Hey folks
would you upgrade this, or craft an 437 sword by craftingorder with haste vers?

neither, i would farm forgestorm

any tips on playing the jagged disc mobs in neltharions lair? my group is just always getting fucked by that - i keep trying to pull them into LoS but it doesnt work most times

the bosses sitll rotate though right?

They do not

#

It's always Eudora and Raoul

They changed it because the weeks were too uneven with the rotation.

It doesn't need to be buffed. It's exactly what it should be. A minor nuisance with counterplay

i barely noticed it let alone saw it

if i didnt have a timer for it, i wouldnt even realize it was a thing

yeah until you lose track of it in the middle of a pull and get stunned

you'll notice it when it procs as you're running away from some one shot mechanic

oh man

#

i made that neltharions lair run way more cringe than it had to be, i got 407 rogue then 416 and 418 paladin and dk i think, and then i took first healear i saw 400 sham

#

i wasn't 100% certian, so pulled bearishly, undercount it hink was what the ealer was sayin

#

and i've still got many many questions about how stuff in that dungeon works, i don't get the pillar on final boss for instance and worm bosses are always confusing to me

#

I expect the same or similiar results for dungeons i'm still not positive on how they work.

#

last boss you gotta turn him so that on the boss' left is the pillar

so that the add spawns on the pillar

#

for weapons unforutanetly it works that you need to cover both slots

#

same for rings/trinkets

#

then you use only flightstones which drops everywhere so its basically free upgrade

#

so you dont need to hesitate and think "should I upgrade it or wait for better stat item to drop"

is forgestorm really that good without primary stat?

Hey, i often play with a good DH and he keeps taking aggro back from me, I think it's a prob on my personal rotation when starting packs so do you have generals tips for me to get aggro instant ?

tawny briar
#

I don't know about others, but I try to have a burst AOE CD for the start of big packs if I have a very bursty DPS that is ripping threat at the start of keys (Dragonroar, shield charge, whetstone trink, etc) Once you get initiall threat it usually is a non-issue

pale hill
#

Anyone run Neltharus and feel there are certain pulls where you get rage starved?
What do you do then? Things in that dungeon hit like a mofo truck

tawny briar
#

I ran it a couple times this week and didn't notice any rage issues. Which particular packs? the only ones I felt hit particularly hard were the flame slash guys, which do wreck you pretty good

pale hill
#

I feel it a lot on the last three pulls with the big birds. The adds are casting and eat through my defensive so fast my IP goes up and down like a yoyo.
The other time are with the little fire elementals casting melt the entire time and the big pull across from the shortcut door.

tawny briar
#

ya, i think there is a single flame slash mob in each of those packs, at least the two bird ones, so makes sense you'd be getting wrecked. I don't know, I try to have a major defensive for the flameslashes at this point. the push back can HELP you get rage if it pushes you out into charge range. might try that if you are feeling real rage starved on the pull. just make sure you don't end up with back facing the other mobs

#

what key level? that might make a difference too. My experience is only on +16

daring marlin
#

I got an Irideus Fragment. Couldn't trade it. Poor DK!

#

You can backstep that

#

Or play spell block

tawny briar
#

backstep works? how far back you gotta be. that's massive if so. I'll try it in my next one, cause that spell HURTS

daring marlin
#

If you backstep they just cast it again

tawny briar
#

ya, i've noticed that with the custodian bleed in Uldaman too

limpid anchor
#

That’s why spell block, higher uptime

tawny briar
#

you can just kind keep going in a circle and they keep trying but never hit you, you just don't get to hit the mob much

limpid anchor
#

The bleed on the other hand

#

I just run away

#

Well, stutter step away

tawny briar
#

Ya, I've started doing the same thing

#

it's annoying that they recast, I think they also recast if you stun it

#

yes but you also said they should buff dungeon trinkets, which considering that trinket is bis for a few specs, I doubt that'd be one of them.

