Ring is by far the safer option

#

100 dps less, but no double on use/risk of getting melted during the channel

#

it's possible enchants will close it more

lusty narwhal
#

checking

#

but i am more of a fan of cosistancy

steady steppe
#

socketed helm

#

i think im just gonna go with ring

toxic pewter
#

All three raid choices pretty good

royal rune
#

yeah they are nice

plush tendon
#

yea, the raid vault is nice

compact jackal
#

one day we'll see the most disgusting vault possible

steady steppe
#

i dont think taking helm is correct cause i can just catalyze a helm next week

compact jackal
#

Strike Twice, Melandrus with socket, Whetstone, Diurna with socket, Grieftorch, and 424 helm

#

imagine that vault

proud dock
#

how does one figure out if the drop in ilvl is worth putting on 4set? i already have 2set. is there a general rule of thumb?

steady steppe
#

how much ilvl are u dropping

tulip kelp
compact jackal
tulip kelp
#

Do I take the 421 tier helm or do I take the 421 helm with socket and CC next week? I'm only 2pc andy still 😦

compact jackal
#

CC

proud dock
#

19ilvl on legs and 36ilvl on chest

#

421 head sheet

compact jackal
#

"Do I take the 421 tier helm or do I take the 421 tier helm with socket? I'm only 2pc andy still 😦"

sick sentinel
#

Why take cc? Take tier so you can use cc next week on another piece for 4 set

steady steppe
toxic pewter
#

Have they announced the catalyst cadence how often we can use it

compact jackal
#

1/wk 5 stacks max

plush tendon
#

once a week

compact jackal
plush tendon
#

honestly, helm with socket with instant transform next week seems like a power play

tulip kelp
compact jackal
#

well I have good news for you

#

2pc is what matters

#

our 4pc is w/e

steady steppe
#

i would clear raid first and then choose if u care that much

tulip kelp
#

Ye true

proud dock
plush tendon
#

a socket costs 6 of those tokens from vault yea?

compact jackal
#

3 iirc

tulip kelp
#

Yeah 6 tokens

steady steppe
#

6 yea

compact jackal
#

is it 6?

toxic pewter
#

Yes 6

plush tendon
#

So I guess the question is; do you want to get 6 tokens for a socket or 1 catalyst charge for helm

lofty widget
#

was 3 in SL s4 cause the season was shorter

compact jackal
tulip kelp
#

Yeah was kinda leaning helm with socket

quiet monolith
#

worth going from 402 gloves to 384 gloves if it gives me my 4 piece?

toxic pewter
#

I would

compact jackal
#

prot tier gloves?

#

I would rather eat mud than touch the tier gloves

quiet monolith
#

crit/haste 402 plate

#

gloves

tulip kelp
#

The 418 brood ring isn't worth it tho right? I already have 418 primal ring and 415 melandrus with socket

toxic pewter
#

I think our 4 pc is pretty good

quiet monolith
#

for tier gloves

compact jackal
plush tendon

#

#

toxic pewter
#

What’s wrong with tier gloves I mean they’re fine

compact jackal
#

keep those instead

tulip kelp
#

Yeah my tier gloves have leech on it, I"m happy to keep them

compact jackal
#

crit/mastery

toxic pewter
#

If it gives you 4 piece def use it

plush tendon
compact jackal
#

if it was for 2 set it'd be a different story

oak echo
#

it's def the piece you drop when you have access to the 4 piece without it but still worth using to get bonuses

toxic pewter
#

I mean yeah it’s difficult to put a value on 4pc but it’s definitely good imo

dire matrix
#

bad take

#

gloves are fine

uneven mason
#

I mean mastery isn't a garbage stat....

