Got bored of the gameeeee......I will eventually come back. Going back to my old server. And def not making new chars.....I have 22.

The story was great. Ulduar, meh. Prob won't play rofl. Naxx was amazing at level 60....Now it's old and outdone.

Yah, but Ulduar is actually developing content, story, personality, it's the actual "new" content. Alright, you give me account information, I'll start grinding up your character, really! it'll be great >.< You're old server is so bland and boring, and they said you smell, I was like that's not true, and they're like "You know she takes roids." and I was like "Really? NO! No she doesn't... does she?!"

Do you Lici! Egads what is the world coming to...

My priest is already 80 o.O

Yes, but she's undead! So until we're blessed with a way to return her to life and maybe pretty her up a bit, she isn't fit for the Alliance. We like pretty live bouncy people, not saggy, nail dragging, flailing arms and randomly fearing everyone because they cheat and are stupid and I hate them so much undead priests... <.<

But it's a simple enough matter to create a new character, and level them up for 80 so you can see the world as a living and thriving member of society. Undead don't reproduce, they just ooze on people. Where's the fun in that? Ok, I could see a little oozing being entertaining, but seriously!

We have Uther! Had uther... till, ya know, arthas ganked him, but that's cuz he was undead at the time. What a jerk.

So yes, Alliance, we have tails! I'll even off your 5 free run throughs PER instance! That's a one time offer Kimi! Well, unless you reject it, in which case I'll offer it again. So act now or it'll never happen again! Rather act now and it will never happen again. Augh! I want to level a pally anyway, so we can be level buddies! or some such. Mutter.

HEY! I love my little undead girly. And I rarely fear. o.O

22 chars....All random undead, humans, night elves, blood elves, and gnomes. All levels from 1-80....Across 12 servers or so....

IF....you want. You can make an alliance on one of MY servers. =)

I'm very important, minions respect me, pawns pay fealty to me, if I spent time on another server, my underlings would get word and I'd be likely have a coup on my hands! I just set up my guild and reserved you a rank just for your own comfort! It comes with pillows... Pillows!

Whisper me your server and name >.>

Done!

Anyone knows a good free server which is updated frequently? I want to try the game.

Also, is the game good?

Did pug naxx, did everything one shot to patchwerk. We stopped there cause we where tired, plus I had to drive to work at 1.

And I plan to do Malygos on Friday! (Time of this post) I hope it goes well, I keep stressing the tank to learn the fight like a god. He said he watched the video, I told him tos tudy every god damn pixel.

You could always give him and a healer some cash, and have them run in and 2 man phase 1 through the enrage timer. That's practice. If they make it to the enrage timer, you pay for their repair bill. Have them bring a DK too to practice downing the orbs.

Only thing the tanks gotta watch for (well at least the way we do it) is where the sparks are coming in from and to move maly to the oposite side of the inc spark. So after you're raid gets dropped from the vortex Maly doesn't insta eat a spark because he's being tanked on that side.

DK's and druids make the sparks easier to round up (root and deathgrip) but Maly moving is inportant for phase 1. Personally I find 25man maly much easier than 10man, then again we run usually run 2 healers for 10man which sometimes (especially if they're slacking) isn't always enough and we'll have people die during vortex sometimes.

Yah, I've seen decent tanks who move him away from sparks, and I've seen tanks who spot where the spark landed (if it was killed off center), and pull Malygos so the next spark goes right through that area. A great tank makes that fight cake.

Another note, for the first round, root and stun the second spark as long as possible, and kill it right before the vortex happens, then kill the next two sparks as fast as possible. This will allow you to get a three spark bonus!

Well I think we'll have Sath 3D down on 25man tonight, poured 3 hours into it yesterday doing the "normal strat" just to die horribly every time. We finally figured out the strat that works best for us and gave it a few goes for about an hour. (It's what usual works best for us too lol) Throw all structure out the window and DPS our way through. I think tiredness finally won out and we called it for the night.

Usual strat.

