Unless you have motor issues hitting things too quickly, probably not - you don't want to waste it
do you mean avatar?
In general you do not want to combine things
avatar is off GCD, demo shout is on GCD
It’s better to have control
mine is macro'd to avatar lol
huh chARMS?
Yeah because avatar is OFF gcd.
But it should not be macroed to Avatar because they have different cooldowns.
d4 event charms yogi
demo shout on GCD is so fuckjing cancer
caps lock, ddnt mean arms spec
It truly is
I'm sorry yeah it is on GCD, i guess my orc brain just froze
trinkets and blood fury are off GCD tho, right?
Is it safe to drop Impenitrable Wall for Splock on Tyr in magic-heavy keys?
so i can have one button using both trinkets, blood fury, demo shout and avatar?
theoretically
haha what's wrong with that
I would think that's a bad idea since you're reducing your frequency of shield wall, which also works on magic.
we use demoralizing as a dmg cd anyway
Theoretically, yes. Realistically, no, because Avatar and Demo have different cooldowns.
It should be shorter than Demo
try this keystone again i guess
depends on the map
easier without spiteful
It should always be shorter than Demo
@cinder nova , you definitely want iw
Why would the map matter
I’d drop blood surge
And only in Nelt
So far anyway
NL too but I haven’t done a key level where I felt I needed it yet
IV on 10 sec cd would be neat
Maybe once I get to 23-24
What if
Now hear me out
What if Iv was spammable but cost rage
More to manage yeah
But kinda neat
Wait never mind I don’t like DK
So I won’t like that
Let crit block chance block spells 
spell breaker gigachad
Let me dual wield tank
dual wield shields
reminds me of https://grimdawn.fandom.com/wiki/Totally_Normal_Shield
Totally Normal Shield is a Legendary Mace, and is available only with the Forgotten Gods Expansion. It allows the player the appearance of dual-wielding shields.
This item is not part of regular loot tables, but is found in a breakable Urn Cluster at the Shrine of Horran, once per character per difficulty. It comes in three different levels, cor...
Speaking of crit block, I'm gonna lean into Fury gearing and just tank in that gear. idgaf
This is the way
Ah, a fellow Spellbreaker brother 
I love those so much I made one of my homebrews based around them
i tried to get ai art to draw spell breaker as a gigachad but this is by far the closest result i got
gigantic cape, skinny shield
Right now, I think paladins are the closest to a spell breaker
Was happy with the BE Heritage gear because of that
Wow has
Just need a more fitting sword
still top tier heritage tbh
And an HD sunwell shield model
human and dorf too tho
I don't actually like the human heritage
The BFA warfront plate armor is way better
what blizzard should do, is feed world of warcraft into an AI, let it make a video and post it to youtube.
Only thing that might make me play hunter would be a traxex skin
hunter is the best class in the game when you can do your thing
I do the same with venthyr gear and the red human heritage too
speaking of heritage armor, doesnt this give some wh40k vibes
I tend to run naked with a fish for weapon and a wooden shield?
I did warfront on four plate characters every week to get that set lmao
Also, they should stop using kitchen plates as shields
Either your shield covers half your character or gtfo
I hate how hard it is to find good looking shields
blizzard pay attrention
Bucklers are lame yes
this is protection warrior fantasy
My man
Seriously yogi
You are just great
I want massive fucking tower shields in this game
Like bulwark x2
Riot shield x2
hey guys. what WA do you use to track Externals placed on you?
@sick sentinel Sword breakers bulwark
then they can turn fryingpan sized shields into bucklers, and let rogues and hunters equip those
Omnicd addon to see when it’s on cd, and I use Naowh WAs that show me when an external is on me
His are not fully public but I’m sure if you browse wago you’ll find some
yea i have omni to see when off cd. But ty ill grab naowh now.
You can easily find a weak aura that tells you why external you have on you
Just go to wago; also, you can take quazi’s auras and just copy and paste his aura bar with the external
Yeah great suggestion too ^
Or just duplicate some current auras you have and change the spell ID to what you want to see
Quazzi’s are free
Beacon havers
I did that with not uis weak aura package cause he doesn’t show CDs on his aura bar
No way
What's the cast time on it?
You got it!?
I'm at work still so no!
Damn I was about to be like bro I TOLD YOu
For real? disgusting
Pretty much 25% of my damage
I got anchor on my dk
That thing is fuckin' SICK
Omg it’s 2.5 second cast
I love anchor
I don’t even want it anymore
It’s worth
I want anvil on my warrior
Trust
It takes time to slam a nuke
I just wished tank damage wasn’t so tied to borrowed power
Same tbh
I look at my dks details… I’m pretty sure over half of it isn’t even my class
Also tbf warriors isn’t really borrowed power
i hate playing as dk
Not nearly as bad
i think dk is stupid
You see our SS, TC, Revenge all at the top
Dk is just so strong in the raid
bruh
Is "gear" borrowed power now
elaborate
Lmao
And with it being such a chill raid this tier… I want to help my guild prog and dk is the better choice
Harrow always slammin
ilvled like, 6 of them
No matter what @dusky canopy I'll be rocking a beacon and mark in keys
Naw, but it’s like certain things like annulet and eggnog ring
I'm just being a scumbag
Or seeing brewmaster damage collapse cause of the weapons of order change
Kind of sus
i dunno what it is that i don't like about dk
fuck 'em
i feel like you are vunerable to how much ever you can heal and your healer can in times as trouble as bdk a nd then you just gota pray
like after you used your ibf
or whatever it is dks do
I don’t like seeing anyone get nerfed
Yogi homie
i think they overshot the rings for sure but if we start calling item effects and talents "borrowed power" the term doesn't really mean anything any more
DK literally doesn’t need a healer
they do for spikey dmg fights
something that pings the tank for 500k
Agreed we leave gear alone
with the new build.
