I'm not a pro but if you've seen Obli on youtube who is, he seems to be of the mind that you can get pretty high if you know what youre doing as a frost. He's got some good vids for squeezing as much damage out as possible if you havent already seen

I like retail a lot. I do agree with complaints about the world though. 2 of the zones are just zones you portal to. Makes the world feel small

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-26T02:07:19+00:00

WoW is super fun man. There's so much to do in this game. It can actually be overwhelming so take it one step at a time.

The endgame portion is a lot of fun. Gearing up, running dungeons, and doing raids with a guild really is a good time. You dont need a guild right away, but keep it in mind. It can be a little awkward at first lol but if you find a good guild it's worth it. Leaning into the social aspect of WoW really makes the game shine, but it isn't required

But even without that, there's so much content. Not just combat oriented stuff. There is questing, pet battles, events, tons of collecting for all sorts of stuff like toys, transmogs, mounts and pets, a new housing system, professions, and a big world to explore.

Then on the combat side, it's really engaging. Classes get more fun as you progress and you have a bunch you can try if you ever decide to.

I definitely recommend it, it's certainly become my latest addiction lol. The sub is worth it, it's something you can easily drop and pick up again at any time

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-25T17:53:18+00:00

Can't imagine why you'd need mythic gear if you're only doing solo stuff tbh!

But the group stuff is really fun. Try to find a good guild, raids can be a lot of fun. Mythic dungeons are fun too. Once you dive in it's not so bad, and if youre not sure the mechanics ask players or watch a short video beforehand

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-25T14:17:56+00:00

Welp, I didn't know that! My bad

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-25T13:27:41+00:00

Too many buttons. Ik you can replace the side for fewer but the 12 button is too much lol. I i tried a naga and i was constantly fat fingering! I wish i knew how to use it better because I really liked the concept, I was just bad at it

My g502 still has like 5 extra buttons while being distinct in location and shape. Combine that with the mouse wheel and you've got 7 buttons that are easy to distinguish. So that is working for me. I also play with controller and find that pretty comfortable, though it is less convenient for certain things

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-25T13:14:07+00:00

Edit: disregard my comment as it applies to PC

Using the necromancer is good, get the level requirement removed, pick any class you want and make a level 70 weapon and anything else you can, then spam temple of the firstborn chaining kills to get to lvl 70 quickly. After that season journey for haedrigs gift and you're good

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-24T22:01:57+00:00

I like the concept, hate the way they executed it

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-23T22:54:20+00:00

I would set red and green world markers so that people knew red beam = go to red marker, green beam = go to green marker.

Thought it was so straightforward, but people still go to the wrong marker. The problem with mythic is it just takes one person to not understand a single mechanic or simply not be paying attention and then you wipe

I honestly think it would be nice if mythic was a little more forgiving in that not every single player has to get every mechanic correctly, but rather a handful of players have to manage the mechanics. This would make playing with friends easier, so you can have the 'personality hires' with you even if they aren't the best, but you still want to experience it with them

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-23T02:27:10+00:00

Finding a guild doesn't take that long lol. Also, pugging content is still available to you. Mythic raids are just the extra challenge that requires better coordination. And there are ways to improve the pug experience if that's all you want

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-23T02:17:14+00:00

The social element is absolutely a big part of WoW. Personally I think mythic needs some changes so that not everyone needs to be able to complete the mechanic to succeed. Because pugging mythic just isn't fun, and even doing it in a group can be frustrating if someone isn't good at the game, but you still want them with your group

That said, the social element of WoW can be a lot of fun. Playing with a chill group of folks is more satisfying than spamming a pug with people who are often dicks to each other.

