People have tens of thousands of gold from early incursions so that's quite natural they spend a lot on that. You also don't need these to clear the raid, only when you want to speedrun or parse pink: and for this purpose, 75g is insignificant.
It’s nearly impossible to have under 100g right now unless you’re just not playing. Most quests gives 5g+ and incursion runs give you tons of gold for little effort. That’s not even counting selling various materials/BoEs you stumble upon.
How do you "solo" the chain lightning mechanic? Also, how does the paladin go oom when he receives mana from healing? I'm guessing he was using crusader strike instead of the tank rune, which is grief in general but extra grief when the boss wipes threat every phase (and you can't taunt without that rune).
Or we could have a game version of WoW where dps have more baseline mechanics focused personal responsibility. It could even open the avenue to a huge skillful type of gameplay, where dps decisions are made to optimize being right at the threat threshold, and choosing which spell to use to not snap aggro. Even having the thought of, do I use this spell and hope it doesn't crit? As if it would crit I would snap aggro, but if it doesn't I'm still on the threat line.
You're over complicating it. I'm a tank main and I agree with everyone else saying it's not the fault of dps. You either learn how to pump threat or everyone is forced to sit on their hands because you can't do your role.
Imagine defending the multi-billion dollar company when they make a stupid change. They cba to even write up some patch notes, you think they give a shit about anything but our wallets?
It takes away the inconvenience and only draw back of having bank alts. Plus the idea the mail gets delivered (even though it's always a flat hour, should change depending on distances honestly) is good for everything feeling more real imo. Like I wouldn't cry if instant mail was added but I don't think it's needed.
This is correct. Bloodthirst scales with AP, so it’s not as big until you’re decently geared. Even then, devastate rune may perform better threat. Haven’t touched my warrior yet in p2.
Paladins can hold aggro no problem in an aoe group. That being said, I'm not face tanking if I round up more than 3-4 packs at a time. Esp in cath, those big pulls get spicy if there's no slows.
Can you share your spec and runes? I'm halfway through my thirties now, looking to do some solid SM farming for the final stretch. Wondering if it's still viable to go 2h + Divine Storm as well, or do you take a shield and the increased block rune?
As a dungeon degen, I'll say ret feels better personally unless I'm pulling 3+ packs at a time with caster aoe in my group. Even then, it's big pulls but a bunch of downtime waiting for mana afterwards.
Any tips for Ghamoo-ra? Did my second BFD on my mage alt and got significantly better parses with some lucky upgrades, but still parsing 60s on him and Akumai (forgot to restock mana pots and went oom at 20% on Akumai T_T).
Had a similarly geared "holy" paladin that stood at the entrance for a few minutes after summoning him. We booted him after seeing his gear and he rambled on about how he's been playing for 18 years and he has so many lv 25s he lost count which one this is. "I'm gonna add you to my global ignore list that hundreds of people follow".
Anyone seriously using GS to measure pugs is just dumb and lazy. Especially in vanilla where ilvl is not a great indicator of how good your gear is. You don’t want to join that raid.
Just use the HC addon on SoD servers. If you get enough people doing that (like on era), they might add a HC server but probably not. No need to shit on our parade.
I think what people hate is that 10-20% go straight into hosters pockets 5-10% into tank/healers. 5-10% for carries (some raids) and then rest is evenly split between raid.
Shamans can wear Edgemasters. You can pick whatever race you want if you are going to be sweaty. the dual wield rune also gives an additional 5% chance to hit.
I just want to pick the right faction on the right server. I started play Horde on Defias Pillager in HC. it was fine at first. people everywhere. But eventually all the big streamers rolled Alliance on it and all the Horde dried up. LFG Bulletin Board is so empty.
It seemed pretty clear based on server names which would be popular for each faction. Skull rock is the name of the cave in durotar (horde zone) and defias pillagers are mobs in westfall (alliance zone). Hopefully they keep that naming scheme for SoD so I don't pick the wrong server.
Locks are the bane of my existence. I don't even heal them if they are particularly life tap happy just out of sheer spite.
So you’re lazy
so you came to reddit to insult strangers and be a nuisance.
A healer refusing to heal someone because of the class they play? Yeah, I’ll call them lazy every time.

The majority of people did not spam incursions pre-gold nerf. Most people got 200g at most from doing it after realizing how busted the xp/hr is.
Imagine having 75g.

As a mage healer, I start looking an hour before, 2 out of 5 times I find a group, most of the times I have to attempt solo or skip.
"Mage LF STV Mage group". You all mass regen each other on res, run into people, spam arcane explosion, and get 3k+ coins.
That is the way... hit the f5 when not in combat
There’s a key bind for it?! I’ve just been spam clicking the bottom button on pally power.
Counter example; I joined a "90+ parse only" pug, since my main (96 avg parse) didn't have a guild run that lockout.

I've OT as warrior a few times, what I usually do is.
You can definitely OT in dps gear for all fights. Especially everything before the last two.
Or what? You gonna sue them? lol... entitlement is wild!

Wsg is absolutely easier to farm. Being able to hit revered in the battle for ashenvale, and get 1k rep a week at revered is huge.
Yeah, how’s that going to work for new players/alts? Idk about your server, but ashenvale is dead on mine. No easy wsg rep anymore.

"It takes away the inconvenience"
I know about bloodthirst beeing the best Button to press at lvl 60 with decent gear, wasnt sure about lvl 40.
This is correct. Bloodthirst scales with AP, so it’s not as big until you’re decently geared. Even then, devastate rune may perform better threat. Haven’t touched my warrior yet in p2.
Most casual people are not 40 yet, so they don't pug.
You haven’t been playing “way too much” if you aren’t 40.

Pretty sure I did that when I farmed WSG rep in my paladin. Swapped from Ret to Heal multiple times to join premade groups.
Holy pal is awful in BGs though. Ret is a nice, tanky FC + pursuit of justice to cap quicker. Avenger's shield is OP for slowing EFCs or peeling too.
So I am a high parsing mage main.

In vanilla classic, you don’t rip, you don’t rake. You shred to 5 combo points, then you bite. Then you do it again.
That was because of debuff cap. Rip is a good finisher if you can fit it in. Rake was trash because it didn’t scale.

The faction balance only applies to PvP realms.
Just use the HC addon on SoD servers. If you get enough people doing that (like on era), they might add a HC server but probably not. No need to shit on our parade.

You're getting scammed if more than 10% of the total pot is going to host + bonus cuts.
Shamans can wear Edgemasters. You can pick whatever race you want if you are going to be sweaty. the dual wield rune also gives an additional 5% chance to hit.
Shaman can’t use swords though, so edgies really only give them +dagger. Better off just using muggers belt or aclg.

Can people stop bitching about "Blizzard should do this" or "Blizzard should do that" before we even get a chance to play the damn thing?
No.
