Don’t they have spirit link too?

yeah but lmao

#

thats not an external you can rely on

#

it can even kill you

prisma crane
#

its also pretty annoying to use on that particular fight

#

that fight would be MUCH better if the visual for the 4 lines showed up right as the circle spawned instead of what feels like 2 seconds later

toxic gyro
#

I always play with my rdruid, so I’m not very familiar with other healers

#

Any reason you don’t spread sr and demo? Like sr with first and demo with 2nd?

strong forum
#

if you demo 2nd, youll only get it for the 5th, and you wont have demo for 4th

toxic gyro
#

I see

strong forum
#

but yeh as i said just below it

#

SR and IV can be spread differently

#

but like this youll have something for pretty much every wave, 2nd wave is just a bit spicy

#

and obv if you dont get 5 waves you can spread it differently again

toxic gyro
#

I like that more than spreading sr and demo for first and 2nd and not having demo until 5

#

I’ll start doing bark on 2nd to make it easier

strong forum
#

if its only 4 you can
SW + IV
SpellBlock + Demo + SR
Spellblock IV
LS + SR + Pot or w/e (maybe SW is back up again)

So I personally always use the aoe silence/taunt. But I don't see alot of people doing it, is it bad? Or do you trust your companions to be good?

Because I usually play with apes (irl friends)

#

It's just...unnecessary. 🤷

If the people you play with suck at interrupts then sure

warm plinth
#

We already have multiple other stops

But if you need it it’s a skill issue

#

No shame in acknowledging it

#

Not on your end

#

I mean like, on the team’s end

warm plinth
#

Like at a certain key level, the other people in your group just have to not be terrible

acoustic oasis
#

..... I can't say that last part tho lmao

#

Not without the drama.

#

Understood though, I'll see if I can convince them to not disappoint me

shrewd grove
#

Between pummel/shockwave/int shout I find it covers most of my bases. Some dungeons I grab storm bolt as well. But I tend to stay away from Disrupting Shout because it is a very helpful CD for snapping adds off people if they buttpull, or get aggro when DPS unload on a pull too early. And you lose the ability to do that when you have to save it for interrupts

waxen orbit
#

^^^

shrewd grove
#

Basically you have 3/4 options to interrupt casts, but only 1 option to snap AoE threat onto yourself

#

By taking that talent you lose the 1 AoE taunt and gain an extra interrupt you shouldn't really need

warm plinth
#

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't lose Challenging Shout to take Disrupting Shout. Aren't they separate spells?

shrewd grove
#

It still taunts

acoustic oasis
#

No, it changes challenge to disrupt

#

^ what storm said

warm plinth
#

Oh, interesting. It was separate on beta. Guess it was changed.

shrewd grove
waxen orbit
#

It's just not really worth

warm plinth
#

I know it still taunts; I thought they were still separate spells.

shrewd grove
#

Ah I see

waxen orbit
#

It's an additional talent point dumped into a utility you don't need that could have otherwise been spent on something for damage/survivability/stormbolt

acoustic oasis
#

Understood

shrewd grove
#

That said. Not going to stop you from progressing if you take it, and it can absolutely be helpful

I have used it in raid progression on Dathea for instance

Hi guys, how do the spell reflect interact with the absorb on Kurog ? Is there something we can do with it

candid sage
#

Is anyone here able to explain to me how spell blocking works? I've trying to find any resources online but there doesn't seem to be anything. More specifically, here's some question I had:

  • Spell block says "you are able to block spells". I imagine this is the same % chance to block as a normal block right?
  • Are there any spells you cannot block?
  • Are you able to block only magical spells?
  • How would spell block and block work on a spell like this: https://www.wowhead.com/spell=384476/rain-of-arrows since it does physical damage, I imagine your normal block would take effect, so are you blocking twice?
  • How does it interact with beam spells like Wash Away from Mari or Hyrja's beam? Are you block each tick?
  • What about dots, can you block the dots spell, or are you blocking each tick?
#

