Eh, it's Monday and it's a super dead server so I'm not concerned

mellow pilot
#

If you find good crafters on your main server you can ask to join their guild on whatever character you want the craft and do a guild workorder

Ash is on Mal'ganis, my Druid is on Bladefist.
Ash is in the guild my Druid is in on Bladefist.

I mean, you can join the CRAFTER's guild

Got kicked from a key before it even started after dropping a closet on my Lock

#

Then saw them using it immediately

#

Then I got a Priory key right after where tank pinged just outside the last room and healer died, and we wiped. So he quit on the key with 7 minutes left.

#

For some reason I should never do keys on Voidbound week

#

I have such terrible success.

#

This is a very big disagree

#

Theres a certain person who was banned from here that proves that one doesnt always directly translate to the other

no matter how good

most likely != all

#

the only time i use raid / parses is if people have near equal score / gear

manic sedge
#

I'll take a 99 parser with 200 rio lower than what I'd normally take over a blue parser with same gear but 200 higher rio

glad harness
#

Very apples to oranges comparison

noble kestrel

I'll take the person with the funny name every time

haha

manic sedge
#

like if you can't dps in a scripted environment, how're you supposed to dps in a more chaotic one

glad harness
#

Surviving in a raid, versus m+. Responsibility in raid, versus m+. Two very entirely different beasts.

noble kestrel
#

Damage in a raid enviroment can also depend on the group (padding, etc) too

manic sedge
glad harness
#

Its like asking of the world class excel spreadsheet maker can compete in premier league

manic sedge
#

? xd

#

yeah raid doesn't have any transferable skills to M+ I guess

#

my point is: if you're not able to do what you're supposed to on training dummies, you're not magically gonna be able to deal dmg when you suddenly have to rotate cc and defensives

glad harness
#

Just like doing 19s arent automatically going to make you a godtier raider

manic sedge
#

I didn't say that

#

you're significantly more likely to be a good raider though

glad harness
fringe umbra
#

In my experience its the opposite

manic sedge
#

how are we even arguing against that skills transfer between game modes

glad harness
#

Because they dont

manic sedge
#

lol

fringe umbra
#

Not because some skills arent transferable, but because people that mostly play m+ often raid only for gear so they can do m+

#

Which means they dgaf about raid

worldly forge
#

and doing mechanics in raid are way different than M+

#

especially with more clutter etc.

manic sedge
#

the logic behind pressing buttons in raid is the complete same though

#

you're not gonna be able to carry yourself dps-wise if you can't deal dmg on bosses, which parses happen to be the best indicator of

worldly forge
#

DPS is often not the hard part about radiing

#

because it really often matter only in the top 50s

glad harness
#

Parsing is also a very good indicator of "how many mechanics can I ignore for my team to pick up the slack while I get good number"

worldly forge
#

Yes

#

Or who was able to pad more

#

Like on gally last season

#

if you had fury warriors and ret

worldly forge
#

You werent doing anyparse, because adds died in no time

manic sedge
#

idk I haven't gone wrong with the strat of inviting people with high parses so far

#

whenever I invite people with low ones they can't do what they're supposed to though

zealous halo
plush dune
glad harness
#

There is a high probability of gray parsers being in either echo or liquid at the time of both guilds first kill though

worldly forge
#

real

#

yeah i disagree with the take of parsing is a good indicator of "hurr durr they must ignore mechanics"

#

at least in heroic

:(

You almost had me fimbul, but I am baitresistant today

If you have a wr 200 on 2 day

#

he might be good garf_sit

2 days become 3 or 4

ember nest

just be safe with a top 30 7 day you know they cant do more

worldly forge
ember nest
#

when we day raided it didnt go well

stable bison
#

last time we took someone (this was back in colour) he came from a wr 160ish, failed trial with us, joined a much better guild and failed there too

ember nest
#

my hats toof to liquid/method echo etc

stable bison
#

very very good m+er tho

worldly forge
#

It was @zealous halo right !?

stable bison
#

never had the pleasure of raiding with zac, so unfortunately no

worldly forge
#

Zac only fails trials when he insists on playing outlaw

#

He is a gamer

worldly forge
#

Fortunately enough he isnt an OTP in Raid prog

#

Even tho he shamed me for not playing Outlaw on my Stream of Salhadaar prog ReallyMad

glad harness
worldly forge
#

I mean there are exceptions

#

We got some wr 1000+ people for our wr 400 Guild

#

Which were good

#

Just need to be lucky

tough swallow
#

this conversation isn't making me more confident about this decision our officers took

stable bison
#

tbf tho logs also kinda mean fuck all (as long as they arent like piss ofc)

#

when i still vetted players in the guilds ive been in i couldnt care less if the person is 80 avg or 100

tough swallow
#

well ^^

stable bison
#

its not what im remotely looking at

tough swallow
#

i am with you, but green in heroic is kinda not great

#

and thats giving him a fair chance because heroic logs ended up his best

stable bison
#

yeah id only be looking at mythic

manic sedge
#

what do recruiters look for

#

previous wr?

