I dunno if you guys can help me, but I was watch plkawar twitch and there is this addon that calls out when cds are cast on you (like PS, bark, etc), Is that a weakaura or addon?

It's a voice

Thank you!

#

Is his discord free? or is it a sub only?

sick sentinel
#

free

#

most discords for large studio sized companies are free

balmy narwhal
#

oh sweet thank you

#

and he has a list of his addons too!

sick sentinel
#

youtubers discords is hit and miss

woeful trellis
sick sentinel
#

small youtubers need the support and hide discords behind patreon or similiar paywalls

#

large youtubers over 100k have it for free lots of times, but human nature and RNG

balmy narwhal

Yeah! Well bless all of your souls 😄

what the hell....

#

Would you trade sidearm for pain and gain?

jagged pier
#

u can

#

🤷

#

your talents

woeful trellis
#

Nope

cinder nova
#

No, p&g isn't going to keep you from dropping dead most of the time

#

Sidearm isn't going to be the difference most of the time, but damage is damage

#

Doing more passive damage > surviving harder

tulip kelp
#

I doubt the damage from sidearm would ever make you survive harder lol

deft mortar
#

Nah like no way this stupid rogue can get aggro fro mme in 2nd germinate

#

Delibaretly waited to TR and Ravager after 2nd germinate as they spawn

#

Fker has less dps than me

wooden widget
#

Don’t rogugus have tricks?

#

Or is that a specific spec

subtle sparrow
#

They do, not sure if it's spec dependent

wooden widget
#

If a rogue or hunter pulls Agro it’s not really your fault unless you’re really miss playing imo

#

P sure it’s a short cd too

tulip kelp
#

Nah supposedly its a talent they gotta take now and its not super accessible

wooden widget
#

Ah

tulip kelp
#

Was wondering why I hadn't had it cast on me for so long

astral bane
#

Can someone guide me to the right direction? I have a 412-414 prot warrior, I don't think im terrible but i know for a fact i can be performing better; from DPS'ing to tanking. I feel like i get spiked more than i should and I feel like 20s should be pretty "easy" but sometimes i just go from 100 to 0. Obviously, i try to keep IP and SB up as much as possible. I just dont know what im missing.

high drum
#

sb shouldn't be something you try keep up

#

it should always be up

astral bane
# high drum it should always be up

i would estimate its up 98% of the time, sometimes there are disconnects where its down for like 1-2 seconds, because SB hasnt recharged or my shield charge is on CD

tulip kelp
#

Should be 100% of the time in combat.. the big spikes in damage can very well be from letting it drop for 1-2 seconds during big pulls

jagged pier
#

logs

#

we cant help u through feelycrafty stuff

astral bane
sick sentinel
#

few things you want to look for every log

#

CPM cast per minute

#

blocked hits, and then just, where you could have got more dps

true thicket
#

yo guys, i just recently gotten back into prot, so im 380ish ilvl, is it better to craft a 392 wep with ferocity or the frostfire belt?

sick sentinel
#

weapon slot is more valuable

true thicket
#

thanks yogi

sick sentinel
#

shield and weapon is you never ever skimp out for lose Ilvl

thin silo
#

for Heroic Broodkeeper, to the triple-egg groups mean that 3 people channel staff, or that one of the staff channelers has to kite their beam over multiple eggs?

true thicket
#

cause my current wep is only 382

#

but with the embelishment i guess?

sick sentinel
#

you don't have to do an embellishment when you craft a spark

#

its just an option

true thicket
#

yea, but would it be good?

sick sentinel
#

the embellishment can be put on a future recraft which will take less materials and no spark

jagged pier
deft mortar
#

can u have 2x of the same emebllsihment

sick sentinel
#

never tried but assumption is no

deft mortar
#

I cant buy wow tokens so my crafteds are all shit

true thicket
#

yea u could have double mastery for example

jagged pier
#

@astral bane 3) ypur also not using stuff on cd sometimes send everything on cd

#

No u take both

#

U drop sof or SD

#

Node

#

Well i did that

#

I dont give up battering

sick sentinel
#

plz don't bring back sanguini depths into mythic + rotation

#

my execute button is lonely

Without the skips

it gonna be fun

#

EZ key, but i hated that plce

#

i hated it from a mechanics and design not art,

warm prawn
#

is there a place for high (20+) M+ routes?

true thicket
#

is frozen devo good for like lower keys?

jagged pier
# astral bane 1) Should i be using Shield block even when im not actively tanking? 2) Good poi...