DPS Sath, when Tenebron lands, DPS Tenebron till he dies (must be fast) When Shadron lands DPS him some, but move to his portal to kill his acolyte. We DPS the acoylte and have specific AOE'rs DPS the remaining welps from inside the portal. A feral dps bear grabs the acoyltes and grabs the welps off the tank outside the portal from inside the portal (the armor reduce debuff he gets is pretty bad after awhile). Vesperon has landed by now, often with his and Shadrons acoyltes popping. However we usual die at this point because the MT get's breathed and gets one shotted for 60 -70k. Only so much a guardian spirit rotation can do to save em.

After facerolling across my keyboard at the frutility of this strat and our guild for 3 hours. Our usual raid leader arrives, and one of the hunters doing the least DPS has to log. So the DK raid leader joins us and after a few attempts at the above method we try something different.

So here's what we do now.

DPS Sath till Tenebron lands. Kill Tenebron (normally dies a few moments after Shadron lands), Tank moves Shadron to the side where Vesperon will land and we kill Shadron. But not all DPS seem to realized they have to go into the portal at that point to kill off the acoyltes still (Shadrons acolyte was still up and Vesperon's had just spawned). I think we'll tighten up this strat tonight and hopefully will have the achievement.

I was playing DPS/healer for it as we only bring 6 healers. So I dps exclusively outside the portal (sometimes in if I can spare it) and heal the bear tanking the acolytes and heal the DPS in the portal. Suffered about a 1k DPS loss but the heals are far more important.

Almost got my Epic Flappy, Yeeee

Which one?

An idea (if you employ elemental shamans, hopefully multiple). Have them specced or improved Fire Nova Totem and have them stand on top of the aoe tank. After the whelps spawn, they should begin rotating the placement of their Fire Nova Totem (place, wait for it to go off, place a totem of wrath, other elemental drops his Nova Totem). This allows an AOE stun (which hits the elementals and dragon whelps), meaning less damage to your off tank who's holding them. Resto shamans/Enhancement shamans can place a fire elemental at this point to help with the aoe dps.

Actually, fire Elemental totems should be used at the beginning of most boss fights (at least when there is more then one shaman <.<)

This may alleviate some of the damage this tank takes, allowing more heals available for your other members. It also allows the aoe dps to focus more on Tenebron (have warlocks seed of corruption and such, but otherwise don't worry abotu the aoe). Once Tenebron is down all out dps the whelps.

My guild was able, at our best, to get Tenebron down and the whelps cleared BEFORE Shadron drops all without popping heroism. Wait for the first portal to spawn, jump in, wipe acolyte and hit heroism just as it's about to die, everyone bursts out with maximum dps and if you're lucky he's downed before he gets a second portal up. May requrie one more portal dance at this point to kill him, but you should only have about 10 seconds of MT taking the huge hits before he's down. Cooldowns get you through that, and you should be safe.

Just got the training, and got a red Griffon, gonna do Netherwing for the drake.

Eulogy, how'd the 3 drake attempt go?

We were short 4 people. Puged 1, 3 logged an hour late.

Didn't get very many attempts tho

But got more organized and less people dying by dumbness. After a few hours and repsawns popping (which we killed) we just did 2 drakes and will try again since reset is today.

What is Epic Flappy? Is it a pet?

I have finally succumbed to the peer pressure of over 11 million players (80% of which apparently are pree-teen boys who make up for their lack of maturity and pubic strength with an overflow of leetspeak and obscenities) and joined the World of Warcraft; I must say that I have enjoyed playing my Arms-specced Human Warrior very much and have yet to really feel frustrated by the game in any way.

Oh don't worry, the frustration will come later.


Long time no type, LRB.

Its a shorter term for an Epic Flying Mount in World of Warcraft.

So yeah, about a week or so ago, my guild collapsed (gm quit server, people were immature, huge ordeal), so my friend and I and a third friend who wasn't in the guild realized our old guild we chartered was still around (we had quit wow because of various circumstances). So we bought the guild for 100 gold (they left 500 in the bank, so 400 profit!) and began some reparations. Then we started recruiting based on a simple factor. Be older then 17, be mature, and want to have fun.

I was expecting maybe hit 10 man nax in a week, clear it in 2, and with extreme luck 25 man nax in 4.

Realizing we were recruiting a lot of people who were 78 and looking to hit 80 soon.

