Fixing X-Perl 3.0.3c r299 Player Buff/Debuff Problem

If you’ve installed X-Perl UnitFrames 3.0.3c r299, you’ll notice you get an error message when you mouse over your buffs or debuffs. To fix this problem, modify the code in XPerl_PlayerBuffs/XPerl_PlayerBuffs.lua on lines 381 and 391 as shown at http://binarymuse.pastebin.com/pastebin.php?diff=f76a70239 (you’ll want to change the text on the red lines to the text on the blue lines, replacing “self.partyid” with “player” in quotes).

From http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=79546.0:

On a non related sidenote, I would also like to point out that the old Emerald Dream maps that have been in the game files for years have been slightly updated throughout the 3.2, and in the Build 10072 of the PTRs the Map.dbc file with some of the settings for each zone was updated to make it a 40 Players max zone.

Take it for what it’s worth, folks.

Baby Healer Dings 80

Well, this past Saturday, my baby priest, Allianya, dinged 80. (This is the same priest that I dualboxed to 60 with my paladin earlier.) Her tailoring isn’t as high as I would like quite yet, but I’m working on it. I was very leery on jumping into heroics right away, but I got a spot as DPS and did okay–pulled about 1400 DPS in heroic VH. Got a few good drops, including Azure Cloth Bindings from H VH.

The following day, I started healing heroics. I felt like I could heal H VH, and it went quite well. The group I was in decided to run CoS and asked if I could heal–I said I’d be willing to try. Somewhere along the line, the group decided to try for a drake run–I was pretty skeptical, as my gear isn’t super great–a few iLvl 200 blues, a couple crafted epics, and a bunch of 187 and lower blues–even a couple green quest rewards! But, they said “hey, let’s give it a shot and see what happens.” Not long after, and The Culling of Time is ours! No drake for me, which is fine, as Allianya can’t even fly yet! After H CoS I healed H UP and it went well also.

Yesterday included such excitement as DPSing H DTK (and I pushed just over 2000, which I was very happy with, and included Oh Novos!), and then healed H HoL (with Lightning Struck and Shatter Resistant) and a Defenseless H VH (not a big deal, I know) and an H UK (with On the Rocks).

Overall, I’m really enjoying healing, especially as Disc. The playstyle has really clicked with me and I’m having a lot of fun, and the successful runs have helped instill a little confidence, so I’m not terrified to go looking for a heroic to heal! I look forward to working on my gear pretty heavily in the near future and getting raid-ready!
