sick sentinel
#

what about demo shout and sr

chrome falcon
#

people are so fucking bad at that fight i swear

#

hungering is giga free as tank

#

xyxmox is also free as tank

lusty tiger
#

Hungering dead

chrome falcon
#

inerva you just have to move boss around room when puddles are down

#

and face tank mechanic

#

i got 8 stacks of inerva dot by mistake

#

and 1 tick 100-0'd me

lusty tiger
#

U forgot ninjas?

dense pewter
#

should revenge be a larger dps percentage than spear in keys?

chrome falcon
#

i didn't forget

#

they're just totally fucking impossible

#

to see

lusty tiger
#

Lol I can imagine

sweet summit

lusty tiger
#

Red on red on red

#

Feint red over dark red

chrome falcon
#

Spear 🚫

lusty tiger
#

I also need to do a quick addon/wa test I’m totally fps dropping hard on encounters

dense pewter
#

I doubt I'll get as much value from banner in low keys trying to gear up than I will with spear lol

chrome falcon
#

Then you are incorrect

#

And you should learn to play banner sooner than later

sick sentinel
#

I mean

#

expansion ends in a few months

#

who cares tbh

chrome falcon
#

Well presumably they're trying to gear up for something

#

That requires gear

kind prairie
#

banner that much better???

chrome falcon
#

And in that something they will want to play banner

#

Yes

kind prairie
#

than NF/Kyrian?

chrome falcon
#

Has been for about 6 months

cinder storm
#

Anybody that came to this discord supposedly cares about playing better

chrome falcon
#

The other covenants are trolling in comparison

kind prairie
#

I've been running NF

chrome falcon
#

That is very unfortunate for you and your groups

#

Always banner

kind prairie
#

That's a bit of an extreme statement aint it?

sick sentinel
chrome falcon
#

Well, yes

#

But playing NF is extremely wrong

#

I'm being proportional!

Have fun with your lil blue puddle my guy I am over here being a 24% strength 408 mastery 4 rage per second enjoyer

necro prot is op but not for your wrists

chrome falcon
#

vers mastery

#

not a mechagon ring

mighty valley
#

oh that would be sick if they did that

#

kinda overpowered though they're already strong

urban portal
#

seems insane on pala no?

#

or even brew

#

that ones just weird to use

spring umbra
#

thoughts on this as an ug? 226 ilvl phial to this, swapping 77 str for 120 vers?

#

big ilvl gain but also big main stat loss

cinder nova
#

Phial is more DPS hands down.

#

And STR has more value than vers for us.

#

Plus the proc on this is useless. Autos aren't a problem for us.

spring umbra
#

good times, tyty

oblique garnet
#

@sweet summit You coming for more? :-DD

sweet summit
#

🙂

#

will they all be that demonic?

oblique garnet
#

Yeah they usually are

#

Its called training under extreme stress if you are curious keks

sweet summit
#

ah i prefer physical torture over psychological torture

oblique garnet
sweet summit

oblique garnet
sweet summit
#

i do not have the mental fortitude for that critcake

chrome falcon

Do you guys have trouble with the DoT the nathrezim put out?

oblique garnet
sweet summit

what the fuck are you ill in the head do you need help

#

oblique garnet

sweet summit

oblique garnet
#

Listen to music que up and play

#

Unbreakable Mental dander

sweet summit
#

incredible...

oblique garnet
#

Also because its fresh season nobody is forcing me to do X pulls i can just pull w/e i actually want to play

gentle jackal
#

in season 4, what should be our four set pieces?

mild palm
#

Is the mechagon shield proc as underwhelming as it seems? :(

toxic pewter
#

yes

mild palm
#

Just did a 17 docks and it did like 0.3% of my damage and 2.3% of my healing.