Oh, and we set up a website with a guild charter. Yes, we stole the charter from another guild who had written a very eloquent one, adjusted some wording to make it fit us better, but pretty much used theirs.

Well, apparently another well geared guild imploded, and one of their core groups of 5 people happened to find our website, and were very impressed with our charter. So they joined in.

Then we kept recruiting, gearing through heroics.

Well long story short, after a week of recruiting, we did 25 man Nax yesterday, and cleared 3 wings in 2 and a half hours. We'll be finishing construct on Thursday and hopefully Saph and KT. And within a week or so, I full expect us to be able to down Maly and OS with a few drakes up. Yes, 40 guild members (and solid guild members) in a week is just mind boggling to me.

But apparently the server was waiting for a mature guild, go figure.

Nice Baeron! That's totally badass!

So how'd your re-attempt at 3 drakes go last night?

We got Heroic Twilight Vanquisher done last night

YAY!


Baeron, I don't know if you got my reply PM, my work computer is being weird and I wasn't sure if it went through let me know I'll re-re spond before I leave for vacation

Congrats! And I got it, so you're safe, enjoy vacation?!

Annoying Netherwing dailies is annoying.

for some reason i really dont enjoy doing the EB dailies, but i liked the SoH dailies, and miss them now that im done with them

I don't like Dailies at all, gets so repetitive that you want to either strangle yourself or put in as much rep as possible till you hit exalted and give it the finger as you fly off... hopefully for me on a netherdrake.

im so happy, my T7 chest dropped in VoA, so it saved me from buying it, so i was able to get my T7 gloves too.

i fixed my spec, and changed to the haste/crit gear that i was saving for the new patch (when my dots crit *squee*) and my dps went up nicely

on a boss that i normally did 1700-1900 dps (with a boomkin in party) i did 2000 dps (without any party buffs)

on VoA i ranked number 1 in overall damage

as one of my guildies says, i am a giant killer

we are going into naxx for the 2nd time as a guild (we have had very little people online lately) on saturday. i cant wait to see what my dps and overall damage will be on the boss fights, especially patchwerk

So, tried 10 man malygos, got to phase 3 consistently, ran into trouble, and a dps and healer had to go.

But we said what the hell... 17k wipe... AUGH! Lol, but try again another day.

Gotta stack those sparks yo

Man my vacation was definately not long enough. 0_o

Haven't raided all week just due to not being on. But more than likely everything alliance side is dead 25man wise so maybe I'll just doof around on horde.

Did 10man raid with my RL friends group on horde side on Sunday tho. Ended up having to pug 3 people as some of us had to leave early or were unable to make it at all.

But, funny story happened. Did 4 horsemen (for many of our RL friends in the guild horseman is a first time) Had to have the Warrior MT and DK OT with Baeron and Thane, me as the resto shaman and our Ret Pally tanking Beautrix (sp) and Zelic with me healing us both through the damage for both of us in the bank. We used the tank swap method.

All the DPS died save the hunter but they managed to kill off both Baeron and Thane, the other DK tank died and the other healer died.

So now, you have Me (resto shaman), the Ret Pally, the warrior MT and a hunter. The MT takes over tanking for me so I can focus on heals only. 5minutes go by and we're still all alive and I'm still sitting pretty at a decent mana pool. The ele shaman's (my hubby) ank comes up so he rezes and jumps back in to help kill stuff. After another 5minutes or so everything dies and we get loot.

Sooooo funny of a kill. I actually ran parts of that tanking/healing fiasco with 4 stacks from on mob and 3 from the other. Got freakin CRAZY but we won!!!

Woh woh, wait! If I'm sitting dead as a shaman, and my reincarnation cooldown happens to reset, I get the ability to rezz myself? I thought that only happened when you were already dead?!

Maybe his reincarnate was up the entire time and he just failed to notice it till i asked him after a few minutes. I was pretty busy in the back.

All he said was, "It's up!"

I said, "OK! Use it damn it!"

Rofl, those Ele shammies >.>

So my new guild in our second week of 25 man instances have now downed Malygos, and done OS with 1 drake up. This may not seem that impressive, but we did OS 1 drake 19 man.

