yah true let me go there
Still haven't decided if I want to play prot warrior ret paladin or prot paladin arms warrior
this season
🤔
why not both
all of the above imo
arms warr fun imo

lol
max is always right
arms will always be more fun to me
arms is the high iq, intelliwarr dps spec

i dont know what those words mean, but zug zugf
right on
that me
But who asked?
has anyone here actually upgraded shield to 437
theres a few
considering doing it
im deffo doing it tonight
I'm holding literally everything for vault
yeah true, should prob just be patient
nice
frost enchant still the best?
are rank 3 embalishments better than rank 2 or only easier to craft?
im top 10 in the world m+ season 2 according to warcraftlogs right now LOL
i dont even understand how that happens

somebody give this man SF, hes top 10!
make sure you screenshot it
doing it now
use it as flex
i m bad ass
just make sure you copy paste that into a whisper as you get declined for 20s for a prot paladin lol
lmao
good call
i would like to thank skyhold discord for never doubting me
many call me a troll, even myself sometime, but u all believed in me from the start
also i want to thank GOD
But I've got more CE than you can count!!!1!2
brah I should be SF cause I have R1 in normal
i dont actually
still havent even raided
the difficulty curve of this raid is similar to voti
1-8 are lamo?
sarketh is 20x harder than the rest of the raid
Neltharion is a blast
cuz nothing does anything and then if you dont stand in purple you just get 1shot or if you break walls you just bleed out
I guess it's the company I was in

I'm surprised they haven't tuned NL yet
Literally vdh "too bad you don't have my health pool" - promptly gets obliterated
Me "You don't seem to have your health pool either"
It's so trash
that's a good point actually
just reflect
DARN NOME STOP BEING BASED
Do we have any pointers on which items to primarily focus on getting in the new raid?
WTF THE REFLECT LOL
Can't wait for people to bitch about how OP SR is
beacon, anvil, ward is neat
😄
obv tier and just high ilvl shit
Yeah currently doing a quick clear of normal, any noteworthy items there?
Apart from tier
Gonna get that 2h sword off nelth and tank wit It
the legion + BFA dungeons actually have so much SR value its insane
i wouldnt mind having the tmog option
That sword looks badass tbh
in NL its really only that on boss
I want it a lot
It's also just insane survival
I can't wait for the scuffed reactions from the community
"only" as if its not the only part of the dungeon thats hard
Because not only are you taking that nasty dot
sunder and last boss as well
The cloak is the voice of the silent star i assume right?
The other three people in my group were getting trucked
rly?
yeah
huh
sunder is tricky
cause you gotta kind of bet on the cd
but hits for 600k on 16
just about
molten crash also on last boss, which is easy cause cast time is long
NOM not my screenshot but check this out
If I can land a 0.07% lucksack in a gacha game, I can land sunder every time, easy
We take those
first boss has nothing sadly but first boss is fucking easy if people can delete adds
Someone's going to post that in the paladin discord and when they start crying about it we're going to get Ion being like "warriors this is why we can't have nice things" followed by tbc Sr being reinstated
palibros can suck it tbh
what do I craft for first spark
Paladins complaining about niche utility is my favorite thing
Whatever you don't get from your first vault
Bop also invalidates mechanics
Literal immunity????
and divine shield
Do you remember the big crystal walking guys in Vault who had the big circle AoE?
Freedom immunes that
Literally 5 paladins on daddy D prog letting half the raid ignore the intermission death mechanic

And yet insist they're severely underpowered
prot pala so piss easy compared to warr
Well
so I disagree with that statement because wile yes protadin lives easier than we do its not necessarily easier to play
we just face smash keyboard all buttons on cd
pali is more involved than that
I think I'ma build a minimal CD talent set and see how smoothbrain I can get warrior
Then push key
Maybe even use defensive stance
To see how the other side lives
Press all buttons on CD
As a tank I mean
I raid as furu
Until they get tired of watching our vdh get murdered through 1.2m hp
MF you sit in d stance 24/7

SHOTS FIRED
which two embalishments do we play?
I don't actually
The bis simming ones
which are?

