Which is 12% vers

distant crystal
#

yeah it's just garbo

strong forum
#

for non-tanks, maybe

distant crystal
#

i get the sentiment, but ppl would be more likely to just gear full vers

#

and still take haste

strong forum
#

but itll be exclusively used to avoid 1shots

distant crystal
#

or crit if that's their best

waxen frigate
open bluff
#

if you're one shot, it's more likely a skill issue even as a non-tank

lofty widget
#

but that would be a straight rank1 key thing

waxen frigate
#

at a certain point, no

#

yea

#

i'm talking specifically bleeding edge keys

strong forum
#

yeah its not the concern of anybody here

lofty widget
#

yea

open bluff
#

bleeding edge yeah you'll take vers

waxen frigate
#

which unfortunately means dumbasses will watch streams and copy their strats

distant crystal
#

it's still just not worth though lol

waxen frigate
#

see: people using codex

open bluff
#

current key levels though, if you're getting one shot it's a skill issue

distant crystal
#

you could just gear heavy vers and it's a better tradeoff

waxen frigate
#

i agree

oblique garnet
waxen frigate
#

right now, no reason to take vers

open bluff
#

99% of kara wipes for example is due to people not knowing the dungeon

oblique garnet
#

Lost banner in the end because we stopped to ress sadga

waxen frigate
#

in lower, ya

#

upper... medivh fucking trucks if you get flame wreaths

#

and even if not

south zealot
#

is the mechagon shield that does damage even remotely worth it

lofty widget
#

medivh trucks.

lofty widget
#

everything he does

chrome falcon
south zealot
#

seems like it wont do much dps because the shield is so skall

waxen frigate
#

i think in the 20 i was trying

waxen frigate
#

it was 40k every 2sec from wreath alone

chrome falcon
#

because the absorb that reflects damage goes away instantly

waxen frigate
#

and then 20k every 2sec if you let a fire cast go off

distant crystal
#

medivh is what

#

2nd boss?

chrome falcon
#

i ran that thing for all of 8.3 because i never got a real shield

#

and often in raids it would be literal 0 damage

distant crystal
#

you're not gonna have much affix built up by then to make an appreciable difference on that fight imo

waxen frigate
south zealot
open bluff
#

medivh is the only real pain point in upper tbh, make it past him and you're home free as long as you don't fuck up viz

waxen frigate
#

including miniboss

lofty widget
waxen frigate
#

off the top of my head it's like

#

7 stacks?

#

by medivh?

open bluff
#

and yeah, in 20s on week 1 he's gonna truck

waxen frigate
#

fire cast

#

done

open bluff
#

lower levels, he's just a healer and interrupt check

lofty widget
#

yea we had shammy healer and 4 melee

#

so no kick issues

chrome falcon
#

what are you actually meant to do on the guy before medivh

waxen frigate
#

oh ya ur fine then

waxen frigate
#

oh the fire dude

chrome falcon
#

no the mob

waxen frigate
#

ya skip always

distant crystal
#

we just did it all wrong and almost wiped but overgeared it on our 16 or w/e keks

south zealot
#

the pyromancer or the charging dude

lofty widget
#

he drops aggro whenever he charges

chrome falcon
#

the charging dude

lofty widget
#

so dps wil lalways die unless you can pixel perfect taunt

chrome falcon
#

yeah i mean i can taunt him instantly but it feels like the charge alone kills people

vocal cave
#

I really cant figure out last boss in grimrail, these patches seems so random

south zealot
#

skip

waxen frigate
#

...

#

charging dude?

#

🤨

open bluff
#

take hunter, let pet bait a charge through the floor

and run past

south zealot
chrome falcon
#

boy do i have news for you

#

they're totally fucking random!

#

have fun!

south zealot

but as fight goes on it goes in extra areas

distant crystal

the patches are random, you're gonna get hit

#

just move out quickly

one of them is the 50% and the other is the 3 hit

3hit is bis

south zealot

so good

pallid quiver
#

That's a good equipment set name, Nome

cinder nova
#

Is there a resource for the breakdown on our non-tier slot catalyst items? In terms of secondaries.

