30-50% banner uptime copium

cinder nova
#

Fusion hacker any good?

onyx vessel
#

Does like 4% dmg

#

In a key

cinder nova
#

so yes

onyx vessel
#

300-400k

#

Insane uptime tbh

cinder nova
#

I guess that's not the worst thing, but farming JY sounds like agony

onyx vessel
#

Dont go outta your way for it tbh

#

No secondarys

cinder nova
#

I think I'd rather just keep spamming WS and have a chance at the sword and bit band

onyx vessel
#

The shield tho

#

It sucks for dmg

#

Like 1% at most

hazy edge
onyx vessel
#

I think it can proc on other trash

Does Deep Wounds trigger this?

open gazelle
#

hmmm do i keep my 278 decanter trinket or scale until i can get a replacement

undone verge
#

isnt scale nerfed?

open gazelle
#

yes but my absorb is still like 40k and this is for m+ only

#

its like a free max 100% ignore pain idk

#

thing its neglible?

zealous willow
#

Till u get semething better u can use whatever

#

but u must replace it later

#

we hardly get that much dmg istant

undone verge
#

yeah you could still go with scale but its not the greatest

K im trying to keep up my banner on dummy , i use charges and all but cant up my banner time i can only manage to hold it on 13-18 sec duration

#

how someone can up banner to 3 min what im missing wtf

undone verge
#

are you using unnerving focus conduit?

zealous willow
#

y

undone verge
#

are you using last stand basically on pull?

strong forum
#

It's not stacking up Banner duration up to 3min

undone verge
#

usually with last stand I can get banner up to about 25 seconds on pull

strong forum
#

It's keeping banner going for 3 minutes

zealous willow
#

oh i can keep it on dumy whole day

#

i just cant make it big number

undone verge
#

yeah I dont think many people have gotten that high duration left outside of torghast

#

maybe in pure execute situations you could increase duration

Where are people finding S4 routes?

#

I haven't checked today, but I used dratnos routes during s3

#

They hadn't been updated

You press W

Junk yard tho

#

Seen some spooky shit in that one

#

Cos of the bots

#

The rest are fine, I guess I only mean junkyard xD

cobalt seal
#

undone verge
#

theres some fun Lower kara routes

solar willow
#

THATS WHAT I SAID

#

Had a salty monk yesterday

undone verge
#

dying after first boss and using the skip to moroes

#

works pretty well actually

solar willow
#

"Wtf is this route"

#

Cos I didn't jump left off the ledge at the start to get bots

cobalt seal
#
  • Ignore player
solar willow
#

Which I've seen people do but I don't fkin know it 🤣

cobalt seal
#

where do you go first?

#

it's usually gunker first

solar willow
#

Trogg

#

Or Gnomes if the flight thing is over trogg

mortal brook
#

prio shockbots is good stuff. and theres many fast to grab towards gunker

solar willow
#

Been timing 15s with the route 🤷‍♂️

#

Fair fair

oblique garnet
#

The pull on the left first is essentially just s4 bfa route

#

You get full sets of bots for everyone assuming people dont flop on first pull

mortal brook
#

frontloading ppl dying before they get bots 👍

oblique garnet
#

You as a tank will have 3 bots by the time pull is gathered

strong forum
#

And you get Lust on CD

oblique garnet
#

Its very spicy if nobody kicks but once everyone is used to it, its really free first pull

solar willow
#

Ah a cowards safe route

#

Gotcha

strong forum
#

That's called being efficient

undone verge
#

I wonder if it would be worth when dude is over trog to cut through the back of Gnomes grab the shock bot, grease, welding, pick up the other set on the hill with the stealth dogs, then head to gunker to grab another 2 sets

strong forum
#

JY is entirely about doing safe pulls

oblique garnet
#

First pull can always be the same

#

Doesnt get affected by that

strong forum
#

^

#

Always do that gunker pull

#

Then go from there

solar willow
#

Fair, tyty

oblique garnet
#

Now as for experience in pugs every time ive done it this week there has always been atleast 2-3 casualties because people dont kick

solar willow
#

Ye, inspiring made everyone think cc and int aren't important x.x

oblique garnet
#

Yeah because on tyrannical you could get away with it

solar willow
#

(On a tyr week too)

