This Wednesday We Encounter The Biggest Boss Ever In The Largest Raid We Will Ever Be In!

Posted: 21 Nov 2017 01:45 AM PST

To prepare for this boss we need: (This should occur on Tuesday):

-Millions of stacks of [Call Your Local Governor].

-Millions of stacks of [Tell Your Governor We Want To Keep Net Neutrality]

Overview:

Boss: [Net Neutrality] & [Local Governor]

Location: Everywhere

[Net Neutrality] & [Local Governor] share a health pool and [Net Neutrality] cannot directly be damaged by players.

[Local Governor] alternates between three main phases, [Lies], [Manipulation], & [Deflection].

The fight starts with a [Call To Governor]. Upon reaching 20 stacks of [Lies] the [Governor] will use [Deflection]. During this phase it is important for players to stay on track. The best way to counter [Deflection] is to use the ability [Stay on Topic].

When [Governor] hits the third phase which is [Manipulation] it will also cause a different form of [Deflection] by causing one, or all of the next 4 phases:

  1. [Hang up]

  2. [Transfer]

  3. [Hold]

  4. [Busy Signal]

[Hang Up]:

Players must use the ability [Call Again] until you get the [Satisfied] buff.

[Transfer]:

Players must use the ability [Call Again] until you are able to get a tag on him.

[Hold]:

You can wait, but the [Lost Patience] debuff could happen which causes the boss to reset. Instead use [Call Again] until you are able to tag him.

[Busy Signal]:

Use the same tactics from the previous phases.

Final Phase:

[Governor] listens, learns, and promises to do what he/she can

Completion:

You have defeated the Boss and now receive the [Done What I could] Achievement that rewards the [I'm Not A Sheeple] Title.

Not until the next section of the raid opens, which is TBD, will we know if our efforts will have made a difference, but if we don't try, then we've already failed.

Lore behind [Net Neutrality]:

The basic principle of Net Neutrality is that access to all websites and web services should be equal and that anyone can start their own website/service and make it accessible to anyone with internet access, just like any other website/service.

Without Net Neutrality, your Internet Service Provider (e.g. BT) could arbitrarily block whatever websites it didn't want you to access (e.g. perhaps blocking you from accessing competitors' websites). It could also mean your service provider purposefully degrades access to certain websites or services and/or forces you to pay extra to access certain websites or services (imagine paying an extra $5 a month to your service provider just because you want to access reddit).

In the UK, this is not as big of a problem because there is (for the most part) much more competition because the BT network is opened up through a wholeale program which allows third-party providers to access the network and provide their own differentiated/custom internet services (to some extent).

In the US, however, there isn't really competition like this. Many homes have only one broadband internet service provider to choose from (e.g. their local telephone company) and some people are lucky enough to have two providers (e.g. telephone and cable company) or in very rare cases three providers (e.g. telephone, cable and independent fiber/fibre company). Basically though, there is hardly any competition which means that if one service provider starts violating the principles of Net Neutrality, many customers are completely powerless (since they have such a limited or perhaps no alternative selection for ISPs).

Picture example:

Say verizon gives you an "Internet Data Plan" of ten gigs per month. Now, you need to download GTA V because you uninstalled it. How the hell are you going to fit a 65 gig game into your 10 gig "Internet Data Plan".

Secondly, say ArenaNet paid Verizon more than Blizzard did. If Blizzard connects their WoW servers with Verizon, they aren't gonna be able to connect to the internet. And if you use Verizon, you aren't gonna get any WoW data in.

Third, let's assume that the above situation happened, and Blizzard's servers have now blocked access to the internet by Verizon. Blizzard can either switch, which will be very expensive, or pay up, which could be more or less expensive. One thing that they could do is to jack up the prices of the subscription to allow them to pay for the cost of running their servers.

Finally, reason 3 could occur even without a reason 2. If Verizon felt like it, they could start to jack up the prices by a lot, and you would have to pay. What are you gonna do? You can't switch to Comcast because they are doing the same exact thing! The only solution at that point is to just unplug your router and start rubbing stones together.

Hotfixes: November 21 - WoW Tier 21 changes

Posted: 21 Nov 2017 02:18 PM PST

New 110's, need help? Come here!

