SBG last boss "mist" the adds put on the ground

#

OK

#

OK

#

I AINT IN IT

#

BUT I GO TTHE DOT

#

OK

pallid quiver
#

but that's like

not the point, even for your own argument

toxic solar
#

i mean agreed I think there needs to be more visual clarity

vale escarp
#

True, second HoV Boss is so much easier since the new visuals

median tulip
#

I love how blizz "made that more visible", and it's AFTER it goes off

pallid quiver
#

"Just do the mechanic" isn't accurate. The issue is the mechanic isn't shown to the player, and that's why WAs are considered necessary

toxic solar
#

but that ones pretty unoffending, it's just a "don't stand in front of the mob" mechanic

warm plinth
pallid quiver
#

It's the single most offensive ability in current M+ to me

ionic fern
#

Or ANY of the swirly mechanics on the ground...will i get hit by the swirly if i stand near the almost invisible part of it? YOU NEVER KNOW.

pallid quiver
#

If you were to run into that boss for the first time

#

Unless you happen to know what the fuck Shockwave does as an ability in WoW,

pallid quiver
#

you run the risk of getting your cheeks clapped

ionic fern
#

Ya.

#

Wild.

toxic solar
#

Same w/ the green stuff in algathar academy

pallid quiver
#

Addons making people do things faster isn't the problem; it's things needing to be shown with addons so that players can deal with them without having to go on a video/wiki binge

warm plinth
#

So, actually, the worm body slam is just a bugged animation. If you look close to the worm, the left side of the animation (as you're looking at the worm) only comes out like 10 yards from the worm and then is invisible from there

#

But it's technically there

#

😂

pallid quiver
#

So, like, the issue with Odyn's rune is that there isn't time for human reaction whatsoever before you start getting dot slapped

warm plinth
#

Small indie company

#

Yeah like 25 tyr I'm pretty sure you just get 2-shot by that shit

toxic solar
pallid quiver
#

Even with a WA

median tulip
#

DPS need to use some kind of defensive for it

pallid quiver
#

There's not enough time to see the text/direction and respond before you get punished with the failure mechanic

warm plinth
#

I use a health potion for it and hope we don't get a 2nd one 😂

pallid quiver
#

but at least a new player knows something's happening i guess

toxic solar
pallid quiver
#

yeah that's slower than text

median tulip
#

Personal preference

pallid quiver
#

Audio queues that are not sounds are inherently slower

toxic solar
#

no shot, audio queue will definitely be faster than looking at text

pallid quiver
#

There's no physical way for them to be faster since you have to wait for the audio

toxic solar
#

because your eyes aren't focused on the text

pallid quiver
#

the text is just there

warm plinth
grizzled kite
#

guise guise light faster than sound!! therefore text faster than audio ))))

toxic solar
#

well yes, but just because the text is there doesn't mean you don't have to read it and process it

pallid quiver
#

and same with audio

toxic solar
#

whereas the audio is going to be done while you're focusing on something else

pallid quiver
#

It's the same in fighting games and reaction

#

People also react to visual stimulus faster than audio stimulus

#

unless you are legitimately built different

grizzled kite
#

you're a stimulus

toxic solar
# pallid quiver and same with audio

??? Try reading something while focusing on something else, and then try focusing on something while someone says something to you. You will process the audio easier

#

you only have 1 set of eyes

opaque drum
#

Hi guys! Coming from 10 years of DPSing , and that’s my first time approaching to prot warr . I’ve got a quick question what shall i upgrade first to 418 Weapon or shield?

toxic solar
#

but you have 1 set of eyes and 1 set of ears

pallid quiver
#

Yo, I do this literally all the time in fighting games

pallid quiver
#

Literally all the time

grizzled kite
toxic solar
#

i dont know if this is like a me having ADHD thing or something, but it's 100% easier for me to process audio while visually focusing on my rotation and where im moving my character, than to focus on my character and then read text at the same time

opaque drum
#

@grizzled kite @warm plinth thanks guys

pallid quiver
#

Assuming 60 FPS, it is about 16 frames for an average person to react to something in general, with expectation of something to come

that is faster than the amount of time it takes for a voice file to say (First Direction) (Second Direction) just base

#

You're not expecting the text is literally just it

#

if you get caught off guard by it, your reaction time goes to pooper level

#

That's how people get opened up to the slowest shit in the land in fighting games

grizzled kite
#

why are you even talking about fighting games? and what the fuck is this even about? you guys started talking about mechanic designs and now devolved into how fast synapses are firing

