Sense doesn't count

#

He's rank 0.

final mist
#

Fair, makes sense

#

That guy is built different

ionic fern
#

Agreed. danderson

#

Asked him why he wasn't r1 r.io prot..said he diddnt want to bother with it..sent me a screen week later being r1 r.io prot.

#

Real normal

marble cipher
#

He's just the one that ranks everyone else, not WCL, Sense.

final mist
#

I bet he didn't even try to get it too

#

"just my weekly +30 keys for vault".

final mist
#

"Yeah I do 10 +30s every week, how could you tell?"

#

:gigachad:

ionic fern
#

Also,wait, are you playing double warriors in keys if you're with Garms?

final mist
#

If we're doing keys together yeah, but we don't do keys all that often together

uneven mason
#

"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" - sense

final mist
#

Otherwise I'll be on an alt (healy Priest or DH/Hunter critcake )

ionic fern
#

Resto shaman is fun,heal on that.

final mist
#

I've somehow ended up really enjoying the two dps classes that infuriate me to no end when I'm tanking

edgy kindle
#

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

final mist
#

I've played it for leveling but tbh I just really like holy and disc

#

Also Priest made out like bandits this tier

ionic fern
#

Dh and hunter?

final mist
#

Yeah

uneven mason
#

Sometimes you just need to turn off the brain

ionic fern
#

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.

final mist
#

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

ionic fern
#

Isn't MM gimped with 5+ targets?

final mist
#

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

ionic fern
#

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.

final mist
#

That's my only issue with them too

ionic fern
final mist
#

I'll usually just run my own key or play another game until friends are around to run stuff

ionic fern
#

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".

final mist
#

Pugs are super weird about that shit, it's insane

#

Classic as usual tho

ionic fern
#

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.

final mist
#

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"

ionic fern
#

Jep. Good old pug logic. I wanna know what goes through their heads and how they make decisions irl.

toxic gyro
modern brook
#

smh this guys only 2800 and wrote the guides for the spec hes playing probably trsh tbh

toxic gyro

Then I was like fuck it let’s have some fun in 20s and still was getting declined to some of them

All this META CLASS ONLY PLAYABLE is so tiresome

sick sentinel
#

hierlooms go to 70 now?

uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

why this wasnt in 10.0 on the official patch day day or like, 2 weeks from then

#

is totally beyond me

dusky canopy
pallid quiver
#

even if we didn't, people would find a way

dusky canopy
#

The community has adopted a mindset that you can’t succeed unless you have the top 5 specs

final mist
#

Well clickbait content like that is also just how shit like YouTube works

remote venture
#

Yes, it's the plebs that are the issue!

dusky canopy
#

Top tank/top healer/top 3 dps

topaz field
#

the problem is that people dont watch the videos fully

#

it is mentioned 200 times

sick sentinel
#

where do i find more information about how to get upgrades

topaz field
#

that every class is good etc

sick sentinel
#

or is it same location and gold

dusky canopy
#

Also keep in mind you really only have fotm slave problems at the mid range keys and the very high end keys

topaz field
#

but ppl are simply too lazy to use their own brain

urban bane
#

is this all in response to drat/tettles raid tank tier list

pallid quiver
#

Nah, Mwahi was just saying why he doesn't like to play DPS

pallid quiver
dusky canopy
#

No muse more or less just conversating

pallid quiver
#

It's extremely rare, but

#

never underestimate the no think crew

undone verge
#

I saw someone looking for specifically a Ppal for a 20

topaz field
#

which is fine imo

#

it has CR

#

which is not the communitys fault

#

but i think a pug key needs CR

dusky canopy
#

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

undone verge
#

There’s no world where you need a meta tank for anything lower than a 25

topaz field
#

i didnt say that

#

but i really think

dusky canopy
#

It’s acceptable to want the best classes at the “bleeding edge” keys but anything else it’s irrelevant

topaz field
#

that a +20 with complete randoms

#

needs a combat rez

ppl that pug to 3k are finsubs

novel cloak
#

finsubs?

sick sentinel
#

ya, if they got the heirlooms to 70 now, now im interested

dusky canopy
#

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

undone verge
topaz field
#

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

dusky canopy
#

My co tank is a 3k guardian they do exist

topaz field
#

which is really a struggle for pugs

dusky canopy
#

We always tell him he’s top 50 out of 51 people

sick sentinel
#

dpsDK is your best friend in any keythough

I really enjoy running with priest/DK

modern brook
#

3k is the cut off peepoHappy

novel cloak
#

im too old to deal with all the grief from ppl in discords/guilds

#

so i just prefer to play on my own now

dusky canopy
#

Oh I wait I’m not a financial submissive because I’m below 3k

#

Bet

#

I’m in the clear

undone verge
#

I’d rather pour bleach in my eyes and stub my toes on a sewing needle individually than pug to 3k

final mist
#

Honestly if you're early in the season and pugging higher, it's not too bad

dusky canopy
#

When I did 21s it was pretty much like a 1/3 success rate

#

But mileage will vary ofc

modern brook
undone verge
final mist
#

Yeah

#

There's this like

#

Dead zone, I guess you can call ot

undone verge
#

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

final mist
#

Where essentially the middle management andies are doing keys and its just hell

dusky canopy
#

Right at some point you’re better off farming 21s to avoid the “barely do 20s” players

