oh yeah the guy that asked earlier about 2 discord accounts lol
it was made long prior and for an entirely unrelated purpose
literal created like 2-3 years before any of what he mentioned i did, so wrong assumptions are still being made lol
Bruh how, just find a custom raid group farming the rares on the reach and get to 395 at least
Like it took me 3 hours on my monk in a rare farming raid to get enough upgrade tokens for 395
Idk if you can get a shield from the reach though..never tried
You can
Oh ok thank you! Im sorry if i ask stupid things but i dunno
was almost about to miss doing profession weeklies
We like questions, rather you ask than go flopping aimlessly and getting all distraught.
But yeah the forbidden reach is a solid catch up mechanics, since it gets you to approximately normal raid ilvl
good thing i remember
And you can convert the gear to tier
Ok great then! I just finish now the campaign with Tyr and i will go to reach after to join any group
Probably i will gear my alt pala like this
there is no weakaura to stell you when to use "spellblock" like the Spell Reflection wa or?
Nope, same reason there's no WA to tell you when to use SW or LS
Hi all, I'm new to retail for the most part. I got dragonflight, dinged 70 and got my Forbidden reach ring and a couple pieces of loot so far. What is the progression like for this loot?
need 9 more points wont have to pay for weapon repairs any more
The stones you put in the ring are upgradeable with items that jc can make, the gear you can get from the Forbidden reach starts at 385 and there is a knowledge drop that allows you to upgrade it to 395.
to speed up your gearing one of the 4 rep vendors near the daily quest gives you a bag you can buy for 2k elemental overflow which can give you zskera keys, more overflow, or a piece of gear
In the event no one knows - I changed my loot spec to Arms and got the Whet Stone first time. So if others do that, it may help
Yep whetstone is a DPS only drop, can't get it on the protection loot table
Literally found out today and boom....got it
Why 0_0 lol
Whetstone is a myth
obligatory I got whetstone week1 mention
Have 421 Whetstone with speed and 421 Whetstone on pally.
421 whetstone out of my first 421 vault slot
That was traded to you, cheater!
those shoulders are going to be absolutely massive on orc dude
like "an extra character width" massive
Qrd on this whetstone?
I've noticed retail has more buttons than I'm used to binding on classic.
So far I have
1-5
Shift 1-3
R,F
Shift R,F
Might have to make some more mouse binds.
yeah if you wanna be proficient youre gonna need 30++ keybinds
retail is magnitudes faster than classic
At least with my razor mouse I don't have to stress my left hand as much.
ergonomics is taking wrist movement and adding it to a thumb :^)
and then getting RSI on that thumb lol
I'm starting to need breaks every now and then. Boomer territory soon.
for real though, make an effort not to have anything rotational on your thumb buttons
posture + hydration checks own tbh
only thing i have on my mouse are Off GCD stuff
for prot tthats shield block and ip
I read that as Roberts space industries and got confused
Yeah good idea on the ogcds on mouse.
I've been lazy with my binds. I guess I'll take time this evening to sort em out.
here u go i solved every "too many bind" problem anyone will ever have ver
i did
but in my defense
i already really struggled drawing the squares
i think u did a great job
wtf
including b is suspicious
b is for BAG nom 😠
real
just use right hand for esc 
just press alt+f4
now you won
ctrlw

for real bro
If you have smol hands.
I have binds down as far as J & 7
ok there goliath
Actual truckosaurus hands
My guys thyroid is a ped for wow. Actually unfair
Yeah idk people being like "I can't reach 5"
Any good resources for learning M+ routes?
pressing W might be confusing for somebody who hasnt played retail
I mean wotlk was the original press W expansion
but it should get you through most dungeons by just pulling what ends up infront of you
Thunderclap on defensive stance, I almost cried
I WA screams at me if I'm in defensive
your what now
I use the basic bindings for stances so very unlikely to be accidentally pressed
But like we covered earlier
That a hard key for people with normal hands to hit
I've done m+ in shadowlands but I was doing it at launch
I just don't wanna be THAT tank
Def stance being a suggestion rather than a mandatory thing is odd.
why would it be odd
its 15%
its 1 key level
but the extra damage you do is also about 1 key level
I'm a classic andy
didnt defensive stance enable some spells
Yes
yeah they tried to get away from that
well the threat multiplier is there to compensate for the reduced damage
back then
now tanks get 650% threat baseline
So really anything that isn't m+ or big hits in raids I should just be in offensive stance?
battle stance should be your default
Consider it a defensive cooldown
Ok
And you pay for it in damage rather than time
There is an aura (hidden buff) that facilitates the aggro mod now
No, but I was more questioning what you meant by "stance pedal" lol
I'll occasionally forget to rebuff a stance on the rare occasion I feel like actually having a chance of dying and go fury for a key
Because my stance wa isn't active in fury
Look at dps meter, top in def stance.
It's over.
its 650%
and TC applies rend
so TC+rend+deep wounds is enough threat for a long while
A far cry from classic threat for sure.
What is the stun diminishing returns reset timer?
Like how many x seconds until it resets for e.g. stuns, fears
18 seconds(?)
18 seconds, yes
But it's from the end of the duration of the last CC of that category
So from shockwave cast to end of DR, it'd be 20 seconds (assuming no other stuns went out and yours was the first stun)
Why do you do this to me
Though tbh I know jack shit about the raid and that might actually be worth running on that fight
Just needed more damage on adds
wow so you can stay in 1st fucking gear like everyoneon every highway thats so pog

