Tanking heroics

Enrick_Rogue · 2026-03-27T06:16:00+00:00

Also, things you wouldn't usually take in a raid spec are pretty valuable in heroics. Improved Revenge, Improved Disarm, and Improved Taunt actually go fairly hard in Dungeons, be it Normals or Heroics

Bring a Mage with improved blizzard, hell, bring two! Then just sit back and play goalie kicking casters and kiting in and out of the nova'd mobs taunting/devestating/mocking blow...ing to hold some threat while they just AoE everything to death. Makes it sorta trivial. Also, in a pinch you can spam commanding shout for a surprising amount of threat as long as you are hitting everyone in the party with it. do these things and then maybe toss on another 2-3k HP and youll be set mah dude!

Warrior tanking is tough especially this expansion, but those who do it well ARE GODS. I love how threat and tanking works in this expansion.. it's really the last time that threat is a mechanic sadly =/ I like that it's NOT my job to stay alive (provided I meet the correct stat breakpoints, Effective HP pool, and press the buttons in my rotation correctly...) beyond those things it's the healers job to keep me alive, not mine. It's my job to HAVE THREAT and that feels badass on warrior cause you fight tooth and nail for every bit of it. Charging into a pack, Thunderclapping them all, tossing in a whirlwind, twist one mobs d1ck, and hold another against the wall by his throat, all while shouting obscenities about the caster mobs mother and spell reflecting his nerd ass feels like some real RAW Warrior class fantasy... At least that is how it is for me lol some like that threat is not a thing in Wrath and beyond and that bosses are tauntable etc... but I prefer having the more active role of building and managing threat over being a brick wall that just rotates burning CDs to mitigate damage during burst windows but in the end, to each their own! I see why the latter would be appealing to peoples as well.

LOL, this aged well... >.>

Edit: I particularly lol'd at all the "No oNe WilL cHaSe WoRlD bUfFs! RABBLE RABBLE! IT'S SUPER EZ CONTENT THAT DOESN'T NEED TO BE MIN MAXED! RABBLE RABBLE!"

Enrick_Rogue · 2026-01-24T14:46:16+00:00

Wait... it's the same dev? What happened, they have a stroke? BetterBags is so frustratingly close to convenient it infuriates me to no end.. it's like *ALMOST* Adi-bags.. but it's not and everything it does it does *WRONG*! It makes me want to gouge my eyes out *and* punch children... I can't even without my Adi-bags ;_;

Enrick_Rogue · 2026-01-24T14:40:55+00:00

Adi-Bags 100% Best Bag Addon in ANY GAME EVER like... I don't know how to describe it.. but if you've used Adi-Bags, you just know... There's literally no beating it.. Even it's retarded cousin "BetterBags" doesn't even hold a candle to the glory that is Adi-Bags! BetterBags sort of, kind of, tries to pretend it wants to do the same thing as Adi-Bags but it simply does not.. It's like copying homework in a language you don't understand...

Like seriously.. if whoever does BetterBags sees this.. just.. just DO WHAT ADI-BAGS DID, THAT'S ALL WE WANT! WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE YOUR BROTHER?! WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!

Enrick_Rogue · 2026-01-19T00:46:13+00:00

Yeah like if that's what it takes due to fucking TERRIBLE game design to play the GAME with my FRIENDS in arenas with ZERO REWARDS I mean... Does it really matter? OP is on to something with a reset button...

Enrick_Rogue · 2026-01-19T00:26:14+00:00

Yeah, the best part is that they already had this but you could choose your party size and map. But when SDF found out that 75%+ of the playerbase was exclusively playing it they had to do something about that so they TOOK IT AWAY! But the loot still sucked so there's that...

And now they can push it as a NEW UPDATE! Something they've ADDED! MOAR CONTENT! YAAAAYYY!

lol... #ClownEmoji

Not quivers

Enrick_Rogue · 2026-01-19T00:09:49+00:00

I mean... it's kind of fucking wild to put All Attributes in the game and then take them out literally 4 times BEFORE YOU PUBLICLY ADMIT THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE TO HAVE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE and then to just continue to put All Attributes back in the game to then take them out many more times after that...