I see the Google sheets but I wanted some more explanation 🙂

sick sentinel
#

it works on fireball type spells that target you first an isn't like a circle they put on the ground

strong forum
#

cant block dots, only direct hits, you can block some floor effects, not all of them, you can generally block aoe hits, you can block beams and will continue to block each tick of it if it does so

sick sentinel
#

and then it goes through normal block calcuations and it can go to 100% of the value unlike melee at 85%

strong forum
#

rain of arrows i dont think is blockable, its a physical attack so its subject to regular block not spellblock

sick sentinel
#

so, the amount it can take is whatever is listed on your shield, or double that in the case that you crit block

strong forum
#

okay nvm

#

rain of arrows is blockable, but like i said

#

physical so no spellblock needed

candid sage
#

Alright, thanks everyone!

modern brook
#

if we can block rocks we can block arrow rain

#

eeeh i would be cautious with that, floor effects are always 50-50

I think it’s been a few hours since a complaint about ptr explosives has been filed so here it goes

#

Ptr explosives trash

#

Still healer affix

sick sentinel
#

dont it got 500k hp

loud patrol
prisma crane
#

depending on how that's tuned

#

it may still be better to just full blown aoe

#

and ignore them

dusky canopy
#

What In the actual

#

Bro what..

oblique kayak
warm plinth
#

I actually don't hate the idea

oblique kayak
#

same

warm plinth
#

Easy swap specs swap to the orb, the rest ignore it and you just deal with the remainder if it's not dead

prisma crane
#

the only good thing about that idea is that it no longer becomes binary

#

someone putting 90% dmg into one is no longer just lost dmg

warm plinth
#

yeah

dusky canopy
#

But wait does it still do group damage?

warm plinth
#

No

#

It'll do the absorb instead

dusky canopy
#

Ohhh

#

Much much better

#

I like it

prisma crane
#

i still think they should just scrap the affix, but w/e

warm plinth
#

The whole point of them changing explosive was to make it not the healer's job

oblique kayak
#

let it do both lol

dusky canopy
#

Imo at first thought the idea is better now that I know it’s swapping for the damage component

#

But like

#

Does it split the absorb amongst all targets

oblique kayak
#

even better - if they explode let them shield - if they die 5% dmg boost

prisma crane
#

it almost has to be dynamic

loud patrol
#

imagine if the dmg stays

dusky canopy
#

Or does it do for example 30% of the orbs remaining health as an absorb on each target

prisma crane
#

but

loud patrol
#

like dmg and shield

prisma crane
#

lets do this

sick sentinel
#

kiss curse could be is if you are successfull in "killing" the explosive, it instead provides a shit load of healing to the group

prisma crane
#

lets say it's 100 hp for simple numbers

#

and lets say 100% of hp is split or sent to all mobs

prisma crane
#

100% of hp to a single target has zero reason to EVER swap

#

100% of hp split to targets has zero reason to EVER swap

sick sentinel
#

dunno what 4pm groups is sry

prisma crane
#

100% of hp to many targets you obviously gain more and more by swapping

dusky canopy
#

So imagine 3 explosives go off each applying a individual absorb shield to each mob left in the pack

#

Kinda yikes

prisma crane
#

would have to be more than 100% to ST and less than 100% to multiple targets otherwise it'll be always ignored in ST and too strong in AoE

dusky canopy
#

If it’s individual absorbs

sick sentinel
#

its important that the explosive can never spawn off a platform say

#

where only range dps can hit or u have to heroic throw

prisma crane
#

individual absorbs? as in to a single mob out of a group of mobs?

