ya ya youre the best im sure little baby key +21 fort halls dogs x 4 enraged

#

sure you tank that in your sleep we get it

broken crater
#

point being every tank should be able to do that because its a 21

#

except maybe druid and ppal? not sure about the latter

crystal iris
#

ya no

chilly brook
#

man goes nuclear because I said I preferred 8.3 veng to SL

broken crater
#

i mean dk def can

#

prot war def can

#

vdh def can

chilly brook
#

cring

broken crater
#

monk likely can

cobalt seal
crystal iris
#

prot warr theres no fkn way

cobalt seal
#

like current vdh

toxic pewter
#

Anyone have any season 4 tips

cobalt seal
#

rng mitigation

crystal iris
#

that bleed destroys you

cobalt seal
#

is dogshit

toxic pewter
#

Anyone got any tips

cobalt seal
#

FD is superior to Glut

#

in all situations

chilly brook
#

and you def would have had more than 50% uptime on meta in 8.3

cobalt seal
#

being able to control mitigation

#

is better than rng

chilly brook
#

between VoP and gluttony if you were really shearing

#

solo tank strats in bfa as veng with spam and glut pretty much showed that for sure

broken crater
chilly brook
#

not sure what's funny about that

cobalt seal
#

your arguments

crystal iris
broken crater
#

the melee hit is irrelevant on a 21

#

ngl

#

the bleed i can get behind

chilly brook
#

It's not even an argument

broken crater
#

but if you get clapped by enraged melee hits on 21 thats on you

chilly brook
#

I just enjoyed 8.3 Veng over SL veng

crystal iris
#

maybe for a few seconds with SW

chilly brook
#

Uptime on meta was extremely high in BFA

crystal iris
#

ya you should negate the hit but the point is theyre going to hurt and you should run

chilly brook
#

This is a known

broken crater
#

sigh im gonna check tattmans logs

chilly brook
#

Other than that it's just preference

cobalt seal
#

if it's that higher

chilly brook
#

?

broken crater
#

avg melee from a dog on 29: 9.6k

crystal iris
#

lol I was just watching tattmans videos

#

dude is insane tanks as if its nothing

broken crater
#

so yea

#

pwar can tank that on 21 too

#

i have no absorbs but even without it, thats 18k

#

vdh eats 28k at 6 stacks

cobalt seal
#

random log from someone doing a 27 AD

warm plinth
#

I was told that the bleed is actually based on how much damage you take from the initial hit. Like if you compare a VDH log or a pwar log of the same key level with a guardian druid, the difference is insane.

cobalt seal
#

50% meta uptime

broken crater
#

tattman has practically the same dmg taken from melee vs dot

cobalt seal
broken crater
#

that said i seem to have tanked them 50% less than him judging by jaws of stone casts

cobalt seal
#

maybe this 27 FH

#

30%

crystal iris
#

as soon as he hits 5 stacks his whole screen goes red lol

cobalt seal
#

I wanna know what you are dreaming on 50% meta uptime

warm plinth
crystal iris
#

he barely touches them sort of just charges around kiting them

warm plinth
#

It's an initial hit + a bleed

broken crater
warm plinth
#

Oh, gotcha

crystal iris
#

he took a lot of damage there but he wasnt hard kiting, trying to keep everything in the RoF

broken crater
#

not because of stacks

#

its a scary pull

crystal iris
broken crater
#

129k hp

#

1 tick every 2s

#

16k tick

crystal iris
#

idk maybe he got hit by a frontal or something

broken crater
#

you do the math whether he had low hp from melees/casts

#

or from dot

crystal iris
#

it looked like the extra application of stacks just chunked him though

broken crater
#

yea which makes sense too right

warm plinth
#

FWIW the ticks are every 1 second, not 2

broken crater
#

but its not the dot

#

fair

#

he also dwarfs it

crystal iris
slim zinc
#

The dots aren't what kills you

#

It's everything else along with dot

broken crater
#

the swipe itself isnt terrible either

#

its jaws of stone that trucks

slim zinc
#

^

broken crater
#

is basically like shadowcore in dos, except you cant kick it, has practically no animation and is instant

crystal iris
#

I think we all agree those dogs are bad fkn news

broken crater
#

that said

crystal iris
#

its blockable though right?

