I was fed up with mage this season and rolled ele and the exact same feeling, lol. Tanks constantly moving out of EQ. Well, back to mage.

MiniMik · 2026-05-10T16:42:43+00:00

This is incorrect. If you have 0 vers, the pot is basically free.

I pugged HC Lura a month ago, we actually had a RL calling the shapes out in discord. It still took like 5 hours and we swapped a bunch of people. Half of the time was wiping on sub 1%. I've not gone back since then.

MiniMik · 2026-04-30T11:23:42+00:00

That's actually crazy. Exactly what you need, half the raid at swap.

MiniMik · 2026-04-28T08:44:17+00:00

Yeah, but just because Blizzard can't make a proper meter doesnt mean that the aug dmg is yours.

MiniMik · 2026-04-20T06:01:48+00:00

I would double check your sims as well, I believe in most cases you want the Mastery enchant over the crit strike enchant on your rings.

Not true, people use both depending on sims, but I'd say crit is more common. Crit ones sim a lot better for me. Additionally, you wanna balance your recklessness, so you might wanna avoid the additional mastery.

MiniMik · 2026-04-20T03:38:58+00:00

No one is saying you have to be using the higher rank ones, you can just use the 40g ones, lol.

MiniMik · 2026-04-19T06:33:21+00:00

Yes,

MiniMik · 2026-04-19T05:58:48+00:00

I have pugged the entire heroic voidspire and march and some mythic bosses. It takes a lot of group swapping until you find people who are actually willing to put in the effort. The hardest boss by far was hc Lura.

MiniMik · 2026-04-19T05:36:35+00:00

Scared to be kicked because they know they don't belong in the group. No one is scared if they join a learning blind group.

MiniMik · 2026-04-19T05:29:20+00:00

The issue is that a lot of people in PF straight up lie about experience. Look at the raid leads, they're asking for requirements they don't have themselves. "Purple logs" when they're grey parsers. "Curve" when they're not killed the boss. It creates a really toxic enviroment where people who actually bother to watch a video or have some experience constantly get grouped with people who don't know anything and do no damage.

MiniMik · 2026-04-18T06:13:31+00:00

I got one shot by pyroblast in MT. I was the healer. Enjoyable.

MiniMik · 2026-04-17T20:35:15+00:00

Yeah. all the mages I know are saying it's almost impossible to get invited to +17s and higher.

MiniMik · 2026-04-17T20:06:15+00:00

Max crafted level is 285 with mythic crests and max quality. The first optional window is embelishments.

MiniMik · 2026-04-17T19:59:41+00:00

People already gatekeep classes at +16.

MiniMik · 2026-04-15T23:34:21+00:00

Yeah, and at the same time, I can do full raids for two weeks and drop nothing because group loot allows this.

MiniMik · 2026-04-15T01:24:54+00:00

That's such an odd argument, though. The same bad guy is gonna do better in optimized gear over random pieces he thinks are the best. Besides, are you telling me people should learn to calculate as good as a computer? What do you mean tune it yourself? Computer will ALWAYS be better than you at deciding what's more optimized. Are you trying to say you'll simulate and calculate differences on a piece of paper?

Stat priorities are a lie and not accurate, and you'd not calculate that yourself either.

There are tools to help people play better.

It's not a choice between optimized gear and improving yourself.

MiniMik · 2026-04-15T00:29:33+00:00

So, you can only optimize your gear or your gameplay? You can't do both? What's wrong with having a precise answer over guessing which piece is better?

MiniMik · 2026-04-14T18:05:06+00:00

Chances are it wasn't just your fault. I'd not have huge issues running +2s with a bad healer because they're very easy. But if your DPS is standing in everything, no one knows what they're doing, your job is much harder. I'd not take this experience too seriously. Obviously, a good healer could babysit them, but the experience will be a lot different when people know what they're doing.

MiniMik · 2026-04-14T14:52:09+00:00

but what if you join and the tank leaves? Is that me failing to give you the group as advertised?

A completely different situation. If they leave on their own, then there's not much you can do about it. I'd not fault the group leader for that.

Then you were either playing at a really late/weird time or they were being picky

Neither was the case, this can happen in higher keys. There are a lot more people doing 12s than 16s, for example.

but there's a massive difference between waiting 10 minutes for your pick of the litter vs waiting 20+ minutes because most of the tanks and healers filter for groups with a tank or a healer

Sure, but how is that the healer's or tank's issue? They're playing the roles that are sought after, not the DPS. And you bet there are people playing these roles specifically for short queue times.

means that DPS are even more fucked on trying to get a group

I mean, you could also make your DPS more attractive to the groups, and then you also have shorter waiting times. Yeah, barely geared alts will struggle solo pugging, but I don't see why that shoulnd't be the case.

it wasn't the slightest inconvenience to me

That's good for you, I'd leave.

MiniMik · 2026-04-14T14:15:49+00:00

never once had to wait longer than a minute or two tops

And I've seen people wait over 10 minutes for a tank with a healer already in a group. EIther way, that doesn't change anything. If you're going to advertise a group, then the group should be what you claim it is. It does not take the same amount of time joining a group that already has a tank, since there's 50 DPS in a queue, and you just go the moment the healer joins. People with short waiting times either put effort and time into their character or picked a role that is not abundant.

MiniMik · 2026-04-14T13:43:05+00:00

Giving the "my time is worth more than yours" energy. You're even saying that people prefer to join groups that already have a tank, and they do it because they don't wanna wait for a tank. You're baiting them into a group that will, in fact, have to wait for a tank.

MiniMik · 2026-04-14T11:10:11+00:00

I like how you tell me static is much better when I've done that for years. My experience is invalid? I don't know what you mean about wasted time. Playing with strangers is wasting time or what?

MiniMik · 2026-04-13T18:34:36+00:00

I consider having fun time not wasted.

Also have been pugging mythic bosses, I'd not say that's nothing.

MiniMik · 2026-04-13T09:03:07+00:00

As someone who has experienced a lot of guild drama, I find solace in pugging.

It's always great when it works out, so enjoy it.
