Also apparently it has a debuff that gives it a chance for like a 5 minute cooldown?

for ring you only take the mechagon on

strong forum

That's a diff ring

According to a guildy

#

Aah

wind oak

with the funny proc haste

The one use gamble ring from legion has 15sec CD, but you only use it every 30sec

minor helm
#

Aah yeah

#

The shadow damage one right

strong forum

But mechagon combo with haste +3 abilities is bis in every scenario

They just buffed the dam too keks

vers vs haste buff from m+?

strong forum
#

Haste

#

The only reason to ever pick vers is to avoid literal one-shots you couldn't have survived without the teeny tiny bit of extra DR (0-6% in the best case scenario)

jagged pier
#

imagine choosing 6% DR over like 20% haste

oblique garnet
#

anything but vers is better than picking vers

#

mastery might be decent too

#

i need to do some more testing

#

to see how much it ends up giving

minor helm
severe swallow
#

Do we take Versa for Shrouded affix

#

or Haste?

sick sentinel
#

he asked multiple times in whispers even though i didnt respond the first time, not a big deal

mortal brook
#

Haste much more valuable

strong forum
#

Which shrouded affix bounty should I pick?
Haste - In 99.9% of all cases Haste will be your go-to stat because of its % multiplicative scaling nature and amazing interaction with our resource generation.

Mastery - quite lackluster as it also DRs unlike the other stats

Crit - good for raw dmg, nothing else to mention

Versatility - extremely poor performance compared to any other stat both offensively and defensively given that it grants only 1% instead of 2%. The only situation where it could have any use is when you as the tank are getting literally 1shot without the minimal DR gain (7-8% at max at the end of a dungeon, alot less in the beginning and middle of the run)

oblique garnet
#

Only reason to not really take haste is that your left hand starts making weird clicking noises everytime you move it tbh

sick sentinel
#

nothing else to mention, it doesn't give parry because its % and not rating

mortal brook
#

Nice pin bro

oblique garnet
#

peepostudy Isnt this basically nzoth trinket level in terms of absorbtion

strong forum
#

The absorb is alot lower, but it's good qol

#

6sec duration is the biggest downside tbh

oblique garnet
#

The nzoth trinket was also lower absorb and 1 min cd

#

with short duration

#

Iirc

strong forum
#

Nzoth was OP cuz of the 80% absorb and the relative shield size was bigger than vintage

oblique garnet
#

was it really 80% absorb

Damn

Killing your enemies with big dam reduces incoming damage from those enemies. Very tanky

strong forum

Tank trinkets are only "needed" for high keys or early progression raiding

In lower content they just end up being used as bandaid to cover for performance issues

Or just end up being entirely useless

you can reflect 1 tick of arcance missiles, you need to plan out your defensives for missiles

and if you don't have those then you need to kick it

if you SR the last tick you dont get the debuff

And closer to 25

Shield slam has a ~7 second CD so even if you had ZERO procs it should be 10cpm, and obviously we have much more than zero procs

You need to have CPM on your revenge that is roughly equal to shield slam

maybe 4 times

press more ignore pain

to get more rage

also, youre clearly not pressing SS on CD with only 7.4cpm

But in reality any video review will literally just be " you aren't pressing buttons"

Lets say shield slam has a 7 second CD

chrome falcon

So even if you cast shield slam WITH NO PROCS every 7 seconds

#

You should have higher cpm

Than you currently do

strong forum
#

its a bit better

#

but still low CPM

chrome falcon
#

This is significantly less terrible

modern brook
#

It's the same rage gain in half the time

It's literally twice as good

chrome falcon
#

But you could still be spamming harder

wraith hound
#

I must be missing something

chrome falcon
#

You wasted 280 rage from demo shout

wraith hound
#

some key fragment

#

must be rage wasting

chrome falcon
#

Demo shout= 40 rage

#

So that's 7 casts of demo shout

#

That basically generated 0 rage for you

Just spam IP harder during high rage windows like last stand and ravager

woeful nimbus
#

mortals harder to dodge bc you'll likely merk a dps

strong forum
#

pally can outrun it with just horse

chrome falcon
#

when i wasn't washed i would have my healer stand 15 yds behind me

#

intervene them to dodge the mortal strike

#

and if i fucked that up i would use leap to dodge suffering

#

dodging mortal strike should make suffering much easier

#

hows the shield from mecha looking now with the increased absorb, obviously still highest ilevel, I assume not as strong because of the lost secondaries

