and if you are like my guild, 5 shield are gonna drop the first time you kill it

ionic roost
#

pretty sure Lariat is worse than the other options, at least for keys

sick sentinel
#

In-case you dont raid, then makes it relevant to craft a high level shield. At this point.

plush tendon
#

but need to find someone with shield specilization

hushed harbor
#

Any recommendations for that last trash pack in TOTJS? I feel like I had max IP, block, wall, def stance, just throwing everything at it, and when the large mob spawned more of the little ones I got chunked down hard.

sick sentinel
ionic roost
#

just dont kill them all at once

dusk loom
#

Can prob just do first boss on any difficulty for a shield (not saying right now) as the first boss is usually free

plush tendon
#

Eggnog is really free

lyric elm
#

eggnog is like drinking pure christmas

plush tendon
#

same with Terros

deft vessel
#

unbuffed stats in battle stance, is okay

#

mucho haste

#

Thank you I feel much better now

lyric elm
#

its the dps fault for dying to unavoidable aoe tbh

#

just dont die

cobalt grove
#

@dusk loom kite them out of pools of crap. Interrupt and stun as well. And spell reflect judiciously.

ionic roost
lyric elm
#

only the first boss is hard

cobalt grove
#

Yeah that place is all about just knowing what to kick and what to kite

tender cove
#

for the small price of 8.8 million, you can buy several lariat designs and start printing your own money.

hushed harbor
#

Can the big mob be interrupted/stunned before splitting off the small mobs?

cobalt grove
#

The water ele?

lyric elm
#

well overall i like the dungeons a lot more than shadowlands

cobalt grove
#

I don't believe so

hushed harbor
#

The one before the last boss in Jade. The one that spawns the xploders.

cobalt grove
#

But the little adds can be stunned, just don't stand in pools that go down when they die.

#

Oh

#

Yes

#

Yes they can

#

They can be cc'ed in general

lyric elm
#

0.9s cast so

#

hard

#

he'll just sequence it anyway

deft hazel
#

man pugging is a pain xd, why every pug dps doing sub 20k overall

sweet summit
#

i would not play this game if i had to pug 🙂

dusky canopy
#

Pug life is rough some times

#

Right now you don’t have score to help sort out the bads

lyric elm
#

yea

dusky canopy
#

And most people doing 12s and up are with there groups

safe shale
#

I think the biggest issue with pugs isn't even their damage, it's the interrupts, which is wiping them.

dusky canopy
#

Totally

#

Kicks season

#

Basically have to run melee comp when pugging and hope for the best

lyric elm
#

i watched dorki a bit with 16+. he's basically a raid leader organizing all the stops they have in order

#

or they just instantly die

sweet summit
#

i have to do that too

#

it is not fun

#

idek if the dps players know what they are kicking and stopping

lyric elm
#

and they die anyway, that said. its not easy

sweet summit
#

since they don't if i don't say anything

lyric elm
#

like he just falls over

jade pulsar
jagged pier
#

no

jade pulsar
#

that no is towards me, or?

dusky canopy
#

Blizzard thinks they slick.
They’re like ok fine we’ll give you back uncapped aoe, then proceeds to make a shit ton of casters that have to be ccd or you die.

#

Community Trolled hard

#

kicks are fine but its better with interesting mechanics

#

you might as well have all the mobs have abilities with "kick this or die instantly" because you'll never see the mechanic anyway

safe shale

I mean, even with all melee and a pally healer it's not even guaranteed lol

Im gonna have to do that

tender cove
#

having the cancer dragons in ruby having their aoe scale with raging is just a pure dick move....

uneven mason
#

People start paying attention

dusky canopy
#

Guys think about this.. they made taking kick optional in some cases AND added a shit ton of kicks..