U can do that and should but u always should have 2 charges of shield block back for when you are tanking.
No thats fine but u can do that very easily and its not something you actually do expect on certain bosses and mechanics but generally IP is ussed to dump your excess rage if your going to overcapp on the next ss or tc cast. Revenge should be used alot along side IP
No u send on cd othereise u loose value also the naturally line up on their own every other cast

sick sentinel
#

im still on that wafting devotion

sick sentinel

looks like fangs addornments can't do criticals

echo canyon
#

if i get hit by 350k from a lasher toxine by treeboss is this tank fault ?

mortal brook
#

the poison needs to be cleansed

echo canyon
#

ok

#

we had no cleanse in grp

#

poison

sick sentinel
#

coordination failure

#

just look at healers talents or ask them, and if they say they don't have it, ask why, and if they can do it or not

tropic tangle
#

def want poison cleanse in AA

echo canyon
#

aye 🙂

covert aurora
#

how good is seal of filia duty, tghe fire shield ring? is it worth waiting a week for 4 piece to get high level ring now?

sick sentinel
#

i know 408 to 411 is 2k io, which i now have, but is 411 to 415 another bump in io?

love it when you have to recraft something 7 times before it procs inspiration on 37% :>

RNG is horrible sometimes holy shit 🤣

sick sentinel
#

whats your guys thoughts on the 2 necks

#

i just saw 800 haste and never looked back personally

vernal drum
#

is the wowhead mythic plus build good to start tanking lower m+? ive got ksm on fury and running with friends alts now as prot

finite scarab
vernal drum
#

or just use the one from the pins

#

sorry shoulda checked those first

daring marlin
#

On all but one crafted piece that was a one and done. critcake

finite scarab
daring marlin
#

Of course the one tap was crafted ring.

finite scarab
#

most others took like 3 or 4

tulip kelp
#

Sometimes I wonder if those guys be lying about the % to get your business

daring marlin
#

THE CHEAPEST ONE

finite scarab
#

i mean guy was using his own mats after first craft so i dont really mind what his % is

#

he did say it was like 25-30 cant remember

silver ice
neat gyro
#

is there an easy way in logs to check how many violent outburst procs I consumed with each ability, or would I have to manually check?

tulip kelp
#

Someone should make a WA that plays a sound if you use VO on TC

warm plinth
#

That's probably the easiest way

neat gyro
#

yikes 10 TCs to 5 SS on Terros

#

thanks

edgy grail
sick sentinel
#

For halls?

#

For example

grave knoll
#

Either the far right axe thing, pain surpression icon thing or stormbolt

sick sentinel

mmmm

daring marlin
tulip kelp
#

Honed Reflex is dog shit

warm plinth
#

Yeah agree, Honed Reflexes is a wasted point.

sick sentinel
#

for what content

#

so we can put it into context

#

20s and up really

#

like, i'd only drop honed as well

#

then again i love to mash SS button

vernal sky
#

is it possible to live through Searing Blows (rlp 2nd boss) with just demo shout + IP stacked + spam?

mighty valley
mighty valley
vernal sky
#

died through def stance, ip, demo shout on rlp 21 on my warrior

#

sure i can shield wall one and last stand another but i won't have shield wall or last stand for all of them

#

some of them i'll have to live with just ip demo

tulip kelp
#

You can shield wall 1st and 3rd

#

Try to figure out CD rotation before hand

vernal sky
#

i may have used shout too early so it was over by the time i had the stacked bleed

tulip kelp
#

Cause healer has CDs too, evokers have cauterize etc

#

Also don’t forget you have IV, health pot, rally, etc

sick sentinel
#

:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

vernal sky
#

ouch

tulip kelp
#

Heh 80 stacks is tough

vernal sky
#

rlp 1st boss is kinda tough as well i wasn't expecting it

#

i hate it on my brewmaster but the rest of the dungeon is a breeze on brm

sick sentinel
#

charge in then pop reflect right away

unique mortar
#

Do folks stay in defensive stance when running M+, or do we sorta stance dance depending on boss vs mobs?

sick sentinel
#

not generally speaking

#

we use battle 85% of the time

warm plinth
#

Defensive stance is a defensive

sick sentinel
#

its for when you know you are going to take boat loads of dmg tank killer boss or mechanics

molten ruin
#

Can someone help me on Liu flameheart on the heal absorb hit, am i just suppose to take it and wait for healer or what?

sick sentinel
#

and even then, alot of those cases, you can just leave it at battle

compact tapir
#

From the pins - "-TJS 3rd boss - Use SW/SR/Spell Block/DS + IP to mitigate initial hit, followed by IV/LS/Healthpot to help reduce healing absorb. If possible ask your DPS'ers to keep CD's for the second phase."

