Destruction Silver Proving Grounds ... ALMOST?!

-
Trying my hand at video recording, I captured my latest run at doing the proving grounds. I am now regularly reaching fight 8:8. The 'ah-ha' moment was realizing that the Felhound and/or Observer have an interrupt.

Here is my 200dpi (yeah, it stinks badly) video of my last run, with notes for those who are still working at it. I'll record it again tonight (actually sort of excited about this) and hopefully work out all the bugs for that last fight.. As Grumpy Elf said, it's all about placement..

    Very nice placement, you are getting there.

    Here is some advice for round 8, being I have not done it on a lock, take it with a grain of salt.

    Place your personal transport behind the amber guy at 3 o'clock.
    You will stand in front of the healer, as you already are while working on it.
    As soon as both ambers cast, teleport.
    The one at 3 o'clock will turn back toward you but as you are behind him, it will hit him, the other one will hit the middle guy. No running.
    Finish the healer then the amber closest to you. The one across the room will keep hitting the middle guy.
    If the one close to you begins to cast another, step through him. He will not change direction while in mid cast, so it will go back onto himself again.
    Throw havoc on outside guy, kill middle guy, finish off outside guy.

    Hope that helps.

    Very good job working out where to stand. Like I said, there really is not as much movement as people try to make it out to seem. Just be in the right place and it is much easier.

    You will get it this weekend I am sure.

      Here's my current working plan:
      Portal at 12o'clock.

      1. Havoc one amber weaver.
      2. Fear Mystic (10 seconds of reprieve)
      3. Start DPS of opposite amber weaver
      4. When globules start coming towards me, portal to back, pulling both globules toward healer.
      5. Finish amber weaver 1, and soon after #2.
      6. Swap havoc to slayer.
      7. Focus fire on mystic, interrupting when it comes up.
      8. Finish off slayer.

      So far, I get to step 6 and run out of time. Mostly because I am still running away from the globules. Last run the portal was at 3, behind the weaver and the glob went right between the healer and slayer. (go figure) missing both and making me run until it timed out.

      Ok, I tried my placement and I see what you mean. By standing at 6 o'clock the 9oclock amber glob flows around the healer into my lap. I need to standing on the healer, center of clock. That way (as you said), the glob will flow right >> into the healer (center) and back onto the 3o'clock weaver.

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 developm

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
