He's just the one that ranks everyone else, not WCL, Sense.
I bet he didn't even try to get it too
"just my weekly +30 keys for vault".
If we're doing keys together yeah, but we don't do keys all that often together
"we started with a +2 for valor and couldn't be fucked to remake the group so we ended up in +27, when I realized we still had this 365 mage with us" - 
Otherwise I'll be on an alt (healy Priest or DH/Hunter
)
I've somehow ended up really enjoying the two dps classes that infuriate me to no end when I'm tanking
Dumb question, is there any chance we'll be able to change weekly vault tokens for sparks again? Crafter gear sounds a better option than most of what a weekly chest can offer
I've played it for leveling but tbh I just really like holy and disc
Also Priest made out like bandits this tier
Dh and hunter?
Yeah
Sometimes you just need to turn off the brain
I despise DH's..Hunters are in the 2nd spot. Just dashing into frontals or using The Hunt before i reach the mobs and then they complain.

Me when tanking: "God I fucking hate DHs so much all of them are brainless apes who don't understand anything other than go in and press meta and wonder why they die when they're standing on the tank who has a marker and eating frontals... AND THEYRE TERRORISTS WITH AOES"
Me on my DH: "haha death sweep go brrr"
At least I main MM on my hunter so I am able to avoid the brainless pepega BM bullshit I hate about it
Explosive shot is pure dopamine
Isn't MM gimped with 5+ targets?
Explosive Shot is uncapped, but otherwise yeah
Requires 3+ targets for Trick Shots to proc and that has a cap
I mean it deals reduced damage at 6+
But that doesn't really matter when it explodes and you're suddenly doing 250k
My biggest gripe with playing dps is that even if i level one,i can't get to m+ groups cause i got no io and i'm competing against 200 people.
Don't have the time to wait around for groups.
That's my only issue with them too

I'll usually just run my own key or play another game until friends are around to run stuff
Je,playing with a group will make it a lot easier.
Gotta get that 3.5k score to get into a +20 and even then you get declined cause "sorry,you're not a fotm class".

Try asking people looking for specific classes..you get some wild responses. Dm'ed a person looking for a prot pally for a +20 regarding why prot pally..he said because they are good..i asked why are they good..and got /ignored.
Good times.

Classic
My favorite is the "hey yeah I know you're 415 and 2800 io but you're not a paladin so I'm not gonna invite you to this 16"
Jep. Good old pug logic. I wanna know what goes through their heads and how they make decisions irl.
Facts
I tried to pug some 24s I’m missing yesterday and was getting declined to every single one by 2800-2900 sbg/cos heroes
smh this guys only 2800 and wrote the guides for the spec hes playing probably trsh tbh
Then I was like fuck it let’s have some fun in 20s and still was getting declined to some of them
I run into enough people trying to explain their actions that I know that I don't want to know what goes through their heads, but I need to for my sake of not dying
"X youtuber/streamer told me Y is trash so I can't bring it at all"
That's it
“This guy wrote the guide, he’s probably trash”

