Jeh, on higher than 20's you would start relying on defensives / health pots etc.

brittle silo
#

Isn't it like 380 vs 650% diff on 20 vs 24?

ionic fern
#

But on 20's it should be w/e.

topaz field
#

well

#

yes and no

ionic fern
#

A healer can carry that one alone.

topaz field
#

yes

#

sure

kindred furnace
#

you're having to tell your rogue to press feint it's a free dr

topaz field
#

but not the average pug healer for 20s i would say

ionic fern
#

Imagine having to micromanage your DPS players / healers so they can do their job.

#

"Okay rogue, now press X".

kindred furnace
#

telling them to press other stuff i understand but feint is not the one i'd expect

brittle silo
#

Tank got a lead ----> lead their lives

ionic fern
#

I hate people not putting effort into learning their classes/abilities.

kindred furnace
#

cloak maybe

brittle silo
topaz field
#

only good rogue feint regularly

#

thats not even a low key mentality

jagged pier
topaz field
#

dps are dumb af

ionic fern
#

And only good rogues bait literally every Fenryr leap with Vanish.

kindred furnace
#

I know, i'm saying why would someone not hit feint

ionic fern
topaz field
#

i mean they cannot any longr unless they are outlaw

ionic fern
topaz field
#

lmao

ionic fern
#

From my pug experience atleast.

#

And they still don't do it.

#

Had 1 rogue do it.

#

😂

brittle silo
#

Actually I've been seeing more subs lately

#

a lot more subs

topaz field
#

nobody plays outlaw anymore because they all see high key rogues playing sub

#

and they obviously have to play what jpc plays

ionic fern
#

Really?
I swear most of the rogues i've gotten are Outlaws.

#

Maybe like 1 or 2 Subs.

topaz field
#

maybe im trolling but i havent seen an outlaw for weeks

brittle silo
#

Maybe on high-end keys they know how to decide spec based on needs and not just FoTM ^^ idk

ionic fern
#

HAHAHAHAHA.

#

Nice one.

topaz field
#

xD

brittle silo
#

on <=22 it's sub all the way for me :v

ionic fern
#

Here's a 24 i did yesterday.

#

SBG, arguably a lot of feintable damage

#

.He used it 4 times.

topaz field
#

yep

#

thats what i mean

#

clowning

#

in RLP on all the elementals rogues dont feint

#

and make my life miserable as heal

brittle silo
#

1st and 3rd boss u should feint on cd pretty much I'd say

#

But my rog is 385 ilvl tho so not gonna trashtalk them

topaz field
#

im surprised he lives horn of valor without feint

#

imagine using boon more often than feint

#

disgusting

pallid quiver
#

feint's not damage

#

they're there for dam, not tank/heal

topaz field
#

being dead is even less dmg

brittle silo
#

feint is kinda w/e. I'm more concerned about only 4 crimson phials on a 24 ^^

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, adjust

#

What do you expect him to do, stop doing dam?

brittle silo
#

and 2 kidneys

pallid quiver
#

He's gotta pump, bro

Hello! I have question about IP, what is its's cap? e.g. when I cast IP for full rage, will it always cap?

#

Does my taltens and 4 tier bonus add it up?

round pendant
#

my weapon upgrade gives me straight up 5% more dps

#

pog.

round pendant
remote venture
#

So the IP shield can only be 30% of max health?

brittle silo
#

it's more

remote venture
#

Can it be more then 30% of your max hp if you cast IP?

round pendant
#

actually yeah it's not 30%

#

it's more

#

Dunno what it is tho

lofty widget
#

It is 30% of your current Max hp

remote venture
#

ignoring 50% of damage taken, up to [(0 + Attack power * 3.5) * (1 + Versatility)] total damage prevented. The Tool tip says "Up to" so I thought it was up to max cap?

round pendant
#

I've had it at 194k and I definitely don't have like 600k max hp

remote venture
#

So it can stack?

lofty widget
#

LS, rally priest buff etc All increase the cap

brittle silo
#

ye. I spoke bullshit. It's up to 30%

round pendant
#

Yes ganfar, get an ignore pain tracker

ionic fern
#

The cap is 30% of your HP.

round pendant
#

Huh, maybe I misread it then, or I had a hp buff

remote venture
#

So if I cast IP and it' only have 15% of mt max hp, then cast it again? I will cap it?

paper nexus
#

The thing that infuriates me more than anything in raiding is people not using pots/healthstones and proceed to die from ticking damage

ionic fern
#

If you use Bolster/Rallying or whatever else it will increase the cap.
If you don't let it drop after the Bolster/Rallying ends then it will keep the increased cap until IP is fully absorbed.

ionic fern
#

It's a non topic.

