huh i just noticed
Demonblock of the Iron Vanguard sounds neat for a pwar so ill go with that
you mean this one?

damn, i missed that title still sad to this day i didn't do it
😄
halls definitely fucks up newcomer pugs the most
its my only flex title next to the purifier
im actually duelist nobody impressed, on resto shamaneverybody impressed
Thanks mate
my group laughed maniacally when the boss sent us back down the stupid wave corridor
i normally run my insane title
as Chef Nimchip there's only one title i can use 😦
very funny joke, water man
i almost got insane but whiffed it
on the last day
and now im too lazy to recover
feelsbadman
im battle lord cause im battle lord :^)
i mean it still exists just no shendalar rep anymore
everyone knows the truly meta title is Jenkins
ya at first i confused it with the trial of valor title

meanwhile im happy with my brawler title
any1 having trouble grouping up mobs in this expansion coz they all keep casting uninteruptable stuff?
Los
im quite fond of Lord/Lady of War
@sick sentinel no
I stick with Brawler or Battlelord on my Warrior.
thats a cool one too
Paladin is always Crusader.
I choose my title everytime I login
@loud patrol in previous expansions it was specific pulls u needed to pillar this expo feels like every pull
once i go back to my Chef mog though, titles are over
i only need the gladiator kills for my warlord of Draenor title ;_;
blizzard and not fixing shit, name a better duo
or am i crazy
the lightbringer wants a word
Slimepp doesn’t need a title the name speaks for itself
lol ive needed Worgen kills for a long... LONG.... time
very happy to not become the trashmaster a hundred times every time i log in now
How come it’s ok to skin worgen and dragon
wait yours is fixed?
there's apparently only 5 worgen playing pvp at all times
Don't think I finished the class hall on Paladin. Only War and DK.
it's the argus meta title 🙂
only reason I did that hellhole
was for my paladin
Oh! Absolutely effing not.
killing 3k? demons was..fun
now lets flex mage tower appearances
I went back in BFA and got my reps to max. That's it.
paladin was my first char, I look at it now and it's a mess
I wouldn’t even do that during bfa
I quit in Legion after Nighthold AoTC and didn't come back until Nyalotha.
no plz im too bad for that
exalted 3xpacs in a row for every faction, then stopped playing it and it's all over the place
account wide rep when
I still like rocking "of the Nightfall"
having recently gotten it, conservationist is my goto, only because my war is only a pleb 1600 rated knight
I want the stupid flail from Azure Span but lolRNG.
im still mad i didnt got it
i only use it when im not in chef mog because stewart is the perma mog there
are rare profession drops not 100%?
that shield would be perfect for the tuskarr transmog
trying to get the hammer from citadal
Where did u get that flail?
is bdk actually netured now
mage tower apperance
its the mage tower appearance that you cant get anymore
now onubtainable
I hate u give me flail tmog
is there a way to increase my size in m+?
it sucks you cant get wod pvp titles anymore
coz my team always says im so small
Viagra
barely played then, but I'd get them no if they were possible
according to internet there are pills for that, but i wouldnt trust em
i'm thinking about trying bdk just, yeah i heard they might be not good this morning here, could be bias
theres a flail now in DF
there's actually a new flail mog from some rare in Azurelag Span
viagra doesnt increase size just keeps u hard
Imagine they add back mage tower appearance in their new Trading Post thing
i call it Lag Span 
It's a treasure...you get the map from RNG.
Well idk bout u but hard = size 4 me
oh, there you go
Locked behind server bandwidth):
xD
tfw only 2 blacksmith orders on my server
but honestly lag hasnt been that bad in Azurelag span lately
yall know of any good pvp vendors that take mark of honor that sell big one hand swords for my prot xmog set? just want a big sword that i can put an enchant on lol without the hard grind
for the latinos i remember a case in caso cerrado that a girl demanded his husband to make him grow his willy then 2 seasons later shes back to demand him to make his willy smaller 
1 is a renown 23 unlock, 10g comission, hell no
What did I just read 😂
i recommend just going to the appearance tab ingame, then type "gladiator" in the search bar
LOL
makes it ALOT easier 😉
cata had some of the best pvp weps no bias
ok thanks
That's how I make my gold. Sitting on 2 stacks for a big jump when Mythic releases.
everything post wod is like..who made this a child
okay so go to a cata vendor ?
sure, mop might have 1 or 2, but the pvp art is..lacking past that
yes
everything post wod
was made by a child
that's what I said
pvp gear that is
@cursive burrow should i buy a few?
wrath had some cool ones but are probably low graphics now
i dont see that as a bad thing
They should just add everything in the trading post
Oh I agree it'd be fucking great
If you play a lot, you should get cool stuff
You could...or just farm your own. Level a tank or healer through dungeons with bag bonus or do heroic when there's a bag. It's what I do to get them.
