The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
It's pretty much best trinket for all casters, ESPECIALLY ele shaman.

For comparison, Thok's Tail Tip (the STR version of the same trinket), even the LFR one, is only slightly worse than the Heroic Warforged STR trinket off Paragons.

Okay I got my one trinket, but bonus rolled item doubles twice in a row. FML.
I don't think anyone's ever mathed out LFR drops, but based on entirely anecdotal evidence 25%-33% seems to be in the ballpark for personal loot. About seven to eight people typically get Garrosh heirlooms every week in our 25, anyway.
Well then, I feel pretty damn lucky. My shaman has been getting drops like crazy since hitting 90. I catapulted up to 518 iLvL within a week and a half. Nearly every boss I've killed has dropped something, and when I use my bonus roll I've been lucky enough to get another item on top, not even a duplicate.
On the other hand, my warrior has gotten nothing but gold even with bonus rolls. I just got the Avengers Trillium belt and leggings though so at least she's got something. Is it worth spending gold on a Reborn weapon from the AH? I really need an upgrade as the best I have right now is the 450 sword from the Arena scenario
Try to get 20000 Timeless Coins. You can buy a 489 2h weapon that way. It doesn't take that long... just hunt for rares and chests, kill Evermaw and the Ghost ship as much as you can since they both drop over 1000 coins, and do the daily 20 elites for another 1000 coins every day. The first few non-daily quests on Timeless Isle can be enough to start you around 5000 coins.
Yeah, most figures I've seen online give a 25% drop rate for items in LFR/Flex. Heirlooms are a bit muddier.
Assuming 2H weapons, every single T16 wing's end boss has a strength-based 2H weapon. Run those (4 shots), and roll the two you like most (only two, since you should be rolling Celestials always), and that gives you six opportunities at an ilevel 528 weapon. There's basically no point in even going for T14 or T15 weapons if your ilevel is high enough to queue for T16, and even less of a point to buy a Reborn item because they're equal to T15 LFR, unless you like the skin for transmog.
Edit: I do agree that for a weapon to use in interim, Timeless's updated 489 is not a bad choice. Coins are easy to come by, and you don't spend thousands of gold on something quickly replaced.

Still torn between my Lock and the new Mage. Both have their virtues, but I really only have the time/patience to gear one of them.
If you can, get a PVP weapon. The PVP gear is a good stepping stone to PVE. The 522 honor weapons will be better than Timeless/ToT LFR.
Cool, thanks for the info from you guys. I'll definitely be doing those suggestions instead of spending 10k on the reborn wep.
483.
I have been getting my paladin carried through SoO for 3 weeks now and have yet to get a single drop. It makes me not even want to bother.
I think most people would gladly take your spot being carried.
Higher level zones look better, and WoD is adding in better character models.
What race are you?

Approved as trial for new guild, woo!
Gotta go through all the motions of dropping current guild and the like later tonight though.
Kind of a tough break as I'd rather it not have come to this, but what can you do when the leadership decides to suspend raiding until WoD? Couldn't have predicted that.
And part of it is I'm not nearly as burnt out on the content as others would be, having only come back to the game in late December. That's 3-4 months more SoO that they'd have done if they started with the patch. Now I myself might be burnt out in 3-4 more months, so it's certainly understandable, but I couldn't stay when I'm chomping at the bit to work on at least some heroic encounters.

Please tell me it's not a male human.
If for some reason it is, congratulations (or rather, my condolences), you picked the worst player model currently in the game.

Damn, I only have done a few quest can I delete character and go with something else?
Did some Normal SoO last night with a semi-random group.
Everything actually went way better than expected. Went 10/14 on bosses and only had two wipes.
(1st one on Dark Shaman, where everything fell apart towards the end of the fight, and another on Spoils where one group got wiped out completely.)
Sadly, I didn't get any loot...stupid bosses weren't dropping anything I needed and Bonus Rolls kept giving me gold.
It's a ridiculously good trinket.
I love it on BM and Surv, since you get faster Bestial Wraths and Black Arrows (the latter is kinda iffy, but you can fire a Black Arrow off before it runs out and add about 2 sec to the duration).
Also lets you get off more Stampedes and Rapid Fire (which along with the T16 2-piece set, it's friggin' crazy).
I got that and the Ticking Ebon Detonator on my Hunter.
With everything going off all at once, my opening burst is ridiculous.

