im trolling, you'll have it

#

and, i can live with the rage cost if you just remove the target requirement

#

not being able to use it when nothing is near you is annoying AF

just move to something then

i just spent 30 seconds looking

its not always an option

yes it is

#

wah wah wee wah i have big stick

#

waow

sick sentinel
#

thats definitely a 1 hand long sword at that point, he's holding it with 1 hand so its 1hand

fallen pulsar
#

considering the size of certain one handers in wow, checks out

#

wish we could use 2h weapons for tmog tho 😦

#

titan's tmog

warm plinth
#

Half a Titan's Grip

#

new pwar talent

fallen pulsar
#

the 1h specialization node becomes a choice node lol

#

more attacks with less damage or slow big attacks

sick sentinel
#

you can now equip 2hand weapons with shields, increasing dmg by 5%, but if you do so, you move 5% slower

fallen pulsar
#

I think everyone would do that if there was no swing speed penalty lol

#

I'll gladly take a 5% move speed nerf for it at least

sick sentinel
#

i think if blizzard wants us and expects us to actually play in defensive stance more than 20% of the time at absolute most, it has to have some kind of block related thing, or interupts get reset if they fail

plush tendon
#

if blizz wants us in D Stance, they take off the 10% damage - modifier

fallen pulsar
#

mmm, we have plenty of stops already, so thats not enticing either

oak heart
#

or remove the damage done reduction part of it

sick sentinel
#

thats the impilication that you are playing more defensively, so you aren't doing as much dmg

#

if its like, we get the block value we lost into defensive stance, maybe then its a real debate if to use it

plush tendon
#

or put some rage gen to damage taken while in D Stance

#

idk, just spitballin

fallen pulsar
#

tbh if I'm in dstance I should get a 50% move speed buff. Then I'll use it. To move between trash 😛

warm plinth
#

The fact that we will never take defensive stance (because they will never not have a damage penalty) is why it was dumb to bring back stances.

plush tendon
#

^

sick sentinel
#

if it was 50% move speed i would literral never take it off

#

that is game breaking over powered, just trust me

#

the game will implode

fallen pulsar
#

I just want to be able to run old content without feeling like a snail

#

can I have a glyph of infinite heroic leap on instanced content below level 61 if I'm max level

warm plinth
#

Whirlwind provides a 100% movespeed increase. Now Nando can spam his whirlwind to his heart's content in old content

dark prairie
#

how big are the prot nerfs

warm plinth

roughly about 7% reroll chance on your main

Brm new meta boys

plush tendon
#

Brew looking cool; too bad warrior is much cooler

fallen pulsar
#

I'm thinking of leveling a brew alt, their damage looks sick. But I suck at managing stagger properly

sick sentinel
plush tendon
#

basically means we take more damage from attacks we block... and we already take little damage from blocked attacks

warm plinth
#

idk managing stagger isn't really much of a thing anymore

plush tendon
#

so 7% of 0 is still 0 XD

warm plinth
#

purify is on its own CD now so

fallen pulsar
#

oh cool

#

I remember that being my biggest barrier to entry before lol

plush tendon
#

I would try gearing a brewmaster just to try it out.... but thats like a lot of M+ and getting tier

warm plinth
#

Yeah they changed them over to shuffle in ...SL I think? So Ironskin Brew got removed and now you just have purifying brew (before, purify and ironbrew shared charges)

plush tendon
#

seems like a chore right now

fallen pulsar
#

I'm basically done for the season, so I have extra free time. Reached KSH, and only need to prog Heroic Rasz. So I have a lot of extra time gameplay wise now

plush tendon
#

Besides, Prot gameplay just feels good

fallen pulsar
#

yeah prot is a lot of fun

plush tendon
#

even if they werent the meta, kind of hard not to play it

fallen pulsar
#

I love pressing buttons

royal iron
#

How far do I have to jump back to see the upcoming nerf discussions?

oak heart
#

check pins

royal iron
#

Thanks

limber fable
#

We still sit in battle most of the time and just swap to defensive on heavy damage mechanics/bosses right ?

