    ugh the RBG pug experience is terrible. spend 20 minutes finding a group. group loses one time, leader disbands. awesome awesome

    you can't get invited to serious groups until you get roughly 10-15 wins worth of experience and even then it is a rough chance

    So I guess if you aren't paying attention and accidentally kill say.. Marrowgar on 10 man normal, you can change it to 25 man normal and then change it to heroic in the instance.

    Yeah, you can freely switch between 10m and 25m normal all you want but the second you pick heroic you're locked to that dungeon size. I learned that the hard way with Firelands farming where I accidentally locked it to 25m heroic back when I was 90 so I had to call in help to kill off Shannox.

    Fury is just swinging two wet noodles until you crit a Bloodthirst... if you go a minute without critting one, you might as well log off. It happened to me a lot last night ;(

    Apropos of nothing, back in Wrath i played my DK. I was frost in Ulduar and had something like 30%-35% crit buffed. We're trying to get hodir 25 hard mode down and during a failed attempt someone noted that my damage was crazy low for it.

    In 2 full minutes of fighting I managed to crit 3 times.

    Meanwhile, City of Heroes had a streakbreaker mechanic put in six years ago and everybody loved it.

    I think even Diablo 3 has a streakbreaker mechanic, yeah?

    What is your normal rotation? I keep finding both my VT and SW:P with like 3 or 4 seconds left after both insanity uses.

    The guide I linked earlier has the optimal rotation which I have on a post it by my monitor

    It's pretty hard to pull off, just remember to never delay mind blast, interrupt insanity ticks cleanly and put your dots up at 4 orbs

    Even the forums seem to be dead, which is kinda impressive.

    edit: isitdownrightnow seems to suggest that the login server has been down for about an hour, so I'm not sure what broke. Clearly something though.

    Maybe I do it wrong but DoTweaving is just "do MB + Mindspike until you get 5 shadow orbs and then just chain devouring plagues while your normal dots tick down" right?

    I don't mind it. I much prefer it to mind spike + mindblast only spam.

    Watching my new Bling beat up my Old Bling was as satisfying as I hoped.

    Learning that the quests share a cooldown was not. :(

    Edit: I now have 575 draenic stone sitting in my bank on my main and I have been keeping the work orders full, I don't think I've touched more than one or two nodes outside of the daily ones in the mine itself since I finished questing in Nagrand.

    I also have more than 800 True Iron Ore and 700 Blackrock Ore, despite sending multiple stacks (I want to say as many as 10 total) to other characters and friends.

    By contrast my Herbalist can maybe get 3-4 work orders set up each day by spending all the Draenic Seeds from the herb garden and maybe one or two more by doing a bit of herbing while questing, which I guess is the problem with making them also be a currency for a pet and some transmogs.

    Just seems really shitty that I have all this stone piling up and nothing more I can do with it, I guess I'll hang onto it in case they eventually change that.

    If you have a ton of ore doing nothing then I recommend building a trading post. It's a very productive way to ditch worthless ore and herbs to swap to garrison resources

    I traded 120 blackrock ore for something like 720 garrison resources

    and I still have a thousand blackrock left

    That's the traditional choice still. Protection/Gladiator is the new hotness though and is a little easier to get gud at. Extremely hard to kill with some burst and AOE potential

    Arms is really the battleground spec. You can deal probably more AOE damage than anyone, you can mortal strike, and you can execute for $texas, but the usual suspects will still melt you down.

    I have seen some Fury PVPers but I refuse to believe such nonsense is viable

    Well, I managed to work around getting stuck on 10 heroic and one shot everything up to the LK as Frost. Going to give it a whirl as Blood and see what happens.

    I maintain my suspicion that once friends do more levelling the demand for my precious minerals will rise dramatically.

    Somewhat like mountains.

    My current record is 120k in Arms

    I may have had the bloodlust powerup at the time though. It's routinely 60-90k depending on what I'm hitting and whether colossus is up

    I'm not aware of anything in Fury that empowers Execute moreso than Arms

    the thing that Fury gives you is some very very strong opening sustained DPS... if you crit your bloodthirst then you've got that bloodthirst, two offhand strikes, a wild strike or two, probably a free execute, and probably enough rage for two more offhand strikes

    with Arms its.. smash... mortal strike... wait.... another mortal strike... chase the guy around... another mortal strike... <giant font>EXECUUUUUUUUUTE</giant font>

    So, because we've gotten a few requests over the past couple weeks, I'm gonna go on record in regards to Shamblers, raids, and cross-realm shenannigans. If this seems super unfair to anyone, feel free to speak up.

    In Siege, when cross-realm and flex became a thing, we were no longer progressing as a guild. We had everything on farm, and it was mostly running for heirlooms and gearing alts, so there was very much a 'take all comers' mentality at work. This was ideal, because a new expansion was on the horizon, no one really needed the gear, and we were all doing it for kicks, or heirlooms, or whatever, so there was no reason not to just get as many people as possible in there.

    Now that we're progressing again, figuring out fights and wiping a lot, we're going to start tightening the belt a little bit when it comes to inviting people from other realms into our progression nights. When it comes to Cho'gall people, we'll continue to get as many people in the raid as we can handle with the dps/healer ratio, but cross-realm people looking to hop in will be handled on a night-by night, case-by-case basis. If those cross-realm people enjoy raiding with us, I would encourage them to think about hopping the fence and switching to our server.

    Naturally, as happened with Siege, as progression nights turn into farm nights, we'll loosen this up, but it just makes sense, at least while we're still learning the fights.

    Does this make sense?

    Shame that I ended up switching to Alliance this time around or I'd try to get in on that. Not that server switching would be an option anyway... 11 characters on the new home server will do that.

    Holiday hours continue tonight so I won't be home for raids until probably 9:30 server unless I can skip out early, which I am not confident about.

    As someone who has never raided or really done much of anything with most of you I don't really understand why you're making that change, or what difference it makes what realm people are on.

    I have no real investment here, I'm just genuinely curious about it.

  • PiptheFairPiptheFair Frequently not in boats. Registered User regular
    we want people in the guild to get gear because there is an obvious commitment from them

    whereas, off-realm people that raid should still have a shot at gear, but if it goes to them, there is no real commitment to the guild

    it's easier and more fair to say "only guild members can raid" than "only guild members can roll"

  • JavenJaven Registered User regular
    Like I said, it'll be handled on a case-by-case basis. If we're already running with 6 leather dps and another rogue from off-server wants to join, well, that's tough. But if all of our tanks are monks and DKs and a prot warrior or paladin wants, in? Well, that's less of an issue

    The reason is the large consensus to stick with master looter. Personal loot would be a different story, but the vast majority of raiding shamblers prefer master loot, so that's what we'll be sticking with until popular opinion changes

  • beavotronbeavotron Registered User regular
    i have to do some last minute things to pack for a 7:30 am flight so if i'm in it'll be late and not for long. sorry shamblers. my raid availability will be good in the new year.

    at least until the game i'm on at work hits its crunch period. then i will fall off the face of the earth for a few months and emerge blinking and confused on the other side.

    project crunch is my real life mirren port to dalaran.

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    I'm one of the people that had hopped in cross-realm at the end of Siege, figured it would be fun to raid with folks from here. I specifically hadn't asked about raiding this xpac cross-realm because I figured this might be sort of an issue. I'm curious though, why not do personal loot if the composition is one of the major factors?
