How would you guys assign kicks for shade in a pug with no coms with a more ranged comp like prot warrior , holy priest , warlock , survival , mage?
first of all you tell your wl to use curse of tongue 99 % of the wl dont know that ability
if you are comfortable on living every piercing missile u and the hunter have kick prio due to shortest cd
Ideally you don’t run that comp but basically id just say “mage first frost hunter second me third, warlock save for panic, only kick inferno bolt during flame wreathe”
and well its kinda rough to do without voice but mage has a really good kick but due to shifting power its a weird cd
Ok so basically we just solo the missiles somehow
we have a lot of tools to deal with it
Sr every other for instance
Idk man, things ive seen pugs do on that boss terrify me
biggest thing is the DPS being able to dodge the fireblast which lessens the amount of kicks required, but in a pug god speed
boss is awful in pugs
wouldnt surprise me
honestly I have found shaman owns for that boss personally, not required obviously, but the 12sec interrupt actually can make a difference. the warlock and mage thats tough their cd is long as hell
Force you to die
Don’t kick inferno bolt
Unless someone has flame wreath
It’s a healer check
No I want warbean to die
Which most healers aren’t used to given how easy the healing was all in SL
TAUREN
haven't heard of these other 2
other 2 are from china
how is tauren better for huntar? i thought orc was the pet + dmg
i mean, like to say that tauren doesn't compensate/add something in answer?
360 2 second stun, basically instant, enough said really
Pets get double bonus from crit damage racial
I feel medivh is like the one boss i struggle with as prot war, how are you guys managing the fucker?
Sr SW sm
Stupid question inc, what does the abbriviations stand for?
Spell reflect, shield Wall and if those are on CD, shit myself
Ip i guess?
Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
u want to spell reflect very late the very last tick
he then doesnt apply the debuff on u
and other than that u rotate defensives and press a lot of ip
Gotta find a wa for that. Cause medivh is like the obly thing that scares me in upper
Lots of ip
Screaming for an external is also a good option
Atleast im happy im not the only one that hates him
It’s a dps up to shield block
I just Think the only sb you should get on him is from reprisal
sb is 30 % dps increase for your SS
and besides that we have more than enough rage to spend on sb and still have enough to press ip when needed
Ah 😄
ambition clutched
You guys think it’s possible to see prot in some of these?
no
I’m thinking Upper maybe? 🤔
Nk
No*
last boss is already the easiest part of the dungeon so making it even easier doesnt really do anything
Only sense is chad enough to play it
Yea fair
Im happy seeing streets in day 1

Prot can't live medivh in their keylevel
Curator and manawyrm honestly very sketchy too
@sick sentinel @gaunt ocean bit too much trolling
Happens
How are you supposed to do beam on last boss
It just spawns on me and double ticks and I die in .2 sec
it gives a big indicator like 2 seconds before it activates on you
Ye but am I just supposed to start running insta or
I thought it was like first boss gambit
ya go to africa dont stand under boss 

TIL
Tried standing still this time and it didn't work
Tried running another time and it didn't work

Ye for sure
press execute more innit
ele plays necro skybreaker this ssn
its better than last season
but still not it
consider that last season was negative ST
ankh is the best defensive
Idk man after we played with that hunt
Doing 16k in Streets

Also I kinda inted by going aoe build in WS
Should've been full ST
Ye
nf rend seramoo
ele kekw
i said it was better than last season
yup
any chatters
they started the keys 2 levels higher
My RL said only classes who get more ST can hit ads on KT last night and he denied being a padder but even with the pad he did 4k boss dps
And he’s an ele sham
so even tomorrow keys can be bash head against wall keys
Gotta be bad class
ele shamans can cleave upstairs very nicely
but like
call it pad man
My RL plays it and it’s got Phil’s co-sign

theres a reason my ele is retired
I’d take 3 tanks before an ele sham
i have 2 ele shamans in my guild
it fills me with rage
2 ele 2 resto no totem
get matt
So I can but I don’t do 0 damage

