Random Cataclysm discussion

[Correction]

After 4.2 hits you should be able to successfully PUG players through 10/12 normal mode bosses, considering the drastic drop in HP/damage output for every boss as well as the trivialization of several key mechanics. You probably can't drag players in greens through this content, but gearing a 10-man for Firelands probably won't be much of a problem.

The only real challenge will be the sudden spike in difficulty when transitioning to Firelands bosses at their full, shitty/buggy mechanic strength.

Most pugs I made (without gears or achievement check) managed to get 5/6, 4/4 and 1/2 before the updates. I think your average pugs will be able to full clears these place after the update with the nerf alone. Let alone in 2 weeks with more gears.


[edit]
Maybe not on backwater server, but I can see what will stop people for clearing bwd if they are willing to give more than 2 shot at nef.

Our raidgroup/guild is down to about 5 people now... Not really sure how I'm going to get my legendary now.

[SamanosukeShiva]

Got LW Epic pattern and epic caster DPS dagger off of trash

[Arvin]

sweet drops bro

[aurik]

Any word on if the Embers for the legendary are purchasable or drop only?

[Arvin]

we're about to start up once one or two more people log on so i'll update in a sec

[The Stig]

Heard some guilds are 7/7 already in the US, with a few people saying their guild is 4/7 5/7 etc

I guess this means Firelands normal mode is quite easy

[aurik]

Normal mode, no surprise.

[The Stig]

I'm just trying to decide how our rag tag bunch of misfits will handle it lol

[vrumpt]

Giving how 4.0 normal modes gave so many people so much trouble and were such a turn off for the average WoW player, i wouldn't be surprised if normal Firelands was Naxx easy. I'm not subbed atm so i won't find out, just my predictions.

[Kaylia]

Holy crap.... 3½ aspect, malfurion, Aggra, thrall and yourself were not enough to put a fight against Fandral? I like cutscenes, and I'm happy they are including more plot development, but this particular one looked a little ridiculous. I have never seen so many powerful hero gathered in one place , and they couldn't do anything...

[The Stig]

That would be pretty interesting.

Anyways, weird discussion/question type thing:

I got 3 alts that has not touched Hyjal, only the beginning quests to get tabard. Which quest do I need to go up to in Hyjal to do the Fireland Dailies and the Fireland ICC style rep? (I assume one will unlock both)

These 'first fifty' guilds have been farming Sinestra for weeks and had PTR-honed tactics. Doesn't mean the content is 'easy,' merely that they vastly outgear it and didn't wipe trying to learn it on live servers.

[Katlan]

even so, still sad its so easy. This is content we will be doing for what... 6 months?

It should be 3 months. I dont think there will be another 4.1 with 5man only.

aessena's miracle

[Correction]

even so, still sad its so easy for the fastest, best geared and most experienced guilds in the world, comprising maybe 1% of the game population

Just keeping things in perspective here.

[Arvin]

suddenly, everybody is in a top 50 guild and thinks content is easy.
