regular dwarf is way more traditional anyways
Panda animations are good
Panda animations are BiS
too bad you can't wear helms
Panda dance
All the homies love haymaker
good for sanguine keyts
You got this ezpz
i did that just to trigger ppl 🙂
🤣
prot magetower is joke
is it worth to have both proc rings?
I always found is significantly easier on prot pally tbh
he deleted the vod and all the twitch clips so here it is
Pepega
its the ONLY thing i can see
entering this zone
Even when they had to do double the damage of other tanks
i can never ever unsee this
In Legion you could legit kill Inquisitor from range 
i gotta get to wherever a elemental storm is
farm out points, to buy ring of shame
unless i somehow learn that the ring actually has lower stats for its ilvl cuz it has an effect
is downgrading a piece of gear 30 ilvl worth 4 piece?
4pce stronger then it appears imo
just got it finally this week and it feels great with brutal vit.
should i take filial if i already have diurnas chosen and belt to proc it
still just gunna do low keys for next few ones so i can craft another 405
week looks fun so far
@strong forum not sure what i am doing wrong. but i bearly got him to 49% and my dps is around 1.5k...
dps gets inflated by the infernals
cuz they take more dmg
so dont look at that
but make sure to stun the drain life
stay in the puddle until like 6 stacks
kill the eyes
did we ever talk about what trinkets were best for prot in the raid if you don't have whetstone or incarnate? we were talking trinket buts but I got pulled into a meeting and missed it.
whatever sims highest
oh right, thats why i love shamans, they have a very short CD on kick
there's like... no correlation
bloodborne is still the absolute tiniest big pull aoe dps optimization in exchange for talents that are more broadly good
pick whatver you like more
it's "whatever gear you get"
there is not debate pick your favourite
ye but sometimes i have to pick missives
so i actually have to make a choice
which i hate
i pick crit cuz its more damage
do you like the parry noise
generally crit then? but just sim every upgrade i guess
then crit is your best friend
Lashers in AA don't bolster, right ?
How good is tier for tanking M+? My vault has a 10 ilvl upgrade as one of only good pieces, but I would lose 2 piece tier until near future when I use catalyst
B-stance
no, typically non elites can receive bolstering but don't cause it
no
the AA small birds absolutely do bolster the alphas tho
monsters spawn by bosses will not bolster said boss
trinket preferences anyone? I have 402 whet, 421 incarnate, 415 Deco of Flame and 411 Torch. What combo is your fave?
wet incarnate for m+ grieftforch incarnate for raid?
your torch prob outdoes your whetstone but takes a bit more thought on when to activate in m+
hmmn so whet for ease torch for maximization
incarnate isn't great for m+, more worth for raid if you're activating everyone else's icons
incarnate isnt that good in m+ even as a stat stick?
our other tank has incarnate already
it's ok, you can sim it, and double on-use can be awkward which is your only other option
hopefully you can replace it with an alltotem or something soon
I have a 405 all totem
but i've always heard it wasn't good for some reason
so whet/totem?
if they were all same ilvl whet/totem would be the no brainer but honestly you should probably just sim the damage
and if there's only a small difference, take into account the defensive bonus of totem
cuz nobody spent the 2 minutes to figure out what it does lol
guilty tbh lol
🙂
I just kept it thinking... it might actually not be bad
but everybody was like nahhh
ive always said it was among the best trinkets
cuz i figured out what it did in beta
why am I doing equal damage to the dps players in m+
but yeah, people are catching on now
ugh
its really good in m+
people see the words "dodge" and "parry" and assume that somehow means it must not be meant for prot
most people assumed it only did dmg
cuz checking your buffs
when you proc something is hard
I really dunno how to survive against that last pack in TJS
I shield wall, then I spell block
they're still alive
you kite once youre out of CDs
I also have a 415 Strength of the pack >.>
Tbf this damage seems kinda mid
I usually try to stun the 1st 1 or 2 of the busters then Wall > Spell Block > Last stand > Wall
the 36k is me
^^
was a 13 key
if that is a high key you are playing with... oh
I've NEVER seen anyone do 70-100k in a pug
ya ok in 13s you cant expect much
^
It's so miserable
the 13 ive done i topped dps
^

well if you're doing 13s you wont see that kinda damage unless its a carry lol
I just want to have fun 😢
I played with 2 people who were doing 60k and it was quite nice with packs actually dying
but no one ever does more than 40k in these keys
the key i did with a guild i was in was sub 30k in a 14 slog of a jade
i was barely behind 2 dps at 25k
On one hand this week is easier than last week

but not when people can barely dps more than a tank
ahh so if I sim dungeon slice with only incarn proccing off tank All totem of the master is better than 421 incarn
the sad thing is, that DK in the screenshot is my friend and he gets salty if I tell him to pump harder

dungeon slice doesn't really work for us from what i've heard
dungeon slice is whack
guess i pumped too hard almost beat them in a key i was carrying them
you can sim entire dungeons soon or already
by importing your route from MDT
and sim that
oh wow
I consistently out DPS one of my friends who plays Mage atm, regardless of key level. He outgears me, even
I just can't figure it out
okay now it's saying torch/whet is my best...