Posted: 21 Nov 2017 07:54 AM PST

With Argus being released, it's a brand new zone to explore. You can go straight there if you want, you can't fly there. This is the fastest way to gear for a fresh 110. You'll get the quest line from Dalaran.

Do the quest line and the world quests there.

For gearing there are priorities and things to do each week/daily:

  1. Mythic+ : Try to do the highest difficulty up to +10 to get a piece of loot that you get weekly from the chest in your order hall.

Mythic+ Info

  1. Argus/Veiled Argunite: VA is a currency/source from Argus that you earn in multiple ways. You'll get a lot from doing the story once you hit Argus, but there's plenty of other ways to get it. You then spend the VA on slot specific gear/relics from a vendor on the Vindicaar.

Veiled Argunite Farming

  1. Greater Invasion Point : A weekly spawn portal that appears once per week on Argus. Drops 935 loot.

  2. Raiding: Try to get into a Normal/Heroic Tomb of Sargeras if you can, look for the groups who are doing alt runs or for AP Farm/Legendaries. Also do all the instances in Raid Finder. Try to learn the fights so you stay alive and maximize dps so later on you can join groups that you fully contribute to instead of getting carried.

Tomb of Sargeras Raid Guide

  1. Legendaries: Legendaries are unique equipped, and you can only equip one at a time until you research more into your class hall upgrades in your order hall. You'll accumulate some naturally by doing the other content.

Guide to Legendaries

  1. BoE's/Cradted gear: If you have a little bit of gold, you can purchase gear from the Auction House. The gear you buy can also be upgraded 10 times with Primal Obliterite. You can also buy Legendaries, but I wouldn't recommend it.

http://www.wowhead.com/guide=5282/legion-crafted-gear-basics-with-stat-priorities-per-class-spec-for-new-players-

  1. World Quests/Emassaries: Check your map on the bottom left to see which Broken Isles/Argus zone/faction needs help. You'll do 4 world quests there to complete the quests to get a cache that can reward gear.

World Quest guide

  1. Assaults: Check the map for Assaults that spawn randomly for each Broken Isle zone. Simply zone into that zone to get the quest to start it.

Assaults guide

Other mentions: One World Boss spawns once a week for each zone, (Broken Isles, Broken Shore, Argus (Greater Invasion Point).

Order Hall Missions: Keep checking your order hall missions for ones that give a quest for Tomb of Sargeras. Try to do a Normal/Heroic Clear first.

Seals of Unbroken Fate: Be sure to pick these up in Dalaran to re-roll on bosses you really need loot on. I would recommend saving them for Antorus coming out on the 28th though.

Weekly quests: Right by the guy in Dalaran who sells Seals is another NPC who gives a quest for that week which rewards Tomb of Sargeras gear. This week will be the dungeon one so be sure to pick it up.

Normal Mythics: You can do each Mythic difficulty dungeon once per week that can drop Legendaries and 885 gear.

Netherlight Crucible: This is on Argus, it boosts your relics inside your Artifact Weapon and also boosts your item level.

Netherlight Crucible Guide

I recommend watching Bellular's videos, he's pretty good at explaining stuff as well.

[NSFW] Pinup commission of my DH (Artist info in comments)

So shadow priests really going to go for 2 years without any viable AOE?

Posted: 21 Nov 2017 08:48 AM PST

I don't understand how this could go for 2 years straight, I simply didn't understand how it could leave the beta after we gave it ~150 page feedback. Before they removed 3 chest runs we were garbage tier and now running any mythics lower than 13 is a total nightmare - you feel absolutely useless on both bosses and trash. In a world where the game is homogenised so much I don't understand how a dps spec can still have no AOE.

In something like mythic 5 its better to spec holy and spam holy nova than shadow. I'd expect stuff like that from vanilla but in 2018, how is this acceptable?

I'm sorry but compare that with fire mage, where you spread your living bombs, call a meteor, instant double flamestrike procs, instant dragon's breath, dot from ignite. Holy **** how can there be such a huge difference?

EDIT: Mind sear and shadow crash are a meme.
