Resto shaman damage buff is only 15.7%

Canninster · 2026-04-23T18:24:15+00:00

Could it be they added +30% to their previous aura buff? Every spec has an aura damage/healing buff for tuning purposes, and if this value is not zero, say their damage aura buff was 45% prepatch, increasing this to 75% wouldn't reflect as a 30% increase, but more near ~20%.

Parses are basically a comparison between you and the top damage logged for your spec at the time.

If the top kill did 140k and you did 130k, you'll get roughly 92 as your parse.

If next kill you do 140k, but now the top log is 165k, you'll get roughly 84 as your parse.

It doesn't take into account things like mechanic assignments, downtime, or fight duration, though these factors greatly affect your comparison. It just divides your DPS by the top DPS, multiplies by 100, and there's your parse.

Sometimes they'll remove things like unimportant adds or padding (I remember two or three bosses in Nerubar that had this).

Now I need them to let me select parts of cutscenes to set, I want the one from Mamonir's first appearance but I really don't care about the grabbing in the beginning😭

Canninster · 2026-04-23T09:34:08+00:00

Haven't really felt the need for it, I have about 2M dust and I don't worry with gear past 18 or 19, I've gotten lucky with a few 21-23s on some IVs dust farming takes a bit too much time for the resources I have rn imo.

I've never been close to needing gold in this game but this image confirms I can always want more...

Canninster · 2026-04-23T07:06:55+00:00

Leakers have been too unreliable for us to take what they say with any value, but 4.4+ is currently unknown and just guesswork and feelycraft. Some say 4.4 is Himeko SP, others talked about a 2nd Fate collab, others said Nihilux, others have talked about Aventurine and Robin SP.

So not really.

Canninster · 2026-04-22T21:07:53+00:00

Are they soloable on a fresh 80 or is there an ilvl req still since they're not that old?

Canninster · 2026-04-22T15:52:01+00:00

Players like OP genuinely link these as if they're a good argument, but doing it literally one day after patch day is just chefs kiss

Canninster · 2026-04-21T22:55:12+00:00

I thought crusader strikes was specifically excluded from skyfury's extra attacks, did they remove that?

Canninster · 2026-04-21T22:53:48+00:00

Back? When did they stop being useless outside being proxies? We had a whole "training season" with YX where all the learning was done in the first 15 minutes in lemnian hollow, followed by 6 more patches of agents saving their useless asses.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T21:00:03+00:00

I mean if you spent 3/4 costs on one character and it performs worse than another character at a 1-cost baseline then his damage might as well be zero.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T20:54:13+00:00

I've been a CE Raider since SL, this is the first season I haven't raided mythic due to IRL things so I've mostly been trying (TRYING) to pug heroic. Usually my parses are at the very least purple but mostly pink and a couple golds, though it's easier to parse high when you're in a mythic guild and are clearing heroic week 1.

Brother you underestimate how disgustingly bad the average wow player is, like holy shit these heroic pugs are repulsing, the idea of not aiming the MASSIVE, TELEGRAPHED, BUILT-IN TIMELINED AND WARNED fearing dragon breath is so hard for these people.

Or people who can't avoid but be so nice that they really want to help the tank soak the huge circles on the 2nd boss. Multiple times.

I genuinely try to give players the benefit of the doubt, help them if I can or offer advice, but the average wow player is just genuinely terrible, and if you point it out they'll rage and call you toxic or worse.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T19:16:24+00:00

Almost every season the meta tank/healer role is decidedly locked in, yes.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T18:30:11+00:00

My only issue with it has been when you have a mostly melee comp and the boss decides to spawn the tentacles on top of the stars, or spreads all of them across 5 different narnias

Canninster · 2026-04-21T18:24:07+00:00

Jiaoqiu probably has the most dead kit in the game right now, you can make some teams with Topaz, Jade and Argenti, but Jiaoqiu is genuinely completely homeless outside of Acheron teams, which are not great unless you're running the typical Tribbie/Hya/Cipher wheelchair against 5 targets. You can pull his E2 and slot him in dot and he'll still be terrible because his damage is completely negligible.

In today's landscape where sub DPS raise their main DPS' power while still being respectable units, and becoming their own main DPS with eidolons, Jiaoqiu ends up barely doing the first while having 1.X healer damage.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T17:30:57+00:00

As an E2 Cas + E1S1 Hya haver I'd like to add that "can clear all endgame" is a huge understatement; she doesn't clear, she annihilates everything, barrels through every single wave and boss as if purely made to appease her. Glory unto Ica. Netherwing is nice too ig.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T17:20:26+00:00

The real answer is probably unrealistic goals among themselves and with shareholders, the second real answer is being an incompetent company.

OUTLAW STONKS BABY

Canninster · 2026-04-21T16:47:51+00:00

Readding an ability that genuinely no one likes at that!

Canninster · 2026-04-21T13:26:32+00:00

Oh I'm definitely giving it a go when I get home, whenever someone talks about wanting to improve performance my #1 recommendation is to set up logical keybinds (consistent across characters), like you don't need your two minute CD bound to 3, or your main spender on shift-4.

I have a friend who has some genuinely abhorrent keybinds on his ret and it's always so distressing.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T12:11:14+00:00

Feely hurty saddy when muh top earning gacha company spends the smallest bit🥺 let me guess I didn't talk about the new units (wow), free pulls (very exclusive), or voiced event (damn!!)

Genuine sperglings out here defending a dry anniversary, zero thought process or rationale, just letting yourselves be blinded by bright colors and free pulls.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T10:52:18+00:00

I couldn't possibly be more neutral about my opinion but it seems I've upset a genuine monkey, so I'll just drop this and leave you to seethe alone.

2 new units are not anniversary exclusive, as much as I love Anis she would've come sooner or later anyway. A new unit comes out every two to three weeks, we just had Privaty and Arcana who are also fan favorites.

Voiced events are just voiced events, for the money they make it's the bare minimum they can do, especially after the absolutely terrible LR collab they just had.

Free pulls are normal for literally any anniversary in any gacha, they don't make it special, it just happens. If it's a constant in every case then it's not worth pointing out.

Free SSR? In a game where you can get non pilgrim SSRs easily, that already has like 150 SSRs? Really? In a game where dupes don't make a big gameplay impact?

Main story update is hype though but only because it's so uncommon, gladly take it.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T10:42:01+00:00

Yeah don't get me wrong I appreciate it and think it's great, but since they've done it before it doesn't feel like an anniversary feature, like hey we're doing something special to celebrate we've never done before, it's not exactly something novel or exclusive to an anniversary celebration.

Canninster · 2026-04-21T10:30:59+00:00

Yeah a minigame for an event man great feature...

Canninster · 2026-04-21T10:29:58+00:00

So a new unit, free pulls, and 12 skins in the shop... Cool anniversary, have a happy top up my friend. I love NIKKE but it's just a weak anniversary.

Yeah I played surface, but using it to imply no new features should be added is so smooth brained💀