All this META CLASS ONLY PLAYABLE is so tiresome
hierlooms go to 70 now?
Yes
why this wasnt in 10.0 on the official patch day day or like, 2 weeks from then
is totally beyond me
For as long as we have data and the content creators to spread there opinions we will have the meta slaves.. it’s just the way it goes nothing will really fix it..
even if we didn't, people would find a way
The community has adopted a mindset that you can’t succeed unless you have the top 5 specs
Well clickbait content like that is also just how shit like YouTube works
Yes, it's the plebs that are the issue!
Top tank/top healer/top 3 dps
where do i find more information about how to get upgrades
that every class is good etc
or is it same location and gold
Also keep in mind you really only have fotm slave problems at the mid range keys and the very high end keys
but ppl are simply too lazy to use their own brain
is this all in response to drat/tettles raid tank tier list
Nah, Mwahi was just saying why he doesn't like to play DPS
I've been declined from +2s before back in S4 SL as a Prot War before because "we can't clear with a war" according to the group lead when I asked
No muse more or less just conversating
I saw someone looking for specifically a Ppal for a 20
which is fine imo
it has CR
which is not the communitys fault
but i think a pug key needs CR
So as an example, If a group thinks they can’t clear a +20 because you’re not on the meta tank they probably have a really slim shot of completing it anyway. So you dodged a bullet
There’s no world where you need a meta tank for anything lower than a 25
^
It’s acceptable to want the best classes at the “bleeding edge” keys but anything else it’s irrelevant
If you're in a position where you have to pug your keys, you're better off not playing wow -tbh
rgr i saw their video this morning and turned it off because there wasn't enough caffeine in me to process that shit lmao
ppl that pug to 3k are finsubs
finsubs?
ya, if they got the heirlooms to 70 now, now im interested
I pugged 2850 and really wanted to do 3k but I was to late to the party.. I had pretty much nothing but shit show groups for the past 4-5 weeks LOL
So I was like ehh so what, it’s not in title range anyway so no big deal
Guardian druids and bdks have bres too but I can assure you they weren’t gonna invite them
i mean there are like 10 guardians on the server
and 1 played the entire season with me
so 9 left
obviously u look out for a paladin then
not that hes also carrying hard in the interrupt department
My co tank is a 3k guardian they do exist
which is really a struggle for pugs
dpsDK is your best friend in any keythough
financial submissives
they are so god damn handy as warrior
to literal pull shit to you
some caster dickhead fucker
casting 30 icebolts ina row
i pugged to 2800 😂
you're in the clear
I really enjoy running with priest/DK
3k is the cut off 
im too old to deal with all the grief from ppl in discords/guilds
so i just prefer to play on my own now
Rip I didn’t make it
Oh I wait I’m not a financial submissive because I’m below 3k
Bet
I’m in the clear

I’d rather pour bleach in my eyes and stub my toes on a sewing needle individually than pug to 3k
Honestly if you're early in the season and pugging higher, it's not too bad
When I did 21s it was pretty much like a 1/3 success rate
But mileage will vary ofc
I'm very glad this sentence came to be
20s actually get harder over the season
Cause all the people doing 20s early on are doing 25s by the end, and all the people doing 14s early on are doing 20s by the end
Where essentially the middle management andies are doing keys and its just hell
Right at some point you’re better off farming 21s to avoid the “barely do 20s” players
Yeah
Almost timed a 21 HoV the other day but the groups top dps was doing under 70k and one of the dps had 2 interrupts over the entire key

