Theres a shockwave conduit? 😮

Is enforcer stun grenade any good for prot after the buff?

strong forum

I gave a LFR Sigil away yesterday

Bordering completely not fun

oblique garnet

I still have nightmares from BFA when underrots last boss had explosives

#

from the spores

#

That was something else

lusty tiger
#

That dungeon was v fun as a rogue

oblique garnet
#

TD and siege were fine

#

Shrine tho danderson

lusty tiger

But tclap padding

oblique garnet
#

Workshop was also cursed for warriors

Td was fun pulling the trash to the first boss

#

Except when you could bolster bosses

uneven mason
#

🤮

lusty tiger
#

Yeah

#

Bfa bolster and bursting were no joke

#

And quaking

#

They were all very overtuned

#

More like not fully fleshed out actually

uneven mason
#

Well to make it worsr is they ran so counter to our strengths

urban portal
#

is naowh done with prot warrior

uneven mason
#

Like BFA prot could whip out the ae DPS, was horrible when we had to slow down

oblique garnet
#

Hes trialing in echo as dps

#

tanks maybe mdi/tgp

urban portal
#

ah

#

didnt dorki say he wanted to play war

strong forum
#

naowh is for now only tanking mdi/tgp or r1 pushing

urban portal
#

which other famous tank was gonna try prot war

strong forum
#

hes trialing as DPS, but obv might return to raid tanking in DF

#

andy tried prot war, but its too much effort to put into relearning rn

so everyone is done?

plka quit prot for now and is pushing as dps

lusty tiger
#

Ooof

urban portal
#

so no one is actually playing prot war

strong forum
#

none of the top players

urban portal

its ok

this is why our tree is batshit insane in df

we wont get legendaries in DF

none like current legendaries atleast

tiersets yes, "mandatory legendaries" no

I can only imagine what the tier for us would do

#

to me thats just insanely boring

#

but we get tiersets

#

so is ok

lusty tiger
#

That’s fine

#

U want the acquisition of borrowed power to be LESS boring?

strong forum
#

we dont get any borrowed power

#

thats the whole point of the DF talent tree

lusty tiger
#

Yes

#

I don’t like many hoops

#

I login, I follow the pentagonal quests

minor helm
lusty tiger
#

borrowed from your mom

strong forum
#

the idea of borrowed power is like azerite traits and artifact weapon, losing it when the expansion ends

minor helm
#

If you think about it your whole character is borrowed power cause blizzard could just take it away forever when they want

strong forum
#

whereas now with the talent tree, theyre looking to then rather implement what was gained in DF through tiersets

oblique garnet
#

Riot mmo when 🙏

thats the idea

#

dragon riding will likely stay, its too good not to keep

I like first pack workshop tho

zap bots are alright because they dont require you to play around anything

its just a dmg buff

The iron balls are ok too… sometimes

first pack in workshop is ok, because its just 1 pack and you literally cant abuse it for anything else

Dwarf racial pretty helpful but i mis aoe dispel

lusty tiger

I haven’t even noticed needing the racial for like 99% of these dungeons

I only reeeealy wanted it to cleanse bleeds in the non hoa venth dungeon from the gargoyles

lament shell

I usually get to higher keys where it matters wanted to try dwarf this season

Does it cleanse necrotic?

lament shell

It does cleanse necrotic

It does

Ah mayb I stay dark iron

If we upgrade an LFR fated tier chest with mythic tokens it will go to the 311 version right ? I wanna know if I should keep the chest I just got.

real fossil
#

do u spend your outbursts solely on tc with show of force/UF? or like 3+ targets?

lusty tiger
#

I was thinking about that idk if that is good enough for banner uptime

urban portal
lament shell
#

Ye probably if you want to experiment with thundercalp banner isnt right cov

urban portal
#

there are much better things to upgrade

strong forum
#

So that's a negative

#

Banner > all

oblique garnet
#

You press buttons on cd

#

Sometimes it hits outburst sometimes it doesnt

#

On ST you always try to SS tho

real fossil
#

huh

oblique garnet
#

If you use outbursts on tc you will not be able to keep 100% banner uptime

#

Which defeats the entire purpose of playing prot

lament shell
#

Banner makes prot strong

oblique garnet
#

Yes

More banner = big zugzug

I wanted to rip of my hair because he randomly drops banner on st

bruh its a 25 JUNKYARD

Playing the dungeon and having group coordination is alot more important than playing your class perfectly

That is the secret to m+

He also just randomly dies…

To air

urban portal

cuz he has codex

sick sentinel

thats when you get to stop yelling and you evolve into DK/pala

Usually tanks play all the tanks so its more than just knowing your class right?