I did as I started playing it like 4 weeks ago
2x shadowflame or shadowflame/FFB
But probably belt and shadowflame
aren't there bis sims already done 16 months ago or smth like that?
I wouldnt count on them letting us stack the shadowflame embelish im sure it was an oversight
i would do SF/FFB
you could always double stack the armor embelishes
oh yeah thats true
i doubt the shadow flame one is supposed to be an exception
most classes are also already seeing better combos than 2x
yeah thats a fair point nvm then on my end
There was tuning like 2 hours before patch went live so, no. But you know our stats vary, however if you're the type of lady that enjoys tier lists, shadowflame and ffb
i wouldnt count on any explicit removal of it
many stats in these embalishments indeed

Private

Need that xmog bro
Brother not to be the bearer of bad news but that's the wrong shadowflame embellish
i tried a few bets in a 14 we actually timed and couldnt fish for any
just gotta watch bigwigs/dbm sunder cd and press it and let jesus take the wheel
@uneven mason whats ffb
Frostfire belt
ty
You spent all that gold on the shield and you're not even showing it off
i mean its kinda bad
Appearance wise?
That it does
put a shirt on
If I upgrade a 2h weapon to say 337 does that mean any 1h weapon or shield can also be upgraded to that without using crests?
Like zandalari just don't pull off skins very well
Pretty sure it tracks by class
1h 2h and shield
yeah i believe its slot based
its a good question
Infact I know shield and 2h don't overlap
so like weapon slot upgraded will apply to all weapons
But not 100% on 1h vs 2h
we will know soon enough
I'll let you know when I get a 2h I can take to 437
feet 🤢
It's the only negative
hey dont kink shame
I love their model
we'll be dwarf soon enough
but the fucking FEET
smh my head
is nelthar weapon bis?
Forgestorm
yes
POG*storm
Slapstorm
For plus or raid?
Yes
Yes
lul dropped know first try after 2 hours of wipe xD
okay
grats
dont worry planning on getting my 441 next week from vault
what ilvl ring u guys think i can replace eranog ring
Sim
600
oh fuck i queued into stupid voti
If you have a 421
how long do i have to wait to not get deserter?
yeh 421
Kill the first
a boss needs to die to not get deserter but in dungeons theres a queue cd seperate from deserter that also needs to expire
for LFR IDK if that exists
ok well ill know soon enough
Idk I've done LFR a whooping once all xpac
Because those runes were selling for almost 3k and I snagged like 11 of them
forgestorm good?
forgesword is goated
good
Bis at equal ilvl irrc
🙂
dogshit
cuz its dogsit
LOL

of course
ya
They buffed the damage and nerfed the healing
You're like a few days behind
is there somewhere a tldr for onyx annulet for prot?
sporepods got nerfed by 21% its obv only just now bad

