How much damage does whetstone deal in a dungeon is it worth farming out?

lusty tiger
strong forum
#

My 415 whetstone does 4.2-4.5k dps

#

So yeah, it's worth farming

hidden ether
#

Oh wow that’s crazy. I currently have a 402 flame I might start farming more court of stars

strong forum
#

But grieftorch and all-totem will do more in keys

Cuz they're mainstat

lusty tiger
#

Isn’t grief kinda sus to use?

It's a 2sec channel, decently easy to play around

Brew dmg is pretty good

Mdi is only about dmg

the faster the mobs die, the faster the key is done

MDI isn't about highest keys it's about speed

thats why they hover just under top end keys

Yup just outside of weird math territory

What are our absolute best trinks for M+? I just got my whetstone to 415, and am using the all-totem at 408 as my 2nd. I've got a few other trinks, I am thinking Hoof is my other go-to for m+ at 415?

i think what some teams do is they go tree or vex and then the other one, then bird

limber flame

you can do lust vex, and lust crawth with that

if that makes sense

so you have lust for first boss of choice then lust for bird

some teams struggle with bird

youll know if its a brick key when you get to crawth tbh

unless you brought an evoker

Would recommend using a m+ piece because it’s still upgradable after catalyst

torpid fiber
#

im having a really hard time having as much fun pushing keys this season as i did in sl s4 and i just cant put my finger on why

uneven mason

Because s4 was objectively end of expansion overpowered faceroll

its not a difficulty thing honestly. maybe the dungeons arent as fun?

I actually didnt expect i would enjoy prot Warrior when i started playing it, i only had played Fury and didnt like it

S1 SL pwar was the epitome of not having fun

chilly brook

Nah

#

S1 prot was fine

sick sentinel
#

prot paladin maybe

chilly brook
#

It was far better than dealing with IP on the GCD of s1 BFA

Like granted s1 of BFA we were basically the whole groups damage

But anything that did shoot shoot or rock throw also ate your ass

Rocks were the kryptonite of shields apparently

Somehow just phase right through them

In this expac focused on things i havent tried much before tanking and playing casters

Use thundering to make a massive move with the boss

bold turret
#

Avatar also breaks the slow

heady gyro
bold turret
#

Don’t jiggle on the spot

median tulip
#

The slow only stacks when you move, and has a short duration; like 4s of standing still and it's gone. So in addition to dispels and avatar, work on quieting your movement in the fight

zealous kelp
#

ty guys

bold turret
#

I think the orbs chase highest healing? If that’s the case reduce the amount you use IP and make them chase the healer

pale rock
#

M+ as a tank sounds more stressful than playing DD. Granted i never did M+ with either

strong forum
#

everything is more stressful than playing dps

#

lol

bold turret
#

I was in the habit of keeping 150-180k IP when not needed at all

median tulip
#

Don't even track your IP

pale rock
amber siren
#

No need to reduce IP use or you'll cap rage

#

Avatar, thundering, leap are plenty of tools

kindred furnace
#

Idk if you want to not track IP tho lol

#

You just don’t mind it being wasted during high rage generation

pale rock
#

Uff the MM hunters keep stealing my aggro

amber siren
#

You'll use IP as a rage dump, tracked or not. Outside of specific scenarios where you're purposely building a buffer, the amount doesn't matter

#

You'll just be naturally using it

#

Aka tracking it is usually unhelpful

tropic gorge
#

I like knowing what it's at. I'm usually way over capped, when the tracker shows me at like 168k lol

amber siren
#

The cap literally does not matter

tropic gorge
#

Iirc my cap is like around 86k or so, ish

amber siren
#

You're using IP to proc AM, the shield is just a nice to have

#

It could do nothing and you'd still use IP

tropic gorge
#

Duh.

amber siren
#

🤷 doesn't seem duh when we're talking about worrying about a cap here

kindred furnace
#

My tracking comment was more for defensive usage in raid

tropic gorge
#

Oh, sorry you thought I was worried about a cap. I simply stated I like the ip tracker to know where it's at at any given time. I also usually don't look up at my buffs, as so many roll on and off and they shuffle so often.