No way you are otp tank

I'm otp

#

I stay true to myself

patent osprey
#

its the theory vs practice 🙂 You can almost never play optimally in m+, there is too much going on/you have to worry about 🙂 Yeah ofc it sucks to drop banner, not be rotationally correct, or use an outburst on TC when SS is up, but it happens 🙂 Thought process/decisions are more important

oblique garnet
#

You know he started the key with prechanneled fleshcraft they shroud to bossroom to do zulgamux and infiltrator, he has fc active and he proceeds to overwrite it and then he dies because he didnt have it 🙂

shut summit

Otp for life, played dk for some TGP qual shit and hated it

While it is more common for tanks to play multiple ones, it's not entirely common for a tank main to play all tanks

Maybe time to whip out warr for tourney, run it down mid

i can change it to any one of these if you like

If your concentration slips on warrior youre doomed

#

On bdk you press ds and are fine

strong forum
#

Literal training wheels spec

lament shell
#

Like anyone can play bdk its the least punishing tank probably

sick sentinel
#

i turn on cursor trails on windows generally speaking on every computer i own.

#

so, this feels natural to me

lusty tiger
#

I would argue doing a big pull on bdk without a MD is actually hard

#

Need the perfect nascar wheelchair route

lament shell
#

Thats why probably prot being good wont make it meta cuz you need to press more buttons and bdk is at the same level but you need little iq for it

sick sentinel

i'm not super confident about my monk

danderson cant play bdk because its too slow

BDK is fine if you ask me

cuz i play slow in general

lusty tiger

I would play a monk for when I’m really high and tired

oblique garnet

Need that fast paced gameplay to stay focused

For the parry

Parry "gear crit"

Wtf

And you'll reach 90%+ parry chance

lusty tiger
#

Wtb healing tho

strong forum
#

What healing

lusty tiger
#

I guess don’t need to

strong forum
#

Don't need healing if you parry

lusty tiger
#

Haha yeah so stupid

sick sentinel
#

better yet

lament shell
#

Parry is pretty unbalanced

sick sentinel
#

they get weapon swing timer reset, so you don't take damage for longer again

#

and you then just parry it

lusty tiger
#

Avoidance(dodge,parry,miss) has always been unbalanced

sick sentinel
#

probablm e solved

lament shell
#

Dks hav 2 sec to think about pressing deathstrike after hit with how much parry they have

#

Is lit 🔥

In tbc I can gear my war to be hit immune to non sunwell bosses

ows bis for prot as well? i imagine it is cause with the way ure pulling with banner you should have 100% uptime

yeah ows bis

Ows is 80% overbudgeted

It's insanely overpowered

urban portal

not anymore on dps xeos

that nerf was actually pretty healthy

now trinkets can actually compete with it in m+ setttings

where you drop stacks

whereas its still bis in raid

But they don't

yeah ows on dps kinda cringe in m+ if tanks doesnt chain pull

Alright, I read the pinned comments and the #268491842637660160 but didn't see my question answered, nor in the last few chat comments.

Dinar purchases, what is the best to go for? WoWhead says OWS, which I'm fine with, but I currently have the 246 OWS and Enforcer's Stun Grenade. Since I already have a regular Heroic OWS, I am thinking to go down the line, but the next two are swords and shields, when I am already rocking 12/12 Scepter of Brutality and 12/12 Arrowbreaker Greatshield from M+, so I would go to Shard of Annhylde's Aegis. I mainly do M+, but do tank my guild's heroic runs and any forrays into Mythic raids.

sick sentinel
oblique garnet
#

246 cant be upgraded

strong forum
#

The simplest question is this, how likely are you to get an upgradable ows

sick sentinel
#

469 on st

#

2.7% on 5 target and 4.2% on st

oblique garnet
#

I mean i had 259 ows and i just bought a new one with dinars

sick sentinel

idk i feel like i still take it over opc just cause of the mainstat gain

amber moth

Sorry, late. Wrong person

That's still fairly unreliable

amber moth
#

Even over M+ trinkets fully upgraded?

oblique garnet
#

Yeah

strong forum
#

Yes

amber moth
#

Alright, then I'll grab an OWS

strong forum
#

Ows is stupidly strong

amber moth
#

I know trinkets are where its at for raids, most of the time, but wasn't sure if the upgrade would be worth it.

strong forum
#

And you don't wanna miss out on the... 60? Str and a couple extra % of haste because you want a more easily farm able trinket first

#

That being said

#

Once the next SoD week comes along, you can buy your next 2 dinar items

is Sepulcher's Savior 304 better than a 298 shield with stats?