#

its phrased where it would shield everything in combat

dusky canopy
#

Like let’s say this explosives ends at 120k hp now each mob gets 120k absorb added to its health bar?

prisma crane
#

i don't see a way they can tune it without being dynamic % that would ever work

sick sentinel
#

fire is etremely volatile byt nature, so a a short basic absorbtion

pallid quiver
#

I think they should make it so that if an explosive goes off, the DPS players just get -100% damage and the the tank and healer gets +500% damage and healing. It also adds a stacking debuff that makes it so that DPS players get a higher chance of no loot at the end of the dungeon

thin silo
#

200% remaining health of orb, split between all mobs

prisma crane
#

it would have to be something like 200% of remaining health to all enemies, split

sick sentinel
#

key word on short

prisma crane
#

but you do that

#

and ppl will NEVER swap in aoe

dusky canopy
#

Ok “split”

prisma crane
#

unless you have really good funnel

grave flower
#

Quick poll outside of sims and all that but for Mythic tanking purposes how many of y’all did haste vers on your crafted gear. If not that did you do haste crit?

dusky canopy
#

If it’s split I’m interested

grave flower
#

Just want anecdotal responses

prisma crane
#

the larger the aoe, the less impactful the split gets

thin silo
#

maybe sqrt split

pallid quiver
#

I went haste/vers at one point because sims said it was higher DPS when I was crafting near the start

prisma crane
pallid quiver
#

almost all of my crafts were haste/crit tho

thin silo
#

full haste/crit here

grave flower
#

Makes sense

dusky canopy
prisma crane
thin silo
#

well then you'd better blow up the orb

prisma crane
#

yea but that's a bad design

#

these orbs cannot be blown up

#

and if you have 100 mobs

#

you could get the orbs to 5% and still have problems with anything using squares

grave flower
#

I really want to keep my shit haste mastery so I can fury off spec. Got up to 52% mastery and feeling like a god. But guild wants me to tank full time in raids

mighty valley
#

explosives are a pain in the ass to target because there's a million of them and they spawn frequently, if both of those go down it's nowhere near as bad

dusky canopy
#

Fair point definitely

prisma crane
#

idk if you watched the MDI at all, or play with default UI

#

but GL targeting anything quickly when you already have like 8 mobs in a pull

#

they straight up overlap

mighty valley
#

in the MDI they do the biggest pulls on god's green earth, at the current explosive spawn rate

prisma crane
#

i only brought up the MDI to illustrate the limitations of default nameplates

mighty valley
#

i mean that's a conversation that no one's ready for

prisma crane
#

you're not even playing unsafe by doing a fairly large pull in start of AA

mighty valley
#

"is the game actually better when doing huge pulls is the norm"

prisma crane
#

first off yes

dusky canopy
#

I can’t wait for 3-4 explosives to spawn and apply a giant fucking shield to the 10 mobs I’m tanking that are almost dead AND are CC DRd

prisma crane
#

secondly, not having them easy (and i mean EASY) to instantly target when time on them matters is a problem

#

and one that stuff like Plater clearly helps a lot with

#

but blizz cannot design around players having that

dusky canopy
#

Plater is definitely nice for explosives makes them very obvious in my profile

#

Default ui users must hate it

prisma crane
#

anything that's just additional clutter to play around is just bad design

#

until they can find a way to distil the information to players more clearly

mighty valley
#

there are a billion time-sensitive mob abilities that demand that you target them

prisma crane
#

yes, and none that ramp up when you have more targets

#

other than affixes

mighty valley
#

i mean. you're literally doing that by pulling bigger

prisma crane
#

i could do a pull with 5 casters more "clearly" than a pull in Plaguefall with purely slimes that only melee and die with puddles

mighty valley
#

if you pull three packs, there are three times as many things that are important to target (in some generic scenario)

prisma crane
#

not all pulls in dungeons are small

#

and a timer necessitates larger pulls

#

you cannot expect players to single pack pull all dungeons

dusky canopy
#

Don’t want to be in that world ^

prisma crane
#

it just also doesnt work

#

player dps doesnt scale enough to keep up with key scaling to pull that way

mighty valley
#

this is why i'm saying it's a bigger conversation - all of this is couched in how the dungeons and the system is currently set up, i'm talking about if blizzard stepped back and tried to think "what do we think an ideal dungeon experience looks like"

#

all signs point to them discouraging your average player from having 20 healthbars on screen at a time, and not really caring what people at +25s and up are getting up to

prisma crane
#

sure, but im entirely referring to horrible affix choices when viewed in the context of a UI that clearly doesnt support the problems the affixes create

