World-of-warcraft – How to recognize that Crippling Suplex is coming when fighting Hans and Franz

world of warcraft

I got one shotted by Hans'gar and Franzok HC today multiple times, because I could not recognize when they actually do Crippling Suplex. The cast bar is showing up once they already grabbed you or the other tank. In case of the other tank, I can use Divine Protection or other defensive cooldowns, but both need to do that, before being grabbed.

I do use Deadly Boss Mods, but the warning there is unreliable and often too early, resulting in Divine Protection running out before I actually was hit by the damage. For what it is worth, I have ~440k Life buffed, a GS of 677 and I am a Protection Paladin.

This guide on icy-veins is inconclusive about that, unfortunately.

Crippling Suplex with you being picked up always comes when your boss leaves the combat area to active the searing plates or stamps. That is your cue to use a cooldown.

World-of-warcraft – How does one’s fishing level relate to what one catches and when one catches it

What used to be the minimum required skill to fish in any given area is now the minimum required skill to not catch any junk. Once you meet or exceed this minimum for a zone, whether natively, or through the use of equipment, buffs and consumables, you will no longer catch ANY junk. If you are below this skill level, the chance of catching junk is proportional to just how far below it you are. The further below the threshold, the more junk you'll catch.

The exact formula for the chance of catching a fish when your skill is below the threshold is ((current skill/threshold skill)^2).

For example, the Dalaran Fountain has a no-junk skill of 525. As we can see in @GreatBigFish's answer, this junk threshold is above the (unbuffed) WOTLK maximum skill of 450. Fishing at max skill in Dalaran with no lure would yield a 'fish' roughly 73% of the time. The other 27% of the time, you will catch one of the 13 'junk' items found around the world, all of which vendor for mere copper. To never catch junk in Dalaran, you'd need to use a +75 lure or better at 450 skill.

There is one notable exception to this rule: You will never catch junk in a pool. Fishing from pools gives a 100% catch rate on whatever type of fish spawns in that pool. This has caused many to claim that actively leveling fishing skill is now pointless because it provides little practical benefit - fishing from pools is always more efficient anyway.

For more information, El's Anglin' provides a tremendous resource on the subject of fishing.

World-of-warcraft – How to write a macro in WoW that depends on the spec

You can indeed do several things depending on your spec. To achieve your example goal, try the below. This uses a combination of macro conditionals and Lua scripting.

/script if (GetActiveTalentGroup()==1) then SetRaidTarget("target", 8); end;
/assist [spec:2]

What this says is, if I'm in spec 1, then set raid target 8 (skull). Then, assist my target, if I am in spec 2.

See Macro Conditionals for full documentation on the conditional statements you can use.
