i mentioned it earlier

Very happy with devoker atm but this is far more preferable to me than offspecing prevoker

Found the bard enjoyer Pepexecute

to be fair

#

xiv also does support classes fairly well

so its not like something that has been abandoned

from the everquest/daoc days

chilly brook
#

Also if the damage I help provide is counted as my damage

chilly brook
#

Unfortunately Trion ran that game into the ground

crude notch
#

FF14 logs i believe have the damage count towards your damage.

chilly brook
#

It do

#

You can filter to raw damage and damage including buffs to everyone

lusty grotto
#

yeah like bull said

#

that's being worked into

#

as per the article

so info will be included in the combat log, which will be totally logable

This alone makes it interesting enough

Actual skill based upkeep

would you use the chaos grapnel or not?

Defensive trinkets aren’t worth it

literally makes pwar 2nd best tank for him imo

#

spellblock and ignore pain tbh

long stone
#

when should i use it - before slash ?

strong forum
#

During it

#

You can block the dots, so just make sure to either send it 0.1sec before voidslash hits you

#

Or so that you get full duration of Spellblock for the debuff

crude notch
#

you can block the dots!?!?!?!?!!

strong forum
#

yes

crude notch

So then it's what pally warrior 1/2

strong forum
#

in a perfect world where you dont need monk buff

#

yes

#

if you couldnt block the dots pwar would be worse than BDK

#

but because you can, pwar is the 2nd best to reduce raid dmg intake

cuz ignore pain and spellblock

move him away from shit also so people dont hurr durr and get stacks

The bomb situation seems hard for people to do

hey have any of you prots done zskarn heroic ?

glacial skiff
#

So I did the math recently for fueled by violence and brutal vitality and they’re somewhat close for me in an M+ run, though fueled is slightly ahead. Wouldn’t you want to run brutal vitality over fueled since absorbed damage>healed damage and since the value is only likely better on mass multitarget?

strong forum
#

With the brv bug existing and IP having a cap aswell as you spamming IP in aoe

#

Both scale the same into aoe

#

So that point is moot

What if I didn't get my whetstone s1. Am I just screwed?

No?

You just get better trinkets

livid dawn
#

Oh. Did I misread the message

#

Anvil, grapnel, beacon and Mark of dargrul are all better

But BRV is definitely better in single target right?

if anyone has done Zskarn heroic , ping me plz i have some questions haha

Both are the same

Ok but the trickle healing is not as good as absorbs are they not? Like one I control vs the other just existing

strong forum
#

Both just exist

#

BrV is 15% conditional absorb leech vs fbv being roughly 4% real leech

Fbv with full value is 2k hps

BrV can just stop working cuz bug

And 0 value when IP full

# livid dawn Why is there an "or" there

Crit is more dmg, parry provides a significant amount of dmg reduction in a key
Vers is a safe Allrounder but less dmg and very inconsequential until you can literal tons of it

I'm surprised they didn't nerf the first or second boss either

Mm, people make the first and second boss hard though

Dont want to craft it into a tier slot just yet and boots is the highest stat budget piece left

For annulet, pribably rocked all the way to top ilvl items, but at that point, it's still bis for ST so it'd depend if you want to focus on prio/ST damage or AOE I'd guess. Sims won't lead you astray once they're stavle, though

Hey guys, with the Zaqali Chaos Grapnel, is there a specific way to use it?, i feel like at the end of dungeons the damage it has done it very low. I usually pop cd's +demo shout for increased damage then use it.

Well, using CDs and demo shout with it makes no difference

All our CDs are whitelisted. They only affect our abilities.

If i use the trinket on an enemy, then charge in, does that screw the trinket over and not do its affect, or is it ok to do that

and I did not know that ty lol

I don't know. I have not used that one specifically

Are you looking at both sources of damage, btw?

It does two separate hits so it would show up twice on details

Anyone found a consistent way of getting the beam on you after the knock on last boss in halls?

