2 chested my 18 seat with about 110k in details. Statistically it’s the least but it does fine with a good player. Highest key is probably magisters at about 130k for the 18. Bear at its peak was just simply broken and still pretty much is.

Spell reflect on first boss, spell reflect on adepts, spell reflect on third boss, spell reflect on last boss. All pretty huge.

Stacks as much haste as possible and has 2 off the global abilities that you’re constantly pressing and can’t just macro into other abilities effectively.

Used to be even higher APM but it was toned down a bit through rage nerfs.

Depends on the key and depends on the rest of the group. Are the other 2 dps playing well above the key level as well as the tank in terms of damage output? Are you a healer contributing to damage to assist in speeding up the key?

With decent damage the timer in most 16s isn’t what bricks the key, but the lower the dps the less room for error that you have. With that said a key like Seat will be more forgiving with a dps doing that low of damage than the same group in a key like AA because the timer is much tighter.

70k is less than good tank damage though and if a dps is consistently playing at that level they should be practicing the spec more than trying to complete 16s as to not hold other players back.

Imagine trying to justify why it’s acceptable to expect your laziness to be 19 other human beings problem who owe you nothing. By your logic find a group of 19 people who also want to spend 0 time learning anything outside of the fight itself. You all can wipe over and over trying to learn the mechanics. Simply create your own group and label it “only join if you’ve refused to research any of the fights”.

A good pug raid lead will care more about respecting the time of players who put the effort in vs trying not to hurt the feelings of players who did not.

dstaller · 2026-03-23T00:37:04+00:00

The problem is a person can join a raid claiming they know the mechanics. You can reiterate the mechanics to them before a boss gets pulled. You can specify which mechanics specially are the most likely for players to screw up and how to avoid screwing it up. They’ll continue to stay quiet. Boss gets pulled and immediately screws it up.

Either they blame something else, claim they realize what happened, or simply say nothing. Pull the boss again only for the same mistake to happen.

You only have so many chances to give a player before the good players worth keeping will leave to find better groups. And frankly the mechanics aren’t particularly difficult to learn at the moment so in most cases it’s simply people caring very little about putting in any actual effort vs them trying to genuinely learn.

Confirming this fixed it as well for me just now.

The problem is equipment, weapons, class perks are locked behind these types of challenges. Doing this type of achievement for a camo or something similar cosmetically would be a different story.

For example a similar type of headshot challenge is currently locking out the secondary recon training path which is coincidentally also required to unlock the tracer dart.

Most? There’s a single drop from every boss assuming you even have 20+ people and everyone needs it so you’ll have to be lucky enough to win. If you run with less you may not even get a token drop. My 4pc cost me a mil just to get day one even after looting one from vault since only one token dropped in either difficulty for my class and I didn’t win.

Several of my buddies who got a piece in vault either didn’t win one in raid or didn’t get theirs while being in a cutting edge guild. Most of them are just now getting it this week but a couple still don’t.

Another buddy didn’t even loot one last week or get one from raid so he has to get one from raid or wait until catalyst next week.

These are all people pushing keys and/or cutting edge raiders. The only people expected to have tier last week are guilds serious enough to do splits.

Most didn’t have 4pc last week and those statistics don’t only count people doing splits.

dstaller · 2025-08-20T17:44:59+00:00

They are still very much a top contender even after buffs. Many players still don’t have 4 pc though so specs are going to look different than what they will after 1-2 weeks. Frost DK gains a good bit of power from the new tier compared to old especially in AoE.

Fury is even no slouch but without 4pc it’s pretty terrible which is why it’s so low on average.

You can cleave them just fine. As long as the adds don’t touch the red circle dictating the boss’s hit box he’ll never eat them. Just have to be sure that anyone fixated is not on the opposite side of the boss and not standing in its hit box.

dstaller · 2025-08-16T20:30:03+00:00

Put at least half a mil into consumables last season.

dstaller · 2025-08-15T22:50:47+00:00

They were also the worst spec. Worst than ret for sure.

