#

How much we need to hit buttons

warm plinth
#

The best tier was no tier.

uneven wagon
#

I feel like other classes don't hit buttons this much

chrome falcon
#

you feel correctly

modern brook
#

talent and alcohol

chrome falcon
#

APART FROM COMBAT ROGUE APPARENTLY WHO NEED LIKE 90-100CPM

#

but other than that

#

we need to hit far more buttons than every other tank

warm plinth
#

Sir we are outlaw rogues

uneven wagon
#

Wtf is combat rogue

warm plinth
#

Combat is dead

chrome falcon
#

shut the fuck up zoomers

#

the classic player is talking

uneven wagon
#

Have you ever played outlaw rogue

warm plinth
#

Lmfao

#

I main outlaw rogue. Have the entire expansion

uneven wagon
#

It's like

#

Crack when you hit those 5 buffs

pallid quiver
#

i saw there for a second, just wondering, "what do you mean combat's dead?"

modern brook
pallid quiver
#

i completely forgot

#

damn my hip

uneven wagon
#

You just go like onyeah big boy mode

#

11353461323646

#

Plus you just pull out a gun and shoot things

#

Damn I should play outlaw rogue

warm plinth
#

I play kyrian dust too so I have to do crack right before I do keys to keep up with it

uneven wagon
#

What covenant do they use

warm plinth
#

Venthyr mostly right now

uneven wagon
#

Ok cool

#

Pirate vampire

#

Dude imagine being a warlock summoning demons being evil

warm plinth
#

I just haven't swapped over yet to a different Lego

uneven wagon
#

And you have to join the fairies

warm plinth
#

But pwar was my love in Legion and BFA. Just don't like reprisals dumb ass

modern brook
uneven wagon
#

I was so upset when kyrian was bis in 9.0

modern brook
#

every other class in the game has some kind of magic or supernatural force they crutch on

#

warrior just hits stuff and is mad

uneven wagon
#

Shield? Healing?

#

No

#

Ignore pain

#

Wait I made a meme for this a long way back maybe I posted it here

chrome falcon
#

i shall simply disregard the pain and move on with my day sir

modern brook
#

no need for wow, im a prot warrior irl :"(

uneven wagon
#

Found it

chrome falcon
#

?

#

this guy just whipped out an 18 month old meme

#

right off the dome

#

took him 0.1 seconds

#

impressive

uneven wagon

Gcd :(

uneven wagon
#

What if I just don't have a bind for banner and I put that macro from your vid on that bind instead

#

@chrome falcon

chrome falcon
#

that's fine

#

honestly

#

lazy but fine

uneven wagon
#

This sounds like a good idea in my head so it's probably not

#

O

#

Cool

chrome falcon
#

you're going to want to avatar with it always anyway

#

or LS with it anyway

#

i see no downside to incidentally popping avatar or LS at the same time

#

other than overlapping outbursts

uneven wagon
#

What if I just unbind LS and avatar xeos

oblique garnet
#

🤡

chrome falcon
#

use your heckin' mouse wheel bud

#

telling you

oblique garnet
#

Theres no way you have run out of binds

chrome falcon
#

mouse wheel binds are my absolute favourites

uneven wagon
#

I have run out of binds

chrome falcon
#

no you haven't

#

because you're not using your mouse wheel

uneven wagon
#

Nearly

#

Look

chrome falcon
#

heroic leap on mouse foward because it makes you go forward

#

and pummel on mouse down

uneven wagon
#

I'm not putting heroic leap on my scroll wheel

chrome falcon
#

you should

warm plinth
#

I was trying to find a meme I made back in bfa. I couldn't find it but I did get to see all the times I trolled nimchip so, worth it

oblique garnet
#

1QEZ All function binds

#

Oh thats Z

chrome falcon
#

DO YOU HAVE REVENGE

uneven wagon
#

1 is for when they remove devastator

chrome falcon
#

ON A MODIFIER?

