Retail First Mythic fail

11 Upvotes

I just leveled my first alt, a holy priest. I'm not really one to meta, I like to make a character and slowly learn to play it the best I can. Everything has been a breeze so far, but I just tried a Mythic and my god. Blazikon was just unmanageable. Everyone's health bars drop all at once and it takes so long to respond. Feels like everything is over after just a couple of GCDs.

How can I practice this? Heroics don't seem difficult enough. M0 pugs are death for me right now. Holy priest might be one of the worst classes for dealing with this kind of fight but I want to figure it out.

Retail Darkglare Boon vs Last Resort? VDH

Upvotes

Hey fellow VDHs

I'm looking for some advice on my Vengeance Demon Hunter setup while pushing keys (12 to 15 range). I've been running Dark Glare Boon and I'm currently sitting at almost 12 resil.

I've been using DarkGlare Boon consistently and it synergizes really well with my cooldown rotation and overall VDH gameplay. But recently I’ve been thinking that Last Resort might be more beneficial as I start pushing into tougher keys. Sometimes things spiral fast in the 12 to 15 range and that cheat death could mean the difference between timing the key or wiping

DarkGlare Boon: After channeling Fel Devastation, it reduces the cooldown of the ability by 15 to 30% and refunds 15 to 30 Fury

Last Resort: When you take fatal damage, it triggers Metamorphosis instead, saving you from death. Can only happen once every 8 minutes

For those of you pushing similar or higher keys, when do you make the switch? Is it worth giving up the flow of Dark Glare Boon for the safety net of Last Resort?

Thanks!

Please help me. (Currently prot pally)

Retail Is it ok to take my time?

9 Upvotes

Recently got back into the war within after a few months of being really busy with work and life. Changed my class to DH and was having an absolute blast through the <80 campaign. I reached level 80 and a lot opened up to me to do which was kinda overwhelming at first. Looking through the campaigns there seems to be a certain way of progressing however many people i talk to and or watch online try to skip through all this content and go straight to the undermine section where as i am going through the storyline set out. I know this game is one where you do what you want when you want but is there a massive negative to doing what i am doing if i am in no rush to be doing high level endgame, low + mythic or normal raids would be what i am comfortable at.

Any opinion is greatly appreciated.

Retail any reason to do Siren Isle now?

50 Upvotes

I played halfway through Season 1 but quit before Siren Isle.

Is there any compelling reason to do it now, excluding cosmetics?

I heard there is a ring, but I assume it would take quite a bit of questing to max it out... don't feel like doing that if it's not worth the time. thx

7 Upvotes

I never played a healer before but I assume in M+ you have to do some damage to help with the timer and not just afk heal. I am aware that in lower keys this probably doesn't matter and also I am aware that a healer will not be topping DPS charts.

Hi all, I'm in a guild that is currently trying to get curve. We mostly need gear from the last 3 bosses and were therefore keen to do a skip run. If we skip to MugZee after defeating Vexie, can we go back?

I am struggling with this boss and what to do when the sparks appear. I start tanking the boss where he stands with my back to his console. I dodge the beams and then wait for the sparks to appear.

When the sparks appear I am struggling to find a pool to lure it into and end up running around and then getting knocked out or hit with the spark. Any tips?

2 Upvotes

I looted a Bismuth Lootbox, but as a hunter with no lockpicking, I can’t open it. I know rogues can handle these with lockpicking, but I’m wondering as a high-level engineer, is there any gadget or crafted item that lets non-rogues open locked boxes like this?

Or is this one of those "ask a rogue" situations?

Retail Resto druid M+ ui

4 Upvotes

I want to try out resto druid in M+ but didn’t know what was the best addon to track all the hots. I’ve been using default UI for most other classes but default ui shows a max of 3 hots at a single time. What’s the best simple addon or weak aura to keep track of hots on teammates like duration, stacks, etc.

I don’t like elvui/tukui

Retail Dreadwyrm Mythic Transmog - Farming Nighthold?

