ya i miss sl execute
is Battering Ram still good with the nerf?
I want fury execute with 2x ep buff power ez
yes
it changed indeed š¦
here is the log ive found (its not my): https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/d9JHXVjTypMmgGfh#fight=6&type=damage-taken&source=19&ability=403699&view=events
BR is still super good, just not super turbo omega broken good
ill never not play BR
cuz it just makes the rotation, and especially ST, so smooth
and it interacts with new tierset š
not yet
Current status of pain
just consider this as 5-6% dmg nerf, thats all
i reckon, based on logs from this week, there may be somthing
itll be evened out by new tierset
so FEELYCRAFTY you didnt lose anything
It's so nice they made our tier set not dog water in terms of numbers
Well yeah but like..
Taking away 6% season 1 power and giving it back to us in season 2 power
Doesnāt make us grow in power
its a bugfix, its only the right thing to do
It just puts us back to neutral
now its just wait and see
if theres gonna be actual tank tuning
cuz 4/6 tanks are over 10k behind pally and bear
I don't think they're going to give us a damage buff
There'll be tuning then for sure.
Pally has to be at least 50% better than the others ofc
More likely to bring paladins down
nah blizz has done good with the nerfing this xpac
theyre super cautious nerfs
which is great
I could see execute buffs also it makes sense
yea
I don't even care if it breaks balance, buff Execute at all times
Give fury execute, have 100% chance to reset SS CD on cast
imagine juggernaut to be core instead in talents 
Like imo execute should be our most favorable button I dont really understand why they donāt make it that way
At least during execute
Not necessarily at all times
Because then they would balance us around it
well it is, but the tradeoff isnt very large
we also said we're balanced around d-stance
which is evidently wrong
The times when warriors damage was balanced around execute phase was just painful
HUH
Lower than bdk
Banner execute!?
uuuuh
That was like peak
nah we wont be lower than BDK
Imagine doing dog shit healer tier damage for 80% of a fight
That's cringe
bdk uses annulet all of next patch even in m+
Just have our dps be normal and then weāre the best tank for execute damage
cuz their own class doesnt benefit enough from stats
I donāt see how thatās bad
with current rage gen, idk if fury execute would be that good
if the CD is 6sec
kinda whack
I meant the damage ramping
like, banner execute made me like arms execute more
over fury execute
fury executes upside is, is that you also in turn get tankier
Fury would go into execute phase dead last for damage and be at the top by the end
cuz instead of spending rage on it, you spend it on IP
Back in legion
ya ik
99 stacking jugg
It sucks for progression and most of the foght
He does pure disease damage rite
We keeping our T29 4 set bonus or is it worth it to lose it to get more ilvl?
And that was only 73 stacks I think
no she does physical damage and puts a massive healing absorb on you
was like over half of my health
it doesnt give us any dmg, so yes, it is worth to upgrade
Would you look at that a perfect example of balance

thats not a good example if you compare 99 parses to 47 or lower
Lol leader called for wipe when boss was at 200mil and I told him āno no, my cds are almost upā
It was impossible to hit 99 stacks anyway
Unless almost all your dps died in execute phase and it would be just you, tanks, healers, and couple dps
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh
id say, you can start saccing 4pc for like 10? ilvl upgrades on 2 big items
and in raid pretty much for any ilvl upgrade
and for 2pc just sim
thank you sir
It's still 4% dr
2pc id just sim
and not care for the 4% DR
unless you wanna push bigdick stuff
but keys are looking MEGA easy
so just max ilvl tbh
Well that's generally the process
Doesnāt seem like any really threatening tank stuff this go around
and its better to get new 4p to do such stuff anyway
Like no TJS/Crawth level shit
It's group hits though iirc
Neltharus is pretty fun

Like breaking chains and shit stacks a dot
true and real
Have you ran it? How toxic is mammoth?
mammoth is funny
DPS check
Dammit I keep thinking I'm in the paladin discord when you pop in
yeah i think there isnt a portal to uldum
there already is one
obsidian enclave
ah
yeah this one here @astral atlas
see that small portal inside?
welcome
anyway, im so excited about the new mount'
it looks nice
anyone thats got a good grasp of blacksmithing in terms of skill etc?
not really but try asking
so ive got an issue where it seems like it is impossible to garanti rank 3 alloys
no idea about that
Does someone want to take the time to setup BiS from m+. Like the pieces we should farm until we have the max raid gear. Iām too lazy and at work.
