Do y’all have a general rule of thumb for how you manage ignore pain uptime? Are you always trying to keep shield block & IP up together? Do you rotate? Totally situational?

Getting into harder content with my prot warrior for the first time (I’m still very new to tanking and the class) and I’m finding managing rage to be fairly challenging, and wonder if I’m popping revenge and IP too often

Hi do you think trinket poly of VP it’s good for prot ?

#

Guys with rashok 3 tank busters do I need to taunt after the 2nd or during the 2nd to get the third on me?

#

I’m a little confused about those casts

wispy canopy
#

During the second for taking the third

sick sentinel
#

Hey guys, is there a weakaura to tell me when to press spell block ?
or an addon
or whatever

marble cipher
#

If you'd taunt during a cast, to get the following cast. Then you'd never be able to mitigate two of the same casts if they're the first two though?
Haven't tanked the boss, but I'm thinking it'll be 'taunt during the cast you wanna have on you'.
But. Maybe it's better for someone that has actually tanked it to give the info okayge

granite pond
#

You taunt during - Rashok immediately changes aggro unlike most other bosses with taunt swaps. So if the first ability hits the other tank and the second is the same ability, you taunt immediately during the 2nd cast. If the 2nd is different, then let it go off and taunt immediately during 3rd

marble cipher

Confirms what I was expecting it to be then, thanks 👌

You learn the threatening magic damage in dungeons and press it for those.

Hey guys,

I've got Well fed on my shield from last season. I'm reading that we want shadowflame patches. Am I losing much by not going SFP on my shield?

crude notch
#

Just put Shadowflame patch somewhere else

sick sentinel
#

i asked again because new people might know

#

no need to be an asshole

#

that big green circle in bhh does a ton of dmg

#

ran it on a 5 last night and only scary part at allwas going up hill to second boss after first boss, 2 died to ??? after final boss when we did %

unkempt hinge
#

After running the key about 16 times!

#

I finally got it

Please don't tell me it's not good anymore xd

would be hell to run sbg with cant be stunned dearhbolters

hazy bronze
#

You can still kick

sick sentinel
#

thats why i was saying bhh final boss circle should move faster unpredictable

#

i didnt realize how much damage it did

hardy snow
#

so no issue there

sick sentinel
#

now, its just annoying emcahnic if the totem spawn in the greeen GG get fucked

#

at the final boss there is a solo patrol that comes fairly close to the boss area, are we suppoed to pull him before boss ? bhh again

hardy snow
#

totem spawn far away from boss, you can position boss so totem spawns right where the aoe is, so it goes away when it spawns

red siren
#

Hi, is it worth to craft shield in 447 the first week and if yes wich stat is the best on this item ?

sick sentinel
#

oh okay about totem ill try to remember

#

what about the patrol guy

crude notch
#

yes you should pull him

#

Yall got any tips on beating mage tower? the add management is kind of obnoxious

astral crystal
round socket
#

anyone done Sark heroic? any tips?

sick sentinel
#

should I immediately change my gear when I get like legs or helmet

#

or keep the set untill i can replace it fully

#

dropped legs which are an ilvl upgrade but would destroy my set bonus so dunno

still crater
sick sentinel
#

yes ty I know about the new set but I have not obtained it yet

#

Do I enchant with shadowflame wreathe or frozen devotion?

Sim, but most likely Shadowflame. Although personally I'd go frozen until I'm sitting on like a 447.

hey guys which rings should i get for m+

royal eagle
#

how do i upgrade my Primal Molten Defender from 424 ?

lusty grotto
#

crests

#

and submitting a reforge order

#

4 wyrm or 4 aspect crests to an enchanter first, then reforge the item with it

brisk mortar
#

Hey all, had a question which i am very confused about

#

i have new normal 2pc - 418 i lvl, and i have 4pc from previous raid at ilvl around 400; is it worth dropping 4pc bonus for the 2pc

royal eagle
#

any EU enchanters here ?

#

need help with a wyrm reforge

lusty grotto
#

just put up a public order

royal eagle
#

it wont let me

lusty grotto
#

well it should, youre doing something wrong

royal eagle
#

''start recrafting prder'' right ?

lusty grotto
#

to craft enchanted crests?

