Only downside to Costco vs Sam's is no scan n go.

That's literally it.

It used to just be you take your friends card to self checkout

I'm in Texas hahaha

And Reddit is also posting about it

It’s crazy cuz my mom has breast cancer

So I took her card

And they didn’t let me buy my shit

Meds are different I think

and or whatever else they need me to get with his card

I was buying regular stuff

Weird

But there’s a clear sign for it where I am

Hey guys. Is "Fueled by Violence" worth using after that was upped to 110%?

lusty grotto

you can use it sure, its similar to BV, using any of them has no significant advantage over the other

similar in terms of healing

i personally keep using BV

but again it doesnt matter

pick it and see which one does better for you

depends what flight speed you are in and can get to/hold without using a charge

strong forum
#

too many dashes

sick sentinel
#

you don't always have to and shouldn't instantly use every single one, try to make it out of 1 or 2 rings while gliding and not losing speed by going down

#

expell a charge this is

strong forum
#

by using jump you maintain alot more speed for longer because you gain 2 flaps

#

so if its a straight line, you 100% jump

#

aswell as going up

#

when you go down yeah you dont press anything

sick sentinel
#

is about maintiaining a constant rate of speed and not touching any god damn tree bracnhes

strong forum
#

or if its too close to a ring

sick sentinel
#

or gates

strong forum
#

you just dont use anything

#

if you play it well you can maintain full 1300% speed

#

with ascend

sick sentinel
#

i only tend to use jump for up, i didn't weak auras the dragon speed

#

saw4 you could do that day one, didnt give a shit

strong forum
#

i dont use that weakaura either

sick sentinel
#

would have made it legit giga trivial

#

i just judge by "do i see the anime speed lines around me at all times?" and "this has to be it" feeling

strong forum
#

when your animation ends is when you lose speed

sick sentinel
#

and if i fuck up, i start over

strong forum
#

of dashing/ascending

#

ascend animation is alot longer

#

due to 2 flaps, if you do it correctly

#

means you maintain more speed for longer

#

dashing loses speed quicker

sick sentinel
#

worked fine for me shrug

strong forum
#

yeah obv those races arent intended to be min-maxed

#

its just alot easier to 1shot every race

sick sentinel
#

the races are challenging enough to gold if you do them dash only or dash mostly

strong forum
#

not mandatory to ascend spam, just easier

hazy bronze
#

Yeah the ungoro one was the only mildly challenging

sick sentinel
#

its a really good balance of challenge with like, 70/30 dash/jump

strong forum
#

i found aszhara harder

#

only beat that by 1.4seconds

#

when ungoro i beat by 8 seconds

sick sentinel
#

the race track? that was easy for me

#

i went into a trance and started aliigning my body through the rings

#

my body was ready and i felt i could win so i won

strong forum
#

didnt say it was hard

#

just harder than ungoro

sick sentinel

i don't remember which onesw legit gave me trouble, not any really clearly

# crystal mauve Did you play it old school laying down on your bed superman mode?

Tanner runs inside the house only to find Jones lying on the ground bleeding... it seems Vasquez got to Jones first. As Tanner looks over Jones's body, he hears gunshots outside and sees a gun man fleeing. After a brief shootout, the gun man gets in a car and drives off. Jones regains conciousness and tells Tanner to go chase the gun man down...

New food pyramid meta just dropped

i have 2 more pieces of 447 gear . should i craft them or should i wait for vault. Since at the moment i have 4/5 tier piece but if i craft those gear i will only have 3/5 tier piece

warm plinth
lilac bloom
#

446

warm plinth
#

I mean, you're almost guaranteed to have to take tokens in vault at this point anyway right? And any pieces you would take would probably be tier or trinkets since you can't craft those. So just craft any non-447s you have that aren't tier or trinkets.

lilac bloom
#

i see

#

the only gear left i have hands and chest

#

thats 441

#

and other then that is just dps weapon

warm plinth
#

Yeah then sounds like you're done until you get those slots in vault. Can make dps items if you want though

this is my gear

yeah make dps items

lilac bloom

well i had a choice with sark cloak and the brakehide trink.. so... i alrady have a 447 clock crafted

#

i went with trink

#

damn.. not sure i made the wrong choice since farming sark cloak is hard

#

with low % roll

warm plinth
#

sark is pretty bad in keys so if that's most of your content then you made the right-ish choice. Splinter isn't really needed

lilac bloom
#

damn.. well i guess i keep farming sark

#

thats only for raid right?

