i have a semi team but i also pug

daring nymph
#

I pray bear gets nuked

trim plaza
#

This, hard this

lucid arrow
#

bro you are way too attached to your spec being your entire personality

#

if people playing it first time cus its good and easy

odd cave
#

to prove that claim is actually rocket science though, if you are gonng claim mangle > moonfire there needs to be math to be back it up

lucid arrow
#

makes you wish it was 'nuked

shut jasper
#

the point is the gain in beam uptime is much much higher than the gain in incarn uptime and that makes it generally better, but sometimes the later is still preferable if you need it for a specific pull

lucid arrow
#

so people can GET OFF MY SPEC

daring nymph
#

And like

still locust
daring nymph
#

I play vdh, bear, and paladin

#

So

lucid arrow
#

blame blizz

lucid arrow
#

for making obvious fotm choices

daring nymph
#

There is also

still locust
#

Some people hyperfixate on being THE BEST SPEC IN THE GAME WHY NERF US WHEN WE'RE JUST OVERPOWERED???

daring nymph
#

Log reviews showing its usefulness

sudden peak
#

god

#

I remember bear going into midnight

lucid arrow
#

and log reviews showing also its not usefulness

#

so which one

#

of the two

#

is correct?

sudden peak
#

literally doing more dps than dps

#

and people said bear was unplayable when they got the (needed) nerf

lucid arrow
#

maybe you can say both, but if you're saying mangle only is correct you need some other data

still locust
#

And we're still a top tank

daring nymph
sudden peak
daring nymph
#

Cause it’s being casted when mobs are about to die

sudden peak
#

I remember needing to like talk peeople off the ledge

#

over the nerfs

lucid arrow
#

Cause it’s being casted when mobs are about to die

daring nymph
#

And there being a span of nothing being pulled so beam was being wasted

#

Okay

trim plaza
daring nymph
#

So

still locust
#

Instead of throwing a bad argument

daring nymph
#

Do not play

trim plaza
#

F

still locust
#

"it goes both ways" only works when it ACTUALLY goes both ways

lucid arrow
#

there is no proof, i made it up

trim plaza
#

Then im not gearing vdh

still locust
daring nymph
still locust
#

I know

daring nymph
#

I didn’t make my claim up

sudden peak
daring nymph
#

We’ve just discussed logs

still locust
#

It's funny

shut jasper
#

there's similar wasted beam uptime on the logs with less casts

sudden peak
#

vdh actually fun

trim plaza
shut jasper
#

it's a very stupid argument

still locust
#

You're slamming us for being "too attached to their playstyle"

lucid arrow
#

i fail to see how beam uptime is wasted but incarn isnt

daring nymph
#

:) showing useless lunar beam uptime

still locust
#

But then you're doing this

sudden peak
#

but also feels bad cuz if you dont get a decent proc you might be deadge

daring nymph
#

No no I get it

#

This version of vdh is def less fun than tww or df

#

Felscarred slapped

sudden peak
#

bro I miss shadowlands vdh

daring nymph
#

Anni slaps but not in the same way

sudden peak
#

dont @ me

trim plaza
daring nymph
#

Ya I see the dislike

#

But ngl

#

Getting 3 meteor windows on a brand

sudden peak
daring nymph
#

Feels so fucking good

trim plaza
#

Tww aldrachi was so goated

sudden peak
#

bc u get max stacks voidfall

shut jasper
#

being forced to overlap your 2 defensives for damage

#

is yucky

sudden peak
#

its gross

#

they need to just like

#

remove the damage amp from fiery brand or smth

daring nymph
#

It’s not like that’s new for vdh

trim plaza
#

Aldrachi had so much prio dmg as tank

sudden peak
#

and bake it into meta

#

idk

daring nymph
#

That was always its fantasy

shut jasper
#

it's not new but it's still kinda shitty design

daring nymph
#

Idk I find it okay

#

But it’s not for everyone and that’s fine

#

Being hyper aggressive cause most of your dr/ sustain kit comes from being aggressive and trying to shit out as much damage as possible

#

Is pretty neat

shut jasper
#

I'd say I much preferred alrachi but even then

trim plaza
#

Also immoaura doing 0 dmg for the millionth season for vdh is so bad

shut jasper
#

without s2 tier set for the resets vdh aldrachi always felt worse than havoc aldrachi (rip)