toxic pewter
#

It creates ignore pains

dire matrix
#

secondary stats are not that important

#

at all

oak echo
#

right

dire matrix
#

you will equip your best ilvl 4pc until you can mess with slot choices

#

when you have all equal

toxic pewter
#

The creation effect 4pc has when it comes to ignore pain is what I like

uneven mason
dire matrix
#

please dont tell people to avoid hands at all cost

#

its cringe spreading misinformation 🙂

compact jackal
#

384 vs 402

toxic pewter
#

Yeah but it’s 4pc…

dire matrix
#

18 drop for 4 set is worth it

compact jackal
#

it's not 2 set where you could justify it

dire matrix
#

over your highest set

toxic pewter
#

It’s worth it to me

dire matrix
#

18 is close for 2 set

sick sentinel
#

4 set pretty good, especially in m+

dire matrix
#

4 set its 100% worth

#

1 overall ilvl like

#

np

uneven mason
dire matrix
#

no

#

its literally enabling your talent

#

when ur ip drops off

compact jackal
dire matrix
#

and your ip drops off all the time in high keys

#

i can upload a log with a graph of ip uptime to demonstrate

#

but also cba

warm plinth
#

4pc is strong idk what you all are talking about

craggy pilot
#

whats the deal with Arcane Bash in AV 🤔 do we pop defensive for it or just stunnable?

dire matrix
#

ghash means the doubters

#

not me

toxic pewter
#

Honestly the best part of 4pc is it literally casts ignore pains you can then build on top of as you do damage

trim hill
#

If your IP ain’t dropping you aren’t pulling enough

craggy pilot
#

oh didnt know it was a frontal

dire matrix
craggy pilot
#

fuck me 🤣

compact jackal
dire matrix
#

obs the big gap is waiting

#

23 sbg

#

thats just the start

#

first 8 mins

uneven mason
dire matrix
#

but yeah u can see IP is dropping

#

4 set will make that all the time

#

so im losing talent effectiveness

#

for not having 4 set

hello fellow tank warriors. Was wondering if i ask here for a prot question/log review or just in general log-review?

dire matrix
#

im not like the best warrior

uneven mason
#

Sure

dire matrix
#

but im ok

tulip kelp
#

Wtf, sanguine is back.. wasn't that two weeks ago?

uneven mason
warm plinth
paper raft
#

sure, but do i ask here or channel below😂

dire matrix
#

better example

humble sierra
#

does anyone have any info, on if fang or armor spikes is better

dire matrix
#

tons of tiny drops

uneven mason

anyway

if i shave off the end which is downtime

My co-tank has been having some struggle on surviving the boss. He's assigned on the eggs, me on the adds.
Is there anything we/I are doing wrong in handling the heal absorption? He has 2 healers assigned to him, but its still too much dmg sometimes.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/VwkKCRBxFvg3M2cb
(comp is shit, its a casual guild/for socials)

Was just hoping to get some feedback on general mistakes and/or we need to assign specific healing cds to the debuff.

dire matrix
#

thats 72%

deep spruce
#

Can someone explain quickly how to see how much spell block is doing in wclogs

dire matrix
#

which could be 100% with the 4set

#

seems nice

paper raft
#

pala discord said his shield block was very low% but is that all?

dire matrix
#

like theres a 16s gap

#

which is movement

deep spruce
#

like, how much it is blocking

dire matrix
#

shield block should be 100%

#

while tanking

compact jackal
#

This is 78% without 4pc.

dire matrix
#

unless its a mob that doesnt auto for shit

compact jackal
#

Because our 4pc is 5% leech, it's not exactly a damage buff

dire matrix
#

4pc gets better the higher key cuz ur ip falls off more rapidly

#

to keep up ur talent

#

idr the name

#

the 15% dmg to ip

toxic pewter
#

Brutal vitality

dire matrix
#

i wouldnt drop 50 ilvls for it

#

like im not gonna run LFR tier

compact jackal
#

telling him to take a 20 ilvl dip for lfr gloves for 5% leech that isn't even necessary is a bit much

dire matrix
#

20 on one slot

#

being hands

#

not chest

toxic pewter
#

Gloves also very low statted item anyway to be honest

#

Yeah

compact jackal
#

on hands, where he has good stats on them to begin with

#

to a 20 ilvl decrease with bad stats

dire matrix
#

stats dont matter that much

#

if your 3 best ilvl peices are also tier

#

and your dropping 1 slot its kinda worth

compact jackal
#

Or he can just catalyze it next week and not waste his vault?

deep spruce
#

Does spellblock do ANYTHING on kurog mythic?

dire matrix
#

blocks spells

#

and probably

compact jackal
dire matrix
#

thats spell reflect sir

compact jackal
#

er

deep spruce
toxic gyro
compact jackal
#

that's actually a good question

dire matrix
#

i imagine the frontal is a spell?

