pretty sure Lariat is worse than the other options, at least for keys
In-case you dont raid, then makes it relevant to craft a high level shield. At this point.
Bracers Pants gang
then you can 🙂
but need to find someone with shield specilization
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.
i went deep into shield specialization, so i was about to regret my life choices.
the small ones explode on death
just dont kill them all at once
Can prob just do first boss on any difficulty for a shield (not saying right now) as the first boss is usually free
it's truly cancer haha
Eggnog is really free
eggnog is like drinking pure christmas
same with Terros
thats why i call it Christmas Cum
Strap in and wait for the nerfs
Oh crap so we cant just AOE the little shits down the DPS has to THINK? I would have rathered you told me I was trash lol
youre trash 🙂
Thank you I feel much better now
@dusk loom kite them out of pools of crap. Interrupt and stun as well. And spell reflect judiciously.
idk Jade felt pretty free once you play it more than once, my groups first key of it was a 12 and it was rough essentially blind, then our 13 we got later we 2 chested it
only the first boss is hard
Yeah that place is all about just knowing what to kick and what to kite
for the small price of 8.8 million, you can buy several lariat designs and start printing your own money.
Can the big mob be interrupted/stunned before splitting off the small mobs?
The water ele?
well overall i like the dungeons a lot more than shadowlands
I don't believe so
The one before the last boss in Jade. The one that spawns the xploders.
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
man pugging is a pain xd, why every pug dps doing sub 20k overall
i would not play this game if i had to pug 🙂
Pug life is rough some times
Right now you don’t have score to help sort out the bads
yea
And most people doing 12s and up are with there groups
I think the biggest issue with pugs isn't even their damage, it's the interrupts, which is wiping them.
Totally
Kicks season
Basically have to run melee comp when pugging and hope for the best
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
i have to do that too
it is not fun
idek if the dps players know what they are kicking and stopping
and they die anyway, that said. its not easy
since they don't if i don't say anything
like he just falls over
feel like i need to get some more vers
no
that no is towards me, or?
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
yer my GM got me into groups today and was like well the tank usually calls the stops, i said im not going to do that it was left at that XD
yes
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
I mean, even with all melee and a pally healer it's not even guaranteed lol
Thats been my life all these dps think "oh bolt cast thats a tank problem" little do they fucking know its gonna 1 shot someone else
our group usually has DPS calling stops
My guy just go for ilvl and optimize gameplay instead = win
yer better for this week at least imo for a dps to do it
raging bolt on random target not my problem :clueless:
i hope dps will be trained this season to kick, the shitters wont of course, but people capable of thinking will learn it
imma trying not to die
My whole week so far has been me finishing off packs while the group runs back
Soloed a few bosses down from 20%
Its been trying
I've been taking the cheat death talent a lot sooner than I thought I would lol
Just press Spell Reflect, it won't be an issue for you at least 
I’ve had the best luck pugging with HDH rogue and WWmonk all kinds of cc to go around doesn’t need to be super coordinated
I have a macro that says
"Every time you mastur...miss an interrupt god kills a DPS" that I tap whenever someone eats floor
Im gonna have to do that
having the cancer dragons in ruby having their aoe scale with raging is just a pure dick move....
People start paying attention
Guys think about this.. they made taking kick optional in some cases AND added a shit ton of kicks..
I usually start a key and most pulls by just saying "kicks saves lives" then just repeat that every time someone hits the floor

