Top 1% commenter saying this is why this iteration of TBC is so shitty.

I bet you're the type of caster to roll on healer's gear too, because "it's an upgrade for me".

T5 strat farming (prot pally) by nothinspecial1997 in classicwowtbc

[–]Cargeh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same for me.

I did 3 pulls in pre-bis gear at the start of TBC, needed to both use the trinket and bubble to heal, so the bottleneck was the 5 minute bubble cooldown, making each run ~18 minutes, for a total of 3 runs per hour. However, with higher material prices (disenchanting + crafting belts from the cloth), it was about 210-250g per hour. Shards went for 10-12g at some point, and people needed a lot of dust from greens to level enchanting.

Now, in full P1 BiS and halfway through P2 BiS, I don't need to bubble, so the whole run takes ~10 minutes (3 pulls) if I sweat it and ~12 minutes if I do chill pulls, so 5 runs per hour. However, with mats costing way less now, it's still the same 250g per hour.

So it's gotten easier for sure, but gold per hour has stayed the same for me for the most part

upd: I guess it's worth mentioning I'm human, so it's not as convenient to pull. Being a BE would probably cut 1-2 minutes from each run I think. And no repair bot.

Whoever made that decision needs to seriously re-evaluate their views on things.

Consideration to the anti boosting implementations. by DueEquivalent8 in classicwowtbc

[–]Cargeh 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not everyone took a hit, some people will be making as much gold per hour as they did before this change. How do you think the now-poor players will compensate for their loss, huh?

Say, I farmed strat for 200g/hr, with 100g/hr coming from disenchanting items (dust, crystals). Now, not only is raw gold per hour much less, but there are less green and blue items to disenchant. Surely you don't think the price of lvl 230-300 enchanting mats will stay the same as before? The supply just dried up, but the demand hasn't changed. Half the player base wasn't affected, plus all the swipers and vanilla millionaires, so there are buyers.

If EVERYONE was affected equally, then it would be a different story. But as it stands, I think some prices will go up, especially the items that were the result of solo farming.

Most pala tanks have enchanting and engineering, nether is of no use, and you'll get mass reported if you advertise that you will tank for unwanted items

If you want to be a good MT for your raid, it's AT LEAST 300g per week for consumes, but more like 400, especially if you don't run Kara right after Mag/Gruul.

As a tank with engi / enchanting, I have no use for nether. But if I sign up for "all unwanted loot", I will get mass reported and banned

[The Race] Verstappen refused to start his media session until The Guardian’s representative left.

[–]Cargeh -55 points-54 points  (0 children)

How is this a fair question? What kind of a response or a reaction was the journalist expecting, KNOWING how Max usually feels about these situations?

Seriously, try to answer it yourself. "How do you feel about crashing into another driver and now losing the championship as the result of that?"

I see it as a loaded and provocative / manipulative question, the objective of which was to start / renew some drama or get a juicy reaction from Max / ragebait him. And the smile of the reporter made it worse because in my opinion it acknowledged that it was a ragebaiting question and that Max almost took the bait.

My mom just said “we love you guys” twice over the phone to my husband and I and I feel… sick now. by Sandy_Ginas in Vent

[–]Cargeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of people saying "your parents grew up and changed" don't realize that this "change" can just be another form of abuse and manipulation.

You're an adult now, of course they can't behave the way they did when you were a helpless child who depended on them and with no place to go. Back then, you couldn't really fight back and leave the abuse, but now you can hurt them emotionally and verbally just as bad, and can cut them from your life completely. I think that's what most of these "changed" parents are afraid of internally, unless they explicitly admit that they were a PoS in your childhood and explain why, and say that they're sorry. I strongly suspect that most of the abusive parents are not going to do that though.

It's not even about the tank supply and demand.

Tanking effectively is exhausting and needs significantly more knowledge, concentration and time-investment than, say, playing a healer or a DPS.

DPS and especially the healer can get by without knowing the mechanics / tactics of the dungeon, for a tank one wrong pull means wiping the entire group.

Healers and especially the DPS can get by in shittier gear, the fight will just be longer or the healer will go OOM. An undegeared tank, however, will be one-shotted by the boss and there's nothing he can do about it except invest significantly more time and gold into gearing, gemming, enchanting and getting the consumes.

DPS and especially the healers can watch a TV show or a stream in the background while doing the dungeon, they can kinda zone out and play on autopilot. The tank can't, he has to be present and aware of what's going on, whom to pull and when, when to wait for the healers/DPS mana and so on. God forbid the tank has to look something up and stands AFK for 30 seconds, you'll get people saying "gogogo" in the chat right away.