#

Don't even think about it.

remote venture
#

I just want to understand how it works

ionic fern
round pendant
#

When you press it, you get a certain amount

#

it stacks up until 30% of your max hp

remote venture
#

Becasue my friend says from the logs I use IP a lot less then other top prot WArrios

round pendant
#

Because you should press it even when you're going to overcap it

#

Rage too high? press IP

pallid quiver
#

It's an off GCD rage dump

remote venture
#

Yes, it's good.

pallid quiver
#

If playing well, you press it a lot without any regard as to whether it's up or not

#

or if you'll cap or whatever

ionic fern
remote venture
#

I have just used Revanege as rage dumper and didnt feel I need to do more with.

ionic fern
pallid quiver
#

Any rage that is lost to overcap is lost:
Outburst rage
CD reduction from Anger Management
Indom healing

kindred furnace
#

Revenge is too slow

#

You need to get avatar back up

remote venture
#

Yes

pallid quiver
#

"55% of any particular damage event"

kindred furnace
#

If you’re actively tanking with cds rolling you’ll have way way way too much rage to just revenge it away

#

Also if you’re using revenge you’re not using shield slam

#

Or thunderclap

brittle silo
round pendant
#

How do I see rage waste?

brittle silo
#

warcraftlogs only

round pendant
#

I've logged all my shit

brittle silo
#

details cant show that

round pendant
#

Just dunno where to find it

ionic fern
#

Resources.

#

Rage.

brittle silo
#

resources - > rage

round pendant
#

That makes sense hmmNod

#

Ideally 0 on wasted is good, but that's perfect world shit

round pendant
#

if I'm wasting like less than 5% of my total gain that's not bad yeah?

lofty widget
#

Less than 1% is good

ionic fern
#

Your priority is wrong.

brittle silo
#

less then 1% is god. U mispelled

lofty widget
#

Not Hard really, but its ideal

round pendant
#

My problem is I'm afraid of dipping too low and not being able to press anything

warm plinth
ionic fern
#

You're also wasting A TON of rage.

pallid quiver
#

so 1100 rage you gained from SS

#

just out the window

remote venture
# ionic fern

I agree, I can see it now. I need to use IP often then I do

warm plinth
#

Holy fuck that's a lot of rage wasted 😟

ionic fern
brittle silo
#
  • 2.5k on top of that. that.s 3.6k rage that could go into anger management
ionic fern
#

It should be SS->TC and only then Rage spenders like IP/Revenge.

pallid quiver
#

Your overall CPM is 45.2, and when doing the rotation properly you should be at around 60, so

remote venture
pallid quiver
#

I'd recommend heading to a dummy and working on the muscle memory for the base rotation and priority

ionic fern
round pendant
#

Damn I actually waste a lot of rage

brittle silo
#

@ionic fern, about prio. Is that 'allowed' when out of rava/roar to prio rev/tc at the start of the pull in other to get some threat? Or blame dps for not letting me get threat

kindred furnace
#

are you talking aoe?

brittle silo
#

ye

warm plinth
#

I mean if you need threat then you need threat

pallid quiver
#

I mean

You gotta get threat somehow

warm plinth
#

Threat is more important than damage

brittle silo
#

AA treetrash pull for example

kindred furnace
#

thunderclap into shield charge

pallid quiver
#

That's more important than your DPS ever, since it's why you even exist

brittle silo
#

I like going vexa->bird->tree

remote venture
#

Thanks for the feedback, I see what I can improve with my roatiron now.

kindred furnace
#

usually should be more threat than you would need

brittle silo
#

and sometimes I'm dry af after bird

kindred furnace
#

you also surely have aoe taunt up after bird

brittle silo
#

In that case I prio revenge over SS proc if possible just to get any threat. Wondering if there's some better/easier way

pallid quiver
#

The only time you can really blame DPS for pulling threat is if they're popping all CDs and ST'ing the ever living shit out of a non-prio, no damage, minimal concern ass mob

brittle silo
#

For example if flies 'agitate' to china

warm plinth
#

You should already have established threat by the time they agitate

kindred furnace
#

they only do that after like 5-10 seconds

brittle silo
#

Ye, so before that I'm revenge spamming. That's what was the question about. Once I'm 20s into a pull I'm flooded with rage/threat 😄

hardy snow
#

dont forget AoE tuant, its very useful okayge

warm plinth
#

You don't need to revenge spam. Like you run in, you TC, you demo, you shield charge, nothing should come off you at that point really unless you just stop pressing buttons

kindred furnace
#

also once rend is applied you can roar, if they don't let it come into melee that's a different problem

#

but if the mobs get to you, you should have no aggro issues

kindred furnace
#

ahh

brittle silo
#

once in rava/roar it's like impossible to loose threat

kindred furnace
#

also you probably have avatar tho

ionic fern
#

One of your main goals as a tank is to keep aggro.
You do what you need to depending on the situation.
No CD's?
-Charge into TC into Revenge into SS
-AoE taunt
-ST taunt - Leap - ST taunt
-Shockwave at the beginning if needed

kindred furnace
#

which is tc every other global

ionic fern
#

Got plenty of tools to deal with it.

brittle silo
ionic fern
#

No, that's just a generic rotation to follow since our whole spec is based on generating/using Rage.

