i misremembered when we last talked about so i went back and checked
its multiplicative
but i never played ""tryhard"" i did my first mithyc dungeon in shadowlands lmao xD
so i never studied the class indeed
like i'm doing now
So i just learned today that wowhead doesnt show the block value on shields.

its 2x the armor
weird
block value on shield is literally always 2x the armor on the shield
yeah i just didnt know it wasnt in wowhead
unless that changed for DF*
tyranny
real lore...
I forgot K value :^)
Bunch of boomers here
cus im not in that server
Block / (Block + K)
π
do we know the new k value?
Level 70 M0/M+: 12824.94 (ExpectedStatModID: 216; ArmorConstMod: 1.09)
Vault of the Incarnates LFR: 13083.792 (ExpectedStatModID: 212; ArmorConstMod: 1.112)
Vault of the Incarnates Normal: 14025.072 (ExpectedStatModID: 213; ArmorConstMod: 1.192)
Vault of the Incarnates Heroic: 15084.012 (ExpectedStatModID: 214; ArmorConstMod: 1.282)
Vault of the Incarnates Mythic: 16284.144 (ExpectedStatModID: 215; ArmorConstMod: 1.384)```
You had that too fast
sorry
Itβs ok
Im still yet to understand what the k value is cause people always try to explain it in some weird way instead of just telling me the math of it
delete it and post it again in 6 minutes plz
its just the number that keeps passive mit from being stupid
keeping tank DR in check so they're not unkillable after a new patch
Yep exactly like this
u don't rly need to know what they are and shit
y = kx + m --> k = (y-m)/x
all it means is
you take more physical dmg in mythic raid than anywhere else
and it prevents from tanks becoming close to immune to physical dmg throughout an expansion
Little cuestion; i know that "BiS" is a relative concept but, i usually like to configure my BiS addon to track items. There is some guide about DF bises?
best thing you can do is ilvl defensively
and use raidbots for damage
main stat is really most that matters
ilvl>haste>versa?
ye
I was off - a ~420ish ilvl shield will give around 42% DR on its own
in a mythic raid
I know we don't have breakpoints like we used to but 30% haste is my target for feels good.. then looking for vers/crit
more in m+
idk what relative ilvl that is but sounds good
424 is max
around 30-35% is the feel good haste levels

a 389 shield is already 50% DR in m+ btw
^ The greater point of "please use shield block :^)" stands yeah
is that actually achievable this early? i feel like in SL at least you didn't hit that until like season 3, maybe top end season 2
a normal raid ilvl shield will already give you critblock cap in mythic raid
lol
after the gem nerfs on beta, not so sure anymore
when in SL, you didnt even reach critblock cap with a mythic ilvl shield btw
π
Does the diminishing returns on stats come before or after talents?
talents are % so nothing DRs from that
it's based on rating from gear
%gains arent subject to DRs
ok, that's what I thought, probably didn't word my question right.
you did, but it needs to be specified regardless
Excuse me but can anyone explain what DR means ?
diminishing return
the more you get of stat X the less gain you get from stat X on a per point basis
it can also mean Damage reduction depending on context
yeah, I typed it out so as not to confuse it with the damage reduction we were talking about as well π
Depending on context then, got it π
the game doesnt tell you this, but when you reach 30% of a stat (from stats) any subsequent gain of that stat is reduced by 10%
to put it into SL terms
I get overwhelmed by all the acronyms and initialism. I needs me a cheat sheet
if you have 990 haste, any haste gained from 990->1320 is reduced by 10%, for every 10 haste youd equip youd in reality only get 9 haste
at 1320 -> 1650 its reduced by 20%, so for every 10 haste you equip its only 8 you gain
It's like tax brackets...
Thanks for the explanation Nomeratur, very cool from you to give such insights
in DF those numbers will obv rise as you need more haste to get 1%
This also aplly to stuns. The more u stun a mob, the less time it stays stunned
I have a note card that I use. I'm mostly caught up, but thank you π
That's why AOE stuns can sometimes do more harm than good
stuns follow a different rule where every subsequent stun reduces the stun effect by 50% for 18 seconds
with the 3rd one making the target stun immune for 18seconds
How much of the quest line do I have to do? Id prefer to dungeon spam as much as possible
you have to do the full campaign once
until level 60 you can dungeon spam, but for level 70 you need to do the campaign once fully
Pain
it's like 6-10 hours and then you never need to do it again (until the next patch)
10 are u joking?
if it takes someone 10 hour ill be suprised from what ive been told
I'm just excited to find out who's master plan the jailers master plan was apart of
More people will take 10+ than Sub 8.
I like to take things slow, explore the world around me.
6-10 is the range ive heard all over.
I also run around and collect all the mining nodes along the way, my wife does the same with the plant nodes
Your bubble living mindset is so annoying sometimes Jake
10 is prob all cutscenes, wondering etc
A majority of the playerbase will take 10+
ye
literally everyone ive spoken to who has tested not to rush just to test lvling
Okay?
have told me it took them 6ish hours
okay?
my info might be a bit dated. ik there was reoginizing of xp early in beta, havent heard much sincde
Took Growl 8 hours last night and he was using a leveling guide.
