It's pretty good in M+ too
I use the same but on the location of the cursor
my idea is Frostfire+shiled with shadowflame
I have it [@cursor] because sometimes you want to shot it a bit away from your location but it should be fine 99% of the time
I'll look for new binds then
Mine is also a cursor macro
I'm yet to find a situation where there was really a need to throw it so I just dropped the mouseover macro immediately after discovering this one. Haha.
What helped me was “clustering” binds
For example mouse wheel being defensives
I like two shadow flame because it helps a bit more on bosses, smaller ones overall cause no padding though
there are some times, such as when you're kiting a pack and want to do a big opener elsewhere
A really good example this season is the first pull of Nelth when you doublepull
And adding some modifiers or just simply using the different functions of the mouse wheel (click, click left/right and the scroll)
You want to hit the wardens a little for threat and as you're kiting you can throw the ravager into the next pack and then ava+shield charge ni
Or always using Q for stuns on all classes
that's a very effective opener for that set that minimizes npc movement
Titanic throw owns
Do you go right or left? I go right and just charge all the way down to the chains to blow them up and the chains generate threat
Definitely worth over pain and gain
Yes I think I will do that for sgield wall and spell block
When should I do SB if I can't use it on cd ?
TLDR the more you “standardize” the binds across classes and specs the easier it is to get it
you should go left. Mammoth boss is the harder opener and determining whether the key is bricked or not in the first 5 minutes is far more efficient in pugs
Best way to do that is, essentially, rest your hand in your "default" position on your keyboard and feel around for what keys feel easiest to press. Those ones are your main abilities (ex. Shield Slam, IP, TC, etc). Ones a bit father out are things you hit less often, but still often enough (Avatar and DS and Shield Wall and such). Ones outside that range are utility and situational usage (ex. For me, F is Heroic Throw because it's never something you should be hitting super often, it's still comfortable for me to hit and thus I can still spam it if I need to). Same with mouse keybinds if you have them.
Anytime someone is swinging at you and you’re not going to overcap shield block duration and or you’re not going to waste the next cast
Sometimes the best way to hit all the mobs with ravager is also to have it just a bit on the side while you dodge some shit on the ground, I’m use to @stoic erminesors for everything so it works for me but it doesn’t matter that much. Also Ravager on pull from 30yard while you get ready to charge in save you a GCD on pull
For example if there’s 3 seconds left on shield block but the boss is going into a channel in 1 second there isn’t much of a reason to press it
just to be clear I definitely do @heavy mirage ravager the vast majority of the time, especially as prot, but there are pretty good use cases for flinging it far as prot
specifically for multi pack pulls where you want to lead where it goes
I don't pug very often so I guess I don't have to worry about that.
If you don't have the slightest bit of mistrust in your friends, are you really friends?
Wait doesn't shield block stack ? What is the max duration ?
i wouldn't waste lust pull on the side that has the chains that mostly delete the mobs anyway
Only really use mouseovers for healing so, I guess that's why I didn't get on with it. Just not enough motivation to keep at it. Haha. I also mouse strafe so, it can be uncomfortable to use mouseovers.
yo guys, im a fury main but wanna try out prot a bit, was wondering if last stand is refreshed if you pop it before a key is put in?
It does
But casting it while something is channeling and not swinging at you is just wasting shield block uptime
I mouse strafe too (and use mouse over for everything else as well), I guess I’ll just used to it 😛
If you’re pressing it and you can’t block you’re just wasting it
Yep
Unless you just wanted the shield slam damage
24(?) seconds is the cap (although LS with Bolster can push it past this)
All cds longer than 2 minutes work iirc
so u always wanna pop it before key start right?
yeah idc if it was technically even a worse way i want to know if we can kill the stupid elephant first
I’m just giving an example of when you should not press it
It’s not required
awesome, ty for the info
I use a mouse over for heroic throw but and I tried Death and Decay once but, I just didn't like not knowing fully where the centre was. Wasn't clicking in my brain. I'll try it again one day. 😂
i don't really keep up with high key stuff atm because lolstartoftheseason so idk if high key routers go right suddenly or not
Shield block honestly is as simple as “is the mob swinging at me or shooting at me” if yes you press it. If no then you don’t.
but as far as i'm aware from my friends doing ~24s, they go left atm so
I prefer to start with the right because as a blacksmith I like to have rhe additional damage for mammoth
also, is there a WA to track the 4set buff?
I’m a weirdo I enjoy seeing the green circle from heroic leap and ravager before it gets placed
with bolster though i mean if you dont wanna think too much about sb and shit you can kinda just press it on cd tbh
you shouldnt have any difficulty maintaining sb
I should really try to adjust to playing with @ cursors
Ok i understand
and it also affects your ss dam
i think heroic leap @stoic erminesor is a bit too risky and i've never had it tbh
Psychotic
The chains basically explode the mobs and I like getting that shit out of the way because the Boneskinners upstairs are deadly on Fortified. Which means I can pick up count in the easy area next to Mammoth.