#

MY GUY?

uneven wagon
#

Yes

oblique garnet
chrome falcon
#

that's gonna be

#

one of your two most pressed buttons

#

in a key

uneven wagon
#

Yes

pallid quiver
#

that's the most cursed thing i've seen in a while

uneven wagon
#

I also have IP on a modifier

chrome falcon
pallid quiver
#

do you have modifiers for rage spenders?

chrome falcon
pallid quiver
#

i'm actually trying to understand the thought process, since i've never seen this before

oblique garnet
chrome falcon
#

you need to have IP and revenge off modifiers

pallid quiver
#

i'm honestly curious, not like trying to shit on ya

chrome falcon
#

like actually seriously you need to move those buttons

#

you're going to break your hand

muted jolt
#

Thoughts on Enforcers Stun Grenade from Iron Docks??

uneven wagon
#

But I can just press shift

chrome falcon
#

not terrible cryptic

#

but definitely worse than the sod ones

muted jolt
#

yeah but better than 252 codex?

oblique garnet
muted jolt
#

thanks guys

chrome falcon
#

anything is going to be better than a 252 codex

pallid quiver
#

almost anything with str is better than a 252 codex

chrome falcon
#

never ever wear codex

chrome falcon
uneven wagon
#

I was thinking of swapping LS and SB around

muted jolt
#

This trinket has no str

chrome falcon
#

yeah but at least it's not stam

muted jolt
#

fair enough

warm plinth
#

Turtles why are you trying to give yourself carpal tunnel

uneven wagon
#

My thought process was

chrome falcon
#

wrong

pallid quiver
#

i'm half tempted to post my keybinds and get blasted for them

chrome falcon
#

your thought process was wrong

uneven wagon
#

These are kinda like modified versions of these abilities so I put them on modifiers

#

Cus like execute and shield slam are kinda similar

chrome falcon
#

that logic is about as sound as me putting taunt on t because it starts with t

#

also just put something on 1

pallid quiver
#

I can't see that because I played back when Revenge and T Clap were drastically different from each other

chrome falcon
#

now that we have confirmation of devastator in DF

pallid quiver
#

I refuse, Matta

#

Devastate forever on 1

chrome falcon
#

i don't have anything on 1

#

I HAVE DEVA ICON ON 1

#

but

pallid quiver
#

same

chrome falcon
#

i'm not in here

uneven wagon
#

Lmao

chrome falcon
#

struggling with binds

pallid quiver
#

Mine work perfectly fine for my mentally depraved self

uneven wagon
#

I'm not struggling I'm just too lazy to edit my whole HUD to add an extra 3 buttons to my rows

pallid quiver
#

I know of exactly the first bind everyone would complain about with me

warm plinth
#

Say it coward

#

Say it

uneven wagon
#

I'm surprised noones mentioned the fact that I have two binds for leap

ocean yoke
#

gotta use a different one for each charge of leaper

pallid quiver
#

i have two binds for intervene and ravager

uneven wagon
#

Is one with indicator and one without

warm plinth
#

@oblique garnet hey buddy can we have a chat about that SHIFT J KEYBIND?

uneven wagon
#

I need to redo my hud so badly

pallid quiver
#

there's mine

#

judge as you will

warm plinth
#

I am going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume everything past 6 is on a mouse button

chrome falcon
#

kick on a modifier is cursed

#

imo

mighty valley
#

my keybinds are sick

pallid quiver
#

i also have war stomp off on F, second ravager A=, second intervene CS-

mighty valley
#

but they're on default ui

uneven wagon
#

Why do you not have fleshcraft and better fleshgraft anywhere near each other

pallid quiver
#

I KNEW IT

mighty valley
#

so i'd still get roasted

chrome falcon
#

if you have to kick quickly

pallid quiver
#

Matta called exactly

chrome falcon
#

you don't want to press 2 buttons on it

pallid quiver
#

what i knew he would

chrome falcon
#

because i'm right and you

#

GODDAMN know it

pallid quiver
#

It's because it's what i put it on back in BC, so it's literally a reflex

warm plinth
#

Okay so hear me out

pallid quiver
#

I will tell anyone else to put it no modifier

uneven wagon
#

I have a macro for fleshcraft and the trinket on the same bind and I'm not even sure if it works as intended

