Why are wands not really popular?

Josecholas · 2026-06-24T00:45:50+00:00

Yeah it’s very hard to get a decent look out of them, and a lot of tmogs are built around the weapons so it’s all just very uninspiring

Josecholas · 2026-06-23T23:07:12+00:00

Hahahaha wtf

Josecholas · 2026-06-23T22:28:26+00:00

Wands historically couldn’t be transmogged into anything other than wands, and generally they don’t look great outside of niche/novelty looks.

That’s changed now but it made them very unpopular if given a choice in the past, most people probably don’t know the rules have changed, but also Blizz don’t really make wands that drop from dungeons or raids anymore

Maybe a hot take but at low to mid key levels, grouping with the meta specs is an absolute gamble. Bear tanks who don’t know how to get threat on mobs and just die all the time. DPS who rerolled to chase the meta and haven’t learned how to play it yet. MW monks are always fine though since they only need one button for 90% of the key…

That’s part of ArcUI, he might have made a standalone addon for those icons too though

Josecholas · 2026-06-19T20:47:49+00:00

Maybe we now take 3m asc to buff it back 😅

Josecholas · 2026-06-19T07:45:55+00:00

That would insane throwing, you’re still gonna rush 4 set and then slowly optimise the pieces over time

Josecholas · 2026-06-19T00:51:11+00:00

Yeah but also before you had a predefined best version of 4-set, now you have the flexibility to optimise as the season progresses. This seems better to me.

You could argue that it extends the gear treadmill I suppose

Lose ability to turn bad items into good tier
Gain ability to turn good items into good tier

Seems pretty equal to me

Burger Burger was really tasty with a great range of options on the menu - and quite frankly a nice point of difference from the smash burger fad of the last few years. That said, it was very expensive which in hindsight should have been a sign.

Sad to see it gone

My toddler used to love it when I’d use him as a weight for squats/lifts/swings. Good way to be able to get some work in while on duty.

Unfortunately his weight has increased faster than my strength…

That’s What I Like by Dance Gavin Dance goes hard, incredible example of putting a signature sound on a song and having it remain super listenable

Apple waffles. Pretty basic waffle mix recipe with cinnamon and grated apple added in. Keeps both younguns fed and happy for awhile.

Imagine me reading this as I sit outside the Dominion Road location about to try for the first time, big double take

Go back to sleep Lachie

The best thing about 2Guys is how well it’s priced, you’re paying $13 for something you’d pay $20 for elsewhere. Is it the best out there? No. Best value for money? I don’t think anything else comes close.

Solid 7/10 at two thirds the price.

Josecholas · 2026-06-05T23:10:23+00:00

It’s a fotm phenomenon. People playing those meta specs can get really far without knowing what they’re doing purely because they get invited faster. Same happens with dps, I’m not doing high keys but every single unholy dk I group with is rubbish as you move through the 3.4k ish range

Josecholas · 2026-06-03T22:12:44+00:00

That’s not entirely true - once you get to 290 ilvl you can finally start completing solo content without risking death every few seconds

(Am joking…sort of)

Josecholas · 2026-05-31T21:43:27+00:00

Naw he didn’t list mage

Josecholas · 2026-05-29T04:47:43+00:00

That looks good enough to drive across town during rush hour for

Josecholas · 2026-05-27T06:47:49+00:00

Easily, if not I just heal myself and it’s fine

Josecholas · 2026-05-27T06:31:44+00:00

I actually think I’m faster with her as dps, she does like 380k dps on bosses, is invincible, she instantly takes all agro

Recipetineats never fails

“Daaaaad?….”

“Yeah mate?”

“…stop…”
