cause boss/prio damage is important

still locust
#

There's been a huge influx of borderline obsession with getting LB as low CD as possible

#

And while it's okay and sometimes even good

#

It's HEAVILY overvalued over other rotational gains

daring nymph

#

Build confidence and dont scare my brother, u will rank up

#

and heres another 22 mc but with no apex

#

200+ mangles

still locust
#

Mangle is just insanely valuable for rage gen, which is more ironfur, which means you stay alive better against physical damage

#

I would mangle over a non-GG MF any day

#

On any target count

tall basin
#

ye and then check andys AA 22
he did 11k dps moreoverall and use mangle 11 times. and 436 trash casts. gnome did only 419 trash casts.
with you theory he should have more inc uptime and more trash casts
but gnome was 30:54 in it and andy 28:01 min. and gnome did less trash casts?

trim plaza

#

Can up that to 99% probably

#

I haven't watched any, but I get the feeling some streamer said "your top prio is to get LB as low CD as possible"

#

And people just didn't question it

daring nymph
#

this also requires onctext

#

because andys group is just insanely good

#

comparing runs 1 to 1 is just dumb dude

quick schooner
#

Also out of the bat as im preparing for some harder keys, is there any fuckin way to auto mark targets for interupts with addons or something? I'm playing with 1 friend so we are 2 to 3 with randoms, i will try to profile minicc to know where i can go big etc but other then rotational stuff i want to make as easy to manage as possible with pugs

we have hunters mark skull macro for our Hunter, and Focus macro's that assign moon and circle to kicks when assigning focus

daring nymph

with different teams

#

with different routes, different kill times

#

ect ect

lethal elbow
#

there's no "auto assign" style weak aura addon anymore though

daring nymph
#

i only pulled out my log to show you that its okay and kinda better to press mangle in the long run

still locust
#

I mean, it's not unreasonable that needing to press mangle for rage resulted in missed thrash casts, and it can still be the correct choice to do so

#

You can't see that from looking at a cast overview

daring nymph
#

and you can still time keys by pressing mangle

still locust
#

But for the majority of the time pressing mangle does not interfere with your thrash casts

#

Only MF casts

daring nymph
#

while increasing the smoothness of your rotation due to increased rage generation

bitter storm
#

For those that play both Feral and Guardian, how bad is the stat imbalance when swapping? Is it just a few pieces that I'd need something for either, or is it essentially a whole swap besides tier slots?

figured I'd ask here as well, just in case

still locust
still locust
#

We have people stacking vers, people stacking crit, people stacking haste and people stacking mastery

#

It just doesn't really matter that much

bitter storm
still locust
#

But in general optimal gear isn't that big of a difference for most specs

#

Like of course there's a gain

#

But it's like at most 10% difference in a sim usually

#

From worst to best stats

strong portal
still locust
#

And you probably don't have worst stats

still locust
daring nymph
#

its threat

#

kele i feel bad for you and catha and lakers

strong portal
#

thinking you need that for threat is crazy comms

trim plaza
#

AA firs tpull there is always 1 dps miss positioned and blasting mobs from narnia

daring nymph
#

i hope this spec stops being fotm

still locust
#

And that's probably the key lost, no?

trim plaza
#

And that pull is cooked if dps dies

still locust
#

And also prevents healer aggro

daring nymph
#

i hope you get nothing but ddh and rets in your groups now

bitter storm
still locust
#

And secondary stats are neat but shouldn't be your focus over ilvl, except maybe on jewelry

#

Quick question, as a new guardian druid what dungeon is it best to bonus roll knowing that I have 0 myth pieces so far?

trim plaza
quick schooner
#

Also, its my not my route or something but i almost fucked this 17 i timed. Could some1 look it up and tell me what the less riskiest pull there i should add? My party mid key decide to skip the bridge pack after 2nd boss and i've lost cvount and i dont want to do this mistake ever when i will go for 18 or 19 of AA https://keystone.guru/route/algethar-academy/VdXCcJV/algethar-academy-temporary-route/edit/4

Yeah should be fine then

ionic rune
#

I was thinking of bonus rolling seat so I get all the pieces and no duplicates. did anyone go with that strategy as well?

trim plaza
still locust
#

Yeah but crit is more KMs

#

More KMs more good

stiff phoenix
#

I know the answer is normally sim but just a quesiton around haste. What % is bis roughly or feels good?

still locust
#

Well you have the answer to the first question

#

Feels good is entirely personal

#

I'm fine to play with 0 haste for example

stiff phoenix
#

Maybe, is most effective/optimal is better question?

still locust
#

Well that's a sim question

#

Can't really give you a number to aim for

#

It depends on for example your build and even what trinkets you're running

daring nymph
#

anywho

#

imma do some sleepy keys, remember to press mangle

Good morning folks. Quick question.

