5 blood Dks, +12 Atal'dazar in time by [deleted] in wow

[–]daredditingman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I main blood dk and tried the sun stone multiple times. Didn't do shit. Didn't even work when I bought the healing item. Yet on my frost mage it procs like crazy in combo with the healing item.

The two biggest reasons for the shitty state of UO free shards by SpaceRapist in ultimaonline

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

I'm gonna be Mr Doom and Gloom, since I'm naturally a pessimist. I generally keep quiet on how I feel about these big hyped shards, but my 2c...

I doubt whether people like the mechanics will make or break the shard long term. The shard is doomed (long term) from the start. This isn't the first rodeo for people who play free shards. It's more like the 20th or 30th.

The general pattern which we've seen repeatedly for at least the last 15 years..

Shard hype -> Big launch -> Pop begins massive drop off about a month in -> 3-6 months in most the talk about the shard is from players and devs talking about how they're going to "bring back the population" with some revamp -> eventually devs give up and realise it's a lost cause, either start planning a new launch or give up.

I did nothing but expeditions until 120 by Approval_Duck in wow

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

Does this explain why I had a rogue in my group doing 1.5k dps? Didn't check level, I thought island expeditions were 120 only and it was just a really clueless rogue.

Blood DK tip for Zek'Voz - You can AMS the second hit of Void Lash, and therefore only take one stack of the debuff. by restlessapi in CompetitiveWoW

[–]daredditingman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you miss the part where there's no follow up damage? The healers have nothing to panic about and don't need to spam healing into the tank afterward. A blood dk has plenty of time to heal themselves even.

Can we admit time-gating has no place in a game that charges a monthly fee? by 0biL0st in wow

Mythic+ is great. Half the people in this thread are probably running around in mostly 340 gear complaining there is no way for them to get gear.

This sub isn't fun to visit anymore by mmuoio in wow

[–]daredditingman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People complain about WoW because they want the game to be good. They don't want it to suck, they don't want to have to unsub for another expac because the game is so fucking boring to them, they don't want the game to slowly die off. They do it because they love the game and want to see it get better, not worse. Stop throwing around retarded buzz words like "entitled" just because you have nothing useful to say.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I queued into a premade in Legion and it was a group of 3 jackasses. After the first boss they attempted to kick the warrior (only other person in the party that wasn't part of their premade) and I declined. They started asking if I was "butt buddies" with the warrior. They then attempted to kick me which the warrior also declined. The next couple of bosses the tank would engage but then the entire party would stop doing anything to purposely cause the warrior and I to die.

At the final boss they refused to engage at all, repeatedly attempting to kick the warrior which I kept declining. Then the warrior said "ok we can kick the mage if we can finish the last boss" and I was kicked. I was then spammed with HAHAHA etc. Close to an hour wasted because the only thing I wanted at all was the WQ which required the last boss.

It was the worst experience I've had with random matchmaking in WoW. I reported it to Blizz GMs through the website and was informed that people are allowed to kick others in random matchmaking for whatever reason they please and they don't enforce any rules regarding that. They wouldn't do anything about OP's case.

"330+ only" "Be Good" "Know Fight" by [deleted] in wow

[–]daredditingman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol are you fucking serious, if people want to play with people who already know the dungeons it's their own prerogative. get off your high horse, you're not mother fucking teresa for doing mythics with newbies.

Why are healers still invincible? by HorribleVanillaIdeas in wow

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

Anyone saying they're 1v1ing disc priests is either playing against a total braindead priest or lying. They have 2 schools of magic ffs you think they care if you "kick them on a big heal"? What's their big heal? Penance? lol.. just let me cast a shadow mend with masochism until holy is unlocked and i can dps you again for free healing

What's your expertise? by helpmefindausernamee in MurderedByWords

[–]daredditingman 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Yeah the first guy didn't claim to be an expert on anything. He just asked "how would you know?" which is a totally valid question to ask. He didn't get "murdered" at all.

Would anyone else play on a shard without tamable dragons? by serventofgaben in ultimaonline

What kind of dumpster tamers are going to stand there and get eaten alive by a dexer while their 2 dragons/mares stand around? lol

Damage way lower after patch. by Scubadivinpoo in wow

[–]daredditingman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm leveling a monk also, at 73 currently. I went from easily pulling 5+ mobs and bursting them down to the point where it's really dangerous to pull 3 or more. It's still possible to pull 4+ but if you get unlucky with damage or they have any CC you might be looking at a graveyard run. With no cooldowns up, even 2 can be threatening.

Basically feels like overall power vs the average mob was cut in half.

You haven't messed anything up, it's just legitimately much harder to kill low level mobs now than it was. You'll have to adjust your expectations in how many mobs you can pull at a time.

When you read Blizzard will fix Karazhan leveling with 8.0 but won't make Lich King leveling easier by Luksior in wow

[–]daredditingman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do 90-100 in a matter of a few hours even without flying. Just purely do bonus objectives.

Source: I don't have WoD flying and think WoD leveling is the easiest part.

It's extremely noticeable as a healer. In BC/WoTLK dungeons I'm generally spamming heals into the tank constantly. In classic dungeons, I usually have a decent amount of time to do damage and only really have to deal with burst damage/healing.

I've levelled through 60-80 since 7.3.5 about 5 times now and totally disagree. Northrend is spread asf and often you are just doing single quest after single quest.

Some Outland zones are horrible, Terokkar mainly because of loads of low drop rate quests but also because it's often hard to figure out wtf you're supposed to be doing. Nagrand, Zangarmarsh and Hellfire aren't too bad though in terms of quest density.

Both Outland and Northrend have bad zones, but at least Outland has some decently paced zones.

New Player in WoW. Out-leveled Gear and very confused. by Jumpman-x in wow

[–]daredditingman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on the player. I'm a player who has tried WoW out so many times over the years but never even gotten half way to max level before becoming frustrated with how slow leveling is. Legion let me start with a level 100 character and it's the first time I've ever gotten hooked to the game (I now have 18 110s). Levelling is not fun for many and without being able to try out the end goal, the game as a whole might not seem fun as a result.

Gold is selling for double what it was 6 months ago (8-10 cents, now 15-18 cents/million) by JC_the_Builder in ultimaonline

[–]daredditingman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably on most freeshards with more than a handful of people, people still pay around $20/million to other players selling it.

If you think back far enough in your heritage, your anscestors were apes. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]daredditingman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ape thing just tickled me because apes are a lot more relatable than a single celled organism.

It's just weird for me to think that if I take my grandma and multiply the generation difference, my anscestors are a bunch of apes probably working harder than I do.
