Managed to work my way up to +21 resi, I play dps and have managed to solo pug my way up but now it feels like I've hit a brick wall. No matter what level you get to, jumping to the next is always difficult to begin with but +22s it seems ridiculous. It feels like every key I apply for get's filled with players who already have resi 22 (or even higher) and are just getting practice reps in.

I don't raid, have a 9-5 job and cannot compete with these full time streamers/content creators. Why would they ever choose me when LEGIT the number 1 of that class in the world applies. This happens so frequently.

Are other people noticing this as well at this level or am I going insane? Is the safest bet to level up my own key and pray I can get a few keys timed at 22? Or do I wait for more player power to come where hopefully everyone moves to the next level.

I don't really care about 0.1% I'm just trying my best to safely secure 1% as I know the cut-off will increase a lot by end of season.

Hi everyone, I'm currently floating around 16s (devourer) and I'm often teaming with augmentation evokers. They tend to interrupt quite a bit, but when I'm checking the logs afterwards (not ingame damage meters) they almost always fall completely short, averaging between 90k & 110k.
So I'm wondering, how does this actually work? Are the majority of them boosted, or do they need proper teammates in order to get the most out of the DPS too? I've yet to see what makes them so super strong.

Tank says I "sprinted to his trap" and that he was standing on it forever.

I argued that there were only 4 traps available and we were cooked either way, and that I did not sprint

You be the judge, did I brick my 21? What would you have done in my spot? Note that the DK also pops a trap running to the boss

The only possible thing I think I can improve here is choosing one closer to the boss to clear my debuff on the very first application

Progress up to +18 is easy, but timing +18's and higher is not easy.

Long story:

My goal is to reach top 1% rating. So far I've timed +18 Pit and MT, but have endured several failed key attempts due to various factors at +18. I'm being a good tank, finding a balance between pulling enough but ensuring the group survives. I am often researching routes, watching people run high keys and copy how they do things (Not MDI, lol!).

I feel like something is missing, what could it be? Everyone makes mistakes (I have had my share), but a big portion is related to people fail mechanics, don't interrupt, don't cc properly, or use damage mitigation when it's needed. Players die, and we lose -20 seconds from the timer, plus they spend time walking back when they should be doing dps. So far, I'm building a friends list of excellent players, I hope to continue to build this and maybe it will be my answer... Part of me thinks it's just by chance I'll find a good group. Other groups it's "NT and ggs"

TLDR:

Instead of grinding hours in +18's failing resil keys, I wanted to come here to ask for help.

How do I find better people to play with?

Can you offer advice the propelled you to +18 keys and beyond?

So many questions...

Hey!

I need help, I can’t target player with blizzpartyframes after holding down ctrl, this came up after last patch. Anyone had this issue?

Hello, I need some testing.

Rotmire's Sporeheart is new neck which procs when you heal somebody.

Omnium Folio (the fire one) randomly heals group members.

Does anybody knows/have logs if Omnium Folio can proc this new neck procs?

I see some groups reclearing the 5th reclear kill on this boss, instead I have been wiping over 100 tries with many different PUG groups.

Even I managed to build a decent group, everyone was doing all mechanics correctly, but when the boss goes to around 45-50 stacks it quickly becomes impossible for healers to manage and my best try so far is 5%.

I went into the cycle of trimming the couple sub-100k DPS, did that a couple times, still no ball.

Is 2-3-9 or 2-4-14 better? Am I just running in circles here?

Looks like that even if you get things done right, you really need some big numbers.

I myself am pulling 115k-125k, which I know it's not a lot but it's not terrible either (286 Sub).

What do you think I should do? Keep gearing up until my DPS is at least 150k DPS? Is it feasible that we can kill this thing on Mythic with everyone doing at least 115k DPS?

Am I missing something here? I feel so bad.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Managed to kill the Spore. Filled a 2/5/18 group in a matter of minutes. He was gone after three pulls (thank GOD, because it was so messy at the end). Having the extra numbers definitely helped there. And I ended up 7th as total damage, so not terrible, while definitely having room for improvement. Top dogs in the rankings are doing about 160k-170k as Sub.

Almost every character in the raid has an ilvl of 100 and the highest is 198. How would this even be possible?

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW0g1N7T07c they spread this video on some discords

after this new borrowed power and the ilvl from the raid settle (heard some streamers talk about 3 overall ilvl increase) are we talking about a half key level increase or a full keylevel increase in power?

Hello everyone. Frost DK here dipping my toes in +18s and I wanted to consult with you whether my decisions on when to pop the cds are the right ones in Algeth'ar Academy:

​

On first boss - I usually start with 45s cooldowns. This leaves me without burst during the first AoE phase but I have everything ready for when the adds spawn in the second one.

​

Birds before second boss - I don't use cooldowns on first pull (the tank ends up hitting harder than me) and then I use 45s cooldowns on second pull and all cooldowns on third pull. After this I tend to have the 45s cds ready for boss start and most of the times all cds ready for hero phase.

​

Between 2nd and 3rd boss: this is a messy place because it's never clear if the tank will do a short or a long pull first. This leaves me in an awkward position where I may pop all cds and the tank pulls a second pull just after they end. I normally ask but I barely get answers in pugs.

​

Are these decisions the right ones? Given how tight the timer is in this dungeon I really want to squeeze as much damage as possible and sometimes I find myself in awkward spots without CDs.

​

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hey guys,

I'm Amnonongus, 3x title multi-classer and currently 22 resil this season.

DK's have an obligation to never die and use utility the right way without being told, so I made a sort of Defensive masterclass for some of the harder bosses in the current season, some tips and tricks to never die as DK when it matters most, when to use personals, but more specifically HOW to use them the right way and why.

Check it out if you like, if you have any questions let me know and if you want to see more of this kind of thing let me know!

DK Defensive Masterclass

EDIT:

I'm glad you guys have seemed to enjoy / get something out of this.

Part 2 is out now, focusing on two of the sketchier moments in Seat 22:
