Well then, one month of season 1 already over. And not even been remotely close to neither the original "how to play shadowlands" plan I had nor some kind of hyper efficient goal oriented playstyle. Such is... the afterlife?
m+ goals:
Doing m+ has been sorta awkward, pretty much from the start. Just ignoring my own predictions of friction going to happen and the idea of just pushing keys once the amount of people kinda stabilized, I instead did the opposite, because m+ is kinda the only content I find worthwhile in the game currently. And I made a big mess because of it. Both with the people I grouped with and the people I have played with for nearly 2 years I sort of stopped interacting with for the first 2 weeks. Came very close to being done with game again like at end of WOD...
But I got out the cheap way and just let someone else do the invites and organising, so it's no longer me that is causing stuff. And I can be more egocentric and only tank in groups that won't have issues with how I do things. To me, that is more egoistical than the way it was, but I've had no issues since so.
Needless to say I've not timed a single 15 yet; timed 11 Halls of Atonement and 11 Sanguine Depths as the best ones. And nearly timed a 12 Spires of Ascension only missing the timer because things just did so much group damage just staying alive was hard. Clocked in 22 keys done on the DH in week 4, which is clearly too many, especially since it was Tyrannical - Necrotic. But people kept getting keys that they wanted done or I wanted done, so that was that. Doubt I'll have any 15s timed in month 2 either.
Raid Goals:
In week 4 of the season, we killed Sire Denny normal and Shriekwing heroic. Think we're doing normal for a while yet for gear and then do progress in heroic after, so Curve is not gonna happen in month 2 either.. Havoc is ok to play in raids, but bumbers have been bad so far. But so has frost mage and destruction warlock which was the other two things I considered for raids this expansion... So I was damned anyway. Damage was fine on Denny, Stone Generals and Sun King, otherwise I'm just a caster trinket. There's 2 trinkets from Heroic CN I really want, but not sure how they line up to any 2 220+ vault trinkets from dungeons.
Soft goals:
The reason I will have a rank 4 dps legendary before a rank 4 tank legendary, in spite of playing havoc 4 hours a week and god knows how many hours of tank:
If I want to max out my dps legendary it's not exactly super costly... While the leather gloves for the rank 4 tank one costs more than 5 times as much.
I tried to make an estimate on how much leather farming I would need to do to craft them myself, or how much it would cost to buy the mats to level up LW with, but that did NOT seem like a good idea. So this might take a while...
Renown has fixed itself except for the covenant campaign quests, but luckily it's only 2 more weeks of those if the ingame flowchart is to be believed. So Renown 28 after 2 months of season, 40 after 3 months 2 weeks?
The one thing I have done right is to not touch the Maw at all. Happy fun times! Don't feel like I am missing anything.... Yet. Ask me again when I have a 226 Haste Versatility item in a socket slot I guess.