pins
and ask, is this good?????
Gotta reduce that inconsequential healing
with how much of a boner people have gotten for HPS details bars
wouldnt surprise me if some streamer came around and say its good
dude bdk is insane LOOK AT THEIR HPS
Literally just throwing up ip logs
But mah overall hps
laughs in Urchin
whenever asmongold saw the "absorb 250k dmg" trinket he passed on it, i dunno how good that is but im assuming bad, so its good that we don't have #1 picking stupid items
from new raid
Ppl still don’t get that all random shields/hps achiev is sniping healing of the rest of our kit and healers heals
Especially this expac
You mean healing out cannot exceed damage in
Holy mathballs
It's like the dudes using.....codex?
warden is good
but only for ultra keys
guys when talents going to get update?
really love losing the effect of indom and my 13% leech to get an inconsequential shield!
muh random 1shots
oh so the stones ring fall behind 440+ rings
for aoe yes
Next expansion?
Pretty much 
ST in raid its still value ?
thaks for confirmation 🙂
you wont replace annulet and eranog ring in raid until they nerf them
i though they gonna change it this season
oh even the ranog ring ?
yup
mythic + talents dot change till i getr set pieces i guess right
i mean i wrote a new pin didnt i
Our talents are just fine
and eranog value in m+? 😄
just i quick question, is it better to use whirlwind or revenge? whirlwind costs more rage but does more damage unless talented into
If they stared messing with the most perfect tree they created than it's a bad sign
ye kagnis or torc
Take ww off the bar, it's not used
this man is correct, take WW off your bars
sry didn't see that
Do you think they will make some of current m+ bosses spells deflects instead of reflects?
WW cant reset shield slam
WW doesnt apply deep wounds
WW does less dmg per rage than revenge
remove it
revenge is literally improved ww, improved in EVERY possible way
thought so, the same as last season
thank you very much
no
Don't
Like 3rd and 4th bosses in nl. Reflects there are like NO 2.0
what, it does lol
No
im never ever suggesting use it
so don't exrapolate what i didnt say into what i did lol
Ww looks cursed AF as prot
Crit vers back on the menu for ST it seems
Speaking of NL, on last boss after magma wave a puddle spawns, and spits on random players. Is there a falloff dmg there further away you are or it’s just overturned ?
so the sims had the 20% crit dam bug also then?
when do I get to get rid of onyx and erranog ring
mm, that would explain
Mark of dargrul Sims better than anvil now
is plague stone better for m+ in onnyx?
so storm is best for m+ then
is this trinket worth upgrading or not that good for prot?
maybe you dont have post buff dargrul in ?
do you put crit enchant on ur rings i want to do that now
hm
🤷♂️
well its just a dmg proc with 4ppm
🤷♂️
sim mark with just the string
trinket1=mark_of_dargrul,id=137357,ilevel=441
could be
this sim was made this morning
so ye
getting the same result
do you have buzzing rune enabled
instead of howling
hm
skill issue idk
this is a nightly qs not a latest; idk if that matters
every sim does
moo defo being skill issued
when did the dargul buff happen?
yesterday
did u find the issue?
im curious what caused it
aide from the obvious skill diff
mmm i shouldnt have asked
I dont use anytihng :^)
To be perfectly honest
I think raidbots can just generate a random number
and i would trust it completely
Gearing decisions from like an ilvl / secondary pov is so minute to me i just dont care
the idea that people play for that stuff is wild to me
I guess
I just dont want to tihnk about those decisions
the tool told me x is better so i equip x :^)
the accuracy of the tool is just a boon
Just to clarify on this point. I noticed that it was bugged in game, and implemented the bug into simc. So it wasn't until late into the tier that the bug was properly in simc. After blizz pushed the fix, I updated simc again.
yea fair
I've taken care of the prot war module in df, with profile and apl help from Nom and friends
so if you do find any sort of bugs, just ping me
Ha
any dungeon specific dungeons we should be farming for items?
LMAO
Boon is uncapped ofc it's the best
Every other trinket is bfa split
Beacon falls off after 5 targets
Boon doesn't give a fuck
Mark of Dargrul is capped? It doesn't state that it's split on the tooltip, so just double checking
Ah okay
lol, yeah
lol
Bfa truly the worst
3/4 set pieces - not bad for first day normal xD
wow lucky
I really liked BFA tbh. I didn't care for the Dazar'alor aesthetic much but I liked the dungeon pool
last boss is funny
man i just want the nethalrus mace from a 20 vault
Bfa dungeons were great
BFA dungies were lit enjoyed em
I’m happy to see 2 in the current rotation
I can't find Forgestorm for Neltharus in Guides, what am i missing?
You can ping me here too you know lol
@knotty venture hi, big fan of your work
some days I am too, some days I am rather ashamed of it
In the wowhead guide, why is battering ram marked as a bad talent but still a recommended talent?
So ran a 15 neltharus earlier its honestly not bad no real tank damage
obvious 19>15 but ye
16 Neltharus was my second key this season
Just make sure people have there items ready to go and last boss is cake
I agree
No tertiary? 🚮
True
looks like that talent legend is out of date to me
can some1 explain Halls of infusion last boss. Did it on 15, but when i get knocked back it insta turns to kill my melee dps. Taunting doesnt seem to work half the time. And if i charge in, I most likely get fucked by the 280k dot
it seems very overtuned
Honestly whats dawned on me today is that you can loot a sic item like that ring but then you cant bring it to max ilvl!!! WOOHOO thanks blizz
yeah hero track
I'm gonna lose my shit if I get forgestorm from that key
going to a 17 VP now
🙏
pally tank
whats forgestorm?
bis weapon
ive done 2 dungeons so far(im catching up friday because i took work off) brackenhide and underrot both +13, underrot = missed +3 by 5 seconds, brackenhide was killed a +2 timer wiping on the last boss
ty!
spell reflect it
But he seems to melee the closest target (its why he also machine guns down hunter pets)
Does it work? I have tried both spell reflect and spellblock. It still gets applied. Although reflect is nice for 20% reduction
killer
Use Dathea trinket so he cnat knock you back :p[
kek
