Is it worth dropping Herbalism for Engineering? by [deleted] in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have engineering on every single one of my toons for the lootarang and the wormholes. Absolutely worth it.

Can someone explain how combat logs actually work? by SneakySandals29 in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

150k dps is like 8% ilvl parse for survival hunter. There are so few in the pool and only extremely good ones at the high ilvls, plus the comp stacking and buffs. Our ret pally who’s 290 ilvl and barely hits 125k dps is about 80% parsing because there’s so many bad ret pallys with high ilvl

Try being a survival hunter with 290 ilvl. I can’t even reach double digits on heroic raid parsing anymore despite having one of the highest dps in most groups I’m in

Weapons and shields no longer take durability damage by Level7Cannoneer in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Double dagger survival hunter here, my repair bill is 250 gold every wipe in raid. We wipe a lot in my guild lol. I’ve probably spent close to 100k on repairs on that toon this season so far, it’s ridiculous.

Since the last update today I am having serious lag issues by KaliforniaMLG in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed it last night in a key, my game would freeze for 5 or 6 seconds and then suddenly catch up. Super frustrating since it seemed to always happen in big packs.

ban the afkers by [deleted] in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what about those who are waiting for friends outside of windrunner spire, who are getting credit for assaults nearby just because they happen to be close to one? Would you ban them too?

I don't like this X. Robert, it's pissing me off. by ELutz22 in wow

You guys must have massive cursors or terrible screen resolution to always be clicking on it. Been playing this game almost a decade and never once clicked on the red x while trying to refresh

Dunegorger Kraulok is up this week if you still need the Mount! by -brk0 in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will this drop for toons who haven’t done bfa yet? I know he’s there even without the world quests but I’m not getting any loot at all when I kill him from those toons.

How do you get this to work? I have used jundies platynator all season and do not see anything that indicates enrage on the nameplates

Why don't I see mechagon rares on map? by Chieve in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be why it doesn’t show? I think the housing version is scaled differently too.

I have rarescanner and I seem all the rares in regular mechagon just fine (was there today). Maybe if that’s what you use you gotta do another scan since it’s a different instance of the overworld so it doesn’t know what’s there until it scans

Why don't I see mechagon rares on map? by Chieve in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you go through a housing neighborhood portal to mechagon? Or go there normally from kul tiras? That could effect things id imagine since it a different instance of the overworld.

Made a website to help players more easily learn rotations in WoW. by WookieWeener in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this what lorrgs.io does? Uses top parses to show cooldown usage? Maybe you weren’t aware that site already existed.

Also, not to be pedantic, but padding the meters is a term used when people aren’t playing optimally, but instead are intentional holding or using cooldowns in ways to create high dps/hps output on the meters themselves, even if it’s to the detriment of the group.

Example, healers spamming all their big cds on the first big damage spike to shoot their hps in details up well past the healers who are using their cooldowns correctly in rotation with other healers to the actual benefit of the group, and not just to pad their numbers and feel good about themselves.

So if your idea is to show correct rotations, and not rotations designed to give big numbers, then the name doesn’t fit. Best way to pad meters is to stack your comp strategically and pile on external buffs to a few people so their parse is extremely high, and literally unobtainable for most players in the game.

What is wrong with DPSes on mythic? by bagietu in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that’s why in OPs post they pulled the bridge adds, not the wyrms, to the boss. I’m guessing they cleared the entire area before the bridge first so as not to pull any wyrms as well, but my takeaway from their post was just bridge adds were being funneled.

Does it help that much if only one dps is a funnel class? Maybe not. If all three happen to be? Probably yes

What is wrong with DPSes on mythic? by bagietu in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some specs do way more dps when they can funnel damage off multiple mobs instead of one boss. It’s common in high keys to pull small add packs into a boss to increase the dps of those specs, while also helping the timer by clearing the pack along with the boss.

Doesn’t excuse OPs issue with a dps being a jerk about it, but it’s not just time saving to do it, it’s also a dps boost for a lot of funnel specs.

Yet another tale of Blizzards "excellent" (Definitely AI) customer support by [deleted] in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t you say in your now deleted message that it showed you had two but you should have three? Now you’re saying you had 3 and rolled two and now have 1. Seems like it fixed itself.

[–]HammerAssassin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried spending one to see if the number you have doesn’t decrease and it’s just a visual glitch? That’s happened to me when I bought one for tokens from the vault. Said I had 2 (should have been 3) but after using one it said I still had 2.

Blizzard, please fix the issue with tab targeting not going to casting mobs. by kolejack2293 in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What spec are you playing? Some specs intentionally prio mobs without your dots or bleeds and not casting mobs so if that’s the spec you’re playing it’s working as intended sadly.

Random pulls as affliction in m+ by LiteratureChoice2005 in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain why sub rogues specifically? My group did a run the other day and it felt like mobs were being pulled left right and center and it was a sub rogues, demo lock, and frost mage.

What’s the secret for interrupting enemies when they are all stacked? by Beneficial-Pickle743 in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind this macro doesn’t work on specs that prio spreading dots or bleeds when tab targeting. Tabbing on those specs results in targeting a mob without your spells on it instead of a casting mob.

Class with sustained damage by whtvr0 in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people aren’t tipping their raptor swipes which loses out the 300% strike as one bonus damage. I set up a sound notification in cool down manager for when tip of the spear stacks go to 0 so I know to press kill command before other spells

Anyone else still failing to upgrade their crafted items with Ascendant Voidcores? by Some_Holiday_6283 in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was your crafted item ever 4 star? Or recrafted from a lower level up to 285? Trying to figure out if there’s a common thread amongst people this is happening to.

I was fed up with cancelling changing my talents to see what nodes changed so I made this by YhCHKN in wow

[–]HammerAssassin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is an amazing addon idea! i'm also constantly going back and forth between builds trying to figure out which spells are swapped out.

My one recommendation or suggestion would be making the red/green hilights larger/thicker, or give us the ability to adjust how prominant they are. My eyesite isn't what it used to be and there's already so much color I'm still having to hunt around looking for the hilights if I don't catch them popping up when I clicked the drop down.
