#

Not even lying, I've been getting into Tetris a lot lately

#

Shit is crazy

crude notch
#

I found out that it's still the best selling game of all time.

undone sun
#

tetris 99 was crazy when it was peak

warm plinth
#

I was watching the 2022 classic Tetris championships the other day

crude notch
#

We sound old af rn.

warm plinth
#

The final dudes both got to like level 60 and 2 million points when 10 years ago there were only like 8 people in the world who could get to a million and getting to level 29 was called the "kill screen"lol

#

Anyway, I have been looking for an NES now

#

so I can play the real deal

lusty grotto
#

hmm i still have mine

#

but its on a box

serene yew
#

do you guys often overcap on rage?

lusty grotto
#

i dont plan on opening it up when switch online exists lol

serene yew
#

sometimes I cant spend my rage fast enough

lusty grotto
#

use IP

serene yew
#

just stack if it's already up?

mighty valley
#

yes

#

spending rage is always good

#

overcapping is always bad

lusty grotto
#

indeed

serene yew
#

I'm trying to revenge but its just capping so fast sometimes

#

in aoe lol

mighty valley
#

yeah you just fill all your GCDs with SS > TC > Revenge

serene yew
#

I guess it makes I'll spam IP instead

mighty valley
#

and then mash IP on top of that

#

since it's not on the GCD

#

it's not "instead"

lusty grotto
#

uhhh dont spam

Shield

old sinew
#

horn of valor is dog-shit, big trap. I had it for a while, it does not perform well. take the shield

#

get yourself a 415 whetstone. easier said than done I know but yeah, horn of valor is not in the same league as big boi trinkets

#

even at 421

rose lantern
#

Cool. I didn't think it was that much better, even though it's a great stat stick it feels like for the vers mitigation.

#

Wanted to make sure I wasn't completely out to lunch and there wasn't something I wasn't considering.

lusty grotto
#

421 shield is the only thing you should be looking at there

#

get 421 shield, then swap to fury for vaults like the rest of us

warm plinth
#

You're not my dad

rose lantern
#

lol that's a great idea

lusty grotto
#

my 421 whetstone says otherwise

#

along with my 421 leech shield

#

😄

#

still waiting on 421 weapon though feelsbad

serene yew
#

is there any way to get those knowldge books to upgrade the primalist gear? or is it only rng drops?

old sinew
#

421 whetstone and 421 leech weapon reporting in. Lol. No 421 shield tho

lusty grotto
#

oof

old sinew
#

I was on the hunt for whetstone too many vaults to fish a shield tbh

#

Figured whetstone > 3 shield ilvl

lusty grotto
#

ehh i would go shield over a whetstone tbh

old sinew
#

I only finally looted whetstone last Tuesday 😱😱😱

old sinew
lusty grotto
#

well i got whetstone 2 weeks ago honestly

#

and maybe a month ago for shield

#

but still i would go shield over it

mighty valley
#

if you're not pushing your limits and just want to blast, taking whetstone is fine

lusty grotto
#

of course

mighty valley
#

and it is fair that there's only one whetstone and multiple shields

#

but yeah, living turns out to be the most important thing

lusty grotto
#

yea i get that like sentenza said

#

however shield first means no swapping to prot for any vault

mighty valley
#

tru

#

clarity is nice

rose lantern
#

Even though the stats on the sheild aren't completely ideal?

lusty grotto
#

the only thing that matters on shield is the block value

rose lantern
#

421 = good enough?

old sinew
lusty grotto
#

i would agree if you were soloing keys

#

but you arent

#

that's as much of a responsibility, if not more, of your dps

old sinew
lusty grotto
#

either way im not saying its a bad choice

#

its a different one

mighty valley
#

the percentage effect on group damage of you having a whetstone vs. slightly suboptimal trinket just isn't as big a difference as how much you can safely pull

rose lantern
#

"Not my job to kill things fast, my job to live and hold agro" Kind of my primary focus first.

lusty grotto
#

its not black and white

#

and shouldn't be

#

or at least in this iteration of WoW

#

there's sound logic in what Sentenza is saying given the availability of the items

rose lantern
#

Oh totally.

old sinew
#

In 24s and 25s I’m at the point where other than TJS I mostly live pulls - I just need the pull to go faster to make time. Yes, you can say just get blasters and it’s easy clap but I need to care about dps. There’s no m+ close to as good for doing damage as whetstone. It’s not slightly optimal it farms the other trinkets

#

How much safer does 3 ilvl on shield make you really? It won’t help me live a not-reflected dark claw

warm plinth
#

It's your job to live and hold aggro. Living is done by gameplay. Holding aggro is done by doing damage.

