#

a lot of guild will start looking for one when they hit dathea

slim dove
#

yes. play dps with tank OS

tender cove
#

fuck, i shouldnt have said anything and just keep playing while looking for a guild xD

modest gulch
#

at some point you need players on your level to progress... maybe 2200 could have been 3k io... but being in the fucking doldrums of trying to find a non-shit guild that is where I ended up.

slim dove
#

you lose nothing by leaving

#

you can pug 8/8 heroic every week easily

modest gulch
#

easily

#

such bullsht

quiet hearth
#

at what point Healing % wise would should this be replaced with ilvl difference ?

modest gulch
#

you need coordinated pugs

#

coordinated grou[s

slim dove
#

410+ link heroic ach for invite

#

ez

#

done

modest gulch
#

that is 100% bullshit

#

nope, people get carried and are shit

slim dove
#

then you boot them and replace.

#

shitters show themselves at dathea.

tender cove
modest gulch
#

you said "easy", booting and replacing is work to churn through bads

slim dove
#

our definition of hard is different.

void marten
modest gulch
#

churn is not easy

void marten
#

i'd try to get 3/8 at least

#

some pugs do 3/8

#

very rare

quiet hearth
#

its okay 420 Cutting edge or no normal invite

void marten
#

but they do

modest gulch
#

so here is the situation I am in

void marten
#

also i would play arms if i were you

#

you can get spots on kurog and sennarth with arms

modest gulch
#

I cleared heroic with my guild last week, BUT no clear is scheduled this week because of schedules and shit

#

I am told to pug

#

I have no fucking confidence in any pug to complete heroic rasz

#

why should I right?

slim dove
#

then do 7/8 and dont stress about it

dense drift
#

@slim dove best answer yet

modest gulch
#

the problem with that is that top guilds look at the number of heroic clears you have, if I skip a week clearing 8/8 I'm fucking myself in terms of marketability

#

marketability just means.... willingness for random unknowns to invite you.... I gues

unborn sable
#

i have 1h + lariat , what else is a must or really good to craft for m+?

dense drift
#

yes if you are looking to jump ship the you have different problems...if you are looking to be the best tank your guild has then be that and when the chance comes level up

modest gulch
#

if you are looking to be the best tank

#

I am trying to be as good as i can

#

indifferent of the guild I am current in

#

idk any other way to exist

dense drift
#

we are agreeing, you should be the best you can be, and if that is worthy of getting into a better guild you will, if not then you won't

modest gulch
#

XL has given me the opportunity to do stuff, so I've done stuff.

#

I think that my current guild matches my skill level.

dense drift
#

then you are in the right place...what are we arguing here?

modest gulch
#

doesn't and never will mean that I'm settled or that my skill level is stagnant.

misty pagoda
#

I’m looking for a active guild lol discord preferred

dense drift
#

if your current skill level matches your guild what are you expecting?

#

your skill level is always going to be the ceiling

modest gulch
#

sorry, I think the original reply was for very different reasons and we are currently just left with actually nothing to disagree about.

dense drift
#

lol high five, i might have come into the discussion late

modest gulch
#

scrolling up might find some shit, but its not substantial

dense drift
#

whatever the previous discussion is i love being able to disagree and still get along so kudos

tender cove
#

Might aswell just quit at this point and resub for next tier 😦

void marten
#

lol why

broken crag
#

424 helm or 421 shield, only have 415 for both atm

warm plinth
#

Hmm, are you actually killing the boss that that tier piece comes from?

slim dove
#

hes not, tier helm is raz

warm plinth
#

Probably the helm then

#

One of the only times I would probably give up the shield

broken crag
#

ok ty!

ionic fern
inner rock
#

what is corporeal tear on details damage done

#

oh the ring, nvm

misty pagoda
#

Quick question , for catalyst. You’re able to craft 1 tier piece on each character?

#

Or just 1 character ?

#

Nvm

#

@ionic fern hi ily

ionic fern
#

Good morning Ghash.

