43 years old manager at walmrt with a wife and 4 kids
gets tolay 6 hours per weekend
Jealous tbh
theme i see there is he seems to want to improve gis aoe dmg possibly to hold threat, and then reduce dmg with like bolster
hard t9 say, hes living life though
How do you get 8% codex on a +2 or what it is
we only made it through the first boss of workshop and were heading to kujo
something happened, probably too many pulled, and we wiped, healer died again to aggro and left
Deal very little dmg yourself
You can see he only did 3.2k dps, that means codex also only did 280ish dps
not this discussion again xd
theres dragon roar and whirl wind a plenty, hes got morrre (than just codex)
I believe the concensus is codex does best when the player is being their worst
freaking torn between DF tanks. they all look so freaking fun
warrior/pal/brew look great
Why would be torn currently
Half of the talents are bugged, many of the trees will get reworked multiple times, no way to test them in real content
My choice is simple, Ive only looked at pwar tree and will only look at pwar, 0 interest in other tanks/specs/classes
suprising
yeah we dont have that problem as pwar mains
but a lot of people bounce between them, its fine honestly
How do I keep high uptime on banner as Necro?
A video guide on how to keep up and maintain Conqueror's Banner
By @chrome falcon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG8aMkCE5j0&
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!
for reference its also on the pins
Try for 100 cpm so you can fall around 70-80
cause brew and pally look great? quite simple tbf. no alpha access so its all just looking for me
I think I would play a different role before switching off prot at this point
GM in my alliance meeting on sunday "okay so we all know theres really only about 2 months left of shadowlands cuz they are putting everything into DF release"
yeah prot looks nasssssty
after which, apparently, i wasn't a part of it, they did transmog, and naked gnome run to booty bay
Wtf is there to put into DF release
Hoarding gold, sure that's like the 1 thing to do
breathe fire, fly, use tail and claws
generally just really fucking hard to kill cuz also sometimes smart
magic
this shit legitimately writes itself
Yeah my favorite part of dragon literature is when they use tail and claws
My favorite is when my gm gives one class levels and combat reflexes, oh the dragon has 20ft reach and you charged in to melee him? That's 3 attacks of opportunity
Proceeds to take my character sheet outside and burn it. 
Sorry I don't speak nerd 
No you do, just not boomernerd
I wish I had a Gm to attack of opportunity me ๐ฆ
Stonws
thanks ๐
i'm not saying deathwing, but deathwing
any good weak aura for announcing spell reflects ?
ooh surprise!!! hes back!! you gotta kill him again!!
Echo of neltharion
I saw one on wago.io but said wasn't being updated anymore
Might have to dig thru recently updated
i see,its just annoying people kicking on your reflects ๐
Just make a macro in caps
my macro is just
#showtooltip Spell Reflection
/cast Spell Reflection
/s Spell Reflection Used
or something like that
maybe spell reflect active or something else
/y if you are pugging
sure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u5bS2rsuQk, 2011, yes, i see it, still being updated and works though
In this WoW addon spotlight I take a look at Raeli's Spell Announcer.
Download this addon@
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/rsa.aspx
so, you can have it set to go off when you activate the spell, or only end the spell ends
"won't stop me from kicking cause I can't read"
they never kick, but when they do, its during spell reflect 
Ye unless all in voice kinda got accept it get wasted ๐
Can you please teach me?
i appreciate your patience while i learn
Lol
Prot pretty enjoyable I tanked blood is s2/s3 changing it up
Ran +2 thought was valor farm it was not I was #1 DPS heh
Any advice for surviving the piercing missiles from Medivh? They clap me, especially on back to back casts
use defensives
reflect last tick of the 1st missile
If its high key you want to defensive first and kick the second
me too slo
Cant be bdk and just lul DS
just pre spellreflect smh
Missile eats Sr, gotta get the last one
if u pre reflect it cancels his cast
so he does something else
but u could also end up wasting jt
i recommend running aegis if you have it in upper
you can use on a medihv cast and be fine with just ignore pains
i just wear splintered heart on medivh at this point
i mean that's for like 24s so shouldn't be necessary below that

