Right, revisiting that, proper play means you shouldn't be taking noticable damage until high keys

split remnant
#

I dont know what logs are

uneven mason
vagrant oracle
uneven mason
#

But proper play you shouldn't feel squishy unless it's a tank buster

round pendant
#

Get the Loggerhead addon, get the warcraft logs uploader (and login to it). Play a dungeon. Upload the log

split remnant
#

Does it keep count of my logs even tho I didnt "set them up"?

round pendant
#

Nah you won't have anything that hasn't been logged

split remnant
#

And why am I doing it?

round pendant
#

It's not retroactive

uneven mason
#

You have to set advanced combat logging in options

round pendant
#

Well. In future you might have a question and if you have logged something we can help you more accurately

lofty widget
#

logs are the best way to improve

round pendant
#

Chances are someone else in your keys/raids has logged something, so check your character on warcraftlogs I guess

uneven mason
urban portal
#

you are doing it because its advanced statistics

#

we can see what you are doing right or wrong

#

Logs made me see how I wasn't blocking enough hits, was wasting rage, etc.

nimble scarab
#

anybody done/doing m diurna that’s on adds w/o tricks or md? I’m having threat issues and trying to figure out if we need to move our rogue from boss to adds for help with it

#

or if melee just need to give me a second to hit mobs when whetstone or challenging isn’t up

deep spruce
#

Those packs are the first proto drake with the 4 smallies

#

And then the two larger packs before you go from one side of the room to the other, to do the last set(s)

split remnant
urban portal
#

it shows how much rage he wasted (not a lot)

nimble scarab
#

we running 3 havoc with 1 ww and it’s tough rn if they weren’t getting meleed and dying to it it wouldn’t be a problem

urban portal
#

how many hits he let through block

uneven mason
#

Cpm is really low

split remnant
#

I cant read graphs. I am so fucking stupid.

daring marlin
#

You used SW 6 times in a 30ish min dungeon

#

SW is around a 1 min CD with proper play

split remnant
#

I am using Shield Wall just for them keks

#

I dont really need it ever

#

I press it when boss is low hp just so I secure it without dying.

daring marlin
#

You taking less damage more often=healer can do more damage

grim glen
#

“Im taking a lot of damage” “I don’t use Shield block much cuz I don’t need it” wut???

#

Shield wall*

lofty widget
#

youre also running thunderlords but youre using demo less than i am without

urban portal
#

thats a sheesh

lofty widget
#

wasted talent point in that case

daring marlin
#

Last Stand not a single time

#

kinda weird

split remnant
#

Taking lot of dmg just means I sometimes drop below 80% 😄

#

I forget last stand. Kinda think its useless ability.

#

Idk

urban portal
#

yeah last stand isnt too hot

split remnant
#

Its good for third boss of TJS

#

Thats about it (In my opinion)

daring marlin
#

tbh you're sitting on CDs a lot

lofty widget
#

it's a healthstone on a 3 min cd

daring marlin
#

in general

split remnant
#

Yeah because as we established I am using Dstance the WHOLE dungeon

#

So there is no need for anything else.

daring marlin
#

That's not an excuse

#

That's a terrible excuse actually

split remnant
#

Its not an excuse

modern forum
#

why wouldnt you use cd's ?

urban portal
#

so you could be doing 10-15% more damage if you rotate defensives properly

modern forum
#

i usually dont use mine when i save them for the next dungeon

split remnant
#

My mind is coded in a disgusting way

#

Where I think healer is suppose to heal

#

so keep me up slave

#

I played Dota too much

#

to think healer is just another member of a team

lofty widget
#

why are you in dstance then

split remnant
#

and not my personal salve

modern forum
#

i dont like relying on ppl for shit

lofty widget
#

if healer can just heal you up

split remnant
#

True

#

Fuck em

urban portal
#

theres not even that much healers in dota

split remnant
#

Dstance it is

#

Healer = support

#

bstance mb

urban portal
#

most supports are big CC huge early game damage blasters

#

the ones that arents isnt viable

split remnant
#

Yeah. But when I played carry they had to pull creeps, stack my jungle AND fight off enemies

