He will post about T6 badge gear that people will call mythical until recent events prove otherwise?

You have no idea what you're even talking about.
Now the thread is broken and will sink to the bottom of the forums so I don't have to wonder why no one is actually reading the information it contains.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I'm pretty uncertain about the effect HOT's have when there's so much spike damage going round, anyone with any experience?

Throw HoTs, switch to travel form, kite. When HoTs expire, or you get rooted, shift out and back in. As soon as they stop focusing on you, switch to caster form and throw heals on anyone else being attacked. repeat.

Druid PvP healing is pretty easy mode. I have both a Druid and a Shaman (though, admittedly, the Shaman is bit low on stamina and resilience). You almost never have to stop to cast and as such can't be interrupted, Swiftmend is great for healing up those nasty spikes and unless you've got several MS Warriors or Rogues on you, you're almost unstoppable. Shaman healing, I find, is more fun, but it's much easier to keep you from throwing out those heals in the first place.
So what do I have to look forward to (read: not look forward to) in BT trash?
Any pack with a big guy and a bunch of little guys is AoE tankable. Some of the mobs have shadowstep. The dogs, like all wow dogs are the spawn of Wally West and a pitbull.

BT trash isn't bad. There's just a lot of it. Hardest pulls are the big pack before najentus (which has 2 generals that unsheep the 3 casters, gets annoying), and right after najentus, with about 12 of the poison buggers. Otherwise, najentus trash is not so bad, just chain sheeping, a banish here and there, and some chain heals for AoE damage.
Supremus trash is very easy, in fact last week we survived an initial triple pull, that thanks to fearing into a quintiple pull over time. (Full t6 though, results may vary, 12 did end up dead and rewalked). Akama trash is kinda annoying, with random charging dogs and lots of rains of fire, but nothing horrible. Teron trash is just cake, as long you don't pull to many packs at the same time. Bloodboil trash is hilarious because it instakills slackers, but is completely harmless to most others. RoS only has 2mins of trash, although dealing with it is sort of part of the boss fight. Mother trash is AoE central, with some nice abilities overall, Council trash will have some deaths from the robots no doubt, and the bubbling paladins are annoying. Illidan has no trash.

Hmmm. The Undead Lords should be doing Sunwell when 2.4 rolls around right?
...How many engineers do you guys have, specifically hunter engineers?
We only have 3 raiding hunters. I don't know offhand how many of them are engineers.
@BT Trash: Thank god it's pretty much AOE pulls. I was really, really, really sick of SSC/TK style trash, and maybe the luster will wear off but I find myself enjoying the Hyjal trash. It sucks if you wipe on the boss because you need to clear it all again, but the trash pulls are relatively entertaining and require some coordination, it's almost like a boss in itself. I also enjoy it because as a paladin i can do something other than spam FoL (gogo turn undead/holy wrath)

Actually, the amount of AoEable trash varies from boss to boss. Naj'entus doesn't really have any, Supremus has quite a bit, Akama doesn't have any, Gorefiend has some, not sure about Bloodboil or beyond, though. On the whole, though, mobs are pretty distinct and you are never asked to fight the same pull six times in a row like in SSC or TK. Make sure you have two tanks with nature resist sets in their bags, though, because you'll have to deal with a few monster poison elementals before you get to Naj'entus.
So, in regards to things brought up in the past few pages of the locked thread;
Thomamelas owns some douchbag in guild chat: yikes. As an officer in a prior guild, I had to put people in their place, and even had a few people cry over vent over issues that might result in them being removed (or their friends/loved ones). "LOL ITS A GAEM" doesn't quite cut it when you build a community over the course of 2-3 years, and within that community come relationships (romantic and otherwise), drama, and just people being... people. These people can act out, lash out or just be assholes in general, and yet still, when push comes to shove, they are not really willing to leave or want to be removed, and they certainly don't want some of their more private bullshit aired for all to see. Guilded or not, these may be people that they call "friends", and burning all your bridges is a good way to feel isolated and alone in a game with millions of players.
Badge loot: OH GOD YES! Time to start up the guild karazhan runs again. One of our mages used to run it every saturday, but that seems to have ended. One of our guild leaders started a 'midnight run' on Wednesdays or something, but that's a bit late to start for those of us who have to be up at a reasonable hour (and relatively human) for work in the morning, so I might just have to get a weekend crew rolling on my own. That, and my Druid is 400 rep from Exalted, and the last PuG run I joined was worse than awful.
Edit: also, Vindication Alliance finally found their balls and dominated AV all weekend long. AV was the Daily BG on Friday, and because I was bored and had nothing else going on, I did it on all 9 character.
100 gold and 4000 bonus honour for winning 9 games (probably only took 11 or 12 at most, with very, very short queues)? Don't mind if I do!
My next insane plan for earning cash is going to be stacking all of the characters on Sunwell Isle when it goes live and doing as many dailies as I have time for (easy and fast ones). I figure I could probably average an epic flier per month or two if the daily quest availability and difficulty treat me well, plus herb selling and selling an assload of gems once S4 goes live.

So very terrible. I don't know why they don't just extend the skillup levels in that at least 10 points or so, so you're not stuck mining 15 or 20 points after it goes green.

What?
If you raided 2 to 3 times a week, it would take you about the same amount of time, factoring in drop rates and DKP mumbo-jumbo.
12 days of playing compared to 30. Yeah, that's real welfare.
Druid for sure. Unless everyone focuses on you, they will never kill you. Ever.
Above statement may or may not be true.
Furry.
It doesn't. You're out of range by the time the cast would go off. Hunters usually just conc shot you.
So do start one? Or don't :winky: start one? I'm confused.
For real this time.
Untrue, My BM hunter routinely face rapes druids that vastly out gear me.
Start one ;-)
The best part is we've already BEATEN Kael once, we're just scrubbing it up like never before
I wanna see Hyjal and BT
Again? I think the question is why do you hate yourself?
Second kills are hard. People flip the switch from "Progression to Farmed" after the first kill and get sloppy.
Any pack with a big guy and a bunch of little guys is AoE tankable. Some of the mobs have shadowstep. The dogs, like all wow dogs are the spawn of Wally West and a pitbull.
a BM hunter with beast within counts as "focus".

I guess tonight is Skyguard daily and farming.

Even if you did have the key, you wouldn't want to do that heroic daily.
Down that road lies only madness, ruin, and loss unending
(edit) Seriously, I would rather do Heroic Shattered Halls without any CC than step one foot into Heroic OHB ever again.
Fuck, I would rather do Heroic CRYPTS.