sudden peak
daring nymph
#

Nah fel dev shitty button now

sudden peak
#

spam fel dev immo aura and spiritbomb

daring nymph
#

Sof also shitty button now

#

Which sucks

sudden peak
#

dude the butcher to fel dev is like

#

the worst thing thats ever happened

daring nymph
#

I understand why they did it but like

sudden peak
#

i dont even wanna press it

daring nymph
#

Nah

shut jasper
#

why did they remove the meta from fel dev

#

is what I don't get

daring nymph
#

Gotta make fel dev do a ton of damage and make it interact with both hero trees

sudden peak
#

idk maybe meta uptime would be too high

daring nymph
sudden peak
#

idfk

shut jasper
#

keep both smh

sudden peak
#

vdh is my 2nd fav tank after blood

daring nymph
#

I miss felscarred

sudden peak
#

and its just so sad in its current state

#

i still play it tho

daring nymph
#

Vdh should have kept felscarred and reaver

shut jasper
#

I used to love vdh in legion but never liked it that much since

daring nymph
#

Havoc should have lost reaver cause fuck soul tracking on havoc

trim plaza
#

Tbh who the f asked for a void theme dh in the first place

sudden peak
#

idk man

#

i want another tank spec

daring nymph
#

I mean people asked for a third range spec on dh for awhile

#

Making void doesn’t really matter to much

high path
merry quest
#

Give

#

Now

daring nymph
#

Tho they kinda make it sucky

sudden peak
#

IM DOWN

daring nymph
#

Story wise

sudden peak
#

Literally any new tank man Im STARVED

merry quest
#

Sorry, my warden shaman sense tingled

high path
merry quest
#

Imma go back to work now

high path
daring nymph
#

Instead of you devouring a void monster like normal dh do with demons

#

You just eat void

#

Yay

#

Even tho we’ve seen a fel corrupted void beast in wod

#

Granted midnight isn’t my highlight for story

#

Ngl

sudden peak
#

9 years since new tank goes hard

#

thats a good name

merry quest
#

Closer to 10 now I think

#

Need to check

sudden peak
#

whenever legion came out

trim plaza
#

Legion was 2016

sudden peak
#

think it was 2016

merry quest
#

Ye

daring nymph
#

Shadowlands> Xalatoes saga in terms of story

merry quest
#

What month?

trim plaza
#

No idea

#

I just remember the year

daring nymph
#

November I think

merry quest
#

Ye, so bit to go before I update

still locust
merry quest
#

We Gucci

sudden peak
#

👀

#

Its almost time

merry quest
#

Oh shit son

still locust
#

And DH came in pre-patch

daring nymph
#

Fuck man

#

Should have made aug a tank

trim plaza
#

^

sudden peak
still locust
trim plaza
#

Nvm i change my statement, who the f asked for a support spec

daring nymph
#

A lot of people actually

#

Like a metric shit ton

sudden peak
#

tbf what was the gap between monk and evoker

#

it probably was also 10 years or smth

daring nymph
#

Sadly Aug could have been great

sudden peak
#

maybe more

daring nymph
#

Wow could have shaken the game

#

But nope

trim plaza
shut jasper
#

honestly think aug in it's current state is pretty neat, but we do definitely need another tank

daring nymph
#

Exactly

#

Should have added more support specs than just aug

#

And make a 4th role

shut jasper
#

as it works currently it's just a dps that functions differently

still locust
#

Aug got changed to be much less of a support spec

lucid arrow
#

just make shaman tank

still locust
#

Which helps

lucid arrow
#

its overdue

shut jasper
#

as the extra utility got taken out back

still locust
#

Well I mean

daring nymph
#

Honestly

shut jasper
#

the armor talent being completely useless for example

still locust
#

With the new apex

daring nymph
#

Tinker

still locust
#

Aug has CC out the ass again

shut jasper
#

true

trim plaza
#

Idk aug perma knocking adds is broken as hell

still locust
# daring nymph Tinker

Engineering being a thing prevents this, and they don't want to kill engineering despite it not actually being useful anymore

daring nymph
#

Add tinkerer in the game

still locust
#

Although

#

They did add bows to inscription now

#

So maybe there's a chance they murder engineering

shut jasper
#

but they don't have the shield from rescue or strong scales anymore

daring nymph
#

Yet they put chemistry or whatever in a survey

lucid arrow
#

i dont see why engineering and tinker compete

still locust
daring nymph
#

Which competes with alchemy

trim plaza
hazy mural
#

btw this dosent mean more incarn, cause u dont always press incarn on cd, more mangle more r age for IF for sure, but I think the incarn thing is overestimated tbh

trim plaza
#

Dont respawn it heals

#

Its over

lucid arrow
#

they're thematically similar but obviously it doesn't make engi useless

trim plaza
#

Let it be over

still locust
#

Booo, stop bringing up old topics

still locust
daring nymph
#

I’m taking that bait

#

But ya

#

Idc

#

Bring tinkerer

#

I want to be in a big mech

#

Imagine your big tank cd

#

Is just hopping in your mech

lucid arrow
hazy mural
lucid arrow
#

tinker would have many things engi doesn't

daring nymph
#

And then like

lucid arrow
#

as in, enough things to fill in a rotation of 3 specs

still locust
daring nymph
#

Some of your rotational skills become mech versions of it

daring nymph
merry quest
still locust
#

It would have a healer spec, a pet turret/bot spec and a rocket/flamethrower spec

daring nymph
#

To tank while in a big robot

daring nymph
#

Like bear

#

But robot

lucid arrow
#

mech would probably be a cd

#

blizzard loves their cds

#

if they made druid now the forms would all be cds

still locust
#

??