sturdy sable
#

I usually start a key and most pulls by just saying "kicks saves lives" then just repeat that every time someone hits the floor

dusky canopy
obsidian path
sweet summit
#

thats frontal on tank

jade pulsar
sweet summit
#

you need to stun that cast

obsidian path
#

On trash

sweet summit
#

it's the rock boys' frontal

dusky canopy
sick sentinel
#

what should be the strat for killing overgrown goliath in algethar??? A burn boss and interupts single target, or B everyone stacks and we aoe adds?

obsidian path
#

On the round platforms

uneven mason
#

Oh right hah

deft vessel
#

what I most dislike about the new dungeons is that there's a ton of dangerous or annoying casts, but a majority of the mobs that use them are stun immune and use uninterruptable casts

sick sentinel
#

i wiped a bunch on a zero to him last night some how

plush tendon
#

Remember, its only day 2; people are still learning 🙂

deft vessel
#

so like, okay, I guess I'll just not do anything about it, great, thanks blizz, I love not having counterplay to mechancis

uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

k

obsidian path

but that doesn't stop that we wiped to him

#

multiple times

#

who asked

dusky canopy
deft vessel
sick sentinel
#

i didn't ask if you could solo it

jade pulsar
plush tendon
#

Everything in RLP after first boss is pain

sweet summit
obsidian path
#

I feel like every expansion is the worse for melee life

#

All the shit on the floor in melee seramore

sweet summit
#

yea

plush tendon
#

We also give out our condolences to our healer friends who got double quacking on the last boss in there

dusky canopy
#

Is it just me or do all 4 of the new dungeons just suck to run in keys

#

I prefer the 4 legacy

#

To many kicks in the new ones

sick sentinel
#

like, this is why i get pissed off some times im asking a legit question and some dude is just fuckin like, (and the only guy respond atm) "just go fuckin solo it"

sweet summit
#

i don't hate them

dusky canopy
#

Fears stuns etc

uneven mason
fluid shard
#

super enjoying the dungeons as tank right now but hell, way too many adds jumping to ranged players

sweet summit
#

RLP is a bit overtuned hehe

sick sentinel
#

like jesus

plush tendon
#

RLP is straight pain

#

just needs a couple of targeted nerfs on specific mobs

#

then I think its fine

dusky canopy
#

Try doing academy tree boss without mass aoe

plush tendon
#

its really just the ring that is so brutal

dusky canopy
sweet summit
#

need the red dragon enrage to be purgable/soothable 🙏

plush tendon
#

At least you know that key is won or lost at the tree

modern brook
obsidian path
sick sentinel
#

the dragon on the ring of RLP solo'd my entire party

sweet summit
#

the big red dragon

sick sentinel
#

killed 3 + people with just breath alone

ionic roost
#

tbh RLP i find the trash is fine

obsidian path
#

Last boss ?

sweet summit
plush tendon
#

The red dragon isnt as scary as the storm dragon

modern brook
#

The one that does pulsing damage that stacks?

ionic roost
#

its the bosses that feel like tyranical bosses

#

on fort

sweet summit
#

yea that one bull

dusky canopy
obsidian path
#

The last boss' mount enrages ?

modern brook
modern brook
plush tendon
#

yea, but the storm dragon is sneaking

sick sentinel
#

"just go solo it!!!!!" asking about boss advice lmfao

dusky canopy
#

Skipp red dragon if possible

plush tendon
#

and gets behind my group

#

in the middle of a pack

sweet summit
#

how do you even skip the dragons

#

they fly back and forth

modern brook
sweet summit
#

don't wanna

sick sentinel
#

holy crap thats the best advice i've ever recieved

plush tendon
#

I think you can skip em

sick sentinel
#

why didnt i think of that??

