The sheer number of FoTm tanks that refuse to hit maintenance defensives and become paper DPS with big HP pools, the Disc healers that don’t actually heal with their atonement, the Prevokers that can’t fathom how to use Echo, and the DPS that do barely more than the FoTm tanks.
What is going on right now?
My assumption is io score hasn’t balanced out yet so you can’t really tell, but like… If you’re going to sign-up to an M+, I would at the absolute minimum expect you to know how to play your class.
The problem with keys is the reduction in levels so there’s people in / signing up for keys they have no business being in. I pretty much have to sit here for 10 minutes every key auditing every single healer that signs up now because bad healers cried about having to do damage so now they actually have to heal and play the game but surprise most people that play healer are just simply not good at the game in general. It’s basically just healers signing up for my 8-10 keys that couldn’t even get past like 2k score at any point in DF and I already know my key is inted if I invited them in the first place.
I just made a post about it. I cap out around portal level and I already feel at +5 that its too hard for most people. I dont want to be stressed out already.
The debuffs from the “chomp” or “crunch” is unavoidable now??? I did Mists in Shadowlands and just did a +2. They changed which mobs felt more dangerous.
Also yes, there are two packs in the maze a DH must use Meta for or we fall over like paper. Even happened to me because my expectations of what would be dangerous didn’t match shadowlands memory LOL
They made changes to the way stops interact with mobs this expansion so the fox bleed is basically unavoidable. For example if I 7s kidney it during the cast, blind it after, warstomp after, it’s still instantly recasting the bleed bite after each of those CC so there’s no other option than just nuking it. Same with the moth mob that puts anima injection on people that just deletes people if they’re not instantly dispelled.
The condensing of M+ levels is truly to blame for all this. Its effecting both ends of the playerbase in that it is near impossible to get invited to 0s or +2s unless your ilvl is 10-15ilvls above the gear that drops but the party leaders’ strict requirements for invites are caused by the increase in difficulty compared to the average player that wants to do +2s.
I"m a pug tank but this is probably going to be my last season.
I’m just over the toxic BS from dps. They will die on every trash pack and one of htem will die on every boss fight but as soon as i make one mistake then they all gang up on me and talk so much trash it’s unbelievable.
Telling me to off myself or calling me super bad and blaming me for their keybricking when they have the same rating as I do …or sometimes higher.
It’s like really…? can you be decent at wow and NOT be a prick or is that too much ask?
These are the same jerks who can’t manage to stay alive on boss fights, not butt-pull packs we can skip and who yell GO GO GO all the time. It’s tired, its played out. Get a life. Being good at wow doesn’t make you a winner in anythign BUT that.
As a 597ilvl dps that has always gotten KSM within the first 2 weeks of playing each season, it shouldnt take me 2 hours and an uncountable amount of declines or delists to finally get an invite for a Mythic0.
“Just make your own groups lol” Yea maybe i could but if everyone struggling to get invites just made their own groups, there wouldnt be enough people to que to fill those groups.
Here’s the forum i comment on.
I heal disc.
I’m a typical 3k player.
Let me tell you right now why your disc healer isnt getting any atonement healing:
You are too soft to survive.
Stop trying to tank a 6 key at 600 ilvl.
I shield, i radiance, and already you’re at 30% life, now I’m using my penance to heal you so you can handle another hit but then bam, you’re back to 20% health, now im holding my mouse over you and spamming flash heal while you face tank max damage until you finally just die.
If your disc isn’t getting atonement, it’s becaue you cant mitigate.
9/10 keys are fine then along comes mr bear or mr 600 who thinks he can triple pull and can simply do nothing but pull pull pull and then complain, and point fingers. Try healing, then you’ll have some idea.
I’m also a 3k player, have typically landed around there every season.
I also heal as Disc.
Let me tell you mr “disc player” why my priest is not healing with attonement.
They are not doing damage, and they are trying to play Disc Priest like a normal healer. They are casting penance on players, they put up their dot but refuse to spread it further than 1-2 tab targets, and their primary healing ability is Flash Heal.
My primary key tank (not my Druid) is a Prot Warrior. I take zero damage. None.
The healer is not struggling to heal me, the healer is struggling to heal the group, because of aforementioned reasons.
I have a weird story to share that happened today. I ran a 2 Necrotic wake, the tank pulls the whole first room and we wipe, about 4x and then the group leaves. The tank whispers me and says, “hey it’s retail, lol this is a joke”, I’m like “what does that have to do with pulling an entire room and dying?” He just continued to say lol retail over and over. Then I ignored him. It’s quite a yarn I know…