#

Without melee just running back

cinder nova
#

what beam

dire sparrow
#

tank beam after the knockback

cinder monolith
#

He does the knockback into the channelled beam

dire sparrow
#

i've had teh same issue

cinder monolith
#

We just have our melee either run away or stand behind a pet

#

For safety

#

But it’s like 2m damage reflect

cinder nova
#

What's the... spell name?

cinder monolith
#

Can’t remember the name tbh

#

Not on pc atm

cinder nova
#

Focused Deluge?

#

Or Squall Buffet?

dire sparrow
#

Focused Deluge

cinder monolith
#

Buffet is knock

#

Deluge is beam

cinder nova
#

idk just charge back in?

cinder monolith
#

Nop

cinder nova
#

Or leap the moment cast finishes

cinder monolith
#

Leap is rough Cus of the balls

dire sparrow
#

he's meant to hit his current target, but if you have melee on the boss, for 1 second he'll change during the knockback even with charge

cinder monolith
#

Can’t get a good leap

cinder nova
#

legit just leap like 2ft to the left

#

you don't have to go to narnia

#

And if there are too many orbs, move

cinder monolith
#

I’m not sure if you can move backward while he’s casting the knock back

#

So you can actually charge

cinder nova
#

you... don't... need to?

#

Just leap

cinder monolith
#

Brother I’ve tried leaping

#

Every time

cinder nova
#

And I know you can charge it but I have no idea if it puts you in range

cinder monolith
#

It ain’t consistent

sudden sable
#

Wait, I thought you could reflect the knock back? Should I be eating the knock and reflecting deluge?

cinder monolith
#

Ideally yea

#

On a 20 the reflect of the deluge was doing 2m damage

#

To boss

#

You can reflect both

Do any of you guys know of a good way to macro Shield Charge and regular Charge into the same macro? I can't seem to have it together without using both on the same gcd. I know separate buttons are better but I'm working on a zero-modifier config

warm plinth
#

What is the macro you have right now

warm summit
#

Are you ready?

#

It's a mess but its my mess

#

#showtooltip
/cancelaura Bladestorm
/cast [mod:ctrl] Heroic Leap; [known: Intervene,nomod,@mouseover,help,nodead] Intervene;[@mouseover,harm,nodead][]Charge
/cast [mod:ctrl] Heroic Leap; [nomod,@mouseover,harm,nodead][]Shield Charge

warm plinth
#

Oh dear

sudden sable
#

Holy shit

warm plinth
#

It's interesting that it's casting shield charge at the same time as Charge, because it's not supposed to be able to cast while you're already charging afaik.

warm summit
#

If we completely ignore the parts with cancelaura, heroic leap and intervene (which works fine) I still have the issue where I press one button, Shield Charge and one "charge" of regular Charge goes off

warm plinth
#

If it's casting both with it in this order, then I'm not sure what you can do to make it not do that without adding a mod to one of them.

warm summit
#

Just for context, I've had charge on space since TBC, I have shift+space as @-cursor Heroic Leap and use ctrl-space if I need the reticle. That's why it is in tehre

#

One cool thing with this is that regular charge has a minimum range, while shield charge doesn't

warm plinth
#

How do you jump though 👀

warm summit
#

So I kind of wanted this as an alternative to the more usual Charge + Victory Rush/hamstring combo

#

mouse wheel down

#

Counter Strike

warm plinth
#

bruh what lol

#

Gonna move right on from that

warm summit
#

or wait, middle mouse i mean, not scroll

warm plinth
#

But yeah, looks like you either need to put them on separate binds or add a mod for one of them

warm summit
#

complete movement with mouse, means i have a free hand

#

yup, don't feel like using alt though so I might remove reticle-leap to free up one bind

#

I've also moved the entire set inwards one step since forever ago, so I use ESDF for movement instead of WASD

sudden sable
#

Bro your keybinds are WILD

warm plinth
warm summit
#

which means I have AQW for ability use as well

pulsar sedge
#

Just tried macroing charge and shield charge.. It does indeed let you use both at once.

