But im shit at math

jade trench
#

Shockwave lets you giga pull though.
Pull, Stun, leap, SW, Stun, leap

deft mortar
#

TR is 11% of my dmg done is CoS 21

fallen pulsar
#

^

jade trench
#

Gigapulling is max damage

deft mortar
#

In 540 seconds u cast TR 6 times with 90 sec CD and 9 times with 60 sec CD

full monolith
#

50% dmg incr

jade trench
#

GL doing 60k in ST

deft mortar
#

thats 3 more TRs in a span of 9 minutes

#

so yeah 50%

#

thx danooh

#

Damn

#

so 33% of 12% thats 4% of my dps is that talent

edgy bone
#

thank you

fallen pulsar

Sorry I don't mean to ruin you +13 dreams

Any1 got a decent dmg breakdown of 22+ key?
I feel like I am missing out on something … not happy with my dmg

My 4p uptime … dumping too much rage into IP and using too less revenge - but only feelywise

full monolith
#

75-80 is max for me atm. Will defo post a log

fallen pulsar
#

yeah 75-80 is normal

#

90 is excellent

edgy bone
#

at the bottom see

full monolith
#

Ye I made a WA myself too. Its so annoying and hopping but still no 80+ uptime 😄

bold turret
#

If your not falling into the trap of trying to keep max IP uptime you’re probably doing fine and your dps being low might be that your not having bigger / clean pulls… it’s something else to consider

fallen pulsar
edgy bone
#

my vanguard determination was supposed to be 90%?

#

but its 40

fallen pulsar
#

revenge more

edgy bone
#

ok

bold turret
#

Your not revenging enough my man!

edgy bone
#

ok dps harder

#

thx for changes guys

fallen pulsar
edgy bone
#

been doing 40k overall

#

but soon will be 60k

#

every dungeon

fallen pulsar
#

I believe in you

deft mortar
#

Ur overall dmg is very dependent on group btw

tropic gorge
deft mortar
#

and wheter if its tyra week or fortified

bold turret
#

Also on big pulls it’s worth remembering you should alternate TC and revenge if you’ve talented into that talent (can’t think of it’s name)

deft mortar
#

If all your dps does 80k in single target fights

tropic gorge
#

392 ilvl

deft mortar
#

You will pull off 65-70k dps ez

#

if ur dps do 50k dps u will dramatically drop

#

Because the diff between our cleave and ST is vast

full monolith
#

My overall is lower that it is supposed to coz dps always fishing for my spell reflects!

fallen pulsar
#

like only becomes worth once you cross like 8 targets

deft mortar
#

i basically dont click shield slam on big pulls lol

#

Only if i am out of rage and TCis on cd

fallen pulsar
#

ah

bold turret
#

I’m assuming your using the priority correctly yes you should be SSing

#

I meant you don’t spam revenge

arctic marten
#

Wowhead lists the rotation priority as Shield Slam > Thunder Clap, but I heard Thunder Clap does more damage than Shield Slam against 5 or more targets, is that true?

bold turret
#

Think you still want to SS for rage regardless

tropic gorge
#

ss is bread and butter. always use it

#

More rage = more CDs = more DMG

tropic gorge

i dislike cos greatly.

sick sentinel
#

i made the error

deft mortar
#

I dont think this applies to the duration your ravager is up

full monolith
#

We do only fish for procs (that big SS/TC dmg incr) on ST, dont we?
I forgot that talent name

deft mortar
#

unless ur IP spammin hard

sick sentinel
#

i accidently over pulled

slim dove
#

help me out

arctic marten
# strong forum More rage = more CDs = more DMG

Shield Slam does a fixed amount of damage in any target count, while Thunder Clap scales with target count. Surely there would then be a number of enemies where Thunder Clap is simply better?

fallen pulsar
strong forum
#

5+ during avatar

#

7+ outside avatar

#

You can't ignore rage generation

#

It's not just raw dmg output

arctic marten
#

Is that 5 or more or just more than 5?

strong forum
#

5 or more

fallen pulsar
#

yeah, damage wise TCLap is better very fast, but tclap doesnt reset, SS does

#

and gets you a ton of rage

fallen pulsar
#

rage lets you do many other things

slim dove

including beeg damage

Would hate prio apply if average MS is 140 btw?

Or is haste prio for 0 MS

whats the horde shield?

fallen pulsar

just spam shield slam while your GCD is rolling

strong forum
#

That's.

fallen pulsar
deft mortar
#

So I can sim for 450 more dmg

fallen pulsar
#

my latency isnt great so I can't react SS fast, spamming SS while my GCD is rolling catches a lot of resets instantly

#

I didnt realize warcraft log has parse percents for dungeons

#

pleasantly surprised all my dungeons have a 94+ 🙂

#

ah, I thought the best% column was for your best run

strong forum
#

Parse% is just how much higher your keylevel was

strong forum
#

It's not respective to performance

#

Go to dmg, not points

fallen pulsar
#

ah rip

#

I'm trash

#

23k on tjs seems sus

#

I know I've done better

oak echo
#

and even the damage is always sus because such a small % of people log keys

#

logs will show you the entire dungeon time, not just combat time like details

strong forum
#

That's still not dmg done per keylevel

fallen pulsar
#

Guess I should actually start logging m+ if I want these numbers to not looks so sad

strong forum
#

Those parses are still just parse%

#

Those are mine righ

#

But it doesn't show the full picture still

mortal brook
#

Like this

fallen pulsar
#

individual runs show key% @strong forum

strong forum
#

Yes

#

Exactly

fallen pulsar
#

ez 99

strong forum
#

The overall page counts current ranking at all times

#

It doesn't lock in anything

#

Steve has r1s cuz he is r1

fallen pulsar
#

ah rip

#

still trash, I am

mortal brook
#

It means at least a single key% had a 100 at some point so my frontpage shows 100

#

If it was in a 5, and i rolled that 5, and all my others are shit, frontpage shows 100

strong forum
#

Yeah and I've had 100 34/36 keys

#

But now none of mine show up

#

Doesn't work like that

fallen pulsar

nome you're doing 34s and 36s???

ohhhh

Liek look

54k dps in a +4 as tank

#

Is only a grew parse

#

Cuz the key itself

Is greyparse

mortal brook
#

Cuz i sorted my frontpage by key% not overall yep

strong forum
#

But on the actual leader board of +4 azure vaults I'm R1

#

Ye now you gotta click the 3 weapons on top

#

Then you see key% logs

flint needle
#

What set pieces we want to play pref ?

strong forum
#

All of them

mortal brook

It means nom has at least a single key% at 100 at some point so his frontpage shows 100

i mean stat wise

All 5 of them

it is my understanding that there might be a new set piece come the next raid

Those of you doing AV route where you get 100% before jumping down do you do the whelp/fury group with the tree is or is that too big?

fallen pulsar
#

but I dont think thats accurate at all lol

#

nope

strong forum
#

Irrespective of key level

fallen pulsar
#

pug only/no group, and less time since getting 2500

strong forum
#

Sure, but if you did a +5 and have the R1 dmg log there, it'll show on front-page as 100

#

Even if you did a +20 where you grey parsed

#

You can check your individual dmg runs

#

And see where you got 100 on which keylevel

#

Front-page is yes

#

Ye

She always says it needs to be nerfed. 🤣

#

Dungeon is hot garbage. They need to cut the bird packs that spawn and reduce the timer or something. That bug makes me rage.

#

this fookin' guy

oak echo
#

whats the bug with the birds? never actually had an issue in there other than the whole thing with the wind goal not being usable if you wipe

#

oh 😦

daring marlin
#

In my run the second big bird didn't spawn in the last pack.

oak echo
#

oh so like not all the birds are coming down correctly

daring marlin
#

We rezoned and it never spawned

oak echo
#

they don't spawn

#

they're always out there

Hunter even used track beast. No birds anywhere. Shit was whack.

Nope

cinder nova
#

I assume stat, then haste/crit gems

warm plinth
#

I prefer haste>crit gems because I'd rather have more static haste but any combination of haste/vers or haste/crit is just fine

#

Yeah you want a primalist in there somewhere

#

Though it doesn't need to be on lariat ofc

warm plinth
cinder nova
#

Should I avoid putting it in Lariat? I'd figure a crafted item that'll be recrafted at higher and higher would be ideal.

#

That way you're not replacing it as much.

warm plinth
#

There's some arguments to be made for certain dungeons due to boss mechanics but generally not required.

#

You can put it in lariat; that's where mine is. It makes sense to put it there since you won't replace it

#

I swear ever route I take for COS ends up hell. I pull a smooth route too slow and I’ve percent, I try to skip literally any group in the first half and the DPS ass pulls and yells at me

undone verge
#

my CoS route is less of what packs to pull and more of a path I walk and figure out the % later

#

cause everything usually gets pulled

warm plinth
#

Pull all of this and you have no concerns of buttpulling except maybe the 3 mobs inside the building near the 2nd beacon

hidden ether
#

I do that and the fucking DPS are dying to frontal in every big pull

warm plinth
#

And maybe the sentry before the bridge but that's a non-issue anyway

hidden ether
#

Also how does that not go way over on %

warm plinth
#

I mean you don't have to do big pulls. Just pull those mobs. I just selected shit to show which things to pull

#

With the construct after first boss that's 60.5%

hidden ether
#

Then only enforcers?

warm plinth
#

You pull the first pack outside, the 2 pack next to it, both packs of imps

#

Other than that it's wherever enforcers/items happen to be

hidden ether
#

Hmm ok any tips on controlling the front pulls? I feel like I have to move every 2 seconds to dodge a frontal then the DPS start dying to them

warm plinth
#

So you're at 60.5, the "always" packs that I just mentioned are another 15.8%, putting you at 76.3 and then the last mob is 6.3 putting you at 82.6. The rest is enforcers which are 5.3 each

#

Even doing 3 enforcers puts you at 98.5 and you generally don't have to do 3 of them so you have room for item packs

daring marlin
#

DPS are very smart in CoS.