#

while I just clicked creeps

#

I hit Divine 3 that way :3

#

But to be honest with no jokes. I think I am using CDs just enough. Its just that CoS is extremely easy and I dont see the reason to press stuff.

unreal marlin
#

wearing whetstone+ decoratrion 415 right now, is there any chance i use Hungering Pack 421 + Avoidance? other option would be upgrading 415 legs to 421. speakign für 23+ Keys

split remnant
#

Aside from second boss what can even deal dmg in that dungeon, nothing really.

urban portal
#

hungering pack is really good

I am sorry for being an awful human

#

i played a fun lil game that kinda made me use cds a lot more, just try to learn when cds will be usefull and keep the cooldown running in between shit myself moments

#

now if i dont use cds i feel yucky

sick sentinel
#

Did they change it so that the 2 mini bosses before Hryja scale with fortified instead of tyrannical?

uneven mason
#

I just have weakauras that get annoying when I'm in combat and sw etc are off CD

rough solar
#

When simming patchwerk, does that sim 50/50 you being the active tank or 100% you being the active tank? Thinking in regard to how accurate it is for Tough as Nails

urban portal
#

i think its 100%?

pastel sleet
#

I noticed some mdi prot running bolster. Can anyone explain the rationale?

lofty widget
#

probably for block uptime when running itf

azure willow
#

Were they also running ITF? If they took that for extra damage bolster would even out block uptime.

daring marlin
#

More than likely it's for shorter CD on last stand considering the giga pulls they're doing.

pastel sleet
#

That makes sense

dusky canopy
dusky canopy
#

Also to help you solve your un asked question

#

You run tough as nails all the time unless you specifically need spell block

rough solar
#

Yeah I'm already doing that. Just trying to eek out a few more dps for logs on irrelevant raid fight to have some fun.

dusky canopy
#

Cheers

rough solar
#

Was thinking perhaps blooborne could be more dps as I only have boss 50% of the time

weary saddle
#

there is a use for spellblock in every dungeon so nowadays i do not use Tough as Nails

dusky canopy
#

Ohhh you’re trying to parse

#

Yeah 2/2 blood borne is good damage

#

You can drop indomitable in farm content for an extra point

#

Also riskier but you can drop extra shield block duration also

#

Or shield wall cd

urban portal
#

but its not worth trying to do so

#

and bloodborne is pretty mid

rough solar
#

Thinking of dropping Indomitable and Impenetrable wall and put it into bloodborne

dusky canopy
#

Yup that’s what I do

#

For farm content

rough solar
#

Yep, nothing serious

urban portal
#

yeah if you wanna parse

#

maybe thats the way

#

but at that point maybe just play full execute

#

juggernaut massacre SD

dusky canopy
#

Mehhh I know some of the top logs do that but it feels ass to me

lusty tiger
#

jug>ss one?

urban portal
#

you said its farm content

#

if you are going PURE dps then yes jug better

dusky canopy
#

You right I did but still

lusty tiger
#

like r u even gonna execute enough to make jug worth tho?

dusky canopy
#

You are correct

#

I couldn’t get it to full stacks before boss dead lmao

#

Could be me just miss playing too

rough solar
#

I don't think I'm going to have enough time to execute

dusky canopy
#

Yeah I wouldn’t run the execute talents imo

urban portal
#

bloodborne is a REALLY weak point

#

just fyi

#

it seems ok

#

but then you math it out

#

eh

#

massacre is great on farm tho

dusky canopy
#

It is but you’re trading defensive talents you don’t need for some free damage

#

Better than 0

urban portal
#

fairly sure there are just better damage talents

What u think guys, should go for next items Versa/Haste , or it is already overkill for Versa?

question, in the recommended wowhead m+ build it states we should take "tough as nails" and not "spell block" i thought SB is better or more usefull for a lot of mobs, specially this week?

dusky canopy

Run spell block until you learn where you don’t need it

cosmic dagger
#

realy? i saw on raider io soo many Tanks with even more versa. its so bad for us?

lusty tiger

not so bad

just not so good

What's a good % of vers then if above 24% is too much?