Legion would like a word
yea i agree, i understand prestige, but with most things prestige should be short lived and move to the next, cant hold on to your shit from 15 years ago and claim it's still relevant
my 2100 rbg title wants a word with that
:squint:
add mage tower apperances in trading post 
If its not seasonal and has been removed it needs to be in the trading post IMO.
Get rid of the BMAH.
There should be some Fomo shit tho. Like glad mounts and stuff
trading post?
I'm sure some people would lose their shit
yeah im not against it, flexing is fun but i dont think FOMO should be the play forever
Wow needs clue scrolls from RuneScape
some will with store mounts
is this someone "king" in another tongue?
cant handle that amount of based
Than gold would have absolutely no value anymore
@limpid anchor why I say leave seasonal stuff out.
mayhaps
it..alreayd doesnt?
ha
is it really fomo? its in a rotation so they will be back
gold hasnt held value SINCE wod
It would be SO FUCKING COOL I would actually collect tmogs
Yes, I agree. Also I type slow as shit on phone :<
no i mean unobtainable stuff
U want a thunderfury mog?1 bil gold
if we're talking mogs, i just want them to add inks already
corrupted ashbringer noises
oh
or dye. w/e
wow cant get dyes
I only want mop weapons :(
i hope the corrupted ashbringer will be back
purely because raids/dungeons have mutliple versions
Still so sad that I didn’t play during that
Why gold has value, even though there is plenty of it?
normal raid is a shade shitter than heroic which is shitter than mythic
Should have all black/white dye options
that's not a good enough reason
dyes/tints will never exist
no
that's the blizzard reason
I agree it shits, but it is what i is
^based
cant wait for classic andies to mald out of control 
xD
i'm saying it's not good enough, hopefully they'll come around like they have been of recent
I believe there should be a tax in wow, so every month people with gold in their bag, a % of it disappears.
a couple years ago cross faction play was unthinkable
now we're getting somewhere
I mean the Trading ]
Post is already a huge change for Blizz
runescape recently introduced a trading tax and has done wonders
we already have lots of shit that was previously "weapons grade copium"
This is why we need clue scrolls that can drop every cosmetic in the game(depending on tier of scroll difficulty)
we have clue scrolls
And all of this is auction house tradeable
you just have weapons grade pessimism, and fwiw i dont blame you, im just saying not to rule it out
archaeology shifting about furiously
Meh
Lmao
Nobody likes archaeology as it is xD
I wonder what would happen if blizzard implement this?
I’ve never done archeology
Next expansion :^ )
imagine reinstalling Archy
I was fascinated when it released in cata with the zinrohk wep
and the mount, never got either
xD
that 359 sword was the tits
Get out.
i think dye for everything would be a bigger can of worms than people might appreciate. but i could imagine a subset of transmog-specific appearances like the renown stuff now could work well with a dye system
it's seriously unituiative though
i don't get the wheelchair emoji
its not a can of worms, they just wont do it cause it means more work for them making new interesting models instead of recolors 1 through 5
or worse
theres a real simple solution
currently gear is tinted by difficulty
lfr, normal, heroic, mythic
They can't reward you the same stuff recolored 4 times if they implement dyes
tbh archeology will be back
Like all the transmogs in SL from covenant lol
those climbing, digging WQ that we have are the base for the revamp of Archeology
To be fair. I wouldnt be surprised if they implement cool transmog gear that you have to pay.
depends how the dyes work, if they're hue shifts the base color would still be relevant
if it's purely paint by number its a different story
I cant even get shoulders and a sword that have the same type of fiery red
I hate it
To be fair, there is a big difference in design from hc to mythic.
ok sure
From most of the raid tiers.
Yeah mythic is always a bit more deigned
mythic is set to 20, that's the design aspect
if i went to a producer and said "we should increase our armor art by 4x and implement a dye system without pushing back any dates" i would get shot in the head
and they'd be right to do it
I mean, that wouldn't be homocide?
thing is though, it's almost always going to be a win, vs pushing out more stuff that requires dedicated teams to constantly balance
tints being difficulty-specific is one reason for no dyes for sure, but not the only one
blizz mentioned at some point that making dyes for armor requires an engine rework similar to player housing
don't ask me how, but the way that they are handling textures right now doesn't allow for dyes
this is the only reason why i assume we don't already have it, it's not that simple unless it's just a hue shift, which will often just look bad most of the time anyways
As an exemple, for raid gear and dyes, ffxiv does it this way : normal mode gear is undyeable. Savage mode raid gear is dyeable.
