what's with people wanting to argue semantics lately
so no, i dont agree with you at all Miches
idk
d stance is a defensive cd, nothing more
even better one without a cd
brutal vitality nerf 😭
🤷
I would guess its a minor nerf as We’re still gonna generate enough rage to spam ignore pain
huh
there are some many things wrong with what you just said
first of all its a 50% nerf
from 30 to 15%
second of all, "spam ignore pain" hmm...
and lastly, i hope people understand how BV scales off from IP scaling
which comes from HP pools
additionally FbV was buffed
at some point health pools might scale BV out of control
maybe the nerf is too large but we will have to see, they obviously wanted to balance both options so there's not one thats way better than the other
i feel like
maybe
we've spent a bit too much time debating the value of one of our lowest impact talent choices
im more concerned about the "spam IP" part
still, that nerf is gonna come up a lot this weekend
its probably best to leave it short and simple like you said
it'll probably scare a few BDK rerollers away lmao
Maybe Piffz meant like we'll still generate enough rage to funnel into spenders in order to fuel ignore pain
But I don't know
Isn't all we spend rage on IP? I took revenge and execute of my bars...............

is there an addon to show damage taken and if its magic or physical?
Do we really not use revenge??
Uh oh
I believe details shows magic with different color not 100% sure
i mean scrolling damage taken i think it was called parrot back in legion not sure
Oh
not sure if parrot is still around
or MSBT for that matter
i havent used MSBT in a huge while
No, pwar deadge now 😦
like years
I use MSBT for that
It’s fairly easy to set up
hey guys i start today with the addon what profession is best for us?
whatever, crafting orders are a thing
any profession will be fine
anything crafted can just be obtained by those so it doesnt matter
so two crafting professions or does it not matter if you take mining?
you dont need 2 crafting professions
like i said, you dont need professions at all
it doesnt matter
you can have 2 gathering profs and still be fine
Im thinking the DPS ring. Not like we need more shield's lol
weapon might better
after shield
are those crafted with spark?
if so then yeah weapon after shield
after that then... its possible, the scholar loop looks interesting
if 2nd spark is really on s1 release then its possible that it might go to items such as the scholar's loop, provided their effects are good
lot of maybes honestly
Got yesterday blackdragon Hammer - think it will positivie influence craftikg gear with it
We will See
Guys
Do you think tanks doing good dmgs / great dmgs is a way to promote the role ? Like in OW2
because nobody play tanks
Played*
Keep getting this when I try and sim Scholar's Loop
sure
thats the whole point of why tanks are doing great dmg now
It’s like in OW2 now they do mass dmg and people love them while keeping dps the most popular
well besides having most mobs nuking dps instead of tanks and dungeons being more linear
yes they did, not specifically about dmg
Oh
but they did reveal they want more people playing tanks
and less responsability on them
Need to find the link or interview
its been in a few interviews
Nice
i cant recall the exact ones
it cant find the enchant if you read the output
It’s a general blizzard approach change
What are good slots to spend the sparks of ingenuity we get over the next few weeks? I can craft shields, 1H sword, and engi bracers/googles, would those be good choices?
ahh Okay. I missed that.
guys please use search
this has been answered a lot
shield 1st
even if you have a m0 shield
shield 1st
Sorry and thanks. Just to be sure, we're talking about any shield (like the one from shield spec in bs) or specifically the shield of hearth for the proc?
most of us will go for defender
doesnt it drop only from one rare according to the blacksmith page?
because hearth's recipe is giga expensive and its a world drop
and it is correct that you can add embellishments later with recrafting?
@lusty grotto You sound like a broken record. You're constantly repeating the same stuff every hour about spark = shield first. lol
hearth recipie on frosty oce is 18k
correct
it's 15k on my server
its 150k here
👌
yeah just saw it's fixed crit/mastery oof
my personal opinion is that its not worth
14k and dropping
rather missive crit haste into defender and go to town
Roger, thanks a lot
hehe about to level my evoker
turning in nefs head to see if i get the buff
no buff
for science
why not haste vers*
vers isnt really needed atm. crit give big number and big number good
i was haste crit last xpac
it's still haste > *
yea
vers is always going to be the choice if you're doing the content that would oneshot you if you didn't have vers
yup
either way you can recraft and change stats
but for mere mortals, crit is fun
so it really doesnt matter heh
Oh Nim, I have a question.
If you're changing stats on an item through recrafting, can it lower the quality?
Where do you Farm it ? Obsidian ?
isnt the defender better anyway because it doesnt use one "Embellished" slot?
obsidian what?
