holy fuck
that's so bad for DK
with all their parry
how has anyone ever actually worn this trinket
and not hated themselves
in s3 everyone was so hyped about it
fun fact
im genuinely happy i didnt get it to drop
in s2 and s3 it was always worse than RDM
but the top io ppl still are running it so it must be good right ? C:

Wait so how tf does Rygelon work
no there's no way it has always worked like that
rygelon melees alot
i SWEAR my BDK reflected for like 50k
why are they running it tho
off a rygelon massive bang
cuz theyre dumb
let me check
But isn’t the Rygelon shit the magic?
its physical iirc
No shot it’s always worked like that
getting the proc is different
or you mean the melees
or wait
once codex procs, it does its absorb
but GETTING THE PROC
Oh
only works off of auto attacks
So
Dogshit stamina trinket anyways 
Monk mastery doesn’t work on it
Wouldnt surprise me
lemme check
I’ve had over 1000% dodge as monk
Wait
No
That checks out actually
Wait
No
Fuck now I’m confused I hate this stupid trinket
codex did proc on that fight
This
last boss nw "casts" are auto attacks no?
L idiot specs
anyone know if we have any heals other than victory rush that can crit?
so basically theyre like "shoot"
it can not
got drape of shame and curious if its worth using
indom can not
IV/VR
okay dope that makes sense thanks guys
mechagon heal ring can crit :v)
those can crit
but don't do that
i would rather skip them than wear that trinket
probably not
since its physical spell 🙂
oh yeah i just mean if it's proc'd
we finally found a way to mitigate it

i think that dude that tanks with yuumy, the paladin doing like 30s, he's wearing codex
but i dunno if it's good for paladin or not
vendor spec?

pretty sure codex is unlikely to proc on those packs
i was watching tattman
codex uptime wasnt that bad on the pull
he accidentally broke cc on the 2nd throw
if he didnt have codex he was dead
he barely lived
not saying codex is good
but it idd something there
it has its uses in bleeding edge keys
well thats a very niche scenario of an unmitigatable attack
being able to be mitigated by 10%
anyone denying that who isn't doing bleeding edge keys is dumb imo
i just mean in general cross the tanks
this is 1 extremely specific example
ye
its literally only good for VDH
because this conversation happens daily in every tank cord
Again I don't think you can really pass judgment on content that you aren't doing that's so far removed from what you are doing
The literal best tanks in the world would not be using it otherwise
i mean you can when it's just numerically provable by logs or
but your logs or their logs
theirs.
agreed
that doesnt mean i will use it myself
because it will not provide the same thing for me
because im not doing 30s
but if someone is only doing 20s
Are you calling tattman one of the best tanks in the world?

their opinion on 30s isn't very relevant imo compared to the ones doing it
no i'm calling drohgoh, naowh, nerf, etc.
i have no idea who tattman is lmao
plenty of people are using codex for the wrong reasons
lmao
nerf 
Hes good m+ tank but my god he needs to learn the base specs
He is fucking awful at warrior
he's not that great of a raider
nono
any tank
go ask the bears, vdhs or bdks how they feel about nerf
youll find the same responses
again--he's doing something right that is working for him. Whether that applies to the general population is up for debate.
And he is doing harder content than you, so I'm going to take his word for his content.
throwback to s1 when he did 27s on bear and the only frenzied regens he used were the ones that procced from being low
yes that "something right" is being very good at mythic in general and playing with 4 other extremely good players
it's not gospel
throwback to s1 when he only used convoke 4 times per key
throwback to s3 on bdk when he only pressed tombstone 5 times in PF32
when its supposed to be used roughly 1 per minute
Its basic things like using your active mitigation to make it alot easier on the healer etc that he is saving for idk what
throwback to nerf saying haste/vers weapon is better than gavel cuz it averages out better over a key
yikes
which is absolutely astronomically wrong
ok maybe nerf wasnt the best example i was just fishing for names tbh
nerf is good at keys
and he has a good group
but hes not good at his classes
same with alot of other high key players
So why are they the ones on top, is my question
Because they play keys 12 hours a day with same group?
because they are the ones that bother and have the group coordination to do so
if anything
So anyone could just do that then
Pretty much
if they just play 12hrs/day with the same group
this confirms that you dont need to be the best at your individual class, but rather need to have a good group coordination
Assuming the group has decent players then yeah
Theres a reason petko was high on m+ rankings too
quite literally yes
Well then I urge y'all to get out there and push some 35s
It's all about coordination and awereness
not based
^
if someone paid me to do it sure
Im working on it but finding a group is the issue
that is very fair i do know that feel
but finding a group is the problem
i'm at 2500 right now
then just dont 🤷
we have 3 consistent people
1 on and off
but healer is about to start school again so rip her
I can maybe grab like 1-2 people for couple of keys and do like 3-4 keys before people quit
thats 3 more than me
i'm 2.4 off just pugs
problem is that doing some of the shit in docks and lower it's just horrific off discord
I run with the same healer/lock mostly because they're around
oh for sure
bricked 23 docks yesterday because they sent stars at complete wrong time
literally hit 2 mobs with final star 🙂
F
even though i specifically said "let the lock do the stars, he is in discord with me"
nish
sup
does doing 25s with ultra off meta comp count as high content
like say
but the difference between a 25 and 30 is pretty staggering
keys without a dps
eh
and keys without a healer?
tanks are effectively both of those right now
if it's a 5 tank group that you're getting at
ye