Nah that aināt it
@heavy sinew use the minor insights
last boss is retarded
if you don't wanna fish with your khazgorite
with dumb people
wait minor insights?
oh you did? you're missing points somewhere then
I do't even know what the last boss does
I need @strong forum levels of BiS list from m+. Not a wowhead write up where they donāt use forgestorm and all that
We don't
@heavy sinew your prof gear looks low, are you missing skill points there
BiS lists are a thing of the past
legit just anything with high haste
ideally haste crit
for big sexy
i wouldnt be too focused on bis
No stats are as big sexy as you guys tbh
do the other ones get better than green?
I know that, Iām just lazy and want a list with item name and dungeon to farm
havent looked into it
about dungeon drops
ill see it when i get there
just enjoy slamming any random key
to get crests
Warriur bis list
Focus DPS
Equip biggest number
Just Send it
Press buttons
you want a Q5 flameproof apron, khazgorite blacksmith toolbox, and black dragon hammer
Lemme know how much donation you want baby. Iāll bank roll it.
Itās worth all the š¤
maxed out the specialty smithing and smelting specs only missing 4 points in hammer control
i just want to be happy
Nomeratur: āJust equip big sexy broā
May 9th 2023

Ha, good luck. Thatās priceless
Impossible standards
well that's 4 of the points you're missing
do you need someone to craft those 2 other items? cant find them on AH
yeah im a high tier bitch
that plus your green prof tools probably is your issue
Yes
yes crafting orders.
shieet
Bring a decurse
dot trucks
halls of infusion is banned
but thx for the help
My only complaint with last boss of neltharus is the treasures all do different things
learn the icons and what they do lol
also curse sux
Why
a) looks boring as hell
b) frog boss is cancer
c) 4billion interrupts
this one..... it scares me.....
Why did they add the triforce as a raid mechanic
the game i play is, its literally just tanks from 1920s to 1970s
and those are "tank destroyers" armed with large powerful guns that typically only aims direction vehicle is pointed. makes tremendous booms, but penetrating, not explosive like arty
So m16s drop 424, can they be upgraded all the way to 441 or do you have to get 431 from M19+ to take them to 441?
From 431 to 441 how many crests and flightstones is that? How about 424 to 441?
The latter.
424 based (16s) caps at 437 I believe
loot from 17s can be maxed
17s and 19s are functionally the same in terms of maxing them, but you'll need more crests for the 17
Yeah iirc from a value per run 18s are the sweet spot
Super helpful Ty
just bring a prot pally and play fury

spellwarding balanced lol
WHOA WHOA WHOA
GULPING GOLIATH?
THE GULP GOD?
BORING?
smh nom
yesh
does anyone have Avatar uptime weakaura?
you forgot to post in fury
nah he did
ope, i see it
Anyone know if its worth to give up the 10.0 4 pc for ilvl? an Example is I got 421 10.0 Tier gear but i got none tiered 424-428 from mythic+ i just got.
Are you raiding or M+? Raiding 4 set sucks, m+ its ok, but if its a big ilvl upg may be worth'
428 will be better
I'd prob just use ILVL 4 set smul
sounds good thanks guys!
Shield a good first craft with ench. wyrms crest?
wonder what the block value will be with a 447 shield
similar to block from a 421 in 10.0 
āļø
my dudes
i got blessed by the vault gods since last week
after an entire season
last week i got icon
this week
GG !
Well
pity vault but shit icon and that shit 2 weeks back to back
I'm concerned about what I'll get
i guess my luck is gonna be shitty as fuck this season
I'm hoping that my last s1 is still shit, so I'll have good luck
this is like objectively the best thing you coulda got from the vault tbh
IDK how to read
General thoughts on this trinket - bad/good?
Hahaha
bad?
we had an emote for it
back then
is it still there let me check
it was this one
but it got updated i guess
LOL - LITERALLY TRASH, i think that answers my question
anyway sim it before, because im sure there have been changes
Didn't we have literally trash and absolute garbage
It got nerfed healing and buffed damage
Straight to the vin
or expansion rather
Bin
Like that buffed damage is still suss
I like the buff to talisman
if damaage got buffed it might be worth simming against 415 trinkets though
Makes it decent
I give up on Eranog ring in my warrior. Got it on 2 alts at 421, but never warrior. Time to get m+ rings and cope.
