Yo I killed rasz and didn’t realise there was a quest to get some primal infusion bs
Just when I was free of the pug nightmare
I’m in a guild but they raid twice a week and ain’t the best lmao
Yeah just get a guild with a open tank spot that’s clearing Ras 🙂
But they rl homies
Flame primal shell sims pretty high bro
It’s not entirely out of the question
Sometimes tanks wanna pump and go dps
or learn fury (lol) and say you can do both
isnt fury like opposite stat prio
You mean the turtle one? That resets and has you going back to get the correct buff?
been fixed for a while
does it reset?
i do 40k on dummy just fine with my crit/haste heavy gear as fury.
There are diminishing returns over 30% but no cap
just a lower value for your haste you gain over 30 percent right
is getting crit stat up even worth it? its still a chance at the end of the day no? why not just go full vers as second stat?
u get haste until 40%
and yes crit is worth it, in m+ its equal to vers defesnivly as it increases your parry as most of the damage u take in m+ is melees u stop more of them going through which averages out to a lot of damage stopped. albeit a bit rng
and its is better for damage than vers
so all in all its a good stat
that being said nothing wrong with vers
but if u think x% vers if going to save u, thats the wrong mind set stats have very very little to do with tankiness
its is pretty much all about play
im not saying that im only relying on vers lol
its just garunteed dmg and less dmg taken
You’re guaranteed damage with crit as well
Just like you’re guaranteed less damage taken with crit
That’s how percentages work
really? explain to me how they work i wish to know
i thought it would still be a chance since thats what the stat directly says, but educate me plz
So, how has engineering been for prot wars in m+ so far? I'm undecided on my second profession (don't need gold). I'm wondering what utility having engineering now really brings in m+; I've heard some people say good things about at flamethrower (?).
Just like with a quarter being a 1/2 chance if you take an average you’ll get around 50% for both sides
rocket boots i think and Brez
huge for a prot
how much does it cost to fully unlock brez
If you start adding weight to either side you’ll impact the results
The same is true for crit
TLDR adding crit is guaranteed damage and mitigation
How much and when is going to have some variance but that’s just the nature of it
Versatility is roughly equal to Critical Strike and better in some situations, as it is a source of flat constant damage reduction and not random like Parries provided by Critical Strike.
it says that on icy viens
Ok
I mean Mwahi is in here you can ask him exactly why he put that in there
But generally crit will be better offensively
And like Jakey said it’s equal defensively
afaik guide writers are obliged to write at least something for stat priority, even if the real correct response is always Just Sim It
It also depends heavily on situation
Fairly certain for example the quoted section is mentioned as “better in some situations” would be referring to damage that cannot be parried
Although largely people focus too much on stats
true
Grab ilvl, get haste if you can
im just asking bro chill lol
you ask wow nerds questions about theorycraft, you're getting a theorycraft lecture
Especially when you ask for an explanation
if you're poor whats a good alternative to Frozen Devotion?
dont feel like spending 30k on a weapon ill likely change in a week
sophic writ.
ty
If I got a spellbane cutlass at 392, worth valor upgrading or just stock up on valor for now?
Long term? Hold onto your valor
Best to use it to fill in gaps when gearing slows down
Any good Spell Reflect wa's out there?
Meeres playing ITF+Bolster in RWF, any particular reason? Or just preference
Well u need another block talent to keep 100% block uptime if u drop HR and ITF is more damage which they always go for.
And before u say well u only tank half the time
U dont on grimtotem if u arent tanking the boss your tanking the add
It's like 90% of the class, Korone-suki child.
I don't even know if it scales with ilvl, if we're talking about the auto attack ring
anyone find this useful, what on use proc do you take i just find it underwhelming overall and i kinda wanna try runing some other trinket
I have Dragon Games at 392, Burgeoning seed, Blazebinder's Hoof, Integrated Fire, Battle Scared Scale, Ancestral Protector's Stone but they're all 372-379 and i was thinking of runing any of them over the Whelp shell but not sure which one
Since the BV nerf i have found myself starving for rage. any recommendations?
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/us/stormrage/reepur
It
should have literally zero impact on your rage gen
I'd also recommend not running Barbaric Training
It's less rage efficient overall, and we're not struggling to dump rage or anything at the moment. We still dump it into IP, but Barbaric Training can actually make your rage economy a little awkward
What stance do you use for raid and m+ after it only reduce 15% dps
battle unless my healers yell at me (they dont my hp bar never moves)
i use Def stance outside of Avatar/TR/Ravager bursts
maybe if you're pushing Mythic raid and feel spooked, Defense
its pretty sad that we do not use def but the horrible negative dps
i will drop Barb training for Thunderous words, thanks all
that should actually help ALOT since i am using revenge alot more since i got my 2p
You're also rocking ITF without Bolster; you may potentially run into gaps in Shield Block uptime as a result, which is a bit of a concern
The only time I use def stance in raid is during raz beam and when other tank fails
i haven't gotten to use def stance because everytime I join a pug raid, I get told to DPS and that the tanks got it
and then the tanks do not, in fact, "got it"
We got us a new BIS mog lads
In raid it should be fine most of the time I think
It can potentially be worse in raid, because ITF is usually less ST DPS
You take ITF to do more AoE DPS
So i should drop Tough as Nails for bolster when running ITF?
Heavy Repercussions gives you more rage to work with as part of its effect; it's not just the SB extension
What talent setup are you rocking atm? Someone a calculator link for me to inspect
Usually that's the case. If you're not doing content where your life is in danger or you can cover it with defensives, externals, it's workable, but it's something to keep in mind.