#

no

royal eagle
#

no i have craftewd the crest, i need to recraft the shield with the crest

lusty grotto
#

ok

#

did you swap the spark?

#

you cant upgrade with the crests unless you swapped the sparks to the shadowflame one

royal eagle
#

so i need a new spark ?

lusty grotto
#

...

#

obviously

royal eagle
#

how is that obviously

lusty grotto
#

ok what did you think the new sparks were for?

royal eagle
#

crafting items

lusty grotto
#

you can only upgrade 424 items, if your item is not 424 you havent swapped sparks

royal eagle
#

my item is 424

lusty grotto
#

is it?

royal eagle
#

yup

lusty grotto
#

cause you havent swapped spark

#

screenshot

royal eagle
#

i want it at 437

#

what do u mean swapped

lusty grotto
#

im having trouble going along with this

#

did you use a spark of shadowflame for it or not?

royal eagle
lusty grotto
#

put a screenshot of your recraft attempt

#

then yes you DID use the spark

royal eagle
lusty grotto
#

which you could have said "i already swapped it" when i asked about it

royal eagle
#

i never swapped anything i crafted the shield brand new yesterday xD

lusty grotto
#

oh youre trying to make a recraft public order lol

royal eagle
#

yess

lusty grotto
#

well you cant, get a crafter

#

same guy that crafted it

royal eagle
#

ok then 😆

lusty grotto
#

my message about public orders was for enchanted crests not for a recraft on whatever item

royal eagle
#

fair enough

rugged mango
#

wich of those 3 shields should i craft ?

lusty grotto
#

primal molten

cunning knot
#

Who can link a good S2 spell reflect reminder weakaura when you are targeted?

sick sentinel
#

i still only have 424 shield

#

i just crafted shield and that was it

twin comet
#

How do you get the new spark?

sick sentinel
#

im not sure

lusty grotto
#

you should have gotten one doing the story of the caverns

#

and completing the reputation quest in loamm

sick sentinel
#

i like that you can upgrade, anything, but there is a bunch of currencies tied to it again

lusty grotto
#

then you get this week's half by doing the rep quest once again

frozen rose
#

Y’all think we still B tier after 4 piece ?

#

For raid

lusty grotto
#

unsure if you can catch up if you missed last week's rep quest

sick sentinel
#

i have another half, i should be caught up

lusty grotto
#

not you

#

the guy that asked

sick sentinel
#

once i craft the base s2 shield, i have to gather the s2 infusions from dungeons, like s1

lusty grotto
#

crests

sick sentinel
#

i think? thats how it works

lusty grotto
#

they are called crests

#

but yes

sick sentinel
#

right, so, i need, i think its tier 3 pieces to go beyond 424 then

lusty grotto
#

you need 4 wyrms and/or 4 aspects and you need to send them to an enchanter to craft an enchanted crest

sick sentinel
#

i have like, 8 and then i had 2 or 3 of second one

round pendant
#

god damn the paladin discord sucks

twin comet
#

Are sparks are called crests now? I have a lot of those but haven't looked into crafting anything yet

lusty grotto
#

no

#

sparks are sparks

twin comet
#

Thanks

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
sick sentinel
#

right, i put that in my s1 421 shield to make it 424

lusty grotto
#

whelplings wont work yogi

#

they need to be wyrm or aspect

#

thats my pally whos an enchanter

sick sentinel
#

yeh im saying i think its the 3rd in that series to get past 424

trim pumice
#

To go past 424 you need wyrm (11-15M+) or aspect(16+)

lusty grotto
#

correct

sick sentinel
#

i think they are essentially in this order: lfr, normal, heroic, mythic

lusty grotto
#

you need 3 wyrms for 1 enchanted wyrm or 4 aspects for an enchanted aspect

#

which enchanters can make

trim pumice
#

Yeah at first i was pretty confused but after playing the past week it’s a lot simpler and a good system imo

lusty grotto
#

one of those is what you need for a recraft to up the ilvl

sick sentinel
#

geez okay, well, i upgraded some gloves cuz on s1 set the gloves are "bad stats"

lusty grotto
#

🤷 you do you

sick sentinel
#

this is what i got going on

trim pumice
#

not sure if anyone knows, but warr is my alt so prob just gonna do a 10ish on him this week, if vault gives a 431 it’s on hero track and should be upgradeable to 441, or is vault stuff non upgradeable? i assume you can upgrade but haven’t seen

