it's 5 seconds out of combat before it starts a 20 second timer to get back into combat
Ok, so technically there is a way to not drop stacks at all unless its stuff like GD 2nd boss or Gambit 1st boss, stuff that actually you gotta wait and cant do much otherwise 😄
do y'all have any tips for piercing missiles
reflect the last tick so you dont get the debuff
Bring lots of interrupts
how do thes conduits look?
not green enough
i mean
no covenant is "bad" in the sense that they make your character weaker
but compared to necro, yes, the other covenants are all bad
if necro is up here
.
.
.
.
.
and kyrian is down here
.
.
and no covenant at all is down here
then kyrian is real bad
necro is ahead by around 2k dps, which is significant, but in no way makes kyrian bad something being good doesn't make others bad, just means its not the best. I'm in no way saying roll kyrian, but its not bad in the sense that running kyrian is going to kill you, or be the reason your damage is low
venthyr prot is the way to go
Naw it's bad
If you're doing real content it's a complete hamstring to you survival and damage wise
Running kyrian will definitely kill you even at like the 23-24 level
you're so much squishier on that shit
relative to what necrolord gives you
kyrian is bad
if you're not going to call kyrian prot warrior bad, then you're not going to call any covenant choice bad, imo
"A wooden razor isn't bad just because most functional razors are steel"
If things are exactly the way balance-wise with covenants as they were when I started my break I'd say it's maybe 5% hyperbole
it's tough because like
there aren't level 20 beards vs. level 35 beards
where the wooden razor can handle the lower level beard
This debate sums up the current perception of the game. Everything is either viewed as BiS or utter garbage.
Only the sith speak in such absolutes.
I mean, that's just SOME people
Imo play w/e .
You can freely do 23-24 as Kyrian/NF, hell even as Venthyr.
Is NL better? 100%.
Are the other garbage? No (coughVenthyrcough)
The real content you’re considering is not most content. Kyrian is completely viable for any keys below like 24 and even mythic raid, might be an issue once you hit the final mythic bosses, but for the majority of mythic you aren’t going to have any issue
This is exactly what I’m saying. I’m not arguing kyrian is better, or worth going over necro. But calling something bad is misleading when going kyrian is completely viable for the majority of players
What are these wild takes.
Holy crap.
The "Something is Nr1 so the rest must be sh*t" is the tier list view.
"Uh,oh, S rank only BDK, that means everything else is crap."
the other covs are less fun than necrolord, ergo, garbage
Samez
I enjoy nf the least tbh, but that’s mostly cause I don’t like frontal cone abilities
if the mysterious "massacre changes execute visuals" note in dragonflight is bringing along the condemn animation, all is right with the world
Up to 24 and mythic raid is free obtainable on anything lol
Agreed.
You do realise that most people don't even do keys past 15 ye?
For the top 1% of players yes lol
Most people are not very good at the game
if we're talking all wow players most people like. barely engage with m+ as a system haha
^
If you're just counting the top players of the world then:
Any of them can do a 25+ key as a Kyrian/NF/Venthyr. 🤷
I'm saying gauging what's good and what isn't by what can clear mythic raid and mid range keys is kinda off
Someone bring out the bells curve for covenant choice
Thinking ythat you can't do a 25+ key as any of the other covenants.
Smh.
What is this
You def can lol
i think it is: worth telling people what the most powerful thing is, but not being weird about it if they'd rather play something else because they're not going hard
25s this season aren't what they were in prior seasons and it's not at the level of scaling required to warrant being good at the spec as opposed to just a decent player
This is pretty much the most based take
People need to realize some people aren’t going to play the meta, and not playing the meta isn’t wrong, it’s personal preference.
prot warriors should not need to be told this, of all people
If pwarriors are so worried about playing meta just roll bdk lol
I think if you're serious about pushing on your spec, you should definitely want to play what will help you the most on your spec
Changing a covenant =/= changing classes
It’s mostly a joke, but you’re right
Sorry had a guildie who used the same argument concerning a similar topic xd
i think the other half of the equation is... people should be honest with themselves about what kinds of content they're realistically going to want to do and how hard they actually need to optimize
Lol no worries
That take is a meme take and anyone who believes it is weird
i do think if you're the sort of person who has deep-seated anxieties around not being meta you'd really better get ready to switch a lot
or i dunno
learn to play the harp
or some other hobby
Start leveling those tanks now
Better pay attention to all 6 discord so you’re always up to date on every spec
Since I gotta go to bed, my final take is play whatever, and if someone asks for advice on a non necro covenant, present them with necrolord, but still answer their original question. If they’re question was “why am I dying while playing venth prot in a 20 pug fort lower Kara,” well then the answer was probably they are the wrong cov lol, but if it’s what conduits are best for theotar in the pug 15s then “I’d recommend playing necrolord, but the best conduits are”
Which I’m actually guild of so
Necrolord would be better, but for kyrian those conduits are the way to go
🤷
do they normally work?
