I honestly don't mind it. I just play to enjoy my time and collect bags of gold
I need to find myself a regular pug to enjoy it even more.

I think the valor reward is plenty good enough to keep people doing them.
Did it this morning. Second mini boss creates gaz patches and has a frontal thunderclap like ability.
I feel pretty lucky so far this tier of LFR. All my rogue needs is a dagger, another piece of tier, and maybe some boots and he will be as good as he can get outside of the new 516 loot (which I will keep trying for everyday, hopefully will get some weapons).
Oh don't worry about it, we did fine in there. That mini-boss does a lot of damage even when you aren't standing in the venom clouds. Might be something interruptable causing the damage, not sure.
My rage came from my other excellent heroic scenario story where I decided to try one on my Druid on a different server last night and we wiped because my companions kept standing in the lightning strikes in Stage 1. After we reset the stage and started over (who knew you could even fail it?!) I clearly said "Ok, this time don't stand in the lightning" only for BOTH of my dudes to get hit by the first lightning strike. I was like lolwtf and dumped them. Haven't had the best of luck with H scenarios on my alts so far, my rogue's groups have been fine though.

true, but people now know what works and what doesn't, they see they have it easier with a healer, so healers are looked for, especially since you aren't penalized in any way, timers are still very possible with 2 okayish dps and a healer
well maybe just my server idk how it is on others ^^
similar story here, although we made it
2 dps, they each died like 3 or 4 times on the lighting shit
I was just looking at my screen going "wtf guys"
Yeah, I had that fun experience with some guildies.
Apparently, they don't realize that "fire" or stuff like "Deathforce" quite literally means death.
(How people die from Deathforce is quite literally mind-boggling to me. Can they not run out of the bubble of death?)
Hell, some CC would be nice too, but I suppose not everyone has that mentality like me.
Pretty much. Good DPS is nice, but awareness and interrupts help a TON.
I'm not sure if this is intended or not... but i was standing AFK near the fortress where the orc general is for the part of legendary chain in Krasarang Wilds, and when i came back, my quest was complete. I never attacked him before going AFK. A group probably killed him while i was around and it somehow counted.
Well, i'm not gonna complain, that's for sure.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
They apparently nerfed the crap out of them, too. I did the quest the other day with 7 of us, and it was a joke. I probably could have solo'd him. he had less health and did less damage than a zandalari warbringer.

Ok, I need some advice.
I started at 85 on my Death Knight, and leveled him to 90 this past week, just doing quests in Pandaria, which I really enjoyed. Now I'm in that final area, doing the dailies. I also have gone to the Temple of the White Tiger, The Arboretum, and the Anglers area, all doing the dailies there.
I only have item level of 419, which means I can't do Heroics. What should I be working on exacly, to level that up? I've done some lower level Pandarian dungeons, just a few today, and have gotten a few upgrades, but I'm wondering if there's something else I should concentrate on.
Thanks!

If you've been working on Dread Wastes, you should be getting decent gear.
Also, do dungeons and get some more upgrades.
Also do Scenarios; they often drop 450-463 gear from the chests you get from doing a Random one.
You can buy 458 pvp gear really cheap on the AH. Also a ghost iron dragonling trinket (ilvl 450, gives you some nice stat boosts), and, any jp you have convert it into honor and buy epics. 476 crafted gloves/chest are pretty cheap nowadays too. Plus everything Ultra said.
Gearing is pretty fast nowadays!

I have a cd key fro WotLK that I accidentally purchased twice. I know almost everyone here has it already, but if anyone is in need of a key, feel free to pm me.
Warning: when I try and add it to my Blizzard account, it tells me it's part of a "free" thing, and denies my use(i already have the exp pack). So if you're willing to try it pm me.

Well, this was a welcome upgrade for my DK today:
http://www.wowhead.com/item=98314
With upgrades, that thing's pretty much on par (or slightly better) than a non-upgraded Normal ToT weapon.
I lose about ~200 Strength from not using my Sha Axe, but get a decent DPS boost.

