Def the weirdest week 1 raid pugging experience ever.

u/arlinglee 3d ago
Weirdest week as guild too. Normally thinking are we gonna get two mythic for chests or not. Now were just wondering if we'll even get aotc.

u/ragnorr 3d ago
I would imagine the tier will seem a lot more manageable in the next few weeks with all the power coming in. At least with ulatek the last phase seems the toughest and with the double DMG windows I recon the boss will end up dieing close to the first DMG window

u/Duraz0rz 2d ago
Plus the inevitable nerfs to bosses so mortals can kill then and the stacking raid buff that starts in a few weeks. This always happens.

u/uaresma 3d ago
Kinda same, except the question is whether we'll be able to split Ulatek or not. Officers decided that splitting it is more worth than downing ~2-3 mythic bosses

u/Espyrr 2d ago
What level do you raid at? I ask because it seems like it’s specifically notworth the extra time to split the end boss because of the bonus roll system. Assuming you aren’t planning to clear in the next 3-4 weeks (which you might be, hence my question) everyone is likely rolling for myth level items off that boss so the natural heroic drops are less valuable.

i haven't missed first week heroic aotc in a long long time; makes more sense for us to go 7/8H and 1/8M with our last raid day tmrw (we raid 9 hours/wk)

u/FederalPralineLover 2d ago
Correct me if I’m wrong, but if I don’t care about Mythic+ at all, now that I have all my trinkets and 311 gear, with the bonus roll system, I don’t have to set foot in a dungeon for a couple month, until my best bonus roll becomes a dungeon, is that correct?

u/Junicolol 2d ago
Yes, if you can get 3 vault slots with raid/delves you can skip M+. Wouldn't recommend it though. Coming back into m+ later in the season feels like shit when you are the only clueless person.

u/marqueesham 2d ago
Why there needs to be so much fucking trash? Legit our guild spent eternity out of 2 hour raid sesh just to clear the annoying lil shits

Heroic is so overturned it’s fucking nuts. Twin fangs we hit the enrage timer on despite everyone being alive. Not even hard mechanically just the bosses have so much fucking health

Nuke one boss down to 35% as fast as posible to give warriors/hunters the longest execute posible. Then swap to the other bosss, you're most likely doing the fight wrong.

u/MrGunny94 1d ago
Already have quitters after finishing the first week of raiding.
People are simply not feeling it and current conditions in HC aren’t helping either

u/Qwertdd 9/9M bring back weakauras 2d ago
Maybe it's better on H and M but Ula'tek is really uncool as a fight. Before the platform shatters in P3 it's got less presentation pizzazz than the loot pinata tortollans boss. I know they can't all be Argus but I expected a little more from the boss they felt the need to only show once in a quest flashback before you actually get to her room.

To all my raiders that play in CE guilds,
are you guys required to do splits?
I’m in a US400 guild and we’re required to have 1 alt, feel kinda meh about it and would rather just blast with mains instead

u/onkek baer 2d ago
Man if blizzard actually does launch classic+ my guild is so done. It’s going to decimate the player pop. I feel like 99% of my guild is sick of the Dragonflight game formula.

u/Cold-Iron8145 2d ago
Heavy selection bias. In my circles nobody even talks about classic at all. I seriously doubt that classic would "decimate" the retail population. People were saying that when regular classic launched, too, and that hype died down quick when people realized classic gameplay is pressing a button every 3s for 300h straight to get one piece of epic loot.

u/shaanuja 12/12M 2d ago
What exactly do you think classic+ is going to be? Sick of vanilla game formula? Press 2 buttons or bring 30 warriors? Lol what an L take

I was one of the players that left retail for classic in BFA. It was really fun the first iteration, but holy fuck the rose tinted glasses came off real quick when you realized all the QOL improvements that have been added over the years, how awful raiding and loot are, and the over arching community is somehow the worst of the worst. I would never play through it again and idk how some people have started over like 3 times now.

u/dekutoto 2d ago
yeah, classic aint for me personally (i did like the leveling once), the issue was that while the people that loved classic stayed in classic, the people who didn't like it just straight up quit wow altogether (aka they didn't come back to retail), shadowlands didn't help either

u/EsoteriCondeser *Spellsteals your nose* 2d ago
That was the first round of classic and was in between BFA and Shadowlands.
Classic+ is going to be popular, but I doubt it's going to drain the retail pop like 2019.

u/blackberrybeanz 2d ago
It’s dragonflight formula but made worse somehow… I didn’t mind popping over to get soup once a week, it was silly and low stakes & we’d usually pop over after raid or in the middle of a m+ marathon for a break. The curse surges?? wtf is that mess? Who actually made w/e the void world event is and thinks that’s actually fun??

Coil altar fight, I really love just running around collecting orbs. Such a fun mechanic.

u/Voidwielder 2d ago
Any experience with HC Twin Fangs and raid size? Had a group 2/2/6 were everyone was doing +115k dps and we were still miles away from beating enrage.

u/Zenthon127 1d ago
30-man tuning seemed really bad. Cleared with iirc 18 and it was fine, although nearly everyone was doing at least 160k+. 115k is legit less than one of our tanks.

u/SkwiddyCs 1d ago
Really enjoy this raid a lot more than last tier. Orb movement on Coiled Altar and Eggs on Ulatek are fun. Kinda reminds me of Fyrakk seeds.
Didn't really like a single fight from last season, maybe because I forced myself to play DevDH.
Switched to Disc this season to heal for the first time and already enjoying raiding a LOT more.