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

great example of when to use defensive stance mythic + is hyrja knock back phase end ability, shield of light

#

that shit hits for like, 400k on a 15

molten ruin
#

Thanks guys,

sick sentinel
#

so you turn it on, and then you are reducing that dmg by 60k dmg, much easier for the healer to manage

molten ruin
#

was trying it jsut wasnt enough i guess

sick sentinel
#

if you're still learnding'd the routes, its fine to keep on defensive till you have bearings

daring marlin
#

I don't get it really

vernal sky
#

people always panic during the laser

daring marlin
#

MF still does basically nothing

sick sentinel
#

my problem is when the laser is already pointed at me

daring marlin
#

bruh LMAO

vernal sky
#

tbh quaking can be nasty during his lazer

sick sentinel
#

and then so, i don't see the change

#

and then i don't see its happening

#

and then el depleto strikes again

#

disband soon ensues

#

its a gamble with mari if the laser goes to the left or the right, so the best advice i will say is get people to go behind after he starts to channel it

#

that way they have time to see the animation start, and react

daring marlin
#

That's not their problem

#

Apparently watching water is hard too

#

I didn't realize that until someone told me about a WA for it

sick sentinel
#

eat a laser is on the player stood in laser

daring marlin
#

Doesn't stop the DHs from dashing through water tho lul

sick sentinel
#

its very easy to avoid once you know what to do

#

it only does a 1 time 360 degree no scope rotation

daring marlin
#

facts

#

did the water pop up yet? okay safe

#

shit's wild

sick sentinel
#

so, if you want to min max, you can watch where it originated from the direction it is traveling, and then stand slightly off to where it started

daring marlin
sick sentinel
#

oribos

vernal sky
#

people are so focused on their rotation they panic when they see the laser

#

sad because there's always enough time to dodge

sick sentinel
#

some people are so tunnel vision they don't even hear the DBM noise and if they do, it doesn't register cuz brain programmed to zug zug dps

daring marlin
#

Show some compassion!

vernal sky
#

tbh i think you can let most casts through unless someone is targeted by void + cast at the same time

daring marlin
#

Good way to make the healer hate you!

#

🤣

sick sentinel
#

put quaking on healer every time challenge also make them hate you

shell ibex
#

does anyone have some experience with "Strike Twice"? gaining some iLvl but bad stats. is it worth?

Anyone using this to replace their 376? Listing a lot of haste tho.

#

Losing not listing sorry

warm plinth
#

I would replace a 376, yes

I know it’s not a good m+ or raiding ring but it’s what I can get haha

sick sentinel
lunar hawk
#

Stupid question but would you guys consider 57k overall dmg in an Academy too low with 410 ilvl? Is it just me or is it low? 🤔

lunar hawk
#

Thought so

sick sentinel
#

you can then put that in paint or PS or just dump it raw

tulip kelp
#

Assuming no wipes on bosses etc

unique mortar
#

I think I was used to the old days where defensive stance increased agro, I don't think it does anymore.

sick sentinel
#

more dmg more aggro

#

loosely translated

gloomy seal
#

Getting firey souls is gonna make me lose my mind.

#

Soul Inhaling is so cringe. I don’t understand how anything could be more cringe.

sick sentinel
#

keep in mind, if an ice mage does 300k crit on his glacial spike, and he doesn't have an out to remove aggro, no invis mirror, you have to deal a bit more dmg to get threat back, rather than if he did a simple icebolt

daring marlin
#

Beware the abyss

limber python
#

why is tank not supposed to pull the first boss on ruby to the adds

warm plinth
#

Unless someething changed recently, no one runs Glacial Spike

#

Because the adds aren't the important part

limber python
#

that doesnt make any sense

daring marlin
#

The adds will naturally come to you

tulip kelp
#

The adds literally come to you

warm plinth
#

You juset let the adds come to you

#

just*

daring marlin
#

as the group should be stacked

limber python
#

dont they naturally aggro the healer if u dont touch them first

dusky canopy
#

No reason to reposition when all the adds run to you

#

You should be able to snap threat with a simple TC

daring marlin
#

If your healer is in narnia you have bigger problems

warm plinth
#

Everyone should be stacked for hailstorms anyway so even if they're on the healer initially, you should be able to easily pick them up

tulip kelp
#

I save ravager for first one and drop it so the whelps will path through it and it still hits boss

