#

And since ilvl is king

lusty grotto
#

not for the versa context

dusky canopy
#

You end up with more Vers than you’d prefer

#

But it’s not bad

lusty grotto
#

you dont need versa for 20 to 24ish

tropic gorge
#

Oh well yeah. I'm not running big boy 20s.so I don't worry about vers much

lusty grotto
#

anything higher than that, you probably will

dusky canopy
#

You would need like 60% Vers to lower the difficulty by 1 key level

jagged pier
#

well they arent technically, they are for a lot of ppl but in a game of scaling like keys do like the difference between a 22-23 is more than like a 17-20 key. so kinda they arent but in terms of stats they are in terms of player base

dusky canopy
#

Like guys it’s very irrelevant

lusty grotto
#

right jakey but im talking about it with the context of needing versa

tropic gorge
#

Who needs vers when you can be a glorious dwarf with the best tank racial

#

Bahahaha

broken juniper
#

does somebody know if the tank debuff from Forgotten Experiment is Spell Blockable?
On the sheet it only says it's "Shield Blockable" for the physical portion I assume.
On mythic the guy fucking hurts with 6-7-8 stacks

lusty grotto
#

the dot? no

jagged pier
#

oh at some point u want vers, but thats like 26-27s but even saying that i think andy was R1 with 10% vers last season

#

so

#

🤷

dusky canopy
#

Yes

jagged pier
#

wtf do i know

lusty grotto
#

yup

dusky canopy
#

Iirc

uncut thunder
broken juniper
#

so yes or no, im getting mixed result lol

dusky canopy
#

No

lusty grotto
#

Nervosity the damage youre taking is from the dot, it's NOT spell blockable

jagged pier
#

its a no

tropic gorge
#

Abusing spell reflect on the fire dude for the experiment fight is glorious

broken juniper
final mist
jagged pier
#

it just blocks the magic part of the first hit

final mist
#

It'd a melee hit

#

And then a dot

final mist
#

You Block the melee hit

#

Not the dot it applies

broken juniper
#

yeah i got the physical portion part

#

the magic debuff i wasnt sure cause I know the sarkareth debuff is spell blockable

lusty grotto
#

the ONLY dots that are spell blockable in Aberrus are Sarkareth's

broken juniper
#

kk

uncut thunder

zskarn will chunk you, experiments will chunk you

dusky canopy
#

You’re left to the healers mercy

#

It’s unfortunate

jagged pier
#

u need bfa levels for it to do something really

tropic gorge
#

I really like the raid encounter, name I forget but the dude does the triple strike into the tank

broken juniper
#

yeah tbh im scared of mythic zcarn a lot

tropic gorge
#

That so fsr is my favorite boss encounter

lusty grotto
#

echo is the best fight imo

#

the rest are okay

tropic gorge
#

I get bored during the echo fight. Lining up wall kicks is cool and I do like the portal part

#

And dps not stacking and getting shut out always makes me chuckle

uncut thunder
tropic gorge
#

"guess you shouldn't be eye humping the meters"

lusty grotto
#

i mean babysitting dps doesnt mean the fight is bad

#

🤷

azure light
#

Quick question: Does avoidance help reduce periodic dmg from a raid encounter (like oblivion stacks) or is it strictly reducing aoe dmg intake?

lusty grotto
#

aoe only

#

therefore we dont really use it

tropic gorge
#

Ah it's like the rest oft he 3rd stats

azure light
tropic gorge
#

If you get it, cool. If not, whatever

#

Avoidance is very good for dps

#

They should absolutely go for it

#

Esp in keys

ashen coral
#

Ok so I have done the sim for thunderlord as i said before

This time the result was different, I did two sim per talent build, one with single target and one with 5 targets, I forgot to change the time (I put 2 minutes because I thought it was realistic for single target for a M+ boss, I don’t think it would drastically change the result for 30s but maybe I am wrong)

So I lost 1.4% dps on single target by swapping show of force for thunderlord (so with the future buff it may change), and 3.5% dps on aoe

So I do think it could be a good option after tomorrow since currently the dps difference is low, and I also think this little dps doesn’t compensate the gain in survivability and in rage

Here are the links :
-Single target, no tl : https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8to3KZMxofcX9svb7X5sj4
-5 targets, no tl : https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qXB4PdvL2CHr6ohe17Y8Zw
-Single target, tl : https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/1NvcB2s5AUkjVHMAAydU3L
-5 targets, tl : https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tqkS8BWdHi7JuCp7UZXokX

Also, I still have the 2p of the last raid, and I don’t have the 4p of the current raid but only 2p, it could change things because of the revenge which become less needed (and show of force would be less relevant if we use less revenge)
I don’t know if the simulation tries to play around season 1 2p, and the desync of demo with cd could be compensated with the shieldwave which is not synced with demo anyway (so the dps depends less on cd)

lusty grotto
#

if your dps doesnt have avoidance enchants, they are doing it bad

tropic gorge
#

Ya

lusty grotto
#

holy wall of text

tropic gorge
#

Dps needs it. We really dont

lusty grotto
#

thunderlord is a no-go

#

i commend you for looking at numbers but realistically it'd be hard to line up demo shout accurately

Line up with what?

lusty grotto
#

urban portal

mainly shield charge tbh

#

avatar isnt meant to be lined up cuz of AM

#

and you send that shit on cd

if u run TL u send demo on CD

lusty grotto

You just use demo shout on cd usually.

yeah if you're fully socketed out it can get back up to fairly strong, but also there's other good options.

currently i have the verse braces and lariat. should i replace them for something else?

mighty valley

I think you need 8ish sockets across your gear to get lariat back to s1 strength

uncut thunder

spring ermine
#

Well you need all sockets to get lariat back to full strength.

fresh igloo

usually it's unstable frostfire + shadowflame, or shadowflame x2

uncut thunder

craft a neck

should have access to multiple shadowflame sparks by now

uncut thunder
#

Hum. Not bad idea. I had not considered it.

fresh igloo
#

crafted slots are excellent in s2. you can get to 447 ilvl and tune the stats to your desired setup.

