You also gain feeling of inferiority when you drop superiority, superiority at 35+ stacks hurts critcake

edgy grail
#

Yes

ashen harness
#

ye that ones sick

#

must be super satisfying to heal tho

#

to see those wild numbers

edgy grail
#

Yep its a fun one

warm plinth
#

Yes it's good. You can use it shortly before CDs to maximize use of the str buff

edgy grail
#

Reminds of temple of seth

idle aurora
#

yeah this is not even remotely close to numbers healer should be doing

edgy grail
#

The 3rd boss

edgy grail
#

They should be doing more? 🤔

idle aurora
#

nono

#

i meant that no fight should force healer to do 90k hps at this point of expansion

edgy grail
#

Ohhh less if we play it right you mean?

lyric elm
edgy grail
#

It was a lot less group healing when we sent it into immune

ashen harness
#

how u guys deal with the 3rd boss kick tho, my heart sinks every time, i never survive with enough to fuck up the following aoe mechanic, in jade temple

edgy grail
#

But it gets spicy asf for me

lyric elm
edgy grail
#

Rotate CDs, wall, LS SR, Wall

cinder storm
#

Healers power is usually at its lowest at the start of every expansion, blizz didn't want regular people to farm 15s straight out of the expa and gave us the worst healing affixes on top of it

edgy grail
#

Using impending victory for every 2nd one

ashen harness
#

that kick is absolute monkaS, tanks have 0 room to fuck that up, and its tight

limpid anchor
edgy grail
#

Your healer needs to remove the abosrb from you

cinder storm
limpid anchor
#

It’s a group dungeon

idle aurora
#

I will not upset y'all with saying how I deal with that kick 😐

edgy grail
#

As a warrior you cant do much

sand mason
#

any consensus on BiS M+ Profs?

Third boss fight only lasts til boss hits 30% tanking wise

I dont know if Alch has 2x lasting phials anymore? I guess thats the only other benefit lol

ashen harness
#

@sand mason man go fishing, bis profession. Flex a fishing hat in +20 keys

sand mason
#

damn you right

idle aurora
#

Yeah but that's not a direct combat benefit, you can have same effect without alchemy

#

What you can get tho is toxic pots/phials with less negative effects

ashen harness
#

nothing like taking a 2 minute fishing break mid dungeon, cook the fish, and eat it for the food buff

How do you deal with the damage taken on tree boss in Academy when adds burst forth? Dot fucked me up through cd and rest of the damage just finished the job. (Was a 2nd/3rd set of adds)

slim dove
#

also dwarf/bitter to reset stacks

cinder storm
#

Treat it as necrotic pre nerf, after 40 stacks you are unhealable and 55+ stacks will kill you. I use ravager/challenging to snap aggro, rotate stuns and leap out regardless

cinder storm

I don't mean your dps as a tank, I meant the three dps

sweet summit

edgy grail
#

You swap whenever your team needs you too

#

It depends on the strat

#

6 is fine for normal keys

#

You dont always have to do one or the other the whole FIGHT

livid osprey
cinder storm
mellow quartz
#

saying 'x' should never happen at 'y' key level is also extremely missleading as you can be in a group of 400+ ilvl players or 385

#

most things come down to 'it depends'

#

Am I the only one that doesn’t go towards the harbor b4 the first boss in CoS?

cinder storm
#

No

#

I always go W

warm plinth

No, but it's easy count if you do

mellow quartz

it's just a nice and easy double pull 🤷‍♂️

whats the best available spell reflect weak aura?

Harbour is very easy trash all you need is 1 aoe stun

lyric elm
#

harbor is easy, you can pull all of that crap

wary ibex
#

aye thx

cinder storm
#

CoS difficulty is the same as dark souls, the enemies are easy, the camera is not

mellow harbor
#

True

#

That whole dungeon is the last boss

mellow quartz
#

best thing for COS is getting bigwigs spell announce or similar to announce every time an enemy does a frontal

#

dont have to watch your feel just have to listen and move

lyric elm
#

so all the time kek

mellow quartz
#

works like a charm

cinder storm
#

I personally find it annoying, that voice that some people use that says everything, is it dbm?

lyric elm
#

probably bigwigs

mellow quartz
#

it's what I just linked

#

but you can adjust it as you like

#

iirc

it's super helpful when you get used to it

On what key level 🤔

mellow harbor
#

20 completion

warm plinth
#

Idk check logs but it does hit like a truck

#

So I wouldn't be surprised

#

That and the third boss jade ability are fuckin stupid

Yeah that's about the right damage it chunks your hp

Does spell reflect scale with damage buffs? I'm wondering if I should save spell reflect until I get orbs for lightning boy in Nokhud or not

You can reflect windsurge, the orbs damage when you soak is pretty low, best to use SW there

Hey Team, i made a mistake week 1 and build Shield of the Hearth, i could upgrade it to 405 but i already have 2 embellishments (weapon + shield) so i can not get a 3rd one next week. I can also not remove the embellishment, should i just jolo upgrade it and dont take Lariat or helmet, or hope for an m+ shield and waste a spark

My healer was bored out of his mind

When things die faster, there's less tanking time

And less healing needed overall

4% dmg vs 17% healing is nothing? really not trying to fight just hard time understanding it

why do i need 17% more healing when i already dont have my health bar moved outside of very specific bosses?