Very lucky, my main goal in doing one every day is to get some daggers for my rogue. Would be pretty awesome compared to LFR stuff.

I wonder if this is a bug or intentional?
Probably intentional since GC tweeted about it. There really isn't any reason to have that restriction anymore, since starting at 55 is pretty irrelevant with as much content as we have to level through from that point.

I don't play WoW anymore but was dropping in and saw the DK stuff...did they ever announce plans for a new hero class?
LAUGHTREY
Modesty becomes a woman
They probably won't add a "hero" class, but they added monk.
Essentially all their plans for "hero" classes were dropped when they axed the hybrid class idea for Death Knights. Death Knights are essentially just another class, with their own specific perks just like any other. The only remnant is that they start at 55.
We'll probably never see another one.
I actually wouldn't be surprised if we saw another class that started at a higher level, personally. Monks daily buff just seems like a substitute for that anyway.
They mentioned they were gonna do it before.
I think it was mentioned sometime around 5.2 that they were thinking about removing it in the next patch.
(Assuming my memory is correct on that.)
It really does. :\
I mean, I can solo some of the Elites by myself, but it takes SO LONG.
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Death Knights starting at 55 is wonky as shit as it is.
It's buggy as fuck.
I really think we're more likely to see catch-up mechanics for new classes akin to Enlightenment before we have a class with a higher starting level again, especially since they don't seem too keen on letting other classes level that quickly.
Maybe, I was just saying I wouldn't be shocked or surprised if they did put one class at a higher level is all.
Also as a general question, anyone here ever messed with oQueue? I decided to install it and it's pretty overwhelming.

If I had a penny every time I heard that about something in WoW...
Yeah, no. Frankly not that much has changed, besides people in PVE gear not getting two-shot.
Do you mind elaborating? I'm not 90 yet so I haven't been able to try the PVP changes. But I'm very curious to see it for myself because there seem to be a lot of mixed opinions.
If thats the change people are crying about then lol. It's just like vanilla. People in PVE gear should be able to compete with people in pvp gear.
A lot of people are also complaining about the Conquest catch-up system, which raises the cap for every week in the season that they didn't cap.
...which is silly, because they still end up with less Conquest overall, and nothing changes for those who cap every week anyway. And at the end of the day, PVP still favors PVP gear, so the PVP veteran is still in a better place than anyone who's just starting to pick it up.
If anything pvpers are in a better place now than people in pve gear in battlegrounds. I decided to try out Deepwind Gorge on a character with no pvp gear. Yeah sure I didn't die as fast but I also couldn't do shit damage when I had 0% increased damage against people's 65% base reduced player damage.
We finished Dark Animus today, quite easily. Once we got everyone coordinated, it was a very easy encounter compared to LFR, which is just a monster because of all the Leroy Jenkins bullshit. It isn't remotely the same fight.
I don't know if it's the Indomitable Diamond, my cooldown usage, or the high Mastery I'm running with, but I'm taking 25% less damage on my Druid than our other tank is on his DK. I thought at first it was just fluke occurrences, but it seems to be pretty consistent. I'm mystified as to why, because he seems to be doing most things right. Is the diamond really that good?

Wouldn't surprise me to be honest, the dps melee gem is anywhere from 8 to 10% of my overall damage on fights. It is very powerful.
No. I mean, just looking at it mathematically, 25% less damage is far, far greater than 20% reduced damage on 33% uptime.
Blood is just built to take more damage than anyone else, because they're also built to self-heal more than anyone else. When you factor out the 8M additional self-healing he did, you're left with a mere 2M damage discrepancy that the healers had to cover, which probably is small enough for the meta to account for.

That sounds reasonable enough. I can self-heal a lot more than I did, but I kept SD and T&C up instead to smooth out the intake, because it's spike damage that gets us on Primordius. If I hadn't done that, we probably would've had pretty similar numbers.
