It might be helpful in temple of jade serpant

mellow quartz
#

So essentially a lot in a high enough key.

gaunt plover
#

warrior struggles a lot in that dungeon

mellow quartz
#

Just depend on your specific situation. If it’s needed or not. There is no one size fits all for it.

compact jackal
#

on 3m CD.

#

Go with the time-honored route that everyone embraces in content. Blame someone else 🙂

mellow quartz
#

In a high enough key it’s probably a default pick.

gaunt plover
#

yea another 3 min big cd could realy be helpful

#

together with spell block

compact jackal
#

a 180s CD you don't control the proc of is the big issue IMO

gaunt plover
#

might reinforce warrior's weakness against magic dmg

slim dove
#

we arent weak to magic even without spell block lmao

mellow quartz
#

You have a 55% DR vs magic from IP

slim dove
#
  • 20% DR from def stance for tank breakers
compact jackal
#

Difference in 30% HP and "Oh I'm dying", and 30% HP and "I'm chillin, maxxin, relaxin all cool." I feel.

tired vapor
#

And spell reflect.

odd tree
#

Folks still think we're weak to magic?

gaunt plover
#

we are weaker against magic dmg than physical dmg, as the nature of the toolkit

gaunt plover
#

in high tyran jade temple I think a lot of warriors still struggle

#

at least from looking at beta

compact jackal
#

and that's kind of the point of magic damage.

slim dove
#

idk where the disconnect is

#

prot war is incredibly strong v magic damage

mellow quartz
#

If you don’t take a lot of damage from physical hits that mean you have more of a buffer to take magical damage

compact jackal
#

Stagger does less against magic. DH lost their passive? Paladins idr, DKs have AMS/AMZ

#

We have a flat 20% if we want it

sharp bone
#

did they change something with the cobalt proc ring? seems we can proc the dps ring now

gaunt plover
#

i thought DH still has the magic dr

craggy pilot
#

anyone know if redoing Heroic dungeons gives rep of sorts?

gaunt plover
#

i've been using the cobalt dmg ring

#

its a lot of single target dmg lol

#

and it procs a lot

slim dove
#

dh has flat 20%.

#

we also have flat 20% on demand

sharp bone
#

i just know a couple days ago we could only proc the absorb ring

#

not the dps ring

compact jackal
#

Couldn't remember if they kept it or not.

slim dove
compact jackal
#

That's what it was, havoc lost 5% right?

slim dove
#

pretty sure

compact jackal
#

DK just gets their actives I believe, still not sure on paladin.

#

but the tl;dr is that spell shield go brrrrrrrr

gaunt plover
#

paladin can block spells

strong forum
#

They fixed the cobalt ring a few days back

compact jackal
#

At reduced effectiveness, right?

strong forum
#

It procs as usual now for us

compact jackal
#

Too lazy to log on mine and check.

#

That boss is going to absolutely demolish, can't fuckin wait

#

Hell the trash above the second boss is going to be glorious

#

Think they will fix brutal vitality on the next update?

fast knot
#

Would be nice for them to as consolation

uneven mason
#

so it was like, 30%

craggy pilot
#

im guessing i go the 2x 379?

slim dove
#

lifeflame is pretty shit

#

frag aint much better

fast knot
#

2rppm I thought

slim dove
#

yeah ring is 2ppm

craggy pilot
#

and Iridious Fragment is hmm

compact jackal
#

who needs good trinkets? Not me.

#

leave yourself attacking a dummy, enjoy 14k movement speed for 5 seconds. good times

compact jackal
#

I also have that turtle shell. Not sure if it's worth using

craggy pilot
slim dove
#

alot

craggy pilot
#

400%?

slim dove
#

ill log in and do some quick math

#

1400 speed is 20%

toxic geyser
slim dove
#

14k speed is 50%

craggy pilot
#

damn

stone badge
#

Are we running fueled by violence over brutal vitality now?

compact jackal
#

Dimishing returns is anti-fun tbh

#

I want to become speed

toxic geyser
compact jackal
#

Okay

#

I'm at 100 stacks

craggy pilot
#

omg i love Graals Discarded Tooth trinket, seems to proc ALOT

#

is it only from WQ?

oak echo
#

Is that the one that makes the shark fly at them?

