or is that magic too?
Think it works
Damn make sure to get belf rogues for this week!
There was an pin for Embellishments but I can't find it anymorw. Was it outdated?
Lariat, FFBelt + food ontop
I ain't paying 80k for flavour pocket
evoker has an aoe rage dispel thats on a 1 min cd i think but reduces by x seconds for how many rages it dispels
also is there anything i can do as a prot to keep my team alive aside from rallying cry
Farm it then
I'd still be paying 80k for it since I could just sell it for 80k
Well ehat else is gold for
Wdym recrafts is free ๐
Rogue, Hunter, Druid, and Evoker (with Evoker and Rogue on potentially longer/longer CD). Every other purge you're thinking of is magic.

Dw, kite
so we inv hunter again this week? because they cant die on bosses ๐
Evoker is quite strong if they use their soothe at the right time
Because it gets reduced by 20 seconds every target they soothe
So 5 targets means it only has a 20 second CD which is plenty of time before next pack rages
My server was dead so I had to pay the only one that I was able to find 
Every recraft for me is 15-25k
And then they disappear so you can't even get them to recraft it again later on if you get a conc or whatever
๐
Ah that is okay
I ment recraft, in range of one upgrade
Shadow, Boomie, DH + evoker would be nice comp for this week
I only payed 10k and I tought that was too much!
Dmg taken>hover the hits will tell you blocked hits
i see, thanks
i see in someones log 55% blocked hits on mythic terros by their prot warr
isn't that
like
kinda bad
i figured
Not just all damage taken
i did
yeah 55% melee is really bad
Then yeah 55% is bad, especially on a patchwork lol
ur kinda actively inting if you can't achieve higher with all the talents and help you have
i had a feeling
it was a guild who wants to recruit me, but have trouble on that kind of stuff
I got 82% on Mythic Eranog and I had been awake for 24 hours, playing like crap and learning the fight
๐ค
so not sure if i wanna go there if they are having trouble keeping their tank alive cuz he sucks at using SB
xd
Not tried mythic terros yet
What's their dps?
20k
8 log
i mean, im not a tank, but i figured this would be the place to ask it :D
im arms
What's his co-tanks damage and spec?
yeah get out of there
i had a feeling
Yeah these guys are doing LFR tier damage
its interesting
yea
I seriously don't even know how you do 20k damage
where do i check cpm
Like you have to just not press anything
casts
me neither
casts tab
i have better prot logs by just playing casually on prot
whats the cpm
that you should have
on prot?
like 65-75

depends on the fight somewhat
take a guess, mythic terros
35?
29
49.6 CPM and 20k dps?
Are they just not using CDs?
how you do 20k dps
idk man
What is he even pressing?
pressing wrong buttons probably
Spammin IP
I shockwave when I accidentally ragestarve myself lmfao
haha
tho I wouldn't have it specced for terros
i guess.
im definetly not a prot pro / main, but this doesn't look too amazing
not that im the best arms player in the world
but yeah
im skipping out on this guild
i think
Its amazing how bad it is
hes probably rage capped all time during that fight
Isn't avg shield slam at 21k kinda low?
im just checking
i did more damage on prot
on my logs
in december
at ilvl
389
than he does
on 415
oh nvm then
Was his weapon broken?
don't think so
I'm all out of ideas!
melee wouldn't have done that much damage otherwise
Bloodsurge
opener?
Aight I think this is a talent issue
yikes
he used impending victory earlier than sb
idk
out of idea's too
anyway
thanks for the insights
ill be skipping out :D
Should i take 415 Cape of the Duskwatch or stick with the potion-stained cloak and upgrade it?
is this good?
is leech good for prot warriors? just got 2 low ilvl (head and legs ) items with leech on while grinding +2's for valor
should i upgrade my hoof or ruby to 415 and play bonemaw and one of those? or bonemaw with bone and have two on use trinkets ๐
what are the best trinkets from m+?
windscar ftw
windscar, trampling hooves, blazebinder's hoof
How do you guys do the last few packs on AA?
I usually just do two double pulls
Bottom of stairs + top of stairs
then mobs on grass + doorway and run inside
howeeeever, someone literally always dies to the beyblades
2 pulls.
-4 dudes from below + 3 guys from top of stairs;
-Pack infront of door + pack to the right of door.
If someone dies to beyblades that's on them.
Cba babysitting.
i have to babysit or the people i play with get poopy with the healer and blame them
apparently i should sleep based on having to edit that message 5 times
literally my monk throwing keys because he's too stubborn to move out "because someone should've CC'd"
thanks
yo, anyone know if the wolves tricks has been fixed today in HoV
Which one?
when you put a caster on the fence
It didn't work for me last week either, but I was told it wasn't fixed and I just did it wrong
๐ค
Idk, we tried it on a 23 and diddn't work.
Last week.
But my route doesn't really pull wolves anyways, so irrelevant.
I did it monday and it worked well so I don't know
I think it still works, the caster just has to be right in the middle of the bollard
just play wolves after boss and casters jumping on stone behind wolf boss like in mdi
It is very finnicky at best.
