Skill 
@crude notch I got a 2H.
I'll let you know if I get a shield and can upgrade it cheaper
I got 3 items from 3 dungeons yesterday. Last 2 were weapon and shield
Now I have to spam lower keys for pleb crests
there's also a list pinned
shh keep this a secret 🤫
i can
yeah
Sounds kinda sick
Very happy with devoker atm but this is far more preferable to me than offspecing prevoker

Found the bard enjoyer 
if only they could kite whole instances
to be fair
xiv also does support classes fairly well
so its not like something that has been abandoned
from the everquest/daoc days
I mean I don’t foresee me maining it but I could if it’s fun enough
Also if the damage I help provide is counted as my damage

Rift also had some really cool support classes
Unfortunately Trion ran that game into the ground
FF14 logs i believe have the damage count towards your damage.
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
Sim it
Defensive trinkets aren’t worth it
ok. then i stick to grapnel and spiteful
Eruption gonna have some dumb levels of AoE scaling bet.
Do we have a list of craftable items somewhere? Wanna start crafting
Best part is the replacement for deep breath putting a debuff on the enemies storing a portion of everyone’s damage to pop again later

Can’t wait for the giga cracked pulls around that
shield
rest is FFA honestly
if youre not gonna kill last 2 on mythic just slap shadowflame on your shield
and then you can craft neck, belt, boots however you like
what can we do against void slash to migrate the dmg?
sarketh?
y
spellblock, spell reflect, ignore pain, demo shout, shieldwall
spellblock
spellblock is absolutely OP on sarketh
literally makes pwar 2nd best tank for him imo
spellblock and ignore pain tbh
when should i use it - before slash ?
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
you can block the dots!?!?!?!?!!
yes
So then it's what pally warrior 1/2
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
dont quite udnerstadn
what dont you understand
Damn spell block makes sense I can’t believe I’ve been wiping all day without it lmao
Everything goes to shit in phase 3
Dang
What are we supposed to be doing phase 3 anyway. Basically just don’t face him to raid
move him away from shit also so people dont hurr durr and get stacks
or into bombs
and/or dont cleave dumb dps
The bomb situation seems hard for people to do
you can even block the oblivion dot
whats harder is dps getting fucking void slashed like idiots
you have to baby sit positioning
its gross
(in pugs)
thanks homie. i was thinking shield too since i have a decent 1 hander already
How close to the pillars should he be I know it sounds weird but someone said I was too far from the pillars
Or the asteroids aka rocks
a bit farther
jsut tank him in the middle
not next to them
Ok
cause they pulse
but also not in africa
cause people need to run to them for winds
i dont quite understand when i should block - right before hes doing it , or while i have the dot ?
bro
do you know how spell block works?
press it, then make sure shield block is up
read the talent/ability
both works.
Lol damn really it’s repetitive but I found it fun
Yah nelth is a cool fight
sark sucks ass
p1 and p2 are sleepmode
and p3 is DDR
dmg intake goes from 0 to 300
very cringe
I’ve enjoyed every fight except for SLG 2.0
yep
rashok 😢
The add fight
slg 2.0 was immunity dogshit waiting orb transferring soak cringe
but i guess you cant compare mythic slg vs non mythic zaq
annoying
cuz of tank combo and running after boss
but having to afk a bit to reposition
yeah i dont doubt it is
but you do have special people just running into it
lkol
yup
well i was talking pug wise
with the few pulls i did with pugs
which is why i mentioned babysit positioning
yup
too easy really
Are y'all constantly changing loot spec depending on dungeon for trinkets and weapons and whatnot?
yes
Is there a cheat sheet somewhere or should I make one myself
Honestly it’s prot spec for Forgestorm and pretty much arms for everything else, no?
not rly
you wanna avoid some tank trinkets
turns out however that the ones from NL are decent
Ahh
Damn did a Brackenhide, last boss really fucked me up. Is spellblock mandatory on it?
any benefit to going 2p + 2p, or stick to t29 4p til you can full swap to t30?
how the hell to get to these far as f dungeons faster?
Uldaman Legacy of Tyr takes ages to fly to
Theres a portal
where?