#

so is the add frontal

#

the soaks

#

the aoe ice dmg

compact jackal
#

the issue is Whim that it's elemental damage

deep spruce
#

yeah fair

compact jackal
#

it's its own damage type

#

does SR/SB do anything on that?

dire matrix
#

can find out on logs

uneven mason
compact jackal
#

it does nothing for DKs for death strike

paper raft
deep spruce
dire matrix
#

look for warriors running spellblock

#

and when they press it

#

compare it with dmg taken at that time

hardy ridge
#

Check pins, sense made a sheet that shows what u can reflect, block and spell block

paper raft
dire matrix
#

also that

uneven mason
deep spruce
dire matrix
hardy ridge
compact jackal
# dire matrix

makes it even weirder than DKs don't get anything for death strike off the dot

sick sentinel

HUGE reputation gains to be had this week

dire matrix

it blocks the frontal

Blue yes is spell blockable

jagged ferry

Thoughts on taking ring over 421 tier?

compact jackal
#

Yes.

jagged ferry
#

If I have mythic eranog on farm

jagged pier
dire matrix
#

depends what tier you have and if your guild will give you the ring

paper raft
#

both would be nice, ic an give the summary to my raid leader

jagged ferry
#

Ring will be free roll and I have only normal tier

paper raft

just trying to help our guild on prog

uneven mason

how does that make sense :( i cant seem to be able to fix it

dire matrix

free roll o

3 healers total, was 2-3-7 yday

compact jackal
#

What class is the co-tank?

jagged pier
#

i had to take a double take cause there was a log pretty much identical to this earlier

#

i thought it was the same person

dire matrix
#

the hands thing i didnt know it was a vault choice

#

i thought it was just equipping vs not

uneven mason
jagged pier
#

nah the guy earlier

#

killed the boss

paper raft
dire matrix
#

SB all the time

#

very important!

compact jackal
#

OK, let me guess

#

you say struggling to survive

jagged pier
compact jackal
#

without opening hte logs

#

Eggs 3->4 movement, 8-9 and 9-10 movement?

paper raft
#

im shit at reading logs

compact jackal
#

and I guess 6->7

#

how close am I on where the co-tank dies?

dire matrix
#

3-4 was rough for me on prog

mighty valley
#

60% blocked hits on adds or boss with this talent build is pretty inexcusable

paper raft
#

variable, we had liek 20 pulls yday iirc

dire matrix
#

i say prog it was like not many pulls

#

i just had to get an external ( i was a vdh)

#

it is not rough for me on warrior dont flame me ty

dire matrix
#

@ me when ur weapon isnt blue

#

🤮

My weapon is epic tyvm

It is a huge 402 ilevel

arctic marten
#

Which one should I choose from vault, between the 421 Melandrus ring, 408 Diurna ring, or 421 avoidance shield?

compact jackal
#

he shouldn't die there

dire matrix
#

what shield do you have

dire matrix
#

its either shield or cos ring

#

depending

arctic marten
dire matrix
#

rings?

paper raft
dire matrix
#

somehwat

#

it has leeway tho

uneven mason
#

Tbh go shield then open vault as arms until next season

dire matrix
#

in heroic at least

arctic marten
dire matrix
#

shield ig

jagged pier
# paper raft i play pala myself, my cotank is prot warrior and handling the boss

alot of this will tie together in a circle kinda so imma do point but they all relate to each other with his talents he should have 90% + blocked hits hes around 65% which means hes not tracking shield block not using it properly,
like he cast SB 15 times on this one attempt im looking 15 times in 4 mins. that terrible, he could also be turning his back to the boss when moving so he has to watch out for that as well.
the other huge issue is that he literally just isnt pressing the right buttons at the right time so his top cast is TC where it should Shield slam, his casts are even lower than they should be so hes missing out on a tone of rage like a tone, and hes not using it correctly, hes only spending on IP where he should be spending it on IP and SS. in terms of other casts hes not using his cds at all like 1 cast of SC in 4:30 mins that need to be used on cd in talents same with demo and rav and avatar etc etc

compact jackal
dire matrix
#

u already got melandrus

arctic marten
compact jackal
#

Do you have a spark available/embellishment slot open?

