weapon and shield has always been what i have been notoriously unlucky in getting

sick sentinel
#

you have to pray to the pepega gods first

craggy pilot
#

not sure how people sim to show Lariat being better 🤔 these are my top choices with 359 neck, and 379 wrist...
33 ilvl upgrade on Lariat + the equip = 1.0%
13 ilvl upgrade on Wrist + equip = 1.2% dps

#

(my weapon is 372, hence the 392 weapons showing above)

cobalt seal
#

You understand

#

That not every emb

#

Is in sims

#

Correct?

#

So maybe lariat is not yet in simc

craggy pilot
#

its right here

craggy pilot
#

but how do you reckon people say Lariat is better if its not simmed then?

cobalt seal
#

Do i need to draw you a pic

#

Or you can figure out what im saying

craggy pilot
#

everyone saying Lariat sims higher

#

now you say its not simming at all?

#

bruv what

cobalt seal
#

The effect might not be in simc

craggy pilot
#

it is

#

for sure

cobalt seal
#

Link the sim

craggy pilot
#

Lariat 382 simming higher dps than a 389 neck

cobalt seal
#

Just the ilvl alone should be more than 1%

craggy pilot
#

ill run 382 embellish + 382 crafted without embellish

#

so we can compare

craggy pilot
#

what?

cobalt seal
#

?

cobalt seal
#

Im still talking about the 1%

#

Since you arent linking anything

#

To try and figure if something is erong

craggy pilot
#

ah ye i sent other picture one sec rerunning the sims

loud patrol
#

what are we fighting for this time?

cobalt seal
#

I dont want pics

mellow quartz
#

He means link the url

cobalt seal
#

Give the link

#

Pics show me nothing

craggy pilot
#

ill link when its done lol

#

Wrist embellishment looking to be flat out 1% dps

#

which is about the same amount of stats as Lariat, if not more

#

so it will probably be 1% for Lariat as well

#

pants not simming either, and Frostfire belt looking to sim like 0.5%

timid beacon
#

so is there a final decision on Shield of Hearth vs Primal Molten Defender? I know there's been a lot of talk on how to use the 2 embellishments and probably shield isn't the best for it

craggy pilot
#

its all up to you in the end

slim dove
#

you cant remove embellish on hearth.

#

big L for me.

craggy pilot
#

but then again, Hearth effect could be very good, we dont really know since the proc rate is 🤷‍♂️

slim dove
lusty grotto
#

its 2.2 ppm

craggy pilot
#

and is the dmg scaled off AP?

lusty grotto
#

what do you mean

slim dove
#

hearth effect doesn't do damage...

craggy pilot
#

i think the main idea of the ring/neck crafters, is that it sacrifices less main stat, which you will gain from high M+/Mythic raid gear, while crafting Plate pieces give you an early boost in Str, which might be replaced later, unless you keep crafting it up

craggy pilot
lusty grotto
#

yeah i was confused for a second there

slim dove
sick sentinel
#

i waa thinking about doing the companionship one, probably wont

#

I'm putting together mats for Primal Molten Defender I have my t3 primal molten alloy and armor spikes can anyone suggest what to put for Infuse with power (I assume this is the missive) and customize secondary stats? still learning crafting system.

lusty grotto
#

you guys know how i feel about hearth though

timid beacon
#

i don't....do tell 🙂

lusty grotto
#

the rest of the stuff seems lit

#

feel free to search in disc

warm plinth
#

Nimchip being dramatic af

craggy pilot
lusty grotto
#

its a waste of an embelishment

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
#

and a waste of an early spark

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
#

of course

craggy pilot
craggy pilot

hearth

slim dove
craggy pilot
#

missive of the

lusty grotto
#

aurora or fireflash

slim dove
#

fireflash is crit/haste

#

aurora is haste/vers

lusty grotto
#

haste vers , haste crit

sick sentinel
#

Aht thanks

#

i went glyph finding so i can go mining easier on my dk, swapped to rrost and got 1 shot

#

gotta work out some greens at least for him

#

Ok cool thanks finally got my head around this I appreciate all the help from this discord I'm very new and I feel liek this helped get me up to speed much quicker than I would have on my own.

craggy pilot
sick sentinel
#

i find it very confusing the new work order system but i will probably make something soon

lusty grotto
#

you can remove embelishments on it on a later recraft though

#

unlike hearth

#

and other perma embelishment pieces

#

but yes, thats something to keep in mind

#

remove spikes and/or potion duration embelishments from it on a recraft asap you get another spark for better embelishments

forest pagoda
#

Do we know what the best embellishments will be for M+ yet?

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
#

i guess if you dont have anything else

#

i havent any in

loud patrol
#

i like using my shield with the fed embelishment

sick sentinel
#

You went no embelish just to keep it open?

warm plinth
#

Nimchip is a walking embellishment. He cute af

sick sentinel
#

What is the fed embelishment?

lusty grotto
warm plinth
#

the food embellishment doesn't count as an embellishment though afaik?

sick sentinel
#

Oh the one where the well fed buff doesn't disappear?

warm plinth
#

yeah

#

the one that makes it last through death

loud patrol
sick sentinel
#

What does armor spikes do? causes damage when they hit oyu?

warm plinth
#

pretty sure it doesn't count as an embellishment

lusty grotto
#

alchemical flavor pocket he means

olive steeple
#

Why wouldn’t it count? It’s in the emilishment slot

#

Embellishment

sick sentinel
#

I have armor spikes and the well fed one in my inventory they both are embellishments I believe.

lusty grotto
#

either way id say the two important ones would be spikes and/or pot duration

sick sentinel
#

Yea I'm going spikes personally.

lusty grotto
#

but it depends if you pot while pushing keys

loud patrol
#

idk bout spikes

lusty grotto
#

spikes got buffed recently

#

see pins

slim dove
#

Still only 1-2% overall in an m0

warm plinth
#

They are an embellishment but they don't apply the unique-equipped thing

lusty grotto
#

huh that's interesting

#

might be a bug though

warm plinth
#

Possibly, but if it isn't, then everyone should have it

lusty grotto
#

yeah might as well if youre planning on putting embelishments anywhere else

sick sentinel
#

And when I'm lookin in trade I'm asking for t5 molten defender right? I'm not getting any responses can anyone in here craft it?

loud patrol
#

food buff best buff wicked

lusty grotto
#

why are you looking in trade

#

just put the crafting order and wait

mortal brook
#

cuz he wants t5

#

not t2

loud patrol
mortal brook
#

from the first shitter that presses button

lusty grotto
#

so? recraft

mortal brook
#

??

