Never pug high keys on a Tuesday
my karas are 17/18 and 18/18
is the tricket from id with ver better then tog?
nah
no mainstat
Hell no
haste also > vers
The trinket from id is ass
i see alot of warrior building vers
they're bad
listen
the only source for pwarr things
that you ever listen to
is this channel
no-one else seems to know wtf they're doing
lol
Why take that trinket when I can get 1500 verse from sigil and pad my execute dmg
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And get mainstat
Then I can call the dps bad when I’m second on dps for heroic nerzul
yeah idk if sigil can ever be good for us
5min CD is too long for tanks in m+
Bear uses cache
Eh still would be weird for best
And gavel
Bear
@mortal brook bear gavel

Cuz gavel puts trinket on CD
That’s so dumb
theres no way it does that
Yeah but it’s dumb
Best conduits for nerco?
every on use shares an icd
Just cause it’s normal by blizzs standards doesn’t make it good
if thats the case im big sad
Every item with n on-use effect puts other items on CD for 30sec
because that would mean i never used my trinket
it's 20 now im psure
Well 20
Yeah I believe it’s 20
Same outcome
yeah 20 because that was what let font work
tbf with gavel
you can pop it
and just leave ghost alive
until your trink comes up
right?
Font was Court of stars right?
Well it'll despawn
what is gravel?
jailer wep
jailer weap
well, gavel is jailer wep
nah font was the azshara trinket
gave you giga main stat for 30 seconds
so you could use that + another on-use trinket
for huge 10 second burst
Ow soul best one right?
gravel is what you put in your driveway
rdm?
reactive defensve matrix
ok
no it doesnt
Any Marcos you guys use?
Polo
That are a must.
a charge/intervene macro
a mouseover intervene one is about it, not really mandatory one
and maybe one for avatar+racial if youre like troll or orc
none that are technically a "must" but something for charge/intervene is very useful
Can you link the macro please?
#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover, help] intervene; charge
this is what i use
/tar randommeleedps
/cast intervene
/targetlasttarget
i use this one just as a super simple no-brain macro that i spam if i just want the block/revenge
having both is ideal
one for when you actually need to IV someone specific
the other one as a mini SB
what do u achieve with the targetlasttarget?
so it doesnt stay on the melee dps
... it targets my last target?
^
without that i would just keep targeting randommeleedps
cant ss your dps sadly
and try to shield slam them
however stupid they might be
i'd take 45 rage over the average hunter player
yup
that reminds me how stupid the infiltrators are
you keep them targeted after they die
yeah
Thanks those are great. That's pretty much all you guys use?
far as macros goes yea
i also have a macro that pops avatar, LS, and banner
i also use at cursor for ravagar
could u guys play on this u think?
that i use for pulls where i have everything up
oh yeah
good point
ravager @ cursor or @ player is nice
saves a click
preference though
Can you link that.
/cast [@cursor] Ravager
/tar randommeleedps
Actually works?!!!!!!!!
that monitor looks crazy
or [@player]
if you want to cast it on yourself every time
but i advice cursor
no jerreee that was just an example
#showtooltip /cast [@cursor] Ravager
Oh ok lol
or [@player]
last ava and banner
oh
well
cmon now i don't need to link you that lmao
you can do that one yourself
lol
/cast Last Stand
/cast Avatar
/cast Conqueror's Banner
is ls with banner the default play?
yeah
well they dont line up always but ye u want to use them together if possible
they should tbh if you play properly
LS is just "add more time to banner"
on a boss yeah
i do that
ravagEr
haha 😄
my spelling sorry
for the lazy ppl u can also shift click i think
from spellbook
how much uptime am i supposed to have on banner?
100%
+80%, ideally 100
you work towards it
100 is a lot easier than you think
Ravager
once you get the hang of it
start with not dropping banner on a pull
that should be the very basic
if you drop banner mid pull then you need to go back to a dummy
then you can figure out how to chain pull
thats just practice tbh
We are wearing the same shoes brother
post a log
i'm looking for someone struggling with banner to post a log so i can do a youtube video on how to analyse logs and compare them
with banner being up all the time do allies also keep the buff for that long?
no
sadly still 15 seconds
1 SW?????
Oh haha
i mean 3 mins is 2 combos right
I was needing to
honestly no idea
i wasnt paying attention
Its just speedrun hc clear fast so we can go to mythic
Ohhh I thought mythic
No ows tho 

