Daily petition to stop calling Brutal Vitality BV because Booming Voice was here first 😠

I mentally tag it as BrV

Hello. I struggle to decide about how to spend my last points for a dungeon build. To be short: Warrior tree: One-Handed Weapon Spec, and the two sub-talents for Roar/Shockwave as I assume you want both. I've seen suggestions for 1H+TW, Uproar+TW and RE+SB. I assume this will vary depending on dungeons, pulls etc but are there any recommendations for what will generally be the best?

sick sentinel
#

there is a few chains you have to look up whre to start but besides that chains take maybe 15 minutes

pallid quiver
chrome falcon
#

1H spec is pretty much non-negotiable right

pallid quiver
#

Though I'll probably still craft a shield

chrome falcon
#

so much value for one point

#

you don't take sub-talents for shockwave

pallid quiver
leaden swallow
#

So 1H + TW?

leaden swallow
mighty valley
#

The standard m+ build is roar + Thunderous Words, take Shockwave but neither of the talents below it

They should introduce tabards for the DF factions so you can earn a little bit of rep from doing dungeons :p

# wary heath your graphic card is dying

that would be nice, i still have warranty on mine and it doesn't sell anymore and the store is required to replace it with similar cost, i bought mine just before the drop, so that means... hello 4090 😄

tender cove
#

i've had several GPU die on me, its not dying. its just some weird artifact on it, maybe the embel?

pallid quiver
#

It's having trouble loading the texture map for whatever reason

#

more likely a game file issues, probably

tender cove
#

no idea, it persists after /reload and started i dunno, 10 min ago?

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, like base game files, not just what's loaded

#

Would do full reboot of the game; if it persists, verify files

loud patrol
#

go get that 4090

tender cove
#

Maybe thats the issue?

Generally speaking, how many ilevels must an item be if the stats don't have haste on it?

#

Right but i think the question is more like what’s the weight of str vs haste. Because i was comparing a 372 belt vs a 376 belt today and it was line 6 str more. So is 6 str and 186 crit worth more than 184 haste

Yes

To which the answer is yes

Sorry lmao i was more answering his question, not asking one my own

Total of stats > bis stats unless it’s a neck or ring that’s close in ilvl

I meant nothing by that except that it's a very very common transmog choice for shields XD

I dunno, im just salty because I paid a fuckton for the HD copy version of that shield only for transmog. I love it tbh

Its the jade set

lyric valley
#

without any outside influences and at the same ilvl, is the helmet of vengeance (that's the helmet everyone is talking about, right?) or a primal molten defender with spikes embel better?
do we know that already?

slim dove
#

helm embellish is better

#

spikes is actual lmao tier

tender cove
lyric valley
#

that's a bit disappointing, I wanted to have the proc neck and then have my second embel on my shield and then weapons for arms/fury so I could easily switch

#

since the helmet embel is probably not useful for dps

oblique garnet

#

its 3.5 ppm, roughly 500 dps

Are you good with transmogs? I've been wanting something new for DF and also something to farm for but I really don wanna give up that shield. I need it for tanking xD

Dont wanna derail it too much but the trick is basically going to sleep same time everyday and waking up same time, 365, you cant deviate more than 30 minutes or it takes a week to reset it back. If you want to know more DM me and I can give you some books/authors on the topic.

About the last pinned message, what’s about ? What’s BV and FBV ?

tender cove
oblique garnet
warm plinth
#

BV is Booming Voice, BrV is Brutal Vitality : RIOT:

tardy sorrel
#

Has anyone played with brutal vitality after the nerf? is it still better than fueled by violence since they buffed it?

wicked plank
#

So, are we always lining up Thunderous Roar and Ravager with demo shout ? Would like to know if it makes sense to make a macro for perfect line up with those 3 ?

warm plinth
wicked plank
#

Well, technically you can with a /cast /cast /cast, so you just smash the same button ^^"

#

(me zugzug)

warm plinth
#

No, that would not work

#

If you try to /cast two spells that are both on the GCD in a macro, it will attempt to cast the first one. If it can't, the macro will fail.