#

like do they check prog logs

stable bison
#

well alot of it is word of mouth

manic sedge
#

ya okay

stable bison
#

and then what i did was look at progress logs

rare solar
stable bison
#

not only kills but alot of deep pulls on a boss

manic sedge
tough swallow
#

tbh i can't rly say and if our other officers want to trail

#

why not

#

i just found it interesting/fun because stealthi's experience with m+ players

worldly forge
worldly forge
#

And everything else will be discussed in voice

#

WR and Ces

#

Someone who got consistent CEs for the last 6 Raids but has like 60-80 parses is more attractive, than someone with 4-6 Mythic but 80+ logs

#

for us

stable bison
#

once you get to a certain rank

#

you basically do not get in

#

unless you know people

#

and have a good rep

worldly forge
#

That sounds like top ranks

warm pagoda
#

At WR 1500 we look for people with a pulse

#

But we're flexible with that requirement

plush dune
stable bison
manic sedge
stable bison
#

like ofc there were chances on someone that knew 0

#

of us would get in

#

but they would be of similar wr as us

#

and be vetted by the people that play the same class

worldly forge
#

which is also a good catch

#

but they can have an Ego problem

manic sedge
worldly forge
#

Because they were star player and now they are mediorce

#

in the new environment and dont handle Becnhes well

#

(we had this several times now)

stable bison
#

so quite high class knowledge crammed into 1 guild

#

the glory days of the 2x sub OTP's

#

as the rogues in the guild

#

shit went hard

manic sedge
#

you know adds disappeared first global

stable bison
#

this was back in DF

#

so no sub burst

worldly forge
#

Ahh Gloomblade Gaming

#

my beloved

tough swallow
#

i mean, subtlety had a bit of burst

#

but ... ignorable

stable bison
tough swallow
#

push, stealthi, annsie

#

lovely seeing out subtlety buys

ember nest
#

we may not be a lot but we are there

zealous halo
#

Idk if it's cause I climbed ranks, or if player mentality evolved

#

But I feel like people care more about correct specs etc nowadays

#

Both in m+ and raid

#

Players are expected to play multiple specs and classes now

#

I don't think splits were as prevalent before aswell

glad harness
#

Alot of guilds having no business doing splits are doing splits because "thats what liquid does so it has to be good"

ember nest
#

doing splits is way easier now too

#

in our early days it took months to get chars ready

#

now it takes at most 1 week or 2

#

and you get the random boost for buying expansions

#

so since legion it has been quite easy to just have that 1 or 2 extra chars

stable bison
ember nest
#

also there is way less people

#

so the ones that are left gatekeep more

zealous halo
#

And I guess way more valuable than before

#

With tier sets

#

In SL we didn't have tier sets

worldly forge
#

We did this Too as wr400 guild and it saved as tries at araz which wasnt doable for US

#

So we used the time we wouldve spent on Boss we wouldnt kill like thst, to gear us

zealous halo
#

This tier was weird tho

glad harness
#

There are way too many W1000 guilds who dropped into RLE ahead of the tier asking for advice on splits

zealous halo
#

Araz wasn't doable by anyone

manic sedge
worldly forge
#

We also pushed are extra days back to end Boss prog

manic sedge
#

people insta invite arcane mages

tough swallow
worldly forge
#

Because we always Fell into Boss gets nerfed mid prog

zealous halo
#

I feel like m+ mentality had a draftic shift with Aug season

#

And for raid idk

ember nest
#

that will happen to us on dimensius

zealous halo
#

Just slowly happened

ember nest
#

likely it gets nerfed this or next week

tough swallow
#

also aura updater, why tf does every guild now want people to use auraupdater + liquid weakauras

ember nest
#

m+ just realised the power of buffs and other things

#

also many statistics pages popped up like mushrooms

zealous halo
#

Which is important

tough swallow
#

well its not

zealous halo
#

Since a lot of bosses are solved with assignments etc

#

Well it is for assignments

tough swallow
#

its a lot of maintainane effort for guilds

#

and most need to do that during raid hours

ember nest
#

it railroads people quite a bit

zealous halo
#

Ye well it's even worse when your players are tasked to maintain their weak aura themselves

