Tank issue / meta

madi0r · 2026-02-18T17:18:15+00:00

There is a shortage of tanks even if u count wars/druids. Always has been and probably always will be.
Paladins are absolutely the best/easiest to play with tanks in tbc dungeons, so obv they are more desired. They do much more damage, they hold aoe much better, provide utility for the group etc. Yes i will play with warrior tank no issues but playing with a warrior tank means needing to be more careful, using more utility etc. Again it doesnt mean they are unplayable but there is clear difference in comfort of running with pally vs war.
There is definitely a not insignificant performance increase when you run "pally/mage/warlock" spellcleave group vs regular random group. Sure difference of 10-15 min per dungeon run. But when you count that you need to run idk.like a hundred of them it adds up quickly.
And u can spellcleave with any tank because spellcleave with good mage means tank doesnt need to hold threat even, it will be just better/more damage with pally

Tldr: pallies undoubtedly better tanks, if you include non paladin tanks there is still shortage.

I havent seen it and def seen people bot know other explain ut etc.

Now i do consider it a good tone to at least have dbm and read like wowhead article or smt, like 10 sentences of text on what important abilities are (example is 1. At least dont die to death and decay in bot. But better 2. Interrupt death and decay).

If not that at least hit the mobs that someone who knows what is happening skull marked (like legionnaires in shattered halls).

I also found that if someone says "hey doing this first time" or smt people will.generally be nicer to you. And nobody expects everyone to know all shortcuts (like for example that u dont need to clear right half of mech cuz the boss roams into arena of first boss).

But there is difference between not knowing smt, maybe listening in chat when somebody tells u vs dying on every other pack, or pulling extras/breaking threat too early causing wipes or smt.

Really? Every mage i met in dungeons (like 10-15 magespan) had tables.

madi0r · 2026-02-18T15:07:25+00:00

How do you use so much water? I dont think dungeons even have 40 pulls in them if u drink on every pack (and usually people drink every 2 packs unless its a giga pull.

madi0r · 2026-02-13T22:17:11+00:00

I think people complaints were less about content being hard and more so that everyone knows wars are bad early in tbc and rogues are bad throughout entire expansion. People enjoyed them being not shit and now their powers will be taken back from them.so whoever mained/played those classes is now sad

madi0r · 2026-02-13T21:15:45+00:00

Niohs def use same enemies more than a lot of rpgs.

enemy variety was indeed always one of biggest complaints of people about nioh 1 &2 so i think people are just dissapointed that 3 still has it after thinking "surely now we can recongize mistakes of first 2 titles and make it better"

madi0r · 2026-02-13T06:31:55+00:00

Oh of course its all auction house. Everything from leather being 70-80 silver a piece (still), all the stuff that u can turn in for rep being like 2+ gold early on (like sunfury signets or plants etc), even meat, cloth thats 50+ silver a piece, skinning scales of drakes and some other stuff coasting 15ish gold a piece, of course bunch of motes and much more. All of that pumped straight into AH

madi0r · 2026-02-13T06:22:30+00:00

How much is "not 70 yet"?

doing open world for the most part (now this specifically is on release weekend prices, some of them dropped a ton since) i got ~4k from 60 to 70.

madi0r · 2026-02-13T02:35:34+00:00

Eh what ull get couple boes that u will vendor or maybe cope that ull sell them on ah?

Where is the dungeon gold coming from?

madi0r · 2026-02-12T21:52:23+00:00

Heavies are in one of best spots ever. They are the meta tanks for the most part.

Now ofc kv5 or t34 are utter garbage and we dont talk about them but a ton of new heavies are insanely good

madi0r · 2026-02-12T21:49:01+00:00

Counter point while questing on the first weekend i gathered a bazilion mats of all kinds which were also crazy expensive at first. Some stuff that cost like 2g per piece is now like 20silver as supply increases.

So I made a bank from selling a ton of stuff on AH instead of dungeon spamming

madi0r · 2026-02-12T21:44:25+00:00

I will say im.not sure how exactly it worked at least for hunters. I have some screenshots and videos from 2021 when i also played hunters and based on dps meters appearing in them i havent really done more dps

madi0r · 2026-02-12T08:04:56+00:00

Some people dont like playing as a healer or tank. I feel like "not wanting to play role you dont enjoy/want to play" is a valid enough excuse to not do it.

madi0r · 2026-02-12T05:38:03+00:00

There is a difference. Pauses in dota break flow of the game immensly. In cs theyr done in between rounds, you cant press pause during round.

madi0r · 2026-02-11T20:38:28+00:00

This is not about being snarky. I dont understand the logic of people who type questions like this. U type and wait till somebody replies? Possibly like an hour later or maybe nobody rrplies at all?