#

Either way, I see nothing wrong with an ip tracker wa. Track it or not, personal preference

How do these prot warriors in the mdi do so much damage

bold turret

Big pulls

You can’t compare apples to oranges if your doing 1 pack at a time and they are doing. 5

Ya when you do one pull that is 4+ pulls or an entire wing to a boss, your dmg is gonna skyrocket

Also boon

Also likely that they are optimising damage cds that most average players don’t

i can pretty much self sustain in those key ranges

dont really need a healer outside of very specific bosses or mechanics

I do have leech enchants on bracers and cloak and talents. My self healing is, well I never thought a warrior would ever out heal anyone, but here it is 2023 and I can often out heal healers on some pulls lol

was never out of the ordinary to outheal your healer

nothing more

Yep

strong forum

yes

pallid quiver

It's more important to spend the rage than worry about something as trivial as whether IP will be capped or not

Since the entire function of the class depends on its rage economy

meaning the generation and spending of rage

pallid quiver
# celest aurora to have SB without rage

On your initial pull, you should have CDs up, so you can pre-ravager, Charge+Avatar, SS/TC when you get in, and start flooding in rage to both SB and mash IP like a madman for the initial bit

Done

vernal vale
#

Plater is amazinf

past dragon
#

I have WA and DBM

uneven mason
#

You can turn the rest of your ui off, with just wa and plater

tropic gorge
#

Elvui and plater are friends thankfully, and will throw warnings. Elv will disable its bars for plater

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, 100% you need a way to track nameplates to make managing mobs easier to do; can even customize them to be different colors to help identify prio mobs

pallid quiver
#

I personally just use Elvui's nameplates over Plater because I can't be arsed to grab another addon to the load and it works fine enough at the moment

tropic gorge
#

Sometimes I like to tweak and tinker. And my God does plater support that

cinder storm
pallid quiver
#

No

tropic gorge
#

I don't

cinder storm
#

Base ui gets tainted quite easily

uneven mason
#

Elvui I found wasn't needed anymore

tropic gorge
#

Yeah using it now is totally optional, I just prefer it

#

I've used elv since like wotlk

pallid quiver
#

I'm very used to its base party frames and the look of the chat box

#

game looks weird without it at this point

tropic gorge
#

Same for me with elv. I'm really used to how it looks

uneven mason
#

The stock UI chat is fine and wa and plater carries the info I need, the only other addon I occasionally use is clique, because the mouse over casting in the stock UI is a pain to set up

cinder storm
#

Honestly, it's tilting going into a pack and getting the reload UI message

tropic gorge

tropic gorge
#

And swatter is freaking tf out

uneven mason
#

This action was stopped because Fuck you

tropic gorge
#

I had a similar issue at launch, an older addon wasn't being nice. I'd suggest going through your add-ons and removing stuff

cinder storm
#

Apparently it's the UI that got corrupted at some point, I've cleared most of my addons and whatnot but I have to do another clean

tropic gorge
#

You could always go scorched earth. Nuke em all and start over

cinder storm
#

Tried that

tropic gorge
#

And it was still broke?

#

At that point, I'd nuke my entire wow folder and reinstall to a different drive if you are able

#

Could also Google where (if not in the install directory) wow keeps its config files, nuke them and try to force it back into its default state

@strong forum yo nomeratur in one of your logs of SBG it says you were using spear, were you just trying it out?

tropic gorge
#

I low key miss having spear. I thought that was such a cool ass ability, and it's waterfall of rage was fun lol

strong forum
#

ya i was just memeing with spear

#

1st time using it in DF

limber flame
#

thought you were about to unleash some tech

strong forum
#

hell naw

#

spear is bad tech

pallid quiver
#

if only it could trap allies

#

then it'd at least have tech for murdering them for grieftorch cd smh

so how does one get a 421 forgestorm? Or is it just an MDI thing?

MDI thing

vernal vale
#

It's a good thing I personal log. They locked me out of the team logs lol

tropic gorge
#

Seeing pwar shine has inspired me to want to push m+ even more

vernal vale
#

There's the sennarth kill log

tropic gorge
#

Your dmg taken on that is really, really close to the 2 dps under you

#

I'm no pro, but that seems really good to me

vernal vale
#

I mean look at the ehrps and it tells quite a story about damage taken on that fight.

uneven mason
#

Check that ehrps

pallid quiver
#

can look at health values, even

tropic gorge
#

So, as I looked at dmg taken, that dk took a lot of dmg. Do they not have heavy mitigation? I thought they were parry gods

uneven mason
#

Fucking dead last

tropic tangle
#

all that healing shit aside

tropic tangle
#

I don't know how they're crawling up your ass when you're almost out DPSing the windwalker

pallid quiver
#

There were three times in the entire fight you even went below 50%

tropic gorge
#

Is ehrps= effective health return per second?