#

Very upset about it.

toxic pewter
#

i got the 1h weapon and it only did 2% damage in a dungeon i ran

#

marsh aurora

would you say OWS or kt weapon first with dinars ?

oblique garnet
#

Well yeah

runic sparrow
#

but we've been in lower kara prison all night

#

we almost timed 21 but wiped on maiden

modern brook
#

Real easy fix

#

Just don't die to maiden

#

Then u can't wipe :)

runic sparrow
#

🧠

modern brook
#

Sorry I'm really bored

remote python
#

From the details can I identify if I performed this?

rancid pendant
#

real easy fix just don't be bored

sweet summit
runic sparrow
#

idk we are dumb tbh. apparently every mechanic in the game can get you out of maiden stun so you dont have to take 30k a second from the dot

rancid pendant
#

😉

modern brook
#

Thansk fam

chrome falcon
#

you can reflect the debuff it gives you

oblique garnet
#

It also needs to be dispelled

chrome falcon
#

yeah i've noticed some of my healers just let that shit go to 3 stacks

#

maybe they're saving it for dps (and not me, i never get hit) who run into the cloud

naive hatch
#

Is it reflectable for one of em though?

oblique garnet
#

Yes

chrome falcon
#

yeah that's either your healer's fault for not dispelling

oblique garnet
#

It applies it on hit

chrome falcon
#

or your dps fault for wasting healer dispel cd

naive hatch
#

word

chrome falcon
#

and yes you can reflect one every time it autos

naive hatch
#

will reflect from now on

chrome falcon
#

so just slam on CD

left temple
#

Does anyone know if the wrists with the 30s on-use from mechagon are good

#

They give you like

#

300 parry and avoidance for 6 seconds

chrome falcon
#

they are not good

oblique garnet
#

Loss of stats aint worth it

left temple
chrome falcon
#

also another keybind

left temple
#

this is so sad

#

I mean

#

You can just macro that into everything

#

And slam it on CD

#

Sadge tho

#

If only it were actually good

lament shell
#

can i reflect shared suffering defensivly?

chrome falcon
#

it's magic damage so you will get the DR

lament shell
#

i dont just immune it ?

#

ok idk i just took 0 dmg after reflect

ocean finch
#

Anyone have any good sites to get routes for the new dungeons?

chrome falcon
warm plinth
#

It's a pretty complicated route I bet

urban portal
#

took all of skyhold months of work

#

to optimize

sand pebble
#

yeah dont fuck up the GD route

#

or this happens

chrome falcon
#

you can get back to the start tho

#

there's a chain you can interact with at the start

oblique garnet
#

How you miss count is besides me

cobalt seal
#

skipping at start?

oblique garnet
#

Skipping what

cobalt seal
#

you can skip like 4 mobs

#

that should make the 95%

oblique garnet
#

Woo

#

Wurf

cobalt seal
#

they prob inv somewhere

#

(why I have no idea)

sand pebble
#

where is this chain?

sick sentinel

Mdi Grimrail routes

cinder nova
#

mdi grimrail straight line gang

marsh aurora
#

I just got grimrail 19

#

Realistically

#

How do you handle the train pull where your team gets the spreading dots

cinder nova
#

...train pull?

marsh aurora
#
  • the other regular mobs
#

There's one pull that's rough in the train

cinder nova
#

You mean the largely empty car with nothing but mobs

marsh aurora
#

With an affix guy, an inspired, and a dot guy

#

That's what trains looked like when the dungeons first came out OK

spring umbra
#

i was getting absolutely trucked by the charge on the first boss of grim

cinder nova
#

Pull them out of flametongue, don't stand in shrapnel strike, point the artillery away

marsh aurora
#

50 years ago

#

Back when people were playing wow as a 2nd life and would almost play only first person

marsh aurora
#

I could also just reroll it and hope for yard

cinder nova
#

what dot?

marsh aurora
#

Hmmm idk the exact name of it, basically players need to spread so it disappears

#

But there's like 0 space for spreading

cinder nova
#

Do you know the mob name?

#

Oh lava wreath, the silence.

#

You make rough lines.

#

It's meant to make it harder to stack to heal or cleave.

