The new "mythic" (that isnt out yet) corresponds to the old "heroic". <br /><br />This probably puts your numbers a bit off.<br /><br />Unfortunately mythic wont be available on premade group finder (allthough you could probably custom it if you want), so its gonna be hard to compare your strategy with the mythic raid teams<br />Shandrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09243368468608048536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-59928414498736170322014-12-09T00:25:57.726+01:002014-12-09T00:25:57.726+01:00So you are saying I should in fact not join the gr...So you are saying I should in fact <i>not</i> join the group that advertises itself as: Pro raiders ony BIATCHHHHHHH, we are awesomesauce"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-10496344426702348702014-12-08T17:30:52.819+01:002014-12-08T17:30:52.819+01:00"Social guilds get to nowhere because they re..."Social guilds get to nowhere because they refuse to kick half of the raid, despite they are nothing but dead weight."<br /><br />And in my experience, if you even bother to point this out then you'll get turned on. It sounds absurd that such bad performances get blamed on "bad luck" or "lack of gear" but it really does happen, and these people get furious if you point the truth out.<br /><br />Back in the days of ICC, there were 'raiders' in my guild that were ToC geared and pulling 2K DPS. About 1/5th of the DPS they should have been doing for that gear level, and less DPS than a HC dungeon geared player should have been doing in Nax (~2.5-3K DPS). They also blamed their awful DPS due to a lack of gear.<br /><br />And yet another excuse was not having the free time to play well. I took months out due to PC hardware failure, and even when I raided I was only playing something like 5-6 hours a week. The people who sucked? Something like 3-5 hours daily.<br /><br />One of my friends these days forms raids using RealID / Battletag friends. Since he only adds people who are competent, raids tend to have a high success rate.Ulskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-58340251114715964582014-12-08T13:40:31.123+01:002014-12-08T13:40:31.123+01:00I would imagine having a raid mod installed that c...I would imagine having a raid mod installed that can do some work for the raid leader will become a requirement for randoms in the proper end game.<br /><br />I was in a very large guild once that was almost like random grouping and being kicked for not having xyz raid mod was the commonest thing.Fidtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00292384115008126738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-53044457149158281822014-12-08T09:58:59.353+01:002014-12-08T09:58:59.353+01:00What people do in challenge mode groups is ask peo...What people do in challenge mode groups is ask people to whisper then a "Challenge Warlord" achievement and any specific CM achievements they have before invite.<br /><br />Whispering a leader of the group you have signed up to requires right-clicking the group and selecting "whisper to leader", which is less than intuitive and in itself serves to root out complete noobs. Then you can judge if the person in front of you is competent by what CMs he did.<br /><br />In raids, this will require more logistics, as there are 30 spots to fill, but is certainly possible.maximhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12576542229498004147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-40181792132492485282014-12-08T08:49:59.293+01:002014-12-08T08:49:59.293+01:001/7 Heroic is far easier than 6/7 normal.

The first boss is a pushover while the last 2 bosses have mechanics that can easily wipe even good groups (assuming you're doing it at the gear levels it's tuned for).<br /><br />And since you don't need to clear normal to enter heroic, it isn't exactly a good metric (although you have to use <b>somehting</b>, I guess...)Tithianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567723372347346654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-65513305144007872672014-12-08T07:58:22.582+01:002014-12-08T07:58:22.582+01:00If you want to quickly join those top 2% go straig...If you want to quickly join those top 2% go straight for 1/7hc.