That's good to know
I bind all my abilities to my feet like a chad
I also taunt/throw with mouse over and I target most of the time with tab targeting lol I can do a full m+ witho it clicking anything lol
i mean yes, this devalues the initial lust quite a bit tho
Uhm I actually use a DDR2 pad to hit my buttons
But then using shield block on cd is correct as a tank ? Since mob are atracking you anyway ?
Raid nights are how I get my cardio in
If you are being meleed you press a button that gives you shield block duration
It’s not any more complicated than that
I'm still playing around with it. I'll keep the lust thing in mind.
Basically reiterating what griff already said,
I realized
idk what to tell ya i'm 99% sure left is the better route
I'm not saying it isn't. Haha. I'm saying I prefer right because it works for me.
even if you have a BS I'd rather just use it on last boss since skipping a shield phase if possible would be the fastest way to cut down on boss time in the key
But who's on first?
Works better for lust until proven otherwise
You know these workds make me want to keep my macro...
lmao no
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YaIHb-_R-E&ab_channel=Robotnikthecat2 When they invented money, they invented greed, no we're no were longer trading for all the things we need.
dont
Lust on mammoth
macro bad
Holy shit I gotta buy a token
286k wow token on NA
Yeah because everyone timed there unsub for d4
So token sky rocket
Saw that coming miles ahead
Isn't the shield from blacksmith and food valuable ?
i might have to cash in on buyting somw wow tokens
It's more that people have traded in their wow gold for d4 platinum
i buy 3 or 4 im a millionaire
if wow token gets to 300k im getting like at least 2 tokens for sure
Yes but not enough to re route afaik
And “legal” retail > classic gold I’d guess, to a lesser extent
and then i'll just store that million gold on an alt for later
Yeah I mean I know some people are super weird about buying wow tokens but like
It’s literally not worth my time to farm 300k for 20 hours when I could buy a token for less than 1 hr of irl labor lol
_ I know some people are super weird about buying wow tokens_
look man, i understand asmongold and other peoples take that the wow token ruins wow and makes the game meaningless,
Don't need to expand
Tbf I also sell keys but just talking from a general perspective
but no, i don't think that also
i think there is absolutely positives that isn't just for the game devs or share holders about wow token
Ah yes asmongold who has never been carried or boosted to anything
God he’s so annoying
yeah, he can be quite an annoying twat some days, mostly i like and agree with stuff he says
I like asmongold he’s very entertaining
He’s just contrarian for a living
He can be funny but people worship him like a gif
God
I honestly dislike his chat more than I dislike him
I think chats the best part personally
like a gif
Yogi aren't you literally like
i was like wtf
Yogi is playing 90s games guys
I mean this in a loving way yogi
asmongold has some pretty grounded takes, but hes a character so most of the time so yeah - kind of similar to dr disrespect etc
Listening to classic only token discourse is hilarious because it's even more bad faith arguments than when token actually released on retail
i quit in panada which is based
The classic token discourse is hilarious
and then come back in bfa which was also based yogi move, i skipped out on legion for some reason
Classic has been full of RMT for years. The token changes nothing in terms of the economy
I read a post this morning that claimed because classic wow tokens can't be traded for bnet currency, the gold value of them is dropping
Which is like what
Literally the exact opposite of what that would mean
Classic token just legitimizes buying gold
And by the age range of classic playerbase that is like a 30+ year old guy making such a statement on economics
Everyone was already doing it though
Ye
basic microeconomics really needs to be taught in NA 🤦
that was pretty lit
Correct, anybody who says otherwise is oblivious
bro
i've never bought or sold gold a day in my life. : )
the only reason its a discussion is that they can scapegoat someone pretty easily
i bought gold for, i know at least 1 game, and i want to say runescape maybe even i bought some kind of gold or services
but i mean like, i think everyone has done that type of thing, official or not
It’s like oh you play 6-10 hours a week leveling and you bought 100% ride speed right at 60?
