Just finished this game as a lich on core. Great game, better than Kingmaker imo. Crusade management was way less tedious than kingdom management with all the advisors bs and dice rolls for events. The highlight of wotr for me was act 3 when your build come together (minus the mythic power) and...

You're dodging the question, what was your IO at the end of 9.0?

Exactly, people doing +20s would expect doing +15 first week. Was that your case Jayrebb? Queue times are mostly function of the DPS/tank/healer imbalance. The pride mechanic didn't help with tank supply, since it was very stressful. But the problem is more deep than that. They have the same...

You're not comparing it right. In 9.0 it took me 3 weeks of progression before completing a 15s. In 9.1, I did it the first week. The ennemies in a 15 from 9.1 are way stronger than in a 15 from 9.0, so idk why you would expect to pug them right away because you had KSM in 9.0.

That's just being dramatic, someone else was accepted in that group. This more about dps/healer/tank imbalance than anything. He's just complaining about some random guy not making the right choice in picking him, lame. I'm not sure what that even means, but getting to 15s in 9.1 is way easier...

What? That's non sense, I'm playing 9.1 (and my guild imploded at SLG last patch lolz). You can still pug.

No. You're going to have to run higher keys to get KSM without timing the keys. You won't have these keys anyway since you can't time the previous one. And you still get scored on how long it took you even for these higher keys (eventually bottoming at 0 score if it's too long). I suspect the...

I've pugged for progression (to KSM and heroic raid in 9.0), no choice when you're a new player (started playing for the first time in years in 9.0). It was fun for me, but I played alot and I chose a meta spec/cov. I can understand how bad it would be for a casual player playing a non-meta...

WoW definitely drifted away from a classical MMORPG. As someone who likes all the core activities (M+/raid/arena), I guess WoW is a great game, but a bad MMORPG.

Here's why you don't enjoy WoW: you're not playing the game. WoW isn't a solo player campaign. I understand the frustration over WoW not being a classical MMORPG anymore, but the gameplay is still incredibly fun and has ton of depth. With the new patch out, you aim to get AOTC, keystone master...

They are not useless, but it is a very rough learning curve and team dependant. You have to respect every single offensive CD in the game. Most of the time, when DH or anyone "melt instantly", there is a clear misplay that lead to that. But it takes a while to recognize these situations. Some...

Fair point, but that doesn't address the covenant issue. Can you even DH tank without elysian decree? Also, there was a long period of time during the xpac during which you did not have 3+ leggo.

Pretty sure that's duelist (2k1) tho, not 2k. Don't think arenamate shows anything below duelist. 2k is def attainable for most classes with a good script and decent grasp of the fundamentals. Still, she must had to go through tons of decent rogue/mage team, which must be pretty hard for...

Juji got jew'd, and I wouldnt be surprised if tom guy is an actual jew by the way he looks and acts.

Mythic is hard when progressing mythic the first weeks of the patch. Doing mythic right now is very fun and casual. Casual guild at 220+ ilvl can easily get 6/10 as the above poster said. With perseverance and a few more nerfs, these guilds will get Cutting edge. The first challenge of mythic...

Having played shadowlands and vanilla WoW... both are just very different experiences. Vanilla WoW was about character progression, you played the same char for months if not years and slowly acquire gear and slowly discover new content. In retail, it is more about the gameplay experience, gear...

I've been trying the mythic raid (currently 6/10) and playing my boomkin alt. It's been really fun, lot better than raiding back then in vanilla (much less waiting). My boomkin though... this is the most fun ive had in pvp ever. He is an assassin. Convoke with stealth, 3 different sprints...

Fortified can be lame since you can cheese most bosses with lust/pride. Tyrannical actually requires you to strategize and do boss mechanics. It's telling when a 1k2 rio fortified dps goes into tyrannical not knowing how to stun the girl when she casts her big aoe on DoS. Tyrannical isn't that...

I was surprised to not see more Boomkin in MDI with tyrannical affixes. On live, no one pushes during tyrannical, so it's more understandable that boomkin aren't the top pushers. Might be because they actually pull 1-2 packs with bosses even in +18 tyrannical lol.

Watching the MDI (M+ competition), every team has a fire mage, haven't seen a boomkin or a MM. Looks like disc priest is being played (NE with shadowmeld). Is disc better than resto druid for those massive MDI pulls? Monk and unholy dk also very popular.

