they also want everybody to use it now
I think that’s just a bug related to them making s2 crafts 447 / 421 eq
but only tanks healer and rogues wear them
to use what
so if they want everybody to use em
ring
they need to buff the rings a substantial amount
Add secondary stat to ring and nerf gems slightly
which will be ridiculous for tanks and healers
my point still fuckin stands
insteads of recent 25% buff, they should just add secondaries to annulet, and maybe tune little bit down powers of gems
just add secondary stats
then everyone would use it
Exactly
if you want it to be BiS, let it be BiS easily
give the ring ilvl x1.5 worth of stat in 1 secondary
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
then disable the stones in 10.1
so its like, 600 haste or 600 mastery or something
or some shit
Versa. Both for flavor/ lore and also so people aren’t saccing EHP from avoidance rings for more dps
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
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
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
ah childhood
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
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
my account got hacked and i got in fight with friend, and then i made a rogue instead
Started his own guild, and learned the hard way thst druids weren't actually tanks yet
Using up a debuff slot 😡😡😡
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
how the fuck didn't i know in 2004...... what an idiot.........
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
people everywhere

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?
i fully understand it
youre a fucking idiot when youre a kid
i still am
Ff7 ruby weapon was hard
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
Just a quick couple runs SBG20 with each setup first run with humming then 2nd with storm
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
Had to use ragnarok on cloud for the double modifier for materia
i remember my friends little bro being glued to the TV playing FF7 every time I came over
i always use str/vers ones dpeending
I grinded the Stat boost items in the submarine, and maxed out mime and knights of the round then shit wrecked ruby weapon lol
ui neverr played it. i played the zelda games though. and the water temple is one of my bis gaming experiences
i only use it in lower target dungs but eye might still be more 🤷♂️
Eww. Breeding gold chocobo.
i also got in a fight with my brother once and deleted his save file that was right before ganondorf
retail is up, fyi
and he beat me up lmfao
yeah storm doesnt seem worth it at all then
cuz its not prio dmg
just random pad
yeah just gonna stick with hummer
I ended up going to Walmart and writing down the breeding guide from a prima strategy guide lmao. Went home and had a gold one
but you got alot unluckier with procs in first run
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
I think cos 30% crit storm procced the blood more
some of the guns would have a cap of 100 bullets and then you pick up 20 at a time
storm would need to do significantly more dmg than humming to outperform efficiency wise
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
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?
altho, wft is a free 2k+ dps gain
this?
Make good use of that chainsaw my friend
only good at melee range, not gud vs barons of hell in doom 1/2
violence doesn't solve issues, but it does make you feel better after your brother deletes your game save.
You can do it, but for sure plasma rifle is bis there
why would i want chainsaw tho when i could just have https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sHeuZ-m1tek
Hell knights would get stunned by the chainsaw enough that they'd only melee once or twice
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
chaingun is actually the best weapon in game for stun lock
6800 dps with storm? I haven’t seen it perform that low. Did you chain mobs into worms to have storm gem cleave?
This is the king of fps games.
Maybe I overlooked something, but I felt like sharing it here.
When someone gets the quad, everyone is hunting him
works on almost all enemies to create a no dmg stun lock single target combat
I mean, it's literally just a high res version of quake 2 modded gameplay, and quake 2 had waaaay more variety
my problem with plasma gun is why use plasma if u could just use bfg instead
Because bfg in one target was inefficient
Negative sir. Q3 was a total departure from the death match of q2
plasma gun is too precious ammo and its too much aggro for most scenarios
Then again 200 dps variance from my lowest run is maybe not that strange. I only did 4 runs
Maybe rocket arena was similar to q3
just switch to something ammo saving imo
Mods ..
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
Telefrag, tell a friend
Yeah. Well I will chalk up my gameplay with thunder to doing science for the greater good 😆
you need to sim nightly build
not weekly
Q2 gave us team fortress, the basis for all team shooters
Ah, okay, thanks for the clarification
Half life is my first experience with tf
q3 plasma gun best normal weapon in tha game
I never played the q2 mod
That's why it was called team fortress classic
TFC 🤤
Rocket arena is my favorite thing ever to come out of quake tho
Quake champions has a rocket area mode
ive been trying to play through fear 2 recently, but the shot gun sucks dick
Knife
nightly didnt change much: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6mEcFKj5u5tLhAgDLa7zcX
thats my current setup
It's more on the screen, not on plates. I've got this opne arleady 🙂
Are you running frostfire and eranog? If my only current source of magic damage is blazebinder and glacial fury will this perform well for me?
