most fun tank, come at me

red knoll
#

isnt sanlayn like

#

all haste

#

required

void magnet
#

yes just sim

#

that is how u win on bdk

trim plaza
#

i eman it needs alot more haste, DB doesnt

azure ibex
trim plaza
#

yep

#

u are right

#

about that

#

but even sanlayn is not that haste hungry, ug et alot from sanlayn tree and boneshield already, but more the better

red knoll
#

i like db but i heard sanlayn is ridiculously far ahead

trim plaza
#

i have like 23% base haste with sanlayn gear, 14% with DB gear

trim plaza
red knoll
#

i just like the scythe man

#

🙁

trim plaza
#

play it bro

#

its good too

void magnet
#

yea just play it

#

most of the SL players are inting

#

so they do the same amt of damage

#

regardless

red knoll
#

15%

trim plaza
#

sanlayn is good if u can handle to keep the buff

red knoll
#

is a lot

void magnet
#

yes 15% is alot but you make a mistake you lose it pretty quick

trim plaza
#

also db is a bit tankier, mby liek 4% XD

#

sure that makes difference with blood

void magnet
#

they removed all the fun parts of SL for keys anyways no more blood beast nukes no more infliction of sorrow nukes

red knoll
#

isnt it just full heart strike

#

as SL

trim plaza
#

naah

#

ds is ur main character

#

on sanlayn

#

it cranks

#

vampiric to keep buff going

red knoll
#

thought u wanted to hs for

trim plaza
#

and rp

red knoll
#

dance of midnight

shut jasper
trim plaza
#

i mean u do that in db too

shut jasper
#

I miss when my ugly child was strong on sl

#

no fun anymore

red knoll
#

im currently 5th in damage on my bdk

#

in lfr

#

x.x

#

while talking to you guys

shut jasper
#

but haven't touched my dk in a while

azure ibex
#

the b in bdk stands for bear

red knoll
#

and afking fights

azure ibex
#

bear dk

trim plaza
#

on sanlayn, DRW windows u spam vampiric strike/death strike, outside of DRW u keep buff going and death strike ofc

shut jasper
#

death strike being your top even on large pulls is mildly amusing though

trim plaza
#

and blood boil cause it does shitton of dmg

shut jasper
#

that thing slams

red knoll
#

this my current loadout

shut jasper
#

wrong rune for sl

red knoll
#

ya

#

i know

trim plaza
red knoll
#

im db rn

void magnet
#

play sang even on db tbh

#

more importatnt damage

shut jasper
#

probably correct for db yeah

void magnet
#

ethical

trim plaza
#

ye sanguination always in raid

shut jasper
#

since it's a lot more st

trim plaza
#

fallen for DB in m+

red knoll
#

i mostly m+ on it rn

vernal fog
#

pls make bear suck in raid and op in m+ 🙏

shut jasper
#

hell I think last time I simmed sanguination was ahead on 5t

red knoll
#

WHY

shut jasper
#

but this was ages ago

trim plaza
#

cause death strike cleaves

#

u have perma 3 target DS

shut jasper
#

yeah but only 3t

void magnet
#

yes fc is better on db if you are padding and hate your group

red knoll
#

only time you you d&d is on procs right?

oblique moat
#

pls make bear suck in group content and OP in delves

shut jasper
#

thought the cleave would make the alternative pick up at 4t+

azure ibex
#

fc db sl ds d&d reeeeeee

trim plaza
#

u get dmg and healing buff inside d&d

shut jasper
#

you should start saying random prot warr stuff pasha

red knoll
#

god i hate targetted upkeep spells

trim plaza
#

DB might get slight edge in like 20+ pad pull

shut jasper
#

are they still running the talent that makes dnd go kaboom sometimes?