my favorite pug moment is when you're in a tyranical
Sounds like most 20s I've ever run
and you're on the first boss
and its 4 minutes later and the boss isnt dead
and you're like "oh man its gunna be one of those"
Yep
" shit tank died to tank buster (at the 6 minute mark)"
I always love the people who do negative dps as well as don't use any utility
They're my favorite
I too love dh
Yeah, or when the entire group dies cause they didn’t interrupt at all, and you’re sitting there living for like 50 seconds while they run back and you die right before they arrive and then it’s your fault
Spriests PIing themselves with the talent? Hell yeah brother
Love DHs not using Darkness or Blur
Or CC
Etc
It's great
in DHs defense they have to like use momentum to be able to perform 30k lower than their sim
4 minutes into Tyr Hyrja as a Disc Priest with every dps having defensive available and not one using them on the storm
Is just the best
Not an excuse tbh I play dh now 
Just beat ur sim 4head
Wonder if there's a tattle tell add-on that lists all the CD someone had available when they die
"Soandso ate tiles while saving his health stone, enraged Regen and defensive stance for a rainy day"
I used to be able too, now I’m washed
imma try to get my weekly shit done, see about those upgrade tokens
There's add-ons that will track peoples' CDs
You just have to look
I use them when I'm tanking to track how big I can pull and when in Healing to get mad at dps for dying when Turtle is up and they could've immuned something
bro i HATE these addons
"you know what will get people to get out of fire on the ground? covering their screen with a giant chat bubble"
OmniCD has this sort of setup, pretty customizable, it's nice
lets go Marge
Run it as a emote to avoid chat bubbles
Yah thats just it either 1) its a chat bubble and is horribly invasive or 2) its not a chat bubble and it does literally nothing that just referencing damage taken in details wouldnt
legit i saw mario bros lvl 1-1 for a few frames
pipe, bricks, sky, bit of red
I'm going for comedy, not function
LOL
if i do 2 more mythics, does this count to 0/5?
Mythic and heroic dungeons are different
damn, cuz i gotta do, a mythic, a mythic 15 to 20, then 5 heroic dungeons, gd-it
My favorite is when w to the boss then my entire group is dead
i still have to be mentally and physically present for it, takes like, an hour maybe
Just kill boss
The heroics and M0 you don't really have to be
probably alot faster and less headache for group im carrying if i am
Chances are you're going to end up with a Chad DPS in your heroics who is going to w for you if you don't
I've gotten kicked for that 😦
in HoI specifically
Skill issues tbh
Yeah legit got to the last boss in a heroic AV and the healer was suddenly "stop trying to kick the tank just because he's carrying you faster than you can run ffs just take the free dungeon"
I did a heroic AV where the tank was a VDH doing the like +25 route, where u jump off first ring to skip both
Hoi "dh face tanks frogs, dies, goes wtf tank"
everyone was mad but me 🙂
Laughs in heroic leap
i was on my rogue but i had the shadow lands fall damage toy engineering thing
Those wind pots are handy too
yah true and real
I've noticed there's quite a difference between the rotation on IcyVeins and WowHead. The one on icyveins is much more offensive focused (ava->demo->rava->thunder->SS->TC->ExecuteORRevenge) than WowHeads
is there a preferred rotation that's published somewhere?
YOU CAN JUST WALK OVER IT
and the icy veins rotation seems to neglect shield block/SR altogether
didnt know it was this easy to skip in AV
Why would you use Sr rotationally
Yeah SB should be taken into consideration, idk never read either guide
We also don't have a rotation due to the way the spec works, it's a priority system
yeah buddy that's the frogless skip
SS TC revenge
yeah i didn't really mean that in the traditional sense, i just noticed it was absent
that makes sense
i dunno i've been struggling lately on prot - feeling squishy and kinda frustrated
Logs? Content?
sec
i've played so many video games that i just gave up on reaching some area of scenery and started 5heading shit
Frogs were free % after their HP was nerfed though
@uneven mason M+ i just feel like i'm getting chewed up with normal size pulls. Here's my sim. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/dY9MqPBoJ1D6Fsiob6FsM2
and logs i'll pull in one sec
you're 404 with a 398 shield in new k value land
Wtf is that shield accurate?
Bro
please tell me that's the problem
Shield should be highest ilvl item
We'll see
i think i don't really understand DR well enough
But like that is "A" problem
We're literally the block tank
this wouldve struggled before the kvalue bump in anything much higher than 18s
I'm not much higher but I'm toting a 424 cardoor
Should I just get a shield made?
or hold out for a specific drop?
I'm guessing the former
But could be an execution thing,. like we're tanky af, of you're spending into IP
yah log still worth digging into tbh
Like, if you're that low and not running hr, because the guide says itf, chances are you're getting decked outside of block
that sounds feasible. Generally I'm favoring SB when it's available, and using the SB -> IP macro
Since itf requires a lot of haste to not have SB gaps
IP when the mobs call for it
Wat
What SB IP macro
the one in pin
nvm i'm sorry, i got that confused
i think i have a lot to work on
gonna go just
take a nap
I gotta head to work
i'll be back - but thank you guys, you've given me a lot to think about
No external emoji, otherwise I'd be like "the more you know"
Oh God he's gonna leave us hanging without logs
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
great now what am i supposed to do? my job?
IKR
I think my favorite pug group season 1 was a 21 AA were all 3 dps did 120k and I did 94k
He doesn't have any logs
It's all leaderboard
fun fact having aotc gives you an omni token
less fun fact i havent killed raz on my warrior
😦
I know what todays gunna be
How do we best handle long periods of DoT's? Like Crawth's bleed. Coordinate with our healers?
die
IP Spam, pray
I'm not a religious man, but bosses like Crawth make me one
really just comes down to coordinating with healer ye, as long as you are using defensives properly it's rough af boss for us
not sad to see it go
Same