i don't trust my kicks man
sometimes i have to eat a missiles just in case there's something else i need to kick coming up
because i don't trust them to do it
Fairly certain I'll just be cheat death or the wall or both when pushing higher uppers, mainly cuz of wyrm and medivh
Yea
have to save leap for grabbing balls
and there's no other way to charge
and you don't need the block uptime on medivh or last boss
wonder if you could just port out after medivh and swap leggos
cause youre falling for a good minute anyway
but idk where the graveyard is
Just use the kara port then zone back in
thats why they are taken for high keys
does zoning back in put you in the right spot?
thats what im not sure of
i think they USUALLy put you where your release spawn is
cause if it puts you at the bottom it probably even a time save
If someone dies on medivh and waits to release til someone lands on book it puts you down there so maybe same?
Not sure tho would hafta test rezoning
thats op then
bccc
whats the name of the two if/then rings we want from Mecha?
thanks
as long as it's your highest ilvl it looks good
your actual stat %s arent all that important
awesome, Im only 257 Ilvl, got a couple of good items
The trinket from gambit is BiS right?
wait... is that actually the play
surely not
..... hm.
idk UW goes on chest and finger
which is pretty bad
dps has their own defensives
i'm perfectly capable of not being bad
it's these other 4 chucklefucks i worry about
my problem if they fuck up though ๐คทโโ๏ธ
yeah i dunno it's probably not the play
but i like the idea of an extra SW for medivh and wyrm
we're also losing a lot of rage gen speccing UW
sooo 100 % banner in danger potentially?
nah Leaper is the play
but i doubt it's good
especially since you lose so many stats
by saccing mechagon ring
or downgrading chest 20 ilvl

yeah for sure

Why not the echo revenge one with UF like a real chad
6 ilvl upgrade on helmet, aegis, or 2 sockets
been grinding gear on all 3 of my toons past 3 weeks, so haven't gone past tanking 20s and it doesn't feel to necessary for aegis
insta grab if it was RDM :/
if you feel like youre gonna need aegis at some point might as well grab it, if not 2 sockets probably beats 6 ilvls but dont quote me on that
have a heroic earthbreakers and lfr OWS. still have a dinar and 1 heroic upgrade item
side note, should I buy normal RDM? think it's worth using until after SoD full clear to upgrade or do I just wait
???
seriously
looking at stats at 257?
well rdm+ows bis, so i'd go for it
for sure, just wasn't sure if it'd be worth w/o being able to upgrade
idk missiles hurts, but only if you let it go after the first one
ever see a time where'd I'd use aegis over rdm?
I just let the missiles full cast if I don't have the debuff
You doing 23s or higher?
i dont think aegis is worth in anything lower than 25-26
not atm, but goal is 24-25 keys this season. I stopped at 23s on my bdk last season and was still just running double haste trinkets
but also bdk busted
Finally got the missles timing
sockets it is yeah?
you can easily do 28's without aegis
i'd say so
My bdk got 4 piece today (cause Iโve not really been working on it much ) so excited to see the change in game play
last boss we are so good at we dont have to worry about even trying
Sephulcer's Savior is a trap grab, right?
nah its good if its your highest ilvl
I hope you like Heartstrike spam
Just feels like losing the secondary stats is not worth the on-use
you dont ever use the effect
Donโt do that anyways ??
but the block increase from the passive equip is worth about 7 ilvls
nah not needed
even moreso with tier
you need to absolutely spam the shit out of it
what else do you run
Reprisal
Doesnt matter its more damage
sure a 20 is free asf
does us have all 3 raids fated this reset already?
but i wouldnt say its trolling
Not this week no
its not worth it
idk wall could be nice for mana wyrm
thats wall vs rep on ST
Reprisal isn't optimised in sim
^
Cuz you can't emulate it properly
Which is true, wall might be better on that boss specifically
And on curator, cuz that boss' hitbox is fuck
Let's go!
Finally no more workshop runs.
You can, but it's omega annoying
also same on curator
yea i just charge adds when they spawn
charge on explos
I've not done upper kara without 5 tank so I can't really comment on how hard reprisal is to play
But only on mana devourer it should prove difficult
did it once on a 20
@strong forum 
Mine does nature dmg 
Eyoooo!! Grats on matrix
Jealous
yo that's a sick trinket
ignores the codex 
304 ilvl? nice!
simming currently but i think I am taking the legs. have codex at 298 that im not using and shield is 298 Arrowbreaker from GD
Yeah?
i had that and the heal one couldn't get the haste to drop. it dropped once for my shaman buddy and he couldn't trade it because of ilvl lol.
Shield is the single most important item to have high ilvl on
The block value is hugely important
stop using codex ๐
He isn't using it, just saying that he has it
im not using codex
vendor it ๐
As long as you have a melee near itโs not horrible to intervene and jump away to charge again when needed itโs annoying for sure but not difficult
Intervene is obv easy
pick codex to vendor it true sigma male

