Don't hold onto CDs to line it up with avatar
Don't hold onto avatar to line it up with CDs
Just, send it
They're all so short that even a 3s delay is a DPS loss
Based, was wondering this before. I often cdr avatar so much that it no longer syncs with demo
Roughly
Might steal this
#1 rule for being good at prot - Press Your Fucking Buttons
in M+ there are specific pulls i get 2 avatars off when we go big dick
so wait are people running bloodborne these days
20% more dam to bleeds
No shit are ppl really just macroing avatar into their abilities???
Bind to mouse wheel and fly
Squeaky bat?
Im pretty sure its still a dps loss
GCD clipping bug iirc
Uhhh I assume yes? But I dont remember which node it is on the talent tree
Haha
Might be one I always have on or off
Far right by spell block
Bloodborne is 2 points wasted
where do i find the spell reflect wa thingie that was pinned?
Did it get unpinned?
Trinket wise - 1. Is Burgeoning Seed any good? My current ones are decent, but just got this at high lvl. 2- If it is good, do I wait for 5 stacks to use it, or use it on CD even if I don't have 5 stacks?
It is not good
Casual here and there's a chance I could fill in for one of the tanks on N Raz tonight, any tips/tricks? I assume the recommended Wowhead build for Raz is a solid choice to run? Most of my current tanking experience is up to M+10
Thanks, thats what I was hoping/expecting.
Dont get blown off and dont eat breaths
that tank buster is spooky if you are not used to it
any got it? 😄
not seeing the WA pinned anywhere.
If it’s unpinned there may be a reason why but there you go
Idk what the wowhead talent chart is but I’d drop pain and gain for wrecking throw or w/e it is called and use it on each shield in phase 2
After getting the damage buff btw
healing
damage
buff
current standing
its ehhhhh
if you put 6 all into one
its decent?
i think?
All 6 in one is suppoesed to be very good
thanks err'body
Fire shot level 6 is competitive with grieftorch in single target according to wowhead
The wowhead article goes into more detail
yea ive read it
Simply train two whelp shells
wanted to try it myself i have a 405 one
Ezpz
I tried to do the haste buff one, but it went to the healing one...
apparently you cant
Oh rip
Its based on character, not shell
its a currency in the backend
Make 2 end game geared warriors
Idk whelp shell is basically in: much testing to be done mode for now
It’s main issue is consistency
(And random pulling mobs according to the article)
im prob just gonna put all of it into haste and forget about it tbh
I think getting one thing to level 6 is best, but not sure what is best overall
anyone have any tips for not getting ur butthole gigablasted on mythic grimtotem?
The raidwide?
I tried a lot of things out first night, we pretty much settled that its best for our DK to tank most thing for the fight and I only taunt for the tank buster
since dks just ignore magic damage pret much
some pret sketch logs in some of those pulls
dont judge
Warriors innate lack of magic damage does seem to be a problem for most bosses. I find myself crushing ignore pain to mitigate as much as I can. Not sure there’s much else you can do
Most magic dmg heavy bosses*
im looking at logs and i see people just waiting to use shield wall late in the phases when magic damage is high
and spamming spell reflect
some people even taking the double shield wall talent for more uptime late in phases
Does anyone remember the weak aura that would have a pop up that said how much you reflected?
I wonder if spell block would help?
dont usually see historic kill logs with people taking it
53th CoS run, got my chest
was this known ? https://www.wowhead.com/news/how-to-train-your-ruby-whelp-shell-very-high-damage-or-stat-trinket-330947#trinket-performance
I feel like flame dominance is high? I could be wrong but I think by like 20-25 stacks you move the boss, how much energy does he have when you move him? (Unsure if mythic procs dominance more often)
Seems like he got to 29 stacks of flame dominance
in mythic grimtotem you take flame until 95% boss energy
so like the entirety of p1
because if you move him to another alter he spawns a huge add
but you can time it so that as hes spawning the add post 95% in the second alter he goes into intermission insteada
real jank
Yeah I mean that strat will stress you in terms of magic damage, so idk, spell block and shield wall for late in the phase
Spell block lasts a long time too
long cd too
Right thats why you hold it for when the damage matters
Should catch 4-5 flame dominance casts depending on your timing
Hey, dumb question maybe but i didnt really play Shadowlands. If i have a helmet with a socket and when the creation catalyst thing comes out does it keep the socket if i transform it into a set item?
