Or on your prof page ?
It doesn't show on crafting orders page
That's in the prof page
Show the whole screen ๐ค
Iยดm getting desperate, canยดt do the third boss of jade
after the jade serpent strike I always get deleted
without searching for something
interesting
can anyone help please?
wall one, healer external second, spell block third
throw in a demo shout where u need it
SR as a DR too
Do you need to learn recraft at trainer ? ๐ค
I don't remember on engi if I had to
Yeah I can't see it as an option at the trainer, very confused
Thunderclap is your prio
If you are overgearing the encounter you might use more revenge for damage and rage dump
even with the tier buff?
If you don't press Revenge naturally before it falls off, you've messed up somewhere
And that
Its difficult to explain the prio nowadays
It generates rage, but it's less damage than revenge in ST without Unstoppable Force
But its on a longer cd as well
The tier set is just a flat buff so you should have that up pretty much 24/7 anyway
Which is where u get your revenge casts in
U wont have it up in execute phase tbh
Not enough rage gen in ST
but jakey, just simply optimize for that minor DPS gain ๐
if you just properly weave a single revenge in the maintain the uptime at optimal moments, you get like,
what, was it like 250 DPS Nome said?
400-500
Just revenge on any procs and you should have it up enough to still sexecute
He probly has enough haste to do enough revenges in the thunderclap window
which item i should craft next with spark? i have a elemental lariat and 1 spark left
Prot Warrior M+ only no raid
Why is thinderclap still a prio over revenge when u need the tier buff?
You never cast Thunder Clap back to back; you have globals in between that you can cast other spells.
Yer hes being allowed to cheese on adds
Even during Avatar, you have a GCD in between.
The adds in my guold die within 2 seconds
Shield or wep is good
This. You'll still be casting plenty of revenges if you keep thunder clap on cd
also I guess I should I use the defensive before the strike right? Instead of for the debuff.
Also that guy wasn't using any defensive hardly
Debuff should be instant dispell
He only used sb 6 times in a 4 min fight
Also I donโt think you canโt reflect it, the Jade one
No but u can spellblock it
I wouldn't look at mythic raiders for tips on general rotation
Reducing the dmg right?
They are normally doing weird shit as a team
ye with the spellblock talent
How about in a almost patchwerk st fight like terros? At the end of the fight should there be more revenge casts or thunderclap?
Thanks!
You will probly cast more revenge cause it doesn't have a cd
Just like genereal rule of thumb in a way cause somtimes not casting enough revenege will overcap rage even with tc on cd. That is where i get confused
Use this document to check what u can block/reflect, its pretty useful https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vS26lkSc_eaulHX7-UY8Uu-7DAHvkScxh3npd0kQn3uvvWsgsQm9ducLUi4R2mb7ieNluVilyq5sQe5/pubhtml#
If your capped on rage that's a different question
Keep in mind spell block only blocks the initial hit and does nothing for the dot it leaves. You still wanna SR for the DR together with spell block.
If your capping rage u need to dumb more of it into ip
Don't focus on how many casts there are in a fight that's the wrong thing to be looking at
Ohhhhh the newbie in me did now know that it reduces cd of avatar
so just for this dungeon I should talent into spell block, like a must?
Itโs a nice talent in TJS.
Can you do it without it?
Yes
Why in The logs of mythic no one casts ignore pain
What would be the sequence of defensives without it?
Because your looking at the top ppl, who are going for damage because they arent struggling in the fights
And the first 2 dont matter they do no damage
Even if your grp is struggling, go for dmg and blame the healers
When its gets to prog u will see it more.
Pwar is a dps in disguise
Also for some reason lots of then are running barbaric so they dont have the rage to ip
In the Profession Spells category. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date with the latest patch (10.0.2).
Sorry. I was looking at dmg doneโฆ.. mybad
Is this a good item on 405 for prot warrior m+?
Thatโs like the 1 item you shouldnโt craft
what would you recomend ? i have lariat on 405 alrdy and now 1 spark left to craft something
'What squeak, he casts it so much is it a dps increase'
I was with a warrior that has a macro? Everytime he casts thunder clap he yells in chat โclaps with benefits!!โ Why do people do that? Seems like he is spamming
Thats a fast way to an ignore
I already have reflect /s and frontal /s and that feels kinda spammy ๐
Oh and rally /s
Saw some people have wa that do /s when they wall and shit, to tell the healer ๐๐
Yes but why thunder clap?
