Sorry nothing fun about having to give up your mobility and utility just to still achieve less than complete shield block uptime. It was an extreme skill gap but the playstyle felt more punishing than rewarding. It probably turned a lot of people away from warrior too.

strong forum

reprisal was fun from a dmg standpoint

#

the fact that your survival was bound to it

is what made it shit

What do we think about the crafted versatility wrists for m+? are they any good

or do we just go for belt craft

depends on what other embelish you have

Frostfire belt is needed if you have Ring

# craggy pilot its not about the rage

It's both, you can't fish for procs if you don't have rage. I fish for SS if I have the ability to. Unless of course you mean the rage you get from outburst which in case yea the extra rage from SS is also very good.

Actually that brings me to a good question, what was the purpose in the M+ build now taking Titanic Throw in your pins?

craggy pilot

you have 1 flex talent

you can take Pain+Gain, Bouding Stride or Titanic Throw

or anything else tbh

i usually take Bounding

if u wanna 2x pull titanic throw is god tier

nah, the use case of Bounding Stride, i just use Ravager instead

solemn current

Was just curious with why Nom now shows it in the M+ pin build when it used to be on either Pain and Gain or Bounding Stride. Didn't know if there was some tech I wasn't up to date on or something

charge + TC one pack, Ravager the other pack

or charge + TC, Leap + TC

anything helps i guess

Thought you were about to hit me with a "look at all these shields you can do several hundred thousand damage to them with" not gonna lie

if we're talking bad talent point choices, can someone convince me why dropping thunderous roar and going full shockwave/sonic boom/rumbling earth is a bad idea? Seems like the aoe stun every 25 seconds would outweigh the 90 second roar?

wide dragon
#

no i know. it was all hypothetical

craggy pilot

and it does same or less dmg than Roar

you want to use your Stun for STOPS not DMG

Not particularly important atm obviously but can Titanic Throw hit explosives on its own? or you'd have to target it as usual

# wide dragon cruel strikes requires 2 points

To be honest beyond losing TR damage, you're also losing Rend and Deep Wounds damage in addition to losing Wild Strikes which is huge in proc'ing more Shield Slams. You can take it, but it really ain't worth

craggy pilot
#

and you have to use your Stun for DMG 😄

crystal mauve

You have to target it but a mouse over macro works (and I think you meant heroic throw)

@strong forum would it make sense to add Shockwave to APL when running Sonic Boom? 🤔 or is it just pure troll

and why not run Bloodborne in ST build over Armor Spikes? Since you only actually tank the boss 50% of the time

but with Rumbling Force you can get 2x Shockwave during avatar no?

ah wait no its 25sec

you desync Shockwave from avatar

and then get less dmg as a result

solemn current

So just play worse so you get less Avatar uptime easy solution

lol every single wowhead talent build is using Barbaric Training 🤔

#

and using AOE talents for Eranog, which idk if is needed unless on Mythic?

strong forum

eranog is all about padding on adds

for logging

craggy pilot

ye for parsing

but didnt think WoWhead guides were for Parsing

but for General build

🤷‍♂️

idk

since its taking Barbaric Training 🤣

why you said dont run ITF on Dathea + Rasz btw?

strong forum
#

diurna*

#

in rasz you are never stacked with your raid, therefor ITF sucks

#

diurna you tank 100% of the time

craggy pilot

tru

and on Diurna you run AOE talents if you are on adds?

or nah?

What's the consensus on taking intervene with the sole intent of using it to eat fenrir's scent of blood

strong forum
#

good

oak ivy
#

bet

craggy pilot
#

so something like this for ST raid all purpose

#

and then i swap Honed Reflex -> Seismic
Sudden Death -> Show of Force
Instigate -> Bloodsurge
for AOE 🤔

#

and for Rasz+Diurna i just swap ITF for HR on the respectable AOE/ST builds

#

and potentially swap SD for Disrupting Shout on Dathea, for add silence

#

or is it better to have both Honed Reflex + Seismic in AOE? 🤔

strong forum
#

almost nobody plays honed reflexes tbf

#

but ye disruptive on dathea

craggy pilot
#

ye i never do

#

but i see its picked on a lot of ST builds

idk what else to take? 🤔

what do we think the sweet spot is between:

not even sure if thats a dps ups

do anyone of you playing fury/arms aswell? i currently play m+ only (prot keys around 22) i was thinking to recraft my lariat/ring to haste/mastery or crit. does you feel any difference with "lower" versa ?

urban portal
#

i dont think the rotation is very optimal with execute

#

vers is a joke

strong forum
#

vers doesnt matter

sullen yarrow
#

hm, idk what would be better haste/mastery or haste/crit if you want to play both dps specs? i guess haste/mastery?

strong forum
#

mastery for fury

#

crit for arms

sullen yarrow
#

yeah thats whats recommend but if you want to play both? 😄 idk which one i like more tbh

urban portal
#

thats for you to decide

#

crit is better for prot and arms

#

but really bad for fury

sullen yarrow
#

well i guess a run few more keys and find out which spec i like more

sudden palm
#

I’m so high on haste/vers it’s kinda sad when I go Arms (which is kinda frequent)

I wish I had more sparks to craft stuff and have multiple gear sets

On RaidBots, does Devastator damage get rolled into Melee? I'm simming about half of what it says my Melee dmg should be, but the sim doesn't have Devastator listed as a damage source at all, which Details does. Together they seem to match up with RaidBots

Just always take evoker for AA

Shaman can cleanse it after 10.0.7

but currently they cant

Also ironic because shaman used to be the best poison cure

for sims

I just got a Declaration of flame heroic yesterday but it feels incredibly underwhelming, is there anything better I can farm in keys? I have pretty much all trinket but don’t know which one to put valor into (whetstone 415 already)
Ive seen a lot of sims with great results for the crafter deck but I’m not so sure about this (I tried on my Dk but it felt underwhelming too)

its a mega meh trinket, best bet is just other raid trinkets

underrot would be dope

tbh underrot is a new rumor shrine was a older rumor

Picked up a spiteful storm heroic. Pondering what to wear now between mythic decoration, heroic grieftorch, heroic incarnate

underrot is fine

third boss in underrot is exactly like first boss in azure

you have mushrooms instead of arcane trees

Well, you gotta dodge balls instead of picking up adds and avoiding the ground explosion.

No

I guess some could but it's not great

Pretty low budget

carmine wadi

ok because have it in my vault or some wrists in 415 vs the wrists 2pc from the stormset

uneven mason
#

Like what trinkets are you using

carmine wadi
#

when i sim raidbot tells me the 385 wrists + 385 chest is better than the 411 wrists...

twin comet
#

What m+ trinkets should I start farming?

uneven mason
carmine wadi
#

the one from courts and i have a ruby shell or master totem

uneven mason
#

Hoof, shell

twin comet
#

Whetstone is CoS isn't it?

uneven mason
carmine wadi
#

so i think i just take the wrists i mean they have lot more stamina then the 385

#

the 2pc of the 385 gives me 300 secondary

#

but no thank is running it so i think its not that worth

uneven mason
#

That's a lot of ilvl for sure to use 385s

Take wrists, craft a chest
