Storyline progression. There's some happenings in the Black Temple going on, related to the warlock questline that got pushed back. Akama's concerned
I am pretty happy with it as well, nothing was worse than sitting at the final boss seeing your chat logged spammed with requeing for the raid because people constantly turn it down. Have not had that happen at all since the patch on any of my characters.
I think blizz just doesn't make it well enough known that if you do the final boss without doing the others you have like a 99.9% chance to get a fresh instance the next time you que, may as well just do it because getting into instances half completed is something that will never be "fixable".
Uh... just popped in here for curiosity sake... but what on that spoiler? How?
For Viscidus, if you're unlucky enough not to have any sort of ability capable of Frost damage, there's some weapons in Storm Peaks you can buy that do Frost damage when attacking.
For Twin Emps, it totally helps to have something to reduce their healing (like Widow Venom, Wound Poison, or Mortal Strike). Otherwise, you have to outdamage the heals.
Yeah, I'm not sure how the Twin Emps glitch worked. I know the old solo strat with C'thun was to take Ouro with you so he'd port you out of the stomach when you got put in there.
Of course, since you couldn't kill the tentacles, it'd take a few hours to kill him. (Think I remember the DK that did it said it took him 2-3 hours.)

It is (or was) possible to glitch the pulls and not have to outdps twin heals or get ported to the stomach of instant death when soloing C'thun.
Viscidus was unsoloable without some source of frost damage.
The final boss is actually different every time. If you get the version that spawns Alemental adds and the DPS keep core hounding the boss, you will eventually wipe because they will heal the boss to full, and then the healer will eventually OOM on you.
Let's not mention the boss that puts ground damage all over the place and some people don't click on the bubbles and float to stay safe.
Although i guess that one can be hard to figure if no one tells you about it.

If you come out of the Silvermoon area where you appear when going from the Undercity teleport, running out into the Court of the Sun causes massive framerate loss and you see a phase you aren't meant to. Dozens of Silvermoon guards are fighting
. As you get close, they vanish and you enter the normal phase again.
what looks like sha
That makes sense. Though I haven't done all the new scenarios and such yet...
Isn't there big some to do in Dalaran with the Blood Elves not liking what Garrosh is doing similar to Vol'jin's stance? I know that Garrosh wants to control the Sha eventually. If the Blood Elves aren't with Garrosh then they're against him. So it wouldn't surprise me if Garrosh did get control of the Sha and send them after the Blood Elves...

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?
You can upgrade the stats twice. I think by the time you've upgraded an LFR-item twice, it should be stronger than the same item from normal mode.
I don't mean the pants or helm themselves, but the tokens bosses drop that you get to exchange for real gear.

Probably a bug.

Hahaha, that's hilarious! Yeah that's a bug.I don't mean the pants or helm themselves, but the tokens bosses drop that you get to exchange for real gear.
I've just been saying stuff like that forever
But he probably is coming back, considering all the stuff that's come out about his character in the last few years and how disappointing and random his downfall was. We also never decapitated him or anything, and he would be particularly interested in fighting against the Legion which is probably the focus of the next expansion.

Interesting. That would just be the Archeology stuff? Should work on the polearm too. And I wonder about the Inscription staves as well.
Haven't been playing, but I've been in the process of moving this past week so no time. Have crappy hotel internet until next week sometime. Do want to check out the 5.1 stuff, do some old raids, work on leveling the characters I was in the progress of.

Especially with the Hero Class Demon Hunter.

Raiders listen to me please.
Last night we did a few tries at Mogushan 10 man normal (only Stone Guards, we are a fresh guild). I was the main tank but due to the inexperience (does this word exist in english?) of the offtank we decided to switch the roles, because it is easyer to get the dog when it is alone rather than choosing between two. He is a 462 (quite low, i know, but we are a relax guild, everyone has the right to play obv) and i'm a 476. We used the macros (/target) and i was leading the tacts. A couple of times ,when we switched the dogs, a few moments later the dog itslef that he took from me (remember that i was aggroing it alone) came back to me! I didn't taunt it (obv taunt spell was in CD). I tought we tanks were too close each other and the threat level on the single dog was too damn high, can it be?
P.S.
Is there a macro like TARGET X + TAUNT or i have to set it on my keyboard?

