Nobody is running blood for the heal, we run it for the proc. My surprise was because I figured losing 7-8% HPS was gonna feel noticeable.

That's your healing though

How does what

how did you end up socketing the "random stone proc" one, that's wild

not that it matters anymore

#

pestilence + obscure sims really good for aoe

obscure sims pretty decent in general

but its ultra RNG

:\

#

i mean pestilent is sometimes higher than storm

on some of these runs

#

rng is rng

#

pestilence gets better the longer the pull lives

#

but its just shit on low target count, and when mobs actually die

lusty grotto
#

hmm..

#

i guess that makes sense

strong forum
#

and idk if you ran desirous + prophetic

#

cuz desirous + prophetic doubles the dmg of the 3rd gem

#

if you only ran storm, then yeah its not as good

cinder nova
#

wait does it actually matter what order you put gems in

lusty grotto
#

i have it but apparently its on the wrong gear set

cinder nova
#

Oh thank god

#

lol

strong forum
#

but it matters that desirous + prophetic is gemmed

#

that combo

#

is what enables the 3rd gem to pop off

#

if you run storm without the combo, yeah its not gonna look as good

strong forum
#

theres a ring combo

#

where you proc healing anytime you move

that one is how you pad HPS

cinder nova
#

Yeah but dude's talking about a whole raid healing itself

#

yes

#

with that ring combo

#

it heals everyone

when you move

before the interaction fix

that ring combo alone

did 400k hps (including overhealing)

with just 1 guy wearing it

Yeah that ring combo was so busted lol

#

Ngl I tried that echoing gem on my BM hunter and it's actually not super annoying EXCEPT that it has the same issue as something else I've experienced, which is that you have to move a minimum distance for it to track, otherwise you can skip a tick of it and it won't proc

have they changed the dracothyst craft cooldown or is this a bug and i should avoid it lest i get ban hammered

warm plinth
#

Or you can jump, but you get on average about 20% less stacks in the same time period if you spam jump instead of moving.

I was thinking of a torghast power on my rogue, gave you evasion, vial, or cloak when you grappling hooked, but you had to actually move a minimum distance with the hook or it wouldn't proc.

Do the Shadowflame patch on head + flame belt emblishments still seem to be our bis for 10.1 ?
does it differ at all from Raid to m+ or are they just that much better than other options theyre bis in all conent

#

On aoe it might see a comeback

#

When I've tested slamming 3 targets I've played with the idea with testing BT

#

It was never proven to be usable

#

With new tierset + running UF however

#

Ive found myself not using revenge as often

#

Cuz you ultra prio SS harder than ever before

#

So you find very little time to use revenge

#

In ST and low target situations it usually fucks your rotation

#

I've not tested it yet, but it felt like I was barely using revenge

#

But when I checked casts it was still almost 1-1 ratio of TC and revenge

#

Had like 20cpm of SS, and 14 on TC and revenge

#

And like idk 18 on IP

#

Maybe more on revenge/TC

#

Will have to give it a whirl tomorrow

#

Also beta lag doesn't help

#

That extra 120ms does fuck

#

Sextupling your latency isn't real nice when youre tryna snipe SS resets

#

Often times gotta predict the reset with spamming SS instantly after pressing another vutton

It's to counterplay lag

i might need to look into that so i can get fear/stuns off in time

sometimes the GCD lock there if timing is back sucks

But you also need to spam alot faster

i spam my buttons anyways so it shouldnt affect me much

To not miss a potential gcd

#

If you have a 400ms sqw you only need to press 3 times per second to not miss a gcd

With 150 it's already 7 times per second needed

With 50 it's 20 times

Crafting order question: can someone request a craft of the whelpling upgrade item and have me use all the mats for them?

warm plinth

No

daring marlin

sounds like someone gotta farm then

#

It's not for an alt fyi

warm plinth
#

Well, I guess if you see a crafting order for that, then they can

#

when you say all the mats, do you mean including the crest?

daring marlin
#

Yeah. Cuz I have a bunch I'll never use.

warm plinth
#

Yeah I can confidently say that they will at least have to provide the crests. Everything else you can probably provide.

Sounds about right. Gonna goof around some when I get home.

hey guys doing temple 20.. what do i do on jade boss ? spell reflect doesnt seem to work

It works as mitigation just not to reflect. You have to time and use your cool downs for each green phase kick

It mitigates the 2nd phase, but not reflect

yeah cools

#

@warm plinth sacrificing my second rage generator in m+ for spell block,isnt sacrificing punish a better option?

