look, its fine if u want to doubt me, im jus aying what i heard lol

strong forum
#

they also want everybody to use it now

old sinew
#

I think that’s just a bug related to them making s2 crafts 447 / 421 eq

strong forum
#

but only tanks healer and rogues wear them

sick sentinel
#

to use what

strong forum
#

so if they want everybody to use em

#

ring

#

they need to buff the rings a substantial amount

old sinew
#

Add secondary stat to ring and nerf gems slightly

strong forum
#

which will be ridiculous for tanks and healers

sick sentinel
#

my point still fuckin stands

hardy snow
#

insteads of recent 25% buff, they should just add secondaries to annulet, and maybe tune little bit down powers of gems

tropic tangle
#

just add secondary stats

hardy snow
#

then everyone would use it

tropic tangle
#

if you want it to be BiS, let it be BiS easily

velvet current
#

Keep 25% buff, add secondoaries

#

Boooom.

sick sentinel
#

give the ring ilvl x1.5 worth of stat in 1 secondary

tropic gorge
#

The ring is pretty strong. Most of my guild has it, and whole rng hasn't allowed everyone to min/max combos, our raid dps last night was nuts. Highest we have had

tropic tangle
#

then disable the stones in 10.1

sick sentinel
#

so its like, 600 haste or 600 mastery or something

tropic tangle
#

or some shit

old sinew
sick sentinel
#

im saying X1.5 (stat value worth) cuz if its 2 stats at 100% thats compltely overpowered as balls, if its 50% people would complain its nerfed even though thats probably more fair

#

if its 2 stats 100% of normal ilvl + 3sockets, we will never unequipp the ring

#

nobody ever

old sinew
#

600 secondary is around 50% of a normal ring (minus the fact you can’t socket 100 secondary gem).

#

You get 1300 stat from 421 socketed ring

sick sentinel
#

back in my day

#

how we handled this problem, for rogues at least, was everything was broken down into "Agility Equivalance Points" AEP

#

thats first time i ever learned about or did simming "spreadsheets" as it was called back then

strong forum
#

back when i started i didnt even know what dps was

sick sentinel
#

back when i start i got kicked out of raids for being 12 in bent

#

vent

strong forum
#

ah childhood

sick sentinel
#

i got kicked out of molten core after going as prot paladin taking bracers and judging some boss with judgement or light so everyone would get healed

#

thats my 2004 story

tropic gorge
#

In the mc days we had a druid that wanted to bear tank. Before it was really even a thing. Poor dude was mocked hard and gquit

sick sentinel
#

my account got hacked and i got in fight with friend, and then i made a rogue instead

tropic gorge
#

Started his own guild, and learned the hard way thst druids weren't actually tanks yet

old sinew
icy bane
#

My younger sister would join my guilds vent when she was like 12 years old and those dudes were way to comfortable talking to her, looking back now yeah probably shouldn’t have let her on vent

sick sentinel
#

well

#

they kicked me out

#

they didnt let me stay lol

sick sentinel
#

then finally my brother got a group to let me do once mc with them

#

funny thing im on classic right now

#

leveling a mage on whiteman since retail is down

#

servers actually pretty populated

#

#

I’ve never understood the “younger = total idiot” meme. How did you guys beat Ruby weapon if you didn’t understand character optimization at all?

strong forum
#

i fully understand it

sick sentinel
#

well i was actually good

#

You're either gigachad or your wojak, life is simple 🙂

strong forum
#

youre a fucking idiot when youre a kid

sick sentinel
#

they just didnt let me stay cause my age

#

idk

strong forum
#

i still am

sick sentinel
#

no, you still don't realize how big of idiot we all are nomer and i don't mean that in hurtful way

#

just wait till you are older and it make sense some day

#

water temple is harder than mc

#

anmwyays

prime sphinx
#

Just a quick couple runs SBG20 with each setup first run with humming then 2nd with storm

old sinew
#

Ff7 came out in like 1998 or something. I remember sitting around min-maxing material and splitting materia after farming jp over and over. Then again I member thst my older brother didn’t understand that ultimate weapons gimped your jp growth