lusty grotto
#

unsure

torn gulch
#

Everything is upgradeable

sick sentinel
#

i did a ring too, i stand by that new crafting with the crests is a bit duanting

granite pond
#

Pretty much everything is upgradable

torn gulch
#

Except pvp

lusty grotto
#

logic dictates it should be maxed from vault

#

but we havent seen s2 vault yet so

#

anything goes

granite pond
#

The only things that aren’t are when something drops fully maxed

trim pumice
#

Yeah i figured just wasn’t sure for vault, that’s nice for alts then

sick sentinel
#

i just don't feel like buying wow token for the boa stuff atm

#

eventually sure, just i don't feel like doin it

torn gulch
#

I mean 5/5 whelpling crafted is 408
5/5 wyrm crafted is 437
5/5 aspect crafted is 447
Last 2 require new spark
That s it

trim pumice
#

Also, do you guys open vault in prot or fury? Used to playing veng/bear/brew where you always open in dps spec since most tank trinkets are trash but getting 2h in vault sounds not fun but same goes for tank trinkets

rain walrus
#

If you need a shield open as prot. If you are fine with getting a 1h or 2h open as fury. If you only want 2h open as arms.

#

Hey guys, just dropped a shield from a dg. It goes up to 337 i belive. Crafting a new one still the way to go right?

heady jetty
#

Prio stats are still haste/vers correct?

sick sentinel
#

haste/ whatever

#

theres not really a hard rule on it, just haste + stats

stark sandal
#

I mean I got a weapon I upgraded to 441 so I will probably use my "free" 437 crest for killing Sark on a shield if I don't get one in my vault

sick sentinel
#

is it relatively expensive for wyrm and aspects to be enchanted?

granite pond
#

no

#

recipe is a few of each enchanting mat + some dracothyst

sick sentinel
#

that would be expensive as hell in 2004

granite pond
#

like maybe 10k now

sick sentinel
#

4 epics, 15 blues and a bunch of greens

#

depends how heavily flooded the market is with enchanters RN i guess

granite pond
#

which is basically just doing the dragonriding world quests on a few alts, each week

sick sentinel
#

cuz, i know that craft 100 green/blue bracers > de them was a method for getting mats

#

probably some easy to craft purple that can be DE'd or they just run a bunch of m0/WQ

granite pond
#

you can get the purple mat from DEing blues often enough when spec'd into it as well

#

plus this is season 2, people have been collecting mats for months

sick sentinel
#

i got a ton of profession points now, 325bs 263eng i did the math

tender quartz
#

Max crafted was 447 or 441?

sick sentinel
#

i keep hearing 447 for some reason, i think that 441 is mythic raid drops, but then again, i'm pepega

toxic pewter
#

you guys gonna open vault in arms spec on tuesday

trim pumice
#

447 is max crafted, 441 is max upgrade on dropped gear with crests

#

and mythic raid gear drops 441+ but can’t be upgraded

tender quartz
#

Yea I was sure its 447 crafted too

quick spruce
#

Hey guys, which bis list are we following?

quick spruce
trim pumice
#

Not really a bis list anymore but faq has some recommendations on slots @quick spruce

granite pond
#

I'd open in prot if you need a Forgestorm

#

But if you have one then probably amrs

#

or fury i guess if you want to try for dps trinkets and don't need a shield. still get 1 handers

quick spruce
#

Yeh I’m using crafted shield and crafted 1h for 447, really only need dps trinkets if we aren’t going for tank trinkets

Hey everyone
Is it worth to wear leech neck without haste over the regular neck with haste but no leech?

sick sentinel
#

im being super lazy about my tenders thing

#

first 2 months i got that stuff in like, 1 hour

daring marlin
#

could be worth depending on if it's crit/vers or if you had a boatload of haste on your other gear

earnest canyon
#

I mean im not trying to figure out whats more damage, thats a sim angle, sure
Im trying to figure out if its worth it even if its less damage to go with leech

lilac jay
sick sentinel
#

you should never drop ilvl for leech, or because it has haste and the other one doesn't, but necks and rings is tricky with that rule

#

cuz, u don't get str

dry spear
#

at sarkareth hc. i can spellblock the tank debuff and dot?

sick sentinel
#

the difference if its same ilvl and just slightly different stat sets and "worse" one has leech, you'd have to sim and its gunna be a less than ~1% dps i'm guessing

steel mauve
#

tertiary stats are fairly meaningless when it comes to choosing gear, you never decide a gear option on that, only secondary stats, ilvl, special procs or uses, that stuff, if it has a tert. stat, then nice, if it doesnt, wont matter

has the battering ram bug been fixed on live servers btw?

