Yes, if you have appropriate gear goes without saying...

lusty grotto
#

in fact it could be undergeared if anything

#

its a HIGH key level

warm plinth
#

what's with people wanting to argue semantics lately

lusty grotto
#

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

potent gulch
#

brutal vitality nerf 😭

lusty grotto
#

🤷

vague viper
#

I would guess its a minor nerf as We’re still gonna generate enough rage to spam ignore pain

lusty grotto
#

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

mighty valley
#

i feel like

#

maybe

#

we've spent a bit too much time debating the value of one of our lowest impact talent choices

lusty grotto
#

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

oblique drift
#

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

lusty grotto
#

perhaps, but he didnt explain himself either

#

can go either way

dense verge
#

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?

#

thats it thank you

#

are there profiles for it on wago?

lusty grotto
#

hell no

#

MSBT is old as hell

It’s fairly easy to set up

remote dawn
#

hey guys i start today with the addon what profession is best for us?

lusty grotto
#

whatever, crafting orders are a thing

#

any profession will be fine

#

anything crafted can just be obtained by those so it doesnt matter

remote dawn
#

so two crafting professions or does it not matter if you take mining?

lusty grotto
#

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

neon fossil
#

Im thinking the DPS ring. Not like we need more shield's lol

lusty grotto
#

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

#

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*

neon fossil
#

Keep getting this when I try and sim Scholar's Loop

lusty grotto
#

sure

neon fossil
lusty grotto
#

thats the whole point of why tanks are doing great dmg now

zenith vale
#

It’s like in OW2 now they do mass dmg and people love them while keeping dps the most popular

lusty grotto
#

well besides having most mobs nuking dps instead of tanks and dungeons being more linear

zenith vale
#

Did they admit it nimchip ?

#

This Philosophy change

lusty grotto
#

yes they did, not specifically about dmg

zenith vale
#

Oh

lusty grotto
#

but they did reveal they want more people playing tanks

#

and less responsability on them

zenith vale
#

Need to find the link or interview

lusty grotto
#

its been in a few interviews

zenith vale
#

Nice

lusty grotto
#

i cant recall the exact ones

zenith vale
#

Yeah so I’m sure our higher dmg profile come from it

#

Like OW2

lusty grotto
zenith vale
#

It’s a general blizzard approach change

tropic sundial
#

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?

neon fossil
lusty grotto
#

guys please use search

#

this has been answered a lot

#

shield 1st

#

even if you have a m0 shield

#

shield 1st

tropic sundial
#

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?

lusty grotto
#

most of us will go for defender

swift bay
lusty grotto
#

because hearth's recipe is giga expensive and its a world drop

hazy thicket
#

and it is correct that you can add embellishments later with recrafting?

neon fossil
#

@lusty grotto You sound like a broken record. You're constantly repeating the same stuff every hour about spark = shield first. lol

sand pebble
#

hearth recipie on frosty oce is 18k

tropic sundial
#

it's 15k on my server

lusty grotto
#

its 150k here

hazy thicket
lusty grotto
#

also hearth stats are absolute ass

#

and you cant missive it

tropic sundial
#

yeah just saw it's fixed crit/mastery oof

sand pebble
lusty grotto
#

my personal opinion is that its not worth

sand pebble
#

14k and dropping

lusty grotto
#

rather missive crit haste into defender and go to town

tropic sundial
#

Roger, thanks a lot

lusty grotto
#

or just stay with as haste versa

sand pebble
#

hehe about to level my evoker

#

turning in nefs head to see if i get the buff

#

no buff

lusty grotto
#

for science

sand pebble
#

level 50's got it

#

no 60's got it might stop at 59

neon fossil
lusty grotto
#

cause its not haste

#

also im not on vers team

#

either is fine honestly

sand pebble
#

vers isnt really needed atm. crit give big number and big number good

lusty grotto
#

but my plan is haste crit

#

the stats are great as they are

neon fossil
#

i was haste crit last xpac

mighty valley
#

it's still haste > *

lusty grotto
#

yea

mighty valley
#

vers is always going to be the choice if you're doing the content that would oneshot you if you didn't have vers

neon fossil
lusty grotto
#

either way you can recraft and change stats

mighty valley
#

but for mere mortals, crit is fun

lusty grotto
#

so it really doesnt matter heh

neon fossil
#

Oh Nim, I have a question.

#

If you're changing stats on an item through recrafting, can it lower the quality?

long stone
swift bay
#

isnt the defender better anyway because it doesnt use one "Embellished" slot?

lusty grotto
uncut notch

#

Obsidian citadel

lusty grotto
lusty grotto
tropic sundial
lusty grotto
#

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

#

bedge time

pallid quiver

well, i got a shield drop from my m0s

definitely dis-incentivized from crafting a shield now

lusty grotto
#

i have an m0 shield too

#

still crafting it when i finish with my Chaos

pallid quiver

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

open gazelle
#

Can anyone confirm rates dropping 380 gear out in the world? Im 370 ilvl

#

Rares *

lusty grotto
#

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

swift bay
open gazelle
#

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

lusty grotto
#

kinda weird for blizzard to do that

open gazelle
#

@swift bay that was from rares not the weekly events correct?

lusty grotto
#

it would make sense from weeklies and stuff

swift bay
#

Elite Rare, not the normal rare

long stone
swift bay
#

but yes not from the weekly

I recommend using a macro to check if it's up too

neon fossil
#

@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.

tropic sundial
#

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)

cedar lintel

just enter the cave, use the macro to check, no need to fly down

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?

acoustic grotto
#

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 ?)

cedar lintel

Is there a best profession ?

acoustic grotto
#

heavy temple
strong forum
#

cuz of the amount of IP we spam regardless

neon fossil
#

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

strong forum
#

and if the BV Bug is fixed with this

#

its a massive ultra buff to IP instead

#

nah BV bug not fixed 😦

neon fossil
#

What's the issue with BV at the moment?

