Hyperbole sums up the whole situation perfectly. 20 items? Which one? And you clearly want to be a special snowflake. Dont you think you have to go the extra mile for that?

There is no need to be an hoarder. Blizzard is not going to completely gut a certain trait out of nothing.
The best havoc trait got nerfed by >2x and one of the lower ones buffed by 2x. The trait used to be 3-4x better on the live server and now it's less desirable.

i think hes proved at this point hes just here to bait. I dont think there is anything left to discuss. He has no arguments beyond, "dont be an entitled snowflake" which isnt really an argument. Hi Tom[ Lahren, is that you ?

I dont really have a problem with any of those things, I am happy with the game, but the grievances people have are legitimate. You clearly didnt even follow the discussion when you replied to me initially so Im not really sure how to deal with the lack of a clue here.
Im just gonna snowflake my way out of this one. My feelings are clearly way to hurt to deal with this anymore.

So you are saying they nerfed something that is overtuned and buffed something that is undertuned? Like they balanced them to be on the same level? Are you talking about those changes?:
Eyes of Rage damage increased by 20%.
Furious Gaze haste increased by 40% and duration increased to 12 seconds (was 8 seconds).
Revolving Blades damage reduced by 35%.
Thirsting Blades damage increased by 70%.
Here is how Mythic Havoc azerite traits go: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/19#boss=2134&class=DemonHunter
Revolving Blades was nerfed the last time 24. September. Even before that, people didnt go 3/3 Revolving Blades at all cost. The only one dominating ones are the Uldir traits. So tell me, how does this proof your point of having to hoard traits.
By the way: I added that you should have a backup for something that is heavily overtuned. When they "gut" that kind of trait, its not out of nothing. And having like 3 different azerite armor on every spot is not hoarding. But of course, people have to hyperbole with 40 pieces! So please tell me, what classes have to hoard a shitton of azerite gear just because the are going to be completely fucked once trait X is nerfed. Less desirable doesnt equal useless.
"But 340 bis azerite gear traits are better than bad 385!" is also bullshit. You see alot of people wearing 385 azerite with All-Classes trait. So either those people havent been lucky enough to get their precious BIS 340 gear or they dont know to gear up. Which is odd, because they top all damage meters

Warcraft Logs
@WarcraftLogs
Sufficient warning has been given, and the "knowingly uploading bugged logs" clause is now in effect.
From this point forward, if you upload third room MOTHER exploits, your entire guild as well as all characters involved in the kill will be permanently banned from WCL.
"as well as all characters involved in the kill will be permanently banned from WCL"
I get this for exploits like the MOTHER stuff where it's clear to everyone what's happening, i usually hearth out of such cases. I hope that's not extended to weird shit because i've had more than a couple of logs removed because some random guy that i didn't know was doing an exploit without my knowledge. With 20-30 man groups you can hardly be sure that everyone else is playing legit.

Tappo since you showed up this thread has gone from polite discussion about WoW to rude arguing. Perhaps you are not the only person contributing to this, but you are clearly the catalyst. Tone it down and keep things civil, and the same applies to any other posters who disagree with you. This post is the only moderation action you should expect prior to formal warnings, thread bans, etc.

I didnt know you can exploit mother? You immediately die on pull if you are in room 2 or 3 from what ive seen?

Im the only one providing evidence that the OH MY GOD BROKEN AZERITE is not as broken as people make it to be. Oh no wait, someone just posted that Warcraftlogs is bugged and not reliable. Fuck. Guess i have to rely on peoples feeling again. Go on with the bitching!
One of those "polite discussion" leader called me a "Strawman" for not agreeing with everyone else. He wasnt even warned for this lowest form of discredition. People in this thread just argued in circles with no way out. "gated" gated" "gated" "gated out of X"

You soulstone a healer, have them accept it after the boss dies and then mass res in room 3. You can pull the boss when it respawns and take it to the third room; the fire doesn't do fatal damage through healing CD's and goes away shortly after the fight starts. You then skip most of the fight as you don't have to swap rooms and have the double damage right from the start

I pretty much agree with you 100% and also agree 100% that the last page of thread has been pointless arguing that’s unpleasant to read.
It’s not “what” you are saying, it’s “how” you are saying it.
In general people love to complain about how bad WoW is while still playing it. That’s been the case forever and while I don’t care for it, complaining about the complainers is also a waste of time so I’d recommend not bothering.
Per azerite, my opinion: systems bad, but it’s not that hard to deal with it. There’s ALWAYS been problems with gear. I was still wearing mandatory 2p t19 going into Antorus and never saw an arcano. So far nothing close to that level of annoyance to me personally. xD

I thought they fixed that mother exploit.

Maybe they did, i haven't done it
I caused a wipe yesterday in an Atal ~12 on the hard pack. We CC'd 3 or 4 things and pulled the rest away, killing the totem with single target attacks; in the space of like 5 seconds that it took to kill it my Azerite Globules procced 3 times and blew up, breaking all of the CC's. Guess i'l be taking earthlink etc instead in the future..

Your lack of a clue comes from that that is that I was actually on your side of the fence and you started arguing with me. Which if you had actually cared to the follow the discussion instead of just trying to pick fights would have been rather obvious. Y
The difference is that I think the game is fine while acknowledging that peoples complaints have some legitimacy.

Now what? He went personal. I cant go personal. What am i supposed to do? PM is not an option here.
Not sure what side of the fence you are talking about. Most of your posts are rants about looting, time investment and hoarding. You kept on saying that people have to hoard/refarm all the time just because they adjusted traits. Which is wrong. Go for it, check all the traits on Warcraftlogs and tell me which one dominates (affliction with corruption on zul does).
God i hope you arent talking about the cutting edge azerite 340 only community. And of course you were just being hyperbole for the extra "is he for real now"
PS: I got baited. Great

Only a couple of small upgrades, but nothing major. - No drop from the world boss, but that's whatever I guess
I know how you feel. I did 8/8 N and gave away all my gear because the only thing thats upgrade is azerite gear x.x
Hoping to get something good in my cache (were +5 ilvls from the gloves I had this past week).

Still haven't gotten an upgrade from my weekly cache. But then I guess that's because I got lucky with m+...

Yea at 360 Ilvl Normal is like meh just running for Mythrax for my Azerite piece. Still need to do the last 2 bosses in Heroic.
|
Up to 356 ilvl and beat my first +9 freehold today. Woohoo!
Second boss of freehold is definitely the hardest. Every time I wipe on that dungeon, it's the second boss. Kept me from upgrading my key, but at least I finished it.