strong forum
#

still dogshit

#

its like 1ppm

dusk jay
#

ye ok thought so 😄

#

is that low? crazy

strong forum
#

if it procced often, sure it would have defensive value

#

but it procs pitiful amount of times

vestal garnet
strong forum
#

absorb is currently 5k, so itll be 10k, thats 160hps

#

if the shield went up to 30k++ then we'd be talking good

urban portal

so its veinripper but worse

#

wanna sim it vs veinripper for fun

hazy edge
#

I have a sim with a wep that has the r5 Jaithys effect vs KT 1h, and the Jaithys effect is like 1.2k dps

#

So basically all of our cantrip effects are bad compared to what other specs get

urban portal
#

oh are you able to move the jaithys effect onto a nother generic 1h?

#

i think sylv bow was the worst cantrip right

Hi what should I do with the throw coins at lower karazhan they hit like a truck

vernal vale
sage remnant
#

Would i be better off with 23% crit and 29% haste, or 17% crit and 32% haste?

hazy edge
chrome falcon
#

unfortunately that's the best advice we can give

#

you're right, they hit like a truck

hazy edge
#

Yeah throw coins is stupid. Unblockable, non-mitigated phys damage is dumb af

chrome falcon
#

yep

#

🐻 can do something about it with ironfur but

#

mostly it's just a dumb mechanic

hazy edge
#

Throw from Docks is the same way

chrome falcon
#

yep

hazy edge
#

gunna end up one-shotting a ton of people on like 15s next week

chrome falcon
#

when blizz said "you can now block ranged attacks"

#

i thought that meant that they changed how blocking worked

#

but all they actually did was code any new spells to be blockable

#

all the old ones are still dumb

hazy edge
#

Yeah

#

My big copium is that they learn from all the shit like this for the old dungeons in 10.0

mortal brook
#

unblockable, pierces phys mit

next week gonna be

what about orange tank

i think they will nerf kara 100%

if they dont nerf kara , they must buff mechagon and tazavesh

there is a big diff

waxen frigate

i can't imagine them making anything harder

this season

brisk sparrow
#

we struggle a bit with medivh - which spells should we kick?

chrome falcon
#

^ basically that

#

always frost, then fire targeting flame wreathe targets, then arcane missiles that you don't have CDs for

#

if i don't have SW or SR/DS available then I hold my kick for arcane

brisk sparrow
#

i see

shut summit
#

people can avoid getting hit by the fire if you do movement stuff

#

leap / charge / gate / disengage etc etc

brisk sparrow
#

oh okay

grave crane
#

how fast is the travel time of firebolt frommedivh

chrome falcon
#

uh

#

kind of fast?

#

i don't know the exact mph i'm afraid

shut summit
#

yea idk how to answer that

#

not fast enough to be impossible to dodge but still requires decent-ish timing?

chrome falcon
#

fast enough that you do have to be good to dodge it with charge

lofty widget
#

same speed as 2nd boss in halls' jump ish?

Can flame wreath + fire bolt be on the same person?

I really regret gearing my alliance warrior instead of my horde one 😭 i dont wanna go through all that content again dude

I’m a belt man myself

belt gives more stats then back tho, and neck has no str but i know str isn't on neck so maybe a reason to throw there.

why is wowhead still recommending bracers belt and boots

hollow zodiac

in a m+ gearing setting, is it correct that we should favor vers over haste considering the affix?

like for gems/enchant for example

no

what does 1ppm mean

that is awful

drifting juniper
#

last boss of grimrail is pure cancer

#

everyone tries to cheese it now and 80% of the time it doesnt even work

#

damage of the lightning really needs a nerf

vernal vale
drifting juniper
#

people are just trying to cheese it and they give a 5 minute speech on how to stay on rails