Yes spell reflect prevents the knockback. At least, I ran it several times yesterday and it did
Make sure you are using on squall buffet =P. The other one is just channeled damage
Looking at the dungeon journal though, it looks like he is SUPPOSED to knock you back and then start channeling on you. But in reality he melees in between (and even does the channel on random people to if you still arent in melee)
oh the knockback
damm i have been using it after i get a debuff
will try it out thanks 🙂
Zero surprise on this tbh
whats funny is the laser would then target warlock pets making the fight rather easy
I haven't even logged in since S2 started and I'm not surprised
i got -8% sim dps 😭 after crit bug fix
Insane how much of a difference a gigachad healer makes
Yep that's about what we figured
thats sad
Are forgestorm sims accurate? I am trying to decide what to upgrade and craft and I am seeign right now that 447 crafted weapon is simming better than a 441 forgestorm
its close, so a vault forgestorm will win out but that aint happening haha
i haven't heard otherwise and that's in line with the "best" weapons from last season
better at same ilvl, not worth dropping ilvl
is there an faq about the new embellished shield?
its not good
So I actually ran ST sims and yeah in ST forgestorm blows the crafted weapon out of the water
So nevermind haha
hmm yeah, very strong
ok so for us
there are no shield on mm+ & shield of raid suck
we must to have shiled craft
well generally yes unless you plan on quickly killing and farming mythic neltharion
how is this for tanking? do we want more dps heavy trink?
do we want the weird new crafted shield?
and Week 3 its weapon or belt
Iirc if I'm thinking the right one, no; damage proc eas bad comoared to Shadowpatch thingy and Fire Belt or 2 patches
probleme is not better than Belt embelish and lariat
bet
so if We understand 🙂 Best craft is , normal shield, weapon, Fire Belt and lariat for 6 first weeks
Lariat is bad
Even after full sockets, it's not as good as the shadowpatch whatever thing
Can't rmemeber name and at work so can't check
Best in slot troll me he said full mastery stuff...
Hey guys - the DoT effect in Sark - P1 - Ignore Pain is our best bet correct?
No, Shield Wall, Spell Reflect, Ignore Pain. You should use all of it. On our normal kill today, I was able to get 8 casts off of Shield Wall over the entire fight. Phase 3 is more important, you'll be fine in P1 on Normal with just SR, IP and Demoralising Shout but, you basically get several free shield walls. Use 'em. 😄
thx man
No worries. 🙂
so this trinket off the first boss is nuts, right?
are we just upgrading the belt?
Belt without ring is not worth.
Which ring?
Belt is definitely worth it
A second shadowflame patch is about 200 DPS better than patch + belt
what's up folks. question for yall that i assume there's probably a known answer for...but doesn't seem obviously apparent to me. Brutal Vitality and Fueled by Violence...is brutal vitality primarily favored because it's actively mitigating damage rather than healing damage that's come through?
It eas favored because of its synergy with S1 4p
4p synergy was the only thing propping up BV, even before BV got nerfed
Once you lose that, it's real tough to weigh them against each other, but fbv's buff may have pushed it ahead?
Maybe but I'd rather have other stat on belt than mastery
Neither will be particularly major to your survival, though
I mean, the effect is why you use it, not the stats
is there a consensus pick or i guess depends on your DPS?
these rocks are pretty cool in raid at 411
This is going to be a really dumb question
It's hard to measure defensiveness, so not particularly. I'm seapping to FBV tho because
Is there a safe strat for Crawg in Underrot? Not sure what to do during tantrum.
But how much do you guys just sit in prot stance? Do you swap pre-busters/raidwides and then swap back to battle? Do you just sit in it all the time? Sit in it never?
damn bro
The former or last one is the goal, since tank lives usually aren't in danger outside of specific instances
17 Neltharus ezpz
In raid you can probably just sit in battle stance 100% of the time
Okay
The rule of thumb is "Use d stance if you need it"
Im only 406 atm, about to go into normal with my guild for the first time
Normally play Fury but im filling in for our main tank
You can probably still sit in Battle 100% of the time in Heroic at 406 if you're playing properly
Okay
possibly mythic depending on the damage output; i don't actually know how bad it is this raid
did up to and including neltharion today in HC
Boys what we using our sparks on, I'm ilvl 419 right now
You're just too powerful
i wish
The rashok tank buster mechanic destroyed my OT today in a pug
Pug went straight to him instead of getting the wing to the left and we crashed and burnt
Yeah you definitely have to pay attention on Rashok lol
Yeah it’s funny how some mechanics will cripple a pug but go smooth if you have two tanks in vc
Hi everyone
Is forgestorm dam worth the loss of mainstat?
In terms of dps sims say yes
Wondering about the tankiness
Is it worth to loose the mainstat?
what
if forgestorm actually sims higher damage i'm gonna flip out
that sounds wrong
It sims higher in ST but not multi-target afaik
has the Researchers under fire event worked so far?
At any rate, the largest portion of your survival is play with our talents, so likely worth where it's more damage
yeeeppppp
Is anvil actually better than call to chaos?
I believe 5 and below it still wins
Fair enough
any idea how or why neltharions tank debuff is sending one tank down, and also applying the debuff to the one who is tanking him
so then he gets killed
I'm sorta amused they'd buff Harlan but think "you know what, some of those aids bosses? Those are aight"
I doubt they think that. If I recall last season they usually do nerf based tuning after a reset.
Annoying but it is what it is.
is Forgestorm not turbo BiS?
I was expecting it to be like the striketwice of this season but i dont see it mentioned anywhere
It is
Hey fellow Warrior tanks. I run a basic blizz ui for the most part. I'm looking for an add on that will show my focus's debuffs, so i can see the stacks the main tank gets.
To be fair, they didn't buff Harlan (at least, since the actual buff). He was just bugged and not doing the party wide daggers during All Hands like he was supposed to be.

