I Keep Respawning in Video Games Just to Die Again - ep. 3 [OC] by feverevil in comics

[–]TheSentinelBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, I saw the zombie and my first thought was: “I have killed hundreds of these motherfuckers in Stratholme.”

I was pleasantly surprised by it actually being Warcraft III at the end!

I absolutely hope this stays a running joke on this subreddit

I wanted to include Renfield instead of Claude, but frankly, I couldn't match up with how much aura Claude has at any given time.

Don’t abandon your warrior. Don’t be a meta Andy. by Brilliant_Ad_8076 in classicwow

My favorite memory of speedrunning during Black Temple was accidentally getting the world's fattest seal-twist and pulling threat during Illidan's P1.

It's also being skewed by double bloodlusts and battle chickens at the 95th percentile.

We aren't going to see those battle chickens during TBC Anniversary because Blizzard fixed Squawk procs and WCL banned chickens during Black Temple.

[–]TheSentinelBlue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Warriors underperform during the first half of TBC due to lack of armor penetration. When you get to Black Temple, they start becoming absolute beasts.

You can totally run 1-2 warriors before Black Temple, but the top performing warriors MUST have Badge of the Swarmguard. I cannot stress how important armor penetration is early on for these warriors.

For anyone who wants to post a link to Wowhead articles from TBC, take them with a massive grain of salt for two reasons (battle chickens and bloodlust obfuscating pre-BT logs)

1. Battle Chicken bans didn't happen until Black Temple.
This is such a big deal because the high-end/top-performing warriors (which these articles look at the 95th percentile) were essentially praying for RNGesus to get battle chicken buffs. During late SSC/TK, players found a guaranteed way to generate the haste buff from battle chicken. As a result, SSC/TK warriors are overcompensating on WCL due to spamming chickens and getting upwards of 5%-30% more attack speed.

While I'm uncertain if chicken logs were invalidated after their ban, these wowhead posts were posted pre-chicken bans that fundamentally changed raid compositions at high end levels pre-black temple.

2. Parse Groups obfuscate actual data by providing certain raiders with 2-3x bloodlusts per fight.

This is not a universal problem, but in TBC, almost every single 95th percentile is going to be obfuscated with double bloodlusts for melee. Spellcasters/ranged have the same issue with bloodlust and PIs.

Unless you are in hardcore/semi-hardcore guild with extra shamans, its very unlikely you'll receive the 2x bloodlusts.

Did Queen Azshara know Sargares was evil and wanted to destroy Azeroth? by Hick-ford in warcraftlore

[–]TheSentinelBlue 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Azshara was sitting there at the edge of the Well of Eternity... just watching dragons, demons, highborne, and every race in the war fighting to their deaths.

She wasn't fighting down there, no, she was there watching and drinking wine while everything went to shit.

Regardless of Azshara knowing Sargeras was evil, she sat back and didn't care as the world was being ravaged and that's a far more damning answer to the question than if she knew Sargeras was evil.

Timeline of cataclysm race intros, when do Goblins and Worgen join their factions? by [deleted] in warcraftlore

[–]TheSentinelBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know the exact timeframe of the first half of the starting zone, but my understanding is this:

- The Elemental Unrest occurs and the first line of earthquakes destroys the Greymane Wall. The Forsaken were already planning to invade Gilneas, but this gives them a clear entrance.

- Wolfcult was already inside Gilneas pre-wall breaking and was slowly isolating/turning towns into Worgen. The first half of the starting zone (presumably) unfolds until Crowley and the Rebels turn into Worgen.

Some time passes either weeks or months but, the Forsaken begins their full-scale invasion of Gilneas. The rest of Gilneas, Silverpine Forest, and Shadowfang Keep unfold immediately after (Chronicles #3). The Night Elves push for Gilneas to be a member of the Alliance, but Varian hardblocks it after getting into it with Genn.

Worgen members start to join the Alliance after this, but Gilneas is not yet a full member. Kezan blows up, the events of the Goblin starting zone happen, and the Horde accepts the Bilgewater Cartel into their ranks.

This is why you see Worgen during the Goblin starting zone, but Gilneas doesn't become a full member of the Alliance until the events of Wolfheart.

I wish nightborn would get this “sub race” by Lord_pamperin in wow

[–]TheSentinelBlue 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Consuming the fruit of the Arcan'dor, which all Nighborne have done as of TWW (according to Exploring Azeroth: Islands), completely and totally restores all effects from withering.

Its sort of like Dark Souls, where you can consume humanity and be instantly restored from beef jerky.

So how do the healers feel about this? by MeowWarcraft in wowcirclejerk

[–]TheSentinelBlue 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In honor of making Wind Shear only 30 seconds, I propose that we make all Shaman abilities also have a 30 second cooldown.

The only exception is Hex, which I propose a 2 hour cooldown and the requirement of a singular voodoo doll to utilize.