#

recraft. by finding someone in trade? lol

loud patrol
#

oh gets worse if the person doesnt know what they are doing

lusty grotto
#

no? you can put the recraft in

#

there's a whole category for recrafting orders

mortal brook
#

as a guild or personal order

#

theres no public recraft

lusty grotto
#

oh, yeah you're right

loud patrol
#

my pants were 3 star and placed them for recraft to 5 stars then i got 1 star ;_;

lusty grotto
#

completely forgot about that

loud patrol
#

i wanna sue

lusty grotto
#

well im against them putting quality restrictions on orders

#

but

#

they should definitely add a recrafting with a restriction

loud patrol
#

im not after randoms butchering my gear

lusty grotto
#

probably 1 up max from where you are

olive steeple
#

Is there a limit to how many orders crafter can fulfill?

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter my dude its for the health of the system

mellow quartz
lusty grotto
#

yes 20 a week publics

loud patrol
olive steeple
#

Ah dang. I guess I need to increase my tip then

mellow quartz
#

Public system is already dead since you can’t put limits on it

mellow quartz
lusty grotto
#

you cant put limits on nit

warm plinth
#

But yeah trade chat is your best bet if you're after something very specific because crafting orders are only your server/server-group (where applicable)

lusty grotto
#

you'll kill the system

#

its unfortunate people are like MAX QUALITY OR NOTHING

#

but it is what it is

mellow quartz
#

If you can’t decide what ilvl you get you won’t find anyone that puts up orders

warm plinth
#

It's probably a bad idea to have stuff based on a quality. More mats or something to guarantee higher ilevel would've been the better way to go about it

mellow quartz
#

Unless they only expect the minimum

loud patrol
lusty grotto
#

no its not

#

what

mellow quartz
#

Public system is for people crafting minimum

#

That’s it

loud patrol
#

tell that to eonar and their empty orders

#

most people are doing personal/guild orders

lusty grotto
#

there's a 20 a week limit

#

orders are filled fast

sick sentinel
#

blizzard will fix public once they see there is a problem with it and see trade chat whispers leading to sale vs work order sales

warm plinth
#

Yeah if you have to go to trade chat to get what you're after, it hurts the crafting order system

#

like in what world is a person not going to want the best item they can get for their money

mellow quartz
#

If you want anything but minimum ilvl you won’t use public system

opaque vine
#

I think the system very clearly needs work. But imo, it does bring back a little mmo feel to the game where it feels like knowing the people on your server and seeing people in trade chat adversities their speciality actually means a damn. Everything is so automated in MMOs now where everybody feels like an npc. Gives some old vibes

#

But obviously the system needs refining

mellow quartz
#

Or you risk all your mats on some rando crafting it as minimum level, which no one will do.

warm plinth
#

I love the idea of the system; it just needs some refining

#

exactly

lusty grotto
#

but youre not risking your mats

#

your item isnt unusable

warm plinth
#

You're "risking" them in the sense that you want the best but might get the worst (of the possible options)

mellow quartz
#

It’s very simple. If I want a specific ilvl item I should be able to order that not having to go yell in trade chat for it.

loud patrol
lusty grotto
#

as it stands, youre even getting an ilvl bump over anything at base ilvl

edgy grail
#

yea not being able to set the quality in public orders is just dumb

mellow quartz
warm plinth
#

ngl I kinda think the crafting order system would be more flexible and make more sense if it was global

lusty grotto
#

how do you have the same ilvl

#

right now?

mellow quartz
#

Not talking now

lusty grotto
#

because max pve loot is 379 off super rares

mellow quartz
#

In general

edgy grail
#

bro thats not the point

#

lol

lusty grotto
#

ok but we're living in the now

edgy grail
#

ZZZZZZ

lusty grotto
#

not in the "after tuesday"

loud patrol
#

384 if you count the worm

mellow quartz
#

Say I have 413 and I want 418 and out it up for public order. It will just end up wasted on minimum range craft.

warm plinth
#

I don't think there's an issue with identifying potential future problems though, do you? Problems should be voiced sooner so they can be fixed sooner.

olive steeple
#

Not allowed to talk about a permanent system in a future context!

loud patrol
#

this system is gonna get a lot of problems in the future

lusty grotto
#

calm down everybody, im just setting context

warm plinth
#

Like you don't wait until a problem exists to fix it if you can identify it ahead of time

mellow quartz
#

The public system is completely useless in a few weeks when everyone is going to try and get max ilvl crafted pieces.

lusty grotto
#

how are you guys gonna deal with lil timmy that just got to 70 and wants to do his weekly to go up in knowledge and rep

sick sentinel
#

there is not alot to be fixed besides random bugs

lusty grotto
#

since if you set quality, everyone is gonna want max quality and nothing else

#

how do we deal with that?

#

that's 2 problems in 1

sick sentinel
#

its not possible to fix fps or latency lag

#

easily

loud patrol
mellow quartz
lusty grotto
#

and, obviously that brings out problems in the future

olive steeple
#

I’d imagine it could be a system that you can request lower level items with a lesser tip

lusty grotto
#

because then what if crafters quit?

