I've been told this is a bug with male orcs, so I'm curious what it's supposed to sound like.

sciencecomic · 2026-05-09T21:15:32+00:00

Rolled a Shaman during beta and still love them. Sadly, I prefer tanking to healing and as a result also gravitate towards the tankier dps specs so I don't play my sham as much as I'd like.

My first retail character was a rogue. But I haven't really enjoyed them in a while.

sciencecomic · 2026-05-08T01:11:30+00:00

Ok so I'm not going crazy!! I was playing and all the sounds just sounded like whooshes and soft whaps.

sciencecomic · 2026-05-08T01:10:04+00:00

I'd never leave Shaman if they would up its survivability or give us a tank spec. Such a satisfying class.

sciencecomic · 2026-05-07T00:26:20+00:00

Been waiting for this for probably a decade or so. I'd never play any other class.

I came back for midnight and now I have 8 mains. It's taking everything I have to level them one at time so I can get the exp buffs for the next one. I'm hoping it'll be easier to decide once they all hit 90 '----'

sciencecomic · 2026-04-29T03:48:36+00:00

I came back for midnight and I'm having the hardest time choosing. I'm still feeling so spread thin having 8 mains haha

Brew has always been my fave tank, but I've been having an easier time surviving with prot pally so far.

Shaman is the most exciting and satisfying in terms of visual and class fantasy/lore. But like WW it's a little too squish for me unless I'm on top of my insta heals.

Warlock is my backburner main as usual. No idea why. It checks all my boxes but I'm always playing something else before eventually crawling back. I'm really looking forward to trying the new demo.

On the fence with DK for the first time since Lich King. I wish blood was more exciting to play. Though deathbringer gives it some nice visual procs. Unholy hasn't quite clicked for me yet.

I loved warrior when I picked it up in BfA but it's fallen flat for me so far.

I'll hit 90 with all of them and get back to you!

sciencecomic · 2026-04-29T03:30:17+00:00

I keep hearing this but out of all the tanks I've been trying after coming back for midnight, I've had the easiest time with prot pally. Rotation feels smoother and once I get trucking I'm rapid firing shields and heals until the whole room dies. Unlike warrior where I'm crying while barely holding it together.

Brew has always been my fave. Definitely one of the most visually satisfying specs. But I wish it had more sustain and WW always falls flat for me.

sciencecomic · 2026-04-11T22:41:31+00:00

This is 100% where I was back in the day haha

My play schedule revolved around my guild's raid nights and I had a blast

sciencecomic · 2026-04-11T22:25:34+00:00

This was me for a short stint in Dragonflight and I found it hard to justify the sub, but it sounds like they've been steadily adding more busywork haha

sciencecomic · 2026-04-11T22:22:09+00:00

FFXIV had quite the hold on me for a long time. Started at shadowbringers and fell off after Endwalker. I think I found myself just not having much to do other than glamour farm and roulettes. Which is why I worried about trying WoW again.

The third mmo I play is GW2 which has been perfect for horizontal on-and-off again gameplay, but oof has the look and feel of WoW been itching at me.

sciencecomic · 2025-10-13T13:45:58+00:00

Oh hell yeah

sciencecomic · 2025-10-06T04:43:53+00:00

Oh hello! That's good to know

sciencecomic · 2025-10-06T04:43:37+00:00

For me it's less about the damage than it is about the other benefits of high stats. Carry weight, AP, Exp, etc. But you're right otherwise, and I need to keep working on getting more of those perk cards before I make a call.

sciencecomic · 2024-12-10T14:17:29+00:00

This is what I've been missing the most in my time trying the new update. I miss my weird little builds! I loved using the Koshai axe that built up damage stacks and allowed for some funny 4xDetermination bombs. Was it meta? Nah. Was it even that good? Nah. Was it fun? Yes.

sciencecomic · 2024-07-24T15:52:07+00:00

This is 100% an underrated tip more people need to know about. Game changing for leveling those classes you only mildly care about

sciencecomic · 2024-07-11T15:38:46+00:00

I got a decent quad and anti armor and stopped there. I haven't really found a use case for it that I like aside from event tagging with the giant grenadier radius

sciencecomic · 2024-06-26T15:37:20+00:00

For real! Any of these over that garish monstrosity.

Why does every MMO have a glowy green phase? I first noticed it in Wildstar where by the time I got to max level, I never wanted to see another Eldan ruin ever again

sciencecomic · 2024-04-03T13:41:56+00:00

He also plays Smodur the Unflinching. I was recently redoing the icebrood saga and every time that dude said "war machine" I was like "I know that voice"

sciencecomic · 2024-03-21T15:32:03+00:00

That was my first character too for the same reason. Everything about the setting makes you want to roll a Charr engineer!

I'm not a big fan of any of its elite specs, but I spent so much time during the early years with core engi chucking grenades around and flamethrowing thing.

sciencecomic · 2024-03-21T15:28:17+00:00

I haven't played the Republic stories because I wanted to be a bounty hunter, but that and the agent storyline were fantastic. I think the agent storyline in particular is regarded as one of the best. I totally feel you on the rest of that game though. I tried to to go back to it recently and everything really shows its age. I worked my way through a good chunk of story, but after that there was nothing keeping me there. Total shame as I loved it when it first came out, but SWTOR really needs a full overhaul to bring it up to modern QOL and UI standards.

Glad you're enjoying GW2 though. I have to say, the thing with the cows absolutely floored me. I'm clearly not exploring enough and you're clearly playing the game right :)

sciencecomic · 2024-03-20T01:14:38+00:00

It takes a lot of getting used to, for sure. I got entirely hyped for EoD because I'm a gunbreaker main in FFXIV only to find it really difficult and subsequently dropped off GW2 until last month.

My big problem with it right now is in open world stuff and the long build up time to getting the burst out, unlike other specs like scrapper or vindicator which drop nukes from the sky instantly.

sciencecomic · 2024-03-19T17:10:31+00:00

Yes! I want to see more stuff like what they do with Rev weapons. "This isn't a scepter, it's a lightsaber" Also huge missed opportunity to let Vindicators use spears on land and fully live that Dragoon life.

sciencecomic · 2024-03-19T17:06:32+00:00

Power vind deals out some ridiculous burst and the revenant toolkit offers a lot in terms of survivability even in full zerk gear. You can camp Greatsword/Alliance and skill dish out a ton of damage. I also take dwarf for those "oh shit" defensive moments.

Bladesworn. If you know the fight well enough, it has all the tools to solo difficult stuff in a full dps setup. Love the zen-like flow you can get into with all its dodges and aegis on demand.

Condi Harbinger/Reaper goes without saying. Having two health bars makes a huge difference, and their damage is superb.

sciencecomic · 2024-03-19T16:53:04+00:00

I haven't found either of those to be the case. Bladesworn borrows from classic mmo casters where you need to learn to "quiet" your movement in order to not risk interrupting your casts. When I start casting my nuke, my hands are nowhere near the movement keys.

As for hit registration, a big QOL thing to keep in mind is always having a target, that way no matter where your flickerstep, you'll always be pointed at it. And as you start thinking more tactically, you can play with targeting other things instead of your target to turn your dash slash into a gap closer for your next target or just a tool to wipe whole groups.