#

Had some painful pugs yesterday T-T

NO interrupts during wikket.

naive whale
#

I'm overcapping my IP buffer but at least banner keeps going

#

so just spam every key that is shiny and it should work fine

#

execute helps alot, like it's 4s of banner (correct me if i'm wrong) on a full rage exec.

undone verge
naive whale
#

I can always keep it running for at least 45seconds.

#

so until the 2nd demo shout

undone verge
#

oh im talking like straight duration of the buff, ive got around 70-75% uptime in keys if im focused

dawn canyon
zealous willow
#

should i cast TC on cd if i dont have SL avaible

#

i think i focus more on revenge and miss some TC

that hurt my rage regen

This one big in m+ perhaps?

nah it's 1 ppm on the effecct

zinc shale
#

ahh damn thats dogshit

drifting juniper
#

i can't drop chest

#

rocking my 278 breatplate

#

i think i should make unity on it and go with hands for tier

lament shell
#

I use grimrail shield instead has good stats

sick sentinel
#

i wish that effect was something more like "gives armor for duration" and then the on block, assuming it does at least more than 1 shock block, but it doesn't actually bug me huge

#

cuz, like, in a +15, 10k, is 1 boss ability, or an elites melee unmitigated on fort say....

#

and then i could imagine, you have a whole bunch of adds around you with an elite or boss, and then this procs, and the elite or boss does its thing, hits you for say 11.5k, (is 10,992 his picture), and then you get maybe 1 damage for 1450 off a 1 minute cd

#

Hi, can you guys help me to know wich stat take un war prot in mm+ ?
I don’t know if i have to take haste or poly ?

coral marsh
#

is prot currently better than dk what do you think?

grave crane
#

idk what poly is ? but haste is our best secondary. you take ilvl over all then haste if you have a choice

hollow sun
coral marsh
#

prot was a dog for all of sl before the ip buff

lofty widget
grave crane
#

LOL what does that even mean?

coral marsh
#

prot was also only good for the dps in bfa and then they gutted that and prot was still the most squishy

blazing condor
#

prot was great from reprisal

hollow sun
blazing condor
#

then banner made us better

red siren
#

Sorry guys i mean Versatility (poly is french)

#

So u choose haste buff in mm+ before the start of dungeon ?

open gazelle
#

how are you not keeping your banner up for at least 1 minute? mine always seems to fall off at 1.5 mins so i usually just have about a 30 sec cd on banner. in higher keys i keep it going for 2 mins id say

lofty widget
#

you can read the pins for the pros/cons of all 4 stats

#

but haste is generally the go-to

red siren
#

Ok thank you guys ! I will read it

coral marsh
#

if you are undergeared just take verse

verse is the best to get carried by the healer

if anything vers is better the more gear you have

quaint glade

It was good before meta slaves started playing it lol

south zealot
#

i think vers is still bad brw

#

btw

grave crane

i dont thin meta slaves have even started yet lol

lusty tiger
#

I take an extra stack of anything if my rl needs to buy some extra time or cover a mechanic as the other tank. Almost never even get close to dying

south zealot

haste is just so much better than verse its not even funny

south zealot
#

yeah i agree

lusty tiger

Almost killed eye mythic tanking add + miniboss

south zealot
# cobalt seal ???