Hmmmmmm
it was very tempting to sell CM carries for irl money back in mop but that was because i was like 17 and didn't have a job
so $10/4 hours sounded actually cool (it wasn't? what the fuck was that all about)
ive never bought gold anywhere either and i have the dumb AH mount and i cleared naxx in classic (and did naxx up to Sapph in vanilla)
but
in a sense, but not really, thats why taxi over powered,
i understand why people would do it
back when it cost 5000 gold to flying fast speed
just get glad mount lel
I have a buddy that got the brutosaur selling M+ carries
The only realistic way to make gold in the game now days is to sell carry’s of some sort
I don’t even think they’re oblivious I think they’re aware but delusional
i mean, as far as classic goes, it's because a large part of the community that plays for "nostalgia" is actually doing the equivalent of vicariously living through their kids in little league games, and being toxic parents
like all that matters to them is that they "win" for their past child selves and get full WOTLK bis or whatever
Which is like a wildly fucked up mentality imo but whatever ig
Being an AH goblin is also viable
There’s a very very small amount of people who play the AH effectively
what we really need is like, the super duper party boat giga mount
Like a flying battleship!
In short no
Most people’s AH experience is either using there wow token money to buy the stuff they need or they get a 1 off rare item like a mount or boe or even a xmog item and they list it for whatever other people have it listed for
holds an entire raid and has ah and whatever, call it titanic
If you’re tanking and you have 16 seconds left on shield block and the pack is going to die
There’s no point in pressing shield block
either way its such a non-discussion because the idea that people can stop an arms race at the press of a button is so out of touch
Word
all i can say is when you're boosting for 5m gold a week it makes it really hard not to sell gold
I know how to stop people from buying WoW gold
everything's a cliche until its happening to you...... all it takes is one really shitty day.......
turn off the wow servers 
lol
Wow good is insanely inflated
I’d be in favor of a hard reset
But that would fuck people hard
Who have millions
Platinum when
does that mean asmon rebrands to asmonplatinum? asmonplat maybe?
pls no
Unpopular opinion I’m reasonably happy with the token
I ran across a guy one time talking about how he has something like 180M loaned to a race guild and he gets it all back plus interest apparently he does it every race
The average person will never compete with that
If it’s true anyway
Not uncommon
Just some guy I ran across in a pug one time talking about it
Max has talked about it before
Gallywix gave out like 400m to Liquid during Nyalotha I remember that and they paid them back in boosts.
Yeah like why do you think Mythic boosts are 5M +
Way to much gold floating around in the game
Yes for this situation i understand
Tbf the average player doesn’t really need alot of gold either from my perspective
keyge actually hemorrhages gold
Unless they’re trying to buy a mount or rare transmog or something like what else would they spend gold on?
Boosts?
😔
if blizzard really wanted to do some kind of gold reset, remember there is lore to support that dragons lay on a pile of gold because the gold retains heat and it does something that helps the dragon survive
so, evil dragon creates a world gold magnet sucks all the gold on azeroth to him
I can’t wait to spend half a mil to craft the legendary weapon that will totally drop for me on the next Sark kill
and then, we have to use platinum


it's not actually that much lol i think i was only down like 25k in consumes week 1 of doing like
a fuckton of keys
yogi plat is 1k gold
in most mmos
what youre saying has no logic
but again youre yogi
well, what do you do really?
maybe it'd cost more if i was playing a spec that used elemental chaos phials
This applies to like 95% of what yogi says lol
or actually used pots in keys
well, where do you go once the problem spreads to plats? gems and diamonds?
Changing the currency from gold to a smaller stack of platinum pretty much changes nothing
The value is still the value
The value only changes when theirs less currency available as a whole
hmm in that case then its right... its a forced conversion
i mean it's not really just gold that's the issue, there's kind of too much of everything in wow because it's just such an old ass game
my proposal is do nothing
theres nothing to be done
lol
there's no problem at all
Right pretty much do nothing
You either hard reset witch fucks everyone or you do nothing
the screeching when wow finally shuts down will be legendary, all the account progress lost
i can only pray it happens in my lifetime
Add some gold syncs sure but the people with 100s of mill won’t be effected by a gold sync
feels naur mate
all of this cause classic andies still think blizzard can 1 shot millions of bots a day
who gives a shit what they think
honestly
Ban people who rmt
That’s about it
Classic Andy’s have no legs to stand on
Like literally
tbf, bots are also a revenue for blizz
do you want blizzard to ban the 11 players of the 12 player classic wotlk server?
They voted with their wallets and continue to do so
They’ve been buying gold since like day 15 of classic
And continue to do so
Clearly the WoW token is popular too
Since yknow
It’s down to like 6k
lol
Meaning very high rates of purchase since it’s directly related to supply and demand
i mean shit, thats pretty great for a 12 player total server
It was over double when they released it
i dont doubt it
as far as i know, large scale botting operations are mostly not a source of revenue for blizz
because the people who do it don't actually get accounts or subs through exactly legal methods
Not entirely true if Reddit forum post is to be believed
not really surprising that the ama botter guy dodged questions on how exactly he got cheap sub costs, and it's not hard to find out how to get gray market cheap subs even now
there's still a longrunning, pretty well known hacks/bot forum that has many sellers openly advertising very cheap sub cost methods (that they sell)
i just can't see why you'd put your self in a potential line of fire like that
buying grey market items where official exists and you've already paid bigly into the account you are grey marketing for....??...what??
