Prot feels very nice in keys, haven't raided yet on it

#

Felt better than my 280 bdk

vapid lynx
#

Feels good to me, the comments from my friends last night on the first? Iirc boss of grimrail when he enrages after you kill the goblin? My buddy was like pop a defensive here and I’m just like orrrrrr I could just keep SB and take negative damage 🤣

#

I've played ALL tank specs, but not prot warrior. What spec does prot warrior feel the closest to? I really wanna learn it 🙂

vapid lynx
#

Felt pretty good need to work on my banner uptime on some of the fights though I let it fall

#

Idk feels different to all of em imo

lusty tiger
#

How well should I know the bosses if I want to do the heroic raid?

drifting fable
#

id watch the fights and know your mechanics for sure. no reason to not know what youre doing on the fight

charred idol
drifting fable
#

can listen to whoever is leading for other call outs

lusty tiger
drifting fable
#

nah not unless you need the loot

#

the scaling isnt that hard

minor helm
#

No raids easy

lusty tiger
#

In 273 now

minor helm
#

But knowing the mechanics will make it infinitely easier

drifting fable
#

we ran normal last night to gear up some people who didnt play s3 and they were paper

vapid lynx
#

Yeah it felt really easy tbh even on heroic especially with the affix stuff

minor helm
#

You could kill mythic bosses in like 265 gear right now

drifting fable
#

mechanics will still 1 shot if no one does them but dps should be no issue

#

we got the damn council bug last night with a dance during boss mechanics tho

#

healers managed it cuz it was only normal tho keks

vapid lynx
#

We stopped pulling sire last night because even though I had aggro of him he would randomly fire the frontal in P1 in different directions

#

It was very weird and like he’d still be facing me too it would just come out his side etc

minor helm
bold nimbus
#

Havent even entered the raid weird was havin fun in m+

#

Raid is great but that depends on group like my guild went in smashed hc and first 4 on mythic no big issues just chill and fun

#

What raiding should be imo

We had ppl that handt done the boss inculding a tank

#

Took a few attempts

topaz field
#

ye thats normal i guess

jagged pier

But that boss is much more on tanks for the correct positions etc

#

Y’all making me want to find a guild and raid critcake

topaz field
#

but if ppl are willing and able to learn its fine

So if you havent done or dont know gunna be an issue

Hi Mates 🙂 how u manage high uptime on your banner. I saw some logs ( all about M+) where people have >90% uptime on it. I come to 45-55 % atm. Is there a trick outside of dumping Rage?

quaint glade
#

Everyone is saying raiding is so chill now

jagged pier
topaz field
#

like its said so often here but go to a target dummy and practice it

jagged pier
lusty tiger
#

So hard to find a guild for some reason

jagged pier
#

No theres a huge tank shortage for once

quaint glade
jagged pier
#

U dont need haste

vernal vale

Play is far far more important

wraith hound

its kinda hard to keep up your banner on 120 ping. still learning

quaint glade
jagged pier
#

👀

vernal vale
#

Depends on what kind of guild your after too.

#

Lots of guilds mostly taking this tier off as well.

#

They are just rolling through heroic for slime cat and calling it a day.

drifting fable
# twin brook Hi Mates 🙂 how u manage high uptime on your banner. I saw some logs ( all abou...
  1. spend rage. revenge primarily and IP exclusively to not overcap or if you have a ton of rage coming in
  2. run Unnerving Focus, only use Last Stand as an offensive that gives more rage to you. only use it during banner as well
  3. run booming voice. it will help you alot.
  4. charge+intervene as much as you can, when you can
  5. outburst proc 99% of the time on Shield Slam only. in AOE or if you have no options you can thunder clap
jagged pier
#

This is literally the perfect time to trial ppl tbh

vernal vale

Went from barely 20 on the roster to 30

Alliance you will probably struggle

quaint glade
#

Yeah but I was guildless since SOD so kinda lost rn lmao

minor helm
#

It’s not even an issue if your cross faction

quaint glade
#

Will check wowprogress for some guilds perhaps one might give a chance

minor helm
#

Check warcraftlogs and raider io they both have recruitment tabs now and they’re pretty good

vernal vale
wild hemlock
#

but you cant really think of spending resources as SOTR per say if that makes any sense

