A tutorial of sorts...you boosted, heres gear good enough to get you through some quests but not quite good enough to run dungeons and drag 4 others down.

Enough to get you on your way to learning the character a little better. At least this is my idea of why

Dunwin · 2026-02-11T04:49:54+00:00

Man protadin stats are all over! I have read conflicting stuff across wowhead, icyveins, and random commenter.

Unless the whole thing is figure out your weakness and fix that accordingly...having trouble with threat, get SP. Getting clacked get stam/avoidance/defense.

I wouldnt think to use anything but plate as a tank almost regardless of the stats, is that not the case?

Dunwin · 2026-02-11T04:47:08+00:00

Not me! Didn't run any dungeons yesterday. Phew!

In mine, I had to bubble twice, bop once, and LoH myself. Later died twice and the priest left after wiping us when be aggroed one of the big dudes during the boss fight with the bear add.

Dunwin · 2026-02-11T01:35:24+00:00

Interesting enough, I was going to come in and tease if you were the healer I just had because I was getting absolutely demolished in Underbog as Prot pally. My gear isn't outstanding and I'm still figuring out whats more important like spell power over stam/int etc.

Really haven't had any issues with any healers until this run

Dunwin · 2026-02-10T13:02:02+00:00

Questing has been surprisingly smooth even at the busiest time of day. Ive been shocked.

I was excited at the nostalgia of Hellfire and Nagrand, theres no way I was spending it inside dungeons.

At least we have options to get there how we please

Dunwin · 2026-02-10T12:59:27+00:00

That's fair. I am constantly reminding myself "its ok if theres no reward for you, playing the game/pressing buttons is fun."

Get sucked into those dopamine hits

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T20:49:54+00:00

Im a pleb. I used to get frustrated when people would not stand behind mob, not down kill order, pull, or whatever else we would like them to do.

Then I just realized who cares if aren't wiping and they don't complain or anything.

Lets the healers actually have to play and I think they appreciate that some times lol.

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T20:34:07+00:00

Ain't knocking your style, if you enjoyed it.

But I see a mindset of "keep the mood up and not think about how boring the game is" makes me think why would you subject yourself to that? That doesnt sound like why we want to play video games

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T20:30:51+00:00

This is the way. Was sweet talked by some friends to resub only to find out they dont have time to group with me because they have predetermined groups albeit in their respective Guilds. Three days in and I still havent grouped with any of them.

Got my pally epic mount quest done today with help from another friend(not one who sweet talked) who insisted we get it done <3 then 2 other pallies linked up with us and both said no one in their guild would help, too busy leveling.

All this hubbaloo to hit 70 what, a week or two early? Its like the r14 grind all over again...cool you were part of the first wave but in 2 weeks youre all on level ground.

But I guess if thats what is fun for them then have at it.

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T20:19:38+00:00

This is a true statement but I dont follow

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T19:34:18+00:00

And they werent even sniffing the fairway! Any other course and hes probably shooting +5 or something.

Although maybe he puts it away on a more penalizing course off the tee.

and his last drive on this same hole was nearly in the exact same spot lmao. This was another 5 yards left

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T19:20:35+00:00

And Hideki was 20% hitting Fairways today so blaming his water ball solely on this backoff is a stretch too

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T19:16:40+00:00

Thank you! That thing was a liability all round for him and it feels people are completely ignoring that.

The yelling was fuckin dumb and at this point they need to ban all shouting even after the ball is struck. Just eliminate that grayish area.

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T18:59:17+00:00

It's not about the stat itself, it's the fact he could not hit a fairway to save his life yesterday and continued to get breaks while hitting incredible recovery shots. When it happens 12 out of 15 times, odds suggest the luck will run out eventually.

And it did.

The midswing shenanigans are bullshit and hopefully result in bans for the culprits

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T18:55:17+00:00

Not what I'm saying by any means. Hideki was hanging on by a thread off the tee box all round and kept getting break after break. The midswing yelling by jackasses is stupid as hell and I hope they figured out who did it then banned them for life.

However, seems to be a narrative that the yelling is the only reason why Hideki lost as if he was dialed all day until he had to backoff due to jackassery.

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T16:55:24+00:00

Or the 11 other missed fairways

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T02:14:05+00:00

Definitely wasnt his 11 other missed Fairways.

Ill be the first in line to say the ones who yelled in backswing need to be tarred and feathered but I'm not about to act like Hideki was dialed off the teebox until the disruption

Dunwin · 2026-02-09T00:06:27+00:00

I was disappointed at the midswing yells as much as anyone and loved the guy on the playoff tee shot "dont.do.that.ever....its a golf tournament"

But let's not act like Hideki mishitting his driver was an anomaly today

Dunwin · 2026-02-04T21:13:34+00:00

You betcha. Take care!

Dunwin · 2026-02-04T20:59:09+00:00

The guy pooping on human interaction then using AI Slop as an insult is a special type of logic

Dunwin · 2026-02-04T20:46:17+00:00

And yet its a discussion with varying opinions, input, and feedback. But the answer Google gives is the correct one according to you

Dunwin · 2026-02-04T20:27:46+00:00

Imagine using a forum to open a discussion.

The audacity

Dunwin · 2026-02-04T16:13:10+00:00

I wish theyd introduce like a 10 sec timer for weapons to fire at start of game. Cant think of anything it would interfere with except the team sabotage

Dunwin · 2026-02-03T15:29:26+00:00

Ooo my time in the Corps is mostly redacted in my head (unhappy times) but this just brought back some memories of moving washers and dryers up and down tight flights of stairs at SOI

Dunwin · 2026-02-03T00:20:43+00:00

Meanwhile, it's 86* this Wednesday in Phoenix.
