That range of keys right over 10 is the hardest spot for sure. 16s and up are usually easier in my experience. I've been gearing my resto druid and have failed like 6 and 8 keys when I'm a 2500 io healer main. So I definitely feel the pain.
I'm a long time prot pally main. Idk if you're using dusk and dawn, but you almost never make it to 5 HP without wings. Bear in mind that sotr lasts 14s at full duration. 1 tip I'd suggest for pugging is to create a focus macro for avenger's shield. Focus the storm speaker in those pulls and use HoJ and rebuke on other mobs while pressing AS every 3s. There's no diminishing returns on the silence.
yeah, i noticed today i really suck with managing dusk and dawn - definitely something i need to work on. for sure for sure still got a lot of kinks to work out, but its getting there :)
Enjoying the series man, keep it up! I feel like your low io and ilvl put off experienced players from joining your group and you ended up with noobs. Might be worth getting some score and gear in lower keys and then going for +11 and above. You are entirely capable of the keys you're doing but I don't think the good players can see that yet. I personally wouldn't join or invite a 370 ilvl tank with less than 700 io and no main score on a +13 nok so the people joining the key are probably going for completion or something lol
lol yeah, i get this sentiment 100% - i just dont want to spend forever doing low keys when i know i could be doing 16s at least if i can get the keys. It's all just part of the process. It gets easier as you climb because people are more aware of mechanics which goes a long way
"Is there a healer shortage" haha, obviously there is. Healing is not fun at all this season and tanks are actually more common especially in mid level keys. Enjoying the series. You're pulling a bit too big for most pug healers, especially in explosive weeks.
I’m a bit late to this so you’ve probably already figured this out. But watching the first nokhud, you weren’t using your damage mitigation. Eye of tyr and ardent defender are abilities you need to spread but use on CD. You’re able to mitigate a lot of the damage that you’re scrambling to heal yourself out of. And then you can use your WOGs on your teammates and help the healer out.
Props for you taking this on a mature way. But even as a new player to M+ myself. After +10 it's not wrong or rude to expect at least some level of performance when it comes to Interrupts, dmg and avoiding dmg. These guys just didn't care. I would've left from the grp myself.
i try my best to never be toxic in game and give people the benefit of the doubt, and i try to always be critical of myself and see if i could have done things better. When people start blaming me for their own mistakes though, i draw the line there. And as another commenter pointed out, i could have cycled defensives better, which is 100% true, but i still think this key was just a lost cause even if I played near 100% optimally. it be like that sometimes lol
I was trying to eat dinner and watch at the same time, couldn't do it man. I just kept laughing my a** off, sorry this happened to you. But this happens to me quite a bit in pugs, I learned to just walk away from my monitor and not say something stupid lol. Keep it rolling bro, really enjoy the content.
LOL - yay im happy im making the content somewhat enjoyable :D Yeah, i know it's just how it goes sometimes, but that still doesnt stop it from breaking my will in the process - i have a solid rule to never be toxic or trash talk people in game - but hey, commentary over the game itself is free reign o.o but even then, i try not to be too harsh..
Never thought I would click on a random recommended video and see my character in it 😂fun series to watch!
Zero to Hero Challange will make you a better player, i mean pugging keys is how you test your limit
Yeah, i learned the game through puggingband got rank 1 as a rogue in s3 of SL through pugging. Definitely puts some hair on your chest lol
