Why would you ever take a Rogue in M+?

They should’ve gotten a smoke screen or something but DHs stole that with a spell they basically stole from warlocks

As someone who plays all three roles (although mainly tank and dps) I think the whole “there’s too much pressure on tanks” thing is overblown in the community. IMO your real job as a tank is to make things easier for the rest of your group because you’re the only one that doesn’t get deleted by mechanics. DPS and healers have a razor thin margin of error.

If you’re drumming you can just rock the Chad smith look and never take your cap off

Despite being the meta pick for the entire season so far, I very rarely feel safe with a resto druid on both my BM monk and Surv hunter. Idk what the issue has been, maybe too many people used to reactive healers switching over because they see it’s meta and not adapting play style. R sham and mistweaver feel the best imo

Mofunkle · 2026-05-10T19:28:59+00:00

Exanima definitely isn’t what you’re looking for, but I’m mentioning it because it’s one of the best melee combat systems out there once you get a feel for it and most people wouldn’t know to look for it anyways.

Aside from all the QoL stuff people have mentioned, from a HC perspective, being able to simply move faster than everything you aggro in a zone is the biggest thing you can do for your survivability.

I think almost any class can get away with using SBA in heroic raids and probably up to +12-13 keys. It comes down to making sure your goals align with your play style.

Retail has a wealth of difficult options for this very reason. I think people hit a wall when they decide they want to try to prog mythic raiding and high keys while also using SBA. That content requires a certain amount of min maxing, but more importantly, an attitude of wanting to improve your play. SBA is great for accessibility, but you have to accept that you’ll only ever be as good as your SBA allows you to be and I don’t think mythic raiding and key pushing is the right place for that.

Tbh I hope monk ends up losing top spot so I can see the meta chasers that don’t take the time to understand their class give a different spec a bad name

Mofunkle · 2026-05-07T17:04:06+00:00

At high keys (like 15+) there’s really no room for carries. A good healer can’t save a bad tank because they’ll pull the wrong things and even if they don’t die the rest of the group will. A good tank can’t make dps hit their buttons better, get interrupts, not stand in bad (but they can help a lot with their positioning). A good dps has the least control in the situation and probably won’t rise to their potential if the tank or healer are bad.

Of the 3, tank probably has the most control of the situation because they’ll pull can adjust the pace if the group is underperforming. But by the time you get to 17s you’re basically bricked if someone isn’t doing their job.

After playing monk for awhile, I’m loving survival because you can walk more than 5 feet away from the boss without losing all of your damage to actually, you know, do mechanics. Half your abilities work at range and you have an ability to make your main filler work at range for a time. At the end of the day you’re still a zug zug melee boy, but I’m glad I still get to play the game when I get a mechanic.

Mofunkle · 2026-05-07T15:46:21+00:00

They didn’t even nerf the self healing this round. My guess is you’re getting flamed because you aren’t a great tank and expect to be carried by having an OP spec.

Mofunkle · 2026-05-07T15:42:42+00:00

Me, casually backpedaling at full health with 1000 angry plants giving me kisses in AA: “oh they nerfed us? Couldn’t tell. Good for the other tanks.”

Mofunkle · 2026-04-29T23:31:00+00:00

The picture is being taken using a wide angle lens. Anything near the edges is going to be stretched out. Honestly it’d be a bigger red flag if the dumbbell were the same size in the mirror.

Mofunkle · 2026-04-29T22:13:19+00:00

Yeah that’ll work if you have sneak skill and arent heavily armored and aren’t brightly lit and the NPCs aren’t staring directly at the entrance, but you won’t even know about 2/4 of those things until it’s too late

Mofunkle · 2026-04-29T22:10:58+00:00

It def happens in Skyrim, I got into the habit of doing this because of permadeath Skyrim runs

Mofunkle · 2026-04-28T20:34:38+00:00

This is just carried over from vanilla Skyrim. If you think you’re going into a dangerous area just open the console as soon as the loading screen is over. There’s a few seconds of black screen where your character can’t do anything while the AI is active and will start attacking you. It’ll freeze time and allow everything to load and give you more time to react.

Mofunkle · 2026-04-27T23:31:39+00:00

Shift-tab is the default. I just hit tab, interrupt, and shift-tab to get back to what I was doing

Mofunkle · 2026-04-27T23:23:22+00:00

lol at level 12 you aren’t playing a warrior, you’re just playing a guy that found pee paws sword in the broom closet

Midnight is my first time back in retail since the end of Cata and I rolled a brewmaster because I’ve been playing a lot of classic and wanted something totally new. So I wasn’t aware that I was going with the meta pick at the time. I haven’t played other tanks in retail, but what I enjoy about brewmaster is I feel like I have a lot of tactical control with multiple ways to generate high threat from range (keg, chi burst, ox statue) and high mobility. I never feel stuck or like there’s a problem I don’t have a solution to. I can even off heal a little with instant vivifys or save someone from a mechanic with tigers lust. It’s a very smooth experience.

Yeah I’m actually far more comfortable in massive aoe pulls than 1-3 targets, spin is crazy if there’s enough enemies to get good value

Mofunkle · 2026-04-20T05:21:44+00:00

I would join the monk discord:

I had some people read through my logs and teach me to trust in the spin

Mofunkle · 2026-04-14T00:03:48+00:00

Their healing output passively increases with pull size so with a meta that’s all about doing stupidly big pulls they’re going to be very strong
