It's a pure dps check boss
Nothing else
If the adds dont die, you die, unless you have a poison dispel
Adds are absolute prio on that boss
Yeah I figured. But like, the second plants grow ( and get activated) it's just an utter mess
Thanks Nom. Just feels impossible on every other cast when he gets the spawns off.
you need to stack the plants
they spawn under players
dont have ranged dps off in the boonies
^
Yeah that we figured
oh and what i found helped
assign CD rotations
dont have all your dps blow everything on the first germinate
The first wave of adds has a long time before they actually turn to dangerous ones
So you probably want to save cds for the 2nd wave
Same really
It’s good to know I’m not missing anything though that’s all I needed.
Thanks for the tips :)
We killed the boss before 4th germinate so we were fine
Even with just being 5tank and nobody having drums
hey do you guys overlap thunderous roar with demo shout to maximise booming voice dmg?
thanks
hmm, Embellish belt on my DK guildie doing 1.2% of his dps 🤔
can u specify that?
throw ravager, charge + avatar, (maybe TC if you need snappier threat), demo shout, thunderous roar, shield charge, normal rotation from there
On average itf will do 7% more
sorry didnt read thought it was about threat
thank you!
Itf at 5 stacks is 7% more dmg than HR, but that's not counting nails difference
But only at 5 stacks
In my run I did 58k with ITF in AA 11 and 55k with HR in AA 11
Today
But my group also did alot more dmg in the 2nd run
So I couldn't yoink as much
Which is about exactly the 7% diff
17%
Okay well now it's 15.4% cuz I lost 200 haste
🤷♂️
Don't notice it
If you play battering ram you're always getting alot of SS resets
Turns out Having 45% uptime on +20% atk speed + 70% uptime on wildstrikes (another 20% attackspeed) is really good for SS resets
🙂
Has our mplua build changed any since the nerfs and feel of mplus now?
Na
I only changed from thunderlords to battering ram
Other than that I play the "basic m+ Build" from pins
Plays super nice
feels like i can almost rely on alternating tc - SS - tc - SS during avatar, insane levels of resets
not using booming voice?
Quick question, is slam useless for prot warriors?
Yes
Im still been playing with the one in pin havent changed anything been spamming 15 keys so its not bad
Thank you
It's not a bad build
But I seriously think battering ram is just better
Than TL
TL desyncs your CDs from Demo shout
You still get 2 demo shouts per pack even without TL
So it's w/e
But battering ram is WAAAAAAYY more dmg on bosses than TL
do people kill or skip the Flamegullet Dragon in Ruby Life Pools?
i tried skipping it 2 times, both times we ended up getting it on top of a pack
so i feel like its just safer to kill,, and skip something else?
I've just been pulling it up to +10 so far but it's spicy
gonna try it out btw thanks
The fire one didn't feel as bad as the storm one to me
If you have soothe you can kill it
If you dont youre likely going to die
for the affix? or does it have its own enrage?
For raging yes
ye ok so on other weeks just chug it without soothe
just about to head into +10 pools
Noticed the top prot player using honed reflexes. I thought it was a bait talent
never take anything seriously from "the top prot player"
right now especially, it's just a measure of who's had the most time and has a strong group
For the foreseeable future
a lot of really high IO prot warriors last season were running codex, which was objectively an awful trinket for us
Don't look take it too seriously what a 1hit wonder is running
the talent is basically one second off've pummel, you can decide for yourself what point you'd want to drop for that
In S1 SL, people who were dps mains played venthyr pwar with signet legendary
For their weekly keys
And got R1 that way
And people tried to make an argument that signet is really really good
And venthyr totally doesn't suck
Just because soem random /who got "high" rio with it
Take it with insane amounts of salt what you see on the leader boards
i'll only ever check on high rio pwarrs i know are good
I'm not gonna dismiss what the top players are doing. I mean it clearly works for them and that doesn't mean it will work for everyone. It is early to draw conclusions sure.
aka sense
Pwar works
Can the person who cursed me with trinkets only loot please stop? Plz? I beg you 😦
The tree is so good
no 🙂
That you can make very little mistakes
He's got 3/4 block talents, so he's set
GG you can tank high keys now
if you exclude the random 2h wep I got, i've had 6 trinkets in a row now xD
Just because he's doing 17s doesn't mean that his build isn't whack
There are things he can optimise, but the class is strong enough to not get punished for a suboptimal build
It doesn't matter enough
he's lost in the rating worship, nome, your words will never reach him
Tanks have insane skill expression compared to dps
You can run an optimal setup and still can’t beat naowh playing venth prot
i'm sure we could give you whatever build possible and you would still excel above average. Thats just being good at playing the game vs knowing everything about the class.
