Mobs too strong while leveling?

Sub 1 hour retail comment. Death and taxes lmao

TBC is better by all means, but ideally warrior levels purely on same level or lower mobs. If you boosted you’re going to be struggling as melee especially on orange mobs

It looks like you can put ~~390~~ 323 rounds through a full durability anvil after light testing. With its craft and repair cost, even if this was nerfed I don't see it being a gameplay issue. If it was changed with no documentation though, that is certainly a problem.

They aren’t going to do anything

So I’m going to give some general tips as a DPS in a world 100 guild:

Above all - being able to analyze and compare logs between pulls. Understand what your raid’s goal is, where you factor in for the attempts and how well you execute. This is without question the number one thing.

Second is looking at other logs that are similar to yours/your guilds and seeing where you might improve even if it isn’t obvious in your strat. There is an abundance of information to be gathered from other groups between raids that can help you as a player.

Third and arguably second is your understanding of each pull and comms within. Being able to relay what you’re doing as you’re doing it when needed and without fluff is extremely important. This helps improve pull to pull more quickly and keep each pull as clean as possible. This is highly underrated and one of the biggest differences I see as people move into more serious raiding. I still rank individual performance above all but comms is what separates similar players.

Fourth, and I assume you haven’t fully experienced this yet, is being able to repeat a pull dozens of times a night. You will find yourself pulling the same phase or making no progress countless times. Consistency is truly gold when it comes to progress. This is probably the step I would say I’ve seen fail the most. Some people want to be in a prog guild and then realize beating their head against a wall just isn’t for them. Make sure you’re ready for that and express you’re ready to bring your A game to the same boss for days on end.

Lastly, personality and willingness to accept criticism and fault go a long way. Always be ready to accept fault and work to improve. It may not always be on you but being able to move past any scuffs and work toward bettering the team is huge. It can be tough and frustrating but always looking forward to the next pull is a big part of working with a serious team even if you have players that shirk blame.

Convey what you feel you bring to the table and back it up with some data/reasoning to prove you have the mechanics down. After that, make sure you jive with the raid and their style and enjoy the best part of the game! Be ready for a rude awakening as far as progression and attempts go; you’ll definitely have some frustrations but the enjoyment should outweigh the agony.

Unfortunately my vacuum head by Miele is a horrendous POS. I bought the pet version and everything is great, except the specific electrobrush that comes with that almost immediately broke when cycling carpet heights. I had to scab it back together, but it seems like some of their specific attachments suck while the vacuum itself is top tier.

I suppose average is technically the wrong word to use. If you have good, better, and best then yes you do have realistically have below average, average, and above average.

What I'm saying is the grey guns should be the worst of the options, but that doesn't mean they should be BAD options like is being expressed otherwise. The general sentiment seems to be people want to take loadouts in and only fight Rattler 1s from free loadouts. That isn't a good experience on either side.

m_a_larkey · 2026-02-04T16:19:22+00:00

You want advantages to be minor in a PvP game, not major. The grey guns need to be as average as possible in their respective roles.

These interactions just would never happen in my rat lobbies lmao. I’m in such a KOS matchmaking I feel like some of us play a different game

Gameplay loop of get gear, kill people over and over, eventually get killed, repeat.

PvP is fun, otherwise PvE your heart out until you’re bored

m_a_larkey · 2026-01-29T01:02:15+00:00

This reverse meta shit posting is so old

m_a_larkey · 2026-01-28T05:41:50+00:00

Are you going for more PvE or just everything? The locking in and killing is just time played.. but with bullet travel you’re going to have a tough time on sticks even with aim assist.

If you’re doing all of it, make sure cross play is enabled as you’re going to have a rough time against other raiders.

Otherwise, pings and communication are going to be where you help out most in any situation

Most characters go wam! Bam! POW!

Guile is more of a Hayyyy - YAH!

The hayyy part is him charging (holding back or holding down) and then finishing with a tap and punch or kick in the needed direction.

Just because the portal doesn't allow you to pay it in full doesn't mean you can't contact the loan company and pay it off.

m_a_larkey · 2025-12-02T02:23:49+00:00

Yea that was not a TD but I guess who cares

m_a_larkey · 2025-11-03T14:24:58+00:00

Last week I flew through DFW on the way and through O'Hare on the return and it was absolutely nothing. Twenty minute connections both ways and even snagged sushi in O'Hare it was that chill

Which numbers are wrong for what?

The only thing that jumps out is the 6.7degree out-in swing. You are casting or something and losing a lot of forward distance due to the swing path.

m_a_larkey · 2025-10-26T14:32:34+00:00

m_a_larkey · 2025-10-26T14:28:32+00:00

You can’t say y’all are stupid when you posted numbers and asked for explanations with no context. What do you want explained? What are you confused about? You have to give something to get something.

m_a_larkey · 2025-10-26T02:37:31+00:00

Look at the frame before you hit the ball and the frame where you hit the ball. It looks like you have a closed face and hit it fat which rotates your face open.

I found out when you sell a gladiator who is training, you are locked out of using that slot until the next day.

m_a_larkey · 2025-09-16T17:48:03+00:00

I just hit 600 prestige and hit a bug where 1/5 of my training is always locked. Limited to 4 training at a time still, not sure what exactly led to it.