What
not legal no, but if your a gamer your account can be under fire based on whatever the game devs wanna do
Y... es, they bot on accounts that are expendable lol
you just dont share their perspective
they don't bot on "longterm main accounts"
thats what youre not understanding
because those don't exist lol
it is a literal business
they are workers
I have a friend from Venezuela, his wife and his son work as gold farmers and that's how they survive
They live a pretty decent life there
it can be very good money in countries with a weak currency
and wow is generally the most profitable game out of most other mmorpgs to bot like that
well, okay i get that, just its not the life style for me
im not about the sellin fire capes carries or some shit
but we're not talking about you
or selling boost lvl 99 fishing and this really hard quest on runescape
Grey market literally usually isn’t outside of ToS
i know for fact ppl did that type of stuff, i seen it happen with my own eyes
It’s just usually a way for people to get something they can no longer get or get something cheaper
I should know
It’s how I divested all the money I dropped on Star Citizen when I was naïve

MMOs are great for money laundering
my friends always playeds the "shady merchant" role way more than i did on runescape
The biggest money laundering I've seen come from chinese stocks, those are the real pump and dump schemes
The Krono farmer market in EQ for their TLP servers were very profitable
That’s because their entire economy is fake
1 of the like 4 of us, prety much ONLY logged on to trade shit on runescape

and the other 2 were good at it too, and i didn't care to trade to make gold
jesus fuck my ping is 276
They literally build fake cities to help pump the economy
I hope these OCE people are worth it!
It’s the weirdest thing
It is indeed
I mean, all economies are credit based now
That’s not what I mean
I can feel the tumor growing
It's real fast yeah
hell ye
What I’m meaning by that is they essentially setup fake projects to help make the economy look better to drive investment
It’s so weird
So my it department keeps trying to take control of my work laptop
Like they “deliver” a “product” but uhhh, it’s certainly not a viable product lmfao
Part of their "monitoring policy"
lol
And I have it blocked on my routers vpn
I read that many ultra wealthy people (billionaires) pay to not even appear on those "most rich people" lists
Just waiting for them to ask nicely what I'm doing
i mean in the context of gray market subs that are traded for illicit purposes (botting etc), it's only gray market because it's actually impossible to know where they're from
I wonder how many of those whales have children driving wow economy on their own
it is very likely quite a few of them are actually illegal with stolen ccs etc
i can say for 100% sure that on those forums, there are multiple tiers of cheap sub sold
and the ones that are subs through other countries' currencies (which are more "clean" basically) are slightly more expensive than the ones that are "don't ask any questions"
?
feel like a few packs are missing here
the pull 26 is not in the dungeon, only the 2 of them
Idk I was playing a bur in d4
and then there is a grp below it
I think they are just spread out a bit no? to make it easier to click
That does look scuffed, also not pulling the patroller in the cave is asking for a wipe
idk they didnt feel that bad
why would you do that
but maybe im wrong 😄
You can even skip pull 26 if you hug left and jump over the rocks
but i dont remember if there is cauldron close to it
no they arent
the rothexers are 100% not linked
i did pull 1 and i had to manually pull the rest
just did it 1 min ago
ok
that sounds slow as shit tho considering you can get like 10% count from the first area in 30s instead of pulling that pack to begin with
that area does weird shit with randomly some times socialing stuff and some times not.
also i did something in the Tree area that pulled the enitre area
not sure which mob did that 🤔
like this entire area got aggrod together
sometimes you can agro a mob and it'll go around the long route
nah it insta snapped all of them
it wasnt walking
That sounds efficient
but idk if it was someone else
but man this dungeon feels like it has way too much %
i mean you're just pulling really inefficiently if you're doing all the trash in that last area
those mobs are all really shitty efficiency
whereas the mobs in first and 2nd area (up to treemouth) are all very high efficiency
For those that didn't see this reddit post from the other day and made stereotype comments regarding gold farmers. https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/13rgbzi/i_am_a_botter_gold_seller_at_the_start_of_every/
Do you take the center ramp or go hard right?
hard right
love bh
you want to pull more in 2nd area
you can add rot slimes to each pull relatively safely
and also just multi pull several of those all together because those packs are very deceptive
almost none of the mobs in each pack actually do anything
yea i do that
The summoned lashers can pop under ground and cause the pack they're connected to to warp,
i have anvil so i have to 😄
Not talking about chain pulling
would you pull anything in between 1-2 here?