#

does 2set makes up for that

warm plinth
#

No, because our entire tier set revolves around shield slam damage. It would be silly to give up a talent that gives us damage on that.

#

Not to mention it's a lot of DR on bosses/priority targets

#

Bloodsurge only accounts for like 10-15% of your rage generation depending on average pull size of the key

#

It's significant but if you're taking spell block, it's for a good reason

#

You just won't be able to set and forget spell block like you can this season.

So this is like...if you had like 25% crit like a 4% dps loss? Assuming I'm not bad at math

warm plinth
#

Not really because by default you do 200% damage on a crit. This made it so you did 220% damage on a crit

#

So on non-crits it's not a loss at all

#

And on crits it's a 10% reduction I think?

Unless like I said being carried

Temple is too tight with terrible hallways, along with annoying trash and the bosses are uninteresting
Ruby life pools just sucks don't @ me
Algethar Academy is fine, its not bad, but its not good either. Tree boss is annoying with how ez it is with a certain comp, but how annoying if u dont have a good comp. Vex is annoying, last boss is boring.
AV is EZ, Uninteresting, annoying, and boring
Nokhood is actually a decent dungeon, but suffers from the fact that the dungeon wings are vastly different in difficulty and required comp.

Hey guys, should I hold on to flightstones and stuff?

And the crests

flightstones yes

The crests that we can get this week really don't matter at all

I should bank as many flightstones as I can tho for next week ye?

And I presume use spark on lariat?

warm plinth

No, we don't want lariat anymore

amber siren

If you want to min-max flight stones, you'll get all you can from quests till cap and then save the flight stone on-use stuff in your bags when you drop below 2000 but you'll probably be swimming in them anyway so I'm not sure if there's much point in getting that sweaty

What spec of warrior would be best for trying Mage tower?

fast knot
#

Agatha shouldn't be too difficult to get down, fury has insane cleave potential to clear most of the flamer boys, my attempts even would cleave the fumings before they could explode

#

Haven't done Arms/Prot since Legion though

edgy viper
#

Is fury easier to play than arms? because i am finding arms to be a bit annoying as a DPS spec

fast knot
#

Most of the tower challenges nowadays if you have an understanding of the class you shouldn't have that many issues

edgy viper
#

And my DPS as a Prot warrior in the challenges eems pretty low

#

Until tonight i hadn't actually tried since the DF release of them.

#

i did find out that i couldn't spell reflect the life drain

#

thought that would ahve been a good way of handeling that one

Prot is just an attention strainer, just have to stay aware of everything for a long ass time

Fury's pretty easy tbh

edgy viper

Was hoping to get the Arms one for the mount, but that challenge is just annoying

Prot one is pretty chill.

You actually don't even need to pay much attention to the knock off since you have double charge + leap.

Hi everyone
Was wondering do we still need Enduring Defenses in m+, with last stand being on such a low cd and granting SB?

ionic fern
#

We are giving up HR already.

#

Bolster+ED+CB will provide us 100% up-time on SB.

#

You can still play without ED/CB, but it means you will need to rotate defensives better and make use of SW to cover some potential caps etc.

Oatmeal is actually very nutrient rich, and i do recommend eating it on a daily basis, it's good fiber and protein okayge

As far as i remember bran cereal has bit more fiber

But it's also like twice the price of oats

I think a kilo i can get for right around a euro

stone pike
lucid pasture
#

A massive amount more?

stone pike
#

Yeah. 45 grams is ~65% of the recommended fiber intake in Australia.

lucid pasture
#

I guess double what oats have

#

About same protein amount too

#

But then again, price is always a factor

#

For such a cheap price, i dont think bran cereal would ever beat out oats at all

The nutritional value oats hold are just too crazy at the price

That’s fine if you have a preference

But as a tank the problem is likely not your class

cerulean tusk

Most do, it trickles down

chilly brook

Even guardian has at least one dude in the top 50

to be honest with all the hype for prot wars in s1 i was almost not inviting them half the time because they'd just be rerollers who only half knew the class

# cerulean tusk Ya lads make me sad <:sadgers:1022526082278248631>

Idk why we make you sad, all tanks are fine. Just play what you like and you can have success. If you’re running into a roadblock with getting invited it’s likely your rating. You can fix this by running your own key or joining keys that aren’t necessarily the ones you want but will boost your io

cerulean tusk

I done all the tanks, trust. I know the diff between fotm and unpopular tanks on the way up noahwhite