#

e.g. if I get a shitty 291 belt that's mast heavy and I can turn it to haste heavy, I'd like to know without flying to ZM because I'm lazy as hell

chrome falcon
#

wowhead must have one

#

surely

sweet summit
#

cloak is crit > mast
wrist is haste > crit
belt is vers > crit
boots is vers > mast

cinder nova
#

Looks like the only one worth it is wrists

#

Do we still not have any idea where we're rebuilding leggos for ideal stats?

open bluff
cinder nova
#

I assume wrists and cloak if that's even possible

sweet summit
#

reprisal has to stay boots

south zealot
#

reprisal is boots

open bluff
#

neck/wrist for unity

#

i know wrist is free socket, not 100% on neck

sweet summit
#

neck/wrists/cloak the two former being better for free socket

cinder nova
#

Oh wait, but we want wrists if the thorns neck gets buffed, yeah?

south zealot
#

id go wrists

lofty widget
#

yea

#

if

sweet summit

extremely big if

cinder nova

Think they're just gonna leave it?

Erga owes me gold if they tune it

i dunno they fixed the thing on moroes

and that was the most disgusting mechanic visibility ever back then

so maybe they care now

i put my unity on cloak cuz wrists from CC are good

south zealot

i hate moroes

and there are no good cloaks from m+

Did sockets on items pass over in CC craft?

Isn't there a mythic cloak from SLG tho

strong forum

theres also mythic wrist from KT

#

soooo

south zealot

gottem

cinder nova
#

Do they both have the same budget?

strong forum
#

yes

south zealot
#

we dont really have a good main hand right

cinder nova
#

I think SLG cloak wasn't haste heavy and wrists were huh

sweet summit
#

the only slot we can't get 311 is belt

south zealot
#

no haste vers from last boss

cinder nova
#

Is mecha blowtorch not any good?

sweet summit
#

good on ST

strong forum
#

who cares about vers

#

KT and Rygelon weapon are bis

lofty widget
#

vers is nice, but have you seen crit?

marsh aurora
#

Pika would disagree

south zealot
#

hmm

#

fair point

desert solstice
#

Got this trinket from raid today, is it any good?

chrome falcon
#

crit is fun in lower kara

#

execute gets up to 100% crit chance

south zealot
#

if u kill the enemy you cant die

chrome falcon
#

no

desert solstice
#

I had a 265 earthbreakers from Halondrus

chrome falcon
#

i mean it's fine defensively

cinder nova
#

It's a worse BSS

marsh aurora
#

Fun and lower Kara in the same sentence

waxen frigate
chrome falcon
#

it's a decent size absorb

waxen frigate
#

50k?

cinder nova
#

And we're gonna be so chonky that BSS isn't even gonna be relative

waxen frigate
#

oh

south zealot
#

i use opc 😂

waxen frigate
#

well, 1min cd

#

but defensive trinks are crong

south zealot
#

whats bss

chrome falcon
#

scale

waxen frigate
#

scale from dos

south zealot
#

oh

waxen frigate
#

no longer really good

#

got nerfed + low ilvl

#

fell off + L + ratio

marsh aurora
#

The only defensive trinket I'd use would be aegis now that scale is gone

cinder nova
#

OWS and RDM are gonna be the generic combo probably, or OWS and Faulty if you can get it (doubt it).

strong forum
#

its not amazing

#

but if you really want a defensive trinket

marsh aurora
#

And splintered heart but that's just me

waxen frigate
#

RDM is hardly a defensive trinket tho

cinder nova
#

Otherwise you could do Aegis for M+, but I personally meh

south zealot

i use 252 segis and opc

is legion tw m+ still available?

for any tank

waxen frigate

ya i know i want one for brew

cinder nova

It's the codex codex wishes it was.

lofty widget
#

codex is good in theory, just weak af

strong forum
#

matrix is one of the best tank trinkets in the game

waxen frigate
#

it's just not that strong of a defensive trink

#

vs scale (previously) or aegis

#

imo

chrome falcon
#

youtube is taking its mf time processing this grimrail run good lord

strong forum
#

idk it can literally eat entire mechanics

#

especially on slyvanas

waxen frigate
#

ya kidna like codex

strong forum
#

and remove entire hits from jailer dot

waxen frigate
#

has some weird niche uses

#

with dots

#

same with rygelon codex

strong forum
#

except matrix does alot more dmg

waxen frigate
#

ya

strong forum

and has mainstat

mighty valley
marsh aurora
#

Matrix over aegis?