I mean you legit want to mount run ahead and have people pull behind like 3 packs altogether so you do like a 5 pack pull
Pull the pack between 1 and 2 for starters, thats what I do
lol
i pull next pack when casters die usually
I pull the patroller and pack between 1 and 2 into 2
the pat or what?
pat and casters that are next to them in mdt
The entire hilltop
Kanga you're a funny guy y'know
so start is like this ye
Ya
it has a warscourge iirc
nah it only has a Warscourge
The early trash is ez as long as you have a tranqshot and kicks
also, do 8 before 6, so that you dont waste cds before boss, take pat from 6, and pull it with 8 instead if you can
we had no Soothe so they would flee and be CC immune 😄
That's tbh why I do such wide pulls in the first area
Because fleeing means shit when the next dude is 200ft away
do you do the bear patrol before the 3rd boss?
you pull bear with boss if anything
down to the left
TFW you get compliments for tank damage and you did absolutely shit, so you're left wondering how horrifying bad their previous tanks were
not that one
There's only one bear you pull
wym not that one
in the whole dungeon
or should be pulling rather
Bridge bear
21 bear is the only bear you should be pulling
we are talking about the bridge bear
And patroller bear
That is why you skip it
You want to basically skip as many hunters in the dungeon as you can, that's the name of the game.
Then the dungeon is free af
I don't do 25 or 26.
the 25 seems very efficient %
but probably dangerous on higher key
pull 25 is 8% alone
so like this?
or not the Warscourges either?
tuesday
cuz this is wild lmao
tuesday after reset is usually the play
bunch of goofy mfers atm
probably reset day, no?
or like day after reset for alt runs
Pugging sark sounds unfun
In brack im at like 94% by the time i finish second boss
the issue is on tuesday when I did up to him the group I was in "nah we're done after echo"
and I was just like "you fuckin' wot"

yeah tuesday and if youre lucky wednesday
i got a decent group this week so got the kill on wednesday
after that the chances get slimmer
tried to squeeze in a demon monday pug on my shaman and that was a terrible idea
like i legit have to run my paladin through it and im not looking forward to it
I had a paladin telling flaming dps on zskarn as he was tanking the boss in traps
ill probably do echo and stop there
that was pretty cool
LOL
idk if thats worse than just taunting off while still having stacks
cause ive seen a few tanks that keep doing that
downright bizarre
was he in the traps as well
cause technically dps should be able to melee him from out of the fire
lol
It was just all sorts of goofy
is Sudden Death procs for execute have higher priority over SS and TC?
gotcha. i feel like i often cannot even use the proc, esp in avatar windows. is what it is i gues
this is only for ST, as Sudden Death is only taken here
Ud use it when ur tc doesn't reset your ss in avatar
in fact on execute range, you should probably replace revenge use for execute
only in single target
Isn't it 3 targets where exe vs rev is a thing
But I mean, minmax who can think that fast..............

but i was under the impression we were talking ST only
just making the clarification in case someone sees it
O that makes more sense
I actually have to be productive at work today so I'm only catch half of chat
Down 50% of my developers and work is piling up, had a new one start and I'm pretty sure "noped" out after they were assigned 44 tasks in their first 3 days.
Had to talk to the queue manager about not scaring the new guys off before they can write any scripts
Lmao rip
No, our parent company converted the office space into a rental conference hall for international clients
No return to office for us
I started a new job recently and it’s been boring as hell so far
Wish it was work from home 😦
thank god for that
How are you at Node.js?
Want excitement
Lmao
It’s $18hr with full benefits and easy work, if boring. I’ll take what I can get even if having to spend 11 hours between work and commute daily sucks
how long's the commute?
30-45min each way depending on traffic
My ass slept though my alarm this morning and arrived 20min late oops
Yikes
just be like me and be a 6-min walk from work
i am lucky enough to have had a sub 15 for years now
moved even closer recently actually so it's <5
yo; what talent should i drop for spell block?
pins will help you with that answer
I live at home rn but if I stay at this job I’ll move closer to base
when I had a 30 I just kept dozing off while driving home, sucked ass
legit moved because it was feeling insanely dangerous
when i worked at starbucks my commute was 45 minutes one way and it was at 3am. That was spooky if I didn't get enough sleep the night before.
A 45min commute to work at Starbucks holy shit

Yeah my jobs in my life have either been 35-45 minute drives or literal 5 minute walks.

i just dont think I have the self control for purely wfh
I officezu twice a week and its great for my touch grass mental
I work 3 days a week now, so I'm fine walking 700 feet to go to work to do what I'd just be doing at home anyways, playing wow.