Same model
and you'd have to color all or nothng, not specific bits of armor
Wassup guys anyone got some talent tree vamps for prot warrior? Aoe/Single
gear only has to be coloured 4 times over
pins
pins
because of the difficulties
Blizz is never consistent
i know, you've said that more than 4 times Kekkers
Just have an art team that pumps out cool relevant stuff every once in a while
And gate it behind the content it matches
twice but ok
also yes please, if they won't scale all content like the magetower to the original difficulty and give us the weapons back, then just put it on the trading post
it's not like mage tower has real prestige anyway, since people were just farming it in 9.3
plus, what someone else said of "prestige should be shortlived", I like that
are you suggesting removing the recolors from the difficulties or removing the difficulties entirely
Blizzards art team is honestly probably their only team that constantly produces Ws
Gate*?
I like nuclear option 2
let them at it
Ff14 also wasn't built in 2003
a true "see it difficulty"
😢 i got mine on week 2 of mage tower
The only cool transmog in the whole expansion from SL was from Castle Nathria.
Remember when they made lfr sets just a crap model completely different from normal and up ? Lol
but i agree with you
Clearly the shit they give us now is poop effort
you could yeet the gear from lfr entirely and like 2people will care
When you compare to what happend when league of legends upped their art team
It must said something about the artistic state of this game.
did you see the forums when they said group loot was coming to LFR
gz, but sadly, no one has any way to confirm that easily, so you might as well have gotten it in the last week of Legion 🥲
But, they have been updating the engine system, its not like they are using the same one from 2003
achievement dates
NEED NEED NEED
I think they could use an AI to upscale textures
part of that would be tier sets, even though they were going downhill near the end
at least
that was me, and i look at it like technology, if you want some new fancy TV tech, you pay a ton extra for it early, and the "gain" is that you got to experience it for a year or 2 before most others, it's not reason to keep that tech expensive just because you paid a lot for it early
i think you could use AI to delete your account
FOMO is just dumb
mildly harsh but AI art is death lmao
lets just agree with that
that would be a macro
Yes
it worked for GTA (kinda)
The funny thing is that Nathria wasnt a tier set. And Seplucher was the ugliest of them all.
If it took all of dragonflight to make a cool unique set for each armour type, I’m not sure anybody would be upset
ICC was peak gear art (if only it wasnt 2polygons)
But the covenant sets being rushed all at once and looking like dog shit each one of them like a high school art student drawing RP gear
Part of me, finds motivation to do mythic raid for transmog as well. Too bad, I rarely find something noteworthy of doing.
i actually didnt like ICC sets
How to slap someone from internet.
even moreso if you mean the warrior set
i didnt, i preferred the goat ulduar
I think I just yogi’d you guys because my phone stopped updating disc sorry
this just means they would need to invest in a deeper art team. there's entire games that have their monetization around purely cosmetics, the want is there, they just have to capitalize on it, ppl will continue to play if you give them things to hunt for
Honestly there is no warrior set I m a huge fan of
hey man, i thought the goats were badass
ICC sets sucks most of them
not a single set?
100%
in like 30sets you like?
most wow armor is pretty out of step with my tastes
Like nothing like DK nighthold set that makes me go "nice!"
except the monk sets from mop, they got a ton of extra love in their expansion
to think I used the AQ set for the longest time as a transmog
the purple was..something
uhhhhhh
nighthold sets are cool af
There are some good pieces. Tomb of Sargeras and Nighthold mythic onces.
well not warrior one tho
The only noteworthy post Legion.
AQ gear has got to be the biggest "what were they even going for" in all of wow
wrath and wrath 2.0 look badass, i think wrath 2.0 is probably my favorite one
bug-themed power rangers meet professional wrestlers?
actually still dont ahve the aq set
AQ gear is clown gear 
missing the cthun gloves
my favourite plate set is normal dazaralor
hides
and you couldn't even transmog it
Eh?
this is a cool set
tbh i just think the wow art team should take more chances, be more out there sometimes
dazar alor sets are cool af
onslaught 2.0 also looks great
I like the ToV set. Too bad you can't get the mythic one anymore. Another case of stupid fomo
you're not going to win over everyone anyways, throw some shit at the wall
you cant?
shame I'm a silly night elf so 90% of sets look..wrong
i got it end of bfa?
same as nightborne
dwarves got the best proportions for sets
Tell me you play death knight. Without telling me you play death knight.
plate just looks like... body paint
best of both worlds
I'm still trying to farm the lfr recolor
Looks like we have some imposters folks.
actually i hate dks
orc warrior has a problem that when u put on a shirt and a helm they look bad
now for being a free set, the tov set is good
Like Dota 2, let people create sets, set rules on polygon limitations, and people can vote/blizz can decide what comes in
they're getting better with it but i agree, more 3d assets in general, hell even cloth needs it, layers for robes looks better than a onesie
Would probably be much better tbh
you mean like the tree mount?
that totally won
sure, but the options were like a ..slug
nathria plate sets look amazing as well
and just better mounts
I find the ToS mythic gear quite appealing for my fury warrior.
this shit right here
never going to get to finish the heroic nathria set for another 4years
it looks great
as no one wants to run it
Fkn inquisitor nim
now thats good
i don't envy them, 3d gear elements are harder to fit to the huge number of character rigs they have to take into consideration
Nathria gear is also legit.