#

Or do we do enough damage to just safely sit in defensive. This if for +20s and above

fallen pulsar
#

depends honestly. You can mitigate lot of big damage without dstance

limber fable
#

Is it the worst to just sit in Def ?

fallen pulsar
#

ye big DPS loss

#

slower killing, slower key completion

limber fable
#

Ah okay . I'll start swapping more

fallen pulsar
#

if you're taking immense damage, then sure go dstance until it slows down

#

but being in bstance as much as possible matters a lot

cloud umbra
#

just go defensive for the known hard hitting stuff and swap back

opal flame
fallen pulsar
#

yeah, usually the group will die before you ever do even in bstance

opal flame
#

I have crafted shield and mainhand, should I open vault in dps spec for the whetstone? Only play m+

cloud umbra
#

isnt the whetstone still on the tank spec too?

warm plinth
#

yeah, open in arms

warm plinth
#

It's not a main stat trinket but it's still purely DPS, thus it's on DPS loot table

modern brook
#

And instead of waiting for 2 minutes

#

You pay for it in damage

#

If you're not being threatened, sitting in dstance is wasted damage

limber fable
#

I gotta hotkey a swap macro

modern brook
#

If your gear/key prog is such that you have to sit the whole key in dstance that's fine

#

Just make sure it's a cognizant decision and not just afk zzzzz prot op

#

P sure there's a macro in pins as well that does that btw

#

The hot swap

tender quartz
#

Okay did I misunderstand Glacial Fury? I'm looking over Terros Logs

#

Does it not fall off after the 15 seconds?

opal flame
modern brook
#

Yeah thanks

naive panther
#

There's some bosses on Tyr I'll sit distance like Crawth. But even third in temple you just swap for jade serp strike. I might go bstance on crawth when bleeds off me. But most trash I'm bstance, unless there's frequent big hitters can't stop, and at that point I'd just kite a sec if walls down, I've utilized wall pretty frequently almost more than even going dstance on trash.

somber shell
#

is anyone running spear of bastion in M+ this week to help move away when bolstering gets wild?

plush tendon
#

no

limber fable
naive panther
#

No spear is lame

#

Yeah agree hdmark

plush tendon
#

the key with bolstering is to pull things with similar health amounts, so that they die at roughly the same health % to minimize bolstering

#

if thats not possible, then funnel damage becomes important

somber shell
#

what about crackling thunder maybe? heh

#

I guess the loss of rend application is just too painful

plush tendon
#

dont be afraid to face tank a bolstered mob

#

for a little bit

limber fable
plush tendon
#

oddly enough, this strategy is what dps should be doing everyweek

#

packs should go down at the same time

somber shell
plush tendon
#

Dragon's roar is just better

somber shell
#

yes

plush tendon
#

spear is fine if you like it, but using it as a kite tool is sus

somber shell
#

and I have MM alt, I use a lot of proactive binding shots and keep highest health target focused... all dps should do stuff like that

plush tendon
#

besides, what are the potential dangerous bolstered mobs?

somber shell
#

I just want some of that SL S1 kite meta feel

plush tendon
#

big shas in Temple, those big serpents in AA, and those book throwers in AV are what come to mind for me

somber shell
plush tendon
#

actually, AV might be super sus after second boss since those roar dudes

#

have so much health

somber shell
#

like the skeletons in SBG or the arcing slash dudes in NO around tempest

#

heh good poitn

#

the big elementals in TJS could be annoying as well

plush tendon
#

not enough mobs to contribute to bolster

#

those packs are like 2 2 and 3

somber shell
#

even a 4x bolster + fortified would hurt

#

maybe it's not a big deal

vast goblet
#

get your % before that

#

you can skip all the trash after the second boss

somber shell
#

ugh - not in a pug

blazing condor
#

yeah that part is gonna be ass

#

cus even if the bolster drops you can get unlucky with a roar

plush tendon
#

gonna take some experimenting this week fo sure

#

and that trash after second was sooo good

vast goblet
#

i cant stand that section

plush tendon
#

I love it

#

its like 3 pulls

#

for all the count

blazing condor
#

its better pulls than the rest of the dungeon

plush tendon
#

maybe its sub rogue time?

