#

That guild disbanded man smh….

lusty grotto
#

ah fuck

dusky canopy
#

It’s all good though the guild I’m trialing with now is like any pull is a mag kill then I’ll be back on echo

sick sentinel
grim pilot
#

Mag is kinda easy

#

Just a dps check and small heal check

dusky canopy
#

This guilds way cooler too they’re range heavy witch is the polar opposite of where I came from witch was melee heavy

#

AND windfury + monk

dusky canopy
sick sentinel
#

worst affix by far

proper roost
#

had that happen a year ago

#

joined a new guild was pogging for a couple weeks good atmosphere

#

died out of nowhere

daring marlin
#

Brew is the grim reaper meme...

proper roost
#

rl gave up

dusky canopy
#

4 people including a main tank were poached to HoF pushing guild supposedly I can’t say how true or not that is but it’s what they claimed

#

And then the rest of the guild disbanded

proper roost
#

Hof pushing guild huh

#

pepelaugh

dusky canopy
#

Yeah I thought it was humorous as well

proper roost
#

Heard that one before

dusky canopy
#

You typically don’t jump from world 1000 all the way to world 200

#

Lmao

sick sentinel
#

entire group is at 20% hp, elite is at 40% hp> monsters die > sanguine >everyone starts casting something and doesnt move > nonelites now up to 50% hp, elite up to 75% hp

lusty tiger
#

just be a brm

sick sentinel
#

repeat 5 - 10 times per dungeon anddddd your key is dead

#

not to mention it hurts to sit in sanguine

lusty grotto
#

yeah kinda weird if a main tank gets poached

dusky canopy
lusty grotto
#

seems odd

daring marlin
#

holy moly

dusky canopy
#

4th trial in like 5 weeks I think?

Maybe 6

proper roost
#

rly feeling not being able to push

#

for weeks and weeks

#

sucks

sick sentinel
#

this is how i picture death or the grim reaper

daring marlin
proper roost
#

tbh I only joined guild to try and get mythic gear to push easier

#

and now its like

#

mythic gear is kinda pointless with how the gear system is setup

dusky canopy
proper roost
#

and i didnt want to push on my warrior anyway

daring marlin
#

Next guild...

dusky canopy
#

Lmao

cerulean tusk
#

He cant keep getting away with it!

dusky canopy
#

I hope not these dudes are super cool

proper roost
#

if the gear acquisition, particularly crafted, is the same next season

#

gonna have to rethink mythic raiding i think

sick sentinel
#

i don't use the name death if i don't have to, but this is where it stems from

dusky canopy
#

Supposedly the officers all went to college together and they’re all multi CE players some with 11 CE titles together

daring marlin
#

Wish costco was closer than 20 mins away

sick sentinel
#

cuz, death is, extreme edgey boy or somethin

dusky canopy
#

So it sounds like this guild is stable

#

And I got lucky

proper roost
#

thats the opposite of stable

daring marlin
#

I'd crush a rotisserie chicken

proper roost
#

how long have they collectively raided in that guild

#

Thats just asking for huge ego clash const

dusky canopy
#

BFA iirc

daring marlin
proper roost
#

Yea not stable guild

#

Would be wary

#

Gl

sick sentinel
dusky canopy
#

Yeah I mean I’m just riding the wave my guy

@south zealot sup bro

#

how you doin' young man

south zealot
#

yo

#

good hru

proper roost
#

hi choco

plush tendon
#

idk, a guild that has that many CE titles together is pretty damn stable

#

regardless of how it formed

proper roost
#

its not together

#

they have the ces independently

#

and formed in bfa

dusky canopy
#

Right right

plush tendon
#

ah; how many congruent titles do they have?

#

as a group

south zealot
#

hi kanga

proper roost
#

Also not even sure 11 is possible? I skipped only bfa and sl but im pretty sure its only like 12 or 13 in total

dusky canopy
#

Basically college buddies that all raided separately came together to make there own CE focused guild

proper roost
#

unless u double count some like

#

10/25 used to be separate ces

#

for mop

#

Would be super disingenuous

plush tendon
#

the way I usually look at it; a guild with more then like 3 congruent CE titles is stable

