Why do I do dungeons on Tues mornings?

Every time its awful. I logged in at 5 AM this morning and a guild mate said he wanted to try a new build before work. So I said why not. We pugged a group as 2 DPS. The tank the group leader got was a 451 DH for a +18 Rook.

I swear I kept Blessing of Sacrifice and lay on hands on CD. My monk friend spent every spare CD he had to keep him alive. He pulled small and still went SPLAT. His ilvl was not made for an +18.

Why do I do this. My monk friend felt like that Rick and Morty meme "Lets go. Quick adventure. 20 min in and out.

I thought for sure this was going to be a post about procrastination.

Well… to be fair I WAS hoping to get in 2 before work to get me to 8. I ended the week at 7/8 done.

It gets worse the later in the week. Tuesday evening pugs (after reset) will have sub 3 minute boss kills in heroic. Monday evening pugs will have a tank beating half the DPS.

Solo Shuffle is the inverse of this. If you queue tonight, for example, its going to be miserable.

thank God, it wasn’t me I saw BRH and was like did a do an 18 today? Nope just a 13. Although I am item level 460.

Man, I don’t know how you can even play before work, tbh. The anxiety I would get trying to squeeze in a “quick” ‘anything’ before I left for work would make a mess of my head the rest of the day.

I envy your ability to do that.

Procrastination?

11

wasnt the group leader. We should have just left lol.

12

lol on paper yes it is. But not for me at all. I mean, when I was a child, I couldnt even watch bat-man before I left for school.

I am a get up, get ready, get out type. I can not sit around and relax at all in the AM if I have someplace to go or something to do.

It’s even worse in the afternoon… What am I going to do with myself till 2??? eff me.

I have 1 1/2 hrs from the time I get up to the time I gotta leave. I reserve 30 min for shower and dressing. But if a run cuts into that I work an office job so its not like I get sweaty. So I can skip shower for 1 day.

451 is sort of low to tank an 18. I’d want 460+ for a pug. Your friend should have tested that new build in a 12.

I joined a dungeon a couple weeks ago and the tank and healer both had sub 400 ilvl. It was an 11 I think I was farming wyrms.

I say “you know you’re gonna get annihilated right?” as well “you can just buy 415 gear for gold on the AH”

both disregarded me and I started the key because I wanted to see how well it went, genuinely hoping that I was wrong, but knowing that I was right.

It went exactly as well as you might think.

I guess I don’t see the issue. I was doing 18s at 450 in season 2 gear? 15s in 440. /shrug

I give you props for even doing dungeons. I stopped doing group dungeons when Blizz screwed them up pre-BFA (?) with making them take 4 times as long and offering less XP than they used to. I think it was fixed later on but I’ve not been back to do group dungeons since than and haven’t even wanted to do group dungeons after that because I constantly flash back to that garbage. I just can’t get myself to do dungeons anymore when they are relevant. :frowning:

To each their own.

But were you getting turned into a bloody pile of flesh on the floor every 3-4 pulls?

19

Nope. But according to you, I should have been due to my ilvl.

Ilvl wasn’t the issue.

Was doing a quicky Nighthold LFR with Mortis. 8min left before reset, one more boss to go!
But apparently, you can do the entire raid cross-faction, except for the Gul’dan fight.