I am playing druid bear tank, Elunes Chosen build.

I am struggling quite a bit in Skyreach +17 key, the platform right before the 1st boss, where there are 3 packs together.

I am using bark and iron fur spam, but they still seems to nuke me. Incarn is not available as it's CD after clearing the first few packs + 2 ravens.

I have no issues surviving other 17s keys, ilvl 278. Any suggestions?

tall basin
cinder nacelle
#

And you'll get 2 acceptable trinkets which really is all you need to think about trinket wise

tall basin
#

adept of the dawn cast fiery talon.
this stacks...
after 10 stacks it deals alot of dmg.
you can reset this easy moving backwards, stuns, knockbacks

#

ah before boss

#

my bad

trim plaza
#

Those elemental mobs does magic dmg with melees so IF doesnt help with them

#

Also the tank buster of blade talon is magic dmg too

agile portal
#

This platform

trim plaza
#

Yes

#

Those smallies left side

#

Elementals

trim plaza
#

Does magic dmg melees to u so ironfur doesnt help, also bladetalon buster is magic dmg, but u should have walls ready for this pull cause first pull u are pretty much fine with only incarn

agile portal
#

Blade rush of blade talon is lethal... I cannot survive it when it is x3 in 2 seconds.

#

Walls? What do you mean?

trim plaza
#

Survival instict

#

Big defensive, they are often called "wall" xd

trim plaza
#

Also pretty sure that pulls has enrage mobs with crazy attack speed

stiff phoenix
#

A lot of lingo is from early classes ability names

Wall - warrior shield wall
Lust - horde shaman bloodlust
Kick - rogue int

trim plaza
#

With first pull u survive with only barskin and incarn,u should save all defensives into that next pull before 1st boss

#

Sure u can always split it if u wanna play that pull safe

tall basin
trim plaza
#

Well that works too, abit coinflippy tho

tall basin
#

aye.
for next pull you will have 2x walls + skin + luna up + you can typhoon them and outrun them or use vortex. only bladetalon will follow you.

ye i know meeles hate typhoon. but they hate a dead tank more XD

hidden bone
#

is the apexless build still viable after the nerf?

tall basin
hidden bone
#

Yippee

trim plaza
#

And the most viable build is the one u are most confident with

hidden bone
#

thats true, thank you 😄

sharp kiln
#

Why are we taking convoke > Incarn in the EC Raid build currently?

agile portal
#

Thanks folks, very much appreciated.

My mains are Pally Prot and Brew Monk, so a couple of days ago I levelled up a Dudu from level 1 char to key +17. Still no idea what I am doing tbh.

Weirdly, it's just Skyreach that caused me issues so far 🤣

stiff phoenix
#

Aren’t the top keys being done with apexless or am I tripping

stiff phoenix
lucid arrow
#

ofc you use FR

#

i precast that mf on pull with the shield talent

#

but you use the incarn no cd FR and save 1-2 stacks for that next pull

stiff phoenix
#

Idk the way it was worded made me question it, ty

patent bramble
#

is it bad to cake ur iron fur into thrash and moonfire?

still locust
trim plaza
still locust
#

Frenzied regen is not considered a defensive

#

It's a rotational self-heal tool

#

With a very short CD

still locust
stiff phoenix
#

Yeah I get you, it’s a healing button not preventing damage. Like WoG for pala

sharp kiln
olive compass
still locust
#

So the CD sequence on pull could be

Start cat
Lunar beam
HOTW
Berserk+WiGu to enter bear form and CDs
Convoke
Red Moon if you didn't get it from Convoke, continue with normal rotation if you did until red moon is in the pandemic window

#

If you do get red moon from convoke, it gets a bit more difficult because that means your lunar beam and red moon "desync" from the normal 30 second timer

#

This is also only a build you would play in raid on fights where you want to use red moon (meaning twin moons is less value)

#

If you can play twin moons on any given fight, I would just play that instead since it's a less confusing rotation

#

Convoke is still an option for that build though, since EC doesn't actually care about incarn but only cares about the talent point after which reduces the cooldown of berserk regardless of if you have incarn or not

#

And without redmoon you just play lunar beam on a 30 second timer, convoke on a 60 second timer and berserk on a 120 second timer, lining them up when you can

sharp kiln
#

Yeah okay, Im pickinmg up what you're putting down.

