Anyone have problems with msmpeng.exe and this game? Try to start a game and it just hangs, music playing a mouse pointer responsive, but it does nothing. I don't want to disable Windows defender if not necessary even if I'm not sure how useful it is.

Yeah I get that, but I don't agree from a simulation perspective. Fury's rotation is quite easy, so is arms for a machine. Why is fury matching arms in sims then? Do the logs normalize not just for ilvl but also artifact traits and legendaries?

So don't go. Sounds like a train wreck wedding that would fun to spectate but not participate.

Edge screen looks really nice. I'm pretty sure I have no functional use for the edges, I just like that it makes the screen look bezel-less. I'm honestly considering buying one just for that over a midrange phone that has the same soc. In a market flooded with phones, gotta do something to...

Yeah, but I was thinking mythic logs would be that 5% only. I'm finding some fight have more ddr than I would like. This game's default ui is horrible at putting all the necessary information in one spot. Even with mods it's hard to ddr and rotate even 90%.

If you're not liking the mastery focus of arms, haste for fury is almost as bad. What do you mean by better than advertised? In sims, fury and arms are pretty close. I still can't figure out why fury is so underperforming. Is it mostly herd mentality and only the bads are playing fury?

First time doing HoV was on mythic. As a melee, fuck whoever designed that place. Felt like I was raiding old school. Tons of trash and melee danger.

But then you're stuck in furform for the rest of your career. I think they should take a clue from DH development and simplify classes into more distinct roles. No more 3 ranged dps specs for mages. No more 2 melee dps specs for DKs or warriors. Fewer roles means better delineation of flavor.

He's just phishing, don't fall for it!

Like Thunderfury or Atiesh?

You can modify the action list to only use certain sub lists and/or actions based on the number of targets available. For instance, in my AOE list, I include raging blow, a single target ability, up to 3 mobs.

Bastion. A very good reminder that games and story telling can still be done at a very high level.

Two pawn strings is definitely one way to do it. I generally keep stuff around if it might be an upgrade later, I'm not really lacking for bank space. I already have three strings for prot, arms, and fury and it's confusing when I'm arms and the stupid thing highlights a drop as an upgrade for...

Oh yeah, it still comes down to available gear. Which means BiS, *if* you accept versatility then mastery as your main stats, is pvp gear. Fun...feels like TBC all over again. Getting a titanforged amulet from those WQs is probably BiS for quite a while.

So, I can't figure out how to get from the logs to what gear they're wearing. The logs have it record obviously since it tells me what gear they are wearing, they just won't tell me the stats. Warcraft Logs - Combat Analysis for Warcraft I'm not sure using best-ranking logs is a good idea for...

This thread is now worse than playing hearthstone.

I thought of the problem with your comparison. By using just ignore pain to compare strength and versatility, you're ignoring that ignore pain is never up all the time and that it's a 90% absorb. Both of those reduce strength's reduction versus versatility's always on reduction. Of course no...

Versatility rating converts at 400:1. Honestly, I think that's too simplistic of an approach. There's other consideration like mastery, which enhances strength(but perhaps to a detriment in this equation) and there's the double dipping for versatility that's being left out. This type of stuff...

$versadmg is the damage and healing percent of versatility. If you have 10% increased damage from versatility, it also increases your IP by 10% multiplicatively. And then versatility also reduces damage you take by 5%. You can see this "$versadmg" used elsewhere in other absorb spells: Power...

According to weights from simcraft. Yes, the recent patch notes specifically states that protection warrior is still a work in progress, so the results should be taken with some reservation. But with how much versatility and ac(yeah, you don't have to worry about this stat anymore, I just use...

Well, what's within reason? Because it's worth less per point than vers and ac.

As in, to the detriment of other stats no matter what?

It's not a decision you have to make anywhere except trinkets, so I wouldn't worry that much about your weights being wrong there. I don't know the AGI tank classes that well, but I know for warrior, versatility and ac are king. I believe str is next and probably only because of IP. I can't...

Hah, didn't even know there was a HoMM 7.

Those look like tanking weights. Versatility and AC(and bonus ac for a few classes) definitely out weigh main stat.

You should definitely spend 5 minutes looking over the action list simcraft uses for your spec. Ask yourself "do/can I even play this way?". For instance, if you're an arms warrior, the action list is heavily skewed by the assumption of focused rage, the possession of a few legendaries, and...

Of course there are exceptions. I didn't mean to imply that seals should be your only usage of OH resources. Just compared to gold, especially after finishing questing, it seems easier to accumulate 7k OH resources than it does 7k gold.

Look into their newer plans instead of default renewing your existing grandfathered plan. You might find one of the new plans offers similar options but is cheaper and assumes you'll bring your own phone. Potentially similar costs in the end.

Calamir is the world boss. Don't think there was a patch or hotfix though.

Didn't play WoD nor know it was an issue then. That does sound stupid. Still, at least 1k and 2k order resources per week for a couple seals is pretty easy to do. Was it as easy to acquire in WoD?

My guess is that they couldn't find an OEM to play ball at those margins. The nexus line does not command that much market share.

I want to say they are changing that for 7.1? Or at least, they talked about getting gold on a bonus roll felt bad.

Order Hall resources should be used to buy seals after finishing upgrades.

I guess the IK set? But I'm skipping this season, especially since I reupped for wow.

This at least explains the unexpected recent balance changes.

The SimC lists are optimized for a machine, at the very least. Can you(or do you even want to) make this kind of decision split second...

Didn't take me that long! Couple hours to whittle down the list to something playable. Can't say I know rogue well enough though.

You think you know salt? Just wait until you drop 1k gold and then lose to your deck's counter 3 times in a row.

Finished simplifying simcraft's arms dps list. Remember, my goal was to make these human readable/playable so I could get more realistic comparisons and results. Even at 5 targets, it seems counter intuitive to use Colossus Smash, but it's a dps increase. The single target priorities still...

Supposedly worst tank spec in the game currently. Behind even the dodge/self heal tanks. I didn't play WoD, I'm not feeling like I'm missing anything from there besides some cool looking cosmetic mounts(though I never see anyone on my legit-earned ironbound proto...). Garrisons are definitely...