#

It favors ranged/healers tho, so just don't stack those.

marsh aurora
#

Yeah the silence, mb

cinder nova
#

Yeah that's a healer/ranged mechanic primarily, it'll pretty much never target you. It's up to them to not stand on one another. It's your job to try and give them as much space to work with without killing yourself or them.

marsh aurora
#

Well, we'll see how it goes, got a lucky yard into gambit and now I'm stuck with this horrendous key

hollow bolt
#

Herro big brains of skyhold! I started playing with the new affix what fun stat do we pick?

cinder nova
#

Haste.

hollow bolt
#

Ah thank u

#

SPEEEEED

cinder nova
#

If we got 1% speed per 100 haste that'd be funny

hollow bolt
#

does that make in 2 the fray worth taking over ravager then

#

for unliited speeeed

chrome falcon
#

no

cinder nova
#

Ravager is lots of damage and rage.

chrome falcon
#

you can't creation catalyst weapons/shields right

cinder nova
#

nah

hollow bolt
#

tru iz like 6% good for threat 2

cinder nova
#

what

#

for ITF?

#

what are you on about

hollow bolt
#

ravager is like 6-7% of me damage

cinder nova
#

Oh, I see.

hollow bolt
#

and helps me hold threat on aoe packs cause thunderclap being on a 4 second cd makes me wanna commit die

cinder nova
#

Yes, it does decent damage and the rage for banner is very nice and up nearly every pull.

#

So press revenge

#

That's what it's for

#

TC is an afterthought button atm

hollow bolt
#

me revenging and praying the shockwave hts something a few feet away

cinder nova
#

Yeah revenge is like... all your damage in a key

#

So you should be pressing it pretty aggressively.

oblique garnet
#

Literally press every button all the time on cd and you do fine

#

Thats the current warrior in keys now

chrome falcon
#

i love pressing buttons !

oblique garnet
#

I agree

#

Now i just need to find a team i can do m+ high keys with

hot pasture
#

What’s the thought on this shield for pwar?

chrome falcon
#

atrocious

#

the absorb goes away in 1 instance of damage

#

worse than SOFO shield

hot pasture
#

Figured

chrome falcon
#

and SOFO is worse than ilvl

hot pasture
#

Thank you 🙂

mighty valley
#

why do paladins pump insanely hard on Council

#

when logs cut the fake pad damage

sweet summit
#

Non-tank damage to any bosses that heal to full is excluded in the table below.

#

tanks are allowed to pad

#

no one else

limpid pawn
#

yo, we just got rekt on medivh like 3 times on a 16

sweet summit
#

nice

limpid pawn
#

can someone explain to me flame wreath - is it just insanely hard to heal it?

sweet summit
#

it's overtuned yea

limpid pawn
#

like if 1 person dies during that it seems like we all explode

sweet summit
#

yep

limpid pawn
#

but like 2-3 people have dots on them

#

is there a trick?

#

like we aren't supposed to move

sweet summit
#

just blow every defensive and raid cd and pray you never get a 2nd one

limpid pawn
#

adaptive winter

#

this one you are supposed to move non-stop?

sand pebble
#

Just jump

limpid pawn
#

is there any interaction with the flame spell

#

or is jumping/moving the primary way to reduce damage

sand pebble
#

Pretty sure fire one only breaks the ice block

serene coral
#

just jump or move on the ice one

limpid pawn
#

oh ok

serene coral
#

theres no interaction with his casts

limpid pawn
#

ok cool

#

mana devourer- those huge swirlies (purple) on the ground

#

after soaking orbs, you can use the debuff to clear those?

oblique garnet
#

Yes

sand pebble
#

Yes

limpid pawn
#

is there a consequence for not clearing them

sand pebble
#

You can also let some orbs hit boss

limpid pawn
#

do they just take up space or do they do some aoe tick

oblique garnet
#

The debuff you have will eventually kill you in higher key and be rough to heal so you want to clear

limpid pawn
#

i see

#

the purple things on the ground, when you are in them they also hurt you though?

waxen frigate
#

You can’t immune the damage

#

And healer has to blow everything just to live one set

undone verge
#

where are we moving unity?

