World of Whorecraft: Battle for Asseroth

[Rivmusique]

Weekly chest depends on highest timer beaten. Edit: No, you were correct.

Volcanic should only fuck your healer if cunts aren't moving out of it. I ran one the other night that had a mage that ate every 2nd one that appeared under him and a hunter that wasn't much better. When the damage wasn't straight up putting them in the ground (~75% HP) it was draining mana and potentially taking away casts from the tank. Fortunately I worked out when it was best to just leave them low and never let the tank die, so still made 2 chests.

Kara was a really fun 5-man imo, I hope they get a largely positive reaction and do more "5-man-raids" aka dungeons that take more than 20 minutes. I would love to see a more BRD-ish one, very non-linear and possible to get lost in. New Kara is alright in that regard up to Curator (the same layout as old Kara, but from a different entrance, the old side door), but then it's pretty much a straight line for the other 3 bosses. Haven't done a Nightbane run yet, that fight looks good though.

 

[Puukko]

It was our healer who got targeted by volcanic all the time as the only caster. I don't remember if he was stacking with us but it is sometimes hard to avoid.

I've had bad luck with trinkets and relics, I'm hoping I get the one from Vault in my weekly chest, instead of a ring like the past 3 weeks. I want to get rid of my <850 gear.

Kara was challenging and fun. Some fights were really hard on the healer, Moroes especially.

 

[Doktor Best]

I dont get why they dont use the raid difficulty settings for karazhan and other big 5-man-dungeons. Reduce the difficulty a bit for nhc, use current mythic mode has hc and implent a mythic mode that keeps even proraiders on the toes.

 

[Puukko]

Legendaries can buff your damage silly.

I did sims a week ago before 7.1 and my legendary and got 295k. Did them again today since it got updated and got 371k. That's pretty crazy.

 

[Maculo]

I am both eager and worried about getting a legendary. I hear the chances of getting a legendary go up as time passes, but I am worried I will get a shitty utility legendary and be stuck with it.

For destruction warlock, there are two legandaries that strongly outweigh the other (extra damage to havoc and soul shard refund).

 

[Echo Mirage]

I managed to get a legendary once 7.1 hit from a Highmountain cache. Loramus thalipedes sacrifice for the havoc demon hunter alt I have. Never thought I would get one. But nothing on my now buffed frost DK main but a few good relics.

I also was also wondering why my guild of supposedly 300 plus players was so quiet. For a while I thought it was because a lot of people were waiting to see if legion pans out since most of them logged out in there garrisons. Or like me had skipped Warlords and were still level 90 and parked in the vale. But nope. I checked the guild vault and some guy a year ago had not only cleaned it out, but taken all 30 million gold as well. So as it stands Perplexity on Sylvanas EU is about 5 guys on a weekend that don’t talk. So organized content is out the window but at least it’s quiet and stops me getting spammed by the cesspool guilds named after the meme of the month.

They also never lost my Exalted rank. So I can buy all the heirlooms I want.

 

[Puukko]

Pugged EN HC. At Ursoc, got 6 buffs, did 358k dps, tanked the boss for the last half a mill since everyone else was dead and killed him. He drops all of my best loot. Got 2xgold.

Beyond 7.2
We will be going to Argus.

This tale is far from over. World of Warcraft isn't going to be ending any time soon.

 

[Revenant]

Keep your edginess, that "base" will most likely be something like Garrison Outposts were, i.e. largely irrelevent and unintrusive, like the Legion mission system itself is.

Also, got my first legendary today - Prydaz, Xavaric's Magnum Opus, as a pally. Gain absorb after not taking damage for X seconds, seems kinda meh to me right now.

 

[Dawkinsfan69]

Boat Day.

Can't WAIT!!!!

TLDR: More AP grind more world quests more gear grind more rerunning M+ 1000000 times

It's a repeat of the Isle of Quel'Danas from TBC. Just with a few advances in tech.