Oh my God. Did I just witness literalgarbage being nerfed
sporepods is the reason you dont open vault in prot spec
LOL
Technically it's a buff, but still literally trash
where should i start for learning the m+ and raid fights from tank perspective?
don't see anything like that in pin
youre not a first time tank though?
right?
if youre not you start learning by doing
with da leech too. you're fucking BEAT for this season 
ye
Naraxas seems overtuned?
nah not first time but I was under the impression its better to be somewhat learned on the encounters before just droppin in
wowhead has some dungeon guides of dubious use. generally experience is the best teacher - you'll find what threatens you by being threatened
for raids i suppose so
for dungeons, im just going in, some dungeons are familiar to us that we've been playing like FH/UR etc
do low keys
"familiar to us"
Meanwhile, me who mostly skipped BFA:
yeah I havent played since wrath lol
At least bolstering doesn't increase hp
do you all use m+ specific addons for tanking? I am looking at mythig duneons tools atm, seems like a lot
If you want to sort out routs
I use plater and configure it to make casts that are going to fuck me big and red
Or purple if it's a non standard interrupt
But to nom's point, most keys can be timed by just playing and pressing buttons
Trying fancy skips and stupidly big pulls when it's not needed, or in pugs are more likely to waste time and brick the key
heard that
pulling extra shit, under control, is often much faster in pug groups
how do you configure that? using scripts or what?
Skips and such are fine if everyone is on the same page, which is frequently not the case in pugs
I suppose the thing I;d find most useful is a general like route, not even a specific group by group route. I have run the DF dungeons a little but the other older ones, no clue. Does that exist anywhere?
im sure they will, many of them got changed, so they'll vary from their original versions
Yeah there's a couple of websites that will give you a couple ideas for routes. Let me grab a link.
VP never even had a M+ season
a guildie just posted this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J7YvZ1LZDqQSf2Ccd3kzgHeTHt0WwB1twmqD7nuExsE/edit#gid=0
i only checked the first page, seems legit, has route and video links
If you watch streamers and youtubers, some of then might be helpful... not a lot of good prot streamers though.
Yeah works like wa
More or less
is 415 grapnel better than my 421 icon and 421 windscar?

thanks for the help everyone
nelf lair is hella overtuned
yeah, I failed a 13 nelf
but then 3 chested a 12
so things are just weird lmao
might have been healer diff
now I have a 15 rot B)
I had a feeling tyr would be freee
Whodathunkit
brackenhide is fine
your healer has to be a boss tho
and dps actually have to swap to kill the fucking totem on the last boss
a tall order
is there any crafting gear we need to use spark for ?
Shield
anyone got a tanking plater profile?
use quazii's!
why shield ?
most important defensive item
i thought the one from raid tier is better then crafting
gl getting it
im just trying to see my option thats all
its way easier to get a 447 crafted shield than the 450 from raid
but just doing keys eh
primal molten defender or Shadowed impact?
primal molten
with haste - crit stat corected?
sounds good 
i ask about that a day or 2 ago. and was told ilvl -> haste -> crit = vers -> mastery
Do haste Crit
Haste Vers is nub trap
You canāt get enough Vers for it to be good
So you really spending first spark on a shield. I thought weapon is the first item to get?
forgestorm is going to be better than crafted weapon
does ilvl of your shield make shield slam do more damage aside from the extra stats u get
more block
its all about the block value
youre a tank, shield makes you the most tanky compared to any other item
a pwar without a good shield is just paper
shield ilvl determines how much % of dmg you actually block
How does wacky does so much hps. Is it much?
HPS literally doesn't matter. You'll have relatively high HPS by just doing your rotation.
he pressed last stand
thats why
no idk what you mean
like hps is just leech + ignore pain + indom
Trolling or not to recraft shield to 437?
are you guys upgrading shield or wat
this shield any good?
Not good enough to warrant sacrificing two embellishments I believe is the consensus. Unstable Frostfire Belt is better.
You would only sacrifice one embellishment. But yes it's not good.