#

3 ilevels on shield comes out to like 1% additional reduction from blocking. Not including the armor gain, which idk the numbers for.

old sinew
#

Ya I mean you don’t live on the margins you live or you fucked up, mostly. Tyr Crawth is probably the only fight where I would like to passively live more

lusty grotto
#

right and a shield wont help you there honestly

warm plinth
#

These are the damage reduction percentages for the top 3 ilevels of shields using the Mythic/M+ K value

harsh light
#

Anyone help me figure out why fenyry still eats the chasee when they are intervened?

lusty grotto
#

if they move far from you, it wont intercept the damage

#

so every single person that gets intervened, and runs like an idiot dies

#

cause they are stupid

#

alternatively, if you move far away from them, youre killing them

harsh light
#

I have had people run for sure, but i was in coms on a dungeon today, a low one and i told them to stay.... they became lunch i intervened right before cast finished

#

I'll make sure we're on top of eachother next time

lusty grotto
#

read the ability

#

you have to be within 10 yards of each other

harsh light
#

Oh yeah we were for sure within 10yards

lusty grotto
#

do you have logs?

harsh light
#

Wasn't running raiderio for that one

lusty grotto
#

ok then i guarantee you that you guys weren't within 10 yards

harsh light
#

Ok, I'll give it a shot tmm in another baby key, make sure im not messing up, or fix my mess up

#

Appreciate it

indigo gulch
#

hi all, just to check for season 2 will pwar be still good? or prot pally will be better

crude notch
rustic trench
#

stoneform will get rid of the bleed from 2nd boss of RLP right?

rustic trench
#

sorry if its a dumb question just wanna make sure i know forsure before i faction change dwarf instead of dark iron

rustic trench
wind hare
#

Also works on AA bird bleed

lusty grotto
#

i mean you can do it without being dwarf

#

im orc and i do fine in 21s and 22s

rustic trench
#

in 25 Crawth bleed is nasty af without an evoker

#

I actually havent been able to get through a 25 tyr Crawth without an evoker without dying once

lusty grotto
#

yup at that point then yes dwarf is the go to

indigo gulch
#

for high key like 22 and up, you all is using def stance or battle stance more

lusty grotto
#

mostly battle

#

swap for big damage

#

same as any key really

indigo gulch
#

hmm ok, but when do 22 i feel my hp drop faster than normal when using battle stance.

lusty grotto
#

i mean, of course

#

d stance is 10% dr

#

battle has nothing DR related

serene yew
#

which addon/wa do you guys use to show exact mob % for m+ on the mobs tooltip?

lusty grotto
#

i think astral keys does it

#

i could be wrong

patent gorge
#

I use warp deplete .

#

I know that does. Been very happy with it

lusty grotto
#

i use both

slow harbor
#

astral keys does it

serene yew
#

okay

lusty grotto
#

so idk which one does it but im pretty sure i had % on tooltips before i ever put warp deplete in

serene yew
#

is angry keys any good?

indigo gulch
#

i think i guess i have to get use to the dmg for higer key

serene yew
#

angry keystones*

lusty grotto
#

idk ? maybe?

#

i havent used it since legion tbh

serene yew
#

is it worth using an auto marker for m+ ?

sick sentinel
#

If you’re communicating with your group then yes. If there’s no communication and random markers are just being thrown up then it doesn’t really do anything.