slim dove
#

ye its a WQ trinket

#

or from rares i think

craggy pilot
#

just had it proc like 3 times in 30 seconds

oak echo
#

It procs a lot but I don't think it was a ton of dam is it?

slim dove
#

its 3ppm

#

its fairly good dmg in aoe

craggy pilot
#

ye it does more dmg up to 5 targets

oak echo
#

Ah mine just might have been too low ilvl

ocean bloom
#

how many targets is sending an outburst TC more dmg than SS?

bold wave
#

guys im rlly not sure if its better to craft an item now with spark or wait after first week of raid release. the wrist looks great and same for the shield of the hearth

fierce field
#

You get a second spark on raid week?

compact jackal
#

every 2 weeks until 5, then it's a legion legendary drop system

oak echo
ocean bloom
#

does anyone have a stance macro that also works with Berserker stance and battle stance?

craggy pilot
tall cedar
#

so there is no overthink to craft first . we can craft both helmet/wrist next week right?

craggy pilot
warm plinth
craggy pilot
warm plinth
#

You can have your bars not switch

#

There's a setting

bold wave
craggy pilot
#

you dont need Shield Slam as Fury

craggy pilot
#

but i dont know if its that way, or if we are just better off crafting helmet fx

warm plinth
#

I didn't say it was smart 😂 I just said it was possible.

compact jackal
#

Shield is the safest option tbh, then your choice of helm/neck/bracers

craggy pilot
#

you can make it not swap bars between different talent sets

#

but not between specs?

compact jackal
#

Really depends on how much damage the helm/secondary proc provide since the bracers are basically a flat 1%

compact jackal
#

They give ~1% vers

balmy narwhal
#

Guys can you tell me what the clown honk means in prot warrior weakaura. I am using Llalord weakaura suite from wowhead.

craggy pilot
#

is Wrist a high stat budget or what?

#

and Helmet?

compact jackal
#

wrist has the vers embellishment, helm is the bleed one, but also one of the 2 high ilvl raid tier slots

craggy pilot
compact jackal
#

the neck is 2 PPM, and I think 50% uptime? So like 225 stat?

#

so I think head > neck > bracers for damage?

craggy pilot
#

not everyone is using that WA package

compact jackal
#

Weapon is 6+haste PPM, but it's less than half the damage of the helm

balmy narwhal
craggy pilot
uneven mason
#

what the hell is that scattered mess

compact jackal
#

I feel this WA is trying to tell me something.

craggy pilot
#

scattered like fuck yes 🤣

balmy narwhal
#

Is there a better weakaura set?

#

To track cds?

craggy pilot
#

probably something like this?

uneven mason
balmy narwhal
#

yeah that looks good

compact jackal
#

I went for the giga braindead route. I use luxthos, removed the icons, and just put hekili below it. Thinking is hard.

bold wave
#

so ur setpiece on helm is free

#

does anyone remember when yogi first posted an m+ video and there was an addon honking a clown horn the whole time and we didn't know why

compact jackal
warm plinth
#

it's because yogi is a clown

craggy pilot
# balmy narwhal Thank you!

but check out the other WA package, it might be way more up to date (the Llarold looks like it has SL stuff in it still)

#

some timers might be wrong etc etc

#

its a long video, but the first 2.20 are installation

compact jackal
#

Wrist is at least easy for me to make at 5* tbh

#

Helm only matters until we can just catalyst it into tier if we even can with embellishment pieces

craggy pilot
wheat stirrup
#

so world quests scale with ilvl. is there any reason to let a world quest time out if it's an upgrade but only by a few ilvl?

uneven mason
#

wat

#

no, that's minmaxing to ab obtuse level

compact jackal
warm plinth
bold wave
compact jackal
#

ah

craggy pilot
warm plinth
#

I'm not really sure what the logic would be on letting it expire without doing it

compact jackal
#

looking at the stats of the pieces, the tier helm is kinda jank iirc

#

I think it's crit/mast?

