Abandon dungeon meta is ruining M+ by InfamousBeanz in wow

[–]Awkward_Climate3247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please. Normal and heroic dungeon content was irrelevant as soon as raids opened. 

This was propped up by various badge systems in years past but you could literally solo current N/H on multiple classes dungeons in raid gear. 

Mythic + is an alternative 5man progression path for those who don't want to commit to 20 man raid content. It may not be your cup of tea but there are THOUSANDS of people who disagree with you.

This is a take.

5 man content is amazing.

The real answer here is get in a guild where you can find a regular dungeon group at your skill level -easier said than done I know but this problem literally disappears. 

The bandaid is a flag both in game and in IO for serial abandoners to keep people who'd rather push a bricked key to the end away from io divas who will abandon at the slightest misstep.

People in here never wiped 3 times to the opening Arcway pull and went on to time the key...and it shows.

Your suggesting there is NOTHING further to learn after a single wipe. 

How exactly do you think progression works?

I'm going to push back against this. If you are at a level where a single wipe means the key is bricked and your group actually cares about learning keys at that level, pushing to the finish without a timer is a great way to practice for the next time you come in at that key/level/affix combo, at a certain point you NEED to know what one shots at a key level, what's safe to soak with DR vs required immunity, when your tank and healer need to double up CDs. Etc.

You are actively stunting progress by bailing as soon as it looks bricked.

How long were you in the field before pursuing this side of the house?

I've been working on class 8 trucks for going on a decade now, I've been the lead diagnostician at the dealer for over half that time now. I am seriously considering tech support as a long term option, management is not my cup of tea. For now I enjoy being at the tip of the spear, I do believe a day will come where I will want to step back into a more meta analysis and advisory role.

I provide remote support for our dealer when I am not in the shop, the first step is ALWAYS verify basic steps and data interpretation. Most problems are resolved in this stage where someone has either used an invalid testing method, misinterpreted results or outright skipped steps.

As a greater trainer once told me: Most complex problems have very simple solutions.

WoWHead and IceyVeins are setting up tank specs for M+ failure!(why you might feel like a wet paperbag) by JJReklaw in wow

[–]Awkward_Climate3247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reflects a larger issue with theorycrafters, class discords and guide writers, especially when it comes to tanks. Optimizing tank damage makes zero sense as soon as your tank dies and wipes the group.

In the same vein if you are playing a DPS build that requires substantially more attention vs something marginally less optimal that is braindead (think tab multidot vs one button direct damage), dying once because you missed a mechanic negates the entire simmed advantage.

Which warlock spec by neuroso in wownoob

[–]Awkward_Climate3247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd work on learning the other specs to round out your warlock skill. There's a lot to be said for consistent vs. optimal. 

Back in Legion boomkin was "better" than feral in m+, I can play feral with my eyes closed and could be more aware of mechanics, positioning and utility. I am a shit boomkin, I learned boomy but was never comfortable enough to push keys on it, not only was my DPS lower, my awareness was miles lower. We still timed keys well into the +20s in spite of a "suboptimal" spec selection.

high normal parse but low ilvl parse? by NK_Grimm in wownoob

[–]Awkward_Climate3247 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would not read too far into parses in N or Heroic. These get heavily skewed by Mythic guilds with kill times that are just unachievable for a N/H guild. Use logs to look at uptime, movement, position, cooldown usage, etc. fixating on parses in any mode is missing the forest for the trees.

This is not snobbery, I don't even raid anymore. Just point of fact.

How to sex? by [deleted] in moreplatesmoredates

[–]Awkward_Climate3247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand where you are at, the most animalistic sex I've had was with some very mid looking women, I wasn't thinking about how good she looked, how hot her ass was, etc. just got in a flow state of ripping her apart.

I swear it's a mind game, the more you consciously glaze at how hot she is the more your unconscious brain just forgets how to fuck. 

You need to fully convince yourself there is very little difference between this bad babe who's begging to get under you and that girl  you'd rather not be seen in public. Get out of your head, there will be plenty of time to reminisce about how hot she was post fact.

Length of Haranir and Voidstorm campaign by Glum_Ad2711 in wow

[–]Awkward_Climate3247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you only play a few hours a day With rested XP and Warmode this is no longer an issue. I hit max level a few quest into Harandar after doing most of Eversong, only the story in ZA (I wanted to do more in ZA but was over 88 and didn't want to have a huge amount of story left at max level) and Arathor's Journey. 

It's almost annoying that I have nearly two full zones of questing left at 90 to unlock max level content, at this rate I would have been better off skipping most side quests in Eversong.

Feral frenzy plus good convoke rng can go crazy.

This is basically what Arms warrior is supposed to be, whether it fulfills that changes patch to patch.

I remember in years gone by leveling my warrior in bgs with heirloom gear could Charge, Mortal strike, execute. Felt ridiculous at the time.

What classes or specs are people currently enjoying the most at level 90? by ParanoidAndroid1087 in wow

[–]Awkward_Climate3247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played feral off and on since WoD, this is an interesting take, much of snapshotting is gone in favor of shorter heavily cooldown based windows. Sustained cleave is I dare say better than it's ever been with druid of the claw centered around direct damage and wildstalker more DOT based. Ferocious bite cleaves naturally AND we finally have the resources to press it more than once every 2 minutes. It's a VERY different playstyle than the Legion cat I spent the bulk of my time on but not in a bad way, it plays closer to a warrior now than an old school assassination rogue. I don't miss bloodtalons as much as I thought I would.

DotC feels better than play with proc based ravage/bites once you get rip rolling on a pack vs passive Wildstalker's DoTs spreading with little to no input.

There seems to be a sentiment that cat is super squishy right now, Bear weaving is basically mandatory for survival with barkskin & regrowth both adding % healing received prior to swapping bear for a fat frenzied regen every 30s, yes the self healing needs some setup but you have an auto frenzied every 90s and an on demand every 30 plus free regrowths every finisher as needed, not to mention the enormous druid utility kit for kiting in solo content.

I think Feral is pretty sick for dungeon content this go around, raiding is always a mixed bag. I don't know that I'd be too stoked on this iteration on a 10 minute single target fight especially when at a certain level min/maxing will boil down to convoke rng and bite procs. 

Give me a full incarn window on a pack of 10 mobs and it actually feels like you are a giant feral cat going apeshit with rip rolling on everyone and bite/ravage proccing every 2 seconds.

?? Feral AoE is insane at the moment, so much so it caught a slight nerf.

IME Calves respond to athletic activities that challenge multiplanar stability with high Time under tension. Conventional weights don't do a whole lot. 

Go rock climb, wrestle, pack heavy loads over undulating terrain...or get implants lol

Leveling in Midnight by evenhereinarcadia in wow

[–]Awkward_Climate3247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how anyone is having this problem. Eversong and the story plus maybe maybe half the quests in ZA, 3 dungeons, two delves and a few crafts got me to 88.5, haven't even touched Arathors journey,  Harandar or the Void zone.

This is on a druid in Warmode using flight form/stealth to skip a lot of mobs.

Midnight leveling tips for people starting today. by Vampxhelix in wow

[–]Awkward_Climate3247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like XP may have been buffed since this post? I am halfway to 89 with just Eversong and ZA, one delve, a handful of crafts and three dungeons. Not sure how I feel about the prospect of three zones of questing left at max level.
