4 maybe 5 will

#

But one arm...

#

We dont do guild alt runs

#

Im suffering from success really

My alt has myth ML ring and needs mugzee neck...
The other has myth top ring and needs coc ring (hehe) / rik neck...

But it’s kinda grief to play alt warr on last 2/4 for vault

tacit crystal
#

yeah my alt for m+

#

is starving

visual fern
#

I guess it wont matter in a month

tacit crystal
#

and my guild

#

would geek out if i brought an alt

#

surely ce soon then jump

visual fern
#

Ez hack, just have 2 warriors

tacit crystal
#

swordish exists

visual fern
#

Degen both so they similarly geared

tacit crystal
#

but they said nah bc people need to fill vaults

visual fern
#

Hence me wondering if 6 is puggable

tacit crystal
#

stix seems barely puggable

#

3 seems fine

#

and sprocket is prob fine enough if theyve killed before

river ridge
visual fern
#

One arm prob easier than sprocket

#

After the ilvl jump patch

#

Can just skip some coin overlaps with more dam

#

Polarity / mines / drills on the other hand...

river ridge
#

Using the raid skip

visual fern
#

Imagine a world where 6/8m pug is first 3 + last 3

stable fiber
#

its jastor + coc

visual fern
stable fiber
#

but uh

#

no jastor its top

#

xdd

visual fern
stable fiber
#

coc ring super bis though

visual fern
tacit crystal
#

i got hc coc

stable fiber
#

ive only seen 1 mythic coc ring

#

went to a holy priest

#

(killed the boss 8 times)

void bay
tacit crystal
stable fiber
#

i mean this is a great abbreviation

tacit crystal
#

so

#

it would be turbo greedy for me to get the same ring twice

#

like

#

xdd

visual fern
#

I cant even skip rik neck and use boe neck + top ring to offset haste loss because that puts me at 23 haste which feels unplayable with how SD/jugg works

stable fiber
#

yeah my haste is crazy high too

#

im at like 11k crit and 24k haste

tacit crystal
#

i think i have like

#

40?

stable fiber
#

coc ring somehow didnt sim as a massive increase over circlet which i just think is wrong

tacit crystal
#

luckily my neck is the cinderbrew so it has some haste

stable fiber
#

might have been giving me crit instead of haste on the circlet

tacit crystal
#

yesterday during sprocket

#

i got so tilted at bladestorm

#

i went ravager

stable fiber
#

lmfao

tacit crystal
#

i was also turbo running it

#

Quick q is slayer arms viable in m+? Saw on murlok somes notably critcake

wispy cloud
#

For m+, what droptimizer sims should I do? I know that stats are super weird rn, so I know that I should keep updating sims

stable fiber
#

but for colossus i just go by the rule of stack as much crit as possible

#

because crit is like extremely good for colossus

wispy cloud
#

I do play colossus in m+

stable fiber
#

yeah so i assume you gear for m+

wispy cloud
#

Yea exactly

#

hey guys

#

One question, while simming for m+, how should I sim?

#

Dslice or 5t5m

prime bramble
#

Yes

#

Most people do 1t5m + 5t5m and throw in slice for good measure

kind saffron
#

just sim both single target and 5 or 10 targets (with reasonable m+ buffs) and make a decision based on that

Hello guys, I am brand new warrior. I rerolled from rogue/mage played only m+ around 15-16's but I just love how warriors look and the aestethics. My question is, how hard is warrior to learn? Is it complicated? I feel a bit button floated atm when I just started, thanks! πŸ˜„ And have a great day

lunar remnant
#

you rerolled from those classes into a worse class, it’s not too bad once you get used to your abilities.. dunno why you wanna torture yourself though warr dps is pretty mid

untold pewter
#

Do you mean current 15's-16's or was this before the key level squish?

Either way, not complicated, wowhead guide covers all the start up you need for your rotation and yes it's a little bit button bloated

im confused when fighting bosses whether I should press mortal strike or execute (ST) , should I do 2x execute then mortal strike, or pump out one

fading nimbus
#

After thorough simming and constantly being around 2.48m st I've come to want to try a 38% crit, 25% haste build with seaforium ( my connection in aus doesn't allow me to make most of Gcd ) any thoughts on it?

fading nimbus

Correct

The damage difference is very noticeable, especially if the Ms crits with the stacks

#

i feel like in a dungeon my cds are always misaligned. should i be holding any cds like demolish or collosus smash if avtar is like 20 cds left on cd

shadow ibex
#

Assuming you're in combat during all that time you should be able to send both of those with 20 left on avatar cd

#

20 duration on avatar means you got 40 seconds

#

Both of those will be up in 40. Twice if you're in combat easily

#

If you ever think about holding shit remember avatar lasts long as hell

#

Obv don't send if you might get targeted with gtfo mech like garbage balls in 2 seconds

yea that makes sense ty

Hello fellow warriors πŸ™‚

What guide/ build would you recommend for M+ and Raid ?

If Bladestorm didn't suck

we wouldnt have this problem

Wasting so many hero talents

#

Let talents work for rav

And make bladestorm be better per target up to 7

I just dislike loosin control in arms coz bladestorm lasts forever

Honestly not bad, arms you can get away with dropping siren ring but put it into play and see how it goes? Keeping in mind that sims are computer generated with optimal performance and aren't reflective of how you play, curious to see how much the dps actually changes

except like worldfirst guilds

reef birch
#

how much crit above the DR is generally acceptable?

hollow plover
reef birch
#

people who parrot that are more of a robot than that thing could ever be

hollow plover
#

listen

#

are you thinking of using different items?

#

what to craft?

#

just sim it

#

genuinely

#

that will give you a more accurate answer than any person could give you

reef birch
#

I miss the age of critical thinking

hollow plover
#

our knowledge is based on what we've seen in sims

#

you nutcase

slow saddle
#

Theres no caps any more.m8

halcyon breach
#

Genuinely asking, why should someone go out of their way to calculate the optimal amount of stats for a certain set of gear, with how much time and effort it'd also take to get to some possibly somewhat reliable answer, when you could just use raidbots instead to arrive at a quicker, and better, answer?

slow saddle
#

No 8% hit chance or arp

#

But as a general rule

#

As slayer just take crit-haste

#

If u never wanna sim. U prob fine for the content u do

reef birch
slow saddle
hollow plover
slow saddle
#

Problem with those is when u add a stat u also subtract 1. Then the stat weight can differ

#

Also simmin is just so easy

reef birch
slow saddle
#

If bot still wants haste even at 20% r

#

Who cares?

tacit crystal
#

me when i have 25k haste

#

on my mage and i still want more

slow saddle
#

Exactly

#

Either u trust bot

#

Or just go crit haste

#

And take mastery - versa when u must

reef birch
#

im using colosus m+ build, and both mastery and vers are at ~2000 at 673 ilvl

#

which strikes me as wrong

tacit crystal
#

me when that doesnt matter

slow saddle
#

Feely craft time

#

Just sim ?

regal wharf
#

ive read about it but im still unsure how you go about execute phase on colossus arms

#

esp in aoe

slow saddle
#

Well

tacit crystal
#

how aoe is aoe

reef birch
#

you dont do exe on aoe

slow saddle
#

Ms>op>exe>slam

#

If dt

#

its only use in colosus is to generate overpower resets

In aoe same, exe pops infront of slam

i wonder what i should do keys on when the crests get uncapped

#

i think i should do mage bc it has more mythic track

reef birch
#

is dungeon slice or 5patch/5min the go-to for m+ sims?

tacit crystal
#

whne are you fighting 5 targets for 5 minutes straight

reef birch
#

most every trash pull

#

where they are stacked and chain interupted

tacit crystal

for 5 minutes

slow saddle

5m is nice if u measure trinkets

Imho

hollow plover

5min sims just tells u to go kezan

Ye so if u wanna more

#

1m + 5m sim 5t

heady shale
#

What's the point of Slam?

#

It's like they wanna remove it from 4 expacs ago, but they cant

#

I understand to use it when MS/OP is off but at 40% haste do you even use it anymore

potent creek
#

ok so we remove slam

#

and at the start of next expansion

#

people with zero haste gonna ask to have slam back

#

i'm getting it right?

arctic axle
#

sounds about right

heady shale
#

No idea, asking about debloating and avoiding noob trap skills

where is a trap in filler skill?

it is literally there to press when you can't press anything else

heyo, does dreadnaught stack with the tier set?

spiral coral
#

Good button

#

Slam Spam in DF was… something else

shadow ibex

Just remove it and let you exe always

im kinda new to arms (super rarely play it) but im playing it for 1arm bandit and mugzee.

how much Kelpfist dummy dps should arms be doing approx. w/ arms gear (671) im doing 2.35M dps but that's w/ most of it in execute b/c the guy dies super fast. i stayed on the dummy until i did 1B overall damage

#

am i playing it wrong or is that normal

shadow ibex
#

Slam appears in a single tooltip across the whole spec tree and it's fob. Whole button gotta go

#

Burn it down

fuck saaaake

finally killed mugzee in a pug

on the kill where I fucked up

as is tradition

#

I feel like arms is such cheeks on mugzee

#

am I wrong

#

I struggle to do any damage

slow saddle
#

We just got rid of slam talents

#

Arms is decent just keep up jugger stacks

#

Also vs what?

#

Arms vs fury? Or other specs

potent creek
#

keep jug?

#

I know how to make slam better

#

we gonna rename it to heroic strike

new icon is optional

dreamy egret
#

Found their stance before going silent crazy to think they could have just avoided the backlash but scarizard had to be a twat.

dreamy egret
#

Yeah and they can be changed for the better with enough backlash

dreamy egret
#

It's fair for lfr to get heroic but a heroic raider can't have access to mythic loot ?

slow saddle
#

Well yes

dim basalt
#

Fair imo

smoky kayak
#

I think the argument is that the gulf between LFR and Heroic is not so big as the gulf between Heroic and Mythic (which is not to say that LFR is difficult by any means, so much as that Heroic is just extremely low effort at this point)

As well as the impact of said gear going forward into the next season

dreamy egret
#

And if they find that it's too impactful you balance the game around it or nerf the old items like they always have done...

smoky kayak
#

well it sounds like they already did

#

but by that I didn't mean the items themselves are too strong, I meant the already given answer that a typically normal or heroic mode player having the last tier's best Mythic items probably aren't going to replace it for all of the following season

#

which creates a problem with the progression curve that actually is kinda difficult to solve

#
  • you can nerf the item for everyone, which obviously affects a lot more people
  • you can increase the ilvl gap between last season and the next, which obviously affects a lot more people (and introduces other content-scaling concerns)
dreamy egret
#

You just increase the tuning of the dungeons and raids. The only reason they are doing this is to sell more wow tokens so people buy boosts.

smoky kayak
#

what does the difficulty of the dungeons and raids have to do with anything? I'm talking about the gear progression curve, upgrading from an item of the previous tier to one of the next tier

slow saddle
#

All i think they should add is upgrade tokens

#

So when u kill u can upgrade

smoky kayak
#

(there is a limit on how many tokens you can buy)

slow saddle
#

I mean who thinks ppl can afford mythic boosts

#

Ppl say it like normal players got 15-25m laying around

#

Or buy the tokens req for that

olive nest
#

I dont think heroic only players should be able to get mythic gallywix loot in a real season like this
I do also think adding a way to increase the heroic version of the dinar item only to mythic once you kill the mythic version would also be nice qol

shadow ibex
#

they removed it

#

i dont think it was used in any content in the game while it was around

slow saddle
#

Or mandatory

smoky kayak
#

I mean certainly some people do and will buy boosts... but they were probably already buying boosts anyway

the players who don't normally make tons of gold and don't normally buy boosts are probably not going to find much success funding their boost with WoW Tokens though, given that you are limited on how many tokens you can buy and the general Mythic sale price is dramatically higher

lunar remnant
#

Updates section still grayed out so sad

dreamy egret
#

If an lfr can have heroic track loot a heroic raider can have mythic ilvl loot simple.

slow saddle
#

20 euro a pop and u need what?

smoky kayak
#

as we've already discussed

little forge
#

you can get heroic loot from random weekly boxes doing 4 dungeons, heroic loot isnt mythic loot

olive nest
#

it would be insane to buy a mythic 8/8 boost with wowtokens thats easily what like $2,000USD roughly with current token value??

smoky kayak
#

exactly, the reason heroic loot is the floor is because heroic loot is already widely available and anything below is it easily outvalued

olive nest
#

no way anyone does that

shadow ibex
#

people will buy specific boss kills

dreamy egret
#

Are we taking mythic tier away from the level 10 weekly keystones as well ?

shadow ibex
#

i can see a lot of people buying only oab

smoky kayak
#

and ofcourse they want all players to be able to get something out of dinar, even if they're not necessarily getting the best thing out if it

smoky kayak
dreamy egret
#

As with dinar was originally 2 they changed to 3

#

Mythic 10s are easier than gallywix heroic imo

shadow ibex
#

i think they are probably equal

#

its just more players who know how to do gally

slow saddle
#

M10 easier

shadow ibex
#

than 5 players who know a dungeon

little forge
#

these dinars are actual bad luck protection instead of extra loot for playing, pretty simple to understand

smoky kayak
#

idk, on an individual effort level, you can probably afk your way through H Gally a lot easier than even a +10

shadow ibex
#

its easier to get 5 people who know how to do an m10 than it is to get 10-20 that all know heroic gally perfect. but you dont need all 10-20 to know it perfect

#

just for sake of example

slow saddle
#

Tbh if we kill oab this season. Imma be so happy

smoky kayak
slow saddle
#

Yup

shadow ibex
#

yea that seems like an oversight on their end

#

dinar should be gear for the season

#

not from the raid only

slow saddle
#

Though what req to get m+?

#

3k?

shadow ibex
#

so all seasonal gear, delve stuff m+ raid

smoky kayak
#

probably KSH or L at most

little forge
#

yeah i think that and adding an item that upgrades dinar items when you kill boss would be 2 solid qol changes, but i dont think they should change the having to kill boss to get it

smoky kayak
#

hell I wouldn't mind if it wasn't just portal achieves

shadow ibex
#

i assumed it would be base item with 10-15 ranks of upgrade

#

and you just unlock the next rank when you get that kill

smoky kayak
#

I'm less in favor of an upgrade, because that's just giving them the item with a few extra steps

however I am in favor of letting people upgrade if they kill that boss (e.g. buy H Diamond, kill M Gally, upgrade to M Diamond)

shadow ibex
#

like i didnt buy a mythic aug in s4. i bought aug with like 15 upgrade ranks

olive nest
#

heres the problem with that, we all know damn well all +10s is significantly easier to accomplish vs Cutting Edge

smoky kayak
#

you get the loot your earn, end of story

shadow ibex
#

yea but if the +10s thing is just dungeon loot

olive nest
#

so at that point why make raid items so much more restricted to get

little forge
smoky kayak
#

I know nobody wants to feel left out

#

and it is a serious bummer seeing this system and knowing 'well that doesn't mean shit for me!'

#

that's a (completely separate) marketing failure on blizz part

#

but I don't believe the answer is "just give people free loot to make them feel better about themselves"

shadow ibex
#

at the same time, we as players create the social aspect

olive nest
#

if we want mythic M+ dinar it should be 3k achiev or something

shadow ibex
#

and 10000% people will be selling oab kills

olive nest
#

that requires effort

shadow ibex
#

for mega cheap

smoky kayak
#

so what

shadow ibex
#

i bet you will be able to get a oab kill prchased

#

for like 50k

slow saddle
#

Lel a mythic oab?

shadow ibex
#

that fight is gonna get even easier

little forge
#

el oh el

shadow ibex
#

in 3 weeks

smoky kayak
#

it'll still be in the millions

olive nest
#

I bet itll be 500k

smoky kayak
#

but honestly... I'm fine with that

olive nest
#

at first millions

shadow ibex
#

i dont think its gonna be super expensive if you really want that mythic bis

olive nest
#

eventually hundred thousands

shadow ibex
#

the boss is alrady melting

#

throw in how much more % raid buff?

#

and more gear

#

and corruption

smoky kayak
#

not because I do a whole lot of sales or anything, but I just don't really see an issue with it - they're still putting in effort

Sure it might not be the same kind of effort, but they're at least doing something to earn that piece, even if what they're doing is only economical

#

it's not perfect and I kinda wish sales didn't exist, but you can't really stop them either, so fuck it - it's still better than just giving out pity bis for free

shadow ibex
#

yea i dont have a problem with it

slow saddle
#

We are gettin A LOT of power ngl

shadow ibex
#

i just know that mythic oab loot is gonna have a big demand

#

and raiders will supply it

#

and there's gonna be a lot of raiders able to supply it

#

so its gonna be cheap

smoky kayak
#

I don't think it'll be as cheap as you imply, but I really couldn't care less

#

there are only so many aspects you can control

shadow ibex
#

i bet near the end of season you can get an alt oab mythic dinar loot unlocked for like 200k

