1) Unless you are a mage, priest or warrior good luck. 2) The time it takes to run either of these instances in 5 man precludes being a casual player.
Odd, I've been running 5 man UD Strat runs with my Hunter in the past year. Could be my uber skilz, but who knows. >_<
From my own experience, you can 5 man UD Strat in about 2 hours. If that precludes being a casual player, I posit mmo's isn't their gig. Having said that, who knows what will occur after these instances have been adjusted.
Originally posted by Celestian The drop changes are great, forcing people to 5 man a instance that was has been "raided" as 10 man for over a year now is beyond stupid. It just proves the lack of support from Blizzard to really give casuals what they wanted. They think just recycling the same old dungeon and slapping a "casual friendly sticker" on it will solve their problems.
As I've stated previously, I see this as a 'quick fix' type of solution, and a good one imo.
Originally posted by Celestian 5 man dungeons being easier to get pickups, thats funny. Try being a hunter or rogue and saying that.
Actually, I see this as helping hunters and rogue. Both classes have needed cc abilities used in smaller groups. Especially hunters, as they can provide an emergency off-tank with their pets.
My ideal 5 man group: Priest (Me), Mage, Warrior, Rogue, Paladin
If people are having trouble finding a spot as a Rogue, maybe it's because it is far and away the most overpopulated profession on any server.
I think you misunderstood my comment......I know its a 20 man. My point was that we like to do ZG on the weekend.....but ppl will be wanting to 5man as that is the main time ppl have to do instances, that way they cna get there gear. Also ZG armor will still be better than epic set armor? I havent really seen much to read about this, maybe soemone can drop some info.
umm if you are talking about the .5 sets only one piece is epic the rest are superioir blues...and ZG is full of epics as well and the blues are better then the ones in the tier 0 instances, this will stay the same. also the epics from the tier 0's are not that very good when compared to the stuff you can get from other places(this goes from weapon speed to procs/stats).
EDIT: pretty sad that i didnt notcie i put 1.5 instead of .5 a week after the fact....
im not over powered! look it took me 10 minutes to kill that guy
--------Signature--------- starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky --- one sky, one destiny.
