Hid his name cause I don't wanna out the guy anywhere but it just blows my mind
And he only died once, cause he stood in a swirly
I honestly expected him to have super high IP uptime but it's still under like 70%
Imagine having more uptime on Shield Wall than Shield Block
RIGHT?
He did spike a lot though
rage capper?
He wasted some but not a crazy amount
or what am i looking at here, assuming HP or rage
is the guild interface/chat broken in game? Mine doesn't come up at all
He wasted like...400 or 500 rage over the course of the dungeon
he needs to hit all of his rage generating abilities, and spend rage on SB or IP or revenge
explain how this works with anger mastery to give him more avatars and more SW's
If you don't have SB up, your IP gets mulched kinda fast to melees
Considering his lack of fundamental knowledge, I doubt this guy cares. Besides, this log is like third hand. No one is gonna do anything with feedback anyway 😂
This was a key that the guy who shared the log was watching his friend do so it's not like he's gonna pass on the feedback I'd imagine
Yeah I need to specify I don't have contact with the guy - I purely have come here to try and figure out how the fuck he lived without dedicated healer support
like my friend is a disc priest, he ain't gonna be tank healing and honestly he said he didn't really need to
idk, probably sat in dstance (jumping into this convo late)
You simply CD the scary hits and the rest gets taken care of
I haven't looked at the log, but that's the basic
That'd be low af even without TL
I mean, depending on how you play, that just sort of.. happens?
Sure, if you play shitty, it happens. If you play properly, it doesn't.
if hes hitting NO OTHER BUTTONS at all, he should be hitting shield slam, thunderclap (revenge if nothing is killing him) SB for melee, ip for magic (fire shadow, bleed? etc)
charge when he can
I'm thinking since most of the bosses don't really auto much in AV, he could just be getting carried by the fact that it's tyr this week
like on a fort week you just fall over with these buff uptimes
He got pretty hard carried by Immovable Object and Shield Wall too
oh, he's one of those guys
You know what, you've inspired me to try running a dungeon with no Shield Block uptime, just to experience it
I just looked at this picture. Holy actual fuck that's a lot of wasted rage
i just downloaded a WA that tells me when an incoming cast is reflectable. are there any major spell reflect baits i should be aware of? of just reflect on cd

You think you do, but you don't
You think that you want this, and I think maybe that you do
J. Allen Brack, President of Blizzard Entertainment
#Blizzcon2019 #Blizzcon #Blizzard
YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT
you think you do, but you dont
Just reflect on CD if magic is happening. There's a few boss mechanics that you should use it on but there's not a huge amount of conflict.
Maybe that was this guys goal too
Also I just noticed he's using immovable object
what
ty
are we always meant to wait for avatar to be up before using ravager/thunderous roar?
Yeah that's what I'm saying; he's getting carried
No, just send it
he's some new form of gigachad
ok ty
unseen specimen
If it's a few seconds then you can hold it but generally it's not worth holding
Unless there's a burst phase coming up or something
Ok well I appreciate you guys showing me I'm not fucking crazy
I wish this man the best of luck in his future M+ endeavors - how short they may be

