if you play with friends u straight up dont have to heal outside of specific fights
and if you're overgeared those fights don't actually require you to manage cds correctly for a while
it rules
Yup, and excluding certain pulls this season, hpal is kinda crazy
i think i'm just gonna wait til i'm 725 or so to push, should only be a week or so
I’m starting the push on my 728 mage tonight 
to what io? title?
Hopefully
Do you have a team
Gotta pug a 5th
Ik a team that runs arcane, its a bit hard in some dungeons like fg
Should be able to find some pumper lone wolfs
Nice gl
guess i should start guild search
r you gonna do that 2/8 mythic pug @coarse bay
if not nbd, I think i'm gonna plan on not getting mythic loot
Idk i wont be home for a few days still
all good enjoy ur holiday
Friend* search
nah i gotta rat into a guild for some heroic loot 😔
err...
for the boots and healer trinket and that's it

Lots of heroic pugs, especially if you don't need 8/8
heroic pugs have everyone who rolls on the boots
gotta get into established group that is 20 weeks in so i can rat them to myself

Why not just rat yourself a pair of mythic boots then?
Idk do guilds still do hero? Or even play?

You can join my guild
Can i
yes
Is it active
Most guilds do hero what you mean
sure
I havent done hero as a guild since like week 2
well, that was the plan
but then this happened and I did not expect to suck so bad at ele 
Hes not laughing at you
(I got knocked off the platform on soulbinder)
What if I told you, most guilds are in fact not curved 
Idk its the time of season where a lot of people quit, especially casuals. Aotc guild is full of casuals so id assume a ton of them quit
Meh
You only need 10 warm bodies
AotC guilds, or normal->HC tier guilds, usually play till the end
Those guilds need more than 10 bodies
We just think everyone does CE and +18s. Vast, vast majority of players are barely aotc and barely 3k. Class discord ppl have perceptions fucked up cause we’re usually gamer gamers.
i guaruntee you 10 warm bodies will feel like soloing a fight
the ideal situation for me unironically would be to rat into a 6/8M guild that isn't extending, get the loot, the guild falls apart
that would fucking rule
We are the top 10% dividing ourselves into another set of 1 and 99%
not possible tho i think especially with those dogshit logs 💀
Yup. Sister guild is still progging Dimmy heroic.
No im aware that the “top” end is the minority by a lot. Ive been in casual guilds and they all simmer out half way through season from experience
Like ik that anyone on discord isnt average
Sort by bracket, show it then

That sucks. If you’re a casual guild, you should have a standard set as casual.
Idk
Youre already above average whether u agree or not
The average gamer doesnt m+ or raid
im pretty average in every aspect uwu
People forgot how to have fun. I love my guild and the fact most of them are 20 yrs older than me and have grandkids lmao
By the fact that you are on this discord, shows you have more interest than 99% of players :P
thats not what she said
is that good or bad
Stfu pash you are NOT average lmao
not anymore xdd
can you even change it to ilvl bracket on the primary page
idk it's literally been 2 years since i looked at wcl character page
Yes
You’re a goat Pash
Top right
Cammy a bracket lover
Key icon
my ilvl parse is actually lower because I have a pure healer trinket on LOL
Yes
Top right
so my ilvl is incredibly inflated for my dps
I’m trying to distract myself from taking down Christmas decorations 
i'm 715 rn, one more week and i'm 725 
just need to remember to grab a dps trinket
Dps trinket? For heals?!
Yes but they have a different flavor of autism than me
They keybind every class seperately
Eegads
What 12s do you still need @proper roost
No I am trying to get into a guild as ele, but I have a pure healing trinket on so my ilvl is inflated for the dps i'm doing
my ilvl parse is lower than my overall parse
which is sad as hell lmao
Only ara-kara and the 2 tazavesh keys
ara-kara is cursed (literally 2 keys bricked cuz of d/c right before key finish smh)
tazavesh is easy i think just no pugs want to do them
AK should be free
I can see what key my hunter has after work. War has eco
But people make it far harder than it needs to be
👍
I should watch video for AK 3rd boss
I do not know how to dodge burrow charge efficiently

Stand at range to bait and then just use gust of wind or wolfie form to dodge
I only play my war once a week now anyway 
keyge
Skyhold key group?!
I feel like this can't be optimal because it makes mdps lose giga uptime
from the boss charging across the fkin room
You can't dodge it if youre close
I’m down, can bring Mage for hero if needed
i would not recommend that
i'm playing rsham, it's fine
Why is that
dont worry about it
Then why the fuck did you say anything
dont worry about it
Dawnbreaker is pretty chill for everyone BUT the healer so
Skyhold keygroups are best groups
For sure
Literally had to spam HS the last guy i had in a 13
through the spider guy in the chapel that does the big fear smash
@chilly brook was there i believe. Idk if he's the right griff
I lose track of name changes
You guys know what time you'll be around this evening @proper roost @jade hazel ?
after 6 est give or take 15, should be available til rest of night
Ok I'll be around well before then so just ping me when you're ready. Hopefully hunter will get 1 of the 3 keys
👍
I'll be home starting around 3:15 est today. And I already binged the new stranger things episodes so I'm good 
@undone beacon come tank for us
Saaaaame
my boss told me i had work today 5 minutes before i left on wednesday
Gross
It ruled
I cried last night idc
And then when he saw my expression instantly go 😠 he was like
Stranger Things hits different
"I mean, you don't HAVE to come." but in that specific manager voice where it was like
I'm hyped for the finale. Wish there was people here to go with
I told my wife this last night
I've been fortunate that I've never worked somewhere without a set schedule
Are you going to the theater for the finale @jade hazel ?