Otherwise I'd be in my room 24/7 lol.
idk about self control honestly, as long as i do my stuff within estimations and/or deadlines nobody should worry about what im doing in idle time
I’ve basically made it a point to do a specific amount of work every week
if you fail to do those then yeah self control is becoming a problem
TLDR I try to do as much work as I did while in office
But I simply get it done faster at home lol
yeah its kind of the mmo mentality, get your chores done fast
shit done? then time to fuck around
Yeah that's how I've always handled work
there's also the point of, if youre mentally blocked on something at work, anything that's not work related is great to getting out of that block
at the office i just stepped out and had a walk
and ideas came pouring in
at home i just fucking alt tab and do something else lmao
with the same results
or better
it's not really work related, it's moreso "actually go outside and touch grass" related
i had tuesday off for memorial day so i almost stayed inside for like 6 days straight this week
but decided to go for tacos on tuesday with a friend for actual sunlight 🙈
Oh I for sure don’t
I did wfh most of last year
And online school for last 1.5 years of college
My gpa plummeted
I get that 100%. With working only 3 days a week and it being so close I force myself to go out on Tuesdays with either my parents or a friend.
I got turbo depressed
I commuted to school for one semester and it was the best I’ve ever done
ya it's really bad in winter just have to force self to go outside for random shit just to get out of the house
A 15-20min commute is perfect for me to shift my mindset
Whereas when I did WFH I’d just play wow half the day or more
WFH can't happen for me due to the nature of my job but I wish I could do it, I hate commuting and I spend a fair amount of time just sitting around
This time last year I was a covid case investigator and cases were at an all time low. I literally would make 3-5 phone calls, then play wow for 3 hours. Repeat calls as needed, play wow for 3 hours. One last round of calls, play wow until clock out
It was GOATed tbh
I play WoW more at work than at home some weeks.
see school is a bit different, the way i see it
the social experience even if you aren't very social is important
just seeing people etc
work just isn't the same thing
I can't even fathom school during COVID. I'd hang out with classmates at the local Panera for hours during university and that would just not be a thing.
agreed it would suck
dont get me wrong im sure there are people that can do it and prefer it but
idk being in the dungeon during school just seems depressing in itself
I'm fairly anti social but during school I needed to be around people without even talking it was big.
Freaking trick my brain into "well everyone else is doing school work I better"
Being a federal contractor is fun. I’ve had to resubmit the same pdf 4 times now because I’ve apparently been told how to fill it out incorrectly 4 times
lol
Lol
bureaucratic red tape can be fucking stupid, but also amounts to idle time
so ive learned to not mind it
"well the ball is in your court" kind of thing
And this computer is so fucking slow
Yes I have been working on this form for about 45min
now the slow computer is something i absolutely detest
Yeah I’m kinda losing my mind when it can’t even keep up with me typing
nelt nelt nelt nelt nelt nelt nelt

Starting to look like my UR weeks
killed Mythic Rashok last night on my prot. honestly easiest fight of my life. i died in the last 20 seconds though like a fucking newb
but feels good
people talking shit about prot warrior being bad and not good on that fight
ez game
Who's people so I can kill them
anyone of you playing with Beacon and Forgestorm? i dont have either yet and been grinding goddamn neltharus for it
i dont have forgestorm yet, i got one early on the season but champion level
Okay I won't kill your guild, that sounds messy
Tank choice isn’t relevant on that fight other than PPal trivializing part of it
exactly
i told them that fight is all full send
Bubble taunt kinda GOATed tho
they were talking about going super defensive and shit
i said kids.... sit down an dlemme tell you something
i think that sums it up
and enjoy the show
I have a Beacon but no Pogstorm
beacon is so insane dude
Beacon 
the vault gods will never grant it
my healer has it. he did 20k+ dps as a holy priest with that shit rofl
I’m a brew main, I know the feeling. I have the top post-nerf brew Dps on m rashok 😤
Shit dice bro
Well, theres 2 99 roll there, thats 50/50, so would suck to be on the losing side, I think losing a 99/100 roll is worse
im the 22 roll
An L is an L
btw the mage fucking won
I know, I'm saying one of those 2 99 rollers were probably on the edge of their seats
feels bad for that warrior

I never check what I rolled. I just walk away like a gigachad
lol
😉
CAN A BROTHER GET 4PC AND AN ASHKANDUR PLS
I'M SICK OF BEATING OTHER RETS WITH BOTH
No
my bro co tank is crying like a bitch about the dps nerf
lmao
hah what a loser
Imagine
Ashkandur would be nice...
