@Celestalon Is this the Class changing push? or is this not yet the right build?

@holinka @WarcraftDevs In 6.1, will you allow guild raid groups of 40 to queue into Ashran with the new changes?
3 days ago by @tempest3461
@tempest3461 Yes. If a member of your raid queues for Ashran, all other members of that raid will queue up for the same Ashran.

@WarcraftDevs Concerning: Class Xmog sets from Salvage. Why bother adding them to the game at all if some parts can't be xmogged? (Esp monk)
3 days ago by @load2326
@load2326 The items are invisible and we don’t allow transmog to invisible items at this time. We included them for completeness.

Comment by Badguy Does this also give your gearscore a 30% boost? Comment by Malent good that u killed him good that it was hard i dont wanna play a game get to the end and go that was too easy i like the challenge Comment by Malent i didnt say that it wasnt challenging read my original post there DB Cooper, i was commenting on the fact that they added a buff to help people thru i was commenting on the people who were saying it was too hard and my point was....IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE HARD THATS WHY ITS END GAME THATS WHY U GET UBER LEWTS FOR DOING IT ITS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE EASY! Comment by Braevia That's the thing though: it's not easy. And I doubt the average PUG raid is only 5% short of being able to down the Lich King, so you're all whining about nothing anyway.

Play more, cry less. Comment by KevJB I wonder if the 30 will hit just before cataclysm so everyone can say they downed the LK before 85 made it trivial. Comment by aaroc Frankly, anyone willing to play 7 days a week for 5+ months to build a set cannot really be considered "casual", and with the kind of gear/skill they'd have accrued they could/should be raiding anyway. It's nearly impossible for them to be playing that much and not know their class.

By the way, even if they managed to do the weekly raid every week it would take them over four months to get a 4-piece set bonus, and they'd be playing about as much (or more) WoW as your average "casual raider" (7 days a week worth of dailies, plus a weekly raid).It's nearly impossible for them to be playing that much and not know their class.Comment by Kerstetter My guild is clearing ICC 10-and-25 first, and then using this buff. I mean, we're on the Lich King in 10-man, so it'll be a week before we use this ... but when we clear it on our own merit, we'll use the buff just for farming the place faster. Especially when bringing in new guildies or alts. Comment by superworm Honestly, people say it sucks mostly not because of the buff itself (as you could always turn it off), but because it would allow more people to down LK and thus hinder their ability to show out. Comment by executorvgk well done blizzard! Comment by lemoicavalier Honestly, people say it sucks mostly not because of the buff itself (as you could always turn it off), but because it would allow more people to down LK and thus hinder their ability to show out.Comment by Xycolian Wow ICC will be sooo easy now.... people in blues will be killing the lich king with the 30% buff......... Comment by Adamsm Wow ICC will be sooo easy now.... people in blues will be killing the lich king with the 30% buff.........Comment by pezz So uh, you know the people who are actually already killing Arthas? And did before this buff? Yeah, they're the ones not posting in this thread. Because the people who actually are plowing through content the fastest and not just pretending to be for the sake of whining on the internet really don't care if pugs do what they do now three months from now, nor do they care if pugs have only a few of the pieces of gear months from now that they have now. Those are the people intelligent enough to realize it doesn't matter to them what pugs do right at the end of the expansion. Comment by biogoo My opinion is that the buff should "spread" through ICC the same way the wings were opened. Let it first affect just bosses up to Saurfang, two weeks later up to Professor, and so on. Anyone in the progress of Frostwing/LK now (which is only available for a while) would be able to try more before the buff takes effect. Right now it would be pretty stupid to turn it off for progress, thats like not using BoK.
and/or
Kingslayer only if the buff is off. Comment by Domilera every game has at least 3 difficulties you can pick:
Easy
Normal
Hard

many of them even have Extreme modes

what blizzard is doing is nothing more then adding this kind of things in game.

you want free shinies? get easy mode, turn buffs on and play normal bosses.
you wish to play without stress? go for normal modes without the buff
you wish to start proving your skills? leave the buffs up, but try some hard mode content
hardcore? speak to garrosh to shut him up, hard modes are that way ->

seriously, people complaining that the game is hard because there IS an easy mode is like people complaining dungeons are hard while still doing UK normal at level 80

you have the chance of CHOOSING what you're playing, i miss to see what's wrong with it (and to prove you've done a boss without buffs a screenshot in combat is fast and proves no buff up)

ps. QQ moar plz, i feed on your tears too Comment by SliderDF Let's look at raids for a sec. How many people do you know go into Serpentshrine Cavern, the Eye, or even Sunwell Plateau once WotLK came out?

*cue crickets*

Don't worry, I'll wait.

Seriously, letting more casual type players go deeper into Icecrown Citadel now is a good thing, because once Cataclysm hits the shelves, who's gonna want to go there anymore? Comment by Dobbel For the people whining about how faceroll LK will be, it only takes 1 noob to drop a defile in the middle of the raid and form a massive black hole in 2 seconds wiping your raid.

No buff will save you from that. Comment by olania Sooo close to quitting, I don't want to... but the game is being ruined.Comment by CaoimheX For the people whining about how faceroll LK will be, it only takes 1 noob to drop a defile in the middle of the raid and form a massive black hole in 2 seconds wiping your raid.

No buff will save you from that.Comment by Arathian whether i have done it or not is completely a moot point, regardless of me doing it or not doing it doesnt change the fact that new end game content is suppose to be challenging its the natural progression of the game comparable to blizz releasing Cataclysm and a month later going meh this is a lil too hard lets nerf it a bit its kinda pointless, but getting to the orignal question no i havent ran it yet i dont have enough people in my guild that are geared enough to run it and i wont just run it with random people. all i have ran is the ICC 5-Mans
