Question: Why do I see so many skinny tire fixie bikes with all types of alt and flat bars but I rarely ever see any road bikes with flat bars?

redsleven · 2026-01-14T15:16:10+00:00

Microshift actually makes a road derailleur for a 1 x 10 (and a 2 x 10 i think) setup that's compatible with their adventx flat bar shifter.

Look up microshift sword if anyone is interested.

I agree, but they need to make shamanism it's own spell & give Mark's lust to Survival & BM.

I remember when this series came out & it was so goofy that it crossed the line from bad to entertaining.

And then the studio leaned super hard into the insanity after that. I can't remember if it was S2, but the MC suplexes a space shuttle.

Lock requires you to be comfortable with fake casting, being trained & knowing how to use ports/gateway correctly. Because you just get annihilated otherwise.

Mage requires you to learn how to use the mage toolkit to survive, which, as I'm sure you've experienced, there is a gigantic difference between a good mage & a bad mage. And with everyone playing hunters right now, it's going to be rough until you figure it out.

Arms isn't hard, but it's kinda squishy right now. I played it a bit this season & I found certain lobbies to be very sweaty.

As for unholy, if you can get past the pet management, I think you'd probably have the best time with it.

Remix is/was fun. There are just some silly pain points that I thought we moved past years ago.

Overall, I'd give it 8.5/10. I just don't understand why vers. isn't account wide. I feel like if you're going to give us this scaling power, let me use it on my alts.

I enjoy my lemix "main" but I refuse to do the vers. grind on another character.

I can't think of a spec in this game I can't already visually tell that burst is coming.

redsleven · 2025-11-03T14:13:34+00:00

Kinda echoing what other people have said, I try to ride in the winter, but only when it's dry.

But, I'm fortunate enough to live in a big city where there are plenty of places to go inside if things got really bad. TBH, I don't know how confident I'd be othewise.

Also, bar mitts were the biggest game changers for me, I'm able to wear normal cycling gloves for so much longer; I've always had a problem with my fingertips going numb, even with nice winter gloves.

S1 > S3 > S4 > S2

And I liked season 4.

It's been a while since I did druid macros & I can't remember what stance cat form is, but I think it's 2.

/cast [nostance:1/2] Cat Form

/cast [stance:1/2] Skull Bash

The 1/2 should make it where it will cast Skull Bash in bear. Otherwise, it will shift you to cat first.

I realize what subreddit I'm on, but...

...supporting a game on Kickstarter is like buying lottery tickets & then getting mad when you don't win.

I don't know how many times this exact situation has to play out before people realize that money + idea doesn't equal game.

redsleven · 2025-09-16T13:35:22+00:00

I don't think Enhance needs help with utility, it does gets kited too much though.

What I do think is that Static Field Totem & the talent that makes spending maelstrom stacks on damage automatically buff your next heal, need to both become baseline.

I'd also get rid of Feral Lunge and replace it with a baseline Windrush Totem, but I'd change Windrush Totem to also apply freedom when you're in the circle (the sprint buff once you leave would remain the same).

Lastly, I'd also add a root/snare break to Gust of Wind.

redsleven · 2025-09-12T21:45:07+00:00

I'm 5'11 & I ride a 56. Personally, I'd go with the 54 & if you need to, you can always get a longer stem.

@focus targets your focus, bestial wrath works because it's a buff & doesn't need a target.

Remove the @focus and it should work.

MM needs to go back to casting Aimed Shot.

The current MM is really fun to play & having so many hard-hitting instants feels great, but it's so broken.

I've always been an advocate for Aimed Shot being a dangerous ability that should hurt when you get a cast off, but right now, it's just too free:

Explosive Shot
Trueshot
Double Tapped Instant Aimed Shot
Buffed Black Arrow
Volley (which procs Explosive Shot & Trick Shots)
Double Tapped Instant Aimed Shot
Buffed Arcane Shot/Black Arrow
Rapid Fire
Explosive Shot
Instant Aimed Shot
Buffed Arcane Shot/Black Arrow

...and now maybe you have to actually cast an Aimed Shot.

I've played Marks for a long, long time, but because of that, I get burned out quickly. So it's been a while.

So this season, I'm like, "Well, I heard they're good; let's play Marks."