#

wrist for stat budget?

hazy edge
#

If you can get 311s, move it to waist, if you can't wrist/cloak maybe waist

undone verge
#

Im thinking either wrist or cloak cause I have 291 belts

proper dock
#

Is the Neck From Lower Kara with the damage reflect good for us?

cinder nova
#

Only if they buff it

#

Big if

toxic pewter
#

is 291 ring with bad stats better than 278 haste ring

sweet summit
#

i'd say so, but nome would disagree keksquad

naive hatch
#

Does anyone have a screenshot of damage from spell reflect on a 15 upper final boss?

#

I did it just now on a 2, reflected 3x and it did 300k

sweet summit
#

@hazy edge did you find anything on logic loop of division for prot warrior?

hazy edge
#

ahhhh I new I was forgetting to do something

sweet summit
sweet summit
#

what it procs off

oblique garnet
#

Beind behind/on side

#

No deepwounds does not

hazy edge
#

You sure?

sweet summit
#

i swear it used to in bfa

#

unless i am gaslighting myself again

oblique garnet
#

Its 270 degrees

#

If you are directly in front with deep wounds it does not

sweet summit
#

oh so you literally just wiggle a bit and ur shilling or

oblique garnet
#

Yeah kinda

sweet summit
#

neat

oblique garnet
#

The 3 hit ability thing does the same

#

And theres never any question if you will proc it fast enough

urban portal
#

Apparently behind works in 270degrees so not a big issue

#

Tap ‘‘em from the sides

sweet summit
#

nice

hazy edge
#

But yeah they can be procced by anything as long as you wiggle around a bit like Late said. Imma have a hell of a time trying to get this fixed in simc...

urban portal
#

What’s the stat diff between 3 hits and behind

#

Base stat of the rings

sweet summit
#

nothing

hazy edge
#

same stats yeah

sweet summit
hazy edge
#

Tanks can't proc it at all in simc

#

and you're able to get a higher uptime on diversion than recursion as blood

urban portal
#

Ah so behind is under simming on tanks

#

Though do try it out

#

I heard this from someone

#

Could be wrong

hazy edge
#

Behind isn't simming at all for tanks

#

you just get the stats and never the procs

urban portal
#

You know what’s a statistic I wanna see

#

% of sims done as a tank on raidbots

hazy edge
#

I mean

#

I've done about 300 today alone...

urban portal
#

I feel like tank players disproportionately sim less

sweet summit
#

some do too many, some don't at all

hazy edge
#

OH

urban portal
#

Like not using advanced sim, but using top gear/quick sim

sweet summit
#

definitely

urban portal
#

To filter out try hards like us

sweet summit
#

poggies

urban portal
#

There is way too much feelycrafting as a tank

hazy edge
urban portal
#

Even people like naowh and dorki don’t really care for sims id imagine

waxen orbit
urban portal
#

God

waxen orbit
#

All I want

#

Is a goddamn haste ring

urban portal
#

19k

waxen orbit
#

Please

urban portal
#

Is blood overtuned if you don’t have gavel

hazy edge
#

gavel is about 1.3k dps

sweet summit
urban portal
#

So it’s still a bit stronger than most tanks

hazy edge
#

nf dreamweaver is about 1k dps

urban portal
#

Wait how does dw work on bdk

hazy edge
#

if you play kyr mika, which is the most common, w/ r5 Jaithys, it's about 17.3k

urban portal
#

Wouldn’t the circle be up perma

hazy edge
urban portal
#

Oh so it depends on your procs then

#

But it’s still extremely good synergy I’d imagine

hazy edge
#

ish, you're throwing it down quite often

#

yeah it's busted

#

but if you have to move even 2 inches you loose like 5k dps

urban portal
#

Also why jaithys

#

I’m assuming the str procs gives survival

#

While gavel is pure dps

hazy edge
#

Just cause they are both 311 cantrip weapons

#

and they get compared alot

urban portal
#

sorry i dont understand cantrip in this context

#

i only understand the card game context where it cycles itself

hazy edge
#

non-trinket items with effects are called "cantrips" by the wow dev team, so things like Gavel, Jaithys, kara neck, logic rings from meca, etc.

urban portal
#

ah i see

#

so its the opposite of what i call a generic

#

got it

#

but whats the consensus?

