play the exact same dungeon

strong forum
#

target count

spring ermine
#

in the same way

strong forum
#

1 sample size isnt large enough

jagged pier
#

U would need to play the same dungeon at the same level with the same ppl pressing the same buttons at the same time

spring ermine
#

its an estimate only, yes

jagged pier
#

Multiple times

strong forum
#

fbv is 2-4k hps

jagged pier
#

To get an accurate result

strong forum
#

brv can provide way more than that

proper roost
#

Play the exact same way in an entire key 🤔

strong forum
#

emphasis on can

#

you can play both

#

but BrV has more applicability imo

spring ermine
#

keep in mind though that brv does nothing if you dont have an active ignore pain...sure if you play perfect you'll almost always have, but reality is you dont. check logs.

strong forum
#

yes i know

#

but its 15% absorb leech vs 4% pseudo leech

spring ermine
#

often when you die, you did no longer have an active IP

strong forum
#

like i said

#

you can play both

#

both scale the same way

#

weak in ST

#

strong in aoe

#

both fairly inconsequential

spring ermine
#

@strong forum why 4 % pseudo leech

strong forum
#

cuz its only deepwounds dmg healing

spring ermine
#

ah

#

and why 15 % leech?

#

its 10 %

#

from the talent

strong forum
#

wait is it

#

oh

#

yeah

spring ermine
#

yes only with 4p of t29 its 15

strong forum
#

cuz of loss of tierset

#

right

spring ermine
#

and its in reality even less than 10

#

since it will not always trigger

#

so more like 8-9

strong forum
#

yes and i like i said before

#

fbv is trickle healing, which can potentially steal healing from indom, actual leech and other hots aswell

#

the more sources of healing you add, the more it conflicts with others

spring ermine
#

that is true

strong forum
#

so as said 3x before

#

fairly inconsequential

#

not large enough to matter between the 2

spring ermine
#

yeah i know both is viable, i just like discussing the pros and cons

strong forum
#

like in the ultra pull dungeon BH fbv wouldve been ~6% pseudo leech for me assuming it would always heal all of its dmg its ever ddone

#

its super hard to evaluate how much BrV contributed to my IP value

#

cuz you cant just math it out

#

nor will doing the same exact dungeon twice suffice as enough data to hint at anything

vocal nimbus
#

whenever i inspect someone the window closes like 5 seconds after opening it

spring ermine
#

what would you say, when you die, how often do you have IP up?

vocal nimbus
#

anyone had a similar problem?

strong forum
#

i dont die

spring ermine
#

you would in higher keys at some point

strong forum
#

sure

hollow bolt
#

when i die its cause i got my shit hit by like some 235k hit

#

both are useless tallent into none

strong forum
#

when you play optimal rotation, the only time you dont have IP up is, is when you didnt get SS resets

spring ermine
#

@hollow bolt that only happens when you dont have active IP

#

so yeah

strong forum
#

yeah so what will 1k hps do

#

in that situation

#

cuz you mostly only die to 1shots in high keys

#

which often occur from bosses

#

or very specific mobs

spring ermine
#

yeah then the heal also does nothing

#

its true

hollow bolt
#

man someone blocked keeps messaging me

strong forum
#

the "only" way to die in high keys is to mistakes

#

and those mistakes happen quickly

spring ermine
#

exactly. the reality is mistakes happen.

hollow bolt
#

shit the only way to die is mistakes class is so strong it plays itself

#

that or healer sleep on big pulls

strong forum
#

well yeah

#

if the dps doesnt kick spell X -> death

hollow bolt
#

truuue give reflect 2 charges blozzardo

strong forum
#

if you didnt use your CD at the correct time -> death or extremely low hp

hollow bolt
#

/shrug keys are hard 2 fuck up

#

most dgns are push w collect rating

spring ermine
#

@hollow bolt if you are experiencing this, just push higher keys

#

until you hit a point where you no longer feel like that

#

which will come eventually

strong forum
#

keys are all about group coordination

#

not about perfect individual player skill

#

which is why its not super uncommon to see players in the higher ranks with not perfect rotations

#

especially tanks

hollow bolt
#

that2 in groups its fun to talor your talents to your groups ability i refuse to use spellblock, thats an extra butten and its confusing i just yell for ss or external

#

then they yell at me for depleting kek

spring ermine
sick sentinel
#

we are dying to flame eruption

#

uhh maybe ? i dunno yet

strong forum
#

using an external is perfectly fine, you have only so many CDs available, but especially this season the most scary abilities arent magical

oak ivy
#

no sry i was referring to the one where he picks a target and beats on them for a bit, not savage charge

strong forum
#

outside of those previously named dungeons

hollow bolt
#

yeah its all bosses throing an extra empowered brick to your dome

daring marlin
#

healer just gotta heal through it

fast knot
#

I've been hard focusing Gnashtooth for that exact reason, feel like past a 20 that fixate with goobers being late on their defensives is a death sentence

spring ermine
#

is honed reflexes that bad? barely see it picked

hollow bolt
#

same that motherfucker scary

#

been debaiting runing intervene and see if i can eat that fixate

strong forum
#

honed reflexes rarely adds value unless you specifically need the CDR for kick on a specific mob to have a 2 man/ solo interrupt rotation