1.7k dps overall is very low even for 198 ilvl.

I puged everything up to heroic sire D. I stopped at sire D after a few bad experiences (I felt like I would waste lot of time trying to pug him). I will def give it another try soon for aotc. I'm doing the 10 +14 per week, 2 torghast, and some pvp for conquest. Since I'm a healer I don't waste...

I need to time a +15 Necrotic Wake for Keystone master achiev, then I'll probably do arenas and maybe try the mythic raid. I just find it a bit lame that half my gear will be 226 before I start mythic raiding. I'm not sure I'll have enough motivation to raid. I have really enjoyed the expansion...

That's true, but if it is compounded like that then the rng on powers is going to be more important than base stats or anything. I dunno how they are going to balance that without making it trivial.

How is it going to be joke with better gear? It seems to be more about getting OP powers than your gear. You can do 100kdps with 300khp with bad gear and good powers, it's not like your baseline gear matter much at this point.

I'm sad they did not make M+ grinding a legit way of gearing. I have timed a couple of +14 by now, and don't see the point of pushing anymore. I cannot get any significant upgrades even from doing +15 (max upgrade +3ilvl). My friend doing RBG gets two 226 items per week, one more than me, and I...

One of my best run this week was a timed +11plaguefall (almost ++ if not for dps dying to tentacles on last boss), but there are still things I am not sure about 2 bosses and I cannot find it in guides. 2nd boss (mad scientist) did some heavy grp dmg at some point of the fight. I believe it was...

Holy priest are doing good in M+, may even be better than Disc.

One veng DH asked me what spec I was, and when I answered "Disc" he promptly left the M+ group lol. What I dont like about disc atm is that I cannot realiably heal with attonement, there is way more shadow mend spamming than I'd like. It's decent HPS, but not very efficient mana wise. What I...

Yea just did a NW +9 easily (with 5min to spare). We landed the 1st hook on fixate but not the one after when he jumps back. But honestly, it makes a world of difference when you have big dick dps. You can fail mechanics and simply plow through. So far, as a Disc priest, the only +10 i've...

Necrotic wake is the one I failed at +7, due to the mad scientist boss (the one you need to hook). We ended up having like 3-4 abominations and couldn't keep up. It looked like a dps check to me, but maybe we're missing something. Are you supposed to be able to reliably hook the boss a 2nd time...

Is it me or tyrannical is way harder than fortified? I was pugging 10s last week but this week I m failing 7s on bosses. Also seems like some dps cheesed bosses the previous week without knowing the mechanics. One retadin didnt even know about soaking beams on halls last boss in a +9

I'm trying this new exp and haven't played since Vanilla. Pvp is honestly overwhelming for me atm, too many options, too many spec to learn. Also feels like individual skill matters less than teamplay compared to vanilla. Seems impossible to do much in 2v1 situations, too much...

You can do more than 50% of Atraks health with one boss using the new exotic sword without contest modifier. Last boss can probably be one phase (just saw a team get him close to last phase in one dps). New exotic sword likely better than fallen guillotine for burst

Tried for a couple of hours with randoms and got to the 2nd encounter? (the one with replicates). We got the strat down but execution was lacking, and we finally gave up. Good encounters though, was fun.

I don't get how their SMS verification would deter player from cheating if they have no cheat detection in the first place and no one gets banned. There are blatant cheaters that have been doing trials for months. I also wonder how hard it is to bypass sms verification for someone already cheating.

My biggest gripe right now is how unbalanced stasis appears to be in pvp, especially warlock melee and coldsnap nades. Yet, I've heard from really good players that coldsnap isn't that good and it's just a noobkiller. We will see, I may need to l2play.

Have to say this about Beyond Light though: hard to justify 50$ for so little content. Should be like half that price.

Yea there is almost no reliable science on this topic, its mostly experience/bro science. Imo, none of that matters too much for the average joe: your gains are mostly determined by genetics, diet, volume of training, and age, not the specifics of how exactly you perform each exercise. Just be...

As I said previously, if you have to fight through pain to do full range of motion, then don't do it. This is true for pain during the exercise but also lingering pain after the exercise. In my case, I had bad inflammation 1 day after low-bar squatting, so now I do Front squat to 90 degree...
