World of Warcraft: Current Year

alright I'm going to give that a try tonight. If I can't beat it, so be it, but the skin looks really nice.

I only did one other mage tower and that's affliction scythe on my main. Went into pre-expansion-lull-mode too early this year.

Isn't today the patch day? There will be no mage tower tonight.

I only did a few appearances. I'm not one to xmog my stuff much anyways. I do regret not doing werebear but it's whatever. I'll never play a filthy bear anyways.

I gotta be honest after I got over the initial "do I really care about this stupid shit" hump I found the challenges to be really rewarding. It was a great way to actually learn a new class/spec and see what you could get out of it.... for the most part. Some were total cheesefests (Spriest, Assass Rogue, Aff Lock).

You dun goofed!

I did aff lock when it came out and it was retarded easy with the ring.. and that was back in early TOS gear. At 975 equipped I did the WW Monk one in two attempts (didn't know to interrupt stuff). Brewmaster was really hard when it came out, as all the tank challenges were, so I felt rewarded getting that down.

I do wish I did a little more with them, but at this point in the expac I'm pretty burnt out and ready to move on. The one I'll regret is the bear.

That's because you've been mythic raiding in progression mode for most of the past 5 months. Sucks the fun out of the game completely when it takes that long to get through a tier.

Antorus came out in December and we basically went nonstop, you're right

Goddamn it was that long ago? The raid tier lengths in Legion have fucking sucked since NH. They've all taken way too goddamn long to complete for the average mythic raiding guild. We barely got CE for Gul'dan in my guild (killed him the night before ToS released) and then having to go right into progression mode again for that shit show ToS was too much for me to bear.

Hate that my guild died off. Needing to pick a class, pick a server and find a guild to my liking before BFA launch makes me not even want to start back up.

Whatever, Hyjal, FOH. Duh.

Yeah I remember Method killed Argus 2nd or 3rd week of December. FOH probably could've gotten Argus too but I had an existential crisis. The guild I'm in now killed him about a month ago, but it was 4-5 weeks of attempts with 450ish wipes. Pretty grueling for a dad.

They were a good thing to kill some time over the last few weeks with. A bit of something different and a challenge with some decent reward looks. I managed to get both of the alternate druid forms which given how rare that kind of change has been is nice and the demo warlock one which again something we probably won't to much of again. Otherwise I was just doing random ones that were on well geared characters and managed to complete a fair amount of them more than I expected. It helped pass the time nicely but I am ready for new stuff.

For me, that was the carrot - was fun playing specs/classes I never play, learning rotations and then winning the fights eventually. Survival was a joke, and was probably the easiest by far, but having never playing Survival, learning a rotation and one shotting Xylem was rewarding in a weird way.

As to the skins themselves, most are not even as good as the hidden or pvp skins, but outlaw, ret, prot warrior and few others are excellent and will definitely be used by me later. Others, are not even cool looking.

I really had not done a lot on my rogue but once I realized it was the agatha fight I figured I could probably get it done. I will say that it was a lot harder on rogue than feral just due to lack of really good AOE power but by abusing the fuck out of that talent that gives 5 combo points and resets on death many imps were stabbed. Those are some really nice looking cutlass and one of the skins that looks really nice. Like my arms warrior was probably geared enough to do their challenge but the fight was annoying me and frankly the two transmogs I got from the pantheon both look better than the challenge weapon so I said fuck it. Fancy 2 handed swords are common enough.

You just sit your ass in front of a mob and position your camera so that you can call out baddies doing bad things. If someone takes aggro off of you cause you aren't paying attention while calling people baddies, call them a baddie too.
