Sorry forgot to add the link.

World of Warcraft: The First Adventurers - Lore / World’s End Tavern: Role-play and Fan Fiction - World of Warcraft Forums

It’s a fan fiction I’ve been working on for a while. My plan is to post a new chapter every four or five days as I finish editing them so I don’t jam up the forum. I hope people enjoy it and if anyone wants to leave feedback please do.

When you learned that Gallywix died you got so upset that your immediate response was to say ā€œBlizzard has turned a fan into a victimā€ and said you were going to quit the game, then later on you suicide baited in some attempt to get them to change it, just to calm down when you realized that nothing was going to prevent Blizzard from changing the direction they were already far along on.

Gallywix killed shows us Blizzard will always find a way to kill Horde aligned NPCs

Back to playing my hunter. So the weathered crest achiev I got on my druid? I also got it on my hunter. It was a bug at the time with 2h weapons not being recognized

Also realized I’m way better at BM than melee. Dr00d is fun for like RPing and stuff. Which is what I’ll probably use them for :wolf:

I have all but given up on melee.

I don’t know what happened. My first Max level in Vanilla was a Rogue. I Raided with a decent guild and was among the top DPSers in that guild, long ago. Which was what Rogues did.

But lately I’m just not doing it right, even by my own fairly low standards. Maybe it’s an age thing.

I was doing heroic bandit on my monk and kept getting hit by the coins. It’s hard to see through all the clutter. I felt like a noob.

Numbers wise, my Warlock and Hunter, at similar ilvl, just do more damage with a lot less effort, than my Rogue or DK. And I acknowledge it’s a ā€œmeā€ issue not an issue with the class.

I recently decided to just play my melee Alts a lot less.

I just been playing BM Hunter for so long that certain bad habits are hard to stop. I’ve become so accustomed to my pet being around and my BM rotation that I sometimes forget I can’t do the things on my druid that I can easily pull off on my BM :wolf:

Maybe next month I’ll race change my hunter to a worgen too :stuck_out_tongue:

I need high APM specs, which is probably why I like Fury so much. Put simply: ā€œI want to hit somethingā€ is my playstyle.

Blizzard tends to punish you for being in melee. Lately it feels like they expect only the tank to be that close, there’s also a lot of mechanics that force melee away or create zones that make movement difficult… which is much easier to manage if you are ranged.

The boss of HV is a perfect example of this. It feels like most if not all of the fight is her dropping anti-melee mechanics all over the place. Even including an ability that requires the breaking of LOS.

Just feels like if you don’t have tank level durability you are expected to fight at range or only pop in for moments before dropping back and getting healed up. Which just doesn’t always work. Enhancement Shaman are required to sustain constant pressure and momentum during the fight to generate their unique resource, needed both for their very survival and for their damage.

TL;DR yeah… feels bad to melee.

You tried Enhancement Shaman? there are good chunks of time, RNG being RNG, where you have almost too much you could be doing. The number of decisions you need to make can feel overwhelming but also make other ā€œcomplexā€ specs feel rather like taking a vacation. Really just feels more like a cascading decision tree in blitz mode then a true rotation. Sadly, lots of RNG built into the spec so some fights feel quick and smooth, and others feel like a slog because you just aren’t getting the same rate of procs.

Was anyone else satisfied when you got the chance to take down that smug Athanos(in charge of Humility Training being all supremely arrogant) at the end of the Kyrian Covenant Storyline?

The fact that the Paragon of Humility was not in charge of beating Humility in others leaving that job to a Centurion Construct shows his own Humility(explaining why Lysonia couldn’t extract any Pride from him) and the Construct’s Creator’s lack of Humility(not that we didn’t already know that considering Mikanikos’s consistent entitled outrage whenever his creations betray him their creator although he does have some Humility in that he knows when he has run out of ideas).

I’m hoping that when Blizzard announces 11.2 and it is indeed an Ethereal based patch, the Delve Nemesis will be the Supreme Archaeologist himself. It would be a huge missed opportunity if it isn’t. Imo, it would make their decision to keep Brann as your delve partner for all of TWW worth it.

Shocking that the Supreme Archaeologist hasn’t made an appearance at all in WoW.

The next chapter is up. It took a little longer to edit because I have some real-life projects to work on (cleaning and painting rooms that haven’t been painted for forty years).

World of Warcraft: The First Adventurers - Lore / World’s End Tavern: Role-play and Fan Fiction - World of Warcraft Forums

And Drahliana (sorry for responding to you here but the forum trust level wasn’t allowing me to in the other thread) I agree with all of your points. I just think that the story of the Night Elves and Forsaken joining their factions need more details that could be a good story. I think this will be fun and I hope other people agree.

I am now Denona the Triple Threat.

Finished the achievement to do all 8 seasonal dungeons in a +10 or higher, timed, as tank, dps and healer.

Healer I did on my priest alt cause warriors can’t heal.

Still annoyed that it wasn’t retroactive.

I am still alive!!! I have simply been very busy with DnD!!

And a friend came over and commented about the very large number of unpainted 3d printed minis I may or may not have stored in a coffee bucket thing, and I may or may not have taken offense to such a remark, and that may or may not have inspired me to throw paint on resin.

Allegedly.