strong forum
#

which means more defensive value

#

depends

waxen frigate
#

shit idk for warrior lol

#

for brew at least it's like an 8sec (or whatever) invuln in keys

cinder nova
#

I'm not sold on aegis, but some people swear by it because they like the extra defensive.

south zealot
#

i think aegis is so good

strong forum
#

aegis is the same for warri

cinder nova
#

Still see lots of warriors climbing w/o it though

strong forum
#

straight up 8sec immunity

waxen frigate
#

ya that makes sense

#

bc block

south zealot
#

you get to do some really sketchy shit with it

waxen frigate
#

it's 30+ ilvl behind now

strong forum
#

for ultra defensive combo youd run matrix + aegis

mighty valley
#

aegis is bad if you're a good player doing keys below your level, great for everyone else

south zealot
#

matrix aegis and ur just unkillable 😂

waxen frigate
cinder nova
#

^

marsh aurora
#

I haven't tried aegis on pwar but it was amazing on druid, the outside of Incarn survivability was really good

strong forum
#

aegis is goated for every tank but bdk

mighty valley
#

yeah, that's just the only argument i ever see against it - "why do you need a defensive"

strong forum
#

matrix is goated period

waxen frigate
#

i literally havent used a defensive trinket in months outside of niche cases

jagged pier
strong forum
#

ive not used a defensive trinket in all of SL

mighty valley
#

and you only can't find use for 8s of immunity if you're doing something that doesn't challenge you much

waxen frigate
#

im an SL baby so

strong forum
#

but i have used matrix

waxen frigate
#

BSS carried me through my first key season lol

strong forum
#

cuz you dont lose value by running it

cinder nova
#

If you aren't doing really, really high keys you technically don't need to be running def trinkets. You might want them as a failsafe, which I guess?? but I'm not big on that mindset. I'd rather just try and refine than get into crutch habits unless I'm at that point - which has been like... twice across two expansions, so not a lot.

strong forum
#

whereas you can lose value of pure defensive trinkets if you dont need em

waxen frigate
#

now this is my current main setup on brew lol

strong forum
#

ya thats huge

south zealot
#

ive always ran aegis because its either that or the jailer trinket

strong forum
#

actually disgusting trinkets

south zealot
#

dont have any else

mighty valley
#

it's not failsafe or crutch, it's to do pulls you couldn't do without the CD

marsh aurora
#

Damn that's hot

waxen frigate
#

well

marsh aurora
#

The only issue with that combo is that it's on a brew but

waxen frigate
#

more like 15-20%

marsh aurora
#

Still hot

south zealot
#

dumb question but you always use tier set on shield slam right

mighty valley
#

yeah

#

i mean, in keys, it's ok to hit a few TCs, especially when you're drowning in rage anyway

#

but try and plan for all SSs

marsh aurora
# waxen frigate tf

Idk my only experience with brew is me walking into a pack in hoa and getting one shotted, like literally, haven't touched it ever since

waxen frigate
#

😛

#

the whole point of brew

#

is u cant get one shotted

strong forum
#

except against magic

south zealot
#

yeah ive tried to do some thunderclaps in lower keys for big damage with avatar and the conduit but its not great

marsh aurora
#

Can't cleanse stagger if I'm dead in a millisecond

waxen frigate
marsh aurora
#

Probably not

waxen frigate
#

the only time brew will ever get one shotted

mighty valley
#

TC needs a huge number of targets to break even on damage, and then still loses 30 rage net

How much weaker is Kyrian than Necro? I´ve tried going back to Kyrian to relax a bit this week, but honestly feels like it plays so much worse.

kyrian is a lot worse

you're much less tanky and have much less rage

waxen frigate
orchid mortar
#

Yeah, it was ironic, I went kyrian to farm keys and relax, but it plays so much worse that in pugs with weak healers it actually feels more stressful to be Kyrian

is the 720p just because the rest of it didn't load ? or are you guys playing on Classic screens ?