Yes.,
which shield?
ilvl
If you won't ever get mythic upgrade tokens, the 304
If you will get mythic tokens, the 298
Hey, just return on my war which item you think I need to take ?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/wAebKjjVA1cwnV8g9rNda5
True ><
but the 298 shield has better stats and avoidance 😦
304 has more block and main stat
true true
I change for you guys ❤️
For starters you should sim patchwork not dungeon slice,
The dungeon slice sim is not optimised
But as you can clearly see, the sim is telling you to pick weapon from vault, which is one of the top items to pick from vault generally
And I assume you can't upgrade all your gear to 298 yet, and don't have higher ilvl options from vault. So it's not a bad pick
Wait there's a shield in there
ok but assuming i can go farm my items in mm+, wouldn't taking the 304 shield and going farm a weapon be more interesting?
yeah 304
Going from 252 shield to 304 shield is like a 40% surv increase
Closer to 20% but still
Absolutely massive
INSANE, thx to you 🙂

Some damage gets through the block?
Blocking is not 100% mitigation?
Man, you learn everyday 😎
is fusion hacker anygood?

or which weapon is the best weapon?
i c
and best wep is the one from rygelon IF u can get it on fated mythic
ty<3
Help me friends! I have a mythic upgrade token. Should I upgrade shield or OWS to 311 😱 gut says shield
Both are 298 fyi
Shield, ows scales pretty bad with ilvl
Shield
Ows is the lowest prio on getting to higher ilvl
Going from 298 to 311 OWS you gain maybe like 15 extra haste
Schweet. Gut was correct. I hadn’t run the numbers yet.
I need to get my first dinar item and I'm wondering:
Annhylde trinket in HC ilvl
OWS in HC ilvl
I'm 90% sure I want Annhylde trinket because i've the nathrezims for the haste anyways, but i'm still doubting if i'm trolling myself, what do you guys think?
are u doing 26s?
My plan is to move to that eventually, But made the warrior a couple weeks ago and i'm in the 16-17 range atm
Ows
then u have 0 need for aegis
Aegis is overkill times a million
I want to get into 20s this week, it matters? no right?
Okay, I'll go for OWS as a first trinket and will get aegis in 2 weeks from now
Get rdm instead
Or maybe I'm lucky and get it from HC or normal today (?)
u can get it from lfr as well
Defense matrix off guardian
Okay, Matrix
That+ows is the general go-to for keys, and you wanna upgrades matrix before ows
Then is better to start on matrix?
Ows should be your first dinar
Okay
I wouldnt buy anything until you cleared All raid difficulties tho
tyvm
This is my third raid, so it means I've cleaned everything. Should I wait until this weekly chest?
just in case?
by that logic u wait for every weekly
Just clear hc/normal/lfr if you drop it there theres no point sending a dinar on it
because the chest is from all fated bosses you've killed
I have the ring at 298, i have 304 hands, the weap makes me sad but my current weap is 298
should i take the ring or weap? or 6x tokens
Weapon
but it has no stats 😭
probably last thing on that list is hands sure its tier set but with lower stat weights and shitty stats to begin with
i'd probably wait on someone whos a bit more knowledgeable than i am
cro is knowledgable, but abrasive
I know the weap is the correct choice, but i hate that weap 😄
hes here currently, or was in the last lil bit
do you want me to be abrasive to you?
take sockets then
oh yeah big boy abrasive me up cro
it's your vault
like for example i had the worst possible vault imaginable
You got 9 belts?
both 304, but one is a literal duplicate item ring of what i have, so thats a a dead choice and then i have boots, good stats but thats my primary legendary slot.... and it can only be crafted in feet or legs, and then had to craft unity for 4th time now, cuz i've deleted chest, (previously a reccomended craft to higher stat budget, now we craft in wrists for lowest stat budget....🤔 .)
so, i'm so frustrated by that i have to remake unity, and then legendary that i make glory waist instead of unity
but, thats only 12k, which is like, 4 ish callings, bit of L bozo but whatever
(i didn't buy wrists the first time [yesterday vault] because its 25k gold vs 12k, and you still get the socket)
Short term probably 304 signet but you want mechagon rings anyway so i would take sockets
Gluttonous spike isn’t the best aegis still outshines it, idk about RDM but I wouldn’t take spike over it in m+. It def is low tho so you’d have to sim it to find out. And both rings are pretty good, I’d go with the 304, but you have to consider that ideally you want the mechagon rings, so you will prob replace the 304 with a 298 mecha ring. But what I would chose is the 304 ring
definitely, gonna take the 304 ring then in place of the signet, thanks @undone verge @lofty widget
i wanna have bis gear and trinket (as well as game time) without having to put in any effort
any good 9.2.5 PS up?
kapp
whats strange about someone wanting to have best gear for m+ and not liking raid?

i have a normal shard of annlahydes and a normal OWS
im conflicted between taking funny vers trinket or codex mainly because the codex is 304 ilvl
dont take codex
fair enough
Rdm
Ah nvm
You switched the order
The gluttonous spike is your most immediate upgrade
Over the 252 aegis
i had spike at like 200ilvl in 9.0 or 9.1, i thought it was okay.