#

After you have established initial threat in such a scenario you can continue with the "normal" rotation.

round pendant
#

Sometimes I get so dried up on rage and everything refuses to proc anything

#

literally dunno what to do in that situation

#

might start leap charging

#

I mean clearly I pressed IP one too many times or something

kindred furnace
#

leapcharge is good if position/frontals aren't a threat

brittle silo
#

sw - > leap - > charge or just get frost mage and play intervene peepostudy

#

reprisal vibes

kindred furnace
#

sw? shield wall?

brittle silo
#

shockwave

kindred furnace
#

oh

#

i was about to say that might be a little overkill

brittle silo
#

if you have wall u dont need to leap for ragegen I'd say 😄

round pendant
#

I want the shockwave damage talents to be worth taking

#

love that ability

acoustic fjord
#

Yknow I gotta be honest. DF prot is my favorite iteration or prot. Tuning aside, to me it feels like butter to play.

mental scarab
#

Bfa season 2+ prot

#

Best shiet ever

brittle silo
acoustic fjord
#

So nice

stuck basin
#

would like to have beserk rage back baseline...

acoustic fjord
#

what should my uptime on shield block be roughly?

#

ive been keeping it up a lot

#

like a loooot

jagged pier
#

We only care about blockhits not uptime

#

And u need logs for that

acoustic fjord
#

ah okay

#

makes sense

strong flax
#

How do you guys open in Multitarget Scenarios in m+ when you have everything up? I feel like i m doing a lot less dps than other Tanks not even in dungeon also in raid. Our blood dk tank outdpses me like in most of the Fights...

jagged pier
#

That shouldnt happen

strong flax
#

Uff kk

jagged pier
#

Your are for sure playing very incorrectly

#

But cant tell without logs

strong flax
#

Please dont be Harsh xD

#

Just filled in tank slot like first/second mythic raid as a tank

jagged pier
#

Im at work i cant look

craggy pilot
warm plinth
craggy pilot
#

@strong flax what stance are you in?

#

@strong flax you have a bit of wasted rage, and you have LOOOOONG periods where you dont press Revenge, like 1min where you dont press Revenge

#

you need to keep uptime of your 2set for 5% dmg

strong flax
#

Which particular fight you looked at ?

#

Y you are right

craggy pilot
#

Terros

strong flax
#

Kk

warm plinth
#

Yeah you're basically just not pressing Revenge nearly enough

#

IP is a rage dump primarily, not something you spam

craggy pilot
#

and swap Endurance Training + Barbaric Training

#

just get a WA for tracking Vanguards Determination

#

as long as u press it ever 3 globals ur good for 2set

#

ur TC usage could be a bit higher also

#

not too bad, you have 74% usage of TC according to wowanalyzer

#

mostly you seem to be wasting rage when you Demo Shout

jagged pier
#

Please dont use analyser its out of date and not maintained

craggy pilot
#

so just pop an IP before you demo shout, if you are going to overcap

craggy pilot
strong flax
#

y thx 4 your help i will later get a wa for 2p set

warm plinth
#

I'm surprised anyone even knows what wowanalyzer is anymore. It literally has been useless for like 2 expansions.

craggy pilot
#

i know its out of date, which is why i only take few things from it

jagged pier
craggy pilot
#

no one knows what logs mean

pseudo edge
#

um is there an issue with Electrified Jaws on Heroic Ras - hitting twice if you spell block one earlier?

vocal nimbus
#

Is there any reliable way to move centaur archers from the beginning of nokhud?

warm plinth
#

Yeah but if it's not maintained then you have no idea if it's giving you correct information

craggy pilot
#

😄

#

or idk if that even works lul

craggy pilot
#

i used it a lot to tell my guildies they are shit on classes where i have no clue about the rotation

kindred furnace
#

i think there are a few specs updated

#

but they tell you in advance

ionic fern
#

It was well maintained.

#

For Prot.

warm plinth
#

I just meant in general, not necessarily for prot

#

It was unmaintained for the majority of specs in shadowlands

craggy pilot
ionic fern
#

Ah,okay.

kindred furnace
#

if you look at your guildmates cd usage you can probably find their low dps there

craggy pilot
#

15 specs up to date

kindred furnace
#

that's the issue like 75% of the time lol

craggy pilot
#

like i can see CPM, but i usually dont know how much its supposed to be at

#

is % visible in logs?

kindred furnace
#

oh you just go to buffs and look per class

craggy pilot
#

15/38 up to date specs on WowAnalyzer 😄

warm plinth
#

what do you mean in %

craggy pilot
#

thats without counting the 10.0.0

warm plinth
#

Well yeah you wouldn't count 10.0.0 that's prepatch

craggy pilot
#

if he delays for 1min every 1min CD, he would get 50%

#

fx idk how high CPM a fire mage should have of combust 🤷‍♂️

warm plinth
#

Fight Length / Spell CD = maximum uses

craggy pilot
#

like Icy Veins?