dusky canopy
plush tendon
#

they fly back and forth.... just gotta learn where they fly

#

maybe

sweet summit
#

we tried shrouding on the inside

#

but then the dragon just flew to us

modern brook
sweet summit
#

yeah i know

#

but we got past it

dusky canopy
#

I just walk by red dragon when it flys up

modern brook
sweet summit
#

you can walk on the inside

dusky canopy
#

Sometimes he’s on the ground waiting but he will fly up again

sweet summit
#

of the circle thingy

#

the channeler or w/e does not have truesight

sick sentinel
#

oh well, if i have to do mythic +, especially cuz i didnt do ANY legion

#

im gunna be asking like, a million god damn questions about these dungeons

modern brook
plush tendon
#

If there is anyway to skip that dragon Ill be so happy

dusky canopy
#

Shadow moon and temple are basically free ++s

plush tendon
#

Temple is brutal

#

Shadowmoon is brutal for like 1 pack

sweet summit
#

temple fucks

dusky canopy
#

Nah just get past first boss

sweet summit
#

but very doable

#

just play well 4head

modern brook
#

My hot temple take

plush tendon
#

First boss isnt even that bad

uneven mason
modern brook
#

Is it's only hard cause people don't want to use their cc cause it doesn't do damage

dusky canopy
#

It is when your melee stand in water

plush tendon
#

those two pandas in the second boss room kill my friends

sick sentinel
#

i know temple inside out and backwards besides how to tell which boss is going to spawn on book side

plush tendon
#

and then all the trash to last boss

plush tendon
dusky canopy
#

Honestly reworked HoV is pretty free too

plush tendon
#

I think its just a learning thing right now on that boss

sick sentinel
#

its okay, i heard someone say entire group stacks one location you can AOE the adds before they can do anything

sweet summit
#

HoV is cool

sick sentinel
#

so i'll try that

dusky canopy
#

Hell yeah love it

calm sapphire
#

SMV is my current favourite

slim dove
#

Mechanically they're all free.

sweet summit
#

SMB is "fun" bc it's free tho

slim dove
#

Numbers get out of control on a few packs

plush tendon
#

There are specfic pulls that I find fun

sick sentinel
#

dragon boss before final in jade temple has always been a deletes random players fight

tender cove
dusky canopy
plush tendon
#

the first big pull in RLP

calm sapphire
#

Last boss on RLP apparently turns everyone in my groups into helpless idiots

plush tendon
#

fantastic

green sparrow
#

what item are yall crafting?

sweet summit
#

RLP is also good up to fist boss

#

xdd

sick sentinel
#

i can remember that was a boss that would kill tons of players in pandaria heroics

tender cove
#

RLP is nice but its just overtuned and not fun to play.

sweet summit
obsidian path
plush tendon
#

RLP is like "things were good, then it got worse..... and then it got even worse'

sweet summit
#

yeah LOL

tender cove
#

Azure is my least favorite so far

dusky canopy
#

Shield/lariat gamer

plush tendon
#

Azure is a trek

dusky canopy
green sparrow
ionic roost
calm sapphire
#

If I had a penny for each time everyone else died and I had to solo the last 15% of RLP's last boss

plush tendon
#

but I dont think its terrible

calm sapphire
#

I'd have two pennies. Which is not a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.

sweet summit
#

we've only done an 11 azure so idk how bad it gets when it goes higher

sturdy sable
plush tendon
#

on a 11

obsidian path
#

Focused the dragon every occasion we got before the mounted phase helped

plush tendon
uneven mason
sturdy sable
#

Lmao we died 35ish times and still timed the 10

#

Those dragons man

#

We tried skipping thunderhead by going the other way

#

And he just....flew to us

#

13 academy tree boss lashers were living to long and the lasher toxin was hitting me for 250k in dstance

sweet summit
plush tendon
jagged pier
#

get good scrub

plush tendon
#

honestly, a unholy DK or Affliction lock would be good

#

maybe get a lock

#

have them start as affliction

sweet summit
plush tendon
#

then run out and swap to demo

tender cove
dusky canopy
#

Dude I was getting like 60 stacks of the toxin lmao

plush tendon
#

For dat tree boss

#

Affliction seems good for that specifcally

#

but Demo better throughout

#

so you can enter dungeon as affliction, then swap to demo

tender cove
#

ye but how are you gonna start a key as affil and then "run out and change" for a boss?