#

it feels kinda like pally but it aint pally

Ehh

#

😅 Hehe I'll give it a try. Making a new toon and play prot all the way up

strong forum
#

Prot changes drastically at level 60 with 4p2l

You need to charge weave alot aswell as manage 3 resources

Outburst, Banner and Rage

charred idol
#

I was certain Blood dk was the way, but tier bonuses made it way too dull for me :p

strong forum
#

Ya alot of people see it like that

#

Good but boring

wild hemlock
#

they ruined blood dk 😦

#

and kept the play style for DF 😦

charred idol
#

Also, I saw from the alpha talents they kinda kept it

strong forum
#

You won't see nearly as much uptime on DRW

#

It'll just be a strong CD

#

But uptime will be cut more than in half

wild hemlock

you guys all taking haste?

Ofc

wild hemlock

i have 36% haste base still take it?

The more haste you have baseline, the better the affix haste gets

Hell yeah brüther

I’m gonna demand pi for execute phase

By banner time improved a lot switching to booming

marsh aurora
#

well yeah but isn't it like a big loss on dps ?

vernal vale
#

No

#

It's a small loss on aoe

lusty tiger
#

Seeming no if you use ds off cd

vernal vale
#

But nothing major if your playing well.

marsh aurora
#

ok 'i lltry that :phew:

strong forum
#

banner uptime > revenge dmg

vernal vale
#

Single target booming has always been the play I believe.

marsh aurora
#

started playing prot again, didn't touch it much last season

sick sentinel

is codex bad for prot warrior?

strong forum

yes

ye booming sims better on ST

# topaz field 90 % of the trash in JY is free

i somehow ended up with perfect count and did only 1 weird pull before the duo boss, didn't know the big affix guy was in there so the triple pull went wrong, but i could win a lot of time just moving around the dungeon better

topaz field
#

@marsh aurora especially on tyra i wouldnt bother too much even if u ninja pull u just kill everything

drifting fable
#

theres a ton of trash at the end if you are under kinda like mists

topaz field
#

eventuall u notice that 2 - 3 mobs are inefficient count

#

that u preferably skip

#

scrapbots for exmaple

#

are bad

#

for melee players

#

u wanna skip them if possible

#

u can mostly walk around them

strong forum
#

the scrapbots are insanely dangerous

#

not only to melee

marsh aurora
#

are those the spinny guys ?

strong forum
#

no wait

#

i mean the big coil spidertank

topaz field
#

ye the spinners

strong forum
#

the scrapbots are w/e

topaz field
#

the coil spidertank is the other

#

the scrapbots are just inefficient

#

and need a kick which is kinda yikes on this week

#

because they heal to full otherwise

marsh aurora
#

yeah i had a double scrapbot pull that seemed to take a while for nothing

strong forum
#

nothing in JY is inspired

#

which is kinda funny

#

only a few mobs at gunker

topaz field
#

there were a couple at trixie too

strong forum
#

and like 2 at naeno and trixy

how much should I abuse reprisal in M+, I have trouble playing around it and I feel I should almost intervene on CD outside of Ravager for rage and block ? I was 3200 Brew in S3 and just switched to prot to try something different and I'd like to reach around the equivalent level on S4 with warrior

undone verge
#

does the heal an ally under 50% health proc work on ourselves?

topaz field
#

@marsh aurora routing in Yard should always be around how to get 5 shock bots asap

strong forum
marsh aurora
topaz field
#

this week for exampel u go gunker first

#

if u climb the mountain u have 2 shockbots

snow brook
#

Should shield block be almost 100% with the leggo ?

strong forum
#

not 100% but close

#

this is my reprisal + intervene usage in grimrail

#

i had 83% blocked hits

snow brook
#

ok that's a lot more than what I do, that helps a lot thanks

strong forum
#

which is pretty much expected value of reprisal

urban portal
#

Should you try to get out of the fire frontal or just soak it

strong forum
#

you can go above 85% but you need NUTTY reprisal usage

urban portal
#

And point it the other way

strong forum
#

like god tier

snow brook
#

Aight that gives me something to aim for

strong forum
#

i also had 88.88% banner uptime there, i didnt bother bannering 2nd boss 2nd phase cuz that shit doesnt matter

vernal vale
marsh aurora
#

86% mitigation of melees

vernal vale
#

I'm normally 70% banner because I'm bad but Nom is right you can get it up a lot if you make good use of your abilities and chain pull.

strong forum
#

the 86% mitigated counts IP as mitigation

marsh aurora
#

IP is a mitigation oh

#

ok

#

makes sense

#

used to just ironfur uptime

vernal vale
#

Yeah, mitigation should be high overall

#

Uptime on shield block is irrelevant.

