Id prob like DH if i took the time to learn it, but practicing it feels like im on adderal

round pendant
#

DH is the most wack feeling class in the game

proper roost
#

yea, that used to be a thing in legion iirc

#

the following cons

#

but it was also way less impactful in general anyway compared to current cons

modern gazelle
#

i like frost dk a lot, but just not enough to take over warrior atm and i never tried blood dk

round pendant
#

That's probably the true reason I don't like paladin anymore, I mained it in legion and prob had that glyph then. I just don't remember shit from back then

proper roost
#

i dont rly think you can complain about current cons tbh. go play bdk with its positional requirements then bitch

round pendant
#

You can not like both!

proper roost
#

compared to that cons is baby easy mode

crude notch
#

I can complain about both

#

Consecration and d n d need to remain static areas. They’re not auras or presences

crude notch
#

LMAO

proper roost
#

no, having position req is kinda not that bad

#

sorta

#

depends

crude notch
#

For damage sure

#

I'm fine with it being tied to damage

#

Not so much defensively

proper roost
#

i mean its also tied to defensive for bdk idk

crude notch
#

Yes

round pendant
#

It just feels bad

toxic pewter
#

So what

crude notch
#

We were talking about paladins though

#

So I'm not going to include DND

round pendant
toxic pewter
#

I like them remaining static personally

proper roost
#

i just dont think cons is that bad, wanting to plant somewhere is ok, its very lenient size, its extremely lenient cd

modern gazelle
#

What do you guys think they would have to get rid of on warrior to give us more team utility?

toxic pewter
#

Like I said they’re not auras or presences

round pendant

They should either

  1. be an aura
  2. be off gcd

prot can even freely take intervene a lot of the time

tho its not super useful this season but

Oh God Choco agrees with me, maybe I'm on the wrong side

speaking of intervene i think it should be baseline and safeguard is the talent

Just more proof of what wow has become.. for shame

i dont really think dps warrior should really have intervene idk

The glyph for consecrate is older than dirt so that's a dumb ass perspective

Yea and blizzard rightfully corrected their wrong

Please cease speaking

#

consecrate was probably cool in classic, when you could afk in fights because it's basically runescape

toxic pewter
#

Just telling it like it is. Consecrating ground as holy ground is a static and correct design choice. Same with d n d stretching back to wc3

south zealot

i farm downvotes on reddit

We're not playing wc3 you putz

Yah no shit

very halfbaked and lazy, theres more design space there imo

I’m not baiting just telling the truth

proper roost
#

and hotr is super boring

ALSO personally I think tanks bringing their death and decay or consecration where they walk is a fucking SICK idea

like just from a class fantasy perspective

Blessed Hammer should bounce off walls

theres a d3 legendary that procs bh off BH hits

I keep trying to play a third but i can barely log on 2 characters

idk why you would ever choose to play bear

i used to love bear, wasn't feeling it when i went to level it this xpac though

I unironically don't feel any different about tanks

Hmmmm warrior and monk are my top two I’m fairly confident about, picking a 3rd is tough it kinda changes for me

south zealot
modern gazelle

I never used to tank raids, but has it changed? I feel like raid tanking is so simplified like you barely have to think

Prot war raid is fun you care fuck all about everything happening and just smash SS keybind at light speed

Peak dopamine

south zealot
daring marlin
#

The two charge talent helps some with DnD but yeah

round pendant
#

I really can't stand having bad mobility

chilly brook
#

You keep your bone charges above 5, and then you basically want to pool for damage before it happens

proper roost
#

if shattering bone wasnt like all ur damage and tied to dnd and dnd uptime required procs

#

it would be a big deal

round pendant
#

also yeah prot war is good in raid

dusky canopy
#

Any class tied to a small area on the ground is just bad

chilly brook
dusky canopy
#

Hate all of that play style

round pendant
#

you just feel like a dps player who's also getting dps'd

proper roost
#

i mean tbf dnd is very big

chilly brook

And it’s not like the biggest of things

daring marlin

Cons is a non factor, it may as well not have a CD.

chilly brook

As in the most important

daring marlin

It's incredibly short

But it’s not hard to stay in it

It still takes a gcd to cast

It’s far less limiting than paladins consecration

proper roost
#

Sheesh!!!

