#

thundering can actually be very annoying on that boss

oak echo
#

Leap when balls converge on you

toxic pewter
#

gotta make sure to clear good

solar blade
#

thats a genius moce

toxic pewter
#

if your group dont clear thundering well its not a good time on umbrelskul

forest tulip
#

its genuinely just torture lmao

#

doesnt help that the dps is barely out dpsing me

proper orbit
#

so simming as tank youre just simming dps right? it doesnt sim damage mitigation?

oak echo
#

Right

toxic pewter
#

honestly dps should be able to clear the shards on their own so you can focus on just making sure youre not in a bad position

solar blade
#

more dmg>less to migitate

proper orbit
#

and i mean i feel like the answer is obvious and the sim is telling me, but 398 toe is beating a 379 whestone, the strength is huge right

#

for damage mitigation

solar blade
#

sure more strength always good

sick sentinel
#

i ate all the lighting circles on phase 2 last boss NO, won't do that again

fading tide
#

Double shield wall and spell block for TJS?

solar blade
#

spell block is enough for tyr tjs imo

sick sentinel
#

not really sure if i was just simply giving them no time to get mana but they had lots of mana low issue

oak echo
#

Double wall optional but does feel nice on 2nd and 3rd boss

#

Always spell block in there though

solar blade
#

second boss is lusted first anyway and that boss is a joke if you know how to handle it

pulsar parrot
#

18 tyr jade serpent debuff sucks bad 3rd boss

sick sentinel
#

for now at least, i just like spell block in general over all

solar blade
#

3rd boss is easily outplayed, just watch quazii wow cheese strat at stairs

golden thicket
#

what talent would u drop to skill bsv (i know u guys dont like it but were struggling with the 3rd boss in jade temple)

tawny kiln
#

stair strat is fixed

solar blade
#

already..damn

pulsar parrot
#

Stairs were never the problem

#

Lol. Not really at least

tawny kiln
pulsar parrot
#

Boss hitting for 280k and then 100k absorb on an 18 is the problem

#

Lol

solar blade
#

gotta wall it and have ip up to max always i guess

oak echo
#

You always did?

#

The stairs didn't change that fight for the tank unless you suck

solar blade
#

it made it easier for the heal to heal you on absorb hit

oak echo
#

I suppose yeah

foggy drift
#

Is there like info on what specific dungeons/ abilities to use spell block on?

proper orbit
#

yes theres a spreadsheet somewhere i think

oak echo
#

Theres a spreadsheet in pins

solar blade
#

i use it in totjs and hov atm, can use it in sbg for slashes on skeletons in forti but im still testing it

fading tide
#

Am I the only one that thought the arcane boss and bird boss are harder then tree?

solar blade
#

rlp is an obvious one

#

bird aint hard people dont know when to throw balls

#

tree got nerfed into oblivion and vexamus is just use def cd and good heal

proper orbit
#

also people who throw balls into wind after firestorm is cringe

solar blade
#

u can throw into wind but after 3-4 screeches to get the dmg increase on cooldowns, also lusting on first fire goal helps a lot

forest tulip
#

so how much damage should you, on average, being doing compared to equally geared dps? 50%? 60%?

true bridge
#

does any1 have a stance macro?

solar blade
#

its like 8secs of 75% more dmg to boss

solar blade
true bridge
#

ty

proper orbit
warm plinth
#

Make sure to have exclamation marks before each one

#

So you don't accidentally toggle it off

proper orbit
#

like before battle and defensive?

#

i also like avatar to activate my bstance in case i was in dstance for some mechanic and my avatar comes back up

warm plinth
oak echo
solar blade
#

take instigate on low count pull dungeons

strong forum
#

ye with good dps players you can only pull like 50-60% of their dmg

which is BS tbh

they need to buff tank dmg

Heya ๐Ÿ™‚ Sims are telling me to push much more mastery o: Sims prob. right, isnt it? thought I just push haste > vers >= crit >>> mastery

does spell block work on all spells while its up?

Spell block plays by weird and I'm pretty sure buggy rules

Generally speaking it's like every direct magic damage targeted at you. Not dots and I think not aoe

no sweetspot

no specific % to aim for

brave jungle
#

When you guys say sim. Do you mean raidbots DPS sim?

warm plinth
#

yes

sick sentinel
#

they mean a dps sim in general but yes

#

because, they are many sites to simulate dps

brave jungle
#

I see

strong forum
#

you cant sim defensively, there you just follow the simple prio of ilvl > haste > crit = vers > mastery

pallid quiver
#

but if you ain't dying at literally every step, just sim for DPS

proud dock
#

do we take haste or vers for high AA?

pallid quiver
#

All stats have defensive value

brave jungle
#

When do I want to be in battle stance over def stance? I've always stayed in def

strong forum
#

always haste Paedre

proud dock

like 18+

pallid quiver

but having haste around is very nice

RIP me

mystic radish

#

Treat Def Stance as a defensive CD

mystic radish
#

e.g 18+ HoV the knockback Beam

fallow nova
#

I know they're both pretty rough, but is a 372 Ancestral Protector's Stone worth slotting in over a 376 Lifeflame Ampoule?

sick sentinel
#

been putting all my valor into this as of late

fallow nova
#

Tiny bit less strength, but vers procs > lifeflame dmg?

strong forum
#

id use the stone ye

#

lifeflame on use is a joke

#

does literally nothing

#

so the proc trinket actually does more than 0

fallow nova
#

Kinda what I was figuring

brave jungle
#

But are there not a lot of harder hitting abilities and spells so you need to be suuuuper agile with stances in that case?