#

legs are just low ilvl but catalyst ahoy

compact jackal
craggy pilot
#

ye but you learn 0 epics from there

#

i think ill go for learning all the epics, then after i learned all, then i go Hammer

compact jackal
#

and it lets me have this meme

craggy pilot
#

damn you already made Primal Alloy

compact jackal
#

who doesn't want to 5* with only 2* mats and no proc?

craggy pilot
#

how does the "knowledge" reset tomorrow?

compact jackal
craggy pilot
compact jackal
#

that's the fun part

#

It's not even an embellishment

craggy pilot
#

but its in the same slot as Embellishment?

#

ah so you can craft 2 other Embellish and still have this?

compact jackal
#

That's the fun part

#

It's just +25 skill required for a hilariously good benefit

craggy pilot
#

yea sick

#

im panda so even better ❤️

warm plinth
#

yeah if something is embellished dit has the "unique: embellished (2)" thing on it

craggy pilot
#

my racial is actually meaningful for once

craggy pilot
compact jackal
#

Sure you shouldn't die as a tank or DPS ideally, but you never know.

#

You die as a panda and you have no racial currently

Has anyone else experienced mobs shifting around them even though they aren't moving? Not sure if it is just a Tauren thing or what. Used to happen to me on bear all the time

compact jackal

get something to 30 and you can craft these to 100

compact jackal
craggy pilot

all the time and I laugh every time

#

Look at what you get for chest or legs at 30

craggy pilot
#

like, do you have way more points than me or what?

compact jackal
#

I have 126 points

craggy pilot

craggy pilot
#

i have 53 :<

compact jackal
#

blacksmithing go brrrr

craggy pilot
compact jackal
#

I sold them, you can't do anything else with them

craggy pilot
#

you can work-order them i guess

compact jackal
#

they're non consumable and let you free repair wherever if you have 30/30 in that slot

craggy pilot
#

but would have to wait for 50 customers 🤣

#

oh its repair item

tribal oak
compact jackal
#

If I say my race everyone will laugh at me for my terrible decision

uneven mason
#

He's a human

craggy pilot
#

on my server each Masters Hammer is 2700g to craft

compact jackal
#

I can probably do it with 1* mats

craggy pilot
#

wouldnt the difficulty go to 370?

#

and you have 337?

#

so not 5* ?

compact jackal
#

I'll have a bit more skill, but that's the fun part

#

this amazing stat

craggy pilot
#

like im 60 / 100 in BS and i have 53 skill points

#

how did you get 123 skill points at 100 / 100?

compact jackal
#

every shard towards BS, 4/5 consortium, all 9 treasures, still unable to get +5 from BS guy

craggy pilot
#

do you have crazy high Renown for crafting tools with First Craft?

craggy pilot
#

guess i chug them to BS

compact jackal
#

none of the tools outside of my hammer, no alvin, only the armor spikes + stone from renown

craggy pilot
#

im 2/5 consortium, no clue where to farm this

compact jackal
#

none of the recipe/spec weapons

#

only missing these armors as a first craft

craggy pilot
#

and i have no idea what treasures you reference?

compact jackal
#

there's 8 epic treasures that give +3, and BS at least has a blue one that gives +3

#

There's a forge here that if you craft a PMA you can click an object for +3

craggy pilot
#

did you chug Artisans Mettle into skill points?

#

at the goblin in Valdrakken?

compact jackal
#

I am missing 1 (5/5 rep) from them, yes

craggy pilot
#

wdym?

#

i mean the Dusty Blacksmiths Diagram

#

10 points for 100 Artisan Mettle

compact jackal
#

Yeah, there's one unlocked at 5/5 that I don't have. I have the rest

#

You get like 60 total

craggy pilot
#

oh they are locked by rep?

compact jackal
#

yeah

craggy pilot
#

ahhh thought i could buy multiple of them

#

fuck it i just chug it then 😄

compact jackal
#

Regular boring goat

craggy pilot
compact jackal
#

Outside of literally every obsidian weapon, the only BoE plans I'm missing is Alvin and the boots

craggy pilot
#

and do you know how much more knowledge we can get after the reset?

compact jackal
#

I think it's 1 from the scribes, 3? from the weekly?

