Hey chaud is there any AMD processor as good as the intel i7 2.7k ? i have a mobo that support am3 processor and can't upgrade to an intel without changing also the mobo.

[Poysonivy]

Most computer stores will build a pc for you at around 25/30 euro/dollars. But love to see a laptop setup one day.

Nope. The best you could do is a Phenom II X4 980. Depending on what you have now, I would just wait for Haswell in 2013 and upgrade the CPU/mobo/RAM then if you can.

Why did you pick a HX 750 when it's made by CWT and not Seasonic? That's the whole thing buying Corsairs products, "the quality". CWT lack of quality, and you're picking a HX750 instead of a HX650 which is build by Seasonic? If you want a 750W PSU you should atleast have picked the AX one.. GZ chaud

They are both good PSUs. There is nothing wrong with the HX750.

Can't wait till everyone's using the same Water Strider mount in BGs, lol.

Erm...how come they don't list the fishing raft in there as one of the rewards? Did they remove it? I hope not! =(

I've built my own computer before, but I didn't build my last one. It was simply too expensive compared to a retail machine. I don't pirate Windows software and am sure as hell not running Linux. My latest I didn't build because it's a laptop which I'm using happily on my front porch to type this message!

More expensive than a retail machine? That's pretty crap. Not sure where you live, but here in Australia retail computers are insanely overpriced. I made the mistake of buying one. Spent almost 3k on a computer that lasted me a year before I realised it was crap. Got my friend to build me an awesome computer and cost me a little under 2k, it's lasted me longer than the retail one and cost less.

Not every single piece of gear needs to have spirit, that's the main point Blizzard wants to get across. Let's keep 4.2 as an example, as a Holy Paladin the only belt available for that tier of content was the reputation one, and it was a crit/mastery belt. No spirit, and there's absolutely nobody else that could have used it. Like it was mentioned in the blue post, you reach certain points where you can have plenty of mana regeneration even with a few spirit-less pieces. I agree that it's poor design, but it's certainly not exclusive to cloth users.

Hmm, in addition to tier and valor there were at least 6 ot 7 extra H pally drops containing spirit in 4.2 - for a priest there were zero and only 1 in 4.3. If Blizzard are so sure that mana regen gets too much why only limit cloth? What would happen for example if through bad luck all that was available were non spirit drops for the first few weeks? There is infact no problem providing they produce big enough raids, but those days seem to have gone.

NPC named "Master Baiter"...really?...I feel like I would get a forced name change from blizz if I named a toon that.

Someone hasn't seen Tier 14.

About time fishing got some lovin'. Cant believe there weren't any fishing upgrades, mounts, pets for cata daily quests - blizzard got lazy.

Socket 2011 is generally a waste of money, you would be better off just going with a 3770K.

[Chronius]

I'm curious about the pole option: I would rather have the warranty and less risk.
What country doesn't give warranty on the individual components?

[Meffisto]

why is Socket 2011 waste of money? last time i build a computer was 2years ago and im bit rusty, also could you recomend a MOBO + CPU for 1k dollars?

[quras]

Just read the diablo 3 article.

Enrage timer in a diablo game. WTF!

The performance gained from moving to it is not worth the massive increase in cost. Anything more than the CPU and Motherboard in the Unicorn system is a waste of money for 99% of people.

[Frunken]

There is a picture of it. Doesn't look like a Qiraji mount to me.

It's very clearly the same model. Saddle position and the skinny legs along with the back being raised and where the head is, just has a different skin on it. Still cool.

NPC named "Master Baiter"...really?...I feel like I would get a forced name change from blizz if I named a toon that.

It's Beta. They tend to make more 'mature' jokes and references in Beta, then change them in live.

A prime example is one of those Sullah's Sideshow quests in Uldum. On live, you have a quest called "Master Trapper", with this text:

One thing about me that you might not know, ...

I come from a long line of trappers. My father taught me, as his taught him, to master the art of trapping creatures in a most merciful manner.

As any master trapper will tell you, the most important ingredient in an effective trap is the bait.

So let's start there.

Fill this bucket with the meat scraps from almost any wild creature in Uldum.

In the Cataclysm Beta, it was "Bait Master", with this text:

One thing about me that you might not know, <name>...

I come from a long line of bait masters. My father taught me, as his taught him, to master the art of baiting.

Come, now, I'll show you what I mean. <Sullah raises an eyebrow at you.> Why the hesitation, my friend? No need to be shy!

<Sullah shrugs.> Very well, we'll start slow. I have a bucket here that I want you to fill... with bait. Meat scraps from any of Uldum's wildlife will do just fine.

TL;DR: It won't be called this on Live, I'm sure. Though I'm still surprised the whole "Thrall's Balls" line got through.


It looks like there will be a fair number of fishing dailies. I wonder if they'll give skill-ups for fishing, or if they are just progression?

I could probably check by clicking on them, but I don't wanna spoil any quest specifics.

[Alayea]

I don't know if I'll bother with purchasing Dragon Fishing Pole, since I still have my Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole. I was hoping there would be a more powerful version in MoP.

oh wow this is @ the pole. you all who clicked "i dont know which parts to pick" really dont know how to scim quickly through out computer builds forum or chauds build of the month list to see which parts to get?

"Seeing" does not necessarily equate to "understanding". I've seen chaud's setups for a good while now, but all I do is just skim through it because most of it is pure gibberish to me.

If you were in my place, you'd be reluctant to base your computer build entirely on just viewing a list, too.