#

and you essentially blocked a way for new crafters to come up

loud patrol
mellow quartz
#

You can craft stuff without orders wdym

sick sentinel
#

so, cuz those are number one for me, ill play agame that has latency, ill play a game that gets low fps but not together

loud patrol
#

at least thats what im doing

mellow quartz
#

You are not forced to level off work orders

lusty grotto
#

im not talking about leveling

#

or just about leveling

sick sentinel
#

its like exodia pieces to uninstalling the game

lusty grotto
#

prof knowledge + artisan rep is received via that weekly

#

thats 3 things that are gained through it

mellow quartz
#

You can craft work orders from your alts

#

What I did with alchemy

#

For the quest

golden pollen
#

There's prolly crafting catch up knowledge

lusty grotto
#

so casual players would be obligated to do that huh

loud patrol
#

i have a 61 dk in valdrakken in front of the forge and i send all mats i get

lusty grotto
mellow quartz
lusty grotto
#

sorry alyrion

#

i still disagree

golden pollen
#

Casual doesn't mean everything is given to you, it's just ease of access to it

loud patrol
lusty grotto
#

i see

mellow quartz
#

Wow big barrier to entry

#

Getting a toon to valdrakken

lusty grotto
#

its easy for you

loud patrol
#

i dont like it either but if i want good items its what i gotta do

lusty grotto
#

not easy for casuals

#

try to think outside your perspective

golden pollen
#

That's like saying forcing m+ player to unlock dragon riding because of one dungeon

mellow quartz
#

You can fly there right when you make the alt

lusty grotto
#

a lvl 70 alt

mellow quartz
#

Literally first 10min after arriving in dragon lands

#

No 60

lusty grotto
#

err 60

#

either way

#

casual player

mellow quartz
#

If you are making a system for such a low level denominator that is useless for all of endgame that is just beyond silly

lusty grotto
#

youre looking at it on an endgame perspective

mellow quartz
#

I am at a loss for words how you can even think that.

lusty grotto
#

wow is not an endgame only game

golden pollen
#

So ur saying a causal should be able to do everything at level one

loud patrol
#

a casual player will be stuck with low quality unless they can pay a specific crafter

lusty grotto
#

even Max has seen the error of his ways

golden pollen
#

Because casual shouldn't level and explore

lusty grotto
#

even blizz has seen the error of their ways

#

stop looking at things ONLY from end-game only players perspectives like ours

mellow quartz
#

Not being able to set a level means public orders are unusable for anyone that want to get high ilvl simple. That is not a good system requiring anyone to go to trade chat like it’s vanilla.

lusty grotto
#

i agree its not a good system to go through trade chat

#

i 100% agree

#

setting quality however, is not something i can agree on for the sake of casual andies

golden pollen
#

So ur saying, casual should be given the same thing a person spend time on

warm plinth
#

I'm curious how that affects casual players though

mellow quartz
golden pollen
#

There's no barrier to entry to crafting, just weather or not you are spending the extra effort to improve it

warm plinth
#

The only difference between lower ilevel pieces and higher ilevel pieces is the crafter right? The mats don't change other than the matrix

lusty grotto
#

crafter stats and skill

warm plinth
#

So why would casuals not want the better thing

golden pollen
#

Matrix effect ilvl

lusty grotto
#

can someone translate what cuteguy is actually saying, i have to admit i dont understand a single thing that he has typed so far

loud patrol
#

you are looking the crafting orders as a extra mechanic for professions instead of what it is, a try from blizzard to establish a 2nd economic system other than the AH

lusty grotto
warm plinth
#

Why can't they? They have the access to the same things we do

mellow quartz
#

So you can’t just p2w

#

And have it all come from the crafter

lusty grotto
#

alyrion is right

loud patrol
#

thats an extra

lusty grotto
#

no that's not extra

golden pollen
#

If a casual crafter wants to craft, what's stopping them?

lusty grotto
#

thats 100% what they want

mellow quartz
#

Always been there

#

Just had to be the crafter yourself as well

loud patrol
#

you gotta put effort on it anyways

warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

if the only solution is to implement a max quality checkmark then blizzard should absolutely get rid of the weekly orders quest

mellow quartz
#

If the crafter provided all the mats the buyer would need no effort

lusty grotto
#

and honestly since we all know that max quality checkmark will be perma ON, then just get rid of quality altogether

mellow quartz
#

Solution is to let people set the quality they want to have some other way for people to level their crafting besides work orders.

warm plinth
#

well I've already said quality was a bad idea so I'd be fine with that

loud patrol
#

is like for your house you have the builder that charges you 100 and uses a rusted hammer and the one that charges 500 but has good equipment who are you gonna go to?

lusty grotto
#

does that seem reasonable?

#

just get rid of quality

#

and make it boring again

warm plinth
#

Quality is the only exciting thing about crafting?

lusty grotto
#

to satisfy everyones min maxing itch

mellow quartz
#

As long as you cannot guarantee the quality you get the public system is useless for endgame.

loud patrol
warm plinth
#

not specializing? Not the trees? Not the crafting order system in general?

#

It's all about the quality; that's the only new thing in crafting

#

and it's the only thing that makes it fun

lusty grotto
#

whats so special about the trees ghash

olive steeple
#

I can see a world where people are requesting low quality items because they don’t have to tip as much

golden pollen
#

The quality system does have a issue,but what does that have to do with casual issue?

lusty grotto
#

they only add skill in basically

#

and recipes

#

bottom line, yes quality and hitting a mark is a special thing

#

as a crafter

#

we're not talking about gathering

loud patrol
mellow quartz
#

It’s just another money sink like leggoes

lusty grotto
#

which def does have some good things

mellow quartz
#

Would rather have been without it all

loud patrol
#

the crafting trees are weird

lusty grotto
golden pollen
#

The specialisations thing is a good idea, just executed in a bad way

lusty grotto
#

i dont see how they were executed in a bad way at all

#

can you explain?

mellow quartz
#

We were purely talking abt the public order system and quality and range. Nothing else.

golden pollen
#

Public order system won't be into play until more sparks r out

warm plinth
#

I don't understand because earlier you said you agreed quality affecting ilevel was bad, and now you're defending quality like it's the only thing that matters

lusty grotto
#

who?

