could be cool, but i really want the other race instead though ๐ฆ
Warriors, has anyone yet experienced mythic raid pugging?
I honestly don't mind evoker
other than the twink boi physique/face shape they have in dragon form
I've pugged mythic raid yes
but as far as transmog is concerned the visage form is good enough for me
not paying crazy attention to my xmog in combat 
When you can pug 18+ mythic, pugging heroic raid itโs like โฆuseless for the vault
i should try pugging the first 2 mythic raid bosses
I didn't even complete the HC raid
havent even stepped into the raid this season
pugging raid has been so easy
I got AOTC like 2-3 weeks in.. its crazy there's guilds still progging h rasz lol
Pugs better than guild
early pugs are sometimes just mythic raider alts lol
First two mythic are easy just make sure everyone is 2/8 and geared.
2/8 heroic?
No 2/8 mythic. If you've never done it join one of the prog groups or just make your own.
its happening guys, i took off spell block and now also using resonance cascade inting shout back on bars
i dunno exactly why it is, but is
what the heck is resonance cascade
a horrible ficitional disaster
he doesn't know why it is, but is ๐ค
science experiment gone horribly wrong
to the point it summons aliens who cause war with humans, that lasts for 7 hours before earth surrenders
it's like what deathwing did with the catacylsm, it's on that level of threat
yogi are you okay bud
guys i see everyone swapped to hr instead of itf for mythic plus even having 35 percent or more haste,i dont understand can someone please elaborate?
these talents i mena
Who is everyone? And you should've been using HR in keys to begin with.
i took them into a 14 tjs, i fucked up one of the jss's i had SR ready didnt use it
And you need 35% haste BEFORE talents, not with ItF/Wild Strikes
but, the healer was very impressed with our group, even from start talking about how we did mechanic and interupt
Which is not easy to get
i got the 35 percent,but still,by everyone i mean people that i checked over raider io
just get this, its called, true stat values
no more need to argue about what the "cap is"
So the cap is 22% haste?
Kek
Not reachable
not cap, sorry, threshold
before it applies new rules
gate
That's not true either
whatever word you want to use
How are you determining that
Theoretically you would stop focusing haste (after ilevel) at the 40% mark, which is basically unreachable with current gear.
40% from rating, not after talents.
no, there is no cap on stats or, there is, but you cant reach it
nobody outside of devs will ever reach maximum allowable stat in 1 stat
because you go through i dunno how many "gates" "thresholds" "barriers" it is, but its at least 2-3
thats the picture and words/numbers i was thinking about
but i didnt want to specify for sure, incase i sounded retarded again, spewing information, wrong values or break points or amount of break points, what its called etc
We don't care about the 10% penalty. It's not significant and haste is that good that we're not bothered by it.
We stop at the 40% mark (6970 is 40%, which is the 7k Nome is talking about)
according to this addon
170 for 1% i think
That's how much haste you need for 1% before diminishing returns
That's just how many points you need to get 1%
170 haste in this case
full 1.00%, rounded
Yes
Ye
But mastery points are different per spec,
Mastery has a hidden System
In some cases 180 mastery may be 1%, in others it might not
so, 170 might be word 1.03% haste
Well, yeah that's true. Wild Strikes, Enduring Alacrity, ItF would all impact it
i don't take enduring alcarity, i'm doing FV
You shouldn't
But it would affect haste is what we're saying
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/how-mastery-works-world-of-warcraft mastery system explanation if anyone cares (ignore the ratings at the top; those are SL values)
It's 6783 for 39% and 6987 for 40%
It doesn't devalue haste. It makes it require more haste per point.
well crap, i just read what wild strikes does
So from 30-39, it requires 187 (170 x 1.1) haste per %
and now i know why i want more crit
Both come to the same outcome
You require 170 more haste from 30% to 40%
Than from 20% to 30%
340 more haste from 40% to 50%
Which is why it's okay to go to 40%
Cuz it's not meaningful enough
10% DR isn't strong enough to care
Going into 20% DR terrotitory however isn't
(not like that's possible anyway)
If I forego all cantrip items
Then you could get close
But since tierset, embellishments and eragon ring are a thing
No such luck
the 40% isn't a number you need to worry about this season. Next season is a different story.
lets stop as second and wtf is a cantrip, a free cast?
Cantrip = special effect item
Cantrip refers to items with special effects
i am a shooter nerd not a a rpg nerd
trinkets, proc weapons, proc rings, etc.
i like shooty bang guns and rockets and plasma rifles and snipers and nukes
I like being up close and personal
Same. I always play seismic slam barb in D3 
I do like the whirlwind build too, but something about that slam is just awesome to me
bowazon is in hell now
closest i can get to a gun
I should get back into D3 ๐ค I think the last season is coming up? Or started already maybe
I believe so, yes
137 base dmg
Is that Diablo 2 or something?
yeah, i play it whenver servers go down or i don't have sub
D4 is amazing
I wasn't going to because it's so expensive, but a friend bought it for me 
don't make diablo a pussy or a pushover is my message
he might as well be the devil
see what happens lol
i might just get whatever the latest 6 month sub thing on wow is, go from there
guys hoof or big toe ?
