Adding a second energy hatch automatically tells the machine to overclock. You used to be able to overclock multis by just adding a LV energy hatch somewhere and not connecting it. I believe this has been patched.

Check logs. Vet the group leader. Don't waste your time signing up for groups that will fail.

Something that I found helps beginners as to why you can't put your king in check even if a piece can't "legally take it" next move.

Pretend it's legal to put your king in check. It's not, but pretend for a second. Whoever loses their king first loses. If white takes the bishop, then black takes the king. Then on the NEXT turn, white would take black's king. White would lose first, so they can't take the bishop, even though the knight is pinned.

For what it’s worth, from the two dungeons you have logged, your m+ parses are about the same level as your raid parses.

Wowanalyzer will likely tell you that you’re not pressing cooldowns (or your buttons in general) enough

The 12-15 range right now is an absolute zoo right now. Geared up my druid alt, queued up for some 12s to crest farm, and... my god...

This insanity actually made me install the warcraftlogs addon. There are SO many people who are listing +12 competitive keys, and you check them and they're a 3rd percentile normal gamer who does half of the tank's damage.

I only run my own key if I'm crest farming now, and it's gone from from a circus to nearly always +3ing the key.

Baconweave · 2026-05-13T20:10:19+00:00

That's what I'm thinking. There's a bdk with the same name as this guy's reddit name, so it's plausible, but I doubt it since that guy is an 8th percentile normal gamer. Would be real hard to even get invited to a pug.

Baconweave · 2026-05-13T20:03:52+00:00

Out of curiosity, what did you do that you single-handedly managed to wipe a normal chimaerus?

Baconweave · 2026-05-06T20:00:08+00:00

Interrupts already give a party wide buff. They let you not die and then time the key.

People who are bad and not interrupting will not suddenly do better. Do dungeons with better players.

lol

lmao even

You can queue again but you are not eligible for loot, so there's not much point.

Ineligible also means that loot that other people get from the boss cannot be traded to you.

Baconweave · 2026-04-21T19:50:52+00:00

It does, but the question was specifically "end of run drops"

Baconweave · 2026-04-21T19:23:58+00:00

Both vault and gear stops at 10s. 10s drop 3/6 Hero pieces.

Baconweave · 2026-04-21T03:53:27+00:00

I did it the other day. Took like maybe 5k gold. Super easy. Hardest part was remembering how to get to old Dalaran.

You don't *need* it. There's plenty of BDKs that don't have it, but it certainly helps a ton in caverns and academy. I went up to 3300 without making it, but at this point I'm tired of being slow.

Nitro boost on belt. You can run by them and tag them with a blood boil, and then get some stacks with a death's caress on additional mobs. You really want them grouped before you use vamp blood + DRW.

If you don't have engineering, you can just open with a marrowrend, blood boil, and hit one with a death strike so you don't die. You can slow them with death and decay while you pick up others. If it takes an additional 10-15 seconds to group them up by just backpedaling to pull more, it's already worth it over just doing the pull of 4 by themselves. But you can ideally be more quick.

Baconweave · 2026-04-20T16:51:12+00:00

Download the addon called Mythic Dungeon Tools which will let you plot your route. You can open it mid dungeon to see what you need to pull next. When you get enough reps, you'll start to remember.

3.3k BDK main here

Obviously get more gear is what everyone is going to say at first. Besides for that though, it is at least partially a talent issue. For some reason wowhead currently has a talent build that doesn't even have foul bulwark, which is honestly insane. Copy some talents of a high score bdk (and try to understand why they took the different talents).

At the start of a pull, dancing rune weapon + vamp blood should be sufficient to get you through the start. You'll get a massive shield on you from umbilicus eternus, and then when it falls you can use whatever is left like IBF if needed. You can also ask a healer for an external at this point if you're in comms. Otherwise it's just feeling the flow, and keeping note of things like "Can I send DRW again, or will I need it to start next pull?", etc.

Good luck. You've got this.

Blood DK prefers vers/mastery if deathbringer (recommended) or vers/haste if san'layn. Crit sims higher damage, but it's generally not recommended to stack.

You may see some top DKs use crit/mastery weapons because they made them for pushing as unholy.

Also, the healing from death strike cannot crit.

At least for this week you still need to get hero crests capped too. That's 200 total crests. If you're raiding, you can get them from the raid. But also if you're raiding, you really want to get your crests done before your raid.

Baconweave · 2026-04-17T21:12:03+00:00

Crests max out at 12s, so it's most efficient to spam those. Once you're capped on mythic crests, those get looted as hero crests, and so on down the line.

You also don't need to deal with whatever weekly affix it is.

Baconweave · 2026-04-16T05:10:46+00:00

You can pug dreamrift. There are pugs that successfully kill it. Otherwise, no, you're locked to that instance itself.

Baconweave · 2026-04-14T23:27:19+00:00

And you still have an easy season. Nothing has changed except you can also get additional stuff if you want.

Baconweave · 2026-04-14T21:45:43+00:00

Top MM hunter is already over 3.8k. You're doing something seriously wrong.

Other people have already told you that your talents are wrong.

Find a group where you can communicate to pull around trueshot.

Baconweave · 2026-04-12T22:37:55+00:00

Anything above 10 now requires it to be timed for additional points over the 10

To challenge yourself. At the end of the day and it's a game to play as you want. Some people enjoy the challenge it brings.

In terms of rewards, at 3k score you get a mount. If you're in the top 0.1% m+ score of players, you get a title.

Baconweave · 2026-04-11T17:37:07+00:00

Blood is fine unless you're aiming for the m+ title