Nah they wouldn't add another agility leather class. Honestly I'd be shocked if we got another class. But if they did add one I'd love to see the Shadow Hunter, but it wouldn't make any sense of how the Alliance would be trained in it as I believe only the trolls have knowledge of it, and it deals heavily with the Loas. But it has 3 set trees already, Healer, Caster DPS, and Ranged Physical! Basically I want to be Vol'jin.
Is there a website that has all the various weapon models on it to look through for transmog. Would rather not have to go through each weapon individually on wowhead.
Edit: Blizzard fucking blows at testing shit. Ran into 3 bugged quests so far while leveling, one involving CRZ & an escort quest, the other 2 involving them changing the model of the giant Shredder machines. Well there's 2 quests that require something that can no longer be reached on top of them. I mean... you changed a model, the first thing you should fucking check is that the quests involving them aren't bugged.

@Alethebeer
the only explanation I can come up with is dots
basically you have 100 threat he has 0, when he taunts he has 101, but while the dog is running to him your dots do dmg while he has done nothing yet, so when the taunt fixate thingy fades (3s or what it is) you are at 102 and he is at 101, making the dog run to you
the fix is to stand closer together not further apart, so that the other tank can hit the dog asap
no idea about macros, I usually just target the boss frames

Just download Mogit. You can easily compare weapon models in-game and see exactly how it will look for your outfit. Also the easiest way to find gear that might match what you are wearing, but isn't part of a set.

Ok thank you. The other tank is a brewmaster monk, i'm goint to say to pay attention to cooldowns and [keg smash] as soon as the dog comes to him. Because i remember that the dog went utterly in front of him: probabily he didn't target it and we have the bad luck that the multidot threat generator was on cd.
Been there, done that my friend.

Like, I'm risking a major ban every day I play nowadays. It's almost as if I really want to get banned (do I? I don't even know at this point).
Don't get yourself banned, not worth it.
Get a pillow or something that you can hit.

It's usually only the first few swaps for that fight that are delicate. As a Bear tank, I always Taunt + FF if it's up. gives that extra aggro buffer. After a while the main tank should have alot more vengance.

What? You have random admirers who just tend to give you random gifts <,<?

Finally got around to doing the new questlines/dailies yesterday on my main.
Man, they're pretty quick. I grouped with two other guys, and we had 'em done in like 5 minutes.
Also did Dagger in the Dark...
And somebody put out that poor Treant!

Can't help but feel Garrosh is being a hypocrite, since when Sylvanas used the Val'kyr to make new Undead, he got all pissed about her playing God. Then you find out his intentions at the end of the scenario with wanting to make the Saurok his own soldiers, and it just made me smh. I'm guessing at this point, Garrosh is slowly getting corrupted/already corrupted? Or am I thinking too hard about this?

The mail was empty so I guess he sent it to the wrong character, maybe to a bank.

Is there a good realm for level 70 pvp twinks? Fuck 85 arena its a joke I just wanna do 2s\3s on 70 twinks again.
Nobody said that demon hunters had to wear leather! Hell, every time we see them in-game they're barely wearing anything at all. If they ever did get added, I'd expect them to wear mail and be more of a cross between Illidan and the D3 style demon hunter, just because we need more classes that use bows.
Pet battle XP is back to normal! This mornings restart finally fixed the bug that caused the huge XP nerf. Though there appears to be one caveat, Pandaria tamer daily quests can no longer be dropped after the battle is finished. Some people were using this method for power-leveling pets since you could defeat a Pandaran Tamer, get the XP, drop the quest accept it again and battle for more XP again.
Ouch.
Not sure if there are any Ret pallies here, but question: Does HotR/Divine Storm not put censure up on the targets you hit? I know it used to, but not seeing it happen now.

Did they change something with Viscidus? Two days ago I tried but couldn't melee him enough times to break (I'm a Mage)
Oh and anyone from Area 52 here in a fun guild that actually does stuff? The one I'm in has been practically dead since a week or 2 after MoP came out
Yeah they made it so it only takes 30 hits for him to shatter and they extended the time before he thaws out.
Takes less frost hits to freeze, takes fewer physical hits to shatter (and you have longer too).

What class has easiest time soloing through old expansions content?
Also,
I have a mage 90 a lock 85 and a hunter at 70 but I really want to play something "in your face". Am tired of ranged stuff. I play mostly for fun and never really raided since vanilla. I love playing a bit of PvP but nothing serious.
Help me GAF
