30+ now, not 40+ it's even worse after a fashion.

I still say the only valid reason for the BOTY change was DKs. I knew about the achievements from before Brewfest even started, that's why I did all the brewfest stuff I could last year and made sure I was a member of the BotM club.

Also, the BG stuff wasn't nearly as bad as everyone seemed to think it would be. But then again, I spent the last week and a half putting together a little pvp set, and managed to rack up 738 resil so far (it helped that I had a STOCKPILE of emblems of heroism sitting around) + being resto = I can survive 2-3 people beating on my like no problem at all.

Did 10 man ulduar last night, we downed Flame, Ignis, Razor, XT, Council, Kolo, Auriaya, Thorim, and then only had time to down Freya's keepers. Gonna down Freya herself tonight and then try Hodir and Mimiron for the first time (we did a bit of Hodir before, but no educated attempts really.) Hopefully we can start some of the hard mode achievements soon. We missed Disarmed again because we keep dpsing Kologarn too far down so his arms kill him rather than us getting the killing blow. Laame =\

We went into Ulduar at 1AM for some reason today. We knew we'd one shot Flame Leviathan but we were hoping to go to Emalon right afterwards. The fight for WG started right after we killed FL so we decided to attempt Razorscale.

Here's the funny part. We had one healer and two DPS who could heal. So I'm using Chain Heal after a Wing Buffet and also to keep the tank up if I feel like it's necessary, and the other DPS is doing something similar. One of the tanks goes down at about 35%, so the other tank has to live with the debuff. We actually managed to keep him up with alternating DPS / heals and got the boss down with 15 stacks of the Flame Buffet on.

None of us has killed him before, and only a handful had even tried it before.

We wanted to go to XT next but it was pretty late. I ended up with the Ironscale Leggings for my resto suit, though I wanted the trinket...

We did the same thing last night. Went in for Ulduar10 and 2-shot Razorscale and 1-shot Deconstructor. Razorscale, I've decided, is pretty easy with smart tanks and good DPS, and Deconstructor you basically just have to have a raid leader who is constantly calling things out during the fight because there's a lot to keep up with.

We had a bunch of trouble on Kologarn because the healing was bad though. Has anyone else used NR to reduce the huge amount of damage in that fight at all?

Yes, hunter aura.

I recently got back into playing WoW and made a death knight. I like to Pvp so do these guys pvp well?

[Ground_Breaker]

Yea if you like being a complete tool and Death Gripping everyone for hours.

[Solid Dreams]

Actually pre 3.1 someone made a macro that was all the DK skills and went into arena, and wiped up.

I don't think it's possible now, but they're pretty good still.

I've never actually gotten death gripped before, they usually don't want to pull you out of whatever aoe is going down if they're smart :P

The first three fights are definitely a "you need to know what to do" type thing. When our guild started running Ulduar on our mains, we had trouble with bosses like Razorscale and XT, but after downing them once, in the following week, we stopped wiping on them and instead, one shot everything. We recently tried running Ulduar on our alts, who are mostly 10 man Naxx geared and a couple heroics and downed the first 3 bosses on the first attempt with little problem.

Same thing with prot warriors.

One of the other tanks in my guild(prot pally), told me to macro everything to one button, and keybind it to my mousewheel.

iirc, it was;
/castrandom Devastate, Shield Slam, Revenge, Concussion Blow, Shockwave, Heroic Throw
/cast Heroic Strike

It was ok, but I actually pushed more threat without that bull**** macro.

[Grandiagod]

That macro is gross and would be terrible.

[devonin]

Hunters do one-button macro fighting all the time.

You just have individual lines for each cast of your primary abilities, and if one is on cooldown it'll just go down the list until it finds one that isn't on cooldown, and you just hammer on the button and you have to think even less than normal with a hunter.

[Gano]

School of Hard Knocks was dumb but doable with a small amount of commitment, I will be angry if Blizz removes it.

[Solid Dreams]

The only macro I should use on my prot warrior (and forget to) isnt even a macro. Just want to bind my heroic strike to my mouse wheel, so I can scroll and cast it. Fingers start to hurt after mashing it for awhile.

I thought most Surv hunters have to do actual timing to get their dps high?

[Sir Psycho]

My avoidance macro says I'm at about ~72% avoidance. Which I guess is pretty good for a prot warrior. BUT, I find that I can't HS spam like I could in Naxx(I think I actually ran at about 65%). I have rage issues in the new content, it actually gets to the point that I have to TURN AROUND just to get rage. I mean, 1 hit from a boss will give me 100 rage, but I dodge/parry/attacks miss me so often I burn off almost all my rage and I have to feed off white hits to get off a Shield Slam or to renew Devastate.

[Squeek]

The only macro I want is something that makes it so I'm not just mashing 1 and 2 when I'm in a vehicle for Flame Leviathan. It hurts, it's annoying, and IT HURTS.

I don't know how vehicle macros would work though. I just need something like

/use Mortar
/use Anti-Air Rockets

on the scroll wheel.

[tsugomaru]

The only macro I've made is one that would acquire a target and have my Shadowfiend attack it. My Shadowfiend gives me mana back when it attacks and back in the day, when I used it, it used to just sit next to me and there was no pet bar to help me get it to attack something.

[Tokzic]

mashing hurts :<

maybe i just have demon fingers but i did ulduar 25 and ulduar 10 back-to-back three days in a row last week and i didn't feel any finger pain

[Kagome]

Mimiron down (both 10 and 25 man)

Fun fight even though he's a massive dick.

[Solid Dreams]

Rogues dont spam as much as warrior tanks do. shaddup.