#

Bunch of moths and frontals are the flames.

hidden ether
#

The group I just ran with ass pulled 5 times died 22 times to frontal and then flamed me at the end

daring marlin
#

I have a marker on my head even and the melee still dance around me

#

Shit's hilarious

warm plinth
#

There's only 3 frontals in the entire dungeon. The only one that can be kinda dicey as a melee is the quelling strikes because you generally do harbor pull which has a lot of them. If they're still getting hit then fuck them

jade trench
#

Default UI should bring up a separate health bar for a focus target right?
Mine doesnt and I can't figure out what's suppressing it.

hidden ether
#

I try and aim at wall but once you have 2 on you dodge the first can’t control the second

warm plinth
#

For quelling strikes you want to go kind of in a circle with your melee in the middle

finite scarab
#

at the end of the day u cant stop dps from being baboons

#

only they can

warm plinth
#

My top notch image

#

small circles = melee, star = tank, lines = quelling strikes

#

Remember you can always move back where older quelling strikes were too

#

Pad fun right

hidden ether
#

They wiped on imps, because I spell reflects and they charged in right before the cast went off. And neither DH stunned the group

warm plinth
#

If they were out of range before the cast started, it doesn't matter if they go in before the cast goes off

#

So they were already out of position if they got hit

hidden ether
#

They should either 1 know that or 2 int the cast themselfs

warm plinth
#

Honestly I don't even bother to try to SR it. It's not needed and just causes issues in pugs

hidden ether
#

odd tree
undone verge
#

sometimes I do, then I remember the times I accidentally intervened the other tank and died on jailer

warm plinth
undone verge
#

but shield charge doesnt grant shield block or revenge, only gives you auto attack dmg and does more crit strike dmg

#

plus I wouldnt want to get extra shieldblock, rage, last stand, block chance or more demo shouts

#

I suppose I can drop one talent and take the challenging shout

warm plinth
#

And then drop shield charge and take the other ravager talent

undone verge
#

kinda feel like leveling a prot warrior without taking a single talent kinda like the dude who levels a panda through herbing and mining, or the guy who levels without killing anything

warm plinth
#

This is my priest

winged turret
#

when I'm looking at melee hits taken and which of those were taken with shield block active, where exactly do I look on warcraftlogs?

#

am i looking at casts divided by hits or the tooltip that says "blocked/hit"?

mortal brook
#

source aura filters, click the shield block button

#

green is with it up, red without it up

#

should be just above your screenshot

winged turret
#

ah, i see that now

#

I had it toggled to green

warm plinth
mortal brook
#

but also wont account for like, hits you took to the back right

#

cuz you can have the buff up and then eat a silly hit

warm plinth
#

Oh I missed the thing where you wanted ones with block active

#

Reading is hard folks.

winged turret
#

so basically I took 71 hits without shield block?

mortal brook
#

ye

winged turret
#

but only because I mitigated 19 of the total 90 casts?

warm plinth
#

If you hover over the hits column with the aura filter it should tell you how many you blocked vs not blocked.

#

With it active

#

The hits number is times you were meleed where it actually connected (meaning not missed/dodged/parried).

winged turret
#

I'm specifically looking for how often I let shield block off and how much damage I took during those times

#

The number of hits doesn't really matter I guess, I'm more so trying to figure out when and why I let it fall off and how disastrous it was for my health

sick sentinel
#

cos aint happening

#

i give up

warm plinth
feral dune
#

we did it 😬

warm plinth
#

If you go to the events tab in resources, it'll show your health % along with damaging/healing events

#

And you can check and see if you missed blocks during those times

winged turret
#

I know, I feel like I'm just letting it drop too often, and also not using Ignore Pain as much as I should be. Warrior is much more mechanically intensive than Paladin which is what I've mained basically since I started playing

#

Maybe I should just give up and go Brew sadge

warm plinth
#

If you think warrior is mechanically intensive then I'm not sure brew is the right way to go. Brew is harder than warrior

winged turret
#

Oh shit is it really? Lmfao nevermind

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, Warrior is generally among the easiest tank specs atm

#

You just need to press a decent amount of buttons

warm plinth
#

If it would be helpful, you can send me a link to your log and I can go through it for you

for this week AA, if we skip the first bridge pat on way to Vex, do we do the the middle pat in dragon area? or do we always skip middle pat?

i have a route adding up to 100.67, wondering if theres anything better

lone eagle
#

Recommendation if you want something less mechanically intensive than warr is probably bear, but depends on the content you're doing

#

tbh BDK kind of less mechanically intensive as well

#

Has some prio system optimization but the basic gameplay loop is largely on GCD and a vibe with the amount of resources they currently generate

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

you have to know what you are doing as tank too or things dont work out

#

like how today went for me

#

it can be really tough positioning everything so its not cleaving your team

tulip kelp
#

Is tricks a talent for rogues now?