Yes
thanks
I have a feeling spell block doesnt work
cant find a log of anyone using it
i assume low parsing warriors would have it because more defensive build, but even then they dont take it
Could also be healing? Your prevoker and 2 resto druids also gray parsing healing, but only looked at one pull
Naw just call for an external couldnt be the healers not healing /s
I feel like the "new" tank philosophy is that if you're struggling to live as a tank its your fault only
Also disclaimer, am pretty new at log analysis so take things I say with big grains of salt
Yep and its flat out incorrect at times
no problem Nando, (I was hoping [SENSE] was around to give me some tips since he seems to be doing something right)
Sense in next level lol
very regular and clean CD use
But I dont see him post here often
like, this is threat for our best pull
I dont want my cotank to hate me lol
Even with my barely tanking, my EHRPS is still waaaay higher than his
its just brutal
(hes also tanking the add full time)
I feel like a dps that just taunts for tank buster
About to do a 21 jade temple just started playing prot last week how I survive the tank buster on the third boss?

Could it be because healers aren't anticipating the extent of the damage? He's doing an insane amount of healing could be an issue of communicating to healers you're about to taunt so they can be ready?
spell reflect p1, potions for p2, move out for p3
and save all defensives for p2
Should I take spell block?
if you want
you'd only really use it on that boss and maybe last trash pull
also not tyrannical so...
i think our healers are struggling a little with the movement
i think with our dance strat they might even be running out of range of me
i really wish we had a pally healer
scariest part:
they kinda far
alright, I saw you guys talk about this a couple nights ago, so if I have 402+ bis rings I should be wearing them over assembly right?
Sim it
this mythic?
yes
@sturdy sable how do I sim it for tanking?
I didnt use the cobalt ring on the Heroic Raz kill we had last night, but every m+ dungeon I use it and its about 10% of my overall healing
you sim it for damage
no tank sims
an absorb ring shouldnt really be the reason you live/die
tldr another QED?
do we know what we want to train our welp in yet?
Your IP casts drop off when you have the DoT on Kurog, why?
haste 4head, no but seriously i have that trinket but only a s a 376 non valor
so it s not even an item on my radar currently
it disappears as soon as I press it
I mean the casts
You're literally not using your #1 magic mitigation tool
while bleeding to death
Of course it vanishes (it's getting used heh"
I see for one you had a ton...
which dropped the dmg alot
guys using sophic or frozen dev?
what determines the shield on the last miniboss before last boss in RLP?
the amount
Your co tank is just really good at BDK TBH, I'm looking at his RP use and how he's banking up to gain massive benefits from bloodshield during DoT uptime, combined with AMS, he has no fucks to give about the elemental damage.
The shields the little adds have
Speaking of more casts
Shield Wall
You have 1 used in 3min
If you pull in side mini adds right before he casts shield he gets a massive shield and is very hard to break
I know from experience as well
i was trying different things a lot with when to use SW on this fight, I started using it + last stand on each of the sundering strikes but eventually I tried to hold it until as late as i can in the phase
because thats where I was dying
Because your healers were probably getting behind the curve
Isn’t SW like close to a minute CD w the cdr?
right
The talents I see most taking if any are double shield wall talent
since intermissions is not scary at all
Also your healers both have guardian spirit and neither cast it...
just saying
- priests
It was our first night on it, we're all still learning the fight so cant expect optimal play. Just wanted to get some ideas of what others are doing on it
You could probably benefit from some CD use, the damage you take from strike seems above normal
what are people training ruby whelp shell to do?
Crit
Is weave of warped fates still worth? Seems like you lose a lot taking that over another str trinket
Was just using this to see deeper into the pull
Gotcha
would the alchemical flavor pocket be best on sword or shield? see some people say ring but i didnt craft one yet.
on the initial hit or dot?
Logs I see are like this:
using shield walls during the dot and not on the initial
I've generally just used spell reflect on the initial hit
we sue spell block for ruby life pol?:P
its prety must have on tyrannical since you cant block anything from first boss
ah orighty
also good on second boss magic bleed that trucks
whole place is a lot of magic damage
i just did my first 20 SBG timed, and this is details. I fell i still miss a lot of dps.... 402 ilvl with lariat and 1h 418
does someone have some tip for a noob?
were you in battle stance?
