  1. I just could not take it anymore..... Viable adjective 1. capable of living. 2.Physiology a.) physically fitted to live. b.) (of a fetus) having reached such a stage of development as to be capable of living, under normal conditions, outside the uterus. 3. Botany able to live and grow. 4. vivid; real; stimulating, as to the intellect, imagination, or senses: a period of history that few teachers can make viable for students. "Mercenary Healing as a viable option in end game raids." Does not mean "Mercenary Healing as a useful and necessary option for end game raids."
  2. I really don't post much on forums, but today I had an epiphany. I realized the reason why I lost the will to keep playing my Juggernaut tank is the sheer fact that I really didn't have much of a choice. Now, before I explain why, I'd like to say that I am not a bad player, I don't suck, more often than not I carefully move through all the 55 HM's (not slowly) and given that I ran those 55 hm's over and over on a dps character to learn how tanks move around and deal with each little "gotchas" (example: Mandalorian Raiders, pack of dogs before first boss etc etc and athiss elite droids at beginning etc etc.) I read tank forums about stat balance sheets all the time, I ask questions to raiding tanks and experienced tanks, even though I get blasted for being too polite or even for asking in the general chat for a tank to talk to, I learn and strive to not suck. Now, my tank is pretty decent, my playskills are pretty good, I keybind my important abilities for keeping aggro, I put guard on the heavy hitters, I do what I can and I know I do well. But my problem is that it's unlikely for me to raid in Operations for better gear, as I cannot use 3rd party voice programs because I am deaf, believe me I've been asked to join guilds because I tanked well in a hardmode FP only to be dropped like a hot potato when I mention that I cannot use ventrillo, teamspeak, or mumble. Now, I understand the necessity of such programs for successful raids, I don't blame anyone nor do I scream injustice, it's the story of my life. Sure, it'll take a while to get "my foot" into the door, but given the way things work, it's seeming bleak. So my choices are limited to commendation vendors and slowly building up ultimate commendations. The real problem for me is pretty much the fact that there are really limited selections on these commendation vendors for my Juggernaut tank. I mean in the elite and ultimate commendation vendors, the tank gear is chock full of absorption and alacrity and accuracy modded Gear. Given that 9 out of 10 of the experienced tanks and information I've researched on the internet, Alacrity and accuracy is unnecessary. On top of that, the lack of defense mods on all those items minus the belt and bracers. Given those options, I really became discouraged to play my Juggernaut tank. This is just from my standpoint.
  3. Hidden strike shiv Stim and Fatality, (Lethality spec bonus 60% chance after using shiv to gain) and Laceration in the concealment tree. death of a NPC or player. also, if you spec into the Incisive Action talent located on the bottom of the medicine tree to gain one Tactical Advantage from a kolto injection. if you are dps, try and keep at least one TA up at all times if you can. it's a challenge but you will benefit from it.
  4. haha I remember playing on an EU server in WoW with friends from another game. I did a pug group running in a WOTLK heroic as a druid healer and the rogue in my group kept blasting me for being american. It was difficult to bear at first, but afterwards he said he was just giving me a hard time. that doesn't happen on US servers at all... heh.