People need a bit more training for the Malygos fight so we can eventually attempt the 6 minute down (for the love of god... please!) But i really think we have a solid chance of clearing out most, if not all of the 10-25 man achievments.

My only hope is Ulduar waits just a little longer so I can get my achievement drakes!

Not likely... but here's hoping.

Nice thing about having 10 man Nax and 25 man nax on farm (no wipes/few deaths) if the instances are actually fairly profitable!

So I'm starting to eek out on my cash, edging to the 5k range for at least one of my characters.

I realize with great sadness that there are 0 pieces of gear in the 223 item range for elemental shamans. None. How is this possible you ask? Every class has at least 2-3 pieces if 223 item range, but elemental shamans get the shaft. So the best gear I can get resolves in me getting all five pieces of my tier 7.5, it's depressing! There's potential that the mail chest piece from Malygos (the mp5 one) provides better dps increase for me. I'm nto sure, but it's a definite possibility.

I've realized with a shadow priest in the group, I can max the hit rating I need simply with gear equipped (heroic maly amulet included), and I'll actually be able to switch out any hit rating gems for spell power crit gems and slowly eek towards the promised land of Max Damage!

In reading the patch notes, I'm rather saddened. There's some changes to Elemental shamans that are ultimately useless and really make you question the stupidity of blizzard.

Specifically. Up the elemental tree, they're adjusting Flameshock so that when it's dispelled, you receive 6 seconds of spell haste (so a slight buff). Well, when you use Lavaburst, Flameshock is consumed. But more specifically, being consumed doesn't count as being dispelled (nor does it wearing off over time or such)... only specifically when the spell is dispelled (by priest of paladin. Enemy priest of paladin). WTF? So specifically only if a priest or paladin chooses to cleanse this very weakly ticking debuff? Why would they even bother?

Flameshock never killed anyone!

Second gripe. Totem of Wrath is getting a fun glyph, making it give an extra boost to the elemental shaman spell power of 30% (it currently gives 290, so that's another 87 spell power bonus).

The problem is it has to overwrite one of three glyphs.

1. Flameshock - Your flameshock debuff lasts an extra 6 seconds (from 12 to 18) and is no longer consumed by Lavaburst (when you cast lavaburst on a flameshock debuffed target, it is automatically a crit, but consumes the flameshock). This means I only cast Flameshock once every 18 seconds (it's 1-2k depending on if it crits). In that time I cast lavaburst 3 times for crits. If it's consumed, Flameshock has to be cast 3 times in that 18 second period because of being consumed, replacing 3 lightning bolt casts (4k-9k damage, more if it procs an extra cast). Yah, 81 extra spell power doesn't compare.

2. Lightningbolt - You're lightningbolt spell does an extra 10% damage. Lightningbolt is my bread and butter spell, 60-65% of my damage. So yah right. That's 300 damage reduction for an increase of 81?

3. Flametongue - You're flametongue enchant also adds +3% to crit. 3% to crit vs 81 spellpower... hmmm.

Ok, really, Blizzard, which of these glyphs did you think needed to be replaced?

Unless you're going to make a minor glyph slightly useful (HAH), bite me, I hate you.

So yes, two huge elemental tweaks that make no difference to any competent elemental shaman.

Got my Netherdrake, did a little bit of naxx and got my T7 chest.

You people and your hardcore raiding, I am haven fun chasing my gnome friends on my dragon

Our MT and Raid Leader on Alli side didn't log yesterday and apparently nobody felt like running the raid. So Sath 3D attempt turned into Sath21 man run. And Maly 25 turned into Maly 10.

/slitwrist

That's rough. This week, I plan on leading a successful 3D 10 man down!

How could this be possible you might ask? The technical concept of bringing 3 tanks, 4 healers, and 3 dps is just a pain and could never be done!

Easy, I say!

The trick is, you have to engage and defeat Sartharion with all 3 drakes up.

So you assemble your best crew of dps... 8 of them.

You take one shaman healer, and one DK tank (with lots of DPS).

Kill all the adds (Except for the drakes), and line up in the back side (behind sarth). Tank charges in with everyone close behind, and pop heroism and blast him as hard as you bloody well can.