#

me?

#

i didnt say that 1st thing

#

and yes i will defend quality

#

im trying to propose a solution

warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

oh, i agreed to the 2nd part

#

because that's a good idea

warm plinth
#

But that's literally what quality is right? It affects the ilevel

#

How can you agree with the 2nd part without agreeing to the first

lusty grotto
#

because the way i see it

#

lets say you can restrict quality somehow

golden pollen
#

Imo, instead of knowledge point the way it is, it could be a mastery system, let say you crafted 100x plate boot, you are then able to craft the epic version of it, at that point it can eliminate the need for quality as well. But then that would lead to people who has huge resource to buy mat to get all epic crafted unlocked early lol. Every system will have flaw, if you don't like it you can always send your feedback to the dev n see if it improves or not, if not find another game that fits ur need

lusty grotto
#

then the person making the order

#

should pay up more

#

somehow

#

a combination of mats and gold perhaps

steel juniper
#

Does anyone have a spell reflect addon/WA to recommend?

lusty grotto
#

which kinda falls in line with what you said

warm plinth
#

My issue with the current iteration is that you shouldn't have basically RNG determining if you get what you want for your mats.

lusty grotto
#

wdym rng

#

you mean via crafting orders?

golden pollen
#

You can use missive to control the rng right?

lusty grotto
#

skill/stats/mat quality eliminates the RNG

#

equipment

#

etc

warm plinth
#

RNG of whether you get a crafter that is going to make the ilevel that you want

#

if you use a public order

limpid pawn
#

why do some people think druid tank is going to be meta?

#

just curious - I am leveling mine up now but i don't see the crazy synergy/strength that may put it up there

wooden widget
#

Who thinks that

mellow quartz
#

Would be the aoe group heal

lusty grotto
#

look Ghash lets just leave it at, i can agree with a quality restriction if:

  1. the guy putting up the order pays off more
  2. casuals arent getting fucked over on weekly quests, or for not being clued to their tables looking to snatch a quick order
#

and also, lets make it very clear

limpid pawn
#

the aoe group heal is that strong?

lusty grotto
#

quality restriction wouldn't be a thing really, because everyone would just crank up to max

loud patrol
#

restrict quality on gold? not a bad idea but how you gonna restrict that on the crafters end

lusty grotto
#

establish basic stats minimums

#

to force a guaranteed max quality

loud patrol
#

now we gotta tell blizzard

lusty grotto
#

as in, crafter cannot do an order unless they have the stat/gear mins

mellow quartz
#

Discussing it here won’t change anything so it’s pointless.

lusty grotto
#

good discussions arent a waste of time

#

they are worthwhile

mellow quartz
#

Nope

golden pollen
#

But this channel is for prot warrior discussion

lusty grotto
#

then why were you discussing with us?

mellow quartz
#

You can also discuss if the sun will rise tomorrow. Won’t change shit.

golden pollen
#

You should bring it to a wow profession discord instead

mellow quartz
lusty grotto
#

i wouldnt say we're here to change things

#

this entire discord doesnt change anything in game really

#

kinda weird that you would think that

mellow quartz
#

This channel is abt help with prot warrior. Not changes.

#

So that affects people’s choices 🤷‍♂️

lusty grotto
#

does it?

#

because every day we have some new person asking about the same thing

#

does it really change people's choices?

golden pollen
#

People usually come in this channel with questions or ideas revolving around prot warriors

mellow quartz
#

And their choices might change basis the response

#

Or should I say their actions

lusty grotto
#

perhaps so

loud patrol
#

tbh sometimes theres people talking bout different stuff and thats not bad gives life to this place

lusty grotto
#

but we're a drop in a sea of players, so by your logic should we stop?

#

since we're really not affecting much ?

mellow quartz
#

If someone comes and asks if he should do X or Y and you tell him X and he does it that has an actual outcome. Hoping blizzard changes work orders doesn’t lol

#

It’s not abt much

golden pollen
#

You don't have to stop, but there is a better place for your discussion of crafting/causal/quality

lusty grotto
#

we're not hoping

#

we're discussing

#

its just a discussion

warm plinth
#

Do you think crafting discords change things in-game then? It was just a discussion guys; it's not that deep

mellow quartz
#

With no point as the discussion has no action to take basis the outcome

lusty grotto
#

if anything spoken needs to have a direct result, im kinda sad for you man

golden pollen
#

But they would engage more in a crafting discord since they would be more inclined to do more crafting than most people here who mainly just want to play prot warr

mellow quartz
#

When you go around in circles it just becomes pointless

warm plinth
#

The discussion had a point. We shared things that we think could be improved about the crafting system and got to hear others' opinions about it.

#

Getting perspective is not pointless

lusty grotto
#

ghash hit the nail in the head

warm plinth
#

Besides, maybe we were just bored and wanted entertainment. That's still a point.

lusty grotto
#

indeed

golden pollen
#

From my perspective, it's like talking about WW1 trench warfare on a math 101 group studies group

sick sentinel
#

My crafters are saying they can't get past t4 right now is that correct for Primal Molten Defender?

lusty grotto
#

probably

civic junco
#

pfft nah, you can definitely get grade5 for just about anything now

sick sentinel
#

So 384 is max currently?

civic junco
#

I think people are still saying to wait to craft anything, right?

loud patrol
golden pollen
#

I thought u can 405 craft

lusty grotto
#

384 isnt t4

#

t3 = 386

sick sentinel
#

Ah ok.

novel temple
#

Does spear of bastion sim higher than thunderous roar and words?

warm plinth
golden pollen
#

i'll still participate in it, but im just saying there is better place for discussion like that

lusty grotto
#

ok so where would that be

#

spontaneous discussions happen

#

doesnt mean we are going to derail the entire channel to it

cinder nova
#

Can you upgrade embellishments during recrafting?

