WOW Beta: Warlords of Draenor

[GreenLantern]

Raekwon what has been your Garrison strat? Is it just push the quests as fast as you can, gear out 2-3 guys with the highest ilevel you can and keep going?

I find that I still have yet to really gain anything from the missions, and it is a huge drain on my garrison resources. At first I found the leveling part fun, but now all my guys are 100 at least blue but lots are purple, except one I kept sub 100 on purpose.

[Raekwon]

I have just been going down the list trying to get them geared to 650, I have failed on all useful item missions though. Most recently a 655 item

Darven Bunker + Salvage Yard will give you all the upgrades you need.

Sorry but have to call BS on that, our top guilds on our server took 2-3 nights on KZ at the start, maybe a month or two later 1 4hr night was enough for the best of our guilds, 2 nights average, 4-8hrs.

2-3hrs we are talking 3 - 6 months later, if my memory serves me right.

You mean Warmill, you dirty alliance scum.

Yes I recently added both of those to the Garrison and it does make a huge difference. I've been trying to level up 3 guys ilevel with separate abilities but its slow going for sure.

Can anyone tell me which if their followers can counter Magic Debuff? For some reason I have yet to get a single follower that can.

Also, is there an expiration on work orders? So if I have completed work orders, can I leave them there infinitely and keep making new ones on top of those, or will the current ones expire?

It seems if I open my Glad Sanctum and don't take the Conquest Points because I am already capped, they will dissappear the next time I open it.

load an addon called Master Plan.

It will help you with mission expiry. Also lets you sort by %chance complete, debuffs, etc.

What, you mean everyone doesn't roll with the top 1% of WoW players?

Does not compute. Our guild was server 1st on Gruul's lair, but couldn't clear Kara until we were geared from Gruul.

TBC raiding was nutso hard until you got gear. Kara trash took forever to clear and if you didn't do it slowly it was a wipefest.

Which one?

Probably some sort of pig soup? Their food has never looked overly appealing, especially their soups, so I am not sure why you'd want to feel like one.

That one I got early on in my questing.

That one I got after I hit 100 (questing in spires of arakk) he's a lvl 97 follower. The first link is a lvl 90

I've got a couple who can, but it's pretty random. One thing I noted is that if you draw badly through questing, you can be pretty much boned. When I was questing, just about all my Ally Followers Rare or Epic upgraded...and almost none of my Horde ones did, and on top of that, almost all my Horde Followers drew the "danger zone" ability. My Horde garrison suffers now because it's pretty hard to get even a decent mix for any mission.

I make really good use of the Inn recruiting feature. Once a week, you can pick a follower with an ability of your desire. They start green at 90, but you can fix that fast enough.

[GreenLantern]

Yea right now it looks like I either do the entire Spires quest chain or I drop one of my buildings for an Inn to recruit someone.. and then level, epic level, item level.. ugh.

My first two decent ilevel quests have that debuff on them, lol. What are the odds!

Pretty good. It's common.

I'd assumed we were talking about clearing it ... not initial attempts

[steveo]

just got this BOE epic ring today from a salvage crate.

now to find someone to buy it off of me.

[nik-]

decided to level my hunter instead of my priest ... hunter is still pretty ridiculous even after the nerfs. Getting ridiculous loot luck too.

I think this chance on quest reward or drop to upgrade to either rare or epic is a really cool idea.

[Thor]

Yeah Hunter is great man, you will be very happy with that decision. I love the idea of lone wolf, I always kind of disliked having a pet in raids or instances because it just felt pointless.

That 30% dmg buff from it is insanity!

[GreenLantern]

Got my hunter to 99.8, lol. They are a lot of fun to play. Today I will see how I fare in PvP on him.