still locust
#

Brother, druids haven't had CDs on their shapeshifts since warcraft 3

lucid arrow
#

that would be what I'm saying

still locust
#

Nah you're done cooking

#

Get out of the kitchen

lucid arrow
#

if blizzard were to make druid as a new class in 2026, they'd probably make the shapeshifts cd

still locust
#

The smoke alarm is going off

lucid arrow
#

feral would cast wrath for 10k dps and every 2 mins go cat form for 20s for 500k dps

shut jasper
merry quest
#

Healer spec design for tinker could be fun - drones that drop healing air strikes, nanobot injections, the classic tf2 healing ray

lucid arrow
merry quest
#

Tank lives in its mech, dps plays around with explosives and turrets

still locust
#

I don't know if I'm meant to talk about this in here but

lucid arrow
#

take it or leave it

still locust
#

Conquest of Azeroth

daring nymph
#

What’s that

lucid arrow
#

pserver

still locust
#

Although this page is old information

lucid arrow
#

alpha, 5y ago

#

still in alpha

shut jasper
#

why do the class icons look AI

still locust
#

Nah

#

It just hit beta

lucid arrow
#

release by 2036 huge

still locust
shut jasper
#

I don't think they are because 5 years ago they would have looked a lot worse if ai gened

#

they just look like it

daring nymph
#

Well if they use Ai

#

Then no ty

#

Also

#

I like some of these concepts

#

A lich spec would go hard

still locust
#

I think it was just placeholder art (if they had any) and has long been replaced

fleet shell
#

Does someone knows the macro for incarn that uses trash before and after in the same keybind??

still locust
#

There's no significant gain to macroing like that over just pressing thrash, incarn, thrash

#

You have the whole global cooldown of the first thrash to press incarn and be ready to press thrash again

desert pecan
#

Is there a way to see what raidbots is pressing?
It says my dotc apex build is 60k more dps (10 targets) than the ec thrash build but actual running dungeons im very close to same dps for both builds

trim plaza
covert stone
#

Is there a macro for regrowth that can not accidentaly demorph you

fervent swan
#

Do you need the two rings from Nexus Point for the equip effect to trigger?

#

as a bear?

queen salmon
#

embelish works too

tall basin

queen salmon

but i guess the dmg from neck is, let's say "not here" XD

@lucid arrow Naowh using DoC btw

forest flume
#

waits for the "ah yes i can see how its clearly the superior option now"

olive hare
#

Its always been that 🤷‍♂️ But DG is reasonably close to serve as a lazy option.

toxic field
#

with nopex build, during a pull, when both thrash and lb are off cooldown what is the better global?

forest flume
rustic kestrel
#

no, hes asking should he press thrash or lunar beam

toxic field
rustic kestrel
#

Press Lunar beam

forest flume
#

Oh my bad

#

i am an idiot

rustic kestrel
#

hes running moonkin too

#

hes going off grid

#

Hi ! 🙂 Quick question about craft why do they craft Crit/hast and not versa Haste ? or mastery

olive compass
#

dont panick fellas

vagrant python
#

if im tanking in m+ as dotc, whats the move if im getting hit a lot and i have a ravage proc and i already have like 1 ironfur? is a second layer of ironfur better or do i let rip the ravage?

violet holly
trim plaza
#

ravage gives flat dr

vagrant python
#

yeah i think 15% thingy

trim plaza
#

so u hit ravage

#

u also get ursoc fury

#

is this aoe or single target scenario?

vagrant python
#

ok! also if i have a ravage proc and im like 20 or so points away from 80 rage, do i wait or do i ravage at that moment too

trim plaza
#

u dont need ever to wait 80

vagrant python
#

scenario where i pulled a whole ass room

trim plaza
#

just send it at 60

vagrant python
#

oh i always think at 80 for the harness thingy

trim plaza
#

its w/e

#

u get shitton of gore anyway, especially in aoe

soft flint
#

quick question, I checked pins but didn't find this info, where can I find on which dungeons to use my bonus role?

vagrant python
#

ok thanks!

soft flint
#

mythic raiding is not on the table

#

not for now at least

trim plaza
#

as long as u benefit full killing blow

violet holly
#

you use on whatever dungeon you get the loot you need

#

if its a fresh one I suggest windrunner

#

every item there is good

trim plaza
#

windrunner spire is good one for fresh

violet holly
#

and it has a wep, and good trinkets

soft flint
# trim plaza new char?

no, at 283 rn I have mythic weapon (not bis) but my tanking trinks are all hero, I have heart and plume (do have box at 298 but holding on using it atm)

trim plaza
#

feather/heart/prism are all good ones

#

puzzle too if u wanna be psycho

soft flint
#

ouzzle is for kitty paw paw lol

versed gorge
#

Ive had puzzlebox since the beginning, ive never unequipped lol

soft flint
#

kk gonna focus on windrunner to get mythic trinks

#

tks guys

trim plaza
#

also nxp rings are good ones too

shut jasper
#

it was already optimal to opt out of it for damage before the thrash buff, after it it's become quite meh

noble ledge
#

97 for my ilvl on heroic imperator without warri buff, please be proud of me clap pinkhearties

soft flint
#

well my weapon is the one from windrunner spire lol so trinks and i could also use that neck on mythic as well

fallen robin
shut jasper
#

(but gz)

noble ledge
hazy mural
trim plaza
vagrant python
shut jasper
#

it's still a gain st but aoe you get gore so much it does nothing almost

vagrant python
#

right ill see if it feels good moving it somewhere else. thanks!