what i'm using isn't technically the build that's in the pins, but that's the basic block all my builds are based on
(I swap the point off from Thunderlord into Battering Ram as the usual main difference)
i like battering rame a lot
hey ! i went over the consumables section of our wowhead guide and never saw mention of any kind of consumable or enchant we can use on shield. IS that true ?
even small buff id be curoius to know
u cant enchant shields or offhands
and no consumable buff ? like our howling rune ?
ok ty gala 🙂 ❤️
Would you prefer a weapon or the belt to craft? The neck is not possible on my server
U can sim it with droptimizer, but id go with weapon
I couldnt get neck either on my server, went with shield though
Just wait a week and get the neck
Are you guys changing to Fueled by Violence in Azure Vault for example?
What will change in a week?
More people having the recipe
Im kinda on a dead server, i gotta be very lucky with an actual JC getting it that wanna learn it and not someone who just wanna sell it for gold cap or something
nah, with my luck i'd work my ass off to level it and and get the recipe and right after that blizz buffs drop chance to where it's a 10min farm or something 
which trinkets u guys run ? got the HoV one with crit on it
Are there MDT routes that you would call the golden standard for pugging ?
I just run whatever has the highest ilvl
thats true, they changed that after mop because youd have 1h+offhand meta that allowed you to enchant main + get a stat enchant with raw mainstat on offhand
now they only allow enchants on mainhands for balancing reasons; same shit as removing the human racial because it allowes you to wear a procc an onuse trinket in pvp while still having a normal trinket(to get out of cc)
algethar puzzle and the wrathion scale for stats, but horn is also nice and better to use than puzzle (puzzle has 1,7 cast time; might be influenced by haste i dont know since its a weird numerical value)
puzzle,bone or horn are all good options for on-use trinkets if you dont get your hands on raid trinkets
(imo)
Yay, mastery
equals at around 20% attack power for me
id rather had a crit trinket but gotta work with that rn
hey which two piece we spend our spark on?
Anyone got any idea how the pvp helm is comparing to just running armor spikes on a slot?
Where Kultiran male?
Feel like this is a stupid question but I'd rather be sure: Block DR/value goes up with higher ilvl shield?
yes
poggies
thats why getting a high ilvl shield is pretty prio
only piece that gives us block
That's probably gonna be my next craft as soon as I finish my primal infusion
its a good craft
Hey is Neck, Head, and Waist still our bis embellish crafted gear as the pinned note from the 8th suggested ?
How does it compared to embellished weapon / shield ?
More like how does it compare to weapon/shield. Embellishments are good but they very likely are not better than a higher ilevel weapon/shield, embellishment or not
ya for sure. item lvl is still king.
I am wondering if we know yet which will be worth it in the long run.
Once upgraded to 418 item lvl, which ones could be upgrades still over 421 max lvl dungeon great vault counterparts.
Better to save valor for vault incase I replace something I would have upgraded?
Where do u guys get your MDT routes for before u modify them specifically for your group ? Like is there a safe good option e.g. quazii routes or icy veins
Or is everyone here a top push player that worked that out by himself on the beta ? 😄
https://pastebin.com/e5U5UcEF havent looked into these personally but these are Plkas routes he posted a while ago
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
I guess they are good for premade groups but less good with pugs due to fancy skips and stuff ?
he has both pug routes and "push routes" in the pastebin
he has plebs like us in mind
Thx alot brother
what's the best way to approach the last pack of temple of the jade serpent?
Hi, is Granyths enduring scale worth upgrading? is it one of our BIS trinekts for m+?
Lust, pop all dps CDs, pray, and kite when they enrage
no and no
rip, that shit is rough as a new tank
What are the go to trinkets then please?
ANd is it safe to say that Haste and versa are top stats? Without the need to sim for a tank?
It really is
what do u think about this trinket? Is it good for us or shit? Has pretty good stats
Stats are stats. Looks simmable
The lists says its the 3rd best m+ trinket, as im never raiding, so its not too bad 😄
gift of radiance any good?
@jagged junco
yes?
I have no clue, idk why he tagged me
Oh, he knows.
You guys ditching Enduring Alacrity for Impenetrable Wall?
ive never one played enduring alacrity
i dont know why u would even choose alacrity over wall
Wouldn’t have thought putting an extra point into bolster to run ITF would be more dam
But I’m also not a math wiz like you guys
technically is
Man, that cobalt assembly ring took 3.5mil damage away in my last run (IP did 13.5 mil ish).
At what point will ilvl outweigh the shield that ring gives?
Should we take the DPS Cobalt Ring then as Prot Warr?
I was using the tanking one.
crazy.
i expected them to get nerfed this reset but ah well
Oh shit, the ring is that strong? I know what i'[m doing later today. How long isthe farm to get to it?
it does about 5% of my dps
50min if youre fast kreiger
ring does about 2% of my damage, but the tank one is just stupid good
make sure to get the item that buffs the rep gains, at rank 2 or something :p
Can we buy both?
yes
yes, but cant wear both
Sweet, yeah no worries. Can swap in and out
can just swap depending on situation
on 17+ id recommend the tank one
its stupid good
Hey, is there a good helm I should be target farming besides the infurious plate one? My spark is already going to elemental probably
and I cant seem to drop one. I was looking at the sigil of storms one.
the folks i play with / my skill level, i'm wearing the tank ring at 13/14 level 😦
If I have a 382 Neck do i still need to go for Lafiat?
