World of Warcraft: Current Year

IMHO you should switch from Inn to Lumber Mill now just to farm GR and Barn orders unless you already have enough Treasure Hunters that you can get triple or quadruple gold from every mission. Spending 10 GR for a 100g mission is dumb, that's only 10:1 conversion and Barn rush orders are going to be worth double that.

Does anyone else have problems with frequent disconnects/lag spikes? Seems to be a common theme since 6.1. Sometimes I can go a couple hours without an issue, others like today I get disconnected like every 5-10 mins.

Check to make sure there is an exception in your firewall for wow. I've seen a lot of people have this problem after a patch.

That's crazy talk, does anyone have trouble capping GR currently ? Maybe after it goes live that might be a good idea, lumber mill is pretty high maintenance though.

I have trouble capping, but I just started a couple weeks ago, so that's expected. I should have built a lumber mill, instead of an Inn, because what, 2 new followers I could have gotten, I could have farmed so much more. About to demolish my level 2 Inn for a Lumber mill until I can cap level 3 Town hall. F me.

I can't say first hand since I got rid of my lumber mill early as soon as I got the achieves but I don't think it's nearly the chore it used to be. Lumber doesn't have a cap anymore. Combined with what I imagine is much less competition than the first couple of weeks and I'd guess you could stockpile quite a bit off one decent nagrand sweep.

The idea is, when you cap, buy barn rush orders to turn into felblood when 6.2 drops.

Thank you very much for the help! Per the above, would you say we are still in the early parts of the expansion? haha. From a pure making money perspective, would you double or triple up on Inscription/Enchanting? or go Enchanting/Tailor, Inscription/Alchemy, JC/Blacksmith, and spread the tradeskills out?

Can't really give you good advice there, depends on what you prefer and what your server's market looks like. I like them spread out myself because diversity; plus I hate change (don't want to re-skill for flavor of the year tradeskill).

RE: Felblood / Barn - I'm not going out there and competing over spawns. Sounds great in general, it's just not my thing. I hate gold or something. Plus it involves work.
I might get bored as fuck and backpedal on this though.

I cashed in all my alt's accumulated tradeskill crap for ~25k. Not going to log him on anymore. Hunter or bust for the rest of the ride.

So Mythic was a breeze for the first 5 but boy are we failing at Kromog pillars. I look at damage done to pillars, and the specs people are using, and wonder wtf they keep refusing to spec for that 15s burst-or-wipe mechanic. Using A Murder of Crows and saving my on-use trinket may put me down the list on the meters but I'm shitstomping on pillars, just like primal eles on blast furnace. Forget your fucking dps rank and save your shit for when it matters, ffs. (this rant sounds way better when it comes an Australian chick calling people shitcunts)

What's funny about the fight though is suddenly a roster full of hunters isn't a bad thing. If you can keep fox up for the duration, then your casters can do full damage and pillars are np. But we seem to be down to 2 hunters showing up and that means half our ranged literally can't do anything but dodge penises for a third of the phase. Great design there, Lou. An automatic wipe dps check with maximum movement, wat? And they are removing the only ability that makes the encounter possible, short of sitting all your casters.

But then this is why you have 25 mythic raiders for 20 slots. I'm annoyed that fun people who were good players couldn't see that.

I mean, all the benched melee need to get in at least one fight

It does drop the Caster sword

Well they had better pray our AWOL hunter shows up then. He was apparently their biggest dick-swinger but he wanted a break and I've only seen him once since I joined.

Hit 610 ilvl last night and completed the silver trial. Hit up my first heroics, and so the grind begins!! After 2 heroics only, I'm 614 iLvl and about to hit up the LFRs. I'm so glad the queue times are better for heroics. For WoD normals, I was waiting 30-40 minutes, but for heroics its about 10 minutes. Not bad for DPS.

I was paying tanks 100g per instance so I could avoid the queue times.

The whole movement thing is the most incredibly maddening aspect of the current iteration of WoW. The game is almost entirely about playing Twister with various types of benevolent and malevolent ground fire and yet they make several classes that are just anchored into place barring the use of highly limited cooldowns. Remember when they took away the Shaman ability to cast Lightning while moving? They claimed it was because so much movement capability was restricting their PVE game design and PVP balance, but that there would be less actual needed movement in this expansion. Fast forward half-a-year and everything from dungeons to raids to everything in between is littered with a veritable rainbow of overlapping ground effects and hot potato bombs.

Game mechanics which prevent players from actually taking actions are just dumb especially when such effects do not impact everyone equally.

Get your tank situation fixed yet!? I haven't logged on since Wed.

Fuck my garrisons. They are all rotting ghost towns.

Funny how things change. Since I'm new to come back, I'm sitting here at work, and can't wait to go home so I can get into my Garrisons!