sudden sable
#

Just put them separately on a hidden action bar and bind them individually

warm plinth
#

Huh. I could've sworn in beta they didn't let you use Shield Charge if you cast Charge first (e.g. charge first in the macro). Guess they changed it, or I'm misremembering.

warm summit
#

all my action bars are hidden

#

Yes I also remember something like that which makes me confused now

sudden sable
#

I don't understand prob then ig

warm plinth
#

The problem is that he wanted them both on one button

#

But without shield charge casting whenever he presses Charge

warm summit
#

I'm literally looking for a solution where they are not bound individually though

#

^

warm plinth
#

But yeah I think removing reticle leap is a pretty easy compromise

#

@ cursor does me fine

#

I don't even have reticle leap bound

warm summit
#

yes you're absolutely right

#

ctrl-space is super convenient as well

#

and fits well to have Shield Charge be a mod+regular charge bind

pulsar sedge
#

Only one ive ever used is

#

#showtooltip charge
/cast [@mouseover, exists, help, nodead] Intervene
/cast [exists, nodead, harm] Charge
/cast [exists,nodead,harm] Shield Charge

#

It used to prio charge over shield charge.. but now does both lol

warm plinth
#

Okay so I'm not crazy then

warm summit
#

don't freak out about my binds. you guys should try moving hand one step in

pulsar sedge
#

Nasty

warm summit
#

hehe

#

also, index finger on F means I have the exact same posture in vim as in wow

#

my two favorite three-letter combinations

pulsar sedge
#

To each their own ;D

warm summit
#

Haha yes absolutely! But good to know that I've been able to share my frustration about Shield Charge + Charge macro with some of you at least. I will now simply not do it

warm plinth
#

Or I guess you're using your ring finger?

warm summit
#

I feel like that's because you don't use shit to the left of your movement keys

#

nah pinky, but I don't regularly use A/Z

warm plinth
#

You use your pinky for W?

warm summit
#

I put most important things on WRG and M4/M5

#

no ring finger for w

warm plinth
#

Oh okay

warm summit
#

also ring for Q

warm plinth
#

So ring for W, pinky for QAZ

#

Oh

#

Okay yeah I can see that

warm summit
#

yes pinky is mostly reserved for shift/ctrl

#

also tab for stance dance

warm plinth
#

You're definitely not the only person who uses the ESDF movement keys though for sure

#

I've met a few in here

warm summit
#

We might also have different layouts

#

ESDF master-race

warm plinth
#

I just don't really need the extra buttons personally

warm summit
#

I started doing this because I wanted to have zero modifiers, everything one button away

warm plinth
#

I use a G600 which has like 15 extra buttons

#

And that has all my utility/defensives on it

warm summit
#

Yeah I did that for a while but I wanted a light mouse for CS etc

#

used a Naga for years, it was super nice

#

That's a lot nicer. Works well

its based on the debuff timer not the stacks

this was was so heavy for me. i had 11 stacks and took a bomb and just died. even with a shield wall up. i was looking at an old ptr video from sense and they swapped at 6 stacks. some guides say taunt swap at few stacks as possible. do you have any pointers to survive that? sure i can take a hand of protection and take all 3 bombs. or let hunters etc soak. or would you say that 11 stacks are fine and i need to play better. this was the only fight i had big surviving problems

ive not done it on hc yet

Molten smash reflect

Reflecting it is not a bug

#

The boss getting yeeted when you reflect it is

lament shell
#

Ah ok cant watch video

warm plinth
#

In Legion, we had what were called Active Mitigation checks, which basically meant you needed to have each tank's active mitigation spell active to negate a portion of a mechanic

#

And Molten Crash's active mitigation check was that if you didn't have e.g. Shield Block up, the crash would do more damage and knock you super far

#

At some point, Blizzard bugged the boss and if you reflected it, the boss would get knocked instead.

#

The reason being that technically the mechanic wasn't blocked (since Spell Reflect triggers before any mitigation), so the game thought he failed the AM check and thus yeeted him

crude notch
#

Dargrul is such a loser failing his AM checks.
