jagged pier
#

i dont actually

#

still havent even raided

strong forum
#

the difficulty curve of this raid is similar to voti

#

1-8 are lamo?

#

sarketh is 20x harder than the rest of the raid

uneven mason
#

Neltharion is a blast

strong forum
#

didnt enjoy him very much

#

very annoying with pugs

#

also very boring

daring marlin
#

Reroll that shit

#

I got UR wicked

strong forum
#

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

uneven mason
#

I guess it's the company I was in

strong forum
#

its a very 100-0 boss, same as sarketh

#

sarketh p1 and p2 might aswell not exist

final mist
strong forum
#

boss does nothing

#

and then p3 is just shotguns left and right

daring marlin
#

I'm surprised they haven't tuned NL yet

strong forum
#

they aint gonna tune any dungeon

#

until rwf is over

uneven mason
#

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"

final mist
#

It's so trash

daring marlin
#

that's a good point actually

lusty grotto

just reflect

daring marlin
#

DARN NOME STOP BEING BASED

We did not kill the snake

#

#

Do we have any pointers on which items to primarily focus on getting in the new raid?

daring marlin
#

WTF THE REFLECT LOL

final mist
#

Can't wait for people to bitch about how OP SR is

strong forum
#

beacon, anvil, ward is neat

lusty grotto
#

😄

strong forum
#

obv tier and just high ilvl shit

ripe seal
#

Yeah currently doing a quick clear of normal, any noteworthy items there?

#

Apart from tier

final mist
#

Tier, beacon, anvil, cloak

#

Etc

#

Same as you'd want from heroic and mythic

toxic pewter
#

Gonna get that 2h sword off nelth and tank wit It

modern brook
#

the legion + BFA dungeons actually have so much SR value its insane

strong forum
#

i wouldnt mind having the tmog option

toxic pewter
#

That sword looks badass tbh

strong forum
toxic pewter
#

I want it a lot

final mist
#

It's also just insane survival

uneven mason
modern brook
#

"only" as if its not the only part of the dungeon thats hard

final mist
#

Because not only are you taking that nasty dot

lusty grotto
final mist
#

But you've also got other aoe from the boss

#

And the pelters

ripe seal
#

The cloak is the voice of the silent star i assume right?

lusty grotto
#

3 bosses from there Nome

#

have huge SR value

final mist
#

The other three people in my group were getting trucked

strong forum
#

rly?

lusty grotto
#

yeah

strong forum
#

huh

lusty grotto
#

sunder is tricky

#

cause you gotta kind of bet on the cd

#

but hits for 600k on 16

#

just about

final mist
#

We are betting men tho

lusty grotto
#

molten crash also on last boss, which is easy cause cast time is long

dusky canopy
#

NOM not my screenshot but check this out

final mist
#

If I can land a 0.07% lucksack in a gacha game, I can land sunder every time, easy

#

We take those

lusty grotto
#

first boss has nothing sadly but first boss is fucking easy if people can delete adds

dusky canopy
#

one of these dudes posted this yesterday

#

check that shit out

modern brook
#

lol

#

thats actually so silly

final mist
#

"Yes I hit SR to survive, how could you tell?"

uneven mason
#

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

dusky canopy
#

palibros can suck it tbh

late surge
#

what do I craft for first spark

dusky canopy
#

they have plenty of cool shit

#

we can have our 1 thing

modern brook
#

paladins have a 45s cheat death

#

we can have 2.8mil reflects

final mist
#

Paladins complaining about niche utility is my favorite thing

uneven mason
final mist
#

Brother Freedom lets you ignore certain AoEs

#

But SR is the problem

modern brook
#

Bop also invalidates mechanics

dusky canopy
#

Literal immunity????

modern brook
#

and divine shield

final mist
#

Do you remember the big crystal walking guys in Vault who had the big circle AoE?

#

Freedom immunes that

uneven mason

yeah like i said they can cry us a river

#

they have plenty of cool shit

#

prot pala so piss easy compared to warr

uneven mason
#

Well

dusky canopy
#

maybe the delusional palibro players think that not the good ones

#

LOL

uneven mason
#

Idk if I'd go that far

#

We're pretty smoothbrain

dusky canopy
#

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

uneven mason
#

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

final mist
#

Just play fury

#

That's the most smoothbrain

uneven mason
#

To see how the other side lives

final mist
#

Press all buttons on CD

dusky canopy
#

dude like 90% of your globals are SS revenge or ip off gcd

#

lmao

#

its very simple

uneven mason

I raid as furu

which two embalishments do we play?

sick sentinel
#

I don't actually

dusky canopy
late surge
uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

I did as I started playing it like 4 weeks ago

dusky canopy
#

2x shadowflame or shadowflame/FFB

uneven mason
#

But probably belt and shadowflame

late surge
dusky canopy
#

I wouldnt count on them letting us stack the shadowflame embelish im sure it was an oversight

