if you're having issues in normal there is no loving way you're doing mythic but there's still a dedicated group of retards who think "yeah i'm ready for the highest difficulty" and then stand under a rock that they had a full minute to move out from under

Honestly, normal isn't the total joke it was in Siege (at least, from what I remember of Siege), but I agree with the rest of your statement.

In my group there were a bunch of people who claimed they had no idea when Ko'ragh was about to do his charge. There's two very obvious visual indicators, and that's not counting boss mods.

Spent 2 hours wiping on Mar'gok because people are retarded. Got him down to 24% which shouldn't even be hard, but only me and 3 other dps pull over 18k on average (not including burst damage) so it's just a grueling slog all the way till phase 4. :whitewater:

So I spent yesterday desperately gearing my resto druid up. I'm actually having a good bit of fun healing 5mans. Tonight I'll do my first raid as resto. I hope it goes well.

It went pretty well. We actually have some decent healers so I didn't dominate or anything. I got a good amount of gear though and now I'm 640 on my druid, higher than my monk. We had a few good attempts at Ko'ragh but people are still failing at every mechanic.

Just saw they removed Gyth from UBRS. gently caress that, why would you remove the best Dragon? In fact the only Dragon NPC in the game with that pink color.

No, Gyth was like the classic style EQ awkward weird dragon with strange colors. The game loses part of it's history if it does away with stuff like that. Like Eisner paving over parts of Disney World, you lose a lot of charm by tossing stuff like that.

But I digress I just got the Experiment 12-B from soloing Dragon Soul, so Gyth will now be with me forever.

DK is still broken in the ways its always been broken

Warrior is in kind of a sad place right now but I don't play one and that's an opinion based on massive gchat whining and forum posts

Cat druid is fun in nagrand, stealth movement at epic mount+ speed is cool. Night elves have shadowmeld which works like a dollar store knockoff of vanish. The rotation with The Right Talents is super tight and unforgiving so if you don't want to run the risk of losing huge amounts of potential DPS over one misclick then maybe play something else. I play a cat but probably gonna go fulltime resto.

Ret is really easy and even with selfheals a little nerfed they're good at not dying. Clcret still worked last week, so it'll tell you what to press but even if you just mash buttons when they light up you'll do like 70% of simcraft.

warrior is indeed kind of weak right now but it's still an absolute blast to play. you're a big angry ping pong ball that can take a hell of a beating before actually going down, and Rallying Cry is fantastic group utility (Especially with the glyph that gives you leech)

Monk is pretty cool and you have a lot of buttons to push. It's the strongest DPS if played right. I'm a little worried about the longterm viability of the class though because Blizzard is still figuring out what they want to do with it.

I gave the raids a shot and there's nothing but a ton of RP and really nothing grand or awe inspiring.

like there's nothing like Ulduar or ICC that made it feel like it was something special. They could have been 5 mans.

I've spent most of the time just flying around.

Demonology is a weird loving spec now. I also got the glyph that just lets you grow wings instead of turning into a demon when using metamorph and they're purple instead of green. :whitewater:

The only time I had fun as Demonology was that bit where it was overpowered at the start of Cata and even then only on AoE fights. I just don't find it very interesting or enjoyable to play.

Whats this theorycraft bullshit about hunters not using pets in order to do optimal DPS?

Pets are vital to hunters because they sure as gently caress have nothing else going for them other than being able to tame a ton of interesting creatures.

Like seriously it's not hard to make a good pet class in a videogame. But they always seem to gently caress it up.

Seriously I read all the hunter changes because I figured taming a triceratops would be cool but there's like a billion bullshit steps before and after you get the triceratops.

The book to teach the hunter the skill to train the triceratops is a rare drop and they still have bullshit playstyles with damage rotations. Like why is a book even a rare drop when all the other pets you can just tame?

damage rotations should not even exist, Monster Hunter has none of this poo poo nor Diablo 3. Like WoW is the only game that uses damage rotations and they're such poorly implemented to begin with.

Are you doing Clarity of Power dotweaving? If not, do Clarity of Power dotweaving or stop doing SPriest. For your own sanity.

E: I did like 35% more damage as soon as I started doing it right. You basically have to do Clarity of Power and dotweave as an SPriest right now.