So i have Ravager Marco spell as shift-c but this macro not working.
#showtooltip
/cast [@cursor, talent:7/3] Ravager
32 mythic guardian pulls no kill so I had a lot of time to figure out how to basically immune oblit
If I had your cpm I could get SW for each combo, but by the 3rd I was out of juice still had about 30 sec left on SW
I mean at this point shield wall is a minute 30 cd at most
target dummy I can hit almost sub 1 minute
Yea once I figured I could charge while tanking him when he casts beam I could SW the first 2 in a row
But I sorta can sorta can’t intervene the first like 35 sec of the fight
I could only imagine how hard I could juice parses if I already knew these fights and if we didn’t have dps trials in our mythic prog
I keep dropping banner because of looking out for other mechanics so so much to learn still
is there an explanation of how aegis works, sorry if asked before, but does it block magic stuff originating from 'in front of your character' as well?
Ive been using it and it really feels like im almost invulnerable for 8 seconds every 1.5 min
It's any kind of damage at all, reduced by the number on the tooltip
It doesn't stop blocking damage after the offensive part triggers
can it be non targeted abilities too? as long as the mob is in front of me?
like aoe i mean
yeah effecitvely
Guy got a 304 aegis and posted a details of 600k blocked on one use
its very strong
damn its actually stronger than i thought
aoe, dots all of em
everything ye
its abusrd with dots
I think ground effects etc technically originate from caster
i just used it in grimrail i stood in fire LOL
yes
lets say if a dot does 9k
and aegis blocks 8k
you are literally taking 1k dps
its insane
its basically negated almost
yeah it's huge against dots, it was v good against sylvanas mythic back in s2
its extremly powerful on tank with good mitigation
on monk it double dips into stagger
dang
ye on monk its next lvl broken
its actually legit in grimrail
u are god himself for that time
We summon our monk apologist now
but tbh matrix should be better this tier
because its got the better numbers
in terms of scaling
fantastic for sylv if you havent done it there yet
i guess for prot it is because of ows
or is ows just too good
but im bad at maths and spelling
aegis and rdm is that weird
matrix has always been higher HPS than aegis
unless its some cracked MDI run
but aegis is a solid oh shit button
can save a wipe tbh
the 1.5 min cd makes it even stronger
it could of easily been a 2 min cd
it definitely is a no brainer and even works on necrotic i think
Now this is a reason to get 100 stacks
holy shit.. didnt even consider that O_O
Hehe step aside blood dks
Necrolord only in high keys worth or in every level?
Then I'm still playing it wrong. I get almost no uptime. Always only ~35%.
The packs dies too fast. On the way to the next pack does the buff runs out 😂
Are the mechagon rings good for us?
maybe chain pull more if you can
the combo that gives haste is bis
general mistakes are overcapping on rage (u have to pump rage into ip if you are about to overcap) and/or using outburst procs on tc too often (you generate way less rage this way) and/or not using reprisal on cd
please tell me theres iron docks nerfs tomorrow
if packs are dying THAT fast that you can't build up a decent duration in LS, you should probably do bigger keys
One of the rings is crit > haste, the other haste > mast?
you prob want: logic loop of recursion and overclocking bit band
Its a preference between crackling and bounding
ok so prot is literally insane if you actually play it the correct way lol
18 gambit and it didnt even tickle
hell yeah
nobody pay attention to into the fray