People see the keys they complete, you don't see the dozens of keys they brick practicing
Would be fun to see how high you can go with only tanks tbh
p sure there are ppl who do that
every season
I did a 2x tank low jy and the guardian was ripping over 100k dps pulls
usually decently far past average pug keys
youll be delighted at what we have planned
and they learn things from that
it's not like they fluke their way through it after 200 tries
Right
also tbf you do see a lot of those keys because they stream most of them, depending on the player
exception being hiding TGP strats right now
Hide TGP strats for now and when the tourney begins people just adapt to them 
Are you me?, The rogue who disregarded that then said back to me, "well tell me when then" after he used two stars, second one was used asap
lmao
"i told you don't, bitch"
They strategize andvwoek on them, it's the coordination and knowing what to do in each instance and pull
well the TGP keys will likely not be on the actual event
yeah i don't really see the point you're making
yeah those strats are usually risky af
They plan their keys as raid leaders plan their mythic raids. The difference is not skill, but coordination and preparation mostly
and do take a lot of tries to get right, and aren't easily replicable
those are skills
mechanical skill is absolutely necessary as well
if you press your buttons wrong eventually you just die
or you dont do enough dps to time
With skills I meant how well you play your class
Which is something most people fail to see, they see someone playing the class they like or fotm and often forget there's 4 more people playing at the same level
^
no
thats literally me everytime
or im not at pc
and when i get back
its filled

😂 👉

wanna come keys
this man messaged me when last boss mechagon was 16% and by the time it was dead
"nvm"

i would rather do keys with nome than pugs tbh
5 tank 21 upper
Wanna come na do keys
He doesnt banner for the team 
just fleshcraft the flame wreathe smile
Nome is griefing

who would
I do
and for emergency have your friendly neighbourhood mandatory prot paladin
or do you have just 2 of the tanks without wreathe
go afk away from the boss during it
you can space out
dps faster
nerd
gigachad
flame wreathe explosion does like a billion damage right
bubble
moment
i wonder if you can just live with SW SR FC
(does bubble have cap?)
So what’s the meta for 5tank comps then
nah
on 20 fort it does 500k
you wont bring more than 1 bdk
^
anyone have a weakaura that displays itemlevel of healer so i can leave asap?
ideal comp is unironically 1x bdk, 2x pwar, 1x pally and VDH/bear in high target count keys, or a 3rd pwar
nah
venth ppal sucks in keys
you lose like 4k overall just to get a small bit of boss dam
not if you pull 20
I might be wrong but necro is the play for holy
we're talking prot pally
Should I be able to extend banner on dummy for 2m?
yes
Not 2min buff duration tho
keep it up for over 2min, not stack up 2min duration
if youre good you can keep up banner infinitely even on dummies that dont attack you back
I don't get what you mean
i think we have overcomplicated the issue here
yes, you should be able to keep banner up for 2 mins on a dummy
Yeah, that was my question xD
well a person once misunderstood it

