… which will say “Gratz” when a player achieves something. I found something on the net on how to do this, and I thought I followed the instructions to the letter, but I can’t make the button work.
Here’s a screenshot:http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/Drummerboy49/gungrats2.jpg
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, please?
It’s from CURSE and it’s called “gungrats”
Thanks
Q
There shouldn’t really be any need for all of that, Quasi. All you need to do is set your messages in the control panel, then /gungrats enable. The whole point of the add-on is to do it automatically so you don’t have to hit the macro button.
Ugh! I went from ilvl 362 to ilvl 372 this last week and my DPS hasn’t really changed - I’m like 13.5k DPS, which is horrible! I wish I knew what was wrong. I looked at my shot rotation over on FemaleDwarf’s site and it matches up to my DPS. Armory link.
Also, tried LFR last night, went better than expected, no wipes on first 2 bosses. But the ooze boss, damn. Raid leader said priority was purple, black, red. Then purple and red spawn, and we go after purple and the more experienced people start bitching us out for doing purple instead of red, saying red is always first. What the hell? Then why did you say purple, black, red?

You’re way over the hit cap, you only need 8% hit and you’re around 13%. Head over to the reforger and reforge off all that hit into crit. If it has crit already on it, reforge the hit to haste. Also replace that +10 stats gem in your belt with a +40 agility gem, or the +30 if the gem prices are too high on your realm.
So who’s having fun with transmog? I think I spent as much time transmogging my gear as I did in instances since the patch came out. It made me really sad to find out I had sold all my t10 shaman gear, I really liked the blue. So I made her look like a hunter!
Jay,
I finally gave up. I have a thank you button, but it doesn’t thank automatically. You do have to choose it. I think SFG helped me set that one up, and all it has written in the box is /thank.
Q
The Knights Who Say Ja (KWSJ), could make it to level 2 tonight (shorter hearth cool down), if we’re all in Alex… 
See y’all later, maybe. I’ve been at it since 11 am.
Q
I know I mentioned this last night on Vent to a few of you, but I made a thread about it instead for simplicity sake.
Also, if you’re usually in Marks, try reforging mastery to haste or crit. I use an Aimed Shot focus dump rotation, so I use haste. If you’re using Arcane Shot, I think crit is better. This is what I’ve gathered from both EJ and from playing mine.
I love transmog. My blood elf looks like a high elf and my warlock looks like a wandering hermit. It’s the best thing ever.
I’ve gotten a lot of help out of wowreforge.com. It has some thresholds so it’ll prioritize hit up to a certain point, then switch over to you’re next stat. I find it very useful for raiding.
Yeah, it seems as if it DOES take forever to reach guild level 2, but it really helps to group with one of your buds and talk back and forth
Because of this, I was able to pick up the Amberpine Lodge chain of PVP. and I’m having a ball with it!
Thanks, guys! I appreciate your patience, and it sure is nice to have someone to talk to, in-game.