#

and then infinite from eggs

craggy pilot
#

holy shit you must have spent a shit ton of gold on plans lol

craggy pilot
compact jackal
#

er infinite dragon jewels or whatever

#

they're already infinite

craggy pilot
#

Dragon Shard of Knowledge?

compact jackal
#

That's the one

#

Also, looking at wowhead you might be able to also get +1's via expedition stuff at a 0.7% rate? Also Earth/Fire eles at about the same

craggy pilot
#

looks like the only shit giving me +skill now is Epics

#

gonna be a long run from 60-100 if i dont do the Hammer stuff

#

that would be like 100k gold lol

compact jackal
#

Cheaper than reforging.

craggy pilot
#

is that the only other way of lvling?

boreal crescent
#

Is Frenzying Signoll Flare any good? I got a 372 one this week. It's not on the icyveins or wowhead list of "dps trinkets" for prot warriors... I mean it's not on the arms or fury warrior lists either... But other classes have it as number 1... Am I missing something?

craggy pilot
#

@compact jackal hmm looks like i had the treasures from Waking Shores 🤔

#

any way i can double check?

compact jackal
#

Wowhead has a list with waypoints. The shard you just right click the forge I imagine and see if it gives a message

craggy pilot
#

do i need to do something before? im at 3rd treasure now and cant take it

#

@compact jackal i am fucking idiot

compact jackal
#

Int IS your dump stat as a warrior.

craggy pilot
#

i fucking went to the treasure guide, and looked at the top one thinking there was 1 set of treasures that was shared

#

and its the fucking Alchemy or some shit 🤣

#

i just flew to 4 before realizing

#

ill try the BS treasures now ❤️

main sable
#

So this is a prot/blacksmith question.
I'm specializing in weaponsmith. Trying to debate what weapon to make first with my first spark.
Primal longsword, Obsidian axe or fist weapon. (I'll have rep for fist weapon in a couple days)
Or should I just make 2hander and sell?

boreal crescent
#

I personally used spark to make my 384 shield

#

and used the epic matrix to upgrade the 1h sword

compact jackal
main sable
#

@compact jackal did I read it wrong then for the plans available?

compact jackal
#

Read the materials required

craggy pilot
#

@compact jackal so far found 5, but 1 it seemed like i had already found

#

do i get achievement when i get all 9 or something?

olive steeple
#

Best embellishments for prot warriors?

craggy pilot
#

or how do i know i found all

cobalt seal

Skill?

craggy pilot

#

Not what gear you should use

#

Gear is like 1%

olive steeple
#

Lol so I’m not allowed to ask about gear

cobalt seal
#

Of what it matters

olive steeple
#

Interesting g

main sable
#

Yup. I did misread it. I must have just glanced at that one.

compact jackal
# olive steeple Ty

I'm not sure on the exact damage % of each, but helm is 3.5 PPM and more damage then the belt which is 3 PPM. Weapon is 6 + haste PPM and just under half the damage of the helm. The neck is 2 PPM and I believe 40% uptime for I don't know, like 190 secondary stat at 392 ilvl (accounting for downtime)? Bracers are ~200 vers with the condition of 4 allies in 30 yd

cobalt seal
#

And all tbd

craggy pilot
#

wow i have 29 extra power now, but cant spec into Hammer yet because it requires 75 🤔 i picked Weaponsmithing at 50 🤣

#

@compact jackal

#

thinking of just chugging 20 into one of the armorsmithing

compact jackal
#

chucking 29 into one gives the biggest bonus to that one, chucking it into hammer benefits all

#

29 into 1 also means 1 off master's hammer aka free 100 BS

craggy pilot
#

its not free though

#

not gonna spend 100k on crafting those hammers

craggy pilot
#

and i cant even do hammer yet anyway since i dont have 75 😦

torn gulch
#

at 2ppm

#

that looks like one of the embelishments

#

but it won't be available until season starts because the recipe drops from primal storms

cobalt seal
#

It is

#

There is no point

#

In crafting now

compact jackal
cobalt seal
#

Why is that a issue

torn gulch
#

he considers it too low

#

most likely

#

tbh all of this will need to be simmed

#

before we actually know the answer

cobalt seal
#

Like pretty much all tc

compact jackal
#

So it's 400 secondary stat for 24/60 seconds, or 160 or so

cobalt seal
#

Find that broken

compact jackal
torn gulch
#

do we have full embelishment implementation in sims?

compact jackal
#

I'm just going with the safe route on the embellishments for now and going off the average stat they provide per minute tbf

torn gulch
#

which one is the helm one?