#

And have aoe taunt for the second pack

#

That plus clap etc never have any issues.. prob overkill anyways but sometimes you have the random dps that tries to pad by switching to them too early and it helps with that

sick sentinel
#

bomb go boom

gloomy seal
#

After seeing how worthless all the points I put into not failing my resses, I would agree. hah

sick sentinel
#

grenades has been similiarly critcake as well

#

very few of them do real damage and instead pull in, or swap blaster or slow or somethin

tulip kelp
#

I have like 5000 points in alchemy and I still lose massive gold crafting phials lmao

sullen yarrow
#

does anyone play with the puzzlebox? i know the casting time is meh, but its insane burst dmg. cuz i play the other warrior dps specs aswell so i was thinking to use valor points on them.

sick sentinel
#

no

#

just dont

sullen yarrow
#

i use currently the big toe as second trinket, idk its okay but is there something els ? (m+ trinket) maybe the haste ruby trinket? i have already a wheatstone

mighty valley
#

ideally you'd get an alltotem as a passive trinket but that's from raid

craggy kelp
#

So 1h craftable weapon ,is it Seared Slicer axe?

#

or 1h sword?

sick sentinel
craggy kelp
#

ok

#

i tought we have to doa xe,sow as wondering whats the diff

craggy kelp
#

i got 402 shield atm,and my 1h wep is 389..do i go for 405 wep or 405 shield?

slim dove
#

405 wep.

warm plinth
#

I second that

signal ivy
#

Finally got Raz down woot

pallid quiver
buoyant narwhal
#

CC the caster if possible, monk/dh cage/rogue blind etc, pop big CDs back to back and make sure you spell reflect the claws cast, using Ravager to actually pull the pack so you aggro all the mobs at the same time, to reflect all the claws is really nice, then u can stun lock a few casts solo

kite a lot if needed but on fort its probably manageable

fading tide
#

How do you make it so your alts show your mains raider jo score

buoyant narwhal
#

log into Raiderio and set your main character, then your alts should get it, ive seen it take 3-4 days to register your alts sometimes tho

fading tide

I don't know what to do with all this extra rage tbh

proud dock
#

wat do we drop for disrupting shout for AV?

cinder nova
#

People take Disrupting for AV?

proud dock
#

big pulls - frog skip 20+

#

pugs

sand mason
#

what do you need disrupting shout for tho??

proud dock
#

lashers, eles in ring

sand mason
#

The arcane boys always cast on you. Only thing you need to get is waking bane and icy bindings. You can stun, kick, fear, bolt before needing distrupt

proud dock
#

its a pug

sand mason
#

Its a 20

cinder nova
#

Trying to do everything yourself is also a waste of your time tbh

#

Just group with pugs that aren't mouthbreathers

#

Leave keys with braindead fungi

#

But if I have to pick a talent to drop for AOE kick

#

I'd probably drop Bloodborne or Tough, but probably BB - better to see which is doing more effective damage in your keys

#

You can do napkin math on what 10% less bleed would look like

#

And the answer is usually less that Tough, but that has a lot of dependence on what you're doing

round pendant
#

Barely managed to time a +13 AV because the 1900 RIO guys I invited

  1. Didn't interrupt anything
  2. Kept dying
  3. Spent 20 years fighting their shades instead of continuing on
#

Pugging is 98% mouthbreathers my dude

cinder nova
#

+13 is mouthbreathers

#

+20 you should be seeing a higher grade of player. PUGs is always gonna have brainlets at every bracket

#

But the per capita is much lower the higher you go

deft mortar

Buddy I had a 2.9k IO score rogue die to Wise Mari

they just tryna chillin kekw

round pendant
#

I expect people who have played wow before to trust the tank and follow them instead of attacking 1-2 straggler adds that do nothing but jump point to point

deft mortar
#

idk i think not skipping frog area is inting the key

#

but having to do the whelps is abit hard

#

so idk 50/50 maybe

cinder nova
#

Yeah, ngl the conversation drifted away from whether Disrupting is needed in AV when you have so much AOE kick in a full stack into comparing it to +13 lowest common denominator play.

