And 2nd boss for RLP if your dps bait poorly

warm plinth
#

someone stands on you/you stand on someone

#

You should lose it though

compact jackal
#

I'm going to pull the house, the beacon, the mana wyrms, both constructs, and you can't stop me

warm plinth
#

The only person that should have it is the healer

swift spire
#

Thanks. Does Intervene work, for instance on a brain dead melee? Just thinking outloud

compact jackal
warm plinth
#

Yeah, but that's not optimal because then you have to stay in close proximity to them

hybrid hull
#

On higher keys you have to plan your CDs carefully, you will have SR for each one which is 20%, I usually SR/DS the first shield of light, wall/SR the next, then SR/DS again, then Spell block, then SR/DS again then wall will be back up

warm plinth
#

And they shouldn't be getting hit anyway

fallen pulsar
#

double SW is nice for tyrannical hyrja

swift spire
fallen pulsar
#

but not necessary

compact jackal
#

Oh, can anyone confirm if the 2500 rating item works on non-mythic/elite sets?

fallen pulsar
#

the adding effects one?

compact jackal
#

ye

fallen pulsar
#

I thought that was the whole point, it adds it to non-mythic sets

warm plinth
#

You should have wall for every other shield approximately

compact jackal
#

good

#

I refuse to not wear the heroic tier

#

it's blue

#

I'm a draenei

#

it's destiny

loud patrol
#

im so close to pay for a factio change and go dark iron dwarf

fallen pulsar
#

personally like the normal mode colors the most

warm plinth
#

I'm thinking about going dwarf

charred ivy
#

hey, whats actually the trigger for azure vault last boss orbs? ive read many dif answer

fathom robin
#

Any reason to use rend? or due to the way prot talents are setup, its another remove from the bar ability?

hybrid hull
#

rend with thunderclap

charred ivy
#

i mean . healer can bait the balls or something ive heard?

compact jackal
warm plinth
#

They tend to chase the person with the most healing threat, which will either be you or the healer

lyric kettle
#

I've heard it goes to people with highest stacks of the movement debuff

charred ivy
#

but i read some say healer aggro. some say its based on range who they follow. some say stacks

compact jackal
#

so you have a high fucking chance to get balls chasing you

lyric kettle
#

the internet... lied???? 😮

amber siren
#

I don't think it's been confirmed to be healing aggro either

compact jackal
#

Here's how you do the dragon: a guide by me

charred ivy
#

hence my confusion haha xD

compact jackal
#

Pray the balls don't chase you all fight

#

pray to god

warm plinth
#

I mean, we tested the shit out of it when it was suspected and it is definitely healing aggro

compact jackal
#

pray to satan

#

pray to anything

amber siren
#

I'm not saying it's stacks either, but I wouldn't say 100% unless you can prove it

hybrid hull
#

You can use thundering to help with the debuff as well

#

you can't be slowed while you have thundering

lyric kettle
#

Ooh, that's good to know.

charred ivy
#

yeah this i know. also in our case can leap etc if they come

compact jackal
#

chases you after leap while it's on CD

warm plinth
#

To be clear, you still keep/generate stacks while thundering is active. It's just suppressed while the buff is on you.

charred ivy
#

priest can pull u and so on. but just wanted know how the core mechanic work

fallen pulsar
#

you can also intervene to allies

compact jackal
#

It's a terrible mechanic ngl

fallen pulsar
#

as an extra out

warm plinth
#

You can apparently cheese it but it's not really something you could do in a pug anyway so 🤷

hybrid hull
#

Is that not fixed yet?

#

Assuming you mean snapshotting it up to platform

warm plinth
#

No, talking about forcing the shards to interrupt the cast

#

If he gets 100 energy and you push him past 75/50/25%, he'll stop casting the orb spell and cast shards instead, but still spend the energy

lyric kettle
#

Also, about how much on average are you guys absorbing with Ignore Pain in a key? I did a 14 COS with 2.28m absorbed with Ignore Pain, 866k with Decoration of Flame (~3.15m overall) and was told by a random rogue to "hit Ignore Pain once jfc"

#

(I'm very hinged and not at all tilted about this)

hybrid hull
#

for a 20 azure vault my IP did 20m

warm plinth
charred ivy
#

do ppl actually snap it up tho in keys?

lyric kettle
hybrid hull
#

I tried to once and it just beat my ass from below lmao

lyric kettle
inland mesa
#

my vault betrayed me need hive mind input
418 shield from my 415 with spark, or titan signet for 250 dps and bis ring for the tier?