where are u even supposed to CD on kt i got giga confused on it man


echo not even 2 chesting 29 streets
Here's an oldie but a goodie

on cd
honestly no idea
boss died so fast since hc so kinda whatever
anyone know how exactly you reflect the flamespitter mobs in iron docks
stand in the frontal
You press reflect on and walk to fire
for the blast you stand in front, for barrage you step in fire with reflec t up
so during the cast
or do i walk into a fire puddle on the ground
like in GD
ah
both work?
yep
both do insane dmg
but if theyre synced you should reflect blast
since it hits both (assuming you pull 2 at atime)
thats the frontal
i just walk into the fire
for raids you sim
you arent going to die just because you have low vers
is this right for raiding?
Lol
I'd also say change Crackling Thunder to Bounding Stride most of the time, since it doesn't give you as much potential use unless you're using the range extension for whatever reason
But Ravager to ITF is more important
oh no more almans
What is your secret

Tgp
Ye
echo gonna disqualify for failing to do ID
ambition doin really well rn

only team to +3 all 26s
decent ngl
dorki in danger
2nd place CN doin better than 1st on CN i think
echo got 3 29++

key starts 26
thats fine imo
26>29>31
if ur brazy u got all 4 at 31 end of day
ye play better
you should double tank it
ya flamespitter tech is massive
how high was your fucking key if it did that much dmg
28
hm
sound about right
in our 26 it did 3.5mil combined
i only got 500k for some reason
despite eating it on CD
Which one is flame splitter 🤔
rylaks
the fire birds
I thought it was called something else or are there two different things you can reflect off them
they do about the same dmg
if you even get there
ya
i had 27ID and as 5tank without any practice besides 2 keys?
lmao no
almost timed the 26 tho if not for an unfortunate stars mishap where 1 entire pack didnt get pulled
5 tank sounds pretty sick for first 2 bosses though
multiple targets you can get to 20%
2nd boss is AWFUL
then group swaps
FUCKING AWFUL
really?
you cant cleave anything
you cant move anywhere
cuz all traps are always in melee
reprisal on 2nd makes me want to kms tbf
2nd boss is the worst in that dungeon
by miles
cuz the ranger is just freecasting 24/7 cuz you cant stand anywhere
and everybody gets perma hit by the melee cleaveguy
you can los him round the corner
You can all just stand on top of the mobs
And wont get hit by anything
Stand on top of nox
and lose banner
You wont
you will
No
nah dont need to charge weave
you have like omega haste at that point
^
do you run ITF on 5 tank
hell no
Ravager better anyways
You should have enough rage gen without being hit on 3 targets just with intervene and cds
was rdm kinda meh in upper?
Assuming you bl there
I've been asked to do Mechagon Workshop 1st pulll solo, I just watched a video by a DK, can we do that ourselves ?
Yes
we'll die if we all stack ontop of nox
Ye tech is that the flame slash doesnt hit you if you are on top of nox as everyone
Yep
good catalyst candidate right there with the socket
also we only have 7 stacks of haste buff on 2nd boss
🤔
My stat weight is straight trolling
Looks like mine when I have into the fray instead of ravager
Stacked in mastery like. Wot.
think i should try fray? i can't keep banner not really close even
no
50% of your rage isnt coming from hasted sources
reprisal/banner/demo/ravager
ITF isnt gonna fix your banner uptime
thats fury stats
Tips or tricks for dealing with Attumen the Huntsman on plus 20 keys. Thanks in advance
Doesn’t it hurt the whole group if nobody soaks?
How many times?
until he jumps back on his horse
thanks
he recasts but if he has another ability on CD he'll cast that first
Gate also works IIRC
That is cancer
What's the consensus on bis trinkets? Is dinner bell very strong?
what is that even
your bis trinkets are ows aegis rdm in most cases
old warrior soul, shard of annhyldes aegis, reactive defense matrix
Thank you
Is Salvaged Fusion Amplifier not good? wondering why its not showing as suggested in the guides.
it's def good for ST dps
SFA might good in like
ows + rdm will be the best all-around combo however
26 ID SR 
too bad we trolled 28 and 27 with real stupid deaths
i thiiiiiiiiiiink the frontal SR does more
but not sure
and too lazy to check in logs