Hey, I hope this is the right place to ask: What am I supposed to do with the dragons in HoI after the frog boss? I have watched some videos and most tanks seem to just "ignore" it, but when I try to do that in a +15 with ilvl ~420, it almost kills me lol. When I try to dodge it (by running half a circle around it), it follows me but I don't get as much damage - is that the way to go? If there are melees in the group, would I kill them by doing so? Or do I have to use all my CDs on the three dragons there? I don't even want to imagine the damage they do next week 😄

sick sentinel
trim pumice

#

i know what tertiary means, we have never decided gear based on tert. stats, they mean so little that its pointless to min/max that little of a change that it literally wont matter

fresh igloo
#

looking at trying titanic throw again in M+, what do y'all think is the least impactful talent to drop on that side

shut wigeon
#

Alright, thanks... But dodging parts of the breath is impossible? I think I get less damage while running around the dragon but cant say for certain 😂

fresh igloo
#

it tracks on the tank

#

so moving around just makes it more likely to hit other people

#

there seems to be inconsistent advice on this tho. maybe it's different from M0 to M+, because at some point you could sidestep it?

winged sage
#

is it just me or is Kazzara taunt swap completely yolo on mythic?
My co tank gets debuff -> I taunt while boss in his spellqueue deluxe -> next tank smash goes on the co tank anyways.
It's like it's immune to taunt during anguish-spellqueueing

#

It feels increadibly off

royal eagle
#

is there never a situation i should use whirlwind? can i just take it off my bars ?

Ward is more an external for your group that can also be used on yourself iirc

The recommended embellishments in the pins are both single target right? Does that hold up for M+ too?

oh yeah i missed 2 TR casts

Oh and running defenders ageis and bolster

#

Even tho u dont have new 2pc

#

U dont run bolster till then

chrome falcon

yeah the bolster was defo wrong

U shouldnt be running aegis at all really

#

Only on trap boss i reckon

yeah aegis was mostly for HC sark because p1 was kinda scary on last tankbuster

forgot to swap

#

okokok cool ty for looking at the log

limpid anchor
#

atleast you got the fear

#

and gear makes a huge difference

definitly a big part between 100 and 70

sick sentinel

im still convinced that button is cursed

chrome falcon
#

yeah i mean

#

if i had forgestorm and new embellishments and 2pc

#

it's probably purple

#

but that's probably also true for all the other blue logs

#

so idk

limpid anchor
#

also look at our stats vs mine

you SS usage is very nice tho :>

get more gear and you are good

Is forgestorm bis for protection warrior too?

yes

#

they changed under rot a bit, i can tell

#

added 2 extra worms between boss 3 and 4, and final boss has some new mechanic

daring marlin
#

What new mechanic is on final boss?

#

Seems the exact same to me

sick sentinel
#

has a totally new graphic

#

if it works the same way

#

that or my gpu was really dog shit back then, i had a 1050ti back then.

#

it was rough

daring marlin
#

The conal animation is new but the mechanic was always there

oak ivy
#

Worth putting an embellish on shieldy?

#

Damnit Yogi I told you about the worms. Never listens. smh my helmet

And nothing actually has changed about last boss. Cragmaw is the only one that's changed and that's for consistency not any actual mechanic change.

#

Anyone tanked Sark? Wondering in phase 3 with the void slashes, there's conflicting data about what to do with them. One says just heal through it and taunt each one, another says getting hit twice fizzles it, another says 10 stacks...

mortal brook
#

void slash keeps stacking so you could notionally just keep it stacking to avoid it ever exploding (if you can live that). but you can also just get 10 stacks of standing in shit which sends you down to the shadow realm and you explode on no one

warm plinth
#

We were just swapping back and forth after each slash on normal. We were having a tank do one of the bombs, so when bombs came up, we'd wait for the next slash, swap, then non-tanking tank would go do bomb, drop bomb and void at the same time, then come back up and taunt

limpid anchor
#

But void slash you can just jump out for 2 sec and not hit anyone with the explosion no?