#

jaithys for survival and gavel for offense?

sweet summit
#

gavel fuck good

hazy edge
#

gavel >>>>>>>>>>>> jaithys

lament goblet
#

For Prot if I'm not mythic raiding am I still trying to run OWS and RDM/Annhylde's as trinkets if my focus is keys and don't mythic raid so can't get max ilvl?

hazy edge
#

Heroic of both is still pretty good. You can def sim heroic raid trinkets vs 304 vault m+ trinkets to see though

mortal brook
#

the only thing better than lower ows/aegis is higher ilvl ows/aegis at what they do yep

signal schooner
#

On topic of trinkets will I ever be able to get rid of this bloody 246 scale or am I stuck with it for life

lament goblet
#

Scale is nowhere near as good as the raid trinkets post-nerf afaik

signal schooner
#

Oh I didn’t know it had been nerfed only been playing for a week

urban portal
#

scale is bad yeah

signal schooner
#

Reeeee the hunt continues then

#

Thoughts on vers trink from iron docks?

hazy edge
#

not very good

mortal brook
#

if it sims, sure. there's better stuff for both stat sticks and defensive options

#

that has mainstat primary

urban portal
#

It’s not that much defensive util either

#

That vers mastery ring with the 10% dr is about the same in power in terms of defensive utility

oblique garnet
hazy edge
oblique garnet
#

Idk my perspective is just scewed atm since i havent done raid yet but the sb uptime seems bit low imo

hazy edge
#

That's moreso because simc doesn't have charge working very well. It was a lot lower before I got Intervene working, but right now it's missing about 10ish casts of charge on a 5 min sim which is quite a bit of uptime

oblique garnet
#

Yeah + bit more revenges which turn into possible ss resets etc

#

Its fine maybe we get more buffs 🙂

hazy edge
#

yeye

It's okay we'll get a good cantrip weapon in dragonflight copium

night oracle
#

is bdk at this point basically warrior but with better parry and infinite self heals ?

#

is shield block even a 100% block ?

urban portal
#

We dont get globalled because of bad rng on a 29 fort

#

You probably should understand how prot warrior and bdk works before asking these questions

strong forum
#

A good prot doesn't take dmg alot of dmg, needs minimal healing (unless throw and throw coin 🙂)

A good bdk takes large hits of rng physical dmg but is so overrun with runic power that they can heal pretty much anything back up 🙂

Also bdk is a wheelchair class. They cant leap, charge like psychos

being in a wheelchair wouldn't make you any worse at wow

its a weird term tbh

That’s actually huge hps

blazing condor

So true

Ok erga you inspired me to take mastery

Ive given up Upper as I got ptsd from Medivh. People dying on every damn mechanic.

Upper is fine once you grasp the concept

Issue is all 5 have to do that

Any nerfs incoming?

ionic fern
#

Why?

#

People failing mechanics

#

is not a basis for nerfs.

Upper doesnt need a nerf

jagged pier
#

u literally need to do the mechanics on mediveh

#

always have even in tbc

#

they are not hard

#

at all

dusky sentinel
#

Thats the thing Phil. Everyone needs to do it. Its why I gave up raiding Execute

ionic fern
#

It's just more relevant on Karazhan

#

Since if a DPS fucks up

#

It wipes the party

#

Usually they die solo

dawn canyon
#

Lower they might want to reduce dam on maiden's gold poo

dusky sentinel
#

Im not saying it needs a nerf tho, Its just the first week where people pug and you have no idea what ur getting

just 👏 zerker 👏 rage 👏 it 👏

sweet summit

maiden kinda fucks

dusky sentinel

But! ive been to lazy to look it up so ill rather ask the brotherhood. That bridge before the chess event where there is a pyromancer. Anything u can do with the fel orbs? They tend to wipe the party and im stuck soloing it for 2 mins