What were some other hard tank busters we needed to overcome? Lu 2nd phase Jade Strike?
That one
Second RLP boss could be tough too
Only three bosses this season that were really higher difficulty than the rest IMO
Those searing slashes were diesel!
only ones that ever really had me care/ pay close attention were green phase jade boss and crawth, everything else pretty comfy for me
Wordd coming off of Prot Pally I need to get my mindset right. Looking to main Warr moving forward. Very Proactive tank yes?
We've pretty much established that you get drunk and fall down stairs and end up having a timed +29 stuck in your ear though.
Yes, we don't react to damage after it happens.
You have to be aware and know what's coming to prepare for it, moreso than any other tank.
Sure we do - we die
I mean yes but that's more of a "well well well if it isn't the consequences of my inactions" than a real reaction
Essentially, it's hard to recover from a hole you've dug yourself into by not pressing buttons but as long as you're pressing buttons when you should
You'll never dig your own grave
Yeah basically if you’re half health for any reason other than a tank buster you are scared
Is forgestorm out BIS weapon this season?
Worddd this is some good talk, How's the tier set looking for us?
Acceptable
It wasn’t on the Dg bis list on wowhead so I was confused
I can’t believe it’s not tbh
Bis lists don't generally include m+ items because it's vault luck to target them
Fair enough
Afaik
Generally yes however unless I missed some convo in here 441 pogstorm smokes everything else? Even 450 weapons
THERE'S A SNAIL MOUNT?
maybe
Idk if you saw noms screenshot the other day
That’s 441 pogstorm vs theoretical 450 strike twice
Yeah it’s a reference point
thats a good reference
Gottcha
I shouldn’t have any issues doing 7s at 404 ilvl right? Like come Tuesday spam nelth over and over hoping for a drop until it comes in vault later on lol
I assume the % drop is at most 5 lvls so if you can do a 12 rn you can easily do a 7
I haven’t tried any m+ on my warrior
Typically not a m+ enjoyer. I do it for gear when needed and score for KSM
closer to 3
My 405 druid could do a 12 TJS so I mean I’m sure my warrior could do a comparable key
y u should
😭😭
I’m bad tho. I think I just end up with less than good groups half the time.
Fort bolster?! Ewwwie that is ick
SBG is really easy tho
you can wipe a lot and time it
as a tank i feel the only scary stuff is the skeletons
imagine those slappers before 1st boss if you miss step and hit, ouch
although bolstering not increasing damage next season feelsgoodman
TFW doing 14s at 367 in a guardian
there's also teh rest of the group tho
yeah but like i said you can wipe a lot and time it
which sure wasn't low
its not like AA where one wipe means no timer on +20
SBG and CoS the timer is super lenient
I’m actually looking more forward to season 2 dungeons than season 1
I wasn’t a big fan of most of season 1 dungeons
S2 dungeons
dont worry they only get worse
seem horrid.
I think they are better
and all DF dungeons looked pretty garbo
Freehold/UR are fine.
Bfa dungeons own
im pretty sure brackhollow has more mechanics in it than all of S1 dungeons combined
DF dungeons look horrid.
like the worst 3 of the DF dungeons are this season
I am ok with linear longer dungeons though so I know I am an outlier
Can't wait to take group fear break because pugs can't be fucked to kick
I will say I think picking good group going to be more important this season
Nah
Ya
Just going to be more tank carrying
i tanked my first mythics on my prot warrior
Maybe im just wrong on all accounts
rookie mistake
its so funny how people only remember freehold with the bfa S4 affix
and will be surprised how fucking dogshit this dungeon is without shroud/vanish/feign etc
the entire fun of fh is basically the first pull
i skipped bfa so i dont remember freehold at all 
I mean you can invis pot a lot there too
Wow let’s just hold w like monkeys 🙈
now hold on a second
you dont even hafta do the captain rp shit right?
Why I joined an all druid guild so I can secretly just have my warrior tank with 4 guardians running atwf for heals
so you can just W
I only ever follow the Dratnos approved route
Nothin worse than a routelord
Best routlord is the one in a +7 who's like "let's do the MDI skip"
Proceeds to face pull literally everything then rage quit the key
“My way or the highway” people suck ass
ive played 3 full seasons of BFA without any kind of invis skips
FH is still nice 🙂
Agreed
and a turtle
i despise rogue and invis skips
I like turtles
so nothing changes for me
Except Eudora weeks were sketch
eudora tyrannical weeks
sadge
is the first boss playable this time?
they fixed eudora and fist boss
I meant in bfa, goofy man!
I suspect leavers going to be at all time highs that’s why I was saying picking good groups going to be important this season
or we still have to hide on any reasonable key level
Always has beem.
Right 
whats gonna be at a all time high is sale runs
eudora and first boss no longer do all their dmg as 1 hit, instead they leave a dot and have lower impact dmg
Jep.
business gonna be boomin
Well yeah that too lol. Do people even level their own characters anymore
I know people who buy 20 sales cause they dont want to deal with group finder
Lol
they arent bad players.... they just dont want to deal with it
wtf lol
or have a alt they cant be bothered to train up
That’s wild
afk for 20-30 mins, get a key done, ez
People got gold to spend
the AH is their end game
Oh I see
If i had the gold i would 100% get my alts boosted for gear.
And once they are full geared i would actually start playing them.
How much is a 20 cost
they get home from their 9-9 Goldman Sacs job... to play the AH
im not a fan of getting boosted even when i have the gold
I'm not a fan of playing my alts when they don't have gear.
im an independant black woman who dont need no man
depends
Lmao
how much you willing to spend and how much boosters will do it for
tokens are rising in price
^ this too
Like estimate? Maybe like what 20k gold?
Already bought one for this tier.
I do rat carry keys between my friends and I, helps
for a 20? maybe 600k-700k
rat keys are important!
but thats a homie special
That’s prob too low
Numbers nerds
rat keys are awesome
Nothing is quite as fun as being a 368 alt in a 21 HoV
And getting a trinket first run you've wanted on your main for weeks