In valdrakken
uh
wow..
where is at?
ty
why nhot just put them all ogehtrer?
together*
so weird
I live in Neltharus at this point
anyone know why i cant open weakauras on only one of my characters? when i type /wa it toggles my wa's off or "pauses" them. when i left click on the minimap button it functions as if i pressed Shift+left click and pauses them. only happens on one character
lmao
Time to reinstall windows
What Legion dungeon?
so theres only 4 portals?
There is no legion dungeon.
Neltharion’s Lair (Legion)
Never heard of her
yes
there is
is there a portal to get to Neltharion’s Lair (Legion)?
or have to get to azuna and fly across the world
I didn't head butt that for 70 minutes last night, no sir.
Get to azusa or get a dalaran hearthstone
makes molten shield , gets exp kitewing with speed on it 1 day later >.<
anyone know if that new craftable shield is worth it?
Question for y'all. Would you upgrade the Experiment 1, Kitewing shield to 437 or craft the primal molten defender and upgrade it to 437?
ok. thanks and put the shadowflame patch on it when i can i assume
The new shield proc is only 350 dps, which is almost 500% less than other embellishments
thanks Nom
GOOD
was waiting to hear that one.
What do people want nerfed on that? Totem health?
Are there some wa for spell reflect this season (m+)?
All restrictions for unlocking Allied Races have been removed, with the exception of a level requirement.
curious if you guys crafted and if so which gear?
time to try an 18 NL
anvil any good?
icon + anvil or whetstone + anivl?
Crafted hear is just shield > ilvl upgrades
Whetstone + anvil
do we have new spell reflect wa?
I think that the current one has been updated for quite a few casts already
Who does prot warrior guides besides llarold?
Mwahi on icyveins
Is llarold even part of this discord?
He's here, just not very active
hey have any of you prots done zskarn heroic ?
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?
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?
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?
I thought I saw whetstone anvil
if anyone has done Zskarn heroic , ping me plz i have some questions haha
Not rly no
Both are the same
They're inconsequential
Ok but the trickle healing is not as good as absorbs are they not? Like one I control vs the other just existing
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
:pepehands
They're both inconsequential it's super hard to quantify
And rather irrelevant
Both will work just fine
Yes
Haste vers
Or haste crit
@strong forum hey you're cute
Thx u 2
Thanks
welp
post nerf
almost 2 chested NL
but wiped to dargrul cuz he's still a bitch
They are approximately equal, but obviously depends on your current stats too
I'm surprised they didn't nerf the damage when the add moves. I thought that was the big culprit on that boss
It really is man lol
That 18 Dargrul fuckin' HURT
and his tankbuster S L A P S
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
We just had everyone stand in melee behind the boss to bait the add and then insta stunned it
Hard boss amirite 
It felt pretty irrelevant honestly
I'm tanking on my Paladin so I have no idea.
Yeah that was the high key strat in Legion as well

I'm surprised they didn't nerf the first or second boss either
They were still pretty nasty
Mm, people make the first and second boss hard though
The second boss magic cast thing is like way too fast lmao
So crit would've been better for bosses like kokia bloodhoof where a parry can save you a ton of hp
You got the jokers who can't follow the statue, the people who can't move out of the hands
Yes
the og grabby hands
Yeah sunder you have to kinda press it when the timer is about up and hope
Hey boys what to craft first for m+ pushing? shield? waist?
Because his spell queueing can fuck it
I think they said shield then ilvl upgrades
That’s probably hidden aura now right
Yeah would've made it at least 1.5
I would imagine but who knows; might have overlooked it
and better is shield with versa or with immolation?
Yeah that's what I was saying, but it's not always consistent sadly
if not on cd, press SR and hope
immolation?
Yeah it's just odd they didn't change that when they changed Dargul's cast
Like if they're trying to make things more consistent they should 100% change it imo
Cause they play Prot Paladin and don't think about it
When do we get Cathedral M+ so I can get those spicy chaotic energies reflects again
by far yea
Shield of the heart or shadowed impact Buckler?
Neither
Not too many kicks required in there either
Primal Molten Defender
I want Conductive Strike back already 
You guys wanna know the biggest meme of 10.1.5
Three specs are getting reworks. And none of them are VDH 
They decided to make Meta 4m base and make every DH spend a point on making it 3m again
DH's just get 30 class talent points
Like, imagine having 4 talents improving your active mitigation button and it still sucks
Imagine being able to get Sigil of Chains ever
anyone notice the boss in nelth lair is bugged? The strike of the mountain instantly killing with no visual
👀
idk just did it on a 18 and didn't experience that
ya same.. it was insta killing us
ya just be sure u are moving boss in right area so totem spawns well in relation to the moving circle
awk
Also imagine being able to get Fiery Brand stuff while making Demon Spikes less shit
I couldn't
yeah...
idk why they're so scared of letting Vengeance have 100% uptime on Demon Spikes
Like it's not even that strong of an active mit lol
I think the question was more in relation to the heal absorb. Does SR/SB reduce absorb size?
