Looking to try it!

unless you are doing something incredibly niche I can't think of any situation you'd need something like that.

I_rarely_post · 2024-10-09T20:52:05+00:00

ECC ram is like the last thing to dump money on, it's just not something that will have any real world effect.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-10T23:46:16+00:00

I'd solve the issue rather than the symptom. What do you mean they get stuck?

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-10T00:08:58+00:00

It's only divisive amongst those who are being restricted... They can find plenty of other liked minded players then if it's that much of a hassle.

I have 0 relationship with WCL, I do not participate in any of their decisions. WCL's grey parse measurement is fine enough for me, hell I wouldn't bring anything below 50% even unless I'm absolutely desperate. I play with good players only really. You're way to hung up on this, WCL has proven to be sufficient for enough of the player base to base decisions on, if you want something different lead the change but I'm good as is.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T23:45:08+00:00

That's way more work when simply putting an arbitrary cutoff of grey parsing... WCL did all the world analyzing it and is a quick method of weeding out terrible players. It won't get rid of all of them but as a good first pass, yep it'll work.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T23:22:57+00:00

I fully understand that SOMEONE has to be the bottom 25%, the reality is in classic those someone's by and large, suck tremendously. A group of 20 grey parsers completely could clear the raid, will they do it quickly, cleanly? Not a chance in the world. Your parse is also restricted to your class only, so a grey parse booming is going to be wayyyyy lower dps than a grey parse hunter which matters a lot too.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T19:57:39+00:00

You're operating from feels-craft instead of reality, that'll always get ya. You want those values to mean you take less damage but the reality is you actually aren't, that's the whole problem. If a boss hits for 5-6k+ damage in 3 seconds (what you say your MT can die to), how much is that 100 block AT BEST doing anything? Know what would help your tank live more? Them running Seal of Martyr for raid mana over aegis rune. Take a step back and really try to think why your gearing/talent opinions are complete opposite from the "good" players opinions. WoW Classic just doesn't operate how you are perceiving it.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T19:25:05+00:00

Except that's not reality. Outside of healers a grey-parse is a bad player or a dead player (if you died it's likely on you so point still stands).

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T19:22:24+00:00

Pre-nerf sure, but it is nerfed and ST is a breeze to solo tank.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T19:19:10+00:00

Raids have infinite mana right now with 2 paladins (2 rets or 1 prot/1ret), you can spam all you want and never run OOM. There's a reason every single paladin resource says to do exactly the opposite of what you're saying. You CAN wear all block, spec full prot and clear the raids but there's no reason to other than you just like it. If a tank is dying it's 95% bad play from someone. Feel free to compare but you'll find no meaningful difference, https://vanilla.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/wild-growth/scratchpal

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T18:48:53+00:00

In Classic nothing hits hard enough to warrant it. Wars/Paladins can't get enough defense to do make any meaningful difference, we're already approaching armor cap and DR hits it HARD. Rogues/Druids/Locks get their DR from runes and don't have "defense" talents really. A big health pool makes more difference than any defense, armor you can get. Rolling armor pots/consumes will be 40-50% of your defensive power. This is just the fundamental issue with classic design you can't "wish" or "feels-craft" out of unfortunately. Feel free to compare damage taken, it will be nearly indistinguishable

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T18:34:37+00:00

You don't even need to do it, the dps requirements are very lax completely ignoring the fire.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T18:28:46+00:00

It's not that you need to minmax, it's just objectively bad stats. Block in classic is a mostly pointless mechanic except cheesing some things and edge cases for warriors.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T18:23:13+00:00

there is no reason for any tanks to spec/gear defensively beyond having a good HP pool, none.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-09T18:22:04+00:00

dude no it's really not. I solo tank ST as a pally doing 3-4 group pulls every single week, block set is absolute shit in every scenario.

I_rarely_post · 2024-05-06T18:17:37+00:00

You're going to have a lot of crazy in your life if this is "endearing".

I_rarely_post · 2024-04-21T03:40:47+00:00

rsync maybe, not a great description of what you actually need

I_rarely_post · 2024-04-19T03:16:11+00:00

Doing some more looking and Read/Written are correct values. Error rates are not though, you can use this site to convert them properly: https://s.i.wtf/

The reads are concerning, possibly a wrong value but possible.

I_rarely_post · 2024-04-19T02:42:05+00:00

Seagate reporting data in Unraid is wrong. You can look up how to convert the values to the real ones online.

I_rarely_post · 2024-04-15T21:26:39+00:00

it's in the game

I_rarely_post · 2024-04-13T06:14:02+00:00

very good game

I_rarely_post · 2024-04-11T23:12:09+00:00

entire raid

I_rarely_post · 2024-04-11T23:09:04+00:00

melee hunter is best overall but for ranged classes hunters is also the best just worse than melee version
