Yeah, I had to go in there on this one yesterday to make boots for my main. Not so bad because I tanked and got instant queue, but still annoying having to do the dungeon and worse for classes that don’t have a tank spec.
I feel like they could have put it somewhere in Brackenhide in the world and made it challenging to get to for low geared characters by putting elites (or just lots of mobs) round it. Putting it at the end of the dungeon just makes it tedious and time consuming.
Had someone made me do the chain feet. He had to do the dungeon too. But he said, np I already cleared it last week, I just need to go there. I dont see the problem.
Good try, but you selectively quoted. Here’s the rest:
“It is worth noting that Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage will sim better, but the curse effect is sometimes potent and in some scenarios it will not perform significantly better in DPS due to deactivating itself. In lower end gear Phial of Glacial Fury may outperform your other phial options and you should rely on simulations for this.”
All the havoc DHs I know use the toxic phial in high end content.
However, you also missed when you guessed at my main. I main feral druid. Feel free to head over to Wowhead and see what Guilty has to say about phial choices
I purposely omitted a part because it only made your opinion look worse but somehow you still thought it was the right thing to post it.
High end? I haven’t seen a single person doing 23-24-25s using this phial because it can actually kill you, they all go for Tepid Versatility for the added survivability even at the cost of a very minor dps loss.
I never guessed at your main, what? Why are you even talking about feral?
If you want to follow a guide to the T and think everything in it is correct then good for you but don’t try to make it like it’s the reality. Those are general guides.
Anyways, you’ve derailed the topic enough. It’s dumb to go do a dungeon just to craft a bunch of phials that could easily be replaced for cheaper and often better options. This is clearly meant to emulate Classic but even in Classic it wasn’t a good idea.
Honestly , I agree that this is crap . And it is also needed for some LW recipes , which is how I got to interact with the thing .
And here is something that happend to me … New public order for the off hand tome that LW can craft . Now this is a public order for epic item , which in itself is rare … oh the joy of managing to catch something like this (first craft too ) . So , I take it and try to craft it … but no go … need altar of decay . OoooK … go look it up , find that it can only be accessed from Brackenhide Hollow AND only if you kill the last boss.
I find a M0 group , I kill last boss … then problem … there is patrol that also needs to be killed to get to the altar . By the time I get to ask people for help , everyone left and as shaman , no stelath for me . I do have Earth Ele , but that is no good for soloing the patrol on M0 … and I die . No way to get there , all time wasted .
Eventually , I do manage to get there on HC but by now the oder is gone . All in all , 1 hour of my time wasted for nothing .
Oops, not willing to admit that you assumed I main DH (and havoc at that) just because I’m posting on one…
… and now accusing me of ‘derailing’ a topic about the altar of decay by talking about the need for items that require the altar of decay.
No, I don’t follow guides to a T. I chat with my fellow players on the class discord and keep up to date with the latest changes and what the sims are showing. You were the one who decided to (selectively) quote a guide and claim that it proved your point.
That’s true but it would be cool to have more stuff like this that gets you out into the world. I’m basically at a point now on my main (this guy) where I’m just doing keys and raiding which is great for alta but still
This, there was a reason an alch lab was added for Shatt and then the requirement to make a flask was removed.
Vanilla flasks went for mad prices because of this. You wanted them, you took the alchemist inside Scholo, bear through 10-20 mins of bashing undead till you got to the lab (which I don’t know where was… ).
Sadly there’s not a single profitable alchemist recipe at the moment, crafting a couple of Ice Phial of Corrupting Rage will literally make you lose 1k gold compared to just selling the mats and buying the pot yourself after, having to go to the altar is just the cherry on top.
The stuff is worth using. It’s just that people are willing to pay a lot for the herbs, presumably because they haven’t looked at the price of the phials and assume they are even more expensive. On top of that, you get people like me who prefer to level crafting professions with AH mats rather than gathering them in the world, and the price of herbs becomes artificially inflated.
