Frost Tree Blood Presence Build Tops Charts In 3.3

Every now and then, a patch makes a big change to a class. You don’t always see the changes coming, and it often takes people a while to adjust. Anibow has been talking non-stop (not that there’s much news there) about frost spec since 3.3 and how he was going to do mega DPS now. We hadn’t seen any real evidence of that until the Simcraft engine spat out the following numbers from Starfox. Turn out – Ani was right. With a theoretical maximum of 10,511 – this build rivals even mages for chart topping Domination

Since the build at simcraft didn’t contain the Pawn scales for this profile, you’ll just have to make do with looking for the best-in-slot gear from the profile itself.

Talent Build

Glyphs

Major

• Frost Strike
• Obliterate
• Icy Touch

Minor

• Horn of Winter
• Pestilence
• Raise Dead

Runes

• Rune of the Fallen Crusader – Main Hand
• Rune of Razorice – Off Hand

This is one case where the minor glyphs are as much a part of the build as the Major glyphs. Having the Horn of Winter glyph moves the horn of winter ability to the bottom of the priority list, although you will want horn of winter up before the pull for obvious reasons. We’ve also included the rune forging choices for each weapon to bring the entire thing in line with the build.

Priorities

• Blood Presence
• Flask = Endless Rage
• Food = Dragonfin Filet
• Auto Attack
• Raise Dead
• Icy Touch
• Plague Strike
• Howling Blast
• Obliterate
• Blood Strike
• Blood Strike/Death Strike
• Frost Strike
• Empower Rune Weapon
• Howling Blast
• Horn of Winter

You can see that although this is quite a bit more complex than the Arcane mage priority list, it’s nothing compared to something from the Blood build rotations you’ve seen in the past. As you look at the chart below you get a good feel for just how easy this can be. Your mele weapon white swings do a big chunk of your DPS, so after you hit Empower Rune Weapon you can just wait for the Howling Blast cooldown, hit it and then start back with Icy Touch. Just be sure to throw in a raise dead whenever you can.

We know that the temptation is to mash buttons like a fiend, but it is really hard to argue with the numbers here. There are other DK DPS builds in the Starfox file with Priority lists that include internalized rotations – in more than one spot. If I want to think that hard about what I’m doing I’ll go engineer a bridge or something. The great thing about this build is that the priority list is simple and it does ridiculous DPS.

 

Obviously the fellow who built this profile doesn’t go in for Pawn scales (you might not use them either) so you’ll have to live without them in this case. Considering that this build should handily beat any other DK build for DPS and it has a painfully simple rotation (yes I know we’re not calling it a rotation any more) for a DK, you just might find yourself falling in love with beating the rogues, and perhaps even the mages while Dominating with this build

Quoted from http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13772:

The Grand Melee - Quest - World of Warcraft

I have found a really easy way to do this myself, and thought I would share.

• First you get 3 stacks of Defend like the others have mentioned.
• The Valiant will start walking off the direction it was facing before you talked to it. Start pressing Charge immediately to hit it in the back! XD
• The instant you Charge start pressing Shield-Breaker. You can hit them with this ability almost instantly, since your mount will be running a quick circle to face your target. They should now only have 0 shields up right at the start of the fight before they even touch you!
• Now just stand on top of of the Valiant and keep using the Thrust ability, and keep your Defend stacked to 3.
• When the Valiant starts to walk away start spamming Charge followed up with the Shield-Breaker like mentioned above. You should be able to kill the Valiant within 30-45 seconds this way.

Battle of Passchendaele - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Passchendaele:

Battle of Passchendaele - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Battle of Passchendaele also known as the Third Battle of Ypres,[Note 1] Third Flanders Battle (German: Dritte Flandernschlacht) and Second Battle of Flanders (French: 2ème Bataille des Flandres) was one of the major battles of the First World War. The battle consisted of a series of operations starting in June 1917 and finally dissipating in November 1917 in which Entente troops under British command attacked the Imperial German Army.[Note 2] The battle was fought for control of the village of Passchendaele near the town of Ypres in West Flanders, Belgium. The objective of the offensive was to achieve a breakthrough between the River Lys and the North Sea in the hopes of outflanking the German Fourth Army’s defensive system from the north. The British believed the manoeuvre would cripple the German U-boat campaign by depriving Germany of the use of the Belgian ports. Germany inflicted increasingly heavy losses on British shipping following its resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in February 1917 and the British mistakenly believed the Germans were using Belgian ports for U-boat operations. The offensive also served the dual purpose of diverting German attention away from the French in the Aisne, who were suffering from widespread mutiny.

The British launched several massive attacks, heavily supported by artillery and aircraft. The British never managed to make a decisive breakthrough against well-entrenched German lines. The battle consisted of a series of 'Bite and Hold' attacks to capture critical terrain and wear down the German army, lasting until the Canadian Corps took Passchendaele on 6 November 1917, ending the battle. Although inflicting irreplaceable casualties on the Germans, the Allies had captured a mere 5 miles (8 km) of new territory at a cost of 140,000 combat deaths, a ratio of roughly 2 inches (5 cm) gained per dead soldier. The Germans recaptured their lost ground, without resistance, 5 months later during the Battle of the Lys.[2]