How much haste do u wanna have without any buffs
I agree for the most part but that bug was egregious.
don't worry about it, gear for ilvl
“Borrowed power” in my mind is time gated bullshit that you have to acquire to be optimal
Random gear with strong effects is not equivalent
Yea, but to fix the bug and give nothing back is egregious
Imo
Felt like pinging you again, sorry for the inconvenience
And I don’t even play monk
KEKW
you've achieved the dream
although i bet one mastery point sims for so much with that setup lmao
Oh btw no worries guy ping anytime I enjoy talking wow that’s why I’m here
This guy had 260ish mastery when I suggested to get some mastery so he itemized out of ALL of it instead lmao
Respect
i was spoiled by 436 druid healer
no idea what kind of (special/noteworthy) gear they had
pinned t30 talent builds are the most update builds?
Yep
asking because of the updated 2nd may note
last boss vortex needs a fat nerf still, boss is absolutely insane unless you have the perfect trinkets and classes
True and real
lol
Yeah it was never fun back in the day either
Add HP should be cut in half
question about bombs on Zskarn - i walked under the bomb as it was falling and got oneshot by it
i understand i should wait some arbitrary amount of time before detonating?
When they spawn on the direct opposite side of the room...
Adds have too much health and you spend way too much time having to focus them
ahh, i dunno then
I assume 21+ it starts to get tricky
Yah I always pull boss back toward mid after he does his channeling thing
The jump is not really a mechanic because if you jump, it does nothing. The add is unavoidable damage.
Wasn't enough
@warm plinth Isn't it level alt weekend for you!?
Nah, I have uh
June 18th-25th off work
The XP buff doesn't happen until the 15th of June
Yeah I agree, wish it was the entire event
But, there is a couple days of overlap with MoP timewalking
So that'll be some insane leveling
18th and 19th is the end of the MoP week I think
require 23 arc light capacitors to get all my first craft bonuses from engi i care abut, like, wont do the spark goggles ones
pugging kinda wild this week, Incorporeal is a hard counter to today's youth
I just inspect my nerds beforehand
extreme prejudice on any ret
If they aren't running said abilities they can get yopped
good, they ain't worth bringing if they don't spec that shit.
legit lose nothing by speccing into them
Just the main class I've noticed that bitch the most about having to use their ability
Eh I mean, if I have like any combination of hunter, druid, warlock, mage, I'd be pretty salty about having to use a CC as a ret paladin
So Bacon kinda good trinket
legit have not had any issues with incorp this week
is it scourging 11-15s or something
i noticed when i was helping out friends they just never want to lose a single gcd to cc even if it literally wipes the group
I think I've had one time where it was like...very poorly managed but other than that it's been okay
We were on last boss in UR, just a few seconds after the last adds spawned that I noticed that we're all doing 100 dps
Luckily the robot finishes off the adds 
1 add went unnoticed
yea i have had a wipe on altairus because pepega pug hunter didn't notice them spawning at the edge of the room
but only remember that instance because it was the only time i actually had one go off so far
its a good mechanic
all of my complaints with it come from being paired with spiteful
Atleast spiteful doesn't oneshit on a 21 anymore
It's now a much more manageable affix
yah spiteful is also fine; i just think its ABSURDLY fucking stupid that the incorp adds dont despawn cause of spiteful ghosts
Yeah that was fucking malicious compliance on Blizzard's part. Oh sure we'll make it despawn when combat ends. Proceeds to put it with an affix that extends combat after mobs are dead 
i play fury for most of my keys rn (it's somehow easier to get into 20s than as prot) and spiteful nerf is kinda nuts
it was mildly risky to facetank them at 20s last season
this season, max spitefuls melee fury for ~180k, it's a total nonissue
finally got the wyrmhole so i can travel where i want
pog
Oh hey yogi, did that vid finish uploading?
tf? What trinket is that?
heart of solace
ya
i linked it twice here so far, its unlisted
has stream audio for first 10 minutes incase you want to mute
That's the fucker
Guess I'm camping timewalking for more than just the mount
This cant' be right, it would have to have absolutely batshit uptime
im gonna dummy log and see
Had to be a fluke
I reran it and now it's -4K
heart of solace... i am really needing a trinket is it good
oh you cant even upgrade it lol
cant be that good
god, need 8 more azpthrottle souls
I'm giving it one more pass to be sure
Yeah, it's dogshit
I almost had a heart attack
Good lol
killed like 100 rares today
why
oh just do sometin not mythic +
bit faster traveling around dragon isles, make more toys with engineer etc
spell block doesnt affect magic dots right
Anyone happen to have a CD rotation for Mythic Rashok? WCLogs is down
Ooft I feel like the zskarn cheese nerf, means really bad stuff for us
oh nah its prob fine
No 3rd tank for bombs, and the dot already hits like a truck
why can you not bring a 3rd tank? youre saying because the enrage timer is to tight?