Had the same issue in Azure Vault, something shards while enraged onehsoted our healer
thats frontal on tank
i mean, im kinda doing that already, but looking at what enchants/sockets i can swing the stats tells me i could use some vers
you need to stun that cast
On the last boss?
On trash
it's the rock boys' frontal
Don’t over think secondaries a little extra Vers doesn’t make you live in your situation but playing better will
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?
On the round platforms
Oh right hah
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
i wiped a bunch on a zero to him last night some how
Remember, its only day 2; people are still learning 🙂
ye agreed
so like, okay, I guess I'll just not do anything about it, great, thanks blizz, I love not having counterplay to mechancis
Literally soloable zero
k
Worst is ruby casters that go immune when they are near death
No salt at all this is the hard truth for 99% of players myself included 
the amount of spinny nonsense is also quite annoying, but yeah 😦
i didn't ask if you could solo it
yeah np mate i agree with what you're saying 😛
Everything in RLP after first boss is pain
let me be mad 
I feel like every expansion is the worse for melee life
All the shit on the floor in melee 
yea
We also give out our condolences to our healer friends who got double quacking on the last boss in there
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
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"
i don't hate them
Fears stuns etc
Still somehow seeing rogues dk and warriors destroying meters
super enjoying the dungeons as tank right now but hell, way too many adds jumping to ranged players
RLP is a bit overtuned hehe
like jesus
RLP is straight pain
just needs a couple of targeted nerfs on specific mobs
then I think its fine
Try doing academy tree boss without mass aoe
its really just the ring that is so brutal

need the red dragon enrage to be purgable/soothable 🙏
At least you know that key is won or lost at the tree
I love new pfp
Which one ?
the dragon on the ring of RLP solo'd my entire party
the big red dragon
killed 3 + people with just breath alone
tbh RLP i find the trash is fine
Last boss ?

The red dragon isnt as scary as the storm dragon
The one that does pulsing damage that stacks?
yea that one bull
Is this noms new nickname?
The last boss' mount enrages ?
Storm dragon is easy don't stand in the breath
Disrespectful smhmh
yea, but the storm dragon is sneaking
"just go solo it!!!!!" asking about boss advice lmfao
Skipp red dragon if possible
Just die to them :^)
don't wanna
holy crap thats the best advice i've ever recieved
I think you can skip em
why didnt i think of that??
I keed I keed ❤️ nom
They see invis
I just walk by red dragon when it flys up
Huuuh?
you can walk on the inside
Sometimes he’s on the ground waiting but he will fly up again
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
Huh. Wild
If there is anyway to skip that dragon Ill be so happy
Shadow moon and temple are basically free ++s
temple fucks
Nah just get past first boss
My hot temple take
First boss isnt even that bad
Sorry, snark off, you mean the overgrown ancient?
Is it's only hard cause people don't want to use their cc cause it doesn't do damage
It is when your melee stand in water
those two pandas in the second boss room kill my friends
i know temple inside out and backwards besides how to tell which boss is going to spawn on book side
and then all the trash to last boss
we never had issue with that, even on beta
Honestly reworked HoV is pretty free too
I think its just a learning thing right now on that boss
its okay, i heard someone say entire group stacks one location you can AOE the adds before they can do anything
HoV is cool
so i'll try that
Hell yeah love it
SMV is my current favourite
Mechanically they're all free.
SMB is "fun" bc it's free tho
Numbers get out of control on a few packs
There are specfic pulls that I find fun
dragon boss before final in jade temple has always been a deletes random players fight
def my favorite so far but havent gotten a court key yet
I agree it’s only because it’s so easy
the first big pull in RLP
Last boss on RLP apparently turns everyone in my groups into helpless idiots
fantastic
what item are yall crafting?
i can remember that was a boss that would kill tons of players in pandaria heroics
RLP is nice but its just overtuned and not fun to play.
lariat + weapon/shield is good
It's a fight that gets even messier for each mistake
RLP is like "things were good, then it got worse..... and then it got even worse'
yeah LOL
Azure is my least favorite so far
Shield/lariat gamer
Azure is a trek

i had a 385 strike twice drop, so im not sure
Bracers/Pants for m+, Bracers/Lariat for raid
If I had a penny for each time everyone else died and I had to solo the last 15% of RLP's last boss
but I dont think its terrible
I'd have two pennies. Which is not a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.
we've only done an 11 azure so idk how bad it gets when it goes higher
Atleast its a really forgiving timer
we died 40 times, still timed it
on a 11
Focused the dragon every occasion we got before the mounted phase helped

