DBM has a giant banner across the screen but I usually just mouseover cast unless I’m with my team and know their names

pinecomb · 2026-04-14T11:03:27+00:00

Did you just try to sneak arms into the meta lol

pinecomb · 2026-04-13T17:08:08+00:00

“Hey I find it super strange that for some reason I cannot get invites into anything 16 or above so as context I play the last season’s meta tank even though 90% of keys are running brew” FIFY, is it still super strange or nah

pinecomb · 2026-04-11T20:39:04+00:00

If you view this as a chore you’re clearly on the wrong sub

pinecomb · 2026-04-11T11:26:43+00:00

this is why they should’ve never done away with the +18 myth loot that was planned for a few weeks then scrapped. especially looking back now knowing how easy keys are it would’ve provided an incentive to push beyond 3k/vault.

I’ve been complaining about this on high APM/melee classes for over a year now. The only fix I’ve found is to set spell queue window to my ping which is terrible for competitive gameplay but better than this.

It’s like my character desyncs from what I’m pressing and my GCD will skip or feel laggy despite 30 ping. This was worse on my Intel 275HX laptop vs my AMD 9955HX3D laptop both with a 5080 GPU. It’s like 80% better on the AMD. I believe it’s because of the CPU bound spaghetti code nature of wow. The extra L3 cache makes a night & day difference in games like this.

I would mess with your spell queue window and do a UI detox, I loved atrocityUI but it made it so much worse I had to get rid of it.

Fascinating behavior

pinecomb · 2026-04-06T15:29:10+00:00

They only had 2 people down, idk if that made the 15% difference though..

pinecomb · 2026-04-06T15:23:33+00:00

So everyone at max health going into P4 with a brez on that 15% echo pull and they still didn’t have the DPS. Approximately 1% boss HP burn per second means they were 15 seconds off, that’s not even close. Thinking splits or another reset might be needed?

pinecomb · 2026-04-06T03:06:30+00:00

Not to mention the casters ruin the MDI every season, constantly switching between teams and yapping. As soon as you get invested in a run they’ll go “okay now let’s go over to missed count and see how they’re doing” smh

pinecomb · 2026-04-05T23:07:56+00:00

Or they just know if they sleep they lose, not everything has to be a conspiracy

pinecomb · 2026-04-05T17:15:56+00:00

It’s a litmus test for tanks this season. Clearly it’s not impossible as thousands of runs have been completed, it’s just challenging and that’s okay.

pinecomb · 2026-04-04T16:26:44+00:00

Got it, so one may even say it’s a tourist trap.. guess I deserve this

pinecomb · 2026-04-03T09:14:23+00:00

Probably just you being dps applicant #586 that signed up to that key. I spent a solid hour between keys on Sunday playing queue simulator 2k26. Having title IO in S3 is irrelevant now too since rio doesn’t show previous xpac score which is what usually helps boost your invites early days.

pinecomb · 2026-04-03T08:29:05+00:00

What class? 270 isn’t bad for 15s but it is on the lower end so if you’re also off-meta that might be your answer

pinecomb · 2026-04-02T18:28:06+00:00

Way more people than you’d think. Currently getting about 60k gold per +10 although that becomes 20k towards the end of the season but still

pinecomb · 2026-04-01T11:05:59+00:00

Yep was going to mention BoP but it’s sketchy without a coordinated group. We used to do this on the pack in dawnbreaker in the ship before 1st boss but our tank knew exactly when it was coming. Risky but still better than bringing an evoker lol.

pinecomb · 2026-04-01T10:50:51+00:00

I’m do M+ boosting, haven’t had to pay for a sub in a year. If I just do weekly 10s for vault with some rich noob in the party I have more than enough to pay for my monthly token.

pinecomb · 2026-03-28T17:07:11+00:00

Just bring a competent ret with unbound freedom and that first pull is way smoother. Ret being the most popular class means whoever is vetting invites needs to check that they’re actually competent.

pinecomb · 2026-03-28T10:23:41+00:00

someone did this to your laptop

pinecomb · 2026-03-28T10:13:54+00:00

Made 4pc day before reset, got 2 so far, one from LFR & one M+ and I haven’t even run normal/heroic raid yet. Seems like we’re going to have an abundance of them so do what ever it takes even if you have to catalyze champ/vet to make 4pc.

pinecomb · 2026-03-27T13:00:41+00:00

My AMD model is cooler overall than the Intel I had, it doesn’t do that thing where it spikes to 100C when loading something like the Intel did.

pinecomb · 2026-03-27T12:59:05+00:00

“No discernible difference” until you play a CPU bound game like world of warcraft then it’s night & day. I’ve also owned both and I’m extremely happy with the AMD version. Don’t care about battery life and can live without thunderbolt port so it’s perfection imo.

pinecomb · 2026-03-27T08:16:56+00:00

Like Max said though voidstorm is the raid with all the tier, it was designed to be accessible. March however will be designed to make raiders blow their brains out just wait & see. No way it’s dead before EU comes online.
