This makes the chances for an opportunistic boss kill very high.<br /><br />Anyway I approve of the change.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475673092257340904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003106972062679804.post-38261007061930773842013-10-03T09:23:23.936+01:002013-10-03T09:23:23.936+01:00Faction tagging came in during 5.1 I think.

Nalak was always faction tagged anyway, so definitely since 5.2 (and it applied to previous world bosses).Sierrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16489800457804431597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003106972062679804.post-91701986448125007482013-10-02T15:58:50.014+01:002013-10-02T15:58:50.014+01:00I wouldn't swear that faction tag has been in ...I wouldn't swear that faction tag has been in play for world bosses from the beginning of MoP but at least as far back as I can remember, that's been the case... I've only grouped up for a small %age of my world boss kills over the course of the expansion, normally I just go in solo and try to survive. Unlike rares, the world bosses have a fixed health pool so even if you only get one shot in you aren't penalizing anyone for you being there.<br /><br />I have so many max level toons that remembering who had done which world boss each week (and I'm doing Ordos as well) was ridiculously hard, to the point that I investigated add-ons to do it for me. SavedInstances. HIGHLY recommended. :) It'll even track (somewhat indirectly) whether a toon has done the lesser token turn-in each week. Has a lot of useful info, really, but I mostly use it for tracking world boss kills.<br /><br />Since I normally don't run classes with tank pets (or are tanks) I prefer the pink birds and ... bull dudes, whatever they're called. The crawlers aren't bad either. Those all just have obvious ground effects that are pretty easy to avoid, even for a melee. The frogs and snakes can (and do) bite me and the upper-area humanoids are more trouble than they're worth, as are the divers around the ship. Turtles are okay on caster toons if you can stay more or less at range.<br /><br />I find the Ordos fight easier than most of the celestials (except Chi-Ji, that one tends to go well for even my solo toons, the others are problematic, especially for melee) as long as enough folks are within 20yds of the boss, he has a shared damage blast that'll wipe you out if you're short of melee and all the ranged are hanging at max range so encourage the ranged to hang close if possible. Other than that mechanic, he's surprisingly soft for a guy requiring the skill (the challenges do require some) and patience to get a legendary.Rnoreply@blogger.com
