It's hypocrytical humor, don't sweat it.

And there goes the monk to level 90 to. Also, since they changed the raf thingies to an ingame thing, I saw I had a spare reward No idea where it came from, but I got the new flying thing ^^ (Also started a new raf with my gf to finally get a 2 seater mount aswell :p but we are "only" level 50 after about 5 hours playing... )

The first Arena run is free, but i'd suggest getting your ass kicked a few times in Unranked mode to get and idea of what you like. And a bit of reading to catch up on the advanced concepts like BREAD if you're not a big CCG fan.

I played a good deal of TG back in the day (yikes, thats along time ago), so I got the basics down (Hearthstone seems a good deal less involved) - but "BREAD"?

Also, what I seem to need currently is to learn what tricks I can come up against (and the balance between fast play and hard play in regards to minions). I'm the guy who always needed a spare table for my MTG deck (well figuratively speaking) - I keep running into too much lowcost or not getting stuff when I need it.

[Sagara]

BREAD is a priority system for Draft, it stands for:

Bomb - the cards that win the game. Think the big killer Legendaries and stuff.
Removal - cards that can stop Bombs dead in their tracks. Silences, minion killer, the works.
Evasion management - things that impede the enemy's minion from hitting your face, or allows you to bypass those evasive manoeuvers. Taunts are the big ones, Freezes are another one. Silences could count as an anti-evasion.
Another version lists Efficiency here: things that are above their cost in value (Chillwind Yeti).
Aggro/Abilities - things that hurt, one way or another. Knife Juggler is the poster child here.
Dregs - the rest.

[Nooska]

So going through an arena draft or a "suggets cards" in make your own set, I should follow BREAD from left to right (in general) - so I should always pick up Gelbin Mekkatoque for instance (iin the make your own deck - I would surmise that he will never show up in an arena draft).

(talking about this, aren't we enough HS'ers by now that we sorta need a specific thread for this (like we have for pet battles and MTG)?

[KysenMurrin]

It's in the Other Games forum. And no, Gelbin Mekkatorque is a pretty weak legendary.

I used this as a guide when I first started on Arena drafts. Only covers Common neutral cards, but the reasoning helped me.

Same here, extra reward.

Was tempted by the Nightwing thing, but since I already have the crotch-rocket, I haggled it out about the pets. Got the gold piggy because the only other place to get it was from Chinese servers, for one week (Christmas to New Years, I think). Back in 07 or 08.

And the silver piggy was a little too white.

[KysenMurrin]

Commencing extra long weekend. Most of which will be sitting around at home relaxing to use up some holidays before year's end, but Sunday I'll actually be heading off to a comic con, and also having lunch with old friends from Uni who happen to live in the area.

[Andurin]

Finished the Secrets part of the legendary chain on my warrior. Had a bit of a tough time to chuck the spear at Nalak and survive long enough on my own but managed to solo it in the end and got the meta gem ^^ Also, Tankacow finally got a tankspec again ^^

Wish I had known as I reached that part on an alt recently and could have used some help.

On a success related note: I now have 9 level 90s. Finally got my Shaman the last few levels. Only my Druid and Monk left for a full house.

Still need that help? Because it is really easy when you figure it out... I did it without speed boosts, leaving combat, or abusing the guards at the ToT entrance

Thanks, but no. I just stopped being useless and got it sorted. Had no problem on my other chars - just kept dying on my DK. Which, given he's an undead death knight, is kind of ironic.

[bldavis]

might have a lead on a pretty good job..wont know for sure for a few days, but if i get it, it allows me to finally move back out of my parents house...

it would be so wonderful
i love my parents and sisters, but ffs this is getting a bit pathetic being i am 30 now and still living in my mom's basement (yay for being a walking cliche!)

[halabar]

LFR miracles can happen... my DK managed to get both weapons off of Noushie in one LFR run, one from the drop, the other from the bonus roll. Yes, I realize he has used up is LFR luck for the next 6 months...

[Ruldar]

With this past week's kills, all three of my characters have gotten both the tier gloves and pants off of the Celestials, and all three are rocking the 4 piece bonus. I'm kind of floored, to be honest, Nalak was never this generous.

[culhag]

Paragons of the Klaxxi 25-H dead !

[bldavis]

i might need to start selling my leveling services...

90 #16 finished yesterday, and is already 484

[Teranoid]

Cloak #2 (for new main) done!

Man it's gonna be good to be horde again.

[Newsom]

Onyxian Drake GET!

[bldavis]

finally finished act 2 on my maurader in PoE
(and it has helped me avoid burnout on wow again..so double bonus!)

oh and i should be done with my trial of valor on my horde druid this week and my alliance hunter next week! /happy dance

[Amirya]

1 more friggin' Runestone to go, and I have yet to kill the Sha of Pride this week.

ToT LFR is, as always, exhausting.