plush tendon
#

after boss

#

IDK, theres a inn nearby

#

hearth, swap, go back in?

obsidian path
#

Vulpera mvp

plush tendon
#

^ or dat

obsidian path
#

Camp at the entrance

tender cove
#

Is that even possible? Doesn't brick the key?

plush tendon
#

It should be; its something people used to do in BFA on Siege

#

play sub for a good portion of the dungeon, then swap

sturdy sable
#

And fast feet

plush tendon
#

think about shadowflame though with all those little adds

#

big numbies

#

or a unholy DK with bursting sores

obsidian path
#

Shadowflame saved my ass on cos imps

#

Those little shit hurt

uneven mason
#

Thanks for reminding me, I have a cos to run....

#

Ugh

plush tendon
#

Court of Stars is nice

obsidian path
#

I like that dungeon

edgy grail
#

the tree boss is easy if you stack

obsidian path
#

Suramar is bae

edgy grail
#

If you have adds everywhere it’s terrible

plush tendon
#

as long as you can kill the adds fast, the boss is fine

#

but its literally the only thing in that dungeon you have to worry bout: kill tree, and then its basically free

rugged mural
#

In SL, the word was that Outburst should be used on SS 99% of the time. Is that still the case for DF?

uneven mason
#

First cast - passive cleave - 2nd cast big burst ae to clean up

uneven mason
plush tendon
#

we do have more clap modifiers

#

then we did back then

#

so im not sure

uneven mason
#

True

obsidian path
#

Outburst ss provides more rage too

rugged mural
#

Possibility of numbers changes that I didn't see between SL and now. I haven't been following tuned that closely

obsidian path
#

Than outburst clap

uneven mason
#

Them 120k ss crits tho

rugged mural
#

We also seem to have more rage available and Banner isn't a thing

obsidian path
#

I have to admit I sometimes go for an outburst + show of force clap

oak echo
#

you TC on 5 or more targets in ava, 6 or more outside of ava. otherwise SS is the way i understand it from the math people

obsidian path
#

Even sylvanas hears the clap frop the maw

bleak wyvern
#

does gear change how much threat you generate?

plush tendon
#

you do more damage with more gear

uneven mason
#

It's still not bfa clap

plush tendon
#

so yea

#

it helps

obsidian path
#

More damage is more threat

bleak wyvern
#

cus in M+ like, I swear I will charge in, thunderclap, aoe

#

and hunter and shaman friend pull threat somehow

obsidian path
#

Pop a shield block, spikes do aggro too

plush tendon
#

well shaman with storm thingy will crit super hard in their first two or three globals

#

but you shouldnt have any issues

#

but carful of the dragons though; they pull threat on pull sometimes

bleak wyvern
#

well thats the issue idk if they need to wait a second extra

#

but as soon as i thunder clap

#

they go balls deep

plush tendon
#

probably just need to wait

#

like literally a second

rugged mural
#

Hunter should not be pulling with MD

plush tendon
#

or, you know, misdirect

bleak wyvern
#

funny thing is

#

misdirect wasnt working last night at all

#

lmao

#

we even tested it a few times

plush tendon
#

maybe he was mding the shaman

bleak wyvern
#

idk we think it was server cus some of the shit was acting weird

#

also, im doing +9s in blue gear (shield, chest and belt)

#

dunno if that would effect it badly

plush tendon
#

a new shield would help

bleak wyvern
#

but gotta admit, prot it a lot more fun than fury

uneven mason
plush tendon
#

Prot is so good right now

#

even if the numbies werent there, it would still be fun

uneven mason
#

I mean the numbers are nice

patent hull
#

Hopefully there won't be further "tunings" anytime soon.

