Wouldn’t it be trolling to do 17% much less injury for extra enjoyable? – Normal Dialogue

So, on my hearth mage, I discovered a construct I reasonably get pleasure from – downside is it does 17% much less injury than the WoWhead construct (it is going to get considerably higher subsequent season as a consequence of hyperthermia buffs, however will in all probability nonetheless be no less than 10% much less injury). I don’t benefit from the WoWhead construct, because it’s far more rotational and repetitive, and isn’t actually fascinating to play.

Is it trolling to run my construct in group content material? Like if I’m in your key and I’m doing almost 20% much less injury than I must be doing, however in any other case do effective, would that upset you?

Really excited about whether or not I ought to keep on with DPS or simply return to therapeutic which I do know I’m good at, however I believe is overly simple even in larger content material.

(As a facet observe, I additionally reasonably get pleasure from shadow priest, and my construct does 94% of what the WoWhead construct does, is 6% much less injury acceptable?)

Solo content material, no. Mythic+/raids, sure.

Some gamers could get aggravated when you’re enjoying a construct that does 17% much less injury, however they are often aggravated, as a result of not enjoying optimally isn’t towards the principles. You can’t be reported for it. You could get kicked out of group content material, however that’s the worst they will do.

At the top of the day, it’s your $15 a month, and when you’re enjoying a enjoyable construct and also you get pleasure from it? Play it.

I did it with my lock for a few tiers, they made affliction (significantly one which picks drain soul) a joke, it was actually a dps loss over taking no expertise in any respect on that row, however i simply stored enjoying it as a result of i choose the playstyle over casting shadowbolt lol

If you’re not doing tremendous difficult content material, who cares

What concerning the construct that’s solely 6% behind?

True, however I don’t need to be a burden both. Being the carry each key isn’t all the time enjoyable.

Well this season I’m pushing 16s and 17s, and I’ll doubtless push additional subsequent season, so I donno once I must be doing 100%. Highest I’ve gone in M+.

Yeah, don’t do this to your teammates then lol

Nah that’s effective imo. I personally don’t actually have a downside with the 17%, I simply know persons are merciless whenever you don’t pump out sufficient injury to their liking

Personally no, Doing mechanics is okay and other people suppose that parse is every thing however its not.

When I ran mage again in bfa I used to be all the time Arcane as a result of I principally would simply use no matter that transfer was that launched like 6 bolts at a time and nearly solely that transfer and could be the bottom mage in a raid however nonetheless one of many highest dps’ing courses.

My level is when you do it nicely individuals ought to hardly discover.

Are you a CE Mythic Raider? If not, knock your self out.
You’d be self-trolling by enjoying a construct you don’t get pleasure from.

What’s “acceptable” is dependent upon the group’s objective and expectations.

If you’re “pushing” (with PuGs), as you say, then presumably your objective and that of your friends could be reaching the best key stage you possibly can, so it is best to suck it up and optimize, as you’d be trolling the remainder of the group by not giving it your all.

Oh. Hey have a look at that everybody. The cause why I don’t m+ or raid appeared.

Why can’t you be the participant that proves everybody improper? I imply it’s believable, however do you have got the heart?

It’s the explanation why I don’t both. I’m talking from private expertise

I didn’t imply you lol. I used to be referring to your instance.

Lol. Hoping alt once more? New foremost?

You’re selecting to deliberately gimp your self and that’s your proper… don’t anticipate individuals to be accepting of it although.

I actually really feel like that is dependent upon the content material you’re making an attempt to clear.

For solo play or decrease finish content material equivalent to Normal/Heroic dungeons (and presumably even LFR)? By all means, go for it.

Once you begin reaching into Mythic cases/M+, N/H/M raids, or larger finish delves (I’d say T6+) nonetheless, you’re reaching into a gray space. The larger you go, probably the most people are going to anticipate you to be doing the very best you possibly can, and if somebody notices you’re performing considerably worse in contrast to what’s anticipated, a case could be made that you’re purposely griefing/trolling everybody else within the group. Granted, they technically shouldn’t be capable to report you for it, however I’m all the time involved with doing issues that COULD doubtlessly get that animalistic portion of the fanbase riled up.

I actually don’t like being a complete slave to the meta, however there additionally does come a degree the place the “fun” construct won’t be getting the job performed. By all means, you do you, however do it at your personal threat, particularly inside your personal server neighborhood.

With that stated nonetheless, when you do handle to search out buddies, a bunch, or a guild that isn’t involved with uncooked numbers as long as stuff is dropping, maintain onto that group! I perceive desirous to run the meta, however typically you bought to suppose outdoors the field too, and I frankly really feel not sufficient of that occurs in sure video games anymore (particularly RPGs and by extension MMOs)

As an instance, if people didn’t suppose outdoors the field and check out new issues, Super Mario Brothers would nonetheless be nicely over the 5 minute mark on the world file speedrun.

Right now I’m doing 16s and 17s on my evoker (aug) and I’m hitting a wall as a consequence of low injury. Will doubtless be reaching for 20s subsequent season.