trim plaza
#

moonless ngiht is good one

#

or waking nightmare was kinda ok too if i remember right

shut jasper
#

double FC if you don't have it

trim plaza
#

ye double fc is must

shut jasper
#

talking about dotc so

trim plaza
#

ik

shut jasper
#

pins build doesn't have it

#

raze is also very easy to drop now

trim plaza
#

raze is kinda meh with DotC

#

tbh

shut jasper
#

and I'd prob run guardian of elune over the mastery talent

trim plaza
#

without raze i would go mastery instead

shut jasper
#

even with raze on dotc I'd rather just have higher uptime on more if stacks than that

rustic kestrel
#

raze point almost useless for current dotc keys. At the bottom of the tree you always have 2 FC, then you choose between Moonless night(damage) or Harnessed Rage(tankyness

trim plaza
#

so WN is absolute useless for DotC?

rustic kestrel
#

no, it does a few % damage, you just do more damage with MN

shut jasper
trim plaza
#

oki

rustic kestrel
#

do significantly more mangle healing with hr

shut jasper
#

what I mean is that you get so much gore it's not that many more mangles

#

if you look at just aoe

#

st sure it's pretty big

rustic kestrel
#

you'd be surprised how often you have to swipe without it

#

I thought the same thing

#

but, the issue with it is that its a useless talent point during incarn

#

Brybear and I have switched with it a couple times

vagrant python
#

maybe ill move my harness to fc 2/2! feels good multi proccing this thang

rustic kestrel
#

You 100% should have 2/2 fc

vagrant python
shut jasper
#

yeah that's what we were discussing, a couple options would prob be best swapped

vagrant python
#

i specifically tried looking for one that uses raze cus i like it, and not elunes chosen cus i feel icky pressing moonfire as filler

rustic kestrel
#

What I run-ish

#

Brybear

shut jasper
rustic kestrel
#

Though I take a point out of reinvig and put it back into bark cd

vagrant python
#

thanks! ill do another pass at recent convo so i understand better

still locust
#

It basically plays identical to DOTC, except you don't get ravage procs

vagrant python
still locust
#

The other 2 play the same (ish) as druid of the claw

#

Just if you wanted an Elune's Chosen option

vagrant python
#

ok ty!

shut jasper
#

for that build it might be worth swapping elune's favored to moonless, unless you really feel the need for that extra healing

still locust
#

The maul builds have moonless

shut jasper
#

it does not

#

that's the apex ec build

still locust
#

Oh yeah the apex doesn't

#

Yeah that's an option

trim plaza
#

tbh EF, FoN and moonless all good ones

still locust
#

But it's personal preference

#

Neither are super strong in that build

shut jasper
#

for the apex build elune's is particularly weak

still locust
#

After the MN nerf

shut jasper
#

this is the build where moonless is strongest too

#

actually hadn't realized until now how tight ec raze feels on talent points, compared to other builds

trim plaza
#

idk FoN kinda boosts everything even in apex build, does MN really push through it

shut jasper
#

actually nvm

#

not quite that much

trim plaza
#

30%

#

35% mby if u count brambles dot into it

still locust
#

1 point in FoN, MN and EF are all options for the build

shut jasper
#

can't sim atm but should be easy to compare there (though sim is slightly biased in mn's favor, since you'll raze targets without moonfire sometimes)

still locust
#

MN should be more burst damage, especially against prio targets

#

But it's close either way

vagrant python
#

ok sorry last question for now, during incarn with the flood of ravage procs, i just let it rip right? no care about killing blow?

shut jasper
#

yeh

#

preferably you still send buffed by kb but rather send unbuffed than risk wasting a proc

vagrant python
#

ok last last question, how do i deal with wild guardian and ravage? i make sure to use my 2 wild guardian on ravages?

rustic kestrel
#

preferably

vagrant python
#

ok i think i asked everything i was curious about. thanks! really helpful friends here

trim plaza
#

im glad someone is playing apex too and having fun with it

short nest
#

anyone else have trouble with The Light of Elune on mythic paladins? I've had the Fury of Elune proc on Senn while she's far away on her aura and get silenced 🙂

do you just switch to Astral Insight not to deal with this?

still locust
#

That would be the option, yes

short nest
#

feels super dumb but it is what it is I guess

still locust
#

Fwiw, astral insight isn't bad

#

Especially on aoe like that fight

short nest
#

yeah I'm not too bummed about that, it just feels dumb that a random proc can silence you when you're not doing anything wrong

edgy shard
#

Is getting hit in the back an issue for bear?

long barn
#

Does anyone have issues with remove curses as guardian? Specifically this macro is not working on the duo boss in Windrunner

