A few weeks ago, I got into an argument with a longtime twinker about how much misinformation and ignorance continues to plague players. To prove a point, I made the following quiz. It's completely unscientific, rife with sarcasm, and very misleading. In short, it's perfect to prove a point in the interweb!



For every "yes", you lose a point. For every "no", you get to keep the point. The guy with whom I spoke thinks that many twinkers won't score very high. But I think we'll see lots of high scores! See how many points you manage to keep.



After you take this quiz, you may be inspired to show off your knowledge with a followup post. Let's hold off on those posts for a week or two and see how many scores we can collect. Until then, we can talk about how ridiculous it is that I actually made this quiz in the first place.



Here we go -- good luck!



1. Do you think you can hit a player with a direct spell or attack, without targeting the player? Flush a point.

2. Do you believe a Tauren warrior may actually need more than 5% hit rating to reach cap vs. a same level foe? One point gone.

3. Do you think haste adds to DoTs and HotS only when you stack certain interval amounts? Lose a point.

4. Do you consider "equivalent health", and choose damage mitigation stats over stamina? Minus one point.

5. Do you consider which levels in a bracket suffer from secondary stat degradation? Lose a point.

6. Do you use a non-default binding for "Interact with Mouseover"? If so, goodbye, point.

7. Do you ever look for passive alterations to the success rate for binary spells? Chuck a point away.

8. Do you think other gear besides weapons can gain buffs from consumables applied? Minus one point.

9. Do you believe you can actually use more than two weapon buffs while in combat? Seeya later, point.

10. Do you think you can really do more than two attacks or spells within a global cooldown? Yoink a point.



So how many points did you keep?
 
I didn't get any points

I expect a lot of people to lie though so I doubt this comes out accurate.
 
True, but the scores cover the full range of distribution, which will work nicely for the purposes of this poll. We're almost ready for discussion of the questions themselves.
 
ok, maybe my noob is showing, but...



1. i can't mousover fear without detargeting anymore? haven't played my lock in a while...

4. what? is this regarding just armor/avoidance as in tanking or including resil?

7. que?

9. thrown weapon poison! =)

10. rune strike used to be off the gcd, is nothing anymore?
 
A week is long enough. Thank you all for holding off on discussing much in the way of answers until we gathered a bunch of votes. As of right now, the votes make a nice bell curve from 10-1, favoring the high side a bit. So the average poll taker is scoring about 5/10 on this admittedly misleading poll (and as Rivfader pointed out, I forgot to state that we start with 10 points).



Notice we have a spike of players who scored a zero. That's reassuring, as zero is the score you really want in this poll. The right answer for every question is "yes"!



So now, tell us why the answer to each question should be "yes"!

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]1. What about @target, @ targets target, @focus macros?[/font]

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]2. Nelfs...[/font]

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]3. They only add to the total amount healed/dealt when they get big enough for a new tick, but with any increase of haste the DPS increases. [/font]

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]4. Yes, mitigation stats are the bees knees as long as you have enough stamina to survive burst[/font]

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]5. Not that I've ever played a bracket where it was an issue, but in 10-14s the 10s get much better scaling of secondary stats compared to 14s whereas 14s get more abilities and taents. Definitely worth considering[/font]

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]6. Default bindings are smexy![/font]

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]7. You mean do i gear for hit and penetration? Of course I do![/font]

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]8. Surely Scroll of Enchant Cloak Minor Whatever counts as a consumable...[/font]

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]9. Cripple on MH and deadly on OH? [/font]

[font=trajan, tahoma, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]10. Heroic Strike + Melee swing + Mortal Strike + Magic Candle + various off GCD cooldowns you can blow. Pwn'd n00b.[/font]
 
Cool test, wasn't too hard even though most questions didn't relate to twinking. Scored a 0.
 
#6 Scroll clicking ftw.

#8 Runes of Warding

#9 OMG EXECUTIONER PROCCED ON MY ENCHANTED AZSHARITE FELBANE DAGGER (time to switch!)
 
I thought 9 was fairly obvious, but then again, I play a Rogue.



You can poison throwing knives, ergo you can crip Main, insta Off, and whichever of the two (Likely crippling, or even Deadly if you qualify for it) on your Throwing knifes.



Makes it easier to kill hunters who try to CS and run away.