Hell yeah
I saw the Spider Man multiverse in theaters the second one by Netflix and it was the best movie I’ve ever seen in theaters
I don't know if I will. Feels weird to go by myself lol.
So I know Netflix knows how to produce it well for a theater
You don't live in Kansas city by chance do you lol
Nah man there’s going to be so many other stranger things nerds there and everyone’s going to be crying
It’s going to be a moment
it rules to go to the theater by yourself imo
Yeah my friend has pool league that night or I know he'd go
I just went to get lunch but if there’s a group later I’m happy to help
Just buy some giga overpriced popcorn and chill, it's a good meditative time
Yaaaaas
Looks like we'll all be around about 7 est
I should go for knives out 🤔
i would go to the movies with u ghash 😔 the best part is post-movie waffle house where u yap about movie
this is a law and tradition. i don't make the rules
No one lives here it's ok
moving to a tent in ghash's backyard
midwestern ass
Ikr
Wicked, I can tank or dps but fair warning im a little rusty
Kanga made me tank a 12 priory when I haven't done a non remix key on any character in like 2 months, so I get it
And by made me I mean she was like hey wanna tank this and I said ok
forced, coerced, blackmailed even
I have a strong distrust of pugs so I'm very much the tank who does as big/fast of pulls as I think they can handle
And no more
for me this is the start of the season so i still need to limit test every pull
and low keys so not stressed yet
It's ok wind rush totem rushing the tank isn't that toxic
it's only for the knowers
I never really push because I have imposter syndrome. My highest keys are like 14s that I did incidentally
that's why healing owns. people just tell you to come to keys and then you just passively accrue io
That's why my hunter's score is higher XD
and then you eventually hard brick a key and they never ask you to come again

but they keep u on friendslist... so i have like 10 high io key people rn that i can't talk to
Awkward
the desperation ex call angle
yes
Gamers
thinking on it, it is really funny that healer pressing wrt/stampeding roar/etc is like
a universal signal for tank to go faster
Ngl didn't even notice you used it 
it's always really funny to see when I drop a WRT on a tank they're like "oh shit i could just keep going"
that's what keeps it non toxic, it's low key
if I drop a WRT on a bad tank they dont even know what it means
I was locked in making sure I wasn't falling over to shit. Felt bad for the dk on that one pull though. I had full blown stroke trying to target the mob he peeled and couldn't XD
NOT THAT I'M SAYING UR A BAD TANK
you just hadn't done keys in 2 months
u would recognize it if you weren't rusty
OH SHIT THERE IT IS
revealed power level too early fuCK
Its crazy how fast rust builds up in this game
Nah I would have noticed for sure normally lol. I did turn my addons back on for that though. Fortunately the base ui setup didn't really do anything to my normal ui
It feels foreign to play
Just had to reverse some action bars
does it idk. maybe my brain is broken
I logged onto my warrior for like 2 minutes to show off some heroic leap stuff and it was just locked in
The muscle memory sticks with me but it's more just the constant looking at different pieces of information I have to readjust to.
I did forget how to like. look at omnicc and shit
but that comes back pretty quickly. also idk if i'll enable omnicc or not rn
Probably have to for 3.5
Just a little bit of lost muscle memory, i had to actually think for things
if i had the same exact ui setup as when i quit, i'd be giga locked in
i just had to redo my entire ui and it's really thrown together atm
I did undersend execute in that run though tbh. Only did like 5.2 overall
I feel that, relatable
up until last night I had all combat text EXCEPT outgoing healing turned off
which is the most useless shit ever 
for the last 2 weeks i've been like "wow i need to remember to enable combat text for incomign damage so i know wtf is hitting me"
I don't have combat text for incoming damage. I don't think i even knew that was a thing
uh
useless for tanks imo (i have it on for ability dmg only on tanks)
rly useful for nontank i think
I have always just focused on hey this mechanic is gonna hurt so I press button
Like if I fail to press a defensive or a health potion for a mechanic it's because all that shit is on cd XD
Really good while you're learning keys as a healer/dps to know whether you're getting meleed or just a random shoot I think
I dont have any numbers on
the hate i recieve for playing tank makes me quit the game.
Any similar experiences?
M+ is hella toxic it seems.
Tanks are easy to blame and mistakes are most noticeable
Hmm, not really. I've had maybe 2 or 3 times since M+ came out in Legion that someone has said something rude to me
In s1 or s2 (can't remember), someone said I was the worst tank they'd ever seen in Cinderbrew. First time ever doing the dungeon and my friend made me do it on +12 so I had no idea what I was doing
its usually a "tank doesnt know what they're doing" from a dps who is doing negative damage and ignoring every mechanic so, meh
The nice thing is that as a tank, you can leave a key and get into a new one super fast
Yesterday in a Dawnbreaker +12 after the first miniboss i wanted to do the pack in the cathedral and my whole group abandoned me, flying to the 3rd miniboss and i died alone at that pack.
The whole group flamed me.
thats fucking rough
lmao
It happens. I got flamed in a beta key the other day for not knowing the pulls.
no jokes, just ignore chat for everything in pug keys
it's kinda hard cuz u have to learn to tune things out selectively; if someone says "brb wait" you should legit wait but if anyone is trying to say any criticism, you can read it after the key
Or even returning dungeons because not everyone played in x expansion
It's rly hard to learn this skill but its super useful in wow imo
The other two i can think of are in a freehold in dragonflight, a guy asked what the fuck the tank (me) was doing. I genuinely have no idea what his issue was so I just responded I'm doing your fucking mother and moved on. We timed it.