I forgot to swap from raid talents
60% avatar busted
Good shit man
tyty
now if only I had ravager...
It’s not even tyrannical
im new to prot and about ready to start doing keys, what should i be focusing on to get uptime like this?
reflect the last tick
chain pull
use ravager/demo shout on cooldown
don't overcap
press shield slam every time it procs
use reprisal properly
You gotta be really aggressive and abuse reprisal
spend outburst on shield slam
Playing slow and steady won't do you any favours
can any gear do it or is it easier with better gear / more shield slam procs / etc.
If your mouse and keyboard aren't this loud, you're doing it wrong.
Plenty of mistakes and missed shield slams in this video but just goes to show you don't need to be remotely perfect to maintain uptime.
Mattacate#3506 if you have questions or just ping me in the protection channel on skyhold!
no
? :C
assuming haste is also chosen for the bounty
It is
trying my best to replicate that walk out charge, i cant do it mang
i mean
Dont press S
your vid made me realise it exist
it's harder on mobs
Strafe it
but there are so many mobs that cast this season
every single mob in grimrail or iron docks has some kind of cast
I just watched you banner video thanks!
does stride vs crackling thunder matter
is workshop's active bracers worth?
i've been finding stride even better recently
Do you have the link to that weak aura you talk about?
because it's harder to reprisal bosses this season than last season
which weakaura
the best for last stand and banner over your health.
oh nah i just made those myself in like 5 seconds
i can link them to you but honestly i'd advise watching a super basic progress bar weakaura tutorial
this gud?
Presets do this nicely
^
not for dmg
No stats = probably bad
learn to do them yourself
just CC them, crit haste will do you lots better
it's not complicated to make a super basic one
even the parry and avoid isnt worth?
Tanks and avoidance isnt really a thing for most keys
what do you need parry for
from 15% 30%
you have block
freeee vengenceeee
revenge! has an ICD
revenge! is 3ppm
oh wtf?
so extra parry wont do anything
like wow you might save 20 rage
for that
woo
thought for 8 seconds of gcd in a 5 pack pull will get vengence for free
didnt know revenge had internal cooldown
bummer
Yea
for banner?
For everything
We generate so much rage that we can't dump it fast enough
Free revenges hurt that process

wouldnt we just spam IP like an idiot to burn off rage or even then its not enough
even if you just dump it on IP?
IP spends 35
We already spam IP like a motherfucker
To the point of the IP CD not being short enough
1sec CD is often times too long
With how much rage we generate with LS and outbursts
oh yea btw matta really thanks to that vid, i never knew i had to proc last stand and spam IP during conq banner
coming into this spec i wouldnt have imagined SL turned it into this APM lol
suddenly my dps can compete with DH in keys lul

We were always insanely fast
Ever since reprisal rework
Even prior to reprisal we were among the fastest specs in the game
Vidya OP
Wrist problems here we come
i use 12 extra keys mouse
my main 2 keys are on SB and IP
Cuz he's using his hands in ways he hadnt before, so he gets actual beneficial exercise
just rub the two keys while pressing vengence SS and clap
Honestly it’s more fingers that get me
i recommend 12 extra side buttons on mouse my dude
coursiar schemitar and or g600? logitech?
i had logitech at first but fucking hell its a fat mouse, wne to buy a corsair one instead
theres no way i would bind any of the big rotation buttons on mouse
Thats legit the fastest way to brick your mouse under a year
only thing i got on mouse is my banner
only have LS, Demoshout, leap and wall on mouse
i have nothing on my mouse
i have 32 buttons iirc
1-6 qertyfghzcv and some control and shift modifiers
i put most of my buttons on mouse and have never caused any damage for years
with the amount of spamming current prot warrior has i dont think my mouse could handle it
my current naga has survived since like 8.1 but
it probably doesn't have much left in the tank
ive gone through 3 nagas in 3 years 
yep that sounds about right
i use almost all my side buttons
they like switch between action bars mid gcd
yeah shift + mousescroll lets you do that iirc
thats fine
Asian apm is built different
i only know the big ppal guy gg
yeah noobadin
my buddy tells me about his routes all the time
hes starting clicking less
the details in the middle of screen
yeah hes a gamer for sure
everyone in youtube comments shits on him tho
:/
if they do theyre casual gamers
Gonna start clicking now
who think doing 25s+ are easy weekly 15s
a good player could outdps the majority of youtuber comments by clicking easily
This key was from Team BFC's WF +30 Junkyard.
this is gaming
ye its nice
i need a big shield block timer
mine is a little small
Need a shield block tracker that covers my entire screen
Gotta make it so that when shield block drops wow uninstalls itself
usually i know when shield block drops bc i immediately die
Just a wa that alt+f4 if shield block runs out
Basically
weakaura thst factory resets pc when shield block runs out
Calls the FBI on your house if sb drops
can you go instantly to the top of moroes after defeating the first boss in lower kara?
Yes
why shroud?
oh wait
I just die and go around
i thought u meant to the ushers
and how do you clear from there
u guys do moroes 2nd?
Yeah
I think it depends on tyran/fort
I like to hero moroes on tyran
Fort I hero huntsman
Although higher keys idk
It’s prob possible
I feel like to lust all 4 you’d need to engage first boss like immediately
i hate lower so much
@oblique garnet can i get a name change
ive been accused of impersonation
which isnt wrong
To ?
"Raid Decanter BIS"
wait u can ask for name changes
so i dont have to type that every day
D:
$rename @urban portal Raid Decanter BIS
Done.
Raid decanter is BiS tbh
SHEESH
I love garrosh screaming in my ear
What about this, shroud to first boss, backtrack the trash before first boss to start, then go to moroes and hero should be up, then shroud through ballroom, clear rooms in maiden till hero, backtrack a bit to attune and hero should be up.
decanter? i hardly know her!
my two lowers pog

