No. It's just a big travel slog and some challenging mobs in caves and such that you can probably bypass.

Did you solo it? I died at the 3 Rook pandas. They did too much damage to my poor mage. Can Ice block remove the armor debuff? I don't know.
Dunno if you know this but you can still reset for Nightbane. We had cleared past Curator and were getting the thing where it zones you in and instakills you at his portal.
We have an attuned alt that we keep parked outside of the instance. When we need to reset we invite him, zone out, have him reset and zone in, then send someone else in with him and we're good to go. But yeah, we got a night of practice in when it was still easy. And then we got even more 'practice' when it bugged out and despawned the final crystal...but I'm riding an ember wyrm now so it all worked out eventually.
Funny thing about Necrotic is even though it's considered the anti-DK affix, clever use of AMS lets me drop it off on many bosses without needing our cat or paladin to taunt it off me. If I ever find the legendary cloak I'll be able to drop it at will since that will make AMS last 10 seconds.

What do you mean, someone else get credit for it? They fixed that, that can't happen.

Trying to get the best out of this Battle Pet buff. I left it too late to take good advantage of the whole weeked, but I finally got into battle pets.
Nope, you're good to go.

Oh boy, killed the world boss, gold even on bonus roll. and didnt count it as world mission so I have to do it again
The hidden appearance stuff off the bosses are now guaranteed drop. You just need to meet the requirements.
What's your artifact knowledge? And are you exalted with the Valarjar?
I am AK 10 but I also didn't get credit for the world quest for killing him because of how buggy Warden WQs are. Maybe that's why?
Are the appearances guaranteed for dungeon bosses now too? Like Thunderfury?
I think that change was just for world bosses.
They hotfixed it late last week for it (for world bosses), so yes. And like I asked, are you exalted with teh Valarjar? I believe that's another requirement.
See, we did hear that, and we tried it with my shaman alt, but no combination of the other people joining his group, resetting their own instance, or anything got them to zone in with my shaman, it was always shaman alone in a fresh clear and all of them zoned into the old instance, despite being in a group with my shaman as the leader. This happened both when we just cleared opera and tried to reset, as well as the next day when we had cleared curator and tried to reset, then again after clearing last boss and trying one more time. Too bad, since Nightbane loot is really the only guaranteed upgrades we have from Kara now, which is unfortunate since we all really like the instance.
And yea, I actually think Necrotic works out not too badly for a DK who can drop the stacks. Doesn't matter too much for my bear on trash since my AoE slow with moonkin affinity is larger range than mobs melee range so kiting is easy, though it does suck for some things like Wrathguards in BRH with the 2343592 yard melee range BS. But coming to a boss like Hymdall in HoV who can't be slowed made resetting as a Bear quite challenging, especially since even taunting from across the room he would be on the Monk/Pally who taunted in ~2 seconds, he was hella fast. My main problem with Necrotic though is it is just so boring, I spend most trash pulls running away kiting with Thrash, don't get to DPS at all. Guess it beats Skittish though...

My guild is 4/7M and should be at least 5/7M this week. (I was on my way to a funeral when they killed Dragons this past Thursday.)
I don't know if you'd classify that as "good progression" though. As I mentioned in my other post, we're behind what we should be due to some personnel issues (mainly with healers: losing healers, ill healer, healers swapping mains). Tanks and DPS have been mostly fine. So we're probably about 300-400 US ranks behind what I figure our target would be, which equates to about 1000-1200 world ranks. At about 760 US right now, but it should be closer to top 300.
There's definitely other people that post here that are much more cutting edge though. Yanger and Milennia, for example.
Just buy one of those goblin glider kits, get down onto the rip of Dalaran, face the Eye of Azshara, jump and use it. You'll get relatively close, I imagine.
(Also BM hunters can get the water strider pet which lets you water walk)
I have those, I even have Gunshoes (best item in the game) but there's still a fair bit of swimming involved. Didn't know about the pet though, I should look in to that even though I don't play BM.

A tip for not running out of fatigue, you can coast the Broken Shores coastline until you get close to the Eyes coast that way you odn't have to worry about fatigue
Yeah, none of that was an issue its just such a slog with how slow swimming is. I constantly miss my shaman's water walking.
Has anyone else had an issue with followers not giving what they should towards class hall missions? Especially warlocks with Shinfel Blighsworn? It almost seems like her curse of agony ability is working as a negative.
Here's what happens, I add her as a follower and my chance to complete actually goes down, even though it should go up substantially. And her items alone should provide 25% towards the mission (in addition to at least 15% for her item level). And it wasn't just on this mission either, I've been seeing it for a while now.
Edit: sorry about the large image size, they're screencaps from the app on my phone.

Stops at each pack. Can't do the full pull unless it's normal/heroic and you're overgeared. The problem is twofold. One: Fel Frenzy buffs every wrathguard. With a total pull you might be managing something like 7 stacks, which is 700% damage. Two: Sic Bats, which has all nearby bats focus fire a target. Again, with a full pull the bats will oneshot anyone they touch.
3rd legendary on my hunter. What in the fuck.
I noticed a similar problem at one point for me, turns out that I wasn't noticing how one change (in this case, the third champion reduced mission time) actually ended up invalidating a buff (one of the other champions had a buff that increased success rate for missions over 8 hours, champion #3 reduced it below).
May be something similar here.

oh boy, the next step on suramar requires 10 WQ on suramar and I already did the dailies....
There are some interesting things you can do with the bat staircase too, which I learned from Mythic+ necrotic. If you pull the felguards from the first platform area back down and head back enough, the bats that come down won't aggro you, and you quickly only have a pull of felguards. Similarly, if you pull all of the top felguards and move back to the (closed) door leading to the final boss, you can also find a spot where you won't aggro any more bats. Meaning you can do all felguard pulls completely avoiding infinite bats, very helpful for certain Mythic+ runs especially necrotic.
I'm gonna assume the questline stops there for the week, so no real rush until next week!
I thought that was the case for a while, but if you look closely at the image it still shows her buffs as being active, and the mission is 10 hours long, which should still activate all of them. I'm wondering if there's some conflict with the warlock 20% shorter missions class hall ability, I've just replaced it so I'll see what it's like tomorrow. It's been pretty frustrating though because it has really gimped my ability to get mission bonuses while my paladin's followers all work just fine.

Was about to put the 100 coin on my Shammy but then the profesion bonus dont work on tiral characters so I have to level up a fresh char for the bonus.
I dont want to do the pandaran storyline again

What do you need the profession bonuses for? Nothing in legion crafting or gathering requires anything over lv 1 plus doing the quests.

Enginering and Alchemy, for the toys and utility plus alchemy for flasks
Bad legendaries reset your bad luck protection, so don't just wish for anything.Can gift them to me?

For all we know, it resets on any warforge haha.
You can use everything for alchemy at skill level 1, flasks and all. None of my legion alchemists started at past 1. Engineering is a good point though since you need like 425 for mailbox or 600 for blingtron.