I don't think it will with blaze binder because of its long cd
you dont have the combo at all in there
does anyone have suggestions for getting these rings this week if vault is done?
The belt would be better
i dont wanan spend all my fragments to upgrade to have bad rng and not get them
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
like, your sim looks exactly like a sim without the good combo
You just need the egineer gun and a prison for the soul
the combo is in my base profile at least, since I am wearing it currently
yeah youre fucking something up 100%
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
frozen or sophic?
ye frostfire+eranog
frozen for dmg, sophic for general use/tanky
Ooo I didn't know you were a dwarf
Oh ya I guess frozen is magic damage too
okay thank you
Nom do you ever use stone form for its Dr component?
no
Any reason why not? I'm genuinely curious
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Dpd62gMWh7R3Qwaq/
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?
Lol
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?
dont think about that button outside of debuff cleanse
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
if you know you wont need to cleanse a debuff in the next 2 minutes
then stoneform is free mitigation, sure
Correct
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
very likely
i have every magic proc imaginable for it
frozen, belt, ring, trinket
opener looks good, blocked hits are a bit iffy, could be higher, cpm could also be a bit higher
@sick sentinel hi mate just done a key and it didn’t record even with loggerhead? Do I need to enable chat logging?
Where’s all the outrage about prot pal being overpowered. Haven’t heard a single twitcher or YouTuber say anything
Wat
How do I find blocked hits?
you still wasted like 8% of rage which is a bit spicy, should be <1%
because everybody shat on pwar for months and months for being overpowered and hits its unfair
I mean, it's pretty well accepted that warrior is the only class that makes people upset when it does well
Yeah we literally were shit on since beta
and i can answer it easily
It somehow bugged out, when I already had one onyx ring equipped. Eq. two normal rings fixed the issue.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/183AsCvtNmXATxwtHiR7zg
Thank you
people like to hate on pwar
This is the sad truth
I don't understand the warrior hate tbh
Oh like this is par for the course, literally BFA season 2 when we stopped getting killed by rocks and could still do 50% of the groups damage
Yeah I have that sense too and I try to be as objective as possible because I hate victim mentality
But let's ignore bdk literally soloing+20s
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
it also stems from prot war being so forgiving.
cuz people didnt know that pwars HP isnt supposed to drop
a bad blood dk literally flops
when every other tank loses hp exceedingly frequently
a bad prot war is still a god in rat keys
because of design
Even bfa. S1 with IP on the GCD, played well we could mitigate north of 80%
Same with bad monks
a bad EVERY other tank
The bdk bias is wild to me and when you bring it up everyone loses their mind
i notice it on rdruid all the time
pwars are gods even with 40% sb uptime
(in shit rat 16s)
people like that bdk is entirely self reliant
and grips
We're god's right up until something ignores armor
yup
Yah but I have to say bdk have this weird self delusion almost and have trouble being objective
Bdk is a whole group in one player lol
then we fall off hard
wouldnt bear get messed up more though
Which is one thing this xpac
if something pierces armor
Df has a lot more physical damage
kinda yes and kinda no
Than sl
Df being so much physical dmg is great
How do I find blocked hits on the log?
Unless you just unbind DS as a blood dk in 16s, I do not know how you manage to die
bear has passive DR and more ways to heal back up
dmg taken -> melee -> hover over hits column
They have higher base non physical mit than warrior, and more HP and bonus healing
do NOT hover over damage
yeah warriors are probably the worst tank at dealing with bleeds
yes
my "casual mythic" guilds bdk just found out yesterday IBF had a damage reduction effect on it
hes 2880 and hes 4/8
pwar is better than bear
Worst but we have the most balanced kit for all situations
because of melees
Isn'T that confirmation that bdk is easy to play?
how do pwars mitigate p3 raid hit
lmao true
SW/Spellblock
I'd rather have high block uptime than rely on rng dodge personally
And IP while druid has to pop a major CD each cast
you had this option checked and hit "yes i want to log XYZ dungeon" when you went in?
For druid vs war
i think that you might have to restart the game after hitting advance combat log but unsure
Druids tbh have a good kit, it's frequency of availability that's pinching them
You can also reflect for the spell reduction, which is excessive but warrior basically removes the entire beam easily
Their CDs are stupidly long
And recovery from mistakes is almost impossible
Because FR is hot garbage compared to other tanks recovery
@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
Also in general it's very obvious that they have no one who actually understands the niche a guardian should fill in that team
@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?
