here in EU the random heroic queues are super fast. i am actually always surprised since i rarely have to wait longer than 5 minutes.yeah my only regret rolling a mage is the queues at 90 can suck... meaning about 30-45 minutes for a random heroic or LFR. I just hit 90 over the weekend so I still have plenty to do while I wait.
Timeless Isle only got my to ilvl 476 and I need 480 to queue for the ToT raids... pissing me off. Need to find like one more piece of gear, hopefully I'll get it from one of the weekly chests today.
The dominance point trinkets are 496 and can be bought with JP. Need to at least do the unlocker quests and it requires some rep (don't know how much off the top of my head). All the JP bought stuff can be upgraded with JP as well.The JP trinkets are actually like 489 or something I thought. But whatever JP are plentiful.
yeah, and nothing like getting gold, rolling an extra, and getting gold again.nothing like seeing one of the celestials at 5%, run in and hit it 3 times and end up with 553 gloves. such a fucking joke.
It's called lucknothing like seeing one of the celestials at 5%, run in and hit it 3 times and end up with 553 gloves. such a fucking joke.
What's hilarious is I've never done the Flex versions, so I honestly have no idea what some of these are. I guess once I start doing flex, I should relearn the real version of the fights.I've gotten 1 pvp item from celestials in 8? weeks. I've stopped using my bonus roll there, I'd rather use them to eliminate SoO wings.
So far my favorite fights on flex are the ones where you actually have to do the mechanic. Malkorak and Garrosh mainly, because everything else is just LFR again. Like a successful Flex 4 has sawblades all over the fucking place, people fucking up the conveyor, two shredders up at once, etc. And paragons, hah. The only reason flex ever kills those is by massively overgearing it.
Paragons are just a circus. Every time I soak an aim, some tard will jump right on top of me and double up the damage. Every amber and blob heal goes through. I've never even seen anyone hit a blood, and those things do like an 80% heal. And kuchongs are a death sentence. Hell I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to do on those - do I just keep an eye on them and wait for them to poop out a beam on someone, then try to dps them down fast so they let go? I was able to use disengage on mine, but I don't know what other things I can do to delay my own death.
And then you have Garrosh, where the challenge is convincing enough people that they need to spread out for whirl. Yes, you too. Spread the fuck out, and kill the adds apart. It's the only thing in the fight different than LFR and most seem to have no idea that the buff exists. Probably the ultimate facepalm (more like deskforehead) was when I was killing my add well away from the group and A DK GRIPPED IT INTO THE RETARD FAIL PILE. You just can't buy better entertainment than that.
Oh, and I was pleased to discover that even on Flex, people will still run away when targeted by inferno blast and die alone in a corner. That shit makes me moist. I want a mod that does the Nelson laugh for that shit. I'd laugh until I passed out on Lei Shen. (bonus points when an entire pile of people stand uselessly on the lightning floor during intermission phase. That requires a Seinfeld laugh-track)
Granted, I can reach a threshold where laughing turns into "okay, fuck this." (see last week's rant) But for the most part, this has been a blast.
Level as a healer or tank so you're actually wanted in groups.So, I haven't played WoW since vanilla, and I'm thinking of maybe picking it up for something to mess with a bit. It would be a completely fresh toon. Where is the place to go for decent info now? I have absolutely no idea.
Other than making sure you are as far away from the little kunchongs when the ability is about to go off, I don't know, but all it takes is DPS switching and doing around 30% of the kunchongs health for it to let go. And the same one will charm until it turns into a big one, so dps can anticipate.And kuchongs are a death sentence. Hell I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to do on those - do I just keep an eye on them and wait for them to poop out a beam on someone, then try to dps them down fast so they let go? I was able to use disengage on mine, but I don't know what other things I can do to delay my own death.
Just signed up and downloaded the addon.http://openraid.us/
If you're looking to do flex but don't want to deal with the "550+!" dickheads, this is the best possible way.
Also I'll agree with Gonzy that ret is real fun to raid with. I'm not blowing anyone out of the water and usually sitting 5-7 on the chart (1-3 in lfr) but I'm having fun (which is why you're playing the game right?)
The quickest way is with the dungeon journal. An ability that is different on lfr/flex/etc will have text explaining the differences.What's hilarious is I've never done the Flex versions, so I honestly have no idea what some of these are. I guess once I start doing flex, I should relearn the real version of the fights.
lol This is my favorite part ~Oh, and I was pleased to discover that even on Flex, people will still run away when targeted by inferno blast and die alone in a corner. That shit makes me moist. I want a mod that does the Nelson laugh for that shit.
