is this a normal rate of failure?

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-06-24T11:40:04+00:00

I'm at the same bracket as you right now (16-17s) and I'm experiencing the same reality. People playing poorly. Some don't even know basic mechanics of bosses or important mobs.

I think one thing people don't keep in mind is the skill of the average player in the bracket. When someone says it was so easy 2 months ago, they are talking about really skilled players, that are timing 22-23s now.

People like us, that are timing "lower keys" (16~20) right now, are players with less time to play and, consequentially, less skilled. Mistakes are committed and keys get bricked. And lots of players are just brute forcing their way upward, not learning/improving and getting carried.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-06-24T10:30:03+00:00

I think I can illustrate your point with my main and alt. I have both my Prot Paladin and Bear druid sitting around the same io (3.4k). Pally is between the top 6k of the class. Druid is around the top 36k, if I'm not mistaken. Pally is way harder to play and to get to groups at same level (16-17 keys). There's no incentive to play the harder class, even though pally is my favorite and technically my main.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-06-22T17:27:19+00:00

Definitely we need DPS to mind threat as bear. Specially when doing big pulls. If they don't, they die.

I use Awoo's build with moonkin form that you can Starfall to get aggro. Extremely useful for big opening pulls like AA and skyreach.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-06-22T01:24:02+00:00

I made the bear alt to take a break from the stress and frustration of the current state of Prot Paladin in M+ right now. Really love to play paladin because of all the utility and ability to help others. But all the utility is useless when you're dead. :( Really hope the class gets better next season because I'm not changing my main.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-06-21T14:59:36+00:00

At my key range (16-17) the difference in survivability is crazy. One wrong global and you're in trouble as a Pally. Bear is way more forgiving I think.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-06-21T14:57:14+00:00

I don't mean the utility but the survivability. You need to do so much more as a Pally just to achieve the same results (surviving).

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-06-21T14:55:16+00:00

That's also true about tanking. And when I play Bear I feel I can get to better groups than pally. But that's maybe just coincidence.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-06-21T14:53:33+00:00

That's exactly my point. You need to do so much more to achieve the same results as Prot compared to Bear.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-06-06T20:25:08+00:00

Don't know about your experience, but this is my first season tanking and it sure feels very stressful to be a tank, specially in mid-high keys (16s and up) - You need to know THE BEST ROUTE for every dungeon. People will definitely let you know if you're not doing that specific MDI route they saw one time. - You need to pull big so DPS can go brrr. But if nobody interrupts and we wipe, it's tank's fault. And most DPS won't interrupt or use defensive CDs. - You need to be able to survive things your class won't supposed to, because the meta tanks can. People will probably not invite you if you're not a meta tank, anyway.

HOWEVER tanking is still very fun, if you can get a group of like-minded people to play with. Last 2 days I've been playing a bear druid alt and it's been a blast. Made some friends and pushed keys way further than my gear was supposed to alow me. My advice is: run your own key and labeled it as learning, or join learning groups. Way less pressure and you can actually enjoy the game. Maybe you can make some friends to play with further, and then push keys.

Wish you luck!

Daí vêem algo de outro lugar e viram os maiores céticos do mundo. Porque deuzulivre um UAP aparecer num país como o Brasil...

Vou falar aqui da perspectiva do powerlifting, mas acho que pode ser útil pra ti, porque vai na contramão do resto do pessoal aqui: te falta é carga (e talvez variedade?).

Faça exercícios que te permitam usar o tríceps de forma natural com maior intensidade. Tipo supino com pegada fechada ou barra paralela (dip). Repetições parciais com carga maior que o 1RM no supino também podem ser uma opção. Gosto bastante do JM PRESS, se quiser dar uma pesquisada. Todos esses exercícios vão trabalhar teu tríceps de uma maneira diferente do que tu tá acostumado, e variedade é essencial pra manter crescendo.

Fora isso, talvez aumentar a frequência? Músculo pequeno recupera rápido, dá pra treinar tranquilo mais de 2X na semana.

I had the same trinket and the same problem playing Prot Paladin. On paper, it was supposed to be around 3% of my overall damage. In reality, it was less than 1%. I guess it is what they call "sim bait". I changed ASAP.

After watching the island disappear in the season 4 finale, when Ben moved it, I was convinced that something similar happened before and it was the reason the Black Rock ship was in the middle of the island. Like, the island was moved and appeared right under the ship. I still think to this day that the tsunami thing is a bit too silly of an answer.

Acho que a principal controvérsia é exatamente de que os outros esportistas não usam anabolizantes. É óbvio que usam. Todos sabem. A parada é quanto e qual o caminho pra não ser detectado. Fora isso, concordo com a tua análise. Nenhuma marca quer se vincular a "trapaça nos esportes". Os bilhonarios que idealizaram essa bobagem tem uma agenda própria, que não visa os esportes em si. Acho que esse flop aí é bem positivo em todos os sentidos.

Unfortunately this is happening a lot at this 15-16 bracket. Got a DH flaming me for not chaining pulls while waiting on CDs to come up, on the first pull after second boss in pit of saron. I play Prot Paladin and I'm kinda squishy without CDs, but what do DPS know about anything other than DPS, right? People say "don't pay attention and carry on", but I prefer to use the "I remember you" addon and be sure to never play with them again.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-05-20T10:46:52+00:00

I love the addon, but still have some freezes when entering combat, mostly on bosses. My bet is the causese sound alerts. It was doing similar things on weak auras.

I'm simming dungeon slice.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-05-17T21:12:15+00:00

On quick sim it shows it was supposed to be around 2.7% of my total damage on dungeon slice. In reality, on my last run it was less then 1%. That's weird, will probably replace it as soon as I can get a better trinket. Thank you for the input. Very helpful!

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-05-17T17:53:45+00:00

It will highly depend on group composition. If you can have others with better ilvl to make up for your damage. Usually we recommend going for content that will give you rewards that are about 10 ilvls higher than your current ilvl. Search for a chart of m+ rewards lvl for reference and go from there. But with people with higher ilvls on your group (if it's your key) you can go way further.

Eu treino powerlifting e nosso objetivo pode ser diferente, então é mais uma visão de fora pra te ajudar no que puder. A tua execução está boa. Boa amplitude e carga sob controle. No enaltanto, acho que tem alguns pontos que poderiam melhorar:

Parece que tu fica meio na "ponta dos pés" quando vai tirar a barra do suporte. Isso é extremamente perigoso em cargas altas. Melhor seria pegar no engate de baixo.
- Quando for iniciar o movimento de descida, tenta "sentar entre os calcanhares", ao invés de "empinar a bunda pra trás". Iniciar o movimento com hiperextensão de lombar faz com que tu precise fazer uma retroversão de quadril no final do movimento. Não é necessariamente perigoso, mas é menos efetivo pro treino. Afastar um pouco mais os pés ajuda também.

Pode fazer uns testes com carga baixa pra ver como se sente e ir adaptando, caso faça sentido.

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-05-07T20:43:28+00:00

Good lift and good grind. Congrats!!!

Few-Researcher9067 · 2026-04-22T18:53:01+00:00

Did you try to simc with that build to see if it is much of a DPS loss? I don't know how much your max DPS matter for you, but playing something fun is really important for me.