Basically this, gotta stack in for the plants, murder the tree add asap and have big burst aevready for the 2nd plant wave as he'll pop them immediately after the 2nd cast
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
Timers pretty forgiving
13 academy tree boss lashers were living to long and the lasher toxin was hitting me for 250k in dstance

thats a dungeon I would make sure you have some aoe pumpers
get good scrub
honestly, a unholy DK or Affliction lock would be good
maybe get a lock
have them start as affliction
you can sim the difference between crafted weapon and strike twice if you're unsure
then run out and swap to demo
what?
Dude I was getting like 60 stacks of the toxin lmao
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
ye but how are you gonna start a key as affil and then "run out and change" for a boss?
Vulpera mvp
^ or dat
Camp at the entrance
Is that even possible? Doesn't brick the key?
It should be; its something people used to do in BFA on Siege
play sub for a good portion of the dungeon, then swap
Or a healer with poison clense
And fast feet
think about shadowflame though with all those little adds
big numbies
or a unholy DK with bursting sores
Court of Stars is nice
I like that dungeon
the tree boss is easy if you stack
Suramar is bae
If you have adds everywhere it’s terrible
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
In SL, the word was that Outburst should be used on SS 99% of the time. Is that still the case for DF?
First cast - passive cleave - 2nd cast big burst ae to clean up
Don't see why it would change
True
Outburst ss provides more rage too
Possibility of numbers changes that I didn't see between SL and now. I haven't been following tuned that closely
Than outburst clap
Them 120k ss crits tho
We also seem to have more rage available and Banner isn't a thing
I have to admit I sometimes go for an outburst + show of force clap
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
Even sylvanas hears the clap frop the maw
does gear change how much threat you generate?
you do more damage with more gear
It's still not bfa clap
More damage is more threat
cus in M+ like, I swear I will charge in, thunderclap, aoe
and hunter and shaman friend pull threat somehow
Pop a shield block, spikes do aggro too
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
well thats the issue idk if they need to wait a second extra
but as soon as i thunder clap
they go balls deep
Hunter should not be pulling with MD
or, you know, misdirect
funny thing is
misdirect wasnt working last night at all
lmao
we even tested it a few times
maybe he was mding the shaman
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
a new shield would help
but gotta admit, prot it a lot more fun than fury
Elemental shm need no help pulling aggro with that stupid triplecast overload ae lavaburst insanity they can do on pull
I mean the numbers are nice
Hopefully there won't be further "tunings" anytime soon.
Sense gonna get us netfed
numbies nice, but spec is well made and plays well
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
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
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'
warrior doing good for once? yeah thats an issue
is MDT bugged with %s for temple?
Right, uh oh, pwar isn't a dumpster fire for the start of the xpac, gotta smash that
i selected every trash mob in the instance and it gives me 86% lol
you basically got to kill everything in temple
Yes
just press W
yeah figured as much
Literally every mob
You can skip the trash from between water boss and 3rd boss
lets see what all the fuss is about with fort temple
Sha fucking hurt
and then more kicks
So you go water boss, backtrack to library, then go to 3rd boss, then 4th boss
And do all that trash
yea, left first gang
But my speed boost
Any idea on which item to craft with sparks?
whatever you want 🙂
Neck is good
Neck/Weapon/Shield/Whatever you fancy
I did neck and shield.
gotcha, ty
I was thinking sword and shield since i got a weak sword
It's because MDT doesn't show the library upstairs
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
I got lucky placing a crafting order for it early
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
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
is that the ghost boss or the stormy boss
ghost
Ghost
tell you dps to "git gud"
yea, feels like a git gud for ghost trash
Aim wind thingies away
Sure, but will better kicks sort it? Feels like its way to much to keep interrupting, but maybe they just prio the wrong things
cause ive seen some despicable smartasses wanting to go +11 onwards with 372 gear
theres a enrage cast they do
and they die insta with whatever damage
+11 is doable at 372.... but you sort of need to be gamer
way too many dps arent acting like gamers right now
Depends on the dungeon
Ok, but do you kite then off the 'hill' or just stabd there and focus the birds away from the group?
the percent of ppl that do M+ that are actual gamers is like 0.5
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
there are 50 abilities in these packs and its first week, its only natural ppl don't know them
Standing in shit is 86% (random high number) of deaths right now for sure. People are still learning the dungeons.
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
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
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.
The ghost zone is also a nice place to get %
I feel like all the other trash is much nastier
Huge, I pick up tonnes there and skip the entire last section.
Start the rp while you’re clearing that area
The two before final boss give 3% each I think.
95% going into final boss is the safe bet.
theres a not too terrible pack on the right of the patrol
Can you start the rp without having cleared the camps?
I don't think so.
Oh, sorry, misunderstood
Im usually clearing everything around the bird-boss
Do you think its worth to pull those two on top of the boss?
For %
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.

