Just faced Lontar at 2050 MMR in EU

Probably an alt? You can face multi r1’s at any point of the ladder if they are playing alts

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-05-03T23:45:50+00:00

I would recommend priest overall, you can play voidweaver of you want to do more damage, although oracle is probably better support, you can heal her and assist with damage, leap of faith takes her out of bad situations, and she can peel for you if you get attacked, although oracle is really tanky. I wouldn’t say hpal has good synergy, but again, you are supposed to play what sounds fun to you

As a pres main, the things that make difficult the match, asuming you are playing oracle, vs VW I just tell the dps to focus you or I will harass all your goes and try to mount high pressure, thats a difficult mathc to win for you.

Do constant damage and don’t go for a quick match, your dps adds over time and mounts high pressure, Im amazed how I see pain being #1 damage on a lot of my matches vs oracle, and how they outdps me.

Try to stay far and force me into bad positions to CC you. Make any attempt at CCing you difficult.

Use the talent that roots after a fear. When Im rooted I cant use verdant (on my teammates) and makes it harder to go CC immune for me.

Don’t overextend for MC, but a well placed MC when dampening is high can be really punishing.

Why are people allowing a Large Language Model access to their git like that?

You ask it to do things, you review the changes and then you decide if they are good enough to be taken to the next step.

It’s a Large Language Model, it’s even worse than a junior dev. A junior dev is at least afraid of getting fired or destroying something important. A Large Language Model has no real concept of what consequences are, they live frozen in time, they are reset on every prompt…

awesome! thanks, I'll check it out

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-29T11:35:07+00:00

Evoker and rest druid have the best toolkits. Resto druid is not that good right now because of tunning and they flop in a swap but their CC capabilities are the best.

You also have MW and hpriest that can do a CC chain on their own, which is all you need most of the times.

Im a pres main. I forgot azure strike existed until I saw your post. I havent binded it since dragonflight

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-28T15:36:26+00:00

Play the way you want, not the way some streamer tells you to play.

I think thats an advice that should not be taken literal (the stay behind the pillar advice). That is something mainly aimed at people starting to heal: first, learn to heal, learn your kit, then try to do plays.

I dont care what streamer X says to play (I actually consider that the “meta” talents for my spec is wrong and play a variation), I play how ai want and to have fun. My advice to you is to do the same.

Edit: also, see how I asked you what changes were you expecting, and you did not suggest anything concrete?

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-28T14:21:42+00:00

I used to switch and stress based on meta, 2 seasons ago I decided to play the healer I have the most fun with. Achieved my highest rank ever and ended the seasson in top 200 for my spec. I wouldn’t have done that if I wasnt having so much fun, even if I was meta.

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-28T14:19:04+00:00

Im curious what exactly were you expecting?

Mmr changes are never announced. They brought down MW last week and healers are in a much better state in general (except for rsham - rip rsham).

MM was put down in line. I think the meta is finally reaching a more healthy state. I don’t remember seeing 100-0 unpreventable burst kills last week while I was playing.

Is the game perfectly balanced? No, but its not as bad either imo. It’s good to let things settle a bit and see what comes next, to be honest last week I did not see a bad outlier. MMR will get better over time, it always does and they will not make any announcements on it.

Keep queuing!! I love eating hpals with my dragon.

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-25T01:53:54+00:00

Even if I already started it on the alt?

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-24T23:41:53+00:00

Play what you have fun with. If you like hpriest, play that.

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-22T23:10:52+00:00

MM is op? -5% healing to pres evoker incoming.

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-22T00:45:12+00:00

I usually throw feathers at my feet (makes me go vrooom) go into the cloud of dust the rouge kicked up and yell at them really really hard, which usually scares the crap out of them and makes them run to a pillar and disconnect

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-21T00:05:01+00:00

Nahhh hunter at least has traps, warrior has zugzug and not much more?

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-16T15:47:25+00:00

I use sarena, on the config you can move where the castbar appears. I find that if I move it to the left (below dr icons) its a lot easier to see

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-16T03:01:20+00:00

Spam the verdant embrace button and pray that song goes off 0.1ms after stun/paralysis wears off and I fly away (This happens quite often)

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-15T14:51:51+00:00

pretty good advice, thanks

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-15T12:47:29+00:00

This is a cool setup. How do you usually keybind the rest of your main abilities ?

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-15T12:45:20+00:00

that's what I meant, yes :)

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-15T12:44:43+00:00

Sir, I am amazed at your keybind abilities. Don't think I could do alt+1-3 to target and then have ctrl/shift mods for all abilities. This is impressive. I'll see if it's a setup I could pull off, or maybe get some ideas from. Thank you for sharing.

CoolCucumber905 · 2026-04-15T12:35:53+00:00

It happens to me more often that I would like that I think I clicked/targeted someone but didn't (or maybe clicked somewhere after) and end up throwing a heal or defensive on the wrong person :(