and thought he should stack up banner to 2min actual buff display
and not just keep up the buff
Lmao
longest we've seen was 1min actual buff stacked up
i think chimmi got it up to like 1:40 by the end of iron docks so it's doable
nah chimmi posted an SS of at least 1:30 a few days ago
just got declined from a +2
lmao
I've just got what you meant before xd
what the fuck do they want from me
it's very doable in docks tbh
last boss is literally anti banner
?
you get like 10sec of forced downtime every minute or so
minimum
longer if the key is higher and you cant tank cannon barrage
huhhhh
sure but that's counterbalanced by having 3 dudes to execute
one of which has like double standard boss hp
idk how youd manage that there, so much bullshit running around
and hiding
mobs not being close to you
i haven't hid from a single cannon barrage this season
up to 22
you have SW up for all of them
^
this happens way too often
for my sanity to remain intact
not to mention
you cant charge when both minibosses are dead
or even if the first one is dead
for what? for like 10 extra seconds of uptime on the boss multiplied by 3+ cannon barrages
literally cant charge weave
or are you using SW for something else
you need to hold leap for barrage, so you cant do leap charge, and the bosses perma follow you
how could you ever charge weave there, or am i missing smth?
he finishes his cast
at all times
he doesnt randomly stop
no ofc you can't charge weave i wouldn't say that you can
all you can do is IV a ranged and then back in
but there's still no reason not to just tank barrage and go hit the boss
it doesn't kill you so
sure but still i dont see how that would allow you to stack up such a big banner
you need to charge weave for it
70% haste isnt enough
yeah i mean
i'm not gonna pretend i got the 1:45 banner
you'd have to ask chimmi
Maybe not but it for sure will bait my team because i play with apes
but havent struggled with uptime on last boss regardless
Everyone knows defensives exist to let you ignore mechanics and pump harder
its not about struggling
but about questioning the fact of overstacking infinite banner
3rd boss ye, if he lives exceedingly long, thats alot of free charging
overstacking banner requires infinite charge usage and execute
Sure but i also know that if i do that i have 2 mongo melees following me thinking they can live and that just ends up making the key harder
Ive yet to be so close where i would need to greed my globals to time a key
ive had a BDK pretend he could make it
The only time it feels excessive imo is if you’re going way over past its cooldown, cause you do still want to cast it for Kevin and to buff the group
and have the last 20% all to yourself
speaking of execute, cursed overall?
ive had a similar one
lemme check
I mean yeah but that’s also not your fault or problem, they should know better lol
workshop
ah makes sense
Wild phial
was giga gaming 2nd boss hitting it behind the box
sick homer damage
What you guys think of Unbreakable will as a lego?
for DF, has niche uses, but SL, no
pwar requires reprisal, and in raid unbreakable will is pretty weak
ya it makes me very sad, but the rest of homer is very 
for dps sure but as a tank isnt the main goal to keep every one alive? xD
definitely the call for keys where you're confident and you take crit for dam
you should keep yourself alive first and foremost
^
i think you're thinking of healer
@chrome falcon well when you put it like that youre absolutely right my health bar is their problem
no your health bar is definitely your problem
everyone elses' health bar is the healers problem
but in keys tanks actually take dmg and cant tank swap, so youre required to play reprisal
no way around it
i really wanna see how hard we can destroy a 15 with seismic kyrian and take crit from broker
well i had a kyrian seismic gamer in a pug 5 tank key
i almost doubled his dmg cuz he was very poorly informed
(and it was workshop)
yeah no definitely not the play in workshop
which has like
4 pulls with more than 2 mobs
try to tell him that
he didnt believe me that necro is better for keys or raid even for dmg
whoever said to use alt + win + S to make instant screen caps you are a genious and i love you and i will never forget this
i tried telling that to the other tank in an SOD normal pug
when i almost tripled his damage
but alas
alot more simpler
i bought a sylv HC boost cuz i CBA'd pugging, and i beat both their tanks 
sylvanas having no execute phase is still the greatest crime blizz has ever committed
heavily impacting class balance on the last encounter of the instance
for lore reasons
Sylvanas being motes is the greatest crime ever committed
btw!
on track to get a 291 something for magey
The fight will lag so much
Honestly if it werent for ows and shield id be ok with just skipping it
motes should despawn when you've killed 40 of them
People enjoy this game in different ways. If a Prot warrior wants to be Venthyr cause they a cool bitey boi, it's their money. If any Prot warrior does even a wowhead search they will see Necro reprisal is the way to go
why put literally 30 mobs on my screen that do nothing
Oh it’s not just me with sylvanas bad framerate!?!
sure jorag but it's not "i play this because i like it more"
it's "i play this because i think it's stronger even though you have clearly proven otherwise"
motes fucks framerate
thats until they learn it sucks big dicks
and then they go OKAY, what am i SUPPOSED to do
simultaneously
Oh well yeah. That's just wrong.
look up the correct specs
But I've learned to educate people once. If they stick to being wrong, that's on them.
theyre gonna find it bad and say necro is wrong
yeah, im getting to that point with certain tank gearing options
In general in my life that's how I do it
Very useful at work. I stress far less about outcomes
Does recasting Banner while an existing one is active overwrites your duration or does it behave differently?
yes it overwrites
prot warrior in my key
so dont recast banner unless you know you wont drop it soon again
using punish and is nightfae
I stg if we do 5 tank high keys and you dont recast banner im hearthing out
Why not
cuz theres no gain to be had
400 mastery, big 5% dps gain for the tanks
👏
but running into danger of not having banner
later on
I trolled a 16 depot this week. I went Kyrian for DPSing a few keys. Woke up next day. Joined a pug for the key. Did y realize I hadn't swapped back to Necro
How
How do you run into issues with not having banner
why would i recast banner when a boss is coming up or downtime
Ofc im not gonna recast it when theres downtime coming
i thought to myself earlier "yknow i should really just start recasting banner when i have easy uptime"
so i re-popped
But when pack is like 50% and you have it up
then stood in a grenade and instantly died
Nah fam you recast
cuz often i dont omega focus on banner uptime and randomly drop it
Unless there’s RP or some dumb shit
RP makes me sadge