7min30s overtime +20 CoS.. why did i have 2 overtime runs last week omg

#

i guess fort is easier than tyrannical for that dungeon

lusty karma
#

How did the tier change pan out today?
Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible: 2-Set Bonus – Shield Slam now reduces the cooldown of Last Stand by 1 second (was 0.5 seconds).
Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible: 4-Set Bonus – The wave of force generated by the 4-set bonus deals 45% of Attack Power.

mighty valley
#

With that post, you know as much as the rest of us

lusty karma
#

nvm found it

#

was hoping we'd get a bit more attack power or % of SS damage

lusty grotto
#

im not entirely sure why people are misunderstanding the wording but i supposed blizzard should have made it clearer

reef sable
#

What are the recommendations for our 424 rings by the way? We running the Prophetic/Desirous/Humming DPS setup or is there a better recommendation for us?

lusty grotto
#

the wave of force hits for 45% attack power, its not part of the shield slam, it goes off after it

#

2 pc was buffed, 4pc was just a clarification on how hard this "wave of force" would hit for

#

there, hopefully that clears things up

lone eagle
#

Man

#

Looking at getting out of P2.5 on M Rasz at >71k dps

#

Ring is absolutely pumping

#

doing between 10-15% of my damage depending on proc luck during shields

lusty karma
#

Doing it based off of a % of how hard SS hits is what would make sense, so scaled from the outcome of that hit

lusty karma
#

so if SS hits harder it hits harder, it hits weaker it hits weaker

#

since it's the force from the blow

lusty grotto
#

why would it make sense

lusty karma
#

the way it's worded implies that, that's the issue

lusty grotto
#

im sorry but i dont see it that way

#

unleashes a wave of force

lusty karma
#

"Shield Slam unleashes a wave of force"

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

you read the same thing as i did

lusty karma
#

it's a wave of force generated from SS, so it should be related to how hard SS hits from that wording

lusty grotto
#

no

lusty karma
#

because the force of the hit can be higher/lower

lusty grotto
#

i dont agree sorry

lusty karma
#

that's how the grammar works for that statement

lusty grotto
#

its just an extra hit after the SS

lusty karma
#

unleashed from SS as a part of the tier set

#

if you don't SS that force doesn't happen

#

right?

lusty grotto
#

right

lusty karma
#

that's why it's implied via the wording, not saying it can't be separate, the wording should've been different

#

that's why people think that

lusty grotto
#

if you dont attack, most ppm trinkets dont fire either but they arent based on you attacks

lusty karma
#

this isn't based on aa though it's based on SS

lusty grotto
#

so i just dont understand why you guys would see it that way

#

let me ask you something

#

is seismic wave based on overpower damage?

#

im talking about the SL talent yes, and also talking about Dreadnaught

#

its something that happens AFTER you overpower

vale ravine
#

just got done with a 20 SBG on my 405 warrior I am flipping out my first 20 thanks for all the info in here and on wowhead

lusty grotto
#

let me give you a spoiler

slim dove
#

it deals 45% of ap

#

not 45% of what SS deals

lusty grotto
#

correct

slim dove
#

some yall need jesus

toxic pewter
#

Is it any good

violet flume
#

so basically its like casting thunderclap when using shieldslam during last stand

lusty grotto
#

sure

#

its free damage

violet flume
#

doesnt sound giga ultra amazing but it is what it is

sick sentinel
#

Man this new ring is only a 10% dps increase

#

Oh wait

#

That is a lot

mighty valley
#

only?

sick sentinel
#

😉

lusty karma
lusty grotto
lusty karma
#

I understand from their wording today that it's just 45% of AP, I was saying it would be nice if it was based off SS damage

mighty valley
#

i mean

lusty karma
#

there's nothing wrong with wanting a different form of scaling, that was implied from the wording

mighty valley
#

SS is based on %AP

#

so like

#

it might as well be

lusty karma
#

but if it was tied to how hard your SS hit

#

that could be more interesting

violet flume
#

btw how does weapon damage factor in abilities, is weapon dps converted to AP?

mighty valley
violet flume
#

for the longest time i thought weapon dps was only affecting autoattacks but clearly not

lusty karma
#

because if your SS hits harder from non-stats then that get's tracked

lusty grotto
lusty karma
#

likewise if it hits for less then that is also scaled down

#

it would scale with SS damage because not all damage is in pure stat form

lusty grotto
#

it would be ridiculous

lusty karma
#

well it depends ont he %

#

if it's 10% then maybe not

lusty grotto
#

fuck that

#

no

#

sorry

#

it doesnt matter

lusty karma
#

makes too much sense i know

lusty grotto
#

if 0 is too much then sure

#

people are free to have low standards after all

Took some of the advice yall gave. Still feel like I waste a bit of rage using shield charge since I use it right after demo shout. I might just practice demo>IP>Shield charge>IP until it gets ingrained. Everything else look better though?