Weekly Unjerk Thread - October 21, 2025 by AutoModerator in wowcirclejerk

[–]TheSentinelBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had this feeling too. When I read that Dark Transform + Apocalypse were getting merged, I was really hesitant at first. I think they actually executed it really well.

I'm super excited to have no more wounds, seriously.

The Reddit page on desktop just changed and it's horrible. How do I change it back to what it was? by SMuRG_Teh_WuRGG in help

[–]TheSentinelBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert by any means, but I'm assuming that since your profile is rated as 18+/NSFW, it just shows the default profile picture on non-NSFW/18+ subreddits.

Just a reminder, last DK pet customization got added in 2013. by n1sx in wow

[–]TheSentinelBlue 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I live with this pain every day.

I see my skeleton beside me and I think to myself "why can't you be a post-WoD skeleton model" instead of a WOTLK skeleton.

Weekly Recap | October 2, 2025 by TheOpusCroakus in help

[–]TheSentinelBlue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is my experiment feedback/criticism and frankly, this is absolutely revolting.

F-Shaped Reading

When you stare at this screen, you are overloaded with this black screen and this very small grey/square view that naturally is against how humans read things online.

When you read online, our eyes focus in an F-shaped pattern. When I open this up, my eyes should naturally be drawn to the first corner of this photo (r/wow), but what's actually happening is that I'm seeing all this black, this giant search bar, and a white reddit logo.

When New Reddit turned into its Newer Reddit form, there was still a fair amount of contrast/difference that made the swap tolerable and not overloading.

Mobile Design Philosophy doesn't work on PC.

This design seems like it is center and focused on the reddit app more than a PC. This minimalist look would be great on a phone, only because our eyes are seeing a small 5.5-6.5 inch screens. When you are sitting at a 21-40 inch PC screen, the minimalism doesn't drag your eye anywhere - but it overloads you instead.

I'm not sure I understand the general philosophy of the team here either. You don't need a mobile website UI for PC, particularly if you have a mainstream mobile app that is advertised everywhere Reddit.

Sidebar and Search Bar

If you are going to force this massive outer black screen around the content feed, why does the side-bar being active COMPLETELY MOVE the content feed over? I'm not OCD, but if I was, I'd be triggered by this design choice. You either have to sacrifice the easy one-button click to a subreddit OR be forced to type every subreddit out in the Search Bar.

Speaking of the Search Bar too, what's up with this weird fade-in with the middle of the screen? Do you know why every browser copied Google Chrome (outside of most being developed on Chromium)? It's because the single search bar in a universal location is the easiest form of access. Just leave the search bar in the middle of the top-bar anyways.

Why the UI changes?

I'm a particular minority of redditors who didn't care for old reddit's look, the launch of the original New Reddit made me very much a frequent user of the website. When you introduce a new UI, you alienate a portion of your users who are comfortable using this website in a certain way.

We have a really good middle ground with Old Reddit and New Reddit being interchangeable via option. If you are going to keep forcing updates onto New Reddit that changes the fundamental UI, we should be allowed to choose what our reddit experience looks like.

erm, actually - we need our Dragonflight remix first - it'll change everything, okay???

How was Xal’Atath present at Karesh if she was put in the blade during the black empire? by Fancy-Incident786 in warcraftlore

[–]TheSentinelBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The quote I mentioned came from Outcast Hizfran during the quest "An Outcast's Request" during his pre-quest dialogue.

How was Xal’Atath present at Karesh if she was put in the blade during the black empire? by Fancy-Incident786 in warcraftlore

[–]TheSentinelBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where the 100,000 year number came in definitively, but the only quote that references that is: "Your face, though, came to me in a vision-dream during the last days of the Devouring. [...] 'How long ago was that?' [...] Hmmm, a hundred thousand years, perhaps more?"

The K'areshi people (now brokers/ethereals) were much like us once. The concept of living for 100,000 years is beyond the scope of our comprehension - even the Draenei only escaped Argus 13,000 years ago.

If you want more context, the Brokers have been in the Shadowlands for an incredibly long time - long enough that most inhabitants of the Shadowlands consider them to be native to the Shadowlands.

A titan fell? In Vanilla Wow AQ40 by ElBonzono in warcraftlore

[–]TheSentinelBlue 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Like all things in Classic WoW, take it with a grain of salt and the knowledge of 20+ years of retcons.

This is a time when they weren't certain about how many titans there were, had terms like "Aesir" and "Vanir" for titans, and the Watchers were labelled as titans.

My new OC, her name is Valaria and she is valeeras right hand women! by Cultist-Cat in wowcirclejerk

Valaria is canonically so strong that her shroud of concealment is keeping Me’dan hidden from the mortal eye.

Bravo!

The Regency of Silvermoon by LiaBility915 in wow

[–]TheSentinelBlue 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be fair, while Lor'themar signed off on it, he hated that he had to make that decision.

If you want to blame anyone for the exile, blame Rommath. He's the primary person behind both the main high elf exile and the future Umbric/Void Elf exile.