My favorite is the dude in the Corvette that comes to a complete stop making a open right turn
The car corners better at 60 than it does at 5
Playing the Mean Machines table on Slam Tilt on the Amiga (emulated) for HighScore.
a pinball game i used to own demo of as a kid
and it would only play this table and it would kick me out after exactly 5 or 10 minutes
but i could just restart the table forever
truly the best pinball video game of all time, table at least
what oes that have to do with a shifter
the entire table is about cars
@astral atlas I bought a shitty foot pedal for mashing maul on my feral druid in classic.
Was truly a meme

Is there a stronk build for adds on Broodkeeper?
m+
Bounding Stride is worth on adds right?
What’s the trick with keeping SB up 100%
Play the right talents, press buttons
There's no trick, it's very easy to do
Is it worth using when not actively tanking?
Yes, because it increases Shield Slam damage
If you're not running Heavy Repercussions, then in a raid setting when you're not tanking, you should use it enough that you're not wasting it, but not too much that you don't have it for when you're tanking again.
Im very new to warrior. So I’m just probably playing bad. But I don’t have enough haste maybe? I just can’t keep sb up 100% even with using last stand and SW when tanking
Are you talking about in keys or in raid?
Raid
You can run Heavy Repercussions to make it easier. Bolster won't be necessary
which prot warrior is you?
Ticagrelor
Does SEnnarth have adds up a lot?
Then you should not be using Barbaric Training or Bloodsurge
Swap Bloodsurge to Instigate
Barbaric Training is a minor DPS increase in AoE when you have spare rage for it, but it's not worth using on ST
just starves you for rage
How trucked am I for tanking Diurna on my warrior? 
its not that bad, you have to plan defensives and external usage
ye, you aint exactly goin to do much anyways without aoeing
just gotta be careful of overlaps with egg pops / tank debuff and its pretty chill
Is that a rotation helper?
Is that a cellphone pic
If it works for you that's good but you'll become reliant on it too much
Our rotation is very easy rn
Wat
It's diff categories depending on what you are doing, think it's buffs/aoe/single target
Sound like something that doesn't need to be there
Tbf it'll probably put them in the top 70% 
he has a bunch of stuff disabled
hekili isnt good out of the box
you gotta be a master like me to unlock the true power
bshout is obviously to bshout yourself
avatar is disabled because he doesnt have CDs enabled
same with ravager/roar
all in CDs that are disabled
does it take account of mechs that forces you off
technically wowanalyzer does that
trakcs missed gcds
bruh lmao
100%
Crafted gear sucks but whatever
If you put in some time you skyrocket that ilvl
I love it
crafted gear isnt too bad isnt it
cant you get all 5 sparks day 1
and just grind m+ for valor+chaos
you can probably hit 411 in 1 week if you are dedicated enough
yes
but i think he means the gold cost
and ye when making new toons, the Primal Focus takes ages to grind
50 dungeons for 5 items 💀
score is just 16 dungeons
can someone explain me why in such position I've took unblocked dmg from stoneslam? I had both shield block and spellblock active on this cast, was my positioning bad or what? Did not have such issue with any other casts, only this one, but i thought im standing properly front toward boss
Can u just link the log ahits unreadable:(
I just mean needing 10x 16 keys per crafted piece is all
Getting five 392+ off the rip is pretty good.
Definitely helps you jump into keys
why doesn't it have the stats for the hit? Should have posted the damage taken event, not the death event so we can see the mitigation numbers.
here it is, in addition all other stoneslams (physical part)
nope, it doesnt, it even shows icon that buff was there
Well idk what to tell you. You had to have been not facing the boss. are you 100% that the replay is from that specific one? And you don't turn from the boss anywhere close to the hit going off?
Or were you stunned or channeling a trinket or something?
yes, I was "pretty sure" about it after the pull, and then ive checked replay of positioning like six times in slowmo
I didnt have any stun and I dont use any channeling trinkets
I just desperately want to see yhe log instead of 75% of 3 lines from the log 4 different ways 😦
Yeah, same tbh
is the log replay direction even that accurate?
I'll dig in like 15, assuming it's not solved by then
is Mortal Stoneslam even blockable in the first place?
like its not on the Sense spreadsheet
so i doubt it is
physical portion is blockable, magical portion with spellblock
oh wait nvm the dmg taken says blocked 5/6
it is in the spreadhseet, its called mortal stoneclaws there as it called in p1 (it changes to stoneslam in p2)
Yeah you can see other events of it that he blocks
my only explanation is that the log is not tracking your face accurately
He doesn't block either hit either. Like that's gotta be the explanation but it's showing him facing that way so idk
and i have no clue how "accurate" the replay thing is
is it normal that the magic and physical dmg of the Stoneclaw is delayed by 0.3 seconds though?
like i never did Diurna Mythic
It's pretty typical of most abilities like that that the damage events aren't perfectly synced
Hakkar did the same shit
yea and I remember that i was facing the boss, I even have done melee hit at 8:06.2 and 8:07.7
Yeah he's hitting the boss all the way up to his death
ALRIGHT DORKS MAKE WAY FOR PROFESSIONAL LOG SLEUTH BLORDFANGO
*Blordfango
good catch
I know I was sometimes positioning badly, especially when moving to egg with laser or something, but that was heavily noticeable and I was aware of that while running, but in this moment Im sure I was fine in this matter
no
I know its 99.9% skill issue, but I just would like what exactly so I can avoid such mistake in future XD
damn and still 1.5min on Last Stand
but u definitely didnt got punched in the ass moving
he didn't move
u didnt move
And he was meleeing the boss literally in the same half second he died
Which means he can block
he moves like this
8^)
but the replay is saying he faces the boss
i had the wrong guy highlightled lmao
🤣
XD
^
Professional log sleuth Blordfango had the wrong guy highlighted 🧐
idk why im being bullied i wasnt wrong :^)

