"Pre-pot every pull and pot again mid-encounter..."

1 marrowroot = 40 gold
5 marrowroot = 1 potion of spect. int. = (40gx5marrow=200 gold)
10 marrowroot = 2 potion of spect. int. = (400 gold)

Let’s assume we wipe 40 times in one night on 1 boss.
40wipesx10marrow=400marrow. 400marrowx40g=16,000g.

Let’s assume 100 wipes a week on any boss, assuming pot x2 every pull = 40k a week in post of spectral int. only per week.

Sometimes Marrowroot is 80 gold a piece on my server so just for the sake of math…

100wipesx10marrow=1000marrow. 1000marrowx80g=80,000 gold a week.

Finally, let’s assume you raid 3 times a week, therefore 150 wipes a week.

150wipesx10marrow=1500marrow. 1500marrowx80g=120,000 gold a week.

Do we really need to pot twice every attempt? I mean, really. Who is paying for 2x per pull potting??? 120k a week need to come from somewhere…

the rich people in game are desperate to use their ill-gotten gains on SOMETHING, and how else are they going to attack you for being poor?

I mean, if you’re dying that often you could probably use some practise runs without using them.

Would make a lot more sense imo

No, you don’t have to pot twice every pull.

This is why my main raider is a herbalist/alchemist

And just think some dude in mythic+ Is getting better trinkets and weapons for spam-able chances in under 15 minutes per run. While you wipe on the same boss over and over. Only to have nothing drop or items not as good as what you got. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Bloomsday, Thank you. I don’t pre-pot already, and refuse to. I only pot late in the fight when we are all up and I feel ‘this is it’, but if anyone asks me ‘why didn’t you pre-pot’ on a failed attempt…I will tell them ‘because Bloomsday said so…’

If your in a guild there is no problem with cost of pots and flasks but that’s on them .

I don’t start potting until the fight feels more figured out or you’re trying to get past a phase to see progression.

Also I realize time = money but this is why herbalism/alchemy is such a powerful wombo combo to maintain so when you have some downtime and want to mindlessly farm you can get your own consumables “for free”

1> Marrowroot is literally less than half that on my server.
1a> If it’s THAT high… my dude… get to farming! Stop complaining about it and make a Hunter with herb/mining. You won’t even believe how much money you’ll make.

2> 40 attempts on a boss in a night is A LOT. Either you’re exaggerating (stop), or your team is at a point where double-pot is a complete waste of time. In fact, even SINGLE pots are a waste of time. It’s obvious you don’t know mechanics. Pots don’t matter if you don’t know mechanics.

3> MOST IMPORTANTLY … see #1. :wink:

Did you forget to start this thread back when you could actually pre-pot? Or did you forget that combat/utility potions are on a 5 min cooldown regardless of when you use one now?

You’ve overestimated by a factor of 2 or 3. I’m not going to paw over all your logs, but the jailer attempts I see you did yesterday was only 25 wipes and none lasted long enough for a second pot. I’m not saying it isn’t expensive, but it isn’t this bad.

Nice attempt at your snark… but it’s a fact that MOST fights now run longer than 6mins. And if you lust on pull or near the end, it ALMOST CERTAIN you could be using 2 pots.

Conveniently that’s roughly the price of a token.

Gosh that’s strange.

Stop wiping then, easy

You figured it out, they set wow tokens to that price solely because of OPs AH prices

The price of Tokens is dynamic. Nice try, Tucker.

Make your own potions. Do your own gathering. Problem solved.

raiding is stupidly expensive… it always has been :woman_shrugging:

I’d rather rip my spleen out with a spork than spend my time herbing :rofl:
