#PullTheRipcord

To be fair why would a covenant need a 30 min quest to trust you. The concept is dumb. If they feel betrayed then let me remind them that I’m not amused with their bulls* and let me side with the maw to eliminate them.

Actually poisons do a ton for outlaw during raiding. We never have 100% uptime on the boss usually, there are things that need to be run out and mechanic’s that need doing. Having something tick on the boss while your not there is huge especially when you have no large damage boost to pick you numbers back up when you have been off the boss for a few seconds.

Preach realizes he’s past his prime, so he coaches his old guild like a creepy phys-ed teacher in a wife beater and sweat pants.

Have they? I have heard streamers say that but I haven’t seen anything from Blizzard in any of the interviews about how long it is

Dreadblades?

They’ve said it’ll be like an Aldor/Scryers type grind, which took weeks of rep grinding.

I mean, he’s doing pretty alright, is generally well liked and continues to do great in mythic while you’re clearing +7s and LFR wrathion, so.

Mind your place.

Preach is a mythic raider though?

I mean, pretty sure he’s also loaded af. But, I don’t know that for a fact, just speculating.

Oh I understand…it is the principle behind Korean MMORPGS but BlizZard fails to understand how grinding on a “main” works in that world.

  1. Grinding on a main in Korean MMORPGs is a long term progression that isn’t reset every two years or between every raid tier. Your samurai longsword you crafted to use for leveling at a C grade level and eventually replaced by B grade gear? Still has a use for a lower level alt of yours once they can equip C grade gear. Or, you can pass onto a friend or give to your clan mate. Or break down the components or sell to another player to circulate goods in the virtual economy.

To build that samurai longsword you went with your clan mates and hunted in a party for many months outside Giants Cave. Slowly but surely each clan member assembled enough longsword blades to construct a longsword. Order of upgrades was dependent upon your sub class or spec. A longsword was a bigger upgrade for a DPS than a tank. A blade dancer didn’t need to have a longsword upgrade first because they were a bufffer, plus they require two longswords to be constructed for dual wield.

  1. Upgrading your baseline abilities with points gained to increase potency. You traded the ability to gain skill points for adena/XP per hour. That opportunity cost was about which was more important for you to progress and was never capped.

  2. The impact of grinding was noticeable on a main. If your main was level 60 and most others are level 50 you do have an advantage over others (especially in castle sieges) and also how you engage NPCs throughout the world.

The more you focused on your main and gained higher levels the more opportunities opened up for more lucrative drops by facing NPCS that were higher levels.

So that is just a brief summary as to why grinding on a main mattered in L2.

Grinding on a main in WoW is very punishing in that the reward to time investment ratio isn’t there. Not to say the reward to time ratio in L2 was ever good. But there was no massive reset and that is why grinding on mains was a necessity for that style of Korean MMORPG.

There is no necessity in WoW to force people to grind on a single spec. It is purely a forced balanced decision that BlizZard can’t explain away no matter how hard they try.

I mean Wod pruning sucked, Legion legendaries acquistion was terrible, BFA azerith gear with ap farming was pretty terrible and classes are still terrible from their transition from Legion to BFA.

There’s always place for criticism. But for sure Preach isn’t gonna quit over that, he makes money out of wow.

Oh he gets carried in Mythic, while I relax and enjoy the end of an expansion. Nice.

I doubt he’s doing poorly in that area. So much unwarranted spite, it’s kinda sad.

Classic defence mechanism right here.

You’re like a rat who runs to his hole when pressed.

I didn’t see him participating IN the world first?

He was commentating on it, so in a way he kinda was…

I could be wrong, but didn’t he have the rank 1 Balance parse for a good while on one of the fights?

Imagine trying to act like WoD/Legion(before changes)/BFA didn’t have garbage systems.

He’s still raiding and parsing, so I don’t know what made you get out that info out of your …

I MEAN, hyperbolic and opinionated at best.

WoD pruning was necessary for the game. I still don’t understand why people crap on this. Ability bloat was becoming a massive issue. You can’t just keep adding spells to classes every expansion Zoumz. That’s not going to work…LOL
Though I was pissed they removed deep freeze. I’ll never forgive Blizz for that one.

I thought legion legendary acquisition was fun at first. Then months went by and I never got my “bis” legendaries. And I swapped specs from fire to frost so that didn’t help either. But you know what? I still did my AOTC and never had an issue. Its just another non-issue that’s being made an issue because people aren’t being given everything. Happens every expansion clearly.