loud patrol
golden pollen
#

theres community/server/gold making discord that the discussion we had coulda been great for

silent spade
#

so what are we crafting first week? whatever we dont get upgrades in M+/raid?

golden pollen
#

then theres also just wow forum/sub reddit to see if u can get a thread going

lusty grotto
golden pollen
#

im saying you can have your discussion topic there, you might get more insight from people that cares about those more

#

His point was you would get better feedback I assume.

golden pollen
#

that

lusty grotto
#

im confused

#

i wasnt asking

#

it was a discussion on some statements that were made

trim bay
#

I have been confused since 91

lusty grotto
#

and all of us were in it

golden pollen
#

lol

lusty grotto
#

whats done is done

golden pollen
#

you never had to ask,i am just putting in my statement as a discussion did take place, but all you did was being passive aggressive towards people that seem to go opposite from your perspective with comment like " i dont understand" then ended up ignoring after a explanation. or completely shut off other good idea as well that just didnt seem to go with what you think

lusty grotto
#

???????????

golden pollen
#

thats why i also suggest there is also better discussion channel for your discussion topic

#

the only thing everyone agreed on was quality sucks on crafting in crafting orders lol

lusty grotto
#

im sorry i really did not understand who you were replying to

#

if you think that's passive aggressive, then i can't change it

#

but i dont

golden pollen
#

i made my point and i am going with that lol

lusty grotto
#

a lot of text was going up

#

and yours was made between lines

#

so yes i didnt understand at all

#

there's a handy reply button next to lines

#

could have helped

golden pollen
#

that might've helped but i was on my phone earlier with a screen that hates it when i press and hold on the screen so i couldnt fully utilize it

lusty grotto
#

understandable

sick sentinel
#

anyone able to craft a 5 star molten defender?

hushed bramble
#

Trying to get info for a friend, about the spark craft.

do you suggest the lariat necklace, I didnt really see anything in pins other than on embellishments

loud patrol
#

@golden pollen you can tag someone on phone by tapping their name

golden pollen
#

that i did not try, my bad on that one

loud patrol

Yes

loud patrol

Am dumb, I can't use my spark yet because of raid spec, I got the titan matrix iv from the world quest, what's the best ilvl shield I can get crafted? 384?

lusty grotto
fallen vessel
#

Not sure if anyone has talked about this yet and if they have It'd be great to get a link or something. But, has anyone talked about these for prot? Or what are some opinions on these? Do they seem like one is worth it or would they just get out scaled. For prot***

queen latch
#

I'm playing arms or fury in raid

lusty grotto
#

guys stop freaking out about sparks

#

youll get another on tuesday

lusty grotto

still holding onto my dinar from last season to make sure i make a good decision

#

Wouldn't say I'm freaking out about spark I just prob want to use it for a dps weapon so I can be better in raid

sick sentinel
#

Got my molten defender 392 thanks for the advice folks!

warm plinth
#

alright well

#

in return for the advice, where's my short rib grilled cheese sandwich

You have to come here

lusty grotto
sick sentinel
#

But it’s worth it I swear

warm plinth
#

wher is here

#

where

lusty grotto
#

uh oh!

fading halo
#

what build are yall going for raid?

lusty grotto
#

the pins one

#

with minor variations depending on utility needed

#

and then whatever parses better for ST

warm plinth
#

did you see that guy bail without telling me where to go for the sammiches

#

heartless

lusty grotto
#

xD

hexed obsidian
#

Anyone else main tanking for their guild for raid day?

digital frigate
#

Nah they have so many tank competition that I have to find one that will allow me but

#

I think they're rotating us to see who does well etc

hexed obsidian
#

I'm in a new start up guild where I got promoted to officer in, so that may have helped my case

#

Start up guilds need some love too

digital frigate
#

I always love the start-up guilds. Learning and teaching people is fun.

#

Especially with people on the same boat.

hollow parcel
#

what profession do you guys advice for Pwar?

digital frigate
#

I have spent all week undermining people selling M0's by carrying babies. haha

hexed obsidian
#

I'm a noob myself and just got lucky with being one of the couple people that started it

digital frigate
#

Nice dawg, I hope it goes well

hexed obsidian
#

M0 is not really hard, I'm immune to toxicity cuz I played ornn 2+ years lol

digital frigate
#

I am unsure what everyone else is going to suggest.

hollow parcel
digital frigate
#

Again, others may have ideas and suggestions.

hollow parcel
#

i went into shield as well but im not sure if that's the right thing or not

digital frigate
#

I think it's a good thing.

#

Personally.

#

What is the tree that leads into it? General armor?

hollow parcel
#

yea

#

i saw people go for wrists to avoid Tsets

digital frigate
#

Yeah, you can probably clean up wrists

#

Exactly

#

I would be onboard with that thought process and think it's very good.

hexed obsidian
#

Why enchanting for prot?

hollow parcel
#

jewelcrafting should be a better 2nd option right to make sure you can get the neck?

hexed obsidian
#

What bout blacksmith And plate crafting

digital frigate
#

I don't have any other reasoning other than I've always liked it.

lusty grotto
digital frigate
#

^

#

The person I play with is a jewelcrafter too.

#

But I've always enchanted our stuff.

lusty grotto
#

enchanting isnt a bad pick, and you can make some good money with it right now

hollow parcel
#

you need a personal order to make sure you don't get random stats right?

digital frigate
#

Yeah, it's my sustenance. I wonder if I'll swap later.

hexed obsidian
#

Getting the other materials is a pain in the ass, I gave up trying to figure out where to find them... Guess I'm going to be 350 ip for raid..

hollow parcel
#

so i need someone that im sure can provide that

lusty grotto
#

if you go for JC that is

#

but yes you can only specify quality in personals and guild orders

hollow parcel
#

so JC can't be guarantee? idk i didn't pick a second profession yet

lusty grotto
#

of course, but will you have the stats?

