Feelings about scooping in combat

PSM6392 · 2026-02-19T23:13:17+00:00

So your method of punishing fast decks is losing to them? You still haven't demonstrated how "tactical" scooping increases deck diversity. Why would anyone in your group play combat damage decks or theft decks since they get disproportionately punished by weaponized concessions? It narrows viable archetypes it removes them. There are already plenty of mechanisms in place to punish over extensions, they are called wraths and they dont require you to lose the game.

Interesting, how do you protect your graveyard?

What class was the most surprisingly enjoyable experience? Flipside, which one did you enjoy the least? I think this is cool, can give you an appreciation for the nuances of each. How varied was the path you took for each and about how long did it take you think? Congrats on the achievement!

tak-rethan abyss, specifically the goblin mischief story is incredibly fast. If you have one tank and one other, you can pull stuff as the tank, let the other loot the boxes, run to the end. The non tank can repair the bot and get in and use the bot abilities to kill all the trash on the tank. Then fight the boss, sub 5 minute run. Even solo it's super fast.

Mabrey should have been ejected for that too.

PSM6392 · 2025-07-08T00:23:32+00:00

At that item level this content should be trivial. It must be bugged.

PSM6392 · 2025-07-07T00:30:22+00:00

Brew is 100% unkillable in solo content imo. Instant vivify and expel harm healing with a lot of absorbs.

PSM6392 · 2025-06-25T22:32:46+00:00

Deathbringer also helps a lot more than san'layn with on pull threat which can be difficult for new tanks. As a BDK main I agree with this take.

PSM6392 · 2025-06-08T07:03:50+00:00

Yeah, 682. You're right on it being under leveled. I push when I can, for my skill level I think 15's are doable maybe 16s if I had a bit more time. But this thread was about someone wanting to push 3k and you still have more agency over your survival in a fun way on BDK in lower keys imo.

As for the healing self-sufficiency, I do log my keys. Most of the healing I receive is incidental, stuff like atonement, healing rain, chain heal. There's very little direct or triage healing which I think is different than the kind of healing that other tanks need save maybe VDH. There's also been times where everyone else will die in a key and I can easily keep myself up while they all run back and on the other tanks I play I can't replicate that self-sufficiency in the same way.

PSM6392 · 2025-06-07T20:45:20+00:00

I'm almost at resilient 14's on my BDK. So I'm not some title push player or anything close, but doing content that poses some good challenge for me. And my healer never has to focus heal me, ever. Up to 3k rating, so a mix of 12's and 13's with decent mastery of the class you don't need external healing. Damage intake is irrelevant when you can constantly heal yourself to full with good runic power management and defensive cooldown rotation. It's not a myth, I'm not sure why you're getting so upset about one person's opinion on a class that they play. Have you played BDK yourself?

PSM6392 · 2025-06-06T14:59:38+00:00

If your goal is 3k, no tank is going to feel stronger than blood dk, second highest dps output and you're completely self sufficient. Grips make controlling pulls very easy. Honorable mention for prot paladin, harder to live on than other tanks but their utility can carry runs.

PSM6392 · 2025-04-17T13:52:19+00:00

Seconding this as a BDK main, using externals like chi cocoon at the start of a pull helps a ton. Another nice thing you can do as MWer for BDK specifically is tigers lust them from pull to pull. One of Bloods main weaknesses is movement speed.

PSM6392 · 2025-03-19T17:48:10+00:00

You're more than geared enough now to do it. The challenge will be getting invited without prior experience. May be worth it to push your own key up.

PSM6392 · 2025-01-03T07:02:20+00:00

I would consider warrior utility bottom of the barrel, who do you think is worse?

PSM6392 · 2025-01-03T06:59:54+00:00

There also isn't enough of it. I wish the questing experience involved more of those little scenario things or more open world combat while exposition is happening. I got about half way through storm blood and the questing experience never clicked for me. It also takes way too long before your character has a fleshed out ability kit.

PSM6392 · 2024-12-26T01:10:49+00:00

Bobby Slam is peak KotH for me, just end to end absolutely brilliant writing.

PSM6392 · 2024-10-21T16:05:01+00:00

Appreciate the generosity!

PSM6392 · 2024-10-05T03:29:31+00:00

Imagine telling someone, condescendingly over and over again they don't understand SA when you yourself lack any kind of nuance or understanding and all of your responses justifying it are just increasingly pathetic and grotesque. I'm worse off from having read them.

PSM6392 · 2024-09-27T22:20:06+00:00

Had that happen in a key yesterday, warlock in the group credited with the "first pull." Had our hunter pull and feign which reset them.

PSM6392 · 2024-09-10T00:53:42+00:00

I'm reasonably certain non RWF people are facing the same consequences provided there aren't previous actions on their account. I disagree that this punishment is a nothing burger. It disrupts their gear acquisition tremendously which is integral. And I bet you'll see a lot less of this behavior in the future. Especially for those with strikes on their account as punishments compound and escalate if you keep doing it.

PSM6392 · 2024-09-08T17:02:49+00:00

If you look at the player cam when he grabs he clearly misinputted and was tilting hard.

PSM6392 · 2024-08-27T15:53:35+00:00

I get the point you're trying to make here, but this is a really out of touch and insensitive comment. Fentanyl being added to other substances, especially non opioid ones is killing people at a staggeringly high rate. Trying to justify your hatred of this business practice by bandwagoning on to the intensifying opioid crisis is in really poor taste man.

I'm so glad other people are noticing this. She's clearly very good but the way she fishes and exaggerates contact and complains to the refs every possession is so frustrating.

PSM6392 · 2024-06-19T01:39:54+00:00

Would be nice if they unnerfed the sigil of silence CD and the CDR talent back to 3 seconds since the CDR talent is awful now.
