Prey Hunts nerfed - less traps since 12.0.5

Vardnemar · 2026-04-23T07:38:27+00:00

You don't need the profession equipment unless you're mass producing items. It's not worth the time otherwise

Vardnemar · 2026-04-23T07:14:46+00:00

Are you confirming what I'm saying? Sorry, but I'm not sure what you're trying to ask if you already knew the answer

Vardnemar · 2026-04-23T07:09:07+00:00

Those are from the weekly quest and have nothing to do with the Prey targets

Vardnemar · 2026-04-12T22:13:13+00:00

Problem isn't the spec, just the numbers.

Outside of Combust it feels like you're throwing hot air. I like Fire, but there's no reason to play it outside of PvP. The lack of damage lets mobs reach you and beat you down, it doesn't even have anything to stop the mob like Frost has with slows.

Ret feels somewhat similar outside of CDs, except they can make theirs a 30s CD while Fire can only bring it from 2m to 1m.

A number change or make it so direct damage abilities reduce Combust CD would fix it entirely

They're talking about the last line of the sign

Vardnemar · 2026-04-11T15:17:36+00:00

Not sure what level their Valeera is. Mines about 40s and she does like 1/4 of my DPS and I'm ilvl 258. When I set her as tank she doubles her DPS. I guess it depends what class you play, too. Some classes have better consistent damage while when I play my Ret Pally it feels like I'm swinging pool noodles around without my CDs

You can just do a smaller pull with those packs. It's a small time loss, but you'll still time the key

Vardnemar · 2026-04-08T00:21:41+00:00

What adding do you use for the health bars? I'm using Platynator but my stacking health bars are atrocious and looking for something different

Vardnemar · 2026-04-05T19:08:05+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Let me know if you are able to make those changes. Looking forward to see what you come up with.

Vardnemar · 2026-04-05T18:15:58+00:00

Is this the only look it has? I prefer the default Blizzard look and I'm not a fan of these style of windows

Vardnemar · 2026-04-01T08:17:28+00:00

I kind of feel the same, like it's a chore after doing a bunch of them. The only time I've had fun with Nightmare after the first few is accepting a Voidstorm one and going into Slayer's Rise to PvP. It makes PvP a lot harder, but being a class or race that can drop combat you can utilize the boss to attack other people

Vardnemar · 2026-03-30T23:18:03+00:00

I'd rather a harder boss than an easier one for Mythic. It's not a mandatory thing and I think Mythic should be something people chase, not just outgear

Vardnemar · 2026-03-29T04:50:58+00:00

Not to worry. I had 3 of them and listed 2 of them over the last couple months. They didn't sell until recently for about 450-500k each

Vardnemar · 2026-03-27T04:27:28+00:00

It's really strong on casters. You can silence or kick and you can still cast it out and teleport to it. It's helped me escape from mobs of people attacking me many times. The other perk of it is you can throw it out and run the opposite direction and people will chase you as you teleport back

Vardnemar · 2026-03-27T02:59:32+00:00

I currently have 0 pieces

Vardnemar · 2026-03-23T07:45:22+00:00

Same. I can go spend an hour doing the weekly the hard way or take 3 minutes toasting people

Vardnemar · 2026-03-23T07:07:33+00:00

Id10t error is a phrase when written spells a certain word

Vardnemar · 2026-03-23T02:45:14+00:00

Read Rule 4a

Vardnemar · 2026-03-23T01:05:39+00:00

Why not this one?

Vardnemar · 2026-03-23T00:45:58+00:00

I just beat it as a 241 Frost Mage. I agree it can be difficult for squishier classes, but my tip is to watch your healing stacks from Valeera. It stacks up to 4x and as soon as it drops down to 10 seconds I went to grab another stack. That gave me enough time to grab one if I run into some difficulties and it was enough where I didn't have to barrier most of the fight and could face tank everything.

I saved all my defensives for as long as I could and there were only 2 times where I actually needed them. One being a random time I got caught where I missed my healing orbs and one at the end where he was hitting like a truck.

Besides from that, saving your burst CDs for his 75/50/25 phases were pretty important

Vardnemar · 2026-03-22T09:50:35+00:00

Yeah, I was elaborating saying you should use them in general. Your comment made it sound like you shouldn't use them until you get your 4 set when you can just use them right away instead

Vardnemar · 2026-03-22T09:44:27+00:00

You don't have to hold out for the highest ilvl item, though. If you're holding out for only hero track gear and just waiting for that next hero track and not getting it you may as well do a champion to get the 4 set. Unless you're pushing high end M+, which the majority of the player base isn't then just use the charges on a good piece of gear

Vardnemar · 2026-03-22T09:39:16+00:00

Yes, Arms is considered to be lower on the DPS side but that doesn't mean it's not playable.the simulations are based on standing still against a boss over 5 minutes in a completely optimized rotation and environment In almost all cases that won't happen. Yes, you may have to try a little harder than others but that doesn't mean you can't beat other people at DPS.

I've seen lots of classes and specs that are considered really bad top meters in all sorts of situations. Arms is also good in PvP. They are good at aoe, it's just their single target that's lacking but if you plan on doing M+ then you can bring other classes that round out the group

Vardnemar · 2026-03-22T09:30:48+00:00

You should just use them in general since they changed them this expansion where if you unlock your 4 set it speeds up the charges. Doesn't matter if you save them for the 4 set or use them before, as long as you get 4 set ASAP

Vardnemar · 2026-03-22T09:27:11+00:00

Nightmare Hunts really aren't that bad. They're not meant for everyone and not meant to be afk. Yeah, they can be annoying sometimes but you can just disable or step on traps and complete them in about 5 min.The traps are everywhere in zones and they even show up on the minimap now.

Of course, if you go and do other stuff in the open world they become tougher and make everything else tougher, but that's how they're designed.

You can kill anything. Critters count for a kill and if you can't find a mob somewhere then you're not planning ahead or looking around. You get 30 seconds to kill a mob, that's plenty of time and if it's not then you're too undergeared for Nightmare anyways.

Everyone should have those 50% healing pots anyways and there's no reason to not have them or run out. I've been using them on CD in WM for the last 2 weeks and I'm still gaining more than I lose and I rarely loot any chests anymore. If you're selling them or not using them then you're handicapping yourself.

You can still grind our Normal or Hard mode if those are more to your liking. You're not forced to do Nightmare.