Just remember that if you're seeking to self improve you're already top percentile of tanks and if you're doing 12s you are in like top 15ish% of entire M+ population? like you're doing fine, people typically just don't know what they're talking about
And then in a vault in legion, first time bursting existed, I got blamed for the group dying to a pack of kobolds that bursted (not sure how that was something I could do anything about). That is also the only key I have ever left without someone else leaving first.
But I agree with Kanga. If it's constructive I'll listen to it. If it's just rudeness I'm ignoring it and moving on (or making a sarcastic reply and moving on)
recently it seems like every dps has a better route in mind and my one is absolutely shit (i timed every key as 12 and eco dome as 14) and they just want to use me as a puppet.
I never had any issues with players pushing my Frost DK to 3k rating but on warrior it feels like heavy duty to even come online and play.
ya dps/healer you don't really cop that much
But I mean, that's the flip side. As tank you have the highest agency in keys
what helped me when I was doing initial pushes in previous seasons as tank is to just actively add any healers that i thought weren't throwing
if you're just playing with ONE other person, even if you're not on comms, it's a big morale boost imo
it is kinda scary/awkward to dm people after a key and say "hey, i do a lot more keys, wanna add me for future?" but if they ignore you w/e
and if they dont, then you can just dm them in future and it can feel better to queue with someone 👍
(if you actually want to push high, this is a really good skill to practice being awkward at now!)
i think it's safe to say literally every tank has felt this tho. It's a big responsibility and so you get the flame if people think you mess that responsibility up, even if you didn't
yeah i should probably do that.
But since my encounters with these players (i never abandoned that much keys before or even just left them) im performing so much worse.
Pushing everything up to 12 worked like a charm but now i feel like my performance went down by like 70% and i constantly feel like alt f4'ing the game because it makes me feel like shit
It’s end of expac and a lot of the people youre probably playing with have much more ego than skill
yeah rn anyone who's doing anything more than weekly vault is like navigating massive landmine field of ego
its my first time tanking in m+ ever. doing it for like 1,5 weeks now and i thought i was doing fine lol
You probably are
If you're already at 3k io after 2 weeks that's really good!
like I said, that's top 15% of m+ population
But yea at end of season you won't really get chill people typically in 13s and stuff.
This is real af. Though I wish Kanga would speak to me
instead she just drops WRT on me in a toxic fashion.
Adding people really helps though I guarantee
You optimally want to m+ from earlier on, because then youre playing/progressing with other people that are trying to progress. Most people still low io right now that arent alts are probably hard stuck
💀 toxic rush totem
ye thats probably true.
Last time i played was tww s1 and now i came back to the game because my buddy talked me into it.
Hooked me with legion remix and now im farming m+ on 2 chars again >.>
no idea, i'm actively avoiding midnight class change info
i don't care about balance til like week of release
i'll just level whatever is looking fotm for heals 
as long as it's not prevoker
Unfortunately ever since like turbo boost, the low-mid m+ player base has been less fun to be around
Not prevoker is based af
I wish the community had just collectively decided to never play it when it came out until they made it 40yd
after pushing my fdk to 3k i really bruteforced getting out of the low-key area asap with the warrior lol.
It's just pure suffering lol
Same here. They are awkward/clunky
It's the same as channeled spells, which are also awkward especially if your ping spikes
At least most channeled spells have that small window at the end where you won't lose a tick though. Makes it slightly better.
ehh, problem is this late in the season, 13-14s etc are really low too and have similarly poor attitude people
No idea where it'd get better but it's more of a late season problem than a specific key range problem imo
It doesn't
The problem goes all the way up into title
Even at 19/20 keys, it's hell
highest i did was the 14 eco.
im not confident enough yet to go higher lol
I think most people end up quitting M+ pushing because they don't find teams
Not a bad one to try higher though. Eco is pretty chill, although the teleporting mobs can suck my ass
or, rather, what I mean is plenty of people who have the ability and desire to push quite high
I quit M+ and I'm not sure if I can be bothered coming back for Midnight after hitting 19 resil cause I've come to realise the time sink just isn't worth it
quit cuz no team and people without teams end up having way more of a laissez faire attitude
You spend a huge amount of time putting together a key
and then it fails in first pull
people whisper you offering gold for just an attempt
ara kara trauma for me
The whole note bullshit is easily enough of a reason for them to remove resil keys ngl.
Anyway, I would just try to remember why you wanted to tank on your warrior to begin with, what drew you to it
and try to remember that feeling when you queue
You have tank privilege when it comes to forming/joining teams though, why pug?
and add ppl you think aren't absolute shitters
they can be SORTA bad it's ok!!
You will always have keen bean friends who just aren't good enough at a certain level, so you either play with absolute no life degens who are just socially inept
I mean, we’ll have rewards for doing +20 in midnight so there will be an incentive there. Idk how comparable midnights +20s to tww +20s though. Because DFs +20s are our like what? +12s now?