You just happen todo both xD
Aww thx
Like his build is 98% correct and he won't be stopped because he's playing 4 questionable talents on prot tree
Is all im tryna say
@strong forum next you're going to tell me that codex was an ass trinket
Question: how is bear compared to prot? Deciding between prot pala and bear for alt
Especially when major talents are already done
Not like you are giving much for honed reflex
Bear is alright
I think mwahi said he likes the kick cd
Nothing relevating
We are one of the specs that people make out to be more difficult than it is. Especially now.
Lot of overthinking among newbies to this soec
Spec
Yep
Bear is alright 🥲 aight thx
Especially if you play HR
I would have to see a god tier bear player
To get a more informed answer
Guess im just really bad. Like really bad haha 😦
God bear
I’m a top 50% bear player
Cuz I macro thrash to fur
It’s so bis
15s were no match for me
It's all perspective
Every tank is
But looking at preferences
Reloe is already doing 19s on his brewmaster
Ive been thinking since youre mentioning HR, ive got 35% haste w ITF /25% without is that too much?🤔
Despite everybody screaming how bad brew is 🙂
You can never have enough haste
Is there another spark available next week?
My main gripe with bear is not seeing my armor 😭
Every 2 weeks we get a spark
ah
Speaking of sparks, if i made shield last week. Should i wait for 3rd spark and see what's best?
I could be wrong on the amount of weeks
fuck it, I crafted the neck and the shield.
First 5 are time-gated
I'll craft weapon or neck this week depending on drops, 100% my first craft was shield
So 10 weeks
Aight
Is shield actualy bigger upgrade than wepon? Or is it just because in fury spec we can get 1h but not shield ?
This tbh
Is there an add on to show which mobs to kill and which to avoid?
I just went and used one and crafted my weapon
Hate Azure Vault? - Shield
Hate AA? Weapon
My logic for those lol
Mythic Dungeon Tools, and import a route code from a lot of websites.
I'll recraft my weapon when I get the matrix
And I used the 372 matrix for my shield
Is it good? I remember reading that it was kinda eh so I didnt even bother
As explained in pins
is the Shield of the Hearth a bad craft instead of Unstable Frostfire Belt?
All embellishments are hardly better than 1% upgrades
None of them do significant amounts of dmg or give significant stat gains
should i take earth or fire for the primal ritual shell?
Fire for dmg, earth for shield
I'm sure people will stress about min maxing embellishments all expac
Even Lariat?
mmmm the shield is definitely nice but i want more damage but i feel like earth helps a lot with the higher keys
That's 0.8-1%of stats overall
It is super dumb. I look at lariat as mechagon rings in a single item is all
That 1 socket or 3?
3
huh, wow
I imported one from icy veins but it only shows 77%
Is it Jade Temple?
Combing logs one damage dealing embellish to another they are so close it just doesn't matter
None of the embellishments will make you skyrocket anything
Yea jade
They're minor things
It's fine
Follow it, it does give the full percentage
I believe it doesn't count the upper floor in the library
Nome have you always been running The Wall? I've pushed up to +11 and don't feel like I've needed to turn that talent on yet
Hence why I armor spiked shield first spark and I'll lariat second most likely
Yes, it's very good rage gen
Oh damn this mythic tool is awesome
I actually prefer the other talent than wall in m+
The 2 shield walls have been alot better for some of these keys than the wall
Teo charges with AM is very solid
Generally, defender aegis edges out where you need SW within 30 second intervals frequently
For specific things
is challenging shout still an pulsing aoe taunt every second? Meaning you can pop it outside 14 yards and once you go inside, it still taunts?
Cause u dont need wall every pull, but u do need it sometimes for bosses like 3rd boss jade or every fking pull around 3rd boss jade
Ive been forced to play a defensive build now on 17+
No doubt about it
T_T sad days
You drop enduring alacrity for impenetrable wall?
Seems like a nice talent
do you think for higher keys immobavle objext is better than unstoppable force?
But I doubt you'll reach keys where it'll be "mandatory"
Before that your dps will have died 40 times over
raging nokhud is fun man
Would be better in raid probably hey?
Nah, raid is way more forging than high keys for tanks
But technically speaking
IO is super OP vs predictable dmg
Like disgustingly OP
Raids are generally higher in raid damage and DPS requirements
I’m thinking for razageth
Any tankbuster
raid is very scripted so you know what to do when
gotcha
Anything high damage that is telegraphed/timed
When is instigate better than blood rage? Is it with ITF? I’m finishing keys with 700 dev hits vs 1.3k rage from BR
Raid
ngl I feel like if I had a pretend banner aura that made me think I was still keeping it up through dungeons I'd play better
Stay with HR even then?
this sounds omega small for some reason
Wrist is 188 stats extra perm 🤔
Blood rage there but the acronym is personably scuffed by me
You got 2 embellishments for a reason
but wep and shield
so what 3 are bis
they aren't meant to be giga important
but i guess people go Wrist + Lariat + Weapon without embellish?