pallid quiver
#

and the time you died was because you got exploded on, mostly

uneven mason
tropic gorge
#

And , how do I view that? (I'm not familiar with looking deep into

It's under the Damage Taken tab

Trying to craft the Primal Molten defender shield., is 10k fee normal for this?

dusky canopy
#

Fairly norm yeah

#

Prices vary per server

stray dome
#

nah Ragnaros

lusty tiger
#

I will say rag players are the best pug arena partners

#

10k is a little expensive

tropic gorge
#

I've had both good and extremely poor experiences with rag players in m+

lusty tiger
#

Average rag player in m+ is like 2400io ret that won’t cc

stray dome
#

Yea got the Primal infusion and wanted to spend it on Shield, seemed like the best starting point for a 405. Dont mind spending 10k just dont wanna grosly overpay if its not needed 🙂

lusty tiger
#

10k is high end but not insane

vernal vale
tropic tangle
#

err

#

idk, 10k seems high for a 405

Then they don’t know what they doing

Missing taunts zzz

stray dome
#

also is there a way to sort out other services than crafting services? The constant spam of carries makes it hard to find the crafters..

tropic tangle
#

10k imo would be on the high end for someone skilled enough to hit your 418

vernal vale
#

Yeah, it was obvious they don't understand prot warrior or how to read logs

tropic tangle
#

it's not a rare recipe like lariat

stray dome
lusty tiger
#

10k gold is like $1.50 so it really depends on how that feels to u

#

Otherwise u gotta search around

tropic gorge
#

20 bucks for 163k when I looked at tokens 2 or so weeks ago

lusty tiger
#

It fluctuates but has been about 150k on average

Can i macro together Avatar, Demo shout, Trinket and Racial?

OK thanks

uneven mason

Vers is if you'd rather be a demon hunter and cry about your scars hurting when it's damp

lusty tiger

Vers healing is cringe for us tbh

I need more haste. Like a lot more

The only 2 tanks i played in Df are Prot warrior and BDK but i cry when i have people speeding past me when i play BDK. Durability feels equal

Specced into all 3 speed boosts still feels wheelchair

Why would u do that? For the vault?

I've tries 4 times In the last few years to level a paladin and. Man I just can't

I'd have shot whatever horse they hired for that divine steed

#

I was told earlier today by some of my guildies that are in the mid 390 ilvl that prot pally was best tank now and they had the nerve to discuss it in discord while I was there for like 10 minutes.

uneven mason

Because you hit divine steed and the feather priest zooms passed you

What should I do? 415 here

#

Do I cry or do I gquit

pallid quiver

Should I kick them out of the guild for having the gall

Leveling a prot war through dungeons. 2 questions. Do you’s take devastation talent that makes it passive and do you’s use slam?

Level as prot, pull half the zone and power level

I've leveled over 40 since classic did a hmt in preparch

Hello again guys, Im a mag'har orc, is it smart to macro in the racial which is a 2min cd into avatar? and just use it on CD or with Avatar?

lusty tiger
#

alternatively u can macro it to more abilities if youre worried about missing uses

celest aurora
#

Ohh thought its 2min or 1,5min cd

lusty tiger
#

avatar?

celest aurora
#

yea

lusty tiger
#

nah not w a proper rotation

celest aurora
#

So maybe macro it with shout?

#

demoralizing~

lusty tiger
#

macro it with all you Cds

#

it is off gcd so it shouldnt hurt u

only ensures more uses

Maybe with thunder clap then? something i use often

3 if you take intimidating shout

It's another aoe interrupt

#

Also Pummel is your default one

#

Especially for things that cannot be stunned

echo egret
#

Even better than crafted one ?

#

ofc

fallow nova
#

Isn't it basically equal in stats so it edges out to top due to its effect?

Except for a few dungeons where you’d struggle to get use out of it like CoS, temple, AV etc. it’s good in SBG, NO, RLP, AA imo

thoughts on BDK vs. prot pal? my group is hurting for a bres and i was thinking of leveling something up

oblique quarry
#

i love my blood dk, prot pal is up in the air until the pally rework

tropic tangle
#

prot pal is strong

#

think bdk still suffers some from low damage, but they're basically immortal on bosses

dapper vapor
#

Prot paladin is super good but much harder

#

BDK is much easier to just get online and be useful with imo

#

Both harder than warr obv

#

I’m just saying despite warrior being easy people still can’t play it right

vernal vale
#

Fair enough.