The one thing i hope they nerf is the # of boss kills for the upgrade token.

eventually i will have too many upgradeable items but not enough ways to upgrade them.

even 10 kills is a lot. For most of us that's 2-3 weeks of mythic just to upgrade 1 item.

#

Gues my surv friend never had pi in keys

south zealot
#

at the start of this week on sub creation we were in guardian tier

lament shell
#

Its good

#

Warrior rn is like surv hunter s2

south zealot
#

im lowkey down to ser a guardian meta

lament shell
#

It was super good but none played it

south zealot
#

surv wasnt good in s2

#

it wasnt bad

#

it was just meh

rotund sluice
#

i'd guess whoever created it meant for it to be more poking fun at boomkin more than anything else. it would be interesting if they did some kind of power budget for MDI just to see the different combinations

lament shell
#

It was giga good you havent played

south zealot
#

super good is an egregious overstatement

lament shell
#

It did the most aoe dmg from all specs

south zealot
#

thats literally objectively not true

lament shell
#

Struggled on st

#

But i played it

south zealot
#

frost had the highest sustained aoe and ww was the highest burst aoe

lament shell
#

Surv was basicly the same surv right now but you not getting procs from 2 set

#

The same but no procs was good just none played. You had drjay snd avade pllaying it on the side

south zealot
#

no resets

#

no big damage procs

#

damage overall worse

lament shell
#

Instead of gcding kill comand you pressed carve

#

Not a reset but a cdr

urban portal
#

if you think about it

#

if you just combined 9.1 survival+9.1 feral

#

it would be op

lament shell
#

How is raid decanter?

south zealot
#

it did solid aoe of course

#

but the highest aoe is just factually not true

lament shell
#

How do you know that tho

south zealot
#

how do i know 9.1 surv wasnt doing upwards of 70-100k sustained aoe

#

or 100k burst aoe

lament shell
#

Tf who cares about burst aoe

#

You can have a ret pala pressing divine toll

south zealot
#

thats why i mentioned both

#

doesnt beat ww burst

#

doesnt beat frost sustained

lament shell
#

Wait let me find a video on youtube

south zealot
#

9:38

#

3 minutes sustained aoe of 70k

lament shell
#

Sec

#

Ye dude ofc wasnt frost meta or something

urban portal
#

i mean yeah frost was #1

#

but survival definitely wasnt dogshit in aoe

#

it was ok

#

ok to good

lament shell
#

Surv was among the best specs in s2

plush prism
#

any last minute Upper Kara tips anyone would like to share? I've +++11 before but doing a much higher key now

rotund sluice
#

make sure everyone has invis to skip trash before chessboard

plush prism
#

hell yes thank you I would've forgotten to do that

#

I have the pots in my bag and I woulda pulled lmao

urban portal
#

yeah survival was definitely competing with other hunter specs

#

but idk if it was competing with real specs

#

sub/ww/frost etc

hardy snow
#

I have question about last boss in upper Karazhan, are our CDs sufficient to take one cast on spell reflect, then interrupt, then spell reflect next and so on?