Don't need to embellish them?
yea what i thought 😄
gonna take a while to get all of them though
4 sparks for Neck + Wrist + Shield + Wep
Idk it's like saying 3 enchants/gems aren't important, like sure they're not, but they add up in the pile of minor gains
It do be like that
Or ykno
Get a 421 weapon/shield from vault
Cuz crafted only goes to 418
No but I did think of it before I posted
my luck doesnt work that way
yes, theyre all very minor gains that add up
but theyre all 1%ish
i will 100% craft Wrist or some shit, and then insta gain a Wrist the week after 🤣
20% with like 40% uptime isn’t insignificant but didn’t think it would beat it
What the fuck is this new language. EA? IO?
Blood is tieing with TC for rage
Immovable object
Immovable object, the shield wall charges
It’s shield wall in avatar and vice versa no?
Is there a "confirmed" site for routes for MDT? Or any works
Wish they’d fix brutal vitality
Oh maybe I'm misthinkin
You are correct
There's not much that'd monch a tank in keys atm unless you get pretty high
Even still
You're limited by group stops/dps living stuff
second i stepped into court it was like i was transported back to legion
then i saw how cucked it is compared to back then and got sad
What’s the most optimal use of CDs for dps? Is a revenge better then a shield slam or thunder clap?
Optimal use is cds on cd
I mean being able to shave 4-5 minutes off your key time by rng if the blacksmithing trap spawns is pretty bad
Is a shield slam proc more dps then dumping rage on revenge
How exactly do you get the 2nd spark this week?
cucked
give me the rng
court was a burner key anyways
Does it not always spawn?
Can anyone explain why these are so good for prot warrior?
They do good dps
watching a streamer use codex on their tank in real time
Crazy that trinket won’t die lolol
the shell does pretty gud dps
I have done 5 courts so far on my blacksmith, 0 traps
It gives either Damage, Healing, or Secondary stats
My first try had a BS one
But I didn't know it also insta-killed the miniboss if it gets close enough
Yeah, check your damage dealt as well
Since the damage proc doesn't show as a buff
its 1ppm
Yea you could kill 2 minibosses on it in legion
Saved gigga time
That's why they changed it
zzz
They changed it to 1
makes court boring
either you get the god run with perfect buffs or you get fucked on and burn the key 
Also love how I can have a party struggle on a +6 then my next go with a +8 is smooth as butter
Check bloodmallet maybe?
It's almost like m+ isn't solo content lol
How does lariat actually work? What is an elemental gem? Just my usual vers haste gem via ysemerald
earth/fire/air/water or whatever
welp
I feel Fire->Frost is easier than Frost->Fire on Kurog tbh
Since Fire is the only one that can get an oof tank swap
doing more healing than the healer 

Frost->Fire you can have the tank swap happen during the circles which sucks hard, but Fire->Frost it's after
Is it possible to remove and embilishment from an item?
or is my crafted shield with armor spikes wasted if I want wrist + lariat e.g.
tho now i notice treemouth spliter is not that good
hi
what % of overall dmg should be revenge on average?
cant recraft it
NVM
i had to repair it lol
but it doesnt let me rightclick it
it wont remove the embelishment
does anyone know what the max ignore pain stack is based off? % hp?
i have a bad habit to prio IP instead of SB
i can stack up to around 98k right now, 30 ish per use
30% max hp
thank you!
So, just checking in. No new pins... But, are we still feeling elemental lariet?
Cheers. 😄
that's all you need np
lmao
buddy told me hes gold capped every char on that server
I'd rather stab myself in the foot than pay 500k for anything.
tbh im starting to understand that recipe seems is like 0.5% drop
ever
until they add more op embellishments for season 2 (:

blizzard hasn't thrown us a curveball yet this expac
is lariat recipe BoE
ye its boe
epic
low drop rate
I'm a BS and maxed out in Large Plate Armor and Chest and still can't craft with a missive and embellishment at 5 star reliably. I don't get it.
are you specialized to use missives?
then inspirarion proc value
should guaratee r5 with inspiration proc that way
Yeah with inspiration for sure, not sure I fancy burning a tonne of alloy though until I get it. Haha
check the post that blizzard put about quality
don't think anyone can guarantee r5 without proc atm
Ah, alright then
took me 2 recrafts so not too bad
I can on the shield
I'll give it another whirl with some quenching fluid
how
i got r5 with inspiration proc
What's wrong crafter-kun, are you jealous of my skill?
