I got heroic beacon last week and it’s sooooo good

ruby musk

Just enjoying the guild rant because prot warrior with beacon and HoT and a 4 piece beating most of them in DPS

#

He buys gold and has shit handed to him for free all the time, he doesnt get to say shit like this lmao

ruby musk
#

I like to think of myself as being absolutely strapped with claymore mines whenever I get hit

Since I’m like 15th in line for one to be loot counciled to me lol

Man I hate classic andies

Lol

daring marlin
#

I have so many fond memories of old expacs

#

I genuinely thought I'd play wrath classic

#

it came and I was like "meh been there done that"

#

5 app limit is dumb af btw

toxic pewter
#

just won heroic 2h off nelth

#

all the ret pallys are losing it LOL

#

im just here laughing

daring marlin
#

How does needing when you're prot even work?

#

ignores role I assume?

toxic pewter
#

select loot spec per boss

#

i loot mostly in arms, because I also play arms too

daring marlin
#

ah, makes sense

toxic pewter
#

they so mad

daring marlin
#

was curious if that was the case--only recently started doing raid

toxic pewter
#

and i won tier shoulders LOL

#

rolled both 99

daring marlin
#

fuck 'em

#

sucks to suck

toxic pewter
#

the silence is deafening in the discord

is there a good guide for trinkets anywhere?

#

or is it just like, you need to get these two

toxic pewter

can check pins for some recommended ones

very helpful actually, thank you

too many trashadins clogging every group up!

Wow this week is toxic in keys

daring marlin
#

do tell

dusky canopy
#

Oh yeah I knew it would be

Nobody wants to deal with the incorporeal

#

They want to blast

cinder nova
#

Incorp is easy if you have people that can hard CC it in a way that wont break

#

But holy fuck watching people just panic on high tyran

#

My melee DPS legit just running around totally lost and passing in front of the breath on last boss ULD

#

Like

#

Bro why the fuck are you doing that I can see so much free space that isn't near me giving me a heart attack

#

And then spiteful

#

People always seem to forget how spiteful works

#

Just watching our rogue try and tonguefuck one of them in the throat

daring marlin
#

I'm glad they don't scale past 20 now

#

gr8 change

#

watching melee get melee'd from 90-0 in a 24 last season was pretty tragic

fast knot
#

So outside of the mob spawning on spiteful you run by with a decent hard CC this seems pretty easy

toxic pewter
#

how is incorp so far, havent done a key yet

daring marlin
#

I should've played Warlock this season

#

lmao

#

uh

#

Firelands TW gear can be upgraded to 437

sick sentinel
#

im bit annoyed i have to run 5 heroics, 5 tw and 4 mythics

hollow bolt
#

The 4 mythic quest is out?

nocturne spindle
#

no its the teimwalking dungeon quest

#

just that with ilvl being close from normal upgrades getting a good trinket is good if you odnt have one yet

final mist
#

Good luck getting it

sick sentinel
#

well, 4 mythics for 2 options in vbualt

I got this trinket, is it worth it?

daring marlin

I say it, because my other trinket are 411, I have done +40 M+ and I have not taken a single trinket.

okay, thanks

left basalt

but m+ trinkets arent too hot anyways

#

the vortex pinnacle one is great for damage

light apex
#

ok, I'll try to farm that dung all this week and see if I have any luck.

urban portal
#

i wouldnt go hard for m+ trinkets

#

also how can anyone say sporepods is bad when its actually recommended

light apex
#

well some bad luck with the raid items, all repeated.

urban portal
#

not highly recommended but its a viable option on wowhead

daring marlin
#

Is there a WA to hide groups you've been declined from? lmao

crude notch
#

Can you get tier from the weekly, I can't remember?

urban portal
#

i dont think so?