#

Some ppl just didn’t pay attention to game stuff

tropic gorge
#

Had to use ragnarok on cloud for the double modifier for materia

sick sentinel
#

gacial fury does that much dps

#

i should start trying it

distant crystal
#

i remember my friends little bro being glued to the TV playing FF7 every time I came over

sick sentinel
#

i always use str/vers ones dpeending

tropic gorge
#

I grinded the Stat boost items in the submarine, and maxed out mime and knights of the round then shit wrecked ruby weapon lol

sick sentinel
#

ui neverr played it. i played the zelda games though. and the water temple is one of my bis gaming experiences

prime sphinx
#

i only use it in lower target dungs but eye might still be more 🤷‍♂️

sick sentinel
#

i also got in a fight with my brother once and deleted his save file that was right before ganondorf

tropic tangle
sick sentinel
#

and he beat me up lmfao

strong forum
#

cuz its not prio dmg

#

just random pad

prime sphinx
#

yeah just gonna stick with hummer

tropic gorge
strong forum
#

but you got alot unluckier with procs in first run

sick sentinel
#

i remember learning to min max game play as early as wolfenstien 3d, i didn't know the guys you were shooting were nazis, but what i did learn from that is, like, how to be efficent with guns not waste every bullet, or how to lure enemies and not to over cap on weapons picking up ammo in later games like doom and quake and duke nukem

prime sphinx
#

I think cos 30% crit storm procced the blood more

sick sentinel
#

some of the guns would have a cap of 100 bullets and then you pick up 20 at a time

strong forum
#

storm would need to do significantly more dmg than humming to outperform efficiency wise

sick sentinel
#

and then so you misuse picking up all the ammo, run out and you die cuz you screwed your self, caught on to that fast as kid

strong forum
#

but 70k in smbg is pretty good

Hi all, I'm trying to find a weak aura that I see streamers use around upcoming things to look out for in M+. Things like frontals or Dark Claw in TJS, etc. It's usually an icon of the ability with the countdown on it. Any suggestions on where I can find this?

strong forum
#

altho, wft is a free 2k+ dps gain

this?

only good at melee range, not gud vs barons of hell in doom 1/2

Hell knights would get stunned by the chainsaw enough that they'd only melee once or twice

heavy temple

I did a sim for all combos ( there was an advanced sim script on reddit), and I got a 3% better ST result than in the pins

sick sentinel
#

chaingun is actually the best weapon in game for stun lock

old sinew
# prime sphinx

6800 dps with storm? I haven’t seen it perform that low. Did you chain mobs into worms to have storm gem cleave?

tropic gorge
heavy temple
#

Maybe I overlooked something, but I felt like sharing it here.

tropic gorge
#

When someone gets the quad, everyone is hunting him

sick sentinel

uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

my problem with plasma gun is why use plasma if u could just use bfg instead

uneven mason
tropic gorge
sick sentinel
#

plasma gun is too precious ammo and its too much aggro for most scenarios

old sinew
#

Then again 200 dps variance from my lowest run is maybe not that strange. I only did 4 runs

tropic gorge
#

Maybe rocket arena was similar to q3

sick sentinel
#

just switch to something ammo saving imo

tropic gorge
#

The q3 rocket area mod was glorious fun

#

But, quake champions is all we have left of the glory days of quake.
Maybe a q1 remake/update would revive it

I never played the q2 mod

TFC 🤤

tropic gorge

No not the new tf

The original mod for half life 1

uneven mason

Because it was a rip from the Q2 mod

Literally the one with HL was tfc

never sim weekly build, it shouldnt even be an option

always nightly

does anyone have suggestions for getting these rings this week if vault is done?

tropic gorge
#

The belt would be better

sick sentinel
#

i dont wanan spend all my fragments to upgrade to have bad rng and not get them

old sinew
#

I don’t raid so I don’t have eranog and because I don’t have eranog I never bothered recrafting embellishments

#

So no belt

tropic gorge
#

You can get what you need for the ff belt from world mobs

#

I think

strong forum
#

like, your sim looks exactly like a sim without the good combo

tropic gorge
#

You just need the egineer gun and a prison for the soul

heavy temple
strong forum
#

yeah youre fucking something up 100%

heavy temple
#

okay

#

Ill try to figure it out

old sinew
#

It’s less “I can’t get the belt” and more that it was never really worth pursuing. Frostfire never activated anything for me previously

strong forum

sim the combo specifically

#

like i did

wary spire

frozen or sophic?

frozen for dmg, sophic for general use/tanky

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?

tropic gorge
#

Lol

old sinew
#

I guess I wonder if I craft frostfire belt will the proc rate of the gem be high enough to compete with storming gem with no eranog?

