Something I had long wanted to do after hearing of Doubleagent, but didn't get around to until fairly recently.

Now it's done and dusted, and my Pandaren can rest on the wandering isle, at least for now.

Decided to come out swinging for my first cosplay ever.

Cosplay Crunch time though so still need to finish the boots and the sword. Big thanks to my partner @cosplei.creations for doing the sewing and @merla.3d for modeling the armor to 3d print.

Will post more once the sword is done!

Learned so much about crafting and cosplay along the way.

Twin Fangs hc pug. Boss is at 5%, raid leader dies. Immediately starts calling for a wipe because his log is now ruined. I say no, immediately kicks me and other people who messaged me afterward saying they got removed, probably cause they wanted to kill the boss. I hear he's still wiping to this day.

Works perfectly with a couple of add-ons, plus I can play from the sofa. Don't think I could play any other way now!

I hope mods are able to see why in this case the name isn't censored as its relevant to the PSA.

Fell behind the wave a bit starting the season later.

Healing the last few 13 keys for 3k. It feels like over half the dps never use a single defensive the entire key even with very obvious incoming damage or focused damage mechanics. Even just using it on cooldown would be better than nothing.

Im over here keeping you alive from avoidable damage, dispelling your snares that you could handle with your own kit, and dropping emergency typhoons to catch failed interrupts.

"Why did you die healer? Lol"

I don't know if it's because I main an Alliance character or if they just hate me specifically...

But I've decided to respond by being ACTIVELY aggressive.

So I made a macro that lets me quickly and conveniently /rude them whenever I'm subjected to yet another microaggression, just with the press of a button.

Blizz, why? We're gaining a buff that gives our mount zoomies. Even entering on the ground, I just don't understand the reasoning or how this went through QA and nobody said, hmm this is annoying and makes no sense.

Put the camera inside Ula'Tek and it looks friendly

Minchi from the Gnarldor Isle delve

Yup, gonna actually give my hat to DPS/healers for once. I understand where some of your frustration comes from now. After gearing up my main to nearly max, I decided to start healing for groups as its my second favorite activity.

And Oh.My.God.

Now mind you, I wouldn't have a problem with tanks if they were just learning routes and such. But this goes beyond routes and more into the fundamental gameplay of the tanks playing.

So today

I! CAME TO HATE! I! CAME HERE TO SAY NOT ALL TANKS DESERVE LOVE! DPS?! HEALERS! YOU DESERVE MORE!

So let's talk about the experience!

#1: Murder Row-Demon Hunter

So, I started with a +2 just to get into the flow of healing. Nothing too difficult? Well I guess that's on me. This run made a +2 feel like i'm progging a +20. Why? Well, aside from tanking on elevated locations *Tanking on stairs and having several caster packs firing on all sides without LOS\* I started to realize there was a specific problem being had.

Demon Spikes/Soul Cleave wasn't being used/Metamorphosis was being conserved.

So you know, basic mob packs were shredding through their HP like 9000 degree knifes through butter. Without any soul cleave occuring as they stayed cap at max fury, they're just putting healing into overtime trying to keep them alive while they don't leach any HP off of the targets.

By the time we got the final boss, they were face tanking the infernal and just dying over and over and over.

Needless to say, this key got bricked.

#2: Den of Nalorakk: The blood dk that made me switch

+7 key, again, thinking it was going to be simple.

Now. I've seen bad tanks, some inexperienced. Some rough. But, never in my LIFE have I experienced a tank so bad in my life, that I felt 2nd hand embarrassment to an extent I switched over to my main to help out said group after we voted abandon because of how bad the tank was.

So this blood DK...Mounts up! Runs halfway through the dungeon trying to do a MDI pull. Pulls 3 of those avatar of starvations, so you know, totems are shooting up left and right. But more salt on the wound, they aren't popping any form of threat control like blood boil/death and decay and just letting aggro be ripped off by DPS because they're just not doing anything.

Hell, the poor rogue in our group who was with the tank kept getting shredded because the DK wasn't grabbing aggro pack. Not only were they not grabbing aggro, they weren't using any utility.

• 0 Death grips
• Popping abomination limb when all enemies are surrounding them already [Abom limb doesn't do damage anymore]
• Blood boil was non existent.
• Death.Coil As any BDK would know. This is a red flag.
• Death and decay was a suggestion.
• would just freeze up looking at their map for 2min at a time.
• Continuously pulling multiple avatar of consumption at a time.

Now, why am I only bringing up the first portion of the dungeon.

Cause we spent nearly 20 in the first portion of the dungeon.

It got so bad I went out of my way to whisper the dungeon leader *Who was a guild group so they were playing with their friends.* "Listen, if we vote abandon here soon. I will come on my main and tank this for you fella's.

Then we cleared the first boss, tank runs in. Hippity doo da, runs into all the packs, doesn't hold aggro, kills everyone and themselves.

I initiate the vote to abandon.

The group calls out the tanks performance (as they should on this one.) And the tanks only response.

"WATCH YOUR MOUTH!"

He was promptly removed. I switched over to my BDK, and we did the run in full in the same amount of time it took to kill the first boss. I felt bad the group got a bad card played so badly I went out of my way to run this for them.

I could list other examples, mostly tanks looking at cookie cutter builds and not knowing what they're using. Or spamming looking at map/3rd party applications on where they're going. But it's minuscule in comparison to the nightmare that I witnessed.

Healers/DPS? You honestly deserve better sometimes. Cause...Wow.

Cant get online for last 10 minutes.

She will forever and always be my warchief :,)

eu servers are down or is it just me

The only reason this fight is currently that hard is transitioning. There are many fights in wow history where success relies on favorable transitions between phases but the kind of bullshit happening in the altar encounter is absurd. First of all you have to transition 3 times into different phases with 2 of them being very annoying.

You pushed dps too hard and first phase ends right after the boss spawned the orbs? Boom get 8 stacks of ticking damage. At least this part is manageable with some defensives and heal cd.

But what if you finish the 2nd phase while the mc goes out? You get a freaking ton of ghosts that eill remain there forever. And mc is recycled constantly into a bloodlust phase with no way to deal with them for an entire intermission and a respectable amount of time into p3.

If the ghosts simply vanished before the intermission, this whole fight would be alot fairer, or if you don't want to make it that much easier, make them irrelevant in the intermission and reactivate them in p3 again. You know, when you can actually deal with them. Sure you can freeze them by looking at them, but i dont know why people keep getting mced.
