#

421 puzzle is great for big blocks too?

fresh igloo

great for not being able to block while you cast it too

I like speed for dealing with mechanics.

fresh igloo
royal rune
#

yeah true

#

how much increased speed is +300 tho?

#

it's also good for raiding and avoid stuff

rustic trench
#

is there a cap to leech? Im sitting at 20% so far

sand mason
#

I have both 421 tier pants and those exact gloves. Do I take Granyth and replace either 415 whetstone or Hoof?

Or do what I really think I should do and take the socket?

no brez no standee, no lust, cloth so bad Armor Class, doesn't healthstones or have a proper invis i think they have some kind of dispersion crap? wtf even is that

why have grievous on tyrannical when theyve already made the expac hard af for healers 😦

Is all-totem 408 worth taking for m+? Currently using hoof and scale

fresh igloo
#

if you only have access to heroic raid trinkets, the upgradeable options at 415 are likely to be better.

#

So, I just got a Grieftorch. Best usage is when... right after the other tank taunts?

jagged pier
#

on cd

#

whenever

twilit peak
#

Best on pull and then use it on cd

jagged pier
#

doesnt matter if your tanking or not

hi

cinder storm
#

Hi

graceful cobalt
#

what is better scale 408 hoof 415 together (def) or Hoof and Box or hunger of the (Halls of valor trinket strenght crit and movement speed)

north orchid
#

so can you still block/parry while its channeling?

jagged pier
#

no

#

but you arent going to die channeling it if u prepare

north orchid
#

i gotcha

worldly dove
#

just dont use it when you are holding the shield up on ragnarok

distant crystal
#

lol

worldly dove
#

very embarrassing

distant crystal
#

we had a guildy pick it up on a disc priest

#

everything was fine until he pressed penance

worldly dove
#

oof

#

so you can do anything that isnt channelled?

sick sentinel
#

channel spell is cool rp and mechnaic, but some people, like me, just don't get it

worldly dove
#

I love grieftorch

jagged pier
#

u cant do anything in greif

cinder storm
jagged pier
#

u press a button u cancel it

sick sentinel
#

under 1 second cast 1 second cast is fine

#

anything past GCD im probably fucked

distant crystal
#

it's not obvious that using grief after you put shield up would take it down tho

#

but it does

how's M+ this week? hard on heals

Just play the affix

Bursting / Grievous now?

ebon viper
#

hey guys question about about tertiaries, what would u guys say is the breakpoint to replace gear with leech/avoidance? Do i still follow the ilevel is king over 418 shoulders vs 415 with avoidance for example?

amber siren
#

yes

dense coral
#

418 > 415 418+ (tertiaries) > 418 simple 🙂

ebon viper
#

roger that

distant crystal
#

i feel like most of the tank killer stuff isn't going to get reduced by avoidance eh?

ebon viper
#

thnx peeps

#

yeah was curious / wanted to make sure

worthy abyss
#

Ugh, 415 horn of valor simming worse than my 382 Icon and All-totem. does it really suck that bad? Am I stuck with LFR trinkets for another week?

fiery pendant
#

Would you guys open vault in prot lootspec if you don’t have a 421 shield?

#

I’ve been fishing for a whetstone for ages and been mega unlucky but I figure if I go prot I could at least be hunting more than 1 item (strike twice + shield)

amber siren
#

If prot is your main spec I'd gamble for the 421 shield

distant crystal
stoic rover
#

How do I not get baited by the trinket sims

uneven mason
stoic rover
#

wants me to use 411 puzzle box + 398 grieftorch over other choices in ST and Aoe

have 411 hoof, toe, whetstone, 408 icon

amber siren
#

icon relies on 2 other roles for the buff for it to be any good

#

hoof would lose to whetsone, toe isn't even a contender

stoic rover
#

grieftorch same situation as puzzlebox?

hybrid gust
#

415 decoration of flame+leech or 415 whetstone?