I know it was mentioned above with Neltharion, is the boss supposed to be meleeing on the same time deal as the debuff?
how do you skip the grotesque horrors in underrot? just ignore them?
whats the big downside to a dagger 1h?
You don't. You kill them if you have to or you run around them if you have room to do so
There's no such thing as a strength dagger. And there's no benefit to playing a dagger over a strength weapon.
any estimates on the worth of old set bonus vs ilvl upgrades
4 set doesn't have a damage bonus so it doesn't sim
Hows war looking this seaosn in mplus?
garbage, literally unplayable. cant even time +2s
sorry for the late night ping - It does track by slot, I have a upgraded 1h and it's letting me take my 2h weapons all the way up without crests
H Zskarn cranks holy fuck
Is there anywhere to see damage diff between embellishments?
Fucking gamer
Does anyone know if spell block works for zskarn tank debuff?
What do you guys do to soak bombs on H Zsark
We had 3 pallys and 2 hunters. Bubble. Bop and turtle
And no, it doesn't work on the debuff
Almost nothing is blockable this tier
Kinda annoying
It's ass.
I sorta felt it in N
But H it's absolutely unhinged.
I feel like IP is basically required.
Just spend all your rage on it
I tolerated 21 stacks until I flopped
The problem is that the debuff last so long. It’s not the initial damage. I just seem to melt away while the other tank has the boss
There is no initial damage.
It’s a melee swing that applies it no?
? No
can someone link me an underrot route with no crazy skips
Define crazy
i dont need a rogue or 5 stealth pots