vers is still bad, but if you are reducing more damage with higher armor and block? the % damage reduction from versis more damage reduced in totality

cobalt seal
#

hum

#

what

lofty widget
#

nah its opposite

#

you take more dmg with low gear so vers reduces more oveall dmg

chilly brook
#

In general people need to stop being so concerned about the “best” tank

quaint glade
#

Ilvl>anything

south zealot
#

wait

cobalt seal
#

pwar is the best tank lol

south zealot
#

youre right im an idiot

cobalt seal
#

and it's not fair

#

a good pwar will shit on bdk in high keys

lofty widget
#

still not a stat you take "to be tankier"

quaint glade
south zealot
#

ye unless you literally cannot survive without 5% dr its troll

#

and even then haste will give more rage with more heals shield block and ignore pain

chilly brook
#

Just play what you find fun and learn how to play well

chilly brook
lusty tiger
#

Every time I swap a piece with vers off the str increase never makes me feel squishier

chilly brook
#

You just don’t actively stack it over everything else on this class

south zealot
lofty widget
#

oh yea thats what i meant

#

dont mind a bit of vers with my haste

chilly brook
#

Because, surprise, good play is the majority of your survival

#

We moved away from stat based tanking a long time ago in WoW

I really dont know

am i the only one that didnt know flametongue in grimrail empowers auto attacks

to do a ton of magic damage

cobalt seal
#

why I have to explain why warrior is better than bdk lol

south zealot
#

i would just move out of it and sometimes wouldnt move the adds out

lmao

sick sentinel

make sure to go to elwynn/durotar and kill a bunch of lvl 5 wolfs 400 times to levle up your weapon skill when u get a mace that u have to pay 5 gold to equip

and miss all ur attacks during this time

chilly brook

Excuse me sir

It’s only 9 silver to train weapons

coral marsh

how do you aggro the little adds on lkara boss 1

south zealot
#

the forks?

#

just attack them but they bleed other melees and jump around sometimes

coral marsh
#

when i attack them i stop facing boss and take dmg

drifting juniper
#

going to make my hands tier set

#

and it generally makes me sad

south zealot
#

they spawn on top of the boss

south zealot
#

you either have to have hands or legs as tier

#

id rather have hands

drifting juniper
#

i have legs

#

i am making unity on chest

south zealot
drifting juniper
#

its last season 278 and i have no luck

south zealot
#

can just farm +2s for a chest

#

get valor in the process

drifting juniper
#

stats after the change

south zealot
#

ok or not

drifting juniper
#

it'll do for now

#

its 30 str diffrence

south zealot
#

278 would do for now too lol

drifting juniper
#

nah little things makes diffrence

south zealot
#

what key levels are you doing

#

or what raid

cobalt seal
#

Since I clearly have to explain why Pwar is superior to BDK in S4

#

Pwar rage is beyond overflowed with proper play

#

Pwar dmg intake is way smoother for healer, and dont die to rng (oh no I didn't parry 3 melee in a row - procs purg; unlucky again - Floor pov)

south zealot
#

dk is beyond overflowed for free

cobalt seal
#

Pwar spell reflect is OP as fuck in S4

cobalt seal
#

A GOOD PWAR

south zealot
#

why are all the top tank’s playind dk

cobalt seal
#

low skillfloor

quaint glade
#

Just take haste affix

#

And chill

#

:>

south zealot
#

so the best tanks in the world are playing an inferior spec bc its easier

cobalt seal
#

you actually need to be good at the game to play pwar

#

as it is rn

cobalt seal
quaint glade
#

It is undying piece of shit

drifting juniper
stuck rock
#

Bdk has better damage and items with fated raids. Bdk can survive keys fine=its the tank top players are going to push with and the best and doing so. Its like the healer situation if it does the most damage and can heal the higher keys it going to be the meta pick.