hybrid hull
#

I've seen vids of it being done in high keys though

charred ivy
#

yeah seen some videos also, never tried

warm plinth
#

I think the "common" strat is the tank stands up on the side of the cliff/hill so the orbs can't hit them

amber siren
lyric kettle
#

(Also, I don't have my 4 pc yet so I feel like that would be a huge increase on its own)

lusty narwhal
#

Should I open my vault as prot in hopes for a shield or tanking trinket, or should I open it as arms in hope for good dps trinkets and just craft a shield?

hybrid hull
#

I don't either, and I wasn't running brutal vit in that 20

warm plinth
#

Doesn't matter to me

hybrid hull
#

so that IP is purely from rage

warm plinth
#

Either option is valid

forest tulip
#

im gonna lose my mind trying to grind +11 to get 8 more primal focus so i can upgrade my pants

lyric kettle
#

thank you all for the help! I was not running logs, but will do so in the future and dig a bit deeper.

lusty narwhal
#

Is there anything worth opening vault as prot for other than shield?

amber siren
#

1h weapon?

lusty narwhal
#

I have crafted

hybrid hull
#

Do you use weak auras or anything that you can easily see your current IP shield amount? @lyric kettle

warm plinth
#

tank trinkets if you raid?

lusty narwhal
#

What tank trinkets?

lyric kettle
warm plinth
#

All-totem and decoration are both pretty solid trinkets

sleek maple
lusty narwhal
#

I raid heroic and just do double dps trinkets

warm plinth
#

All-totem does very good damage in keys

lusty narwhal
#

Can icon drop under mythic? Or just raid vault?

warm plinth
#

Raid vault

dense iris
#

I only do m+, I have a crafted shield & weapon but lacking in trinkets. Do I open vault as prot?

reef holly
#

do the doors next to CoS entrance always open once you kill first boss and head to the courtyard?

sleek maple
#

Opening as arms with 2 options is 1/6 for icon vs prot is like 1/7 or 8? But also for prot you are wasting slots if you have crafted so for me, opening as prot spec is inting my raid options

stable valve
#

411 grieftorch or 418 chest w/ leech for the catalyst

#

I feel like

lusty narwhal
#

My raid vault will be 402 I will have 2 421 and 1 428 options I feel like there's no way I take anything under raid this week

warm plinth
#

Grieftorch

stable valve
#

I go grieftorch 100% lmao

lusty narwhal
#

418*

warm plinth
#

Yeah not even a contest

stable valve
#

feels bad to lose leech tier

warm plinth
#

Eh we have a ton of leech anyway

stable valve
#

big upgrade from my 398 grieftorch

warm plinth
stable valve
hybrid hull
lusty narwhal
#

Would I go 402 griedtorch over a 421 big upgrade tho?

stable valve
#

that'd be 3 leech items + 2 leech enchants

dense iris
#

Is ruby whelp shell a good trinket? It’s a day cooldown and not to informed on what it really can do for me.

warm plinth
#

It is not good

dense iris
#

Thought so, thanks.

sleek maple
#

There's almost no reason to open as prot other than a 421 shield/weapon option if you're clearing 20s but you should have a weapon crafted by now which kinda removes the need for a vault weapon

hybrid hull
#

need that 421 strikw twice

#

strike*

sleek maple
#

Or the mythic trinket from first boss if your raid is giving it to dps

lusty narwhal
#

Yea I was going to craft a shield today to 418 today since mine is 398

hybrid hull
#

keep in mind shield is only 250 valor/upgrade

#

so fairly cheap to get 415

lusty narwhal
#

Haven't been getting any shield drops

hybrid hull
#

I feel you

#

I've been using a pvp shield at 398 until last night lol

warm plinth
#

gotta be 2400 to upgrade to 415 though, which might be a barrier

lusty narwhal
#

Gonna save my valor to re-level the cos ring I just got with a socket and whetstone if I ever get it

torpid fiber
lusty narwhal
#

Yea

warm plinth
#

what's wrong with all-totem?

hybrid hull
#

he has it

lyric kettle
#

They have it already

warm plinth
#

ah

full venture
#

All totem is great, nothing wrong

lusty narwhal
#

Would I ever take a 402 griedtorch from vault of my 421s are a big upgrade?

torpid fiber
#

Might as well get the chest for xmog, xmog is forever

sleek maple
warm plinth
#

have you tried just getting upgrades

sleek maple
#

Once I get torch, my vaults are either 421 catalyst/tier options or higher, or sockets

lusty narwhal
#

Grieftorch is so good I just feel like taking it over a 421 piece feels bad if torch is only 402

pulsar parrot
#

Thoughts on Trinket Combination?

415 Blazebinder's
389 Whetstone
389 Manic Grieftorch

Asking for M+

torpid fiber
#

Praying for an awesome trinket when I get home. Full vault via keys each week and the only trinket I’ve gotten is a ruby whelp shell lol

sleek maple
forest tulip
#

just me or are these affixes brutal?

urban portal
#

Torch is something you can roll for every week

lusty narwhal
#

I do run them often but not a ton of 20sbyet

#

Only did 4 20+last week

pulsar parrot
urban portal
lusty narwhal
#

Ohhh yea not yet

bold viper
#

does the weapon strike twice have a chance to give shield slam procs?