#

less than that, and its a little dicey

dusky canopy
#

I’m just repeating what they told me they could totally be full of shit afaik

lusty grotto
#

why you poopin on brews parade kanga

daring marlin
#

me am gr8

proper roost
#

Im not, he should just be wary

lusty grotto
#

let him be okay with at least a week before the guild dies

daring marlin
#

kanga based and real

proper roost
#

if he keeps picking dying guilds its his prerogative to look better

dusky canopy
#

LUL

#

SMH…

cerulean tusk
#

Why, Kanga? He aint worried. Guilds die when he wants them to. Not before

proper roost
#

and if this guild has 11 CEs but hasnt killed magmorax yet

daring marlin
#

how many guilds fell prey to him in SL...

proper roost
#

then its very worrying for the state of the guild

daring marlin
#

the horror!

lusty grotto
#

yeah im just playing

proper roost
#

means theyve likely been infighting recently for poor prog this tier

dusky canopy
#

It’s cool guys I actually appreciate Kangas perspective, or actually most of the regulars here perspectives sometimes you guys lead me onto something I completely over look

#

Bing chillin

lusty grotto
#

youre probably right to take notice of that

daring marlin
#

nim is such a boomer

plush tendon
#

yea, Kanga bringing up based points

daring marlin
#

love that guy

proper roost
#

also struggling for ce this tier means

#

they really struggled in voti most likely (prob didnt get ce?)

#

any harder tier

daring marlin
#

solution is simple

proper roost
#

this is a rly easy ce tier so v worrying if stuck on mag rn

daring marlin
#

don't raid wicked

cerulean tusk
#

Raid don't wicked

plush tendon
#

well being stuck on a boss this tier seems fairly easy tbh; I know lots of players just getting burnt so some guilds have been dealing with turnover

proper roost
#

And if they DID get ce in voti but this late rn, u need to look at roster

dusky canopy
#

My goal is completely personal I just want one CE title I don’t care if it’s the easiest or the hardest and I’m not going to buy it I want to play for it

proper roost
#

means they might have lost some key really good players

plush tendon
#

or the Rashok wall

dusky canopy
#

So I’m strapped in for a wild ride

plush tendon
#

dont know if Zskarn is a wall anymore

proper roost
plush tendon
#

but Rashok can be rough for some of the lower end CE guilds

proper roost
#

and being in dying guilds a lot hurts ur future apps

#

If guild is very fast to accept u

cerulean tusk
proper roost
#

is sometimes red flag

sick sentinel
#

TGP

#

lets go

daring marlin
#

will of the emperor only ce I'll ever have

#

good enough for me

proper roost
#

If i had to guess ur just not experienced with apping to a lot of ce chase guilds so youve been happily taking guilds that insta accept ur app

plush tendon
#

CE is getting overrated

dusky canopy
#

Yeah I get that but you guys also have to consider that I’m going at this with NO prior CE exp so I have to farm my way up the ladder the hard way

proper roost
#

but the reason theyre doing that is cuz theyre dying

plush tendon
#

Im ready to be a heroic andy

dusky canopy
#

It kinda is what it is

proper roost
#

i'm aware, im literally in the same situation

#

I havent raided since nighthold

#

and no one cares about 3 expansion old ces

#

but u can still be picky

#

if ur logs are good

daring marlin
#

logs are such a meme now

proper roost
#

u must be picky, if u care

daring marlin
#

It's gr8

dusky canopy
#

Yeah I’ve been being somewhat picky

plush tendon
#

I think the play right now for you is to feel out where you are now, but dont hard commit to anything and always be on the prowl for a better opportunity

dusky canopy
#

I’ve been fortunate enough to be getting 15+ people shooting me offers whenever I upload my post in the discord

daring marlin
#

Can still see you know your shit despite them being a meme tho

dusky canopy
#

Just mostly time wasters with like 2 or 3 M prog

#

Then a few that have actual prog

south zealot
#

2 or 3 dn

plush tendon
#

the low end guilds be struggling to get people

#

its big rip for them

dusky canopy
#

They really do

plush tendon
#

People realized they can just do heroic and not deal with Mythic

dusky canopy
#

Case in point someone like me with little to no Mythic raiding EXP avoiding them

#

Lol

plush tendon
#

so its basically get CE quick or do heroic

proper roost
#

I mean u should be applying to guilds imo and ignore anyone but 9/9 guilds that dm u

#

at ur current prog

#

any non 9/9 guilds that dm u are gonna be desperate and falling apart

plush tendon
#

the pool of raiders be getting smaller and smaller each tier it feels like

proper roost
#

and any that are 9/9 will be stable and looking to shore up their roster generally

dusky canopy
#

I only have 3/9M kills but I also have logs for close kills on EXP/Zskarn/mag so it’s kinda bad looking