People level at different paces
I mean the only people who will care how long the campaign will take are the people thay are trying to rip the bandaid off in the first place
ye screw lvling. least fav part of games most of the time. (beyond 1st time)
Just like every other expansion before this one, there will be large variances in leveling speed.
pretty sure growl was also ultra slacking
cuz like
even without a guide it took me 3hrs to 67
Ok?
he was also testing out like 5 different guides lol
the point being. who cares how long it takes
go at your pace
pmuch
if you wanna zoom, zoom and you'll be done in 4-6
Do people really have that hard of a time conceptualising there's more than just the 1%?
m0s don't open til weekly reset anyway
if you wanna see everything, take the whole damn 2 weeks if you want
I bet I can make leveling last 2 years if I tried
i also read the quests and don't skip the cutscenes the first time around π
Also there's a huge difference in time to 70 and time to campaign completion
Yeah, it's not huge.
I will head down run through the campaign as fast as possible
And figure out what to do from there if I'm not 70
And from 67.5 to 70 I'll be allowed to enjoy the game
there are lots of bonus objectives and easy access side quests along the way
Just do dragonriding to 70, 
any chance of dungeons being good exp
slower than questing
Not the way I quest.
unlucky...
do we know if any of the dungeons are required as part of the campaign? i forget if they were in SL but i vaguely remember you could just skip them and move to the next zone
Not required
Eh, im just back to help my friend with some M+ and play the story so it's chill.
gotcha
i've done 2 leveling runs first was 7h second was a 5.5h slightly optimised
8-10h will be the norm most likely
generally the campaign led up to dungeons and there was a non-progression quest related to the dungeon
you don't need top touch dungeons to progress the campaign
Iβm gonna fly around get all the glyphs as soon as possible
i literally parsed this as "7 handed" for a second and i was like "oh hell yeah arms stonks rising"
A friend doing a leveling test on beta with no skip cutscene and read quest and it take him around 8h to lvl 70
octopus race required
and they still get a sheild pogpogpog
If I had 8 hands I could possibly play brewmaster as it was intended to be played
if you dont do side quests you lose out on rep you will have to go back and get later
you need rep to level professions afaik
there are only some recipes on renown
anyway, no real content is available since the first reset, next week, so the leveling will be more chill than before
you can only get recipes up to 50 from the vendor right?
so have to get it from other sources to get to 100
yes but you don;t need to go furious on renown
sure, but you don't need to go furious on xp either π
fair enough
do you rather wanna do side quests and get xp and rep or just get xp and go back and do those side quests and only get rep π€·ββοΈ
don't need to go furious on anything, I'm also not even close to being in the world first race π
I would rather not do the side quest, not get rep, not do professions
i mean my route has 2.5 levels of side quests anyway
especially in azure span
I just want alchemy for phial duration and engi
besides that not going to interact with it much
I want engi bracers with battle res tinker slot and I want that failure detection pylon for keys
I've never really been big on eng for m+, is there an easy way to spot corpses since the brez is melee range?
u use the player frame
rgr
sounds like bracers might be a bit of a slog given that the recipes are discoverable through making goggles/guns...will have to see how low the chance is
My stance on engie brez has always been if you're in a pull where the tank can stop everything to channel a brez for you
you shouldnt have died
'shouldn't have died' won't save the key
yea im kinda curious about other tinker contenders too. I'll be alch/eng so might not need invis or brez considering paly has it now too
healer might have died to a burst moment but then afterwards everything is fine and you can brez if needed
healer not being prepared for a burst is a healer problem
its ur problem after they die
π€·ββοΈ
pugging is a constant game of compensating for the pug affix
Huh. Making new weakauras for DF; our current stances are not, in fact, stances as the game thinks of the term. They are just buff auras.
that wont cause any confusion down the line :^)
I tend to run with a warlock, I only use my brez if the lock dies for some reason, otherwise it's their job π
alternative tinkers would be a 60 yard dash or flame cone aoe, not sure if either would work in m+
the dps option i imagine wouldnt be worth the global
cone fire dmg over a 6 second period. ... unless its off gcd
usually they're off gcd and count as a potion
idk how new alchemy professions works though
this sounds like it could be pretty insane for mobility
considering the fact that anyone can equip eng wrists with one tinker slot... pretty much anyone can have invis or brez with a base fail rate
just to clarify because there are different definitions of next week, the first reset is tomorrow in case this was read or meant as 8 days from now lol
same timeline as SL launch
depends on your region but 'this week' indeed π
true true
basically they didn't want to make people feel they needed to grind out to 70 tonight or they would "miss out".
right
I assume it is the same, right?
m0 opens with the first weekly reset, whenever that may be for you
Mighta missed it. Did anyone put together a list of stuff we can spell reflect for the new dungeons
was changed after the rage nerfs iirc
i guess ill just swap Pain and Gain to Barbaric Training
so its not worth anymore?