Cause you're only as good to someone as long as there's score for them
There's no friends in high keys
agree tbh
True, but if youre grinding enough as a team, you stay the io option
That difference was only because they squished key scaling
But that depends heavily if the team are all aligned on goals, which most of the times its not
if my rsham gets high io again like in DF, people will start DMing me off my friends list, before that, i don't exist to them 
just is what it is
my 'team' just sat back and waited till I got the next resil key up, and then I'd spend hours getting them through my resil keys, no fucking thanks
Ya there’s all kinds of team drama and people moving on but pugging title just sounds so tilting
That isnt a team then lol
We’re getting a squish though so I thought it would coincide a bit
their excuse was that they didn't want to 'dps queue'
It should stay relatively the same. It has through past squishes that didn't involve key scaling
Sounds like a group of people all pugging… instead of playing together
Why queue separately if you are a team? Isn't that the point?
I think the term, 'teamwork' is kinda lost on majority of the community, people just want to be carried and not put the work in, sorry but that's been my experience from Legion to Now
Anyway @left scarab one thing that rly helped me get over the "adding people is kinda awkward" thing is realizing that if anyone is even doing keys above 12, they are also dealing with the exact same bullshit as you, and they ALSO want to push keys to some io
Obviously not the tank anxiety, but good DPS all struggle with getting into keys, good healers struggle to find a consistent tank, etc. so the vast vast majority of people you reach out to will be keen on doing more keys
You might not be on the same page with where you land on io, but that's ok
You need better friends man
I mean there are actual m+ teams tho, u didnt have a team lol
true, it's why I don't play anymore
WoW also doesn't respect our times
U had friends that wanted to push and leech
playing Fellowship opened my eyes to that
but then Fellowship is also filled with people who just want to be carried
I really genuinely will never understand people will get in VC for the dumbest shit cs2 or among us but won’t hop in VC for wow
But still, even in pugging the point remains, if you have a good key run, let's say you time an 18 Flood, people will just type 'gg' and leave
No one wants to communicate
no one wants to play together
The individualistic culture of wow is the only thing I really really have a distain for
i mean i think its a very salient point that you can have a team of friends all u want but to actually find a team of friends that 1) are all similar skill levels and 2) have the same time availability 3) have the same willingness to push 4) play the appropriate specs
It's actually a giga unicorn lol
idk i think the best mentality is to remember that at any given time you are the best player in the group
Thank you!
you will never not be the best player there
Wow should be like, the most team work community building game ever
you just have to accept that pushing with friends is really difficult to pull off idk
It really isn't though
Should be though
Ya, unfortunately friends dont often make a good team, but a good team can become friends.
yeah playing with friends is not something i would recommend
Friends I tried to drag through 17 and up this season, and they tried both dps and healers
Finding/forming/joining a team isnt something you do in a friend circle unless theyre at your level, willing to reroll, and vibe
and they just couldn't do it, they just couldn't do the content no matter how hard they tried
It’s a networking thing outside of normal circles
They were either doing half the dmg or let people die in healing - and it's heartbreaking cause they're your friends, and you know they're letting the team down, and they know they're letting the team down
in all honesty it sort of feels more like having work colleagues. i see the same friends pushing every season and there's a rotating list of friends in their teams. It's not like they're not friendly with their teams, or don't get along... it's that, like pom said, they're there for 1 thing
Pushing takes so much time even with a team that if you're no longer pushing you're not in the circle
I remember a group of guys who were like, yeah let's do 19s, we blasted em, I had to go away for a weekend for work, I got replaced instantly
Like I said, no friends in high keys sadly
and thats totally fine
I don't really think it's that different from a mythic raid team either idk. I have a few CE friends I could reach out to for a guild but as soon as I quit those are not necessarily friends anymore 
I mean as long as youre ahead of the title curve, tanks should be able to find plenty of teams
I have so many people on my friends list that are just there lol
ive made a few friends with those guys
I like to key with friends but haven't had a group that tried to push since like...shadowlands s2?
and then people go "oh you know (x) so surely you must be good"
(i'm not)
(but it works)
you say so Cammy, but go into any 'community' and it's just filled with recruitment posts of 'Aww hey guys, I'm here to push 16 and above!' and they haven't even got 3k yet
It isnt through communities
i don't think it's the biggest problem in the world either idk. Not a big issue that wow friends end up just being wow friends
first mistake is using community
Its word of mouth
I don't, but for anyone who thinks it's a good idea LOL
Or people post but don't reach out to other posts, or people post and then don't reply to replies. I think it's just exhausting for people to be the "leader" mostly
Like ik in the oce title scene, there’s blacklisted tanks that wont get taken because they run the most demonic routes
MPF isn't immune to that. It's the same shit.
Everyone wants to do high keys, everyone thinks they watch Kira do a 19 Flood, and they go - YEAH I CAN DO THAT TOO! And don't realise how many hours upon hours, of just pulling after pulling, they did to finally time it
ah
nvm then lol
i think the ultimate strategy is just develop an ego
its the only way tbqh
How is that a strategy
I really dislike people bringing up kira mdi routes and tech as an argument for any normal m+ content
makes it easier to do keys mentally
Nah the ultimate strategy, is to become a WoW streamer, who doesn't clean their room, and turn into a radically political content creator 💀
As if they arent 5 of the best players in the world grinding 15+ hours a day to make that happen
topical
I disagree. An ego just means you're never going to admit when you're the problem. That's literally the majority of pug players as it is.
this is why nimchip and his friends will not play abiotic factor with me btw 😔
yeah but you only do it in the pugs
You will develop parasocial relationships with people in wow and you will like it
because you have to know that puggers know nothing
The amount of shit, I saw in high keys this season, I really wonder how people get out of bed in the morning sometimes LOL
Why do I have to know that? They're people just like me...
are they
I had that happen with a pug healer I met last season and then she would get upset when I didn’t do keys with her
i had that same mentality once
Are you serious?
i can't unlearn seeing mythic raid guilds as just work colleagues tbh
Then she quit wow and blocked me on discord but gave me her email in case I ever wanted to talk
i just dont listen to things people have to say in pugs
based LOL
jesus christ LOL
oh i had a girlfriend like that once
xd
yeah it was a wild time
You're supposed to give anyone who talks to you all of your attention even if you barely know them pash
xdd
what wedding
lol, sorry gotta pug that day
does pash have game
Can I dress in drag though?