red knoll
#

so i really need to upkeep d&d

#

every 10 seconds

#

ugh

trim plaza
shut jasper
#

wait what

trim plaza
#

ye, unholy was op so it got reworked, now u play the other choice node, ggs

shut jasper
#

smh

red knoll
#

basse

trim plaza
red knoll
#

why they make me spend a rune every 10 seconds

#

for upkeep

#

x.x

shut jasper
#

tbf the other option on the choice node does something defensively

trim plaza
#

i mean, its not that bad

void magnet
#

bc its good button

#

keep it up

trim plaza
#

5% dmg, 6% healing we take those

#

or was it other way

#

w/e

red knoll
#

when do you marrowrend as sl

trim plaza
#

also if u play DB u have perma boneshield anyway

trim plaza
#

why? because of ossuary

red knoll
#

is DRW window still heartstrike spam

#

or did they change that

#

sorry vamp strike

void magnet
#

yes if you dont cap rp

#

you ds to not cap

#

otherwise its 1 bb

#

and all vs

red knoll
#

whats the 1 bb do

trim plaza
#

vampiric strike and send DS to not overcap

trim plaza
void magnet
#

applies the drw bb plageu copies

trim plaza
#

DRW copies ur strikes

#

DS, vampiric, Blood boil, marrowrend

red knoll
#

o right

azure ibex
red knoll
#

i knew that

trim plaza
#

but then i didnt even level that character LOL

#

idk what happened

azure ibex
#

I find it to genuinely be fun. The apex isnt all that exciting but its always satisfying to hit people with a shield and ignore physical damage as a concept

red knoll
#

is consumption a real button in raid

azure ibex
#

Plus you get a lot of strong mob control now

#

Having a ranged silence is giga

red knoll
#

can we talk about how

#

warriors get that

trim plaza
red knoll
#

and no one fucking says anything

void magnet
#

yo upress it

trim plaza
#

cause warrior didnt have anything for shit long time bro

azure ibex
#

Warriors needed something

red knoll
#

bears needed something

#

x.x

#

wheres bear utility

azure ibex
#

Its called 200% thrash

trim plaza
#

imagine if stampeding roar would still be only bear thing

#

fcking hell

red knoll
#

imagine if bear had anything unique

azure ibex
#

To be fair they giga nerfed the prot move speed util and its not worth taking for the speed

#

Its great for kiting though

red knoll
#

you have a roar now

#

x.x

azure ibex
#

We have a quarter of a roar on a longer cd that only effects people within like 8 yards

#

Sorry, 6 yards

red knoll
#

still a roar

#

its also 12 yds

#

cuz the talent u always take

#

that doubles it

azure ibex
#

Still pretty dog

red knoll
#

isnt that literally stampeding roars radius

azure ibex
#

15 yards for roar iirc

trim plaza
#

y roar is 15

azure ibex
#

and double the speed boost

red knoll
#

doesnt the capstone make it more

azure ibex
#

No

red knoll
#

importantly its also a snare

#

which is cool

azure ibex
#

Yeah thats what it gets used for

#

Very nice for adepts in skreach

trim plaza
#

d&d slow is fcking op for those

azure ibex
#

Though intim shout is also pretty strong and on the same node as piercing

trim plaza
#

and ams also immunes those melees

azure ibex
#

But intim also doesnt work well in some dungeons cuz its a fear and theres a lot of undead milling about

#

Anyways, Wrecking Throw is goated and i hope they never take it away

#

Ranged silence my beloved

trim plaza
#

how long cd?

#

cant remember

azure ibex
#

45s

trim plaza
#

yikes

#

i mean its better than nothing i guess

red knoll
#

45 second silence is insane

#

lol

#

when you have a melee kick

trim plaza
red knoll
#

on top of it

azure ibex
#

And its not a kick, its a silence so it doesnt work on CC imune mobs

red knoll
#

yeah

#

its good for what its useful for tho

#

which is grabbing shitters

trim plaza
#

giga good to get some rando caster close to u

azure ibex
#

Yeah its great. Grab casters the dps wont kick, or explode a shield on a mob

#

Its strong enough that it can be worth pressing just for DPS if you have to move away from the boss for any reason

trim plaza
#

hot take but the most recent ability they gave to Pwarr, shield charge is goated and makes so much sense for them

azure ibex
#

Not really a hot take shield charge is a beloved ability

#

I just wish it showed up correctly in logs

#

I'm glad they got rid of the nodes below it and just baked all that into the spell itself