#

killing the explosive should be the "skill check" not being able to target it in the first place

#

yeah. i mean, on the micro scale, they've said they're going to drastically reduce the number of explosives that can spawn. and i hope they go further

prisma crane
#

it still doesnt change the fact that dungeons have huge mob counts even when pulled one pack at a time

mighty valley
#

but like, it sounds like you're close to advocating for "no affixes should create things you have to target because the UI doesn't support it at 20+ pull size"

prisma crane
#

frogs in HoA, back half of Brackenhide

#

i did effectively say that, yes

mighty valley
#

yeah, they could tie things like explosives to numbers of some definition of "key enemies" rather than just mob count total

potent gulch
prisma crane
#

and i think that unless there's a separate side box of targets to select (like boss frames) they shouldnt do it

cinder storm
#

The novelty of m+ might be dying, people have WAs and add-ons ready and know what they need after 4 xpacs. The nzoth nightmares had the right idea, make dungeons like nightmares/rifts that you can complete in solo, duo, or 5 man

prisma crane
#

6 of the 10 affixes have no additional targets, 1 you could argue doesnt matter because it's spiteful (unless combined with explosive, however i dont believe spiteful mobs can spawn orbs

mighty valley
#

personally, beyond explosive, i think the game is less varied and interesting when the normal behavior is huge pulls, because that kind of implies that individual enemies can't be presenting particularly interesting challenges

sick sentinel
mighty valley
#

but that's not the sort of thing to reconsider piecemeal, which it sort of seems like they have been

sick sentinel
#

i mean like, chose 1 really

prisma crane
cinder storm
#

The hardest part of running m+ is realistically how good other people play

prisma crane
#

instead of a key where every pull has 6 mobs that cast and each caster has 3 different casts and 1 cast isnt a big deal, 1 is a pain and 1 is instant wipe

#

and then you have range players with 30 sec interrupts and GG

mighty valley
#

i don't think targeting a guy to kick in a pack of 20 is a particularly fun skill test, is the thing

#

and that's half of the HoV big pulls

#

Legion was like 90% frontals and/or kiting huge trains

prisma crane
#

i dont either, but HoV big pulls adds one of those per pack you drag together

Hey guys, so I'm running Mythic vault tonight with a new guild I only ran M Keurig with (and only got him to 1% last week) and want to build my talents to be the 100% most tankiest tank possible. Before I go through and adjust them, I was wondering if anyone had a purely 100% defensive build...looking into just survivability

dusky canopy
#

If anything having to target 1 guy out of 20 to kick isn’t really a skill test at all

prisma crane
mighty valley
#

not that it's a very fun skill test but

robust lark
prisma crane
mighty valley
#

BSV just sadly doesn't work how you'd hope

dusky canopy
robust lark
#

I know that's been said before, that if BSV pops for you, you're already dead

prisma crane
#

you just want to be a rage generating machine

mighty valley
#

I genuinely think you'll have the best chance just playing the normal build and ending the fight a touch faster

prisma crane
robust lark
#

ahh gotcha

#

broken!

sick sentinel
#

"anyones vault canon not work?" "blizzard will not get away with this"

#

i dunno why ppl are malding out today

robust lark
#

Thought about grabbing enduring alacrity too, idk

prisma crane
#

i would argue the only things that are "defensive" that are worth it are Heavy Repercussions and Enduring Defenses

#

EA is a waste

sick sentinel
#

now it's personal, he says

#

dude ain't hgappy

mighty valley
#

there just aren't points to spare down in that section

prisma crane
#

we're just not weak in raid either

dusky canopy
#

Are we able to filter logs by date when viewing leaderboard?

mighty valley
#

all of the "offensive" sounding talents down there are also contributing to rage

prisma crane
#

^

#

and rage is surv

robust lark
#

word!

#

so Heavy Repercussions over ItF?

