World of Warcraft: Current Year

I wouldn't care if you told me all that. You said you really wanna raid 10 man content. It's available.

Khane is right, you're an idiot. Sure, you can raid a neutered version of ten man content that isn't the actual full boss fight!

You aren't doing the content you want to really do but I'm the idiot....

These warfronts are so fucking op. Theyre so easy and the gear you get is all 340+ with a 370+ from quest.
Good thing i didnt no life it running mythics and such since i can get all the gear now within a day

Well at least somebody around here appreciates getting fucked in the ass by Ion.

You get 10 sanguicell per kill in Heroic, and presumably even more than that in Mythic. You also get the Sanguicell back when you scrap the items.

How is getting a warfront piece any different than getting a mythic chest and completing the quest on LFR for mythic loot? It's even on a 2 week lockout. Also it isn't mythic ilvl.

You can give literally everyone in this game 385 gear for free, more than half of them are still going to be retards and unable to kill heroic entry bosses.

Sweet mythic level gear from doing a fucking quest. So glad I am sitting on 340 items from Mythic+ . While I am glad for the people getting gear the level of fuck you to any item progression is going to kill this game. It’s one thing to add welfare epics and catch up shit for the fucking failures who play and LFR freebie loot for the fucking cesspool pieces of shit who plague this game but it’s another thing entirely to just hand out Heroic Raid + level gear to any assclown who can collect 10 bear assholes. Also while they are handing out OP weapons to trash faggots if you wanted to craft something you can get fucked at 1 BOP crafting item per boss kill with a required number of 250 total for a BOP item. Someone needs to Allah Akbar Ion with a delivery truck.

As a casual derp that primarily benefited from these catch up mechanics it really hurt my enjoyment of the expansion thus far to have my meager progress all negated. I was proud of what I had scraped together, the dailies I had ran for the rep to buy 335 gear, and the crawl up from normal to heroic in preparation for mythic and for raiding. Then with Arathi and especially now with these Warfronts it's all irrelevant. I could have done anything else with my time and then been decked out after an evening of Warfronts, the associated quest, and a world boss. This is more of what I expect from the end of an expansion rather than the beginning of one.

What the hell kind of luck are you nerds having that you got "decked out in 340+ gear after an evening of Warfronts"? You can only kill those bosses once per week and you may not get a single piece of gear off any of them. I got 1 piece on my main. Meanwhile M+5 drops 355 gear base and is repeatable ad infinitum. And what "poopsocking" was occurring to gear up before that? Running your 10 mythics once per week? You call that poopsocking?

Oh how this forum has fallen. Where's Noodle with the navy seal rant?

War Kodo is the real hotness in the warfront. Take Newstead, get like 80-100 iron and get to ride a kodo with a horn gore attack that throws enemies, a trample rush, and an AE haste buff for nearby people. All the while you have two orcs beating on drums while you ride. Tight as fuck.

I was chosen. I should go to the Altar of Storms.

Then do 26k+ sustained dps and that's counting only me and not the overall increase the buff gives EVERYTHING nearby. kek

I did three Warfronts today, in total they took less than an hour, it was three pieces of 340 loot plus a 370 from the quest. My Arathi clear was three other pieces of 340. The one world boss I did also paid out.

You know you can do M+ for better gear than that right? I'm not entirely sure the point you're trying to make about the warfronts dropping the same ilvl gear as M0.

I really hate the AP system. I've been away since Thursday and my 18.5 necklace feels crazy behind everyone. It already was anyways.

The azerite traits are way, way more interesting than sets are. The Azerite Power system is dumb as shit though.

Yeah you can have the dagger-based damage trait, the thunder-based damage trait, or the shadow-based damage trait. Oh yeah, there are a bunch of class specific traits as well, but those all suck dog shit.

The spec specific traits are outrageously good for Aff Warlocks. Demo and Destro have good ones as well. I know plenty of other classes/specs where that is the case too. Sorry it's not interesting for the spec you're playing? Those are all single target traits with absolutely no benefit other than strait ST damage. I'd be surprised if all your spec specific traits actually were dogshit.

Demonology's sure are in general, to say nothing of the oddity with the Excoriate trait being on literally one piece of gear that doesn't drop in a dungeon or raid. But don't take my word for it, let's look at some of the not good ones!

- Forbidden Knowledge -- As much as I think it's interesting, because it changes how you play the spec a little, having to hardcast a 4s spell to get 5-digit damage isn't practical, and that's assuming you don't have Demonic Core stacks competing with the buff which is the major problem with the trait. I'd rather they just make this trait a flat passive effect instead of a 30% chance when you cast Call Dreadstalkers. The double restriction (no Demonic Core procs and the 30% chance of the trait activating) make it impractical. If it was a flat passive effect where you choose when to hardcast it, that would make it a lot more viable, but probably still not enough unless they bumped the trait's damage by another 50% (which would be hilarious burst damage but bad for PVP).

- Implosion -- 264 Haste for 6 seconds (2-3 GCD's) if I implode 3 or more imps. That's a whole 4% haste for 6 seconds, give or take! Yay! Not going to belabor this one.

- Superior Commander -- Get a stack of Demonic Core and 500ish Intellect for 15s after the Tyrant expires. (Every 90s, in other words, so it's kind of a trinket proc.) This isn't really something to write home about, considering that the generic trait outperforms this. The Demonic Core stack is borderline negligible since the ideal use of Tyrant is while you have a Dreadstalker out, so you're going to be getting 2-4 (depending on Dreadstalker cooldown alignment) as it is, rendering this effect questionable. Honestly, I'd rather it be something like "When your Demonic Tyrant fades, your Hand of Gul'dan consumes no Soul Shards for 8s." (The duration would be the stacking value.)

Can you afk thru the entire m+ and run them nonstop though?