i do like 40k as a dps and im dogshit at 400ilvl
my mage guildies are only just starting to beat my 40-60k, slow to learn movement etc for these dungeons
fury this xpac too hard for my dumbass
I really need to just sit and watch him play
fury is just dump all your CDs in sequence then press rb/rampage til they're back
make him stream it and watch him do some dumb shit
i dont know how much dps i do as fury because i still only have 372 two handers smh
I'm at the point where I'd do more damage with SMF
379 2hs drop from captain lancer 43% drop rate
i simmed as fury 2 1hs was like 1k dps loss
my 1hs are about same ilvl
dont play SMF lol
very weak
i prefer the aesthetic of smf, but like
muh damage
I've been arms lootspec
im sitting on 405 379 tho
Ever since I got a 421 wep and had my 418 shield
so yeah maybe smf may be like 100~ dps over it with 421 weapon + w.e the other one is over your 2 379s
sim it

42ilvl over still probably about the samee
Can you block web blast?
the list is in pins, but yes
with the 4pc set from revenge does the IP shield block 50% of one hit or 50% of the shield but you receive 100% of the remaining damage?
IP works by redirecting 50% of damage intake to the absorb. If the damage goes over the absorb amount, it just goes back to your HP
It is not a 50% dr
if the hit does 500k, and you have a 50k IP, you will take 450k and be left with 0 IP
if the hit doe 50k and you have a 50k IP, you will take 25k and be left with 25k IP
^^^
hit does 500k 
and the IP from tier works exactly the same as a normal IP
Any changes with patch to talents/playstyle?
no
Not rerolling til they remove valor cap
something can stop the prot train. "shield block duration has been reduced by 75%"
bro anyone else remember when prot warrior couldnt block shoots
do u craft the fire belt only if u have the fire ring? using weap embelisshment atm not sur eif it worth swapping the embellish without the ring (atm, farming for it)
If you already have your embels and no fire ring, I'd just sit on them; they're all roughly the same performance level, so it's not cost effective to fuss with them
Just crafted a 418 mace. You guys think Sophic or Frozen is better?
the reflect helm is pretty good tho for m+
sophic for general frozen for m+
so frozen all day

what talent do u take out if u want to go battering ram
reduces dmg of any kind
It does smooth your damage intake, but it's a rage dump off the GCD
rather then block which is only physical
pretty good defensive tool that most tanks wish they had

spell reflect^
i was like "... deez butts?"
SB does trivialize parts of Jade ❤️
SR especially, yeah, actually
spell block is pretty good too
i was talking about shield block
oh that old thing
is there a way to sim/check out how much difference there is between each embellish?
probably not
There is but they've already done it for you in the pins. They're pretty much all right around 1%
gear compare
If you mean for your personal case, you can sim between different embellishment aetups to check for damage differences, but the more direct comparisons have already been done by TCs
thanks
If you want to look at the math behind it, you'd want to check in with Nome or Mwahi (i dont know who actually was involved in figuring out, sorry), but I assume that's not your interest
cant really go wrong with lariat tho
what is **FbV ** in our talent tree?
getting rid of 1h embi and go for lariat?
thxx nice
I dont recall having rend on my bars but its there today. We dont cast rend as a spell correct?
tc applies rend.
they switched spell ids rend = avatar
thank you
so drop it and get avatar again
i was trying to place it lmao
do I have to get the souls for frostfire belt every time I want to recraft?
nope
This guy is charging me 25k to craft it
u only need the steel 🙂
that seems like a scam considering I paid 10k for my lariat
Oh nice, Haste ~ Tempo :)))
in the german client
yeah 😄 but i still dont know if i should do it 😄
I have this in my vault and i don't know what to pick.
I have the helm already but ilvl 398. I have none of the trinkets. (I have better cloak) Would you say one of the trinkets are more worth than 13ilvl upgrade on set piece?
totem is strong af in m+
I mainly tank m+, just reserve tank in raid so yeah, m+ focused
Why don't u consider the helm to be 415 ilev? with a bit of valor
dodge or parry = counterattack frontal damage on mobs
Yeah that's also an option Taurine
I'm currently at 2050 rating though so would need a bit more to upgrade it
I don't play with these trinkets but because they aren't upgradable and because you can get higher ilev alternatives from spamming m+
Helm looks like an obvious pick
when they say BrV what does it mean ?