#

Kinda not idk

sick sentinel
#

ugh, what kind of effort do i gotta put in if all i want is spark parts

#

can i just dso 8 +2's

strong forum
#

How’s raiding in FF nim?

grim pilot

Sanguine is fun to play if you think youre good enough to manage around it

lusty grotto

grim pilot

lusty grotto

he doesnt know how good i am on my au ra paladin

daring marlin
lusty grotto
#

daring marlin
#

May as well catch up on story!

lusty grotto
#

ill say this though

#

wow gearing is, right now in S2, miles fucking better than ffxiv gearing

#

if it was any other season

#

then it'd be a toss up

daring marlin
#

One nice thing about XIV raiding is there is a clear BIS and over time you WILL have it.

lusty grotto
#

the biggest problem with ffxiv gearing is tome weekly caps

#

well yea that's true

daring marlin
#

As long as you're clearing the encounters.

proper roost
#

god imagine how cute me and guilford would be on ffxiv

#

wtf

daring marlin
#

Books own.

proper roost
#

why arent we playin that

daring marlin
#

idk I stopped a couple months ago

proper roost
#

keying sucks I literally have negative desire to key rn

#

sadge

#

Someone inject me with a desire to key again

#

im so burned out of this season idk why

daring marlin
#

Cleared first 4 savage and second savage up to last floor

#

Had a falling out with someone and group fell apart

sick sentinel
#

TGP going now

crude notch
#

A wise kanga once said playing while burned out... actually I have no idea what else you said

sick sentinel
#

just 3 more minutes

lusty grotto
#

p8s, 2nd part was fun

#

1st part was okayish

daring marlin
#

I liked P4S more.

lusty grotto
#

yeah p4s was great

proper roost
#

idk i said this

#

but i am taking a break from keying

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
#

p3s can suck my balls though fuck that orangey fight forever

proper roost
#

i have done two m+ in the last two weeks

#

i rly need to do more on my pally for gear but eugh

daring marlin
#

P7S owns

proper roost
#

just really dont feel like it

daring marlin
#

P3S owns too

#

Don't be a hater!

lusty grotto
#

my FC renamed to pinax due to p4s

#

xD

daring marlin
#

lmao

lusty grotto
#

i mean i hate it cause i was BLMing

#

same reason i fucking absolutely hate p7s

#

hated*

#

cause then i SAM'd and i was just cruising

#

theres just something rage inducing if for a good parse you have to BET ON MECHANIC PLACEMENT

proper roost
#

i would be a good white mage

lusty grotto
#

tbf, i feel like this tier has had way too much choreographed dances and limit cuts

proper roost
daring marlin
#

No, Kanga.

lusty grotto

thats why i love p10s

uhh yea youre expected to dps

They're incredibly basic dps wise but yes.

lusty grotto

group disbands without anyone saying anything

daring marlin
#

Funny enough

lusty grotto
#

but you know why it did

crude notch
proper roost
#

i even only raided one day last week I think

#

Felt kinda guilty about that one but oh well

lusty tiger
#

i still havent checked my vault this week

lusty grotto
#

time for a wow break kanga

#

2 weeks off

proper roost
#

We have like 26 person mythic roster and last two weeks has been 21 people logged on lol

#

Nah raiding is still fun i just dont feel like keying

daring marlin
#

Healers expected to DPS is more of a western thing. JP judges way more harshly if you let people die cuz you're dpsing too much. keks

proper roost
#

uh

fun*
*reprogging p1 echo is not fun

lusty grotto
#

but enrages are a thing

#

so you absolutely need to

proper roost
#

dont u just press healing cds when healing parts happen and dps otherwise lol

#

like SL healing

sick sentinel
#

i tend to think in more traditional terms broadly

lusty grotto
#

i dont think western raiders let you off the hook if you let someone die to a bleed cause youre parsing either ngl

daring marlin
#

Normally it's one healer that focuses more on healing and the other on damage.

lusty grotto
#

yes kind of kanga

#

but there's bleeds this tier

#

and theres also this one thing called harrowing hell

proper roost
#

i see

lusty grotto
#

well not this tier, this entire expansion has had bleeds

#

its just raidwide dots

#

so big dam, then big dot

lusty grotto

They're actually insane

sick sentinel

i dont watch anime either

i dislike it

No Guilford, wow isn't animated, it's real life bro

lusty grotto

I'm gonna NG+ Shadowbringers and Endwalker I think.