@oblique garnet is your ui atrocity's one ?

unlike the camera angles on that depot run

One of the reasons im using his UI is tho because i used to do alot of multiclassing and it has weakauras for every spec

So no matter what spec im playing its always the similiar oook

i used afenar before switching to naowhs one

you can't get double flame wreath

#

right

#

it cycles

left temple
#

Obviously doing higher keys, especially early season

chrome falcon
#

but yeah medivh kinda rng fight sometimes

left temple
#

Throughout will be an issue

#

Sometimes you get a ton of arcane missiles

#

Your tank gets reamed

#

But the fight is a joke because of it

waxen frigate
cinder storm
#

He means back to back

chrome falcon
#

sure but not consecutively

waxen frigate
#

yeah

left temple
#

At least you can always have lust for medivh

waxen frigate
#

but regardless

#

2x in a fight is done

#

dead key

left temple
#

Lust curator

#

Wipe a few times

#

Lust medivh

#

Wipe a few more times

#

Lust mana devourer

runic sparrow
#

We found lusting curator didnt really make sense. We two phase it anyways so the lust bascially did nothing

waxen frigate
#

agree

runic sparrow
#

Just feels bad to hold lust for so long

waxen frigate
#

pot it, but dont lust

left temple
#

It’s just a question of if you’re willing to lose a lust cast

waxen frigate
#

yes

#

because the other bosses are free

left temple
#

Though I guess usually you only get 3

#

Upper is 35m?

waxen frigate
#

somewhere around there

cinder storm
#

And then someone forgets to kick a frostbite and the other person kicks the fire cast

waxen frigate
#

34-38 range

runic sparrow
#

Wouldt exactly say mana devourer is free, but its less hard than medivh atleast

waxen frigate
#

as of yesterday at least, orbs were not filling its mana

cinder storm
#

its been fixed

waxen frigate
#

idk if that was fixed

#

ah ok

runic sparrow
#

oof

cinder storm
#

but soaking as a tank is just too hard, the boss moves with you and sometimes they spawn under its hitbox

waxen frigate
#

agree

#

it's a huge pain

zealous willow
#

upper is ok

#

lower is cancer

fervent trail
#

is there an FAQ for prot updated to this season?

left temple
#

Press shield block

runic sparrow
#

idk i honestly think lower is easier after nerfs

left temple
#

Win game

cinder storm
#

read about carpal tunnel

left temple
#

Ah my favourite

zealous willow
#

upper last boss

#

spell reflect is mvp

runic sparrow
#

yeah i mean last boss is free

#

the rest arent

zealous willow
#

i wish we could reflect medvih arcane missles too

left temple
#

You used to be able to apparently

#

But then tanks were outdpsing the dps

glacial skiff
#

Which bounty does protection take in keys currently?

left temple
#

Haste

#

Haste good

#

Love haste

glacial skiff
#

Over vers?

cinder storm
#

Always haste

glacial skiff
#

Ok, why?

urban portal
#

vers is 1%

#

haste is 2%

#

crit has no defensive value

#

you hard DR on mastery due to banner

glacial skiff
#

Yeah I know it’s haste or vers. Just trying to understand the reason for 1 over the other

zealous willow
#

crit has some deff value = parry

urban portal
#

it does not

#

its a %

#

not a rating

#

only rating gives parry

zealous willow
#

then its fucked up

urban portal
#

that being said crit is still highest damage

left temple
#

Crit maybe technically highest dam

#

But haste = more abilities

urban portal
#

haste is the best in general

left temple
#

= more epic

urban portal
#

and easier on banner

zealous willow
#

haste is fun as hell

cinder storm
#

Vers is never going to be the play unless you are pushing for top 50 pwar at the highest level, and even then haste will probably will continue to be the play

zealous willow
#

when i forgot to take stats

#

without haste its not fun at all

glacial skiff
#

My thought is haste was traditionally used for SB CD/SS resets and auto rage. While that helps defensively our primary source of defense is reprisal power right? Wouldn’t vers be better if we’re not struggling with SB uptime?