Yeah at least that’s what raid leader exchange is saying
Have to wait till reset to be sure
interesting thats a discord right?
@shut summit reckon we can survive without a 3rd?
we were the last tank to get a log on this fight, curious to see how hard it is now
Honestly i feel like that will make the fight more annoying
yeah its gigabuffed now
being able to control tactical destruction spawn location was good
it's weird for HoF now, anyone that is passed it now ideally wouldnt reclear if they want it
enrage thing is kinda whatever becuase you usually get overwhelmed by the traps anyway
idk im not a super dedicated raider i just pug blast heroic so well see what the mythic guys have to say about it
might finish gearing my paladin now just in case
Magical damage; pain
would you guys wear an equal ilvl ring with vers/mastery with a socket over a haste/vers ring
i would sim it
odds are socket will win if its same ilvl
more stats better than correct stats
so to speak
Defs sim
I believe the dot on Sarkareth is the exception.
ya gonna sim
Blocks it like any other magic (spell block that is)
Initial hit only?
spell block is great for sark
Does that mean you wouldn't have to run out/shadowrealm the dot explosion?
No, you still need to handle the explosion because that's on everyone, not just you
Gotcha, had a smooth brain moment where I forgot block is just damage reduction. Not complete avoidance 😄
Yo, best classes to deal with incorporeal besides lock? any ideas?
Besides it's my understanding that the tank generally has to do bomb on mythic anyway because it hurts DPS too much or something?
I'm a heroic pug gamer so I wouldn't know for mythic
Hunter, priest, druid, mage
I run with a monk who seems to trivialize it
Para is instant cast right?
I haven't had a CC broken on one yet. Aoe damage doesn't hit them
oh really, nice to know
Except for weird edge cases 😄
any we have to worry ourselves?
Nah
The two examples I've seen so far are twin moons from boomies and the kill shot cleave dot from MM hunters
But, since incorps don't seem to spawn in melee most of the time, it's generally not a concern
I swear all the ghosts spawning this week is so chaotic even if easy to deal with
Making me consider a different nameplate addon bcs of it
might switch to the weakauras ones
one of them turned into a pokemon
yeah, 1 more of frost and earth so long as these don't pokemon also
need help. Zskarn Heroic. How many stacks should tanks be swapping at?
7-12
and do the tanks have to stagger it?
Stagger it? What do you mean
So one takes 7, then the next tank takes it and the 1st tank has to wait to taunt back until the dot drops off the first tank
In the Profession Spells category. Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date with the latest patch (10.1.0).
what is this supposed to be
k...so take the 7th stack, 2nd tank taunts and then that sets the rotation from there pretty much
Basically yeah
No idea, never seen it before
beautiful...thanks
its for the evoker leggo IIRC
ii would like to point out that arclite capaictors arre 550gold each
they need, 50
@sick sentinel what size screen do you play on?
Lil bro plays on an etch a sketch
close as i can tell those are the models
I played on UW for a few years it was pretty awesome ngl
but went back to 27" so information was more centralized
Any tips for heroic zskarn? i'm running defensive stance and talented for extra stam but wondering if there's anything else I can do to reduce damage. Does spell block reduce damage from the dot he puts on you?
wait what? to my knowledge, incorps take 0 damage from anything.
That is how it's supposed to work, but is not the case.
huh TIL. Guess I just never ran in to it.
It also steals from target caps
e.g. if you have a fury war in the group, and there's an incorp in cleave range, it can steal one of their targets for their WW cleave
razor fragments and twin moons are the known culprits yeah?
So they only hit 4 real targets instead of 5 (even though it doesn't do damage to the incorp)
Those are the two that I've seen so far. I'm sure there are others.
But it seems to be incidental type things, not like actual full cleave abilities
Like our TC and Revenge don't hit them, nor do things like Avenger's Shield
But I assume that like fury, anything capped will be affected by them (potentially)
Razor fragments is a talent right i dont really know hunter
Yeah there doesn't seem to be any consistency in like...the type of ability that does it. Not that I've found anyway. So it must just be stuff that's coded weird.
i wonder if our 4pc effect can do it
Like the primary target of Moonfire won't do damage to the incorp but the twin moons proc will if it chooses the incorp to go on
I don't think so since it's just a frontal and it's immune to aoe effects.
As far as I know there are no actual aoe effects that will hit them. Just weird shit that spreads from other targets
very interesting it works that way
I haven't had the cc break once and I've intentionally used it for Blood Frenzy rage gain.
Yeah you can hit them on purpose with anything and it won't damage them
But I know that moonfire from twin moons can break CC on them. I don't think the one I have getting hit by razor fragments was CCed but since it did actual damage, I assume that would break the CC as well.
Huh. Interesting. Must be balance twin moons only then.