daring marlin

actually wow is just alot of pictures followed by another really quickly

PEBKAC

grim pilot
#

kind of a rookie question but I never delved into it - def stance makes prot uncrittable right? That's what I heard somewhere

lusty grotto
#

mob crits dont happen in retail

#

thats a classic thing

#

it hasnt happened in a long long long time

#

mobs just cannot crit you

grim pilot
#

meant the bosses

strong forum
grim pilot
#

oh

lusty grotto
strong forum
#

the only way to get crit is by sitting down

grim pilot
#

because I was wondering if that also would apply if I used def stance in arms/fury

lusty tiger
#

I never played an xpac that dstance made you crit immune

lusty grotto
#

it didnt make you crit immune

south zealot
#

even if it did, it wouldnt alter how u played/when u used dstance

crude notch
#

Just get defense cap bro wym?

(This is a joke)

sick sentinel
#

WTF you dont have 440 defense rating?

south zealot
#

dude i keep getting ubereats email but i cant use the promo code

sick sentinel
#

gtfo my guild

south zealot
#

im pissed

lusty grotto
#

defense rating was a thing for CRUSHING blows, not crits

sick sentinel
#

well, a paladin tank, i think it was, didnt have enough

#

for xt

#

and it showed

lusty grotto
#

you could be unhittable, which is what people did for anub on the coliseum, idk if thats still a thing nowadays with the classic iteration though

sick sentinel
#

if the attack hits your shield

#

why does it hurt you

strong forum
#

physics

sick sentinel
#

sounds like some bullshit to me

lusty tiger
#

There were no crushes in wrath

sick sentinel
#

i equip an umbrella IRL i don't start taking drowning dmg during rain

lusty tiger
#

And one of the things defense did was make you crit immune

strong forum
crude notch
#

Nimchip more like nimrod

strong forum
#

same as when wearing a bulletproof vest you can still break a rib when you get shot

sick sentinel
#

i seem to recall it was a paladin tank on ulduar, and he didnt have 440 cuz he didnt have some item equipped and he got crit for double dmg causing a wipe

lusty tiger
#

Crush immune was that “104%” total avoidance standard because any time you did not: get missed, dodge, or parry, you would block(which you cannot be crushed or crit on a blocked hit)

dusky canopy
#

Warrior just stays winning

#

We’re the best class

crude notch
#

Just get resilience.

lusty grotto
#

the fuck i remember wrath, its been a decade

#

i remember the unhittable set simply because the farm for that set was ass

lusty tiger
#

I also don’t think there’s enough gear to be hit immune by togc (maybe if you gemmed all dodge?” I’ve never tried

lusty grotto
#

there was

#

at least in the OG wrath

#

idk about classic again

lusty tiger
#

I know for ads people do a block set to tank all 4

#

I’ve been told about that on warmane

#

Well block value set does not mean hit immune

lusty grotto
#

again i dont know about classic

#

but there was

#

100% there was an unhittable set

#

and yes it was to tank all adds

lusty tiger
#

I think you are confusing it with block value

lusty grotto
#

im not

#

youre playing the last patch

#

its not the same

lusty tiger
#

So they nerfed all the gear in the last patch? Or did one tank spec get a free 40% avoidance (maybe DKs?)

lusty grotto
#

bro

#

listen

lusty tiger
#

Since dk gets avoidance based off str

lusty grotto
#

daring marlin
#

This is what Nim is talking about

crude notch
#

"unhittable" was 102.4%

lusty grotto
#

yes

lusty tiger
#

Not including block

#

That’s just dodge, parry, and chance to be missed

crude notch
#

Ya

daring marlin
#

friends

#

That number included block

#

SMH MY DAMN HEAD

lusty tiger
#

Not to be hit immune

#

If you block you have still been hit

daring marlin
#

For the purpose of the block value set block was included

#

You're arguing semantics

lusty tiger
#

Well that’s not unhittable that’s having enough block value to fully mitigate the damage

lusty grotto
#

block value was part of the calculation

lusty tiger
#

They are very different

lusty grotto
#

jesus fucking christ

daring marlin
#

I'll let the MMO-C guy explain it from '09.

