So either Sanguine + Volcanic is a very easy combo (it does seem to be quite easy...) or my group is just getting better. Likely a combination, which is why I like the Mythic+ system, if you do it with the same people you really do start to notice your synergies getting better. Normally we are able to do +5-6 pretty easily with 2 chest, then have a bit more issue with the +7, and we've been 1 chesting 7-9ish. But this week, we got +7 Black Rook and we were only ~2 minutes from getting a 3 chest, with no deaths the entire run. Felt really good. Now if only our group could see some of these increased legendary drops people are talking about, instead of just me as the tank having the almost worthless Cinidaria and our healer having Sephuz...

Also the fact that the travel form epic mount speed change works in instances and works with the version other people can ride is the best change of 7.1!

sanguine/volcanic is probably the easiest unless sanguine/overflowing is possible (that would be a total joke).

However I've noticed some things with volcanic. It's either being spawned by boss adds or is affected by boss attack speed. Melandrius (final boss of Court of Stars) was spawning them so fast that nobody in our party could stand still for even a second. Towards the end of the fight they were being spammed so fast that multiples were coming up under my feet at the same time even as the tank. Very strange and annoying.

If you're struggling to find a group for a dungeon, just make your own. I've had no issues whatsoever on my 854 rogue alt making groups and getting them filled at a decent pace. Just do some WQ's or something while you wait.

Also someone has managed to get both Bejewelled and Peggle to work in WoW again :D

Takes the same amount of time.

It's hard to PUG as dps because there's so much competition.

Either way, if you're not standing out from the crowd you're in for a looooong wait to get shit done. Worse if you're playing a spec with a bad reputation (moment of silence for Elementals and Afflictions).

Karazhan is wonderful, I agree that a few bits could be condensed but overall this is the kind of thing I want to see. This in conjunction with M+ has really made the expansion for me.

Also, people who get denied to groups: I always form my own groups and the nanosecond I open the finder I get about 20 DPS who want in. There are fewer healers and tanks than ever and dungeon content is actually meaningful so it's not surprising. I was helping a guildie's alt run vanilla +0 mythics yesterday to gear up and I would get DPS 870+ wanting in commonly. Game is just flooded with DPS right now.

Best way to get a group is to be a tank or healer or know a tank or healer. All you need is one cornerstone and it's easy but I can't imagine trying to go it solo mythic and above right now as a DPS.

Honestly, even though I do stuff while I wait for people to queue, it doesn't take anywhere near as long to get a group as applying, and I have some say over who joins the group.

But maybe that's just EU :p

Ty apathy will watch again. And the account wide attunement?

Edit: raid version of Odyn looks fantastic in the fatboss video

So kara also falls under account wide attunement, I was able to get into new kara with my warrior who didn't even pick up the quest

That's the thing, if your main happen to be a DPS only class (who even happens to only be 850), it's tough shit to start your own group for mythics. Whenever I try to think of looking for a mythic group, all i see are groups looking for a tank or healer.

I just hate that some 5 mans are exclusive to mythic and even that some Suramar quests are mythic only. Why not making a heroic version that you can just queue and wait 10-15 mins like every other dungeons? I mean, if you can have an easily accessible version of raids with LFR, why not heroic Kara, CoS and Arcway? What's the reasoning behind that?

Creating or finding a mythic group is the hardest content in the game right now. Thank goodness I have a good guild I was able to finish the 4 mythics in a short time, if I had no guild I'd probably still be looking to find a group.

The thing is that normal mythic is not hard at all when your ilvl is 840 or higher.

I was doing a pvp world quest in stormheim (the one with the animals), and this one shaman was up in the air, on a dragon, throwing down very damaging thunder attacks, easily killing people. Is that thing some sort of exploit or is it working as intended?

Intended, there's an achievement for mounting the drake. Forget what it's called though.

It's a rare spawn and it can only be ridden for like 5 minutes. Pretty fun! (But not for the people on the ground unleas you're ranged)

Could I get a pm with the link to the Discord as well?

So I got one of those Falcosaur pets that gives quests. First quest is to get it to level 25, so I just bought 24 Flawless Pet Stones. They're 3 tokens each, and the class hall gives me a quest every few days where I get 25 of them. (5 base, 20 bonus, always hit 200% so always get the bonus)

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
It's kind of silly that they haven't updated these kinds of WQs.

The Blood trader just makes them even more ridiculous.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'm seeing in an MMOchamp thread that Survival got a pretty significant stealth buff (or fix, depending on how you look at it) - the mastery where pet attacks can add Mongoose charges used to only work on special attacks (anything that isn't an auto attack) but now it works on auto attacks. This means Survival hunters no longer have to like 3 pet options in tenacity spec as their only optimal options.

So Sandstone Drake is currently glitched after the patch.

It makes a buzzing noise, and there is no flapping noise anymore when you're transformed into it. The fuck.

edit-also they nerfed Cauterizing Blink, what the fuck blizzard.

Edit-edit-They didn't nerf cauterizing blink, just put an incorrect description? It healed me in total for 380ish k, which is around 25% of my health?

Lol this game. Fresh 110. I go to do the 3 Emissary Quests I have available to me and the 3 caches each give me something worse than what I have and I have a 795 ilvl.

Not sure what I did, but I somehow managed to unlock the Arm's appearance. I only have the "kill 1k players" version of it, not any of the other three though, so that's weird. I've restarted the game and everything, other people are seeing me with it too.

I figured it was a bug, but so far it's passing all the tests I guess.

EDIT: This has to be a bug. This is weird.
