"Ula'tek AOTC Only"

How the hell am I supposed to get AOTC if people only accept AOTC??? I don't understand. I get that they want people to know the fight. I know the mechanics. I understand what to do. I have tried it a couple times, down to even 10%, but then something goes wrong and the group falls apart. How can I get this if I'm supposed to have already gotten this?? What can I do??

Retail Is the in game dps meter not accurate or is ret pally busted?

0 Upvotes

I'm leveling a Ret Pally, just hit 82, and I'm doing dungeons between quests and the last 3 since I boosted to 80 I've done between 45 to 50% of the total damage. That can't be right, right? Cuz I'm not that good, I'm literally just smacking the shiny buttons and not letting holy power cap. I have quest/dungeon gear and I have no addons installed because I didn't wanna mess with it right now. Is the in game meter bugged, or is it the level equalization for dungeons making the reading inaccurate. As much as I would like to think I'm just GOATed with the sauce, I would like to know my actual performance lol.

Retail Black bow of Betrayer Grind

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone !

Complete noob here. Currently Level 14 Hunter. I also have a lv 80 DK ( boosted )

I started playing wow recently mainly out of 2 reasons :

  1. Black Bow of Betrayer
  2. Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury

Long story short, when I was a kid I used to play a game that had these bows, they were my favourite weapons to play with. Recently I found out these bows are actually from WoW so in the spirit of re-living my childhood I want to grind these 2.

How early can I grind for these?

What level do I have to be to grind these ?

Do I need to have good items to finish the raid by myself?

Can I buy it from somewhere or is it just drop?

It would mean so much to me to get these, thank you in advance for the comments !

Retail DF Winterpelt Furbolg on an alt (can't find Kazzi the vendor!)

0 Upvotes

So I ground out the Winterpelt Furbolg (langauge plus rep) on one alt, and would like to buy the tailoring pattern on another alt - I had read that 'as long as 1 character in the warband does it' I should be able to see the vendor ... but I can't

Any thoughts/tips? Do I somehow need to do intro quests or such? Hopefully not the whole language/rep grind again 😬

Thanks!

Retail Where do I start?

0 Upvotes

So as of right now I have a level 20 Warrior and I’m doing Dragonflight, and I also have a level 6 Paladin. I can’t remember at level 10 do I asked if I want to do Dragonflight or War Within? I wanted to know if my level 6 Paladin could skip Dragonflight and if I do so is that okay/ do I get option to do The War Within/ how do I go about that?

Or is it better to just use the level 80 boost I got with the game and just go straight into Midnight?

Forever Quests XP, "out-leveling" & completionist VS variety

0 Upvotes

Hello!

I've played Classic Anniversary for a year, but I've got burned out by the "completionnist" mentality by some of my friends. I basically got tired of having to do ALL QUESTS of single zone, before moving out to the next one and repeating the same thing. Eventually, I found out that, combined with Dungeon Quests which made us basically do the same dungeon 3-4 times, we ended up out-leveling the current zone we were questing one, maybe even the next one.

I, for one, would much rather see as many zones as possible and experimenting as many dungeons as possible, instead of just "milking the cow dry" and doing the same dungeon 3-4 times.

The aforementionned friend and I had an argument about this again yesterday, so my question is this: how efficient is completing all quests in a single zone before moving to the next? Is it in my head that I feel like I'm not seeing some zones enough or at all because by the time we reach them, I'm already "out-leveled"? Is dipping my toes in a bunch of zones and a bunch of dungeons really that efficient?

What should my key bar look like 1-5 as a prot warrior hitting level 15, then level 20? I tanked rfc first time ever and got a 7/10 rating from the group. Someone else was putting out insane damage lol. Feel like if I were the higher level member of the group id have been holding aggro better... idk if its me, my keybar or me and my keybar.