ran it in a few workshops earlier and it was avging like 7-800 dps overall, wouldnt even bother swapping to it in higher keys
Why is your TC higher than your execute?
cuz it's pointless to be executing in most of these pulls we do
any recommendations for dinar? got two and enough for 1 heroic 1 mythic upgrade
That's from my streets 25
Mythic rdm
really?
Actually no
not HC RDM 311 shield?
Heroic rdm and mythic shield
yeah
unless you're doing 27+
in which case maybe aegis
but i think 291 rdm 311 LoD shield
is the play
no bueno on the 311 weapon?
Shield > weapon
Like sure, 311 weapon is a big dmg upgrade, but shield is also a big surv upgrade
and if you're doing some mythic you'll get 304 eventually anywya
i was gna say weppie 
i was gonna make a weppie and a sfa before i wrote here xd
aegis is better for keys?
tbh there's a 304 Discordant Deathblade sitting in my vault
or a spherule
i guess i take those?
Then just take that and be safe with a haste weapon
Lords is the shield to go for, right?
Ye
take 304 weapon
get 311 shield
go for either hc aegis or rdm or ows depending on trinkets you got and keylevel you wanna play
im wanting to do like 20-24s probably not higher than that
Then you don't want aegis
That's complete overkill for those levels, unless your group is bad
What's the different between rdm and aegis really?
I have 298 OWS, 304 Glutt Spike
and then some other shit
298 leech eye of command
that i forget to use
and play ows rdm
rdm is very good passive tankyness and gives you a lot of dps for free as well
aegis is a very strong extra external but 0 dmg
in that keylevel you shouldnt need any extra defensives however
so just going for throughput for both dps and hps is better
will i be going mythic rdm or ows first?
I had not known this so thats good to know
Thanks ❤️
what weapon consumable are we using keys?
sharpening stone
stone
Ows might be good early lvl70 stuff
nah
Both of those are bad for prot
we hardly want our hp ever below 50%
bis set is 3 abilites + haste
yea i was lucky with rings on both 15+ so i only upgrade to get better ilvl
yeah i mean the stats are fine
would swap to to haste one in future
The main point i get prot, even it suck but then when i get better one - swap
eh i mean you can wait to upgrade it b4 swapping if thats what you mean?
i mean both rigns is current my highest i have according ilvl
OM workshop is really good for haste
right right and you should still wear them for now
wdym junkyard sucks
can you wear two different workshop rings
maybe they mean the ring doesnr have a lot of haste
he just means the heavy crit ring
which is fine
well obv
ah true well for this current ring pairing that doesnt really matter
just wasn't sure if they were unique-equipped as a set
the crit main stat haste off is nice
i agree
if you have haste mainstat on all pieces you will go into haste dr fast
once you get to 40% you will start getting dr
Gotcha, thanks
depleted by 2 seconds holy crap
very sad
what about you worry about that near 300 ilvl?
can i keep signet as legendary or should i really change it to whatevers better... i tend to play arms as well as prot but i dunno if its worth changing at this point
signet is basically not a legendary for prot
Signet goes brazy wym
Then you slap on mbg
Cooking
Maybe this is the new 2s meta
Brb going to buy my lotto ticket
thank you bb. I would be mad at anyone who looted that as well lol
Wow rolled leech and a socket. Nice grats.
Hmm today i am gonna get a bladestorm and die cause i cant press defensives
I mean yeah but ur rage generation is fucked
@sick sentinel wtf was echos 31 docks route
No im just surprised they got it done
Has anyone made a Spell Reflect guide for the S4 dungeons?
I've ran Workshop about 13 times this week, still no ring. My only solace is how much I enjoy soloing the first pack before boss.
fort storming bursting for id
Is there a weak aura to track how much we have on ignore pain ?
Ty
I have looted it, it stays in my bag unused atm
I keep getting the ring
Like an annoyingly high amount
And it’s always after the key gets griefed by the arcane mage doing 8k dps and dying every 3 seconds
So the key to getting the ring is to have dps grief the key
How good is enforcers stun grenade? I got lucky and got a 288 one and it seems stupidly powerful. Vers trinket with 20% vers for 20 seconds on a 2 minute cd
tonight i tanked a 19 and 2 17's without devastator talented without realizing it