chrome falcon
#

Nah I don’t actually think bdk can survive giga fort keys anymore

#

With bad parry luck

#

But those players are better than me so who knows

south zealot
#

if youre one of the highest io tanks you are a good tank in some capacity

dawn canyon
#

naowh is not a bad tank

south zealot
stuck rock
cobalt seal
#

and come back

#

2 of the top 5 tanks

#

that play like shit

lofty widget
#

a high io tank can be heavily carried by his team yea

south zealot
#

thats true obviously

#

but if youre tankjng 27s+ youre doing something right

stuck rock
#

I do think prot will be 2nd best but it will still not see much play and will fly under the radar like last season

strong forum
#

its not as much under the radar anymore

#

but yeah

cobalt seal
strong forum
#

alot of people wont try to commit a different tank because its a very short season

cobalt seal
#

playing the spec is a dif thing

stuck rock
#

But I dont see it getting as much popularity as it should not a lot of people will reroll

strong forum
#

it wont

zealous willow
#

most try hards will go dk its obvious

#

its simply the best dps

#

its like going

#

bm hunter when u have survival

strong forum
#

to be fair, BM owns currently (in raid)

zealous willow
#

if u play m20-25 u can all tanks

#

bm is good y in ST

stuck rock
#

And still If I were to be a tank from a high push group I wouldnt go prot warrior because there is so much stuff going on in a 28 for example that it would be easier to play a less demanding tank that can let you focus more on the key

zealous willow
#

but u cant make 140k aoe burst like survival

#

or hold sustain aoe dmg like MM

#

bm shines on single target dmg

strong forum
#

actually MMs only niche from what i know is burst aoe

zealous willow
#

im hapy with warr btw

strong forum
#

im fine with pwar as it is

#

there are some things that i still find bullshit

#

aka gavel still existing

#

but aside from that we gucci

stuck rock
#

Gavel is busted. Imagine a str weapon being bis for bears because its just that strong

south zealot
zealous willow
#

i talked a bit with azortharion abt hunters and he said that MM curently is boring game play , but MM aoe is predictable and stable to make , SV is fun , but u have rng on bombs and hard to predict ur burst to make max dps

#

but survival is curently best overall

#

Bears used STR in wotlk too

#

it gives 2 ap per 1 str

#

agility 1 ap per 1

#

Actualy i was hoping to see warrior tank with 2h and shield something , but they wont give us this

cobalt seal
south zealot
#

mm hits nice burst

cobalt seal
#

anyone can see nerf misplaying pwar or bdk or bear or vdh or monk or ppala

#

you just need 2minutes of stream

#

but it's not small misplays

#

I don't need higher io than him to see that

#

neither does that prove anything

zealous willow
#

u can ez make some big rio if u have rly good dps with u tbh

south zealot
#

the point im making jd

#

is

#

go do those keys

#

prove youre better

stuck rock
cobalt seal
#

But I'm not better

zealous willow
#

im not saying im better than him or someone

south zealot
#

not you

south zealot
#

i mean cromation

zealous willow
#

but i simply cant do big keys cus i dont have premade op dps with me

#

im sure if all of us has his dps

we will be at least more rio

If you’ve never done coordinated high keys, kinda hard to knock anyone

south zealot
#

if youre not good enough

#

It’s not me it’s my teammates 🤔

south zealot
#

where people dont recognize you

#

and invite you because of previous experiences

#

and youre not trying to add new players that are good after keys

#

you cant blame your groups

slim zinc
#

You don't need to do high keys to see that if you're consistently dropping banner after 35-45 seconds you are doing something wrong

livid osprey
#

I've got a question. How can I play when fighting with Wranglers on ID? Standing in melee doesnt really work they still throw me

#

and it hurts like a truck

so explain me what he did right in that clip

#

I give you a hint. It's worthless on the right side of ,

real fossil
#

Ah yes, cherry-picking. Super good strat keep it up 👍🏼

slim zinc
#

Doing high keys is more about doing mechanics, planning cc/kicks and time than it is about being the best at your class

south zealot
#

ye he obviously trolled there

slim zinc
#

Being a god at your rotation doesn't matter if all the group killing kicks go through