chilly brook
#

And it has good interaction with your kit

dusky canopy
south zealot
#

blood dk gcds are the most valuable in the game and having to use one on dnd every 15 seconds is bad

chilly brook
#

Wdym having to?

dusky canopy
#

Death strike should refresh existing DND

I should try udk again, maybe I should try to be less dismissive so soon

It’s quite valuable to press the button

round pendant

but idk

It’s not like it’s a waste

its really good which means you have to use it

chilly brook

It giga pumps your RP generation

modern gazelle
crude notch
#

I think Brew has the smoothest rotation.
I think PPal utility is sick.
I think Blood feels unstoppable when played right.
I think PWar has the meatest buttons to press.
I think Bear is fuzzy and psychopath CD.
I think VDH has sickest mobility.

south zealot
#

i would be perfectly content if bloods dnd was only for grip of the dead slow

proper roost
#

i dont think i agree with feeling like dnd is bad to press

south zealot
#

and didnt cleave heartstrikes and shattering bones wasnt a thing

proper roost
#

it feels kinda good to press, its just kinda shitty that the cd doesnt match for 100% uptime

round pendant
#

It feels good to press, feels absolutely soul crushing having to move out of it

dusky canopy
#

For me BDK is just slow that’s why I don’t like it

#

The living everything part is cool

proper roost
#

you get used to the speed

chilly brook
#

People overstate how slow dk is

modern gazelle
chilly brook
#

It’s actually pretty mobile tbh

proper roost
#

its not a huge deal tbh deaths advance baseline is really huge

chilly brook
#

Was more mobile than old paladin

dusky canopy
#

I mean Ive played it

south zealot
proper roost
#

yeh i mean idk I lived with no deaths advance bdk for a really long time lmao

crude notch
#

Saying it's more mobile than the slowest spec ever is not an argument

proper roost
#

the only kinda awkward thing is if u have no bone shield and need to mount into a pack

#

youre kinda praying you dont get whacked

dusky canopy
#

Yeah that part bites

modern gazelle
#

was pally slower than warrior in classic?

south zealot
#

i think bdk being a juggernaut is cool

south zealot
#

i dont mind its slow

chilly brook
#

Just deaths caress at the least

proper roost
#

well i mean u just drw the pull yeah but can be sorta awkward for initial threat

crude notch
#

Like it doesn't compete with PWar, VDH, or Monk in mobility so if you're used to playing those at all, BDK is undoubtedly a slog

chilly brook
#

Or pop dancing and get an instant 5

proper roost
#

compared to other tanks who can insta aoe threat (not vdh lmao)

crude notch
#

Bring back old bone shield

dusky canopy
#

For me honestly I think I just enjoy button mashing specs

#

BDK is more well planned button presses

proper roost
#

the bone shield thing isnt actually a big deal anymore, iirc it used to be 30s duration

#

so that is real pain

crude notch
#

No when I say old bone shield I mean it's own button

#

Lol

proper roost
#

and u can mount in almost every key now, or the ones you cant have real density

modern gazelle

oh

well this is awkward

i've never talked about you guys behind your backs because I immediately purge discord from my mind when I'm not at work

I don't talk about any of you because I don't care about any of you enough to talk about you

#

Do you guys not like master loot? A good system with master loot always felt nice

round pendant
#

It's nice if you're friends with the loot master :)

#

or if they're actually good at their job and aren't so biased

modern gazelle
#

Sign up ahead on what pieces you want to roll on, get 2-3 and no one else can roll on them if they didn’t sign up

crude notch
#

Master loot works perfect if your knees are good

proper roost
#

just be the best player in your raid and loot council owns (not ironic)

round pendant
#

Yeah

south zealot
#

in an ideal and fair situation a masterloot is the best

proper roost
#

also dont be a tank or a healer

south zealot
#

in a pug/casual guild personal loot is better

proper roost
#

for obvious reasons

south zealot
modern gazelle
#

I never had issues with a spreadsheet for sign ups with master loot. Always felt fair

crude notch
#

What's a casual guild?