#

You are seeing how many things you blocked

marsh aurora
#

by uptime i mean

#

% mitigation

#

i could shield block between pulls for high uptime 😄

drifting fable
#

uptime on SB is not as important as your blocked hits with it

#

smart usage is better than just using it on CD

#

alot of time you still will use it on CD of course

#

but try to be getting meleed at least

marsh aurora
#

also, why does this guy have shield block as n1 damage ?

#

is this the regular dps repartition ?

drifting fable
#

which are you referring to…?

topaz field
#

u mean SS?

marsh aurora
#

the link i posted above

#

i meant

#

shield slam

#

not block

#

obv

topaz field
#

ye

marsh aurora
#

i'm just dumb

topaz field
#

because he wants banner uptime

strong forum
#

cuz its supposed to be #1 dmg

topaz field
#

thats what the ppl here are saying 24/7

marsh aurora
#

ok i'm doing everything wrong !

strong forum
#

this is my r1 dmg log

drifting fable
#

you want to SS whenever its up

#

every time

topaz field
#

dont play with fire and use SS especially on outburst

marsh aurora
#

even if i do ss on cd revenge is still higher, but i wasn't using booming so maybe

minor helm
strong forum
#

?

minor helm
strong forum
#

it doesnt show on logs you dingus

drifting fable
#

in dungeons your revenge casts can still be higher

strong forum
#

i had 14.1k dps without weapons

#

with weapons i was at 16k

marsh aurora
#

oh your thunder clap is also a lot lower than mine, i guess i'm doing everything wrong

drifting fable
#

thunder clap is a literal filler spell in your rotation. cant hit SS? no rage for revenge? i have no outburst? then TC

vernal vale
marsh aurora
#

this is my gambit damage, i press clap on cd

#

needless to say this was low dps

drifting fable
#

TC should never be more than SS

strong forum
vernal vale
#

Definitely too much TC

marsh aurora
#

147 TC for 191 SS woops

strong forum
#

thats my gambit

drifting fable
#

thats true nom.

strong forum
#

15k dps

drifting fable
#

you are also probably using outburst on TC too much

#

with that kind of damage

strong forum
#

100%

drifting fable
#

and obv not hitting SS enough

strong forum
#

not paying attention to it

marsh aurora
#

ok i spam tc too much and i'm probably using it on outburst

atomic matrix
#

What would be a good banner uptime % at the end of a key? Atm sitting at 48% peepo

strong forum

80%+++

vernal vale
#

Yeah, you can check your outburst uses too with logs

strong forum
#

the more banner the better

marsh aurora

yeah i'll log my next runs so i can improve on that

my best was 99.99 seanbee but thats a bit overkill

the log thingy is not me

cobalt seal

I was talking about nome logs

#

you answered with that

drifting fable
#

i was never talking to you homie

#

like ever

marsh aurora
#

also yeah, not dying at all, but low dps hurts

drifting fable
#

if you arent running Unnerving Focus and using Last Stand as a purely offensive rage CD, + booming voice, those are a great first step to improving the uptime

marsh aurora
#

ahem

#

in ST my banner is fading with 1 minute cd left

drifting fable

marsh aurora

so thank you for the video

oblique garnet
marsh aurora

and it makes me realize all you need is a 1 button macro hehe

#

cause for me to pop all of this

#

i'm already 5 gcds in

drifting fable
#

just curious from your perspective after watching that video, what do you think you were doing extremely wrong?

marsh aurora
#

last stand as an offensive

drifting fable
#

wondering what would be best to tell newbies.

marsh aurora
#

wasn't doing that

drifting fable
#

ah ya thats a big one

marsh aurora
#

aswell as using TC when i could just revenge and weave IPs

drifting fable
#

on blizzard tbh for making it seem like a fake defensive

oblique garnet
marsh aurora
#

and using revenge over shield slam instead of dumping rage on ip

brittle owl
#

he has an on pull macro

#

for multiple buffs

marsh aurora
#

the macro is

#

banner avatar last stand

#

and eventually a trinket

drifting fable
#

pretty good idea tbh

#

for a pull macro

marsh aurora
#

pops it during charge

topaz field
#

be true to yourself

#

u can do it completely without that macro

marsh aurora
#

while i'm trying to generate threat before i banner

topaz field
#

xD

drifting fable
#

you sure can

topaz field
#

the fucking macro is the solution to u guys playing it wrong

vernal vale
#

Yeah I copied @chrome falcon for the macro I hadn't thought about it but Damm is it easier

drifting fable
#

but why press many button when few button do trick

brittle owl
#

i don't like on pull macros because it's one extra keybind to adress an issue that can be solved with just making better binds

drifting fable
#

why is it playing wrong

#

to use a macro

#

?