compact jackal
#

Easy way to get an idea, bad idea in regards to burst

torn gulch
#

i found the belt one

compact jackal
#

Infurious Helm

torn gulch
#

the pvp one?

compact jackal
#

Higher PPM and more damage than the belt for some reason

#

At 3* it's like 7300 vs 6800?

cobalt seal
#

Just wait for sims

craggy pilot
#

@compact jackal at 36 points now

compact jackal
#

^

craggy pilot
#

kinda huge

torn gulch
#

yea we'll have to wait for sims especially at 418 ilvl

craggy pilot
#

not sure if i should chug it for more Epic plans, or save it for Hammer

compact jackal
#

Hammer can carry you to 100 skill

craggy pilot
#

need to get 15 skill somehow for Hammer 🤔

#

i mean Hammer Control

torn gulch
#

at least we can use that embelish that is not an embelish and save on food costs

#

kekeke

compact jackal
#

yup

#

I do imagine the bracers are going to be surprisingly strong in sims.

torn gulch
#

and i think we can wear 5 crafted items with 2 handers counting as 2 items

wary heath
#

Do we know If they have addressed how public crafting without minimum quality requirements makes sparks basically useless and risky to use until this is addressed ?

torn gulch
#

not yet

compact jackal
#

Public crafting without minimum quality means nothing tbf

craggy pilot
#

@compact jackal
is hammer legit the only way to skill up past 60?

compact jackal
#

Recrafting gives a skill bonus so it's the way to go

compact jackal
torn gulch
#

i'm not touching public orders until then i am lucky i have very good crafters in my guild

craggy pilot
#

hmm, 40 epic recipe work-orders 🤔

torn gulch
#

we organised pretty well

So just stock pile all chaos. Sparks and power infusions for now?

And titan matrixes?

compact jackal
torn gulch
#

you can use titan matrixes because you can do max 382 with them anyway

compact jackal

torn gulch
#

i am keeping my sparks for now

#

on all chars

craggy pilot
#

ye i think matrixes you just chug

cunning cipher
#

How good is Armor Spikes embellish?

compact jackal
#

For reference, I can already 5* with the mythic primal thing

craggy pilot
#

i have 3x Matrix lvl 1, and i have no idea what to use them for now

wary heath
#

Can you garuntee titans matrices work orders?

#

Ilvl

torn gulch
#

i did not see any matrixes in my m0 world tour

wary heath
#

Isn't it a range

torn gulch
#

you can get 5 stars with titan 4 with proper crafters

wary heath
#

Through private I assume

torn gulch
#

yep

craggy pilot
#

through private or guild

#

but a 377 is still pretty good

#

or 374

wary heath
#

Okay. I'll just hunt Down some crafters then. I got the 372 haste verse shield so I might choose something else

craggy pilot
#

@compact jackal did you farm Renown for the plans?

torn gulch
#

and farm gnarls every day for chance for a shield

#

what's your ilvl?

craggy pilot
wary heath
#

I'm 369 I think

compact jackal

Not sure how behind I am

if you're lucky

you can get it

oh well i will do the quests

I can 5* this on a recraft.

Is there a skip for the Obsidian Sanctum quests if you've done it on your main? I've seen people say something about it..

open gazelle
#

I’m 381 item level I don’t think there’s much more I can do to improve gear before m+ comes out

#

Hoping for more titan matrix drops next week in m0 I guess

torn gulch
#

at 381 you can stop

coarse crystal
#

What you think is the best slot to use a titan matrix in

#

for 382 item

torn gulch
#

depends on what you have

#

in my opinion shield and weapon

wary heath
#

Lol damn 382

#

How

torn gulch
#

5 stars titan matrix 4 craft

coarse crystal
torn gulch
#

lucky you i haven't seen one in my world tours

wary heath
#

Yeah I got one through all 8 mythics

torn gulch
#

how is your shield and weapon?

coarse crystal
#

got 1 on 2 tours, so they not very common

torn gulch
#

ilvl wise?

coarse crystal
#

372 shield, shit weapon

compact jackal
#

Why does the crafted cloak require tailoring to wear?

