sick sentinel
#

after that they decided to disband the key

spare loom
#

does anyone have the DPS build for prot?

lavish oracle
#

(In fairness, I also play the game a lot and I'm still bad at it)

sick sentinel
#

i think thats 95% of us

plush tendon
spare loom
#

had a prot in a key that was top dps using a weird build spamming TC

#

I need the build for spamming 2's

uncut thunder
#

All things being equal out first 418 craft should generally by Lariat? Other craft I have is shield but not sure that is a wise one as I can get it off first Mythic boss or Heroic Brood both which we are clearing. Thanks

spare loom
#

I need an all damage build

lavish oracle
plush tendon
#

that would be the same thing

#

except maybe swap HR for ITF

#

and drop shockwave for Droar CD reduction and Crit

spare loom
#

what's ITF?

plush tendon
#

into the fray

sick sentinel
#

more haste

lavish oracle
#

Choice node with Heavy Reprecussions

#

Left hand side

sick sentinel
#

both are correct options

spare loom
#

hmm

lavish oracle
#

I would probably cut spell block and Thunderlord's for bloodborne

#

(Though, actually I'd probably sim thunderlord's it might actually be more damage, not sure)

plush tendon
#

This is what I made for literally only caring about damage

#

would not recommend

#

for usual content

spare loom
#

can u give me the string please?

#

imma try it in a +2

Guys i have question i was 22 aa, and DH overaggroed me sometimes, i was doing 60k overall and on aoes 100k+ always is it ebcause im nto swapping targets and targeting same mob in pack?

plush tendon
#

punish is 10% more SS dam

#

and The Wall is 5 rage

#

10% damage>5 rage I think

potent harbor
#

i mean he was doing brutal dmg but still

#

shouldnt aggro me like after ten seconds dmging

plush tendon
#

DH does that

#

sometimes

spare loom
potent harbor
#

how is that so dh does that?

violet gorge
#

Basic question but, is there a cap on ignore pain ?

lavish oracle
#

Love when I'm doing first pull of AA and a DH let's eyebeam rip before all the mobs are grouped

tropic tangle
#

dh burst is kinda front loaded

lavish oracle
#

And they just get deleted

tropic tangle
#

esp if they have puzzle and all CDs up to start a pack

plush tendon
potent harbor
#

so should i swap targets in pack with dh to prevent it?

#

i got big hate 😄

spare loom
plush tendon
#

I mean, thats generally a good idea

lavish oracle
#

They should be more mindful of their burst, tbh

plush tendon
#

but realistically, its the DH fault

#

unless you were doing piss poor damage

lavish oracle
#

If you're doing good damage on all the mobs and they pull threat, that's on them

potent harbor
#

55-60k overall, 100-150k+ on pack

tropic tangle
#

you could mark prio and they could cleave off that

plush tendon
#

and if you have a log, we can see if you pressing your buttons right

potent harbor
#

i can send yes

#

wait how i send actually

tropic tangle
#

but so much of their opener is AoE

#

like the only thing that isn't is probably the initial hunt hit

plush tendon
#

but also, in AA, you should be closer to 80k; though it may be pull size dependent

potent harbor
#

i was chain pulling and was little bit scared

plush tendon
#

but 80k is reasonable for a normal route

potent harbor
#

can u send me route for this week? gues si did shit route

#

for aa

#

80k sounds lik eheaven i mean dpsers do 80k 😄

plush tendon
#

theres not really a route I can share; its more like, do you pull the whole tree area in one pull?

#

like, whats comfortable for you

potent harbor
#

no i do first three fleis solo and then

#

flies

lavish oracle
#

I mean, if you're doing 150k on a pack and they get womped, they have to be doing 600k burst, right?

#

Threat multi still 4x?

#

Or about there, anyways

potent harbor
#

he was doing like 500k burst and normally like 250K

#

maybe im pressing bad buttons in my burst and that not target swapping ye

tropic tangle
#

that big pull on fort is tough, because you need to have mit rolling and you are probably GCD starved from that when everyone is opening

#

so your dps need to be disciplined as you gather/secure

plush tendon
#

yea, if they start dpsing before things are grouped, they are activly griefing you

#

especially when you preparing a big pull like that

potent harbor
#

so they should wait like what 3 gcds?