deft mortar
#

its tricky to trigger the whelps without pulling all packs

cinder nova
#

Can't you just kill the whelps under CC

dire matrix

warm plinth

idk frogs are easy count

deft mortar

if u do the frog skip

frogs and the charging npcs dont get cleaved as easy imo

cinder nova

Sounds like more trouble than its worth imo

dire matrix

u can pull huge in froggers

deft mortar

and its ALOT of running

dire matrix

and its not dangerous

just let the frogs die as they bounce to you

deft mortar

its more about the running and the big guys and frogs getting out of cleave tbh

dire matrix

keep running and pulling

deft mortar

The mini golems are just aoe stun ez kekw

cinder nova

Frogs are groupable by just stacking

dire matrix

who cares if they go out of cleave

idk about how its hard to keep them close

they will come back

if u got a boomy

they will die eventually

idk yall know more than me so maybe its a bad skip

its ok

and if you just ignore them til the end of the path they don't even take any time really

depends on the week

I guess I didn't noticed. I got a day job so morning server hits are never on my radar.

I was just saying that we got extra too; it's not just EU. EU also ended up being the guinea pigs for it initially so I'm sure of the kinks were ironed out before we got it too.

"is the wow head guide any goiod???"

slim dove
#

because historically everyone trusts wowhead

cinder nova
#

I don't get the aversion to BT.

dire matrix
#

well the wowhead is meant to be by class discord ppl

#

so

cinder nova
#

It sims higher for me and I rarely gas on rage unless I'm playing full clownshoes and burn it.

#

Wowhead is whoever they pay, mate.

dire matrix
#

simming keys

#

hm

warm plinth
#

Wowhead is not a bad guide other than that particular talent suggestion

mortal spindle
#

hey, other than bdk, which tank gets the most from wf?

vital oak
#

I mean, the wowhead guides are linked in "guides-resources-faq"

sick sentinel
#

also, there is he mentions old set bonus from SL

dire matrix
#

indeed they are

cinder nova
#

Do we know that BDK is the most from WF? Did the WF guy release his sheet already/

dire matrix
#

wf

#

is

sick sentinel
#

since we were still more SL than DF at that time he was testing and writing guide

dire matrix
#

what

#

warforge wrong expansion 🤔

warm plinth
#

Yeah a lot of guide writers don't update as fast as they should tbh

#

Like a LOT of them

#

The only two I know of that update pretty fast are Mandl and Itamae

dire matrix
#

dh one was always great

vital oak
#

pretty sure they get paid only once (if they even get paid at all) and not for updates.

sick sentinel
warm plinth
#

Nah they get paid for any work they do

dire matrix
#

noone pays ppl to run class discs and they update

#

idk

sick sentinel
#

to prevent further confusion

cinder nova
dire matrix
#

all tanks auto

#

so

vital oak
#

I'm guessing but maybe 10% of players at most check the discord. Most just go to wowhead and copy a spec without even reading about it.

cinder nova
#

Different tanks derive more or less value from auto.

dire matrix
#

would u spec in and out of it based on tank/

#

feel like not

cinder nova
#

In S3/S4 PWarr was hands down the best WF tank by miles.

#

It's not about speccing it. It's about which tanks get the most DPS so your raid is doing more damage.

dire matrix
#

is it only partywide?

cinder nova
#

Assuming, of course, you don't have a full stack of melee that get more than the tank.

dire matrix
#

not raidwide

vital oak
#

go brew.

cinder nova
#

It is.

#

It's party.

dire matrix
#

i see

warm plinth
#

Yeah so you generally put the people who benefit the most from it in the "WF group"

dire matrix
#

dont have an enhance i think

dire matrix
#

unluckers

warm plinth
#

I think arms warrior historically has benefitted from it a lot

#

I assume that's still the case

dire matrix
#

yes

#

arms autos good

sick sentinel
#

who is the best auto attacker of them al

warm plinth
#

benefited*

strong forum
#

Arms

vital oak
#

Havoc gets a lot of benefit from wf right now, more than arms i think.

cinder nova
#

There was an enh shaman player that was making spreadsheets of WF value for specs with 2p/4p for in SL, but I haven't seen a new release from him.

