toxic pewter
#

sometimes if I lose aggro at start of pull and I dont have any major hard hitting buttons up to press, I jus throw out like 3 revenges in a row

#

may not be ideal or correct

sonic tangle
#

I yoinked the anvil trinket last night from heroic making our DPS madge peepoBlush

toxic pewter
#

but sometimes it can help me

ripe seal
#

Any reason as to not craft a 447 neck? Already got 2x embellishments with shield and belt

left basalt
toxic pewter
ripe seal
#

Just heard from random people that "crafting neck is kinda int"

toxic pewter
#

I mean gl finding a better neck this season

ripe seal
#

But it's like the biggest Ilvl upgrade i can get so far + i need the embellishment so

toxic pewter
#

all them have weird stats

#

Far from int imo

#

actually smart

ripe seal
#

Only neck i can really see is worth instead is the one from VP

strong forum
#

why would neck be inting

daring marlin
#

Spicy chat today

crude notch
#

yeah why

strong forum
#

there is only 1 big haste neck

#

and its with mastery

#

every other neck in the game is low haste

crude notch
#

Guilford, where were you!

quiet minnow
#

st or aoe? like m+ or raid?

ripe seal
#

Yeah i wasn't quite sure why people were saying it was int, just wanted to make sure so i don't waste the spark

quiet minnow
#

if you have issues with doing good dps all the time, you can make sure at least that you have some rage before you taunt to send like a S

#

SS/SC/Demo into boss

#

big threat bonus from taunt and a couple big dam abilities should ensure you keep threat for a while

daring marlin
dusk wadi
prisma crane
#

new tier wont change aoe threat until well into a pull anyways

#

you just mostly want to hit your buttons as often as you can, dont hold CDs

ripe seal
#

Are there any stat DRs? Like if you reach 35% haste gives you less and less

prisma crane
#

ss whenever it's up, tc/revenge in between

dusk wadi
#

Yeah I dont really, my struggle is at the beginning of the pull mainly

prisma crane
#

there are but nothing worth worrying about, especially this season where high haste gear isnt as common

#

esp if you have our two best rings which dont have haste at all..

dusk wadi
#

Like just a bit ago I was in underrot and pulled my group, looked at one thing on my bar and then I lost everything

prisma crane
#

TC is your friend, same with shield charge

#

they're good 360d attacks

dusk wadi
#

didn't know shield charge was 360

prisma crane
#

and try to bind everything you can

quiet minnow
prisma crane
#

the main hit isnt, the additionals are, added benefit to SC is getting a decent start to your block going

quiet minnow
#

throw in a challening shout for larger packs or more challenging pulls to gather

#

when in your ava you can basically do ss>tc>ss>tc>ss>tc and use rev/ip to avoid overcapping

prisma crane
#

and a dumb question, do you have nameplates that show threat?

quiet minnow
#

but you can send tc every other gcd

fresh igloo
#

I've been really appreciating titanic throw for starting off pulls and grabbing adds with a nice padding of threat this season.

prisma crane
#

its incredibly useful to help hold agro on large pulls

fresh igloo
#

i started using the plater profile from dorki and it feels pretty good to me

prisma crane
#

and you can benefit from swapping targets as you SS while you build threat

quiet minnow
dusk wadi
quiet minnow
#

havent tried titanic yet but was considering it

prisma crane
#

i still need to swap to plater, but im still an old tidy plates guy

fresh igloo
#

I've been running a modified version of the pinned build for some QoL choices

#

BkEAoonA2h02U1PVo4204nicFIkEAAAAIJJRSCSLpkkkWBRgAJSSJJBgQSQDJJIARCAAAAAAAEBAooBAC

#

if it helps

#

but yeah the primary thing to resolve with threat issues is using good rotation/CDs and target swapping your big ST hits early on if necessary

quiet minnow
#

and that it is up basically every other gcd during ava, which is up basically all the time

#

and then not just spamming ip

fresh igloo
#

i think the issue with losing threat may often be related to not realizing something is JUST outside of your TC or Revenge and then DPS starts unloading.