coarse crystal
#

But not as much main stat from a weapon than other piece

torn gulch
#

i mean if you're a freak you can get a 398 cloak with haste/vers

#

depends on how much of a freak you are

compact jackal
#

They nerfed the hyperspawn for it

#

I'm 3/6 but man is it soulcrushing

torn gulch
#

my guildmates were still doing fine in the farm even after the nerf

#

it took 8 hours full grind

#

from start to finish

#

for some of my guildmates

craggy pilot
#

the amount of hyper grinds this early in the game is kinda nuts 😄

compact jackal
#

I would be dying of sheer boredom after like 45 minutes.

torn gulch
#

yep

#

i am skipping it

#

i can pay about a mill to do it

compact jackal
#

Also, +1 blacksmithing knowledge 😎

torn gulch
#

not worth it

craggy pilot
compact jackal
#

I've been mining and getting satchels

torn gulch
#

yep satchels give knowledge

#

and dirt if i am not mistaken

#

dirt is actual gold this xpac

#

feel like a gold rush prospector

torn gulch
#

a guy finished renown with valdraken with satchels and dirt only

#

like 3300 of them

#

insane

#

absolute monster

craggy pilot
#

what is satchels and dirt?

torn gulch
#

expedition packs and dirt patches

compact jackal
#

literal dirt

torn gulch
#

you see them on the map

#

you open them you get artifacts

#

which you hand in

#

and you get rep

compact jackal
#

Honey, don't forget your shovel collection!

craggy pilot
#

rep with anyone?

torn gulch
#

if you're insane like some people you can farm 3300 of them and get full rep with valdraken and 400+ primal chaos

craggy pilot
#

jesus

torn gulch
#

yea the guy is a monster

craggy pilot
#

it feels like its not meant to play the game like this 🤣

torn gulch
#

it is but someone will do it

#

it always happens because that's how some peeps play the game

#

tehnically you can prob do it with ultra hunt farming with the centaurs

#

gives you like 15 rep per step+4 trophies at the end on white satchels

craggy pilot
#

oh i think i just unlocked shovel thing

torn gulch
#

so 190 rep per hunt

#

so 13-14 hunts per renown level

#

a hunt takes like 15-20 min so 3/4h per level

craggy pilot
#

i just did 1 hunt this week only

#

or 2 i think

torn gulch
#

if you're degen you can finish that one in a couple of days as well

#

but at the end you're gonna become rexxar's master

hemet will be a novice compared to you

how does rock climbing work?

Wow. I was on par on dmg with the rest of the dps... Tank damage is something else.

craggy pilot

you mean dps dps is something else?

compact jackal

DPS are just tanks that die easy, duh

craggy pilot

i need Maruuk rep and Valdrakken rep, and yet here i am grinding Dragonscale rep 🤣

compact jackal
#

Dragonscale is fun and engaging.

craggy pilot
#

im just flying to all the peaks currently

compact jackal
#

I do loops in Waking Shores so I can kill Obsidian rares while I'm at it

craggy pilot

i hate doing just random loops

which is probably why i was always just bad at Gathering 🤣

#

is there a way to farm Dragonscale of knowledge? @compact jackal

compact jackal

treasure and gathering

craggy pilot

how else do we get them?

that's it

oh

maybe ill go treasure hunting then

did you find all treasures?

Not sure u "can find all"

Some on-demand onetime damage proc.

#

which spark of ingenuity gear should i craft?

past lark
#

i did primal molten defender

#

figured a bigger shield would go a longer way day 1 of m+ and raiding with the higher block value

cunning cipher
#

Shield of the Hearth can't have it's base stats changed right? Crit and Mastery is pretty dog tier.

past lark
#

yeah that's the other thing. being able to choose haste/verse is insane

#

i farmed a lot of bs knowledge, used a finishing touch, and got my big boy to be a 389 defender

slender quest

You can craft a Spike on the other shield with haste vers not Sure how good is the spike

BS mats I'd assume

ionic fern

Get me on that server

BS mats are dirt cheap on mine

past lark

15 x 2k for each

cunning cipher

The 3 star alloys for me are like 2.7k each atm

yeah thats what it was for me

ionic fern

Smh.

upbeat salmon
#

So how does the quality play into this?

ionic fern
#

Rich servers.