#

or do we need sometimes help with interrupt from others?

chrome falcon
#

you need 3rd and 4th kicked

#

i think

lament shell
lament shell
urban portal
#

yeah

halcyon plover
#

When I did it I went reflect>kick>dps kick>reflect

urban portal
#

probably

#

idk much about hunters

#

but i believe that

lament shell
#

I linked it

hardy snow
urban portal
#

you could link hunter overall

chrome falcon
#

depends how long your phases are too

urban portal
#

and see how many ppl did survival

halcyon plover
#

Generally it worked like that but depends what boss casts/phase timing i barely got a 2nd reflect before he phased on 21 tyran

urban portal
#

#1 was bm, #2 was bm, #3 was marks, #4 was marks

#

all hunters

#

looking at tormented hero too

#

probably the best choice anyways

#

you linked survival only

lament shell
#

Ye drjay figuired it out very late that surv pumps

urban portal
#

yeah im not saying survival was bad

south zealot
urban portal
#

im saying it wasnt THAT much better

#

^

#

basically that

#

hard to say

south zealot
#

surv was the most underrated spec imo

urban portal
#

maybe if the tier lasted another 2 months

#

it wouldve seen more play

#

cuz people only started trying survival cuz they wanted to practice for S3

#

and realized its actually not bad

lament shell
#

No what?

#

They didnt play surv in s2 to practice for s3

urban portal
#

the moment the survival tier set was announced, the week after limit brought 4 hunters into their reclear

#

all survival

#

obviously reclear doesnt matter

#

but thats when people saw "hey this shit may be good lemme start practicing"

lament shell
#

Raid has little to do with m+

urban portal
#

my point is, people wanted to start practicing

#

gingi is both a raid and M+ god

#

echo also brought a bunch of survivals too

lament shell
#

S2 and s3 rotation is 0 similar

urban portal
#

they didnt know that

lament shell
#

Wasnt s2 like 8 months long?

urban portal
#

felt like years

#

same with CN

lament shell
#

I think people just tried shit out

urban portal
#

but trying survival out on the same week survival tier was announced

#

is not coincidence

chrome falcon
#

nah people def started bringing survs to gear them

#

that's not a debate

lament shell
#

Ye but they didnt push title with it the day it got announced

#

Ofc;)

#

The raider io you linked got people that played surv from the start of s2

urban portal
#

i see like 1 people in top 5

#

that played survival

#

im not clicking through every one of them

#

most of them did their best keys on non survival

lament shell
urban portal
#

if you link survival only of course you are gonna get survival people, but my point is, survival is disproportionally under-represented among top hunters in general

#

and most survival players were not at the top

#

sure it was underrated but it wasnt insane

lament shell
#

Yes

#

It was good but had playerrate of feral druids

urban portal
#

if you were to average the IO of the top 10 of every spec, survival was lower than both others

lament shell
#

Still little people know it that surv wasnt shit in s2

#

And i brought it up because of the class picture someone sent above

#

Warrior being in C tier tanks

urban portal
#

being underrated is definitely a thing

south zealot
#

i think prot is rated well and underrated same time

urban portal
#

survival in s2 couldve been prot war in s3

#

but im not enough of a historian to know

south zealot
#

bunch of people know its good but also some people only want dk no matter whst

#

what

urban portal
#

but it was definitely shadowed by frostmage

#

ww sub etc

south zealot
#

kind of surprising there hasnt been any dk nerfs

urban portal
#

even warriors/havoc had their time in the spotlight in 9.1

south zealot
#

but ig they have been historically shit

lament shell
#

meta is built around the best players

#

All the best players play bdk

urban portal
#

yeah blood has been bad for what, most of bfa and SL?

#

let them have this tier

#

they were good in legion tho

lament shell
#

I play bdk myself

#

Im not hater kekw

south zealot
#

yeah over past 2 xpacs they have been the worst tank overall

#

i think the issue is how much better they are to other tanks

#

but it is what it is

hazy edge
#

Blood was very strong in 9.1 as well, but most tanks were that patch

lament shell
#

Blood could always stand and tank a pack

#

In previous seasons you just didnt do any dmg

south zealot
#

9.1 i think blood was worst tank

urban portal
south zealot
#

maybe prot war was

urban portal
#

id assume very little?

south zealot
#

but all tanks felt good in 9.1

urban portal
#

so rn they just play kyrian cuz mikanikos?

hazy edge
#

Venth is the only one that’s kinda ehh

south zealot
#

what even is the venthyr dk ability

#

ive never seen a venthyr dk

urban portal
#

1 minute cd runic power

lament shell
#

Kyrian gives you more dancing rune w. Uptime

urban portal
#

good on frost

hazy edge
south zealot
#

frost best is fairy right

hazy edge
#

Yeah

#

NL is still good though

urban portal
#

in 9.1 i had friends who swore by venth

#

for frost

south zealot
#

only frost ive ever played with is froststrike

#

hes a fairy gamer

#

ever played with as in high keys recently

chrome falcon
#

man 21 medivh just straight up kills me from 100 with 3 IPs with piercing missiles lmao

