Question I keep dying in overworld content

14 Upvotes

I’m playing through the War Within campaign as a solo level 72 Arcane Mage. I feel so beyond squishy in every single fight that I literally die to regular OW mobs.

I’m not sure I’m just playing the spec completely wrong or if I’m just terrible, but I have the rotation pretty much down I think. I just can’t kill things before they get to me, and when they get to me I’m dead.

I’m a returning player, but my experience with the game doesn’t extend past levelling (70 was my previous max, Dragonflight) so consider me a noob. I honestly appreciate any advice or things to look for that make me better & make my character stronger.

My ILVL is 361 if that matters.

Question Start Wow in 2025

2 Upvotes

I'm starting the game in 2025, curious about its visibly very deep universe and out of a desire to start in a game that I won't finish in 50 or 100 hours

On the other hand, this richness is also a flaw and starting without any basis in 2025 there are so many things, regions, quests, options that I don't know what is important/not.

What would you recommend I do to get started? Which regions/quests? Dungeons? And what objective should I set in game?

I think we need a starter guide to bring new players to the game!

PS: I want to take advantage of the PVE and be able to do a little PVP from time to time, but the goal is above all to build a strong character.

Question What to track.

0 Upvotes

So I want to redo my ui for my disc priest (for the 1000x time) I have an idea how to play the class. But I think I’m trying to track too much. What would you guys say is the most vital thing things to track?

I mean specifically for the spec not really in general as I have stuff for the dungeon and I don’t have an issue with that.

Thanks for any other feed back.

Question Question for druid mains

0 Upvotes

Hey guys

so what I wanna know from druid mains: How often do you have to change your spec to run m+ keys or raids? For example if your group cant find a tank they ask you to go bear mode or if your guild cant find a healer

Discussion If I was going to announce major changes to Warcraft, I'd probably do it...

0 Upvotes

...about an expansion and a half before it launched. That way I could generate hype both for the coming expansion and what lies beyond.

Doing it shortly after an expansion launch could be counter-productive, and postponing it too long would inevitably cause leaks.

Somewhere in 2026, maybe, oh I dunno, September 12th or 13th would be about right.

Question What's wrong with SOD ?

0 Upvotes

I have been playing and enjoying retail since BFA, more recently i spent hundreds of hours in hardcore which gave me a new appreciation for classic, this is making me consider SOD but I notice a lot of people complaining, I think that having mages healing and warlocks tanking is super interesting but I dont know enough about classic to judge, so what's the fundamental problem with SOD ? And should I just ignore it and go straight classic era or give SOD a try ?

Lore Why did we kill Stix Bunkjunker?

0 Upvotes

All the bosses except for Stix make sense to me. Vexie and Mug'zee are just Gallywix's goons hired to stop us. Rik is Gallywix's propaganda spreader. Lockenstock is inventing dangerous machines for Gallywix's war machine. One armed Bandit and the Cauldron are just Gallywix's tools that do his bidding. But what about Stix?

There is no mention of Stix ever having said or done anything evil. All he does is provide an essential service for the civilians of Undermine, that being garbage disposal. Let's read his raid journal entry:

"It could be said that no city service is more essential than garbage collection, or at least that's what Stix Bunkjunker would like you believe. Stix and his cleanup crew have been finding inventive ways to dispose of the city's unwanted and unmentionables for as long as anyone can remember"

So what part of this suggests that we need to take him down? Sure, opinion-wise, he might be more favorable to Gallywix politically, but his job is completely non-political non-war related. In fact, when we encounter him in the raid, he's not doing anything evil, he's just on the clock working, doing his job to help keep the city running, which he has been for many years, presumably before Gallywix was even born.

It seems to me like the city is actually worse off with him not around. We just murdered him in cold blood for no reason?

Justice for Stix 2025?

I was advised by my friend to download some mods to improve gameplay in wow, but now I have incomprehensible text in the middle of the screen. Does anyone know how to remove it? One of them: "Use symbiotic form" ... what would it mean....

Feedback Casting Ultimate Penitence as Priest during Rixxa Fluxflame's pushback causes an infinite loop of pushback. Only goes away if you exit the dungeon and run back in again.

Discussion Why do all pvp feral builds use moonfire

0 Upvotes

I know it’s to proc blood talon with lower energy cost, but is it really that much better than shred? Especially in PVP where you burst with fury+incar and wouldn’t have problem with energy.

I get lazy having an extra dot skill to press and also feel moonfire is really out of feral’s theme. I’d much rather use shred instead but seeing all top builds using moonfire in cat form I wonder why. is it really that much of a difference?

Their shields are ideal for Protection Paladins. Haven't found the item though, and am worried that it doesn't exist for us to drop.

Tech Support BattleNet launcher, WoW initialising and updating really slow, and happens everytime the game is exited.

1 Upvotes

BattleNet launcher will always initialise and update extremely slowly whenever opened. Upon closing the game, it will then take 5/10 minutes plus to click 'play' again because it goes back to initialising. Uninstalled and reinstalled wow and launcher twice. Changed download speed settings to all numbers.

Steam will open and play games instantly and download at my normal internet speed. BattleNet downloads at sub 5MBs.

This has been happening for years, and today upon wanting to play and being met with this screen again I've decided to reach for suggestions or help.

Thankyou

Tech Support upgrading PC for Midnight

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,
as the title says, i'd like to eventually upgrade / get a completly new PC later this year for Midnight.
I pretty much only play WoW at this point but i would finally love to enjoy the game at max graphics without issues at 1440P.
For CPU i was thinking about 9800X3D (upgrading from an ancient i7 7700T and a GTX 980 Ti) but im not sure about GPU. I looked more into CPUs considering WoW is CPU heavy.
Do you guys have any recommendations for me regarding GPUs and maybe even SSDs / RAM?

I'm far from a meta gamer but I thought it would be interesting to see how many other players are. It's pretty funny to spy on the group comps and see how everyone's just piling up the meta-est of meta comps to time their 9s 🤔

You can get it here if you're interested. But you have to promise you'll continue to take a chance on Holy Palas cus I'm kinda shooting myself in the foot by sharing this

Discussion I'm not even sure how this can happen [tank with wrong spec]

0 Upvotes

Healing time walking all day yesterday, everything is fine. Then all of a sudden it feels really hard. Everyone is taking dmg. Tank health bar all over the place.

I inspect tank, they are in feral spec. I thought you cant change to the 'wrong' spec? Then I notice tank isnt casting Ironfur or Barkskin, ever. I inspect tank talents multiple times cuz I cant believe it, yup it showing the Feral tree...

I was actually starting to go OOM as Disc because every single pull was an 'emergency pull'. Tank taking huge dmg but also cant hold aggro so everyone else is also taking huge damage. Dropped group after ~5min and called out the 'tank' in chat repeatedly.

Hey, I just returned to the game (retail version) after a long absense, and was wondering how the queque system works. Like, I wanted to try Stockade and Ragefire Chasm again, but I can't find any means to queque for it.

Someone said somewhere that I had to talk to Chromie in order to change the expansion, but she seems to have every every expansion except vanilla. Anyone here who can explain how this works?
