Still quicker than the Galleon mushan even though I do it 5 times a week.

Fuck that drop rate. Gonna get 2 more 90s just so I can kill it 2 more times a week.

Killed Hexos second try. Why all the QQ? :D

Melee is probably much easier than ranged.

Pfft it was kinda hard with worse gear... had to deal with the maze a lot longer :p. Took me a lot of attempts in 5.2.

If anyone needs practice on Hexos, buy Super Hexagon! Game is so good and so evil. I've played it like 20 minutes total but it feels like an eternity.


Gah I really want to resub this weekend, but I don't even have my good PC handy. Bought a laptop last weekend (Surface Pro 2) and tried it with Diablo 3 and I just could not stand it after a while.... The keyboard was too small for my hands (and I have pretty small hands) and the screen was too small, and overall it was a bit choppy for some reason. Even though my mouse sensitivity was mapped proper in the menus, as soon as I went into a game it was really choppy. Perhaps the thing just couldn't really handle the settings I was using. It was cool to use as a tablet, but that was about it... and I could just buy a tablet if that's what I was going for. Either way, decided it was not the device for me and returned it before even bothering to try WoW on it. Fortunately didn't get charged a restocking fee.

Probably will just upgrade my PC next year or so. I pretty much just play Blizzard games and indie games on Steam so I don't really need a new PC yet. Plus the fact that they are making raids less of a spell frenzy by hiding some spell audio/visuals from other players.

Sooooo....

I started the tillers on alts. Because I want some more of that free farm loot.

Why am I doing the tillers on alts.

At least it's fast.

i have literally never done the tillers lol... outside of the initial quest i think.

i always just bought my shit, even when the expac was brand new.
just couldn't get into it.


in digging garrisons so far though, so we will see.
i like the atmosphere of the garrisons at least, as well as the multiple profession bonuses.
 
Only reason why I'm pursuing it is because it's like ~200g-400g passive income per farm each day. If I have it up on 2-3 other characters that's an extra 1000g+ each day with minimal effort.

Also I'm running out of meaningful things to do that aren't horrendously grindy, and I try to only work on one of those at a time (currently Molten Front).

Finally boosted my rogue.

I guess the current thing is Timeless Isle -> Heroics -> Raids (by iLvl)??? Already upgraded from pure greens to 4 purples running around for 30 mins last night on Timeless Isle... It didn't exist back when I got my first 90...

Timless isle, LFR. Heroic dungeon gear is obsolete for...months now.

I'm sure I'll be able to get some upgrade tonight and raid over the weekends. Are the Seige LFRs just as easy as the rest were?
Siege LFR is absolutely more difficult in my experience. I mean if you know the mechanics they're fine, but on the whole people mess up a lot more in Siege than previous LFR raids.

Hasn't been too bad, though. I'll sometimes have a wipe or two on like Malk or Garrosh, but most people seem to know what they're doing now that SoO has been out for a while.

What Laughtrey said. Don't need to bother with heroics. I may be remembering wrong, but I'm pretty sure I was able to do LFR as soon as I boosted my shaman. LFR / Timeless Isle will take you all the way up to 536 gear when upgraded. Can get into flex after that.
 
Just reached 88 with the shaman, it drains mana like a motherf....but still I am feeling burned out. Two more levels and the dungeons are not helping....
 
WOOOOO!

In a good mood. Downed both H: Sha of Pride and H: Iron Juggernaut progression tonight! Got a tier chest of Sha, which is my BiS.

Coined a Greatsword off Sha too, but I'm dual wield, so not much use at the moment.

So now we're 6/14 H.

so now that I'm raider rank, I'm eligible for hwf loot just as our other raiders would be.

i have around 11 dark shamans kills.
from these 11 kills has come 2 coined heroic war forged neck pieces and a ton of gold from coins.

i raid 25m.

the boss hasn't dropped the crit boots ONCE.
myself and the other fire mage in the guild have been clamoring for them, him especially since he passed on them the last time he saw them... about 19-plus kills ago lol.


these things don't exist.

also i realized i have the korkron jugg mount but i don't have the normal mode wolf mount, so now i gave to clear the instance on normal with my guilds alt group on my priest to get it =/

I guess it is asking for a lot, but I kind of wish towards the end of SoO, they'd either increase the drop rate on items or give you more bonus roll seals per week.

