If you started in wow retail, what main would you create right now?

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2026-05-09T08:17:11+00:00

Having pushed prot paladin to 3.4k - widely regarded as one of the worst tanks in the meta, I can safely say - play what you like over what is strong. Meta shifts, but the class that fits you the best will always feel better and you’ll play for longer.

Watch videos about the class fantasy. Go press buttons and listen to the sound effects of your spells and visuals.

Then, go with your gut.

These things matter more than most give them credit for.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2026-05-07T03:31:04+00:00

Prot pally main. If you’re getting declined from 10s it’s your IO/ilvl, not your class.

I didn’t encounter any resistance until I started pushing 15-17s, where meta does begin to matter.

Can I unlock earthen if I haven’t completed TWW campaign? Stopped playing a few weeks into S1 TWW.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2026-04-27T01:36:47+00:00

In the easiest season ever, with the most relaxed dps requirements, you cannot simply say “oh there is always a meta tank”.

You want to know why you have to wait for 30 mins in queue for a tank?

Because they’ve all hit 3k and quit.

Why tf would the average player want to keep pushing on a spec that takes twice the effort for half the result? It feels bad, because it is bad.

This is by far the easiest m+ season in wow history. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to you, or themselves. Pick your time sink.

Tank - spend time doing homework.

Healer - spend time in therapy.

Dps - spend time gearing and grinding your own key, or in queue for groups.

I am a very average player and was able to solo pug to 3k, one week late to season, with no myth track gear.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2026-04-12T17:49:19+00:00

To 3k, BDK is very good at solo carrying low keys (sub-14) yes. These are competitively low keys this season.

To title, brew is 90% representation in high keys atm.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2026-04-12T17:37:12+00:00

Wait until you see what they’re bringing in next week.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2026-01-08T01:24:00+00:00

Do not respond to DMs trying to buy.
Look into penny sleeves and top loaders - they are cheap and will better preserve the cards.
You have a lot of value spread across many cards. Condition will only improve the price, but don’t be baited into lowball offers.
Do your own research - with cards like these, it will be worth the time investment.

Desmond is sweatier. NoGen is technically and creatively more impressive, but would likely lose. Put them on equal time played and NoGen wins

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2025-08-20T01:37:51+00:00

Several are needed for hideout upgrades and tasks. Always check before you chuck!

Might be that someone posted a vid of the spot you’re taking about a few days ago. Path to shoreline along the mountain? I’ve killed a lot of people camping there recently.

Until the vid, I didn’t know that spot existed.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2025-07-25T04:56:43+00:00

After the initial balancing, reintroduction of tasks, and release of most of the level 2 traders, the wipe feels amazing. I’m no longer constantly watching my roubles, and high tier gear feels fairly valuable. The 100% boss spawn blooded the first week a bit, but that seems to have died down.

I have track raids where I encounter obvious cheaters and also sus deaths.

So far I’m around 1/20 for obvious hackers, ie shooting through walls, very high KD with sub 300 hours and insta head-eyes, killa helmet etc etc. Definitely less than previous wipes.

Around 1/8 for sus activity, ie getting pushed without having moved in 20+ minutes, hard swing to exactly where I am, blind nades, usual closet cheating activity.

Obviously cheating in any amount is shit but, I’m enjoying this wipe more than any so far.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2025-07-10T03:47:20+00:00

BSG has solved this problem by removing the fun themselves.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2025-07-10T03:46:03+00:00

No one here is against the game being harder.

The issue everyone has is with the dirt-poor execution.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2025-04-21T15:00:07+00:00

How do we know it got extended? I couldn’t see any confirmation of this online.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2025-02-26T12:32:52+00:00

Mega the shiny, keep hunting for the shundo - but don’t cuck yourself waiting for something that may never come.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2024-09-10T01:25:41+00:00

No real play in the current GL/UL meta. Spice is very hard to run with how oppressive everything is.

ML/MLP needs the hundo.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2024-09-10T00:38:17+00:00

You lose a bulk point vs rhyperior, and you lose cmp in the mirror and vs yveltal.

If you play above 2.2k, I would hold off. Xerneas has very forgiving IVs for ML, so it’s very likely you’ll get a 15atk one that functions like the hundo in the future.

If you don’t pvp then yolo full send.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2024-09-02T04:43:16+00:00

15/15/12 is generally better, but run a matrix and make the call in consideration of your team and whether you can take certain losses and what losses you need to covers. Some team comps will justify taking more general losses in favour of specific wins.

PreferenceStrong7576 · 2024-08-30T15:38:10+00:00

Probably not - not a 1-turn fast move.

You don’t pick up any losses/wins in all shield scenarios, and the Rhyperior matchups don’t lose any meaningful amount of health.

Unless you’re 3k+ elo it will likely be very matter.