cinder storm
#

Once you have exhausted all the reasons as to how you can survive pack per pack, then you can consider vers as an option

urban portal
#

more rage=more IP

#

and more banner

zealous willow
#

vers might be good if they make it at least 1.5%

cinder storm
#

And we are already really tanky as we are

zealous willow
#

1% over 2% haste is sad

urban portal
#

your hard casted blocks still maeks up most of your shield block uptime

glacial skiff
#

I’ve been running kyrian for just low keys but yeah

#

True but the defense granted by reprisal is huge.

zealous willow
#

the only think i dont like is we cant stack shield block to unlimited time

urban portal
#

of course reprisal is huge

#

but thats like 40% of your defense

cinder storm
#

Play banner, its super fun

urban portal
#

if you play kyrian you may as well go crit

#

and turbo one shot every pack

left temple
#

Kyrian cring

#

Unless you commit

glacial skiff
#

Eh, I play kyrian when I don’t feel my dps will outdo my damage gain as kyrian

left temple
#

And use seismic reverb

#

GIGA

urban portal
#

then go crit

#

with seismic

cinder storm
#

Banner does more damage than kyrian

cinder nova
left temple
#

I mean

#

Interrupt rotation WA

#

Would not be hard to make

cinder nova
#

Kekw

#

I mean extra stupid proof

left temple
#

Prio certain specs interrupts

#

easy

glacial skiff
#

Banner can theoretically allow your group to do more damage, but I promise you if you know how to play kyrian properly you will do more as kyrian.

lofty widget
#

?

#

22 % str on banner

#

100 % uptime

#

kyrian doesnt beat that

left temple
#

Banner > Kyrian if you actually get the uptime

#

More rage = more revenge + more anger management CDR + more ignore pain

sweet summit
#

necro fucking owns for prot

pallid quiver
chrome falcon
#

or you forgot which channel you're in

drifting fable
#

theoretically

#

btw

pallid quiver
#

They were talking about reprisal and everything up above a bit before hand, as well as asking why haste is useful, so I think that they're just straight out of the loop

chrome falcon
#

damn

#

straight up 6 months behind the meta

drifting fable
#

but he promised me

mighty egret
#

yo is stun grenade from docks good

drifting fable
#

nah

mighty egret
#

just got 1

chrome falcon
#

it's not bad

pallid quiver
#

it's better than garbo trinkets

chrome falcon
#

but it's nothing compared to what we're getting next week

drifting fable
#

better than nothing

pallid quiver
#

but there's a lot better you can grab, es-

mighty egret
#

yeah i figured

pallid quiver
#

yeah next week

mighty egret
#

sitting on a soleahs so ill keep that

drifting fable
#

soleahs is better than the grenade for sure

grave crane
#

i feel like grenade is probably bad tbh

pallid quiver
#

So as someone who hasn't raided in years, are there any video guide makers for raids people recommend watching? I remember Fatboss being the way to go back in MoP, but I'm pretty sure those guys broke apart, didn't they?

i want to look up on sod before mashing my face into the raid next week

drifting fable
#

i use tank notes if i dont know the fight and then just watch senses vods for general fight sense

@pallid quiver stanky games is aight

stanky is fine and yeah i always check out sense's videos

pallid quiver

Got it, thanks

so ows next week

Gang gang gang gang

cinder nova

otherwise it's W3

sick sentinel
#

So. . . Whys warrior popping up more and more? 👀

chrome falcon
#

because people are starting to realise that we're strong

#

nothing appreciable has changed about the class

#

people are just realising that all the shit they've been talking for the last year was wrong

sturdy sable
#

And its looking pog-u next expansion (hopefully)

sick sentinel
#

The 30% haste is pretty sexy ngl from dungeons

#

Having such a high up time on Banner is kinda sexy. . .

chrome falcon
#

you had high uptime on banner without 30% haste

sick sentinel
#

Ofc, but I was shit

#

so

#

:^)

chrome falcon
#

understandable i'll allow it

chrome falcon
#

the buffs are not major enough for a class as bad as people thought we were to suddenly become good

#

they help though

waxen orbit
#

We were alright

chrome falcon
#

yeah that's my point

waxen orbit
#

But the buffs make us genuinely good

#

For actual pushing

#

So casuals and low pushers now think “Wait a minute we can play this spec??”

cinder nova
#

Always could

chrome falcon
#

yeah that's probably a better explanation than mine

waxen orbit
#

Exactly; it’s just that most of the community relies on r/wow and Max for any sort of info on the game

#

Rather than deducing things themselves

are the anodized Deflectors (bracer from mechagon) good for prot war?

