The season of horrible dungeons is over... With next season going to give it a run for most horrible dungeons in a season, but regardless, here is the recap post!
This time they count both raid and m+, so it stopped being a useful statistic? But it's been a ret paladin season - good numbers and facerolling play style usually means a spec gets very popular. Been a lot of them in raids, and at least one in every pug m+ it feels like.
Started the season doing both the raid and some keys on druid. Then killed more raid bosses/week on Mage so it took over. After the 2 month I almost only raided and did keys on Hunter, so it ended like it has done every season for a while now.
I attended a lot of reclears after I came back, so this number jumped up a bit. First time we barely did normal raid skips, not sure why since the two last bosses had good loot.
So this stat seems broken as always. It claims my progression on HC Ansurek is 3 pulls, which is the case for my hunter. But I had maybe 50 attemps spread out on mage and druid before my break, so maybe it just counts for the first character that kills the boss?
Those 102 days includes ~56 days of break, so it's not really a useful metric.
7s max for KSM scoring, the 8-9-10 keys are from guild m+ nights. Very boring graph :)
5 specs on 4 classes, down from 6 specs on 6 classes in DF season 1. I did not enjoy m+ on the two classes I started with, so not that shocking. Would not have liked the BM hunter either considering how lousy the aoe damage was a the start, but they fixed that somewhat.
Did not play with a stable group this season, so the most played comped must be really random. Not one with ret paladin seems weird. Come to think of it this might have been that one night I played my Mage in an Exiles guild group, and we did like 5 keys?
Mists tops with 29 and Siege bottom with 13. Mists, Grim Batol and Ara Kara the big three in guild m+, not sure how Necrotic Wake ended up number 3. Besides Mists, not a terrible spread.
Some early score with no pushing, then late season guild m+ nights led to some score, and pugged some keys we never do with guild for some more. 2440 was the account score this time. 149 dungeons is not less than 100, but it's 205 dungeons less than Dragonflight season 1.
Zøne top buddy with 13 runs (8,7%) and Slimall number 5 with 6 runs (4%). All of these are from guild m+ night, with Zøne and Fenaii and Kitiara the ones that doesnt run alts. Fenaii has appeared another season for the reason. Zøne I have not played with outside raids for 2 years almost until the m+ nights started; he seems to be one of those people that play 5-10 hours a week every week 52 weeks a year and gets to cross off all the goals that way.
It's really weird with no Tara, Ruthe, Rae or Sear - or any consistent group at all. Once I stopped tanking the possiblities weren't there anymore though, so it's just one of those things of the past.
In summary
This turned into a raiding season with a big break, and then show up for one raid night and m+ night towards the end of the season that racked up the m+ and raid boss kills numbers to "proper" numbers.
I don't think the season was very good. The raid and dungeons were not tuned well. The raid was enjoyable from theme/mechanical standpoint, but the dungeons were not. I did not find an m+ group I enjoyed playing much with, which is also a good thing as there is less obligation issues.
Overall, just a forgettable season and can only impove from here.
