    ITT, a_skeleton_02 gets carried by a mythic guild and thinks he's top notch. We've thought about trying to gather people for mythic raiding, but honestly, there aren't enough of us and we don't have the time (or enough interest, apparently). That doesn't mean we aren't interested in how our...

    So you're 7/7M / 3/3M then, right? It's all just pressing buttons, bro.

    I ran H EN as my Demon Hunter last week to prove a point. Yes, EN is easy at this point because we've done all of the hard work, but at the end of the day, this means that it came down to "can we heal a DH through this", and the answer was yes, without any issues. Some classes have advantages...

    I play at 10 and I was definitely not seeing some shit on that fight. Cleared my cache. We'll see.

    Wait, is this actually a thing? I was getting stunned by invisible shit on our last H Odyn attempt and thought I was just hallucinating or something.

    "a pretty unfortunate raid comp" Yes, I think that describes us fairly handily sometimes.

    Any AP items you get are valued based on your AK at the time. They will be a few hundred AP each if you started at AK0. There's nothing stopping you from getting AK15 and then turning in a bunch of quests that result in AP items at your now-inflated AK value, though.

    Yeah, of course, just making sure I have the class mechanics right. It's not that they're mitigating the damage. They're just spreading the damage out equally over x seconds while still taking any other incoming damage they'd normally take (i.e. from tanking him after they take a spear).

    BrMs are taking the same damage (or more), just spread out over time, no?

    Not everyone's in the guild. Don't think they can get in if they're not specifically on the list. I'd find the post to get access but searching for 1 of Noodle's posts is like finding a needle in a haystack. Edit: Found it, go here. https://www.rererolled.org/account/join-user-groups

    A little suffering is good for the soul. That and they don't have a choice but to listen to us bitch, because without us, they'll have hunter pets tanking.

    Just echoing this. I run with about 4.7M hp flasked. I can live through a spear, but that's assuming I'm at 100%, which I am never at when I start running from a spear, because I've just been tanking him normally for 10-15s. The first spear is fine because I'll have Shield Wall up. The second...

    Can never get enough Jericho. He's a great performer. Owens might become just as good over his career in WWE. Gotta see how he'll do once they turn him face, though, because that's the true test. I'm looking at you, Reigns.

    Doesn't matter, we're all taking 2-3 weeks off work for this content patch, amirite? Because we're hardcore and all that.

    Yeah, well, that's Withered Training for you. Thalyssra is on crack anyway. She doesn't know where she is, let alone where you are, and it shows.

    Doesn't help you in a situation where the thing you're watching isn't the thing talking, either. The aforementioned scorpions are a good example of this.

    I leave the sounds on. Music off. I want DBM to scream at me so that when I fall asleep at the keyboard, I can still run out of shit and/or taunt in time.

    Yeah, it's definitely not negligible. Alone, it won't save me, but let's put it this way: When I stop hitting Hyrja during p1 of Odyn because we're so damn melee heavy, I notice that I need more healing. If I'm hitting her, I almost never drop below 50%.

    I gotta say, I'm glad they didn't nerf either the warrior heal bracers or the DH tank ring. Yet, anyway. Although I suppose any nerf to rage generation is a nerf to the heal bracer.

    Not shabby. Not ideal, but could be worse. I'm going to look at upping my haste, I think. Need to get some better luck with drops, because mine has sucked for secondary stats.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm at 50% mastery atm, only 11% haste though. 14% versatility. Might be off base on what is best. I don't know what my SB uptime is, either, but it can't be anywhere near 100% with that haste. I could switch most of that versatility out for haste but I'll only go there if it'll make a big...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    @Sumdain x , do you notice the haste making a huge difference in your mitigation? I'm assuming via SB uptime? My haste is stupid low, mostly because I've had horrible luck on drops, and I'm wondering how important getting it to ~30% is.

    I actually did this the other day, in reg Mythic HoV, because I wanted the fury artifact drop off Skovald and wasn't sure if loot spec set to fury was enough. It worked out pretty well. Only dropped below 50% hp once and no one managed to pull off me. Let's try it on Ursoc imo. I'll even use my...

    Looking forward to trying my dps on this fight once I get my fury artifact up that high. I haven't done it yet -- I'm tanking most of the time -- but it'll be interesting to see how high I can get the number.

    We had to tighten up our approach on Serpentrix and Wrath specifically because of all the bullshit constantly making our resto shm move around. It's not an issue if you run with the same group that knows how to deal, but in pugs, it would suck.

    Not disagreeing -- EoA is annoying -- but why, specifically, from a healing PoV? Just the winds/lightning forcing you to move, or?

    Depends on which troll you get. If name-calling is all they were doing, I wouldn't leave either. There are groups of people who offer to carry, your key, and just drop once you've started the thing because luls.

    They exist in order to force you to do specific challenges instead of allowing you to pick your own. Wanna do DHT+10 all day long? Too bad, you got BRH, sucker.