strong forum
#

stance dancing is the highest skill expression

#

b-stance when you dont take dmg

#

d-stance when you will take heavy damage

sick sentinel
#

if i got that protector stone at a respectable purple ilvl i'd use shit out of it for a bit

So I might want to macro some of my defensive abilities like LS and SW into def stance to start somewhere?

dont macro stances to other stuff

Quick question. Just did a 16 timed and I only got 15 valor. I only did 3-4 keys so far this week. I thought you get 135 per plus extra if someone got io

Do you get less valor if you are capped or something

There is a boss in NO that u can help out by intervening

no clue

the 3rd boss' hitbox is also omega fucked

but that we know they wont fix

after the worm burrowed once, his hitbox shrinks

3rd boss hitbox is weird. I noticed I can shield slam him and throw in the same spot

so you cant hit him with thunderclap and revenge unless you stand right on the edge of the platform

nome whats this thing about spiteful trinket stacking when it shouldnt using a macro?

Crazy how they reuse it for literally pro stuff now with MDI

nocturne gale

quick question im currently simming myself with 369 shell 402 decoration of flame and 415 ruby whelp shell simming is saying that the ideal combination is rws and decoration but from searching about ruby the consensus is that since we cant choose the procs rws arent great and that the trinekt itself isnt worth much is that correct?

might be that the strength is just better

ruby is probably winning on str alone at that point

how is the totem trinket for prot warrior from kurog?

I bet this has been asked a lot but I couldn't find the answer recently. What should ignore pain and shield block uptime be in M+? Generally

its a good trinket though

Shield Charge too but only if you use it at range, which you generally don't

Ignore Pain is solid all the way through, but it feels OP early because nothing can really break it

Dear all, is there any trinket tier list ?
Currently I am using "Whispering Incarnate Icon" (382) and Granyth's Enduring Scale (379) but in my chest was "All-Totem of the Master" (395) and I am not sure what to use ^^ I play mainly M+

frosty rivet
#

TOtem

#

Totem totem totem

slim dove
#

totem/grief/windscar/icon are dank titties.

warm plinth
#

Icon isn't anything special until you have other people in your group with it.

#

I feel this caveat really needs to be stated more often.

slim dove
#

i feel like you can just look at that and figure it out yourself?

frosty rivet
#

Granyths is okay if your undergeared a bit for passive defense but its juist not a consistent enough trinket.

grizzled zenith
#

so is hould go for scale and totem?

warm plinth
#

You should use icon and all-totem out of those 3

frosty rivet
#

for now ya, would try and repalce the scale

warm plinth

Nothing special doesn't mean it's bad :p

It's just a stat stick

I've noticed a lot of that boss is just baiting and tank positioning... If the group is going crazy, get splits etc. You're gonna struggle to get heals but if its clean? there's isnt that much damage going out.

Just like being able to throw an instant heal to party member is really really nice

lone eagle
#

Nose for Trouble value has gone down with better opening setup on pull this xpac + smaller pack sizes and larger prevalance of magic damage in the middle of a pull

toxic pewter
#

I mean I dunno nose for trouble still healing like 7-10% overall in a key

lone eagle
#

Still good but it was great before when it actively made you immune to the first round of melees on every pack in a big HoA pull

tender cove
# slim dove its a fairly easy fight if done properly.

for sure, everytime we've failed and I just take a a minute to put down world markers, explain how to stand and where to bait? it always dies that pull but for some reason, its impossible without holding their hands, at least not in pugs

Can you spell block the jade serpent strike on the 3rd boss in TJS?

Yes but only the initial hit

Not the DoT

tulip kelp

Is that for real? Do I need to bind backpedal then.. I've been strafing left and right to get away

round cliff
#

so then strafing wouldnt work?

warm plinth
#

well strafing does work

#

regardless

solid holly
#

isnt it 270 degrees around you?

warm plinth
#

I thought that too but maybe that's for mobs

#

I do know strafing works though

#

Ok yeah confirmed with a TC friend, it's 180 for players, 270 for mobs

tender cove
strong forum
#

Strafing works if you're quick about it

tender cove
#

but if you strafe in a zigzag, you pretty much cover it, no need to full backpedal

strong forum
#

And jump strafe

#

You can full speed away from mobs whilst blocking if you jump Strafe and turn towards the mob mid-air

tender cove
#

Personally, i just backpedal strafe in zigzag.

why does my sim say I need more mastery ? is it just cus I got low haste or ?

My sim doesn't tell me to get more mastery

#

So I'd assume yeah, get more mastery

Seems like you have abysmally low amounts of mastery if that's the outcome

warm plinth

If you have a bunch of other stats and little to no mastery, it makes perfect sense that it would want you to get mastery

But if thats the case, why isnt that a consistent permanent state?

strong forum
#

The less you have something, the more value it has

#

That applies to all stats

tender cove
#

So it boils down to dimishing returns?

strong forum
#

Not just that

#

You don't need to hit DR points for certain stats to provide more at point X than others

#

That's why we got Sims

#

To tell us exactly that

#

It's basic math

sand drum
#

how much mas you running Nom ?

strong forum
#

If you have 0 vers, and then jump to 5%, you have a total gain of 5%, cuz you go from 100 to 105%

sand drum

with 31% mas it tells me to go crit -> haste

tender cove
# strong forum It's basic math

If my life ever depending on math? I would die, not even joking.
I really cant wrap my head around it without applying the diminhsing returns thing. It just doesnt want to compute in my brain.

But the same jump from 105 to 110% isn't exactly 5%

depending what key I look at

and know most tanks have a super tanky build for higher keys

its not much different than a dmg build

i dunno if i can have a monk healer again

they go oom way too easily
