the sunwell trash really isnt that bad, theres like 30 min of trash before Kalec, 2 pulls Between Kales and Brut, ZERO trash between Brut and Felmyst

after Felmyst there is a gauntlet that takes like 30-depending on how you run it, really not that hard, after Twins there are like 6 pulls of trash till you are at Muru, its slightly harder trash but it takes like 10 min

After muru theres 2 pulls then you are at KJ

That's not bad at all... I mean I could see how you'd rather just have a straight shot at the boss at the beginning if you cleared the trash the day before. BWL wasn't bad for trash either... heck, they took the trash and put it into the first boss fight :laugh:. Most was between Vael to Lashlayer and Flamegor to Ebonroc. The latter being the most annoying with those fucking goblins. I never went to many AQ40 or Naxx runs so I don't know them well, but the trash before Skeeram wasn't bad as long as you know how to kill the Anubisaths properly and could kill the Obsidian Destroyers while keeping their mana down or knowing to GTFO when they're about to blow.

the AQ40 Trash was horrid, the later stuff, mobs that mindflay for a fuck ton and then the trash after HuHu was annoying as hell, then the worst trash in the game between Twins and Cthun

Naxx trash wasent bad at all it was split up well between the 14 or so bosses

Good thing I quit after Sartura then 😛. Was going to join a different guild after getting tired of the overall group leader being a self-serving little twat and collected all the nature resistance gear necessary for Huhuran only to never hear anything (and later hear from a friend that one of their rogues didn't like me so they wouldn't let me join... but they never told me ~_~). Those fuckers, I still hold a grudge for that and now that I play Horde and they came back from Earthen Ring, I will keel them :evil:.

dbl priestess pulls FTW

It's not really all that bad at all unless you are still on M'uru and have to clear it 3 times a night. Nothing worse than a 1% wipe and getting stoked for the next attempt only to hear someone say "trash is up".

MT: I'm sheeped!!! IM SHEEPED!!! .... IM STILL SHEEPED! *snicker while high fiving the other healers/cleansers in whispers*

What can I say, we try to keep it interesting so we don't kill each other after 20 attempts on M'uru. Half our holy healers dps the demons, consecrate tank the imps, randomly BoP the melee who is highest on the meters, etc...

The raid night hasn't truly begun until the MT dies on a trash pull.

As a pally healer the trash I hate the absolute most are the damn hawk groups before Alar's room, or generally anything that interrupts and sends me flying.

lol, that's hilarious... my guild would have a heart attack... i must roll a healer so that I can do this.

 

[Anubis]

our guild does stuff like thatas well, i was knows to cast unstable affliction on myself in BT when i was AFF off those mobs that spell reflected and then kill/silence healers 😀

casting Seed on MCed guild members is also fun

WOW.... our guild is moving servers. the leaders just posted. I'm going to copy and paste the post. I wanted to know what you guys thought. I'll reserve my opinion, but I would of liked to see a vote..... here it is:

"As you guys know, we have been struggling to get raids off lately. This isn?t the first time, and it won?t be the last if we continue going as we are. Every time this happens, we try to pull together and rebuild, take a huge step backwards in progression and try to start fresh. The problem is that because of the one thing that makes us stand out on this server (late night raiding) we have severely limited our recruiting pool. We have been considering all of our options over the last several months, and feel that it is in the best interest of the guild to move to a west coast server. It will open up our recruiting options since we?ll have a lot more people in the right time zone for our raids. Raids will still be at midnight Dalaran server (Eastern) but will be at 9:00 on the new server, Moonrunner.

This will also be beneficial after the expansion. As most of us know and have experienced, expansions turn the game upside down. Guilds breakup, people have new priorities, etc. Being on a west coast server will give us the opportunity to roll with the changes more easily due to the more reasonable raid time and allow us to rebuild more efficiently.

Moonrunner is very similar to Dalaran in progression and economy. They have fewer guilds and only one other late night guild at our level of progression or higher, that starts invites an hour and a half before we do.

With the transfer, we want to push to see more content by becoming a more hardcore raiding guild. We will have stricter policies on attendance and an eventual increase in the number of raiding days (4-5). We will put into place a new system of Full Time vs. Part Time raiders that will allow us to more fully reward the most consistent raiders and hold individuals more accountable for their contributions to the guild and raids. Everyone that transfers will start off as Part Time raiders and will keep that position for three weeks once we begin raiding 25-mans again, giving us time to determine who our Full Time raiding core will be, with a 75% raiding requirement (up from our current 50%). Ranks will not be changed weekly, but will be a set number of open positions (likely 20) with benefits such as loot priority, certain raid items from the bank, and possibly a weekly allowance of repair gold from the bank. There will also be more stringent requirements about knowing fights, showing up to raids prepared and on time with the proper consumables and knowing their expectations, with diminishing DKP if expectations are not met.

Because we are essentially starting a new guild on Moonrunner, we will be resetting DKP. We want to be fair to those we recruit on the new server, and feel that we will quickly regain our DKP and our standings, based on attendance and raiding status. We also will be renaming the guild, and would love suggestions that will later be voted on, from those of you who will be transferring with us.

