SO i start season as BM i do fairly well up til a certain point, then invs and kicks start.
So i get told to go MM, i go mm learn it fast and do well, nearly starting to like the spec even…
But then at 22s/23s its very rare that i get inv as mm, but if i just write surv i tend to get inv.
my issue, i loved BM its is my first love with hunter, but i was willing to go mm, since its also range. now it feels lackluster to be played like a fiddle all the time and swap spec and spec and spec and class. it is not fun
I’d say M+ at 22 and 23 is hardcore endgame content so the meta (or people’s idea of it) overrides everything else.
I sympathize with you but I think the only way out is to find players (guild, community) that are more chill. You’re not going to change a bunch of random people, for the better or worse.
What’s worth mentioning is that right now I like BM best as well btw.
The harder you push progression, the more Meta is going to matter to groups…look on the bright side, you are learning the full capabilities of all your specs (although tbh, I agree that swopping from ranged to melee is not my cup of tea, either).
Also, Survival has struggled for so long as a spec, I really can’t begrudge it, this moment of being the Meta Hunter spec.
i have no idea, but i have given up on BM regarding m+. i gave it a try but its over now it aint good enough for puglife.
MM aint good enough for puglife as well.
I delete my tier gloves from normal so i dont have full tier if i go surv again, but i can make tier gloves when its reset. i will see if i bother to play surv. i did a few dungeons with it, and it was very boring. but i got no other class that is as geared as my horde hunter. and starting over again this late in season is not a option, it will be surv if i bother or i will quit m+. dont consider this a qq post, its just a way for me to let go.
yea but if i reroll to lock as an example i will be missing all the vaults since i currently got no lock that did vaults… its just too much on missing out.
Its not a option for me to start gearing again, cba. i will give surv a go. and if i hate it, i wont play it. then its time for a break… i love m+ but not enough to play a spec i might hate.
It’s a game, dude. Do what feels fun. I have worked on like 5 level 60s so far and the moment I get bored I just switch and I have no feeling of losing anything.
Above all, you have to have fun.
Fair enough but I am not sure anyone here can help you (except offer you membership in a VIP club with super-geared players, I suppose).
Yes myself. there is something wrong with me, after pushing keys since legion anything under a certain lvl just feels off. Bm has never really been meta meta while i played it, its been good enough to do semi high keys. but not the top keys when i played it atleast. but now its so bad that im not even gonna bother to try beat my prev season score since getting declines all day long does not give me anything but bad vibes.
if u knew how i felt when i feel like im pushing and time those keys and the ups and downs, it gives me giga rush. but i havnt reached that point this season, its all been bad. from late tier set to bad spec to reroll and a newe round of declines. cba.
Well, I could a write book for you about that because I have only recently (last 2-ish years) started learning how to be less maximalistic and spare myself stress; stress that is 100% self-induced. I wish somebody told me a few things – and tried to help me with them – 20 years ago but what can you do. I can only say I get it, I’ve been on that mindset and it’s still rearing its head every now and then and I have to beat it down because I know exactly where the road ends.
Likely off-topic for WoW forums but do consider playing something else – or do stuff outside (lately I offered my wife a night walk on an impulse; got a knife on my belt just for the added peace of mind and we walked somewhere between 23:30 to 2:30 – felt great!). WoW is no longer giving me any rush and that has been the case for years. When I need to vent some violence I go to Quake Champions or Warframe, get my fix of “damn I am good” and I get out. Exactly like down-time should be: serve the needs of your soul.
In any case, I am not judging. You said it yourself: these posts are your way to cope with the fact that maybe at one close point in the future you won’t be playing as before.
Players on those levels and with an off meta spec all made friends along the line and are still happily playing that off meta spec. I am even following a (the) mistweaver on youtube who is running +26’s. No reason to go hpriest/rshaman at all.
You should’ve switched from BM to SV at the start; works with the same gear (apart from the weapon, of course); that’s at least what I did to have a back-up spec for my BM in case someone gets annoying. In general I just stick to BM though, it will get buffs sooner or later.
