Hows everyones progression going?

How is everyones progession in the new season coming along? Trying a new spec? Hows the pvp conquest grind? Im enjoying the new zones & raids & content, while learning the new raids thru LFR, im having fun and my item level progress has been good for my level of play. I dont hate Delves but tbh they are a damn chore without a max level Brann and curios. Ive been getting around to starting to do them, bear in mind I really didnt do the first 2 seasons, no zekvir, underpin. I guess i needed a bit of a transition from group play instances to a solo one but i struggle with the motivation to want to do them alone tbh, i still have alts i need to get the belt for and yes i know we start back on teir 4 but again its my motivation to WANT to do them NOT the difficulty. Weirdly i sat outside a Delve for 45 mins trying to psyche myself up to go in, i ended up going back to grinding UM content instead, didnt want to deal with Branns low level, lack of useful curios or :poop: A.I. :man_facepalming: :man_shrugging: :rofl: Also the games rng has given me belts starting at 681, only within 10 i lvls of what the belt starts at (691)? Definetly doesnt help with the motivation to do a Delve +4 more times, when i can lvl the rng belt in a few lfg raids. Im not dissing Delves but idk i guess the gameplay satisfies the hardcore solo player which i am not lol.

Raiding has been fun too. I like some of the boss fight mechanics that keep you frosty :wink: and sharp & the fight itself interesting. The the WB Rethenor fight is fun whether u know the fight or not imo. Dying now isnt as punishing as it was before with getting back to your body & fight, love the waystones and respawn points too.

Been looking to trying out tanking too, altho im very nervous about it as, im unsure what class to pick to tank with and how aggro works with tanking. Also gonna try healing too, fist weaving & disc priest seem to be good choices to try coming from DPS role, idk

How is some of your gameplay & progress going?

Zero tier pieces, 1800 IO, trinket off Dimensius. Not doing Delves anymore as they have made them too chore-ish.

Two piece for Pres Evoker is 1 minute chopped off my god CD, making it one minute. It’s kind of a gray area set bonus. I don’t NEED it, but having it is crazy.

I’m enjoying it. I just hit item level 682 last night and that’s as high as I need to go so now I can switch to another character and start playing them.

i’m having fun doing m+, i’m a bit under 2700 now and hoping to finish up resil 12s this week.

i have only done wing 1 of lfr and the first two bosses on normal. i’m not a raider anymore. but of course i will most likely try to pug trinket bosses this week, because the good trinkets for me are almost always in raid :slight_smile:

outlaw 4pc feels terrible. i miss last season’s tier and might actually go back to it for a while. it’s only slightly lower dps but feels so much smoother.

Lol oh yeah i might try Mythic plus for the first time too,been trying to keep an open mind about it but I dont know :poop: about “keys” or any of the ratings terminology. Im biased cuz i tried one back in the day and i remember the whole experience as “sweaty” :upside_down_face: my friend was like “we have to do 4 more too…” :grimacing: :man_facepalming: :rofl:

Keys are weird because they’re harder at the lower level then progressively get easier as everyone joins in concert.
It’s basically synchronized swimming, easiest way to put it.

I started doing 6s and 7s this week and the relief I feel is palpable. The stakes are higher on the mechanics, but everyone takes less damage and does more damage. I just have to pray they will kick and use stops on trash.

Been playing my shaman, found it easier to fight the Nexus Princess on that Character than DH & I’m only having problems on the stupid guessing game part. Ilvl wise my Shaman quickly out pasted this character which is fine ill spend sometime catching up later, donno if ill be maining DH come Midnight, Shaman is pretty Kino.
M+ didnt do much in S1 & S2 i did get high 1600 though, but been struggling to get groups recently for S3
Delves are fun been really enjoying those, struggling with Nexus Princess i believe that i can get her down before Midnight other than that just been doing quests.
Shaman got two T pieces DH got nothing, ree.

Annoyed because I can’t replace my S2 tier until I have 4pc.

Anybody need trinkets or weapons? This is the most ironic complaint ever but these wont stop dropping for me.

Id love two more tier pieces to get my 4 piece…

See raiders are way ahead of people just doing keys right now. There is no way I could get 4 piece and 704 without clearing Heroic right now.

Doing okay. Getting roped into Delves for the tinted Helm I want as a mog, then gonna be overworld farming for the rest of the Ethereal-looking set.

After that, not really gonna push Mythic+ this Season. Just gonna do LFR and maybe Normal Manaforge, and RP. Maybe clear out more of the side-quests.

I thought it was just me. At first I loved them, but now they seem MUCH more grindy than adventuresome.
Not to mention… I dunno how they managed it, but Bran is actually worse now in S3 than he was in S2.

I got one hero tier piece from raid, catalyzed two hero pieces I got from M+, and got some veteran gloves from LFR. If you don’t have full tier set yet, it’s always worth running LFR to see what you can get to tide you over.

I have not logged on in the last two weeks… delves are hitting like mack trucks…brann is broken…

Nobble already gave us end of the story before anyone even got to the raid …
And we still have 11.2.5 and 11.2.7 …the story has already ended…so what’s the freaking point of logging on…when we know in 11.2.7…there going be giving gear away…

So why do the grind???..

They’ve made acquiring the keys way way way grindier, I don’t really care about the Delve track per se. I’m more of a buy the disguise type of person rather than buying the thing to summon whats her face, plus I’m not using Delves as a gear source anymore so what point do they even have for existing lul.

I only got 1 catalyst charge, am I doing something wrong?

Frost DK changes made me go from not thinking to thinking a little bit and rearranging a 10-year-old button layout which has been causing some internal struggles.

New zone is ok; I like the new dungeon and delve. I’ve only done the raid for the last boss story mode so far (no lfr or anything).

Gearing feels about the same pace as last season minus maybe 1 hero drop from week one since I didn’t get my delvers journey to 2 until this week.

My bank is still a disaster.

Yeah i have plan out everything & keep running back & forth switching roles for him due to some delves needing X or if im doing it at a higher tier.

You get an extra catalyst charge from hitting 2k io, which is definitely worth doing. Pretty sure you can do it with all untimed 8s.
