And so we know the proc chance/rate?

Just did a dungeon - Shield of the Hearth buff had 60% uptime. So, decent proc. It is only craftable via Blacksmithing and can be upgraded the usual ways through BS (which I don't think is possible yet until Primal Infusions are available)

# surreal mesa any good guides for setting up WA and UI in general for tanking

there are a lot of personal preferences but in general everbody (that is good) uses the common layout where you have both you and the target frame in the middle of the screen, abilities on bottom edge of screen and just build your weakauras around the place youll find them the most attractive - a guide can be found on youtube, just dont use some random dudes advices

#

I mean for a given random pull in a dungeon, I'm popping avatar/ravager/roar/demo when I land from a leap, then probably shockwaving to stun

yeah you can do that

youll want the ravager and roar to benefit from avatar and demoshout dmg + a racial if youve got one

If caster has their casting synced, you spell reflect several casts? That's a bug right? Tooltip says first only?

warm plinth
#

If they hit simultaneously, it will reflect more than one

acoustic grotto

#

No it's not a bug.

stiff gate

been that way forever

warm plinth
#

It's always been like that

mortal brook
#

Server ticks aren't choosy

tender cove
#

Tooltip explicitly says "reflecting the first spell cast on you"

warm plinth
#

Yes, we're aware of what it says. And 99% of the time it's true.

tender cove
#

happens very frequently

warm plinth
#

But if spells hit simultaneously, there's not really a first one is there

stiff gate
#

game server tick rate is very low, if spells hit in the same server tick they all get reflected

tender cove

I'm not really sure what you're looking for here

Will it make you happy if I just say it's a bug

#

Happy? Not really but it would make you right, if thats what you wanna be.

tender cove

Because i didnt and you wanted to argue semantics?

warm plinth
#

you didn't ask?

strong forum
tender cove
# warm plinth you didn't ask?

Yeh, i'm asking because maybe they just didnt update the tooltip and I have a vague memory of us having a version where it reflected all casts for the duration. And then you started saying its working as intended, which its clearly not.

warm plinth
#

strong forum
#

In legion you had a specific artifact trait which allowed you to reflect all spells for 5 Seconds

#

In pvp for arms and fury spell reflect worked for 3 full seconds in bfa iirc

tender cove
strong forum
#

With its first introduction in tbc, spell reflect worked like it does now. Reflect as many spells as go off at the same time

tender cove
#

Should give us the OP version back :p

strong forum
#

Like, most mob casts line up

#

If both casts are 1.5sec and both start at the same time, you'll reflect both

tender cove
# strong forum But both go off at the same time?

I've noticed they don't have be exactly. It seems to be a good 0.5sec acceptance. Anyhow, i never intended this to be a huge thing. I was just curious if it was supposed to reflect all or not and then here we are xD

strong forum
#

If its 0.5sec diff, you're not reflecting both

tender cove
#

travel time

strong forum
#

Even with 0.1 you're not reflecting both

#

Travel time doesn't matter

#

It matters when the cast was finished

#

Not when the cast Animation landed on you

tender cove
#

I literally just watched it happen when i wrote it. Their casts were not synced.

#

Your WA still recorded 2 reflects

strong forum
warm plinth
#

All that matters is when the damage of the spell hits. The animation, the travel time, none of that matters. If the spells do damage at the same time, it will reflect both.

strong forum
#

The only time where travel time does anything is with instant casts mixed with casted casts

#

A mage can for example hardcast a frostbolt at you, and before it lands it could send a frostlance, and you'd reflect the frostlance but frostbolt would go unreflected

#

It's not worth worrying about in pve

tender cove
strong forum
#

Your best bet is to just hold reflect until the very cast you want to reflect is 0.1sec from finishing

#

To prevent sniping something else

tender cove
strong forum
#

Also important to note, if you press reflect after the casted spell got sent and is flying due to travel time, you won't reflect it

#

Reflect has to be up before the cast had been finished

There is a point to demoshout before roar to increase the damage of TR's bleed ?