#

Makes sense

#

Love rng dmg haha

stiff phoenix
#

Baby brained too

round niche
#

out of the no apex stuff on dream, is there a steady go-to if im only going to be doing up to 15s for a bit?

still locust
#

Not really, they're all similar enough that it comes down to your thematics/playstyle preference

summer hatch
#

how does one live adepts in skyreach

still locust
#

That the 2 second bleed mobs?

summer hatch
#

those dont even hurt brew usually

#

ye

#

do i have to perma kite

#

like resetting every 10stacksish

still locust
#

Any short CC and a brisk walk 3 steps away is enough to reset stacks

summer hatch
#

gulp

#

ok

still locust
#

It feels worse than it is, the debuff is only like 2 seconds long so you can easily reset whenever you feel in danger

#

Well preferably before you're in danger

#

But

summer hatch
#

eh the pulls after third boss feel sketch resetting

#

cause theres so little space as is

unborn dock
summer hatch

ya just feels bad

gucci, ty

#

anytime u have 2 of em, thats the real danger, 1 is ok but 2 just stack up super fast even with the resets u do

white sentinel
#

I'm only pushing 14s so I may be wrong but folks talk about tank anxiety and healer anxiety because if you mess up you brick the key. Although at a certain level of play isn't it if anyone messes up the key is rekt?

summer hatch
#

not really

#

you can time title keys with a wipe or two

#

and a lot of silliness

olive compass
#

actual fuckass mob design

olive compass
summer hatch
#

you can def time a 20 with a wipe

olive compass
summer hatch
#

uhhh idk then gg

#

last i checked it was like mixed

#

its resil 20 and like a single 2`1

#

2 21s ig

#

on na

#

unlucky

olive compass
#

i can guarantee that right now unless you have an actual team of people pushing 22s-23s, your key is absolutely over if you have a party wipe in every key except maybe pit

#

fuck in AA if you get 2-3 random deaths key might be over already

with EC hero talents our thrash is magic dmg and get buffed by dh instead of monk? also thrash stacks?

and then even tho timer was chill the dh went full tilt mode and stopped playing

which is the worst dps mechanic to fail

just failing mental cus someone dies on a 18 when it's easily timeable

it happens in every key range

cus that shit was timeable even tho hunter fkd up

u rng into a good group, collect ur rating, gg

lucid arrow

but this dh decides when he decrees the key is not timeable then it's not timeable

hazy mural
#

could have 99 mins left on timer and they will say, guys its gg

summer hatch
#

i mean

#

tank io is pretty fake too

#

v easy to get boosted as bear at least

hazy mural
#

depends what lvl

this class requires basically no thinking i cant lie

#

tanking is more about dungeon knowledge

summer hatch
#

actually go from using too many braincells as brew and dying to like 3 champions to just living infinite champions on bear

#

spec is so silly

as someone who picked up tanking and m+ for the first time

#

and who's basically resil 21

tanking is boosted af

We got a cap for how much haste we want?

currently doing resil 21

olive compass
#

until you hit the very high keys where your dps become the boosted ones

summer hatch
#

yes

#

dps is easily the hardest role

#

then healer then tank

#

to play perfect

olive compass
#

healing is harder than dps

#

by a lot

summer hatch
#

uhhhh

#

to play perfect?

#

idk about that

lucid arrow
#

keep in mind not all tanks are the same

olive compass
#

check how many good healers there are compared to dps

summer hatch
#

maybe i haven't healed to title

lucid arrow
#

some tanks have to actually time defensives well

tall drift
summer hatch
#

i think thats bias tho

lucid arrow
#

and can't just bear keyboard mash to 3600

summer hatch
#

as in more people play dps

olive compass
hazy mural
summer hatch
#

idk if ppala can mash to 3600

#

vdh can bear can brew can prot war can

lucid arrow
#

ppala cannot mash to 3600

fiery jolt
#

which build should I choose for M+ from the link above?