#

GUESS I'M GOING TO BRH

cobalt seal
chrome falcon
#

i mean

#

i should be able to live a piercing missiles

#

i guess i have to save DS

#

and not just spam for damage

#

but yeah every other kick was up and they just watched me die

#

oh well

distant crystal
#

why is this game like this

chrome falcon
#

oh my healer was a resto druid and literally the only hot on me was rejuv

#

that makes more sense

#

very annoying that in legion that boss couldn't bring us below 80% hp

#

and now it feels almost impossible if you're off discord

south zealot
#

i was cycling defensives for other ones

#

had 3 kicks up

#

boss had 5% left

#

that cast hurts so much

#

even through aegis it still chucks super hard

lofty widget
#

i wonder what the reasoning for not kicking it is

chrome falcon
#

they probably mostly do keys with BDK who can just death strike it back up?

lofty widget
#

cause even on coms when im calling kicks they just let missiles go through

south zealot
#

bc brew and dk are basically immune to it

#

most common tanks

chrome falcon
#

in legion any tank could just eat it

#

and in SL paladin brew and dk can just eat it

#

maybe not brew idk about that

#

but dk can just eat it

south zealot
#

oh yeah pally can block spells right

chrome falcon
#

and paladin can kick it themselves

south zealot
#

oh yeah pally ints everything duh

#

i think brew should be fine as long as you have your brews up

chrome falcon
#

upper is just a stupid instance anyway

lofty widget
#

honestly ill take a bit of pain on medivh if it means we can SR the rest of the dungeon

chrome falcon
#

the pacing is terrible for BLs

south zealot
#

i like upper honestly

chrome falcon
#

you pull 2 consecutive very hard bosses

south zealot
#

its the closest thing to a boss rush we’ll get

lofty widget
#

same, but only cause of SR

chrome falcon
#

then kill 2 dreadlords

lofty widget
#

the bosses suck

chrome falcon
#

then another very hard boss

#

it's just insane

mild palm
#

How's the COS aa damage ring, ever worth using over mecha haste?

lofty widget
#

no

south zealot
#

some dps told me i should be farming that ring

#

lmao

#

i hate lower much more than upper

#

so much more

#

lower is my least favorite dungeon ever

hazy edge
#

Kara just sucks

#

Dislike both greatly

south zealot
#

if upper was a boss rush and the bosses on lower were pretty free and it was a trash dungeon it would be a cool dynamic

chrome falcon
#

lower is obviously worse

south zealot
#

but lower just fucks you no matter what you do

#

we just need max or growl to call prot good so people stop only wanting brew or dk

lofty widget
#

btw, in GD theres a spot you can chill at the start where the overseers wont charge/knock out. thought id share okayge

coral marsh
#

how does legion timewalk m+ interact with the vault, does it count +1 run and does it increase the lootpool?

hazy edge
#

Counts as a run, doesn’t add to loot

coral marsh
#

can the dungeon drops be upgraded to 298 with valor?

hardy snow
#

yes

lofty widget
#

aegis of aggramar innit

#

you can get it right now

#

with legion tw

chrome falcon
#

my god

#

my upper kara has gone from 23 to 19

#

on medivh

#

literally 1 second on flame wreathe left and the dh just

#

walks out of it

#

not even a fel rush

#

dude just holds W

thorny stone
south zealot
#

i never do my lower or upper keys

#

i reroll them

#

upper is also a key i go in discord

sick sentinel
#

havent had a single upper key or workshop yet

south zealot
#

if no discord i have 0 expectations

chrome falcon
lofty widget
#

ye

#

they showed me the way

coral marsh
#

are the "bis" 285 dinar trinkets better than all 298/304 trinkets?

steel ruin
#

Logic loop of maintenance Pog or nah

waxen frigate
#

Almost certainly, the tank trinkets from dungeons are depressing

toxic pewter
#

people keep kicking upper kara last boss and im missing out on sweet damage wtf

#

Do you guys tell pugs not to always kick that fire blast?

dawn canyon
#

So before the door opens

#

"kick when i reflect and i jump off"

south zealot
#

i tell them before the boss

#

and before dungeon

#

and i show the macro before dungeon

#

sometimes people still kick but its less than if i didnt do anything

coral marsh
#

these days just one griefer reporting you can you get you banned for such a macro

south zealot
#

how?

