Forgot vault screenshot again. Bunch of boring options, but 304 gloves that was turned into tier was the best option.
Affixes were Tyrannical, Raging, Volcanic - in other words one of the best possible Tyrannical weeks one could have. So the key spam continued unabated... And led me to KSM. Another mount I will never use outside of having a picture of getting it.

Gearing
The 304 gloves and then upgrading everything bar the bracers and a trinket to 298 made my overall ilevel go up to 295.
The trinket situation is kinda bad still and would be a big upgrade to upgrade the statstick I have in my bank at the moment. Still undecided on swapping unity to wrists, we shall see.
Current keys run on Esmënet: 106
Week 1: 39 (35 timed - 2 depletes - 2 not finished)
Week 2: 10 (9 timed - 1 deplete - 0 not finished)
Week 3: 7 (5 timed - 0 depletes - 2 not finished)
Week 4: 30 (27 timed - 2 deplete - 1 not finished)
Week 5: 20 (19 timed - 1 deplete - 0 not finished)
A short note on pugging as BM
When choosing to play BM I knew the "roof" in pugging keys would be some kind of level where the majority of the pugs would simply start running the pug meta. This season that seems to be Destruction Warlock - Windwalker Monk - Survival Hunter. This week I got into 3 17s and they were all timed by a comfy margin - but there was a bunch of salt about my spec regardless. Two of them were people not inspecting me before inviting I guess, and one tank was fairly upset. Despite my damage being on par with the actual meta specs.
But 17 and up, even if that seems to be scaled like a 13 last season - people want what is recognised as good. And there is a lot of people playing Surv out there, so have to compete with the zombie horde. I am going to try to get a proper Surv weapon and give it a shot once I have it. Not sure it would be higher keys, but at least give myself more of a chance if I end up wanting to.
The end of the spam
As BM I only need to shuffle trinkets, otherwise I am done. The valor for that I will just gain by playing a few dungeons a week. It was kinda fun to be able to do my own pace at my own time for once. Could even just leave the character be and do something else, since I reached a soft pugging cap.
Next up
Dragonflight beta is out. I want two things out of that. Test some specs out (vengeance dh/bm hunter/prot pala at least) and test the leveling experience once. If someone else I knows ends up there, perhaps try some keys once that is added.
Will obviously do more keys, but will try to do more at times guildies are about, like during weekends. I'd really like having some people to play with on a regular basis a couple nights a week again, that also shares I at least share some group behaviour mentality with. Like not obsessing over what others are doing during the run and be a dick about it, most importantly. And generally be in less of a rush, I guess.