tropic tangle
#

well, I mean, they should wait until shit is well grouped

plush tendon
#

but it all depends on what you doing

lavish oracle
#

They should just wait until a pack is grouped

sick sentinel
plush tendon
#

like, on AA I run to the center of the tree area, throw axe, get everything together and then slap

tropic tangle
#

the other part of that pull is the lashers have to spawn out the ground, and they're coming from all diff directions

plush tendon
potent harbor
#

on tree its biggest pain i want make big pull but when im chaining aroudn area someone is heavily single targeting somethign behind me, 5 mobs overaggro and then im single targeting and pulling them back and meanwhilke avoiding green aoe under me

tropic tangle
#

so your job is to try and make them converge at roughly the same time to one spot

plush tendon
potent harbor
#

always so annoying

#

ill go actually try pull it into aa m0 no joke

tropic tangle
#

if people start ripping into them before they're gathered, you're going to be wasting more GCDs pulling mobs back to you

potent harbor
#

i should train this

tropic tangle
#

instead of getting gathered, then throwing TC / Rev out to hold aggro

plush tendon
#

Try this; if you want everything wait a couple of seconds for the first set of birds to path out of the way

#

run to the center of the room

#

then heroic toss the three large packs and whatever bugs you want

#

they will accumulate in the center, then you can start blasting

potent harbor
#

okay and one mroe thing i have problem with, nokhud, first patrol, how u manage so they super together and thsoe two bitch rangeds are not separated?

plush tendon
#

if you leap into them rather then charge

potent harbor
#

im charging into main guy and taunt but its not working

plush tendon
#

they will group up

potent harbor
#

why is that so u charge they dont group but leap yes

plush tendon
#

but the mobs have bows, so they do not like to move

maiden lake
#

do you guys normally bring shield charge + champions bulward?

plush tendon
#

IDK why, its just the interaction

plush tendon
#

line up every Demo Shout with a big Shield Charge

sick sentinel
#

overflowing whatever overpowered

#

here you got, a bag with 15k raw gold..... sure.... i'll take that...

maiden lake
#

but im also not good at remembering to use it lol

potent harbor
#

jsut tried tzhat on m0 thats cool lol

#

i mena that aa tree

#

i feel like noob now running around

sick sentinel
#

blood bourne is a trap

#

because while you need the constant bleed on everyone, the bleed doesn't do as much damage as other things do in well played normal rotaion

#

the bleed exists and is vital because everytime it ticks, it has chance to increase our rage by 5

maiden lake
#

so would you say tough as nails > bloodbourne 1 here is the rest of my tree.

amber siren
#

if you're taking HR, you don't need bolster

#

nails is about a 3% dps increase, so worth the point

maiden lake
sick sentinel
#

i run this

amber siren
#

heavy repercussions

sick sentinel
#

bog standard

potent harbor
#

i run what runs yogi but usually using mass kick cause i dont beleive pug kicks

plush tendon
#

Yogi has a good looking build; though I run HR over ITF

potent harbor
#

oh and spell block

#

mostly at each dungeon

plush tendon
#

Spell Block only in RLP, ToJS, and AV

potent harbor
#

isnt it good for aa vexamus and half magic adds?

sick sentinel
#

this is the other minor variation i do

potent harbor
#

or nokhud before elemental magic adds

sick sentinel
#

i am a huge fan of bounding

plush tendon
#

I havnt run into the scenario in those dungeons where I was like 'damn, I really need Spellblock'

potent harbor
#

hmmm

maiden lake
#

im only running around m10s and im usually like #2 on dps and im only really dying to sleepy healers or dps's that love hitting me with quaking

fallow nova
#

Having eclipsed 50 runs of CoS last week, my first run today got me a whetstone

sick sentinel
#

the most sanest protection warrior

tropic tangle
sick sentinel
#

grats tho, thats dedication to gear

maiden lake
#

that seems to be the consensus

#

reading 20% dmg on all of your bleeds sounds hype

fallow nova
tropic tangle
#

bleeds are like 15% of your total damage in big pulls dungeons

#

so 2 pts for 3% ish damage

#

maybe a little more, forgot dragon roar dot

maiden lake
#

i love fighting the germinate dude, I become a certified PUMPER

#

so many ads to put bleeds on

sick sentinel
#

imo give arms blood borne if it doesnt have it

amber siren
#

it does

rough egret
#

can spark be as reward from WQ?

subtle sparrow
#

@fallow nova Do you need to set loot spec as dps for whetstone?

round pendant
#

yes

subtle sparrow
#

I'll give it a whirl farming it, I really miss having an on-use dps trinket

reef holly
#

Looks like my fully trained ST welp only does around 2.5-3% of my overall damage...

