If you are a causal you are not sweating about rushing it in the first week of it being available I htink
If the bug is any indication the rings ilvl will go to 443 next patch
I dunno about that ion said if you never replace it in 10.1 with mythic rings they’ll nerf it at some point
I dunno I would hate it if it was a serious grind but borrowed power you get “for free” in a couple hours is fine. It’s only really bad when it forces us to grind for weeks
Tier sets are borrowed power but we love them because they come from content we actually like to play
Was the ring interaction hotfixed? Sadge
🤔
Tier is something that has always been there and they augment the base class, maybe changing a talent selection. The bp that gets layered is the bad stuff
Like tier ok, but now we're adding rings, this is no longer core gameplay this, creates complexity of balance.
I get that this is dooming a bit, but I never want to see bp system like we had in legion bfa and sl
The interaction hasn't changed, some numbers were swapped around
That’s mostly a cop-out. The truth is that people don’t hate borrowed power they just think they do because it’s always been associated with grinds they hate. People don’t mald about trinkets even though those are borrowed power. Or weapons with cute but not imba procs. In fact, gavel was borrowed power and people hated gavel existing because it was too strong and forced them to grind jsiler kills. So it really has nothing to do with being open world or for all classes and the truth is people want to play what they want to play and get cool stuff and never feel like the way they play the game is wrong.
Ppl mald about borrowed power for the same reason Raid-loggers whine about M+ gear. It’s the same thing
Ppl want their way of playing to feel optimal
the issue with strong borrowed power is, is that alot of your dmg output doesnt come from you playing well, it happens because you have OP gear
and then losing said OP borrowed power and feeling substantially weaker
I hated gavel because it was just another layer that distracted from core gameplay. Same with covenants soul binds artifacts etc. Not each system by itself but each layer was just further down the rabbit hole of ignoring core issues and balancing around bp systems
So you agree whetstone is borrowed power? Or your tier set is borrowed power?
whetstone isnt overpowered enough, neither is tier
A warrior who doesn't have tier or a whetstone is still strong
in fact, when you have all icon buffs in your group, icon is even better than whetstone
and trinkets are designated cool shit items
What is considered overpowered? Whetstone is certainly superior to other M+ trinkets. How strong does a trinket have to be before it magically becomes borrowed power? OWS?
It's when bp systems become required to function
Because they won't address the issues or they nerf the core system due to introducing bp systems that were not balanced see bfa s2
Hey what stones are you running for prot? Thanks.
pins
Warrior in s1 sl required a specific legendary to function
You were substantially weaker as prot using venthyr
Etc... That's where bp becomes a problem
Define “required to function”. By that definition, tier is more borrowed power as it often has class hooks that make a build work when it normally wouldn’t
The modern era
Tier won't make or break being able to do content it's small impact
SFO tier is way, way, way borrowed power than some cringe ring
the thing with tier is, same as trinkets
you know they will leave, you know they will be replaced by new trinket/new tier
What stones are you running please?
Literally borrowing power
😆
thats not the problematic borrowed power that legion arifacts were
So like I said, it's a bit dooming, because this is a slippery slope, but I guess we'll wait to see if ion nerfs ring in 10.1
Azerite gear
60% of your dmg didnt come from you
it came just from gear
just have the gear and the class plays itself
thats dogshit
if its 5%? who cares
good for you
This is what worries me on these rings
10%? still managable
30% of bears damage last tier was from their 4 pc.
but sfo tiersets TRIPLED BDKS DMG
yes and it was a dogshit tierset sentenza
nobody misses those sets
everybody with more than 2 braincells hated em
pwar set was good because it enhanced your class, it relied on you playing well to perform well and get the full benefit
You’d be surprised. I hated SFO tier but tons of Andies seem to want borrowed power style tier back. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Which rewards playing well
it promotes good gameplay
borrowed power such as corruption, this ring, bear SL tierset, doesnt promote good gameplay
it just happens
The point is that you don’t hate borrowed power. You hate feeling less in control of your character.
That’s not the same.
Nah I hate borrowed power
Pepe hammer
Nothing about dom sockets was an issue with control
Big Pepe hammer vibes
rppm damage mmm passive shit that looks good even if you spend 60% of your GCD licking windows
i dont hate borrowed power in itself, but the execution is often times done extremely poorly and youre left in the dirt afterwards
see: Legion > Bfa
Borrowed power is fine when it's impactful like out burst or legion artifact trees
everybody lost so much power
When it's damage procs I can't be asked with it
thats how this whole debacle even began
borrowed power is only okay if you leave stronger after the power is gone
thats the big takeaway
See here’s the thing nom… you have good, well considered takes. Everyone else just paints in broad strokes and says “tier good borrowed power bad” when some tier was dog-shit and some non-tier borrowed power has been fine
Especially prot warriors because we got nerfed as if we were keeping the artifact tree but got nothing to replace it
I yam my scars
frailty is a beautiful addition
It's not even discussed in other discords
i played it in legion then tried picking it back up this go around, feels like absolute dog
if i didnt play a pwar i'd play a DH most likely
DH tank is insane
literal double and triple size the pulls i can do on dk
cuz i can move arou nd
and i have dps
🤔
Huh
weird take tbh
what is the current beta scaling? Is it still scaled like s1?