lone eagle
#

So hypothetically

#

if we were to swap out the arcane gem for M+

#

what would be the best AoE gym to proc from the shadow/blood gem interaction

slim dove
#

probably fire licked.

ionic fern
#

Try Desirous / Prophetic / Storm in AoE.

slim dove
#

ong dont tease me

#

is that some cracked as fuck m+ gem setup?

ionic fern
#

Potentially.
I'm just going off numbers/theories since i spent my last evening painting my motorcycle radiator and then doing Razs.

#

No time for ring farm yet.

tall cedar
#

can we have 2 annulet ring btw?

#

so we can use 1 for m+ 1 for raid

slim dove
#

i believe so, yes.

proper roost
#

yeah, they're only unique equipped

tall cedar
#

but this grind idk

#

until they got buffed , it seems too much grind isnt it

hidden linden
slim dove
lone eagle
#

Yeah that seems pretty impressive for an AoE heavy dungeon where you'd expect the stones to fall behind a bit

#

What about the plague one?

ebon sun
#

So between Humming, Flame-licked, Desirous, and Prophetic... which three seem to be working out the best combination-wise for ST?

lone eagle
#

Any good combo currently is going to involve Desirous and Prophetic

#

the 3rd gem is the one up in the air

#

for ST Humming seems to be winning

ebon sun
#

Right, because of the suspected bug with the self-healing triggering.

lone eagle
#

but in AoE, thats where the other options come into play

ebon sun
#

Yes, I'll probably keep Humming in and try out Storming or another one for AOE.

lapis mist
#

how does the ilvl of the prophetic twilight stone affect dmg scaling?

quartz fern
#

It doesn't

#

At least as far as I can tell

Did they buff the annulet yet

Ye the pinned gems gave me 10% dps in sims

#

hey, what is a realisticly good shield block uptime?

#

Right now I'm sitting at around 60% whats def. too low

pallid quiver
#

100% uptime in combat is doable and expected

#

If you're not at level cap, don't worry about it

#

If you are at level cap with only 60% uptime

#

You need to relook at your base rotation and probably your talents

minor lion
#

I'm at level cap... Sitting around 25% haste. Runnung around 15-17 M+

#

100%? Doable and expected... holy. I'm doing a lot wrong then

pallid quiver
#

Haste has 0 influence

minor lion
warm plinth
#

Tbf, we care more about % of blocked hits (viewable via logs) than actual uptime. But we can virtually guarantee that you're not getting a high % of blocked hits with that uptime.

pallid quiver
#

^^^

#

that man's name

#

At an immediate glance for your talents

warm plinth
pallid quiver
#

Barbaric Training kills your rage economy by making revenge cost more rage, meaning you cast it less, meaning you get less SS resets, meaning less SS for SB extensions

minor lion
#

so, kill this talent.

pallid quiver
#

Other than that, your talents are fine enough; I'd swap off Spell Block for dungeons you don't need it, and I'd put the Barbaric Training point into Intimidating Shout for another stop

#

So it's a rotational issue at that point. I can't give any specific advice without any logs

dusty monolith
#

Just want to throw in I've been learning quite a lot so thanks to all the guys taking the time to analyze logs and helping each other

pallid quiver
#

Your CPM is extremely low for what it should be, especially in things like Revenge, which should be your main rage spender. You use Ignore Pain to avoid overcapping rage, and pretty much only then. It sounds like you're not using it a lot, then, but when playing properly, you'll be swimming in enough rage that you hammer the hell out of the button

lunar gazelle
#

unbind slam

#

lmao

minor lion
#

seems to be me ^^

pallid quiver
#

The other notable casts you're missing is that you're not using a lot of your CDs on CD it looks like. You only had 17 casts of Shield Charge through a 30 minute instance. Shield Charge has less than a minute CD and should just be pressed on CD, same as all of our offensive CDs

