    I'm pretty sure it's a filler stat because after removing hit and expertise there wasn't enough left.

    Versatility seems like the kind of stat that will either be crap or have everyone fighting to stack more of it. A "do everything better" stat is extremely hard to balance.

    Can you do garrison invasions xserver?

    I got the iron horde one on my pally, and I'd really like to get gold, if anyone wants to do it with me.

    Unless they've fixed it I'm pretty sure it's near impossible to get gold with an Iron Horde invasion

    I remember thinking if that reaver was from the store it'd be my first and probably only mount purchase and the pet was cute and helped out a pressing world concern. Win Win.

    It'd be nice if blizzard did that kind of thing more often, and other game company's did it at all.

    I'm confused as to why Versatility AND Mastery exist.

    The whole point of Mastery was that it does something useful for every class/spec.

    Versatility just seems like a weak copy.

    Versatility seems like it was intended to be a hybrid stat. A well played feral druid, for example, will be bombing the main tank (or whomever else needs it) with Healing Touch every finisher to activate blood talons. I think that's the kind of play Blizzard was aiming towards with the stat.

    Which is all well and good, but it doesn't have enough umph to entice anyone to stack it.

    I usually just heal myself, since after the patch Healers needed to focus a bit more on the tank anyway.

    It's not often but most of the pets I've bought from the store have been through a similar situation. Money going to charity.

    Man, so close to completing [Stay Awhile and Listen] for the level 3 Inn. Down to three quests to go: Shadowy Secrets, The Cure for Death, and Damsels and Dragons.

    Does anyone have any good suggestions for bar mods? I don't want a full replacement, I just want to move the two right vertical bars so they're horizontal above the other bars. I'm currently using ctMod to do that but it's having problems managing entering vehicles during combat, so I'd like to investigate any other options out there.

    So because people have been talking about good pets to level up, and I believe even mentioned the combo, let's talk about the Howl Bomb.

    The Howl Bomb is a combo especially useful for powerful single pets (Legendary Beasts, etc...), and it consists of the following pattern of moves.
    Curse of Doom (Unborn Val'kyr/Lofty Libram/Lost of Lorderon/Creepy Crate/etc...)

    Then swap (preferably, the pet dies this turn and you auto-swap) and cast...

    Geyser, then Whirlpool (Pandaran Water Spirit)

    Then swap and cast...

    Howl (Chrominius/etc...)

    The Pandaran Water Spirit is the only one with both of those big hitting 'delay' moves, so you need one of those for the biggest hit. Technically any pet with Howl will work, but Chrominius is preferred because he can use Surge of Power after Howl if for some reason the enemy isn't dead when all three of those moves hit during the howl debuff.

    This combo can pretty much take out any Legendary opponent, including some of the Celestials.

    With Ghaz'rooki you can't geyser than whirlpool they are both in the same ability.

    Helped out a guildmate with an Iron Horde invasion tonight. We got 951 points. As we were nearing the end, I briefly thought they might have fixed things. Oh well.

    So I bought the Grinning Reaver+Space Goat combo pack at like 6pm and my order status still says "queued" is this normal?

    It's never happened with a digital purchase from them before.

    It's not our card we have on file, the boyfriend bought a race change for a character later in the evening and it went through just fine.

    It's just hilariously silly whenever you split him in to motes. It goes from an organised movement into every man for himself for like 3 minutes while there's 5 sets of abilities going off. That achievement is going to be absolutely fucking bonkers.

    Tortos disagrees. I had to do the stupid turtle kicking every week on that stupid fucking turtle, because apparently everyone else in my guild is incapable.

    Good lord was the siegeworks the wrong choice in Nagrand.

    Stables on every other character it is!

    If I weren't like 5 quests from finishing the zone I'd be tempted to pay the 10k to swap on my pally...shit, I still might just for steamwheedle farming. :rotate:

    Is anyone else suddenly getting a LOT more follower boosts from their War Mill/Bunker, or am I just on a hot streak today? I've gotten like 4 in a row.

    You're just on a hot streak.
    Today I got 1 green weapon upgrade and the rest was scrap.

  • The Dude With HerpesThe Dude With Herpes Lehi, UTRegistered User regular
    Hmmm...lets see...treasure maps that require completing a zone before you can buy them, and a bunch of various mods that just put everything on your maps for you without needing to buy the maps.

    What's a good solution?

    Oh, I know, lets make those maps soulbound instead of mailable to alts like they were a few days ago!

    Brilliant!

    Holy damn shit.

    They removed the spirit from the new crystal of insanity as an extra fuck you as well

    Hell, in one of the dev blogs they even talked about changing base values and/or scaling in each raid patch to make sure we stay just as weak for the whole expansion.

    Me and my two buddies did it fine, once we ditched the idea of needing a tank/healer. Also, the 'host' needs to ask their beefiest follower to come with them to fight, and whoever can bring a bodyguard should.

    Is it just me or is there a severe lack of follower weapon upgrades vs armor? Most of my level 100 guys are running around in 630+ armor but 615 weapons MAX.
    And most of these came from missions.

    Funny, for me it was completely the opposite. RNG will RNG.

    Goddamnit got a few hours left to launch a legendary mission. Need some armor upgrade items or I'm fucked.

    In other news, got some socketed 630 trinkets.

    Tectus didn't give us any trouble.

    We just had the raid stack and move left for big rocks and the people with barrage went right.

    Motes just made that process go faster.

    it's worth mentioning that against 99% of enemies you don't actually need the ascension/curse of doom in there; the water spirit and chrominus on his own will take out pretty much anything you want to use this for.

    That's not how you spell "Instructor Raz in Naxx40."

    Because whoever thought "hey, let's require you to tank a boss using a completely unreliable MC spell, and give the boss a LOS mana burn that'll probably kill everyone that uses it if you are a pixel out of place when it triggers" should be shot into the sun for our own sake.

    I did some more follower mission math. Looking at the garbage gold missions. It looks like they just didn't bother balancing the reward of level 100 missions. Sub 100 you get can get solidly better gold (like maybe 5 times) on a follower/time basis. Still not good, but At 100, the gold gets a little better and the missions take three times as long. So unless you are out of other missions, the opportunity cost is trash. At 100 you are getting 4-10g per resource spent (usually 7.5 if it's not a Treasure mission), I'm sure you get a better return from the Trading Post.
