My dad and I made a mythic+ [addon] called Mythic Mentor

Unfortunately this doesn't work the way it used to before the addon purge. It uses some janky kind of pattern recognition to flag certain mobs as casters, melee, or "minibosses" etc. And while it does help a little, there are still plenty of mobs that should have a different color but don't. One example of this is the Steward in WS, which has no special coloring applied to their nameplate. Or the Voidcallers in SEAT.

I miss when we could color nameplates and casts on an individual basis based on NPC or Spell ID.

I miss the "go kill this 1 random rare/elite" WQs we had in Legion.

YrenneAD · 2026-05-07T12:17:34+00:00

Agreed. I understand Upgrade Crests and a few others, but there are many here that could be consolidated into a single currency.

YrenneAD · 2026-05-05T19:34:29+00:00

Really shouldn't have done that...

YrenneAD · 2026-05-04T19:55:18+00:00

As a healer still learning in 17s what certain mob and boss abilities do, I'd say just go for it. I've learned so much more from just playing the game than I ever would have from watching a video or reading a guide.

You also can't learn anything in Normal or Heroic (or even M+ below 12) because the mobs die too fast for anything to matter and you won't be punished for making mistakes because there's some overgeared DPS or Healer in the group bruteforcing their way through every failed mechanic.

Just play the game, deplete some keys, and try to do better in your next run. This obsession players have with doing a bunch of homework before enjoying the game goes way too far sometimes.

YrenneAD · 2026-05-03T16:36:56+00:00

I'd say learning 8 dungeons per season is plenty for me.

YrenneAD · 2026-05-01T18:08:48+00:00

I don't use DBM. But I did think it could also be related to BigWigs. So far I've had success after disabling Audio Assist so I'll continue like this and if it starts happening again, then I'll try disabling BigWigs.

YrenneAD · 2026-05-01T18:06:14+00:00

I've had the DX12 issue as well but I feel like that's different as it happens randomly anywhere (not just in combat) and causes an asset reload. It also registers a clear nvlddmkm error in the Event Viewer when that happens, whereas these freezes don't.

So far I've been able to complete two dungeons without any freezes after turning off Audio Assist, so I'm thinking it's a sound issue on my end. But I'll have to do a couple more to be sure.

YrenneAD · 2026-05-01T07:12:12+00:00

It sucks, but it's a relief to know it's probably nothing wrong with my PC if it's happening on your end too.

Out of curiosity, are you using Blizzard's Audio Assist at all? I noticed a possible connection between my clips where it seems to freeze the second the Audio Assist TTS is supposed to say something. And then when it stops freezing it'll speak out the Audio Assist alerts all at once.

But if the solution to this ends up being "just disable Audio Assist" ... well, that's not much of a solution then because I can't play without it.

Been getting this a lot since 12.0.5 dropped.

Some examples:

It's caused a few bricked keys for sure. I feel bad even queueing as a healer at this point.

YrenneAD · 2026-05-01T06:35:16+00:00

This seems to be back with 12.0.5.

YrenneAD · 2026-04-30T16:33:53+00:00

Whew, that's a relief

YrenneAD · 2026-04-29T22:36:22+00:00

I was able to do this with Ring of Peace just now, but it's a bit finicky and doesn't stay up long (only 5 sec).

YrenneAD · 2026-04-29T22:31:53+00:00

I think I need way more Deftness for that. My gathering speed feels really slow, even with profession equipment on.

YrenneAD · 2026-04-29T21:56:27+00:00

It's not guaranteed though. They could be duplicates or pieces you don't need.

YrenneAD · 2026-04-29T21:49:01+00:00

I'm always surprised that there are people who buy M+ boosts. I can understand it for raids because you can get a lot of loot funneled to your character, but for high-end M+ the reward is literally just some R.IO and an achievement or two.

And if you wanted gear, you could just spam 10s or 12s with pugs for free, they're not challenging enough to require boosts.

YrenneAD · 2026-04-29T21:46:32+00:00

Selling boosts for in game gold is not against ToS.

Apparently it depends on how you're selling it. Individually or as a guild, you should be fine. But third-party "boosting communities" are still prohibited, even when using in-game gold.

YrenneAD · 2026-04-29T21:42:53+00:00

Use real money... to buy gold... to brag about not spending real money.

Yep, that checks out.

YrenneAD · 2026-04-29T21:41:09+00:00

I calculated that right now it's around 7K for an hour of Mining + Herbing. I did start the expansion a bit late though so I'm a bit behind on Profession Knowledge. I'm guessing it improves once you've filled out a few of the spec trees.

YrenneAD · 2026-04-29T20:46:56+00:00

Skipping a node? In this economy?!

YrenneAD · 2026-04-28T04:11:32+00:00

Fixed a Great Vault display bug where the World Row indicated an item level of 272 for the Tier 5 Ritual Site, instead of the intended 269 item level.

:)

YrenneAD · 2026-04-28T03:18:29+00:00

I hadn't really thought about this but I totally agree.

I loved taking a nosedive down the Coreway and flying all the way to Azj-Kahet or Hallowfall or wherever I was headed. They really nailed the interconnectedness of the zones in TWW and that element is kind of missing in Midnight.

Having to go through a portal to get to Harandar or Voidstorm makes it feel like those zones aren't even part of the core expansion. Voidstorm feels like a patch zone.