It worked for me last week, but the ranged had to be on the pillar before we pulled
i just took the wrong thing out of the vault
sadge.

For current affixes mplus.sub says were B tier?
the fuck is mplus.sub
Naa, we F tier.
Garbage.
Only worse tank is druid
That's G Tier ๐
The way i play, it's definitely G tier.
LOL
subcreation
I think it might be a problem with sample size
S is pala, a is empty
seems legit
what is tier
spell block for skellies in SBG a bad idea?
spell block for void slash is pretty common
void slash?
Anyone else having problems with Automarker wa since last weeks reset? Was using dorki's and it just didnt mark anymore even after deleting and reimporting the wa
yes automark is broken
not bad because they truck but you can also just kite/outrange them
are crit haste feet our best option?
probably, a sim would be able to tell you for sure
dont have anything else
to sim with
and was just wondering if I should upgrade them to 411
yeah those are good stats to upgrade
thank you
sir, subcreation is just a popularity website based on the CURRENT AFFIX ROTATION
would you replace brood ring proc vs AA ring?
reset JUST HAPPENED
i have FF Belt
pog
RLP NEW SMBG
@strong forum what are your thoughts on my sim if you can look for a sec?
the data couldnt possibly be wrong
dont play brood unless its 431 ring
would you value 1.5k dps vs brood ring shield?
dps > 418 brood
so swap to my AA ring got it
https://gyazo.com/03e6e822c99999fe9bb85c3037df3488?token=a77fa48e0345c67e4cd824fa225ec6bf
even though tier lists/subcreation is a bit weirdge i like how neatly this list looks for the raid
wait
subcreation said so
bear better then bdk
xd
xd
such bs
be a smart person and NEVER look at subcreation for any kind of lists
the only thing you can do
is copy DPS PLAYERS talent builds and trinkets from there
not healer, not tank anything
only dps
cuz a DPS' goal is 1dimensional
tank and healer arent
It's literally just a stack ranking of dps
Putting it in an s-f rank system skews the data
That list is based on dps output from parses iirc
Cuz it's a quick key to get catalyst charges
Based on key
So if pally is the only class that does 26s
Well, it's S tier
If everyone else does 25s, they're a, paladin s
Regardless of dps
5 tanks pog
It ranks key level done first and foremost
If you're doing more dps but on a lower keylevel, get fucked you're still a tier lower
That's my problem with tier lists as a whole, they take qualitative data and display it quantitatively and it skews perception. Just because warrior is "first" and bdk is "last" doesn't mean bdk is bad.
It promotes a fallacy to the community, it's actively dangerous and they should just delete them
tldr misleading statistics
I will die on the "fuck tier lists" hill lol
Yes
preaching to the choir honestly
Tierlists are never accurate
everyone hates tier lists here
Feelsgoodtho
There's tier lists on wowhead
Those aren't made by big brains
there will be no tier list that you can generalise to the entirety of the playerbase
Go look on a per fight basis
Tettles and Dratnos may be active alot, but they're by no means experts on all specs and classes, nobody is
kungen is
Which is unfortunate
That money speaks louder than burying poor data evaluation
It's the same reason why pwar was so popular until now
If I have to pug, I will usually take people with decent rating but playing an "off-meta" spec; chances are they kn ow their class better than a FOTM reroller
Misinformation
Pally was always the better ultra key tank
But people got baited hard by every streamer and their mom screaming that pwar is the OP must play tank
This
I do this and also look at completed keys
Someone with 5 15+ keys and 4 20+ keys is probably not going to be as solid as someone with 50-60 15+ and 4-5 20+ keys
Very underwhelming
If possible replace soon
With icon/all-totem/whetstone/grieftorch
guessing for m+ its decent
No, it's bad all around at least for prot.
It's not decent
but dratnos said it was good 
wowhead scamming me?
The only tank it's not trash for is brew cuz brew gets 65% larger shields
i mean i have a puzzle box/hoof/whetstone
Then just run hoof+whetstone
since im more of a fury main
Whetstone is the bomb for M+
I go Icon/All-totem in Raids
It's not a trinket I'd Label as "good"
so what your saying is I shouldnt just copy the top talent build for each boss on subcreation for my reclear later? 
For bosses, you just copy top parses from wcl
Not some dumb compilation usage list
In general, if you want to copy, do it from Warcraftlogs
Not from a compilation website
is it me or tjs last pack is harsh af
It's tjs
on a +19 i was getting shred
That pack is the most overpowered pack in the game
The third boss and that pack are notoriously strong.
It's pretty nasty; spell block, spell reflect, wall and if necessary kite
blizzard really just said "yeah lets just fuck with tanks" when they randomly put that pack in the dungeon
I don't mine challenging packs; it keeps people on their toes. Putting it right between 2 bosses is a bit harsh tho
Well Sbg is pretty on brand as the accepted easiest dungeon, but triple Shadow slash (might be void slash) in the beginning gets me a laugh any time someone isn't ready for it.
