I don't belive you, I think you made up all those mechanics lol.
I dunno, sometimes I get stunned at the end of City of Echoes or Cinderbrew and it's fine because I have TEN MILLION HEALTH. Could be a few mechanics.

For Tier 8 delves just run a M+ spec for extra CC and Utility. Reading people taking about beta, they were clearing 8's in duo's at 570-580 gear but you had to use your abilities well.

The "Kilani" crafting bit cracked me tf up. I felt the exact same fucking way.
edit - and the "Relaxxxxx Israel."
Nah. I use it between healing. Its bloated, but 70% of the shit you'll never use. Has overlap from the Healing shit for some reason.

Can't wait to be flamed 10 mins into the patch because I pulled extra packs in Grim Batol and I should have been farming it in Cataclysm Classic and know the route already.

I used to think it was particular to Mythic+, but then I played BC and WOTLK Classic Heroics and remembered both sides of that argument. I mean, at this point - you "supposedly" have no excuse for not knowing at least the basics of how something works. You have the journal, videos, follower dungeons, etc. I mean, spend 5 minutes reading about the dungeon so you can at least get the jist of how everything works, right? But in that same vein on the opposite side of the view - it should be obvious what does what in WoW for any experienced person yet it isnt. What I remember being nice about FFXIV - even if I was new to the encounter (except for Hardcore, didnt do many of those) - is that every mechanic was easily understandable. The arrows pretty much told you what to do, where to go, etc. Why they havent tried to do that in WoW is beyond me at this point. Something else, that bothers me to this day about WoW is that even now, telegraphs are not accurate in where they will hit. Some stuff I can side step and be fine. Some stuff I can side step a foot away and still get hit by it. You learn whats what over time, but it leaves a lot to be desired for sure.
I dont think I've used Autopilot before, but Zygor was pretty direct in terms of speed versus attention span. I usually would rather just commit all my attention to the game and finish leveling quickly, though. But really, none of the quests I remember being over complicated by any significant measure and on my second play through of the expansion, at least, I just went where the gold dots were and killed shit without reading anything.
I did that on the first play through, and when I read it .. it didnt dawn on me right then. But then, as Im flying away, I starting thinking about it and was like ... damn.. thats fucked up. Bro just wanted to learn about gems and be rich. Like fucking everybody... and you cursed him for it.

From what I recall, the original Azeroth Autopilot autist quit in Shadowlands. He supposedly gave his blessing for new people to work on it and they did a good job with Dragonflight, but I don't think it was quite as "locked in" as it was with the original dude (to be fair, it may be due to differences in xpacs too).
Still, if I was still playing this xpac, that would be my go-to program for quickest leveling path, if they updated it.
I've also used Zygor's in WotLK or Panda but it's so long ago that it would be too difficult to compare.

Diadraco and I leveled delves up to 8 and did the 4 bountiful ones, didnt seem like we we got any maps. Was pretty easy except for the shroom one, that lost boss is a pain as a melee.

It has two different views. Just alternate to the single page if you're trying to be addon light.
To be fair, we didnt stop and smell the roses either. But I dont think it'll matter for us at tier 8.
I went through and did MOST of the Mythic 0's, tonight. Ara'Kara probably the hardest one so far. Didnt do Grim Batol, Siege, or Dawn Breaker - but those stressed me out even when they were in Heroic and Im just kind of done for tonight. Your average healer is going to complain after today and complain a lot. You have these huge massive health pools on tanks, 8-11 million hp, and my big heal on the Shaman is a fucking wet noodle without a crit at a whopping 560k. But I will say that the big damage, big health pools, and the frantic pace has pushed me to learn how and when to use all my cool downs on him. In that same vein, there are some spells that I absolutely hate using like Cloudburst. But thats whatever. My real point is that Healing is like three times the work as any other role right now. I anticipate that they'll rewind the nerf to healing by at least a small bit before its all said and done.

That trinket dropped for my run as well. The guy that got it insta-died on that boss because he just stood still and let the swarm get him. The ret paladin that fucking carried the group straight up said "fuck that faggot" in group chat after I said "wow, congrats!" I hate toxic shit somewhat, but in that case it was well deserved and funny af.
Healers and tanks in need this morning for heroic. For as much as those Augment Runes go for.. its tempting.