Who are some strong Prot Warr youtubers I can watch? One for content & One for guides?
my prevoker has leech whetstone
we dont have dedicated pwar content creators
So you're saying there's a void of easily exploitable content for someone to fill
LOL
BRB time to get the branding tool out again
Yikes! Looks like a need a setup! 😆 been finding some less than decent folks so far while searching
checks out
There's a couple of dudes here that stream (infrequently) but are very good
If sense is ever streaming, watch him
Mwahi is decent too
Anyone else here with a color name
Not to toot my own horn here but back in my day I was pretty alright 👴
#checks twitch notifications...
Sense streams?
Ye, but you old now.
Game too fast.
Once in a blue moon
He uploads on YT tho.
That's why I'm a MM hunter now
but awakened 😠
Just outrange all the mechanics and spend 3 seconds casting one aimed shot
hence why 3 and not 4 
🫶
sounds like a terrible experience 
I think we should get Blizzard to slow down the game so the real audience of the game (the guys who were 12 when i came out and are now ~30) can play it.

It's more fun now since it wants haste this tier
Aimed shot takes 2 seconds to cast now
go watch the HC classic death compilations....
you see things on there
👀
where youd literally fall out of your chair how dumb their deaths are
Honestly they should buff old legendaries to be competitively viable
"Okay I'm gonna run in and hit three sunders, I'll be back in 15 minutes"
like get this: drowning without fatigue levels of dumb
yeah i miss being able to use thunderfury, blessed blade of the windseeker
I used to have a clip somewhere of a death on argus
bro....

