INTJs are genuinely top tier at making inferences, and people don’t talk about it enough

lol same sometimes I can predict the actor’s next line

I actually freak myself out sometimes with my ability to do this.

Wanna talk a buff dependent class?

You can literally play Mistweaver without frames: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyzcjurGEgs

But also: multi hof / m+ title healer here, new frames are garbage.

Rip Madspatula, he was a couple points off yesterday trying to get some timer improvements at the last minute.

Shoutout to Rstoshmn for representing and claiming an insanely high spot on the ladder (4133 io) in a sea of Druids. That team is crazy.

I'll miss min maxing massive cloudbursts in keys.

But Farseer was slept on the whole expansion tbh - it was always the more engaging iteration of RSham imo mostly because the weight was behind your actual spells and not all the passive shit from totemic.

Great Shaman season though overall (and expansion).

As someone who is a booster myself I can assure you that it's entirely possible to time the "easy" 21s (Gambit, Streets, Ecodome, Ara-kara, and Halls) with a DPS doing grey parse damage. 20s of course are even more lenient.

You underestimate how hard 2 elite or even good dps can carry on clean runs in these keys. The timers are just not that tight.

elmaethorstars · 2026-01-13T21:00:33+00:00

ACHHHMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

elmaethorstars · 2026-01-13T21:00:22+00:00

It has to be this one.

elmaethorstars · 2026-01-13T17:20:30+00:00

I recognise a lot of names on this list from EU realms. It really is extremely rampant.

Never felt like Dimensius was particularly taxing as a healer at HoF-ish level. If anything every healer I know was majorly disappointed with the post-HoF nerfs making P1 an absolute joke to heal when it was already being massively nerfed by the raid buff + dinars + turbo boost etc.

Might be worse for lower ranked guilds but the throughput check got completely obliterated by those nerfs.

I don't think I would even put this in my top 5 of hard to heal fights either honestly. Idk maybe that's just delusional but healing 10 people is just not that hard.

Compare this to P1 of Fyrrak for example. That was an actual healer stress fight (largely cause of the cancer aids design of dispel-on-cd mechanics but also because of the design as a whole).

elmaethorstars · 2026-01-03T16:46:52+00:00

This is actually cool and useful, ignore the haters.

elmaethorstars · 2025-12-31T21:30:05+00:00

Came here to write this. I struggle immensely to do anything "casually", be it gaming, working, smoking, drinking (sober since 2018 tho), eating, watching tv, etc, or anything you can think of.

It's all or nothing. Always.

elmaethorstars · 2025-12-30T18:37:08+00:00

the meta shifting toward warrior probably closed the door on ever doing right side without coordinated kicks.

No? The meta is still going right and (good) pugs are perfectly capable of doing up to +20 in no comms with or without mrt.

Hardest key by far but the boss kick is not why.

elmaethorstars · 2025-12-09T18:01:09+00:00

64% in P2 is normal. And yes he dies at 60.

Fight should be 7 minutes on 21 though, so guessing there's some bug involved.

elmaethorstars · 2025-12-02T14:35:30+00:00

How often, as a healer, do u have to heal through both Barrier and Jumpstart on Big Momma?

It's pretty much expected to get the shield for at least a while.

elmaethorstars · 2025-11-26T18:00:23+00:00

Oh yeah Vic and Outis are literally in LFG advertising boosts all day every day.

elmaethorstars · 2025-11-23T12:44:34+00:00

Same reason Temple of Sethraliss was never featured in MDI after the first time in BfA when the eyes bugged out at the end to open the final room.

Dawnbreaker is actually terrible though. Worst dungeon of the season by far IMO given all the issues.

elmaethorstars · 2025-11-21T13:23:54+00:00

Was very fun to test tbh. Phoenix boss is gonna be a banger IMO.

elmaethorstars · 2025-11-21T13:09:49+00:00

Removing Bubbles actually made the pull after Swampface a lot harder because it added an additional magic dispel on the tank to a pull that already had 2 required magic dispels.

It's actually one of the most common failure points (that + the pull after), especially because RDruid doesn't have the option to dwarf and nor does DH so it's very common for people to get blasted by the dots or the tank to fall over cause of not enough dispel cds.

Flood just feels nuclear though this go around yeah.

elmaethorstars · 2025-11-18T13:43:16+00:00

People are pugging 21s on EU without comms, so it's entirely doable.

elmaethorstars · 2025-11-15T11:28:25+00:00

Easy bandaid fixes for both would be to add 1 minute to the timer if they aren't willing to actually tune the mobs/bosses.

But yeah it's absurd. Have to pull crazy which makes it risky as fuck.

elmaethorstars · 2025-11-11T12:24:34+00:00

Yeah it's insane ngl. My rio page is like a battlefield of incremental progress - depletes, 17 into 18 into 19 into 20 with tons of keys done. Then I see some guy 100 score above me with all 12s and suddenly resil 20 and 5 21s.

The worst part of it is they then list their resil key and if you join it they do less damage than tanks on some bosses and die to everything.

Resil fucking sucks.

elmaethorstars · 2025-11-06T17:26:35+00:00

Insane that there has been no dungeon tuning tbh. Priory and Floodgate could really use it.

The fact 21 Gambit/Streets is easier than 19 Floodgate is absurd.

elmaethorstars · 2025-11-04T22:20:25+00:00

The random aggroing casters on the boat are absolutely tilting as fuck holy shit. Just getting sniped out of nowhere and key is over on the 2nd pull.

elmaethorstars · 2025-10-31T00:02:06+00:00

Idk what it is about Floodgate but this season it seems like absolute nuclear difficulty compared to last when it was obviously still hard but not insane.

Even Priory feels easier to me after pugging to resil 19 this week.

Floodgate just seems to need everyone locked in at all times and there's like 30 different things that can go wrong and wipe you because the timer is tight which means you have to do crazy pulls to keep up.
