wow what to do at 110 -edge review
EDGE is
the newest product release from man view, the team behind BOOSTER and TYCOON.
Where the latter two add-ons exist to address more specific needs leveling,
making gold, this one wow what to do at110 is touted as actually being usable by any WOW player.
With 11
million subscribers, that’s pretty large bill to serve. So does EDGE live up to
the hype? I got my hand on a copy to see for myself.
First
impression: EDGE is pretty simple to figure out. It’s actually more streamline
than TYCOON and BOOSTER, so if you had any problems with those product and
manna core if you don’t have than you just run the man view updater to check
for any updates, then fire up world of war craft.
Since
EDGE is supposed to work for any class and any purpose, I decided to use it on
my level 61 warren druid I haven’t touched since finishing the new quests from
1-60. The thoughts of questing through
hellfire peninsula again makes me a little sick, so I wanted a way to level
through the random dungeon finder as a tank.
Keep in
mind I would never tanked before; hadn’t even thought of a bear spec, since
mine was just full-on cat for leveling. But after logging in my worgen I
clicked the EDGE button on man core frame, selected leveling as my purpose, and
took a look through the options it gave me.
Much to
my surprise, there was a feral bear dungeon leveling spec, so I selected that
and decided to trust it on auto-spec. after I had that all sorted out, it told
me the best glyphs to get since I couldn’t get all of them that would help me
most while tanking dungeons of my level.
It also
gave me a strategy for tanking singles and multiples. I took a few notes, but I
know I would forget later. Before queuing for a dungeon, I took a look through
edge and found the spec for raiding bears.
It
looked different than my leveling spec, and I wanted to know why this was.
Common sense of course says top level bears need different stuff, but I wanted
a conclusive answer, and I also wanted to test the support for this product.
I sent
off an email to support@manview.com and queued for my first dungeon. Following
the advice in the EDGE strategy, I was able to hold agro decently. At first I
thought I was just doing terrible because one of the death knights would have I
all the time, but I looked over and saw he was in blood presence, so I can’t
blame the add-on for that.
I also
can’t blame it for the lumps I took while learning, and the bit of time I used
to re- reference the strategy pane. All in all, my dungeon was successful and
thanks to my rested XP I made about half a level from one 20 minute dungeon
run. Not too shabby.
I ran a
few more, and right after hitting 62 I checked my email, just in case someone
from manna view had already responded to me:
Hi
there,
First
of all, thanks for trying out EDGE! Your question about the bear dungeon spec
was forwarded to me, as I helped design the spec you are currently using. I
raid as a bear and I have also leveled two bears via the RDF.
Back
when I was looking for specs for my first bear, all anyone had was just a
makeshift cat spec, or a high-end bear spec. neither of those work very well for tanking dungeons. For quick
comparisons sake, here is the spec that’s in EDGE for dungeon leveling bears:
And
here is the bear raiding spec:
There
are a lot of similarities, but the key difference is trading out some
survivability for more damage, which in turn means more threat. This is the
biggest problem bears face while leveling up. Every healer can keep you alive
with their eyes closed, but competing with heirloom- geared DPS for threat is
incredibly frustrating.
So the
dungeon leveling bear gets full king of the jungle for a damage boost on
enrage, which you should be using on cool down like the strategy say. You also
get primal madness to help with the issue of being rage starved at lower
levels.
What
you lose is perseverance- a must have talent for raiding bears- and I point
from infected wounds. Both of those help keep you alive, but again: you don’t
have much trouble with that while leveling through dungeons, especially if you
have got heirlooms.
I hope
that helps answer your question. Let me know how the leveling goes! I expected
some canned response and maybe at it this way because it is, but I ended up
getting a detailed explanation of not only the differences between the specs,
but why they exist. Needless to say, I was pretty happy with that answer and it
helped make my EDGE experience a very positive one.
Let’s
get down to the nifty gritty here, through.
Interface
4.5/5. The interface is sleek and clean. It’s simple, and that’s probably a
good thing. There are only a few things for me to check before I get my spec,
and it’s all really easy to understand what does what. My only qualm with this
would be that I would like a way to maybe detach the strategy pane so I can
reference it without having to view everything else.
Feature
5/5. The EDGE lists the add-on as a talent, glyph, and rotation manager. I
would say it definitely lives up to that. The talented comes in two flavors-
auto and manual- so you can pick and choose as you like.
The
glyph choices aren’t explained, but they seem pretty obvious in most cases.
And- at least from my experience- the rotations and strategies given are solid.
Customer
support5/5. Not only did they get back to me the same day I asked my question,
but they answered it thoroughly. Even just dealing with this one person has
given me hope that they really do have experts working on these products. No
complaints from me here.
Value5/5.
This is always the tricky one, because what I consider good value may not be
what you consider good value. But frankly…EDGE is a great value. Less than $40
and I have got an all- access pass to every class and every spec in the game,
for life.
Overall
4.5/5. I definitely think EDGE was worth what I paid for it, and I haven’t been
explored all its uses. I was pretty skeptical about anybody being able to use
this product, but I have learned a wowwhat to do at 110 ton already. Like I said, my only downgrade was just for
a feature I wish it had. Over all I am pretty impressed.