broken crater
#

we can actually check from the log what trucked him there

#

it surely wasnt the dot application because avg hit is 6k lol

#

jaws of stone avg cast 26k

crystal iris
#

my point still being 4x enraged Jaws in a 21 will truck most tanks on fort week

broken crater
#

im dumb and linked myself, clever

warm plinth
#

Jaws is no joke. Like you can see the first one even blocked was 18.5k

toxic pewter
#

Is it true the new ip cap (30% of max health) isn’t worse for simply 2 ip casts (previous cap)

warm plinth
#

and he hadd what, 4 gargons on him?

crystal iris
crystal iris
#

interesting that the jagged swipe is overall more though just the adding up of it

warm plinth
#

Oh yeah I was skipping, I see it

broken crater
#

synced jagged swipe 17k
gargon meles 16k
darkblade melee 10k
gargon swipe 8k
gargon swipe 13k

#

tbf recasting jagged swipe every 2s is kinda toxic design

#

game literally telling you to fuck off after 6s

crystal iris
#

ya

#

im just not a great prot

#

cant keep up with the cpm

#

and pay attention to the key

cobalt seal
warm plinth
#

Yeah this is basically all happening at the exact same time, so that's why he chunked (within a second and a half)

cobalt seal
#

where exactly was BFA way higher Meta uptime?

broken crater
#

was still on 27k fwiw

toxic pewter
#

Wat u guys keep linking

broken crater
#

rare pepes

crystal iris
#

fkn OUCH

#

maybe hit him in the back when he charged a shade

broken crater
#

welcome to vdh

#

all but last 2 in meta

toxic pewter
#

What is all this stuff

crystal iris
#

meh, wont have to deal with it starting tomorrow

#

Just got to learn the new keys now

warm plinth
#

It is a garbage mechanic though for sure

crystal iris
#

probably wont be learning them on prot

toxic pewter
#

I don’t play game 2, in a game 1 player myself

broken crater
#

theres a game 1? (/s)

toxic pewter
#

Yes I play the actual game

#

Not some make believe u guys talking about

broken crater
crystal iris
#

thats the funniest shit when you get into an argument in a class discord with someone

toxic pewter
#

Ya I don’t use any addons

broken crater
#

idk youre on a class discord

#

that kind of makes it unlikely to begin with

crystal iris
#

and they end with : " well I stopped playing bc shadowlands was shit"

toxic pewter
#

Well ya I play prot warrior

warm plinth
broken crater
#

and if thats actually the case then im confused why youre here because the overlap between "no addons game 1 player" and "class discords" is practically 0

toxic pewter
#

I play the actual game of playing world of Warcraft

crystal iris
modern brook
#

I'm so fucking lost

cobalt seal
#

didn't apb say he was reformed?

modern brook
#

What are people talking about

toxic pewter
#

I am reformed

cobalt seal
#

I guess that lasted longer than I thought

crystal iris
#

im pretty lost too tbh

warm plinth
#

Well, except Cromation. He was showing someone that VDH meta uptime wasn't higher in 8.3 vs now

crystal iris
#

and admiring people who can tank above 20s on pwarr

broken crater
#

I'm just working and watching title cutoff without anxiety now

warm plinth
#

did you get it?

broken crater
#

yup

modern brook
#

What the fuck is a game 1

warm plinth
#

Hell yeah dude, congrats

sick sentinel
#

okay im done with the brm

modern brook

or rather at least very most likely unless people go mad tomorrow

Ywah I do t drive with my glasses on either

i finished him to 60

he or another leather wearer need to go to some lfr legion shit to be super accurate, unles the flower in that hat isn't purple

cobalt seal
#

you better have proof of it

crystal iris
warm plinth
#

I didn't say that 8.3 VDH was superior to current

broken crater
sick sentinel
#

im gunna go crazy if i only play prot warrior

modern brook
#

Bri

sick sentinel
#

so i had to boost and lvl some shit

warm plinth
#

I said the opposite, because planned DR > RNG DR

modern brook
#

What world do you think I'm reading thay

broken crater
warm plinth
broken crater
#

why 😮

cobalt seal
sick sentinel
#

square map does that when you arent 90 degree angle

modern brook
#

lmao i appreciate the effort but nah ill live in ignorance

warm plinth
#

because I ain't reading all that 😂

cobalt seal
#

I have no problem with you

warm plinth
#

Oh okay, I misunderstood

crystal iris
#

then play on that for your sanity

warm plinth
#

Can't remember what it was about, but it was in DG

crystal iris
#

and when you get really confidant with mob placement and CDs and routes then pick up prot again