#

got a 418 strike twice in my vauult

#

Huge

viral elk
#

Are there numbers on Brutal Vitality vs Fueled by Violence? Curious if anyone's found one better than the other or if it's situational.

urban portal
#

Brutal vit is the play

#

Especially with 4p

#

Fueled is okay but it’s just trickle healing

tulip kelp
#

Would you guys go ring or bracers for spark?

viral elk
tulip kelp
#

And is bracer embellishment vs fang around the same dps? I was planning to craft frostfire belt but I got 421 belt in vault

torpid fiber
#

Can you use an alchemist stone trinket as a non alchemist? My 382/389 trinkets are murdering my ilvl

zinc spruce
#

what's the sim settings for m+

hollow token
#

I’m assuming because of recrafting it doesn’t make sense to hold onto Sparks?

warm plinth
craggy pilot
#

yoo wtf is Hyrja meming me for

#

fking hell

#

she Shield of Light me into a Sanctify

#

just to flex

warm plinth
#

how would that even be possible

craggy pilot
craggy pilot
#

she does Sanctify, then insta Shield of Light

quiet monolith
#

408 puzzle box or 395 whispering incarnate?

warm plinth
#

yes but like...why are you in a place where shield can knock you into it

craggy pilot
#

and she did pushback me into one of the Sanctify that was way over on the other side

forest tulip
#

if i was to have someone craft me an order, whats a normal tip?

steady steppe
craggy pilot
#

didnt see it honestly

lone eagle

do I race swap void elf for micro better dps and better mog

I almost always do 5-10k at least though regardless

craggy pilot
#

5-10k for items that can be gained through skill

#

rare recipes a bit more

#

i would say

fair oxide
craggy pilot
#

Shield of Light 390k dmg through SR + DStance 😄

warm plinth
#

Zandalari look stupid when they run

craggy pilot
#

amazing

lone eagle
#

Kind of want to do a set using the Juggernaut shoulders from Antorus

cinder nova
#

Is the HOV speed trinket actually good?

lone eagle
#

but combine it with Tusks of Mannoroth

bitter canopy
#

So i gotta tough question, just opened my vault and i got 2 BiS and they are both around 20ilvl upgrades. which do i go with, leaning towards trinket but i dont know. I do have the legs, its the Neck and trinket i cant decide between

warm plinth
craggy pilot
#

what do you guys do with the knockback on Hyrja, just insta charge like on Dathea?

lone eagle
#

Its decent, I just have bad trinks

warm plinth
#

It doesn't lose any stat for the effect

craggy pilot
#

or do you let it knock you to the opposite side?

lone eagle
#

Bringing pwar into mythic tonight

cinder nova
lone eagle
#

hopefully get Terros trinket

warm plinth
lone eagle
#

and Eranog

cinder nova
#

Two different resolutions, colors, shape design

craggy pilot
lone eagle
#

and Incarate Icon

craggy pilot
#

i just need to not let it knock me into Sanctify 😄

#

desync you mean the bug where she does wrong spell on wrong side?

warm plinth
#

yeah tbh still not sure how that happened. I've never even seen a sanctify close to the tank when she did the knock

wanton jewel
craggy pilot
#

if just my MDT will work

lime urchin
potent gale
#

I've managed to set shield block WA to notify me when its castable, but problem is it will notify me even if i have it active already, how do i setup so it reminds me to activate once its expired?

worn drift
#

what do you guys think about Granyth's Enduring Scale? Don't see people mention it for war but I got a 411 of it in my vault so idk

warm plinth
dark cosmos
potent gale
#

thanks okayge

craggy pilot
#

@warm plinth something like this 😄

wanton jewel
warm plinth
#

Do you have concentrated primal?

dark cosmos
craggy pilot
#

thank you ❤️

#

she did the knock while the Sanctify had passed by me, so they were behind me

wanton jewel
#

i'll have enough in a few keys

craggy pilot
#

and then i got knocked into one

dark cosmos
#

i hate that beam though

#

always SO scared to zap a dps

craggy pilot
#

i had it happen a couple times

#

is there a spot where you can just standstill for the Sanctify?