#

And never do

tough swallow
#

so you sacrafice your raid hours for placebo confort

ember nest
#

but also makes things way easier

tough swallow
#

alaso

zealous halo
#

Idk I disagree with that

tough swallow
#

aura updater has what it feels like daily updates, sometimes 2 times a day

#

while i love people putting in effort

glad harness
tough swallow
#

yes

#

and you can be outdated even if you updated the day before

#

or even the same day too early

glad harness
#

Yes, thats why it should be done right before raid

tough swallow
#

it adds a lot of ovherhead and potential problems

zealous halo
#

It's just a press of a button tho

#

When people were just trying to maintain an updated weak aura version

tough swallow
#

you need to update the addon every time, because of how it works

zealous halo
#

You couldn't check if everyone was up to date

#

Always had a guy not doing it

#

Then you spend the night wiping on a weak aura

#

And no one knows

tough swallow
#

you know how it worked before

glad harness
#

It 100% beats troubleshooting weakauras midraid

tough swallow
#

you just had bos mods ^^

zealous halo
#

Right know your raid leader open the window and sees if everyone is on the same version it's way better

#

And it's then easier to update

tough swallow
#

its just 100% more complicated for little gain

stable bison
ember nest
#

bosses are quite more complicated now sadly

zealous halo
#

I agree tho I don't necessarily like all the weak aura bullshit

ember nest
#

but also you could query lots more shit

glad harness
ember nest
#

remember achimonde with exorsus?

zealous halo
#

But stuffs like the liquid updater is just better idk

ember nest
#

literally 10x or 20x easier

#

so you could let people brain afk a bit more

warm pagoda
worldly forge
tough swallow
warm pagoda
#

Still some fuckery

#

But less

ember nest
zealous halo
ember nest
#

and making things private etc

tough swallow
#

the reaon weakauras won is because you can share them faster

zealous halo
#

Which make sense tho, weak aura is just kinda running scripts that Yoh can edit in runtime

tough swallow
#

with addons

glad harness
#

This has to be bait

zealous halo
#

It'd easier to make tho

glad harness
#

Im not falling for it.

zealous halo
#

A weak aura

#

Even tho in the end it's the same shit

tough swallow
#

you need to update the addon, then upload the update, wait for it to progress and then have everyone start their addon updater

stable bison
zealous halo
#

I mean they could

tough swallow
#

with weakauras you can just share it in chat and have everyone download

glad harness
#

Waiting for bigwigs to solve neltharion radar

tough swallow
#

XD

stable bison
#

hell nah

tough swallow
#

fun fact

zealous halo
#

Everything you can do with weak aura you can do in an addon tho

#

It's just harder

tough swallow
#

exorsus raid tools used to be just that

#

^^

zealous halo
#

Which is why people don't do it

manic sedge
#

what's aura updater

#

weakaura companion?

ember nest
#

yea the exorsus guy was goated

stable bison
# manic sedge what's aura updater

addon that helps you stay up to date with the latest raid WA for stuff getting fixed etc and shows if everybody is on the same version or not

manic sedge
#

so octopals verifier client, just addon instead of weakaura?

tough swallow
#

also a way to share paid weakaura sets in a controlled way

#

so you can easier avoid leaks

#

its a over engineered solution for a self created problem ^^

ember nest
#

well this kind of things used to exist from way back they are now just available to anyone

stable bison
#

saves us time on prog, so ill take it

ember nest
#

the NS guy was actually surprised so many people were interested in the WAs he made for his guild

#

then it went kinda more popular

#

paragon and other guilds used to also have cool addons

#

and of course the most notable being exorsus and method

tough swallow
#

the benefits of exsorsus raid tools was

#

i don't remember a time where you had to update it or it would not function

#

so having it installed was basically a guarantee to have the what is now a weakaura

#

also the performance overhead was practically non existence

#

while we now happily trade off 10+ fps for a raid weakaura set

tough swallow
#

the weakaura sets are

#

so you pay a monthly fee

stable bison
tough swallow
#

then you get a string you put in that unlocks your access to the weakaura set via a specific wow addon update client