#

So at the very least, you missed like 260 rage just from shield charge casts alone

warm plinth
#

this hurts me

pallid quiver
#

On top of that, Shield Charge also gives you Shield Block, and is one of the things that keeps your SB uptime, hence why your uptime's likely so low

dusty monolith
#

shield charge also helps with shield block uptime

lunar gazelle
hardy snow
pallid quiver
#

And like the one fellow mentioned before, Slam should be off your bars. It's a DPS warrior only ability. Prot War's version of the ability is Revenge; it does more damage and has actual passive effects

minor lion
#

Slam is gone ^^

dusty monolith
#

is it bad to macro avatar with demo shout when starting out?

pallid quiver
#

Yeah

warm plinth
#

You should basically not notice it being gone because without Barbaric Training, Revenge has the same cost.

pallid quiver
#

They

#

're on entirely different CD cycles

#

So it's more likely to just run into issues since we send all CDs on CD

minor lion
#

revenge presses only on proc?

pallid quiver
#

Revenge always

#

It spends rage

#

It's your button you press if you don't have Shield Slam or Thunder Clap available

#

Prot's base priority list is CDs > Shield Slam > Thunder Clap > Revenge

#

for what to press on any given GCD

minor lion
#

I think i'm way into Ignore Pain

#

a lot of rage I dump into this...

pallid quiver
#

If your rage gets to roughly 60-80, press IP to spend some rage

#

Ignore Pain, over time, costs more rage than Revenge

#

Revenge can reset Shield Slam's cooldown, which generates rage, offsetting some of the cost of Revenge

dusty monolith
minor lion
#

I dump my Rage in Ignore Pain... So, new run and trying it again

pallid quiver
#

The basic flow of the class is the generate and spend rage

dusty monolith
#

ahh til

pallid quiver
#

They

#

re just bonuses for doing your rotation right

minor lion
#

first feedback after punshing the dummy... revenge is great 😛 way more ss procs. Feeling stupid to played like this. Thanks for the help. Try to log it and post it here again

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, feel free to swing back; there's always things to work on, so

brittle owl
pallid quiver
#

no

#

It's even worse in ST than AOE

#

The only time you do iirc is on Council

#

There's a specific council parsing build that picks it up, iirc

brittle owl
#

well yeah, cleave raid fight with a burst aoe window

#

big dick revenj

pallid quiver
#

But you get less revenge casts out

#

It's less rage efficient

brittle owl
#

as long as they die when you run out

pallid quiver
#

So there's less damage per rage

brittle owl
#

is gucci

#

and optimal

pallid quiver
#

I mean

#

Last I checked most top raid parses don't use it, so

brittle owl
#

raid parsing is degenerate, gotta degen when you can

hardy snow
# pallid quiver But you get less revenge casts out

If you're able to generate enough rage to cover higher expense, you dont get less casts.
If in said period of time you are able to cast 50 revenges for example, but you generate enough rage to have enough for 50 BT revenges, then it doesnt affects your dps output in negative way at all. Only difference is that you will have less rage to dump into IP.
Thats why its used on council fight, as we generate more rage there due to bloodsurge.

It feels like telling someone to play without a defensive cooldown is the thing. Or having one on permanently. It's probably fine for pugging, but if you're aiming to get better, it's important to learn where damage actually happens, which satying in D Stance all the time won't really help key you in on, since it's like a permanently active defensive CD

#

but if they're clearing content and having fun then they do them, i don't actually care that much unless they spread misinfo

limpid anchor
#

I just think that training wheels hurt the progress

orchid gulch
#

I'm not saying not to tell them to play without DStance, but let them learn the basics first

pallid quiver
#

To me, other than your basic rotation, managing your defensive CDs is the basics of tanking, hence why I don't personally recommend it. It's a universal thing for tanking in all MMOs for all classes to make sure you properly mitigate damage using your strong time limited abilities

potent gulch
pallid quiver
#

hence why i don't recommend it since your damage is decently important, though not as important as the DPS' (unless they trash)

potent gulch
#

or what?

There was a bug with the top performing stones iirc

Battle Stance as Tank? Do I read right?

pallid quiver

In all content, yeah

#

We're never in danger of constantly dying, so we default to Battle

#

You use Defensive Stance like a Defensive cooldown

strong forum

cuz it relies on belt and both rings to proc humming

I mean, I tell everyone to practice new classes/spec rotations on a training dummy until it's muscle memory

potent gulch
#

what about Furbolg Totem Trinket?