Dps in battle stance
Switch to defensive when you're getting trucked
Makes a huge difference
that 10%?
20%
😮
i see only Defensive Stance decrease dmg 10%
and its about 2-3k, i fell like i miss 10k overall
Battle is like a 11-12%-ish increase after the crit
true
But before that;
That would put you around 30k and sbg doesn't have huge pulls
Do you have logs? There's likely something wrong with your base cast rotation if your numbers are that low
2.8k rogue btw
yeah tis what i fell but i dont have
Otherwise, all I got for you is send CDs on cooldown, don't miss SS resets, make sure to spend rage properly on revenge/avoid overcapping with IP
Could be talents as well
If you can, set up DBM or something to go ahead and set up auto-logging so you can submit those. It lets us check your talents, CPM, rage usage, CD utilization, etc
really thanks, i will 😄
do u have some tips for inc pulls?
i use shield charge mainly to pull
never use shield charge to pull
It's a damage CD
You're losing rage, too, by not using base charge to start a pull
oh yeah sure
On top of that, if you're going into a pull and staying in the pull, as in not getting any more mobs, you want to throw Ravager in before you charge in order to get a bit of extra rag gen and aggro, as well as to get its CD rolling
After that, your general goal is to:
- If you need aggro, SS/TC before continuing
- Demo Shout
- T Roar
- Shield Charge
And spend IP as necessary to avoid overcapping during all of this
also avatar as you charge in
hey guys, which embellishment should i use for the shield?
That's generally the best compromise between damage and actually keeping aggro on a pull with all CDs available
None
the food one i think is best for shield
The food one that's not actually an embellishment, yeah
Lariat/belt crew
If you already have it,
none unless you somehow can't get other embellishments
in which case armor spikes i guess?
im using lariat / sword (fang) but im removing that because i just made the waist with the special embellishment
ah nevermind - i already have 2 embellishments
people do this but not for this reason btw
hm - is the belt better than the shield then?
If you have the raid rings, yes
Either of the raid rings, I mean
you use ravager to pull packs for sync'ing up spell reflects
If not, it's roughly like the other embellishments in performance, iirc
sure, i'm owning
Does that work for imps in CoS If they cast it before the rest of your group gets in combat?
why is that a bad choice? i like the additional stun as well
Shockwave is good
Or does it on SR one fire blast
for imps you need your group to stay out of cast range
35yrd or something
30
ish
Turning it away from a stun into "Use on CD to int your group by making mobs stun immune in order to get damage that's less than Unstoppable Force/T Roar" is
less than advisable
And it reflects all of them?
yes
That’s sick, I didn’t realize that was a thing
If the casts are synced up*
did you wipe or
i dont think so
is it worht to go into lfr for the 4p bonus ?
damn then
spicy overall
how did you do so much reflect dmg, highest ive had is like 900k
did you solo imps or what
i did all 3 packs of imps
Does it one shot imps? Lmfao
Yup first time I witnessed this magic was in mt hyjal, the necromancer waves would all sb at the same time
no
it doesnt no
at 20 21 its like
it does like 20% of their hp
but usually you just stun them once and the group burns them down
It's usually slower than just interrupting the cast and blasting them, ye
in 2seconds
you reflect first casts, shock wave 2nd, at which point your team should arrive
it's definitely faster to just do the pull normally
I think it might be a personal DPS loss, too, waiting for the cast
no its not
unless you're like leaping in when your group couldn't be there anyway
but still you can just let them run to you
what i usually do is start a pack normally, leap to the imps mid pull, and merge the pull
they all patrol so its not forced in anyway
the imps will come to you mid pull
just make sure to engage them out of range
i guess but then you might miss spell reflect on the succ
which is like 600k on 20+
It's faster if your team arrives on time and they kill them or stun their second casts, otherwise it's probably a wipe on some
I’m guessing theres a way to do this in SBG as well with the death blasts?
i run disrupting shout in cos anyway so
shock wave disrupting shout etc
either way, ravager pull is most relevant for the last pack of temple
TJS
I've thought about this a bit; how's it working out?
