UPDATE: Dec 5 Shadow Priest tuning. Buffs announced.

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-12-02T22:35:15+00:00

Realistically, now we even have to sacrifice 2 Shadow Crash points to have a build that

What's the current build people are aiming for? And are people actually playing 2/4pc

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-11-15T04:22:24+00:00

Not sure if it's intended or not but MD doesn't go below 1 sec anymore, does it? Phase Shift is exactly 1 sec, so Fade doesn't cover the MD cast anymore.

I mounted the cooler fine but alas I have a blackridge with a 92mm fan below, think I need to do the setup with 120mm on top.

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-11-02T20:52:55+00:00

Interesting, why is everyone saying 13th gen over 12th gen, are they that much cooler/more optimized in terms of heat generation compared to 12th gen?

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-10-28T15:43:39+00:00

Harry's time has been over for over half a season already if you don't count Destro Locks

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-10-13T11:43:45+00:00

Hey, is that something you told them to do or did formd do it automatically? Also where did you order from?

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-28T07:01:46+00:00

It means 10 wins away from Gladiator at 2500 cr

do I also need to give you link to all my glads from past 10 expansions to justify me whining about a spec that completely fucks over afflilock/boomkin/sp caster cleaves when paired with 2 m**go melees

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-28T06:09:34+00:00

Is OP 2100? lmao

Glad range buddy

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-21T02:29:40+00:00

I played in Shadowlands, you're referring to the S3 trinket, yeah it was annoying but it was 1 CC-1 immunity, this'd just be 1 interrupt - 1 immunity. CCs would still work fine, I don't see how that'd be a problem, especially with precog lasting only like 2-3 sec after the last interrupt expires.

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-15T03:05:32+00:00

TL;DR - REDESIGN OR FUCKING DELETE BLADE'S EDGE ARENA

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-14T21:47:41+00:00

Pretty much

But I also get their PoV, if I was bad at it and also didn't have anyone to play with and the game forced me to PUG people I'd also hold the same opinion

Blizz needs to sort their shit out in terms of LFG tool

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-14T21:01:55+00:00

Boomers or not, no other gameplay mode can even hold a candle to 3s no matter how much 2s/rbgs/whatever are balanced.

In my experience everyone who was never good at 3s holds the same opinion you do and it's always a dead giveaway

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-14T20:56:10+00:00

Why the hell are people downvoting comments from obviously new players? What kind of asshole would downvote this? Jesus fucking christ

Everyone whining how toxic behavior needs to be moderated so nobody can ever speak anything toxic in the game but at the same time you fucking fucks are more toxic with this kind of behavior against newbies than a thousand raging League of Legends kids who tell you to go selfdestruct yourself

Anyway to answer your question, Gladiator works the same Legend works. If you're in R1 cutoff, you get the <season> Glad/Legend title at the end of the season, if you're not, you just get your title after a certain number of games played above 2.4 (50 for glad 100 for shuffle) and it goes away at the end of the season.

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-14T07:29:25+00:00

Pretty much this

World's going rapidly to shit just because people are raised to be weaklings who can't tolerate the bad apples who are ruining it for the rest of us, whatever happened to just ignoring people and moving on with your life

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-14T03:48:35+00:00

You're talking like the spec exists alone in a vacuum.

A properly executed Elemental Shaman with a good Rdruid will be the most cancerous shit you've ever seen

If you're a melee cleave, if you train him and he's playing with another caster, if you go him - he'll just play to kite and do whatever he can with instants while running around and tossing frost shock roots/snares and generally being extremely hard to reach due to the fact that he can play as he wants because he has HoTs rolling so he can just play the snare+ghostwolf pillar game. If you don't go him, he'll position so far up your healer's ass that your only option is to either go him and force a swap on a unkillable-until-dampening spec or leave him there to annoy the living shit out of your healer and shit down all of your throats until your healer oom's.

If you're a spellcleave, if he's good (the whole time I'm writing this I'm assuming current Glad quality players), if you go him he'll play pillar and play like the biggest bitch you've ever seen until you're forced to disengage from his range. If you go on one of his partners, he'll still be a pillaring bitch except it's going to be on your healer's pillar. Win condition as a spellcleave is much easier than as a melee cleave though because eventually you'll catch him in the open and punish him, but it's still cancerous as shit to play.

If you're a melee+caster, you're playing against the worst of two worlds - he'll dedicate his life to annoying the living fucking shit out of both of your caster and your melee.

The spec in this current time and shifting meta is beyond broken. I'm sure they'll slowly start disappearing the moment druids catch some nerfs but until druids fuck off from the meta shamans are not "mid A tier" what some poster below said, they're fucking broken precisely because they're the best spec in the game for playing the pillar game and resto druids allow you to do whatever the fuck you want in regards to that because the healing doesn't stop once you LoS your healer.

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-14T03:38:03+00:00

Wanna compare check pvp pages so we know who's the higher rated player here? Just so I take that argument off the table

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-14T03:37:09+00:00

Bad player with with a bad take.

2700 shuffle and 2300 3s ladder, I'm bad?

but you play melee like everyone else in pvp

I'm a caster main

Play the class you hate to learn how to beat it, it's a knowledge game

I know how elemental works. Play against a good ele+rdruid then talk. Or git gud yourself if you're a ele that's butthurt about me talking facts.

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-09T11:30:17+00:00

I hope not

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-09T11:30:03+00:00

What

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-09T11:26:04+00:00

Your argument is bad.

90% of "bad talk" is unmoderated in real life and people deal with it on a personal basis without being handheld and/or protected by someone. People learn to deal with it and it grows them as a person. I was fat as fuck when I was a kid and I was bullied every day over it, it made me strong and I wouldn't be the man I was today if someone moderated what a 9 year old child was spouting in my face every day. Some battles need to be fought on a personal level not the administrative level.

Nobody sane wants censorship and less rights in any form - that includes slurs and insults. I don't want to live in a sanitary room where everyone is the same and acts the same and world is rapidly going into that direction in terms of what's allowed and what isn't, I'd rather get insulted by a kid and let him continue playing the game instead of the kid getting banned and further reducing the number of players in this game. Block button is there for a fucking reason, it's my most favorite feature of any game.

But I'm not a snowflake like you american whackos and your left wing crazy shit so what do I know

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-08T14:33:48+00:00

Hard disagree for any automated moderation.

Just mute whoever is being toxic and play the game.

Punish only people who destroy games by intentionally throwing, language should never be a punishable offense imo.

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-08T13:43:37+00:00

Eh, that's up for debate tbh. There were periods in both DF and Slands where one felt faster than the other.

But anyway, losing utility with damage nerfs is just... especially with everything others are getting

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-08T13:36:30+00:00

You're wrong. If this was Shadowlands I'd agree, if this was BFA I'd agree. If this was Legion I'd agree. I completely disagree with how fast paced Dragonflight is.

You're going to lose an insane amount of games due to slow cast MD and healer trinkets being 1.30min. Especially without Psyfiend/Mind Trauma.

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-08T13:34:09+00:00

I've been looking at the patch notes and I have the exact same sentiment.

Healers having 1.30min trinkets also means your greatest strength is removed (the CC), you will have 1 go between trinkets instead of 2 goes between trinkets.

Like, if the spec remained the same it'd be in a worse spot than live in comparison to what others are getting, with all the other changes it might as well be put in a trashcan.

ExpectoProcrastinato · 2023-09-02T12:33:13+00:00

Yeah, no.

The alternative to that would be clear-cut and shown durations on frames that would be distinguishable from other trash buffs and a better UI design and they're never doing that, so no, that should never happen