I used to macro song lyrics into my abilities when i was 14
Rp purposes probably ๐
Some people like weird shit
If the healer needs to know they should install OmniCD
Had a paladin who would spam all kinds of weird shit in /y when he did wings etc
Avatar for khaaaazmodaaan like muradin in wc3
Maybe he has a talent that thunder clap has beneficial buffs? Is there a route that way? If not i dont know what โclaps with benefitsโ means
He would be like "BONKAI" when he popped wings ๐
Bankai
hi guys I'm checking WCL rankings and I see no goblins at all so I'm thinking of race changing. any tips for horde races and why? like their throughput, M+ usefulness, cheesing raids, or just looking the best
But iirc they never yelled bankai
Pick any race bro, it does no difference
Huh?
But bleach is a z tier anime
Oh it's anime shit? ๐
% or actual terms?
???
๐๐๐
I always choose based on their racials. I know that HMT is great for it's knockdown+movement for example, vulpera for M+ mitigation, or belf for AoE purge and tmogs. I'm just asking if anyone has their favorite race so I don't miss any cool racials I could consider.
They are insanely close in functionality, so there is no racial tier list currently
dwarf > all
Panda master race
Panda master race ye
2x food buff โฅ๏ธ
Their rage gen is already quite high i guess
stoneform is to op
panda's niche is the paralyze racial right, that also sounds nice for m+
my guild is horde sadly
Well that and food buff x2
Panda can be horde
was replying to the dwarf racial, I wish I could have that
Pick a race you think look good tbh
Racial is usually secondary
It's a fantasy game after all
Otherwise vulpera kinda sick for m+ ๐
because of the 5% first hit absorb? or is their active ability also good?
But is 4,7% of hunter DPS higher than 5,3% of dk dps?
Absorb
Lol arms loses DPS? ๐ค
Because arms already has enough rage
how are things getting negative
Idk if its just me but ive literally never used panda incapacitate
Death Knight got some real bad luck in those sims
I forgot it existed
Its not great it only 4s so hardly worth it
and its not ranged so dps just break it out immediatly anyway
more iterations then
I use it as an extra pummel ๐
Panda this!
I also learned about the racial from mitch jones
But man the epicurean is ๐
2x Food buff, and now it doesn't even run off when i die ๐
Thanks babes
I still want PI as arms warrior, because then its easier for me to stay ahead of competition ๐
Can you just move Prot warrior up a bit so i can post this to my guild cheers
Prot warr +10k
Photoshop it ๐
Seems best for our raid comp is either BM or boomie
stop seeing people play devoker for... some reason
i can't believe me clamoring for every kind of DPS buff is 10/10 optimal
this is truly the xpac of all time
Pala season buff and PI ๐
we should also continue to discourage playing ele shaman for DPS shamans
I was popping so much harder than the DPS in one of my pug raids that I went, "hey, it'd be funny if you put the windfury shaman in my group" and they actually did it
it's been so long since i've actually been granted the opportunity to take advantage of it that i went power mad
wait isnโt wf not a flat dps increase?
We have 2 enh in our guild, according to the wf wa I have the second highest wf dmg
prot has one of the highest % gains from WFT
but that doesn't always mean it's the best for overall raid dps
I'm preparing for next spark, is the armor spike embelishment still the best?
Ah ye ok, did you base the PI results on already having WFT?
Cus that could explain the Arms being so poor ๐ค
How does arms look if they don't have Wft, and gain PI? ๐ค
How do you pull bosses like eranog, raszageth or kurog, when you need to move them immediatley to a different position.
I felt like charging in, makes this process slower, but that seems to be mostly an issue at kurog
MD's help, also taunt on pull to keep it on you for a while
Yeah, i did taunt HT spam
Intervene a monk or something
or like a second into pull to have it focus you while you position
Okay, thanks guys
this way just felt so clumsy
so i thought I'd ask in case i miss sth obvious
tyvm
sorry if this has been asked before, but do you guys know where Spell-Block is a must-have in M+??? some guy here jsut told me you can use it on 3rd boss from TJS i.e. and it makes the fight trivial according to him
It's a must have in the dungeons where you struggle with magic dmg
Temple is a good candidate
Maybe first boss, didn't do too much RLP this week so not 100% sure
2nd boss murder is a dot
Also depends what lvl keys you're doing
spell block won't do a lot on 2nd boss
I just think of spell reflect like shield wall for bosses
guys is there a way to track reliably claw frenzy at fenryr?(everytime i missplay my rally at this boss)
like spellreflect is too
I meant reflect sorry
remember SR stays now after a reflect
My brain not fueled with enough coffee now
ok, adds on tree in algethar, how do you grab them all in the second wave, the one that just insta aggroes dps?
aoe taunt
Does spell block work on 1st boss spawn dmg
shockwave for 2nd round
have you checked senses spreadsheet?
