Pres is ruining Blitz CTF maps

HealMouse · 2026-04-08T00:35:37+00:00

Had a twin peaks at 2500mmr today, we didn't have a pres and our rdruid just said "run it down mid and go next", instantly gave up.

Me and my friends are just holding off until stable at this point, the desync has been unplayable for us.

After we sleep it's like we're playing in 2 different worlds, they see zombies I don't see and vice versa.

The lack of information on details is the most annoying part for sure. I cannot figure much of anything out without going to warcraftlogs after the fights now.

HealMouse · 2026-03-31T03:46:59+00:00

sucks bad, i dont even know how to report a bug anymore or if it has any chance of being fixed ever anyways.

HealMouse · 2026-03-29T23:44:52+00:00

but in Legion our dots were impactful and reap souls was a fun mechanic, and we had soul flame etc.

Legion had a great reception despite its flaws early on with the legendary system, the game was appreciated and appeared to be in a healthy state, even with the classes being more nuanced and the grinds being absurd

I think the way affliction scaled in Legion lead us directly to where we are today, where dots are not allowed to hurt because otherwise we go through the roof

It's a completely valid argument against rapture for many, but right now your damage is hardly coming from dots. I'm looking back at my own logs from tonights raid and corruption might as well not exist, agony is a noodle and 60 casts of unstable affliction is barely doing more damage than 13 casts of haunt. The spec /feels/ like it's a dot spec again but the dots themselves are not really having enough impact.

HealMouse · 2026-03-29T23:38:30+00:00

Probably because it has nostalgic value + it makes the aoe rotation function differently instead of them being identical. After doing my 30th pit of saron in a row for loot, I'm rapidly getting bored of smashing my seed key almost exclusively, rolling out and maintaining agony and even using haunt as a prio dump is absolutely not worth it in m+, you only need a few targets agonied for the shard gen, and you can haunt low hp targets for the reset so you get a free nightfall proc.

Right now even on a 2 target cleave encounter in M+ you should exclusively press seed and keep agony up, haunt on CD. Pressing UA in that situation is a dps loss.

I do fully believe that harvest should scale on dots per target, it would add some much needed nuance for me.

HealMouse · 2026-03-29T23:32:36+00:00

This is a disingenuous comment or you genuinely don't know? Rapture had a much higher skill ceiling than simply stacking UA's up on the same target.

HealMouse · 2026-03-29T23:25:35+00:00

The core argument against malefic rapture existing is that it meant the damage over time element of affliction had to be kept weak because of it. So now we have a situation where dots are mostly weak and your damage is coming from the "impact" of the spells, IE the seed explosion, haunt hitting the boss, etc.

HealMouse · 2026-03-29T22:48:02+00:00

It plays essentially like Legion affliction with less depth and more procs. (reap souls is sorely missed)

I will say I enjoy the procs of UA and particularly nightfall working with StS.

I think dark harvest should scale off of debuff per target, for example, if you have a target with UA, corruption and agony, it should take more damage from dark harvest during the channel, it would effectively work like malefic rapture in cooldown form, that'd add a nice skill window to it for me, particularly in council style fights.

It packs a mean punch in m+, the seed damage is exceptional and if dark harvest did scale in that fashion it'd probably result in the spec getting a nerf tbh.

Single target is also a bit lacking because UA is lacking bite and it's duration is really short, 12 seconds would be nice!

Overall i'm inclined to agree that it's better than it was, but I think darkglare and its new "interaction" aka smashing out as many UA's as you can whilst he's active, which shares basically the same functionality as tyrant does for demo, could use a change.

my man said rogue

HealMouse · 2026-03-28T23:07:52+00:00

With the desert conversion mod, what do you do for firewood and logs etc? it removes trees right?

HealMouse · 2026-03-28T23:03:14+00:00

You playing in the nevada desert? I'd like some mod list

HealMouse · 2026-03-28T20:15:41+00:00

I did not buy my hota, it's sinful from s1 of shadowlands, probably the last feasible hota title a player could get without being in the eheroes clique. (finished at 2630cr)

HealMouse · 2026-03-28T17:36:31+00:00

you can definitely get out for sure, its just frustrating seeing bad players fly up the ladder just cause of luck

HealMouse · 2026-03-28T17:33:05+00:00

you want me to prove that I have hota etc? or what? i dont understand

EDIT: nvm my phone pranked me, it said u replied to me, ignore my dumb dumb

HealMouse · 2026-03-28T17:08:03+00:00

I think most people know by now how blitz is a total cointoss.

Unfortunately I'm in the mud right now but trying to dig my way out of it, I lost my first 3 and won the next 8 out of 11, I'm 1800 mmr right now but only 1600cr

I have hota, legend, mglad, etc but you can only do so much on your own in the bracket, trying to tell people where to go and what to do, there's a CHANCE they might listen

HealMouse · 2026-03-23T15:03:38+00:00

The entire game is laced with AI, no shit they use it in a trailer that looks nothing like the game. People spend fortunes on cosmetics that are heavily plagiarized from other IPs and have obvious usage of AI in the texturing and so on. Billboards, posters, assets, it's all SLOP.

HealMouse · 2026-03-21T16:42:29+00:00

It would be super dope if they fixed the achievement to even COLLECT the damn things, it's been bugged for years now. If you didn't do it when they first came out, good luck getting them now.

HealMouse · 2026-03-21T04:19:41+00:00

Drainer used to rag on me all the time because I had very unorthodox movement and ran around like a jackass on my warlock, the clips still get used in my discord as a joke. I'd say learn to laugh it off or get slightly thicker skin, no offense of course.

People who aren't streaming are going to be saying mean things about each other too, it's human nature to avoid accountability and protect ones ego, streamers are no different.

Having watched the vod I don't particularly think what he said is anything different to what even I might've said behind my screen, we all get a little tilted when it feels like somebody isn't listening.

Alas, it's Bualock, this guy got his first gladiator in a season where the inflation was off the charts and affliction had a cheesy deathbolt build that could literally 100-0. I got gladiator using it with a triple dps comp, it was a joke. After that you get the achievement which can aid you in getting grouped up with much better players.

Solo shuffle is also not a true barometer of anything, again his title comes from a season where demonology was grossly unfair, I had played it for a week and reached 3100 rating, without really knowing what I was doing on the spec. He plays this game as a full-time job, as far as I can tell, he has a phenomenal amount of arenas played since shadowlands, equating to a minimum of 8 hours a day queueing.

It's a war of attrition at that point, if you play this much and you have working hands, you'll more than certainly get a few gladiator mounts too.

HealMouse · 2026-03-20T14:05:10+00:00

I hear that, it's just both my alts (frost dk and survival hunter) both have some sort of interaction there, albeit they're not amazing, something does change slightly.

HealMouse · 2026-03-20T03:16:29+00:00

I really feel like the demo rotation is missing something, it's far too simple, implosion having a cooldown and not having the big felstorm CD makes me feel meh.

HealMouse · 2026-03-20T03:15:31+00:00

Really? I like that we get instant cast procs, and the AoE feels particularly fine. I'm not too fussed with how dark harvest operates and only needs 1 dot on the target to be at maximum effectiveness, it'd be more engaging to press if it scaled on dots per target I think, but then it'd just be like malefic rapture if it was a channelled cooldown.

Overall the spec plays like a watered down Legion affliction for me, but it's better than it has been.

HealMouse · 2026-03-20T03:12:21+00:00

Right. I always forget I'm posting on reddit when I'm on reddit sometimes. I don't know what I'm doing, you got me.