Ok I know that convo kinda wrapped up but I went to look at stance uptime
BRO DIDN'T HAVE A STANCE ON
WHOLE DUNGEON
Nah you can't judge that
Stances don't show up in logs unless you cast the Stance during the log
Yeah the first time I saw a log like that, I thought the same thing. But then realized that no logs were showing it. Or they'd randomly show a stance halfway through.
I just don't think the combat log reports your stance unless it sees an actual cast event, so the log has no way of knowing which one was active. You'd think it would show as a buff but 🤷
Blizz spaghetti code
anyone else wish they'd increase duration of the 2 piece Vanguard's Determination? 5 secs feels a little short and sometimes I feel like I have to revenge even though it may not be optimal
yeah that actually makes sense to me, I was thinking they look for the buff being added/removed
Then don't revenge, you don
you don't need 100% uptime on it
4 with 20%+ Haste
5 would require 50%+ I think
Welp, here you go. Zero Shield Block uptime: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/a:KWPF7Gqnxhjd1HDN#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=3
Couldn't even feel a difference
you are fake news
Shield Charge gives Revenge, though. Too much value there
we demand true 0% sb uptime
in phase 3 of raszagath when you get the blue and red marks, does heroic leap trigger the red and blue hitting each other if you heroic leap over?
What routes, or what's the best way to get hella more time in HoV? Seeing some people 2 key 21s/22s
lmao these hov nerfs
God-King Skovald
Is now less verbose when stating his claim to the Aegis of Aggramar.
this is actually a warcrime, i want somebodies head on a stick.
I mean...it's a +9
Other guy did a +17 lol
sir this is a +9 at 413 ilvl
what? glacial fury is the worst phial for st because it requires new targets to hit for stacks
i woukd say versa
why does everyone with top parses use it hmm
and no you don't need a new target for glacial to work
for stacks
it works better but still like 3% of total damage
Phial of Glacial Fury
Embracing the inner snowstorm. Dealing damage has a chance to unleash a blast of 1687 Frost damage split between nearby enemies, increased by 15% per stack of Glacial Fury. Stacks of Glacial Fury are gained by attacking new targets.
great for bosses with fresh mobs to hit, kinda meh on terros for example
i understand but from a damage perspective it still seems to be the highest damage
this is simmable fwiw
i can imagine that even on low target fights it might be better than like, tepid vers anyway, just since tanks generally get better dmg out of flat damage procs than secondary buffs
i figured it had to due with our high haste
there's also just not a lot of true st fights in this raid
i figured that people are using it because its best overall via trash and bosses with adds/fresh mobs to gain stacks that its not worth swapping to vers or elemental chaos for the 1 boss is meh on
i doubt anyone's optimizing trash damage but yeah, it's also not like many guilds are hard stuck on terros
i would normally agree but when everyone in top 20 damage parses had it I figured it had to just be the best dmg
as in put multiple phialsd on for raid not not optimizing per boss fight
Any of you gamers have a screenshot for heroic brood egg route?
literal top parses typically come from tanks with guilds willing to optimize around them getting that big parse
Thanks guy!
we saw a lot of really sus prot warriors in the top parses in SL just because it matters more that your guild is warping their strat around your damage output
what are the best items to upgrade with valor?
pi and wft for the tank group
weapon for damage, shield for defensive, trinkets
Big dan
ty
no
someone linked it to guild discord and it worked perfect
not sure where it came from tbh
kk thanks again!
sure, but you think they would also use what was best
(for damage)
It does dam
i also have the item to upgrade the crafted shield, i was wondering would it be worth doing the upgrade on the item?
wait for ur vault first tbh
would u pref that ring just for max dps, or even on ur highest keys ?
Aight so Lobbying FIre Nova on Rank 6 does like 2.5% Overall...
Do I try training Haste?
Uhh, fire nova?
From the Ruby Welp Shell
Oh gotcha
I guess that hype was bait :D
;D
The trinket is bugged
Source
For some reason it has a very very low proc chance during the first minute of combat
the autoattack damage is pure upside, this ring is just better than normal rings at same ilvl
That's why it performs so shit in keys compared to what sims say it should
i have still the cobald ring 389 on that slot. because i like the absorb. do u think its wassted to have that absorb and i should wear that ring instead ?
i don't rate the absorb very highly, if i'm gonna wear a cobalt ring it's gonna be the dps one
what's your other ring?
So is Ruby Whelp Shell not worth using then if its bugged? Just got it and trying to figure if its worth it, and if so, which proc .
Idk, your call. I'm just sharing what I've been told
The best proc is the ST one though
Good riddance
I am glad they got rid of the rp
so what does the RP entail now?
is their a talent we can use to counter the claw ability on wolf in HoV
@sand pebble it did less than 2% of my damage for a while dungeon
dsiregard
Yes, it's the patch 10.0.5 ability
intervene
🙂
Intervene is for Scent of Blood
I thought you were talking about the wolf trash
Claw Frenzy is a group soak
It does more dam than intim shout but yes you can drop for utility
so dumb question maybe but, how yall feel about the BV and fueled by violence talents. I been feeling like fueled could be something in the future
like it did 8.4% of my dps in a key which was 3.24m which i would of healer 85 percent of it. Ignore pain did 8m
with talents
You would heal 15% of that*
Brutal Vitality is the play. Even moreso if you have the 4pc tier set, which everyone will before too long.
fbv only works when you have taken damage, it does no overhealing and cant crit
bv is pretty awesome esp with tier
Me the 3p enjoyer 
4 weeks
Now ill get it in my vault 
Downside of being on the most commonly played tier set 
Every group is 50% our tier or more
hello guys quick prot question , is Shield of the Hearth worth crafting over a normal one which is called primal molten defender
Takes up a embellishments slot
most played, 4 classes including 2 tank and 2 heal specs, I wonder if they played drunk darts or something
Warrior rogue monk envoker
@onyx vessel i know so is it worth it or ur saying there are better embalishements ?
Monk tank isnt super common nor is healing monk
Yeah
Reflect helm from pvp frostfire belt if you have fire rings from raid
Lariat
ok so i craft the normal shield then i suppose ?
It is a good shield tho
depends how often does it proc
I would just craft normal shield if your rich or do alot of keys the alch embellishment doesnt use a slot
100k+ for it tho
is that the potion one or the food buff one
Makes food buff last 2hrs and dont lose it on death
Yeah hence its over 100k
alotta gold
So is crafting gear alloys 1.2k
i just bought rank 2 ones they are around 600 gold
primal molten alloys i need 15 for the shield
too much gold for rank 3 fuck that , also if ur skill is high enough rank 2 should be enough i think
i just did a hov. and the healer was very sure a prot warrior can do an ability that stops claw frenzy
or do we leap out before it and take the hit by our selfs?
Going for max quality is bait anyway
There is nothing we can do to stop Claw Frenzy. Like you technically can have everyone out before the mechanic and kite away from him and it'll miss, but it's not even remotely realistic to do it in real play.
You'd spend half the fight not touching the boss
Nope. The only mechanic we can "stop" is Scent of Blood with Intervene.