#

this circumvents the eula, which strictly forbits sold addons

#

because aura updater only acts as a middle man, its a very gray area

#

but selling weakauras or plater/elvui strings is similar and commonly done for a long time now

stable bison
# manic sedge wait it's paid?

it basically just gives you access to their WA's during the race with live updates when they fix shit. but as i said the WA's gets given out on wago after the race is over
saves guilds quite alot of time with the constant fixes to WA's that assign certain shit

manic sedge
#

is it just 1 person or is it the entire raid team

#

that needs to pay

stable bison
#

1 person in the guild just has to pay

manic sedge
#

hmmm might suggest it to gm

fringe umbra
#

So people see whats best in keys at the start of the season, and then because people rolled to it blizzard wont change it to upset the fotm rerollers and its just a loop that reinforces itself

#

Its not a coincidence that the most diverse metas are the ones where theres tuning going on during the season

tough swallow
#

to be fair they did 2 very insane buffs this season to warrior and hunter

#

especially the hunter buffs ended up impacting meta

fringe umbra
#

Yeah but hunter was already good and played

ember nest
#

warrior got buff + some extra mechanic

#

making slayer thingy work well

tough swallow
ember nest
#

i find funny how they completely curbstomped frost

#

then killed unholy and buffed frost again

#

what an expansion for dk

#

pendulum ass game kinda

#

maybe arcane had that too

fringe umbra
#

But stuff like the fury buff should happen every single tuning patch imo

#

Right now theres no point to not fotm reroll since the change your spec gets buffed enough to be strong is close to 0 (or the fotm spec gets nerfed)

tough swallow
#

tbh i think tuning in general did more recently reward you for fotm more than in older xpacs

#

unsure what people like more, i personally like more frequent changes

mellow pilot
fringe umbra
#

The bugfix, but it doesnt really matter the exact reason

#

Just tuning with regards to m+

mellow pilot
#

Yeah the bug fix just threw warriors thru the fucking roof

#

Reap the storms is now top DMG in any AoE Pull basically

warm pagoda
#

I was expecting something announced tuning wise for 11.2.5, but so far nothing. Usually there's more notice it feels like

mellow pilot
#

Reap the storms in AoE procs basically every gcd with the bug fix

#

It's really good

manic sedge
#

I don’t like the fact that you pretty much ignore BT now, but you can’t have it all

mellow pilot
#

S2 you only cared about bt when the WA flashed anyway

#

For the 100% crit

manic sedge
#

I’m a chunky bloodthirst enjoyer

#

Well on aoe you also pressed it

ember nest
#

i like arms more

#

a bit sad it is not as good

#

jugg should not have a cap on stacks

#

smh

manic sedge
ember nest
#

yea execute has been gutted so many times

sharp nest
#

what would you say is the difficulty ranking/order between these 5: heroic raids, mythic +13, mythic+10, normal raids, mythic +7? Just your best guess

mellow pilot
#

From harder to easier:

  • +7
  • +13
  • heroic raid
  • +10
  • normal raid
#

Assuming pugs

sharp nest
#

+7 hardest due to less experienced and maybe undergeared players?

mellow pilot
#

Yes

woeful geyser
#

if something is overtuned, at this point you can just play it and dont care, cus they just dont touch it lol

sharp nest
#

just want a rough idea what are the closest difficulty levels between raids and dungeons

woeful geyser
#

well, +7 is where you have undergeared alts that just reached max level 1hour ago or alts that didnt get touched since the last season

or players that reached their skillcap in +7, which somewhat translates into "not a very good player"

#

and thats a deadly combination

#

on one hand you have a guy that pulls 5 packs on his 680 tank and dies

#

and on the other hand you have people that play one button rotation or move their character with the arrow keys

long ice
#

yeah that short was mind-blowing

#

seeing his key setup

manic sedge
#

I respect it

mellow pilot
#

A CS player uses his feet, doesn't mean everyone should do it xD

woeful geyser
#

idk who Kira is, and honestly dont care aswell

you know what i meant with that lol

manic sedge
#

yes you were saying that all players that use arrow keys are bad :^)

zealous halo
#

you dont know who kira is ?

manic sedge
woeful geyser
zealous halo
#

thats crazy no ?

stable bison
#

why would he, if he isnt remotely in the m+ space?