#

Tips for seat? Just did a +12 and it went very smooth. But I feel like a LOT of damage was taken. Using the MDT addon and trying to find where these guys are taking so much damage

#

The heals are so cozy though

trim plaza
#

seat is one of the heaviest for tank

#

champions hurt like crazy and u cant let them charge to u

rustic kestrel
sweet pawn
trim plaza
#

there is these mobs called champions and they are really heavy for tanks cause their enrage buff, also if u are range, they will charge to u and leave a nasty bleed

#

u pretty much cant never kite them

red knoll
#

my favorite when the boomkin or shaman knocks them away

#

so fun

trim plaza
#

or i mean, u CANT kite

#

them

idle spindle
#

Are there any legit good tanking trinkets? Or is it all dmg?

red knoll
#

this raid comp

trim plaza

idle spindle
#

Most raids I’ve done I’m the only one

azure ibex
#

and plate to the dk/warr?

idle spindle
noble locust
trim plaza
#

everytime i go to raid, warlocks doesnt exist

azure ibex
#

oh

#

fair enough

red knoll
#

i just got 25 stacks on lura

#

x.x

azure ibex
#

Lucky priest then

red knoll
#

we just wiped

#

lmao

trim plaza
#

i still get ptsd from lfr dimensius

#

shit was rough

sweet pawn
# trim plaza ohh u mean ur group took dmg?

Ya, sorry. I was fine w/ the damage taken the entire time on myself. The bleeds didnt happen often so I didnt even register that. Is there a way to cut down on group? Just stand on chapions pretty much?

azure ibex
#

I mean, theres only so much you can do to help other people not take damage. Keep mobs together, interrupt things, dont pull like a maniac, make sure your healer has mana, etc etc

trim plaza
#

warden just hurts group, kinda impossible to dodge, also if riftstalker bleed overlaps

red knoll
azure ibex
#

Don't pull packs together that have multiple aoe damage events, etc

#

Otherwise, keep yourself alive and help kill shit and it'll work out

#

And pray your dps understand the value of a defensive

red knoll
#

those are the buttons you press after you hit 10% right

#

?

red knoll
#

we have wiped twice on lura to an evoker holding the crystal hovering into the void

#

.....

hazy mural
# sweet pawn Tips for seat? Just did a +12 and it went very smooth. But I feel like a LOT o...

Subjugators do a channel where they put a circle and slow and do big damage on people, any snare removal removes the circle... conjurers have an elemental next to em that does a lot of aoe damage whilst its up, when it dies they eventually try to summ another one... if u got a lock in the group, they can banish the elemental. The 4 big portal guys doe medium aoe damage then they do a big slower but nastier aoe damage. The Riftstalkers also bleed ppl for a lot. 2nd boss does big aoe when the circles pop and then when it does overload, its an aoe dot... also has the cat that bleeds random ppl... void infused destroyers put a circle on 2 ppl and it does big damage and a strong dot after. shadow weavers suck someone off for a few secs and that does a lot of dam, 3rd boss does a suck on 3 ppl and then summons tentacles that also sucks ppl till they die or hard cced, then he does an intermission where he closes up the room and does more aoe... last boss just does tons of aoe the more adds that are up and whomever gets the lines gets big damage when lines go off on em... That should be all the nasty damage bits of the dungeon

hey, heard something about a moonfire macro when playing Guardian? is that something that exists or so haha

red knoll
#

it exists

#

its not very good

#

or proper

lament blade
#

so aoe is just thrash and moonfire. is it the same on ST?