#

i remember a lot of those things say "non tier"

#

from last patch or maybe SL

urban portal
#

i would just relax and play, if you get it you get it, dont go too hard

crude notch
#

what if i like going hard

light apex
#

okay, ty okayge

urban portal
#

then see a doctor

#

if you go hard for more than 4 hours

#

[Mark of Dargrul] (offensive trinket) and [Talisman of the Cragshaper] (defensive Trinket) from Neltharions Lair - trinkets SLAP IMO

urban portal
#

mark of darghul is like the only thing thats good

#

and it can miss

#

horn sims well but requires a lot of effort to use

#

talisman of cragshaper is just another absorb

left basalt
#

Liking that over the spell block loss

urban portal
#

talisman also doesnt give strength

#

tank trinkets in general hasnt been great for SL and DF

left basalt
#

I swapped whetstone/bigtoe for talisman/mark/thunder

errant leaf
#

Scale was good in sl tho

urban portal
#

yeah

errant leaf
#

Goated*

urban portal
#

scale was the best

#

in m+

#

but then it got nerfed

#

so yeah

errant leaf
#

Yeah true

urban portal
#

not nearly as good as RDM/aegis

errant leaf
#

And others were complete garbo

urban portal
#

aegis singlehandedly enables MDI pulls

#

rdm gave so much damage and defense for a main stat trinket

daring marlin
#

TW Antorus pls

#

I want

urban portal
#

well that frost damage is gonna be split

#

like everything else in this game

#

and armor isnt a real stat

daring marlin
#

bruh

#

If that thing comes back half as strong it'll be busted

#

idgaf

urban portal
#

you can cope all you want

#

but every aoe trinket ever has became split

#

ever since shadowlands

#

even timewalking ones

pallid quiver
#

the real cope would be to say it's pre-bfa, therefore doesn't suffer bfa split

daring marlin
#

damn split AoE trinkets they're so garbage

#

like H sark one

urban portal
#

the only non split aoe trinket we've had in the past 4 years is boon

errant leaf
#

Whetstone was split ? Never used it so

urban portal
#

it is

#

just doesnt say in tooltip

errant leaf
#

Kk

urban portal
#

blizzard is lying to you

#

it just does so much damage that it doesnt really matter

errant leaf
urban portal
#

same with mark of darghul

unreal arrow
#

will I get prio on the sark trinket if i roll on it with prot spec? or will all the dps get prio first?

daring marlin
#

It's on both of your loot tables so neither get priority

unreal arrow

def dont let a shadow priest win it like waht happened to mine

How many things could I put into an opener macro?

I would love it if I could get one button to Avatar, Last Stand, Demo Shout, use trinket... I don't think any of them trigger the gcd but I have to get multiple key presses in to make it happen

I thought the rule was that if it doesn't trigger the gcd you can do this

unreal arrow
#

demo shout triggers gcd i believe

weary python
#

I picked up anvil out of the vault, but haven't been able to give it a go as I'm at work. Is there a way I should be using it, or optimal usage?

urban portal
#

can probably just macro it to the ability it procs off of

oblique kayak
#

i got it macroed to ss

hexed pumice
#

question guys

#

is it worth to complete the 4pc set

#

with a pc from LFR?

#

or should i use 2/2

#

until i get a piece from normal+

urban portal
#

i would complete it

#

sims will tell you though

proper roost
#

i mean i think the much more egregious on gcd ability for prot is Demo shout

#

I can barely think of any short cd tank drs that are on gcd like that

#

Maybe eye of tyr but ardent defender is the closer analogue

daring marlin
#

nope

wheat nexus
#

Ok so did blizzard just said "fuck prot warriors" and gave every other tank a way to deal with the new affix?

daring marlin
#

Eye is much more like demo than AD

proper roost
#

I disagree

#

Thanks

crude notch

You can disagree all you want bish

that don't make you right

That's fine. You're entitled to being objectively incorrect.

ugh iu dont know what to do

Demo Shout ain't no cheat death

tropic gorge
#

tier chest. which would give 3pc. cloak, which i havent seen so far in this season. or shield.

crude notch
#

well your shield should be a crafted one unless you've got access to the 450

tropic gorge
#

i dont have access to that lmao.

ruby musk
#

Why would you pick shield instead of crafting a shield with the shadow embellishment?

tropic gorge
#

very poor. my crafted shield needs considerable upgrades. i'm thinking of ignoring it outright since loot has been good to me

#

ima grab the tier item. ive been very unlucky getting tier items without the catalyst

#

but wait. the catalyst opens next week doesnt it?

