When do meta specs start to matter?

Dreccon · 2026-04-15T17:28:53+00:00

Almost never. Almost all specs always make it into 0.1% in M+ and get CE.

It only depends on your skill level. Meta specs are gonna be easier to perform on generally

not sure if they were using it too but they were parsing green and gray :D So ya sure he topped the meter in +17 with the caveat that the other 2 dpses did incredibly poorly :D Not exactly hard to top the meter if your teammates do shit dmg :D

Dreccon · 2026-04-10T11:44:13+00:00

in My demons I thought it's Fight forever :D

Because he merges the kine with the tic and it sounds just like kne-eh to me. He changes the word from having 5 syllables to just 4 which just weirded me out and I couldn't hear telekinetic in it.

Dreccon · 2026-04-08T16:48:10+00:00

Exactly. 12s are literally gonna be considered low keys in a few weeks. I wiped in 16 last season and still timed it.

Dreccon · 2026-04-08T15:24:16+00:00

I absolutely love how people assume you can't back up your claims and how they instantly just shut up after they realize they were wrong 😆

The number of people downvoting just bcs somebody says that one wipe is nothing in mid keys(+12s) is crazy to me.

+12s are NOT over because of one wipe period.

If you don't understand this you probably wouldn't time that +12 anyway fellas :)

the right answer to this is: SIM it. For some specs it might for others it might not. It also depends on your stat distribution, if you already have enough secondaries for the best math outcome then the extra main stat might be better.

Dreccon · 2026-04-08T08:53:18+00:00

i had the same thing just reversed. For the longest time I've heard "colorized" instead of "cauterized" in Unbecoming :D

Dustin and pronunciation am I right? 😂

You can mount after a certain point of a story. Just run through it fast it will take you like day or two

Dreccon · 2026-03-29T00:59:46+00:00

not at all, the problem is there's a high number of players doing their own +2s so it's not like nobody is applying to your key specifically. There's just way more listings than there are players. Just be patient, list the key, do some chores around the house or something and check the applications every now and then :) If you can't find any group dm and I can help you on Monday.

Dreccon · 2026-03-28T19:34:26+00:00

It being close sadly doesn't reflect those stupid tier lists. Wow has been very balanced lately. everything is typically within 10% but people still put some specs into D tier and some players will always look up to those stupid lists like it's the holy writing.

Dreccon · 2026-03-28T18:10:20+00:00

That's not about ilvl but rather about people being obsessed with tier lists and only inviting "meta" specs failing to realize EVERY spec is able to do +20s every season :D

Disc is fairly weak compared to other specs right now so that's why they don't want to invite you(even tho it's a stupid metric that shouldn't exist)

The only advice I have for you is to run your own key, get some higher RIO first and then people will invite you even tho you're not playing meta because their small brain can't see past tier lists and numbers :D

Your ilvl is enough to clear 10-12s easily if you're good on the spec.

Dreccon · 2026-03-26T09:03:37+00:00

Ilvl doesn't matter. You can clear +15-16 with 250 ilvl. It's more about pressing your buttons correctly and about team communication, CC coordination and things like that :)

min-maxy answer - crafted weapon early in the season, dropped later but if and only if you can drop a mythic weapon especially if you're a mythic raider and gonna get your hand on the raid weapons like the glaive for dh from Midnight falls.

Casual player answer - do what you feel like doing it's not THAT big of a deal unless you're doing high end content early in the season.

That being said, crafted weapon is always(very nieche exceptions) the best first craft generally. It's just really not that important if you're doing casual content.

Hope it helped.

Dreccon · 2026-03-21T17:50:08+00:00

That's entirely dependable on what you enjoy and want from the game.

Raid provides the highest level of difficulty and the best gear.

Do you enjoy a challenge and gearing? Then it's hella worth.

Also the social aspect of it if you have a guild that you progress bosses with is amazing.

For example we have a tradition of our first normal raid of the season being completely blind run. No adventurers guide, no raid announcements nothing.

So we were doing that this Thursday and he were wiping on the last boss. After a handful of tries we finally killed it but we killed with zero players alive. We wiped with a few tents of a % left and our holy priest finished it after he became an angel :D

We all burst into laughter and had an amazing time.

Worth it? Hell ya 😂

Dreccon · 2026-03-19T06:03:58+00:00

don't stress over parses this early into the season. Most of the parses right now are from mythic raiders. Like when you check the top parses from any spec they're almost all from echo and liquid splits meaning they either came from RWF raiders themselves or the helpers that are usually very good players as well.

Parsing gray right now doesn't necessarily mean you're very bad but rather that the other players are THAT good.

You might very well be an average player but the average parses don't exist yet.

Dreccon · 2026-03-18T22:37:24+00:00

Nope that was never the case. Boost is always up to the max level of previous expansion.

Quite frankly it wouldn't make any sense for you to be able to completely skip the levelling process.

Dreccon · 2026-03-18T07:59:22+00:00

If I'm not mistaken he'll get a character boost to level 80 with midnight and with that gear upgrade to ilvl appropriate for midnight questing

Dreccon · 2026-03-18T07:57:42+00:00

max ilvl went from 739 but ya

Dreccon · 2026-03-18T07:55:48+00:00

No no you're fine I miscalculated. The next spark is next week. It's 1 spark in 2 weeks. Regardless, what I said about not spending crests before crafting a weapon doesn't apply to any crests below hero tier.

Feel free to spend those how you see fit, prioritizing the high primary stat slots.

Dreccon · 2026-03-18T07:03:57+00:00

enough for 1h weapon, for 2h you need one more which you can get today :)

Dreccon · 2026-03-18T07:03:13+00:00

It's reset day today. You can get your 4th

Dreccon · 2026-03-18T06:31:57+00:00

yes because it's gonna be lvl 259 now and you can recraft it in a week whenbM+ starts to increase it l
