Placing quest item inside an area with level 55+ mobs when level cap is 50 feels really frustrating.
To get Hammer of the Righteous spell/rune for paladins, I have to buy an item from the Grim Guzzler bar inside BRD.
Most groups won’t have the stamina to make it all the way there.
I don’t usually complain about quests, but this feels like an oversight in quest design.
Really frustrating!
I tried BRD at 50 and I don’t think we should be doing BRD at 50…!! SOD shouldn’t be “hardcore” its about discovering and having fun. Those hardcore players should go do retail or normal classic.
No rune should be behind a dungeon not designed for our level.
I only went in there to get that item from the basilisk ghost thing, but then realised I didn’t need to…
I won’t step inside BRD again this phase. Too much time needed and too stressful.
We’re going to put runes at lower levels instead of max so people can discover & use them as they are leveling, or something like that.
Am I just dreaming, or why am I remembering a quote like this from the devs?
Anyway rip lmao.
It sucks but you’ll have to utilise some creative strategies to do it.
We did it as a 4 man guild group, our comp was paladin, druid heal, hunter, and myself on lock. We got the key and cleared to the bridge that leads to golemlord, but we ran into a pack we couldn’t deal with because they were 4 healers.
First we did a suicide run to the golem room with soulstone on the druid, then we cleared the room until the only thing between us was the pack next to the bridge, and the 4 fire elementals on the bridge leading to the guzzler.
We got greedy and tried to just make a run for it and have the pala DI the druid and res him inside the guzzler, but things went wrong and we didn’t make it. So we had to try again.
On the second attempt we used lesser invis pots and I soulstoned our paladin and stayed behind since we had a limited amount, then we had the druid go first as a test run, he made it to the top of the ramp before the pot wore off and he got killed, so the hunter decided to go with our paladin to give him aspect of the pack while they ran past using the pots, they barely made it to the next room and ressed the druid.
Lastly after waiting 2 minutes the hunter and druid pulled the trash pack next to the bridge and the first set of fire elementals, while our paladin ran past using bubble and a speed pot. He made it into the guzzler, died to the elementals, and then soul stone ressed inside, and got the item.
Sorry for the long rant but I hope this helps.
They (devs) specifically said they would not do this anymore since the BFD Meta rune fiasco…
…then they specifically lied. Again 
(On a side note the warlock portal runes are almost as high on the “screw you” scale move)
Bringing 3 hunters is not creative
You can do it in a 10 man raid I think. I saw a group advertising for it yesterday. That makes it really easy.
This is another one of those things where the possible side effects evidently weren’t considered. How many of those people with multiple accounts are selling summons there now?
We didn’t bring 3 hunters? We didn’t even go as a 5 man group…
Patch notes: “* Updated the levels of [Fireguard Destroyer]s in Black Rock Depths to be more appropriate for Phase 3 of Season of Discovery.”
This helps a bit, but still…
People are strange. Easy grind of wild offering in mara and zf in 10ppl raid is too easy (complain about this), getting rune in BRD is too hard (and complain about it too). What you want lol? Game is designed for all players, for casuals and also for players who need a bit of chellenge, so some challenging moments also should be in game. (and you need do it only once, you don’t need grind it multiple times. Some one-time hard moments should be in game also)
Challenges which require putting yourself in the hands of someone else should be optional though, and runes seem more like the basis of SoD rather than an option.
Agreed this Rune is so stupid. Its basically 1-2 hours in the dungeon. The Mobs are 54-55 they are extremely hard to kill, especially for Melees and the only reason to go there is for a Paladin quest like what! Why on earth would you make something this niche so God dam hard to get. Nobody wants to go that deep into the dungeon unless you are Paladin Tank or DPS. There is nothing useful for anyone else.
Why are you making a level 50 Rune in a 55 Elite Dungeon? Why? It’s so god dam stupid. This is not discovery, this is begging 4 other party members or friends to help you do this horrible quest…
The worst thing for me is that we get alot of bad or useless runes as paladin and get completely shafted on the good ones… I mean this is just Divine storm all over again which was locked behind lvl 30-31 mobs and the elite tower in darkshore.
I did the rune and it took me 5hours to get all parts, we spent a good 2hours in BRD maybe a little more.
And for the people suggesting to do it 10man, we tried… it doesn’t work. You can do ZF or mara with 10man but BRD is capped at 5.