lusty tiger
#

my group will be trying the skip all frogs and jump downt to the two guards before the 3rd boss this week

naive panther
#

I'm not sure why dps struggle on that. They just need to follow tank. Only get one big charge guy at a time but get frogs into or threw a doorway.

tender quartz
#

Why do peopel run Glacial Fury on Singletarget in Raids? Habit or did I misread the flask. Thought it's done after 15s

naive panther
#

But they seem content on getting gang banged by 1 or two mobs 60 yards away

#

But does sound like aids on bolster

solar shadow
#

this is a dead week for keys imo

#

see ya next week

sacred remnant
#

What do you use instead of Spell Block on keys where its not needed? Is the alternate selection (shieldblock thorns) very good or is there something else we could use?

solar shadow
#

the other talent on the selection

modern brook
#

TAN

solar shadow
#

is major DPS

#

it fucks

sacred remnant
#

ok thats what I thought

#

which dungeons do ppl run SB?

#

TJS, RLP.. any else?

solar shadow
#

AA

solemn current
#

SBG if you don’t want to kite the void slashes much

forest bay
#

It's nice to have as a backup for AV bosses

lofty widget
#

TJS only imo

#

dont think first boss in RLP warrants spell block

solar shadow
#

there is a sheet that shows you everything you can spell block, i think it's n the guide

strong forum
#

Just because you can spell Block it, doesn't mean it's good

#

In AA its absolutely useless

#

For example

forest bay
#

Don't spell block last boss AA

#

or spell reflect, I should say

solar shadow
#

Can you not block the beam on Vex?

strong forum
#

Sure but what's the point

lofty widget
#

it does no dmg tho

sacred remnant
#

you can have SR up for every beam

#

useless

solar shadow
#

On what key? it definitely wrecks on 22+ tyran

#

you do have reflect for every one though, so could be overkill for sure

lofty widget
#

tried on 22, was chilling with just reflect

strong forum
#

Taking spell Block for 1 tank buster

#

In the entire key

solar shadow
#

thorns DPS is huge for tree pulls

strong forum
#

Is kinda whack

solar shadow
#

so i can see it being not worth

lofty widget
#

besides, if youre taking Spel lblock for one thing it aint worth it imo

strong forum
#

Like, you get it once on that boss

#

Maybe twice if you're slow

sacred remnant
#

i can see TJS being worth for a lot of the pulls

strong forum
#

Tjs absolutely

gilded mauve
#

Guys which items should I upgrade first with valor point ?

strong forum
#

RLP also good for first section

solar shadow
#

blocking Dark Claw is giga

sacred remnant
#

and NO you can use for arcblades and the 3rd area casters

lofty widget
#

outrange arcblades

strong forum
#

Arc blade you can outrange

sacred remnant
#

ah ok

strong forum
#

Nokhud is wasted to use spell Block

forest bay
#

I was thinking the same for RLP, having spellblock for first section and first boss

sacred remnant
#

then its a waste yes

solar shadow
#

big pull dungys like NO/AA probably benefit the most from thorns no

#

meaning spell block loses value

sacred remnant
#

agreed

strong forum
#

Nails is always solid dmg

limber fable
#

Isn't block good for 2nd boss in ruby ?

sacred remnant
#

i think spell block is needed on high key tyr for first boss in RLP

strong forum
#

Doesn't work

forest bay
#

no

strong forum
#

On 2nd boss rlp

forest bay
#

2nd boss rlp is physical

mighty valley
#

searing blows is not magic

rain yew
#

Spell block should be baked into spell reflect imo.

mighty valley
#

despite being fire themed

#

this is my biggest pet peeve

forest bay
#

Yeah I thought it was magic for like the first 3 weeks

#

then I read it

solar shadow
#

it would be too easy if it was magic dispellable

#

trivial even

sacred remnant
#

2nd boss rlp searing blows always recks me any tips?

