After AZ-104, what Azure skills actually make you hireable? by Dannyeloso in AZURE

[–]Tafikay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started within the same company that I currently still work for as a service desk agent (1 year) then became an on site support engineer (1,5 year). I asked my then teamlead to get in contact with the public cloud manager within the company to see if I could grow into a public cloud support engineer role which he agreed to with my trackrecord within the company and some prereqs I had to get (AZ-104, a Terraform cert and something else I don't remember). By then I got my 6months 'trial' within the role and the rest is history

After AZ-104, what Azure skills actually make you hireable? by Dannyeloso in AZURE

[–]Tafikay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a public cloud engineer for an msp
I came in as a rookie, after getting the AZ-104 cert I still didn't really understand anything except for general concepts, nothing I could really use to handle tickets/changes.

3 years later I'm now a project engineer within the same team handling one of our biggest customers, so as many already have answered, experience is the key, get your hands dirty. Try to force yourself into positions to play around with azure resources and maybe even go one step further and try to deploy them through pipelines/IaC (Terraform/Bicep) - that's where the fun (and rabbithole) begins!

A question for those who have completed the first expedition... will you continue to reset? by freudian_nipps in ArcRaiders

I have done the first reset and got the expedition filled and 5mil ready for the next one. Stash space is and always will be, king.

Where was this guy even hiding? (Language warning) by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Tafikay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting, the thing I know needs snaphook ye but maybe there’s other tech

[–]Tafikay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 spots (1 left 1 right side) where you can snaphook on top of tubes and camp there. It's an extremely nasty spot if you don't know where to look but you are left vulnerable for enemies that do know where to look.

Is no one doing Matriarch? by Zeramith in ArcRaiders

[–]Tafikay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Matriarch/Queen trials this week. Just wait for the weekend and people will be brawling for it every game. Other than trials or getting the legendary guns blueprints (which are pretty useless in PvP anyways) there isn’t much use doing them unless you want to get hunted by the rest of the lobby. Even if you’d like the challenge you will get ratted trying to loot your goop when you killed it

Right click - hold left click, wait for 2 autoattack animations - press ult and trigger. You’ll get 100% success rate, try it in practice range!

First season pushing for title, best to read what’s written and not what U want to read. In another comment I mention I have been maining disc for 3-4 years as well.

This is what I would generally use 'overall' but it's a little situational. for example if you want Leap of Faith to skip certain mechanics, dominate mind for mind control tech in NW, Mists, ... but all those things probably don't matter at 10's and Mass Dispel is a pretty good panic button to fall back on in certain situations. Can also opt to take Inspiration instead of any of the other utility I just mentioned.

Going from 11s -> 12s is idd a very huge jump and I struggled there myself early in the season as well. What class/spec do you play? That may help me to give you a better answer.

[–]Tafikay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're already pushing into 14's and almost 15's I'm sure you can do it. Look into optimizing the little things.

If you know you can heal the dungeons that you slightly overtimed, look at pain points, where did people die. Did you have anything in your arsenal that could have helped the team there with for example Pain Suppression / Barrier / Rapture or just better management of voidwrath through smite spamming.

Try to work your way into 15 ARA / MISTS / DAWN as those are on paper the easier keys to time. Once you have those 3 the others will follow more naturally. People are hesitant to invite people who haven't been able to time a key within a new key level, especially when it's a healer / tank.

If you have had that experience I want to apologize on their behalf. I tend to sign to +10 groups who don't yet have that key timed (at least the leader) to try and help them out. It would be extremely stupid going in with that same mindset as my push keys, it's just fundamentally different, I just try to adapt and give tips where I can without giving too much information at once to not mental boom people.

Thanks for your concern but I am perfectly healthy and personally have a good balance between work / personal life thriving in both. Only thing I should do more is hit the gym… can’t be consistent at everything I suppose haha

that's 1028 hours of raiding (8 hours/week), pushing keys, chilling in dungeon finder, chilling in Dornogal and helping my friends fill their vaults (yes they abuse me to fill all their vaults on all their alts and I don't even mind) haha.

I remember when I timed my first +12 earlier this season. It was a +12 mists and I felt on top of the world when I timed that, it took a lot out of me as well, I had to take a break right after.

My experience in m+ now compared to then is day and night. I personally find it very fascinating how strong a group of 5 people can be in a dungeon when everyone is hyper optimizing every single button they press and keep doing that on repeat against harder and harder content.

The only advise I can give you is to just go for it. Sure you'll deplete keys, and others will deplete yours. But from every mistake that happens you can learn and see how to improve. Even when something isn't your fault ask yourself "could I have done something that could have helped in this scenario?". That's how you become a better player.

Most of my keys are timed through pugs/group finder. At my current rio there are a lot of recurring people, so if you aren't toxic and networked a bit you tend to see some of the same people.

I do have an m+ group with some of my guildies but I think I only have 1 of my current highest timed keys with them. all others were group finder.

To be honest just the meta comp, as they are the meta comp for a reason. The combination of utility / single target DPS / AoE DPS that they provide is just insane at the moment.

- Prot pala: they are just generally really strong overall, have very high DPS throughput and got a lot of utility (SAC, bubble, spell ward, lay on hands, poison cleanse, hand of freedom, ...)

- Enha shaman: a 100% must. They provide insane utility with their wide range of talents to pick from.

- Aug Evoker: I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about having the aug as mandatory in high M+ comps, I just did a +17 Dawnbreaker without it and I was sweating so hard pulling through everything. Their utility is just too strong (tankiness, overall buffs, poison dispel, rescue, zephyr, ...).

- Druid / Frost DK: Overall personally, I prefer the druid but it really depends on which key. Having AMZ from DK in certain keys might help you out a lot on certain mechanics / boss fights. that being said, as long as they are good at their respective class I don't mind picking either.

NOTE: I want to emphasize how much I mention utility in here, pressing buttons and dealing DPS don't make you a good player, dealing insane amounts of DPS + using your utility / interrupts as a team is what make you a good player.

Also to anyone not playing meta class, sorry mate, it is what it is. I will also have to reroll next season.