Don't even get me started on Calcified Spikes....
Right?
this would like a chat
Every Druid spec talents into at least 3 spells they'll never press while playing their spec.
I have new 2 set and I wonder if I should go for bolster. I don't think it's super worth yet
Well the first pin, would disagree.
Def worth to go Bolster so you can run Into the Fray in M+
In raid it's prob worth as well
Better than 4p from last tier so
Hi guys, for the M+ its haste crit now ? someone can help me please ?
Ask away
It's been haste crit since the start of the expansion
Oh ok thanks
I thought the pin said to break immediately your old set if you get 2 set
I thought it said you go holster at 4
My bad
are you guys able to deal with shrapnel bombs as warrior on hzskarn?
@thorny stone okay so, i was doing mechs,. and such but i was just melting, should i take less stacks of the dot ? cause i just had nothing lol
I did it with wall and it was fine, but definitely called for immunity classes to do it if wall wasn't up.
Please. I'm here because I needed to escape that sinking ship. Please don't refresh my PTSD
Entirety of vdh discord was on suicide watch that night
I've been on a three week soul searching mission that led me here
its apart of the class fantasy
how are you supposed to come back with vengeance if you were always the best?
Rofl
Is it part of my blood dk fantasy to be throwing up blood whenever I see them gutted?
Who all is getting spec reworks?
Mage, guardian, holy pal
so random question, If embelishment cap isnt a problem , when do you replace a 395 lariat
a 395? lol
Guardian was bound to happen eventually there has been a lot of griping and sooner or later it was happening so when I saw the rework word I instantly thought of them
sim, but its likely very soon
Anything would replace it lol
Like 408 ilevel
so sim it
3 gem stones + effect wont matter if it gets outdps'd by a higher ilvl neck
I didn’t see the guardian one! That’s good tho!
So at this point, pre-tier. Should the plan for the shadowflame embellishment just be boots?
I just do it now, and it's great.
you spell reflect on all every boss there except the first one
Dont want to craft it into a tier slot just yet and boots is the highest stat budget piece left
Ularogg sunder = difficult reflect but worth
Naraxas toxic retch = easy spell reflect
Dagrul molten crash = easy spell reflect
all of them do damage to each boss
for reference check out the blockable / reflectable sheet by Sense in the pins
Dagrul.the damage to reflect its too big, I just.reflect 3 and 1.5mill
all of them do big damage
I use the aura for that
the aura is based on the sheet
I suppose yes


does anyone know why the crit is better now?
It's not better now. It's the same as it has been all expansion.
i was going for that
crit/haste?
this is progress tbh
up until recently everyone came in here saying "vers is bis, yeah?"
in a way its kind of sad that we have to say to ppl ilvl first lol
its like, this is fundamental to RPG
in halls of infusion, last boss, its better to SR focused deluge or squall buffet?
From what I've heard and feelycraft without having logged on, probably the knockback Squall so he doesn't sneak a melee on one of your DPS
do we run onyx and erranog ring in m+?
Yah I still am
it goes up with forge
I did a sim and it told me not to
since more fire procs
true, dont have forge yet tho
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
what gems we runnin for / or "preferred", mixed answers, just a nice cookie cutter . desirous blood / prophetic / freezing ? M+
Storm in M+, not freezing
what dungeons are you guys considering really bad atm
the cd on molten crash in nelths lair is so rng
its like 15-35s until he recasts
thanks brullzard
Are the nerfs a hotfix or do we wait til reset?
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
I def was not looking at both lmao
XD
Yeah the volcanic damage is bigger
also I have not been able to replicate any issues with interrupting the trinket
saw someone mentioned it earlier so i've been trying
I'll interrupt your trinket, if you know what I mean
ty guys, I'll be sure to look at both sources of damage now.