Yeah because if you cast moonfire directly on them, it doesn't do damage
Only if it cleaves on to them via twin moons
I do know druids casting cyclone on them is like actively trolling
Kinda curious if fiery brand can cleave to it with burning alive though 
Isn't it kinda hard to get cyclone for most druid specs anyway? And all but resto have to leave form to cast it anyway
Which just sounds terrible
If you cast cyclone no one can cast an overlapping cc until it falls off because of how cyclone works
Hibernate is 100% the play
Guys on tangent here, paladins should be doing more ST than us right?
oh wow so if im a whole 30k ahead that guys doing something wrong yeah?
Tremendously
figured as much just was curious
wow, 30k lol
OOF
I got traded a vial by a fury warrior today 
I've done about 50 runs and thats the first one I've seen
On my ppal. Idk if it's even good but figured it has to be better than dreadplates
yeah im not trying to weirdly flex or w/e that literally was happening
and he was literally flaming me for it hard
getting so mad
im like dude you hold threat you are the problem
im blasting i cant help it
Yeah like...do your rotation man wtf
so i was just curious if prot pal should be beating us when played well
he even had ilvl on me
lmao
im only 435
Flaming you for him being unable to hold aggro?
yes
How much damage was he doing?
oof

like...he could always taunt back if he lost agro..
I do shit ST damage but that's because I haven't practiced enough. Hitting dummy on prot paladin is a really shit test too because half our shit hits other dummies :/
Maybe just put the "fishhead" toy somewhere where no other target is
dazaralor dummies are good
That creates another taunt dr problem if it’s a fast swap
I have very strong feelings about 30k dps tanks
I know too many of them 😦
you get three taunts within 30 seconds if my memory serves me correctly
hard to see any fight where this would be an issue
unless he is trolling
He's doing 30k he's obviously trolling
some people are just bad
well
the vast majority of people playing this game are just that bad
The people who only press SS/revenge if they glow
so landed a new group
this time its a vdh
doing 33k
i only did 52k that one
LOL
This is why I can't trust other people to tank
Literally going to 2 box tanks from now on
Exactly, no aggro problems if you're both in defensive stance
ive had absolute fucking huge problems with other tanks maintaining agro in both normal and heroic pugs
i rip it like nothing
pisses me the fuck off that i have to either swap to def or stop pressing shit
1st week maybe i was like okay should be pretty normal
but idk whats going on after that
youre nicer than I
i will keep ripping until they get better or get replaced lol
it gets me kicked too sometimes but id honestly rather go somewhere else
then
LOL
@dusky canopy Rolled a 10 on Sark cloak and something else super low on the Beacon. HAD TO TAKE MINE FROM THE VAULT!
that's ok tho, thing is busted.
ranged even
oh so its basically another season of grieftorch casting with a new name
not that bad
Yeah except if you accidentally cancel it, you can just recast it instead of having to cuss at yourself
You need to take care with using Beacon, it can get you in trouble using it during a fight
Just got Neltharion's Call to Chaos
Wowhead's not calling it BiS
but the pins here
are
It's great
That's the joy in listing 8 trinkets in here
hi jordan
The pins here do not call anything BiS. It specifically says BiS lists don't exist and lists notable items from raid and dungeons.
ripperino
I was farming 2 underrot for the mount, decided to do m0 real quick while I waited for groups and dropped first try lol
Then I go into a VP 2 for the other mount and some shitty rag hunter gets it
rag hunter?
Ragnaros
What does his server matter 🤔
I guess in someones minds servers have some specific "aura" around them?
Like Argent-Dawn = everyone's a roleplaying weeb.
Etc.
Oh I know what he meant by it. I'm just trying to see if he's going to acknowledge the casual racism or not.
Fun fact, i got 5 characters on Argent-Dawn. I'm roleplaying as a warrior theorycrafter.
There are some literal gods in ragnaros

It's the same with literally any server. The fact that a lot of them speak no english or broken english just makes them stand out to people and it's really fucked up.
I agree
I'm ngl.
Playing with Argent Dawn people in dungeons is a breath of fresh air from time to time.
I had a mage in the group once (some casual +5 key) where he just was chatting all the time and when ever he pressed Combust he started talking about how he has to go through regenerative skin growth, which apparently hurts, after being on fire from Combust.
I've had some horrendous area52 and Illidan people
Was weird at first but hilarious later on.
Lol
Yeah I ran a Stratholme while leveling once and there was a paladin and a priest from Moon Guard (our big RP server) and that was an adventure.
Moonguard folks are always fun
The one group of people that I'll always have a gripe with are blazed out players and drunk to some degree as well
Nothing against drugs, I dabble
Yeah...people butt pull "sorry lul I'm high af"
Then get the fuck out of the queue man, come on
They're just fucking horrible all the time
I get shit faced as well outside of the game so nothing against the substances
What you said is pretty spot on
????
Casual racism?
Yeah, tf does his realm have to do with anything
Most Rag players I play with are pretty terrible
Oh well that's obviously concrete evidence that his server matters.
I didn’t say his server mattered, and even If I did how is that racist?
If his server doesn't matter then why did you mention it at all?
And why did you say "Most Rag players I play with are pretty terrible"
Everything against drugs. Shit's lame af.
- Because I did, I usually am skeptical about those players, and 2. Because they are
Like this is a very common thing in NA and it's stupid and ignorant.