arctic marten
#

Sure

jagged pier
dire matrix
#

frostfire belt ftw

jagged pier
#

for context

uneven mason
compact jackal
#

Do a normal sim with all vault items, and then also do a gear compare with unstable frostfire belt @ 405 + the ring

#

odds are very likely belt+diurna is actually the play

dire matrix
#

or 418 if u can make that

compact jackal
#

the 405 is just so it doesn't skew a gear compare

dire matrix
#

o

#

for effect

#

u righturight

compact jackal
#

since he has a405 on now yeah

paper raft
#

haha im not too sure if i can make him come here, but i can forward the details and your feedback towards my raidleader at least

dire matrix
#

yeyeye

#

just small braining

uneven mason
#

Did this dude reroll warrior from a BRM?

dire matrix
#

youch

#

tosic

paper raft
#

warrior is a bit busy irl so might not have free extra time to review logs

uneven mason
#

It's a honest question actually

dire matrix
#

tell him to keep SB up all the time

jagged pier
#

i mean TDLR is, pay attention to SB, press everything on CD, and press revenge more

paper raft
#

naa, hes started prot this season, idk if he has tanked before

compact jackal
#

I also keep this handy

dire matrix
#

that is the tldr

compact jackal
#

it's a much safer route for the tank

uneven mason
#

Like we're seeing a lot of people swapping tank specs to warrior

dire matrix
#

i was dh

mighty valley
#

do you have logs from other fights? wondering if this guy legit doesn't know how he should be playing or if he's just overwhelmed on broodkeeper and getting distracted

uneven mason
#

And just not understanding how the spec functions

compact jackal
#

3->4 6->7 and 8->9 are the only risky moves

dire matrix
#

brood is kinda the only hard fight to tank going in heroic imo

dire matrix
#

cuz u need to have the movement down

uneven mason
#

Press your fucking buttons

compact jackal
mighty valley
#

right, that's why i want to see other fights

compact jackal
mighty valley
#

like, does this guy know what to do on terros

#

or does he just need prot warrior school

paper raft
#

i have old logs from previous fights, but we pretty much oneshot first 4/5 bosses normally with no deaths

mighty valley
#

we can still see if he's got his priorities right on easy fights

paper raft
#

dathea we had 1 bad night, but 2shot it last time. overall no dying issues, just dmg is quite low with him vs me

dire matrix
#

doesnt matter about if u died or killed

#

just want to see what buttons he pressed

paper raft
#

sec, let me check

dire matrix
#

u dont need to press SB on the early fights to live

#

unless ur low geared

(you should)

havent took them on warrior

compact jackal
#

it's scarier than anything broodkeeper does

mighty valley
#

his fury play is pretty bad too, looks like guy just needs overall world of warcraft coaching

plush tendon
#

naw, he had pizza bagels in the oven he had to get

paper raft
#

i mean, i dont want too be too technical/harsh on him , hes has played prot a few weeks now and not years like yourselvses most likely.
im sure there is a lot to improve on, but in general, its just his dmg is low/sb uptime? dmg wasnt a problem on earlier bosses but on brood hes dying too often to make prog atm

mighty valley
#

if he's going to work on one thing it's sb uptime

dire matrix
#

ive played prot for 16 days

#

dont say im a prot main

mighty valley
#

if he's gonna work on a second thing it's prioritizing casts correctly (ss > tc > revenge in st)

compact jackal
#

it's not, but it's a simple way to treat it

strong forum
#

but its wrong

#

its way more than that

#

because of brutal vit

#

in actual keys you will lose IP

dire matrix
#

as i posted earlier

strong forum
#

so constantly applying IP every second

#

which then enables brutal vit

dire matrix
#

its like more than 5%

strong forum
#

is quite large value

dire matrix
#

its 20% sometimes

#

and 5% soemtimes

#

kind of

compact jackal
#

and it's also a damage increase, yes

#

not having to IP means you then can use revenge

strong forum
#

if the initial absorb vanishes instantly BrV cant activate

dire matrix

i wish i topped my IP from my dmg

just need 500k dps np

what else comes presocketed when it comes to lariat, im guessing just neck and ring

dire matrix
#

ring and neck

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

my assumption is you can only have 1 crafted ring on

#

cuz, you could have 4 sockets that way

mighty valley
#

if timer isn't insanely tight at the end of nokhud, it's not embarrassing to CC a couple of the adds and burn the others down first