Hey any tips where and when what stance should I use?
Default to battle stance, use dstance like a cooldown for big tank hits
Like, you can swap into it for the Hyrja blast, then swap back to battle stance after
That sounds good, but isn't the offensive stance outperformed by healer being able to damage more instead of me being in defensive stance?
*offensive
No
Alright thanks I will use battle stance much more onwards
do you guys try to pair D Roar with Shield Charge if possible
like if they are 6 secs away
demo shout? yeah, those two should sync up naturally
Ok I have some questions about Ruby Whelp Shell (Trinket) for M+.
https://www.wowhead.com/news/how-to-train-your-ruby-whelp-shell-very-high-damage-or-stat-trinket-330947
^This writeup for the trinket states that they trained it on ST with Fire Shot and it performed really well. They also tested the stat buff and said it had a 16% uptime in keys.
But what about the Lobbing Fire Nova? Does anyone have any insight into how that does in keys when fully trained up? Or what do yall train your whelps for in keys?
throw both on CD don't normally hold them
โค๏ธ ok thank you!
dps dies to 2nd boss in AV during the orbs phase, proceeds to flame me for being a bad tank. 
Imagine haha
Hi guys, did anyone here craft the eng bracers with bress tinker? (well, probably someone did)
dunno why, but logs it shows i had 83% uptime of shield block, and then i look in details for that dungeon and it says 89% sb
Logs is including downtime between pulls and shit
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/R3Jzhc8TbqFXBd4Y/#fight=last&type=auras&source=1 this is a 14 tjs i did today anyways, details claims 89% sb, logs says 83%, gunna go look at results again, i ran it without spell block because i was making the cookie cutter build, and its fort 14 key, even with that tank buster 3rd boss, only did 3/4 my hp when i fumbled not reflect it
A lot of unblocked hits.
I would wipe it then go again and literally align boss to azure slice that individual and then just laugh

if you guys want to keep seieing yogi logs, let me know
Im a bear main playing a bit of prot in keys (only like 2700 or so atm), was wondering what the deal with the opener on an AoE pull is with all my CDs up?
ATM I'm going Charge (Avatar while charging) > Thunder Clap > Shield Charge > Ravager > Thunderous Roar > Demo Shout then going into Revenge / Thunderclap spam until Avatar runs out (and obvs keeping up SB and IP when needed) - does this sound about right?
My issue atm is I def feel way more tanky than my bear despite being 10 ilvls lower (410 vs 420) but I do a decent chunk less damage overall so Im trying to fix that :/
I pref to do charge -> ss >shieldblock > tc
I usually toss ravager before charge, avatar during charge, TC, sb, demo shout, TR, SC
gotcha
just find a nice opening for urself that u find most comfly
Ill have a play with it ๐ I just want to do big dam so I can park my bear in M+ for the season lol
Do demo shout before tr and sc youโll do more dam
if u have trouble on opener think about changing ti
kk, I was under the impression so long as it lasted the remaining duration of Ravager and TR it was fine - little mistakes haha
I was toying with the idea of warrior then I did back to back 22 AVs on PWar and Bear and it is actually dumb how much better PWar felt and I have no fucking idea what I was doing lol
then i go again for another AV. the party lead, a DH, triggers the 2nd whelp sentry and causes a wipe then makes a snide remark towards me and leaves
like i know im not the best tank but man, these dps
๐ค
Nothing wrong with doing buttons before your opener
A lot of people hear opener and think it means "literally the first buttons you do" but if you're gathering a pull it doesn't make sense to do it until you're "set up"
Just a quick TC and Revenge or w/e before blasting makes sense
I think this is what I need to do - I do have threat issues as my DH is used to me being on bear and just goes fucking mental on the damage and rips threat
(Not implying that Bear has better AoE threat than War, Im just better at Bear and more comfortable)
I think opening with TC and Revenge etc, then doing the "opener" will help
depending on how spread out the pull is
ayy M Diurna down

We fell crazy behind this tier due to deaths/healer roster instability
Is there a weakaura for Kurog transition?
were 178 on primal council for US but lost like 200 places across terros/sennarth/kurog
boss dam
Playing the guessing game on 96/97 is kind of tilting 
So, I'm never going to set foot into Mythic, and even tanking heroic is... questionable for me, but I am gunning for 2.5k M+ rating, and I've been trying to figure out which gear to go for something vaguely BiS.
some NO cpm vibes
Neither of those trinkets are that great for M+ (unless everyone in your group is also running icon)
Fair enough, Why gloves over chest?