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

guys does anyone know whats better?
primal molten shield with armor embelishement
or
Shield of the Hearth (with implemented embelishment)
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
Cds on cd
ye so on pull throw everything?
Yep
I alternate between avatar demo and shield wall with challenging shout
It covers both aggro and defensiveness
Did someone actually time a 20 ?
yea
just wondering how im doing less DPS than everyone, while popping all CDs on CD, and just feels like i have way too much rage, and no time to pop it into Revenge
You spend excess rage on IP
20 SBG 
magic damage intake was fucked
i think shield slam > revenge even on big pulls? which makes no sene
and evoker healer is so cringe to play with, my healer is probably rerolling
i mean your build is fine
It depends I think revenge is better at higher targets for purely damage
Maybe Nome can clarify
dunno about dropping punish to get BSV, woulda dropped SoF rather
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
battle scarred veteran
i felt like BSV was procing alot and its a 80% DR
if BSV was not bugged, what would we skip to take it? if anything?
ya it procs on CD if its still bugged
o
literally on CD
i guess i was yoloing this
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
Nome lets say it was fixed, would we drop anything to take it?
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
good evening , is there any guide regarding what crafted gear to aim for?
Yea I had asked about BSV a bit ago and people were saying I was crazy 🫠
Imagine doing content where you take damage
What u guys think is the easiest dungeon to tank? Did 2 plus 8 wanna try a plus 10
its just 1 talent point to get it
Surely my big crafted shield can take a hit
smbg is the easiest dungeon
We happen to have a list of mechanics that can be intervened for our party or naw? Kind of missing some intervene shenanigans from shadowlands and thought about grabbing the talent again
Ok thank you
Also the only dungeon that isnt cursed to do
is it possible to complete a +11 in a pug? without comms
Yea that was my thought process it’s low opportunity cost
yes 11s are entirely possible to pug
did a ruby +11 and we got our asses blasted :<
don't think bsv is bugged 
I mean it’s possible
ruby is one of the harder keys
raging+fort is not the play for learning dungeons
yeah its super toxic

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
just save Shockwave for end of pack 😄
That evidence seems rather questionable
didnt have many DPS hitting higher than 40k overall yet
i saw some interesting builds
people taking all 3 shockwave talents - does that mean theyre using it offensively?
do not
or just as a random shockwave and it just hits hard
thats a dps loss
Ive been debating if shockwave is even worth taking
feel like I get minimal value from it
nah itsworth; you need to stop casts
like TR + Sonic boom is almost as good as TR + Words
but going FULL shockwave without TR
is just a dps loss
well everyone gots a aoe stun now
shockwave has been insane for me and my group
First week prob just testing stuff
its just dring
and youll just perma DR your mobs
youll need more as the key levels go up
Ive been trying different stuff ad well
I tried spell block and the shield wall talent in Temple
Was pretty good I think
yes totjs is 100% a spellblock + defenders aegis dungeon
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
A but different play style so gotta get used to it
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?
How does spell block work exactly? It makes the spell as if it was physical?
ya very strong talent
i had the wrong talents shown, i had spell block almost every key
very strong but very useless often times
are folks running fueled by blood or brutal vitality in M+ nowadays?
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
Yea when its useful its insane
That last pack
Ezpz
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
them Shas
i can only think of RLP, Azure Vault and Totjs
Yep
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
whats currently the embelishments to chose?
cool
Hi all, wowhead guide recommends Lariat as an embellished item, do we know if that's true after the nerf?
Yea run back in for the reflect

lmao
the nerf did almost nothing
appreciated ty
Is that in temple?
yer

what kind of damage is that uninterruptable cast the fear ones do?
I am a prot main after doing keys with it last night
the seering gaze

