Seeing how it hasn't been asked what are the 3 blue bottoms bottom left?

They swap gear for now, I'll replace them with add-ons to to swap around my UI depending on what I'm doing once I have the time to write one.

From top to bottom:

  • Naked: because I hate being inspected when I'm in town.
  • Farming: Random DPS gear.
  • Healing: My typical raid healing set.

I still have to manually /cg wear [sr|reg|stam] for fights where those are appropriate but there is an addon for either closetgnome or bigwigs that will automatically swap gear depending on which boss you're fighting.

That's closetgnome? I been looking for a gear changer, that isn't dependent on fubar/titan panel. Add some buttons to my UI.

And the best KJ was 10% by an unknown person from an unknown guild. But the best confirmed attempt is by Deus Vox is 34%. Wonder who's going to get him?

Game over. All bosses dead.

Had ZA tonight, took a prot pally, downed Jan'Alai, and got a few attempts in at Hex Lord. Had no mage, so had to kill 2 adds. 2 attempts best one at 42%. Probally down him next week, 4th time for guild, and take some shot at Jin.

Hex is the step up in difficulty for ZA bosses, tho if you have decent healers and a varied Raid setup then you should see him go down. Jins in some ways easier tho has 1 or 2 kinda ruff phases. The phase where he turns into the hawk again and does the whirlwinds will probs be where you wipe a few times as people learn to move

I found Hex to be rather easy, though I have to agree Jin is a right pain in the arse. He's quite easy until you get to Lynx when he proceeds to maul your raid. Then it's a struggle through the Dragonhawk phase till he's dead.

I'd have to agree, I didn't see anything major hard with Hex Lord. Burn the add(s) that you need to kill. Keep the rest CC, and burn boss as fast as you can. From a tank's point of view didnt' seem hard, tank Lord or tank an add or two. From the two attempts this defiently seems like a healer fight.

My guild had killed Lord 3 times with a full tier 5 group and Jin twice with same group. Had some drama awhile back and they all left. We haven't even got back into 25 mans, yet slowly rebuilding. But for alot of us more active raiders, Kara gives us nothing but badges, and duplicate items we can gem/enchant different way (using tank stuff for Hydross set). So I think being able to get Lord down to 42% second try with a Kara/ZA group is awesome. I defiently think if we can down Jan'alai next week (probally not going to have a pally tank), then I can defiently see Lord going down. And hopefully get some solid attempts in on Jin.

Leotheras the Blind is down (first time).

Unfortunately I got disconnected while I had a demon on me. When I came back I was already dead ... bummer.

It's better to be disconnected and lose the demon fight than alive. Being DC'd leaves you standing there helpless even if you get possessed. You die when the boss does.

Way back in the day our strategy used to include "ALT+F4 if you fail at demons". Back when he had the extra HP (5 million?) we simply didn't have enough DPS to kill mind-controlled people and still make the enrage (of course, losing someone to demons often meant we didn't have enough anyway -- but at least we could try to zerg him down through enrage). I recall having to wear a partial spell damage set to kill my demons and to help get Leo down during demon phase: It's one of the few fights where healers actually attacked the boss and it was nice to be doing so much at once.

Grats though. He was one of the best fights in SSC/TK.

Are you playing on vista? I had issues with patching if I didn't use the "run as administrator" option.

The blizzard support forums are a better place to get help with problems like this.

Hex is the step up in difficulty for ZA bosses...

Agreed, although apparently he's been nerfed. In his original version he would soul-drain from the start of the encounter - now he doesn't start until 80%.

Soul drain acts as a soft-enrage sort of like Gruul's grows or Gorefiend's doom blossums/ghosts. In the original version it was pretty common to leave as many adds CC'd as possible while you killed the boss in order to stay ahead of the enrage. Now you can kill them all and have no real worries about not having enough health to survive the random AOE or Spirit Bolts.

The biggest cause of wipes was a CC breaking during spirit bolts: you can now remove that from the encounter entirely.

From a healer's perspective it was mostly "Did I roll an AOE healing class?" If you did, win. If not, hope the other healer did. Cheesing it with Black Temple shadow-resist gear is another way to win, but when that's an option you've probably stopped doing hexlord anyway.

thankyou for you help yesterday, i tryed that but the problem still happened

ive trying runing the laucher in "run as administrator" by goin to

right click on the shortcut on the desktop> blizzard downloader in run as administrator and other applications

im currently downloading a patch from the "World of Warcraft Classic Client Download"

In what order did you install? Did you physically insert the discs? or download off the internet? Did you also purchase the burning Crusade?

I know in the past there was a certain order you had to apply the patches

I recently installed the game myself and installed in order.. of:

World of Warcraft 2.0 Pre-BC client

World of Warcraft : The burning crusade

patch 2.3 (~ 700 megs)

patch 2.4 (~ 200 megs)

After that it worked..

I am not sure about install disc's I downloaded my off the website, a bit slow but it got the job done

Hope this helps

My only wish was they would make it 'harder' to obtain, like raising the requirement - At least a level 70 Character should be required, perhaps even 2.

No thanks. I'd rather blizz don't subscribe to the Ninty book of how to unlock content.

When I've just bought an expansion I'd like to use at least some of the features right away!

Getting a little frustrated, guild are doing well in ZA, Gruul, Maggy but don't seem inclined to give TK or SSC much of a go :( There seems to be a core of 10 or so players that are keen (that's why we've done well in ZA), but getting the numbers for harder 25mans is hard.

If you can survive till Wotlk then that 10man core will be ideal for all the 10man tier raids.

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event.

Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings.

Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter.

They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations.