#

If it casts the first one, it's done and won't try to cast the others.

jaunty aurora
#

thats not true

#

you can have multiple casts in a macro

wicked plank
#

It is true with a /castsequence I guess ?

jaunty aurora
#

and if it can't cast one it will try to cast the next

warm plinth
#

You can do a castsequence, yes but that would be awkward

jaunty aurora
#

I have plenty of macros for my BM hunter that have multiple casts within them and they work as expected perfectly fine

wicked plank
#

So, a good idea to try to line up those 3 or am I missing something ?

woeful cypress
#

waht should i use whelpling on to get best value?

#

stats or damage?

loud patrol
#

can confirm BV still bugged

small coral
#

What the truck

open gazelle
#

Just don’t cap IP🤷🏼‍♂️

warm plinth
#

The only reason it works if one is off the GCD is because it's essentially trying to cast both spells simultaneously every time you press the macro.

woeful cypress
#

?

warm plinth
#

the wowhead comments*

woeful cypress
#

yeah thats what i thought aswell, but that person was saying that the use doesnt matter

warm plinth
#

Well, in their defense, it doesn't appear at first glance that it does anything other than cause an emote

woeful cypress
#

yeah im too stupid to figure out how it works

warm plinth
#

These were two examples given. So targeting friendly = stat proc. Not sure if the whelp they targeted in the second example was attackable or not

#

Sounds like it might be a mix between IQD and unbound changeling though

#

Assuming it works that way ofc. Probably needs more testing.

Why are they even nerfing it?

has anyone actually gone and tested if it's still bugged today

you're beyond my level of knowledge of crafting already my friend, but I'm sure someone else in here can answer that for you

ember prairie
#

word around the block is a lot of people are yoloing a shield... ive seen a couple of the crafting streamers say they are heavily investing in shields as well so that's a good sign

tender quartz
#

Yea first went into Shield, if i get an upgrade meanwhile I'll use, after a couple Mythic Clears I'll upgrade Shield further with more Spec Points. 2nd is going into Pants because of no Haste Versa. Think I'll be happy with that overall

#

Offtopic but did anyone notice FPS improvements in Valdrakken as of reset or is it placebo?

warm plinth
#

Well shields are one of our biggest upgrades for sure and it's easier to get a weapon than a shield so it seems solid to me to go for that

Anyone know if the armor spikes embellishment is unique? Like, we can't have spikes on a shield and on an armor piece right?

tame jasper
fluid beacon
#

So is Treemouth's some kind of Sim bug? cuz it shows that its a 2700 DPS increase for me but the tooltip shows now damage effect nor does details

tame jasper
#

e.g. you set the min quality to 5-star, but the crafter can only ensure 4-star without inspiration procc, this message will come

fluid beacon
#

tooltip shows just an absorb shield and the strength value alone is no way that much dps

#

so what am i missing

fluid beacon
#

It has to be an error with Simcraft

#

cuz even with a simple gear compare it shows that difference

#

nothing else changed

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's because you have double on-use trinkets

#

The higher sim is using them in opposite priority

fluid beacon
#

not sure what you mean

warm plinth
#

The two sims are you using e.g. trinket 2 before trinket 1 and the other sim is trinket 1 before trinket 2

fluid beacon
#

the other trinket i had in there was also an on use

warm plinth
#

Which means they probably are lining up with CDs differently

fluid beacon
#

ok but my other trinekt was a DPS trinket

#

this is an absorb shield

#

so 2 even unaligned dps trinket should sim better than 1 dps 1 absord one

#

unless the Strength value is so much

#

Blazebinder's Hoof was the other trinket

warm plinth
#

Oh I misunderstood your question, my bad. Yeah I'm guessing it's probably just main stat vs haste

#

Also not sure if anything changed, but fwiw I don't believe you should use dslice for prot

fluid beacon
#

2700 dps from dropping a bunch of haste and gaining STR

#

seems a bit insane

#

hectic add cleave? im only interested in the delta between gear so what i sim with shouldnt matter much, no?