"need" is relative to your content, but afaik, the lariat is the best
At the quartermaster?
yeah
Hey Nome, if the rings are so good, why aren't they in the bis sets on wowhead? or is that strictly drops from M+/raid?
Hi guys, would anyone know when patch 10.0.5 will be released?
I only see the Cosmetics apart from the Pattern and RIngs
Im 3/5 Cobalt Assembly
Hey guys, im taking the plunge, im finally going to play Prot instead of fury, is Normal Dungeons a good place to begin trying to work on rotations and such
things will die way too fast in normal, maybe better to go into a heroic, or M0 alone, and grab some mobs and just go at it solo, grab bigger and bigger packs until you can't survive on your own mitigation/selfheals
this is going to sound so dumb, should i just go buy a cheap one hander and shield from AH
honestly you can just start with m0
go at 340 and you are immortal
get some practice on the mythic mechanics
ok thank you
Oh to be doing 17s without any teir 😂
it isn't much, but i did a +2 shadowmoon burial grounds last night
is not too bad tbh
with the right people its pretty smooth
my friends are freaking out about next week, supposedly bursting/grevious
grievous i can u nderstand i guess, but thats like, bad play+ bad healer, and you just mass dispel bursting
Full meta groups I assume rogue n dh?
Nice
makes me happy that arcane mage got some love and is now played
just a quick random group to farm 17s for gear
Oh some of ur dps have 4 pce lol, yeah that would be smooth haha
eh, tierset isnt that massive for most
like its ~4% dmg gain
nothing as absurd as SL tiersets which tripled your DPS
https://raider.io/mythic-plus-runs/season-df-1/2020311-2-shadowmoon-burial-grounds my baby key i ran last night
Is there a list on stuff to reflect in m+ for bosses and trash ?

Whats this shockwave crit build some top warriors are running?
im kind of curious about this as well now too
sounds like an aweful build to me
if its asmongold, he's a clown
like, he's not entirely clown, but most part i'd say yes, gets hard carried through cotent and funneled gear
i know for fact he was using shockwave builds for alot of past 3 weeks
If I had 1 extra point I would probably put it there.
ž
is the court ring still good prot? i have these two but i dont wanna replace my cobalt ring
you'd almost have to forego one hand spec
is about only thing you could really drop
to make it where you have avatar + bleeds + sonic boom
You dont want to drop 1 handed spec
and i don't think/know that dropping 1Hspec is worth
you dont ever drop 1 hand spec
thats what i mean, to keep all 3, UF, TW and SBoom you'd have to make a hard choice i think
u can play what u want we arent going to stop you
same with the shockwave build
but the shockwave build albeit it, it does sim close to the normal standard build
but using a stop as a dps cd
is just very very wrong
and shockwave build will do more damage the lower the content u run basically
which is why its so appealing to a lot of ppl atm
but it will put u in the habit of using shockwave all the time and will probably end up over lapping stunns and DRing mobs
which is very bad practice
Is tough as nails that much better then spell block? Being able to block all spells for 20 secs seems really strong to me
more the zeros i join that i seem to have issues in as opposed to that key i ran last night
Probably be useful in doing big pulls on quests in the world, or running a friend through norma / heroic dungeons to gear up
Shock wave build that is.
only real fuck up was allowed my self to get sucked up by the worm boss like, 5 times or so, im not certain precisely on that mechanic or the first boss
but it hink first boss is you get a debuff and you go to a white rune
tough as nails in genarl is more useful and does more
spell block is very niche
it has its places like jade serpent and RLPs
i think worm is he succc and then soon as you hit the hit box , it does the thing, so, im not aware of when to pre-run out
It will say he begins to inhale, just drop a pool nearby
like 3-5s to run there, plenty of time imo
i also skipped out all of legion, and wod, and half of pandaria ( i know jade temple fairly well, like 66% of what i need to know in there)
Do you have bigwigs/dbm? Have you seen the ability timeline weakaura? Pretty useful.
i did that key with no dbm/lw or dps meter enabled
why?
I don't use dbm either, the game should have a built in alert to tell you he is inhaling
nad the moon rune thing is a knowledge thing
ability team tracker, all the things, marking bar lives, MDT, scrap (vendor/repair at merchant)
those are only addons currently enabled (not installed, rest are installead but not used)
ok, but if you fail the same mechanic 5 times in a row, maybe consider getting dbm or bigwigs.
i just gotta work out how the mechanic works for next time, wont be difficult at all
Yeah, the game should give you an alert that he's gonna suck
It does, thats why dbm/bigwigs is able to track the timers.
All I'm saying is just look out for that and the boss is cake
All i'm saying is, this won't be a unique thing, get dbm or bigwigs.
was succesfully able to convince group not to interupt the MC on second MC pack - life could be dream
So cobalt ring bis whole tier if remains untouched?
dbm isn't a silver bullet, build habit of looking at baseline alerts; if you're at level where this is a problem dbm won't fix it
On this specific boss, you have both a visual queue and a sound queue. It's not that difficault, i agree. I dont agree on the last part. dbm is designed to reduce brain powering going into searching for those queues.
I get that, but I think for some players is can do more harm than good; been in plenty of raids where people have all the tools but still can't do it. At a point it might be better to get rid of some of the clutter addons for player who is having a hard time tracking cues.
So if they can't follow the most basics of concepts, a timer countdown in front of them, front center of their screen, how are they gonna do better without it? That's a player problem, not a addon problem.
that's literally my point
at what lvl of raid/M+ are you reffering to?
i have a questions about the elemental lariat, should i get 3 haste sockets or 3 different? actually no clue how the procc works
Then i'm unsure what your point is tbh
"That's a player problem, not a addon problem."