I do ravager/roar for first round, aoe taunt for second

Whats the difference with tinker: arclight vital correctors ranks? Doesn't specify
but dot only when the boss hit you with the tank buster hit you. or?
even when SR is up it does I think, even from range
hmm, they just insta aggroed on spawn and kill healer, will need to time ravager/shockwave/roar better I guess
then healer needs to gtfo the spawn spots
and you need to ralyl the explosion
to buy him time
Merry Christmas
merry xmas warriors
Yea if the healer is standing in the spawn as soon as they activate they will wreck them
Less a you problem more a them problem
do we go to one of the guides more than the other?
Just read all of them, and make a proper decision yourself
Usually we go for
most
I believe icy veins is written by mwahi
any recomandation for dungeon trinkets for m+ ?
havent look at it
You can check the wowhead guide, but otherwise whetstone, both nokhud trinkets, maybe ruby whelp
Big toe, maybe the hyrja trinket
thanks ๐
Whetstone and rumbling ruby.
Blazing shell isn't bad either.
Spell block saved my bacon many times, though I only run it for a couple dungeons. AA, RLP, Jade temple.
guys, i wanna place an order for a lariat but the receipt shows only one socket
what should i ensure to get all 3?
You add them with items you can buy on the auction house
You only need to buy rank 2 and 3
ok thanks!
Tiered medallion setting is what you're after
Doesn't have the unique embellished line in the item description
For what parts in these dungeons is spell block used ? Atm I am so over geared for the keys we go that I don't know what hurts
Wanna be prepared ๐
Helps when reflect is on cooldown, mostly for big tank buster abilities like 3rd boss of jade temple.
That panda trucks hard, and with spell block you can ignore one of the massive hits plus the heal.absorb it puts on you.
does anyone macro defensive stance with shield wall?
So many people think you can only do 3 sockets on lariat lol ๐
You can do 3 sockets on any neck
Hello, kinda wanted to ask you guys about what my sec crafted item should be as i just got the neck, i got both 415 wep and shield from mythic eranog/council and it says on wowhead that i want to craft either of those 2 pieces, but then we have the helmet which is also kinda decent
What should i craft which would give me the biggest gain
I would go for the embelish wrists or most ilvl gain
Crafted items are best early, when they give high ilvl increase, so seeing you have probably full mythic gear, there's almost no point in crafting now ๐คท
This or the belt, depending on if he does other stuff than tank
eh ive only killed 2 mythic bosses lmao, and i have not gotten any tier pieces as im a tonk
but the helmet is like 398 and my wrist are 402 which has vers haste on it
so it should be helmet?
Vers haste doesnt rly matter
Belt is also good like he said
Ilvl is more important
Depends how likely you feel you will loot a tier helm early ๐ค
Depends if you raid only imo
im doing alot of m+, but i should be getting tier pieces next week
@trim minnow which embellishment?
Some item that gives vers stacks
if I am mainly focusing on M+ what 2 would i take?
Coming back to warrior after foolishly swapping to DH before the nerfs
For M+ its better to go the tanky route as this season is all about survival to time Keys and not dmg
Imo
Did you read the pins?
I would go wrist + neck - its both just vers procs
Crafting for early gain is big on 1h/shield though
Yh agreed
I did
If i were to start fresh on warr, i would craft shield, then wep, any day of the week
Never lariat untill like week 5
Wep-> neck + wrist is my current route after reroll aswell
My weapon and sheil are 385 from pvp and elemental
my wrists/belt are the only blues i have left
so thinking wrists
i agree
Did you do m0s? If u get a titan thing u Can quickly get 380+ and start farming 16s
And its used i guess ? :p
Probably not possible for the avg guy to do 16s at 380 ilvl ๐
ya i made a ring since its the highest value imo
I'm doing +16s at 392 ilvl now
Personally Got full gear with m0s, pve+pvp Weekly and couple of rares
thats what i did ๐
I mean pugging is dogshit ngl
Very hard to get invites, and if people join a key you host and they look ilvl and r.io they might leave
These Dungeons are not build for pugging
ya, i have a 1900 main thankfully but its still hard
Understandable
for 17s id take 2k+ only man
i agree
Watch the ring stats btw - its 382 but has more stam than 398 rings for some reason. So check it out before u replace with higher ilvl
Well when i pushed the key, and host the key ๐ค
But ye people wanna be hard carried in 17 ๐
It's fking week 2 lol
so if i wsant trying to pump ilvl, weapn and sheild would be big? then neck nest spark
Rio doesnโt mean shit at the 2k range
We didnt say youre not capable, you absolutely are. But some ppl dont wanna risk a timewaste/shitshow
take like nokhud 17 that key is hard for >95% of the playbase
I Think neck + wrist is the Best m+ choices for embellish
Shield is big cus it's the only place you can get block
But you cant go wrong with wep + shield
Had a +17 hall fail cus the 2000+ 400 ilvl heal couldn't heal through the hyrja storm thing
It is rly hard tho. Also some healers still need to learn to keep 10 stacks while healing aswell
no it isnโt
2k is a couple 16 and rest can be 10s
I guess the normal is tryharding, and casuals don't exist in this game ๐
Would expect 2k is way above the avg currently
But got no data to show for it
2k is a joke atm
Itโs just all +14s or so
2300 and above is where itโs at atm
Hey guys quick question how much haste should we target before we start shifting to vers?