You can down him in about 80 seconds (tank has to grab the first drake for about 5 seconds), and then the rest of the drakes/adds land and wipe the raid.

Then it's a simple matter of coming back in and looting Sarth (With all the delightful loot of a 3 drake down.)



Ok, so this was done with a group of 8 melee dps (think 2 dk's, 3 arms warriors, 1 rogue, 1 feral druid, 1 enhancement shaman), a paladin tank, and a shaman healer. So they're all boosting each other's stats, but I think any appropriately formed insane dps group can blitz him successfully.

Fingers crossed

My guildies were talking about that kill. They said he was dead in 75seconds but the entire raid wiped at the end only barely squeaking by with the kill.

Pretty much. The Drakes enrage when Sarth hits 20 - 25% when he shouts "This pathetic siege ends now" which is why you can see all 3 Drakes be kited away towards the end of the video. To be fair, they were fairly luck with the kill, but the DPS output was pretty impressive for 10 man, though that might just be because I'm hat used to seeing low, low DPS numbers out of most of my Guild.

Speaking of which, I'm starting to give up hope. Nobody is signing up to raids anymore & it isn't fair on the GM & his son in Australia who can only raid with us once a week, for them to constantly be missing out on raids.

I'm seriously considering moving to a softcore raiding guild, who are actually raiders for Ulduar. Albeit I have exams in the summer which will affect my play time greatly, but it's better than sitting on my butt on Fridays & Saturdays doing nothing due to nobody else turning up.

Our guild's seeing a bit of a slow down too it seems. I swear I leave for a week vaca come back to raid and we're half-assin shit again.

More than likely it's because of Ulduar around the courner and in all honesty the current content being boreing. I myself often have to force myself to log for raid some nights, I like raiding but lately it just feels like a job.

I still go, but I by no means am giving 100% of my attention to the raid. I got a macro worked out that only puts me at "maybe" 50 - 100 DPS lower than me actually weaving my spells in perfection mode but I can watch movies and mostly mindlessly DPS lol.

Im a lvl 70 retro paladin. I beat cloth 1000:1. LVL 70 Beast Hunter with scorpian pet. LVL 20 warrior no real spec yet

Eul, my suggestion, take a week off, do other stuff, or you're going to burn yourself out.

We ran heroic Nax last night, 20 man'd until four horsemen, took about 2:40 to do it (hell, we even got arachnaphobia), and we were running with three new mages we brought in who were fairly undergeared.

Then I ran 10 man Nax with my shaman with a very noob group. That involved a lot of off healing, and heavy dps, but they made it through two wings (took two hours).

Thursday it'll be completion for Heroic Nax, and then I have to hope to pug a Heroic Nax group so I can try for my trinket again.

Once I get my trinket, all I need is the shield from KT, the ring from KT, and the cape from heroic OS and I'll be set. But most of those are slight upgrades, while the trinket is a huge dps boost.

Either way, fun times ahead.

A retro paladin huh?



Sort of like that?

Speak of paladins, what about the changes to JotW and SA? No mana back on damage makes SoB less appealing, especially on AoE heavy fights like Leotheb and Sartherion. I personally might just change back to SoC if they buff it enough, how about you?

Which will equal to about 5 months of raiding.

Not really, we're fairly geared, and there's little competition for elemental stuff.

The trinket may take 2 weeks, but I'd expect at least the shield/ring in one.

And the 2 drake sartharion we'll have down this week, I just can't bring my elemental because we need my tank >.< sigh...

The guild has drawn in some very nice people (this being our third week after being reformed), and we're at about... 46 members (including alts) which results in 30 raiders, 23 core raiders.

We've done all 25 man content, save for achievements (so far achievements are 1 drake 19 man Sarth (Dual achievment anyone?) normal 25 man Maly, 20 man 8 of the 15 bosses of Nax.

I still need my second undying title (for my tank), and a few other 10 man achievments cleaned out, and I'll be set in that regard.

But we're coming along nicely.

Best thing i can say is, recruit heavily, and recruit mature/laid back raiders. Guild's practically run themselves.