#

if that

slow saddle
#

If ppl are willing to spend 200 euro for a bis item

smoky kayak
#

yeah you've said that repeatedly, we get it

shadow ibex
#

not 200 euro

slow saddle
#

Its fine

#

Well why buy tokens when u csn get gold cheaper

lunar remnant

every time I sim something then do what it says then it wants me to change something else... im losing tons of gold re-crafting and socketing

slow saddle

smoky kayak

yes - some people will buy their way in
no, I don't like it, but I don't really care either. It's not the end of the world and if that's how they want to spend their money, fine - it's their money

There just making a stinky cause its free money

#

Oh my god guys wow bad?

#

3 weeks later Wow good!

#

the cycle continues

smoky kayak
#

they make a stink because the people complaining, by and large, aren't the "big boys" - it's the people who do +10s, maybe a few +12s or even a +14 and like to think they're going to be big boys

pure otter
#

Fuck em

#

if ya aint killin it you dont deserve it simple as

#

what they gunna do show up in ur key and do 0 kicks and 0 damage?

smoky kayak
#

other than tettles, the actual high end M+ pushers... aren't really complaining about dinar lol

pure otter
#

tettles needs that bag 2

#

i aint blamen em

#

go get it king

#

Dinars are great catcup, i get if people are upset that there alt cant use it or something but if u want it that bad go get it, its right fucking there.

smoky kayak
#

the actual high end players already know that you need to explore every avenue if you truly wanna be competitive

pure otter
#

Yep

#

just do all 3

gusty pine

pvp pve and delves

there's no such thing as "truly competitive" while also only doing the bare minimum - in virtually anything, wow related or not

Give us myth track delve gear

Fuckin blizz expecting me to engage with the content what the fuck shizzard!

I pay 15 bucks and bought a carry

#

wheres my trinket

smoky kayak
#

also a lot of it is on players too, a lot of them want best thing simply because it's best thing, without any real concept of how good/bad it is

pure otter
#

yeah just get heroic versions

#

if its good enough for wf players to kill bosses with it

#

its good enough for me

#

(im bad pease give me more ilvl)

smoky kayak
#

H Jastor is still going to be a big upgrade for everyone who doesn't already have it - yes M would be better, but that doesn't mean that H is bad

  • H Jastor is still much better than even a max crafted ring
  • M Jastor is only a small (<1%) upgrade over H Jastor
pure otter
#

U said it best players dont think in %

#

like all these items are like a 12k upgrade for me

#

wich is nic

#

but fucking nothing

#

in the grand scheme of things

sacred zodiac
#

buying an unupgradeable hc jastor would just feel bad lol

smoky kayak
#

it's hard to, unless you really have a strong familiarity with the system

pure otter
#

the 8 extra ilvl will be way fuckin more

#

on everything

smoky kayak
pure otter

holy fucking shit

yeah i do think its fair to be able to upgrade it later, if not im saving my dinars

its probably not intentinal is all i ment

#

Oh

#

well true my bad

eager sigil
slow saddle
#

So he meant 3% for weap + ring + trinket?

pure otter
eager sigil
pure otter
#

just enough space to keep expansion changes in

#

then im outa ram

#

speaking of i need to sim if crafting a weapon is better then fully heroic bis weapon i thiink i know the answer but i wanna make sure

visual fern
pure otter
#

(or ill pretend to know the answer and say i knew it all along)

pure otter
#

Fuck!

smoky kayak
#

anyway, real solution to the dinar mess is to also make M-Track dungeon gear purchasable for people who have KSH/KSL/whatever

and then in future seasons, do away with dinar and create a more comprehensive system that's active from the start of the season instead, so that players can temper their expectations accordingly

pure otter
#

please make all my gear upgradable and dinarable!

#

i want to be a walking crest like in df season 1

slow saddle
#

I think its fine blp enters at a 05 patch

pure otter
#

full crafted bis!

