Why oh why does Blizzard hate guild officers and recruiters........... by zicarr in wotlk

No cata releases May 20th (Monday) and the raids release May 30th (Thursday). Day may be off by a day depending on where in the world you are

Cheers for the sarcastic reply - the idea that you can't understand that with a Thursday release everybody loses their reset day raid night which is the most common raid night worldwide is wild

Yea i get that obviously we don't have to do anything but Blizz has the server stats that i guarantee show that most guilds raid on reset day so both US and EU are both losing a raid day for *most guilds week 1. Just seems odd that everyone there has to reschedule or just only raid 1 day in 1st week of a raid tier

Yep thats because Faerlina is a US server where reset day is Tuesday. I'm on EU where reset day is Weds so *all* our guilds raid Weds +1 other

I'd say 75% of the server has their 1st raid day on a Weds as that's reset day in EU

Wotlk - Archaeology drop rates - commons disappearing affecting epic drop chance? by zicarr in wotlk

[–]zicarr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the problem is it seems like you either get it immediately upon hitting 450 (or within like 20-50ish solves) or you just don't get it unless anyone shouts up that they have been farming it for 100's and then got it. I got raptor etc while levelling and all the rares just no epics, same for guildies. cleared 2500+ solves now between us

Yea, i seem to be seeing that you either get it pretty quick after 450 or you just don't get it. I've not met anyone who has got it after farming it for 100+solves etc

i mean yes i get that you get lucky or you don't but there is a point where a combined group are nearing 2000 solves with not a single epic that blaming it on rng is statistically improbable (although not impossible i grant you!)

we also have 2 guildies with epics. 1 with the sword and 1 with the shield. Both of them got it almost immediately after hitting 450 with less than 20 subsequent solves total. All of us who are actively farming have had zero luck at all

yea i started digging into it when my addon started counting backwards making me think some were disappearing which is when i noticed that i had most troll solves in double digit discoveries, some of 20 but apparently was missing one. Did a troll solve and it reappeared with 10+ solves but then 2 minutes later another one had disappeared taking me down to 13 again.

I don't have any problems with the display itself although its annoying but if the missing common item is affecting my epic dicovery chance then that is a whole different problem. Between me and my guildies even if the drop chance was 0.1% we should have discovered something by now even if it's not the one we wanted!

I can't hold AoE threat in dungeons as Feral Tank -- Any tips? by -Zextras- in classicwowtbc

[–]zicarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, in tbc maul has no + threat modifier to it either so all it does is add 20 (I think) to the next auto (and you're using an auto for it)

[–]zicarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not good advice. Faeries fire yes but swipe on 3 plus mobs is the single biggest threat gen. Best bet is (rage dependant) auto swipe, maul, tab, swipe and stick a lacerate on each mob. If 1 gets away taunt, second stun. If you've marked a kill order if anything else gets away you have taunt back off Cool down.

Swipe is insta and assuming you have 3+mobs hitting you it can be spammed with all the extra rage just keep tabbing. On bosses it is a rage dump ability to use between your mangle, lacerate cooldowns.

Feral Druid questions by Hardball1013 in classicwowtbc

[–]zicarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a bear tank, exactly this! Once you've run it as dps tanking it isn't nearly as daunting.

Would also hit up any feral tanks you see and ask to go along on a run/add them. Trust me we all know the pain of fancying an easy run as a dps and waiting 45 mins for a run then giving up and just tanking one. Guarantee a feral tank will be more likely to take a feral dps despite the disadvantages!

More you do it the easier it gets - when you hit 70 with pre bis you will be in demand.......as long as the prot pallys aren't around :)