#

and the skill?

digital frigate
#

I think that it won't affect you so severely in the long run. The stat farming is a pain.

lusty grotto
#

as in, do you understand what you need to t5 it?

digital frigate
#

And then the investment to make the items to guarantee Q5 is also a lengthy process.

hollow parcel
#

i was able to get 382 matrix shield yeah t5

lusty grotto
#

i mean the point is, dont pick up something just because you need the item since orders exist

#

or, i should say, a particular item crafted

hollow parcel
#

i see what you mean so i can just neglect JC then

digital frigate
#

There's a.. uh /2 chat that has people spamming with proof of their quality too.

#

I don't know if it's the same for everyone else..

#

But that's how I got my ring made.

lusty grotto
#

yes, send a crafting order to someone and pick whatever else

hollow parcel
#

yeah

#

so when the raid is out what you guys going to use the spark on?

#

whats like worth crafting first?

#

neck i assume?

lusty grotto
#

shield probably

#

depends

#

us old prots go for shield 1st since its the highest defensive upgrade

digital frigate
#

You're talking about the neck that grants 12 sec boost to secondary stat?

lusty grotto
#

but honestly it falls to you

#

reminder that youll get a spark on tuesday anyway

hollow parcel
lusty grotto
#

seems like a good combo yes

#

as for which embelishments though

#

that's tbd, but neck seems the go-to

hollow parcel
#

Will the shield be replaced? i forgot what ilvl is max'd out

digital frigate
#

Yeah, it's the Elemental Lariat one.

lusty grotto
#

so the 2nd embellishment prio might change

proper wolf
#

any gear bis lists for prot?

digital frigate
#

The highest you can get is 418

#

408-418 crafted

lusty grotto
proper wolf
#

@digital frigate @lusty grotto

digital frigate
inland mesa
#

mythic diurna has a shield at 424, but that'll be a while, so a 418 shield is a pretty hot investment

digital frigate
#

So from M+ there's a solid shield as well and I am pretty sure I can push into M+15 and higher by week 2 if not the end of week 1.

modern brook
#

ok

lusty grotto
naive palm
#

think crafting a 1H is a bad idea ?

lusty grotto
#

not really

#

should be ok

lavish oracle
#

Which slots are going to be holding our embelishments? Two of the low stat budget slots?

naive palm
lavish oracle
#

Yes

mighty valley
#

don't think the jury has decided on best embellishments yet

lavish oracle
#

So my thinking is, embellishments would be better on slots with lower stat budgets since their ilvl is capped to low-tier mythic

lusty grotto
#

you cant do that

lavish oracle
#

So you're giving up less stat for their effects

mighty valley
#

aren't the embellishments more slot-specific than that though?

lusty grotto
#

some embelishments are perma to certain items, others are crafted in

#

so going for low stat slots isn't going to be a thing

lavish oracle
#

Okay, so, if we end up using a crafted embellishment like armor spikes, which as far as I can tell goes on any armor slot, it would be better on low stat budget slots, no?

ionic fern
lusty grotto
lavish oracle
#

My reasoning is that crafted pieces are capped to the same ilvl as low-tier mythic pieces

#

So in higher stat budget slots you're giving up a higher potential ilvl

lusty grotto
#

i dont think any of the crafted embelishments are worth the number of ilvls

#

they are just nice to have

lavish oracle
#

You're misunderstanding

lusty grotto
#

no i understand

#

just use mythic gear over crafted

#

you can move embelishments around anyway

#

the crafted ones at least

lavish oracle
#

Ah okay

lusty grotto
#

youre not required to be at 2/2 equipped embelishments

#

its not mandatory

lavish oracle
#

I'd heard embellishments are like 1% damage which sounds better than 6 ilvl on a belt, but I can't tell

lusty grotto
#

well i dont have off-hand data

#

but if that's the case then, sure i would go with what youre saying and try to put them in low stat budget slots

#

but keep in mind

mighty valley
#

imma keep it real with yall, i have not planned ahead at all, and will not be looking into enchants or consumables or anything until raid day

lavish oracle
#

If we can move them around, I'll just wait for sims to show me the way

lusty grotto
#

things like elemental lariat can't be moved around, its a perma embelishment

#

its only the crafted embelishments such as Spikes, etc

mighty valley
#

i spent a spark on shield because shields are cozymode

#

and put spikes on it because that sounded cool

vernal vale
lusty grotto
#

ill put the spikes in as soon as im ready for a recraft

lusty grotto
ionic fern
#

Always.

lusty grotto

My co-tank farmed renown 25 on Maruuki and used the 405 matrix on a shield.

tis maybe a dumb question, but is there any skills i do not use as a prot warrior lol

crit has ended up my highest stat for now withoug even trying

ionic fern

@ionic fern hi ily

lusty grotto

lol

well, talent rend and then pull it off your bars

ya i was thinking slam and whirlwind dont seem good

the true prot warriors

#

Just shy of 30% crit @lusty grotto

lusty grotto
#

im stuck at 20

#

for now

vernal vale
#

I used my matrix from last weeks m0 runs to get two more crit haste pieces

ionic fern
#

I need the best damaging stats to make up for my poor play.

vernal vale
ionic fern
#

Those with fear get BSV.

hasty barn
#

buddy of mine just said prot wars are not using d stand but serker stance to tank is that true ?

mighty valley
#

battle stance but yeah, so long as we're not doing any hard content why not

ionic fern
#

Your buddy is correct.

urban portal
#

bstance is the general play

#

youll swap into dstance occasionally

ionic fern
#

Make me.

mighty valley
#

it's like a nice little defensive CD except with no CD

urban portal
#

id imagine youll use dstance a lot more in mdi

slate kestrel
#

you just have to learn which pulls will need the extra defense and which ones do not

loud patrol
faint mural
#

what would you drop in the raid build to pick up Battle-Scarred Veteran if you need it?

#

It all looks so good lol

mighty valley
#

one of the shield charge capstones probably?