warm plinth
#

Compare with better players or make THEM ask in their class discord what their uptime should look like

craggy pilot
#

and stuff like SS casts

#

i know fx SS is supposed to be at like 15CPM or so

warm plinth
#

You shouldn't have to spoon feed it to them. Make them work at it themselves.

craggy pilot
#

but if i wasnt playing Prot Warr how would i check that?

craggy pilot
warm plinth
#

Compare with someone better

#

Tough shit

#

No offense to you

#

But like...put forth some fucking effort

craggy pilot
#

so i should compare their parse to like top10 logs?

warm plinth
#

Sure

craggy pilot
kindred furnace
#

nah

round pendant
#

Are they raiding normal or something

craggy pilot
#

HC prog

warm plinth
#

I generally go to the top logs and then go down until I find a similar kill time

#

And then compare

kindred furnace
#

when looking at logs I look for similar kill times between top and then like 50-100 lower than that

round pendant
#

Heroic but not willing to improve

#

Good luck with raz

kindred furnace
#

it depends on the class/boss/how early in a tier tho

craggy pilot
#

now he got reduced 5% hp 😄

warm plinth
#

Yeah like...idk man. It's not your job to hold their hand tbh

#

They gotta do shit for themselves

craggy pilot
#

checked our Havoc DH talents, and told her to swap talents, which was instant 25% dmg increase 😄

#

went from simming 38k to 48k

warm plinth
#

See like that shit is just

#

...

#

That's MINIMUM effort to make sure you playing the correct fucking build

#

you're*

craggy pilot
#

ah wais no i mean from 45k to 58k

craggy pilot
#

some people log for just raid and herbing

warm plinth
#

Then find a guild that doesn't give a fuck about progging idk. I have no tolerance or patience for people like that

craggy pilot
#

we had people playing the same rotation from SL

#

cus they using Hekili

warm plinth
#

But more power to you I guess

craggy pilot
#

so idc too much about Raid

warm plinth
#

I will answer questions all day long if you're making an effort but fuck you if you're expecting me to hand everything to you

craggy pilot
#

cant find a guild with proper raid times for me on my cluster anyway

kindred furnace
#

warcraftlogs shows top percentage talents for specific bosses and specific classes

craggy pilot
#

i usually use subcreation for that

craggy pilot
#

the feeling of beating HC with a bunch of shitters just outshines beating it in a pug 😄

warm plinth
#

Click where it says show more at the top on the talent tree

round pendant
#

My friends guild couldn't even clear normal and no one wants to improve

#

It's really weird, what's the fun in wiping on normal for 3 hours?

warm plinth
#

There is 0 fun to be had

kindred furnace
#

i mean if he's okay with that who cares

craggy pilot
#

our HC prog was really delayed because people had hard time in normal as well

#

and people gain 0 gear outside of raid

kindred furnace
#

if he's upset about it, it's super easy to find another one

craggy pilot
#

like im 415 on main...

warm plinth
#

The life of a casual guild member I guess lol

craggy pilot
#

and still didnt kill Rasz 😄

warm plinth
#

I'm 414.5 and I haven't stepped foot in LFR even

kindred furnace
#

did you just never finish your raszageth quest

warm plinth
#

There's a quest? 😂

round pendant
#

Pugged HC, wasn't too bad. Tbh normal raz was worse lmao

kindred furnace
#

yeah it gave a free 405 upgrade

warm plinth
#

Oh, nope

kindred furnace
#

at the time it was pretty relevant/still good for new alts

warm plinth
#

But anyway

#

@craggy pilot I'll pray for you 😂

round pendant
#

Pugging is just a lottery for raids and guilds are either good enough to clear it or they never will (unless they're willing to boot people)

craggy pilot
#

😄

#

im out for the next 2 weeks of prog anyway

#

so ill skip on all the rough Rasz prog 🤣

#

then hopefully be back in for the kill

warm plinth
#

MAYBE they'll have killed her already by the time you get back

craggy pilot
#

doubt it 😉

warm plinth
#

You can be there for the re-prog 😏

craggy pilot
#

we usually dont do rekills

#

people quit the season after 1 kill of endboss

kindred furnace
#

how u get to raszageth then

craggy pilot
#

we usually do the mount quest on normal week after end boss dies on HC

craggy pilot
#

i mean people quit after HC kill

kindred furnace
#

I know i'm joking

craggy pilot
#

but idk

#

we had 27 wipes monday

#

on Rasz

#

we didnt get out of P1 ever

round pendant
#

M+ is so much more fun than raiding lmao

craggy pilot
kindred furnace
#

gonna start selling mythic broodkeeper skip to guilds 💰

craggy pilot
#

we are still doing the Normal skip 😄

#

Normal Skip into HC reclear into Rasz prog

round pendant
#

Maybe I'll start my own guild

modern relic
#

how long does it make sense to hold ravager thunderous roar for avatar/demo shout to be up? (Lets say single target and not needed for any specific scenario like picking up adds) or do i always press it on cd?