Their mastery is reliant on someone else to take advantage of because their self healing is non existent
its humming, desorius and what more?
im not sure what issue you are having but it has been working for me for about a year now, i've found it quite handy, sorry if it didn't work for you
Prophetic Twilight Stone which type is that? attempting to buy the proper type from teh vendor 🙂 thanks
NM i think shadow
@sick sentinel no worries mate Ty for your time appreciate it 👍👍
anyone know whats the 3 bis stone for m+?

I don't think I can see it on mobile. The goal is obviously 100% blocked, correct?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/FYVKgX62BxpHWQdt/#fight=last&type=auras&source=4&options=16
Any idea why my numbers in my log are different from the numbers in that log? Same pull
rasza logs are fucked
are they from opposite sides
because 2 groups are too far away from each other
when p1 intermission splits, not everything is in range
u need a log for ither side
the combat log doesnt pick it up over so much distance
Because there is a max distance your logs grab info from
cause it dont reach across
Ahhh. Well that would make sense. The other logger was the other tank XD
just did a run on my lunch break, bit of an underperformance from the ring, or alternatively I just had high variance on the 4 runs I did previously
Howsat rend above SS
ae?
And so little revenge
looks like a bad AA run
Scuffed
These gems don't seem to care about cpm
storm infused stone should do more overall dps than humming yea
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
ah
so humming is just better
also prio dmg better
do you need the crafted belt(frostfire belt) to for humming to be good?
this ring is fucking insane on healers
like worth 10k dps just tab dotting as resto
humming wont perform as well
anyone1 try using storm stone instead of humming?



check like 4 sentences above your question
i love this (and the text that calls it) so damn much lol
constantly getting hit in the head so no one else does certainly can't be good for mental health.

I should grab nitro just to use :the more you know:
Little late to the convo but on mobile if you tilt your phone into landscape mode you can then simply press hits once and then the hover window will appear showing blocked hits
ic
I’ll show one sec
i have a note, so i have a pseudo mouse where i can hover
Yeah for some reason wcl has the cutoff for indepth information at letter viewport because it's easier to do that than write a second onhover modal
me
So I haven't touched the game in like 2 weeks. How long will it take to set up the new ring?
1hr
Oh, that's good to know I need to get it and shake my rust off since I'm probably trialing a new team next week.
if they dont butcher it by then
It’s funny because I thought the rings were suppose to take a couple weeks to grind out
And then we end up doing it in a couple hours lol
I wonder if rares always dropping a key was an oops
reskinned voti torghast woulda been better
I didn't even know tge patch dropped until yesterday when I got contacted about trialing and hopped on the game to start to shake a few weeks of rust off.
smh
Honestly beta torghast is what I want
Infinite floors/powers
That was some cheesy fun to be had
yess please
Highmountain or normal tauren for prot warr guys? gonna race change, help me out
😦
kul tiran belly is bis
Races don't matter
For real though, You’re basically choosing between an aoe stop that’s always DRd or a ST stop that’s always DRd so pick your poison
Play what you like aesthetically
Alright, thanks for the input
Bull rush is also aoe?
The real choice is if you want to pick flowers faster or mine faster
my goal still remains the same, all the heritage armors or bust, some day night elf undead maybe
pick either tauren race - you'll look terrible either way
any chance to target farm a specific gem? just finished my vault and sadly didnt get twilight
Troll needs their heritage armor already
I did all the allied race heritage just can’t be bothered with core races
which ones are MISSING heritage at this point?
What are the stone dmg/absorb values based on? Because the actual shield I get from the cold frost stone is higher than the one in the tooltip
dragons don't count
vendor where u remove the gems
Ne undead pandas
since i assume thats coming in late season 4
wtf is this technology
thanks!