zealous halo
#

sure

mellow pilot
#

It's a tank, big one afaik

stable bison
#

with some funny takes

mellow pilot

Like 15% takes

woeful geyser

if you are remotely interested by m+

just remotely tho

Good for him, hope he enjoys wow retirement though (if that was the case)

faint bough
stable bison
hidden compass
#

Mmm makes sense

fringe umbra
#

Our GM quit too sadge

#

Officers still holding it together for now though, so no panic

stable bison
manic sedge
#

just too many logistics to keep track of for mythic raiding

#

can't imagine the amount of work to be an officer in high wr guilds

fringe umbra
#

Our GM went hard as fuck this tier, thats part of the reason we had like +30 WR higher than usual, but then he unsurprisingly felt burnt out afterwards

#

It is what it is

#

Or -30, whatever, 30 ranks better

manic sedge
#

I personally would love if 10 man mythic became a thing

#

not for HoF though

analog acorn
long ice
#

I wouldn't mind flex mythic

manic sedge
#

still would love it

#

and know a lot of people who would love it

woeful geyser
#

same for @manic sedge btw dracthyr_kek

#

like, you guys realise that balancing mythic without a set amount of players is literally impossible and will result in it being either a joke or borderline impossible, depeending on the fights

#
  • some classes would never see a raid from the inside ever again, we literally have more then 10 classes in the game
mild wasp
#

i think this season's mythic tuning was spot-on, it'd be a shame to ruin that

#

just rework the other difficulties imo

#

story mode is the perfect opportunity to make a full version of the raid for 1-5 players that gets filled with bots

#

and you get cosmetic-only lfr transmog

#

then you just make the other difficulties all be a little harder

#

and guilds that want to do harder content but can't beat roster boss have something to do

manic sedge
woeful geyser
#

like, there was a reason why 10man was removed

#

and its not "blizz hates fun" or smth like that

meager totem
#

mythic has been 20man for over 10 years now, maybe its time to accept its staying like that just because another solution would be better for you

manic sedge
#

but... I'm not saying that I don't accept it lol

woeful geyser
#

it would help more if they would make the entry point for mythic raiding more easy

aka changing how lockouts work, trying to make the difficuly curve smoother and stuff

manic sedge
#

there's just the obvious issue of how hard it is to organize something to work for 20 people

meager totem
#

the lockout for mythic has been a hot topic for a long time and there probably exists a solution where it could be better just not sure personally myself what that is

manic sedge
#

and if even high wr guilds are disbanding because of it, imagine the low world ranks

meager totem
#

but mythic flex or 10 man are just straight up worse

#

guilds disband all the time man, its not always because of anything having to do with 20 people

woeful geyser
#

mythic flex or 10man mythic is one of those things where people think it WOULD be good, and if you think about it for more then 20seconds it falls appart

#

also doesnt help that 10man mythic is very often said by people that never did mythic raids in the first place because they are not good enough, and blame the 20man requirment for that

#

like, just the class stuff would be giga fucked

#

and the stuff people would have to do

manic sedge
#

idk I think that adds to it

woeful geyser
#

current raid desing with 10man? oof

#

have fun gearing 3-4 characters

#

so you can swap to whats good and requiered for a specific fight

#

instead of playing the thing you wanna play

manic sedge
#

ye obv design philosophy would have to change in regards to raid

stoic lake
woeful geyser
#

how can you change it

#

remove all stuff that needs class special things?

#

what even exists at that point

#

like, cant make fights require warlock gates anymore? or knockbacks?

#

that would be so much worse and make fights immediatly worse in every way + HARDCORE fuck over some classes lol

stable bison
#

Imagine ever playing something Else than your one trick

manic sedge
#

idk I think it's fine with every class not having specific util and just bringing dmg

#

you would still have flex raid spots

woeful geyser
#

wdym flex raidspots

it would be "stack as many ranged dps as possible+ a DH" cus of arcane int and chaos brand

manic sedge
#

like hunter, rogue, priest, paladin and evoker kinda don't bring anything

stable bison
#

Priest is ehm

woeful geyser
#

in what world does evoker not bring anything

manic sedge
#

in terms of absolute must have raid buffs

#

or util

stable bison
#

The increased Max hp is insane

woeful geyser
#

time spiral? time dilation? carry people around?