true thicket
#

do u guys still run barbaric training?

reef holly
#

In keys

round pendant
amber siren
#

and even worse in keys

lusty tiger
round pendant
#

2.5-3%

#

aka mid

lusty tiger
#

Well if he’s doing 100mil+ it’s alright

round pendant
#

no it's not

#

2.5-3% is 2.5-3%

lusty tiger
#

It’s a strength trinket

#

So yes that’s alright

deft mortar
#

GIGA

#

My trinkets give me roughlt 10% of my str

reef holly
round pendant
#

Yeah and grieftorch is a strength trinket too

lusty tiger
#

I’m not saying use it over grieftorch

round pendant
#

Even hoof is better prob

lusty tiger
#

It is

round pendant
#

I said "mid" not "trash"

amber siren
#

3% is mid

reef holly
#

My only other options are puzzle box and horn of valor

lusty tiger
#

Whetstone does 5-6% but has no strength

reef holly
#

and burgeoning seed keks

lusty tiger
#

Yes so you should be happy enough with whelp for now

plush tendon
#

Whelp is bis cause the dragon is a cutie

#

Otherwise.... screw that trinket

dusky canopy
lusty tiger
#

Yea 2mil is kinda low

#

% of overall assumes everyone plays perfectly and since I’ve never spoken to this player I cannot assume they are doing close to max damage

round pendant
#

On a +16 NO my whetstone did 6m damage

reef holly
lusty tiger
#

Crit for whetstone is pretty big too

#

ye mine did 7mil in a +20

round pendant
#

I did fat damage in a 16 RLP and somehow my whetstone did 10%

#

It seems to fluctuate hard

lusty tiger
#

well

#

how much is that

round pendant
#

was a pretty fast 16 tho, 19:37

#

oh I misread, 8%

#

4.25m

#

still, whetstone seems to be more like 6-8% and yes you can argue the higher % you get on whetstone then the less damage you did with other abilities

#

but I get good parses so 🤷‍♂️

delicate swan
#

@ionic fern Stinky

haughty thicket
#

So I've accumulated too many good trinkets and don't know what to use I have a 421 Blazebinder's hoof, a 418 whetstone, a 408 icon, a 402 rumbling ruby, and a 402 decoration of flame? I normally just run the double on use Blazebinder's and whetstone unless I'm raiding and several people are running Icon

tropic tangle
#

probably blaze/whet. maybe Icon if your group has a couple

merry pond
#

hoof and whetstone yah.

amber siren
#

if you're comfortable with 2 on uses, blaze/whet are good to use

tropic tangle
#

although I'm a big hater on running double on use

#

so probably wouldn't follow my own advice

sweet summit
round pendant
#

Never understood disliking double on-use

#

It's 2 extra fat dps buttons

#

what's not to like?

lusty tiger
delicate swan
round pendant
#

10 casts

merry pond
#

@round pendant you're not gonna have a full uptime with it is one thing.

tropic tangle
sweet summit
#

he remembers gladge

delicate swan
#

how can i forget such R

#

❤️

sweet summit
#

what the

round pendant
crystal mauve
#

If we run with Hoof, is it worth it to use our Shield charge/Roar/Ravager/Demo shout when we have more str stacks or the diff is not big enough?

merry pond
#

well yeah, and then you are out of combat, and it might overlap again, putting it on a cd again. Meaning not full uptime.

delicate swan
round pendant
#

I get max casts for dungeon time in like all my keys

amber siren
#

it's not about pace, it's just about timings

crystal mauve
#

When I sim Hoof vs Ruby it seems that Ruby is stronger, do we know if the sims are correct? I was told that Ruby sees the target at full HP and deal more damage in sims that it does in reality. Not sure how it works exactly tho

merry pond
#

well a lot of dungeons have things roleplays like ruby, hov and so forth, meaning it might be unavoidable. Thus it's a valid point. and even by just a few seconds each time it results in something.

amber siren
merry pond
#

@round pendant in like all my keys, basically proves my point.

round pendant
#

How does my wording prove your point

crystal mauve
#

Good to know, thanks!

urban portal
#

hoof has the same problem

merry pond
#

Well cause it's not in all keys. Cause based of the time left, you might lose one usage.... IDK how we're arguing about this.

amber siren
#

true, forgot to say that

urban portal
#

at least rumbling ruby gives attack power

#

hoof strength is an active and you can lose it

#

rumbling ruby's attack power lasts like 5 minutes

round pendant
urban portal
#

i would just run ruby

fallow nova
#

I've been on Arms loot ever since I got a decent shield

lusty tiger
crystal mauve
#

@fallow nova - Loving your avatar 😄

fallow nova
#

Thanks!