#

or do you sidestep it?

lime urchin
dark cosmos
#

theres a pattern

#

can link vid one sec

craggy pilot
#

cus i feel if i sidestep, and then walk back, i can get Sanctify behind me

craggy pilot
warm plinth
dark cosmos
#

well then there you go (?)

craggy pilot
tired solar
#

How good is 2 set for warriors? I have to choose between 411 strike twice and 398 tier chest

craggy pilot
#

and the knock is quite far

wanton jewel
#

rumbling ruby 402

craggy pilot
#

like when i get knocked, im standing middle of the room

warm plinth
#

I'd just take the boots

craggy pilot
#

not on the boss

dark cosmos
#

oh sure

#

i mean no i think is basically the answer

#

and again i personally just have never had that happen haha

#

like i dont really think theres a clear "lane" if you know what i mean

#

unless most of them are dissipated

craggy pilot
#

maybe im just too far from the boss after the Sanctify

#

so i guess i should be away for Sanctify, be in melee a bit

#

get knocked

#

then go to the other side

short plover
#

How good is hunger of the pack? Would it be worth to take that from vault? 421 ilvl

dark cosmos
#

as far as ive experienced, the timing of sanctify > beam BARELY pushes you back to the LAST sanctify ball released (distance wise), if you know what i mean

void bramble
#

Why doesnt the spell reflect WA work?

dark cosmos
#

so you only need to aim to not hit that 1 ball

warm plinth
worn drift
#

do people ever stance dance? or just sit defensive 24/7?

blazing condor
#

we stance dance

warm plinth
#

More like battle 24/7

dark cosmos
#

we sit in B stance like 90% of time

blazing condor
#

and sit in battle stance 24/7

warm plinth
#

and we go in defensive when needed

worn drift
#

oh lol dang

craggy pilot
#

at like 40 yrds range when she knocked me

dark cosmos
warm plinth
#

I don't ever move away. Just let her knock you from where you happen to be after the ultimate

dark cosmos
#

sorry i was like losing my mind haha

#

now i understand

craggy pilot
#

lesson learned the hard way 😄

craggy pilot
dark cosmos
#

ya if you get beamed from melee i think youre pretty much just safe

#

no

warm plinth
#

Not too far. I dodge it. And her hitbox is huge

dark cosmos
#

i just sidestep in melee knowing the pattern

#

im brave haha

#

(ive been punished)

#

overall dmg > timing key

short plover
analog sparrow
#

Do things like all totem of the master sim correctly on raidbots? Is it a top tier trink for mythic+?

And secondly, is the court of stars ring a stand out above all the others due to the +atk damage? Auto is about 7% of my damage

dark cosmos
short plover
#

I don’t have it yet, but most likely heroic ilvl when I do get it, I’m next prio in raid

urban portal
warm plinth
fallen pulsar
#

ring is good because stats are also good

urban portal
#

But it’s free

#

And stats are good

#

Ty all

warm plinth

#

So i gotta tough question, just opened my vault and i got 2 BiS and they are both around 20ilvl upgrades. which do i go with, leaning towards trinket but i dont know. I do have the legs, its the Neck and trinket i cant decide between

warm plinth
#

icon (if other people have it)
all-totem
manic grieftorch
whetstone
decoration

in no particular order

#

Cool ty

I created a Lariat with Haste and Crit because sometimes I swap over to Fury, Is it worth rerolling it with Haste and Vers instead?

how many waves does Sanctify send out?

hey guys im asking here incase someone knows but I jus did an sbg 16 and people somehow snapped this trash to this spot

#

not sure if anyone knows the tech or

#

One more thing @warm plinth ,is that list for m+? I barely raid tank at all

sick sentinel

So with 4set do you press IP or just spam revenge

warm plinth
#

Jesus christ those are some awful trinkets

bitter canopy
#

right?

#

just hit 70, barely scraping by lol

dark cosmos
#

ya i mean hopefully you replace those within like the next 15 minutes so it doesnt matter

grave flower
#

I guess out of those 2 drop lifeflame

dark cosmos
#

but

#

ya id get rid of lifeflame

warm plinth
#

get rid of ampoule first I guess. the effect is even more hot garbage than seed's

grave flower
#

But yeah. Easily can replace in m0

craggy pilot
#

do people run Intervene for Fenryr?

warm plinth
dark cosmos
#

i run intervene always just cause most classes are faster than me haha

grave flower
#

Gigachads. I never run it

craggy pilot
#

i just have leap + bounding

#

makes me zoom

bitter canopy
#

ok sounds good, thank you all for the help everyone

grave flower
#

You run it to make you faster. I don’t run it because I don’t want another button to push. We’re not the same.

dark cosmos
#

i run it always more just as second aoe taunt effectively really

#

like DH pulls aggro and i effectively have a 6 second taunt

cinder storm
#

you can macro it to charge tho and mouseover friendly

dark cosmos
#

pug life

craggy pilot
#

what tech would you give up for it though?

grave flower
#

I can do that yes

craggy pilot
#

bounding i guess?

grave flower
warm plinth
#

sidearm probably

dark cosmos
#

^

#

is sidearm worth dropping thunderous roar left talent?