Absolutely

@strong forum is there a point where bolster becomes better than shield charge reprisal defensively?

strong forum
noble lynx
#

But i guess last stand is not that sick of a cd for war

strong forum
#

Reprisal grants you extra 20 rage and damage, whereas Bolster grants you 30% hp every 2 minutes
You'll have to use LS on CD to barely keep up SB rotationally meaning you have to pop it even when the 30% buff isn't gonna be all that useful

#

And yeah LS is just really underwhelming

#

You get safer SB uptime with Bulwark

warm plinth
#

No see, it's an oh shit button Nome. You pull, you almost die because you don't know what Shield Block is, you press Last Stand, you get healed for 30% and you have shield block up for 15 seconds and then you die when the shield block falls. 😏

noble lynx
#

I guess its good in early season to learn dungeons

#

But then drop it once you know wtf youre doing

#

Good as in less brain allocated

# radiant magnet where that horn is on the map, there should be a group of NPCs hanging out befor...

Nah, there are 2 timers for the event. When the supply cart has moved up already and the ‘forward base’ has been build you are probably to late if you haven’t been there from the start as the boss has probably been killed already. The timer on the map however stays in place until it runs out and only after that fact will you see the Horn move back out and a new 1h timer starts. The 2nd timer is the ‘real’ timer for when the event starts from the beginning. Then tooltip of the horn is just badly written for when the assault is underway.

neon elk
mellow quartz
#

Look at the timer and wait for it to run down. Then afterwards a new timer pops up and counts down from 1h. The new timer is when the event starts again.

#

It’s 1h after the current event timer runs out.

#

Timer you see by hovering the mouse over the horn.

Should you never use shield charge unless the target has demo shout on them first?

the way champions bulwark reads is as if its a good opener option to charge, but it does a metric fuck ton of damage so im thinking demo shout with booming voice would be better first, or shortly after

I didnt enter taz until october of this year

and i was actively playing when it was new content

#

in general im a fan of mega dungeons

mellow quartz

Mega dungeons are usually to spice things up towards the end of an expac so who knows what they are thinking now with the rotating dungeons per season.

#

The mega dungeon itself doesn’t really have a place before it gets split to m+

minor helm
#

I mean it did in season 2 shadowlands cause the neck was busted

#

So was tickling sack

S3 is probably just ‘best of the first 2 seasons, 2 old dungeons brought back and a mega dungeon split to 2

but the q comes up a lot as tanks die instantly open their death recap and say "huh thats a lot"

rose cobalt
#

Literally me yesterday wondering how I took a 200k hit

mellow quartz
#

The whole point of the tank hit and debuff is for the healer to dispel you so you do not die to subsequent casts.

#

The physical damage part of the hit stays the same and the nature part is what will 1 shot you at high enough stacks if it’s not dispelled.

#

2-3 stacks started to be lethal on +15-17s on beta without using defensives.

If the aoe is big enough to carry your rage gen with TC and bloodsurge spam then just TC and revenge

Also i wouldnt concern yourself overly with memorizing a set pattern of cd usage

stack CDs whe possible, generate and spend rage without overcapping

wat i did was , shieldcharge-avatar-ravager-roar-demo but i gues thats wrong

I would argue playing the fundementals of the class correctly would have a higher impact than optimizing a global or two in a 2-5 minute fight

You could also go into battle stance for CDs

I find a lot of packs I wanna jump in first to get the mobs to move towards me before using any abilities. Where as if you just charge in or aggro from range with ravager they will stand still and refuse to move later.

ITF is more damage in aoe. You just need a lot of haste to keep SB up 100% of the time.