#

the shield slam CDR almost never gets any value due to resets of shield slam

fast knot
#

I've tried and I don't think the ability is classified as a melee attack

hollow bolt
#

damn ty

fast knot
#

my poor healer died in front of my face anyway keks

daring marlin
#

like bro he does NOTHING

fast knot
#

Because kicks are scary and he heals and stuff

hollow bolt
#

yeah just set em on focus

fast knot
#

I dunno, lead poisoning or some shit

daring marlin
#

must focus this useless caster

spring ermine
#

@strong forum yeah thats prolly true

sick sentinel
#

yeah, so that thing i mentioned

daring marlin
#

meanwhile the other hogger eatin' dat ass

sick sentinel
#

everyone died to it on final boss

#

healer died to everything

proud patrol
#

on uldaman last boss do you guys use reflect to reduce the sand breath or deflect the debuff?

sick sentinel
#

we died to flame eruption and if we didn't we would have timed

strong forum
#

aoe sims should now be a bit more accurate on raidbots

#

just make sure to sim using the "latest" version

warm plinth

Thanks dad

earthbolt + the rogue fixate is a guaranteed death

but yeah the rogue is better to focus

its so funny when people kill the cyclone adds first in VP instead of the soldiers

daring marlin

its the soldiers that kill the group

#

not the kick adds

daring marlin
#

dude right?

#

That fucking charge TRUCKS

strong forum
#

yup

warm plinth

Plus the adds literally make you immune if a cast gets off. Not exactly the end of the world.

daring marlin

If I ever get cloned

I'm alt+f4ing

strong forum
#

people gonna have a rude awakening when theyre suddenly gonna get destroyed by the soldiers in high keys

daring marlin

😉

warm plinth

That's the pro strategy is to let all the dps get stunned and then the soldiers can't damage them

#

Giga brain

fast knot
#

I'll pass it on to my healer so they can stop going OOM

proper roost
#

can the cyclones even target tank? 🤔

warm plinth
#

Don't think so no

fast knot
#

as a last target probably

#

That'd be some bullshit

strong forum
#

they can if youre first

warm plinth
#

Lolol

strong forum

then you can reflect both

#

and proceed from there

proper roost

We're talking about the cyclone not the damage thing

#

i dont even know what the cyclone cast itself does

#

too scary to let go through

daring marlin
strong forum
#

its always the fuckoff ability if they have 2 kickable cast but they spam 1 and the other only rarely

daring marlin
#

More variety!

strong forum

that usually means the rare cast is scarier or aoe

warm plinth

#

hah

#

yeah okay

#

good that i try my hardest to stop all and every cast then

proper roost

i feel like halfway through every season, a bunch of my friends get fed up with dps queue and reroll tank alts

warm plinth

Lol

#

Thats when you do the 5 tank group

so then I get baited into playing dps, and then at the start of the next season i'm stuck with 0 tanks again

My bw will countdown on totems on navarogg like 5 times before it goes off.

yeah thats the one part where its a bit off

#

before intermission shit takes a bit longer than bw says

#

but its smth like bellow -> sunder -> intermission

proud patrol
#

Sorry to ask again, I just did Uldaman 20 and the last boss frontal was insane, however our heal was complaining about the time sink debuf which i could prevent with spell reflect but i was using it to mitigate the sand breath (because arcane dmg i think) when i did not have other def cds - did any of you guys have a similar experience or am i dumb to use spell reflect on that frontal? 😅

strong forum
#

or sunder -> bellow -> intermission

crude notch
#

One thing I've learned with that boss is never trust others to track the totem

strong forum
#

uldaman last boss is just rough

#

on everyone

crude notch
#

Line the frontal

#

You can los it.

strong forum
#

and im pretty sure you cant reflect time sink

proud patrol
#

ye the sheet says you can deflect the debuff

#

which is cool

quiet minnow
#

Los the breath

strong forum
#

lemme check my log

proud patrol
#

but the frontal is just insane and i can only really los it twice without trolling my melees 😄

quiet minnow
#

You can los it on pillars all around the room

proud patrol

oh shit

#

on these spiky corners?

quiet minnow

hm okay

apparently something else ate my spell reflect then

cuz when we did 20 this week i got the debuff despite pressing SR shortly before it

Heck DPS though they can rot

marble cipher
strong forum
#

No it is the puddles

#

Or well, the debuff application after puddle cast

cinder nova
#

Are you talking about retch?

marble cipher
#

yeah, that's the one I SR

#

and then just stand in the puddles

#

that's correct right?

cinder nova
#

Toxic Retch applies a debuff to the entire group as a poison DOT.