#

i kinda doubt it but i could be wrong

#

re: that tree

jagged pier
#

u can only have 10 in t3

#

so that doesnt work

#

u have to drop shockwave

#

or UF

dark cosmos
tardy crane
#

is Savage peck on crawth in AA bugged? it's doing insane damage, cycled through every defensive and still wiped because i cant recover from the initial damage and dot

jagged pier
#

yer u dont drop 1 hand spec

#

thats fucking dumb

tardy crane
#

thats for the full dungeon

dark cosmos
#

ty

warm plinth
#

So you were probably taking the same damage before; you were just dodging/parrying/blocking the initial hit so it didn't feel as bad.

#

and parrying/dodging would prevent the bleed

tardy crane
#

it feels so rough, i'm 385 doing a +15, rest of the dungeon, 0 issue, that boss, wiped 3 times because of the hit

zinc spruce
#

how much different is the raid on LFR compared to normal

#

i mean normal compared to lfr

indigo knot
#

385 helm > 418 crafted helm
-or-
402 shield > 418 shield

zinc spruce
#

i think helm

lone eagle
#

shield prob better long term

#

short term helm is better

indigo knot
#

We don't play raid helm right?

#

Tier*

oblique quarry
#

How is all totem for m+? I imagine it’s better their than in raid

kind rapids
#

Does letting one guard be summoned during first boss of CoS speed up RP?

fathom robin
#

For crafted shield its Shield of the Hearth? And for sword its the Primal Molten Longsword? these are also the preferred crafted items correct? Lariant would be 3rd or even 4th?

#

Lariat*

warm plinth
kind rapids
#

Alright ty, I was just wondering if its true or bait XD

warm plinth
#

and the beacon is only if you can CC the add and not have dumb pugs break it XD

kind rapids
#

Doesnt it just have one cast?

#

A slow or smth

#

Saw Naowh just do the add with boss and interrupt it

lone eagle
#

Its usually pretty easy to just

#

Not do the first sentry tower

#

I usually cc that sentry and keep moving for the big lust harbor pull

#

and then later when the add spawns on boss you cc it or pull it with boss and kick

warm plinth
lone eagle
#

but usually hunter or rogue just trap/blind

warm plinth
#

like you have complete control over getting the spy wrong and it's a zero time loss

kind rapids
#

So you can leave a sentry as well as a sentry tower up to speed up the RP

lone eagle
#

Just depends on group coordination

kind rapids
#

What if lets say cc sentry, get the tower but then not kill the sentry?

lone eagle
#

sentries are irrelevant

warm plinth
#

It's not leaving the sentry alive that prevents the RP

lone eagle
#

They only exist to activate towers

warm plinth
#

It's letting them get a cast off

#

Which they can't do if the beacon is gone (or even worse, they'll run to another one and pull shit)

lone eagle
#

The tower is exclusively the mechanic that spawns the add

kind rapids
#

Ight, I understand now

#

Ty kind sirs

lone eagle
#

you skip first sentry (optionally) because its inconvenient with the big harbor pull and CDs

#

but if you don't, you pull it with the manasabers next to the tower because they are efficient completion

#

albeit spooky on fort grievious spiteful week

warm plinth
#

idk why you had to remind me of the affixes

#

did I do something to you in a past life

lone eagle
#

perhaps

kind rapids
#

Probably

lone eagle
#

just did a 19 CoS and had people struggling with 1 cat

#

can't imagine what they'd do with 2

warm plinth
#

the cats just want pets

#

and scritches

lone eagle
#

Timed it pretty easily but was basically me blasting my whole way through it

#

did 55k ST at one point

kind rapids
#

The more I hear about prot warr dmg the more I realize just how bad I am at it

woeful jasper
#

new prot alt snagged a puzzle box and a dragongames equip do we actually use those or what

lone eagle
#

they are okay

potent gale
#

what the fuck, i have unlocked loremaster of kultiras BUT... when I search drust do it it says its not completed

lone eagle
#

Definitely much better trinkets out there

kind rapids
#

How do you manage 55k ST

woeful jasper
#

im using an enduring scale and a ruby

warm plinth
lone eagle
#

good SS resets on a quick burn lol

warm plinth
#

Hover over the achievement icon on the right

potent gale
lone eagle
#

Obv over the course of 3 minutes w/o lust it'd go down

kind rapids
#

Fair

#

But I for sure need to do more damage than I do

lone eagle
#

A lot of it is talents

potent gale
lone eagle
#

Like, the key talent setup for pwar isn't going to do giga ST normally without luck

kind rapids
#

I did like 35k overall on the tyran week we just had

lone eagle
#

In raid your ST will go up a lot with Sudden Death

#

tbh on Tyran weeks in a few keys now I just run Sudden Death

#

RLP for example

kind rapids
#

Oh no I just reminded myself of Temple last pack

fallen pulsar
#

Yeah, more ST damage is big for some tyrannicals

lone eagle
#

It also counts as rage spent

#

For the purposes of Violent Outburst

#

so slightly faster rage cycling

fallen pulsar
#

also run glacial phial on like RLP, AA, and TJS

kind rapids
#

Oh the proc does?