sick sentinel
#

cromation starting a toxic flame war yet again

#

what else is new

cobalt seal
#

what

warm plinth
#

He's right most of the time. He's just abrasive about it

broken crater
cobalt seal
#

yogi and his personal vendetta

sick sentinel
#

at least he knows what hes talking about

broken crater
#

cro must must have the weirdest boner rn

warm plinth
#

Chevron weirdly fixated on Cro's penis. Maybe you should do more keys after all. You must be bored

cobalt seal
#

but for other reasons

broken crater
sick sentinel
#

for morshu

cobalt seal
#

"sure"

sick sentinel
#

i identify as morshu

#

or yogi

warm plinth
#

Oh, it was about poxstorm and veinripper, I remember now

cobalt seal

that

warm plinth
#

You guys use that emoji so often, I'm surprised it's not in the server

blazing condor
#

why use space make many emotes when few gifs do trick

hard vessel
#

Are these older m+ dungeons really so much better for us?

#

Like kara mechagon and wod?

chrome falcon
#

what do you mean by "better for us"

#

like better for prot?

#

not really

hard vessel
#

Heard that by watching some videos, people were saying sth like "way more phys dmg in these dungeon, warrior rising"

#

I mean more phys dmg should be good for us right? We are kinda in perma incarn against physical Blockable melee hits

strong forum
#

Yea

#

Dungeon design will favour us a good chunk more than in SL

#

And you can also reflect alot more things

chrome falcon
#

are we sure that SR isn't going to work on medivh's arcane missiles btw

strong forum
#

In JY alone are seemingly infinite amount more reflects

chrome falcon
#

i thought if you precast SR on arcane missiles you could reflect the whole thing

strong forum
chrome falcon
#

i'm pretty sure that's how it works in pvp

strong forum
#

In pvp you also only reflect 1 tick of arcane missiles

#

I think

chrome falcon
#

oh wel l guess we'll see

strong forum
#

I could be wrong on this but with blizz consistency I wouldn't be surprised if you can only reflect 1 tick instead of the entire thing before SR gets consumed

chrome falcon
#

pretty confident you can reflect an entire arcane missiles in pvp but like i might just be thinking of moments i saw during legion so

hard vessel
#

Next season more haste means more rpm required right?

sick sentinel
#

yeah, and so DH is also pretty good too eh? i have a boost i can use some point but i dunno what i should boost

chrome falcon
#

right ok that'd do it then

strong forum
#

Only starting in SL the pvp reflect for arms and fury got changed to "reflect 1 spell"

strong forum
#

The reflect on medivh doesn't apply the "arcane dmg taken increase" on him

sick sentinel
#

lame, i dunno what i want to boost, but probably alliance somethin

strong forum
#

Save it until you know

mighty valley
#

hey we've even had the reflect CD reduced since then

strong forum
#

Those boosts don't run out

hard vessel
#

Boost a monk

sick sentinel
#

faction server does, my thought was to send warrior to alliance boost horde one in his place

distant crystal
hard vessel
#

Stagger doesn't get red while leveling=horrible experience

distant crystal
#

what does that paragraph mean to you

#

cause i feel like they worded that poorly

ocean yoke
#

kill nathria, nathria loot in vault

sick sentinel
chrome falcon
#

no the paragraph doesn't make sense

#

because "only bosses killed that week will be in vault" and "the rules will stay the same"

#

are incongruous statements

distant crystal
#

exactly

ocean yoke
#

yeah that part is odd

distant crystal
#

i suspect the rules will stay the same

strong forum
distant crystal
#

and each week you'll just get loot from a boss you have killed on that difficulty, ever in the season, from the raid that was fated last week

chrome falcon
#

i suspect the person writing the notes just didn't know what they meant

#

^

#

this seems the most likely to me

#

but flip a coin tbh

sick sentinel
#

i probably wont do a key tonight

ocean yoke
#

that would indeed make sense

sick sentinel
#

probably just boost something see how this patch goes

broken crater
#

for higher we'll suffer

#

no urh is already bad for us

sick sentinel
#

thats fine doesn bother me

#

no meaningful rewards for doing +23 nw

broken crater
#

ye that reward only hits on 27+

sick sentinel
#

i dont get a mount, or a really cool transmog set for beating +20's

#

is what i mean

sand drum
#

or atleast that what my friends tell me im not meta :C still brings shout + buff to raid ;>

sick sentinel
#

at least i'll have a ton of character choices in DF

chilly brook
cobalt seal
#

???

