** Official World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Thread**

haha

Yea i know about clothadins and it does not affect my plate bonus etc so i see no reason why not to.

I think its just the purist in me is saying do i want a shield or do i want to hold "Fan of Knives" or whatever it is :p
 
Solo'd Magtheridon on my Brewmaster Monk.

Had the 450 ilvl PvP crafted set, neck from scarlet halls. Nothing exceptional, pretty much fresh 90 stuff.

Free 20 slot bag get!

Brewmasters have amazing sustain against old content. Nearly 48k of absorb thanks to Guard, 17-20k heal (15 sec cooldown, or cooldown free when at or below 35% hp), as well as healing spheres via gift of the ox.

Also got the emergency healing sphere that'll heal for 22k, you can have 3 of these.

Finally, if anyone has Cata but not MoP you can get a 10 day trial of MoP.

Funny you should say. I also solo'd Maggy yesterday, and Gruul, and BT up to the council where I came unstuck. I'm a 453 Ret Pala and can't seem to put out enough sustained damage to power through Malande's constant healing. Would have to think up a new strategy for my tries next week. On my hunter it easy.

My solo 'raiding' so far include full clears in TK, SSC, Kara (wows!), and Naxx10 normal mode. Patchwerk is a bit of a pain as you're spending most of your time healing. On my hunter he's nothing. I'm yet to try Hyjal but I think I'll be good up to Archimonde where the pain will start. In SWP Brutallus stops me dead on my Ret Paladin. I get him down to around 60% before I'm deaded.

Fun doing these old raids.

Rets are so bad right now no DPS unless the cooldowns are popped.

No you're right. My biggest gripe is the unpredictability of it too. With trinkets popping and boss stationary I can sustain 80-90k dps. No trinkets it can be anywhere from 70-40. Just makes no sense. Granted my gear blows and RNG in HC's are messing me up bad, but all my other toons (hunter, DK, rogue, Spriest, Mage) get consistent DPS, either good or bad, but at least consistent.

But I've always played the underdog class in every expansion. Not by choice, it just happened that way. Pally tank in BC playing 2nd fiddle to Wars/Bears. Spriest in WOTLK, playing 2nd fiddle to, well, all. Spriest again in Cata and now Ret/Hunter, both not great DPS.

I live in hope for buffage soon!

Rets arn't getting jack in the next big patch. They have turned RET's into a warrior with a lot less DPS and less tools, we're not what i would call a hybrid class anymore as we can't self heal to to literally save our lives. And as soon as wings are popped you are CC'ed to hell. Yet another hybrid class the feral druid can do awesome DPS, is so ellusive, and can self heal awesomely tis not fair.

Hey guys, I am thinking of getting back into WoW, most MMO's just aren't grabbing me enough really! What I want to know is, are there many new players still around? I haven't played since WOTLK, has it changed much? and what kind of framerate can I expect with these specs: 3ghz proccessor, 8gb ram, 7850 2gb GPU.

Thanks guys :D

Finally got my Ret to 460GS and will probably jump in LFR if I have time tonight to see how I do. After a good spate of upgrades yesterday (two trinkets, shoulders and legs) I'm pulling much better DPS now. Clocked 116k DPS on first boss in SPM after a burst of near enough 140k. Though, I'm chugging 20sec 4k strength potions along with 200haste food. Am also a miner so get the haste buff.

Things are looking better. Now I'm just waiting to get destroyed on Recount in my first raid.
 
Man I'd hate to be a DPS and not be in top 3 parses all the time, it would just frustrate me so much to think that others have done better than me. Hence; I think that's why I've never actually played (or atleast mained) a DPS spec/class. Oh and because of the diabolical queue times for dungeons/raids. I'd hate not to have an insta queue. Thought it is strange, because I love doing copious amounts of damage.

I got to 90 last night with my panda monk, not sure what to do now :o

I got a quest from the black dragon guy but I'm not sure how to start the dailies everyone is talking about?

Go to Twin Monoliths in Vale of Eternal Blossoms. It's right about middle of the map. Do the chain of quests you get there. That'll unlock the Golden Lotus dailies. Klaxxi dailies you should be able to find as you only need to go to Dread Wastes. Can't remember the name of the area but it's the main hub.

Tiller dailies is obviously at Halfhill in Valley of Four Winds.

But above it all, just go to Shrine of Seven Stars in Vale and grab all the starter quests for all the faction dailies there.

Good info, thanks :)
 
Ran my first LFR in MV last night and managed a whole clear and a 2nd clear of the latter bosses, trying for that 2H sword at Elegon but no cigar. Dunno if it's just me or I'm not seeing it, but it's pretty much tank and spank in there.

What did made me smile is my 3rd place finish overall with 44k DPS ... And first two spots also taking by Ret Pallies. Does make me feel much better about actually bringing something to a raid apart from buffs. Spoke to a few Ret Pallies on my server in the top guilds and they showed me links to raid parses where they often finish top or top 3 spots in raids. Maybe that only says something about the rest of the DPS but at the moment it feels like we're in business.

Does the LFR only let you run MOP content or is there older raid content as well?

I've only seen 1 raid so far and I solo'd it :o

You could use the LFR to do the Deathwing stuff if you were still 85, but apart from the no the LFR doesn't work with older content. There was talk about having it for the older raids but who knows!
