I'm hoping frost ends up good; they were broken early on the PTR but they got some nerfs

So not sure where they're shaping up right now
But frost has always been my favorite
seed go brrrrr
are you nervous for 10.1.7 rogue rework?
Affliction Lock was actually my first character to 60 on Classic.
Not really. Only thing that would probably make me upset that they changed it for outlaw would be like...if I had to use Keep It Rolling in keys
Because KIR is fucking lame
same
frost is omega simming rn
I would like outlaw to be more competitive though
so they got buffed by something
sounds about right
😒
can be a lil higher but yeah
Did you see the change to Grand Melee @crude notch
I don't like fotm/megasimming/popular classes.
Well that's for raid, and who cares about raid tbh
i dont like fotm
Whenever i start a new game my first google is "Least popular class in X".
Not even a joke.
u dont need the rest mwahi
dh and feral are omega simming too
oh i did meant to ask what's the implications of it.
Basically the two main things are, we can keep it now instead of it being an automatic reroll (we only kept it before if it was with Skull and Crossbones). But we avoided having to use Blade Flurry in ST so that's good lol
based take, that's why i'm not playing bear starting tomorrow.

And now i don't wanna touch it anymore.
I just play what's fun. If it's fotm, great. If it's not, also great. I just want to enjoy myself.
phrasing
i dont like bear
does anyone on na have 22 nl
Nope. Just VP 😢
wtf
cxant sleep like this
oof
kekw
Hey
hi



lets go!
was finishing out my vault and last dungeon i needed drops me the trink
yuge
Gz! Thats a juicy one!
praying for beacon in vault
new to prot warr - how do i play around 4pc tier set? do i use last stand on cd or?
yes
Yes and your shield slam keybind should be red glowing hot!
when approximately 10.1.5. changes (rings and our dmg) are going to be implemented in raidbots sims? 🤔
Should be implemented when the patch hits at the latest
It'll say that it's updated at the top of the site when they do it I'm sure
had no idea if this one still worked out
best dps trinket for tanks?
Beacon/anvil

Enchant is sophic/wafting/shadow wreathe
Pick whichever you like more, they all have their benefits
thanks bro
on the key i depleted lair 16, i got eaten by the second devour
i had did the first one and then forgot until it was too late
do you guys keep your loot spec on prot or change it?
If you don't have a shield, keep it on Prot
.If you got a shield, swap it to Fury (for 1h chance still).
i got crafted shield
well there ya go
oh fuck me, how long downtime
Like 8 hours I think
not you cock sucker, th3 game
I figured lol
stupid game
I'm off to bed though, gn. Get ready for your 20 on Saturday yogi!
We appreciate you NA folks beta testing everything for us here in Europe
Morning guys
Thinking of joining the clan, any zandalaris in here?
So I finally looked at the patch notes. Everyone got a big rework and change. We have one sentence
I wonder if prot war superiority will cause drama lmao
One is better than none ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Oh I'm not complaining. I find it humorous
I'm personally glad we didn't get huge changes. As I think warrior is in a fairly decent spot.
Just my opinion, obv
warrior owns
Hell yes we do
everyone?
brew and bear are the only tanks that got touched outside of annulet compensation and brew's new talents aren't going to even be used.
warrior owns (dps specs)