Quick question - I wonder what my best trinket combo for M+ is atm. I got 411 Whetstone, 402 Rumbling Ruby and 402 Decoration of flame.

I’m using a macro with DS, Avatar and Boon

#

Ah, sorry

I’m stupid

#

I’ve read hoof

lusty tiger
#

well there u go

uneven ice
#

I’m using DS+Av+Hoof

#

As it don’t have a cast time, is not a bad thing with the booming voice line up, isn’t it?

#

Is bad to use avatar in trinkets that have cast time for the time lost on it, it’s what you mean?

toxic gyro
#

I use avatar as I charge in the pack, so demo would hit nothing

Also don’t wanna boon randomly.

Here I’m still confused

Or at the end of boss with trash pull ahead

In order to have 100% SB uptime, I charge, SS, SB an then DS

Is that a bad opener?

puzzle box + ava

toxic gyro

I charge in and clap so dps don’t get aggro

uneven ice
#

How a good opener should look like?

round pendant
#

Charge -> avatar -> shield block -> rotational shit

uneven ice
#

In packs, I change Ss with Tc

toxic gyro
#

If your first gcd in the pack is demo + avatar you risk your group getting insta aggro

round pendant
#

yeah don't demo first thing, you need to put some damage down

uneven ice
#

Then DS+Av

round pendant
#

Just do avatar -> shield block

#

that buffs your shield slam :)

uneven ice
#

Mmmm ok

#

Charge, Av, tc, sb?

toxic gyro
#

Avatar as you charge is more dmg on first clap

uneven ice
#

And then rotational

toxic gyro
#

First few gcds are most important for threat

uneven ice
#

I only have threat issues with evokers

toxic gyro
#

And my friends are monkeys, especially when i pull big

uneven ice
#

But I can improve the opener for more dmg, for sure

toxic gyro
#

Biggest concern was putting boon in macro with avatar

#

Never wanna do that

No, that doesn’t look good

bring a dk and tell him to spec grabby hands and then to use it on the each second cast of adds helps ALOT with that fight

reef holly
#

I’m guessing everyone should stay loosely stacked for germinate

lofty widget
#

everyone stacks on the tank then you move together around the boss

sick sentinel
#

otherwise, you have to get the first wave a bit together, doesn't matter too badly but on second one, you HAVE to have them packed up, and then you do your big taunt and aoe stuns, maybe fears if they are stunned and snared/slow too

forest tulip
#

yeah. fair. checked the interrupts and the other melee, a dh, only had a third of my interrupts

sick sentinel
#

then you do DR cooldowns shuffle and cleanse from healer, till those awoken adds die

#

the branch the big add when it dies, it puts out a ring, that heals him, but i've left him in it on a 15 i think and he healed for maybe 1-3% of his hp

#

so, you can almost ignore that part of that add

#

DK is still the best option on the boss, hands down, no questions

solemn current
#

Probably don’t forget you can always shocking disclosure one of the germinates for easy threat

reef holly
#

Cheers. I also had 3 mages in this group, so everyone was a bit spread out

And no reason to run around revenging. Avatar+TC should snap the adds right to you when you don’t have ravager.

Revenge is secondary to TC

# reef holly When they awake and are running around

Yea if you’ve got range sitting out in range it’s a them problem if mobs don’t get stacked, but if ravager, Avatar+TC, shocking disclosure, thunderous roar, shield charge, and AoE taunt aren’t enough rotating them out then you probably are either doing it too early or doing some incredibly wrong assuming they are stacked up a reasonable amount. You’ve got a lot at your disposal to rotate around with though so just use it wisely.