summer hatch
#

thats like the only tank tho

lucid arrow
#

ppala around 15 keys you're in mortal danger if you don't time defensives well

olive compass
#

im sure with 290 it can

#

very easily

summer hatch
#

i doubt

hazy mural
summer hatch
#

ya healing is a pass fail

hazy mural
#

can be easiest or hardest depending on ur group

summer hatch
#

theres def right/wrong with dps

#

but i also have not healed very high

#

so i couldn't tell u

#

tanking is def boosted tho thats not an argument

hazy mural
summer hatch
#

wdym

#

u live or u dont

hazy mural
#

u can have a situation where ur the best healer and ppl die

#

or the worst healer and ppl live

#

because ppl used defensives well or not

summer hatch
#

i mean ya but that’s not ur fault then

#

yeah

#

like healing in a vacuum is a pass fail

#

can’t do anything abt others

hazy mural
#

im just saying its the least black and white

tall drift
hazy mural
#

cause a good group helps u so much u dont even have a pass/fail

#

like in pit, if ppl curse dispel, u hardly have anything to heal

tall drift
hazy mural
#

just sit there doing damage

lucid arrow
#

heal difficulty is largely dictated by grps ability to use their defensives

summer hatch
#

i mean idk if ur bricking 12-14s like

#

consistently

#

that might not just be a group issue

tall drift
summer hatch
#

some, sure but most/all?

hazy mural
#

1st boss, if ppl freedom the debuff, its easy af and ppl defensive the stomp etc...

summer hatch
#

ya but like in real keys if you dont you die

hazy mural
summer hatch
#

in lower keys its just a healer issue

hazy mural
#

but when they do, I just parse dps

summer hatch
#

so the problems kinda solve themselves if u just push higher

lucid arrow
#

nah the problem just becomes they die

hazy mural
tall drift

#

but I have a meme I like to spam a lot

but

its just a fact

if they wont do that simple mechanic right, then its already a lost cause

if theres something u can do to make the key timeable

then u do it

its a 14

the rest is their own issue

its a game

it's just that if you're trying to improve there's literally only one thing you can affect and it's yourself

summer hatch
#

im not blaming you

olive compass
summer hatch
#

people play at diff skill levels

#

but in a 14 if u wanan go higher

olive compass
#

its a team game if you're playing with an actual team where you're coordinated

summer hatch
#

its very easy to just brute force the key

#

if u cannot brute force a 14 u cannot heal something much higher

olive compass
#

but the second you queue into keys, it's a solo game where you try to do what YOU can and do with what LFG has given you

summer hatch
#

etc

as in ur not the 1 person who will get the key timed

everyone needs to participate

even if everyone is failing every single mechanic and slobbering on their keyboards, and you're playing at 99% efficiency, it's not like you can take your teammates to a mental institution. you can only improve your 1%

if u contribute more

#

sure

hazy mural

and if 1 guy isnt participating enough and they wanna blame u for it, then thats not gonna sit well

u do as much as u can

if thats not enough

tall drift

it is what it is

#

i guarantee bricking a 14 is not doing as much as one can tho

like

#

consistently bricking 14s

hazy mural

if they dont go in the ice, then its 100 pct their fault, none on healer there

summer hatch
#

an occasional one sure

#

sure, but healer CAN save them

hazy mural

if u save em, thats great

tall drift

we still have 2+ months to go and more power to come from .7

#

so u can see the proper parse

left lantern
#

a blue-ish parse is already more than decent for a dps if you actually care about it

hazy mural
#

and it is sad

lucid arrow
#

how many dungeon runs would u guys say it took u on avg to time 18-19?

#

per dung

olive compass
#

that was like a month ago

#

sub 280 ilvl

#

so i'd say

tall drift
olive compass
#

2-3 runs on average

hazy mural
olive compass
#

one banged a lot of keys and took like 5-10 for AA/SEAT

hazy mural
#

and it seems crazy to have a sea of grey

lucid arrow
#

cus I'm moving slow but i wanna see if it's a me skill issue or just not doing enough dungeons

olive compass
#

now i one banged resil 20 on my bear after 1 day of playing it because of gear inflation

lucid arrow
#

i prolly do one or two a day at most

#

of the next lvl

left lantern
#

grey is a skill issue of some sort, anything above that is legit irrelevant

olive compass
#

some days you'll time nothing others you'll one bang most

left lantern
#

even greens can have so many different things impacting it that arent even in your hands as dps, why bother with it