probably a FAQ but can you cancelaura last stand with the tier set to trigger it instantly? probably not often the correct choice but
Got hit by tankbuster, went to move out, clipped a scythe, bounced between 5 of them and then died to I think another tank buster
Classic sal
this hurts so much
fixed
huh interesting
it was cancelable for a couple weeks, but LS is no longer cancelable to get the proc early
which is honestly a good thing
cuz cba answering "when is it best to cancelaura"
what are options to get to uldaman as horde
We'll probably get a portal nearby like we did for older dungeons
be vulpera and set camp there lol
furry
oh true
dude youre literally a tauren
is the problem with that
I can't imagine they'll keep the TJS and SBG portals around
lmao
Can't wait for new content to open up
yogi you are a tauren player do you not see the irony in calling me a furry
yes, bull tank, warrior bull
jfc
minotauren
Haven't touched dungeons in a couple weeks now
I'm getting bored
hah furry
hangs head dejectedly
You both play inferior races, calm down
but the cognitive dissonance is astounding
not really Troll is actually my bis race
tauren is way less on the fury scale
Troll mega slept on
than worgen, or panda or other
We're warriors, we aren't known as intellectual bastions
Ofc there's cognitive dissonance
Dwarf is bis race all races hands down. Don't @ me. You know I'm right
True. Human bis.
Orc is the only true warr race
That's a weird way to spell nightborne
wrong, completely wrong
Its wild how people dont consider Troll better. 3min berserker literally lines up with our cooldowns better than any race. In combat healing actually adds up to be a shit ton over time.
Massive shoulder xmog is bis
Orcs are the only race that can do the naked MOG correct
orcs are exceptional warriors, but not be all end all
Other races are silly when naked. Except orcs
Female maybe.
Males are an abomination
so much huge L takes going on rn
go moo into the abyss
Lmao
The only correct elves are female blood elves for the horde
I played vulpera warr ironically for a minute, but got an above average number of nsfw whispers on MoonGuard
They also happen to be the cutest in the game, it isn't even close
Lmao
If you've played on MG, you know. 😂
No one is safe there
If a person is playing on moonguard, 0 isn't the starting number when factoring unusual amounts of NSFW /w
I imagine Moon Guard like Herogasm from The Boys
Transferred there for a CE guild, having no idea what RP servers were about. I was in for quite the surprise logging in on my female belf dh.
why did discord have to default to dropping me here of all places
i didn't need to see this pain
What is the best race Horde side for us?
Could someone explain me why we want crit in S2 over versatilty ?
BIG NUMBER GO STRONK
They're the same as before in that they're roughly equal in value, though both are eclipsed by more strength
Nothing to do with the Season.
It's always been either one or the other.
I'd go Vers, why would we go Crit? The parry is that good for us?
Parry is great in m+. And crit is more dps.
yeah, they've been roughly equivalent - crit is usually more damage (partially due to a bug) and parry makes it stronger against melee
vers is fine too though, don't stress it, pick ilvl
Parry has a chance to just entirely ignore some tank mechanics, too, though that's not something to rely on obviously
They usssssssssssually patch those out when they find them
Searing Blows from S1 comes to mind
Curse you Crawth
Can't let BDK ignore the mechanic even more
I go crit cause then I can play arms
though, haste vers would be good for arms pvp bleed build

anyone here that can garanti craft rank 3 alloys? just wondering if it's even possible to do

Same but also robot says crit make big number bigger
i'll check when i get home, pretty sure you need to use mettle for that tho, so cost will be a bit high from most crafters
i've maxed everything except armor smithing on my war
lmao pretty sure i raided with that guy on day1 of naxx in wrath
that was so painful to watch what were they even scared of
when you say use mettle you mean the lesser illustrious insight?
Should I be running Prot loot spec for content?
depends - i’d not advice it on vault
What can we benefit from running a different loot pool? All warrior gear is strength right
Do you need a shield? If yes, run Prot. If no, run Fury (in case you might also need a 1h).
Lmao that's vaild!
Wordd noted! Do we run 2h ?
Eh? No.
what? no
Sweet! Going to hit up Icey Veins & spend some time researching BiS to get a better understanding! So most BiS is Fury gear besides the Shield?
Yeah but endgame fine tuning your secondaries is definitely what I'm into!
Savage! Thank you for you time 👊 I'll be back!
yes, but the crafter has to use their own mettle to create the insight, and its a gated resource
I'd personally set vault as protection in order to get 447 Forgestorm
it drops on fury as well
yeah but even with it seem to only be able to get to 321 skill when you need 325 to garanti rank 3 but idk
are the mats for your alloy rank 3 as well?
Yeah but isn't there more 2h weapons than shields witch might make a chance of getting Forgestorm even a little lower?
its not that significant cost compared to trinkets you can find
Ideally with the new system you get a Forgestorm by just running the dungeon and then upgrade it
Same with trinkets
And then maxed vault just replaces the upgraded stuff as you get it
Better to sit in fury because you get more options for trinkets and such
also allows you to go fury/arms when needed
cause you'll have a chance to get a 2hander
tho i didn't see one all of s1 from the vault 
you arent gonna be there for a LONG while
Big prot advice, focus DPS, don't think, just send
new upgrade system is banger
for real, with DPS comes defensives
loving prot
With those of course come the subtext of "SB is a DPS gain" and "IP is a offensive spend"
We need the Drake meme
“Spend ip offensively arms, Naahhh”
“Spend ip offensively Prot, Yeesss”
Smh
Ppl that complain about using ip offensively are the same people dying with cds up
yeah they are
im not sure if it because if missing knowledge points in certain places
huh, i'll have to check then. i assumed you could guarantee r3 alloy with insight
but is it not only specialty smithing, smelting and hammer control that add to alloys right?
in terms of skill
your prof gear as well
yea, even rank 1 gives +10 i think
yup
atm im at 97 blacksmithing and 26/30 hammercontrol and with mettle i get it up to 314 skill
Can’t wait for people to tell it’s 2k per mettle too on top of the gouging.
Anyone know if Champion's Bulwark is still bugged in our favor?
I might actually make some gold this season 
yo why is my shield always invisible on my prot warrior? is this a artifact transmog bug?
What's on your back
I really wish I had the time to do professions and make some gold. Time v Value and i end up snagging a token or two if badly needed. I’m sitting on like a mil though most of which is pure grinding we rewards
So you mean always as in combat invisible
just my character is holding a sword and that's it, out of combat mostly, never really check properly in combat
What's your trade skills equipment setting?
wtf
I'm a lucky man
I just so happened to get sick during my deload week which was also just before the patch

