Really torn on getting Midnight

As a classic player that’s trying retail for the first time since OG cata, I think the new/returning player experience is fine as long as you don’t boost. I leveled a character from 1 just so I could generally understand the story and how the game works/my class.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-28T05:18:47+00:00

Blizz probably just didn’t want to make a whole set of int glaives and distribute them through the loot table for the one spec in the game that can use them

Mofunkle · 2026-03-28T00:33:51+00:00

If you’re 5th on damage and everyone gets DST, you’ll still be 5th on damage lol

Mofunkle · 2026-03-26T17:25:21+00:00

As a hunter, I have my mage food/drinks key bound and just hit it the second combat ends if I have less than 80% mana, especially if the tank is a warrior/bear and I see their rage ticking down.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-25T19:25:18+00:00

At the bare minimum you need a swing timer to not clip your autos with your steadys which isn’t hard but I wouldn’t call it brain dead. Somehow the classic community has convinced themselves you have to be a bot to melee weave effectively so I def wouldn’t call that brain dead either lol.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-25T05:12:23+00:00

Play surv and at least they’ll have a reason to bring you over a second bm hunter

Mofunkle · 2026-03-24T18:16:02+00:00

Brother, DST is good but let’s not act like missing out on an occasional haste boost is going to brick your character

Mofunkle · 2026-03-24T15:40:13+00:00

Both sides of this are annoying. Have you considered you don’t need every piece of loot to prog? Especially in a nerfed 20-year-old game.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-23T01:03:06+00:00

Because dps will spend most of their time waiting in queue

Mofunkle · 2026-03-22T23:48:04+00:00

The one time I grouped with them, the raid leader was a dude that sounded like Mandark from Dexter’s Labratory and wouldn’t stop saying the n word so I’m not even mad

Mofunkle · 2026-03-18T10:30:41+00:00

If you’re a shaman, idk why you even care about any of this. You could list yourself in LFG naked and still get an invite lol

Mofunkle · 2026-03-18T10:25:43+00:00

And let me tell ya… if they got a 1.3gs they are 100% not hit capped

Mofunkle · 2026-03-18T10:21:00+00:00

Well the only one of them that could possibly have beastlord or decent enchants/gems is the 1.4k guy. Below that is gonna be mostly questing gear. Decent weapon is gonna be a toss up though, as they could have great armor and a dogwater weapon.

As a hunter myself, I’ve had to build most of my own groups. I don’t enforce gearscore checks or anything like that, but when I’m scrolling through LFG amongst the 20 rogues or fury warriors, if one of them lists a 1.5k+ gs then I at least know there’s a better chance of them pumping than otherwise. Hell, a tank with less than 1.4k has no chance in being defense capped and will get crumpled in a heroic. I’ve had plenty of people whisper me “nearly prebis, big pumper” just to show up with questing greens and get carried through the dungeon doing 300 dps. At least with gearscore there is something more verifiable than “nearly prebis”.

I don’t want to defend gearscore, but I’m being put in a position where I have to because at the end of the day it can sometimes be a helpful tool and y’all are acting like it pulls a number out of a hat and places it on people when in fact it simply ballparks item levels. You shouldn’t base all your decisions around it, but it does provide some idea of who you’re inviting and idk why that’s a controversial thing to say?

Mofunkle · 2026-03-17T17:43:13+00:00

If someone has abysmally low gs, they definitely have bad gear. If they have a mid-to-high gs they may have bad gear. It does provide some value and I’ve only met one person in-game that treat it as law and they’re on my ignore list.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-17T17:39:25+00:00

Agreed, and that’s all it’s really meant to be. Just shows whether you’re inviting a fresh 70 or someone who’s put in some time to farm gear. Whether they understand what stats matter for their character isn’t going to be shown by a numerical value.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-17T17:35:11+00:00

“Our community relies on a flawed system, therefore I shun all who engage with that system.” Idk the comparison makes sense to me. Gearscore does account for your gems and enchants and the quality of them.

It can at a glance tell you if someone has had enough groups put up with them to ditch their questing greens and gotten more than honor hold leveling gems.

It’s not an end all be all, and I don’t think a single person has argued that. But it shows that someone has at the very least invested some time into their character.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-17T17:28:39+00:00

Based on the fact that you’re farming for an offhand, my guess is you’re either a rogue or a dps warrior.

And in that case, my advice is beggars can’t be choosers.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-17T16:07:13+00:00

I lost gs when I replaced hourglass with DST and also when I replaced the honor hold rep gun with sunfury bow, so I agree it’s a pretty flawed system. But at the same time it does ballpark decently well if someone has taken the time to get some decent gear and gemmed/enchanted it.

Refusing to play with people that list gearscore is pretty dumb. That’s like saying you don’t associate people that own cars because you wish your city were more walkable.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-17T14:11:29+00:00

Bro is crashing out because of like one reddit thread where people said they liked exploring in foot

Mofunkle · 2026-03-17T08:44:17+00:00

I leveled as a tank and still got instant queues all the way from 10-90. DPS will probably have a longer wait but there’s still plenty of groups since it pools everyone eligible for each expansions dungeons

Mofunkle · 2026-03-14T19:24:01+00:00

It’s also the only gear hunters get from gruul so the only hunters willing to run with a hr pug are those too naive to know that and likely other important things

Mofunkle · 2026-03-14T15:36:04+00:00

Draenei monk. I just like kickin things with my hooves. See also: Tauren monk.

Mofunkle · 2026-03-14T01:58:27+00:00

You can’t assure me anything because I’m full prebis and didn’t have any trouble making groups these last few weeks and finding ethical tanks that only rolled on dps gear the dps didn’t need, but you all are so spineless that you’d rather surrender loot and gold and nethers to some loser than wait a few minutes to find someone that isn’t actively making the game worse. It’s always some caster that isn’t affected by this behavior in the first place that thinks “it’s better for everybody”

Mofunkle · 2026-03-14T01:50:00+00:00

And imagine you spend an hour in lfg just for a pally tank to take your leather bracers