CN plate was one of the best sets ever made
Mythic Nathria and the Sanctum sets were pretty awesome ngl.
Sactum... Yikes
anyway they're not gonna make a plate chestpiece that beats bloody bandages for my character any time soon
What do you believe about the new tier set transmog?
it's fine, fits the patch themes, not to my taste
hopefully they can go all out on the next ones though
lmao
actual fishman
idk why i think of ash'ir
aquaman
There have been worse
Vashír
i like it too, just doesnt fit "dragons" to me, it feels like a better Zerith Mortis set
I like stone, favourite element from ATLA, so it somehow gets a nostalgia bonus from me
yeah i absolutely love the rock tier
For rock and stone!
i want more shit with scales like the Molten shield, and "most" of that accompanying armor set
i though it was gonna look like shit but they did a decent job for warriors at the very least
the concept art though
was amazing
is the crimson glad gear just arena gear?
english isn't my first language, but even if it was, rock and stone are the same thing to me
scales, bones, claws, teeth, wings, horns, etc
i want them to take another crack at the radahn-style helmet with hair flowing out of the back, only thing that works about this helm
yea
i like those, there's only 2 so far and the helmet color isnt great
imo
but make more of em
well, not that i dont like the colors, but there's little that matches it
A mediocre transmog. Even bad for my tastes.
so you're a nyalotha enjoyer

lmao
I always thought the nyalotha plate was cool on my dk
honestly, tentacle hair is something to work with. being covered in eyeballs and fins........ less what i'm looking for
have it move
they sorta had that gas mask thing
but it wasnt that great and was too small
I honestly. I am glad that I didnt play BFA.
with them opening up white and gray mogable gear, let that shit be the "generic fantasy" stuff, and let the raid stuff go wild
Tomb of Sargeras tier feels like warrior.
a void elf shadow priest with mythic nyalotha gear looks cool af
but your idea of warrior isnt my idea, isnt someone elses idea, etc
"warrior" means a lotta different things to people
Sir, this is #warrior channel.
it's broader than like, demon hunter
idc
like i dont like the valkyr direction we went in Legion for our class hall but others loved it
same, I like the more... mundane warrior fantasy
ToS tier = Tier 6 revamp
Eh, could be worst.
just remembered I've a purple set with the legion pvp set and the axe off cthun, an entire 2polygon axe
i wanted our class hall to look like Black Rook Hold
HFC tier = Tier 2 revamp
Sometimes revamps are good.
ToS was T6 but yea
oh right
Also, your opinion about Nighthold rier set?
but new nax was old T2
Mythic one.
/ t3
tbh the nighthold tier for warriors looks bad in a full set
nighthold looks like ass honestly
i think Asmon said it really well yesterday ironically, it's an awesome set that's so hard to match with anything else
those shoulders are sick, but dont match much of wow
guys is there a world where we take spear instead of Troar ?
I kinda like spear ngl
I believe that so. I had hard find to match with something like sword and shield.
pvp
no way we take spear in m+ ?
i mean you can but it's not useful
you can take it if you want regardless but it's less damage
well, it's not better
i absolutely hate NH tier
that talent choice alone wont hold you back though so go for it
It maybe look bad on orcs. But on Tauren it looks bulky and nice. Good theme for a protection warrior.
jesus it looked so bad right from the get-go in EN
Why?
since the off-set pieces had the same graphic
thats what surprised me a set that looks good on tauren and not clunky
cause it looks fucking horrible
u can play whatever u want, doesnt mean its the best. but if u want to play it u can play it
and tastes are personal
i actually do really like this new tier but man the tiny hips of Ztroll really show up with that set and i hate that
same problem with nelf
the dumb wings on the boots get me bad
Tastes are personal. But there are a few characteristics that are universally appealing.
not a hermes enjoyer eh?
lol
I don't see these because Tauren have hooves.
last time i saw hermes i ripped his head off
ToS set has probably among the best boots they've ever released imo
agreed krotos
manage to look tough without looking like metal Uggs
it was such a good revamp
nice front detailing and then the straps at the back, perfect
the new non-tier set boots kinda do the same, but a bit too simple on the back
One quick question. What is vulpera's racial that it make so appealing to m+?