I took tuesday and thursday off
then I saw the 6 hour maintenance 
It'll prolly come up sooner but who knows!
Hello des personnes aurait les best items mais en francais?
ideally english
🤣
ye
What stats on crafted? Crit haste?
What the funk, they balanced it?
Ill probably go SD on a new weapon when it drops. Because that’s the defensive play, right? Since damage wise they’re negligible
what did i miss
Same shit as usual tbh

I do better damage as arms compared to fury
I don’t think my brain understands fury.
my brain has never understood it
i think the last time i fucked around with fury seriously outside of mage tower was vanilla
Fury ez
I played Fury in WoD in BRF and I was trash
hell even the mage tower thing i didnt understand it, i just pressed buttons and won
it wasnt as easy as unholy thats for sure
og mage tower i mean
oh i see what i missed, 2ndary changes on raid items
kinda dreading that i actually have to raid this next season
outside of pugging shit though, or at least pug harder this time around
so i dont get shit like icon on the 2nd to last week
pugging hc should always be quite viable
of course
i just liked my free time
but we'll see maybe this tier is a bit easier who knows
less time consuming at least
I hope this raid is a banger
btw a guildy keeps having his chat spammed with "No player named 'Nimchip' is currently playing" after faction change, anyone know what that's about
I don’t want to get bored, and lose my will to play like I did at the end of VoTI
theres always keys
M+ is trash. I hate pug m+
idk i used to feel that way but i just do want to get bored quick to play other games
its only like 3hrs per week if you chainwipe, try to only find the bosses you want to kill
or do other shit
Pugs in m+ make me want to quit the game

If I had a reliable guild group, it like m+
common opinion
every pug is a bet
sometimes you win big
sometimes you just hop out of the key early
I always loose

if you always lose, maybe youre the baddie? 😮
Take that back 😭😭
Ok I take it back 😦
Is that trinket any good? I have one at 402 on my warrior
apparently so
Could replace my deco
No shit? That’s dope. I’ll swap it out
lol what
I do fine in guildie groups, and the occasional pug. But they’re so bad sometimes it’s painful
And I know, we all know. Toss of a coin
I am shocked at how bad it can be sometimes lol
This season maybe I’ll try for KSH
What’s the reward for 2500?
title
like always
KSM is mount
KSH is title
and probably the "enhanced particle effect" again
i still have that shit in my bags
The KSM mount is better than the first one. The frosty guy was meh
i have no idea what to do with it
It is worth using both for the set bonus? or just that one
It's going to get gutted for sure
Got one with leech bro!

