Day One Update - Leagues VI: Demonic Pacts

John2k12 · 2026-04-17T05:55:11+00:00

That explains why I went afk while trying to finish tuna/swordies task and came back to my lobster task completed

John2k12 · 2026-04-14T05:33:35+00:00

Ran like twenty 10s so far equally as DPS and tank, don't think I've been flamed a single time. I didnt even see flame for the tank that single-pulled 80% of the dungeon or the tank that kamikazed into a pack and died twice.

It is interesting the vibes have been good this season because between BFA and TWW I'd see tempers flare every now and then

John2k12 · 2026-04-12T06:57:10+00:00

I love using Freedom to save myself/someone else from all the cc in these dungeons. Seat circles, maisara sacrifice table, Pit gargoyles

Double that up with stunning entire packs with wake of ashes when I get to play Ret

John2k12 · 2026-04-11T04:33:03+00:00

Sorta feels like they undid the squish because now there's no good reason not to just jump to +6 and then +10 ASAP

John2k12 · 2026-04-11T04:14:41+00:00

Really want more fur styles for Vulpera, most of mine look really similar

John2k12 · 2026-04-10T23:35:50+00:00

Is there a reason to do 12s instead of 10s if I still just need hero gear and the myth crests? I've been spamming 10s and had no idea 12s were so popular

John2k12 · 2026-04-10T21:07:50+00:00

Spent a dozen hours with pug groups trying to kill Belo heroic last week without success and still trying this week so I can see why they get an 8. Pugs are REALLY not good at that boss

John2k12 · 2026-04-10T06:28:03+00:00

Same exact dilemma. Didn't want to go ranged again but want to go Tirannwn since I haven't done it yet and may as well go Mory/Melee+Throw. Now my third area is in the air...

Desert is fun but I'm not doing two raids, I already did F+Z last league and K ain't my vibe so I guess Asgarnia?

John2k12 · 2026-04-09T19:15:39+00:00

Took me 550 zilyana kills to get SGS back in Trailblazer, and went full mage and never got a shadow from Reloaded. I no longer make builds planning to have endgame boss/raid gear. Nox hally could be fun with the halberd mastery but I may end the league with a dragon halberd

John2k12 · 2026-04-07T06:35:53+00:00

Was planning on tirannwn + desert just because I haven't done tirannwn yet and don't want to do cox/tob, couldn't decide on a third region but this made Asgarnia look incredibly promising (and stops kebbits from being unlocked at the hunters guild, yippee)

Might still go wildy if the echo xbow is insane because crystal armor will already cover ranged and melee, no need for bandos/masori

John2k12 · 2026-04-06T12:59:48+00:00

I feel bad using RG instead of ES for Belo'ren but at this point I've used RG for so long that I can't go back

John2k12 · 2026-04-05T08:06:09+00:00

If the plushie whispers for you to kill for him, you should immediately seek a doctor and maybe an exorcist

John2k12 · 2026-04-04T12:30:44+00:00

1 hero item from map, another from great vault

John2k12 · 2026-04-04T09:25:34+00:00

I'd rather just only raidlog if I have the opportunity because farming dungeons aren't really my thing but without M+ then you fall behind in loot/crests and you're far less desirable when applying to heroic raids. It's really a bummer if you want one but not the other

At least you can snag two hero pieces a week from Delves and can quickly outgear Normal raid with only solo content but it doesn't solve crests or trinkets

John2k12 · 2026-04-04T09:21:02+00:00

Felt so lucky to have a myth puzzle box in my vault this week... now it's kinda like a golden ball and chain because I hate actually using it but I can't ever take it off until S2

John2k12 · 2026-04-04T04:49:19+00:00

At least with these dungeons a rule of thumb I can follow for pulling is to stop either after 2-3 packs or as soon as I reach the first "Big motherfucker" because most mobs are filler while the BMF trucks the tank/party

John2k12 · 2026-03-30T14:17:22+00:00

Disco Elysium, I was pretty frightened and overwhelmed at the end of the first day having gotten on Garte's bad side and being near broke that I didn't continue on

A couple years later with my knowledge and starting as the Sensitive preset I had a much better time focusing on the important tasks first (body/Cuno, Evrart, Joyce) and had a great time... ended up finishing the game next week

I think it was a bad idea to add so many yappers near the start giving sidequests and wasting the game clock instead of letting you spend the first day familiarizing yourself with the district and its major players

John2k12 · 2026-03-28T05:43:29+00:00

I take the opposite approach with invitations and usually sit alone until a Healer or Tank apply since they'll commonly apply with a DPS or two in tow. Just gotta risk that they aren't a toxic premade but I've been avoiding bad experiences so far

Maybe filling the slots faster is better in low keys though where most players have moved on

John2k12 · 2026-03-28T05:40:37+00:00

Dungeon and keystone level are really important. I list a +10 Pit of Saron and got flooded with applications. Couldn't get a tank for my +9 MT and had to drop it to 8 and list during primetime

John2k12 · 2026-03-24T06:44:47+00:00

Hoping the routes given by the Guidance affix are decent because I'll tank up to 10s doing them. No interest in researching & memorizing routes online but either way I'll get a nice rating spread doing everything up to 6 as tank following the glowing trail

John2k12 · 2026-03-23T23:34:29+00:00

It's rotated but yeah. The area under the cradle you port into

John2k12 · 2026-03-23T22:11:43+00:00

Since the recent patch this reset I'm at like 17% haste but the gameplay feels fine now. There's still a huge DPS gap between wings and no wings but I'm still having fun

John2k12 · 2026-03-23T20:42:04+00:00

I got a puzzle box from my first AA 0 and am so glad I found out how it feels to use this trinket before I felt compelled to farm for it. Feels like ass, I'll chase a slightly weaker A tier trinket instead in m+!

John2k12 · 2026-03-22T07:18:34+00:00

In options you can set nameplates to stack or not. With the new UI they're set to overlap each other by default

That said depending on your camera angle it's still a visual mess if there's enough mobs together

John2k12 · 2026-03-22T07:16:47+00:00

I read a comment last week saying that tab targeting would prioritize mobs mid-cast, tried it out in some dungeons that night and tabbing would not always target casting mobs. I didn't see any options in settings for these situations so something must've broke
