I’ve hit 300k on prot warr some pulls

sick sentinel
#

sometimes i like to look at the graph

cinder monolith
#

4 set go brr

crude notch
#

Feels particularly weird to have gotten a enchanted wyrm from sark quest but like, i already had no need for it.

sick sentinel
#

extended graph i pulled it up on outplayed

#

the rest of the key was extremely boring and the spriest only did this once, so thus i cropped it

cinder storm
#

Based yogi

dusty monolith
#

how does one even view those graphs in details?

crude notch
#

wait that's bromach

#

with the damage amp

sick sentinel
#

once the dungeon completes, you get a one time option to view it far as i know

dusty monolith
#

thats the trash after bromach i think

crude notch
#

yogi when was this

#

((inb4, idk.))

sick sentinel
#

yesterday

im still not doing 20s for some reason, or even 15's i could have last night

goddamnit

#

when was the peak

#

not when was the dungeon

cinder monolith
#

MoP I’d say was the peak

crude notch
#

that's cringe

sick sentinel
#

im not entirely sure when the peak was

cuz what im pulling at 5:50 is a custodian pack

i hope you were sarcastic

Hero Gear in Vault when run +8 are insane!

#

yea being at 440+ in 2-3 weeks in what looks to be a 5-6 months season is too quick

for casuals the gearing speed is alright

What keybinds do y’all use for ignore pain, shield block , shield wall , a avatar , demo shout and last stand ? I am trying to get away from being a clicker on those spells

What I did is, I put my main spells 1-X, like revenge, SS, SB, my utility and oh shit buttons on ctrl+# and the rest on shift+#

Be a normal person and put your main buttons on 1-5 and shift 1-5

Are you discrediting the value of my button!?

Instead of banner

i actually enjoyed banner

dusky canopy

Bro banner was sic

thorny stone

and reprisal

dusky canopy
#

I’m on that side of the fence too

#

And then you lost me

#

Reprisal gameplay is “turbo swamp ass”

thorny stone

it was fun to min max on raid

crude notch
#

no

dusky canopy

Literal trash

reprisal is the reason i didn't play pwar at all

Hated using intervene and charge to get block uptime

How awful

How do you like boring ass bargain bin breath of sindragosa more than spear

dusky canopy
#

Breath is ass too yeah

daring marlin
#

At least breath looks cool

sick sentinel
#

the chat gpt i made the otherday the bot is throwing shade at my mans ability to hold aggro

dusky canopy
#

Imagine 90% of your damage being reliant on you maintaining your big cd

#

And if theres no target to hit for like 5 seconds you lose all your damage

#

Big cringe

sick sentinel
#

"trusting the warrior's ability to maintain aggro and keep them safe" oof

And warrior is the most difficult to play at thst level

#

News flash people, you are way cooler if you achieve greatness on a NON FOTM spec

dusky canopy
#

Probably just left over from season 1

tropic gorge
#

I didn't care for pwar getting fotm status in s1. We had tons of rerollers and such

dusky canopy
#

Yeah imo, you don’t want to be the Fotm specs

tropic gorge
#

Lots of shit comes with fotm status. I'm glad we don't have it anymore.

#

Just my opinion obv.

How are there more bears than warriors

tropic gorge

Bears were giga op for most of this games life starting in wotlk

Bear is good

That's m+, not raiding, what happened lmao

dusky canopy
#

Oh no they’re good in raid too

#

Highest ST

crude notch
#

There's more bears because there seems to be some weird NA competition amongst bears

That’s a them problem nome

Bear was strong for one of the SL seasons right? I didn't play that expac

crude notch
#

Bears have been "giga op" one season in M+ history

dusky canopy
#

Yeah season 2 bear was popular

crude notch
#

and in that season

strong forum
#

bear was strong in s1 and then popular in s2

crude notch
#

prot pally ended up highest io

strong forum
#

but legit every tank was strong in s2 SL

#

evey single one

dusky canopy
#

Mdi had a triple shard pull highlighted and only bear could do it

hardy snow
#

it was strong in S2 thanks to weapon fiting well incarn

dusky canopy
#

So it made it popular

hardy snow
#

but still it wasnt #1

crude notch
#

here have another chart made by yours truly

sinful harbor
#

so what youre saying is I should brush the dust off my glowing neon bear

crude notch
#

no

#

don't do that

dusky canopy
#

No I would play warrior

#

Since you’re suggesting otherwise

crude notch
#

don't play bear

dusky canopy

There’s no denying it’s going to be good though

# wary spire Name a few common mistakes

Underusing of shieldslam
Overusing of thunderclap
Getting hit in the back
Not using outburst primarily on shield slam
Playing sub-optimal talenbuilds
Not using impending victory often enough
Not sending SW despite it being a very short CD
Not using spell reflect often enough as raw magic mitigation

#

Those are the most common mistakes

uneven mason
#

Focusing on IP too much

dusky canopy
#

You can pretty much use Spell reflect for this DR in every single pull

#

Even if it’s not reflecting something

#

That’s actually a good example nome nice

still need to find something to replace my all-totem with though 😦

That’s so op

so they just scrapped it

and went back to vacation

# dusky canopy DK was op though

this is the convo they had "Damn, Warriors and DKs need something.... lets try this" "Wow Fred thats cool.... oh shit! the DK one is busted! How do we fix it?" "Well I have a flight to catch in 20.... lets just scrap this and deal with it later!"

Most likely the case too lol

"what about warriors?" "What about them?"

wary spire

What about them? All they do is go ungabunga and thats it

I don't agree with dragons having lust

I think they should have gotten a bres instead

I believe too many classes have lust now

too many have brez heck em

I didn't even agree with hunters getting lust. But it is what it is I guees

crude notch
#

What about mages?

#

Should only shamans have lust?

tropic gorge
#

It fits with mages

#

I guess hunters was fine. I disagreed with it at the start.
But dragons having it too is too many imo

modern brook
#

hunters should get their brez back tbh

tropic gorge
#

Hunters should be deleted from the game

modern brook
#

they already are with how they play

uneven mason
tropic gorge
#

Hunter is by far the easiest class with the lowest bar of entry.
It's fine for total noobies and first timers. But I don't like hunters

crude notch
#

what does easiest mean?

#

Easiest to obtain optimal dps?

#

Because I've seen some dogwater hunters

#

But I've also seen some dogwater everything so

tropic gorge
#

Thst the class is easy. Wjth minimal effort and knowledge a basic ass hunter can go far in the game. Where as other classes actually have to know things

For max dps stonks should i go Vp trinket + raid anchor or any of those together with the chromatic essence warriorbrain

in pugs, I can actually see a loh on an afflicted actually occurring

like I said, in a shit is going down situation

like, why not LOH the afflicted if you think about it

because loh has 7 minutes cd and afflicted can spawn every 30s

its very overkill

why not? because I could just toss a free wog or dispel it

and not using a long ass CD on something like that

# crude notch there's nothing wrong with rolling to fotm

you're right, but, the problem is that many players play fotm to make up for poor play, when they'd be better off just sticking to something and becoming proficient with it. Obviously top top level players often "fotm" because they can swap and still play well