It takes 1 Minute to proc it's dmg
5x 3.5k is not alot of dmg
That's only 300 dps
At 447 this proc is only like 5-6k
Which is still only a 3rd of what 447 frostfire belt does
Oh do you get more than the 2 embellishment limit this patch?
No
No o_O
Then I'm not sure what you mean by that. Shield and belt take up two embellishments.
You said he'd have to give up two embellishments to use the shield
Oh I get what you mean. Yeah one not two.
"sacrifice having two embellishments" would have been more accurate
Did forgestorm get nerfed? It doesn't look like it's proccing a lot
Wait no, there it goes
You have to hit the power switch on the handle
Is it worth breaking 4set now for higher ilvl?
how is the class trinket for us? i feel like the damage taken increase won't be a big deal, but it will make it harder to convince the loot council
At some point probably; if sims are working, those are your bet for that
You'll lose the defensive value that the free leech gives you, but you'll also have the strength, so it's hard to measure out defensively
hey guys do we have any sims after the bug """fix"""",do we still get ram?
We were getting Battering Ram before we knew it was bugged just based on what it did
So yeah, we're still grabbing it 100% of the time
is it 2 embellishments?
whats the belt enchancement thing called anyone know
Shadowed Belt Clasp?
The shield? Yeah.
not sure if anyone is able to have bought the recipe yet.
gotcha
i think the bricks are farmable, but you barely get any from treasures, you get most from the weeklies and the digs
don't they all say this and it means "you can have two embellishments"
yes
enduring dreadplate trinket any good?
Right duh I'm an idiot. I forgot Lariat was so mandatory it took up one slot last patch.
Yeah I'm silly.
A right silly sausage
lariat is no longer mandatory
Ah well business as usual I don't know what I'm talking about.
you wanna get the shadowflame patch i believe
Yeah so this is a last season spark
Oh yeah that I know. They adjusted how it works to depend on how many gems you have so it dropped under others in usefulness.
So it wonāt be a shadow flame one
Can you swap at one stack instead of two on Kazz?
2 of em
the ring of forbidden worth it ? i have a ring 424 haste crit leech and socketed look better no ?
You can obtain up to 150 crest fragments of each type, each week, which amounts to 10 of each type of crest. Certain things don't count toward the cap, like quest rewards and downgrading one crest to another.
If you don't obtain all 150, it will be a cumulative cap, so you can catch up next week.
Having to hold movement CDs 2 hard brain 2 think : (
Yeah, tbf though, people had a lot of trouble with that even when it had been around for an entire expansion so
You'd think the playerbase as a whole would be better skill wise. Apparently not!
it's day 1 lmao. obviously people are bad at mechanics
13 years on and nothing has changed lol
??
I mean, this is a dungeon that is literally in the timewalking pool. Most people should know it by now if they're doing keys.
you don't learn mechanics in heroic. shit just dies.
Besides, why would you go into a key without at least reading up on it
Yeah except that mechanic is still fatal in timewalking
It'd be one thing if it happened a couple times.
Not every single time.
lol
like 5+
that mechanic has been fatal its entire existence
Yeah, and it's easier now so
Like
No excuse lol
Even if you don't know the mechanic at all, you might pick up on the fact that the entire group is running toward one spot
Yeah but I mean, in the past it rooted you. At least you can actually move with the current one which lets you use most movement spells
I'm not surprised that's still a thing. People didn't realize you could do that even when Vortex Pinnacle was current content.
Yeah, Stonecore was the same way with the one boss
they tried a lot of new things in cata
The worst boss to pug back then was definitely the big dude that you had to drag through the fire though in Blackrock
God help you if you had a tank who didn't know how to do it
That would've been yuge
Ngl I wouldn't be mad about seeing the dungeon again in current content, but they'd have to do SO MUCH TUNING.
theres things in there that have never been used in an encounter design ever again
Basically every boss after the first one would be a nightmare
Yeah let's bring back BRC and people dying to the aoe slash because they don't realize you're supposed to move after breaking the chain.
Or the second boss mutating someone who doesn't realize you're supposed to move before 100 stacks
final boss where threat = most recent, not highest for adds
creating a teleporting juggle loop between the tank and heal and dps

and if you get near them you cannot be healed
It leaves a sick dot now if you don't jump tho
Not to mention the trash leading up to the last boss where people would 100% not stack for meteor
bring a priest to help the dumdums
worth loosing 4 set over 6 ilvls?
