trying to make some content that i feel is missing, especially in the tank space, with high keys. check it out if u have some time and lmk what u think! this is my first video of this kind and im new to content creation :)

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I have finished my first draft of the guide - right now it covers broad topics, including the good and bad of the systems coming in Season 2. I have also included a short "Blizzard plz" wishlist to fix what I think are the few egregious things.

The week-by-week breakdown, my checklist, and Dev's addon will not be updated until closer to 12.1 as we wait for Blizzard to continue iterating on its systems.

Without further ado,

Hey everyone, I’ve been testing the reworked Temple of Sethraliss (18 July) and put together a guide covering the mechanics that caused the most problems in our runs.

The main things to watch are the big pull at the entrance, the soak and movement sequence on Adderis and Aspix, the new reworked Eyes Gauntlet, killing Merektha’s adds quickly to end Burrow, covering all three beams on Galvazzt, and managing Tormentors and Corrupted Lifeforce correctly on the Avatar.

Full guide here for anyone preparing for Midnight Season 2:

I hope this helps!

Hi everyone,

I had a look into the new nemisis boss on ptr today, and i got basically oneshotted by melee attacks as a range dps and as vDH I am getting threeshotted. I had Valeria on Level 1 with only 1 Curio, though. Now, I saw on Youtube, that people have already completed the challenge on ??. How geared do you have to be to actually play the encounter? And do you have time before S2 hits to level Valeria?

You can now bring your existing UUF profiles directly over to MSUF without having to recreate everything manually.

I checked with Unhalted before releasing this, and he’s okay with the converter being published.

Try it here:
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/midnightsimpleunitframes/files/8454694

The converter is still new, so if you find a profile that doesn’t convert correctly, please let me know.

Please note that UUF profile imports will only be available until Patch 12.1 drops. After that, support for these imports will be removed.

I hope this helps make the transition as smooth as possible.

How to: Go to profiles --> Import/Export and just import your UUF profile.

This is all best effort import expect some things to not be converted.

Have a great day <3

Hey everyone, I’ve been testing Altar of Fangs and put together a guide covering the mechanics that caused the most problems in our runs.

The main things to watch are Ravenous Descendant attack-speed stacks, High Evolutionist’s Evolve, the group movement check on the Writhing Coil, and clearing Ritual Venom correctly on Zul’jan.

This has happened multiple times to me now where the tank did some insane psycho pull late into a +21, and when we ask why, he says "needed to because we were behind", but then when we point that we're actually like 2-3m ahead of the timer, they usually go "Oh, my bad."

I've felt this as well. Sometimes things just feel super slow, despite actually having high DPS and being ahead/green on time, so unless you look at the timer regularly, it's easy to feel like you're lagging behind when you're not.

I know it's possible to snap mobs onto the Crawth platform as protection paladin, but I don't know the precise spot. Has anyone seen this?

Hey guys! Working on resil 21s right now as a Bear Druid. But, I seem to no be able to figure out how to do the left corridor correctly. I always end up with a massive massive healing absorb often twice as much as my actual HP. This prompts me to have to use all my cds in the first pull and I have nothing left over to really live the second. Am I doing something entirely wrong? I know I can push away the mobs but I can only do that once. After that they clap me with the healing absorb and theres nothing I can do about it.

Whats the strategy? How do you live that left corridor reliably, cause ive seem to have hit a wall.

Thanks for your help!

Edit: Lots of helpful stuff. Thanks il try to implement it asap!

Hi tank friends

I'm playing guardian this season and I'm 4026 io.

I find I am the limiting factor in pushing any higher this season, I find I am making mistakes or pacing my own defensives incorrectly and dying.

Could any title tanks tell me how they manage their defensives or pacing to not die in even higher keys?

I'll give some examples of places I fall over:

-22 AA: Vex platform, incarn used on the bridge before, perhaps on cd for another 30s-1min, I'll gather the pack with a barkskin and sometimes I'll be in a position without an active defensive and die. I know to kite this pack but I dunno, sometimes I'll just die gathering.

-22 SEAT: so this key I just dunno, sometimes I've gone all the way to the last boss without issue, other times I'll die after on the second pull after the big one when just gathering the last subjugator and the champions on the side because barkskin is on cd and I didn't use SI (this is the type of stuff I find I do a lot). Otherwise the wardens + big guy with knock back into champion bleeds are rough pulls, ok while incarn is up but hairy after that 30s.