Because neither have haste, and you'd rather the lower stat budget piece not have haste instead of the higher stat budget piece
Make's sense! Thanks!
Trinkets should be whetstone and all-totem
Thanks! Was just about to ask
Is grieftorch preferable to icon in m+? I'm on over 50 CoS runs and whetstone is a myth.
Grieftorch is...troublesome? Like in lower keys it's fine but in high keys that 2 seconds of no blocking can be really bad.
Yeah, you can generally use it on bosses without much concern because you're probably getting meleed once or something while it's casting
I'm assuming Crafted chestpiece, then?
But on trash you could be taking a bunch of unblocked melees
I've got deco at a lower ilvl
Yeah, or inferno breastplate from CoS or riverbed chestguard from TJS
noawh did cos 20 with this
just need a shield
Grieftorch is fine you just want to blow a CD before doing it
in high keys
Demo Shout or Shield Wall are probably enough
cos has 0 tank damage.
also a good group can do amazing things
I'd say Grieftorch is preferable only because it has mainstat
and mainstat is kind of king
Whetstone does really good in spite of its mastery
That's fair. I rarely need wall so popping it with torch seems easy enough
mastery isn't bad for us.
It isn't bad
The alternative would be icon at 3ilvl lower
so why say * in spite *
Or dragon games equipment, which I'm kinda sick of lol
but secondary stat trinkets are always fighting an uphill battle against mainstat ones
I like my Hoof
hoof was one of those trinkets that I was like "Damn this is great"
and then I used it a bunch and was really disappointed
Currently just running Whetstone until I get a good mythic Grieftorch
I've largely given up on ever finding whetstone unless I luck out on a vault. Multiple days dedicated to literally just hunting down CoS groups to run through and I've never seen it drop lol
I keep looting them like candy lmao
Pwar had to work to get his
my Brew has looted 3 in the last 2 weeks in my 0-hero speed gear key spam
My hpal healer got a 421 whetstone in vault 
Go figure
bear got H grieftorch and M Eranog ring his first week
so he don't give af bout whetstone lmao
That's when you shockwave first
or use it on casts during bosses where they're not meleeing
Never had an issue with it tbh
2:07 off a +21 AA
Tragedy
our rsham did 28k dps overall lol
That's almost as much as a mage I had the other day
Why didn't someone kick it ๐
I was 13 seconds off a 22 because some hunter died every boss and had hp pot and walls every time:(
Better luck next time
Yeah 20 secs off a 22 jade temple last night. Our DH spent like 4 mins trying to jump over the wall before 3rd boss before giving up and running back lol
tree boss without a dispel was interesting
i timed my first +20 then we decided to just run the +21
man was enrage affix always +50%? wasnt it +30% in legion?
the damage boost when everything gets low oof
Rshaman dps is insane
If you have a group that stuns / slows it's super easy
No, it was 100% in Legion, then got nerfed to 75% in 9.1, then to 50% in 9.1.5
i see, doesnt make me feel like doing jade temple lmao
Dwarf first; cooldowns/externals for second.
am a troll
Reroll dwarf, dwarf first; cooldowns/externals for second.
๐
I* survived fine
if someone is guaranteeing a craft with inspo can i buy cheaper mats
Ah, just giving hard time ๐
hehe XD
got an alchemical flavor pocket from my soup bag, what a day
big time
You selling it or using it?
Prolly sell, 68k gold is gonna feel better than food buffs for me lol
do warcraftlogs takes account of other member's dps if you die and release for eg?
yes warcraftlogs is over the whole time youre in the key
if you wanna see the "details" active time, hover over your damage done
Are you NA or EU?
hmm then why do details stop counting when you are far away from the group?
mine doesnt
Because combat logging has a range.
How do you setup the weakaura's for ignore pain and shieldblock?
but wowlogs dont have a range?
ohh it is different data from details?
No, it's the same data. It's just processed and WCL will include the downtime that Details doesn't. Details records in segments of activity (be it yours or your group's). WCL records the time in between the segments as well.
ahh so something like details stop logging at a certain range, bt other people's dps is actually still logged even when i am far away?
is this happening frequently
If you're seeing it happen a lot then there might be something wrong. Combat logging has a range but it's really really big. You shouldn't be seeing it stop while people are still fighting unless you're like really far
ohhh no i am js wondering, if there will be 2 different report if two person who died at different times, died and released far away from the group
No, generally if you just died and released, you should still be close enough that Details/logs will record.
because my friend said logs are not accurate if you die multiple times
if people are still fighting
as some instances of dps are not recorded
That's not a thing to my knowledge.
