domo has a wep enhancement?
thought all he did was go into fire cat form and spawn adds?

Maybe it's the guy before Domo ... the one right before you cross the bridge? I don't remember, only been there 3-4 times over the last couple months.

I still need to do the lich king achievement to finish those up. Read the guides to solo it but didn't seem to turn out nearly as easy as it was described.

 

[Anubis]

you play a warlock right? should be easy as cake to solo LK I do it every week

use your void lord, and don't stand in shit. during the blinding frost phase simply keep ROF up so you don't get blasted off by a frost orb

you can also just use the infernal to tank him and his pulsating AOE should take care of the orbs in that phase

Yep, Warlock. I did a run a few months ago with a friend Rogue. Went really smoothly but no mounts. Gonna give this a try soon, love doing older raids that I never had the chance to try.

First evening off tonight! Girlfriend is out, i'm done drywalling the basement, plastering can wait. I moved my PC to the 1st floor to put it away from dust and set it on the kitchen table (we don't use it much lol).

WoW all evening, will be awesome!

I feel like a kid

Anyone tackle Gruul last night? If so, how many Inferno swipes were your groups taking before switching off? I thought the idea was to only eat one at a time but my guild was taking 3..? I think they thought the debuff was a full min.

2 for tank 1 for group.

Tank A swipes group A.
Tank A swipes group B.
Tank B taunts.
Tank B swipes group A.
Tank B swipes group B.

edit: 2 things will kill you on this fight. Your tanks going in too early/late and the boss's melee swings cleave to the group just before or after the swipe. Shatter+swipe at the same time (around the 4-th5th swipe) will 1-2 shot people, or they spread out too much and not everyone eats the swipe.

 

[Worthington]

yeah, that's how I understood it as well. Instead of that we did:

Tank A swipes group A
Tank A swipes group A
Tank A swipes group A
Tank B swipes group B
Tank B swipes group B
Tank B swipes group B

It was brutal. Thank god for Cloak of Shadows.

That just makes the 3rd slash harder on the tank, not the raid, but the second one kind of required a tank CD. A 3rd is probably survivable if you were running a major CD. 3 is just unnecessary though, the debuff will fall off the first tank before they take their 3rd swipe.

I guess the point is, changing to what I posted won't reduce raid damage, but it's clearly the right strat.

 

[Worthington]

We got him down, it just seemed messier than it needed to be.

 

[lupi]

Solo him is easy, just the achievement giving me problems.


Also there was some hotfix done for the fire in the new raid.

With Gruul on normal, the swipe debuff falls off before the third swipe. So each group only needs to take one swipe. You can flipflop back and forth each successive swipe.

On Heroic, each group needs to take two swipes.

Gruul's pretty easy.

 

[Anubis]

we cleared 9/10 on normal and put 7 or so pulls into blackhand at like 2 AM with a good number of people having gone to sleep

most wipes on the dam oreeater boss. we 1-2 shot most other bosses


doing heroic tonight

 

[Beebu]

Full 660 now in conquest gear.

Core RBG team will hopefully push tonight so I can get near 2k.

Monday night was brutal. One major healer dc'd in one game, warlock ddos'd in another (still won mines 9v10), and queued one of the best teams in NA on the 3rd game and let them win.

Oregorer strat help here, this video and image should help things a ton.

officially hit 100 on my Monk from garrison mission XP. lol

pretty sure I'm going to let me subscription lapse once it's up again, though... lately all I've been doing is micromanaging garrisons on my 5 90+ characters while watching tv, outside of clearing LFR weekly.

 

[Rhezuss]

I, my name is Rhezuss and i'm ilvl 604...

I need to work on that lol

I feel the same way. I've got 3 @ 100 and 1 at 92 -- haven't touched any of my other 90s. Probably going to dump all the trade mats I can over the next week, I think I have maybe 8-9 days left on my sub, but then I'm done until BRF LFR is fully open.

On the plus side, finished watching all of That 70s Show again, and I'm up through season 4 of Entourage. However, I am falling behind on the shows where you actually need to pay attention. Maybe I'll catch up on those after my sub lapses...

 

[JujuFish]

I'm a bit of an alt whore, and I like questing while watching TV, so I have five 100s, a 97, and two 96s on Horde side. Haven't really touched my alliance toons much (DK is at 94) since most of my alliance friends don't play anymore.

Heh, you're worse than I am. I've got one of every class on my server: three 100s, a 92, a 93, a 95, and a 96, and the others are below 60.

I'm spending a decent chunk of time doing the garrison management thing, but I've been doing a little LFR here and there, plus mount collecting, achievement chasing, etc.

And I've started playing the under 60 toons lately after a long hiatus, I've found my brewmaster monk and discipline priest to be quite fun, so I've been leveling them.

Over the course of Blackrock Foundry’s testing, we’ve made a handful of changes to encounter mechanics that are not currently being communicated in the Dungeon Journal. The Dungeon Journal will be updated with those changes in Patch 6.1, which is currently on the PTR, but we'd like to share those changes to minimize confusion.

Changes to the encounters that are already live, but not in the Dungeon Journal:
On The Blast Furnace encounter, Slag Pool is used on all difficulties; but the journal currently incorrectly suggests that it is Mythic only. In 6.1 the journal will accurately reflect that Slag Pool affects the Heart of the Mountain during Phase 2.
Hans’gar and Franzok’s Crippling Suplex ability no longer deals damage based on maximum health of the tank who was picked up. It deals a flat amount of Physical damage to both tanks who are thrown together. (663,500 damage on Raid Finder, 862,550 damage on Normal, 1,127,950 damage on Heroic, and 1,327,000 damage on Mythic)
Gruul will instantly regain 50 Rage if his Inferno Slice fails to hit at least 4 targets on Mythic difficulty.
Blackhand will regain energy after using Massive Shattering Smash if it fails to hit at least 4 targets.
Known issues that will be fixed in Patch 6.1:
When grabbed by Hans’gar or Franzok in advance of Crippling Suplex, tanks are currently unable to use abilities. They will be able to use abilities while grabbed in 6.1.
Flamebender Ka’graz’s Singe debuff currently appears as a dispellable magic debuff on unit frames. It is not intended to be dispellable; this display issue will be fixed in 6.1..
Edit: Added an additional note for Slag Pool during The Blast Furnace encounter.

Anyone play on Sargeras-US realm?

So, I finally got my first up-to-date epic (cloth shoulders) from scavenging the other day. I was so used to getting old-world epics that my first thought was, "Well... let's just see if it looks cool and I want to keep it for mogging." I was a bit curious when I noticed that the model was from WoD, "Wait a minute... this is an ilevel 655 epic!" Then I got an epic strength ring the next day.

Heh, you're worse than I am. I've got one of every class on my server: three 100s, a 92, a 93, a 95, and a 96, and the others are below 60.

I've got a... 100 Rogue, 100 Mage, 100 Warrior, 100 Warlock, 100 Death Knight, 100 Monk, 100 Paladin, 100 Priest, 100 Shaman and 100 Druid. Oh, and how could I forget the most important thing that I have... way too much time on my hands. My Hunter is level 80, but that's mostly because I never really enjoyed playing him. Heck, I leveled my second Shaman (awhile ago, I made duplicates of Druid, Shaman and Paladin to handle the specs that I couldn't play) to level 85 over the Hunter.

Gonna have to step up my game. My sub-90 classes are at 80 (warlock), 67 (rogue), and 31 (priest).

I don't think you want to be like me... the garrison management is hell!