It's easy actually. You just log in after a 2 year break and start messaging everyone on your friendslist with io to carry you through keys
works 50% of the time every time
Damn, you have your priorities in order I’m proud
This is a requirement
Sold
Yes
hmm
I've never dressed in drag before but always wanted to do it at someone's wedding. Idk what that says about me.
tbf, there is something amazing about dragging someone to 3k, and they're just so happy, it's a genuine chicken soup for the soul type of feeling
Wigs exist
I have a problem where i wont reach out to them until ive gotten comparable in prog, and by the time i get somewhat respectable ive stopped caring. So i have people i havent spoken to since legion
And I'd have to wear one anyway as I'm bald af
Well m+
If you are doing it for the shits and giggles with people you're close with then its funny and cool, if you're doing it to take away from the bride and groom's big day then thats not cool. Simple as
I had a team in legion for m+ and i dont even remember their names :3
i have a guy on my bnet that I've had added since wotlk, raided with him in cata and got him rogue legendary daggers, we have not spoken since that guild dissolved in 1st tier of wod
Theyre still somewhere on my friends list
I love doing this for friends or random. Though I've had to hold friends off because they wanted me and others to try to skull drag multiple people at once
Oh for sure. I would do it tastefully and with permission ofc
I remember I had a 19 key or something, and this guy in my comm was desperate for an attempt, plays ret paladin, moaning on and on about how he never gets into keys - and I put the key up in LFG, and a 4k io player requested to join, and I was soooooo close to booting the ret paladin, and he was the one who caused the bricking LOL
Oof
Oh i have someone i went to highschool with that reached out to me for raiding because they stalked my logs
I'd like to stalk your logs
I was going to use the eyebrows emoji but forgot skyhold doesn't like fun
Skyhold is very anti fun ya
I used to stalk a guy who used to moan about my tanking throughout the entire run, and everytime I look him up on rio, he's only just got resi 16
and I sit back, look out in the sun, and smile
I have resi 14s on my hunter, nbd
hey guys looking for a good warrior race with good looks and good racials ? ? any thoughts ?? thinkging about going allaince
Hold autograph requests pls
nah but this guy was a backseat tank, and then he said I was so bad, I should switch to Fury
maybe nimchip will do keys with me again in s1 midnight
Looks is very much preference, i like velf. Only races with actual use is nelf for meld or one of the dwarves
dwarf
Dwarf is the best but it's not important. Kul Tirans look the best imo
Their heritage armor is fire
dwarf looks good
Dwarf > everything
thanks guys
My warrior has been several races
Don't listen to us tho
I changed my warr from dwarf to nelf last season for skips, and then they added the pot
I actually love the Tauren, being a big moosey is hella cool
He was a vulpera, then a troll, then a mechagnome, then undead, and now dwarf
what about a earthern ? ?
I bought a pack of faction changes years back and have just used them to meme change my warrior's race multiple times
Nah idc about the racial
I think dwarves look cool too. And they have 2nd best heritage
earthen looks super cool but their buff is meh
i guess eating gems instead of food is good but like
@sullen trellis just make a trial character for each one, run around and look at their animations
thats an idea
yeah i have to stoneform every time i do an ara kara
healers just cant do that dungeon
I had to use it in prio or I was dead. Kanga can't be trusted
Jkjk I felt giga safe on that boss
stone form to avatar
wait what do you cleanse on priory
First boss bleed
Did u go left side
Oh yeah the divine judgment thing
yeah, but it tickles compared to last season
Yeah I always go left
I love taking black blood off me in Flood
No divine judgment is just magic
I have no idea what divine judgment does tbh but i'm glad it has a castbar
Left side is so bad
that shit trucks
The main boss's tank mechanic is a bleed
It feels sick as hell when u insta dispel
It doesnt really hurt
It makes you take 25% more damage and hits like a truck
Divine judgment that is, not the bleed
The problem is when u go left side youre dealing with 2 busters
insta dispelling the lockdown in streets of tazavesh feels dope as hell
same thing
has a castbar
rules.
