Personally, I feel like Thunderforged gear would have worked better as a secondary item upgrade system. For instance, instead of bosses occasionally dropping thunderforged level gear, bosses would...

Jin'rohk likes to use Static Wounds before throwing the tank for the first time. A helpful strategy our group found was to have the debuffed tank taunt just before the throw, so he would get thrown...

With all the tools Blizz has to modify gear (ilvl scaling, transmog, etc.) I don't see why they couldn't just solve the problem with the introduction of a new spell for Holy Paladins at lvl 85.

As soon as you said Eddie Izzard, I knew exactly where you were going with that. Well, either that or something about poking badgers with spoons.

Grats on your first tankspot guide Solarflair.

I like the new format because it gives you time to digest each mechanic and see how it plays out in the battle, but I agree with others that you...

I honestly don't think Proving Grounds leaderboards are a good idea. Beyond the gear conundrum discussed here, there is the other factor of class imbalance that would stifle the implementation of...

This sounds familiar...oh right, I had this idea at the top of pg 2. Regardless, it's still a good idea and I'm glad others agree with me.

Regardless of how this is implemented, theorycrafting the 'best' combination is always going to happen. The real issue is creating a system where there are a number of 'best' options, not just one or...

My bucket list is too large. I just know I'm not going to make it by the end of the xpac, but my top priorities are:

1. Get Loremaster on my shammy. I only need to do 4 zones in Northrend and most...

You're not wrong, I was commenting on oddjobhat's suggestion that you lose the swapped ability.

I play a resto shammy. If our resto druid stole my Spiritwalker's Grace and gave me Prowl instead, I'd be pissed. Especially when my tier set helps my SWG.

No, I don't think swapping like that...

Yes, that's powerful, but its not interesting. If it worked like that it just becomes another buff, but one that significantly more powerful than anything else that any other class can bring.

There is a bigger problem than just raid balancing with Symbiosis (which don't get me wrong, is a big problem with its current implementation). I really think the bigger problem is balance of the...

So I was wandering the WoW forums earlier and I found the thread this is about. After reading about it, its certainly exploitative and very underhanded of the guild that 'stole' the kill. Here's what...

Yeah, if guild A had to PUG someone all the way up to Madness, that PUGed player could then take the lockout back to his own guild. Yes this seems like a dirty tactic, but there are a few other...

I've added -- Hagara = Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down -- to the playlist. Not only does the song have a good adrenaline maintaining beat to it, but I've found it's an oddly humorous choice.

I'm currently coming up with a boss battle playlist for our DS raid. I want to have truly epic music to play during boss fights, and I think I'm doing good so far. The following list is in the 'Boss...

Priceless. I laughed the hardest when one of these would remind me of someone in my guild, or guilds past. Thankfully, in my curent group (10-man) we really only have one Multitasker.

Here are a...

I'm looking forward to seeing all the new glyphs, and hopefully seeing what the last tier of shaman talents will have in it.

Also, I'm looking forward to pokemon....er...pet battles. I've got over...

I guess I'm looking at it from a sheer mathematical standpoint, but I can see the psychological implications of the 'X players get loot' approach. I guess it feels like you're 'losing' a loot roll,...

No, you're comparing difficulty and loot distribution, and trying to imply loot distribution.

You can't use the transitive property here. The statements "LFR is as difficult as BH" and "BH is a loot pinata" doesn't mean "LFR is a loot pinata".

Thats like saying, "Poop is the same color as...

LFR is supposed to let casual players experience raiding, and a part of raiding is sometimes not seeing loot you want for awhile. I personally have been raiding DS with my guild for 1.5 months now,...

Lore, I don't really understand your issue with the game selecting X number of players to get loot per boss. You said that players would be fine if the game uses a personal RNG roll to determine if...

I realized my math was a bit off for the 4pc comparison. So, while it doesn't change things that much, I'm adding it for completions sake.

For all my calculations, I assume a 15% haste buff from...