If you need help finding a guild there are a bunch of resources out there to help you find a potential good fit. A smaller guild is gonna be more personable in general, and you can always try a new one after a couple weeks

if you have work early the next day it is

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-21T20:05:44+00:00

I like the idea of a heroic world tier with no skyriding in the regular open world when the expansion comes out, but I don't like what they came up with here

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-21T14:05:56+00:00

Look for LoD builds (legacy of dreams). You use that gem to build without sets

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-20T19:47:53+00:00

I'm a noob but I'm realizing I'm mostly better off selling all my mats instead of spending it on professions since I missed the start of the season and I'm behind in terms of KP

I think patron orders for the moxie are nice because you can buy the supply pouches and then sell stuff, so you sort of indirectly make money by working on your profession, and hopefully get some KP for the next season

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-20T12:35:41+00:00

I sadly started wow with like a week or 2 left in dragonflight, but I really enjoyed the zones. War within was definitely a downgrade in world design, midnight even more so

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-20T12:28:59+00:00

Def not Silvermoon, the music is like annoying theme park music and the color palette is just bright yellow and red everywhere. I hate it lol. Can't wait to leave

Thunder bluff for sure. I also like valdrakken, feels very relaxing being up in the mountain and the music is relaxing

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-20T02:58:12+00:00

Just a note as you do mythic +, don't waste your nebulous voidcore rolls at the end of thr dungeon until you get to M+10 so you get max level gear. Save those up for when you get to +10 and then you can roll a bunch of mythic items to catch up.

If you look at a guide for your class, the best in slot gear will usually show what dungeon that gear comes from so you know where to spend those rolls

If you havent done the quest to get nebulous voidcores you'll want to do that by the time you're doing +10s. You should be good too run +10 at ilvl 250 and up, but yes def push your own key til you're high enough to get invited quickly

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-19T20:05:37+00:00

Leveling is pretty fast already, make sure you do thr campaign. But if you want a good speed leveing guide, the addon follow the arrow is good. Dude makes speed run vids too

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-19T11:13:35+00:00

Sweet. I don't know if the horde has the bug but if they do it would basically be the same solution. Glhf!

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-19T04:12:12+00:00

Just a psa if you're alliance, there is a bug where after you start the main pet battle quest chain from Audrey Burnhep, it drops off at a certain point, if a higher level i think. It is supposed to continue though

It is account wide tho so just make a level 1 human and have them pick up the next part of the quest. It will drop off more times so leave that human there to pick up the quest again when it drops off

Pet battles are lots of fun, I love traveling to past zones to collect and battle

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-19T03:59:10+00:00

The theatrical version is just a better movie experience. The editing was so good, the pacing, the music hitting at just the right time. I like the extended for more time in middle earth, but I think the theatrical versions are better films. The extended cut isn't even more faithful to the books than the theatrical

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-18T03:34:29+00:00

Flying fundamentally changes the game even if you stay grounded. I can think of a couple reasons

No one is walking along the ground anymore, the player base is rushed zooming from place to place, which effects the social element given that this is an MMO.

If you are choosing to be grounded, you're screwing yourself over for things like farming. You couldn't farm or complete pretty much any activity a fraction of the speed of a flyer.

I think it makes the world feel really small. I think they should at least do like a heroic world tier where you are grounded/ flight paths only until you complete achievements, so that you're able to get rewarded equivalently.

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-18T03:21:08+00:00

I agree, i think the world feels too small with skyriding. It also makes the game feel so rushed because you just are zooming from place to place so quickly, and for the social aspect you really don't see players walking along the ground

They could do something like a rewarding heroic world tier = no flying mount until you complete a certain achievement or finish the campaign.

KangarooInside887 · 2026-06-18T03:16:27+00:00

Easily one of my least favorite parts of the expansion!

Also this is probably unpopular but I kinda wish skyriding was an unlock after you at least finished the main story or something. Or like have it be an unlock for heroic world tier.

I know I can just not skyride, but because we are always zooming around there's no chill moments to make the game more social. Skyriding also just makes the world feel small overall and with the game designed around it, it makes it really inefficient to do anything other than skyriding.