#

i would do SF/FFB

modern brook
#

you could always double stack the armor embelishes

dusky canopy
#

oh yeah thats true

modern brook
#

i doubt the shadow flame one is supposed to be an exception

#

most classes are also already seeing better combos than 2x

dusky canopy
#

yeah thats a fair point nvm then on my end

uneven mason
modern brook
#

i wouldnt count on any explicit removal of it

late surge
uneven mason
dusky canopy
#

I broke the rules on crests

dusky canopy
lusty grotto
#

err 15

#

fuck i cant remember levels

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

its public

#

now

uneven mason
#

Almost 1m

lusty grotto
#

yeah its tricky as fuck to land

#

but it was that way in legion too

final mist
# dusky canopy

Brother not to be the bearer of bad news but that's the wrong shadowflame embellish

dusky canopy
#

its only gold

lusty grotto
#

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

late surge
#

@uneven mason whats ffb

dusky canopy
#

before i go dwarf

#

this what i got

uneven mason
#

Frostfire belt

late surge
uneven mason
# dusky canopy

You spent all that gold on the shield and you're not even showing it off

dusky canopy
#

i mean its kinda bad

uneven mason
#

Appearance wise?

dusky canopy
#

oh ye its not my taste

#

but to each their own

uneven mason
#

Doesn't it look like the raid shield?

#

Matches dwarf heritage I guess

dusky canopy
#

That it does

modern brook
#

put a shirt on

glacial skiff
#

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?

uneven mason
#

Like zandalari just don't pull off skins very well

uneven mason
#

1h 2h and shield

dusky canopy
#

yeah i believe its slot based

lusty grotto
#

its a good question

uneven mason
#

Infact I know shield and 2h don't overlap

dusky canopy
#

so like weapon slot upgraded will apply to all weapons

uneven mason
#

But not 100% on 1h vs 2h

lusty grotto
#

we will know soon enough

uneven mason
#

I'll let you know when I get a 2h I can take to 437

daring marlin

drifting violet

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

Do you think they will make some of current m+ bosses spells deflects instead of reflects?

strong forum

WW cant reset shield slam
WW doesnt apply deep wounds
WW does less dmg per rage than revenge

remove it

sick sentinel
#

revenge is literally improved ww, improved in EVERY possible way

drifting violet

thought so, the same as last season

sick sentinel

except sound and looks design

WW looks way better than revenge

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 ?

vivid orchid

so the sims had the 20% crit dam bug also then?

when do I get to get rid of onyx and erranog ring

strong forum
#

Mark of dargrul Sims better than anvil now

vivid abyss

is plague stone better for m+ in onnyx?

No

Plague stone is sim bait

vivid abyss

so storm is best for m+ then

cerulean spear

is this trinket worth upgrading or not that good for prot?

made the switch with season launch

modern brook
#

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

It's like whetstone

Bfa split but not written in tooltip

Ah okay

It was uncapped in legion

So ran a 15 neltharus earlier its honestly not bad no real tank damage

daring marlin

True

fresh igloo
sick sentinel

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

dusky canopy
#

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

daring marlin
#

It's why 17s are the play

#

until you comfortably farm 19/20

dusky canopy
#

Yeah true that

#

17 gets you into the highest bracket upgrade wise right

daring marlin
#

yeah hero track

I'm gonna lose my shit if I get forgestorm from that key

going to a 17 VP now

Use Dathea trinket so he cnat knock you back :p[

sick sentinel
#

kek

silk sandal
#

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)

sick sentinel
#

damm i have been using it after i get a debuff

#

will try it out thanks 🙂

Zero surprise on this tbh

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

mighty valley
#

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

hmm yeah, very strong

Hey guys - the DoT effect in Sark - P1 - Ignore Pain is our best bet correct?

Belt without ring is not worth.

nova rover
#

Which ring?

warm plinth
#

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?

pallid quiver
#

It eas favored because of its synergy with S1 4p

thin silo
#

4p synergy was the only thing propping up BV, even before BV got nerfed

pallid quiver
#

Once you lose that, it's real tough to weigh them against each other, but fbv's buff may have pushed it ahead?

loud wave
pallid quiver
#

Neither will be particularly major to your survival, though

warm plinth

I mean, the effect is why you use it, not the stats

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.

red acorn
#

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?

daring marlin
#

damn bro

pallid quiver
#

The former or last one is the goal, since tank lives usually aren't in danger outside of specific instances

pallid quiver
#

In raid you can probably just sit in battle stance 100% of the time

red acorn
#

Okay

pallid quiver
#

The rule of thumb is "Use d stance if you need it"

red acorn
#

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

pallid quiver
#

You can probably still sit in Battle 100% of the time in Heroic at 406 if you're playing properly

Okay

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?

chrome falcon
#

what

#

if forgestorm actually sims higher damage i'm gonna flip out

#

that sounds wrong

pallid quiver
#

Forgestorm was bis for damage iirc

#

When Moo and Nome were poking at it

chrome falcon
#

ok well as previously stated

#

i am now going to flip out

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

How many stacks we swap on Sark?

I know it was mentioned above with Neltharion, is the boss supposed to be meleeing on the same time deal as the debuff?

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

Ya. That debuff hurts

How many stacks are you guys taunting on roughly?

cinder nova

Between 8-11 depending on debuffs and movement.

Kinda ass tbh

Is it trucking you?