mighty valley
#

whetstone

stark furnace
#

What do you guys sim for m+, as a rogue main we sim dungeon slice but wasn’t sure if slice works well for prot, i know it doesn’t for a lot of other classes

amber siren
#

yeah can't block/dodge during the cast so you'll need to time it, but it's high enough damage where if you play around it, it's worth it

mighty valley
#

single target, 5 targets 1 minute, 5 targets 5 minutes, and kind of infer between the three

amber siren
#

just something you need to put a bit of thought into

stoic rover
#

Thanks Rybie! I’ll toy around with them and maybe use arms as a decider since I sometimes play that

amber siren
woven trellis
#

any opinion?

thin glade
#

Someone's going to tell you to sim it

#

I personally like Bonemaw to use with avatar on pull for bigger burst threat

woven trellis
#

i think bonemaw is theorically better but u cant mistime the hunger

hybrid gust
#

I have 415 helm with socket and 418 weapon. should i take 421 helm(no socket) or 421 weapon

woven trellis
#

so maybe in the real world hnger is better

stoic rover

#

Avatar is like 45~ seconds with AM? It won't line up again after the initial cast

yo guys does backpedaling actually make you take less damage cause you outrange mobs a bit or not?

#

hey!
I got this on my vault, but I only killed first 2 on myth

#

how?

lavish oracle
#

As far as I know, tier is not locked to bosses you've killed

amber siren
lavish oracle

All non-tier is locked to bosses you've killed

cyan lichen

so... i was incredible lucky?

lavish oracle
#

Ye

amber siren
jagged pier
strong forum
#

actually not the case

#

tier tokens arent on the normal loot table

#

or are you saying, if you killed them on hc you can loot the mythic token if you killed 2 mythic bosses?

#

cuz i think it doesnt matter at all when it comes to tierset from raid

modern brook
#

i will second parrygodx on that

#

to my knoweledge teir from the vault does not care about your progression

jagged pier
#

Im 99% u have to have at least killed raz and brood somewhere because the bosses have to be in the loot table of available bosses

median tulip
#

Someone did some stats back in SL; there's a random chance of Tier replacing any slot regardless of you having killed the boss, and once you have killed the boss there's a higher chance of it appearing as loot from that boss

#

So you can get Raz tier without killing her, but you have a higher chance if you have

sick sentinel
#

you can never get terts on catalyst gear far as i can tell right

#

i think its so far, that even a chest with avoidance/leech say, loses it

#

i know for sockets its supposed to keep, the socket, i assume theg gem might get deleted maybe

fresh igloo
#

i didn't think it was supposed to lose tertiary stats. huh.

sick sentinel
#

is that a thing or nah guys? cuz i might hang on to set pieces slots i find with tert

shell mortar
#

Can confirm, got a helm that way

#

Only first 2 is what I do

#

Never killed any other

cunning canyon
#

Is Strike Twice weapon still the best simming weapon possible if I got offered a 421 on vault?

#

or did people swap to a haste/verst sword for the better stat optimization?

plush tendon
#

Strike Twice is best

#

at 421

lusty tiger
#

421 strike twice > 421 haste/crit weapon > 421 haste/vers weapon

cunning canyon
#

ok so I got a no duh vault this week, just taking 421 strike twice

plush tendon
#

well i mean, what else you got

cunning canyon

Is it possible on warcraft logs to see the rings someone wore on a kill? It shows trinkets, but I can't find rings?

If you are looking at the individual parse, and go to summary should show everything they were wearing

hybrid gust
#

is there a way to prevent mana bomb and fissure overlap in AA?

should I main prot or arms? what's better for mythics

i like the feeling of being the tank and always getting ques

royal rune
#

You want to tank or dps

sick sentinel

i can't really speak for dps, but for keys prot warreior is best tank

tiny trellis

i'm just not super experienced tanker

sick sentinel

one of best tanks

then I shall grow as a tanker I suppose

meatn W i'm memei'ing, but its not very hard really

royal rune
#

I love tanking mythic s

#

And dpsing in raid

sick sentinel
#

"attack the monster until it dies, repeat until you reach the exit"

tiny trellis
#

so you tank mythics and dps in raid, i like that

#

but which loot selection to get gear from?