#

mythic raids

warm plinth
#

Yeah you wouldn't really use it outside of raid

#

It procs very very little in keys and you lose like 50k hp to use it

lilac bloom
#

i hate farming sark.. :( oh wells..

#

well thx for letting me know

#

at least i just save aspect for weapon

#

i already have a 447 polearm from the first boss

#

of mythic

#

i guess i just craft a dps weapon 447

proper roost
#

if you play fury, then offhand 441 ashkandur is better than a 447 offhand

so crafting dps weapon is pretty optional

#

Ghash, this doesn't really apply to you because you like playing all the things anyways, but would you be more likely to strive for the title on like an off meta spec if title was done by .1% of spec?

warm plinth
#

Ooh I can see this kinda going both ways tbh lol

#

On the one hand, the meta spec .1% will be bigger, but on the other hand, the .1% for offmeta can be easily skewed by one person pushing giga high

crude notch
#

well .1% isn't based on io, it's based on number of people playing the spec

#

Although it'd inherently push all off-meta specs higher as far as participation goes.

warm plinth
#

Right but if you have say, 100 people playing x spec, and 1 person is 3.5k and the rest are 3k or lower, wouldn't that mean the .1% would be 3.5k? I'm not the greatest at this type of math

mighty valley

what's a ballpark % of a spec that gets title generally?

crude notch
warm plinth
#

windwalker, MW and pres in shambles

mighty valley

i presume this season is significantly worse than usual

Has any other spec been meta that little?

sin I guess probably?

ret is the next closest

spec individually would probably have arcane and sin in there yeh

warm plinth

Yeah I don't recall a single season where sin was even meta for part of it haha

I think ret had a brief moment of it at some point this expansion didn't it

Last season was ret's highest representation ye

What a train wreck lol

#

Spec specific title is an interesting idea though

mighty valley

love that 2.1% is our best in years

don't really think that mw has ever had a real identity as long as it's existed tbh

#

you had WotC for MDI and that's it.

when it's decent it's usually on the back of the base monk toolkit when the other specs are garbage

It's had a couple tiers where it was super strong for raid

MY TIME HAS COME

crude notch

I do love the Resto Shaman timeline of being considered an absolute joke in BfA to being middle of the pack to meta every season since then

My favorite tank for this is Bear:

It's either meta or not played at all

when its invincible it has vers buff so ggwp

and does big dam bc they can pull 40 guys

crude notch
#

It's only had the vers buff for two seasons bud

mighty valley
#

I also think “im a bear” is kind of a niche fantasy for your average wow player

#

so if it’s not bringing something busted to the squad I dunno if it has that many devoted lifers

Also, Revival has quite a few niche cases this season, the problem is those niche cases also coincide with Mass Dispel

Ironically I should remember MotW since I mained a bear from vanilla until MoP lol

crude notch
#

MotW was originally a amount of primary rating with armor and resistances. Then it became 5% stats and resistances in Cata. Then it lost Stam in MoP. Then 3% vers was added onto everything else in WoD. Removed in Legion. Now is just 3% vers.

warm plinth
#

Oh yeah I forgot about the resistances part

@ionic fern hi ily

#

Did you remember to give Abe the thingermajigs

crude notch
#

Did you see we had a first time ever yesterday?

warm plinth
#

👀

#

What was it

crude notch
#

For the first time in title history the cutoff went down compared to the previous day(outside of depletion score tuning).

warm plinth
#

So that's from the top being stagnant and more people getting the lower scores or?

crude notch
#

Ye

#

They really need to innact my solution.