lusty tiger
#

#

They're not

lusty grotto
#

im done trying to explain this classic andy

lusty tiger
#

On illidan in tbc you can be hit immune

#

And same with bis sunwell gear against other bosses

#

They cannot hit you

crude notch
#

I'm gonna hit you

lusty tiger
#

Ofc for a bv set to work you need to push all non blocked hits off the table

lusty grotto
#

why the fuck do you even need to be hit immune for illidan, just press SB for shear

lusty tiger
#

I said you can

lusty grotto
#

and i know that for a fact cause thats how i got the Shearchip nickname

#

back in the day

daring marlin
#

good thing we're talking about a different boss in a different expac that was incredibly niche and required gear from the original game

lusty grotto
#

yeah i said that

#

its not the same fucking game

lusty tiger
#

I’m just saying hit immune ≠ bv full mitigation

daring marlin
#

I'm agreeing with you chipbro

lusty grotto
#

youre an idiot jaree

daring marlin

JERRY

lusty grotto
#

just stop it

#

lusty tiger
#

Hit immunity is a different thing

daring marlin
#

YOU ARE ARGUING SEMANTICS CEASE LOL

lusty tiger
#

Why do you think we look at the “hit” column when looking at %blocked hits

lusty grotto
#

BRO

#

RETAIL

#

BLOCKING

#

IS

#

DIFFERENT

#

THAN FULL BLOCK VALUE SETS

crude notch
#

Block dn

lusty tiger
#

Sorry this is so hard for you to understand

lusty grotto
#

no its hard for YOU to understand

#

blocking has a cap in retail

#

it caps out at 60% damage reduction

#

block value is only gained by shields

lusty tiger
#

But you have to have a melee attack actually HIT you to be able to block it is my point

lusty grotto
#

that was not the case back then

#

semantics

#

if you block 100% of the hit, youre effectively not getting hit

#

thats it

lusty tiger
#

But you are

crude notch
#

Jeree is there a point to you saying this?

lusty tiger
#

That’s how you’re able to block

crude notch
#

Like what

lusty tiger
#

Because hit immune means the enemy cannot land a melee swing on your character

crude notch
#

You're that guy

lusty tiger
#

And there are specs that have interaction with blocking hits like Paladin and warrior

#

So a blocked hit is different than an avoided one

#

They function differently

crude notch
#

That part is technically correct which is part of why I hated the term "unhittable".

#

But still

#

For the definition of unhittable that was used back then, it didn't matter what your block rating was except on one boss.

lusty tiger
#

There’s a lot of definitions from back then we don’t use anymore

crude notch
#

No shit

#

Astute observation captain

daring marlin
#

@lusty tiger The fact is block was counted as unhittable because fully blocking the hit was essentially the same as dodging or parrying because if you fully blocked the hit you didn't get the debuff.

lusty tiger
#

The warrior in the video you posted was getting the debuff

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

yes

#

yes yes

2.5s GCD

blazing condor

youd think the global cooldowns wouldve helped global warming by now

lusty grotto
#

yea the gcd is kind of a departure from wow, but it fits nicely with ogcd weaving

#

its just that it feels like absolute ass when youre low lvl

blazing condor
#

game would be doodoo without gcd

#

keeps my carpal tunnel in check

lusty grotto
#

yeah the reason why its so big in comparison is that it has console players

#

or i should say long

but yeah weaving makes it feel a lot better

its def not for everyone coming in from wow though

whats the average rotation amount of spells in ff?

LMAO

south zealot

lusty grotto
#

6 to 12 gcd, it depends on the job

#

more if you include weaving

crude notch
#

What's the average apm? I know I could look it up on fflogs, but hoping you know fof the top of your head

lusty grotto
#

like a BLM full rotation has 7 gcds on astral fire, and 2 gcds on umbral frost.. a SAM has 3 different combos with 3 gcds for 2 of them and 2 gcds for one of them

#

but rotations can vary

#

instant casts, applying dots as finishers, etc

#

hmm apm is limited for sure

sick sentinel
#

yesterday in a freehold

lusty grotto
#

youre effectively capped

#

depending on your skill speed or spell speed

#

higher skill speed and spell speed makes double weaving a no go cause you clip gcds

#

lower (or slower) can double weave

#

you cant triple weave though, its always a clip

sick sentinel
#

i would still be extremely interested to see 5 or howmany ever is a typical raid players, as robots

1 iteration where they are haste specs, 1 where they self decide

lusty grotto

i think its around 40 CPM on average jordan

crude notch
#

interesting. ty qtpie

proper roost
#

what is triple weaving

crude notch
#

idk what happened to me but eventually at a certain age I just stopped exploring other games.