#

It's an Axe-lotl

urban portal
#

of course it does

#

but thats a sim question

lusty tiger
urban portal
#

my point is that both are probably oversimming

crystal mauve
urban portal
#

but ruby gives attack power

#

not an active

#

so its kinda BIS

lusty tiger
#

i c

merry pond
#

@round pendant I can tell you for sure that you have lost a trinket usage because one is putting the other on cd. This is a fact, if not, you have played less than 5 keys, and been lucky.

urban portal
#

^

#

you are always going to be losing casts

merry pond
#

Thank you. Doesn't mean that it's not gonna be worth it, but it's just going to make it worse than it would be.

toxic pewter
#

Yah the clunkiness of 2 on use not only feels bad, it’s actually difficult to anticipate just how many casts might be affected

urban portal
#

exactly how many casts are you losing, depends on the dungeon

#

but saying that you'll lose 0 casts is just false

round pendant
#

Maybe in fucking halls of valor when going from fenryr to whatshisface muh aegis

merry pond
#

bro, in every single one...
If you're trinket gets up at the same time as the dungeon is finished, you lost one cast.

tropic tangle
#

never mind if you have staggered cds for the on use

subtle sparrow
#

You could alternate, most of the time you are going to have Avatar + Demo without other CDs on half the packs, pop the other trinket there

amber siren
#

it's not about alternating, one trinket locks out the other

toxic pewter
#

The timings just end up sucking ass though

amber siren
#

passive trinkets don't work that way

sick sentinel
#

passive trinkets are you set it and forget it and hopefully it lines up

round pendant
#

You lose the initial time but if you're not going at a snails pace or holding the second trinket, I doubt you'll end up losing a full cast

#

ofc it depends on the dungeon

sick sentinel
#

like with your avatar or something not another passive trinket

merry pond
#

@round pendant As stated previously.... Even if you lose only the 20 seconds, that might mean a full usage...

amber siren
#

every time you lock a trinket, you've lost a potential cast

#

that's the whole point

sick sentinel
#

but its good to know that one passive trinket puts another passive trinket on cd

subtle sparrow
#

Active

amber siren
#

passive trinkets don't lock @sick sentinel

round pendant
#

So I might potentially lose a cast on the tail end of a boss if it dies too quickly for my trinket to come off cooldown

#

Can't say I see that as a reason for not running 2 actives

amber siren
#

no one said it's bad to run 2 actives, it's just a consideration that you are losing uptime

lusty tiger
#

2 active is still bis excluding raid drops

ionic fern
#

Huh?

#

Which ones?

#

Amuse me.

lusty tiger
#

whetstone and hoof

delicate swan
urban portal
#

its kind of true that most m+ trinkets suck

lusty tiger
#

wtf is going on

merry pond
urban portal
#

the only good m+ passives are ruby whelp and hunger

delicate swan
#

Mythic plus has like no good trinkets , just the whetstone i guess

cinder nova
#

Whetstone cranks

round pendant
#

The "losing uptime" is only relevant if there's a situation in which the 1 passive + 1 active beats out 2 actives in overall damage

cinder nova
#

Dragon Games actually does a lot of damage if it wasn't so fucking buggy.

merry pond
cinder nova
#

I've never had an issue sending trinkets.

round pendant
#

I'm saying, not picking 2 actives because of that potential micro-optimisation (which you don't even know is true) is.. silly?

lusty tiger

how would tattman not know its true

Stoneform the bleed and prevoker the next

Losing a cast isn't a good enough reason to not run two actives on its own is my only point

Any packs hit especially hard compared to the rest?

the first one

u get a stacking armour reduction

solar sandal

Thanks dudes 🙏

crystal mauve
#

Wouldn't if be great is the same way Zandalari trolls can pick their racials you could also do this without having to be the race? That would be the summum of optimization (with the same weekly timer or something).

Ok

and its not up for long if u do it properly anyway

grave prairie
#

can someone share me the AV route with the jumps?

merry pond
grave prairie
#

DM me the string if possible

merry pond
#

@round pendant Losing one cast could be as much as a 10% value off of the trinket.... That is quite a fucking bit.

