College educated guy fell into a hot spring and dissolved to death.
Ok, not really, he drowned, but that's just as stupid.
Man Dissolved in Acidic Water After Trying to Soak in Yellowstone Hot Pool
Is it weird that I still read Temple of Veeshan every time people talk about ToV? 
Anyway, where the fuck do I go to get some decent class discussion?
I tried Icy Veins, but it's all but completely deserted. I tried MMO Champ, but it's not much better. I read some people in this thread talk about Discord, but that shit is a far cry from an easy to read forum. Besides, there is almost as much circlejerking going on as here. Is there seriously not just one EJ-like site that has non retarded people talk about how to git gud, instead of B.Net forums-like drivel?

SimC vs AMR was discussed earlier in this thread and I've switched to AMR for a couple of reasons:
The priority lists, at least the ones I've looked at(warrior, druid, ret pally, rogue) are complicated and almost impossible for a human to play. Some are also needlessly complex and redundant. The priority lists are probably still a bit too complicated but they are much less so compared to SimC and their interface is so much easier to use. So, if you don't understand what something is doing on the list, you can probably find out.
Second thing is that we're 3 months into the expansion and whatever idiot is maintaining prot warrior still hasn't figured out how to do Ignore Pain. SimC thinks warriors don't get rage through absorbs(they do) and they are vastly overvaluing the "heal" from IP, making versatility more valuable to AC, which is laughably wrong. AMR has this interaction correct and the resulting stat weights seem much more reasonable.
Last thing is that I like AMR's tanking metric:
NPS - A more robust tanking metric - Mr. Robot's Blog
It's admittedly unintuitive but it basically boils down to:
NPS = mitigated damage + (self-healing + max health increases)/2
From what I can tell, the metric doesn't take into account healing received increases, like druid's mastery.

Well technically the heat probably killed him at or before he actually drown. Those pools are nasty as hell.

Yeah I remember that. Normal is weird in that both Odyn and Guarm are tard mode and then helya is much more difficult. Heroic we only did for about 45 minutes but we weren't getting very far. We're a heroic guild though so technically it should be tuned to us. I
Still think the jump in difficulty in heroic is a bit high.
7/7 Mythic EN guilds where having trouble in Heroic TOV so I think it's just overtuned.
The problem is the loot needs to be brought inline with it.

Well. The entire expansion is one big loot problem. I'd say normal helya felt like a heroic boss and heroic Odyn felt as if it was bordering mythic level.

Odyn looks like an Everquest model from POP era. Once you see it, can't unsee. That awful pixel cycling beard like something from VGA era.
That p2 slog is ridiculous on healers.
Guarm should get a shield when he runs around in circles so everyone can feel equally useless.

That is the first thing I said when I saw him, The whole Halls of Valor instance reminds me of something i'd see in POP it's basically Halls of Honor.