Passchendaele has become synonymous with the misery of grinding attrition warfare fought in thick mud. Most of the battle took place on reclaimed marshland, swampy even without rain. 1917 had an unusually cold and wet summer, and heavy artillery bombardment destroyed the surface of the land. Though there were dry periods, mud was nevertheless a constant feature of the landscape; newly-developed tanks bogged down in mud, and soldiers often drowned in it. The battle is a subject of fierce debate among historians, particularly in Britain. The volume of the British Official History of the War which covered Passchendaele was the last to be published, and there is evidence it was biased to reflect well on Field Marshal Douglas Haig and badly on General Hubert Gough, the commander of the Fifth Army.[3] The heavy casualties suffered by the British Army in return for slender territorial gains have led many historians to follow the example of David Lloyd George, the Prime Minister of the time, and use it as an example of senseless waste and poor generalship. There is also a revisionist school of thought which seeks to emphasise the achievements of the British Army in the battle, in inflicting great damage on the German Army, relieving pressure on the distressed French, and developing offensive tactics capable of dealing with German defensive positions, which were significant in winning the war in 1918.[4][5]

Casualty figures for the battle are still a matter of some controversy. Some accounts suggest that the Allies suffered significantly heavier losses than the Germans, while others offer more even figures. However, no-one disputes that hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides were killed or crippled.[6] The last surviving veteran of the battle, Private Harry Patch died 25 July 2009.[7]

BBC - Food - Recipes: Bombay potato cakes with coriander and mint

Ingredients

For the potato cakes
200g/7oz vegetable oil
450g/1lb raw potatoes, peeled, cut into cubes
1 tbsp coriander seeds, toasted in a dry frying pan, crushed to a powder
1 tbsp cumin seeds, toasted in a dry frying pan, crushed to a powder
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp ground ginger
2 garlic cloves, peeled, crushed to a paste with the edge of a knife
3 red chillies, finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
200g/7oz boiled potatoes, mashed until smooth
100g/3½oz plain flour
For the sauce
small bunch fresh coriander
small bunch fresh mint leaves
1 tsp sea salt
200ml/7fl oz white wine vinegar
200ml/7fl oz plain yoghurt

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. For the potato cakes, heat half of the oil in a casserole in the oven. When the oil is smoking, add the raw potato cubes and turn them until coated in the oil on all sides.
3. Stir in the spices, garlic and chilli to coat the potatoes, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown but tender inside. Remove the potatoes from the casserole using a slotted spoon and set aside on kitchen paper to drain and cool slightly, then mix into the mashed potatoes.
5. Shape the mashed potato mixture into twenty to twenty-four 5cm/2in patties, using your hands.
6. Sprinkle the flour onto a plate and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roll each patty in the seasoned flour.
7. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the patties, in batches, and fry in the oil for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden-brown on both sides and heated through. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper. Repeat the process with the remaining patties.
8. Meanwhile, for the sauce, blend the herbs, salt and vinegar in a food processor until well combined. Stir in the yoghurt.
9. To serve, divide the Bombay potato cakes equally among six to eight serving plates. Place dipping bowls of the sauce alongside each.

"Spaceflight will never tolerate carelessness, incapacity, and neglect. Somewhere, somehow, we screwed up. It could have been in design, build, or test. Whatever it was, we should have caught it. We were too gung ho about the schedule and we locked out all of the problems we saw each day in our work. Every element of the program was in trouble and so were we. The simulators were not working, Mission Control was behind in virtually every area, and the flight and test procedures changed daily. Nothing we did had any shelf life. Not one of us stood up and said, 'Dammit, stop!' I don't know what Thompson's committee will find as the cause, but I know what I find. We are the cause! We were not ready! We did not do our job. We were rolling the dice, hoping that things would come together by launch day, when in our hearts we knew it would take a miracle. We were pushing the schedule and betting that the Cape would slip before we did. From this day forward, Flight Control will be known by two words: 'Tough' and 'Competent.' Tough means we are forever accountable for what we do or what we fail to do. We will never again compromise our responsibilities. Every time we walk into Mission Control we will know what we stand for. Competent means we will never take anything for granted. We will never be found short in our knowledge and in our skills. Mission Control will be perfect. When you leave this meeting today you will go to your office and the first thing you will do there is to write 'Tough and Competent' on your blackboards. It will never be erased. Each day when you enter the room these words will remind you of the price paid by Grissom, White, and Chaffee. These words are the price of admission to the ranks of Mission Control."

BBC NEWS | England | Tyne | Cliff sings curry house's praises

Sir Cliff Richard and Hank Marvin have visited a Tyneside Indian restaurant following a Shadows reunion show.

Sir Cliff and guitarist Marvin popped into Raval Restaurant on Newcastle Gateshead Quayside after their show at the Newcastle Arena.

Sir Cliff, who was born in India, ate the Lucknow rogan josh - a dish typical to the area where he once lived.

The restaurant's owners said Sir Cliff told them it was the best he had tasted.

Manager Avi Malik said it was special to get such praise from someone who knew so much about Indian cuisine.

Mr Malik said: "Sir Cliff said he eats in places all over the world but our Indian food was real Indian food, the best he had ever tasted, and it was a treat to be here."

Sir Cliff and Hank Marvin also tucked into lobster and mango, and dehi bela - lentil "doughnuts" in yoghurt and coriander.

The two were invited to look around the kitchen to watch food being prepared.

Hank Marvin, who is originally from Newcastle, but now lives in Australia, spoke to staff about the positive changes that had taken place in his home town.

SPACE.com -- Launching Tuesday: Pivotal Test Flight of NASA's Untried Rocket

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA's brand-new rocket, the vehicle planned to launch astronauts spaceward after the space shuttles are retired, is poised to make its first-ever test flight Tuesday.

The experimental Ares I-X rocket is set to lift off at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) from Pad 39B here at Kennedy Space Center. NASA needs good weather in order to gather detailed data on how the $445 million booster performs during this maiden voyage. Unfortunately, weather officer Kathy Winters has predicted a grim 60 percent chance of clouds thwarting a launch attempt Tuesday