There are no more good or bad players on Ragnaros than any other server. It's a stigma that needs to die.
Ragnaros is one of the only servers that I have ever seen a player with 2400 io/high io do half the damage of the tank
I really doubt that. More like you have the preconception that Ragnaros players suck and so you noticed that he was on Ragnaros when you saw the poor performance.
If it were true that I checked players performing poorly to see if they were on rag, and noticed lots of players playing on rag then wouldn’t that still make me right?
Which I still don’t, but conceptually
Meh. I dislike the language barrier at times. They're not necessarily bad in my experience.
The problem is that you're remembering the bad performance BECAUSE they're on Ragnaros. Not because all Ragnaros players are bad.
Like how many shitty players do you play with on a daily basis? How many of them do you even notice their server lol
Illidan has a lot of shitters.
Tichondrius too.
I notice those two realms WAY more than Ragnaros.
Well, incidentally those are both very large servers.
So naturally there will be more of both shitty and good players on them
Ragnaros is also a VERY large server.
It is, yeah
If you want to disagree with my assertion that most players on tag don’t live up to expectations that’s fine, but I still fail to see the ‘casual racism’
You don't see a probem with singling out latino players for their performance?
Because that's essentially what you're doing by singling out Ragnaros
That's who plays on that server
I never singled out Latino players. I named by server specifically cause I don’t think singling out Latin American servers is ok. I play with great quelthalas and nemesis players. You are the one assuming I’m being racist specifically cause I have bad experiences with a specific server.
Why are you so fixated on the server, is the point? You only notice the Ragnaros players because it's inherited bigotry that leads you to it. If Ragnaros wasn't listed as a latino server, you'd view it as any other server with shit players. You're ignorant to think their server actually determines their skill level.
Have you ever posted anywhere "this fucking Illidan hunter man" or "this fucking Tichondrius hunter man"? Because I truly doubt it.
But you did say "this rag hunter"
If you don't think that's a problem then you're just being willfully ignorant.
the only issue i have with people from other servers is if they're not NA proper
i don't even care about the latency myself, but people get mad bitchy and i'd rather just not deal with that
otherwise, those regions bad because they have humans and humans bad. na also bad because humans. eu also bad because humans
the only solution is to replace all humanity with superior machine lifeforms

You guys got it chill.
In EU we gotta roll the dice with a lot of the servers in regards to "CAN THEY SPEAK ENGLISH??".,
ALso, lets not turn this into too political. Thank you.
:^)
Xenophobia shouldn't be political, is the thing.
oh was it getting that way? i just saw some shit out of the corner of my eye while playing advance wars
Rather me just putting out the potential mess that could have unfold.
Is it true the russkies are beasts but never communicate?
i'm pretty against judging people based on region if we're not considering latency, considering i, uh, play on JP PSO2 servers, so
i don't even have to roll that dice 🙂
It's more like 50/50.
They are either godlike and never talk. Or talk too much but can't play the game.

Still not judging based on region, it’s one specific server I have negative experiences with players. People just trying to look for a reason to make it something to get angry about ig
fresh player and tank, any tips 🙂 ?
You're not meaning to do it, but you are.
Press your buttons, use CDs on CD
Ee. PRess buttons.
press shield block, face mobs
Their server is irrelevant and you're making it relevant.
😂
That being said, also check out the guide on IcyVeins
Shit players can be found on any server and if you can't find them, maybe it's you.
if you're like, wild new and have no idea where to start
Just like in any particular League of Legends game, the person that talks the most is the person that's most likely to be 0/10 running it down mid
saw quazi video now reading wowhead
I felt the server was relevant since I have talked to many people who tell me specifically not to invite people from rag, or talk about how a rag player griefed their key. It’s not just me having negative experiences
I've played League as a Single player game for the past 4 years.
I just have all the chats muted.
I have zero idea who or what quazi is, but hopefully it'll get you started
So i can't see things.
based
I love people that rage type in keys about literally everything
in the middle of council o captains on a 21`
"hey you can los here"
Wowhead guide's decent, too, but I prefer IcyVeins since its written by someone more dedicated to the class
"hey come here"
"hey"
motherfucker shut up they nerfed it
not even required anymore
play the game
ah ok ill switch to icy then
how would i know the routes lol, scared about that part the most
Honestly, both work. They are a solid basis for understanding the class and get you going.
I've played with shitty people from every server, if you fail to admit that, you're further proving other's point.
mash your face into them
be a scientist
EXPERIMENT
Experience. Just gotta jump into them and do them.
and this, yeah, if you're super duper new, it won't matter between them
Do you realize that you can't say it's not about their region when it comes to Ragnaros? Like...that's literally the vast vast majority of latino players outside of Azralon.
Like you can't say "oh it's just this one server" when that server is basically the entire population of that part of the world lol
That’s not what I’ve said at all, saying I find a lot of shitty players on tag doesn’t mean I haven’t played with a fair share of shitty players from every other server.
That's like saying it's not about Australia when talking about Frostmourne players.
A good thing to note is that they've been decently trending towards "Hold W" type routes barring a major skip or something, so you can clear most dungeons close to 100% just hitting mobs as you go
Right
And this here is because there are a lot of people who do exactly what you did. They are just perpetuating a stereotype.