#

like take it to #general or something jesus

pallid quiver
#

It's relevant to the Odyn mechanic discussion

#

And about the necessity of WAs

toxic solar
#

i mean its definitely a siderant thats not really relevant

pallid quiver
#

But it's directly related to you mentioning that you need WAs to handle Odyn's mechanic in that in enables you to do it

grizzled kite
#

you're clogging up the channel with your fanboyism over "muh fighting games"

toxic solar
#

i just really got caught off guard because i must be built differently because reacting to audio queues while focusing on everything else visually is much easier for me

#

and thought that was normal

grizzled kite
#

whilst dodging the balls, yes audio queues makes it easier

#

is it faster? maybe

warm plinth
#

This channel sidetracks all the time. As long as no one is being ignored that needs help, who gives a shit

jagged island
#

Still talking about Odyn... A tip, stand in middle of the circle before the runes pop. That way you have the same distance to every rune 😉

pallid quiver
#

It was a discussion about how good the mechanic was rather than how to handle it

grizzled kite
#

the mechanic is absolutely shit and needs to be tuned down at higher keys for sure

warm plinth
#

yeah it is, though I think I would probably just make it so you have an extra second before the damage starts or something like that

#

rather than tuning the damage down

olive mulch
#

It was also a discussion about how dumb the game is when important information isn't displayed without addons

#

When I get the debuff, I have to quickly look at the mark over my head and then look at all the different runes through thr bullshit visual clutter and then go. But if you have a WA giving you an audio cue, that's literally the difference between another tick or two

#

Thats bad game design

warm plinth
#

why are you on a different account now o_O

olive mulch
#

Lmao long story, basically I lost my 2FA on my actual account so when I hop in bed on my phone I have to use a separate account.

warm plinth
#

ahhh

#

I was like wait a second...

olive mulch
#

Basically the moment I get logged out of my discord account on my PC that account is gone for good because I don't remember the password and lost the 2fa

pallid quiver
#

That's an unfortunate set of circumstances

olive mulch
#

Indeed

pallid quiver
#

Can probably swing by Discord support; will be a pain, but can probably do something

#

technically they can, whether they will for their policy or not's a different question

olive mulch
#

I will try that at some point I'm sure

#

But for now it's easier to just do this

warm plinth
#

I had to merge my authy account yesterday because of something similar. I had to do a bunch of shit with my twitch which made me have to reset my stream key, which made me have to do forgot password, which then tried to SMS my old phone

#

It was this whole thing

olive mulch
#

Yup it's fucking awful

warm plinth
#

But got it done thankfully and now I have all shiny new stuff on my twitch hmmNod

olive mulch
#

Everyone talks about the positives of 2FA, no one talks about the negatives, stupid people like me who forget their passwords and get rid of their phones that have authy on them

warm plinth
#

I actually get emails regularly about people attempting to log in to my discord, despite having 2FA and a generated password

olive mulch

Thankfully I dony

Purge isn't half bad this xpac

grizzled kite
#

how can I make life easier for my group as a tank in HoV especially on Hyrja?

#

feels like pug healers just blow their shit on the first blue dome and then the second one comes and we just die (I'm the last to die obviously)

blazing condor
#

for the dome its just rallying cry for the group

#

unless you take a lot of damage too then you can pop defensives

#

not ones you'd use on the beam tho

mortal mountain
#

You can also try to sac and give vigilance to one party member

strong forum
#

uhuh

#

dont forget to wog and spellward too

sweet summit
#

/w <healer> don't be shit thanks

languid light
#

Inverting her specials makes Hyrja a lot easier

#

Just don’t be afraid to double-beam her for a while at the start

jagged island
#

would recommend to go in and try the pulls sometimes before you do it in a key

#

did it yesterday in a 22, healer didnt have any problems at all

#

especially when they are used to ALOT of more dmg

languid light
#

Yeah, go in alone on M0 and do it a few times, you can reset her by rubbing against the entrance

mortal mountain
#

Doing the safe inversion or missing the "good" one comes with the risk of 1/4 that the guy with expel light gets 1shot from a chain lightning

#

I guess that's always something that can happen nvm me

lavish kayak
#

which embellishment is the best for the crafted weapon as tank? mainly m+

jagged pier
#

none cause u want strike twice ideally

jagged island
#

Strike twice 415 or crafted 418?

jagged pier
#

strike twice

lavish kayak
#

ok i'll work on upgrading that, i guess lariat and another crafted then?

languid light
#

Many people go with lariat and belt, but they’re all pretty close

lavish kayak
#

thanks

hardy snow
#

didnt they plan to nerf lariat to be more dependant on how many gems character have equipped?

