Reforging seems ridiculous to me when there's only four secondary stats. Re-introduce some stats to the game & sure (this will never happen).

Any of you guys paying with game tokens? It seems like with the mobile app and some 850 followers I can make 2K - 3K a day just by tapping on my phone, more than enough to pay for a game token each month. But if I am paying monthly on CC now, if I add a game token will it skip my next CC payment and use the token? Or do I have to cancel my CC payment for the token to be used instead for my sub?

I pay with tokens and it keeps pushing the next time the subscription will attempt to take funds back 30 days for each one. The game just dumps so much gold at you I have no idea how anyone actually pays for this game anymore.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I use tokens. It still hurts seeing my wallet dip by 35-40k a pop. Having less than 6 digits worth of gold makes me feel inadequate.
 
Finally, I abandoned my clan, dudes were laughting about I couldnt kill Ursoc, asked for help they didnt want to help and started to do random stuff. Screw them

Ah awesome. I wasnt being a dick, I legitimately didnt know what you were on about lol. GZ, im on a bit of a shit streak with hidden arts lately (mistweaver wont drop from dragons, brewmaster wont drop from the class hall clicky thing, and now on druid I didnt even get the clicky thing class order hall upgrade because I didnt know lol)
 
I've definately come to the conclusion that Vault is the most likely pug run killer in high Mythic+.

There were 2 guys boasting how great they are before the run started and already I could tell it would turn to shit. At first boss 2 die immediately to the eye beam (including healer) and we need to wipe, at second boss getting the adds down fast is cryptonite to some DPS, the boss teleported a second time before the last caster add was down and killing the melee add took forever. We barely made it which is surprising considering it's necrotic and all.

And then there is the last boss where it feels anything can happen, tanks need to be super careful with that last kick she does when the walls are up.

All the while it feels Maw of Souls is impossible to fail until +10 hits.

That's funny, I keep getting Vault keystones. I don't like that >_>

Arcway and Vault are torture.

They're two of the easiest ones. Arcway bosses are not threatening in the slightest, and while the trash is pretty packed, with careful pulls & planned interrupts its a pretty easy one to get through. VotW has prettty much no relevant trash, and none of the bosses 'cept the second (which I hate) are too much to worry about either.

Bro fist for second boss hate. That and the hydra in eye (also the second boss, or well, depends on the order) are my bane. I agree that Vault itself isnt hard tho (well at low mythic levels).

Fuck that second boss tho, I sware im looking at the beam sometimes and I still get stunned :/
 
Vault is rough mainly for Inquisitor?

IMO yes.

I always ask my group to save BL for the second boss add phase. The first boss is easy as long as people dodge the lasers and doesn't need good dps at all. Inquisitor however can be a real pain in the ass if the adds are not down fast.

Thing that gets me about the second boss in VotW as a Warrior tank is that if we're not doing the LoS tactic then I'm having to strafe with my back to the NPC cages(?) that the boss opens so I can pick everything up. Thunderclap just isn't enough, and Revenge doesn't hit em. When I'm on the druid, I just swipe/thrash and shit is focused on me until it dies.

Didnt you just have to see its eyes and you are fine?

Yup, but when I have to strafe to pick up the adds (especially the caster quillen things) it sometimes goes off when I feel like it shouldn't.

Double the fun on Volcanic.

Ugh, did VotW+10 last week with Sanguine/Volcanic and whatever the +10 thing was with my fellow raid tank healing me & no ranged misdirects... Shit was hell.

Well...yeah, just like heroics.

Heroics are queueable and only have one day lockouts. You can knock one of those out easily for your daily AP and a chance at a legendary(that doesn't seem to be any more likely to drop from mythic bosses than heroic) and don't even have to fliy to the point.

The only thing out of a Mythic dungeon is a keystone.

Except for Violet Hold which has that uber strong tank trinket. Really, really wish that was doable on Mythic+, because a +10 Husk would be incredible.

You can get +10 gear from violet hold in your weekly cache. Saw a 880 chaos tailsman. Bunch of bullshit because there's no other way to get it.

I really hate this whole "sharding" thing. I keep getting jumped on my 102 alt by some jerk who's about 108 or so, so I decided to bring one of my 110s there to deal with them.

But seems I'm on a different shard on my warrior and thus, can't find the damn guy with my monk.

I don't really know what to do right now.
My Rogue is 867 (can equip 873 but worse stats) and I've done Mythics up to 8 and do a lot of 5-8 as well lower ones. My guild isn't hardcore and we're on heroic Xavius and def won't do mythix anytime soon.

I know the patch drops this week but seeing as the new contetn can only be done once per week, it's not much overall.
My group can do 9 and maybe even 10 but we have to get better gear or we probably won't make it in time for those difficulties. I am possibly switching to sub if they don't fix Outlaw but getting the relics is really the issue and I can't do much other than set loot to sub.

All of my alts are melee except for druid which can go balance but I don't want to play that and we sure don't need more melee. I thought about leveling up a mage but I feel like its going to take ages and I'll just quit at some point. Never thought I'd pay to boost but it looks tempting right now.

I've heard Assassination is good for higher M+ where trash doesn't die instantly. DOT everything up and then fish for Bag of Tricks.

You know those trinkets with +main stat and +random stat?

I have one WQ with one up, but on the app it shows as +agi +crit. So not so random?

Is it the Halls of Valor one? Some of the stat-sticks are dungeon drops & those have fixed stats.

Wonder if anyone has a Titanforged version.

Almost certainly. Would love to grab one on the ol' Brewmaster.

Ahh, didn't know that! Would rather get some nice shoulders, though... Still rockin' the 850 crafted ones despite having iLvl 877.

Weird. I just checked, and it's a Random Stats stat-stick for me.

Thats in game tho, im seeing on the app. My point is im wondering if the app just shows what stat it will :)

Check the app to see what it says, now in curious (im at work ao I cant check in-game)

Companion apps shows what you get. I noticed third a few days ago.

You won't see it ingame.

And there you go lol

World Quest gear hasn't been showing me upgrades in over a week. I thought they were supposed to scale up based on what you had but everything sits around 820-835 for me now.

Max ive seen is 840+ on my 863 Monk. You're hoping for war/titanforges at that point really.

Eh I am pretty sure the randomness doesn't get chosen when you complete the WQ. Mostly likely when the quest gets put up.

Kind of like how shuffle on your playlist isn't truely random.

Out of curiosity, anyone know how big the prepatch for 7.1 is?

I noticed the space used on my computer jumped by about two gigs worth (probably a bit less, rounded off) and it freaked me out for a moment, but noticed that my launcher no longer tells me that there is the pre-load to download, so I'm guessing its probably that.

That's more or less the limit, with the very rare 840. Anything higher and you're looking at raids/mythics/mythic+.
