Arena Update August 2010

-
Felruk and I have 20 more arena battles under our belts and things are changing, slowly. Unfortunately we are still only wining 30% of our fights. The fights we win are typically the battles where they attack him first.

This week was devastating. Typical fight is about 2 minutes long. We had 2 or three fights this week, where I died within the first 10 seconds. Yes, I am a clothy and I have less than 30,000 health, but when the melee dps doesn't focus on me, I can outlast Felruk.

Improvements:
incoming chaos bolt
  •  Felruk and myself have improved our communication. We still aren't coordinating our efforts to take out specific combatants, but better. Hmm, raid icons? I'll ask him to mark them next week.
  • Destruction is working nicely, in that it provides me a few escape mechanisms. In addition, I was able to do a nice killing shot using Chaos bolt. wwhhiiizzzz, drop! Sadly my Fears take longer to cast.
  • Both of us picked up a new piece of equipment, he still hasn't enchanted any of them yet though.
Disasters
  • I felt like I was constantly stumbling over the keyboard this week. Either it's my lack of practice this last week or still haven't fine-tuned my play style. Ok yeah, Cata-beta is impacting my Wrath play time. I still haven't even laid a lock portal down for an escape yet. Probably not a bad idea?
  • More DOTS! I need to cast dots on everyone! Darn it. Too many attackers are getting a free ride when I don't cast at least one dot. The healers need to work at dispelling my madness. Corrupt them, curse them, give'em pain. 
  • Hmm, wondering if the felpuppy is ideal for a destruction pvp build. He's got that great spell removal, but darn, low dps. Saucy Succy for the seduce? Dancy the Imp for the dps?
 10 Arena fights is about 30 minutes on a Monday night. I'll try some of these new ideas, succy + spam dots and see if we last a bit longer.

Any other ideas? I have 2 buttons on my mouse that I am not using..

    Holy crap on a stick. What spell is THAT?

    Reminds me of the Dragon Armanent from Custom Robo.

    That's chaos bolt from the receiving end.

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature developm

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra
