If you're over 15 you're ancient

😦

sharp meteor
#

who tf tryna do hard content on classic

#

shitters who brick single digit keys that's who

#

like there's famed slayer r1 arena r1 keys that's more than enough to keep anybody busy on live servers

#

mfs going back and killing ragnaros "for the challenge" keks '

Ragbarox is hot though

mild thunder

i dont understand the appeal of classic, beyond nostalgia

Nothing like your alcoholic raid lead yelling about not getting his cape

#

1 min got ss game

frank knoll
#

ļæ¼World buff meta in classic was fried

#

Classic was fun when I was 12 because it’s new, now it’s 30 year olds hyper optimizing everything

mild thunder
#

min/maxing is the worst part about mmos

frank knoll
#

Yeah

kindred viper
#

not playing wow since mop and then jumping back in i'm definitely shit, but damn SS qs drains the will to play, 30 min for a game at 1800 isn't something i can commit to

frank knoll
#

Yeah it’s cause healers don’t wanna play, don’t blame them

#

Only good healer in RSS is Disc

kindred viper
#

nah, tried healing on my sham alt, nothing but abuse and ppl lining

#

ele on my sham now, even more shit than on my warrior but qs are faster at low rating atleast.

#

and tbh it's crazy fun throwing out damage on an entire team

frank knoll
#

I don’t even think the other healing specs are bad, disc is just so busted ATM

kindred viper
#

disc does a lot of damage? would it help if they dropped the damage but kept the healing the same?

#

it's like playing against 3x dps atm?

frank knoll
#

Healing is on par with most others

#

And they do double the damage

#

MW probably has better through put
But idk I feel like disc is hard to balance, cause they heal with damage

merry valley
#

Tbh the first time i heard about soloq I though would be queuing solo for a 3v3 match, with a different bracket like we have.
Being locked inside a 15m Shuffle i think plays a big part in long queues. There's not a lot of healers, with them occupied for 15m even worse

sharp meteor
#

lol wym that's the easiest thing to tune

#

nerf dmg buff atonement

sharp meteor
merry valley
#

balance + damp doesnt help aswell

sharp meteor
#

i'd heal if i got anything for it

#

but i got 2400 gearing an alt so i already have all the rewards

#

and now for the rest of the season i get fuck all for healing unless i get r1 which will never in a million years happen

#

hope they come out with incentives mid season instead of waiting for s2

rapid plaza
#

should I be pressing sweeping strikes before a warbreaker spear unhinged bladestorm combo? not sure if sweeping buffs any of those if they're all AOE

sharp meteor
#

bladestorm/warbreaker aren't affected

#

unhinged motral strikes are

#

as they behave as if you pressed ms

rapid plaza
#

ty

sharp meteor
#

so yeah ideally have sweeping up

kindred viper
#

lmao

#

played on my ele alt, priest grips me then badgers me after game that i'm "instantly on them"

#

facing rogue and warr so i'm instantly stepped/charged

#

Y U ON THEM

#

mind you this is on my 1400 ele alt where i'm just spamming meatballs

sharp meteor
#

people who whisper over shuff are kind of demented idk just ignore report

kindred viper
#

i don't mind it, even this stuff. mostly i've had ppl whisper tips and shit

#

which

#

is counter to what everyone else seems to portray wow pvp as

#

i try to pay that forward aswell

spark oyster
#

Def thinking battle trance is the never choice when using rb/onslaught. Until it gets activated by crushing blow, the uptime is rare.

sharp meteor
spark oyster
#

I say until hoping blizz will do that someday

mild thunder
kindred viper
#

is a chad thing

mild thunder
#

i dont think you know what irony is

kindred viper
#

aw

#

now i'm sad

kindred viper
#

can't believe i messed that up

frank knoll
#

I kinda wanna play Enhancement

#

Or frost mage

mild thunder
#

then do it

frank knoll
#

Enhance seems like it’s slept on

kindred viper
#

i tried enh on my sham, to many buttons, got confuzzled

mild thunder
#

enh is a 1-button rotation weird

#

stormstrike, stormstrike, stormstrike, stormstrike

frank knoll
#

Has a small dedicated group of ppl who fw it, everyone else is confused by what it’s supposed to do

kindred viper
#

it does slap, but it's not always something you can line from what i can understand? mby i'm just dumb

frank knoll
#

I just press whatever is lighting up as enhance

#

Or healing surge if I’m dying

#

I’m sure there’s a 10head way to play it but w/e

mild thunder
#

it literally boils down to "keep stormstrike on CD, dont waste maelstrom stacks"

#

you dont even take lava lash as enh unless you're playing the lava lash build that kinda sucks

frank knoll
#

Ele blast and stormstrike

mild thunder
#

enh tree is too similar to the fury tree, where it incentivises you to pick which 1-button rotation you want

frank knoll
#

Ascendance/Doom winds just spam wind strike ?

mild thunder
#

do i wanna stormstrike spam or lava lash spam?

fading steppe
#

how does the stat distribution look like for arms?

kindred viper
sharp meteor
#

basically mastery bad in general and vers bad for dam

#

crit good but not consistent

#

haste good

fading steppe
mild thunder
#

when you dont want crit

sharp meteor
#

vers top prio kind of scuffed

#

not sure if it's worth building defensive stat in current meta

mild thunder
sharp meteor
#

bad for dam but makes u take less dam

fading steppe
#

true, i am a based mastery stacker warrior

mild thunder
#

it's not even that bad for dmg

sharp meteor
#

but taking more dam usually result of poor cd usage and/or positioning

mild thunder
#

all of arms' stats are realistically pretty close

sharp meteor
#

ya

#

honestly can play w/e it all kind of

mild thunder
#

and then we have one stat that also just makes us tankier

sharp meteor
#

depends on gameplan

mild thunder
#

so yea that's definitely our best stat

sharp meteor
#

that's just it vers worse for dmg

#

but good because dmg reduction

fading steppe
#

current setup

sharp meteor
#

actually probs comparable to crit in terms of overall but crit is also difficult to get the exact value of because

#

if u crit 2-3 times during go

#

the game just ends

#

cos they dead

mild thunder
sharp meteor
mild thunder
#

you're not losing games based on stats

sharp meteor
#

honestly all crit is fine

#

u just have to kind of

mild thunder
#

no one here can give you a perfect breakdown of what to run

sharp meteor
#

know that ur power is in goes

fading steppe
#

playing vanilla rn so its hard to keep track of cds

mild thunder
#

the easiest? the base UI

fading steppe
#

(i have never played pvp)

mild thunder
#

other than that, ThreatPlates probably

fading steppe
#

does it like show enemy cds like trinket and stuff?

fading steppe
#

ah nice, ty

tardy schooner
#

Hey, I am new to warrior in pvp. and was wondering why some high rated 3v3 players are taking thunderclap and blood and thunder talent? is it just because its easier to spread rend?

sharp meteor
#

uh pad numbers in bgs for their 1300 cr viewers or something

rotund trellis
sharp meteor
#

the talents suck in arena

rotund trellis
#

oh in bgs yeah

tardy schooner
#

all the time

#

2.8k in 3v3 does not look like someone who is padding^^

sharp meteor
#

that's probs more his comp than anything

#

can't think of arena scenario where clap is worth

tardy schooner
#

but there are many people in regular 3v3 (not solo shuffle) who are using it at higher brackets lately

sharp meteor
#

unless ur like stacking 3-4 targets all game

rotund trellis
#

I mean maybe in a full melee lobby?

sharp meteor
#

sweep rend

tardy schooner
rotund trellis
#

like, tc is inferior to hamstrings in every way

sharp meteor
#

ya that's kind of troll

tardy schooner
#

not really getting why

#

thats why I was wondering

sharp meteor
#

not rly getting why it's not troll

rotund trellis
#

yeah it's 30 rage for 20% slow vs hamstring 10 rage for 50% slow

sharp meteor
#

tc is no dam and week slow

#

u already apply rend which is weak easily

#

seems good in high target situations but u aren't cleaving 4-5 people all game in 3s

#

like if u wanna play it go ahead

tardy schooner
#

nah I was just wondering. because i don“t get it^^ but I thought if the highest rated warrior in the world plays with it most of the time, then there should be a reason behind it. dont think he is just trolling

sharp meteor
#

honestly seems like comp mopre than anything else although

#

being able to play double dam trinkets on warr seems nice

#

also i think there's a case for no vers outside of gear

#

focus on output

rotund trellis
#

anyone has a macro for casting enr reg and using healthstone at the same time?

earnest wharf
#

you just type them one after the other...

sharp meteor
#

/use enraged regeneration, /use healthstone

#

although idk if i'd bind them together in your only bind of enraged regen

crisp jewel
#

Probably better to bind it to Rally, enraged regen is already a full heal if you have a target

sharp meteor
#

have u considered

#

just binding it

#

by itself

crisp jewel
#

Even then tho, it probably not good idea since sometimes you may rally for a teammate while your at full hp

#

Not like there is a ton of keybinds for war

earnest wharf
#

yea ideally you'd use it manually but if the question is how to macro those 2 things, there isn't anything in the game easier to macro lol

sharp meteor
#

yet there are people trying to bind ignore pain into mortal strike or overpower

earnest wharf
#

it's literally 2 commands next to each other

rotund trellis
mild thunder
#

@grand scaffold why

sharp meteor
#

It's all making sense now.

rotund trellis
#

I don't think HS should be binded with rallying. You can use rallying for the team at large, while enr reg is used when you're low in health

#

it may give an extra kick

#

and get you to full faster

mild thunder
#

Neither should be macro’d

#

Just press them individually, fury has like 2 buttons

indigo barn
#

The only 2 things to bind together are heroic leap and prismatic bauble

#

Gives you the gayest heroic leap

sharp meteor
#

šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ

#

I had it bound into fel rush.

mystic barn
#

I macro ignore pain into over power

indigo barn
#

I macro rampage into slam xeos

sharp meteor
mystic barn

šŸ—æ

spark oyster
#

Am I doing something wrong? My pain and gain does more healing than BT heal or enraged regen heal in a match and destro locks having more healing as well. This is with the BT spam spec.

mild thunder
#

definitely sounds like you're doing something wrong, which would be amazing since all you have to do is spam bloodthirst

spark oyster
#

Right?

#

But admittedly that match was me chasing 3 ranged dps the whole time so maybe not a great example. I’ll do more matches.

frank knoll
lean burrow
#

blood rage if you got amplified curse of exhaustion vs locks

or any other root

naive cedar

So warrior is extremely op. looking for tips on how to get it nerfed

#

@sharp meteor

sharp meteor
sage raptor
#

unnerf prot coward

#

its not my fault you made the spec with the most fun gameplay loop a tank

sharp meteor
#

It's still kind of weird to me that they didn't find a way to bring back Gladiator stance.

naive cedar
#

waryor is damagur

sage raptor
#

it'd make a great capstone

#

maybe 10.1

You're doing it wrong

copper hare
#

So

#

what slot to craft unity on?

sage raptor
#

Trinket

#

Obv

grand scaffold
naive cedar
#

how would u guys nerf warrior?

sage raptor
#

By making prot s tier

#

Ez

copper hare
#

by buffing rogues more, obviously

what kind of question is that

sage raptor

If you REALLY want to nerf warrior

Bring back glad stance

Absolute chad

grand scaffold
naive cedar
#

cuz op. duck taught me that

grand scaffold
#

not op

#

:/

#

rogue is op

#

frost mage and destro are op

#

not warr

naive cedar
mild thunder
#

It is kinda weird to join a class server and then immediately start asking how said class should be nerfed, especially when it’s not really one of the major over-performing specs right now

naive cedar
#

its def over performing in shuff and in 3s under like 2600 rating

mild thunder
#

Representation =/= power

naive cedar
#

has high representation and high winrate in those brackets

#

sin is definitely more op

#

but war is still v strong

mild thunder
#

No one here said it wasn’t strong. But in need of nerfs? There’s a half dozen specs ahead of it in that regard

naive cedar
#

half a dozen? there's like 2

mild thunder
#

Disc, assa, destro, ele, frost/arcane probably, sub probably

naive cedar
copper hare
#

on like

#

1.6 mmr

near delta
#

Arms is OP but not as OP as the most OP specs.

mild thunder
#

^

naive cedar
#

warrior is a statistical anomaly in shuff and in lower mmr in terms of winrate and playrate

dawn sail
#

shut up pod

naive cedar
#

because of the

near delta
#

It's too bad ludus labs is gone now.

#

There's a difference between a spec's representation on the leaderboard vs overall on the ladder. It's not enough to just count the number of warriors above a certain threshold and say okay yeah that means it's OP. Warrior has always been super popular since it's easy to get into and is sorta iconic as a pvp spec.

unique fox
#

Because lower mmr shuffle players are brain dead

near delta
#

If there's 40 warriors above 2400 let's say and 20 assassination rogues but there are 10,000 warriors overall and 3,000 assa rogues on the ladder. Which is more OP? Simplified ofc.

i liked the reflexology tool, was fun to play with

near delta
#

The problem is checkpvp just has raw numbers

unique fox
#

Wonder how checkpvp keeps the lights on

near delta
#

Apparently, the API ludus was using was deprecated or something so RIP

steep inlet
#

Expiation no longer double dips from damage modifiers, no longer critically strikes, and no longer ignores damage reduction effects.

The owner has a thing where people can donate for elite checker status now

grand scaffold
unique fox
#

btw anyone tried a rend/dragonroar build with haste yet?

grand scaffold
#

you want crits

#

big crits

mild thunder
grand scaffold
mild thunder
#

most arms players stack haste to at least 10-15% haste

#

i stack haste/crit to about 20/20

grand scaffold
#

10% haste is not the same as stacking haste

mild thunder
#

but yea there's definitely a reason to stack haste - it smoothens the spec and is very good for overall dps

grand scaffold
#

meh

mild thunder
#

assuming nothing has changed since i last checked, haste outscales crit quite measurably for arms

#

at higher stat levels

grand scaffold
#

one sec

unique fox
#

some nerd has probably done the math

mild thunder
#

it's not controversial, haste is very strong for arms

#

has been for a while

copper hare
#

100% preference and playstyle

mild thunder
#

^

copper hare
#

there is no better or worse

unique fox
#

feels like perhaps 45%+ crit during warlords might be overkill

grand scaffold
mild thunder
#

to clarify, when i said haste outscales crit, that's specifically for pve

grand scaffold
#

pve says crit

copper hare
#

thats actually wrong, idk what you're lookin at

#

pve arms stacks full haste xd

mild thunder
#

ndogo, actually read the text before posting the screenshot

grand scaffold
#

ok this is wowhead mr archimtiros wrote it

mild thunder
#

please

grand scaffold
#

says crit > haste and varies frequently

#

🤨

mild thunder
#

and yea iirc there's a graph that shows stat scaling for arms and haste overtakes crit pretty significantly at higher %levels

grand scaffold
mild thunder
#

Keep in mind that these weights can shift considerably, as Critical Strike and Haste have a complicated relationship - both increase rage generation, but Haste also increases the rate at which that rage can be spent by speeding up the GCD, thereby allowing more abilities to fit into de/buff windows such as Colossus Smash. While the two can frequently flip position, it's a good idea to focus on both until at least the point of diminishing returns.

it's a good idea to focus on both

copper hare
#

it's also outdated. Was the beginning of the season. Every pve arms stacks full haste since the rework.

mild thunder
grand scaffold
#

am i missing something?

copper hare
#

talent shifting and overpower buffs.

mild thunder
#

completely changed how arms was being played in pve

#

especially ST

copper hare
#

10.0.5 came with an arms overhaul

grand scaffold
mild thunder
#

but yea TL;DR, crit and haste both very good for arms pvp, stack whatever you want

#

it's not gonna lose you games

#

unless you're a mongoloid mastery stacker, and even then

#

all the disc rerollers losing their minds because they cant sustain 30k dps as a healer anymore bedge

unique fox
#

expiation is for sure some of the dumbest shit we've had to endure yet

copper hare
#

Next week, Disc: All Damage increased by 10% to compensate

#

Watch

wheat jay

Inb4 bm gets another buff xD

grand scaffold

did disc get nerfed?

#

What’s up with every lobby now has 6000 casters ?? Every lobby is frost mage lock.. so tilting

mild thunder
#

they're still crazy tho

grand scaffold
wheat jay
#

Dmg is there but brain is not xD

#

You spam 2 buttons

#

Its retarded

mild thunder
#

so, typical bm? xD

#

pets do 80% of your dmg while you cope that you're a good player

wheat jay
#

I went back to survi for the last few games

mild thunder
#

sv is the second most chad spec

#

sv is the brother spec arms deserves

#

not fury

wheat jay
#

If only it didnt have a pet

#

It would be the most fun spec in the game

mild thunder
#

isnt the pet-management one of the highest skillcaps of the spec tho? feels like it would kinda be gutted w/o it

wheat jay
#

Pets are retarded

lean burrow
#

make aspect of eagle passive

#

and we got a new ranged hunter

wheat jay
#

I told kargo few times, it should be a toggle

#

Full range but 20% less dmg

mild thunder
#

dude why is every second spec a bloody pet spec these days

wheat jay
#

Passive dmg is king now

mild thunder
#

enh out here with their 2 wolves, bm and their 100 pets, demo and uhdk with their armies, even ele has a pet for most of a match

#

it's so cringe

wheat jay
#

Meanwhile warrior is the pet in all comps

#

Just walk forward and do dmg

mild thunder
#

we're somehow squishier than lock pets i stg

wheat jay
#

Naaaah

#

Warrior is far from squishy xD

mild thunder
#

we're tanky as balls into melee

#

still feel like paper into casters tho

wheat jay
#

Well, everyone is paper into casters

#

Lock doing 40k without casting a single spell is a joke

mild thunder
#

but arms should always be one of the tankiest specs in pvp imo

#

if not the tankiest

wheat jay
#

And do same dmg as now?

grand scaffold
mild thunder
#

ive always said im happy with arms being a mid-dmg spec that's very tanky

sharp meteor
mild thunder
#

that's the best design philosophy for arms

wheat jay
#

I agree

#

Arms is the disruptor

#

Not oneshot machine xd

mild thunder
#

exactly, it's the way it works best

sharp meteor
#

Demo pet actually can't die.

lean burrow
#

warrior needs "army shout" that summons an army of warriors

#

like dk's army

mild thunder
#

arms "damage" should come through its ms and sharpen

lean burrow
#

and "squire" pet like dk's ghoul

mild thunder
#

instead of real damage

lean burrow
#

and something like "unholy stench" that debuffs everyone around like unholy blight

wheat jay

Need mountaindew for healing

swift folio
#

If you have gear above 411 is it still worth it to get the honor gear for PvP (except trinkets)

wheat jay
#

No

sharp meteor
#

Maybe but probably not. Just keep it simple, spend 8k or whatever and get honor gear.

swift folio
#

OK nvm then, I though getting more vers would be beneficial rather than. Having higher ilvl

spark oyster
#

if you find yourself dying easy with defensives, then yeah the vers will matter.

wheat jay
#

Usually what you want is more dmg

#

Meaning you want higher ilvl

junior coral
#

is drakebreakers set best for pvp until purples?

spark oyster
#

not really. but its an option while getting gear.

#

at best; the 2 piece which is typically belt/wrist unless youre a class that needs crafted belt or wrist.

#

the blues from honor vendor are "best"

mild thunder
spark oyster
#

it doesnt? well fuck, drake's useless then

mild thunder
#

if it did, everyone would be using it weird

spark oyster
#

any1 else find sophic and similar enchants lacking compared to proc amounts of frozen devotion? trying to decide what enchants to go with. Perhaps its just user pref.

torn condor
#

Any ground-rules for prioritizing stats? I've been focusing on vers+crit (arms), but noticed that lot's of players on the leaderboards are spreading their stats out after they reach a certain threshold. When and why do you start leaning into haste or mastery?

I'm getting the conquest neck today and want to know which one to go for and how to gem it.

how is that one global?

mild thunder

yea death needs to be toned down

hot solstice
#

it was normal hit btw

mild thunder
#

and schism mod should be tuned back to like

#

10%

#

if they did that, it'd probably be mostly fine - disc has always been an offensive/damage-focused healer, and i dont think they should change that

#

just current tuning is wild

hot solstice
#

2stack PS is bullshit

#

same as lifeswap

mild thunder
#

eh, i dont think double PS is the end of the world

#

or swap

hot solstice
#

its not

wheat jay
#

You say that as if people werent doing horrendous dmg

mild thunder
#

but if PS has 2 charges, it should be a longer CD

#

probably

hot solstice
#

but the fact that disc can go full yolo while trading infinite cds

mild thunder
#

disc doesnt have the healing throughput of other top tier healers, it relies on those major CDs and other forms of mitigation

Hunter fully relies on kiting

hot solstice
#

why? its surv

mild thunder
#

fuck bladestorming for damage into hunters

hot solstice
#

sweep and go

mild thunder
#

just kill them in 2 mortal strikes

#

ggez

wheat jay
#

If you spam bladestorm for dmg against hunters then its skill issue

hot solstice
#

at least he cant scatter u on colosus

wheat jay
#

Ah yes, you lose 1/3 of scatter

#

Of cs*

#

And he cant dmg you

hot solstice
#

not realy

mild thunder
#

i mean

hot solstice
#

2/3 actualy

mild thunder
#

sv can damage you through scatter

wheat jay
#

How long is cs?

#

Scatter is like 3

hot solstice
#

enough for him to run in zimbabwe

wheat jay

sharp meteor
#

I mean it doesn't have to hit hard when they're also avoiding all of your damage.

mild thunder
#

altho ig you're not running explo there

wheat jay
#

Chakram breaks afaik

mild thunder
#

not unless they fixed it

wheat jay
#

Explo you rarely run cuz it breaks cc

hot solstice
#

I dont like to break roots with bs in most cases cause I will need to use chharge after anyway

mild thunder
#

been a few weeks since i played my hunter but chakrams still wasnt breaking scatter

wheat jay
#

Piercing howl okayge

hot solstice
#

anyway

#

its just bicmex

wheat jay
#

I mean, if theyre in Zimbabwe after you slowed them by 70%, and they used trap, then they used disengage

#

Meaning if you charge and slow, they cant get away

mild thunder
#

yea idk if it's worth complaining about class balance in a dead bracket against literally one of the best players in the world (and the most hansdsome)

wheat jay
#

Ye that too

hot solstice
#

I mean even 1 sec staying in root is enough

hot solstice
#

I am not a robot to insta bs cancel into piercing

wheat jay
#

Macro it?

#

I have bs cancel macroed to half of my stuff okayge

mild thunder
#

i have no macro slots left

hot solstice

used them all with ignore pain macros

Bajheera is like what could have happen to Swiffty if he was 20 years yonger

#

Bicmex needs to start lifting tho

mild thunder
#

swifty has gotta be like

Imagine Chris Bicmexstead

hot solstice
#

If classic pandaria happened tomorrow, would u go there or stay DF?

mild thunder
#

wait, this isnt a classic mop waiting room server?

wheat jay
#

Id instantly go to legion tho

#

No 2nd thoughts

mild thunder
#

legion 😓

#

mop xeos

wheat jay
#

Mop wack

#

Legion BIS

mild thunder
#

mop is unironically peak wow

hot solstice
#

fun thing DF hp numbers r close to mop ones

#

but while u had 560khp last season mop u had less damage numbers than rn on retail

mild thunder
#

mop had the best pvp, the best spec design, the best zone design, the best music, cool raids, cool aesthetic, cool reps and mounts

#

and id be able to go back and do the challenge mode stuff

frank knoll
#

I bet people complained the whole time during MoP too

hot solstice
frank knoll
#

I remember that playing Vanilla and ppl were like EQ is better Wow is too easy
Then I started back in Legion and people were nostalgic for Wrath and MoP

#

Only expacs nobody is fond of is BfA WoD and SL

mild thunder
#

WoD was impeccable for pvp

#

it's only the cringe pvecels that hate it

hot solstice
#

Imagine every wow expansion had amount of raids same as WOTLK

sharp meteor
#

os was 1 room of reused assets

#

naxx was literally copy pasted

#

ulduar was cool

frank knoll
#

ā€œWahh AFK at at garrison nothing to doā€

sharp meteor
#

toc was literally a room of reused assets

mild thunder
#

a good xpac doesnt need more than 3-4 raids

#

classic raids were also easy af

frank knoll
#

That’s what ppl say about WoD

sharp meteor
#

mf they'd disembowel the devs these days for the shit they pulled in wotlk keks

sharp meteor
#

which is why we got 6 years of braindead tedium; most people don't do group content and require structure to avoid getting bored

mild thunder
#

i remember people in wod complaining that the game was too casual-friendly and that there was no grind

#

those retards gave birth to BfA and SL critcake

sharp meteor
#

wod had too many bold ideas

#

like solo players don't get nice things, not even lfr appearances

#

and no flying in current content which was honestly a fine idea for the purposes of like the world

#

most people legit just wanna log in and efficiently fill a bar critcake

mild thunder
#

im going to give my hottest take yet and say that i like limitations on flying at the start of an xpac

sharp meteor
#

no interest in zones, quests, raids, dungeons, just how easily they can fill their dopamine bar

mild thunder
#

BUT it has to be coupled with interesting zones

#

SL zones were way, way too boring for no flying

#

except zereth

sharp meteor
#

ya i think it's better to have flying disabled initially

#

everybody just noclipping around the map sort of cringe

#

just nobody on the roads, everybody flies from settlement to city

mild thunder
#

like the zone design rn is some of the best since mop

#

but do we see it? nope

sharp meteor
#

luv the big zones

mild thunder
#

because i zoom tf through all 4 zones in under a minute

sharp meteor
#

ya

#

i just find that most peoples enjoyment of something usually depends on how quick/easy it is

mild thunder
#

this xpac is incredibly casual friendly

#

which is good

green wyvern
#

they fired all their QA people

#

bugs are everywhere

#

it's crazy

thick reef
sharp meteor
#

Yeah, people complained during wotlk/mop.

thick reef
#

The wide spread constant complaining didnt really start as a major thing till WoD, stopped mid way through Legion once blizzard had spent their half year fixing it.

sharp meteor
#

Remember it's not cool to like something until it's old okayge

thick reef
#

People always complained, didnt say they havent.

sharp meteor
#

Also imagine all the people skipping mop because of Pandaren.

thick reef
#

Their lose.

I also do tire of that dumb narrative that people only like things in retrospect. MoP was praised by people not bitching about Pandaren up till SoO happened.

People still agree WoD and BfA were dog shit (and will continue to do so for SL I can guarantee)

#

But SoO soured a lot of people as did Pandaren.

compact oak
#

Do most of you have your main rotation on 1-5 keys and often move foward by pressing both mouse buttons at the same time?
(even with an MMO mouse)

thick reef
#

The whole "People only like it afterwards" thing has only applied to MoP becasue its rought start and bad finish. Even Cata thsoe who were around still look at back mostly unfavorably.

sharp meteor
#

Wod was weird because the dungeons/raids/zones were all good

#

Casuals just got shit on mega hard and quit

#

so the patches dragged on

thick reef
#

It was the start of raid or die.

sharp meteor
#

oh and that's also when they tried to do yearly expansions or w/e

sharp meteor
#

you raid or pvp

thick reef
sharp meteor
#

shit like timeless isle or w/e was just catchup

#

also decent gear for trivial content is fucking weird

mild thunder
#

timeless isle gladge

thick reef
#

WoD was rushed, it was a new dev team, it was very notably unfinished. There were no quests or grinds to do after the leveling like you had with past expansions which would have world stuff to do. There was no means of geting gear other than raiding since they devalued dungeons entirely

sharp meteor
#

wtf did people do with their shitty world gear anyways

#

it was actually pointless for 99% of casual stuff

thick reef
#

getting better gear is itself a rewarding task.

Its something the Diablo 3 team learned. Player retention always went up when they made gear easier because getting gear is itself a strong motivator no matter what you're doing.

sharp meteor
#

like i did almost every scrap of casual/solo content on a rat geared char and it made no diff

#

45 year olds logging on to get a slightly higher ilev boots that they're goin to use to do the same world quests

#

are actually fried

thick reef
#

One of their lead devs had a speech about it once. About how it was a huge mistake making gear rare.

#

I mean this is true for any MMO or game with a gear based system.

sharp meteor
#

u get enough gear from solo stuff to hop into low end group stuff

thick reef
#

You can outright buy gear just below raid level in FFXIV and people fucking love it.

sharp meteor
#

only thing holding people back in wow is their unwillingness to play with each other

thick reef
#

Well that and a virulent community that will refuse to acknowledge you if you dont already have gear that you can only get by doing said group content.

sharp meteor
#

that's not the right way of looking at it

thick reef
#

The hell its not.

sharp meteor
#

standards are set by those willing to join

#

people aren't being gatekept arbitarily they're just

#

worse than the 120 other applicants

#

although the 45 year olds who buy aotc/ksm carries

thick reef
#

The ilvl gap in WoW is massive for no real reason making it terribly bar of entry for anyone starting into it.

sharp meteor
#

don't comprehend this

#

pugging keys at this stage is also unbearable everything in the mid range is awful

thick reef
#

When people arent being accept for both not having gear and not having enough ranking then yes, its a dumb situation. The problem is people arent being permitted to show if they're good enough, or if they're new, not getting the opprotunity to learn.

sharp meteor
#

lemme check exp

#

lemme check logs

#

ya they not good

#

next

thick reef
#

Thats my point yes.

sharp meteor
#

every dh with 1 kick used in an entire dungeon: ugh i just need a chance to prove myself

thick reef
#

You cant get experience if you're being stopped at the door because you dont have the gear you can only get by doing the content you're not being permitted into.

sharp meteor
#

i got bored and healed a few hundred keys last season

mild thunder
#

there are plenty of good guilds with players that are willing to do low level keys and help newer players

sharp meteor
#

there is not a single good player with gutter io/logs

#

there are no hidden gems

#

just people that think they're being gatekept

mild thunder
sharp meteor
#

ya

#

sitting there watching a dh just blur nothing for 10 minutes

#

watching the whole group not use healthstones/potions

fickle forge

Healing gives you a different perspective on keys I think

#

Healing/tanking keys is the most engaging PvE group content tbh

sharp meteor
sharp meteor
frank knoll
#

I was horrible at M+ until I healed for a season, now I get a pretty high io every season. At the bare minimum I get the KSM mount

sharp meteor
#

watch 3 people just not use any defensives for deathmegatornado 9000

frank knoll
#

Yeah, people don’t even have them on their bars in PvE lol

sharp meteor
#

kind of itching to get back into key healing it was kind of fun hm

frank knoll

I got like a 2.1 io on my demo lock, then stopped. I don’t enjoy the dungeon rotation this season

SR should at least last a full sec. Would make it broken in PvE, yet at least it would do what you would expect in PvP.

Only good combat, rest is mediocre

You're just a student that should be expelled and locked up in azbakan forever for how many people you absolutely Slaughter xD

is it worth dropping fatality for fbv with this build?

sharp meteor
#

Fueled is a bit of trickle healing and Fatality can be like a 100k hit on somebody in execute range.

#

Issue with Fatality is that shuffle can be too quick to stack it.

Outside solo shuffle fatality is bis

I fuckin living it