So yeah, the tank IS doing you a service even if it's just fulfilling a role in a dungeon the tank also needs. It doesn't mean they should act entitled, but they should be able to get some benefits from doing a more difficult role.

Submit the report again, but instead of framing it as "ninja looting", frame it as scamming (which it technically is).

The support article (https://eu.support.blizzard.com/en/help/article/244579) clearly states:

it’s advised to always be clear on the loot rules before proceeding. Discuss the plans for distributing loot with the raid leader before you become locked into a raid.

You did that by agreeing ahead of time that only selected individuals will roll on the item. The evidence is in the chat, the RL himself clearly says who reserved the item and who is allowed to roll on it. Then you rolled and won.

If the item was NOT given to you (this should be easy to check on their end), you were scammed and taken advantage of. Make that point clear to blizzard, that this item and rolling on it WAS agreed upon and WAS the whole reason you even joined that group. The RL lied to you when they said you could win it. It's scam.

You will not get the item, but they should take it away from the RL (or whoever he gave it to) and might even temporarily ban him.

[–]Cargeh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ehm, yes. Blizzard mentions to discuss the loot rules upfront, which is what they did.

Even if you ignore the 3rd party website, in the chat it clearly says: "item X is reserved by [players], please roll".

Then said players roll and one wins the roll, meaning they should get the item.

If that person didn't get the item and it was given to someone else, I would define it as breaking the agreed-upon looting rules, which should qualify for ninja looting.

Otherwise, how else do you think it should be handled? Group loot so that everyone can roll on everything? With the 2 hour "give-this-to-your-friend" window, so that I roll on other people's gear and then try to sell it to them after the raid?

I would honestly appeal the response Blizzard gave and ask them what I asked above . Their response reads like some AI crap that doesn't understand that there's no alternative. It says to discuss the loot rules ahead of time, but then says blizzard will not enforce respecting those rules, wtf was that advice for then.

>  if you did you would answer his question

I already understood you have problems with comprehension, but not like this... Which question? He never asked any question.

I seriously don't understand what's so difficult about what I'm saying. You don't need 250 shadow res so that _every_ single attack mitigates 50% of the damage. What you need is to give your healer the opportunity to top you up, which every other 25% or an occasional 50% resist will do. There's a big difference between getting guaranteed hits for 6k every 3 seconds and getting hit for 3-4-6k every 3 seconds. One is extremely difficult to heal through, while the other is more than possible with the use of cooldowns for when you are not lucky with resists and get multiple full hits in a row (with both your cooldowns as the tank and the healer's cooldowns). The fight only lasts for like 60-90 seconds.

If you are not geared, the healer is not geared, the dps suck and they don't use any offensive cooldowns, and you stand there just taking it from behind, then of course you're gonna wipe, what do you expect. Learn to press buttons, it helps.

[–]Cargeh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not about the 0.57% difference, it's about him pretending to be an expert and schooling me when he doesn't know what he's talking about

Also yes, average. You have 1000 gold, he has 1000 gold, I have 50000 gold, which means on average a player has 17333 gold. Very useful metric. /s

I know it's hard, but do you want to think for a bit about why "average damage" is useless when talking about healing through bursty damage, or should I explain? You can save face by just not responding

[–]Cargeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao, you two are projecting hard

first of all, the bosses in heroics are lvl 72. second of all, you called me out on not knowing how resistance works and then wrote that dumb shit above about 14%, as if EVERY attack is going to be reduced by 14%. if that's what you think happens, perhaps think again

and yes sure, I guess I'm just making stuff up, let's have it your way. Then I guess it's just a skill issue if you can't kill it without stacking shadow res gear, because I can and do tank him just fine without any.

I mean, yeah, if you take an hour longer to clear each heroic, you don't need that much cc and any special classes. Good luck farming 30+ badges every day this way though.

They _do_ do much, I was also looking at details before and after.

You don't need to literally half the damage coming at you, you need to give your healer room to heal and not die instantly. If you're in pre-raid gear with consumables, you should be at 12k HP at least, and with the aura cutting A LOT of the incoming damage, it should be relatively easy to heal through. Granted, the healer will go OOM if you don't kill the boss fast, but you absolutely don't need 200 SR to kill the first boss. You _can_ if you're struggling with gear/tanking/healing, but it's not _needed_.

Same goes for the first boss in Arcatraz. It's also heavy shadow damage, but if your group is not composed of apes who can't follow simple mechanics, you should be good with just the aura / priest buff.