lone eagle
#

Yeah

kind rapids
#

Didnt know that

lone eagle
#

Makes it great in raid to rage cycle aggressively

#

Get a few lucky procs and you can get an extra giga shield slam in ava

kind rapids
sweet dagger
#

hmm struggling hard on my choices here

u guys macro shield slam to ignore pain?

kind rapids
#

But maybe now with forti week Ill run the eye of the storm phial

#

Or do I just stick to glacial?

potent gale
kind rapids
#

Btw @lone eagle why do you lust harbor?

fallen pulsar
#

as a side button sure, as your main shield slam button no

whole quail
#

What embellishment are you guys going for beside lariat?

#

I had fangs but i think it doesnt performa as well

warm plinth
fallen pulsar
#

I have fang + belt

whole quail
#

I guess if you have raid rings, belt is better

fallen pulsar
#

fang is good in ST

#

I don't have the raid rings, belt is still fine even without them

#

but getting a lariat would've been a minor upgrade for me at the time vs going up like 30 ilvl in each piece

potent gale
#

any recommendations for proffession?

fallen pulsar
#

enchanting makes bank

#

mining + jewelcrafting is also good

potent gale
#

what goes with ench

#

inscription?

fallen pulsar
#

nah

whole quail
#

anything i guess

fallen pulsar
#

its self sufficient

potent gale
#

ah

fallen pulsar
#

you can pair with a gatherer to sell the mats

#

or another crafter if you have a gather alt

potent gale
#

like, mining

fallen pulsar
#

yeah

potent gale
#

alright, thanks

fallen pulsar
past gyro
#

prot spec or dps spec better for vault?

lusty narwhal
#

LOL my 2 421 vault slots are ruby whelp and a fucking 2h weapon

#

kill me

fallen pulsar
#

if you need a shield prot/dont need damage trinkets, prot spec

uneven mason
fallen pulsar
#

if you dont need a shield/want damage trinkets, fury spec

#

or arms to reduce the number of possible weapons

#

if you have a good shield and weapon

fallen pulsar
#

ah yeah I forgot tailoring didnt need a gatherer

#

D/Eing stuff from tailoring is also based

lusty narwhal
#

i guess im taking cloak?

#

lol

fallen pulsar
#

allready got chest tier?

lusty narwhal
#

398 but not using it atm using a 408 non set

fallen pulsar
#

are you 2 set already

lusty narwhal
#

yes

fallen pulsar
#

then yeah, highest ilvl upgrade prob

mighty valley
#

i'd take weapon for offspec lol

lusty narwhal
#

LOL

#

what if i just took ruby shell to inflate my ilvl with no plans to use it

sweet dagger
lusty narwhal
#

maybe412 ruby welp is a banger

#

421*

fallen pulsar
#

offspec keks prot only life

#

I already outdps half the pug warriors in my groups anyhow... sadge

lusty narwhal
#

what if i just fully endorse the whelp shell and its just great at 421

fallen pulsar
#

I mean, what trinkets do you have

#

you could sim a 421 whelp shell in gear compare and see

mighty valley
lusty narwhal
#

not great ones ive been using bladebinder 402 and spiteful storm 411, i also have a 402 decoration

sick sentinel
#

I take tier here personally.

fallen pulsar
#

I feel like blazebinder and spiteful would do better than whelp

#

same with deco

#

but simming is the only true answer

lusty narwhal
#

actual fucking troll vault

lone eagle
lusty narwhal
#

can you add trinket you dont have

#

in top gear>?

mighty valley
#

remember when our "vault" was one item

fallen pulsar
#

yeah

lone eagle
#

lust harbor, lust a pack + fel enforcer, lust last boss

fallen pulsar
#

you can add a line to your simc lmao

#

might be easier ways of doing it

kind rapids
lone eagle
#

Tyran week trash doesn't usually last long enough

south zealot
lone eagle
#

so I just say fuck it and lust 1st and either 2nd or 3rd based on buffs/healer

past gyro
#

whoops

#

didnt mean to make that so big...

south zealot
#

ofc the shoulders

sick sentinel
#

Shoulders

fallen pulsar
#

honestly, lusting a big pack at the start in fort weeks is really good for improving time

#

over saving for boss

lone eagle
#

Yeah, I do it in SMBG too.