does the buff stack?
yes
yea
if you get 3 banners you get 1200 mastery
Pog dmg
but the buff doesnt extend
only your own banner extends ofc
and you dont run it for the mastery, its just a nice side effect
You 100% should
Honestly you might need the intellect more than the mastery tbh
Legit inting if you dont
if you don't rebanner for your friend's frostwyrm's fury they're not gonna invite you to their birthday party

Bruh it’s a joke
I’m calling people stupid
Also rebannering for big emeni value 

Emeni Wadu hek
more crit
Does lead by example stack
should do yeah
dont think thats worth over homer for dmg
just joined my first key on my druid and what do I see codex on Pwar 
isnt it more woth just playing 1 trinket then 👀
If 3x people use emeni how much is the str you get from it
or do I kindly leave key
well everybody would get 6% + 15% on their own
for 20sec
which is not gonna beat homers perma 3% overall
21% str 
for 20sec, every 2min
Yuge executes
so you gain 18% str during execute, but lose 3% extra dmg below 35% and 18%crit chance for10sec every minute
Sure if you pug
But if you seriously want to do high m+ with 5 tanks you really want to squeeze extra group dps from wherever you can
idk
running in the risk of losing banner vs just pressing it for the sake of it
not a fan
like you only used 4 banners more in the streets we did
you wont lose it
thats what you say
yes
100%
and thats why i dont rebanner when i still have 15sec stacked up
or LS coming back up
Is bonesmith competitive these days I alwasy preferred her over plaguedeviser
homer sims better
is it harder on defensiveness
youre less defensive playing homer
Ok so still same situation hmmm
i just play it cuz i cant utilise a 3rd potency on marileth
if i had a healer to proc the 3rd potency, marileth would be better
ohhhh you generally play with 4 other tanks right
yes
Ok makes sense
And no venthyr so cant even get token 
Can you aegis and still cast abilities?
dude it owns in grimrail depot
What in your guys opinions should the coins be used in next week? Ofc old warriors soul but what else ?
ows then rdm then aegis probably
Shield mby
Isnt aegis overkill?
ows > matrix/shield > aegis
Probably wont be played on forti
I’d think so
in most cases it is
298 on heroic
I could see it being good in like high keys
LoD shield with haste mastery is bis dinar shield
assuming you can upgrade it to mythic
Isnt sylvanas shield the same
sylv is crit vers
My guild runs heroic with minimal mythic prog till DF
and slg shield is vers mastery
is mythic terragrue add a lot of stuff
nah
Crit isn’t a horrible stat honestly
it isnt
No you just go and kill it
crit is amazing vs phys dmg
Vers haste shield
Aegis > all for high keys :) if that's what u want to do
You may not always play OWS, sometimes cheat trinket just safer
for ur dinar
same
same
None got it
same
but I got the fatescribe cheat trinket :)
Pika big fan reason I even started playing prot sorry fast simp and now it’s done. Anywho I didn’t get ether on heroic felt bad
killed it on lfr, normal and heroic still nothing
Our brew master got both
only got shitty alars in CN
Made me sad
for a meme
<3
I got alar but its bugged still and does 0 damage when it goes off 
fatescribe is Def better
?
alar kills my teammates more often than not lol
alars doesnt do dmg anymore
Alar resets after death
oh did they change it
and alars resets on death
Idk if people know thst
cause when I used it in s2/s1 killed teammates all the time lol
When was this change
well it doesnt do dmg right now, dunno if intended or not
Do i have to log in and double check the tooltip
but it doesnt
Is there a way to remove downtimes in keys? (trying to know my cpm's but streets downtime is huge)
Does fateboi trinket reset on death?
no
so if it's fixed it's worse
only if you stack ontop of your party members
Sunking W
alars radius is only 3yd
it's m+ ur always close
Didn’t it get a fix in s4’s release ?
Seems decent for a 22 Lower
3yd is literally stacking ontop of your member
W
literally inside of it
also if ur cheating less than every 8 min, u probably shouldn't be in that key so alar reset doesn't have much value
Is your healer afk
i mean you can just force it
Idk puragtory procs all the time
quickly die somewhere to reset alar

big value gain
people did that all the time with LR and purg in legion
and even with LR in S1 SL
cuz it did that for a while until they changed it
Yeah but dk is also yoyoing all the time
most of my SWs are just for infiltrators so they dont heal