i have a bonus warlock i plan to transfer to allaince
It's a small consideration, but sometimes the HIghmountain charging stun is bad positioning. I've also fatfingered it and fell to my death on Terros and Sennarth
It's fairly new, I think 2014 was the first one
no bonus shamans to send over tho, so i have to lvl that one
Bull rush can literally kill you
Not just falling off
You can get hit in the back by mobs that won't be knocked back
and also maddge cuz i used the races that can be sham and i could get heritage for
so, i HAVE to level, or boost a shaman if i want alliance sham now
It’s a real thing tbh turn your back on some mobs and u dead af
Too risky to run imo especially if climbing m+
Of course it’s real
I’ve been gibbed by just shield charging and exposing my bs k
Shield charge caster in back gibbed by power attack
It rhymes 
Can charge off cliffs too and shit
Yeah high mountains a good time for sure xD
we'll see how much i feel like spending on this sale
maybe
i wouldnt mind swapping to high mountain gotta turn another toon into a goiblin, same for gnome/worgen/human on alliance
I kind of want to change my human female DK to a thicc KT 😏
Right now of the six tanks I have 2 NE, 2 Human, VE and Tauren. Need to mix things up a bit
I've also fat fingered it in AV. It can be clutch for a stun or to create some distance.
the reason i want to do this and collect every transmog
I kind of want to play a Chad Orc but I don’t like their racials for tanks
The boat fight in battle of dazalor....
I'd still prefer dwarf or DiD, but the new tauren tmog has me rethinking a swap
is so that once im finished, i can freely start swapping toons races years later and if its like a mage or something, i have transmog that isn't terrible
Dathea cyclone so you can save leap
Racisls are legit dwarf and not dwarf
NE Meld has gotten value for me
Meld 3rd boss TJS. Meld skips in AV
Was there any shadow meld tech in mdi this season?
I like meld. Also human racial in rat keys to remove stun from thundering 
None of the dungeon has any sort of skips really
You can meld those 2 Drakonids in av
NE fade :
Monk co tank, hm taurens hitting bull charge and taking a swim
Imo Dwarf is still the best for a tank, it just adds to your own ability to live nothing else beats that
No it doesn’t because you cast it when everything’s already on dr
I hatte cowstomp. Its unpredictable stun in more than 5 target groups
id rather meld a jade strike tbh
nah, thats why it's the first thing used in combat
And adds to stun dr
but i havent tanked in like 3 weeks so 🤷
Every groups so far had enough aoe stuns to Cap stun DR while being uncapped aoe stuns
NE is definitely the only contender imo, fair argument
Slaps a melee iirc
dang.
what do we do with the stone fragments?
Cow stomp being target capped is cringe as fuck I hate it
I play Tauren on bear currently and having stun miss because it hit other mobs is just 😱
Cow stomp is great for bear cuz we don’t have mighty bash anymore but that feature is cringe. Also stun Dr if you run with cudgel Shammy
isnt the elementals in sbg first room not suppose to keep teleporting back and forth if you engage the pack?
i just was running a 22 sbg and he teleported after i had rounded up the pack
l;ike 10 seconds after
never seen that and ive basically had to solo that pack as boomie before in a 16
well i had them all rounded up
more bugs 
Guys Im really confused by the pins - what are our best m+ stones?
Ah ty
Do we know yet if that interaction is intended or bugged?
feels bit "meh" wowhead says 1 "combo" that is recommended and here we just run same combo nomatter what :p
Id 1000000000% rather have the same combo for eveyrthing
Imagine having to switch between content
ew
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
Are there any gems we can just destroy?
Bugged as in its op broken? Or bugged as in it sucks and will be good if ever fixed?
OP
All healing/absorb/utility gems that don't do dmg
So use the one in the pin now, and if they ever fix it, switch to the ones shown on wowhead?
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?
Yes
I wouldn't say it's a Bug, but it's a massive oversight, like the interaction follows the tooltip text to the letter
Yes and no, desirous is more dmg gem than a "yeah this is clearly a heal gem"
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
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.
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
Can the tertiary gems stack
?
Multiple people useing the gem
Imagine 1000 leech + avoidance
If it stacked
At base item level isn’t it like 380 tertiary stats
Isn’t it just the first 5 seconds of combat?
Ohh..
Ye that’s ass then
I thought it was in combat
Not just the first 5 seconds
It buffs anyone though. I get this buff sometimes randomly on the new island from casual Andies
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
It’s 8 seconds after double checking but close enough
Oh well more fragments 
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
Makes sense
Totem better then Torch?
are we changing rings or no to that new combo
For now yes
The ring is good yes
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
Ty, i passed up Heroic totem a while back basing my judgement on WoW head. didnt realize totem was good
darn
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?
