WOW World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

hehe lol, wow rumors and innuendo!

 

But a friend of a friend, whose mate raids after midnight told me it was today

 

Geez.. heroic modes on PTR now?

 

I really hope they make ICC a truly epic sized raid (both in content and actual size) but don't go overboard with trash. Like Ulduar was awesome in scale and epicness but the trash was just a pain, while ToC is almost too short (well if you one shot) not having trash to be seen as a traditional raid.

I do like the fights in ToC and it is good to not have too much trash but imagine if it was just sort of like a raid full of Ony like trash (what is it like 5 pulls and boss). Something like that will help fill out the size of the place without making it seem rediculously long. Mind you I can't really see this happening and I think there will be waves of reasonably weak undead at points.

All this is having never done anything on the PTR so maybe people that have done some on there have more of an idea what we are in for.

 

This is not a new thing.

 

Nomnomnom Shadowmourne inc.

 

Give us a caster legendary you cheap fucks. Melee have had enough

 

We did have one, they removed it from the game....

 

Compared to... Hand of Rag, Thunderfury, Warglaive's. Maybe even Thori'dal depending on how your guild worked.

Thus far Casters (healers) have had Val'anyr. Atiesh doesn't count!

 

Casters did have a useful legendary (Ateish anyone). The only 2h legendary was hand of rag, and back then most warriors were tanks, paladins were cleansebots and dk's didn't exist, so it was kind of a pointless legendary.

On top of that, legendary weapons mean far less to casters than to melee as they're just a stat stick.

 

There isn't much trash in ulduar, most people skipped mim's trash while you could and you can skip a lot of Freya's trash. The trash in Vezax's room sucked but overall it was a great.

 

yeh i only find freyas trash annoying in Ul, most of its pretty easy

nothing like the trash clears from like AQ40 back in the day

 

OK well maybe ToC and Ony have spoilt me with the lack of trash but I still like the idea of like 5-10 mins of trash at most before a boss. Combine that with a 10 min boss fight and you should be getting a wing (say 4 bosses) in each raid down in an hour (once you learn the fights of course). For something like ICC then I imagine something that could be cleared in about 4 hours once people are familiar with the place. That would be a good mix of epicness (Ulduar) without just being a lootfest (ToC).

 

Uhoh! All T10 stats out!

DRAMA BOMB INCOMING



(heroic t10 from 25m not out)

 

I don't count Ateish. It was only out for 3 months or thereabouts before BC was released.

 

6 months actually, but yea

 

Chance on hit, to recast spell for double damage.

That'd be cool.

 

It was also useful in BC, if only at the start for the Kara port.

 

SO BAD MY GOD!