past gyro
#

i wasnt sure if the avoidance tertiary made it better in long run

mighty valley
#

bigger ilvl gap, bigger ilvl piece... what's even the question here

lone eagle
#

Fort week I lust the 2nd pull by snapping up the bone axe guys and caster from downstairs

south zealot
#

ig the avoidance but avoidance is useless for prot

lone eagle
#

So its an 8 mob pack

#

then lust 2nd boss and lust the two void adds before last boss

mighty valley
#

tertiaries are nice in a same ilvl situation but they basically never make a difference in a gear comparison

fallen pulsar
#

I love shit like that lmao, zooping mobs through the floor

tulip kelp
mighty valley
#

hell yes

tulip kelp
#

Is that too much crit/too little haste?

#

Everything that drops for me has crit on it

fallen pulsar
south zealot
#

i prefer to have most haste as possible as prot and 2nd crit but crit is big damage

lusty narwhal
#

@fallen pulsar i figured it out

grave flower
#

How many of you made the shield of the heart over the other one

lusty narwhal
#

simc actually includes your vault if you alrdy opened it

lone eagle
#

Realistically you want tons of haste

fallen pulsar
#

oh thats really neat

mighty valley
#

if you could pick your stats sure you'd probably drop some crit for haste but you take what you get

lone eagle
# tulip kelp

I wouldn't go out of your way to drop crit, but probably moving some mastery into haste and a bit of crit into haste would be ideal

#

Don't drop ilvl though ultimately

wraith prism
#

do our haste % numbers regress when new patch releases, or does it generally stay the same and only get better as expansion goes on?

warm plinth
lone eagle
#

Just if you have the choice to move some things around

lusty narwhal
#

@gha

#

@warm plinth simc includes vault

#

so i can just top gear

mighty valley
ocean bloom
warm plinth
lone eagle
#

They've done some secondary tuning in xpacs before mid xpac

tulip kelp
#

@lone eagle Yeah its hard, not really having any chances at the moment.. I have a chest piece that's haste/mastery instead of crit/mastery but its 3 ilvl

lone eagle
#

But realistically

#

you can expect to easily achieve 30%+% haste without going hard on it in a tier or two

mighty valley
#

you could also look at it the other way and be like "35% crit chance is hype"

#

we angst over stats too much in general

past gyro
#

i wonder why that is

#

when i was playing wrath having gear with optimal stats felt 200% more impactful than in retail where its just ilvl> everything

south zealot
#

because strength is the best offensive stat and defensive stat

#

just how the game has progressed

warm plinth
#

wrath also had dumb stats that weren't fun but made a big difference

vapid crane
#

is it better to lose 16 ilvl from an item to get the set bonus or nah

past gyro
#

true like hit/expertise/defense

vapid crane
#

2 set

warm plinth
#

You can sim it, but it's probably worth

past gyro
#

but it did feel good to get a piece with huge expertise and then the boss wasnt parrying ur big revenges anymore

south zealot
#

theres no way i would do that

vapid crane
#

the vault dropped me a 382 set chest and im using a 398 chest atm

blazing condor
#

if youre missing out on set bonus youre inting

#

at least 2 set

warm plinth
#

16 ilevel on one piece of gear is not going to equate to 4% dps/less damage taken

blazing condor
#

^

past gyro
#

what is the uptime on the 2set, normally 100%?

blazing condor
#

should be around there

past gyro
#

i still dont have mine 🙃

blazing condor
#

you got like 6 seconds inbetween revenge presses

#

which you should fill

warm plinth
#

It'll be less on ST since iirc you still execute over revenge

#

But overall it'll be really high uptime

blazing condor
#

feels like itd be worth to maintain 2set during execute

#

but idk the dmg

warm plinth
#

I just looted a random nomad cache near a centaur village and it gave me more draconium than a draconium nodes gives me 😠

blazing condor
#

You got drac-owned-ium

#

get it

warm plinth
#

How dare you

south zealot
#

i get it

sweet dagger
#

so do ppl rock 4 set?

jagged ferry

Do I open vault on fury spec if I don’t want a 1H or shield, does all the other loot tables work for all specs?