at least warrior isn't rogue who got promised changes and then ope they're not here.
what time are servers supposed to be up
gooood i hope they dont end early
would be perf if they finished right as my work does
I'm gonna guess servers will be back up...4:45pm EST
why not M+ spec
i need like 4 items from it on my shaman I think
and possibly the critbox on my warrior :/
this week is full on arms week, i think i might recraft all my shit to crit/haste this week
not m+ spec because the bosses are the only parts of that dungeon tbh
oh really?
they did nerf the bosses a LOT though
and idk usually in keys, having cc and cleave talents on key bosses tends to be kinda useful
idk what the mechanics of the thing is though, just seems safer to be key spec going in blind
I mean it helps if you drag trash into the boss.
because its burn down the trash week and faceroll the bosses.
I could just swap in the dungeon but eh
We BETTER
I need to finish them FAST on my shaman and my warrior
so I can play other shit
Is prot war really bottom tier atm? Every tier list I saw it’s bottom damn..
Yep same with priests.. ALL F Tier... we garbage totally 🙂
yep pretty much!
teir lists
yogi we're doing that 20 on saturday right
This time for sure!
Every tier list? You mean subcreation and murloc.io which are based on popularity and not indicative of actual performance?
Servers will be up by 3pm est
i totally wont slink away and log off on that day Kappa
U want go
free hold i have literal zero fears of
Ah yes
1v1 I show u who f tier
Tier list talks
yeah that's why we're blasting a 20 FH this weekend
there is like, a few trash packs i dont pull that i don't know exactly what they do
we don't even have to time it but it'll be fun (we will time it though)
All tier lists are for entertainment purposes only.
Thanks for reading my blog
it's ok most of the trash in FH does literally nothing of importance to the tank
Maintenance gonna be extended most likely
Fh is one of my favorite dungeons
I like doing freehold with boss 1, 2, last and then 3rd and it seems to go so much faster for me.
The trash packs are big and easy. The only dangerous mobs are those casters
The first triple pull in fh is a lot of fun
I've had a few pug groups implode there lmao
That one is fun and the bridge is also fun
Absolutely
I love my M+ group because they melt that trash
I've had pugs implode post bridge with the pat
I need to get a push group.
That wat she said
L printing factory apb
coming from the guy that just said everyone got massive changes except warr
Lol
I don't read changes for classes I don't play. Everyone got huge lists. We got one awesome line lol
I mean the patch may seemingly be not that big but it’s very technically intensive. Entire new spec and dungeon and dailies and stuff
I am?
Is everyone in the room with us now?
Weird cause I had to scroll forever to get past the mage part. And other classes have very long list changes
Prot warrior is incredibly solid. Especially if you actually use defensive stance instead of refusing to go into it.
Whole ass raid tier patch comes up early
I tend to forget I changed into d stance
brew and bear are the only tanks that got touched outside of annulet compensation and brew's new talents aren't going to even be used.
nah fam we extendo new spec
all except for that MotherF#@^%@# in the back who is not real
LMAO
I need a new monitor
stop nutting on your monitors