Yeah very cool that we weren’t even on top and now we’re near the bottom 😄
I mean depends on the context
not terrible when adds spawn on sark at least
Brew was stupid in keys
Still not that far above VDH pre-nerf
We weren’t even top tank Dps in raid 🤔
Bear has giga damage in raid but then you’d have to be bear
True
U literally main an angry man
I main a holy crusader
Even worse
😛
I just wish Brew wasn’t so clunky rn
If you were to stay in Defensive Stance an entire fight does it show up in logs?
So many damn CDs lmfao
Prot pala opinion detected 🥴
How bout you CDs nuts
Yes
My Warrior has it. SORRY
Ain't no way
There’s definitely bloat
So on this fight, if I’m looking at it right whoever it was didn’t have a stance active? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/h7krBVvat8jwCm1X#fight=25&type=auras&source=9&start=0&end=0
Speaking of my DK
IDK, PWar has same number of CDs to me
I just don’t like having exploding keg, bonedust brew, statue and WoO
Like kinda clunky to press everything right away
Pwarr in late shadowlands was harder than current brew
On top of all the other rotational buttons
Agreed
Not really
The 1sec GCD helps though
Prot in late SL was the same as it always was
The APM requirement was insane with banner
It just was about being more efficient with rage
Remove WoO from GCD easy life
The apm was the same lol
Please god
🤔
hmmmm yes apm with banner laughs in bfa haste corruption
TD
Pwarr just felt so hectic to me, and I know I’m not alone in that. I think it was the 2nd best tank behind BDK but it was so difficult and unforgiving that most people thought it was shit
It's because reprisal was dog shit gameplay
The only difference is you casted IP a bit more because of set bonus and constant rage gen of banner
It wasn’t massively inflated
Reprisal too
Reprisal was actually what made me unwilling to play my warr anymore
Lemme just ping pong around for rage and hope I don’t get one tapped in the back while I do it
Anyone that liked reprisal can DM me for a referral to a therapist
Tbf though at least it was more fun than BDK
DMing you now Griff
i hated it when i resubbed
But it wasn’t the worst
S4 BDK is the least fun spec I’ve ever played
but it grew on me
Go ahead but guess what?
Reprisal was good
It’s still optimal to charge weave
WHY NOT
Guilford I used to think you were based
Like I said
Still optimal to charge weave
Reprisal just actually made it mandatory
Maybe my perception is skewed cuz I quit after S2.
I thought the extra SB and rage was neat
I didn’t like it at the start
yo guys, is there a WA to track the 4set bonus?
fuck reprisal in s1/s2
But I developed a like for it
Griff the simple fact that you're putting them on the same level just makes me sad
Like
I'm gonna say it
It always has been
I miss battle cry Shield slam spam
I remember there was a reprisal cult in this discord
LMAO
Hitting BC every 20 seconds and spamming SS for the next 6 was fun
Wouldn't surprise me
tfw still played the wall all throughout SL 😏
With the level of cringe I'm hearing right now
I'm in the minority anyway
There's always a weird counter culture cult here, and it's always the same people... curious
Spear ganggang
Reprisal itself was a bandaid
always and forever
Now you're just making words up
charging into a pack and getting shield block ready felt great

It was good, it just wasn’t good for damage
fuck reprisal in s1 SL, end of story
running out of a pack to charge because you ran out of block did not
I would welcome it back tbh
?
reprisal in s4 though... yeah thats okay
Having on demand crit block was nutty
oh no
Stahp
🙂
imagine this for jailers buster
Do you guys remember the "just stack mastery lol" guys on mythic argus
now that there be a bait
I'm revoking your prot warrior privileges
yes lol
they were constant
Something tells me one singular change didn't make you stop playing for two expansions.
It literally went away within one patch
Especially since yeah it lasted only a patch
there was at least one notable guy a day going off about it
and frankly it felt bad but it wasn't even that big of a deal
meh?
in avatar you just alternated ip and clap
cuz avatar was broken as fuck with clap then
UF is a shell now!
I think my favorite legion meme is still the "i solo tanked star augur when you guys said prot warrior couldn't do it even tho no one actually ever said that" guy meme
I'm spittin'
First time?
sal cmon, the best legion meme was 🥑
Oh true
cuz it didn't stop me doing big dam in S1
Star Augur guy is a close second tho
LMAO 🥑
lol star augur guy
I have no clue what to craft next im Considering either normal Neck or ring what do you guys think https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-gb/character/eu/draenor/kello ??
Remember when people said prot was bad
And you basically ended up needing them for mythic kj
but legion haha
yea
the sco memes were good
i still have one cause he looks like that guy from Apex
God I fucking hated Sco for several reasons, and that was a big one
the amount of „lol play pala“ o gurt if i q for a 17 ( 441 Ilv - 2670 io) is fun yeah
???
here it is
What?