#

I'm trying to figure out which Ranged DPS to lvl for m+. 😦

warm plinth
#

The only one I would definitely not recommend is devastation. Sooooo boring

#

I enjoy frost mage but it's not exactly meta rn

woven trellis
#

eh

ionic fern
#

Je, mage has been fun previously.
I'm thinking about Balance druid, mage, Shaman.

woven trellis
#

whats happening with bloodmallet

#

is there a bug

ionic fern
warm plinth
#

I've never liked balance but the new version seems...more interesting at least. I never cared for having to be forced into the different eclipses

warm plinth
#

which isn't a thing now

tulip kelp
#

Would you guys give up 45 ilvl for 4pc?

warm plinth
#

Can you just link us the page you're looking at

ionic fern
woven trellis
#

same for ST or 3t

#

ah

ionic fern
#

Avatar got its ID replaced.

woven trellis
#

i see

#

i was like

#

eeeeeeeeh

ionic fern
#

I'll update it.

tulip kelp
#

What about spriest for ranged dps? They look hella fun

ionic fern
tulip kelp
#

They can pump plus mass dispel super handy, grip, etc

ionic fern
#

Je, but i need some easy spec.
I'm at the age where i can only perform well with ONE spec.

#

So my alt needs to be braindead.

warm plinth
#

Sounds like BM hunter is the play then

#

Very easy, very mobile, fairly high APM

limpid anchor
#

Balance is kinda fun and pretty easy while having huge utility

tulip kelp
#

Haha yeah BM just spam

#

Plus you get to tame some animals

limpid anchor
#

Only caster that doesn’t feel complete shit

warm plinth
#

And yeah, you get to tame cool pets

#

Frost mage is fun wdym 😦

tulip kelp
#

Btw, all you 4p enjoyers... is it worth 45 ilvl? That's how much I'd drop to replace my chest and legs for 4p

ionic fern
#

If only i could give my alts all my primal chaos and 418 primals.

tulip kelp
#

I even have sparks to give

limpid anchor
warm plinth
#

Ehhhhhh. That's kinda borderline. If it wasn't chest/legs I'd say yes (for keys) but those are two high stat pieces, but I personally would have trouble dropping that much on those two pieces specifically.

limpid anchor
#

I just blame the heals

tender cove
#

omg... I didnt even see this. The circus was really going all in today...
RL, tagging entire guild...."can everyone that needs HC loot send me a msg including which specific items. I only care about trinkets and bis slot tier 👍 i don’t wanna see people running around with 5 set :WutFace: Also if you send a droptimizer for the baseline duration patchwerk fight that would be great ty"

tulip kelp
#

It is chest and legs lol

tender cove
#

So not only do i need to motivate my bis? I now need to provide sims proving it

#

hahahahah

warm plinth
#

I know that's what I'm saying

#

If it wasn't chest legs, I'd say yes

ionic fern
#

We have to provide droptimizer for every raid.

#

👀

warm plinth
#

But I wouldn't drop that much on those two pieces

#

This is the only thing they've said so far that actually makes sense

tender cove

On Kurog atm. 😦

we haven't killed raz heroic yet.

ionic fern

Ah.

#

Okay.

#

Which reminds me..i have to go get Diurna killed on HC.

# ionic fern We spent the whole evening on Sennarth.

We wiped on Storm and Grim and struggled on many otherd. Only first bosd and broodmother were first try (and a rogue got the ring with a 100, I only rolled 95, and he didnt even equipt it…) Im glad that we vanceled raza after a few tries. I hate these semi internal, mostly pug raids. After yesterday Im close to give a shit on the raid trinkets and heroic set legs (last I might catalyst at someday). Pugging raids is even worse for my nerves that pugs in m+ 😞

ionic fern
#

Je, pugging is horrid.

For the final trash pack of temple is there anything you can do besides just try to rotate your CDs the best and pray the dps pop cds?

