You just pull a bunch in the first area, a couple extra packs in the twins area, and the 2 minibosses at the end

wheat zenith
#

Thanks, so I guess I wont pick that hoof(have to farm whet)

sick sentinel
#

...........

#

that doesn't change that how it works is total jank......

onyx pike
#

u guys think the hoof trinket is worht it on 421?

#

got a shitty vault today. sadge

#

I'd be running hoof/ruby then

#

or take shoulders (off pcs) to turn it into set

sick sentinel
#

like, if i had to make trinket tier list, i would place it as an A and no more

#

it has haste, and it does damage, fire damage even too i think if you have rings, what more could you want!

#

its no S, dmg value is too low and takes too long to get started

daring marlin
#

Hoof owns

#

Definitely top 3 trinket idk what you're saying

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

im never placing that before whetstone, ruby, alltotem, boss 1 flame wreath thing, grief and others

crimson furnace
#

I got the ruby whelp today at 421, was the best option out of a total of 6 -- have it maxxed at 6 with the ST damage and at the end of the dungeon I had ST dmg and Lobbing fire Nova as well, for a total of 6M dmg, almost as much as my 405 windscar (the 473 strenght is welcomed as well)

#

blazebinder?

daring marlin
#

Yeah

inland raft
#

usually only tank m+ and dont raid, on broodkeeper is there a certain time adds spawn and location or just random?

buoyant narwhal
#

That fire proc absorb ring is poo compared to the fire proc damage ring i imagine? Thinking about taking the gloves as current gloves are 398, ring Sims better but thats because i got a bad ring but feels weird to take the absorb over potentially getting the fire damage one eventually

sick sentinel
#

those trinkets i listed + a few i forgor are literal S and S +++ trinkets

glacial ivy
#

Hello everyone, does anyone know if our blizzard in game io is also transfered if we transfer our charachter to diffrent realm?

noooo blazbinder 420 haste trinket is S+++++++ only for the meme factor

craggy pilot

i have static circle for when im in combat

daring marlin
#

What are you even saying

craggy pilot
sick sentinel
#

its strong, but no god dman way i put it as S trinket

warm plinth

Did I just read an ebay review

Hi guys, i need bit of help with my vault, i can choose between ruby whelp shell 415 or boots 415, i currently have 395 boots and my trinkets are 395 Blazebinder and 398 Seed, what do u think is a better pick?

warm plinth

Wondering if its worth swapping to Sudden Death in high tyran keys

#

Hey, I know this may sound pretty noobish, but what do you guys do about explosives in meelee?

craggy pilot
#

i had it proc 18 times in Enha shaman, for something like 2mil dmg at 408

#

over 40 minutes

warm plinth

#

Feels like bosses live forever on 22-23s

craggy pilot
lone eagle
#

And my ST dps feels like poopy at that key level

buoyant narwhal
#

Absorb ring from Brood or 411 tier gloves? (gloves would give me 3p). Ilvl upgrade is roughly the same over both current slots

crimson furnace
#

ring!

#

Ring harder to get but 405 also not particularly exciting

warm plinth

I wonder if VDH can actually 1-shot explosives with throw glaive this season 😂

teal crown

sick sentinel
#

why not 411 hands

that seems good to me

DH sometimes is really solid melee dps pick

warm plinth

Lot of bad ones out there sadly

its for when u want the dps a rogue has and nothing else

i mean, all DH has to do for me is stay alive and hit eye beam or whatever they do

warm plinth
#

I won't play havoc again until they remove fel rush from the rotation

#

It's fuckin dumb

sick sentinel
#

DH last i played it was late SL tank mode

#

no fuckin idea if it was before or after DF talents

#

they are fun is what im saying

warm plinth
#

yogi

#

you playing intimidating shout yet

sick sentinel
#

after NOT GUD 12 final boss adds phase

#

i broke the CC and interrupted, because, i figured, this must be the correct way, we kill the adds and EZ

#

i may reconsider int'ing shout

crimson furnace
#

new update to the WA, jsut noticed that it has the 3 targets as well there

odd tree
#

na

warm plinth
#

yeah, just deciding if I care about the gold or if I just wanna use 1 for rogue and 1 for war

fallen pulsar
#

Is there any prot warrior specific tips to make the add phase of nokhud last boss smoother? Feels like my healer always gets sniped by the casters or I run out interrupts and then they cast down the healer anyhow. Obviously interrupting more as a group/long CC like poly would help, but say I’m pugging and can’t trust the hunter to understand how to count let alone to frost trap an add.

sick sentinel
#

its the problem that hitting intimidating 100 times, 97 times it goes right and they don't run away

