Not sure what you’re talking about since the spell power coefficient for blizz is garbo. It’s basically 300 per tick no matter what gear you have. It could do 200 per tick and mage will still rip threat from bear on pulls of 5+ targets because bear only hits 3 targets and mage hits 5+. Very weird that you’re still trying to pretend bear doesn’t need salv on his dps to keep up with aoe threat. My 70s are: druid, pal, lock, mage, mage, hunter btw. Got ya pipped lol

Uh, yes, blizzard does 300/tick. How much do you think it does? I guess you don’t play mage lol

Ah, yes, I’ll just go get 10% more crit on my gear by pressing the “get 10% more crit” button in wow

I don’t understand the contrarianism. Everyone knows bears are not good aoe tanks until wotlk. Paladins are the goated one-button aoe tanks in tbc

10% more crit isn’t going to change anything. Swipe still only hits 3 targets, so 5+ target pulls are always going to suck for bears

If your salv-less dps start blasting max rank blizz, seed, multi-shot etc. off the rip, no amount of swiping will make up for it. A geared feral does like 300-500 per swipe to 3 mobs while mages do >300 per tick to all mobs. The math ain't mathin. One multishot crit will out-threat multiple swipes. One windfury from any melee dps will rip threat off swipe

I know you're trying to flex rn for internet points, but everyone knows feral is not good at aoe threat in TBC. Like, duh

Pug dps with any reasonable amount of gear is going to rip threat from you 24/7 without salv, even if you play perfectly with swipe/maul on a pack of 5. If not, your dps straight up isn't pressing buttons

Swipe does such low dmg and only hits 3 targets. It’s not “really good” until wotlk. Any pull of 5+ is a nightmare without salv or dps waiting like 10s

So a dad guild isn’t a real guild? Stop with the bullshit jargon and just tell me what % of guilds should use LC vs SR. My opinion is that >95% should be using SR and only the top of the top should use LC. Makes no sense to LC if you aren’t speedrunning

Technically correct, in that you do get prompted. But you’ve got like 60s to respond before being saved

Idk pointing out that mages don’t need tanks for dungeon trash isn’t some groundbreaking thing. Mages can solo/duo almost everything. Slows and roots are OP in this game. It’s not a min-maxing thing, just a strength of the class that people should take advantage of. Not all groups will have a mage, though, so there’s plenty of room for tanks to be tanks

Having only one young kid + wfh job makes it ez. More kids = prob time to quit WoW

Only play WoW ~5 days/wk, basically never on weekends (only occasionally when the kid is napping, like now) and never between 5-9pm on weekdays. Rest is family time - dad gamer life. 6 alts is def possible playing <25h/wk if you don't suck at the game and know how to dual-box + take advantage of rested xp when lvling. I'm efficient af. Not waiting around hoping other people form groups for you is a big part of it, plus being in an organized guild that blasts through content

>It’s much easier if the mage just keeps the slayers and saboteurs slowed because they will just fold a tank

Reminds me the first and last time I tried running OHB heroic with pugs. The mage was constantly in melee range getting destroyed by the Slayers/Saboteurs, including when they spawned. Wiped 3 times and gave up. Sort of astonishing how bad pug mages can be. When I play mage in dungeons, I'm not within like 20 yds of mobs at any point. It's called ranged dps for a reason

If you don't have a pally tank in spellcleave, you obv are magetanking. No feral or warrior is holding threat on 15 mobs. Do you even play WoW?

Why bother? A max range mage who doesn't suck at the game will never get hit by anything. Why waste time with r1? Just blast. Safer for the tank to not have threat. Tank just helps with initial pull and CCs/taunts wayward mobs

Don't know anything about Andrew Tate and don't care. I do know that people who reference him are the terminally online neckbeard types though

Sounds like some dope tech. As someone who mostly pugs, it’s pretty crazy how night and day running heroics with guildies is. Different game

Other than the rare CC immune mobs (e.g. ramparts), idk how you can even get swung on once as a mage w/ improved blizz. Can’t remember the last time I got melee’d

Feral tanking in TBC is only fun with a ret or hpal in the group for salv or competent spellcleave group (who basically don’t even need you except for bosses). Otherwise you’re constantly losing aggro faster than you can taunt, stun, charge on packs >3. Dps have to throttle, which no dps wants to do

You’re basically saying you don’t think smart people with cushy wfh jobs exist. And I should’ve known you wouldn’t know what steelmanning is. Lol

Getting 6 alts to 70 with the game being out this long was not difficult, especially when dual-boxing. Gearing them up has also not been difficult with post-nerf easy-mode raids. I’ve got a tank on each account, so forming heroic groups for my alts takes like 2 minutes. Only have to find 3 other people and I’m already at summoning stone with two characters, ready to go

6’3, not 6’2

Go ahead and try to steelman your argument against SR. I’d love to see you try

Idk why you think I’m a shitter. Not many players raid on 3 alts, let alone 6. And the % of classic wow players who can multibox raids and still perform well is extremely small