I was thinking something wide screen this time around , curved etc
I have a Samsung odyssey curved
I just use an iPad mini
curved screens are a terrible gimmick
It took me a few minutes to get used to it. But it's glorious
Esp if you properly set your monitor distance
The Odyssey Ark 55 is nice
And be sure to use display port and not hdmi
Heck yes
If your gpu can drive it, deff consider 1440p with hdr
i don't care about this monitor discourse so i have a more interesting separate discussion topic
how do you guys feel about unique class buffs like Battle Shout/Mark of the Wild/Chaos Brand/etc
1440 is a lot easier to drive than 4k with very similar image quality
namely lacking any on hunter, shaman, etc
need to have that peak quality monitor for my 20 year old game
and cyberpunk
I'm usually the only warrior ij my raid group lol
Yeah I am the only Warrior atm in my raid group also. lol if anybody is looking for a mythic raid group on stormrage lmk
that's pretty normal, warrior is in that spot too; aberrus isn't very melee friendly so generally people slot only 1 dps warrior for most fights or none if they have a prot
there's only a few fights (granted the hardest ones) on mythic where 2 dps wars are meta
but i'm just thinking about the recent max video about aug and cutting sham/hunter and shit
I'd really like to have a windfury totem in my raid group
i have not actually watched the video but sham discord all talking about it atm
Imo, hunters could probably use a group buff. But they bring utility. Esp with turtle shell
And like yea its kinda degen but also correct that optimizing a raid comp atm just entirely cuts hunter and shaman with almost 0 loss, or at least non enh
and i just think about every time, fact that we only have one druid and one dh, so if they're ever out it's really bad
or just even want a break or want to be rotated out for a farm boss
Honestly better to bring two or more of other specs than a hunter for a lot situations though
i kinda wished like
well, they used to have it so every single class brought at least one unique raid buff, right
IDK why they moved away from that and then kind of half assed the system
Sort of dumb to just entirely half ass it like it is now
incoming 3 two-hand swords
yogi dps arc when
good luck yogi
I hope you loot 3 forgestorms
Do you not raid yogi
monks do this
its by design
if a monk dies on a pull. just do a shot
really eh
do they like do a taunt or have some big upfront ability that generates tons of aggro sorta like a ret does
also, have to search for a game to play for 8 hours
Scrappers have a fixate, yogi
They also have FD
(off gcd)
If a hunter dies of melee hit they are just bad
monk also had this one happen to him 393k
shoulda healed himself he was only at 68%
XD
How long is this in the pull? For a monk to get aggro it’s weird, a lot of their damage comes from clones
i mean it looks like yogi died literally right before that
the timestamp says 17m (not legible) x seconds
17 teen secs
@proper roost - your cat pic is amazing 😻
so it's more like "wow the squishy ass WW lived for like 10s"
@sick sentinel do you ever log and upload your M+ runs?
Monk tanks are weird to me. They are either gods. Or die every pull
17 teen
I haven't ran into a monk tank since sl, and that dude died every pull in a dungeon until he left
That why you play arms and thank the bosses yourself when the tank dies - die by the sword OP 💪
Saved a key with this yesterday again
Arms warriors having a taunt into dbts is a good thing
well the main problem is brm in keys is basically like mini-BDK currently
you're kind of supposed to get bonked really hard and blam yourself to full hp with big expels
so timing the selfheals or purifies bad just makes you die, it's just like BDK, you ride or die
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC7mVoOvc80 Its the daily double! Two freehold logs for the price of one! https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/nt91BYwjH2yzJk3c/
except your death strike analogue has a cooldown
Dude I love yogi's sense of humor man
It's so eclectic
yeah if it had the hp to match bdk it'd be amazing
it's really cool to heal a good brm
because they bleed a lot less than a bdk
I feel like if I ran with one regularly I would need to track their expel cd or something though
cuz you sometimes get like "oh this guy is bleeding tf out I need to prep a massive spotheal" but its all planned and they're intentionally pooling to blast a heal
and then sometimes they are just giga dying with no cd
Yeah I've had the brm that was good enough that I could just pump lavaburst all dungeon, then one that can't celestial or purify and sits on red stagger all key and I'm drinking every pull
ya but tbf that's true of every tank
tell me you don't know how stagger works without telling me you don't know how stagger works
like 70% of pwars I need to heal pretty occasionally, 20% just dont know what IP or SB is, and 10% I literally don't even really need to riptide
that 10% is like
marry me material
there is a 2 logs right above you can check out if you want to see logs of how healers did with me
stagger dn
seaspout ... are you seeing the blue swirly on the ground?