What accessories do you have?
also didnt even put Illustrious Insight 🙂
and look at the bottom right
which is +30 skill
Yeah
it gives a massive buff to inspiration AND the proc bonus
true
It looks like Hammer Control is the GOAT.
can we proc the fire damage shield rare ring?
what embelleshment should prot warrior get for spark gear?
it is
anyone know?
That's what I'm maxing next.
but you still need like 120 points to max out 1 item
maxing out shield is like this... 120 knowledge points
not with base kit
we can with trinket(s) and/or tinkers
After the Brutal Vitality nerf is Fueled by Violence worth it if you're taking other bleed buffing talents?
Yeah, I've got the top picture in chest though. I just need the hammer control.
pins
I'm going to cane that.
chest is kinda sadge though, as it might be Tier piece 🤔
yeah i don't really see the point in crafting chest
I picked chest because I want to finish the mog. It doesn't matter which order I make it in, I suppose it would've been smarter to pick shield first.
kinda based
how do you stop the exhumers in shadowmoon from spawning spirits?
You can't.
they used to be in WoD
yea
a lot has changed 😦
they changed a lot
everything one shots dps lol
Yeah, you just can't. They're not that bad though. Don't double pull them because you're going to end up with a dead party as the casts go haywire for a couple of seconds while you grab aggro.
in the old dungeons
What you wanna do is walk over to the trash can and deposit it aggressively.
the ruby life pools last boss is crazy
so are the drakes and channelers
true the dragons are the worst
basically this place wants to have aggressive intercourse with your healer
lul
ill let them know
I like Ruby Life Pools. 😦
Except surprise red dragon. Can't forget about red dragon.
dragons you can deal with the mechanic
tempest channler on the other hand
cant stun cant interrupt
60yard aoe
Aye, bonkers.
not sure if you can los
Surely LOS works
if at 12ish level its already doing this much damage idk if its possible to do at 20
I was in a +4 earlier never thought to try.
If it does, then it's easy to deal with
TFW i have just 1 node thats close to full
Where would you even LOS it on the bridge is my question.
i really need to pump up the knowledge
Or do you mean High Channeler?
they have have the same cast
high channeler and tempest channler
fire channler is not as bad
Being ilevel 370, about what level key should i be reasonably ok to do?
MDT is missing them for some reason
Isn't it called "Tempest" when they cast it though
i think so
yea idk
but its the channel cast
that shit hurst like a mfker
3 rogue mandatory at high level lul
Yeah, I suppose I'll see. I got a +7 done earlier and we +3'd that. Keen to get stuck in. In EU and was raiding today so not had a chance to do any serious keys yet.
dang
I'd say she starts casting it about 7 seconds into the pull.
Actually 15 feels right
We might see some tuning done. Still early doors init.
also the fire drake will be a lust at higher key 100%
it has a ramping 60yard aoe below 50% healther
Yeah, the storm drake makes up for missing that with the insane breath. At least it's dodgable. 😂
you just skip the fire drake
yeah i dont pull fire
Surprise Fire Drake. How do you avoid him? By going back on yourself. He jumps down on you at a certain point.
wait you can skip that shit?
duuuuuuuuuuuude
what
oh
i guess that makes sense
holy shit
ty
My feedback is that the shit is still lagging 😂
not the storm side
Waking shores was lagging today for me. Prob the primal farms.
tbh is not that laggy anymore
holy shit +10 pools is not for fun
Hey I just thought of something
Since it’s more of a stats thing and we know our stat prio but we don’t theorycraft it to like old style breakpoints and everything
is there ever a reason to killall the small Fire guys on the 2nd floor of Pools?
Only because they're annoying and get in the way
Only issues in keys for me so far are ruby life pools last boss and pretty much most of NO sucks, haven’t done shadowmoon burial ground yet and I think halls of valor is the easiest
Wouldn’t we actually wanna prio crit over vers? At least while talented into wild strikes and until we have enough crit to crit with autos reliably within that 10 second buff duration?
Last Boss in pools isn't that difficult. Stack left and focus dragon first. (Melee should attack storm dude if dragon isn't available because it's doing dragon things)
Easy for me but lots of aoe damage for my group
For your viewing pleasure: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/how-to-prevent-tanks-running-at-mach-6-through-dungeons/1447058/61
They only tried this after years of letting it run rampant. Most tanks/players who liked the original Cata difficultly 5 mans left long ago. They introduced a self-selection bias and trained the players to be this way. Of course there would be pain to change course now. I don’t know which game would have a larger playerbase if both existed, tho...
Can we pin this for comedic effect?
Making it harder won't stop me from going mach 6. Why do you think I play a Warrior? 😂
it seems armor spikes in so so about 1% damage
do people kill the stone guy patrol in First Room of Pools? 🤔
I pull him yes
I do, he's too easy to accidentally pull anyway.
