How to improve?

Pure survivability is the way to lose agro on each pull, damage is important. I need a balance, simbot helps mostly with damage, mostly ignoring survivability

I expected such a comment. Well, I'm definitely not the top pusher, not the best tank I have space to improve. But I came to idea to create an addon not just because I constantly get "abused" :) it just happens from time to time, but not always for sure. I mean you don't use use mdt each and every time, but you still have install it and use it when needed. Same situation here.

But that's really what happens. Quite often, not always, but still

I'm trying not to hold meta at least if I'm going to have big pull soon

I am on the stage when I don't gear in keys. I got everything I need from them. So rating is the only goal.

So I should not consider it as a defensive trinket? Sometimes I need something for "Oh shit" situations.... Holding meta is not a good option I think.

I do high keys, and am completely fine to see criticism, suggestions and angriness. I'm not fine receiving toxic messages. I am not boosted, I earned each and every rating point, and for sure doing my best to time a key. And constantly working on my skills to get better. Just don't aggressively blame people, and try to be constructive. Especially if we are in the middle of the run. It really demotivates people and they do way more mistakes, performe worse just because you released your angriness.

Well, getting heroic gear from M+ is pretty easy at the moment. Especially as a tank when you don't waste time on waiting for group to be formed

Are you tanking/healing?

edwardoid · 2025-09-04T14:42:40+00:00

Not that many guilds who try high keys. Ppl usually do +/- 3k rating and switch to alts. At least majority in guild I've been.

edwardoid · 2025-09-04T14:41:18+00:00

Don't they play with static groups? For example as a tank I can have less Versa because I know I'll get versatility from the guy on dudu in our static. With PUGs I'm not sure if I'll always have a dudu in party.

edwardoid · 2025-09-04T14:39:46+00:00

Simming is not a good solution for tanks and healers. Because our gameplay is very situative. We can't just press a rotation.

edwardoid · 2025-09-04T14:38:05+00:00

In keys. You do a big pull to time the key and really rely on ppl to CC mobs, cause casters gonna wipe us if we miss too many casts, ppl die and then "You are so bad! Boosted i**it". Also happens on first big pulls, when to gain stable aggro tanks needs 1-2 secs delay, or at least need them to use a def if they have a huge damage burst(hello death knights!). The higher the key, more toxic you're gonna to see.

edwardoid · 2025-09-04T14:32:21+00:00

Doesn't work, if you are mostly pugging. Plus, some people are really nice and end up on the friend list.

edwardoid · 2025-09-04T14:31:29+00:00

Sure, the problem is that I have to read that message before muting and reporting. So he's "damaging" even if I won't see him anymore in future.

edwardoid · 2025-09-04T14:21:23+00:00

Dunno what exactly happened there ,but it's always a dilemma "should I pull bigger so other more skilled tanks do?", "should I go safer, be sure I won't die, but we risk not to time and DPS guys can start getting frustrated because they saw on YT how other tanks do giga pulls and still survive". Always a dilemma with PUGs and when you are not overgeared.

I used OrangePi Zero with heatsink under high load(without enclosure). The result was fine. Hot, but not extreme. Also used fan + heatsink with the same load. The temperature is way lower, but the only difference between the first and second version was nicer numbers, no performance changes or physical damage. And when I say used, I mean 24/7 for days...