I'm not sure why dying would affect a log. Deaths are a combat log event as well.
hmmm alright, thanks for the input!
It's since been fixed, but, yeah, at some point in the past, some instances of dps were not recorded
ohh ok!
Anyone tips for dathea mythic? We only have 1 DK and i switch to platform without DK. I skilled AOE Silence with mass taunt, but i cant hit everything with it and some will just stand around.
"Hello dear DPS players, i know you don't know this but you have an ability called "Interrupt" on your bars. Please be a dear and interrupt the far add".
Someone is stunning if they're standing still
Jump up, go to one side, aoe silence, immediately run to other side
They will gather
My DPS always knock the adds to africa
Make sure you don't charge a small add as that will always root it
Yea tell them to stop
There's no need for anyone to bump them at all with a warrior tank
You can gather them alone, and they can kick the opposite side if they wanna be useful
Yesterday was horrible on this Boss, the only good thing was we cleared to Dathea (with Kurogg) in 1 1/2 hour 
bold of you to assume a DPS player puts all their abilities on to their bars
@ionic fern hi ily
Good morning. ๐
Do you know what the greatest part of Skyhold is
I feel
depleted a ruby 23, we were on good pace, went fire dragon and thunder dragon decided to land on us twice on the other side


I know it's not the vengeance DH discord but I assume it's similar to prot warrior for upgrades, should I upgrade my lariat to 418 or craft a second 418 weapon?
Weapon
The reasoning is more stats, correct?
More stats, more dps etc yes
Fair, ty 
Hello. Im quite new to prot warrior playstyle and all the in and outs of how certain mechanics should be handled in m+. How is the 3rd boss in temple handled as prot? Thank you in advance for the help!
I'd go with weapon
Hello. You can check the first pin.
Rotate your CDs, check pins for details
TLDR; plan your cooldowns and hope your healer knows they have to heal you.
Get a better healer 
is spell reflect + IP actually enough for high key strikes on TJS tyr?
Like imagine you've run out of everything else cause your dps sucks
No.
Unless your healer has HUUUUUGE heals.
You save pot for emergency and rock if there's a lock, you can ask AG or nature's vigil or embrace at some point
The fight really starts at 70% but pugs will burst on pull
I've eaten it basically raw cause I zoned out at +18 tyr and survived
used a healthstone and IV and healer pumped
Scariest boss in the game imo
Well, maybe 2nd RLP boss is scarier simply because everyone else has to do the right thing while I'm also bleeding to death
Jeah, but 18 is...free.
Not in my pugs 

I tried a 21 TJS last week. Went okay but we couldn't do last boss 
๐ฆ
I hate it when that happens
It's like, I spend the whole dungeon anxious about the 3rd boss
3rd boss is smooth af and then we brick on the final one
Yeah my tank is a bdk so 3rd boss is nothing
What was the issue on last boss?
It usually goes well for me but I usually play with my friend who's a priest healer so the dispels make it kinda ez
How do you gamers handle holding aggro on the adds for Broodkeeper that spawn first? Got an Evoker bursting 600-650k and a DH bursting 300-350k
I mean that'd be great if my DPS didn't go ham on the left set of adds when the 2nd set spawn a few seconds after
๐
TR, outburst TC, revenge spam, havnt gotten there yet, but that would be my guess
If thatโs the case, prob best to make it apparent to them they need to hold CDs for both sets
Rather then sending them early
Also, nothing wrong about calling for tricks/MD
speaking of, how do we feel about solo tanking mythic brood? Doable, or not?
We're not running a MM hunter ๐ฆ
Already asked the BM hunter to MD but he's on boss entire time
It should be doableโฆ idk, swapped to DK for it cause itโs ez node
And we run double prot

we run prot/veng atm
yeah, apparently I am tho, so itll be fun lol

I enjoy the challenge tho, so far the only boss thats hurt has been kurog so
although I also havnt done barely any kurog prog
like 8 pulls
Just have to get used to Kurog
The hard damage intakes are in the earth phase
Have pot/healthstone ready when you got the absorb
And donโt be stingy with SW
Any advice for add tanking Mythic Durnia adds, with only 1 evoker? The bleed is wrecking me.
yeah, itll be a fun prog, dathea is over so that boring ass boss is behind us
-Externals
-Proper talents
-Dstance
That's about it.
@ionic fern What talents would you run for the fight? Is BSV ever worth considering?
I was running:
Show me what you're running.
Though prog on dathea was funny- getting 50% wipes when we suddenly get a 7% wipe and then next pull was the kill
Seems about correct.
I would just swap Endurance Training for Uproar.
Just be sure to have SW up for when you get the bleeds.