And dungeons can be hard
it's part of the first pull
They’re literally scalable
3 packs together
im talking this guy
if you pull him in first pull youre insane 😄
or youre doing skip
either
oh the patrolling one?
I believe he's talking about the second one
trying to teach pugs to do the wall hug to avoid whelps is kinda trolling though it seems
Many Whelps left side!
how to do wall hug: you see that wall? Walk along that wall and don't go in the circles
i feel im getting way too much count though if i include the Dragon + the Stone Patrol
then im at 110% 😄
That first pull feels like a lust. There is 3 casters in there that cast Ice Shield. Lol
Flamegullet
insta skip
seems hard to skip for pugs
got Flamegullet many times on top of packs cus he just random lands
well yeah you basically have to traverse as a team immediately after he goes away then pull the next pack to the side
so you don't pull flamegullet
people manage to catch aggro from him
basically
they stand where he lands, and boom dead
so its probably safer to just kill him
even though nasty
fort flamegullet is fucked
but if someone can show me how they do % on the lower part of Pools, id be happy
cus i clear the entire last boss platform as well
where do you find that?
cant find it so ye
thx
hmm, also skipping Flamegullet
need to figure out the tech to skip him then i guess
basically pass as a team as soon as he leaves then take the next pack and go to the side
to the outer edge i guess?
yes
there is a spot
towards the nursery pool to the outer edge
G13 take it up the small stairs
Is omen not working?
that
doesn't affect what stats you drop
You'd lose the ability to drop shields and tank trinkets, and get the ability to get DPS trinkets and 2Hs
anyone on NA make the Embellished rank 5 infurious helm of vengeance
Tank trinkets are almost unanimously memes
Unless they make some really early bangers
Only good actual tank trinkets you could count on one hand in SL.
I doubt they'll change their tune here.
god dammit someone tell sense to stop fucking squeaking he's making me freak out when i see he has 30 more CPM than me

dude outdps'd me by 12k on kurog
and i'm just not seeing where all that damage comes from
what you wanna do is press your buttons
A lot
and then summon the almighty power of Sense
right
but like
he did 2.1 million damage with SS in 81 casts
i did 1.6 million in 78 casts
Maybe you were not bracing for impact. 😄
essentially identical talent builds
he had 1% more crit than me
oh no
he was running ITF
idk if that makes THAT much difference though
Were you keeping Brace for Impact up though? What's the uptime on it?
what
if he wasn't then I'm pretty sure he's just not pressing his buttons because it lasts like 16 seconds
brace for impact uptime is like
yeah
what
if you're not keeping up brace for impact
you're tabbed out
You'd have to go out of your way to not keep it up realistically
It's easy to keep up but, I have no idea who mattacate is... The amount of Prot Warriors I see that don't even use IP is staggering.
ITF is definitely more damage than HR but it wouldn't explain the difference in the SS damage obviously
is it still possible to get the titan matrix for 409 crafts
ok honestly
looking at it now
it might just be a gear diff
he has 7k strength i have 6k
(he obviously played better i just didn't realise i was so behind him on ilvl)
remember when people weren't convinced that a 24% str buff from banner was really worth it
Harrow i'm telling you
I just had the worst +7 court run
for a very long time
people didn't realise the strength buff also extended with glory
Hey, how many stacks are you guys taunting at on Dathea? Wowhead says 2, but I feel it wasn't enough for my stacks to fall off, had to hold it till 5.
I don't vibe court at all.
i had to tell the stormforged in here that it did
in 9.1
when i was on my pro-banner crusade
i felt so bad it was a guild run lmao
i never played legioon
is ninja pull city
man, i think everyone got so hung up on "buff my TEAM? no WAY this is good"
yeah if you never played it's weird
court has near-invisible instakill vfx, dense patrol mobs, goofy LoS mechanics, and a million things randos can click on to ruin the run
Try this route: https://wago.io/QFKWFQBKR - It was designed with Pug Friendliness in mind. So, should limit how bad things can go. 😄
but once you've got all that down, it's really fine
is the rotation of prot warrior noob friendly?
thank you
what three buttons
once you know what you're supposed to do, it's very easy. but it must not be very intuitive because most people don't do it right
I wouldn't say it's 3 buttons. To play effectively you're pressing way more than that.
the core GCD rotation is three buttons, yeah
is 3 buttons
(plus execute sometimes depending on tuning)
skip the bridge? thats possible?
Yeah, you go down the stairs at the bottom of that picture and come back up.
it's fewer buttons than BDK or paladin have to do in their core rotation
okay
as compared to bear? sorry newbie here
bear is the most braindead tank of all time
so if you're struggling with that
you probably just need some practice
I've found that if you go across the bridge 85% chance a pug is going to pull the two mobs on the left.