And the hardest sections of keys are bosses

You'll never have 5 stacks on bosses with a normal comp

personally not gonna be going pure optimized big pulls AOE build until after a few weeks - early keys are more likely bricked by bosses when everyone's learning the dungeons in my experience

And also won't have 100% sb uptime on them

So you're creating a weakness for yourself

Just because you want a bit of aoe dmg

hardy ridge
#

Yeah, those are good points, ig it depends how much more dps ITF gives you

mellow quartz

Not like it matters a lot now given trivial damage intakes

You're also losing 3-4% dmg overall because you don't have nails

Dunno if 30% haste is reachable anymore with how omega nerfed gems are now

On the 4 dummies ITF was quite a bit more dps even after subtracting nails

strong forum
strong forum
mellow quartz

I am definitely not playing ITF when keys come out until I get giga haste values

Same

mellow quartz
#

If you are fine with SB gabs you can run ITF but for most people the 100% guaranteed SB uptime is more valuable than marginally more aoe dps, which is probably just padding damage anyway.

i was playing ITF cus its the default on wowhead :despair

You can play without talents these 2 weeks 🤷‍♂️

narrow fern
strong forum
#

Both builds are fine

#

Both have upsides and downsides

#

I prefer to have ultra SB uptime without wasting a thought and just go ham

Itf has higher highs, and lower lows

HR + nails is consistently good

mellow quartz
#

Especially if you are new to pwar go for the ‘safer’ option of HR over ITF.

I have 8% haste right now and SB uptime sucks even with HR lol

or you can take sonic boom for fun if you're just doing open world stuff

Great combo I just realized

Also, I came up with a weird idea for a build

mellow quartz
spring holly
#

is tc during avatar supposed to be tc-ability-tc or tc-ability-ability-tc. The CD suggests tc-ability-tc. But for some reason when I do it I have not quite a full gcd after going tc-ability but what feels like half a gcd?

#

feels kind of awkward to wait half a gcd

mighty valley
#

to me it's definitely every other gcd

mellow quartz
#

Depends on haste tbh

urban portal
#

shouldnt depend on haste

#

your gcd and cd goes down at the same rate

loud patrol
urban portal
#

it should hypothetically be 0

#

under perfect conditions

spring holly
#

@loud patrol half a gcd is maybe a bit much to say but still to me it's at 1/4 maybe? Enough that I feel awkward

urban portal
#

obviously theres ping lag

mellow quartz
urban portal
#

try spell queue weirdness

#

your gcd is 1.5, your cd is 3

#

if you have 100% haste your gcd is 0.75

#

your cd is 1.5

#

its still every other global

mellow quartz
#

Does the cd on TC get reduced the same amount as your gcd relatively?

urban portal
#

yes

spring holly
#

yeah actually I'm an idiot when I try it in a mroe controlled setting it's clearly every other global

#

I think it's just spell queue weirdness/ui not reflecting the cd speed properly/ping

urban portal
#

under 100% haste the parity is always the same

#

it only gets weird over 100%

urban portal
#

so when it says 6 seconds, it means 4gcds ALWAYS

#

or 3 second being 2 gcds

spring holly
#

that being said I was just in combat again and I had this issue again, where I go tc-> ability-> and then...tc isn't quite off cd yet. Don't know why that happens in combat and not just standing around. Weird

mellow quartz
#

Have the same issues at low haste which is why I doubted what @urban portal was saying.

novel temple
round delta
#

Tc, ability, tc

spring holly
#

I have a trinket which can randomly grant secondary stats, I wonder if it's granting haste inbetween casts and that's causing the tc cd and gcd to go out of sync

I'll try to understand, think that i'm not a native english speaker so maybe i'm the dumb xD

modern brook
#

Consider a multi target scenario where all targets do the same DPS to you

#

Applying 3% DR to 5 targets would be ~15% DR.

Applying 5 stacks of 3% DR to 1 target would be 15% DR

#

you would be reducing the same

#

Consider the same multi target scenario, but now one target does significantly more DPS than the other targets

round delta
#

It is possible to have 5 stacks?

modern brook
#

applying 15% DR to that one target would provide more raw damage reduction than spreading the stacks out

modern brook
round delta
#

Ok ok

modern brook
#

the concept is whats important

round delta
#

So maybe i need to study a bit the mithyc dungeon pulls

modern brook
#

Damage reduction and "tankiness" is notoroiously difficult to compute

#

and its why we dont bother simming it

#

the take away here is "shield slam priority target for rage and profit"

and let punish be a nice add-on to that
