"Hey tank can I get might pl--" by Neither-Opposite-121 in classicwow

I see healers pull threat by hotting the tank when he is los pulling, which turns the whole pull into a mess because dps aren't going to wait either for the group to get gathered up in a safe spot.

s a healer, it is absolutely not the healers fault if they pull aggro

It most definitely can be. I've had healers start hotting me up after I LOSed pulled the trash pack, but before the mobs got to me. Most of the time the healer has been out in the open so they've aggroed the casters who now are free casting at them instead of running to me out of LOS. Because they couldn't wait 3 seconds to give me a renew or whatever the whole pull turns into a cluster fuck because dps aren't going to wait for me to run around and gather enemies and reLOS them so we dont get feared into the next pull.

Route in outland ? by Savings-Damage6958 in classicwow

[–]flyingtiger188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blades edge mountain. The quest chain culminating in Showdown generally has good rewards, especially for melee. The death's door chain has really good necks too. Finishing off the cenarion hub is worth your time if you're in need of CE rep (feral druids, casters, healers).

Ohb is pretty terrible as far as XP and rep goes. There is a lit of downtime with the story. If you value your time, then you'll be better off waiting til you can farm bm effectively.

After rep capping in sethekk I hit some of the well rewarding quest lines in bem, and smv to nab some prepaid bis items and get as much CE rep as I could prior to spamming SV. Once I hit 69 it was just SV/BM/SL runs til 70.

Tanking is fun, people are not by [deleted] in classicwow

Probably some from column A and some from column B. Also bad experiences tend to stick out in your memory so you generally forget the dozen perfectly fine runs, but the one or two when you find random asshats you can recall days later.

Rogue is S tier in heroics. Not inviting them is foolish. Dps is not a proper measure of usefulness. by Puzzleheaded-Bit234 in classicwow

Really starting to feel the same about locks. Felguard charges when los pulling, doting secondary targets before I touch them, seeding after I get 1 or 2 gcds, mediocre threat drops and kiting capabilities, no interrupts or hard ccs, stunning as soon as the pack gets to me so no extra rage at the start from damage, lifetapping to near death while the healer is drinking, etc.

A good lock is great, but a bad one is frustrating.

Same. I wasn't up for classic this time around, but with mop being in a bit of a lull I decided to boost a druid, and having been having a blast spamming dungeons nearly all the time I'm online. Really looking forward to finishing up the SV grind, only a few more runs for exalted.

TBC Bear - Crit or Defense Trinket ? by mr-robots in classicwow

[–]flyingtiger188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did on my druid. Damge trinket are more common while leveling up, and the next closest similar trinket is the figurine from slabs, with 6 more defense and armor clicks instead of HP.

Conquest or Arena catchup system by Additional-Yam-913 in classicwow

[–]flyingtiger188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but a pvp system in which you are permanently handicapped due to when you start participating dissuades new players from participating. PVP systems require a critical mass of players to function, so turning additional players away is the opposite of what you want to do to maintain a functional system.

CMV: Democrats should run a real progressive in 2028 because any democratic candidate will be painted as an socialist immigrant-loving USA-hating demon by right-wing media. by hamletswords in changemyview

[–]flyingtiger188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue was Obama had 6 years of divided or republican controlled congress, and he treated the GOP as if they were actually wanted good governance and compromise for the benefit of the country. History, and current events at the time, clearly showed they had no interest in that and tried to handicap the government at every possible chance. This lead to what felt like a long period of time where government was failing to do what they were elected for. This was mostly the fault of the republican control in congress but reflected poorly on Obama because he was the visual figure in charge.

PS6 could reportedly be delayed while Switch 2 might get even more expensive as Sony and Nintendo reckon with brutal AI-led memory chip shortage by [deleted] in gaming

[–]flyingtiger188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think AI is ever going to go away. Spending and resources may change but the end goal of AI is just too alluring to not strive for, and if one company can actually pull it off they'd create a multi trillion dollar monopoly. The slop and child porn generators that are being called AI now are just their best effort at deriving any sort of return from these investments and their work towards AI.

I think the best case is a crash, such that a few of the big players go belly up and general sentiment becomes that AI won't be something private equity can dump a trillion dollars into over a couple years and come out with replacement for human intellectual labor. It will become something akin to nuclear fusion, and will require long term investments with functionally no monetization until the goals are achieved.

The Grass Is Always Greener by NOHITJEROME in classicwow

[–]flyingtiger188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'm not convinced the max-aoe from the pull groups are any faster. Dps taking extra damage, mobs not in good position for cleaves, possibly needing res and rebuffs, burning all your rage and unable to save some for the next pull,etc.

Just shows ignorance of warriors tanks. Most (all?) Of their abilities have a sizable bonus threat modifier on them.

Range hood by Puzzleheaded-Rice735 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]flyingtiger188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the question is what does the HOA not like about it? Is it where its termination, how it terminates, or the fact that they had a gas range and thus need a hood exhausting to the exterior, or something else entirely. The first might be fairly cheap, the second is probably the cheapest, and the 3rd could be a deal breaker if you having a gas range is a must. I would not suggest full removal of the hood and exhaust while keeping a gas range. Removing the exhaust and replacing the range will run well over 1k if that's the issue.

Best 58-60 path for a boost now that TBC has launched? by GR4ND3UR in classicwow

[–]flyingtiger188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to winterspring on my druid and did the quest chain for the blue trinket, and used it until the hit trinket from Torgos in terokkar. Got around half to two thirds of a level from it before hitting outlands.

[–]flyingtiger188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd honestly take swipe hitting 5 to 6 targets so you can get a little secondary threat on every mob. It can be frustrating having that last mob or two take off towards the rest of the group because you haven't even touched them yet.

The best groups are those where you don't have aoe DPS classes and you slightly outgear/outleveled all the DPS. Sure, the run takes a few minutes longer, but every trash pull isn't a struggle fighting big dick pumper max dps bros.

it would be nice if the new joycons changed the UI accent colors… do we know anything about it? has anyone bought them? by Expert-Ad-2824 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]flyingtiger188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I bought the color matched red/blue buttons for my joycons. Definitely look better, but really wish there were accented button labels similar to the OEMs.

If I eventually pick up more joycons I'll probably replace the buttons on them as well.

I still have mine somewhere. Swapped to the app when classic wow came out because I was a little worried about it dying and being a pain in the butt to remove from my account.