#

HEavy Rep

#

sorry

mighty valley
#

i was about to say

prisma crane
#

unless you go with Bolster

#

but in raid you prob dont need HR

mighty valley
#

HR is the brain-off 100% shield block uptime choice

prisma crane
#

but if you want to "play safe" HR makes 100% block braindead

robust lark
#

I was getting like 90-95% SB uptime without it

prisma crane
#

uptime doesnt matter

#

if that 5-10% was when you werent actively tanking it doesnt matter

robust lark
#

ok

mighty valley
#

(well, it matters insofar as you want as much as you can for shield slam dmg without missing any blocked hits when you're main tanking)

robust lark
#

My blocked hits were much higher than the average top parses I looked at after raid last thursday

prisma crane
#

well for sure, but strictly defensively since that's his #1 concern

mighty valley
#

i put it in parentheses because i knew i was being pedantic and annoying

prisma crane
#

yea because most parse whores dont care, we block enough to not die and the rest is all going in dmg

robust lark
#

I just gotta live 😦 and pop SR more often

prisma crane
#

fwiw i almost added that caveat myself

#

well i guess the better question is what's killing you

robust lark
#

the healers, obviously

prisma crane
#

because you can live most of the raid with god awful talents

robust lark
#

I posted in the logs last week and the top feedback I got was to use my defensive CDs better, namely that I died with LS up too much, and wasn't properly hitting SR enough. This was on KEurig, and I was def trying, if not almost fully successful, at SR'in every sundering strike, but could have been using it more in between

#

If you're interested. Raid is in 2.5 hours lol

#

For survivability too, was wondering if I should re-gem from haste/crit to haste/vers

#

or if the conceivable extra parry from crit was justifiable

prisma crane
#

firstly with gems, do you use lariat?

robust lark
#

yes

prisma crane
#

most of us use Crit heavy, low Haste gems

#

you want Lariat to proc haste

robust lark
prisma crane
#

those gems would give you crit procs from lariat

robust lark
#

TIL so do I need the full haste gems there instead of the haste/crit gems?

strong forum
#

No

prisma crane
#

it goes off of the lower number

#

you WANT split stat gems

strong forum
#

70+33 > 88

prisma crane
#

more stats > less of ideal stat

jagged pier
#

yer and

#

ive had crit proc since launch

strong forum
#

Same

prisma crane
#

lol

mighty valley
#

in any case

prisma crane
#

well most i see use haste, but i guess it doesnt matter

mighty valley
#

your gems are not gonna be the diff

robust lark
#

sure

strong forum
#

Gems do Jack in terms of perceived anything

#

They're a neat bonus

robust lark
#

regardless what do I want to gem now so I can get the haste buff from lariat, lol

strong forum
#

But nothing to waste braincells on

robust lark
#

I'm lookin at the AH now lol

strong forum
#

Big crit low haste
Big vers low haste

prisma crane
#

also remove the one bloodborne and put that point into Instigate

strong forum
#

Those are your choices

#

If you want haste proc

robust lark
strong forum
#

All

robust lark
#

rgr

strong forum
#

It picks any gem on your gear

robust lark
#

that's what I thought

prisma crane
#

not having either instigate or bloodsurge is a lot of rage lost

robust lark
#

ok cool

#

Imma re-gem with these I guess...

#

honestly yeah I get it that these things will matter much much less than how I play

#

and I know I'm not BAD per-se but I did want to make sure I was doing my best

robust lark
#

anyway this is what I'm looking at now

prisma crane
#

get rid of one of those extra rage cap talents and put it in the crit one on the bottom

#

i cant remember these names

robust lark
#

ok

strong forum
#

Bolster + hr is way overkill

#

Either or, not both

prisma crane
#

also yea that

strong forum
#

Also instead of honed reflexes get +1% crit chance on class tree

#

Or move 1 point of overwhelming rage there

prisma crane
#

i cant be the only one who feels like OR is almost entirely worthless right?