I just can't go back to non 3d sets. I hate the flat texture skinsuits
first attack does less damage
first hits from mobs are our weakest
is a vulpera passive
because we take a sec to get rolling
Oh shit. Really?
and the racial takes 5% off the top from it
So broken.
its not broken, but it does add up
I mean, I just get a passive stamina.
your passive stamina is active all the time
sure but think like this
vulpera's are only on 1st hits
that means you get more healing from Indom, all the time
It is effectively small hps.
vulp takes less dmg once in a 5 min boss fight
its min maxy for extremely high keys
On m+ must be bonkers.
its still great, esp on fort weeks, but nothing is OP really anymore
apart from maybe dwarf in some places
anything concrete on what to use our sparks for?
no
a 2h?
but shield is a great start
Because I havent touched Alliance in my life.
we dont use 2H so....
here we go again
lmfao my b just realized I was in prot
Hi guys I have a question: I am currently playing veng dh at 70. I am enjoying ok, but I am getting prot war fomo. Do any of yall have both, and if so, could you tell me which you like better in m+ content? Thank you.
both are good, if you enjoy DH stay with it
dont fomo/fotm swap
Wow... I didnt know dwarves had so good racial as well.
is BV still bugged?
dont fall into the fotm trap, tanks are closer to each other than in any other exp release
how they play is super personal too, so best we can say is try warrior yourself if you're super curious, but dont swap for fotm, swap because you like one more than the other
yes
I enjoying havoc much more than veng though. Played prot in the past but wanted to change things up xpac. Regerts.
Kewk
Prot is still above the other tanks, VDH is harder to play for the same result of a prot warrior
wrong
for sure, and that's another good reason, if you play the offspecs a lot maybe that could swing your vote, but its all personal

Not wrong
yes wrong
Go play Vdh. It has lesser skill curve, so you can do higher keys with him.
can you avoid it by just never capping IP
devils advocate, he's not wrong, but the difference we're talking here isnt something massive
and if you're able to capitalize on the difference, you're not asking that question anyways
A day 1 prot will never be as good as a day 1 any other tank imo
Prot warrior has so much more room for error than the other 5 tank specs
disagree
Ooh geez
the whole "prot is still above the other tanks" is what gets me
Lol...
jesus christ these new guys
Isn't that the M0 helm atm?
Try not to have shield block active in high keys. Then tell us.
Hurr durr streamer said it’s busted
That's kind of where I am at right now. Thanks for the info everyone!
Exactly why I hate fotm players.
its gonna happen
and its gonna happen a lot
especially this week
so i hope yall ready
Hahahaha. @sinful mortar gets baited to play protection warrior.
Prot warrior have basically been invincible since prepatch, tanking +30s and 15-20s on beta
I always wonder if people who say that actually play tanks
At a respectable level
"My wife's boyfriend cousin plays prot and he told me it's busted in high keys with low skill"
@sinful mortar protection warrior isnt better than vdh. You need more skill for the less results a vengeance dh can pull.
can you explain specifically what makes us invincible as you claim?
Ye same, on every other tank(except pally and bear)
These class discords always a circlejerk of "my class is so hard and bad"
No one says it’s hard
that's not it at all
It really is lmao
ok im still waiting on your explanation
We just saying that you are bad and an streamer echo chamber
Protection warrior is crippled if you dont have shield block active.
lol

still waiting....
It’s not like prot warrior is hard but what are you comparing against? Bear is piss easy as well for example.
Hahahaha
i know it's not going to be relevant very long, but how have your experiences with https://www.wowhead.com/item=200563/primal-ritual-shell?bonus=7935 been?
its ok
better than nothing
its also my highest ilvl trinket so
of course go fire and dont look back
Fire one did some good dmg in the one m0 I tested it
Dude I was 3k rio on SL in 9.2, back then when protection warrior wasn't on S tier but on Shit tier.
thanks for the replies, I'll give it a go 🙂
Only I and an autist player played protection warrior back then.
I don’t think we will ever get anything :(
he's trolling, ppl are taking the bait, just leave it be
doubt
Ah why, it’s funny and it’s content
but it usually does fall into that
I mean, if he wants to troll, fine. But at least explain why vdh is worse than pwarrior.
its 100% a troll, he doesnt have to explain, he just has to watch everyone get worked up over it
like i said its a circlejerk in here full of bad players
^ exhibit A
🆗


Dude, I am not getting baitted. But lets be clear. There are thousands of people like him, that circlejerk that pwarrior is OP and needs to be nerfed.
so what
And to be fair, blizzard will nerf us.