the cobalt rings have a significantly reduced stat budget

can someone explain a few numbers on ignore pain scaling for me?
"Fight through the pain, ignoring 50% of damage taken, up to [(0 + Attack power * 3.5) * (1 + Versatility)] total damage prevented."

what are the zero and the 1 in the ap and vers sections referring to? and is the vers referencing percentage?

sweet summit
#

and the +1 in vers is preventing it from being 0 if you have literally no vers

We dont know tbh

@strong forum believes it is, but we thought that before and it wasnt

Are quick ysemerald our bis gem?

cinder storm
#

You reflect the damage of the spell, your damage output doesn't adds to the damage of the spell you reflect

cinder storm
#

But check pins

paper dagger
#

That's what I wanted to know, was just curious in case I wanted to hold it or get as many as I could in

#

conductive hits like a truck

warm plinth
#

Spell reflect damage is considered damage done by the enemy to the enemy. So no point to hold for when you have orbs.

cinder storm
#

Aka, why are you hitting yourself

warm plinth
#

For example

cinder storm
#

I've been out of town a couple of days, miss depleting keys

turbid shuttle
# cinder storm It is when people are buying tokens, for blizz at least

I'm actually not sure how tokens work, but I thought players bought tokens from blizz for $ and then sold them on AH to other players for gold. If that's true, it's also a player-to-player transfer and so not a gold sink. Gold sinks are things like repairs, respect costs (when that was a thing), etc. The gold has to actually be destroyed (i.e. taken out of the economy)

edgy grail
#

Blizzard sets the token price

turbid shuttle
#

apparently not

edgy grail
#

That is set by blizzard

gloomy vortex
#

Any suggestion on what to get above 400 ilvl crafted for protection warrior? Currently 385

cedar rune
#

Naw, it’s set by market price

turbid shuttle
#

if they're calling it a market price, I don't believe that's true

#

it's set by the market of buyers and sellers

cedar rune
#

^^^

edgy grail
#

If you’ve ever traded a token you’d know you cant set any price

turbid shuttle
#

if you knew anything about economics you'd know that doesn't mean it's not a market price

cedar rune
#

It’s based on supply and demand

warm plinth
#

They set it but it's based on how many tokens are being purchased for real money vs how many are being purchased for gomd.

#

So the market directs the pricing

#

Gold

edgy grail
#

It’s not a free market is my point they determine how much each sale moved the needle

warm plinth
#

It is indeed a market price, in the same way toilet paper costs more when there's a shortage.

turbid shuttle
#

and all of this is tangential to the original point, which is that wow tokens are a player-to-player transfer of gold and so not a gold sink

cedar rune
#

That’s true, it’s still gold circulating

note to self, dont fight lashers near the patrolling whelps in AV

Because he gets 90 sec off his grieftorch

yes you need to pull back and the frontals just hits everyone and they die

do I have to be topped with demoralizing shout and spell reflect?

Also, have your healer move too so you can get topped after since grievous

for someone who never did HoV and speaking of Herya - how many stacks before you switch sides?

is that roughly the circle visual around the clones?

At this point I"m not doing keys high enough to care what the healer is

My healer is disc

warm plinth
#

And realistically unless you're doing bleeding edge shit, any healer can do anything fine

#

Like if you're doing sub-20s you're probably okay with anything

#

Anyone else go to work on professions and see this type of shit and immediately lose motivation

it's a gathering profession man

Is it ok-ish in Algeth'ar Academy for the Treeboss to stand inside the green circle (Abundance) from Ancient Branch? Or is it highly recommended to pull the boss out of the circle? Sometimes he's casting shit and doesnt move, making positioning him properly not easy

warm plinth
#

I don't think him being in the circle does anything for him anyway. The only purpose of Abundance is to clear the bleed stacks, which he doesn't get anyway

royal lance

The Tooltip in the Adventure Guide says:
"...healing allies and players within 8yds for 450k and removing splinterbark application".
So i guess it heals the boss?

It heals everything yes

Yeah I guess it does.

It's not detrimental to heal the boss a bit, the troublesome part is healing the adds

does block do anything above 100%?

urban portal
#

what do you mean

#

shield block gives you 100% block chance

#

now you need block values

#

and youll never reach the point where you can block 100% of the damage

next jay
#

just wondering like, we have a base block based off mastery etc, does that extra amount do anything with shield block up

#

like is it converted to value over 100%?

Is the shield a good crafted choice? I have the lariat and the good sword from AA. So shield would be 3rd best option right? Or just one of my lowest slot gear?

Shield and weapon are among your 2 best choices to spark craft

We'll get 1 more spark in 1/2 days anyway

So might aswell use it as an ilvl upgrade

i felt bad i ask for a crafter but i could make anything because i dont have primal crap

I still have a free spark right now. I’m going to use the lariat but I don’t want to craft sword just because I have a really good one. So my second crafted spot will probably be shield.

I'm really second-guessing here myself seeing me on Top as a Tank which would explain the padding by the others after 22 wipes. We killed it in 6 tries with a random group and they took 15s on average ( the pug ) to nuke Add, my guild took 40 seconds roughly sometimes

Oh wow.

there were a few wipes before 2nd platform which mean the players that go there are relatively lower than your "team"
