Stormwind Week means Skip week as far as 3+ masked are concerned. Stormwind is just anti-fun.
Hmm, right, Iris 3 in a week, Conflict and Strife r3 in a week, Breath R3 in a week, Lucid R3 in a week, yes, indeed. Blood of the Enemy R3 in a week absolutely possible if you're grinding battlegrounds non stop for 8 hours a day. Fun? Fucking hell no.

Ah, reading over Nymrohd's post again this interpretation makes sense.

The remaining two cloak upgrades will cut down sanity loss by one third compared to now though, so at lvl 15 it will get significantly easier (no faceroll though, sure).
It will become easy enough that I'll probably farm one vision per week for the free 470.
Its now even more crystal clear that SW sucks massive balls. I probably can clear OG twice as fast as SW.
Still not loving them. I'm haven't even tried a multi mask run as I have absolutely no compulsion to do so. Sure it's more challenging and I doff my call to those who've find it, but I really can't be bothered, I get no personal satisfaction and the extrinsic rewards are not interesting enough to make me want to run it at a higher level.
I really wouldn't care if the cloak upgrades weren't tied to the system, I'm okay ignoring stuff that I don't like (case in point, not done a bg in months, haven't done arena in years) but the cloak upgrade is a bit too good to ignore (and no, that didn't contradict what I said - the rewards don't make me want to run it on a higher difficulty. But I will skeepwalk collecting the pages).
I'd have quit at rank 12 if they hadn't nerfed how much the quests would need. Guess I'll do up to 15 now. Though I'll probably wait until it's org to get rank 15 as it's quicker.
Never understood this, but where does all the downtime on Alleria come from? On Thrall there is virtually zero, so I’m not debating that issue. With Alleria however, you can knock the bombs away, you can dodge darkened sky, and you can stay on her until almost the full cast of Void Eruption until you need to LoS. The Chains are really the only thing that causes downtime to a big extent.
Also, if you have immunities or big damage reductions you can just take the hit from Eruption and then cancel your thing if you need to and get right back on damaging her.
It just seems like people act like theirs 2 1/2 minutes in a 3 minute fight (not even that really) where you do nothing.
iv been having fun with on my demon hunter i mainly carry my friend that is a healer tho it.
You're conveniently forgetting the fact that she's ranged, you still need to avoid the eye, dodging Darkened Sky is harder than Thrall's frontal, kicking the bombs still takes time/doesn't always work perfectly and she can cast Polymorph through LoS after you try to position the eye. The only downtime on Thrall is when he starts with middle eruption and maybe 2 seconds of Hopelessness. Add Burning Bridge to that and it gets rather crowded.

Being ranged doesn’t matter. Darkened Sky has patches around her that are open. Her hit box is big enough you can still hit her if a patch is 1/2-3/4 of the way under her. Kicking the bombs is instant and can be done without stopping damage. You don’t need to position the eye, you just don’t look at it. Poly is simply interrupted and I’ve never seen her cast it while you need to hide and LoS something else.
I also stated that I am not comparing her to Thrall as I agree he is easier, but that’s not the point I’m debating. I simply stated I don’t understand how people act like there’s some insane amount of downtime on Alleria. Between chains and LoS’ing Eruption (if you aren’t damage reducing/immunity) there’s maybe 10-30 seconds of downtime on her. Less downtime if you do immune the Eruption cast. Considering she lasts a few minutes that is not a big amount. Hell, a full clear no mask run she takes about a minute and you don’t even need to LoS Eruption.