round pendant
#

Tho being an officer was bad enough in legion fuck that

craggy pilot
#

SEEEEEEEND

kindred furnace
#

think only reason to hold would be is if the boss would die before you get another use

craggy pilot
#

7/15 of my raid team is still below 400 ilvl

round pendant
#

That'd be fine for hc.. if they were good players

craggy pilot
#

few are good, few are decent

#

then rest

#

😄

#

ended on a 0.3% wipe on broodkeeper 🤣

kindred furnace
#

idk looking at %'s for your guild won't really do much

#

being in a worse guild helps with parsing for a few bosses and then involving kill times

#

mostly you can tell who's good and bad with who dies all the time and can do mechanics, and that's usually enough for heroic

craggy pilot
#

ye people die to dumb shit all the time

#

idk if they play with only mouse of some shit

#

like we have 1-3 good dps, 1 good tank, 1 good healer

#

rest is kinda eh

kindred furnace
#

prob wanna swap off your flask tho

#

and just get vers flask

craggy pilot
kindred furnace
#

oh

craggy pilot
#

im not the pwar 😄

kindred furnace
#

the warrior used eye in the storm flask

craggy pilot
#

oof

#

he just rerolled to PWar

kindred furnace
#

he did pretty well

craggy pilot
#

cus he didnt like BRM

kindred furnace
#

at least in a "pressed buttons" way

craggy pilot
#

he has a bit low usage of CDs

#

like Avatar Demo Shout

#

and some wasted rage

kindred furnace
#

the bar is pretty low tho, using d stance as a defensive and then swapping back is better than like 80% of heroic logs i've seen

craggy pilot
kindred furnace
craggy pilot
#

nice

#

gave him the Stance macro

#

and told him to remove his WA that "screams at me when im not in Dstance" 😄

#

hahahaha

#

if i hadnt told him that he would have been Dstance 100%

kindred furnace
#

he did try and use dragon games on the pull and then either forgot about it or decided fuck it which tbh same

craggy pilot
#

but ye fuck that trinket anyway

#

i think hes gonna replace it fast

kindred furnace
#

idk i just saw he used it once

craggy pilot
#

in rasz he has Decoration of Flame + All Totem

#

might actually be better for him to just All Totem + Incarnate Icon (LFR)

kindred furnace
#

decoration of flame is kinda juice for the intermission

craggy pilot
#

ye but i dont suspect hes gonna use it there

#

probably gonna waste it right before intermission

#

and incarnate icon is huge on a tank

#

gives ton of stats for everyone else who has icon

wild crag
#

Hey folks, what are rotational defensives in TJS 3rd boss? Our (prot warr) tank claims nothing affects healing absorb, so defensive CDs don't matter and if he dies (he does) it's healer's fault. Is it true?

wild crag
#

Nice! Thanks

craggy pilot
#

you use Defensive to reduce the initial hit, and heals to help with the Absorb

kindred furnace
craggy pilot
#

IV + LS + Health Pot can help

marble cipher
#

"defensive cd' s don't matter "
Kek

wild crag
#

+20

craggy pilot
#

Warr should sit Dstance the entire jade phase kinda

#

and lust the phase

kindred furnace
#

nah

craggy pilot
#

is what i usually do in my pugs

kindred furnace
#

just when you're out of shit

craggy pilot
wild crag
#

yeah, we have to explicitly hold cds for that phase instead of pull to go through it, otherwise he's getting toasted on like 3rd hit

craggy pilot
#

but ye you have 2x Wall, Spell Block, Spell Reflect, Defensive Stance, Impending Victory and Last Stand

cyan oriole
craggy pilot
#

2x Wall

#

and Spell Block takes 2 hits

#

thats 4 he should survive

wild crag
#

well, he's main dps specced right until this patch, so just inexperienced

kindred furnace
#

after 4 it get dicey

craggy pilot
#

and healer CD can save 1

marble cipher
#

It's at 5th that you need to rethink your life keks

craggy pilot
cyan oriole
#

you need to rethink your dps comp on 5th

marble cipher
#

Aye, that

wild crag
#

hahaha

craggy pilot
#

i had Evoker do Time Dilation on me on the hit, and it just made it worse 🤣

kindred furnace
#

honestly holding cds for the phase isn't a terrible thing either

#

at least depending on the cd

wild crag
#

our healer is a pala, don't they have this magic immune thing or is it only for prots?

kindred furnace
#

prot only

#

if you're like dh boomkin some other 3m and all juice the first phase and then have 2 minutes in p2 it's gonna suck

ionic fern
#

"Hold CD's for second phase".

craggy pilot
#

idk if that does giga help, but it can do a little

ionic fern
wild crag
#

yeah, but he claims when out of wings he can't top the absorb

kindred furnace
#

loh?

topaz field
#

ye

#

its hard

I (ww monk) have to stand inside warrior for +8% healing boost and that actually kinda helped

topaz field
#

u have to spam the tank and prot is probably the worst tank to do so

wild crag
#

or they rotated better on 4th pull, idk

topaz field
#

but do u guys have shadowmeld?