Me who wastes 10k on recraft to hit same quality

You're increasing the chance of a proc but you're better off just finding someone who'll do free recrafts and just slam some cheap recrafts until it procs
The difference isn't huge
im sure this has been asked but are we going to be ok after the nerf? XD or do i need to go back to pally
ok and 1 more dumb ass question probably. second boss in hov, when shield of light is casted, does the damage increase each time its cast?
No
We are going to be fine.
i didnt think so reading it, but one of those super knowledgeable people were like its gonna be like 20% less reduction

kek
i mean he did something similar with the monk haha
math big hard
Agreed.
hi Mwahi ily
I'm doing okay. Hopefully a good night at work tonight 
Looking forward to patch tomorrow 
First boss of AV.... Any tips for picking up all the adds?
Hold some CD's if needed / Shocking Disclosure pot / AoE taunt.
Don't use them all at once obviously.
You can also AoE stun as they spawn to make it slightly easier.
Heroic raid loot quest tomorrow?
@wintry anvil make sure the groups moves up to the Boss so you eighter can masstaunt or aggro trash with ravenger dragon roar and so on.
Thanks! issue is, when they do that, they kept getting stomped on 😦
Idk but the stomp is doing dmg to the group if im Not missing something , they get dmg from it regardless of their Position. Or is this the small aoe around the Boss ? If so then weil its not ur fault
Long as i only overcap during cd bursts, such as pull, thats considered fine right?
I do leap with bonus into a pack, spamming revenge while i rush and tclap the opposite side and come back and aoe taunt into more tclaps.
For 2nd I do the same minus aoe taunt and put up ravager early instead on the side it looks like most will come from.
there is no achievement when completing all 20s ?
I got all my 418s with r2 materials, just took a try or two, or three with belt
You should attempt to not overcap at all. Mash your IP button during CDs
The achievement for "20s" is Keystone Hero, which is achieveable with 17s/18s because they didn't raise the score requirement to account for the bonus score after +10. There are still Keystone Hero achievements for each individual dungeon for timing it on +20 that gives the teleport.
I started leveling a warrior, giving into the fotm and I see nerfs on the horizon, but that's ok because I'm having fun.
I was looking over wowhead and the talent "into the fray" is taken over the shield slam/shield block talent. Are you able to maintain 100% on shield block without that talent or does the haste buff make it happen either way?
You should run Heavy Repercussions in keys. Into the Fray is generally played more in raid, though there are high key pushers who run it for some reason even though it's ill-advised..
Interesting. I could be wrong, but the m+ section said to use into the fray as well. I'll look more into it, given your suggestion
It also says to use Barbaric Training iirc which is also a bad idea
The wowhead guide is not up to snuff this season imo
There are builds for both raid and M+ in the pins
Right on, thanks
But it's fairly impossible? Say you charge in, sb, ss, rage already start going up, IP, you throw ravager. Already its diificault to try and get rage down and here comes ava,roar, demo shout and sc. Even if you IP in the middle of it? You're gonna cap. And thats if you pressed no other keys.
And if you delay any? you offsync stuff
What's the average CD on Avatar and Shield Wall with the cdr from anger management and impenetrable wall?
about a minute for shield wall. Not sure about avatar. I've heard people saying its below 45 secs
30-40 for avatar
yeah you gotta IP a lot during your cds not much to do about it
Last stand?
old habit lol
no ravager?
fair enough, i do that at times to
Yea
is that caused by something or just bad luck
just bricked a key cuz of it :/
it happens when you range her too long
is what I've found
so you can really only pull her to the ghost of the storm guy first
any further away risks instant shield
i am playing prot warr for M+, should i open my vault as DPS for trinkets like Whetstone etc?
depends on what you need
offensive or tank trinkets
Uh, i have an all totem which is more of an offensive trinket from what I can see
I don't think tank trinkets have much value in m+
correct me if i'm wrong tho
all totem is bis defensively too
meh idk i like decoration of flame in m+
Its not a def trinket
it's good for starting pulls
pretty easy to get from raid tho
Its a dps trinket
it gives a shield no? it has defensive capabilities
Are we meant to always shield slam for violent outburst procs? is there a certain mob count in mythic+ where we should use thunder clap instead for violent outburst? or always SS for it
1 application of the shield is less than / the same as 1 IP usage
I see
5 targets u can think about tc
ok ty
can anyone else chime in on the hyrja question tho
i've had the instant shield of light only once, when i ranged her a bit long on pull
realisticalyl im probably taking tier if i get it so /shrug
don't forget the catalyst comes out tomorrow too
yup
thats why i got my prot war leveled up
have been healing as prevoker mostly around 2.8k
tanking is a blast tho
quite a bit less stress than healing
Guys q, why top prot m+ wars Are all dwarfs?
racial
the ability to negate the only thing we truly suck at?
up to each and their own i guess.
It's good enough that the top prot wars are all playing it so
Must be important
the only other really strong option is warstomp and arcane torrent, Warrriors dont really need the extra stun from warstomp and also we don't really have rage issues
this makes dwarf stand clearly ahead of the other options
In m planning to do 20+ keys Will it be So important for me being Dwarf? I just started week one And i dont see So many bleed stuff etc but ye dont know
not to mention there are many fights where its out right cracked, Bird boss, tree boss, fenyr, etc
There are a few really nasty bleeds
i wouldn't say it's neccesary no
no it doesnt matter at all
But it's not strictly necessary
RLP 2nd boss is a bleed effect
if you arent pushing world 1sts, it's not a requirement
It’s not worth the money/gold 😁
you need to understand when looking at top 10-20 playrs that they would do anything even if it meant an 0.1% increase
++
I mean Will it make huge diff in 22key fór example if im night elf fem or dwarfo?
yes
Ill not do 27 ofc
it can, entirely depends on the key