#

Rancid Maw places slow areas on the ground.

#

You reflect Toxic Retch before the cast completes to deflect(?) the DOT application.

#

It's basically like having a DPS that can dispel themselves, except it's only you, and you can only do it preemptively.

marble cipher
#

yeah, that's what I do, but toxic retch is also the one that puts all the green goo at the boss' "feet" right?

cinder nova
#

Yes. Just don't stand in it. There are ample places to stand and the worm has a hitbox the size of Siberia.

marble cipher
#

fair, never seemed to get any dmg from it though, but, makes sense to still go to a safe spot just in case

cinder nova
#

That's what separates us, the enlightened, from the animals scraping in the mud: the DPS.

#

Never reduce yourself to their status.

marble cipher
#

then on totem boss it's Sunder, and on last boss it's Molten Crash iirc
First boss doesn't really have anything to SR, maybe when you have to run during crystal floor thing I guess

cinder nova
#

Can you reflect Sunder?

marble cipher
#

y

cinder nova
#

Wild. I was just taking them to the teeth. I'll have to do that.

marble cipher
#

very annoying spell queue on it though

#

as it's often off cd, but boss does a ton of other stuff first cause reasons

cinder nova
#

He always will Sunder right as he comes out of his intermission. You can plan on that, at the very least.

marble cipher
#

and cast time itself is 0.5s soooo

#

yeah, you can plan a few, pull and after phase

novel cloak
#

how do you guys feel about season 2 mythic, would you say its harder than season 1 mythic?

cinder nova
#

Yes and no, but overall: no.

#

Yes because the healer nerf means everyone - not just healers - needs to be playing more intelligently and deliberately when damage starts hitting certain thresholds.

novel cloak
#

im finding it REALLY hard going in PUGs

cinder nova
#

No because overall you're just battling the dungeon's mechanics, and the affixes are an occasional nuisance.

#

PUGs are being pushed to the bottom because they can't just overwhelm mechanics with gear and FOTM memes.

novel cloak
#

so you think its cos im running in pugs?

cinder nova
#

People need to be pressing defensive CDs more proactively, and I think I've seen two DPS do that this entire season outside of immunities.

#

Absolutely. I run in PUGs and it's nightmarish to get them to do anything, even at 20 onward.

#

I recently hooked up with a group in need of an M+ tank for that reason, they were all from one guild but proactively did mechanics that made the key a snooze.

#

There's only so much you can save the DPS from before they have to save themselves, honestly, and better for it.

#

I'm out here with the Doomfist mentality:

Either the hardship will break them, or it'll temper and harden them into decent players. Knowing PUGs, it's going to be overwhelmingly the former rather than the latter, but you can bet there are players out there that are actively attempting to get good and adjust.

novel cloak
#

thats for the feedback. i think you are dead right, and its a pug problem. i look at cds used, kicks done and they are next to non existent and the mmechanics from the trash just wreck them

Completely missing the fact the group is losing 2/3rds of their HP on unbuffed stomps.

Honestly the trash is more hazardous than most bosses, I find.

is good put the Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch to the shield?

Yeah true - but I do also think that the timers are all on the easy side

They are.

So often you can fuck up trash and make partial progress and still time

cinder nova

They're still on the easy side post-reduction.

mighty valley
#

If bosses are the wall, then the key is just dead

cinder nova
#

I still see plenty of boss wipes, usually from low DPS, people dying to predictable or avoidable damage, or just not doing mechs.

I also just see a lot of people not pressing their buttons, honestly. I ran ULD with a Prevoker that didn't once use CF despite getting 3 stacks of Crunch.

If anyone could help me out

#

No, I'm talking about this BiS gear from the website:

lusty grotto
#

so the simulation craft site instead of raidbots

steady lynx
#

Yes.

lusty grotto
#

why are you looking at that

steady lynx
#

Doesn't that tell you what the best possible dps combination is?

lusty grotto
#

do you mean a bis set? take a look at our pins

#

similarly icy veins and wowhead have suggestions

#

but just so you understand

#

the crafted helm is there due to the shadowflame embelish

#

which can go on any crafted armor piece and on the crafted shield

#

like the pins say the optimal embelishment set is either 2x shadowflame or 1x shadowflame + unstable frostfire belt

#

that list is close to being accurate, but only if you have access to Mythic sarkareth cloak and Mythic echo of nelth' shield

#

anything lower than mythic loot will have to be simmed

#

(and its entirely possible a lot of stuff from vault/keys can outdps heroic versions of the shield for example)

*Note: The first stack applied seems to correctly apply a 5% damage reduction. Currently the second stack applied seems to bug and apply a 100% damage reduction (more like 99% in practice) meaning a single DK in your group can make the entire trash or boss do almost no damage for 10 seconds.