#

can also bubble taunt

wild crag
#

can you spell block the absorb amount?

kindred furnace
#

i'm not sure if it reduces the absorb amount

craggy pilot
kindred furnace
#

but it reduces the initial hit by so much that you're not in danger

craggy pilot
#

which helps a lot

wild crag
#

nice! thanks folks

craggy pilot
#

check the Spell Block/reflect sheet in pins

kindred furnace
#

spell block mandatory

cyan oriole
#

ye spell block is goated in tojs

#

both forti and tyra

craggy pilot
#

only thing i fucking hate is the waves just coming out at random directions

#

i cant seem to figure out the pattern

wild crag
#

wouldn't it be safe to just stay dstance the whole time? 10% of tank single target dmg is not a lot?

kindred furnace
#

they lose out on more damage than it's worth

#

killing the boss quicker means less damage

craggy pilot
wild crag
cyan oriole
#

nah just juggle it like a chad

craggy pilot
#

depends how comfy you are

craggy pilot
kindred furnace
#

he should be stance dancing hits that are scary

wild crag
#

I mean it's +20, he should be able to stance switch

kindred furnace
#

only time you don't is if you won't be able to afford the global mid encounter

craggy pilot
#

Incarnate Icon works on entire raid right?

kindred furnace
#

whoever has it, yea

craggy pilot
#

so 382 Incarnate Icon + 402 Decoration of Flame + 408 All-Totem...
How many people in grp would need to have Incarnate Icon for it to be better?

kindred furnace
#

in a raid?

craggy pilot
#

yes

kindred furnace
#

it depends better for you or them

craggy pilot
#

better for the raid

kindred furnace
#

like 2

#

it's pretty big and you're better off being buff bitch if they have it

craggy pilot
#

if DPS has HC version, and tank has LFR version, does the proc still give full benefit for the DPS?

kindred furnace
#

ye

craggy pilot
#

ah cool cool

#

ill tell him to fuck off with that Decoration of Flame then 😄

#

be our buff bitch

kindred furnace
#

the low ilvl one?

craggy pilot
#

ye

#

382

kindred furnace
#

i meant the prot warr from the log

craggy pilot
#

yes

kindred furnace
#

i didn't look at his survivability at all

#

if he needs it to live it might be a bad idea >.>

craggy pilot
#

shouldnt help that much

#

and he can just SW

#

dont think he used SW that much anyway 😄

#

also he got loot funneled hard, he is 396 now 😄

#

and i upgraded his shield to 405

kindred furnace
#

I think when I geared my warrior I went from fresh to like 412 in a week

craggy pilot
#

with the Rasz infusion

kindred furnace
#

I ran an ungodly amount of dungeons though

#

yeah that and like 50-70 dungeons that week

craggy pilot
#

ye if you just do like 50 +16s in a week

#

you can get some sick gear

brittle silo
kindred furnace
#

it was early in tier

#

we full geared a prevoker to 416 in a week of mythic and 50 16+'s

craggy pilot
#

damn

#

im 415.8 with tryharding on my main 😄

kindred furnace
#

we needed 2 for rasz so it was the only option

craggy pilot
#

my 3rd 421 vault and its 3x sidegrades :<

brittle silo
#

I'm stuck on 415 aswell as I'm not stepping into raid. Might get to 417 with uncap valor tho. Aaaaand waiting for sick vault

kindred furnace
#

uncapped valor would have helped with the whetstone grind

brittle silo
#

almost 3k score and haven't seen single one drop ^^

#

Consider yourself lucky

kindred furnace
#

I locked myself to CoS 18-20's idk if i'd say i'm lucky

#

like 53 of them

brittle silo
#

Welp...

#

Though I got CoS AA ring with avoidance

#

and already looted like 6 of them ^^

kindred furnace
#

I kept inviting random guildies online and queuing as a 4 stack into CoS keys

#

they almost called the guild HR rep on me

brittle silo
kindred furnace
#

i'm kidding

brittle silo
#

I wouldn't be surprised tho kek

kindred furnace
#

but we do pretend we have a union rep calling for breaks if we go over our usual break time in raid

brittle silo
#

Oh yes. We had one. Called chain smoker

#

Regular breaks every time

craggy pilot
brittle silo
kindred furnace
#

this was in 1 day

craggy pilot

#

craggy pilot
#

2nd boss quaking

#

is cancer though

brittle silo
#

Shitty enfo spawn and random bodypull? Check

craggy pilot
#

like holy shit

craggy pilot
#

im pretty sure i have it down where random bodypull never happens

kindred furnace
#

just run to the outside

craggy pilot
#

nah

#

just run to the backside

#

is what i do usually

kindred furnace
#

that's what i mean

craggy pilot
#

cus he doesnt spawn the same time twice

kindred furnace
#

like near the water

craggy pilot
#

no no

#

i run behind the book

brittle silo
craggy pilot
kindred furnace
#

he definitely can spawn in the same place

craggy pilot
#

you probably took the right enforcer, and pulled it into the left one

#

90% sure it cannot spawn on the same place

#

people just like to pull that one back

brittle silo
craggy pilot
#

on top of the other spawnpoint

kindred furnace
#

it can spawn in the same spot 100%

craggy pilot
#

the problem is these 2

brittle silo
#

Anyway, even if that's right -> left and u dont kill 3mob patrol in front of a boss orb/bridge u dont have a lot of spot to wiggle

