#

I think they should just buff Execute

#

just in general

#

give arms and fury execute buffs, too

toxic pewter
#

ya i miss sl execute

granite pond
#

is Battering Ram still good with the nerf?

dusky canopy
#

I want fury execute with 2x ep buff power ez

strong forum
#

yes

hardy snow
strong forum
#

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 šŸ˜‰

pallid quiver
#

Also, we got no comp for the fix, right? if so, i was right

#

pain

strong forum
#

not yet

pallid quiver
#

Current status of pain

hardy snow
#

just consider this as 5-6% dmg nerf, thats all

strong forum
#

i reckon, based on logs from this week, there may be somthing

strong forum
#

so FEELYCRAFTY you didnt lose anything

pallid quiver
#

It's so nice they made our tier set not dog water in terms of numbers

dusky canopy
#

Well yeah but like..

uneven mason
#

TFW you need borrowed power to get back to where you were

#

Feels bad

dusky canopy
#

Taking away 6% season 1 power and giving it back to us in season 2 power

#

Doesn’t make us grow in power

strong forum
#

its a bugfix, its only the right thing to do

dusky canopy
#

It just puts us back to neutral

strong forum
#

now its just wait and see

#

if theres gonna be actual tank tuning

#

cuz 4/6 tanks are over 10k behind pally and bear

uneven mason
#

I don't think they're going to give us a damage buff

pallid quiver
#

There'll be tuning then for sure.

Pally has to be at least 50% better than the others ofc

uneven mason
#

More likely to bring paladins down

strong forum
#

nah blizz has done good with the nerfing this xpac

#

theyre super cautious nerfs

#

which is great

dusky canopy
#

I could see execute buffs also it makes sense

strong forum
#

yea

dusky canopy
#

We’re warrior we like execute

#

It’s kinda our niche

pallid quiver
#

I don't even care if it breaks balance, buff Execute at all times

uneven mason
#

Give fury execute, have 100% chance to reset SS CD on cast

hardy snow
#

imagine juggernaut to be core instead in talents copium

dusky canopy
#

Like imo execute should be our most favorable button I dont really understand why they don’t make it that way

#

At least during execute

#

Not necessarily at all times

uneven mason
strong forum
#

well it is, but the tradeoff isnt very large

#

we also said we're balanced around d-stance

#

which is evidently wrong

dusky canopy
#

Right it’s abysmal trade off

#

Basically irrelevant

strong forum
#

if pwar is balanced around being played in d-stance

#

we're very bad

uneven mason
#

The times when warriors damage was balanced around execute phase was just painful

dusky canopy
#

HUH

#

Banner execute!?

strong forum

uuuuh

dusky canopy
#

That was like peak

strong forum
#

nah we wont be lower than BDK

uneven mason
strong forum
#

if we sit in d-stance

#

we're still stronger than bdk

uneven mason
#

That's cringe

strong forum
#

bdk uses annulet all of next patch even in m+

dusky canopy
#

Just have our dps be normal and then we’re the best tank for execute damage

strong forum
#

cuz their own class doesnt benefit enough from stats

dusky canopy
#

I don’t see how that’s bad

strong forum
#

ya id like that

#

big dopamine execute time

#

very fun

dusky canopy
#

Yes

#

Big agree

uneven mason
#

Legion fury execute

#

Just not the other 80%

strong forum
#

with current rage gen, idk if fury execute would be that good

#

if the CD is 6sec

#

kinda whack

uneven mason
#

I meant the damage ramping

strong forum
#

like, banner execute made me like arms execute more

#

over fury execute

#

fury executes upside is, is that you also in turn get tankier

uneven mason
#

Fury would go into execute phase dead last for damage and be at the top by the end

strong forum
#

cuz instead of spending rage on it, you spend it on IP

uneven mason
#

Back in legion

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

thats not a good example if you compare 99 parses to 47 or lower

toxic gyro
#

Lol leader called for wipe when boss was at 200mil and I told him ā€œno no, my cds are almost upā€

toxic gyro
#

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

strong forum
#

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

hollow hill
strong forum
#

maybe more ilvl for the 4pc

#

its SUPER hard to evaluate

#

but it does a decent bit

dusky canopy
#

You probably going to keep 2pc until you get new 2pc

#

It’s pretty great

uneven mason
#

It's still 4% dr

strong forum
#

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

Why did they add the triforce as a raid mechanic

sick sentinel
#

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

misty moss
#

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?