uneven mason
#

Sense gonna get us netfed

plush tendon
#

numbies nice, but spec is well made and plays well

bleak wyvern
#

so i gotta ask, is ignore pain when you know something big is about to hit, or do you generally try to keep it up alongside shield block

plush tendon
#

so, I aint worried

#

played Warrior through SL; aint nothing stopping me

uneven mason
#

Throwing the averages way off

#

Like on avg thebtanks in raid are really close in DMG

#

But you got pumpers in pwar doing double the avg

plush tendon
#

raid is fine; they just need to buff the other tanks to some level where they arent just looking at prot warrior going like 'I cant even compete with that thing'

bleak wyvern
#

warrior doing good for once? yeah thats an issue

plush tendon
#

Warrior was really good in BFA

#

Warrior was good in SL, just unpopular

cinder knot
#

is MDT bugged with %s for temple?

uneven mason
cinder knot
#

i selected every trash mob in the instance and it gives me 86% lol

plush tendon
#

you basically got to kill everything in temple

calm sapphire
#

Yes

plush tendon
#

just press W

cinder knot
#

yeah figured as much

uneven mason
calm sapphire
#

You can skip the trash from between water boss and 3rd boss

cinder knot
#

lets see what all the fuss is about with fort temple

plush tendon
#

kicks

#

and then group damage

uneven mason
#

Sha fucking hurt

plush tendon
#

and then more kicks

calm sapphire
#

So you go water boss, backtrack to library, then go to 3rd boss, then 4th boss

#

And do all that trash

plush tendon
#

yea, left first gang

uneven mason
#

But my speed boost

thick mauve
#

Any idea on which item to craft with sparks?

plush tendon
patent hull
#

Neck is good

plush tendon
#

the elemental lariet is looking good

#

need a shield, make a shield

calm sapphire
#

Neck/Weapon/Shield/Whatever you fancy

plush tendon
#

want a weapon, make a weapon

#

need some fancy shoes; those are good

thick mauve
#

i found these but can't decide

#

Mainly doing m+

plush tendon
#

I would avoid tier slots though

#

at least for now

patent hull
#

I did neck and shield.

thick mauve
calm sapphire
#

It's because MDT doesn't show the library upstairs

plush tendon
#

the neck is really good

#

but the pattern is rare

#

and people are charging up the ass to craft right now

#

more people will have it soon

patent hull
#

I got lucky placing a crafting order for it early

plush tendon
#

but 100% worth making

#

I got a heroic shield from raid, and my BS is weaponsmith

#

so im probably gonna make a sword and neck

#

since we'll be in mythic soonish and theres a good looking shield off first boss

solar crown
#

Does anyone have a good read on how to handle the packs before 3rd boss in nokhud offensive? Feels like dps die like flies and its a lot of moving around, but im not sure exactly how to handle the packs better

plush tendon
severe steeple
#

ghost

solar crown
#

Ghost

severe steeple
#

tell you dps to "git gud"

plush tendon
#

yea, feels like a git gud for ghost trash

vernal mural
#

Aim wind thingies away

plush tendon
#

theres a couple of interrupts

#

but nothing as brutal as the storm shit

severe steeple
#

these packs are a cluster fuck and its fortified raging

#

and depends on ppl gear

solar crown
#

Sure, but will better kicks sort it? Feels like its way to much to keep interrupting, but maybe they just prio the wrong things

severe steeple
#

cause ive seen some despicable smartasses wanting to go +11 onwards with 372 gear

plush tendon
#

theres a enrage cast they do

severe steeple
#

and they die insta with whatever damage

plush tendon
#

+11 is doable at 372.... but you sort of need to be gamer

#

way too many dps arent acting like gamers right now

calm sapphire
#

Depends on the dungeon

solar crown
#

Ok, but do you kite then off the 'hill' or just stabd there and focus the birds away from the group?

severe steeple
#

the percent of ppl that do M+ that are actual gamers is like 0.5

solar crown
#

Im assuming things will get better if i git gud, and that will help the group

#

But might be they just need to not stand in shit, i dunno

severe steeple
#

there are 50 abilities in these packs and its first week, its only natural ppl don't know them

sleek current
#

Standing in shit is 86% (random high number) of deaths right now for sure. People are still learning the dungeons.