I hate stupid fucking wow personalities who do stupid fucking tier lists with a passion
Especially when the people making them can't tell their head from their ass
"But it's 10% max hp surely it's good??"
still is
you jerks are making me want to go back to being a tank
Max is about the only one that I actually even pay attention to
Max too
i mean i dont even pay attention to max's tier lists
and that's because he doesn't make the list he has people making the class rate their class lmfao
I don't put a huge amount of stock into it
dorki kinda based tho
they do good content, do great keys, but their tier lists are more personal than anything
but it's about the only one I'll watch just to hear people say their class isn't OP when it is

The problem is that people who consume their content don't have brains
He acknowledged pally is amazing but gets fucking shredded in freehold
which it does
ya
well guilford he has great opinions, same as naowh, same as max
but tier lists are just... tier lists
well yeah
unfortunately there are people who like them
even in fighting games tier lists are a meme
people just want fast digested information
league gamers prolly remember elementz tier lists and how much shit he got for them
lmao
i dont blame the masses either tbh
well, i kind of do but at the same time i understand
they do
where?
under stances, seals and what not
not seeing it under buffs
If you never changed stance from before the log began, it doesn't show up
Dorki has some genuinely baffling takes
I much prefer Naowh when it comes to high end tank takes
Too late, work got in the way :∆
there you have it, he just never changed stances
Is the embellish shield any good
No
he had one on just didn't change from whatever it was
Kk Ty
Dorki is just very biased to his dk and bear, and naowh has zaelia who carries hard, but dorki has that deep voice which is better for my ears
both played warrior correctly so
they have my respect
now lets talk about nerf
LOL
Dorki is probably the most based tank content creator
sorry i misspelled nerfbadatwarleechversaleechversa
I refrain to comment on that
Naowh doesn't love warrior but at least he acknowledges when it's actually likely good
i am just simply running Shadowflame armor patch X 2
I mostly dislike dorki’s takes on monk. They’re not as bad as nerf’s though. Pretty sure he actively hates brew. Dorki just doesn’t understand it that well
ilvl 437 in belt and shield embellishments and then boots with food buff
Brm went from 1 button to 27, I hate it too
my 2 embellishments are 437 and my boots are 424
🤔
You know what the worst part about this is? It's the tanks who do really dumb things or are actively bad at their class that make me feel some type of way and really make me consider going back to tanking

the only reason i have "kind of" watched nerf lately is cause iu watch Ellesemere because hes a god tier holy paladin and always has been
Ellesmere is the epitome of a Paladin main
brm was my first tank ever in bfa, but I stopped playing it because it felt like a snoozefest at the time, and I was pretty new into the game
I miss WoD BrM
im convinced he literally carries nerf
If you know you know
cause holy fuck nerf sucks
Lol
most dps/healers carry tanks
you could team up with bullfango to do a log review if i ever post a better key
he has a really good team
The Nerf hate in here is amusing.
I'm convinced zaelia carries his whole team, no one can change my mind
Being a good tank in the context of M+ isn't being good at your class
This
This this this
it's being good at routing and stops/pulling around your group
much less now
Being a good M+ tank is much more meta-knowledge than spec knowledge
that was true before DF, and even more so now
Thank you
Now why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave.
You also need to be likeable of sorts at that level and be level headed, can't push for 8 hours every day while raging your team
I hate when people are like “x streamer got to y io as this spec, I think they know more about it than you” nah bro I’ve literally seen some cooked shit in terms of builds, talent understanding, etc
You just need to be a good player who’s flexible and quick to learn
And then have insane m+ knowledge/skills
You don’t need to be an expert on a spec to push hard with it, particularly a tank

MOOD LOL
Just memorize every mob, ability, mechanic, cheese, etc. Then learn all the other classes to know pros/cons for pulls and timing. Then just don't get clapped.
I remember when ellesmere and billy were with Redwoyer back in the day, I don't remember what team nerf had
That’s not to say any of these high end key tanks suck at various specs
Its just that easy
They’re insanely good players
nerf played with jb and shak
And they’re at the top for a reason
its all about repetition and actually looking out for what the stuff does
It just annoys me when people treat their opinions on specs they barely understand as gospel
Dude, don't even get me started. I fucking go through the ringer whenever my guild dps say dumb shit for tanking when they literally have no clue.
F, man didn't block every physical hit of the tank combo sheeeesh
I need to learn these fights so I can actually deep dive on these logs
rn I just press Dragonrage and breath fire on people
It also annoys me when people act like streamers are dogshit and hard carried though. They clearly understand enough to be good. I see it in a lot of class discords, particularly when streamers run builds or gear that doesn’t line up with recommended stuff from discords/guides
Just egos all around
Welll..........
"Where is your codex?" - DPS brains
Streamers running bad talents or trinkets doesn't make them right