#

He panicked

#

Because he was on the wrong spell bar

south zealot
#

that pack is a domino effect

if u make one mistake everythinf goes to shit

Depending on spec and performance obviously

south zealot

cobalt seal

You can be a good player and make mistakes

#

Shitloads of them

cinder storm
#

That statement is true because I'm one of them

cobalt seal
#

and think because you are a top player, they know better

south zealot
#

i said if youre doing 27s+ youre doing something right not everything

cobalt seal
#

and that something is knowing mechanics and good dungeon planner/shotcaller

#

(in some cases)

mint drift
#

Is mech ring sets better than two high haste rings?

cinder storm
#

Also helps having social skills and being able to maintain a certain level of consistency

#

Even if he's bad, he's consistently bad

mint drift
#

By how much May I know?

#

Usually high haste ring is like 200ish each

slim zinc
#

it's up to 112 free stats

#

You want more than just haste

#

haste is good but other stats doesn't hurt you

#

and 100 free stats is a lot

strong forum
#

treat the mechagon ring combo as free 6sockets

#

rather than just "lots of haste"

mint drift
#

Sounds legit

strong forum
#

and the rule of "more stats > better stats" is still in effect, it just so happens to be that its a favourables stat from those rings

queen hemlock
#

How do people proc reprisal charge on m+

#

I mean in mid battle

hollow sun
#

you get away from mobs and charge

queen hemlock
hollow sun
#

either heroic leap if you can't

#

or shockwave and then charge

queen hemlock
#

Think one of the higher peeps did it but i tried replicating i cant

hollow sun
#

it depends on the situation

queen hemlock
#

Oh yea shockwave charge

hollow sun
#

its not ideal tbh but if you are stunning mobs anyway you can as well put a charge as well

#

then some mobs just stand still or cast, you can as well use those windows to charge

queen hemlock
#

But is the max attack range jump back to charge thing possible?

#

I know alot of mobs practically hugging me when they are attacking

#

Or is the example vid above just for bosses

dawn canyon
#

Leap works but slows also do

#

And if you are at max mele range like matt is you can charge easier

#

As it's less distance

hollow sun
#

for bosses you need to learn when you can get away from them

#

for a safe charge

#

its just knowledge and practice tbh

#

some bosses wipe the party if you don't stand in melee, so be mindful of that

#

you can also intervene a caster and charge back

#

there are a lot of possibilities

queen hemlock
#

Just asking as i literally never use charge after the initial cast

#

Then i saw one of the guys here's vid and saw that

hollow sun
#

then you are probably getting trucked by mobs since you have low shield block uptime without charging

queen hemlock
#

From time to time yea

#

On another note
Is it better to pre cast fleshcraft of cast it as another mitigation

#

Ive been keeping it for emergencies and sometimes never used it in a dungeon

hollow sun
#

i use it as mitigation for specific scenarios / casts but you never hold on your defensives for too long. Fleshcraft is a little different since its a long cast and you can't block during it, so personally i just use it as a dr for a specific time. But that could be wrong

queen hemlock
#

Yea likewise
But it always feels like a waste to hold it for those specific scenarios or as a panic mitigation button that is rarely required

#

Since it has the more dead trash faster cd inbuild

hollow sun
#

you stand still casting for too long imo it's just not worth to pause so frenquently. If your healer is drinking or something then sure, otherwise its quite clunky

#

currently +12

#

with 260 gear

chrome falcon
#

anything should be pretty easy at that level but yeah docks and kara are probably the hardest

