    Oh, that's how it works now? Nice. Of course, he'll probably get King's Rest again. Or Motherlode.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    With clever use of line of sight mechanics and some amount of luck, it isn't impossible. It's just really aggravating. There were plenty of moments in Legion that required the same kind of thing, especially if your tank was a warrior. The biggest problem with this is that you can't kite the way...

    It works for me. Undoubtedly impacts my framerate, though. My gaming rig is getting pretty old, I need to update it someday, but I have kids and no money. Derp. All the UI comments have actually gotten me to revisit some of it, but it's still pretty busy.

    Ongoing joke about my UI being too complicated. I know. I'm running a 4930K so that's one of my major bottlenecks.

    It's not just legendaries. A bunch of the secondary effects from Legion items (e.g. Convergence of Fates) also stop working after 115, though many trinkets still work at 120.

    I played at 5760x1080 (3x 1080p monitors) for a while too, and honestly, that was much more awesome than 4K. I was running 3x 780 SLI at the time though, so no idea how that would translate to a single video card.

    I raided at 4K but the framerate on some fights was abysmal. That's not just the resolution, though. I was doing a bunch of shit at the same time, and my WoW UI probably needs its own GPU. I ended up switching back to 1080p for WoW. It isn't worth it.

    The Final Fantasy Mega Thread - Now playing FFXV

    I just couldn't get into XV at all. Midori played it for a while and gave up. I might jump in at some point but it just seemed like such a forgettable game, meh.

    Working as intended. If you're lucky, you're actually UNLUCKY. BAM! Awesome design decision, someone pay me some megabux.

    I love how they aren't calling out specific classes as part of their "some classes need to use taunt on CD" line, and we all know they mean prot warriors and guardian druids.

    Well, shit, we're a Heroic guild again. Grats on G'huun / H Taloc / H Mother tonight, bois, that was pretty damn well done.

    I just hit 21 and I'm playing pretty often, so I guess I must be doing it entirely wrong. Derp.

    King's Raid

    Kara, like Lewisia, takes time to spin up before she's godly. If you want m.dps that is solid all the time (but not godly most of the time), Mirianne is a good choice. She's an assassin, but she's ranged, and she does a lot of damage if she doesn't get ganked by something because of her mid...

    Right, folks, he's chosen "Double Down". Awesome. Let's do this. I didn't "worry" about my threat in Legion until snapping aggro (which happened reasonably often with at least one co-tank) started wiping the raid. Prot warriors were doing fairly high dps near the end of Legion. Sitting around...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not sure what you're tanking, but it ain't what I've been tanking. Some encounters are faceroll. Some are not. You'll never convince me that sitting there mashing dps buttons is "harder", because it isn't.

    King's Raid

    I'd drop Laias for Annette in a heartbeat. That's just me, though. It also depends on what you're doing. Some of ch8 really needs a "real" healer to be trivial enough to 3*.

    This is our first raid absence since the beginning of Legion. I feel so ashamed. Fuckin' tornadoes.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Power is out here. Hopefully back on by raid time, but no guarantees. Edit: Tornado touched down here. Lots of power lines down, houses destroyed, stuff on fire, etc. I'm thinking chances of Midori and I being online are slim. If someone wants to go ahead with tonight's raid if I'm not on...

    King's Raid

    Lilia is physical. Seems like she'd be magic, but no. She's one of two physical mages (the other being Nyx, amusingly enough), and they are pretty niche. If you plan on getting Annette (which is a really good move as she is the most OP hero in the game), you'll want to replace Lilia for sure...

    What the shit is this? I think they're getting to the end of their creative allotment for this game.

    Give me a few more years of Melnyk's bullshit and I might change my tune. Don't think I'll be the only one, either.

    I'll add to that: I'd probably cheer for the Avs, just because they used to be the Nordiques, before I'd cheer for Toronto. Ottawa vs. Toronto isn't just a hockey thing.

    Hells no. I'll cheer for the Habs before I ever cheer for the Leafs. Montreal was my team before '92.

    I got a 345 upgrade from 340 for my prot weapon yesterday and I'm pretty sure that's the only weapon I'll see for weeks. And it has crit on it, too. /spit

    The fight is so insanely AIDS that no one will be able to see the entire thing by watching them. Anyone who can navigate that fight to a world first is going to deserve it.

    Shots fired, since I was probably the one who complained, and yeah, I'm doing something wrong. I need to look at other warriors' rotations, because my circumstances make life fun for me when rotations change due to the macroing. I need to unfuck my existing macro. It's just plain bad by...

    That specific fight led to people installing things like early versions of Decursive and whatnot, so that they could quickly see who was cursed in order to remove it. The notion of enhancing your ability to see specific elements of WoW fights goes all the way back to MC and probably even before...

    Yes, it's really that way. He quoted representation in logs. This isn't a perception thing. No one but stubborn fools (sup) are playing them for a reason. These things have a way of turning around, so I don't really care.

    I'm hoping, against all reasonable hope and logic, that Dorion and crew see something that the rest of us don't. I doubt it, though. This is yet another poor decision by a sinking ship of a hockey club. I'm also really kicking myself for not asking Karlsson for his autograph when I was sitting...

    Got lucky yesterday and got a 350 shield out of a m+ Atal'dazar, replacing a 325 blue shield. Just in time for the raid tonight, where I'm sure Vectis will drop a shield, because that's how my luck works.
