dense shell

no, i play only M+

final mist
#

It's pretty good in M+ too

ashen coral
#

I use the same but on the location of the cursor

dense shell
#

my idea is Frostfire+shiled with shadowflame

final mist
#

You can take one and have the Frostfire Belt second

#

That's fine

crystal mauve
#

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

ashen coral
#

I'll look for new binds then

dense shell
#

or 2 shadowflame , one on shield and 1 on crafted chest

#

For example mouse wheel being defensives

#

And adding some modifiers or just simply using the different functions of the mouse wheel (click, click left/right and the scroll)

proper roost
#

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

chilly brook
#

Or always using Q for stuns on all classes

proper roost
#

that's a very effective opener for that set that minimizes npc movement

#

Titanic throw owns

#

Definitely worth over pain and gain

ashen coral

#

TLDR the more you “standardize” the binds across classes and specs the easier it is to get it

proper roost
#

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

final mist
# ashen coral I'll look for new binds then

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.

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

proper roost
#

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

sleek current
proper roost
#

I mean, as far as I'm aware for high keys, you go mammoth first always

#

but idk 🤷

#

If you don't have the slightest bit of mistrust in your friends, are you really friends?

ashen coral

#

i wouldn't waste lust pull on the side that has the chains that mostly delete the mobs anyway

sleek current

#

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?

chilly brook
#

But casting it while something is channeling and not swinging at you is just wasting shield block uptime

crystal mauve
chilly brook
#

If you’re pressing it and you can’t block you’re just wasting it

chilly brook
#

Unless you just wanted the shield slam damage

final mist
#

24(?) seconds is the cap (although LS with Bolster can push it past this)

All cds longer than 2 minutes work iirc

#

Yes so you get the aoe on first pack

#

Extremely min max

chilly brook
#

I’m just giving an example of when you should not press it

dusky canopy
#

It’s not required

stark jewel
sleek current
proper roost
#

i don't really keep up with high key stuff atm because lolstartoftheseason so idk if high key routers go right suddenly or not

chilly brook
#

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.

proper roost
#

but as far as i'm aware from my friends doing ~24s, they go left atm so

ashen coral
stark jewel
#

also, is there a WA to track the 4set buff?

dusky canopy
#

I’m a weirdo I enjoy seeing the green circle from heroic leap and ravager before it gets placed

quiet minnow
#

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

dusky canopy
#

I should really try to adjust to playing with @ cursors

quiet minnow
#

and it also affects your ss dam

proper roost
#

i think heroic leap @stoic erminesor is a bit too risky and i've never had it tbh

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

#

just checking the most recent highest 24 neltharus

#

they went left, so

dusky canopy
proper roost
#

idk what to tell ya i'm 99% sure left is the better route

sleek current
#

I'm not saying it isn't. Haha. I'm saying I prefer right because it works for me.

proper roost
#

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

NELT?

Left is the defacto right now

Saw that coming miles ahead

i might have to cash in on buyting somw wow tokens

if wow token gets to 300k im getting like at least 2 tokens for sure

dusky canopy
waxen frigate

and then i'll just store that million gold on an alt for later

dusky canopy
#

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

daring marlin
#

_ I know some people are super weird about buying wow tokens_

sick sentinel
#

look man, i understand asmongold and other peoples take that the wow token ruins wow and makes the game meaningless,

daring marlin
#

Don't need to expand

dusky canopy
#

Tbf I also sell keys but just talking from a general perspective

sick sentinel
#

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

waxen frigate
#

God he’s so annoying

sick sentinel
#

yeah, he can be quite an annoying twat some days, mostly i like and agree with stuff he says

dusky canopy
#

I like asmongold he’s very entertaining

waxen frigate
#

He’s just contrarian for a living

dusky canopy
#

You don’t have to agree with all of his takes

#

It’s called being a human

#

Weird

waxen frigate

He can be funny but people worship him like a gif

10+ years late to the wow token discourse

Yogi is playing 90s games guys

I mean this in a loving way yogi

lusty grotto

asmongold has some pretty grounded takes, but hes a character so most of the time so yeah - kind of similar to dr disrespect etc

proper roost
#

Listening to classic only token discourse is hilarious because it's even more bad faith arguments than when token actually released on retail

sick sentinel
#

i quit in panada which is based

waxen frigate
sick sentinel
#

and then come back in bfa which was also based yogi move, i skipped out on legion for some reason

waxen frigate
#

Classic has been full of RMT for years. The token changes nothing in terms of the economy

proper roost
#

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

dusky canopy
#

Classic token just legitimizes buying gold

proper roost
#

And by the age range of classic playerbase that is like a 30+ year old guy making such a statement on economics

waxen frigate
crude notch
#

yo did you guys see ama from the gold seller?

#

on wow reddit

waxen frigate
#

Ye

proper roost
#

basic microeconomics really needs to be taught in NA 🤦

crude notch

that was pretty lit

dusky canopy
#

Correct, anybody who says otherwise is oblivious

lusty grotto
#

EVERYONE was buying gold in classic vanilla

#

idk why its a discussion

sick sentinel
#

bro

crude notch
#

i've never bought or sold gold a day in my life. : )

lusty grotto
#

the only reason its a discussion is that they can scapegoat someone pretty easily

sick sentinel
#

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

dusky canopy
#

It’s like oh you play 6-10 hours a week leveling and you bought 100% ride speed right at 60?