Yeh, but in what world does that default to "dbm being bad"?
Addons like that are nothing but helpful, no reason to not have them, it allows you to use mental resources elsewhere. Saying it does more harm than good in any situation is just referring to people without enough brain power to do the fight anyway.

DBM is the equivilant of adding a shitty GPS system from walmart costs 200 bucks to your 2005 honda miata or whatever car and then your buddy expects you to make the 6 hr trip in 4 now and always take best roads and never get in a crash
But you're advocating for not having dbm, like, i dont see any reason why you would not have it.
No. Dbm is your friend expecting you to know when to turn.
Sure, you could play the game fine without dbm, that seems to be the point
what boss are we saying is impossible without DBM now? like whats happening 🤣 🍿
**B E W A R E **

It was never about being impossible. Yogi struggled with queues on the worm sucky boss and I asked if had the abilitity timeline WA and suddendly we're discussing if dbm is causing more harm than good. Which i dont think..
from what i can tell one side is refusing to make their point clear and the other is a very lukewarm yes you should use it
sounds plausible
worm boss is quite easy without a DBM addon, just stand in the bones after it lands
he starts inhaling after bones
Now you're missing the point nielsen xD
B O N E S
B E W A R E RUN AWAY LITTLE GIRL became huge memes in any guild i've ever been in
literally all I said was if you're having a hard time with the inhale boss even with dbm maybe turn it off and just look for the built in cue
and i believe it says in the chat "worm is about to inhale" no?
then it became a what-about convo
i just have to learn the worm thing is all, it'll click for me soon enough
any discussion with yogi goes like this, its amazing 😄
when it says inhale literally just leap to a puddle
leap to a puddle of B O N E S
Or hear me out, pop a speed potion and just leg it, be the warrior we all want you to be.
So, what defensive CD's are you fellas using for the Razgeth beams in the last phase?
Imagine saying be a warrior and using a fucking potion
sigh...
potions are love, potioms are life
healing potions exempt
no clue how often it happens but you can probably use Spell Reflect on all of them, and then Shield Wall on some of them
guys what potion is best for us? i have searched wowhead and did not find
i was just trying to lighten the mood bro, cheer up
I was joking too
thanks @craggy pilot
what about invisibility potion or "don't die" type potion, like, can't be stunned or some shit
there are a few options, as stated in the wowhead guide
I even said "imagine"
spellreflect shieldwall and demo, first one i think it was shieldwall spell reflect, then demo + external + spell reflect if tiss up
didnt do Raz myself though, so take it with a grain of salt
just remember spell reflect is DR even if you cant reflect it
those extra armor potions for 20 second was stupid idea in SL, they probably made them in DF but i didnt look enough to see
well, stupid for pwar anyhow
how far are you gonna take this? i was memeing 😂
warriors always take it to the limit
guys talking about potions on warr and i just RP
the phials i have been using are tepid versa
they are pretty cheap and do a tank thing
use eye
Macroing elemental potions to avatar turned out to be a very expensive lesson xD
simply click the potion B^)
close, i lvled alchemy so I can make them cheap but still end up buying them on ah 😄
it is always cheaper to buy from AH
proff has never felt more like a trap than this iteration, kinda hate it.
literally only have alch for hour long phials
I rolled mining/herb on my pala. Tried to farm but I just can't take it. It's so mindlessly boring
better off selling a rank 5 crafted piece
like 50k a pop
then buying your mats, which aren't too insanely expensive imo; 1.5k for a phial is not bad
Just one potion is 900g on my realm. Haven't bought phials as I was lucky and made a ton while doing experiments for alchemy, so not sure about their price but 1.5k is a lot for 30 min xD
it's 1 hour for alchemists though
oh wow the potions were 500g a pop the other day rip
Hello Guys. I have 2x Sparks now, any BiS item i should craft? as Protection Warrior ( M+)
Yes i think the strategy will be to fill up on herbs now, and sell early in next season when potions are in high demand, it's mythic plus people wanting them
Herbs are flooded now
looks like Lariat is the big juice
haste mastery on it?
🤷♂️ that is now beyond my knowlege
ok thank you
looks people gem it with mastery haste or primary haste or haste
haste vers too i guess. lots of options
item on AH
can i put the stats i want on Lariat?
yes
nice how is that item called
cheers bud
What's a realistic commission cost for lariat
Tiered setting
Spell block
buy tiered medallion rank 2 use it , then rank 3 and use it again
that will give you 3 sockets
Bit offtopic but any1 able to be a lifesaver and tell me where I can stream the WC final? 😮
yes wc final
it good!
minor whine but first time ive been able to m+ this week and im already stuck in the pugs that dont understand basic boss mechanics 
i mean its been 4 days of m+ barely and alot of people are either coming back or new so thats understandable
i ran one pug and the rest i just had to play with guildies
its gonna continue like that until youre able to do +15s easily where more peopel are gonna know what they're doing
yeah i get it just know that if i could've played a lot tues/weds id be in a much better pack of players, but nevermind, long season we'll get there
Add btags of good players and go from there
My team basically ditched for classic (??? Ptr testing 10 year old content???) And in the last 3 days I've added 10 people. Tons of great players that are held back from staying in lfg forever.
With the new season coming up it's time repost how to get a consistent push group.