There are things in this route you can skip without stealth but I went with 0 skips
thx
Also, should be obvious but just in case, you don't pull Cragmaw room in one pull
I was just too lazy to keep making new pulls
yea
Just like the 447 shield prior the stat change, it's not reasonable to drop ilvl for a tiny St dps gain as tank
coward talk
@ionic fern hi ily
I'm pretty sure they did a quite massive pull into Cragmaw in the MDI during BFA
But then, you could do anything with a fire mage in BFA
if i am doing the rep quest, when i am finishinig it - i am getting half spark, do i need to do it all over again on alt or i am getting half spark "for free"?
Only the first week gave us a fragment for free.
We only get one every 2 weeks going forward
A fragment per week
Morning Ghash, how are you?
I'm doing okay. Hoping for a short night. How about you
Looking like it's time to craft 447 shield with shadowflame
that moment when your group is so coordinated on Nelth that you do delete the shield before it pops up and it bugs doing swirlies for the entire fight
and then it pops shield as well with double the swirlies
Is forgestorm any good for us?
bis
man neltharions lair feels over tuned as shit
my ww bro is trying to sim forgestorm
and raidbots is being weird suggesting a 421 weapon as OH instead of a 447 forgestorm/crafted weapon
do you know if that's intended @ionic fern ?
5 patchwerks 1.5 mins no lust
i mean
Does anyone know when we get CC?
lol
main stat is more powerful than a minor proc
oh wait
im dumb
sorry
i didnt even know forgestorm didnt give strength
yea
if you have the sim i can take a look
He must be simming wrong or somthing im almost certain his bis is pogstorm and fist wep from underrot
Same as brew would be
yeah
thats what we expect
he just got forgestorm and we're figuring out if he should trade me lol
Well every melee thats uses 1 hands want it basically ita dumb amounts of damage even when u can only equio one
I approve of lying to your friends to improve your own DPS
jakey imma need you to do a solid and edit that last message to say "It's shit for every class that's not specifically Prot War"
lol
ok we figured it out
btw
since you need 3 bosses now
for vault
how is it gonna work for people like my brother who still needs eranog ring
just hope for the drop since you have no vault chance?
and if you do 3 voti bosses, would it take a slot of the raid thing
Yes, so more or less: get fucked
yeah that fucking blows for him
He can try to pug 3 hc bosses to see if he gets another vault slot
But the Eranog ring is bis for many, so there should be some grps running mythic
hes 8/8 normal 3/8 hc aberrus, so all 3 slots are kinda taken
so if he does mythic voti, i wonder what will happen
Yeah but the higher might override the normal ones?
Which prob won’t happen, bcs it would still be worse loot
Guess he’s fucked
But even if the Eranog ring is bis, 440 from the raids are probably higher prio anyway
jesus christ sargha is brutal
see this
that shit was funny af
we were like oh fuck
I am fairly certain that you can't get vault slots from previous season content.
So doing VotI should have no impact on vault slots
bro double swirlies was fucking insane lol
hmmm
If he only does voti i think he can only fet voti loot, but ill be honest i have no idea mever gone back to do previous tier
well its a new vault
Tell him to go pug it first i guess
we'll see if we can find a group this week, it'll be hard
And see what the vault screen says
i at least can roll for him and trade it since i have it 😄
No
rip in pieces
that seems giga risky
Yea that’s why didn’t try
So about embillishments, the sim recommends double shadow, wowhead frostfire. I assume embellishments are not a case by case decision right?
got the 1st boss tank trink, but it's not showing numbers in details. any idea how good it is?
yeah it depends for embelishments
there's also the cheat death shield cloak to consider
On what does it depend?
Are they not flat dmg
(Except if you have the Eranog ring)
yea
double shadowflame is the way to go otherwise
or 1 shadowflame and cheat death cloak
undulating sporecloak
Didn’t even know there’s a cheat death em
im not entirely sure if it'll be something considering though as tanks
but i know our dps/heals is considering heavily for high keys
its not really a cheat death, but a shield, people just think its giga strong
xD
If you get from 40% to 0
not worth as tank yea
maybe
we will have to see
i mean its kind accurate, not min-maxy