 

[Puukko]

Moroes drops good loot for me as well. Got 2xgold from him as well and then a ring from the Curator because it's not like everyone has more rings than fingers already.

So, WoW being WoW?

 

[Maculo]

I switched from Destruction to Demonology, and the difference in complexity is huge in my opinion. Thakiel's Consumption, demonic empowerment, etc definitely keeps me on my toes. Thakiel's Consumption can hit like a truck, but a one second delay can ruin it.

I do not know how anyone can play it effectively without weak auras.

 

[Rivmusique]

• If a moment in game is going to be remembered for years to come, it should become a cinematic.

What a horrible way to think. Lucky it's just WoW.

 

[Revenant]

So, it has completely reversed: dungeons used to be the bread-and-butter and raids the exclusive end-game content, now raid content can be seen with LFR while certain dungeons are Mythic only, which means you can't queue up for them using the group finder and if you want to see the content of The Arcway, Court of Stars or Return to Karazhan, you have to actually go to them and do them in a difficult mode. Game has never been better for 5manfags than it is now

 

[Metro]

They made 5 mans great again. Problem is I'm too old to deal with guilds and shit and e-meeting people to run them.

 

[Puukko]

Did my first M+10, it was MoS. We were ~865 with a 880 healer. Started off okay but it quickly became apparent we wouldn't beat the timer. And then we just wiped on Helya which I've never done before. Ended up finishing after 66 minutes when the timer is 24 minutes. So no cheevo for me.

That weekly chest had better have some fat loot for me.

 

[Maculo]

I switched to Holy Paladin, and I am having a much better time. I think Holy Paladin is a much better attempt at a tanky, immobile caster than Warlock (comparing apples to oranges, I know). Dungeon queue are 3-5 minutes, and I actually really enjoy Legion's dungeons so far. If Blizzard continues to add more dungeons and rewards, I will stay subbed. The weird part is that trash fights can be harder than the bosses. Most groups still mindlessly AoE, but the mobs can throw nasty aoe spells right back in your face.

Of all the dungeons I have played so far, Maw of Souls seems the most hectic. Just last night, my group made it to Helya without any wipes, and within 20 seconds 2 DPS died instantly, because they stood in her breath attack. We continued the fight with three people (me, tank, and sole surviving DPS). The fight was actually easier with three people, because there were less screw ups to heal through.

Now, I just want Blizzard to add armor dyes.

 

[Puukko]

Yeah, you really do need to know which trash groups are nasty on +7 and above, otherwise you're sure to wipe.

 

[Maculo]

It occurred to me last night that I researched the bosses, but not the trash packs. Those are what caught me off guard. I really want to start mythic+, but I need to practice healing more (Beacon of Virtue for the win).

Is WeakAuras helpful addon for Monks? I've heard alot of people using it, but never had a chance to try it myself. What does it do?

It's a handy way to display buffs, CDs, resources bars etc instead of relying on flashy icons in your action bar to tell you when some ability has procced. You can import profiles made by others. I'd say every class benefits from it, I tried it for the first time in Legion and wouldn't dream of playing my rogue without one now. I've got mine showing opportunity (free pistol shot) procs, marked for death and adrenaline rush CD, an energy bar, and most importantly, which roll the bones buffs I have, /yelling when I get all 6 to let others know. Could add stuff like trinket CDs and other ability cooldowns to it if needed. I can add a picture later.

I actually tried to get this complex weak aura to work for my brewmaster the other day but ran into issues, unfortunately. It would've shown a rcommended rotation on the screen at all times based on procs etc.

 

[Windwalker]

Puukko Well that sounds nice. I've played Rogue before and without macros, tons of addons and procs you ain't gonna do much. However monks now have relatively simple rotation without any major cooldowns so I'm not sure if addon will benefit for me, but I can try it on Brewmaster spec.
What issues you run into?

It was this one I tried to install but simply couldn't get it to work properly:


I may give it another go later, I'm only leveling my monk still.

This is what my rogue setup looks like with everything on:

I should probably add my artifact ability and vanish to it, at least.