Yea thats another 80 for like a 14
There's not really a goal
Never Stop ๐
Hi all, fang adornments or bronze gripped for weap is better?
None of those
Awesome! Iโm seeing like 41% haste with into the fray, was worried I was hitting a cap or something
I think fang has better ppm for melee
Are you playing ITF for raid?
Yh put fang on and Then remove it later when u go for the other embellish
This
Yeah - is that bad?
what gems are you putting into lariat?
No, it's ok for raid, bad for m+ unless playing specific build
Noted thanks both!
main stat + 2 pure haste or haste/versa?
Latter
Oh ok! Are these builds pinned or written up anywhere?
Main + haste/vers
I think the split ones have higher stat budget
Pins ye
Usually you ITF + bolster, to make up for the SB uptime you lose from HR
Ty vm
And in m+ tough as nails is more dmg than ITF
Awesome, good to know
At least for now
read the pins for more info
Love how helpful you guys are here. Thanks
In TJS i use spellblock instead of TAN^^
can do that but there arent a lot of targeted spells that follow the aggro meter
I use spell block + double wall in temple ๐
Just for safety
This Last Pack is all my nightmares in one
that pack is so much fun on tyrannical
is fine but i dont rly care about that pack if you have wall an all cds up + group does their cc
you have to kite in higher keys that group is hard
Which ones cast dark claw?
on fortified i shid my pant
Kiting is fine, until He spawns additional adds
you can aoe taunt nomatter
i also use leap or pull the big sha away when he spawn his little bastards so i can charge to gain distance if i have to move
yeah dark claw hits like a truck
So i just use spellblock
your group has to help you tbh
Tell those pugs
Spell block + double wall and that pack is zzz
"dogtank"
like in some other cases aswell but hey its a pug
Currently hitting a wall with pugs tho
What is โdouble wallโ?
Shield Wall x2
Dunno whats the talents Name, but under normal circumstances its a waste
is is RPL 1st boss circle thing proximity based or not ?
i dont see any mention about prox, but every healer keeps saying it is
Aegis defender that and spell block are good for rlp as well
i just need to know if the ability of boss is proximity based or not 
I think you might get a tick if close
Chill storm? It does more damage inside
But the bomb effect is same I think
If you're outside of the circual you'll only get the low end damage
You'll get chomped standing in it though
Hey, Is it possible to get all adds on the platform with distrupting shout ? (dathea)
Doesnt reach that far i believe and i dont think loosemin SD is worth tbh
You can hit all but one
oh i did all but two
not in pugs ๐
there is great debate here about which non haste stat to stack
all 3 have good arguments
crit gang
cant take damage if you parry every attack
crit = offense, vers = defense mastery = balance of offense/defense
thats sort of how i view it
if you have all totem, you go crit however, to give your self more chance to parry through the passive that turns crit into parry, which makes trinket proc more often in m+
Hey lads, what missives etc do we put on the Primal Molten Defender?
Prob haste vers
and armor spikes?
Check pins, whatever you want my guy
I couldnt see anything in pins ๐ฆ
haste / your choice
Hey all, so I obtained the bone trinket from shadowmoon burial grounds. Is it any good for us? Cheers
do i keep it in bags to cheese a higher ilvl
Ye
im with a 376 equiped and enchanted from lfr
i was super excited first minute or so it dropped
jebaited drops, 1 h mace
can i use spell block against the dark claw tank hit in temple from these little sha's
any tips on how to tank academy tree boss?
Yes
everyone stack, everyone move same agreed direction small increments till that finishes, aoe them down fast
if they go everywhere all over the map spawning in GG you played your self
then, you get first interupt on the branch, and you get many of those as you can while its alive, dps alternates interrupts
It should be dead before 3rd cast
should and are is 2 seperate universes
I know
But if it ain't dead, then you'll start running into issues
Because the boss will start spawning more shits
don't panic, stick to the plan
my expectation is 3 to the very least in tyraniccal
Depends on key lvl
But you can grab first 2 if specced into stun
And possibly 3rd
More if tauren
what do you mean by this?