I mean, neither guide will always have the most up to date information; that's part of why this discord exists. It's a lot easier to share play by play information in this setting than have to submit a revision to your guide every time you want to change something.
wowhead's audience isn't really like blasting 26s and shit
so its a valid recommendation
and thats also true
what ghash said
The only really bad thing I've seen on wowhead anyway is that it had Barbaric Training in the M+ build early on
But it was updated at some point
it also has one of the shield charge talents labelled as "bad"
I'm assuming it's taking Thunderlord instead
Llarold has a tendency to lean toward defensive shit
alright
time
So just double patch then
can someone link the biggest single target dmg talent build ? (i have 2 set) im currently running some weird execute tech
Raid build in pins
that doesnt have max dps
What's not max DPS about it?
that its prob more dps to not use the block talent

and instead of penetrable wall you use instigate
What block talent
enduring defense
the raid build pinned is good
but not for max dps :3
is the shadowflame sim broken?
is prot 2pc better in m+ than 4pc vault
seems like 4pc is just some more survivability but idk if thats like a big contributor
while new 2pc is just big shield slam dam
Defensively speaking, if you wanted an on use trinket, what trinket would you go for, Cragshaper or Treemouth ?
tree or the raid one
tank damage taken doesnt seem like an issue at all in the new m+
so i would go 2p 2p
Do y’all macro shield slam and ignore pain together ?
Umm no
So there is a macro which is Ip then ss in the pins
Which snipes ss procs when u cast IP
However u still have a SS binding as well
Oh so you use ignore pain as usual but it’ll always land the slam proc ?
That makes a lot mor sense then how I was viewing it
Otherwise u gunna rage starve yourself with that macro
(Same for block)
are there a site for BIS and best craft item like icyvein?
Wow head has a shit list
Well yes and no
As it stand right now a crafted belt with betrer stats and shadowflame patch will do about 200 dps then frostfire and another piece with shadowflame patch
So its a 200 dps increase and better stats which is also a slight defenaive benefit
But bliz could change a lot soon so thats why hold off for a few weeks
U dont nees to instantly craft somthing
I'd like to hold you for a few weeks
But the logs :x
its a kiss, they just pretending to hug 🤣
Id kiss him
Ah its week one i sacrificed parses for boss kills yesterday
Go for logs in like a month
^
Any tips for HC Zskarn I found it really hard to survive the tank mechanic. Got to about 10 - 12 stacks before swaps, made dealing with bombs nearly impossible.
We just had offtank take one / Hunters / Pallas take them with immunities
but the dot hurt allot more than it did on normal
Hey folks! Got my first raid experience for 10 years yesterday and experienced some thread issues with my DK mate in Aberrus HM. When I swap bosses with taunt + shield slam + thunderclap, sometimes thread switched to him again. He told me it’s possibly linked to hps addition. We had the same dps (around 30-35k). Are you experiencing the same?
HPS would not be doing it. Death Strike healing does not generate threat. Is he death gripping?
you can check logs on those specific attempts and see if he's just mispressing taunt or dg
a likely culprit
Was my first guess but he told me not at all nor any taunt maccro. I will check logs later today and share if I find something.
not at all lol
had to tank it with 3 people on hc with 29 players