this means nothing
Hey it's that guy from last week who kept saying you should use whirlwind instead of revenge
based
it is 360
I'm running this build on my brew with patch
I mean revenge isn't 360degrees
i stood in the sea spout, i do know better than that
all the passive talents i could take i did
Well you can certainly take it if you have a shield wall up and heroic leap or charge back down
The real winner is somehow not having devastator
My RSK is gonna hit harder than giga shield slam
i mean i just don't actually encounter tanks that bad at the key levels I normally do on my shaman
its, im also fighting the giant ogre throwing rocks
i'd understand if you see that at like 11-15 or maybe even 16-19 those are just low keys and people play funny
he's always a good friend
it's w/e
Give everyone a equally valued class buff like this or remove all of them no in between like we have now
I never pull those guys with extra stuff
but avatar
I solo pull those with pugs
he does hurt an awful lot
Remove 'em all imo.
"equally valued" is the problem
with my group that can handle not standing in stuff and doing dumb shit. Ill pull multiple with it.
Shit's garbanzo.
i mean i kinda like class buffs idk
Battle Shout isn't even close to Mark
It’s definitely all or nothing
Us?
See: hunters being literally useless in raid now unless they do giga dam
i've seen that dude nuke more groups than i care to remember
They're not gonna remove them, that's well known, so it's better off adding more imo
There should be something akin to what XIV has like you have this role, gain x
chucks a boulder at priest
And that's it
You timed it at least, nice time also
If I wanted everything to be like XIV i'd play XIV
try to block those memories away
This guy gets it WW 360s, Rev doesnt
Point being you get bonuses for having a melee, tank, ranged and healer. That's it.
Well, ranged phys and caster diff, I guess.
my brother who as far as i can tell is a gigachad by most measures, said to me "its not my final fantasy to play that game" when i was visiting and playing ff1 on psp
and it stuck for the most part except for crisis core
i never been into ff ever again
I mean maybe they need to make some classes do more physical damage to make the AP gain more valuable
its funny how offhanded nothing comments like that can stick though
cease
Like make class synergy
Or otherwise
Delete all buffs
What we have now is stupid imo
yessss yessss discourse
👋
GM bull
you should be pulling the big boys together or wit that pack that doesnt have the sucky boys near stage right of the boss arena
doing them solo is just slowlo
freehold route by yogi
delete buffs then class stack 9 of x then watch people still complain
some of those pulls are a bit generous sizing, but thats pretty much it
im ok with slow with pugs
pull 19 is toxic
is this yogi's +20 FH route?
how is 19 toxic?
Yeah grab the pat by the 2nd boss instead
So Eudora can't jump there 🙂
otherwise i have to do the pack over U in smugglers run
You can grab that 3 pack with the 3 as well
Pulling the ring of booty trash is the play because your staring at rp anyway
i think half the fun of freehold is yoloing the pulls every single time tbh
i've literally never had any tanks pull it the same way
it's always a new and wacky different way
Skip 6 because it’s ass to dodge swirls there, do pack between 8/13 all while waiting for lust to come back for boss 2
Bring feral
FH is an aoe centric dungeon
Pull the yellow mobs
your route requires you to pull a pack after last boss
and also st something during it
Then you can remove 19
when you could instead just pull more aggressively earlier
and leverage your teams aoe
specifically in the area between bosses 2 and 3
The trick during boss weeks is to keep the momentum going with the groups buffs while the trash packs are getting nuked down and try to limit inactivity.
I try and stick to a rout but in pugs concepts like "spacial awareness" is foreign
lol true
So always endup with 2 Extra packs
Hey Ill stand up against this wall, thanks for pullin everything behind ya
not familiar with this route
i hate pugs as much as the next guy but at a certain point you have to believe everyone ther has the same level of investment in completeing the key and will do their job
planning around them being useless is basically just saying "i will wait till i out gear the content"
"I jumped off the platform to avoid the fixate, idk how we got both patrolls"
Best tanks don’t pull 6
The keys get better the higher you go though its true
6 is ASS for melee
i dont mind 6 tbh
It’s ok if they drag it onto the rat pack so there’s more room
But otherwise it’s horrible
They always tank it on that walk way
I really like the guy who was like "pugs fuck up and sometimes pull the ticks in the first pull of UR, so instead I always pull them"
Which is just like
Lmao what the fuck
huh
"sometimes they fuck up so i'm gonna make sure we ALWAYS fuck up!!!"

god damn fuckin boomer takes
best routes probably skip it though you're right
Yeah smol brain pull tick
samething with the 1 brute guy at the start of the bridge
oarsmen are just inefficient
True
big haytch pee pool
Do you guys ever setup your routes on Keystone guru?
same thing
Sometimes I’ll try other tanks routes on guru
the duelist in those packs is always a hidden killer too, i noticed that on like week 1-2 and started ccing every time it dashed
Most of the time I just throw together popular pulls I like
Sorta like a mix and match of what I know I’m good at
im doing 6 to here because of the hover over
with the blot being a safer spot for me for the seaspout
megadungeon hype
gimme new puzzlebox
More mega dungeons when?
i couldnt remove the tiny white dot, mean the blot connected to line
Give me like 4-5 mega dungeons
10-man raids too
Yo 5 head