I'm pretty much guaranteed every trinket, protector token, etc because the only other agi is geared out. And yet, nothing drops, consistently. Unrelated: Can't wait to finish this Kalu'ak rep.

This is my plight with Norushen swords. And they're not even curved!

But seriously, haven't seen them actually drop in ages. The ones I do have are normal ones that I coined.

i have spent over 7k gold in reforges over the last 3 weeks.
no shame.

damn fire mages and their ridiculous amounts of build options.
and damn my itch for trying to min/max to the max.


now that I'm raider i could probably tone it down... but hell naw.


on that note..
i was debating on going arcane for a while.... then we got hit with the ptr build that allows us to upgrade each item 2 more times..


since i haven't been back long, i JUST got done upgrading my other stuff and was debating on upgrading my arcane set... the other fire mage in my guild was also upgrading his arcane set.

good thing they announced this shit mid raid, so we could save w.e we had left for the week lol. i didn't end up upgrading a single piece, but he had been upgrading as of last week, so thats 1k wasted valor =/

this change means that i am now locked into my primary spec... and since my arcane needs a good 7 items to fully upgrade... I'm pretty much locked into fire for months.

which i don't mind since it scales well (not as well as arcane, but I'm fine with it).
many of the other fire mages in the world are locked in as well.. however not as locked as i am, since most of them have fully upgraded arcane sets and haven't been back for 2 months lol.

eh I'm fine with it, but it would have been cool to at least try arcane before the 6.0 patch lol now if its strong ill be even more rusty at the spec, but at least i set up my UI for it, which helps a ton.

there are probably others in my exact situation.

im also under geared compared to everyone else atm, sitting at 576 (a high 576 but yeah), now that I'm eligible for war forged stuff, that should rise soon. (still got the heroic war forged dagger off of paragons the other night =D our arcane mage gave it to me, because he's awesome, he also gave me the heroic black blood).

onto of my ilvl being low for my situation, im still missing the heroic boots from shamans, not even war forged.. just the regular heroic lol, with those boots I'm heroic bis, with 2 HWF items, meaning there are TONS of upgrades left for me.
so as more war forged items come, those will need to be upgraded 4 times lol, then the replacement items to my ALREADY upgraded 4 times items, will need to be upgraded 4 times lol.....

not to mention if i ever get those boots... thats 4 upgrades right there and thats just upgrading my heroic protectors boots... then the HWF shamans boots might come along AFTER THAT.

making that 2 more upgrades for my protectors boots (non bis), assuming the shamans boots don't drop this week or the next and i don't get them if they do (which i should since i don't even have HWF boots and the other mages do, assuming the patch is out within the next 2 weeks), then 4 more if i get the boots, then 4 more if i get the HWF boots after that.
just an example lol i will upgrade my current boots last, just so i could hold off to see if shamans decide to not be assholes in the coming weeks.



i have a headache.
avoid everything i said lol.


tldr- upgrades suck, I'm going to be fire till WOD beta, which I'm cool with but yeah, damn yo.
i hope everyone else locked in their specs lol, or at least those who are semi in my situation in terms of being valor starved. (capping valor every week for 2 months since I've been back, currently have 610 saved up for the patch, which I'm assuming will be here within 2-3 weeks, meaning ill have around 6 upgrades day of)

technically, this wouldn't be an issue for everyone, but i like to be the best that i can be, and currently, my fire set heavily outgears and out upgrades my arcane set, so i don't want to fall behind even farther than i am now.
especially when i just started to catch up.

but i love my main spec, as previously stated, so I'm fine =p
just wanted to give my other specs a try so I'm less rusty, technically i haven't played them in a year lol, but am up to date on everything, including optimal builds etc. as i should be.

my class has had a history of having to play a specific spec for a tier then swap the next, and sometimes the swapped spec hadn't been played in 2 tiers, or was just completely different, so everyone was rusty.
best example would be t14 arcane after the combustion nerf.

and since we are getting changes in WOD (not too many in terms of our core gameplay tbh), i feel many will be rusty anyway, especially the other fire mages who have played the spec this tier and nothing else.

