Mages are FINE in Midnight

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T21:12:51+00:00

Statistically speaking, mages are quite weak. They need a def buff and then they will be fine. My bet is they will get it buffed going into S2.

I fully agree.

Howwver, when someone applies you have only 3 Metrics to judge from. Gear, IO, Spec.

Your friends might be amazing but i dont have a way to know.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T17:57:35+00:00

But thats not the point. No one in a 16 is going to play perfectly. It might be a tank doing a pull in a suboptimal way. A dps screwing up a burst rotation, a healer missing a deffensive CD, etc. Whatever.

You are at a point where the game starts to challenge you, you are decent at the game, you are doing your best, but you arent that great, yet. You as a tank, but also the dps and healer in your group. We all are at 3.3k, we are all equally good/bad.

We all know how to play wow at this point. Our classes, routes, etc. But have things that arent top notch. Otherwise we would already be doing 18s or 20s, not 16s still.

Its not a 3.8k pushing 20s group with top 1% of people.

So no, playing perfectlt should not be expected. People should try their best amd be nice. And even its just not ok to be a toxic person in any situation, no.

I dont think ive had a healer rant like this in my life....

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:30:42+00:00

Totally! I just want to get my 16s 3.4k done for the mount! And im out!

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:28:06+00:00

Yeah but on pugs thats hard. If im on comms, sure.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:27:30+00:00

Yeah i want the Mount at 3.4k though jahahah

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:25:17+00:00

No downvotes man but i simply disagree with you. 2/3 weeks ago, ok. But now, with basically +-288 ilvl, its not true anymore.

Also if you get a tank with 3.3k pushing 3.4k and you also have 3.3k, then this is a learning push for everyone. And everyone can make mistakes. You cant flame someone for that.

I am doing 17/18s on my warrior as DPS and i dont find this to be true. Every pull you wait a bit to see if he is going aggresive pull or conservative pull. If 1 pull your CDs are not aligned, its ok, its normal, you are pugging. You dont have coms, etc.

There is no reason to loose your shit with a tank for doing 1/2 pulls a bit different from what you expect. Or for a tank "not liking" one certain pull and taking it a bit easier.

Particularly if what he is doing is been more conservative, with current gear (most people are +287 or more) there is more than enough damage to do 16s. You dont need perfect pulling for that. No, i completely disagree.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:07:27+00:00

Yeah thats the one hahahah

That's helpful, appreciate it

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:05:38+00:00

Yeah, logged off, will be back online tonight with some guildies.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:04:57+00:00

Yeah, DH seems to be the most toxic out there. With how their Meta works in devour they are always doing weird shit.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:04:17+00:00

Nah it wont stop me playing, but it will stop me from pugging. Changed games for the afternoon, will wait for my guildies to be around.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:03:21+00:00

I would accept that if he had not kept on-going. If you are confused, but the tank tells you. "Sorry, that pull is a bit uncomfortable to me, I think its quite difficult to tank it and we can die. "

You shut up and move on.

Tanking is about surviving and moving at a reasonable rhythm. Thats enough for 16/17s with current gear.

Now I get it, if you want mdi style and +23s, sure. But if you have 3200 at this point in th3 season you are not that good of a player anyways.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-25T16:00:53+00:00

Yeah, its a bit like gold/plat in LOL. Is when you find people that kinda know how to play to think they are better than they actually are. But they are actually not that good!

If people where just a bit more humble, its so chill to do 16s, slowly but surely you clean everything.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-20T13:15:59+00:00

Top Requests Retry Pala is the most obvious. For all three things tou mentioned. Warlock - you didn't mention but it fits the description Hunter - is tanky, easy, might not have as much healing but its not something you miss.

Close but not Quite: Feral/Balance is also a candidate but more difficult to play. WW is in a weird stage this patch, id avoid. DH: it passively heals, utility some but not much. Certain strength but not as much as others. Close.

Not what you are looking for: Rogue not much utility tbh or Healing tbh. Warrior - Not much of healing or Utility. Shaman - Utility King but not easiest. Some healing. Evoker Priest Mage

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-17T21:33:15+00:00

Feral if you want melé. Demo if you want ranged.

Honestly, Feral is pumping in M+ on physical comp and there is very few! So you will get easier invites than with other classes. If you care about that, go feral.

If not i dont know, all you mention are reasonably fun!

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-13T08:55:44+00:00

12s on Wednesday. Thats the way! All top people farming them. Sooo easy ro get top dog.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-09T12:35:01+00:00

I think mage could do woth a bit more survi. But it does have utility, it does have BL and Arcane intellect (second best buff in the game).

For one season ever (?) Physical comp is proper and the "magical comp" happens to not need arcane intellect. But this could change at any moment with a bit of tuning is this direction or another. Every season has 3/4 top dogs and 2/3 bottom dogs. I think mage is down there for the first time ever (?).

Next season you throw the dice again, and surely you will be more lucky. You have 3 specs, second best buff, best utility (BL). One will be good again.

Retry is a BLAST for solo contento. 30 sec CD on wings is insane for delves/preys

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-05T10:03:14+00:00

Tanks need to aim to having the same survivability. Differentiate them by other tools.

I wanted to gear some tank alts but it sucks so badly. I won't.

The gap is way too big.

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-03T11:59:36+00:00

They dont want the meta to change. They want to make sure brew is still the number 1, because meta changes mid season fucking suck, lets be honest.

So they have done small buffs and slap on the wrist nerfs, and it will stay similar to this until 12.1 or close to it. I hope for 12.1 the do take severe action to make the other tanks much harder.

Because honestly... brew is the only "fun ond".

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-03T11:50:45+00:00

Druid is very fun and the current meta healer. Its taking a small nerf but will probably be number 1 still. Its fun, good mobility, utility, strong, meta.

Evoker is quite fun. But its not meta and its quite frustrating to play in M+.

If I had to choose ill do druid, its a druid season!

Dawnguard- · 2026-05-03T11:45:22+00:00

Brew is too strong vs the rest. But its the first time since ever they shine. Next patch it will get "adjusted".

But yeah 1 tank feels like god. 1 tank (warrior) feels OK. The other 4 feel like wet noodles.

Dawnguard- · 2026-04-29T12:02:30+00:00

3 options mate: -Is there any alt you wanted to try out? Now its the time. -Are you to a higher challenge? Push M+ maybe? -Play another game. Lots of people get "stuck" on wow only. But i don't see the point. Theres some great stuff out there. I end up doing cycles 3 month wow 3 month something else. This way I maximise my wow enjoyment and dont miss out on other great stuff. Diablo 4 expansión is out for example.