#

u stand in them

jagged pier

I just know you cant zerk sleep and it's annoying

dusky sentinel
#

so everyone in the party basiclly soak the orb?

well u get 2 at a time

doesnt take long to go

I'm not 100% on that cast but I know it's gonna hurt like a bitch next week

mortal brook
#

its a ranged attack that pierces mitigation yep

tranquil edge
#

It's received as magic damage I think, so maybe SR will at least mitigate

mortal brook
#

and is not blockable

Hey guys

#

Im leveling my warrior on Prot right now

#

and ive had devastator for like 10 levels now and i havent felt it proc yet

#

is there no visual indication

sick sentinel
#

thats a good question

marsh aurora
#

you mean the reset on shield slam ?

#

it's that red indicator left of my character

fringe spear
#

oh okay

#

then i havent gotten one yet

#

ig

#

lol

marsh aurora
#

if it doesn't show up you need to press ESC -> Interface -> Combat -> Spell alert opacity

fringe spear
#

or is that just shield slam rank 3 ?

marsh aurora
#

you got it already for sure

fringe spear
#

its on 😄

marsh aurora
#

no way you didn't get a single proc

delicate parrot
#

Finally got my 2 set and it isn’t as powerful as I would have thought

marsh aurora
#

in 10 levels

delicate parrot
#

The seeing red stacks don’t provide anything

marsh aurora
#

the rage generation from it is insane

delicate parrot
#

All you get is a really strong shield slam or thunderclap once in a while

marsh aurora
#

no you get a lot of rage from using shield slam

#

which allows you to keep banner up

delicate parrot
#

Can you explain.

#

How does it generate rage

#

I’m a noob to prot

marsh aurora
#

Shield slam being 200% more effective

cunning pecan
#

Your SS generates a shit load of rage.

marsh aurora
#

means you get 200% more rage

#

from it

delicate parrot
#

So shield slam generates rage by the amount of damage

fringe spear
#

okay ive just spent 2 mins at the target dummy

#

no procs

delicate parrot
#

Not just 15 rage flat

marsh aurora
#

no ss generates 15 rage

fringe spear
#

even tho it hat 20% chance

marsh aurora
#

but being 200% more effective, it generates 45

cunning pecan
#

Which then let's you use more rage. Which gives you more banner uptime. Which gives you more rage. Which you use more of to get more Avatars.

delicate parrot
#

Oh got it

#

So 200 more effective just doesn’t mean damage

cunning pecan
#

Yes it also does 200% more damage.

marsh aurora
# delicate parrot Not just 15 rage flat

So basically the idea behind this is : Necrolord has banner, banner duration is extended by using rage, 2 pc let's you generate more rage, and therefore, have more banner uptime

fringe spear
#

a weird question maybe but is the root from bfa coming back in any way or smth ?

delicate parrot
marsh aurora
#

same

cunning pecan
marsh aurora
#

this is a guide on how to keep it up

cunning pecan
#

Mattacate explains it really well and shows you what you want to be doing to keep it up.

marsh aurora
#

i find it to be quite hectic in dungeon pulls

#

but

#

the more you do it the better you get at it i guess

cunning pecan
#

Now that you have 2 piece it's a lot easier to keep it up.

marsh aurora
#

also @delicate parrot you want to use the 2pc proc on shield slam mostly, thunder clap is only good at 6++ targets when you're swimming in rage

fringe spear
#

i swear to god it doesnt proc

#

its on AAs right ?

dawn canyon
#

aas and other spells

#

psure it doesnt proc right when you get it

#

needs shieldslam rank 2 (?)

fringe spear
#

so the tooltip is fucked ?

queen hemlock
#

between So'leah secret. codex. ticking sack of terror and enforcer's stune grenade which are the two better trinks to use

marsh aurora
#

Soleah for sure is number 1

#

Codex is 'number 4

fringe spear
#

is the codex that bad for prot w

#

?

queen hemlock
#

oh and add in eye of command if its evenb good

marsh aurora
#

And on even ilvl I did the Sim and ticking sack is better

queen hemlock
#

so ticking and soleah?

marsh aurora
#

Eye of command is the sod 2nd boss trinket right?