Anybody have current Spell Reflect spreadsheet?
but i would say prot is similarily quite easy
pins, scroll down
Thanks
says the guy who can't even keep up with Sense smh
pog
Mate... I can tell you now. I'll be farming that trinket all season. I've just had the worst luck with trinkets so far.
had ruby life pools 3 times so far 😄
so guess thats my luck for doing that shit dungeon
how do i get to the guard posts safely to destroy them
my key is literally just pingpong from Pools to Halls back to Pools back to Halls
anyone hear if BV has been fixed?
You can just walk up and press them. The mobs look like they're in the way in MDT but, they're miles away.
oh ok
sads
are we just doing insane amounts of damage or did I just have bad dps two times in a row? was second in damage in both dungeons I did
Depends on how much damage you did
Im sure this question has been asked a thousand timed but ive been working lol. Is everybody just crafting Elemental Lariat this week?
But probably the latter
Good DPS will clap you.
i feel like im monitoring Seeing Red too much to get the most out of Violent outburst with a juiced up thunder clap on aoe
an outburst'd TC is only somewhat better than an outburst'd SS
so don't stress it too much if you're still figuring other stuff out
you're an outbursted ss
thanks
and even that is only true on high target counts
I straight up ignore it. I can't be arsed. It'll be whatever I press when it's available.
owo
thats the spirit!
if you want to monitor seeing red
I just pay attention for single target
you should do it to ensure you use it on SS for ST
yeah exactly
using outburst SS on aoe? fine
using outburst TC on single target?
weeping real tears
idk what am i gonna do without these
outburst TC instead of outburst SS in single target is like turning TC back to wet noodle damage in comparison
it feels so bad
And I think it's at like 4 targets outburst Avatar TC hits harder, maybe 3, with UF in play now
i remember we had this discussion in here at some point
How does one even farm the turtle shell
Is primal turtle shell just a drop from random rares? I have a 372 one but wondering how I’d be able to farm a higher item level one as I gear up
One lock friend trying to create macro to auto use lock stone on me if not aura_env.button then
local r = aura_env.region
aura_env.button = CreateFrame("Button", "ConsumeButton", r, "SecureActionButtonTemplate")
end
aura_env.button:SetAllPoints()
aura_env.button:RegisterForClicks("LeftButtonDown", "LeftButtonUp")
aura_env.button:SetAttribute("type", "spell")
aura_env.button:SetAttribute("spell", 20707, party1)
how to make that this code cast on party 1
sry for flood
yeah it comes from most of the super rares.
kill rares every day
A question for the weakaura discord.
This is Skyhold, mate.
pretty sure the common strategy on overgrown ancient is to kill all the little adds while they are burrowed underground
cuz, every pull i did on that, they'd spawn, eventually get up and walk at group and overwhelm
had a good day overall?
yes, got 10 keys done, with only being on half the day 😄
pretty good and the fat trinket to show for it too 😛
i bailed on that group, we wiped like, 4 or 5 times on that boss
got 4 pieces M+ loot 🙂
im jealous. Done like 15 runs today. Gotten blazebinder i already had and feet. 😦
I spent half the day running with new guild and lets just say, having 345 dps didn't make things go smooth... pugs have been a bit better but highest is 10
and still dont really understand the affix xD
nice nice
i did +10 Halls untimed, halls is confusing as fk to go into fresh 😄
but i think i got there eventually
whats confusing about it?
go left, lust hyjira or whatever her name is
im still looking for a proper WA for it though
I dont really get when you need to clear or not, the wa just says clear with a timer on it and sometimes it marks with 2 skulls or w/e but still stunned both of us
ye its more about what to pull/skip and where you can actually run without pulling mobs
so bit confusing
but ill get there with more pulls
can basically pull minimal
you gotta backstep alot
to avoid damage from trash
yea i know that part, but that leaves a lot of pats that are easily butt pulled
i did so myself a few times 😄
you will always get 2+3 of +/-
4 people will touch each other, and the last will just time out
yeah gotta be gud not to sidestep into trash
its very easy to go over % in halls
and i had no idea how the beer worked, so it just despawned in my hands 😄
and also the animals in the other zone
tried to pull bulls, but seems kinda hard to make pugs not pull the dragon
especially with Quaking 😄
at what point does fueled by violence become better then brutal vitality?
or do you just always use brutal in m+ instead
i pug everything though
stop pugging
i solo all content from now on, kthx
but why did we get stunned if we both touched?
the 1 guy i used to premade with, swapped from Unh to Blood, and wont do anything other than tank 🤷♂️
so guess im solo this expac
if you both have the same debuff then you don't clear
you have to touch White -> Black
gotta make friends with people you like. I've had 3 healers add me today asking for more runs 😄
it's anduin mechanic
I would clear everything in the actual halls bit and get the last % to reach 83% for the final room up top
ye i added a few people today as well, but i feel i would still call them "pugs"
anyone high level miner/bs?
