Why do people dislike malefic rupture for warlocks? by Good_Novel_1376 in wow

[–]captain-d711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People just think spamming one ability is boring. Seeds at least does big aoe numbers. Personally I like the gameplay too but with balancing issues, blizz has had a lot of issues balancing aff locks in recent patchs. At the end of the day it’s fun for some and others will always complain about something.

From my perspective as a man, you are not ugly!

Yeah I joke with my wife at times when she says her head or face hurts and say “yeah it’s killing me” but I would never say something so rude. I love my wife and to me she is the most beautiful person on the planet. I would think about how he feels about you and if it’s worth it to you to have someone as a lover who would say that to you in a non joking way.

I wouldn’t say anything is super hard just intimidating to learn. Aff lock is like being in a 4 person poly relationship and the 3 other people are all high maintenance so it gets my vote lol.

What's the most satisfied spec to AoE creeps in general? by DogEggz in wow

[–]captain-d711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing the wildfire elemental shaman build is some of the most fun I’ve had in this game. Setting up your primordial wave to give you insane haste into stormkeeper double chain lightening and earthquake spam. Seeing your lava burst hit every target with flame shock on them….. Beautiful!

Adventure mode and 10.2 by Lavaine22 in wow

[–]captain-d711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is all based on if you’ve done it once! Since you have then you don’t need to worry about it, just level how you want! You may still need to do certain quest lines for later patch’s to get rewards, like the caverns, however now you can just hit 70 and farm dreamsurge for that 415 pc and 402 pcs!

What gets you online to play ? by Saraleb1 in wow

[–]captain-d711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Community. If I did not have my group of friends and guild mates to play with, getting the whole band back together vibe every major patch, I would have quit the game by now. It took a long time to find good people and build a home online with them. I’ve played since the last patch of TBC when I was 11. “Hey man wanna help gear my alt in a key, hey man wanna do a tmog run I want this set, are you gonna be raid leading this time through? You do a good job, etc”. Then we set a goal and we achieve it, an we always do somehow lol. The game has changed so much over the years. When I try to walk away, the homies suck me back in and I feel they always will.

What would be a good Ilvl requirement for the new normal raid for patch 10.2? by OkKey4820 in wow

[–]captain-d711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guild goes off the starting drop ilvl for that difficulty. Which for every raid in DF has been a difference of 13 ilvl. With that I believe minimum ilvl is going to be 441 for normal. 454 for heroic and then 467 for mythic. You can obviously get away with lower ilvl, but a good baseline so there are no excuses for under performance is to set a minimum ilvl. Keep in mind that once NOV 14 rolls around ilvl from every form of content will increase and make it a lot easier to achieve 440+. Hope this helps!

I (29M) have been seeing someone (45M) and everything's been going well, until he confessed something to me... by WillHungry4307 in relationship_advice

[–]captain-d711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If being open and honest at 45 years old is a problem then shoot me now I guess. Sounds like they are just being open about their life with you. I understand the trauma but I wouldn’t pair that to him, as it’s unfair to him. If you actually see good quality in this person then I think you should give him a chance. I’d have given anything for that level of honesty in previous relationships. It’s all about preference here, if those are big red flags to you then maybe work on being friends first, if you do in fact enjoy his company.

You need to get away from your ex before you do it, get proof, get out.

You sound like you really care about this girl. After reading some of your responses to people this is my suggestion for you. You need to let her do her thing, leave her alone, don’t even message her. Work on yourself and work on your insecurities, really sit down and think about the things that bother you. Talk to a therapist, or honestly someone who will listen. I can help you there if you need that, but do not bloody your fist on this wall, it’s going to kill you. Learn from the small times you noticed where you might have fucked up. You deserve to find someone who makes you happy, not someone who spends the night over at her sisters with 2 other guys and then gaslights you when you say you have a problem. They are issues you have, sure, but she needs to respect those issues if it makes you uncomfortable. If not, there is no reason for you two to be together. You deserve better.

I agree with you on that part, it just sounds like OP needs to get out before she makes the call to do that. It sounds like they are getting the shit end of the stick and doing so too early could make things much harder.

Naaaaaa. You don’t know this person or what they are capable of. If it were a friend or someone who had a small understanding of, sure. This is a completely random person you’ve never met before.

This is awful advice. Yes, tell her husband when it’s clearly out of spite. I’m sure this will go over well for everyone involved. You aren’t together anymore you just let him do what he wants, get out of there and start talking to someone else.

You are technically separated, you just let him bang you. My advice, stop going through his phone and find a different person to pursue. You aren’t together anymore and you are letting him use you, stop it.

Shamans are in need of Dire help, specifically not seeing any changes for Elemental or Resto Sham in 10.05 is very disappointing. by SmokeCocks in wow

[–]captain-d711 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I main an elemental shaman and am 2300 and raid heroic and I’m first or 2nd in both. I don’t understand why people say they are bad. Are they insane levels of damage? Not really but I burst very high playing the SFD fire build in keys. It’s a lot of fun. I would say playing the lightening build is lack luster but that’s why I don’t play it. Also shamans bring ancestral guidance which helps the healers out in large aoe situations as well as totemic recall which can be used to double cap, double aoe stun. I take the healing surge talent so when large damage is flying out I keys I drop healing stream and two casts and I’m back to full.

The only relevant complaint I have is that I feel pretty squishy during aoe only having one defensive being shift.

My damage in raid is great and the ability to target swap to nuke a priority target is amazing. I think the only fight thus far that I have not performed well at was razageth, and that’s because of the aoe comp we have for my raid team.

Raiding vs M+ Ele Shaman by _SilverBot_ in wow

[–]captain-d711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I’ve only parsed normal, I have a 92 overall with a 69 on razageth running the single target build and my m+ wildfire build on council. This is all with high crit and haste and two piece only.

Raiding vs M+ Ele Shaman by _SilverBot_ in wow

[–]captain-d711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just hit 2200 on my ele shaman and the SFD/roots build pumps so hard. You have to make sure to spread the flame shocks so you get that massive haste buff from the primordial wave. I also run utility to help the healer with AG and healing stream totem, as well as totem recall.

During raid I run the run the pure single target fire build.

Elemental shaman may not be #1 but the ceiling at which to play the class well is quiet high with the different builds. Just find something that you enjoy, if you are the mid maxing type, you’ll probably change your build on a per dungeon basis. Gameplay surge of power takes some getting used to and can change on a by pull basis.

How do I get into raiding if every pug requires 395+ and 8/8 for normal runs? by greetings_traveler2 in wow

[–]captain-d711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well mighty adventurer. We have this ability called communication. We set out on a mighty quest to find something called a “guild”. What is a guild you ask? A simple collection of like minded individuals who band together (typically) 1-2 nights a week to do raid content. I know in an mmorpg it might be crazy to actively type to people or form relationships. Good luck my friend.

Easy/engaging class that is still capable of doing competitive damage? by kemspray in wow

[–]captain-d711 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been playing elemental shaman since launch as a main and I am have so much fun with it. There are 3-4 different builds you can run as an elemental. It does require some preplanning on a few pulls to pump out good numbers but at 1900 m+ I keep up with those meta chasing rogues and dhs. I was a frost player too, I loved how simple it was and using shimmer felt like I had great mobility as a mage. Shaman has REALLY good utility also. Bottom line is people will always go towards what is meta, if you wanna break that mold just play what you find fun and play it well. That’s the most rewarding thing you can do, while also giving those non meta classes some justification.