Works every time
Every season.
its very simple advice and easy to follow. do ALL these steps and you'll be good. don't skip any of the steps. start by pugging stuff, friend request the people you wouldnt hate to run with again. keep inviting them. get better. get on voice. talk things out. become friendly. start dating the healer. get your all 15 feat of strength. keep pushing. things are good. the dps are your best men in the wedding to your healer. next season the healer starts running with a different tank occasionally. you get more distant from the group. they tell you theyre too busy in the week for your weekly vault runs. things get bad at home. the healer wants a divorce. your heart is broken. you hear the new tank is pretty good at the game and that somehow makes you feel worse. but its totes okay cuz its a new season and you can pug more stuff, send out more friend requests, keep inviting them...
Very important to date the healer 
It's true
What if your healer is your cousin?
I keep adding people or people want to add me but its like we just never run again. Its weird.
maybe it's you?
You talk to them and try to schedule or are they just chillin on your list and neither sides reach out?
You should be here more. One because I miss you. Two because this channel needs a bear, just saying. ❤️
Talk to them? Nah. I dont do that. I wait for them to talk to me. i'm too shy :x
Picture unrelated no bears in sight
But yes, we're just chilling. At this point, i dont even know who a third of the people are on my friend list
thanks bud found it 🙂
For Dathea normal, do you tank both adds on one tank? On the boss or near an edge?
Thanks!
can you change the secondary stats on an item after its crafted?
Recraft with different missive I assume? But don't know if missives are an option on recrafts, I just expect it to work like that
adds spawned, he clawed and insta dead
Is your group stacking? It's split damage
all these tankbuster oneshots feel so horrible this week
question my details is showing that i only have a 86% uptime on sheild block
I am fairly confident that i am at a 100%
thanks, will check!
Think I’m just gonna stay away from nukhold and azure the whole season
Fenryr
Do you log keys? Best way to determine sb uptime is by looking at % blocked hits in the melee portion of dmg taken
i try to
so I'm going between 3 gears for my craft
neck, wep (axe since it has a higher dmg window) and shield
I can craft 2 and I'm thinking about going with wep and shield
I won't be doing mythic raid but will be clearing the heroic, what do you guys thing
craft legs
why, what does the legs give
Still kinda learning ins/outs of prot. Obviously shield block always up.. but do I want to try to keep IP up and use the rest of rage on revenge? Or put IP up only when I know big damage is coming my way?
the wowhead guide has a detailed explanation of the rotation including how to spend rage
Is it because of scarcity?
I'm still running blue legs /facepalm
Ok cool thx!
Has anyone figured out if Pyroblast is reflectable on Mythic Eranog?
first boss of nok have you normally been setting off the weapons or healer/dps job?
usually a ranged dps
I do first with leap, healer does second, boss dies before 3rd
What dungeon is this
Al'gethar?
Does anyone have tips on dealing with ALgethar academy first boss?
It's gotta be worth it to spec into this
Nok
tree? kill big tree add.
elemental? soak orb
Can you elaborate on tree boss
That mechanic splits damage
You stack everyone in melee encircling boss to split damage, spread out for leap, run from fixate, but at all times you default to stack up
Adds spawn at player location, you want everyone stacked roughly together on the tank, then you rotate around in the same direction (pick ahead of time, clockwise or whatever), then after three waves of swirlies the adds spawn, all tightly packed for mass AoE.
A treant gets spawned after that which needs kicked, then you rinse wash repeat. Good boss for lust.
and specifically when that treant dies, it leaves behind a circle you all want to stand in to clear the huge dot the boss puts on everyone and it healsy ou
the circle is the thing most people ignore and the healer can only dispell one at a time
If people get split up, it’s fine just try and stay near the boss too
wtf is the boss on Academy 🤔
tree boss
even with 3x 90k dps we cant get him down on +11
You need big aoe
Save CDs for add intermissions
It’s the only way it works
we had MASSIVE aoe, and shit was dying so fast in 2 add phases
We couldn’t do the 12 we re rolled it
but then boss doesnt die before 3rd phase
anyone know if the M+ vault works like the raid vault with the loot
like how the drops from raid vault are only from bosses u defeat
No it’s from the whole pool
okok thats what i thought
- tier from raid too, I believe(?)
so if i just go spam +15 sbg i get loot from all dungeons
Correct
The dot trucks pretty hard if you reach the second set of adds and you don’t clear it with the tree swirly mentioned moments ago
Good lust boss, save mass taunt for second wave of adds
Also dwarves op
Tell your dps to press buttons better
Flask
Combat pot
shocking disclosure pots are hella cheap, good dam
the barkbreaker tank hit?
is that dispellable?
dot gets wiped from standing in the circle from branch death
Posted literally right before yours
does the circle the Heal Tree drop heal other Trees?
ya
ah so i need to somehow tank the boss out of the circle, but have all team in the circle 🤔
not a single soul on my server can craft a shield 
EU?
yeah
what server?
AD, theres no cross realm crafting right?
no cross realm, correct
AD?
not that big of a deal if they heal the small ones
you can only craft with connected realms
yea but it heals the boss as well no?
don't think so
Argent Dawn you mean ?
ah ok
Argent Dawn is only connected to "The Scryers" so ye 🤔
Its an easy boss
Just gotta do it properly
We failed a bunch but go it now
Helps to be in voice ofc
But main thing is to lust 2nd set of adds
The first set just stands there, the 2nd set actually attacks
So for the first set drag boss around and get as many as you can
And lust the 2nd set
Also helps to split cds for burst forth.
We did it on a 14 +2 with evoker/fury/outlaw, each dps popped burst for a set of burst forth
They just disappear then stacks aren't an issue
Also get ranged to stack so they pop up in a tighter area.