Brutal Vitality
to trinket totem
sorry dont mean to side jack this topic but that totems sick af. And im thinking of going after it would you take that or Rumbling ruby both heroic ilvl
@strong forum where did they say that about 1 spark every 2 weeks ?
the drop rate we think will be around that
I have a trinket problem: I have All-Totem, Rumbling Ruby and Windscar Whetstone, and can only equip 2 of them
how much haste should i Aim for?
x2
do you ever take heavy repercussions in m+
always
that's default pick
do fireling proc bolster in RLP ?
Do you uhhhh not look at the guides?
no
You don't really aim for any amount; 20% is (IMO) the absolute minimum viable, and 30% feels a lot better, but anything is good, really
no, i have 3 alts, i try.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5qfKqjpoDQs6hwxcGghLX6
what would i take here? 🤔
shoulder is higher ilvl, but chest sims higher...
415 chest + 405 shoulder
402 chest + 418 shoulder
im pretty sure my best option is 418 gloves => CC tier
It doesn’t take very long
And it answers questions like that
Far faster to just import the talent build than ask a question trying to talent it out yourself lol
relax.
thanks for the help!
I’m very relaxed
But also the discord is a supplement to the guides not a replacement
You're generally going to want to max your Strength by equipping your highest ilvl in all situations, regardless
thats for sure but im at a point where i just min max substats even more now since sparks can drop
Shoulder maybe, I mean honestly up to you at that point
Don't overdo the minmaxing for specific stats; you do need to have some of even the "bad" stats. I find it feels most comfortable with a rough ration of around 3:2:1:1 Haste:Crit:Mastery:Vers
is web blast from sennarth blockable?
I don’t think you’d go horribly wrong either way they’re both large ilvl upgrades
ye it looks like the Chest is simming higher, but the Shoulder might be the long term 🤔
Makes sense
How good is the Brood Absorb ring?
Chest is a higher stat budget
Assuming we make belt to proc it
are crafting orders still disappearing along with the mats?
ye might be why it sims higher 🤔
in fairness half the questions we get here are stuff like "isn't this trinket good, it's on the arbitrary wowhead 'bis' list"
That was the assumption, but apparently dirt has a fucking high droprate of them
is it 5 pieces of worn crafted gear max?
You can wear as much as you want
ok. I saw that article wow posted last july stating itll be 5 max, but didn't know if it was ever going to be implemented
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vuYgLmFehY3o9FFhobMfEV
picked my vault Nome
now time to clear HC
Noice
hopefully Kurog is nice to me
412 ilvl
and i can upgrade my Whetstone a bit more this week 😄
I legit need nothing now from raid besides grieftorch and maybe broodkeeper ring
from HC?
Ye
Cuz it is
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/wrk2wmaoyHySpWEkYpzNBC
im so confused with this Wrist simming... Does the engi wrist stats not sim correctly?
cant be right that a 411 wrist is 2.1% better than my 418 just cus of 290 crit...
same with the 402 BOE simming 1.9% higher 🤔
is boon good as tank in m+?
If you don't plan it's use, you can very easily get killed using boon
anyone got the ruby trinket / what whelp did you train>?
can the frostfire belt procs on more than 1 target simultaneously?
That does seem off indeed
even Nome agrees 🙏
Besides being a spicy trinket, boon does absolute bonkers aoe dmg
maybe i should just recraft my Engi wrist with pure Crit 🤣
but that would be dogshit in Arms 🤔
simming 2.5% better with pure crit
i did a dumdum
picked 418 > 415 in vault
and now i still have 3 set and not 4 set
🤦
but currently only playing M+ on warrior anyway
doing entire raid on my Enha shaman
also today i learned i can do shit during Boon 🤣
thought it would stun
Nah
It just pulses dmg around you and roots you
But it's not a stun or channel or anything
lul
what do you guys think about my stats, are they well distributed ?
can you attack during bubble? 🤔
yes
That's a lot of Vers
i think that is a lot of vers
you must have... 3.5k vers rating?
4250
i must admit i just followed pawns advice
vers = better for tanks
but now i feel my damage is low compared to other tanks during raids
Vers is ok, but 4250 is just slightly overdoing it IMO
Pawn is garbage. Vers is not something you should stack.
By which I mean I have about 1600
Does anyone take Bloodborne for raid? Seems like it would be good but idk what to drop for it. Was thinking Instigate
i see the error of my ways then i have just 1500 crit
Tier > iLvl > Haste > Crit > Vers=Mast
I have found a 3:2:1:1 ratio of the secondaries to be the most comfortable array
Who cares about stat balance
Just equip ilvl
Press buttons better
Profit
Hello, floks... I have a trinket dilema... I´ve been very unlucky on drops.
I have:
Dec of Flame 376
Battle Scared Scale 372
Rub Whlep Scare (+1 ST)
Burgeoning Seed
Wich 2 do you think its a better combo?
ok
idk about BSS, but i would probably go Ruby+Decoration
what ilvl is your Ruby?