#

its the 3 times they do manage to, and do some BS

#

and i'd just rather not have the gamble entirely

warm plinth
fallen pulsar
#

Rip

warm plinth
#

Play BDK and use grippy arms :kekw

fallen pulsar
tacit gorge
#

should i sim or what would u do?

sick sentinel
#

i just figure, how is it, between 5 players, not 1 is going to have a secondary non stun CC cd

#

or, better yet, interupts and shit

fallen pulsar
#

I mean, pugs are a hilarious bunch even on 18s

sick sentinel
#

and then so im prioritizing intimidating shout extremely lowly based on that i could possibly invite

fallen pulsar
#

The evoker healer as an example complained about lack of interrupts but never used their interrupt

daring marlin
fallen pulsar
#

Yeah, I’m considering that as well for nokhud, but dunno what talent to drop, I guess show of force/the execute choice node

daring marlin
#

AoE kick is a godsend. I use it often.

sick sentinel
#

get a DK with grabby arms

warm plinth
#

Your mom's a DK with grabby arms

#

gottem

#

You guys wanna know what's weird

#

I can't hear out of one of my ears rn

#

It's bizarre

#

I have an ear infection btw; I didn't go deaf. But I wanted to share this random tidbit

sullen flame
#

It's a good dungeon for slappy hands, interrupting shout, and wailing arrow. Don't run that place with 2+ ranged interrupts and it will go smoothly.

Hunters can also pre-trap the very far add and kick in the other one pretty easily. Just removing one add helps immensely.

uneven mason
#

Wtb a talent that lets us grab 1 npc by the leg and smash them into their friends as an interrupt

brave jungle
#

What would you choose? Finger is with Leech btw

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

its about if you are in a group of Norman the normies x 5 x you are all pugs, everyone has to CONNECT WITH A SEPLL LOCK OUT THINGY

#

and then get in position that the mob will run to tank, and group

sick sentinel
#

and then you can simulate DK grabby hands budget edition

lofty widget

sick sentinel

i don't know what other item i want, but rings is looking good possibly, just something with a dps embellishment and haste

warm plinth

People should be happy

#

They finally gave us tinkers 😏

sick sentinel
#

wrong, tinker creates a garage that makes like, 20 adds

#

has goblin rockets and bunch of other stuff, i remember it all from wc3

indigo gulch

if have to choose between intimidating shout and storm bolt? which will be better

fallen pulsar

I honestly dunno what to make with 4th spark lol, don’t need another embellished item, I guess I’ll just farm out 10 more of the mythic essence and look at what my lowest ilvl slot is

sick sentinel

Not sure how good the set bonus is (pretty good I see) but is the upgrade worth more? Can also get tier set leggos. ( +4 ilvl, better stats)

blazing condor

not worth to lose 2 set

#

catalyst will be out soon(tm) though

icy bane
#

Ye id just take them to catalyst next week

warm plinth
#

Fun fact you can add the tm icon by just typing :tm: Soon™️

sick sentinel

but, thats what i want mostly, is 2 sets, a set that is haste + versa and set that is haste + crit, and i wouldn't give a shit about mastery too much

blazing condor
#

"tm" these nuts™️

sick sentinel
#

dragon deez nuts, how soon we forget

gusty crane
#

Is anyone knowledgable about embellishments

icy bane
#

If you have raid rings, frostfire belt

#

If not, all embellishments are around 1% damage so it’s preference

gusty crane
#

I already have that one, but at 405

#

and in the vault I got a 421

dire matrix
#

you can do the alt code too

gusty crane
#

so Im looking to replace it until I can upgrade later

gusty crane
#

So I have the elemental lariat already, and was thinking of getting the armor spikes, but I realized I dont have armor crafted to put it on, only a 1H wep and a ring...... :<

#

So now I have to either get some other embelishment or just wait for another spark I guess

sick sentinel
#

is neck a hard spot to get a good haste neck

#

is thats also big reason so many lariat

unreal sage
#

Do you think fire absorb ring is ok? Have Best sim on it So im going to take it anyway but im curious if that absorb is big deal?

sick sentinel

Shield is your best defensive stat stick, should prio craft shield if you’ve been unlucky with drops

sick sentinel

thats been very handy

It wasn't patched. It just got changed/got bugged and they never fixed it or told us it was changed.

modern brook
#

honestly just AA the ones close to the pull that you can hit safely and let your healer deal with the ranged stuff

when he inevitably fails you hthrow comes in clutch

or, better idea, pull everything in the AA tree area at once, tell your rogue hes on orb duty and let the DH and Boomkin pump

Hi fellow chads, new to tanking and prot. Is it ok to come out of defensive stance and pop some cds on mobs ? Or should I focus on staying healthy

modern brook
#

you should ideally be in bstance for as long as you arent taking damage

#

consider D stance a cooldown

the cost being damage instead of an actual cd
