    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For mythic+ ? Sure they do - 1 min cooldown AOE stun is huge, and darkness is pretty handy. Ironically the mobility is mostly theoretical because it's all used on cooldown for the dps rotation.

    There's much simpler explanations - one, it makes it easy to program the hosts to not see them, two they are usually picking up hosts that have died violently and been lying around in the sun for hours. That shit is nasty, and you don't want it all over your clothes ;p

    Those dudes aren't supposed to have any access, white guy managed to steal some admin credentials from somewhere to run his pimping operation - his ass is immediately fired if he gets found out, which is plausible reason for blackmail being effective. 'I might get fired' vs 'I might start the...

    The dps to tank ratio for mythic+ is slanted the worst I've ever seen it in wow - whenever I search for pug dps I get 3-5 870s in under 30 seconds. It's an incredibly toxic environment for everyone who isn't super geared - it's hard not to take being rejected 40 times in a row personally - and...

    It doesn't account for anything, it's just filtering all the normal parses for people who have that legendary equipped. You can infer whatever conclusion you wish from the results. For that particular comparison, I'd suggest that void bolt is used too often for the wrists to gain any...

    No, not really. Warcraft logs actually lets you do parse breakdowns by equipped legendary, which gives you somewhat of a broader view of how good they are. In some cases the good ones are as much as 10% better than the awful ones, but overall they are a lot closer than you'd think. Warcraft...

    DPS in randoms are so whipped they will agree to anything. Try it - vote kick a dps completely at random with a comment like 'Tank is an asshole', 90% chance they will agree and kick them. I've had people agree to 'Just say no to votekick'.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    The first time you log in each day you will get a spectral acorn appear in your collection. You can add them to decks like any other card. When you use them you get 3 mana and threshold and they permanently change into a squirrel card, basically they are one shot buffs.

    Minor nitpick - that doesn't actually have anything to do with the turing test at all. It's literally that a person typing to a chatbot and a real person can't tell which is which with more than 50% accuracy. It probably needs a better test these days, as it's not so much chatbots passing the...

    Ignore pain is (28) * Attack power * (1 + $versadmg), so it basically double dips on versatility - versa multiplies the size of your IP, and then multiplies it again by reducing the size of hits being absorbed. ( e.g. a 1 mil IP will absorb 11 hits for 100k but nearly 14 hits for 80k )

    Demon hunter is way better than monk in that respect. The problem there is that for dps, 3/4 of your mobility skills are part of your rotation, so you spend the entire fight derping around like an idiot with a -75% chance to avoid mechanics. Tank wise I found it great fun though.

    I thought it was pretty good overall, but rate it last out of the marvel netflix ones - the bad guys just weren't compelling compared to the ones from previous installments. David Tenant made up for a lot of the shit in Jessica Jones, as the incredible fight sequences did for Daredevil, where...

    The constructed ladder has no entry cost. You just go in with your premade deck and fight people, it gives various prizes for reaching different leagues, and the top 64 of cosmic league go into a cash prize tournament at the end of the season.

    Hunter sprint is on a 3minute cooldown, it's been a particular nuisance for me given how fast tanks are now.

    As far as I know, legion crafts do not use your crafting skill for anything, so it's pointless unless you want some draenor crafted toys or whatever. Exception is probably engineering - there's lots of teleport toys that have a min engineering skill to use.

    Hmm, I see a lot of complaining about demon hunter mitigation, but a quick comparison among my various alts suggests they really aren't that different at similar gear levels ( slightly lower physical mitigation, higher avoidance ) and demon spikes is a far better active mitigation than anyone...

    Starting WOW - looking for advice and info

    It's waaaaay mpre important that you enjoy playing the class you pick than any other consideration. Don't try and plan out 'the best' optimal path at the expense of fun. If that means you both end up playing pirate rogues and have shitty queue times, that's still probably a better outcome than...

    I think they certainly intend to remove artifacts from relevance for the next expansion. It's actually a pretty clever way of having AAs without the ongoing power creep by effectively deleting them every expansion.

    It's not entirely clear to me how that one is working - it sort of seems there's no connection between the future versions of them and the past versions, other than the one-off letter, but it could also be showing results of the past time changes in the future. In any case, I have so say that...

    Bear tanks are great, but I wouldn't commit yet, blizz are still throwing around 50%+ nerfs and 100% buffs each balancing patch, so being in the lead isn't really a safe spot ;p

    I would not really call it a mystery show. There's a bit to start with but it's more kind of an adventure horror type thing. Think Stephen King I guess.

    That was very satisfying. Left a few potential hooks for a sequel* but wrapped up story nicely. * Alternatively they may just be being dicks along the horror story ending lines.

    Sure, I thought windwalker was massively improved, and unholy, arms, fury were a nice improvement. I think every class, except maybe warrior, has at least one spec update that sucked though. So you can probably get heaps of people who hate every class.

    Healers get a a huge dps buff in open world, which leads to some odd situations, such as disc being far better than shadow at levelling.

    You should check out affliction - if you spec endless corruption you are left with like 3 buttons, and one of them is only usable with soul shards. It doesn't seem to have any obvious performance issues, but it's damn weird to lose so many buttons.

    Playstyle didn't really change all that much from what I could see.

AOE was way worse than it used to be - you need maelstrom to use earthquake, and it's a...
