Boss Armor
KARAZHAN Attumen the Huntsman: 41.5% -- 7500 Midnight: 43.5% -- 8200 Maiden of Virtue: 39.0% -- 6700 Julianne: 36.5% -- 6100 Romulo: 42.0% -- 7600 Strawman: 41.0% -- 7300 Roar: 31.0% -- 4700 The Curator: 36.5% -- 6100 Shade of Aran: 26.5% -- 3800 Kil'rek: 24.5% -- 3400 Terestian Illhoof: 39.0% -- 6700 Nightbane: 42.0% -- 7600 Netherspite: 34.0% -- 5500 Prince Malchezaar: 42.0% -- 7600 OUTDOOR Doomwalker: 42.0% -- 7600 SERPENTSHRINE CAVERN: Hydross the Unstable: 7700 The Lurker Below: 7700 Leotheras the Blind: 7700 Fathom-Lord Karathress 6200 Morogrim Tidewalker: 7700 Lady Vashj: 6200 TEMPEST KEEP: Void Reaver: 8800 High Astromancer Solarian: 6200 Al'ar: 7700 Kael'thas Sunstrider: 6200 HYJAL SUMMIT: Rage Winterchill: 6200 Anetheron: 6200 Kaz'rogal: 6200 Azgalor: 6200 Archimonde: 6200 BLACK TEMPLE: High Warlord Naj'entus: 7700 Supremus: 7700 Shade of Akama: 7700 Teron Gorefiend: 6200 Gurtogg Bloodboil: 7700 Reliquary of Souls: - Essence of Suffering: 0 - Essence of Desire: 7700 - Essence of Anger: 7700 Mother Shahraz: 6200 Illidari Council: - Gathios the Shatterer: 6200 Notice that all but 2 of the bosses have either 6200 or 7700 armor. A similar pattern occurs in the trash mobs: 5475/5700/5950 or 6800/7100/7400 for level 70/71/72 mobs. In terms of percentage reduction, these values result in either 34.15% or 39.15% armor reduction vs attackers of the same level as the mob. Armor reduction of a level 73 boss attacked by a level 70 player is 37% for 6200 armor, and 42.17% for 7700 armor. Sunder Armor x5 is -2600 armor, Faerie Fire is -610, and Curse of Recklessness is -800. For a boss with 6200/7700 armor, SA x5 gives a damage increase of 18.36%/16.61%. If we assume now that the boss has SA stacked x5 on it, adding just FF gives a further 4.5%/4.05% increase, CoR gives 5.99%/5.38%, and with both on they give 11.06%/9.9% increase over just SA. Armor Penetration is a bit more complex because it comes it varied amounts. If the boss has just SA x5 on it, then the effect of ArP is as follows: 100 ArP: 0.71%/0.64% 200 ArP: 1.43%/1.29% 300 ArP: 2.16%/1.95% 400 ArP: 2.91%/2.62% 500 ArP: 3.66%/3.3% For a fully debuffed boss (SA x5, FF, CoR) the increase from ArP is: 100 ArP: 0.79%/0.71% 200 ArP: 1.59%/1.42% 300 ArP: 2.41%/2.15% 400 ArP: 3.24%/2.89% 500 ArP: 4.08%/3.64%

Ventrilo Normalization
For those of you who are tired of the different volumes of everyone talking on vent you can use vent normalization to make everyones voice have about the same volume. In Vent: - Go to Setup - Enable Direct Sound - Select the SFX Button - Select Compressor and click Add. - Under Compressor Properties use the following settings - Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be. (I use about 10) - Attack = 0.01 - Release = Around 500 - Threshold = Around -30 - Ratio = 100 - Pre delay = 4.0 I found this on the WoW forums here http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=112471372&sid=1&pageNo=1 He suggests using a gain of 15, but I found that to be to loud.