strong forum
#

dont think about that button outside of debuff cleanse

tropic gorge
#

I ask because I do on things I know push my shit in with physical dmg

#

I also like using it when hero/lust goes out if I don't actually need it. Lust + avatar + stone form = boss size dwarf

strong forum
#

if you know you wont need to cleanse a debuff in the next 2 minutes

#

then stoneform is free mitigation, sure

tropic gorge
#

Correct

old sinew
#

Storming gem procs off crit which is way easier for p war to proc than magic dam. May be a case of humming is theoretically better but I don’t have the gear to play it

you still wasted like 8% of rage which is a bit spicy, should be <1%

# uneven mason Wat

because everybody shat on pwar for months and months for being overpowered and hits its unfair

Yeah I have that sense too and I try to be as objective as possible because I hate victim mentality

uneven mason

But let's ignore bdk literally soloing+20s

strong forum
#

the thing is

#

right

#

they had MASSIVE NOVELTY

#

from never playing pwar

#

to then suddenly playing a tank that doesnt lose hp

#

(which was always the case btw)

#

thats why it seemed so much better than it is

slim dove
#

it also stems from prot war being so forgiving.

strong forum
#

cuz people didnt know that pwars HP isnt supposed to drop

slim dove

And IP while druid has to pop a major CD each cast

sick sentinel
#

you had this option checked and hit "yes i want to log XYZ dungeon" when you went in?

tropic gorge
#

For druid vs war

sick sentinel
#

i think that you might have to restart the game after hitting advance combat log but unsure

uneven mason
#

Druids tbh have a good kit, it's frequency of availability that's pinching them

uncut helm
#

You can also reflect for the spell reduction, which is excessive but warrior basically removes the entire beam easily

uneven mason
#

Their CDs are stupidly long

#

And recovery from mistakes is almost impossible

Because FR is hot garbage compared to other tanks recovery

sick sentinel
#

@high basalt

#

see at the top there, first time you enter a new dungeon the addon doesn't recognize, it will ask you this

#

after you hit enable, it will remember your selection for that dungeon until the addon is re-installed or broken

uneven mason
#

Also in general it's very obvious that they have no one who actually understands the niche a guardian should fill in that team

My disc buddies 20sbg with humming combo

high basalt
#

@sick sentinel yes mate done all that and after when I click view report in log uploader it says unknown zone where usually there’s a log?

uneven mason
#

Their mastery is reliant on someone else to take advantage of because their self healing is non existent

its humming, desorius and what more?

So with everyone running humming I bet io is going to get inflated a bit

storm infused stone should do more overall dps than humming yea

strong forum

in theory

but youre forgetting bosses exist

where storm does horrible

and storm caps out at 3 targets

if you dont hit 3 targets consistently, itll do less dmg than humming

so humming is just better

also prio dmg better

do you need the crafted belt(frostfire belt) to for humming to be good?

more bugs okayge

sick sentinel

them poof there he was

#

just wanted to make sure i wasnt doing anything wrong

timber wasp
#

Guys Im really confused by the pins - what are our best m+ stones?

sick sentinel
#

humming

#

prohetic

#

desirious

#

in basically all situations...if i read it write

timber wasp
#

Ah ty

frigid coral
#

Do we know yet if that interaction is intended or bugged?

sand drum
#

feels bit "meh" wowhead says 1 "combo" that is recommended and here we just run same combo nomatter what :p

timber wasp
#

Id 1000000000% rather have the same combo for eveyrthing

#

Imagine having to switch between content

#

ew

strong forum
#

The wowhead prio list is written as if the stone combo isn't fixed

#

But it mentions at the 7th spot, (this is a gamble)

#

For the current "bug" combo

#

It's an educated guess for it to be a bug because it outperforms everything else heavily

timber wasp
#

Are there any gems we can just destroy?

twin bramble
#

Bugged as in its op broken? Or bugged as in it sucks and will be good if ever fixed?

strong forum
#

OP

strong forum
twin bramble
#

So use the one in the pin now, and if they ever fix it, switch to the ones shown on wowhead?

timber wasp
#

Is there any reasons to keep the others like.. is there an increased chance youll get one of the good ones if you have the others in the family?

ionic roost
#

I wouldn't say it's a Bug, but it's a massive oversight, like the interaction follows the tooltip text to the letter

twin bramble
#

I may gamble and just assume they don’t change it 😂

strong forum
#

Feels unintended that the gem can proc the healing reaction from prophetic

#

Cuz as a result, it'll always proc dmg

#

Cuz desirous does both

old sinew
#

I hope they make other synergies better. I’d love to see the tank absorb build actually playable. It’s supposed to be a 424 ring it shouldn’t do 2000 dps with the double absorb + absorbs deal damage layout imo. Same with other layouts.

ionic roost
#

That's why it's an oversight not a bug, when they make a stone that's Both a Healing and Damage effect

#

If desirous gave an absorb and not a heal, I'd expect it to trigger the Shining Obsidian stone

dusky canopy
#

Can the tertiary gems stack

old sinew
#

?

dusky canopy
#

Multiple people useing the gem

old sinew
#

I don’t think so

#

But like… why? Isn’t that dog-butt?

dusky canopy
#

Imagine 1000 leech + avoidance

#

If it stacked

#

At base item level isn’t it like 380 tertiary stats

old sinew
#

Isn’t it just the first 5 seconds of combat?

dusky canopy
#

Ohh..

