I still get a laugh out of "Frozen arms of the hero"

"the remnants of a deceased hero of Draenor"

It sounds like it means arms as in weaponry etc (and implies that by usage too) but i have a funny vision of literally handing a follower some dudes frozen, cut-off arms :D

Looks like it might indeed be the case.
Sigh I love it when blizzard adds hidden stuff without notice so we can miss out on stuff because we didn't read the forums constantly...

Garrisons are probably the single most opaque feature since Vanilla. Nothing about them is intuitive beyond what is taught by the tutorial.

Ever try to explain to a new player how traits work and why some can be overwritten but not others? It's fun.

Getting crazy stuttering again in 30 man raid. Dropped 110fps to a very uneven ~8fps when we cast heroism during feast of souls

Just spent the evening progressing on Archimonde. I've gotta say this is a really great encounter, I didn't mind wiping at all since I had so much fun.

Garrisons are the sole reason I dropped the game. Well, the 1 patch expansion didn't help... I really hope the next xpac doesn't have a Garrison-like system or I'm going to be forced to just sub for 1 month to play through the leveling quests and then quit again.

I am running into the issue where we have people that show up for loot but not for progression. It is sad but some of my guild doesn't enjoy the feeling of getting wrecked and actually progressing. I like HFC but it demands everyone to do work and not be carried by the rest of the team =/.

Loot is important to me (and i would base raid schedules around it) but mainly because of the raw power of it. If you have one guild that completes everybodies legendary ring and gets 4 pieces to all of the important members, you can probably progress even further with them on a longer timeframe than going striaght for wiping on progression bosses for 8+ hours

for a guild, the most important thing IMO is being able to have fun wiping. There are people that go to have fun wiping and progress - and some others who show up to kill the bosses that die easily, get loot and then not care any more

They just buffed survival and beast mastery after a couple months and MM is still the best hunter spec for all 13 fights...

I spend 500g to get a Seal of Inevitable Fate to reroll for 27g...

You use gold for those?

I buy them with apexis because you do 2 days worth of dailies and you have 10k apexis which covers 2 weeks at a time.

Previous tier tokens cant be bought with apexis anymore (i think) you can however buy them for 500g.
I don't think it is worth it at all tho.

Oh the tempered fate ones. I bought them on my monk for possible tier 17 pieces. If its just for gear I did tanaan jungle + empowered them to 695 for decent ilevel to run HFC.

I think its worth the gold for tier bosses or the off pieces like rings/cloaks/trinkets, but overall not worth it in the long run. You should be able to buy them in Tanaan though for cheaper than 500g. I think they only costed my monk 270g per one from the arrakoa guy next to flight master.

Also I am kind of sad that the caches aren't a higher level than your current content. Needing ~27 kills to get the same level cache seems ineffective since you will probably have most of the gear already from that content. I've gotten 3 normal caches and only 1 of them was an upgrade, rest were worse than my current gear.

This legendary healing ring ability is pretty disappointing for a disc priest, my shields during the 15 seconds don't build the end shield at all, so seems disc only gets to use half of the ring ability while other healers get to benefit from the end explosion shield thingy as well.

Ah well, at least the bonus double dips with critted heals into more aegis. Might actually make intuition's gift a higher ranking trinket than I thought at first glance.

They actually cost 300g, reduced by rep - so you actually pay like 250g per t17 reroll but they doubled the chance to get an item.

it's essentially paying a boss 625g to drop an item, though you don't have guarantees of which one it is. Well worth it for trinkets and some classes tier 17 as it can be better than the 695 tanaan gear while also letting you spend your 15k daily apexis on other slots to gear faster

Ah that's kinda awkward :/ It's probably not going to make disco inviable though, everybody is scared to run without a disco priest

No class trinket or tier makes this worse

It's about time

-----------

My third cache just came in as heroic, woo :D

with some good stat weights and an addon i was writing down how much each item was worth, it's quite funny actually. Upgrading 5 item levels with worse stats to the Socrethar weapon is the biggest DPS gain in the entirety of HFC heroic aside from the far far superior mannoroth weapon.

I could upgrade four item slots to their BiS and it wouldn't be as good as getting that one Mannoroth bow. :D (class trinket aside, as cache can't give it and it's not as easy to calculate)

Also, there are several upgrades that could give me several % critical strike more. With 5% crit buff and food (both self provided), i'm sitting around 44.4% crit 24/7 at i705. #thedream

Speaking of which, i have straight crit and crit/multistrike for every slot now for CM's if anybody wants to run some on EU alliance, some good trinks too. Not sure if anything is better than beating heart of the mountain + alchemy trink for MM hunter CM

----

I got the Iskar chest from heroic cache (i'm using chest offset ATM) so i have >45% crit with 100crit food now (damn 125 so expensive, like 600-1000g for 20 of it while the 100 crit and felblight frenzy is essentially free)

Yea.. 1000 felblight frenzies for 550g or 1000 eels for 35-40k? I can live with 100 crit feasts and frenzies

I primarily use honor, garrison resources, or apexis crystals for Seals of Inevitable Fate.

300g actually, 500 would kill my alts

i've never done a single daily and i consistently have ~20k apexis crystals after using 1.5k on coins, the 400/600 crystals missions will add up very quickly

oh, and fuck shipyards

i've been neglecting my dailies and i've spent like 60k apexis plus have 100k in the bank

5 hours into archimonde heroic >________________________>

+ Show Spoiler +

send help

For a while there i thought i might actually kill archimonde on heroic before normal - the mechanics are the same though the players are much, much better - but the extra tuning is too brutal. In a guild run with everybody using legendary ring it should be worlds easier than with a bunch of random guys without them

Also, you get so many trash guild invites being here lol, i'm clicking one away every 1-2 boss pulls

fml doomroller spawned as i was flying at instance on another server

Ok i literally just spent 12 hours wiping on Archimonde. 2:50am to 3pm gg

at least i can do the fight in my sleep now. I'll certainly need to