#

Or is it different on heroic

warm plinth
#

You can yeah, don't even really have to jump if you don't want to. You have like 8 seconds

limpid anchor
#

Uptime

warm plinth
#

I don't know if it changes on heroic though

#

I just mean if you didn't have it or something, you don't NEED it

limpid anchor
#

But ye. I don’t see why you should stack to 10

chrome falcon
#

on heroic you can just have one tank taunt for every buster

#

on heroic you cannot have that mechanic explode upstairs

#

it will kill the whole raid

limpid anchor
#

I see

chrome falcon
#

source: i did it like 4 times tonight

#

but the boss literally does the ability like 3 times the whole phase

#

and they're so staggered that you can have one tank do it each time if you want

raven zealot
#

how does the treemouth trinket work with ignore pain?

#

does ignore pain do 50% and then the trinket does 50% of the remaining 50%?

#

I'm pretty sure that other absorbs will take precedence over IP

#

So the entire trinket absorb would be consumed before IP was taken into consideration.

raven zealot
#

so other way around from what i said?

warm plinth
#

Correct

raven zealot
#

cool thanks

IP basically always goes last

oh yay were back to people leaving on first death in +14 😄

marsh stone
#

So on normal heal through, on heroic use the void. There was just this one comment on wowhead about making it "fizzle" which was confusing me

warm plinth
#

yeah I'm not sure what it's talking about there. I don't even think the void slash happens close enough together to take a second one before the debuff expires.

So, can i upgrade a veteran item into a champion item

chrome falcon
#

ok actually

#

i figured out why i only parsed blue on that kazzarra kill

#

the boss legit trolled me so fucking hard when i was trying to move her

#

she cast every mechanic consecutively without moving

warm plinth
oak ivy
#

does last boss Neltharus need tuning or are we doing something wrong

warm plinth
#

Depends what you're dying to I suppose

odd tree
#

Grab trinkets early

oak ivy
#

sometimes it's just the rot, sometimes swirlies, we are grabbing trinkets early and just exploding the moment we hit shield

#

between the curse and the rot we're getting ticked for like 200k every 3sec

chrome falcon
#

there is no rot

#

on that boss

#

you're just too slow on shield

#

we broke shield in 0.3 seconds today because everyone precast properly

#

also just bring a decurse if it's that bad

oak ivy
#

are all 5 people doing trinkets?

chrome falcon
#

yeah

warm plinth
#

All 5 should be doing trinkets. Otherwise the shield lasts too long and the pulsing damage fucks you

oak ivy
#

new question: did i imagine it or do the swirlies from that phase disappear when the shield breaks

#

like can we just all 5 precast nuke it and go back to business immediately or have to dodge?

warm plinth
#

The swirlies happen because the shield is up

#

I don't think there's any way to avoid them happening at least one barrage

oak ivy
#

F

#

okay

warm plinth
#

Even if you insta-break shield

#

But you can cast all the trinkets while moving now so dodging shouldn't be too hard

oak ivy
#

fair enough

#

okay thanks

sick sentinel
#

im not sure exactly whats going on there, but i think that the absorb applies at the same time or before most likely you take damage, cuz its being cut roughly in half like the tool tip,
so im wondering if activating the trinket, eats up that 100k worth of the 386k that it can do leaving me with 286k bubble

#

cuz if thats so, that make it really ass

warm plinth
#

I mean a 286k bubble is still like what, 40-45% hp? That's still a huge shield

sick sentinel
#

true i guess i just feel like im paying a stupid tax for eqiupping it

#

cuz it self nerfs it self (potentially)

torn gulch
#

that is why you use talisman

warm plinth
#

Also wdym by 100k worth? It's only absorbing 50k damage

torn gulch
#

if you play defensive trinkets

#

yea it's only absorbing 50k

#

not 100

sick sentinel
torn gulch
#

that is before any mitigation

warm plinth
#

Also are you sure it isn't Ignore Pain eating the 50k?