trying to post screenshot of the "edited" part, and its UBER small for some reason 🤣
my only explanation is he was moving to the right from 8.04-> 8.08, and the replay is not fast enough with the direction
but yeah idk @hardy snow I don't think you necessarily did anything wrong but I think that movement right before you died must have somehow registered as you facing away from the boss for a split second
and it just happened to be the split second the mechanic hit
it def has something to do with the movement
there's no other explanation
Ok, thanks for help, so I have to be more cautious when avoiding wildfire
direction on replay does look very choppy tbh
he melees the boss .2s after he eats the unblocked hit
im telling u with a vod we see his 1080 kick flip rotation and the answers he got hit in the ass
ye its either facing or some weird laggy shit with server ticks and when you put up block vs when you got hit
its super tight from getting block to the melee so could be either, hard to say without vod
I think we can safely blame spaghetti code this time but can't hurt to be a bit more proactive next time
so its combination of skill issue and small indie company 😄
doesnt look like there is a gap in his autos, so if he was facing away it was for less than 1sec
like 1.5sec between every auto up until death
Imagine causing a 3.8% wipe smh 😢
jkjk
but ye u drop SB at 08.03, and gain it at 08.07
Well, im fully aware it would be the kill 😐
oh wait ur running Bolster 🤔
isnt HR the play on Diurna?
(i heard, didnt personally do Diurna other than HC)
like idk, but tanking the boss for 4sec with no SB up seems kinda 😬 to me
its not a problem when she is casting
but it seems to be when she slams you right after block is back 😄
I haven't tanked a key on my warrior in like two months
like i was on adds, but my SB looks like this in HC Diurna 🤔
Think I will tonight for my one vault slot.
good affixes this week
terrible next one XD
I've just been slappin' on my prot pally
but honestly @hardy snow consider running HR + Instigate/Bloodsurge, its pretty good value on Diurna since ur tanking 24/7 basically
if progging at least
but its just my 2 cents from someone who is 0/8 Mythic 🤣
Still waiting for the community outrage of prot pally being op
Hint - the people who are outraged about warriors being OP, are the prot paladin mains
Happens a bit in how
But not on twitter
The only that happens there is complaints about no healer m+ runs
And pvp vs pve cosmetic reward structure
"Lets nerf leach instead of addressing the fact we made paladins unkillable"
I dont care about that
Whatsoever
Let em be strong, idc
It's just the barrage of bullshit we had to deal with
NO I mean, their reaction to healerless
But yeah anytime warriors are doing well, the other tank communities get a hair in their ass
and don't shut up
I think it's cool that dps have impactful off healing capabilities
But also
They nerfed the prot pally talent
From 250% increase based on HP, to 100% based on HP
So it'll still fully heal
unless you're using it on a BDK/Guardian/VDH
No one ran that talent anyway, unless you were specifically trying to do no healer runs
I don't even know if htey run it tbh
yeah
Again, no clue
WoG does plenty of healing without HotP
Eh
Hotp does make a huge diff
Instead of 150k wogs you can send 500k
That's pretty relevant
pretty frequently too
Not anymore you can't 😉
Ive been wogged for 350k pre-rework
So yeah pretty sure you still can
Our 5tank runs literally required both our paladins to run hotp
Back in January
But yeah the reason behind we won't see Paladins take the same level of shit as warriors did, is because people can accept BDK/Paladin to be OP because they're EXPECTED to be.
Nah
People just like them
People don't like prot warri
It's that simple
Prot pally is the most popular tank after bdk even when not meta
You can always see if when you check the 15-20 key range of any season
So, going back to what I said earlier about the people doing the complaining were literally the prot paladins
Despite prot pally not being represented as a top tank
Prot paladins were complaining about being strong?
They're gigantically popular in that key range
about warriors being preceived as stronger
The early season outrage folks tossed at us
Literally I have a stalker from the guardian discord because I said paladins were a better tank overall just before the first MDI
foaming at the mouth rage about the concept that warriors weren't OP demigods
I do if its based on misinformation and emotion rather than facts and objectivity
Aka unfair
I think popularity and the FotM players kinda killed warriors at the beginnning
That's what we call in statistics as an "Confirmation Bias" where they'd literally scream about how OP we were while pointing at like, the 3 times we can use SR
Chasing the FotM and being the only t ank completing 20+ keys really doesn't help any tank's case
But
Warriors are fine, the FOTM realized that paladins are a better tank overall
Literal the World 2nd +20 only 9minutes after the World first +20 Was done by a brewmaster
which has mostly been the case outside of like, the first 2-3 weeks where our sheer brickyness allowed keys ot be pushed a bit higher
When people screamed that brewmaster was unplayable
😄
That DPS tho
BRM could drop some bombs
even if they were a bit weaker defensively
The public mentality of "It's not #1 so it must be miles in last place"
or the fact that people are confused about the difference between "Tank balance" and "Tank Meta"
a spec can be just unkillable (BDK/VDH) but not the meta because they don't bring as much to the table (early on Rally, paladins literally having an answer for every mechanic ever)
Yep, only thing they lack is speed
I never get it like, people were screaming about warrior meanwhile BDK was just legit laughing at tank mechanics in Mythic raid
Oh right
because Sense did like 60k DPS
that was their biggest complaint
in that first week
was this a normal or something?
Leveling Yogi
that has to be leveling or extremely low dungeons at 70
Or timewalking
Lvling I’m only 62
Trying to tank to speed up my Lvling
doing prot in dungeons is a good way to do it
Yea
I’m learning a lot more
Can I use the same build as mythics in dungeons?
Or does it not matter
Yea just working on getting the build going
I'd probably go with this for level 62
No weird talents that you won't take at max level. Just giving you the ones that'll probably be more useful first
since shit will die fast in normals
Ok
So you went into the least popular tank's discord and tried to act like PWar wasn't that strong?
And were shocked people got on your case?
But like
He was right, though
On top of that, you shouldn't follow people between servers just to get on their case
That's actual harassment
Who did that?
That's what he inplied with the "Literally I have a stalker" part
That being said, that's also happened before with someone else in a different situation
Iirc someone got angry at someone else, got banned from Peak of Serenity iirc, and came here to publically harass the same person
Yeah I agree if the person was jumping from discord to discord bugging @uneven mason
so i at least have prior experience to think that statement isn't actually just hyperbole
If that person hasn't said anything in other discords though to or about him, then it becomes the reverse situation.
What in the actual fuck does that even mean

