Hello everyone,

I raid and m+(haven’t killed mythic ulatek yet though) and just wanted to talk about how this season feels. I’ve seen some say this is the most balanced season ever in keys tuning wise, which could be true. However I think it’s more because of how absolutely awful gearing is this season. People are playing whatever comps their mains are simply because gearing up an alt to the same performance(especially if you’re a mythic raider) just isn’t possible. The amount of cantrips, the existence of 344 gear itself that also saves a million crests, the fact that you can’t even rekill the same heroic boss and coin it multiple times a week as catchup anymore. All of those, not even getting into the whole great vault/bonus roll discussions themselves all make this season feel horrible.

Then on the other side of things, you have groups in china who are ALL somehow around 339 ilvl, 9+ ilvls up on almost every other regions groups. It’s obviously rmt, but it just highlights the gear disparity between everyone else and the max which has never been this bad of a gap before. The dungeons and raids themselves also don’t help this season out much and I’m expecting it to go down as one of the worst received seasons this game has ever had.

Amazing run by this guild -- from their amazing WotLK kill videos to now. Lots of RWF raiders have been a part of this guild along the way. GG

With the last 2 bosses in Venomous Abyss and Kith'ix dropping 344 ilvl. The gap will be fairly large. Is the 0.1% M+ title even going to be achievable if you are not a CE raider?

From what I can tell, with Ascendant Venomstones in 12.1.5, AOTC/M+ only players will only be able to get to around 335.4 ilvl with no Mythic raiding.

• (2h STR spec)(4 slots @ 341, 9 slots @ 334, 2 crafts @ 331) = 335.4

If Mythic Kith'ix can be pugged like Rotmire was this brings it to 336.5 ilvl if the trinket and weapon are used.

• (2h STR spec)(3 slots @ 344, 2 slots @ 341, 8 slots @ 334, 2 crafts @ 331) = 336.5

Meanwhile CE players will be able to get to around 339.6 338.9 ilvl.

• (2h STR spec)(9 slots @ 344, 4 slots @ 334, 2 crafts @ 331) = 339.6
• (2h STR spec)(8 slots @ 344, 5 slots @ 334, 2 crafts @ 331) = 338.9

A 3.1-4.2 3.5 ilvl gap seems quite significant, or am I missing something? Last season there was only a 1-1.5 ilvl gap IIRC.

As a side note, this season seems miserable for competitive alts. Since bonus rolls are limited to once per boss per week and a lot of the BiS loot for many specs comes from the last 2 bosses of the raid.

Edit : Corrections made due to Kith'ix not dropping 344

I was hoping someone could take a look at my clip and see where I went wrong:

I'm trying to imitate this skip: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fcI-6tJqMaQ, but I'm not sure exactly what I messed up.

TBH, I'm not entirely sure how aggro logic works when doing skips like this. If anyone could explain I would appreciate it. Thanks.

What's the most efficient way to farm lower tier crests? Thinkin about filling up my champion/veteran/adventurer crests so that i'll be able to trade up as many as i can when they lift the crest caps. Any ideas? World events, hc dungeons give 10 crests at the and and i need 300-400 of each to reach their current cap.

Hi all,

Anyone is running into this? Every now and then I keep getting mana issues specially while offloading some pressure on the healer. I tend of do a lof of healing during dungeons and I don't know if it is normal for other prot palas.

So what I've been doing in voidscar on all my characters (tank/heal/DPS) is tagging the small squids from above while in the final boss arena for funnel (before or during the fight). This makes the whole pack to snap to you (slowly, and they evade for a while and behave weird, but eventually they all end up in the fight). About 95% of the time nothing goes wrong and we have some very easy funnel, but every now and then the boss just completely resets, wasting everyone's cooldowns and a bloodlust. I suspect that it might have something to do with walking too far into the arena, or maybe having misdirect or tricks messing with the threat tables, but I have no idea what's actually causing it. Does anyone know more about what's causing this issue?
