World of Warcraft |OT9| People still play this? Isn't it from 2004

Ooooohhhh. That might explain it then. Seems strange though to have the appearance without actually finding that hidden artifact. I have the Fury axes as well. Lol.
The gear from the emissary caches can actually proc really high.
I got an 880 helm out of it.
edit: Wait nevermind that was a world quest. I did get like an 860 cloak though.

I was about to ask if they had been nerfed since I have so few offering gear. They were a gear pinata on my other alts. So they are probably random lol.
It feels to me more like it was back at the beginning of the xpac, maybe something really was broken with it for a while.
Did some Kara today, place is rock hard. Think our dps was just on the low-end (as it usually is tbh, we struggle with more than mythic +3s for example). We are about 855 on average I think (im the highest at 861)
One shot opera (westfall connection) but then wasted a bunch of time wiping on Maiden. We finally got her when we switched to leaving her in the middle and placing the holy pools to the sides (instead of the pools in the middle and her on the edges).
Then we wiped a bit more on moroes and called it. We got to just him a few times but the healer eventually just ran out of mana.
Really liked what I saw, the fights seem great and there was less trash than I expected from the horror stories I heard. what I didnt like is how far you have to run back after a wipe, that was getting super old.
Unfortunately it seems I wont jump back again tomorow because some people will be away playing Destiny or Titanfall or whatever. Kinda bums me out but its a casual lot so I guess I have to understand.

I suspect Artifact Relics are being deliberately pushed because they're not possible to get via crafted means, so you're left w/ Dungeon drops as your only real source- and they're not common there.
Ironically the ilvl of people they do allow wont use 95% of the drops unless it titanforges.
Then again I wouldnt want to do it in a pug without comms and shit. We were already getting salty by the end with the wipes and we're friends lol.
Oh man if only they would do that for the 3rd row appearances as well (the Balance of Power ones). No fucking way I'm doing ~5-7 weeks of EN normal on every alt just to get the skin.

The reason why Xavius got fat is because they're reusing the General Vezax line of model.

I wondered why is he so fat all of sudden.
BTW is Ysera alive afterwards? you saved some of the already dead guys but not her
No you killed her in the quest. The rest were just corrupted and you cleanse them I guess...#blizzardwriting
Ysera had to go breh. She was one of the most powerful and her corruption was totally complete. Also Dragons as a whole are fading from Azeroth, we fucked up when we killed Deathwing.

Thats weird because Ursoc was killed in WotKL, Ysondre in Cata and pretty sure we killed the tiger dude when he was fully corrupted but they returned to life inside the dream
Seriously when you were happy with the change i was like :dahell
Crusade burst the best
Yeah. It happened while I was under Phylxhiasfkahfr the final spider. I assume it's some aggro range bug.
It always seems to trigger for me in the circular room with all the elites off the main central area. Though she seems to have shut up finally after like five minutes of it. Annoying.
And yeah there are some wonky aggro problems there.

Last boss in Karazhan is a fucking nightmare to heal as a holy priest, especially on the first ship. While moving our instant cast heals are two holy word spells (on a minute cooldown which you can't lower unless you stop moving and cast lots of flash heals/prayer of healing), renew and that's it. At any one time on that boss you're either dodging two or three lots of six orbs which hit for 1m damage each, the beam attack which can knock your ass off the platform if it doesn't outright kill you, barrage leaving patches of bad at your feet and pylons with energy shooting out of them or some hellish combination of the above. We just spent about an hour+ wiping on that one boss over and over because I just couldn't get heals off without dying or losing track of all the things I'm avoiding.
Still, got the place finished and it feels good, I really enjoyed it. The description '5 man raid' really suits it I think. Feel sorry as hell for my guild mates though.
Yep -_-

I got the cocoon message VERY early on, like as soon as I got to the spider areas where dro is, and it didn't stop until I left the instance. She was just really concerned, ok. Also it's hilarious how easy that scenario has gotten. Just run through it with the smallest amount of guys possible, end with 20+ easily without even botehring to activate the last handful.
Man, 92 attempts at Nightmare dragons and most of the wipes is cus the tanks can't get their taunts done correctly and are always getting stunned. It's weird cus I can't recall them ever having issues like that.
This thing should've died, like, 50 attempts back.

Returned to Kara for a 2nd night and killed Moroes by employing a strategy I devised: Don't CC any of the adds and AoE cleave off Moroes. Me and a DH ended the fight on over 800k dps.
Also got my 2nd legendary from Emissary this morning, Belo'vir's Final Stand - It's not the Pyro bracers, but I'm still pretty stoked!

I'd just level as Enhance and set loot to Enhance. Maybe switch to Resto before you turn in quests that reward Relics.
Go up to 13 in Enhance (unless you hit 110 before then) and then just dump the rest into Resto.
So odd question that I'm not sure anyone will know the answer to:
If you do Kara and fail the Nightbane timer, can you reset and try again? I know that because of loot locks you can techically start the instance again just without loot, but are you able to try the speed run again at that point? Mostly curious because my group is going in tomorrow and they want to go blind (I've looked into some stuff just for general ideas, but I won't share with them), but also don't want to miss out on Nightbane loot since 875 relics are really nice. So if we can clear the place at a regular pace, then reset it to try the speed run after that would be optimal. Anyone have any idea?

Seems exceptionally unlikely. And if it works now, I wouldn't expect it to work for long. Maybe run it first on alts?
In retrospect, I think it evolves really well, as you unlock more stuff you can get deeper and it gets easier and by the time it's "on farm" it's super easy. But in the beginning, not really knowing that's supposed to be the evolution, it was super frustrating, especially the Dro roadblock. Now I just wish it would give me my artifact appearance so I don't have to ever run it again.
Yep, it's almost like it has an organic difficulty like I said at the very beginning when people were complaining
Some classes have it a bit easier the first week or two, but once you get some of the upgrades (the dps ones especially) you're SO golden, those withered just do way too much damage to ever be in danger. Even as a 'good' class, I evolevd from week one slowly walking through as blood, to now staying frost and literally just running from room to room and hitting 'berserk' while I loot boxes and my homeboys kill it all.i wanna be the very best

Wish those falcosaurs could be hunter pets.
Them and the owlcat things.

Honestly I think the biggest reason Dro is frustrating is that he ganks you; if he was just sitting in front of his door blocking the way he would just seem like a hard obstacle to overcome, but instead he interrupts good runs and makes you deal with him when you aren't ready. Course fully upgraded he dies so fast now half the time I don't even bother to stun him.
I would hardly call what any group in 870-880 does to just brute force the fight "devising a strategy". Come on dude
Why stay in enhance loot choice?
I have both the Arms and Fury hidden artifact skins for "Killing 1k players", after I already unlocked that skin with my prot artifact. I still have them now.
Didn't realize that unlocking Kosumoth on one character does it for all of yours (at least on that server, dunno about other servers). Not that I need to kill him again (not until he finally gives the mount), but its nice to see some alt-friendliness.
Also love the occasional rare world quest at the non-instance Eye of Azshara. Definitely make sure you check it from tiem to time, got a nice 845 relic for my weapon there.