plush tendon
#

I guess my idea of a gamer is like, they may not know the dungeon, but they sort of recognize pretty quickly that 'oh, lets interrupt that or let me use X ability to stop that' without needing to be told

#

or knowing what it does

#

they just be gaming

solar crown
#

True. Just feels like the birds frontal, the bombs going off and some other aoe damage is to much. So i was assuming i did something wrong and could make things easier if i did x y or z

#

But if there is no magic thing we can do then im fine with that

sleek current
#

In those packs. They need to interrupt death volley as a priority and pick up their souls ASAP. Other than that, kiting away from the orbs and swirls is the deal.

plush tendon
#

The ghost zone is also a nice place to get %

#

I feel like all the other trash is much nastier

sleek current
#

Huge, I pick up tonnes there and skip the entire last section.

plush tendon
#

I think getting to 92% is the play?

#

before last boss zone

short elk
#

Start the rp while you’re clearing that area

sleek current
#

The two before final boss give 3% each I think.

#

95% going into final boss is the safe bet.

plush tendon
#

theres a not too terrible pack on the right of the patrol

solar crown
#

Can you start the rp without having cleared the camps?

plush tendon
#

you need to clear the 4 camps

#

and then start RP

sleek current
#

I don't think so.

solar crown
#

Oh, sorry, misunderstood

plush tendon
#

but you can fly, so that gets done fast

#

then you just start pulling pathing packs

solar crown
#

Im usually clearing everything around the bird-boss

plush tendon
solar crown
#

For %

sleek current
#

Not unless your group know what they're doing. Personally, I'd rather deal with them separately because you could end up with double charge and slam going off at same time.

plush tendon
#

there will be a point we'll pull that together me thinks

#

maybe too much right now

#

I should also enchant and gem my gear at some point

how do you guys use CDs? do we just pop everything on pull, and then fuel all the Rage into IP, or do we spread it out so we have more globals for Revenge? 🤔 I feel like whenever i pop everything together, i get like 500+ rage in the Avatar window

i mean your build is fine

Maybe Nome can clarify

dunno about dropping punish to get BSV, woulda dropped SoF rather

coarse flower

this is what I ran, but I didnt theorycraft anything - I was just thinking of anything I could take to survive magic tank busters

dropping surv to get surv is a bit 🤔

whats BSV?

your cheat

which idk if its still bugged

so you mightve played a useless talent 😄

coarse flower

i felt like BSV was procing alot and its a 80% DR

craggy pilot

if BSV was not bugged, what would we skip to take it? if anything?

strong forum
#

ya it procs on CD if its still bugged

coarse flower
#

o

strong forum
#

literally on CD

coarse flower
#

i guess i was yoloing this

strong forum
#

cuz it counts the pre-mit hit

#

so if you get hit by a 400k phys hit, it would proc despite blocking it down to a 20k hit

#

and being full HP

#

unless thats been fixed

craggy pilot
#

Nome lets say it was fixed, would we drop anything to take it?

strong forum
#

the goal is to get surv

#

so youd drop SoF or thunderlord to get it

coarse flower

yeah, i was so scared about dying in these keys

thunderlord is less demo shouts in a key though, thats the only reason i didnt

yes 11s are entirely possible to pug

I mean it’s possible

ruby is one of the harder keys

hm

i guess they fixed bsv then

craggy pilot

i got blasted on Ruby +10, and then did it just fine on +9 with diff grp

#

at the end of packs, one cast will go through with raging and one tap

#

was really fun

craggy pilot
#

just save Shockwave for end of pack 😄

edgy grail
#

That evidence seems rather questionable

craggy pilot
#

didnt have many DPS hitting higher than 40k overall yet

coarse flower
#

i saw some interesting builds

#

people taking all 3 shockwave talents - does that mean theyre using it offensively?

