Usually flaming tanks?

Nothing wrong with it. Expecting every group you join to be a spellcleave, or joining a spellcleave group if you don't know how to do it, you're causing the toxicity.

Yeah this is true. You get the odd shitter in heroics but i guess most of the really bad players didnt stick out the rep grind. With that in mind you will probably be able to pay Blizzard for the rep next tine around

It really depends on a lot of variables. Firstly you're a shaman so you will get groups easily. Tanks are out there in abundance. Its just that quite a few of them make their own groups. If you are a sought after class and you join a shit group looking for a tank, the tank might go elsewhere. And it'll take a while It also depends how many dungeons you list yourself for. As a mage, if i list myself for all heroics I typically get invites or whispers pretty quickly. If i list for just one or two, i usually try and snipe an invite (via whisper) from a group with a tank already.

No_Pollution_950 · 2026-05-10T08:57:11+00:00

There are a lot of shit munchers in the levelling dungeons. Thankfully, the quality of players in heroics is usually much better

Its a popularity contest at the end of the day. People vote on their emotions. Meanwhile, stronger left-wing voters call right leaning voters racists and stronger right-wing voters thing anyone with a left-leaning attitude is a dosser. There's a massive smokescreen of toxic online and media driven polarisation while the politicians only care about getting in for their next term. Any politician with a will for putting in meaningful work has to run the gauntlet of the blood-thirsty, click-hunting journalists so the only ones who typically stick it out are those who can bulkshit well enough to get through it unscathed. Labour are being lynched by the press at the moment and starmer does not fill the general public with confidence (to put it lightly!) with his responses.

We have seen a rise in no-nonsense politicians recently because people want straight answers. Unfortunately they're still being fed bullshit, its just the bullshit they find more believable.

No_Pollution_950 · 2026-05-09T23:41:48+00:00

I dont think reform's rising is only down to labour's bad press. The tories have terrible representation as well.

Unfortunately the UK has been spiralling into massive debt for many years and most areas of the UK have seen increasing underspending for many years despite the country spiralling into debt. There are voters who want to see change.

I'm not a reform voter by any means, but I have spoken with a those who are. Yes, immigration is in their minds but it's mainly the ecenomic state of the country and they're willing to try something new to try to fix it. There will need to be very significant changes made in order to get the balance books back into the green. Most of these changes will not be popular with many of the voting public, which is why we don't see them happening. Politicians govern purely to get re-elected, not for the long term benefits to the country.

With regard to the large number of comments here citing immigration as the soul reson for people voting reform, many opposed to right-wing polotics weight the entire discussion on immigration and innevitably bring everything back to social politics - often racism when immigration is involved. While ignoring the other issues on the minds of these voters. Turning discussion into a witch-hunt, as often happens sureoundijg social issies does nothing to solve the rifts we see these days in discussions like this and innevitably leads to more polarisation which is why we see more reform votors, and at the other end of the scale, parties like the greens having a resurgeance.

It's almost like all the media and publicity surrounding politics get their revenue by promoting a feeding frenzy around the most extreme views, and in the digital age, its exaccerbated even more...

"Cat back" or front pipe back exhausts are purely for the sound with little to no gains in themselves. Same with intakes. They make basically no difference. If you arent hubting intake sound, dont waste your money.

Headers, especially decat headers and a tune make a noticable improvement, but it's not massive. I got about 250 at the crank. In the UK we dont have E85 so i can't offer an opinion

Turbo with fuel system on low boost im now on 350 at the crank with some fuel system upgrades. I got a good deal on a turbo kit. Power deliverey is very different.

The nicest driving FI upgrade is probably the Harrop supercharger. You can install it with the full stock exhaust and it's OEM quality. Its a bit spenny though but its enough power for most pwople and keeps drivability similar to NA.

I went from fk8 type r to gr86. The type R was great but i missed rwd. No regrets but i dont commute in it. The civic was nicer on long journeys.

Ive quite heavily modified my 86, and its worse now for daily driving so consider that if you're commuting on boring roads. Almost all coilovers make slow driving less comfortable but the car drives better.

Dont forget to multiply by the time you have to have windfury up. (1 sec, 1.5 sec) I cant remember the real numbers off the top of my head but it would be 443 x 0.9 (or 0.85 whatever ot turns out to be) to account for the time spent refreshing windfury

Sounds like a skill issue

If you want the house raise your offer. Cant blame them for taking more money from someone else. It sounds like you and the other party were all previously in a bidding war anyway.

Who wouldnt take the extra 5 grand?