The stunning hammer
You kick first, stun second
Should have kick back
So kick 3rd
i bet u there is some turbo cheese on that tree boss like, you just take it to the wall and everyone stacks at corners, so all the mobs are at 5 pixels on the map, adds die in 10 seconds, boss dies in 45 seconds later
clap revenge and ravage, but yes lol
ive been doing fine alternating ravager, shout, and roar.
Shockwave and dragon roar too
still the most aids boss in m+ this expac and i hope it just gets removed lul
I mean if your healer or ranged dps doesn't run off with the stragglers...
id rather do a 15 rlp over a 11 academy at this point
Iโm at 385 iLVL what should my ideal dps be? I see Prot warriors already with 20k+ dps and im stuck at like 14k
Just tell the MM to not shoot from Africa
the fuck are you asking if im mad? is this early 2010 cod or something?
BDK with GFG and abomination limb "that fight is easy bro!"
Spam clap more
And slam
110k slams.... Hmmmm
Lolโฆ
well, shit, i hope that fights easy for you
British for crazy
With 385 you can be well around 35k
So uh
Then idk wtf
There's alot to unpack it seems
14k st?
Then closer to 30k
Slam more
Yeah itโs awful. Idk wtf im doing wrong. Always hitting shield slam when it pops up. And revenge intro thunderclap lol
u have to hit more buttons in general and more buttons and the right time, and more short cd buttons like SS on CD
Avatar on cd?
buffs like avatar or demo at the right time
avatar on cd in combat when u can attack
Y Though?
best if u can us with demo and other cds (shield charge, roar shockwave, etc)
try not to use it on packs u know can disorient/stun you
nothing like popping avatar and then 8 seconds of silenced
should unironically be in battle stance about 99% of the time
few tank busters you'll wanna be in dstance for but thats it
Yes
yeah we serious
B-stance for almost all the time, d-stance for when you actually take heavy dmg/tank busters
i'll figure out which bosses are continous pains in the ass regardless of affixes and then just throw on dstance for that boss fight, and then bstance again
That explains the low ass dpsโฆWHACK!!!
thats how i will handle dstance
Not me lol
So there's more to unpack
I'm up to 14s, started going dstance for bosses
Got any logs?
Lots of people say "I press stuff on CD"
Press more buttons
But then don't
Don't hold stuff
It was #4 world at the time dunno if it still is
i think i did a +2 RLP and did 24k dps
i know i saw 24k dps and that was first time i turned on meters in long time
no idea if it was overall or boss
@strong forum sent
You doing mobs one at a time?
ancestral protectors stone kinda mid right
only got wq trinkets in high ilvl rn
compared to battle scarred scale /blazing essence
Nah they're trying to be toxic
To bis ring or not to bis ring..
even without belt or belt required?
Belt required
Hey guys, best trinkets for m+? ๐
I'm struggling to keep aggro as prot. I feel like my AOE's isn't big enough
im doing academy, and sometimes i'm not keeping the aggro on the seedlings
Rotate through your major pops. You should have avatar or at least Shield Charge. Can also rely on Ravager to pull those seeds cause they are so spread out
On the boss? Just rotate your AOE taunt and dragon roar and ravager
I just mean you can probably pull bigger in a +2, is all
And u should be good
No pun intended
Save challenging shout for the first time the seeds pop up
this is the RLP 2, 2 chest
Wait the belt?
one of them is a 353 monk dps so
This epic plate armor of item level 350 goes in the "Waist" slot. It is crafted. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date.
You timed it so whatever dps you did is irrelevant at that point, was just pocking fun at you
Only way for us to do fire dmg besides trinkets
Ooooh, cauz I have the ring
So imma need to make belt....
And I have shield already...
And wanted Lariat <_<
U get new spark on reset, ur fine
Frostfire Belt?
But have the special shield, you can't stack embellishments
You're allowed 2
Pretty sure the belt counts as one
And so does the Lariat
Can't u recraft to remove embellishments? Or was that a fever dream
That's where you went wrong ๐ฌ should have made the Primal Molten
Ahh
But then you just wait 3 weeks and ur good
I mean, it's really nbd
maybe Iโm missing on the lingo, is there a best second crafted item with Lariat?
anyone got parses with frostfire belt and ring ?
nooo ur 3 weeks behind a 1% difference
so i can put a number on it ?
i honestly don't give a shit about 1% ๐
On ST?
Ye
I assume it gets much with better AOE no?