But if you want the choices you have:
-spike over aegis
-pick the 304 collapsing star
-pick 2 sockets
So whichever you like best
thanks
how do you deal with oshir' wolfes and wyvern?
but do i, as a tank, need to go melee to wolves when they come out of the cage or stay in middle?
i didn't pick the sockets cuz i have nothing worth socketing, only a 304 helmet
would have taken ring if it wasn't same effect.
I only have the activate when below 50% hp ring though
u probably really want the ring, but i could be mistaken
100%
thats a haste ring with a haste proc if you have the other piece
does rally, or say, OWS trinket, trigger "Logic Loop of Synergy If you heal a target whose health is below 50%..." my assumption is ability, yes, trinket/item/special button no
You want actual armor pieces first
Unless you don't wanna grind for the mecha rings
grinding for mechagon rings is easy, grinding for correct ones is hard
hands
I can upgrade the oens I have to 298
You can do the same with mecha rings
change weapon mog so similiar but darker color more "steel weapon" type
And a 298 mecha ring is only 10 total stat points worse than a 304
alright alright
the gloves in vault are haste mast
but i guess it makes sense since main stat
You turn them into tier most likely anyway
if they had that.... uhh..... axe? im think its an axe? without the horns, and in iron/steel colors that would be perfectfor ur mog, don't touch the red glow (much)
I'll look into what I have!
arent the tier gloves like crit mast?
say I get the mechagon haste ring later, is it worth using it with the below 50% activation over a haste/vers ring?
yes, cuz now i have to use actual tier hands, bad, they are 272, worse, they are season 3! oh no the horror. oh well anyway...
That's not bad tho like
You want a bit of every stat
Not exclusively haste/vers
the ones I have are crit vers, surely better right?
right now I just really want a new shield
it's like you missed the part of 304 being higher ilvl than the ones you have

ahh yeah sorry
thats haste mast
swap haste for crit?
I guess so
I also have one dinar left which I'm gonna use on either SFA, RDM or Cheat Death trinket
1 of those is extremely wrong
You have me stumped! Two choices left and I cant decide which
you trolling me right?
no
okay
im just a noob
try to sell me all 3 trinkets
cough rdm cough
one is very defensive, one is very damage, one is very damage but less damage than other one?
ahh!
I understand
its RDM
No
But i went on Tattman stream and he said "you gotta use the cheat death trinkets buddy"
Oh, we went for completely wrong, oopsie
tattman is boosted
can you guys remind me, RDM says reflect the damage back. Reflect means I still get the damage but deflect means I don't take the damage right?
I need english lessons!
you take the dmg
so RDM does not have any defensive features about it?
and reflect it back to enemies
it does have a shield
o_O
oh
wait its the opposite
deflect is when you take the damage and reflect it back and reflect is when you dont take damage and reflect it back
verb
1.
(of a surface or body) throw back (heat, light, or sound) without absorbing it.
its Dota 2 fault
you reflect dmg to enemies
there blademail has reflect but you still take the damage
Right now i'm doing 15-20 keys and pugging heroic raids
So I guess in this content RDM + OWS makes most sense?
generally ya. cant go wrong with that
Tattman... what a filthy liar
rdm better in dungeons than in raid but still fine
he said "+2? +20? +200? cant go wrong with cheat death"
lmao
wat now
hes not technically wrong… but you are just saying “i intend to die” if you run that
he was number 1 on raider io
again
how is this not the definitive answer?
that just means he has a group
like I said
boosted
because u can look at his logs, hes better than most but last season fir a stretch there was a rank 1 prot that had 60% blocked hits, which is aweful
what trinkets do you guys run for raid and dungeon content
he just had a group
I run sfa + ows in all content
i run rdm and OWs in all content
If I had upgraded my rdm I'd run that
i run sfa and ows in raid yeah
probably SFA and OWS when i can upgrade SFA cause i only raid
its whatever you like the most at those levels tbh
Exceedingly divided between rdm and ows indeed
it wont break the key or wipe the rsid
But I appreciate the help. I once asked similar question on the warlock discord, huge insults! I guess it is the class fantasy
But everyone said OWS? It was just matter if they had SFA or RDM also
That's the joke
Just default to rdm + ows
And youre Gucci
Trinkets won't determine your success
Once you get into like 28+ you can look into getting aegis + ows
Or aegis + cheat for extra safety
I also have the uhh... 298 terror bag trinket from streets
I probably shoulnt have bought shard and used RDM for dungeons and SFA for raids
It's a solid buy
But if you and your group are good at what you're doing aegis loses a bit of value in mid to low range keys
something like this (just weapon specifically), for mog, but maybe not with wood handle (i'd assume mechagnome would use somthing steel handle), then again, ur mog, and i still like it anyway alot lol
Mechagnome/10
eyes coming through helm/10
Y'all are using terrible weapons
right now i'm trying to make something new to fit the gearglider mount
Fish or nothing
fish > thunderfury
Fishfury
hi wich trinkets i should use as Prot Solea + Codex or Solea+howl
solea and howl
ok and if i get OWS that +Solea right?
yes
sell codex
was literally typing that
why you thrown your own in the container?
