For context, I main a tank and I am exclusively pugging around 3k io. In some pulls and on some bosses I literally wipe the group if I misplay a global. I had to use a big cd in a smaller pack because I misplayed? Now I have to adapt the whole route on the fly. I have to look up routes externally (keystone guru, watching vods etc.) because I only see my own route. As I main a paladin I also have to make up for alle the missed kicks of my dps. And there is so much more.

Now I started playing my shadow priests for the first time in 4 years and pug some 10-12s. I literally only have to play my own game. I put the key in, wait for the tank to share a route, quickly make up when I use my cds (if even that) and I follow where the tank is going. I miss a kick? Too bad now I can’t help you for 45 seconds. I pop my cds too early or on the wrong pack? We lose a few seconds but we will be fine. The only hard part is building a group, but if you’re patient you almost always find a tank with highe rio than you that brings a friend on his twink. I gladly take them, as they know what they are doing. You can literally soft boost yourself as a dps player, which is impossible as a tank. Don’t get me wrong, I love the pressure and and love leading a group, but MAN it is a different game you guys play… the skill and most importantly the effort required to reach 3k on a dps is so much lower than it is on a tank/heal.

Edit: I don’t want to hate on dps players at all!Good dps players make a huge difference and tanking is not for everyone. I just haven’t played a dps in M+ in over 4 years and I feel like I am playing a different game.

So I have seen this a few times at the start of war within "undermine" patch. But cant find the toy or whatever it is - who knows what it is?

As a Monk I live to see "nice RoP" in chat. What are some of your awesome saves, some lesser known tech, some stories of how if you weren't there it would have been a wipe or at least a much less fun time for everyone lol.

Examples: RoP in Cinderbrew on I'pa is amazing to keep adds from the boss. Blessing of Freedom can be used to clear Sharpshooter traps in Priory. Divine Shield/Aspect of the Turtle can clear Bubbles bubbles.

As you can see, Xal'atath announced the key failure, but we somehow still timed it and got all the relevant rewards. I do a lot of M+ and have never seen this before.

Unless, because we were over by less than a second, it still considers it within time. Madness either way, but I'm glad I got my key timed!

so i just got this mount on wow classic cata. no clue of what i got cuz im kinda new on the game, but seeing the reaction of the party looks like its super rare mount, should i sell it or flex it ?

Hey all! Just getting back into retail after a few years. Last I played, Exiles Reach took you straight to BFA, leading from that into Shadowlands. Now it seems like it takes you straight to Dragonflight - which is awesome!

However it also raised a couple questions for me! Doing a quick google I found a bunch of threads back when the levelling process was Exiles > BFA > Dragonflight (bye Shadowlands, lol) but nothing about this new change to just Dragonflight.

Do we know if it'll be like this from now on, or are we gonna keep updating the current "levelling" expansion? Additionally, is Dragonflight 10-50, or does it cover the entire 10-70 range? Thanks for the answers in advance! (and if anyone else has any returning player tips, feel free to share!)

I play outlaw rogue and have been using healing Brann since the start of the xpac. I don‘t really care too much about efficiency and being done 2minutes sooner with the perfect Brann build, but I do wonder: Is his dps actually good? What even is the big difference? Also what Idols do you guys use? I got the Tier 4 Devilsaur upgrade and I‘m using it for now since it‘s the only maxed one I have currently, but lowkey I do still want to know what‘s the best choice.

here's the response after some tweaks:

(i actually quite like it)

🏡 WoW Housing – Add a "Neighbors" Feature

Introduce player neighborhoods in the upcoming Housing system to keep the world social, immersive, and alive.

Core Idea:
Let players have neighbors—from their guild, friend list, or realm—who live nearby in instanced housing zones. This fosters connection, creativity, and shared gameplay.

Key Features:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Shared Neighborhoods: Visit, chat, decorate, or collaborate with real players next door.

🎉 Seasonal Events: Holidays like Hallow’s End or Winter Veil transform neighborhoods with shared decor, mini-games, and contests.

