wtf is the catalyst for a BRF loot mission? My hunter's followers are all 660+ ilvl (half are 675) and nothing. My priest, who hasn't even been in LFR High Maul or left the garrison in over a month, got his today.

Retarded.

I got mine on all 4 characters within 12 hours of raising a few to 660... maybe bug or you have some sort of slotted mission that is preventing it from generating?

On each of my characters I received a BRF mission within 10 seconds of 2 followers being ilvl 675. I literally was able to move over to the tab and watch it pop up.

Same here. Main+2 alts got their BRF mission. I first raised 2 followers to 660, nothing even in the evening when coming back from work. Raised a third, mission popped 30s later. On the 2 alts, I pushed 3 followers to 660, and got the mission waiting on the main tab, or after closing/re-opening the mission table.

There might be some locking stuff, but I have no idea what it would be. None of the alts ever did an heroic dungeon, a LFR or anything except ding 100, improve garrison, and recruit followers.

Is your hunter 100 ? That's the only other requirement I know of other than two followers at 660+

Level 100, ilvl 661. 7 kills in normal BRF too. All followers at 660 ilvl or higher.

I gear leveled the followers I had on profession huts, but nothing.
I did LFR Slagworks last night figuring since he was missing that it may trigger something, but nothing.

Only thing I can think of is I fucked up the mission day 1 somehow because of add-on issues.

If you fail the mission, does Master Plan still show it as completed? I have HM missions @ 16 days and 2 days ago completed, but nothing for others.

Yeah I guess for an explanation you stop gaining exp on the neutral island around 15 or 20 or whatever. He levelled to 100 with herbalism/mining.............

Harrison Jones is really wearing out his welcome with this same quest every day shit.

Follower raids - did you server move at some point? My rogue seemed to be stuck as well. It seemed that when I hit 15 heroic kills all over again his immediately triggered.

So, I discovered on Oregorger that my pet can bug out and get stuck in "unable to path to target" so watch out for that. If you're a pet class, put it on follow any time you move so it won't stay there beating on a crate and get lost. (which defeats the whole advantage of using a pet to kill crates) I'll have to figure out if I'm better off just using survival (with haste gear, ugh) before the Mythic ball-bashing begins.

Other than that I actually like BM with all its randomness and ability to pool for on-demand burst. I never played it before so it feels fresh. Hell, I was top meter on Blackhand while responsible for kiting every siegemaker. I get to be a busy guy on that fight. It's a much more fun fight to bash heads against than the fucking Blast Furnace, that's for sure.

Speaking of lame fights... having to stand around waiting for the third boat phase on Maidens, c'mon man. You may as well have 6 or 7 healers because you can't speed up the fight.

I'll give them credit, they really ramped up the need to wisely use survival cooldowns in this tier - it feels like a new element to raiding even though they've always been around. There seems to be more ways than ever before to help out the raid beyond "apply dps, avoid fire." The multiple difficulties are working out much better than I had anticipated, with heroic certainly being more challenging than the old normal and the tougher fights definitely make you want to try to hit the 20 man target to have enough cooldowns to go around. 10 man heroic Blackhand? Ha ha. Good fucking luck.

Sir if you have the deeps you can push right past that 20% breakpoint and skip the 3rd boat.

We didn't bother with it last night. Did two boats then beat the shit out of the Admiral.

Not sure how that worked for you because for us the boat phase still happened. Must be a timing thing with the trigger because we pushed past 20 and he fucked off to the boat.

Taking any of the maidens under 20% takes the encounter to phase 2 and boats stop.

I'm guessing you guys barely missed the timer for the boat and they were moving to it as you hit 20%

We never get the third boat. You have to push admiral to 20 before the third boat triggers. You might've found a bug?

Edit: technically it can be any of the three, but since you want to kill admiral first, it just makes sense to bring her to twenty.

The mob definitely ran off after the phase started, not before. So there's a window there since it's time based.

If we hadn't tried to slow down to keep from pushing on accident we'd have easily plowed it, so good to know.

We've had the third boat trigger right as we got admiral to 20% once (was a wipe), but when we watched the DBM timer for it next pull, we lusted a little earlier and only had 2-3 seconds left when admiral hit 20%. No boat.

How are Paladin and Warrior tanks stacking up these days? I have both around 660, and can't decide which to focus on.