dawn canyon
#

Report u for it

#

Chat Spam

#

It's cringe

south zealot
#

its every 20 seconds

#

thats so aids

#

or can i report the peopleusing elitism helper

chrome falcon
toxic pewter
chrome falcon
#

anyone using that addon getso ne warning from me

#

if i see it again i leave

steel ruin
#

this any good?

chrome falcon
#

no

south zealot
#

no

steel ruin
#

aight

mighty valley
#

how often do you find yourself below 50%

toxic pewter
#

I have it and i dont use it

steel ruin
toxic pewter
#

im already been warned i think if i get reported more i get suspended

steel ruin
#

but nah not often to be fair

dawn canyon
#

That has less to do with healers

#

And more with play

steel ruin
#

Yeah i was mainly jokign

#

joking*

toxic pewter
#

Am I wrong in thinking pugs at like lvl 20 keys should almost actively know about prot warrior spell reflect? Am I just being unreasonable? Yeah I guess without me saying anything people have no clue

#

after reading what I wrote it is probably asking too much

sick sentinel
#

cause i thought cn was unbearably long

floral solar
sick sentinel
#

PI ME PI ME PI ME PI ME

#

fucking locks man

#

like shut the fuck up u dont even need pi to be a top spec

floral solar
#

And any Priest throwing out PIs in pugs probably has a WA that tells them when major cds are being used.

grand locust
dusky mica
#

bis would be the 304 version with socket and leech, but normal one is good too

frigid zodiac
#

The stickies mention that Codex of the First Technique isn't good at all for prot, and yet a heap of the top IO warriors are using it. Is the sticky outdated or do people just use it regardless?

urban portal
#

People don’t know the math

#

They are outdated

#

Not the pin

sick sentinel
# south zealot

Sadly, for, pugs, you will have to make a deal about it before the key starts, and that macro, to get maximum use of reflect

frigid zodiac
sick sentinel
#

people still kick the spells or they dont though, god only knows if that spell is going through in pug

urban portal
#

I can explain you why codex is bad or you can take my word for it

frigid zodiac
#

Scars it is! weird

#

I will take your word, I thought it would be weird for the stickies to be wrong/not updated if it was changed recently

south zealot
#

basically codex is bad because 1. no mainstat so u lose defensiveness from no armor and you lose damage because no strenght

urban portal
#

And the effect is mediocre

south zealot
#
  1. the effect of the trinket isnt enough tankiness OR damage to make it useful in any scenario
urban portal
#

Like if it had main stat

#

It could be quite good at pushing higher keys

south zealot
#

so youre actually squishier AND do less damage than if u use any other mainstat trinket

urban portal
#

Not on prot but in general

#

Yeah

#

Is better

sick sentinel
#

the effect isnt particularly useful on prot cause u mitigate everything, sure maybe in some really really high keys it would do something but no mainstat = bad

urban portal
#

last tier it took +31 for codex to beat a shitty decanter

thorny stone
cedar rock
#

whats better for Enforcers stun grenade or codex?

warm plinth
warm plinth
mighty valley
#

it would take real skill to spend a lot of time below 50%

#

if you're dropping low often you're probably just dying soon

warm plinth
#

That's actually a fair point. Like you have to not press your buttons until you're about to die and then you press them perfectly without getting healed

#

😂

cedar rock
coral marsh
#

its normal to drop low if you are lowgeared and healer is carrying you

chrome falcon
#

man

#

pwarr fuckin owns in tyrannical workshop

#

just absolutely execute some idiots

tender berry
#

hej
Sepulcher's Savior do we use it on cd or keep it defensive or offensive

chrome falcon
#

defensive

#

and never change

tender berry
#

thx 🙂

sick sentinel
#

can confirm TONS of re-roll Pwars incoming

#

loads of them

#

in my past 2 groups and has been common lately

south zealot
#

only 2 groups have timed a 22 lower this week

#

on na

#

how overtuned is this boss bro

patent osprey
#

first boss is kinda nutty

vestal moat
#

I cant even kill opera first boss on a 17, been timing 22s and 23s easily

south zealot
#

kinda..

