#

ty, I did but didn't see the raid section

patent hull
#

so to add the extra two gem sockets to necklace I need the rank 2 and rank 3 of Tiered Medallion Setting?

#

looks like the rank 3 is for ilvl 415 stuff

wary plume
#

#

How much do I need to shoulder press to tank +10? I don’t want my guild to think I’m weak

grave crane
#

135 military press should be enough

jagged pier
#

nothing

#

they are fine

#

Yea just stand there

#

Snd press buttons

#

did some keys today, there's a lot of damage flying around :D

edgy grail
#

Get something thst tells you what to kick if you dont know the dungeons

#

Plater mod for DF

#

Or something

gray bane
#

but about to do raid, so trying to figure out a build - I assume the raid one from the icy veins one is fine?

gray bane
#

cool yeah saw those as well, I'll look a bit what's different - thanks!

#

anyone having the initializing issues again sadge

tender cove
#

Is it worth doing the weekly stuff anymore, trials, feasts etc?

loud patrol
#

it should

#

scales with ur ilvl

slim dove
#

yup, got 2 392 pieces from them this week

tender cove
#

ohh noice 😮

jagged pier
#

thing is u can do them later in the week

polar raptor
#

also have world bosses too now, hope their loot scales as well

jagged pier
#

after u have even more gear

#

First thing Rage wasted is way to high. Which means your not hitting buttons and that's the second thing your CPM is still low.

heady gyro
#

I am little confused on crafting the neck. I have rank 3 materials. If I do a public order how do I know what quality I will get? I don't see an option to ask for a higher quality

cursive burrow
#

You cant.

#

Need to find a crafter who can guarantee then put in a personal order.

#

Afaik.

vernal vale
#

Your blocked hits are low considering how easy we can keep shield block up now.

proud dock
#

u guys make ur own m+ routes or use others'? if so, who's a reliable route provider?

elfin scarab
#

in BV still better than Fueled by Violecne?

strong forum
#

fbv kinda owned in AA

lusty tiger
#

fbv is handy for pulling or no uptime situations

#

@strong forum have you been running IO at all?

strong forum
#

no

#

i play 5 tnak

#

O ya

u doi

#

i do

#

Are you tanking a majority of the mobs?

#

Does divine toll ever rip threat (if pallys even take that)?

strong forum
#

yes

tender cove
#

If i could get anything... ANYTHING besides trinkets to drop, that would be great, thanks.

lusty tiger
#

So I imagine the damage is lower because you’re getting aoe shield throws, Sigil, shockwave(maybe?), incap roar(maybe?)

loud patrol
#

got a shield from the weekley ;_;

short vale
#

which weekly calc? accord? 😮 what ilvl?

#

any1 know ppm for bloods of khansguard?

calm sapphire
#

wow, battle scarred scale seems so damn weak

loud patrol
#

it is

#

toss it out

calm sapphire
#

it's literally there because my previous trinket was like 320

#

and it's 379

#

the moment I get a good one it's gonna be an ilvl stick in my bag

onyx matrix
#

is it worth running rares now still? do they scale with your ilvl? cheers

loud patrol
#

same answer yes

cool ty 😄

#

Question on the WoWHead BIS List. It shows Mythic gear as BIS (obviously). Would it be generally the same list, if it were Normal Raid?

long swan
#

Ilvl dependent

#

If you have a 405 piece from mythics is better than the gear from@normal

#

Etc etc

eager thistle
#

right

chilly brook
#

Get items

#

Equip highest ilvl

eager thistle
#

got it, thanks

#

so dont like 'try to shoot' for specific stuff? just put on whatever is highest

chilly brook
#

If you have multiple pieces of the same ilvl then equip better itemized pieces

wary heath
#

slap on everything higher

eager thistle
#

ok

#

Thank you 🙂

chilly brook
#

I mean obviously there are “best” items from a raid that you’d want

wary heath
#

glad my first M+ drops have all been neck pieces

clever egret
#

Thoughts on spell block for m+? Do y'all run it? And if so what dungeons?

wary heath
#

6 in a row

chilly brook
#

For example gavel last tier as a dps

long swan
#

Trinkets from raid are busted though

#

Keep that in mind

chilly brook
#

But in the meantime you just equip whatever is an upgrade

long swan
#

Lol

eager thistle
#

awesome, thanks

chilly brook
#

And as a tank it’s even simpler

#

Ilvl is king

#

With the slight exceptions of jewelry and trinkets

lavish oracle
bitter plume
#

does anyone know what two pieces of gear i should make and what embellishment should i add?