if you ravager pull that pack
i never leave home without it
this isn't 100% consistent in my experience so i insta shockwave all 3 when i can
i should more read into the prot section getting good infos
do you just drop SOF for disrupting
with ravager pull its 100% unless you didnt hover all 3 of them with the initial hit
i already drop TL T_T
which can happen if youre off a lil bit with the cast circle
but what about my question from earlier where i thought about going into lfr to get my 4p for prot m+ if its worth or not
TL sucks
yeah i dropped TL for Ram
that shit is mediocre as hell
LFR pieces way too low, most likely
ram is for tyrannical
Like, 4P is super useful
holy shit someone asked for vault advice and actually posted their character
but LFR pieces are like, M0 level or something
that's wild
Lfr is garbage ilvl, 4p isn't worth any ilvl
It's been happening, Matta
you just gotta be in here at the crack of servers up on tuesday
the sim says trinket is best, but it feels so bad to take 415 trinket when i have tier legs upgrade etc
idk @azure light what kind of content are you doing
how soon can you get 415-418 shield
mythic prog and m+
trying to get a crafted one, just hard to find a crafter
the biggest upgrade for you rn is the shield
ok
have to wait one more week before i get my 4p then
but that should get replaceD ASAP anyway
what server
ye man the shield front has been bad, also insanely unluck with everything
Doomhammer 
not people who are doing mythic prog
oh yea youre on your own
You're literally missing nothing
our 4pc sucks
i have 10 set, so i prbly shouldnt talk XD legit gotten so many tier pieces this tier
because we never die
is Flame of Decoration good for m+?
4pc is not that great but feels pretty good to use
"insanely unlucky" says man with 4pc, auto attack ring, two good trinkets
my guild told me because im fury main in raid "u will get it last" 
is the belt worth for m+ due to kiting? or what is the reason for the belt?
the belt activates the raid ring
i mean, thats all grinded for though
Who the fuck kites
spellblock fucks^
how do you grind for raid trinkets
@azure light is that doomhammer EU or NA?
kiting is for the weak
EU
unless youre doing like 22 TJS
also grinding is luck based, people can do COS a thousand times and never see the ring
Yeah ok tha kites, but outside of that
dark claw can be stunned too
Fatburger-turalyon can craft shields
i dont think you need to kite dark claws
You "grind" with the raid lead
ur kiting those mobs if u dont have spellblock..?
fast cast but doable
even if i dont have spell block i have other cds
can dark claw be reflected by spell block?
i doubt ur surviving a high key without spell block on that pack
no, but it can be reflected by spell reflect 😛
you can with perfect play and high group co-ordination
guys i need some brainstorming about the most efficient way to mark mobs in key, which add on on macro, then which keybind
dude try it
spell reflect -> shield wall -> bunch of stuns -> spell reflect
well yea that too
it's doing
but i never intentionally kite the dark claws
SPELL BLOCK BLOCKS DARK CLAWS LOL?
Have you tried M+ Automarker? It’s a weak aura
ye but my guild is always complaning about it because i cant decide which marker will be what
hey man trust me
try it on a lower key or something
ravager pull the TJS pack
make sure to hit all 3 of the dark claw mob
at the same tick
they will 100% cast at the same time
unless your group stuns them
395 ilv no tier, whats a reasonable key level ( wanna see how much i should be pushing without becoming a healing nightmare)
I would just push your own keystone and see for yourself since there are a lot of variables here
alternatively push your own key until your IO lets you get into 16s
dorki tanked 23s at ilvl 395
Let that be the healers problem then. Don't hold yourself back unless you find out you can't go further
Are these the best sockets for ur lariat?
STR + Haste
Crit+ Haste
Crit + haste?
okay yeah i pug alot of shit so the runs go as expected with pugs and io climbing. 16 seems to be comfortable for me its the highest ive done but it didnt feel hard last week. so at this point its a group thing and mechanics to keep pushing io up for 16s im sitting just below ksm atm
actualy i was doing the 16 at 390 but i got a better shield helm and trinket last night so im gonna push hard this week
sounds solid guys ty
ye thx
ok i got a lot of hate here for saying stuff like this but sim arent gonna prepare you for situations where you dump literally every last point of rage into IP and it still won't hold up. And the people telling you defensiveness comes from play are doing 17,18s with 410 and 4p
Its pre set to set specific mark for specific mob, based on prio, if same mob are same its random, based on what you mouseover first .