Nope. Did you check his casts? Maybe he fat fingers taunt/Grip?
Not at all
I was solo soaking it as prot warr
On hc
What is the most ideal way to fight neltharus last boss
buffs seems too much of an rng
is there a chart that shows every buff dmg and whats the best one of them all?
couldn't find one online
I mean coins of course
there's more than likely a WA that'll show you what buff you got (cast time, ideal usage), or there will be a wa
Other option is to just learn the different ones by heart (haven't done a lot of nelth, but there's probably only about 4 different ones or something right?)
about that
the boots, mage staff, and the semi trinket, fourth one is a bomb
so yes 4 I think
I feel like the boots are the best
thats why I asked
it might be damage difference or just a feeling
For the new set piece bonus - is it worthy to bind Last stand to SB via macro?
whats the verdict on this trinket
-15% movement speed for 15 sec naaaah
@ionic fern my cursed fucking trinket luck continues...
@long stone is the effect even good like ill work around being slowed lol
Imo this raid many movement things were i would say- Good That im not slowed xD
I got nothing from raid yesterday and today 
On the bright side I’m blasting at least

Don't need trinkets.

Is 2p 2p worth on prot? Or rather stick to the 4 set until I can replace it with new set
i cannot for the life of me underestand the logic at blizzard HQ that goes :
realease the raid and its accessible day 1, its relatively easy on normal difficulty everything is getting more casual, and then we gotta wait 6 weeks for the catalyst

its not 1 + 2 = 3 to me
its catchup for people that were unlucky with rolls/drops, not main way to acquire tierset
well, what if your primary prefered way to play the game is mythic plus or arena
so, i guess now its GG go do the raid dummy
general consensus is that it opens too late, but, it is what it is
And it's only an "issue" at start, eventually you'll have all the tier you want and start using charges for transmog anyway 😄
Well as stated the catalyst isn't designed to be your only source of tier.
If you PvP or M+ you can get tier from vault
and this season they added the omni token from getting ksm/whateverpvprating.
Catalyst is for extreme bad luck protection it's not for initial gearing
They've said that multiple times
Also, you get access to LFR week one this season so you can get tier from there even sooner than before.
Jeh, one shot everything except for the last boss. 😂
Was weird.
But even on HC some bosses wrecked.
Or...we did mechanics wrong.
Idk.

legit, i might use this printer to start printing off wow stuff
become more betterer at game, put them in frames n stuff, (jk), reflect list, maybe, anything else nah, a mem.
anyone using a decent Spell reflect WA that announces when you use spell reflect? or know a way of doing this without just /cast spell reflect /yell SPELLREFLECT
make a wa that tracks spell reflect cast, then in "actions" tab, you can add a message to your preferred channel (say/yell/party) and type the message that you want to use for it
*wa that tracks spell reflect aura on you
Unstable Frostfire vs Primal w/ Shadowflame - but the Unstable has a socket.
How close is that
sims will tell you.
nvm i'm an idiot, just figured out how to add different embellishment. i;m a sim newb
thanks ill do that
Can i get a ballpark on how much rage gen bloodsurge is?
Depends on the targets
ahhh ok
In my 25 minute HoI it was around 63 rage per minute
So for Brew, I upgrade a 2h to make 1hs free crest-wise to upgrade because otherwise you need two 1hs at a certain ilvl to upgrade. Would this also be true for 1h-shield wearers?
Seems to be around that ball park in m+
Like if I upgrade a 2h will I be able to upgrade a 1h-shield?