#

Making key scaling 8% per key at all levels adds 2.0-2.5 key levels to the "max"

ionic fern
#

I did remember to give him the thingermajigs.

warm plinth
# crude notch Ye

so if it isn't too much of a pain, how is the title actually calculated?

crude notch
#

It's .1% of charactersthat have completed a key

#

So if the cap is hit early enough in a season you'll naturally get a reduction of cutoff because you'll always have a steady flow of alts/new people doing keys in a season

#

It's actually shocking to me that we've never had it happen before

#

even for a day

warm plinth
#

Okay so if there's 10,000 people, you take the lowest score of the top .1% and that would be the cutoff right?

crude notch
#

We've had 5 days wher eit was 0

warm plinth
#

Okay I think I get it now. Since there's more people, the top .1% are a larger pool, which would have an increased range of score potentially

#

Hence the cutoff dropping

crude notch
#

yep

#

As we're finding out this season it's very very much dependent on the top not hitting the "cap"

#

My gripe is some people will say that it's gear acquisition related but I think week 14 in the past you would've also been geared as well.

opaque quest
#

Pretty sure gear being available so fast just pushed the problem 2 weeks forward

warm plinth
opaque quest
#

100%. Aug should never have been released mid season, leave alone a seaosn at all

#

Aug probably shouldve never been released. Now that i think about it. Aug will always be mandatory or not be taken at all

jagged pier
#

just u wait if bliz dont fix how combat logs work the game could be looking very different next patch

opaque quest
#

Blizz will always find a way to make it worse. Trust

jagged pier
#

not a blizz issue atm well also stems from them and aug not being able to show on meter correctly

opaque quest
#

Aye. Still, blizz makes bilions a year they could offer some help since logs are such a big part of THEIR game

#

Unless they want their community to be mad about the exodia meta forever

pine storm
opaque quest
#

It should be in your interest as a company to keep players retained and since they put so much emphasis on RWF and TGP and stuff they should help keep logs alive. No?

lusty grotto
#

jesus what an idiot

jagged pier
#

they dont put any emphasis on the RWF

#

literally none

opaque quest
#

You see the WoW youtube channel?

jagged pier
#

they have 0 involvment with it

lusty grotto
#

yet another guy (who also hates americans) that think the 1% are the customers that blizzard worries about

jagged pier
#

u dont even know what im talking about with logs i dont want them to kill logs, i dont want logs to update instantly like they are now as it will ruin the game

#

they need to change it back to batching every 30 seconds

opaque quest
#

Oh i know youre talking about the overlays

#

Thats why i said blizz should work with Wlogs to keep them

#

Again

#

American reading comprehension

lusty grotto
#

🍿

jagged pier
#

blizzard already do work with the logs team

lusty grotto
jagged pier
#

they also work with most big addon creators

#

to see where ppl are breaking the game etc

#

with them

young swan
#

Whats the benefit of using Fueled by Violence over Brutal Vitality ? I noticed prot warriors are running Fueled by Violence on high keys.

jagged pier
#

and what the addons can actually do

jagged pier
young swan
jagged pier
#

run BV

#

its better for u

young swan
#

but i was curious as to why they are running it

#

do you know why ?

jagged pier
#

well theres like 0 difference anyway

#

but my guess would be because on high lvl keys your IP disappears even faster FbV may actually do a tiny bit more than BV

young swan
#

oh i see

#

thanks

crude notch
#

what did i miss

lusty grotto
#

the american hater being an idiot as always

#

he cursed blizzard a few times, of course he would, its an american company after all

crude notch
#

No one with a straight face can ever say Blizzard puts ANY emphasis into the RWF whilst global release isn't a thing.

lusty grotto
#

its ok jordan

#

hes "just trolling"

why are u guys awake so early

daring marlin

Complaining about Americans on Discord(developed in America) in a discord dedicated to a game(also developed in America) is pretty funny to me.

I was up at 5am.

#

oh ok

i slept like 3-4 hours

I went to bed at 10pm.