pallid quiver
#

I have been trained from like 12 years of age that interrupt is S1

warm plinth
#

My kick is on a mouse button but my focus kick is on shift mod of that same mouse button

pallid quiver
#

Literally anything else and I freeze mad hard

chrome falcon
#

i feel you but also like

#

you can unlearn that behaviour in like

#

a day

#

i promise

pallid quiver
#

i've tried

#

for like two weeks

warm plinth
#

I would love to show my UI but I'm at work

uneven wagon
#

What's also cursed is your buttons go from top to bottom instead of bottom to top

mighty valley
#

you have to put interrupt on C. because C stands for Counterspell

pallid quiver
#

and it was so ingrained because i learned it so young

chrome falcon
#

i have it on mouse wheel down because scrolling down feels kinda like uppercutting someone

pallid quiver
chrome falcon
#

which is what pummel animation used to be

warm plinth
#

Using mouse wheel scroll for keybinds is cursed

pallid quiver
#

I actually agree with Matta that it's super solid

uneven wagon
#

Why do you have

#

I don't even know what it's called

#

Our damage buff

#

Thing

warm plinth
#

Turtles I don't know if you're allowed to make fun of anyone's bindings rn man

pallid quiver
#

The only reason I don't is because I have an MMO mouse that gives me enough buttons and that I have variable preference for zoom settings

chrome falcon
#

avatar learn the lore

uneven wagon
#

No

#

The raid buff

#

Thing

pallid quiver
#

Banner?

chrome falcon
#

are you stumbling over

uneven wagon
#

Nooo

chrome falcon
#

battle shout

uneven wagon
#

Yes

warm plinth
#

Falling cdy

chrome falcon
#

crikey

warm plinth
#

Rallying cry

pallid quiver
#

holdover from older days when you had to use it in combat

uneven wagon
#

Whatever

#

You guys are mean

pallid quiver
#

If you mean Battle Shout

uneven wagon
pallid quiver
#

S0 has been Battle Shout button for years for me

viral flume
#

This is law.

uneven wagon
#

Damn you guys are old as fuck

viral flume
#

F4 is always my raid buff

pallid quiver
#

i only started playing wow when i was 11 ;-;

warm plinth
#

Alright time to share ages

#

I'm the oldest one so I'll go last

pallid quiver
#

which was Vanilla, just before BC was out

uneven wagon
#

I am

warm plinth
#

I'm already old as fuck compared to Luerce

pallid quiver
#

You said you played during EQ days, right?

viral flume
pallid quiver
#

that was before i ever had the chance to play mmos

warm plinth
#

I played the PlayStation 2 version of EQ

uneven wagon
#

What's EQ

warm plinth
#

EQOA

pallid quiver
#

damn

warm plinth
#

EverQuest

pallid quiver
#

i'm fucking old, i know what EQ means

chrome falcon
#

27 critcake

uneven wagon
#

Holy shit

pallid quiver
#

my hips

uneven wagon
#

I feel so rejuvenated and young

chrome falcon
#

i started playing in tbc then i took a break and started playing again in 5.4 (SoO)

warm plinth
#

I just turned 34 on the 31st

chrome falcon
#

and i realised i've been playing longer After my break than before it

#

and that just hit like crazy

sick sentinel
#

im stumbling over highmountain tauren questing atm

chrome falcon
#

it's so disgusting that there has been more wow since siege of orgrimmar than before siege of orgrimmar