#

Another valid point is that you would usually use the first one to line up with cds, meaning the second one will probably not line up with anything.

urban portal
#

Matters especially for whetstone as well

#

Since it doesn’t give main stat

#

A lot of the power budget is in the cast itself

merry pond
#

Now I'm not sure about what everything alters whetstones dmg output. However that's both an up and down I guess in some cases. You don't gain more dmg output in normal abilities from whetstone, however it still does a massive amount of dmg without anything else altering it's output.

lusty tiger
urban portal
#

right thats my point

#

the only reason whetstone sims well is because we assume you are losing 0 casts

#

but whetstone losing a cast hurts much more than say, big toe losing a cast

crystal mauve
subtle sparrow
#

They need to add a party shade for cross faction

lusty tiger
#

you lose minimum 1/6 cast... best possible case scenario

tropic tangle
subtle sparrow
#

For summon stone, there are a million of the other faction at every stone

tropic tangle
#

but that's not % damage boost, it's an increase to crit

urban portal
#

99% of class abiliites do not interact with trinkets

#

unless its programmed badly

tropic tangle
#

initiative boosts crit

urban portal
#

so does combust

merry pond
urban portal
#

demo should 100% does not

#

stances im not sure

#

vers 100% yes

lusty tiger
#

not demo

tropic tangle
#

it affects Grieftorch as well (initiative that is)

Never looked into it lol

deft mortar
#

But doing phatt dps is nicer

sand mason
#

Use d stance as a defense cd. Not as a blanket “keep it on”

deft mortar
#

usually in cleave situations my dps wil sustain me so

#

i dont sit dstance

#

maybe towards raging pop

atomic nest
#

Ok thank you guys

deft mortar
#

I got hit by a >1M dark claw this week dxdxdxdxd

#

Does the bottled essence (spark of ingenuity) quest come every two weeks?

deft mortar
#

didnt realize reflect was on cd

#

0 brain

I mained guardian all dragonflight so it’s hard to give up tanktness haha

I’m not used to it

The biggest dps upgrade for me was a weakaura that tracks violent outburst

tropic tangle
deft mortar
#

yo I got a 700k shield slam vs odyn xd

tropic tangle
#

after that it's random drop from content

deft mortar
#

in the phase obv

#

with puzzlebox

lusty tiger
#

Should I use lol

deft mortar
#

me too

subtle sparrow
#

@modest grove 5 from quest, then really low drop rate from basically everything. Bosses, m+ dungeon quests, world quests, dungeon bosses, raid bosses, dirt piles, magic chests

deft mortar
#

my first vault drop xd

#

was it

#

I was sad ngl

#

but got used to it

lusty tiger
#

Rip

deft mortar
#

its giga fun before a big cleave

#

or u expect big dps

lusty tiger
#

I prefer font of power

deft mortar
#

Like u pop off 300-400k dps vs packs of 5 if u have all CDs

#

for like 10-15 secs

#

than fals off obv

#

its fun to get a reaction out of ppl with it

deft mortar
#

65-75k single target during 20 sec with it too with bl etc

subtle sparrow
#

I can't get used to Court of Stars. Finding good places to use CDs is hard there for me

#

I am doing pugs at low keys so still being second on dps, but the dps is not good

lusty tiger
tropic tangle
#

send it

deft mortar
#

just make sure you spell reflect Shadow Sash

#

the succubus npc casts it

#

or die

#

xd

subtle sparrow
#

And every single run, someone pulls the two guys by the gate near the first pylon

#

Takes like 2 minutes to kill them

Good thing this week

Chaining is bis

14k ms trinket

And being a prot war is phenomenal

tulip kelp
#

We timed a 22 last night with like 130% count or something… tank was full brain dead. We did docks and no skip lol

sick sentinel
#

with 287 haste and 144 crit, would be amazing at 415 + ilvl

lusty tiger
#

I did one where the tank took us to the last boss cos missing 15%

subtle sparrow
#

You cleared docks, but didn't skip?

burnt current
#

heyho im starting a warrior twink tank now, is there any gear i should get crafted first ? or should i just look at wowhead which embell and so on ?