Dump into IP.
Ya I typically do but was trying to get tankier
Ya will prog again tomorrow. WE are cauterizing the first time we get both stacks
Idk how your DPS is but if you're running from the 2nd add set (the drake one) to the 3rd one , nuke down the low HP drake.
I did it with 1 dispell yesterday and it wasn't as bad.
ANd i'm running way more scuffed talents than you are.
๐
Fair enough, will make sure to set up my externals. Thanks
lol yeah we had 3 or 4 wipes at 35% then a few 60+% wipes, then killed it
It was also funny cause when we got the first 7% wipe, we fucked up the 4th add group and said โscrew it, focus boss!โ
I'm usually SW'ing the intial big pull.
Then SW the drake pull.
Puging eranog M and council should not be extremly hard right? ๐
Will just be hard to get in as I dont raid
you overestimate pugs
this is so sad. i have the currency needed for the revivial catalyst but i dont have a piece of gear I can change that will give me the 4th set piece
I have been there, apollo
I just grind on AA that drop plate legs and chest on low key just to get the tier 4 set
what embelishments are you guys using? im already using lariat
armor spikes, since I will never get a raid ring (I don't raid)
why not?
why not what
They're easy but pug life is miserable regardless, even more so on mythic with the shitty mythic raid lockout system :)
your only finding it boring cause your dps suck tho
Yeah raid is boring, plus I work nights so when would I do it
and u keep extending for no reason
In the context of being unable to get raid rings, you can just pug it

I'm never getting into a pug ๐
raid leading pugs is kinda fun


I love telling people what to do
and then kicking them when they don't listen
I get some sick satisfaction after like going through 90 people doing that and then getting the cleanest kill of my life on HC raz
What ever floats your boat, but that's like a nightmare for me.
yep
It's fun when it works out and you do eventually get the kill
It's unfun when you spend 3 hours and still don't get the kill
I like Raidleading but i will never raid lead pugs
Like..progress raiding?

Progging is fun when everyone is learning
but when you invite 8/8 people to HC and still can't get the kill it's soul crushing
i mean 8/8 means nothing
boosts cost nothing nowadays
cause everyone is boosting still
Yeah I'm not really sure how prevalent people paying for boosts is tho
very
u probably are tbh
theres literally aotc boosts happening like every 10 mins from 1 group on my server
and thats 1 group
im sure theres more out there
That's so depressing
I had such a bad experience trying to kill hc raz again just to actually get a good parse this time
that I just full on ragequit hc forever
I'm never going back
I'd join a guild but I ain't down for designated raid times
Thats the thing o dont want to spent 3h to kill 2 bosses
Ill just be okay without raid gear
Currently i have armor spikes on shield, ill eventuelly change it to ffbelt id i get 421 shield from vault
And
If i get spark ๐
Chances are equall ๐
Im curious how will they do sparks in S2
And if they change something with crafted gear aswell
Or we gonna recraft lariats till end of DF
likely just new recipes + embellishments and same 1x spark per 2week timegate.
Hoping that next tier set will be atleast nice as this one, i like this one a lot ๐ its my favourite one after ToS
Rio has not updated in two days? The addon i mean
Hmm two days and it hasnt given me a update in curseforge
Idk im using their client
Armor spikes cant be simmed right, is it that why FFbelt is showing best upgrade right?
yes the first one is better
awesome
any sneaky tips for tanking adds on broodkeeper (mythic)? I was just getting slapped up last night (I am aware of a lot of glaring issues to fix) just wondered if anyone has some tips
3 things;
int shout is an interesting choice
pretty sure someone is going to yell at you about barbaric training
make sure to take spell block for certain dungeons
@spare loom
been runnin with int shout this week and I really like it
no, disrupting shout I meant
oh yeah I think an evoker is meant to be flying over and giving it to me, I was getting absolutely ragged when I had to run across the room with a bleed
thats garbage
disrutping shout is a worse int shout
as u loose
more for taking it
well u should be cleansing the double stack not the 1 stack
yea I do, but i pug keys where interrupting is a myth
we full recleared for the first time last night, and both our tanks quit after raz, so I am a temporary fury rerolled to prot and we have a new blood dk who hasnt done brood
up to brood was pretty okay but now I feel like I actually have to play the class right...
ye im taking spell block in TJS and SBG
am i wrong if i say that the tank should help out with the shards on last boss in AV?
I didn't notice the double stack so maybe I was getting cleansed, I just need to pop something or go dstance more then
no healers just need to focus u
ok, ill always try to go for one close by
and u shouldnt need to run across the room get a hunter to MD u
on that set your talking about
aight
we're just 1 day a week reclearing for now, so we'll see how next week goes
ty
idk my best ss cpm so far was like 11.5
All our hunters are on boss.


