Professionally Raid in WOW and run sub 2:20, possible?

Sounds about as likely as taking up unicorn husbandry

Where does the income come from? I could see why people would want to watch pvp but not really pve.

What class do you play as?

7 hrs a day my arse. Pretty sure you you can only do every raid once a week per character or so. So, unless you have like 18 maxed out characters you're a bullshittin doucher.

2:30 or 2:20? Either way, ofcourse, how is this even a question? People run doubles doing taxin 40h/week jobs with possibly long drives to work as well. Why wouldn't you be able while playing games for 7 hours to? It sounds like the perfekt oppurtunity to me. Only problem I see is if you mess up sleep and diet which om guessing is normal for gamers, but you don't have to mess up...

Believe it or not but high end wow raidrs and streamers make a very good living. I was raiding back in "The Burning Crusade" and had a very handsome wage / free to play gaming/ sponsor bought computer, clothing and headsets.

Yes- if 2:30 is in your wheelhouse, that could be accomplished off of 1 run a day. 7 hours of any kind of work shouldn't interfere with that.

I raid in a US top 20 guild and play a Tauren Resto Druid. The grind for legendaries is over right now for me, I got lucky. I hate how we got to run so many M+ in Legion though.

I ran dipped right under 14:00 in outdoor last year and ran under 4:05 in the mile indoor this year. I know it's not training for something as long as you are going for, but I am able to manage that and being a computer science major. You'll be able to hit your goal.

My guild rank and PRs are both far worse than yours. You make me feel like such an underachiever. To be fair when I was in college I played EverQuest like 15 hours per day, but now I have a life. Except even then my guilds and times were worse than yours. Keep it up, kid.

What counts as a "very handsome wage" in your book?

from a nerd.... "damn, this dude"

Except this is a lie.

I am a 54 yr old who uses bitmoji and gets a sore neck from scrolling through twitter all day- and I have no idea what you are talking about. But you probably don't know what cable tv is.

Can someone explain what a Professional Raider is in world of warcraft. I dont play the game and I am generally curious.

WTF language are you nerds speaking?

I have a level 110 Tauren Shaman, I have raided since Vanilla. I think if u wanted to professional play and make a living like people do that you would NOT be able to competitive run too, the people who make huge wages from raiding play 15-18 hours a day.

i am 7x rank1 and run 2:28. i do push and sit ups in the breaks of the games and run 10k before and after I play

Technically, you're the only person who can't relate to everyone else in this thread, making you the outcast and loser;)