Ello Ello. So Im a bit confused on what gear I should keep equipped.
I currently have the Frostfire belt (405) and the Eranog and Broodkeeper rings equipped. 408 and 418)

Obviously Eranog's ring and Frostfire belt do not have haste. I have the raid belt, converted into Matching tier which gives it haste, sitting at 411ilvl, Obvious answer to keep that belt, but it breaks the combo of the rings and belt. So should i Keep the eranog ring equipped or use a 405 crafted ring with Haste on it? Overall a 600 haste loss if I keep the Frostfire/raid ring combo equipped

I do not have access to Condensed Infusions yet, so is the 6ilvl increase from the raid belt WITH haste out weigh the frostfire/raid ring combo? What is the best combo of items to compensate for it?

2084 haste/ 8074 Strength/22584 Stamina with Frostfire/raid ring combo

3885 Haste/ 8095 Strength/ 22681 Stamina with the Converted raid belt, Broodkeeper ring, and 405 Crafted ring with haste

Twin Moons and Swipe / Thrash being spammable is just super easy for gathering and clustering mobs.

Besides it’d be like 40% haste unbuffed before you even consider not grabbing more haste

I've simmed 5 targets 1,2, and 3 minutes and a 5 minute single target to try to straighten out trinkets but the results have just made it more confusing because I've got sims supporting each trinket. Could I get some opinions on 408 All totem vs 415 hoof to pair with 415 whetstone?

about how much mastery do i want to have these days. does it vary from AoE vs ST ?
sitting @ 413 item lvl. ik it sorta depends on playstyle. just curious peoples thoughts.

warm plinth
#

There are no stat requirements for any stat.

lusty tiger
prisma crane
#

only real arguments you could make for playstyle difference is giving more weight to vers over crit if you're pushing top top end, otherwise it's not important

lusty tiger

vers is irrelevant for top end

str is bis in top end

reading comprehension is never a strong point is it

i never made a comment about STR, the only "debate" is crit over vers, and in top end, they value vers

where most ppl gain more from crit

who is they

STR is still BiS, then haste

etc

Is it now we nag blizz to nerf pala?

feel free to look at gem and crafted gear choices of the top rio players

the only area where you have true agency over stat selection

#

they all go w/ haste and vers

jagged pier
#

well they are getting a buff

#

🤷

prisma crane
#

where most people outside of that bubble will probably still go with crit over vers

#

anyways, my point is that stats are hardly important because if you're in the group that needs them to be that specific you already dont need to ask that question

subtle sparrow
#

I see a mix of crit and vers on the top tanks

prisma crane
#

andy and taezir are both vers where they can get it

#

nerf is mostly vers, with a couple crit

#

bobas vers, palclap vers

lusty tiger
#

taezir also has 85% blocked hits on his highest logged rlp

and?

lusty tiger

that would make anyone feel like they need more vers

yea, totally

getting 7% damage reduction or not, wont save you if you make a mistake 🙂

and guess what happens if you go 1 key level higher

#

you take 10% more dmg

#

resulting into your vers buffer being entirely gone

timber terrace
#

things do more damage with shield wall up in a 27 than without shield wall in a 20 tho it's not the same game and while crit is nice it does nothing against a lot of damage

strong forum
#

my point remains true

strong forum
#

crit does VERY much against alot of damage

#

cuz the most dangerous pulls for tanks are large pulls

#

where melee dmg is 90% of all dmg taken

#

removing 30% outright from that, is very much a big deal

sure

prisma crane
#

i know you're not that bad at math though Nom, to argue it does nothing isnt accurate, and that vers reduction is 10% more reduction in a key that does 10% more dmg, you dont get to compare 0% vers in a 26 to 7% vers in a 27

im comparing 14% vers vs 0% vers

thats almost 3k stat investment

~2.8k

it still results in less dmg though in all areas we're weak, whereas crit absolutely does reduce our dmg taken a lot, its also primarily in areas we're already strong

sustained mitigated damage isn't what kill tanks ever especially at that level of play

and tank stats isnt what times keys at those levels