#

You missed out earlier. I got booted from my team for taking too much damage. Nomerators pinned build is wrong and prot discord analysis of my play is wrong.

#

Actual reply to me from the raid leads @chilly brook

chilly brook
#

Wut…..

#

Tf kinda guild is this?

#

Lemme guess? World 1500?

#

@vernal vale lmfao second lowest healing required from the entire raid

#

Basically double the DKs dps

#

Tf more do they want

#

So many knuckle dragging grey parsers

vernal vale
#

Lol, apparently to and I quote. "Be a tank that just doesn't die."

#

Yet they will not heal me for a straight 20sec on a fight.

chilly brook
vernal vale
#

They have only ever had monks and dks in the past so they really don't understand prot warrior at all

#

Needless to say I was leaving after last night but they booted me before I got a chance.

chilly brook
#

If you get booted it’s likely they just dislike you

#

Not normal for a “failed” trial

I've been with the team all tier suddenly they started complaining.

they're doing you a favor, aren't all the officers RL friends?

oh, I thought you mentioned that

I mean I admit when I'm fucking up. I didn't do perfect on my blocks last week. I swapped to bolster to go comfy on the shield block uptime

slim dove
#

so they just blankly said your not playing at 100%, gave 0 critique besides "your shit, get better"

slim dove
#

yeah thats not a critique.

vernal vale
#

That's logs from last night.

slim dove
#

you took half the damage of your co-tank for starters.

vernal vale
#

I didn't play perfect on terros I'll admit but the wipes where not really a me thing.

slim dove
#

your doing 13k more dps then him, hes fucking parsing gray as bdk lmao

vernal vale
#

As for thr few kurog pulls I just couldn't care to try at that point. I wasn't staying on the team but they booted me before I had a chance to leave

slim dove
#

yeah your not being healed just looking at the healer

#

they assume prot war = god and never needs a single heal

#

your prevoker did nothing but heal himself and your bdk.

chilly brook
#

The blood DKs healing is ass

slim dove
#

it really is.

vernal vale
#

all those critiques where given last week here but i was told the critiques of the prot warrior discord don't matter

slim dove
#

but i dont want to shit on his co-tank

#

ohh you were here last week

#

right

#

where your healers literally dont heal you

chilly brook
#

It’s not really about shitting on the cotank

#

It’s just so uneven

#

The blame being levied that is

slim dove
#

i wonder do they talk to the NINE dps parsing gray?

like, you've got a druid that healed you for a whopping 900 HPS over the whole fight lol

personally like it more than war

#

theres more things you can do

#

rotation wise

#

lets just say i copy pasted my pwar WA and change spell names as i level

#

by like 66 its pretty much the same

#

i think vicotry rush is the only thing left

#

i mean

chilly brook
#

Prot pally is eh

sick sentinel
#

this is like 70% why people like prot pal at cutting edge keys

chilly brook
#

Unless something majorly changed

sick sentinel
#

and this is the other 30%

#

everything else is inline utility

#

freedom etc

#

also you can do impossible pulls with bubble taunt

chilly brook
#

But tbh holy power is bleh

sick sentinel
#

i dont think prot pally come close to pwar in terms of regular tankiness and damage

#

but the utility is insanely broken rn

chilly brook
#

Utility has always been there

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sick sentinel
#

yea but like

#

you never needed this much interrupts

chilly brook
#

Questionable comment

sick sentinel
#

until you hit high forti NO

#

no dude

chilly brook
#

You definitely needed a lot of interrupts in SL

sick sentinel
#

no no not like rn

#

nowhere near

slim dove
#

rn it feels pretty obscene

#

but i didnt play SL.

sick sentinel
#

you simply dont have enough interrupts

#

like you run out

like DHT on tyr was a mess.

sick sentinel
#

let me show you

chilly brook
#

You also ran out of interrupts in pulls in HoA

sick sentinel

but you had be

#

anyway

#

this thing does not have a cd

which means everytime your interrupt's silence times out

chilly brook
sick sentinel

itll start casting again

chilly brook
#

Blood elf didn’t silence in SL

sick sentinel
#

oh hoa

#

hey i mean

#

agree to disagree

chilly brook

I don’t disagree that the amount of kicks needed are probably a bit over the top

But we’ve been trending this direction ever since BFA
