Having done a decent amount of mythic+ (but not nearly as much as some fanatical players) I think they balanced the difficulty between raw numbers and mechanics well. In other words, a +10 in a dungeon you know can be easier than a +6 in a dungeon you don't know. A few times we got the same dungeon when the key upgraded and it was funny to me how the higher key would be easier to do because we could form a plan based on the experience we just had with the lower key. We missed the timer in our +10 by 7mins by I'm 100% sure if we tried again we would make it. There are so many fixable mistakes made before you have a full feel for the dungeon at that level.

I'm fortunate that I was able to push with a full premade group. I think pugs are gonna take a while to establish standard tactics so you never know what you're gonna get in a pug right now. I did a tiny bit of grinding +5's with some pugs and it can be rough even with competent players just because people are still learning how to handle every single pull of 10 different dungeons.

I actually feel a little behind because some people did so many +5's that they've learned everything quite well. I only did a handful and then made sure to get my +10 done.

edit: About Warfronts, they could have explained it better. I definitely thought that when Horde reached 100%, I was gonna get to queue for a scenario defending Stromgarde. And when that didn't happen, I thought Alliance would at least get the contribution quests. I didn't know that each faction periodically gets 7 days of having absolutely nothing to do with Warfronts (no quests to do in Arathi, can't do contribution quests, can't queue for scenario). Another game design decision I don't understand...

So it's 12 days to do the Arathi quests and kill the world boss when you control Arathi, while the other faction gets 5 days to do contributions and 7 days to do the scenario? I don't like this set up. It should cycle through faster.

Yeah I'd say that pushing to 10 is pretty easy if you have a premade willing to redo the dungeon if you fail. It might take a while if you keep getting new dungeons where you don't know how to do the pulls on a high key but eventually you get one you know or you clear it on the first attempt. Err on the side of slow and steady so that you're hopefully getting at least getting +1. We broke up a lot of packs with CC. If the DPS players know their rotations then you can easily +1 a dungeon despite breaking up big packs with CC. Wipes are how you fail the timer and having the key downgrade is a much bigger waste of time than a slow and steady +1. The infested affix at 10 is not that big of a deal and the 10 is easy anyway since you don't have to complete it in time.

Well I have an Atal'Dazar 8. I ran a 6 yesterday and I mapped out the pathing and the percentage requirements because that run we did pretty much everything wrong but we were also experimenting. It also seems a fair bit easier. Im pretty confident on getting a +1. Even +2 maybe. I just hope I can find the time, its not the end of the world but would be nice to get done.

I could always just find a 10 key but that would mean having to tank but doing that with the current gear levels and affixes is to much for my employment addled brain this time of the week.


Also, it seems like since the gear levels increased and the recent builds with stacking swift roundhouse im simming Haste as best stat. After playing classes where the stat weights are so rationally cut and dry I am really confused with WW at the moment, generally stat weights make very obvious intuitive scene, right now I am not sure I quite understand the logic behind the APL and weights when applied to 2+ pieces with swift roundhouse.

If you are NA horde I can show you a % perfect route. It gives 3 lusts and you will likely 2 chest if your group is coordinated enough