Garrosh bdsm is my favorite
could be a thing on tyran
Way less obscure skyhold lore with this name 
on fortified i think lusting horse isnt that much value
you can shroud into invis pot 
Maybe, could Invis to stairs
tru
those damn forks
theres no way to avoid the armor shre dright
shred*
which one do uhave
Wait do EU and NA have different Oprah rotations
wikket is terrible
it's literally 50/50
if the boss delays her cast
it's free
if she doesn't
Westfall story was kinda ass
you only have 4 tornados
oh so u can just lose?
Adds stepping the same person and one’s hitting them
mmmmm sounds like fun!!
lower kara is the worst dungeon ever
have u tried killing the adds 
yeah i really dislike lower
oh
last dungeon in legion
they're really close in terms of being absolutely unplayable
but i think kara wins
i didnt play end of legion so i never got to experience it
lower is so toxic honestly
are people skipping first packs of iron docks these days
its basically designed for you to have arcane torrent
yes and no
its so much easier on the tank to do that trash
and skip as many wranglers
but the dps can get fucked
I heard skip to dreadlord mini boss is good
is it viable to bring this pack into stars too
it's hard but the real gamers do it
yes
you kinda want a rogue/hunter to MD it on to you
Ok thx that make sense
you can bring entire gauntlet to stars
this one?
i have been just CCing one wrangler but skipping it does make sense
you can yeah
i need to find a good hunter or rogue to bring that in
i just kill it for buff
too much work for me to do it
Hunter can get you the gauntlet for stars
does the ironstar have a limit to how many mobs it can kill
and im bad kek
And it saves more time than anything you can do in a key
15 iirc
Ok I figured
15 yeah
rip
yah the ironstars make so much dang %
it was so sad to watch lmao
this is first star
warlock messed up for my group and we didnt recover
you can get back
skipping too much is kind of difficult
2nd star
ya i skip those
and this is last one if you have gamer hunter
whoa
i never even considered that pull O_O
how tf do you do that late
hunter sends in pet
you can skip the last pack too
that is an amazing achievement if done properly
so you can just take the golem and walk from left
I mean technically you can run in and pull it yourself too
yeah
interesting
id and lower 
my tyrannical score is sad because i was farming gear and not pushing 
If I had to heal one more healer I was gonna delete my pally at the beginning of s3
that 3* junkyard nice
ya
its so scuffed
feelsbadman

ez
Lower to a 2 and start over
WE LOVE GRIMRAIL DEPOT

ngl i love grimrail also

Really looking forward to doing some spicy pulls in grimrail without sanguine

What can i do, what can i say?

inshallah my brother
play keys till we time
Impaleww owns so hard
have a 10 key ready and will be 8th, but if it chests, might try more
if it starts at 27 no point not trying it
u play hard game and lower difficulty then it feels easy

