End game PVE raiding: HOW DO YOU BREAK THE MONOTONY!?!?!?!

Troll more please.



I've done 80, it's terrible. Go spam your rotation on a tank and spank boss while rotating in one direction every 90 seconds. Or go grind for gear to do a boss that requires 9001 DPS and nothing else.

thats just the way pve is



sorry =/



my gear is pretty good so i can kill mobs by myself pretty much. i just dps whatever without paying attention
 
pretty much every boss is tank and spank, but there are some different ones out there or at least ones that have tank and spank aspects with other phases/stuff. i dont find raiding boring, its filled the void that twinking has left.
 
oh and during raids i usually sing oldies out loud if im seriously bored :cool:

Try healing, most fun out of all of them. No rotations, and every healer is either emo or a stoner or somewhere in between, guaranteeing that you will have fun with the others =P

Finally getting in the swing of heroics and dailies; almost have enough emblems for the leather chest piece and the gun.



That being said, I don't know how much longer I can take it. Blood DK DPS boils down to:



IT>PS>Pestilence>HS>HS>DC>Obliterate/dump



lather, rinse, repeat.



In the middle of boss fights, my mind will go numb and start to wander, and my DPS will drop from 1800~2000 to like, 1000.



How do levelers and raiders handle this? I'm bored out of my mind half the time.



Start getting a tank set together, you'll find it to be a lot more fun.

Also, Raiding is really fun IMO. I tank Trial of the Crusader 10m/25m (R) on my Death Knight, look forward to it every week. Heroics are just like lol

Onyxia can be fun, if you don't get a terribad group

Vault of Archavon is almost like a chore, been trying to get my stuff to drop forever.

If you're looking for emblems outside heroics, try Obsidian Sanctum, it's not the best but more fun than heroics for sure. You get 4 emblems and if you win the roll, a bag that gives you an extra 5.
 
i do 10 man 3d sarth zerg every tuesday for fun, that's a good way to break the monotony plus the added chance of getting your drake mount or some UG gear.
 
mmhmm, end game is fun, its just theres 1week cd for all the raids lol >.< it also starts to feel less important since we can just grind all of the triumphs from heroics in ~3weeks(?) for patch release.
 
raiding guilds help on that one, schedules keep you to a strict you raid this tonight so you dont fuck up and get bored 4 nights in a row.

in one week i can easily pug 10/25 toc normal, 10/25 voa, and os. i try to find pug 10/25 ulduar but those are somewhat rare since for the most part people are either undergeared or dont care to go back and mess around in there. if i really wanna grind conquest (which i dont) i can do 10/25 naxx too. and i try to do the h daily every day im on too.

when 3.3 drops i wont really care about triumph that much anyways since the ilvl 232 gear doesnt really impress me and you'll still need a trophy for the ilvl 245 gear and tokens for ilvl 258. my gear is near BiS until i get lucky on trophy rolls (which sucks rolling against 24 people with my dice)





@zuty no double posts for me XD

i lost the 1st too times i did it, and her trinket didnt drop either but oh well i was happy to get my title the 1st time and its just fun mainly, its such a short run. i wanna do 25 runs but its a lot harder to get 25 people who are smart and have the required dps, maybe in the next week or two i will.



i have the CoS drake & others but i barely ride them b/c im a druid and epic flying is the tits. herbing in air, falling and mounting, doing the typhoon/parachute kills, etc...nothing trumps epic flight form until you get a 310% mount, and even if i ever get one idk if i'd use it that much outside strictly point A to B stuff.
 
~twitches~



So is IAT a troll or just clueless about endgame? Or does End Game mean something weird round here? A bit of all 3 perhaps? Anyway..



"we can just grind all of the triumphs from heroics in ~3weeks(?)"

- You get 2 per day from daily heroic; personally I think I counted I needed about 170 to get every thing I wanted (but then I am building multiple gear sets)



"blah VoA blah"

- Not End Game



"get s'more gear then do 10/25 naxx, 10/25 os, and 10/25 voa. easy badges along with heroics"

- Not End Game



"Once you hit the ~3k mark it will be a little more interesting because that's when you can start to progress and do achievement runs."

- Try 5k+ for End Game achievements



"Go spam your rotation on a tank and spank boss while rotating in one direction every 90 seconds. Or go grind for gear to do a boss that requires 9001 DPS and nothing else"

- Erm.. Last tank and spank was Patchwerk.. the one before that was.. I dunno.. VR if using the cheese-it strat? Not sure.. they don't seem to be as frequent as in Vanilla. Regardless; Not End Game.



To answer the original question in a serious non-flame way.. The way I break the monotony is by doing fights that will wipe you if your mind wanders that much. Sarth3D in the pre-ulduar days and, to a lesser degree, totc25 heroic.



tbh Blizz has removed a lot of the monotony from end game raiding with the introduction of limited attempts. You get at most maybe 12 hours worth of attempts per week (50) at "End Game" and once it's on farm it's cleared in under an hour.



So is it round here "End Game" means anything you do at level 80? If so.. why is that considered less interesting than bg's at level 19?

that would be how i see it. where does it say endgame is ONLY the highest raid progression (togc 25)



if you just hit 80 then your endgame is currently heroics until you can get into naxx/buy the conquest gear and get into ulduar +.....every one has to start somewhere ffs.



as for patchwerk being the last tank and spank, um well he may be truly tank and spank but most bosses are T&S with some random variations tossed in to not making it mind meltingly boring (ignis, razor, xt, thorim, hodir, etc, etc, etc and thats only ulduar examples....tons more from naxx & toc - beasts? twins? anub is tank and spank and only interesting thing is phases ffs)



ALSO what you edited about the triumph you took out of context, he said when 3.3 drops you can get all the triumphs which is true. they will release emblems of frost for ICC and triumphs will then drop from everything else so running heroics and old raids nets triumph, ICC and the new h daily&stuff is triumph
 
end-game is all about 80 here. not just the latest raid.



to answer your next question, this is a twink site and many thinks that twinks are only end of BG brackets without including the level cap to twinking. you're never gonna hear about a 80 rogue twinked to death, it only means he is gonna change his gears every seasons.



here most people seem to think that twinks are never-changing characters. while that is not true, they also seem to think twinks cannot happen at 80 because of the never ending wheel. at least thats from what i understood from here since i joined.



back to 80, i love how blizz forced us to play like we used to in TBC. now you actually gotta follow the path until you dot he latest raids. they seem to be keeping us 2 raids back. the path from 80 to twinked 80 seems a hell of a road to begin with...



1 - you get into heroics to gain gears and emblems

2 - once at 3k you enter ulduar prerably heroics.

3 - once you finished ulduar you can enter TOTGC regular.

4 - once you got all gear from regular you do it heroic.



just that should already take you a hell of a lot of time to get what you need.

i think the emblem are good because they actually help those who cannot do much raiding, actually get their gears up to par and it also gives any new 80 a way to be geared so guilds can approve of them.



one question i'll be asking...

naxx heroic is placed where in those 4 points ?

is it even worth it, besides the triumph emblem it gives ?