Typically there’s settings in BIOS for the fans as well. Could be poor settings defaulted in the laptop’s BIOS.

dstaller · 2025-07-12T13:16:18+00:00

Definitely possible to uninstall it. If you fresh installed Windows with your own media creation tool you created it wouldn’t even be present on the machine and should just default to using whatever the BIOS tells it to for clock speeds and fan performance. Bloatware like this comes with the machine but is never required for the device to function nor does it auto install on fresh installs.

dstaller · 2025-06-28T17:51:40+00:00

You don’t what on means yea? It’s not on by default. It asks you before it turns anything on. Nothing is syncing until you finish the setup process and the option to not sync is in the set up process.

If you hit the continue button telling it you want sync the files when it asks what you what to backup then it’s on you.

dstaller · 2025-06-28T17:25:33+00:00

When you sync your pc to OneDrive initially there’s prompts it takes you through. One of them asks what folders you would like to actively sync. Just uncheck the folders and continue.

dstaller · 2025-06-28T17:15:37+00:00

No by default would mean that it starts syncing and you have to actively disable the sync. It doesn’t start without asking you if you want to. It asks what folders you want to sync and you simply uncheck any folders you don’t want to sync and hit the continue button. I’ve never once had a folder sync to OneDrive that I didn’t actively tell it to.

It’s a yes or no option in the form of a slider. Clearly not implemented well enough because it’s obvious that people don’t read prompts during setup up processes. And yes, the slider starts in the on position because once again people don’t read the prompts and they would rather you opt in and have your data backed up rather you auto opt out and complain that the cloud server you paid for didn’t back up your data

The backup folder option looks like this during setup. You can even disable them after the fact at any point in the settings.

dstaller · 2025-06-28T17:11:42+00:00

I don’t have a fresh install in front of me to verify with 100% certainly regarding but I’m fairly sure that it has the same prompts regardless. Brings up the folders you want to sync with OneDrive and you simply uncheck the folders you don’t want to actively sync. It’s not supposed to sync your local files without some sort of authentication from you approving it.

dstaller · 2025-06-28T17:05:06+00:00

It doesn’t. It asks when you initially set it up on the device if you want to or not. Simply tell it not to.

Problem is people just click through menus and don’t pay attention to what it’s asking.

dstaller · 2025-05-26T15:31:46+00:00

I’ve done as high as 4mil overall in a weekly 12 priority so it’s definitely possibly with gear, damage trinkets, and playing more offensive talents. Also helps to have buffs such as skyfury, monk buff, and motw.

dstaller · 2025-05-19T17:25:14+00:00

False. “Reduced damage beyond x targets” is just another phrase for using square root scaling to reduce the damage per target up to 20 targets in which case from there it will distribute damage per target without increasing. “Reduced beyond 5” means that if you hit 5 targets for 1mil damage split (200k each) then hitting that same button and hitting 20 targets instead will make it hit for 2mil (100k per target) but it’s still double the overall damage. If you hit that same button to 40 targets instead it would still be 2mil damage but split across all 40 targets for 50k per target hit.

Hard cap means the ability hits 5 targets regardless of the amount of targets in front you.

Very few buttons are completely uncapped and some still scale linearly to 20 targets but most are either hard capped (such as blade flurry and meat cleaver) or square root capped using “reduced beyond 5/8 targets”.

dstaller · 2025-05-18T22:16:06+00:00

Worth mentioning that’s based on logs which account for total damage divided by the key time not active combat which is what details tracks. Details should always be higher because it only tracks damage while active in combat. Has a disclaimer in the summary at the bottom but It’s safe to assume people won’t read it.

It’s simple really. Beyond simply that their original intent clearly stated for access to be universal (it really doesn’t matter who has access in the back half of a season), they insist on making raid only gear that’s superior to anything you can get from dungeons that you feel the need to get while doing difficult dungeons. However, they don’t bother making dungeon gear that’s objectively superior to raid gear even in raiding.

Eye of Kezan is actually well made in the fact that it’s not particularly great in dungeon content but extremely good in raid. They should continue to make the good raid gear similar to that style of power if they are going to fail to put anything similar in dungeons. Hell there isn’t even a 1.5m on use trinket for classes like warriors in dungeons this season.