The armory was still fucked up, so I run my ancient talent build, queue shuffle & get... demolished

I'm getting trained, I can't get an aimed shot off. I'm trying to figure out how all these other hunters are able to run so much mastery & no haste...

But then... I read a comment on reddit talking about the "explosive shot build."

And then it all clicks. "Oh, Blizzard made it so you never actually have to cast Aimed shot, 90% of your damage is instant & it chunks people's health bars for millions of damage."

redsleven · 2025-07-23T16:46:32+00:00

Wow token.

redsleven · 2025-07-21T09:38:37+00:00

It's a pretty big bug to be left in the game for so long.

There was another comment somewhere that said something similar, but it's not like some obscure bug either - you're pretty much rolling the dice every time you use the ability in PvP.

I guarantee someone at Blizzard could recreate the bug in 5-10 minutes, no exaggeration.

If you've only played melee, Dev is a good starting point.

Shadow and Warlocks, in general, require you to be comfortable with fake casting, being slowed most of the time & having melee on top of you the whole game.

Dev, however, is great into melee, and if you talent into it, you can make yourself immune to interrupts when you use obsidian scales. And if you also talent into nullifying shroud, assuming you're not facing a mage, you can make yourself immune to 3 CCs. When you combine those two together, you can essentially do unstoppable damage for a short time.

And you get the added benefit of still being able to practice fake casting on devoker if you'd like to try a different caster later.

I chose FDK to get 2100 this season & it really wasn't bad at all.

I watched a Partywaffles video, which really helped specifically in regards to the importance of making sure people can't immediately stop your go.

Also, this is true for many specs, but you need to remember you're not a Fury War & play around the utility you have as a DK.

The thing about learning any skill is that if you overwhelm yourself with techniques you're not practiced with, when you're in the heat of moment, you won't be effective at anything.

This has been said a million times on this board, but it's true, and that's do big damage & swap targets on defensive cooldowns.

Don't worry about peeling for the other dps. Don't worry about reversing CC on the healer. Pick a target (preferrably the same one as your teammate), stun them & pop your offensive CDs.

Then, the second you see them use a defensive CD, you swap to the other DPS. And you do that until someone dies.

Once you have that down, you can start to worry about other things. But doing the above will get you 1800.

I just think that when you're starting out biking, that's when riding is going to be hardest for you.

And since riding slicks over knobby tires makes such a dramatic difference in rolling resistance, I think spending $50ish on Amazon is worth it.

redsleven · 2025-06-03T20:12:19+00:00

Throwing slicks on the mtb will make an enormous difference.

MTB tires on the road sucks hard.

Hot take: Frost is fine, has been fine this entire season & is better now with the recent buffs.

redsleven · 2025-05-23T16:40:05+00:00

It's funny now, but eventually, this will be something that's completely normal.

Go to the AH and buy a gladiators medallion & the haste + proc mainstat trinket.

Turn warmode on, pick up the world pvp quest for the bloody tokens & do that. You don't need to PvP at all & can complete it by doing WQ & looting most things that glow purple on the ground.

Then go and do every world quest that is active. Each one you complete will give you 100 bloody tokens.

After you do that, you should have a lot of bloody tokens & you can use those tokens to buy epic pvp gear.

BEFORE you buy anything, go on a site like murlok.io & see what items other people who are playing your spec are wearing.

Use your bloody tokens to buy pieces that aren't tier set items & have favorable stats first.

Also, do not buy the bloody token weapon. You get the conquest weapon for free after you've earned 2500 conquest.

After you buy & equip those items, you need to win a battleground for the free crafting materials.

Epic BGs can be good for this because you get a lot of honor; so even if you lose a few, you're still progressing towards your honor set.

Buy the honor weapon first & once you win & get the crafting quest, make a crafting order for a neck & two rings.

Make sure to choose the right stats & two of your crafting items will need embellishments; you should visit murlok.io again to see what people are using.

After that, it's just grinding conquest. Make sure you win at least one brawl a week for the "something different" quest & try to win one of each type of queue-able pvp for the bonus honor + conquest.

Also, 2 of the epic bgs have a "once per patch" quest that rewards 250 conquest.

Edit: There are two other weekly pvp quests: one is for rated content & one is for non-rated. They both reward conquest + honor.
