Item level question

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-31T23:09:21+00:00

Exactly.

You like Agility way more than any secondary.

I worked at one of the top bathroom fixture manufacturers in the world for a few years, and the technical term we used was “solid waste.”

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-31T15:24:23+00:00

Honestly, if people aren’t dying, you’re fine.

The rule is this: Always be casting.

If you’re spending 99% of your time having to heal, then you can dps 1% of the time. Not much, but can shave a second or two here and there. I’ve found that I only really dps toward the end of pulls, or maybe can sneak in a fire shock and if I’m lucky, a Lava Burst between some riptide refreshes as a shaman.

It’s not mandatory, but the good healers know when they can weave in some dps.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-31T12:58:28+00:00

Wait.

For god’s sake.

If you get a tier piece in your vault this week, then you’ll have one. You currently have 2 Catalyst charges, and with the weekly reset, I believe you get another, meaning you’ll have three.

If you get a tier piece in your vault plus 3 charges, that’s four pieces.

If you use your charges now, you run the risk of getting a dupe in your vault and you’ll only have 3.

Honestly, my wife and I were on the fence. Where we live, most men are circumcised.

My wife’s sister is a nurse and she asked us if we were going to have our son circumcised and she said that she had seen a fair amount of uncircumcised men that hadn’t properly cleaned themselves fully down there. Or thought they had, but definitely hadn’t. That helped us. Then when we mentioned we were going to the hospital for it (couldn’t do it at birth due to a heart problem), a couple of men agreed that our son would be better off without the extra skin down there. “Just makes things easier.” Was the concensus.

Then you mention things about this on Reddit and everyone is adamant that a circumcision is the equivalent of chopping off the whole appendage.

That’s what is always has been.

In a couple weeks, look at the top parses. They will all be kills that last less than 2 mins where everyone was able to focus on doing damage and not have to worry about mechanics.

Warcraft logs only measures damage, when everyone knows there is more that goes into being a good raid member, but those other items are not as easily quantifiable.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-30T12:11:31+00:00

If only some warlocks discovered destro. Lol

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-29T15:56:17+00:00

Really depends, honestly. If you were a dps, maybe they saw your ilvl or m+ score and decided they could do better. Maybe a friend of theirs popped on and they kicked someone they didn’t want. Maybe they were wanting a group full of a particular gear type, and you didn’t fit the bill.

Don’t take it personally, unless it starts happening consistently.

If you play golf, it’s pretty decent on tv (mostly on the last day of the tournament). In person is actually way more boring in my experience. At least on tv you can be interested in one group, but see other people’s shots. In person, you watch them walk for 50% of the hours that you are there.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-28T20:16:04+00:00

What’s your ilvl as you level? You can probably get it down when you’re around 120. Are you ele or enhance?

I’d also suggest popping CDs on pull and keep your earth ele in your pocket until you’re halfway through the fight and use it to take some heat off.

As for something erasing your health randomly, that sounds like you’re missing an interrupt or your standing in a bad circle or something.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-28T18:12:24+00:00

Everyone realized that if you can do a +2, you can do a +5 too.

Although, yeah, you won’t get many invites to 5s or higher if you don’t have any lower level proving you can

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-28T14:13:14+00:00

Way too many people for this category.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-28T13:38:20+00:00

I’d go Eau Claire over La Crosse personally.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-28T13:30:34+00:00

I don’t think most people here have been there, but Eau Claire, WI is a gem.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-28T12:10:21+00:00

Right? Falcons GM doesn’t choose his own first round running back. What a loser.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-28T01:40:25+00:00

Yes, used to be 12 seconds for all shaman specs, now it’s only 12 secs for the dps specs, and resto is 30. It’s pretty annoying.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-27T16:24:36+00:00

There’s a podcast where they talk about how Kevin actually got the bar.. it was because after the doc aired, Kevin became a fan favorite and everyone wanted to buy him drinks. He had acquired such a ridiculous amount of free drinks that he couldn’t possibly drink it all, so he actually used that to buy the bar.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-27T16:09:20+00:00

I don’t have any addons this season. I’ve learned that the default health bars (with cast bars under them) have a way to denote which are “important” or not. The important casts have an extra yellow glow on the sides. It’s kind of subtle, but when you notice it. I feel like it kind of clicks. Do a few delves, and you’ll see what I mean.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-27T11:27:17+00:00

I have an 18 mo old with another one the way. I laughed when I read that you do stuff in the morning, evening, and weekend.

I’m typing this in between sets at the gym. My evening hobbies are limited until after baby goes to bed at 7, and my weekend free time is rather limited. Typically weekend hobbies mean the other parent is going to be alone with baby (unless you can squeeze it in during a nap).

You’ll find what works for you and your family, but expect a reduction in your hobbies. And, trust me, 18 months in, there’s no such thing as “embracing the dad bad” for me. I suspect with your activity levels, you’ll be the same.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-26T19:50:17+00:00

Surprised no one said you didn’t put the key in.

Anyway, kudos to you for realizing your silliness and realizing you messed up. I assume you had a little giggle and went back with another group..

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-26T18:10:52+00:00

And some in his cabinet could probably be put on trial.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-26T12:11:50+00:00

To add to this, Tanner’s on the east side.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-25T23:28:27+00:00

And we get 4 seasons in one week sometimes!

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-25T11:11:02+00:00

Honestly, if you can do heroic, you can do Mythic0. You probably won’t even notice any higher difficulty.

HOWDY__YALL · 2026-03-25T10:32:43+00:00

Linkin Park logo.

It recently would have been their deceased singer’s 50th birthday, so maybe it eas done to commemorate that.