He's saying people won't complain about Pala being OP because it's popular.
Which is ironic in itself in the middle of a conversation about Pally being op.
Yeah apparently no one complained about BDK being OP in S3/S4 of SL.

Yeah not even one person amirite
or S1 of BFA with busted ass Bonestorm.
When you say multiple hyperbolic statements it makes it hard to take any statement at face value, that's why I questioned the "literal stalker" comment.
No one played back then tho
I certainly didn't but heard about it
my take is that bdk is only really op when its played well
and relies on group through it doesn't do crap for dmg
does good aoe, groups everything lives long time but its a skill class low dpsso its avoided
this guy plays a bdk, you can tell because its a wheelchair which is colored red and he has his own protective bubble to hide inside of (ams/amz)
trying to explain to my RL that holding pots for after shield on rasz doesnt make sense, anyone got a good argument cause I cant convince him
Not even close
I hope Blizz counted it in-game 
LUL
my armory is just showing my fortified 23
which was 55 seconds left on the timer
I'd say blood dk is definitely in an unhealthy state for the game because it's fully self sustained with a lot of overhealing no matter the incoming damage without fully investing into defence, it's not meta in keys because it does low damage and has poor utility but in raids there is def something not quite right about the spec (not even mentioning the cheese with death advance and ams)
No, I mentioned that paladin was a better overall tank, never said warrior wasn't strong, just that paladin was better overall.
It means that in general people don't lose their shit when the top tank is one of those, not to the level of the negativity warriors get.
It's like "Oh BDK is OP again, business as usual"
That's some schizo shit right there my man.