chilly brook
#

Why are you question marking

cobalt seal
#

what are you asking?

chilly brook
#

VoP+gluttony had insane uptime on meta

strong forum
#

Vdh had legit like 80% meta uptime in s4

chilly brook
#

I’m not asking anything????

cobalt seal
#

just check the log lol

chilly brook
#

You asked me

chilly brook
#

Cool

#

One is higher

#

And it was BfA

cobalt seal
strong forum
#

Can't check bfa logs anymore iirc

chilly brook
cobalt seal
chilly brook
#

Not spending money for this

#

When you can just look at people playing s4 on YouTube

cobalt seal
#

I linked 2 logs

#

1 of them was BFA

#

2nd highest vdh on season 4

chilly brook
#

Man is playing fracture

cobalt seal
#

you said you werent playing shear

chilly brook
#

I wasn’t

#

Why does what I was doing matter?

#

They specifically removed gluttony because they thought the uptime was problematic btw

cobalt seal
#

lol

#

it wasn't the rng uptime at all

chilly brook
#

I mean that’s the trade off

#

You lost uptime going into SL

#

But you gained control over the proc

#

I’m not sure why you’re so irrationally invested in this when all I said was 1) I liked bfa vengeance and 2) meta uptime was higher. The first is just an opinion and the second is just a fact.

cobalt seal
#

higher in degen build

chrome falcon
#

cro will literally just argue with anyone about anything

cobalt seal
#

not on average people build

#

playing shear spam

#

for an entire expansion

chrome falcon
#

you can say something that's accurate and then he'll move to goalposts to something totally different and argue with you about that

chrome falcon
#

until he finally finds something that he's technically correct about and declare victory

cobalt seal
#

keep the trademill going

#

Join cro is the one moving goalposts discord

chilly brook

2nd point

With a fracture log

mighty valley
#

if we're gonna have pointless circular arguments can they at least be about prot warrior

chilly brook
#

Fracture objectively hurt your gluttony procs

cobalt seal
chilly brook
#

But it was just the more fun build

cobalt seal
#

And removed vdh from their minds after 2 months

#

because the build was the worst thing to exist

#

even worst than current bdk

#

Mousewheel Shear

#

and have fun

#

or fall asleep after 20m

mighty valley

it's gonna be SO good next patch

buff changes everything

#

And meta every 3min

#

1 button spec

#

Guaranteed success

chilly brook
#

Tbf the only real shitty thing about dh in s4 was you were crutched on TD

#

DH dam by itself was so pitiful

median tulip
#

When I play either of my healers, most VDH seem to have a button marked "jump off over the horizon out of range of heals"

chilly brook
strong forum
#

The shitty thing about vdh was the lack of any dmg and threat

chilly brook
#

Ye

#

That’s what I’m saying

strong forum
#

You played suboptimal corruptions just to get threat

chilly brook
#

You were literally crutched on it

cobalt seal
#

DH dmg while playing the fun build

#

wasn't that bad

chilly brook
#

SpB wasn’t anything to write home about

strong forum
#

With frac+spb you were just infinite times squishier aswell

median tulip
#

In BfA S4 my guild's VDH just stacked Twilight Devastation

strong forum
#

Even with lash + vers spb build was spicy af

chilly brook
#

You did TD in s4 and lash if you needed it

cobalt seal
chilly brook
#

Which tbh most everyone just ran slappers

strong forum
#

Most people played double lash + full vers in ultra keys

#

And frac + gluttony

#

1 person ran spb + vers

#

Rest was gluttony

cobalt seal
#

Spb was in glut row?