Is there an ideal leveling spec set out? Canβt imagine needing some of defensive options in the mythic plus trees in the pins if your geared.
correct, it scuffs your rotation
how so?
makes rev cost too much
once we get to a point where we're flooded with rage again, it'll be more worth, but right now it can make it so you end up with empty globals just from not getting enough rage, especially in low target counts
you no longer have banner which did 25% of your rage gen
empty globals sounds nice tho
less carpal tunnel
less SS procs
exactly
when we had to constantly spend rage to prevent overcapping it was a no brainer, but not so much right now π
well in M+ we have a lot of rage with Bloodsurge no?
not enough
it got nerfed and doesnt proc as often as it used to
ah riperino
Barbaric Training should somehow make Revenge proc more SS
or Strategist should be based on rage spent like the talent in Arms
gonna be popping my toxic phials and potions all day
who with me
the toxic crit phial gives like 7% crit
LOL
so badass
had abt 14.3 rage/s in this AA and 12.5 rage/s in this smbg
with 30'ish % haste
adjusted for time in combat
I hope those are competitive after the -50% penalty you earn comes into play. Haven't really looked into them much but it sounds like a nice concept
with the 50% thing I think it will be fine
ignore pain absorbs a lot of it
i tested it too absiorbs work
but it cannot be dispelled
or anything
its 25% of ur health over 15 sec, 3 sec ticks
they nerfed it from 100% of ur health
what do they share cd with?
thats the phial
ahh
it is really, really strong
and the toxic health pot is really really strong too
its like 65% if ur max hp potion
its actually insane
sounds fun
and the toxic defense phial is strong too
6% less dam taken over 50% health, 3% more taken below 50% health
nice
(that 3% includes the 50% decayolgy, but tooltips and crap do nto show it)
which is annoyng
Are we gonna use any of these?
Gotcha
Not sure that is more dps in a key vs glacial fury
m+ opens december 14 in EU, correct?
What is like to lose? To feel so desperate to be right, yet to fail nonetheless.
ye
It is frightening, turn your legs to jelly.
To ask you to what end? Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same.
And now it is here, or should I say. I am.
(snap) deletes all Shadowlands. -Happy ending Thanos.
It was just a bad dream
Sadly it will be quickly referenced in the DF story but nothing important
glacial fury got nerfed pretty hard
Id rather have 6-7% crit than glacial fury
the toxic downsides are not that bad tbh
upsides def outweigh them
N'zoth is playing with our minds.
Are we becoming insane? Jailer? Good Sylvanas? What kind of dream is that?
morals are subjective
Exactly, I wouldnt be suprised if someone woke us.
If shadowlands never happens it means Arthas is still around >.>
Woke us like johnny silverhand.
-Wake the fuck up samurai, we have a boss to defeat.
Dont give blizzard ideas. I am glad they didnt milk arthas.
At least, I am greatful about that
dont really understand the hate on the jailer, i mean free will is an illusion anyways so why not make it up to that dude xd
Adrenalin voting like its germany -33
I liked Shadowlands overall, even if I thought 9.1 was cringe and the Zovaal/Sylvanas stuff was awful
I did not like the way they dismissed him imho. But I understand not wanting to milk him.
They should have made him hotter
I had a lot of fun running keys with friends and thats what its all about in the end for me, I lost track of the story sometime in cata
I am going to listen some Victoria 3 lofi music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkbyzbKkrxc&t=618s

ZUG ZUG
people disliked the jailer because of the free will situation or not?
ending arthas's involvement in the franchise going forward is fine. It's the way they did it. Danuser simping for Sylvanas and having him tell us, through her, that we should "forget Arthas" is fucking cringe.
Because it is a lame villain
Telling us to forget Arthas right before Wrath Classic came out is a hilariously bad joke, the right hand and the left hand not talking at all
Arthas >>> anything Danuser shit out of his ass
T_T
Metzen Lore > Afrasabi Lore >>> Danuser lore. Too bad Afrasabi had to be such a creep
i mean did you really prefer jesus thrall?
Thrall just feels like he is slowly losing his will to live lmao
yes. I don't know why this makes MMO-only players mad, but Thrall is pretty much the main character of Warcraft
Hey, I know Sonic Boom is supposed to do less DMG, but I'm running SIMs of all kinds and it always pushes ahead of Thunderous Roar. Are SIMs still flaky?
Puf.... I expect some bad ass villain to be honest. Some corporation out of lose that tries to store psycho into chips.
Oops wrong franchise
still did 9% of my DPS in AA
Metzen got bored of him, and the newer writers don't know what to do with him. At least he's back to being a Shaman though.
The whole "he's so sad he lost his powers" thing was cringe
so when this expansion is deathwing 2.0 with galakrond you like it or not?
Iridrikron is fine to me. It's a way to do galakrond without having to do time travel and also to deal with the sheer scale by making the cannibal dragon son smaller
It's like how Suramar was basically a stand-in for doing War of the Ancients without having to do time travel
OMFG, dont mention suramar. I am crying out of nostalgia
hmmm 9% is pretty good... thought it was nerfed to be much lower than that..
in that case ya.. def does seem better
Legion was basically a big fan service expansion to the War of the Ancient books with Blackrook Hold, Huln Highmountain, and so forth. Time travel without doing time travel. I expect DF to do the same. I expect us to get a modern-day Rise of the Aspects storyline without having to do time travel
At least he didn't get turned into a trinket
I expect this expansion to be basic bitch warcraft stuff and I'm totally here for it
RIP saurfang. That said, if they respect his death, then maybe they can bring some tension back to the franchise. I hate that danuser is bringing back Yzzy.