I think you're overestimating the negativity towards prot warriors, it has bad press because it was very overpowered compared to other tanks at release and a lot of ppl felt forced to play it/lots of ppl made an alt prot warrior and a lot of clowning ensuing, but there is no targeted hate against the spec
🤔 Is it though?
i doubt this stalker accusation more and more
it wasn't overpowered on release lmao what
ppal was absurd on release it just had a bad vibe from being bugged as fuck on beta
This is the same weirdo shit that happened in S2 of BFA. People bitched about Prot Warrior damage in S2 despite the fact they were doing GIGA DAM in S1 too. It was just clunky as fuck cuz IP was on the GCD.
brm was great just requires more then 5 braincells to play well
Didn't gain any fucking utility in S2 compared to S1 just slightly more damage.
but all through S1 of BFA "muh utility, muh viability"
I'd say being able to block rocks was utility
it took a few nerfs and major buffs to other specs to bring them in line and most guild in the rwf were running double prot warrior it's safe to say it was op
The point was that people complain about the top tank being OP no matter who it is
pallies couldn't block them either
No, they just had much better mitigation tools outside of block
I know, I was there.
Apparently not cuz muh paladins better tools or w/e
pallies were dog in S1 BFA
frankly most of BFA pallies were dog tanks
Well the thing is the affix was reaping and prot warrior was insane for it, and the strongest m+ specs being outlaw and ww made the shout valuable
reaping? that bullshit people chose to skip eventually?
prot warrior just continued to do good damage
100k DPS when DPS were doing 50k, was good times,.
reaping pad
Freehold 1st boss pull
Hey guys! I have maybe a simple question: What crafted piece would you upgrade first: lariat or 1H?
Wep easily
By a long shot
It's the only source of weapon damage and actually gives primary
prot warrior feels so safe in keys with the tier set
i pref prot warr on fort weeks and ppal on tyr weeks
Hey guys I’m looking for a fun guild to join for my prot warrior
only unfun guilds in here
I'm so glad shield charge is good to use again
when was it not good to use 🤔
There was points in beta when it just wasn't good enough. I'm not sure what changed, have been playing evoker mostly
If
If anything it's worse than beta
It's on the GCD in melee now instead off 100% off the GCD loke beta
they just cranked up the numbers
thats it
Any idea how the 10.1 tier set changes play style? Do we use LS any differently now?
You'll likely LS on cooldown, that's about it
I tanked the first two wings of the raid tonight and it went well once I got explained the mechanics
I died to kurog once and council once
i've been doing halls on mythic 19.. onto Hyrja.. when do the eye of the storm everyone is taking damage.. and they blame me for not doing the inversion strategy what is that.. i thought we just ping pong from one side to another once the cast finishes
that strat is really not needed for a 19 at all
if they die they bad
the healer can't heal through that dps died and end up blaminjg me
i'm like what did i do to make u all die

that inversion strat is not at all intended to do
This is the "strat".
by blizz
But again..definitely not needed on a 19.
so making it "impossible" on a 19 is stupid
They are just bad and everyone always like to blame the tank.
i can't help them if they die and not me
learning the strat does make the fight easier for sure - but you're delusional if you think it's a necessity for a 19
blame healers and dps who don't use defensives and heals
I don't even think people necessarily use the swap for like, 25 tyrannical
Anyone tested prot in m+ on ptr? tier set looks dope, but not sure about the numbers
It's horrible.
You're welcome.
It's not going to break the class, but strength is relative to the other tanks
Je, we still gigachad.
Just run 2/2 and you're gucci.
wait 2p vault and 2 abberus? you think that's gonna stick?
Ok this is dope they made heritage weapons for the dark iron! Are they doing this for all the allied races now
don't all of them have it?
Not sure
As long as the 4pc remains this bad and the vault set remains active, that'll be the way to go
No, they do not all have heritage weapons
don't say this to me Mwahi 
hello friends i have a statistical question - the ring pin refers to top tier players - at what IO does this apply
its not io, its how good you play offense of your class
4k io
ergawarrior am i a good pwar if i used codex or am i tarnished forever
surely higher io indicates some level of proficiency
io indicates how good you and your team perform in keys, ring pin refers to how good you perform with your class, there is correlation between these two, but still thats different things
ah i do recall some talks last expansion of how an mdi winning tank was boosted. good times


