Re: PC Hardware/Peripherals

Tier 0.5 wasn't meant for anyone who was raiding MC/BWL/AQ40 on a regular basis. It was meant for people who casually played and only did 5 mans and light pvp because if you had all the gear from dungeons there was were no upgrades for you. That meant you needed to start raiding or play another gam...

Re: PC Hardware/Peripherals

I had some spare lab parts laying around, so I'm using a single-socket 64-core EPYC 7742 with 256GB RAM and an RTX2080 graphics card. Quite possibly the stupidest computer to run a computer game on, let alone a 15 year old one.

Most of the rogues on my raid team are running all the dungeons right now to go back and pick up their T0 sets. Apparently T0.5 is going to be relevant for those guys and be part of their raid gear. I'm seeing quite a few fury warriors going back to collect their T0 as well, apparently the upgraded ...

Scarab Lord

Is anybody here going for it? We've been talking about this in my raid team for a while and have always had an idea to put in a bid for this thing. With today's announcement of Phase 5's July 28th release date, we are committing to it. We are the largest Alliance guild on the server, with 600 member...

Re: Boosting Culture

I am sprinkling in less boosting than I was expecting. I used a chunk of it through levels 20-45, but since 45 I've been mostly solo questing. I tried buying mara boosts but the guys I bought runs from weren't on, so I just started questing again. Then I tried buying some ZG boosts after level 50, a...

We've now seen 40 druids, 40 shamen, and now 40 paladins all clear MC. An MC raid needs a class that can heal, and that leaves one class left to solo clear this raid.

@Caperfin, I know you've written about the fabled Priest Tank before. It's your time to shine lad.

lmao did you guys all copy your characters over to the PTR from different servers to do this? I noticed you guys were passing flasks and other expensive pots like greater fire protection around for free like candy. Would also explain why you were all in the same guild, and all on the same server. I ...

40 Paladin MC Raid

our boys @caspus and @holyfrog just pulled off my favorite raid yet - the all paladin MC raid. They started off with about 30 people in the raid but finished strong with a full 40.

Huh. Someone in my guild told me they weren't adding AQ40 to the PTR at all! This is refreshing to know we might get some numbers beforehand. AQ40 isn't going to be released on the PTR. AQ20 is up there now, but blizz says they won't put the big AQ on it. We won't see AQ40 until it goes live for re...

omg Pip I just realized you're on Fair, but on the other faction :P If you ever want to PvP I pretty much have ownership of Blasted Lands.

You're on fairbanks? My main is a druid named Beardozer, I've been a tank for <Tempo> since launch. What guild are you with?

Queues are back

We're back into 1-1.5 hour queues again on Fairbanks

Really interesting because they flattened Fairbanks down to a single layer within a couple of weeks or so after they re-added them.

Anybody else's servers have queues that are getting out of hand again?

I sure hope so man. It doesn't bother me if bosses are going down quickly, or that most guilds are able to clear. As long as the majority of the raid isn't simple tank & spank and requires coordination and people paying attention, then I'm going to have fun.

lmao somebody just pointed out the last part of this to me: You may now enter a maximum of 30 unique instances (dungeon and raid) per day, per realm . That last part neuters the whole restriction. It is 30 instances per day per realm. This means that the bot simply needs to have 4 total characters s...

We're slowly getting feedback from players in AQ ptr and they are eliminating mechanics just because of the shear amount of dps. That's what happened with ZG. I did some basic prepping to lead our first raid into ZG, and it turned out that we didn't have to know anything headed in there. Just smash...

Re: How to Get to Searing Gorge - A Guide

I think it's going to be difficult for most people to hit 30 instances in a day without trying really hard. I main a bear tank and there are days when I live inside gnomer to farm maces, and I don't think I've hit more than 20 instances in a day. With a cap of 5 per hour, if you hit your 5 per hour ...

Yeah I worry about what kind of data they're collecting from their app. But the joke is on them, I don't carry a cell phone anymore anyway so they're not collecting shit.

I wonder how many guilds are going to be able to skip nature resist entirely on huhuran and just blast DPS. We're prepping for it to be a rough fight just so we don't get caught with our pants down, but I do wonder if we're pumping enough DPS to just melt her without worrying about the poison volley...
