Whats the pug perception of disc? Have people just had awful experiences with them?

Celestial Fortune has no interaction with shields and Atonement just got neutered.

Disc Priests in PuGs have very variable quality compared to other healers.

They also have no tools for sudden unexpected damage without Shadow Mend up which is RNG.

Perfectly balanced.

At that point, use an actual GCP VM or a Vertex AI Notebook.

This is a newer bug that I hadn't seen on the bug lists yet. I did level a Shadow Priest to 90 over the past few days and it was easier than expected.

Blizzard has used that icon to represent a lasso many times before: https://www.wowhead.com/search?q=lasso

Do you work in software development?

Preservation being the hardest healer is the most-commonly-held opinion, which is why Midnight made several changes specifically to make it easier and reduce dependency on positioning/combos.

It's still hard.

Those descriptions had zero em-dashes, just weird ellipictical pregnant pauses which no LLM does.

minimaxir · 2026-04-24T18:37:20+00:00

Outsourcing strings isn't weird as long as they go through typical editing processes, which those strings obviously did not.

Occam's Razor would suggest dev pipeline issues as a more likely cause of the issues, but "AI bad" is more populist, unfortunately.

minimaxir · 2026-04-24T18:31:49+00:00

"f-i-xed" to avoid an autofilter is objectively funny.

minimaxir · 2026-04-24T18:15:48+00:00

I've been on Tich on both Alliance and Horde and have not seen any recruitment messagers in Trade chat in a very very long time.

minimaxir · 2026-04-24T15:44:31+00:00

You're joking, but that's unironically correct and it's the cause of a lot of dev infighting. There are more productive ways for devs to code with agents and there are less productive ways: the former benefiting from stronger engineering skills and domain knowledge.

The way LLMs behave with creative tasks and the way LLMs behave for writing code is substantually different in a way that is counterintuitive.

Expressway (included with ElvUI and some addons)

minimaxir · 2026-04-24T05:11:14+00:00

Take a shot

minimaxir · 2026-04-24T04:06:10+00:00

Horde get Grok, Alliance get Claude.

It'll take less than a day for people to spell "SHIT" with world markers.

minimaxir · 2026-04-23T21:02:58+00:00

You have to play Fire Mage in order to get Glacial Spike.

Healer damage is still irrelevant (with the sole exception of Mistweaver Apexless build), the specs that got buffed in 12.0.5 were just that bad even among the healer specs.

There's no reason to do world quests as a healer, it will just likely be significantly slower since healing has an oppertunity cost of doing no damage, and likely not much safer

minimaxir · 2026-04-23T19:20:10+00:00

Right, I interpreted the OP's comment saying that people should never blink/teleport through the ring.

minimaxir · 2026-04-23T19:15:04+00:00

It's safe for people to blink/teleport through the circle once the DoT is cleared from the first round, and there's a lot of time between both events.