Me prot me smash
yea
Stupid question if I have spell block up and I reflect does it deal reduced damage?
yea, but doesnt appear to be reflectable, and i cant figure out how to handle it
soo good
would spell block work on that?
?
Wait im talking about claws srry
🫡
ill be honest, theres no way Temple doesnt get more nerfs
idk it honestly feels fine
and appreciate Sir! o7
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
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
Im colorblind and its awful
i can imagine
last boss in azure, the debuff falling off faster makes it feel a lot better at least
I hate when they do colors on top of similar colors, like nokhund hills casts
it really is bad
idk why blizz is afraid of just having super SUPER obvious visuals
FF is very good at that
like, Evoker fire cone and drive-by visuals
want hard outlines
yea
and bold and have maybe a bit of depth so it solves the Z axis issue
The frontal on last boss RLP
if you play PoE you get used to that
Is just wrong too
Anyone have a solid Thundering WA?
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 :<
that trinket sucks sort of because it lasts too long imho
the buff lasts for 20 seconds
So does a dispell 😂
real
So just yell at healer
and then so you have to pray it goes off before, or wait 20 agonizing second before it goes off on its own
from the trinket? what?
oh not you sorry
talking about last boss in azure
idk anything about that trinket
i have the same thoughts on that trinket
you can force it to 6 stacks by just attacking hard, but if you have no targets
hmm got it to 6 finally on this boss in HC
kinda big burnout
oh wait its normal 😄
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
2
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?
i prefer focus target interrupt, but mouseover works too
/cast [@mouseover,exists]Pummel; Pummel```
Is there a good auto marker weakaura? or addon?
Could just make a single macro for both. Focus if you got it, mouseover if you don’t, target interrupt when neither
working with focus targets is a level of play I haven't figured out yet 
Plenty on wago
https://wago.io/1ctv3b91K saw this, haven't tried it
i've seen that myself, was wondering if there was any other that was 'common knowledge to use'. Ill test it, thanks 🙂
it's super convenient once you get used to it
one button to focus mouseover and then ur shilling
https://wago.io/b_JzlxXLu/
i use this one, works very well
/focus [@mouseover]
thanks @craggy pilot 🙂
like how often is that needed? dont you just target the target you need to interrupt? 🤔
thanks for the macros
every time there is a target with higher max hp than the caster i'm kicking
Rarely do I target the target I need to interrupt
I think you're just saving a few milliseconds by mouseover or focus interrupting
no point killing low hp mob if there are two high hp mobs still there
nah i mean having the interrupt target as the main target the entire fight
if caster is dead, the pack is much easier 🤔
and i can potentially pull 1 more pack with casters in it
Like RLP with 2 casters and the big dude. Focus kick 1 caster and target the big dude.
yep
big dude being the fire dude?
ye ok makes sense i guess
unless you do big dude + casters, kill the casters, then pull the pat
Always target the highest hp mobs to make the key go faster.
pull isn't over til the last mob dies (with exceptions of course)
What Keys do yoy feel are the hardest atm?
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
dont forget in RLP that those fire circles dmg mobs and knock them up, it's nice extra help
do they dmg all mobs? or only the casters?
like i tried to stun a few of the small Fire Elements in there, and they didnt take dmg
Probably Nokhud or TJS
idk if they do damage, but the knock up almost perfect time to interrupt the flame dance
Ah havent tanked nok yet
Always just shockwave and int shout the dance
yeah i always stop it, just a neat little interaction i found
isnt flame dance the one you just purge?
no?
So if I’m getting into tanking and this expansion what can I do to get really good ?
Vault is really easy tbh
The furies before 2nd boss did us dirty before we learned to purge the damage buff
all mobs i believe
I thought that was called flame dance
honestly wouldnt be surprised both of them are
if both of them are called*
just play, and play more, and ask questions when you do stuff you feel is wrong
Does the one when they die do damage if you are not in the circles?
I don’t think so.
aight i suck at prot warrior, back to the bdk dream gn bros
