This means that the speed of getting them is of the matter, nothing else. <br /><br />This game is about getting gear and then AFK-ing in your leet gearscore.<br /><br />Making it harder is against that, and frankly, if you are already that experienced to pull off what you are describing in your post, chances are that you know those heroics by heart already, which can only mean they are already a bore.Quicksilverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514588622395952812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-25496607570440847302010-06-29T00:07:45.116-05:002010-06-29T00:07:45.116-05:00actually it is really fun! you don't need outs...actually it is really fun! you don't need outstanding gear to do it even. What you do need, is a very good understanding of the abilities of your class, the abilities of your party members and a extremely good understanding of the enemies you are facing :)<br /><br />I've done it before, as 3 warlocks and a mage in Sunken temple. We had lousy gear, but it was perhaps the best group that I ever had in the whole of WoW.<br /><br />And for making sure people do not trivalise content in better gear? there are always enrage timers :) solves the problem of people killing things solo until they reach perhaps maybe 50k dps or so :)LifeDeathSoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404279628138864603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-18173984233665020392010-06-28T14:25:33.328-05:002010-06-28T14:25:33.328-05:00The whole idea is to make the content much more di...The whole idea is to make the content much more difficult via unorthodox means. <br /><br />Similar to soloing Outlands heroics. <br /><br />I've done something very similar with a group of 4 DPS and 1 tank (me) doing Heroic PoS without a healer. It does bring challenge to once trivial content.Fuubaarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-56608081458872047102010-06-28T13:22:13.084-05:002010-06-28T13:22:13.084-05:00It's not meant to be efficient, only to offer ...It's not meant to be efficient, only to offer a different way to play and a different challenge than we usually face.<br /><br />That's not at all the logical extension of my idea.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-69276772720932136612010-06-28T11:10:58.238-05:002010-06-28T11:10:58.238-05:00The start of your post: "I mean no tanks, not...The start of your post: "I mean no tanks, not even overgeared DPS who can tank as well as a tank in blues (or close enough)."<br /><br />The climax of your post: "Carefully balancing aggro would allow players to keep bosses focused on the player which can survive the attacks."<br /><br />So, your thousand-word ramble boils down to letting the dps each tank for 25% of the time through use of cooldowns and balancing aggro. That does sound kinda interesting, although it makes absolutely no sense in terms of the goals/background of the game. Why not suggest that we have only one class in wow, which can heal 20% of the time, CC 20% of the time, tank 20% of the time, single target dps 20% of the time, and aoe dps 20% of the time? That is the logical extension of your idea, after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
