It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted, but not much has happened. Nefarian has yet to drop any [Netherwind Robes] for us (10 weeks in a row)... last night we had stupid hunter armor drop on almost every boss.

Also, not even a month since 1.11.0 came out, the Test Realm is up for 1.12.0 already. Doesn't seem like a very good patch to me, cross-realm battlegrounds, World PvP, Rogue review.

Well, not much news lately (since I haven't really played all weekend), but I have updated my Profile recently. You'll notice that at the bottom of the page, there are 5 bags shown. These represent the bags I have on Unbarc, and show what I carry in them. Why would I do this? Because I'm bored as hell at work, that's why.

Last night I spent some time on the Test realm, messing with a few different specs. For about 3 days, I played with a talent calculator, and thought I had decided on an Elemental (Fire/Ice) spec, but after killing a bit with it, I realized that I didn't like it at all. So I went back to one of my previous specs that I had made, and hoepfully this will be what I settle with.

There are a few things I'll really have to get used to with this build...

1. No Arcane Power
2. No Arcane Mind (increases mana)
3. No PoM (insta-water no more)
4. Ice Block (never had/used before)
5. Ice Barrier (see #4)

I guess I'll just see how it goes.

Last night was a pretty good night on Nefarian. On 2 consecutive pulls, we got him down to 20% and 19%, respectively. Our problem now seems to be phase 3, which is the zergging. I didn't have any [Limited Invulnerability Potion]s, so I went down pretty quick. Hopefully tonight, we'll have most of the same people on, and we'll kill him for the first time.

This morning I was finally able to copy Unbarc to the test realm. I haven't gotten much chance to do anything yet, but I did try out an arcane/frost build, and I did the Mage quest in Azshara. Two words... Polymorph: Pig.

Finally, the Mages (and Shaman) have gotten their review! Test realm patch notes are available here.

Yesterday, I tracked down somebody to enchant my [Netherwind Gloves] with [Formula: Enchant Gloves - Frost Power] (woo!).

This time, the test realms have been set up with a minor patch. Here's a quote from the WoW main site:

We have seen a profound benefit with offering major patches on the PTRs, and although this is a minor patch, we believe the benefits will apply to it as well.

You can see the test realm notes for 1.10.2 here.

The test realm went live with version 1.10.0 the other day. You can see the patch notes in the Changelog section.