such a big peepee chad move
change a bunch of weak auras last night
turn of pc without exiting game anyways
Very 5 head of you
clever
first
after picking shield
you remove that codex
from your bags
disenchant sell
and then you now can open everything as dps
judging from the comments is there anyway i can throw my in-bag codex on the ground as a dead body and set it on fire?
good point
If you have a 304 codex in your vault and you don't have a codex. What should you do?
yes
Take sockets
i would say vendor
this
but you can vendor sockets for more money
pick an item that actually scales with itemlevel and isnt trolling? ๐
and actually isn't a dps loss
Warriors are rly good broo
socketssss master
It does scale? Have you not looked at it currently?
Massive executes ohh
only the stamina
the rest technically too but its meaningless since you never take that big of a hit
i sense popcorn will be needed for this one
message me when you get meaningful diff out of a 272 codex vs 304
Why are 22 of the top 50 in the world using it then
Bro we have RDM why u look at codex ???
I CAN'T DO IT

oh no

lol
i'm begging you to just accept the trinket is bad and move on with your day
i could see it coming a mile away lmao
please
The advice of the people in this discord is to not use it, if you choose to follow what others do then go crazy
I can't. It's actually good. Use with OWS.
I hope youre aware thats skewed by:
- people not having access to rdm/aegis yet
- people not having a clue
- the ladder being skewed in general due to people simply not playing
- lots of top players feelycrafting
Oh god
What keys are you mooks pushing as prot?
lmaooooo
It's better in higher keys
Ok
22 of the top 50 is also less than 50%

Nah I gotta come in here swinging
did you not see Sense in TGP?
I wanted to talk , but its time read now
What are we talking about?
This is the other guy with a new name?
hell yeah
Yeah it's codex again
you got a codex copypasta?
That's fine man you do what you want
it always goes the same way, even 4 expansions ago
yeah im eating lunch
to be fair you have to have a very high iq to understand codex
"thing is good", "why are the top 10 / streamers using it?" "what are your IOs"?
literally
the same
every time
for the most ridiculous assumptions
it never changes
me and the boys are pushing this weekend
lmaoooo
Me too!
Lmao if you don't take a codex and you don't have one already or OWS. You're throwing.
What
what
Incorrect
What logic is that.
ima throw hella hard then
Have a nice day though!
๐
Actualy i want some guy to push 3k rio with a int trinket and im sure ppl wont question it and use it
๐ฃ
my dps
changling

Alright who's ready for the part where they link a log of it doing good dps/hps without realising that that doesn't account for the lack of mainstat
I'm ready for it
Woo ha

now i feel bad for memeing the other day when late muted me
Im out of popcorn โน๏ธ
here i go throwing again not taking this codex
We must have a codex meme
Rdm did 1200 DPS for me in 28 iron docks, shit is op
we definitely need an emote for it
I am sorry guys

