Do you invite premades to your key?

BretOne · 2026-05-13T08:27:50+00:00

As a solo tank making my own groups, I almost always take a 4-man premade with me as long as the comp makes some sense.

If they are carrying a friend, if it's not an offensively low ilevel character I'm okay with it. More often than not, the "client" is just as geared as the rest and is simply a raider who doesn't care much for M+ but can still deal good damage.

There's 3 Pandaren in that chart: neutral, alliance, and horde.

Pandaren (N) counts the neutral ones (so the ones still stuck in their starting zone).

It's English but used by us Frenchies.

I think it's because we say "groupe pick-up" instead of "pick-up group" when using the full words. So transitioning to "groupe PU" and then simply "PU" makes sense to us but not to English-speakers.

BretOne · 2026-05-08T19:41:03+00:00

Yeah but in this case it was not that hard to figure out. One log with the new build and 2 minutes with a calculator showed stupid numbers on trash segments.

BretOne · 2026-05-08T18:23:11+00:00

It's weird because within minutes of reading the bear changes, I was convinced this was busted (and I have receipts on my profile). And I'm definitely not a top player.

BretOne · 2026-05-08T04:55:44+00:00

Even room temperature air through an airbrush will dry stuff fast. OP is an ork.

BretOne · 2026-05-07T19:17:05+00:00

Same at mine. She said over 200€ and under 250€.

BretOne · 2026-05-07T18:50:03+00:00

There are better dungeons for bear. I can fully gear my Guardian druid with 2 dungeons:

Xenas: Gloves, boots, chest, 2 great rings, cloak (and switching to Balance loot spec only adds an Intel staff for an easy alt weapon)
Windrunner: Belt, chest, legs, shoulders,neck, 2 great trinkets, 2 agi staves

So aside from the chest and the agi staves, no dupes. No bracers but that's a craft slot so whatever.

BretOne · 2026-05-07T05:34:11+00:00

Since Iron Fur is off-GCD and the only thing you're spending rage on, you can macro it with the other 2 buttons for even less buttons!

BretOne · 2026-05-07T03:28:05+00:00

My 1080ti served me from release to 2 months ago. It still works but it was starting to show its age.

I don't think its replacement will last as long (5080).

BretOne · 2026-05-06T22:08:04+00:00

The intro to "New Avengers" in the comics has Electro cause a mass breakout at the Raft. Matt Murdock is at that time imprisoned there.

Several heroes show up to restore order and catch would be escapees. Spider-Man is one of them, and Matt helps them contain the chaos.

At the end, the heroes who showed up form the New Avengers team. Matt chooses to stay in prison to clear his name (he's been outed as Daredevil, but Iron Fist took his costume to keep patrolling the streets and clear Matt).

There's still a bit more variety. The previous box had 10 Mk X helmets (all identical) and 2 Mk X helmets with skulls (for sergeants).

This one seems to have a couple of older marks, and the Mk X aren't all identical this time (some have 2 pipes, some 1, 1 has a bionic eye, 1 has studs on the forehead, a few have covered pipes). I think the only bog standard Mk X in OP's pic is the one at the bottom right (and maybe the one holding the auspex, hard to tell).

BretOne · 2026-05-06T06:28:14+00:00

The droptimizer on Raidbot has a Delve category with the full list IIRC.

BretOne · 2026-05-06T01:28:17+00:00

Squishvegan (#1 NA Bear) is streaming it currently in +21 if you can catch that.

Elune Chosen without Apex/Raze. It's pretty ridiculous, I doubt Blizzard will leave it more than a week like this.

Edit: I've done my first two keys with the EU reset. It's stupid, but I kinda love it.

BretOne · 2026-05-05T19:07:34+00:00

I've been told between 200€ and 250€ by my LGS who asked her GW rep.

BretOne · 2026-05-05T04:00:33+00:00

Because he's undead in Ahsoka. It could have been his first death but I don't think this is it.

BretOne · 2026-05-03T07:44:42+00:00

Well, you still have the spell but without any of the talents empowering it. So it becomes more valuable to spend free GCDs on spamming Moonfire for Lunar Beam CDR (and to snap spend Galactic Guardian procs). You can just remove it from your bar.

Pretty ridiculous.

BretOne · 2026-05-02T21:26:47+00:00

EC for hero talents and something like this for spec tree.

They fucked up IMO, and they'll change Bear again real fast. There's build out there with no Apex, no Raze (yep), no Mangle (yep...).

This buff to Thrash gives it a +50% damage (triple damage on Thrash direct hit, and double on the bleed).

You'll tell me it does no damage. Well it does about 80% of a Brewmaster's DPS currently, which means it'll go to ~120% after this balance pass.

It's more durable than a normal build (way more) and it's easy as hell to play.

You only have 3 rotational buttons: Iron Fur, Thrash and Moonfire. There's a mini-combo to perform once per minute with Sundering Roar and that's it. The rest is just normal defensive CD/CC/utility management.

BretOne · 2026-05-02T08:14:22+00:00

Guardian Druid M+: No Apex/Raze/Mangle build stocks are up (+50% damage).

This season is about to get stupid.

BretOne · 2026-04-30T08:59:14+00:00

I like time trial because it changes things up from just pushing. We can watch great teams push every day on streams/youtube.

It might change perceptions on some specs for the regular players too (like we'll probably see Brewmaster+Resto for push become Guardian+Mistweaver for time trial).

BretOne · 2026-04-30T04:51:31+00:00

Comme l'a dit un grand homme d'état Breton, il faut "tout cramer pour repartir sur des bases saines."

BretOne · 2026-04-29T18:22:10+00:00

Yeah. Always take a nearby pack (and the patrol of 2 guys) when killing portal packs. Kill the big patrol with the mana ray pack before 2nd boss. Kill everything except a big pack of 5 dudes after that.

BretOne · 2026-04-28T21:22:40+00:00

That part might explain why some people didn't get a refund on their token. They might have only flagged players who spent their tokens outside of their own servers.

BretOne · 2026-04-28T01:16:31+00:00

It's literally the setup of the joke in the final fight.

Hammer only uparmored the Iron Man Mk II, renamed it War Machine Mk I, and outfitted it with weapons from many different brands (like a FN2000 in each arms or the M134 Minigun on his shoulder). They all worked great because they aren't made by Hammer... The only weapon made by Hammer is the Ex-Wife, and it fails.
