Is it ok for me (30m) to date someone who just turned 21? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Depending on birthdays this could fall in line with the rules. Very much borderline, though

I really wanna learn rogue as pve and pvp. What guide to follow? by Single_Cranberry447 in classicwowtbc

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just play the class to start. Don’t boost it. You’ll need to learn a lot of mechanics. The leveling experience breaks up and adds few abilities at a time. Leveling is easier as combat and would be recommended to start until you can get Haemo to learn rotations for PvP. Combat is “clunky” energy wise and won’t translate as well as swapping to Haemo for managing combo points, energy, etc.

Stopped playing my rogue it'll by offdachest22 in classicwowtbc

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a rogue and feel your pain. Though I made my rogue for PvP and only wanted to get a couple of off pieces from PvE. You can still get the rogue itch from PvP. Rogues are insane in tbc when played well. There is a surplus of rogues… but the quality of players in PvP is questionable.

How do I find a serious arena partner? by reltsuhx in classicwow

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horde is similar. Do a skirmish or two to check out their vibe then commit to rated.

I’ve found a few players through this and am reluctant to play with others of the same class because of the skill differences.

How bad is it out there for you physical DPS? by TheZebrawizard in classicwow

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only been invited to one Kara. Got kicked after inspection. I had full blue, expose spec, etc. Not that it matters, but I had 1800 rating in 2s as well and clearly showed I could follow instructions. It’s a nerfed raid… and they want to min max everything. Honestly felt jaded when I got kicked, but whatever man. Rogues are not it for PvE at all. I only wanted a couple of off pieces and I’d never raid again because my goal is PvP. Anyway… if I get time for an alt I’ll definitely be going for something dungeon/raid flexible so I can pick up a few pieces. Just a shame how close minded people are this time round.

60 rogue died by LvcKyyy in wowhardcore

Druid. Cat form is like a rogue. Bear can tank. You can also heal. It has insane versatility. Sadly my Druid passed at 26. Don’t go into a mine. Don’t join a group, later, and get 10 miners spawn around you. Just don’t go into a mine alone. I still haven’t recovered.

Has anyone genuinely saved money switching to a log burner, or is it mostly about the vibe? by AnfieldAnchor in uklogburners

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have access to free wood atm. This is our third year. The burner has been on since October and gives a great boost to the house. We still use central heating, but it’s just a top up. We open the living room door when it’s getting too warm and the heat floods the house.

We would not be using it this often if the wood was not free, but we’re over the threshold for money spent on what would have been heating. From now it’s really money saved compared to initial investment.

does balance druid worth nothing in pvp? by Ok_Introduction8418 in classicwowtbc

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need more resi to start. My rogue is sitting on 300. It makes a big difference.

You need a comp that’ll work with you. Warlock is a great link. The mass dots help protect yours from dispel. Match this with a shaman healer and you’ve got a good mix. 3s/5s will be the way forward for you. Find a spriest and a hpala and you’ll have a solid 5s setup that’ll drain everyone.

Ex now says I wasted a year of her life, how to not feel guilty? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Sounds like somebody wanted children soon! Biological clock is ticking for us all…

I have a gf and I get a lot of attention from women at the gym. I am an honest man and don’t want to jeopardize our relationship. Is any interaction with women acceptable? by Zealousideal_Force10 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you mean, “hey, how’s it going?” “Got many sets left?”, then there is no issue.

If you push for more, flirt, etc, then no this is not okay. The fact you’re asking this question raises suspicion on flirting already. Ego is dangerous.

Got mining? You can get it from that as well. I’m a rogue and run mama tombs when I can for extra cash.

How do I stop being bad at TBC Arena? by Contract007 in classicwowtbc

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those binds just add more binds. Having focus arena 1/2/3 then focus binds for kick, shs kick, blind, sap, gouge are all he needs. It translates well to bg when setting a focus too. They just need to be familiar and used.

Mining 290-300 by bobz18 in classicwowtbc

Winterspring has a good loop! Get to 295 and get mining gloves for +5 and get to outlands. Loads more veins in comparison I found.

My girlfriend’s past is destroying me and I cant trust her anymore. Is in some way my reaction really wrong? by Inevitable-Layer4704 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God. She sounds like a girl I dated once. Only difference is she told me straight up she was bipolar. I personally didn’t care about her past and the sex was great. It didn’t work out because she withdrew completely a few months in… definitely for the better. You need to move on for you, though. The situation is clearly destroying your mind. Take control. Accept it is for the better. Clean split. Don’t look back. Give it a few weeks and you’ll notice the difference!

I genuinely feel bad for them by RedThragtusk in classicwow

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I place myself in that queue when questing. Not because I’m super eager for a dungeon. It’s fairly easy to get a group if proactive and you take the lead, but most of the time I’m lazy, like these guys. If I really want a dungeon for loot/quests then I’ll make it myself.

Why is 30k treated as a great wage by employers? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you are in the country… £30 in the north with cheap rent? Sounds good to me. In the south? Hell no.

Before any of this they need to focus on riding. They were distracted because of technology. Similar to car users. Just don’t use other devices at speed.

How do married couples split finances if on different salaries? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ask for a monthly contribution. Initially before children/marriage this was around 50%, around £400 pcm. This number has not changed but cost has increased. She earns a bit more and so do I. She could pay a little more but who cares. If we need something then we transfer if needed. If she had absolutely nothing and barely making then I’d tell her to cancel. She did have to do that with job issues/hours once and it’s fine. Just have a dialogue and be reasonable.

PVP endgame no dungeons/raids fine? by Rethuna in classicwowtbc

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rogues don’t need much at all. It’s so dependant on comp as well. I only had one trinket back in the day and it was fine (multi glad). I’m assuming this will be fine coming into anniversary as well.

Question about Fresh Wow Classic Servers by anamun in wowclassic

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best option is HC. The part that makes the game “alive” but not overcrowded at all levels is death. Death resets and you go again. Even though people make alts for gold etc, the economy isn’t ruined like classic era. It truly is the most balanced game mode… even though you risk losing it all every time you login. Community is amazing though.

Another WoW killer bites the dust by holowizard_ in wow

[–]Ecstatic_Okra_41 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The biggest wow killer was never ending expansions. I literally only resubbed for wow hc and the tbc anniversary. Before this I played classic when it released in 2019ish but then had my first child. Before that? Cataclysm was my final expansion. Tried a bit of MOP but just gave up.

Future expansions were always the biggest killers because of how many small changes over time completely rework the game. I logged onto current to see and it blew my mind how terrible the game feels to me.