lusty grotto
#

there are classes that are outliers cause they have so many ogcds

proper roost
#

ur old lol

lusty grotto
#

so they might shoot up

#

like ninjas and gunbreakers

crude notch
#

I say that as I only picked up PoE 2 years ago

proper roost
#

poe is a giga boomer game tho

lusty grotto
#

weaving is just using ogcds in the gcd window

proper roost
#

the only people that drool over poe building and crafting and trading bs are all boomers

sick sentinel
#

mmmmmm gdit hold it

#

on*

proper roost
#

sus definition of weaving

lusty grotto
#

thats how its called in xiv

#

double weaving is just 2 ogcds in the gcd

#

triple is 3

#

etc

#

if you do it incorrectly you clip the gcd, which means your entire rotation is delayed

#

because your gcd starts later, by a short amount of time but adds up

#

it happens in WoW too

#

its just insane min-maxy to do on a game that has lust

sick sentinel
proper roost
#

wtf

#

is this what was happening with my paladin gcds

#

because theres an ogcd 30s cd ability and a gcd 15s ability

#

and u wanted to line them up every time

#

but i would have it desync slightly over and over

lusty grotto
#

the problem is wow doesnt really have a lot of damage dealing ogcd

proper roost
#

and it drove me mad

lusty grotto
#

its mostly cooldowns as in buffs

proper roost

or maybe it was the other way around idr exactly but it sucked

Internet dudes making “overlays” to circumvent this

pretty sure they havent broken echo auras

#

its the internet dudes going around any potential fix, to show the "dangers" of overlays

#

auras are technically NOT overlays

lusty tiger
#

hmm

lusty grotto
#

this is in response to the WCL overlay announcement

dusky canopy
#

I’m all for it, blizz should just design fights that don’t need WAs etc

#

This will encourage that

lusty grotto
#

AVR is also non existent since og wrath

#

its just there as an example

lusty tiger
#

ya every mechinic in the game should be specified

lusty grotto
#

or at least im pretty sure it was their goal

#

morgan day couldnt say they were against or were ok with the echo private auras on the max interview a few weeks ago

#

he said it was a "grey area"

#

for that particular fight

#

im interpreting that as they knowing they fucked up

dusky canopy
#

I can agree with that Nim

#

Makes sense

lusty grotto
#

they def shouldn't make fights without clear indicators

#

it could work for smaller raid sizes (ffxiv does it)

#

but its just hell and promotes aura use on higher player count

lusty tiger
#

id like to see more mechanics going on top/bottom dps and healers i think

lusty grotto
#

and even xiv has been moving into trying to make mechanics more easily distinguishable

lusty tiger
#

some angle like that

dusky canopy
#

Someone would always get cucked and be the mechanic slave

lusty tiger
#

yea but thats somewhat interactive

#

well that happens anyway

#

and its not very fleshed out

#

i dont think its a magnificent idea

#

but something that gives you more control over the mechaics

lusty grotto
#

i think echo is a good fight honestly

#

the only problem are the aura requirements for the aoes

daring marlin
#

@lusty grotto You know what'd be sick? An enemy target list like XIV has.

lusty grotto

the whole break the wall concept, and go attacking the adds is fun

oh

kind of

#

ffxiv needs it cause their nameplates are trash

#

id say it would be great for huge pulls in wow though

dusky canopy
#

When blizz talked about liking “lists” are they referring to the mrt note?

daring marlin
#

I'd like it in M+. Could make it so you can configure certain mobs to appear on it, for example...

lusty grotto
#

yeah i think so brew

dusky canopy
#

Glad they like that because the Note and WA that goes with it makes a world of a difference for me

yeah its good, its part of management, i dont really see any issues with MRT lists

dusky canopy
#

I guess it could be argued that the note/WA combo takes the thought out if it

lusty grotto
#

the problem is the micro map private aura

dusky canopy
#

However at least someone has to setup the note and timings

lusty grotto
#

but the aura itself is not the issue, the problem is the fight being designed that way

#

because it goes against making shit clear

Anyone have any experience with running the timewalking BT raid? I haven't done it since... 2008. I'm guessing it's a lot easier than it used to be

It’s fairly easy yea

Illidan isn’t a push over however

#

But still easy

#

If you want a super sleeper time in there you can try to get into one of the timewalking twink discord runs but idk if they’ll allow that if you’re not mostly in the twink gear

jagged gust
#

Honestly it took my guild like 2 or so weeks of prog to take down illy, he was always kind of on the easy side in terms of final raid bosses

I actually still have a 60 hunter in full sunwell gear on area 52 still, I abandoned that guy at the end of tbc, idk what that level is converted to, maybe 30? Is that even high enough to run with twinks?