warm plinth
#

Generally I sim 3 min ST and 5 target patchwerk 1 min and if I'm feeling really froggy I'll do a 10 target patch 1 min

autumn urchin
warm plinth
#

Well when it comes to a trinket I think it would matter more because if the sim is using it on a trash pack vs on a boss (in dslice) then you're going to have a different outcome

#

like if one trinket is used 3 times on trash and one is used 2 times on trash and one time on boss, it's gonna be skewed

fluid beacon
#

Strength has a large Stat weight but Haste is not that far off

#

so its still a bit strange to me

#

but I like the trinket. the shield is pretty massive

warm plinth
#

I mean, that's showing str as like 60% better than haste so that makes sense.

fluid beacon
#

ya i suppose so

#

pretty nuts that strength has such huge value

warm plinth
#

that being said, you can ping nomeratur if you want a more informed opinion. He's the TC dude so he would probably be able to give like...math reasons behind it, or at least confirm that I'm not totally stupid 😂

#

or Mwahi

fluid beacon
#

yea I may tomorrow. kinda late now to ping the man

#

thanks for the help though Cap'n

np, they're both EU fwiw though so it's morning (or soon to be morning) for them

dense lance
#

is there any reason to buy the highest quality enchant?

#

doesnt seem to change the stats

tame blaze
#

Pretty sure the tooltips are incorrect. I think, for example, ring enchants actually give less than they say (unless that changed)

mortal brook
#

Tooltips are shit, higher star is higher stats

lyric geode
#

when m+ is up, we will be able to farm epic

#

so enchants will be dirty cheap

hazy sluice
#

Yo for m+ sims is dungeon slice the way to go ? And is it normal das Revenge sits on DMG Nr 1?

#

Raidbots says I'm at 22k, I am able to get to 25k overall but I don't think revenge was on place Nr 1

urban portal
#

because dungeon slice isnt a real dungeon

#

its also not that big of packs

hazy sluice
#

I'm more into spamming SS/TC because if procs and spending rage on IP cuz it's off gcd, like revenge is after SS and TC on prio list isn't it ?

ionic fern
#

Generally speaking the AoE APL is not as finely tuned as the ST one.

warm plinth
#

I'm dumb when it comes to APL but shouldn't Ip be there somewhere

urban portal
#

it should be somewhere else

#

IP rules isnt specific to aoe so its not in the aoe section

ionic fern
#

There are different parts to the APL (not all of them are written in the same way).
For Warriors there's
"Actions" - which = highest priority, this includes cooldowns,trinkets,and IP
And then the following:
"actions.AoE" which is called if the target count is more than.. 3 iirc (?)
"actions.general" which is called if the target count is less than 3

#

General is treated as the "ST" one.

upbeat salmon
hazy sluice
#

Like I thought u should always cast thunderclap every second gcd in avatar, but in the dungeon slice sim it's more like revenge is being cast every other gcd

ionic fern
upbeat salmon
#

dungeon slice doesn't have as many targets does it ?

hazy sluice
#

Ah ok

#

Just sorting out if I'm doing something wrong

sand pebble
warm plinth
hazy sluice
#

But i have no tier set

ionic fern
#

UNless they changed it, dungeon slice is working as follows:
"DungeonSlice:
360s sim
NO Boss(es)
1 enemy for the first 135s
~5s of nothing to hit (no actions)
4-6 adds every 45s (starting at 140s) for ~15s
1-3 adds every 50s (starting at 160s) for ~30s
(there will be short periods of inaction in-between some add spawns)
"

urban portal
#

so the packs are never bigger than 6?

ionic fern
urban portal
#

i guess it doesnt really matter

hazy sluice
urban portal
#

since rotations for most classes at 6=uncapped anyways

hazy sluice
#

This is with avatar up

#

Without tier set obv

urban portal
#

like he said

#

its not optimized

hazy sluice
#

Yeah

ionic fern
#

If you look at the TC line it doesn't have any special modifications for Avatar/UF.