eg RLP 2nd boss having stoneskin is gigantic
3rd boss TJS comes to mind
huge diff? No. Noticeable making some fights easier? yes.
removing bleed for AA bird boss is so good
if you also have say an evoker, you can negate the large majority of the hardest tank mechanic on that boss
high level keys
Okay And více versa q Aš Dwarf off spec Arms in fine?
the thing about stoneskin is it brings flexibility, e.g. if your preservation evoker has used cauterize and dilate, you may normally shield wall a savage peck on the bird boss
if youre a dwarf, you now have another oppourtunity to use shield wall instead of that peck as you have stoneskined it
idk about a large majority but you can remove some. It applies every like 16-18 seconds, evoker ability has 1 min CD, dwarf CD is 2 min
it opens up a full rotation rather than having to prayge on healer.
this exactly
some bosses will have a window that would require another CD or spam tank heals, Bird boss being a great one
I see i mean im dwarf from lore i was just curious why So many dwarfs So Its rly good news
youd have to last stand or rally or spam hella IP to survive, but with stoneskin, you now have a smooth rotation for the entire fight that is consistent and reliable
Is there some spread sheet where u can use SS? Like all dungs all mobs/bosses?
pins and/or weakaura that tells you
Dwarf is pretty much the best for every class it can be played as in m+
Cool cool guys ty
Its a very solid racial
not to make light of other racials, Warstomp is great, Berserking and Blood Fury are great
panda bis, cause fluffyness
it just turns out that having an extra stop or more damage is unlikely the difference maker for these pro. teams, where as a dispel can have a larger impact
warstomp is pretty bad cause all it does is drs mobs unnecesarrily
when we have 3-4 stops already
i mean, arguable, if it stops your party from dieing, it's infintely strong
as warrior, it's less strong, for sure
imps in CoS it's ncie to have 3 aoe ints
None of the racials are really that impactful
the best argument against warstomp is that you shouldn't need it if you have a well balanced composition
this
Stoneskin provides a benefit that can't be gained elsewhere
which is what makes it very powerful
Sure, there are dispels for bleeds on some healers, but they have long CDs
didnt someone mention you'd spec out of shockwave or stormbolt (or both, cant remember) if you have like a rogue or smt comp?
I can't imagine speccing out of shockwave in any scenario but stormbolt could be very possible
id also add that the decision to remove those talents is highly dungeon + route specific
yeah feels like it's super situational
i like inspiring on places like NO
or CoS
im fairly new to prot warrior but I have been healing a ton of high keys and I would be pretty shocked if my tank did not have shockwave
that would feel detrimental to my party in 99% of cases
And ye yesterday i tanked 17 academy in 390 gear and it was so good as prot warr
A prot w/o schockwave in a pug is not a prot
i feel like you never take damage if playing correct, regardless of ilvl
tanking like 15 key in 360 ilvl and i feel invincible
other than outside of like, large pulls where a CD is required or boss mechanics/tank busters
I mean i took half hp tbs but victory rush and full and double shield wall And bolster immortal
@solar shadow guess its party comp thing?
what do you mean?
Shockwave
I would argue its a neccessity
often, but not if it would be stun DR'ing all the time
Like, what individual talent provides more of a benefit for 1pt than shockwave in m+
thats the question to ask
I see So many prot wars without it this week on raider io
maybe its a sanguine related thing
Any single point is better than shockwave if you can never cast it during the dungeon
though, that should almost never happen, just in theory 😄
Again it's hard to look at say Nerftank and then extrapolate it to your own play, when he has a team of 4 other pros he has been playing with for 4+ years or whatever
They use very specific strategies and talents to push specific keys that are pushing the barrier of whats possible
generally mapping out every stop and kick before they even drop their keystone
What u think btw about bloodborn talent i want it So much but dont have points for it fór next week Its literály 15 percent overall dmg increase in high packs or somethin like that
sounds like its strong in that scenario
dungeons like NO or AA would benefit from that kind of thing considering their pack size
Since bleeds do like 35 percent of our dmg
bloodborne isn't worth the investment
it depends what you are trading the talent for
like yes, you may be gaining fat AOE DPS but what are you giving up in return
and is that DPS you gain the difference maker in timing the key
I mean with weak bosses u can sacrifice bolster or double shield wall dont know?
bloodborne isn't fat, is the thing
bleeds arent 35 % of our dmg
totally depends on your key stone vs gear level ratio too
an undergeared tank may have to wall in a scenario where an overgeared one can just IP thru it
if youre over gearing content you could run any talents and it wouldn't matter
bloodborne needs 2 points to make it average
@lofty widget im watching details after each dung And my bleeds Always do third of my dmg
which is 2 points too many
I think 30-35% is reasonable no? Thunderous roar, deep wounds, rend
Ye
but two talent points is alot
here's a smb 20 breakdown
should be closer to 20-25, anyways bloodbourne is 1.5 % dps per point
so not worth the investment
SMB not super relevant to his question in this case
He asked about dungeons with large packs
AA, NO, etc
maybe even HOV
However, The only other 2 talent point selection thats taken is Shield Spec, which relatively is wildly stronger than bloodbourne
can people settle something about HoV for me - does intervene work/worth taking for fenrir scent of blood? i've tried it once and it worked, tried it again the same pull and it didnt work
you're either trading off ST damage or surviability for extra bleed damage which I dont think would ever be worth it
I mean next week Is forti and bolster isnt it rly Worth
Did it today, it still works
it's so weird because i definitely intervened a DH and it didn't work
They have to be next to you though
well lets theorycraft it, what talents are you dropping for bloodbourne
So if theyre zipping around they'll outrange
i don't think it's worth it for that one fight tbh but depends on what you're dropping I guess

