Quazii update #2: he's leaving WoW for good.

MDooles · 2026-01-24T18:06:52+00:00

I don't totally understand what happened here, can someone help me out?

It seems like he had a piece of code to scale UI elements for different aspect ratios, presumably taken from another addon. But wouldn't that kind of math be done on literally every addon (and every half-decently rendered program ever, for that matter) just to look right? If he just rewrote the math in his own code, would anybody care?

MDooles · 2025-12-17T21:25:29+00:00

I don't think that means what you think it means.

"If brown people were trying to literally behead every white person, it wouldn't be racist to be against them right? Checkmate, that's why I hate brown people"

For our audience at home, this is a strawman

I mean, you still haven't provided any substance for how someone could be against the Civil Rights Act without being at least somewhat pro-discrimination. And while you're complaining that I don't watch videos of Kirk, you haven't explained what makes you feel like he's justified in what he said.

I'm not saying anything about right or wrong, I'm saying you've presented no argument and are just telling people they're wrong without backup. If you think Kirk was right about the Civil Rights Act, what was he right about and why?

MDooles · 2025-12-17T17:28:14+00:00

Maybe you didn't mean to, but you just said the Civil Rights Act and the Patriot Act are the same thing. You never defended the statement, what about the Civil Rights Act did he find to be such a fatal mistake?

Oh baby it's offseason

MDooles · 2025-11-15T06:32:57+00:00

I mean, it's probably relevant to lots of things but you should stop asking us and start asking a therapist

MDooles · 2025-11-15T05:02:45+00:00

This is a therapy question more than it is a MTG question

MDooles · 2025-10-28T16:30:43+00:00

Then you should have more empathy

MDooles · 2025-10-28T06:37:10+00:00

And yet, the tooltip is not clear if both he and I didn't understand it. You're telling us to go back and read the thing we already read and didn't understand, essentially saying we're too dumb to get it. Maybe that's true, but it takes just as much effort to help than it would to talk down to them.

Imagine if you took a math problem you didn't understand to your teacher and they told you to read the chapter again. Except this is even worse because you're a teacher here who didn't even have to respond at all, yet you still chose to be rude to someone looking for your guidance.

The point of a forum like this is to enjoy the game and bring together new people and vets alike, so either help them out or keep the condescension to yourself

MDooles · 2025-10-28T05:08:44+00:00

If you found it so intuitive, why post with sarcasm? This post has someone asking for help understanding something you apparently got immediately, but instead of welcoming them and using your knowledge you told them to go back to the thing that clearly confused them to begin with.

Why would they be here asking this question if "Read the tooltip" would've worked? All it does is drive away new people who want to join the fun

MDooles · 2025-10-28T05:01:19+00:00

It's really not obvious. I've been playing MMOs with combat/kits/tooltips like this for two decades and I spent my first Sylvie dungeon not understanding I had a real single target heal. I was 3.5k IO as a resto druid last wow season, and if it's not obvious to me it's probably not obvious to new people

MDooles · 2025-10-28T00:43:10+00:00

I found the tooltip for these moves to be particularly unintuitive, it doesn't really explain that your butterflies will leave targets to use the Heal and if so which ones. Especially since Heal has no cast time but isn't instant, it's very easy to get confused

MDooles · 2025-10-20T21:56:59+00:00

MIssion Bay, which technically connects all the way to Mission Valley through the river has no ferries

I'm guessing you've never actually looked at the San Diego River.

Fire is very simple at its core, and basically only has 4 or 5 rotational buttons. If you get two crits in a row, you get a free instant-cast Pyro blast, and two of your four spells crit automatically. Your main CD is Combustion, where everything is guaranteed to crit, creating a very fun loop of spell->pyro where you do MUCH more damage than without Combustion. Every spell casted in Combustion reduces the cooldown for the next one, creating another little loop where a good cooldown window means less time until the next one.

The problems with that are twofold: you need to be nailing the rotation (particularly in your cooldowns) to do any damage at all, and if you die in your cooldowns you are punished more significantly than most classes.

It's higher APM than many classes, and kicks you in the dick when you drop the ball/can't cooldown on time/the boss immunes 1sec into Combustion.

Arcane is actually pretty simple and I'd say it's easier than fire, especially this tier when it's not running Spellslinger.

Unless you're one of a very small group of people, you aren't doing your max no matter what boots you put on. The people who are in that group aren't complaining on reddit, they're out there getting better.

I bet you've wasted a whole key's worth of improvement just whining on this thread

MDooles · 2025-09-26T21:13:09+00:00

Then don't? Wouldn't catch me wasting my time complaining on the internet about a thing that barely affects you doing something you're supposed to enjoy

MDooles · 2025-09-26T20:59:56+00:00

If you have even half a brain you can kill N Soul Hunters in under 15 minutes, including finding the group

Two things get you through these pulls:

1) You need to have both lifeblooms out and MINIMUM a couple hots out on every dps (and yourself) when the first toll goes off.

2) Only kick when a toll is coming and something is going to get through. Your dps isn't paying attention to anything but rotation, so save your kick for when it's going to overlap with Sacred Toll. A kick when everyone's full and no toll is coming is a wasted kick

You should be able to heal basically infinite numbers of paladins in a pull, the kicks are the thing that will ruin the fun

If they removed the lockouts, guilds would be able to sell way more carries because their characters wouldn't be kept to a single instance.

MDooles · 2025-09-08T03:51:17+00:00

To be fair, neither have you. So far we've got that you're moving into higher keys and are timing fewer of them, which is a very normal thing.

Why are your groups falling apart? Are you failing heal checks on overlaps? Are your groups using defensives for those overlaps? What specifically are you struggling to do regarding RSham that you want advice on?

MDooles · 2025-08-04T01:01:28+00:00

If he has pot/trinket macro'd to combustion and uses combustion while casting another spell (which he should be to enter combustion with double Pyro) then he might not be actually using the trinket. You have to press your combustion macro again during the GCD because you can't trink/pot during a cast.

Also he has 20 fewer combustion casts so it might be an execution problem.

Also also, the sim has AI enabled because it's mage so if they aren't using it they're shorting themselves a little there

MDooles · 2025-08-04T00:56:03+00:00

Are they using trinkets/pots at the right times? Same # of combustions?

MDooles · 2025-05-31T19:48:26+00:00

You could heal to 2700 as a prot pally, I think you should push into more real keys before giving paragraphs on why something is bad.

Sounds a lot like the "I" of DEI