Anything lower than me is casual anything above me is tryhard

proper roost
#

or be in a very casual guild that thinks gearing tanks and healers owns, sometimes those exist but also highly unlikely those are MLing

#

i doubt u can call any guild that uses ML casual tbh

modern gazelle
#

Casual I’d say is raid once a week on normal and prog heroic MAYBE

proper roost
#

they are kinda tryharding a bit if theyre MLing

south zealot
round pendant
#

My guild killed Mythic Ursoc and then fell apart lmfao, definitely not hardcore and we used ML

south zealot
#

with exceptions ofc

crude notch
#

So Liquid is a casual guild?

south zealot
#

not necessarily can just be to improve skill too

crude notch
#

R1 baby

modern gazelle
#

Anyone clearing heroic isn’t casual even if you can easily clear mythic just going off general population it’s clear casual isn’t above normal

round pendant
south zealot
modern gazelle
#

Most CASUAL guilds won’t get AOTC

crude notch
#

Sounding like no agreeance this goes in the

  • hard boss fights
  • high keys
round pendant
#

guilds are worse than pugs?

#

how is that even possible

modern gazelle
#

Tbh yea lol

round pendant
#

unless they're literally not raiding

crude notch
#

There's plenty that are

modern gazelle
#

Pugs are pretty selective most of the time

round pendant
#

Saying that. I got booted out of a guild run cause I died on a boss. I went and cleared more with a pug group and then I checked that guilds prog a few days later and they never got past the boss they booted me on

#

Felt kinda satisfying ngl

crude notch
#

There's plenty of guilds that raid multiple nights a week that are worse than pugs

modern gazelle
#

Yeah I’ve been in guilds that couldn’t get 10 people on when it was meant to be a raiding guild

crude notch
#

Bubble living be damned most people don't even clear heroic in this game

south zealot
round pendant
#

Yeah like my friends guild who couldn't kill Heroic Eranog heheh

proper roost
#

well tbf if ur gonna say most players, I doubt most wow players actually raid

south zealot
#

whenever i joined those guild group pugs it was always a good time

as in a straight majority of active accounts

True casuals are scared to do m0 dungeons

south zealot
#

dont make mistakes nerd

#

i never do

round pendant
#

It makes no sense how they'd boot me for one mistake meanwhile be unable to clear it themselves (probably cause they're all making tons of mistakes)

south zealot
#

(dont ask about rashok or zskarn)

round pendant
#

It's just because I'm not IN with them

proper roost
#

i'd be kinda curious what % of people that have the normal aberrus achiev also have aotc though. that could be an interesting statistic

crude notch
south zealot

theres a couple websites

proper roost

why would I when I could just ask the stat person

@crude notch stats please

LMAO

There's plenty of embarrassing shit I've done in my logs

i might be wrong

round pendant

like dying to flaming slash

and earthen crush

or whatever it's called

modern gazelle
#

Do people still goblin in this game? Feel like with the AH changes it’s way harder to make millions like you could before

round pendant
#

Pretty sure they do

#

Money making seems so sad in this game nowadays tho, gotta play for 12 hours a day to afford a token

#

unless it's fresh new content where the ores are worth like 1k each

#

I'm still sustaining off of the 400k or so I made in the first month

daring marlin
#

I need to do keys tonight to bump my dks ilvl

modern gazelle

Feel like the only good money maker is just Carrie’s

daring marlin

That way I can pug lolroic

round pendant

I used to sell key boosts in legion, was big money

daring marlin

422 should be enough but alas

waxen frigate

Yall don’t know about the crafting cartels?

proper roost

AH goblin will always generate much more gold than selling carries, just have to do it right. it just snowballs much harder than carries

I sound like I’m shitposting but I’m not

@proper roost

Just based on logs:
12,411 Guilds have killed N Kazz.
11,565 Guilds have killed N Sark.

11,850 Guilds have killed H Kazz.
8,604 Guilds have killed H Sark.

4636 Guilds have killed M Kazz.
306 Guilds have killed M Sark

modern gazelle
#

I just wonder what they are doing with the AH cause it’s so shit for selling now

#

Can’t really do a lot of the old tricks

crude notch
waxen frigate
#

There are people who do nothing but the auction house

#

That is the game for them

south zealot
#

no shot only 306 have killed sark

#

seems fake

waxen frigate

waxen frigate
#

HoF closed 3 days ago

proper roost
#

those are interesting stats

I wonder how many nonguild raids happen tho

south zealot
#

i thought i remember seeing 340 like last week

waxen frigate
#

Wait 10 days ago

crude notch
#

It's 321 according to R.IO. But if you look at my opening caveat

#

"BASED ON LOGS"

#

So private logging wouldn't show up

south zealot
#

i dont reed

#

read

proper roost
#

do you whistle?