warm plinth
#

Probably Wordup?

strong forum
#

Arms gets the most, then rogues, then windwalker, then pwar and fury

#

Havoc somewhere in there too idk

sick sentinel
#

AEP from wrath, as rogue

dire matrix
#

isnt dh with demonbite sick

sick sentinel
#

i know what those are

#

Agility Equivalence Points

#

to use for spreadsheets (early sims)

vital oak
#

I know it's worse than 2h fury but I wonder how much SMF would get from WF totem.

sick sentinel
#

what is the best dual weild auto

#

or is that only rogue and shman

warm plinth
#

Rogues in general probably

#

Slice and Dice is a 50% attack speed increase

cinder nova
#

Reminder that auto damage is a good, but imperfect indicator of who gets the most actual value from WF.

sick sentinel
#

rogue poision on trash mobs can be insane

strong forum
#

So yeah, havoc lmao tier

cinder nova
#

The reason PWarr was so huge was partially because our SS was resetting a lot and that meant more rage, more CDR, more CDs.

strong forum
#

And with new Sims, guardian will get even more

dire matrix
#

interesting

#

thought havoc would be better

#

cuz of talent build

strong forum
#

Get ready for the new guardian Sims

#

They're gonna be wild

warm plinth
#

I assume windfury attacks count as regular attacks for all intents and purposes? e.g. it would cause more potential SS resets?

cinder nova
#

Wild how?

strong forum
#

Yes.

warm plinth
#

due to devastator

sick sentinel
#

BUFF DEATHKNIGHTS BLIZZ

strong forum
#

🙂

sick sentinel
#

not to what we are at , but buff the hell out of dk, and especially bdk

cinder nova
#

Back into irrelevance we go.

#

This is what I was talking about a few weeks ago. If druid paces with us there's almost no reason to take Warr over Druid since you get more utility from them overall.

strong forum
#

What

dire matrix
#

hm

warm plinth
#

Do you? A lot of their utility isn't actually usable because of their garbage class tree

strong forum
#

Wtf utility does bear bring

dire matrix
#

roar

cinder nova
#

Res and roar are big.

strong forum
#

It brings nothing for raid, in m+ it has to choose between knock back or incap roar

cinder nova
#

Roar was literally mandatory for some fights.

dire matrix
#

are you ever struggling for res' in a raid

sick sentinel
#

the utility we provide is we consistantly don't die, and then druid dies all the time out side of incarn

cinder nova
#

Bear has instant res.

#

I'd rather have a bear ressing than a DK having to dump RP on it

sick sentinel
#

so does bdk

warm plinth
#

I mean, it costs rage...

strong forum
#

This is your argument?

dire matrix
#

or pala

strong forum
#

Pally has instant res

dire matrix
#

also isntant

strong forum
#

Bdk has instant res

warm plinth
#

All tank rezzes cost resources

dire matrix
#

war has rally poggers

cinder nova
#

But none of them are pacing with war

sick sentinel
#

it was like a 3.0 or so seconds

dire matrix
#

well thats great for prepatch

#

ill keep that inmind for my raid prog 🤨

cinder nova
#

Also pally has big pp group utility, but I have no idea if that's true with how the trees are these days.

warm plinth
#

It depends on the spec iirc. Holy has a cast time I believe but it doesn't cost anything really (tiny bit of mana)

strong forum
#

S. Idk what kinda copium you're on but bear brings nothing worthwhile utility wise

dire matrix
#

pala has a rough tree

warm plinth
#

Ret/Prot have holy power cost so they get instant

strong forum
#

And to deal their insane St dmg, the sacrifice all aoe dmg

#

And are also mega squishy

dire matrix
#

wonder if the harder raid fights have any aoe

#

🤔

strong forum
#

No

#

The only hard fights are dathea and raszageth

dire matrix
#

think they might!

#

have some

strong forum
#

Dathea is handled by dps

#

Same as rasza

#

The important dmg remains boss dmg

cinder nova
#

I dunno, Nom. Mark the date, but if bears come out clowning you're gonna see warrior numbers drop - mark me.

strong forum
#

Yeah nah

#

Not with this talent tree

#

Dw

dire matrix
#

most people arent rerolling this point idt

strong forum
#

Bear owns hard in aoe

cinder nova
#

My man most people will reroll whenever it suits them.

