@strong forum do you know how sims use burgeoning seed by chance? On CD or?

#

Not a bad option, though we recommend haste/crit over haste/vers generally.

#

425 on a 21 hurts, crests need to come faster on alts 😦

crude notch
#

Or you need to stop being a lil bish

urban portal
#

is it time

#

for defensive stance

#

defensive stance only makes the damage drop by 1 key level

#

so you still gotta play well

#

lowkey i might just sit defensive stance to help out healer

#

so they can deal with these pesty ghosts

Is it worth to use a spark for 447 shield if i have a 441 crit/mast shield atm? Not aiming for world highest keys. Only pugging in the range of 20-22 every season.

#

shield ilvl is the single most valuable ilvl slot you can get for prot warrior

ionic fern
#

That's why i'm 435 equipped and rocking a 421 shield.

intentional handicap? lol

ionic fern
#

Doing only 20's so .. 🤷

#

@warm plinth First run and I got a Forge storm on just tryin to get it. Why crit / haste and not with verse? I have read about verse everywhere

#

I am trying to put my best foot forward'

cinder nova
#

Mwahi how the fuck do I survive M Experiments

crude notch
#

By keeping your HP above 0

jagged pier
#

u use auto attack slows

#

and the boss damage is kinda easy

cinder nova
#

What are they?

warm plinth
#

Curse of Exhaustion, Numbing Poison

marble cipher
#

lock curse, rogue poison

ionic fern
#

We diddn't use those AA slows (though should have).

warm plinth
#

Theoretically if you have more than one rogue, one of them should've been using numbing anyway though. No reason to double up on atrophic

jagged pier
#

insidious chill as well

marble cipher
#

does curse + poison stack, or both do the same thing?

jagged pier
#

all 3 stack

cinder nova
#

They stack?

marble cipher
#

kk

ionic fern
#

Oh, and don't tank the 3rd boss when 2 of them are down. Tank the fat boy.

#

He melees less.

jagged pier
#

well they dont stack stack otherwise if u have 2 rogues u could stop the boss meleeing

timber terrace
jagged pier
#

but they all do reduce the aa speed of the boss

#

like diminishing returns

#

not sure how it works

#

but just know all 3 work together

marble cipher
#

just keep it at: it's worth to have more than one of them on boss

cinder nova
#

What class does chill?

#

And can any rogue use numb?

marble cipher
#

Frost DK, I think

jagged pier
#

all dks

#

all rogues

#

all locks

crude notch
jagged pier
#

well yer we had a debate because i said they all stack

timber terrace
#

I'm only half memeing btw prot warrior has literally nothing to do with that boss you're prolly better off using an alt for it or having an offspec tank it

jagged pier
#

meaning they all effect the boss

#

in someway

#

but ppl thought i ment like legit the boss is gunna nearly stop meleeing

#

but we went to the logs

#

and found they all do slow

#

the boss really isnt that bad with AA slows

#

like barely ever went over 4 stacks

ionic fern
#

We were rocking 9

#

Cause why not.

jagged pier
#

and that at that point is on the healers to actually be healing u

ionic fern
#

AA slows too hard.

jagged pier
#

which they werent doing

#

so we kept dying anyway

ionic fern
jagged pier
#

so stance dance

#

and clear the moment the debuff for the raid drops off

#

thats what we were doing and it was generally fine

#

but also we have no rashok trinkets

#

i think 2 beacons

#

like 2 backs

#

1 ashkandi

#

we have not been lucky with loot

ionic fern
#

I honestly despise that boss.

#

But i like Rashok.

jagged pier
#

i dont mind it we figured it out for tank at least on monday up to the healers and dps to figure out the rest

#

generally its okay with AA slows

ionic fern
#

And running around in last phase.

jagged pier
#

and i think that will be the same with zaskarn

ionic fern
#

Cause orbs go through people randomly from time to time.

jagged pier
#

yer we seen that

#

but its not a big deal like most of the top guild had 1 or sometimes 2 go in on first kills

ionic fern
#

More like frustrating.

jagged pier
#

yes true

Hi folks, I want to start a petition to add a bleed dispell to the war, a "bandage". It's RP and we need it. Who's in ?

marble cipher
#

this sounds a bit ... strong, for keys, or I'm just reading it all wrong maybe?

proper roost
#

well it's 411

amber siren
#

the only RP I'm interested in is pretending I'm good at prot warrior okayge

proper roost
#

the actual busted one off WQ ilvl is drogbar rocks

#

at the key level you'll be doing with that gear, you don't need a defensive trinket

#

everything will literally die in <10s without doing any damage to you

marble cipher
#

did you just assume the keylevel I'm doing? 😛

proper roost
#

No, I already know

marble cipher
#

which is?