Like 6 overall ilevels?
no
Uh, offensively yes, defensively probably not
so are you guys using your wyrm crests
I would probably not use them unless I was doing at least +16s
yeah these dungeons tougher than i expected tbh
as far as the gear I'm obtaining I mean
Obviously you don't get wyrm crests from that level
ya
expecting some bosses to get nuked from orbit before next reset
I felt fine in all the dungeons but party and mechanics didn't.
ilvl > old tier?
Onyx annulet worth it as prot vs 424 ring with BIS stats leech and socketed ?
Nelth lair last two?
moreso the third than last imo but
Easily. In raid you'll be using annulet the entire patch unless it's nerfed.
and M+ ?
watchin new raid
they're on magmorax, i wont do there/their/they're, i'm better than that
You can sim for M+, it's hard to say.
It'll get replaced in aoe eventually, but M+ isn't only aoe
Naraxas on +16 makes me wanna
myself irl
Like regular biking?
I was hoping they'd tune him better this time around; he was fucking rough in Legion
As an additional note, if bosses are really stomping people as hard as it sounds they are, you may run ST build on the ring to focus on sropping them as much as possible
Yeah, a regular person pedaled bike
I'm already hearing a lot of concerns about this one. probably partly people not knowing what's up, but is the tuning just bad too?
It was in the past for sure. I haven't had the chance to even log on today so I don't know from a personal standpoint.
Some people don't give a shit about wasting people's time.
I chided a couple DPS about being absolute muppets and wiping us twice.
ok
don't care
So, I cleared until the last boss and bounced. Key was a brick anyway, but if they're okay with wasting folk's time I'm gonna make sure they catch the fallout
eh
Got flamed right as I left and sent a screenshot of his original reply
Fuck being the higher man, get low and be petty. Grind salt in that shit.
People are animals, frankly.
Are we being toxic andys on day one of the new season?
apparently
There's a difference in being toxic and someone absolutely not even doing the bare fucking minimum for a key.
Fuck those clowns.
And the people defending the behavior.
itās day one
Half the dungeons have been out before DF. The other half have been out all S1 and preseason.
There's legitimately no excuse not to at least try and understand the boss mechs.
I'm not asking for people to know meta routes day 1.
I'm asking them to know how to do the boss.
Fuck me, what an ask, apparently.
Being asked to open your dungeon journal is toxic, I guess 
It“s the first day of the season, dont expect things from randoms on day one bruh, they might not have the same time and expectations like u, go find a group if randoms annoy u, but i doubt u find a good one with that attitude xd
Also, the "these dungeons have been out before DF" doesn't mean everyone did the dungeons when they were current.
I would probably not say anything to them other than to maybe explain it, but I do understand being frustrated when people don't even put in the minimum of effort.
Yeah, fuck that. I'd rather just brick and move on than spoonfeed children. I'm so tired of having to think for my party by explaining shit.
It's one thing to pow-wow routes and CDs on a high key.
Sounds like you need to acquire friends that have the same mindset as you so you can avoid being let down by human beings in a video game.
It's another to just be dog.
And I'm not defending the behavior either. My goal is always just to have the best experience I can since I play to have fun, not be mad. And being toxic or harsh to pugs is not the way to do that, since it literally never has a positive outcome.
I feel being upset about your group not doing the bare minimum is pretty reasonable.
Your expectations aren't whats toxic.
Your reaction to people not meeting them is.
Your actions are what is toxic.
What? Wasting some asshole's time after he flippantly dismissed the fact his duo is wasting ours?
You can be upset but as Ghash said, keep it to yourself and go next.
Also, if you're setting your expectations that high on day one of the season, you're asking for let down.
If I were doing high teens and 20 relatively comfortably last season where should I start this season? 10ish?
Especially if youāre pugging
Probably between 12-14 for starting. If your group is cohesive, you can go a lot higher than you think, probably.
Let's find out
Pugging at the moment. I'm aiming low.
@cinder nova what level key did your toxicity come from?
14 VP
Lmfao
I'm in Australia so most of my guild have jobs and lives the filthy degenerates.
So @stone pike I'd stay away from anything 14 or higher.
LMFAO
So that you can avoid S
kekw
Imagine being that much of a whiner over a 14 vp
Cool cheers
actually cannot even
I'm watching morons face check mechanics and then stand downwind and get cleaved by the dragon's aoe.