Imho, what is what isnt that important , learn what has most prio , lets say its X, and then tell your rogue to aleays sit X , etc etc prio by prio, going from most efective class to least ( like going rogue>>war>>priest etc) .
Alternatively, u can open setings of that WA and go mob by mob yourself and select markers u want
😂 😂 Sending it full haste
oh nice okay
there is a reason ~7 out of 10 top warrior are running shield cobalt ring at high level keys
which sim wont tell you ever
Not shield one
This is real good for prot right?
Also for me 415s rings are better than dmg cobalt
maybe
oh
after you trained it 6 times
We just don't know yet
Hmm okay
but we are gathering more data
i messed up my whelpling 😦
hey lads, how do we proc fire rings reliably? the crafted belt?
what should I train it in
yeah thats a fucked up whelp
only belt
fireshot
but is it enough?
epic
😬
altho
bruh, wish we had cowl
if its 1 to 1 ratio
you get 40% value
I started training my dragon for ST today, by the time I'm done training we'll know if it's actually good or not
we made an elaborate wowhead post about it mooman
and even opened up our bear troupe discord 😄 to gather more data
monka
anyone know what is best to train on the ruby welp trinket?
hmm, might just try the aoe then
mine is currently 5fireshot 1lobbing nova
yea same imma just do aoe dummy
ill set it to 4-2 tomorrow
whats your % overall with that setup?
mine is only 372 and i just restored it today
but it did like 3% on eranog
1k dps
oh neat
sophic or frozen
sophic is better on aoe
frozen is better if youre low ilvl and not as good at prot yet
Think I have a 392 Ruby in my bank I need to check it out
You think the aoe or single target dps?
which buff are prot getting for the ruby trinket?
Or the haste
i would think aoe or haste right?
i have mixed feeling about 16% uptime haste proc
16% uptime in how long of a fight?
Can i full train it in one day?
its 1 rppm 12 sec proc
or you mean whole encounter? like m+ run?
Jo 1h embellishment as ok as wrist? Got a good wrist with socket and think about crafting 418 with embellishment to replace it
the thing about that in a M+ setup is
you could have it proc at near end of a pack
and by the time you pull the next
its off
lol
each embellishment is ~1% dmg and/or stat gain on average
it doesnt matter much Pleppy
hmm yea good point
Yeah so nvm then I go for ir
thats the issue with RNG yes
i guess aoe for m+ is prolly the safe choice then
yea i would assume so but its all value dependant
the aoe proc does 20% less dmg on ST, but starts beating the ST proc as soon as 2 targets are present
the ST dmg is consistent
so thats its +
the aoe shot is also 1-1 split
the typical BFA split, splits even among enemies, increases by 15% total dmg each time up until 5 targets
hence why im trying a 4ST 2AOE split from tomorrow onwards
ah nice
cuz i think thats a solid spread for m+
i think ill just go full aoe and then once people figure out meta will switch
I item recovered mine and turned out this is how I'm set up after I trained it today
neat
so go slam some keys and bosses
and give us the data in the bear troupe discord
the link to it is in the wowhead article
Not worth going for the haste training?
needs to be figured out
cant just say it day1
we need people to go for it
and report back
This the Ruby Whelping we're talking about?
yes
True true. It would almost double my haste during procs, so that is kinda cray cray
it is huge for classes who dont need to line it up with CDs
like rogues, enha shaman, BM hunter and so on
but it remains RNG
Hey all - are there any prot warriors out there that do coaching / watch gameplay to help improve?
yes
Is bear troupe a guild or a community

community
@jagged pier is that you saying....you? Lol
yer i can
not in game tho
not tonight tho
I'll shoot you a DM
just PM me and ill get round it it tomorrow
Sounds good!
Question for those that also have the 4-set, have you noticed doing anything beneficial? it feels very negligible and I feel like it would be better to just have gear with stats
it does alot of trickle absorbs
and it enables brutal vitality
but its alot of trickle
so you cant just point it out, but it is definitely quite strong defensively
do u want stats and effect or just stats?
In those situations where u dont swim in rage ( ST, no CDs, no BL, unlucky procs) for big hits like 2nd rlp or bird in AA etc, defensive wise, is it better to press revenge for 2pc or to spend rage on one extra IP?
