Case and point: I have killed (well captured, whatever) Garrosh Hellscream a bunch of times, I've killed the Dark Shamans, Nazgrim, and the Treasurer even more than that. Yet when I walk into Orgrimmar, they're all still standing around there. Is it really too much for Blizzard to at least use the phasing technology they're so fond of to make it look like you're at least having a nominal impact on the world around you? They do and will . . . in a patch/expansion lol | ||

Instead they used it to prevent friends from questing together and ruin gameplay in various other ways. Not the choice a rational developer would have made. The phasing technology is really stupid because it's used so inconsistently. I honestly don't know if you should introduce tech like that in the middle of the development of a game, so that as a player all throughout you are wondering just why exactly the evil guard is still standing next to the king after you completed the quest in one instance, but then for another occasion Blizzard goes out of its way to make it obvious that they used their new phasing tech. It's so inconsistent and feels not an integral part of the game. Also, it's another demonstration of the principle that every time Blizzard wants to draw attention to something it will be dumb and tasteless, mostly because they're too worried that not all of the audience will get it. So any quality to Blizzard games nowadays (in terms of artistic judgement) feel like they're accidental or subversive to the main story / design. | ||

If I reduced you to just 1 hp, where a small tap would kill you, would your dps be unchanged (or possibly higher) from the beginning of our fight. That describes WoW characters, but not you. So yea... a weaponized rabbit could just slit your throat and kill you despite the size distance... but it's not as likely that a small dude could kill a big dude in WoW by himself. Also, Manneroth is a demon, with magic blood and shit. I just have a hatred of the concept of power levels. I read too many stupid discussions about this back when I was 14 or something where everyone obsessed about the relative power levels of all the characters and about who could beat who in a fight. This leads to stupidity like Heart of the Swarm where Kerrigan decides to level up her character in order to better defeat an army of millions. It's somewhat less awful in a fantasy world, but it should still be the case that Manneroth can be a vastly powerful demon with a power level rivaling Archimonde while also dying to an enraged Orc bashing his skull in with an axe. | ||

I imagine because it'd take a wholeeeeeeeee lot of effort, to change the landscape every quest. Also alot of problems with how phasing works. Since every quest or two would put you in a diff phase and could potentially really fuck things up | ||

They even have a SoO phase where you grow the tree with all the Celestials, so why not just phase Garrosh out too? I can imagine Orgrimmar, being a major city, would be more difficult to phase, but IMO it'd be worth it. | ||

Its not as simple as phasing him out. you would need to switch him with Vol'jin and duplicated all the quests so you can assign them to both ect. Its not worth the trouble. | ||

This will happen EVENTUALLY Was your group's dps bad, healers bad, were you stacking both phases, etc? Garrosh is faceroll if your healers can heal through whirling corruption, and everyone else knows what an interrupt is. | ||

I'm pretty sure the problem was not dps. It's probably not dealing with the mind controls fast enough. | ||

edit: and break them out of the MC instead of tunneling Garrosh, of course. If you were on US Horde, I'd be happy to get you a guaranteed kill every week ;_; | ||

I thought it was ironic my group was having the engineer killing engineers. I mean IRL engineer, not the profession lol. So how do I go about getting this Garrosh kill? I seem to keep ending up in groups that aren't quite able to get it. | ||

 When we hit p3 we pretty much just zerg him, only dps'ing/interrupting mc'd people while ignoring the adds (we get 1-2 rounds depending on our dps) and moving counter clockwise to avoid the weapons. With ~570 average gear we can afford to boost a couple of alts easily too. | ||

You have to get very luck with PuGs...it took me almost a month worth of pugging 8-9 times a week. | ||

(I know it's low gear level) I hardly raid these days, but i'll let you know if i'm doing stuff. Usually our clean up night is monday or tuesday. We only do part 3 and 4 on normal tho, the rest we run on hc where we really would prefer not to boost people  Your gear level is fine, we've ran some alts that had like 500 ilvl. | ||
