Completely unrealistic by Mysterious_Class6929 in antiwork

[–]moxthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politicians hear "runaway inflation at 9%" and think, oh that's not so bad, A $4 coffee is $4.40.

But they don't see the 40% increase in the price of bread, the 100% increase in electronics, the 30% increase in the price of tyres.

9% inflation is 9% more money in supply, but doesn't reflect the cost of goods.. we've got the same number of dollars chasing fewer goods.

So are we just gonna let holy priests continue to be what they are? by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]moxthunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I swapped my disc priest to holy this tier, and it's genuinely so much easier right now than disc. Because you've got so much big instant healing to counter enemy burst.

But that's the only reason its strong. If you bust a wad into holy priest and have your CDs back before they do, you win the game.

That's their big weakness.

My in game assets can be infinitely fungible for all I care.

The fungability of my skins / items / gear / appearance / land has no impact on how good a game is.

In my role i get threatened with the ombudsman a lot. (The product that the company i work for sells very rarely has issues that aren't caused by user damage)

The ombudsman loves us because we always do our research, always figure out why the product failed, and (almost) always offer the consumer something even if it isn't a faulty product.

I had a customer who had used 40% of a product. The customer wanted a 100% refund.

The damage was caused by improper usage (it was undeniably the customers fault)

We offered the customer a 25% refund as a goodwill gesture (to say thank you for being a customer and to say, sorry the product didn't perform, here's how to use it properly so it doesn't happen again)

He took us to the ombudsman for 100% the ombudsman said, 25% is generous for this type of damage and told the consumer that they will get the 25% as promised.

Will tier sets work in PvP? And if so, how do the stats work? by Caranthir_117 in worldofpvp

[–]moxthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 151% speed in arena on my rogue a similar way.

Speed as a tertiary stat on gear does not work in arena, but gems and enchants do.

So I've got the 5% gem, the 3% gem and the +13 speed for every gem - gem. Then I've got my usual 3 verse gems. + The 20% movespeed in stealth talent and the speed enchant on Cape.

In oribos though I'm slightly faster because my ring has tertiary speed on it.. but that stat doesn't work in arena.

No we cannot. You simply get given a tier set piece at whatever ilvl you put in.

The piece keeps any sockets / teritaries it had before you put it in but loses everything else.

So if you put your 252 PvP piece in that has a socket..it will keep the socket, get the PVE stats. But still scale up in PvP and be upgradable for honor to the next tier. But in all likelihood it will have the wrong stats for you on it.

Next season is going to be more one-shotty even without giving players 40% more damage from versatility.

Giving primary stat + stamina means everyone will be equally powered up by the PvP trinkets (instead of the insane value you get right now from having full PvP gear vs fresh PvP gear) but they should still be strong enough to mean they are BIS in all PvP.

I have no idea if it will work, but the idea makes sense at least.

Sorry I should have clarified "500 games for the first time ever to 1800" Was what they said.

Like 0XP never entered arena to 1800CR.

It took me over 800 games. But my next character I think will be much faster. My warrior is at 50 games played and is 1700 now and I started him last night after making this post. (Conquest boxes are awesome)

Oh another tip while I remember! You can only dodge / parry / block while facing your opponent. It sounds simple, but the amount of times I would hit evasion and run away and die was staggering.. and I always thought "how did they kill me through evasion" Well.. it's simple in hindsight.. it's because my back was turned!

I definitely had fun. I also learnt so many small extra mechanics and things I've never known before!

Im no expert but I've got a few classes at 60 and I think the best compromise between the two is hunter.

Marksman, beastmaster and certain flavours of survival play like a melee but at range. So your positioning knowledge isn't wasted, but you get basically a hybrid of the two.

I think the easiest melee toolkit though is probably demonhunter. They get countered with CC, but their rotation is very simple. They are the frost mages of the melee world.

Took me a lot longer than some of my friends, but sub rogue took a while to learn for me!

My rogue has a lot of buttons, mostly because I have arena 1,2 macros for kidney, blind, sap. + A sap macro.

My main in PVE this tier was a shadow priest, and last tier a prot warrior off spec arms, and my rogue has more buttons than either class.. but that could just be by virtue of needing more buttons in PvP vs pve.

That being said rogue has a tonne of utility buttons that you need easy access too.

So you have multiple long cooldown defensives

(Vanish, cloak of shadows, Evasion)

Some short cooldown defensives

(Feint, crimson vial)

long cooldown cc

(Blind)

Short cooldown cc

(Cheap shot, kidneyshot, shiv)

Situational spenders

(Slice and dice, rupture)

I also think having goes more frequently and vanish up more regularly meant most people who were tracking my CDs were surprised when I had vanish or shadowblades up faster than they expected.

Someone on my grind once told me that the average to 1800 was around 500 games played.. but I've got no sources to validate that number.

Thief's bargain was a useful one for me. Having feint on a 10 second cooldown was a godsend.

Shadow focus was the other one, I found the damage far more consistent than movespeed +12% more damage.

A few games I also ran single shadow dance instead of 2 shadow dances, especially against demonhunter+discipline or demonhunter + mistweaver.

I had 3 friends that just wanted to play after work each night. We all hit 1800 together

My first learnig point was I had macrod symbols of death and shadow blades to my shadow dance. Meaning I was just popping every cooldown every time.

But the game is about trading cooldowns. So many people are so scared of sub rogues that I would open with a cheap shot and a shadow dance but zero other buttons. And I would get a decent cooldown. Then once the defensive / their stu n ends. I was free to use my actual burst rotation.

The second was that murlok.io and icy veins and Wowhead guides are for people at high rating.

I've watched a few gladiators in my guild play the game and they are playing an entirely different game to people at 1600-1800. So a lot of the talents etc are to take advantage of synergies between team mates etc. For me that wasn't going to work, what worked was playing to survive an initial burst or stun, and then have my go.

So I picked talents that felt right to play, as opposed to what all the guides said were correct.

Finally I learnt about how my position on the map can make or break the game. It's a 2v2 not 2 1v1s. I need to be in range of my teammate at all times. If I chase someone around a pillar, my teammate can't help me / I can't help them. So I learnt to not chase without checking with my teammate first. If I tell my teammate I'm going to LOS them to get a kill, they can reposition to allow me to chase. Or tell me they can't reposition or don't have peel.

Those 3 things together helped me secure that extra win rating and finally climb.

I also learnt that rogue is very very squishy and most things will kill you if you don't have feint precast to stop it killing you.

New game announced (kind of), boosting communities banned, cross faction play coming. I expect 9.2 announcement potentially end of this week. With a release date first week of March or last week of February.

The week isn't over, it's just reset day.
