So then why are people so blah about them now but last season they were treated like liquid gold and like a rare commodity?
Bro, before they benched me I was parsing grey ON ALL THE BOSSES.
In Heroic Fyrakk, when I was trying to do my best, we kept losing on stage 2 of the fight. The moment they benched me? They got him down to 4%
Disappointment wouldn’t even register, it’d be relief that the person bringing your raid down is gone.
I just peaced out of the group, they were doing better without me and I’ve no right to ruin their good time.
Even if I did gear up, that pattern shows it was me bringing down the raid and not everyone messing up the mechanics, it’s simple pattern recognition.
Don’t they say that if every issue I have is consistent, then it is me that is the problem?
Not that I’m anywhere near Shad’s level of gameplay or anything, but I agree that you are approaching this with a defeatist mentality and I think that’s your biggest problem. If everyone else can believe in you, can’t you at least try? These are just obstacles to overcome, that everyone has to deal with. Everyone!
Tell those intrusive thoughts to shut the hell up!
Something I struggle with often in WoW is my lack of goals in game, but it sounds like you have been gifted with a goal to work towards. I hope you can change your mind and see it that way. It sucks to see someone down in such a way.

Idk what you mean. S1 it was the hot stuff. S2 it was crap unless you had full sockets. S3 it’s just the best option for some.
I’ve been there. I don’t have a lot of advice for it, just don’t stay there, and don’t get down on yourself in general about it. 
Then why is it good now than when Lariat came out?
Also I dunno about that site, if the Michael Jordan of Enhancement Shamans can’t do his stuff right and you saying his advice is garbage, what makes the people on the site you use more reputable?
Having Anxiety and Depression kinda makes this just a smidge harder. Heh
As someone who can relate, my only advice is to keep trying. Keep talking those intrusive thoughts down. I know it is easier said than done and that my advice seems like general, throwaway voice lines, but we are often our own worst critics and you don’t want to be a self fulfilling prophecy with those negative thoughts. I am a believer of magical thinking and manifesting reality by putting certain things out into the universe.

It’s worse now than when it came out. It’s just the best option for some specs.
Then don’t use it.
Didn’t say that. In fact, regarding talent builds I specifically said that the WoWhead one is the same as the subcreation one.
It’s live data. And the fact that you’ll only take data from one source seems like part of the issue. You’re more than welcome to go to one, singular source.
I am now also of the mind that you are being defeastist and looking for excuses.
Did you evolve it? Scarlet and violet tracks shinies weirdly where any Pokemon you evolve also bumps the counter up one, not just catching them.
The problem is I don’t know which is the right answer, you could pile a bunch of things in front of me and tell me “one of these pills will cure all your ailments” but then expect me to have the wherewithal to know which is the right pill and which is a placebo.
How do I find the right answer among a sea of others? I’m not smart enough to know the talent tree numbers off to bat, champ.
And it’s not fair to others who might need the same advice
Dude, the right answer to what?
I don’t understand. I look at subcreation, murlokio, and wowhead, and within 15 minutes I have all the info I need on how to build my toon.
Which build would be best, there are multiple builds and multiple answers.
And since I can’t trust Wowhead, anything similar to that is taken out, so now I’m stuck with different builds that I gotta continuously experiment with and waste hours trying to figure out which one parses the best
And I don’t even know where people get these colors for parsing or whatever the heck parsing is!
I followed the BiS for Raid drops, I followed the talents to a T, I even followed the rotation and spent all night working on that.
And now I’m told that the Wowhead gearing and talents are all garbage because they parsed me gray?
So yeah, I’m at a freaking loss here!
Been there. Nothing like being top DPS for 20-30 pulls, executing everything perfectly while watching others struggle and die, then lose focus for a moment and die stupidly when the group gets the kill.
I think this a big part of why sometimes I play a simple DPS some seasons, it’s just nice to chill out.
Now it’s opposite season and I’ve been playing Heals/Tank and hrm not sure how i feel on it. I do like always being in demand i guess. Associated pressure is a bit much at times.
How is it both my BiS and the worst?
Oh I see what’s going on here, trying to say I’m a garbage player by giving me a garbage item.
Real cute
Think about it this way: They saw you die and it reminded them to focus up and play better.

Nah, it wasnt that unfortunately. Just one i didn’t notice. Probably one of the newer ones I’m not familiar with, or with a subtle shiny form. Marill was very obvious.
As far as I know it doesn’t count unless your in combat with it (I could be wrong tho), and they usually have a sparkle animation in battle. Feels kinda hard to miss to me lol.
That still sucks tho
someone has to be the floor tank
You’re either just straight up trolling or you need to reevaluate the environment you’re currently playing in, ie. the difficulty of content you do and the class you play.
If it’s worse then why would it be BiS? You said it yourself, it’s either really good or really bad, which is it?
Why is everyone so dang wishy-washy with their answers, can you give me a straight answer about the Lariat? YOU LITERALLY SAID it was bad so don’t act like you didn’t say that.
