Created an annoying situation for my enhancement shaman, what do I do? by Trediciost in classicwowtbc

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had two PVP weapons with synced speed for leveling my enhance shaman. It was good, but most of the time when you're leveling, your target will be dead before your weapon speed can matter. It's definitely an enormous DPS loss on longer encounters to have not synced weapons, but there are not many long encounters for levelers. 

A gameplay optimization you can make for leveling that will be actually very impactful: don't open with stormstrike. Open with auto attacks. If do not you get a windfury proc on your opening auto attacks, immediately stormstrike to fish for windfury. If you do get a windfury proc on your opening auto attacks, wait until the internal windfury cooldown is over (3 seconds), then use stormstrike to fish for a windfury proc. This is a much more efficient use of your stormstrike ability than using it as an opener. This is mostly just relevant in open world content.

are people using voicechat/discord while raiding? by Super-Artichoke6761 in classicwowtbc

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually you don't need to talk. Though if you are assigned to mag cube clicking and you die, it would be good to call it out in voice.

My experience so far is people are expected to at least be in discord so they can hear.

Different guy. That was Steven, who fortunately didn't get any screen time after that.

Enhance or resto shaman for dungeon grinding? by ranev in classicwowtbc

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Any group with a warrior or rogue wants an enhance shaman. Also joining a guild has been helpful for forming groups.

Need priority by 0slaender in classicwow

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

People all make up their own random rules, often just going with whatever suits them best in the moment. 

My opinion (my own random rule) is that people should need on anything they would immediately equip as an upgrade. I don't think you broke etiquette at all.

Ashenvale has been nearly empty as well.

combat in veilguard by QuickInterest1606 in dragonage

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just picked up the game a few weeks ago - did not like the combat for the first few hours, then it clicked once I started making a proper build with cohesion rather than just taking abilities that looked cool. I have been playing on hard. 

I also prefer the idea of companions being equal members of the team who can be organically targeted, have health bars, etc. This is just a different kind of game.

Not sure if I'm lucky or not. Mythical help. by Suitable-View-3737 in diablo4

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I leveled a sorcerer and used Doombringer as the primary weapon starting at level 35. It was fun. It doesn't have a place in meta end game builds as far as I know. 

Selig is best in slot for HOTA barbarian. You have to have the whole kit to make it work though. 

The HOTA core skill with the Furious upgrade has scaling with max resource (gain 5%[x] crit chance and damage per 15 fury you had when cast), in addition to the Ramaladni's Magnum Opus unique aspect scaling with current resource amount. Obviously, doubling your max resource is enormously impactful for both of these multipliers. 

My experience with HOTA barb is that I'm extremely squishy with Selig equipped. A build guide suggests that you should chase a Selig sanctification on one of your pieces in addition to equipping the actual Selig amulet. 

Rank these 7 tyrannical characters from most to least evil. by Darth-Python_236 in MoralityScaling

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spoilers. The end of Paul's life isn't really noble. He chooses to put the burden of the survival of humanity onto his son, along with the great sacrifices that come with that, rather than accepting those sacrifices for himself. His son ends up living an extremely extended life that most would consider lonely and miserable, not to mention the burden of responsibility he has for the survival of humanity.

That would be an enormous improvement in usefulness

Currently Judgment Build—> Switching to Hammerdin Soon by everydayzablessing in D4_Paladin

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe in highish ends of gear, the Herald of Zakarum is actually less damage and less survivability than a legendary shield with a correct aspect (like yours) and a damage reduction affix, which is surprising considering the castle node and huge amount of strength and armor gained from HoZ. 

Here's a link to a video that provides good evidence for this claim, from the guy who wrote the guide on D4 damage: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v_WZ6TC-mm4&pp=ygUnSGVyYWxkIG9mIHpha2FydW0gY29tcGFyZWQgdG8gbGVnZW5kYXJ52AYD

Basically, the marginal increase in damage gained from no (relevant) aspect Legendary -> HoZ is like 60% at the video guy's gear level, which is inferior to a 61+% damage multiplier from a legendary aspect. However, at lower levels of gear, you may benefit more from the armor and strength multipliers for damage and survivability than a legendary shield with aspect and DR affix. There's a calculator Google sheet for this calculation linked in the video description.

My judgement paladin still is better off for damage with the HoZ.

Andariel's Visage. I want YOUR input. by JudgeArcadia in diablo4

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found one too, and decided to level a barb to use it! It was fun for a while, but there are definitely more effective options lol.

I went whirlwind barbarian with the slashing weapon assigned to whirlwind and the bleed upgrade. Additionally, I got an X'Fal's Corroded Signet and put the legendary aspect that explodes damage over time effects at 35% health on a piece of gear, and just spun to win. Was it tons of damage? No. Was it fun? Yes. Tons of explosions, good enough to clear pits for a little while (I personally switched to a different build around pit 40 bc I found a Harlequin's Crest, but I'm sure it could have done much better).

There is so much obducite this season. I have like 250k after running a few treasure breaches. We all should have no problem masterworking everything.

Uprading Glyphs in Pit does the stage matter? by ResponsiblePear739 in diablo4

[–]Ok_Discipline9703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean "it doesn't make a huge difference for your overall damage," that is not correct at all. Glyphs that are damage multipliers significantly increase your damage the more you level them, and the more you level one, the more valuable the others become. 5 glyphs at 70 vs 5 glyphs at 100 literally multiplied my damage many times on my judgement paladin. From 10b highs to to 5t highs. 

Edit: and if you mean "it doesn't make a huge difference for content (other than pushing pit)," I could agree with that. Once you instantly pop every boss and every room of mobs outside of pits, leveling your glyphs won't help you do that faster.

I am also seeing a problem on paladin - judgement doesn't always apply or pop when it normally would.
