I usually use a spirit beast of some sort, since you get all the normal buffs from that pet type + a nice extra heal that can save your ass on occasion (shit happens etc). 5 tics of ~6k heals with no crits is better than nothing anyways. That and they just look awesome (fucking love Skoll).

We can tame water striders as of 5.0 now, which have an instant use/0 recast water walking ability for pet + master.

@Rokku, and anyone else that has had absolute shitty luck with guilds for that matter: Our guild is gargantuan and isn't likely to die anytime soon. 1000+ characters total requiring a 2nd guild with alts and such (which is still 100s of individual people), with linked guild chat using guild2guild. 4 25s and 10+ 10s, up from the 1 25 and 5 10s we had during Cata, all ready to go when MoP hits. Some groups will likely dissolve and merge into others, but we've had our numbers gradually increase even towards the end of Cata. http://www.opponent-guild.com/ for those who care.

any pet that can give you buff/debuff that you're missing, you can respec all pets to ferocity now so it really doesnt matter which pet you use.

all pet base dps are the same

This. I keep a full stable of pets and am able to field any raid buff as well as several useful debuffs. As for your spec... until Pandaria goes live, nothing is balanced, so it doesn't really matter. I've heard we have an over-abundance of focus at 90, though.

That's pretty slick, shame you're alliance side though. My whole situation just boils down to I should've never let myself get talked into leaving Kilrogg though. We were steamrolling hardmodes during Uld and ToC, but when ICC rolled around our GM ended up having a kid, and the whole guild just started coming unglued. I guess some pieces of the guild have endured through all of it, but I don't recognize any guild names or hardly any people on the server anymore.

If I've ever regretted any decision in any game, it'd have to be getting talked into switching to Moonrunner.

Could always apply and rid yourself of those smelly orcs and cows!

First time doing the Recruit-a-Friend thing. If I level with my friend and get two of her characters to lv80 (39 grantable levels each), can I make a monk when MoP releases and have her shoot it straight to lv80 once I get out of the starting area?

yes

[Clash Perez]

Ridiculous. I think I'll have to do it. Thanks.

[Rokku]

yes

You sure on that? Didn't they restrict that on Goblins and Worgen when Cata came out?

edit: Apparently RaF does work on monks and pandaren, and the scroll of resurrection can be used on any panda that isn't a monk.

So I have 2 Vykrul axes now for my monk when it hits 71, but I need to figure out what enchant to go on them. Should I go with Moongose or the static agility enchant? Or something else?

[Clemz]

I stuck mongoose on mine, probably doesn't matter too much. But assuming it still holds that it's a 1PPM, roughly looking at 30 agi/7.5 haste? Something like that.

Anybody know if the Theramore scenario opens up at midnight or post-maintenance tomorrow?

oops nvm it's live now...somehow I thought it wasn't till tomorrow.

wtf 1hr queues for this...

[Pabst]

I managed to just do a shout in trade and got a group. Most mobs are non elites so you really don't need a tank or healer

[Correction]

Yeah just ran through it. Reminds me of grouping in Aion, just attack a bunch of mobs until the last one dies. Maybe it's more interesting at 90 but lawdy this doesn't bode well for the remaining Mists scenarios.

As a 3man type deal what did you expect though? I mean I would really like more of the event system from GW/public quest system from Warhammer, but I guess this is a slight step in that direction. I'm not sure how all the other ones play out, but from just reading about them before MoP it sounded more like a "hop in with 2 other friends, kill some shit, hop out" type deal and just a distraction from doing quests.

Nobody has more haterade on Blizzard then me, but I thought this scenario was ok for what it was. Granted the story wasn't that great since they apparently omitted some shit from the books but maybe they will patch it in quick for the level 90 version? *Shrug* Not like 99% of the playerbase would even read the quest text or care.

[The Stig]

Didn't like it personally, was really expecting more RP/lore/cool stuff happening.

Jaina sounds hot there though. Gonna need to see who voice acts her lol

[Meresgi]

Someone said in the main tower you can find Jaina, Rhonin and Kalecgos and actually fight them but they kill you or something? I didn't check it out the one time I went in.

They have like 90 million HP and hit for 250k.

Man even npc mages are OP.

So, what's the point of the "missions?" I went in on my pld that I hand't used outside of town in months and now realize is a very slow and boring class. It was pretty easy, but It seemed like an instanced quest chain like the ones found on the open map with a small group where you don't need a healer.

Gold drops seem very low, no other drops, no mats to collect... Just seems like a mini, one-boss instance maybe? Could be good for grinding xp I guess, but it would get boring fast.

You didnt get drops? I got some epic 2h axe and the other 2 dks I was in there with both got 1h swords at the end in a bag. And yeah they are pretty much just a quest chain with 2 other people and something to break up the monotony, nothing more really...but who knows they could evolve.