#

It's just a line for if avatar is up AND Outburst is up AND target count is more than 5 AND UF is talented.

warm plinth
#

That's a lot of ands

hazy sluice
#

So correctly played it's TC every other gcd right and then prio is SS>revenge ?

ionic fern
#

At least looking at some of the damage breakdowns he has posted previously.

hazy sluice
#

Yeah I kinda stick to that rule too. Like if with procs I kinda never come to casting revenge I still put it in somewhere early er to apply the dot

ionic fern
#

I spam Revenge heavily.

#

in AoE.

I leveled as prot 60-70

Once in a dungeon

you died?

After getting feared 3 times

i died once at 63 when i tried to kill a 71 elite

Also, SS actually hits like a truck.

onyx vessel
#

I did a normal as i hit 70

#

Like got 70 from the 1st boss

#

Got a 346 1hand

#

You guys ever feel like you have to pull small cuz your dps are just gonna die

sand pebble
#

haha nope

split copper
onyx vessel
#

Own fault

ionic fern
#

Your the top damage anyways.

#

No need for DPS.

onyx vessel
#

Thats how we nerfed for the 100th time tho

#

I wasnt in that normal

#

Ww monk was double my dmg

sand pebble
#

ww pumps yes

onyx vessel
#

Probably was quite a bit more geared as i was 318

sand pebble
#

guildy ww was on 70-80k average dps in acadamy

lyric geode
#

Whirlwind is doing ok dmg.

hazy sluice
#

I prefer SS over revenge cuz of more rage= more everything. U feed all the talentswith more rage spend. Also SS DMG reduction for target

#

Even in aoe

lyric geode
onyx vessel
#

Still no m+ out so no reason to worry about survivability

lyric geode
#

The big win is the buff that increases your block by 25%. Totally broken.

hazy sluice
#

Sure thing, it's a small side effect but it is just the cherry on top to the other benefits of spending a ready SS over a revenge gcd

lyric geode
#

But definitely usable on higher content.

onyx vessel
#

Go in normal get spooned your 4 set and your golden

lyric geode
#

I hope we would be able to craft tier.

#

5 tank runs when?

sand pebble

can do that now

lyric geode

Can you do it +20s?

People isn’t here to be loyal to some computer bytes

#

They wanna play what’s the best

upbeat salmon
#

i played SV before it was cool

hazy sluice
#

My problem is not the meta it's that every tank is hella fun for me so I cannot decide what to play first.

urban portal
#

This isn’t a PvP game where you can at least outplay people

#

There are something’s your spec just isn’t capable of

hazy sluice
#

Except bear lel

lyric geode
#

Not necessarily. Only fotm. Like League people play Ivern competitively. It doesnt mean it isnt a shitty champion.

#

I played Nasus top all the time.

#

I had to minimize my weaknesses and maximize my strengths ( turrets go boing boing).

urban portal
#

Yes that’s my point

#

In league you can outplay people through expertise

#

But in wow you literally have a cap

lyric geode
#

Ah ok.

urban portal
#

Like

#

You can be loyal to arms all you want

#

You can parse 100

#

In 9.0 you still can’t beat a fotm reroller Druid

#

Same with something like prot pal vs pre nerf jailer

#

It was just too difficult

#

But dps reach their limits faster than tanks

#

Because fights are USUALLY balanced around the weakest tank

#

And in m+ no one is forcing you to push highest keys

urban portal
lyric geode
#

Really?

#

I haven't touched this game since a long time.

urban portal
#

Anyways you get my point

#

In league you can one trick because there’s skill cap to most champs

#

In wow you can’t just because you don’t produce the raw numbers

#

That’s why people reroll

lyric geode
#

Sirhcez is the best nasus player.

Demonology at no point was op in m+

Ah yes.

How can you be sad when people want to play one line of code over another

lyric geode

Rain of fire.

urban portal
#

They want to be doing the best content

lyric geode
#

Spam

urban portal
#

Not doing 15s on their favorite spec

lyric geode
#

I mean, there is no loyalty to class and spec anymore.

urban portal
#

That’s what I’m trying to say

#

Why would there every be loyalty

#

You play what’s fun and what gets you doing the hardest content

#

Not to mention wow is pretty stale

#

So you either push hard content or try different specs
