I was going to write a post about how we killed Anub’arak on 25man hardmode last night, but since we didn’t – that will have to wait

So when 3.2 first hit I was running 3 different level 80 characters through the daily heroic minefield.  When it first started it wasn’t so bad because I actually hadn’t done any heroics for a very very long time and so, while they weren’t exactly new content, I had forgotten bits and bobs so it wasn’t totally mind numbing.  However that quickly changed, mainly due to the almighty random number generator’s persistence in choosing the same fucking dungeons over and over on consecutive days as if encouraged by some kind of malevolent force.  Not that anyone really minds when it picks Azjol’Nerub 5 times in a row though, rogues and hunters sure are popular dps on the days when it does!  But when you’ve just completed your 3rd gundrak in almost as many days, it starts to grate.

I pretty much can’t be fucked to do the daily heroic on most of my characters now and this is for other reasons than just that the content is boring as hell.  Mainly that the end is already in sight – triumph badge wise – for both Cows and Deathcow, that and I don’t really give a shit about Bullshot.  Cows is currently getting 61 badges a week just from raids alone, while Deathcow is getting around 49 (no hardmode 25).  I only now need another 70 badges in order to have enough to upgrade my last piece of 232 t9 to 245, once I win a trophy.  Trophies are coming thick and fast since we now get 4x between 10 guys on 10 man hardmode, and then another 9x between 25 guys on both 25mans (soon to be 10x hopefully).  In fact as I mentioned a while back we’re getting even more trophies due to splitting up the mains into 2x 25 man groups and filling the rest of those groups with alts, and giving trophies to mains.  As a result, the motivation to actually run through many more heroics is rapidly evaporating.

I wouldn’t give it much more than 2 weeks before you stop seeing any Apex mains doing the daily heroic any more, and so I guess no more 3am crew for me either which definitely isn’t a bad thing

Just to add, I recently had an argument on some forum somewhere (I would link it but I totally forgot which of the many forums I frequent it was on) about which meta is best for resto druids.  Of course as most druids know this is the Insightful Earthsiege Diamond, which is always better unless you massively out-gear the content you are running. I found a great post here which explains why in more detail.