They're obviously not running it for ST as they're mostly running storm infused

Aren't u the meme guy around here, prolly shouldn't have responded my bad

7% of Sense's damage in his 23 Underrot was Thunderclap, my guy.

He's also still running melandrus so something tells me he isn't getting any good ring drops

toxic pewter
#

i still do more dam with annulet than even 441 ring

crude notch
#

I'm pretty sure the confusion should've stopped there

crude notch
#

They ran it because it helped increase the damage stone procs substantially

toxic pewter
#

the healing is just a means to trigger more dam

crude notch
#

Honestly that's all they need to do to make everyone stop running them.

Hi everyone
Is there a target count where sonic boom is worth playing over TR?

lusty grotto
#

id be fine with them doing like 30% less damage

#

with it*

#

would be great for DKs

#

and not ridiculously op

Stats on rings are better.

unkempt fox
#

ty

spring ermine
#

Whats up with the pinned message only mentioning annulet and diurnas as notable rings, and none others?

stoic ore
#

around how much vers should you be aiming for? simming goes mainly for damage so it always prio's crit for me

spring ermine
#

There is no vers cap that you need to aim for

toxic pewter
#

i dunno for some reason i do better with annulet/eggnog ring still

spring ermine
#

Keep in mind though annulet does not provide any survivability (or almost none)

#

Sure, pure dmg wise its fine

lusty grotto
#

it specifically says for raid

#

the items there have very notable procs or effects

#

so you can figure out what rings you will need based on stat prio and sims

#

outside of those 2

spring ermine
#

usually shield block is capped to like 24 seconds or something. why does it go up to more than 30s during last stand?

lusty grotto
#

because bolster bumps up the cap

#

the standard cap is double the base duration

#

so 12 seconds

#

bolster bumps it up

spring ermine
#

ah thats crazy

#

doesnt even say that in the tooltip

#

thanks!

#

i often encounter that i have so many procs that i can use SS and thunderclap a lot, and therefore not using revenge that much. this in turn leads to massive amounts of overcapped rage, which of course is then dumped with IP. anyone else encountering the same? i dunno, it kind of makes "show of force" seem like not a great talent. it simms good, but only because the sim is just spamming revenge.

lusty grotto
#

well thunderclap doesnt proc

#

SS does

spring ermine
#

yes

#

thats what i meant sorry

lusty grotto
#

and since IP is off gcd, you can dump with revenge + ip on a gcd cycle

warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

i stand corrected

warm plinth
#

But yeah, Bolster doesn't give a shit about the shield block cap

#

and will still give you 15 seconds regardless

spring ermine
#

@lusty grotto should you use revenge when you have ss or tc up?

#

i mean once for deep wounds yes

#

but besides that

lusty grotto
#

when you have SS no

#

when you have tc up, sure, if you need to rage dump

spring ermine
#

for example, i often pull with avatar etc, and for the full duration of avatar im maybe using a couple of times revenge because i can use ss and tc all the time

warm plinth
#

SS>TC>Revenge is the priority

spring ermine
#

so it makes me think show of force is trash

#

during avatar, surely tc has prio over revenge

lusty grotto
#

you should be TC to Revenge to TC to Revenge during avatar

#

SoF will buff each other out

spring ermine
#

yes but in reality i get so much ss procs

#

that it doesnt get to that a lot

#

i guess its due to a lot of haste plus the weapon speed from shield charge

lusty grotto
#

shrug

#

SoF is certainly not trash

#

its a straight up damage bump

spring ermine
#

what i'd like to know is if you guys go in with all cds (for example freehold first pull), how often to you actually use revenge during the avatar window? on average

#

because i rarely get to do it

lusty grotto
#

quite a bit

#

are you clipping gcds or something?

spring ermine
#

nah

lusty grotto
#

that pull is always lusted, and you still revenge quite a bit

#

either way if you dont, i hope youre tabbing targets fast enough with the sped off gcd, or you have a slave hunter/rogue

spring ermine
#

can you explain a bit? i would see several reasons why

lusty grotto
#

cause there's no way youre gonna keep threat on 9 mobs with only SS

spring ermine
#

well during avatar you are clapping like a crazy mofo

lusty grotto
#

with lust, pre pots

spring ermine
#

and you have ravager and thunderous roar

lusty grotto
#

what level key is this?

spring ermine
#

21

#

fort

lusty grotto
#

do you have a log?

spring ermine
#

i'll make one next time

#

good point

#

a bit unrelated, when i log in my shield is often gone until i attack a mob

#

anyone experience the same?