granite pond
#

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

uneven mason

Yeah iirc from a value per run 18s are the sweet spot

do you all use m+ specific addons for tanking? I am looking at mythig duneons tools atm, seems like a lot

thats a route planning tool

which is only relevant for pushing keys

uneven mason
strong forum
#

if you just want to play m+ and do weekly keys

#

you dont need any specific addons

uneven mason
#

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

fast ice
#

heard that

pulling extra shit, under control, is often much faster in pug groups

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?

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.

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.

people were fine in SL s2 i assume yea?

that wont be an issue

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

and if you get near them you cannot be healed

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.

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

Are we being toxic andys on day one of the new season?

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.

fallow osprey
#

it’s day one

cinder nova
#

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 keks

west adder
#

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

crude notch
#

Also, the "these dungeons have been out before DF" doesn't mean everyone did the dungeons when they were current.

warm plinth
cinder nova
#

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.

crude notch
#

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.

cinder nova
#

It's another to just be dog.

warm plinth
#

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.

crude notch
#

Your expectations aren't whats toxic.

#

Your reaction to people not meeting them is.

cinder nova
#

I feel being upset about your group not doing the bare minimum is pretty reasonable.

crude notch
#

Your expectations aren't whats toxic.

#

Your reaction to people not meeting them is.

#

Your actions are what is toxic.

cinder nova
#

What? Wasting some asshole's time after he flippantly dismissed the fact his duo is wasting ours?

crude notch
#

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.

stone pike
#

If I were doing high teens and 20 relatively comfortably last season where should I start this season? 10ish?

fallow osprey
#

Especially if you’re pugging

cinder nova
#

Probably between 12-14 for starting. If your group is cohesive, you can go a lot higher than you think, probably.

I fundamentally disagree.
I think a lot of people are genuinely too stupid to act without shame or reprisal.

There is absolutely a point where you need to just shame someone for their behavior and lack.

No

there isn't

And who are you to be the one to do it?

Sure, why not. Agree to disagree, I've had to coddle people and they never learn.

No that's not how it works it's not flame them or coddle them.

When does it make sense to break the 4 set from season 1?

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

cinder nova
#

I'm trying to remember, why did TMI fall off?

warm plinth
#

TMI?

cinder nova
#

Theck-Meloree Index

warm plinth
#

Oh idk what that is

cinder nova
#

Was a metric to measure how smooth a tank's damage intake was.

warm plinth
#

Oh, wasn't that just an Ask Mr. Robot thing?

#

Which has always been a meme

cinder nova
#

Not a clue.

kind urchin
#

It calculated effective health and damage intake based on mitigation, avoidance and buffs available.

fresh igloo
#

it did not originate from AMR

#

it originated from Theck and Meloree

#

sad day when Theck quit making wow content

cinder nova
#

I assume, then, nobody has picked up the torch and ran with it.

kind urchin
#

Didn't Cider originally start working on those calculations?

cinder nova
#

Not that it'd really matter, I suppose. Tank deaths are usually easily traced to some fault of play.

warm plinth
#

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.

timber terrace
#

It's a bad metric with lots of maths into it, basically something made by someone who loves maths more then playing the game

kind urchin
#

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.

crude notch
#

TMI was traded in for EHRPS.

warm plinth
#

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.

crude notch
#

yea

timber terrace
#

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

kind urchin
#

Wasn't there ETMI for a little while that you could use with SimC and plug in a specific encounter?

crude notch
#

ye

timber terrace
#

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

warm plinth
#

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%

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?

that sounds good

warm plinth

#

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

warm plinth
#

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.