#

Hmmmmmm

proper roost
#

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)

lusty grotto
#

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

sick sentinel
#

in a sense, but not really, thats why taxi over powered,

lusty grotto

i understand why people would do it

The only realistic way to make gold in the game now days is to sell carry’s of some sort

I also know a dude who swiped the CC for he and his gf to get the brutosaur

lmao

waxen frigate
proper roost
#

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

lusty grotto
#

yea

#

thats exactly it

proper roost
#

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

waxen frigate
dusky canopy
#

There’s a very very small amount of people who play the AH effectively

waxen frigate
#

But requires some actual market understanding

#

Yea

sick sentinel
#

what we really need is like, the super duper party boat giga mount

lusty grotto
#

i both sold, and played the AH

#

ngl

#

carries i mean

sick sentinel
#

Like a flying battleship!

dusky canopy
#

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

sick sentinel
#

holds an entire raid and has ah and whatever, call it titanic

chilly brook
#

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

lusty grotto
#

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

dusky canopy
#

Word

lusty grotto
#

which btw is a take Asmongold has

#

that just doesn't happen

crude notch
#

all i can say is when you're boosting for 5m gold a week it makes it really hard not to sell gold

daring marlin

I know how to stop people from buying WoW gold

turn off the wow servers wicked

Wow good is insanely inflated

I’d be in favor of a hard reset

But that would fuck people hard

does that mean asmon rebrands to asmonplatinum? asmonplat maybe?

#

Unpopular opinion I’m reasonably happy with the token

dusky canopy
#

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

dusky canopy
#

Just some guy I ran across in a pug one time talking about it

chilly brook
#

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.

dusky canopy
#

Yeah like why do you think Mythic boosts are 5M +

#

Way to much gold floating around in the game

ashen coral

#

Tbf the average player doesn’t really need alot of gold either from my perspective

chilly brook

I do

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?

😔

sick sentinel
#

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

dusky canopy
#

I mean maybe consumes yeah

#

That’s fair

sick sentinel
#

so, evil dragon creates a world gold magnet sucks all the gold on azeroth to him

chilly brook

and then, we have to use platinum

chilly brook
dusky canopy
proper roost
#

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

lusty grotto

yogi plat is 1k gold

in most mmos

#

what youre saying has no logic

but again youre yogi

sick sentinel
#

well, what do you do really?

proper roost
#

maybe it'd cost more if i was playing a spec that used elemental chaos phials

chilly brook
proper roost
#

or actually used pots in keys

sick sentinel
#

well, where do you go once the problem spreads to plats? gems and diamonds?

dusky canopy
#

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

lusty grotto
sick sentinel
#

well, what is your proposal what to do

#

thats mine

proper roost
#

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

lusty grotto
#

my proposal is do nothing

#

theres nothing to be done

#

lol

#

there's no problem at all

dusky canopy
#

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

Add some gold syncs sure but the people with 100s of mill won’t be effected by a gold sync

all of this cause classic andies still think blizzard can 1 shot millions of bots a day

tbf, bots are also a revenue for blizz

lusty grotto
chilly brook
#

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

lusty grotto
#

lol

chilly brook
#

Meaning very high rates of purchase since it’s directly related to supply and demand

lusty grotto
#

i mean shit, thats pretty great for a 12 player total server

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

i dont doubt it

proper roost
#

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

chilly brook
proper roost
#

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)

sick sentinel
#

i just can't see why you'd put your self in a potential line of fire like that

lusty grotto
#

because its a game

#

there are no legal repercussions

#

so fuck it

sick sentinel
#

buying grey market items where official exists and you've already paid bigly into the account you are grey marketing for....??...what??

proper roost
#

What

sick sentinel
#

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"

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"

they arent hard

You can even skip pull 26 if you hug left and jump over the rocks

you have to pull all 4 of them at once

they're all linked

the middle 4 are

There are 2 separate ones (denoted as 26)

actually those are filthcallers i think

craggy pilot

the rothexers are 100% not linked

i did pull 1 and i had to manually pull the rest

#

just did it 1 min ago

proper roost
#

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

fresh igloo
#

that area does weird shit with randomly some times socialing stuff and some times not.

craggy pilot
#

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

lusty grotto

sometimes you can agro a mob and it'll go around the long route

craggy pilot

it wasnt walking

lusty grotto

oh

interesting

cinder storm

That sounds efficient

craggy pilot
#

but idk if it was someone else

#

but man this dungeon feels like it has way too much %

proper roost
#

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

crude notch

ye the early Warscourge might be worth it

they give a ton of %

uneven mason
craggy pilot

#

love bh

proper roost
#

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

craggy pilot
#

yea i do that

uneven mason

The summoned lashers can pop under ground and cause the pack they're connected to to warp,

craggy pilot

i have anvil so i have to 😄

proper roost

Not talking about chain pulling

uneven mason
#

But he is

craggy pilot
#

would you pull anything in between 1-2 here?

proper roost
#

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

3 Fighters is kinda yikes tho with the bleed

most annoying in 1st area is the flee

cinder storm
#

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

craggy pilot
#

we had no Soothe so they would flee and be CC immune 😄

uneven mason
#

That's tbh why I do such wide pulls in the first area

Because fleeing means shit when the next dude is 200ft away

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

so what would you pull here?

both Warscourge Patrols?

I don't do 25 or 26.

the 25 seems very efficient %

downright bizarre

this is only for ST, as Sudden Death is only taken here

in fact on execute range, you should probably replace revenge use for execute

only in single target

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