#

People were rerolling between patches in SL.

strong forum
#

But they still get clowned on defensively by other tanks

sick sentinel
dire matrix
#

i mean sure people play alts

cinder nova
#

Folks just half-ass maintain an alt and then hardswap to it when it becomes the new shit

strong forum
#

Bdk has a better chance at overtaking pwar

#

Than any other tank

#

All it needs is a dmg buff

#

It's already mega immortal

sick sentinel
#

brez

lusty narwhal
#

is there a stat weights weak aura for prot warriors

strong forum

But pwar brings bshout and reflect in nokhud

av reflect is kinda nice for reducing damage intake

slim dove

its really gonna just be sr to cheese a few mechs

Just follow the simple priority list of ilvl > haste >> crit = vers > mastery

And youre golden

lusty narwhal

@strong forum do you think i should be gemming for w/e sims for the highest dps? because atm its teelling me to gem crit/mastery and proccing mastery on lariot

dire matrix

was almost 600k per in a 23 earlier

cinder nova
#

You mean the range cast?

dire matrix
#

yes

#

its huge dps

sick sentinel
strong forum
#

I'd just gem haste/crit

#

Can't go wrong with that

lusty narwhal

gem crit/haste and proc haste buff?

cinder nova
#

It's aight. Obviously worth doing, I was thinking more in terms of debuff avoidance.

strong forum
#

No

dire matrix

i mean

strong forum

I proc crit buff

dire matrix

dmg good

strong forum
#

Cuz it doesn't matter

slim dove

we dont reflect last boss nok to save the healer a dispell

its for 1m+ dmg 😄

numbers may vary

its fucking cracked

In nokhud 26, Andy reflected 13million damage just to bosses

its crazy

you melt the 4th boss

rotund cliff

get a war dps in there and reflect all of them kreygasm

dire matrix

on my arms warrior i play 4fun with friends i do that

i taunt 4th boss

and sr

cinder nova

I've never seen 1m+ on last boss reflect am I missing something

dire matrix
#

same with 2nd

lone eagle
#

Honestly AV is the more egregious example defensively speaking

dire matrix
#

its a dot

#

you are missing something

lone eagle
#

Nokhud is a ton of damage

lone eagle
#

but Infused Strike on Leymor is BRUTAL

#

Dragonstrike is atleast dispellable

dire matrix
#

i got 1.2m one reflect in a 22

#

that might of been fortified even i cant recall

strong forum
#

It does 300k upfront, then ticks 300k every 2 seconds or smth

cinder nova

Must be why. I don't see the damage numbers ticking it.

dire matrix

high tyranical its gonna be dealing omega dmg

You can see it in details

lone eagle

is it amped by ava and demo?

And soon tm on logs aswell

They're finally permitting SR on WCL?

Any tips for Kokia Blazehoof in RLP? Never had a problem wit hthis boss before but the healer cant keep me up with the stacking debuff. Searing whatever its called

sick sentinel

according to 2400 ish + bdk, "bdk has really shit dmg is whats holding me back, and i want alot of versa mastery for big deathstrikes even though guides say use bonesheld haste build"

when u can just gem more haste

For the same benefit

dire matrix

makes actually 0 sense now u mention it

But perma

why u dont gem vers

why no vers flask

for the 16th time

ive had people on voice be liek wheres ur vers flask

warm prawn

Does anyone have a good resource for high key m+ routes?

@strong forum what primary gem do you use?

dire matrix

haste surely

sick sentinel
#

hes also pvp on side too, so i know versa is powerful in arenas some how???

strong forum
#

Crit

#

Cuz it's the one I can craft

dire matrix
#

lul

sick sentinel
#

but he thinks versa will solve all his keystone problems

dire matrix
#

yes if you can gain 20% vers per key level

#

it will solve your problems

strong forum
#

Vers is the pvp stat

dire matrix
#

he is infact correct

strong forum
#

In pvp its factual to be the best stat

dire matrix
#

crit is bis gives u parry

#

parrying dot applications is bis

#

cant change my mind

#

also big dam

#

number go big

#

me happy

#

my crafted gear is haste vers for some balance tho so idk

sick sentinel
#

guys hear me out

dire matrix
#

all my normal gear is crit tho

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sick sentinel
#

the argument with haste crit is it "sims better" and "crit gives you parry"

sick sentinel
#

mean while 8 out of 10 top warriors are going with haste vers

dire matrix
#

they arent full vers 0 crit tho

sick sentinel
#

and so, because those players all have 34% versa, so should i be going fo rtihs

strong forum
#

Only idiots still believe in the ultra vers must have for +16s

#

Shit doesn't matter in 26s

dire matrix
sick sentinel
#

in pvp, i mean to put in bfa

dire matrix
#

are you talking about me?