Shoutout to some guy on the AH for selling it to me at 3.5k
Obsidian citadel
technically yea since that means it can shoot up more on ilvl
yeah from Rahzor
Drop from this guy https://www.wowhead.com/npc=187598/rohzor-forgesmash#drops
it can if you procced through inspiration
so if youre changing stats, you better make sure you have the required stats to not drop the ilvl back down
there are consumes and shit, oils and stuff
food buffs for crafters
etc etc
anyway im out
time
well, i got a shield drop from my m0s
definitely dis-incentivized from crafting a shield now
i'm still holding until s1 drop
Gonna see if the loot lords say i'm stuck with 330 pants or something before crafting or anything
i also got a matrix today which is perfect so i can get a 380 weapon
rares?
uhh...
that'd be weird
pretty sure rares cap out
i'm 373 and i managed to drop some 379 and a 382 weapon from rares so yes
Yes they said once your ilvl reaches a certain threshold( I think 365) your world drops ilvl get upgraded to 380 from rares and weekly events but I can’t confirm. Most I’ve gotten is 372
kinda weird for blizzard to do that
@swift bay that was from rares not the weekly events correct?
it would make sense from weeklies and stuff
Elite Rare, not the normal rare
Got an worlddrop yesterday - 2h macr -.-
but yes not from the weekly
@swift bay thank you looks like I’ve got some hunting to do
got my 379 helm for example while farming for the blacksmith mace
interesting
the shockwave damage talents feel way better than dragon roar for continuous aoe to me
am i insane?
it's not garanteed that you drop higher tho, in fact i only have 3 items higher than 372
It's not better, but its not alot worse either
I guess roar will feel better when mobs live longer
helo, is there an error in mythic build loaded in wowhead? Impenetrable Wall is missing...
No he made that decision intentionally
but i can see it in icyveins build...
Because the average pwar will not use SW often enough to make use of the extra CDR of it
Different people different opinions
ohh ok, i thought was the same author
Nop
tnx!
Nothing else to do for me except farm cobalt ring
Nice.
rank 2 and I got an inspiration
Guys, is there anyway to remove actionbar 1?
here's mine without mats
The nerf to Brutal Vitality but a buff to Fueled by Violence. How does this actually weigh up?
Guys quick question, for the prot hidden artifact shield. Do i need to have the prot artifact to go to the cave ? Because i havent done the prot questline. Or i just go to the cave without it and w8 for the message to appear
You cannot get it anymore
whaaat i see people got it like a month ago
What what I heard, you needed to have or have unlocked it during the content. You can only get the additional recolours if you've already unlocked it.
Worth it, i guess
im certain ppl got it last month, i spoke to a lot of ppl who got it
you're talking about this artifact?
It's the mage tower you can't get anymore, you can still get the hidden one
this is the mage tower one juicy
Ahh yea.
eh, 1.5% vers proc with 60% uptime is worse than the raid bracers provided you maintain 4 within 30y
You don't need to have done the quest yet to see the shield, but you will need to have done it to use the item you loot to unlock the appearance. You can create an army of highmountain taurent warrior to go check the cave, and if the item is there you loot it and do the artefact quest on the character
I did it not a month ago, shield was up on the 4th trial tauren
no bro this is mage tower
ok ty , do i need to be in prot spec or something to see the item ?
Yes.
I recommend using a macro to check if it's up too
@strong forum does the nerf/buff to FbV and BV effect things much?
It just seems to me like a weight jiggle so that IP isnt the only thing doing healing.
Also, please be aware that to unlock the various tints for it, you need to do the requirements on the character that unlocked the appearance. (this is why I still checked for the item on my main after getting it on a trial tauren)
you can find some in the comments there : https://www.wowhead.com/item=139580/burning-plate-of-the-worldbreaker#comments
just enter the cave, use the macro to check, no need to fly down
no
Thought as much.
ty for the help man
but as i see the fixed that and the macro is not working anymore
Do you need another spark of ingenuity to upgrade your already crafted spark of ingenuity gear or how does that work?
It was working like 3 weeks ago, i doubt they nerfed it after years of it working like that
What do you use to upgrade spark of ingenuity gear after week 3?
Hi guys, they woke me up with the post about the warrior ahaha... having just woken up I really struggled to follow you, in short... is it a bad nerf? what changes to us?
Hey guys, do you think with the recent patch, we need to go back to Fueled by Violence instead of Brutal Vitaly (since we don't have tierset yet i think ?)
Is there a best profession ?