bold olive
kindred furnace
#

but if you just fight the mini boss where the imp spawn is you'll never catch a spawn

brittle silo
#

It's tight not to pull

kindred furnace
#

and you're also in a position to head to the other side if need be

craggy pilot
#

i dont have it happen when i tnak

#

but i did the dungeon on my shaman

#

and tank had it happen to him

#

cus he pulled the enforcer back

#

on top of the other spawn point

brittle silo
#

I'll check that next CoS I do. Probably next week keks

craggy pilot
#

i usually pull #4 back into the corner behind the book

#

then i never have any spawn issue

#

since im 90% sure #4 doesnt spawn after #4

#

and #3 after #3

brittle silo
#

btw @craggy pilot as u're COS veteran. How worth is gateskip in pug scenario if any?

craggy pilot
#

so idk

#

i usually dont even do harbor, unless the % lines up after 1st boss

kindred furnace
#

it's fine if you're accounting for it

brittle silo
#

I've run 23 yday and had only 1:15 undertime iirc

#

might be too tight on 24

#

So thinking about some timesavers

craggy pilot
#

my route looks something like this (89.5%)

kindred furnace
#

because then you could do a docks pull while waiting

craggy pilot
#

highest i did was +21 though

brittle silo
craggy pilot
#

oh wait no +20

limpid anchor
brittle silo
limpid anchor
#

Did you never look into the room there?

craggy pilot

limpid anchor
#

craggy pilot
#

people called me troll the other day in +20 because i didnt pull harbor

#

he wanted to do rogue shroud pull to harbor 😄

#

felt giga troll

#

cus if we fuck it up, its GG KEY

brittle silo
#

harb is actually great

#

ez pull

#

a lot of %

limpid anchor
#

Nah doesn’t matter

brittle silo
#

Tho pull 6 is dogshit imho

craggy pilot
#

ye but he wanted to do it with shroud 🤣

limpid anchor
#

Harbor is Easy and big %

brittle silo
#

ye

#

faster bl

craggy pilot
brittle silo
#

good on forti weeks

kindred furnace
#

if you're not used to the pull don't ever do it

limpid anchor
#

You shourd there for bl on start

#

And full cds

#

Instead of wasting it on the first pack

craggy pilot
#

ah so then you go back to the sentry?

limpid anchor
craggy pilot
#

i just dont rly like doing harbor early, cus i dont know how much pug will butpull

limpid anchor
#

You can

brittle silo
limpid anchor
#

Or you just take it on the boss, doesn’t matter much

craggy pilot
#

and if Enforcers are unlucky in last area, we get 120%

craggy pilot
#

have had pugs pull patrols on both sides during 1st boss

brittle silo
brittle silo
craggy pilot
#

depends how lucky you are with enforcers + items

limpid anchor
craggy pilot
#

and just incorporated it into my route 😄

brittle silo
#

so 2k

craggy pilot
#

and never changed it since COS is just easy anyway

brittle silo
#

I pull boss back to the bridge so they dont bodypull

craggy pilot
#

never said my route is good

#

its just giga safe

also i have no idea what it is

#

but prevokers can cleanse the first 3 bleeds on crawth

brittle silo
craggy pilot
#

stasis

#

its Stasis + Cauterizing Flame

kindred furnace
#

it also fucks with cd trackers lmao

craggy pilot
#

so first one you Stasis + Cauterising Flame

#

2nd one you pop the Stasis

#

3rd one you Cauterizing Flame again

brittle silo
#

Doubt that it worth to use at the start of the pull tho. U're floded with rage due to rava and can just spam IP and outheal it solo.
Though I've never did AA with evoker so I might spit bullshit

kindred furnace
#

think he skipped the first

craggy pilot
#

AA with evoker is straight cheat

#

ye just wall the first one

#

so your wall can come back for 5th one 😄

kindred furnace
#

idk if I had ravager for pull

craggy pilot
#

that boss fucking slaps on Tyra though

brittle silo
kindred furnace
#

think I used it on the 2 bird pack beforehand so it would be up for boss burn

#

but yeah you right

#

it's only post winds that it gets real sketch

brittle silo
craggy pilot
#

ye i ended up sitting almost perma Dstance

#

since if you swap in and out when bleed, its like no time in BStance anyway

#

but u can SW -> IV -> LS

#

and Spell Reflect every screech

brittle silo
kindred furnace
#

think for one of them I just grabbed the haste buff popped avatar and prayed

brittle silo
#

Ye, I get defensives rotation there. It's just compared to any other boss it's a struggle. U have to 'think' in order to live keks

weary lodge
# craggy pilot ye just wall the first one

I've been taking immovable object instead of unstoppable force simply for the extra shield wall with avatar and then use avatar 100% defensively on bosses like that... Bird boss in AA, Vexamus, 3rd in TJS, etc... It feels so much safer on Tyr weeks even though it's only 4 seconds of shield wall

craggy pilot
#

if you feel you lack wall, you can just go Double Wall talent

weary lodge
# craggy pilot if you feel you lack wall, you can just go Double Wall talent