#

Heck too slow

south zealot
#

lol

#

next time

waxen frigate
modern gazelle
#

Interesting that N sark and H kaz numbers are comparable but H saei and M kaz aren’t. Likely due to the player requirement

south zealot
#

based on dn

proper roost
#

thats pretty normal

crude notch
proper roost
#

mythic raid population just isnt that high

#

organized raiding with 20 always is much harder to put together than 10 friends who aotc

waxen frigate
south zealot
round pendant
#

Pugs can usually get a couple mythic bosses down for their vault

modern gazelle
#

I just think without the player requirements more guilds would try to clear first few mythic at least

round pendant
#

so that's most of those kazz kills

modern gazelle
#

If you can clear H dark you can do M kazz

crude notch
#

There's a lot of guilds stuck on M Experiments.

round pendant
crude notch
#

Okay idk about calling anyone doing mythic sweaty

south zealot
proper roost
#

yeah I sweat a normal amount and not excessively

#

Rude

round pendant
#

People would happily bang their head against the wall in pugs for weeks if you could actually pug it

round pendant
south zealot
#

i did 100 pulls on heroic rasz in pugs

round pendant
#

I forget how many pulls it took me

proper roost
#

Powerful

crude notch
#

You can pug mythic

#

Mythic Kazz is a joke

waxen frigate
round pendant
#

You can't pug the entire raid

south zealot
#

yeah i had fun

round pendant
#

Theoretically you can pug the entire raid

#

In practice you can't

waxen frigate
#

Theoretically pugs cant breathe properly

crude notch
#

In practice you can most certainly down 3/9

round pendant
#

Quite far off "the entire raid"

crude notch
#

Who said anything about the entire raid

round pendant
#

I should have specified that I meant "attempt to clear mythic" rather than just getting some mythic kills

south zealot
#

you shouldnt be able to pug ce

sick sentinel
#

last place conirm

crude notch
#

I don't think you should be allowed to pug full mythic

#

that's idiotic

sick sentinel
#

its over boys

crude notch
#

Anyone that thinks that should seek immediate help

south zealot
#

yes mythic needs to remain difficult

#

common jordan W

round pendant
#

Bruh, heroic raz wasn't even a hard fight and it still took pugs forever to get kills on it consistently

south zealot
#

yes it was a hard fight

modern gazelle
round pendant
#

Do you really think just because you COULD attempt mythic bosses in pugs that would mean everyone and their grans getting CE?

proper roost
#

idk if someone who hasnt actually raided mythic in a bit's opinion on how mythic raid should be is super relevant to be perfectly honest with u

south zealot
#

for a heroic boss it was hard

sick sentinel
#

pugging mythic raid is instruction a monkey to do a james bond mission where he paraglides on a train, clears it and difuses a bomb

proper roost
#

its kind of ok that mythic raid is kind of restrictive, theres plenty of other skillcheck content to do

sick sentinel
#

it will just never work

modern gazelle
#

The only issue I have with mythic is how hard it is to get 20 people together

round pendant
#

my point was just that's why the majority of the playerbase doesn't play mythic, because they literally can't

modern gazelle
#

Like that’s such a high barrier of entry

sick sentinel
#

i was playing that iron dock dungeon today in timewalking and its all i can think about now

proper roost
round pendant
crude notch
#

I think the gate is more what dawn is saying than them just flat out not being able to

round pendant
#

:(

modern gazelle
#

Idc if the raid is impossible so long as I can attempt it. But finding 20 people who can log the same time and prog mythic is aids

proper roost
#

how do even respond to this. theres many good reasons m raid size is restrictive lol

modern gazelle
#

Let alone being a tank and you only have 2 slots available

south zealot
#

varying mythic raid size is bad

crude notch
#

Yeah it shouldn't be flex

modern gazelle
#

I don’t want flex

south zealot
#

you csnt balance every number of players equally

sick sentinel
#

huge battle sizes work in battlefield, where its supposed to be chaotic as hell and everyones randomly dying to stupid stuff

modern gazelle
#

But that’s why I like the idea of 10 man raid balance

sick sentinel
#

doesn't work so well when you got rpg rotations

modern gazelle
#

It would allow more people to attempt mythic without having to take away from it being hard

crude notch
#

I don't think 10 is the appropriate number either though. I think 15 is the sweet spot, don't at me.