#

have to be more intentional with the targets that are spread a little further

#

(which is where titanic throw really helps me since it spreads so far)

13 seems wicked efficient

toxic pewter
#

might as well cut that 2nd pack in 12 and just do it with 13

sick sentinel
#

depends if this pack got pulled earlier or not

#

it gets ass pulled or normal pulled alot

crude notch
#

oh do you just hug right and skip that pack?

sick sentinel
#

the arrow is towards a building that has stairs

#

and you can jump off the back and miss those guys entirely

#

doesn't work well with bad players or like hunter pets especially can ass pul that if they jumpover with pets up

#

i think you can even just, walk behind it, but i don't remember

cinder nova
#

Oh cool, 10.1.5 and paladins get buffs to mana and regen, and nothing to damage 🫠 I guess being thousands of DPS ahead of the pack is fine, but when warriors are in the same spot we get regular incremental nerfs.

Don't starve yourself beforehand

You're doing these 1 or 2 mistakes:

  • you send too much IP
  • you send too much revenge

Your filler is revenge...

I have no downtime in pressing buttons

molten harbor

alright thanks for the help

strong forum
#

Pwar is a gigantic rage management class

#

The more rage you generate the more you spend

#

Which allows you to get more CDs

#

Which means more rage again

#

Outburst Management also means more rage

#

Therefor rage = rage

#

Don't send IP and empty your tank if you don't have SS ready

#

SS is your utmost priority over everything

#

Treat revenge as your tool to reset SS when TC is on CD

Is it just me or is prot warr realy bad rn, when it comes to surviving. I deal massive damage both in raid and m+, and i'm serious, massive overalls but whenever it's about surviving i'm done for, i do know my defs and what i can reflect etc etc, i'm not a newbie, just looking on other boys playing paladin or monk they're absolutely immortal

the current talent iteration is just granular enough that it requires you to actually read them i feel

skyhold keys died when 3 of the players quit

Isn't insight a chance-based proc?

cinder nova

You mean the 30-skill one?

modern brook
#

idk

sick sentinel
#

i promise you don't have to do nothing like that

fresh igloo

insight is the material that grants skill, at least for smithing

sick sentinel

its a 12 and a poorly done one

#

i know i did bad

the chance at bonus skill is inspiration

cinder nova

Some dude wants 10K for insight use

That's fucking wild to me

fresh igloo

and everyones always said "thats fucking stupid"

cinder nova

How does anyone charge anything for this shit

people should be swimming in mettle now, my prices have come down a lot.

cinder nova

I have like 60

modern brook

Its scam time tbh

cinder nova

I literally can't get rid of it fast enough

early on it was super tight and you needed it for all kinds of things.

modern brook

I have a lot of mettle but im double gathering so idk what to do with it all

sick sentinel

I use a ton of mettle. Some of my chars have stacks, but my smith and leatehrworker are always running out 😦

Why

Hey team, had issues with the dragon breath in HOI last night, any tips?

cinder nova

What are you using it on

lusty grotto
#

i have no idea how youre running out

cinder nova
#

Ditto

#

That shit is like ??? to me

lusty grotto

i have BS and tailoring and fucking enchanting

sick sentinel
#

What i want to spend my gold on is green/blue item recipes first crafts for profession points and then like heirloom armor and other pepega stuff

marsh stone
daring marlin
#

like legit just walk about 15 yards away when he's casting

marsh stone
#

gotcha

daring marlin
#

💪

marsh stone
#

will give it a shot, thanks mate

sick sentinel
#

i rran out of mettle atm cuz im crafting the profession tools i don't need

daring marlin
#

It's honestly night and day

sand crest
#

Insights for crafting mostly really. But I try to keep my public orders on cooldown. I use them to guarantee 5 stars

sick sentinel
#

only need like another 1500 i think

lusty grotto
#

4 publics at day at 1 insight each will not drain your mettle

#

even 8 if two crafting profs

sand crest
#

I dont only do public. Guild orders, personal orders

daring marlin
#

You crafting nerds

#

I can't be fucked

lusty grotto
#

ok well if i could give you all that garbage mettle i have, i would

#

cause honestly its just takign space

#

and anyone that says 15k for mettle use is smoking some huge crack

sand crest
#

yeah that's insane really.

lusty grotto
#

maybe early in s1, but not right now

sick sentinel
#

i can repair just about all of my armor for free now

#

like, 4 slots to go

#

only can't do the cloak

lusty grotto
#

🤷

#

that's a very yogi goal

sick sentinel
#

so, if i never die in an unrecoverable spot, free repairs for rest of DF

lusty grotto
#

you seem haunted by that specific scenario

sick sentinel
#

and the rare time i wil have to hit spirit rez, it won't cost me 800 gold cuz i did something dumb

lusty grotto

quiet minnow

so hopefully that isnt the case. because for blacksmithing to get any actual use out of masters hammer its going to take about until the next fuckin xpac is out

any dungeons where you guys aren't taking spell block currently?