#

craftzodia

smoky kayak
pure otter
#

god speed spiderman

#

it may be something they implement later or 2 expacs later

#

break transmute incase of low subs

smoky kayak
#

in so many words, I suggested that instead of mid-season dinar, Blizz integrate bad luck protection into the Catalyst instead - allowing players to use charges to convert an item to a specific boss drop of the same type & difficulty

  • e.g. if you defeated H Bandit, you can use X Catalyst charges to convert a Hero-track weapon into H BiS
  • if you've defeated M Gally, you can use X Catalyst charges to convert a Myth-track ring into M Diamond
  • same for dungeons, provided you've earned some achievement (portal, KSH, whatever)

For any item on that dungeon/boss loot table, as long as you've defeated them on the appropriate difficulty

slow saddle
#

Sep from catalyst i buy it

smoky kayak
#

combined with the catalyst, just two options - you can make tier as normal, or you can convert items; for balancing reasons I'd probably make Very Rare/Cantrip items cost more charges, because obviously the intent isn't to just let people "buy" the best item each time they beat a new boss

And they can always counterbalance costs by simply adding more charges as achievements rewards similar to the current KSM

  • i.e. give players another charge for Cutting Edge or 4k io, or whatever
slow saddle
#

Ye but again punishes normal players. Or makes guilds send tier to prefered players

visual fern
#

Or makes guilds send tier to prefered players
This happens already anyway

smoky kayak
#

it doesn't punish them at all, at least not any more than the current system does

slow saddle
smoky kayak
#

if anything it's better for them too, because it gives them an avenue to that M+ trinket that they never got to show up in the vault

visual fern
#

It's also like "Player A has tier already, he can use his charges to transmute X item. X item drop can be given to someone else now"

smoky kayak
#

^

#

there are multiple avenues for tier

#

in the same way that you might get all your tier from vault and therefore have no use for your catalyst charges, I might get all my teir from catalyst and therefore be able to take other things from vault

#

and that's the biggest benefit of this system - it's active from the start of the patch, so you can plan for it as you go, based on what gear you get, what bosses you beat, and what gear you still need

As opposed to waiting for dinar that may or may not come, at an undisclosed point, without knowing how many you'll get, how quickly you'll get them, or what their limitations will be

#

and even if you feel like you fall behind, it's not a finite set of currency like dinar - you will always get more charges over time

slow saddle
#

Are we halfway season 2 or?

smoky kayak
#

well we don't know when S3 releases so idk

visual fern
#

.5 patch is halfway through the cycle surely

smoky kayak
#

probably thereabouts

#

probably less actually

#
  • S1 started on Sept 10
  • S2 started on Mar 4
    that's.. 25 weeks?
#

and we're in the 8th week of S2

visual fern
#

9 weeks to max dinar from here

#

8 weeks of max dinar gaming

#

That's crazy

#

Bosses are gonna flop so fast

#

Raid buff, ilvl buff, dinars, more nerfs, just more loot in general from vaults/time

viral locust
#

Playtime is king in these ideas, why would they implement something that gives you item faster then you get bored and log til next raid. Vs farming house of cards for 12 weeks to keep you logging in

#

Needs to be some kind of 1/12 weekly thing, kill boss get part of a gear catalyst token so you farm for 12 weeks still and get the item as bad luck protection for blizz to bite

smoky kayak
swift crown
#

I cant wait for Lockenstock to die before second intermission

smoky kayak
#

pacing is important, yes
but arbitrarily log-in metrics aren't actually a thing most designers consider

#

that said, the idea actually is limited by time, since obviously you get charges over time (1 every 2 weeks, so if it requires 3 charges to convert your ring to diamond, that's a 6 week investment) - that's pacing, but unlike dinar, it's done in a way that's plannable and predictable from the start of a season - not shoehorned in as a surprise halfway through the season

viral locust
smoky kayak
#

in broad strokes sure, but they very rarely get involved in day to day design details

#

of course people care about gameplay metrics, but the real secret of success is that if your game is enjoyable... people will log in and play it regardless

#

and unsurprisingly, Season 2 has been pretty damn popular so far without dinar or any other kind of "log in every week for x weeks to get your prize" mechanics

visual fern
#

Why would I play something if I don't have to? For FUN? That's crazy....