will the mega dungeon count towards my vault
And the other half for season 2

If only
really the only factor holding me back
gotta get 3 boxes at least on all the toons
for max rewards
kind of a pain
or at least until im socketed up
what about, mechagnomes have been left alone too long, and they have perfected AI and are now creating super robots
robots makes a good enemy too
Full BRD like mega when!?
yeah but for the alts fam
7-8 man dungeons when?
ok get this
idk find a time!
but I think we are going to reclear this week
we've all been wondering about S3 M+ rotation
Season 4 dragonflight will be all 4 mega dungeons as keys
before Sark prog
but what if S3 M+ rotation is oops, all megadungeons
X to doubt
ok they would need to add 2 more i think but still
I think two of the dungeons will be the mega dungeon
I'm okay with that.
then two-four of the df dungeons
dang you're prescient
and then two-four of something else
it's almost like
- BRD
kanga was being facetious
yeah they're not reusing tazavesh until next xpac
wait, we gonna have a season of Kara, Mechagone, Tazavesh, and whatever this is?
DUH!!!
Seriously though m+ BRD when
never.
Yes please
Scarlet halls and monastery are what I want most
🙂
I also want og dead Mines in m+
dead mines M+ would be sick
Og dead Mines is small with tight corridors and lots of chances for accident pulls
I'm not talking the cata dm update. I mean the original dead Mines.
liek how far you had to clear the key
I also want storm wind stocks as m+
I said what I said
some people unironically want a M+ with zero mechanics 
Socks is pretty much all accident pulls lol
target dummy boss
i know, but it would be total bullshit
there would be so much malding on the forums
stresed out tanks and healers EXHAUSTED dps
My suspicion is that season 3 M+ we will get 2 from mega dungeon 4-5 from legacy and potentially 1-2 new that fit the theme of season 3
I don’t think they will give us DF dungeons again in season 3 right away
That goes against them saying they want seasons to be fresh
i hope your list is right but only because it would make you happy
Probably 1 or 2 df dungeons and a mix of Legion at cata for theme
mythic plus temple of atal'hakkar
Lol
Yasss
Damn
With all 4 floors
no matter what, s3 keys are gonna be cringe and bad because the greentext means that the only keys everyone wants to run are the megadungeon
Yogi wants 2 hour runs

let people get lost in that dungeon
It's a circle
A lot of the og dungeons would be considered mega dungeons today
How could you go wrong
I also would like ubrs or lbrs m+
the new temple isnt BAD per say but it lacks the sewer boss for one
It lacks a lot
The updated temple is a shame imo
But
It went from what it was to a hold w straight line
Hey, i've seen many routes that do this pull. There is a best way to do it? Cause I almost always aggro the patrol
it is a good and functional dungeon at the end of the day new temple of atal
And have that add that don't move for nothing
You don't want a dungeon that's painful to navigate
Pull them onto the bridge
No, overall modern design is better. Nobody will want to spend an hour plus in a dungeon
new temple of hakkar is exactly like what dead simple is in doom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU8C-Js7zdo
Walkthrough for Map 07 of Doom II: Hell of Earth - Dead Simple. 100% monsters, items, and secrets on ultra violence with pistol start.
just a big old kill room
Take that mega dungeon in sl. Before it was split most people only did it a few times then waited for it to be split
Iirc Bridge creates los they will all pat to tank as long as everyones on bridge
and that is NOT a bad thing
At what time servers will be back?
But that map is one of the hardest
August I assume
Like you just open up into 5 Fatties blasting fireballs
Alright, see you in a month
At least it will feel like august
Nobody knows. Expect at least 1 delay
gotta play dead simple conservatively
Eta 3pm pst

if you instantly nuke all of the mancubus, the archanos come
You guys is this not the patch they are opening up cross realm trading?
That is a lot of framework to patch I imagine
When blizz rolls out big changes and updates, they almost always have to extend maint
Expect today’s maintenance to take a while
so you leave the last one alive collect some ammo, THEN you kill the mancubis
Yeah it is whirl
then you can easily control the archnos outside
The add that don't move will lose LOS?
Maximum speed, hit the outer ring and take out the arachnoids before sniping the munds through the opening
Also “word to the wise” I would avoid cross realm trading the first day or two expect bugs you do not want to lose items of high value
Kanga cool
if they box you in and you dont LOS you are GG tho

