WTF, mr. robot has logs?

Warcraft Logs >>> Mr. Robot.

Unless you like bright colors and ads more than analysis.

Yea I don't really do anything with my logs for self-improvement so I just use AMR to mentally masturbate over how much better I am than other tanks. Warcraft Logs is much superior.

Nooo,

They fixed double trapping. I seem unable to get a second trap to trip now when trapping elites at least. That kind of sucks. They did appear to increase the number of elites, so at least that helps some.

February 3, 2015:
Blackrock Foundry opens with Normal and Heroic difficulties available.

March 24, 2015:
Raid Finder Wing 4: Blackhand's Crucible (Blackhand) unlocks.

Yeah there's no way mr robot logs are as accurate. The uptimes it lists for certain spells would require us to have been afk eating glue for a third of the fight.

Not that I don't do that sometimes.

The ilvl ranking feature is neat but ilevel is a dogshit indicator or performance - what puzzles me is why they don't use their own stat weights to give you a meaningful gearscore, and then rank you by that. I think I meant to feedback that the last time I typed this exact same thing here. I like repeating myself.

EDIT: Wow only two more weeks of Highmaul. Followed by another month of pugging it to get scales of doom.

Saturday Old Man Minivan Stay At Home Dads Noodle Crewdle Raid is hitting up BRF on Feb 7th.

Hells yeah!

Looks like they're determined to repeat the mistakes of MoP by rushing early content instead of spacing it evenly to avoid a crazy long content gap on the back-end.

That is, of course, unless they can actually deliver on a 12-18 month expansion cycle.

I believe BRF is still considered the first tier of raiding. Given their track record the end of the expansion is going to sit around for 12 months or so though.

Highmaul should last another month, with BRF coming out early March. There are 2,220 to 2,300 guilds in the world that are still 2/7 mythic. That numbers obviously gets lower and lower the more bosses killed.

134 guilds in the world are 7/7 mythic, and around 400 are 6/7 mythic. I'm fine with top guilds getting the final boss killed on mythic before a new raid comes out, but if the majority of mythic guilds aren't even 50%...releasing a new raid after 2 months of the starter raid is way too soon in my opinion.

They already gave a date today, normal/heroic opens on February 3rd, mythic the following week.

sauce

HM feels like a raid they kind of just quickly put together to ship with WoD. I'm pretty sure BRF will be the first real raid. HM doesn't even have a proper tier set and really the only fight that is halfway interesting mechanics wise is Bracken.

just like how Mogushan Vaults was, intro raid with shit gear to tie people over before they release a real tier raid.

BRF looks sick as fuck though, i'm excited for it

---

It is the same tier, MSV/TOES/HoF was T1 in MoP, HM/BRF is T1 of WoD.
They just segment them to give them more time to make T2 content lol

It seems odd that the only way to get a resource they know is going to wind up being a hot commodity to such a limited amounts of mobs in a limited part of one single zone and did not expect it to turn into a griefing FUBAR.

Wow they are really stretching out the LFR release... The last wing of LFR doesn't roll out until the last week of March, that's kinda crazy. Might as well just let my account lapse and then re-up sometime in the late Spring rather than just have piddly content for the next 2-3 months.

My 6 month is up right around the time BRF opens and I was thinking about letting it renew and make some stronger effort to get into a quasi-regular Normal raid group but this staggered release is just the incentive I need to not renew.

normal raids are easy, LFR loot blows and is faceroll anyway.
try actual raiding, its pretty fun this tier

what is that sweet leveling guide program thing people pay for, I wanna pirate it.

It's actually the opposite. They are stretching out content longer than ever before. Highmaul+Blackrock Foundy = Tier 17 just like MSV+Heart of Fear+Terrace of Endless Spring = Tier 14.
