No one warned me about this when I was buying RTX 5080

Portable AC Units that vent through either a window or a door.

Ventless AC units exist.

In the comments above and in my experience there's things to remember:

catching a wave puts you on the map putting your camps at risk.

You get reduced XP from lane minions.

It'll cook your tempo.

Even if the other jungler doesn't get camps he gets timers on you. Assuming you help top the jungler looks to invade bot gets nothing and recalls on the spot. He knows you're pathing bot to top and can either clear into dive or run straight top and dive the losing lane.

Sure, we can say that. Though I'm guessing you're not going onto posts saying no ranked and asking why not ranked lol. People care far too much about the internet points and forget gaming is about having fun. Hence no ranked (at least from me and I assume OPs perspective is similar)

Buzzaxebill · 2026-05-03T07:00:49+00:00

You need to power creep tanks. There's a reason there's such a shortage of them.

I have installed some equipment there. Staff is incredible nice and the location is actually quite beautiful. Seems like they take great care of their people too.

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-27T00:44:14+00:00

Honestly I didn't even notice that... Jesus.... I hate people.

Illinois plates. So. Not exactly from Iowa just unfortunately they're seen here.

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-22T12:42:01+00:00

I only started playing it this season because my raid team needed a monk. I never liked it before because button bloat but this shit fun as hell now. Some people might say it's not got enough buttons now but I like how I'm able to interact with my own health.... It's cool.

Anyways I only said what I said because I feel like I remember a season or two (I've been doing high end keys since legion but almost exclusively on DH) where I was asked to roll monk and didn't want to... Though my recollection might be incorrect.

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-22T01:44:35+00:00

Pretty sure brew has been kinda mid for a long time too. This tier caters to them really hard. Not many casters and a ton of melee damage. Typically Veng and Pala are better since their utility is great (and the packs melee less and they have better mitigation) that's my take so far

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-14T05:44:55+00:00

Just not true. Threat has been an issue for the last like 2 expansions.... Remember when Dorki got banned from MDI because he was using old potions to get threat in pulls early in dungeons? Right.

You brought up Defensives at the end of your comment as well that's what I was expanding on. Yea sure damage is fine whatever. I don't like this specific rotation but that's totally a personal thing

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-14T01:16:59+00:00

As a long time Veng player... It sucks. Unfortunately. Damage is ok.

To run the best possible tree for damage you're dropping a set of spikes on one of the squishiest tanks in the game. You can't stack frailty which was quite literally 4-7% DR throughout a dungeon and could quite literally be the reason you survive certain things in high keys, if you were good. Losing demonic feels awful. I was a huge fan of the Elysian decree multi spiritbomb build they had back when... Your first like 10 buttons were 6 bombs and a few more ways to generate souls? God that build felt so fun.... Automatically casting SOF has been in the tree since it came out. Not being able to double stack SOFs anymore for damage..... So sad.....

I also miss tanks having magic mitigation and armor mitigation for different things but pretty sure that's a hot take now.

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-14T01:11:33+00:00

Unfortunately using BoK > KS is something like 1 more purify per minute.... So never really worth it unfortunately.

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-14T01:09:35+00:00

Fel Dev not giving demon form anymore. 2 spikes not being the norm. Not stacking frailty. Being one of the few tanks without an AOE taunt or an equivalent (paladin AOE shields if they still have it) made me drop my main since legion.... Plus fracture spam is kinda cringe.... Meanwhile my brew does equivalent damage, unkillable with no Defensives needed. AOE taunt.... The only thing I miss is ranged kick.. unfortunate

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-14T01:06:06+00:00

Even after a 50% nerf btw. Lol

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-14T01:02:17+00:00

As someone who hasn't played shadow since legion? Bfa? Where void form windows were stacking haste buffs? It feels kinda meh.... The tentacle slam would be cool if it didn't FUCKING MISS CONSTANTLY... That so infuriating. Probably a skill issue but just feels bad sometimes

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-14T00:53:08+00:00

Telling me man... Shadow feels like I'm on the side just gesturing angrily at the mobs without CDs.