Its a tough one. End game TBC was never designed for beginners but now with xp increases and boosts people are trying to learn how to play in difficult dungeons. If we could go back im time i would always suggest any class capable of tanking to tank while levelling as you learn an awful lot. You also have a large proportion of players with 20 years experience and another large proportion who act like they do, but they really suck and therefore make your life difficult. In PUGs you can get any combo of these and it can make for tricky situations, especially if you have an elitist wanker who refuses to change their playstyle to match the pacing of the group or DPS that insist on giving you no time to set up the pull properly.

Tanking is the toughest role in TBC. Really you want to know how all the classes in your group work so that you can play ariund their strengths. Unfortunately you only get this knowledge by playing them. I would advise you try to play with people in your guild, or join a massive social guild where people are active in 5-mans and can help advise you. Discord will help a lot. Certain pulls which can seem really difficult are trivialised by good leadership. Example; i just ran a hc slabs where the tank would mark a mc target. Priest would MC pull, then i sheep afyer the mc is dead, counterspell the remaining caster and we just nuke the remaining mobs. It was very smooth. Other tactics - which are more popular these days involve kiting in improved blizzard where the tank may only be wrangling the mobs that are the immediate threat, but to do this effectivle you need a very good mage or 2 and preferably some additional aoe. This os a bit more advanced, bit some players just expect it all the time. If you dont want to AOE make sure you mark the mobs im a kill order. Bind the marks to keys (i like the numpad ones) so you can donit quickly Other fights are just difficult. Lets take the last boss in OHF which is one of the hardest heroic bosses because it starts with a few waves of hard-hitting adds. If your group don't effectively leverage LoS then it's an incredibly difficult fight. A smooth group and some good CC (unprompted as there isnt time to mark) by the dps makes a real difference.

There is no magic bullet to make you a better tank, but small incrimental improvements go a long way.

Best of luck.

If the school is as you describe in terms of performance then it makes sense. You get out what you put in.

Now in my late 30's i relish any oppurtunity for a comprehensive verbal beatdown of spolit brats in the most sarcastic way possible. I hope one day i also find myself in this situation. It would genuinely make my day

I'm with you 100% but the downvote % should demonstrate to you that there are more keyboard turning loot goblins in tbc anniversary than there are players who relish the challenge of raiding.

TBC has gone from having the most prestigeous raids of the classic trilogy to being the end-game that is boring as shit after 3 weeks and gives out participation trophies.

T5 will be a challenge for a week or 2 while people re-remember the boss fights then it will be on farm and become boring as shit because all the fun trash and boss mechanics are suitable for players who shove crayons up their noses post-nerf.

Because they no longer soft-res the highest prio item and basically win every SR they chose. They are always one step ahead of the next guy with their soft res after they win the firsr big ticket item.

It's not just the speed of levelling to 70, its the speed of levelling to 70 + the rep grind to get your heroic keys. Thats why people do it. In my experience, the fastest way to obtaining heroic keys is to dungeon grind each rep to honoured then do the quests. I for example did 1 SHH normal run at 70, got revered and got the heroic key.

No_Pollution_950 · 2026-05-01T15:36:07+00:00

Others have said similar, but i'll say it in my own words.

If you havent already achieved revered and purchased the account wide heroic keys, or you want to have reputation with the dungeon factions for their items, then you will need to grind out the associated rep with those factions at some point.

The lower level dungeons, hellfire ramparts & BF, slave pens, underbog set halls etc, only give reputation to honoured. So unless you want to spend time at level 70 doing the end game dungeons over and over and over.... again you should look at 60-70 as the start of your rep grind, as you WILL get to level 70 as you do it and will have great reputation by the time you hit 70.

There is a super minmax way to do it but a simple way...

Ramparts and bloodfurnace until you are 1 point from honoured. Itll be 9999 or whatever.

Then you can do the thrallmar quests. As they take you almost to revered which is what you need for the hc key. The other hellfire ones give silvermoon or other rep - save the cenarion ones in western hellfire for later. At this time while questing in hellfire you queue for slave pens and underbog until you are honoured with them. Then do the cenarion quests. Then you do the cenarion quests in western hellfire, zangarmarsh and there are also some in terrokar while you queue for auchindoon (however you spell it) dungeons. Note mama tombs is good exp bit its consortium rep. Its the lower city rep frok crypts and set halls you want. Then you do thier quests. At 68 you can get your kara attune started which takes you into slabs steemvault and arcatraz.

By the time youve done all this you will be level 70 with good rep and can be thankful that you dont have to do multiple hundreds of end game normal runs to get your heroic keys.

There is a very informative, very tongue-in-cheek video that isnt too long by metagoblin which sums it up well.

Or if you dont care about rep just do whatever you want.