Oh sure. You can just roll another character (up to 11 per server). You don't have to delete necessarily (though you can if you want). You're hardly into the game at all so any progress is inconsequential.
Play around with the character creation a bit, see what you like. Experiment.
Humans and most of the original 8 races have aged pretty bad. They are getting updated for WoD.
Blood Elfs and space goats are better, but still old.
Worgens and Goblins are much better.
Pandas are the best.
I really can't decide on how I want my UI. I mostly use default with a few tricks here and there, but I'm trying to have a good way to watch my Energy and Chi. But most the addons seem really obtrusive. And I never know if I actually think that or if it's just because I'm not used to the change.

I use Nug Combo Bar for all combo point (and similar) mechanics. Not sure if there's anything else out there quite the same. You could certainly set up WeakAuras to do the job, but that's a bit overkill.
I wouldn't feel bad if I were you. We called it for raiding at the start of this year since 5 wanted to quit and only 5 wanted to keep going. A few of the ones who did want to keep raiding left the guild and there's no hard feelings, gotta do what you gotta do. I got burnt out from SoO really quick... 9/14H and there was no will to continue. Sometime I just need a break. Thinking about just being casual and doing flex/normal (new normal/heroic) in WoD. I still love the game, but I think I get too caught up in it sometimes.
I used NugEnergy and NugComboPoints in Cata when I was maining a Rogue, but I mained Monk during all of MoP and didn't use energy/chi addons. I guess with Rogues I felt like I needed it since it was always build to 5/spend (or 4 sometimes with Mut), but with Monks I wasn't really capping Chi much so I didn't need a bigger tracker. I just used default player frame but moved to the upper right area of the bottom left quadrant of the screen, if that makes sense.
I'm not quite sure where my guild's raiding currently stands. I know I took a break. Half the raid leadership hasn't killed a boss since early Feb, and my raid leader hasn't downed a new heroic since I left.
I just got horribly burnt out. Running Flex and Normal SOO initially on one toon, then LFR and Flex on another while I'm doing heroics on the first....that's a lot of SOO to run.

I liked the Warlock tier 6 better when the proc was random.
Especially since it could happen when you were a corpse, and it reminded me of this scene from Jeepers Creepers.

Damn. Did you solo it? What class and item lvl?Decided to attempt H. LK 25 tonight, got it on my 3rd try. Way less frustrating than Yogg-0. No mount though
Ret pally 553 w/ cloak. I hit the enrage timer on my 2nd try, and beat it with a minute to spare on my second try. I'd say I'm about average skill level.

You recall what sort of DPS you had at the end of the fight? And is it more of a DPS race or is it tricky to stay alive as well? Curious how I'd do as an enhance shaman. I'm not quite up to the same ilvl yet but I'm climbing up there fairly quickly.
Edit: And is there some trick to get past the healing boss solo?
I guess I just suck then 'cause I can't do it on my 564 hunter =[
No trick, per se... just heal the boss a lot and make sure to kill supressors. It generally is unfun though, I recommend going healing spec and brining a friend along to make it less painful.
Do you die or not make enrage? Ret Paladins have much better self healing than hunters so no reason to feel bad. There are prob some good video guides for hunters on youtube, check em out! Here is one I found with a lot of views.
New Dev Watercooler up, it's about health pools and healing.
I really like the sound of some of these changes. Deleting the low mana, high efficiency heals that never get used anymore (though they were fun at the start of Cata), adding cast times to some instants to reduce the number of instants, and making heals heal for less of overall HP.
It seems like the intent is that people will spend more time at hp % between 100 and 0, rather than usually at one of the other. Sounds cool to me, gives more options for which heal to use and when. I'm getting pretty excited... actually want to main my Shaman as Resto again next expac. Though I know I can't resist tanking so we'll see haha.

That reminds me of the 300k mana cap, why?
I loved my mage having twice the mana than her health
RIP Monks

Errbody gonna die.
Smart heals, hybrid heals and absorption have every place in a game with combat that guarantees X-amount of damage per second to players, with enough spike damage that can kill a player at any moment.
If they do good on their promise to get rid of the latter, we can talk about removing the former.