#

and then manage shield block

#

when you're offtanking

ionic fern
#

If survivability is a issue then jeah, Battering Ram, as that's a fully offensive one.

faint mural
#

Thanks! Is Thunderlord not worth it at all ST?

urban portal
#

not worth it no

#

could even take bloodborne/bolster over it

mighty valley
#

it's 1/3rd as effective

#

although idk how many raid fights this tier are commonly multi target

loud patrol
#

many tbh

urban portal
#

not only do they havea to be aoe

#

they have to be like constant aoe

#

and not add waves

#

would be bad on something like desausage

#

even if sasuage had 3 targets

loud patrol
#

i think Thunderlord will be good on 1 fight

vernal vale
wanton shale
#

violent outburst gives more dps than bloodborne? or do we take it for the extra rage generation?

mighty valley
#

both?

urban portal
#

bloodborne is bad in terms of damage

#

its both more dps and more rage

wanton shale
#

was just lookiing at the wowhead M+ guide, they only take violent outburst.

#

ahh ok thx

#

even in M+ with big stacks all bleeding VO wins in dmg?

pallid quiver
#

well, because if you're in that big of aoe, you can outburst TC

#

for big stonks damage

lusty grotto
#

VO def wins

wanton shale
#

ok cool i'll stick with it

urban portal
#

bloodborne likely outdamages at VERY high target counts

#

im talking about in the 40s

#

pulls that make mdi that look like baby

wanton shale
#

does the 200% TC from VO make the bleed from that big TC also 200%?

urban portal
#

no

wanton shale
#

ok cool

ionic fern
#

100k+ SS crits with Violent Outburst. wicked

modern brook
wanton shale
#

i'm prolly screwing it up, I just did one with bloodborne and without VO, so rend dmg was higher than shield slam, gonna try another one with VO and compare but I'm sure I just did it wrong lol

lusty grotto
#

:oof:

modern brook
#

Sounds like you're not pressing shield slam tbh

lusty grotto
wanton shale
#

so even without VO SS bonus, yall get more SS dmg than both bleeds? I'm screwing it up then lol, trying again

#

oh shit is SS dmg scaled with shield/block stats btw? Just swapped to prot and have 372 everything else but 340 shield

modern brook
#

No

wanton shale
#

ok then i'm just screwing up 🙂

modern brook
#

Based on ap like errything else

young mango
#

Can i only get 1 spark atm? For some reason i can Not geht a spark ob My alt

modern brook
#

Next is available at next reset

young mango
#

So 1 spark per Account

#

Atm wow

vernal vale
#

Well a 340 shield is not a lot of but even still shield slam should be a lot of your damage in all senarios

modern brook
#

Should be character

mortal brook
#

character

young mango
#

Oh strange because i dont have the option Go fuel the engine

lusty grotto
#

did you do the skip?

#

and did you use the map at the beginning on your alts?

#

if you did the skip that is

#

by skip i mean adventure mode

solid minnow
#

So just a question (im a noob).... Can i get the shield crafted for me if i do not have all the primal chaos ?

lusty grotto
#

not via public order

#

guild order sure

young mango
#

Not intentionally i did dungeons all the way i also had the quest where u fly through all the circles @lusty grotto

slate kestrel
#

as far as i know you can't place even a guild / personal order without providing all bop materials

lusty grotto
#

actually

#

yeah diogle is right

slate kestrel
#

i would be leveling a hell lot toons to snack their sparks 😄

lusty grotto
young mango
#

Wow and i also have to do the campain

lusty grotto
#

no

#

you dont

#

but you need to start it

young mango
#

Ok good to know

#

Thx mate

lusty grotto
#

aka you need to start the whole process

slate kestrel
#

just do the opening quests

#

but you should do the last zone to get to the trial of elements

#

the portal isn't there on default, is it? :S

young mango
#

Man quests again so much to do still

lusty grotto
#

...

#

my dude, its nothing at all

cobalt seal
#

Why blizzard allowed skipp8ng quests on first char

slate kestrel
#

the chromie stuff takes like half an hour or something? 😄

cobalt seal
#

Is out of my mind

warm plinth
#

skipping what quests

cobalt seal
#

Camp

limpid anchor
#

Camp?

slate kestrel
#

it's fine to do the main story quests at least once

lusty grotto
#

according to wowhead you dont even have to do shit, just get the Jump Start quest

young mango
#

It is but mandatory stuff shouldnt be skipable

limpid anchor
#

Ye they changed it

lusty grotto
#

Alt 4 had the Jump Start quest available as I got off the ship to the dragon isles. (Perhaps alt 3 had the same option - I didn't even think to check that fast). Definitely made to be alt friendly!) Alt 4 had the spark within 8 minutes. No fighting involved

limpid anchor
lusty grotto
#

if its skippable, its not mandatory...

lusty grotto
slate kestrel
#

well, nothing is mandatory... you could just gather herbs on the panda starting isle and don't even have to choose a faction 😛

lusty grotto
#

good point

slate kestrel
#

do whatever you enjoy and it'll be fine, i guess

#

Gonna be awful

#

slate kestrel
#

only spec noone is ever gonna complain about getting nerfs or shit

warm plinth
#

😂

#

Man it's extra bad now. it was bad enough in SL because you couldn't use legendaries, soulbinds, or tier

#

Now you are missing like 90% of your spells because they're all in the talent trees

lusty grotto
#

lol

slate kestrel
#

just wand your way to max level!

warm plinth
#

My friends carried me in a few 15s in SL. I think I topped out at 1k dps overall

#

My claim to fame was spam shackling mobs in Theater to stop their casts

slate kestrel
#

shackle is baseline though? 😄

lusty grotto
#

what a chad

slate kestrel
#

never thought about what is baseline tbh

young mango
#

Tbh if u are in a class discord ur attention is to min max. so in that case gear is a prio. And majority do player is bot doing rp and stuff.