coral marsh
#

well it doesnt really matter it just depends on gear

#

you can also rofl +20 with mythic raid gear

chrome falcon
#

i'm afraid to say that's cope

coral marsh
#

na that's just how it is, game was always about gear and skill secondary

chrome falcon
#

i can neither confirm nor deny whether you're a shitter without logs

coral marsh
#

but sure below 10 is easier cause less affixes

#

but thats it

#

my question is just if you also feel if they are overtuned

#

if you dont overgear them, obviously

lofty widget
#

ID is a bit overtuned, but it's not tank dmg mostly

#

cant say about kara havent run that place since day 1 keks

coral marsh
#

i mean dungeons like taz are legit braindead easy in comparison

south zealot
#

id throw is overtuned

#

everything else seems fine imo

zealous willow
#

where is the vendor

south zealot
#

maybe everything has a little too much health but its not a big deal at all

zealous willow
#

for 10k flux conduits

south zealot
#

kara is pretty dumb

#

upper seems reasonable but lower is rough as hell

chrome falcon
#

haven

#

and yeah lower is stupid

#

it was stupid in legion and it's stupid now

sand egret
#

huge vers gains

south zealot
#

no haste its bad

#

jk thats a sick upgrade

grave crane
#

The only section of upper is that room right after mana devour if no one intercepts the purple balls and the bridge after

sand egret
#

man having an actual block value lets gooo

coral marsh
#

is it still possible that runs dont show up on raider if the leaderboard is full or is that gone since blizz made their own point system?

I just got an i298 wep token from weekly. Should I buy a weapon or a shield?

its not the same token

theres a weapon token and a shield/offhand token

Well that makes it easy lol

Can someone send me the stat weights for Prot warrior?(pawn)

There arent any

Yeah strength > all other stats

Oh alright

#

u guys go embalmer or shadowcore

urban portal
#

Just use stones

#

Shadowcore is more st damage

hazy edge

Stones are better st dam

urban portal

Oh rly

#

Out of loop

brisk sparrow
#

got the mechagon shield - but had an 246 shield before - so it is an upgrade even if it is bad, right?

Yes, the blockvalue is the most important about your shield

thank you 🙂

21 Lower

#

No fucking clue

#

Why people

#

Are so carry

#

Barely timed it and it was pretty much me and lock/ret

strong forum
#

ive found that dps dont know how to dps

waxen orbit
#

It's incredible

#

Genuinely incredible

#

Ele sham is quite possibly one of the easiest rotations to play correctly

charred idol
#

Just for the sake of argument. Lets say you have both 230 weapon and 230 shield, and you get a choice of either a 250 wep or shield. What has prio and why? 🙂

patent osprey
#

shield = live longer = time key = more uptime = more dps = less kite

#

ook ook

charred idol
#

👍 😆

lament shell
#

This week kiting so annoying

sonic crag
#

Did a 16 Grimrail with 1 min to spare. You wont find me in there again this week

waxen orbit
#

The kiting is fine

The DPS who can't place their AOE to accommodate and predict the fact that you will start moving when sanguine drops, who also then complain and blame you for their low DPS, are the real affix

lament shell
#

rember yall to reflect last boss on grimrail

#

vapid lynx
#

wait

#

which part do u reflect

summer pelican
south zealot
#

no

chrome falcon

No the shit on the ground

vapid lynx
#

😮

chrome falcon
#

I didn’t know it did damage back though

#

My WA doesn’t tell me about it

sonic crag
#

What kind of WA?

#

One that tells you what is reflectable?

#

Cause I'd do degenerate things for that

toxic pewter
#

i think that exists afaik

#

i dont use it but its pretty popular, if you check pins in weakaura channel iirc

sonic crag
chrome falcon
#

my WA just tells me when it does damage

#

which is hilarious that we need a WA for that considering it used to show up as combat text in classic/tbc

sonic crag
#

Can you point me to that WA though?

#

Not on my PC and don't see it in the pins here or other channels

lofty widget
#

doesnt it still show up

#

as combat text

chrome falcon
#

Uh

#

Not for me?

#

Hence why I needed a weak aura for it

#

Might just be because I use parrot?

oblique garnet
#

deswind maybe not so washed afterall

chrome falcon
#

weird

#

maybe there's a setting for it in the addon

#

late gaming

oblique garnet
#

All pugs no comms CatjamR

#

well except lower

chrome falcon
#

i need to improve my karas

#

i want to time a 22 docks this week but idk man that dungeon is so stupid

oblique garnet
#

You know its only hard in the beginning because people dont go to melee and the mobs just charge and leave a dot peepohide

chrome falcon
#

ok so that thing does only charge ranged?

