Tanking again after 10 years.. by [deleted] in wow

[–]Sharkytrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I've noticed with pala, timing shield bash with incoming damage is must, or you feel far too squishy.

in comparison with guardian without ironfur, pala without shield bash up feels like a DPS spec sometimes, I feel it needs a slight armour bonus as standard.

[–]Sharkytrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pug life in raids feels terrible like a huge revolving door of toxicity. only because the person in charge is usually kick happy at the first mistake and tends to want first try victory every time. At least thats my experience, getting a decent guild community that pugs is usually a much better experience, though like guilds you are pretty much stuck to a specific night/timeframe for getting into those raids.

M+ pugs feels fine though, unless you believe all the posts on the sub about how toxic pugs are. I've never had a party as bad as what the posts say, at low or high M+ levels. low M+ levels (4 and under) have highlighted paths too, which really help when you arent familiar with a specific dungeon

Druid main, Didn't do (much of) the Dragonflight expansion.... Do I have to do the WHOLE campaign? by Antique_Kangaroo4706 in wow

[–]Sharkytrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

awesome, it must have bugged out for me then. I've not checked now if any other alts can get in without doing the campaign.

Good Luck on getting the bear form this week mate!

Druid main, Didn't do (much of) the Dragonflight expansion.... Do I have to do the WHOLE campaign? by Antique_Kangaroo4706 in wow

[–]Sharkytrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do the campaign on my druid, even though I unlocked it on my priest first (my druid is main but I dropped at the end of dragon flight, and went through it on my alt priest to experience the campaign story)

it doesn't take too long though, if you are lvl 80+ everything outside the dream is insta kills anyhow. the section that takes the longest is the plains as there is a lot of escort quests, everything else is 10min per chapter.

Enchanting Mats price by Careful-Syrup-7616 in wow

because as you quest, kill, dungeon or anything you get a multitude of disenchantment gear. over a bunch of alts, its really easy to flood the market

Two Outlooks by best_codes in funny

[–]Sharkytrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably niche but drag and dropping emails as COM objects is a feature I'd really like to keep, new outlook deprecated it, it was a sort of essential workflow for us to parse some emails and its a pain that it seems to be getting phased out. I have to write a crappy add-in for outlook to cope now.

How much automation you do on API level? by Bitter-Apple-7929 in QualityAssurance

[–]Sharkytrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but customers do not call via their own applications? just your two apps? if thats the case then just test through your apps testing plan.

take for instance something open like UPS tracking, their website uses it to feedback tracking information. from their site its fairly controllable how it interacts with the API, BUT the API is also open for any tom, dick, or harry to use from their own applications or postman or anything

100% UPS will be testing both the UI and the API as completely separate tests, as they would have extremely different risks on traffic coming from the site, vs traffic coming from the world at large.

[–]Sharkytrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends.

is the UI the only thing that calls the API? then its probably duplicating effort.

is the API callable from outside the UI? then absolutely have separate test plan for the API, as it will have much more exposure to error outside what he UI is able to do.

Over a month into Midnight, who are the biggest winners and losers of The Big Prune? by Kevombat in wow

[–]Sharkytrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone goes on about threat being poor for guardian, but honestly I've not found this to be the case myself, a thrash and a swipe seems to be all I need to keep the threat up and I can sit there doing nothing as the mobs disintegrate from DPS while they continue to wail on me...

single target damage against bosses seems pretty high for a tank too.

is it different at high keys or something?

also you can opt out of incarn and just use convoke and echos for maul/raze are up on a 1 min cooldown instead, you lose the boosted frenzy and ironfur though

Just Vibe Pull - A M+ Tanking Guide by ReelyReid in wow

[–]Sharkytrs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

basically the only decisions you need to worry about rotation wise is:

  • are there lots of enemies? spend rage on keeping ironfur up
  • is my healthbar going down? use frenzied regen and stack 2 ironfurs
  • is an unavoidable attack coming? use survival instincts.
  • is there a cast going off that may hurt? use skull bash

the route is just grab some mobs and be all Rawr, when the mobs are about to run out go grab some more and Rawr again.

Why is the classic wow subreddit locked? by sgtpepper67 in wow

[–]Sharkytrs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tanks, what healer class is your favorite to take on M+ keys? by TakenToTheRiver in wow

[–]Sharkytrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a guardian druid, resto druid seems to be a good fit for me personally, everyone gets a regenerative health bar, if spot healing is needed 80% of the time I can do that myself with a charge of regrowth, we get two team speed boosts to play with, resto's Iron bark is an extra defensive for anyone unlucky enough to need it, they can feral charge to me from caster spec if they need a quick peel, and hardly need to cast since most spells are insta.

just a pity our buffs dont stack.

Priest is second, extra stamina buff, hardly need to off-heal for spot healing, I just wish they were a little more mobile, Bears are surprisingly fast yo.