sweet summit
#

do not

coarse flower
#

or just as a random shockwave and it just hits hard

strong forum
#

thats a dps loss

coarse flower
#

ya i was confused, i think some BR team was taking it

#

maybe brazilian meta

Ive been debating if shockwave is even worth taking

strong forum
#

ye i saw him too

#

very wonky build

plush tendon
#

feel like I get minimal value from it

coarse flower
strong forum
#

like TR + Sonic boom is almost as good as TR + Words

#

but going FULL shockwave without TR

#

is just a dps loss

plush tendon

well everyone gots a aoe stun now

sweet summit
#

shockwave has been insane for me and my group

edgy grail
#

First week prob just testing stuff

plush tendon
#

its just dring

strong forum
#

and youll just perma DR your mobs

coarse flower
#

youll need more as the key levels go up

edgy grail
#

Ive been trying different stuff ad well

#

I tried spell block and the shield wall talent in Temple

#

Was pretty good I think

strong forum
#

yes totjs is 100% a spellblock + defenders aegis dungeon

modern brook
#

Shock wave owns but taking the Shockwave damage talent forces you to talent out of other dps talents and forces you to sw on cd

#

It's just bad

edgy grail
#

A but different play style so gotta get used to it

cinder knot
#

also not sure if this is the right place to ask, but any chance i could get someone to look over some of my logs?

edgy grail
#

How does spell block work exactly? It makes the spell as if it was physical?

strong forum
#

yes

#

thats literally it

coarse flower
#

ya very strong talent

#

i had the wrong talents shown, i had spell block almost every key

strong forum
#

very strong but very useless often times

hot maple
#

are folks running fueled by blood or brutal vitality in M+ nowadays?

strong forum
#

cuz 90% of the time where spellblock is good, you have SW for it

#

the only time spellblock is the pick

#

is when you need to rotate between SW and spellblock

#

frequently

edgy grail

That last pack

so far the only place i feel like spell block would be something i wish i had would be 3rd and last room of Temple

strong forum

i can only think of RLP, Azure Vault and Totjs

edgy grail
#

Yep

strong forum
#

for spellblock usecases

#

dunno about smbg havent done it often enough

edgy grail
#

RLP is decent

#

Defenders aegis was weird to play

prisma crane
#

btw, can we just kite those Sha's to prevent that ass blasting they like to do? particularly when raged, or does it hit at range anyways?

#

i havent tested yet

ye

u can

whats currently the embelishments to chose?

Stupid question if I have spell block up and I reflect does it deal reduced damage?

does big fuck damage

very \scary

plush tendon

I get a semi anytime I see big spell reflect DPS

prisma crane

yea, but doesnt appear to be reflectable, and i cant figure out how to handle it

plush tendon

soo good

there's no way they dont nerf them

kiting obviously, but it's shit

sweet summit

u have to use a CD for it

would spell block work on that?

not sure, haven't talented into that yet

I think it did

ill be honest, theres no way Temple doesnt get more nerfs

sweet summit

idk it honestly feels fine

prisma crane
#

and appreciate Sir! o7

sweet summit
#

you just have to play a lot around LoS

#

and aoe CC

#

only thing i dislike is 1st boss water visuals and 3rd boss line visuals being delayed

prisma crane
#

it definitely felt better the more i did it, but the group has to be on point, i dont see how a group with long interrupts would do it

sweet summit
#

i can imagine

prisma crane
#

last boss in azure, the debuff falling off faster makes it feel a lot better at least

sweet summit
#

want @languid yoke to make a weak aura for water ripple

#

but idk if it's doable

cinder storm
#

I hate when they do colors on top of similar colors, like nokhund hills casts

sweet summit

man fucking

z axis

and carpets

need to get fixed

#

inshallah

prisma crane

it really is bad

idk why blizz is afraid of just having super SUPER obvious visuals

cinder storm
#

FF is very good at that

prisma crane
#

like, Evoker fire cone and drive-by visuals

sweet summit
#

want hard outlines

prisma crane
#

yea

sweet summit
#

not guess where it stops

#

kinda thing

prisma crane

and bold and have maybe a bit of depth so it solves the Z axis issue

The frontal on last boss RLP

Is just wrong too

lime rivet

Anyone have a solid Thundering WA?