But you are all wrong
rdm owns so hard
RDM is my baby i wont leave her for anything
im only a 15s babby
but throwing is fun
oh, are we doing fury prot now
like classic?
xD
i have OWS and Enforcers Stun Grenade equipped currently. ESG is pretty fun during burst. I dont have RDM yet
grenade aint bad tbh
not at all
ngl saw a 'if you're not playing this talent over that talent when you push you're throwing' in dreamgrove, to which the response is legit 'bro you are pushing with bear, that is the throw'
Watched someone stream playing devastate night fae the other day and understood even more why prot warriors need something like BSV in dragonflight
dang 25 with kyrian unbreakable eh
@cobalt seal do you still have the screenshots of the i need a healer to pump w/ kyrian seismic in workshop guy?
xD
his text?
Don't bully. ๐
Now they will just get to die 2 times.

Bullying would be saying his name, just was very eye opening lol
a warrior tank from last night @ionic fern
the champ
yeah the excuses he had for doing 50% less dmg than nom
Whee is the execute wtdffd
should be in BT
We play warr cus if execute
Was he undead??
I have execute on 10 keybinds so i dont miss
yes
8% codex on yogis key level wew
The grenade is one a huge cooldown when it lines up with avatar + 4 piece. I don't think it beats out RDM but it does have its place on the trinket list.
its probably one of the better dungeon trinkets for us honestly
but beaten by raid trinks
Agreed. I did the math and it provided a lot of defense and offense at the same time.
yep, just got it macro'd. don't even have to think about it
Should I get Enforcers Stun Grenade or pants? Both at 304 ilvl and same ilvl upgrade
I used that combo before I bought RDM. RDM is still significantly more damage over a dungeon.
One guy ran it and didnโt even cast devastate once
I would definitely get the tier piece.
Grenade is decent for burst
But the defensive value is not there
Itโs like a 10% dr
Itโs an offensive trinket through and through
yep. i have aegis in my bag also so if i feel a key is going to be spicy i just swap them out
Aegis ainโt feeling super hot this since pull sizes smaller
But still insane for pulls that you need them in
Thanks guys! I'll go for the pants
any sage wisdom for my first dinar? I have 291 aegis and a 284 vers bomb
ows
OWS