jagged pier

thats coming at some point

but if u have all gems

its the same

hello , it s probably been constant asked but is there any stone for the onyx ammulet we actually NEED/WANT ? seems kinda bad atm 🙂

solemn island
#

i have seen that but what i mean is like utility wise

jagged pier
#

i mean those are the only gems that give the same benefit as current ilvl rings u put anything else in there

#

its pointless to wear

solemn island
#

my uneducated guess would be its a clear no

#

ah

jagged pier
#

i mean even with those gems i probably wouldnt equip it

#

they need to buff it by a lot for us

sick sentinel
#

Can you still reflect the tornados from CoS last boss to despawn them one by one or has it been changed and i didnt notice ?

solemn island
#

so my guess is we still go cos + eggnog ?

jagged pier
#

yes

solemn island
#

thanks alot for the fast response 🙂 good day !

ionic fern
#

Remember, that as soon as a 2nd target is involved the gems get trashed even more.

jagged pier
#

i mean bliz have said they want ppl to have it so they will buff it

sick sentinel
jagged pier
#

and then nerf it again next teir

#

which seems pointless

#

should just be a nice ring for casuals imo

solemn island
#

if they put some secondary on it maybe ?

#

that could be a quick fix i assume

tropic gorge
#

Gotta be honest I don't even know what item is being talked about for that

solemn island
tropic gorge
#

Oh. Meh, probably pass on it unless I make an alt

#

It'll probably be a good item to take for a short period until content is cleared. Then sit in bags or get vendered

ionic fern

And it's even funnier because it's supposed to be replaced fairly soon'ish.

I work for a small family business. Doing what I do, it's still odd for old people and boomers to have a blue collared working man in their area, that's also a huge nerd

#

After big college games, usually when playing against Alabama the guys always talk about it. I got asked once if I watched some game and my response was "no, I was raiding in warcraft. It's a lot more fun".
The broken looks I got was hilarious

When I got into wow 13 years ago, it was because of a fellow plant operator at a lead smelter I worked at.

Absolutely lol

I saw him reading a book on his phone and he kinda mumbled that it was part of the darth bane trilogy, so we proceeded to chat star wars for the next 3 hours of our shift

Yup! Going from talking about legit dude shit to nerd shit instantly lol

#

core races require exalted and a quest line

#

allied simply requires start from lvl 1 to 50 as that allied race (no race change)

toxic pewter
#

The literal character you get the armor on must be the one exalted right

sick sentinel
#

no

#

its just as i said

#

i did all races except about 4

#

core race, that was already in wow, human or orc or dwarf or tauren, those need exalted and a quest line after exalted

#

allied simply requires create new of that race, level it to 50, and turn in the quest, they don't have quest or exalted thing to do for those, like vulper and kultiran

toxic pewter
#

Right

The Wraithverge is one of the weapons available in HeXen and its expansion Deathkings of the Dark Citadel. This is only available to the Cleric (one of the three playable classes) and has to be collected from three pieces before the player can use it.

The Wraithverge releases four wraith spirits that automatically seek enemies, literally rippin...

Dragonflight weekly maintenance times are the worst they've been since vanilla... jeeze

Also, vanilla didn't have regular maintenance, that wasn't really a set thing until tbc

i meant spellblock*

median tulip
#

You really don't need the double Shield Wall charge talent

uneven mason
#

It's just confusingly written is all 😉

broken juniper
#

yeah, sorry for my shit english

uneven mason
#

And yeah for tjs io is a better swap than double wall

median tulip
#

TBH the best thing to do is to ask your DPS to ensure they have CDs for Jade phase; burning through that bit of the fight is the best strategy

broken juniper
#

i was watching nerftank and he did use the double-shield-wall

uneven mason
broken juniper
#

and i also found it easier, since sometimes u can get a healer that doesn't know how bad prot warriors is for that boss

uneven mason
#

Yeah it works, just in general you lose a lot of sw uses going double wall vs minimally through io

jagged pier
#

u dont need double wall u should have enough without as spell block covers 2

broken juniper
uneven mason
#

Double wall carries a massive opportunity cost to rage economy

toxic pewter
#

do european servers have downtime on patch days or whats the situation with their maintenance

broken juniper
median tulip
#

We're not that bad. Spell Reflect reduces the damage too. Stance Dance to DStance if necessary, use IV on every second one, Last Stand, Healing Potion and Rallying Cry the ones in-between IVs

slim dove
#

we're pretty bad at 3rd boss tjs.

jagged pier
#

and when i did it was only 20s

broken juniper
#

oh thats why u said that then lol

slim dove
#

arguably the worst

uneven mason
jagged pier
#

u dont need double wall for 20s

broken juniper
#

i need for +22 +23

#

like, absolutely need

jagged pier
#

u might

#

its a very subjective thing

broken juniper
#

not on fortified weeks tho

uneven mason
#

Like I said it works but isn't the best option mathematically

broken juniper
#

dunno where u could possibly use shield wall until the the third boss and the last pack tbh, if u do need shield wall before then ur doing something wrong

slim dove
#

its not about needing wall before.

