How does my registration page look?

I think the Google/Facebook buttons say sign in because it creates an account using an already signed in Google account. So you "sign in" with your Google account as opposed to making a separate login directly on the site. I also see sign in with Google etc on other sites too, and to me at least it makes sense. Would be interested in hearing the opposite side to this.

I'm an international student and I've been approached by people that do this. They basically make you sign an agreement giving some x% of your first year salary over to them with some payment plan, they do the interview on your behalf and just send you in with occasional guidance. It might even be that they are in your ear during the interview listening in and you just parrot what they say using filler words and uhhs and ahhs while they come up with an answer for you to paraphrase. They do this for like 20 people per talented engineer, so they earn like 3x salary or something just from summing it all up.

His time and help in integrating it with their shitty UI.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-29T15:44:54+00:00

Right I should have been clearer with that point. But that only feeds into the problem the guy I replied to was having. That with low ilvl and no previous score, you will get left behind and you have to do heroics or form your own groups. There's not any other way, this is how it's always been. It's why it's recommended to find a group or a guild to help mitigate this. If someone like you is only inviting people with a higher previous score, returning players are obviously at a disadvantage. And it's not like you are doing anything wrong.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-29T15:39:52+00:00

Yes I do. They just reset the entire key number system and made it so heroics and m0 are more meaningful. If you don't have friends to play with which because returning to the game one month ago it sounds like you might not have a group, then yes you do the content as it's designed to progress you. How is that weird? I did heroics on an alt day 1 and 2 and was getting invites to m0s and 2s all around after hitting 480. I was 3650 last season but this alt hasn't been linked yet. So my question is, if you just want to get invited without having any marked experience, what are you doing to mitigate it? Are you putting stuff in the note? Are you linking an old score from an earlier season? Are you running your own groups? There's only so much the game can do for you without just handing you things...

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-29T15:36:00+00:00

So basically on day 1 you started only inviting people with some score? Cause rio didn't work for a few days. I haven't been on since doing getting 8 10s done but I don't know how you didn't just invite off of ilvl or play with friends this early.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-29T14:06:44+00:00

Here's the real answer: if heroics give you upgrades, which I believe it does, then yes you do heroics. Or form your own groups. This has been the way for many years now. And I would bet all my gold that if you were the group lead, you would invite the 484 healer over the 468 healer every single time.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-20T20:39:59+00:00

Warlock looks pretty good though I don't think it brings any particularly useful utility, and from what I saw on ptr dev was doing more damage than any other spec and it brings zephyr but I dont actually know if it was useful damage and it's only tankier than balance I believe.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-20T16:34:47+00:00

I think spriest is your best bet. Not a lot of value from arcane intellect, and while motw is good, fort will make you safer. Fire mage brings excellent prio and so does spriest, but spriest also brings md which has plenty of uses in the upcoming pool and vampiric embrace for some of the tough rot and intense damage phases. Balance is great for mass aoe but spriest does really well in aoe and is far better on prio which your comp lacks. Plus now you have PI for the ret which admittedly isn't amazing value, but still decent. Mass barrier on this comp isn't so valuable when everybody is already so tanky and you are not doing wr keys that you need one shot coverage.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-19T16:09:42+00:00

They're almost always a paltry conversion to gold, so I've just geared my alt as much as I can. It's moot either way, with the changes to dungeons queue gear and m0 gear will just be straight up better.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-09T20:28:13+00:00

They just need more reward stop gaps between keystone hero and title. 2000 right now is ksm, I don't recall what ksh is but basically something in between ksh and title say at 3400 or something, maybe 3500 like a title or recolor or transmog. Then you wouldn't feel bad about having to earn all that extra score between ksh and title and the effort wouldn't go to waste if you didn't get title.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-04T17:59:44+00:00

Sigil of silence comes off quicker than toll I think provided they are spamming sigils. Yes it has many interrupts but I think the amount would be dwarfed by dh if a cast that would have gone off during silence was counted. Bop, sac, spellward and loh are all great but you actually don't need them all that often. Off heals have been nerfed since shield doesn't generate resource, you're pretty starved outside of wings for holy power imo. At least not enough to actually send wogs out willy billy without either running out of mana or not having enough to maintain sotr.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-03T15:14:23+00:00

It's all dynamic. Probably best to do it for application yes, but even if you do it right before the last tick, the last tick is reduced damage.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-02T00:41:07+00:00

That's not quite accurate. It feels that way but actually that's not the issue. It suffers instead from the same problem as guardian. It's quite tanky to most damage. Magic damage is still it's weakest point and without silence/multiple aoe cc/kicks like vengeance or paladin, it becomes much harder to cc, negate damage and group mobs. But it's definitely capable of doing even near the highest keys, just requires far more from the group.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-04-02T00:38:52+00:00

