A tip for those wanting to start up a guild: you can't open the guild charter if you have the guild invite block option turned on. Forgot I had it on, of course...

So final attempt to do this before I loose my mind - if anyone can sign my guild charter, my Troll Reull is sitting crying quietly in the Orc start area on Wyrmrest Accord.

NOTE: all done, thanks very much.

So, Fire Mages. I'm in love with my little 83 mage at the moment, but I have some questions.

1) Pyroblast - do you ever hard-cast it, or only ever wait for a proc? Do you need to keep the dot up at all times? What about at the start of the fight, if you can't pre-cast a bit before combat, would you stand there in the fight and hard-cast? I usually try to cast it at the start of the fight even if it means hard-casting, because I like to pop combustion at the beginning. Is it better to not hard-cast, and hold combustion back until you get a pyro proc instead?

2) Ignite - how much do I need to worry about this with regards to combustion? I do have Combustion Helper, so I can see when it goes green, but is it really important to wait for ignite to proc? Sometimes it seems like I'm waiting forever for it to go green so I just cast it without waiting. Do I need to worry about ignite threshholds to get the most out of my combustion? How do I know when the ignite is big enough?

3) Mana - OMG mana is an insane drain right now. I know it comes with the gear and level, I went through the same thing with my shadowpriest, but she has a lot of tools for regaining mana, whereas the mage not so much that I can see. I use mana gem and evocation on cooldown, and I'm still falling way behind the groups because I have to drink to full after every trash pull (I keep getting locked out of boss fights because I'm still drinking when they pull!). Are there any tricks I've missed? It's kind of embarrassing but I've started using Mage Armour instead, do I just have suck it up until I get better gear at 85?

4) Impact - sometimes I will hit a fully dotted mob with impact and tab to another target immediately and there are no dots on it. Does is have a hidden limitation to the number of targets it spreads to, or am I just overestimating whuch things are in the 12 yard range?

I think that's all I wanted to know, thanks!

Hey ladies! So I have a super ignorant technical question for the community. I know there are a lot of computer-savvy women in our ranks, and since everyone is always so generous with their expertise I thought I'd turn here first.

Hello ladies and lurking gents!

My little spacegoat paladin and I on Hydraxis are in need of a bit of help. I've been sitting in trade chat for about an hour, asking if there was a blacksmith who could craft me http://us.battle.net/wow/en/item/69948 these lovelies. I have all the mats and will tip but so far there has been nary a nibble. So my request is this: do any of you lovely ladies know someone who would be able to make these boots for me? I'd really appreciate it, as right now my spacegoat has some not-very-good boots and I want these to last a while. Thanks ladies!

Prices same as always, $8 for a portrait, $16 for a half body

Is there an addon where you can type in coordinates and have them show on the mini-map or map?

Thanks everyone, for the advice for my partner regarding her priest. she found it very helpful :)

Now, we have a question about BC Heroics, and more to the point, how does one do them in Heroic mode when you're too far past the level for the dungeon finder? Are the keys mentioned in WoWiki needed? Does it still require the quest chain for Magister's Terrace Heroic to be done? I tried searching and couldn't find concrete info on either one. Basically, wanting to know if those requirements changed, and, how does one change from Normal to Heroic mode, since we can't use the random dungeon thing for BC heroics on these toons anymore.

I am going to feel really derpy if it was something really easy that my overtired brain overlooked. Thanks in advance.

thanks everyone for your answers!

I'm tanking through several HOT dungeons and almost every time, this seems to come up.

As all of my gear is above twilight gear (even my OS gear) I usually just greed or DC for any dropped loot. The last few weeks another issue has been brought to light; others needing for Off spec gear.

An example, the dungeon I just left because of drama-mongering.

We are going along great. We have 3 randoms (including me) and two people in the same guild. One of the two is dangling behind and not really doing much because they are, and I quote, "looking something up" for the active one in the group. We have ok dps, so its not going to kill us if he finishes up with what he is doing then joins us. (P.s. If you are doing something that is going to keep you from actually participating in the dungeon, don't que until you are finished.)

When he is returned, the two are talking in p-chat constantly and both of their dps fails miserably because of it. Oh well, I can get over it. Not the first time it has happened.

Fist boss, down. Easy. Great! lets move on.

Loot roll-
Srength/stam- tank belt
Tank: DE
Healz: Pass
1st dps- Need
2/3d dps- Greed <---from same guild

So obviously the need-ee won. 2/3rd dps begin to flip. They call this dps a bunch of names because the gear he is in is all LFR. He says, "its for my Off spec" And switches his gear set to show everyone that he actually needed that belt for his tank spec. Great! I didn't need it and he did. So he needed it. What they didn't see was that he asked ME if he could need it. I wouldn't have minded anyway but he at least asked the only on in the group who could have used it for any spec.

Meanwhile, the other two are still moaning and complaining making it uber difficult to get up the ramp to get to the queen. They were complaining that he should not have needed it because needing for OS is on the same level as needing it for DE. After some flings of bad language and the healer calling us all f-ing babies (but using the whole word)I was finished.

My entire portion of the matter. "I didn't need it. He needed it for his off spec. So let him need it."

Now that I am out of the dungeon, I would like a little input. Many people have different views on the whole thing but here is mine on the needing side of things.

Need for main spec is always first roll. If you already have something better. Don't need on it. Plain and simple.

Second is need for off spec. A lot of times this becomes an honor system as some people say they need it when they really don't. Or they have an opposite off spec and need it because they can, for the gold. This is where your own conscience comes in. If you lie or are deceitful, the dungeon isn't going anywhere and that loot will drop again, but really....try to be honest.

Third is Disenchants or vendor fodder. Why? Because what are you going to do with it after you DE it? Vendor!!!! SO everyone should get a chance at that gold. Period. End of story.

It's Transmogrification Tuesday here at wow_ladies and I'd like to see what outfits everyone has been putting together!

Post pictures/links of your outfits below. Please list the names of the items used and where they were procured to aid the other wow_ladies' members on their own searches!

I recently race changed my mage from a Draenei to a Worgen and have begun the search for the perfect transmog for her. She is currently sporting a black/orange themed outfit, but something about it just doesn't sit very well with me. I love her shoulders--it's the item I used to model the rest of the outfit around--but it is difficult to find a matching robe that complements them. Any suggestions?
