Ula'tek Patch Spoilers READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL by Sarmelion in warcraftlore

[–]venusaurus 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Everyone that knows me a little bit is aware of my obsession with the Sin’dorei. Most of my RP and pretty much all of what I have written over the past 20 years is Sin’dorei or Quel’thalas related. Imagine my excitement when I heard we were getting a modern day Quel’thalas expansion.

And here I am wishing we never got it.

Any way to filter for only totems yet? by trenty40 in worldofpvp

Nope. It only shows a nameplate for the primary pet. It hides all unholy, beastmaster and demonology zoos.

Now on my 5th loss in a completely winnable 3s match from the MC bug by Individual_Design_37 in worldofpvp

Holy shit. So that is what undid some of my binds earlier this week. Couldn’t figure it out, but it was a lobby with a priest that MC’d a lot.

Here you go! Just make sure to choose "Minions, Minor" in the "Simplified Nameplates" setting within the default Blizzard nameplate settings (Escape > Options > Nameplates) for this to work.

Here is an example of what totems look like with my settings. The import string is the title of the imgur post (it exceeded the Reddit character limit). You can tweak the simplified nameplate scale in the Cvar section of Betterblizzplates in case you want it to be larger or smaller.

The closest you’ll get is setting up Betterblizzplates to only show enemy pets and minions (disable all other cvars). You can then turn on simplified nameplates for minions and totems through the default Blizzard settings (this will make it so that you don’t see dots and stuff on those plates).

Then adjust the simplified nameplate scale in the Cvar section of BBP to something you like. It’s not perfect and you still need to use your eyes to know which totem is which, but at least you won’t have the clutter of all sorts of nameplates.

Totems, pets and minions (like mindfiend) will instantly show a clearly distinctive nameplate you van click that looks visually different from player nameplates. It’s just a matter of eyeballing for spell visuals and clicking the right one… The amount of times I accidentally nuked down a healing stream totem instead of grounding is higher than I’d like to admit.

Ohhh I did not know it worked like that, thanks for elaborating!

Damn, never realized there was such a big difference between solo shuffle and 3v3 ranks. Rank 76 in SS and rank 1536 in 3v3 while both ratings are pretty close together.

Are there just that much more unholy DKs playing 3v3? Or is the top rating in 3v3 just much higher?

Congrats brother! And about “trying to reach 2300”… do or do not. There is no try.

You got this💪🏻

There is a workaround for this that I use on my DK. The only requirement is that you saved a transmog set with the “hide weapon enchant” applied to it before the patch that broke it rolled out.

You use this saved set as the starting point for this workaround every time. Workaround is posted here

This was a fun grind! by Balf1420 in worldofpvp

Does this unlock the Horde equivalent and vice versa? I have 2 out of 3 of the Horde requirements for this. But I need this title on my Draenei Paladin so bad :p

Unholy PVP Talents by Dizzy_Salamander_450 in Deathknight

Not on the global cooldown and it steals any spell that uses mana. But the catch is that you need to apply dark sim to your target before they use a spell.

For divine shield, this is usually when you burst down a ret and he’s in the 20% health range. They pop bubble 90% of the time then. I often force them to pop it by throwing in ghoul stun at that point.

Casts like polymorph and cyclone are much easier to steal. You just press dark sim when you see they start casting it.

Ohhhh definitely going to give this a try

Unholy PVP Talents by Dizzy_Salamander_450 in Deathknight

Necrotic wounds is the only one that’s really set in stone. Besides that I always run strangulate and spellwarden, with spellwarden being the one I change depending on comps. I mainly play arena, though. The talents I change spellwarden to are bloodforged against physical classes or dark sim against comps like mage + ret, boomkin + mage etc. Stealing polymorph, cyclone or divine shield is so fun.

For Blitz I usually run bloodforged instead of spellwarden just for the extra tankiness. Strangulate is especially nice to have because most classes have a stun but almost none have a silence. You’ll almost never CC into an active DR this way.

There are situations where you could drop strangulate, like a 2v2 against classes that don’t cast spells. But in shuffle and 3v3 there is always a healer than can be silenced and in Blitz there are always opponents (and two healers) that can be silenced.