if i dont have reflect up
so, i did the key and we timed it, and so, its literal i just talk to the dude at start and choose my stat and the our group goes and kills shit and when we kill the vampire like guys, the guy from start comes and puts them in cage and i automatically get the buff my choosing? what if i die, say, or other things i should know about it
Ye but they need to nerf the affix idk
found about the purple sleep orb hard way
Did you know that veng dh
I like it
sleep should break on damage imo
You have permanent lust halfway through key lmfao
Lit 🔥
I like it but it's not interesting enough oh its own to make it super fun. It's just passive
the sleep orb sucks
This affix slaps
vdh passive DR isnt that much higher than pwar
main prot stats for an idiot please
and the affix spell should be blockable
pwar during avatar has same magic mit as vdh
strength >> haste >> doesnt really matter
You can reflect everything wdym
Yeah but its definitely better than other shit we have had in SL imo
i may have some new spell reflect tech
yes but for the ones you dont have reflect up
just need to check something
the sleep puddles are obnoxious
or the ones where theres multiple affixes
Yes you can reflect vampiric claw but sometimes you got 2 or casters in a pack
if they remove the sleep, or make them ACTUAL SLEEP AND NOT STUN, or remove the puddle if 1 person soaks it, the affix is infinitely better
Prideful was garbage
OK GAMERS
sometimes u have 3 vampire dudes :) depending on pull
it's possible that we already knew this
but i have big juicy SR tech
for upper kara
chess? last boss
very likely its known
Poison Fang reflect
juicy chess 500k reflect
Ye need to train my friends to focus demons
ok yeah
always focus demons
i figured we probably knew about it already
always
yeah
it could be worse, he could have just done INSTANT random targeted sleeps on random players
ahhh the healers asleep for 27 seconds now
Please explain
if the shield is down as he does his swing
so
or not stunned rather
gotta live mana wurm somehow to become OP though
yeah
unluck
basically
thats what dreadlord does in wc3
ohhh so you have to go in right as he gets stunned
5%
its a targeted sleep
yeah
ahhh i see thats meta
i tried getting into a 25 upper earlier and they wanted a blood
i had the same experience but they wanted a ppala
How do u guys survive those last few trash pack on a 20 iron docks?
cause blood solos mana dev
spell reflect is so so so op in that dungeon
10 stacks was spicy but as soon as boss got to 20% hard chilling on a 22
cause i just get blased to fuck with everything up
Gamer
Some juiced gamers over here
if i can end top 100 by only pugging i'll be happy
but i'd rather end top 25 and actually have a group
ive been playing with a gamer healer
I think i only have 2x tyrannicals above 20 because i was busy farming gear 
gettin carried
we'll start soon late dw
yeah that was strat for legion
prot has been viable for well over a year
we got some minor buffs so people tried it
i was able to count to 5 this morning
and realised that it owns
ignore pain buff was sexy
and realised that i had another hand to hold a shield
and also spell reflect op
especially on upper
now we just need am to reduce last stand and we are literally invincible permanently
LS on am would be too cracked
itd be stupid
we already never die
Pls no
or with tclap
Not enough globals
I wish I was in that same world :(
ID? 