Literally says in the pin "if you do 60-70k overall regularily"
What if i deal 50-80k
Then you're looking at 2 different dungeons
80k in sbg sheesh
80k in rlp
Smbg is the lowest dps dungeon where 60k is top end, higher obv possible
I miss plaguefall
equinox postin his 120k RLPs 
I dont
40% dmg on whelps 
It's ok i meant 180k in rlp
Dungeons built around cheesing mobs arent fun
Yes they are
Same with SoB in BFA
hi c:
A dungeon that kills itself is garbage Design
reaping cannons
Sorry not mario
NW, plaguefall, sob, Tod
I remember me and some friends learnt the slime plague thing if you just walked away from it
Next week we see it in the mdi
Based
All garbage dungeons
reminds me of when we snapped av first room on last boss

Pf>
odyns fury uh
Wha
ye
Jy sleepge
jy my beloved without it touristy wouldnt have popped off
I didn't mind JY as much cuz it's not funneling all pulls around this 1 mechanic
You just did more dmg
sorry i'm new to discord, i've been playing warrior tank since the end of shadowlands and wanted to know if it's a solid choice for 10.1, my average key range varies between 22 and 24, nothing great
Sl dungs were unironically bussin
Prot will remain firm in its current position in 10.1
The only tank to avoid playing unless you want to is bear
notes
Funny
thx c:
You'll still do absolutely fine (on bear) in all content but it's the absolutely most neglected thing in DF
Oops

@lucid pasture

Seems like the word "surely" is the new gamer top buzzword to use
Shirley
next to viable
wow gamers love viable
That one is actually justified
SURELY my class is viable
Cuz lots of people think anything that isn't meta isn't playable whatsoever
i mean okay
Justified?
There's like 37 different meanings of viable
Especially what you said is just one of the definitions
if you got a car that on average is faster and turns better and brakes faster better shifting and so you can complete some grand turismo race in 57 seconds instead of a minute 10
Wow people love viable
sin rogue is a viable option to deplete a keystone
like, aren't you an idiot for taking the car that completes in minute 10?
when instead you could have just taken the one thats 13 seconds faster
I mean anything is technically viable since every class spec and build is playable

the thing is, most of people dont compete in such grand turismo
its just so much so very clear to me
For 99%of content, yes
why, class get buffed, ppl say this is the one to play
Yogi done a 20 yet?
????????
that's virgin content i cant even lie lol
If you don't agree with that then idk
whats chad content then yogi
whenever i think of a +20 or a mythic raid boss
i think of the stereotypical wow person
negative-ish one
is it pet battles
+20s are virgin content
Virginia content
overrated state
Real
i dunno, i thought about doing 20's but, yeah, i dunno
just not interested in wow atm
Not good enough?
just dont give a fuck enough to do it
too much stress for not enough output
it feels great to beat some higher lvl key then you did
but im not gunna put my self through my own personal hell of i have to press my buttons and then im also relying on team to press buttons
thats like hell squared
M+ is just loot source 
if i really wanted to i could do 20's

if you put me in a box with a computer and a gun to my head and said run a 20 i'd probably 3 chest it
but i just don't give a crap enough to on my own un-provoked

so if it was full automatic could you race to worldfirst
Even in your gear you could probably do em with eyes closed
11 miuls
That's kinda what happens when the only change you've received since late beta is a nerf to a talent that made you deal good damage
Man vdh bm druid
I mena
Druid did get alot of changes
Sadly shit ones
An attempt was made, in the wrong direction
its pretty rare that such numbers are more equal in top .1%, usually in this range if class can perform just 3% better then other - you take the better one
But also this
An attempt was made, you play evoker
first of all - bear tree was shit from very begining, and when main designer left, there were no hope for bears unfortunately
also ppal has more than double of prot warrior and we're like... extremely good
Your point?
Go back in time 3 months and you'd only see prot warriors
Real
Fotm do be like that
ya ppal was slept on then the changes just made people go crazy
Ppal wasn't slept on
I don't play at all
Lol
Not in the last 4 weeks no
people weren't playing it nearly as much before so idk what you mean 
i do 1-4 keys a week now and 3k rep quest
It wasn't slept on you dingus
i could do a turn in key but thats only thing i have left now
that i want to do
i should add that
Pwarr was just 10x easier and was better in a lot of aspects
ppal famous for difficulty chatting
In what aspect was prot better
To say ppal was slept on is basically like saying yea evoker was slept on in the start of the tier because not everyone played ot