#

I swear I haven't seen rogues trick me in forever

warm plinth
#

If you don't want to do that first pack on the way to Vex, you can do the 4 pack in my picture and skip that and be 1 force over

warm plinth

im pretty sure if it were, that it would be in the rogue main tree near the top

the big V pack dragon boss #1 in nokhud, always pull first and always lust?

#

like this week, might make one more hail mary attempt at io

summer eagle
#

I dont always lust it personally, on higher keys it might be necessary

oak echo
#

I always do it first and lust

warm plinth
#

I think it's a good idea to lust it on higher fort because the charges are pretty nasty

strong forum
#

You get Lust on CD early, fight a dangerous pack, and you won't need Lust on boss cuz it's literally irrelevant

#

How do you guys setup the first pull in halls when you get all 3 packs ? No matter what I do some dps just rips aggro early on

reef holly
#

Last two times I asked if the group wanted to do this, healer tells me: “this isn’t MDI let’s calm down” 😂

#

Probably should’ve left group at that point..

#

Idk, pugs fuck that pull up a lot tbh lol

sick sentinel
#

tried av 13, no idea how the hell it happened but fighting first ring trash BAM all the hall way spawns in on top of us.....

I mean, that sounds like a big pull for bolstering week, that dragon's gonna melt some faces.

Literally every shaman shocks the last pack before I’m here

#

Then I don’t know what to do they spread to shit

reef holly
#

I just tell dps to wait before we start

maiden panther
#

Yeah but that doesn’t help

#

I can’t control other peoples computers

reef holly
#

If it’s just one pack I’d just charge one of them and thunderclap/revenge and then charge back

#

I usually do that when a pack is further away and I don’t have aggro, from a butt pull or something

OK to use outburst on TC in Avatar?

#

with UF?

#

been sending on SS like in SL

#

but not sure if its diff now

turbid shuttle
#

with high target count using outburst on TC is fine. in avatar, using it on TC is fine even on medium target count. not sure the exact number, but probably something like 7-8 out of avatar and 4-5 in avatar.

#

Can someone help me understand when its time to run Into the Fray vs Heavy Repercussions?

#

in a raid

warm plinth
steel juniper
#

Is there an increased risk of dropping shield block? I'm still relatively new to tanking

urban portal
#

no

#

you have to mess up bad for that to happen

steel juniper
#

I dont understand why anyone would ever run Heavy Repercussions then

#

In this instance im talking Mythic Kurog

warm plinth
# steel juniper I dont understand why anyone would ever run Heavy Repercussions then

You run Heavy Repercussions when you are tanking something constantly because you can't have 100% uptime on Shield Block without Heavy Repercussions until very high haste levels (35+% before ItF). In most raid encounters, there are tank swaps that make it so you have a chance to recover Shield Block charges when you aren't being actively hit. That being said, it's possible that HR might still be a damage increase (especially on single target) in those scenarios because higher uptime on Shield Block means more uptime on 30% damage increase to Shield Slam. I don't know enough about the raid to know what the fights look like to make that call, however.

fallen pulsar
#

If you’re brood tank and cant get 100% shield block uptime with itf, then HR is very helpful

steel juniper
#

Ok that makes sense. I'm in the habbit of just always having shield block up whether im tanking or not. Like I said, still relatively new to tanking. So there is some increased risk of dropping shieldblock with ItF assuming I have that habbit.

when do we go dps loot spec for vault?

warm plinth
proud dock
#

oh tru 421 siungle hand weap, dont wanna roll 2h wiht dps

fallen pulsar
#

Yeah tough as nails or whatever the talent to the side of bolster is called is like 1k dps on my sims

#

And thats usually what gets dropped for bolster iirc

#

Can be wrong on that tho

warm plinth
#

yeah

steel juniper
#

Im just trying play as safe as possible while my comfort levels increase but I dont want to pick pointless talents either. Im getting whalloped in P2 Mythic Kurog and thats the biggest difference I see in my talents compared to the masses

fallen pulsar
#

You could also be a gigachad and drop indom to take bolster alongside tough as nails (but you will lose on a lot of passive sustain)

warm plinth
#

HR is fine to use anywhere and is the go-to talent in M+ anyway so less adjustment between the two types of content.