Yeah that bites heroic totem is better than all the mythic + trinkets so def hunt for another one
Frost fire belt
Thanks Brew

I have frostfire belt, I meant whats the other gem option to sim?
Imo weapon, however you could sim both options at 418 to get an accurate answer for your current gear
Are you asking what 3 gems to use? I’m not fully understanding the question
more primordial stone buffs
Whats the alternative to humming if you dont have eranog ring
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?

Lets goooo
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
Yes but what other gems? I can’t put every single combo in the game in there or it’ll take weeks
flame likced stone maybe, or the storm one?
Alright ty, I’ll try those
I'm just guessing here
Ahh yeah alright that makes sense
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
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
How do you even get the upgrade things? I’ve done lots of keys but haven’t got anything to upgrade the stones yet
Hard to say you have to sim like nom said
JC crafting
You use the fragments in a work order to get the upgrade item
Oh rip I’ve been using the fragments to get new stones
ill ask
It’s 10 per upgrade each stone requires 2 upgrades to hit max
for now ill slap dummy
So 6 upgrades total for max ilvl ring
Do I need anything else tho other than 10?
Nom I assume the damage gems can proc off each other as well?
10 fragments 25 gem dust from auction house
Ty
yes
im currently simming a few good options
Oh yeah so now that they Crit I bet it’ll be pretty potent to just run 3 chance on damage to do damage gems
oh nvm id have to build locally
I dunno if I want eranog ring but I might hunt it anyway
I got such a good ring
Almost 1000 haste from my ring
Yeah I just full sent on 6 stones last night. 😕 guess I have to keep doing the content
what would that achieve
Or re do the rares since they’re reset
but you kill rares for keys
Can I go on my alt, get the 6 keys and then trade them to my main
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?
Ah okay
how else do you get fragments 😄
otherwise you get like 1 or 2 randomly
a gem is 6
I’ve been farming rares
i only have a few left
can farm elemental overflow at the war creche and buy bags of oddities
🧠
There you go someone who knows
yes you can skip
Amazing
Alts skip straight to getting the 6 keys ye
The primal storm mob that happens every few hours gives a gem, after that it's rng off rares and super low so it's wait for Vault next week I guess
How hard is the prot mage tower?
Hey guys. Is there a post somewhere that shows which stones we should be chasing? I tried scrolling back is it flame locked freezing ice and delirious? Wowhead has a list but idk how reliable that is
super easy if you know what to do
I did the 3 in the current op combo, freezing, flame licked, and something else

i mean u probs get enough gems to make atleast 2 full ring setups 424 from 1 vault clear
Thank you
if you get lucky sure
if youre like me, no
I’ve cleared 2 floors so far and I’ve got 6 upgrade items I guess that’s fairly lucky?
I also did all available rares yesterday and all quests
think i got out of vault with 39 fragments
so about the unstable things

how many unstables does it takes to do 3 gems to max
ouf
I also didn’t buy any stones
I just got lucky and got the 3 in the pins right off the bat
and i can just start gems at max with the same items
411 -> 418 -> 424, so 2 for each stone, 6 total
or like, i've seen the work order thing, but im bit confused
ahh
i just don't want to have to spend 1k per RN lol
next week it will be 500 is more acceptable
lots of people do it for 500 too.
people do it for 1g just for their achi progress
everybody and their mom is crafting those rn
Hit up a guldie
cuz its easy money
soo i js started doing the vault thing, what are the gems i am looking for m+? (still the one in the pins?)
Guildie should do it for free
until they nerf/buff again 🙂
which tree is prophetic and desirous from?
Is there anything in this expansion that isnt broken/bugged?
proph is shadow and desi is necro
ok thank you
Anybody else with random ninjas in their dungeons? i'm suspecting the gem rings tbh! Happened twice in a ruby now
But the ninjas seem giga random
do we think sudden death or SoF for razza
we're getting her to p2.5 pretty consistently now
so i might just change to sudden death to hit boss harder
^
so far im super underwhelmed by flamelicked
solid 2k dps loss on st and aoe over humming
what does tbd mean for m+?
to be determined
to be defined
it can crit now lol
ty
this is 5 targets with flamelicked
What order do the adds on Broodkeeper HC spawn in? Only ever tanked the boss before now
yuck
sure its rppm but like
@median tuliplook around the room for the burning pillar thingies
thats where they'll spawn
Raid-or-die gaming
either this was beyond unlucky procs or it just sucks
Yeah, but there's a set order, right?