#

or bring a dk for abom limb

warm plinth
#

4 sockets? Wdym

mighty valley
#

to make it trivial

sick sentinel
#

you'd have 2 for the each ring, and then lariat is 2 + mainstat gem

#

so thats 3 sparks for 4 lariat connected gems

warm plinth
#

But there's no reason to have more lariat gems for the sake of having them

strong forum
#

amount of gems doesnt affect lariat procs

if thats what youre after

how do u get 2 sockets on rings

so, what should my second main embellishment be then? i probably cant go fire ring cuz i doubt i'll raid + i crafted food belt today, shield is what im specced into, but i have a 405 shield now

amber ivy

Im currently using rumbling ruby and hunger of the pack

idk about that actually

i think seed is better than granyths, but still pretty meh

i already have 389 bracers of versa

strong forum

whatever you find coolest

embellishments are incredibly minor

any will do

amber ivy
#

i like the food persist through death one if you can afford it

dire matrix
#

thats not an embellish

amber ivy
#

its just convenient though

strong forum
#

that one doesnt cost an embellish slot

#

its "free"

amber ivy
#

huh. i didnt know that

sick sentinel
#

what about the ring with some weird effect

strong forum
#

i think once everybody has full tierset, people will start stacking the chest

#

cuz that one gives the entire group 200 vers when it procs

sick sentinel
#

take you back to a place you know or somethin long cd, counts as embellished?

dire matrix
#

it says on the item at the top if it does

amber ivy
#

how about this then. a 415 strike twice, or a 415 crafted obsidian seared slicer with fang adornments?

dire matrix
#

you can have a different embellish

#

so its so worth to go strike

#

belt is nice if u get the ring

amber ivy
#

oh true. the only downside is i cant pick the stats on the strike twice

mighty valley
#

stats barely matter

dire matrix
#

stats almost dont matter

mighty valley
#

strike twice proc is basically free

dire matrix
#

on weapons its pretty low amounts also

mighty valley
#

there's basically no reason to not get the belt embellishment tbh, since they're all basically the same value and it leaves you open in case you do find the fire ring

sick sentinel
#

how many hit points is explosive orbs now

dire matrix
#

1 hit from everything hp i think?

sick sentinel
#

like, 500, 1,000?

dmg proc embellishments are around 400-600 dps

#

stat embellishments offer ~1% of a stat on average

sick sentinel

yaaaaa explosive can be a real fast key killer lol

explosive can be 1shot by everything except vdh throw glaive sometimes

just one of those, ah, we died, things

ofc cuz fuck vdh

fang adornment did about 0.9 percent of my damage in a +11 nokhud overall

so within the 1% range

ya. does anyone have stats on a strike twice?

is there a guide regarding which items to craft 418 on an alt warrior that we just started playing ?

shield or wep

preferably shield

then lariat or other embellishments

runic cosmos

the guide says the pants are bait

I would def take tier piece here right? would give me 3/5

blazing condor

id take it but depends what you got already

Well, you cant craft to 418 if he just started the alt. Need that big boi infusion. But wep/shield. Belt is good too

Pants are a bait tho.. pretty bad

shield or belt you think is better?

if both are same ilvl

is the phial of eye buff perma until you get out of combat?

It's as good as any other embellishment.

None of the other embellishs give you more dmg

I’m keeping it just due to the fact that I have both the rings that proc from fire damage

That's omega bis then

I mean.. If you have the rings, then def belt 100%

for reference, I meant belt without rings vs lariat

Oh yeah, I already have the belt I was just curious why it’s good on it’s own

For vault should i open it as arms/fury for a chance at 421 whetstone and 421 boon (boon for weeklies, and whetstone for all keys) or open as prot for chance at upgrading main hand from 415 to 421? Got 2 mythic raid slots and 3 +20 slots

That's for you to decide

2 PPM @ 12s is 24/60 or 0.4 = 40%

I usually do fury. Arms has a chance for 2h weps, which i dont want ;D

Overlaps of procs cause lower uptime