robust lark
#

ok so I could swap HR with ItF and keep bolster

prisma crane
#

yes, or keep HR and drop bolster for something else

strong forum
#

Plays alot smoother when you get that extra wiggle room

#

That being said, I haven't run it since beta cuz I just forget

robust lark
#

tree isn't lettin me drop overwhelming rage or HR for the 2nd crit point in cruel strikes

strong forum
#

Yes

#

That's how it is

#

You can't get more than 1 point in it

robust lark
#

XD word I see the "or" up there now.

strong forum
#

You're limited to 11 points in 3rd gate

well I'm glad you checked too instead of just trusting what I said, though it would've shown it in the window too I suppose

hard dust

just double checking, haste is king for prot warriors right?

daring marlin
#

correct

mighty valley
#

well, str is king

#

but yeah, of the secondaries, prio haste

craggy pilot
#

when next season releases, will our tier set be disabled when in the new raid?

#

similar to how SL Gems only worked in the maw 🤔

warm plinth
#

we don't know. When tier sets have existed in the past, they've never disabled them and you ended up with people mix and matching them. But we haven't had two tier sets back to back since then so who knows

craggy pilot
#

ah yea ok, just watching Maximum reading out 2set nerfs 🤔

daring marlin
craggy pilot
#

thought tier set was disabled after season, but idk

warm plinth
#

I think it's less likely we mix and match anyway though because I believe we only have 5 tier slots now and in the past we had 6

#

so you could do 4+2 and shit before

craggy pilot
#

ah yea

#

but now you can only do 2+2

warm plinth
#

yep

#

unless you get a ring of royal grandeur

craggy pilot
#

😄

#

was just gonna say lul

warm plinth
#

😂

craggy pilot
#

that would be giga haha

daring marlin
#

Just make the catalyst pieces count as tier.

craggy pilot
#

tier piece feet

#

huge

warm plinth
#

I'm actually hopeful that they're disabled for the next tier

#

mix and matching was degen af

craggy pilot
#

yea

#

well either that, or they just nerf the old 2set to the ground 😄

warm plinth
#

yeah that's fine too

daring marlin
#

Didn't like wearing old tier in legion for infinite rage??????

craggy pilot
#

do we know how crafted items is gonna work for 10.1?

warm plinth
#

No, not really lol. Though I mained windwalker then

daring marlin
#

oh I see

#

fotm reroller!!!!

warm plinth

#

I played prot warrior too :p

#

craggy pilot
warm plinth
#

I was a monk main from MoP until BFA

craggy pilot
#

or do we get new ones, and have to relearn Crafting?

warm plinth
#

There are a few new crafted items but for the most part you'llj ust use the same ones

#

and use the new enchanting item to upgrade them

#

so you know the crests to upgrade shit that's replacing valor right

craggy pilot
#

so there is gonna be a new set of infusions i reckon or what?

warm plinth
#

They'll require the new spark too, yes. But basically the crests you use to upgrade can be enchanted by an enchanter, and you use that as an optional reagent in place of an infusion

#

And that's how you get the higher ilevel crafted shit

craggy pilot
#

ah so if you want a new max ilvl Lariat, you need to talk to an enchanter, and then a jewelcrafter?

warm plinth
#

You'll need to get your crest enchanted first, yeah. And then get it recrafted using the enchanted crest + new spark

craggy pilot
#

so likely a bunch of new Crafting things, to increase our skills as well

#

since it will probably be higher difficulty

#

🤔

#

hmm

warm plinth
#

Nah they already said that recipe difficulty and shit isn't changing

craggy pilot
#

ah ok

warm plinth
#

Otherwise new crafters would be even farther behind than they already are

craggy pilot
#

yea true

#

kinda feels weird i am insta at the top of the game if i just played S1

#

like i dont have to refarm anything in BS

warm plinth
#

Well you'll have to farm the fragments to get the crests, and the only source I've seen so far for the new spark is a one-time quest that gives you 1 spark

craggy pilot
#

well people have to farm them themselves

#

not me as a crafter 😄

warm plinth
#

I assume you'll be able to buy them from the vault vendor again as well but that's only one every couple weeks assuming a filled out vault

craggy pilot
#

like im maxed in everything BS

#

just trying to check if i need to do anything in the new season

#

if not, its kinda dumb tbh :/

warm plinth
#

yeah idk, there's a handful of new recipes but nothing that I've heard that is anything special yet