Im gonna sim it later tonight when i get home
Both aoe and st
I wanna get a 392 shield crafted to replace my 359 for low keys. Is shield of the hearth worth it? Can't customize the secondaries on it but has a seemingly cool proc. https://www.wowhead.com/item=192081/shield-of-the-hearth
This epic shield of item level 350 goes in the "Off Hand" slot. It is crafted. In the Shields category. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.
Depends if you want other embellishments later on
For something like raid it can only proc while you're actively tanking
primal molten.
primal molten is better
Oh yeah not planning to raid. Got some brez wrists crafted already
the proc will not really help you where it matters in m+
Did a portion of Tyrannical get added to your mythic rating provided you have cleared the same key level on Fortified?
the full tyranicall points get added to your in game score
they completely separated the two
Oh I thought they didnt overlap
So primal molten better just because I can have haste on it?
yes
the vers proc is not consistent enough
if it procced a lot, it would be better
Says 2.2 ppm, thought that was pretty good
I love how people say vers shield proc is bad, but lariat secondary proc is good ๐ค
Doesn't really add up ๐
I am not saying it is bad
Yeah
mainly on the ads. like i just feel like my threat isnt high overall
I am saying it is worse than the perma haste
maybe it was just the boss
i didnt have issues holding aggro on the ads throughout the dungeon
The boss adds? Just use AOE CDs, avatar is really powerful with TC
the seeds may have been too spread out
I would rather use avatar with ravager
TC will always pull aggro
with single taunt for the super pumped on add
in case you run arcane or something
Okay so speaking of which, lariat is worth it for prot? Sim says approx 600 dps difference but I understand there's also defensive value
it is BiS neck
Shield gives block, so even without the proc it's very good
Just craft the primal molten shield imo
Lariat is overhyped
He said he had 380 shield or something
359 lol from heroics
But i guess the idea with lariat neck, is to have haste proc, not vers proc
Yeah
hello there, do you think item level > 2 set ? i have a head 415, i dont know if is better thank my 398 2p
Getting another spark next week so I can have both new shield and neck
Did you sim it?
Or new wep and new shield
no, but the sim will only compare output damage right ?
Forgot what the tier set does other than +dmg ๐ค
Was thinking about weap too but seems like defensive value is better for me right now. Avg ilvl is 367ish and doing up to +9 keys right now. HoV was a breeze but Academy last night was crushing
4% reduc damage
hi guys is this a meme or should I use it if it sims the most out of my trinkets?
Lariat doesn't rly add defensive value tho
Academy is a lot about dps not dying hehe
It's rly good
No clue then honestly, i would probably just use whatever sims the most dmg, don't think it will make you die anyway
ok i will sim then ty for answer !
I figure haste = rage = more IP. not that I'm starved for rage much though
If you want defensive value, get something like shield + wrist
not a meme, busted ass trinket
Got a brez wrist already. Or did you mean something else / some other tinker?
its pretty good for M+, you can macro it to shout and forget about it too
Ah meant the vers wrist
But in the end, it's pretty much the same anyway
but double on-use would suck ๐ฆ
thought that decoration of flame is bis
what other on use you have?
well then id say just keep it in your bags since you already have bigger trinkets
if I ever decide to off-spec fury I'll keep it
can't tell you which one is better
does shield have a huge difference in damage mitigation?
whetstone is rly good for prot, just you have had some luck and gotten other trinkets as well
Double on use sounds fun as fk lol
so people actually run whetstone in the raid?
its not a "stuck with this" trinket by any means
i have it 389 and try to get 398 also
raid i have no clue
M+ is rly good cause of aoe dmg it provides
I think whetstone is biggest on ST, or i might remember wrong
But the raid trinkets u have are also quite big
and as ive told you, i have it macroed to shout so it doesn't even feel like an on use
you can't use 2 trinkets within 20 seconds of each other that's why it's feelsbadman
Rotate them
one set of cds one trinket other set of cds other trinket
You have a lot of CDs as prot anyway
I'll try in this cos 17 I guess
Brutal vitality or Fueled by Violence? I'm pretty new to prot
This
But honestly do what u feel is most fun, try out a different trinket in each dungeon
U have a real first world problem with 3x BIS trinkets ๐
the damage looks good but it's also -400 str
Doesn't matter rly, but we lean towards what is being picked in the talents in pins
does having a higher ilvl shield give a huge difference when tanking?