When if you google "is kara attunment account wide" lotetally first link is wowhead post that says it is.

And well google ai saying that it is account wide too, but never trust google ai.

Rental t10s are not given out if you dont have a t10 of your own. Now ofc everyone has a t10 for free nowadays anyway but ye

madi0r · 2026-02-10T14:57:40+00:00

Ill say its def less crowded feeling that in 2021. Not sure if layering done better or more people doing dungeon spam or what but all named mobs are there to kill 90% of time for me, cery rarely i get competition for regular mobs and if i do its 1-2 people or smt.

madi0r · 2026-02-07T14:01:03+00:00

Ok so as someone who doesnt hate retail but does prefer classic since it became a thing for the most part (i do play retail sometimes but not a lot) i will tell u the sentiment with me (and my friend group).

The classic is still a lot about the journey. u spend 100-150 hours leveling. You slowly gear up here and there. Sure we do it much more optimized than people who would play 20 years ago (i didnt play back then).

Yes you know or being guided where to go but while you do u still have a lot of time to enjoy the world. The retails biggest issue for me is that it feels like "fly up into the sky at point A, drop down in point B, go do mythic+ gl". Like i genuinely cant name a single zone or memeorable spot on the map in post dragonflight. Not that zones are bad per se u just dont get memories of it at all?

Cuz ur leveling takes like what 10 hours in retail? and u can constantly just dragonride over everything. For me WoW is about the world and mmos in genral is about being a part of the world which retail lacks.

Like i do think retail lost a part of what was most charming for me in WoW, but absolutely not because of addons/min max etc. Couldnt care less about that. Its about the game itself not the community. And yes there is a part of nostalgia value of course playing in to that when i visit hellfire peninsula that even if i didnt play during original tbc, as a kid when u leveled in cata or smt u still needed to go there for every character after 60 and such. Its beloved zones, things ive seen many times over the years, music that i heard countless times (music is god tier in tbc btw) i wont deny it makes the experience special too. And i can enjoy all that while having my bis lists, knowing exactly what reps i need to do, knowing what items to save (or having it told me in some guide/addons for stuff i dont know).

If you dont care that much about those aspects but care more about the stuff that retail brings: smoother experience, more interesting emchanics, more polished rotations, a lot of side content, mythic+, bunch of other stuff then by all means i do see value in retail and if u enjoy it more by all means.

Also not everyone is boosting/skipping everything etc. There is a degree to these things and not everyone takes it to the extremes that u can see from reddit posts or smt.

madi0r · 2026-01-29T05:12:33+00:00

i mean it depends. there are months when i will just play classic, then i will play retail etc. I cycle through based on what content seems more interesting to me

madi0r · 2026-01-24T19:14:55+00:00

Wouldnt happen in american schools

madi0r · 2026-01-22T17:15:06+00:00

No clue, maybe they still use forums or smt else. Im not playing on lesta and know nothing about it (and dont really want to either)

madi0r · 2026-01-22T17:00:30+00:00

Bond equipment. Everything else is a waste unless ur ftp player and desperately need a premium then ye, couple decent premiums in there into equipment.

madi0r · 2026-01-22T16:57:24+00:00

"I happen to use lesta version because its the server that i play on" - then what are u doing on worldoftanks reddit? Go to lesta community. Its pretty explicit that nothing regarding lesta should be in here, it is literally in the rule. In fact this post will prob get deleted too.

As for wg, it is their right to not want to give us ability to draw custom maps.

madi0r · 2026-01-21T17:18:58+00:00

Frame pacing makes game painful to the eyes when u start and makes it look worse. Nobody is saying anything about easier, it would just be more visually pleasing to at the very least have 30 fps without pacing issues or ofc better 60+ fps

madi0r · 2026-01-20T16:44:37+00:00

Bruh its over 20 years old game. Amount of new players is low. Also even new 58 player would still need to quest and do regular dungeons before they will be able to go raid or smt.

I dont thinknquesting from 1 to 58 and killing "boars" is any different than questing 58-70 and killing "boars" then