Also helps prot is ez 100k dps on burst too lol
^ yeah that. Stack on tank for the erupt, rotate same direction
Yea this is big too, I always call quaking as well since that can fuck up the stacking this week
what should our 1h wep enchant be?
sophic
I just tried a +16 TJS, everything went fine until the Sha and Doubt adds, where i feel like i cant tank them. The Claw attack from Doubt sha hit me for 250 and haunting gaze hit for 350k (Was Raged), feel like its just insane how hard they hit - Does anyone have a video of a TJS 15+ timed i can watch and learn from?
spell block is clutch for that dungeon and the scary sha
claw only hits if you're in melee so you can kite if you need to
Do you tank them? I though u just get agroo and run for your life
You can't really facetank them
Well i did end up doing that LoL
I play the Shadowlands S1 VDH tactic in that last Sha pack.
Go in, burst, pop stuff, when stuff runs out, I leap away and scream like a little girl
Stuns and gtfo
The haunting gaze can be casted from range though, which is harder to get away from
Healer needs some fun 
Would spell block help that? I have a 12 Jade so looking for more info b4 I jump in
am I dreaming or did warriors have 2 charges of heroic leap available to them?
I am actually not sure, i believe it does not, but i might be wrong - Think its physical dmg from ranged? Well i aint sure LuL
spell block/reflect is good vs defiling mists and the gaze which is still stunable but not reflectable
TJS with pugs is probably the hardest thing I've done in a looong time in this game
Fury pvp talent I think?
Theres never a situation you manually rend right?
no never
you could tc>rend for 6 rend targets but that aint worth the struggle since you clap so much in avatar youll have rend up anyway
yes you right
for people struggling in tjs on adds infront of endboss, you can pull the adds out and your group goes los at either side of the stairs
any fun cool dps builds for prot that still wont make me a super glass canon
The pins have builds that shift more to damage at the cost of survivability, but also you can use the flexible talents to go into more damage heavy builds, like in m+ if your group has enough stuns you can opt out of the stuns and put into any of the good dps talents/choice nodes. Theres also the max parse build in pins for raid
Is BV still not working properly?
Yes still bugged
cheers
Have we got any haste cap as prot?
I wish there was a talent for triple heroic leap like the legion legendary
I miss bunny warrior
30% iirc, but not sure could be wrong
i just got a ruby whelp shell drop, can i just slap it on and not worry about it or do ihave to train it or something?
no
You do a targeting thing once with whelp shell to influence the rng but it is still all rng
Like targeting an enemy makes it more likely to use damage over heal/stat boost
But it can still do any of the effects
@lofty widget@fallen pulsar thanks. Im asking, because I have got 3 slots for sockets and I don't know if I should maximilize haste or take vers+haste gems
This is my stats without any buff
True, I forgot about htat
I did a plus 8 where I was second on overall dps and the group yelled at me at the end that my pulls b4 the first boss were sloppy
this is a 12 idk what the fdk is doing
Getting carried by you it’s seems lmfao
I swear on burial, there was never a void spawn on the left side with the casters, now all of the sudden, big guy is teleporting every so often from left to right
I think tons of dps pugs forgot what their interrupts/cc buttons do
Maybe I just didnt see it before
Afaik the add packs do a summoning ritual to move the void, so if you take too long they summon to the other side
this is a good thing for shadowmoon burial grounds so they don't interupt the MC cast
True
Ah, that explains it, but I thought once you aggroed them, they'd stop,
They should
i just hold W in dungeons don't think about that crap too much
keys are very forgiving time wise, pulling 1 pack at a time with decent dps is enough to safely clear if not +2 a key
evoker didnt lust last boss could have 2 chested also lol
evokers can do blood lust too? also something i don't worry about
Yep
yes, and pala can now BR
never ever enters my mind at all unless i've been told "lust bird 30%"
i just let the lust person do what they are going to do
If they remember, 
;D
i did that in LFR
on paladin, got some brez out, i wanted to test out pally and that ability
hey guys how do i find the balance between spamming revenge and ignore pain?
Is there any point to spend all the rage on ignore pain on cd or what it's limits
thanks in advance
I got a similar problem where I torn on using IP to survive while also wanted to use revenge to get aggro
If the damage is not high you can get away with less IP, if IP is near full or not about to time out, its safe to revenge, if you just feel like hitting revenge and letting your healer deal with it then dont hit ignore pain 😉
Idk it becomes a feel thing, you get an idea of how much you’re getting smacked and how much you really want to ignore that pain
rule of thumb: only press IP to avoid rage-capping
so are there no set pieces atm? or am i wrong
is there a trick to dathea? with the taunt swap got kicked on normal because we kept ending up with 3 stacks i could charge and be fine the other warrior could not so i got kicked, assuming i did something wrong then
id assume its like every other taunt swap but the time just doesnt line up or he got cliped by something?
You need to swap after 3 stacks afaik, you can land just at the edge of the arena when hit 3rd time if you position yourself correctly
Yeah swap after 3
Notice the arena isn't smooth circle, there are parts which extend slightly further
Aim for them to be safe
The debuff lasts too long to swap before 3 as well
have you guys tested both hoof and ruby shell? Which one is better from your experience. Haven't gotten to test hoof yet
Obviously as warrior you can easily take more stack to let other tank clear so he can take just 2
I prefer hoof
Ruby whelp shell is too rng
I think if it consistently procs the damage, it would be better but you have very little control over it, it might just cast heal over and over
Like crafting?