#

i cannot mentally process that

warm plinth
oblique garnet
#

Go on

viral flume
#

SoO is my personal fav raid, even tho ToT is a fan fav

sick sentinel
#

just start a few quests i that zone gunna have it done in a day or 2

pallid quiver
#

that hits me a lot, too, Matta

warm plinth
#

Are you actually pressing the J key

pallid quiver
#

Especially since I loved Pandaland

viral flume
#

Mop was best expansion gameplay wise and you can't change my mind

pallid quiver
#

It came out as I was finishing high school, and I got like an actual group of people to play with during then

chrome falcon
#

SoO absolute banger raid

#

solo tanking last boss

#

top dam and healing

oblique garnet
viral flume
#

Pvp, raiding, challenge modes, timeless isle, isle of thunder

warm plinth
#

MoP was my second least favorite expansion

pallid quiver
#

i was obviously too young to be accepted into raid groups vanilla time, snuck into some BT stuff when that was out

oblique garnet
#

I also spam alot of ip from 7

warm plinth
#

Why do you wanna reach across the keyboard like that man

viral flume
#

Oondasta prenerf anyone???

oblique garnet
#

I dont need to reach

warm plinth
#

Are you Andre the giant?

pallid quiver
#

does late also mmo mouse use?

chrome falcon
#

it's 4am here in britland i'm gonna bounce

#

remember kids

pallid quiver
#

because i have things on 6/7

chrome falcon
#

IP goes off modifiers

pallid quiver
#

but i cheat with an mmo mouse

chrome falcon
#

and interrupts go on mouse wheel

pallid quiver
#

Take care, Matta, enjoy sleep

oblique garnet
#

My sb is 6 ip 7

#

and no they are not in mouse

viral flume
#

Mmo mouse, ip is 0

uneven wagon
#

I was 3 when wow came out peepo

sick sentinel
#

oblique garnet
#

WASD

warm plinth
#

Okay so you are Andre the Giant. Got it

pallid quiver
#

i remember the days before having an mmo mouse

sick sentinel
#

mwd execute

viral flume
#

F is shield wall 🤦‍♂️

pallid quiver
#

i thought the real good about buttons

uneven wagon
#

Why do ppl say to unbind S

warm plinth
#

Because they're dumb

pallid quiver
#

backpedaling's for cowards

#

only advance into combat

warm plinth
#

Backpedaling has valid use in PvE

uneven wagon
#

But what if there's enemies behind and in front of you

pallid quiver
#

i legit like backpedaling

warm plinth
#

You wouldn't backpedal to fix that. You'd turn

pallid quiver
#

There shouldn't be enemies behind you unless they're not hitting you for whatever reason

viral flume
sick sentinel
#

cooldownsmore than one minute go on f1 f2 f3 f4 for me, bit more complicated than tgat but nit really

uneven wagon
#

Yeah but what if the guy in front is very big and oneshots you if you don't block

#

S op

pallid quiver
#

On a serious note, I'm like Ghash and find uses specifically for the slower movement of backpedaling

#

It also helps melee you're not communicating with realize that you're moving if that ever happens

warm plinth
#

Yeah like I'm not just trundling around holding S all the time but I backpedal enough that I notice when I take the torg power

viral flume
#

Backpedal is perfect for the tail end of a pull closing distance to next oull

pallid quiver
#

Same

oblique garnet
#

Backpedaling has uses when theres some dumb mobs that dont move unless you stutterstep next to them

uneven wagon
#

How big is the cone of things in front of you in wow

pallid quiver
#

180

#

right now, i believe

oblique garnet
#

I.e first phase in last boss of workshop

warm plinth
#

Something is 270 but I can't remember what

uneven wagon
#

So if you're strafing and an enemy is following you

warm plinth
#

Parry/dodge maybe?

sick sentinel
#

f1 f2 is suuposed to be dmg cds andthen f3 f4 is dupposed ti be dps/self utility or self reliance spell f5 f6 is for party

pallid quiver
#

Dodge, I think?