Yeah I mean, left is just what I'm used to and is a bit more pug friendly on the boss. I can handle myself on the boss going left but I can't do all the kicks going right
I mean.. that's a dps issue 😂 they gon learn
Plus it was only a 12 so it's kind of whatever
Left side has way more casters
I know
And they buffed the left side miniboss 🙁
But on a 12 they arent 1 shotting people and I had a good healer
I wish they kept them balanced and gave options
I've just never gone right before except once as dps. And not having played in 2 months I wasn't about to try something new XD
anyway, back to Hogwarts, cya lads
Later skater
30s kick cd is crazy
I'm actually pretty sure that's the same as rdruid kick
no wait, it's not. but rdruid kick requires a form shift which is annoying as fuck
Demo lock is the only 30 sec cd kick currently
it probably won't even lock out for any longer than wind shear does rn, which is like 1s
I am pretty sure virtually every kick had at least 2 seconds added to its lockout
Yep
i race swapped to drac not too long ago, i like it
i'm with cam on this one, I hate the scalies
I like the racial knockback with wing buffet, plus the glide for knockback cancel is pretty slick
I just got tired of heroic leap being disabled by goblin rocket jump racial
Plus now i can have a character thats a cutie pie, though goblins are already cutie pies
I'll miss u
You'll miss the birth of my firstborn
Female goblins are great w how sassy they are, horrible mogs tho
And rocket jump has gotten power creeped like crazy by base mobility skills in the game
look at what they did to how op rocket jump was 😔
idk what you're talking about this is peak
why would you do this. cover up hussy
My priest goblin has a Big Hat
there aren't enough Big Hat transmogs in the game
Tiny character Big Hat is the best trope
Looking
yeah of course yam would be into that. frickin br*tish
goblin slutmogs are how i got my current gf okay
they're powerful
Goblins and gnomes are cool
When the race changing thingy gets placed ill keep stepping on it till gnome when im raiding
Gnome warrior is a vibe, especially fury warrior
i despise transmogs on short characters lmao
Same
shes such a cutie tho
Think the green has more to do with it than anything tbh
I love Goblins and I adored Undermine. Wish it wasn’t just a mid expac thing that will forever be forgotten about in the pits of Kezan
The raid was whatever but just the vibes and aesthetics were beyond cool to me
Have the soundtrack on my Spotify too lol
Undermine was mid and i interacted with it to a minimum level
Super good season though
I’m a sucker for 50s nuclear vibe stuff
I loved undermined as a proud goblin enjoyer
Fantastic soundtrack, a zone FULL of little details and secrets, exclusive dialogue for goblins, a fun car to drive around in
It’s a seriously slept on race
Just a fantastic time
1% haste increase is actually really solid and I love the rocket jump
Its just a shame that using the rocket jump disables leap for 10 seconds
I need a coalition of Vulpera and Goblin players to ask for Transmog to allow us to toggle ears on and off
That was what did me in and made me swap to drac
Only thing that I really don’t like about those races, ears ruin some pretty epic mogs
that is a hot take
i love my vulpera's wacky giant ears
the way some hats allow for the ears is excellent (very annoying it is not all hats)
I care so little for like open world or anything, im just in dungeons
So i didnt appreciate it properly
Mostly I like vulpera cuz it is gigantic ratchet and clank vibes tho, specifically on bomb hunter

my nostalgia!!
How is it a hot take to have an option to turn them off or on
idk I like the ears 😔
okay fair
Female goblin has the greatest feign death animation in the game. That's why my hunter is female goblin XD
I want them to clip through everything very annoyingly and be very silly
The dumbest shit in the world is when helms hide horns. Like there'll be a highmountain Tauren with a full ass moose rack and you put a helm on and they what, enter a pocket dimension?
My tauren always be wearing eye patches, can't hide the glory
💀
damn now i wish vulpera racials didn't suck ass
I love the goofy ahh ears
dumb ass ratchet and clank lookin race
My dk was vulpera until I conformed to the meta
Okay but the male goblin feign where they fucking like, do a spin in the air as they die is so fucking goofy too I love it
I'm a fan of engineering goggles but im also a fan of tinker type shit so
No there’s like actual glasses
yeah I know I know
I used a red bandana for a long time too
And i rocked the engineering goggles from wod until i got the marshal hat from garrison
yeah i used to use the bandana a lot
I usually end up using the mechagon goggles since they arent engi locked, or an eyepatch
Ya anything that can be used with any look is just good
Plus it's a proven fact looking more like a pirate > not looking like a pirate
🤔
Truth
yea idk being a live service game content creator has to be some kind of hell
i perfer my creators to be degens but not click baiters
I mean very very few live service games are. WoW is actually one of the decently large live service games where you can, even
guys did you know bear S++ tier all other tanks F-- tier for midnight
wheres my check
u should see the view counts for videos like this on other live service games
even with it being really low on WoW
it's cartoonishly low on others, relative to the frequency of output
Ya i mean live service games are just bad for it unless its the hip new thing
Idk, I mean, so are any other games. Outside of being an already huge variety streamer, there's a ton of people who are either locked into 1 game or have to actively keep chasing what the new hottest thing is
and 99% of those people are not gonna make anything much better than beer money
Ya its rough
all in all, WoW is probably the best single game to contentslop for
just can't be mad at their slop cuz they've locked in to honestly what I think is a terrible job
Oh ya idc about it, tier lists is a small problem
People will lock in and overthink metas outside of that
It's either that or you have to take skill into account
No need to reroll if you just always keep them caught up
Words I never thought I'd read is that ele sham is replacing havoc in the highest meta because of havoc survival issues
Yeah that's what I thought too. Like havoc has always been a fairly tanky spec and ele has always been awful. So definitely not words I expected
Imagine being the class that had a talent that increased the amount of damage you take
Warrior?
Fury warrior at start of legion was such a meme lmao
Havoc is pretty good baseline because of leech but in terms of situations that call for a defensive, I guess there’s a pretty high skill cap for that
Berzerker stance used to increase damage taken. And for a long time there was a mechanic that caused you to take increased damage while enraged.