neltharus and ulda are the only ones where we are, yeah

That's where we do take Spellblock

strong forum
#

Bloodsurge

cinder nova
#

Really? That feels like a lot of lost rage over something like Impen Wall

strong forum
#

Cuz anytime you want Spellblock, you also want punish

#

Anytime you want Spellblock, you also want SW frequently

#

Why would you give up defense to gain a different defense

cinder nova
#

Because you still have AM CDR

strong forum
#

Sure but why have 2min cd on SW

#

But then have Spellblock

cinder nova
#

Because damage times keys unless you're dying

strong forum
#

Bro

#

Imp wall

#

Is +20%rage gen on SS

#

Bloodsurge is not alot more than that

pallid quiver
#

imp wall also scales with outburst, too

strong forum
#

Hence the 20%

#

Cuz it makes people realise how much rage that is

#

Instead "yeah it's only +3 hurr dürr"

cinder nova
#

How much rage are each over a key?

strong forum
#

Almost equal

cinder nova
#

Do we have a more precise metric than that, or should I just dig through logs

strong forum
#

bloodsurge is 7-12% overall rage

#

depending on key

mighty valley
#

there's gotta be a lot of variance so there can't really be a simple answer

cinder nova
#

That's why I'm keen on knowing, Harrow

mighty valley
#

sure, just saying that it's the "dig through logs" one

#

but more shield walls is also a real benefit

cinder nova
#

Off to WCL then

#

@strong forum Do you recommend a particular method for rooting up the rage generation of Impen in logs, or does it separate it?

strong forum
#

its literally

#

20%

#

just substract 20% of your SS rage generated

cinder nova
#

But the rage generation is variable

strong forum
#

its not

#

how is 20% variable

cinder nova
#

??? you just said OB doubles it

strong forum
#

outburst scales with rage gen increases.

#

its still 20%

#

of an outburst proc

cinder nova
#

Oh, right.

#

Math.

#

How does it work

strong forum
#

🙂

#

thats my ultrapull FH dungeon

#

where i did triple pulls

#

you cant get more value out of bloodsurge

#

so other keys like Neltharus and Uldaman will be less

pallid quiver
#

any my kneejerk just woke up math says it gave like 200 more rage in its optimal setting compared to imp walll

strong forum
#

imp wall in this key

#

was 1439 rage

pallid quiver
#

closer to 400

strong forum
#

bloodsurge in its BEST CASE SCNARIO

#

is only 400 more

pallid quiver
#

apparently i can multiply but not subtract

cinder nova
#

Yeah, 200-400 more rage is like.. what? 1.5 OBs and a few seconds off CDs

strong forum
#

now lets look at VP

cinder nova
#

Do you feel the loss of Bloodsurge?

strong forum
#

no i dont

#

this is VP

#

the lowest pull dungeon next to NL

#

roughly same SS value

#

but ~40% less bloodsurge value

#

neltharus is somewhere between VP and FH in pullsize

#

so imp wall is just better

cinder nova
#

I wonder at what point we can safely just drop Bloodsurge for some cheesy damage like bleeds in keys where we aren't grabbing splock

copper lava
#

So the 4pc is awesome, just like, I hate how much of my damage is barrowed power. Like the annulet + shadow flame + 4pc + trinket

strong forum
#

im ok with 4pc doing damage

#

cuz you still need to play well

#

annulet, embellishs, trinkets

#

are not ok

copper lava
#

Yeah

strong forum
#

any source that does dmg just by existing

#

is not fun

toxic pewter
#

In low pull count dungeons can unnerving focus be better than bloodsurge

strong forum
#

any source of dmg that interacts with your kit, like stats is fun

copper lava
#

Don’t get me wrong I love the 4pc for both damage and the 5% more dr against magic damage

strong forum
#

but at that point

#

i prefer the consistency of bloodsurge

#

vs the short windows of ultra rage

toxic pewter
#

Yeah true, it is just more consistent

cinder nova
#

Yeah what are you even gonna do with all that extra rage in a bum key

copper lava
#

Revenge

cinder nova
#

You're not even taking damage enough to actually get value beyond AM

strong forum
#

nah not revenge

#

thats trolling

all the extra rage goes into IP

I mean just burn through more rage

You can't spend it fast enough to just press Rev

Hey make don’t forget the bedazzle

Make sure not too*

toxic pewter

I dunno I still do enjoy unnerving focus

#

It’s fun talent

cinder nova
#

I do too, but you don't need it to live big pulls tbh

#

Just crank IP

You can do like 120K HPS just trying to live

Yah but can crank more rage faster

Everyone point and laugh

he's using grapnel

i dont have anything else

cinder nova

Yeah I was in that boat for a bit

toxic pewter

I almost went with grapnel cuz it has str on it

strong forum
#

its like the 4th best trinket

cinder nova
#

Then I lucked into a 441 mark and beacon

#

:^)