uneven wagon
#

You can't walk in a straight line you gotta face them

warm plinth
#

If you're strafing directly away from the mob, you're safe

uneven wagon
#

A little

warm plinth
#

But you wanna turn in a but to be safe

#

A bit

pallid quiver
#

You side step first, then strafe so you curve a bit to where you're going while looking, er "looking" at them the entire time

#

Is the safest way to move somewhere fast

warm plinth
#

No reason to take chances

viral flume
#

Is this tank kiting class 101?

pallid quiver
#

Yes, suddenly

uneven wagon
#

Maybe it's like revenge and it's like 240 degrees kdk

#

Idk

pallid quiver
#

Block I'm fairly certain is only 180, which means 180 for us

cunning viper
#

is junkyard 1h weapon any good?

sick sentinel
#

somebody here got one and i asked him to show us a log if he wants to

#

im just taking break off this spec while i level other crap

oblique garnet
#

We dont kite

viral flume
#

uneven wagon
#

We don't kite just charge from pack to pack

weary python
#

: Hi guys, I just came back to the game recently and I'm looking to craft reprisal, which slot is better to craft in, legs or feet?

cinder storm
#

Feet

weary python
#

Alrigh

cinder storm
#

Make your leggos your lowest stats now in s4

weary python
#

Roughly how much ash do I need?

cinder storm
#

You also need cosmic flux if you just came back, hit thorgast for a bit, there's some info about it in wow head regarding the amount you need, don't remember on top of my head

#

291 leggos were cheaper than 262

#

Haven't checked in the last two weeks

weary python
#

I got 1600 or so of that

cinder storm
#

You are going to need more if you don't have tier but it's 1200 flux iirc

weary python
#

I don't have tier.

#

Can I get tier gear from LFR if I'm just coming back?

cinder storm
#

Yes you can

weary python
#

sweet

cinder storm
#

This week you won't see much gear progression, just farm zm, lfr and 2s

sick sentinel
#

best way is get m+ gear and valor

#

use flux to turn head shoulder chest glove and leg slots to tier, which u can then spend valor on to reach wjatever new cap is

#

should be 6 ilvls higher than wnatever drops fdom 15 (+3 ilvl per keystone x2)

#

another 6 from that should be vault based on 272 v cap and 278 vault

#

@chrome falcon have a link to your outburst weak aura?

chrome falcon
#

In the pins sir

#

Think I say that in the video

warm plinth
sonic crag
#

I had a monk buddy get pants from LFR. He could not use these catalyst to convert them to tier. Is it a bug? Player error?

warm plinth
#

First two are obtained from torghast (cinders are layer 9 or higher iirc), last one is obtained by doing content in Zereth Mortis or completing raid bosses, keys, etc.

warm plinth
#

Say

sonic crag
#

It didn't shoot an error. Just opened his bag and the item was grayed out like it was ineligible to use

#

There was a hot fix for stuff so maybe that

warm plinth
#

Did he try anyway?

#

Or just gave up because it was gray. Could just be a bug with the bag addon

sonic crag
#

I'll engage again tomorrow. Thanks.

@chrome falcon what channel pins?

I like the secondary buff but then warstomp…

vernal vale
#

Tauren stun is good

weary python
#

What stats should I craft on the legendary? Haste and what other secondary?

vernal vale
#

haste verse generally haste crit if you want to just pump damage

#

haste mastery if you want to use it for fury as well

weary python
#

Ty, if I grab a 291 base item is that what I want if I don't have soul cinders for a tier 5/6?

nova rover
#

Whats good spots for legos? Still helm and boots?

Boots belt per pins

vernal vale

wrists for unity

free socket and lowest stat value so you lose the least

Oh true

#

I should re craft

novel temple

I finally did it. I kept banner up for the whole CD during an lfr raid

@vernal vale So go for a R7 that requires 5150 soul ash, 1650 soul cinders, and 2000 cosmic flux?

is there any reason to not run marileth? M+ content

There's theoretically sims that say, uh... i forget which of the two does higher ST DPS,

He's not charge weaving, not using IP

He did 5k dps on shriekwing, for example

In other news, while mashing LFR on some of my undergeared alts, I ran into a Prot Warrior tank who was, uh, Kyrian, using Storm Bolt in raid, and had Wall as their leggo of choice.