Yes
It's our biggest defensive item
i know the general answer is "just sim it" but is there a ballpark ilvl value for the extra effect on the strike twice weapon? I disenchanted on that was a few ilvls under my main hand and then thought it might have extra value from the extra effect
or is it just a bonus
oh ok thanks my 343 shield cant tank a 15 lmfao
It's just extra bonus, don't pick it over ilvl
Pick highest ilvl wep
If you have 2 same ilvl, pick strike twice
You can upgrade it with valor tho ๐คท
well i have the 402 weapon from some early heroic boss and it wass like 392 or something
as an m+ main ill just get a higher ilvl drop
instead of getting 4 piece from vault this week, ill just get that. easy ๐
its 6-7% of your dmg over a dungeon (the trinket)
its absolutely cracked
just gotta replace the shitty ruby whelp trinket and im good to go lol
He has totem + flame in 408 tho ๐
So he is pretty cracked all together
zzz
i get so tilted everytime i see someone else with totem

blazing essence and turtle shell
So many fun trinkets
i could be 400 ilvl rn if my trinkets werent ass
And all from raid ๐
i don't even know what trinkets are good for prot from dungeons
beside whelp and whetstone
Whelp not so much
Both nokhud trinkets, blazebinder, whetstone, big toe, halls trinkets
i have done around 15 SBG this week and haven't seen a single big toe
and we only have 5 items from this dung
arms spec loot ofc
nokud hooves sims high
how do you guys tank 2nd boss of jade serpent dungeon
spellblock i guess ?
is it just that
rotate for every serpent
def stance
also, does it matter if I am in range of the non-target dude
yes
I have been sitting in between to the front
at a sort of angle
where they should still both be in front of me
tho I guess that since they don't melee
I can just stand anywhere in range where I don't cleave
Jade serpent temple guide#
How can I see the safezones on hymdall?
dragons spawn before they breath
so I have to look up to the right/left and find the drakes?
yup
Iirc they start on the left side facing hymdal but i could just have been lucky many times in a row
And alternate after that
I see, thanks guys
They always come after the horn blast
yeah that I figured, but thanks tho
Merry Christmas cuties!
in algethar academy do you move the boss out of the add aoe heal?
eh, ye
pretty sure you don't have to
after killing the small tree
Huh
yes the big tree add that heals leaves a circle you have to get in
to clear your bleeds and heal you
I mean I just always cleansed myself because monk

Smooth brain tank player here

Soloed Melandrus 14s because people are blind on piercing gale
oh didn't notice that, good call and now i'm not sure lol
0 dmg taken from piercing gale
i've never made an attempt to move him out but maybe i'll have to pay attention to that now and see if it does anything
alot of people play with lower particle density, anything below High makes that boss an absolute nightmare
especially combined with tree leaf miniboss.
my buddy plays on an ancient pc and has his shit set to low, works fine for raid, all dragonflight dungeons. First COS we did he kept dying to what he claime was nothing until I asked him about his particle density setting.
Well given it is a Legion dungeon
Hey guys, what embellishment should I craft next (got lariat)? 1h weap with fang adornments or the armor spickes one?
legit on low, its invisible.
People should be mindful
BUT that is a good counterarguement
People with potato pcs are screwed
it being a legion dungeon isn't an excuse for blizzard to be lazy
its just a bad dungeon all around imo
I mean the dungeon is fine
And quite enjoyable too with these minigames you have to put
rng profession buffs are not "fine" lul
I mean you basically always want an alchemist to kill first boss at 25%
Not necessairily. A rogue would do just fine
a 10% flat crit or haste buff that "might" show up or not is bad design
Ah yeah or rogue, mb.
Also, it isnt about prof. It is about the composition as well
or that rogue/alch get a 25% touch of death for first boss.
I mean it is quite unique. Dont you think?
i never said it wasn't unique.
Tbh unique =/= good
Unique= Not boring= good
So says the shadow of Xavius
lmao
Haha
christ dont remind me of that shit boss
Legit one of the most unbearable mechanics.
At 10s people one shot you.
try pushing 20s first season of legion
You just couldnt.
This is why it was 10s the highest gear.
playing the game of "pls dont target our warrior twice"
oh you could
it was just miserable
confirmed with a log that it does heal boss lol
entire key bricked if he targets the same person enough times in a row
its a pretty substantial heal iirc
So, we can all agree CoS>>>> DHT?
nope, id still rather do dht.
(this is probably a personal bias as I've ran COS upwards of 40 times this week)
the start of underrot, you got a mob that dashes random player, then does a cleave that does a huge dot on anyone caught on it, a cone puke, and the death exploding ticks that stick a dot on you
immeidatelly all around you as the key starts
Underrot was just a walk for tanks.
i got used to seeing groups end before we even got to bridges
Anyone have the interrupt tracker with spell reflect?