yes
ahh, okok 😄
how did i die on council
Will they nerf prot again? My buddy is asking me what my back up is caus he's saying they're going to keep getting nerfs. Not trying to meme just don't wanna hold my group back
i ignored pain so hard it killed me without me knowing
my dad works with ion and ion says prot is ok
We're not giga broken or anything but I suppose they could
Ok, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks y'all
@strong forum https://twitter.com/liquidguild/status/1603125794821197824?s=46&t=SNgfsiNdvQDxMfWOmxF0ow look how sleeper ppal is man
what do you do when they keep nerfing spec? keep playing spec
easy solution
playing warrior is never trolling
prot pally feels pretty great to play tbh.
if you think you are "holding your group back" it is not because of your class tbh
well, nothing really changed from sl to now but it still feels pretty good to play. Always liked it.
any advice on dealing with the last pack of temple? I was getting hit with 150k claws
are people still playing BV with the bug? Or do I play FBV?
Bros as a first time tanking mythic plus I think the hardest part is getting to 100%. Last 2 dungeons ended at 97%and 98% after last boss death
import some routes
just go back a bit and kill a bit more, or find a route and learn it
what i usually do is when im learning a route, i screenshot it and put it in Paint on my 2nd monitor, so i can glance over and check what to pull next
when in doubt
im personally still running BV, its such a low impact talent anyway, and i dont really wanna keep checking up with "is it fixed?, oh so i have to swap back now"
it will just be fixed when it is fixed
its rly just a talent we take to get to Tough as Nails
I'm sure people are. In the end I don't think it matters significantly one way or the other until BrV is fixed.
The difference is negligible
what about battering ram vs Champion's Bulwark
Damn when I played Ret last season I just followed the tank and face smashed the keyboard now I need a second monitor lol
I think you only run Battering Ram for ST
Champions Bulwark for SB uptime, Battering Ram for ST dps
thats the tank life brother
all dungeon tech is on the tank to know unfortunately
tank plans the route usually 😦
Press W and pray
I guess it will all come to me still on week one
My play is like this when I'm learning a new dungeon. I make the route in MDT to get to 100% and I make a mental note of any packs that are off the beaten path (meaning I have to deviate from "pressing W" to pull it). Generally there's not a huge number of packs that require that, so it's easy to keep track of. And other than those packs, I can just go straight through until the point I'm doing skips.
And then as you learn what stuff is skippable and is worth skipping, your route will naturally evolve
I just did nokhud where the mobs seem to be all over the place
I dont recommend doing this in azure vault, if you pull around the whelps, you really have nothing to pull, except the whelps with their packs and its a shitshow.
And that last pack b4 the 2 big guys is nightmare mode
or you have to run like really far to get to the next pack, jump down etc, takes lon gtime
Yeah open dungeons like that tend to require a bit more forethought but generally it'll just be like okay I go to this boss area and I need to kill this many packs around this boss
for the missive for the lariat if i run fury ever so often should i do haste/mastery or stick with haste/verse
You could just do haste/crit
Gives you two of our best stats and their middle two stats I think
You'd have to recraft it I think but yeah you can change it later
how do i make sure someone crafts it 392 as a public order?
what path are y ou guys going for mining?
How do you measure strength vs 2nd stats on trinkets?
Sim them
For dps that seems to always favour the strenght ones but from a defensive pov?
Feels like 450/450 haste/versa is a lot now when so undergeared?
Probably not best , but i went for mining from mount and then whatever that gives most perception
It's possible that defensively the secondaries might outweigh the primary, since strength has no effect on blocking. But that being said, trinkets are literally never going to be the reason you live or die beyond like...a shield one or something like that used to soak a mechanic (which if you need those, you're probably playing wrong to begin with). The stats aren't going to be the gamechanger though.
Fair enough 🙂
you guys ever see spider boss refresh web shot on the off tank even with current tank in melee with aggro?
Absolutely.
damn 100k for this damn neck
We were seeing it a lot tonight.
BV still bugged ?
ok glad im not missing something
serious question - how do you level up blacksmithing when you're stuck at like 60-70
any counter play for it?
you can't craft anything at a really high level so most people jsut go to people who already have max rank
and with spark of ingenuity being so limited, nobody wants to waste it on a lowbie blacksmith
is it just me or does this seem like a really failed system where the people who max it out really early get all the business and everyone else is left nothing pretty much?
Honestly, we couldn't figure it out tonight.
We were taunt swapping at like.. 2 stacks and it was still popping off.
i was under impression that season 1 dungeons were going to be based around mostly or entirely comprised of the df dungeons, so that we all learned them
didnt play legion at all, so gunna be failing alot in the legion dungeons.