#showtooltip Remove Corruption
/cast [target=mouseover,help,nodead][target=target] Remove Corruption

rustic kestrel
still locust
#

I don't know if target=mouseover works, but @mouseover works

short nest
still locust
#

@vagrant python tagging you too because it's an answer to your question

#

Because sending at 40 rage is 100% of a ravage, sending at 50 rage is 135% of a ravage and sending at 60 rage is 170% of a ravage

#

So even if you sometimes risk clipping, you're still very unlikely to clip

#

And getting effectively 2x ravage per proc is much better than maybe sometimes not clipping

#

This is also why you try to hover around max rage in DOTC, even during incarn

#

To limit the amount of times you have less than 60 rage and a ravage proc

vagrant python
#

ah yeah thats a good avenue for improvement for me i havent even thought of that at my level

#

rage control mmm

red knoll
#

Does ironfur even do anything on mythic paladins

#

I feel like most of tbe damahe is just holy

#

Damage

still locust
#

Most of the damage is holy yeah

#

But they still melee hard

#

You can probably survive the encounter without ironfur

red knoll
#

Ive noticed im only in danger when whatserbitch is meleeing me

#

And ironfur seems to do mostly nothing

#

Im also tanking senn most of the fight

#

So im taking nearly double the damage from the other tank but its almost all magic

still locust
#

They both melee equally hard, about 900k before mitigation if not empowered by anythjing

#

I'd still keep up 1 stack of IF

#

Because why not

red knoll
#

Bellamy shield definitely hits harder than the ret guys swing

drifting scarab
#

Hello Guys. I thin kthere was an addon or macro so i dont switch out of bear when i dont have proc for healing. can u link pls? thanks!

shut jasper
still locust
#

Not according to logs

red knoll
#

Not melee sorry

#

The swing after uh

still locust
#

Everything not a melee is holy damage

red knoll
#

The taunt swap thing

shut jasper
#

that said it's not a situation that comes up on sims because the sim won't make that rage management mistake

red knoll
#

I can live venel swap easily with just fregen up,

#

Bellamy swap one shots me if i dont have anything up

still locust
#

This is the physical damage taken by this bear I'm looking at

#

This is not-physical damage

still locust
red knoll
#

Yeah so shield does like double the damage verdict does

#

Which is fucking wild

shut jasper
#

iirc the way the guide was written was as I said it

#

because of claw rampage alone

red knoll
#

Sorry triple

shut jasper
#

outside of incarn the choice is obvious and it's build before sending

still locust
still locust
shut jasper
#

I guess I was misremembering glorp

red knoll
#

Na shield definitely just does more damage

#

You get one shot unless you have bark si incarn and an external up

#

If you take the shield plus judgment

#

Its like 3milli

#

Unless you can cheese it somehow

#

Maybe dks can live the hit

still locust
#

The numbers aren't super different

red knoll
#

Its 3 vs 6 hits

still locust
#

Look at the "U: " values

stiff phoenix
#

timed my first 15. was AA. only done it on 12 before. living that first pull is dope ass mean

red knoll
#

Does damage reduced by barkskin count as unmitigated

oblique adder
#

okay so im pretty much geared for guardian rn, if I wanted to feral dps sometimes how rough will my dps be with guardian gear

red knoll
#

Idk how hes taking less unmitigated some hits

still locust
#

Unmitigated is calculated backwards

#

I believe

#

So it takes the actual damage taken, and the mitigation and absorbs amount the tank has, then calculates the unmitigated amount

#

It's not perfect, but it's close enough on magic damage like this

red knoll
#

So he had like si instead of bark on the 500k hits

still locust
#

The bosses have periods of increased damage done

red knoll
#

Im wondering if I should take RF on that fight

still locust
#

The 43% mitigation hits are probably bark, and the 67% is probably SI

red knoll
#

I took off brambles cuz healers were struggle bussing but i put it in the magic dr which doesnt seem too helpful

#

Its like 2% dr most times

#

UW I think is what its called

#

Im playing dotc, basically saving 1 stack of si for emergencies and saving ironfur for every swap

#

Err barkskin

#

Not ironfur

#

So i think the extra dr on swap would help a bit

#

But idk

red knoll
#

Im also saving incarn for swaps when I need to double taunt

#

The senn pull out mostly

#

Though it usually lines up pretty perfectly

#

Are there any talents you can think of that would help with just reducing the overall magic damage im taking

#

UW seems minor but might add up

edgy merlin
#

no taunt misses

red knoll
#

Were like 70 pulls deep on a 30 pull boss so I just wanna get it done lol

#

Yeah

edgy merlin
#

I think it has to do with on target mitigation like moonfire and thrash

red knoll
#

Ivr noticed sometimes it just doesnt do damage

#

Or very little

edgy merlin
#

the first one that supposedly hits for 944k doesnt have moonfire and only 1 thrash stack

#

the next one for 560k has moonfire and 5 thrash stacks

#

maybe wclogs doesnt calculate those dmg reductions correctly?

red knoll
#

And idk if its a healer externalling me or if the ability just wildly varies in damage

red knoll
#

So is it just guardian bug? Or logs being weird

edgy merlin
#

so the wclogs damage calculation is off or bear mitigation breaks in that fight., But I would guess it's a log problem

red knoll
#

Its not a health % based hit right?