We had a dps warrior in our friend group in legion, and during EN he wanted to play fury. We always joked with him that he chose to take twice the damage to deal half
So he switched to arms eventually, for fury to become good later on
💀
Can you explain the skill cap? What's skill based in their defensive kit? Haven't played it since bfa
always how it is tho, if anyone is not willing to switch dps specs in a class with multiple, it's always kinda 🤨 for me
Im not a hdh player but i guess one of the strongest tools in their kit defensively, is also an offensive button. And it’s all about timing everything
like if you're maining a rogue in raid u should at least be willing to spec change for patches
Ah
Let me look and see if i can find the ability
Idk i tried to find it but i dont get it either, it’s just what ive heard from some dh ppl
I think its fine for most content, like anything it only starts to matter at harder stuff
Crazy to put ele above it tho
Ele is more damage
Havoc is hard to live sometimes
you're not thinking of meta giving hella leech right
outside of blur and giga leech and darkness they don't have anything inherent
but the giga leech is rly good
Trinket, bark etc
Yes leech is good but you can die easily from stuff like sawblades or those guys that fixate in floodgate
You do have some passive DR
Like 5% stamina and 3% dr and incorruptible spirit which means some kind of a shield up at basically all times
That sucks, I'm sorry
all i know is earth shield/2nd beacon prio and i never earth shield fury warriors or havoc dh 
Hope you feel better quickly
those guys r unkillable as long as they dont stand in shit
Already destroyed my plans for next few days
I’ll probably feel good enough for few days trip @ new years but will see idk
🙏
have warlocks gotten anything new in the last 2 years or do i still have to keep earth shielding them
Depends on comp prob
You dont want to give extra attention to something that can heal
Like dk, havoc
Most of the time
Not to mention will of the necropolis
idk i've been doing same as DF like hunter > casters > etc but apparently i shouldn't do bm hunters anymore 🤔
Prob most broken defensive talent in the game
Dont tell me there’s nothing more to dh than blur 😂 idk ive been told theyre hard to survive on
It is prone to get oneshotted quite easily because of leather armor, you also have eye beam and VR/felblade which can kill you if you don’t pay attention, but vs rot you’re very tanky
i still hold this opinion
and it will NOT change
keyge
I'm a lil busy will be on in like 30
imagine not just playing the class and playing both dps specs depending on fight/tier
I play warrior, protection is the answer to every fight/tier
Didn't he say 7 est
No that's what I meant; he said 7 est and it's after that
i woke up early from my nap
Time zones are stupid
We loggin
lmao sorry shouldn't rag on this casual guild but this advertisement is so fucking funny
we don't do anything please join our guild
At least they're honest right
Most guilds are like hey we do this and this and this and then you join and it's just crickets
I decided to go see the finale in theaters after all
nice
i'll be at the waffle house in spirit. or denny's. or ihop. whatever seedy diner joint you have that's open 24/7
My cat is pissed because I haven't been gaming lately and he wants his limitless attention
So he's now sitting on my desk next to my mouse but facing away from me
how is wow on modern radeon cards
probably dont, but i have option to go for 9000 series, i know between intel amd nvidia there is alot of variety of pc builds
Did u guys link some relevant achievements? At least the achievement for completion of the dungeon in mythic
I linked the WotLK heroic dungeon meta
Did they apologize and invite?
No but Pash did whisper them and say thanks for your consideration
New dh spec just dropped
For your consideration, shaman tank
wtf is the "you are a bear" WA
LMAO
i really wish i had warcraft recorder from day 1 of keying
I hope when he's not in bear, it says "why are you not bear?"
I would have had so many good clips
Maybe I should get that since I never stream anymore
there was one ara-kara 12 that I bricked, on the very first pull one of the dps fell off the hole in the first bridge of the webs
I've definitely never done that
I have a clip on my twitch of a friend who wanted to solo two boomies in 2v2 in the days when convoke was super busted
i mean i've fallen off ara-kara platforms in unique and novel ways thought impossible to man
He was a bdk
but that one was special
I was like you know they're gonna both just insta convoke you right? He was like it's fine
He died so fast
💀
💀
DK is always fun with the "I can live, I can live" part of purgatory
right before the game slaps you down
I loved seeing all the clips of bdk living the enrage thing on last boss of fall in DF
Er
Yeah it was fall right
The one with chromie helping you
that was fall
now i can't remember what the 2nd part of the key is called
there are holes in the brain
75 more gilded crests before i can start spending them on gear and not crafts
we r gaming

okay to be fair that is for catweaving
particularly when i have some kind of toy that alters my appearance
because after pulling nexus king 400 times all the bars blend together
every icon is a fang or a claw or a paw
was gonna say i never had an issue as resto but i just remembered every heal shifts me out anyway so it didn't matter
better answer "you are a bear" is an affirmation i have to repeat to myself if i want to stay collected in keys
TRUE
My kanga jammer 9000 working as intended
is that part of elv inactive?
🤔 figured all the out of combat shit will all work fine
compared to healing 2 hours ago and rn i was on oce ping
wtf
that sucked
its active
lets me see the azralon andies when they try to hide on other realms
Working on gearing my warrior up for some tankage, just crafted the shield as that was my last super low ilvl piece (610) and added duskthread lining. Have 4pc. Should I hit a 1H wep for the next craft, then go bracers w/ duskthread?
sure sounds good
Thanks man!!!!!
just a heads up when crafting u want to use the second gilded item to make it a 727 not a 720
Kinda no reason not to
If u dont care about acuity you could also send crafting a 691 base for bracers and neck rn for ilvl and recraft them later
this is all assuming your goal is to farm a ton of gilded crests tho idk
I just converted all my lower crests to gilded and ended up with like 310
So now I'm almost 723 ilevel (on hunter)

This guy cranks
always has
Hey folks, thought about tanking some 12+ dungeons. Due to fury main I got basically low crit. But a lot of haste/mastery and versa. Will this be fine?
Yes
Ends up in low parry I guess?