#

or is it in 2 weeks (tm)

proper roost
#

3 iirc

#

this is week 3 since patch week

hmm. i'll regret either decision, so tier is prob the good idea

is Shadowflame Wreath preferred over Sophic now? Saw that on the wowhead guide earlier today but I swear it was Sophic like a week ago

today I learned

hollow bolt
#

Holy shit

unique ore
#

I could use some constructive criticism on gaining and holding aggro on packs of more than 3. I am ilvl 415. last night i ran a +12 brackenhide and i had a miserable time gaining aggro and holding aggro on packs of more than 3. it hasn't only just been brackenhide. i have noticed it in other dungeons, too. i'm rolling charge>shockwave>thunderclap and charge>thunder clap>Revenge> when Shockwave is on CD. i don't typically have issues with 3 or less mobs. How can I be better here?

#

(obviously filling in with defenses, too)

fresh igloo
#

i usually find that once I have threat it's easy to maintain, it's just the early/beginning of the pull that things can go awry. shockwave is really better to use as an AoE stop than a threat/DPS tool.

#

titanic throw if you talent for it, charge in and thunderclap, revenge. make sure you're in battle stance

#

make sure nothing is behind you so revenge cleaves to them

#

make sure you're rotating targets for shield slams

unique ore
#

damn i am never in battle stance

wary jungle

dusky canopy

#

@dusky canopy no, sadly my guildies are actually a few ilvls below me 😦

fresh igloo
#

you shouldn't be in defensive stance unless you need the extra DR

wary jungle
#

Yeah battle stance unless its a +18-20 undergeared.

fresh igloo
#

check the pins for talents and such

#

more damage output = more threat

#

don't skimp on your shield slams either

tropic gorge
#

new warrior abc:
Always. be. CHARGING

dusky canopy
#

If you drop ravager before you charge and then open with demo>roar>shield charge etc you definitely should have threat

fresh igloo
#

just make sure you're rotating targets for your ST abilities

#

yeah, ravager and roar are great for it as well, just not up as often as the other stuff i mentioned

unique ore
fresh igloo
#

you should be sending those cooldowns, not saving them. if you have 'em at the start of a pull, great.

unique ore
tropic gorge
#

only if i avoid mechanics

#

#

ah okay

Single target

fresh igloo
#

single target

unique ore
#

ty ❤️

#

i definitely don't rotate targets enough

fresh igloo
#

once you've established a solid base of threat, your cleave from revenge and thunderclap should maintain fine and you can focus shield slam resets in to the priority target

unique ore
#

is it "normal" to tab between targets or do you all typically click the targets with mouse? i'm not a click cause i cant ever see shit when shit is going down xD

fresh igloo
#

but to establish control at the start of the pull if your big CDs are already spent, you need to put some damage in to each target purposefully.

#

mix of tab/click targeting depending on the situation for me.

#

also don't forget about AoE taunt. if you react quickly to threat stripping you can prevent it from mattering.

unique ore
#

any tank addons recommended? should i consider looking for an addon that shows me threat in a more engaging way?

nocturne spindle
#

you can leap away from the breath

i'm getting to point in keys where i'm getting exposed for being bad. Ty to all who have chimed in to help a nub out 🙂 I'm sure i'll be back here again 😄

fresh igloo
#

or whatever indicator works for you

unique ore
#

well my brain big dumb so something like green yellow red would work for me

#

i messed with nameplater a few days ago but i ultimately removed it because i couldnt see with the name plates. they were big and made it very distracting. im not very well versed in addons...

grave socket
#

A good idea in M+ is to use a AoE build. Keep a CD for each mob.
Ravager one mob on pull to grab threat.
Shield Charge next mob for threat.
AoE taunt next mob. Etc.
Don't blow it all on one pack then head into next pack with nothing and wonder why the Evoker got globalled.

fresh igloo
#

plater is what i use as well. but you need to find something that works for you and you won't ignore.

dusky canopy
#

Grab the quazzi or dorki profile from Wago

fresh igloo
#

use the talent builds in the pins here.

nocturne spindle
#

also once you get used to it, seeing what enemies are doing on their name plate is way more info than watching the enemies

grave socket
#

Plater + Dorki profile.

nocturne spindle

I just noticed you don’t like big so you may actually prefer quazzi’s profile

#

how do you handle the 2 Adept + 1 Caliph pack in Vortex Pinnacle? 🤔

fresh igloo
#

burn one, CC the other if possible

#

stuns or longer CC if needed

#

have to send it quick and pull the rest away if go that route tho.

craggy pilot
#

oh theyre all stunnable?

fresh igloo
#

the temple adepts are

craggy pilot
#

route?