I'm gonna be salty about saurfang for a very long time. He is the horde warrior avatar
phase 1: primalists, galakrond becomes awakanable, patch 2 deathwing reincarnation, patch 3 galakrond timetravel
patch 4 - WoD 2.0
If the black dragons are choosing a new leader I don't expect our lord and savior neltharion to return
Patch 5: Demons strike again. Illidan becomes the new Sargeras. We have to fight the new Burning Legion
deathwing reincarnation could just be furorion
patch 6: warglaive pierces azeroth and new azerite pours out
and then some filler patch for the dragon faction i missed
like malygos reincarnation
patch 7: No, no new jailer this time. We learned from our mistakes.
Its what wow needs tbh and I'm ready for it
gave up majority power to banish/defeat deathwing.
Guys, I am in a big dilemma. Play Victoria 3 until expa comes live or Baldur's Gate 3?
ye but why are they strong again
Just watch the little 3 part series theyβre like 6 minutes each
No joke that sounds hype to me. If df doesnβt end with both the end of time travel and the merging of the major canon timeline d into our own I will consider it throwing
Bring AU Draenor over as itβs own planet and not in a different timeline
that will happen in a light turns evil expansion
btw do you think they will use burned teldrassil already? would make sense for an elemental expansion i guess
hopefully a big golf course
Yes.
Either they recharged or the dragon isles will serve as the conduit to empower them again
Lol when I first came back and was in the first zone of draenor(wod) leveling, I was sitting there thinking wow everything looks so cool I can't wait to get to blades edge mountains not realizing I was standing on top of it lmao. I'm really mad I missed WOD
wod really had a cool design
but we started in SMV
oh w8
im dumb
ignore
just the design, they clearly told their artists make everything as badass as possible
After that part
Who are you?
yes
Yeah, @ everyone just auto perma mutes because its just bots doing it - I've unmuted you
now ban both accounts for mute evasion π
HES BACK
ban for mute evasion that i ask casually and politely for and am given acceptance on it
BAN HIM FOR EVASION
...
I mean it literally is ban evasion, if the mods want to act on it they can. You coulda DMed one of them directly lol
it was a joke brother
@ everyone is basically a war crime so the mute is warranted I think
yup, that's right folks, i'm still here!
can't get rid of me
π€£
Hi Guys, Is there an ideal leveling spec set out? Canβt imagine needing some of defensive options in the mythic plus trees in the pins if your geared.
I lvl as prot personally and yeah choose dps talents
well use second wind that's really nice to have
Yah Iβll prob use second wind also
then go the avatar thunderclap combo and clap away
Did you find out how long was it?
If not try again just so we know for sure how long it is
What profs did yall decide on for DF?
herb alch
just sticking with inscription, interested to see if they do anything with it
im dropping eng this time
first aid
inscription is the literal only wrong answer
literacy is a -10% dps
Yeah I'm between herb alc and mining BS
what if my character does inscription but doesn't know how to read the words they write
theyd be me 
thoughts on leveling with warmode on (for the exp bonus)? are we fairly unkillable in open world?
Unkilable , maybe, but once u get on wrong shard there will be 5+ vs1 on you every time, which will bring you down. And even if u dont die it can slow you rapidly. But if u land on good shard its worth it
i'd only do it if you'd actually enjoy getting into fights, it's less about dying and more like... is this fun or a really annoying distraction
warmodes great until you're not allowed to exist
Idk a 280 evoker one tapped me in a duel
Iβm gonna be in wm but I personally enjoy wm
I was thinking about blacksmithing but ionno
Gonna go alch eng myself the utility from eng seems good and alch benefits seems good too
Yeah I actually strongly considering jc also
But I also only play a main Iβm not an alt guy
So tough choice
Does anyone know if the move is getting max dragon riding right out the gate?
i got blessed, my main was engi alch and the main alt i wanted to play engi jewel
or just passively get it until 70 then finish it off?
Yah I plan to get all the glyphs when I get dragon riding
Nice thatβs a good duo
get 10 glyphs, cruise to 70, get the rest
the first few talents are big important
Yah thatβs actually not bad idea
but it doesn't matter cuz you got 2 weeks until m+, raid, and rated.
imguessing they didnt add any new glyphs?
but i really hope they make professions account-wide one day, if alch engi isnt the best anymore i would really be screwed because i cant unlearn all the old stuff
account wide would be a bit much. If anything just make non base recipes perm learned
They could also increase possible proffesions to like 8 instead of 2. What does it matter if i do all work on one toon or on 4 different , its still same time invested
i agree with this take as a more practical way of them justifying more profession options
Good point of view.
account wide would be nice though, or at the very least, account wide everything that you've learned so you dont have to relearn old shit on every new character
meh the professions are lack luster as it is without adding more filler profs
does engineering + mining ever make sense?