#

||Obligatory /s ofc||

fresh spire
#

✊ but i want my unearned items put straight into my hand. It encourages boosts!
Also pvp boosts and mplus boosts running just as rampent as the "impending boost crisis" of dinars

#

How many was banned in china for all the title boost abusing last season hmmNod

reef glade
#

my gameplay is so affected by lfr larry having a mythic trinket or weapon 😒😒😒😒

rose matrix
#

I mean buying a boost for the raid to get two myth pieces is different than M+ boosts but I get your point

#

One is much more expensive than either of the other 2

fresh spire
#

people buy 8 of the one every week

#

lets be real people who was already willing to spend money to buy raid boosts for dinars probs would be doing same for items/mounts anyway

rose matrix
#

Either way saying since boosting is already problem then more boosting doesn't matter is dumb

olive nest
#

I'm honestly indifferent about it

rose matrix
#

But I think people are really exaggerating how many people will actually buy a boost in the raid

olive nest
#

I see the value in wanting to have the boss defeated before getting its loot

#

I also dont care if they throw the heroic gamers a bone

fresh spire
#

as someone who will kill these bosses, its nice to know i have some bad luck protection now

rose matrix
#

I completely understand agreeing with the design

fresh spire
#

feel me

rose matrix
#

I don't understand the people that would be mad if other people got 2 pieces without killing the bosses

fresh spire
#

why should i kill boss in first place then ?

reef glade
#

is your only motivation to raid with people loot

olive nest
#

exactly, it would invalidate the effort put in to defeat the boss

rose matrix
#

Yeah two armor pieces 4 months in would invalidate everything you did

#

For sure

fresh spire
#

im glad the like 600 pulls across the tier to kill all the bosses let alone get my item is just given to some random alt that logged in and did lfr 4 times (probs not 600 this tier probs more like 400)

rose matrix
#

That is what is cringe

visual fern
#

I don't raid for the boys

#

I don't raid for the challenge

olive nest
#

why should you have mythic jastor ring for free when i spent months progressing the raid with a team to get it

reef glade
#

im glad spending 600 pulls on tindral and fyrakk each got me fyralath in the last like 2-3 weeks before it was guaranteed

rose matrix
#

Why do you care so much about a shitter getting two myth pieces

visual fern
#

I don't raid for the memories

olive nest

fresh spire

can't parse without the loot

visual fern

Loot backwards is tool and that's honestly how I view it

olive nest
#

I cant tell if garms is memeing or not but i quite literally raid for two reasons, spending time with the homies and to get the best loot

visual fern
#

Loot is a tool to help kill boss

olive nest
#

i wouldnt waste my time if the loot wasnt a higher ilvl

visual fern

After boss die who care

which is why i want the loot before the boss

#

to not waste more time on it

buh buh my achievement that people can just buy anyway D:

The people who would be mad about people getting items without the bosses killed is as bad as the people who want it handed to them

olive nest
#

Idk man i get it, I'm also extremely loot progression driven in this game

#

I find myself struggling to want to play when im maxed out

visual fern
#

That's the vanity part though, right?

reef glade
#

whats weird to me is i like want to play the game the most when im maxed out

#

actually have a chance to be on equal footing with omega parsers

#

s4 df was like the best raiding i ever played for that reason

fresh spire
reef glade
#

yea tru

visual fern
#

So I understand that part, but say lfr larry getting mythic jastor, doesn't change how I interact with the raid/m+

reef glade
#

padding on adds 20manning a 30man

visual fern
#

Lfr larry is a nonfactor

#

To my experience

rose matrix
#

Yeah if they did it like they did in S4 it would literally have no affect on anyone

fresh spire

can we add dinars to mythic plus that give me season title too

pick someone to 1v1

i like her playstyle

uh

#

sw def needs somethin tho

πŸ’€

fresh spire
#

||current leak is her shred is 65% and her ult hits all targets, her E now implants all teams weaknesses to the target and inflicts the type shred (unlike anaxa)||

reef glade
#

idk what anaxa does either but ye that sounds kinda good

#

all team weaknesses like at the same time tho? sounds kinda silly

#

so weakness types just matter actually nothing with her on the team

fresh spire
#

basically does what her E is with his ult to all targets. but he doesn't inflict the type weakness damage amp just the toughness breaking part

reef glade
#

which i mean kinda fair

#

hacker woman bring on any team and u can break weakness the theme of that not horrible

fresh spire
#

he also does huge damage

yea prolly

thats just what they do