red knoll
#

rather

frosty flax
#

okii, any special macro for iron fur? or just click it on it normaly? 🙂

violet holly
#

no macro

cloud hinge
#

legit gonna take me a week to do this mage tower my god dsjfghskdjfghkjsdfg

#

I know why asmon slammed his head on his desk now

cloud hinge
#

violet holly
#

#

cloud hinge
#

I wish

violet holly
#

like practice one thing at a time

#

during krull practice avoiding the infernals frontals

#

practice insta mf the eyes

#

dodging the beams etc

#

kick on krull

#

start moving as he starts the jump thing

#

etc

azure ibex
#

Mage tower was designed to be a test of game sense, not a turbo pushover. Just practice and you'll get it in due time

cloud hinge
#

Well practicing it is hard when I only get there 1 in 20 pulls

novel fern
#

are they calling for bear nerfs

cloud hinge
#

and ive spent like 50k on this fight

violet holly
#

first guy is easy just need to not let the shit stack infinitely

novel fern
rustic kestrel
#

how have you spent 50k

#

what could you possibly be buying

violet holly
#

some random ass consumable from some list

lusty forum
#

100 drums :^)

novel fern
#

make sure u buy the knothide enchant for gloves +stamina

violet holly

#

Not really sure how much 25 main stat helps but

rustic kestrel

red knoll
copper hornet
#

Heck yea another bear 20 screenie has hit the chat

cloud hinge
#

I mean ive done this like 100 times at least. Its just not getting golemned off the edge

violet holly
#

make sure u understand what each mob do and how you have to counter it

#

and yeah dont use consumables if you are dying in p1

#

or like is confident you know how to do everything and is not getting randomly killed by something you dont expect

covert valley
#

violet holly
#

yes after the recent buffs bear stocks went up

red knoll
#

we gunna get nerfed

trim plaza
violet holly
#

because it allowed a stupid strong build to be viable

zealous nacelle
red knoll
zealous nacelle
#

in bear lol

red knoll
#

use mangle

violet holly
#

and because of that we are expecting nerfs at some point

red knoll
#

????

zealous nacelle
#

we're not using mangle tho tf.

red knoll
#

....

#

is bro ragebaiting

zealous nacelle
#

was literally told not to use it with this new build

green roost
red knoll
#

who told u that

zealous nacelle
#

all the guides lol

quaint pond
#

it's spell alert opacity or something in options

violet holly
#

and you should press mangle

red knoll
#

no guide should be telling you to not mangle when you have a gore proc

#

tf

violet holly
#

but is probably doing low enough keys that it doesn't matter anyway

zealous nacelle
#

sike

#

doing 15s

violet holly
#

but if you want to play better then you should

zealous nacelle
#

idk swear everone said waste of a gcd now

mortal perch
red knoll
#

anyone saying that is trolling

mortal perch
#

All razeless apexless

violet holly
#

its not a waste of a gcd, they are wrong

zealous nacelle
#

its back on my bar now lol

violet holly
#

even in a 15

red knoll
#

literally generates so much rage

#

like what

trim plaza
violet holly
#

you can be pressing maul even

#

dont need to spend all rage on ironfur

red knoll
green roost
#

bro on big keys you literally can t tank the bosses without rage gen from mangle, you need stacks of IF

Not quite a screenie but close enough. First time its been posted here actually

violet holly
#

yep

zealous nacelle
#

trim plaza
#

also not pressing mangle in single target atleast is like

#

zealous nacelle
#

I amy be dennted guys

violet holly
#

idk now that you know that you should be pressing

mortal perch
violet holly
#

its up to you to improve or not

zealous nacelle
#

I put it bnack n my bar lol

trim plaza
#

we have been saying for days for new bears that use mangle

zealous nacelle
#

I'm not even new, I just could have sworn the guides were saying waste of gcd in aoe

trim plaza

"BUT NAAH GOTTA MOONFIRE"