mighty valley
#

when I pulled big in Brackhide and saw the number of casts I thought "hmm, this might make me try spell block and/or the interrupt shout" and then I remember it's not even in the rotation yet

azure ivy
chilly brook
quick geyser
#

Question, is there a reason we arent taking Bloodborn? Given a larger emphasis on our bleed damage?

lavish oracle
#

Yeah, some of the higher magic damage dungeons might warrant it in higher level keys

mighty valley
#

not very efficient per talent point

lavish oracle
#

But for now we're chilling

azure ivy
#

Spell block seemed pretty strong option for halls of valor

chilly brook
#

It’s not a bad talent per se but the trade off isn’t advantageous

mighty valley
#

yeah, try and figure out what two points you'd drop for it - they're likely good points

lavish oracle
#

Bloodborne is a good talent but we have so many good talents

quick geyser
#

Understood — it’s a matter of what else we’d have to give up vs take it

mighty valley
#

i'm getting flashbacks to watching MTG streams where chat would always say "why don't you run X card, it seems good"

#

and the answer was always "what would you cut for it"

quick geyser
chilly brook

#

Are y’all still taking FBV given the bug?

lavish oracle
#

Ye

wary heath
#

YES

mighty valley
#

wow, rockslide is STOKED about fbv

wary heath
#

sorry I meant i take BV

azure ivy
#

I started playing in end of bfa, so I didn’t get to play legion but in a 7 halls The boss to the left hits like a t Truck, I tried spell block during his storm phase and it was pretty good, but I get it, seems pretty niche

wary heath
#

the wording confused me, there was no nerf

chilly brook
#

Hyrja?

azure ivy
#

Yes that’s the name

#

Lol

chilly brook
#

Hop in the zones when they pop up and don’t stay on one side too long

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tender cove
#

What about bsv is it thats bugged?

mighty valley
#

it's not bsv, it's bruv

lavish oracle
#

Brutal Vit is bugged

tender cove
#

bruv scared veteran? xD

mighty valley
#

BRUtalVitality

azure ivy
#

Yea, Um it kept deleting the entire group, I had to solo the last 15%, which I’m not sure why, guess bad healing by the mistweaver I was wihh to

mighty valley
#

it's bruv, bruv

wary heath
#

BV still contributes to a lot of healing if you are spamming IP

#

in harder keys your shield isn't staying up lol

chilly brook
#

Hyrja was notorious for one shotting dps and healers

#

You would literally swap to prydaz for survival back in legion

azure ivy
#

It certainly did that. Spell block saved me for when everyone was dead and I was hit with another phase, even when sitting in the dome the tick hits hard

mighty valley
#

i haven't done hov yet, of the dungeons i've done I think algethar tree boss is the one that strikes me as a problem at high keys/tyrannical

#

but i'm still climbing

lavish oracle
#

Is there settled strategy on whether to start her left or right side?

tender cove
# mighty valley it's not bsv, it's bruv

I'm confused, people are meming so much its hard to keep track of wtf is actually legit or not.
So Fueled by violence OR Brutal vitality?

And why is battle scared veteran bugged? In what way?

chilly brook
#

Isn’t it fort this week?

chilly brook
#

At least that’s what most groups did back in legion

azure ivy
lavish oracle
grave hare
#

Anyone know if there's a tool that can show/highlight the differences between two talent trees? I find it difficult to compare like 50 buttons when there are 2 differences.

wary heath
#

I use brutal vitality, blizz nerfed it for a reason, it's good interaction

lavish oracle
#

Or rather, thats what my gut told me

mighty valley
mighty valley
#

until it's dropped and you cast it again

chilly brook
#

Sorry I’m feeling snarky today

wary heath
#

it works if you also refill your IP with a fresh cast

tender cove
wary heath
#

people are too dramatic about it, like they are sitting at max IP shields all day in 10+ keys

chilly brook
quick geyser
#

So still do BruV over the other?