fallen pulsar
#

I’m dumb

warm plinth
#

That's what I said 👀

steel juniper
#

If you guys were to drop a talent for Battle scarred Veteran, what would you choose? I know the talent is frowned upon but it seems useful while learning encounters.

fallen pulsar
#

Dunno what you normally run, but I would drop second shield charge sub talent. The one most bottom left

#

But bsv is really buggy

#

And can proc at like 70% hp

warm plinth
#

I wouldn't tbh. Just to put it bluntly. It doesn't work properly.

fallen pulsar
#

So it wont actually save you when you need it

steel juniper
#

fair enough

warm plinth
#

It's not a cheat death either, even though people call it that.

fallen pulsar

You can in fact, still die okayge

median tulip
#

I've never run it, because nothing out there has put me to the point where it seems useful.

sick sentinel
#

i have never hated cos more than i do now

#

i cant stand that place with a million frontals and everyone dies to nothing

jade trench
#

There's a dungeon tools addon that makes noises every time there's a frontal to dodge. It's pretty much mandatory for me in CoS because the colours arent varied enough.

tulip kelp
#

The only frontal to dodge is Quelling Strike right?

sick sentinel
#

shockwave for 1

warm plinth
#

There's only 3 frontal in the entire dungeon

sick sentinel
#

some kindofcleave dunnowho

warm plinth
#

Quelling Strike, Charged Smash, and Shockwave

#

That's it

tulip kelp
#

I mean shockwave is so obvious and doens't really kill you unless you're pulling shit with it

jade trench
#

They're pretty constant though. who cares how many different kinds there are.

tulip kelp
#

Charges Smash also super obvious and you can just move out

turbid shuttle
#

yogo do you have littlewigs? if so, go in to the dungeon settings -> trash and set a custom sound for those 3 abilities

#

i use the bike horn personally

#

put a sound on every frontal in every dungeon that you want to dodge (i.e. hew in HoV etc.)

jade trench
#

^ super helpful you'll never have an issue again

turbid shuttle
#

and then learn to be aware of when you're in a pull with a mob with frontals, and point them at a wall

sick sentinel
#

one thing is at the big bridge on boss 1 id get that and 2 to right of it for lamp

#

and that trash always killed someoneevery key i ran today

scarlet musk
#

Which pair?

#

M+ tank

turbid shuttle
#

are you turning the mobs?

#

like if you pick a direction and face them, people will adjust

#

but if you're just flustered and turning everywhere, the melee will have a hard time playing around you

jade trench
#

Does anyone have experience with Titanic Throw? Does it pull undesired mobs?

turbid shuttle
#

also don't get to the pack on the right after bridge by 1st boss imo. there's way better places to get count

turbid shuttle
jade trench
scarlet musk
#

Right now I am running Deco/all totem but not sure if I should switch it up

turbid shuttle
jade trench
#

I like the idea of doing more with the guardian but what are you skipping later?

turbid shuttle
#

everything that I can in 2nd boss area

#

I never never never pull the mechanical 3 pack

#

either on the bridge or that pats by 2nd boss. you can just run behind 2nd boss if you need to get around between sides

jade trench
#

Yea Im not doing the bridge pat or the boss pat either

turbid shuttle
#

yeah then just minimum required stuff in 2nd boss area

#

only what gets you a clickable

#

and then if I need something to get to 94 count I grab it

tulip kelp
#

It can get tight tho

#

With the pats, etc.. have had so many groups butt pull

#

If you're skipping a lot

turbid shuttle
#

the patting 2 pack succubus always gets got, because 2 of the summon miniboss clickables are over there

#

and then imps always get got

jade trench
#

Yea I guess i'd rather not think about the clickables, clear al of that except the bridge pat and boss pat. You can also easily kill the guardian after the first boss while running the whole time.

turbid shuttle
#

also never clear the house by 2nd beacon (before 1st boss)

jade trench
#

You go left around?

turbid shuttle
#

no just walk

#

but people need to be aware of the doorway

tulip kelp
#

With the mana sabers?

turbid shuttle
#

yeah

#

1 guard + 2 sabres in there I think

tulip kelp
#

Yeah GL.. thats like 80% chance to get pulled by group heh

turbid shuttle
#

I put a skull ground marker

tulip kelp
#

I just started pulling cause I'd rather pull it when ready to stagger the jump then have someone pull it at a bad time lol

turbid shuttle
#

those sabres are brutal

tulip kelp
#

Yeah that's why I'd rather pull to desync the leap

turbid shuttle
#

I would always skip them in any scenario I could

#

I'm telling you it's super easy to skip

#

the pack by the beacon you pull back to where the mechanical is

#

then you just walk

jade trench
#

yea fair, even if it is though you have to stand and kill the guardion after the first boss with extra mobs when you could just be killing it on the move. It's not really a gain.

