I just join as tank in my dps gear. If they can't keep me up they are rubbish.

I have 30k ub in my dps gear and its more than enough.

I got to say I agree with most of the above posters. My Warrior has 30k+ UB in DPS gear but I would never consider forcing an unknown healer to struggle and keep me up.

From what I red on here previously you were a good protection tank but using DPS gear to tank HoR is rather unfair, not to mention abuse of the LFG tool.

123 kills of the baron, no freakin drop. I know plenty of people who have got it in less than 10 runs.

No Zg mounts

No MGT mounts

No karazahn mount

No ashes of alqir phoenix bird thingy

Red qiraji mount never drops in AQ

I AM CURSED I TELL YE, CURSED!

To get the red qiraji mount kill the first 3 big guys (forgot name atm) and leave the 4th one. Run out the instance and repeat. I spent about an hour and half to 2 hours on this for the mount to drop. I did it solo as a Fury Warrior.

Baron mount took me very few kills, its just luck.

Occy mount can only be earned via joining Occy via Random dungeon. If you specifically pick Occy from the drop down list you have 0% to get the mount. It must be via Random Dungeon finder.

Just keep trying, its all RNG and eventually you will get one of the mounts.

Whilst i'm more than happy tanking randoms as in dps for guildies, i wouldn't dream of subjecting random people to the frustration of healing someone with a massive gear disparity.

Put it this way, i rarely run randoms on my dk atm, but generally run a lot on my warrior, simply because i enjoy tanking with them more.

My dk has more ub hp in dps than they both do as tank, yet even without block they would have far higher survivability.

I only tank as dps with people i know, simply because i know their capabilities and their gear, simply labelling people as bad because they have a hard time keeping you up in DPS gear i.e. minimal mitigation and avoidance makes you "badder" than them.

At least they have the decency to queue for their role with gear adequate for said role, whilstyou are doing nothing to fulfill the position of tank unless you have highly overgeared or lucky healers.

I agree with this. When your queued with random people you should give them the respect of at least queuing as a proper tank instead of just queue jumping because you cant be bothered to wait as dps like the rest of us.

To the guy farming mounts. I got my blue drake from occulus after about a week of doing random dungeons (was doing it for the reps also so no biggy) and then I got it. Last night my guild did an icc 25 run, I won 2 of the vanq tokens finishing off my 264 tier then we went to os253D and I won the twilight drake lol

Was a good end to a crap day

The Qiraji mount can only be summoned inside AQ cant it?

Yeah. It's a FoS though.

I thought red mounts only dropped after twins?

 

[NeverWinter]

No red mounts can drop from any trash, they're just rare.

Easiest dungeon in Wrath yet you use CC? That makes no sense and you clearly know it is not the easiest...

Which dungeon is harder??

Clearly you didn't get my point. I didn't mean easiest by the base difficulty. I meant easiest when not run with complete retards. Maybe I play with different people than you (and on most of my chars I am in a casual guild) but we interrupt, we aren't people who chain pull half the dungeon because contrary to popular belief it's not quicker (dependent on the group setup)

Adding basic CC to that dungeon makes it the easiest in WoTLK. When you look at all of the heroics back in 3.0 and compare their difficulty to HoR HC before it got it's nerf. Shadow Blasts destroyed tanks who didn't use CDs, Oculus was laughably hard for most people, the room with the patrolling guards/runeshapers in HoL etc. HoR is easier than those. As said above FoS is harder than HoR, PoS in some ways is harder.

This. There is nothing worse than appearing in HoR only to find some ret pally scum thinking they can tank because they have what they think is a lot of health (never mind the gear, stats, tactics, rotation etc). What usually follows is them making 2-3 attempts where they invariably blame the healer, culminating in them skulking off silently when someone spots they're not crit immune and they're unable to answer questions about why.

lol! i just went aq and decided to farm the 4 jakals at the start
I killed 3 of them and jumped out the instance so they would respawn
I got it on my second wave, 5 min of work ^^

See what I mean I did this for a little over an hour and got it

 

[Throrik]

edit: then again he plays a ret pally - its the same 3 buttons for any encounter. He wont have to do any cc, interrupts etc

Of course, of course the stereotypical response of someone who would make a dire Paladin, whether it be holy/prot or ret. Seeing as my basis of making HoR the easiest dungeon in WoTLK was based around CC you might want to read before you look like a tit

After about three or so weeks back playing the game after a near two year break, I'm done with it again. There is just too much bad about it now, along with the fact that the entire population seems to comprise mainly of idiots these days. I got to 80, got some nice items and so I'm done. It was good while it lasted when I first started playing but I don't think going back to it that I can ever recreate that 'magic' I guess.

You never gave it a chance. And if the server was "so bad" transfer. With Cata coming out its going to breath new life.

I agree with this but I still enjoy playing. When you play pretty much exclusively with friends the other idiots don't matter all that much.

Had more tries on LK HC, looks like maybe 3/4 weeks of this and we'll have him down. Used all of our 50 tries now, so Halion HC tonight.

World 17th unholy DK on LK Normal tho... pulled 16k on recount, but WoL shows it as 12 due to the downtime in the stupid roleplay Was over 1k more than next closest dps.

Would rather currently play arena, been playing Hunter DK Pala, and wow Shamans are op in arean atm. Eleshammy, pop Bloodlust and then QQ, its stupid amount of dps they can pull soo quickly on you. But getting there atm were at 1850 atm and are all in full relentless, apart from 1/2 items. And are beating full wrathfull teams, hoping for 2k tongiht or 2mz for the shoulders then aim is 2.2k for teir 2 weapons.

Did it the other day also and got it on the first mob and was shocked. Well second mob, killed the elite on it's own and then killed 3 of the four big guys and looted the first one and there it was.

 

[Frenzy]

Well.. I decided to farm the barons mount. I started on friday evening and finished sunday evening. I didnt go at it 24/7 but it was near enough with the instance limit. I think I got about 100 runs in...

Someone in the guild saw what I was doing and decided to give it a go, 1 run later the asshat got it! I almost punched my monitor out of frustration... I think I have OCD :<

I MUST finish what I have started dammit

Oh yeah I got the pansy rivendere sword, and the gate bugged twice meaning at the back of my mind I was thinking I BET IT would have DROPPED ON THOSE BUGGED RUNS!

I'm going to go cry in a corner and resume my farming after work tonight.

Clearly you dont kow the meaning of easiest

"I didn't mean easiest by the base difficulty. I meant easiest when not run with complete retards."

Huh? If you need "skilled" people to make it easy, it is not the easiest...

The fact that it requires CC and interrupts by your fellow players simply is proof that it is not as easy as the rest of the dungeons. Since no other dungeon requires these.

Who cares about dungeons 2 years ago anyways, its not the easiest now no matter what you say.

Tanks did not need to use CDs for shadow blast, the cast is so slow - I cant think of anything easier to interrupt.
Room with the patrolling guards/runeshapers in HoL... what about it? There have been rooms with patrolls in most of WoWs dungeons. Doing a correct pull is nothing new.

Why exactly is FoS and PoS harder? You can easily do them with a 30k hp tank. However you can not do HoR with a 30k hp tank without using CC and you need much better dps too. Just two example why HoR is harder.

Again, im not saying it is not easy. But you saying it is the easiest is just plain stupid - no matter how skilled/good/cool you are, or want to make youself appear.

Also, out of interest, when is chain pulling not faster?