#

dont remember

#

What I miss from BFA

#

is Soul Barrier trait

#

because I think they already fucked Soul Barrier compared to legion in BFA

strong forum
#

Ye glut was on spb row

#

Otherwise vdh would've been goated af

#

Frac vs ftd and glut vs spb

#

Those were your only "choices"

#

Rest was the same as current tree, except that demonic didn't exist ofc

#

Glut replaced by demonic and moved a row

warm plinth
#

There's also the other side of the VDH tank experience where he tops DPS on Azerokk because his TD goes fucking ballistic and yours won't proc

chilly brook
#

Then his TD finally procs when all the mobs are 20% and it deletes the pack

#

I had many of those experiences

warm plinth
#

I do miss the TD beach pull though. Ran the ultimate meme with bote, merektha's fang, and barrage

#

ez 2 mil DPS

sick sentinel
#

pulling the entire dungeon through walls with TD

warm plinth
#

There are walls in TD?

raw void
#

Intended

chilly brook
#

The best were the 4 TDs in a row while in meta

sick sentinel
#

I remember pulling mobs from top floor and seeing literally every single ashvane spotter point their gun at me

#

That place was a meme

#

these td pull through walls never happend for me

warm plinth
#

It happened once or twice before I learned to just face the opposite direction. Though we had a lot of cannon pulls through walls because our cannon guy would put the reticle on the wall

sick sentinel
#

Homie from beyond was also giga annoying

#

esp if like 3 spawn at once

warm plinth
#

I played havoc so I just ignored TfB

chrome falcon
#

i love how blizz just made a post like

warm plinth
#

Might press Blur if I felt like it but usually my vers and leech would take care of it

chrome falcon
#

"hey we're not telling you what talents havoc has in dragonflight yet but we can tell you which talent they're NOT going to have"

warm plinth
#

DH is gonna be like the last tree to come out, I'm calling it

#

They literally have to build new specs for those two

chrome falcon
#

yeah they're the hardest ones to do for sure

#

dh and warlock seem likely to me

#

i think warlock tree is really hard to make because they need like 11 spells baselined or something

warm plinth
#

Warlock just because they have to try to make sure they don't make it took broken again 😏

#

too*

sick sentinel
#

Dh I can see

#

Monk is taking a min though

#

Warlock is one of those classes where they can do a lot for class fantasy

pallid quiver
#

i want affliction to exist again, thank you

#

that's my favorite warlock spec by a long shot so i'm sad it's been taken out back for the end of SL

sick sentinel
#

They've had to nerf each spec of warlock at least once this expansion

#

First victim was afflic in 9.0

Really feel the love

crystal iris

I mean does he do prot stuff?

#

Thought someone else did the guide

oblique garnet
#

@candid path does wowhead for prot iirc

crystal iris
#

So much for removing shield block charges to make it a spender

mighty valley
#

what was the pitch? it has no CD and it's purely a one-button maintenance?

crystal iris
#

There was a wowhead article proposing it be more of a rage spender similar to iron fur

candid path
#

Yup

#

Won't happen

#

Fun to think about

warm plinth
mortal brook
#

so competing with the rest of the spenders instead of being synergistic with them?

#

feels maul man

oblique garnet
#

So our spenders would be revenge and ip

#

Very cool

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

uh huh

and then 2 more spawn

Just make sure they all hit at the same time

" However, we acknowledge the feedback you’re giving and we’ll be sure not to bring this particular gameplay forward into Dragonflight." From the S4 content update. I know this is only for DH but it will very likely apply to every class

sand drum
#

so this might come as an "weird" or "noobish" question

is there any point looking at old CN / SoD logs for Pwar to see external usage with S4 incoming ?

(since I also have a background in assigning heal cds as I played Rsham prev expac and patches)

With new affix and that should not change fight timers more then how much faster it gets killed ?