My paladin, Eilyssana, is rocking the Crusader look. The armor is the starter level 70 PvP set that required certain rep with faction vendors spread all over Outland. I managed to earn the rep while relentlessly farming TBC heroics a while back (until I got bored out of my skull doing that). I was trying to assemble the Righteous Armor set, but only managed the helm, shoulders, and chest. Aeonus and Warchief Kargath just didn’t want to cough up the legs and gloves for me. The only full tier set she ever assembled was T9, but unfortunately she sold that long before we heard about transmogging. She only had one piece of T10, the helm, and the rest of the suit she was wearing during the T10 era was comprised of the various iLvl 264 off-set pieces and the BoE Raging Behemoth’s Shoulderpads. It all looked great together, and I might transmog into that at some point.
It was expensive, but my mage did a bunch of tailoring to create the full Primal Mooncloth set for my nelf priest, Syanalle. This was mainly because I’d gotten so tired of looking at the BoA robe and shoulders she’d been wearing for so long (and that the mage wore for a long time before that, and that my human warlock will probably end up wearing if I ever get around to leveling her). Probably kind of a waste at this point, since she’s only four levels away from 80, but then I haven’t liked the look of most of the cloth quest reward gear in Cata, so I may just keep transmogging everthing into the Primal Mooncloth.
Finally, I also transmogged my dwarf hunter’s BoA’s and helm into the quest gear he picked up in, I think, the Badlands. And of course, transmogged his bow into a proper gun 
My recently-turned-85 nelf hunter, Nouveus (my sixth 85!), will soon have enough Tol Barad Commendations to pick up that crossbow they have there, and of course he’ll transmog it immediately into the bow he’s currently using (Sporeshot, the cool-looking bow from Deepholm).
Nouveus used to reside on Argent Dawn, a RP server, where he was a member of a good RP guild. Around the first of this year, the guild leader was having employment problems and couldn’t afford to play. After he was gone for a couple months I took over as GL, but most of the rest of the guild had wandered off by that point. So I bought the original GL 3 months of game time and handed the leadership back to him, but pretty soon he was gone again. He hasn’t been on in about four months now, and the guild roster was down to 20, of which six were my characters and nine or ten were the GL’s. The others in the guild also hadn’t logged in for quite a while, so I decided the guild was officially dead. So I stripped all of my toons except Nouveus, sold everything they had except their auctionables, the mailed all the gold and auctionables to Nouveus and deleted everybody else. Then I transferred Nouveus over to Alexstrasza so I could help Quasi when I have time.
In other news…
My level 85 human rogue, Thelois, on Wyrmrest Accord has now found herself in a situation similar to the one Nouveus was in on Argent Dawn— she was in a good guild, and then a couple months ago the GL and the officers (the GL’s real-life friends) all just stopped logging on. She’s staying put for now, though. I really like the community on that server, and in any case she worked her way to Exalted with that guild, dangit! So I’m hoping the GL and officers will come back eventually. I enjoyed yakking with them, even though I was kind of the “odd man out”, being the 45-year-old straight guy and they all being college-age gay guys.
Thelois has had kind of a rough go of it finding a guild. Her current guild (such as it is) is her fourth. Her first guild was an RP guild with a story focused around rebuilding that town in the DK starting area. About the time she leveled to where she could travel EPL without getting slaughtered, the GL quit the game and handed the reins to his buddy, who changed the focus to rebuilding Gilneas. Nothing much happened with that, and pretty soon I never could find anybody else on. So I quit that guild, and joined another by signing some guy’s guild charter. The guild was formed … and then the guy apparently never logged on again. So I quit that guild, and a few weeks later joined a promising-looking guild based around the Roman Empire. The GL there had created an elaborate system of ranks and guild roles and bylaws that were fairly accurately rooted in ancient Rome, and I thought, “Hey, here’s a dedicated crowd!” Alas, the GL never seemed to RP. Instead he spent all his time running heroics and raids and BGs, and providing us in gchat with a constant, profanity-laden running commentary on how badly RPers suck at heroics, raids, and PvP. Deciding that wasn’t my scene, I quit that guild and found Thelois’s current guild.
My paladin in the Burning Dog Legion was formerly the blood elf Keliraeda, but now she’s the tauren Donoma. The name “Donoma” is a Native American name from the Omaha tribe, and means “sight of the sun”, which I thought was a good name for a Sunwalker 
Aside from all that, I’ve found myself mostly bored with WoW. Cataclysm just really didn’t offer much for those of us who don’t raid, and based on all the complaints about heroics on the official forums I just couldn’t work up any interest in doing them. So most of my WoW time the last several months has involved just logging in and doing a few dailies on each of my 85s, and occasionally doing a bit of questing on my non-capped toons.
I’ve started playing City of Heroes, the only other “major” MMO that offers a Mac client, and have been having great fun with that. The community in that game is a breath of fresh air — people are downright friendly and helpful. And since I’ve gotten used to CoH’s far superior character models, I’ve scrapped what plans I had to transmog my human female paladin’s armor into the plate bikini she’d assembled. She just looks awful in it compared to the female models in CoH.
How are you supposed to even DO the shooting gallery at Darkmoon? You can’t even see into the booth for the huge crowd of people (3/4 of which are either Tauren or Moonkin druids who are twice as wide as any other model)!
I just stand there and spam 1. As long as you’re facing the targets I don’t think you can influence whether or not you hit either way.
I yelled for them to get off their mounts, and 3-4 did. Too crowded for me, so I’m going back early tomorrow morning.
Q
Thanks for the advice guys, reforging gave me an extra 2k DPS!
What’s the longest time you’ve ever flown a taxi gryph? Right now I’m flying from Valiance Keep to Gundrak. 8 min and 10 sec…
Thanks’
Q
I think it’s close to 15min to fly Darnassus to Gadgetzan.
Time enough for me to go to the post office and pick up our mail!

+1 on wowreforge. In my main’s crap gear (ilvl 361, I think) I can hit approx 15-16kdps self-buff on a raid dummy because of the reforge recommendations from that site. I don’t know how closely the site follows the elitest of the elite recommendations, but I do know I have my hit rating pinned precisely to max with not one point wasted, and the prioritization seems to follow the current best MM huntard practice (that I know of).
Not being a raider, really, that’s as good as I can realistically hope for. The only downside is the 50-200 gold cost to shuffle reforges around on at least half my items every time I upgrade any item, but I think it’s worth it, and frankly, I don’t replace gear often enough for that to be an issue.
