Heroic deathwing w/ all prior reg modes

[rdruid69]

Doesn't work at all for me. I just get ported back to the entrance, raid still at normal and thrall is gone.

I been farming this on 25HC for mayber over 6 months with 8 runs per week so I can tell you this happend to me twice or maybe 3 times. Just wait 1 hour and then try it again.

Yup, worked for me 10 minutes ago, confirmed... and man... heroic 25 Deathwing solo is still annoying lol

This is super annoying, especially if you are undergeared. But the only class I wasn't able to do it was mage. You just get rekt for the parasite damage. All other classes have enought selfhealing to do it, maybe BM monk is the hard one for me cause healing suck, you have to actually tank it and dps is so low too, but in last phase you can kill bloods with only 1 keg smash...



Just something I maybe found, in wowhead drops for Blazing Drake are : 10N=4%, 10HM=5%, 25N=12%, 25HM=15%. THIS NUMBERS ARE NOT LONGER RIGHT... I have over 130 25HM kills since 5.4.8 so The actually odd of having at least one drop for me are 99.999999% so I'm the unluckiest person in the world or this numbers are not accurate anymore... I just start farming this on 25N cause probably mount is not longer droping in 25HM for any kind of bug or something so if you are looking for this mount you should probably stop trying 25HM Hope this helps...

Edit: I confuse Life Binder with Blazing Drake. Just fix it. All about the drops are for Blazing Drake (not Life Binder).

This is not true. The mount is still dropping from, and only from, heroic mode. The drop rate on wowhead is really inaccurate because it used to be 100% drop.

Ya, that 15% number is not accurate, it is just using old data mixed with new one before the drop rate changed, as @no_power stated. With 130 kills it is not exactly outrageous your statistical probability of having not yet gotten the mount. The actual mount drop rate is 1%. This has been standard operating procedure for some time by blizz. All rare drop mounts have been changed to 1%, with exception to maybe 1 or 2 out there. This mount is a 1% drop rate mount. So, you can do the math like this, for those that don't know how to calculate probabilities... Basically do this. It has a 99% chance of NOT dropping. Therefore: 0.99^100 = 0.366 x 100 = 36.6% In other words, the chance of it "NOT" dropping at least 1 time in 100 kills is 36.6 %. Roughly 1 our of 3 people, after 100 kills, on avg., will not get the mount.

You have 130 kills, so 0.99^130 = 27.08% chance of it NOT dropping. I know it sucks, but you are definitely NOT an outlier. 1 in 4 people, roughly, will not get the mount after 130 kills. After 200 kills, you are still at 13.4% chance of it not dropping... You know what really sucks? the 4.9% of people that still haven't gotten the mount after 300 kills lol.

Just be patient man, it will happen. I've gotten lucky and gotten both Mimiron's head AND the Phoenix by farming weekly, yet I have at about 275 kills on the Baron from UD strat for that vanilla old school mount and it still hasn't dropped for me. It SUCKS!!! But, what can you do about it? Just keep plugging away. Eventually it'll happen.

Sorry I mean Blazing drake. I just fix it :P Stupid mistake.

I'm the unluckiest person in the world

RNG - I'm getting a Blazing Drake every 2-3 weeks but need the Lifebinder - the last Pre-MoP mount missing in my collection.
(Farming 10HC, currently at the same number of kills, don't see a reason to farm on 25HC because drop chance should be the same)

Edit: Finally got it after 381 kills, seems like Rarity's kill counter is completely wrong although I manually entered it when I installed the addon. Oh and also 2 more Blazing Drakes in April as expected

Screen ? ☺

Screen ? ☺

of what exactly?

[no_power]

of what exactly?

Of all your Blazing Drakes, I guess.

[sezz]

Why would I want to keep them?

There's nothing special about getting a lot of useless junk when you kill a boss 10-20 times a week, especially mounts you farmed for ages seem to drop more often once you have them and don't farm them anymore (but that propably just an illusion).

[Notfincher]

For me works 25man but not 10man (copypasted one of the replies)

Its quite oposite for me got 2 Lifebinders within 2 weeks but blazing i have yet to see drop since 4.3 =/

Still working, EU.

[ted221]

Just tried was on 25 man normal.
The macro started the encounter but it did not switch to heroic or give heroic gear.

[emanon_wk]

still working for me EU

[XenocratesB]

So, I'm not entirely sure what makes it work and not work - this week was especially wonky for me to test because I was switching a lot of my toons off Ultraxion lockouts entirely to just farm Madness so I don't get burned out on this farming business. Still, it definitely still works for me today US. I think one of the issues people have is that if you had gotten to Heroic Madness legitimately, and was trying to switch from normal to heroic, you would see a message telling you to wait 60 seconds (or less) like usual. However, since you're still inside that window and are using this method, the error message is completely skipped and the encounter simply starts. I saw this back to back - did it on my warlock twice but didn't wait, said **** it, I'll do normal. Then went in on my DK, tabbed out for a minute or two, and heroic started up perfectly.

So I think a lot of the errors can just be fixed by sitting by Thrall, tabbing out for a minute or two, then trying it.