DH definitely dashed across the boss probably broke range
warlock did not do that
@solar shadow not ať my pc to see talent tree but i would trade boss survability fór it
you mentioned trading off x2 shield wall or the CD reduction, those are just as important for boss survability as they are for trash
especially on fortified
Like double shield wall/impe wall
you cant pull the big packs you want to bloodbourne DPS without shield wall
on fort
if youre taking bloodborne where exactly are you getting points from?
there's not a whole lot of wiggle room in the middle of the tree
Well ye i didnt do forti just my first week but war Feels So strong on mobs
Bleeds should not be doing 35% of your overall damage. Even with Bloodborne.

it's just such a tiny gain per point, dropping two genuinely good talents to get a miniscule aoe dps gain is something you'd only do if there were some dps checks you really needed to make
lets say hypothetically you decide to drop something from the right side, say Punish and Tough as Nails/Spell block
you probably lose DPS just from dropping tough as nails
tough as nails is the same dmg as 2 points in bloodbourne
so yeah, its never worth the investment
@mighty valley if i do 70mil dmg overall And bleeds does 20-25 then 20 percent more Is another 5mil which Is 7-8percent overall dmg
there's no way you drop ravager, or Champions BUlwark, so won't even consider those. Thunderlord is a possibility, and maybe the best choice
SHow of Force is another option, but you have to chose between that or Thunderlord regardless
you're never not running shield charge
And i play show of fórce with that
those are optimistic numbers and still cut it in half for the gain per talent point
with your idea in mind, trading boss durability for DPS, you probably drop 2 of the three
choose 1 -- Thunderlord or Show of Force
2) Punish
You're assuming you're playing perfectly when you're stating these percentages. Percentage gains are meaningless because you're not playing in a vacuum. If I suck at pressing Revenge, then naturally my bleeds are going to show as a higher percentage because I'm doing less of my damage with Revenge.
you lose significant shield slam damage, which is your #1 dmg ability, which negates some of the bloodbourne DPS gain
@mighty valley I dont know Okay i play one week but already did like 40 dungs or 50 dungs And after each i check my bleeds And i do up to 30-35 percent from bleeds ,rend And two dot bleeds
guys
Stoneskin is great
Only way u can say maybe bad rot? I do around 35k overall dps with 395ilvl
DOT HURTS GET IT OFF. ALSO DWARVES ARE CUTE
darkiron cause flamebeards are cool
dwarves being cute 
think reg dwarf is more dmg tho, not that it matters
Do you guys know what can really tell you if it's worth playing Bloodborne or not
Unfortuantely there isn't too much room in the prot tree to wiggle around
If you sim it
I don't trust the numbers, I can feel it out 
Id imagine there is definitely some breakpoint of targets where bloodbourne pulls ahead
Bloodborne 50% DPS increase 
but its not worth the loss of utility/very niche
and chances are, you aren't constantly bashing on 8-10 targets even in dungeons like AA/NO
EXHIBIT A
are you rp'ing as a peacock
you could drop Indomitable and Punish
@solar shadow im bashing max 5 this week since pugs can't do explo, i do keys around 17-18 im checking details each dung end And my bleeds Always 30-35
theres not a single peacock in that picture
that makes sense yeah, in theory youre totally on the money with Bloodbourne being a large increase to your bleed damage
@solar shadow rest Is simple math in my head Its 7-8 dps Inc with two points
I am not convinced it's worth dropping 2 talents that provide more overall utility AND some damage too
Again, percentages are not worth anything when you're attempting to compare things.
youre assuming you have perfect play. which you probably dont
At the end of the day, you are there to tank things, you have DPS to to DPS
that sun flower and awful mog is definite peacock
You're playing wrong if bleeds do that much damage. You should link a log for some pointers instead of arguing for a bad talent
cant't convince me otherwise
your survability has much higher value than your DPS
Even with Bloodborne, your bleeds should not be doing 30-35% of your damage.
Which means you are doing something wrong.
i think that's without btw
lets say, hypothetically those surviability talents allows you to chain 1 extra pack or do a double pull you couldnt without t hem, well, you just lost all the extra time you gained from your bloodbourne DPS
Is it only me or Do the bird boss in academy slap like a train
the other bosses dont even move my hp, that bleed is dumb
He does indeed
he do be birdin
Birds in DF stronger than the dragons
only fun boss in the rotation
definitely feel like my butt is gaping after that boss
can confirm
No one mistake and you are dead
idk bird is actually quite boring. Getting hit hard doesn't make it fun or engaging.
Im the healer in that fight tbh
just be a dwarf 
between roar/last stand being up, ez
@vestal torrent dark iron gang
being a dwarf is nice and all for 1 of the 500 pecks
with evk healer i usually wall first --> cauterize --> time dilation --> roar for the 4th screech which lines up with peck --> pop fire phase
Last 20% of the boss my heart is pumping not gonna lie
last stand the next --> cauterize is back --> wall or dilate --> use the other
boss pretty much dead here usually
ravager + IP spam negates another
problem arises if you and healer overlap CD
t hen butt clench engaged
my hips don't trust me
would be nice if i could before reset
None of the recent dungeon nerfs are live atm
They're going in with reset it looks like
@vestal torrent 
is there a low cd appearance changing toy that retains tmog and works with combat
fuck man i was very excited when i saw the nerfs
im race changing to dwarf and its fucking disgusting
@warm plinth where Is written bleeds shouldnt be doing So much i already said i do 35k overall dps on 395ilvl, if Its bad then ye maybe but i also saw like two top tanking wars playin that talent And third one had one point there, i watched first ten wars only but still...isnt it something to think about? Rather then insultin somone do bad rotation
doesnt keep tmog but makes you a cute dwarf
gnome oops
I didn't insult anyone btw. Not a single time.
Just because I disagree with you and I'm telling you you're wrong doesn't mean I'm insulting you.
This doesn't work in keys anymore btw.
WHAT
Hasn't since the start of Shadowlands iirc
well TIL
your idea has merit, in a dungeon with large packs, bloodbourne is likely a trash DPS increase. You can take that while sacrificing some surviability or ST damage. You should sim it and try out the talent yourself to make your own conclusion, ultimatly, the nice part about our new talent system is that you can play the way you want
if you are cranking 20-25 keys with Bloodbourne, it doesn't really matter what others have to say
i wish cross faction guilds were introduced so i could play a dark iron dwarf
horde racials are garbage
yeah but zug zug
zug zug mf
Pref mecagnom imo the passiv is insane
loktar ogar
btw idk if you guys are aware but on sennarth mythic you can use pvp trinket to cheese p2 stuns
main stat one?
yea but do they work in keys
I have no idea; I haven't tried one in forever
Mainstat and cheat death
Best embellishments?
But while you're at it you can try savory deviate delight
mainstat passive is very underbudgeted from what i recently read
compared to active ones
Turns you into a human ninja/pirate
savory is goated
oh true true
idk the 2nd passive
Basicly à cheat death every 2min
uhgg
Plus main stat from racial instead of stinky DR
whats the best rotation for aoe
i just checked it, seems pretty tame to me tbh
but me +15 rage every 2 min
nothing compared to dwarves i would say
do we ever use whirlwind?
nop
No
Isn't that false? If you don't need IP whirlwind is a great way to dump rage no?
whirlwind doesnt reset SS, revenge does
TIL
oh, you spam SS even during massive aoe fights?
"generates 20 rage" yup
You use SS on CD, yes.
Biggest source of rage, gets reset often by pretty much everything
hits like a truck
oh wow i thought revenge only reset SS on procs
that is sick
friend ship with WW ended, friendship with Revenge begun
Ah I see, Strategist
Whirlwind, Slam, and Rend should never be on your bars.
Yeah my friend had told me WW was the rage dump xD