mighty valley
#

it's still up in the air about which one contributes more but it's also not a big enough difference to justify how much we angst over it in here lmao

wary heath
#

FBV is also good, you can run dungeons with each and see how much the healing is

quick geyser
#

Kk

eager thistle
#

What M+ would be a good starting point/doable with 382 iLv as prot? Never done M+ before

chilly brook
#

So it would pop on a normal melee despite being 100% hp

#

But I don’t think it’s doing that anymore

lavish oracle
#

I'm outhealing the healer either way

mighty valley
tender cove
#

Is it fixed though? I feel like it would be a nice set of training wheels so to speak

chilly brook
#

Pretty sure it’s fixed

#

But you’re playing prot warrior

wary heath
#

the only bug on it..is once you hit your MAX IP (which doesn't always happen) ....it will not continue to build

chilly brook
#

You are the training wheels

#

You don’t need another set

wary heath
#

so if you are taking incoming damage, it will keep building

#

it has a lot of value

calm sapphire
#

Yeah, prot warrior is the easiest tank I've ever played

tender cove
chilly brook
#

Ok

#

But you literally don’t sit in defensive stance

#

And you shouldn’t be taking damage

#

And whatever damage you do take is healed right back up from leach and indom

wary heath
#

lol

#

what

tender cove
#

Yeh, on paper that sounds great bro. Have you tried doing any m+ today?

#

Doesn't sound like it.

wary heath
#

have you done a dungeon

#

in your life

ocean prairie
#

guys where can i find the best build for damage in the different raid bosses?

chilly brook
#

Yea I have

#

And so have several other people who are good at tanking

tender cove
#

I'm happy for you and them, that they are so great they dont take damage.

slim dove
#

guaranteed replies

wary heath
#

I'm not talking about reducing AAs lmao

tender cove
#

I'm not. my group is not. And my pugs wont be either.

mighty valley
#

"take no damage" is definitely exaggerated if your group isn't kicking everything and stunning things that can't be kicked

oblique drift
#

What is the strategy you guys employ for the last pull before the final boss in Temple of the Jade Serpent?

fast knot
#

Your group needs to help you out

#

Soothing right mobs, kicking casts

chilly brook
slim dove
wary heath
#

there is damage outside of interruptable spells, and melee auto attacks, news flash

mighty valley
#

and yeah, it's raging week, if dps aren't being smart you can get chunked

chilly brook
oblique drift
mighty valley
#

it literally is though, all of this is a sliding scale of key level/group competency/ilvl

#

me, i'm not taking bsv because A) i trust my group, B) we have a lot of other recovery tools already, and C) it's really hard to drop points at the bottom of the tree

fast knot
#

I don't think bsv is needed I'll agree

lavish oracle
#

What are ya'll taking instead of Battle Scarred Veteran? Punish?

chilly brook
ocean prairie
#

guys please 🙂 where can i find talents optimised for the various bosses of the raid?

tender cove
#

All this talk in a vaccum what is needed or not. It's, i dont know the word for it.. delusional? Not in touch with reality? Living in their own top 100 bubble?

mighty valley
#

i mean cmon, in MDI they run cheat deaths, there are obviously ways to use a powerful defensive CD

#

is it often worth what you're giving up? no, but it's not insane to take while people are learning dungeons early in the season and mistakes are more common

chilly brook
#

I mean we’ve been through the conversation around BSV several times

#

General consensus always ends up “sure you can take it, but it’s certainly not needed even in high keys”

wary heath
#

bsv isn't a cheat death

tender cove
slim dove
#

lol

#

if the nerfs were a wakeup call

#

oof

tender cove
#

How many in here have done a +15 yet?

mighty valley
chilly brook
#

It doesn’t take a high level of play to be a solid tank

#

And if you’re talking about 15s…..

pallid quiver
#

hello i am joining in the middle of this conversation

i think the wakeup call is that you need to press shield block based on the actions of tanks i've seen while healing on an alt

chilly brook
#

Of course you’re probably taking more damage than you think you should

#

Welcome to early m+ EVERY first season

#

Gear makes a significant difference

tender cove
slim dove
#

yeah, in a few weeks we'll mostly be rocking 400 ilvl

#

BIG jump from 370s alot of people are at

mighty valley
#

anyway the debate isn't necessary. generally, work to get to a place where BSV isn't good. if it makes you more comfortable to take it now, go for it. don't be weird and berate anyone who's taking it

#

my only death so far was getting knocked off've one of the algethar platforms on purpose thinking charge would save me

#

it didn't

#

and bsv sadly would not have helped there

final gust
#

no path available sadgers

chilly brook
#

I wouldn’t call saying “you don’t need it” and “prot being a training wheel spec currently already” berating

tender cove
#

wasnt a single dungeon either

#

not me but the group

chilly brook
#

Thanks for proving the point

mighty valley
#

i literally said i have not been running bsv

mighty valley
open mirage
#

hey guys, currently with the nerf to lariat, which are the best safest crafts first?