Hasnt changed anything
Doesnt change anything
thansk
Can you please explain why it is not that big of a deal?
cuz of the amount of IP we spam regardless
Im gonna say it probably to do with the amount of passive IP it provides when its capping very easily anyways witht eh amount of IP we spam
and if the BV Bug is fixed with this
its a massive ultra buff to IP instead
nah BV bug not fixed 😦
What's the issue with BV at the moment?
ahh okay
this a titan matrix craft?
We still rocks then?
Recrafting costs a fraction of the original AH mats and doesnt require any more of the soulbound mats. If you want to upgrade to raid equivalent ilvls you'll need to add in a crafting matrix during the recraft obviously.
Also takes some of the artisan's mettle to recraft though so there is that.
Damn
They nerfed it more rather than fixing it
People shouldn’t have said “it basically gives us 30% leech”
But revenge should be off the GCD like shield block and ignore pain
where can i find elite earth elementals? for earthen soul ?
if revenge is off gcd im going to make a big party and invite all of you
spark
they are extracted via an engi tool (afaik)
i have all this... but where do i find the elite;)
the tooltip on the soul also says that
thats a good question haha
ok i have one
Also, what’s the difference between tree star quality and 1 star quality enchants?
the power of them
Well, ended M0 runs at 359
enchant tooltips are fucked rn and aren't showing the differences in stats but higher tier enchants have higher numbers
When I checked on a random mob earlier for Aly, it was working, but I had to force check for an update on my client
Casted four IPs to make sure I capped, let myself get hit, and shield slam moved me from 79k to 80k+ on the absorb
Is it not working on your end?
oh whack
it's not working anymore
how did it end up at 389 tho?
better materials and better crafter
it can range from 382 all the way to 392
because of materials and how skilled the crafter is
guys , about the crafting item ? is there a best item to craft ? maybe like the main hand ? and when should i craft it ?
personally not crafting anything that requires a spark rn
Was adding to the active IP for me after capping out and falling below again and someone else said it worked for him also🤔
Same, but it's not working on my end at the bare minimum right now
i just cancelled my stacks of seeing red on my end
should've been smart enough to just use revenge
About 50% stats
is there an embellishment on crafted gear we like?
helmet
so none of these we want?
I think he's asking for which proc for any embellishments you add we'd want
Yeah that
ty
helmet doesnt sim at all 🙂
not legs
Also..remember tier pieces.
cuz helmet isnt implemented
good to know
Before crafting.
🤔
jk, I did consider them. but helm seems like a nobrainer. spikes im not sure tho
did they buff them? last time I tried they were very underwhelming
do about the same as helmet
what about frostfire legguards? thats a lot of haste. have you looked at them in multitarget?
uptime low?
ofc its fucking low
you only have it for 10seconds when you engage a pack
then its gone for the rest of the fight
craft order it
nah
my realm is to small im probably the only one who could actually do it
i considerd transing it over from kazzak actually
dont think its server specific
it is
cringe lol
Hey so with the nerfs/buffs to prot yesterday should we take fueled by violence now?
Hi guys, returning player here. Trying to choose which tank to pick up. I played Prot Warrior S3 in SL Necro with banner and all that good stuff... But felt repelled later on by how fast paced and buttons-heavy it was.
Is it still the same in DF or has it been toned down a bit ?
It's not quite as APM, but I'm pretty sure we're still the highest APM tank
Thanks for the insight
thats big
thats only 2star aswell
So the helmet and a shield with spikes would be the optimal crafts for week 1?
i crafted shield with spikes now
seems like the best plan
id hold off for the 2nd craft
does the quality of spikes matter for damage?
probably ye
actually i think its just the difficulty thingy
the higher the difficulty of your craft the lower the chance of it getting an ilvl upgrade
sent it
Where do we get the spikes from?
I'm still going to wait until week 1 to see if I need to patch gear slots or anything before crafting a shield
Embellishment material that other professions can make. I want to say those can be got from AH
@ionic fern hi ily
shield will be better than anything you get until m+ and it wont be early either
Thanks
and you can always recraft with matrix or those power stone things to keep it up
How are you on this fine weekend?
Doing okay, leveling my warrior 💪
yeah doesn't work now but did before I went to bed, da fuq......