brittle owl
#

also you run the risk of popping it at the wrong time

vernal vale
#

Put it on a keyring you don't use often.

#

It's for pull only

strong forum
drifting fable
#

yeah with that macro specifically i dont see any problem if you use it correctly

#

there are some very bad macros yes

brittle owl
#

does he have that big D attenborough flow

drifting fable
#

i dont think thats one of them

marsh aurora
topaz field
#

i did not say the macro is wrong please read accordingly

#

but if u think not having the macro was the reason for your low banner uptime you are high

you can play BSC in m+, technically its more aoe dmg

and better boss dmg

4 piece

You can farm flux from torghast iirc

uneven wagon

thorghast flux is ass

vernal vale

#

i figure i'll boost a dh or druid

marsh aurora
#

just do lfg / normal raids

drifting fable
#

raid bosses are dropping it right? cant remember how much but its not insignificant iirc

marsh aurora
#

raid bosses are a big flux source

uneven wagon
#

also what's the recharge thing on the mythic set converter machine?

marsh aurora
#

especially since nathria will have upgrades for most players even in normal mode

sick sentinel
#

i have a lvl 43 druid and 40 DH, so i'll send them to my main alliance server and boost a druid or dh

drifting fable

Can i run aegis + splintered heart or is that not offensive enough ?

uneven wagon

cool thanks

vernal vale

No way you use all your creation charges unless you just waste them.

sick sentinel
#

you guys say druid is better than dh overall? all specs really

marsh aurora
#

druid is in the dumpster right now

drifting fable
#

i would get your 4 piece, then you can sit on flux if you want to save it for a better tier piece to convert

#

if you get like a tertiary or smth

marsh aurora
#

not a doomer druid main btw

uneven wagon
#

yeah i got the 4 piece

i now have 3.5k flux oopsie

LFR is 2k, NM is 2K

that conduit upgrade thing is definitely worth the flux right

Oh… so you just get out if you’re on it and it’s a healer mechanic?

https://youtu.be/WG8aMkCE5j0?t=227 wait what was this back to back outburst ? is that how much rage you can generate ?

If your mouse and keyboard aren't this loud, you're doing it wrong.

Plenty of mistakes and missed shield slams in this video but just goes to show you don't need to be remotely perfect to maintain uptime.

you can often get 2 natural outbursts back to back

on average you get outburst every 10-15 seconds

prot war is a lot harder than any tanks out there

it is

on average most do. its not like blizzard really helps you out at all

Its like 90cpm played properly

the only real pain is

that IP is on a 1sec CD

marsh aurora

i did 90 cpm but it's all on thunder clap :worry:

thats too big of a CD

i wish IP CD was lower

yeah it feels like a gcd

does it get reduced with haste ?

no

marsh aurora

also, i'm not sure i want to venture into the dragonflight discussion as i'm just learning the SL version of it, but are the talents looking good so far ?

drifting fable

looking like one of the best specs in DF atm

marsh aurora

alright !

strong forum

yea

#

pwar looks leagues ahead of other tanks

drifting fable
#

until we get fun policed sadga

#

but ill just hope that never happens

strong forum
#

nah

#

thats the wrong way

#

they should instead change other tanks

#

cuz the other tanks have alot of "well what can i avoid"

#

whereas pwar is "what the fuck can i get"

drifting fable
#

for sure. buff should always be the first step over a nerf

#

buff the other stuff up i should say

ocean yoke

blood looks nice at least with getting so many resources/throughput from class tree but im not a blood expert by any means

sick sentinel
#

are 0's harder?

strong forum
#

than in s3, yes

sick sentinel
#

i mean, not that they WERE

#

but, harder relative

strong forum
#

30% harder than in s3

sick sentinel
#

so, 3% overall lol

strong forum
#

no i mean literally

sick sentinel
#

still just tickles eh?

