To All - My phone has completely stopped working. It does not ring when someone calls me (though it gives the "ringing" tone over the phone, my cell doesn't ring.) I also can't make outgoing calls. Voicemail seems to be working though, and it does pop up the little voicemail notification, so leave a message and I can check in.

Tracfone doesn't know what the problem is, and wasn't able to help over the phone. They filed a ticket with the "higher level support" and was told to 'Try again in three hours. If it doesn't work, call us back.' ;_;

John - Glad you like the weapons. Jarusso is level 13 now. He's a beast at this level, even without twinky-gear. And I've got my Engineering capped at 150 already. Heavy dynomite. Oooh gad. Up to 170pts of damage to everything in a 5-yd radius vs. mobs that may have 150 HP at this level. I've been shielding, running around and tagging a dozen level 8-10 zombies with a DoT, then one-shotting them all in one big explosion. It's fun!

And there is nothing wrong with feasting on the bodies of your fallen enemies. That is how you gain their power...

Bubbles - The forums are are place for people to share Nelfporn and cry. Shaman are fine in PvE, as long as their allowed to be. They can be vicious spellcasters, wield impressive weapons, and wear mail armor at the same time. The problems with the class (and the majority of the crying) is due to Warcraft's lack of healers, and an uninspired raid-or-die endgame. Any class that has a healing spell is expected to be a healer in 40-man. It is the complaint of all "hybrid" classes.

Shaman are the weakest healers in the game, yet because they have a healing spell, they're expected to respec into their Restoration tree (making them weak in every other area) and spam flash heals all night long if they expect to keep raiding.

You'll run into this alot in small groups, too... "Well, we can't find a priest or a druid. Hey Shaman... you'll be healing!" Drives 'em nuts.

Shaman used to be the most broken class in the game. They aren't anymore- Hunters, Warlocks, and Priests have all been buffed to just silly levels. But Shaman are still great in PvE and PvP - they just suck in raids. And since there is nothing else to do after 60 but raid, the Shaman are complaining.

I can't blame them, really. It was the same argument that the Paladins made, and to a lesser extent the Druids. (Though their class description even lists them as a primary healing class.) The role of the hybrid blows- so much utility, but so many players that complain when you use it.