proper roost
#

You have a 411 defensive trinket and you think it's good

marble cipher
#

So, what keylevels am I doing, enlighten me

proper roost
#

Just do your keys, you literally won't even break IPs unless you're playing very poorly

strong forum
marble cipher
#

I just picked that trinket up from world quest, upgraded it cause it's free, and thought "hey, this sounds a bit strong for such a trinket".
But then you assume I'm doing like what, 11-14 keys @proper roost
Do say how you come to that conclusion

#

A real answer is Nome's one, thanks for that

proper roost
#

Generally recommend that if you're actually interested in climbing as a tank not having an ego helps too

marble cipher
#

right back at you

anyone want to tank a +19

No

That'd be wild af

#

And majorly useless

hardy snow
#

well, tooltip says "its damage done by 20%", not "damage done to you by 20%"

strong forum
#

Cuz when are mobs in the first 8 seconds of combat doing group dmg

hardy snow
#

but its still only 8s

#

so its shit

#

this debuff would need like 2x duration to even consider it

strong forum
#

Maybe for vdh or bdk

#

Not Rly for us

#

i got the anvil yesterday for "2nd specc" i tested it as prot and it really does good dmg. i got the mark of dragrul and the beacon. maybe the anvil is better for a ST boss and the mark for m+?

strong forum
#

If you can maintain 5 stacks of anvil in m+, it's way better than margrul

#

Hey, anyone else feeling weaker this season?

strong forum
#

Nop

strong forum
#

We're arguably stronger this season than last

#

Cuz 6/8 dungeons are almost exclusively melee dmg

#

Maybe my healers have become lazy :p

strong forum
#

I've not received a consistent direct heal in my keys yet

#

Outside of the occasional hot

#

And in Neltharus, thats where you need healing on a few mobs

clear sorrel
#

I do mostly raids

strong forum
#

Same story outside of experiments and zskarn

dry spear
#

the first boss i did with "healing" problems was experiment.

jagged pier
#

i mean theres no horrible boss outside of zskarn imo

strong forum
#

Those 2 bosses are where you need healing

#

But on everyone else my healers don't even touch me

sick sentinel
#

Best craft ?

dry spear
#

it becoms hard to handle at 6 stacks imo

What about agro, I feel I am losing it quicker this season too

#

we killed it yesterday on mythic and i died twice

strong forum
#

Im stealing aggro from my cotank

jagged pier
#

same

#

and he has bomb and beacon now

strong forum
#

So he has to sometimes pre-taunt the mechanic

jagged pier
#

and i still get aggro

strong forum

So I don't get it twice

lilac bloom
#

i've got an issue with zkarn heroic.. everytime there's this fiery floor its the unstable ambers right? they hurt us tanks alot.. so we just block on that and move out asap ?

jagged pier
#

i mean u can see the traps activate before they actually activate

lilac bloom
#

and does shield block with ignore pain will mitigate damage for 2 of bombs or do we just use shield wall for that

#

so.. as soon as we see the traps.. we just run away

#

dont be in it?

jagged pier
#

yer they spout fire for like 2 seconds before they activate

#

and umm bombs well block wont do anything to mitigate that damage

#

if anything your immunity classes should just be dealing with them

lilac bloom
#

i see.. but for us.. if we have to.. we have to use our shield wall.. most of the pug group have asked us tanks to just run trhough those bombs all 3 of them.. i know when i down this i only get one

#

and while we are running.. plus the fire patch we end up getting hit alot from the fire damage on the floor.. so i dont know.. i pop cds and healing pots etc

jagged pier
#

i mean all that damage is avoidable u shouldnt be running into it

#

so wasting cds on that is kinda dumb

#

and bombs u should only take 1 at a time if u have too

#

and u dont need defensives for 1

old sinew
#

I wonder if keys are scary enough for us to want to use the new cheat death trinket from the mega-dungeon. 8 minute cd, reverts fatal dam and heals you up to around 200k, then gives 20% Dr and 2500 haste for 12 seconds after the proc. Looking like on hard mode it drops at 428 which should be upgradable to 441 (not using upgrade track on the ptr tho)

lilac bloom
#

ok

#

no idea how i get such a huge damage from that

old sinew
#

In SL we only used cheat death when most of the trinket sucked, not sure the trinkets this season are bad (they don’t seem to be) 🤷‍♂️

jagged pier
#

cheat death trinkets are always not needed

old sinew
#

8 minute is also like ten thousand years lol. I think alar was six minutes

strong forum
#

and reset on actual death

#

but also s1 SL keys were vastly different

#

rn tank dmg doesnt really exist

#

when in SL s1 tanks had to kite

#

there are no scary bosses for tanks this season

#

hardly any scary tank busters besides in neltharus and uldaman

You're a scary boss for tanks

'but if this and that and this happen all at the same time'