Hey, has anyone done any testing on the trinkets?
so you dont use ore to make the engineering components ever?
prob better go mining and Bs or mining and jc tbh
imo at least
like if you really wanted to go mining
nah I'd want engineering for sure..
right now I'm engi/alch for the wormhole and longer flasks
i mean i guess, but can always buy it too
the utility is just too good
yeah it is
I happen to be a gnome, so it's thematic π
hell yeah gnomish engineering ftw
mining is a total trap on war imo, its one of the worst classes to gather
ok WM off it is
man i've never optimized around professions, just which of these seems fun and like it fits the character
you should take the one for your favorite content
lol! probably.. back in classic I pvp'd with this character as arms, was fun..
alchimy will just help you save so much money
the utility for eng is probably less than previously considering everyone can get one tinker on wrists and wrists wont conflict with tier set
same, and I've ignored professions in SL, just took engi so press the button in DoS and have a wormhole + AH.. but I figure it's been rrevamped so maybe I can put a little effort into it starting today.
unless the base failure rate is really bad
maybe I'll do Eng+Mining then drop mining for alch at 70
i also just try and do something that the rest of the guild isn't doing since it's more fun to like, interact with people than just AH everything
kinda sucks that the alch and eng tables you can place down are consumables rather than reusable
Any modem recommendations for an Xfinity user?
pins
I donβt understand
We got any levelling protection talent builds?
There's not a lot of flex points from a normal build, just take dps + mobility over defense
I might mess around with shockwave capstones for the burst, since I'm never gonna do that at 70
stormbolt or int shout can be rather useful though for interacting with objects while being hit by a random mob
thx I like that build better than mine titanic throw seems good for leveling
ya
61 get SC
62 2nd wildstrikes
63 get Battering ram or bulwarks champion
64 swap from wildstrikes and get shockwave + sonic boom
65 get Battering ram/bulwarks champion/booming voice
66 swap from shockwave + sonic boom to thunderous roar + thunderous words
67 idk dance of death/thunderlords/booming voice
68 uproar
69 dance of death/thunderlords/booming voice
titanic throw is good and bad, if you wanna quickly pull 4 packs together its bad due to the CD but if you just wanna hit a lot in 1 pack its good
honestly leveling is so easy and quick... just randomize the talent tree
I will just W towards yellow marker until number next to character says 70
does anyone have a weakaura set up for prot i could yoink? π
if you mean a WA package i have one on wago ye
kind of wish talent build swapping was instant all the time
at start of an arena or something feels so good
yeah thats the kinda thing im lookin for
which one is yours?
wonderful thank you! basically exactly what i needed
second wind is a type of talent that i would go out of my way to pick it up every time leveling if it was in each spec
As prot do you really need it though
its like if you are rolling tank and there is talent that gives you 10% more hp, ur guna use that every time
Even mass pulling hella mobs between ip and leech alongside VR/IV
yah i dont see myself being out of combat for mroe than 5 sec when killing stuff
you have infinite rage leveling as tank, shouldn't even need to press vic rush lol
Prob not but it is the absolute most you would need
Beta mobs hit like absolute pillows anyway
I miss the heal while in stealth talent for rogue leveling, there's a second wind style talent that was actually useful
gotcha, thx
bloodborne/nails/SoF are all worth more and every other point below 3rd gate is limited
is ravager over shield charge possible or is that just bad
we take both i thought?
what happened to you, you were the guy who liked shield charge before it was cool
we take both
both are big money
needs the gcd I think
unpopular opinion: off GCD abilities have really low satisfaction
No gcd if used in charge range? (Shield charge)
like CDs and buffs etc? ofc, those are fine
but hard hitting damage abilities are really weird off GCD
well, they should. giga strong abilities need to be on the gcd
Yeah I mean it is probably justified but it just felt so good off the gcd lol
shield block would feel real bad on the gcd
hard hitting damage ability Shield Block
part of why I don't like the feel of prot paladin is that SotR feels like such a weak piss button to press
I don't like the aspect of having to use a tool on a dumb dps that could literally save myself from a tankbuster
Ppal being the saviors of dps and then not having BoP or other abilities to save themselves bugs the shit out of me
it was for a brief moment during BFA beta
truly cursed moment
idk how anyone could've ever thought that that was a good idea
or the first iteration of bolster
12sec buff that increased your armor for 10%
cost 10 rage and on the GCD
yea....
i think there are a big group in blizzard that doesnt know what armor does
most devs dont know much about the game other than the part they work on directly its just how dev work works
unless its their job to know more
well
i would imagine the people who make the abilities
know about game balance
and how the math works at least
i dont expect the artist of yugioh know how to play the game
but i expect the people who make the cards do
especially in beta it's pretty common to just throw something in that "sounds right" to test the idea
it was bad
they canned it
Aren't yugioh cards characteristically always broken
yugioh cards called "World-Ending Magma Destroyer Of Infinite Fates Unbound" are basically unplayable
yugioh cards called "Funny Doctor" break the game and have to be banned
NGL thatβs why I like Hearthstone. It takes big chad energy to be like βyeah, the Lich King is pretty cool so we are just going to print a broken card you play in every deck because the Lich King shouldnβt be a weak cardβ
the old gods was best expansion and the game fell off hard after that
I just vomited in someone's purse thinking of the original bolster, thanks for that
glad to be of help
now HS has the same problem as retail wow in bfa SL, too much shit
Old Gods were pretty tight.