summer hatch
#

lowkey there’s a lot of shitters at that level

#

now

#

if ur behind curve it’s exponentially harder to come up

olive compass
#

yea

summer hatch
#

and making friends is huge

olive compass
#

when you're in/ahead of the curve its nice because you play with people that match your skill level assuming you didnt get lucky and are that good

summer hatch
#

being social is easy io

disc is a fine healer

olive compass
summer hatch
#

eh it’s kinda not really fotm even anymore

mw takes 2 brain cells and bear takes 1

Or just someone who has swapped specs after doing 20s on a shadow priest

olive compass
#

you really overestimate people who are doing keys in that range

lucid arrow
#

one class being easier than the other is a pretty valid reason to prefer it imo as an inviter

olive compass
#

yea

#

phys comp is op because its giga easy to play

summer hatch
#

like why take frost mage if an unholy exists in queue

#

literal 3 buttons

olive compass
#

you dont get punished nearly as hard for having deaths etc

lucid arrow
#

frost mage

#

you mean death mage?

olive compass
summer hatch
#

kek

#

yes

#

and u live

hazy mural
#

damage solves all issues

#

especially deaths

olive compass
#

yea

summer hatch
#

kill mobs before mobs kill u

#

ez

olive compass
#

it also helps you get away with being bad

tall drift
olive compass
#

bad uh > bad mage

summer hatch
#

good mage = bad uh

hazy mural
#

mage gotta press defs

tall drift
hazy mural
#

UH is the def KEKW

left lantern
#

disc is just terrible rn

hazy mural
summer hatch
#

uh lives first boss sr frontal for free

left lantern
#

in shambles since shadowlands s3-4

summer hatch
#

disc isn’t terrible i think

#

idk much abt it tho

#

i hear smth smth shadowmend end

tall drift
summer hatch
#

rng

trim plaza
#

I had disc asking for mana in 18 whole run, that was last time disc was invited to my keys

left lantern
#

it legit is

#

its the only healer that actually has mana issues rn

#

on top of just being meh at best

hazy mural
#

thing is, holy is sleeper good, not as good as MW... no where near, but its as good as sham

lucid arrow
#

there are some specs that for some reason have crazy utility for the grp that no other class has

summer hatch
#

rdruid 💀

hazy mural
#

if u play it right

lucid arrow
#

looking at dk and evoker

tall drift
left lantern
#

it does nothing well or better than other healers rn, it is squishier than legit all other healers and it has mana issues KEKW

tall drift
#

People underestimate how expensive void shield is to actually cast

hazy mural
#

but why play holy when u can COGGERS

lucid arrow
#

dk comes with magic soak, group wide magic dmg reduction, grips and huge dps

#

meanwhile frost mage comes with +death counter

summer hatch
#

woah

#

boss damage!

#

frost does marginally more!

#

just ignore overall

trim plaza
#

Tbh i dont mind mage being bad, they had good fun for 20years, let them suffer

invite a priest to ur seat and timer gets better by a min!

MC tech on 1st boss just to do MW baseline dps KEKL

summer hatch

🙁

summer hatch
#

mw does like 30k st there i think

hazy mural
#

holy can do like 20-30k dps there too

summer hatch
#

holy…

trim plaza
hazy mural
#

holy needs good players for it to do damage

#

or else gotta babysit too much with flash heals

#

MW just punch kick COGGERS and gg

summer hatch
olive compass
#

just bricked sky 21 because my 3 dps and my healer literally died to every single pack and boss randomly to not pressing cds

is it only me but last 2-3 days, every devourer who has been in my 19/20 keys does absolute negative dmg

olive compass

you'll get used to it

also its probably the spec where the route matters the most

hazy mural
olive compass

fuck man idk if this is the best or worst comp in the world for that key

hazy mural

why isnt he 2nd on screen?

olive compass

idk

#

hmmmm cant see it... maybe was dreaming it and its just an addon version xD

I remember always having to make tank lead but thats when I was healing so I was always 1st or 2nd

Hello does anyone know if Hibernate can be used instead of Paralysis at the end of Academy for the patrol casters to play them 1 by 1 on boss? Will the mob actually come after? Sometimes our group doesn't have a monk so trying to find a good way of doing that. Thank you for any info! ❤️

clear lark

Hmm 2x roots is 40 like Hibernate so I guess that could be fine

TEAM!

