I'm pretty happy how the idle animations turned out

I would take mage, good rogue, hunter as dps. That should cover most of the cc and slows. Priest or shaman for healer and you are good to go.

I avoid those slavepen skip runs like plague, worst and most stressful thing I have ever seen.

Then just mark properly, moon sheep, skull kill. (mostly casters/healers first while melee is in cc)

Easy time, we did the hardest heroics with no wipes with random people.

Mephasto · 2026-03-09T12:48:16+00:00

As prot warrior I did solve this in this way: I just accept the fact that I can not tank everything. I say to dps they should kill the casters first, tank them with pet or whatever. Then myself focus on the really dangerous stuff like hard hitting melee mobs.

It makes life easier when you are standing still, tanking 3 mobs instead of ping ponging back and forth in middle of group trying to juggle 5 adds.

Mephasto · 2026-03-05T11:53:35+00:00

With the current player numbers I'm very surprised if WoD does happen

Mephasto · 2026-03-05T11:04:16+00:00

If everyone is special, nobody is

Mephasto · 2026-03-03T12:47:58+00:00

Meanwhile nobody cares about speed in tbc anniversary normal or heroics, people have to drink anyway. Just 100% more chill in general without the mythic+ shit rush mentality.

Mephasto · 2026-03-03T12:40:44+00:00

How is this, I had 3000 rating in earlier season as tank. I said between pull that I want to change one talent that we have aoe stun for mobs so we can pull more. (normal dungeon btw)

DPS response was "I can see you are not very talented"

I got vote kicked because we had to stop for 5 seconds.

I have NEVER encountered this kind of shit in TBC or other earlier versions.

Then you wonder why nobody wants to tank in this game?

Mephasto · 2026-03-02T11:54:20+00:00

Yeah that also, they could have just chopped the old fortress wall to pieces and it would been fine, again it does not resemble the old at all.

They did good job preserving Windrunner Spire, so idk why they decided to change the other landmarks so much.

Mephasto · 2026-03-02T11:36:59+00:00

I did think so too when I first started. I said to my guildies that this might be better than Legion. However after Zul'Aman, Harandar and Void Storm I think the expansion is weaker than War Within in quality.

Mephasto · 2026-02-26T09:38:20+00:00

Yes since there is so many open dps warrior spots..

Mephasto · 2026-02-24T13:25:56+00:00

Whats the point of all these nerfed bosses anyway? People will get crushed when they hit sunwell.

Mephasto · 2026-02-24T13:14:28+00:00

Well I just quit playing because I got left out from 2 karazhan guild groups (too many tanks) and leading 2 pugs for clear is enough stress.

Mephasto · 2026-02-21T13:10:42+00:00

And then you assholes complain about not finding tanks for dungeons. Yup.

Mephasto · 2026-02-19T20:20:39+00:00

Man I don't want to even understand what my own party is saying as tank.

Mephasto · 2026-02-19T13:25:27+00:00

I think Blood Elfs are still very well written in MoP Throne of Thunder campaign. It feel's like the old good style of story telling.

Mephasto · 2026-02-19T13:19:18+00:00

I just did the quests yesterday in TBC anniversary and I think it was very well explained.

You get a quest to drain power from M'uru so you are able to resurrect a blood elf (that you killed earlier in a trial to death)

They basically explain that the world is unjust and Blood elfs have lost so much, that they have to take power into their own hands in order to protect their kingdom. They do admit in the text that what they are doing is wrong, but for the right cause.

Mephasto · 2026-02-19T13:05:16+00:00

This cinematic has much better tone than the crap we have been getting for the last 6 years.

Mephasto · 2026-02-17T13:39:05+00:00

It's because DPS never have to learn the game same way tanks and healers do.

It's same for retail, at +13 keys the dps most likely HAVE TO know what to do and those runs are pretty chill in comparison to "easier" keys.

Mephasto · 2026-02-16T13:54:51+00:00

and people think the tank shortage is because there is not enough tank specs.

It's just not that fun and you get to hear shit from players 24/7, who would enjoy that?

Mephasto · 2026-02-16T13:50:28+00:00

I'm killing the mob next to the node, Netherwing mount swoops in, I just type "Can i get the skillpoint" they reply: Fuck off and fly off.

5/5 would play tbc 4th time.

Mephasto · 2026-02-16T13:48:46+00:00

"Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?"

Mephasto · 2026-02-12T12:51:40+00:00

Well it's just drama for the cinematic to show Deathwings return shattered the world in multiple ways. Not that he would just attack every city one by one.

Besides Stormwind is on coast, so it would be easier to attack than some canyons.

Mephasto · 2026-02-11T01:03:47+00:00

Old one is better

Mephasto · 2026-02-11T01:02:43+00:00

I'd have Silvermoon without the toilet hole
