cause healers could just hot them and be guaranteed to get em.

Heroic Ragnaros is a 30 minute fight.

l o l

It takes 15 minutes to just get him to the last phase, and according to the guilds who got to it "something fucking awesome happens" and the last phase takes 15 minutes.

4.2 Hotfixes

Ragnaros now enrages after 18 minutes in all raid difficulties and sizes, up from 15 minutes.

So is it a 30minute fight and they mean phase or has it always been a 15minute fight. Saw a post on MMO champion showing WOL's and only like one group lasting longer than 13minutes before it was taken down.

Wounded Hyjal Defenders should no longer sometimes spawn in with full health and in a standing position when players are on the quest Burn Victims.
.

Must be a typo for all the time...

Also, in case people dont know, any heals works on the defender. You can walk around using holy radiance, use holy shock or w/e, and you will get the credit.


Not that it was an issue if you teamed up with people to begin with. The whole series of quests takes like 3min.

•Characters who make for a good Dinner Time should no longer be ported to Ancient Core Hounds they are not in combat with when the ability’s effects end.

Holy shit...that's what happened before? I remember being completely disoriented twice after getting tossed back...people were blamming me for the link, and I was left puzzled because my spatial awareness is generally much better than that.

Only have to wait an extra day but damn you :<

I got terrorised by guild people for that lol. They thought I was trolling because I kept doing it!

I glyph into holy nova for these dailies and just run around spamming it :D

Since they added the whole partying with your realID friends feature, if you're horde and you want another hand with some ZG/ZA runs I'd love running with some BG folks.

[Clemz]

You never ran with me before you left Arv.

[Arvin]

clamzzz, we can be realid buddies.

yoink

[Clemz]

I'll add you when I log on tomorrow. Also probably wouldn't keep your email there unless you love getting shit tons of spam.

[The Stig]

Any EU people that want a tank can add me

Does US-EU Real ID work? lol

[Guitarman]

21kish dps dk if anyone wants a realID buddy.

[Arvin]

lol

I start thinking about main switching, cause shaman are getting pretty worthless and then this happens.


Shamanism (Elemental passive) now causes Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, and Lava Burst spells to gain an additional 32% benefit from the shaman’s spell power, up from 20%.

[LidenbokValour]

I was just leveling up a shaman aswell haha.

ahahaha... I can' actually get myself to believe this is a true statement, it has to be all for PR. There is no way they can honestly think WoW is not in its decline

[Galkaeater]

I think your reading it wrong

[Correction]

Shannox

* The number of enemies that must be killed before Shannox spawns has been reduced.

Coincidentally, the reduction seems commensurate with the removal of the surger patrols Still takes too fucking long to spawn Shannox.

[Diamicles]

did they do the whole 'reduced exp from 70-80' thing yet? The exp is kind of ridiculous at this point since you don't get the exp bonuses like you used to in the LK dungeons. It's probably going to take me over a week to go from 75.5 > 80 and I'm running a ton of dungeons

Technically being in a Level 6+ guild is already a 15% boost baked into the 70-80 grind. Heirlooms don't hurt if you have access to them.
Personally I found 60-70 ten times worse due to Outland not aging well compared to the revamped 1-60 zones and the relative breeziness of 70-85. I suspect part of the problem is how much of the 72-75 swing hinges on 5-man group quests that not every class is equipped to solo. The only advice I can give you is to queue for Random Battlegrounds as well, as a win in one of those is GOBS of exp.

Honestly, with full Heirlooms and the guild bonus, 71-80 does NOT take an overly amount of time. I am sorry, but running dungeons back to back is not the most efficient way of leveling through content unless you are a tank and having instant queues or are leveling with a group. I realize the game has gone from an enjoyable game to play, to a game where anything but the end is "worthless" and unentertaining, but with heirlooms, 1-80 is about 7-10 "casual" days work and 80-85 is doable in a day hardcore, or 2-3 casual. Making this quicker obviously will happen with 4.3 according to blue posts, but people need to understand that the leveling process is part of the game just as much as spamming heroics til you are bored to tears is.
