You know, you can farm normal VP and SC for the mounts, right? The drop rate is reportedly the same.
I get that seeing someone snag something you’ve been trying for is frustrating, but I feel like you’re taking it a bit personally.

Timewalking needs better rewards, then I’d do it.

Not sure if anyone said this already, but I noticed today that bosses are dying WAYYY faster than they did before. Honesty too fast. It’s a joke. The last time I did these they took a little long to kill but the time it takes to kill them now is much too short imo. I enjoy the difficulty of these dungeons (I LOVE healing them, they aren’t even that difficult if you have a tank who knows what to do, cc etc) and I hope this gets fixed/stay the same as before.
I’m not sure the reason you are angry about these, just thought I would rant lol

What problems have you been having with cata timewalking?
In all the groups I’ve been in the bosses have died quickly and the trash melts like butter. I haven’t encountered anything remotely difficult. Are you getting groups where people just afk auto-attack and stand in fire?
They just bad, once they learn how to play things will be fine. I did my 5 and it went smooth and got them all done within 2 hours.
Flamecore Ember is spawned. Antekryst uses +speed boost potion and grips Flamecore Ember to him, popping all defensive CDs before Unstable Flare hits. Takes no damage and is back to tanking the boss to its face. Eazy peazy…
Much easier if you’re a tank class that is actually mobile!
Do you also need half competent dps? CC’s and such?
When I tanked it earlier on my prot warrior I told my group what to look for and it took a little over a minute. It’s really not that hard if you communicate with your team. Not doing so just makes the group wipe and wastes everyones time.
It is interesting, I had completely forgotten about that dungeons mechanics. It was muscle memory though, tanking Jaina and seeing that on the ground.
I ran over it and instadeath. Thought I just killed myself on something for no reason, and wondered why did I just do that. The party remained alive and killed her though.

I been through that fight a few times now. No one ran over it, and it seemed to only hurt party less than 20% of their health, maybe even 10%. Which is an insignificant amount. A mechanic to NOT stand in.
I guess the mechanic changed. Your muscle memory was correct for times before this run of Timewalking.

Wrath Timewalking came out 4 years ago.
Have people really been running these same dungeons for 4 years now?
So you are upset that people are having good luck with RNG…? Kinda seems like a petty reason to get mad to be honest.
Yeah, that is the frustrating part with Timewalking in this expansion, even more so than in Legion considering we have 4 slots that basically can’t be replaced with TW gear as opposed to just a weapon slot (which was far rarer)
That’s a pretty valid complaint honestly for anyone 110-120 who still need gear.

Thanks for the update there. I’ll stop suiciding or aspect of the turtle/divine shield on those things thinking I’m saving the group lol.
Last time I jumped on it as a healer it hit me really really hard. Hard enough that if I hadn’t also interrupted the AoE from the boss I would have died.
Being in groups with nobody else doing mechanics is the worst, but it’s what happens when you can queue for dungeons that haven’t been relevant in years and only show up for a week every few months.

Agreed. I laughed at my healer and the one other dps who died to Ozruk from Stonecore yesterday. It never fails and I always look forward to laughing at players that die from him (because I used to back when Cata was live content). One of the easiest bosses to avoid mechanics from IMO, even easier as a DPS/Healer.

Ugh don’t say that name. Had a wipe on him yesterday because literally everyone but myself and a mage got stomped, second attempt lost 2 dps, but the tank moved thankfully. Then I ran a TW on an alt later and same thing. Both times people were warned, nobody listened.

TBH I haven’t set foot in a cata dungeon since CATA.
Doubt I recall any of the fights.
CATA was my serious pvp / arena phase.
Only ran every instance a few times back then.
Since I main a Blood DK, welp I will tank it with guild friends and it will be fine, but otherwise, pug, no thank you.

I off-tanked that one time on my Havok DH, after tank splatted. Brezed a few tanks on my Boomy.
I dont know why ppl queue as tank, and admit they have never been in the dungeon before (people do this, AND some dont listen when I describe mechanics). I had a rare few tanks came in blind, but were very fast learners, those were some good tanks imo.
Open Letter to Every Tank
In Stonecore please don’t try to skip trash. It doesn’t work. It never worked. It only breeds severe headaches.
Had a DH tank in Stonecore on my DK the other day who kept trying to skip past every. single. trash. pack. up to Ozruk. Every single pack got pulled as he was trying to whizz by, he refused to listen to our pleas.
Then he proceeded to die to Ozruk’s Shatter six or seven times before I said f-it, threw on Blood spec, and waiting to tank him when the DH inevitably got Shatter-splat again.
It was not a fun run.