are there any good macros to combine spells? like put roar to avatar for example. i tried a few combinations but i guess its not worth. any input appreciated
Not really
Keep thing separate; you can make Victory Rush and Charge one button If you want to save keybinds
Or have charge/intervene macro
♿ BDK
dude Deaths Advance is sick in raid though
ah in raid i guess
and some dungeons
but M+ is the real gamemode
and grips are really nice
yea only thing im jealous of DKs is grip
Grip is soooo good
like holy shit so often i want to have grip
remember when we had a grip
i should just make a macro like
/p Grip that add plz
lvling my bdk.. always liked grips
and put a DK in my grp always
DK is awesome
pesky dps always attacking before i can grab more then take aggro
Unholy seems pretty cool to
grip
i just dont like the HP bar shit with BDK
if you can pull around their 1.5 min bursting sores dam
but i guess its a bit better now with the Mastery Shield
embrace the slow, and embrace the heart attack
its a bit stressful ngl, but honestly i find dk hp much easier to manage
its just super different then other tanks
cause if you see a prot warriors health drop its like panic panic
but a BDK.... thats just a tuesday
as Prot you only have Imp Victory
When the boss is about to become active and you see one or two melees inside the boss ready to burst 💀
Just came to my mind now, why didnt you craft neck/ unstable frostfire belt since they both have effects?
The frostfire belt I think is taken in conjunction with raid rings
Raid rings? why is that?
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
ohh so the Frostfire belt procs the rings?
it should
but the belt should still be decent on its own
it was doing 1.2% of my guildies dps the other day
UDK
yea, seems to be a good slot to have a crafted piece in general
yea
i made belt for my guildie, so thinking ill up my Belt Spec now in BS
and craft it for myself too
and then later make the Wrist
Yea im still wondering which peace to craft alongside the neck
Im looking at neck and a mainhand
Feels like im wasting power if i craft something that doesnt have an effect
i did shield already, and thinking Belt for 2nd 🤔
Thats what i did
still havnt crafted anything yet though
What about this one?
I gotta get over the FOMO of like 'but what if theres something better'
at some point, ya justneed to craft something
Thats what im going through lol
I got the 1h weapon from academy with leech and can upgrade it right now to 402 it is worth to craft the sword 405 Or it is not a big dmg dif.? And take the shield instead hmm
I guess neck and helm should be good options
How come crafting the neck is 100k for the mats and 150k fee, can no one do it?
was considering crafting this, but it does nothing for my Arms offspec 🤔
Im going full protection
ye was considering that as well, but think im going Arms in raid
pattern came out on tuesday and is very rare
what kinda server are u on brother it was like 4k for all the mats 15k commission
people cashing in on that market 😄
its quite rare Recipe, so on small servers it will be GIGA pricy
TarrenMill, I’m considering using the spark on my shield for now haha
just craft something else, and get neck in 2 weeks if you really want neck
apparently liquid paid 15 mill + transfer fees for the pattern
I made a mh week 1 lol my thought process is these sparks will come and we can only use 2 embellishments (3 with food buff obviously)
Jewelcrafters association did well with hyping up Lariat
And neck and mh arnt tier so
This is all a jc coalition 
Exactly just stay outa the main armour slots and your probably golden
ye fuck the jewelcrafters
lets say for Season 2 we hype up Blacksmithing, what do we say boys?
Hell yeah
we pay off all the twitch streamers
What sim do we use for m+ ? Dungeon slice or something else ?
Go hype something else 😠
I’m in
That shield of the hearth? Actually its top tier for everyone even dps
🤣🤣
Fury using 2h+Shield
looking forward to what they come up with for S2
if they just add more Power infusions for Professions, or if they actually add new items
Knowledge should almost reset between seasons though if they add new items 🤔
Should prot stay in defensive stance or pro actively swap etc?
stand in BStance basically, only D for big hits
BStance is like 13-14% extra dam
awesome ty so much!
if we had just hyped up the Belt+Rings combo, both BS and JC would benefit, we need to have a briefing with the Jewelcrafters Association ASAP!
40-50% uptime on shield of the hearth doesn't seem like it's that bad

