I wouldn't want to play that way myself, but some do. I do think something like you said, like a small in-game manual would be useful, giving you basic tips for how to gear and play your class.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-38149888785136703442010-01-14T15:52:12.477+00:002010-01-14T15:52:12.477+00:00I think we all started doing things the wrong way,...I think we all started doing things the wrong way, and for me is perfectly acceptable a character wearing wrong gear up to certain level, specially if he plays a class like enhancement shaman, wehre you do not only physical attacks, so spellpower seems attractive. But at certain levels these mistakes shouldn't happen. Not because the game should have taught you what to wear (this is something WotLK has finally addressed with the quest rewards) but you should already have some information, either from friends, guildmates or just inspecting other chars. Reaching level 70 or further wearing that miscellanea gear just means you're all alone in a game played by over 11 million people, which seems hard to conceive, or refuse to listen to any advice. Or maybe that's too easy to reach level without knowing what's your class all about.<br />Theorycrafting is another game, if you're a healer you'll want things with sp and mp5/spi, but then maths tell you would do better stacking int. I'm not up for the "hardcore numbers" and try to have some balance, but I usually follow the simple guidelines that sites like raider101.com give. Any player should have access to that information from start. Blizz should include some kind of miniguide ingame telling you what basic stats (leaving aside the haste vs crit discussion or simmilar) your char should aim for.Kurnakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474173104387646680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-59805324104200502192010-01-14T14:42:26.504+00:002010-01-14T14:42:26.504+00:00Agility increased the critical hit chance of your ...Agility increased the critical hit chance of your wand, and I think it<br />still does. :)<br /><br />The the blue level 60 dungeon set for priests, the set for mages and<br />the set for warlocks had agility on it. And a lot of agility. That<br />agility was later changed into (a lot less) spirit.<br /><br />The AQ40 set for hunters (http://www.wowhead.com/?itemset=509) has<br />spell power and spirit on it.<br /><br />There are a lot of items in the game which are for your class but have<br />the wrong stats. So, yes, not even does WoW not teach you these<br />things. It even gives the wrong precedence.Kringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03128630042421602039noreply@blogger.com