I'll check it out and try it. It's definitely a safer play for sure, even on trash. I don't feel strongly either way about either of those talents at the bottom left of our class tree when prot... Kind of wish it was the same as fury/arms anyway. "Drop ravager when you avatar and vice versa" would have been so much more better.

craggy pilot
young tartan

Any tips for the 3rd boss in TJS?

craggy pilot
young tartan

amber siren
#

if you're lacking shield wall on crawth or blazehoof with impen wall, you're doing something wrong in your rotation

weary lodge
#

Had issues with my IRL friend healing through Jade serpent strike. I also now talent shield block specifically for that fight

#

Spell block

craggy pilot
#

thats not out of the ordinary

#

but Immovable Object is not really used

weary lodge
amber siren
#

It's a bad choice is why

craggy pilot
#

did i hear that correct?

#

like bro what

weary lodge
craggy pilot
#

wait so you use Immovable Object in TJS also?

#

you must be losing out on a ton of rage

weary lodge
#

Yeah, my bad, I was mostly talking about TJS the whole time. It's just a really safe pick with that 3rd boss on Tyr weeks

craggy pilot
#

you responded to a post about AA, and wanted to talk about TJS?

#

🤔

amber siren
#

It's not a safe pick, I don't know how else to explain this to you

#

It's bad

#

Just plain awful

#

If you're that insistent on double SW on TJS, which is fair, use def aegis

#

Turning avatar into a worse SW is just nonsensical

inland raft
#

Random question, tokens of merit from vault is it a set amount or based on how many slots you unlock?

sweet summit
#

2 per slot up to a cap of 6 per vault

craggy pilot
#

Immovable Object is 1% less dps in ST, and 3% in AOE

#

not speaking of the rage value you lose

inland raft
#

And doesnt matter where those slots come from so can get 1 from raid 2 from m+ and still get 6? Usually i max vault fully so never thought about it but dont have a lot if time this week

sweet summit
craggy pilot
inland raft
#

Cool thanks

sweet summit
strong forum

Yes

amber siren
#

The sim will use avatar on CD, which is what you'd do for max DPS

strong forum
#

It uses SW when avatar isn't up

#

For dps

#

When IO is talented

amber siren
#

That too

craggy pilot
#

ah, so if using SW like normal, it would be even more DPS loss

sweet summit
#

why only when avatar isn't up
it should add duration no?

ancient gazelle
#

Hey guys, Im running the two proc raid rings from VotI normal, but I got a signet of dancing jade pop from the vault. Is the ilvl difference worth the loss of one of the procs?

#

Worth to replace ilvl 415 Blazebinder's Hoof or 415 whetscar windstone for HC All-Totem of the Master?

crystal mauve
#

Whetstone is busted I would say yes

#

But the real answer is sim

#

It’s had to know how much damage you get from the Hoof str bonus

uneven mason
#

It varies, but I'd say totem and hoof on fort weeks, totem and whet on tyran

#

You're just going to get more out of how hoof is statted in ae

crystal mauve
uneven mason
#

I hate my phone autocorrect

#

Whetstone splits damage, it's not bad ae but it's a st proc

#

The haste and str are going to boost your ae, and in trash pull your rage budget and apm are higher for giga stacks

crystal mauve
uneven mason
#

But totem is bis in basically all (most) situations

#

But I'm not big enough brain to say for how much ilvl you should drop for it

#

Do a 1 3 5 patchwerk sim

#

And see the comparison

#

If you're not going for giga pull you'll be fine just using whetstone in all situations

just mad how much damage whetstone does when you can buff it with thundering or other stuff, odyn comes to mind with rune buff

Generally you prio shield slam and TC

#

And revenge if you have a free global

feral nebula
#

and what about Revenge! procc? still TC over Rev?

uneven mason
#

Yeah

#

Build rage> not build rage

#

Infact the free rev proc actually lowers the value of that rev cast in the grand scheme of things

#

Because it doesn't cycle rage for am

feral nebula
#

am?

hardy snow
uneven mason
#

Yeah I'm just saying in the overall view, it doesn't really matter but it is less rage spent in high budget situai

uneven mason
feral nebula
#

ah yeah, thank you

#

one last question: does only revenge procc my shield slam or are there other things that will procc it?

oak echo
#

And when it says devastate it really means autos because you're using devastator

hardy snow

and if you're not using devastator talent, then its indeed devastate skill, but i dont even want to know how could somebody play with such build critcake

nova vector

I have a question that I can’t find an answer to. I’m currently using Lariat and Fang Adornments on weapon. I just looted a Strike Twice. Does it count as an embellishment? If not, I was thinking of swapping to it and crafting the BS belt