(only started Pwar this patch so rly fresh when it comes to "old raids" this xpac and what my weakness might be for X boss)
can repost this in #449510248579858432 if needed

#

<: sorry for wall of text :>

shut summit
#

probably not, shits gona be wildly different

#

diff covenant, diff kill times, affixes, etc

shut summit
#

bosstimers are still same but spec isnt 🤔

sand drum
#

what has changed then peepohide just a small TLDR or send in dm 😛

tardy panther
#

hey noob question. So I'm plying around with prot and am just tanking some of these random mobs in ZM. I lose threat to pets. Is that becuase they are always taunting or am i doing something wrong with threat

dawn canyon
#

Threat is generated by doing damage

#

Hunter pets do have taunts tho

chilly brook
#

unless in a group

dawn canyon
#

Or can be misdirected to

#

So that might be it

tardy panther
#

yeah, i'm pretty undergeared as well. so I'm sure that's it too

#

like 233 ilvl

chilly brook
tardy panther
#

I'm sure my damage right now is like hitting someone with a pool noodle. lol

#

are they changing how verse works in s4?

chilly brook
#

This also applies to healers and other things

sand drum
#

thx Griff :> again hoping to jump on the charge train into Dragonlands :>

chilly brook
#

so a lot of things are just gonna be same same but diff

#

s4 honestly looks pog tho

chilly brook

chilly brook
#

which is pog

#

because this is the kinda stuff we need them to do more of

sand drum
#

if this "flops" IDEA is giga pog

#

and if its only 1 person what if they had more working with it :>

#

^

chilly brook
#

just let devs throw wacky ideas at the board and implement cool ideas

sand drum
#

^sounds like corruption ;>

chilly brook
#

well it's a dev and some other devs

#

we don't know how many

sand drum
#

"are are gamers" let us play outside in the sandbox sometimes ;>

chilly brook
#

but from what I've heard it was the brainchild of Scarizard

#

and if they can get a massive dub from s4, that's huge

#

because that means devs can be creative

sand drum
chilly brook
#

yea I think Scarizard was a more recent guy at least public facing

#

like mid or late bfa I think?

#

and iirc he was responsible for a lot of good class feedback stuff

Yea, he was a game dev from LoL and joined the team like last year

lusty tiger
#

esp on mists 1st boss

#

tyrannical week

patent osprey
#

on any boss tyran week esp dos last boss

#

I beat 2/3 dps on the last boss on a 27 haha

lusty tiger
#

disgusting

shut summit
#

shoulda beaten all of them catjam

#

assert dominance

patent osprey
#

outlaw did like 17k :(

#

couldn't

#

I did like 14-15 I think but I had defensive trinkets on it

sick sentinel
#

so, its just a standard 278 vault for 15? i might just skip out on vault this week, have to look what i have even

drifting fable
#

honestly id just do 8 dungeons for the socket tokens

#

provided they let you use those 6 tokens next week on the s4 socket item

cinder storm
#

They change those tokens for gold iirc

drifting fable
#

well

#

what about the vault next week tho

#

i mean tomorrow i should say lmao

#

are those tokens turned into gold immediately? or can we buy a socket item with a s3 vault

#

just the next one specifically

warm plinth
#

My guess is that they will turn into gold. Otherwise you could buy 2 socket items immediately if you filled your vault (next season's socket item is only 3 tokens instead of 6)

drifting fable
#

orly

#

didnt know that actually

warm plinth
#

Yeah kinda defeats the purpose of having the socket item option if you can buy 1/3 of them right away haha

drifting fable
#

i agree but ill cheese when possible keks

warm plinth
#

Gotta shoot your shot when it's there, for sure

#

It would be funny if they didn't consider that though

waxen orbit
#

Whoever designed Streets needs to never design a dungeon ever fucking again

ancient reef
#

i hate that place

"Let's give several individual mobs a kick, a dispel, and the ability to teleport after their tank with little to no CD"

#

"Oh, so spread those across multiple mobs, right?"

#

"No. Give all three to an individual mob."

#

WHO THE FUCK DESIGNED IT

#

LIEK

waxen frigate
#

they definitely aren't carrying over

#

at all

#

i just dont remember if they said they're turning into gold or something else

sick sentinel
#

yeah 1k gold i think each

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

pretty sure but its on wow head 100%

#

is there any point to do vault tonight???

waxen frigate
#

for M+?