#

i saw some crazy parses in logs

pallid quiver
#

if you practice/learn it during stress you build mistakes into your muscle memory

strong forum
#

thats some dumbass cheesing

potent gulch
#

with it on BRM

pallid quiver

It's the same exact way I handle every class/spec, and I still swing by the training dummy at least once a week to make sure I'm still consistent with what I want

orchid gulch
orchid gulch
pallid quiver
#

The base rotation does not change no matter how much damage you are taking or how much stress you're in

#

It doesn't matter if it's zero damage, doesn't matter if you're taking 50% of your max HP per second'

orchid gulch
#

No, but estimating how much damage you'll take and how to react to a situation

#

The dummy is predictable

pallid quiver
#

yeah, that's why you get the rotation and then learn how to use your defensives

#

you get slapped, think "I should've had shield wall"

#

New ring?

orchid gulch
#

That's exactly my point, if you're still unsure, stick to DStance, and once you got some practise, switch to Bstance

pallid quiver
#

but like

you're already using the defensive at all times then

#

You don't become any more defensive when learning or anything

#

You're just straight not learning to stance swap

#

Doing it that way is harder because you don't know how much you need to do to live

#

ya gotta die at some point

potent gulch
orchid gulch
#

Yeah, and some people struggle with SB uptime, getting slapped at every corner is still not that fun for most people

@warm plinth @strong forum i must be a very bad player or with bad rotation, cos with the new 424 ring my dps is much improved. i think u are correct the 424 ring does not require rotational accuracy. i am using the humming+prophetic+desirous combo

Yeah it was a ranged setup. could probably do more with Melee classes.

most of 20's i just run Battle STance

Also it’s funny Smbg is so easy I only very recently learned corpse breath is a frontal and you can reduce party damage by facing worm to one side and stacking party on the other

Never needed to optimize on that level previously. Less healing = more healer dps tho

did you log out

or had any kind of interruption

#

did you leave the key and come back

sick sentinel
#

"The auto attack damage and the shield are separate buff effects, but the effect cannot be re-triggered while the auto-attack buff is active. However, you don't have to stand still for three whole seconds in order to trigger the buff. Standing still while in combat seems to start a 3s timer after which the effect activates, but it is not broken by movement. If you enter combat and continuously move, this effect will not trigger. But if you enter combat while moving, stop for half a second and keep moving, the buff will trigger 3s after you stopped moving. Seems broken, but no guides are recommending this stone at the moment anyway."

@sick sentinel hi mate I installed loggerhead do I need to do anything in settings etc?

make sure advanced combat logging is enabled under game network settings

and when you zone into a dungeon, it will ask you, "do you want to log this dungeon"

so, you then hit yes

I use the warcraft logs upload program

you cannot make a log without that network setting for some stupid reason

Advanced combat logging can cause performance issues, be aware of that

yes, after you sign out of the game, it will have a log file that is WCLU compatible

After you enable it, if you end up having weird performance problems turn it back off. Advanced logging can be cpu intensive

@sick sentinel thanks mate 👍

So I wonder what would be more worthwhile, the frost shield that refreshes every 20 seconds but very possibly pops your obsidian stone in-between pulls, or the iron stone that basically guarantees you getting that initial proc off, and possibly more when things live long enough?

and so i can afford to have all these addons and shit running

same speeds as my 3700x, but less cores and a lower tempurature

the one i want to remove i think its idominitable

i see the problem is there is only dps as a measure.
having alternative combos with other non-dps utility would make sense. i was thinking for example of a "kiting" combo, ie a ring which slows/freezes mobs and increases ur speed to run away

Ring literally bumps healers an insane amount

7k doesnt sound too hot

Better to do more ST, you reckon, Nomer?