Too bad if you played heal on Underrot though. Kewk
underrot was alot of fun but it was also alot of bullshit
/cast Spell Reflection
/yell Spell reflect is active! Dont interrupt
on a 13 fort it was 450k out of 11 mil health so pretty big but not like insane, and obv would only get worse as you go up and on tyran
I dont understand why my macro doesnt work.
What gems do we put i lariat and is it r2/3 or 1/2 of the socket mat we use on it?
you had a flower cast a stun, that you can interupt and if you don't its like what, a 10 second stun some shit, or its also a disease you can dispell
thats a good gameplay design
also heals the adds to full is a bigger problem i think
I mean, I remember on DHT, you had to pick the neck shield legendary buff in order to sustain the bolt.
And lots, lots of versa
Btw. A cool feature in m+ for tailoring is that, the mobs would drop you satchels of cloths. So running dungeons is somewhat profitable other than money sink.
I donโt think CoS is a bad dungeon at all, itโs a pretty unique dungeon where the โworstโ part is just knowing that you need to kick certain things and LoS some others
did CoS for my first time ever just now
Finally, somewhat with a good review about CoS.
was fine
The only time it was bad was in legion when it had a tight timer and you wasted a good portion of it on the boat ride and it was overtuned
๐คท its badly designed similar to SMBG and it really shows compared to DF dungeons
but obv its just an opinion ๐
I donโt think itโs badly designed at all
Youโre free to approach the dungeon after the first boss anyway you like
It has unique mechanics based on professions
hey if you feel randomly spawning minibosses and rng profession buffs in a timed dungeon are good design, thats ok
Itโs not random?
the location is random.
6% iirc
Thanks
I cant see the dreadlord on MDT
Pretty sure the mini bosses are not random
the fel enforcers have a set spawn location?
They did in legion
def dont now
Give or take
bruh
set spawn location is not "give or take"
can you predict their spawn locations or not? cause after the last week of spamming cos to get whetstone, it seems entirely random.
Although calling the enforcers mini bosses is weird considering the ones that come after killing them are the mini bosses
There are 4 places they can spawn and you need to kill 3 IIRC
yeah fine i missspoke
Or you get lucky with item spawns and kill 0 or 1 ๐
yes...the location is random between 4 spawn points.
They patrol quite a lot as well, so it's not always clear which one the first one is
4 spawn points, 3 mobs
So
Pretty set in stone where at least 2 of them will be lol

Random, but not very random
you dont get it
and thats fine
some runs youll run back and forth across the bridge because they ping pong spawns
It doesnโt exactly change your routing much
You still have packs you absolutely just donโt pull
enforcer spawn is random and can spawn at the same place you killed it
some runs you'll get 3x prof spawns that pull the minibosses and you skip every enforcer
so kite the mini bosses a bit
you kite them to LOS spots anyways
fort + raging watching DPS eat the AOE is hilarious
to be safe from enforcer spawn RNG
Yeah, their LOS burst stings on Fort
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my warrior brothers.
MERRY RAGEMAS
do we still think haste crit is the way to go?
Hey Merry Christmas everybody, my question is... is there an item which i can craft through order that has lategame value ?
All of them have value
Was thinking about the Neck but it seems the one from court of stars is better?
Is it?
just looked at the bis list from Wowhead im not sure thats why im asking here
The 3 sockets thing applies to any neck I thought but either way that proc is very good
It does
But more importantly 3 sockets + stat proc based on sockets
Yup
The wowhead lists are basically just โitems that drop with haste on them,โ I wouldnโt worry too much about them
ok ill craft that neck , another question is there another good item to craft ?
But tldr on crafted item is that you can craft a lot of different things, the end result wonโt be much different
Between .5-1%
Craft whichever other item with an embellishment to fill a low ilvl slot tbh, the ones after lariat are pretty similar in power
Shield is always a good choice especially if you can't get like the one from azure vault to drop. Weapon is popular too
ok was just wonder if there is another weapon/armor piece with a good/usefull prog
The embellishments (procs/bonus effects) are all fairly minor after neck
If im not getting a 405 wep on vault im crafting one. Any ideas on embellishment on wep?
is jade serpent strike reflectable?
In p1 yes
Or wait jade is specifically the p2 one isn't it
ya
Then no unfort
how do you guys handle the bleed from 2nd boss of ruby life pools
evoker, dwarf, rotate CDs
I can handle 2 of them at 4 stacks with shield wall and dwarf
she does 0 tank dam outside of searing blows
how well are druids/priests taking it
I donโt think your choice of healer will matter as much as you think it will there
Tbh
I guess pain suppress should be able to handle a 4stack
think so? Priests are not the best tank healers
Yes I think so
do mind I am talking 17-18