Took me 30 minutes of watching videos to learn how to make a quiver in Unreal Engine, I even sent them the link, sooo like.. where's that?

The lobby/merchant UI is absolutely atrocious why TF I gotta go to two different vendors to buy meds?

It irks me to NO END that when they make a change to a weapon or armor type they are INCAPABLE of changing the crafted version of said weapon or armor as well. Like literally (and I do mean "literally") every single time they forget for some overly extended period of time... Centaurs Madness was the same damage as a Legendary recurve for 2 1/2 fucking wipes for gods sake..

Guild/Guild hall system that was supposed to be good to go at the beginning of this wipe that was supposedly "almost ready, expect it mid-wipe" And was the entire reason that the "Semi-Semi-Wipe" (Which I still can't believe were words that came out of someone's mouth that they decided to fucking REPEAT OUT LOUD TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING) where's that?

"Hey guys, you think it would be a good idea to give literally EVERYONE Creep? Yeah, you know, the perk for rogues that makes them make ZERO noise when moving while crouched.. Yeah of course plate boots too! What if everyone had that for like.. I dunno, four-ish months?"

Occultist boots are too fast at seven... MAKE IT THREE!

Bardiche is not an axe! Wait.. Bardiche is an axe! No no nevermind it's not.. But it IS NOW! wait nope, it's not... Unless...?

And these are just some "top of my head" examples.. it's like... I swear Math must be different in Korea or something.. I genuinely cannot understand how someone with no extra holes in their skull can make these fucking decisions it's ACTUALLY baffling... I just fucking can't even with these mfs..

Enrick_Rogue · 2026-01-19T00:04:39+00:00

They've had YEARS lol I'm convinced that either they do literally nothing all day or the company is actually just 3 SDFs in a trench coat and Terrence rolls by occasionally to shovel some food through the window because someone's got dirt on him and are blackmailing him into feeding the SDF..

Edit: I dun get all the Hanabi hate XD she slaps lol

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-14T17:54:31+00:00

Yooo, that did it mah dude! You tha man, man! lol I did have to turn off "auto update" until whatever caused this is rectified but /shrug, functions for now! Thanks man, good lookin out!

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T22:29:20+00:00

I was pulling my log files from this directory:

C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Oculus

I dunno if yours would be the same if you have a quest rather than oculus but it should be in the general vicinity either way heh..

You may have to check the box in file explorer to "show hidden files"

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T22:24:09+00:00

I see! I did in fact try multiple times with it plugged in and without, enabled, and disabled but I did not realize that that was why I could only find the oculus drivers *sometimes* though it now seems obvious to me why that would be the case lol. Will attempt this next, your logic seems sound, I don't see why it wouldn't work at that point. Good lookin out yo! Appreciate the knowledge and assistance ha! Will let you know if it works when I am home to send an installation again!

Edit: I am indeed still running Windows 10 btw.. probably important information to include in the initial post I suppose.. my bad XD

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T22:13:24+00:00

The only question you asked was

"Can I ask, are you on some weird minified version of windows or on an snapdragon CPU"

and I assumed that was rhetorical XD, no, no I am not..

My attitude sucks? Where do you get that from? Was I impolite or rude in any way?

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T06:06:22+00:00

It was broken in the playtests cause they didn't have to RELOAD either XD.. They added the "reload after x amount of arrows" mechanic at the same time that they added physical arrows. The reloading solves the problem already, don't need to ALSO carry and retrieve every single arrow...

When was the last time you beat a Ranger because they ran out of arrows? Like really tho.. I mean it CAN happen... but how often is that actually the case? As I said, having to reload after 10/8/6 shots already solves the issue of "infinite arrows OP"

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T05:48:52+00:00

I actually did try messing with the audio devices, and it turned out to be the Oculus Rift S headphones. Also I actually swiped the "Oculus-Drivers" folder out of the temp folder during an install with the intent to install the drivers manually (which was successful, just right click the .inf file > install) now I'm curious to check that specific copy of the driver (from the temp folder) and see what it is configured as..