i need it

#

same as the guy saying u needed 25% vers to tank 20s at the start of last season when i had like 10 and was doing them

warm plinth
#

I think we settled on 13.63%

#

that's the exact number you need to push keys

jagged pier

#

If you have even .01% more or less, you're fucked

#

true story

lilac bloom
#

so.. this group i'm with we going 3 tank this boss.. hopefuly 1 does the runaround.. collecting bombs

jagged pier
#

yer thats fine for askarn as well

strong forum
#

pretty common for zskarn

#

cuz that boss is just that cringe

lilac bloom
#

damn just watch a warrior died while doing bombs

#

thats what happend to me 2

strong forum
#

just take 1 at a time

#

dont have to take all 3 instantly

#

you have like 20 seconds to eat the bombs

weird thing is.. even after the debuff drops then walk to another.. damage hurst 2nd and 3rd time

why does it hurt so much

how bad can it be to put shadowflame patch into the shield? I mean, sure, I can now recraft it and put patch into the crafted boots and food buff into the crafted shield, but does it even matter?

it doesnt matter

Freehold being 85% melee damage is still so funny to me.

thats 6/8 of the dungeons

I would like to ask you guys how you make sure to follow the right route/do the right pulls in M+? Is there a possibility to visualize the route/pulls? My MDT Map closes after getting into combat and does not show again until I open and reload it on my own

I take a screenshot of my routes and put them on the second monitor while I am learning them. (Yes, I know, not everyone has a second monitor). Just what I did

You can also prnt screen on another monitor.
Or print it out on a piece of paper if you really old-school.

sims are done on hundreds or thousands of pulls, single checks cant be compared due to lots of random procs dmg (embelishments, forgestorm, SS procs etc.)

Not sure what the WA does exactly but wouldn't hekili do the same with higher precision/less manual effort?

tired girder
#

There is an addon called MTD guide that puts the MTD addon on a small windows where you wanted and automatically zoom to the pack you are doing based on the %.
You don't need extra monitors for that 😁

sick sentinel
#

the way i do that shit is, i memorize how many monsters in each pull im supposed to be doing unless its like the huge group

#

so like i might have to pull 10 i think it is at start of frewhold then its 4 to the side and then a group of like 6

#

so on smaller pull sizes its just oh im pulling in order pack sizes 3 4 4 3 7

Which side do you take on HOI at the start? My pug groups usually have problem killing the 3 orb in 20+ but I feel the skip could save the key later if some bad thing happens

out of curiosity what sim settings do you guys use from M+, yesterday I learnt that dslice is super misleading, was thinking maybe hectic add cleave is a better bet, but how many bosses would make most sense?

and u can only use the rogue one if yu have 2 rogues

as they have a raid wide one thats more important

waxen frigate

Yes atrophic

#

That’s what our rogue ran

sick sentinel
#

he has to give up his non-lethal posion to apply that

so, its like 3% lower dps, AND,. he has to get in melee range just to use it

oh no 3% so your healers and tanks have a far easier time

I've been getting absolutely trucked on H Echo in P2. I get being knocked out of my body and breaking the walls. But then I'm getting one shot by melee. Is that just a bad tank swap or is there something else I'm missing?

well your co-tank needs to taunt

when u take a tank mechanic

like in p1

Yeah. I think that's what's happening. It just seems so sudden to go from 100 to 0.

surreal birch
urban bane
#

there is some overlap too, iirc. at least in p3. like the cotank gets punted and if you've already been punted you gotta wait or have some distance for debuff to fall and safely have him hit you again

sick sentinel
#

maybe wound poison is a lethal and you lose out of instant/deadly poison

sick sentinel
#

ya so thats the entire reason you never use wound poison, you have instant lol

It just seemed weird because the fight isn't too different from normal.

And we do that no problem

I'll pay attention next raid night and see what happens.

to expand (sorry work): in no universe is any war, dps or otherwise going to sit a 1.5s cast time to break a shield just so it can get poly'd on the travel time over.

I’ve given 4 hours to H sark pugging so far this week. It’s getting real old dying in p3 to people tunneling and not doing the freaking bombs or adds getting kicks off

I don’t get it

daring marlin
#

Funny enough, the group I was in last night wiped at 3% because one of the tanks straight up forgot to go down.

#

It was made funnier by the fact the leader was being paid by someone to get carried to AOTC.

dusky canopy
#

Ooofff that’s a rough one sub 10% wipes are the worst
Had kick ass healing last night all 4 doing 100k+ in a 19 man

#

But you can’t heal bombs going off

#

Or tank not going down

daring marlin
#

The lead is one of the most toxic MFers on the planet and hard rages at pugs in VC too. Even better is his friends are why we wiped every time.