edgy merlin
#

no it's just supposed to be roughly 770k magic hit

#

which it is on the dk

red knoll
#

It seems to be a lot more on us

#

Ive looked at desth logs and its hit me for more before

edgy merlin
#

well it could be just that you usually swap when he is coming back from aura

red knoll
#

It could be boosted by something im not aware of

#

Yeah

edgy merlin
#

and dont have moonfire or any thrash stacks

red knoll
#

I always barkskin it now

#

Venel is significantly easier to take raw

#

Idk why

edgy merlin
#

those are already a 25% mititgation

short nest
#

should try to get a moonfire up at the very least

#

free -12%

red knoll
#

Im dotc and red moon

#

Ao

#

So

#

Its dependant

short nest
#

well

#

good luck then

red knoll
#

On procs mostly

#

I mean ec is also rm in raid

#

So

short nest
#

I'm not running red moon on that fight

open trail
#

For crafts, is it better to use 289 gear over embelish?

short nest
#

maybe it's a bit more damage but that's far from the problem we're having

red knoll
#

Im pretty sure gg procs enough

#

To cover for it more than enough of the fight

short nest
#

red moon feels clunky and sometimes forces me to swipe so I tend to avoid it more than most

red knoll
#

Moonfire does nothing for dotc so

#

I guess its split on who is running rm on tjat fight

#

Its just so much upfront damage idk

edgy merlin
edgy merlin
#

So basically General easily does up to 33% more dmg just because you dont have time to put thrash and mf mitigation up. Logs don't seem to work correctly for those mitigations

red knoll
#

Shes a ho

#

I hate her

#

So much

#

Is it okay to have venel die when the others are around 30%

#

I feel like the loss of the mechanics makes up for the slow ramp

#

Healing wise

#

Our biggest issue is just healers going oom

#

Sometimes we fuck up the taunt swaps. It gets messy when the charge baits are in Narnia

edgy merlin
#

just do more dps so they die fast

#

no need to do mechanics then

brave raft
#

I see all the best tanks using fluent form, yet I have no clue why. Anyone care to fill me in? dont we jsut sit in bearform all the time anyway, aside from when we use Hotw?

red knoll
#

So should we kill venel first and just do the other 2 at 30%

#

Cuz they stop doing mechanics when one dies right

noble ledge
red knoll
#

Saves a gcd when returning from hotw

#

Is the biggest reason

edgy merlin
#

So for example you end a pack, run to next pack in travel form, switch to bear manually before pull, you have 42 rage instead of 25

#

Pretty useful to have that one ironfur up on pull

#

hello guys im kinda a imortal bear with 290ilvl but for some reason in boss fights i struggle to get 50k dps :x i see guardians do 70/80/90k dps whats the secret? :x kinda new to tanking and dps always was healer main

red knoll
#

Are you using apex

edgy merlin
#

Are you taling raid or m+ bosses?

red knoll
#

Oh true

edgy merlin
#

m+ nopex build doesnt deal more than 50-60k on bosses

red knoll
#

I dont see bears doing 90k on m+ unless theyre apex

#

Ya

valid totem
#

raids!

edgy merlin
#

well you need to play a raid build for starters

#

and it's hard to say after that without a log

shut jasper

if you have the correct buiild the next step is linking a log

quick schooner

Is healer top prio to use symbio relationship or like some melee dps? Dont know on who to click it on higher keys tbh

wary hearth
#

So how could a bear do 100k dps ST in a m+?

rustic kestrel
#

they arent

amber ocean
#

And have said boss die veryyyyyyyy quickly

wary hearth
#

I mean even with apex in m+ I am around 50-60kish

amber ocean
#

Cause that's an AoE build, and you presumably have AoE talents and trinkets

shut jasper
#

for the meta comp it's aug all the way

wary hearth
#

Probably, I can do over 100k for sometime, but until boss dies it gets down

#

Your stats don't matter

#

+60 haste is not going to make or break anything

#

I'd rather just have 4p on in case you decide to press maul once ever with the buff up

rustic kestrel
#

if you lose 60 haste you will do 30% less damage

still locust
#

If you never ever ever ever EVER plan on pressing maul, you can just run 2p

#

But you don't really gain anything

#

Specific* stats aren't that important for bear

shut jasper

context was raid too so like

#

yeah 4p is very very strong

#

don't skip it

valid totem

ok im gonna convert it then

In raid you 100% should play with maul, apex and 4p

With maul, apex and all that

And a lot of flavour of the month bears are running the no-maul M+ build in raids (this is not good)

the bear population has also just been famously awful

so like if you kind of know your rotation, raid parsing has always been soooo easy

amber ocean

that's just tank parsing in general

still locust

Yeah, it's a problem that "plagues" all tanks, but bears are especially hit by it with the reputation of the "easy tank for noobs"

shut jasper

not just bear

trim plaza

like in tww I think s1 pala was one of the biggest offenders

red knoll

because the m+ build did negative st

I have yet to get a 99 in mythic. But I did get a 99 on my first clear of HC L'ura which I was pretty happy about, given it's kinda-sorta difficult (But not for tanks)