how the hell are we supposed to do karazan? Like theres 6 forks up and I cant survive that
4 is trucking
do dps just need to kill them faster like idk
I went from 5k hps the entire fight to 10k at the very end
i had the other one to do the big shields slams in pvp
yea those forks nearly 1 tapped me earlier in a 15 caught me off guard
like idk how to do that boss other than dps focus down forks when they spawn lol
cause there is no way to survive that
running two defensive trinkets literally because of that singular boss and its still gibbing me through both
defensives rotated and as soon as they dropped im dead
the only way I can see that being doable is having max 4 forks and even then its probably a defensive
Cleave off the forks,
thats what im thinking
Damn pvp prot warrior player 
chad thundercock
only a 28 ID, it's probably gonna be top on fort week lmao
Spell reflect being balanced
anyone know why none of the Upper kara prot warrior keys have any spell reflect dmg logged?
was trying to see how much SR was doing on 29s but its just not on any logs
I have not
Seen a final boss spell reflect dmg on upper at 1.59m
Not sure key level
Hey Guys. I need a little help. Is there a Haste Cap for Prot Warry. Actually i have:
Hatse: 37.3%
Versa: 18.6%
Mastery: 20.1%
Crit: 16.1%
its like 40% unbuffed
okay. Thanks guys 🙂
SR doesn't count towards your dmg on logs
You gotta check the specific mob, and see how much dmg it did to itself