Does it make sense to craft Unstable Frostfire Belt without ring from eranog/diurna?
yes
ok
@ionic fern nooooo I have become what I hate
is spell block good for mythic brood on boss?
It was a 26 ilevel upgrade over my other trinket 
u can use it
i didnt feel the need
but like what purpose does it serve
its blocked the inital hit of the tank mechanic
oh ok thx
Piercing shard can be spellblocked ?
yes
๐
so are ours to be fair
2 bm hunters and a rogue on boss
our dh might come back for the "hard bosses" so I might be free
I dread to think how badly it would've gone if we got back to the dragon and I had to tank ๐
Any particular build that people think are best for pure defense.
yer the best build imo in the pins
Where ?
ok I just pugged Eranog and Council M
ez ๐
did 80k dps there, im glad is over
Alt tabing to tankkotes ๐
Do we have a enchant for shield? Or no?
No
So I have to live with the "Missing" on my shield slot?
sooo is the weapon any good? does anyone know
i simmed it and it said ill lose 500 dps in keys ish. But asked some streamers and they say its bis
it'll basically be bis in the slot
was wondering what you guys would take. boots has leech
just dont get why sim says i lose damagei guess haha but yeah think ill take it
how are you simming it for dungeons?
5 targets for like 1 min. then i take all buffs off. thats kinda it i think
top gear
yeah that's cool, just wanted to make sure it wasn't dungeon slice
nahhh
but asked lepan he said it was bis too
i guess it cant simm it right?
doesnt make sense i lose damage i think
well i dont how your simming or haste much be low for droppin ghaste on wep make that big
but strike twice is bis
its a free embleishent
you have enchant on the voult weapon in the sim ?
yes
ahh yes
would not pass on it - may not show up again this saison ๐
stike twice is 1000 dps for me
i forgot i had embel on weapon XD ahahhaha
potion buff
so i removed potion
now its 1200 dps
more
hahaha
braindead me
because its the best build
ya but why hr?
I thought ITF was better, all prot warriors was playing itf some weeks ago
yes then they realised that u dont have neough shield block with it
and it doesnt increase your damage by that much
and u dont have perma 5 stacks
and its kinda crap on bosses
ahh nice, its easier to play
and HR is easier as well yes
ty ty
so i was watching prot wars stream and idk how they do it but they got ss rdy on ech rotation ss-> rev->tc + ip i can only do that with bl
getting ss procs has almost nothing to do with bl so thats weird
SS=shield slam?
it does increase aa speed but still
or what do you mean by SS
im assuming shield slam
rng
is not rng
yo bro, I was thinking about a talent change and wanted a good players opinion, would it be worth to trade indomitable for instigate or bloodborne? I feel like indomitable doesnt do that much healing, and it definitely wouldnt be the diff between life and death, but maybe im wrong
u are wrong to put it bluntly
indom is basically what keeps your health from moving
and keeps u alive
u dont drop it
I just often seen indomitable at the same overall hps as diurna ring on keys, with ip and leech being much higher
but maybe that doesnt tell the full story
i mean leech is strong and we get 15% leech for free which u dont usually have well never used to have, but you will feel not having indom
ty, wont be dropping it
I guess especially this week is not a good week to try it x)
How much heal/dmg does https://www.wowhead.com/item=193689/granyths-enduring-scale on 421 over a hole m+ run? Any experiences? Currently im running https://www.wowhead.com/item=193762/blazebinders-hoof and https://www.wowhead.com/item=193679/idol-of-trampling-hooves both at 415 iLvl.
dont use granyth scale
its a garbage trinket
Its like my 3rd/4th most healing usually
Just 20s
would you recommend using whelpshell 415 with 6*haste proc instead of mine equipped?
nah your trinkets are solid
or is it only hyped for no reason
granyth scale does irrelevant amount of mitigation
it procs once per minute for an 80k absorb
big fucking whoop
I dont have any other trinket lol
Whelpshell procs 3112 haste, but its so inconsistent its insane
yes
we recommend training it for the ST dmg proc instead
its still inconsistent, but you cant get a proc at a bad time
i guess i just dont use it
trample hooves gives the same result as ruby shell
S2 df m+ dungeon trinkets are bad too, have to see the other 4 dungeons they put in
both are 1rppm on a 90k+ dmg proc
hooves does good damn ngl
the fire tentacle thing from neltharus is pretty good
but thats about it
cant get that on high ilvl
the brackenhide tank trinket is broken OP
hes talking about s2 df
so, you will get those
oh, missed the post
if they dont nerf tree trinket itll be a must have
at least a good trinket without raiding
which one exactly?
tree mouths splinter
amazon never gets shipping right i swear.....