crit tho?
yeah?
is that a thing
ye
always has been lol
but if you only ever get vers, it's worse than having some crit
I think crit's more damage on average at the cost of more survival?
depends if you're farming or pushing i guess
ill push with crit
classic. 'hey guys im at X% haste, do i do mastery or vers? i love all three secondaries'
can shield spikes only go on shield?
blessed thanks
guessing this has been asked already, but is there a chance we move from Brutal vitality to fueled by violence with the upcoming nerf/buff?
i'd always choose crit just because crits make me smile
gonna have a spiky ring
since BV is still bugged fbv will be better
what you guys think about the shield of the hearth ?
alright ty, I was unaware of a bug, is it already better?
Could you briefly explain how you made this? Ngl work orders confuse me with all the reagents and what not
go to craft orders, look which mats you need, buy mats, buy armor spikes, buy missive for the stats you want from AH
go back to craft order, slam all the reagtents in press order
done
Awesome ty, anyway to guarantee lvl386?
get 3star mats
@strong forum what your toughts on Shield of the hearth ?
wow
gems are kinda expensive right now. Got a helm with a socket, decided to take a look at possible gemming it
I have decided I'll keep the 3k, thanks
Hey guys! I try to recraft my shield, I put in the mats, click on recraft and nothing happens. Any ideas? update: it wasn't fully repaired, that's why
If i dont use unstoppable force (for whatever reason) and outburst comes out. Do i try to hold SS or TC for it when its like 3 seconds or praying for a proc or just send it in that scenario?
3k is like 5 world quests lol
how do you get that extra "equip" thing on there? I had mine made with crafting order, but think I missed that option?
what's better?
It’s called an embellish
thanks, gives me a google term 😉
😂😂😂
oh, i see, really
Yeah idk shit about crafting lol or else I’d explain it more. I think you can have 2 embellished pieces equipped at a time though
no worries, the name is more than enough, google/wowhead will do the rest!
What lvl keys were y’all doing in the beta? Im thinking anywhere from 10-15 keys will be doable week 1
good?
It's a shield
people were doing 20's at 392 ilvl so people will do 20's week one at least the top 0.1% will
for the average player 10's will be a thing week one
everyone on beta had full enchants, gems, tier sets and BIS gear though at 392 ilvl
For average player 5s*
will see how it is when you have to push up a key and have shitty optimized gear week 1
if you play 10h a day that week you will get gear fast though so will probably be past 400 ilvl
Like no way
Brutal vitality nerf, could this lead into fueled by violence insted?
oh i just now realised they put reprisal on shield charge
cool
man i am not read up on anything lol
Is there a bis crafted piece we should be aiming for ?
if you are not dropping IP due to damage intake in between rage dumping to IP then BV does nothing for you anyway
True
asking the same
I think my goal will be 15s week one
And go from there
They will be tough that’s for sure
Sooooooo prot warriors….. anyone else but me trying to be a bg nightmare 😂
Honestly healers will have the toughest time I think healing the dps
@modern spindle not really a nightmare just an annoying thing that interrupts and doesn’t die
Yeah these dungeons are definitely more work for healers then any other role
So far
Omfg week 1 is quaking plus thundering
so with the reset what's better now? Fueled by violence or brutal vit?
TR over Spear for DPS or just better overall?
no, it's a spark craft
Always has been
I meant like +
No its not
Okay whew
the 13th
I know for a fact that pushing rating for keys and doing the highest echelon of them that spear+ reduced shockwave will be significantly better for survival especially on fortified weeks than TR say what you want but from a defensive standpoint you don’t want to die in those high ass keys that build is your go to
Yes, ofc. Controlled stuns and bigger damage
I do want to test out the field by violence Biff with TR though but don’t think it will be a noticeable amount of more healing intake
Which are the best embellished items? Can't find info on it, sorry if I'm being oblivious
tbd
Hi fellas. I've a question. Don't know where to put it because is about gear, loot and doble spec. I'm a man of few characters, hate a lot to have alters. And i've a little problem this season. I'm the tank of my mithyc static group. And its possible, that i need to be DPS in my raid. I want to play both with warrior if its posible but i've doubts about HOW to manage the loot. The first week, push week, i'll try to get items with haste and versatility, or haste crit. But focusing haste. and as i see in wowhead guide, for fury, is mastery the first. So i don't know how to do to get equipment. Just to add; raid level will be casual, heroic mode as the highest prio (if we kill few mithy boses will be a surprise) my main objetive is my static mithyc group
You will get so much new gear when m+ and raids open so I wouldnt worry about stats at the moment. Just get the ilvl
Why though? Getting SW every avatar is also pretty good and you lose damage which means mobs stay alive longer?
I would not worry about stats if its heroic raiding mostly, gear for your main spec first. Also with m+ you will be getting gear for both specs anyway.