upbeat salmon
#

More stats?

past lark
#

Darkspear definitely isn't a rich server lmfao

#

i just got the name Situation perfectly spelled on an alt. no one is playing on this server lmao

cunning cipher
#

I thought commodities were region wide anyway, don't alloys fall under that?

past lark
#

i dunno

upbeat salmon
#

Isn't that the matrix?

past lark
#

tbh im totally lost this time around, feel like i don't know anything about what's going on

#

i mean im 380, so i've done my part

but like all the changes to commodities and such, no clue

I'm just worried dropping a spark on a shield that I'll replace week one of m+

what i really wanna know is wtf to enchant my stuff

#

nah the crafted gear will last you

torn lodge
upbeat salmon
#

I'm not enchanting yet

past lark
#

the crafters marks from raid will drop for you

upbeat salmon
#

200k for weapon enchants rogl

#

I don't raid

past lark
#

and you recraft your gear with the better ilvl

cunning cipher
past lark
#

also that ^

upbeat salmon
#

Aah!

past lark
#

can't imagine they'd make it only available in raids

upbeat salmon
#

I mean blizz

past lark
#

lol true

upbeat salmon
#

Sometimes it's convoluted

cunning cipher
#

M+16 and above drops items that let you take the crafted gear all the way to 418 ilvl

upbeat salmon
#

Cheers for that inf9

#

Info

#

So spark crafting early at good prices is worth it

#

So like legendaries from sl again?

#

You craft start of xpac and they last you

cunning cipher
#

Pretty much

past lark
#

yeah looks like it

upbeat salmon
#

Except less power tied to em

cunning cipher
#

You also will get another spark every 2 weeks so you can change your mind later

low kindle
upbeat salmon
#

I'd be happy to run one on first week tbh

#

Doubt I'll get past 10s

cunning cipher
upbeat salmon
#

I'd say 20 or so, yanked from my ass

cunning cipher
#

But M+11-15 drop items that let you take the crafted gear to heroic raid ilvl too

upbeat salmon
#

Two weeks worth of farming seems reasonable

past lark
#

whats heroic raid ilvl this time around?

low kindle
#

Gotcha.

upbeat salmon
#

39x?

cunning cipher
#

402 base I think

#

Since 389 is base for normal you just add 13 for every difficulty

past lark
#

tbh pretty insane to start out the raid tier 380 when the heroic gear is 402

#

this whole rare farming week has been such a shitshow, but it was overall a pretty good idea

upbeat salmon
#

Got another week to farm em

ionic fern
#

402-408-411 for HC

upbeat salmon
#

Don't imagine high end guilds spending much time in NM, if they even bother

#

I mean they'll probably run it once, and then farm heroic for mythic prog

warm plinth

Heroic, then mythic as far as you can, and normal to fill up rest of the slots missing

WTB "high end guild"

cunning cipher
#

Which chad guild is gonna come out and steal first boss WF with 90 wipes this time while liquid and echo are doing hc splits

warm plinth
#

are you referring to something here

#

it's pretty frequent that Liquid and Echo don't get world first of early bosses

upbeat salmon
#

Don't they usually play the long game?

ionic fern
#

Hunting world first early bosses is like hunting world first mythic +2.

upbeat salmon
#

^

compact jackal
#

so you're saying I can have the world first m+2??????

upbeat salmon
#

Doubt, but you could

ionic fern
#

No, that's mine.

compact jackal
#

I'm going to get the world first m+2 solo world tour and you can stop me

warm plinth
#

Yeah. The only boss that one of the top 2 guilds got WF on in the last 2 expansions was Sivarra in TEP

#

Every other raid it was another guild for at least the first boss

upbeat salmon
#

You'd think the only WF that's worth anything in m+ are ksm and ksh

lyric elm
upbeat salmon
#

And then obviously how high they cna push keys

lyric elm
#

I'll try it on VDH

compact jackal
#

The only world first is the one that you care about.

upbeat salmon
#

True

compact jackal
#

You will all be world firsts to me.

upbeat salmon
#

Wholesome

urban bane
#

surely this is a bit shite for a trinket yeh?

upbeat salmon
#

No clue

#

I tend to fidget a fair bit so it's useless to me, but if you can stay put at leat a few times that's a nice speed boost