3 different warriors, 3 different keys, 3 different percentages. This is why percentages don't matter.
is this the leap thing they would do, or something else
rip
Leap is called Leap for the Throat
tankbuster
so we can pull all wolves together now
so the thing that was super fine
@warm plinth Its Okay bro Its just theorycraft i dont need to be right Its just what i see from first week maybe im Wrong need more testing let IT be
altho i find halls immensely boring so only done it on an 18
halls and AV my least fave for sure
It's feelycraft, not theorycraft.
but my experience has been the leap oneshots everyone else long before im even close to worried
RLP is the goat
Yeah, that nerf was more for the other tanks than us. We can block it so 🤷
AA is good dungeon
@warm plinth but u can seevall of them do 25-35 from bleeds btw
@uncut notch you can cheese the leap to make it do no damage anyway, so now the wolves are free now
AA is not lol
i love AA except for crawth
that boss is the perfect example for "blizzard youve gone too far with mechanics"
it hardly has any mechanics tho
AA is fun in lower keys but as you go higher it gets insane
small platform, knockback, dodge swirlies, DR the tank hit, hps the bleed, do the balls, clear thundering, watch the tornados
thats because you dont really notice them in lower keys
You're not understanding why you don't look at percentages yet. If you play worse, then naturally your bleeds will be a higher percentage of your damage because literally all you have to do to maintain bleeds is Thunder Clap once every 15 seconds and Revenge every 15 seconds.
when it gets to everything one shot territory its stupidly hard
its just that one bomb into swirly overlap, every time
all of them are dumb
Naa
Mana boms basically 1 shot anyone not above 90% hp with no personal on them on 22+
Bird/Tree are w/e.
after nerf
But Mana boy and last boss.
@solar shadow from logic perspective ill do moře bleed ddmg outside of tyranical week or not since ill not spend eternity on bosses with st dmg And executes or not?
Are scary
tree is hilarious
bird is half the reason im race changing to dwarf lol
logically speaking yes that checks out
Just get a Evoker.
cant all my friends are dru for some reason
evoker is harder than rdruid for sure
im also kinda biased against evoker
No offense to burgah but you're asking a guy for advice on warrior who thought we used Whirlwind 90 seconds ago.
rdruid also kinda broken
Mine goes like this:
-Evoker
-Dwarf
-Trinket
-Evoker
-CD
TO be fair I can read talents and have played the game at a high level for a long time
I will WW my way to a higher IO than you in a week if that is what is required for you to show me some respect
@warm plinth i do SS on cd Revenge ever possible And then TC , maybe my rot Is not perfect but Its far from bad, And even if i master my rot, my bleeds Will downfall from 35 percent to what? 25-30 max
I would love to see that actually. But no disrespect was intended. Just putting it into perspective because he's clearly just listening to the person who is humoring this dumb shit.
until you upload logs this discussion is kinda pointless
I mean, I think you are personally offended if you're calling it dumb, his question clearly has merit
It does not have merit because he's not using real information to consider these decisions.
There are top players running the talent, his point logically, that he can trade surviability for increased trash DPS via bleeds, makes sense
We literally have sims that could tell him in 20 seconds that he's wrong, but instead of doing that, he's in here getting validation from you.
we've had this discussion before and conclusion is, not worth it
Fight me.
Yes, and I agree entirely that it's not worth it
He's literally feelycrafting.
What are we arguing about?
Bloodborne
The nice part of the talent system is that he can play the way he wants to, like BK
Cool.
Sure but it's our responsibility as the spec channel that he came to, to tell him that he's wrong.
If he wants to be a big bleed pumper, and have less survability/be slightly less optimal, so be it
He can certainly play however the hell he wants. But I'm still going to tell him he's wrong.
At no point did I say, Bloodbourne is better
I never said you did
I said you were humoring him, not telling him he's right.
Some people just need to be told they're wrong.
I mean, there are tanks with 3.2k rating using bloodbourne
good players make shit work. also applies for talents and race utility. classic example is andy running 10% vers while clap is at 20%-something vers. does that mean vers is good or bad? if dwarf was end all then everyone would be but shuh running troll and has a resto druid with him
I don't think this black and white answer that he is wrong and you are right is a good way to have a discussion
Top warriors are wrong literally all the time.
Wouldn't be the first time. 🙂
you can be rank 1 and play sub optimally
I would argue they are taking these talents for good reasons
They aren't some infallible being. They're human just like anyone in here.
Something you have to realise.
Getting Rank 1 is a TEAM game. If you have solid people around you who know what they are doing you can run literally w/e and do w/e.
I would argue they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
feelycrafty reasons probably
Okay then im ending discussion top tier wars Are Wrong but ghasn god Is right
Playing purely by the sims and theory is nice but rarely BIS
thats the entire point of the talent system ...
there are niche situations where the theory doesnt account for
lol, okay dude. If you didn't want people to challenge you then why the fuck try to sell it in here
@ionic fern aha So u can run shit talent in 27 key noted
Just fór Fun And meme
Jep.
also saw r1 using BSV and im pretty sure thats completely bugged talent
Jep.
It is
And it's dumb to run it
But guess what, a lot of them do
But they're R1 so they know better than me.
If you can run a 20 without armor you can run 27 with suboptimal talents
it's an extra cd in case you fuck up a dangerous pull, best example halls first pack
if the answer to push top key was as simple as doing same race, comp and talent everyone would but all the top dicks are doing diff things and still being succesful
That's probably true, to be fair, they probably do know better
It's bugged.
It doesn't work like it should.
from my logs it procs early but still increases healing taken and reduces damage taken
I was just reaffirming your own statement
skyhold moment
what is bugged exactly other than it proccing around 40-50%?
I was clearly being sarcastic.
thats the bug
It procs before considering mitigation
It procs before mitigation, that's the bug.
and you ahve no agency over when it procs, so its terrible
Theorycrafters rarely are the best button pressers 🙂
it's fine as i said if it procs early on that pull, you move other cds farther down the line
two different skill sets
Je, we suck ass.
Can't play for crap.


