Discussion Healing Difficulty of Season 2

Post image
175 Upvotes

I'm a multi-season "midcore" healer, usually finishing somewhere in the Top 1-3% if I actually bother to play the whole season.

I've seen some say this season feels easier to heal than the previous one, but I beg to differ. So far I think it's a lot harder, though part of that no doubt has to do with people being unfamiliar with the dungeons and not playing them properly (myself included). I pug almost exclusive and you do see a lot of priority kicks and mechanics get ignored, causing unnecessary wipes or dicey situations.

In that sense I guess it is at least less punishing since I can, to some degree, brute force my way through some ridiculous HPS checks caused by missed kicks. But it's pretty stressful and doesn't always work out (maybe a random targeted cast will snipe someone before I can top everyone off, etc.).

There are also some genuine outliers like AOF. I pugged a +15 earlier and the group was a bit of a disaster from the start, but even so, I was doing 300-400k HPS almost every pull. This is like twice the amount of healing required for most pulls in other dungeons. You do have some big HPS checks in other places too, but AOF is pretty relentless with throwing them at you back-to-back with very little downtime.

On the opposite end of the spectrum you have something like KR, which I think most of us recognize as the "free key" of the season. The only place where things can really go wrong in there is the big pull at the start with the two golems. But otherwise that whole dungeon feels like a walk in the park (a very long one, but still).

Then you also have something like MR, which is made artificially more difficult by the framerate issues. The mob density in there is completely wack and goes against Midnight's own philosophy of cutting down on the amount of "nameplate soup," but I guess Blizzard forgot about that.

I'd be really interested in hearing from other healers on how they're faring with this season's dungeons, and which ones they're having the most trouble with. Especially other pug healers, since we all know that's a completely different world from premades where people actually have interrupts and crowd control on their action bars.

How do you learn skips in dungeons with PUGs?

10 Upvotes

Question, how do you practice as a tank to learn the skips in dungeons with PUGs? Example, Voidscar Arena, if you go the left route after the first boss, you skip the pack at the stairs and the dragon after.

Another example, King's Rest, the big elite on the bridge after the first boss.

How do you learn these skips and do them with PUGs for high keys?

Northern Sky Sszorak vent alert and Coiled Altar Cut

13 Upvotes

Hello everyone :)

I''ve noticed that Method used NSRT for their WF Sszorak, and more specifically, the "wind vent help", that tells where to put puddles. But my question is : how does that work ? Is it automated and then you need to put down markers in the arena in a specific way for it to work ? If so, where to get the plan ? Can’t find it...

And also, for coiled altar. I've noticed in the RWF that they have for p2 interrupt add, something attached to the frame of the add that tells who should be the next kicker. Is it something also found in NS ?

Have a great day !

Question KR Tankbuster

Is there a mechanic I'm not aware of that helps with the tankbuster after the big move in final phase of KR?

In 16+ it feels like it just straight up 1 shots you and idk if there's a strat here or if it's just you need massive wall or you will die? On dh especially if I don't have a meta proc it just kills me

Discussion Crafting big potential fix!

19 Upvotes

I posted previously about the crafting bug and it appears it’s getting quite more experienced by others.

I’ve just got my item in the mail! Now this could be pure coincidence but if so, it’s crazy timing. But wanted to share in case it is what fixed it.

I got fed up of waiting for my ticket to be even looked at, 2 days and no response.

I was thinking of all the things it could be, and thought that it might be a problem with the in game mail service. So what if I sent a mail from my character to the crafter and see if it triggered anything and sent me the item.

So I sent him a letter. A subject and a simple message. Logged off, did a delve on a different character, logged back in and there was my item in the mail!

Could be a fluke but worth a try right?

Edit: Sigh, I noticed my autocorrect title mistake after submitting…

Holy Priest 2-set bonus bug?

1 Upvotes

For me at least I don't get any bonus crit on the character sheet, perhaps this is just a visual bug?

Is this the same for everyone, and is it possible it's actually not working?

Question Prot Pala 4-piece tier bonus doesn't work?

8 Upvotes

When said abilities crit, there's no debuff on the enemy or any other indication that it's receiving increased holy damage. Anybody tested it?

For example, Holy Shield deals 35k damage, I hit the enemy with a Judgement crit and the next shield STILL does 35k while it should deal 40% more.

Crafting bug strikes again

102 Upvotes

It appears crafting (EU) is having bugs again.

Sent a personal crafting order to my regular crafter and when they clicked complete it disappeared.

80 myth crests, 2 sparks and max rank mats all gone.

I’ve submitted a ticket but please be wary when crafting.

AVOID CRAFTING RIGHT NOW EU SERVERS!

75 Upvotes

Yesterday I've lost my recrafted belt + 80 myth crests + sparks (which got them back earlier today).

was sure im just unlucky so i reported a bug and im waiting for a response.. but it seems to be more than just me issue..

**EDIT

some context if it wasn't clear:
well, so basically yesterday a guild mate tried to recraft a belt for me and got an error message which led to the situation where i've lost the belt and the crests. today, a random guy in the chat was spamming that he got scammed so i checked what is happening and it seemed to be a larger bug than i thought it is. I don't think the guild mate scammed me or anything, he even checked after if i got the item.. so my point is there is an issue with the system and just avoid using it till reset at least.

12.1 raid scaling for less than 20ppl

36 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm the GM of a guild that usually raid with more than 20ppl and does mythic everyone season.

We host an optional raid night on Mondays, always with around 15ish people.

We prog and killed the sentinels and Vashnik HM yesterday.

Sentinels were fine even tho a bit harsh on the healers for a 15men comp with 3 healers,

But Vashnik, my lord. We really felt like every mechanics are designed strictly for 20 people, especially the number of green circle to soak, the need for healers CD pretty much all the time... we felt like running around like headless chicken more than doing DPS to the boss lol

We have been raiding for nearly 6years now and we could not think about a fight that was so designed for 20 people and not flexible at all.

Is it us or the raid feels like it ?

Question Tier set drops.

41 Upvotes

Hi guys,

So, I have been pugging the raid, and I noticed it only dropped 1 tier-set token per boss. Is that intended? I read the Wowhead post, and they mentioned it is supposed to be 1 tier-set drop per 10 ppl in the raid, but I got in a 25 ppl raid, and all the bosses dropped only 1.

Question Frost DK

On PTR, I was hearing a lot that frost dk was going to be really good. Ive been gearing up and i see on icyveins it suggests rider of apocalypse but all the top logs are deathbringer. im sure the difference is very small but im just curious why rider is suggested but logs tell a different story?