-22 SR: the pull after first boss with the extra sleepwalked adept. Sometimes I cannot kite enough (they are too fast or group has used up their slows etc) before I have something up again. Sometimes I wonder if I should just run down the bridge or something super far away, does anyone do that?

-22 NPX: second pull with the champions and engineer etc, similar issues.

So you can see my issues usually lie after a big ass pull where I had incarn (I find those pulls easy, obviously would be with incarn), and I don't know if I'm pulling it too quickly or I'm just doing something wrong.

Something I do a lot is use barkskin during the initial gathers when tagging and I'm wondering if I'm doing it too early. I do it cos it feels like the most dangerous time with little ironfur up, but then sometimes it is gathered and barkskin is coming off and there may be just one charge of SI left off cd and that's all I'll have.

I know logs would be helpful but I haven't got logs set up.

Any tips from title or 22+ guardians this season for these pain points or mistakes in making would be very appreciated. Would love to hear if there is a Guardian that doesn't have issues on any of these pulls, I can copy your log :D

TLDR: I suck after incarn pulls, pls help

edit: Thank you for the responses, a lot of gold in here, there are small things I did not think of and that is what I was looking for. Ty!

Hey genuine question: how difficult is the 1% achievement?
I am normally mythic raiding, but have only played m+ for the teleports and then never bothered to push.
Haven’t played m+ actively since week 3 of s1
I am currently sitting at 289 ilvl on my shadow priest with only around 2800 rating, all dungeons done on 10, some on 12, 13.
I have friends who would push with me and who are at around 3800-4000 rating
Is it doable for an above average player with little xp of the current mechanics?
And assuming I would be able to push higher, could I pug with not playing a meta spec?

Edit: Thanks for all your honest answers, not gonna bother pushing then!

I came back to WoW after around a 15-year break and was in top 20 guilds for my entire time playing, but now I can't find a pug group or guild for end game content (everyone wants me to link AOTC or CE or IO for M+). I understand, since it seems like anyone can get gear a lot more easily now so those are what'll separate solid players from the pack. Loving the game again, but not loving spending a significant amount of time trying to find a group only to get rejected. How did you get back into endgame as a returning player or how would you if you were a returning player? Is it because I came back at the end of Season 1 and could I expect better results for the beginning of Season 2?

I already got both trinkets from windrunner spire via bonus rolls, but only at Hero quality (this was very dumb, but it's done). Now that I'm running +10 keys, the bonus roll only offers boots in the loot table. Trinkets aren't offered anymore even though I only have the hero versions.

Question: if I loot the boots (last remaining item in the pool), does the pool reset afterward (one can dream!), making trinkets eligible for bonus roll again? Or once an item is "checked off," is it permanently excluded from that dungeon's pool for the rest of the season?

Has anyone actually experienced a fully emptied pool and can confirm what happens next?

Have you checked out our Wiki?

With DPS you can look at logs, but my understanding is that healer logs aren’t that accurate, so what else do guilds typically use?

How are you guys feeling about the upcoming system where you earn the track above from vault & bonus rolls in raids?

I'm really happy something like this is being added. I might give up raiding in general now 🤣

Ive heard complaints that raiders can still earn the 9/6 track variants from end bosses but that doesn't really bother me. I don't think it effects 99.9% of players either.

The power comes from having the item in the first place, that extra 9 item level won't make a difference to virtually all players.

What do you guys think about it?

Hello all,

Fırst of all i play mw monk i started wow about 4 months ago, i liked the m+ concept and trying to push. Reached 3860 io with 1lvl 21 (ws) and couple 20's and 19's. Also watching gameplays trying stuff to improve. İ think i do good most of the times ( even completed MT and pos 20 with 0 deaths) but appearently im missing some basics.

İ joined sr20 last night with a 4 premade. They had a bit lower io then me but they all had 9/9 m so obviously they know things better than me, we wiped at the trash before 1st boss and then i left group saying ty for inv. İ thought i failed to heal and left but got a whisper saying we wiped because of random Stun i used. İ explained that all i was trying to do was helping interrupt and guy replied me that mobs kept casting spells because i griefed Stun ?? And told me to not to use Stun randomly on caster mobs. İ said ty for tıp and moved on. However when i check this i can't find any usefull Info.

Can someone explain me stunning casters randomly somehow make the caster mobs cast non stop or something or what did he actually mean?

Trying to improve so need to learn what it is about. Thank you.