Cause I was getting melted

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

dry tide
#

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

cinder nova
#

There is no initial damage.

dry tide
#

It’s a melee swing that applies it no?

cinder nova
#

It is, but there's no riding fire damage.

#

It just applies a dot.

Gotcha

Either way that dot destroys

Just like the 447 shield prior the stat change, it's not reasonable to drop ilvl for a tiny St dps gain as tank

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

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

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

Tell him yeah it's just shit for WW

ez free weapon

lol

#

id rather he keep it if it bumps dps honestly

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"

lusty grotto
#

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

limpid anchor
#

Yes, so more or less: get fucked

lusty grotto
#

yeah that fucking blows for him

limpid anchor
#

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

lusty grotto
#

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

limpid anchor
#

Yeah but the higher might override the normal ones?

#

Which prob won’t happen, bcs it would still be worse loot

lusty grotto
#

ahhh

#

youre right

limpid anchor
#

Guess he’s fucked

limpid anchor
#

But even if the Eranog ring is bis, 440 from the raids are probably higher prio anyway

#

jesus christ sargha is brutal

we were like oh fuck

The swirlies are too fast

#

Think it’s 2 sec before they explode?

warm plinth
#

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

lusty grotto
#

bro double swirlies was fucking insane lol

jagged pier
#

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

lusty grotto
#

well its a new vault

jagged pier
#

Tell him to go pug it first i guess

lusty grotto
#

we'll see if we can find a group this week, it'll be hard

jagged pier
#

And see what the vault screen says

lusty grotto
#

i at least can roll for him and trade it since i have it 😄

limpid anchor
#

No you can’t

#

If you have it it’s locked for you

lusty grotto
#

fuck

#

cant bank cheese it?

limpid anchor
#

No

lusty grotto
#

rip in pieces

limpid anchor
#

Only thing we didn’t test was deleting the item

#

And after it restoring again

lusty grotto
#

that seems giga risky

limpid anchor
#

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?

fossil wind
#

got the 1st boss tank trink, but it's not showing numbers in details. any idea how good it is?

lusty grotto
#

yeah it depends for embelishments

#

there's also the cheat death shield cloak to consider

limpid anchor
#

On what does it depend?

#

Are they not flat dmg

#

(Except if you have the Eranog ring)

lusty grotto
#

yea

#

double shadowflame is the way to go otherwise

#

or 1 shadowflame and cheat death cloak

#

undulating sporecloak

limpid anchor
#

Didn’t even know there’s a cheat death em

lusty grotto
#

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

limpid anchor
#

Tbh on rashok I consider it kek

#

I got onetapped by him :(

lusty grotto
#

its not really a cheat death, but a shield, people just think its giga strong

limpid anchor
#

From the wording

#

It won’t pop anyway

lusty grotto
#

xD

limpid anchor
#

If you get from 40% to 0

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

as tanks its giga sus, but if people are dying over aoes etc

#

it works

limpid anchor
#

But huge loss in dps so yeah

#

Prob won’t be payed

#

Gotta get those grey parses

lusty grotto
#

not worth as tank yea

#

maybe

#

we will have to see

#

i mean its kind accurate, not min-maxy

#

in a more-casual-player-looking-for-something-quick way

warm plinth
#

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.

lusty grotto
#

wowhead's audience isn't really like blasting 26s and shit

#

so its a valid recommendation

#

and thats also true

#

what ghash said

warm plinth
#

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

fresh igloo
#

it also has one of the shield charge talents labelled as "bad"

warm plinth
#

I'm assuming it's taking Thunderlord instead

#

Llarold has a tendency to lean toward defensive shit

lusty grotto
#

alright bedge time

So just double patch then

and instead of penetrable wall you use instigate

enduring defense

the raid build pinned is good

but not for max dps :3

is the shadowflame sim broken?

seems like 4pc is just some more survivability but idk if thats like a big contributor

Defensively speaking, if you wanted an on use trinket, what trinket would you go for, Cragshaper or Treemouth ?

#

Do y’all macro shield slam and ignore pain together ?

jagged pier
#

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

shrewd cedar
#

Oh so you use ignore pain as usual but it’ll always land the slam proc ?

jagged pier
#

Yes

#

And you still use your Ss binding as usual

shrewd cedar
#

That makes a lot mor sense then how I was viewing it

jagged pier
#

Otherwise u gunna rage starve yourself with that macro

limpid anchor
#

(Same for block)

undone ice
#

are there a site for BIS and best craft item like icyvein?

shrewd cedar
#

Wow head has good guides

limpid anchor
#

Wow head has a shit list

undone ice
#

so Belt is best option 🙂

#

and when we have new neck we replace lariat

jagged pier
#

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

undone ice
#

yes better its keep Spark

no?

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?

you can check logs on those specific attempts and see if he's just mispressing taunt or dg

is there a chart that shows every buff dmg and whats the best one of them all?

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

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

hardy snow
#

or chill and wait

#

catalyst open in 6 weeks, season last little bit longer then that

marble cipher
#

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 😄

crude notch
#

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.

jagged pier
#

Theyve also made normal really easy

#

U can go pug and get tier very easily

ionic roost
#

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.