I need a working focus target macro with target marking.

preferably one marks with mouseover because mine doesnt target mark, but does the focus part

brazen tinsel
#

i recommend you to get the FocusMarker Assistant addon; you can easily change your mark there and it will announce your kick marker on readycheck

subtle cypress
#

Interesting, I'll get it, thanks for the suggestion

olive compass
#

like during a pull*

brazen tinsel
#

it just creates and changes the macro for you with one click + the announcement thingie which is useful for pugs

#

you still have to focus the mob yourself

#

addons cant do that

subtle cypress
#

This one works great

Can someone recommend some good bear nopex video guides? I saw awoos, that was great. any others?

hello guys, im new to bear druid, is there a way to disable the gore proc visusal from my screen? it keeps blocking my vision. thanks in advance

rustic kestrel

Note this also hides your GG procs, and your tier procs, and will turn off similar types of procs on all of your toons without an addon

Is it too hard to get fel bear ?

thats completely subjective

its still easier than shadowlands release

Hey question, is double moon firing a pack from far away usually generate enough threat for the mobs to walk towards me and not anyone else?

still locust
#

That really really depends on what else is happening

trim plaza
#

if dps doesnt touch them, yes

#

also to note healer hots rips aggro from u with only moonfire

tall drift
stiff phoenix
#

If I can get it anyone can

long barn
fallen robin
#

You only grab aggro on the two mobs that take damage

#

So if you have a healer/DPS pressing buttons they will get aggro off you quickly.

cold ocean
#

Try to position yourself so you can thrash when they get near

long barn
forest flume
#

you have incarn rolling when key starts and that means a very low thrash CD, you can pull all 3 packs quite fast running into them and thrash'ing

rustic kestrel
#

Especially for pulls like first pull of seat you should be using moonkin hotw

#

issue is instantly fixed

forest flume
#

but then you're in moonkin form for one second

#

sadness

rustic kestrel
#

you do it as the key starts

#

oh nvm i get it

forest flume
#

yes

hazy mural
#

I want a dungeon where everyone is a moonkin

#

so we can kill em all

long barn
hazy mural
#

200 pct route every time

rustic kestrel
#

no macro

tall drift
lucid arrow
#

you can macro it, i have a macro that does cat -> hotw -> bear

#

can just make it one macro and hve a modifier to do cat hotw otherwise moonkin hotw

#

tho moonkin hotw isnt required and not often taken in higher keys

#

but sometimes you get adhd DH in lower keys and you need it so they dont instantly blast and die

Is Mythic Raid prog harder as Tank than a DPS?
I know this is a subjective question but I'd like to be part of a Guild for Mythic Raid for the first time

trim plaza
#

tanking a raid is free as f

forest flume
#

In general it's easier to get into a guild as DPS, and transition to tank - not a lot of mythic guilds are recruiting tanks

trim plaza
#

its like being on a vacation after doing keys

lucid arrow
#

ye recruitment is the hardest part

half surge
lucid arrow
#

tank is a binary thing, you will wipe the grp until you learn the mechanics

rustic kestrel
#

If you aren't raiding ce within the first few weeks, then the hardest part about raid tanking is staying awake most of the time

lucid arrow
#

and then when you know them they're simple

noble ledge
#

📝 🐛

lucid arrow
#

tho keep in mind any guild looking for a mythic tank rn is extremely sus

lucid arrow
#

bc rosters are filled start of season and 2 tank slots very rarely change

rustic kestrel
#

Its end of tier farm for a lot of guilds atm, its perfect time to look for new recruits

half surge
lucid arrow
#

best case the current tank conveniently has to stop raiding due to RL or wants to go dps

half surge
#

and... means something might be sus yeah...

forest flume
#

"You guys suck at damage, let me show you how it works"

#

2 weeks later: Alright I'm going back to tank

half surge
#

i mean... tank is not hard

#

its... overwhelming to ur mind

#

esp when u see ppl do mechanics wrong

#

or try to overcomplicate SIMPLE mechanics

trim plaza
half surge
lucid arrow
#

tank spots are hard to gain/lose in general so ya at this point

half surge
#

but when u expect to progress

forest flume
#

the trick I found to not fall asleep while tanking for my previous CE guild, was to be the raid leader / gm / everything guy - no time to fall asleep

half surge
#

and u can do nothing about ur guild

#

cuz u are just humble tank

#

u cannot solo the boss

trim plaza
#

tbh im just "progging" raids for loot, CE is like second thought lol

half surge
#

paladins good example

#

and executes here

#

our guild tried the tech with marks and to put soaks on same ish spots

#

which made mechanic harder...