final mist
#

Yeah

undone verge
#

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

final mist
modern brook
pallid quiver
#

Sounds like most 20s I've ever run

modern brook
#

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"

undone verge
#

Yep

modern brook
#

" shit tank died to tank buster (at the 6 minute mark)"

final mist
#

I always love the people who do negative dps as well as don't use any utility

#

They're my favorite

modern brook
#

I too love dh

undone verge
#

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

final mist
#

Spriests PIing themselves with the talent? Hell yeah brother

#

Love DHs not using Darkness or Blur

#

Or CC

#

Etc

#

It's great

modern brook
#

in DHs defense they have to like use momentum to be able to perform 30k lower than their sim

final mist
#

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

uneven mason
#

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"

undone verge
#

I used to be able too, now I’m washed

sick sentinel
#

imma try to get my weekly shit done, see about those upgrade tokens

final mist
#

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

modern brook
#

"you know what will get people to get out of fire on the ground? covering their screen with a giant chat bubble"

final mist
#

OmniCD has this sort of setup, pretty customizable, it's nice

modern brook
#

lets go Marge

uneven mason
modern brook
#

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

if i do 2 more mythics, does this count to 0/5?

final mist
#

Mythic and heroic dungeons are different

sick sentinel
#

damn, cuz i gotta do, a mythic, a mythic 15 to 20, then 5 heroic dungeons, gd-it

uneven mason
#

Heroics are just a hard press w

#

If you're doing + 15s you can run boss to boss

undone verge
#

My favorite is when w to the boss then my entire group is dead

sick sentinel
#

i still have to be mentally and physically present for it, takes like, an hour maybe

final mist
#

The heroics and M0 you don't really have to be

sick sentinel
#

probably alot faster and less headache for group im carrying if i am

uneven mason
#

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

modern brook
#

in HoI specifically

undone verge
#

Skill issues tbh

uneven mason
# modern brook I've gotten kicked for that 😦

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"

modern brook
uneven mason
#

Hoi "dh face tanks frogs, dies, goes wtf tank"

everyone was mad but me 🙂

i was on my rogue but i had the shadow lands fall damage toy engineering thing

uneven mason
#

Those wind pots are handy too

modern brook
#

yah true and real

quick zealot
#

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?

sick sentinel
#

YOU CAN JUST WALK OVER IT

quick zealot
#

and the icy veins rotation seems to neglect shield block/SR altogether

sick sentinel
#

didnt know it was this easy to skip in AV

uneven mason
#

Yeah SB should be taken into consideration, idk never read either guide

final mist
#

We also don't have a rotation due to the way the spec works, it's a priority system

#

you're 404 with a 398 shield in new k value land

uneven mason
#

Wtf is that shield accurate?

quick zealot
#

lmao yes

#

is that the problem

uneven mason
#

Bro

quick zealot
#

please tell me that's the problem

uneven mason
#

Shield should be highest ilvl item

quick zealot
#

wow, thank you

#

alright

uneven mason
#

We'll see

quick zealot
#

i think i don't really understand DR well enough

uneven mason
#

But like that is "A" problem

modern brook
#

I mean

#

You're just low ilvl period

uneven mason
#

We're literally the block tank

modern brook
#

this wouldve struggled before the kvalue bump in anything much higher than 18s

quick zealot
#

phew

#

this makes a lot of sense

uneven mason
#

I'm not much higher but I'm toting a 424 cardoor

quick zealot
#

Should I just get a shield made?

#

or hold out for a specific drop?

#

I'm guessing the former

uneven mason
#

But could be an execution thing,. like we're tanky af, of you're spending into IP

modern brook
#

yah log still worth digging into tbh

uneven mason
#

Like, if you're that low and not running hr, because the guide says itf, chances are you're getting decked outside of block

quick zealot
#

that sounds feasible. Generally I'm favoring SB when it's available, and using the SB -> IP macro

uneven mason
#

Since itf requires a lot of haste to not have SB gaps

quick zealot
#

IP when the mobs call for it

quick zealot
#

the one in pin

uneven mason
#

You press IP to bleed rage to force am to cycle your cds

#

Ss/IP

#

Rather IP/SS

quick zealot

nvm i'm sorry, i got that confused

i think i have a lot to work on

gonna go just

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?

uneven mason
final mist
#

You have to be aware and know what's coming to prepare for it, moreso than any other tank.

uneven mason
final mist
#

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

dusky canopy

You prevent damage as this tank

It wasn’t on the Dg bis list on wowhead so I was confused

That’s 441 pogstorm vs theoretical 450 strike twice

I don’t think they have 450 1hands ?

I think Raid drop for 1 hands stops at 447

#

Yeah it’s a reference point

urban portal

thats a good reference

unkempt hatch

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

undone verge
#

I assume the % drop is at most 5 lvls so if you can do a 12 rn you can easily do a 7

unkempt hatch
#

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

unkempt hatch

My 405 druid could do a 12 TJS so I mean I’m sure my warrior could do a comparable key

#

I’m bad tho. I think I just end up with less than good groups half the time.

#

Fort bolster?! Ewwwie that is ick

violet flume

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

violet flume

yeah but like i said you can wipe a lot and time it

yeah, they've been roughly equivalent - crit is usually more damage (partially due to a bug) and parry makes it stronger against melee

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