HashtagAllStatsMatter
its bis assuming same ilvl
higher ilvl wins
but if its your highest, take it
stats arent that important
depends on dmg intake
but usually youd want to revenge
to get reset chance on shield slam
is better in the long run
treat revenge as your reset button for SS
Serious point though, is that it's very easy in Dragonflight to overdo the stat priorities; Just because Haste and Crit are very good doesn't mean you can entirely avoid Versatility and Mastery
That makes sense, was comparing only 2pc vs IP and totaly forget about another SS proc chance
if you over IP you wont get as many resets and die
SS resets is what keeps you alive
unironically
Yea totaly forget to include that, thanks
Worth upgrading Potion Stained Cloak that has speed on it? No clue what our BiS cloak is
So is the whelp meme bait or actually good now
People have been shitting on it so much
its better than initially tested
it looks to be one of the better trinkets in the game
but we need more data
Yes but we can get started on training it I guess
yes
It takes a week to build up its priorities. It's like the opposite of SIM bait
man opinion on whelp seems to be see sawing
mine was trained since before m+ released but its bugged on training dummies to not respect the weightings
So it's trained by putting it on an enemy or? That's it?
oh btw
for haste proc
on the table you said the npc in inn etc etc but later in the article it says you guys arent sure which npc
was that just an edit error or
@strong forum
"You can train your whelp by targeting the following entity, and using the trinket:" this is so obscure lol
how are you supposed to figure this out..
by testing it
yea so the mote in inn is not 100% confirmed?
very little is 100% confirmed
okok
i used my cd today ill do it tmr
I will do the mote for 7 days then and report back to you if it works
mine is 405 too
so what do you guys think of this trinket from brackenhide i feel like it's a beter defensive option then any trinket in the game atm sadly it doesn't have a dmg part to it
best defensive trinket in the game
even at m0 it's better then mythic eranog
even at 372
its op as fuck
i used mine on the fire thingy in the valdraken inn and got 1/6 in crit training
i'm pretty sure
we made a weakaura for it
besides just having the script
And all trinkets share same training? Like can i train low ilvl one for X and then another higher ilvl trinket will have same perks?
i think i targeted the right one but still got the crit training
but i'm getting haste procs sometimes
yes
laaaaaaaaaaaame
actually its a good thing
or you'd have to retrain it every time you get an upgraded one
is it?
it having a lower CD would be alot better
from heroic etc
unless you wanted to just swap them around if you have multiple
so you can properly set shit up
and train it in a day
yea
with the new discoveries on the rubywelp trinket is it now better for prot warry
There's no shortcuts when it comes to training your dragon
but imo if they had different CDs the training would be tied to the item instead of the character, and im not sure they even have that tech
i think from what i read in the article
the trainning progress is stored as currency in backend
like literal currencies like VP etc
so its character bound
well ofc, its better than previously known
Looks like this for me now https://i.imgur.com/q5IuCdX.png
so then theoretically that WA could be updated to retroactively collect the data you've already put into it if the game tracks it somewhere
I got the "sleepy" when I targetted the mote
thats pog my has 2 healing and 2 crti buff lol
The fire shot I got from dummies
ah so it already does, nvm
i dont want to clutter up this discord alone with just ruby whelp, so if you wanna report your findings you can do that in our community specifically for this trinket
you can find the link to it in the wowhead post at the "next steps" section
i dont think its too big of a deal, its something ppl will be here to ask about anyways
as they had been even prior to this new article
now to see what ilvl mine is in the restore...
Hehe. Ye got the same ilvl
Good thing trinkets are cheap to upgrade
I traded 402 to friend like 3 days back cuz he had AA box and it was driving him crazy and wanted literaly any replacement
can some1 tell from what I got chunked so hard ? got nearly no dmg whole key, dunno what I missed there
https://gyazo.com/5c8d64cbc2d3973474f82e80fbc1b80c
was it the battleaxe slash ?