aegis is more defensive
rdm is more damage
Gonna start playing with this just to fuck with people
Actually maybe i can find some even more troll trinkets from my bank
has to be something that looks good
how do you proc reprisal outside of heroic leap and dash to ally
shockwave walk out
some variation of walking out
casters
walk out
@oblique garnet play urchin
yep
Actually gonna play it on w/e is the next boost we do and log it
Think i deleted my opulence trinket with leech 
i got my first Dinar do i grab Aegis since i already have OWS?
RIP DLRP
Then go with aegis
kinda just farming gear
Rdm is good too
cause pointless to spend dinar then wait for upgrade to equip the item
my other trinket is a lfr gland
heh well that might do the trick then
what considers high keys
+420
If you need to ask that question then 20
This isnโt true, because certain things you can ignore at lower key levels 1 shot you at higher levels
^
I mean
as tank at 15s
Unless its legion dungeons you can pretty safely ignore w/e
basically everyone who farms +20 is doing so with 304 gear, so i guess high key is +30
?
people were farming 20s at 280
maybe 285
no-one is 304 avg ilvl
High keys are more about coordination and planning than anything
+30 is when 304 gear stops carrying you thats what i meant
and you cant really get higher
if you're pugging like 25-26 is about as high as you can go
so "high keys" is just different for everyone
My friend mentioned he though warrior apm would hold it back a bit from mdi/great push
I thought that was funny
Like your hands are sore like a dam starting pitcher lol
we still wanna use ring that 7 ilvls lower if it has more haste, generally speaking, right
likely
Wow
because i dont even know if i will do heroic lmao
That is borderline take socket
heroic is what ilvl? 298?
Does flamewreath have a z axis?
291 for most, 298 for last 2/3 bosses loot
nice codex you got there
kinda cringe to be prot loot in workshop and not fury
fury gets the 1h, there is no 2h in there, and you avoid modular plating win-win
and people say fury loot spec is sueless
It was my 1 weekly key.
For vault.
Do you really think i remember to swap lootspecs-
๐
smh my head
yeah damn fury does make more sense, never thought about it
Man I just want a shield is that really too much to ask
I just picked up a 288 codex, but it's been nerfed if i remember correctly. is it worth running or should I look for better
the answer you seek is in the pins
ah of course
๐คฎ
codex is awful
okay it is dogshit good to know
But the #1 Io uses it
wow it actually just does fucking nothing for prot
prot takes very little damage due to high mitigation
codex is only useful if youre getting fucking blasted non stop
Under proper game play
oh so it might be useful for me then
i mash my fucking keyboard as prot
Feel like fortified kicks my ass harder than tyran
i just got thrown around in a lower kara :/
Which mobs?
just got owned hard
What level?
20
yeah i wont lie it does feel that way
even after nerfs
those mobs were hurting me through shieldblock
They only nerf fking bosses from previous opera
Well I couldnโt see it except on the day they updated the ghost model
Even after that I could not tell at all impossible to see
last week was kinda funny watching dps get 1shot by 4+ bolster mobs doing just a casual shoot party member or something
fort is objectively harder for a tsnk to deal with
those horses suck as well
fortified is always aids for tank while tyrannical is for dps
Fort is generally harder for healers, too
You can dodge the charges from horses tho
Like most of m+ damage is avoidable
With couple of exceptions
On Fort weeks the DPS can survive a mistake. On Tyr weeks 1 mistake = 1 dead DPS
I feel tyr is easier than fort in pugs because players generally know boss mechanics better than lesser known trash mechanics that matter on fort week
Expect lower karazhan
That was a pug killer tyr week
it's mixed, part of the fear with tyrannical is that you make no partial progress if someone fucks up the boss and causes a wipe
in fact you might've gone backwards if you spent lust etc
on fort you're always making partial progress even with mistakes
True that big time waste, especially if lust is committed. And when I die as tank on fort often a dps can kite the pull back to me to avoid resetting.
Lower is my fav though because it was so fun learning the most mechanically packed dungeon Iโve played
๐
Tyrannical and Fortified must go. Lots of people have been asking that for ages.
what would replace it? just scaling for the entire dungeon?
Yes.
not opposed to it
In the same vein, other affixes should bring interesting gameplay changes and not just variable difficulty/speed changes
When are they gonna do positive affixes like we have been asking for. One positive and one negative one per dungeon.
it would be interesting for blizz to take a big gamble and just redesign all the affixes from the ground up
Timing a +xx should be an accomplishment on its own and not depend on which week you did it
anyone know junkyard boss order this week (NA)
without tyran and fort i feel like the weeks kind of blend together
I can name too many affixes that are just massive pains in the butt to play with, where slowing down massively is the only way to adapt
Necrotic, burstingโฆ
necrotic is barely anything these days
