Casual guild experience 5/8 how we see the raid so far

Actual casual dad guild experience for everyone

first boss easy great boss

2nd boss was over nerfed she didn’t need 25% health reduction maybe like 10%

Drake boss- nerf the whelps health to like 400k and make his enrage timer like a minute longer fixes him he does need some kind of nerf

Dock boss easy fun once you learn mechanics

Beast master get rid of bear one shot mechanic super dumb having any type of one shot quick mechanic and that fixes that easy fight

Can we get rid of like half the adds by chance like a hour sink

Ran out of time gonna try council Monday but from what I’ve seen people say council definitely needs nerf but haven’t seen the fight yet.

People crying that’s its too hard but it’s just learning mechanics like how people were saying Kara was too hard when first released, some stuff is overturned but give it next couple weeks I’m sure devs will tweak the bosses mechanics/ health and damage

“People crying that’s it’s too hard need to learn mechs”

followed with a long list of large mechanics nerfs to the raid

comparing it to Kara is def a stretch. My guild went in blind and cleared with a bunch of drunk players in under two hours. The problem with KC was the multiple bugged bosses and how people found the darkness to be gimmicky.

The problem is that we’re playing the most jank client patch in the history of the game. Even in SoD, your toolbelt is mostly offensive abilities and movement is extremely limited. When you start stacking retail-like mechanics and tons of trash, it gets hectic and doesn’t feel like we’re playing Classic.

Ranged classes needing to move constantly, pets getting annihilated by boss mechanics etc. They made this work in retail because the classes were designed to play fluidly.

:rofl:

Strikes me as the type who advertises, “Totally casual dad guild. Must have full consumes, all world buffs, perfect enchants, no meme specs.”

“But we’re totally casual.”

I assume u got 5/8 with a 20 player roster correct. Raid is supposed to be balanced for 20 players. If u brought any more than 20 then saying ppl need to just learn mechanics is funny and ur a bozo. Players with a raid of 30+ getting only 5/8 is laughable since a raid of 30+ should crush content balanced for 20player raids.

dang u only went 3/5 huh thats rough

Mason and Beastmaster felt a bit much at 20 man with a solid geared group not doing cheese strats. Guild likely will be picking up more dps as it seems many other guilds are doing

Ye I feel 3/8 with 21 is very good. I’m not running a 40 man raid like you want. My guild like majority runs with around 20. Where sod has been balanced around. I personally think they should tune the raid around 20 like they have in the past. Ok you think everyone should just bring 30+ for whatever reason all of a sudden and that the raid doesnt need nerfs because we should all be bringing the maximum we can like era.

If you raid while having a beer or smoking a bowl you’re a dad. That doesn’t mean you’re an idiot.

I’m tired of ultra bad players pretending they are the norm. The most popular guild in Retail is an AOTC guild. You can’t auto attack your way to AOTC. It might take you weeks to beat what the sweats beat in one sitting but you play the game as a player of the game who engages in the gameplay.

Dads can put up blue parses from time to time. If you have zero blue parses you’re not a dad you’re just awful at the game.

You had me at casual dad guild, but you lost me at the rest of your post.

Dad guilds are supposed to be the complete opposite of “Why y’all cryin? This is so easy with full consumes, full WBs, max gear score, max chants, and having all the time in the world without wife/baby aggro”.

You say dad guild, but is it though?

Getting naxx gear doesn’t require sweat or skill. I had the displeasure of participating in a raid (an AQ40) where one of the three tanks had full Naxx gear but threw a fit and quit when he was asked to tank an add. Straight across the board grey parses but he had full Naxx gear.

Asking a player to have full Naxx gear is literally nothing. Stop trying to make up some pretend person and saying that raid is a failure because the raid doesn’t pander to said fake person.

To be honest though, Naxx gear is only really useful in Naxx and/or against undead.

I agree that Naxx was not hard at all, except for maybe Sapph and KT on HM4. Heck, even I grey parse a lot, but I always end up doing the average amount of DPS (sometimes I do above average), but I’ll still end up grey parsing.

Not sure where you’re gettin at in that sentence. I never said or even suggested the raid was a failure.

My money is on you’re not a casual dad guild. Dumbing down your title is a weird flex in the wow community. It’s the equivalent of lowering the bar so you can make yourself look like a pro gamer within your own circle.

Dads can attain AOTC. Stop trying to lower what dad or cause means. It doesn’t mean “terrible”.

They sure can, I’m a dad and attain AOTC. Stop normalizing using the word “casual” when you’re not.

My comment was him defending the current state of SE and using his title as a dad casual guild on the same plane of existence.

If you can attain AOTC you will eventually clear this raid.

That’s your opinion pal, stick to it. AOTC on retail can be attained with PuGs. There’s some tuning they need to do to keep their promise that SOD raids were tuned for 20 man. This isn’t the case with only a few guilds having done it past 5/8 on week 2.

Guy, it took the majority of guilds 6 or more weeks to clear Naxx. Target clear date for dads is probably closer to 8 weeks.

This isn’t like retail where bis is only a 26% dps upgrade. SE BIS is close to 50% more DPS. There’s also the ICC aura. Just keep at it bud.

Sorry what? 6 weeks to clear SE? it’s been out for 2? Think you need to check your replies carefully instead of rage commenting. Take your time, I’m here all week.

Your numbers are extremely off to claim 50% dps upgrade for bis from tier to tier. If you’re speaking on one class, that’s a different case.

Full clears do not take dad guilds 8 weeks. Also let’s not compare retail to SOD, there’s alot of nuances to retail that keep it in it’s own category of speed, I shouldn’t even have entertained that comment you made about AOTC.

God bless you. Guy.

Obviously I meant Naxx, take a chill pill. :pill:

:blush:

They’re not, go look at sims.

Many guilds only recently cleared HM4 Naxx.

To be clear, this isn’t an argument, I’m giving you facts. We can argue about whether we think it should or shouldn’t be this way but I have no interest in whether you don’t agree with the facts.
