World of Warcraft!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Anyway, do you guys have a strat set up for Razorgore? I'd be more than happy to share mine, though it'd need a change or two since you get Eartbind and War Stomp.

Edit: Did you down Rag yet?
Yea we downed Rag.

Our current Razorgore strat revolves around Earthbind and hunters with 5/5 in Entrapment. Seeing 30 legionnaires trapped in place constantly is hilarious.

Yeah, that's basically what we do, except since we don't have earthbind, we use warriors with piercing howl and runspeed on their boots. We don't use entrapment, we have warriors kite around all the legionaires and DPS teams in each corner kill the mages- a combination of legionaires and mages will never be above 14 NPCs, and it's a random spawn. So, as our MCer [Paladin] is running Razorgore around popping the eggs, we kill mages until it's all legionaires. We have druids/Razorgore sleep the dragonkin and hunters kite around ones that aren't slept. Druids/paladins are the main healers in this fight, priests can toss out a couple rank 3 or 4 flash heals when fade is up, then fade ASAP, they need to live to the next stage. When **** gets out of control, is when everybody with fears starts to fear in rotation- a warrior will drop is intimidating shout, go thru caster fear rotation, another warrior, etc.

Our DPS groups in each corner have a rogue and mage, maybe a warrior if we have them to spare. Rogue is set up as the MT on CTRA and everybody assists on him.

Then, when there's one or two eggs left, we pass off mind controlling to our main tank, who's been aggro free through stage one- he's been following razorgore around targeting loose dragonkin so the MCer can /assist him and then use razor to sleep. We do this because after the last egg, Razorgore has aggro on the person who MC'd at that point. At 1-2 eggs, when our fears just can't keep up, we use Razorgore's AoE to get all the mobs on him and off everybody else. Then, the tank and off tank [both need to be decently geared and wear a couple hundred FR] take Razorgore to the corner to the left of the MC platform, faced away from the casters, who are at max range. This is a ranged DPS fight, so rogues get to run around and bandage healers/casters, since the tanks need a lot of healing and lots of healers are probably dead by stage two.

For stage two healing, we designate two priests to only heal the conflagged warrior while everybody else focuses on the MT.. as usual, CTRA mana conserve is necessary. Make sure your priests put rank 7 flash heal back on their bars, btw ;)

If you get the transition to stage two, the fight is easy as hell. We've done it with as little as 24 people up.

Oh, a note: soulstone priests who have a tendency to die.. some just, do in this fight. We haven't been able to pin down what some people do, but they just die all the time in stage one. Anyway, have them use their soulstone right after the final egg is popped, then toss down a major mana pot and keep going.

Uhm, that's about it. Good luck on Vael, Horde has easy mode on Razorgore but the Alliance has it for the rest of BWL, yay :) <3 Blessing of Salvation.

Yeah, I think lots of Gnomes opt for rams or tigers, if they're gonna be wasteful and get exalted with another faction.

Blizzcon vidoes Beyatches! Zinwrath is hillarious and sadly kinda accurate for life as a high ender. Return is VERY well done IMO (which is usually wrong according to Jessy)

I like the new add on pack that features Everquest style level capping.

next month u can reach 70, then 80, then 90 etc... all down hill from there.

you see if you dont use a level based system and instead a skill based one this is never a problem and thus 99% of your game world doesnt become redundent.

haha!

Seriously tho - I know ppl enjoy, it just winds alot of ppl, WoW has reached so many ppl, its a shame they cant step back and take the game in a better direction.

One of the main things that killed EQ was the same lvl system, they kept raising the level cap, in the end it became daft, and ppl stoped playing.

For example, as soon as u are 2 levels above a given lvl, u dont visit the region any more because u can kill everything, or items have no value.
what your left with is killing super high level monsters.
In a skill system this never happens as you are only as good as your individual skills. its more complex sure, but it give the game greater variety.

I guess on the other hand WoW has brought in a few million players that in time will most likely work these things out. roll on 'Advanced WoW' i guess...

I understand what youre saying. Thats how Guild Wars is structured. My favorite thing about the game is the social interaction. Plus being able to make 6 characters on every single server isnt a bad deal. Its fun to level up a horde character whilst waiting on rest state for your alliance character.. and then kick the crap outta the little guys in your guild who you just showed how to get to Durotar :twisted:

"Here ya go, the Orc capital is north of here. Just walk around enjoy yourself. Hollar if you need help from anyone. I have to go for a bit bbl"

*sign on hordie.. go to Orgrimaar*


"DIE ALLIANCE SCUM!"


*sign back on alliance character*

"OMG WHAT HAPPENED?"

Im a bastard sometimes. But its entertaining :)

Compy, got anywhere in BWL?

We dropped Chromaggus the other night, tried Nef a couple of times, but it was kinda just chickens with our heads cut off.

Can't wait to kill him! :)