I'll go ahead and say
cuz i could kite shit and i had dps
you probably shouldnt base your impressions of a class on lfd
so i never died as much and had a better time
what you mean
new top end is 447 iirc
"I love this tank because I can just runaway and not tank"
stats gonna go to the MOON
Scaling interms of key lvl difficulty
it was way better than druid or monk tank
same as s1.
Was
key levels aint changing
10% compounding every level after 10
oh well, i dunno if i'd do DH for tank but
K values probably adjusted but idk by what
magic number will be adjusted yah
they will change with s2 or?
they haven't said anything about it changing
Kk, anyone knows what the equivalent of a s2 +20 is now?
0 things will be different about scaling in keys
equivalent to what?
bro im so lost
what are you asking
I don't understand the problem. What key level now is equivalent to a key level in s2
Like is a +25 now a +20 in s2
THe only difference between S1 +20s and S2 +20s will be the k value will be adjusted
a +20 is a +20
the scaling is the same my guy
and the K value adjustment just moves the goal post to keep tanks from immuning damage passively
But the baseline will be differnt
so a +20 in s1 has different hp/dmg numbers from mobs, than a +20 in s2
The only thing I don’t like about s2 so far is that you can brick 16s for crafting currency and craft 447. And yet m+ caps at 447. Feels like M+ vsult is nerfed. Valor/crest upgrades are also less valuable when crafted gear is 6 ilvl superior and not 3
The numbers go up on the mob, but so do yours
the baseline will not be different
So you are saying, a +20 will be the exact same as now, i.e., trivial because we have 20 more ilvl?
I think i can shed some light on the question
Crafted right now is 418, in s2 it will be equal to 421 (421+ 26 = 447)
No dude
But this is what people are saying.
We get 32 % stronger so do the mobs
no thats waht you're reading
lol
I will have the gear I have now
^
Yes
k value?
On launch day? A 20 will feel like a 23 dies now
At ilvl 415, greg is barely completing his weekly 20+.
Next season day 1, greg is still ilvl 415, what key level will he be able to barely complete?
Thank you
nerd shit
That is my question
17
you should expect a similar gear - key ratio as you experienced in 1
Boom. Answer!
ie: the keys you were able to complete in VOTI normla gear
Whiich is not my question
Or maybe answer the question i asked
or not answer at all
no point in lecturing me
How useless my question is
Both questions were answered at this point let’s move on. 🤷♂️
Although just an fyi Timmy has played s1 dungeons for 6 months so he may not beat a 17 since the dungeon will be new to him
Keep that in mind
True obviously
The dr values for armor are calculated as (A)/(A+K) where a is your armor value and k is a constant for the specific content you're doing. that k value is adjuste dto prevent higher item level equipment form immuning damage. THis is also how block is calculate,d subbing armor value for block value
PSA, since freehold is coming back, this dawing is in reference to the shells that ludwig von tortollan shoots out
if you place your character as such
you will get chian knocked down
and die
Never played freehold skipped BFA hope it lives up to the memes
so you can get totally fucked over thegre
i dont understand and i dont need to understand, thanks for trying to explain though
if ur not looking
i am a scrub
like i said, nerd shit
the big take away is "block and armor value matter"
i played all of BFA, did keys 8.0 to end of 8.3, badly mind you, but i learned alot about BFA dungeons
pretty much along those lines yea
Any1 has the details script for new ring?
should be like ~24.5 ish
No shot.
yes shot
🤔
baseline m0 usually increases by +30% each season, which translates into m+
Scaling changes from 8% per key to 10% per key
key scaling is 10% in DF instead of 8%

Ty sir
usually back in SL, when a new season started, when the swap happened it was around 3 keylevels difference
with 8% scaling
Which means that there are less key levels to represent a 30% jump “, not more
?
its till 8% pre 10
ye
baseline gets +30
so the jump will be larger because of increased scaling from 10 onwards
if you start with a baseline level of 1, (arbitrary value), scaling it 10% by key level means the overall difficulty scales less rapidly than if you start scaling 1.3 by 10% for every key level
1.3 represents the baseline bump of 30%
If I understand this correctly
thats how im thinking ye, so the question in the end is
is the jump larger than 3 keylevels or not
at 20
is this baseline bump not from the kvalue adjustments?
wild
i thought they did that through the k value adjustment didnt realize they also increased the m0 shit
they always did
mythic 0 gear should be able to be valored or equivilannt instantly
character creation time
cuz im not exacfly sure on that 10.1 system
seems im wrong in what i said
You can see a 20 is just slightly easier than a 23, 21 slightly easier than 24 etc. so keys grew like 2.8 something
True
Yeah we haven’t seen the scaling aura yet
usually its 30, in SL i think it was 40% in s3, but could also be wrong
wouldnt the "true" scaling in difficulty be made even worse with no seasonal affix?