I don't want to waste a night of prog if a dps has figured something out but they're not allowed to talk

yes dps part is the most important, but i guess... tanks know better how to tank

red knoll

Bro didnt know the bosses cant move while theyre casting

still locust

I value all input from my raid team mid raid night

#

All of it

half surge

but i mean

still locust
#

I will let them know what I think and why it's a bad idea if it is

half surge
#

if dps says move boss into the poop on the ground

would u do that?

rustic kestrel

i tell them theyre a bunch of morons

edgy merlin

It's better to mute the raiders and listen to some chill music

rustic kestrel

and to let me go

Unfortunately there are also a lot of situations where tanks are like this

And they're just flatout wrong about it

half surge

agree too

red knoll

Sure

still locust
#

I don't need arrogant tanks who think they're flawless

rustic kestrel

I had to come in for alleria and beloran and I hated every minute of it

half surge
#

but if tank does the right, and mechanic was executed

#

why would some1 complain? just for purpose?

still locust
#

In the case of a boss not being stacked because it's channeling, I would laugh at the raider telling the boss to move

half surge
#

complaining about something such minor like inch of boss wasnt aligned.. i mean

edgy merlin

Some people are just complainers

still locust
#

There's no real dps check on paladins anymore anyway

red knoll
#

Im talking mid pull

still locust
still locust
red knoll
#

Idc if they talk between pulls

edgy merlin
#

You can spot the type often by how they complain about someone failing. Then next pull they fail the same mechanic and complete silence

still locust
#

Yeah we call those people morons and they quickly stop

edgy merlin

Or ''Don't hit my crystal with your beam!'' into ''Don't drop your crystal where I need to move in with my beams''

Sounds like a range parselord happybear

Personally, I will never understand the people who treat raid as a single-player game

only time i almost lost my mind when our dps players told to move salhadar away from orb when he is CASTING THE TANK BUSTER

still locust
#

That goes for arrogant dps who thinks the world revolves around them just as much as people who mute everyone and blast music

#

I raid because I like having fun with friends and killing bosses as a team

#

If I had to sit in silence mid pull without being allowed banter (within reason) then I would rather just quit

red knoll
#

Hes gotten better about it after me and my co tank talked to him about it

#

But we still get blamed for shit outside our control on newer prog bosses

#

An add lived at 4% from the middle of the room to chimmy and tanks got blamed for not having the boss at the very edge of the platform lol

#

We have 3 Monks and 3 druids, I typhooned and ursol'd it

#

Still made it to boss lmao

still locust
#

Could you have prevented it walking in by taking a few steps though?

#

Because that is sort of your job on chim, regardless of if the rest of the raid team fucked up too

red knoll
#

Not on my bear i had moved to be closer to the add to vortex, I mightve been able to if i dashed?

#

But taking a back shot with dash on the off chance it didnt die vs dps not doing 4% to a smally

#

I definitely could've done SOMETHING, and i already had with typhoon and vortex. But yeah i weighed it and just thought it would die

#

If i was made aware no one was gunna hit it i could've moved it before hand

#

It was also an awkward point where I would've had to put people at risk by walking into dissonance range

edgy merlin
#

Basically there are 3 types of mistakes in raid and m+.

  1. Someone else fucked up and there was nothing I could do to save it
    2.Someone else fucked up but I could save it by playing better myself
  2. I fucked up
#

Many lump 2 into 1 and blame others for failing

#

best improvement comes from focusing on turning mistakes of those sorts into saves

red knoll
#

I think there's reasonable reason to not have to burden one role with other peoples fuck ups though. Moving chimmy far away from adds should be a last ditch effort and called out. Particularly when trying to get the big add on the boss during consume.

#

Cuz you lose a lot of uptime on boss when you move him away from big guy

still locust
red knoll
#

In cat i could get crit

#

And have significantly less health

muted pulsar
#

Moving boss away during small adds and then back to the big add once smallies are dead is pretty normal

edgy merlin
#

Well sure that is the optimal situation. But your situation as follows: 1. Move the boss and risk some raid dmg and loss of uptime 2. Dont move and hope that add gets killed in time

#

For me option 2 is a lot safer

#

after pull/wipe you can discuss that hey guys maybe kill the add further so i dont have to go to africa

still locust
edgy merlin
#

but saying that wow the dps players are failing and there was nothing I could do is a bit of a copout

still locust
edgy merlin
#

I think I move the boss away like 50% of time on our farm kills

muted pulsar
#

Anyway if you play with competent people the big add can get out of the realm so fast that you have to kite the whole time

forest flume
red knoll
#

If you have him in the right spot he will always reach the boss

edgy merlin
#

same in m+, instead of ''wow dps players are shit they didnt interrupt the add they marked and we wiped'' instead it sometimes could be ''Incap, ping add, typhoon if still not kicked, maybe manage to interrupt yourself, save pull''

red knoll
#

Within the consume

edgy merlin
#

not every time of course

#

but sometimes

still locust
#

If you bring the add out super fast it instantly starts walking with half the raid still inside

#

If you break it out towards the end of the inside phase it doesn't start walking early, and the entire raid can hit it

muted pulsar
#

Big brain time

still locust
#

it's a none-issue because you can just kite if you need it

red knoll
#

If youre late you have to move the boss towards the big add

still locust
#

You don't, though?

red knoll
#

If its killed instantly it reaches the boss on its spot

still locust
#

There's no dps check on the fight

#

You don't have to care about min-maxxing killing boss

#

This might have been true week 1 or 2

covert prairie
#

have mythic raids become 10 times easier or ppl i raided with during shadowlands were aids?

red knoll

You right I can interrupt/cc every add set so I should do it

#

?