yes there is a WA for spawn timers
kinda stinks to play around all their tuning w/ investing dormant shards and stuff but w/e its week 1
I’m just going to craft frostfire belt I can’t imagine no eranog gimps the proc rate that much
Yeah that’s how it is salsa just chill for a few days
They always hot fix new stuff like this
And racing to get a log is irrelevant because they just removed all the stone parses
I was hoping for a map, TBH
i got really lucky with my vault so i'm just gonna pump into the busted 3 right now
they removed raids with warlocks in them before a certain upload period
my r5 had to die for it
cuz i uploaded too fast
shout out jeweled signet u were my ride or die since m+ opened ill miss u
Rip 415 melandrus
i've worked full days every day since ring buff, TLDR is Humming + Prophetic + Desirous Stone for ST in raid (razza m specifically)?
My 415 melandrus ring with socket sims better than my 421 without socket 😦
ofc
Well yeah
Socket is huge
everywhere
anyone know what the timer WA is called
jesus
They got buffed just now right?
this is the normal combo
not the stones nom is using
i held off upgrading in case a nerf/rebalance would come today - but think it's pretty safe to pull the trigger on upgrading now
more changes will for sure come though
Thank you :)
From the pins?
yes
do note this as well though @scenic mural
Ty
freezing+flamelicked+storm also did pretty well just now 
4.5-5k on ST and 7k on aoe
desirous + prophetic + flamelicked goes crazy
thats almost humming dps
not from my experience
did only 4k dps
on raidbots it puts both of them in my top 4 DPS abilities
400 w/ the ring
i guess it's not all that good when getting into higher ilevels?
my original set up was indomitable + desirous + flamelicked
but i switched out indomitable for prophetic
prophetic doubles the other gems procrate
i feel like i won't need indomitable with desirous' procrate doubled
plus i already have granyth's enduring scale and that procs decently enough
did they just buff all stones? im seeing different values in tooltips now
they buffed some, making them able to crit
https://www.wowhead.com/news/more-primordial-stone-buffs-in-hotfixes-periodic-effects-can-now-crit-332084#comments
i know, but im seeing like 21850 damage for a 424 desirous for example
yesterday im sure it was about ~18k
i had flask vers up, clicked it off and the tooltip value remained the same
So upgrading Humming, Desirous and Prophetic should be on hold for a bit?
Humming is probably always gonna be the best damage gem?
If they're just buffing damage for all of them
Unless they're really trying to make them all equal
fuuck i hate shit like this, i just wanna upgrade but hate wasting fragments if something gets put in the ground...
Got raid later tonight so might put off upgrading them until right before
no
i'll try it i guess
It's already pinned in a not click bait thumbnail video
indom is ass, at least in comparison to cold frost
I don't understand the defensive value its like 1 ignore pain every 12 seconds?
shining every time my absorb activates, i deal dmg in front of me
cold goes off every 20 seconds and so just gotta see which of the other absorbs it pairs best with
do i care about this new ring? i have heroic diurna ring and a crafted 418
Probably.
Some of the damage stones just got massively buffed.
ahh so i should assume it will be buffed to the point that its bis for just about everyone?
im seeing lots of value increases, specially for healing gems
desi/proph combo is not gonna work anymore
gotta wait for a complete list of buffs
and there'll be some 40%-110% buffs
new combos
oh ppl already posted it here kek
god damn blizzard
the desi/proph combo was so good
but too much fun detected
pretty sure its unchanged?
only desi procrate is lowered right? from blue posts I can find
and only ever so slightly
It's 2.5 to 2.25 proc rate.
quick question cuz I cant test it - can u add socket to the onyx annulet? the one with 6 things from the vault
Desi is going from a 2.5 to 2.25 proc rate.
What is your source?
it's a bug that was present in 10.0.7 PTR, was fixed, then appeared on live again, source is wait for blue post
they just released some hotfixes and didnt fix that, what do u think they are waiting on
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
🤷♂️
⏰
So right now the double proc still works yeah?
You might be right, but let's not make assumptions based off of PTR.
As far as we know, yes. Nothing in the datamines points toward it being fixed.
Just reduced a bit.
Fix would probably be a code change
So you couldn't see it in a hotfix I assume?
Since it wouldn't appear in the dbc files.
The question is why would they nerf this shit gem if they intended to break the combo 🤔🤔🤔
¯_(ツ)_/¯
right on, whats your usual overall for no?