they should kinda die yeah, but i think prot tends to be decent vs them as its basically nothing but autoattack damage and we block like mad if you keep uptime of SB
When did it become 166
Thought it was 100 when gcd doesn’t get shorter
Depending on the content you do, those stats are fine and i would even say that reaching 20% vers is a good reach and simply get as close to 40% haste as you can
That’s dumb
166% is when you can perma chain SBs
100% is gcd cap, but we still have alot of hasted spells who benefit from additional haste
I mean like 2 is fine, and even 4 was manageable, but like they let it hit 6 and that’s when shit hit the fan
Like I know it’s only a 20 and I’m bad but I like to think I played pretty well in that situation
The fight has gone on too long and/or someone died and/or your dps actually just sucks
because its a dps check at the end
Makes more sense
Just like on wikket
If someone dies and yyou dont INSTA CR
you get behind on adds, then youre likely fucked
Ahh
attempted 24-25 so far, and yes its rough.
I didn’t know about the 166% meta
Does that mean you can macro ip into ss
At that point
I swear if one more dps gets one shot by those swirlies on final boss ima lose it
No because on bosses like medivh you have no use at all for SB
I’m saying
If you have 166% haste
Can you just macro shit together
Joke question
For sure, but the rage gain on medivh is lower compared to other bosses that actually hit you
Also yeah not shield blocking is a big dps down
And on a 24-25, getting caught off guard by missiles with not enough rage for IP stacking and/or if SW was used for another missile
That’s your fault
On tyrannical
We have dbm for that
?????????????
You know when casts are going off
His cast orders are completely random
So you plan accordingly
But you know when he’s casting
Just not what he’s casting
Protwarrs are even TPing out after curator to swap to Wall lego for him, which also helps the group but still, the extra SW
I’m saying you can still shield block for damage
As long as you are holding enough rage to mitigate
yea thats just meh dps honestly
I’m not saying you should dump rage on sb for fun
sure but thats not your main concern on that fight
You guys are pressing SS?
Nah.
Even if im not too found of reprisal it feels like I’m gonna miss this mini game of block uptime (and banner uptime) in DF
while the bonus of reprisal is really good i'm not really fond of the playstyle tbh
idk, going out of packs and charging back in mid combat feels wrong
leap out, charge back in feels even more wrong
but i guess with 166% haste we don't need reprisal any longer 😄
Jumping out and back in is fun to me but disorienting at first/ I sometimes get turned around
i picked up an RDM last night from normal difficulty
big ilvl upgrade over what i had. i was kinda pumped
now i have a pocket red mage! lol
Might be stupid question but is it possible to keep a 100% uptime in Shield Block in an m+ environment?
you shouldnt look at your SB uptime but rather your blocked hits
whats the point of having SB in a caster pack for instance
i dont know if its possible. it might be. my personal max atm is like 73% uptime reported by details!.
80-90% is the goal to hit
look at your blocked hits
i look at the aura for shield block for total uptime in combat
details! stops tracking time when combat drops iirc
SS damage duh
its a 20 sec cd. i just used mine to check
Wtf isnt it 25?
mouse over yours. 20 sec cd
now that i'm pushing into the 14-16 key range, its getting more and more difficult to get group invites lol
1700 rio, 282 ilvl. seems lots of competition in the range ive entered
Back in 9.2 it got buffed to 20sec CD
Question about secondaries: is it really haste > all even after 30%? Sims continue to switch out haste for crit for me and i'm at 32% atm. I guess i follow sim results?
Haste is our best defensive stat, and generally never bad to get more of
You're not wrong to follow Sims aswell
I do the same
Yes
i have a bunch of crit and parry atm
Rn im running 33% crit and 33% haste
i'm 21/32/19 crit/haste/versa at the moment
feels balanced
damn lower and upper kara both kicking my ass all over town
My prot warrior ilvl 296
Sometimes people dont even want me in 16 keys lul
15-16s and 20s are the worst to pug in my experience
it's full of clueless people
probably because they are breakpoints and are more targeted by people in general
Yea they die alot
But easiest way to finish the 8 304 vaults
When those pugs pull zul in gambit when i pulled almost the entire starting zone to skip it
:C
i was spamming workshop for the ring and in one 20 i did the warlock was demo and had the destro legendary. When asked about it he said "i don't have a demo leg"
i mean, what is it now like, 15k for a 291 base?
ye
the same lock even bragged about doing 10k overall at the end of the run
i didn't even have words xd
ye ahahah
why were you spamming 20 workshops
3 drops + the hope of not being top dps at the end of the run
20s sometimes are faster than 15s
idk
dobby is a free elf now tho, i dropped the ring
if i'm topping the dps at 13k it means the key is going slowly
Are you playing with shitters/inviting them?
Take charge
as i said i dropped the ring, i am free now
i can stop pugging and wait for the buddies to come back from vacation
but man it felt bad, and it reinforced the fact that i don't understand how can people play m+ while only pugging
i mean probably in higher keys it's different
but for keys < 23 it's like terrible
or at least it felt that way
i didn't pug anything higher tho
I just got disarmed on the first boss in streets
That should be possible right
ive never had tha before
shouldnt*
did you happen to intervene someone right before? 
nope
It happens if 1 or more people are dead
lmfao yeah that would explain it
Banned from damage on remnant because I kept pulling aggro
))):
I found if I do my rotation only while I’m tanking and auto attack the rest of the time I do exactly my DH cotank dps
tell your cotank to stop slacking
He’s RL
tell him to stop slacking
I told him actually
Taunt has 4x threat mod for its duration
But he did not care he said stop attacking
literally the very first night of raid with my new cotank i told him im not having a shitty low dps cotank
Well I don’t rly have a choice for some reason I am the only raider not allowed to perform their optimal rotation
@thorn spruce knows a thing or 2 about that
cant he just taunt before the tank mechanic?
Blue/green
and you sit with boss rest of the time
suffering doesn't swap target
ya if the cast started
It was like just before
it shouldnt matter
then just quit on your own
Because I’m doing over 2x his dps
and tell him to get good
yeah just tell him to stop sucking hole
does he tell you to stop dps in public or in /w
Yelled at me in front of raid
LMAO
Like pull 6
idk what your dynamic is like in that raid
but yeah
i mean i'm RL so whenever i rip threat i'm just like
"hey man i'm pumping tonight so maybe taunt before tank mechanic even if you have threat just to make sure"
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
famous triple digit dps cotank
the only time it's fair to ask a pwarr to stop pumping bc of threat

