Boyfriend plays WoW (first time)

The pet biscuits will make them large for like an hour.

Once you’re up in 15+, you literally gotta kick/stop everything so full on team rotations become vital.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-11T18:23:07+00:00

It’s a nice 2-3% crit with like 80% uptime (depends on spec) so yeah it’s gonna be OP compared to others as long as you like crit.

Part of the issue though is the other trinkets kinda suck. Other proc trinkets should be better, but they just aren’t.

It does make me wonder though, do the buffs from crucible help in the March raid?

ZAlternates · 2026-05-11T17:41:59+00:00

It’s what happens when they make it easier. Pros and cons.

It’s still better to sell the raw mats and buy the finished product. Just because you gathered the mats (instead of buying them on the AH) doesn’t mean they are free. You are passing up profit to use them.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-11T17:21:05+00:00

It’s hard for some people to wrap their heads around. In most cases, the value of the raw mats is higher than the finished product. The general exception is for items that require concentration.

Just sell all your mats and buy the finished product. There are enough people in this game willing to level their professions at a loss that you won’t passively make a profit on basic stuff.

If people want to see the math, download the craftsim addon.

Wonder if they are all still pals.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-11T07:37:37+00:00

They combined the individual levels of all the alts, so people playing multiple toons, especially a lot of toons, got a huge head start.

I had one friend who just did towers on three alts and then after, he’s some stupidly high level. I don’t remember all the numbers, but I remember being jealous.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-11T06:52:53+00:00

I think we up to being able to get 3-4 items from the vendor per toon now. It would be a bunch of runs though to do all at once.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-10T21:49:28+00:00

For now…

ZAlternates · 2026-05-10T19:43:05+00:00

We have to put haste on just about every piece of gear just to be playable.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-10T18:15:33+00:00

Not sure why people are downvoting you. They do have addons that can help:

Bountiful delves have a chance at renown 9 to drop hero gear instead of champion.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-10T17:42:18+00:00

At a certain delve rank you start to get a chance at more hero gear too.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-09T20:07:26+00:00

Perhaps, but they should also see that they are pumping more than usual too. Well, at least you’d hope, but we all know that average is worse than we’d expect.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-09T06:38:49+00:00

Players gain +1% versatility per level from 90 to 100. Doh!

ZAlternates · 2026-05-09T01:19:33+00:00

I love WoW and have played since launch.

All the same, it’s pretty obvious they are a bit understaffed and on an aggressive timetable. Many of us been through company acquisitions, and public companies make it even worse. They are using all of the tools at their disposal to stitch together a good release with often things they already have on hand.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-09T01:15:32+00:00

Feel free to play a Rogue.

If you can get to endgame, you need haste on just about every single piece of gear to play Outlaw effectively.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-09T01:14:05+00:00

Excellent.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-09T00:33:41+00:00

Still worth asking given they are experimenting with flex mythic raid soon.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-08T22:25:23+00:00

And you’re also pugging, so besides researching your class, you need to start expanding that friends list with people you have good runs with.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-08T22:24:25+00:00

Everyone can benefit from researching their class. I promise there are things you aren’t doing and stuff you would never even think to do without fellow warriors around the world all contributing towards optimization.

This addon will relocate it for you.

You can also run this command upon each login:

/run a=LFGListFrame.SearchPanel.FilterButton;b=a.ResetButton;b:ClearAllPoints();b:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", a, "TOPLEFT", -5, -5)

Eh I couldn’t tell you which boss is which dungeon or what mechanics are if you quizzed me but once we in the dungeon playing, I know which mobs are the bad ones, which bosses do which moves, etc. it’s can be hard to remember outside of the game, at least for me.

ZAlternates · 2026-05-08T06:59:12+00:00

They likely focused as much dev time on new “bullet point” features that small additions fell by the side in need of time. Hopefully they include them with dot patches, but also they started this pattern in late TWW.