#

i feel like i've been raising ilvl so slowly i've been playing sincel aunch and im only lvl 381 i don't ge tit

#

how am i so bad

vivid sonnet
#

any good routes for nokud this week

sick sentinel
#

by mythics i thought you meant mythic keystones sorry

#

im not a raider sorry, i don't have great raid insight

prisma crane
#

if you're new to tanking i recommend just running lots of M+ dungeons

#

also recommend just making your own groups with your own keys

#

and just running them as high as you feel comfortable

#

learn the dungeons and learn good routes to go

twilit peak
tiny trellis
#

I play quite a lot I just don't seem to progress far enough in any one area to make progress

#

I bought a few pieces of elemental gear, pvp gear, and LFR and M+5 is highest I've done

#

Ok, where do I use valor to level it up? when should I ues that new machine to turn things into set pieces?

prisma crane
#

short of joining an organized guild or fairly organized pugs there isnt really much of a progression path outside of M+

#

you could probably work your way up to +10 with relative ease at your ilvl if you're new

#

and use your sparks of ingenuity on items like a weapon and shield first

tiny trellis
#

yeah I don't get what the sparks are for

#

a crafting order?

prisma crane
#

yes

twilit peak
#

Sparks are for crafted gear

prisma crane
#

at a base ilvl the crafted gear is 382, but even terrible crafters can make them at least 389 by now

twilit peak
#

Most can do 392 at this point

prisma crane
#

and then as you run M+ dungeons at 11 or higher, you get items that you can combine to upgrade your crafted items to 405

#

and that at 16+ you can upgrade them to 418

#

as you get your score up you can upgrade your gear with valor up til 415 at 2400 rating

#

tbh w/ crafting to smooth the curve this is the best natural gear progression without requiring raiding i've seen in maybe ever

tiny trellis
#

awesome thanks. ok didn't know you ge titems to upgrade crafted gear

#

I have those tokens to turn a gear piece into a set piece at the forge of innovation or whatever but

oak heart
#

It's best to use that on m+ gear that can be upgraded if you don't mythic raid, crafted gear can't be turned into tier either

glad dew
#

Heroic grieftorch or 6 ilvls on tier shoulders?

#

Trampling hooves trinket at 415 and whetstone at 415 I think on dungeon slice torch beats trampling hooves by a little bit

#

Currently 415 would be 421

round pendant
#

Damn void slash SLAPS on +20 fort

glad dew
#

Yeah heroic is on farm, probably better to get the shoulders for both Ms and os

#

Yeah

tiny trellis
#

so sword and shield is the best thing to ues the purple things on

Isn’t it a tyr week this week?

Ohh eu

tiny trellis

so i go to the AH and buy 17 of those ores and make a crafting order for this

yes

ask crafter wheather u need q2 or a3

If you want max rank find a crafter

sterile bough

q3

oak heart
#

don't forget the missive, what server are you on?

sterile bough
#

I have it 100% of the time

#

it has its usages on every dungeon

warm plinth
#

The recommended dungeons to use it are AV, RLP, and TJS

fresh igloo

there's SOMETHING spell blockable in every dungeon, it's just not necessarily worth losing that damage output tradeoff in the others when you don't need it to survive.

strong forum
#

buy r2 mats

#

not r3

fresh igloo
#

if you use bad mat quality now, recrafting penalty later will suck.

#

if you're never gonna recraft it higher and Q2 is sufficient, then great.

distant crystal
#

someone told me to set min quality to r3 today when i had it set for r4

#

thought i was getting scammed but it proc'd r5 on first craft

#

didn't realize that was a thing

jagged pier
#

inspire proc

distant crystal
#

just didn't realize you could both not guarantee r4 but also proc all the way to r5

fresh igloo
#

it is possible to inspire up multiple levels, yes. but that indicates they aren't capped out on the craft most likely.

distant crystal
#

it was a recraft, he said he had 40% for r5

deep spruce
#

Can someone link the weakaura which says either battle stance or defensive - in text - not an image

distant crystal
#

so i sent it was minimum r4 like i usually do, and he declined and said to do r3 min

fresh igloo
#

40% ish inspo chance is pretty much standard for someone who has built it out.

tiny trellis
#

how am i even supposed to find out what the crafting requirements are without going back to the crafting station

distant crystal
#

ah so just a weird UI bug basically

fresh igloo
#

yeah the recipe difficulty has some visual bugs that are really dumb.

toxic pewter
distant crystal
#

the pro-tip for pugging is, it's okay to not share your opinion on other ppl's gameplay

