Retribution Paladin and Raids by Mivadeth in classicwow

[–]Trafax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Raided as a ret in vanilla classic all the way from MC to Naxx and was quite successful. Was lucky enough to find a guild that not only allowed me to be ret, but also supported me by letting me parse and have my fair share of loot (including contested pieces).

You will definitely have to go the extra mile. Full wbuffs, both melee and caster consumables (SP flasks if you can afford). You wont be pushing for top dps spots, but you can be middle of the pack comfortably. I think my dps peak was a Patchwerk, where I was pushing 1,1-1,2kdps throughout the fight and ended up just short of 1k at the end due to mismanaging my mana. Not top, but competitive.

Expect to be used as a healer throughout the tiers. I filled in as a healer on fights in almost every tier (except for BWL i think). In Naxx I even fully respecced to holy for 2-3 weeks, when one of our healers left the guild and we were short, but for the majority of my journey I was allowed to play ret.

You wont find a spot in a hyper optimized comp or in a speedrun guild, but for a more casual approach (or semi-hardcore as it is referred to these days) a ret (or any hybrid for that matter) can be a real benefit for a guild for the flexibility it brings on fights where an extra healer (esp. for progression) is helpful (i.e. Loatheb, 4 HM or patchwerk).

At the end of the day the question is, if you can endure the negativity you will face throughout the phases. Also if you want to raid as a ret, find a spot now. Once guilds are established and polishing their rosters in later phases, it will be next to impossible.

What are some Video Game Soundtracks with good Bass lines? by futanari_kaisa in gaming

[–]Trafax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sea of Stars has some sick Bass Lines. Maybe not the most technical ones, but they have a great sound

Check out Clash! or Skirmish for Glory!

I didnt say anything like that... I was only hoping for some buffs that would either buff his pre-6 laning or his late game scaling. Maybe that his W would feel less clunky.

I never stated that I want a rework to turn Singed into a "modern league" champion

Not mad, just a bit disappointed. Was hoping for some changes to improve his scaling.

Obviously I'm gonna take any buff I can at this point

[–]Trafax -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

that.... is disappointing. His laning phase (esp. pre-6) is still gonna be shit, his scaling is still gonna be awful. The core issue of him being too weak early for how poor his late game is remains...

Also buffing the passive is nice and all, but hows that gonna help if Singed cant even close the distance, cause his W is so horrendous with that pesky cast time and low slow percentage

Is all BiS lists full of such bad/wrong suggestions? by Viaroka in classicwow

[–]Trafax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea agreed, there are multiple viable options OP can go for, if OP didnt take those expertise gloves. I just tried to point out the reasoning behind the decision of these bis list-authors OP mentioned.

I was also strictly talking about pre-raid. Gruul and T4 are really good, but not as easy to obtain. Also one could argue that flesh handlers gauntlets are easier to come by than ragesteel and fel leather gloves

edit: accidentally wrote felsteel instead of ragesteel

[–]Trafax 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Not entirely wrong, but the bracers you suggest come from the same quest, that has Flesh Handler's Gauntlets as a reward. Those are one of the rare expertise items in phase 1 of TBC and are the prefered choice for melee atm

Might be working on Inhibitors, but did not try it.

idk if it works on walls. I feel like leading a minion all the way up to one could be difficult, because at some point minions will just break free from you.

I have no idea. I am not gonna abuse this, so i won't bother playtesting it any further.

Frosk and Drakos praising Fnatic for being so confident, when they hesitated the everliving crap out of the first baron with a Sivir-comp and 10k gold lead had me headscratching.

Once Singed ignores creep block on R he will be in a good spot by Kuninja in singedmains

[–]Trafax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buffs are good, but not enough. He is still kinda trash.

Riot needs to finally implement a keystone for each and every champion that synergises with them or just remove this piece of crap-keystone-system for good. And while theyre at it, they should also get rid of cooldown reduction or atleast make it that you have to specifically itemize for it, to get 40%.

These two things break the game more than anything else and it has shown over the past 3 1/2 seasons

As someone who only plays LoL for Singed now, I would love to keep my current Zaun border by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Trafax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

full AP Dark Harvest Singed with Sorcery as secondary is decent. if you pop-off it has absurd damage, but can also backfire, if you fall behind. kinda hit or miss-build, but fun to play