Honestly id kinda want the sunking trinket

i wore it on our inerva kill and it procced so

maybe i'm washed and i need it

glacial skiff
# chrome falcon tell me you're trolling

If you’re just spamming like 15’s I’m not. For any key higher than yeah necro’s better, nobody’s arguing that. If you’re pulling like 3+ packs though kyrian outshines necro.

strong forum
#

I got skriekwing boots, alars and slg shield

chrome falcon
#

kyrian adds a flat amount of damage to your dps

#

necro multiplies your dps

#

if you are a good player necro will do more

#

this is a settled debate

robust quiver
#

Is unstoppable force really that bad?

chrome falcon
#

yes

robust quiver
#

Sad

chrome falcon
#

not sad

#

counterpoint

robust quiver
chrome falcon
#

current warrior gameplay is fun

#

UF would be less fun

robust quiver
#

Idk, i didn't play bfa prot so i feel like i'm missing out

zealous willow
#

if they buff the dmg of barbed reins neck will it be bis ?

sweet summit
#

if it does big damage yes

glacial skiff
#

You’re talking about spear itself, which is true but you’re not counting the crit bonus I assume and literally spamming revenge and using the proc/intervene proc making revenge do 50% more with best served cold.

chrome falcon
#

if they buff a thing the thing will be better yes

glacial skiff
#

In that instance you can do substantially more damage than necro can

oblique garnet
#

current playstyle is high octane gameplay

chrome falcon
#

yes your crit bonus on a cooldown is very nice but it's not 408 mastery and 24% strength and 4 rage per second

sweet summit
#

ok but necrolord is objectively numerically better regardless

chrome falcon
#

necro is better than kyrian

#

like i said you're 6-7 months late to the debate

#

numbers do not support your position

glacial skiff
#

Idk I’ll do testing later but I’m still skeptical

cinder storm
#

I don't think you have done high content to be able to tell the difference, hence, why you are skeptical, you can run meme builds atm or stay as kyrian, but you will have an easier time if you learn necro now, if you plan on moving to higher content that is

#

But if anyone can tell you and WILL tell you how to play better and what is better, is Matta, everyone else will also help but Matta is usually 24/7 eating logs and chewing them out

jagged pier
#

Im thinking of getting crit from the buff instead of haste because keys dont hurt atm yep

#

And i dont need the haste

cinder storm
#

Just stack mastery

chrome falcon
#

not that kyrian is better overall

#

and that might feel right but it is wrong overall

cinder storm
#

Yeah, I get that part, but if keys are easy then one should be pulling even more and necro rage regen would help even more so

#

Even on a lower key, like, you can either group mobs and wait for your spear and then nothing much, or pull consistently and bigger and continue the dpsfiesta

#

But it also depends what people define by "easy key", any 15s atm is arguably an easy key

yes you still wear it if it's better ilvl

toxic pewter

I used the weapon in a dungeon and it only did 2% of my overall damage. Do you guys think 2% is worth losing stats? It doesn’t really seem like it’s worth using over traditional weapon

at same ilvl

but worse in aoe

and a lil worse defensively for both

dk tank?

But I am asking for me I guess.

yeah some tanks kind do some funky stuff

if they can solo soak then thats fine

less group dmg to heal

He didn't soak at all - he just avoided it. Took no damage at all.

Literally ran from boss.

press IP to avoid overcapping

if someone is in the right position

sick sentinel
chrome falcon

yeah

sick sentinel
#

Doesn't work?

chrome falcon
#

it worked in legion, not because you reflected the spell, but because SR made you take 50% less magic damage

#

so you just solo soaked it

but yeah SR does not reflect it