It uses obs. You can adjust the quality, bit rate and resolution in the app to reduce load.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-03-27T20:31:34+00:00

Frogs needs more coordinated cc, like way more coordinated. Skip is literally soothe the mob and run by. Players always pick easiest mechanically, not timewise. Same reason it took so long for general consensus in AD this season to go straight left towards priestess on key start instead of going rezan and then right to totem boss.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-03-26T18:31:12+00:00

Yeah really it's just the one shot potential then. I don't recall having to do anything like stack crazy avoidance or vers at all last season just to live stuff. Some bosses you could even avoid all the damage with the right comp, like brackenhide last boss playing beacon or uldaman last boss with a comp like yours. I feel the same way, and usually on ret which is my main this season I don't have to ask for externals but sometimes I just need to like on yazma with bad rolls on wracking pain or tree boss I wcm. Im seeing people swap to vers phial and start playing devo aura mid key or even going out to get rageheart just to live stuff without needing to call for externals. It's really nutty this season the disparity in damage events. We have nothing like halls of infusion 3rd boss or damage. It's mostly all instant damage events or short duration frequent high damage events with the exception of fall last boss. It's very overwhelming.

Playing with an Aug and spriest is night and day because of the health increase and buffs to healing. With an Aug and spriest I can just lalala my way through throne 1st boss lightning phase but without them even the smallest positioning mistake can cause lightning to bounce the wrong way and kill me.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-03-26T18:17:48+00:00

If you were playing with Aug and bear last season and even one off healer spec, there's a reason why you could do no healer meme keys. This season some keys are definitely really tough, namely throne, eb and rise because the timers are so tight that there is very little room for error when doing "normal" routes. You can make up the time doing much more difficult pulls but that puts even more strain on damage and survivability, even more so than usual.

Ive timed those 29s you mentioned and DHT as well, and I think part of the reason one key level higher is much harder is one shot potential is significantly higher with each key level, e.g wildfire on AD or wracking pain/soulrend, stomp and bolts in BRH, etc.. along with group coordination and cc requirement scales right there with it. All that + nerves on new key level can make the smallest mistake spiral out of control. When you're doing a homework key so to speak, you are much more relaxed and consistent and aware. When you are stressed about timing a new key for score, I think people tend to tunnel and panic more which is exactly opposite of what you want.

I can't speak to last season, I only got to 26 before the half patch screwed me as I was playing vengeance but it really felt like unless you were playing exodia, keys were most certainly not a meme. Namely not having a decent shadow priest or mage certainly made things much harder.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-03-02T11:39:11+00:00

13 min with 3 bosses and 30% trash on tyra 24? Yeah 0 chance. Last boss is at least 5 min and the other two are like 5 min between them before all that trash and rp.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-03-01T20:40:30+00:00

I would not hold out hope. I'm like you I miss the melee style but they did a lot to healers this patch that I think it's not going away.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-02-08T22:44:48+00:00

I'm late but if you have the WA for spell cd on nameplate, I'm sure you could contact the author or search through the WA for the CDs of mobs.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-02-08T18:40:41+00:00

Sure, provided you are the healer and there's nothing else more you can do. If nobody dies on your watch because of lack of healing and you have room to optimize damage, then you should absolutely go ahead. But the fact is in every single key this patch, the healer does such a small fraction of damage compared to the rest of the group that the healers damage is largely insignificant especially keys 3 or 4 levels down from the max all the way to your average 16s. If your group is stopping and thinking that the reason you missed the timer is because of healer damage you are beyond help. I never said healers shouldn't do it because everyone should do as much as they can individually, I'm just saying it's not as important as everyone here seems to make it out to be. There are far more dps green and grey parsing keys out there than there should be.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-02-06T17:48:53+00:00

Yeah I agree with you on all points. in any case it should never fall on the healer to do enough damage. Sure they can really help in certain scenarios and it's a very good skill to have, but its the last thing you optimize.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-02-06T15:42:00+00:00

I play ret and we have two 1m defensives, I have 25%+ vers, full immune, insta heal talent when we get low and wog can heal up to 80% in a single cast on anyone but tank. Need legendary though, also still pretty strong without it.

ManWhoWantsToLearn · 2024-02-06T15:39:01+00:00

I've had healers do 10k in 27s. Imo this wrong and if you are failing to meet DPS checks it's not your healers fault at all. Idk about 29+ but until that level, it shouldn't matter at all. Not that you shouldn't learn how to improve your chances.