Hey all, so what primals really work? or better stay with 418/421 rings and forget about it?

strong forum
#

yes

#

prio dmg is more important

#

than pad

dusky canopy
#

In most cases ST is more value yes

strong forum
#

and storm is pad

on dummies, the storm proc would sometimes hit the pvp dummy 40yd away

In most cases bosses are what kills you not trash mobs even on fort weeks

a +20 is just too much stress for me to do i think

tropic gorge
#

The ring thinks it's too easy, so it helps out by pulling more

im 40yd away from the dummy

i see someone in that list by name of angry hunter, and it seems to me that the angriest of all players are DH and mages

#

DH prented to be angry

nocturne spindle
#

Shiettt time to get rid of my storm one then

sick sentinel
#

mages really are angry

#

this kinda sucks i was unlucky and only got one of the 3 stones

#

i wannahave fun and try this shit out

slim dove
#

even humming/blood/prohpetic pulled shit for me

sick sentinel
#

hunters tend to be chill from my experiences

slim dove
#

the blood stone is wonky as fuck

sick sentinel
#

some druids are angry

slim dove
#

orange class cant be angry this expac tbh

#

3/4 specs are insane

#

boomie just needs until next expac to setup dps keks

#

but of all the people that i have seen go completel monkey brain rage spasm and it wasn't me, is usually a mage

reef holly
#

I've only had one angry person in one of my pugs: a fellow warrior... sadga

sick sentinel
#

i remember in i think upper karazhan that happened once and happened at least once in DF keys

#

some mage angry af

#

how has that only happened twice

#

ohh one was the horn of valor,

#

this mage wanted horn of valor, talking about it all dungeon said he rand it like, 70 times or 17 times, and i showed him my 411 one with avoidance and end and he lost his mind

tropic gorge
#

Druids can stay angry

#

I'm of the opinion that druid has been way over powered for quite some time. Not dk level of op, but up there

dusky canopy
#

When you go into pugs and out dps them as they tank they tend to keep there opinions to themselves

tropic gorge
#

Started In wrath, and didn't end until recently. Druids have consistently been a top tier class xpack after xpack

#

Finally got a whetstone and it has speed wicked

tropic gorge
#

It's similar to how fire mages went full revolt at the start of df. They finally weren't the top mage spec and bam, the class emptied out

dusky canopy
#

I thinks it’s because frost and arcane are on the extreme ends of one being incredibly boring pressing 2 buttons and the other has no damage at all if you can’t setup your cds properly

#

Fire is in between

Gotta throw on that hov trinket with speed and just kite the whole dungeon

@old sinew lmfao

this man has run too many m+

#

i want fucking speed

#

im jelly

versed sleet

If I am using a crafted weapon, is there a significant difference between the Primal Molten Longsword and the Primal Molten Mace? I see that both have the same attack speed and dps, just that the mace has a higher min/lower max damage. Wouldn't the overall damage average out since the weapon dps is the same?

dusky canopy

Speed is a great 3rd stat

Is what I was getting at

Any thoughts on using engineering bracers with a tinker?

dusky canopy
#

You could it doesn’t use a embellishment

#

Slap some haste on it and go to town

sick sentinel
#

there is no good tinker besides brez basically

#

depends on your alternatives

sick sentinel
#

but the ring at a high ilvl+belt

#

uis good

versed sleet
dusky canopy
#

That’s my next craft if I can ever get a spark

sick sentinel
#

my next craft from spark is to be a haste potion trinket

versed sleet
#

speaking of sparks, do you have to be 70 to get extras to drop on alts or is it pure rng?

old sinew
sick sentinel
#

i have everytyhing i wanted, but i need to greater infusions

#

im thinking cuz blaze hoof and totem my 2 currents wont be in season 2

tropic gorge
#

I need to upgrade my 1h sword with my next spark

sick sentinel
#

so i'll want new ones, and i wouldn't mind a stat stick for haste

tropic gorge
#

Or my shield, depending on what m+ gives me

sick sentinel
#

thats how im arriving at this desicion

hardy snow
#

Im not sure if we will be able to recraft old items to new ilvls in S2

sick sentinel
#

whet stone at ilvl 500, omegalul

#

just imagine it

old sinew
#

You will need Shadowflame sparks but you will be able to recraft

sick sentinel
#

thats kind of cool

#

alot of combos will open up in future seasons

jagged pier
#

no

old sinew
# sick sentinel just imagine it

I wish. I actually don’t know shit about s2 trinkets other than splinterbark being insane defensively and irideus fragment good for dps

jagged pier
#

they dont want u to wear it next season

hardy snow
sick sentinel
#

yeah, i think they are auto-updating all 418 items to be 421 or 421 possible

#

crafted that is

old sinew
#

Doubt

hardy snow
#

at least, they want it to be at this level of strength keks
