Leveling up to 80 later really does suck. (was forum=69)Follow

I think just about everyone in my guild will take anyone with a pulse for heroics.

I've done that before. It works. The time spent armoring someone before a heroic just isn't worth it honestly. Raids ya I'll check, heroics who cares they are so easy it doesn't matter.

There is no MgT or SH anymore...

My point wasn't that Thaddius is a good measure of DPS potential (he's not). But when you can't break 3k with a 70-110% damage buff, you're clearly doing something wrong. And I tried to argue that just running through Thaddius is easier than making a big loop around him, but the leader didn't want to listen. It was kind of like driving past a car wreck, I knew I should leave, but I wanted to stay and see just how bad it got. Plus, I was bored.

Emblems of heroism/valor are being removed. It's literally on the official site; Emblems of CONQUEST are going to drop from heroics, raids etc.

Thank you Baron von Filterspawn, you took the words right out of my mouth and formed them into a sentence so eloquently put that I have to comment in this thread. I salute you sir.

Just so I can add to the topic I will say a few things dealing with it. Since Blizzard made raiding a lot more doable by everyone*, people have been pugging more and more. I will give them credit and say that they just want their attempt at said epics to succeed. But that is all the credit I will give these people that require ridiculous amount of dps to do some of the most mundane things. Pre 3.1 I was seeing people try to get a pug going for VoA, which I wanted to get me some t7 on my shaman. So I whispered the guy telling him that I was enhance and I can do a bit over 2k dps self buffed. He then told me that I need to l2p and he is looking for dps that can do over 2.5-3k dps. Mind you this is the 10 man version.

Now that Ulduar is out and people are starting to wear t8, I can't even find a 10 man naxx run due to the horrible dps requirements from the groups that pug. I mean hell 4k+ dps?!? Why would I hit up naxx 10 if I can do over 4k dps? Sad thing is it's not just one or two groups of people doing it, it's the majority of the server that is. The only groups that don't put such a heavy requirement on the dps are groups that epic fail at Anub'rekan. Like the OT never picking up the adds, dps standing in the Locust Swarm, healers just not healing (yeah I focused them to find out), etc....

*I refer to the relative ease that is naxx.

Yeah, pretty much this. 2.5k is not that hard if you have 10 men Naxx gear. Around 2k is easily obtained through heroics + gold. Heck, with those new BoE gear from Ulduar, new recipes and some badges gear(from heroics), you should be able to outdps someone with 10 men Naxx gear.

edit. Seens I hit the 1k posts! yay me!

I belong to a decent guild so PUGs aren't an issue for me.

Besides, the reality is that anyone making unrealistic requirements for joining their raid/group is a moron whom you don't want leading you anyway - all the better that you can't be involved.