strong forum
#

yeah mark isnt better

#

cuz it can miss

#

alot

cinder nova
#

I've never logged where it was beat out by grapnel

#

Ever

toxic pewter
#

I’m actually slowly becoming less of a mark fan the more I use it

cinder nova
#

Even in ST

strong forum
#

unless mark is doing 5-6k dps

#

its not beating grapnle

#

str vs crit my friend

cinder nova
#

I had 441 of both and never saw grapnel pass it

strong forum
#

YES

copper lava
#

Beacon is at the will of ring gods tho

strong forum
#

CUZ ITS STR VS CRIT

#

the str trinket obv does less raw dmg

copper lava
#

NO U

strong forum
#

the only str trinket that can do more than mark in raw dmg is anvil

#

but its str

#

so its 3% overall dmg better than the raw dmg proc lets you assume

cinder nova
#

Why does it sim over then, just assumes every hit lands?

strong forum
#

yes

#

on this boss

copper lava

I lost out on anvil yesterday by 1. Rolled a 99 and dude blindsides with 100

hey i am going to head out. This isn't the guild for me. I don't vibe here, nobody runs mythic plus with me whenever I try and ask a question or make a suggestion in raid, its met with either condensation or just a flat no. I appreciate the invite. GL

strong forum
#

mark would've needed to do over 7.5-8% of all my dmg

#

to beat grapnel there

#

sim always assumes you perfectly hit mark

cinder nova
#

Don't tell me this Nom I don't want to wear two actives again

strong forum
#

like mark is fine

#

but be aware

#

shit can HARD miss

#

especially on bosses

#

cuz its only a small frontal

#

not guaranteed value

cinder nova
#

Maybe I'm using it wrong but Grapnel seems to do very little cleave

strong forum
#

grapnel isnt amazing no

#

like i said

#

4th best

#

anvil bacon and kinda mark

#

but not always mark

cinder nova
#

So anvil/beacon is still the true BIS, but assuming mark is landing perfectly it sims higher

strong forum
#

yes

cinder nova
#

So I still need to do H amalg

#

god dammit

strong forum
#

anvil + bacon true bis

#

also

#

for anyone wondering

cinder nova
#

How much damage do you lose in ST to mark, approximately

strong forum
#

they fixed pre-using anvil before bosses

strong forum
cinder nova
#

Because with it oversimming I have no idea if a N 437 anvil is worth the try

strong forum
#

if it does 7% of your dmg, it only did true 3-4%

copper lava
#

When you grapnel something do you have a cool animation?

cinder nova
#

Eh

#

You throw a rope

#

Then yeet

strong forum
#

if you do it from range, its just a chain

cinder nova

And explode

if you do it in melee its just a small poof

copper lava

Lol that sounds fun ngl

strong forum
#

like

#

grapnel isnt bad at all

3.8k dps from a str trinket is amazing

mark in best case does 5k dps

maybe more with lucky rng

on kazzara my anvil went TargetSighted

@sick sentinel I asked ChatGPT to write a polite message asking you to move less in keys.

While I appreciate your dedication as a tank, I've noticed that there has been quite a bit of unnecessary movement during our encounters.
As you know, maintaining a stable position is crucial for the success of our team. Excessive movement can make it challenging for healers to keep up with their responsibilities and can disrupt the rhythm of our damage dealers. It also poses a risk of accidentally pulling additional enemies or misplacing area-of-effect abilities.
I kindly request that you focus on positioning yourself in a way that minimizes unnecessary movement. Take the time to establish a solid foundation and hold your ground whenever possible. By doing so, we can optimize our group's performance and ensure a smoother and more efficient dungeon experience for everyone.

it doesnt outsim

on sims, 441 forgestorm does ~1k dps more than a 447 on ST

do BH and it'll make you feel a bit better

if you have a weapon

thats supposed to do 3-4k dps

thats a 33% difference

like im not gonna craft a weapon this week

but likely in 4 weeks

or maybe in 2

its just 3%