Side note, Sylvanas is a terribly designed tank fight. At least in p1
sylv as tank is insanely boring
Im pretty sure sylvanas is generally not people favorite fight
you can absolutely just reduce that down to "sylvanas is a terrible designed fight"
Just cut it even more to Sylvanas is a terribly
‘Sylvanas is terrible’
'sylv'
fatescribe->KT->sylvanas
And the entire feelings of most of the WoW community as of right now is accurate
‘T’
gotta be the worst 3 consecutive bosses
ever made
yknow that one scene from naked gun
with the boat
that's the last 3 bosses of SoD
just going from fuckup to fuckup
kt is at least funny from an outside view, so he's got that goin' for him
could do without, like
it existing tho
its shit
Its boring
??? there are infinitely worse fights
Kt>the eye
Almost every last boss had an just afk for every single raid
Nono
KT is about as bad as an easy fight can possibly be
like yeah i agree pika from the perspective of actually doing the fight it's not so bad because it's easy
but in terms of its design
and how you spent like 2 mins afk per pull
it's just insanely bad
I like kt
and having to explain to 19 people
weird people consider that a bad fight when back in wotlk loot ship was beloved
nah in SoD i gave up
why they have to spend half the fight afk
kt is literally free loot
Sire danathrius had some of the worst forced downtime
i just focus on myself
loot ship was beloved because it was early enough that pugs could do it
Loot ship wasnt atleast 2nd to last boss
I won’t lie I actually like SOD this is the first time I raided it and I’ve had fun
plus it was novel and unique and saurfang was there
I love it even more that it's free loot not everyone can get lol
but it was boring as fuck no-one actually denied that
i quit ICC after ship
it's like a reward for getting there
i was tilted that the raid released in wings
IDK maybe kt would have been more fun
i wish they made long fights like sylv
where u actually function for 90-100% of the time
cap
you're so fucking blocked dude
get out
We actually oneshot fatescribe today i was surprised
remove p2 from sylv, change her HP from starting at 55% and nuke her down to 0%
I love only doing like 10-15 pulls in 3 hours
FOURTEEN AND A HALF MINUTE fights
focus macro is too powerful
wouldve been infinitely better
shoudlve made sylv go to 0 
p1 was still bad because of stop dps
Was literally typing that
but that's not hard to fix
i will say, progging on long fights it toxic
Just gigachad double arrows
but i like long fights overall tho
idk man blizz learned during WoD on mannoroth
that if the HC fight has a shitty boring phase
you can just
only one per tier tho ofc
It was worse
Hellfire citadel had bis fights other than the first boss imo
I miss that place
hellfire citadel owned
there was literally nothing to do that patch but raidlog
it was amazing
Hellfire assault can fuck off, but the rest of that place is so good
Going to ulduar for the first time as a kid has to be one of my favorite wow moments
i'm gonna nostalgia so hard my eyes roll back into my skull during ulduar classic
That initial span with the vehicles was great

saw my dad playing in dragon soul so i srarted leveling
but i was too scared to raid bc i thought lfr was hard
It had mechanics in cataclysm
Lfr is harder than normal
Hello, how do I find block % on details
I can see shield block uptime but that doesn't take into consideration out of combat and kiting and such
Man this makes me feel like a boomer
