Warriors are a cool class, yes. They're not typecast into tanks only. In PvP of course you have more flexibility than PVE, where you're either a tank or a dps (2h or fury). While making friends with a healer isn't a bad idea, between various consumables, Warrior abilities, and trinkets, you may be able to counteract many forms of impairment without having a healer around.

You can't be serious. AGAIN!??! Can't you just release the damn thing?

From what I've seen/read/heard, Priests seem to be the closest analogue to Monks, which is exactly what I'm looking for. I want to play a purely support/healing role, if possible, though I know WoW doesn't quite focus on teamplay the way I'm accustomed.
Paladins are pure support, not Priests. They have more powerful buffs and a wider variety, as well as more efficient heals. Priests might have more powerful focused heals but in terms of a support combat role, Paladins are superior in every way as far as I'm concerned.

Now you're attacking me personally, and logic says I should delete your post as it's rude and offtopic. But I won't. I simply said that you don't know the standards. What can I say? You don't. That's not an insult or a "diss". Most people don't know the standards.
My point was addressed to blind, not you. You were saying that the song intro was really bad and generic. OK, fair enough. But you made it sound like that was the official OCR stance on the song. That simply ain't true, and I wanted to make sure blind knew it.

Priests are more hybrids than Paladins are. Paladins have very efficient heals and can fit that role quite well. They are NOT warriors with healing, they are healers with plate. They have terrible offense compared to any other class - Priests on the other hand can be one of the most powerful offensive classes, potentially.

Good stuff, except for the horrendously, ludicrously, absurdly, horrifically, ridiculously, gimme-a-break-are-you-kidding-me intro which is the most unoriginal trance rehash crap which generally speaks for 99% of the genre and made me want to GOL (gag out loud). But with this remix, blind definately stands out in my mind. Seems like he's surpassed Oakenfold, although to most people thats not saying much ;P
Hence "Club Mix" aka for the djs to mix into a set. its necessary. Check out my snowbound remix from earthbound for a nice intro to a dance song. You have to understand the genre...
Next time I submit to OC it will be "OC Edit", like a radio edit, and vgmix will have the full on mix. It fits the guidelines better i guess.
Don't sweat it, man. Magi_tekk doesn't know the standards, djp and the judges do. And we gave you 4YES. This is an amazing piece by our standards and by the standards of dance/trance music.

Ongoing debate? This was a conclusive YES across the board

I got Liquid Instruments Series: Bass. I also was supposed to get SoundLab Drum Fundamentals but SoundsOnline forgot to tell me it was backordered. Idiots. :/

Bliz explicitly posted it was not coming out today. If it is' date=' Tigole is a liar.[/quote']
Bliz had lied in the past.
Seriously it's today or in January.
As you can see, it didn't come out. If they say "the patch is NOT coming out" they are not going to surprise us. They only lie about releasing things early.

Proc rate is about 30%, yeah, but they're apparently nerfing the attack speed debuff in some way. The damage is about 300.

Thunderfury isn't very good, imo. Chromatically tempered sword has nearly 100 max damage over it. Think about the difference in sinister strikes. Thunderfury seems like more of a Fury warrior weapon, or a Paladin mainhand..
-
Don't waste money on a Krol blade, first of all. Dal'Rends set is very close and that's FREE.
In addition, screw Ebon Mask. In like 3 levels you can get a Ghostshroud which looks the same and has better stats.

I prefer sequencing by mouse... anyday. I can't work any other way.

]Piano roll = Ace, once you get to know it. It makes sense, what with the length of the note being how long it plays for, and having the testing piano on the left so you can see what each note sounds like, and then note properties on the bottom. It just makes sense. Once you learn how to use it, you shall see how it gives you so much power when composing on the computer. One problem is that you can't see what all your channels are doing at once, which could suck if you werre doing full on orchestra stuff... but if you are FL may not be the best choice for you.
Or better yet, a soundcard with low latency and MIDI keyboard!
OH SNAP!
lol, piano roll's a bit overrated.
It's not overrated at all. No one's saying it's THE BEST; if they are, they're dumb. It's one method of many to input notes, but it's not a bad one in the least.

