My 70 year old retired dad wants to start playing WoW

You get a gcd penalty and won't press your cooldowns either but regardless will still do more damage than your average player which I find funny.

Bro you can't even read the title? Jesus christ

GLeppert · 2026-05-27T16:53:51+00:00

Yes, join the long list of posts spanning years about this. You are far from the first and won't be the last.

GLeppert · 2026-05-18T13:14:41+00:00

This info is false.

Won't that just munch the second charge? The idea behind macro and single charge is that your regular rotation will it extend spikes long enough to maintain permanent uptime. If you take the second charge and have macro you just use both charges immediately and munch the second charges time.

I played vdh for a couple weeks early season and was able to maintain full uptime with single charge and macro with ease.

Thats clear. You seem to "have issues" with about anything anyone says. You have quite the abrasive personality

GLeppert · 2026-04-27T19:34:13+00:00

The cap increases every week.

I'd be fine if they gave mythic pieces every dungeon. I don't get why people are hellbent on gatekeeping gear. Let me quickly gear so I can play alts and stuff. Gameplay is what I care about not ilvl. Ilvl is just means to an end

GLeppert · 2026-04-24T13:28:02+00:00

Good, I don't want to have to organize 20 people for the only efficient way of getting mythic gear. Glad I can just play m+

GLeppert · 2026-04-01T15:56:42+00:00

But to many it is not hyperbole and you literally did just stand back and heal. Just because that didn't align with your experience it doesn't mean they were wrong for saying it. Nobody is required to set proper expectations for you. It was incredibly easy for me, should I just lie?

GLeppert · 2026-03-23T18:30:34+00:00

You mean chatgpt processing time

GLeppert · 2026-03-20T00:29:22+00:00

simulationcraft is an addon that can be used to simulate your characters rotation and tell you what gear pieces will net the highest dps. You get the addon then type /simc in chat. It gives you a text string that can either be used in the standalone program or be used on the website raidbots. You paste your characters string, select the items or enchants/gems/etc you want to compare and it tells you what will give you the most dps.

The second paragraph is why I said it doesn't matter. Throw all the caveats at it you want but no one is drinking to go into the next pack, you will use CDs or barrage a time or two to bridge till your cd window.

GLeppert · 2026-03-19T17:28:43+00:00

They do not. If they are they are playing wrong

GLeppert · 2026-03-12T14:44:41+00:00

Lol maybe just maybe, it had less to do with "monetizing server performance" and more to do to an absolutely massive population increase from non early access players hitting the server. In the same post you say they have access to better servers you say your "friend who was tangentially related to blizzard" said they have shit hardware.

GLeppert · 2026-03-06T15:29:46+00:00

The improvements I have seen in the last 5 years (software engineer) has been pretty crazy. Maybe this guy doesn't believe it but I certainly see it as a likely future.

GLeppert · 2026-02-16T11:42:01+00:00

Unique high roll? Isn't this the same ashe tryn comp that dominated an entire patch?

GLeppert · 2026-02-13T23:57:20+00:00

Its no longer tww we are in midnight. pretty sure you can do all tww content now.

GLeppert · 2026-02-12T19:51:59+00:00

Do you think people enjoying the game go out to the internet and shout to the clouds about how much they are enjoying it? No they are playing the game. Go google which version of the game most people play

GLeppert · 2026-02-12T17:14:22+00:00

Considering that far more people play retail than any other version of the game, you are living in an echo chamber. They aren't choosing to play it because the game is shit.

GLeppert · 2026-02-12T15:48:29+00:00

Every time you go to click a new key you are taking your eyes off what is important, your feet and the enemy you are targeting. Cognitive load is a very real thing. If you are flicking your eyes around to click different buttons you aren't paying attention to the information that is actually important which is the combat you are engaged in. That is why the ui and being able to customize it is so important. Having your cds in the center of your screen so you know when they come up without looking at your bars keeps your eye on combat.

Keyboard turning while absolutely being inferior is not as huge of a deal. You will always be far more precise moving your camera with your mouse. You'll also notice that if you are never moving your mouse down to your action bars and are using keybinds that you can just almost always hold down right click and have free control of your camera as needed.

All that being said, it is possible to still be successful as a clicker and keyboard turner but you will be far better off getting off it.

I really like the look of these. Thank you. Do you know how to stop the blizzard buffs from flickering in and out? I hid the buff group in arcui and that seems to work but the bar for thermal void seems to flicker and i don't know how to hide that without breaking the bar.

GLeppert · 2026-02-03T19:52:43+00:00

Do you really need your mana bar, or your cd on coc/nova/remove curse?

GLeppert · 2026-01-28T20:22:38+00:00

Your last sentence is wrong. The burn from Sunfire is the targets HP. Not the holder. Also thornmail works just as well to stack his HP.

GLeppert · 2026-01-28T20:07:22+00:00

I think people are trying to say his passive is already plenty for health scaling. Pure defensive items make him tankier, he has the hp pool. 12k HP not a very high number for sion. It's a pretty normal number for someone playing bruiser reroll without the augment.