its a nasty trap for noobs
If I recall correctly, when you aggro the mobs you showed in the picture, if you stand on the bridge they will path to you.
i mean i think pulling onto the bridge is just asking for a wipe
it's nearly impossible to avoid sea spout on the bridge
Yeah it is
just plan to pull the patrol, it's not a big deal
My same opinion about yogis pull 6 applies to that bridge pull
the patrol pull is literally FULLY on the tank to just play correctly
thats precisely why i died to the seaspout
thats literally all u need to do and the patrol is irrelevant
fearing the patrol pull is only valid if you're playing like brm, otherwise it's dumb to not want to pull it
guys this was probably asked already 100x times, maybe should be pinned, but with the nerf to Onyx Annulet, do we stop using it in raid as a prot warr both in ST and in AoE?
ty ❤️
Also
I don't really understand what you mean by "I wouldn't even bother"
Yep, grab any ring crit+haste or whatever you want for stats and bump it up to 447
We were compensated with buffs*
Like, don't pull the patrol? because u cant skip it without a warlock
or a shroud
which is silly, the officer is better efficiency than the optional pack with the oarsman
Are you talking about that guys pull before the bridge after first boss?
harlan area
one of my many seapout deaths
Oh we’re mixed up sir
WTF HOLY is that pull
I just realized what theyre linking
That's a fucking psychotic route
Can someone help me what rings to equip for M+ (20+-22+ range) if I link my SimC if that's ok? (I have a lot and I'm stuck
So for that pull. Ill pull the 2 on the bridge out and kill them, then pull the patrol and all that shit on the right after the bridge
Yes kanga LOL
I mean just don’t kill anything except the big guy on the bridge after boss 1
Better % later in the dungeon
Haste crit

JK do not do that
i did die to that on the bridge im pretty sure , and thats what im trying to find
No need to stack mastery for 20-22 in my book
For raid purposes, since I have already +30% unbuffed haste, im considering sloting in a crit + vers crafted ring in place of the Onnyx. Thoughts? Progging on Zskarn atm and here are my stats.
When bears get ww

This is my simc if anyone can help select some rings I'm just a prot off spec https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2Y3A6LXJijxjgWGWQm5BxW, cheers
21% crit O.o
i thought i died to a sea spout on the bridge with the giant
i cant seem to locate it
even with all the diminishing return?
Only 30%?
10% dr is very minimal
You haste until GCD caps
ooo u loose 1 haste out of every 10 you gain so u get 9 haste instead of 10 really doesnt mean anything
im titling this one "don't fight on the bridge in FH"
im not quite exactly sure there, some big melees went through, 47k was one
thats a terrible spot to tank it
just pull the pack on the left after you die first
so you can use the boss area as space
ok, thats for the info. i usually prio versa instead of crit cause i seem to have a bit of a thought time with DoT's. Should I consider getting more crit instead?
.
vers wont save you
in the VDH disc, theres a quick TLDR on vers and its limitations
its just too long for me to snippet
vers is good if you can have 150% of it 
Has the guidance changed much? Don't worry about vers unless you're doing over like 20-21 keys
u dont worry about it even then
I heard 24s is when it may matter to clothies f.ex.
current #2 ranked pwar in the world has 6% vers
ah sorry 8
stats dont matter
rank 1 have 20% vers, coincidence? 😛
yes
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iI8Bw_RNjdM noob vs AH
Just don’t mention rank #1 plays weird talents too
Not soon enough! 
I tried that whole working thing but meh
Discord addict