^^
ok thx and codex was after reroll Prot my first trinket i got
rather have an empty slot tbh
yeah as i gear up i was happy about the extra life.
becouse with s2 gear was M+ hard enough
Hey, im very very new to Prot Warrior, got 2 Legys but only 1 set item atm, as soon as i get pieces i craft all at the catalyst. Is necro a viable option with 2 leggys but no setbonus? I like necro way more then kyrian
its still viable
then play necro
can i upgrade lfr loot to HC? if i got the run
thanks
yes
thx
Without tier you prob won’t have 100% uptime on banner, but you will have around 1:30 if you play it right. Once I got 2 set tho It was easy to get just over 2 minutes on banner. All this is with a pretty low haste value tho, so if you have one in the 30s it should be pretty easy to manage banner
wild talents
yeap
funny how he got all talents wrong except 2
yes
idk what give me more headache :>
trinket or talents :>
they're also not using reprisal
👀
he was
on back
and spear on wrists
or other way around
but pretty sure was
reprisal goes on legs/feet
if they had a back legendary, it would have been the wall
reprisal goes on legs/feet because it's a charge legendary and you use your legs to charge
🙂
Not pallys ♿
that +15 agi enchantment is clutch, i should start doing that
classic player for sure right
wonder if they've got that int enchant for weapon skilling

listen i remember agi still gave crot in pandaland
sometimes i still feel the urge to enchant agi
just for crit number go up
will do
You guys wanted it, you're gettin it

How to parse w disclaimers on wiping the raid
he's almost certainly playing it up for content
but that makes it worse
can't stand this guy
no, the point were i noped the fuck out of that cluster fuck was they were talking about dude is 300k +in the hole, and then, the girls given a bunch of personal cancer money, and then they are like, well, lets get a fund set up to pay some of the victims back, oh and you can do it in crypto
no red flags and sirens sounding that the entire building is on fire, none at all.

twitch drama went to 11, i noped out, it was trending all over twitter for 2 days and still is.
The sliker drama has already kind of blown over
yeah, sadly they just have to wait for something bigger and dumber to happen and they'll sweep it under rug more or less
still tons of radiation fallout from the twitch nuke

Now imagine if youtube actually launches better services for their streamers this week/month and twitch will soon become obsolete
no idea who that is more than tip of the iceberg
Yeah YouTube live is handled by an even more incompetent group than twitch
It’s the worlds easiest layup if they just made their website good
i feel that exact same way about world of warcraft.....
Im convinced the main reason youtube doesnt want their streaming platform to be as big is just because that its not cost effective especially on smaller streamers
twitch is so dogshit atm, i just sat through 5 preroll ads and then 15 minutes later 7 midroll ads
on a streamer i'm subbed to, who has ads turned off
fortunately twitch doesn't run midrolls in poland for some reason so you can just VPN yourself over there but still
The real hack is to just get twitch turbo
they got twitch ultra or some shit that gives no ads for any streamer, and i think its uh 11..99 usd a month?
Or you know ublock
i might have gotten that at one point but not now
does ublock work on twitch anymore
Is ublock pretty consistent with it?
i'm pretty sure most of the mainstream adblockers don't
I have like 3 or 4 on now and get them still
And used to be you could refresh out of them now it resets your ads

I dont remember if you had to add a script to it or not but i dont get any ads on twitch or anyplace
cat and mouse game with ad blockers
Idk the money thrown around to the big streamers seems way lucrative enough to put the effort in

Bad website seems like the worst hill to die on
I mean yes and no
Big streamers are good
But small streamers just lose you money
Maybe it’s easier to eat the operating costs of that as the biggest platform but I’d think a business seeing a competitor do it better would strike some kind of innovation in their work
Just streaming to no one
But I think YouTube does want to be big
Or maybe YouTube only wants big names
Like vtubers
Seems so odd to me YouTube’s biggest marketing tactic to streamers is “hey here’s a big bag of money and 5 twitch streamers all molested some women so it’s bad over there”
doesnt youtube already operate at a loss or something
Idk what the exact numbers are
But streaming to sub 50 viewers has to be a dps down
lmao
At our company we lose money intentionally
To make money else where
Probably same with yt and twitch
Doubt it
yeah i mean loss leaders are just standard business practice it's just funny to hear twitch whining about it when they're owned by the big A
Hey any tips to do the mini boss pack in gambit ?
skip it 
I wonder if bandwidth got cheaper
Over the years
Probably since discord streaming is near perfect
wait, which guy in gamibt?
if u mean this guy, u just walk past him, or jump over the fence
The zulgamox, last pack in murlocs area
It's that bad to do that pack ?
to each their own. youll find many skip that pack
i did this in my gambit, we died soon after, i think i did, he definitely ran to that group and got some assistance
and then i ran 15 streets today that went really well, only 1 death the other warrior to "rotten food" music boss
Fear lol
there's a spot way off to the right that you can pull the zulgamux pack to
Or just pull it back to where the double scale binders are too
Kill your DPS, I agree
bonus points the lower they key it is, the more likely an errant dps is to pull seventeen more murloc packs when you pull the miniboss pack
if i miss pulling the first giant, i just pull the second giant and then you can pull that pack to east side of map where giant ends his patrol, can't run back and aggro crap easy
Why do people avoid direhorn + cats in high streets?
not great % for the time
Thanks
Not true
The dogs are the issue
And the miniboss on the bridge
Left is popular for very very high keys, you skip miniboss and dogs and play dire horn with cats and 2-3 infiltrators at once
Very dangerous pull tho and wouldn't rly recommend it for pugs
I usually see direhorn omitted from that pull, thats the heart of the question: why omit the direhorn?
