Bind On Equip

Episode:195

Date:10th march 2013

 

 

Welcome to episode 195 of the Bind on Equip Wow podcast, where we talk about ourselves as wow players and how we see the game.

It’s a social podcast about us, so it you are looking for hardcore analysis, tuck and roll now!

 

 

 

Who the hell are we? Let me explain by introducing you to my two co-hosts, firstly … Tempeste!

 

My name is Wembli, and this is my week..

 

 

 

Wembs week.

 

Work-

-Curious: pushed his luck once too often with the wrong owner.

-Irony: his child payment avoidance tactic meant he had no rights or payout.

-Another driver rang him.

-I inherited his truck.

-sadly air con not working, and he hadn’t told anyone

-Spent two hours cleaning it just to not feel violated to sit in it.

-I have a two day course next week- two working days!

-Cowboy: already gone. After his abduction of a customer, I suggest public transport driver, livestock transporter or hijacker.

 

Home-

We’ve had a very hot summer in Melbourne. Possibly the first in a few years where it’s been hot constantly and I haven’t had an air conditioner in my work vehicle. I’ve officially had enough. Roll on winter.

 

Sum up your week ingame in a sentence:

New stuff, my god the new stuff!

 

 

 

Temps week

 

 

Work- The big cheese started. I enjoyed being able to just walk out at the end of my shift!

Coinciding with that I started Uni and thought I had a schedule all worked out and then it went haywire but I managed to get all my readings and commenting done! /phew

 

Home- At home Wemb and I clicked over 28 years of being together on Thursday – a great achievement!

 

Sum up your week ingame in a sentence: Its all about the new dailies!! Loving doing those and learning the new area, not loving the moron alli’s that hunt in packs!

 

 

 

 

News & Current Affairs:

Patch 5.2 Gear Guide (from wowhead)

 

 

Here’s the highlights of the new gear:

• Bosses drop ilvl 502 gear on LFR difficulty, ilvl 522 gear on Normal difficulty, and ilvl 535 gear on Heroic difficulty.
• To keep farm bosses interesting, Thunderforged items have a low chance to drop that are six item levels higher than regular drops. Thunderforged versions can be found for all items, save for tier pieces, on normal and heroic difficulty.
• You can also get a full set of ilvl 522 gear between Shado-Pan Assault and crafted items.
• Shoulders, waists, necks and boots appear to be trash drops (links to confirming comments). Trash drops can have thunderforged versions, and heroic trash items can be found on the BMAH. Some weapons may also be shared boss drops or via a bonus roll.
• If you’re looking to get ilvl 480 for Tier 15 LFR, here’s what can bolster your ilvl:

• The chance of getting loot from Tier 14 raids has been greatly increased and LFR satchels can include lower ilvl versions of trash epics. You can acquire up to 20 Elder Charm of Good Fortune a week now to use on your Tier 14 bonus rolls–they can easily be looted from Trove of the Thunder King around the Isle of Thunder, and also from killing various new rare spawns and doing dailies.
• Reputation Gear. Costs have been reduced by 25-50%. This can net you some 489 or 496 gear.
  • Shado-Pan, The August Celestials, Golden Lotus, The Klaxxi have had their gear costs reduced by 50%. Items now cost625 – 1125.
  • Operation: Shieldwall and Dominance Offensive have had their gear costs reduced by 25%. Items now cost 937 -1312.
• Shado-Pan Assault sells ilvl 522 necks at Neutral reputation for 1250, so fly on over to Ao Pye and get an upgrade.
• Malevolent PvP gear now costs Honor Points. This can get you some easy ilvl 476 armor and ilvl 470 weapons.
• Oondasta is meant to be a tough world boss, but drops ilvl 522 gear.

If you’re looking to get Valor Points to buy Shado-Pan Assault epics or some of the old discounted pieces, here’s what you can do:

• Run Tier 14 LFRs. There are five sections and each gives 90 the first time you run it.
• Run Heroics. Your first random dungeon of the day is 80 and subsequent ones are 40. In addition, several dungeons in 5.2 award more Valor Points because they take slightly more time/effort to complete:
  • Siege of Niuzao Temple: 5 bonus Valor Points
  • Scholomance: 10 bonus Valor Points
  • Shado-Pan Monastery: 15 bonus Valor Points
• Run Scenarios. Your first random scenario is 40 and subsequent ones are 20. In addition, the following scenarios in 5.2 award 5 more Valor Points because they require more effort: Brewmoon Festival, Greenstone Village, A Little Patience, andTheramore’s Fall
• Run Challenge Modes. While this may seem daunting at first, you can get 60-80 Valor Points for simply completing the daily challenge mode, and then an additional 55-85 Valor Points if you rank at Bronze, Silver, or Gold respectively.

 

 

 

 

 

What’s with that?

In this weeks Whats With That, i want to say hooray to Blizzard for bringing the purple dome back from outside the Nexus in Lich King so that everyone is safe and dismounted at the questgivers in thunder isle. Now can we please have one at halfhill?

 

Crazy Train:

Wemb: with wych unable to attend on Thursday, Zooe stepped into the tanking role with Tran on his pally & guildy Viziel joined us on his ele shaman. We had a great night and cleared all the way to elegon whom we have only had a look at once before.

We got Elegon down to 49% on Thursday night – so VERY good progress and looking forward to doing more tomorrow night.

 

Other Raids:

 

Lfr’ing:

Temp: We spent about 30 minutes yesterday getting Sin and Naxx geared for LFR 1 & 2! It was awesome to take new blood in. I love LFR it is such a nice relaxing way to see raid content – even if there are complete morons to be found there.

 

Heroics:

 

 

Pugs.

 

 

Pants On Head Guild.

 

 

Mains.

Wemb: still loving my fury warrior, though not loving the removal of the Deadly Calm talent in the latest patch. Hitting it was like when you see Coke on special at the supermarket, you load up and enjoy the savings. Now they have changed the glyph for an offensive burst bonus by putting it onto a defensive action. To continue the analogy, they have fixed it so that coke goes on special when you are trying to save money.

Temp: I do love my shaman but I am not great at the elemental spec, I much prefer my healing spec … but I will get better. My gear is slowly being replaced with more dps oriented gear and I think that will make a difference! My main focus is definitely getting this toon valor capped each week.

 

 

 

Alts.

Wemb: got less than half a level on my Druid to go before 90. Been hoping to do some stuff with wych on his hunter to get them up to speed.

Temp: I have had no time to spend on any of my alts. Between work and home – its been a very busy few weeks! Hoping that will settle a little as we get into a better routine! I have spent a little time on my mage and I still LOVE playing her! So will try to spend a little more time levelling her.

 

 

 

World/seasonal events.

 

 

Gear.

Wemb: banished nearly all the blue items from my warriors gear now, got weapons and one piece left.

 

 

ValorJustice points.

 

 

Rep.

 

 

Professions.

 

PvP.

 

 

Achievements.

 

 

Listener input:

 

 

Wemb: shouts, I miss Allecia!

Temp: I have a community twitter announcement. Firstly let me say I LOVE seeing what you are all up to on Twitter, however I do NOT LOVE seeing you spam twitter with shit you find on Pinterest. That is all.

 

 

Goodbye.
