Defiled Augment Runes

[High Marshal Sigismund]

Am I the only one who hates these things? Why introduce things that make the game more hardcore for hardcore players? Just because I am raiding Mythic doesn't mean I want even MORE things to manage and do. Now I have to keep buying this dumb crap and use probably 20-30 a week on progression. That's extra time needed to farm tens of thousands per week for this minimal, shitty buff.

Hardcore players can have a life too, damn it.

boost HC EN, and you can supply your runes for like 2 months from 1 boost

[Sorrowseer]

I guess you are not a hardcore player then.

Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up.

Using them on every pull on progression is a waste imo. We start using them once were within kill range and have strats worked out. Yes sometimes you might get a kill without them...

[High Marshal Sigismund]

I asked a few people in trade how many they typically used and they told me 100 per progression week. That's about 70,000g per week I need to have just for these silly runes.

This is so ridiculous. Raiding is becoming less about player skill each expansion, and more about being a good little slave to the systems in the game.

This, unless it´s a boss like Cenarius, which you can reset or Bosses with tight dps checks like Guarm.
I like the runes. They add just that tiny difference between a good player and a good player, that is willing to go the extra mile.

Why would you use them on let's say the first pull on a new boss?

Not saying that. I know people only use them during progression and when the leaders think they are realistically within kill range. But for people I've talked to, that's still 15-20 low percentage attempts before they finally down a boss. That's per boss, btw.

I'm pretty sure like, no one in my guild has used these things, granted, we aren't bleeding edge top 100, but we are hoping to get realm first EN tomorrow night.

[Krazzorx]

They explicitly exist so casual players have something to sell to raiders.

[Brickwalls]

Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up.

It's true, though, for as much as you whine about other people this is such a simple, irrelevant thing. They're not that bad and if you can't handle them you are probably not as hardcore as you think.

Okay semi-hardcore. Does that better soothe your fragile sensibilities? It's an irrelevant point. Talk about the augment rune or GTFO my thread.

[Queen of Hamsters]

They exist and Blizzard won't remove them to spare your feelings. Guess they simply want something to be exclusive to the joke that is LFR.

I don't do lfr and have sold plenty of them.

Good to see you know how much gold you make from a boost, and how much they cost. My server TarrenMill, a rune starts at 850gold on the low end, and 1.2k at the expensive end. Now buy roughly 50 a week for progression weeks. Or well for the schedule we use. Then you'll realise your quickly over what you make from a single boost run. So please close your ass if your going to spew out shit.

Im just happy we aren't required to use them due to the retarded price.

[Tweetster]

Where do these drop from?

[Bags]

I think i've only purchased them once so far this progression.

Satchels do a very nice job of building a stash of them.

Opportunity cost. The time spent farming them via Heroics and LFR is more than if you had just done a mythic+ carry or farmed herbs enough herbs for them.

There's a server with Xavius still alive? Fucking hell.

well on rag eu they're only 500-600ish
i get like 80-100k from a night of EN boost
that's what? 140 runes
and since you only need to start using runes once they actually matter (no point spamming them into 90% wipes is there?) you dont need to use that much
even with your 50 a week formula it's roughly 3 weeks worth of runes for 1 night


granted im a rogue so i use a lot less than the average person, thanks to vanish but still, it never seemed like such a burden
