So I only PUG now and I’m just planning to do normal mode tomorrow, I’ll get the chain done that allows me to do hard mode next week though.
Anyone jumping straight to hard mode with alt/reset mechanics? I’m actually already planning that I won’t Join any groups I’m going to start my own so I can make sure people are at least aware of the key mechanics.
Mythic only for now which drops 226 I think. But you can activate a hard mode after your kill the first boss once and they start dropping 233 loot. There’s some ways to do hard mode week 1 as well but I’m hoping to just chill and enjoy it, wipe a few times, get no loot lol
I may hold off and be picky, I’m geared enough and knowledgeable enough about that if a semi-build group needs a tank or healer I can hop in with them and do it. Otherwise not getting 226 gear is almost as good as not getting 233s lol
depends how difficult normal mode is going to be tomorrow. if its easy enough, ill jump into hard mode to see if i can clear it. that is if its fun in the first place.
No one even knows how hard mode activates or works. Honestly better to do normal mythic difficulty first to learn mechanics THEN hard mode when figured out.
You can, you just won’t get hard mode loot off the first boss.
Kill the first boss, get the neck.
Have one person swap to an alt, reset the instance, enter new, fresh instance. Person on alt gives lead back to someone else, comes back on main, bam all bosses are up.
Still, its not something everyone can just walk into with full knowledge. I as a “hands on learner” need to learn mechanics from failing and wiping and experiencing it. Watching a video of a hard mode boss fight will not help me because my muscle memory does not know how to react until I experience it.
Whatever the standard mode is. I haven’t looked up any information on the dungeon, so I’m going to be surprised by everything. If I somehow accidentally stumble upon hardmode, so be it. Only thing I know about Tazavesh is it has something to do with brokers and, of course, there is a pirate dragon.
Unlike Kara where you just had to clear to the 5 crystals in a time limit or mechagon where you could stumble upon them by clearing the first 3 bosses with HK-8 overhead. Tazavesh’s hardmode is not something you can just “stumble upon” unless you explore every nook and canny while talking to every npc that you can talk to. Even then, once you get the item needed (and everyone in your group needs it), you have to wait until next week or get a friend or alt that has a fresh lockout to do hardmode. Since you have to kill the first boss to get the item that triggers hardmode.