Bolster v1 "when you thought we couldn't get any more lazy, here's iron fur, but it has a shield"
NβZoth Control felt awesome one of the earliest 10 drops actually worth it.
i didn't like the limited to X per screene
The flavor of Cβthun was S-tier living in fear of your coming death driving you insane
And then he comes and your heart explodes
its not the worst, but it doesn't fit hearthstone when you have a card that is like, summon the top guy from ur deck and 3 1/1's
and then u summon 1 guy at best
If we ever see more old gods in WoW I hope Blizzard doesnβt just lean on βpurple + eyeballβ too much like they have lately when portraying them
Hearthstone highlighted there are more flavors than just that
the old god fights never quite live up to the fantasy
uh oh n'zoth is gonna break my brain in two!!! wait who is this guy Psychus. why am I taking him for a walk
Nzoth mind control you to walk his dog
yogg was prrrrrrobably the best one? besides all the obvious older jank
Yogg fight was pretty good in that regard
Also purple + mouth!
We need a purple + nose Old God
It's the same issue my old DND gm ran into when he tried to make us fight a colossal ancient red dragon
Just too many options,
they could make some old god stranger things reference with the creature and the large beast thing
shame they don't hurry up with that one already (s5)
Still haven't been able to make it through the first episode
Strangest thing is these nuts on your chin
Sounds horrible, will continue to keep away
PSA for my NA peeps: storm ele is currently up in Un'Goro
is there a proffesion that will benifit us the most, seems like engi has the good ones
engi/alc probably, as always
gottem lol
have professions been out on beta and if so are they adding dragon shit to archaeology
I'd love to find some dragon shit
its literally an ancient island thats suddenly re-emerging
No new archeology? Fail expansion
why make it a profession if you're only gonna give a shit about it for 2 xpacs
boo
boo blizzard boo
I mean
Wherever we stable our dtagonriding mounts will be the best spot
They literally did an interview recently where they said they would have made inscription and archaeology expansion-only features if they had the current team back then
seems like thats what they think honestly
so makes sense
but then again its not really hard to add archaeology stuff
just give us a mount and some toys
maybe a cool tmog
it can't be much work
Ion said arch. was coming at some point just not 10.0
just add some digsites
I think specifically he said work was being done on it but nothing to announce right now?
there's still a lot of content in archaeology from cata
like the original arch
but its bad design to rely on more than a decade old content
and yes i am unreasonably irritated at blizzards lack of love for archaeology
Tbh the rng inherent in arch is irritating
I think I did it during... WoD maybe? Not sure. You just play marco polo or whatever and then you get some currency or something. I don't really get the appeal
true
Leaper was the bis
Also I opened my bank for the first time in 2 expansion
And saw the wall of legion lego
When did they make it so you could destroy lego
anyone have a good macro that puts up into battle stance when in defensive and vice versa
You guys planning to level as protection?
yes
check the pin
Anywhere have a prot levelling tree?
i think like 9.1 or 9.1.5
Well good for them
Would probably still hold the legos for timewalking
I have so much space for DF junk now
As nice as it'd be to destroy
If timewalking was challenging atall
I'll still tank using warglaive in mh
For legion
Erm tbc
I still have sephuz and stride
I'm not sure which tank to focus on in the next expansion... Guardian or protwar?
Depends. Do you like furries or plate armor
You're at a Chevy dealership and ask if you should buy a Chevy or Toyota
Pick accordingly
hype it up boys
According to my PFP, why not both
you guys going to be levelling as prot?
Yup
Yes
Is there like mandatory story completion that we absolutely have to complete in DF or are you free to level however you choose
Okay sweet! We got any info on how long that is? Can i reasonably get through it in one sitting?
5 hours or less if you don't read
Nah I ain't reading shit i plan to mine as i go tho
i step away for 2 whole minutes to do my job and @strong forum stops streaming SMH
Spent 100hours on the msq, ask my friend who is FFXIV obsessed when I get to the mmo part of the game, and he linked the msq chains...all 600 hours of them
Level as prot or fury if you are going to play solo?
Prot for all the big pulls
The answer is always prot
prot, easier to pull big
Did fury catch some massive buffs in the last week?
either way, take 2nd wind
Prot it is then
Ima chill for 1.5-2hrs then go hard
nej
Because iirc prot was out DPSing fury in st and ae
they've been spoon feeding arms buffs
that's cap
Arms wasn't doing so hot either
Someone has to push the execute button. May as well be arms
I still think I wanna focus on arms as a secondary can't keep up with all the mashing in fury π
the clear issue with arms is there's no great middle ground for dps. you're either aoe or st, make a hybrid build and your bad at both
Good timing
Arms isn't exactly lower apm
Agreed but I'll deal with it before i deal with rsi
And prot is way past either
Prot feels really low apm to me, am i doing it wrong?