lusty grotto
#

says who

slate kestrel
#

i'm in the hunter discord and i don't even have a hunter toon 😄

lusty grotto
#

yeah

young mango
#

@slate kestrel you wont be in a class discord if u only want to play the story and do rp

slate kestrel
#

had to min max that char selection and informed myself to not pick a hunter, i guess?

lusty grotto
#

🍿

young mango
#

And this is imo just a small bunch if player which are not interested in pve and pvp content

lusty grotto
#

i was still in disc when i unsubbed from craplands

#

doesn't mean anything

#

lets not generalize

young mango
#

Thats not the point

warm plinth
#

I had like...power word fort, shackle, pw:s, flash heal, and smite

#

and swp I think

#

and my cov ability (but no soulbind)

slate kestrel
#

sounds like enough buttons to press

warm plinth
#

Yeah, you just didn't have any talents modifying anything, nor did I have a spec aura

#

So I did abysmal healing and damage

young mango
#

If you just want to quest ur not in a discord cuz u dont care. I have to ask for Information which are important in a discord cuz ingame is not showming me

lusty grotto
#

youre generalizing still

#

we dont turn people away if they choose to do those things

warm plinth
#

I've been in Skyhold virtually non-stop since Legion and I haven't played a prot warrior since BFA

lusty grotto
#

maybe they do care about being the right talents for pet battles, it doesnt matter

limpid anchor
#

You can also be in a class disc just to chat with people

warm plinth

maybe youre here for a friend

the should add more blacksmith talent points to max out swordsmith stuff ... feels kinda meh just putting in points to improve overall skill after having done the 90 specialised ones 😦

young mango
#

Guys dont get me wrong. Its fine everyone can enjoy the game how they want. I just said i dont understand why i have to go back on my alt to enable the engine. This info i have to get from dc

warm plinth
#

what engine are we talking about? Is this something I should've done already and failed to do because I don't read quests

slate kestrel
#

the spark stuff

warm plinth
#

oh, yeah I haven't done that 😂

young mango
#

@warm plinth this

lusty grotto
#

Alt 4 had the Jump Start quest available as I got off the ship to the dragon isles. (Perhaps alt 3 had the same option - I didn't even think to check that fast). Definitely made to be alt friendly!) Alt 4 had the spark within 8 minutes. No fighting involved

warm plinth
#

I'll probably get my sparks like next expansion or something idk

lusty grotto
#

why are you even worrying about a spark on alt?

#

if you dont want to play them?

slate kestrel
#

why would you bother about a spark if you don't even pick a specc?

warm plinth

what if I want 1337 gearz to show off in venaks;fjwe;wjeo

man is your game

Don't read make him do four.

Don't make me get your father

#

here's a fourth time for good measure

#

Alt 4 had the Jump Start quest available as I got off the ship to the dragon isles. (Perhaps alt 3 had the same option - I didn't even think to check that fast). Definitely made to be alt friendly!) Alt 4 had the spark within 8 minutes. No fighting involved

dawn marsh
#

Yeah, if you have lvl60s just join waked shores and go to the spark quest easy

#

What do those code blocks look like on light mode

#

This is definitely not a trap to find out which of you weirdos use light mode

#

slate kestrel
#

#

dawn marsh
#

Limited drop pool is kinda 🍑

warm plinth
#

I have a foolproof tactic for dealing with the frustration of those rares @slate kestrel

slate kestrel
#

not doing them? 😄

warm plinth
#

I pretend they don't exist

dawn marsh
#

Just don't do 'em

slate kestrel
#

well, i'm just afking anyway... doesn't matter if i'm doing it near a rare spawn or in valdrakken

warm plinth
#

fair point

slate kestrel
#

at least i have something to complain about!

warm plinth
#

and after all, what is life with nothing to complain about

slate kestrel
#

what keys are you guys aiming for next week?

wanton shale
#

sorry for all the noob questions, still trying to learn prot. Heavy repercussion is also never worth taking? Easier to maintain block and on bosses if we're in a mostly ranged group it's only maybe 4% haste?

ionic fern
swift pier
#

hi what item should i craft first?

wanton shale
#

ok cool while i'm still learning, it's better for pure survival than into the fray haste bonus?

slate kestrel
#

whatever you feel comfortable with tbh

wanton shale
#

thx will try testing them out next week and try not to wipe too many ppl's keys pushing lol

#

do most of yall veterans hit +15s the very first week of the season?

slate kestrel
#

15s for sure, i guess

jagged pier
wanton shale
#

great gonna take it now. Any of yall stream regular key pushing? I should watch some runs to learn them

vernal vale
loud patrol
#

wow ff 15 truly sucks for me

vernal vale
#

While ITF because it's haste is more rage and lower cooldown on SS and SB

ionic fern
vernal vale
#

Which means if your playing well ITF is technically better. That being said I still take HR build in dungeons to easy mode block and slap more revenge and TC

ionic fern
#

Is my block up-time crap? HR
Is my block up-time OK? ITF

vernal vale
granite anvil
#

How is block uptime a rotational issue? Is there any chance to affect block uptime w/o HR?

limpid anchor
#

Bolster

granite anvil
#

Do we get necessary coverage for a dungeon with bolster and shield charge alone?

ionic fern
#

Huh?

vernal vale
#

We don't really need bolster it just feels comfy for some people. My m0s I ran I never had any issue but they are m0s

granite anvil
mighty valley
#

rule of thumb right now seems to be you need ~two shield block talents

vernal vale
#

Shield charge helps too with block time with its capstone.

digital frigate
#

I like shield charge

#

it is nice

vernal vale
#

Enduring defenses is a must take as well adding another 2 seconds on doesn't sound like much but ita huge

mighty valley
#

it looks to me like you give up too much to take bolster if you're only switching to it so you can take ITF over HR

warm plinth
#

I'm back

mighty valley
#

good

warm plinth
#

I am going to live at work now

#

Harrow are you looking forward to M+