strong forum
#

they have 30% more HP and deal 30% more DMG compared to s3

#

thats always how it works, but yes m0s tickle

marsh aurora
#

you get 262 from 0s ?

drifting fable
#

if youre coming in with s3 gear there is 0 chance its noticable lmao

sick sentinel
#

yeah, i'll get some kinda key done this week, not promising it will be on time or high key (10/15) or nothin

#

i'd like to run top zero or low for a chance or weapons (2h, dos also drops weapons, cant think of rest)

marsh aurora

i'm at 270 and the 10s i've done so far on prot war don't hit harder than 13s did

ya tanks feel super sturdy in s4

dont run top

its gone

nah not yet

not gettting crest with dinars ? the one from sepulcher ?

honestly sigil is a valid contender IMO

isn't vulpera the play ?

its a much harder drop to get

is that a non troll ?

wait, were do i go to run a 0 to get a keystone

drifting fable
#

races dont matter

coarse magnet
#

like vulp for reals

drifting fable
#

they have a good tanking passive yes

marsh aurora
#

races don't matter that much and if you're horde vulpera has the best tanking passive but

drifting fable
#

but if you dont like how they look thats worse

coarse magnet
#

better than stomp ?

marsh aurora
#

realistically if you were to run m+ at a tryhard level you would go alliance and play dwarf

drifting fable
#

true

marsh aurora
#

if you're not doing that, then race doesn't really matter

coarse magnet
#

i plan on being on a tryhard level

#

i dunno my friend was the 36th warr in the world m+

#

was not dward

drifting fable
#

vulp for horde, dwarf for ally

#

if you wanna min max race

marsh aurora
#

oh when i say tryhard level i mean

#

mdi type of thing

#

not

#

25 to 28

#

kind of keys

coarse magnet

ah ok yea

#

not mdi-ing

#

but 25-30s

sick sentinel

i think i can run tazavesh 0 and get a key at EOD right?

drifting fable

you should be able to get a key from tahsup

#

or the vault

grave crane

lower kara is kinda weird those ghost people can kinda slap hard. also the flame throwers in grimrail depot hurt so dont stand in them

unless its some alt from seasons ago

just didnt do a vault last week

drifting fable

tahsup will give you one then

the keystone dropper dude

every pug ive taken through lower has had 1 person at least die to the ghosts that explode on death

like cmon fellas weird

same thing in mecha

fuggin remos

i explained the slime boss to some dudes in junkyard. everyone got slimed and i was the only one up. wiped it up and just left

just stand on the robot idk why that one is so hard lol

sick sentinel

fun times ahead

grave crane
#

like get out of green free robot stand in blue

#

but no one even soaked the trogg boss blue so i was just solo tanking that and a shitload of mobs like guys come on now

sick sentinel

just self and command team to dumpster the inspired dude - > healer/caster eh? can't be that hard ig

vocal cave
#

can you tell in advance where lightning patches will appear on last boss grimrail?

drifting fable
#

consensus seems to be no

vocal cave

cool mm+ boss

drifting fable

kinda just have to be proactive and healer laps it up

grave crane

i couldnt and just moved around a lot

looking forward to grevious weeks

i swear you used to be able to watch the rylakk but could just be misremembering. it surely doesnt work now tho

wraith hound

reprisal is still the to go legendary right?

sick sentinel
#

yes

#

forever and always seemingly

marsh aurora
#

depot is pain i cleared gambit and got depot 16, haven't logged back in onto druid since

sick sentinel
#

being turned into shield charge in DF maybe

drifting fable
sick sentinel
#

from what i've heard shield charge will effectively replace reprisal

wraith hound
#

I see

#

well since I have reprisal on legs

sick sentinel
#

feet

wraith hound
#

gonna make another one for boots rn

grave crane
#

i wouldnt worry about that honestly unless your just flush with gold and dont care

sick sentinel
#

feet is a more safe craft, im a simple guy, i like unity on belt for everyone

drifting fable
#

yeah if you have the resources go for it. leggos will be good until you want to move them for better stats on your other gear

#

leggos will go to the lowest stat budget items

#

but that only really matters once youve out ilvled them

sick sentinel
#

is there another increase to ilvl of leggos?

drifting fable
#

nope

#

291 all day

sick sentinel
#

i don't think SL crafting was entirely bad, but man....