#

can you skip them?

fresh igloo
#

"that route" meaning using hard CC

craggy pilot
#

ah ok, so focus the kicks on the Caliph, and stuns on Adept

fresh igloo
#

i would focus kicks on the adept you're trying to focus down.

#

tho on tyr week that may be less of a concern

craggy pilot
#

what about the 8 Squall pack, would you not pull those all 4 at the same time?

fresh igloo
#

the spam casting of heals is definitely annoying

craggy pilot
#

we got hard killed by those 8 on a +15

fresh igloo
#

not sure which pack you mean

craggy pilot
#

right on the start of 2nd platform

fresh igloo
#

oh the ones that cast cloudburst?

craggy pilot
#

yes

fresh igloo
#

more stuns and interrupts?

craggy pilot
#

oh its the casts that kills not the shield probably

fresh igloo
#

anything you miss the healer has to cover

craggy pilot
#

but the shield also does AOE dmg while it holds?

dusky canopy
#

Oh just pull them separate from each other

#

Go right with assassins

#

Then go left with assassins

craggy pilot
#

oh but the assassins also need kick

fresh igloo
#

pull what your group can handle

#

if it's one pack, it's one pack

pull dn

the route i found was like this

don't just blindly follow a route

I’ve got the perfect emoji for dn but we’re restricted here

im not super familiar with VP

#

underrot, yes

#

i know every thing that every mob can cast in there and how to counter it

#

vp, no fuckin way

fresh igloo
#

that's fine. if you're not sure, it's practically always a good idea to use shockwave on a cluster of casters all casting at once.

#

using it rotationally is generally not the way

sick sentinel
#

also, yeah, thats the type of music i listen to

see like, im 80% the way there that i can time any under rot key with say, SBG

can anyone answer my question? was is ideal set up for our tier set? do i drop the pants or the chest?

#

seems like wowhead says drop chest or does it not matter as long as we round out stats

toxic pewter
#

hmmm

warm plinth
#

I don't even remember what stats are where. Wowhead isn't up to date on that (idk about the guide, but the actual items have the old stats still last time I checked a few days ago)

toxic pewter
#

ngl i like the pants they have a lot of crit on them, but no haste

#

its sort of personal preference, i am not using shoulders at the moment

mighty valley
toxic pewter
#

well, I legitimately do play arms warrior

mighty valley
#

doesn't matter, you could throw that sword in the garbage and it would still be a better place for it

toxic pewter
#

lol

#

but but but

#

it mah ashkandy 😮

#

but do you not switch loot specs for different bosses?

#

I thought everyone switches loot specs

warm plinth
#

I do

toxic pewter
#

pretty common

warm plinth
#

Based on what I need from it

mighty valley
#

i raid exclusively with friends so it would feel inappropriate to take offspec gear in our raids

toxic pewter
#

yeah thats fair and I completely agree

mighty valley
#

if i'm gonna wear a dps trinket as prot i'll switch loot spec for that

toxic pewter
#

yah

mighty valley
#

but i'm not gonna upset people (and hurt our prog) by taking 2h weapons in guild raids

warm plinth
#

Oh, for sure

#

But you can roll dps spec and just pass on the weapon

toxic pewter
#

in pug though, if I already have everything from a boss as prot, and it drops a 2h... and I am known to play arms... it would make no sense to not loot as arms

remote marsh
#

no rules in pugs tbh

mighty valley
#

yeah, I mean, I switch loot specs to maximize my tank gear

#

which sometimes means dps specs

toxic pewter
#

found it in raid finder

mighty valley
#

i just don't roll on stuff that's exclusively offspec

toxic pewter
#

do you play arms or fury

mighty valley
#

when i'm dpsing? fury

toxic pewter
#

right, so say you were in a pug, and it doesnt drop any tank gear, but does drop a sweet 2h sword. would you not switch to loot as arms so that you can get that sword?

