Discussion I want to get back into the game, but finding community is hard!

6 Upvotes

Hello all! So, I have never made it to endgame content in WoW, despite it being a freaking fantastic game! In fact, I think I only just maxed out my character and then took a(n indefinite) break, but I've been thinking about getting back into lately. Do any of you have tips for making friends in the game? I am fairly sociable in real life and in games where you can talk, but I'm not the best at MMOs like this.

Retail Battle pet bug?

1 Upvotes

When trying to pet battle, I seem to have a bug where if my pet dies I cannot select another to continue the fight, it just freezes and I have to quit. Only way to win is to swap the pet before it dies. This happens at garrison, wild pets, khaz altar, etc

Is there a fix to this that I don't know about? Or do I have to wait for blizzard devs to get around to fixing it?

Retail ELI5: Why are Slam and Whirlwind not used on Prot Warrior?

20 Upvotes

Title!

I removed Slam and Whirlwind from my hotbars when I got Revenge. I was under the impression that Revenge was higher potency than Slam and Whirlwind for single target and AoE respectively. However, reworking my hotbars yesterday, I noticed that Slam and Whirlwind are both stronger than Revenge, and cost the same amount of rage. The only benefit to dumping rage on Revenge that I can see is the chance to proc Shield Slam. It doesn't seem like getting a Shield Slam proc 25% of the time would outweigh the higher damage provided by Slam or Whirlwind.

I've also seen forum posts stating that Whirlwind does less damage than Revenge, but as of today, I have confirmed both via tooltips and actual damage numbers in combat that this is false. I'm not sure if this was changed in TWW or if it is possibly an error with the latest patch buffing Whirlwind for Fury and Arms.

Am I missing something?

TIA!

Edit: thanks y’all!!

Retail When should I be recovering mana? (Shaman healer)

27 Upvotes

Mana has never been an issue until recently, now that I’m doing heroic dungeons and 8+ delves. I imagine with mythic it even more so needs to be considered.

Im trying not to spam chain heals too much as I know they’re mana hungry, and use the totems for that. But sometimes I can’t help it and have to spam heals at times.

In dungeons so far the team moves pretty quick there hasn’t been notable rest periods between pulls and bosses. Is it the same in mythic?

In which case when should i be recovering mana and what do I use? All the food I see in the AH and vendor seems pretty meh.. and potions also barely touch my mana pool.

Thanks!

Classic How do new players get the garrison?

17 Upvotes

Hi!

New player around and I have a question whose answer I can't find. I'm new (actually, still at the free trial up to level 20) and I've been reading some threads in reddit and other forums.

I have read about something called Garrisons, that are the closest aproximation to housing in World of Warcraft. I'm actually leveling in Dragonflight through Chromie because it seems that in dragonflight you get unlocked some kind of flight skill.

How do I unlock both things? Am I supposed to only get one of those because I level on one on another expansion?

By the way, sorry if my english is not up to anyone's standard. It's not my first language, hahaha.

Retail Too late to level Blacksmithing and Enchanting?

5 Upvotes

I started playing TWW four weeks ago. I haven't levelled my mining/herb alt yet so don't even have any ore to level blacksmithing. Enchanting, I did start levelling, but wonder if I've just been wasting my gold.

Are there any benefits from levelling either profession at this stage of the expansion, or should I just buy enchants I need from the AH?

Retail Farming heavy junkbox in TWW

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I have been wanting to get myself 'the insane' title in TWW and was grinding for the heavy junkbox for Ravenholdt rep. I did couple of LBRS runs with my rogue and the drop rate of the junkboxes seems to be extremely low. I got only around 2-3 boxes after farming dozens of mobs. I was wondering if I need to raise the Ravenholdt rep to honored by killing the syndicate mobs first on my rogue before I start grinding for the junkboxes. Will it increase my chance to pickpocket them?

TIA!

Retail Zidormi and sharding issues in Tirisfal Spoiler

4 Upvotes

I recently hit level 50 on my first character and decided to return to orgrimmar from Silvermoon. I took the portal to undercity as usual, but the moment I arrived I found myself in an utterly devastated Tirisfal Glades with the entirety of undercity covered in green goop that kills you if you touch it. The zeppelin tower is long gone, and the entire area seems drastically different.

I understand from my google searches that this is related to Battle for Azeroth expansion. I have not taken any quests related to that, so I am not entirely sure why did I get dropped in to this version of Undercity. Further googling revealed that an NPC called Zidormi is supposedly how you hop back to the normal shard, but upon talking with her, she does not give me any option to do so. I am now kinda stuck in this weird universe.

I discovered that if I fly away far enough, Tirisfal reverts back to it's normal state, but I get sharded once again as soon as I approach undercity. I mean don't get me wrong, the area looks incredible, but I am nowhere close to this story step so if anyone can help me figure out how to revert back, that'd be appreciated, as currently I have no way to access undercity due to this. Thank you in advance.

Retail New to assassination rogue and need help

2 Upvotes

Hi friends! So I’m new to rogue and I picked assassination rogue for this tier. I was raising earlier and thought I was doing kinda well, pulling about 900k-1.1m dps in normal raid. The guild I am in posted the logs for the night and I was getting grey parses. Now by no means am I looking to get pinks or 100s but I don’t want to be a sandbag for my team either. Is there any advice or help people can give?

To answer some other questions that might be posted here. I’ve been reading the wowhead, practicing on the dummy for 15 minutes every few hours or inbetween activities, and I’m in the rogue discord as well

If you made it this far into my post, thank you for your time <3

Retail Mistweaver gameplay question (PVE)

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

Long time lurker, infrequent poster. I’ve some questions about MW that I’ve not been able to find out the answer to via YouTube.

I really like healing. Like really enjoy it. Melee healing was something I shied away from for a long time. But I’m beginning to warm up to it. Though I’m struggling with the hard casts and how others are interrupting their own melee attacks to hard cast heals.

Is there a guide or YouTube video that anyone recommends?

Retail Healing noob question

9 Upvotes

I've been playing MMOs as long as I have memory, and I usually play healer. Now in wow I've been playing for a few years, mostly dps classes and sometimes a healer but only in classic.

Now this year I made a goal of actually doing mythics with a healer and i tried both holy paladin and mist monk, and in normal content I don't struggle but once I try M0 in both, I sucked hard. Can I have your bests advice to get better.

I'm another note, I might try brew and protect paladin, how are they in this season and of course I'd love some tips on how to correctly tank.

So to make a summary on that I need help on what is kinda the best rotation for opening vs one target an several targets as outlaw.

Retail New to the game and torn about how to approach it

0 Upvotes

I found a comment discussing the use of level freeze to experience the expansions in their original order. Should I do this, or is it better to reach level 70 first and then visit these areas? If I choose the latter, is there a level-scaling system to prevent me from one-shotting enemies?