torn gulch
#

i don't think you're getting hit full value that never happened to me

cyan ridge
#

I used the trinket in valdrakken and saw a similar effect, 50k damage, 50k avsorbed

warm plinth
#

Yes but the point is that it only absorbs 50%, not the whole hit. So if it does 107,534, then it's' only consuming half that in absorb.

cyan ridge
#

Doubt i had ignore pain up

warm plinth
#

So you're only "wasting" 50k, not 100k

#

So you still have 335k worth of shield

#

Which is ~50% HP

sick sentinel
#

removed all buffs for that one

#

this is with SW and reflect, so it gets hard damage reduced by our abilities.

cyan ridge
#

Think blizz is going to change how it interacts, personally that doesnt seem how they want the trinket to work

#

Actually yogi, another test i wanna see you try

#

Does avatar amp the damage?

sick sentinel
#

apparently no, but i expected that

granite pond
#

I feel like I;m missing on Zskarn heroic. The tank swap Searing Claws lasts 20 seconds but guides says to tank swap at 5-7 stacks

#

But it definitely doesn't fall off before that

sick sentinel
#

18k and 38k was with defensive stance up i wanted to test that as well

cyan ridge
#

@granite pond i believe dodging and parries prevent applications as it is applied by his melee swings, thats prolly where the variance is coming from

sick sentinel
#

we had 6 deaths in that 8 UR some how,

#

2 or 3 to worms, other normal deaths rest of them, warlock died to charge on boss 2, ppl died over time on final, normal stuff

granite pond
#

maybe but even then it stacks up pretty high before you can re-taunt

hardy snow
#

with such mechanics, where you get stacks during tanking, just make first swap at X stacks, then swap everytime one tank drops his stacks

#

unless there is some specific strat where you are busy and another tank have to take one more shot

left basalt
#

big drops tonight 🙂

shrewd cedar
#

Is last stand considered a mitigation like does the bonus health debuff certain damage elements on sarkareth

warm plinth
#

It's not a mitigation. It might help you survive something you otherwise wouldn't, but you're still taking the full damage from it.

shrewd cedar
#

Ahh ok that’s what I assumed but also hoped it had some funky interactions on the bonus health thank you

frozen rose
#

Y’all use violent outburst on thunder clap for aoe scenario? If so, what amount of targets u think justifies that?

warm plinth
#

I believe it's 5+ targets during Avatar and 6+ outside of Avatar. But if you're holding globals for it hoping for SS proc, you just send on TC on any target count

Hey, what do you guys think are the best embellishments for m+ ?(and on what items should they be put)

warm plinth
#

patch and patch

#

Any piece that isn't tier really

glacial ridge
#

Frostfire Belt still worth having if you dont have rings, or switch to Primal Molten belt with patch when you get it/flavor pocket/something else?

warm plinth
#

Frostfire is fine to keep if you want to but it's about 200 DPS behind patch

glacial ridge
#

yeh its my lowest ilvl atm, and i havent used my spark yet, so weighing up what to do.

warm plinth
#

Patch would open up stat options too since frostfire is locked to its stats

uneven mason

Anyone else know if the frost protodrake breath in HoI is supposed to track the tank?

Or if it just hits that hard and is unavoidable

I do up to 2

The only problem is bad rng

Bad rng can poof them

warm plinth

Especially since the curse doesn't stack now

#

Oh?

nova rover
#

Yes... and bad dps

warm plinth
#

What's the RNG?

crude notch
#

If you pick up multiple of the same weapon it just borks it

#

Like if you have a wand and you get another pile that's wand, it'll just remove the pile.

warm plinth
#

Oh, right

zenith briar
#

But you keep the one you had already?

crude notch
#

And the tooltip doesn't say what the weapon is

crude notch
warm plinth
#

So 2 would be safer right? Since that still leaves 2 for the others in case of bad RNG?

crude notch
#

yea

warm plinth
#

Or well, 2 and then 3 if you didn't get shit RNG on the 2nd

crude notch
#

Yeah I wouldn't click more than 3 piles

#

Either way.