392
been hearing sparks are dropping from raid and dungs?
what stat should i let lariat procc for haste or crit?
Got the ring from Eranog? DoF & Whelp
ye definately use that then, and keep upgrading it for either haste/crit or ST
Is it possible to tank mythic raid at 395 or should I wait till atleast 400
I did fine at 395
Gotcha ok cool
The only time i wasnt was when i did the dumb and kept standing in lava pools on eranog to interrupt the add instead of letting our 60 shamans do it
But thats what defensives are for, to get away with shit 😉
what do you guys think is better overall, sophic devotion or frozen devotion, i don't need to worry about surviving as much, just tryna pump
The goto phial for M+ damage output is Glacial Fury ?
What’s the command for the sim sheet?
I believe Sophic will outperform Frozen as gear increases
There we go
You can just sim enchants
Frozen seems to still pump even at 415 ilvl
But I like sophic more idk
can you put armor spikes and food buff on shield?
no
Only 1 or the other
Just simmed them both and frozen was 300dps higher on a craft 418 mace
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/aXrtij2vMrGMPCF9LQeX46
why does some of the items show - instead of a % up or down?
like Allied Wrist, does it not know how to sim it? 🤔
frog skip a must for this week in azure vault?
cba 10x bolstered frogs, but bolstered furies are also ass
Any idea why Phial of the Eye in the Storm is not simmed on https://bloodmallet.com/chart/warrior/protection/phials/castingpatchwerk5 ?
How does it compare to Glacial Fury in M+ ?
Eye in the storm is our best aoe phial
Damned I just stacked like 200 Glacial Fury kek
Glacial Fury does more in ST
Nice I'll keep them for next week then, thanks
I perma use Glacial Fury to get bosses down faster because pugs like to commit suicide on bosses
Wisespeaker Mari got hands
His laser beam is so very unpredictable, can't ever tell where it's going to go next smh
You can't go wrong with glacial fury dw
And Dora at the end of AA? Literally impossible, plz understand poor dps and heals
They aren't invincible like we are
kek thanks guys
Seriously? I've never seen a last boss AA wipe
Oh, I've never wiped
Yes, and let's keep it that way
But the entire rest of the party has died almost every AA key I've had
Grats
yogi with a boon... what will he do
Boon is bis aoe pad trinket
But it roots you in place for 10seconds when you use it
So use with caution
its really good on the tree boss in AA, just use immediately after the second set of roots spawn
easy threat and dmg
Looking pretty sexy
3m cd tho
you have 2 embellished pieces on already so it skips simming other embellishments
it's uncapped, so if you plan to use it you play around it with huge aoe
ah makes sense
looks like i cant craft anything that makes any sense
i could 402 -> 418 cloak for 0.5% dps 🤔
but maybe ill just save for 418 2h wep
i still enjoy my valarjar trinket, but this one is good too
Windnarbenschleifstein 🤣
WINDNARBENSCHLEIFSTEIN
nome after 3 rings vau lt
Windscarwhetstone
obviously i know what it is in english but its fun to see the literal translations
1-1 exact same word
but why no space 🤣
Bouttaintimidateyouboy
1+1* exact same word 😉
1 to 1
you know what the german word for spy is? spion, attention is achtung, life is leben
thats about the most i know
do what to my what?
no no was playing on 2 words into one

i know what you meant by 1-1
that 'bout taint imidate you boy''
when im in melee on warrior, and click a spell, it auto targets a nearby enemy. But when i do it on my evoker it doesnt 🤔
is there any way to do that in a macro maybe?
welcome to caster shit
😢:
also, only works on warr for stuff that doesnt require a target afaik
cant SS and do it
so just use an aoe
pretty sure if you SS without a target, you get one
you could probably use that action targeting though
On TJS 3rd boss let's say the P2 is taking to long and I'm stuck between 2 puddlesm it's better to walk on it than taking the kick itself, right ?
ooooh weeee, if anyone still has auto attack bound...
you could probably macro something but when i play casters i just instinctively slap tab-spell hotkey
leap
yea same, but gets me in trouble sometimes....
guys how can I get this cds with timers for raid? is a wa?
oh absolutely, but those are comedy moments
pugs dont appear to have the same sense of humor lol
i just make sure to play with a hunter
everyone blames the hunter
Afraid to leap into another kick lol
It's method raid tools
anyone else still call it ERT?
And you gotta write them yourself
Yeah I use the note, but the timers ?
so happy they kept /ert working
Custom setup
whats the play this week AA with lust etc
Surely with playing around you can find it
i'd assume all of tree room again
yeah i would lust bridge pull
So you can Lust first pull, then Lust bird then Lust last boss?
yeah or bigpull before last boss
What are the best talents for Raid now?