its a 200k 50% absorb on 1.5min CD
or shipping is the biggest fuck up trying to order crap online
woot
which effectively doubles/quadruples the absorb of the trinket
lemme see
some are using https://www.wowhead.com/item=137486/windscar-whetstone but im not a big fan of a mastery trinket
This blue trinket of item level 50 goes in the "Trinket" slot. It is looted from Advisor Melandrus. In the Trinkets category. Added in World of Warcraft: Legion.
dmg is nuts though
oh that one that damages you, then gives you a shield
next season
it looks bigger than it is, but yes its one of the strongest offensive trinkets
also, mastery isnt bad
you want a bit of it so you actually have a chance on critblocking
im at 20,43% unbuffed without that trinket
i also have H all totem
kinda low ilvl
which one?
so i guess all totem+ spiteful storm
super solid combo
raidtrinket 
i got both from the weekly
didnt even finish lfr ๐
and heroic trinkets are magnitudes better than m+ trinkets
i really should be pugging the 2 M bosses, but im swapping toons after im done all 20s
or more so, leveling everything else
is pugging hc bulletproof at this point?
pugging is never bulletproof
here
last run i did
was this one single mob or what
thats one trash mob^^
huge leech
for comparison
granyth scale wouldve done ~3million in that key
so just as much as pain and gain
which is laughably low
from a quich sbg 20 yesterday
sounds like you should do a bit more dmg eh?
12,9% leech, yeah my dmg sucks ๐
ye i got same leech
or i dont drop ๐
if you didnt drop, indom wouldnt do more than leech

leech triggers more often
Only thing I could think is if they kited mobs you beat down. That would favor indom spam over leech damage, right? I might be thinking about that incorrectly.
But you can spend what you have. That's why I'm saying they may have spent more and had less damage.
thats a giga stretch
Or running bt to eat more rage for more indom but I would hope not.
Is it possible to have Lariat, Unstable Frostfire belt and ring Melandrus at the same time? Or Melandrus doesn't count as embellished?
Melandrus is not embellished
ok
you can also/ should have also alchemistic food bag or whatever its called.
Alchemical flavour pocket
hey friends i just need some quick advice, for mythic eranog , when is the taunt window for the other tank? are we supposed to go by stacks or when the add spawns? there doesnt to be clear way to do it
whenever you want
first time progging it, we did like 8ish stacks
now its kind of a free for all
but also swapping off add tends to be a good marker
and then taunting back after stacks fall off
ok so lets say im 2nd tank , when the first tank gets add, then i taunt boss, then the 1st tank taunts back when i get the add? or when stacks drop off?
When stacks drop.
when stacks drop
is generally the best tell tale sign
cause you dont want to reset them by taunting too early
Do you use a co-tank debuff weakaura?
If not, I would recommend getting one so you can track your co-tanks debuffs
I know, this one I have already. Wasn't sure about this Melandrus ring only
If it isn't crafted it won't be an embellishment. Examples are the ring being discussed, and strike twice.
its also marked at the piece if its an embellishement
Only re-taunt when your stacks drop off, if you taunt before then and you have like more than 2 stacks, you die.
lfr unironically harder than heroic
๐
If I had to priorities boots or wep for 418 recraft, which would be best? Both are currently 405
weapon is a better upgrade
shield > weapon > lariat > frost belt > rest
TY.
why lariat is so hyped while its similar in power to other embelishments?
In a +20 HoV, what is a reasonable overall dps?
depends on the pulls i guess
is 50k aight?
yeh, tried it, interrupts were not where they should be :p
so we didnt do too many doublepulls tbh
yea, its very doable to pull big in HoV
but requires people to press their non-damage buttons
yeh thats my issue, my trust in pugs
do we do the triple pull at the start of HoV this week ๐ค
How do you guys lust RLP on fort weeks? I've seen lusting first pull but then there isn't another good lineup
The embellishment is decent and a neck with ideal stats at a high I level is hard to replace
prob firedragon
Anyone of you got a nice route for HoV? I personally like dratnos on that one but im too afraid for the bears
I have someone sap/trap/cc the first Thundercaller and then pull all the rest, pull that CC'd Thunercaller in as soon as the first is dead
I skip the fire dragon
First pull, whenever it comes up (usually on a destroyer. You could double pull a destroyer and a pather pack if group is confident) and then last boss
dont do fire dragon; skip that bro
if seen streamers that do firedragon instead of thunder
i personally do skip him too
i've*
IDK if things have changed, but fire dragon was always the worst of the two
though thunderfucker is also pretty nasty
both CoS and Dathea's necks gives better haste and can have better ilvl, and embelishemnt is quite similar in strength to others
maybe the single dot hurts too much at some point
I mean, you have to get a Mythic Dathea neck or a vaulted neck to get it at the I level you want
but before that, Lariat does the job pretty well
Cause everyone can use it
like people didn't noticed nerf at begining of DF or something XD
I mean, it's equivalent to other embellishments, and it's universally good
if you offspec, it's nice too
because JC's
it had the highest sim originally
and people were like 'oh boy! Neck. EZ piece'
though I still use mine, so Ive gotten really good milage out of it
same
yeah and then it got nerfed but it was still "top" for majority of players, and jc's it was just
just not sure what you'd replace it with?