70-80k
fosho, im usually 65-70
Like really tell your secrets
press button
No has some chonky pulls you can do as long as your stops are on point
Which flask/ pot ?
eye in the storm and shocking disclosure
ye for aa/no i usually only exclusively use shocking
Shocking for every pot ? Or just the huge pulls
Aspiring to be like Nom is like trying to reach haste cap, the value exists but it's not logically possible.
not playing glacial fury now with humming?
its bugged, like that for everyone
Display error
GF is mega dmgf lopss
Betting 443 is the cap for next tier
aight, thought since more magic dmg
lel figured it was a weird visual bug
And because it's maxed out it's just displaying that value
armory does not seem super well maintained, frequent display errors
I thought glacial fury was good in TJS
no
vers flask is more dmg than GF
and eye in the storm is more dmg than vers on aoe
Yeah I know the power of eye in the storm in AA, versa outperforming glacial fury is definitely surprising to me though.
does gf do 4% dmg for you=+
guys prophetic in which category it is shadow or necro?
I dunno I’d have to scroll up and look
Oh right I was using eye on that key
Uhh… I don’t know. Is that how much you get from tepid versa? 4%?
Maybe I’ll switch to versa then. I remember early in the patch glacial fury was really good for ST
But gear has improved
And skill
yes
wait how the fuck do you get a 443 ring...
o.o
can you upgrade the stones more than twice?
then the primal stone combo still the same?? or something change??
shadow - i gambled for it yesterday
visual bug
How should my opener be when pulling mobs? I constantly lose threat and aggro transfers to dps, is there a way to prevent that? I normally do charge > thunder clap > revenge but it seems that it sometimes don't do the trick. Any thoughts?
lmao ok. def not playing the same game as y'all otherwise 🤣
dragon if you have it i guess?
usually taht's enough for me tho lol
ravager
we have a lot of aoe shit
i kinda just charge into packs and start rolling my face across the keyboard
You’re looking to blow all of your big stuff. Dragon roar, shield charge, etc
threat's not really an issue
i tested shining + cold frost + gleaming out this is a +2
sometimes it's just on the dps to wait like, an entire second before bursting like crazy. but generally you should be able to open with your CDs. pre-throwing ravager before charging can help, then you demo shout, thunderous roar, shield charge, continue normal rotation
for me it is 😅 i'm kinda new on the spec
it is if you're grouping and tehy're hitting
noted.
like if you charge into pack 1 and clap, and move to pack 2
you'll lose threat
and yeah that's on dps to just chill out or md/tricks you if you wanna not
I see. I was also doing this
We burst pretty hard, I don't think I've met a DPS who can pull aggro yet
yeah like if we're set up and stopped, nothing should pull off us
honestly dps should be waiting for everything to be grouped so their opening burst actually hits everything anyway
regardless of how high they burst
then i'm doing something very wrong then
Let's start with the basic, are you using defensive stance
tanking defensive stones is feelsbadman
yep
Don't
this hasnt really affected my threat tbh
but i guess you get some more damage out of it
20% more…
treat defensive stance as a CD you use for tankbusters
Like 110% is more than 99%
this wont be my main ring, but its gunna be one i want to have in bags for defensive option
oh wow this is something new for me I'm surprised I was always in def stance
I will do that though
got any more tips 🙂 I'm ready to learn
guys did they buffed strom infused aswell? did 9.95M dmg on a 20
That's vague
I was using the generic icy-veins m+ build
It can Crit now
yeah, legit, i think that im gunna craft the potion thing, cuz its a haste stick
Desirous Blood Stone - Effect buffed by 18.5%
RPPM reduced to 2.25 (was 2.5)
next spark
will stick to it then, if y'all have any other suggestions or builds just let me know 🙂
👀
Oh shit
- 12% yogi buff
what trinkets are you running @signal shuttle
i'll take it
So with two hot fixes coming out back to back and them not breaking the humming interaction I’m betting it’s safe to send the upgrades but I’m going to hold out a bit longer just to see
dragon games equipment and the flame thing, change it tho
what should I aim for? any bis trinkets?
Does IV use bt?
if you're raiding, all-totem + whetstone
ur going to have a plethora of dormants next week u will prob have each gem maxxed w/ multicraft unstable and such
I solely m+
This is true but I’m holding out until just before raid to upgrade whatever we determine to be bis at the time