So all the pieces I’ve been crafting at 418 with haste verse has been wrong ? 😵
they fixed LOS tech on vex right?
The same as they've always been
No it's not wrong

I need a macro resource if anyone has something, I have too many buttons to press.
gear compare
Can't help you there buddy
We don't have any macros that reduce keybinds
on a related note
anyone have a decent macro for interrupt to focus and to just work normal if no focus?
i know they're out there im just shit at writing them
function keys are already stretching it. 12345qezxcrfv + modifier for second row
sick of relying on my quick selecting on 100 moving nameplates lmao
I still do Dragon second and bird last, while also skipping birds or doing them with boss. But, uh... that's my hidden tech route 
.
/cast [@focus] Pummel
/cast Pummel
Yeah well, just you wait until mdi

you can pust your stances in the same macro
#showtooltip Recklessness
/use Avatar
/use Blood Fury
/use Berserking
/use Ancestral Call
/use 13
/use 14
Sounds about right, I use 45 keybinds
Having trouble with that because if I hit the macro a second time it cancels the stance
literally uses all your shit
thanks, i was looking for one that works more like an if/then macro, but that one should at least work for now
Use the one from pins
use the one in the pins
also where is your Avatar? 😄
Question - if set bonus is about to fall off in an aoe situation and thunderclap is off cd, do you prioritize revenge or thunderclap?
and demo shout
i would TC
it will always hit your focus target if it exists and obviously can't cast twice, but the logic isn't explicit.
I'm hoping academy is in time trials tbh. This is what it looked like when I did it for the first time. But its way faster now 
since it gives revenge
yea, makes sense, ty
wait i need this holy shit
Makes sense
and ill do a mousebutton @finite dirgeover /focus macro
Not even +3 smh
yea, with how hectic random shit gets, especially on weeks like last wk w/ explosive it's pretty nice to have
Wait I thought you had to do all 3 bosses to get to dragon o.O
ok do you take the trinket or the ring
ye but also on pretty much all packs
trink
where theres a focus target, and a kick target
ring can get from m+
mhm
Just to be sure, skittish, necrotic and teaming are not a thing anymore, right ?
And this is what I mean about skipping the wind ele and doing crawth with birds
how h o w
So uh.. I got some good tech
what?
the
fuck
share or report
is it giga bug or what?
is this... insane on bolstering week
My MDI route.. cant share atm or it'l get fixed 
Not even m0
hey guys, as im trying to learn rn im trying to get a weak aura that would announce in my guilde chat (to not spam pple) what spell i reflect but with a clickable spell ID int he message, anyone has smth like that ?

Ppl were talking about them earlier...so I bit the bullet. Logitech g600 mmo mouse is on sale for $36 on Amazon just saying.
congrats!
i would say im not a fan of logitech anymore, but of all their mice that's the one ive had the least issues with and the price isnt outrageous anymore
will take some time to get used to, this is certain, but you'll get it
Kind of a bug. There are just event checks that can be bypassed. Doesnt require some m0 prep.
can slowly add binds to it as you get comfortable with others
I wanted the Corsair but this is half the price and I've already got all other Logitech peripherals lol
ngl logitech gpro wireless is goated cant tell me otherwise
They really don't eliminate any buttons though.
502 hero is the real MVP
Yes
yea i used to be crazy into logitech until i've had 2 product failures in under a year and their GHUB software might be the worse thing ive ever used
? wdym?
damn playing DPS evoker is weird when used to Warrior & Melee
does it have anything to do with doing dragon before bird?
cant even spellqueue my main dmg ability cus its channeled :>
Nope. That's another skip you can do entirely lol
in the little time ive used my evoker that alone is the hardest thing to adjust to
its why i like my ele, lots of instants and spam casts, i can handle that
every time i start a pack, i do Flame Breath into Eternity Surge, and i never have a target and i just spam click Eternity Surge with nothing happening 🤣
also ele has Spiritual Walk or whatever
which you can cast during cast
yea
The route idea pretty much has good lust timings. At least when I tried it. Need to actually do it in time trials if academy is one of the dungeons.
would fix so much
anyone know if i can do tab-target in a macro?
My initial problem is I have too many keybinds, and I'm trying to better manage stance to maximize dps. So I guess I eliminated one button with the stance macro,
/cast [stance:2]!Defensive Stance;!Battle Stance
no clue why demo has to be on the gcd
do you want help with reducing the keybinds or? 🤔
someone mentioned similar items with shift modifiers and i liked that, like charge and shift charge to shield charge
yes
I'd like to do a bunch of stuff like this where, before casting specific abilities I make sure I'm in a particular stance.