#

However, if one of your dps gets charge prayge that they're a paladin

In my experience the dps who gets charge is a coward 😄

Am I the only one that experienced the neltharus boss with the chains, ur supposed to kite boss thru em….it doesn’t seem to break his enrage. Even when doing it twice

hazy bronze
#

Have to break all chains

frozen rose
#

Oh so if one dps messes it up and doesn’t line, it screw it I guess

warm plinth
#

It's still possible to drag him through a chain that's small; just harder. But ideally yes, the DPS move away from the spear so it's easier.

#

Also have to be careful (at least I assume you do on higher keys) about breaking them too quickly because it puts a stacking dot on the group each time a chain breaks.

Is it normal for ignore pain to fall off ?

thought its easy to always have ignore pain up

like in sl s4

#

maybe im using to much revenge idk

warm plinth
#

It's normal to not have IP 100% uptime

#

It's just used as a rage dump when Revenge isn't enough to prevent overcapping by itself.

#

The only time you prioritize it is if you need it for an upcoming hit

ok it just felt strange cuz the last time i played warrior was in sl

I must ask. What does a devoker lose by taking the AoE soothe?

warm plinth
#

Uh, 4% magic damage reduction? lol

crude notch
#

Ghash

#

Did you hear my idea?

#

We should be able to get like the next level down of crests from keys once we hit our weekly cap.

So like if I'm capped on Aspect Crests for the week but not Wyrm Crests, I think it'd be pretty awesome to get Wyrm's from 16+.

#

Obviously this won't matter once you're stacked on hero gear.

#

But like when the catalyst comes out they should make crets BoA too.

warm plinth
#

Yeah that was one of my suggestions (or well, it's close to what I suggested)

#

My suggestion was that you could get both Aspect and Wyrm from 16+

#

Wish they'd fix the weird item trading bugs

crude notch
#

I'm currently farming 9s and 10s because 1) It gives champions gear and 2) I'm capped on Wyrms but need Drakes.

I like that I can multi spec very easily now with the free crest discounts

craggy pilot

ah ok, so i need HC tier in vault to up to 441

warm plinth
#

I think normal goes to 437?

craggy pilot
#

like im just thinking, if i get a 430~ tier through M+ vault, vs a HC tier, both can be upgraded to 441 anyway 🤔

#

so in that case i need +18 or higher for M+ vault to surpass HC vault

warm plinth
#

Well so let's say you get a shit trinket at idk, 431 right

#

Well, I guess trinket is a bad example since you have to get 2

#

Let's say like...m/v gloves at 431

craggy pilot
#

yea and the raid trinkets are probably pretty good anyway

warm plinth
#

If you get c/h gloves at like 418, you don't need to pay crests to get them 431, just flightstones

craggy pilot
#

im just trying to figure what i should "grind" first, since i have 2 days and my vault is currently 6 / 12 / 12 / 13 for my 4 toons

#

with 1 of them having full Normal Raid vault

warm plinth
#

Well, 14 would be the next breakpoint for vault gear

#

12 and 13 are the same

#

So probably just get the 6 to 12 at minimum

#

And then try for some 14s

craggy pilot
#

i did 12++

#

they seem fairly doable

#

its just horrible having to push all my keys from +2 :<

#

no one signs on <10

#

but is it worth spending my time on clearing Normal for Tier chances 🤔

warm plinth
#

I haven't had trouble getting people into mine so far

#

Are you EU?

craggy pilot
#

yes

#

i had a +4 up the other day

warm plinth
#

Huh, I would've thought it'd be easier for you guys since you have more players

craggy pilot
#

literally no one signed for an hour

#

then people 370 ilvl started signing 😄

warm plinth
#

oof

craggy pilot
#

i filled grp with 370 ilvl, and we depleted because heal and tank were fkd

#

depleted my +4 to +3 🙂

warm plinth
#

With drake/wyrm crests

craggy pilot
#

if i only clear Normal with no HC, wont i just get Tier so slow anyway, that i will end up with 2-3 pieces when cc comes out 🤔

#

but then again, if i wanna min/max trying to get tier from M+, i need to do 8 dungeons every week 🤣

so you can wear 2x Embellish

Neltharus isn’t pug friendly in low keys

sick sentinel
#

I can do 2 more any keys and get a second relatively pepegas item

craggy pilot
#

idk if people are just not getting items

#

because we would have 10sec shield up

#

5 items should be enough every time right?