drifting fable
#

no the legendary system was IMO fairly well done except for the memories being locked behind dumb stuff

#

like time gated torghast memories

#

fuck that

#

and the original method of torgy running in S1 was also kinda ass

grave crane
#

i think it was an unneccesary gold sink that keeps people from testing thigns out or trying them

drifting fable

beat the hell out of season 1 of leagion tho

this makes me want to re-roll dh

is there some sort of hammer tech on first boss workshop, other than just hit boss 3x?

topaz field
drifting fable
#

true i never said the legendaries themselves were good and balanced

#

but i didnt hate crafting

topaz field
#

i find it just sad that there was hardly any tuning

drifting fable
#

same man

topaz field
#

because a lot of legos have potential i think

drifting fable
#

so much lost potential

topaz field
#

ye

drifting fable
#

ya

#

same reason they probably wouldnt let us use any double leggos. they dont want to put in the work to balance

#

of those ones anyways

cinder storm
drifting fable
#

oh really are you supposed to kite that guy more

topaz field
#

all dps and u want to stack

cinder storm
#

As for a "hammer tech" the hammer damage calculates how many things are alive under it, if player + adds are under it, it calculates more damage

topaz field
#

because every person increases the dmg the hammer does

drifting fable
#

ive just been dumping the shields ASAP

#

ah

#

so you follow the tank around then?

topaz field
#

ehm not rlly

#

the 4 dps should bait on one hammer

#

and just perma stand there

drifting fable
#

ooo gotcha

topaz field
#

because their dmg is irrelevant compared to hammer

#

if you have hunter mage they even should immune during intermission

#

so the tank doesnt move

#

the tank boss

drifting fable
#

interesting. lot more to that fight than i thought

#

thanks

topaz field
#

and iirc u want to stack 5 ppl for the last hammer

cinder storm
#

Make sure to taunt the car after the fight starts or whenever you can, there's a small chance it can lose aggro and melee one dps

#

Its small chance but annoying

urban bane
#

Does spell reflect negate the vampiric claws or w/e from the nathrazoomers?

cinder storm
#

Yes

urban bane
#

sick. i heard it proccing from it but wasnt sure if it prevented the heal

cinder storm
#

Just for that pwar will probably rise this season

#

It's such a nice time save

marsh aurora
#

what does it do exactly

#

does it just negate the healing ?

cinder storm
#

Yes

marsh aurora
#

i don't see in on my details so i'm assuming it doesj ust that

#

oh yeah

#

makes sense

topaz field
drifting fable
#

does it break the hammer for the boss fight?

cinder storm
#

No

drifting fable
#

sick

topaz field
#

no only the steel boss

cinder storm
#

Only breaking the plating does

topaz field
#

he has 4 stacks of steel armor

#

or w/e its called

#

and each stack breaks one hammer

drifting fable
#

think he only has 3 but youd just use the last one for dps right

topaz field
#

thats why u can also perma hammer the fire tank boss

#

could also be 3 ye

cinder storm
#

It really pains me the boss is not getting stunned, hope they fix that

drifting fable
#

assuming it used to be that way in bfa?

cinder storm
#

It was a nice visual indicator

#

It was that way in bfa

marsh aurora
#

any boes that look BiS btw ?

sage remnant
#

Are we taking mastery or vers?

drifting fable
#

uh

#

haste

sick sentinel
#

yes, u can get big damage if u jebaited the boss 1 work into hammers

drifting fable
#

assuming you mean the shrouded affix

odd tree
#

i took crit last night, felt ok

#

was at 22% parry

drifting fable
#

crit is probably ok

#

but at a higher key id just do haste all the time

sage remnant
#

i tried mastery it felt like doodoo

drifting fable
#

because it is doo doo

odd tree
#

super doodoo

drifting fable
#

by FAR out worst stat

sick sentinel
#

basically everyone stacks near hammer and you want the drill to run at wall while you have the spin guy there too, both get hi, only 1 shot at the hammer it breaks after

drifting fable
#

and we get a shit ton from banner already

#

so kinda trolling if you take mastery

sage remnant
#

oh true

sick sentinel
#

so you go to next and i think there is 4 in total, but if you can get all them off makes the fight a joke

marsh aurora
#

pre nerf vers would be kreygasm

odd tree
#

also tried haste in a run, was sitting at 60% without my ows

drifting fable
#

yeah that shit was busted tho

#

the 2% vers

urban portal
#

2% vers is so discusting

sick sentinel
#

crit gets turned into parry which gets turned into revenge procs

drifting fable
#

i like crit cuz damage okayge

urban portal
#

crit % does not turn into parry

marsh aurora
#

is anyone even picking vers now

#

like any class ?

