Pre Ulduar content was a fucking joke, the hardmodes are kinda fun and a little challenging worth trying atleast. Kinda reminds me of BT/Sunwell/MH pre-nerf wotlk patch...

Naxx/EoE/OS is entry raid for Woltk. Just like Kara, Gruul and Magtheridon, they are supposed to be easy.

Despite how easy it is, there's surprisingly a lot of pugs that couldn't finish Naxx still in one run.

I used to play on Ner'zhul horde. If you ever happened to see the deathknight in Orgrimmar that was always killing or being punched by the Cenarion Emissary, that was me.

Well to be fair, those running Ulduar would have no reason to enter Naxx, so those in Naxx are either fresh 80s, or weren't able to get into an Ulduar guild for whatever reason.

Ulduar normal-modes aren't hard either, but I do think they're fun.

Strange. On Blackrock, people do Naxx GDKPs on up to five of their 80s per week. And they are run by Ulduar geared people.

[Teshiro]

Is there "any" chance that someone plays on Drak'Thul? (I don't think so personally, so Im just asking)

so true, i think yogg and algalon are the kinda hard but then again we don't always have 24 competent people.

Avoiding cloud-nicking and running out of Yogg's brain seem to be the two things a lot of people just don't seem to watch out for. I honestly would have thought the prospect of being permanently splat or permnanetly being MCed would deter people. Guess not.

After a weary week and an eventful weekend at an anime convention, followed by 2 crappy nights of harsh winter weather and crappy sleep, logging on just for a daily causes some magic to happen.

Spoiler for I think I smell a rat!:

Hilarious that it's almost as big as my mage. ^^

EU or US people?

I used to play this game from time it was released quitted 2 times but came back after expansions were released.

To bad it losts it's appeal after the first expansion everything before BC was good and fun but after BC and now with Wotlk it's just so different...

I'm looking forward to their new mmo tho hopefully that will be totally different from WoW and since it's from blizzard quality is olmost certain alrdy

[Xellos]

Didn't set up the shot like that. Tank flew in right as I took it. Anyways, should've had it down last week, but oh well. Going to smash our faces against Yogg 0 next.

I'll be honest since I saw your tank in the screenshot was a paladin I had to look up his gear to compare. I'm honestly kind of surprised? All stam gems, mongoose on his weapon? It's kind of underwhelming to be honest. And his spec is not optimal at all.

Other then my confused state about your pally tank, grats on the achievement, I know my casual guild will never work up to that level. Just not enough people that really care that much.

Edit: Maybe on the spec, that is for a specific fight or something, it just seems ridiculously weird to me.

[iceyfw]

anyone getting gladiator this season who is not a deathknight? calculations for battlegrounds are starting to come around from arena junkies. i believe it since they are close to accurate every single season.

Thanks. Maintaining a strong roster is most of the raiding battle.

With regard to our tank, he's probably just gemming for effecting health. Tbh, his base avoidance is pretty decent in the gear he's in now. I'm sure he has an avoidance and threat set that is gemmed accordingly as a good tank should. Mongoose is still a superb tanking enchant. 120 AGI that goes towards dodge and armor along with a slight threat increase is nothing to sneeze at.

Finally, his spec is geared toward 25 man hard modes. Aura mastery is taken so we can burn Conservators in Freya x 3 right away. It's also used a decent amount in the other hard modes. He doesn't take Divine Sacrifice since he can't afford having Forbearance still up during Algalon where he has to use Divine Protection.

I've seen a decent amount of players in higher end guilds that are somewhat mediocre or even bad (like me). However, our paladin tank is honestly one of the best tanks I've ever seen. I've never had any problems with his threat as dps and his play is rock solid.

[Xacual]

That makes a lot of sense actually about aura mastery. I can see it being useful for some fights after thinking about it. Mongoose on the other hand, I guess since the average effectiveness is slightly less then 26 agi, I fall into the group of tanks that prefer a static buff over a proc.

Edit: Pretty sure my guild has a warlock getting gladiator this season.

I think I just found my 3,156,419th reason to not PvP.

Btw, grats on Algalon 25.

[Ithekro]

I wonder if there will ever be a time when there will be an area where the Alliance/Horde feud is suspended. A questing or dungeon where you can group with anybody. Sort of like the Zombie Invasion where your faction didn't matter (sort of). While it might not be for everybody, it might be interesting to actually have these two sides fight for a common goal (like stopping Arthus, the Naga, or the Burning Legion on their own turf) like they were actually fighting together towards that goal, instead of against each other and the enemy of both parties at the same time. A raid of 25 with orc shamen, human paladins, undead warlocks, and night elf druids. Not all that happy with each other, but willing to work together, if only for a little while, in a small area of a world.

(Not likely, but it could be interesting...they were willing to work together at the Wraith Gate)

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

I'm sure he has an avoidance and threat set that is gemmed accordingly as a good tank should.

I wish we had tank gear drop enough so I could do that, I only have like one or two bits I can switch between sets (or a trinket rather) to make up an 'avoidance' or 'threat' set. I find I spend more time in my stam set anyway then any other 'set' (blood spec'd so may as well sploit the bonuses of the spec I say). We have the worst drop rate on the 'hot' tanking items, we've had one Heart of Iron drop since UD went live, have never see a Royal Seal of King Llane either. In saying that though, we have five other tanks in the guild.