Upvotes

Hi guys,

I wanted to get the Dreadwyrm Armor from doing The Nighthold to get the transmog for my DK.

This is my first time seriously playing WoW ever and I am Lv. 80 with an ilvl of around 607. I have read that The Nighthold is a raid from Legion. Is that soloable now that this was a few expansions before? Is there anything I need to do in advance to get into the raid? How do I start that in solo?

I made the mistake of joining a raid for a Worldsoul Memory, but did not have a Radiant Echo in my bags. I could not enter the memory when everyone else did. Was this a bug, or is this just how it works?

Does each person in the raid have to have at least one Radiant Echo in order to enter?

Retail Just did my first LFR

79 Upvotes

It went very well! I've played the game casually on and off for a very long time, but never took it seriously or had intentions to do anything other than run around and do some questing.

Generally roll healers or mages, but decided to go blood DK this time around. For some reason this expansion really hooked me in a way that no other has. Got to 80, started doing the time walking dungeons, then today I figured I would try some undermine LFR runs to see how it goes.

I was a bit nervous, as I was one of two tanks in total (I believe). Did the dino boss and the sound boss, wiped once on each. Thought I was going to get absolutely clowned on, but I mentioned that I had never done a raid before and one of the players explained why we wiped (tanks are supposed to swap on the dino boss after each crash apparently, and the sound boss has to be kited so that the amplifiers are close enough to easily run to). Wrecked the boss the second time around both times, and even got a piece of the tier set 😎

Overall, very fun experience! I know it's just LFR (so not much of an achievement), but it was a great time and definitely has me interested in learning more / getting better geared so I can start tanking harder raids.

My only real complaint is with the visuals during a raid. It's ABSURDLY hard to tell what the hell is going on while playing, and my entire screen was constantly filled with a million different lights, sounds, effects, numbers, etc. If I didn't have an addon telling me when different things were happening, I 100% would have been totally useless. During the trash sections I couldn't even tell what enemies were around - was essentially just swinging wildly and pulling / taunting whatever stuck out as "dangerous" (in comparison to the other trash mobs).

For anyone who has been eyeing LFR but doesn't know if it's for them - give it a try! I was in pretty much the most public role imaginable, and it was a great time!

Why can I not sell these items? I got them from doing daily covenant rewards, they are worth quite a bit, but when I try to sell them to a vendor, they gray out and cannot do anything with them, can move them in bags, cant delete, cant sell?

Classic Help me understand what these different Classic realms/servers offer.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am currently playing retail however I find myself with some downtime and wanted to play some Classic while waiting for reset.

I opened it but Im very confused by what Realm/Server type to choose between Seasonal/Anniversary/Classic era - for example what is the difference between Anniversary and Classic era? What is the current content on each of these servers? The seasonal I understand is Season of Discovery - is this faster to level, has different raids, but ultimately won't be around for much longer? Sorry for the ignorance but I just wanna understand since I've only ever played since Wotlk back in the day.

To give an idea what I'm looking for - I would like a PvP server where the levelling is slightly faster as I'll be going with a Rogue. I saw Spineshatter as a good server as its very Full and active. My other choice was Living Flame on Seasonal.

Thank you!

Retail Restarting in war within. Knowledge gaps.

3 Upvotes

Not a new MMO player and have played plenty of wow up to cataclysm back the day. Been on FF14 (still am) up to recently.

Heard war within was good so got my shaman to level 80. But I'm really confused on how the game gives no clear indication on wtf to do.

Like dungeons I barely get a cast off before the tank has killed the pack. And people just rush 100 mph. I was getting killed on a boss on the airship dungeon with no idea wtf was happening. Then I'm supposed to fly off. But you can't mount in combat? But now you can?

Someone said oh that was in a dragonflight boss. OK..... but if I never played that how am I meant to just know that?

I can't do mythic dungrons as I just won't get accepted. But heroics fall over and don't give any I level increase. So how am I supposed to gear?

It all seems very messy and I have no idea where to start. It used to be - normal - heroic - raid - heroic raid (if the exp had it). Which was nice and straightforward.