Yeah but that was because we got tier from no tier
We have tier and get new tier - im not sure how that pans out
s2 has no seasonal? or none announced?
No seasonal
smh
they said there were stoppinmg seasonals altogether
We are getting a rotation in level 7 affixes tho
they'll liste to no seasonal but not "remove fucking fort/tyr"
Whatever that means
yes
Even though tier by itself basically surpassed that scaling 
by magnitudes
Can one tell what the DF S1 +20 key equivalent in shadowlands S1 one would be ?
Like i am clearing +23s but couldn't get above +18 in shadowlands s1
Am I just way better or is it more easy ?
Running thunderlord at the start of df s1 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Guess that's a big part
yes
is everyone running battering ram instead of that now
and with reprisal we got an legendary "to fix our class" and not to get a bonus
Yup. What a mess
i hate when blizz adds tier bonuses to fix a class issue instead of fixing the issue
TBH I don't think we're exactly perfect now; in terms of meaningful choices in the talents, I don't actually have any more freedom than I did in the 7*3 system
nah you say that but like
7*3 system sucked
Double wall? Spell block? 🤔
I get what you're saying
Double Wall is bad mmmkay
Double wall kinda never picked spell block nearly mandatory
double wall bad never pick
but like prot is just happy to not have all its throughput options competing with one another
spell block huge in keys its useful in
like imagine having to play devestate again lmao
Even against TJS 3rd boss?
talents dont need to always be the best
yes
it just need to have a purpose
🤔
when is next MDI
Paging @strong forum
i want to see it
this was discussed on like tuesday if memory serves
in low keys its good, the higher you go, the better wall becomes
Which is exactly the issue; how many genuinely optional talents are there, compared to the mandatory ones and the useless ones?
What primordial stones do i put in ring?
If I do a 25 Tyr TJS I want double wall, correct?
no
No?
maybe thats not true for prot but that holds true for a lot of other specs
no
hAhAA
hAhAA
not to mention you can go an execute focused build if you really wanted to for raid parsing
there are definitely decent amount of options, just not as much as other tanks
Why no? Because we get our wall back anyways?
yes
Actually the way our Execute talents are split up between the 3 columns of the middle section is one of the things that really annoys me
you get just as many walls in tyr 25 with imp wall
as with double wall
its just not back to back
Wouldn’t it be more?
If I really needed more Shield Wall I would prefer to spec Immovable Object
thats not the greatest but the option is there
it doesnt need to be perfect
Or am I thinking wrong talent
no, you are only on p2 for 1-1.5min
It’s not likely we get 3 walks with double wall I’m guessing
prot war def has the tree solved like week 1 tho
if you are any longer in that phase, youll die
Oh I meant overall
Not specifically
That boss

helps we have theorycrafters like nom
You get less overall eith double wall
overall you get more with imp wall yes

Have we found out if Storm is BIS for Multi Target on the ring yet?
most people lust p2? haven't pushed tjs too much really, but seen it happen when i've dps'd the key
The real way to deal with TotJS 3rd boss is for your DPS to not be shit, and burn through that phase so you take less damage
pins
I did, and then later on he mentioned that the pesilent may be better
Well
Yes I believe so.
Just gonna go for the storm/del and proph then, and pray pestilent isnt bis
Once you're doing serious keys, yes, Lusting P2 is the way to go
Just level a paladin until you get a solid answer

Pretty sure they’re busted now
Already got one fully juiced out the wazoo lmao
I'm genuinely considering leveling a Ret pally because the new zone has dropped me a nearly-complete set of 385 Plate tokens
Pwar also got nerfed in multiple ways
pwar nerfs didnt really move us much tbh
once ur doing serious keys u stop lusting p2 and have it for last boss
Mostly just leveling it for human heritage armor
just prot pal got "discovered" and the offhealing/utility they provide in high keys in invaluable.