❤️
just now, from max distance, pop trinket, then heroic throw, and it still pulls me to the mob
details shows the volcanic damage as well as the physical
That's good
sim
Anyone found a consistent way of getting the beam on you after the knock on last boss in halls?
Without melee just running back
what beam
tank beam after the knockback
He does the knockback into the channelled beam
i've had teh same issue
We just have our melee either run away or stand behind a pet
For safety
But it’s like 2m damage reflect
What's the... spell name?
Focused Deluge
idk just charge back in?
Nop
Or leap the moment cast finishes
Leap is rough Cus of the balls
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
Can’t get a good leap
legit just leap like 2ft to the left
you don't have to go to narnia
And if there are too many orbs, move
I’m not sure if you can move backward while he’s casting the knock back
So you can actually charge
And I know you can charge it but I have no idea if it puts you in range
It ain’t consistent
Wait, I thought you could reflect the knock back? Should I be eating the knock and reflecting deluge?
Ideally yea
On a 20 the reflect of the deluge was doing 2m damage
To boss
You can reflect both
when annulet ded
it hasnt been power crept by new 44x ring?
sims say otherwise
lame
i took the item box for 5 heroic dungeons, it gave me a ring with haste crit
curently got 418 fire absorb ring from quest
it's dead in aoe with high ilvl stat rings
but looking bis for single target until nerfs
i think only nerfs should be ot gets so old and weak it filters itself out cuz there is new crap
maybe 11.0 its greya
that's a big warrior
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
What is the macro you have right now
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
Oh dear
Holy shit
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.
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
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.
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
How do you jump though 👀
So I kind of wanted this as an alternative to the more usual Charge + Victory Rush/hamstring combo
mouse wheel down
Counter Strike
or wait, middle mouse i mean, not scroll
But yeah, looks like you either need to put them on separate binds or add a mod for one of them
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
Bro your keybinds are WILD
which means I have AQW for ability use as well
Just tried macroing charge and shield charge.. It does indeed let you use both at once.
weird right?
Just put them separately on a hidden action bar and bind them individually
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.
all my action bars are hidden
Yes I also remember something like that which makes me confused now
I don't understand prob then ig
The problem is that he wanted them both on one button
But without shield charge casting whenever he presses Charge
But yeah I think removing reticle leap is a pretty easy compromise
@ cursor does me fine
I don't even have reticle leap bound
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
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
Okay so I'm not crazy then
don't freak out about my binds. you guys should try moving hand one step in
Nasty
hehe
also, index finger on F means I have the exact same posture in vim as in wow
my two favorite three-letter combinations
To each their own ;D
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
I don't have the dexterity in my pinky to use shit to the left of my movement keys
Or I guess you're using your ring finger?
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
You use your pinky for W?
Oh okay
also ring for Q
You're definitely not the only person who uses the ESDF movement keys though for sure
I've met a few in here
I just don't really need the extra buttons personally
I started doing this because I wanted to have zero modifiers, everything one button away
I use a G600 which has like 15 extra buttons
And that has all my utility/defensives on it
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

enh shammy got it
wait no
monk did
rogue and enh sadge
I gotta upgrade it too
that way
I ensure I get one from my box
We had 6 and a half mins left
healer was dooming last boss too
me and the rogue were heroes
lets go pog drop
you're drunk
TWO of the boys got pogstorm in the same night
thats whats up
i wont farm mine until i can reliably run 17s haha
soon enough
Ey I got one of those too on my ppal
I literally just realized.. 
was in a key when I first saw it
I'd like to do 4.4% of your overall if you know what I mean
👀


3.5 for me, but i also played poorly on this key
how did blood stone proced that much?
guys do you know what should we do about embolishments?
It's inflated cause I played like shit and my gear isn't very high to begin with
Where is shield slam, TC, and Revenge?
All not pictured cauzw I was just trying to beat a Dead horse
I also felt it was important to realy the 90k my charge did over that key
Oh I see, it's scrolled down
daddy has some shines but doent know what to craft for embolishments khelp pls 😄
there is nothing about embolishments
Smh nom
im not that wise,simply have to use them 😄

This is bs, right? Only starting to play again since 2 months ago today
Sub creation teirs are bases off usage data
It's had 3 days to collect data
And everyone's sucking off pally
That's what I thought. I was just surprised to see us the lowest still. But thanks!
I would argue prot pal is a head above the other tanks
But the fact is not as large as sub creation would imply
It's the curse of usage based data
Any other more credible source?