I was dps but yeah

lusty tiger
#

U said you’re a “twink” tank

sick sentinel
#

apparently that trinket i linked is F tier, you are hard capped to 5000 MS

burnt current
tropic tangle
lusty tiger
#

That’s what I’m wondering

tropic tangle
#

using that would more be referring to like a low level pvp twink

lusty tiger
#

How r u gonna craft gear with embellishments under max lvl

tropic tangle
#

if you could do that, yeah, you could twink a char out

burnt current
#

is smurf tank the right terminology ?

lusty tiger
#

No

tropic tangle
#

nah man

lusty tiger
#

Alt

tropic tangle
#

you're just making an alt

#

his gear is going to be reliant on what he does

burnt current
#

ahhhh thats it, so u knew what i mean by "twink" ?

tropic tangle
#

not your main

lusty tiger
#

Also pins

burnt current
#

if im asking what gear i should get crafted first i dont think its so hard to answer that correctly as Bjoolz did that was the false terminology but in my language we say to alt twink

tulip kelp
#

Lol stop crying it was a joke dude

dusky canopy
#

id craft cloak boots gloves

#

you both knew what each other meant, there's no point arguing over it

Make sure you make two boots one for each foot

It means more than you think

I mean it was a harmless joke and the dude got hella triggered lol

they're not triggered, obviously english isn't their first language and they weren't aware

They're pretty triggered.

Is there a minimum m+ required for you to get gear you can upgrade with valor?

lusty tiger

I think all cc was down

cinder storm

Oof

#

Something that I like there is having dps focus down caster first and once a caster is down I tell them to burst down the caster next pack

#

Ifs fun seeing a line of adds doing whirlwind conga

lusty tiger
#

Hahaha

#

Ye we did a slightly different route too because my sham was scared of the axes

#

But I stopped every severing slash so I might try axes next time idk

#

And by every I think I missed 1

And parried another

cinder storm
#

Ruby is pretty free this week, I think I could time a 24

sick sentinel
#

do you guys reccomend to make bracers and put brez in them (engineer)

cinder storm
#

If given the chance

lusty tiger
#

Tank channeling brez is slightly sus no?

sick sentinel
#

how long is the channel

lusty tiger
#

Does it take an embellishment?

sick sentinel
#

last ones i knew were 4s

#

no

cinder storm
sick sentinel
#

you can put an 100% doesn't fail on it when you craft it i thought i read

dire matrix

so

You have to be engineer for that

maybe big bubble on you? i dunno. timewalking?

lusty tiger
jagged pier
#

u took all these melees at the same time, logs shows the instant so u took all of those at the same time which bought your hp low

dire matrix
#

ah

jagged pier
#

then at .6s u had the amount of hp shown when u took the 40k hit

dire matrix
#

its not incrimental

#

that makes sense

rain light
#

now just need a ton of valor

dire matrix
#

just makes it look weird

Maybe you sidestepped weird and they hit you from behind?

Hey, I am new here and have a question about gearing;

What is my best option between crafting a shield of the hearth or trying to snipe RLP Drake rider / AV Bulwark ? Should I just wait for vault? I play m+ only and my current shield is 332. Really need to upgrade. I did not craft anything apart from frostfire belt so far. Open to other suggestions as well.

dire matrix
#

i just got syncd autod

lusty tiger
tropic tangle
#

craft primal molten defender

dire matrix
#

and im bad at reading details

tropic tangle
#

if you have enough primal chaos, just send it

cinder storm
#

Maybe, haven't really checked damage intake there, my HP never really moves

jagged pier
#

which is why u use logs not details

dire matrix
#

well i was surpised

tropic tangle
#

332 is insanely low

dire matrix
#

i just dont have wclogs uploader rn

#

was checking quickly

#

i do record the log

My highest is +9 timed

lusty tiger
tropic tangle
#

just keep doing keys and then craft primal molten defender

gaunt cairn
#

So what do I do with that shield slot? Primal molten defender > Hearth?

lusty tiger
#

Yeah

tropic tangle
#

hearth is bad

gaunt cairn
#

All right I'll do that, Thank you

tropic tangle
#

going forward, make your shield the priority upgrade via crafting

#

unless you get a high ilvl from vault eventually

gaunt cairn
#

I wasn't sure if I should have waited for one dropping from AV or RLP or the vault. I.e. if the craft was worth it, but then I read on ict veins shield was the most important thing

hot take: (idk if this is even a hot take anymore) AA is the easiest DF M+ dungeon now and I actually enjoy running it

also, does anyone have the stance swap macro? the ones I have found dont seem to work

not recommended

They serve 100% different purposes, so those absolutely not

There's almost nothing you can macro together as Prot, unfortunately

Not a ton of improvement, but I snipe a lot of resets that way. Shield slam resets a lot

Maybe rallying cry

But those situations are quite rare

If you're kiting, your group didn't kill the mobs fast enough okayge

I've done nothing with it

What did you guys do with your 9th spark?

my plan's to use it with my 5th spark to make a 2H for DPS. I don't think that's happening.

