Mogu'shan Vaults LFR - Part 1, Pass 1

-
Well, ran my first LFR last night, Mogu'shan Vaults (part 1). I was really surprised on how easy it was. I queued up, thinking I'd have 10 minutes to spare and started searching for videos to prep me for the fights and spotted this one by Big Nash. "LFR has become Patchwerk 2.0". 2 minutes into the video and I am convinced that there's nothing to worry about and, really, there wasn't.



I dropped in right after they finished the first boss. Running along, I catch up as they are running up to the second boss. AOE trash, fight boss. Playing a warlock, I just stood back in the rafters and maintained my DOTs and shot off Shadow Bolts. If I felt ambitious, I ran to a nullification field (looks like blue Disc Priest barrier) that the tank dropped as part of fight the mechanic.

Last boss, of the raid is a troll fight. Interesting mechanic involved  troll totems that popped up around the boss. They look just like the troll mask pets that you can get from the old Argent Tourney zone in Wrath. I kept waiting for it to attack me, but didn't. Watching the Bryna and Evali (embedded above) video, I realized I missed an entire mechanic by never clicking on them. No shadow realm monsters to fight. Guess I missed out on some nice DPS boost.

In iLevel 462 gear, I never died, but didn't see any drops of worthwhile beyond a quest item for the Wrathion legendary quest chain.. So, how do I get into the next one?

    Af far as how the LFR fights go, there are some pretty good, concise tips on wowhead - http://www.wowhead.com/npc=60047#comments
    for example. You won't be able to queue for the second half of the raid until you have beaten all three of the bosses. There is no lockout, so you can requeue for the raid immediately. Because you have already beaten the last two bosses, the queue system should prioritize your next LFR run to start at the first boss.

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