Although its also cancer for melee so i think thats a good reason to skip it
what are the garbage weeklies im supposed to do at this point?
Anima omegalul
i need to do that and finish torghast farming for souls to make the abombination thingy
i also have real protection warrior questions
this guy, i'm not sure how you're meant to deal with him
im still not blocking nearly as many melee hits as i should be
kill if you cant skip. is he killing you?
i thought this guy was pretty whatever after the nerfs
normally, i don't know how to real fight him without just turn him into tunnel and eat cleaves
but i've been on vacation for two weeks
that works fine
i turn him into tunnel away from group, so it only hits me
what is the issue?
also the floor explodes so watch that
i dunno if the game designer is intending that you fight him in the room hes in its got like xploding tiles or something, and i seem to remember getting 1 shot by it
yes that's intended, you just move to a non-exploding tile
quaking could be annoying on the final boss if its not timed correctly
it can't happen when you're getting warped iirc
they fixed most of those "fuck you" quaking moments pretty quickly
quaking still occurs ,( at leastin GD that i saw) post key completion, does damage
yeah i've seen it in iron docks
Shield block
Legit just dont drop it and it doesnt do much
On any real keys you skip it because no point in playing it
its a 17
i learned how to correctly do the no invis effect skip in the hallway immediately after zulg
Just make the habit of skipping it, you normally use 3 invis pots on upper either way, first add, that add before medivh and going to chess
I don't know if it still jumps to a dps but specially on fort weeks even on a 17 it might delete one dps
Been needed
Nerfed
But yea your above skips are Gucci. Or a hunter can try to invis and pull for the 4567 time not realising that they need a speed boost or that it's shit and just use a pot. Every gambit ever.
there is 2 demons there (they look like devil demons) but the slip mechanic is giga trolo
you wouldnt pull for at least 1 vampire?
AS Necro wich Convernant we choose? And wich Conduits
i'm pretty sure you've already chosen the covenant
Marileth's the best all around and any others are only technically better in sims, so just sit on Marileth.
Most important conduits are the LS rage generation conduit, Banner STR conduit, Shield Wall cd reduction conduit, Ashen Juggernaut,
uh, the one that gives you str after being healed, uh
listen i'm in class at the moment
You'll also have a choice between the rallying cry conduit and safeguard
safeguard's technically more damage reduction throughout a key, but rallying cry sometimes lets you save suicidal pug dps
thx a lot
what is a more noticeable improvement with mythic token, 311 sword (I have 291), 311 shield (i have 298 with leech) or 304 the nine trinket (I have it at 278)
the trinket right?
but I could try to pug it, this week or any other, the nine is doable in pugs in MM 🤔
Shield
is it really that noticeable? its like 200 armor and 300 block
and the dreadlords shield skin is supercool also 🤔
how much is a leech proc worth on a Chest? Havin trouble with my vault 😄
Show
for Grimrail like 26ish plus the overseers star tto truck. i find it very hard to charge weave because the melee/group always get cleaved. is there any ideas on how to keep mitigation up and not cleave the group
This is my vault. Kinda struggling with the choices. I'm not considering the trinket, because I can buy Annhyldes next reset.
https://raider.io/characters/eu/ravencrest/Faerrox this is my Rio page for gear reference
Boots, legs and weapon token are not really needed aswell. So its basically chest, Cloak or the 6 tokens. My current chest can be upgraded to max this week aswell
Would you convert it to tier Set for different stats or keep Crit Mastery?
Charge Them when they dash through you
Convert to tier
always convert higher ilvl into set
less than 1200probably less than 1k pwars in EU at 2kio sadge
i only want the KSM and DK mount the lvl a classic dk one
KSM should be doable or
Leveling a dk on classic takes like 2hrs if you're chilling
To get the mount
You can just create it and go
Don't need a 55 prior for that
my keystoning has been extremely hit and miss lately,
ran 15 upper the other day and it took 56 minutes, failed a 14 and then the subsequent 13 after words, 3 chest 12, 2 chest 15 we 2 chest the 15 cuz its streets lol
so, your mileage may vary IG lol.
@ionic fern hi friend, hope you're well
What happened to ily. 😦
Did i get demoted?
But, i'm well.
How are you?

he hopes you are a well cuz he really digs you
im just trying to avoid upper once again....
developing negative bias towards this dungeon
I'm up too late. I missed the ily window
I should be sleeping
no idea who ily is off top of head
Go to bed. 😦
Ily.
i know of, i love you, but that doesn't seem like it fits here
is there special crap with zulgamax that after the team breaks the shield.. is it only me that can see the interupt for "drain life"
Ily good night friend
i think the way it works is bubble protects it from interup while bubble holds, but im unsure if its only i can interupt it like boss 2 mists
A lotof dps don't understand the mechanics with the shield and blood drain
You'll often be the only one to kick that
At least that's how it goes in a lot of my groups. Once you get into the 17 to 19 or 20 range, that'll change and dps will kick it much more often
You can also attempt to tell dps to kick it.