None that I'm aware of. You can do your own research and compare usage to completion to highest completed and extrapolate your own conclusions but honestly that's work
Yeah I understand. Thanks anyway!
Long story short, don't let people use statistics they don't understand to bully you into playing things you don't want to play.
if i upgrade a 424 piece to 437, if i get a future 428 drop, i can upgrade the 428 to 441 with just a mythic crest and flightstone right?
Assuming it's not a trinket or a ring, yes
With ring/trinket, it uses the lower ilevel of the two slots to base the discounts off of.
ok thank you
U.gg/wow is doing wonders compared to sub creation. Actual number values instead of purely usage stats.
im fairly sure the numbers they give out are just not right
rather its pretty misleading
I haven't looked too into it, but I believe it's showing highest logged dmg for # and tier by popularity.
am I ever going to replace my 421 whetstone or is this thing now part of me forever?
yeah pretty soon
You will replace it
when 1400 str
will replace w/ 4 str 4 sta leather belt
Wtf is a augment evoker and where is my gladiator warrior spec.
Augment evoker is like the difficulty Blizzard has had balancing Disc priest since it started being the damage-to-heal spec but multiplied by 1000
what's the strat for last boss in uldaman? for the puddles
Semi stack and kite clockwise
Yerp. DPS/healer stack behind boss, move as needed for room
ahh ok noted
Quick Q, should we be using S1 talents for raid/m+ until we get 10.1 2pc? or just switch now..
Wait til 2pc
ty ty
I took between 7-12 stacks before swapping, didn't had any issues
how do you add higher ilvl items of your bag items into raidbots again?
suppose I have the following:
# Seal of Questionable Loyalties (421)
# finger1=,id=158314,bonus_id=9323/6652/9413/9144/3291/8767
But, I wanna add the fully upgraded one to sim?
👌
Unless you're doing like an advanced sim or something, just click the plus sign next to the item in top gear and you can create one
... well I'll be damned
I'm not even gonna ask how long that has been in there yet 🤣
first month of the expansion no biggie
when do you tank swap at Zskarn hc? we did it at 11 stacks but it was kinda heavy. maybe 5-6 stacks?
well it has to be when stacks fall off
so its around 9-10
its based on the debuff timer not the stacks
How much haste should i focus on before prioritizing vers/crit?
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
but what i saw from wednesday the debuff didnt drop off until like 10 stacks on the other tank
🤷
can i see on wowlogs the number of stacks the tanks take?
~7100 good luck getting there
the one with the bombs and traps in the room
yes
i died and our monk tank took like 20 stacks easy
thats monk for u
u can try 5-6 stack but i dont think the debuff would have fallen off it looks like its been changed since the ptr
or getting extra stacks of the buff increase the duration or somthing
🤷
does spellblock helps here in any way?
i know you can spellblock the dot? at sarkareth.
Our monk had 36 stacks before death
He transformed into dk
ya'll upgrading your shiedl with spark ye?
did you guys farm the mythic crests before upgrading shield? or just went with heroic one for spark craft?
That weapon? 😮
Using crests on heroik items is more worth than 20s
i have a 437 shield atm and got the raid axe hc yesterday it is 437 (can upgrate to 441) too. i got both crafted weapon and shield at 421. what should i upgrate first now? shield or weapon?
you had to finish the questline to get the free enchanted crest before killing boss ye?
huge f, not retroactive?
guesss i can rekill
ye
are we dumping flighjtstones on anything?
seal will still be bis without the belt?
im going to farm the 4 aspects crests, 50% there, worth dumping into shield ?
Wep procs it
only got a 408 seal, how does compare?

Sim it
i mean in general we probably should still recommend the crafted neck just due to the haste gains
yer i know
Is it just me or is the damage profile a ton of physical this tier (good for us)?
Looking through logs from last raid, my DK-co-tank is just taking massive damage compared to me.