#

I dunno, I dont think I did anything wrong

warm plinth
#

I don't think you did but hopefully you didn't rub it in their face lol

toxic pewter
#

I didnt actually

warm plinth
#

That's good

toxic pewter

they were upset though

I'm sure they were

Hey so I've been playing prot warrior and honestly I don't really feel like I can protect anyone but myself? My wife's boyfriend keeps telling me "Oh on my prot pally I can protect my whole group, I can heal them I can give them immunities, what can you do?" and when I said I can give them health he proceeded to punch me and asked why I didn't block that... I'm on the fence here guys, do I make the swap to vengeance DH so I can take my revenge(hehe that's a warrior ability) on him? Or I could switch to a death knight and just ignore the thunder clap he's doing to my girls cheeks, all tips appreciated thanks

.... wat

#

is this some weird new copypasta or something

clever heart
#

So you guys know how 421 eranog ring is still going to be better than 447 ring for pure ST raid encounters.
Does that mean we need crafted frostfire belt to proc it still ? OR will the fire weapon from Neltharus be enough to proc it off cd ?

fresh igloo
#

personally i'd just sim it and go w/ whatever two embellishments rank highest

clever heart
#

O sick the new weapon enchant can proc also ?

sleek current
#

What's the DPS increase for running that ring?

sick sentinel
#

i dunno how it happend, but i got 182 polished pet charms, i should probably spend those on lvl 25 pets

you can run up to 2 of them

5guys makes the best burgers

#

search your heart you know it to be true

clever heart
#

ok thats the whole reason i was asking. i was wondering if i wanted to do 2x flamepatch or 1x belt + 1x flamepatch 4 eranog ring.

fresh igloo
#

so you might run shadowflame x2 or shadowflame+unstable frostfire belt for your embellishments

#

if you have eranog ring, sim out which is better

clever heart

tyty mac <3. ima do 2x shadowflame

ima do belt + boots like the pins suggest

It would be nice if Blizz would actually make our cheat death talent more useable.

warm plinth

🤷 It's not a cheat death anyway; we probably wouldn't use it even if it worked how it should outside of giga keys and even then I don't think it'd have much value since it requires dropping low.

#

I have yet to go thru the place without some pack appearing out of nowhere with a bazillion adds in tow for no goddamn reason

clear trench
warm plinth
#

The only place I've ever seen that happen is the bridge before ring of booty. Some spells can snag the pack that patrols under the bridge but you just pull it back or you pull it into the next pack and you're fine

median tulip
#

The whole section before the first boss, the adds below will just randomly aggro even if you're nowhere near them

sick sentinel
#

maxed out BS hammer

warm plinth
#

I've literally never had that happen

#

Someone is definitely doing something they aren't supposed to

kind urchin
#

I've had that pack only pull one time. I usually do a huge pull and take everything over to the ring of booty.

fresh igloo
#

I did have that happen once last week actually

#

following the same exact route we always do

median tulip
#

Happens all the time; always did. Back in BfA I once had the whole place aggro on me while I was stood motionless on the spawn in point

clear trench
warm plinth
#

I even throw down consecration, throw avenger's shield, throw out blessed hammer. Still never pulled it.

kind urchin

But sometimes dps hits things early and screw up the pull.