Is the Choker of Shielding worth it?
wrong channel
@grave crane what do you suggest? The vast majority of the highest keys fail because of survivability, not because of tank dps. If I can make my healer worry less about me it’s a win, the healer can dps more or keep the team alive better. A tanks dps is his last priority playing at that level
to be determined aparently
Immovable object and reduced shockwave and B battle scarred veteran after goings be more defensive but I doubt the keys fail because of survivability they probably fail more because of misplay.
spamming shockwave on cd is not the play if you wanna play for defensiveness, you wanna shockwave at the right times instead
It’s survivability, mobs last season on fortified week in +30 keys brutal… bosses on tyrannical week? Brutal… it comes to survivability at those levels
@grave crane
@open gazelle how high are we talking? I've never done much past the 16-17 range but will go to 20 for obvious reasons this expac
@spring holly I did up to +30 last season so yeah pretty freakin high
ah so I'm good lol
Spear and shockwave spam aren’t gonna improve your survivability, IO and BSV do
If you want to push rating and I mean really push rating your dps comes last in your priority list
also since it sounds like we got some experts here, in the next reset how's it looking with fueled by violence vs brutal vit?
@grave crane spear is basically your version of paladin bubble just step back two feet, shockwave spam is great at control, what are you even talking about at this point
Remind me what IO stands for
Ofc you pick up BSV too
not sure why you keep saying spear is great for survivability?
@mellow quartz throw it down at a pack take a step back congrats your immune to physical damage for 5 sec
.....
lmao
no one is going to kite
Spear is a root it’s not a bubble, you may as well say kiting is paladin bubble. Spamming shockwave is bad cause you give mobs diminishing returns. Kite. Immovable object
that is just...facepalm
imagine losing on rage generation and damage for 6 seconds of not getting melee hit, yikes

in most cases your group probably dies before you do
How do you not take reduced shockwave wtf is your argument
you dont wanna shockwave on CD
you wanna shockwave at the right casts/abilities
also you DR better CC
from your group members
My argument is that..
-Most other classes also have a Stun..
-There are other much more worthwhile points
I could maybe see in pugs reduced shockwave but honestly just fear em or something else.
Higher damage shit dies quicker is my argument
I got Utility.
I got SR, i got Shockwave, i got Fear, i got Storm Bolt.
🤷
I mean shit thunderlord will be more survability than spear and reduced shockwave
Cause it’s actual damage reduction uptime
Do you not like shockwaves for every pack you pull??
Reduced shockwave is being slept
you don't need shockwave for every pack
UF gets you more TC which is more rage which is then more demo shout with TL
You do in fing plus 30s Jesus Christ
I think you need some more sleep...
shockwave is useful at certain times to stop certain cast and abilities
t that point go for big shockwave too fuck it
oh you played many 30s in DF?
its nice to dr stuns with a 2 sec stun every pull
are all the prot builds still super spammy?
now I wanna know his character name to look at m+ score
Yes
I’d rather have a 6 second kidney on a prio target tbh
@mellow quartz which is why you want is up as much as possible
might switch to prot cus I can't get a single M+ invite lmao
my rogue would get annoyed when i use shockwave and made his kidneys worse lol
everyone gets annoyed
But it’s survivability
I mean he also wants to spear so he can step out of melee for 5s....
Ya nah sorry, pwar is the sturdiest tank, if you need to go an pick a talent purely because of a 6sec root to stop being melee'd
Then not a single tank in the game will be able to perform
if you took spear would not you also want to have the point for the crit buff making using it useless as a kiting tool anyway? lmao, talk about inneficient pathing
someone wanted a talent to not get melee'd as a tank?
Sorry new to pwarr, what does DR'ing mobs mean? I know DR as damage reduction but not sure if it's still the same in that context.
Diminishing returns
Stuns work less after each stun
You stun a mob, every subsequent stun is only 50% duration
Oooh that yeah gotcha, ty
After being stunned 3 times the mob is stun immune for 18 seconds
To make sure that other stuns aren't as effective!
And my healer has to do more healing
I don’t even use sb I just spear stuff and step back
Warrior bubble
I use shockwave more as a panic button when the healer is having trouble healing everyone than anything else
you sub to lemike?
Tanks aren't gonna be the one struggling
you sound exactly like him
wasnt he running both cap stones for roar?