It's not wrong to say that pwar is better than vdh
But both tanks are easy
Very easy
subjective
I mean, from my perspective, vdh has an easier curve to master it compared to protection warrior.
Protection warrior is more difficult than bear druids. Kewk.
🤷♂️
It's vdh. It's not like we're talking current Brew or something
more difficult =/= difficult
Exactly.
I respect people playing brm.
Bear was so easy I thought it was hard. 😦
plus, its all subjective, something simple for you or i may be difficult for someone else, not everyone in this discord is a high end player
It is objectively harder.
It is hard to stay awake.
Pwar is the best
and responding to people as if they were is why it's hard for newer players to ask genuine questions
Brew has gotten alot harder compared to previous xpacs
Because pwar is the most cool
No wonder all the bear druid npcs are always sleeping
It's not mindless button mashing anymore
Protection isnt cool because it is a cool class. Protection became cool because it became stronger.
There was a build on beta where Prot could out-dps mages just by spamming Heroic Throw
You're gonna have to do a lot better than that for evidence, lol
idk.. what about the single revenge one shotting a pack?
All that from a fotm POV. That is why this channel got swarmed by fotm.
No day 1 prot war is gonna be optimizing their rage gaining and spending amongst the other neat ins and outs of playing
yea but there's equivalents on other classes too, lets not pretend like we're the only class with nuance
To me- it is the coolest nuance
I mean, everyone has some rage mechanic that needs to optimize anyway.
Okok this doesn’t need to be a simp for other tanks venture
Clearly us being here every day we all think prot war is coolest and goodest
I feel like this chat has been invaded by FOTM slaves that have the most idiotic takes ever
always like this
for sure, i enjoy it too, and i only play warrior, but i dont want to fall into the trap of, my class is the toughest which is why im the best
followed only by the ppl who complain about the FOTM hoppers
Anyone have the link to the monk discord?
nah our class is easy as fuck right now
plz link
Was editing removed from this channel?
Will I seem illiterate forever because of apple
search peak of serenity in google?
i like how prot on average feels like im playing offensively more than defensively compared to when im on prot pal
Particularly when compared to the activity time of S3/4 SL
I think that it should be implement a class only per server. I would finally get rid of fotm.
Just no tank resource flows the way rage does
i just like making fun of them, but no hate
But it's not even just this Discord that's been rough recently. Serenity's had some priblem children, too.
New xpac feels, I guess
hot take, playing prot when you feel like you HAVE to play as defensively as possible all the time isnt fun, start of BFA for example
it happens
Generally all tanks play like that tho?
Anyone know if the "Pyroblast" cast from the add on Mythic Eranog is refleactable. I don't think it's on the reflect sheet ATM and I didn't get to test the fight on mythic.
Playing optimally defensively includes being offensive and aggressive
That is a thing for all tanks
And vice versa
take less dmg when it dies faster
Not just that
yea roles in WoW especially in high content are more fluid now
In my case for Prot Pally at least, it feels like you're investing in defense more due to SotR. It's just the feel rather than how it is
Everything ties together
think about it as actively playing rather than passively playing.
tanks play offensive healers play offensive
Yeah!!! All tank runs!! Lets gooo!!!
it's not enough to just tank or heal anymore
But I'm also mega biased towards pink class, so no one should ever hold my opinions as valid
but sotr IS damage
Sotr really has 0 oomph to it
i love those tbh i always do some with my guild
No feedback to it yes
thats another problem entirely
I was curious how far 5x guardian could get just using after the wildfire for healing
the true definition of bear squad
im assured
What do you guys think we'll see week 1? Easy enough to hit M15s? Or is that gonna be a struggle?
in your M+ nome? 🙂
depends on your group, there will be some people doing 20 carries
Reassurance rests in the sea
people doing 20 s maybe but people doing 20 carries press x to doubt
but 15s is a good goal to shoot for, 20s being nice but not likely without a group used to doing keys at that level in the first place, particularly undergeared
From what it looks like, we will be 1pwar 1vdh 2ppal 1guardian
yumy was already talking about it on his stream yesterday, it wont be many ppl but some might, we'll see, dont need to be on time anyways to get the weekly
Not brm? Sad...
depends entirely on your group
I'll have to pug two dps
if we're talking those kind of runs sure
I have prot war, rdruid, havoc DH friends
yeah well results may vary
in my guild people are willing to do 1-2h runs to get a 20
ill def go as far as i can
kekeke
hell i'll struggle for 2 hours to carry a 20 if i can get like 2-3 M for it
Brm would be huge cuz of their dumb aoe +5% phys dmg, but we don't have anyone that wants to play monk
no clue why ppl pay so much but they do
thankfully i have a WW monk 🙂
I think some people already have boosts booked for goldcap
yep, thats insane but that's the wow we live in
That is quite depressing.
we need like 15 tanks and 15 healers to cover our guild needs for next week
we might have the tanks but we might not have the healers
To be fair, the tank dmg from mythic raid isnt difficult.