#

Ye that’s ass then

#

I thought it was in combat

#

Not just the first 5 seconds

old sinew
#

It buffs anyone though. I get this buff sometimes randomly on the new island from casual Andies

dusky canopy
#

Yeah I was just suggesting the idea of it maybe being pretty good in keys if it stacked and was active while in combat

#

But first 5 seconds and not stacking is weak ye

old sinew
#

It’s 8 seconds after double checking but close enough

dusky canopy
#

Oh well more fragments ratJAMMIN

old sinew
#

Yeah if it was always active in combat it would be okay. Pretty sure it just exists to be a poison pill for the “proc random gems” gem

#

Same with the one that gives you speed

dusky canopy
#

Makes sense

Totem better then Torch?

knotty vortex
#

are we changing rings or no to that new combo

dusky canopy
#

For now yes

old sinew
#

The ring is good yes

dusky canopy
# wintry flax Totem better then Torch?

Both good totem is definitely bis in keys especially a mythic ilvl one, torch is good but you don’t block while channeling it so make sure you’re in wall or something or cast on pull

wintry flax

Ty, i passed up Heroic totem a while back basing my judgement on WoW head. didnt realize totem was good

Can someone tell me if I should craft a 418 lariat or 418 weapon? I currently have 405 lariat and 411 weapon

What's the other option to Humming if we dont have eranog ring?

Whats the alternative to humming if you dont have eranog ring

dusky canopy
#

Nom is basically trying to say that without belt and ring the humming doesn’t proc as much as what their sims are showing you in the pins.
So you should sim the ring for yourself with the gems and see if it beats your other rings

#

Does that help?

fresh igloo
# dusky canopy Does that help?

i think their question is, if humming needs magic damage to work off of, is there another stone to slot in there if you don't have all those sources of magic damage

#

like echoing or ...

#

something

#

i can't recall teh name

timber wasp
fresh igloo
#

flame likced stone maybe, or the storm one?

timber wasp
#

Alright ty, I’ll try those

fresh igloo
#

I'm just guessing here

dusky canopy
#

Ahh yeah alright that makes sense

strong forum
#

Just sim other combos all the dmg gems

#

Fire is good, freezing is good, storm is good

#

And with the crit buff we could see a shift

#

Which is just dandy now that I used 80 fragements to upgrade other stones

old sinew
#

When do sims update with this hot fix? I’d like to know if flame licked is good enough to use in replacement when I don’t have enough sources of magic dam

dusky canopy
#

Maybe that’s good

timber wasp
#

How do you even get the upgrade things? I’ve done lots of keys but haven’t got anything to upgrade the stones yet

dusky canopy
#

Hard to say you have to sim like nom said

dusky canopy
timber wasp
#

Oh rip I’ve been using the fragments to get new stones

dusky canopy
#

It’s 10 per upgrade each stone requires 2 upgrades to hit max

strong forum
#

for now ill slap dummy

dusky canopy
#

So 6 upgrades total for max ilvl ring

strong forum
#

its already in sims

#

you can sim em

timber wasp

Do I need anything else tho other than 10?

Or re do the rares since they’re reset

Can I go on my alt, get the 6 keys and then trade them to my main

strong forum

keys are useless for me

my vault is finished

Oh duh you said you opened the whole vault

I guess you have to wait for rares to drop fragments and hope for the best?

What does opening the whole vault give you?

gems?

to scrap?

Ah okay

pastel atlas
#

they just released some hotfixes and didnt fix that, what do u think they are waiting on

old sinew
#

If Blizzard saw this interaction and reduced the blood proc rate, that’s them acknowledging the existence of this combo and saying they’re fine with it existing but that they want to bring the power down slightly

#

🤷‍♂️

astral crystal

#

So right now the double proc still works yeah?

velvet current
#

You might be right, but let's not make assumptions based off of PTR.

velvet current

Just reduced a bit.