I disagree, strongly
I legit forget it's active for large chunks of keys
When I do that and pull 3 packs together, I get to 100% reduced healing in no time.
hmm
when you pull three packs together
an affix becomes more potent
who wouldve thought
necrotic might be not be as bad outside of taz since it seems like there's less mob density in general from kara and mecha - and a lot more adds that cast
not like more storming sanguine bolstering explosive bursting spiteful revolve around how many mobs u have near you
and the two wod dungeons
You can go inside the dungeon without starting it, open your map and you can see where not to go
i just really push back against the community consensus that good dungeon design is when you can pull 20+ enemies at all times and shouldn't have to plan or work to make that not a nightmare
like, you watch the top players and they can still do this stuff, really fast
it just takes great players with smart plans
Well, top players have time and consistency, something most of the player base lacks
I will certainly agree that โpull the biggest possible and AoEโ being the best tactic, isnโt great design either.
I just dislike that there are so many discrepancies between weeks
i thinks some dungeons like gambit do it well
a lot of tradh
some of it does nothing
some do some mjnor casts
Blizz forced us to like tyrannical that's all
and one mob had a big cast
lower has some packs where there are two mobs with like 3 important casts
discrepancies between weeks is how you keep things from getting stale
i cant remember a time my group died to shit on fort they wouldnt have on tyrannical
Lower adds have more spells than the whole SL dungeon trash
Not when it changes the key level you can accomplish
that's relevant to the top fraction of a percent of players, perfect balance is a pipe dream
if you cant do a 20 tyrannical key but you can do a 20 fort
or the other way around
Tbh, every week is a push week
there is a different problem then the tyran fort difference
Some are just harder than others, but doable nonetheless
objectively not true
I must be too low skill then.
push weeks are the absolute best weeks to push
every week is a push week tho
cause for 99.9 % of ppl their skill caps before affixes cap them
You just gotta play better on harder weeks
what level of keys are you pushing up to? blizzard has no incentive to make sure keys above 20 are super balanced in any way
^
true
I reached 22-23s in season 3.
22-24, I think one dps friend might be dragging us down lol
Mostly pugging so going above that was hard
so you're just playing for bragging rights at that point
I like the โI did itโ concept, I donโt care at all about bragging to others ๐
yeah, a challenge is fun, but you're defining your own challenge at that level
bragging rights isn't meant to be derogatory, you can be bragging to yourself, that's valid
i dont like how depletes work
yeah youre pushing key levels until your skill cant keep up, the level is kinda pointless imo
but i dont have a better solution
bring old depletes back 
your key just died or something
The challenge being on speed is also too specific
your key would be depleted and woud grant no loot
We are all just speedrunners 
and therefore no one would sign up or want to run it
i wish if you exit out of the key tou can try again with the same group at the same level
but i dont think that would be good in practice
just in theory
They could make a new challenge by sending wave after wave of harder and harder bosses and trash - no speed, just how far you can go
i guess my only point is that hoping that blizzard puts a lot of time into making the m+ experience more balanced at the 25+ level is foolishness when the system is largely meeting its goals. are there things to improve? sure, but it's clearly not one of the biggest pain points in the game
i do actually really like static challenges for small groups that aren't time based
like, i love day 1 megadungeons
but that's really hard to hit the right level for a wide range of skill and gear levels
With the scaling technology they can do plenty of designs
as a random aside, ive got the arrowbreaker shield, upgradeable and all. Should I gamble my vault on prot for a 304?
i mean, right now you could be like, let's get through a +30, don't care about timer. it would be a tough static challenge, it just wouldn't give you score points
304 with leech
i did a 20 something vault of the wardens tyrannical in the first legion timewalking when it was v overtuned, me and my friends just slogged through it as if it was a 5 person raid, was really fun
at this rate i wish theyd just tune the dungeons to be harder and just do a seasonal affix and get rid of the rest - like season 1 SL is a good foundation in terms of difficulty imo
(not prideful tho)
DH bugged?
their conduit was bugged i think
Was doing more dmg than intended, and also was tankier
hate this take
affixes are good
DH got like double the magic dr% they were supposed to be getting
well if u say it, it must be true
having the same dungeons for 2 years already does that, i think if theyre on a rotation - affixes adds nothing and they'll continue to get nerfed/changed every time something new or weird happens in an old dungeon
you guys think 63 speed is worth 13 haste
no
Ok
without affixes youre doing literally the same thing every week