Don’t tilt
doing the invis lust mini?
yeah

i fell off 
i was in top 10 week 1 because i did like 150 keys lmfao
2800 gamer pog

you dont get to judge
Woah you actually have a competetive realm?

kinda
there’s a few pushers

)
Insane player?

skylark pushes for 2 weeks then goes afk

: )
@sick sentinel ty
If you cant beat them join them
me being tagged in #protection is a first
i was looking at @oblique garnet standing in Haven before i had to go Kara in classic
im still not used to being designated luster after all this time
jut have to be on finnreaver
I always forget to lust on my shaman
where is pheonix flame in arcane spells

cant find it
i actually took a pic just to prove it
its an OG title
ill take ss if i see him again
They had to add one to uldaman for… reasons
Pirate dragon?
quick question to ur pros:
the wranglers in ID are casting Throw.
Can we disable the cast by placing them with theri back at a wall so they cant disengage
or do they cast still were in melee range?
You better not have that on next expansion or you’ll be in big trouble with the locals!!!!!


it kinda hurts and is not blockable right?

Dragon slayer DK riding around on class mount 
yeah
seems the straegy then
just
cc them
never play 2 at once
funny mechanic
u have to kill the big guys around them anyway which have double the health
Fear, SW, stun
thanks 4 the quick answers
Conspiracy theories say there are Draconians who are hostile to humans. No clue how they would behave to Orcs and Trolls, but being racist to dragon is actually based.
So if there is a dragon in my group I gonna swapblaster him to death all the time.
🙂
👍
seeing as real value in repreisal is in rage and SB time, do you guys ever intervene and charge back in? or try to space out yhour charge/intervenes to maximize revenge! usage
Yes
Death to dragons.
But mostly accidentally
🤳
The red dragons had it coming honestly
sorry was this in asnwer to my question or other convo?
All dragons in my group are about to die. I gonna join our enemy forces because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Gonna roleplay those dragon till they leave
to urs
how are you all proccing rep on mana devourer without leap?
kinda slaps on 24, just sitting there with no block and full charges
but no way to use them 😦
yeah have to intervene
what am i supposed to do phase 1 of grim rails tank or dps perspective
we did it on uh +8 and i didn't really get it
with tank
no, the second sorry after ur on the train
i didn't see the very obviously named and themed "targeting you bombs" that flash red, so i've seen those and i won't ever get him by them again probably
on boss 1
died to him mage
2nd boss
boomers drop shells that u use on boss
3 shells and boss comes out
grenadiers drop grenades u can save for boss or just use on adds
Wonder why only the old orcs have bombs
and then the shrapnel blast ppl drop shrapnel u can use in cannons for boss or adds
i use the shrapnel for boss and grenades for adds
gonna roleplay dragon deez nuts across your face
i use grenades to kill boomers faster
ez
save grenades for last boss
Am I just missing ss https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/CFNWY63dgtkvxZba#fight=32&type=casts&source=21
I kept dropping banner at 30 sec left on boss and I ):
How do I catch more ss
Yea how do I know when I should be tc > rev
I always feel as though it is stopping me from dumping rage (obv wrong way to go about it)
Literally on cooldown??
i miss the rage
in aoe revenge is good because of the fat pump
but idk
it's just a feeling thing
🤷♂️
if you're slow on second boomers you might get a third wave
so grenading them is good
but you just use shrapnel to insta kill boss+adds anyway
so it doesn't matter
what if u dc
Cope, boomer
come back wen boss ded
man ur like 38 wydm
Lmao
or what if you death skip
They can’t ban you if you throw a grenade at them
Dont
throw grenades at all the trash in cars
Once the cast is done you sidestep
Don’t stand in front of it
ITS CALLED THE CUPID SHUFFLE
stun it 👍
eyo
new codex bullshit just dropped
Codex only procs off of attacks coded as auto attacks
that means in high magic dmg situations, like medivh or sylvanas, its borderline impossible to get ANY procs of codex making it even worse of a trinket.
🙂
love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex love codex
you mean HP
no EHP
Lmao
Just remove it
Please
Blizz
also crit is more valuable than vers defensively for bdks
i love the current timeline
How was this found/when did it change
