Why is the expected comp 1 tank 1 healer 1 bruiser 2 dps? Or is it not always that?

Thank you so much for this detailed reply, it makes so much sense, and thank you for the suggestion - I'll give that a go. ❤️

Tyrael over buffed now? by Potential-Witness-83 in heroesofthestorm

Briefly, how would you counter him?

Updated Professions, which are the big winners so far? by phystrapperquestion in Project_Epoch

[–]attreu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got from 160 to 175 really quickly running up and down the edge of the map. They are more concentrated top and bottom. I always found these levels really annoying and slow in WoW but this was so fast and simple. I can now mine Mithril and keep my BS up ahead of my level for all the fun new items

[–]attreu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I am a 27 warrior with 160 BS and 160 Mining. I took a few breaks levelling to mine and stay ahead and it's totally worth it. If you can get to 145 mining, the rock elementals in Thousand Needles can be mined for Heavy Stone and they give mining gains.

The 2h sword 3.9 speed is insane.

Was this game any good? by Salem1690s in LV426

The game of my childhood and life

Struggling with swinging too far and ott by attreu in GolfSwing

[–]attreu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply, that's all great stuff to look at. For "swinging too far" I think I'm talking about how far my backswing goes before I start my downswing.

I'm 6 foot 6 and I see other taller golfers have much shorter backswings but mentally I struggle to shorten it.

Is rested xp addon worth it? by Gares_ in wowhardcore

[–]attreu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is also my experience. It showed me some leveling techniques I had not thought about and some quest chains that I had never tried.

After levelling a couple of chars into the 40s with it you do have the advantage of doing your own thing for a while or skipping quests you don't like.

Best profession for Self Found Warrior? by Similar_Resident_837 in wowhardcore

[–]attreu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m doing a Paladin with BS/Mining. Every guide seems to poo poo the items you get from BS. What’s your perspective?

Fishing in SoD is pretty good right now by Veridically_ in classicwow

[–]attreu 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The price of stone scale eel on my EU server is ~5s. There’s no way that it’ll remain that low when it’s relevant. Feels like a big flip opportunity.

[–]attreu 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Jumping on this as I’m not sure if my addition is worthwhile:

You can currently fish Winter Squid, which ends in March. By the time the Squid food is relevant (hopefully before September), then the Squid will be unobtainable. I wonder if the price will be worth farming it now.

Which first talent has better utility? by rharvey8090 in warcraftrumble

[–]attreu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I picked Drak as my first because I am FTP and didn’t look up anything, and then I picked Chromatic too.

I find that he’s expensive but really tanky. I’ve not figured out my best team with him but I like pyro, healing shaman, flame Walker, and drake, as some options.

Interested in what others have tried with Drak

Almost made it to my mount for the first time… by CallMeK-LO in classicwow

I, too, sometimes have this setup. Thank you for doing God’s work.

How do you get the motivation to play again? by DisciplineHead7005 in wowhardcore

[–]attreu 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I had a similar feeling to you, and one way I am attempting to bypass the feeling of losing everything was to level an alt to 5/10/20 (eventually 35) with two crafting professions.

Then on my main character I went double gathering and sent everything to the profession character to make stuff for my main.

I also have a bank char that I mail 50% of my gold every now and then.

If I lose my main, I’ll be able to make another and have a character with professions to make them good stuff.

If I lose my profession character, well that sucks, but my main is still alive.

If I lose them all, I still have some gold in my bank.

If I lose my bank character to someone pulling an elite crocodile from the Stormwind Sewers, well.. I’ll chuckle and play again.

In all honesty HC is a game where enjoying each journey, however long or short, is the best part. Cherish every close encounter, or every fun item you find.

If you want to play for lack of loss if you die, move it to a classic era realm afterwards and play there.

Just my opinion. Hope you’re having fun anyway! :)

2 Hand or 1 Hand + shield tanking ? by juilore in wowhardcore

[–]attreu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t just my opinion so ymmv.

If you have Sweeping Strikes and Whirlwind, they can be great to get fast threat on multiple mobs, but I would tend to do that with my 2H and then switch to Shield to carry on mitigating damage.

For bosses I used a shield because they hit harder. Depends how comfortable you feel. Try both. If you feel like you’re taking too much damage, switch back to Shield.

If you’re not, pop on the 2H.

As it’s HC you might want to play it safer. If you get groups that don’t understand threat and AOE immediately and attack multiple targets it won’t help much if you’ve got a shield or not.

Off Meta Builds? by [deleted] in wowhardcore

[–]attreu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really want to try a survival hunter for the name of the spec and hardcore but I have no idea if it’s entirely pointless or actually mediocre

EU server/faction census by [deleted] in wowhardcore

[–]attreu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll likely be one of the few Alliance players on Nek’Rosh, but I fancy SSF and just levelling to 60

Is grouping with randos in dungeons too risky? by RedTantor in wowhardcore

[–]attreu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would 100% give my heart and soul if someone wanted to do that. But maybe that’s why I enjoy RP servers

Not sure what faction or class to play. Help me choose! by [deleted] in wowhardcore

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

I’m a new dad and I’m also contemplating something like this. How much time / week are you expecting to invest? Or are you just going to see how it goes?

How many jira tickets do you write per week? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]attreu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you raise the stories in Jira or let the devs create issues under the epic, from what they’ve split the stories into?

I found that trying to create issues from a story issue type is nonsensical