But still nice
Buffing 1 class and nerfing another tends to shake up the meta
apparantly my friend who runs with a prot paladin says his runs have become significantly easier and he is way easier to heal now
If you play a healer in the 16-19 key rat bracket though
They got a shit ton of defensives and free healing with the update
pwar is noticeably easier to heal in rat keys
said his tnak has 640k hp too

Way more free WoGs too
avengers shield heals group too i hear
Makes being a quazi healer tank actually so much easier
ret pals are now super tanky as well, lots of passive self healing
ret pal pretty great for keys
its dog in raid though
the nerfs right before 10.0.7 took it down a bunch
I would not be surprised to see runs in some keys without healers with pally now
still doesnt stop my groups from getting 1shot by 1shot mechanics tho 😦
some keys
Not all
Ret having flash of light be an instant with a 6 second CD threw me for a loop
Def weird
But nice
shammy changes were also nice. chain heal is carrying keys now
had my first resto shaman busting out gigachad healer dps in CoS the other day
35k overall lol
yep, been noticing the same from my healer buddy
sucks they nerfed acid rain, but he's still pumpin
i wondered why i timed CoS+20 with 7:30 to spare when a dps did 50k, shaman made up for it
do we use vers or glacial phial for m+?
i def need to levle my shaman, i loved resto back in the day
I've had a love for shamans ever since s1 of BFA despite them being considered dogwater
my main love of shaman is because they have lust baseline
so i never need to worry if they are speced into it
they were decent in slands too, kyrian totem was pretty legit
or "i don't know what that is sory"
eye in the storm
if youre looking for defensive value, verse obviously. if you're looking for damage, just sim. if you just hammer tepid verse you're fine
well, for a hunter, u have to bring out a pet that is in the correct class
and if you're a hunter and you don't have one or don't want to bring it out you're a PoS
and in the past it use to be mage, hunter, shaman only did lust, or u had shitty nerfed drums instead
I can't take MM hunters seriously when they whine " but muh damage"
i still say give fury warrior ability to do blood lust
it fits the theme of fury warrior so much
- it's not that major of a loss
- the group benefit more than makes up for it
nope
its a loss on their survival
agreed heh
they're a hunter it doesnt matter lmao
hunters have survival?
i always felt like war could have lust ya
Yeah, it's their melee spec /s
Hunters are famous for just dying
imagine a berserker shout that boosts the morale of your team o
so i don't think we'll be negatively impacting anything
Intimidating Shout should counter/remove Enrage, IMO
agreed, give us before brackenhide M+
i always thought that would have been a decent talent
Brackenhide is gonna be a mess
im not excited about s2
giga long timers and painful dungeons it seems
uldaman 40min timer zzzz
eh
saw a dev post where they acknowledged this at least
Neltharus is ok
dungeons should be 25-30min timers and take 20-25 to clear
ulda is 40 min so is nok
Fucking Freehold tho
yea, a couple long ones are fine
just the length
nah people just want 20-25 min blast keys
brackenhide will be shit cause the dungeon is shit
spoiled by sbg
i want 8x maw of souls lmao
maw wasn't fast on high keys
there's always the gimmie key
isnt maw in this season?
mists
Ulda will be tricky on Tyr weeks
last boss on tyr/grevious
kekw
cant wait to heal it as rdruid
no maw of souls the legion boat dungeon with helya
no its not in this season
this season old dungeons are jade temple, halls of valor, court of stars, shadowmoon burial grounds
right but what about the one that i havent been playing for 6 months
not sure i get your questions, those are the 4 old dungeons making a comeback this season, the 4 others are current dragonflight dungeons
What are the old dungeons coming in for season 2
which at this point ih ave googled
ahh sorry you kept saying this season lol
Season 2s repeat dungeons are Freehold, Underrot, Neltharion's Lair and Vortex Pinnacle
also isnt vortex pinnacle that toxic dog shit dungeon with the clouds
Yes. Yes it is.
it has the antimagic lightning pyramids
yarp
im not sure ive ever had a proper pull of those antimagic zone pulls
insane that they thought anyone would want to play that again, let alone as a major form of content for the next year
Vortex Pinnacle won't be too bad. Freehold though, is the most unutterably dogshit dungeon ever devised
ill just make 3x melee groups lmao
freehold is hella garbage
zets living in opposite world
a lot of people are hyped for freehold, personally idk i havent played BFA M+
ppl seem to have forgotten that first boss is only playable with cheese on higher key levels for any melee character
yea, i keep hearing the opposite. wasn't playing during that time, so no opinion myself
i ran that placel ike twice on heroic
I fucking loathed Freehold back in BfA, and that is unlikely to change
they also seem to have forgotten that routing requires a rogue if u dont have the pillar from seasonal affix
people are annoyed at underrot
under suck
tyrannical underrot will push your shit in
anyone else had a bug in vault where there is no arcane ward to open the chests
personally i still hve PTSD from rock throwers in neltharion but otherwise its an easy dungeon
i've opened every room x)
FORT undersuck will push your shit in too
tons of ASS mobs to fight on fort
imagine disliking UR as prot warrior
well they did say theyd revisit older dungeons tuning/spells so theres hope
ur is mid
its not that i don't like it, i very much like the dungeon
idk what you can even skip in the beginning anymore, been so long.