I’m memeing in tuna
And I'm memeing lemike

so let me get this right
spear is great because it's a pseudo bubble against physical dmg
Did skyhold change to Fel Hammer or something?
isn't Pwar
can't die if you don't get hit
sure you were just trolling the whole time
ofc you were
I was trying to think of a stupid build and sounding witty and defensive about it
Knew I’d get a rise and it worked
I love this discord
Quick to react to it
hmm any tips for keeping up high dmg? feel kinda weak sometimes compared to otehr tanks, given its a guardian druid i was running with
UF?
Avatar clap boi spam talent
ah ok yea, so i ravager throw- avatar-charge-clap-demo shout-roar-shield charge?
this is for pure dmg
pre cast ravager, avatar, demo shout, shield charge, spam revenge, tc
I got called out
all that jazz
Intentionally trolling will get you muted (for starters). Keep that in mind and consider this a warning.
☝️
ill be too far away for demo shout tho no? :hmm
He got that backtracking down for when he throws spear
And you charge in and then demo so your abilities do more damage
@ionic fern good to know, I do appreciate the defensiveness and being outspoken about the correct and proper builds, it’s nice to have a class discord that actually cares
when would u roar? :hmm after demo?
or after shield charge
idk whats optimal cus i haven't even gotten to 70 lol i just know from SL
pre casting rav > charge + avatar > demo is probably a good thing to do
then idk
What’s the feeling on the inc nerf?
@blazing condor after is when you roar with demo still up
ok so roar after demo
Then imo I would SC to keep block up and spam tc and spend all rage on revenge and excess on ip that’s pretty much it
ravager-avatar+charge+shieldblock-demo-roar-SC then just TC and normal rotations
ok nice thanks for helping me figuring it out, i like clear cut what i should do in some places haha
So you place Ravager first and Demo before Roar? I saw in a yt video someone explained: Avatar -> Ravager -> TRoar -> Demo Shout
I’ve been under the impression that you can avatar before the first tick of ravager is dealt
I did test it too and that seems to be the case
Oh sweet, good to know.
I would opt for demo prior to roar so you can amp the Initial dmg as well as the bleed
Plus demo asap to help your rav too i believe
in my sim its like this:
charge+avatar->ravager->demo->roar->SC
this is the optimal demo shout dmg placement
Yeah I found it a little bit weird that Demo shout came so late, but I didn't know any better(until now)
now in reality in m+, you are more likely to send ravager before you charge
@strong forum no rav first?
not on paper
Why? Initial aggro?
Oh whoops, replied to wrong comment
Avatar and rav happen at the same time
Off the GCD
demo shout comes late because it only lasts 8 seconds - you’re trying to pile ur dots/ravages in demo windows
Oh I see cause Rav is on gcd but Avatar isn't.
Just read that Roar lasts 10sec and Ravager 11.1 so that makes sense 😂
So you’re charging in and popping avatar which is off the GCD to then follow with an immediate ravager - demo shout to start amping dmg and roar to follow up and it caught in the entire demo dmg window
thats the goal
has no real impact
cuz A) BV is still bugged
B) youre spamming IP a decent chunk anyway
this is only a nerf for ST, not for aoe dmg intake
maybe you can help me - i want to make the black dragon working hammer - but which inspiration is the best for it to use on it?
@strong forum FBV instead?
Yeah makes sense - I’m sure we will see more of an effect in higher keys as we start to deplete the IPs a lot quicker but 15% is prolly still in line with strong IP uptime
obv its a nerf and its there and stuff, but like, it doesnt change any of our choices or how tanky we've been so far
No way on FBV
its a needed nerf because being in ultra keys without bugged 30% BV woulda been beyond broken
I starting leveling my warrior and I notice shield slam something’s triggers IP. Does that man I should never cast IP on my own?
Revenge isn’t my rage dump?
both are
hey guys i did my m0 world tour and got ring from repuation , what else can i do?
but often times you cant dump fast enough with revenge
grind wrathion rep and rares
i still dont have professions tho
and generally just grind renown
Elemental chests - rares - bloody tokens
For player power
wrathion rep , what it gives?
What the point in exect blackdragon rep?
Hey chat, anything posted about the brutal vitality/ignore pain nerf ? nothing to worry about right ?
389 neck and 398 cloak
You can achieve it within next week?
you can achieve it in 1 day
you can achieve it now
@strong forum does it matter which one we should
if you go ultra hard
Key shit farming?
yes
wrathion
yes infinite keys
The other one doesn't give it???