#

if you cap out ignore pain

#

BV stops working until IP falls of again

Also takes some of the artisan's mettle to recraft though so there is that.

They nerfed it more rather than fixing it

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

#

@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

reef haven
grave crane
#

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

open gazelle
#

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

open gazelle
#

@spring holly I did up to +30 last season so yeah pretty freakin high

spring holly
#

ah so I'm good lol

grave crane
#

Spear and shockwave spam aren’t gonna improve your survivability, IO and BSV do

open gazelle
#

If you want to push rating and I mean really push rating your dps comes last in your priority list

spring holly
#

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?

open gazelle
#

@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

mellow quartz
#

not sure why you keep saying spear is great for survivability?

in most cases your group probably dies before you do

open gazelle
#

How do you not take reduced shockwave wtf is your argument

mellow quartz
#

you dont wanna shockwave on CD

#

you wanna shockwave at the right casts/abilities

#

also you DR better CC

#

from your group members

ionic fern
#

My argument is that..
-Most other classes also have a Stun..
-There are other much more worthwhile points

open gazelle
#

Y’all just taking extra bleed dam just do dam? Come on now

#

Utility is everything

grave crane
#

I could maybe see in pugs reduced shockwave but honestly just fear em or something else.

#

Higher damage shit dies quicker is my argument

ionic fern
#

🤷

reef haven
#

bleed damage with rend is big

#

why would not you take it

grave crane
#

I mean shit thunderlord will be more survability than spear and reduced shockwave

#

Cause it’s actual damage reduction uptime

open gazelle
#

Do you not like shockwaves for every pack you pull??

#

Reduced shockwave is being slept

reef haven
#

you don't need shockwave for every pack

mellow quartz
#

UF gets you more TC which is more rage which is then more demo shout with TL

open gazelle

You do in fing plus 30s Jesus Christ

shockwave is useful at certain times to stop certain cast and abilities

No one is stopping you from playing Rumbling Earth tho.

Need to perma DR mobs cuz I can't live without a 2sec aoe stun twice a pack 😦

But it’s survivability

I mean he also wants to spear so he can step out of melee for 5s....

Kiting is bubble

Everything is bubble

strong forum

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.

strong forum
#

Diminishing returns

grave crane
#

Stuns work less after each stun

strong forum
#

You stun a mob, every subsequent stun is only 50% duration

dawn marsh
#

Oooh that yeah gotcha, ty

strong forum
#

After being stunned 3 times the mob is stun immune for 18 seconds

grave crane
#

Which is why I shockwave first cast of a pull

#

So my dps have to work harder

strong forum
#

To make sure that other stuns aren't as effective!

grave crane
#

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

Shockwave is for mob control for your group

spear is great because it's a pseudo bubble against physical dmg

isn't Pwar

Combine cds with demonshout

Avatar clap boi spam talent

narrow fern

this is for pure dmg

open gazelle

Demo right after ravager I believe

#

That way you get sb up fast too

blazing condor

pre cast ravager, avatar, demo shout, shield charge, spam revenge, tc

He got that backtracking down for when he throws spear

blazing condor

well you charge

#

you can avatar + charge same time

grave crane
#

And you charge in and then demo so your abilities do more damage

open gazelle
#

@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

narrow fern
#

or after shield charge

blazing condor
#

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

outer wave
#

What’s the feeling on the inc nerf?

open gazelle
#

@blazing condor after is when you roar with demo still up

narrow fern
open gazelle
#

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

narrow fern
#

ravager-avatar+charge+shieldblock-demo-roar-SC then just TC and normal rotations

open gazelle
#

Yes you want your DR dam to be increased by demo

#

^^^ what jaded said to a T

narrow fern
#

ok nice thanks for helping me figuring it out, i like clear cut what i should do in some places haha

dawn marsh
#

So you place Ravager first and Demo before Roar? I saw in a yt video someone explained: Avatar -> Ravager -> TRoar -> Demo Shout

open gazelle
#

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

dawn marsh
#

Oh sweet, good to know.

ocean arrow
#

I would opt for demo prior to roar so you can amp the Initial dmg as well as the bleed

open gazelle
#

Plus demo asap to help your rav too i believe

strong forum
#

in my sim its like this:
charge+avatar->ravager->demo->roar->SC

#

this is the optimal demo shout dmg placement

ocean arrow
#

Yep

#

Perfect

dawn marsh
#

Yeah I found it a little bit weird that Demo shout came so late, but I didn't know any better(until now)

strong forum
#

now in reality in m+, you are more likely to send ravager before you charge

open gazelle
#

@strong forum no rav first?

strong forum
#

not on paper

dawn marsh
ocean arrow
#

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

dawn marsh
#

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 😂

strong forum
#

ravager also takes a bit to deal dmg after landing

#

it doesnt do dmg immediately

ocean arrow
#

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

strong forum
#

thats the goal

ocean arrow
#

What’s our thoughts on the IP nerf

#

30-15%

strong forum
#

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

long stone
#

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?

open gazelle
#

@strong forum FBV instead?

ocean arrow
#

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

strong forum
#

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

ocean arrow
#

No way on FBV

strong forum

its a needed nerf because being in ultra keys without bugged 30% BV woulda been beyond broken