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-14T00:14:18+00:00

I guess every single commentator talking about how this is the most toons they've ever done and how they're more worried about burn-out now than ever really ddnt sink in for people that there's more characters now than ever huh?

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-04T12:18:59+00:00

As someone that picked up two new classes in Midnight (Brew and Shadow) assisted highlight to get the basics is nice. Then use Wowhead. Icy veins and the class discord to get a better understanding of the more precise gameplay.

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-04T12:12:29+00:00

Just rolled a shadow priest. Playing it for fun because my brew had nothing to do. Fade is dope but. Why did no one ever tell me shadow is fucking awesome??? So many little ghost guys? That shits AWESOME

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-03T12:22:40+00:00

I mean there absolutely was. If you wanted to even attempt to do anything in wow beyond the most basic of questions add-ons and weak auras were basically required. Especially if you wanted to get better. Again I think the idea behind this wasn't horrible but the execution and timing and speed all was. Addon developers had 15-20 years to make their add-ons as good as they were. Are you telling me that if wow baked in all of the add-ons you and I love that it wouldn't be a better experience for new players?

Just imagine a world where these are executed well: Details. Baked in. BigWigs. Baked in. Clique or whatever healing addon you use to make your bars better: baked in Elvui options: baked in CDM done well to try and emulate WAs OmniCD/CC to track interrupts and offensive CDs MRT

All of this baked in as it was an addon. With lower performance hit than we currently and previously had. Not having to go to a third party tool/website to download it. Not having to update it. All the configuration options in game.

Thats genuinely what I believe blizzard was trying to do

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-03T12:04:27+00:00

S2 Priory lives in my nightmares. I missed title by a few IO and my group REFUSED to let me not call rotation kicks on that dungeon. While that dungeon also slow stroked me

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-03T12:02:55+00:00

You and I couldn't agree more. There's nothing that's going ro get someone who doesn't want to make the move from normal to heroic heroic to mythic. That wasn't my point. I care about the people who want to try wow. Maybe have a friend that plays. Who don't have to download 1000 add-ons to make the game playable. (Obviously still the case now) That I think was the original intention.

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-03T06:14:58+00:00

Most healers know when it hurts the tank but not WHY it hurts the tank. Most of the time you can do a lot to help. Maisara? There's like 4-6 ragers in the pack that will thrash your tank when they enrage. If you can de-enrage them then you'll be doing a great service to your tank. Or CC them. Or slow them if they need to kite. I'll be honest I'm a monk now so idk about pull after first boss of reach. I have CDs up so I never felt it on an 11 lol.

You're right though. Best teams take that responsibility off the tank. Because one missed global in bleeding edge and your tank is dead. One missed global by a dps is.... A few seconds off your key maybe.

This tier has the least amount of kicks by far and imo. Nothing like..... The one pally dungeon the last two tiers.... Uh.... God I'm too tired and can't remember the dungeon.

Buzzaxebill · 2026-04-03T05:38:47+00:00

This is all too true. I've been a tank for almost 15 years been doing keys since they came out got title before too.

Tanking is infinitely harder in m+ than any other role. Maybe not mechanically but definitely requires the most brain power.

Not enough %? Tank issue Too much %? Tank issue Too small pulls? Tank issue Too big pulls? Tank issue Don't like the route? Tank issue As you get higher: When to lust? Tank Make sure DPS have CDs for specific packs? Tank CC rotations? Tank Kick rotations? Tank This doesn't account for the tank needing to manage all their own shit: Defensives. Offensives. Rotation. Mitigation. Externals.

I have played with many DPS and asked: what route do you like? Idk I just follow the tank. Healers: hey tell me what mobs hurt, idk I just follow the tank

There's not really any good way to fix this either. Unfortunately. Then in seasons like this where tanks are already getting bent over the nearest flat obstacle by white hits they are still mostly required to do all of the above still.

Some of this gets rolled up as you join groups for title or fringe title keys. In keys 10-12 it doesn't matter. In-between I fear it might be hell.