The only I can think of is single target dps
Real
i come mw
Yea Nome also you log on
5 healer key
Pally was slept on in m+ until Andy and kiea unzipped it for WF 27s, then everybody and their mom rerolled

clearly has nothing to do with tuning change on shaman
If not for thaner nobody would've tried 29s on it
He even played it before the buffs
What
Cuz prevoker was bugged for a few days
Yea nothing to do with shaman tuning or nothing
why would anybody play shaman rn when there is dragons
Ofc it has to do with tuning
im not sure
But nobody would've given it a serious shot if thaner didn't prove that it was good
someone will do it eventually
EVOKER IS HERO CLASS OF SHAMAN - hot yogi takes
Eventually ofc
am i wrong?
Ok but why are you giving all the credit to Andy's team
As Phil said
Someone will eventually do it
And more and more people will realise it's not shit
because people are chimps and follow the norms others put forth
Cuz it happens time and time again, they copy r1
Because it wasn't after the tunings
soda fighting another losing battle
I mean holy moly man
good pfp ergo
:3
whos a what
The design is very human

the opposite of bear druid
i didnt realiz it also has sound but okay lol
not even a sonic video wtf

me when doing +20 (here's your yogi sonic video)
just win the race, i dont care what it takes
so never
well, if you watch the full music video
you'll see he actually does win the race
so its, not impossible
well, if you think about it: it's the best title season for bear druids so far: SL S3 5 in US and 0 in EU, S4 was 1/0. (all according to Raider IO Cutoffs and leaderboards).
very funny
S2 in SL was better for bears
title was introduced in S3 iirc. Which is why I wrote "title season"
So best title season of... three. -_-
Even if Bear was second best tank, it'd have low representation.
I leveled my bear to 70 this weekend and did a nice 20 AA for a weekly; its pretty fun and incarn is a blast 😄
100% the best tank CD (or at least the most satisfying)
It better be for costing 5 points
totally worth it
feels good to also have some CDR on it 😄
but this is the perfect toon to do my 2 week KSM+Dungeon Portals on 
and we got a siq rat alt line up: Bear, Frost DK, Destro Lock, Ele Shaman and insert poor sod healer
I myself enjoy nocarn since it's a bit more sturdy outside of the 2m window
was added in s2, tormented hero
But yeah bear is my favorite after war
s2 also had the best title
Do You Guys think that new crafted cloak will be good for Mythic+? I am only pugging so that shield could be a life saving since not all healers are aware when warriors need healing.
I am planning on using new crafted shield + cloak ( I am bored of Lariat )
Hello sense
I mean that's at best 1500hps? I suppose the shield actually triggers appropriate times...
Looks garbage random shield for not much can proc once every 2 mins randomly that aint saving u
Well maybe not random
👋
But what if u just dip below 30 on a just before a pull where u really need it
Yeah it's at least not random but a 2 min CD on 1.5 casts of ip
Not going to be worth
I guess the idea would be that "it's free"
Yer but its the same agrument ppl used on like the shield ring, or flame
Its just not worth it really
Buuuut if you're at 30% on pwar shits gone sideways
The shield isnt that big
And most likely you would have proced it already when u need it
looks interesting... but we'll see what the opportunity cost is
Thats how i veiw it anyway
The damage from one of the other embellishments
Yep it's 1-2% DPS versus that shield.
there might be other cool embellishments that arent just damage... maybe
idk, we'll see

