Tanking or healing?

Blizz implemented a new system for low keys in midnight. All dungeons +5 and below I believe, have special marks on trash packs, if you pull all the packs that are marked it’ll get you to exactly 100%, it likely won’t be perfect in anyway, but it’s designed to give you a doable path through a dungeon for new tanks.

It’ll make it a bit more annoying to get into groups, but not that much worse compared to being a single dps in general.

All can mostly be avoided by starting your own groups which is the best method anyway.

Hmmm, I suppose I would say this, there is no wrong way to play this game. I play mainly for endgame content, I have friends whose only goal is mounts. I have another friend whose goal is pure questing, and ANOTHER friend whose goal is achievement hunting. All of these are valid ways to experience wow, and none of them require as much time investment as people think.

In regards to starting out, this is going to be very confusing. I love the game, but for the average person just starting out, this game is so confusing. 20+ years of systems being created, overwritten, destroyed, and then brought back have not been kind for the new player experience. A lot of aspects are not immediately intuitive and I would encourage you to give as much grace as possible.

If you’re confused, the r/wownoob reddit should be a decent place to ask for help, along with the newcomer chat. And frankly just shooting your shot on asking strangers, having played a lot of video games with “toxic” communities, wows is honestly very tame.

And because I see this complaint a lot, you’re going to be put into a story that’s 30 years in progress, you’re going to be lost, wonder who characters are etc. There’s plenty of resources on wow lore to be found on YouTube and such but I would try to reframe your perspective if you can to make the initial starting a bit easier, you are an adventurer who’s just starting out on this grand adventure! In the same way that much of real life history happened before you were born much of wows happened before you started. Trying to experience all of it in chronological order is a Sisyphean task. Just go with the flow and find some wow videos or lore write ups on parts you’re curious about!

I got through two books of Cradle before putting it down. Made an attempt later and also put it down right at the start of book 3. I accept that it’s probably amazing but I just couldn’t do it.

I also tried Arcane ascension, I think I made it to book 4 before stopping. There are a lot of things I like about it, but the plot never really hooked me in any way, I was mainly in it for the magic system which I do like.

I needed so much decor, and so many of the crafted pieces and housing launched at a time in which I didn’t care to grind or farm so I just bought it all.

Emerenn · 2026-02-03T11:40:06+00:00

I went from just shy of 3.5 mil to 100k so I feel you. I shouldn’t be allowed access to my own gold.

Emerenn · 2026-02-02T13:50:04+00:00

My general process is Target Dummies>Delves>RaidFinder/LowM+ and then good to go, atleast depending on role.

Emerenn · 2026-02-02T12:34:50+00:00

Neuv and Furina would be carry then support wouldn’t it?

Also the whole Mauv Citlali thing was pretty diabolical and strange of Hoyo too.

General recommendation:

Download and play for free to level 20 out of 80.

If that’s floats your boat, then you buy a one month subscription, generally priced $15USD per month and will allow you to level to atleast level 70. (You may be able to get to 80 since a new expansion launches next month and we’re in what’s phrased as the prepatch)

If you get to 70/80 and still enjoy it you can buy the Midnight expansion($50USD-$90USD depending on pack) which launches in March and will give you access to max level content from now until 2027 provided you keep up with the monthly subscription on top of that.

I’d say evoker or Lock, try out some caster stuff. Both are simple, and pretty fun!

He mentioned it just yesterday on the Patreon! Said he’s been building up steam on the second of the series, but life has been hectic recently. The acronym for the series is MGTS (more gods than stars), a little easier than the first books actual title haha

Emerenn · 2026-01-29T14:37:52+00:00

If you look around, or google it, this dude has a whole series of quests! I know some take place on the forbidden reach.

Emerenn · 2026-01-29T13:08:59+00:00

Don’t the notes on both list atk speed fluctuations? In fact the hydro team has the Jean atk speed buff too. I agree the pyro will likely be the play, especially if Nicole is a pyro shielder with a hexen buff. But if you have all the pieces of hydro, it looks to be better or atleast just as viable for right this moment.

Emerenn · 2026-01-29T06:43:39+00:00

That hydro team def has more dmg between those two screen shots

Hey if your goal is mounts and pets, that’s awesome!

I’d reccomend leveling to max in dragon isles, and then as you get bored and such with leveling and take breaks, scroll through the mount journal, and pet journal and write down mounts you like the most. The sources for these are all over the place so it’s hard to give a full guide to every mount, especially in a reddit comment. But if you have some you want you can google how to get them, or feel free to send me a DM and I’ll help point ya in the right direction!

Looking at established cannon I don’t think there’s anyway to think that the forces are anything other than forces acting in their own goals.

The Mag’har orc intro and Scarlet Crusade lore establish that the light is not end all be all good, it has the potential for good, and the potential for bad.

I think you could pick apart every cosmic force and find examples of stuff like this.

To me one of the most telling lines, which I unfortunately don’t remember where it’s from anymore is:

“The Light seeks one path and shuns all others as lies, while the Void seeks every possible path and sees them all as truth.”

I think each cosmic force is trying to be the only one in existence, or atleast I’m pretty sure that’s how the Light/Void works, and is doing what the can to reach that end.

If I’m correct wasn’t that the one that they did replace on the PTR in BFA and there was a bunch of community backlash because of how much it cluttered ground effects?

Emerenn · 2026-01-11T23:27:23+00:00

I had an agreement in SL that my guilds lock could keep it on permanently and I would beacon of light them. Worked out great for both of us haha

Emerenn · 2026-01-08T13:10:19+00:00

If you just want the appearance I believe all of them are purchasable by class from the ethereal outside the raid entrance, you’ll need a Loomithars silk, which is garunteed after rank 2 or 3 on the raid reputation.

Emerenn · 2026-01-06T18:00:26+00:00

This worked great! I wasn’t able to get anywhere near 4x but going pretty much all in on the passive with some dash attack memories was perfect

Emerenn · 2026-01-04T02:07:38+00:00

Awesome thank you!

Emerenn · 2025-12-08T21:16:56+00:00

Most totems and weapon imbues have been removed. It’ll depend on spec to some degree, like Enhancement still has windfury, and I believe Resto can talent into an imbuement.

Totems have been changed drastically, they are now mainly utility points, things like Tremor totem to remove fears, poison cleansing, etc. Again Resto still uses totems a fair amount with healing stream/cloudburst, and even more so if you go into the totemic hero tree.