even if some affix combinations feel bad, it's then good that some weeks feel like a relief
everything being flat removes the texture
there is no light without darkness or whatever the fuck
remove tyr and fort
there is no push week without a "dont log in" week
What if they're all push weeks
tyrannical would be fine IF it was like a hardmode boss
if its tyrannical week all bosses have an extra minor mechanic
tyran hardmode king mecha
holy fuck
tyran wouldnt increase damage or hp in this version tho
so its a harder but not unfair boss
some bosses on tyran are objectively unfair at high keys, while others in the same instance can be much easier
More health on bosses means more executes and thatโs all I care about
By removing tyrannical and fortified Blizz would have an easier time balancing dungeons
no just remove fort and tyr i beg
they suck
bosses bounce between being absolute jokes and complete walls
the bosses should just be balanced
It is true but it also changes the dungeon in a cool way like when you lust
But it is cancer having some weeks you know youโll have to end up soloing certain bosses that are sure to delete your pugs
oh na had vault today?
It's Tuesday
as prot i assume we want to use mechagon rings for m+ right?
is the 3 hit = haste combo the best ?
Or is the magic damage absorb actually worth running ?
yes 3 diff spells + haste
ok ty <3. I heard somewhere the absorb ring was being used and wanted to check
Only shield I've gotten wass285 from the legion timewalking box
i'm still rocking 272 from last season 
Still early in season. Some things equipped are 'waiting on better item'
ya true. ty ty โค๏ธ
maybe im not pushing high enough but there isn't an affix right now that changes what i do in a dungeon every week; that isn't a seasonal affix (which i said they should keep to mix it up)
so im still doing 'the same shit every week' in a sense
nah i mean your plan should change based on fort/tyr
not much but it should change a bit
Mostly the size of the trash pulls
Changes when you lust and what packs you can 2x or 3x pull
And if you chain pull or not
Like bolstering
sorry i was referring to how the different affixes spice things up or "change" it up, i know fort and tyr do for sure
They are different affixes but for example you may want a boomkin, ele, or lock to move casters out of sanguine
Or need to pull a pack into a different spot so yโall can spread for quaking
yea cant say ive ever gone that far to min max the pulls at the 15-20 key range
but i get it
i feel like ur referring to a specific situation cuz i can't think of a specific dungeon where u pull mobs to an area to deal with quaking easier?
#1 on interrupt
like if ur heavy melee the fuck u gonna do
Trash before last boss of GD
if ur ranged u should be standing further out to begin with
There are like 10000000 mobs that jump to the furthest enemy and 1/2 those interrupt
i'm not sure how that relates to quaking
sorry im just learning that quaking is an affix for tanks to deal with (not being sarcastic, never really thought of it)
It means you shouldnโt necessarily ALWAYS be standing far out as a ranged which was your argument to why tanks shouldnโt need to pull differently for quaking
I think youโre missing all the affixes are a tanks problem wether youโre the first or last line of defense that needs to deal w it
They really aren't. Explosive, for example, is Not My Problem
Really
So when you have a big pull and everyone is pumping and one is going to blow up next to you and wipe
You just leave it?
You're nuts if you're not clicking explosives tbh
80% of our kit is target agnostic
explosives blow for prot warrior holy
You help but are not responsible
i noticed how easy they are playing prot pally last night lol
You don't hunt them like you did in the vr days
I mean one heroic throw
But you clear them for literally free with aas without interrupting your rotation
The real warrior push weeks
Blood warrior was pog
so grievous is a tank problem too eh?
no?
i am being informed that all affixes are the tanks problem
just gettin my facts straight
Yea if your healer isnโt healing through your deep grevious you need to pop a defensive and fleshcraft
i mean thats personal and not in relation to whats happening to the group
you should generally be aware of what's going on with your group lmao
What?
if a healer dies or a dps dies due to grievous, what does that have to do with my popping a defensive or fleshcraft
Rallying
idk it's very hard to die to grevious alone and i can't say i've seen it happen
Rallying for others, use defensives for yourself
generally just a healer affix you don't think about
but thats kind of my point, the affixes dont really change how i pull a dungeon
some affixes do
if the difference is one pack or two pack, sure - route doesn't really change unless someone higher up in raider.io finds something better
but they've made a lot of the toxic affixes a lot more playable now, especially noticeable with old vs current bolstering
Yep
but its never 'oh its explosive week so lets change the route'
it's not just route, it's moment to moment gameplay too
This is literally what I was talking about btw
what
There is never a reason to not help your party members
The best keys are done by coordination
Itโs a dps down for me is my usual reason

