I already replied to this. I know I make mistakes, I know what mistakes and I try always to improve but I’m also tired to continue blaming myself like I did until making guild runs made me realize that, surprise, I wasn’t the issue after all.
When I enter a 14 and I see that after 5 minutes my hps is above 4k, my damage is near zero and all dps are below 4K I will easily predict we will fail and no, sorry, it won’t be my fault. I will surely make my mistakes and maybe won’t save some random dps deaths here and there but the major issues lie somewhere else.
I'm happy with this.
What i didn't like about raider.io is that it was game design outside the game on how points were aquired. This way blizz reigns it back into the game. I am happy with that. A 3rd party website might not be required anymore.
Mists, especially in forti weeks with affixes that do not buff mobs further, allows quite a lot of mistakes, especially if dps that fail mechanics can at least do decent dps.

Yes and they can be also completed naked and blindfolded if you play pitch perfect but it’s never the case in pug.
Good luck in timing a DoS or a SD of a ToP 14 with 3.5k dps average, safe pulling also. It can be maybe done if everyone plays pitch perfect but as I said it’s never the case.
Yep, and that is what is wrong with rio as number simply turn people into vultures while whole game mode into rat race.
Im not getting accepted -> i push arbitrary score -> I get accepted bit more -> I want to push higher -> but im not getting accepted -> i need to push other dungeons
and the circle continues. The only way out from this madness is to make a network of friends.
So now it's basically turning people into numbers. Instead of providing basic data (like top X best dungeons) and giving more filters in finder.
+15s not +10s ^^ we farmed vault for mythic week and did a mix of 14s and 15s in time and downgraded the 16s and after the vault was caped we switched to +10s on mains only.
All this with a 190-195 ilvl and class stacking, we didnt had fire mages and boomkins faceroll +15s like you do now lol, my 3 raid chars this tier are DH (main) and Hunter, Ret as split alts so my 3 farm grps looked like this:
1.) 3 warr and 2 pallys
2.) 2 dhs and 3 druids
3.) 1 DK tank 3 Hunter and 1 shaman
im still baffed how this bads cant get ksm with 220 ilvl, renown 40 and 226 conduits and blaming R.io for it.

Uuuh yes sorry, I forgot, it’s Zexian-Zenedar(EU).
Nothing to hide, really, feel free to provide hints/suggestions to improve. What a pity that disbanded runs are not logged (but I can understand that).
I’m not a pro by any meaning and I’m not interested in being, just wanted to try getting KSM as a personal goal, nothing more.

My friend, I know that but I’m the guy who press random buttons when party energy bars go down, remember? I cannot lead runs, I can only hope people dps and don’t stand too much onto bad things on ground.
Yeah, more filters in finder would be a benediction. But I doubt it will ever happen.

Not much usually, too busy healing or dispelling or interrupting. I dps as much as I can but it’s rare I have many room for doing it. The only runs I could dps “for real” were guild runs.
In WoD ilvl naturally filtered out the badies because you could only obtain the highest level gear through the hardest content. And people complained that gear was "gatekeeping" them from content. Then Blizzard made Titanforging and the weekly chest to give the badies higher ilvl since they claimed this was the gatekeeping. But the badies quickly realized that even with better gear they are still "victims" to "gatekeeping"... because in the end they are still badies.

But you can argue that this is a good and healthy thing for the game. Players should make a network of friends/guildies/teammates.
As I said before I dps whenever I can but I usually don’t have much room for that, I’m nowhere near 1k dps I think apart from really smooth runs. Also dpsing as resto shaman is quite miserable you can only flame shock, lava surge when it procs and some chain lightning hoping you don’t have to stop cast because someone is dying.
The idea is
- apply FS
- cast CL
- apply FS to another target to raise chances of Lava Burst procs
- cast CL
- apply FS to...
Use LB when it procs as instant cast, apply frost shock if you need to slow a target or kill an explosive affix, end of resto shaman dps capabilities.
I don’t complain, I’m not interested in dpsing but rshaman is clearly not a Holy Paladin or a Resto Druid dps wise.
I think your biggest problem is that you're not really looking at your group members when you join a run. Like look at HoA:
Your latest run was a complete clown fiesta with two dps at 700 io and one at 1300. All three from the same guild. Clearly one player trying to carry their mates for a weekly 14.
The run before that looked really good at first glance. But look at that moonkin. He has no track record whatsoever for lower keys. He started at 15 and has some 16s by now all with some guild mates. He's clearly benefitting from good players in his guild who pushed him through. If you looked at him ingame, his "dungeons in 10-14 range" number must've been ridiculously low. A clear sign of someone being boosted. Also the DK had not many keys done at all as dps 11 days ago. He went from only tanking some of them to dps'ing a +14 with no real dps experience.
You could have a significantly better dungeon experience if you actually used raider.io before the dungeon starts.