So if you ever see Rikfuu in party finder, avoid at all costs!

Sounds like free entertainment for a pull or two

Maybe just intentionally cleave as many people as you can in p3 on the first pull then leave

It was quite entertaining.

hey guys. i havent used any sparks yet; would you still prio to upgrade shield first? i have HC raid shield

The only way you can get a higher shield is by mythic raiding or a lucky weekly vault open as Prot

Honestly just get a different neck and craft Bracers or something with Shadowflame

Perfectly fine

They’re like 200 dps different in bis gear

thanks; i got aspects enough to make shield now, will do belt and then probably bracers or boots when ive farmed more aspects..

dusky canopy
#

That works yup

crude notch
#

I already am wearing ffb from season one so I probably just extend that and then put shadow on something else that isn't shield in case I want to ret and then spend my third spark on a shield

untold adder
#

RET?

dusky canopy
#

I’m actually curious

#

Can shadowflame go onto neck?

#

No right because it’s jewelry and not armor?

crude notch
#

Correct it's an armor patch

#

So needs to go on armor

#

Silly goose

dusky canopy
#

Figured so I’ll just do flavor pocket on my neck

#

The silliest

crude notch
#

Yeah I did flavor pocket on ring on my Bear.

daring marlin

I just wanted a crumb of toer from raid

crude notch

Since that ring will only be used for keys since it outsims Annulet in AoE

People foaming at the mouth over paladin utility

And actually doesn't portray differences in tanks at all

nimble sluice

For M+, would you run a 424 onyx and 421 durna (with belt) over 441 haste + mast/crit/vers rings?

quiet minnow
#

also blizzard created 2 affixes that paladins deal with better than anyone else

#

and warriors cant deal with at all

crude notch
#

If you remove utility from the picture all tanks are pretty even.

dusky canopy
#

Paladin is not miles ahead like everyone thinks they just have more useful utility

#

It’s pretty much unmatched

crude notch
quiet minnow
#

is that not the most important thing ?

crude notch
#

Monk deals with incorporeal better than Pally

daring marlin
#

They always have that utility. They're just finally not made of Raditz.

dusky canopy
#

Right I agree

quiet minnow
#

im not a prot doomer, i still like it and obviously you can tank any key with any tank, but if you're just a pug tank with no class loyalty, is there a legitimate reason to pick anything other than prot pala rn?

crude notch
#

Ironically people are losing their minds about this support spec coming out when Prot Pally has been the pinnacle support all this time.

dusky canopy
#

People only recognize the utility because the tank is finally not paper

left trout
#

Pally has 2 cc if required for the incorp they are better than most classes

dusky canopy

That's like saying Bear has two ccs for it as well

You're not taking turn evil AND repentance

There's actual people that think Spellwarding is new

The only new thing in PPal kit is sentinel.

quiet minnow
#

Ok but it’s not just meta slaves lol like 3/4 of s1 titles went to prot pala

chilly brook
#

Honestly can’t wait for bear to become meta, and then you’ll see some wild bear main who does a bunch of off meta utility shit like popping out of bear form during specific segments of a fight or while kiting to help heal and all of a sudden people will rave about bears ability to do weird things

crude notch

Which is broken AF, but

chilly brook

Which has existed since bfa

Yeah utility mostly doesn’t decide meta, it’s classes damage

Nah it’s cause it’s legit better lol

Yo gang, what would you spend sparks on if you were to only play m+, mostly prot but sometimes dps?

crude notch
dusky canopy

It’s like what’s the least amount of utility we can get away with so we can optimize damage

Always is

quiet minnow

I’d bet it’s still pala

If pal utility enables stronger dps

Then yes

one of the most frustrating things about pugging keys to me of all is

I did enjoy it back then, for some reason I find it painfully boring now and last xpac tho

sick sentinel

the healers fucking mana

Am I wrong to think that revenging as a rage dump kinda feels bad? I find myself over using ignore pain so I can use my gcd for Tclap or SS

quiet minnow
dusky canopy
#

It’s a feel thing chaser

crude notch
#

Like Pally is going to be majority played because people have already geared it. I would not be surprised though if VDH's damage makes it do keys that others cannot in the end.

sick sentinel

healer mana bar and party hp can be ANYWHERE and healer is bitching im not pullling enough or they need more mana

Revenge is a good button just use it

tropic marsh

And also, is sidearm that much better than barbaric if you have to rage dump with revenge anyways? Idk

No they're alternating MDI and TGP this year. S1 is MDI, S2 is TGP.

if you change that with BT, using revenge less, you have less SS resets

They did both in one season in SL because seasons were 8 months long

But we're cooking out seasons in DF.

Don’t remind me
