Troll raids are a meme. Need more dwarf content pls. I really hope they make that Grim Batol raid eventually.

More Gnome and Goblin content, wacky machines can make some really interesting raids.

Stating the obvious, but bear in mind dungeon dps varies wildly by how much your class can take advantage of endless ~5 mob AOE with little allowance for downtime. Unless you just gauge it by the boss encounters, where knowledge of mechanics will obviously be a factor at first.

So in most of the raid fights hunters are still the default for whatever shit duty involves running around like a chimp, despite our best dps now coming from minimizing movement. Not that this is unexpected - we do still do better dps with constant movement as Marks than we would as our other specs regardless. Which is dumb, but beats spec/gear swapping for whatever boss. I still bet that's where we'll wind up though, after a round of buffing here and nerfing there. Turret spec and bitch duty spec, yep.

The good thing about learning the bitch role though is you are very valuable for pugs. "I did an 11 1/2 minute Brackenspore kill as flamethrower bitch" looks good on the resume. "I leap into the out of range arcane balls and hardly drop a deeps!" "I felch Inquisitor nuts all night long!" "Yes, I can handle walking in and out every 15 seconds. No, we don't need to call it out."

Quote of the night: "People, you shouldn't get hit by tank bomb. DBM puts a range finder up for you." "But what about those of us without DBM?" "Stop being the guy without DBM"

Imperator. 20+ reps into it, still multiple people eating tank bombs and setting off mines. So yeah, I never got to see much past 25%, despite the steady (and miraculous) progress. I learned the fight for myself at least. Ditto Kronuts, didn't get a winning pug with him either.

Im glad im on the tank end of that fight, having to DPS and make sure you don't get knocked into mines from the adds exploding looks like a PITA. Then the first half you have the bonus of the tanks constantly exploding half of the room too while dodging and preempting knockbacks.

Knockbacks? Hah. They were just straight up walking into the things. Three, four in a row at times.

Of course, there were also people riding the knockback wave all the way to the wall. All it was missing was some groovy surfing tunes.

On normal, the damage from failing mechanics won't kill the guilty idiots - it will just bleed all of your healers OOM long before the fight is over, making victory impossible.

Managed the KBs as a dps isn't too bad, really that fight as a dps is stupid easy, except the brand mechanic (phase 3, haven't seen phase 4) and that's just 2-3 people.

Anyways, Kreugen, it's not just hunters. I have been a flamethrower bitch, butcher melee group mover bitch, falling balls koragh bitch and I'm a warlock Also do the stands on Kargath, but that doesn't hurt the deeps too much.

I still think the best retard check was Heigan's (I think) room.

No lines on the ground showing you where to move, man!

I re-subbed. Got to max level in 2 days. Got to 650 ilvl. Was a god in PVP. Raided high-maul. Canceled Subscription.

It was all so incredibly boring I do not know how you fedora-tippers play this game.

It is designed so anything with a pulse can reach end game content. My jimmies are not rustled, I am just trying to reach out and help you all.

There is no compelling lore. There are literally Harley-Davidson motorcycles everywhere. Where is the challenge? Where is the rush of danger? This game is for basement dwelling redditors.

Look out this thread just spawned a badass here guys

So badass he beat the raid on Mythic before it even released.

And we're still 6/7 in Highmaul. Teach me wise one

Im pretty happy you are still at 69 btw

@Flobee he probably watched a video of a 7/7 run, wait he only tanked 1/7 but saw 3/7. That shit was hilarious man, we gotta have him back as a surprise guest one of these weeks.

I wish I had a basement in my condo... need to store my bench and weights somewhere other than the living room... fk

1) for the most part yes, a lot of the solo content revolves around your garrison atm.
2) vendors are in warspear or whatever the alliance equivalent is. They should be located in the same building as the bank. (the laughing skull/alliance version is from the Trading Post in your garrison if you have it)
3) yes, these are also tied in with grinding those rep factions as well. They are for the most part just for the apexis dailies, which in turn will also trigger garrison invasions after you kill a lot of mobs.
4) 10k+, ideally you should be doing 10-17k depending on your class.

Thanks man. I thought for sure I must've been missing something. Guess not.

And 17k for heroics? Geez. I need a better class, hah.

wormie_sl said:

When i just hit ilvl 615, i was doing 9-10k tops in heroics. No one complained so i would aim for that.

Click to expand...

Yeah, I'm doing like 8-9k in normals right now, ilevel 610. Except on one boss on the train, which I've only done once, and I was the only one throwing bombs at the adds. My DPS was like 50k. I was also the only one hopping into the cannon. Again, on my first time through, heh.

I'm going to try to get a little more gear before doing silver grounds and queuing for heroics I think (already gotten the bronze weapon and all Nagrand rares / quests).

I'm a shadow priest, and I've always felt our AOE suffers. I can multidot, but shit dies so quick from everyone else I can't really get them all going. Mind Sear always seems weak unless it starts to get like 5-6 or more mobs - and as soon as one or two of those die, my DPS drops hard while I start dotting. Now if it's long living adds, then our DPS is awesome.

The new Clarity of Power playstyle is neat. Hard memory muscle to break though. Doesn't help for AOE packs obviously. Usually I try to dot them when it's 2 or 3 mobs, firing MB whenever I can, then when it's down to 1 or 2, do the single target CoP route and skip dots.

I actually just ran like 4 miles @ my gym in my place of work.