is during execute
i think our damage is so dumb in execute that it's fair to ask to stop
because the only thing that can hold is bdk during gavel
but in normal phase
our damage is good
but it's not rip threat good
what trinkets does he wear
So ofc I’m going to rip threat in 5 GCD
He’s VDH so cheat death I assume
Or aegis and cheat
our burst on pull is insane with lust because we getl ike
8 outbursts in our first 30 seconds
idk if he's wearing defensive trinkets in s4
just make fun of him
DH take a lot of dam
hey guys more great push in 30 minutes
Blizzard needs to 10x threat because this is literally a classic wow issue
Threat has been scuffed all xpac
it should just be very simple you take a 25% dmg dealt reduction, and then threat is increased by 5 times whenever you are in any tank spec
Nobody should take that
or if you are a healer spec, you don't lose cast time as easily and mana stuff
It is just such bad design
Spend time practicing my rotation on a training dummy for it to not matter
i just mean that the dps should be the ones topping the dps charts
and not only if your rogue hunter or warlock
Dk and sham pump
bdk yeah
thats the problem ... is tank
frost too yeah, i dunno about UH i heard its in a bad spot compared to frost
100% the dungeon is train
Tgp?
i don't like the train dungeon, its easy enough though
yes
Monks can struggle they dont get the threat from Dave
its global finals theyre gonna do the highest possible keys i think
second boss i have no idea whats going on besides adds and shoot a gun and kill the boss
true but its like almost guarenteed itll be there
didnt they also make higher scrolls
yard is get shockies and omegalul final boss is dead in these things
oh lord
they also uncapped the keylevel
they stopped around 35 i think
and then nothing after that, they were discussing it last TGP
which is why the key times itself if you dont die
last boss gambit- where do you guys tank her
Stairs and to the left a bit
and should do side
makes no fucking difference
I also got roasted
thats what I said
For the same thing
i've always tanked her where she is 0.o
and they blamed me, especially the ones that didnt dodge arrows...
whover makes these videos should be allowed to make more videos at blizzard
I just replied "well im not getting hit so Maybe you should use your eyes"
its dumb pugs being high out of their mind thinking theres any way the boss gets easier on any of the sides
I admit the stairs can sometimes mess with the arrows i guess? but still like just dodge the mechianc..
if you go in the corner the first phase the adds spawn and teeport super close
but its so marginal
thats worse tho
I just got whispered by people even
no reprisal usage
we were on time too
dumb pugs being dumb
yeah like, I admit if I mess up
Like were all avoiding the same shit here
these guys were a-holes
jy is definitely starting at 30
yeah exactly
id be down for fort workshop
Technically yes the boss gets easier the further away from the stars you are but you still have to dodge
if you go too far to the sides you restrict your own space so thats also bad
not to mention the loads of running time to get back to it
I usually go right side pocket area, looking at the boss
After every phase I just leap back
Never ever had a problem
fort jayd
the only 2 ways i have ever seen soleah done
can they 3 chest the 30?
ah so bots stop scaling past 30
i wonder how high u could go if bots didnt stop
40 copium
its melee
one of the china teams +2'd a 35 no?
40 jy is gonna happen
They +2 a 33 last TGP weekend iirc
Pet based i thought
No adblock?
what a crazy sentence

jy is so broken LMAO
cuz im just wondering if its got a short CD, melee has shorter cd sho possible better for fort
i do
survival has a 15 sec cd like every other melee spec (except enha)
am i seeing dk tanks on all 4 groups
of course
ofc
yawn, lol
i mean what did you expect
its the best, people play the best
its not a random community event made for fun
No way they arent playing my main (mw)
or pally
MADGE
Who was meta tank during legion
bdk
so im not 100% sure
Ok ty
I mean the stairs are always either left or right side no? Just away from w/e is the closest star
Ok i will just start tanking there
in legion time trials
meta comp was bdk+4 WW
🙂
but yeah bdk was really the only viable tank for high keys
not even like they were the best
bdk need to be nerfed into the ground
they were just the only one that could do it
the guardian nerf does look hilariously pointless now yeah
since when should balance be based on rotation OP?
that logic has so many flaws
BDK should be where brew is now im power in DF
Imo
All tanks should be ppal/brew pwar level
where is brew?
Tank balance this expansion has been maybe the best ever tbh
i agree
why does it matter how good the other tanks are? 
you balance things among eachother
you need to look at how strong other tanks are
It makes my pp feel small when they death strike from 0->100 every global
If all tanks are stupid OP it's also fun 
Rn all tanks are giga op compared to the content
dk is also omega good
Which is ideal
