Already Honored with Sunreaver Onslaught?!

-
4 days of dailies for the Sunreaver Onslaught and I've gone from neutral to honored. Nice. Of course it doesn't hurt that there are anywhere from 12 - 19 daily quests to complete. At honored, I was able to pickup this new belt for 300g. It was a decent upgrade from what I had before.

I completed the first of the raid's last night in the Heart of Fear LFR. From the Blade Lord Ta'yak fight, I won a new pair of bracers. As a note, don't use an Elder charm when you have already won the bracers. I simply got 2 sets of bracers. FYI, I hate this boss fight. Without a run-speed bonus, I was not able to finish this fight. I simply could not get out of the way of the tornadoes to avoid all of them. Maybe a potion? I ended up dying at the end of the hall where the boss first 'blew' us. I like this strat, if I could have only reached him the first time...
An easy strategy for 2nd phase is this: When you first reach him, keep applying DoTs. When Boss HP is around 11% (this number depends on your raid DoT power) just jump into the winds on the sides and keep running to the other end. While you are travelling, the DoT should be enough to push him to the 10%. If you timed it good the boss will appear on that end when you arrive. (source)
I wonder if my warlock gateway would have worked? I know all the locks setup their gateway across the poisoned floor for Imperial Vizier Zor'lok's fight. 3 warlocks, 3 gateways across the floor 2/3rd the raid got a free flight across.

Garalon was long, but easy as a ranged. I had no issues with not standing in his hit box. In fact, I was inspired being one of the last 8-10 standing at the end of the run. Since I started the raid at this boss, I had to run again to kill off the first 2 bosses. This time wasn't so lucky. One player insisted on stabby stabby on the belly and causing the Garalon to crush all of us. Bad warrior. Start running back in for the 3rd attempt and he's already engaged. I decided to drop group. LFR can find another DPS to kill him off.

    Lock gateways work great! You can set it up so that it drops you right on the platform at the end of the hallway for the 20% phase, and then use the slipstream to help get into position for the 10% phase.

    Unless you were looking to use a coin for a bonus roll, there's no need to kill Garalon a second time in one raid lockout period. Once you've killed all the bosses, no matter the order, it's best to move on to the next raid unless you really want a specific piece of gear from a boss. I usually save my coin rolls for bosses in Terrace that drop the Sha-touched weapons or bosses that drop tier gear.

      Yeah, I hadn't realized that I was actually rolling on the same piece of gear. I thought 'maybe' another item would drop off the boss. Ah well.

      As for Garalon, I was more wanting to see the fight again. My first run-through was a one-shot. Second time, not so much.

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...
