inb4 they are 6/7 or 7/7 before Tuesday

[Correction]

Given Blizzard's track record with 1.0 versions of Heroic final bosses, I don't think anybody will be 7/7 for a while. We'll probably end up with another H. Al'Akir, where folks will just pick the low-hanging fruit depending on whether 25 or 10 man is easier, then clear the rest once an alt raid catches up to them.

[Arvin]

Besides, it's only a matter of time before next Tuesday, when guilds will post their 'we spent less time learning Heroic Insert Boss Here than Starz! WORLD FIRST!' gloats and all will be right in the EU world.

True that.

We're obviously gonna be shooting for the top, got a great smaller and more skilled group this tier and everything has been looking up. I knew swapping from Resto to Ele was going to be good. D:

[Tajin]

Off-topic Arvin would you mind linking your spec, and your gem/reforge prio as elemental D: ? its been my offspec forever and while its mostly my healing gear and some ele pieces, my dps is terrrrrrible :/

Armory in my sig: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../arvv/advanced

Just go to the talent tab on the left. Reasoning for speccing into Totemic Focus is so Fire Elemental totem lasts longer when it's down. Going to change that though next week when I get 2-piece since Fire Ele should have around 95% uptime with it.

I gem to match socket bonuses if they're INT, Mastery or Haste. Brilliant Reds, Reckless Oranges, Purified Purples.

Stat priority: Hit (I'm at 16.96%, but I just compensate with a campfire LOL.) > INT > Haste/Mastery > Crit > Spirit. Some people swear by Mastery, some by Haste. I like to just have a mix of both. They're about equal in stat weight right now unless one is better on a certain fight.

I reforge a lot depending on the fight as well. For example, when we would do Sinestra I would reforge all of my haste, crit and additional spirit into mastery because of the buff we receive during the last phase.

Some weird but not really noticed reasons you might not be doing as great as DPS as you wish would be rotations, or knowing when to use which totem and whatnot. If I know something needs AOEing I usually place my Fire ele between that and the main target. If he's down, magma totem is actually viable. Glyph thunderstorm with both glyphs for a good burst of AOE, and flame shock tabbing/fire nova is outstanding now.

A tricky mechanic as well is when you're in fights that you receive a beneficial damage buff, it's not applied to your Fire ele but it IS applied to your searing totem. Stupid mechanics, etc.

There's a pretty wide gulf between what Exodus did to kill Yogg0 and this. The head start is making people mad but then again so did Ensidia (then Nihilum) when they killed C'Thun/Kel'Thuzad, the other guilds at the time having run into bugs where bosses were failing to respawn. Sometimes blizzard makes a mistake, and it gets another guild a world first. Hardly bannable unless you're LOSing Immortal Guardians in the brain room.

C'Thun had to do with Europe getting the patch before their instances reset, so they had a full cleared instance, and even though US got it a day before, most guilds spent the entire day clearing, and didn't have it in them (w/ 40man back then/etc) to keep going at midnight, whereas Nihilum walked in at the start of their raid to C'Thun, then it was reset the day after that for them.

Kel'Thuzad bug hurt Nihilum, it didn't help them. They were there at the start, with DnT, and because of the bug, Stars and Risen both caught up to them (but it was the same week anyway, but ya, they prob woulda killed KT that week). It didn't become killable until the following week, and was a race between 4 guilds when Nihilum really should have had it dead before some others got Sapph down.


As for the lameness of World firsts/etc, throughout all of WoW it's been lame bullshit after lame bullshit. I'm not entirely sure how people are really surprised at this point...from BWL (gate not opening after Vael, exploited kills on Chromagus, Exploited kills on Nef) to AQ (C'thun handed to Nihilum on a platter). In early TBC there was dumb shit with soulstoning 25 people (then later 15 people), as well as the Vashj exploits and bugs. BT/Hyjal weren't even a race since Nihilum again had a week head start (though I guess they semi-earned that one). In Wrath, Ulduar and ICC both had bugged kills at the start, Naxx didn't really have shit worth racing for.