Not on the early bosses.
It's about sending a message
i'm ignoring raiding for a while m+ and crafting gives decent enough gear
It can have some roadblocks to be fair.
is dragon games equipment stonks
Yes
do we have trinket sims out actually
Also yes
ok lemme just go do that
Hey! What embellishment are we going for our shield?
None that stand out
Any will do, or just pick none and wait until we have definite ones
Neck is looking good
Bracers are looking good
i mean we can recraft and add embelishments later
Ye but not if you craft hearth
Wait so if you finish a 20 in 2 hours you still get vualt for it?
Yes
yep
oh damn
All you need to do is complete the key to count towards vault
you can finish in any time and get vault
So I haven't raided in a few xpacs
How terrible of an idea is it to try and pug heroic week 1?
but if you want a full 421 vault you need 8 20's
football trinket IS stonks
You don't need to time it
Lots of people do that
Good luck
what are you/did you spend your spark on @strong forum
Should I suffer as DPS or try and tank? I have no idea what pug raid landscape is like anymore
like i said, its gonna be rough if there are more tanks in the pool
I guess I fcked up then by choosing this embellishment?
if you plan to pug, do it sooner than later, weekend pugs are a cluster fuck, tuesday/wednesday pugs are great
no? you can remove it on a recraft
Usually just tank swap, but positioning is the key.
... i should probably try to tank then to control the crazies
Oh, so if I recraft I can pick another one?
or just pick none and remove it
i mean if youre making your own groups you're good, but if you're applying it will be rough. More tanks = less spots
its an unfortunate side effect
but more tanks is a good thing
I see, ty
What would our second item with spark be? Ring?
Usually the tank is the lead. Because of how little spots are for tanks. They usually become raidleaders.
you can check out pins and maybe keep checking this week for updates
we will see
blizzard did say that raid diff would be a step down from SL
so it could happen
Limit is going for the RWF.
Oh! Then just accept picking shield and maybe go for what turns out to be the best in 3 weeks if shield isnt the best?
like the last 7 tiers
If I could bet it, I would put my house on it.
wdym? you get a spark tomorrow

we will see how Max and co do
Is there a gambling platform that allows these kind of bets?
yes
not for rwf as it is not sanctioned esports
Sad...
Dm me.
Men I’m telling you
unless you can do very custom bets but i don't believe that is the case
I mean like the pins says, it might be necklace and helm that will be the best, so I have already used one spark for shield right now, that means if I wanna change shield to helm I need to wait until the third spark?
say neigh to gambling
in my case first 3 sparks will go to weapon shield neck
🐴
then we'll see
Ok
why woudl you change it, just remove the embelishment
We will be swimming in sparks
you can keep using the shield without the embelishment
how do missives work
Just do the shield worry about bis when we get there
and it doesnt count for embelishment-equipped
you just put them in the crafting recipe
Yea but I cant craft any big ilvl piece without spark?
and crafters sort it out?
But you can re craft what you already have and remove the embellishment
yes
Not entirely true. You can craft a non spark item with a matrix 4-5 and get a high ilvl to plug holes
but they will prefer a rank 3 missive because it adds less difficulty
Then if I remove embellishment I will get a shitty ilvl item for neck in that case to use correct embellishment and then use my second spark for helm
If that turns out to be the best
he's probably reffering to 400+ titan 4 is beans
Gotcha fair nuff
you cant remove embelishment on neck, its perma'd. You can only remove it from Primal Molten Defender or pieces that use an embelishment slot for crafting
all high level crafts require sparks if you do 2 hands you need 2 sparks per craft
furry warrs in the mud
there are certain items with their own custom embelishments that cannot be changed
2 kinds of love I have. -Gambling, -Video games. Maybe both at the same time playing slots so...
and then there is a pool of embelihsments that can be added to any piece of gear
two weeks from now you'll get your 3rd spark, so you will be able to have all 3 @ocean finch
neck has a unique embelishment
the only limiting factor is how many embelishments you can equip at the same time
2+the food one
Yeah spikes probably not bis
Yea that was my conclusion, just that I cant craft a high ilvl neck and helm for example this first week cause I have already used one spark for shield
Maybe in aoe
that is correct
well yes thats correct
So we think that spending spark on shield is the move?
yessir
Yes
that is why people said do not use your sparks
most of us have
Full send
as has Nome
Is a full highest ilvl crafted shield bis?
i mean shield weapon are probably priorities
tbh no reason to save the spark unless you're WF raiding and need to save for a slot that got cucked
And are we going shield of the hearth?
