It’s the forums.
There’s all types of people here.
Including others who feel like bashing cuz “it’s cool”.
I have to make this joke it seems appropriate.
Thank you for that information, have you applied for sainthood yet? Might wanna give the pope a call.

You’re really not tho. First off you’re not widely known, never heard of you before, only regocnize your name from another forum post about how to get easy glad with UR trinket.
Can’t deny you’re good in pvp, but you’re nothing in pve.
You have a log average of 94.4, but it’s heroic, that’s like saying i am one of the best pvp players cause i have 95% winrate at 1600 arena rating, like wtf.
Not to mention you’re playing the statistically worst spec in the game, meaning the players you’re parsing against are for the most part bad players, massively inflating your logs.
I don’t consider myself one of the best mages. Far above average? yea for sure, but not even close to top mage, and i have 95.9 average logs (though with a fire and frost mix, but the 2 frost logs are from start season when frost was 3 times more played than fire).
Just to give you an idea, you’re playing the worst spec, and you’re not even top 1000 in it by your own metric (you’re 1370).
Not to mention, pve also includes M+, where i don’t think you need me to tell you, that you’re barely even performing average.
If you posted from an alt, then disregard this, but also note that that just makes you look even worse for claiming something like that an then hiding the real character.
I almost didn’t wanna respond to the meat of your post after that, but since you are still an above average player, and probably top player in pvp, i decided to read the rest, and i will mostly be tackling it from a pve (more precisely M+) perspective, since you just specified improve gameplay, and not pvp and you claimed at start that you were both good in pve and pvp.
I think there is some truth to this, but only at a certain point. If you’re struggling with your class already, then yea don’t go and learn other classes and spec, it’s just gonna slow down your progress. But when you actually get somewhat good at your spec, branching out can be a great way to gain more knowledge and experience.
I play 11 different classes currently and from this i have learned more about playing around other classes, what they can do, what they can’t do, how i can play around them better. This is immensly helpful when leading keys and coming up with strategies on the fly based on what we have. And yes you can just learn it by reading or watching, but a whole other thing is having tried it and knowing how it is to execute.
I could imagine this also have value in pvp, as one thing is knowing what your opponent can do, another is having tried to play with those tools, that will give you a greater insight as to how your opponent is likely to approach you.
I definitely agree with the first part, there’s never really a reason to backpeddle.
As for the other thing i don’t know if it’s really that valuable in pve, for that i would much rather have players spend those 10 minutes doing stutter stepping if you had to chose, but it does have value for dodging mechanics if you’re more of a reactionary player than planned movement.
For pvp this sounds fine, you can do a similar thing for M+ as it’s really hard to sim that.
For raiding just simming is fine.
Also for pvp and M+ that is too complex to sim, you can also look at top players as a guideline for stat priority.
Also remember vers reduces damage taken, so you can take that into account.
And yes never fully trust the guides, they are made for beginners.
Completely agree, but it also extends to pve and more specifically M+, see point 1.
100% agree with this, but it’s still possible to play top level with UIs not like that (see deepshades or pikaboo)
Not gonna comment too much on the arena part, i don’t think you need both focus and arena 1-3, but to each their own i guess.
This is also massively useful in M+, and way too many players play around it. It makes it so much easier to have cover a specific interrupt while focusing damage into another target, where i see a lot, even around 2.2k rio that just focus all damage into their interrupt target just because they have to interrupt it, even though it’s not the focus.
Especially on rogue this is useful with gouge, kick and blind all having a focus macro for me when playing keys.
Don’t really agree with this. It makes a very little difference depending on which item you’re going for. If you’re going for leviathans and there are 7-8 casters in the group, the chance of you getting it if no one has it and 1 person has it, is practically the same.
The mythic island thing is so toxic and you should be ashamed of yourself for promoting such behaviour, it’s gonna be much slower that way.
Honestly just get a tank and 2 dps that are overgeared AF and just pull half the island and blast, much easier and more fun.
The warfront thing is toxic AF aswell, like you’re actually a horrible person.
The thing about keeping gear is more fine, but still really douchey, but i can at least understand that behaviour, though i do not agree.
how the F can you say this right after suggesting some toxic ways to take advantage of the community.
I agree with the point, but you don’t practice what you preach.
Overall i would say the tips are pretty alright, and following these will definitely help players, but damn those last 2 really ruined your post man.
The dude is a colossal troll doing this to get responses. Taking him seriously isn’t the right approach imo