#showtooltip Shield Wall
/cast [stance:2]!Defensive Stance
/cast Shield Wall
also, dont pass on the scroll wheel
no
that is bad
i have 9 things on my scroll wheel lmao
i don't see the benefit of the mod keybind macros over just having two keybinds, can anyone enlighten me
i would assume to reduce bar bloat but that's about it
i did it back in the day with Slam/Whirlwind, when i dont need to see the CD of either spell
but for Prot i dont
you need to see the two CDs anyway right?
not always, but yea, its why i have intervene on my bars but don't have it bound
i wanna see it
could you tell me why, sorry its not obvious to me other than if I am currently in defensive stance with that macro it drops me out of defensive stance.
because you dont always need D stance when you shield wall
when you Shield Wall, you are already almost unkillable, so dont need to be in DStance also
its like putting 2 bandaids on a wound
Counter point. If you're going to use Shield Wall why wouldn't you want to maximize DR? Example is Heroic Raz where the more damage you take the more damage the raid takes.
I could see it being overkill for M+ low keys
then in that case you press both buttons
^
but usually on a pack in M+, if you pop Shield Wall, you survive it just fine
and do more dmg
you're not technically wrong Kan, it's just giving up control in favor of ease
and i would prefer control
plus most of us are dps whores, D stance we use begrudgingly when we need to
I only pop both if needed.
They yelled at me about this earlier I've swapped out of defensive stance for like 5 minutes total since Christmas and now have to change my evil ways.
I have too many buttons I'm maxed out on control, and I'm trying to automate a little bit.
I'm in the same boat Sham, my parses are shit because I never used battle stance
I'm trying to manage it
We have been doing it wrong then
yea
i use D stance so little that i dont even have it bound lmao
hi all does anybody have a weakaura that announces the linked spell in chat that you reflect?
i click that shit like it's 2005
let me log in my warr, and i can give some pointers on keybindings
i have it gimme a sec bro 🙂
that is crazy man, I'm only currently only doing like +17s and Heroic Raz + 2 mythic bosses and I am honestly terrified of not being in defensive stance haha
i think it's false safety
thanks would be great
99% of the time you dont need it and just think you do
so you just roll battle stance all the time in m+ or only when youre popping sw?
you'll learn when you do though
yea it feels like a mental block
I edited the weak auras for tracking shield block and ignore pain to give audible queues when the auras hide (when sb and ip drop off) and it's helped me a lot maintaining my uptime on both the last day. Hearing "iiiidot" when I let shield block drop is motivating
B stance almost all the time
pretty much only D stance on something like Crawth or 3rd boss in TJS
all the time
Or last pack in TJS after you get aggro
any trash packs you d stance on or just roll out
The one time I swapped to D stance in M+ was for 21 Hyrja beam when I was unsure how hard it would hit
trying to think of an ability that I do not use on bosses that I could spam as a substitute for a battle stance confirmation key... like hamstring maybe?
last pack you just reflect first, then you can SW if you want
then you can spell block
and most of the shit is dead by then
But like, Battle and just use your CDs if you actually need to
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
unless you pvp you dont need hamstring
confirmation key? what?
I use it to prevent the add that spawns in SBG from moving away too far and into the tombstones on the ground when the boss isolates you to kill your add, not a very important use case but its all I can think of
I have my stance swap macro bound to 2.
i hamstring the add on 1st boss Nokhud 🤔
and 1st boss SMBG
he wants something to auto b stance because he's auto d stancing
https://gyazo.com/66752035144e21edb6402ae35582c637
worth picking up more vers making them all more balanced or just keep sending the haste lol
i just shield charge it and storm bolt if needed
i have a WA that rotates when im in Dstance
thanks but this one only announces the name of the spell right? it doesn't link it in chat
the description etc
Neilsen, what I mean by confirmation key is a key I can press... which activate another ability... but would also shift me into Battle Stance if I happen to not already be in battle stance... but would serve its other function also
it does
haste baby, haste
this one is good also
shows how much dmg you reflected
Example:
#showtooltip Shield Wall
/cast [stance:1]!Battle Stance
/cast Hamstring (OR ANY ABILITY)
i figured haha ❤️
sounds kinda dumb also tbh
just click the stance key?
I'm running out of keybinds lol
why does it need to use a global?
you're trying very hard to fix a problem you've created in teh first place
sounds about right
what is that macro lmao
Hey, it might be a stupid question but I have nowhere to ask. Im kind of handicapped and can't really press buttons efficiently. My biggest issue when playing prot war is pressing Ignore Pain and Shield Block separately. Is there a way I can macro it to some other spell and not lose too much or something similar?
if im honest, you're probably better off just always sitting B stance and just do like i do and click D stance the few times you've learned you might need it
these are my keybindings
like P2 3rd boss TJS or for Crawth, etc
35 keybindings
doesnt rly feel that bad tbh
but i have stuff like Kick on G, panda kick on Shift+G
ok I'm just not thinking about this correctly then. I need an additional modifier to hit that number reliably.
the wowhead m+ guide is so much different from the previous one
i use Ctrl, and Shift
right now I only use ctrl
and i have Victory Strike bound into my Charge
so 26 total, + F1 through F4
If you're not handicapped in a way that prevents the effective use of your feet, look into usb foot pedals. About 30 bucks and can open up a lot of options for you
Is there some tips I can get to avoid getting poopoo dps players in my pugs?