Im so fucking done with the community in this game now...

i had the scenario were you have to escort some pandaren chick, all went well in the beginning, but then when the escort part began the two others mounted up and just went for the end and then stood there, ended up aggroing every mob and dying.

And not a word from the other two.

I said fuck it and left.

It's not just worth it anymore.

LFR and LFD has turned players into assholes

Yo I'm doing this farm shit on like 4 characters simultaneously. Why am I forcing myself to do this? Not quite sure, but hopefully it pays off.

On the plus side, it shouldn't take more than a week to hit exalted with all of them. Commendation too strong.

It's weird seeing people without heirlooms while I'm leveling my rogue. Not only seeing people without them but seeing many people without them. I guess there are still people that don't do end-game content in WoW.

....Or the more morbid suggestion, they're bots.

So as an enhancement shaman, Am I suppose to have four spells on the bar? Am I doing it wrong?

Thought I would try it out. Since I got a shit load gear tokens from Timeless Isle.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!

Enhancement shamans have like 3 full bars of abilities. You are definitely doing it wrong.

Wowhead updated their profiler so you can see how your character's stats will be in 6.0.

http://wod.wowhead.com/list

Pretty neat to look at the new stats gear will have. I love the item squish.

Gotta check out my characters when I get a chance to log them in.
 
Had some good progress on H: Dark Shamans and H: Nazgrim. Didn't get them down, but we should nail them next lockout. Just need a bit more practice. Still, 2 new bosses this week is pretty good regardless. 3 or 4 would have been incredible.

so i have weak auras for my trinket procs but not the icd. how can i get them to show the icd after the proc is over? or if anyone has a pastebin of a weakaura that does that already that would be great. purified binding and frenzied crystal are the trinkets.

started my fresh 88 hunter on the timeless worms. about an hour later and im just over halfway to 89. i have a question about the stat squishing. so what happens to all the older gear? they get the same treatment?

There needed to be a statsquish but this seems like WAY too much of one. How much difference will there be between a 463 blue and 580 epic? Like 10 strength?

Of course it is absolutely everything. How would it work otherwise?

At 90? My bars are literally overflowing with abilities and totems.

A few I barely use, but there's a shit ton of stuff I need on there. Definitely more than my hunter.

Let me know if the crit boots drop on your first shaman kill so I can be sad.

The shit that never drops for me always drops for Other peoples first kills lol .

Also got dang I'm going to have a shit load of crit and mastery if that item converter is accurate, sweet.

Hmm, I haven't used that in a while..but man, the stats, so small. >.<

Also..I can't seem to find how much damage I will do.

I repeat my recommendation of before to Blizzard. Let me queue for a LFR on one character while playing another. When the queue pops just switch me over to said character when I join. I'm doing some ToT LFRs for my Shaman to get bis for CM carries, and I have virtually nothing to do on this character while I wait up to an hour.

Let me get on my Hunter and work on my Shado-Master achievement. Or something. Anything.

This is sorta what I'm beginning to wonder.

I'm all for a squish in numbers, but I'm just interested to see how it'll work out across the board.

So far, it seems like it'd make your Primary stats way more valuable than before.
(i.e. Making Strength, Intelligence, and Agility points that much stronger?)
 
Is "Do a Barrel Roll" soloable? It's the last achievement I need for the firelands mount. My DK needs it, my warrior, my hunter and my Paladin. So I can do it on any of them, it's the only thing missing. Suggestions?