Yea looks like slice from axe @dusk hinge
surge
Axe was already casting it as he was backing to it, and he even got debuf exactly as his hp droped . But its maybe both
maybe because I turned around ? cuz I did a 18+ right now and this didnt happen
is it blockable ?
no no
I'm not 100% but pretty sure the initial hit is blockable
sorry for bad quality xD
Yes it was a combination
play it on 0.5 speed it becomes clearer
ye I see
wont attack things you arent aggrod afaik
Its time to restore 405 shell bois
I did the usual path in RLP and i was 98%
Hello fellow prot warriors. I'm just looking for some advice on high key Jade. The third boss when she does jade serpent kick with the heal absorb tends to put me down quite low. Any mitigation suggestions for this? outisde of the usual CD;s? there's only so many you can take
did they change something in RLP?
Pins
Bosses got nerfed
I have a path that I did, I revisited every pack
Trash still slaps tho
it was 98%
Yep
and on MDT it shows 100%
U missed some scorchlings mb
what shell ?
No
I killed them all
I am certain of it

The usual path on RLP
maybe some count is off, it happens with mdt. some of the trash in nok around the twins has incorrect count too
But I already done this path previously without any difference.
what route you guys go in AA these days
vex -> crawh -> tree -> drag
Next time I will pull the primal juggernaut
Ok that is what a party member said is best
"use CD's" was the answer
gonna try that next
Tree->Vex->Dragon->Dragon
good stuff
do you lust this pull
We've been doing Vex>Tree>Bird and lusting Vex and Crawth
If you run without a poison dispel ( like I do ) I prefer lust on tree
I was doing Tree > Bird > Vex on forti
yah we lusted tree just now
we lusted tree and vex
but a big pull could be good with lust fore tree trash
Yea, based on group u can do 3wasps+all blossom and lust .
Or if key is high enough and u u sure just lust bosses and go vex tree bird
This was my route today on my timed 18+

Since nerf i see BL on tree as total waste, no matter of week
i did this on 21 tyr
you did 2 skips ?
ya
Pugs will 100% stun astral bombs
so i go vex, tree, bird, finish
I do 1st pull, bird and last
i agree, they're super easy
theyre easy but a lot of health they said
Acually im pulling 2 packs on the way to vex now
but yeah id rather just kill them
Range class can LoS jump and they do pretty much nothing for the wyrm
how many talents are really interchangeable for M+ in yiour guys' opinions?
theyre not scary and no need to run around
balanced by being able to do a lot of them at once
yup
yah true
i pull all the little ones
yea i always do all 4 sets
RLP might be the most popular key for a while now @strong forum 
I normally just kill everything on my way to the next boss cuz I'm terrible in managing % :p
Yes
It was just mega nerfed?
Nah, people looking for garumon now
Check #promotion
The whelpling trinket got figured out how to do good dmg apparently comparable with grieftorch
does anyone know if we'll be able to convert crafted gear in catalyst?
not sure what i should spend 4th spark on
You can't
damn
Spend sparks on non-tier set items
so its belt-wrist-ring time
I hate as a tank that every dungeon in this expansion doesn't have a linear path
for a socket
Check up exactly what the slots are
What you want
well it was head wrist belt rings in sl
Some do. RLP, TJS, SBG are very linear.
vault is very linear too
its linear in terms of should i get some extra trash somewhere
Yeah yeah there are a few exceptions, was talking more about the actual expansion dungeons
this patch has easily the most linear dungeons of any season
3 of them are literally straight lines
azure vault is also basically a straight line
yeah, these are much more linear than most Slands dungeons
I hate tanking the nokhund ofensive
well uldaman neltharus vault hoi rlp are linear
why
5 out of 8
nokhud might as well be linear since you just clear three areas and then fly directly to final boss
shit, nokhud ez. 2 pats + weapons on granyth, pats and totems for elemental, then just hit 95% in the graveyard area before doing side route to balakhar
Do we take spell block for any dungeons currently? AV maybe?
RLP + TJS
whats to block in av
are probably the most spell block happy dungeons
does spell block prevent jade serpent strike?