it just sucks ass to run
nelths is high
Underrot will be a pug killer, same as it always was. Party aggros 2 worms at the same time = wipe
the mask pull right before first boss
and having to know which left or right side ramp there is best cuz there is extra add 50% left or right
forgot how they work. can the mobs also not cast in them? cause i thought there was a dispell or an aoe that had to be stopped or you'd wipe
spells sent in mobs/players standing in the antimagic zone gets nullified
some bolt and a live longer spell
pulls inside antimagic zone are like giga caster heavy so you need like 2-3 interrupts to drag them out
the devil girl casts it
she casts 2 things a heal and a you cant die thing on friendly
so grabby hands might fizzle
hmm i dont know about that, maybe? i know fireballs and co will do 0 damage anyways
yeah, ya'll clearly don't remember underrott like i do
no, im more scared of tyranical shrooms
The last boss in Underrot will confused the fuck out of your average pugger
EVERY SINGLE TIME with my guild, the hpal and the dk
we died at the shrooms
cuz they went boom and someone rages and thats all she wrote, guy left
Actually all the bosses will be murder until people learn howtheir bullshit works
says we are dog shit and to go an hero
i had a paladin and dk working with me all the time and we still managed to constantly fuck up that boss
he's harder than he looks
The mushroom boss is just exactly the same thing as the 1st boss in azure vault, really
the mushroom boss is just 10 times better
yes but no
couz u can worst case soak shrooms and dispel or press immunity
and the frontal is an actual frontal
u just send ur paladin or dk in with AMZ and their biggest MS shit
and not that cringe frontal from 1st boss AV
that is anything but a reliable frontal
Like how Hymdall is just General Kaal is just Vexiona. Blizz likes to repeat boss mechanics.
have them do 3/4 and u do ur side with the 2 whatever cleave pizzas he does to remove it
447 ilevel damn
26 ilvl increase on last season is exactly what I expected TBH
ilevle bloat always amazes me
hmm i guess yea
i remember a new tier meant only +13 ilevel lmao
so +4s give 421 gear, im guessing they wont be as hard as +20 right now though
with my 417 ilevel i wonder what difficulty id be able to start at
If we get to 4 seasons in this expansion you'll be pushing over ilvl 500 overall
15-16, probably
15-16, really, thatll make the climb to +20 much faster
i spent so many weeks sub +15, can only do one run a day or soemtimes two
lol really, that seems really low ilevel
yeah but i wouldve expected +20s to take more than 410 ilevel when +7s give 411
not counting vault
anyways time to go back to work
thats fair
didnt we just havea whole conversation about how the season 2 scaling hasnt been implemetned yet?
rat druid is my favorite spec
why does the method guide suggest using speed instead of avoidance for cloaks?
or even leech
Literally can't even split that hair
But it's probably because unavoidable AE isn't going to kill you, not is the healing from the miniscule amount of leech going to save you, but moving faster is handy
but muh HPS parse lol
w/ heroic leap and charge, esp with an evoker buff, I don't generally find i have mobility struggles.
It's not the passive ae that kills in df, it's the swirly
I mean legit tertiary will never make an actual difference
i also have 6 or 7 pieces with avoidance, so i just stacked it with the enchants for the luls
should probably switch those up, dr hits tertiaries hard
Eh, save the time
true, not sweating over it
Fellow Tanks, revamping my Ui, What is a Good Add Maker Addon for Mythic + ?
andwhat about armor vs stam for leggings armor kit?
Auto marker WA?
I live and die by fierce being the better kit.
i did ths one for now
Addon , WeakAura. W/e. Just looking for something Viable.
due to price to performance
ok
Yeah Auto Marker WA is what I use and most people tend to.
ok
The Stamina isn't really all that impactful either TBQH
yeah, 120 armor is more or less 0.5 % melee DR
100%
yeah it feels like the method guide is focusing more on damage and the other guides more on def/survivability
12 str 
You're getting like... 6 strength
I also noticed the method guide doesn't recommend the vers phial at all
point being stam gives nothing
fierce armor kit vs frosted armor kit comes down to personal preference basically
the armor>stam
It's both is my point
zug zug brother
Stamina gives an incredibly tiny bit of extra healing from anything that works on %MaxHP
tank more health better tank
incorrect
I repeat: neither is particularly impactful
hes main tank, hes got more hp than u
New rings are great because they give stamina just like codex 
true, i swapped tauren just to have more hp and flex on my co-tank
Anyone else here enjoy the pug life, as opposed to being in a guild and having to talk to other people? 