We know all of this is coming as a shock to you guys, and we want you to know this decision was not made lightly. Everyone is getting noticeably frustrated with our lack of raiding and our inability to effectively progress. We?ve been hitting our heads against walls trying to figure out how to pull together and prevail. With that said, we would like to open up the option to transfer to our veteran members and to our new guild members who have similar goals and are willing to commit to doing what it takes to become a top guild. We know that not everyone will be willing or able to transfer, and as a group of officers, we respect that. We also hope that those of you willing and able will also respect the decisions of those unwilling or able, and vice versa. Nightwalkers guild will still remain on the Dalaran server so will still be a home to those that wish to stay and for the alts of those only wanting to transfer their mains.

We will be starting our pre-recruiting on August 1st to fill the open positions, and hope that most of you will be able to have made your decisions by that point in time. We have very high hopes for the future of Nightwalkers and so far, have gotten a very good feeling about our ability to be back up and running with minimal down time. We ask that all of those that will be transferring servers with us do so by August 14th.

We?re sure you guys have a lot of questions surrounding this move and we?ll answer them the best that we?re able to. "

===========

Sorry for the long post.

I dont really see this solving our problem... the reason we dont have raiders is because people see the expansion on the horizon and dont see why they should be raiding 5 nights a week to get stuff that will be replaced 2 levels into the expansion.

you would be supprized at the number of people that still want to raid even tho the xpac is coming up

guild moves are hit or miss, some work some dont, the guild i used to raid with on Skullcrusher was a xfer guild from some other server, we started in SSC and TK and went strong up untill 5/5 MH and 5/9 BT (all pre nerf) then shit hit the fan, people left, they rebuilt and now they are in sunwell

Asimo on Azuremyst if you want to armory me

I am thinking of respeccing, any tips on what to do? I have always been 41/20 or 41/0/20 because it does well in PVE and still decent in PVP. After all the shadowstep changes I hear it is the top.

What should I do or what gear should I aim for?

you want to spec shadowstep if you are just PVPing its pretty god damn overpowered

haha I'm doing 800dps with shadowstep spec and competed well up through lurker.

 

[dartworth]

hmm...never played WoW

thinking about trying it...

should I? what is the best way to start?

 

[lupi]

Find a medium to high pop server in your time zone, decide on PVE or PVP, then d/l the trial and play for free for 10 days.

For a first timer the leveling up can be pretty addictive and is not entirely representative of what happens at max level.

 

[dartworth]

what is PVE or PVP?

 

[lupi]

PVE means opposing faction can very rarely attack you.

PVP means that in most areas of the game you are able to be attacked on sight.

I am sure they both have pros and cons...

 

[lupi]

having leveled in both and given how much end game emphasis is being placed on pvp (not that all agree or like it) I'd say try pvp. You'll get to about level 20 before you start to go where the other side can attack you and a majority of the time if they are about the same level as you the ignore you, it's those max level guys walking around that can kill with a single attack that ya have to worry about.

Plus if you get a guy to max you like but then want to change, you can pay to go from pvp to pve, pve can't go to pvp.

 

[rh71]

^ I also agree with PVP. I've leveled 70s on both and it seems to me the PVE servers are extremely dull other than for going raiding at night. The battleground queues are longer and it seems there's little to do. For instance I want to play my resto druid more (because healing is a nice change) but he's on the PVE server so mid-day I can't even play him to raid (not enough on and nobody really raids mid-day) and I'm not up for waiting 6-10 minutes at a time just to get into a battleground (AV) - the honor vs. time spent altogether is simply not worthwhile. I could be playing one after another on the PVP server (too bad I don't have a healer there). My PVE server characters sit untouched 95% of the time I'm playing WoW, unfortunately.

There's also something to be said for being on a PVP server and having to watch your back everywhere you go. It makes things MUCH less mundane. PVE server drives me to complete boredom, even though my real-life friends have the characters there. That should say enough.

 

[dartworth]

what is "raiding" all about?

A 10 or 25 player group (used to be bigger back in da day) going into a dungeon to beat a boss or series of boss monsters. this is where the highest level pve equipment comes from.

 

[Worthington]

I'd vote for PvP as well. Sometimes it can be amazingly frustrating since you will get just crushed by ???s running in lowby areas, or triple teamed but over all it definetly adds another dimension to the game. I still remember the first horde I killed in world PvP (not that it was that long ago. Only been playing for 6 months or so).

oh, and btw: IGN:Vayyde, 70 NE rogue on Lightninghoof.

 

[nanobreath]

See I'd vote PvE. Yes I'm a carebear that likes to be able to play the game without interferance. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to level and getting ganked over and over. It can REALLY kill an evening you had planned to spend in WoW. Some people enjoy the challenge. I prefer not needing a bodyguard to level.

Easily one of the best things you can do is ask around to see if any of your other friends play. Most of the have probably mentioned it if they did. Go play with them 🙂

HOLY SHIT TIME TO BUY LOTTO TICKETS

finially after running ZA 2x a week since last november i finally see Hex Shrunken Head drop

 

[Baked]

So I just took a look at the L80 talent tree for Hunter... my head exploded. And I haven't even checked out Hunter Pet talent tree and Druid L80 tree yet. There's so many changes to digest, I think I'm gonna wait a few months after WotLK is released before I get back in the game for the quests.