#

you just use it to reduce load on healer

#

🙂

#

sw has 1min cd with proper play sooo

broken juniper
jagged pier
#

thats not how u use your mitigations tools on a spec based aroun dmitigation

slim dove
#

your trolling not using it basically off CD unless you know you need it for a mech

jagged pier
#

u should be using SW as much as possible

#

basically

broken juniper
#

i dont need it unless something goes very wrong, and i'm always at 80%+ hp

slim dove
#

hi

#

its not about needing it

jagged pier
#

again its not about needing

#

SW is a 55 second CD with the correct play and talents

median tulip
#

On bosses I generally have a plan for SWall use

jagged pier
#

so u use it most minutres

#

while planning to have it back for when u need it

slim dove
#

never fails tbh.

broken juniper
#

yes it is about needing it, when you push keys you dont really have a choice to use ur CDs timed perfectly, so yeah i think the word "need" is adequate

slim dove
#

nice.

#

gl pushing bro

broken juniper
median tulip
#

Well, on difficult bosses. Crawth and the elemental in AA I have a plan. Tree is just "use it on the adds". Last boss is just use on cooldown, for example

noble shadow
#

Anyone knows has or knows how to make a weakaura that triggers when the Scent of Blood spell is being cast (fenrirs fixate).
I want it to make my teammate party frame glow when the boss is targetting him with the scent blood so it makes it easier for me to intervine fast.

slim dove
#

do you not have target's target frames?

noble shadow
#

that is actually a good point

#

didnt think of that

slim dove
#

yeah you have the full cast bar of scent to figure out intervene

median tulip
broken juniper
#

usually DBM/bigwigs calls the name of the target, you have like 2-3 seconds to do it i think before the cast goes off

mortal mountain
#

at what key range do you guys play where you never spec into double wall may i ask

noble shadow
#

ye but I usually panic a bit there and cant find my teammate frame

#

want to make it easier

broken juniper
#

yeah i get that

median tulip
#

Use that macro

broken juniper
#

usually ur teamate should be the one panicking

noble shadow
median tulip
#

Fenrir targets the victim from the start of the cast, so that will always intervene the victim

broken juniper
#

fenrir also faces the target while casting, if it helps

fresh igloo
median tulip
#

You do not need double wall for that boss

slim dove
#

^

broken juniper
mortal mountain
#

i asked about key range not for the reasoning of picking that talent over the other 😄

broken juniper
#

i mean, a few high io prot warrior does use the double shield wall talent, i guess u guys are just better than em!

fresh igloo
mortal mountain
#

yes it is

#

theres a big difference between 23s and 26s

median tulip
#

I've literally never specified double wall

slim dove
mortal mountain
#

some routes/pulls are just not possible without double wall or heavy kiting

median tulip
#

I'd sooner spec immovable object than double wall

mortal mountain
#

which loses dps

jagged pier
#

the higher u go the worse double wall gets

mortal mountain
#

definetly not true

slim dove
#

not a single route or pull requires double wall

#

but alright,.

jagged pier
#

double wall only is good if u have to back to back shield wall

#

so like MDI where the keys are low and u pull everything

mortal mountain
#

its more uptime on adds most of the time which is faster overall

jagged pier
#

so double SW is good

its less SWs overall

so its not more uptime

mortal mountain

its more uptime on adds as in you can stay in the pack longer

not overall shieldwall uptime

oh wow I can stay in 1 pack longer

where i can stay in more pakcs for longer

get more

use more cds

Shield Wall with the other talent basically has a like 1m cd if you're Shield Slamming appropriately

ionic fern

I liked double wall in TJS (especially for the last pack) and AV..but now i've done my routes in the way that i benefit more from CDR.

Still miss double wall sometimes in very specific scenarios, but overall CDR will net you better benefits.

its more rage as well

You will get many more Walls for a run with the other talent over double Wall

slim dove

no.

Double Wall gives you like 1 extra wall as opposed to like 2 and possibly having it up immediately after

you guys are delusional thinking that people can get into the top 50 without having good mitigation and "being carried by ur group"

if u take into account that high keys are usually in a premade enviroment it makes even less sense to play double wall