@void marten its better to not play it
Back in the day, Elitist Jerks had a sick rogue theory crafter who was flamed for not parsing well/playing at a R1 level, its very common
everyone followed their math and theory, but that didn't make them the best player at the class
here we go
There are easily situations i can imagine bloodbourne being a worthwhile talent
Hey u know what u need to be rank 1, a good team around u
e.g. you are pushing for the fastest possible time in a dungeon to win MDI
Nope
you might not need surviability and want an extra 2-3 seconds from your increased DPS
idk man, just open your mind a bit
Because if your pushing time u have to be more defensive becauae u have to pull bigger
Am i better at pushing buttons if i parse as well in M+ and parse better in raids than the prot warriors?
Being able to pick the wall and spell block

Far better than 2 points in bb
telling this guy to stfu and that he is wrong for asking a genuine question after he did research into the top warriors talent trees is just not a very nice way to communicate
@jagged pier to have good team u need to be good aswell, And why not pick more dps if ur team good?
Bb is for the opposite scenario, you're doing low keys with friends or for giggles
Have u seen nerf play?
No, not really.
😂
Lol, can you show me where I told him to stfu?
U can be garbage
You sure love to say I said things that I didn't say
Can get high io
Have you actually analysed the logs of the "top players"?
Hell our top prot in sl for a while blocked less hits than he took
I certainly did not
They never have any
Ther ewere some
Ive checked
you specifically said "I was humoring his dumb shit"
Previously.
I never said that
that is implied
You know what quotation marks are for right

you're gonna make this guy kelade of prot warriors lmao
@solar shadow let IT be a d thanks fór support i just want be openminded but ppl have their only true
I appreciate you bringing your questions and considering alternative possibilities outside of the guide provided
I am fine with being openminded if you can actually give me a logical reason why you could be right. You provided none of that.
I provided an entire 30m conversation about trade offs and reasons why it might be good in niche situations actually
i remember when he made a website and copy paster archimtiros' data
+1
It’s a talent why people about to go to war
The "logical reason" you gave me was that your bleeds are doing 35% of your damage and that obviously 20% more of that is good
Agree to disagree and move on
And I tried to explain THREE TIMES why percentages of damage mean jack shit.
I set myself up for that
And you just blew me off.
you did
He asked if he can use bloodbourne to trade off surviability or ST damage on large AOE packs for more DPS
Which is, to be fair, a logical and reasonable thought
and more speficically, if fortified raises the value of bloodbourne
The answer is bb is bad right?
which is also probably true
So take it and move on
breaking bad is the best show ever
i mean tbf dude you also don't have a lot of credibility since you said you were spamming whirlwind, so you backing him up is probably hurting his case

