Yuuuup

See I thought I was doing pretty well, I did 10-50 doing almose 100% solo content with the main legion story line (one dungeon run per zone for a total of 4 dungeons in that time), got good at managing how much I’d pull and going ‘hmmm, that’s a bit to much to pull and live’ and actually learning how to manage my health/rage/when to maul or ironfur and the like.

Then I do SL content, get my borrowed power and it’s like ‘dang skippy I can actually do damage now?’ so I pulled bigger cause Convoke makes a massive difference even before you get binds unlocked. I’m having a blast, get to level 60, do a few heroics which we had 0 whipes in and only one death because some one decided not to do the ice dance in Necrowake. Things are good, I’m feeling good. So I decide 'hey, this is my first max level tank, lets que LFR on Denathrius. First time in there as tank, we cleared it, no whipe.

I did die but all the healers were kinda up the pally tanks butt the entire fight lol (I was #4 healer for the raid cause of needing to constantly pop convoke or frenzy regen as soon as off cd and took 38% of the total damage from it for a reference point on that)

Then this came along, something I spent all this time trying to work upto. I pull up a guide, it’s from the ptr, looks managable and doable, no problem I got this.

And then stress, anxiety, irritation…frustrationg…60 pulls…60 got dang pulls and I couldn’t get the first boss lower than 58% despite kicking his casts almost perfectly, and doing everything I can to deal with the nuke adds that are way to tanky for how much of a nuke they are…with the mega bad rng, the bugs that it has all the other issues…

All that time, all that effort, all that patience, completely and utterly invalidated by Blizz’s inability to make things reasonable for non Mythic ‘World first’ racers.

Although I didn’t specify this in my OP, I was actually thinking of the rewards. Most of my friends are saying the rewards aren’t worth the effort this time around. They want a bigger carrot on the stick for that level of challenge.

The mogs are recolor of a recolor of a recolor ( Black temple /TOS/MT) and some of those arent very appealing . I would have skipped it too but i want the felbear skin which i m startingv to think i wont be able to get coz the game is for 2% players .

Only reward “worth it” is the Felbear skin, that much is clear just judging by the sheer amount of complaint posts about the Guardian Bear challenge.

I scooped up the original skin after around 35-36 tries back in Legion (reasonable amount of tries for a casual), but this 9.1.5 version is a whole other level of difficulty :skull_and_crossbones: :skull_and_crossbones: :skull_and_crossbones:

I just stopped at around 62-63 attempts this time, just gonna wait for the nerfs rather than waste any more gold on repairs/consumables :laughing:

What are you talking about? Guardian is damn near impossible.

Sure about that? Here’s a few, there’s a bunch more… “we want the opportunity to earn them”
