Question Murder Row Heartstop Poison?

16 Upvotes

Been tanking (Guardian) some MR 17s this morning and was surprised how much damage the Heartstop Poison is doing. Actually to a point where I need to change my pulls because I get absolutely demolished by them. Has anything changed with them? On 15-16s I could survive pulling everything from below the stairs and up to the two rooms. Obviously it's harder stepping up a key level, but still. Seems absolutely overkill now.

I have the perfect view of it taking out the paladin. No reason this couldn't have been in the notes. We probably would have been fine if we knew.

The new healer weapon will basically pull the entire dungeon

133 Upvotes

You've been warned. It pulls indiscriminately from hilarious ranges.

Log: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/bR1F6h29Kwy8HJpm?fight=1&type=damage-done

If I had to guess, the true range was probably like over 100 yards. After the first boss in particular, things were pulling from extremely far

Question Solo Labyrinth Boss Defeated – No Achievement or Treasure (Bug)

0 Upvotes

Hello,

After nearly four hours of attempts, I finally managed to defeat Kindojan, the final boss of the Labyrinth, completely solo.

The game confirmed that I had won the encounter, and the boss died. However, immediately afterwards, the entire Delve appeared to bug out.

Despite successfully defeating the boss:

  • I received no achievement.
  • I cannot claim any treasure or rewards or enter treasure room.
  • I am now stuck inside the Delve, unable to progress.

I'm reluctant to leave the Labyrinth because I'm worried I'll lose both the achievement and the rewards after spending so much time completing it.

Has anyone experienced this bug before, or could someone from Blizzard please help? Is there any way to trigger the rewards without having to repeat the entire encounter again and again?

I would really appreciate some assistance.

Character: Skandaroar – Argent Dawn

Discussion Labyrinth delve bugs

25 Upvotes

The new labyrinth delve bugged out on me twice tonight.

First run I nearly made it to the end, had 3 doors left, and got the smuggler room. Clicked the bag, mobs spawned, killed them. Couldn't click the bag again. Killed everything in the room, bag was clickable again, but this time mobs from the bag took about 5 mins to spawn. Killed everything, bag was never clickable again, couldn't spawn boss. I went around the whole room and side rooms, couldn't find anything else to interact with. Run over.

Second run I made it 2 doors in and killed the wraith boss with the souls. Killed boss, all the rest of the adds and souls, didn't get credit for the kill. Run over.

This is insane because every run starts over from the very beginning. I just couldn't do it anymore tonight, sad I won't get solo boss achievement on day 1. 😑 Saw a bunch of posts on the wow forums about this shit being bugged to hell.

Voidscar Arena - Watchful Harrower's Whirling Gust

25 Upvotes

In the first 5 seconds of the key, I was one shot out of stealth. I had not pressed a single button yet as we were gathering the pull.

After the run, I check my death log. I was hit by Whirling Gust with 600k overkill. This is an ability used by the Watchful Harrower. This mob only exists upstairs.

Is this a bug? Is this a known bug? Is this intended? I am so confused. Anyone have any information on this.

As the title says, is the new boss repeatable as rotmire was? So with 2 bonus rolls, can I kill it twice and use one of my rolls each time, to guarantee two items from the boss

Question Where to look for pug friendly routes between threechest and keystone guru?

20 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m a prot pala starting to push into a key range where I need to learn a lot more (18s). For routes, my main resource so far has been threechest.io, but I feel those routes are tailored to premade groups, while I mostly play PUGs or at most a duo premade. A player I ran with recently told me Keystone Guru has some good key routes. I had dismissed it because I assumed it only had beginner-level routes that wouldn’t hold up in higher keys, but after exploring it for a while I found some that look pug-friendly. Are they actually good? Has anyone used them successfully in 18s and up?

Last boss of Kings Rest and Voltatic Blaze

Am I missing something when the boss mounts the second raptor, or does Voltatic Blaze not put flame shock on the other when you target one. IE; Targeting the raptor, flame shock doesnt go on the boss, and vice versa.

Resource Green barrels fixed. Now the fire circle 1-shots you when combined with 1 tick. Does this need a nerf? Video evidence of the 1-shots.

132 Upvotes

Hi guys. I made a test video about the green barrels in Murder Row doing 0 damage in a +20 key. One day later, on wowhead, they announced that blizzard hotfixed the barrels. This is a good thing in my opinion. The only problem is, now the barrels 1-shot when combined with the red circle. You either use a defensive/external or you die. Do you guys think this is a skill issue? Or should blizzard tone down either the circle or barrel damage? Who here thinks we deserve this for pointing the bug out in the first place? (ellesmere did it first!) Thanks for your attention and for trying to make WoW a better game every day!

Question Looking for comprehensive Ele Shaman help

19 Upvotes

This is my first season playing as DPS (ele shaman) after having only tanked before. Both the role and the class are new to me, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

I had somewhat mediocre performance in lower keys, asked for advice and received a very great writeup from /u/RCM94 (https://old.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveWoW/comments/1wt37cl/weekly_m_discussion/pctjwx3/) - thanks again for that. I read more guides, watches Bondd's videos, proceeded to parse blue and purple in 14s and 15s and felt somewhat competent.

Today I hit Resi 17. I now have a couple of blue parses, some green - and a growing number of greys. I obviously still make a lot of mistakes with missed casts, wrong priorities, wasted procs or buffs. I'm a bit stumped on where to improve and on what to focus from here.

Here's the log of a grey parse +17 AoF I did today: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1LPf7ArMZK3yXa29?fight=19&type=damage-done&source=758. Compared to other Shaman players in the top 500 of the same dungeon and key level, I:

  • am doing 75% of the damage I could be doing (300k vs. 400k DPS)
  • with around 10% fewer total casts,
  • have a similar-ish number of Earthquake casts, but which only deal around 2/3 of the damage,
  • cast a similar number of Lava Bursts for similar amounts of damage,
  • cast less Chain Lightnings (~75%) and
  • my Ancestors deal less damage (~75%)

The missing Earthquake, Ancestor and Chain Lightning damage makes up for about 80k of the missing 100k DPS. I am also running a lot less Haste than other Shamans, and do not have access to raid equipment (the latter doesn't seem to be a deciding factor, though).

I've never optimised for a DPS class before, never played keys this high before and am a bit overwhelmed by deciphering WarcraftLogs for relevant data.

Things I'm still unsure about:

  • when to cast Lava Bolt - every time it's available, or only with instant cast proc or the Lava Burst Aoe buff?
  • how to prioritize spenders - cast them whenever possible, or only when about to cap on Maelstrom and focussing on Burst / Lightning in the meantime?
  • how important Chain Lightning is - most guides list it as a filler spell, but am I missing an interaction with Ancestors etc.?
  • which influence routing and pack size has on DPS; obviously competent teams will have larger pulls, but is this just a sorry pretext for my DPS or a relevant influence? In the log linked above my Earthquakes had ~7000 hits, other Shamans have ~9000 - larger pulls? Better EQ placement? Tanks moving around less?

Anyway - thanks for reading up to this point. Advice and analysis is very much appreciated.