#

like cmon

watch watching awoo streams does to a mf

green roost

trim plaza
#

but more mangle->more rage->more incarn

mortal perch
#

So Guardian is gonna be nerfed again actual comedy. You get better balance in ChatGPT

green roost
#

Claude working overtime in order to get the balance right

mortal perch
#

We re looking at like 5 6 balance passes for guardian alone this season

trim plaza
#

who would have guessed we become immortal after 200% to trash

mortal perch
#

Like what are they doing

trim plaza
#

lol

violet holly
trim plaza
#

LOL

mortal perch
#

They re gonna have to cut like a third of it

#

Probably

trim plaza
#

200%->100% minimum

red knoll
#

did anyone check out the io scores

#

on the bears who did that

#

one was 1.7k AFTER timing a 20

#

lmfao

zealous nacelle
violet holly

#

3 fairly big bears and 2 small cubs

trim plaza
green roost
red knoll
violet holly
#

ah yeah, that is true

mortal perch
#

Yea 200 to 100 will prob have to happen

novel fern
red knoll
#

I think a lot changes if they just put the thrash buffs into the apex

#

but they wont do that

novel fern
#

they will probs nerf arcane leech and UFR

#

while keeping thrash aggro and some of the damage?

trim plaza
violet holly
#

they could have just buffed thrash initial dmg to 100%

red knoll
#

why would they nerf arcane leech

mortal perch
trim plaza
#

to nerf UF, thats straight slap to raze/ravage

red knoll
#

Too much burst was baked into apex

novel fern
trim plaza
#

the thing we need is revert these baseline raze nerfs and nerf this trash buff to 100% and we chillin

mortal perch
# red knoll ????

When raze combined with apex doea close to half your damage we have a problem

trim plaza
red knoll
#

????

#

No

violet holly
#

good thing now thrash and moonfire do 75% of our dmg then

red knoll
#

Raze should be a lot of your damage

#

lmao

#

its your spender

mortal perch
#

It s a shit spender

red knoll
#

....

#

Yeah it is now

novel fern
red knoll
#

because they nerfed it to shit

mortal perch
#

It always was

red knoll
#

okay buddy

#

your opinion

#

not the majority

violet holly
#

you can easily maintain ironfur and press raze

red knoll
#

Not every tank has to play the same

lament dock
red knoll
#

and you dont have to sacrifice much

#

Warrior does

#

SB costs rage

novel fern
trim plaza
#

u can always maintain 2-3 stacks of IF and still press raze for dmg and UF shield

red knoll
#

IP costs rage

#

like

trim plaza
red knoll
#

wat

lament dock
#

SB is a dps increase and MT doesn't deal damage with rage spenders

#

And Colossus doesn't use IP except to prevent overcapping rage

trim plaza
#

like we generate so muhc rage in aoe that u can always maintain 2-3-4 stacks of IF and still keep razing, in bosses u are fine with only 1

novel fern
trim plaza
#

adding to this, raze gives defensive also especially with apex

#

so ye

hazy mural
trim plaza
#

sadly it hits now like a wet paper because all random nerfs to it but it is what it is xd

red knoll
#

Yeah, you can time 23s as bear while being a dummy

#

its fine

trim plaza
#

DotC with apex slaps still tho

hazy mural
# violet holly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it is really werid I know... been going through a lot of logs tryna see the difference but there hasnt been any xD

#

the gain of more LB uptime been making it equal to playing around with mangle at the least

trim plaza
#

im just waiting how they are gonna fck up bear tuning next time

#

buff moonfire by 300%?

left whale
#

Yeah

#

just moonfire spam

red knoll
#

itll just be flat nerfs

trim plaza
#

or no i have better, swipe by 1000%

red knoll
#

mark my words

hazy mural
red knoll
#

flat nerfs no nuances

hazy mural
#

surely they get it right on the 99th time?

red knoll
#

theres no way they leave this for 2 months

#

no fucking shot

trim plaza
red knoll
#

after seeing 5 tanks time a 20?

#

no fucking way

hazy mural
trim plaza
#

they might give it 1 more week to see after tank buffs does anything happen

violet holly
trim plaza
violet holly
#

yeah

red knoll
#

yeah they might wait a week

#

but like

novel fern
#

they already saw the MDI bear pulls I'm sure

red knoll
#

theyre probably trying to figure out how to fix it

#

without breaking bear

#

but will just fucking end up nerfing everything

if no chances of wipes, would be soooo boring

just whomever made best route wins...

