Why raider io exists

No that’s just stupid.

I don’t actually think you are bad either.

I think that amongst the pool of players which are signing up for 15 keys you are average or slightly below average.

That is what your stats suggest.

I think this makes you mad because you don’t get insta invited and blame raider io rather than accepting the fact that with the plethora of DPS signing up to keys you just might not be the best choice.

I was trying to go by your logic. Which seems to have triggered you because you immediately became defensive

Probably because raid loot tables are fixed and the pool of gear is smaller, you’re just dealing with the rng of “will anything I need from this boss drop?” and you can coin bosses in a raid to try to target specific loot. In M+ if you coin the loot table is from the entire dungeon and you cannot coin bosses. The weekly cache is also from every loot table from every dungeon. The chances of getting an exact piece you need are pretty low.

No.
You could be the world’s most amazing player.

But if your io is low, you’re inexperienced, and I’m not risking a key I hope to time on a random stranger with no experience.

Io is not, and has never been, an indicator of ability. It’s merely an indicator of experience… And a highly accurate one at that.

I like to think of it as panning for gold.

You run water and minerals through a skimmer in hopes to find gold (Good Players). Every once in awhile you come across a piece of pyrite (Fools Gold). It isn’t guaranteed but you might hit the lotto.

However you sure will make a bigger payout panning for the gold, than complaining standing there complaining the system of doing it is wrong.

It is but people don’t want good enough they want the best so for now I think its unlikely you will get into a 15 without 470 as dps.

lol.

good old X dividing the community more and more every day.

X = wpvp, arena, rbgs, raiding (mythic, heroic, normal, lfr), pet battles, long-boi mount, trial of style, love rocket mount, arena master achievement, the insane title… etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

The whole game is about out doing everyone else. If you haven’t put in the work, you don’t get the price.

I agree a chest for raiders would be nice. However I feel like raiding in general gives more loot and typically most of your BiS pieces which might be why you don’t get one for raiding.

Also I don’t know what they could really reward you with? One teir higher gear in the chest? However then everyone would just spam heroic for the next 8 months until they were full BiS Mythic gear, without ever stepping foot into it.

That’s a good point, that could be why. However it has it’s drawbacks in variety, It sucks to be stuck behind a boss with gear you can’t use at all and know it. Mythic plus seems to have a faster generalized gear up and a lower specific gear up. Raiding has a slower generalized gear up and a faster specific gear up.

Wait what? Oh no they tried that.

Hey don’t beat up on WoD i’m one of the few people who liked it XD.

I miss WoD MM )': Blizzard why you do this to me.

It’s true about the mythic raid gear, that did happen in legion. However by the time you got to that point in Legion the next patch came out. And let us not forget the loot boxes love of repeats. So the system really does nothing but allow people to progress, the same as it does for the people in the mythic plus dungeons.

Frankly I doubt it.

There’s no one in this game who doesn’t want to get better.

But there’s also no one better who doesn’t just say “lol quit n00b”.

If people give advice in a kind way, they give it to guildies only.

Yea, but at that point do you even want the system there? This game is already littered with RNG. I don’t really like system’s where the lucky get ahead personally.

Already starting to hate these corruption pieces pretty badly. I have 5 so far and all of them rolled extremely bad traits. So i’m watching people fly past me on the meter that I was close to a week ago.

I can understand that. But sadly if you hate the RNG for one then it needs to apply to both.

Personally I would love to see all these extra gear upgrades separated from the actual gear and put onto their own loot table. Then the trick would be to get these gear up’s and put them onto the best armor you can. I think that might be fun.

Tivoli : nah not trolling…I know of DnD but the amount of room is rly low…other than that cant rly rely on my mouse and keyboard much atm XD…press left arrow…nothing happen until 0.8 sec later…my click also have random release even though i hold down the click…that said…assuming my stuff would work right…did think bout DnD but its not gonna be any use in my current situation…other than that…i generally prefer gorefiend grasp to nicely stack up the mobs and get loose aggro on me if somehow a dps hit so hard that aggro rip off(rare but occur)…i only used my DnD talent so far in the 2 vs 2 Arena due to gorefiend being entirely useless in Arena…nyway should not be my job to apply slow as blood dk…Gorefiend Grasp can also be use as a mass interrupt…what i’am saying is there are classes that come with slow skills at base or the other 2 talent are so garbo that it should be their best talent pick…….as far as I know…Rogue crippling poison…Shaman(roots)……druid…Typhoon…knockback and maybe something I forgot ?..warrior//monk aoe stuns…warlock shadowflame(aoe stun)……mage(nothing as arcane)……I think fire/frost have aoe slow if not wrong ?..hunter tar trap(same effect as dk D&D)…nything i’am missing there ?

Maybe I’m not the worst BM Hunter ever. Even I know to use Mutishot to at least keep up your pet’s cleave in AoE situations.

Raider io exists so I can avoid players like you. Item level doesn’t give us context on if somebody is performing their rotation correctly or not. Corrupted gear, azerite traits, essences, all matter much more than a sloppy rotation right now. You can have a high item level without having access to to the right azerite traits, corrupted gear, or essences.

It is absolutely your job. You do it better than any other class besides maybe a frost mage and you know better than your DPS when you need to kite to drop stacks.

Aka not outlaw rogues. Also they would have to be spamming fan and also it’s only like a 50% snare and not 100% to proc on every mob even if they do spam fan.

Like a 45 second cooldown and if they walk out of totem they arent snared. Also only 50%.

Dazed for like 3 seconds. Far more useful for knocking casts or moving mobs out of sanguine. Not a reliable snare.

Blood DKs are one of the best tanks for necrotic kiting. DnD is like a 15s CD with random refreshes and a 90% aoe snare. If you can’t drop stacks with it idk what to tell ya. Don’t blame your teammates for that one. Managing necrotic as a tank is 100% your job.