#

probably not

warm plinth
#

I mean, it's a 278 piece 🤷

waxen frigate
#

unless you're missing a trinket for some spec that's 278

#

and want to roll for it

warm plinth
#

If you don't have full 278 it's still an upgrade, albeit a temporary one

sick sentinel
#

like, don't we get the new loot tho? from after vault

#

and its higher ilvl

warm plinth
#

The vault gear will be 278 but yeah you can farm after that and get higher stuff

warm plinth
#

But that doesn't mean you're just gonna auto replace everything right away

sick sentinel
#

okay, so literal no point then lol

warm plinth
#

I had 233 bracers on my mage all the way until like a month ago

sick sentinel
#

well, i valored the shit out of my self

cinder storm
#

Only reason to do m+ is to ensure you get at least a 15 next week

sick sentinel
#

says i earned 25,490 valor this season

warm plinth
#

Which also technically doesn't need to happen since as long as you timed a 19 the week before, you're still fine

cinder storm
sick sentinel
#

ohhh is it that crap? where you need to do a 20 to get a 15 or whatever in your box

#

i seem to recall this in bfa

drifting fable
#

18 to get a 15

warm plinth
#

You need to time an 18 if you haven't done a key recently in order to get a 15

drifting fable
#

-3 decay

warm plinth
#

Keyword being time

drifting fable
#

true

#

no time a 19

sick sentinel
#

i just dont feel like being bothered to do it lol

#

cuz, the new valor gear will be auto better so

warm plinth
#

When is the last time you did a key?

drifting fable
#

eh its not the end of the world to push one from 10 or something

sick sentinel
#

7 days ago, pretty much exactly

warm plinth
#

what level?

alpine shard
#

i think i made like 100k from buying leather with valor last season

sick sentinel
warm plinth
#

Yeah looking back at your recent keys, you're getting an 11 tomorrow if you don't do a key today

#

Because that 15 would've been a 15 key this week, which decays to 14 naturally since you didn't do a key this week, and then drops 3 more levels due to the season drop

sick sentinel
#

haven't done any keys this week at all, and i unlocked and leveled both a kul tiran monk and mechagnome, working an suramar now

warm plinth
#

But 11s should drop like 281 ilevel so

sick sentinel
#

have 3 more zones after that, i just need to have access all he allied races, make some finalizations on races after, like i want my lock/mages to be void elf or night borne, i would also enjoy to make horde warrior high mountain, light forged for a paladin, or dark iron is pretty good too.

warm plinth
#

end of dungeon

#

Light forged is fun because pew pew

#

big aoe dam every 3 mins

sick sentinel
#

im just exausted now and can't be arsed to fill my vault

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

i dunno what im gunna end up playing

#

but i rolled a paladin (from 50, from bfa to SL squish), a dk, and a monk to lvl 60, so

warm plinth
#

Dang you did a lot more leveling than I did

drifting fable
#

fair enough blizzard

warm plinth
#

Honestly I feel theys hould keep winds of wisdom for the rest of the expansion

#

There's no real reason to turn it off

sick sentinel
#

i wonder what benefits most from VE, "spell cast aren't delayed by damage"

warm plinth
#

Casters, MM hunters

#

But realistically it's only super great in PvP and leveling

#

It doesn't matter much in endgame PvE

sick sentinel
#

wouldn't it be good for keys or raiding?

warm plinth
#

No because you have to take a direct hit to get spellcasts delayed

#

Which you don't

#

Unless the tank dies yep

sick sentinel
#

or its some like shit nerfed hidden effect doesn't really do crap lol

#

so there is a catch lol

warm plinth
#

But it's really nice while leveling a caster because you get meleed a lot

sick sentinel
#

so, ticks from a curse on healer doesn't count?

warm plinth
#

Yeah DoTs don't count

sick sentinel
#

i'm not saying i want to stand in fire as healer, just that if is like what i said its good enough for me

warm plinth
#

Like theoretically I guess something like Vy might push back spell casting? But frankly I've never noticed it

#

Because Vy shoots random people

sick sentinel
#

i know paladins get concentration aura, can't say how much they use it

warm plinth
#

They don't really

#

I mean in PvP they might I suppose but I know jack shit about PvP

sick sentinel
#

you know how like in stranger things people thing dungeons and dragons is the devil the mob?