#

i tried to convince them in opposite that we dont need to send ppl in exact marks, just spread accordingly

#

they understood it after 1 day of wipes...

#

u can imagine my face ye?

#

(btw literally, cuz i was there as bear)

#

worst in raids is

#

when RL/other RL friends

#

try to convince ppl for mechanic that overcomplicates it

#

and dont care that they are not liquid or methods, they are casual dad gamers (or else) that do casual 2 raid days per week

olive compass
#

im about to lose it

#

4th wipe in SEAT 21

#

key is resil but i dont know how long the group will hold 💀

lucid arrow
#

i mean..

#

i was doing resi 18 for 3-4 hours the other day

#

seat

forest flume
#

Seat is my group's weakness, it seems everyone gets hungry for good old void balls on 3rd boss

half surge
#

ppl get tired at the moment 3rd boss happens

lucid arrow
#

ye 3rd boss void balls someone always eats it

forest flume
#

we got into the 3rd boss area with 14 minutes left on 19, and then badumtss

lucid arrow
#

1-2 people dying to orbs is a staple

#

i always expect it

forest flume
#

the fun thing is if we swap roles because we play w/e, and I go dps, I will also eat orbs

#

so we are just cursed

olive compass
#

bad*

#

sorry brotato

#

someone has to tell you

forest flume
#

damn

trim plaza
#

hot take, seat 3rd hardest boss this season

no way

there are no burn centers near me IRL

that takes colder than the north pole

forest flume
lucid arrow
#

cold take seat hardest dung

forest flume
#

that's only 3rd boss, rest is pretty ezpz no?

lucid arrow
#

in general it seems the most difficult to me at higher keys

#

1st boss is also not easy

#

2nd is ezpz

trim plaza
#

overall it might be hardest, AA is just hard cause of tight assss timer

forest flume
#

bringing a warlock to seat reduces the overall difficulty by a metric ton too

half surge
#

how bad this pull is...

trim plaza
lucid arrow
#

what is this suicide pull

#

collect life insurance ahh pull

half surge
#

its either i do pull7 above

trim plaza

thats the "if we brick the key, we do it with style" pull

or add pull 8

ive never seen a route go do 8

if i press the kick charge

is it to skip the 2 before 3rd boss?

either these 2

#

or the pull8

lock skip?

half surge
trim plaza

like doing 2x destroyers in high key is giga hard

rustic kestrel
#

You can skip with Lock/Aug/Warrior/DH

half surge
#

im just kinda lost

trim plaza

or atleast it makes healer hate u

half surge
#

where to get count

#

if skip 8 pull

u either make other pulls harder

e

half surge

#

subjugator+champion pack before walking into 2nd boss room

#

hits tank kinda hard but without adept its fine

trim plaza

no

or i mean yes those three from left

left lantern
trim plaza
#

but left pack close to it

rustic kestrel
#

bro is there a magnet in your head looking for the deadliest combos

half surge
#

this pack is worse than subjugator

#

due to elemental...

left lantern
#

1 banish

just cc it

simple as f

and done

half surge
#

banish huh... wish every class had banish

it also dies fast

trim plaza

#

and the elemental dosent start hurting straight away

left lantern
#

subjugator packs arent even bad, they give good count and are relatively easy to play aside from the heal absorb Shrugeg

half surge
hazy mural
#

it does a debuff 1st, and then has light aoe

half surge
#

we push as 3

hazy mural
#

then it does the sharp big aoe hits

trim plaza
#

well then just invite one

#

xd

half surge
#

makes sense

#

anyway still need to tinker the route

trim plaza
#

idk, i just dont pull a single adept

#

fck those

half surge
#

what about this...

trim plaza
#

expect the 1 patrol

hazy mural
half surge
#

subjugator+adept

trim plaza
half surge

but other than that its tank pull and nothing to worry about

we were messing around trying to find ways to skip thre last 2 destroyers, and on M0 you can get knocked over the wall

left lantern
# lucid arrow r8 my route

1st area could be 2 pulls and then packs with bosses instead of 3 pulls

no recovery pull between 7 and 8 just means 2 very rough pulls b2b for healers + elemental and riftwarden together is very sus

pull 12 sus