Ikari you think so? I mean let the world content gamers have a pog piece right
God King @ionic fern how are you doing and how are clappy Bois doing
thats 5min on ST
the bigger benefit of rocks is just that its crit
when whetstone is mastery
besides that theyre about equal
Just use both
well yeah
but still not blown away
well it uses trinket1 first
but just on CD
so there can be variance in that
slam in buzzing rune
😉
thats another couple hundred dps
howling rune on top
Is that an anvil in your pocket or...?
😂😂😂
The 5 Heroic Quest, Fighting is its own Reward. Do I take the 415 piece that can be ugpraded or the crests? I am 418-421 on every slot as prot
The 415 can be upgraded to 424
437 even
Uhh, probably the crest? Like at 421 you're not going to get much out of the outher
Next week though you'll need the crest to upgrade some gear to 437
i picked the dumb chest
ty, crest it is

nice
I don't see the point in taking crest as that only bumps gear to 424.
A 415 that can be upgraded via just flightstones after you get higher ilvl stuff
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, Nom
i got boots from the quest
Did the UFFB buff on PTR make it live?
uffb?
Unstable Frostfire Belt.
yes
The proc doesn't scale with ilvl, does it?
does
I remember seeing a hotfix recently about embel and ilvl.
I'd go get it myself, but I'm getting a 403 error from WoW's site.
Also recall seeing about an item that has a damage proc that's not technically and embelishment.
Was that the buckler or something else?
Straight downgrade from similar ilvl, iirc.
How big of an upgrade is the shadowflame embell, and is the new armor kit worth taking over the current?
Weirdly, tepid vers has been simming higher than glacial but I dunno if that's simbait or what.
shadowflame embellish + diff stat belt is ~200 dps higher than frostfire
tepid vers is bis ST flask
has been all patch
🫠 
new armor kit is bad iirc
Stat belt?
well just crafted belt with crit haste
instead of frostfire which has crit mast
thats the tiny diff between the 2
But, can't we have two embells at the same time? Why not use Shadowflame on something else and UFFB?
you can have shadowflame patch twice
Oh, is it that much better?
same as you can have armor spikes twice
200 dps, as mentioned
So SF x2 > UFFB + SF
I hope they buff UFFB more then because that makes me big sadge
I was really hoping I could just up this fucker until the end of the xpack
i might stick to belt frostfire tbh
depending on my gear
cuz having a bit of mastery when you otherwise have none
isnt half bad
and its a phat crit belt anyway
Oh, that reminds me... I know moo ran a ton of trinket sims for creating his BIS ST set but
How far behind is fragment from halls?
I expected it to be an absolute dead wringer
several thousand
Holy fuck
If fragment is getting left in the dust then these are trinkets with some real bite to them
Yeah, but you can use it on some really sick AOE burst combos
I wonder what the best AOE is gonna shake out to be
They also need to really make moving these gems in and out of the annulet easier
Kinda bullshit having to leg it all the way to the FR every time I do M+
annulet is dogwater for aoe once you have gear
Yeah, but also heals a ton
Thanks!
I prefer to stay with my old frostfire belt, cause when Blizz sees that 70% of players playing higher content are going with 2x shadow embelish, they will nerf it (or boost others) 
It's right behind P&G. It's like 7% of my overall.
That's like a free hot all dungeon.
One ring is 9% of our stat budget?
for example
if your offensive ring doesnt do over 10% of your dmg
youre losing dmg
the defensive "heal" combo
is hard trolling
imagine thinking about HPS as a warrior
Consider if everything was equally distributed a ring would be 6ish%
9% shouldn't sound too far off then
421 ring is closer to 7% stats but still
You still want to be thinking about HPS as a warrior, tbh. It's definitely not a pressed thing, but limiting your EHRPS through mitigation and healing is important.
no
to gain nothing but a fancy details bar
You don’t look at the leech stat bar after every dungeon

defensive ring is like codex in SL
More I'm looking at EHRPS.
youre equipping an item to look good on details
but in turn do 7% less dps and take more dmg
Nobody mentioned wearing defensive ring.
but youre saying it does healing
Yeah, the offensive ring alone does 7% of my HPS.
Ok guys I’m assuming the enchanted versions of the crests just make it easier to proc tier5 ?
what gems are you running
Blood, Frost, Twilight for ST
swap frost for storm in AOE
Blood is healing you for 7%
youre talking about desirous healing?
That sounds wild
Yes.
What the fuck is wild spirit
That looks more like it to me lol
S must have zero IV uses and no leech
Exuding steam stone
It's another stone
some shaman bullshit
Those are stones from the healer
Tell it to my #1 rashageth heal parse
7% blood healing, id like to see that log
Wait, what stones are you running Nim?
