Awesome. Now my pugs can get stuff down even better...

I still can't believe that people weren't able to get far already. The 10% was a big buff. Just surprises me to see people still wiping on easier bosses =/I'm no pro myself, but I don't have wipes on anything but Lich King, and that's specifically 25.I was unaware Putricide was still considered "hard".Edit: PuGs aside. This is amazing news for PuGs
Yay I love this buff.I've stopped raiding as much as I did before, and this helps a ton as I still want to see LK and the rest of ICC.
If my guild does not manage to get Putricide down we could consider stop raiding at all :<
This buff is great for casuals, which I certianly am. I'm the MT for another guilds 3rd group 10m ICC. Meaning when groups 1 or 2 lose someone for whatever reason they take the best matching player in group 3 and we have to find a new one. It sorta sucks because we pug 1-2 people every week. There's 3 people who will probably never move up because they lead the raid and I'm really good friends with them. If they did I'd find another group or raid with my guild. We never extend the lockout because a) finding someone to start at Putricide on Tuesday night is near impossible and b) we all love our easy frosties. We try to run twice a week 2-3 hrs. a night, but most weeks can't get everyone back a 2nd night. We have yet to down Putricide and previously had trouble with Rotface. Last night we 1-shot every boss up to Putricide except Fester because the OT and Tank Heals missed their CDs on the tank swap and the OT, a DK, takes some big hits. Tonight we should get Putricide and I think we're gonna try Dreamwalker.My guild is pretty social but they want to start raiding ICC, 15% might finally be enough, but I'll go on my alt with them who's been pugging on the weekends whenever he can. Though even 30% won't help some who keep asking to tank even though they couldn't OT Naxx.I must say though that I really don't understand anyone hating on this buff. Are any guilds yawning through 25m H LK? And asking for some free/better gear for doing it w/o the buff, really? What about the free/better gear you get with the buff for being able to down bosses you couldn't before? Or just the fact that you can down each boss quicker allowing you to progress further? Even hard core guilds, I assume, like the buff to quickly gear their mains and alts in H ICC gear. The only, incredibly small and petty, point that has been made is that others are getting gear easier than you did. But the fact is, as stated by Abcat, this would have happened anyway, the only difference is time. And if that little means that much to you than prepare to be disappointed in Life.
