I've really been missing healing for a while and there's no better time to swap back to the best role than Midnight launch.

A bug report lamenting the restrictive character limit of bug reports (255 characters), which makes it challenging to accurately describe the steps to reproduce some bugs.

It also mentions the confusing size of the textbox which, when you run out of characters, is only about halfway full.

After a number of bug reports on the Midnight beta, I had to make a "meta" bug report:

Yea, it's from March this year so I wouldn't expect it to be fully enforced for a bit.

Can't help but be reminded of flat earthers whenever I see people relentlessly going on about "WoW coming to consoles" despite the facts out there.

That's fair, completely forgot about stuff like Mists 😅. That's what I get for reading patch notes during work breaks.

Those are true and good points. I don't personally mind losing the healer kicks.

My confusion was just about people presumedly having party/raid members targeted, which hasn't been my experience, at least, since early vanilla.

A quote from a recent Bluepost where Blizzard claims that healers don't have enemies targeted.

I'm confused. Are the devs somehow under the impression that healers *aren't* targeting enemies? I would loathe healing in modern WoW if I had to keep targeting people before healing them. #worldofwarcraft

I've yet to hear a single argument against restricting the use of "AI" that would have a Clegg to stand on.

I'm hoping that with Midnight the #worldofwarcraft name filters get a wee overhaul.

Hard-mode Ky'veza (The War Within: Season 3 Delve Nemesis) cleared on the 58th pull as a Retribution Paladin.

Another banger for the season. Unlike last season's nemesis, Ky'veza was a really fun fight to learn and progress. Pretty please, @blizzardent.bsky.social , more of these in the future!

And finishing off the curvy week by getting Keystone Legend after multiple close calls and abandoned keys. This was a good week.

Time to relax in weekly 10s for the rest of the season.

Loved this raid, Dimensius was the best Heroic end boss I've fought in a while!

With the preorder it has undergone a couple of minor changes.

With the Haranir, I might finally have an Alliance race for a Shaman.

Now we've left the Undermine, it's time to dress up more like the class again. #MogMonday

Managed to get to Keystone Hero during the first week of the season for the first time.

The raider in me is itching for the new season, the M+er is dreading the initial score grind.

I miss the simpler days when using Wikipedia as a source was questionable.

Also, the amount of wonky code and SQL queries people keep getting from Copilot and posting in tickets and chats as "solutions" at work is frustrating.

Thanks! I felt inspired to make something red after I got those DK pants. Quite happy with the result as well, especially since most of the mogs I own are leather.

No, it's a waste of natural resources and you know it.

The weekly struggle in #worldofwarcraft of wanting to heal again but not wanting to babysit raid or party frames.

I'm happy I got to experience healing in WildStar but it's ruined healing for me with how good the player-based AoE telegraphs felt.

Maybe we'll one day see something similar in WoW.

Nice! I can save some tendies for a change. The last few months have had quite a trade deficit, one could say 😁.