#

by gone i mean its not visual

lusty grotto
#

also

dire sparrow
#

you're in your profession gear

lusty grotto
#

if youre clapping so much, dont you think its best to buff the TC with SoF?

spring ermine
lusty grotto
#

im kinda confused here

spring ermine
#

thats the thing nim, yes i would like to buff it but not if i have ss up due to procs

lusty grotto
#

im sorry i just find what youre saying hard to believe

dire sparrow
#

TC takes prio over revenge, you just wanna make sure you're not overcapping on rage, dumping rage into IP isnt a bad thing, because you're building more outburst procs

lusty grotto
#

geared dps will rip the shit out of your agro by avoiding revenge

spring ermine
#

yes i know dumping rage with IP is fine, the point is that if revenge is rarely used, then show of force is not good

#

i will create a log next time

#

then we can check that

#

threat is alright nim, and im running with guys that pull 140k+ overall

#

yes sometimes it is tough but its doable

dire sparrow
#

i mean you dont have avatar up every pull so show of force gets a heap of value over the dungeon regardless

#

you could take disrupting, if it's a cast heavy dungeon though

spring ermine
#

with unnerving focus, rage gen is so insane that i have avatar almost every pull

lusty grotto
#

scroll right to see how many revenges were cast on that pull

#

up until 51 seconds? i believe

spring ermine
#

im checking

#

yeah

#

interesting

#

i'll also create a log soon

#

maybe im also messing up something, its of course possible

dire sparrow
#

you also need a way to get ITF , so you're picking your best option there, could go with AOE silence as well

spring ermine
#

im always running disrupting shout

#

sorry forgot to mention

#

its just too strong

lusty grotto
#

i never use it

spring ermine
#

(in my personal preference)

dire sparrow
#

yes for pugs it is

spring ermine
#

exactly

#

if you are full premade its not needed

#

but for pugs its gold

crude notch
#

@warm plinth tell blizzard to fix their game.

#

I did the untradeable loot workaround again

dire sparrow
#

personally i feel like unnerving focus is a little unnecessary with how much rage you're getting from aoe in dungeons with bloodsurge, so you could drop that and see if it feels better

spring ermine
#

@lusty grotto even in that log though, in total you used revenge 78 times and tc 223 times. which means 145 of your tc are unbuffed.

lusty grotto
#

thats not my log

#

thats one of the mods

spring ermine
#

alright

#

but even so

crude notch
#

point still stands

#

hiding behind someone else's log, smdh nim

#

little chicken shi

lusty grotto
#

he had 208 show of force procs

#

in total for the entire dungeon

spring ermine
#

in that log, tc did 10 % overall damage. now only 1/3 tcs (3.33%) are buffed by 20 %. So 3.33 * 0.2 = 0.666. That is roughly how much overall damage is added there by show of force

#

(well, plus the additional damage to revenge, but thats not a lot)

lusty grotto
#

well it is a lot because BSC is a factor

#

or in play i wanted to say

spring ermine
#

sorry please disregard what i said

#

im retarded

#

he used revenge 210 times

Shattering Throw now removes an incorporeal from the field. That's nice. 3 minutes though and a cast. 😔

spring ermine
#

@crude notch in the log that was linked, he has vanguards determination buff

lusty grotto
#

i immediately hopped on a quick key with shattering after they reverted to see if it only applied to the DK thing, and shattering did absolutely nothing

spring ermine
#

perfect ty

dire sparrow
#

He's also not using Unnerving Focus

#

which is over kill in keys

spring ermine
#

why

restive scroll
#

tried it a few times

lusty grotto
#

we dont use unnerving for keys

spring ermine
#

having a ton of rage is great because you will have avatar up a lot, you will have tons of violent outbursts, you heal a ton

lusty grotto
#

for ST/raids sure

dire sparrow
#

because blood surge generates you enough rage in keys

spring ermine
#

have you tried it together with 4p?

lusty grotto
#

check the pinned builds

dire sparrow
#

you have rend on so many targets

#

yes

#

in raid it's great

#

keys it loses some value

spring ermine
#

for example you will literally have avatar at almost every pull

#

because you get so much rage

lusty grotto
#

you dont

dire sparrow
#

you're not being rage starved though without it

lusty grotto
#

cause youre overcapping

#

and youre wasting rage

spring ermine
#

im not overcapping

#

all is dumped into ip

lusty grotto
#

you literally started this whole conversation with something along those lines

dire sparrow
#

what are you taking off in your bulid then to take SOF and Disrupting shout?

spring ermine
#

yes nim, i have more rage than i need, but of course i dump it

#

well mtom thats the point, im not using sof

#

thats exactly it :D

lusty grotto
spring ermine
#

nim in the sentence after that i say i dump it

lusty grotto
#

should i underline OVERCAPPED again?