no, I know that
but i mean, if you don't have a 421 neck with ideal stats
what other embellishment? like the other option is wrists/frostfire, and you can use two anyway
yea, its hard to replace other then those scenarios
im currently using frostfire/wrists, had very bad luck with wrists drops at begining and quite lucky with good stats neck, so It was better craft for me back then
yeah, that's fair
i should get 2 ruby trinkets for my morshu character and give him engineer and JC
trade rubies and bo mbs
Free extra stats + item that's like one step from max ilvl items.
Yeah, it's tanked in price, and if you know a JC then it's stupid cheap to make.
well, there werent many crafters at start and recipe was costly on some servers
I remember on my server one guy was announcing that he will be crafting lariats when season starts
then he didnt have recipe for over 2 weeks 
gigachads of wow are running around with 5 million gold per character and they just drop 500k on someone to make the lariat week one
I could've gotten mine for like 6K total in mats, but I tipped the guy 10K since he wasn't pushy and pretty chill about all of it.
as a guild we ended up buying our guild JC the recipe with a loan
he repaid that loan in like a week
its like, yeah, people over pay for that stuff, but whatever lol
thats a good move
All in all, unless Lariat pricing hasn't dropped on your server, it's probably worth the expense.
Very cheap to make.
honestly, the first good use of guild funds we've had
otherwise we spend them all on consumables and repairs XD
no country for old men is a stupid movie, i watched it last night, i was left very not filled with a warm fuzzy sense of watching movie and bad guy dies
Anyone of you got a nice route for HoV? I personally like dratnos on that one but im too afraid for the bears
pull bears
dont be scared
get aggro on them, pop all your CDs
halls of valor is ROUGH this week
once CDs up, kite
and the charge?
asmongold tried to do a 20 hov and they got destroyed on and before the second boss
theres a little bit of skill to the kiting
you want to stay close enough to not get charged, but far away enough to get rid of stacks
and reduce melee hits
I have a great one for pugs up to 17's: https://keystone.guru/route/halls-of-valor/oCNBpVl/halls-of-valor-temporary-route/edit/3
yeah that was my general idea but didnt know if it worked
slows, roots, stuns, fears as you run around
i think he killed someone to mortal hew is what it was and someone died to the boss like beam
Let me know if that shows up
@reef holly i finished a 20
in time
but might go try kiting it in lower key
just to get the grip of it
and then i didnt catch why they died on boss, but i think he got hit by 2-3 balls in row and was too much on healer
once you learn bears, HoV will feel a lot better
so, tldr what im getting at is, it looks like higher than 19 hov's are a not good time
That's not what the movie is about, though.
the more stuff you can skip in the hallway, the better
It's literally a movie about bad people doing bad things to other bad people.
cause that stuff sucks
i sort of understand what the movie was about
You should micro kite them, their bleed is very short range
And you have the speed buff for them
You can just dodge every one
There's a bunch of casts like that in there, actually
chigurh, he's like, testing people and cleansing the ones he feels is bad or something, i dunno
Both shieldmaiden casts and power attack from the champions are dodgeable
just, there is a clear bad guy, killing ppl, clearly evil and demented, and there is a cop, and there is 2 million dollars, but neither of them, or wife is explicitly shown dying
and its like, well, that was un-eventful
No 'Coen brothers' fan I see ๐
the dumbest movie i ever saw was about a telepathic car tire that uses its telephathic powers to roll down the road, find people voilently shake in some kind of arcane explosion, and then they guy dies, repeat, it's called rubber
Rubber
any key at 20+ is not a good time if you dont do mechanics properly ๐
Afternoon/morning all. I'm having some trouble tanking the boss on broodkeeper diurna. Seem to run out of cooldowns for mortal claws + 3 egg DoT, which inevitably leads to me dying. Would welcome some advice from folks who tank Boss during p1
That movie is great
he died to solstien due to what i can only assume is enraged lightning, and then eats 2 balls on boss
sounds like failing mechanics to me
gotta soothe those dangerous mobs, esp on fort week
he had a druid in this group, but they didnt dispell it for some reason, solstien was at 15%hp when they wiped, so that would for sure be enraged going off powering up lightning
Proof that just because you play a game a lot doesn't mean you're good at it