Wall in raid isn't impossible to use well and do good dps. I ran wall all last tier and consistently high 90 parsed so it is definitely viable just much more of a razor edge to losing banner

Like reprisal is over 700dps more than wall if implemented correctly

that being said, hard-wall elitism gets on me no matter what

it's why i'm so spooked of pugging half the time because even one instance ruins the time entirely

Not to mention the block uptime

o man you cant let that bother you

you are a tank

there is ALWAYS another key

Reprisal has one huge downside, it requires vastly more attention than wall so if you're raid leading its a detriment

No

the only performance anxiety i have in this game is "ah shit am i gonna pull the right amount of mobs for the key?"

because that instant tilts everyone I know if you pull even a single mob over or under percent

it is the truth that he is bad? how can u judge that after 2 days

Yes he is bad at prot warrior

topaz field

thats a ridicolous statement

chilly brook

He was never great at prot warrior at anytime when he played it

He’s a good m+ tank player though

well bfa prot warrior wasnt any skill required

apart from pressing bolster

oh i cannot die

Guys ranked number 1 in the world atm, can we honestly call him bad?

Well, he has trouble keeping up banner for even like a minute without pressure, so

yeah he's bad at prot warrior's base functions

He’s a good player

Not a good warrior

Two completely different skill sets

No one's going to say "yeah i can push higher keys than him any day"

chilly brook
#

Idk why this is a hard concept to grasp

#

Pushing keys isn’t about being good at your class

#

It’s about spending countless hours learning every single thing about the dungeon and how best to pull the dungeon to make it go fast

#

You can be great at your class and bad at m+

topaz field
#

ull get good at your class along that way

And vice versa

#

You get better at your class by looking at what you’re doing not well and fixing that problem intentionally

#

M+ doesn’t naturally force that on you

#

Because a lot of m+ from a tank perspective is your group doing well

#

You’re there to facilitate pulls that make them succeed and be efficient

#

That doesn’t always correlate to being the most efficient at pushing your own buttons

the question was "how does he get by in 27s without using SB or using reprisal"

The answer is

"healer and dps diff"

If you want to say that bfa prot was piss easy

slim zinc
#

He played vdh for a full season and was god awful at that

chilly brook
#

You literally can’t say that current prot is hard

slim zinc
#

then bear for a season and pressed 4 defensives in a full key

#

It's not new

chilly brook
#

Because the basics are pretty much the same

#

Just add more rage gen and having to charge weave

slim zinc
#

He's really good at playing dungeons, but he is horrible at rotations because he doesn't take time to actually learn what is good

chilly brook
#

Because he doesn’t need to

slim zinc
#

yeah

chilly brook
#

That’s not what makes a good m+ tank

strong forum
#

Throwback to PF32 where he pressed tombstone 5 times

chilly brook

A good m+ tank is about tracking everything else that’s going on

It’s about setting the group up for success

Not yourself

Pulling around their CDs

Doing huge pulls that make the most out of said CDs

this has probably been asked before
I have this IP bar, but it doesnt work anymore, it used to show you the maximum limit at 100% so you dont overcap, is there any weakaura that does the same but takes your max health into account?

ionic fern
#

Don't worry about overcapping IP.

#

It's not a thing.

#

Your main goal is to generate as much rage as possible without overcapping Rage.
When the class is played properly this leads to quite a lot of Ignore Pain spam which in turns means a lot of overcapping of IP. But that's fine.

#

But if you just want an updated WA then i guess you need to wait for the owner to update it (or do it yourself) or check wago for a newer one.

i wouldn't throw it away, and not by a long shot if its your highest ilvl, but use it till you get better

cuz, in BFA, when i got it, they told me replace it as soon as u can with another of same ilvl, and that shield never come