#

you said it, not me

spring ermine
#

sorry i did not express myself great, im not a native speaker

#

what i meant is i am about to be capped and then dump it

lusty grotto
#

alright

#

you do you buddy

dire sparrow
#

i mean you have 2 builds here from some of the best prot warriors in the world not taking UF in keys? If you're not finding value from it dont take it but they are

lusty grotto
#

bedge time

crude notch
#

anyone with more than 3 brain cells is able to determine what he means from that sentence.

spring ermine
#

mtom i absolutely see the value in the builds that are linked here, i think in the end it's just personal preference and i was interested in the input from the guys here

#

if anyone is experiencing similar stuff etc

dire sparrow
#

yeah that's exactly it, if you can play with or without it, dont stress about it

lusty grotto
#

i mean its pretty simple

#

Unnerving with bloodsurge and he has said again and again that he has no space to fit in revenges

#

so do you really think, he can dump enough rage with IPs alone?

spring ermine
#

*not a lot of revenges

lusty grotto
#

demo shout is another factor

#

you are 100% overcapping

spring ermine
#

ip is off gcd you can just spam it like crazy

lusty grotto
#

on this hypothetical scenario

spring ermine
#

also i have 1 point in overwhelming rage

#

i think you would be suprised if you would test that build

lusty grotto
#

no thanks

That's what's a bit sad about prot warr. Dmg and survivability is great, but so few utility compared to pala etc

dire sparrow
#

@spring ermine i would try take UF off for 1 key and see if it feels any better with SOF but you really need logs to see.

why are you taking off unstoppable force?

dire sparrow

Unnerving focus*

crude notch

ursoc's fury?

warm plinth
#

Shouldn't be running that in keys anyway

spring ermine
#

youre asking why im taking unnerving focus?

warm plinth
#

In keys, yes

spring ermine
#

well im currently testing it. the idea is due to the new 4p, you will have last stand up a lot, like 30 % of the time. so 30 % of the time you have 50 % more rage gen. you will then of course be rage capped, and then you will dump the rage with IP. this will make you spent tons of rage, which gives you more avatars, more violent outbursts, more healing by indomitable

reef haven
#

you are already focus capping a lot of times, is not it better to get the extra block and damage from brace for impact?

warm plinth
#

what are you dropping for unnerving focus?

reef haven
#

"focus capping"

spring ermine
#

im also getting brace for impact

dire sparrow

was about to say either bloodsurge or punish is being dropped

reef haven
#

why disrupting shout instead of show of force?

dire sparrow
#

i can get behind Disrupting in pugs

warm plinth
#

especially this season. There's like nothing to kick

warm plinth
#

I mean, the strength of disrupting is that it can interrupt multiple things at once. Like all the dangerous casts this season only happen one at a time

dire sparrow
#

yeah

crude notch
#

Can y'all coordinate instead of asking the man the same question 5 times?

jagged pier
#

u guys again acting like SoF is a big deal

#

its really not that much damage

reef haven
#

you have aoe stun, st stun, interrupt, spell reflect and an aoe taunt already, disrupting seems eh

warm plinth
#

I mean it's not a big deal. But why would I take no damage vs some damage when I'm not actually getting value out of the no damage option.

spring ermine
#

check out this link. blood surge gives 1600 rage, and the guy had a total of 16000 rage, that means blood surge gives 10 % rage. unnerving focus however on average gives about 15 %

#

or even more

#

because for 30 % of the time you have 50 % more rage

#

or for even more than 30 %

#

depends how many SS you get

jagged pier
#

brah how long are you keys if your in LS for 30% of the time

dire sparrow
#

you're trading rng for consistency

spring ermine
#

its not rng

warm plinth
#

I'm really confused how you're getting 30% uptime on Last Stand.

jagged pier
#

your in LS about 20% of the time

reef haven
#

and what happens in the moments where you don't have last stand? your focus gen will be stumped

jagged pier
#

if that

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's more like 15-20%

spring ermine
#

last stand lasts 15 seconds. the cd of last stand is 2 min. that already makes last stand be up 12.5 %.

#

without ever using shield slam

#

each SS reduces the cd by 4 seconds during last stand

#

and out of it by 2

#

i easily get 5-6 SS during avatar

reef haven
#

from the log you linked,

spring ermine
#

that already is 24 seconds off the cd

this was my 20 BH last night

spring ermine
#

how long do you use SS in 2 minutes

#

tell me

#

what do you think

#

each of these SS reduces the cd by 2 or even 4 seconds

warm plinth
#

But you have to realize that in order for you to have 30% uptime, you'd need Last Stand to have a 50 second cooldown

reef haven
#

let me check the top logs in warcraft logs for the big boys uptime

warm plinth
#

Yes but you're not using SS for 2 minutes in between LS.

crude notch
#

i just said sense's numbers

jagged pier
warm plinth
#

Because each SS reduces the cooldown.

crude notch
#

but no one wants to listen to me

jagged pier
#

he doesnt play correctly

#

look at sense if anyone

#

and we already know his uptime

#

someone just said

spring ermine
#

@warm plinth wait youre not using SS in between LS?

crude notch
#

17% in uldaman 22.
17% in VP 22.
14% in NL 22.