Yeah but managing % since you just fly from boss to boss is kinda hard
it blocks the hit
very useful on high tyrs
and block stuff from sha
so fort too
you really just sit and kill trash for like 20 minutes
its a weird problem
It's honestly the most linear dungeon, I feel, since there's "area to kill trash, do so, kill boss"
and
nothing else
you just kill stuff until u have 94.6
Yup
I actually pull random packs
Idk I prefer a closed 1 path dungeon xD
I think they need to do something with Nokhud; it's not fun to run
only checking if there are no 2mystic packs with pugs
You're like sitting there just clearing trash for like 25 minutes
i think they should fix the academy
so its stops destroying itself every second run
im so tired of the teleporting winds not working
how about a 0 path dungeon, because that's nokhud
yeah this is kinda my problem with nokhud
there's just 4 areas in the map
and you exist there
That's exactly why my tiny brain doesn't like it
last pull of TJS you guys CCing any mobs
Well, the trash before last boss does 🙂
that's why we say fuck that and just never see them
corruptors like to stay 20yrds away from others because theyre casting
to annoy you
nah i bigball
tho i only did a 20 tjs lol
so not an expert
excuse me while i tell my mage friend i run with to learn how to poly elementals, then I'll get right on that
shas are not recasting tank hits now if you stun them
same for leg sweeps and other stuff
pretty sure hunters can trap them
so you can time it and feel nice
ok good to know
Warlocks can also banish the single one of them that's an elemental
because most sha are abberations
but one of them's an elemental for some reason
I forget which one, but
isnt haunting an aberration
I think so, yes, but one of the sha in the last pack's an elemental
Whichever one is on the farthest right is, iirc
Yeah, so it at least reduces the amount of damage coming in if you do so
would be weird if haunting wasn't an aberration since paladin can kill it with turn evil
There are the annoying archer types that we can't do anything about and then the healer calls us a bad tank because other people are getting shot. Those are fun. Not.
Nokhud is without doubt the worst dungeon this season
It does very much feel like "hey, we have to put in a dragonriding instance"
Well it was fun for the first time
LET FLY x 300
Man kinda lame you can't get piercing howl without zerker rage
Hey we have a war tank in our guild who is getting destroyed on 2nd ruby pool boss, any idea how to mitigate that ? We were thinking that it was normal as its magic dmg but some pug told us it never happened to him
Do we just have to rely on heal or ? :S
Cycle defensive cds on tank hit, use reflect, take spell block if its hard to survive
It's a bleed
Lol
Spell Block and spell reflect don't do anything
Really
Yes
On a fire boss
And a bleed
Im actually laughing now
😮
Yeah it's so dumb
You can dwarf it, evoker cleanse it
But other than that, plan your shield walls and externals
I tried to only use reflect in 21 today and almost died
And just get healed
Thought wow and they say its nerfed
searing wounds "obviously its a physical bleed guys" some blizzard employee some where
Searing wounds sounds opposite to bleed
actually even more bullshit, because if you seared a wound, it would not bleed
we're not using logic logic, we're using blizzard logic
Thats dumb
🙂
blizz has even correctly identified the process with mage cauterize
Im actually doubting your words
Feel free to check any log
its even in the dungeon journal guide thingy
That’s half the reason it’s believable.
You sure you doing 21s? I'm actually doubting your words
We can reflect a dragon hitting with its claws tho
I have a screenshot!
longest hammer ever
she has big arms
for all the rp they added in DF, what was the thought process there
Imagine if you could just leap out of it
It's probably the longest targeted attack in the game that isn't just "instance wide"
I think i should drop some haste now
I have 40+ with itf
And sims tell me to use crit mast rings
Yeah, pretty sure the sim is memeing on you by assuming ITF isn't just additive non-DR haste.
Im actually doubting your words
Lol just messing.. just sayin super easy to just look up the spell in wowhead
Also took me 1 wipe to realise on tyr week aswell
That i chunked despite Spellblock up
Was like "huh it doesn't show any blocking happening"
Very cringe moment
What dps u do in rlp nome
I've not done rlp in 4 weeks, but I'd assume minimum 50k
Oh
Today I pugged a key which disbanded at 2nd boss
I finished first boss with 71k overall dps for the dungeon
Before starting on 2nd boss trash clearing
If that helps you in any way
Well, that's a lot of whelp damage
Just interested
I did around 60 today
Sounds reasonable
My key is currently rlp 19 and I don't want to pug it, not my favorite key
but at least, if it depletes, it depletes fast
Mate, I'm sitting with a rlp 20 and have <400 ilvl, no 4set and only 20% haste with buffs. I'm not setting my foot in that dungeon
Well it is fort, so it would be doable with a good group
But I fully understand that
^
Yeah, if I had been dwarf maybe and an evoker to help remove bleed on second boss.
If a dps is dead on a boss it gets super spicy instantly