limpid anchor
#

Need 4

craggy pilot
#

oh 4 is enough lol

slender hamlet
#

i think 4 will do it, you can also just grab 2 urself

limpid anchor
#

So healer doesn’t do it normally

craggy pilot
#

can i carry 2 at the same time?

limpid anchor
#

Yes, if it’s different items

craggy pilot
#

oh

#

so i just gotta take 2 gold piles and hope its different

Under rot is free if you have players with hands on controls, monitors / pcs turned on and brain turned on

craggy pilot
#

oh well nice waste of 1 hour

sick sentinel
#

Not as free as freehold I bet

#

But it's free

craggy pilot
#

freehold does have free in the name so 🤷‍♂️

limpid anchor
#

Freehold isn’t that free I think

#

With pugs

sick sentinel
#

I've had horrible and great luck pugging mondays

#

You really see the full spectrum of players pugging a 10 -15 Mondays

#

i think im gonna do some Neltharus to try to get a Forgestorm

#

I didn't get spore pods i didn't get nothing from under rot

warm plinth
#

why would you want sporepods

sick sentinel
#

Why not for now

#

I don't even know all the trinkets that exist this season and are good

#

I couldn't care less ATM to check really

#

I m just gonna throw my self out there, see what I can do!

hazy hazel
#

We're pretty beefy and can probably rely on damage trinkets still. I run Mark of Dargrul (7% avg of my overall dmg) and Grapnel from Zaq Assault.

#

Beacon will be the go to for most as scalecommander gets more available on different difficulties.

sick sentinel
#

Tree mouth/spore pods is a total yogi bait trinket though, let's be real

hazy hazel
#

I'll keep one fully upgraded for some random niche environment, or maybe fortified weeks of extremely high keys

sick sentinel
#

Still some primitive part of my brain tells me I'm a tank, so I need tank related stuff,

#

I don't usually think about offensive tribkets till i get them

Well unfortunately they went with dot stacking on half the bosses of raid. Definitely gave Paladin the crown and throne for season.

Sporepods trash no matter what expansion it gets rereleased in

#

I just did an 11 with a BM hunter who did 17.8k DPS keks

#

Nice

#

hunters

#

I'd be curious to see the impact of the upgrade system and average io score.

sick sentinel
#

I still wonder how hunter does less dpsthan tank

#

It has 3 specs devoted to killing shit

warm plinth
#

How do you know o_O

hard vine
#

peeps tell me something for us as prots is it worth simming on raidbots tog gear?

warm plinth
#

For damage, yes

hard vine
#

and for as u say tankiness?

crude notch
#

You don't sim tankiness no

warm plinth
#

No one can sim for tankiness. 90% of survival is gameplay, 7% is talents, 3% is gear

hard vine
#

okapa thanks everyone

warm plinth
#

Just go for ilevel>haste>crit=vers>mastery in general.

It's fun as long as you have people who don't bitch about clearing the 2nd boss room and doing the door skip

#

Sorry 3rd boss room

craggy pilot
#

i did it 2hours ago

#

we were good entire dung

#

then wiped 10 times on last boss

#

and people left

tired girder
#

I saw some raid guides but none specific for tanks.
First time tanking. There is any place to check what we need to do? When to taunt etc?
What you guys use?

urban bane
#

and you're pretty much 90% there

#

Thank you "George" 🤣

Is there a trick I'm missing to Naraxus when you get spiked tongue? Half the time when I pick a puddle to save myself it despawns but how do you know which ones are the most recent?

strong forum
#

doubt it

potent gulch
#

thats sad

strong forum
#

in which order

potent gulch
#

20 nt haven't seen a single one ;[

#

i would just make sure for 1 guy to always get close to boss

#

and kill it there

#

so you dont lose uptime

final mist
#

There's also the much easier way to deal with that by avoiding puddles altogether and standing behind one of the piles of eggs

#

And just taunting and walking in as the cast ends so you don't get eaten

stone pike
#

I think I'm gonna need to go queue some way low keys and practice the boss tbh. It's the only part fucking me up now.

past ginkgo
#

That's what I have been doing. Heroic leaping out to eggs right before the cast goes off then you can sit there for most of it as well as get a clear picture of where the piles are so you can run against it and end up in one of the slow pools.

any specific strat to the Elephant boss in Nelt?