So far it's: avoid hunters
i use 1-6
Ctrl + Shift
QERGTY FVZX ½ (might be tilde for you)
What key level?
and F1 F2 F3
I'm trying to get my rating to 2k so around 15s
13-15
is all I really wanna do rn but seriously the dps just throw
had a CoS run where some warrior just kept standing in all the frontals
most do yes
I dont understand but i have had a lot of hunters that perform way worse than they should with their rating and ilvl, its by far the biggest standout
10 deaths to him, mis timed by not even joking, 16 seconds
At this point in the season, sub 2k players at 13-15 keys are going to be a big crapshoot. Unless you wanna look every one of them up, there's not a whole lot you can do
i have a 421 Whetstone if it helps
I would go as far as to say you aren't gonna find many solid players sub 16, since that's what drops concentrated essences and the vast majority of "good" players arent running anything below that
guys should I go for the frostfire belt or the helm?
also fwiw CoS or SMBG you might as well take about 4 levels off the key, since its the ones the players who know they arent that great will sign up for the most
for my second embelishment
its in the pins, but belt gives you options with the ring
plus its not a tier slot
Windnarbenschleifstein! Pog 🙌
+1 this. Also as a solid tank you can carry these keys largely yourself
ive done my time in cos, i got whetstone and the ring
from the screenshot it looks like you have 36
Yeah CoS is really easy but not when dps are constantly throwing themselves in fire AND doing shit dps at the same time
should be more than enough tbh
it looks like you have a LOT of grey talents bound to random shit
CoS took me a while to get the pulls for the 2nd boss right
I accepted a 2.2k guy and he was god awful AND toxic
I was going to the docks for trash but found someone always pulls
so was just wasting time getting extra %
im pretty sure he doesnt spawn on the same spot
and that enforcer spawn I found if I pulled the boss right back to that open door
he can spawn on the same spot
it's wiped me too lol
yea I need to get dumb shit off there like fishing
pretty sure the problem is if you pull the bottom enforcer, to the top enforcer
the top enforcer can spawn after
thats what i did in the start
Theirs a wa for next enforcer I don’t find it rn
now if i just have the bottom enforcer in the bottom, i never have issues
like this
I should probably figure my routes out rather than winging it, even tho I generally end up near the final boss with around 100% count anyway
when I watch a video people just do the same shit as me anyway
All the dungeons this expansion are pretty linear
For cos it's largely irrelevant
You can literally press W through any dungeon this season and get full count I'm pretty sure.
Agree, I have zero routes downloaded... but I'm only doing +16/17 atm
I was doing baby pulls today because people were dying and it's bolstering and the guy blames my route, not the fact he died 3 times on the same pack at the start of CoS lmao
just pull the dragons to fix % 😄
You can pull literally only what's in front of you and then before second boss you can just grab whatever to fill %
I've not had any % issues outside of HoV tbh
HoV and AV are the only dungeons where route and pack size can really screw you
Do you avoid the first big guy that goes left and right right after first boss in HOV? Or pull him for %
HoV timer is almost impossible unless you do one specific route with a lot of heavy pulls
Avoid him, go right and drag that pack up the stairs into the next pack
its a joke after nerfs.
ok here is a decent one, anyone please feel free to give feedback.
#showtooltip Ravager
/cast [@cursor] Ravager
/cast Avatar
/use 13
Ravager, 1.5m cd
Avatar, 1.5m cd
Decoration of Flame, 2m cd
Specifically for aoe pulls in M+
Cool that's what I usually do. I get hunter pack in Fenrir side but don't know if I should be avoiding it too
HoV now you can save a lot of time by double pulling worgs
Where you couldnt before
Yeah nice true
I haven't done HoV this week but
is that triple pack at the start scary af now?
with bolstering
I got it on a 15 last week in time with no struggle so I think I should be fine this week hopefully
I think HoV timing was only an issue past like 17 tbh
the tankbuster was removed.
I would do so many dungeons if I didn't get burnt by braindead puggers every time
they still leap.
No more ferocious bite oneshotting dps
Is it normal for a dps to sim literally 3k more dps than me at the same ilvl lmao
A lot of dps would get trucked by it because they'd cc them after leap then stand there
Avatar is a BASE CD of 1.5 minutes. It is reduced by Anger Management to much shorter than that.
So it would start wrecking closest melee
I mean, still gotta tell people not to stun dominators in smbg 20+
Do you think it would be wise to keep it on CD or wait and use it to burst down an aoe pull?