Temple really is just where they chose to have that pack.
hey guys before i start this week m+ madness, i certainly know want mainly classes which can dispel enrage? but which classes actually can?
i beleive its priest with md, rsham with purge
but theres for sure more, mbe hunt pets?
When you look at armory profile of prot wars. Is their Haste stat so high because it includes talent "Into the Fray"? (Increase haste by 2% per ally or enemy standing near you up to 10%)
Druids, I think Evoker that ability too but only talented.
@split remnant oh ye i have almost 50 with itf, in m+ i feel like im on perma drums
Uh oh
Yes but I want to know if it shows up on their profile permanently
how much u saw?
Because highest rated prot warriors have 35% haste and I have 27% without Into the Frey (I am standing near noone)
35 is without itf
Thats impossible
neither md nor purge dispel enrage
you need hunter (tranq shot, they need to talent it), rogue (shiv) or evoker (oppresing roar(?) they also need to talent it)
They have Higher crit then me, same amount of mastery and higher vers while having higher haste?
How is that possible?
higher ilvl
sockets mbe when they dont find anything in vault
also hoof trinket
500 haste free
Hoof trinket?
oh and druid
Oh he doesnt have that
Like this guy
I am dumb
I can just llook at myself ๐
Yep
its wrong
I dont have 34% haste
In game
I have 27.49%
well this is propably with itf u could jsut compare his number stat and eprcentage?
not rocket science
but its actually bullshiet
but with itf yours should be 37.49 in that case no?
4,5k haste is not 35 haste
25
so he is somehwere in city and get like few percentage itf i would assume
when he was screenshoted on armory
It shows outrageous haste on every prot war on armory
I think it just includes talents
He has 200 haste more than me
exactly
and he has higher haste %
lower stat value
but my in game value as fury matches my armory one
๐คท
I mean they can have stats that high
will check as prot later
Math just isnt mathing
how does he have every single stat except mastery higher than me
While being the same ilvl.
his haste jsut from items is like 3,7k and he is 4,4k so....i would not take stats seriously tbh
So how many stats people have is calculated based on their last "place" in real worlf of warcraft rather than it just calculating raw stats?
Thats weird.
i mean u can count all of ur stats together and see result and compare it with him
ill do it im curious
his haste is 4127 but armory showing 4470 ๐คท
idk weird
Btw What flasks and potions are you guys using?
oh but howling rune is on his weapon on armory lmao
so that's +310
and that makes it, or close enough
I used to use Glacial Fury. Is it still the best or are you guys using something else?
Eye in the storm in m+
Tepid vers in raid
Glacial fury gets worse the more ilvl you have
It scool how much research you guys do
I just press buttons and it may work out somehow
his total stats 11045, mine total stats 11686 and i have hoof and whetstone so its 11686 - 1063, which is 10623 he has 3 sockets and i have 2 so difference between me and him 11045-10623-103 for hissocket(so we equalize) which is 319 difference, now my item level is 416 his is 419 but it can be also me is 415,8 and he is 419,4, so i believe this is jsut 319 stats diffenrece from those 3 ilvls, mainly because his ring is 431 and mine is 415 which is jsut by ring 150 stat diff
ye makes sense to me
percentage on haste can be bugged somehow but numbers are total fine
hi, im about to start m 10 + and is a bit worried about handling the thundeirng affix. is it primarily my job to clear my own debuff?
no u tank
they changed it recently so that the tank is ALWAYS red, and then dps/healer are always 2 blue 2 red
so they never need you
like im usually helping pugs because last thing i want see is thunder in my face but jsut when its super safe and no cleave
melee can clear on you if it's safe/they want to
but you shouldnt move for it unless absolutely necessary
ok, so its fine to let the debuff expire on myself?
as long as the rest are cleared, which they should be
ye but as i said dont trust pugs, try to do it by urself when u see melee close to you
if to dangerous for dps
I'd recommend a weakaura to track if others have it
but its not ur main job rly
ur job is tank, route, knowledge, tempo, survive,
and decent deeps
I usually let dps/healers handle this, as alot of mobs have some kind of frontals/cleaves its not safe to spin around them, but when timer is ticking close, I just jump into them and dont give a single F if they get hit by any of these frontals 
Gomez puts Fester's Quest out of it's misery in AVGN 34!!

Nin...
yogis view on keys above 15 this week
@hardy snow exactly i also jump when its 2 seconds or less, if someone dies go fuck urself bro, like i dont udnerstand why so amny people have tendency solve it on last second when u can do it instantly and chill
especially for example NO last boss, he cast upheaveal when u have to spread, ye imagine holding thudnering and get upheaveal(happened milion times to me) so people have to stack for thudnering but also spread for upheaveal ye gj bois
its not good to do instantly, this buff is quite useful
but they have enough time to use it and then safely clear
i dislike having to try to find aomeone and then move to them to cleae, cuz it can create someone gets cleaved scenario
Idk where the message to me gone
but I just wanted to say your hate is 33% because all your other stats are ass
haste*
i already made math dont know why u still digging into it, i have 5,4k haste, 3,2k crit, 2,1k mastery, 1,1k versa i feel super nice
My message wasnt to you
someone said
that he is 413ivl and has 33% haste without ITF
So I said that his other stats are lower because of it.