#

Are we talking about the same fight?

burnt sandal
#

Ya know I feel like using frenzied regen pre dungeon key is really slept on

red knoll
#

Just because you have the ability to do something doesnt mean you should be required to

#

Or expected to

#

Its reasonable imo to expect others to do their job

burnt sandal
#

FR then Berserk and enjoy your free shield with your charge back up

#

Well that wasnt really the point of the discussion. Of course you should cc every add set or move the boss if it's a choice between wiping or not

Is there a bug with the current Guardian Druid taunt? I don't use mouseover, but the target I'm hovering over is being taunted.

edgy merlin
#

And actually if you look it from optimization point of view, it should be you or healers doing the cc while dps only cleave

still locust
#

Wiping on purpose (which is not what you did) just because "well the dps didn't do their job!" isn't good

forest flume
red knoll
#

Sure

#

But also

burnt sandal

My point was

Tank being blamed for something dps fucked up

Even if i could save it

edgy merlin
#

maybe

#

Are the expectations the same for everyone though?

red knoll
#

Definitely not lol

edgy merlin
#

Is everyone on the midnset that ''We will vortex the adds and all dps should kill them before they get out''

#

or

#

cleave adds and tank will probably move if they get close

gleaming steppe
edgy merlin
#

if you are on the first mindset and others on second, obviously they feel like you fucked up

#

We only cleave the big add

#

Thats our plan

#

We have 3 Monks 2 locks a frost mage 3 druids

still locust
gleaming steppe

This wasn't just about taunt, but there was also an issue where silence suddenly occurred even at distances that were out of range.

I just tell everyone to "hit the fucking adds, nobody cares about your boss damage if we wipe"

Although we're not rekilling it anytime soon most likely

red knoll
#

Thats what I expected

#

But I was called out

gleaming steppe
#

I'm not using any add-ons except nsrt. Does nsrt have provocation-related features?

red knoll
#

Which is wild

edgy merlin
#

The thing is that there are so many dps players that many will have the mindset that someone else will do something. Usually that someone else is tank in that situation because tank can move the boss

#

So it might be a bit unfair to only blame you

still locust
lethal elbow

Quick question please, when pulling with moonkin hotw on spread pulls atm I'm mf on each pack then hit it, but I've seen people to say hotw then start hitting them with mf. If I do it that way round would it still get full value if all the packs aren't in combat with me when I first cast it?

And then they'll complain the boss wasnt on top of the big add PogCat

Which is my fault as well

In our plan moving the boss was supposed to be called out and never expected unless it was the big add

Yeah I know, I'm asking if you're playing with reinvigoration

And i still called that out

brave bear
#

yes

#

1 point

still locust
#

Then my quick-fix doesn't work

red knoll
#

Since we have infinite rops and knocks

still locust
#

DoC stacks up to 4 though, and is confused by frenzied regen for a big heal

red knoll
#

It makes sense

still locust
#

Do you often shift out of form by pressing regrowth when you don't have a proc?

brave bear
#

it automatically shifts me out of form if its not proc

still locust
#

Yes, does that happen to you often?

gleaming steppe
#

It's not checked. That's strange.

brave bear
red knoll

I dont get why boomies can just cast regrowth and not leave form

But we cant

#

And feral cant

Without shitty procs

Because we're not casters

Anyway

We can use moonfire

# brave bear not many times

Your options are:

1: Make it more visible when it's safe to press regrowth through the cooldown manager
2: Rely solely on frenzied regen using your Dream of Cenarius procs
3: Swap the point out of reinvigoration, and swap dream of cenarius to dreamguide

red knoll

What was broken about it

still locust
#

Food is done and I don't know if I can quickly find it again

#

But they had like super-macros that would correctly choose to power shift and mana pot and stuff

#

And we were hit in the crossfire

#

No official explanation from blizz, but this is the most likely thing to have prompted it

red knoll
#

Weird

#

It was just a form macro

#

And checked if you had a proc

#

And were in form or not

#

If you were in cat and had a proc: regrowth was cast, if not in form and no proc it was also cast, but if you had no proc and in form it just did nothing

still locust

Found something

And I think there was an even more advanced one

If you got a weapon in that process, go seat imo

Only one trinket and its not that bad

Its that 90second damage on use isnt it

If you empty out seat its a full armor set and the rings are decent

That or the globule for a defensive option in keys

You'll want gaze/plume for your static anyways