If they understood that dying and stuff lowered their dps they wouldnโt do it
Yeah you can play selfishly without greifing your party
I'm tryna grief the party tbh

Think itโs more so to tank the mobs and stay alive
a tank's job is to be hot and cool
Canโt do this without maximum party dps
eh
the team's job is to win the video game and not lose
That's why I'm still here
I just hate the mememe mentality like being too lazy to do things that make the run much smoother
It's important to have the excuses lined up so you don't have to think when you transition to flaming your team
Imagine blaming a warlock for not healing your grievous off

think this will proc enough? ๐ค
not always
Yea apparently if youโre in their 270 degree canโt parry zone it will proc

is that true anymore? is not the case for DK
if you are "behind" the target when damage occurs it procs
So never technically
it's not free proc from bleeds always anymore
sounds like just gotta get really good at Reprisal gameplay
so i'd take the weapon on the left (if that is a weapon)
Intriguing........... I already have 304 sawtooth blade tho
bolstering, sanguine, necrotic, bursting
still pull the dungeon the same way
and as mentioned fort/tyr would change that more than those affixes would
or you're not doing keys that push yourself
true
yeah i am objectively a bad tank
youre either doing super low keys where you can afk for 10 minutes and still +++
did you pull all the plaguefall slimes on a bursting week without a mass dispel
or youre trolling for fun
the amount of times i died to that as fury is insane
had mage and monk or rogue
they just immune
and i had to take the shaft lmao
Thatโs just dps warrior lyf
i didnt tank in the previous 3 seasons, i only started tanking this season in SL
and yes i run between 15's to 19's because i dont try to min-max every single pull in the 20+
but i did pug a lot of dungeons last season, and if what u say is true - there are a LOT of objectively bad tanks
ok, so yeah, if the dungeon isn't set to a high difficulty, you can kinda do whatever
true
ive only tanked like 10 dungeons before this season
id rather stick to being an objectively bad tank tho
generally you pull similar
but if theres a dangerous mob like the crab in jy
on fortified
why pull that with 2 extra packs when you can do it with the guy next to it
Because Iโd rather stick to being an objectively bad tank
it's whatever, if you're some genuinely average tank in pug groups, it's easiest to just hold W and do packs in a natural order, one at a time
and then the affixes are just slight increased numbers challenges for individuals, or things to react to
this
i don't really know what we're arguing any more
how much healing does that kul tiran human racial do
affixes only matter at the high end, everyone else that doesn't play around them efficiently is an objectively bad tank
they clearly matter at the lower end, how many people get killed by their spiteful ghosts regularly in low pugs
but again, even if i was pushing i dont think my route would change outside of pulling 1 back vs 2 or 3
if we fail, then i fix it
but doubt that its because of an affix specifically
and more about ppl not focusing the correct stuff, or not coordinating cds or w/e
some affixes mess groups up thats for sure
Well it certainly is something to think about
doesnt matter the key level
just took a look at a wowanalyzer and it says i overcaped on IP ? does that matter ?
no
You want people to coordinate CDs > pulling appropriately?
explosive for example can wipe group at any level if not dealtwith
you're going to overcap IP a ton if you're doing it right
if you're overcapping on IP, you're probably playing right
Ignore that unless you're missing effective SB uptime
normaly just check my block % and nothing else but wanted to see what analyze had to say
How do use this wowanalyzer? Kind of hit a wall on some dungeons for mythic levels. And I am SURE Iโm messing up a lot of things. What am I looking for specifically to get better or see the biggest improvement?
Log runs, post here
Anyone know if there is a haste cap? or haste DR point for prot that when hit we should switch to verse?
no sir
No
sweet. Was scared I had too much haste LOL
vers is only for dmg, but then crit is there so
Kinda was looking at what to analyze myself. I feel like a needy person having people analyze my logs for me ๐
If I only wanted to tank 15's/16's is "The Wall" Viable? or is it too much of a DPS loss to not be getting the procced revenges? - I just feel so weird trying to learn reprisal. Everyone seems to love it but It just doesn't feel right
it's not about the dps loss
it's about the shield block uptime
you can tank 15s without a legendary on the worst covenant
@sweet summit fuck i forgot to run urchin in the 24 JY
i mean if no-one tells you how to do it there's basically no way of figuring it out yourself
the revenge proc is the weakest part of reprisal
dont worry
I forgot to do dmg