vestal moat
#

on other dungeons

south zealot
#

29 grimrail is being done by growls group rn

#

and they havent done even a 22 lower

#

could be for lack of trying of course

#

or lack of a key

vestal moat
#

you only have to pull it once to realize they just have way too much hp

#

im fine with the dealer go up mechanic, dodge swirlies, kick adds, gather adds, etc

#

but its the fact the ads blast for a bunch of damage and have SO MUCH HP

#

and you cant burn the bosses eithe because they also have infinite hp

south zealot
#

LMAO

#

growls group got a 30 lower

sick sentinel
#

HAVE FUN BUDDY

#

i don't feel like thinking about that shit lol

#

first boss, bolts over kill by 300%

alpine shard
#

just reflect them 🙂

sage hearth
#

Sorry if been answered already, but are there any specific loot items I should be targeting with the Timewalking M+ keys?

south zealot
#

the legion ones:?

#

no

Yea

hmm okay, i have codex and stone legion rn and i wasnt sure if it was worth it

#

but ty

queen hemlock
hazy edge
south zealot
#

i do this

#

obviously not in a pull like that bc thats just not possible

#

but those trash packs are easy

#

especially with reflect

chrome falcon
#

what you reflecting?

#

the lava barrage?

#

is that the shit on the ground or

#

isn't it rng who it targets

cobalt seal
#

it's supposed to be random

chrome falcon
#

i haven't had it do any damage for me yet

#

but yeah packs at the end are free

#

as long as dps personal when they're charged by cow

cobalt seal
#

o_O

queen hemlock
#

Actually matta where do you shroud if you have it

chrome falcon
#

yeah wait dotbby what

#

i assume that's just a mistake

#

that they're not on there

#

uh i shroud the 2 packs before last miniboss

#

if i have

pallid quiver
#

he just takes a swim, ez

chrome falcon
#

but my ID route is kinda gonzo

#

because pugs only so

queen hemlock
#

Oh oke

#

Can i also ask how do you peeps tank for wikket currently
I did a 15 key tried to gather the mobs and tried to kick both bosses so they are in cleave range but its pretty garbage

chrome falcon
#

no idea

#

wikket is fucking stupid

#

try to pull something to a moneky

#

and cleave

#

but it's giga overtuned

sick sentinel
#

the bolts on the 14 i did hit me for some 35k ish k

#

as mage

queen hemlock
#

Worse is some pubs dont kick the flashy bolt

#

Or cant since she is in the tornado

sick sentinel
#

whats the difference between the different bolts they do

chrome falcon
#

dreary = tank flashy = random

sick sentinel
#

i thnk they just do the same bolt over and over until special for dealer mechanic

#

oh, so flash can deleted the healer

queen hemlock
#

And flashy is fucking pain

#

More than dreary

sick sentinel
#

immune the yellow circle on mail room is a good idea right?

queen hemlock
#

Personally i think do diff
But i only did a 17 key before

#

No*

sick sentinel
#

immune is really friggin nice, like paladin or mage ones

queen hemlock
#

Since most players tend to charge toward you until you use a mobility skill to run away or they realise you gonna immune

#

Even when called out

hollow kayak
#

Kara Lower. First boss. Can I fully ignore Magic Magnificent with spell reflect?

queen hemlock
#

Pittz this is in one of the pinned comments in arms i think

#

Anyways em

hollow kayak
#

Yeah, read it. It's not clear, on what I want to know.

queen hemlock
#

It says cannot reflect no deflect and i doubt it

#

But i survived with shield wall

#

On a 15 key

median tulip
hollow kayak
#

Too bad. On the DOS boss Dealer Xy'exa with a similar mechanic, I could SR that one and just ignore.

south zealot
#

u just walk in with reflect and the bird just dies after like 20 seconds

south zealot
# cobalt seal

this is supposed to be in the stars i just deselected on accident

queen hemlock

Oh speaking of spell reflect

south zealot
#

but for some reason the absolute MONGOLOIDS that i get

queen hemlock
#

Grim docks final boss the dragon thunder breath

south zealot
#

dont think u can throw the star through the debris on the ground

south zealot
queen hemlock
#

Sometimes i can reflect it sometimes i cant

median tulip

It's way easier in a pre-made, granted

south zealot
#

i did my 24 for the week

on fort i need to do that tho

queen hemlock

Like i walk in the first few times it reflects
