Pleanty of new hotfixes announced today: http://www.mmo-champion.com/content...-Tuning-Hotfixes-Heirlooms-Tab-Twitter-Toggle

My class/spec got a slight buff so happy (until they double back on it)

Woogie · 13 Jan 2015 at 12:17

Looks like Prot/Glad warriors got a fairly large buff there.

Ayahuasca · 13 Jan 2015 at 12:21

Depends because Gladiator stance damage buff has been nerfed 15%.

Probably a small dps increase from buffing the individual abilities though.

ubersonic · 13 Jan 2015 at 14:00

According to early results its around a 1-4% buff for Glad depending on the amount of targets (the more the better).

Quick things noticed

33% nerf to blood boil ouch

5% nerf to rejuv - dont think my resto druid will appreciate that, i guess its in response to Germination being the default level 100 talent

ubersonic · 13 Jan 2015 at 16:24

The BB nerf accounts for about a 15% dps loss to blood, the real victims are bears, a 20k dps loss on mythic imp:

That guild lost 100k raid dps due to the hotfixes :O

Surely they've messed up there? 20k loss pretty much removes that spec from mythic raiding

Finally managed to clear 7/7 HC on my Hunter (670) with my guild on Sunday.

Now the grind comes attempting Mythic, we've already cleared Kargath and had some attempts last night on Twins.

Seems that people are dying from the charge mostly, 4 healers could've been the problem though I guess.

Managed to get in a raid with Treckie who just dropped out of Method, amazing how much better it was than a pug run on Heroic, shame we didn't get to try Imp as it was too late, I think that's when the group would have crumbled

Have you considered using more healers? he doesn't have an enrage or a berserk.

Yeah we actually tried this for a bit, but in the end we found i easier just cutting back to our players we knew didnt make a lot of mistakes, ended up cutting down to 14 people but at least we can start Mythic now.

Cheese method for Imp HC - take 30 people, with 10-11 of them healers.

Easy mode kill. My guild do this when pugging Imp HC with alts

Regarding the cheese method and have loads of healers, how do you manage the adds (both arcane ones and the ogers dring transitions) because surely they must have loads of life and take ages to kill

+ the adds in phase 4 which need to be killed, they must take a long tme too? dont you get a back log or do you just ignore them in the last phase and heal through?

DPS should still be high enough that you can kill both during first transition, with the 2nd dying just a few seconds after the boss comes back into the fight. Then on 2nd transition, pop BL/Hero and kill the Reaver and 1 mage, leave the 2nd mage and kill the boss.

As long as all the DPS you have pull at least 19k and you avoid bombs in the final phase you will do it no problem.

I always come back when a new expansion drops, left it a bit late this time so don't know what it was like at release. I enjoyed levelling up to 100, and the garrison adds a fair bit, but they need to make it account wide with the garrison, not going to be much fun doing it all again with each toon.

Enjoying the dungeons and hoping to be raiding in the next week or so, just need to get my ilvl a little higher, up to like 603 at the minute.

As always there are problems with classes, people moaning about this, moaning about that. But this is always the same and always will be. For me it's been enjoyable so far

sharpygsxr · 14 Jan 2015 at 12:49

I find heroics are pretty much useless now, get to 615ilvl and LFR is so easy that your more likely to get better gear quicker by running LFR. Then use heroics to fill the gaps.

Only reason i tend to run them is for the daily GR and the inn quests

Yeah we gave this a go we had 7 healers in a 17 man raid, but the extra healers were just making it harder getting in the way and jumping in bombs and stuff

I guess healers find it harder to move out of stuff since they have to click on screen, the one reason i never play healer, couldnt stand been a clicker. Just feels wrong when ya have been an FPS player for years.

Clicking healers don't need to click. Just use addon or mouse over macro