I like to keep my balance, 33% haste isnt good I think.
it is good, so u can play itf and have perma shield block uptime
@ionic plank so only aoe dispel enrage has priest with md?
md isnt a soothe, its a dispel
so u cant md enrage? aha okay
what about blood elf race can arcane torment negate it?
nope
This is not true at all.
You want as much haste as you can get up to like 7600 witch isnโt obtainable
You do not need Vers
Bait stat
im thinking, last week bolstering, when u have mob with 4-5 stack bolstered can it be compared to enrage + forti combo in terms of dmg? i dont know what expect from mobs this week
Crit is second best
Mastery doesnโt hurt
Crit/haste is the play and then Whatever else you land on
And you switch to itf once youโre high haste because you donโt need hr to maintain shield block at that point
I thought vers was better than crit for raid due to the inconsistency of parry?
So youโll get more damage from itf
Crit gives you damage
More than Vers
Run a dungeon and find out
And also has the added chance to parry
@round pendant well ye i have 22 key so dont want fuck up, guess ill try some 18-19 and see
My phrasing was not clear, what if you are looking to survive more and damage is not an issue?
Would u then avoid Seal of Diurna since it gives no haste?
I mean sure then Vers would survive better than Crit that is still true
But that is not the way
@sick sentinel well more dmg more IP aswell, faster boss/mobs death, less dmg taken
Iโm still unsure why that changed so much tho?
Vers was good in bfa because corruptions allowed you to get 40% +
try 80+
You canโt stack it high enough to make it valuable
jsut paly aggresive im 90 percent time battle stance trying kill mobs asap, when mobs dead they cant do dmg
Well right but you got the point
before it gets good due to DR
But when I look at all best players and MDI builds they are stacking versโฆ?
it sounds simple but its right mindset i believe
wait u talk about mdi?
Is wildly different
lo they have gear from enxt expansion
MDI is not representative of what you'll be doing in your keys lmao
Than what you or I should be doing
This needs to be bolded and underlined lol
@crystal mauve mdi never comapre they have gear from next expansion and cheese special items which does isnane dmg etc dont ever look on it
@crystal mauve put it this way. If a Prot war plays like ass Vers wonโt save you. And it gives you less overall damage than Crit would so why stack it?
The answer is you donโt. 
and play special tactics where they need special stats
also crit gives parry chance
See, I was new to DF and followed the Wowhead Prot Warrior guide
and i bvelieve it also speeds ur healign from ip and crit heals u get from healers
Noms nick name right now is literally โparrygodxโ
Now I'm styacked outta the ass on verse and have a long grind out of it lol


@dusky canopy actually doesnt crit also inc ur effectivenes of healing from ip and leech and self healin talents? it can more crit? also more healing from healers or jsut self heal?
which is kind of a bait. Math wise parry >> vers, but on huge ass tank busters I'd rather have consistent -5-10% damage taken than a random chance to fully deny dmg.
Tho crit is always nice for dps
True, I like crit for damage and parry un key where the number of hit reduce the variance at least. Anyway I donโt really have a lot of cases where I can choose between two pieces with the highest ilvl and different stats. I could recraft Lariat I guess
@brittle silo half tbs in this game can be reflected more like half
you're overthinking stats frankly
If you play correctly every โtank busterโ is already mitigated before considering Vers
i enver died on tb
How are you guys liking to pull hov construct, the pathing one inside the first indoor area.
u reflect or just victory rush back plus ip shield
Do you pull it with the three center mobs
dont pull it
like for example ruby life pool all bosses tbs can be reflected
azure vault again all tbs can be reflected
True this, just get ilvl until you have two pieces at the same ilvl then you worry about stats In witch case haste>Crit>=Vers>mastery
I donโt understand what you mean with crit and IP, can you elaborate? How does crit make Ip better? With 4P?
ofc u can use skills not to get 1shot by tbs. It's just vers vs crit discussion. Pure defensive wise vers is just more consistent than parry chance
2nd boss is bleed, isn't it?
Cant reflect RLP 2nd tank buster tho
This is true but not the play imo
@crystal mauve more dmg u do more ip u stack on urself
@crystal mauve u reflect add aoe
no you parry that one
If somebody asks the question about stat prio it's safer to recommend consistency imho
Add aoe is not tank buster tho, I though you mean the bleed
the real stat prio is strength>>>haste>everything else
This
@crystal mauve i paly mainly withe voker who negates bleeds so im not even thinking about bleeds
which is also think u play with some teammates which can help u with tbs
in some way
u reduce dmg taken by 20% (?)
Lucky you ๐ฅน I just canโt survive RLP23 (Tyra) 2nd boss as non dwarf
@brittle silo when i relfect add aoe i took zero dmg always, with stacked ip
also high avoidance i guess
Tbf though telling people to stack Vers isnโt exactly leading them in the best direction
How do I not pull it ? Just wait for it to pat and pray we have the DPS to clear the hall ?