#

Might be useless on last boss azure

#

Useful soz

#

Since you're meant to not move

urban bane
#

i dont really care about the movement gimmick as much as the value of the stats compared to value of proc/on use effects on other trinkets

upbeat salmon
#

Well I don't know what blazing soul does

urban bane
#

thats the movement gimmick :P

upbeat salmon
#

I guess it would depend how fast you buld the stacks

lyric elm
upbeat salmon
#

But haste is good, and avoidance is always kinda noce

lyric elm
#

The effect is a meme however

urban bane
#

for sure

lyric elm
#

You'll see many trinkets with only strength and no secondaries

urban bane
#

yeah so thats what im wondering i guess

sand pebble
#

Perfect for a target dummy though

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's basically just a stat stick. I don't think it loses budget for the effect

lyric elm
#

Yes I'd say it's strong, most trinkets are good now

warm plinth
#

Kinda hard to say though since there's like no stat sticks this expansion

maybe i was wrong also

Acording to wowhead friend is 5 :/

i quit farming when blizz fixed hyperspawn just as i sat down to start farming it

#

oh w8 is 4/6 Fang, 5/6 Friend, 6/6 true friend?

neon elk

Yes, acording to wowhead

So u need 5/6 for neck and back

jagged pier

u need 5/6 for neck and 6/6 for back

ionic fern
jagged pier
#

dont bother doing the farm now tho

#

its not worth it

slim dove

👆

neon elk
#

Yea i would need like 80+ keys to be 6/6

#

If i dont count other things

solar blade
#

if youve got enough gold to spend you can just buy the tokens and hand them to the quartermaster

slate kestrel
#

Is it worth to use the pure haste gem or is haste/vers the better option since it gives more stats combined? :S

solar blade
#

dont know how much youll nees thookayge

wary heath
#

isn't the neck and back replaced tuesday morning, the day of M+ opening

jagged pier
#

spending your gold to do that farm is useless as the gear is useless in a few weeks

#

if u want the other rewards maybe

#

but doing just for the gear dont do that

#

waste of gold

#

and its probs millions of gold at this point

neon elk
slate kestrel
#

was like 3 million when i last checked the price

wary heath
#

oh i'd sell all the rings

solar blade
#

hahaha weeeell thats insane

its hours and hours of farming for a neck and back slot

meh

get ahead on grass touching before season starts lol

Even i did some random BG's.

Just nicked it from #pvp

shouldn't there be pvp worldquests? :S ... just turned wm on and i don't see any on the map

wary heath

there are

there was as 372 shoulder up earlier, and 750 bloody tokens earlier

#

they aren't always up

slate kestrel
#

what timer are they on?=

slim dove
#

uh

wary heath
#

they had 7 hours remaining when I did them, and I didn't see them yesterday when I turned it on also

slim dove
#

usual daily reset

#

they are the only WQ that reset daily it seems

slate kestrel
#

ah, okay

slim dove
#

someone posts whenever they come up

wary heath
#

when mythic 0s become irrelevant even after the first reset...

#

maybe it's always been the case

slate kestrel
#

so basically just turn wm on before you go to bed an decide to do or not do them the next day 😄

slim dove
#

its good gear to plug a few holes if you get unlucky with the two m0 clears

#

but not make-or-break your week 1 m+

neon elk

Im actualy at point where i consider not even doing next m0s because i can get like 2-3 upgrades which is rather small chance , maybe even less after doing weeklies

what?

Does anyone know if Critical Failure Prevention Unit on a craft means your choice of tinker 100% never fails? The wording is a bit vague and struggling to find info on Wowhead "no longer catastrophically malfunction". Not sure if the quote means there are layers to failure? 😛

warm plinth
#

If you're referring to the engineer tinker, then yeah it means it prevents the potential failure

cobalt seal
#

It should at max rank

#

Unless tinkers dont have ranks

eager phoenix
#

And a follow-up regarding tinkers specifically, for example Breath of Neltharion. Whats the difference between rank 1 and rank 3? The tooltips are exactly same

#

I would guess failure rate goes down with higher rank, but if I have the Prevention Unit it does it matter?

deft vessel

I have never been this overwhelmed with trinket choice this early in an expansion
