I don’t think its a coincidence that both Kruf and Kripparrian use NeedToKnow. It’s fantastic for tracking just about anything you’d want to track. I use it for dots, cooldowns, procs, internal cooldowns, and even little stuff like the Lightwell hot so that I don’t clip it. Its bars can be colored, textured and sized in a myriad of ways. It’s also lightweight and requires minimal setup time.
I downloaded after the show. I was using cooldown countdown timers 3 before. The one thing I havnt noticed yet with ntk is how to break apart the bar stack so it’s not just a big block. I must be missing something really straight forward. I also need a better cast bar mod than what im using now that I can’t quite remember the name of.
I don’t believe you can break the blocks apart, but if you want, say, a single bar by itself, you can activate a new block and only have it display one bar.
Pretty good mod got a couple ideas you might like @ Randle for cast mods like. I use Quartz for my cast bar easily adjustable and tells you buffs etc on the cast bar if u want it to. Also there is another mod i forget the name it streamlines priorities of what u should shoot next and when it’s coming up on a timeline looking face. yell if anyone knows the one i’m talking about.
i enjoy these podcasts but i dont think you guys were getting what kruf was saying about 25s being the real determinate of the raiding elite. or as he put it “the proper” way to evaluate raid achievements.
perhaps you disagree (tho i fail to see how anyone can argue against 25 man raids being the ultimate expression of raiding in wow. i mean, really) because in the interview you all just can’t seem to come to grips with what he’s saying.
I know for sure that Dark and I are in agreement with him- we run a 25 man raid group despite the fact that we’re losing people to smaller 10 man guilds.
and i also agree with kruf that 25s are the real raids. 10s are really the casual raid version of wow.
I personally long for the days of 40 man sometimes. Our guild lost a lot of people (mostly to real life and people not buying cata) so until we get some people we’re running 10s.