still 326 vers only 🤷♂️ wrist is 200 vers with 100% uptime
Dude when i swap talents sometimes it defaults me to dtance and i hate it
Anyone happen to have a one button macro to swap between stances?
Dont notice it until i see my damage is lower then normal lmao
just get WA
i have WA that shows BStance logo in my face when i have 0 stance, and when im in DStance, theres DStance logo flashing on top of my Unit Frame
ok jesus NOW i know why i was only getting purple parses last night
Yep
Not the first, wont be the last
what's the best thing embellish for prot atm?
Helm and neck
so many stance WA on wago is for remembering to be in Dstance though 
no-one asked you sir

is helmet not reserved for tier?
I evidently CANT READ thank you!
dude sense did 12k more dps than me on normal kurog
whatever you can get in higher ilvl
i'm gonna cry
I just assumed the game knew what i wanted and reacted accordingly
4 set 5 or six slots you got wiggle room use it
get good
i just took Wago Stance WA, and flipped it for BStance instead of DStance 😄
he has 1k more strength than me 
and i was in dstance 
he did 400k more damage than me with SS with 3 more casts 

he only did 700 more than me
Rip

"When you're in prot spec, it shows an icon midscreen if you're in a dungeon and in Battle Stance, or outside a dungeon and in Defensive stance."
jks i gotta tell my evoker to play rdruid tho, evoker is such bait man
beta logs actually baited us hard
your banner vid is still historic brother
actually the most impractical spec, even though evoker has so much throughput
not all bad though when you consider average players
we are all washed
^

i had Evoker in a few keys, and didnt get dispelled and died and he said "bro im out of range" 

Beat me by 7k yeeesh
Ilvl is a bit all over the place atm for people also. Some on the leaderboards have like 395-400 ilvl
I just asked my healer if he wants me on dstance he better ask. Depending on the key height I've just mostly going dstance for trash and bstance for bosses
I just toggle whenever I’m a bit apprehensive about a pull
its the double pulls w cast where i feel obligated to camp dstance
If it feels good after a bit, I swap back
that's kinda aggro
dude wtf is the last pack in jade temple
good lord
my health bar

Most of the keys atm you are not failing due to damage output but due to wiping.
i rly wanna do a JT still havent gotten one
He had blessing of autumn so it doesn't count

JT was even a nightmare back in MoP. I haven't done it yet this week tho
Ive only beaten sense like 1 or twice in my whole career
and there are 3 of those mobs
And even then it doesn't last long
i only beat sense when he's stopped reclearing
like my 6th dausegne kill was better than his 2nd because he was just started extending way earlier than me
Did you start heroic yet or just normal so far?
I'm starting heroic tonight
With 374 ilvl at approx what Key Level should i consider d stance ? 😄
15s
K
when u feel like u need it
@chrome falcon I posted decent logs Tuesday but I didn't get any m+ time and what not that the people who raid Monday have so they are gonna have much better gear.
Something hard
no there isnt a cutt off
I’m sure nerf is currently perma in dstance
its a personal thing
Im 7/8 normal with razza almost dead
What key is it 300k?
We did 1/8H first and then went normal. Wound up only 5/8 normal.
it hit me for about 300k in a 14
Did you guys have your tank clear the eggs on broodkeeper or the dps/healer with the boss tank?
well
i REFLECTED a 300k hit
we just had 2 melee dps do it
could probably be some melee healers though
tank
are we getting into pet taunt territory?
But thats a ways away
ye
Even on a 12 shadowclaw hits for 250k
yep
Them sha dont fuck around
Am i crazy or is that storm boss in nokhund kinda overtuned
Alot of stuff feels super overtunned rn but will probably even out with more stam (for the dps Atleast)
Must have been enraged
Hit me for 180-190k on a 15
we 3 tanked raid testing
If you are not in def stance for that pack you are trolling