modern gazelle
#

Flex mythic is def bad though

round pendant
south zealot
#

feel like 10 is too low

modern gazelle
proper roost
#

ye 15m is goated

#

but prob wont ever happen

south zealot
#

im perfectly fine with it being 20

#

especially with how many raid buffs and shit u need

proper roost
#

less people always just too much risk of too easy to coordinate

modern gazelle
#

Idc what it is but 20 is rough. Especially as a tank trying to find a spot. Just sucks :/ skill wise I’m sure I could handle it. But the barrier of entry to get into a raid is impossible lol

round pendant
#

there's still only 2 tanks regardless of the number of people tho?

crude notch
#

It would increase the number of CE, imo. Exposing more people to Mythic raiding could actually have quite the positive impact of getting people realizing it's something they enjoy.

modern gazelle
#

Yes, but 10 people means 4 tanks for 20 people

crude notch
modern gazelle
#

So you double how many tanks are needed

round pendant
sick sentinel
#

like, what if there is a raid LFR you can qeue into from lvl 20-40 and its just like an extremely basic raid with not alot of threats going on

#

and its only good loot for those players

crude notch
#

I'm fine with pugging, I've literally done it two weeks in a row, but no CE should not be puggable. Unless it's a steady group of like 15 people that pug 5 a week.

sick sentinel
#

you don't even get to really know what a raid is until you hit max level unless you do pvp

round pendant
#

Yeah but I don't think people would be getting CE IN pugs, maybe it'd motivate more people to get in guilds and actually go for the kill

crude notch
#

yeah

#

that's what i'm saying

#

or starting guilds

sick sentinel
#

it can't be overly hard

round pendant
#

Yeah, so what's the argument against removing the raid id lockouts?

south zealot
round pendant
#

Because we seem to both agree it wouldn't let people pug CE

#

but it would result in more CE via people enjoying it and making guilds

south zealot
#

its the final raid achievement

crude notch
#

stop making arguments up in your head

round pendant
#

Is that not what you were arguing against?

crude notch
#

you're unironically

round pendant
#

I said the lockouts prevent people from trying mythic

crude notch
#

making an argument up in your head

south zealot
#

i think raid lockouts staying as they are until hof closes is the bedt thing u csn do

round pendant
#

aaaand now you're gaslighting me

#

poggers

south zealot

crude notch

I'm not gaslighting you

You're literally making shit up

That's what a gaslighter would say

south zealot

LMFAOOO

I never said lockouts weren't preventing people from trying mythic.

@sick sentinel did you have lunch yet?

proper roost
#

so not really sure its that hard tbh esp if ur new and just need to join a 4/9 guild (almost all of them are 4/9 lmao)

crude notch
#

The biggest gate to mythic raiding is that we're all a bunch of nerds with social disorders so we have a problem with branching out.

proper roost
#

lot of 2/9 guilds recruiting tanks too

sick sentinel
#

its complicated

#

more often than not

crude notch

I'll rope myself right now

Yogi is normal and we're the weird ones

That isn't arguing for lockouts

proper roost
#

for serious though my shaman needs 20 tyrs this week so i can push over 2900, jordan can u help me

crude notch
#

I meant from a difficulty perspective

round pendant
#

because I was only ever talking about lockouts preventing people from TRYING the content

#

which is why people don't do it

crude notch
#

And I'm pretty sure everyone knew what I meant when I said that except you apparently

sick sentinel
#

i dunno much of anything, i just figure universe is infinitely more stupidly and needlessl;y complex than needs to be

If they had the ability/staff to add new abilities to mobs and dungeon bosses for m+ difficulty

Instead of just the affixes and stat buffs

They do, check out VP vs old VP

modern gazelle

That way it doesn’t reach a point of impossibility

There's always going to be a difficulty cap just from how scaling works

Unless you're ssaying keep adding more abilities

but even then

Not true

ok then organized scheduled raiding isnt for u and trying to change it to be, at the detriment of everyone who likes organized scheduling raiding (aka literally everyone mythic raiding rn), is weird isnt it

daring marlin
#

I log on when I do and that's that.

modern gazelle

I asked about any pwar changes I need to know and asked about team utility

south zealot

yall dont raid all day everyday when the patch drops?