For Sense.

warm plinth
#

YOu are, but I'm saying you aren't using SS for 2 minutes in between SS

#

er, in between LS

#

Because every SS you do lowers the cooldown

spring ermine
#

i dont get it :D

#

sorry what do you mean

warm plinth
#

LS is 2 min CD right?

#

Before tier reduction

reef haven
#

I'm gonna look at some chinese for cracked mechanical players @jagged pier

spring ermine
#

yes

#

ah ok i get it

warm plinth
#

So it is impossible for you to press Shield Slams for 2 minutes from the cast of one LS to the cast of the next.

spring ermine
#

i get what you mean

crude notch
#

So then you're not actually gonna look at top warrior logs

spring ermine
#

yes

#

ok how often do you estimate you use SS during avatar

#

on average

#

with average procs

warm plinth
#

here's the thing

reef haven
#

all leaderboard Sadge

warm plinth
#

You're doing math that you don't have to do

#

You can just look at logs and see their LS uptime

jagged pier
#

your doing math that makes no sense

#

because that not how it is in the game

warm plinth
#

You can calculate all day, but there's no shot you get Last Stand down to a 50 second cooldown in 50 seconds.

#

You'd have to reduce its CD by 70 seconds in 50 seconds.

spring ermine
#

all good guys, i will make some logs and check :D

reef haven
#

#

We've already linked his numbers

#

in here

#

multiple times

#

at length

#

The work as already been done

#

You're just feeding into this man's unnecessary and pointless math.

#

That's obviously wrong

spring ermine
#

guys let me clarify, im not saying im right and you're wrong, im just discussing possibilities. and you are right, bloodsurge being more consistent is also great, and the rage it generates comes close.

reef haven
#

calm down dude lmao, I was looking myself when you typed your message and already had to scroll to see it

spring ermine
#

because of course LS is not always used as soon as its up

spring ermine
#

for example if there are only 2 mobs left you dont use LS

#

lets close that topic until logs are generated

warm plinth
#

Like let's say you cast 20 SS per minute (which is honestly very very generous in keys) and have a 1 second GCD. That means you're casting approximately 5 of those during Last Stand so that's 20 seconds. The other 15 are 2 seconds each at 30 seconds. That's a 50 second reduction. Which still puts the CD of LS at 1:00-1:10. Which is still not short enough to get your 30% uptime.

#

And that's like...as good as it gets and an outlier, not the average key

crude notch
warm plinth
#

And ofc you also have downtime in the key where you can't reduce the CD because you're going to the next pack or have to move away from a boss for a mechanic, or whatever.

crude notch
#

Nome's best in logs was 19% uptime.

spring ermine
#

@warm plinth well that would be 25 % uptime, which to be honest would still make unnerving focus better than blood surge

warm plinth
#

Which again is basically an unrealistic scenario and not at all the norm (as proven by the only 2 logs in here that even had 20+)

dire sparrow
#

you're still trading consistency

warm plinth
#

and neither had 25

dire sparrow
#

vs rng on SS resetting

spring ermine
#

mtom yes, which is why im actually considering using blood surge instead

#

but its interesting to discuss it

crude notch
#

Is it interesting to discuss bad math?

spring ermine
#

please, as i said, it is pointless to discuss it without logs

#

i will generate them and then we can see

warm plinth
#

I look forward to it

spring ermine
#

youre right, estimating this doesnt lead anywhere

warm plinth
#

Please ping me once you get them together

spring ermine
#

and again im not saying im right :D actually i will probably play blood surge

reef haven
#

am I the only one that presses last stand even if not it combat so I can have Earthen Smash sooner in the next pull?

#

and is that dumb?

spring ermine
#

after im done testing that is

#

zodiac i wouldnt do that

#

i press it exactly at pull

#

you want to get the 4 seconds reduced cooldown by SS

#

and the 30 % increased SS dmg

crude notch
#

How do you plan on pressing 35 SS per minute?

spring ermine
#

can we stop discussing that point :D

mangle 8 yds

#

#

because i can change my range on mangle to 6

#

all those keys bricked because 1 mob being out of range killed a dps

Does intervene + spell reflect work on the 3rd uldaman boss dot??

willow lark
#

based on the pinned list in the #268491842637660160 , does that mean that ilvl upgrade is more valuable for prot than keeping 4 piece from previous season?

thanks for reporting man

Is there a weak aura to help with what you can reflect ? Or pretty much memorise the google doc in pins ?

#

The lariat is valuable or we prefere the 2 shadowflame embellishments?

Yeah if you ever need a spec to compare ranges with Bear has spells that are 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 25, 26, 28, 40, 41, and 43 yds. 🙂

that one is great ty!