turbid shuttle
#

you pull an extra 15% count in to it to make it efficient

#

and you still barely need to stop

#

it's free

tulip kelp
#

Then you gotta make sure you got someone alternating kicks lol

#

Otherwise charging station goes off

turbid shuttle
#

there's only 1 kick?

tulip kelp
#

You can't get all charging station solo

turbid shuttle
#

I think you're confusing what I'm pulling in to it

tulip kelp
#

Ahh

jade trench
#

There's nothing wrong with anything you're saying, people just dont like change haha.

turbid shuttle
#

you need 3 kicks on mechanical. 2 if you have a shammy/udk

#

but there's 2 other pulls with mechanicals. if you can't kick them you're already in trouble

tulip kelp
#

He said Guardian..which is the dude with the charging station

turbid shuttle
#

yeah that's what I meant. I just forgot the name of the guardian

jade trench
#

I never see boomies. They make kicks trivial with that solar beam shit.

turbid shuttle
#

I'm talking about doing this

sick sentinel
#

no

#

never do this

turbid shuttle
#

you can also just do skip if you're not killing that at all

tulip kelp
#

Thats the guardian I'm talking about lol

turbid shuttle
#

but if you're going to kill it, at least make it not shit

cloud umbra
#

we like to pull the top half of that into the boss and skip the guardian. Its not bad at all

jade trench
#

Pap explains why he does it, it makes sense in his route. It's just odd.

turbid shuttle
#

maybe in 24 you can't do it. I've done it up to 21 easily

tulip kelp
#

Yeah I'd much rather pull that pack into boss

turbid shuttle
#

I don't see what would make it harder in a higher key, since the mobs are free

jade trench
#

% is so free in CoS idk why we're even discussing it

turbid shuttle
#

I'd rather do mana worms than a 2 pack by 2nd boss that's all

cloud umbra
#

most of the time you can chain the 2 pack into an enforcer or the mini boss when they are low.. if efficiency is what you are aiming at

turbid shuttle
#

this is the way I generally do everything up to/immediately after 1st boss. some stuff gets chained (like the patting sentry in the 1st pack)

#

I chain 2 packs in to enforcers also whenever it's convenient

warm plinth
#

Why do you pull the pack on the left of the stairs going to 2nd boss? Easy to go over count doing that

turbid shuttle
#

this is what we were just talking about. because it's free. I never go over count. dunno

jade trench
#

Its such an easy pack, good % and lets you skip some stuff.

turbid shuttle
#

once I get to 2nd boss area, I just do minimum packs to get the buffs, and then whatever else is required to get to 94

warm plinth
#

Yes, that's a very good lust pack. Gets lust on CD, don't need lust for 1st boss

turbid shuttle
#

also for TJS, I think lust 2nd boss > lust 1st boss, but if you lust 1st you prob won't have it for 2nd, so lusting trash before 1st boss (even on tyran) is a good play

jade trench
#

I usually just pull the left 2 packs of 1 down the stairs and lust there. They're just far away.

warm plinth
#

Yeah, I think we usually do 1st pull, 2nd boss, 3rd boss at 70%

turbid shuttle
#

yeah I think that's the play in all weeks

cloud umbra
#

i dont think the 3rd boss is worth it at all.. pack before last boss on fort imo

turbid shuttle
#

even on fort, I think I'd rather lust 3rd boss p2 than last trash pull

warm plinth
#

I mean it's your call. I'd prefer lusting 3rd boss

cloud umbra
#

true. we have so many buttons for jade serpent kick. quad tank busters every 12 seconds now as much haha

warm plinth
#

idk dark claw is fully avoidable with stops and a bit of kiting, not to mention spell reflect

jade trench
#

The pack before the las boss in TJS you're usually kiting anyway. Once you get that down its not so bad. Listing on a kited pull is pretty hard to keep aggro.

cloud umbra
#

with spell block/walls up you can outlive lust

turbid shuttle
#

last pack TJS is super punishing if you don't counterplay correctly, but once you do it gets much more manageable. it's not really a numbers thing

#

whereas 3rd boss TJS is a pure "can I phase this boss before I run out of buttons to press"

scarlet musk

Hi! I think i have some kind of mess in my stats. 4% versa is wrong, right?

#

Should i change my gems to versa haste, and change the shield to versa haste instead of versa crit?

#

Now i'm running with full haste gems

ionic fern
#

You don't need Vers.