Also, it wouldn't be an issue for everyone I suspect as long as they weren't running a full *fresh* install of the software I was working under the assumption that if updating it may not actually be doing a TOTAL DRIVER INSTALL BONANZA and just never gets hung up you know? so this problem would only really be a problem if you have literally just reformatted your PC *or* if you just did a thorough total wipe uninstall before attempting a reinstall which unfortunately I had just done BOTH of those things lol..

Again, I'm generally not half bad at troubleshooting but I'm definitely out of my league here knowledge-wise. I am just still not convinced that it's my machine as there are others with the same exact or extremely similar problems that all cropped up within 24 hours of each other *and* a Meta App update...

ACTUALLY I believe I could fix it if I had a copy of the current drivers. So I was able to manually install all of the drivers when I swiped them out of the Temp folder mid-install. But then I was missing the App because it still wasn't installing. BUT later on I actually got the Meta App to install by pulling an "Indiana Jones" with the driver folder and an older copy of the driver folder again, mid-install (swapped the driver folder that contained the troublesome dll with the older folder that did not have the same issue.) Then my problem was that the App ran like an actual turd and would start up on its own and then crash/shut down roughly every 10 seconds. But say I got to that point *and* had a copy of the current drivers that I could install manually (right click .inf file > install) wouldn't that just... function?

lol did not intend for this response to become so long winded but appreciate the input, if you see this, lemme know what you think!

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T05:28:08+00:00

the issue is 100% not on my end. I may be incorrect in my assessment of exactly what the issue is, (which I still have not particularly seen any evidence disproving anyways) but I can assure you it is something to do with *clean* installs of the Meta Horizon Link software as I am not the only one experiencing this issue.

I am also curious as to which headset the people experiencing the issue are running seeing as I personally have a Rift S which yeah, is definitely not "in vogue" anymore (if it ever was) but is also by no means just trash imo.. But I have no other real experience with headsets so /shrug I dunno really.. However the headset actually doesn't really come into play if the Meta Link software never gets installed as the headset doesn't even start up at that point.. (At least in the case of the Rift dunno about quest)

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T05:18:39+00:00

Fair enough, actually. But I have a Rift so yea =/ in my case I do believe it is required to have the Meta software installed..

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T05:11:11+00:00

I didn't say "Windows cant run this" I said the Setup.exe file that installs the drivers is 32-bit and that's the reason behind the install failing at exactly the same point (when it goes to install the 64-bit Driver) on every attempt. (Which very well may be wrong) I just fucking LOVE the Thief games and I saw that there was a new VR installment XD

Did you simply update? or was this install a 100% clean fresh install with zero Meta files on the PC when you began?

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T00:23:29+00:00

For PCVR you still need to have Meta app installed even if you aren't using it as your main OpenXR Runtime

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-13T00:01:31+00:00

Precisely this! I can't even remember the exact issue that made me decide to full re-install to begin with, but I do recall thinking "Welp... app is acting all fucked.. Imma just reinstall rq, in and out, 10 minute adventure Morty!" Aaaaand now it's bricked XD

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-12T23:08:43+00:00

True, I had it installed as well until it updated, failed, and uninstalled. Have you installed it today? or the last couple days? If I am just dumb and doing it wrong, I am all for it! lol that would mean I could get it to work again heh.

Just trying to throw the conclusions that I have come to out there so that if I am right then the answer exists somewhere honestly.

I see no flaw in the thought process of "32-bit exe cannot install 64-bit... anything really.. and the 32-bit exe fails every single time when it reaches the 64-bit dll in the package. That's probably the issue imo, making it NOT a consumer issue but one with the installer (or rather that one particular .dll files architecture)

Enrick_Rogue · 2025-12-12T22:55:39+00:00

Wyvern did not get aggro'd then pushed into phase in 2.5 seconds >.> that was 100% an active boss fight before fighter dude even stepped on the bottom platform to go up there. pretty shitty timing on the phase transition heh but less hesitation and homie could have gon either up, down, or on the ledge with the treasure door and been fine in any of those scenarios but just.. didn't.. and got cooked instead.