Probably
^^
likely
Not hitting IP enough
Ignore pain stays up for ages
We're one of the few specs that regularly slap an off gcd
are you wasting rage?
Like IP is about cycle of rage
Im probably just doing it wrong then π i only levelled a warrior like a couple days ago
ITF vs Heavy Repercussions? What's the consensus?
HR
If itf can maintain 100% full stack
Otherwise hr
ITF might be worth at later haste values but HR is strong single target and we need to pick a few SB uptime talents anyway
Alright cool
Hr feelycrafts better
Happy leveling ! Gl gf !
do you lvl with prot talent tree?
is there any other warrior spec?!
exactly π
π
Arms and fury being c-tier is a sacrifice i am willing to make to let prot be good
no queue yet, gonna nap for an hour and come back to 5 hours or smt stupid xD
Sounds about right
sleep is a crutch
i know but this hour will make the world of difference in terms of motivation for putting in those extra hours
fair point. thankfully launch is prime time for me, just after my normal dinner time π
And really, how many people can no life? its a regular work/school day at 00.00
I had 8 days of PTO to burn or lose going into December this year
wait, you can lose your overtime?
PTO, not overtime.
In my country, it goes into the next year π
in sweden, you get 28 days minimum but if you work goverment, you get like 1 week per every 5 years or smt. Some old folks have 8 weeks
PTO rolling over is not a legal right in the US. Most companies do it up to a certain number of days, but not all
Auld is right; most companies allow for 1 year worth of PTO to roll over max
I get 20 days of vacation on top of the company holidays (10 of those) and next year I get 5 more days, but none of it carries over, unless you live in specific states.
At worst, they can force you to take that time as cash/salary, but you can never lose it
You can
in US you definitely can
It's horrible here, it just means that December is a dead month for getting anything done because EVERYBODY does the same thing
Iβm literally working at a job who will do it right now (on midnight 12/31)
you need more unions
Yes... yes we do.
name a more iconic duo than us and poor labor laws

Yeah we have unlimited PTO once you hit a certain level in our company
In swedish governtment jobs you can also trade your bonus vacation pay for extra paid vacation days, ive had 7 weeks paid vacation this year
If i had unlimited PTO... I wouldn't use any PTO
Like it sucks; the policy is "take as many days as you want if your work is not going to be affected" - like wtf? :D
the upside of poor labor laws is making double the salary for the same job title
yeah, taking time off is going to affect my work, period.
This tbh
US and Poor Health Care. US and Poor Labor Laws... uhhh
u mean the POTENTIAL to
most white collar jobs even at an entry level, you are making double post tax
tech, finance, etc
I wouldnt trade my union rights for more pay, f outta here with that
blue collar is different tho
What is the cost of living in say, silicon valley compared to the salary?
My favorite is "Record Profits... but we laid off about 500 people this quarter"
thats how they made the profit lmao
100%
do you have a special talent tree for leveling?
it has its ups and downs, in sweden, its almost impossible to fire someone.
No, this is an economic advice channel
level up by joining a labor union π
ahh dratnos raid tank list is on wowhead
though my experience with UK finance salaries is usually Word of mouth
uh oh
oh boy
Yall are getting blue shelled
its not like anyone hasn't decided on a main with 1h 30min left for expac launch though π
if anyone seriously have anxiety over what to play you can rest on the fact that raids/m+ doesnt open until dec 13/14
but but but i was playing prot before it was cool
Yeah honestly I haven't for example. Two weeks of m0 to test classes out myself (no beta) and only on 13/14th one really has to decide.
prot is going to be my main, but I want to kick the tires on Guardian and BDK, just not sure which I'll do second. I've mentally parked on brew due to all the keybinds
π ±οΈear in π ±οΈ-tier
Prot's in P tier for Perfect

his argument just seems to be the raid buff will come from other sources and then bear doesnt bring anything special to the raid team
but what about that crazy healing per rage spent?
its a solid argument
but putting bear in B just because pwar brings rally is ?
Bear is the highest or 2nd highest ST dmg tank
Guys? Are you ready?
30% ahead VDH ST dmg
1hr20min*
Oh, isnt it on 12 cest?
11 gmt
whatever timezone youre in, its in 1h20min
CET
so i think its 1 cet
Damn, hype was there!
Is someone here who could help me out with a "ignore pain" Weakaura? I got that the desaturated icon always showing while in Combat but I'd like to get the Icon only shown as I got the IP buff. THanks a lot π
try the one linked in the pins
did they fix the brutal vitality bug yet?
Not afaik
Thanks mate, that's the one I have - just have to get rid of the desaturated Icon while in combat and only showing the icon while I got the buff. Tried different things but cant get it to work with Custom commands in it
its bugged? does that mean I should use FbV more
Ah okay, check conditions and triggers
That's about as far as I can make suggestions as I don't show the icon at all
I only display text
Does Tough as Nails have an icd?
@toxic pewter its still good but it stops adding absorb once you reach the cap and it wont add again until the buff drops and you reapply it
500ms from what we know
... my god...
