School of Hard Knocks get!

Took me under 2 hours to get. I don't see what all the QQ is about.

[Noobta]

Got T8.5 chest and an awesome ring off Vezax. Already up to 8 pieces of ulduar loot, DKP slowly draining away

Elegant Dress in my 3rd egg llo

Just need to finish Bunny Maker (already found a few of the harder female varieties, so hopefully I'll luck out) and Desert Rose.

I'm so not a fan of DKP.

good luck with fragments?

I was in a guild with DKP recently. And it was.... really easy to leave. all the members had like 500 more dkp than me, rolled on shit they didn't need, and I didn't get 1 piece of gear in 2 months. So.. I left. I went back to my old guild which is a much better guild in general, and has a loot council. I've gotten a bunch of gear, and now I feel like I'm a part of the guild, and that I owe it to my guildmates to play well and get them some gear back. I know DKP works in theory, but I've just never seen it work for a guild in a great way, it usually ends up in guilds with a very high turnover rate.

/DKP rant

[Correction]

DKP doesn't work for guilds with even a medium amount of turnover in their rosters.

I'd go so far as to say DKP doesn't work period but I guess some guilds make it work out for them.

[Ishido]

Guild used to use zerosum DKP, which didn't seem bad at the time, but really is harsh for new memebers. EPGP, which we use now, seems to work much better as long as you have a reasonable decay rate.

DKP works fine for my guild. We just normally 'reset' DKP for new tiers so we don't have some people at 3k and others at 500. But we don't do a straight up DKP system. The way we do it is you send in a DKP bid, then you take that bid x and /roll x-(x+100) and another person will take their bid y and /roll y-(y+100) and the highest number wins.

I don't see how DKP doesn't work, unless you keep DKP together through expansions or something and so you have 5 people with 10k and the rest with 1k. If someone is high on DKP it (should?) mean they passed on a bunch of early loot. If they're low on DKP it means they've been getting loot. But maybe this doesn't work in other guilds somehow because people don't bid high ever? It's not rare to see someone bid nearly all their DKP to get that turning tide, or pass on 4-5 items through a Naxx run so they can win the bid on turning tide. In the end it's them trading those 4-5 items to get that one item.

Fuck holiday BG achievements. At least Midsummer/Brewfest don't have any. Violet Drake incoming.

[Guitarman]

Violet drake is the best looking imo, but everyone's gonna have it. Kinda ruins the rarity factor for me : /

"It's just a flesh wound" is by far my favorite achievement. Was sooo worth doing the questline.

[Guitarman]

pulled 4201 dps on patchwerk 10 man. Not bad for having only 10 man gear lol. New personal best.

[Arvin]

In 25man or 10man?

Hodir hardmode in 10man isn't really very hard at all. 25man is an entirely different story.

[brisk]

Got my Epic Flyer today. So much fun having 5 gold left over. Time to grind those Argent Tournament dailies.

[Noobta]

Strat for 10man hodir hard mode? Do you only break moonkins?

[Tymon]

Spoiler: show

people are using exploits with freya trash to kill hodir hard mode

it involves spellstealing guardian lashers

well, 25man at least. hodir 10 man isn't that bad

[Noobta]

They already hotfixed that. We just did it normally to see how far we could get, it went down fast. We can definitely get 2min next week.

[Guitarman]

circle of death off saph. soo happy.

[Arvin]

Had limited time and only did Knock Knock on Wood, instead of 3 x Knock.. Ground Tremor is absolute bullshit and is the most ridiculous ability in the fucking world. Maybe do that next week. We also ended up doing Mimiron Hmode and failed pretty miserably. We didn't really try much because of the time constraint we had but that might go down easy. We did pretty awesome on Hodir with 3 healers, got him to about 35% with 35 seconds or so left? 2 people dead at about 50% also, so we probably got his shit down next week. Yogg with 3 guardians is pretty easy also, gonna for sure get that next raid day.

Woo best pre-raid druid weapon in the game GOOOOO