mighty valley
#

honestly a lot of the time you'd be faster just wiping up and going again rather than grinding it out as the last one standing

mellow quartz
#

just had first boss in Temple have its graphics stuck when she cast the beam but it was still going behind the scenes and nuked everyone

#

#

funny trend of game development that the old content is way more likely to be fucked up and broken than the new stuff

tender cove
slim dove
#

#

#

Missed kicks/stuns and heals not knowing dmg profile is what's resulted in dps death. Week 1 of the season, so expected

tender cove
chilly brook
#

Is that the lonewarri?

steep wraith
#

Temple does also seem a bit rough compared to other dungeons too tbf

#

I'd happily swap out something for BSV when damage doesn't really matter for timing the key and learning what will one shot you is what matters for consistency in playing well.

#

I'd rather proc BSV and carry on than die, and eventually you won't proc BSV in higher keys and you can drop it

chilly brook
#

Timing keys is very simple

#

If you want to learn and be consistent, then this week is literally just play safe and hold W a pack or two at a time and don’t die

slim dove
#

^

final gust
#

but m-muh key speedrun, why can't I +3 20s like I was at the end of last xpack during WEEK 1

steep wraith
#

Learning your limits though

chilly brook
#

You’ll learn your limits through trial and error

#

It’s fine to fail

#

That being said

steep wraith
#

Yep, and that's what BSV is a nice safety net I feel

chilly brook
#

If you’re playing safe

steep wraith
#

To let you fail safely for a bit

chilly brook
#

And being consistent

#

You learn what packs are a threat

final gust
chilly brook
#

And which aren’t

#

And then you naturally start saying we can go faster

#

And double or triple pull here

final gust
#

if you're not doing the MDI pulls you're actively trolling

chilly brook
#

Without the need to use BSV because you’re making wild assumptions

final gust
#

or something like that

steep wraith
#

It's not too wild to think the last pull of temple won't clap you, it's just 1 pack

#

But it definitely will the first time you go there

fast knot
#

Doubts are spread around third boss room though

#

if people see mistweaver that ticked people out with cast because someone was late on kicking

#

they'll probably sooth that and potentially leave you to take a couple slashes that are Raging

ocean prairie
#

guys please raid is starting, what is a good dps oriented raid build?

mighty valley
#

oh cool you can spell reflect dark claw. get ruined losers

chilly brook
cursive burrow
#

Wait...what?

chilly brook
wary heath
#

Mob uses literally any ability, might not even be a spell ...me: hits spell reflect

final gust
#

Spell reflect is fantastic

ocean prairie
#

the max parse build?

final gust
#

I accidently spell reflect random crap all the time

#

if you're trying to max parse week 1 you're doing it wrong

mighty valley
#

if I don't know the packs yet I generally just press SR the second I see a cast bar

#

which probably means i'm reflecting some piddly bolt before the tank buster

chilly brook
#

If only we had a sheet or something

final gust
#

spell reflect leg sweep ez pvp wins

wary heath
#

why is leg sweep on there

fast knot
#

I'm thinking that's probably what happened

graceful sand
#

Should I be taking Shockwave over Roar for higher keys?

fast knot
#

due to just getting blasted due to poor soothe coverage

mighty valley
#

i will say that it's hard to internalize the important stuff on the sheet without doing the dungeon

wary heath
#

take roar and shockwave

mighty valley
fast knot
#

because that was getting through for massive damage

mighty valley
#

don't use shockwave as a dps cd

chilly brook
#

Because that seems fairly extreme assuming it was

graceful sand
#

Ah okay thank you

wary heath
#

temple pack damage is over tuned in some areas

mighty valley
chilly brook
#

Me dumb

mighty valley
#

steep wraith
#

I've spec'd into spell block since then, the only scary thing is magic damage really atm

#

Especially in there, 3rd boss, those packs

mighty valley
#

i'm not above 10s yet but i'm still not willing to give up tough as nails

wary heath
#

i spell reflect holy radiance to heal MY party for 30% max hp

mighty valley
#

SW, SR, and demo shout have tiny CDs for babies, haven't felt a lack of overall dr%

steep wraith
#

Probably when you get to 15s you'll want another button to fill in gaps that ignore pain easily covers atm

wary heath
#

never give up tough as nails !!

uneven mason
#

We're still the tankiest (least susceptible to bursts of damage) of all the tanks at the moment.