Thankyou

#

Hi friends, is there something as too much haste? I wonder if theres a breakpoint

warm plinth
#

There is

#

It's 100%

jovial birch
#

Feels bad when my best vault option is a sword that I want just for transmog.

blazing condor
#

you can take tokens

#

free sockets

feral wing
jovial birch
#

Raid sword from Sennarth already have cos one.

prisma crane
warm plinth
#

well it's just a soft breakpoint 😂

prisma crane
#

now 100% vers, now we're talkin

blazing condor
#

fuck that

#

200%

prisma crane
#

even better

#

pull any key from boss to boss and just sit there like you're on a target dummy for 10 years

jovial birch
blazing condor
#

well

#

not free

#

but you get sockets

fallen pulsar
#

just crossed 2200, only 300ish more io to go 🙂

blazing condor
#

you can trade the dude next to the vault if you pick tokens from vault

prisma crane
#

200 if you just want the upgrades

fallen pulsar
#

I want KSH

prisma crane
#

PSH

jovial birch
#

Hmm that may be the way to go, can you add a socket to any piece of gear you already have?

prisma crane
#

KSH should be cake by the time average ilvls are like 410+

fallen pulsar
#

ye, but I might as well push while I can

prisma crane
#

though i did run with a 408 4p ele sham that did less damage than me

#

im not exactly sure how

#

im like 400

fallen pulsar
#

I outdamage at least 1 DPS pretty regularly

#

lots of DPS suck at their rotation, but do enough mechanics to get carried damagewise

prisma crane
#

also did a run with a 405 lock that had to be botting or something, did like 20k overall in a TJS

modern brook

even if that is the case

fallen pulsar

do rez bracers take an embellishment slots

fallen pulsar

bstance is the biggest cheese, a whole wheel

if a tank beats you on dps you have a problem

unless the tank is like 20-30 ilvl over you

#

Wowhead ranked all totem as B tier because you have to be actively tanking for the procs, is it a better trinket for m+ since you are always tanking?

warm plinth
#

yes

#

It's also uncapped aoe

dry spear
#

is 4P worth taking over higher ilvl non net pieces?

wary haven
#

So what’s next BIS trinket for slot 2? Rumbling Ruby or something else?

Gloves would be my 3pc. current belt is 398, current helm is 402, gloves are 402

you raid tuesday morning pre-server shut down?

If you get ilvl plus a set bonus from helm that’s an easy decision

jagged ferry

Already have 4set

wary haven

What trinkets?

Do you have

jagged ferry

Rumbling ruby does really strong dmg for me in m+ and has the luxury of not being on use

jagged ferry

servers laggin, people getting home from work lol

wary haven
#

Grieftorch would be some nice big damage if you wanted to fuck around with it I’d say

slim dove
#

grieftorch is giga bis.

wary haven
#

Otherwise go ilvl or stats

modern brook
#

or like i guess this weeks?

#

then you take greif torch and go next

jagged ferry
#

Im Aussie, so today is reset day ahaha

modern brook
#

ahhhhhh

#

that makes a lot of sense

jagged ferry

So you lads reckon Grief?

wary haven
#

Jfc I wish I had that luck in my vault

modern brook
#

So your vault is literally

wary haven
#

Grief is a great choice

jagged ferry
#

I just simm'd and it said Grief is highest DPS increase

take grief torch, if you can wait it out and get one from raid take tier ilvl

i was about to type that

fallen pulsar
#

especially as a tank, very rare to ever get a ghost lmao

modern brook
#

you shouldnt be taking classes for their ability to "not pad more after a pack"

fallen pulsar
#

and even then, you can usually tank 1-2 without getting bopped

Literally 1 spec gets owned and its assa rogue

so like i said 1 spec

and shitty healers

#

Leech or Avoidance for high level keys/raiding?

wary haven
#

Leech is pretty strong

viral moth
#

should i put valor into shield or autoattack ring first?

modern brook
#

and save it for trinkets /rings

fallen pulsar
#

if you pull packs into more open spaces spiteful becomes even easier, reduce the chance of butt pulls from panicking DPS that forgot the ghosts

modern brook
#

IDK if aa ring is worth valoring tho

south zealot
fallen pulsar
#

leech is better imo, since we can stack it higher realistically. Parry is more likely to happen for us than avoids

viral moth
#

im hoping that i get shield drop when we reclear mythic eranog

I need so many more 16s+ this week

418 shield wont get replaced until you get a 421 from vault so

slim dove

fallen pulsar

basically, if you fail as engi blizz is trolling you

lusty narwhal

is there anything better to use in bracer slot? other than bres if your not eng

slim dove
#

Look at her buffs.

cinder storm
#

Yeah, I seen that, is it as soon as she buffs herself or after moon phase?

lusty narwhal
#

Also do you just have to BE engineering to make the trinket 1% fail? or do you have to have poiints in it

slim dove
#

ive had venryr claw frenzy 5x in a row before lul

fallen pulsar
#

whenever she gains deathspike stacks

slim dove
#

then next pull not use it once.

modern brook
fallen pulsar
#

she gains deathspike stacks from autoing you

#

iirc

lusty narwhal
#

@modern brook no im saying could i just like have engineering and get 1% fail rate? or does it have to be leveled

south zealot
#

engi is a useless profession

Gotta pay more attention to it then, but that fight is so easy that I really didn't worried much about it