Shit I crafter neck with matrix :/
it is just me or that proc from the cobalt rep ring is pretty good?
good or ultra broken max bis
Thanks for hint
who knows 🤷♂️
you need the mythic materials
ic
they only drop from 16+++ keys and mythic raid
you need 10 of those and 150 eternal chaos
to make one reagent
i am very curious if a 418 shield with embellisment will match a 421 normal shield, but that is probably a sim thing
you can get embellishments on any crafted item
why does it have to be shield
rn its just a decent slot because you dont have access to higher ilvl ones
do you wait until shild block buff is finished to shild charge?
No, they stack duration
so even if i just used SB i shld SC?
I just checked wowhead apparently they both give the neck and the cloak so can grind either one. The differences are like toys and crap
like keep SC on CD always
Does m+ open the coming week? Or is it another one with m0
13th/14th for m+ and raid
The nerf was pretty insignificant right
So to do list have m0 and heroic gear is farm wrathion and cobalt rep for ring and cloak? And also farm rares for potential drops? Missing anything else
Im struggling to find this YT content creator that was making in deep warrior tanking guides for EACH dungeon. Is he not streaming anymore?
In theory we should spend our first matrixes on low level gear slots that won’t be upgraded by future sparks crafts correct?
Anyone know how the Eng/BS crafted gear is looking for us? Meaning is the gear we will get from raiding/M+ just better assuming you compare them at similar item level?
From what I have seen there is some decent gear in there to get a head start, but mythic gear does seem to be a bit better,
This being the absorb shield?
Do the cobalt ring and wrathion cloak automatically come at 389 or does it scale with gear score?
389
Nice. I guess time to grind some rep today for both
Those are the only rep grinds that reward gear that high atm correct?
Yes
Excellent, thank you as always
You could also hit Maruuk rank 11 for 376 boots
You can technically farm valdrakken rep, but realistically those two are the only ones.
Dragonscale expedition is also farmable
what are best professions combo for prot warrior if i have a lot of gold ?
im not interested in farming profs
How do you farm dragonscale? Haven't seen any reliable spots yet
enchanting/alchemy? im lost
there is no power increase in profesions in df no ?
Engineering has CR
Alch has more phial duration
JC has unique gems (I think)
so alchemy is still gives longer flask durations as it was before right
so its really nice to have
Probably trell.
is my thunder clap sometimes refreshing ignore pain?
@wooden widget outburst
Made a gearing to do list hope this helps
Save weekly world events towards end of the week as the drops scale with ilvl
How much do I need to dumbbells# shoulder press in order to be a good tank?
@fading tide probably 80 pound dumbbells
Does the fuelled ny violence change mean much to us?
is it worth saving sparks ?
Maybe but most of us didn't
does it matter if i choose wrath or sab
what slot did you spend on?
nah
I went for a shield cause more block
tyvm
mind dming me a pic ? id like to see what it does
I think the other one people are doing is the engineering goggles
The shield with spikes just gives % chance to do some reflect damage on hit
no cosmetic change?
that would be cool if they did show, but i think it would be too much work
Yeah no cosmetic change
gotcha cause the tooltip doesnt say itll do dmg just adds spikes lol
there could also be shield "bumps" too where its like, it does warlock curse of tongues mixed with the paladin seal that stuns RNG
concussive type
The feast gives gear? Also wouldn't week 1 wrathion rep be insanely hard to get?
Its not as bad as one would think. We managed to get it tuesday night in my guild
if anybody knows why some mobs show with a yellow dragon and why there is also grey dragon mobs, cuz i know that they are different from rare mobs that are stars inside of a circle
i don't understand
Its a bad tooltip honestly but you can see what it does on that photo tho
Mind sharing your method?
yea i got it now thanks friend
Just 5 man squad in the 'basement' or whatever area where the spider is
If you kill fast enough they start almost instantly respawning
Just making endless keys?
darkmoon is tomorrow so theres the potential of more rep per key?
We did also manage to get around 6k or so rep from the signet bug where you could turn in 1 and get rep for 10
But stopped once we realised it and didnt want to risk getting banned
Didn't even hear of this bug
But yeah is there a gear drop from the tuskarr feast thing?
from the weekly quest by it yeah
They fixed it pretty fast, was fixed wednesday morning already
Does raid open next reset or week after?
13th/14th
ohh, noice
which is the best zandalari buff as prot?
I just get stressed reading about all the methods, bugs and glitchese I always miss every expo haha
The bans don't mean anything those guys who got to 400+ item level exploiting got a 3 day ban and I've hesrd nothing about roll backs
3 days is nothing when theres not much to be doing anyway
3 days is alot
not if they get to keep the items
Alts exist
Not when they already have multiple 400+ items
You couldn’t catch up to that in 3 days so they netted a profit on the ban lol
they'll be turbo behind on renown
What happens in 3 days that they missed out on?