chilly brook
#

Yea

#

Imagine being a monk rn

uneven mason
chilly brook
#

Honestly the best safety net you have rn is probably defensive stance

mighty valley
#

there's usually a key level where tank survivability becomes the group bottleneck but at least in the DF dungeons it seems like unhealable unstoppable group damage will get there first

wary heath
#

you can go against the mold and just sit in defensive stance, timed keys this week is about DPS idiots not dying, not the TANKS dps

chilly brook
#

^

mighty valley
#

but if we're not dying in battle stance anyway, might as well shorten the pack's lifespan

chilly brook
#

That’s where I would start if I was worried about survival tbh

wary heath
#

anything above 10, my ass is mostly in defensive stance until im not 370 ilvl anymore lmao

#

i've gotten 6 neck pieces so far as my loot

#

so im strugglin

sick sentinel
#

whats the rppm on this thing

#

it feels like its less than 1

#

which is so bad

wary heath
#

because it reads so well, and has two meaningful effects. I assume this trinket is very very bad

#

that's how blizz operates

slim dove
#

yes its dogshit

wary heath
#

hhahaha , fuck

What about the Erranog trinket ? the fire shield + dmg, + refresh ?

a socket is worth roughly how many ilvls. Say, 372 w/ socket vs 376. Socket item better?

wary heath

i'd take the non socket cause it's gonna be replaced anyway and I don't want to buy a gem

at 372

that's a good point. I stuck a cheap gem in it for now, but I'll try rockin the 376

#

Quick question: Is Sidearm really better than Barbaric Training for keys? Or is it because the wowhead calculator swapped the talents (because they used to be in opposite spots)? I'm referencing off the pinned builds

wary heath
#

two different things at play here

wary heath
#

BT is a big increase to rage spending

#

side arm is just passive 2% damage

weary notch
#

Feelycraft warning: Barbaric Training is flat out more dmg for sure, but I think the sims show it as an overall survivability loss, especially with the 2pc set bonus coming up. I'm running it right now because I'm not taking a ton of damage and I've got so much rage in M+ that I sometimes can't spend it all with the 1 sec CD on IP

#

but in higher keys with a lot of dmg I suspect you won't want BT

wary heath
#

i think barbaric training is fine to take in keys if you already have a great management of rage and sense to not use senseless revenge spams

dark lark
#

But it's almost impossible to run out of rage with purely Revenge, it comes down to IP use if anything

wary heath
#

there's lots of incoming rage in M+

#

it's fine to take

#

I've only gone up to 12, though

weary notch
#

I even tried dropping bloodsurge in M+ and I was still swimming in rage. I'm only up to 8 atm, though

jagged pier
#

if u guys are swimming in rage with barbaric or dropping BS u are not playing correctly

rugged root
#

Am I not suppose to be spamming revenge when thunder is on cd

mellow quartz
#

guess I will react quicker next time

weary notch
#

I only hit non-procced revenge when I know I'm going to cap rage even if I use IP

wary heath
#

no one is swimming in rage, BT is great, just dont be dumb with it

dark lark
#

I'm just confirming that @strong forum is taking Sidearm over Barbaric in his pinned build

weary notch
#

and occasionally when I need to pick up additional mobs and my other aoe abilities are on CD

dark lark
#

Thats all I wanted to ask

weary notch
#

BT is fine to take

#

but Revenge spam is a net loss

wary heath
#

take both, you dont need to drop one or the other

#

otherwise nom will do more dps than you

dark lark
#

Eh I'm losing out on utility then, which I like having

wary heath
#

utility of what

rugged root
#

Okay I just curious

weary notch
#

that's my float point I use for bounding stride or Int Shout

rugged root
#

Was wondering why my dmg was lower compared to another prot tank

Show of force vs champions bulwark, which one does more dps vs each other?

wary heath

M+

Nothing wrong with that. But Bounding Stride can come in really handy at times. Int shout less so, but it's not useless

I would not give up int shout

what are you INT shouting

I mean, you can qualify all of this by saying: the pins are optimal. Doesn't make sub optimal shit. Just slightly less optimal. Play what makes you comfy

tender cove

they don't even claim to be optimal, just general purpose with flex points

I prefer the term justifiable

but some people overvalue the word optimal. Like "if I don't run exactly what's in the pins I shouldn't even attempt M+ at all

i think people are misidentifying ground swirlies and interrupts and soothables all as "unavoidable ae"

