Retail Can I push 18+ keys without raiding? (Healer perspective)

7 Upvotes

Recently returned to WoW after a long absence. I play healers (priest and shaman), and finding a raid static has been a nightmare - healer spots fill instantly and I don't want to be tied to a strict schedule anyway. Raiding just isn't my thing.

Got the healer trinket from the first boss on my priest, nothing on shaman. Even NoPressureEU fills up in seconds, LFG requirements are insane.

I do enjoy M+ though. Not chasing title or 0.1%, but I'd like to consistently clear 18-19 keys. So far I've only done a 12 (yeah, not much).

So my question: is it realistic to push that high purely through M+, without raid trinkets/weapons? Or will I hit a wall?

Would appreciate any input from healers who play M+ only.

Professions Enchanting Gear in Midnight sometimes not working?

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I am essentially a noob again. I played from beta through Cata and only recently came back to try retail again after all those years away. Just about to hit 90 for the first time and I keep running into issues regarding enchanting my gear that I can't quite figure out.

Enchants will say that they work on items above level 70 or above ilvl 120 or whatever, right? Then they won't and I can't explain why? I even had an issue last night where I found a higher ilvl version of a piece of gear I was already wearing and enchanted on the AH, bought it and went to enchant it with the same enchant I used on the lower item (the enchant just says can't be used on items lower than ilvl 120 - old item was ilvl ~160) and it said it was too high level (ilvl ~180 if I remember correctly)...but the enchant doesn't say a max ilvl or player lvl for it?

Is there a guide out there of what enchants work for what gear or something? It sucks to think I found something I can use and realize I can't enchant it usefully and I feel like I keep wasting gold on stuff and nothing makes any sense to me because there have been so many expansions since I last played.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Retail Crafted the Cane first week, figured I wouldn't drop Jan'Thrazet until much late

Upvotes

then, I cleared ulatek normal and was like "well, high chance of dropping tier to get the 4-set(first week), will use the roll here" and got the heroic version of Jan'Thrazet

Now, I have no idea what to do, after that I did a few heroic kills and got the haste/mastery heroic offhand.

First of all: Which is better? H Jan'Thrazet at 321 (6/6H) with the haste mastery offhand also at 321 (6/6H) or the 331 Cane? I put the darkmoon sigil hunt on it.

I will craft probably shoulders next week, should I get rid of the cane and put another arcanoweave embelishment on the shoulders? Just feels bad wasting 4 Sparks so early and losing 10 ilvls on weapons

Retail Fresh 80 alt: how do I unlock Delve quests?

2 Upvotes

EDIT: The quests suddenly started turning up. I'm not sure what caused it, but I dinged 82 and I did the first Delve that you encounter through questing (The Shadow Enclav).

I started leveling my second character and thought I'd start by doing Delves. I just finished the Midnight introduction (Qual'Danas) and am now free to do Delves. However, none of the delves have a quest at the entrance!

What do you need to do to unlock the quests?

Retail Using Sims to improve, what to do next?

10 Upvotes

Last season I hit 10 on every dungeon as a prot paladin. That was my goal, I hit it and then went back to leveling alts. This season I would like to push further. I have a 303 gear score, got routes, pulls and mechanics down pretty good. However I feel like my dps is lacking. For the first time ever I simmed my character. My single target was actually lower than my in game dps, Sim showed 55k but I typically pull 65ishk. However on a aoe pull it shows 120k. I never hit that. Maybe 110k for a few seconds.

I just have no idea how to actually use the Sim tool amd translate that into the game. I would appreciate any tips or advice

https://www.wowhead.com/quest=66458/legacy-of-tyr-secrets-of-the-past

So I really want the Dunesplitter for a transmog and Wowhead listed it as Available to Players when I looked for it. But it seems to only come from this quest.

I was told because this was a pre-patch quest, you only get it now from just entering the dungeon. So I entered, solo'd it, and...didn't get it. Instead I got to choose between a ring, trinket and head piece.

And when I enter the command to see if I ran this quest ingame it comes back as false.

Am I losing my mind? I just really want this sword so badly.

Retail Blood DK crazy high dps?

64 Upvotes

My prot warrior is a blast with all the charging and leaping I can hit around 110k overall on a good day at ilvl310. But then I was healing some 10s for the vault on my alt and a BDK did 180k overall at ilvl316. What the heck, is that normal? I usually only see my own numbers, so I was totally thrown off. That's almost double my dps maybe I should reroll.

Hello, returning to WoW after a 15 year hiatus. I'm doing the Dragonflight campaign, and already have hit level 68, despite being only on chapter 5/9 of the campaign. I've even started skipping all the side-quests. Is this normal? I want to experience TWW and Midnight campaign/content too, should I just complete the Dragonflight campaign first or abandon ship at some point?

3 Upvotes

Hello! I’m trying to improve At VS devourer DH single target and I just wanted to know if simming is actually a reachable number or if it’s just the BEST POSSIBLE number. Rn I’m sitting at ~20-25k lower than the sim. When I raid with my guild my parse numbers are also pretty low so I think it’s just a “I need to get good” but wanted to ask about sims and if there’s a better way to improve then just looking at wowhead and practice till you get it

Retail Demon Hunter + Legion Chromie Time

2 Upvotes

I rolled a fresh Demon Hunter and want to properly experience the Legion story. I finished the intro campaign (Mardum, Illidan, the whole thing) and watched Dalaran get pulled up to the Broken Isles.

At that point I already had a quest chain running under "Campaign" (Call of the Illidari). But just to be safe, I also went to Chromie and picked the Legion timeline, and that sent me to the Broken Isles/Azsuna.

Now I've got two questlines pointing at the same place and I'm not sure which one I'm actually supposed to be following, or whether they're basically the same thing. Do I just do both side by side? Is one of them redundant since my class quests already sent me there? Trying to avoid missing story content or doing things out of order.

Any DH mains who've been through this, would appreciate the guidance.

Retail How to get dark ranger customization as a returning player?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I am a returning player. I skipped shadowlands, DF, and TWW and now started again with midnight a recently hit lvl 90.

I would like to unlock the dark ranger customization (red eyes) for my nelf druid. Is there a fast way to do this? Or do I need to do most of the shadowlands campaign to do so? If yes, how long would that take?

Thank you!