you lie
i play with my friends 🙂
you wanted the crit damage
sumbitch
cuz bleeds are cringe
shoulda gone regular dwarf tho for mogs + more damage overall
but i do get to do silly AA pulls with the str amp
I've considered going dorf on a character
I like the new human heritage tho for my pally
its pretty cool.
hope we get troll heritage soon
kinda sick of mop challenge mode mog
Anyone using the new ring? And is it worth it
good to boost dps a bit
Thanks!

Is there an update to the bis stones so far? After the buffs or are the pinned ones updated?
wait wtf was this about a pouch to hold my gems
or just some fever dream
pins are up to date
you know
zoomes might not know what a pin is, cuz paper less common way of doing things now, still heavily used, but not as much due to pc
the save icon is still a floppy disc and the zoomers seem to get along ok
push pin might become thing of the past if we ever move past paper
yeah, 1.44 mb floppy with the protecor on it and windo on the protecter is the best respesentation of "save", that or a 5 and 1/4 inch floppy disk icon
whats the latest recommended build for prot for m+?
check the pins
i cant seem to find
Personal question.
On subcreation, do you know if this date its legit updated or still too early?
ignore subcreation
ty
Uhm - my onyx seems to target mobs everywhere.... did anyone run a M+ with this setup? Seems like a massive ninja pull ring...
It's known
Like codex of the first technique did originally
So it's worthless in it's current state for M+ 😛
Yup. It killed a 24 RLP I ran 😡
Works as a secondary taunt 
Btw, is there any Option to See what pulls, beside logs?
It'll come to you i guess
Open your eyes and see if it starts running your way :)))
oh shit was about to upgrade, good to know, might wait a bit then
just 3 more vault keys and done for week
so wait this ring is pulling mobs
just did a 20 rlp and the ring pulled twice
ninja pulling mobs so far away
ive had some weird things happen these last two days
dude i was flaming people omg
kekw
Toxic.
apologies sir
You should. flaming don't lead to anything good
I forgive u
might actually run freezing ice instead of storming for now
why does bubbles hate me
He's a hunter undercover
i got 5 items equipped that do fire dmg now
Actually, I don't have any dps classes in my char selection
I'd lose brain cells just by looking at something other than tank

Yes but how much dps did you do? 
is there a way to farm the fragments or stones after you have opened up all your doors in the vault for the week
event every 2 hours
? what event
Whatever one pops up
The chest event seems broken whenever it's been up for me
Ok
Yeah thats the only event I know of is the chest and it's been bugged for days now
guildie said earlier the primalist future event thing drops frags, haven't confirmed though
How do you open the door for the vault? Do you need to farm a key or something? Haven't played much this week
Yes keys drop from rares and can also be acquired by trading overflow for sack of oddities
going into the vault is a quest, opening doors inside take keys, you'll need 28 total to open em all
The overflow from dailies can be used for sacks so it can be worth running dailies
but but I need the 100k for a buffalon...
Ok so there is a primal storm event just dont know how frequently it spawns
next is in 20 mins
Where is the sack of oddities vendor? I legit thought overflow was useless, sitting on like 20k @old sinew
dragonscale envoy next to the inn in morqut

If it's the one where you charge the rods or whatever, you just need to wait a while and they'll be active (they look different when they're active). I just sat there for like 10 mins killing shit and they started working
i swear i was there for 20 mins and no one knew what was going on
That the weekly one?
i feel alot more weak on my protwarrior other than my protpally, is this usual?
same ilvl
you might be playing warrior wrong
nah prot pala feels way stronger same ilvl
paladin is good too but you shouldn't be falling over on warrior
Warrior feels slightly more sluggish with this new ring instead of having haste 😱😱😱😱😱
Also I love the screaming emoji, whoever decided it should look like “The Scream”, 
after i've messed around and generated big numbers i'll probably stick to normal rings for m+
My stats after a messy 20 halls, running storm/des/prop - sure I felt the haste reduction but that dmg 👌
i have a question about the ring is it worth to have rn ? and wich stones are the best for prot raid/m+
pins
… why
Exploit early exploit often
i mean, sims are still ongoing, but it seems very possible that they're still worse than secondaries in aoe
ty
Pepehammer. You can literally play with these gems right now and see for yourself how they do and compare against your own runs
What a strange take. I dunno
not exactly the scientific process but sure
Field testing has lined up with napkin math within an acceptable margin. Sims are okay but not really a good snapshot of M+ performance
good to hear! i have thusfar looted two vault keys so
i'm not really going to have the time to do wide testing on these things lmao
Also sims aren’t really still ongoing hasn’t t nom already simmed these and put out best sets? And he’s tested them in keys too?
