    That's just depressing (that you guys are full-clearing Heroic with a non-AM using tank). Maybe I need to drop my friendly casual guild and do Mythic.

    I'm no scientist but running heavily on a 1300 calorie per day diet sounds like a surefire way to lose muscle mass -- I'm absolutely certain that I could pose this as a question to r/running or any similiar community and people would be like: ("Lol, no, eat a healthy 2000 calories a day minimum.")

    I didn't say tanking in Mythic was easy; I doubt any role is easy. What I meant was: DPS can look up top 1 percentile parses and have a goal to shoot for: do insane DPS without fucking up mechanics enough to wipe the raid. I have a minimum of sensibility required as a tank to beat fights on...

    Regarding bulking: I can play with TDEE calculators like anyone else, but like Itlan said, at the end of the day... its all about that moving average of scale weight. The issue is that we're estimating our activity level, which is another way of referring to "how is my body utilizing...

    I went from unranked to Plat with Sona in 55 games. Unsure of how the meta has changed in the last 2 months but I think she was the strongest support for solo queue -- no weak points of her game, late game she incredibly strong.

    I think what I might enjoy about it is how I actually feel important as a tank. The other fights just feel kinda "meh"; there is no way to really discern a great tank from a "good enough" tank. It annoys me that I have no way to excel.

    I've read about there being a maximum caloric deficit that the body can compensate for from fat stores; past that, its doing something unfavorable. 1300 sounds terribly low, even for a manlet marathon runner with a pre-teens muscle mass.

    I think Imp is a great fight to tank, love the differences between each phase and how we have to deal with the Mark. What's ridiculous to me is that, essentially, the tanks have to play perfectly for 13+ minutes which almost always happens... but the fucking glue-eating ranged crowd can't go a...

    Having a blast (not) pugging H.Imp. I only know the tank perspective; could someone tell me why people die to mines before the first intermission? I've spent an hour in a pug now and we still haven't even hit 2nd intermission. From my perspective, there are 2-4 mines down on the floor...

    H1Z1 (Not actually an MMO) - Server: Antidote (info in first post)

    Draegan, I have a handful of friends who made broad claims about particular companies or particular games from a moral high-ground of principle. As in: ("Fuck H1Z1; they burnt me on PS2 and I'll never play a Sony game again.") Then, when H1Z1 launches, it is amazingly fun and friend is like...

    All of you folks making claims about "gonna skip it for now" are straight fooling yourselves. If it gets amazing word of mouth after release and you have a few friends babbling about how fun it is, you're gonna buy it. I have friends like that who don't realize they go through a cycle of...

    The Repopulation

    Almost assuredly a deal-breaker for me. I need to move when I keypress; anything other is far too jarring and absolutely ruins gameplay for me.

    I went Warrior this time around after doing druid in TBC and Monk in Pandaria... too many expansion where I ended up being envious of warrior tanks, haha. That we can even have this discussion bodes well for overall tank balance, though.

    It's not spiteful hate -- at least, not from me... More like incredulousness that you're referring to Star Citizen as a game. At this point its a tech demonstration and a concept. So, you're right in a sense that E: D is not comparable to the IDEA of Star Citizen. Then again, how could...

    Eggs are amazing and cheap; I think they're about 10c a piece at my local Kroger. Ever since my wife blew my mind by telling me dietary cholesterol isn't linked to blood cholesterol, I eat a ton of eggs. They're like 60/30 fat/protein which is pretty damn filling.

    Casual Rerolled WoW guild - Hyjal Horde

    Just watching the pseudo-drama and I have to say: for a guild that initially advertised itself as Casual (its even in the thread title), I find it perplexing that a_skeleton_03 is saying that Mythic raiding has been a goal since the beginning and apparently people are getting benched instead of...

    I know very little about DK's, but wouldn't their self-healing be pretty nice for dealing with the inevitable stack or two of Blaze as well? A Warrior has a 60 second self-heal but thats about it.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm not sure about speed, but it does a 120k damage DOT for every stack which is fucking brutal. The Phemos tank is already getting WWed, now hes burning alive, and WW + fire really makes it tough for the healers to get over to save him.

    RL assigned the tanks the job of calling out abilities -- this was new to me, so he got impatient with me "fucking up" by missing some calls. I was feeling pretty overwhelmed with fire dodging + WW positioning. Blaze feels much more unforgiving on Mythic (as it should be). Overall, I wasn't...

    So, last night, a guild run of 17 brought in two tanks and a dps for Mythic Twins. I was one of the tanks (660 ilvl). I was assigned to Phemos and got absolutely fucked up by WW/Blaze positioning for the first few pulls. Then the RL politely fired me and swapped the other tank in. Pretty...

    It takes like, what, a week to level a 90 up to 100 epic once you already have an A-team? Just recruit your squad from the inn bench the extras.

    Time to bench those scrubs and recruit some more. PSA: Master Plan now shows you if you have an answer to the Highmaul Raid missions. It'll show your optimal group comp and if they have all the counters they need.

    If you're referring to my comment: your history of ultramarathons and your sub-par weight lifting routine led me to believe that your priority was running. I'm familiar with many of the common beginner to intermediate routines and none of them resemble what you're doing. So either you're A) an...

    Attempted Imperator for the first time this morning, realized raid wouldn't be able to do him, went back later and got the kill. 5 pulls total. It's nice coming in a few weeks after y'all cut your teeth on him haha.

    I didn't know that -- although I guess that might be why I've never seen it included in ANY plan I've read. My point was more along the lines of: "what the fuck plan is that", "its obvious he doesn't really care or he would have researched his way into something better, etc etc...". That...

    Lol, I agree with you, but seriously... anyone doing a routine like that really doesn't share your goal at all so they are unlikely to be persuaded by you hating on it. Ossoi wasn't convinced when the entire fucking thread mocked him for his coconut oil and meticulous BF% tracking -- because a...

    Don't be all salty like that -- its okay to wanna be hardcore as fuck but seriously if you want to go ham on WoW you either compete for top 1 percent PVP or mythic raid.

    Weigh and log your food, man. There is no great mystery here; if you're confused its because you're complacent. Most people tend to eat more to compensate for an increase in activity; its self-obvious, the body wants to maintain equilibrium, especially while being subjected to stress (in the...

    Yea you're right, however, I suspect Bliz needs more than just BRF to maintain subs. I have friends who would really enjoy something like Timeless Isle. They don't really like to raid; having some place to cut their teeth on fighting hard solo mobs would really really extend their sub length...

    Yea my point about that free seal is that its really only saving me a few hundred gold tops distributed over a weekly basis. That being said, none of the other large buildings are really that appealing either. Does the Gnomish Gearworks have any value for PVE?