16 deaths before 2nd boss
2k reddit ksm vibes
You're mad that people didn't know the mechanics of a 13 year old dungeon?
you're playing prot warrior you are the cc
It's not infinite.
13 year old dungeon.
This is the one that always bugs me. You might not know a dungeon but did your brain fall out overnight? Why did the start of S2 make you forget how kicks and cc work?
And watching people just let rally kicks go out
Check the above. Day 1 mentality means people can just be apes and get excused for it. Like a license for shitty play, tbh.
what was ur io in s1 lmfao
2730
LMFAO
13 year old dungeon.
Why doesn't everyone know the mechanics in the dungeons
Remember to take the red nose and rainbow wig off, and kiss the ringmaster
I'd venture to say most current WoW players weren't playing when VP was current.
Don't need to be playing Cata to read a dungeon journal.
Sup
It's literally as simple as this...
- Oh man, I want to do a key day 1. What key should I do? I know, I'll do X.
- Read the mechanics on X
- Queue for X
- Execute mechanics for X
- Collect loot, io, and crests
Neltharus is the best dungeon.
Naraxas is about to do painful things to you
Halls is ezpz too.
JOKE'S ON YOU
I'M GONNA WAIT TIL THEY FIX IT
Is it overtuned? Does a fuckload of group damage, but you can meme the tongue on the eggs.
17 VP was bad enough. I ain't going into NL.
Halls and Neltharus are legit fantastic dungeons. I love them.
Oh I forgot due to hacking a lung; hi Ghash, how's your afternoon been?
Good chance he is, in fact, flying into a rage right now.
Something on naraxas can be reflected, idk what but I remember the reflect sound during it. I think
Where in that 5-step list did anything look out of place?
Your expectations are not inherently toxic.
Your reactions to people not meeting those expectations are.
So far so good. At work š
YOU ARE FAILING TO READ.
I believe the poison application is reflectable, but from what I remember it's randomly targeted
Your expectations ARE NOT TOXIC.
I fundamentally disagree.
I think a lot of people are genuinely too stupid to act without shame or reprisal.
that sounds about right
Your reactions to people not meeting those expectations on day one ARE.
There is absolutely a point where you need to just shame someone for their behavior and lack.
Sure, why not. Agree to disagree, I've had to coddle people and they never learn.
Like I said, agree to disagree.
I can be patient with pugs that can at least admit mistake and take it on the chin.
When someone doesn't give a shit and wastes my time? Yeah fuck that asshole.
Make 'em suffer.
When does it make sense to break the 4 set from season 1?
When sim says it's better, I guess.
prolly 428 pieces
I'm gonna guess that you're gonna need a quartet of items that both outbudget it and overcome the value of the 4p
Offensively, anything is gonna be an upgrade that's higher ilevel
But in M+ especially, 4p is quite strong
I'm trying to remember, why did TMI fall off?
TMI?
Theck-Meloree Index
Oh idk what that is
Was a metric to measure how smooth a tank's damage intake was.
Not a clue.
It calculated effective health and damage intake based on mitigation, avoidance and buffs available.
it did not originate from AMR
it originated from Theck and Meloree
sad day when Theck quit making wow content
I assume, then, nobody has picked up the torch and ran with it.
Didn't Cider originally start working on those calculations?
Not that it'd really matter, I suppose. Tank deaths are usually easily traced to some fault of play.
Well it's never really been a good metric regardless because you can't calculate intake smoothness in a vacuum because there are too many variables. DPS is simmable because the only variable is uptime, and even then it's not a perfect metric in real scenarios.
It's a bad metric with lots of maths into it, basically something made by someone who loves maths more then playing the game
Now it seems that you're either not taking any damage or you're dead. It seems more based on CD rotation and usage and less on gearing.
TMI was traded in for EHRPS.
Which still isn't a perfect metric but at least it's based on the encounter you're actually participating in rather than in a vacuum.
yea
Ehrps is an even worse metric that added 2 non homogenous metrics to get a number that had about as much value as me saying your health is age +bmi
I mean krsi when it was on wclogs
Wasn't there ETMI for a little while that you could use with SimC and plug in a specific encounter?
ye
In the end these metrics are mostly useless because you're not gonna tank a boss to death in the end if you want to be valuable you need to find the balance between staying consistently alive, damage and utility
Agreed
Underrot wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I will need to figure out some safe skips though clearing a straight path put me at ~110%
Underrot is so free
A lot of folks skip the bridge at the beginning
Timer is giga
or did in BFA anyway
You kill the middle pack and the maggots, then shroud/invis down the right side
Oh?