urban portal
#

and more parry does not turn into more revenge

urban portal
#

or if you really need it to live

#

its not class specific

#

probably key specific

odd tree
marsh aurora
#

i meant

#

is it bis for any class

odd tree
#

monk?

marsh aurora
#

cause i run vers in 75% of my dungeons across all chars

urban portal
#

its not bis

marsh aurora
#

just bc i don't talk to the guy

urban portal
#

2% crit def does more damage than 1% vers

sick sentinel
#

ah right, its just stat, you guys are talking about the buff you get from killing shrouded mobs?

urban portal
#

even on monk

#

yes

marsh aurora
#

i think monk would go crit

#

2% would be different but

#

they nerfed the fun out of the game

drifting fable
#

everyone would take vers if it was 2%

#

no that was insane

urban portal
#

and vers is not fun

#

it doesnt interact w kit in anyways

#

it just made you stronger

marsh aurora
#

excuse me but my fun is in reading Details

urban portal
#

2% crit would also be about the same

sick sentinel
#

what about delete versa and then versa is mastery

urban portal
#

for most specs

timber nest
#

Anyone have a MDT for workshop?

sick sentinel
#

if its still the same as BFA those squirrel bombs are group deleters

topaz field
#

yes

#

shockwave them

#

or have a priester MC them

#

and enjoy free elo

sick sentinel
#

i think theres loads of CC you can do on them but idea is to have the other player seperate and make it explode then that player rejoins

2 minute tank guide on youtube

that website is nice. lot of stuff pertinent to each fight they point out for each tank at the bottom

limpid pawn

in keys what stat we taking

#

versE?

drifting fable

haste

denathrius is probably the most involved fight for tanks

everyone else is just swap swap, and occasionally one tank runs away

vernal vale

you dont

neon fossil

Okay

sage remnant

theres no such thing

neon fossil

86% haste was a little too much

nah

this class wants as much rage as humanly possible

bronze latch

stop complaining juicy, it was fine 😛

drifting fable

haste helps

neon fossil

I was 34% static, Into the Fray and then the haste buff.

drifting fable

well dont run itf in keys

cinder storm
#

why are you running into the fray?

drifting fable
#

first of all

lusty tiger
#

Woah

neon fossil
#

Testing

bronze latch
#

just testing 😛

drifting fable
#

you wont get max value on itf 100% of the time like you do in raid

#

ravager is better for snap aggro

lusty tiger
#

In raid I’m going to be at like 47% passive haste w fray

urban portal
#

Ravager also just does more damage

neon fossil
#

Yea, I feel that too.

hazy edge
#

Ravager does more damage and is more rage gen on 3+ targets on top of being good for threat

neon fossil
#

When I was running itf I was randomly dropping aggro like before the tank threat buff.

drifting fable
#

ravager is nice but you can hold aggro without it

#

revenge for days

neon fossil
#

One of the only times I needed to drop a CS in there.

limpid pawn

for dragonflight are we getting reprisal as a talent?

strong forum

we are but its a shitty version and not worth the points

very good for dmg

no you run away with that

no

#

walk it out

drifting fable

far from the raid

lusty tiger

But only the OT gets it?

drifting fable
#

its whoever gets shared desires or w/e its called when the 1st jar is 66% or higher

#

the tank debuff

lusty tiger
#

So that is the taunt swap then?

drifting fable
#

yes

lusty tiger
#

Ok

drifting fable
#

on normal i never saw that mechanic btw

#

just a heads up

#

just because we blew past the first two jars

#

before they filled at all

lusty tiger
#

Yea if the trial is ok mythic is Saturday, so I’m trying to layer it all really quickly in my brain. Read guide -> watch vids -> do full normal run -> pass heroic trial Friday -> mythic trial Saturday

drifting fable
#

fair enough, yeah heroic these mechanics will probably happen

urban portal
#

study up on huntsman

#

lol

#

dont get stuck on 2nd boss

bold nimbus
urban portal

its pretty tank intensive

drifting fable

true that was the other one i forgot about