Its only m0 and wrathion dailies todo right? I dont have todo all the other shit, renown etc?
3 days of no dirt digging
That helps with 1 rep
3days of touching grass in exchange for a bunch of ilvl 400, weapons included?
3 days of no hunts
ez option to me lmao
Plus again, they have multiple 400+ items that hunts/dirt wont give
3 days of no key farm
key farm 🤮
I don't even know what hunts are but did hear its only like 363 gear or somethin crap
Is that right?
How long does a decent key farm take to get the 389 pieces
centaur rep
its plains thing you join and kill, kinda like the wild hunt in SL WQ.
Is the reward worth it ?
depends on who you ask
Cause if it is only 363 gear im out 😂
no idea, haven't done it. I got warrior up, did m0 and now i'm leveling my paladin.
did they fix the cobalt rings for non-spell casters yet?
Im asking as someone who only cares about gear progression and killing bosses 😂
That's wrathion, no?
Oh fuck
So i gotta do hunts then? They daily or weekly?
active all the time
What do i Google to learn about tjem 😂
LOL
new QRD
Hello. Is prot warrior the best tank for M+ right now? I'm out from wow since start of S4 lol
I accidentally tanked a heroic in battle stance with 340 gear and never went under 80% health, it's pretty good
I'm asking just because I'll start to level right now and in doubt between prot and feral lol
and i tanked all of m0s at 320 in bstance
because u dont need to be in d stance
You won't need d-stance for a while
yea i've not needed it at all. Even in M0
Even on some major gigachad pulls haha
What’s my squat need to be at in order to start tanking mythic zeros?
be level 70
Trying to get big like Garrosh
need to deadlift minimum 250kg
First time I use it. I got 2230 Crit, 12 second.
Vers 1660 for 6 seconds.
Seems to offer stats based on different timers.
i squat 300kg every time i drop food on the floor and pick it up
huh
Gotta eat big to get big
amen
Do you like dragons roar over buffing shockwave?
yes
DR such low dmg, the dot is even underwhelming :/
no
You do realise it buffs REND?!
"ALL Bleed"\
also using Shockwave as a DPS cooldown is really really bad
I know how to read but my shockwave goes from nil dmg to top 6 dmging abilities and usable farm more often with the 2 points raken from DR
Sonic boom is fine for m0 please change to TR for m+ week
Reasoning?
More dps while retaining shockwave as a CC tool
Bleed dam, shockwave should be used for interrupts, don’t match it up with dps cds that’s dumb
its more damage overall regardless
Cobalt Assembly ring pretty balanced YEP
I'm not sure what you're saying that I'm not
btw is the dps ring from cobalt bugged on prot war too?
we cant proc it
k
we have no spells
why go for the shield one?
true
Because the DPS one isn't functioning
it is fixed
ya its absolutely busted
I have one in my bags, I'll test
works fine for my DH buddy but idk what of theres is considerd "spells"
It works fine
ye
here
confirmed
disgusting
it's strong
My test was on a turnip
how many procs?
havent gotten around to get the ring yet, but i guess ill get the dps ring on my DH
will get nerfed anyway then
Hope they compensate with higher secondaries
prolly the heal one troo
unique equip
unique
Anyone worried about the nerfs to brutal vitality?
not at all
Tested on some Djaradin mooks:
It was a short test, just confirming that the ring procs on non target dummies
hi peeps, i picked up a 372 Primal Ritual Shell, hows it being rated vs other trnkets? cant seem to find much on it and dont have many replacements for it atm...
what gear are we crafting this week?
i crafted shield
nothing
I'm curious if we have any top contenders for our spark of ingenuity (obviously not using it this week)
Really impossible to evaluate these items without knowing their proc rates
any idea if forgestorm proc is worth any ilvls?
how do you guys feel about these talents (lvl 69.5 atm, 1 more to go probably in 15 more rage)
Every day I become more convinced that yogi is a high-level troll
Crafting messages with precision
Save it
See where you are with gear when raids open
check pins for good talent trees
I appreciate and share the sentiment; hence why I noted (obviously not using it this week). My question is if we know any of these unique embellishment procs that are standing above the rest
Icy veins and wowhead guides are the same?
check the pins for all the builds guys
He is just drunk all the time
well, your welcome to believe im a troll if you want i guess
It's okay man, I appreciate the craft
i remember being told a wide variety of advice sites "are bad, or wrong"
so, who to trust really?
Hows the Alacritous Alchemist Stone? thinking about possibly crafting it...
