Random Question Thread

Aw thanks for the info tho. I re-read the benefits on the official page, it does specifically state "lower level veterans" -- I'm just very lazy though but yeh I'm aware I can just quest for good results.



In other words, is there a list of items somewhere which can be reused with some cooldown that places an item on the floor for people to see/use?

Stuff (toys) I already carry with me:

Brewfest Keg
Holiday Picnic
Summerfest Statue

Was wondering if there's others. I brought some first aid item for 2g but found out it was reusable (it places a stick with a first aid bag kinda thing for members to use to restore hp/mp) =(

2nd question: that multi man mount elephant with vendors. If I'm on the mount, am I able to reach/talk to them to vendor/repair stuff?

What is the general order people go about progressing through Heroic Modes in Cataclysm? From a 10 man perspective.

We've done Halfus, but spent at least 10 wipes on Maloriak and 20+ on Chimaeron with no attempts going under 30%. Starting to wonder (and hope) there's something easier for us to try first.

[Tricen]

My guild did: Halfus > Chim > Moloriak > Magmaw > Atramedes > Conclave

[aurik]

So far my 10m has done Halfus -> Atramedes. Next is Magmaw I'm pretty sure; we did half a dozen pulls and managed to get through 2 cycles one time, so I'm pretty sure once we practice a bit more After that, I think we're doing Chim -> Maloriak and possibly Conclave on the side.

Idk. We only spend like 6 hours raiding per week now, keeps people from burning out / running out of content in the 2+ months we still have left until Firelands.

1) There's a bunch, I like the staff from Netherstorm in outland, it summons a transparent human mage dude. There's also the toy train, and there's a bunch of TCG rewards that are placeables. Not sure if there's a way to filter wowhead for that item type though.

2) Yes.

ARCHMAGE VARGOTH STANDING BY.

That train set is fucking evil and whatever blizz developer thought it was a good idea needs to be drawn and quartered.

worth every goldpiece. Nothing like busting their cooldown while your mechgnome does his "smack that" dance on the rubble.

[Norellicus]

Until someone drops another train right on top of it

[Correction]

That's what Lil'XT is for.

[Kaylia]

Wait..what? Baradin Hold 10 and 25 are on different cooldown?

The raid finder tool say I'm not locked for the 25m, unlike other raid.

[Tajin]

p. sure its a bug in the finder

[Meresgi]

Anyone else notice Bountiful Bags effects Archaeology? It's not listed on the tooltips but we hit 23 today and now im pulling in 3-4 Tolvir relics in a single dig sometimes, and 3 Highborne scrolls.

[Arcana]

Is there any trick to normal Magmaw, currently my guild is struggling to get to grips with the adds. our current ranged dps are Lock Mage Hunter but sometimes they just seem to struggle (ok the mage does jump around a bit on dps it might be a factor) but i cant help but feel that theres a bigger issue going on.

[The Stig]

We do:

1 tank
3 melee
3 healer
3 ranged

Healer and ranged to be interswappable, but I'm sure we only roll with 2 healers. Thinking back, I'm really not sure.

All melee bunch up together next to Magmaw, NO ONE IS TO MOVE AWAY NO MATTER WHAT
1 healer bunches up with Melee
Everyone else is bunched up together behind the melee/tank (not directly behind)

Someone watches for Pillar cooldown. When it triggers, it will only be in the spot where everyone is bunched up. Have them all run to the other side of either melee/tank and then lay down any slowing movement and AoE hell worms down. Make sure you stay bunched up.

If we lack range I assist them as DK and spam Howling Blast/Death Coil. We lose a bit of DPS on Magmaw but that is not too bad really. If I do have to assist the ranged I will bunch up with the ranged guys too.

I hear guilds using a DK Frost Spec in Blood Presence to "kite" the adds (with PvP talents, the one which slows movement speed if affected by Frost Fever), but that just creates a random spot a pillar of flame might erupt.

This is what my guild does. There's no randomness to the pillar spawn. The DK is the only person outside of melee range, so it spawns on him 100% of the time. When he kites close, our ranged will swing around and put a little dps and some snares up to help the DK a bit, but that probably isn't needed. This method is super easy.

[Arcana]

well how we're currently doing it is having the hunter stand out for flame pillar with traps at the ready, but there are still parasites getting to the main group. i do think alot of it has to do with the mage but i dont really wanna say to him up your game mate or your kicked if its not entirely his fault.

Ah so all your ranged/healers also group up with the melee then? Makes more sense I suppose in that case.

[Dantrag]

That's also what our guild does. Frost DK > Hunter because they can be in Blood and kite all the adds while a hunter would have an issue.

this is incredibly noobish of me, but im used to the f8 targeting system in FFXI or /assist in Dynamis (back in the day) but is there a faster way of targeting mobs while moving around and killing things? im only lvl 35, but my friend is trying to get me some practice in some instances and i seem to be incredibly sluggish at always facing the wrong way and not targeting, since im used to the auto lock feature from FFXI lol