If yes, you want weapon + embellishment. Whereas shield you can grab from m+
Might have a decent shield already but a shite mh
i have a 389 wep rn dunno what to use my spark on
i used one of my sparks on some BS cause i didnt know how they work
yeah, I could craft a shield right now at 405, or the mainhand
Getting a 418 mh with embelishment + enchantment means you dont have to worry about it again for along time too
Idk about everyone else, but the T3 enchants are 90k on my AH lol
they are pretty insane here too
Were 300k last week.. so its gotten a little better ;D
should i craft the embellish wrists or shield y'all think
376 wrists, 382 shield
im between the wrists and the belt for my spark but i made a primal molten belt already like an idiot
I think if you can, try to shoot for a lariat with the spark. Try to gather the mats and get a work order
i was thinking that too but i have the wrathion 389 neck already so i was just gonna make the lariat with the 3rd spark
In the end, remember all the embelishments are like.. 1.5% dps increase
So.. its not a huge deal
i dont really care about the dps increase, more about just having the high ilvl piece for now
and trying not to craft it in slots where im gonna put tier gear or other better pieces
Then yeah probably getting the biggest leap in ilvl helps a lot
alright i think i'll make the wrists then for now
i'll have that and the lariat as my two embellishes till i get more bis pieces and then i'll decide if i wanna replace the wrists later or not
Question, what are you lot crafting with your sparks? or are you holding on to ir?
i think the best things to craft with it rn are items you know you will keep for the whole tier
Weapon and neck...maybe sombody craft shield
so lariat seems like it will be bis neck for the whole tier so thats a no brainer
and then whatever your other embellishment is
weapon and shield is a good idea too just for the ilvl
If you have a high ilvl in one probably best to get the other
Mythic first drop shield..so i think if u can make weapon first and later neck
so i think embellish belt or wrists will be the best
neck is expensive
how expensive?
depends on your realm
guildie spend 50k on Stormrage
40-30k in my realm :((
405 ran me about 50k through all mats and comission on illidan
Weapon impacts output heavily. Its a big slot
its really not expensive thats like one key sale split 4 ways
How do you guys handle the last trash in temple? It's like a train
pop everything and pray worked for us, barely though
There's almost more casts than kicks and stuns
It's crazy
Bosses are all trivial, but the trash in that place wth
Most of the time it’s like 50k for public orders, or you can whisper the people who can make them directly and get a cheaper price (15-35k)
I wouldnt risk a public order, someome can make it at the bare minimum quality
you guys running the damage proc ring from Cobalt, or the shield proc?
Shield
I run damage
Damage is fine until you can't do it anymore
damage proc
You'll know when the Sha of doubt hits you for half your health 

the trash is harder than the boss
I only have an issue with shas of doubt on the last pull when theres 3 lol
jeez, +12 ruby and no dps on 1st boss... i was doing more dps than a DK... and i was in Dstance 🤦

The group claw eviscerates
Yep you can't take it
kicks and stuns have to be great in temple
and when theres no more pop shield wall and prayge
Pug dps is very hit or miss and usually miss in my limited experience lmao
I usually out dps at least one of the dps
The only anecdotal thing I’ve noticed is any ret paladins I invite are usually the incarnation of tyrion fordring and top dps
true
mage is hit or miss
you get the gigachad arcanes or the frost/fire only mains
I’ve only been blessed by the presence of one good arcane mage in my runs but my god they were literal orbital space lasers
anyone know of an updated spell reflect list for season 1?
thank you, i checked the guides-resources-faq and it was outdated, didnt think about the pins
same but i hardly invite mages anymore
pretty uncommon and if i do see them theres someone that has better stats
I’m 1390io on my rdruid and am so frustrated at general pug tanks that I’m considering mainswapping to my prot war.
Are pug healers going to annoy me just as much?
Are you guys running Roar or Shockwave build?
roar is more damage but i actually prefer shockwave after using it
25 second aoe stun is really nice to have
Thats what i thought aswell
also does decent dmaage so youre not sacrificing a huge amount
pugs + early season with new dungeons is always frustrating imo
Do we have any like recommende talents for raid i dont see it in pins
or are the wowhead icyveins guides the ones we should follow
on a healer you might be frustrated with tanks, on a tank you'll probably be frustrated with lack of interrupts / DPS butt pulling
not sure I would get worked up over the first week of M+ in a new expac
Yes
pugging Ruby Life Pools is fun
people are clueless in that dung omfg
everyone 385+ ilvl yet cant clear +11
all of them 1100+ r.io
what site u guys use for m+ routes atm ?
the dungeons aren't uniformly difficult, so it's easy to pick up io points in a high SMB or smth
The only thing I look at is the best key they've done in the dungeon I'm looking for
fucking Key rng hates me, i literally had RLP 6 times out of 18 keys
I kept getting Jade > AA > Jade > ...
classic
and when pugging RLP, seriously 0 people sign up
only people who sign up havent done RLP before
It's just harder, why do it except for io
i do it cus i got it as a key
🤷♂️
i was spamming shadowmooons just to reroll my key
ruby life pools is overrated in difficulty
the damage is consistent and predictable
but players are inconsistent and unpredictable
can you explain it to the pugs that die within 7 seconds of first boss?
like he literally got hit by hailstorm 7 seconds into the boss
got oneshot
how high of a RLP did you time so far @south zealot ?
thats people being dumb not the dungeon being hard
12 and an untimed 14 are my highest in that dungeon
with premade?
what are plk routes?