That skelly pull on the right in the arena has one in the middle
The one I noticed is the final pack. There's a worm between the two giants
And the two destroyers at the end have one in between them.
wait so you have to fight the two giants and a worm?
ffs man
There's not even like, good shit to pull with the worms really either
in that area
so you're just killing individual mobs
Big fun
(me after reading dungeon journal for five minutes) I definitely know every mechanic on every trash pack and 3-5 bosses and I'm not going to forget any of them. Time to hop into a key and berate other people
sounds good to me
Didnt see it in pins, am I upgrading frostfire belt first?
That extremely detailed dungeon journal got me covered.
Can't wait to have the tanks rage and leave, because I did not interrupt something that isn't even interruptable.
My favourite was in DoS, first pull, the swirly wirly on the ground that you dodged. He got hit, screamd at us. Left the group
The good ol' memories
Note, he did not die - he just got hit by it 
I don't miss the age of the fragile ego tank. Those people were the worst.
Age? It's still going strong
So I don't have a raid group, and so am looking to try and farm up the best gear I can from M+. Does anyone have recommendations on which dungeons would be most beneficial to target? I was thinking Neltharis as it has Forgestorm, a shield until I can craft mine to max rank, and the flame tentacle trinket.
that sounds good
Considering this is the first day of a new season, pretty much anything is going to be an upgrade. I wouldn't worry about targeting dungeons at this point. Remember that getting a trinket in a lower dungeon doesn't mean much because you can't upgrade it past the track it's from, which means you'll have to get it again at a higher ilevel later on anyway.
Is it? They seem less prone to tantrums than, say, Shadowlands in my experience.
Thats a good point! Plus I wouldn't wanna spend my luck now and never get a drop I'd like a second time š
Also do yourself a favor and calculate the probability number per run of getting an item you want, it's sobering
The best thing you can do is try not to get bored/frustrated/burnt out
Also keep in mind that Neltharion's Lair likely has a much bigger loot pool than the rest of the dungeons due to the huge pools of Legion dungeons. I don't know how the others compare but the Dragonflight ones at least will be much smaller.
I didnt even consider that tbh
I think Neltharionās has our best trinket outside of raid after the buffs. Itās simming 2nd best for me overall on dungeon slice.
Is that the mutated magmammoth scale?
Wait
No the dargul landslide one?
any1 know if theres a portal to neltharians lair
We don't use dungeon slice for this spec. We do not have a proper APL created for it.
From what I'm told, you'll have to take the Org portal, then the Broken Isles Dalaran portal.
lame
dal hearth
ill take what i can get
nelth lair worm boss
need to try it out
hurt?
oh overall
yeah some bosses feel overtuned
but its also week 1
altairus rings a bell
hurt like fuck if people dont do downwind
dragon and last boss both
trueee
and asaad's add
imo
has way too much hp
it kinda felt the add was the problem on last boss
everything else is jumpable
It was a problem but
static cling is funny though
last group I was in we only cleared it cuz I was strategically giving the rogue freedom
some people CANNOT jump it
cuz he couldn't jump
is Zaqali a BiS trinket for us?
i wonder if pugging high tyran vortex, the play is to bring all evokers/DHs lol
they can do static cling by breathing
heavy breathing on the space bar
Didn't they even increase the cast time? I remember it was a bit rough in Cata because it was very fast
feels like it
but also it was needed cause i feel its easy to not pay attention to cast bars while add is up
i kinda miss intervening azerite shots on Kragg
good thing you can still do it on eudora
How's the keys going guys?
what is the BiS Trinket setup - Beacon + Nelth call?