#

Gym before work!

lusty grotto
#

its ok ill sleep the afternoon unless the shit goes horribly wrong somehow

proper roost
#

i came to a really

#

bad realization this morning

#

i want to raid a little bit more but i don't enjoy any retail rdps

lusty grotto
#

why rdps

#

tired of melee?

proper roost
#

ya playing melee in mythic raid sucks

#

u are entirely beholden to the whims of a good or bad tank

lusty grotto
#

did you try SP? even with the nerfs its still pretty decent

proper roost
#

i get parried like 40% of the time on echo even though half or more of those times are entirely avoidable

lusty grotto
#

and i heard its kinda fun to play

proper roost
#

actually spriest i really have fun with

hazy bronze
#

And fight design. Melee should've gotten chains on painsmith keksquad

proper roost
#

but it's not gonna happen for my current raid group

#

ye the main thing about melee is

lusty grotto
#

ah rip

proper roost
#

99% of the time, melee dont get mechanics

#

which is a blurse

#

on one hand, good if u just wanna pump

#

on the other hand, if your raid sucks at mechanics

#

then you cant come in and fix it

#

anyway I want to play mage but i'm not enjoying fire or frost atm

#

idk why sadga

crude notch
proper roost
#

least surprising thing i've ever heard

#

but yeah the other consideration i'm having is playing healer in mythic raid but

#

it's so much more boring than keying

daring marlin
#

Tell your tanks to GIT GUD

crude notch
#

SHUT UP

#

it's POE weekend.

#

no one talk about wow

or lol

Form a union with the two other melee in your raid kanga

uh

yeah that's the other issue

daring marlin
proper roost

we have like 12 melee

young swan
#

i might try poe

#

is it easy for new players ?

proper roost
#

no

#

literally the opposite

young swan
#

i started wow a few months ago

#

and the hardest part of the game is to get friends to play with

#

poe is a solo game right ?

proper roost
#

join a guild

#

and ironically no not at all

young swan
lusty grotto
#

well depends on what you compare it with

young swan
#

ive joined like 4-5 guild and the experience was all the same "Join the guild, talk to people in GC and get ignored, join their discord, proceedes to get ignored and wont even give me a role to see the channels, and i still need to keep playing pugs because no one will play with me"

#

i noticed that most wow guild just recruit players for numbers

lusty grotto
#

yeah those are fodder guilds

#

they invite literally anyone

proper roost
#

i mean don't join a trade chat guild lol

lusty grotto
#

they exist in other games too

proper roost
#

or wowprog or something

#

who actually want to do something

lusty grotto
#

dont get me wrong, you might still get ignored if you go through an app process too

#

but there are players that might want to do things in those

#

especially at the start of a season

#

maybe not so much now

young swan
#

i mean its not that bad to pug everything tbh

#

its cool

lusty grotto
#

yeah its not so bad

#

you roll the dice but it is what it is

young swan
#

i still havent killed astc final boss on heroic, but thats whatever i can still get loot on vault

#

im gonna try those websites you said

#

maybe ill get lucky

lusty grotto
#

like kanga said, raider.io is good for it, and so is warcraftlogs

proper roost
#

it's not about getting lucky it's about joining a guild that doesn't have literally 0 standards

#

and also that has a reason for existing

#

usually raiding mostly

young swan
#

i mean but i dont have much to show for, ive been playing for a few months im only 2200io 440ivl and 8/9 heroic

#

idk if thats enough to join a good guild

#

but ill try

proper roost
#

why would you have to join a good guild necessarily

#

there's plenty of guilds at your level

young swan
#

if i say the reason im gonna sound pathetic

proper roost
#

at the end of the day it's an mmorpg

#

creating a social network requires

#

time

#

kind of the whole point

#

of the genre

lusty grotto
#

learn how to dps if possible, most guilds usually have tanks locked kind of, so if youre versatile in that regard you might have more options

young swan
#

you really have 7100 haste ?

#

how is that possible ?

lusty grotto
#

no i dont

#

its not possible

#

its just for people asking about haste caps

young swan
#

oh ok

lusty grotto
#

well technically it is possible with trinket procs but still

#

its more like a pin cause people keep asking about it

young swan
#

i see

lavish sphinx
#

I’ve found good guilds on wow forums - just say why you have to offer and they’ll pitch themselves to you

proper roost
#

but ye also

#

is like

#

week 15

#

if you're resubbing in the middle, middle late of a season, then people are taking breaks

#

pretty straightforward imo

crude notch
ionic fern
#

Sorry, our world rank 2000 guild needs you to have at least 3 other tanks geared for progress.