#

Has to be too low ilvl to be relevant

queen hemlock
#

final boss of Return to kara

marsh aurora
#

Oooh

#

Then idk

queen hemlock
#

the crit thing

#

what about grenade?

fringe spear
#

Doesnt that also depend if u wanna do more dps

or have more survivability

it's just a rehearsed dance in p3

sick sentinel
#

the problem for me is i get confused and i activate the wipe conditions

#

not properly understanding if im supposed to take boss in or out of a circle, or if i have to sit in it

#

as dps, possibly healer, its not so bad just have to live 80% of the fight, have to live 100% of it as tank

If it’s something as simple as just wanting a bar or icon showing if you have shield block I’d recommend learning to do it yourself tbh

toxic pewter

just got this.. sigh... just making sure its not good right? no primary stat

#

like is it worth using over 272 so leah trinket perhaps?

timber nest
#

Do you SR inferno blast or missiles in upper?

toxic pewter
#

missles for sure

lofty widget
#

last tick of missiles

#

that way you avoid getting the debuff afterwards

@lofty widget what you think of that trinket

would you use that over 272 soleah's

for raids you should sim, but the mechagon rings are pretty well statted iirc, regardless of their bonus effect so probably worth using

okay il swap it then

yeah i just wanted to make sure the strength didnt out weigh it

dusk jay

are these any good?

what if you creation catalyst it, do you lose the effect?

#

yea

dusk jay
#

ah that sucks

grave crane
#

on a 30 second cd? sim it i would imagine?

lofty widget
#

it's 40 dps per target hit assuming you use it on cd

grave crane
#

also how much parry is 379?

lofty widget
#

9 % or so?

grave crane
#

not a lot but how much damage are you losing due to secondaries?

#

60ish of one and 40 of the other?

waxen frigate
#

damage and survivability keep in mind

lofty widget
#

yeah

#

for pure dps you could probably sim it

grave crane
#

but your not really losing survivabilty tbh

waxen frigate
grave crane
#

your probably not losing enough of a secondary to really affect your survivability, the main factor on your surviving is your proper play

chrome falcon
#

it's pretty irrelevant either way

#

but it's just not worth any thought

#

just go stats

lofty widget
#

i wouldnt use those wrists just cause its another keybind

#

but thats probably not correct thinking

grave crane
#

i would try them out theyre not gonna kill you

chrome falcon

but you're not going to get any info off trying them

the difference is going to be extremely negligible either way

Yeah I’m an 8.3 Andy

strong forum
#

Important distinction

marsh aurora
#

you could intervene nw's 1st boss and reflect it

strong forum
#

That's a very niche case

#

But you couldn't in s3 anymore

#

Couldn't even reflect it anymore

lofty widget
#

but thats a physical hit that applies a magic debuff after the fact

#

so it makes sense we can intervene that

marsh aurora
#

havent played in s3 :c

shut summit
#

you could still intervene it but ya i never saw reflect

stable valve
#

Very useful info though. Some of the wording in this game still surprises me though

strong forum
#

It surprises everyone

#

There's not alot of consistency to what is reflectable, intervenable, blockable

#

The only thing I can say is :"if it's a swing with a weapon or a shot with a bow/gun without any fancy magical sounding name - it's probably blockable"

#

"if it's a casted targeted thing that sounds like frost bolt or any magical variation of it - it's potentially reflectable and not blockable"

tier too strong

marsh aurora

a good way to get an ilvl bump and some flux would be to go on a m0 world tour

yeah doing that rn actually, biggest question is whether all these ilvl upgrades I'm getting should be equipped if they'll replace tier from season 3

marsh aurora

and yeah, prioritize tier

this is kinda odd, I don't think I got flux from the m0 my buddy and I just did

i don't generate that much rage

like enough to sustain banner

while casting 27 charges only in a dungeon like gambit

ending in roughly 60% banner uptime