sick sentinel
#

oh for 16s you can build all mastery for all i care

dire matrix
#

vers is irrelavent for dmg reduction

sick sentinel
#

it doestn matter

dire matrix
#

!!!!!!!!

sick sentinel
#

but, i tried to explain it to him that it doesn't matter and he's an npc in that manner

#

good guy i like him, we just don't get along

dire matrix
#

if i cared i might infact recraft more gear to crit

#

but that costs money

#

and fuck that

#

bit of both for good measure

#

i wonder if i should go itf in aa

sick sentinel
#

thats another can of worms lol

dire matrix
#

i wouldnt touch it at current haste value elsewhere

sick sentinel
#

probably enough AOE packs that makes it worth to take ITF into AA

dire matrix
#

with the haste npc buff

#

kinda huge

sick sentinel
#

i like HR too much

dire matrix
#

on bird boss ur not gonna be in range of anyone tho

#

and thats the worst boss

#

so kinda spooky

strong forum
#

Yeah

dire matrix
#

like 10y range on that boss is gonna be 2% uptime

#

so its super fucking sketchy

#

maybe on fort itd be pogging

sick sentinel
#

thats generally my opinion

strong forum
#

Imo, itf is only good on low keys to pad aoe

dire matrix
#

the bird does so much fricking dmg on high tryranical

#

like jesus

sick sentinel
#

haste on fort, block extend on tyrannical

#

generally speaking

dire matrix
#

running with like 47% haste on the lasher pulls

#

would be some nice pad 😂

#

just gotta persuade ur rdps to stand in melee

#

surely they wont mind

warm plinth
#

it's only quaking, why would they mind?

dire matrix
#

cant really see an issue

#

take hpala

warm plinth
#

same

dire matrix
#

3 melee

sick sentinel
#

on fort you need overall dps, not so much about st boss survivability

warm plinth
#

I did a key last night with 2 ranged dps and a ranged healer

dire matrix
#

andy runs itf

#

so

sick sentinel
#

on tyran pack aoe is not that important

dire matrix
#

it must be bis for all of us

warm plinth
#

And I swear to god they thought it was a group hug dungeon or something

dire matrix
#

tyran u still need to aoe

sick sentinel
#

i mean

dire matrix
#

its where u save time

#

for 7hr long fights

#

but u need to live

sick sentinel
#

if you double whenever you can and have competent dps

#

that 10% extra haste wont do much

halcyon dust
#

Last boss in AV really sucks

dire matrix
#

pray for sr to line up and u take no dmg

#

and it still sucks

warm plinth
#

Last I checked Andy was running HR

#

That was just a couple days ago

sick sentinel
#

build is situational and for choices like these

warm plinth
#

Apparently he's changed his name or something though because he doesn't come up in search on raider.io atm

sick sentinel
#

99.99% people arent running contents that require this kind of min max

dire matrix
#

he was running itf in cos i saw once

#

that is all i know

#

i dont watch too many streams

sick sentinel

cos = 0 tank damage

dire matrix
#

well

sick sentinel

literally none

dire matrix

apart from when he almost died

😄

#

but yes mostly

#

also coulda just been trying it out

#

they only dungeon ive considered it is aa cuz of the buff

sick sentinel
#

cos is also mostly small pp pulls

#

idk whats their route tho

dire matrix
#

he only dipped on harbor grouping

sick sentinel
#

could be different at higher level

dire matrix
#

cuz ur not setup

#

when u do patrol + enforcer or miniboss

#

its kinda some dmg

halcyon dust
#

Wiped on last boss in AV. DPS was low and wouldn't clear thundering.

dire matrix
#

u cant really pull 1 by 1

warm plinth

pepehands

halcyon dust

Pulled a second attempt, folks just hitting by the orbs.

sick sentinel

i mean even if you pull the eyestorm 3 pack with a mini boss

its still not that much damage

dire matrix
#

that scream ramps

#

pretty hard with key level

#

but thats group

#

nott ank

yea thats the thing

the only tank buster i can think of in that dungeon can be reflected on cd
