9 World of Warcraft Tips to Enhance your Gaming Experience

Power Leveling Tips

Every WoW player knows that power leveling in World of Warcraft is not that simple. There are countless levels, numerous enemies to fight off, and a great deal of strategy involved in this highly addictive masterpiece online game. One of the main goals for gamers is to advance quickly through each level. To help you do so, here are some answers to questions about power leveling in World of Warcraft.

Q. How can I level up faster in World of Warcraft?
A. First thing I recommend you to do is to get one of the many WoW leveling guides that fill the internet. For example a copy of Brian Kopp Alliance Guide. This one includes the in-game add-on that helps you avoid alt-tabbing during the game. This will help you to eliminate a great deal of wasted time.

Q. What's the best guide on the market?
A. It’s very hard to to pinpoint a single guide as there are so many to choose from and everyone of us has a personal style of gameplay. Some of the more popular guides you can look at are Brian Kopp for alliance players, Joana for the horde and Zygor for Dugi. However, it is best to look at a few and see what catches your attention.

Q. Can macros help me to level up faster?
A. Macro commands or macros can greatly help you because they save your time and speed up the power leveling process. A macro is grouping of several slash commands that execute together when you click a button. A macro may also refer to some programmed keystrokes and/or mouse movements to fight or repeat some action. Learn how to use them as soon as possible. Read about macro commands here.

Q. What is a Quest Helper addon. Is it really helpful for power leveling?
A. If you have just begun playing World of Warcarft game, you may be clueless as to what a Quest Helper is. However, this is one term you are going to want to become familiar with fairly fast. QuestHelper is a free in game add-on that you can download and it is extremely invaluable. I always use it myself. It shows an arrow that tells you where to go for the next quest and where the quest givers are. It really helps you to identify your next move.

Q. What are Coordinates?
A. Coordinates are the exact place where something is located in your map. It does not matter what the item is as this feature will tell you the exact location of this as well. It does require an add-on that you have to download, but you can do it easily on the internet. Life in World of Warcraft is practically impossible without Coordinates =)))

Power Leveling means leveling up as fast as possible. You need to squeeze everything possible out of the game means for that.

I hope that these power leveling tips have been useful to you. You might be also interested in increasing your shadow priest DPS or find out how to get your girlfriend to play World of Warcraft.

Ubuntu WOW

Ubuntu WOW

Do you have Ubuntu installed on your PC or laptop and you are a big fan of this masterpiece, World of Warcraft? Do you want to combine these two things? No problems. If there is a will there is a way for you to become one of the happy

ubuntu wow

gamers.


The first thing you should is to include proprietary driver. Go to "Device Drivers", install the driver and then restart your PC.

Now make a check:

$ Glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes

Have you managed to do this? Fine. Let's continue.
If Wine (Windows system emulation software)is not installed yet in your system then install it right now. Do it like this:

sudo aptitude install wine

After that go to .../WoW/WTF folder and there edit the file Config.wtf
Add the following lines in it:

SET gxApi "opengl"
SET ffxDeath "0"
SET ffxGlow "0"
SET M2UseShaders "0"
SET Sound_SoundOutputSystem "1"
SET Sound_SoundBufferSize "150"
SET gxWindow "1"

Well, now we expect the game to work normally, but sometimes there is a bug with the textures when you enter the buildings. To correct this bug you should edit Wine register:

wine regedit

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\
and create a key Opengl. Add a string value in it: DisabledExtensions
and enter GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object

Now run Ubuntu WOW with the following command:

wine WoW/wow.exe -opengl

The bug with textures should disappear, but the minimap may show the white space when you are inside the buildings.

Still, there is also another bug. We don't know whether it is a memory leak, or the textures not exempt on time, but the game is gradually eating memory. Then, after some time passes, it self-cleares. That's not really a big bug, but it can be annoying. Just try not to pay attention to it.

I hope this advice on ubuntu wow was useful.

Shadow priest DPS

Today I was looking for any ways to maximize my shadow priest DPS. I found a wonderful forum post by griemak at www.shadowpriest.com. I think these things are extremely important for any shadow priest who has decided to become the best damage dealer ever. I allowed myself to simplify this guide a bit.

Shadow Priest DPS Guide

List of abbreviations:

VT – Vampiric Touch
DP – Devouring Plague
MB – Mind Blast
MF – Mind Flay
SW:P – Shadow Word: Pain
SW:D – Shadow Word: Death
MB – Mind Blast

First things to know:

1) Download a DOT timer addon to see the expiration time of your DOTs. It should be able to show tenths of a second.
2) Download a cast bar that shows estimated latency within the cast. I use Quartz.
4) Download an addond that reminds you to cast Inner Fire every time it expires.
3) Remember, as soon as one cast finishes you should land another one on your target. NEVER, EVER, EVER clip your VT and DP. This lowers DPS substantially.
4) At the same time try to reduce your downtime to zero.

There is a so called “opener” and a “rotation sequence”.

Your opener should be as follows: VT-DP-MB-MF-SW:P-SW:D-MB

Cast it only once, at the beginning of the fight.

Then do the following:

1. Refresh VT when approximately 1-1.3 seconds are remaining till it expires.
2. Refresh DP after it expires, not before.
3. If MB is ready – cast MB, if not cast MF.

So your rotation sequence should look like: VT-DP-MB-MF-SW:P

Use your Shadowfiend on cooldown, i.e. as soon as it’s ready, don’t wait.

Use a Wild Magic with Bloodlust or Heroism buffs.

Use Dispersion if you have to reduce your DPS because of some obstacles, like changing your fight position. I also save it till I’ve almost out of mana and as an "oh shit" button.

Though Inner Fire is often underestimated, it will raise your shadow priest DPS significantly.

Flask of the Frost Wyrm, Fish Feast, Shoveltusk, or it's fish equivalent should be up at all times.