#

like there's a new embellished shield

#

but idk if the effect is gonna be good or not

#

(probably not)

craggy pilot
#

yea well im already maxed in shield 😄

#

like im sitting on 50 unused Knowledge points

warm plinth
#

I gave up on professions because crafting is annoying and gathering ended up being shit after I spent a couple months with mining/herb

#

Idk how there are even mats on the AH to be honest. Farming is not worth the time

craggy pilot
#

gathering is too much work for me

#

i make quite good money on crafting

#

but crafting is all about spamming /2, which is kinda horrible

warm plinth
#

2 hours of non-stop farming with both mining and herb would get me like, 15-20k

#

It's super bad

craggy pilot
#

casual people love to do gathering and questing though

warm plinth
#

I would think bots would have a really hard time of farming in DF though

#

since dragonriding

craggy pilot
#

yea true

#

idk i think if you have a lot of skillpoints and knowledge points in gathering, it can probably pay off

#

like i can do the Mineral Overload every 30minute or so

#

maybe even more

warm plinth
#

I had all of the important shit maxed

#

Still do I suppose, technically

#

Since you don't lose knowledge

craggy pilot
#

😄

#

was considering dropping my Mining and getting something else

#

but idk if i could spend the time every week doing weekly quests for 2 professions :<

warm plinth
#

tbh the gathering ones are stupid easy 99% of the time

#

The more time-consuming part is farming the 6 knowledge items

craggy pilot
#

yea i usually just buy the stuff on AH 😄

warm plinth
#

Yeah depends what it is for me usually

#

Like the place I farm, if it's rousing fire I normally just buy it

craggy pilot
#

Rousing Fire 0/15

#

i insta buy that shit

warm plinth
#

Because I mostly get order and air where I farm

craggy pilot
#

Serevite Ore 0/10

#

insta buy

warm plinth
#

Oh I just do it if it's serevite XD

#

since I'd get it farming the knowledge anyway

i only farm the weekly knowledge for BS

Group Loot roll results frame (/loot) has been redesigned with a new look. Group Loot now has a Transmogrification option that replaces Greed if the player has not collected the appearance. Transmog rolls take priority over Greed rolls.
Players can Transmog roll on items that are not their primary armor type (i.e. Warriors can Transmog roll on cloth items). Transmog rolls and Greed rolls are treated equally (a Greed roll can beat a Transmog roll).

#

I have an all totem

#

do u have a 408 one

#

its like bis for m+

old flame
#

yes

sick sentinel
#

whats the other trinkets u have then

rigid rune
#

socket then is what id choose 😛

sick sentinel
#

the cloak has a ton of haste

#

and if you are really hard up for trinkets like no other options the horn really isn't bad either

#

i used horn for about a month

#

the way in which horn is good is because it is a very large amount of primary stat all at once with no downside or cost or waiting beside the cd

#

it's incredibly easy to use and not have to give any thought

#

if you have heroic raid trinkets or better though, use those. you can find a list of reccomended ones in pins here or icy viens type sites

old flame
#

yeah i've got all the heroic trinkets I need, deco-flame icon, totem

#

even got the raz lightning ont

#

I think I'll grab the cloak, thanks guys

urban portal
sick sentinel
#

he has some low gear

#

u just activated my trap card

urban portal

7 ilevel

#

Which is likely just worse than socket

sick sentinel
#

yeah other option was horn or a socket

urban portal
#

Yes socket is prob better than 7 Ilvl in cape

sick sentinel
#

not entirely convinced but sim might say a few more dps i dunno

#

not sure how close it would be, but i imagine not a large difference

urban portal
#

You aren’t convinced by most things yogi

daring marlin
#

yogi is a free man

sick sentinel
#

and i guess it depends on slot, but for like, bracer cloak maybe belt have lower stat values so socket = more ilvl value compared to say chest