The same guy who said he can read talents btw.
I don’t have that on my bars
I mean, i can do math and numbers and think logically
You’ve said that 4 times
Clearly not if you thought whirlwind was worth pressing over Revenge.
which is what the question requires
You asked a question
It got answered
You didn’t like the answer
That’s fine
Move on
first whirlwind, now slam
what's next
manual rend application?
@warm plinth ye bleeds do 30 percent of your dmg overall So on 100mil overall dmg Its 30 mil So blooborne adds another 6 mil Its 6 percent dps increase Its not logical?


No because THIRTY PERCENT OF YOUR DAMAGE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
thats not how it works.
lmao
stop
full stop
can we link some IOs so i can see if any of you are actually any good or just regurgitating what you read on guides
you go first
Nah let's see your fucking io burgah, Mr. Whirlwind
im 2750 3 weeks into my first healer character, now you
Can't normálly speak
oh yeah im 3200 first week
checkmate

Oh, I'm 3k on my alt that I just made 8 days ago
ok, thats what I figured
Im 5k in four diff dimensions
that is Mr Whirlwind in the flesh


no it cant be!
it's okay, you can improve yourself
start reading the pinned info
So if my math doesnt work like that how it works?
have u heard of a cool website called raidbots where you can simulate your character, which includes talents too
No, tell me more erga
Let's see where my alt is at the end of the season 🙂
I tried this tactic already
Did not take
let's not fool ourselves, io is just an indication of time spent
@solar shadow if you don’t want your idea to be wrong why ask the question you have to be willing to accept the response
I used it whole bfa but i didnt want use it fór blooborne since it looked like Simple math thing
He was asking because there are top warriors using the talent
And the response was "they are retarded"
"they are bad players"
Guys i dont want to derails this convo but can i get your immediate opinion on which races' pwar angry grunts are best? I think its female goblin
No one said they were that, or that they were bad. I said that they are not infallible, and that they make bad choices like everyone else.
https://raider.io/characters/eu/twisting-nether/Crystar this is me, i play dumb talents all the time but it's okay, no one needs to play perfectly to be able to push some rio. i go for utility+utmost safety over the perfect build and it works for me
Can guarantee if a #1 uses something, it may be specifically for a key/comp they're running. Bleeds may work out better in a full kite situation.
if you think you want more damage with bloodborne go for it, nobody can stop you
this is what I was explaining an hour ago
but dont spam it over and over again here, it's pointless
Not sure but, female gnome heroic leap yell is pretty adorable
female tauren
Moooo
you don't even need to cast intimidating shout
@foggy fractal Its not one but three from top ten, didnt look further, ofc it doesnt prove anything but i dont want believe they play it fór meme all of them
it's passive on fem troll
Female gob just seems the most passionate about it yknow
they are likely not playing it as a meme in any case, your best bet is to go into their stream and ask them why they are using it
Have you seen the female goblin Feign Death? It's spectacular.
you are not going to find your answer about some very specific hyper niche optimization for 24-26 keys here
is it ok if i use ur character to link some sims
I wouldn't mind doing +24-26 keys
These kinda convos are reason why I am on Discord. Sadly fat kul tiran male is kinda boring for grunts but looks awesome atleast
sure
👉👈 😳
KT heritage is :chefkiss
I can respect that
i like worgen noises
Plus it's the only race I can relate to
@void marten THX fór nice words pyke my Aim Is also around that score And i just want try new things And this one looks super interesting but ye Guess need more testing
anyways, my keyboard warrior needs got the best of me, good night gents
you'll be excited to know I have removed whirlwind from my bars
I'm proud of you
Is there a bug on last boss RLP? Was in a 18 earlier and boss despawned at like <10%
Genuinely looking forward to where your warrior goes in the weeks to come
that's no bueno
Heard of that happening before, not seen it myself
But not something I've seen happen before
Maybe a weird position on the platform
that causes a reset
My friend finally got a good group for a 20 with 5 mins for last boss where it despawned
It was so shitty caused us to not time. We were like at the middle of the platform which was normal
if you're pugging my sincere suggestion would be to run disrupting shout most of the time
along with 2x shield wall and spell block
Absolutely not
Not sure we know 100% - as the smaller guy aggro resets in p2, maybe he got aggro on a ranged and evaded? May not be possible, just an idea.
Not great
Horrible.
so what would be the best setting, multi target patchwerk?
That's what I normally do. 5-10 target Patchwerk for like 1-3 minutes
and then an ST sim ofc
in dk discord they suggest 3 min single target sim and 1.5min aoe sim and take average of it
but that sounds pretty stupid to me lmao
it could be the best option, idk, but sounds pretty silly
That's what i do.