lofty widget
#

check the pins

mighty valley
#

spell reflect is already one of the best defensives in the game, overloading it more ain't it

solar shadow
forest bay
#

SW, spam IP, make sure to block the initial hit

#

cycle CDs

#

use pot

mighty valley
#

make sure your healer's aware

forest bay
#

LS + IP can cover it well

sacred remnant
#

same with tjs 3rd boss jade kick wrecks me

solar shadow
#

last night I had a dream where a horde can toggle to be alliance and it would race change you and give you dwarf racial

sacred remnant
#

i feel rage starved on tjs 3rd boss and i just fall over

forest bay
#

don't use defensives in phase 1 on TJS 3rd

whole vortex
#

use buttons better

forest bay
#

just use spell reflect

solar shadow
#

3rd boss TJS not fun, you basically save everything for 2nd phase

forest bay
#

and normal mit

#

use everything in p2 and take a sigh of relief in p3

solar shadow
#

you shouldnt be getting rekt by the strike as your healer can insta dispel

#

on p1

sacred remnant
#

p2 i mean not p1

forest bay
#

you can just SR it

rough egret
#

Where are the us vaults pics? So i can hype myself for tmrw

sacred remnant
#

jade is p2

sacred remnant
solar shadow
#

Jade requires CD and. your DPS to blast thru it asap, coordination with healer is big IMO

analog sparrow
forest bay
#

not P2

sacred remnant
#

yea p1 isnt an issue really

#

p2 is

solar shadow
#

cant afford to overlap CDs on Jade phase

rough egret
forest bay
#

HP pot is big when you have a lapse in defensives, cause it'll knock out a bunch of the heal absorb

mighty valley
#

you can still use sr for the %dr in jade phase, it just doesn't deflect entirely

forest bay
#

yes of course

solar shadow
sacred remnant
#

yea

#

IV helps remove the heal shield

#

but u dont have for eveyrone

mighty valley
#

pot & IV is huge, ask for healer external on another

forest bay
#

I haven't run that high of a TJS yet, is it ever an option to lust and blow cds on P2?

#

cause that feels the most dangerous

solar shadow
#

another big tip on TJS is that, you dont need to run into the boss immediatly

plush tendon
#

you can

forest bay
#

oh can't lust cause you need it for last boss

solar shadow
#

you have like 5 seconds before boss will come to melee you

#

dont charge the boss immediatly after kick, gives healer much more time to top you

plush tendon
#

yea, but then you move her

#

no one likes that

solar shadow
#

thats not really problematic

mighty valley
#

lots of lust timing options for tjs

solar shadow
#

its better than you dieing

sacred remnant
#

true

#

but charge gives u rage for IP

solar shadow
#

DPS take absolutely no damage in that phase unless they are stupid

lofty widget
#

why do you die by charging the boss huh?

mighty valley
#

if the boss moves a lot, more of the ground gets covered in green shit

#

kiting is a giga last resort

solar shadow
#

by charging the boss, you give it more melee uptime on you and less tiem for healer to top you when youre already like 10%

#

its not kiting

lofty widget
#

her melees are insignificant

solar shadow
#

this provides like, 2 extra GCDs for your healer, which is HUGE, trust

#

speaking from experience as a pres evoker

sacred remnant
#

pug healers arent the best

mighty valley
#

if you're in range to die to a melee, sure, don't go into melee range immediately

solar shadow
#

find it hard to believe your rage from charge is the differeniator there, are you saving ravager to top your rage before a jade strike ?

forest bay
#

I think in higher keys, asking your DPS to hold any >1min CDs for second phase would help a lot

#

I find the problem with that boss isn't living the first few, it's that you run dry

hazy umbra
#

Hey mates, i was wondering what are the recommended crafts ? Should i use the lariat ?