And you're right, it can't be kicked while the shield holds. On my ui using plater, the color of the cast bar changes when the shield drops
i think there lies perfect examples of in: upper, way too sparse and linear, and halls of attonement is too populated and open
I used to love Kara back in bc. It was a top tier place to go for me.
Now, however. It's annoying. I've had more groups go bust in Kara than anywhere else this season. Esp lower and the Menagerie guardian
karazhan is a spoopy mind fuck place too with spooky music and ghosts and stuff, does a good job of putting you in the mood
It's a magic castle that can move wherever and whenever mediv wants
How is that not awesome af!
But the best part. Is flamewreath
id call it more like wizard tower keep, a secret ivory tower
even has some scary lookin unused raid enterance at the top behind a gate, where you exit maybe?
karazhan on some level that isn't just bad experiences running it (tbc or now) scares the shit out of me, very hard thing to pin down why
Kara is just spooky in general
All from the area
To the hidden shit underground that was never in the game
except for boomy leggo in legion
and then you got a fiery skeletal dragon... a crazed mage.... and a demon summoning the burning legion in... sounds fine totally not a problem
it is built out of spooky rocks and there g-g-g-g-g-g-ghosts
It's built out of the world knowing that medivh would eventually be born
*gasp - sounds like a 7D chess move by the jailer again
my favorite part of shadowlands is when they spit in arthus' face and say we did it we ended this story that was already appopriately ended in 2009 which also re-ended a story that was apparopriately ended before this game existed.
was a very good ending to this expansion
I'm glad that they didn't do more with arthas
I thought the Arthas ending was weak and the character deserved better
He was an extremely pivotal character for the start of wow and the backstory for game events. To just be..... Tossed seem so weak
The behind the scenes 7d chess stuff was all good and well, but in my mind warcraft started because of Arthas and his actions
But the banshee got her happy ending. I guess that was the important part! Keeping the waifu in a good place for her come back story later
theres always retcons
She got the ending she did all this shit to try and avoid
Being trapped in the maw was what she was trying to get out of
She survived. She will be back
I hope not
I was hoping to be rid of her forever
However That being said, a game like hadees, a rogue lite would be perfect for where sylv is now
Blizz has an opportunity there
How viable is going Kyrian for Mythic plus in the 15-20 range if 100% PUGing it? I know most of the guides mention that Necrolord is far superior with optimal play, but wondering how close they are if unlikely to maintain 100% uptime on the banner
Its viable for sure and you can play Any covenant for those keys, but yeah necro is miles ahead
Gotcha! If that much better, then no reason to go anything else. Thank you both
I run kyrian prot, as I also pvp and sometimes pve dps. It's fine
The shield is super strong from the other cov, and banner is better. However you can run any cov you want, even 100 percent pug.
If you're trying for truly high keys, probably 22 or higher you should consider having banner instead
But for everything else run what ya brung
Plus, nothing is cooler than spearing mobs that like to leap, because pug dps won't stack lol
Spear is amazing for horses in lower
most crucial part of playing Pwar in m+ is remembering that this is basically you with SB up.
Death knights with DRW up
How does commander zo'far link work? Trying to figure out how people play peacekeepers on the miniboss (streets before console to last boss)
The beam that targets 2 players and pulls them together?
It just targets the two furthest away players (from each other)
Well yeah but from vod im looking at it seems like they juat walk into each other and break it, i was under the impression this kills you
It gives you a massive dot
Yeah idk then, they seem to just walk into each other and they are fine
Probably popped immunity or it bugged
No immunes used
And it was intentional i think
Something about grip in comms
Maybe priest tech?
lemiike went live on Twitch. Catch up on their World of Warcraft VOD now.
In case someone has better eyes
I’d just play necro no matter what
A bad necro has 50% uptime
A good kyrian has 0% uptime
Spear of bastion is just not a valuable ability in terms of survival which is what your actual job is as a tank
And if you play banner, you learn that you’re making mistakes much quicker which is valuable
But for 15-20 you could play with no covenant (which is how I view playing Kyrian lol)
Venthyr
Yes
That’s actually no cov
The idea that you need to be “optimal” for necro to best is also just wrong
You can be pretty bad and still have 70% uptime as long as you know how to button mash during last stand
@chrome falcon , i just watched your YouTube vid on banner, recently swapped to prot. I commented some questions on it, would it be easier if I just ask them here?
Ask away
Venthyr best covenant
3 questions, question 1 what addon/profile are you using for your damage numbers that scroll on the left and right of your toon. Question 2, should I pop avatar on CD, unless banner/last stand are almost back up? And 3, should I always hold banner for last stand?
Yeah go for it
Avatar on CD unless it’ll overlap outburst
And my damage numbers are uhh
Fuck I can’t remember
I’ll check when I’m home lol
You're not holding banner for anything.