Retail Struggling with M+ altar of fangs

7 Upvotes

Hi all,
I've tanked everything on my guardian druid in a +10 with ease but can't seem to get past the first area of Altar of Fangs on a +10. I'm pretty well geared: 315 ilvl with appropriate enchants and gems and what not all equipped, yet, every run I do seems to wipe one too many times in the first area where a vote to end the run occurs.
I've watched the all the available videos on YouTube on this dungeon but maybe I'm just not understanding timing of the mob abilities or positioning. Maybe I'm not popping defensives at the correct time? Seems my health just gets blasted down really quick even with my defensives up.

I guess my noob question for the community is:

  1. When do I pop my defensives and on what mobs?
  2. What positioning do I need for these mobs? Do I fight near the totems that need to be deactivated?

Sorry and thanks,

*edit and latest update:
Thank you everyone for all your responses and help, much appreciated. I was able to easily go through a +8 with getting the mechanics down with your tips. Maybe the difference makers were:
1. Don't get hit in the back
2. Soothe enraged targets
3. Stay away from totems pulsing dmg
4. Dont go through packs for the pulls
5. Typhoon or kite the melee stacks

Seems these mechanics in my end in the PUG solved us all from dying.

Thanks again all of you!!!

Retail Easiest class to excel at the Labyrinth of Kindo’jan?

27 Upvotes

I want to make a solid run at the Labyrinth. I thought Delves were alright, but after one run at the Labyrinth, I know this is the kind of content I want to be doing. However, I am a stupid, bad player.

I do have a lot of alts, and I could focus on any of several 90s, so I wanted to ask what you all think is the best, easiest class for an old gamer. When I run my Hunter in selves, I have trouble keeping my pet alive if it’s tanking, and I have trouble keeping Valeera alive if she is tanking. My Paladin can tank for days, but with Valeera healing it’s just so slow. Same if my Priest is healing Valeera as DPS.

Thoughts? Suggestions? My Druid and Shammy also have also have decent gear. None of my characters have spectacular ilvls but all are within reach of good upgrades if I focus.

Retail Deciding to play Retail, will use level boost. Please suggest a Rotation setup.

• Upvotes

I’m going to play retail MM Hunter, but I don’t know any perks or skills to use in PVE rotation as they will all be thrown at me immediately after using the boost.

YouTube just shows people fully geared.

I won’t have anything special so I need a barebones for a fresh hunter that’s boosted please.

Played WoWF looks like retail combat is better

Just so I don’t end up one shotting everything, would it make sense to stop my xp and just continue on? Or is there something I’m missing? I’m basically just wanting to quest and gather mats on one character and then my ults I’ll level all the way up.

Does this make the most sense? Thank you for the help!

Retail My hoarding problem

5 Upvotes

I am a bit unsure when is the right moment to use the crest I've been saving up.
I crafted 2 items with 80 hero crests each, but after that I stopped using them. I have no mythic gear yet, and I do have some hero 1-2 items. I m not sure if I should upgrade them, or if I should wait to convert the hero crests to mythic ones. The same for champion ones.
I have around 365 hero crests, 264 champion, 80 mythic.
No hero items higher than 2/6, and some champion 2/6 also.

Retail Currency here, there… absolutely everywhere?

9 Upvotes

I’ve played through Shadowlands, Dragonflight, and now Midnight. I’ve never really gave it a full send at learning the end game, but here I am now.

I’m playing a BM Hunter and at ilvl 275. I’m doing primarily delves and world quests and getting a whole lot of different currency.

I’m using it to upgrade my sets at vendors, at the lava forge thing to make the gear a set, and that’s about it. Some cosmetics here and there with the void light and delve currency.

What should I be doing with the currency though? I’m not a RPG noob in general, so the nagging feeling is that I shouldn’t be using any of my currency until I get to ”x” gear level where upgrades are more optimal.

I’m having to wiki everything. The use of the currency, where the vendors are (generally), and then Google images for where they are exactly. The where and what isn’t explained very well, but the how is solid imo. At least in terms of how to get the stuff.