lofty widget
#

1 melee from the boss isnt gonna kill you, but charge+SS might save you

solar shadow
#

specifically for the one where you dont have mitigation like wall or external from healer, its a big difference maker and requires you to do nothing but stand still

lofty widget
#

plus the boss doesnt move

solar shadow
#

youre likely 20-30% hp with a gigant heal absorb on you

forest bay
hazy umbra
#

All necks have 3 sockets

forest bay
#

oh I'm dum

limber fable
#

I saw someone pop iv every other I think before running out of the circle . I've tried iv health pot iv for the 3 in phase 2

mighty valley
#

lariat is a bigger diff for offspecs if you do that, belt unlocks fire ring, otherwise all embellishments are roughly the same value

plush tendon
#

Lariat is nice cause you can choose stats, slap 3 gems in there (including a prim stat so you never have to remake) and the embellishment is decent

mighty valley
#

that boss must be kinda a joke for bdk, right

plush tendon
#

but truthfully, we've been bamboozled by the Jewlcrafting cartel

solar shadow
#

yeah death strike snipes the shield insta

#

brewmaster can also snipe it with celestial brew

plush tendon
sacred remnant
#

i have 2p tier rn, is 4p a huge jump?

mighty valley
#

it's decent defensively

hazy umbra
#

You can spell Block it and take no initial damage, works for 2 in à row if cast at the right timing

plush tendon
#

oh thats a nice bleed you have there crawth, good thing my blood shield absorbs it

no mainstat on whetstone tho

in pretty much all keys

strong forum
#

and i dont like my chances with only 15% crit block chance

increasing your effective critblock chance by 30% is quite worth at that level

When ill get the chance to have it i think ill use ot too 🙂

I love the azur vault trinket though but it seems like im the only one aha

ye it doesnt do a whole lot

I use whetstone and world boss main stat + haste proc trink

I don’t know if it’s just me… but I feel like I lost agro on big pulls.

Anyone have the same problem? Any advice?

totem+blazebinder for me for now, would use whetstone likely if I had it, was using bone toe before I got blazebinder, blaze sims high,and feels like i'm trucking when it's up.

You face tank packs while moving to the next pull

woven trellis

they wont llisten to any rational thoughts

they rly want to believe that there is a world where they can dps on dummies and dont have to learn how to dps while moving

I try not to move for big pulls if I dont have to so dps doesnt have to worry about moving

ye im doing that as well

brm got some much needed buffs. I still think they need to rework the spec a bit. It went from being a 2 button class to ultra bloat. They've always had issues with magic damage too, which was a much more glaring issue in this season's dungeon pool.

after the 5th nerf, prot is just strong and more importantly, fun

BrV needed to be nerfed multiple times. TBH 30% into IP was pretty fuckin' wild.

ye, I thought 15% was fine though, especially since we'll be losing tier eventually

first tier is always dogwater

next tier set bonus will be stronger 100%

ye for sure

Brutal Vitality now causes 10% of the damage you deal to add to your Ignore Pain (was 15%).
Shield Specialization now increases block value by 12% per rank (was 15%).

idk the nerf is so minor that it just feels like throwing a bone to the loud complainers

kiting is a cheap cop out of ignoring mechanics that are BEYOND overtuned.

and it shouldnt be a thing

that you need to kite a mechanic

Ye if I'm kiting because the ability is overtuned, then it's less fun. If I'm kiting because it's an intended mechanic to kite then it's good imo

lusty tiger
#

why should my melee character not be allowed in melee because autoattacks

fallen pulsar
#

Because target dummies are pretty boring? Needing to interact with the game in more ways than standing still and being a rotation bot spices things up imo

I don't think kiting is the answer to that. Our toolkit has plenty of stops, utility, cds to make things interesting

prisma crow

the higher the key, the more i feel like me doing explosions is griefing

fallen pulsar

I think kiting can be interesting, I dont think blizz normally handles it well though

lusty tiger
#

there are ranged mobs, charging mobs we can charge, casters, kick immune... but autoattacks is a tank only mechanic that incentivizes 0 interaction

the difference on some of those mechcanis, right now is: back up 5 years, life, stand still die

Speaking of kiting. Anyone have a list of abilities that you can strafe/backstep like Void Slash in SBG, Severing Slash in AA, Ice Cutter in Azure Vaults, etc.

Yeah thats the problem, unless you're willing to spam your work in trade chat instead of playing the game, then you get no work other than the occasional guild order because nobody is going to put thier spark up in public order without the ability to put a minimal quality request.. yet bliz stated public orders are working as intended..

