I kinda like the followers and everything but I don't really dig having a space better than the capital city isolated to myself

His ring is actually still an upgrade because it's the first one with useful secondaries. And he has a mount too, so we'll be killing him for the rest of the expansion, yay!
It's better than heroic signet and both heroic and mythic hookring, but mythic signet wins due to the agi gained from ilvl. And I wouldn't sweat it too much, since either of the BRF rings are superior to Rukhmar's. Guess it's worth going out to deal with the lagfest though, since I only have a heroic hookring right now.

He drops a flying mount ... In the no flying expansion ....
A flying mount that is just a reskinned druid flight form... /yawn.

When I do a world boss and forget to use the "use raid settings" hotkey, oh lawd the lag. Prior to that setting I just didn't bother turning anything up.

I'm pretty sure it is bloodlust specifically that does it, too. "Hey I can move again.. 5 seconds left on lust!"

EDIT: Nevermind on that set bonus spreadsheet, last updated 1/13.. run your own sims.

I went to some random backwater server, only people around were the 40ish in the actual raid, so it wasn't particularly bad even without dropping it down from Ultra.

To my complete lack of surprise I got the usual 42 gold from killing it. Not about to waste a bonus roll on loot that's inferior to even BRF normal, oh well.

Edit: NM, linked the wrong sims. Said fuck it and just ran them myself, but I'm too lazy to make it all pretty in a single graphic.

TotH/FS = 37689
TotH/LW = 37346

Single target, patchwerk, 360-440, BIS T17H gear with 4pc. TotH always, because SF is really only good on paper.

That's like ... 1 fight.

Bump it up to 2 target, still patchwerk (because simc's movement simulation is retarded), 360-440 and you get:

TotH/FS = 44855
TotH/LW = 41309

Now same shit, 4 targets:

TotH/FS = 65475
TotH/LW = 56062

And that's why I don't use LW. You get focus-starved in any AE situation and it just plays like ass imo.

Did 4 target BM as well to see how beast cleave was holding up in BRF:
SF/Adapt = 60470

... NOPE.

I actually find it advantageous that Unholy's Tier bonuses are absolute fucking dreck. It means I can just get Multistrike in erry slot while we funnel the tier pieces to people with impactful bonuses.

Unholy 2pc is strong in 6.1. For some reason they can't or won't hotfix it though. 4pc is shit, but 4pc+non-set gloves is still BiS by a small margin.

That said, I'd feel like a dick if I rolled against classes that actually have decent bonuses. Take the 2pc (legs+chest) and worry about the rest in a month or two.

P.S. Mastery is top stat in 6.1, plan accordingly.

Looking at the premade group finder makes me sad. Most of them are "Fresh BRF ... KNOW FIGHTS!!" or "Make sure you've watched vids!!" Absolutely no interest in learning new content, merely regurgitating the choreography they find on YouTube.

Uhm, what? You want to do fresh progression on unknown content in a pug? Fuck that noise.

Are you planning on taking the account? Paying 25 to faction swap would be the easiest way I guess. 1-100 takes maybe 2-3 days played.

Yeah im taking the account over he just wasted my boost but he paid for the expansion and hes gonna pay my sub, I kinda wanted to get on hyjal because he also put it on a shit server cenarius, that was my original server in vanilla with afterlife but that server is garbage.

1-100 3 days played not bad, but godamn that's just a lot of bear asses and quests, I just kinda wanted to hit 100 asap and raid ;x

It's only the one 25 fee to faction and server swap. 90 is a good time to do it because garrison achievements and followers get fucked up if you do it after you have them.