can anyone share sting for stone simming?
you seem kind of upset that i haven't read every single message about these stones over the past two days? geeze, i'm just going off pins and the gut feelings i've managed to catch
🤷♂️
think proff wants to sim themselves, here mate:
also heeding the wise name of "wait for simc on stone hotfix"
unless we should no longer be waiting
in which case, add "don't" to your name
do we always want more damage on the rings
there probably won't be any changes over the weekend but i wouldn't be surprised if the numbers keep changing next week
on my sim it replaced the second ring though, unless it's programmatical indexing where 1==2
🤔😆
cause ive been using cold frost stone/shining obsidian stone and its been pretty much giving me a shield thats on my 3rd highest heals and 9% damage total in a +21
hmm ok then i dunno why it replaced the second ring for me which is the weaker one
is there a new gem pouch?
I mean, no offense but your damage is probably ass if that combo did 9% since it caps out at around 3200 dps
oh, i thought i heard there was
thats with another shield gem forgot to mention
Yes with cold frost shining obsidian and Indom earth I was getting around 3200 dps
Well I assume even your sims are done with the t29 build right @astral atlas
So it's assuming bis rings
So yeah if you don't have bis rings, it'll be better (relatively). And if you're not a good player damage-wise, it'll be better.
Again, relatively
sadly haven't had eranog ring drop enough that loot council would give to a tank 😢
have you tried bribes?
I did 2 keys a 23 HoV and a 23 AV 3200 and 3000 dps with absorb setup. Thats horrid damage. The absorbs are okay but like… they don’t help you live anything you wouldn’t already live. Other tanks may like the absorb gems but I feel they are anti-synergistic with how our mitigation works anyways
Gleaming iron is even worse then indomitable earth :/
I’d love to see how that fire ring works in rlp tho
are you sure about that? at least its a dmg buff for autos
they only take sims sadly 😦 no bribing other than cold hard statistics
The auto attack buff is such a small dps gain. 100% uptime on the buff but it’s just not a lot of damage. The absorb value is literally half the frost gem and procs shining 33% less. Meanwhile indom has roughly same absorb amount and 2.5 ppm which is better than 2 ppm so more shining damage
don't you just have people who aren't corrupt smh
ye, but i was trying to maximize the shining or whatever its called
hate*
A fairly painful +18 HoV where people crashed out twice, and no one seemed to understand rune phase on Odyn, but the ring is doing work lol
Indom earth procs the shining obsidian more. The upside of gleaming is that you can control the absorb, the downside is the absorb is horrible so who cares. Controlling dog-butt doesn’t matter, plus it’s a dps loss if you don’t proc gleaming on cooldown
what rings were you using?
thats why to have the frost gem
Bruh much sympathy
cuz it just keeps applying the buff
i guess it could go off at wrong times but hmmm
ive been hearing that Storm Infused is pulling extra stuff
I understand the frost gem is good. But you have the choice of 3rd gem and it’s between gleaming iron or Indom earth
Storm has definitely ninja pulled a few times, but it seems to only target mobs in front of you, so I have been facing away from anything I don't want to ninja pull, and it has worked well
Just try out Indom earth instead of gleaming, you’ll see it perform better, higher proc rate and higher absorb.
ngl I didn't realize you had the script and got like halfway down the list going "where are the stones???"
Lmao! "This guy's an idiot, he is bragging about the ring but he's not even wearing it"
i got a ring in there last night
Yup. Killed a 24 rlp 😡
Guess that’s the tech then, still cringe tho. Blizzard plz fix
seems to be preforming the best (and I just upgrade the setup thats reco in the pins to try out this weekend)
and im interested about the shield aoe damage setup though
with Earth, Obsidian and Frost Stone
Definitely doesn't feel "great" to be having to play around an obvious bug, but the damage is worth it
Hey people after a lot of tunning in the new ring gems, what are the best one to use ?
Pins are up to date with tunning ?
Yes
Ok thanks
how come the sims are using melandrus and diurna as rings?
It’s okay. 🤷♂️ I mean if you are doing lower keys and don’t care about damage as much I guess it’s fine. I wouldn’t play it in actual keys though you give up way too much damage for not that much pay-off imo
Because they're our BiS rings. You can do your own sims to see the comparison with what you actually have.
nothing gets passed you
😆
Yes, so if you sim, then it's going to tell you which of them to replace.
But probably melandrus would get replaced
I’m just glad humming won’t end up being meta so I don’t have to mald out about not having enough magic damage triggers 
do you guys prefer the inferno breast plate or the tier breastplate?