Alas here we are, lol
is whelp shell any good for us?
s'ok
"I will hold my interrupt for the dominator"
Lol
those will be the only times they interrupt in a dungeon btw
I feel this. I'll wait until the very end and yet they will kick it in the last .5 seconds
Next 18 casts will go off
wouldn't the solution to be to use Method Raid Tools and just track their interrupt cooldowns?
only use SR when their shit is on cd
boy i feel strong now
I run mostly with a group of friends and those clowns will still kick when I call spell reflect
Nice pyke holy fuck bro
also i suggest dirt farming for spark
maybe i got very lucky but i got a spark in 15 minutes
bois don't tell anyone else
You can't reduce the CD of Avatar if you don't keep it on CD.
I told my guild about world boss 50% progress thing and bliz patched it 20 minutes later, one of them is a snitch
but i think even without raid rings, frostfire is better than shield of hearth
read my mind tbh
Are you using the companion wrists pyke?
That chest trolling you bro
I've used these so fucking much but I pug a lot and have to compensate for shit players
no
but i'll get engi wrists
what are those?
agree
I dropped the tier chest for dathea, is that not considered the best play in terms of stats? Haste/Vers?
Thanks Nielsen, I just wrote that ❤️
hands are worst
i drop them for those
wait like the sparks for crafting?
Hey do we change any talents for new patch?
but tbh my trinkets are garbage
what's the best trinkets for raiding/m+? is the wowhead trinket grading accurate?
i couldnt get a whetstone or grieftorch
lol when I searched goldsteel
UBRS is back on the menu I guess... in all seriousness where do those drop?
sbg
ty
manic grieftorch/whetstone for offense(99% of the time), all-totem for mixed, whispering incarnate is also decent if your raid needs versa buff
feel free to correct if anyone disagrees
bout to test out these macros in a NO+17
did you fix your keybinds?
some of them, it's a constant working progress imo
harder better faster stronger lfg
try to send your screenshot again plz
sorry if its been asked a bunch, but is there updated imports somewhere?
for talent builds
wowhead raz build was out of date
main difference from wowhead is dont run Thunderlord
What should i update first with my first concentrated infusion. Weapon/ Shield / Belt
how so?
shield
the copy gave me an error saying it was out of date
ah probably because of the Avatar change 😒
oh blizzard
Ty
just click the talent tree view inside wowhead, and copy it over by looking at it
main thing from wowhead talents is change Thunderlord to Battering Ram
and ur good
thats for m+?
It's interesting that we are taking battering ram instead of thunderlord. I would have thought better availability of a defensive like demo shout would be a good thing
Ah nvm
Thought it was m+
Battering Ram is also good in M+
Thunderlord is kinda bait
the defensive value is small
We using sophic for m+ or frozen ?
Returning after awhile. What's my best move for grouping ranged up, e.g., moving a caster over to the pack.
yes
Battering ram does a lot of things - snap threat, SS resets
there is arguments for both
How come the defensive value is small though?
thunderlord often doesn't even get you additional relevant casts, timing just awkward sometimes
its 10-15 sec less CD on demo shout, which is only 8sec 20% DR
compared to a 40% uptime on 20% AS+AD
No
I'm new to tanking this season so trying to work these types of things out
you have more than enough Defensive tools already
Demo shout is not a big Defensive CD
use it together with your Dragon Roar
Demo Shout + Dragon Roar
wait 45 sec
Demo Shout
wait 45 sec
Demo Shout + Dragon Roar
you wont get this if you have Thunderlord
it will desync
I guess for almost all circumstances you will have it up for almost every pull in a dungeon
you save it on some boss fights where you need any defensive you can get but mostly you send it on CD for damage
how do i get to battering ram everytime i click off thunderlord i get stuck at the place 1 point to move down
take punish, and remove Battle Scarred Veteran
You have the middle capstone that's why
also this talent build looks like youre on your way to Temple of the Jade Serpent
got it ty ty
cause of spell block?
Spell block juicy on some things
spell block and double wall
HoV and TJS build isn't it?
yeah, tough as nails + imp wall are more generically powerful if you don't literally need spell block to live
i run Impenetrable Wall + Armor Spikes on everything other than Temple
but its rly a personal choice i guess
Impenetrable Wall makes ur Shield Wall CD insanely short
i don't really know the differences came over from bear main and just picked a random key build off wowhead
is allied wrist of companionship good for m+ as well as raid?
Use the build in the pins for keys
yes
free stats
its same same as other embelish
all of them ~1%
Lariat + Allied Wrist means you can go Prot + Arms without swapping
this the other side do i need the 1hand spec node?
YES
ditch the point after shockwave
wait is it actually troll?
intervene is only particularly useful occasionally
it's nowhere near as good as 1h spec
i don't ever use it
also i dont run Intervene, so could put that in Sidearm