But he’s also massively healing compèred to you :>
At least on the first 7, it’s mainly magic damage that hurts (rashok, zkarn)
hes a bdk
they will always take more damage
because they heal it that is their class design
we are designed to mitigate it all
Should i break my 4p of S1 for the 2p of s2 ? 
yes
yer its big
did a few pugs yesterday
one with a shamman not speced into decurse
-.-
even tho the item thing is nice u could just cast it with 1-.5 secs of the cast of the shield and it will hit shield and u didnt need ot care about the swirls at all
I did a 14 last night and it felt like the curse did nothing to be honest. The major issue for us was people not picking up the items in advance so we'd be in shield phase for far too long and people would get clapped by the fire. 😂
Yeah, but pug brains struggle hard
try having 4 stacks
I suppose at that point it might do something. Haha
Did the curse just stack up indefinitely before? Like every item you picked up would just stack another one on you?
yes
u can actually bug the boss if u break the shield fast enough
Oh?
the fire swirlies keep spawning till next shield
LOL
New Augmentation Evoker Spec raid defensive is Rallying Cry. I guess all we're wanted for now is Battle Shout.

Ah ok cant watch video
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
Dargrul is such a loser failing his AM checks.
worth dropping the 2 set for prot for 10 ilvl?
oh holy shit I just realized u dont want to spell reflect the knock back in Halls Last Boss!
nope
why not xd
yes but that goes to my healer
2mil damage on 1 cast at 18
normally it wont becouse it goes on u if you stick to boss really close after knock back
atleast I had that always never saw that going on someone else.
It also says ur current Target. If u are not in meele range u are not the target.
You can force it on you I believe if you taunt right at the end of the knock cast
Like right before the knock happens
Uh... can you avoid Falling Debris on Ularogg?
focused deluge always goes on you if you spell reflect the squall
if it didnt then you prob walked out of his melee range
and yeah you kinda do want it on you because you have cds, how tf u think a healer will live 2m damage over you
Just heal it 
It's meant to be an incentive to find the correct idol/kill the idols quickly. It will fall the entire time any totems are out.
Practically one shotting the party.
Are Brackenhide Hollow one of the hardet duengons for Warrior Proc? The last boss was very hard with Decaystrike before the nerf. Maybe better after the nerfs?
Love that brew has to turn it's back to the boss on that fight
Why?
just did 18 was fine with refl and wall
Because Decaying Strength falls off with Autos
the dungeon has been nerfed now dont forget
I dodged 7 straight Autos earlier and the boss sat at 5 stacks for 30 seconds, goodtimes.
Although they've changed Decaying Strength buff so
With Shield Block or what you mean?
hahaha he is messing with u
He is not messing with him
Decaystrike is physical so, no.
Decaystrike is blockable.
He's not messing with him
I have SB up but the debuff was on me. But yeah, it's nerf now so I can take it next time :)
Any prot bis list or something? Got thrown back into tank prison instead of fury cranking sadge
Dumb question, would you break 4 set for ilvl upgrade, I've never thought much of the 4 set, I've simmed and it's a small upgrade but not sure if it balances out with loosing the 4 set from voti
How much ilvl
How many items
If its just 1 item, no matter how many ilvl it's not worth
If its 2 items with 15+ ilvl, yeah then it's aight unless you push big keys
breaking old 4p for just 3ilvl upgrade on just legs sims on me for more dps, so its worth 
OK thanks, it's small ill upgrade in 1 slot, 421 to 424 I think it was
Yeah that's what I simmed aswell but for a helm
which item are u guys using ur Spark of Shadowflame on?
Shield
its that the prefered option or just in ur case?
It's the smart option.
everybodies case
Nom what about tank DPS tho
ait ty
but that's later
u but shadowflame on shield anyway
no
I want big ilvl weppy now
no thats now
forgestorm is more dmg even now
even a 424 forgestorm beats almost every weapon
^
damn
Does that work? I couldn’t select that for the shield when I checked
pretty sure you can craft flamepatch on every armor item
shield is classified as armor
^
Last time I checked forgestorm only Beat same ilvl weps. Was the sim bugged?
Equip eranog ring
It’s all about the ring!
it was a 1.4k increase at the same ilvl over a wep for me
ya okay, that’s why. I rerolled on Prot this season so I don’t have the ring
But ye, the wep is busted
the dudes i deplete keys with gifted me gametime 
i got a question regarding upgrates. when u already got a decent shield and weapon. 437 and 441. would you upgrate another item, or craft something you dont own yet? i got lariat 221 and i am thinking of crafting a non embellish neck at max. or the other think i could do i wait for my vault next reset. i could run sim but i guess sim will tell me up upgrate my crafted weapon
tldr is it the same as 10.0 but with spicy gear?