The only boss I struggle with is 3rd TJS boss.. f that jade kick shit
Before it comes back ?
Ye, me neither. I'm just nitpicking. It's not negating damage, it's reducing. Hence my comment
Is it possible for us to interrupt Frost Overload using Disrupting Shout in the same way paladins can do it with Avenger Shield/Divine Toll?
You can only do so much, your healer must be good too there
Yeah Evoker is game changer on blazehoof
@crystal mauve nah, big def cd, stacked ip, shield block, victory rush back, i have 10 percent versa with tepid flask and not have issue on 22 like menaing im not evne close to death
and im speaking with pug without evo
@brittle silo ye ofc my bad with english explanation
Played with disco priest last time on 23. Wasn'e able to outheal absorb. I lived through 1st strike. 2nd one just dunked me down. And it was IV/potted :v
Iโve only seen blazehoof at +21tyr and I survived it with 3% Vers and a Resto shaman

@brittle silo but u got point, spell reflect to much op i would ignore versa, dont know at leats on my 20-23 keys, i dont know what happens beyond it but i would say it same shiet and just dps do more dps so u kill faster or bye bye
Here is what happened in my 23 Tyra last week. Shield block/shield wall/Def stance and stacked IP. I died in 3.3Secโฆ
Right
The way I survived my +22 was Healthstone, Health pot, last stand, rally, IV, def stance and some defs here and t here
but it was a nail biter
Wait nvm, is divine star the frontal thing that goes back and forth?
i mean whole that time u didnt have shield wall
He used it on 95%
Look at the time on the left
Shield wall was 3.3 seconds ago
death was 0 seconds ago
Wait. How u got 90k hit?!
Weren't u eating that to your back?
It's the dot that is the tankbuster
Oh he didnโt pre shield wall
i was confused because i saw eleemntal dmg on the end
not the inithit
Thatโs the goof
Shouldnโt matter
Wait wait
Yes
He got hit to the back
That isnโt the issue
He could of already been 95%
4 hits. 90k each
90k hits seem too high to be blocked
Even w/o IP u shouldn't get hit 90k each with wall
True, especially not with wall
Yo, quick question: When do I replace my Cobalt assembly ring?
Honestly he couldnt have really stacked more
When ever something sims higher
As soon as possible with better stats
You donโt need the absorb
Ah okay, thanks!
Basically 4 init hits shouldn't even get you below 80% hp. It's the dot that is making my asshole sweat
Healer pretty much didnโt heal you. They were most likely running around instead of healing
You died in dstance and wall
I don't understand how people in high keys on RLP don't understand the second boss
You can run 'sideways' to both block and don't loose too much movement speed btw
no he just turned his back to the boss
@brittle silo or u leap away ๐
I had a DH yesterday in a +20 TJS that kept dying to the erupting water. "I wAsN'T eVeN iN tHe WaTeR??????"
they brain dmged
still, leap sideways. Searing blows is ranged. Boss can hit you to the back in a leap. But yea, leap trivializes a lot
@brittle silo i mean what i do i stay next to aoe add with boss next to me but im on 90 angle with my path so im movihn with boss out liek we dance together facing each toehr and i mvoe with D button out
Really find it amusing when the havoc tryโs to flame you for frontals too lmao
I've just been lurking reading this whole thread. Enjoyable content.
Although I'm scared to lose Vers! I make mistakes sometimes. Obviously that shouldn't happen, but doesn't the extra vers help a little with damage reduction?
I'm specifically asking in regards to Tyr bosses, not the add packs
it's exactly what I meant. We're on a same side in here. Just reminding that on a leap aswell as I used to do this mistake, and wondering why did I got 80% health drop ๐
@brittle silo ye maybe leap is not good i think it puts u on back situation evne on milisecond thats true
Itโs not totally wrong to have Vers itโs just not necessary, also Crit gives more damage.
If you feel safer running it go for it
sure it "helps" but the extra DR is almost never enough to keep you alive anyway
on tyr bosses vers will help you more than crit. Although 3-4% DR ( I guess it's max amount u can wiggle w/o losing ilvl) won't be gamechanger. Treat it as nice to have and don't bother with changing whole gear in order to get some
if I have a +19 dungeon in tyr and +17 fort, how many points will I get for getting fort to +19?
like 10 % vers is 5 % DR and that aint gonna save you from anything
~8-10
@vale dust but the thing is, more dmg u do, faster boss is killed, it maybe doesnt look as much but tis diff if i do 45k st and other tank do 30k st, also IP with 4set returns 15 percent dmg u do into shield, again doesnt look much but if i do 55k overall dmg and u do 40k overall dmg it can be for example 5mil more shield on my side form doing more dmg
You will succeed with better play not because you had Vers to โmaybeโ survive a mistake
@vale dust alkso im spending 80-90 percent time in battle stance in 20+ keys with correct def rotation knowing when use what, its not about versa rly
FREE points right there my guy! Go get โem
Dunno how I only 1*'d that CoS 16
So real talk how often are people running in defensive stance? I pretty much sit in battle stance most of the time and only switch to defensive for really heavy damage. Haven't had any complaints from my healers so far
like we warriors have so inane tool kit(spell reflect and spell block) that u can be battle stance on high magic pack pull and fapping with spell block for example
Only to dr a tank buster
the higher u go the better players u get. 20s are kind of a sweetspot. Many people are doing weeklies on their alts so they just know how to play
Otherwise bstance
lmao 5/8 of my fortified keys aren't timed lmao
I suppose I shouldn't rely on vers to make up for my mistakes.
