I'm looking at you Grim Batol! Geebus even with weakening and killing some of them off with the red drake fly by that place is densely trashulatedâ„¢.

The GB trash is easy once you know which pulls are tricky and makes sure to hit them extra hard with the dragons. The dragon part really makes or breaks that place's trash. The mixed pull after the guy that is on dragon for the middle part comes to mind as one that really need to be softened up or will make you want to /wrists.

They need to have a "Rated" LFD. I'm not sure how it would work, but last night I hoped into a guild run (I was the odd-man-out) and they were clearly idiots.

The Rogue was drunk and kept casting holiday charms and stupid crap. The healer went OOM or very close to OOM on nearly every pull. This isn't a problem - I know he was learning... But he didn't drink after the fight. Then the jackass DPS start with the "gogogogo". I told them he needed mana. The Druid tells me it's fine, I'll just envenerate him....

I don't know how they could do it - but the LFD system is in jeopardy as it currently sits.

I'm pretty sure when the vast majority of people say that they are drunk/high/etc it is just them saying 'I'm a jackass and I'm going to *&$# around the entire time'

I really like the idea of the CC aspect of heroics. What I don't like is how long it takes. If you're going to have to spend time planning pulls and CCing and marking, then there should be less pulls overall. One hour per heroic seems a little out of hand for my linking. I get fatigued of having to try really hard after about 30 minutes of constant vigilance. This is why I don't generally raid.

I replaced that mote with the heroic dragon partially because there's more stamina and dodge and partially because that let me gem one for bear and one for cat.

I think Blizzard's going to be doing some tweaking as a result of the lack of leather tanking gear. Tanks may be supposed to gear for non-dps stats but we can't really avoid it, and my mangles crit for 20K+. When the tank bonus AP stacked high enough I even saw a 35K crit once.

So long as healers going OOM is a bigger threat than being inst-gibbed from back-to-back hits for more than my total health, I think avoidance wins out over stacking stam. That, and more Agi = More crit and AP = bigger and more frequent Savage Defense procs. That will most likely change in raids when Vengeance will actually reach full value more quickly and having a higher health pool becomes more important.

If you type in that item name at Wowhead.com, it gives you one item.

Finally did a heroic in a random yesterday and we all seen it coming, yea im a QQer and hate it. The one I got was GB . I don't see where they need to be this difficult. Yes towards the end WOTLK heroics were stupidly easy, but that don't mean we should have to spend hours to do something we are meant to do every day. Maybe I was just in a bad group (the fact that I was tank doing 2nd dps could be a problem). Group consisted of me with 124khp buffed (yea I know nothign amazing, but its a start), another feral druid doing **** poor dps (prob a tank trying to gear up without tanking), rogue, holy paladin, and warrior. Spent 25 min getting to first boss with 1 wipe over rogue getting too close and pulling instead of sapping.

I can understand not wanting players to be able to face roll every single encounter in a heroic, but I don't see what is "Fun" having to CC, mark, etc EVERY SINGLE FIGHT. This is just boring and downright annoying to spend this much time killing trash. Sad when trash in a random heroic is more difficult than going through ICC.

So finally get to the boss and after 5 wipes I was done. Every time he did blitz he 1 shotted whomever he hit unless it was me (which he only did it to me once). I guess this is a gearcheck sign but still we obviously met the minimum requirement to do the dungeon. I think everyone but the rogue had over 100khp. DPS wasn't too impressive though. Like I said I was doing 5500 on boss and ranking 2nd, the feral cat was doing 3000 and usualyl first to die. Our highest was the hunter doing 9k.

Anyways I just think heroics should be more casual. Heroics are something you generally do with 4 people that you may or may not ever see again (very likely not do with the new queue system). Yea you could get into a guild and run with guildies but for people who work that isn't always an option. You can't really progress with a group of people by running randoms with the PUG finder. A raid being this difficult is another thing. You get with the same group of people and you do it once a week, not once a day.

I think that VP normal has the perfect balance of difficulty to make it fun but not stupidly easy. You have to CC some of the encounters, but others you do not. It makes you think, but doesn't take away all of the fun and turn it into a tedious job.

I do hope every heroic isn't designed like H GB is though. If they want to make heroics this difficult they could at least at minimum have lvl 85 normal dungeon bosses drop a handful of JP to help gear players up. As of now without heroics we can get 70 jp a day and thats it. Heck even the ICC normal dungeon bosses dropped badges/points. This way people could run normals more than once a day and have a better chance at gearing up. Sure the 333 gear is good out of normal dungeons but it can be quite a hassle actually getting the 1 upgrade you need to drop, and even more actually winning it.

I haven't done GB yet (only 84), but from what I've read, Blitz is avoidable and should be avoided every time. I've heard he only targets ranged, so the only reason it may have hit you is if your ranged were all dead or you were in the line of Blitz.

Hey Fronglo!
Shoo! Begone.

Heroics right now are more fun than they've been since halfway through BC, lets keep it that way.
If you can't stand a challenge or if CC is too complicated for you please just stay away from heroics but don't go whining.
I don't want Blizz to nerf heroics because people like you can't deal with having to improve your skills.

One thing Blizzard did learn from WotLK, I hope, is that the initial batch of heroics will, eventually, be out-geared. Hopefully with each new content patch, they will release a couple new 5-mans like FoS/PoS/HoR to keep things interesting.