#

i knew it

coral marsh
#

how do you deal with the last boss in upper kara in last phase, do you rush to boss or do adds first?

chrome falcon
#

i knew that warlock was talking shit

#

you do both

#

you grab the adds and rush to the boss

lofty widget
#

you kinda wanna kick boss fast on higher keys since he pulses aoe

mortal brook
#

rush boss, kick very late

lofty widget
#

at least thats what my healer told me

coral marsh
#

and how do you aggro them then, just aoe taunt?

mortal brook
#

hit them in the face

lofty widget
#

swing a few revenges

oblique garnet
#

these and technicians iirc do the charge and it only does it when someone is in range

lofty widget
#

technician grenades also fuck

chrome falcon
#

the adds are just regular melee chumps

#

you just run into them and cast aoe spells

oblique garnet
#

oh yeah technicians are grenade boys yeah

chrome falcon
#

yeah it's funny

#

i thought the 2 dudes with guns would be the problem

lofty widget
#

they are as well

chrome falcon
#

but it's actually just the guys that look like regular plebs

#

not as much as the charges tbh if you're not dwarf that bleed is ridiculous

oblique garnet
#

90% of the issues are from people just not being in melee

coral marsh
#

and the trash before the chess, where do you start invis potting to skip?

chrome falcon
#

as late as possible if you're skipping both packs

oblique garnet
coral marsh
#

so its fine if the bats aggro you

lofty widget
#

it wont

#

you can get as close to the pack on the bridge without bodypulling before invising

coral marsh
#

we just ran before the pack, bats spat at us and shroud did fail for some reason

chrome falcon
#

bats will always spit

#

that's not aggro

#

the only way to aggro them is to taunt them

lofty widget
#

you can shroud past those 2 mobs i think

oblique garnet
#

shroud will fail if its not distracted properly

lofty widget
#

its too tight

oblique garnet
#

I dont remember if rogues can sap the mobs or not

lofty widget
#

pretty sure you cant

coral marsh
#

ah sad that bricked a key, ty

vapid lynx
#

my banner uptime slowly getting better up from 60-62 in gambit to 70%

chrome falcon
#

getting there

#

70% not bad in gambit at all with the forced downtime

vapid lynx
#

my dps is also going, only 12.2k but 🤷 bettert han the sub 10ks ive been doing

#

i dont think im casting revenge enough, cause revenge and SS were neck and neck in damage

waxen orbit
#

Rev should be slightly further in most dungeons

vapid lynx
#

yeah that was my damage breakdown for my 17Gambit

dawn canyon
#

where is execute garms

vapid lynx
#

right below ravager

dawn canyon
vapid lynx
#

its right there, guess i need to execute more too

hazy edge
#

Execute is usually my 3rd highest ability

vapid lynx
#

oh damn

#

im really not executing enough

waxen orbit
#

Execute way too low

vapid lynx
#

ok fixing to do a 19WS soon so ill try adjusting

dawn canyon
#

WS will be giga exe peepo

oblique garnet
#

This is why warriors usually dont get to have fun with spell reflect

vapid lynx
#

i just get scared executing in AoE..... idk have this paranoia about doing it in AoE and not spedning the rage on IP 🤷

chrome falcon
#

IP SUX

hazy edge
vapid lynx
#

like i know its not good in my mind

#

but then i get into big AoE pulls and im like, IP>Execute and idk why

pallid quiver
#

anytime you find yourself thinking that, just go to the tanking dummy, hit it until execute range, and then start slapping execute and watch indomitable work

#

It's like magic

vapid lynx
#

oh thats a good point

hollow sun

if SR is that high it's gotta be upper right

chrome falcon

actually idk if you can do 3 mill in upper like

lofty widget

nah you can

chrome falcon
#

does curator puddle do damage back?