I have an example but don't have the logs handy ATM.
Last boss in AV.
I didn't have my Reflect up in time and had already used my Wall for a Dragon Strike. Basically I took one Dragon Strike without reflect it Shield Wall (I had block and IP up) and it did about 90% of my health! It was only a 20 Tyr too ๐ญ
wdym, only to 3 bosses kekw
crawth/blazehoof/flameheart. Or when I fuck up, which surely of course never happens
I've never put my back to the mobs and dropped 100-20 real quick
It feels fucking awful to use dstance against 2nd rlp boss tho
or crawth
or any bleeds tbh
@brittle silo when i think about it bird is only boss where im some time def stance, jsut when he autoattacks plus tb still half time u spend bstance(when he does all other shiet ๐ )
Cause you're nerfing yourself for a bleed that's coming right back shortly after
is hunger of pack good trinket for prot ?
No but that chest is.
Ehhhh
Ye. strike can 1shot u w/o DOT if you dont play something.
or when u use def kit i go bstance with shield wall, last stand or even with shield charge cause u spam ips liek crazy god
Do you already have both 421 tier chest and 421 tier gloves?
hunger of the pack is fine
this is what i use
I use Hunger currently, no better trinket atm
Once we're over fireballs stun I stay perma in dstance. Healer got enough to worry about not to top me everytime
@vale dust u use spell reflect on 10 percent of ds cast so its back for next one, if u dont have spell relfect u have spell block which negates 90 percent of dmg
@brittle silo sure healer not panicking and i know its not my personal one i also go def stance perma full so he is calm
so i take that chest and make it to tier ?
use catalyst for both the gloves and chest
421 pack is just huge ass statstick tbf
my gloves are crit haste , still make them to tier ?
Youโd have better times with all totem/hoof/whetstone
it will change to fixed tier stats
No keep gloves
๐
@dusky canopy so chest and make it to tier then as i am using 418 tier chest ?
ill fight that one haha. There would be no progression
Yes 421 tier chest is bis you already have bis gloves and pack is meh
ok ths

Nah trinkets should be valuable based on their effect/use, progression would be getting an objectively better trinket (for whatever use-case) or just alternative ones for different situations
oh yea, I forgot tier gloves stats are dogshit
Going from a 395 to a 402 to a 405 trinket/etc of the same trinket is meh and feels like a pointless number increase
DoS scale would like to have a talk with you ^^
yea thats all the gear though IMO haha
what even is that take, that's like every piece of gear

I agree that specific uses like cheat death or something are broken on every ilvl and that doesn't change at all with upgrades. But on the other hand u have windscar which is just hugeassdpsonuse where the ilvl upgrade is required
Also one more nit pick, that broodkeeper ring is beans get something with better stats, farm cos ring or something
Cheers
Removing ilvl from trinkets would require to rework trinkets itself. Windscar in that case should have removed any base dmg and just scale off the player stats
There's various neat trinkets from world content that aren't used because you'll never get them above like 380 ilvl
Which would disrupt player progression path a little bit
Their effects could scale on your mainstat or whatever else
Trinkets are supposed to be utility or extra abilties, feels fucking stupid to have that scale on where you got the drop from
and let's keep it that way. world content is meant to be locked on certain ilvl. And I'm 100% in on that take
It's literally a dead item when it could be useful and more fun things, how is that good?
yeah, farming world content late into a patch for trinket drops would be fucking awful
Ilvl is good
Yeah because farming CoS 50 times for a whetstone is fun?
yea, i dont believe a casual player should have the same level of power, even if it's just trinkets
open world content is meant as a progression for new characters or a casuals which are fine with not a high ilvl
no, but having to do both?
Imagine having to farm bell like u did in SL

I'm talking about trinkets specifically lmao, they're not gonna magically have the same power level as someone doing raids/m+
That's what it will be like. If you have some random way to upgrade open world items to m+/mythic level you'll have double the item pool to balance
What
Id be more in line with making OP trinkets easier to get instead of farming dungs 1000 times
than to remove ILVL
Idk I donโt want easy to get max ilvl gear
It should be hard
Itโs the whole reason gear drops are exciting
I'm not saying treat them like fuckin maxed out gear for the season
I'm saying remove their ilvl and scale their effects to your overall ilvl or mainstat
I mean, it does feel completely bad when you have a shit vault 6 times in a row trinket wise, and all your friends are getting 421 whetstones and shit
Also true @cloud umbra
That way, all the dead content trinkets are... useful?