lusty grotto
#

LOL

lavish sphinx
#

😂

#

Maybe OCE is more forgiving

proper roost
#

nah that's just really uncommon

ionic fern
#

Some of the guilds i've tried to join in the past legit have said that to me.

proper roost
#

for sure

ionic fern
#

It's wild.

proper roost
#

they're def outliers tho

ionic fern
#

Idk, i'd also like to think that the people queing their +20 keys asking for meta comps only are outliers ...

proper roost
#

apples to oranges comparison tbh

ionic fern
#

🤷
People think like that.
Top guilds/people do it..so we must do it also.

proper roost
#

but ya i'd say those aren't that common either tbh i've gotten in +20s on my rsham plenty of times since exodia happened

#

or on my warrior dpsing

#

they're def outliers

#

it's just easy to hold confirmation bias about how common they are

#

especially since people holding out for god comp for a +20 will just sit in queue longer

#

while everyone else just fills and finishes their key

#

so you just see the occasional group like that more often

#

it's all just human biases

#

mixed in with a bunch of bad guilds, who aren't the norm

opaque quest
#

All the keys i play with 4 exodia speccs in my grp go to shit because ppl think zug zug meta class easy time

#

I rather have 3 hunters and a r sham. At least they put in effort

lusty grotto
#

speaking about biases

#

lets talk about generalizing

😁

proper roost

Generalize dn

lusty grotto

true and real

all of my content creators that i watch have taken a hiatus

anyone have something i can watch on the yoo toobs today at work

pref not streamer content

lusty grotto
#

i was looking at potential audio books the other day

proper roost
#

I'm very bad with audiobooks

#

I cannot really listen to something and comprehend it without devoting 100% attention to it

#

idk if people just deal with it or my brain sucks

lusty grotto
#

hmm... my problem is i tend to kinda day dream it

#

but its good for idle time

proper roost
#

Every time I try and listen to an audiobook I just cut out entirely after like an hour at best

#

i think once I tried to listen to the first dune audiobook and I maybe got like 15 minutes in before calling it

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

i mean youre not wrong

#

but then again you would have the same problem with any youtube stuff

proper roost
#

naw idk i tend to pay more attention when theres a visual medium involved also

#

i dont watch like hour long youtube videos, those mostly* suck

#

maybe i should just watch a movie

#

friday so legit nothing to do at office

opaque quest
#

Time for a kenny vs spenny marathon

lavish sphinx
#

Any unorthodox macros you guys recommend? Had a SS and SB macro recommended which I quite like

#

Saw a Prot Pally one for BOP and cancel BOP

lusty grotto
#

just macro it to everything

#

/cancelaura Blessing of Protection

#

i have it on for SS/TC/Revenge mostly

#

so just about every attack

#

and remember SS+SB macro should not replace SS in your bars

#

just like IP+SS shouldn't either

lavish sphinx
#

Why not replace them?

lusty grotto
#

because youre not supposed to be spamming those to SS

#

the goal of both of those macros is to use primarily SB and IP, not to SS

#

its to consume a SS proc if it happens

#

but its not to SS outside of those cases

#

otherwise you will rage starve fast

#

and/or use SB charges when there's nothing happening

lavish sphinx
#

I see, I’ve not really had a problem with it yet tbh

#

I’m only just at +20s though

lusty grotto
#

you are having a problem with it

#

you just dont realize it

#

if youre using that macro to replace your SS bind

lavish sphinx
#

So really it means fewer revenges and executes

lusty grotto
#

amongst other things

proper roost
#

it means you have block not up a lot of the time during a key

#

because you're just randomly sending it at the end of a pack

#

or things like that

#

Nome or someone mentioned they checked logs of someone who just macroed SB and they had 83% blocked hits

#

Extremely bad

lavish sphinx
#

I’ve found uptime has improved given I’m using LS and SC as well

lusty grotto
#

i mean thats not related

#

you should be using those

#

it doesnt matter if youre spamming a macro thats being used for unintended reasons