#

🙂

tame jasper
warm plinth
#

All stats are good stats hmmNod

tame jasper
#

When you write a long explanation and then mighty Mwahi ansers in short -_- 😄

warm plinth
#

We like haste more than the other secondaries but as long as you're getting more stats, you're good.

uneven ice
#

Is this bad stat distribution?

warm plinth
#

There is no good or bad stat distribution

#

You can tank any level of content with any stats

uneven ice
#

I mean, as i can choose gems and stats on shield, i don't know if i'm going too nuts into haste crit

warm plinth
#

You're not

#

Generally you gem/enchant haste or haste/crit or haste/vers

tame jasper
#

ilvl (for primary stat) > haste > crit >=vers > mastery and you are fine

odd nimbus
#

im concerned with haste,does it worth to sacrifice some ilvl for more haste?

uneven ice
#

Ok, so going full haste gems and crit haste on crafted is good

warm plinth
#

No, we don't sacrifice ilevel for stats. More stats > "better" stats

uneven ice
#

I was worried looking at rio for M+ tanks and all running about 14% versa

warm plinth
#

Yeah a lot of people fall into the vers stacking trap

urban portal
#

There’s no magic number

#

14% vers isn’t achieving what 13% is already doing

uneven ice
#

Also, i have another prot warrior friend, who is going 14% versa, and our healer says he's easier to heal

#

(might be that he presses more buttons than i do, ngl)

tame jasper
uneven ice
ionic fern
#

And there's also a gap from 4% haste to 13% haste and 4% crit to 13% crit.

tame jasper
ionic fern
#

In order to go that distance they are choosing to sacrifice some other stat.

#

What's your point?

warm plinth
restive crown
#

how do i check if i am using enough or too many IPs? and if i am using SB enough?

ionic fern
#

Logs.

uneven ice
#

My point is: 4% versa may end on being squishy?

warm plinth
#

It will not

uneven ice
#

Or is not that impactful

warm plinth
#

YOu will die a billion times to gameplay errors before you die once because you didn't have x% stat

ionic fern
#

I'm running 22+ keys with ~3% versa.

#

🤷

#

It’s around 5% dr

That’s like 1/3rd of a key level

Oh lawd, that's a lot of wasted rage

#

Especially during cooldowns, you need to press IP a LOT to prevent overcapping rage.

It's either more IP OR..looking at your overall which is very low, use Revenge more.

ionic fern
odd nimbus
#

19-20 key lvl 40k-50k overall is it good?

warm plinth
#

Yeah just to put that in perspective, I do 35k overall and I'm like 386 or 387

odd nimbus
#

very insecure about it

restive crown
#

so i should go arms stance also for fortified trash? and revenge more ya

ionic fern
warm plinth
#

You're not using CDs enough either. Shield Charge should line up with every Demo Shout. TR and Ravager should line up for every other Demo Shout. Which means that you should aim for equal casts of Shield Charge and Demo Shout and about half as many TR/Ravager as Demo Shout casts. Remember you want to have Demo active when you use your CDs (other than Avatar) because you get a 20% damage boost from it.

ionic fern
#

AA for example on a +20 is a solid 80k+ DPS dungeon.

warm plinth
#

We operate on a big feedback loop. The more you use your CDs, the more rage you generate, the more you have Avatar, the more damage you deal.

warm plinth
#

warm plinth
#

Crawth is a good boss to have defensive up the whole time because there are only brief periods where you don't have the bleed on you

Shield block also blocks spell when you activate spellblock

also take spellblock in that dungeon

Did it on a 20 yesterday and can confirm what the other guys said. But in my opinion it‘s not on you it is on the dps. Go in get good threat on them and when cd‘s are gone you 🏃‍♀️.

By the time I ran first sha fell over and pack was chill because they were pumping.

Still confused that the untimed 21 gave more score than this timed 20…

vital oak
#

also, depends on if you have 4 piece.

bleak skiff
#

Oh yea true Im dumb -

#

Ok then I guess I should get it to 90% then

#

Thanks

amber siren
#

Oh yeah true tier makes a difference

bleak skiff
#

I got 4 piece

#

Its just now on forti in 20 I started realising if I shouldnt spam more ignore pain

amber siren
#

It's not something you're really aiming for in terms of a number, just as long as you're not rage capping then you're good

bleak skiff
#

Because magic dmg is really killing me

#

Yea, okay thanks for help !

vital oak
#

spell reflect and spell block are you friends.

bleak skiff
#

Yea, Im using them pretty much 😄

drifting needle
#

Shield Charge

uneven ice
#

thanks!

craggy kelp
#

sorry,what stats to put on lariat?