RNG too much sometimes
so now trinkets in your vault are a dead slot
no matter what?
Trinket are too much of a power spike. It would be a nightmare to balance imho
Hey they aren't completely dead, they were being used in the MDI ๐
lol, just thinking like, cool, two trinkets and a sidegrade would be useless because the whetstone from +2 cos is the same as your vault trink
i have cos ring and i have ring from nokhund with socket in it all 405 could upgrade them, is it really bad on prot ?
wdym, how would it be a dead slot
which would be dogshit as u have 1kill of a raidboss a week. And u can kill elites daily. And farm endlessly m+
The absorb is meh and the massive mastery is reallly mehh Iโd valor cos ring to 415 imo
Unless you're talking about like the potential 418/421 trinkets currently
if trinkets have no ilvl, then a cos +2 drop is equivalent to a maxed vault slot
You could sim both at 415 and see what wins Iโm guessing itโll be cos ring even without socket but sockets do have a lot of value
trinkets from DF dungeons you'd just spam normal to get it which would feel so stupid
or like having to run LFR for chance at icon / eranog ring
I like trinkets as a concept I just think it's trash how there's like 6 viable ones
- you're acting like they wouldn't just redesign the loot pools for em
not ring
i can agree with that yam. Bringing the shit trinkets up to the insane trinkets would fix a lot of issues
1 of nokhund rings has socket it in cos one doesnt
there's a ton of trinkets in the m+ pool that are just throwaway
then a world boss trinket becomes bis and you kill it every time it's up for the entire expansion and never get the drop

^
i either then equip instead cos ring that is crit haste , or nokhund ring with socket that is vers haste,or 1 can craft 1x ring 418 with haste vers ?
I despise world bosses
same its brainless
I mean, again, the content is there for bridging the gap into M+ / raiding much like other open world content
some might get that as a 'content' but for anybody that runs m+/raids it's just a catchup mechanic ^^
I think you'd be surprised how many people never set foot into m+ and raiding and that open world content is their endgame
so you hate world bosses. good news, you don't have to farm them (or other open world content) for an upgrade past a certain point
it could be a cool idea if ilvl was irrelevant for trinkets
it wouldnt mean "people who dont do raids get the bis gear for free"
because their effectiveness would scale with your stats
it would just mean some cool effects that get lost within 1 reset might still be usable
but there would have to be some big logistical changes to how you acquire some trinkets (like world bosses)
(and quite a bit of balancing work on the dev end so it's not happening
)

I mean. It canโt be that hard. Make them like PVP gear and just add the scaling factor ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ seems like the foundation is there.
wait, wdym
I haven't stepped foot into PVP since 15 years so I honestly dont know what you mean
PVP gear already has 2 sets of stats. Your reg ilvl and then your PVP ilvl and it scales whether youโre in PVP or not.
Foundations wise though, we already get scaling gear from quests and events like timewalking.
I think more the reason they wouldnโt do it is because itโs less incentive to farm new content for gear if a trinket you really like can stay relevant.
there is an argument to do that for m+ entirely to separate m+ and raid gearing 
This might be a thing, but tbf all the trinkets are a copy of sth from the past anyway. The specific ones like cheatdeath from CN Kael have rare usecases anyway. Other ones are just 'press me to do dmg'
whats best way to farm fast alot valor ?
doing low lvl keys ?
like how low what lvl of keys ?
+2 rlp
As I'd love that cause I'm doing only m+ this season, I'd say that more than half of m+ players are doing raid aswell
confirmed tjs is 420 blazingly fast
Why is RLP s tier this week?
for baby valor keys
kk
Raid gearing feels like shit.
I think the fastest we mowed down RLP was a touch above 8 minutes lol
And yeah. Raid gearing has been a slog.
It needs to be modernised and Mythic needs the id locks removed
Also why do I get a 415 in the vault for killing shit in mythic but a +20 is significantly easier and I get a 421?
because only hard mob there this week is stormdrake tbf
Do it in 3 pulls
- To first boss
- All elementals to 2nd boss
- Run to miniboss
I donโt even have that big an issue with loot rolls. I have an issue with the first few weeks of lockouts people were able to need roll on things they shouldnโt have been able to.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEnVifMt4qs this absolute shit show of a key i ran yesterday and the video, my reaction to it
Gordon Freeman, Barney Calhoun, and Adrian Shephard are literally me.
#halflife #edit #blackmesa #gaming #meme #literallyme #gordonfreeman
I do agree the raid vault is WEAK in terms of difficulty per ilvl reward.
Makes Raiding even less desirable to me ๐
Why wouldn't you leave
I saw guilds having 3/8M with they're roster not timing 16s 
cuz i caused 2 of the group wipes by double pulling cinder bolt packs twiice
This has probably been answered, but what do I train my dragon for if I have ruby whelp shell. Is it a viable tanking trinket? Pretty much exclusively running M+
That shouldn't be a wipe in +12 hehe
ST
what trinket should i upgrade to go with my rlp one ? my boon is normal raid lvl ,is burgeoning seed good to upgrade ?
lots of randomg nothing deaths on trash probably lead to why i wasn't playing right, but im not gunna make that excuse
Whetstone
Thanks! Appreciate it
someone in the group at the end pointed out "healer cant heal"
If it makes you feel better I ran one yesterday I thought would be easy valor, and 2 of the DPS and the healer acted like theyโd never seen the dungeon before. Heals died 2-3 times before the first boss.
so not your fault. ggez.