lofty widget
#

well last boss alone is like 1.5-2 mill

chrome falcon
#

is it really that much jesus

lofty widget
#

at least in the key i just ran

hollow sun
#

i have done only one run of karazhan so far, what can you reflect from there?

chrome falcon
#

i know the base reflect is like 100k but the dot really fucks that hard

#

the last boss kickable

#

does a huge chunk and then a huge dot

lofty widget
#

same shenanigans as the flamespitters in irondocks

hollow sun

ah the one that the healer need to be careful dispelling?

chrome falcon

no

health never shifts, think i got it 😛

sick sentinel
chrome falcon
#

no, it's not good

sick sentinel
#

this is on my mage but is it any good for us like tanks and say healers maybe?

chrome falcon
#

you can basically ignore the effect entirely and just treat it like a bad vers/mast ring

dawn canyon
#

if you dont go afk for p3

#

you arent playing WS properly

lofty widget
#

gotta get that last execute in

dawn canyon
#

ideally a dps dies to it

chrome falcon
#

i had a very bad group who made me solo the last 30% of the boss

dawn canyon
chrome falcon
#

and i did just tab out and go make food while i meleed the last boss to death

sick sentinel
#

yeah, like, its on my mage, but, it got me thinking cuz thats clearly a tank thing i'd imagine

What are you meant to do against piercing missiels? that shit hurts so much even with SW IP, saving spell reflect for final tick or is it better to just insta interrupt it

(this was a 21)

pretty sure our mage had never done the key before

picked up rune on first boss then literally combusted him while he was immune

failed 3 consecutive immune clears on last boss which is why we all died

guys i want to play prot war but reprisal looks akward for me, is the gameplay really like " interv out wait 4 sec charge in 4 sec etc" ? Or does it change nothing in th egameplay

sick sentinel
#

so then every quest or whatever u do after gives u 1 and u only need to do 20 things to complete each covenenant you want to main

rotund sluice

you'll probably cap out renown pretty fast. it might be worth it to dance around on covenants while you're still doing world content to cap out a couple covenants in case you ever play a dps offspec

i only play prot and sometimes arms i have no idea what arms goes for now for pvp

costs 500 gold at vendor if you did some achievement (probably 80 reknown once)

yes, it is very awkward

sick sentinel
#

delete reprisal

fallen belfry

Idk I enjoy reprisal

#

My only issue with prot war at this point is the terrible dps for the effort required.

chrome falcon
#

?

#

scroll up

#

to late's last message

lusty grotto
#

reprisal is gameplay departure of what we had to do, esp for boomers like me

#

outside of kiting shit in bfa with the tclap conflict thing

#

so thats why people dont like it and i agree

fallen belfry
#

Yeah and prot pally or blood DK can afk do that dps lol

i've decided to take a hands off approach to tanking, and play on my mage

and lets see what the other tanks do and where they like to go most

#

or, if i'm gunna play tank, play something another POV different abilities

chrome falcon
#

you can't say

#

"prot warrior dps is terrible"

#

then immediately change to "ok prot warrior dps is good but it's hard to pull off"

fallen belfry
#

I said for the effort

#

If you read what I posted

chrome falcon
#

20k is not terrible dps for the effort though

#

also idk man if your issue with prot is that you have to put in effort to get results

fallen belfry
#

We were talking about reprisal use... I think you misunderstood me

#

Or I want clear

#

Wasnt

#

My bad

chrome falcon
#

i mean i thought it was pretty clear when you said you thought prot warrior's dps was terrible for the effort required but

#

sure whatever

mortal brook
#

same tbh. a LOT of effort goes into performing well for many tanks, such as the guardian druid. ive worn out like four keys pressing thrash over and over, im running out of binds.

chrome falcon

get a camera

bind thrash to blink

#

i'd suggest doing the same thing with a heart rate monitor but

my resting heart rate when i play bear is 30bpm