@dusky canopy sus name
Well that is not correct, people have said use for shield, hence why I have used it on shield
we're not going hearth
na you want the other one
Ok ty gang
Most people are grabbing, yeah for that
I’ve been “Brew” before freakin monks bro
Yeah wasn’t sure if hearth embellishment was good
Since you can remove the embellishment later if need be
It's not that Hearth's embellishment is bad, per se,
pretty sure monks invented drinking
fair enough
its ok, its just not better than the others iirc
It's just that it's a commitment to that slot being one of your two
Wisco boys invented drinking 🤣
And Lariat is likely going to be one of those slots locked atm
ha
and crafting items on tier sets is not advisable at the moment for peeps that think about the helm
I'm personally assuming I ain't getting Lariat until 2 more weeks out because I'm wagering it's gonna be expensive as fuck and I ain't made of money
or you're lucky and a guildmate gets the recipe
the fuck's a guildmate
i haven't had a guild since mop
You guys have guilds?
hence why my decisions are,
semi-guided
I also made the assumption that I likely won't get reliable raid clears for anything, meaning my tier set acquisition will be slow, so I actually opted to craft Helm. It'll also let me see how strong that embel is in proper M+
i recommend like no other normal person follow my course
seems fair i will have 4 set in 10 weeks myself unless i see them in the vault
And people will hang around with 4 set week one.
one of the few things blizz needs to still correct, that gate on the tier making machine needs to come WAY down
unless you do a lot of splits and stuff I doubt that will be the case
Also, I remember that @chrome falcon has blocked me for some reason.
Soo, how much screwed am i going to be trinket wise when i domt raid ? Are there any viable and actualy good ones in m+ pool?
Isnt now group looted?
I think like, last I checked, every single existing trinket is ok at best, across raid and M+
yes but other peeps will need the gear as well
will still be doing splits to get 4 set week 1
i can promise if you're not doing splits to funnel, the tank CERTAINLY wont be funneled tier
I have a guild, I'm the leader, we all quit during 9.0.5 and we're slowly coming back, I figured at the rate my membership is returning I'll have a 10man heroic crew by 10.1, in the meantime I've got a 5 crew hungry for m+
is the trinket from first boss still decent?
you can at least raid for first boss on normal and heroic
if that trinket is still good
I'll probably do a weekly pug and recruit from it
might go on a 2/2/6 with guildmates for group 4
my guild already has 3 groups going to raid
might find some guildies alts to do a 2/2/6 otherwise no raid for me
but m+ and crafting gives decent gear anyway
if i can convince my friends to make a team we will probably need an extra tank
so if anyone is interested for heroic
do let me know NA side
Ok sorry just to clarify if I craft something with a spark
Recrafting doesn't cost another spark, right?
Correct
no
no
Tight tight tight
yes that's correct sorry
What are you embellishing it with
the shield?
yee
some people do spikes, i havent done any yet
i did armor spikes, just to feel something
spikes or take the other one with perma embelishment
you can remove spikes later if you want a different embellishment setup at least
can't remove the hearth one
might do the one with spikes because i can set stats
perfect for m+ then
its better than nothing
^^
pulling wall to wall then dying in 10s
Same but not the dying part
doing 30% before last boss in academy and having melee dps die in cleaves
in one pull
the new group damage paradigm is gonna generate some bad salty tanks
that pull is so freaky tbh
"i didn't die, why are you all so bad" when they pulled more than anyone could possibly kick/defensive through
there is quite a bit of unavoidable aoe
That’s what I’ve been saying harrow
if you're not careful
yeah harrow i've mentioned it a few times
We’re used to only worrying about our damage intake
Now we gotta concern ourselves with the group
there's the room in uldaman where even in m0 pulling two packs just generates a ton of group damage, I can't even identify where it's coming from

Are you guys enchanting all your mythic 0 gear or do you wait till a certain point because it will be replaced?
or someone like a dh pressing the hunt and beaming 0.001s into the pull
Shield with crit/haste and armor spikes
probably the dwarf casters
I enchanted all of it with cheap enchants
harrow
using cheaper enchants and focusing on the titan crafted, 385 stuff etc
biggest damage are them and the earth blobs on the ground
Since I'll take this gear into 15s quite quickly
alright cool thanks guys
Titan mark IVs are basically throw away no?
Yes
like don't put sophic rank 3 on a m0 weapon
i guess people are just not really noticing brown circles on the brown ground that cause a brown screen glow?
:))
and perhaps the dot stacking at the infinite dudes part
Like toss into a slot to get some ilvl but no big deal otherwise
Mark 4s are up to 382, can't do anything else with em, so use em
To get gear better than m0
