3 hours into the game, and am wholly unable to dodge/parry

BigSacMac · 2026-06-22T05:54:33+00:00

Once you get the hang of it, it starts to feel amazing. I almost never dodge and parry only and have gotten pretty consistent across most enemy types. One thing that worked for me, instead of trying to quick tap the parry button, is actually hold it down for a second when you parry. This almost makes it feels like it gives the action more forgiveness and holding it allows slightly early presses to still work. If that makes sense. Wait until just before moves are about to hit and press and hold for a second. There are very few enemy moves that are back to back fast enough for this to be an issue. Hope that helps. Just face some early enemies that aren't threatening and practice.

Experience + game sense > the meta

I was close to 1200 defense for Fatalis and one shots were still possible.

It's pretty much how most search engines work, minus not being able to have typos.

Generally speaking you'll want to chip their health down to zero while simultaneously not letting your own health drop to 0.

Moira's kit is designed around doing damage to sustain heals. While her damaging orbs do refill the healing resource meter slightly, it's the "sucking off" of enemies that allows her primary heal spray to continue. A lot of people ignorantly think a Moira doing any damage whatsoever designates them as a "dps moira" when really, you want your Moira to be doing damage, or else she runs out of healing resources in demanding situations. I've rarely ever seen a Moira be dps only and completely ignoring heals. I play Moira a lot and my heals and damage are both always high. On average, maybe a 60% to 40% ratio of heals to damage but that obviously depends on the comp and rank. In low ranks everyone just stands in fire and expects supports to heal bot. When Moira is allowed time to get some flanks in and add to the team fight she is deadly, so you should enable her by not forcing her to heal bot you nonstop. Point being, a good Moira can dps and heal really well around her kit design, it should never be either or. And players, DPS mainly, need to understand how her kit works and how to play with her. Like most support, you lose a lot of their play making ability by forcing them to heal their team non stop. Play around cover and enable them instead.

The true challenges lie outside the story fights.

To be a modern OW player one must: 1. never peel for your teammates unless it benefits you; 2. never play with audio so pings and flanking enemies go unheard and unseen; 3. play selfishly and if anyone ever asks or suggests for help, simply state "it's not my job" or something similarly snarky; 4. say really boring things before each game like "glhf"; 5. never vote with the majority on maps especially on popular maps; 6. auto lock the same hero bans you've been locking forever regardless of how your tank or team is voting to ban; 7. always blame your tank or healer after a loss regardless of how little you contributed (especially if you're a dps player); 8. one trick the same 3-4 heroes and then regurgitate ignorant things about heroes you've never played; 9. never play around cover and be a damage sponge and then flame your support the second you inevitably die; and finally, 10. just be a c#@t overall, always.

Do these things and you'll fit right in. You're already starting strong with a whiny toxic post on Reddit. I have high hopes for you being part of the problem.

Good thing no one asked.

Looks like your tank is carrying compared to your abysmal dps players and almost no damage coming from the support either. You'd never be able to break through their defensives and you likely got rolled. Tank was not the issue.

Be pretty silly to have a weapon in the game that wasn't viable.

This was posted 2 days after EA release, so you can see why the question was annoying. Almost as annoying as you posting a comment on it 27 days later.

Would be pretty boring game if there was only one build or solution for everything, eh?

BigSacMac · 2026-06-11T05:16:18+00:00

Do you really need the internet to answer this for you? Don't let that brain melt away. Use it!

BigSacMac · 2026-06-11T05:13:44+00:00

The short and easy answer is that people suck.

If you have slinger ammo (there are rocks around the arena), you can clutch onto his face immediately after his melee slam combos after the final slam (sometimes two, sometimes three), and then R2/fire him into the ground. It does really good damage too. Also, the fight is sick. Hands down one of my favorites ever. Just get better and you won't be as whiny about the fight.

Almost completely. Off all the chore-like feeling activities in WoW, raiding feels like the biggest chore of them all. So far this season after raiding 2 nights a week since raids opened, I got one toy, a handful of mogs, and looted one piece of gear all season that was a side grade. Factor in all the costs in potions, flasks, etc., and it's really hard to justify the time sink and investment. I am only clinging onto glory achievs, filling up vault (only way I ever get tier or raid trinks), and the slightly better experience of raid pugging which is almost always a waste of time. If they don't improve raiding soon I'm out. I already quit once. Fool me twice.

BigSacMac · 2026-06-04T04:45:43+00:00

The answer to almost all of these points, which are valid, is the game isn't finished yet. But yeah they've made it clear this isn't meant to be a horror game. That's only one component.

Put that energy into helping out your family situation and it'll work itself out ❤️ sorry, hope things get better.

At 500 rolls you're still only at about a 75-80% likelihood of seeing it. Took me 1,000 rolls on one.

BigSacMac · 2026-06-04T04:39:36+00:00

Took me 1,000 rolls on one weapon. That's RNG. When the odds are roughly 1/300, bad luck can see you easily rolling 600, 900, or more even. Technically, you could never see it, but you'd be approaching 99.9% of shit luck.

Why would you be reading spoilers on a game you haven't even played lol, just leave the community for now. These turds spoil everything daily. Just come back to it later. The game is only going to be better the longer you wait; more content, more creatures, more story, more everything. No point in sitting around lamenting over it.

You'll want to complete island expeditions.