For 12s it will be totally fine
Kk
You can look for opportunities to maybe craft a neck and/or ring to grab some crit if you can, it will feel nice with some crit, but absolutely 100% playable
Just focus on rotation fundamentals and you’ll be perfectly fine
Okay, thanks 👍🏻
For future reference, for pretty much all the tanks, your secondary stats don't really matter too much, as most of the power of the kit comes baseline to the two factors of
A. Just being in a tank spec
B. The base abilities themselves
All the secondaries provide defensive benefit as well, so there's nothing locking you out. For P War especially, the difference between the stats is minimal enough that you can even just sim for DPS and be just fine as long as you keep in mind SB uptime requirements (haste for running ItF instead of HR and the like)
The rare Luerce reply mention
This balance isn't necessarily there to that extent for all the tanks, but they definitely don't matter as much as you just actually playing well and having gear at all
i'm reading through the FGO finale for their story that's been actually 8 years in the making smh
Brawler's Guild was pretty meh this time around 🙁
Almost every fight had a single mechanic and even the ones that didn't were a snoozefest
Yeah it was shockingly easy, even all the challenge card fights have been a snooze
I got my rewards and got out
Were they ever any more tho
i feel like they were always 1-2 mechanics
i watched a 3.3k priest being eaten by the boss that eats u in melee range the other night
That ruled
Hello, I'm not sure to understand how the changes regarding addon will impact our UI. Like, the weakaura trackers for ignore pain or shield block will still work?
Weakauras will not work, the built-in cooldown manager will let you track certain buffs/cds
Addons can also read CDM data and make their own visuals with that data (but cannot make computational decisions/alerts).
I remember some of the fights later in the ranking being more complex, like that one hexagon wave boss or whatever
But i was also worse at the game the last time it came around so, who knows
i want to say they gated those behind the challenge cards, didnt they
or did they yeet that one entirely
Quite a few of the old fights are there on challenge cards but not the eye sadly. He was a lot of fun.
Oh man, maybe they have the right amount of mechanics; watching some struggle bussing right now
Dude I forgot about the giraffe XD
Wat
One of the old brawler's guild bosses is literally just a giraffe that does nothing but hit like an absolute truck
You can fight it with challenge cards, though it's pretty lame as prot war since you still take 0 damage
i'm so tempted to ping choco and ask if he's resubbing for midnight and/or why he's playing lemix
Who is choco
I don't think so
oh wait he....
Tbh I was mentally checked out for most of DF even when I was playing
might have only been in dps channels
and prot very occasionally
did some keys with nimchip and i ages ago
Gotcha. I also have made Nimchip suffer with my gameplay at times 🙂
He keeps coming back though so I think he's a glutton for punishment.
i think this most recent guild betrayal probably killed nimchip forever
Oh no, what happened? 🙁
uh
i think his guild benched him and then broke up like last season? or so?
been a bit
Rough
it was kinda awkward cuz i asked him about what he was up to like
2 weeks before his guild exploded
and he was like yep in a much better guild than before, benched for now but nbd
and then his guild exploded

oof
@undone beacon any key interest?
I just got done running my brother though most of the lemix dungeons on mythic so I think I’m chillin for now
okie dokie artichokie
ret pally with 1 kick in an entire hoa
stood in almost every avoidable aoe (high score of like 8 statue hits in last boss - was only a 13 so he legit lived at 5 hp almost every time)
hate these ppl
i should have salty linked the total interrupts before i left that group
oh did 1m less dps than the tank too
More shitter dps in keys I see
incredibly bad
luckily we did time it by like
2 seconds
the pwar kinda cranked tho
big 5m dps cranker, terrible route tho
i can kinda feel myself on the cusp of impostor syndrome feeling
have to play better
I hate when tanks that have absolutely no idea what they’re doing and make some dogshit routes. Like just import some pug friendly routes from any streamer/youtuber/or website.
I enjoy when ppl do something different, simply because I seen the standard routes so many times.
Not to mention, some times you can see their logic and it is interesting. Information I then use to customise my own choices
My room pretty clean tho
Ive seen what some websites consider pug friendly, and sometimes id rather them cook themselves
Pulls like 4 spread obliterators are my favorite or 1 pack at the time chained into 2nd right after your cds ended 
HAHAH you weren't who I was referencing 😂
man, turns age 40
P O L I T I C S
and MUH GUBBERMINT BIG DUM STEWPID
WHY??????? (i dunno, hell if i know)
the world may never know
it just happens to alot of ppl, many such cases
only gets worse from there, when you are 50 and 60 im told you stop giving a fuck entirely and then one day you decide you like mountain biking and spend 7,000 on a bike and go on a 6 week ride out of no where
so im told
Hey guys I just tried tanking a +2 for the first time, I had really hard time (I didn't make it :')). I only have 600ilvl, I guess it's doable for good players but it's still hard no ?
600 sounds quite low. The recommended item level I've heard thrown around a bit is 660, but it greatly depends on skill and the rest of your party.
bad routes are no thang who gaf
I finished all the new brawler's guild stuff. 
Now you can carry my warrior through delves
I have been watching youtube shitposts all morning. very productive day imo
i need to redo my warrior's ui
on my rsham it can be dogshit and it doesn't matter but my warrior's buttons are all in the wrong places for my eyes to look

3.1k... main, is saying ya bad without saying you are bad
low keys are so wild
healer died to every boss and on the 2nd to last one, he just stayed dead
tilted off the face of the earth 😔
I can tonight i believe. Not home currently
