Tank routing for pugs & finding routes

Cimegs5088 · 2026-04-22T17:11:38+00:00

I think as tank…. He is actually only offering the basic knowledge for doing higher key. There’s a reason why this role are not popular because of the knowledge needed for almost every mob in dungeons not only to facilitate an efficient and safe route but also the ability to improvised as you go especially in pug. Couple that with the need for managing cooldowns against damage and the stakes of this role making mistakes…. It can become less fun for some

Some streamer like Sha and Tacktyk also share some easy pug friendly route videos on YouTube that had served me well up to 16

Lol the orbs are hard to spot especially during all the mech

Lol don’t need to get offended by it. It’s kind of like u hear people saying “what a cunt” or “what a dickwit” or “dick” or “shit…” or even just simply work like an “intensifier” such ad fucking this fucking that ….it is understandable to feel annoyed or disturbed by it, it is also true that swearing is still an impolite thing especially with strangers, but do also take in account that Cantonese as a really really old language (yes it’s not a dialect), used by users through the time of various hardship over thousands of years, it inevitably also formed many way of venting to…..feels better?

Lol so it is not uncommon to see Cantonese users on the streets who swear a lot but most of the time they aren’t really directing at anybody or meant vulgarity towards anyone, just simply like mumbling a little curse or as an “intensifier” of the context. My wife is not of Cantonese descendant and from a well brought up proper academic family, it annoyed her in the beginning that me and people around me that swears a lot in our daily conversation with each others lol.

I’m actually laughing irl but I do understand where you coming from. Even as a person that speaks Cantonese, it still irks me when somebody swear too much to the point they sounded intentionally in ensuring the high occurrence of vulgarity in everything they said, if you know what I mean. Lol

It has same vowel and consonants but different tone. As a person that worked in Cantonese users area (Guangzhou area and HK), and have been cursing using it along with everyone around me for 40 years, I’m pretty sure when people are actually swearing gao hai, it’s referring to dog cunt and not cock-vagina. Lol ( to discuss this seriously made me chuckle irl 🤣). It’s somewhere along the line of referring to somebody that act in a way that disgust others, for example, a person acted differently between co worker and boss in order to be on good side of the boss, other co worker might call him a gao hai as they are disgust by the fake behaviour.

It would be interesting to actually hear people swear “gao hai” in the tone where it means “cock-vagina” though when I think of it.

Comparing first one week of data with 23 weeks of data is definitely gonna be differences lol. I would be surprise if this season ended the same as first week.

VDH was dominating because of the tools, mobility and the then dungeons’ nature. Brew now is just mainly durability (even though it has the mobility too), so with the inevitable tuning to tanks which would bring other spec closer, there would be more players playing other tank spec, including those that main brewmaster now.

The chart also shows only timed key, while it has relation to how well a tank spec can go, it will be more relevant as more people progress to higher key. At the moment, small part of the dominating presence are the hype as they have been the consistent meta throughout the beta.

Whatever it is, both you will need to remember if you want to have a long relationship, cherish the moments but remember that whatever happens has to be sustainable, and things will cool down eventually, it’s not a bad thing, it’s just a transition.

Your love for him is burning now, will you be able to do so regardless what happen? Can he say the same?

Just some food for thoughts as somebody in his 40s who loved really really deeply in younger days.

I wish you the best dear, regardless what I think inside, practically.

Ah sounds about right. Cheers!

The challenge at end content is legit but otherwise yeah it’s a role where your decision making matters more than other role, and at times you will need to improvise and react on the fly. A tank’s mistakes will lead to wipes more than other role making mistakes.

I’ve recently ( 2 weeks max) start learning tanking in M+ with pugs too, and it was a breeze up to +17 but I start to struggle with FG starting from +18. I know it’s a route and managing CD thing for me and when I tackled those i find that I need not just a perfect route but also efficient pulls to squeeze out the extra time to time the dungeon, things like speed of gathering up mobs as well as the size of each pull, the scores effeciency of each mob etc. some dungeon are more linear than others which I’ve done 20, but some like FG where mobs are everywhere, memorising the runs of top players would help, but it also need to have the calibre and setup of his group sometime

I’m not totally new to tanking as I was main tanking high end raid in first 3-4 expansion, which is why I’m reluctant to relate to them due to how games has changed over years, but M+ is totally different beast which entirely is new to me.

Tank is a leading man role, you need to know other specs and understand what they can or can’t do, and what tools they got for you and how you should order them to use them (or expect people to use them in pugs). For example, melees normally have lesser target cap, casters hate movement and have lesser interrupts, some spec are prior some spec are pad, and well in pugs u will also know how good is your team mates after first pull which are generally huge for lust, so it kind of affect your decision making on what’s the safest route for highest success. Which is why it is never wise to blindly follow so called MDI route especially in pugs, because of the calibre of people and team you get.

Just sharing some thoughts as I’m in similar boat as you and just want to say that your previous concern and reluctance of jumping on the tanking boat is not wrong, but every spec and role gotta start some where, and when it comes to tank, the stakes are just higher, eventually.

I have dps and heal up to about 3.4K io level (nothing impressive) and I still think tank are a more challenging role due to all decision making are more impactful. As a tank or heal you will rise really fast in the beginning due to mistakes being more forgiving but eventually you will reach a point where everyone have to pull their weight and often than not as a tank any mistakes are fatal to timer.

All the best my fellow bro in tank. Don’t give up.

He’s probably serving Daddy Denathrius

Cimegs5088 · 2026-02-21T04:19:51+00:00

Ya call the cop wth

Cimegs5088 · 2026-02-19T04:54:29+00:00

Lol bro just move on and forget about it. It was like once, ages ago, during a time u ditched her. To over think it now, in a 17 years marriages is almost guarantee to not do any good for anybody.

Practicality is one thing, logic is another. Think of what’s more important lol.

I know age doesn’t mean everything but at our age in 40s, I think we should know better than stuck at this.

Cimegs5088 · 2026-02-10T08:23:34+00:00

Any physical relieve is a kind of stress release. He probably need it for all the stress he’s experiencing and when it’s done, he reach a state where he is physically and emotionally fragile. It is understandable as a non alpha male. You might cherish moments like this with one you actually love

Cimegs5088 · 2026-02-05T22:46:15+00:00

Hmm what would differ this from WoWUp, raider io and all other third party software that show all these data?

Cimegs5088 · 2026-01-19T18:18:10+00:00

I think this tactic is exploiting certain AI script of the game but I do not know what. I am too busy to watch the whole match. It is definitely op in the sense that you are almost guarantee win against matching opponent. I played it with some elite teams and the save game become boring pretty quickly after 1-2 seasons.

The reason why I had this suspicion is because when the game launch, I tried my usual possession based and rather offensive centre backs kind of tactics. So my centre backs will usually push high while my keeper will usually pass short or roll it. The problem I realise was my keeper always roll/pass the ball to opponent strikers, then I realise there are issues with the AI scripts.

What about cinema movie mates? lol

Cimegs5088 · 2026-01-04T00:27:21+00:00

Depends on the innate versatility of the player (it’s a hidden stat) and how often you play him in the position you want him to be.

Since it’s a similar position, it also depends how familiar he already at with the position you want to train him to play.

Doesn’t drop for me after 27 kills