Yeah just because there's others sharing your mindset doesn't make the mindset right
On top of that, you don't need majorly refined routes unless you're really pushing keys; you can still clear 23s and all even with overpulling.
you just might have some pugs that get really pissy with you
You'll also get pugs getting pissy with you if you do everything right, so
Again, they probably have had lots of shitty players in their keys, but because of the stigma surrounding Ragnaros, those are the ones they remember.
Hitler had a lot of followers.
Every Ragnaros player I’ve ran into except a couple in high pvp elo , sucked balls lmao
Oh good another one
people rarely even notice a player's region until something's gone wrong lol
Tell your server to stop bricking keys @warm plinth
I play late at night, so I default to checking regions to make sure I don't mix OCE and NA, but that's it
Exactly. People remember the bad far more than the good.
Yeah I'm not latino nor do I play on Ragnaros. Weird how I don't have to be part of that demographic to defend bigotry against them huh?

Didn’t you just say “Hitler had a lot of followers too”
Gonna be a mass mute in like 2 minutes if we don't swap away from the this topic that is going nowhere outside of just sparking hate.
Who’s really being a bigot lmao
jesus christ
No shot you just called me a bigot for saying Hitler had a lot of followers?
Yes, I too enjoy tanking in World of Warcraft.
I'm going to stop because I don't want to get muted. But I'm not ever going to not call this shit out when it presents itself.
Yes it could be negative bias, I don’t believe it is, but that’s possible. But you still accuse me of being racist simply because I have negative experiences with players that happen to be from Latin America. I’ll leave it at that because this whole conversation is dumb. But if you disagree that’s fine, but at this point it’s just looking for something be upset about
There is a warrior specialization called protection that I rather enjoy.
🤝
Anyone got any tips on playing Protection Warrior? I'm trying to figure out a playstyle that involves not dying - but doing damage is pretty good too
Let's be real, it's Stormrage people that are the real problem.
I have heard pressing buttons does wonders.
Woah... turns out the smartest players really are on Discord Servers
That's a lie.
D:
I sit in Stormwind, press 0 buttons, and have no issues staying alive.
wow 6 whole keys huh

Heck jeah.
Going big.
But no, i always get demotivated to play when raid parsing is tied to RNG procs.
Happened also with Corruptions etc.

why deplete?
See staying in stormwind is the play
can't deplete keys if you never leave stormwind
Back to my movie, behave kids.
Hi guys, my group is struggling to time a +15 this week, it's look like a lack of dps (boss take too much time to die... ) what do you think should be this minimal dps ? 50-60-70k on boss or more ?
On a 15? I'd say 60k should be easy for anyone without lust.
I think we have that, so I guess it's mixed with incoporeal thing, probably few mistakes on mechanics... yesterday we try uldaman and underoot +15, both not timed. Some boss was down in first pull, others take more times (2nd boss of ulda and underoot, both was our main issue)
If any incorporeal casts go off, that hurts you real bad
What's your overall item level look like?
For ulda go to the second boss first with lust
420-425 I think
yeah you should be timing 15s pretty easily
we had lust, but an incoporeal popped under the totem and wasn't cc, so everyone die.
that's all you have to figure out, at least two people need to be ready to look out for incorporeals
it was a tough evening, only HoI 14 was timed and I think with few seconds left (with the same group)
what's your comp?
literally giga group for incorpeal
2 traps
insta fear
hibernate
they shouldnt be an issue
banish
fear does the job
sure, just listing out what else they have 😄
from warlock not us
looks like some trap failed few times (when incoporeal pop in the middle of the pack)
that's on you to move the pack an inch to the side
yep
Pretty niche question, but on the second boss in neltharions lair, the dude who pretends to be a rock, is there a cast order for his spells? I'm never quick enough to hit spell reflect for sunder as it feels wildly faster than any other taskbuster spell. Id want to try and preemptively have it up so I don't need to try and hit my keys reactively.
Use bigwigs?
If you have bars enabled you see the tank buster miles ahead
Na it’s magical
Nah it's always been nature
Nice reflect damage
When you say bars enabled, what does that mean sorry?
His spellqueue isn't consistent so even if it's off CD he may not cast it right away. Best you can do is watch the timer and SR as close to the end of it as possible
Yeah he sometimes sits on the cast for 5s while it’s off cd, sometimes it comes instant
Sometimes you'll get it, sometimes you won't
That stuff
The bars with the boss abilities. I assume you have used bw/dbm in the last
*past
If that’s not the case let me know
I have not....
I didnt think it was possible to know what spells were coming without just learning them
Bro
Oh wow 😄 sorry, it’s just been an integral part of raiding and m+ since forever, that’s why this was my basic assumption.
You're about to experience a lifechanging event.
This
Download bigwigs/littlewigs

And prepare to have your mind blown
Bonus points if you download BigWigs Voice too
Spend 5 min configuring it.
And then level up your Gameplay by a factor of 100
For tank busters that are reflectable it is nice to enable countdowns
So you have a voice counting down from 5 seconds before the tank buster comes
Then it’s ez pez
I think we just cured Eldritch's anxiety
that boss had me sweating and shaking over the spell reflect key the whole fight
I'll report back once I've tried this witchcraft
Just remember that you still might not always reflect that particular one because of spellqueueing
But you will at least have a good idea of when it's coming
Tricky question I suppose: 3rd uldaman boss: can we intervene-spell reflect the dot?