Going from tanking nokud to academy is like night and day lol
that and i had to bail on a group earlier tonight for academy dungeon tree boss, nobody was killing adds fast enough theyd awaken and we die, group said its interupts (boss or elite tree ad?) , dungeon journal mentions killing non elites
ye same issue here
i saw comments you stack the entire team 1 location and then all adds land there to be cleaved
this was just on a zero
oh lol
i think they were attempting to just lust snd burn boss and ignore adds
but it sure wasnt working
should i put multiple gems into the neck?
Yes, you should
i dont quite understand how i got one guyed by soke random m0 boss bjt ill attempt that again tomorrow
Are you referring to overgrown ancient?
So if your damage isn't high enough, that fight will start to truck the tank very quickly because you're going to have max stacks of the poison, the bleed from the big add spawning, and the tankbuster which gives you a physical damage taken debuff
The appropriate strategy is to stack loosely (ideally moving roughly together to keep the add spawns in a small space). The first set of adds should be able to be easily killed before they activate. The second set will always activate right away.
And then the big add needs to be kicked every 10 seconds to stop his heal, and the group needs to be close to him when he dies to remove the bleed
ya. for our group the debuf cleanse mechanic solved our issue. we didnt know that :> , after we purge the debuff every add, its easy healable and killable
man we gonna get nerfed again ain’t we
Eh, it's possible but I wouldn't say it's certain.
Naowh sure is trying to make it happen
how so
He could obviously be too trolling
🤷 I think nerfing us because of raid survival is probably a bad idea but Blizz has done stupid things before. It's likely because of the damage profile of the boss fights
If a lot of the mechanics are blockable, then naturally we'll excel where other tanks might not
agreed it could prove fatal to m+ tanking if they base their changes off raid
Yea i like how he talk about war like this now and when in s4 they wanted to nerf bdk he cried all over twiter, so then blizz just put som wrist slap nerf on DKs that changed nothing xd
Yeeeep
Anyone done these elemental invasions? See it gives 385 gear
Not like Blizz is balancing tanks on Naowh's say-so anyway so I wouldn't really worry about it
kinda wish they’d just relax a bit and let us gear and scale. I like the constant change/feedback. However sometimes the changes are too hasty. Not sure their internal testing is robust enough
Have you attempted the git gud strategy? (kidding ily)
Not like you'd be saying that for a fuckin reason or anything amirite
Tree boss in agelthar academy on a +9 was intense, somehow managed to barely pull through the dps check
Survived on high stack long enough to clear it
No poison dispel in group?
Nop
scary
Very 😅
Any tips on dealing with the last pack of jade?
if i want sum1 to craft me a rank5 weap and they say they need me to set work order to rank4 to "inspire" for rank5 -- is this legit or some sketch?
@shut summit I was creepin up on you but had to run EW since it's so good defensively on this fight
(Mungbaldo)
Last pack of Jade is cds or pots, take your pick
Going into it empty is a death wish
what two gems do i put on my neck ? the same ones?
How do you guys deal with the tree boss in academy? He seems astronomically harder than any other boss
yeah the haste>vers ones I believe
At what point are you dying? He has mechanics that need to be done properly or you will die
it's during the add phases, typically the second round
so after the fourth overall germinate
and are you dying or the group
one or the other generally
I find it extremely hard to get aggro before they pop
and challenging shout is on too long of a cd to use twice in that fight
jesus the weapon enchants are expensive
Well you can't get aggro on them before they're active. Step 1 is that your group should be stacking to drop the adds.
yeah they're usually all over the place by that point
If your group doesn't stack for the add spawn then you're kinda doomed to fail
What weapon enchant for M+ is the better way to go? Seems like so many are split
it seems really difficult if you get bad timing with thundering
usually thundering is up during at least one of the germinates it seems like
Are you suggesting Blizzard didn't think things through about how an affix and a boss fight would interact
lol I dunno man, but he is seriously just crazy compared to every other boss
Thundering is completely random placement right
the stuns are as far as I know
No I mean like where the swirls go, they don't go on people right? Just randomly over the area?
honestly don't know, but they are pretty big so people tend to scatter from them
Gotcha
Yeah that's a shit overlap for sure. The group just needs to do the best they can to at least stay close-ish to the boss even if they have to scatter a bit. If you can't get the adds under control then you'll have a bad time for sure.
pew pew
hmm well I'll just try to get my groups to stack as tightly as possible in the future
Logs from 2night.
What got me wondering...What are you doing in an m+ having 3 cpm? Like, what is that person doing there?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/NRVFzcTHaDxr26mf/#boss=-2&difficulty=0&wipes=2&type=casts
Taking in the scenery? I dont get that. Isn't that pressing 3 buttons every minute?
if im using 2 gems for my lariat does the ability only scale off 1 gem or does it double with 2?