Nice. Now make a second one with Multicraft on it for making alloys with

i gotta get the rank 3, i only have rank 2 scrolls

warm plinth
#

Doesn't inspiration proc the next rank?

median tulip
#

No; Inspiration procs give a certain value of skill (quite a lot, once maxed out and using the various consumables)

warm plinth
#

Right but generally you want inspiration so you can proc a higher rank no?

sleek current

... this better be a good vault tomorrow Blizz!

just send LS and do your normal rotation

Ok fair point. I got my 2 and 4 set today with the reset so just now swapping to the Bolster build. So I just need to send LS on CD and not hold to sync with other abilities

properly played LS will get down to like 1 minute i think was the math

holding it for any length of time is probably not worth

rolling shadowflame is also another thing

#

I assume roiling shadowflame did around 3-4k dps ye?

latent steppe

didnt focus on the meter for it

You don't have to focus on it

Just click on it on details 😄

Jealous that you got the trinket

#

oh you didnt see the real one

#

441 ominous ^^

strong forum
#

Yeah that's a big one for m+

latent steppe
#

i think i am going to make it. after 7 years of BDK, getting used to prot warr finally.

strong forum
#

Getting there seanbee

latent steppe
#

bdk: welcome home
prot warr: never opens the door

This is how they welcome damage i think

strong forum
#

Yeah basically, whenever your health moves as pwar, something went wrong

#

Pretty good way to go about it

latent steppe
#

just realized that prot warr has a red line of threshold against inc dmg.

#

must mitigate or die

#

but i am pretty sure they are going to nerf dargrul trinket proc rate cause it procs non stop idk

strong forum
#

They buffed it by 82% going into this season so uh

#

This must be intended

#

It's also not as broken as bacon is

#

I've seen bacon do as much as 13k dps in a key

latent steppe
#

its crazy af, i am only replacing it with Sarkareth hc trinket.

#

ominous remains as an anchor i think

strong forum
#

For m+ absolutely

latent steppe
#

perhaps grapnel beats dargrul?

strong forum
#

No

latent steppe
#

then big no to grapnel

strong forum
#

I have grapnel at 424 currently

#

It does about 2.5k dps in keys, but it has mainstat

#

So they're almost equal

#

But Mark of dargrul does more in ST

latent steppe
#

biggest con of dargrul is crit rate imo. i am trying to see from the + side that it buffs parry rate but you know... since i am playing with 441 forgestorm. i am loosing a lot of str and its making me uncomfy

#

even with sarka trinket it means another loss of str

strong forum
#

That's just a sim question

#

At that point

latent steppe
#

true

#

i couldnt agree much more

#

gotta get it and test it, hope i can get it this morning from the vault

#

few mins ago in +20 freehold i was about to destroy Unh DK in dungeon overall. with sarka trinket i will be aiming for the top haha

overlapping the loot or?

#

#

Also you can't miss out on vaults

#

They just stack up

#

Maybe it's people ultra tryharding their crests which is mega pointless

#

Since with this current new reset you will have all the crests you could ever need

latent steppe
#

sry for my ignorance

strong forum
#

No but what do you need so many crests for?

latent steppe
#

i get it

#

i mean i played it the way you think and right now i am around 439-441

strong forum
#

Yeah like, all the items you can upgrade become crest free once you get the ilvl once

latent steppe
#

and after this week most of the crests will be needless for me

Exactly

  • i used 4x hero crests for 447 upgrade on legs

I can still get like 13 aspect crests but have no gear to use em on

got a 424 shield today and seen that it requires no crests till max upgrade

cause i did upg forgestorm to 441 so

strong forum

Well it does

latent steppe

i was anxious as if it needs some crests to ramp up

strong forum
#

Unless they fixed it

latent steppe
#

i dont think they would cause dual wield classes are doing the same

#

same goes for fury warr

strong forum
#

They fixed it then

#

Cuz prior to fix you needed to spend crests on both weapon slots

#

Or on a 2h which counts for 2 slots

fresh igloo
#

for a bit it was bugged to only go from 2H to 1H/OH for the crest discounts

#

but they fixed it

if you believe you wont need any of the secondary stats for +555 buff you can also go for obsidian and have +164 each secondary stats

gets better when others have it

@strong forum I got beacon this week hmmNod

"Best in slot lists are fun. Getting gear with perfect itemization in every slot is way less important than just maximizing your item level, but there’s nothing wrong with having goals!

In general, you want to maximize your item level, then prioritize Haste over other secondary stats."

It's purely a damage perspective. If you prefer to just have stats, running two stat rings is a DPS loss, but I doubt the difference is ever going to be whether you get a kill on a M prog or not

Also, what is volcanic damage? Phys/fire? Nature/fire?