Not damage - cool, I don't follow
numerically it looks weak but that's probably because the ilvl
It's because it's a small absorb
which would be on par with all other embellishments
It gains approximately 1k on the absorb per ilvl
No one is claiming it'll be great let's be clear
It's not insubstantial, sure I would probably use it if I don't need to do fire damage anymore
It's more likely gonna be just as irrelevant as any other embellishment
Especially on my bear
Since that's about the only weak spot I feel on guardian is a "oops I fucked up" tool
Do not forget that for people who raid the alternative is SIGNIFICANTLY better
What alternative?
And there will be other items for our sparks of shadowflame to upgrade first
Isn't there a cloak from the raid that doesn't have stam but has a proc attached to it?
oh yeah the stat stealing one
This epic cloak of item level 431 goes in the "Back" slot. It is looted from Scalecommander Sarkareth. In the Cloaks category. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.
There you go
This looks very strong to me
here it is at max crafted lvl if wowhead tooltips are correct
Well that looks better
and thats this new shield
The 70% health part has big troll racial energy
yes, three new crafted items drops from raid (any boss)
If those numbers are correct that cloak is slightly interesting
the issue with the shield is that it doesnt have haste 
even if they are correct, they can still be changed at any moment 😉
Yea but the effect does not look op so it won t be changed for the worse
Plus you ll have to think what you re using new sparks for anyway
45k damage split every 2 minutes doesnt sound particularly attractive to me
I think ppm on this item means gathering stack, not the kaboom effect.
it's not supposed to
As item's proc is gathering stack. Dmg is just due to gathered stacks.
i mean the boom happens after getting to 5 stacks so its half dozen of one 6 of the other tbh
This is bull crap
that would be ~two explosions per minute, not great, not bad, around 1,5k dps
Like let it drop from m+ chests and world shit too
how are you getting 2 booms /minute?
I have a decked tailor who raids if I want the cloak
Fucking making no raid crafters pay 500k for a pattern
Just don't be broke
oh, dont mind me, im dumb and ive read it opposite way XD
still paitently waiting for my ultimate elemental potion pattern :^)
I'm not, because I don't pay 500k for a damn crafting pattern
Or do not buy the pattern buy the craft itself
you do realize some people that pay such amount are doing it for investment purposes?
I'd like to make the money from selling the craft, but raiding isn't in the cards
You'd make it back easily
Then it is not happening
You'd be very hard pressed to make back half a million on the crafting pattern
People don't commission for shit even on the dropped patterns
nah, 500k is for a pattern for pretty demanded item
and on crafts you dont only earn on commission
Half a million you can make back in a week max if you know what are you doing
this shield or cloak will be pretty cheap patterns
my s1 crafting investments would suggest otherwise
People paid gold cap on lariat pattern and made multiple gold caps
I think the only pattern that may have hit that much would have been lariat
at this point in the season?
spending money on professions is a waste tbh
you're literally just gambling scamming some new player who doesnt get how the tipping works
no one is saying at this point in the season
read what people are saying
Do you think the 447 upgrades will be made for free next season?
What?
Pretty close to it
Yea good luck
I have full weapon full armor bs I expect to make a couple of milions first month of next season
Especially as I have enchanting so I will be able to make the enchanted crests so I can offer full package
You make your proffesion money first weeks in a season then you wind down and play the game
Rinse and repeat
It will be quite different this season, as lot of crafters have already maxxed stats.
In S1 when you were first two reach such possibility, you were able to charge alot
and few more folks after you could charge same, as people were buying it anyway
remember that's because lariat had a bugged drop
On big enough servers you ll still make your money not as much but you will do
Now starting price will be high again, as people are willing to pay it, but it will drop much faster due to bigger rivalry on the market.
Enchanted crests will be the thing i guess.
That is true but you ll still make a pretty penny
I m happy making let s say 2 3 million at the beginning
Then I ll wind down
Competition will be fierce
It s a bloodbath on trade
of course, I was hoping to earn some on crafting Q3 pots with insight, but Blizz decided to make it not bop anymore, so as alchemist I have nothing interesting to craft through orders 😦
447 trinkets
yeah this
You just work in that window when prices are high
Right so when you have someone who can grab the pattern for free, vs having to start at a massive deficit - that was the gripe.
It is what it is
World isn't fair.
Unfortunately the unfairness of the world chases you even in games
Tbh a lot of our crafted gear will have to be stashed in the bank because of the new sparks
It's a comment on oversight in an era where they've tried to move the focus away from exclusively making things only available for raiders
To be fair, your original comment was a question, which could easily be read as you thinking people might be implying at this point in the season. Pretty simple misunderstanding if that's the case. Unless of course you were making a completely separate point from the conversation at hand, but then again that also seems like a simple misunderstanding.
You might have to not use lariat for a while next season
Don't even bother they're clearly someone that has past beef with me (that I don't know about).
its not soulbound, so its available for everyone on certain circumstances
its not free
first, you have to raid and be lucky to get it
second, you can still sell it instead of using it
so if a recipe is worth for example 100k
even if you get it from drop, you are still 100k behind by not selling it (minus ah tax)
so with crafting from this recipe you still have to overcome this 100k deficit
I can see where Ika is coming from though. Make there be M+ only patterns if you're gonna have Raid only patterns.
or make the same patterns available either way
Alternatively, you could probably get it from LFR.
This was more the root of it, I can knock out a dozen dungeons in a week but I don't have a schedule that allows for organized raiding currently, and pugging has not been pleasant.
so you can buy it on ah, there is no difference in terms of profits
I feel like you're kinda missing the point Jawor and circling back won't do any good.
The difference is in the timing - selling the actual product when supply is signficantly scarcer than demand makes money significantly faster, even if you include the opprotunity cost of not selling the recipe at the time. doubled down by the fact that the recipe can drop for you again, and you can just sell that. codex is sitting strong at like 650k still on my server
Yet lot of people sells such recipes even if its more profitable to craft. Mostly because there are alot of people that dont work that much on professions 😉

The main gripe is accessibility which does not care about whether you can buy it or not.
Generally speaking, it feels bad when there's only one main way of obtaining something pivotal in the game.
(See: Ele Shaman's BiS legendary being off of a World Boss in SL)
well, legendary powers in SL is a totally different thing and Blizz fked up this totally 😄
"we learned our lesson from legion legendaries and made it so obtaining the patterns are predictable....once every 4 weeks, because we hate Ion"
No legendary powers falls under the same scope
as
It feels bad when there's only one main source of obtaining something pivotal in the game.
Much like this cloak recipe.
Remember stormbolt in mists...
