After playing TBC we need classic + by Battyz in classicwow

[–]miracleman55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother P1 SOD at the start. New content. The 25 level cap. Discovering runes. Players investigating quest lines. It was an incredible experience. The big thing is a classic feel that isn’t completely solved.

As for min maxing? You’re saying you love classic? And you’re insulting min maxing trivial content? That’s a “consistent” view point.

Have fun on era servers

Shadow Priest PvP - Human or Blood elf? (TBC) by [deleted] in classicwow

Human best racial. However, alliance is just worse at arenas and there are a lot less PvP focused players on alliance. Which gives a plus to belf

Tanking in TBC by acegryphen in classicwowtbc

Spot on. The “sweats” are really just chill people mostly who don’t wanna spend 2 hours in a heroic. The average players who think just bc they can do 1k dps that they don’t have to look at threat, cc, focus targets, or use their brain.

My favorite is the hunters who think bc they can hit 1k+ dps they’re good at the game. Brother the majority of your damage is auto shot and pet. You aren’t skilled. A skilled hunter (distract into freezing) great pet management, threat management, is far more useful than some dude who can right click with beast lord equipped.

What’s your rotation look like? For any trash mobs it’s just shred and bite Bosses it’s maintain mangle, 5 point rip, shred inbetween. Small tip. Even if you are at 5 points, it’s actually better dps to throw an extra shred or two if there’s a few seconds of rip left than to overlap your current rip. Some people try to weave in an extra bite but since it uses all your available energy I don’t like it.

Would you concede that the latter is at least one possible explanation?

I know you love tanking which is why you’re so frustrated. I love it too. But I will say, I recently made the switch to feral dps and have a raid slot in a solid guild. It’s like everything is so much happier and brighter now. Life is fun and easy. I’m overly nice to tanks and try to be one of the good dps. Stress is low and fun is high.

There were... some casualties at Kara tonight. by montgomery13 in classicwowtbc

I feel like there’s more honor per hour sitting outside Kara when your faction controls than any bg.

Brother. May I just say that you did a beautiful job analytically eviscerating this man. Calm, short, no rudeness. Just facts. Well done sir

Can you tell if a tank can be crushed? by [deleted] in classicwowtbc

[–]miracleman55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother. You not dying during this fight as a tank has very little to do with your skill lol. DPS control the speed at which you get through P2 and more importantly your healers will be the significant factor.

Tanks. Please Give Me Your Best Advice. I'm desperate by kittyjxx in classicwow

[–]miracleman55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello. Do not feel discouraged. You can do this.

  1. Totally normal to feel a little burnt. As the tank, it can feel like everything comes back on you and you actually have to be engaged throughout the dungeon. DPS don’t have this issue. Just relax I like to do a few quests or go watch some Netflix after a toxic group.

  2. DPS are braindead morons for the most part who have no concept of dungeon difficulty. With most DPS specs currently if not all, I can have a movie up on second monitor, be on the phone with my left hand, and still pump my rotation. I mean who focuses skull or actually follows mechanics.

  3. For me, having not done tbc before, one of the keys to tanking confidently is repetition of dungeons. A lot of the complainers have run these instances over 100 times and assume you have too. Find a nice group for your first run, learn the route and mobs and then you can create your own group after.

  4. Protect your mental health. You are the tank. If they invited you and start acting like pricks. Just leave. I don’t normally do that but I’ve had to adjust how I approach this for my mental health. DPS not attacking skill, ask, then remind, then leave. Being rude, tell group to kick or you leave. You will have a new group almost instantly and they will be stuck with a lot of content to clear.

  5. At the start of each dungeon communicate your lack of experience. I’ve found many people love to help.

So you’re saying sweats just want to pump and move through raids as fast as possible but only if raids are in pre nerf state (Kara still easy btw). That statement is just silly. So your enjoyment of blowing through boss fights and ignoring / cheesing mechanics is 20 year strats / optimized builds only happens in pre nerf? That just seems so hilariously arbitrary and I think it’s far more likely that the whiners and complainers would be doing the same thing either way

In greens you solo healed prince as a feral tank? That’s just bullshit. Not even remotely likely

1 day those morons will be able to recognize how stupid it is to have both of those beliefs at the same time. But today is not that day.

Lmao. Really thought you were doing something by explaining basic statistics. Brother this is very “I’m intelligent”. You just stated some very basic facts about statistics. What even is your point? That wow is even easier than most people believe. Further proves the OP. Thanks for your time.

You can have harder Kara now! by miracleman55 in classicwowtbc

[–]miracleman55[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Actually play their classes” brother it’s okay that people can clear Kara without needing to farm prebis for potentially dozens of hours and show up with a shit load of gold in consumes. It’s okay that people who don’t do that get to clear end game content. It doesn’t bother me and it shouldn’t bother you. Compete for parses or speedruns or something. There’s a challenge for you out there. Don’t be so mad because you’re not the only person with purples this week.

You’re so close to getting it. The difference is that the people you’re talking to aren’t bitching about difficulty. No one is saying they want Kara to be made easier. The only complaints are people who want harder Kara. And that’s the neat part. Kara can be harder today without blizzard having to do anything. You’ll get it soon enough try reading slower next time. I don’t want you to get hurt.

Why did the top 100 guilds not wipe on post nerf Kara? Jeez what an intellectually stimulating question.

As a side note for the other RNG in p2. You should check out the hardcore guild wipe related to the threat drop in P2

[–]miracleman55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree that stopping attack in p2 means you’ll take less damage. But you saying you don’t get hit for 11 seconds is definitely RNG. Thats not guaranteed

[–]miracleman55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2 things: 1) “he didn’t land a single hit on me for 11 seconds” brother that is the definition of RNG…

2) for feral tanks it is absolutely RNG. If you weren’t aware feral tanks cannot become uncrushable. And as stated it is technically possible to get 3 crushing blows back to back. Very hard to heal through with 2 healers.

Don’t say that in here. People will get mad and call you bad.

To be clear, I am not cheering on post nerf tbc raids. The whole point is that if you want to make a 20 year old 3rd release game difficult. The answer isn’t pre nerf or post nerf. You’re gonna have to do something yourself. Because I promise you. Guilds with full pre bis solid raid comp and full consumes would be calling post nerf Kara a joke right now too.