I remember seeing an 11 city of threads I think in MDI, that was boring

in tww season 1 I tried a couple 12s, got oneshot by anima slash, and quietly went prot war to just spell reflect it and spell block it

deft compass
#

guardian felt so good until u got past 10

#

felt like such a wall

trim plaza
#

and the funny part is they stated in tww start that they only nerf self heals cause they want healers to have more role in dungeons->proceeds to nerf all tank defensives and mitigation, ggs

hazy mural
#

ENJOY!

deft compass

soothe value in grim batol was awesome though

I liked it tbh... was way too much, but u got good quick if u learned to understand what killed u

It is a right, but it shouldnt do the same damage as raze builds

it never has, it was just comfy but it did also break my mouse side button from too many Ironfur spams

i would like to see them lean more into bleeds. i like bleeds.

#

High skill floor is not how i would describe this iteration of guardian 😛

#

And its the dps loss thats the problem

#

The dps you gain from having a tank over a healer is massively outweighed from losing the 3 dps

#

Lunar beam thrash invarn thrash reset thrash moonfire moonfire thrash moonfire moonfire thrash. Mouse wheel rotation

Then you nean low skill floor right

As in, easy to learn

High skill floor means hard to learn the basics of

5 bears is a classic

Hmm but isnt the "floor" (worst thing can do) very high?

It'd be very funny to be proven wrong, but I'm pretty sure no world first 5 bears keys are happening this season

novel fern

yes they don't do enough damage for that

copper hornet

Might get nerfed before they get the chance

You cant outpull the ST needed on bosses for example

Do you think it'll get nerfed?

in fellowship they did a speedrun of a dungeon with 2 tanks 2 healers by splitting up

Keep in mind 5 bear doesnt have a healer to tank group dps

u prob want some mangle in AOE still

but i guess in theory u can do the 2 button stuff and just always do that

does dungeon slice provide accurate results for bear?

Nice wowhead article about bears, hopefully that sends the nerf bat our way

Earliest they slide in quick hotfix next reset

Latest next patch

It didn't in SL or DF that I can remember

noble ledge
#

Is my guess

forest flume
#

who cares about what happened in SL and DF, thats 5 years ago

#

things have changed

sleek lintel
#

Not that much

forest flume
#

well, for one we have had completely new talent trees

sleek lintel
#

And the background is similar that the roadblock to keys is survival and not damage just like SL

forest flume
#

and they have been reacting faster to class balance, still too slow depending on who you ask ofc

#

let me cope in peace that they are gutting thrash damage tonight ty

sleek lintel
#

And +20 isn't a world record key for WRS anyways even

outer cave
#

doing 5 bears 3 key levels below the very top key levels should = automatic nerf imo

forest flume
#

well there's context

#

they have tried the key 13 times I think, so it was not just a walk in the park

worldly turtle
#

maybe someone knows but is it worth keeping up Iron fur for the 5% mastery over pressing raze I assume so right in raids for Lu'ra mythic more so

forest flume
#

But if it can anger healers who still play the "I'm playing the decoration role!" card that'll help

sleek lintel
forest flume
#

No, but we never had a 2 button tank doing what bear is doing right now

outer cave
#

dont think in any reason in tww any tanks did 5x 3 keys below top

#

bears are the most OP tank in M+ (given their rotation) ever imo

sleek lintel

SL was probably more OP

forest flume
#

???

theyre not more op than df right

how should i be pressing sundering roar? feel like without incarn im never getting 10 stacks, is that normal?

Blizzard will do what they see fit, but I feel like looking at the Design of multiple talents and our tierset, I am confident this is unintended gameplay loop in Blizzards eyes, especially for top performing tank on a +23 key

Lunar Calling has been redesigned: Thrash, Mangle and Maul now deal Arcane Damage ( 12% Thrash mod removed)

Lunation now reduces Lunar beam CD by 2sec every time you deal arcane damage, down from 3.

That would probably set them up for an aura nerf should the issues still persist.

5% parry buff during the cooldown where they already cant die but tbh its a good buff

Two double downs on the shittiest apex talent known to man that provides like zero throughput let alone agency behind it

And then a buff to the talent that everyone makes fun of because EHP :xdd:

its BETTER than a 5% armor buff