Do we actually want to use Voice of the Silent Star since we are losing alot of stamina ?
Stam doesn’t really matter that often, we don’t get one-shot
Cloaks are like...the lowest stat budget item tied with bracers. I'm sure we'll survive.
good morning guys i got phial of Animated Blood (424) Mark of Dargul (428) Ward of Faceless Ire (424) and Frenzying Signoll Flare (424) wich Comb i should use
Vial and Mark or Ward and Mark depending on whether you want a defensive trinket or not.
sims tell me that Mark of Dragrul and Frenzying Signoll Flare makes as combo most DPS 200 more than Mark of Dragul and AnVil
What are you simming?
thx i will try it with Phial and Mark otherwise i use Mark and Ward
was single fight
and Top Gear
you could consider Heart of Thunder as well, if you want to double offensive trinket
if you like that you'll love reflecting the slam after the knockback on last boss
New to tanking and don't know how to sim as tank. Is using raidbots or any particular for tanks , like healers have
the magma thing?
what about treemouth? isnt that better than talisman of the crashaper
We SIM the same way as DPS.
If I kill sarkareth will I see loot from him in the vault every week or just in the week that I've killed him?
u can see it every week
doesnt mean youll get it
its just random loot from bosses youve killed
From bosses You've killed . That means in order to get a chance for loot from Sarkareth I need to kill him weekly
Could you explain a little bit more? I'm new to wow and tanking. How do you use raidbots I don't understand it
because the best stats for damage are your best defensive stats/ enough to live because your can tank anyting in any gear from this season basically as tankiness comes form play
Talisman has shorter CD and larger absorb
Treemouth has larger absorb, if not considering the dmg taken.
That being said, if you don't need an absorb every minute then yeah, tree mouth is better cuz mainstat the mainstat on it is just more dmg
or perhas I'm dumb from checking 441 vs 4387
With tree mouth you inflict self dmg, which half of it is already going into tree mouths absorb iirc
oh really, my bad then.
But like I said, if you don't absolutely need the 1min CD on talisman, then treemouth is an 3% overall dps gain
For ~roughly the same absorb
Okay got IT thanks
But both being 50% absorbs is fantastic for our kit
Cuz it activates IP and is also a buffer for IP that it doesn't get consumed so quickly so it's rather a 75% DR than just 50
ow ok so i have both 441 im gonna chose wisely now
Indeed. Both feel very much viable to play. Talisman is almost an overkill, but it feels rather overpowered in keys if you rotate defensives somewhat properly.
btw talsman have 600 vers wich is nice for me ( i mained cirit hast)
point still stands
In general indeed. But you might also feel a stronger chunk of incoming magic damage without any versa. And it can be an issue in some specific dungeons. Like some places in Uldaman, or Neltharus.
fun fact- that was news to me i thought it only considered kills if the weak

thx
u mean cirit haste when saying mainstat?
no, strength
str
ow
which is why some trinkets are elusive in how much dmg they provide
trinkets without str often have stronger dmg procs
and trinkets with strength have less stronger dmg procs
but for the fact that it has mainstat it equals out, or often outright beats other trinkets unless overtuned like bacon
Primary stat =primary most effective way of increasing performance secondary secondary tert third
You always want more int as caster say
so i have this two
but yea i notice mark of dragul does more damage but since zaqali have str i gusse it balance it out?
well not exactly
its moreso that primary stats are str/int/agi + stam
mark is slightly overbudgeted so it does a bit more but yes
Not only that, but this tier they made a change that even if you didn't kill say, the 3rd or 4th boss, but you killed the 5th, you will have the 3rd/4th boss's shit on your table too.
they made it specifically so that if you killed endboss on that difficulty once, it unlocks all loot to be rolled
Weird, anyone else just have discord die for like 5-10 mins?
Ye
since i have no real defensive trinkets (not sure if icon counts), should i use Mark of Dragul and Grapnel? Tanking mostly m+
id still use icon if its to enable dps in dungeons
you dont rly need defensive trinkets until ultra keys if at all
full send dps until you think you cant
also, whats the CD of sunder from second boss in NL? can i reflect them all?
I'm a bit slow into the tier - did not see the Forgestorm weapon - am I screwed ? Did I megawaste a spark? Got Weapon and Shield. Second question, it seems to me the dungeons drop good/haste vers belt/boots/bracers - could a crafted cloak be an option till lastboss raid decides its time I get his cloak? 😄
you can. if you run away from him when he cast his spells. because sunder is melee spell ;>
cringe
You get a spark every 2 weeks guaranteed so idk about wasted. I would not be spending a spark on a cloak any time soon though. There's a ton of cloaks, they're low stat budget, there's just no reason to spend a spark on a cloak
can someone explain to me how to use crafting orders? let's say i want a 447 shield, I understand i have to somehow obtain an enchanted aspect's shadowflame crest? how do i go about getting that?