#

any other awesome weak auras?

brittle veldt
#

Nice for raid if you want more in-depth info than what dbm typically includes

spring ermine

great ty

There’s more updated versions so get those ones they’re just the ones I have off hand as not at pc

hey guys, quick question, how do I live ticks in underrot? Had no problems on my BDK but struggling with my warri there

Anytime my guildies retri rips aggro from me now I'm blaming it on the two missing yards from TC. 😂

ruby steppe
#

is there a cd which is especially usefull for them?

oblique kayak
#

nope

#

they literally just shred you

hallow phoenix
#

Ticks are mean

sleek current
#

They shouldn't be killing you. I'd be more concerned about the party dying. 😂

I charge after the boss twice which puts me in place to stand on the ones that are far away then heroic leap back if that helps.

ruby steppe
#

okay ty, at least good to know it is not really my fault if i die to them

I know people didn't like that I'm saying that I go in the shadow realm on Sakareth hc, but I have to say, that's very confortable.
Particularly for pugs.
I don't see a dispel, nor do I take damage for that duration.
And wayyy safer transi p2/p3 too
If someone else wants to try

#

Are people not going in the in-between with the tank dot? Just seems like unnecessary damage to the raid and you don't get all that tasty haste. I don't see why you wouldn't go in.

Guys, is there a reason to not macro Avatar with Thunderous Roar or is it ok to do it?

I'm trying to explain that there are reasons to do so :/

Question people, is there an official world of warcraft discord server? i randomly got to this discord server

sleek current
#

I think it ultimately comes down to whether or not those 10 seconds or so in the in-between will equate to more DPS in the long run.

worn nest
#

if so could anyone send me a link to it

sleek current
#

I don't think it's official.

#

No idea though.

The hotfix has been reverted because DK was broken.

#

Prot warriors can handle them fine?

#

Not entirely alone but that change is just for dps specs

marble cipher
#

I stare at them while yelling on voice: dickheads are up, handle them

sleek current
#

Very inefficiently compared to other classes.

#

Shockwave doesn't even work on them because it counts as AoE.

brittle veldt
#

I usually stormbolt them instantly and if one of the team dies just fear and then you’ve charge up

sleek current
#

Personally, I ignore them and just take druids, priests and warlocks.

brittle veldt
#

Yeah I stormbolt cause it’s easy fear and charge are for emergency

marble cipher
#

I have evoker, priest, lock and retri in my team. So we're fine. But it's just crap seeing a title going "warriors can handle them now" and then see it's a 3min cd keks

crude notch
#

Whine more buddy

#

((for legal purposes, this is a joke like me))

brittle veldt
#

Since AoE fear works when targeting I wonder if shockwave works too? Haven’t needed to try but could come in clutch

marble cipher
#

Thanks for the clarification. Cause I didn't mean to come over whining lol

#

Shockwave doesn't

brittle veldt
#

While targeting the incorp?

marble cipher
#

As it works without a target. Fear is a target shout

brittle veldt
#

Ah makes sense

#

Fear is targetted AoE is just a bonus

marble cipher
#

Yeah, even with targetting, for the game, shockwave is still a non targeted aoe

#

Fear is a targeted ability that has a secondary effect on the mobs around your target

brittle veldt
#

Yeah makes sense

marble cipher
#

Clutch stormbolt into a fear and shield charge if needed. That works, if you have cc'ers dead at the moment. So yeah, I'm fine with what we can do to them.
But hey, I wouldn't say no to an actual 20s cc okayge

Any tips for the mammoth in neltharus? Seems to cause a lot of problems in pugs, feel like it’s getting lava buffed too often but it spawns that shit at its feet and then when trying to move it away it just stops in lava and aoe nukes the group

marble cipher
#

Lust, nuke, bait well, move him
Nothing more you can do.
Sometimes it will just not move, nobodies fault, just heavy dmg to heal through then

#

Ideally you'll have people bait puddles near old puddles, and then move to bait charge. But good luck in pugs with that

brittle veldt
#

It’s annoying that it’s the first boss, people aren’t committed to the run but good to know there’s not much else I can do

marble cipher
#

Only thing you can do on that fight as a tank, is make sure you move him from or through puddles as much as you can. And maybe position him nearish the walls so dps know you want to bait the charge at those walls

brittle veldt
#

Yeah that’s what I’m doing just keeps wiping the pug groups had 3 bricked keys the other day because we couldn’t get passed him

#

Forgestorm in the vault may be the only hope

cerulean tusk
#

With pugs it is better to let it charge quite a distance, allows people to react and dodge easier. Then, you basically pray that they handle the spray damage with their CDs

Hmm, man the annulet ring still does so much damage - do i replace it with a 441 ?

granite pond
jagged pier
#

thats up to u

#

basically it will be more damage

#

but your loosing stats

#

so its your choice

#

personally i probably wont ever replace it

#

or is it sims within like 1000 dps i might consider it

#

i dropped eggnogg ring for that reason

#

new ring was 700 dps less but more favourable stats but 20ilvls so worth imo

strong forum
#

For me right now, the ring is equal to a 437 socketed crit haste ring on 7 targets

#

Annulet is a 2k gain on 5 targets