#

those macros are to consume an SS proc asap

#

NOT to SS

#

outside of those scenarios

#

their primary use is to cast SB or IP

lavish sphinx
#

So better to not use those macros then? I don’t want to over complicate things so it’s one or the other for me

lusty grotto
#

you use them

#

but you still need a key for SS

#

you use them when you need to SB

#

or when you need to dump rage on IP

#

but if you need to SS, you need to press SS, not those macros

proper roost
#

you use them but on dedicated IP/Sblock keys

#

Not on your rotational keys

pallid quiver
lavish sphinx
#

Right, so replace the SB and IP keybinds

#

I see

pallid quiver
#

And have a non macro SS bind, yeah

#

You still need binds for all 3

lusty grotto
#

well he was asking about cancelaura

#

so the SS key would be a macro

lavish sphinx
#

I was just using that as an example

pallid quiver
#

oh it's not the usual question?

lusty grotto
#

just a cast Shield Slam and cancelaura Blessing of Protection thing

pallid quiver
#

I literally am in bed so I missed the convo apparently

lusty grotto
#

but that would be your SS key

#

its not doing anything else that would consume rage or stacks of SB

pallid quiver
#

I'mma go back to that bed thing since I don't have full context; I trust Nim and all to talk it through

lusty tiger
#

I have lots of high %blocked hits logs using sb macrod to my ss and tc, but it’s not for everyone to do

#

It just works for me

lusty grotto
#

"lots" can mean anything

lusty tiger
#

Ok tru

#

Good argument

lusty grotto
#

are you 95%+ with it?

lusty tiger
#

94%

lusty grotto
#

well

#

there you go 😎

lusty tiger
#

Even top warriors aren’t that high sometimes because of the way you have to pull

#

But nbd

lavish sphinx
#

So replace the SB and IP binds with the macros and leave SS standalone

opaque quest
#

If you have high enough APM you dont need the macros at all

lusty tiger
#

Well the macro helps me have higher apm because it’s less to pay attention to

lusty grotto
#

and those macros will help consume an SS proc if it happens while youre using those abilities

opaque quest
#

APM =/ EAPM

lusty tiger
#

Ya all my top keys s1 are between 91-94% blocked hits and raid has some 100% some not lol

lusty grotto
#

well then youre good

#

but certainly not something that we will recommend to do to people asking for help

#

its bad play

lusty tiger
#

Yea I make sure not to recommend here

lusty grotto
#

but if it works for you, it works for you

lusty tiger
#

Jakey is worried that if they lower warrior block uptime it gives you really bad habits

#

Which is true

lusty grotto
#

yeah 100%

jagged pier
#

Well they dont even need to do that

#

Just bugf rav through the roof

#

U dont take sc anymore

lusty tiger
#

Yeah that would do it

jagged pier
#

Look remeber last expansion before reprisal

lusty tiger
#

I wouldn’t mind switching back if needed if it became like slands uptime again

jagged pier
#

The best u could do

#

Was 75%

#

U really had to manage it correctly

#

Even after repirsal a lot of ppl still didnt even get to 75% through not pressing buttons and managing SB correctly

#

And managing rage rtc etc

lusty tiger
#

I mean you could get over 80% w reprisal

jagged pier
#

U could get way higher with rep

lavish sphinx
#

Something you guys have come across before?

lusty grotto
#

in the past effective uptime was more important

#

as in, blocking when you were getting hit

#

only

jagged pier
#

Yer im talking blocked hits

#

Not uptime

jagged pier
lusty grotto
#

yeah just clarifying for him

lavish sphinx
#

The macros question

lusty grotto
#

oh

yeah it has come up

proper roost

basically just remember that you are one of millions of people playing the game

#

Interesting to uncover the history of this discord

proper roost
#

no question is ever unique

#

esp when it comes to how to play

#

or macros or w/e

#

that's why people recommend using searchbar

lusty tiger
lusty grotto
#

its ok to ask

proper roost
#

It's good imo. Other games there is a big lack of resources

#

But for wow there is always an answer because someone has done it before u

#

and if you're really doing something new you're playing at the top 0.1%

#

And at the bleeding edge

#

so since you're not 3500 io pwar or w/e, literally any question you have has already been answered somewhere

#

this one trash pack owns you? someone asked about it 100%

#

Has nothing to do with "this discord," it's true in literally every class disc

jagged pier
#

Well even 3500 get stuff wrong

#

They are starting to reach out more to nome tho