It really is

lusty tiger

I told my DH to pre blur something like that

#

He almost cried

mighty valley
#

the actual hard ae is tough but not unhealable

urban portal

and at higher numbers needs a big CD or personals

urban portal

It’s a healer nerf

uneven mason
urban portal

It literally wasn’t supposed to affect dps survival

lusty tiger

My DH was leeching 20k hps on the poison pack before the tree boss in AA

I double pull almost every pack because my healer has no choice

the dangerous stuff in court is avoidable, the vfx are weak and it has annoying LOS effects though

If you get lucky with profs you can skip enforcers, which saves a hefty chunk of time

edgy grail
urban portal
#

I’m saying for dps

edgy grail
#

Yes exactly

urban portal
#

Obviously it affects different specs differently

mighty valley
#

most of the dps personal heals are % based too

edgy grail
#

Defensives CDs that are not % are all weaker now after that change

urban portal
#

But in general the intent isn’t supposed to change

#

Which dps cds aren’t % based is my question

edgy grail
#

Literally healing your self on a class

lusty tiger
#

Ele sham??

edgy grail
#

Like druid

#

Shaman

#

Evoker

Or snything that is spell power based

#

It is now** weaker

lusty tiger
#

Mages

edgy grail
#

Yed blazing barrier for example

warm plinth
#

🤔

edgy grail
#

Or is thst %

warm plinth
#

What are you guys talking about

lusty tiger
#

I’m p sure it’s spellpower

warm plinth
#

Blazing Barrier is based on your max health

edgy grail
#

Yea the hit back is SP

lusty tiger
#

Ah

edgy grail
#

But yea like healing yourself

#

Word of glory is SP

warm plinth
#

Almost all actual "defensive" spells are based on either a percent reduction of damage, or heal you based on a % of your max HP

mighty valley
#

the dps versions of self heals are a tiny part of the defensive toolkit of those specs

fallen pulsar
#

Is the wowhead rotation/priority and opener correct?

warm plinth
#

Like if we're talking about like...healing surge, sure that's SP based, but that's also not what I'd consider a defensive spell

#

That's like a last resort when your healer dies, not something you generally would use regularly

edgy grail
#

Ok word of glory id a better example

#

It does get increased by missing health but that effect id based in missing % health not total health

urban portal
#

Wog is the same, you gotta be pretty desperate to use it

#

But yeah self healing hybrid specs did get weaker

warm plinth
#

If it doesn't have a CD, it's not a "defensive"; it's just a heal spell. That's my opinion on it.

#

Like you could call Exhilaration a defensive, but not like, flash heal

mighty valley
#

we're digging pretty deep to find the edge cases that were negatively impacted by this outside of the main intent

warm plinth
#

yeah

#

I agree

#

The vast majority of survival abilities were not negatively impacted by this

lusty tiger
#

To me- yay 40% more hp big D warrior

To my healer- why do +5s feel like I’m solo healing d-day

which one would you replace first

Which 389 ring

the damage proc or the shield

heavy temple

cobalt assembly

i can use both

but in like 12s

i swapped to shield

Probably the 382 would get replaced first if I was using the damage one

heavy temple

thats where i am currently 11/12

The shield is kinda meh I'd imagine since IP gets consumed first and it only lasts 12 sec iirc?

I'm pretty sure it's basically his same beam

Which is to say bugged as fuck, but it 100% hits where the visual is at least

chrome falcon
#

i think the beam is supposed to just rotate around the room

oblique garnet
#

Are you sure you didnt die to the water on the ground?

chrome falcon
#

but we had a pull where he randomly turned around

pallid quiver
#

There's also that

chrome falcon
#

so we avoided the beam

#

but then it just hit us anyway

oblique garnet
#

Because that also has a mechanic that can kill you if you move

chrome falcon
#

yeah no i know

#

but i assure you we were all just sat on a safe spot behind the boss

#

and we all died to the beam

oblique drift
#

Does Battle-Scarred Veteran apply retroactively, or no? As in, say an attack brings you from 40% hp to 5% hp - would that attack have its damage reduced by bsv, or would bsv only apply to the damage incoming after that?

pallid quiver

something something logs

chrome falcon
#

no

#

battle scarred procs the first time you hit a health value below 35%

WoTN works like you described, BSV does not

you get a buff when you go below 35% that's it

oblique drift

Hmm okay, yeah that makes it seem not super great

nah it's still pretty insane

It's not going from 40% - 0% really, it's that if an attack leaves you well under the 35%, you still have to receive healing extremely quickly or are in danger of death

because it takes so long for the torch to reach the mob
