I keep bouncing between picking specs I enjoy vs avoiding overplayed ones, even when they are objectively strong.

Like for example I love Ret Paladin but man, its just so popular It's everywhere. Every M+ group I've been on has at least one, some even have two.

Hello, I have been playing GW2 for a while and it’s been GREAT. I decided to try WOW because it’s the holy grail of MMORPGS and I had the idea that if I gave it an honest chance I would love it. I got the free trial and I’m taking it slow but I’m starting to doubt, and here is my main reason.

Questing/Leveling
My experience with WOW so far is that the questing/leveling consists mostly of doing quests in the world, my problem is that I’ve only played for a few hours and it’s just so damn repetitive. WOW quest is “kill 5 spiders” okay now your done, next quest: “kill 10 spiders”, next quest, “kill 5 gnolls”, and it just KEEPS REPEATING, and that’s just it. I can’t stand it.

In GW2 if I want to level up I just open my map, go and play a mini-game on the map, go and explore all the points of interest on the map, find hidden collectibles on the map, come across 5 players defending a stronghold on the map and jump in and help with the fight, find bounty’s and hunt them down, ect

Is the quest formula in WOW strictly this way? Do the quests get better? Am I missing something? I’m not gonna play WOW if it’s just “kill 5 spiders” complete quest and repeat for 100 hours simulator.

I want to like WOW, please help me out!

I have ilvl 271, demonology Warlock.

I reach dps between 45,000 and 50,000 in M+ (not talking about 15 or sth, think bellow 10). Apparently i should be reaching over double. I know about tyrant thing and all that. I know how to generate shards and all. And it's still like this. Didn't mind it earlier but got people yelling i'm trash and should just quit the game 2 dungeons in a row and like, it's not fun.

I've watched like dozen guides already and they're saying the same thing: build up imps while tyrant is active, spam implosion on packs. I do all that and it's still the same. Is there something important i'm missing? Or like, just accept it's not for everyone? i'm not that good at games really, but didn't think i'm literally 3x worse than random Joe

Should I cast lust early to let us use the entire window?

On some fights like Boss 2 of Seat, you’ll use the full lust window regardless.

But on Boss 3 (mini Lura) the vuln window is about 10 seconds and ends in the map itself ending. So should I just use it 20 seconds earlier and let it tick down instead of exactly during the vulnerability phase?

Always like 200-300k AOR and maybe 70-100 single target. Here’s my worse run yesterday in a +17 AA (my key and I’m hard stuck on 17 resi because of my poor DPS)

Tried a +12 earlier, tank didn't pull the side platforms before the boss. First time I've seen that, but also my first 12 for that dungeon. Anyway, boss does his knock back, and out of habit I have my back towards the platform and pull the mob, and we wipe. It was entirely my fault, I noticed that we didn't pull them first, but muscle memory took over and I didn't think about where I was standing.

As keys get higher and routes/strategies change, is it normal to not pull either platform before the boss? Is this a high key thing that our group wasn't prepared for, or a careless tank?

New to ranking and before I start joining dungeons, etc. I’d love to hear tips and tricks and suggestions.
BTW I am a BM Monk

Sometimes I see streamers looking on items from lets say Black Temple. The warglaives for an example have stats that looks like something for a lvl 10.

Can you five man that raid at low lvls?

Solo it?

I haven't played Retail WoW for a decade, since Legion came out in 2016. I created a Demon Hunter and didn't finish the beginning zone for it, and now when I try to play it, I can't access the Class using Chromie or in the present time. Any advice or recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading my post.

Has anyone had their guild move to another realm?

I was healing a m12 skyreach as a resto Druid and the Druid tank told me not to use my externals on him, I guess he ment Ironbark. Is this common? Do tanks not like when healers use shield on them? Genuinely curious about this to improve my healing performance 🙏

Is there an area on the guides where it has the copy loadout code?

Hi,

yesterday we finished a +10 key intime. I got a ring I dont need and wanted to trade it with one of the group members. Since all of my gear is atleast hero track or hero crafted at minimum, I expected it do be no issue.
But I could not trade the ring.

For more context:
280 iLvl
Rings I geared:
1 Hero Track 6/6 Ring - 276 - Occlusion of Void
1 Myth Track 1/6 Ring - 272 - Omission of Light

Edit: The Rings I had geared were dropped/equipped days before, not the same day as the restricted dropped one.

Ring I dropped:
1 Hero Track 3/6 Ring - 266

So we thought it could be an issue with the dropped ring being potentially better than the myth 1/6 if its on 6/6 even tho I didnt know/think that system works like that.

So I tried to research but you can find a different opinion on every google search / thread, whatever.

Google AI said the system works different from Rings to single slot gear and in single slot it would be no problem with myth track 1/6, but rings has to be atleast 2/6 on myth.

Is that really the case, or in general is there any good and understanding overview on how trade restrictions work officially?

Would be good to know, thanks for the help.

Edit:
One last addition I just figured out: i had loot specialization on feral instead of balance, I guess to help out gearing the rogue in the group with gear.
So I can imagine my two rings are not in the lootpool for feral loot so the dropped one was the first in the pool, might that be the answer?

Hey there!
I have been going through multiple posts and videos but it still feel overwhelming.

In what order/which events or activities should I prioritize in order to farm gear?
I am currently at ilvl 232 :)

Thank you so much

Hi, just got back into wow after a few years, missed the last 4 expansions. Decided to create new characters to level up but I still have my "bank alt" where I had stored loads of resources. As I'm leveling up, the gear i find on dead bodies or am given for completing quests are much better ilvl and have better stats than what I can make in the different professions. Is it actually worth it making new gear?

Hi, I'm fairly new to Delves. Yesterday I finally managed to do one at level 11 for the first time, which was quite fun, although I'm still wondering about the rewards.

I see that the item level of the sealed chests (the ones that use the weekly keys) is still at 250. Is this a bug? Or does it only serve to increase the Vault level?

It's a bit confusing because I saw a lot of people saying that Delves 11 can give you Mythic+ 10 gear.

I'm currently playing a vdh tank and the class is not the meta tank compared to brew and druid. However, it seems like almost all the groups I am joining are failing their keys. To be frank, it is about a 10% success rate in mythic 17+ keys when I am trying to tank. What is everyone's experience in higher keys right now with ur current class?

I've been watching guides and reading material, but nothing I come across really touches on the fact that an H Priest going full bore during a 5+ minute raid encounter struggles for mana about 1/2 to 2/3 the way through.

Healing isn't much of an issue; everyone stays alive, no problem, even if I ease off the pressure to passively recover. However, it feels weird for the class to be so thirsty, and I wonder if I am missing something crucial to help recover mana mid-fight or if I am expending too much.

Sorry, I try clean thing. (btw poor english)
Do blue post said ritual sites as 5 tier will 100% drop Ascendant Voidshard?

3 tier very low drop? 4 Tier is a bit more rescue drop?

(I knew T11 delve and nightmare prey give well. But if I runned out them)