It happens more often than there is a "fair" race. As for this Stars thing, it's been joked about since Naxx80 at least...it's not an original idea, and I'd be upset if Blizzard banned them over it. It's lame as fuck, but it's not exploiting in the least.

[Galkaeater]

blizzard have already stepped in and disabled heroic mode for now

[aurik]

Pretty clear response "don't do that." but ultimately fair because it was blizzard who overlooked this well-known sploit for a very long time.

[Tajin]

Thanks Arv, your gemming is mostly what i was doing. And i most certainly never use fire elemetal totem, actually i rarely use 'big' cooldowns unless im playing pala/dk or hunter since its the ones im most confortable playing :/

[Arvin]

Here is a pretty common parse, tried to find one where I get my Elemental with a decent uptime. Click my name for the pets, you'll see how much DPS he actually contributes.

http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...68&e=1677#Arvv

Only active for 15.6%, which is a huge reason to go for 2piece bonus first in firelands. This shit is not gonna be very balanced. It always resets the elemental after like at least 40 seconds of attacking.

Dailies are already boring as shit, sure maybe the zone might look interesting and be fun in 4 weeks but nothing really interesting at all right now. Isle of Quel Danas was more interesting for its first week.

[Tricen]

I feel like I wont be able to raid without pugging and I wont be able to find a solid raid group since my schedule is kind of not great for super progressive people. QQQQQQQQQQ. Do weekendguilds or latenight guilds still exist?

[Meresgi]

Why the fucking shit are the patterns at the VERY end of the new daily grind, when the items you can craft are replaced with some drops off the 1st bosses in Firelands. Case in point, I wanted to make the BS sword for my DK because I still have Akirus...yet by the time I actually can get the pattern I will most likely see a few axes off of Shannox (we got one this week but I lost to a TG warrior)..and the axe of shannox is loads better then the craftable one.

Sure it will be great when I level my warrior alt up...but come on now.

Yeah this sucks, it will be worth it for me though since I have 2 engineers doing them with 40 unused chaos orbs on both. Will mass produce the 365 guns and sell em, cause there's no shortage of huntards out there.

My random complaint: we've lost our OT, and now I have to tank when I'm supposed to be on my mage who is much more geared and actually first in line to collect for Dragonwrath. I guess it's best for the time being but not what I had in mind since I heard there was a new caster legendary coming out.

[Guitarman]

alot of gear things are fucked up this tier. 2 sets of plate tank shoulders but no plate dps shoulders...derp.

You answered your own questions. These items are not meant to be used by the first wave of players , but will be eventually to make it easier for new players to join fireland. They will basically serve the same purpose Zandalari gears served in T11.

Right now, they are giving away 3 T12 pieces, and that's all you have. People who worked on T11 heroics get a meaningful headstart for gears. Players geared with ilvl359 have the bare minimum to succeed, and the rest will have to works on T11 contents.

Contribute almost 50% of damage to two Ahune wipes. I tell the Shaman healer that he used heroism too early and to use an earth elemental to keep adds off him after the submerge ends. His 3 guildmates kick me from the group. This event, every fucking year, I swear to god. Why can't I just get the fucking pet once so I never have to group with such awful fucking people?

This, I want the pet and be done with this shit..it's getting really annoying to party with retard. Last time, we had to go through 4 phases to kill ahune...I didn't have a working parser, but I'm really curious how much dps they were doing (I was tanking).

I checked the logs of my failgroup.

Shaman healer cast Chain heal 185 times.
He cast a single target heal exactly once.

Way to understand your resto talents, Totemaddict of Suramar!

A turd is still a turd even if you put colorful sprinkles ontop, just like the firelands dailies. I can't believe they're still trying to pass off dailies as "content" to justify a 7 boss raid.