What embelishement are high io prot war using? Beside the food buff
i don't know if thats true or i was just taking too much damage and they have to heal me over others
Thatโs hard to say without a log, but Iโve seen some shenanigans the last two weeks
im willing to bet if checked the log for it, i'd see 50-70% blocks
down from what it should be
as a tank you're never mistaken. you overestimated your team 
I think people got carried up while we were farming valor and are trying to run keys now
My god, I just met you but you seem pretty brilliant and smart
as prot should i stay in prot stance all the time?
Battle stance baby
as a tanks we all are ๐ง
All day. Treat it like a defensive cooldown if necessary, but should be mostly battle stance
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/rjZTcxABfyRmgLNw/#fight=last i didnt check anything at all on this key, time to see shit blocks, and tons of wasted rage low cpm i bet
I am making it my mission to never use dstance ever
for mythic raiding what alliance race yall think is best? mechagnone seems clutch with the 15% hp, kultiran seems good for dmg over time. or is human just bis?
we died, so much on this key ๐ฆ it broke me
casts, low, i see that much, assuming 8cpm should be more like 15-20, ss rev
Shield block looked like 70% uptime and only 4 kicks.
Yo Prot experts chime in!
Imagine: you are flying into the first PAT of the dungeon in Nok, on 22 Fort. What is your opener prio?
Charge > Avatar > Shield Block > Clap > AND THEN???
Basically, what buttons do you press next between Ravager, Revenge, Thunder Roar, Demo Shout, Shield Slam, etc?!?
I feel like I do my opener wrong sometimes after the initial charge.
Iโll also say this. If youโre going to take Spell Block, use it. If youโre not going to use it, use the other side for more damage and threat
no more de other side plz blizzard ๐ฆ
Anyone knows if you can still valor point upgrade item once you catalysed them or you have to level them before using the tool ?
i will delete my account if i have to mythic + dos in DF (not really, but i hate that place so much ๐ฆ
You can still upgrade after Catalyzing
You are 100% sure about that?
So i dont waste charges ๐
dos give me ptsd
I am 98% sure because you just caused me to have doubt
@vale dust ravager, roar, demo, whetstone
I do it on my toons. So yes, I am now 99.7% sure
Did you press ignore pain a couple times in that mix?
Ya, with all that rage
Imagine it works for you, but not him. And Blizz wonโt tell you who is experiencing the bug ๐
An evil scenario to imagine ๐ณ
So after your demo + maelstrom, I'm assuming you go into Shield Slam > and rotate clap and revenge basically?
have to upgrade first
If you convert a M+ piece to tier you can ๐ฏ upgrade it
You guys are sending conflicting message
You can upgrade after catalyzed
100%
a wise man in here said: always generate rage > spend rage, cuz of Angermanagement, so yeah: Shield Slam > and rotate clap and revenge, spend rest into IP
I PROMISE. CONFIRMED. 100% you can upgrade with valor AFTER something is converted.
I double checked with my current tier pieces.
Cool thx ๐
You can upgrade gear after catalysing it.
whats the argument agianst thunderlords in mythic + why you drop it for battering ram
Thunderlord sucks
Battering Ram doesn't
Thunderlord will cause booming voice to desync from other CDs and you'll get less damage overall
That's the logic I've heard
BR is good everywhere
is burgeoning seed good for defensive trinket ? or still wheetstone is better to use instead of that ?
ah ok
I'd rather use burgeoning seed than dstance
....you'd rather hobble yourself for a whole dungeon rather than use a cd?
yes
Wait. Are you unironically saying
That using battle stance is the proper way?
Unironically now ๐
I am anti-dstance
its the proper way yeah
why would you choose to do 10 % less dmg?
when the 15 % DR isnt needed in 99 % of cases
Because its also 20% less dmg to me?
Yes, we're tanky enough, defensive is just like any other CD, use it if you need to
but this game really isnt that hard that you need the 15% DR all the tiem
wow damage comes in spikes
Shield block gives you like a permanent ~40% damage reduction on all melee attacks
AND a dps buff
Basically the tankbusters in some boss fights and if your healer is sussy when you do a larger pull
Wat
what do you mean wat
It lets you block attacks
which is like a 40ish % reduction right
its not
It's not???
Right but 40% isn't accurate it varies based on your sbv
And mastery, and brace for impact.
its a function of your shield
BORING
My point was just going to be that @split remnant will become a better tank if he just goes bstance and presses shield block more
Idk I feel like I am dying enough.
Cause I doubt he's maintaining 95% blocked hits
(By dying I mean taking dmg)
what key level you are doing
Taking damage is what tanks do 
My highest is 22 CoS