#

haste and versta right?

jolly granite
#

Or haste crit

#

Depends what you need

craggy kelp
#

so wich 1 as a starter

#

i need everything

hardy snow
#

haste+anything

jolly granite
#

Crit helps your parry and Vers helps your heal+ dmg

#

I started with haste Vers and since some time I shift a little bit more to crit

craggy kelp
#

ye i think ill go haste+ versta for now

jolly granite
#

Just a little think

#

The proc from lariat takes the second stat from the gems

#

Haste+ Vers = it procs Vers

#

Vers+ haste= procs haste

#

which trinket is better to use: decoration or incarnate icon? Icon is A+ tier according to wowhead guide, but it sims so low for me, even if I select that someone else has it in the group

amber siren
#

you'd be using icon in raid, then whatever (probably not icon) in m+

craggy kelp
#

ok@jolly granite

jolly granite
#

Icon is strong in every content

kindred prairie
#

does it proc more often if more people have icon?

jolly granite
#

Most tanks and play it + an on use trinket

amber siren
#

You're using it to buff yourself and other icons, yeah

#

in M+ you're not really getting that benefit or benefiting others unless you're all running icon

#

Something you can sim for

jolly granite
kindred prairie
#

I mean, if in 1 scenario there is only 1 dps that can provide crit buff, and in other scenario there are 10 dps that can provide crit buff - does that buff proc more in the 2nd scenario or no?

warm plinth
#

Icon is very meh unless others have it.

#

Therefore in keys it sees a lot less value than in raid.

#

It's literally just a vers stat stick if no one else has it. Nothing special.

kindred prairie
#

yeah i was simming it for m+ and it just sims low even with all buffs available. Forgot that I also buff others by using it tho

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's very much a group increase more than a personal increase.

kindred prairie
#

btw, any idea if eranog ring is still "very rare" when rolling vault loot?

rough egret
#

Its 50/50 chance

#

You get it or not

#

😄

kindred prairie
#

im not sure if I should try to target it by speccing into dps spec when opening vault, as it reduces the pool by 2 items (just from eranog and council mythic)

rough egret
#

Yes that will increase chance by a bit

#

You should anyway open wault as fury/arms

#

For dps trinkets

hardy snow
#

unless you aim for 421 shield from M+ vault

rough egret
#

^

kindred prairie
#

yeah I aim for a shield

#

the only dps trinket i'd probably need is whetstone

rough egret
#

Do you have 418? Crafted?

kindred prairie
#

got hc grieftorch with leech and mythic decoration

rough egret
#

Cool

kindred prairie
#

whetstone would be nice to replace decoration with in m+ maybe

#

but its such a small chance to get it from vault imo

rough egret
#

Same as geting any other specific item 🙂

#

Idol from NO is also nice

kindred prairie
#

how is granyth's enduring scale btw? cant really sim it as it needs u to take damage

#

but it also does some damage

rough egret
#

Its meh

#

Not a dps trinket 🙂

#

Absorb is overall small value

#

Dmg aswell

#

Also its rng so decoration is better

eager phoenix
#

cant control the proc timing makes it bad. i would aim for all-totem + whetstone for keys

rough egret
#

Cus you can plan it

kindred prairie
#

it procs quite often tho, no?

cinder storm
#

Scale has a low ppm

#

Cobalt ring has twice the ppm, if you use both, cobalt would mitigate more

eager phoenix
#

decoration is not impressive, small absorb shield not much better than using IP

kindred prairie
#

ah, yeah i was sort of comparing it to cobalt ring. that ring procs like hell

woeful trellis
#

I Hope for a totem drop next week 🥺 I rly wanna test it in M+

#

Running whetstone/ bigtoe

cinder storm
#

I have totem, it's a good set and forget trinket

#

Still looking for a whetstone tho

kindred prairie
#

im hoping to get eranog ring anytime soon. should synergise very well with grieftorch + decoration

rough egret
#

Maybe from DF dungeon event ill get some of that raid juice 🙂

kindred prairie
#

I have the belt too yeah

cinder storm
#

I hope they don't add a second life trinkets next expansion, those really suck

#

Or next season

hardy snow
warm plinth
#

It's a damage trinket. You use it on cooldown

#

The absorb is like one IP, it's not a defensive trinket

jagged pier
#

its a meh defensive trinket

#

and a meh dps trinket

kindred prairie
#

more like 3-4 IPs, no? it gives 80k absorb twice, which scales with amount of enemies aswell

jagged pier
#

it also loosing value the moment u hold it longer than the cd

jagged pier
#

its not just 80k absorb

#

it reduces damage by 55%

#

so one use of IP which is ~48k

#

is actually double that in terms of mitigation

hardy snow
jagged pier
#

im not good at explaining it in words but its not 47k shield

#

its vastly more

#

it used to be 90%

#

imagine that now

vital oak
#

I thought it absorbed half of the damage you take, up to the strength of the shield. is that incorrect?

woeful trellis
hardy snow
kindred prairie
#

isnt 55% better than having 90%? 90% sounds like it would get drained instantly and then you take more damage. 55% allows you to keep it up more, you just take slightly more damage

#

havent played tank in legion so idk

jagged pier
#

anyway all this being said mwahi did find somehow his flame was doing 150k shield on ST somehow so it gets effected by stuff

#

but still