#

you'd be amazed at how much that will improve your game quality

fresh igloo
#

my normal rate is 5k on a spark craft and 10k if i'm burning my own mats to guarantee a quality. (like insight to 418).

someone just threw down 50k on a primal molten longsword today without any prompting

distant crystal
#

like yeah that guy might be bad and getting carried hard, but letting him know isn't going to benefit you in any way, and it will often do the opposite :p applies to a lot of situations in life

There's a good reason you don't go right first. It takes longer to run back through that side than the other

It's not the same amount of running

when i came back in BFA and i was a total noob

#

I have a 408 All-Totem of the Master, I mainly M+, would the seed be better than all totem?

sick sentinel
#

if it was me, and this is saying something, i would use seed and totem

#

so, feel free to ask someone else if you want they may disagree

#

this is what I would want to do.

#

whats your other trinket?, or trinkets, or ones you want to go after

errant lark
#

415 whetstone other one, does like 8% of my dmg most runs

strong forum
#

all-totem is the best tank trinket in the game

#

burgeoning seed is only smth you run when you LITERALLY dont have anything else

errant lark
#

ok thanks

sick sentinel
#

versa stays at 553 for all 5 stacks

#

or it's, 553, 1106, etc? ( 1, 2 etc stacks)

wanton bridge
#

Im running whetstone and a 408 all totem

strong forum
#

it increases per stack yogi

sick sentinel
#

if you got 2500 versa for 12 seconds it MIGHT be woth it

nah it is not

#

it takes 2 minutes to stack up

for a 12% dmg buff for 12 seconds

wanton bridge
#

so if I don't have the fire rings (and I don't raid on this toon) - do I go frostfire belt or craft the haste/vers

sick sentinel

but what im saying i would try to do with it, is i would use it to line it up with my avatar and demo

well, maybe it's bad, but i would like to have it in bags for materialistic purpose i guess

thats valid

i also like to collect trinkets just to have em

but i wouldnt commit a vault pick for it

if he has like a blue WQ trinket, that one is better

but thats about the only way really

as a proc you cant count on it for anything on the defensive end

like i said, it's up to you, like if you have a 418 chest or something then obviously just take the trinket

i just do not think that an extra vers proc on a few ppl's trinkets is going to make or break ANY guild's progress at this point in the tier

Hey guys, I'm new at tanking! Can anyone explain to me how blocking works? Using Shield Block makes us block all meele attacks with 100% chance right? If I wasn't using Shield Block for some reason, do we still have a block chance since part of our mastery says it increases our chance to block? Is there anywhere I can see what's my total block chance?

strong forum
#

SB is a damage reduction based on block value

#

your total block chance is shown by hovering over mastery

#

shield block increases basic block chance by 100%

frosty geyser
strong forum
#

the direct value of your mastery is critblock chance

strong forum
frosty geyser
#

It says it increases my chance to block by 15%, so that's a 15% chance that I will randomly block without shield block? Is that all the chance I have total or is there anywhere to check this? Also, it says my critical block chance is 45.3%, does that mean that every attack I block has 45.3% to block double damage?

strong forum
#

yes

frosty geyser
#

I see

#

Interesting

#

Wait

#

But on my block stat it says I have a 42.96% block chance

#

So I have that chance to block anything if my shield block is down, that's correct?

strong forum
#

ye

#

you get +12% block chance from shield specilization talent

#

flat

#

and then some other base block chance mixed in, coupled with mastery

frosty geyser
#

I see

#

Cool

#

And the amount of damage reduction is based only on the shield? Or other stats?

strong forum
#

only shield

frosty geyser
#

And why is mastery considered a bad stat on guides?

strong forum
#

its not bad

warm plinth
#

You also get block value from the Brace for Impact talent (but obviously that does nothing without the shield in the first place).

strong forum
#

just of lowest value

#

other stats just offer more

#

mastery is offensively our worst stat up to a certain point (if you have very little of it), and defensively its not gonna outshine crit or vers

#

mastery is good when its free

#

but in the long run, you benefit more from other stats

#

and haste is obv king for all around gameplay

warm plinth
#

Yeah so not that you should use stat weights for any sort of decision making, but because my warrior's mastery is so low, it's actually right below haste in value per point right now

#

for ST anyway