oh right, i've forgot about that 
is it ethical to ghost that M+ community if there's literally zero effort by the organizers to actually organize any schedules @crude notch
i don't really want to put in the effort to coordinate 5 peoples' schedules (one of which is mia and 2 have wildly restrictive schedules)
and the organizers are extremely insistent on all runs should be only comprised of people from that disc and 0 outsiders
what in the fuck
some dude got caught cheating at a warhammer 40k event using loaded dice
and when he was exposed, his reaction was to run to the bathroom and flush the dice in the toilet at said event.
yep
and they were leaded so they didnt flush
LOL
I worry only about raid, and im a bit afraid of the last couple bosses but I'll take the advice and going brainless for haste/crit :b
don't care a tiny bit in optimizing for M+, i do only for vault
"I just take weird shits I swear"
Based on the information you posted I’d just dip or say something along the lines of this just isn’t for me and dip lol
Yeah that's a bailout situation imo. Like how are the "organizers" gonna not actually organize the shit.
^^
i feel like i should say something but i don't want to argue with them
"supervisors"
Just say this ain’t it and dip lol
or have some weird bargaining going on like "oh we'll organize it suddenly now that you complained"
we are here to supervise you, that is what our job is and why we are in control of you
like they clearly care and its only their first event but its so ba dlol
I'm trying to think of a non-cuntish way to say "You guys should've coordinated schedules beforehand" but my sugarcoat is only so strong
yeh i mean i want to be like
"hey i'm going to withdraw from this event because i don't really want to organize the schedules for everyone, i was under the impression you guys were going to do that"
but i don't want them to argue
with me
Yeah 100% i get what you're saying
i've done small events (of other things) before and sometimes it can get kinda snipey
Maintenance already happen yet?
i sent a short couple paragraphs explaining to the main org
fingers crossed they take it ok (or don't respond that's probably ideal)
Oh...he wasn't even cheating using a "weaker" army, he's using an army that's currently quite obviously overpowered and has a number of mechanics that means they don't need to roll dice.
And he still couldn't win all his game
hes an eldar player
nothing new
out of curiosity is it considered kosher to like
3d print your own minis and bring them
Depends on the event, but most are pretty cool wioth it as long as they're recognisable as what they're meant to be
like, bootleg magic cards are a thing in tourneys right? idk if that's allowed in official mtg tourneys though ig
it just seems kind of, idk
weird that there's this big financial hurdle to even get into the game lol
Having a few proxies in your deck for a friday night magic or something is fine
Anything official, absolutely not
kicked out immeaditely on the spot
cant be bent or damaged cant be this that and the other
It’s certainly not cheap to get into
like being financially gated to play a "good" comp or deck or whatever
is so weird
is kinda p2w
One of the reasons why I didn’t get into it is for that reason
or even, pay to compete, is really weird
Although in tabeltop it’s also kinda not necessarily that
Since they have army counts
This is why I stick to playing casual EDH. Also means I don't need to worry about set rotation or anyhting
yaya it's more paying your way into the competition which is uh
Way more weirdge
for an ostensibly competitive event
Well I just mean that more of the “op” stuff usually costs a lot more than just fielding a bunch of decent stuff
i mean, i get why, obviously tournaments and stuff are part of marketing for those games
but yknow
the problem why all of these prorgams suck so hard, including and most importantly hearthstone, is that they limit the playing field
how many monsters and spells can be laid down
TLDR for example one unit could cost like 1/10th of your total army allowance as opposed to like 1/100th
and how many players
it would be equally weird if like, top arena tourneys or TGP or whatever required you to pay in 1k to even get into the groups stage, you know what i mean
(i'm aware that some real sports are def like this)
Yeah I do
i don't except to see 8 player commander on magic arena, but i think it could work with 4 players quite easily
But in fairness, WoW also costs a box cost and then either a lot of time investment or $15 a month
So you’re kinda paying into it
Just a lot more palatable
As opposed to like $300 just for a starting army
Time/Energy/Money
You're always gonna pay at least 2

ya but i'm not talking about getting into a hobby
getting into a hobby, it's reasonable to pay in some money; videogames are like BY FAR the cheapest money:time hobby in that sense
what if i told you, all 3 are the same thing
i'm talking about competing in a high end bracket in that hobby
like I said I know there are plenty of irl competitions that you do actually have to pay in to get into the competition but those are like hoity toity rich people shit
its sorta weirdge to pay, like, games workshop to engage in their own marketing lol
ah well doesn't affect me just was curious. Kinda sucks if you're a good player but no monies ig
I mean yeah
I think the average is like $650 (spent on armies)
Which is kinda nuts
like i imagine there's high level competitors who have dropped out of playing competitively just because like
some meta shift or new releases or w/e invalidated their army and they couldn't keep up financially
I know that’s a big thing that happened in magic not too long ago
A lot of people just got tired of the constant financial chase
.
morning cuties
Finally got a mark of Dargul! Only took me 45 runs
I take it servers are still up and not taken down then?
americans remember that anywhere outside of america exists challenge (impossible)
Perhaps
(this is a yoke)
like my life
ok i resigned from the event and they were very nice and polite about it
Yokes on you I’m Canadian
no idea if they actually read my complaint! but that's ok too
which means you're still american
canadians try to remember that ind-
nevermind
(this is saved in my backlog of "how to piss off canadians" folder)
Yokes on you I’m actually American and not Canadian
Actually bigger yokes on you I’m not American I’m a Texan