Amd I'm not spending wyrm crests to upgrade this pos fragment

Just get Dargrul and Raid Horn

#

your only better options then are bacon and anvil

daring marlin

hey pal I've always played the plate classes

oh thanks

sullen gust
#

I dont know I'd anyone here would have an answer but I asked in the WA chat and it seems pretty quiet in there. When I want to use spell reflection, and activate my cast, is it possible to say something in chat to the effect of "Don't Kick, I'm Reflecting"? I find half the time I use it, the mob gets kicked and then next cast I may not have an interrupt or reflect available again. Extra points if there is a way to specify which ability I am reflecting but not essential.

urban bane
#

There's a WA for SR announcing yeah

#

But I will say

#

DPS dont tend to give two squirts of piss whether there's a message or not xD

#

they still zug zug kick

Most people can’t read anyway

urban bane
#

it is a bit cursed, but i made a weakaura for my m+ friends. it makes a bell sound when i spell reflect and, if someone kicks while the buff is active, a buzzer sound goes off and they /say something to the effect of "uwu i kick while spell reflect was up im sowwy senpai ;_;" They just gotta install it for it to work lul

im away from my computer atm but i can send it if you want 😅

okay a bit cursed is an understatement

It’ll get easier as time goes on

i'm still getting geared up better for higher keys too. i'm at ilvl 413 right now and +12/+13 seems to be the limit of what I can handle somewhat comfortably

Perfectly fine

As ilvl grows so will skill and knowledge of the dungeons

#

So it’ll all get easier

sage ice
#

managed to tank a full heroic pug AOTC vault at end of S1 about ~3 weeks into tanking, and my guild did a full normal clear last week, so I'm feeling pretty solid about being able to handle raid mechanics

#

the trash pulls in pugs this week feel much harder than any of that haha

Oh yeah raiding tanking is piss easy

guild runs when we can coordinate interrupt rotations it's so much easier but pugs are...whew

strong forum
#

feeling stupid squishy can have a multitude of reasons

#

including not knowing when youre supposed to take dmg

#

if you know why youre taking dmg

#

you cant feel squishy

#

cuz its then related to what youre fighting, and not what youre doing/how strong your class is

#

ive not felt squishy once even when fighting a 5x bolstered mega mob who slapped me for 300k melees

#

cuz its a bolstered mob which just meleed fast

#

thats then a moment of "ah good to know this pull/mob can be dangerous on high keys"

#

i now know, that the assassin sphinx guys melee real hard and quick okayge

daring marlin
#

yeah lol

I mean so for example, the first handful of mobs in nelth, I was just getting trucked by the tank hit blazing slash after it got bolstered. Slapped for 400k and ded.

Explain to me

Your thought process

austere agate
strong forum
#

Why is 5% dmg and 5% leech worse than shockwave cdr on 3 targets

#

Explain

austere agate
#

Because of insane crowd control in M+? Interrupting millions of deadly casts almost 50% more often

strong forum
#

And also hard DRing every other stun in the game

#

To give up 5% dmg and leech

austere agate
#

Its not like my pugs are stun gods, and some classes straight up don't have them. I feel I help my ground so much and save lives with shorter shockwave CD

If you're wiping to 2 pelters cuz you didn't shockwave them twice

Then you got diff issues

daring marlin
#

Doing 5% more damage(massive gain btw) is significantly more beneficial than having one of the worst AoE stuns back up sooner.

strong forum

Never minding the fact that you can barely hit 3 mobs when there's 2 pelters cuz they jump away unless you properly bait them

i have to say im a bit bitter about our 4 set now that i see how much I am missing spell block. fucking around with your talent build to get it and losing impenetrable wall or whatever just feels lame. combined by the fact that you press LS on cd pretty much for a dps gain also feels bad

#

we have to chose between 2 of the best mitigation spells and use another for DPS

#

reminiscing end of shadowlands now again

#

kinda lame

dusky canopy

You only really need spell block in neltharius

why do i have to make that choice now when i didnt have to before. thats my point

Because it synergizes with tier

You need bolster to get the most value out tier