Is it prat? It might be part
You press it, maintain it.
If you have LS you press it.
It's a DPS up even without banner.
I'd only bother holding if I'm like 3s from banner and for some reason it dropped
Fucking bad take
Nah trolling
U are
His banners will be scuffed without LS
And he’ll think it’s bad
If you can't hold banner without LS it's already fucked mate
That's just dogshit play
It’s not a vaccum
For all functional purposes you are going to want the extra banner time from last stand
Wait for rez, wait for group to catchup to closing bossfight, get cc or sleep
It’s situational
If my banner is down for 30s and I know I can hold my next banner up without LS
I just pop LS
It just depends what’s coming up, if there’s any downtime
Pressing banner on CD is risky
Yes
Gotcha, so starting off I’ll make sure to use together until I get comfortable
It’s technically better cause it gives more damage for the Dps, but if you have to stand there waiting for something you are going to suffer for the next 1:30
You aren't pressing banner on CD, no.
But I slam LS unless I know for some reason I have banner soon and I don't have banner up.
With good banner uptime you can pre plan it dropping and then you refresh
There is rp and long walking spots
What gcd are you pressing charging into a fresh pack
If you're pre-planning dropping it in combat that's clownshoes.
I mean we know you can have easily 85%+ uptime on most dungeons atm
Still kinda goober
Yep but part of being able to do the 85% is not wasting banner during rp if u can help
I pop banner on CD in grimrail because I know there’s no downtime
🤔 ...why? Are you consistently dropping sub 15s every 2m or are you just pressing it when it's low?
I would've thought of all people Matt you wouldn't need to press it more than 2-3 times.
Gotta get that Kevin uptime
I guess it's not bad if you're sub 15s or close to it, but pressing banner at 21s feels bad
Although maybe that's why I always have to slave for the #1 spot on some parses last season, I was just holding it to maintain uptime for a lot of fights with dogshit downtime or running around like Luhivim
I am world best Lihu lfr
I have no idea why, but Halon always made me want to kill myself even though the free charges and perfect uptime seem to be a no brainer.
Same with halon LFR
I hated it in mythic
Made me want to reroll
Mythic halon you can’t even be in melee range of the boss 99% of it
At least not the way my raid was doing it
Halon was always felt really good, but banner would always get kinda close to dropping
I just couldn’t be in range of the boss maybe we had too many melee
It was LITTERED with people
I am the true king of lfr
🤔 Do you not just stand in half the mechs?
I legit don't feel missiles or the mote lines
Well that's a lie, if there's overlap it's bad
But solo I just keep whacking
Sounds like your healers aren't healing you is all.
@waxen orbit had the same issue, his healers were legit trolling him, but also I noticed in like 25s I was with an hpriest that was never topping me like he was waiting for me to death strike or something
Like bro I'm warr I do mit not healing
In general I notice a lot of pug healers have no idea how to operate outside of bear/dk
Because they're such heal-heavy specs
Well you're still gonna dominate that since DPS and heals need a lot more direct attention especially on big group claps
But sometimes they just don't bother topping and my balls sweat
I mean it depends on the situation, like if your below 50 they should be direct healing you but if your like 70 or so you can just shockwave with a burst of rage and usually get yourself pretty healthy
where can i find some routes for 22+?
I mean, it's on packs where tank damage is pretty heavy they'll barely be keeping me alive.
Like, I know we do the same damage at 10% as we do 100% technically, but fuck all that noise of not being topped when I'm getting my ass beat.
I'm not kidding, on some triple pulls I was doing like 18K HPS
I can and have done grimrail with 1 cast but it’s still a group dps increase to pop it on CD
I was losing my fucking mind trying to stay up
Homie was barely putting up 10K DPS with Boon
I was actually malding.
What key level
Best is rushing ahead and 3x pulling mythic raid packs
Pop everything and say “look I’m a bdk”
God don't remind me
Healers have grown weak in the gluttonous age of DPS healer "meta" encouragement and BDKs
Healers who spam smite:
Healers who actively try to keep everyone in the group tapped to at least 80% and understand where and when damage is going to be coming out and how to effectively prepare for it:
This dude looks like he’s better at wow though
That’s basically me
Fair point
Spamming smite >>>
Any smiters? 
Only spell my priest has bound
Healer is an outdated role tbh
5 tank kind of world we live in now

25
tbh healers should be doing as much damage as possible regardless, it just shouldnt come at the expense of others
and understanding how tanks work is a part of that
For sure they need to know dungeon dam profile, their tank, and their rotation because it not like the party is dying 100% of the time
There’s always room for damage button filler
Also divine star being 11/10 op
no lol
That’s what I was thinking lol
healer to unknown on first boss of 15 upper "god you suck"
didn't bother figuring out what it was about, but it was a pug
Tbh healer should be maximizing dmg, since they have to sacrifice more damage to heal me than I have to sacrifice to do more healing myself since that number shouldn’t be any
True
its not so much that, it's that overhealing is a waste
so knowledge of fights is super important
also why good healers track DK resources so they know if they have to worry about them or not
Luckily dk has infinite resources so no need fir that

What if he gets globalled cuz 2 autos made it through parry
Is that just a modern tragedy
No
Wdym
Proc purg
Press HS
Isnt that correct
Bdk is really hard in high keys
Yep
Bdk is so hard that you can solo tank mythic inerva with 0 issues
Like you still have to play the game to do that
But you wont die unless you make missplays
So bdk who dies needs to git gud
Same can be applied to most tanks tho
the main problem was i got yeeted to the second knockback on 2nd platform last boss upper
few clown moments, stuck the curator in a whole bunch of blots for evocate and then got killed.