I'll prob use my sparks on arms weapon

how much haste should I have?

what's the goal?

Rares are easily best way to get them

spare loom

what's that in percentage

onyx vessel
spare loom
#

right now I have 31% haste

#

28% crit

#

9% vers

#

and 19% mastery

#

is it too much haste?

#

hm

#

alright

forest tulip
#

i only have 17% haste 😦

spare loom
#

was just wondering if I should lower the haste in exchange for some vers

#

but I guess I shouldn't

#

gotcha thank you

#

so I should lower the crit

#

to gain more vers

#

sims say i need more haste

amber siren
#

When you’re saying sim says more haste, you’re talking about gear and not stat priorities right?

mighty valley
#

Am I reading this right that it's a 0.2% diff? I dunno that I'd lose sleep over it haha

lusty tiger
#

Really it doesn’t want the COS chest?

#

I guess when you’re already at 40% haste before weapon oil

#

Maybe

#

In fact weapon oil gives your the amount of haste from cos chest

stoic rover
#

How do you get this view in simc?

lusty tiger

guys, it is no longer possible to get the hiden aperance of the warrior legion artifact? have been trying to get it for days with 3 warriors all created during bfa all of them above lvl 50, already read the stone tablet with the artifact equiped on prot spec and i have find nothing so far

tropic tangle
#

still possible

#

just random and frustrating

#

I did it back in SL

amber siren
# spare loom yes gear

Ok good, if your sims are still picking haste gear then that's what you should go for. There's no need to drop one stat for another, focus ilvl and whatever is simming highest. All secondary stats are good.

spare loom
#

alright thank youu

clear canyon
#

@tropic tangle do you know if i have to read the stone tablet every day?

tropic tangle
#

no

#

you just have to keep showing up until you get it

clear canyon
#

damn, hope i had more warriors

lusty tiger
#

Pretty ez gains

#

meanwhile Im overhere turning all my pieces with the Catalyst cause TMOG

#

stats on items be damned, I gotta look good

bronze lake
#

Bloodmallet is showing the idol trinket from NO as simming pretty high. What's y'all's thoughts on it? Picked it up and was thinking of valoring it up

tropic tangle
#

don't use bloodmallet

rough egret
#

Idol is good

plush tendon
#

Idol is decent

tropic tangle
#

yeah I mean, you could sim yourself and find results on raidbots

rough egret
#

If you dont have access to raid trinkets idol is good choice

plush tendon
#

if you just mythic plus, that with Whetstone actually a decent combo

modern brook
#

War set sucks bawls

plush tendon
#

But I want to look like a geodude

bronze lake
#

I guess a better question would be until I can get into heroic raids and shoot for some of the big boy trinkets which mythic+ trinket would you advise pairing with whetstone?

plush tendon
#

Idol

modern brook
#

Geodude more like b.o. dude, that set stinks

urban portal
#

premium bloodmallet is so good

#

im not fking gear comparing every trinket in the game

plush tendon
#

blazebinders hoof also good

rough egret
#

Idol is lazy decent option

forest tulip
#

so we didnt time the +17 but at least we completed it

rough egret
#

Just passive horsie runs from your body time to time

bronze lake
#

That's pretty badass

rough egret
#

Im using both Idol and Whetstone, but I dont raid

#

It can proc nice

plush tendon
#

Yea, I think thats the goat M+ only combo

#

at least, from my experience

#

too bad im a spoiled Totem+Icon user

rough egret
#

Would you play icon if your party doesnt have icons?

plush tendon
#

No

#

but they usually do

#

if not, I take out the whetstone

#

now If I had a boon though....

solemn current
#

Boon bis m+ trinket

plush tendon
#

my DK just got the mythic one, and its so much fun

#

Does big dam, can confirm

rough egret
#

Today I puged 2/8 M, kinda hoping for ring

plush tendon
#

ring is gains

#

though, I would prefer it not to exist

#

cause it forces me to use frostfire belt

rough egret
#

Well i dont have belt and no spark

plush tendon
#

and the stats on it are poop

#

but the proc is strong AF

rough egret
#

Crit good

plush tendon
#

its like super low crit though

#

and like 950 vers

rough egret
#

I mean the belt

plush tendon
#

oh, belt has big crit, but I would prefer the allied bracers

#

haste crit and 1% vers

rough egret
#

I will eventuelly make tinker wrists

#

But that is another spark

plush tendon
#

yea, im using the tinker wrists

#

with bres

#

which is lame

#

wish the flamethrower wasnt so bad

rough egret
#

If i get ring.. i would have to drop crafted ring with food buff..