you need wyrm or aspect crests and an enchanter person
only rank 3 tier 3 and 4 whatever you call it, of crests can be enchanted to be used in crafting enchanted crests
and then once you have the crests, and the enchanting parts (ah or alt or guild) you bring to enchanter, they make the enchanted crest then you bring it the the work order place and have some one use the enchanted crest on your gear
then, you have a 437 max at rank 5 (wyrm) or max 447 (aspect)
TL;DR: 4 aspect crests = 1 enchanted aspect crest (made by ench) = one 447 crafted piece
Or 3 wyrm crests = 1 enchanted wyrm crest = one 437 crafted piece
Enchanted crests are used the same way infusions were last season
another TLDR (this is type of stuff could be on war craft yt shorts if lots of ppl don't know how it works)
each crest is 2 or less timed runs and 3 failed runs, if the way you want to go about it is keys mythic +
go to appropriate key level that drops that parts you want, and it drops 5 if you fail the key, or 12 if you finish under timer
it take 15 fragments across all 4 types (lowest) whelp > drake > wyrm > aspect (highest)
@warm plinth One of my best WoW friends was originally a rag player from Argentina, he mains disc/holy and is absolutely goated. In general I have way better experiences with high io rag and azr players. It’s almost like they’re used to not being able to communicate with a lot of players so they just naturally do everything next to perfect without asking.
It’s great. People miss out on a large portion of really good players because they blindly follow the bad stigma lol.
I’ll continue climbing, while all the stigma nerds keep failing with the shitter illi bros or A52 players, it’s funny how that works
its good until you say "warlock banish the caster"
and he has no idea wtf you are on about
can't even begin to u nderstand what you just typed, or what you want him to do
takes him 20 seconds to understand
And then they end up banishing anyway because they just know it needs to happen
or they disconnect
cuz im in canada and they are in mexico or texas or somethin
GG internet
Fun fact you can explain what to do to someone who can understand you perfectly and they will still fuck it up because of lack of skill.
well, yeah, but its like, if you have a kid driving a car and you tell him how to not make a car crash vs a adult with brain and liscence
the reaction time to understanding the goal is whats imperative
If you tell the Warlock that they can freely Mortal Coil the adds they'll do it flawlessly
Extremely funny that yogi is the one saying this tbh
its possible it could fuck up because rng says "GG too bad" as well as the skill issue
Ok so for your example you could just physically teach that without talking. And probably find success
It is.
No shot you just.
My point is when people try to blame language barrier for their shortcomings, they usually could have just played better themselves.
And respectfully, when you play at a 11-15 key level range, communicating is the least of your worries because that level bracket usually makes a lot of mistakes regardless of any “barrier”
anyone have a good route for Brackenhide?
Yogi out here getting hit in the back half the dungeon saying "nah man it's because the rag player didn't understand me"
we go right or left after 1st boss?
Right
I use the taktyk route for that place
Trees every time.
Right is hands downbetter
Then after you chop down the tree and cross the bridge
You can skip stuff by going up to the right onto that hill
well, ragnaros or no, im still usually down to just invite whomever
Pull the bear and such and then do 3rd boss
And then go from there
Much easier
Gimme a sec
but i mean shit, people getting mad and screaming and yelling over world of warcraft failures
You need to Invite your own region. Well not need. But for keys it's always best
nah, never heard of that happening ever
I see a quality player in que that fits the role I want I invite it’s that simple, With the exception of frostmourne and that is only because of latency issues.
how do i activate the graveyard at Gutshot?
5 min into key I have 209 ms
Yea it's oce
90% of my keys I'm at 200ms because of the times I'm awake doesn't stop us.
Key naturally depletes
honestly, its only when its past 90 MS that lag gets bad i find
if its below 90 its fantasticly smooth, if its 250, we are doomed
Idt there is a gutshot gy
I was on Mug thol
keystone.guru shows there is one 🤔
It is insane
but idk if you have to do something to trigger it maybe
More like keystone.noobu
I live in Sydney
the graveyard for bracken picks the second boss you killed
it never updates forward
ohh
yeah it sucks
My GF has been raiding HoF from AU on American servers for 4 expansions, so it's not quite the excuse people think it is.
Oh that's uhhh dumb
what im saying is there is much crap that can go wrong in a key for any reason thinkable and then ragnaros players frequently dc or can't comunicate,, and so, they set them selves up as easy targets for people mad that they just failed the key and wiped
Well, I know you can 100% for gutshot because I've had bad despawns, idk about last boss
the packs in tree area are really weird though comparing to the MDT map
no clue which to take and which not to take 😄
@crude notch gaming at 200 ping is totally doable but it does show it’s inconveniences from time to time
It doesnt matter mostly
I thought this discussion was told to cease like 8 hours ago by Mwahi.
Almost none of the mobs do anything
I go tree first and still have no idea what I actually pull tbh
yea juust as long as i get to 69.2% for 2nd boss
U basically just w key
Oh I must of skimmed past that message my mistake. Happy to drop it.
Just make sure you drag mobs on top of totem spawns
feel like the last time i did Brackenhide we were at 100% count on 3rd boss 🤣
they cant be ignored, only if the rotsinger dies early
This happens frequently lol
I'm pretty sure thunder is non-existent.
I'm like ruler of vortex pinnacle at this point.