craggy pilot

this thing any good? cant seem to get it higher than 3 stacks

btw dont do high azure vault keys with melee only and a 45 heroic leap cooldown on last boss :<

avatar removes stacks

sick sentinel

that trinket sucks sort of because it lasts too long imho

#

the buff lasts for 20 seconds

edgy grail

edgy grail

So just yell at healer

sick sentinel
#

and then so you have to pray it goes off before, or wait 20 agonizing second before it goes off on its own

craggy pilot
sweet summit
#

oh not you sorry

prisma crane
#

talking about last boss in azure

sweet summit
#

idk anything about that trinket

prisma crane
#

i have the same thoughts on that trinket

sick sentinel
#

you can force it to 6 stacks by just attacking hard, but if you have no targets

prisma crane
#

i got to 4-5 stacks

#

regularly

#

but after that is rough

sick sentinel
#

its not bad, on paper or even in practice

#

i just find it impractical to use a bit

craggy pilot
#

hmm got it to 6 finally on this boss in HC

#

kinda big burnout

#

oh wait its normal 😄

stark jewel
#

is there a case for bloodsurge instead of instigate on primal council?

Im not sure at which target count you can consider bloodsurge to be more valuable

is it worthwhile for us to make a mouseover interrupt macro?
didn't find one on the wowhead guide and maybe you're not supposed to do it since our interrupt is melee?

sweet summit
#

i prefer focus target interrupt, but mouseover works too

#
/cast [@mouseover,exists]Pummel; Pummel```
solar crown
#

Is there a good auto marker weakaura? or addon?

solemn current
#

Could just make a single macro for both. Focus if you got it, mouseover if you don’t, target interrupt when neither

lyric valley
#

working with focus targets is a level of play I haven't figured out yet critcake

thanks for the macros

sweet summit
#

every time there is a target with higher max hp than the caster i'm kicking

mellow quartz
lyric valley
sweet summit
#

no point killing low hp mob if there are two high hp mobs still there

craggy pilot
#

if caster is dead, the pack is much easier 🤔

#

and i can potentially pull 1 more pack with casters in it

mellow quartz
#

Like RLP with 2 casters and the big dude. Focus kick 1 caster and target the big dude.

sweet summit
#

yep

craggy pilot
#

big dude being the fire dude?

mellow quartz
#

Yes

#

The one with the most hp

craggy pilot
#

ye ok makes sense i guess

#

unless you do big dude + casters, kill the casters, then pull the pat

mellow quartz
#

Always target the highest hp mobs to make the key go faster.

sweet summit
#

pull isn't over til the last mob dies (with exceptions of course)

uncut dome
#

What Keys do yoy feel are the hardest atm?

mellow quartz
#

Like in AA when everyone aoe’s the lashers and then have nothing for the 3 big guys.

#

Their aoe did nothing to speed up the key

prisma crane
#

dont forget in RLP that those fire circles dmg mobs and knock them up, it's nice extra help

icy bane
#

Into the fray vs primal council was juicy

#

Like 36% haste whole fight

craggy pilot

like i tried to stun a few of the small Fire Elements in there, and they didnt take dmg

idk if they do damage, but the knock up almost perfect time to interrupt the flame dance

The frostfire belt I think is taken in conjunction with raid rings

craggy pilot

Raid rings? why is that?

plush tendon

I doubt anyone has the set yet

they do damage/heal when you do fire damage

and unless we playing fire enchant WoTLK arms warrior, thats the only way we do fire damage

craggy pilot
#

ohh so the Frostfire belt procs the rings?

plush tendon

it should