#

Which is another spark wasted

plush tendon
#

I dont think the food embellishment you are referring to costs an embellishment

#

you have the one that saves food buff on death yea?

rough egret
#

Yes, i know its on top of 2 embelishments

plush tendon
#

oh ok

rough egret
#

But i kinda like to have it

plush tendon
#

oh I get it

#

got meladrus ring and then fireball ring

humble vine
#

Are there any known nerfs coming to prot warrior soon do we know?

plush tendon
#

no

#

Yeah I have melandrus as 2nd

actually better question, how?

#

You need to play around its use a bit

plush tendon
#

still super strong

#

nothing wrong being a grieftorch gamer

rough egret
#

Cus you cant block,dodge,parry while channelling

plush tendon
#

at least you can move

#

me and my boon stuck in one spot for 10 seconds

#

but totally worth

#

I want to pull the whole tree area in AA and boon.... but im scared that the green stuff casts faster then every 10 seconds

lusty tiger
#

I think even a few ticks would be worth lol

#

Or does it not work like that?

plush tendon
#

cant cancel

#

gotta commit

#

for 10 seconds

#

its 100% less versatile then whetstone, but its so much fun if you get it right

#

less so if you die

craggy pilot
#

can anyone explain me the fucking frontals from HOV... i keep getting hit on my DPS alt even though im behind the mobs

tropic tangle
#

the box is bigger than you think, and if your tank is moving them around sometimes they like to turn away from tank before moving back to him

#

because their pathing is great

rain light
#

whetstone is nuts holy

craggy pilot
#

i heard a lot of people say you can outrange them as tank though

#

🤔

tropic tangle
#

you can move out for them yeh, but I guess what I meant was wider

craggy pilot
#

i was standing behind the mob

rain light
#

getting these last few 20s pugged is killing my sanity

craggy pilot
#

and got hit

#

for 90% my hp

#

dunno man, I don't get hit zooming around on my DH, you gotta play real careful with the hitboxes there

ill never understand getting so angry over a game that you have to whisper to someone and talk shit

#

my man, if a game is upsetting you that badly, go outside

vagrant oracle
#

I shall reserve judgement until I know the situation

Sometimes the COD brain kicks in 😂

Though I think the most I’ve ever really done is said something to the effect of “there are great guides on YouTube to learn the mechanics”

jagged pier
#

oh i love it

forest tulip
#

Which, honestly, isnt even bad. But shit like "youre shit/ass/an animal" etc which while those are very mild compared to what else Ive seen it's just like, is it gonna matter to you in 5 mins? why waste the time and energy? lol

well okay

when i was asking about the wrists earlier, for crafted, its because, thats one of my embellishment slots

and because, that seems to be the best option for tinkers

Darius main? Probably deserved the whisper tbh

there is a collide one but its on e 30 minute cd shared by potions

snagged the eranog ring on my warr alt, I want to craft the frostfire belt now?

lusty tiger
dusty mica
#

currently weap, lariat and ring. Its a fresh 70 and got the AV shield from a +10 which is haste/vers so figured id save a spark there

#

thanks

#

gotta make some concessions on my alts i think, won't realistically be farming 50 +16s on em

#

not sure what to do with my last spark though tbh

#

i guess just whatever slot is kinda crappy since i have lariat and im crafting the belt. Bracers and legs seemed kinda strong otherwise

lusty tiger
#

legs you want as tier

solemn current
dusty mica
#

ok so maybe just wait until i can craft the shield at 405/418 and stick with the AV one for now

#

since its the same ilvl

#

and use valor elsewhere

solemn current
#

Probably yea unless you’re in desperate need for a non shield item

dusty mica
#

really just legs atm but you cant catalyst crafted gear so

#

ive been spamming bonus valor +2/3/4 since i hit 70 and i'm basically in full low epics + crafted 392s

#

sitting on like 4500 valor

#

prob start tanking keys for real soon and use valor on nice drops

solemn current
#

Yea just gotta farm those pants out from one of the dungeons that drops a pair unfortunately. Just had do the same on my shaman. Took almost 2 weeks to get the chest lol

dusty mica
#

ofc pants are the best tier piece too lol

#

has anyone got the route map for Brrodkeeper HC?