#

what is the ilvl for socket for both then say

scenic mural
#

Just sim, dont need feelycraft

violet flume
#

personally i like to get every slot to 421 then get gems later, even if it's a lower upgrade, you'll be closer to bis faster, but i guess 10.1 is around the corner so socket is prob smarter

Wish they would reverse the shield slam cleave. Make it happen for the first x seconds after you press LS instead of x seconds after LS ends

@ionic fern did you see the suggested explosive change yet

restive crown
ionic fern
ionic fern
warm plinth
#

So that's the original iteration. But then the health got a 30% nerf (they had like 680k HP at +20 and were spawning 2 at a time). And then today they said they did a health reduction (not sure if it's in addition to the 30% or not though), and said they're thinking about making it so instead of exploding for damage, they apply an absorb on all the mobs around them when they explode based on a % of the orb's remaining health.

#

Because people were basically going to just ignore them after the first changes since they had so much health

#

Which would've made it even more of a healer affix than it already is lol

restive crown
#

will it make a big difference in survivability if i switch all my haste/mastery crafted stats and gems to haste/vers? (since i am playing some fury also)

Hey, what's your take on this choice ? (last choice is 421 boots I already have)

#

"Take a socket" is an acceptable answer

modern brook
#

I'm confused

#

Why is 13 ilvls on a trinket you're already using not just the snap pick

#

6 I can't count point stands

Because taking the Ruby Whelp Shell is a +13 item level upgrade ?

It's a separate damage event.

Ah, I see

New name Mwahi? "S2 4-Set Is Not AoE Shield Slam"

ionic fern
#

Cool.

#

Rename yourself.

#

PRetty sure you can.

warm plinth
#

I can; I was asking if you approved lmao

ionic fern

No.

You can change your nickname in here now

It's hard to understand from the blue post how the 4pc works

No way

Next step, reactions. Then, global emojis. Then, the world.

This is the best thing to have ever happened to me

ionic fern
#

And you ruined it with your weird name.

modern brook
#

Smh

tbh I'm actually very thankful we don't have global emojis in here. I've seen enough of those crotch-grabbing emojis to last me a lifetime.

No, the problem is that "AoE SS" implies that it's Shield Slam, but on every target.

#

Which it's not

#

You press Shield Slam, and it procs a damage cone that is not Shield Slam

strong forum
#

Aoe can be understood as 360° circle

warm plinth
#

Think of it like Strike Twice. Everyone thinks the proc on that weapon is an extra hit. it's not. It's just a damage proc.

strong forum
#

The cone is... Well a cone

warm plinth
#

So we don't say it's an extra hit, because it's not.

ionic fern
#

HMMMMMMMM.
But is a cone still a cone if it's 359°

#

Or is it AoE then?

warm plinth
#

👀

ionic fern
#

That's why we have the Theorycrafter role.
So we can ask dumb questions from them.

modern brook
#

Getting a cone at 359 degrees is straight irresponsible tbh. You go for a bowl if it's thay hot out.

strong forum
#

359° is just a 99.9% circle

Glad I could help

I didn't know Thunderclap was a cone. My mind is still from WC3 that is 360 AoE 😬😅

modern brook

#

No

#

You misunderstood

#

The 4pc proc is a cone

#

Thunderclap is aoe, but the damage of it is comparable to the 4pc

#

TC is 42%
4pc is 45%

warm plinth
#

I will prepare some dumb questions for next time

#

Oh, it basiclly thunderclap with it's dmg but it's just an cone forward

#

I hope I get it now 😅

warm plinth
#

You'd basically have to try not to get it, to not get it

#

You can get a guaranteed piece by doing heroic raid or m+ to 2200 rating

#

And then the catalyst is free once it comes out

#

No currency or quest required. Just get a charge a week

I usually answer the dumb questions rather than ask them

ionic fern
#

To me, all questions are dumb.

#

Fite me.

warm plinth
#

Does this mean I'm a theorycrafter?

ionic fern
#

I'm just gonna feelycraft all answers from now on.

warm plinth
#

Seems like a solid plan with no possible negative repercussions.