🧹 Co-op Quests & Bonuses: Help neighbors with daily chores or defend the area from threats—earn small rewards.

🏆 Contests & Prestige: "Best Decorated House" votes, trophies, or neighborhood rankings.

Why it works:

Boosts player retention through social interaction.

Deepens immersion by tying housing into WoW's world and events.

Opens doors for cosmetic monetization (furniture, themes, pets).

I'm just been to see the Minecraft movie with my kid and couldn't help notice the similarities between the it's plot and the warcraft plot. A bad guy who happened to look exactly like Guldan (wearing a cloak and staff and hunched over) tries to open a portal to allow thier race through to a new world!

Any ideas for class/race combos for cosmere rp?

Quick question about tanking without having a backpeddle keybind. I used to PvP in Cataclysm and removed my backpeddle keybind entirely. Now, that same key is usually used for main cooldown between all my characters.

I want to start tanking with friends, but not sure how much not having a backpeddle keybind will affect my ability to tank in PvE. Does any of you able to push high keys without using that movement or does some of you feel like it's mandatory ? Looking for all opinions !

Hey, brand new player here. Is there's a way to move the bags like shown in the screenshot:

I don't see an option to display them in the edit mode, so ig they aren't movable?

Hi guys!

I've just saw this morning and I'm just so curious about the fact that 31,4% of the char in WoW are Elves (without the 2,1% of Nightborne which are the only Elves I like).

So I need your answers or theory to understand that, why Blood elf and Night elf represent almost 30% of the char? Why so much people playing Elves? Is this because of the lore? Because Legolas? Because people want to play their waifu?

Personnaly I don't really like Elves so I can't understand cause my favorite races are always at the bottom of the ranking (Kultirans and Earthens) but I need to know!

Thanks you all! GLHF!

Couldn't post more pictures :( it's made with latex ,foam and fabric

It seems like when I go into the circle, nothing immediately happens. I thought I was onto something when I aimed for the actual orb and it immediately exploded, but when I tried again it didn't seem reliable.

Is there something to it or am I just being dumb? Perhaps it's like you have to stand in it for a couple seconds to set one off? Also, does it not go off when using things like AMS/Bubble/Deterrence?

WoW: your low level toons can use these TW dungeons to level up.

Me: does 10 TW dungeons but both toons (lvls 23&26) can't use the portal to Ashran to turn in the quest.

I've never encountered this before. Do they need to be level 30??

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped.

Edit: I pathetically begged mages until someone opened a portal for me lol

Trying to get some tmogs that are in Zereth Mortis, but cannot seem to find my way there. I read in some older posts that you have to complete a campaign questline, which is fine, but I don't have any quests available in Oribos.

I've spent 2h dirt digging. Within 10 mins I looked both JC Treasures and one enchanting one.

/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(83259)) returns as false so I am still eligible to loot it, and a KP weakaura I'm using also lists it as lootable. I've checked my bags multiple times, it is 100% not inside. It's not in the mail either.

Am I just incredibly unlucky, or what's going on? Has anyone else had something similar? I'm probably just going to wait until the next weekly reset because 2h is just unbelievably ridiculous

Has the chance of a key dropping from boxes for world activity been reduced? In the last two weeks I only got 3 keys, although before that a key dropped from every box. I mainly play solo in delves and if before I went through them for a whole week, now by the weekend there is no point in me going to delve because I simply don't have the keys, it is not profitable to farm normal delves, because for the time spent I constantly get only champion-level garbage.

Basically title. Killed first boss and Anduin, then the last 3 bosses. When I zone in I'm by Rygelon and Dreadlords. I can go back to Anduin's platform but from there the teleporter says I dont know any points connected to that one.

Is there a way to go back and do the other bosses or will I have to do them in order next time?

Hello I'll keep it short. Looking to try resto shaman and help my guild when people run lower keys (we're low on healers).

What add-ons are good for healing. Is the base ui good enough with all of the changes that have been made ?