Why would you need a second phone line?

Another tip: You might wanna stay away from Pentium processors with hyperthreading. Apparently it causes problems in some software. I think develop
No, it's fine. Most P4s come with HT now. You can always turn it off so it's not an issue.

Ok.. a few things.
1. No Alienware. Build the computer yourself or get one from a company that specializes in audio. Preferably, build it yourself. Don't bother with the Xeon; a 3.4ghz P4 Prescott is just fine. The 2 250gb hard drives is OK but a better idea might be to have a 80-120gb drive that will house Windows and all music applications, and then use the bigger, and usually slower drives, to house your samples and recorded audio. You also don't need a good video card. Any $40 POS like an ATI Radeon 9200 will do the trick.
Liquid cooling? Dual processors? Don't bother. Research quiet power supplies and quiet fans/cooling systems (or if you're getting a prefab computer from say Sweetwater it won't even matter). With a single powerful P4 processor you should be just fine for just about all applications, even running dozens of VSTs. This should reduce the cost of your computer by at LEAST $1000. Then, if you desperately want more power, you can put together 2 or 3 cheap computers with good processors, small HDs, 1gb RAM each, and then use those if you need to distribute processing power via MIDI Over Lan or FXTeleport. No need to go nuts all in one computer.
2. Pick up a pair of nice headphones too in the $100-$200 range. Sennheiser, Sony, AKG, whatever. Always good to have a secondary reference source.
3. Get a full length controller. If you are getting one of those ridiculously expensive desks, why not get a good controller too?
4. Acoustic treatment for the room. It might be worth it to have an expert come in and do this for you, but even the best monitors and the best rig is totally useless unless the room is properly treated.
5. Shure SM57s are great but you may want to look around if you're SERIOUS about recording, since these are technically "budget" misc. You might be able to find more instrument-specific ones that will do the job better.
6. Don't bother with Colossus. Komplete 3 has TONS of stuff. I would then look at a product like NI Bandstand or Sonic Reality Sampletank 2 XL if you want 'workstation' sounds. Between these things AND your two keyboards you should be fine.
7. Consider some mastering plugins. Waves Rennaisance is not a bad deal ($450 for the package) but don't get anything above that in the Waves line. PSP Audioware makes some great stuff as well, as does Sonalkis.
Those are just some start points. Don't spend your money until you do THOROUGH research!!

Oops, my mistake. They do get a great selection of new talents though, no question about it.
-
I haven't heard about that. I do know that Paladins just received a bullshit talent that enhances their mounted AND running speed by I think 10-20% with no disadvantages.
-
Paladin DPS will never approach that of a Warrior, but it's still pretty good if you're properly equipped. I've seen Paladins with BWL shields and Deathbringers and they are frightening.
-
Sounds like a problem with your CPU usage. If your computer is older, you have bad drivers, you're using a lot of VST instruments, your audio buffer is very low, or a combination of any of the above, you might experience heightened CPU usage. Forcing your computer to switch tasks will then tax it even more, causing clicks and pops.

You can't record to an "automation channel". None exist. You have to record automation to a pattern. As far as I'm aware you cannot record to an automation clip. I don't see what the big deal is, though. Just designate a pattern or two for automation.

Two words: Mortal Strike. Most powerful melee ability in the entire game, hands down. Massive, instant damage with a ridiculous debuff that screws up anyone from healers to flag carriers.
Fury warriors can be powerful too, but you need to have SICK weaponry for it to be effective. I'm talking Thunderfuries, Deathbringers, Brutality Blades, Chromatically Tempered Swords, that kind of thing. I know lots of Warriors in my guild who switched to fury (they are MC geared or better) and they went back to MS/2h. Fury is more of a PVE spec, ultimately, I think.