Idk if this is the correct place to do that, if not sorry

shrewd saffron
#

I'm not the prot warrior in question but i feel his healing is low, and as one of the healers he feels way rippier than i would expect

fallen pulsar
#

is he sitting in dstance?

#

his cpm is low

#

needs to press his buttons more in general

lusty tiger
#

especially shield slam

fallen pulsar
#

shield slam lower than thunderclap on presses

#

thats pretty bad

lusty tiger
#

by a lot

#

it would fix like 80% of what im seeing

fallen pulsar
#

he's probably rage starved from how little he's slamming

#

tell him to take off interrupting shout and thunderlord

#

and put in at least champions bulwark for shield charge

#

would take off 1 point of overwhelming rage and spec into 2nd point of cruel strikes.

lofty widget
#

cant do that

shrewd saffron
#

so more button presses, specifically shield slam

#

and some talent changes

fallen pulsar
#

champions bulwark not being talented is the biggest offender imo

shrewd saffron
#

knowing literally nothing about prot warrior is that affecting his

#

healing?

lusty tiger
#

yes

fallen pulsar
#

increases shield block, and generates a ton of rage

#

which gets turned into healing

#

This build for raz is very questionable at best lol

fallen pulsar
#

also, his blocked hits is low, only 78%

#

so he's not having shield block up

#

which mitigates a lot of damage

shrewd saffron
#

what about the eranog kill? We had a lot of unrelated problems on raz

fallen pulsar
#

and increases his damage

winter glade
#

Hes also running tough as nails on raz instead of spell block which is bad

lusty tiger
#

im p sure you wanna look at the 2nd hits column, since the first one counts swings that get parried or dodged

fallen pulsar
#

same critique talent wise. he runs the same talents

lofty widget
#

he just needs to hit his buttons on CD

lusty tiger
#

but still low

tender cove
#

so guild is inviting me for azure 20 weekly but im bit worried about last boss tbh.
Can you just plant on ledge now with change to thundering?

lofty widget
#

thats gonna solve like 90% of his problems

tender cove
#

whats the idea with the ledge? all balls just clump up on me?

lofty widget
#

so theyre easier to get to

earnest nymph
#

not the balls, the shards

lofty widget
#

shards, right

fallen pulsar
#

he's generally not pressing enough buttons and also not pressing the correct ones. His talents could also use work

tender cove
#

how do you deal with the balls then?

lofty widget
#

pray they dont target you

earnest nymph
#

don't move more than you have to, heroic leap, healer dispel

lofty widget
#

although with the nerf to the slow you can outrun them even at 10 stacks

winter glade
#

The balls you can hang on the ledge but they some times come up to you, you can leap away until they get close, than dispel and run back

tender cove
#

what dispel?

next burrow
#

Yoy cut off half the map, so they only spawn on one side, @tender cove after a while they will clump up u run to the other side, if healer doesnt dispel use thundering buff

#

sidnote: do you have to time a 20 to get the teleport stone? or just finish it

earnest nymph
#

time

winter glade
#

Yes time it

fallen pulsar
#

roger roger

#

makes sense

lofty widget
#

basically missing half his buttons

hybrid aurora
#

and ports only work per character, so you'll need to refarm them on your brewmaster this week

fallen pulsar
#

true, everyone has to re-earn them when they reroll today

#

since prot is ded

earnest nymph
#

I am finally leveling my monk which was my main for a few years prior to this patch since they were kinda DOA on DF launch

solar shadow
#

See you guys in the brewmaster discord, Burgahww out 🫡

winter glade
#

woo Nando, prot is not even close to dead lol

fallen pulsar
#

(its a joke)

mighty valley
#

i don't want to go, can't we just rename this channel brewmaster

shrewd saffron
fallen pulsar
#

top

sturdy sable
#

Yeah I'm pretty sure everyone is being sarcastic @winter glade

winter glade
#

I couldnt tell since ive seen some people actually saying that

fallen pulsar
#

the one with double the actions per minute
