What kinda ilvl do people think I should be aiming for in hopes of being able to run heroic (new raid)?
Since you're already clearing heroic uldir, the only other important thing is to get a +10 done each week. And do the warfront stuff: kill the world boss in arathi when your faction owns it and do the warfront battle for the 370 cache when it's available. Your ilvl should slowly creep up to 375+ and I'd think and that'll be pretty solid for new raid tier. The only way players are getting beyond that is grinding tons of mythic+ for titanforged gear and doing mythic uldir.

I do agree +10 can become trivial if it's just for completion.
Last week was the first time where a high key added dmg/hp stopped a pug dungeon run for me. It was DH tank DH/hunter/boomkin and we couldn't kill the caster in duo boss in Shrine 12 fast enough. I dunno if it was people not performing but eventually we ran out of interrupts. and healer couldn't keep us up. Not sure what can be improved other than tank maybe kiting a bit less so melees can do more and easier time dodging tornadoes. I think that boss is one of the hardest in tyrannical though.
Only tried tol and temple this week but bolstering can be a problem in maybe freehold and motherlode? I think underrot will be particuarly painful as there are mobs that you want to prioritize killing yet you want everything to be low too.

Atal if you have a warlock you can gate skip the annoying pack before totem boss.
Shrine if you have a lock you can gate skip the required water elemental + pack to the 2x healer pack fountain (skip that too) before first boss. You can death cheese big bridge if you don't have rogue or invis. You can pull the 2 casters that summon tentacles before big bridge to outside making that area easier in fortified + infested.
Freehold you can skip from last bridge to upper level with warlock. Even if you don't have a lock you can skip the last big pack on boss' area if you engage her to the side.
Temple orb running I like tank to get aggro of one side, aoe root then pick up orb + dunk, kill pack, repeat. Might be most optimal way. I also heard you don't need to aggro heart guardians on the steps to last boss. Can probably skip the last packs with shroud/death cheese?
Underrot 2nd boss you should position between the big ribcage and wall so when he does anything but tantrum it's easier to squish ticks.

Just killed Ghuun HC and got no loot credit; no gold etc, people on the kill couldn't trade me loot that was tradeable to other people.
I got bonus roll popup and i got saved to the boss on the kill, wtf
No sanguicells either!

Ticket? Unless you don't need stuff from ghuun I guess.

Not fun after spending 1/3'rd of the day on one single boss again! I Absolutely need stuff from G'huun.
Ticketed, but i lost loot to a bug that looked exactly the same on Argus* and GM's said that they couldn't help me back then because they thought that the game was working as intended and i was just unlucky. I wasn't able to explain with one message a day what had actually gone wrong with the system. They claimed that Argus wasn't guaranteed to drop gold or the token to upgrade your pantheon trinket even though everyone else got one once a week after the first week aside from my bugged character.
*If you pulled the boss and then got kicked from a raid that then killed the boss, you'd get saved with no loot chance or gold / +5 ilvl panth trinket token.
So TL;DR game sees that you're tagged onto boss, saves you when it dies. Doesn't give you loot because you're not in the raid and haven't been in there for 10 minutes. Loot and lockout condition mismatch, problems!
In this case if it was a similar bug it may have been because i was kicked from a pull right as it started several hours ago, a group leader wasn't happy about me calling out several people being boosted for gold after some wipes.
That only happened to me one time i think and i was only in combat for like 10 seconds before zoning out, i'm not even sure that they killed the boss but it's possible that they did.
It's not like 10 sanguicells popped into my bag and 3g went to the mailbox or anything, i just didn't get them (100% sure). I have 10 too few sanguicells. I had zero in my bag when i started, didn't leave Uldir, didn't get any mail and i have 10 fewer than the amount of bosses that i'm saved to.
Actually, how do i get a GM on live chat? I don't wanna do this "wait 24 hours, get automated response and then wait 24 hours again" thing. That stuff with outsourced Indian tech support is soul destroying

I had this similar issue in a shrine of the storm 0 I was running. I got loot off second boss and couldnt trade it to another leather person in the group. Kept giving me an error saying they werent eligible for loot on that boss. I have no idea what the issue was and felt bad for the guy because I just need an azerite helm from there with better trait and he was levelving up an alt.
|
He could've ran it already making him ineligible to loot. I ran several M0 motherlode not knowing this trying to get an azerite piece and later found out they couldn't trade it.

Yeah, they could've. Honestly a lot of those sorts of things happen by mistake, i'm just 100000% sure that there was a bug in my case.

Sounds reasonably reasonable. Still don't understand why they don't want Azerite gear in mythic+ ^^
|
Probably because it allows us to then actually farm the gear we want instead of just getting lucky. Otherwise I have no idea why they dont want it to drop in M+.

Nice how that is never mentioned ingame aswell.

It really narrows the amounts of dungeons i need to do down quite a bit with that being the case, aside from doing 1 dungeon for a 8-10 weekly the other dungeons drop literally nothing that can be an upgrade for me so basically only 3 or so of them i would actually do for the hopes of gear lol

unless there cant be double rolls on pieces i.e not 2 of the same trait i dont think that ones gonna make too much of a difference. Though one can dream for 2 of the +colossus smash damage/rage gain on one piece

Or you could just do them because its fun and challenging :p. Thats why i still do them. I dont really have any pieces to fill in left aside from the odd trinket or TF from a 10. And to be fair I dont have much time to spam high runs but I like doing a couple hours worth of high keys just to enjoy M+ in of itself.
+ Show Spoiler +yes rewards are a big part of gameplay and important, just pointing out that there are still reasons to do dungeons even if they dont provide rewards

The act of tanking mythics is just really fun. DPS can feel a bit tedious at times, but I'll always enjoy a good tank sesh

Can anyone who knows these kinds of things make an educated guess on when 8.1 will release?

I'm expecting the raid in January, system updates may or may not hit significantly before

There'll be twice as many class specific traits equipped, 3 times as many on the gear
nerfed generics, new class specifics
sounds good to me