That’s because you’re wild
i feel like i can suddenly type 200 wpm
Jordan vs Linus typing competition when
Better get my property in Texas now before they pull a we’re our own country now
Warrior grill event in Texas when?
I could make a joke
That'll be great, we can treat Texas like every other 3rd world country and send all our garbage
thats the one thing I miss about Texas.... the meat
Im smokin some Baby Backs right now
holy fuck thats making me hungry
nice meat
great caramelization
No lesson learnt here,
:wesmart:
keep it under 300 and you dont burn anythin
thats called New Jersey
I thought that was just everything around and including NYC
imagine learning lessons
when you can just continuously make the same mistakes and blame someone else
texas becomes its own country im moving in by force
ngl, the last time I was in NYC, there was a terrible stench as soon as I got off at 125th
at least Boston is nice and clean

Yeah imagine not wanting to live where you have actual freedom
Weird
Also quality food
One thing the EU gangs got going on I will say is there food man
We got some real garbage on our shelves
I would like to visit Italy again at some point
Went when I was pretty young as a kid, probably hits a lot different as an adult
had America been colonized by the Italians, we may have had good food
but it just had to be the British

This is why Chicago is the greatest of US cities
Oh no doubt in my mind I have not personal been to EU but every single person I have ever talked to about it is floored by the food quality
I look forward to trying it for myself someday
the food quality in the US is largely due to food deserts and major farms mass producing produce for the entire nation
But then you have people like me where your great grandparents came from Italy
Food isn’t produced here for quality it’s produced here for profit
if you get produce from locals farmers market stuff (very bougie in the context of america tbf) it changes quality a LOT
That is the entire problem
American food is Mostly additives
Also too much dairy and corn
Wayyy too much corn
Ehhhh I’d say the problem more comes down to people just not knowing what to buy or simply not caring about quality ingredients
Is that 6% aura buff in the notes live on EU or tomorrow ?
on patch day
Like there’s a lot of quality stuff out there on shelves
I’m fortunate enough to live half in the sticks so we stock our own naturally fed/grown meats and veggies
At least at H‑E‑B
I cant even begin to imagine how a person must feel when they live off of city shelves foods
It’s gotta feel like shit they’re just used to it
Subsidised corn crops back when they sold everyone on using it as fuel, turns out that without subsidies it's 3x more expensive than oil and produces just as much pollution
if you want good eating in America, you live in a small town
Tbf yes this is true
We as Americans do lack diet education
We just buy what “looks cool on the box”
And it tastes good
When I moved to Canada I stopped having migraines and gastro problems because they actually regulate their shit more or less, just gotta keep my eye out for the American brands sneaking in under a different name
Most people just don’t care to learn how to cook
You're forgetting lobbying efforts 🙂
I just recently got into it because the fam likes to get together on Sundays and have a meal so I cooked once to make life a little easier and went on a whole rabbit hole

I really need to get more into cooking
I’m basically cave man diet
Lmao
I have a meat everyday with a vegetable
Really great channels on yt for it
Very limited carbs
Cave man diet is healthy
Yep guil that’s what I do
Working out with no carb just gasses you instantly
It’s beans
I'm only around 250/300g carbs a day atm
truth
just eat tasty stuff in moderation
I try to stick to 200 or less if I can

Sometimes it’s hard to avoid them
And too much focus on “oh I’m not eating enough protein”
They are in everything
Like sure that’s helpful
But it doesn’t mean anything if you’re in a 500 calorie surplus a day
Protein is pretty easy to get in unless you hate chicken breast, lean beef, tuna or egg whites.
eat more lentils 
lentils and legumes are a hack
that overcooked chicken breast lovers want to forget
that's the benefit of making all your own food--errrthing tastes gr8.

idk fam my chicken breast always comes out nice and juicy
air fryer is a game changer
Or just like
Pull your chicken breast off at 155
Physics is cool
It hits 165 anyways at that temp due to carryover cooking
Not to mention you can just cook at a lower temp for a longer time, the only reason 165 is recommended is because it does the 99.999999% killing of pathogens instantaneously. You get the same reduction of pathogens at 150 if it stays that temperature for 3 minutes.
does prot warr take the new trinks?
no one does currently
because it hasn't been properly implemented in simc because they weren't available for testing
I only eat my chicken medium rare
I only eat my chicken alive
Only ones that we have any idea of is the stuff from the dungeon which I think one of two of the trinkets have potential but they’re not BiS at least at this point in time
one day my answers will be good enough

To make it up for you I’ll come be a simp in one of your keys
Lmao
You see the clip of the guy marinating his feathered bird in Buffalo sauce
BEFORE
Plucking it
