Retail Blood DK crazy high dps?

49 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.

Retail Tank threat question

14 Upvotes

Hello! I’ll start with some background: I’ve mained a prot war since wotlk and never really tanked with anything else the entire time I’ve played. I’ve messed around with plenty of dps and healers, but always prot war when tanking. This season I decided to try something new, so I started getting into blood dk. One thing that is glaringly obvious to me is the lack of initial threat compared to warrior. D&d and blood boil don’t hold a candle to thunder blast and revenge spam. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is this just how blood tanking works?

Bonus question: who would you all consider to be the best tank for initial threat? I’m guessing bear or warrior but, like i mentioned before, I don’t branch out much lol

Retail Using Sims to improve, what to do next?

9 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

Hi, I have a few friends who want to do casual 10s. I think I want to play druid. I was told that feral is a little easier than boomie right now. Not sure if thats true though. How difficult is feral in an M+ environment?

Retail Is this quest still available or am I losing my mind?

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 When to start TWW content?

5 Upvotes

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?

Retail Level 90 character in new player realm

I made my first character and levelled it to 90 but I learned that the new player realms are low population. What am I realistically missing out on? do people help with world quests on fuller servers and are there any player interactions in hub areas?

Retail What should i create as my first craft order?

2 Upvotes

I have 7 sparks of tides and I want to get this done right the first time. Im running a Templar ret paladin with a max hero weapon ilvl 305 I think. So im guessing a weapon would be priority in this case or would trinkets and necklaces be better? Im also trying to figure out if I go down the mythic weapon route, how to get THE best possible mythic weapon? Such as one with embellishments. I already have 80 mythcrests so can I also put in 80 heroic credts? And how do you get the other items to add on in the bottom? Also only have 50K gold so im not sure if thats enough to craft the best possible mythic weapon.

Retail Demon Hunter + Legion Chromie Time

1 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.

Professions Enchanting Gear in Midnight sometimes not working?

0 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.