#

thats me with pvp

#

i tried it long ago in 2005/6 and a bit in tbc

warm plinth
#

I've never seen Stranger Things

#

But my WoW PvP peak was 1850 in S2 TBC arena as feral druid/resto druid

#

in 2s

sick sentinel
#

its a completely foriegn concept to me

#

neu pvp

warm plinth
#

I've been playing since uh

#

October of 2006

#

And I think I'm like honor level 18

cobalt seal
warm plinth
#

So I've heard. I just haven't gotten around to it yet

#

I plan on it eventually

cobalt seal
#

if you dont like to wait for ep

#

can just wait til s5 is over

warm plinth
#

Yeah I'm definitely a binge watcher

#

I never watched TV shows back in the day because I didn't like waiting til the next week to get the next episode

cobalt seal
#

well

#

it's supposed to be a 2024 s5 release

warm plinth
#

what the

lusty tiger
#

@patent osprey ret thought he had a chance

#

69% banner uptime overall

#

im not very good at solving the maze ):

warm plinth
#

Why are you solving the maze as the tank

lusty tiger
#

i was asking them to but the group couldnt figure it out

warm plinth
#

Oh dear

lusty tiger
#

my warrior brain can only handle so much

warm plinth
#

I'd suggest getting the auto solver, After the first 2-3 rooms it shows you where the next exit is in each room

#

So at the very least you only have to do it a couple of times

lusty tiger
#

it's all ogre now

#

tomorrow i never see mists again

Well, until they stick it in the Dragonflight rotation.

Hey all, new to protection warrior! Enjoying it so far! But a few probably dumb questions:

  1. The two mobs before first boss in mist, I learned you can spell reflect one of their spells… But does it make them take damage for standing in the shit on ground? Because gtfo addon still goes “err err”
  2. Does rotation get more “fluid” with gearing?
  3. Switched to necrolord, aggro is shit but defensive stonks! But is there a priority spell to spam, when banner is up?
sweet summit
#
  1. does not do damage back to the mobs so no point standing in it
  2. it gets very fast and fluid once you get tier and double legendary as necro
  3. necro owns very hard gladge basically SS>TC>revenge, but top priority should be to avoid overcapping rage so you're going to be using ignore pain a lot in between all other buttons
atomic matrix
#
  1. Fuck I’m a dumbass, been standing in it all day
  2. I have both 😦 trinkets a shield etc is shit tho? Usually I get what I feel is good uptime with avatar, so lot of rage, but sometimes I rage starve? But tbh think I might overlap ignore pain a lot
  3. Should I always have a shield block saved up? Or just use sb —> sb?
#

And ty for the answers gladge

#

Btw so the spear furry? Or what it’s called in the maze, when I spell reflect it, should I still not be standing in it?

sweet summit
#
  1. unlucky
  2. other than what i mentioned, there's not a lot to make it feel better other than getting haste items i guess. if you rage starve you should charge weave more often, huge value to do so. you really really really don't care about overcapping ignore pain, but any rage wasted is less uptime on banner, less cdr from anger management and less healing from indomitable so it is crucial to get used to spending before it is too late
  3. depends, i prefer holding a charge for when the buff is about to expire

spear flurry is the same thing, it's a deflect so does not do damage back to the mob. there's a spreadsheet pinned which contains reflectable and blockable spells https://tinyurl.com/ReflectGuide. gets updated every season too (thanks sense love u big time)

atomic matrix
sweet summit
#

oh it definitely is a lot more work than other tanks, but goddamn it's worth it peepoHappy

#

And yeah, I’m not using the legendary enough, and I know it… But usage have gotten better!

Did you get pinged Deswind?

usually if you're in the channel that you're pinged in

brittle owl

it doesnt play the sound

jagged pier

also theres a setting to not get the full notification

Just makes it confusing because Vil is a mod and if you tag boomer, he might mistakenly try to find what's wrong. And then you'll get banned.

hi guys, quike question. How mutch Uptime on SB u have in a normal M+ run. Lets say around 20. ATM im around 65% . Not sure if i have Intervine Charge mor often...

sweet summit
#

we don't really care about % uptime

#

the important bit is blocked hits %

#

which you can only see in logs

#

<@&257983573498265600>

#

so you want to log your runs

#

a good benchmark is like 80-85% blocked its

twin brook
#

when i understand it right it comes to the same result?! When i have highe uptime on SB (infight) then shoulde be the blocked amount high? Or did u use no SB on Caster heavy pulls?

sweet summit
#

almost, but not exactly

#

having SB up wile kiting/getting hit in the back etc doesn't do anything

#

so effective uptime AKA blocked hits

#

is ** the** metric

ahhh now i get it.