oh, yeah, quaking ontop of the entire group as mana wyrm dies, i move and butt pulled a guy while healer dead

For a moment I got worried you were one of the goblin girls i've harrassed
Haha
perfect
wish king mechagons helm was optainable
i discovered that thee is a ton of extra appearances from the vendors i can learn, so, more anima giriding iguess
I'm torn between congratulating you for completing your goal and berating you for enjoying mechagnome
2nd one
Possible? Yes
ohh ok..
You can raid without a plugged in keyboard too if youd want
But its severely stupid to do it
just that leggo is a let down for ilvel
I know the feeling but the legendary effect will always trump anything else
leggo ilevel 291 while the rest of my gear is 304
just a thought if its possible to raid without leggo..
can we still do it
why youd do less damage without the legendary power
literally makes no sense
like dog said tho you can probably do it but jesus man
Yeah you can do it
The legendary isnt imperative to our survival in raids
You can pretty easily raid without a legendary
you can also raid naked
farming out this on any dude that can wear a shield atm, also 200%boomer vision activated
yeah i couldn't tell if the question was "can you do this and live" or "is this better"
the answers are "sure" and "very no"
no talents eeven
you only need some of your dps to be competent on heroic
EZ clap
can intervene be made into a @cursor mines still making me click target but the heroic leap and charge i set up ones work just fine
intervene is a targeted ability, you can make a mouseover macro
wait it's weird that charge is working, charge also needs a target
actually let me confirm that on a target dummy when trying it in oribos mousing over player its telling me invalid target for charge that is
It's mouseover
Cursor is for aoe effects
Or just ground effects
Leap, flamestrike, blizzard, rain of fire, etc.
Ty
I just started playing my pwar in keys and I was expecting berserker rage to work like lichborne for the infiltrator sleep puddles, but it wasn’t letting me use it during the sleep and when I tried pressing it and then running over a puddle that also didn’t work. Am I just an idiot or does it not work on the puddles?
There's a lot of fears and incapacitates tho
You can break the Maiden of Virtue repentance without getting the dot for example
Ok that’s nice
ok lads in GD
the starting trash
you tank against a wall. when they do their charge they are allready standing ontop of you. how are you suppose to charge when they do? they are way to close.
i cant use reprisal properly due to the cleave wacking melee
or im doing it really wrong
I usually just tank them in the center of the room but kinda close to a wall so you still have that range to charge them, but idk I really dont spend a lot of time in GD cause I hate it
@ionic fern hi ily
they also can't move after charging for a few seconds if i'm thinking of the right mobs, so you just, uh, walk away and charge them
honestly it's some of the easiest trash to charge in the entire dungeon as a result
When I form groups I always bring a mele. I like having a dk with me for intervene
When someone is forming a pug, I ask for a mele
yea but on a 27 when you have 2 on you that charge at different times the other will cleave a melee which is a 1 shot.
unless im being retarded
that wont work
@worn bear
i've been playing pwar since literal 8.0 you can ask the yellow/orange names here, anyways, short story, im bad at wow, always have been, love the little RP-esque things fitting into frantic combat, and yeah, that stepping into a sleep circle and not being able to BR out of it is just total feels bads.
On top of you look like an idiot for stepping in it in the first place im pretty sure it causes you to stop blocking attacks which is main way we reduce damage, so, its like turbo mega bad for us to get hit by it. Healer can dispell it if they are fast i think?
you cant charge because they oneshot your dps if you go out to charge cro
unless you can communicate with em so they move out for a bit
awful trash in high keys for us
When we stop taking intervene, I don’t think I’ll ever invite another melee to my dungeon
what no, i have a very simple 4 head approach to dungeons though
- Never ever don't bring lust/brez 2. Don't stack classes (comes down to more like spec for me but whatever) unless they are broking f'ing op. 3. 2 melee 1 dps if shit needs to be interrupted, 2 ranged 1 melee if shit needs to be not stood in (melee has shorter CD on interupt in general). addendum, 4: warlock has cookie heal for 25% hp instant 3 charges, INSTANT INVITE at good ilvl (rogue has something similiar for pvp talent, you can create a bottle of wine basically and give it to another player, maybe they could have a soul well lke thing they drop and its for pve?)
u have more than enough time to charge it feels like an internal cd of 8-10 seconds
just tank them like a man an whine less
maybe try reading that again
"you cant charge because they oneshot your dps if you go out to charge cro"
yes
am i daydreaming?
and what did i say?
i didnt even mention their charge
exactly that u can
brother
well what else would be the reason to kill your dps friends