Inferno breastplate? ❓
The haste/crit one from CoS
There's another haste/crit one but idr where it's from
Apparently I’m using tier in chest because it had speed on it. Gotta go fast I guess lol
Speed bis, just ask method
4 hov
no idea if the fire dmg off ring proced raid ring fire
Which combination are you using?? Spill the beans 🫘 
i dunno about guide but i use this WA to remind me
https://wago.io/tDT26wrXg/7
Original WA: https://wago.io/IkerOKywU Tells you when to reflect in Dragonflight dungeons and raids. Triggers only when
Same
nice, i just copied the link from the WA in-game
what are the requisites for getting the hidden prot appearance..?
i see people are doing it on class trials
Sounds sussy
nah thats legit
gets you 4 extra chances per day
got hmt class trial and check cave
Some of us did it the hard way
You know flying there and pressing that macro
And then waiting till tomorrow
Actually I think I camped my human warrior there and just used him to check
wait whats the macro
dont u just check gold pile
so u dont need class hall unlockoed ot get it?
bc fresh class trial wont have class hall
It basically checks if you're eligible at the entrance
Uh let me see if I still have it saved
It checks for a hidden quest that triggers when you enter the cave
the piercing shards from AV frontals. leave some dot. is it dispellable somehow?
i don't recall, the initial hit is all i've ever worried about
i think it leave something tha stack up
should be trying to stun as many as you can anyway
for sure. i was just wondering if someone can remove. if so who
Its a dot that deals dmg for 10 secs or something
not dispellable no
i see 🙂
Storm Infused Stone/Desirous Blood Stone/Prophetic Twilight Stone
I think the plants mystic vapors leave a dot right?
That you can dispel with dwarf racial?
WAIT
CAN YOU CLASS TRIAL TAESCHELACH FARM?
LFR QUEUE IN DAL PUTS YOU RIGHT AT AGGRAMAR
well
does it let you solo queue for things?
as a class trial
if so im fucking teshwack farming
why?
You can't farm anything in a raid
with a class trial
They can't enter raid content
And can only enter dungeons that are appropriate for their level
The guy earlier was talking about the hidden appearance being farmable with class trials, which is true because you don't actually go into an instance for it
antorus lfr queue is a gropu finder queue tho
ez push week and im tilted my healers ring just ninjapulled a pack on a for-sure key
u dont zone itno the raid
if i log back in ill get invited to the 23 it depleted to
You can't enter raid content. It doesn't matter how you enter it.
ah shucks
do the best i can do is just do lfr aggramar on every char once a week
?
so*
yup
nuuuu
on chars the sword can drop for
even as prot it could drop.
have log?- my healer is running the storm stone
we got a ninja pull but it ended up being the pug boomkin
it would be tragic tho to wipe to that stupid storm stone ninja pulling
what's the script for combining all ring dmg on plater?
On plater?
details, derp

no log, trust me theres tons of evidence out there of the stones pulling mobs out of combat.
it might be an interaction with spiteful idk
how could you tell? i wanna know what too look for incase he doesnt want to drop the storm stone lol
your ranged dps don't like warn you it's gonna happen
a mob will come running at you that you didn't pull
oh fuck
when i checked logs thinking it was him- i could only see the boomkin getting body aggro in the replay
but at the moment i said "who has the storm stone" and my healer said he was running it
if you spend any time in other healer discords, you'll hear about it ninjapulling plenty
I gotta say it. Random challenge mode!
"this gem will randomly activate hard mode for any encounter you're in. Good luck!"
hey guys, can anyone drop the script for details for the rings?
scroll up
is it worth using the new ring or is it out classed by other rings
@sick sentinel would you mind looking at my log i just posted quick please mate see if its any better than the other night? thanks 🙂
should we be switching out a storm onyx ring with the freezing one before fighting dungeon bosses?
ok so keep storm ring on for m+, cuz u cant take it off, and ice ring on for raid
gear and talents are locked inside of M+ dungeon
wait im mistaken i have seal of filial duty
your CPM for SS is 1.5 lower
all of your casts per minute in the previous key were higher
am i wasting as much rage?
some still, but you improved that alot so far
it was like, 800 of 5616, now it was 300 for 5100
check pins will be very honest and insightful
hey mates 🙂 i saw a list of spell-reflectables somewhere but i couldnt find it anymore could someone maybe help me out?
if you want log reviews
he canges his name to whatever the new meme is
all of the yellow names you should take note of what they say
thanks mate for doing this will have a good read up 🙂 for some reason i get over powered with rage i dont know what to do with it all so i i find my self spending moe time ip than ss and tc sometimes?