I got my warrior to 409 wooo
IDK
But also might have to gear my DH for raid because missing that buff
gz
Btw this season has so many bleed tank buster mobs
š¤
What this raid has is cock sucking trash that has to be kciked or they "Randomly" nuke DPS for 90k 10 at a time
Apparently ppl don't kick in raidsš
havnt left my chair since servers came up except for some Chinese food š

I don't even know when I can get my first key done this week
Depends on if friends are available in the wee hours
Gratz!! Which 20 did you clear
Oh yeah UR has a shield huh
no, we just have the 20
gonna wait till afte raid this week
worth upgrading and using yeah?
but its a Neltharus
I assume FH and UR probably have fairly small loot pools too
yea, but dungeon loot is poop
Well, can get shield and weapon at least
havnt replaced a single piece
I definitely feel like there's a ton of healing checks in season 2 in general
its just a burst damage trinket
They replaced swirlies with unavoidable AOE dmg
that was their intent yes
final boss looks fun....
Plus this season have so many cleaves/frontals/aoe vicinity dmg abilities
thx, so not bad if you only have 415 trinkets - but not great comparatively
And my dps alts are all meleeš
I did not predict that Brackenhide's last boss would be the pug killer. This moron keeps ignoring the totems and killing us.
bro wtf was that cinematic for killing the final boss
it reminded me of this cutscene
bro spoilers
Yeah, Mark of Dargrul is simming higher than beacon for me in ST now.
@astral atlas lemme see that screenie
is there a WA to track your 4p proc for bloodthirst?
Hey guys! Speaking of Rashok... That combo, does taunting during a cast his tank busters change the target. I know we cant take more than one of a type. he swings three times i think
I'm assuming that was intended for #fury
oh whoops sorry
the bis one
Jordan so catty
literally same here LOL
general tsos and lomein
Spread out, move out of poison pools fast, don't let adds get to boss (or let someone get eaten).
Yeah pretty much i think our shaman being 407 is causing a bit of stress for him
the rocks are hitting us for like 80k each
and then on top of that the poison ticking
407 sounds relatively low ilvl
yeah its a main swap for the season
fuck this boss btw
i just dont feel like spend bunch of gold on 70 heirloom
i calculated the main items id want 70 heirlooms is 113k for armorpiecesc prolly 40k for remaininy weapons id use
heirlooms are dog now anyways
ez boss lol
ez for me.. not so much everyone else lol
did people not pick up the coins or something?
no they did
and blast her shield
i find it amazing that we have 6 cloaks heirloom and 3 of them are crit haste and none is mastery
they tried and failed often
lol weird
i dunno wat lvp ppl get masyery now but
That BIS includes M+ gear, yeah?
yeah just saying that in case others are seeing it
kappa
some of it you will use for keys for sure
just admit you misread
Level 10 is when people get mastery now I believe, but some specs don't get the whole thing right away. Like I believe elemental shaman gets part of their mastery later on.
you used to not get mastery until later so having it on heirlooms felt bad, but now you get it right away (when you select your spec) ye
Do you know if there's an M+ version? š¤
I know mooo links it any chance they get
But I dunno if it's two separate ones or just one they keep refining
I forgot that US is already live, had a long sleep. Are 17s spammable or how's your guys M+ experience so far?
should be similar, trinkets might swap
just sim
its what he does anyway
Don't you use different rings
probably
Use the dungeon journal š
welp there you go
is there a current bis list I should shoot for in general?
Whatever is higher ilevel
indeed
I mean, certain items are going to be better if I upgrade them right?
just like a wishlist thing so I know what content I should be targetting
wish every dungeon was neltharus and halls
Raid is the content you should be targeting if you want actual bis stuff, since the best trinkets and highest ilevel gear comes from there.
NL is for sure catching a bunch of nerfs
Last boss nelth do you kite the add around or focus it?
you get damage for every step right?
yes
then you focus it i think
Anyone tried the new shield embelishment yet?
Now all you gotta do is maintain it
It's so wholesome seeing the newbies (to that content) learning our tricks
ahem its also on the pinned blockable / reflectable sheet by Master Sense 
indeed indeed
Today's warriors have it so easy. Back in my day we had to have Shield Block up for that mechanic or we'd get yeeted
And for a brief time, if I spell reflected it, the boss would get yeeted
lol
is spell reflect working on rashok?
Does anyone know what time patch is?
Am I missing something, or is crit simming better than anything else right now?
what patch? new season started.
Crit always sims better than everything else unless you have a metric ton of it
It's pretty much always our best offensive stat
wait it's also started for EU
EU
started like 7 minutes ago