Sometimes it doesn’t show that you lost threat on the caster I noticed or maybe it’s rndom and I made it up. But since I am taunt and ht these caster dudes no dd died

And fun fact, if you kill the dominator, the add can get stuck on that person yep

#

it's a pretty neat mechanic

ionic fern
#

At least something hard in that dungeon outside of the first boss.

solar crown
#

What do you do with the 1st pack after the 1st boss? One of the dominators are not 'close enough', so do you just interrupt him to get him to move closer, then chain interrupt that one add, or do you do something else fancy?

cedar trench
#

1 kick target

#

is fine

solar crown
#

aight, that's what we've been doing as well, just wanted to make sure there wasnt something obvious i was missing. thanks!

#

my favorite part of sbg is fighting the worm for hours

ionic fern
#

Oo ya.

#

We did that on a 24 for 5m.

#

Super fun.

cedar trench
#

or your group being majority ranged and not standing in melee :)))))))))))))))

solar crown
#

or worse, the ranged healer doesnt, while the rest is melee dps

#

Its a free dungeon though, its just not fun

ionic fern
#

As long as you get past the first boss, it's free*

eager phoenix
#

kind of like they split up m+ map pool with 4 new + 4 old. sadly, the old dungeons are Not Good and kind of grateful they went with cos/hov/tjs/smbg as the least terrible

ionic fern
#

There's just a huuuuuuuuuuuuge disparity between the dungeon difficutly right now

#

That's the issue.

unique shale

yo is anybody know Are you able to block damage while you are using engineering flamethrower ?

ionic fern
#

We had a DPS AFK for 5m on a 22 SBG and also had a wipe on tyrannical there.

#

Still timed it.

#

Meanwhile if you wipe 1 time and/or fail a pull in AV/HoV the key is over.

sweet summit
#

HoV still that tight?

unique shale
sweet summit
#

kinda weird seeing HoV being one of the "harder" ones lol

eager phoenix
#

I mean I did Legion TW on an alt for a couple of quick lvls and when I thought about revisiting dht, brh, votw i feel it would be a terrible m+ experience

solar crown
#

Or just skip the RP and let us just right-click how many of the adds (of the 4 in the room) we want to fight at the same time (instead of throwing beer at them)

You need a clean UI

autumn marsh
#

Check vsync

No addon bloat

autumn marsh
#

also if monitor is freesync and you have that turned on

strong forum
#

And yeah check settings

autumn marsh
#

check windows settings for refresh rate too

sand mason

My ui is pretty minimal. I’ll look into some settings

chilly brook
#

I went dorf

strong forum

Also check if your monitor is actually setup to max fps

As soon as I leave the main part of valdrakken, 140 fps

chilly brook

yea graphics quality is set to "7"

strong forum

Ye thats the best

#

It's visual max

#

There's no diff between 7 and 10

Except that 10 eats 4x as much processing power

#

For no reason

autumn marsh
#

Wows performance is really strange though, I had it running on a 4th gen I5 with a 750 ti this week on setting 3 locked at 60 fps

yea go to center of valdraken and I'm at like 80-90 fps

Optimisation is down the drain for most games right now.

Absolutely nothing

There's a big difference in the WA use between the two benchmarks caused by me removing a cursor circle WA between the two benchmarks. Overall tho I had about half the CPU use with the new setup. Running some i5 from 2018 and a 3060 ti, so CPU is definitely my bottleneck

Cuz iirc

Tanks die last

So they get to use it more often

And grieftorch doesn't do more dmg just because it's used by a dps spec

Specially in raids

DPS players benefit more from stat stick/stat proc trinkets as they scale more with stats. Raw dmg-on-use/dmg-on-proc will have the exact same DPS benefit for your raid/group no matter if its on a dps or tank

It's the age old tale of people pretending that tanks can't use dps trinkets and that a trinket that does flat dmg irrespective of class or spec does somehow more dmg on a dps than a tank