Got it, was set to "show always" in triggers, thanks bud π
theyre really pumping out the tier lists.. i wonder if they will do m+ lists on wowhead frontpage
Has been bugged for over 2 weeks
way more than 2 weeks tbh
I've got a "list" of known bugs in the pins
But that list only contains BV for now
So uh ye
Ah right and bsv
I'm a leaf... but I've been here before, then left while I took a wow b reak, and now I'm back with all the same silly questions
importance of our bugs right now are BV > rend spreading 'smartness' > BSV
that BV bug seems bad ya
It is but itβs been bad for a month on beta and we are βfineβ
BV?
banger
Brutal Vitality
shouldn't you though?
no
"mobs that ravager helped kill"
if you never send out ravager, you still get the buff
ravager didnt help you kill anything
oh you meant even without ravager
So you get dance of death buff without even killing anythingwith ravager?
yes
lol intersting
i 1shot a critter with auto attack and got the buff
war machine works like that too btw
intersting
so like can ravager theoretically last a long ass time if you kill a ton of mobs within 2 seconds of eachother... or am I misunderstanding how it even works
dance of death doesnt stack
Someone asked me to make 'em one but I have to assume it already exists - Anyone have a WeakAura or reco on something that highlights what you reflected? Bonus if it can announce Spell Reflect
War machine is supposed to work that way though, since it doesn't require anything other than being a mob you hit, correct?
ive noticed war machine def works that way I will get procs in BGs and stuff and im not even involved with a kill
He helped with moral support T_T
did bear get any additional tuning that I missed after the 50% aura buff? not that I care about tier lists but i was surprised to see them at B
the dps list has an "SS" tier haha
wowhead dogwhistling smh
hunters getting shafted lol
all ranged specs are 'meh'
you will just need an evoker healer for lust if you go 3 melee though π
Have fun with quaking.
Is there any real corridor dungeons?
most of my casual guild keys were all melee lmao
an evoker healer would also prefer 3 melee dps haha
That will be a problem with quaking?
temple has tight areas, only dungeon
@ocean finch Shadowmoon is very linear but i dont know if it fits your qualification for "corridor"
shadowmoons tunnels are wide enough that quaking shouldn't be much of an issue
Generally speaking melees are not as valuable as ranged because they have limited position.
generally speaking melee are better in keys than ranged cause of kicks and stops
good idea to point out if your argument is for keys or raid in these types of discussions
can't do no dps if you get blasted by an errant cast
multiple melee do all need to not be stupid and respect each others' positioning but they do have a lot of freedom of movement around the enemies
when melee learn they don't need to be directly inside the enemy's ass to hit them, it gets easier
we were talking about dungeons, assumed he was talking abt dungeons lol
INCOMING
I meant it as in "it was good of you to make it clear"
the fotm rerollers
would be shocked if he didn't put them there
i can smell them from here
Is that some germany reference ??
yeah I am sure thats what wowhead was going for
the ones i talk about should be febreeze'd and shunned
What else ??
the others should be treated like normal people
No, they play warlock
... my god...
also, did he say that BDK does less damage than Prot War at a glance in that wowhead post?
is there a WA like the overlay in Dota2 that gives you a quick breakdown of physical vs magical damage taken?
yah those def exist
Omfg. To be fair, the only weirdos I met, they usually play warlocks or shadow /discipline priests.
is prot warrior hard to get into? been a brm main for a few years but their squishness is a turn off now wondering if prot warrior is gonna be difficult to get into if i never played it before
Prot warrior is easier to get into now than it has been in the past @eternal marsh
But it is still punishing if you make mistakes
i felt confy
more confy that playing DKB
lets all keep Dratnos tier list track record in mind π
how is their damage compared to other tanks? i feel like it changes every day and dont know how it is today haha
Lol. It is the most boring channel. I wont discuss what they argue in Beast mastery channel on Trueshot lodge.
I enjoy this discord (well, this channel anyway) so much that I hang out here even when I don't play pwar.
BRM has always been a pumper one of the reasons i loved them
I have heard rumors that they sent furry photos. Yikes.
Same, should be fun 
the backfire when people expect you to +20 on day one though xD
Feel like most people doing 20s in* s4 will be happy to times 10-13s first week , me included xd
from what I hear it wont be pancaked tanks holding back the group like in s1 SL but rather dps dying to partywide damage or bossmechanics
Amazing!
Will see, i didnt play beta to not spoiler myself , and i got in very late anyway, but it would defo be nice feeling to not be the one that has all the guilt
Is there a limit first season week with how high key you can do for end of dungeon loot and vault loot?
Yah itβs looking like more βdefensiveβ dps are going to perhaps be wanted more
Vs some flimsy specs
Ww monk has like 6 defensives now or some crap
First week of season there are no limits, all raids are open, no vault cap , feel free to go for 20s
Is there a valor cap anyone know
2 weeks
Wait so its not next reset we can do m+?
m+ happens when raid opens
dec 13/14 US/EU
2 weeks
Oh lol, thought M+ was 1 week from launch.. π¦ Guess time to lvl my alt is totally fine with time
yes
And week 2 is a good alt week too kek
Well, good luck to everyone who is gona play at launch.
is there a lvling build somewhere