haughty spear
woeful geyser
#

evoker is bonkers with utility lol

manic sedge
#

ya but we're not talking world first raiders

meager totem
#

hunter and rogue are definetly not even close to mandatory

manic sedge
#

we're talking entrance level mythic raid

stable bison
#

Then nothing is

meager totem
#

and obviously in some imaginary 10man mythic world the buffs would probably notstay as how they are

woeful geyser
#

or "reset everyones main movement cd"

manic sedge
#

idk who you're arguing against. That's not even what I said xd

#

obviously they all bring something, but they're not mandatory in the same way literally all the other classes I didn't mention are

woeful geyser
#

bro sorry, but thinking Evoker is not "mandatory" like some other classes kinda shows that you dont even know how important or unimportant some stuff is lol (same with priest, the stamina buff is very important for a long time lol)

#

its one of the classes that could get some stuff removed because of how overloaded it is with important utility dracthyr_kek

manic sedge
#

wanna bet there are CEs at the end of this season that are missing one of each of these

meager totem
#

do you think thats actually proving your point or

manic sedge
#

and again - I'm not saying 10 man mythic should be the optimal mythic raid, but it could easily become an option for lower wr players

meager totem
#

I played without windfury totem for idk how long

most people did, enh gained alot of popularity from like end of SL

tbf I probably wouldn't set foot in mythic raid if it wasn't because I needed to kill certain bosses to use dinars on their stuff

and even then it was partywide so just depends what your guild had

I kinda just want to queue keys

then do that?

My idea of how to implement mythic flex raid sizes: first have the hall of fame fill up. Then open raid size on mythic for everyone who has curve. I expect a full battle.net balance from Blizzard for this idea. Thanks for listening.

So it's hard to really say just from a picture of the vault.

#

My daggers're at 642 & my chest is at 655

warm pagoda
meager totem
#

you can craft a dagger with the crest from campaign even if you cant do high lvl delves yet

#

think weapon if its not mythic ilvl should be pretty low prio

warm pagoda
#

So like, you run a delve, you get a champ tier chest, you can catalyse that.

#

And yeah, if you run the K'aresh story you'll get a runed crest which would give you a 704? (I may be wrong on the ilvl here) dagger

lavish otter
deep rose
#

Thank you both!
So I sorta can't go wrong with either? I can just craft whichever I don't get?

warm pagoda
#

But you can catalyse a tier piece. So you get a champion track non-tier piece, you catalyse it, you get champ tier.

deep rose
#

Ahh, okay. Where would I check the mats for that?

trail aurora
# lavish otter What about sub and assassin??

Sub's main thing is cooldown alignment which you could probably do fine with the built in cooldown manager. Assassination is probably the friendliest spec overall to play and the one least hurt by not having WAs, but I'm open to correction.

warm pagoda
#

(Make sure its the everforged stabber and NOT the everforged dagger)

#

The everforged dagger is the int version

Alrighty - thanks a ton again. I'll look at what I have. ❤️

Most of the time casters go for offhand or staff yeah

hearty fog
#

if i were you though and this was brand new

#

i'd take the chest

#

and craft a dagger

#

if you do the campaign

#

you get a free crest to craft a piece of gear at 704

#

which then can be recrafted later to 720

#

Does anyone know the recommended ilvl before starting m+?

meager totem
#

maybe like 670-680? the problem with low level m+ keys is that you will find players of very wide skill degrees

#

and those things are more important there than ilvl

#

like yeah a group of 5 680 people can easily time a 10, but you can also get higher ilvl than that without ever stepping into a key so its just a community thing mostly

For unlocking legion artifact weapon appearances, is it one unlock per "category" for all classes? Like if you do the balance of power quest line on a rogue, and get the artifact for druid, will those forms be unlocked as well or is it per character basis

how do you solve the lack of logs?

there would be an incentive to log keys anyway

currently there's really no incentive

# lost shard Same for mythic+?

For m+ sin is very different to raid sin
Sub and outlaw are more similar from raid to m+ imo, but they have a higher barrier to entry
Sin plays DoT management in M+, in raid its a burst spec similar to sub for most fights id say

lost shard

there isnt one

it depends on what you like

the actual best beginner specs are most likely BM hunter, Ret pala and Frost DK

No it won't

#

The vast, vast majority of people do not use Weakauras

wicked night
#

and the vast, vast majority of the top end do

#

so 'kill the game' is a personal thing

#

for me and my friend group

#

i dont care about the dude farming mounts from 15 years ago

#

has 0 impact

noble kestrel
#

Damn, rip to you I guess

wicked night
#

also I suspect that the majority of token buyers are top end players too

static epoch
#

it is indeed a risky move
don't think it'll kill the game, but it can shoot the game in the foot if the tracker turns out to be subpar

noble kestrel
#

I don't think it matters since the fundamental nature of the game is changing. Like, you wouldn't be using WA's in content anyway.

wicked night
#

If i can't use weakauras and there isnt a VERY very good alternative day1, I will prob use it as the spring board to finally go elsewhere tbh

#

you would?

