How much HP does the world boss version of Garrosh have?
(As an aside: I remember being slightly amused - although I did note the logic - that it was possible to get the "Stood in the Fire" achievement - to get killed by Deathwing - *in* the raid, when the way to get it prior to that was to encounter him attacking a zone and, well, stand in the fire. I wonder if it's possible to get "Death to the Warchief!" in SoO?
And, for that matter, and a very pressing query: In SoO, can you fish?)
Sadly if this is your only character, you don't have many options. The mounts you'll find at the auction house will be crazy expensive, and the others are out of reach to a level 60.

You could always get it from Dragon Soul. Saw it gotten so many times from LFR wipes on spine.
heh I remember being one of those people pre-cata that was zomg I've never seen him fly thru a zone I was zomg he is a myth until the very end.
but typical blizzard to give away this achive in that manner allowing to get from raid.
Yes, but my point was that the *original* means of getting the achievement (Get hit by one of Deathwing's random raids on a zone) was augmented by a new, and completely different means (Die to the final two bosses in Dragon Soul) - but was still true to the actual stated goal of the achievement. That's not insignificant, and makes me wonder if Death To The Warchief will function similarly - logically it *should*, at least, even if the intent behind it is a bit different.
I've logged into it like once or twice in the past few months.
(No)
I haven't seen one.
Did anyone here get into the beta?

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
The duel against Wrathion during the legendary chain was quite hard with my mage. I defeated him and i think i only had like 5000 hp left. The fight would be much easier if it wasn't for the adds.
Hopefully the melee DPS/healer duel will be a little easier once i get there with my Holy/Ret paladin. Which one should i do?

Melee dps one is kinda hard but a ret paladin can cheese the fight.
Repentance him until hoj is off cooldown, hoj burst for 5 seconds, repentance him. While killing adds the entire time.

I tried the melee challenge with my warrior and didn't go far. The oozes Wrathion spawn (this ability can be interrupted though) were definately the biggest problem as they hit very hard and are quite fast. The fiery zones randomly spawned together with the disadvantage you have if you are standing/moving in front of Wrathion doesn't help either. I couldn't finish that challenge so I moved on to the tanking challenge which is much easier. Though I think it shouldn't be too difficult with the melee challenge if you have got good enough self healing abilities.
I found it quite easy *shrug*
The key point of the ranged fight is to avoid the adds while attacking Wrathion from behind.

Got a question about upgrading for 5.4. I want to get to 496 so I can do the new raid content. I resubbed yesterday after a glorious 9 month break. I'm sitting at 460 now.
Any suggestions on getting up to 496 without raiding old content? Is Shado Pan still the best VP vendor in 5.4?
This is what I read in the patch notes
I have 3000VP, 2300JP and 4000Honor stashed away as well as a bunch of cash. My concerns is that I have more VP than JP, but other than Shado Pan, most stuff will cost JP. There is also no way I can get my rep up before the patch drops either, so I need to wait.
My other question is is there anything I should be buying now or just wait for the patch and try to gear up that way. If I am waiting, can someone recommend some good upgrades so I don't waste my points. Thanks!

Hmm...well, it's up to you I guess. Patch isn't that far off now.
The normal rep gear is 489, and with all that being converted to JP, they should be pretty easy to get.
Shado-Pan Assault has 522 stuff, but you won't have much available at first. The neck you can buy at Neutral will help a lot, so grab that.
With the rep requirements falling after the patch, getting most of that gear will help boost your ilvl a lot.
There's no extra VP vendor in 5.4 (that we know of), so they're still the best.
Another alternative after the patch hits is the Timeless Isle which has tokens that can generate 496 gear and be further upgraded to 535.
Edit: Also forgot Heroic Scenarios; They may give you a 516 piece. There's also a one-time quest that gives you a guaranteed one for beating a HS.
You need a 480 ilvl to queue for those though.
Keep in mind the SoO LFR stuff probably won't be out for a week or two, and even then, the release of its wings will be staggered.

Source?
Isn't this the ending of the current pvp season? Though it has always been that end of pvp season means new patch incoming there is no assurance that the days are the same. Am i wrong?

Ok, I don't think I knew that. Thanks. I'll go check out Wowhead. Fucking Blizz, as if the rep stuff wasn't confusing enough!
Want to get Ol' Crafty?
lol. I got ganked a lot getting that one. Found a good elevated spot near a waterfall where not many Horde would see me and that worked out.
There is no "5.4 valor gear" unless Blizzard pulls a last minute switcharoo. There are 496 epics on the Timeless Isle which you can upgrade to 535s somehow, so that will be the best non-raiding gear.
My suggestion would be to stick as close to the valor cap as you can so you're prepared for the patch and otherwise get the shado-pan assault neutral stuff now and try to hit 480 so you can go to ToT LFR to earn more reputation for it and to open up Heroic Scenarios which can give you 516 items. Also if you have some money saved up, look into the craftables, the pieces requiring Blood Spirits should be somewhat cheap now. Pick up a 502 weapon from a blacksmith if you're loaded or if you know someone with an excess of Lightning Steel Ingots.
You will be able to. They're not going to get rid of the valor upgrade guys this time around , there'll also be no new valor items.

Blizzard took out VP because they're still on the "grind dailies" kick.

The PVP season wouldn't continue into a patch where all the classes are changed dramatically. If anything the patch may release later than the 27th, no chance of it being before.
Am I correct in assuming that the quickest way to level to 90 is to use the Random Dungeon Finder, then the Raid Finder option? Gives pretty good experience. Also, someone mentioned something about heirlooms, but I've no clue what they are/do/where to get them. Any help for a newbie?

Raid Finder is for max lvl only.
I found that the quickest way to lvl up is doing quests in the recommended zones (if you're lvl 24, do quests in a lvl 20-25 zone, then switch once you hit lvl 25 for a 25-30 zone) and use the dungeon finder once in a while. I usually only use the random dungeons tool when all the (yellow name) dungeons are new, then switch to specific ones that i haven't done the quests yet.
Heirlooms are gear you buy with your high lvl character that you can do send to your low lvl alts so that they can lvl faster, since their stats are as good as blue items and have +5% or +10% extra XP attached to them. These items also automatically adjust their stats according to the lvl of the character using them, so you pretty much wear the same chest/pants/helm/shoulders/cape/weapon from lvl 1 to 85.
Ah thanks. The Raid Finder says it unlocks at level 85, but okay. And well crap, all I have is the level 60 hunter, and a 58 death knight (it was a chore getting there *groan*) on another server.
Ah thanks for the info. Feels like I started the game too late, seeing all the 90s running around (and killing me when I try to quest, stupid PvP server) and all the flying mounts everywhere. ;__;

Ooh, that's got to be tough now. At least the servers are all pretty quiet lately. It will only get worse with x-realm is my guess. But if you have the time, leveling via dungeons helps.
Oh... PVP server? The dungeon finder might be better than quests then. At least you'll avoid getting ganked and camped by bored high lvls.
But believe me, even if you started playing 3-4 years ago, you would still be getting ganked by high lvls and their flying mounts just like today.

Just took the portal to the Blasted Lands. Died instantly and watched 5 others meet the same fate thanks to a camping lvl 90 mage. Bleh. The price you pay for wanting to play on the second most populated server (Illidan).
Anyone want to add me? PM me! I only have two other people who play, and they're on different servers, so it gets kinda boring when they're offline and I've no one to talk to.

But I used the key already. :/ I never get into beta's, so this is a great day for me to finally get something.I'm an expert
