World of Warcraft: Current Year

Maw is pretty simple once you get used to it, you can always grab a mount on the left after leaving the cave. Mount dudes are scattered all over map. Buy the cheap portal item to jump back to venari. Seems most of the named have some kind of quest item for rep. Do the Jailer event once a week for a chance at a decent item (?) Avoid killing stuff unless its for a quest, complete your stuff, then run around killing named ect, it will be obvious when you done for day. I spend like 20-30min there a day, that's going slow.

1000 anima isn't that bad, it adds up quick. The numbers are stupid, it makes it seem like it far worse of a grind. The pvp quest atm gives you 2-350 as well.

Expansion isn't perfect, but I'm having fun. Except doing torghast on warlock, shit fucking sucks, been eaten by a grue a few too many times. Easy and fun on DH so far though.

Torghast on my lock has pretty much been a breeze besides Maw of the Maw with a bunch of shit anima powers.

Anyone experienced with setting up their own, or editing anothers, weak aura? I've been using some made by Luxthos and I would like the change the position of the main skill icons to match up with my own keybinds. The match up for my keybinds and the WA icon layout (primary ones) look like:
mine - 1 2 3 4 5 6
WA - 2 1 3 5 6 4

So I'd like rearrange the WA icons to match up with my keybinds.

Rearranging WA layouts depends entirely on how they were originally set up. How they are anchored, how they are grouped, etc. It's pretty hard to just tell someone how to rearrange the layout of custom WA packages.

Honestly once your companions are decently leveled, it's probably more efficient to set them up where a healer will heal them during a mission in the back row against a group they won't ever get targeted by, while your troops easy clean up for the win. Usually one of the 4 hour short missions a time or two and you can heal them up much more efficiently than wasting anima on doing so.

I feel like you're playing Night Fae just by the healer remark. My Kyrian Companions/Soul Binds are 27x2, and 23x2. 3 of them are Melee DPS and 1 of them is Ranged Bow DPS. Troops are Melee DPS and Tank. I could complain about the balance between covenants for the table, but granted its just "something to do" and never really gives me anything useful (player power wise) - I just dont care enough to.

The stuff people complain about in this game has gotten to the level of Karen and its just annoying af to read the complaints all the time. "The Sky Box is Blue! Fuck Blizzard!"

I'd just love to shoutout my little bird homie here. Simp'in ain't easy

Yeah I keep getting shit skills. Even damage in general seems screwy for affliction, each floor is just a slog. This isn't even lvl 3, just 2's. For the lvl 3 Fracture I got lucky with a falldown boss at the end. Quite a few abilities that give, but give a negative too.

DH: EYEBEAM GOES BRRRRR. DH gets some really useful and fun abilities. Just last night had 80% chance for eyebeam not to go on CD for example, and a whole slew of other ones by the end. Even with shit luck DH can finish off a run. Haven't felt the need to switch to tank at all, can even handle an elite or 2 if cooldowns avail.

It's just strange to me, because my lock can steadily kill openworld elites, while DH needs CDs, in torghast it's the opposite.

The idiocy / toxicity that Ive encountered so far this expansion is like super in your face. I was trying to figure out the best route to take Atonement, so I went left in the beginning instead of right. You would think this Mage in the group had his mother brutily murdered with how bent out of shape he got because of something so insignificant (two mobs extra if you're counting). Then decided to go ape shit and pull extra shit as we continued through the instance. I ignored him altogether and just kept going on about my business. Meanwhile the group starts talking shit to him and he just ends up leaving the group. Dumbest experience Ive had so far, but there are more.

Who exactly are "the melee" in a group with a hunter, an spriest, and a shaman as DPS? An enhancement shaman?

This is usually the case at the beginning of any expansion. Because there are no difficulties to separate the playerbase you run into a TON of shitheads because you are grouping with anyone and everyone... because everything is base difficulty

Randoms in this game are the scummiest pieces of shit compared to the pleasantness of randoms in FFXIV.

I've yet to do a single dungeon yet because of the average player. It's not thin skin, I just don't have the patience for it anymore, and it always puts me in a bad mood dealing with people that act like unsupervised special ed kids. Fuck that shit on my free time.

0.2 away from 155 now, so maybe I'll start LFG in guild once in awhile now.

I was pretty much the same as you did but to be honest its been fine except for one group I was in, everyone has been cool.

The fuck are you talking about? This is one of the least grindy xpacks since daily quests were introduced to the game. Yeah, some of the WQs take longer than before (40 minutes tho... lol) but you don’t have to do any of them. They aren’t tied to player power outside 1k weekly anima. That is only 10 WQs a week if you just do 100+ anima ones. The maw is not required unless you want sockets, and if it takes you 40 minutes to give up on a WQ, sockets arent saving your dumbass.

I think a lot of people are still stuck in BFA mind set. This expansion so far looks like a LOT more of the stuff you "need to do" is weekly not daily. Doing the weekly dungeon stuff gets you a good ways towards the 1k anima and then just plink around a bit doing stuff and the anima comes in at a decent clip. The maw stuff is like weekly for 80% of the rewards for the week and dailies that take like 30 minutes if you care enough to bother.