#

and first lightning wipes everyone

#

i always wondered why blizzard Runs PTr before each patch, its either the people testing or blizzard itself dead in the brain to rlease things like this

toxic pewter
#

Can spell reflect the lightning first hit

#

Still goes on the ground but the initial dmg hit can be reflected

#

Yeah the rails are good for ranged perhaps but even then traps can mess them up and spear and stuff

hollow zodiac
chrome falcon
#

oh gotcha

#

nah more haste more good

hollow zodiac
#

ok 😄

#

ty

drifting juniper
urban portal
#

its weak

oh wait i see what you mean

and no

#

haste is multiplicative

#

so its better the more you have it

toxic pewter
drifting juniper
#

speaking of versa my whole group got versa as stat to survive last boss but still its one shot without defensive

urban portal
#

i mean

#

7% dr isnt gonna save you

drifting juniper
#

i also think its out of healer hands

urban portal
#

10 at most

drifting juniper
#

it needs a nerf

#

spirit link, rallying cry, defensives

#

all of that ry, defensives

#

all of hat sorted out still at 50 nothing left and boss one shots

toxic pewter
#

Prob will be nerfed many agree it’s a tough encounter

drifting juniper
#

this season is so unbalanced

#

people have 25 on one key and 16 on another

toxic pewter

#

Blizzard working on df

#

Shadowlands is old news

urban portal
#

to be fair

toxic pewter
#

And honestly no one even cares

urban portal
#

yeah

who cares

#

its a for fun season

toxic pewter
#

this season is fun

#

I’m actually having more fun than season 3

drifting juniper
#

mythic plus is fun when it doesnt need micromanage

toxic pewter
#

There will prob be some balancing tomorrow

#

I bet you

drifting juniper
#

so people can gather in pugs and try to time stuff on higher keys

#

karazhan uper definetly needs a premade group for more than 18,

#

i just hate that every key you need to assign so many stuff and talk a lot and still something easily goes wrong

toxic pewter
#

I don’t really find myself doing that at all

#

I just press buttons

drifting juniper
#

depends on level of the key

#

junkyard is face smash at any level

#

haste is cracked man

But medivh damage does shows on healers mana, that's one issue with pugs where they don't really use defs of heal pots

drifting juniper
#

when everyone reaches like 95k hp with 304 gear in 2 months from now all of this is forgotten and the usual suspects start pushing +30 keys and casual players start going from 17 to 21 22 but my point is why blizzard is so weak at starting the seasons

oblique garnet
#

@waxen orbit Could be worse i didnt realize until 40 runs in that im gimping myself by not having arms lootspec on

drifting juniper
#

why when everyone is so excited to play and comeback to the game is where the most problems exist

pallid quiver
#

because people cause the problems

drifting juniper
#

everything will eventually fall in place but some people can and like to push rio with premade groups without massive coordination and it was actually possible in a non distant past

mild palm
#

How does this neck do? Is the proc meaningful at all?

chrome falcon
#

docks?

chrome falcon
#

it doesn't scale with ilvl

#

if they fix that it might be fine

mild palm
#

Does it have an internal CD do you know?

chrome falcon
#

probabaly

#

i mean the proc doesn't detract from the stat budget

#

so it's free value

#

but... yeah 68 damage lol

#

and don't expect a fix any time soon because it didn't work in legion either

I think I’m just not used to which ones cast as u can see

that's coward shit

I don’t even get a dam dispel w pugs lol

I’m trying to get the spot on the box too for melee to hit while hiding

every boss is free reprisal procs in that instance

I know it’s in the short side (rectangle box)

chrome falcon
#

why does no-one know

#

that you can go upgrade all your conduits to 278

#

go upgrades your conduits my guy!

hazy edge
#

you missed 40ish intervenes which is like 800 rage, 160 sec of SB, 40 Revenge! procs each which could reset SS. Chargeing/interveneing is very very important right now

chrome falcon
#

missed at least 20 charges also

#

which is the same lost rage

#

very very easy instance for reprisal workshop

#

every single pack it's super easy they all stun themselves to cast

#

just need to remember to do it

lusty tiger
#

R u srs about staying in on the dog tho

chrome falcon
#

sure

#

as long as you have stuff

#

you can SW every other time

wait do you really not need to hide on dog flame???

and as long as you have rage gen you can IP after every tick

#

y'all are cowards

you should have at least limit tested to try it out by now cmon now lads

im happy to facetank that, just never occured ot me to do it

probably not in like a 24 or something, but you def can stay out on a 15-18

you have SW+SR+a million IP casts

i had no problems staying out on 20

ok well i won't say no problems

the one i tried to soak without DS or SW i had to fleshcraft

true

is it better than 272 soleah or 278 scale

doubt it

#

maint stat is always better

yes I agree

It does give 20% dmg/10% dr

but I also lose str... so weaker than those numbers in reality