but the 14 was pugged
This is how I feel when my tanks die and blame me 😅
people die left and right in my pugs
even after hunter said "been in this dungeon all day"
😄
funniest thing ever
plkatv is a guy
looking for a embellish to slap on my wep for the meantime , whats worth while taking ? I have fangs atm and its meh
ah thank you
trick for ruby life pools is just taking tanky dps specs
or ones with good self healing
bronze wrappings ?
fang is best one afaik
sheeit , kk thank you
yeah embellishments are supposed to be kinda weak
what is everyone crafting with their second spark? I currently have the neck
seems like helm or belt
i just got massively flamed for pulling the 3 bats with the worm on shadowmoon
but thats normal aint it lol
windwalker and outlaw rogue
i always do that
weird
i had some guy yelling at me to pull around all the pillars in court of stars lmao
out DPSing me by 6k
Is Defier Draghar required in RLP to start the first boss?
especially with spellreflecting one of the bats
what is defier draghar
The big mob before the boss room that does the charge
hes ez pz anyways
It's basically 6% trash you don't need, though.
ok so I am struggling to figure out why the guides are rating the Ruby Whelp Shell so high. All three 24 hour buffs seem to have very low up time and are not doing much. Sims show it really low compared to my other trinkets but I realize that proc trinkets don't always sim great. Any thought on if this trinket is worth and if so what 24 proc you are using with it?
It's 5/10
And the on use only increases the chance to get the proc you want
Which remains 2/6 or w/e
It has 2 dmg proc 2 heal procs and 2 stat procs apparently
I've used it for all of the first 2 weeks pre-m+ and it's just super rng
You using the stat buff increased chance?
It's sporepods 2.0, amazing if it procs when you want it, and super garbage 90% of the time when you don't want it
I used it on the dmg procs exclusively
And it's still super rare
anyone craft a shield?
Yes I have
recommended?
I'm just waiting to find a guy to upgrade it to 418
which one did you craft
Armor spikes is nothing special
It's like 0.7-1.3% of your dps in keys if you play well
More if you play poorly
gotcha, I'm sorta curious about the fire damage helm paired with the rings from raid
did you use level 3 primal molten alloy, seems expensive
I used all rank 2 mats for a R5 lariat proc first try to 405 , copium
yes i used r3 stuff
@strong forum 
play bad on purpose for more damage

Так это хуйня какая то жеж
searching history i see people have asked why the whelp shell is so good and no one answered. But yeah its simming really poorly for me. Is it super defensive?
was literally just responded to
its giga rng
m+ has no good trinkets pretty much
lol surprise, my RLP changed to Halls 😄
i still got a 15 halls to run
did like 18 keys
6 of them Halls 6 of the RLP
now i got RLP key, and wanted to swap it so i did someone else Shadowmoon
and got it swapped to ofc a Halls 🤣
dont think i had an Azure Vault yet
and only had 1 Nokhud
and 1 Temple
bad stats
I feel like that effect is better than 200 secondary stat
Its like 1% at most difference in a secondary
Real question. I want to hard swap from dps to tank. Is prot war going to get nerfed y’all think?
Nobody knows
But it will always be better compared than SL prot warr
probably
what can we to on boss (overgrown ancient) +15 come to much dmg for DDs and wipe
and adds come so fast
People gotta drop stacks
focus big tree to clear bleed
and stack on tank to pack up adds
have big consistent aoe classes
take bitter immuunity
Also 3 melee dps is the way to go
Ranged players go panic mode when they have to move
ok ok ❤️ thx
That boss will most likely get nerfs on wednesday tho
Copium
its not
blazebinder is one of the better trinkets from m+
is that really saying much tho
The ancient add he spawns instantly does a bleed on all parties, when that add dies (not the small ones) he leaves a greenish circle which will cleanse the bleed AFAIK.
Never had trouble with the little adds, as long as people clear their stacks
bring a ww with poison dispel
Any suggestions for first boss of RLP? Just zerg the shield down during whelp spawn?
Yeah
pmuch
Need to drop that shield then kick it
break shield gg
you get 2 whelp spawns total on that boss
ok
just be dwarf 4head
dwarf model 🤢
chu mean
That makes sense. Also, I really dislike RLP
dwarves are by far the best race in any fantasy world
tru
also anything is better than vulperas and gnomes
pandaren better
pandaren is a joke class that blizzard released cuz they ran out of ideas at the time
fem orc for life (dark iron change literally processing rn)
fem orc is allowed cuz good proportions
ngl once theres cross faction guilds im going dark iron dwarf
sir pandaren are a race, not a class.
oh mb
male pandaren are the best
Joke race*
they attack so cool
Pandaren are dope
better than vulperats i guess
They existed back in WC3
And vanilla WoW
as an easter egg
Not an Easter egg when you play Chen Stormstout
who cares what race u play when u can buy blueberry mufins and be a tuskarr
wasnt part of the main campaign at all, you had to do very specific stuff to unlock chen
true, tuskarr best race
It wasn’t that specific
well yeah not that hard, get to the map corner and get the 3 barrels
still not part of the main story tho
made the game easier
is melandrus ring good for us?
melandrus ring is bis yes
i have seen thderous 5 times already and havent won one 
bro I havent seen one yet
neither have it
i havent seen a weapon yet either
23 keys this week and no weapon
is Vault drop capped at 18?
45 keys and a total of 2 upgrades 🙂
at 20 as far as i know
i got like 6 trinkets 4 necks

vault capped at 20 ye
so 20 is 421?
ye
19 is same as 18?
ye
I'd like to get into tanking and want to get used to a WeakAuras profile while practising in normal dungeons.
Which one would you guys suggest?
real gamers go haste crit
i wanna clear 20