#

WAs are needed for rotation/tracking etc

static epoch
#

WAs are used for very basic things for most of their users

#

you track debuffs and buffs with them

#

like not even external shit, just your own stuff

wicked night
#

WAs are even needed for like.. hiding ui elements when you go into pet battles

noble kestrel
#

The only WA's I use was my custom made class stuff that i'll swap out for the Blizz ones when they go live.

wicked night
#

game dies without weakaura for so many people, the most casual people I know in disocrds are outright saying this is bad and they are like.. pet collectors etc

noble kestrel
#

It's not going to impact the game at all

wicked night
#

youre delusional

#

if you think it wont lol

#

it has 1m+ users

#

no RCLoot council either lol with the current changes

noble kestrel
#

You should look at the other changes coming in Midnight and why they won't really be needed or useful anymore.

#

To say "It's going to kill the game" is such absolute delusional nonsense that's completely out of touch with reality

wicked night
#

time will tell, when raids cant do MRT or loot council or loot.. watch people moan and leave and slowly die

#

i have looked at other changes in midnight, the xpac is barely even an expansion

#

its kind of boring lol

#

the combat WA can be replaced but that doesnt mean people will like being forced into something when they have been used to a certain WA or 'view' for the last 15 years

noble kestrel
#

I don't think anybody is using the same WA for the last 15 years

wicked night
#

I bet you they are

noble kestrel
#

Damn, they must be having a terrible time with such outdated weakauras

wicked night
#

I can ping someone right now that has been using it for 15 years and has lots of people using it now from the updates of it

#

@noble kestrel

noble kestrel
#

hell yeah

wicked night
#

the new sets in the store make me laugh, it shows the beard etc in the 'hood'

noble kestrel
#

We agree that this is starting out excessively broad, and we’re going to make changes to only apply the new logic while there is an active raid encounter or M+ run underway. Our goal will be to make it so that tools that facilitate sharing information before or after combat won’t be impacted.

And we’ll update our Alpha development notes when the above is implemented.```
noble kestrel
#

Yes it does

#

Our goal will be to make it so that tools that facilitate sharing information before or after combat won’t be impacted.

tough swallow
#

yes

noble kestrel
#

So most of the complaints are not moot. Loot council addons will work, pull / break timers, etc.

tough swallow
#

was that something people ended up concerned about

noble kestrel
#

Yeah

tough swallow
#

it always sounded like out of combat, everything works as usual

#

from what was mentioned

noble kestrel
#

Nah, they were initially blocking eveything in instances 'cos they're starting as restrictive a sposible and teasing it back

#

But within a day we're already seeing them responding well, and adjusting to support the biggest concerns. Which is good

tough swallow
#

i was not concerned to lose loot council

#

tbh

noble kestrel
#

Same

#

I was mildly annoyed to lose timer functionality so that's good. And losing RP addons in instances means I can't read funny profiles which is awful

#

But ultimately, to me, it's all very minor.

tough swallow
#

so i would say its a fairly minor concern

#

not the biggest

Where are the rogue youtubers explaining while they play? I want to see rogue Midnight alpha gameplay 🙁

and there is only level content currently

so not much to "watch"

unless you are into leveling content

candid rapids
#

So has rogue been hit with the pruning ?

tough swallow
#

first impression for the 3 specs:

  • Assassiantion: Simpler but overall good changes
  • Outlaw: Good changes, hard to predict complexity
  • Subtlety: Extremely bad, but also incomplete
#

tho you might want to ask a long term player for more details on assassiantion/outlaw

#

because i mainly play subtlety, and the changes just make wait for the next iteration before judging

candid rapids
#

Ty a lot for the info!!! I main sub so... sad 🙁

tough swallow
#

are the channels for discussion around these

candid rapids
#

Hope they fix it then 💀

tough swallow
#

subtlety from current implementation is:

  • 2x dance + cooldowns every 90 sec
  • afk for 74 sec
#

which is not that exciting

#

but apex talents are missing and additional hero talents are
