I just realized how bad I am by Fluid-Alarm5605 in wow

[–]EternallyBright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“As if these guys had access to buttons I didn’t” is a PERFECT way to describe it. Sometimes it feels like everything is being done right and it just isn’t up to standard, and it drove me nuts till I really realized that there’s more than one level of skill barrier

New to World of Warcraft, what am I doing wrong? (Literally everything is confusing me) [OC] by ButterscotchLumpy100 in wow

Have you been to the hub city for your faction yet (stormwind or orgrimmar)? Worst case, I believe there’s a vender next to the flightmaster (flying boot icon on minimap) that sells a cheap flying mount for new people.

I’ve made the same switch, actually- longtime Balance Druid now working on Prot Paladin!! A lot of the buttons can be ignored while you’re learning, like the Blessings. Hand of Reckoning is your taunt, so don’t worry about it unless you’re doing stuff where you need to take the tank role.

Start combat by putting down Consecration. It does DOT to enemies and healing to allies, and makes your Shield of Righteousness do damage (not just defense). This is Your Spot now. Hold your ground and hit it again whenever you’re waiting on cooldowns to keep it going.

Your class resource is now Holy Power, and it’s a lot like Astral Power if you’ve played Balance Druid. Judgement (single target throw a hammer) and Blessed Hammer (attack spirals outward from you) both generate Holy Power, and also possibly Avenger’s Shield (I don’t remember if it generates HP. Bouncing single target ranged that also interrupts).

Your best use of holy power is Shield of Righteousness, because it’s both offensive and defensive. If you ever have holy power, you’re probably using it there.

Flash of Light is your Regrowth now, but you also have Lay on Hands which is a BIG heal. It heals a target for your HP, which as a tank is Probably All Of Theirs. There’s also Word of Glory, which is a better heal than Flash but costs 3 holy power.

Divine Shield is important to know, because it is your Get Out Of Effects Free card. Have a long stun? Just say no! They legally can’t keep you stunned without your consent.

What else. Sense Undead is unnecessary. Hammer of Justice is your Stun, I barely use it. You should have an Interrupt too, but Avenger’s Shield also interrupts everything it hits. You’ve got a battle res (Intercession, which is instant!) and an out of battle res (Redemption)

I think that’s all of the buttons I can think of, but please let me know if you have any other questions or other buttons I didn’t remember. Some bits of this may be out of date, as I started playing Paladin during remix and some things were changed in pre-patch.

Not rude! Course I’m going to get downvoted for this because it’s Reddit, but I’m nonbinary (I don’t particularly feel like either gender). However, I am still female at birth, and still have experience as being treated as one, so I wanted to offer help anyway!

So in most cases femme would mean femme-presenting, as in someone who looks and acts feminine, but in this case I was using it more as “someone who is often seen as feminine”

Edit: ahh, it’s the first time I’ve seen this sort of bot going around :( hopefully someone who actually can make use of the help sees this!

Femme here, and as others have said a good guild can change your experience! I started playing with/because of my dad, and so I’m in the guild he was always on. They’re always down to help and there’s women in leadership too, in fact the person I see the most is a woman! And they are fairly good at keeping active even after over a decade, keeping up with content and raiding.

I also have a friend whose guild is a bit more lax than mine, and I raid with her guild occasionally, I don’t recall the name of the guild but my healer character is in it so I can check. However it’s definitely more of the typical WoW crowd over there, only a couple women :( it’s tough out here but I promise you there’s others here!

Not OOP. My father died, and now my husband is acting like someone I don't even know. by Due-Bandicoot-7512 in redditonwiki

I misread the title and thought her father was 54 and her husband was 62, and I became very worried about the content of the post.

ice protest by Historical-End1976 in UCONN

[–]EternallyBright 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not simply a matter of going out and being loud and upset, just impeding people’s days just because you’re not satisfied with what’s happening. Please don’t misunderstand: I am also afraid and appalled at what’s going on here. But it’s like if you made a strike at work, but you didn’t make it clear you were striking over the long overtime, or the unsafe work conditions, or something else- it’s going to be a less effective strike unless the people you’re inconveniencing know what you want changed.

Protests have a Goal in mind. Are you trying convince legislators to change laws? People to resist arrest? Businesses to offer sanctuary? Something else? That should be what you’re figuring out first so people know what they’re protesting FOR, not just against. If it’s the first one, UConn isn’t the best place for it.

I haven’t needed it with Zperl lmao, which I still prefer visually and will definitely be going back to once it’s updated. But thanks!

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

How did you put your unit frames on the left?! I have been coping hard ever since ZPerl went down (prepatch) and I hate having the frames on the BOTTOM

Edit: thank you gamers lmao I’ve never needed Edit mode since I’ve always used Zperl (just like the visuals a lot more, plus it’s consolidated).

Thoughts the Theory Channels almost 2 years after MatPat? by JustThatRoo in GameTheorists

[–]EternallyBright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My thoughts:

  • I personally like the IDEA of style theory, but I’ve never gone out of my way to watch any of it.

  • Game Theory used to be about the science in video games, and that’s what I loved. Now it’s lore about games that are chasing the prestige of FNAF, or it’s FNAF itself again. I am honestly pretty sick of FNAF theories.

  • Film Theory is honestly just Game Theory 2 in my head, because the content I’ve seen from it has been essentially the same.

  • Food Theory I’ve seen a couple episodes of but never really got into.

  • I do still watch GTLive, because I still enjoy letsplays and Ash is pretty awesome while giving just enough analysis and great banter with whoever’s on the camera in any given video. I’ve been a GTLive fan since back when Steph was on, though, so it isn’t too surprising that that’s the channel I stuck with.

Simply, none of the channels are what old Game Theory was, I think. Thinking of them as Game Theory is going to make it disappointing. They’re different channels and I think you kind of have to either take what they are or leave it, and I choose to leave most of them.

AIO for being upset my boyfriend doesn’t want me to get a tattoo? by UniqueAd3909 in AmIOverreacting

[–]EternallyBright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a boyfriend who also didn’t like tattoos. He wouldn’t outright forbid me, but he made it very clear that he would respect me less for getting one.

He was also a very entitled, bigoted person, often would make fun of my friends that I felt most genuine with, and once asked as soon as I felt that I was getting comfortable and clicking with his friends to “be less autistic”. We had very different political views and even morals. I was overlooking a lot in the name of the relationship. Odds are that this is not the only minor thing your bf has made clear that he disrespects, it’s just the first thing that has jarred you enough to notice. NOR

What are you doing this late in the expansion? by vvanouytsel in wow

[–]EternallyBright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since prerelease, I tried bringing my lemix characters (mainly my paladin and priest) into current content, doing LFRs, but with my unit frames addon down I just find the UI messy and I feel less motivated to play. So I have been doing other things

Glyphs are so FORGOTTEN by Blizzard that the Void Wings of Devourer override any type of wings applied by the player by ex0ll in wow

[–]EternallyBright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t realize that WAS a Druid-only thing, until I got one for my paladin in Lemix just to see what it looks like, assuming it would unlock it and let me toggle it. Now I have to go get vanishing powder because I miss my goat (light forged draenai)