#

so unless you are getting mythic raid drops, it's the best option you have for many slots outside of lucky vaults.

What do I do to generate enough rage to have shield block up at the start of a pack if I don't have avatar up when charging in?

#

I know I can use shield charge as one way, but what else?

tropic star
#

if 2peice tier, start with good old last stand/bolster

lusty grotto
#

charge

cinder nova
#

You could charge > shockwave > charge

toxic pewter
#

shockwave, demo shout

lusty grotto
#

realistically charge + 1 devastator hit is usually enough but just fucking go in with last stand

#

i hope you have bolster

modern brook
# harsh haven anyone know?

defensive trinkets generally fall into the same narrow catagory of use. Generally speaking your spellbook and rotation makes you tanky enough for most progression content; so outside of very specific, high end M+ / raid cheeses, defensive trinkets are either a bandaid for poor play, or sit unused/uneeded

urban portal
daring marlin
urban portal
#

lets pretend the cloak gives 30k hp

daring marlin
#

just like avoidance being higher value on dps

urban portal
#

30k hp is like 5% of a DPS hp

toxic pewter
#

I play arms too so I guess Ill still use it

urban portal
#

but its like 2% of a tank hp

toxic pewter
#

the proc also seems to be worse for tank, I mean it procs less I think?

#

not sure

urban portal
#

dont think it should proc less

#

but it doesnt proc much in gen

toxic pewter
#

they should buff it 😄

daring marlin
#

I agree

toxic pewter
#

should get like 30% uptime

daring marlin
#

no

#

20% would be fine

toxic pewter
#

Im fine with 20

Just make it a bit better

acoustic oasis
#

When you select fury for vault, can 1hers and 2hers drop? Or just 1hers?

daring marlin
#

both

acoustic oasis
#

Does the trinket from VP drop from fury?

#

Or just prot

toxic pewter
#

just prot

sick sentinel
#

yeah, its a defensive trinket technically speaking

acoustic oasis
#

Do....do i go fury incase i can get ass candy/memestorm?

sick sentinel
#

because its based on when YOU take dmg

acoustic oasis
#

Or just prot for the trinket/forgestorm

#

I have a 447 non forgestorm, and a 441 trinket.

#

No ass candy

#

😦

toxic pewter
#

what shield do you have

acoustic oasis
#

447 crafted

toxic pewter
#

ok

sick sentinel
#

Tank trinkets = anything that mentions a bunch of armor, a giant heal, an absorb, reducing dmg, or takes effect when you take dmg

cinder storm
#

@blazing condor this lad name/photo always makes my daypeepoHappy

toxic pewter
#

that VP trinket is good, but the raid trinkets for dps are also good .. so I would personally do fury

lusty grotto
#

the only trinket that needs a dps spec is anvil

#

the rest drop for prot

toxic pewter
#

yah I like anvil more than vp trinket personally

sick sentinel

all that stuff, will show up, if u set loot to prot, so you'd get sporepods in underrot say

Sorry if this has been answered, for M+ are we taking the buffed thunderlord talent? going to miss the sync with Shield Charge and other abilities.

good, i didn't like it very much

sick sentinel
#

he says its 25 seconds cd on demo with the new TL

urban portal
#

ive been experimenting with immovable object lately

sick sentinel
#

i dunno what it was with the old TL

urban portal
#

because globals during LS windows are way too tight

#

for me to spam TC

uneven mason
#

Oh you mean DF tl

urban portal
#

original TL was also 1.5/4.5

quiet minnow
#

too many buttons competing to be pressed on pwar

#

esp on pull

urban portal
#

getting a 2nd mini avatar is nice too

#

im not sure if its good

quiet minnow
#

i think thunderlord + immovable object could be a nice middle ground there

#

free up some room for more ss but get some of the same tc reduction so you have globals for it that would otherwise have to go to revenge

#

and more tankiness to boot

daring marlin
#

sounds like you wanna be a warrior with a budget sentinel

quiet minnow
#

not necessarily lol

#

just a thought

uneven mason
quiet minnow
#

yeah i word poorly

strong forum

even with unstoppable force

quiet minnow

more that

right now during ava and ls im not able to hit tc for shit anyways

strong forum
#

ye

quiet minnow
#

so its not really getting as much benefit as id like

#

like what hekili man stated

strong forum
#

IO isnt much of a dps loss

#

assuming you send SW for dmg

urban portal
#

so thats what im referring to

strong forum
#

all it does is shift dmg a tiny bit from TC to revenge

quiet minnow
#

could be nice for forti weeks anyways

strong forum
#

generally also plays more nicely rotationally imo

quiet minnow
#

get a lot more wall uptime

urban portal

so I'll be playing IO from now on

strong forum
#

well its not like IO is needed

urban portal
#

with 4 set

#

got it

quiet minnow
strong forum
#

but its funny how people just forget that talent exists

urban portal
#

it just feels like im never pressing TC during LS+avatar

strong forum
#

when they say "am squish"

#

but kinda ignore the mega talent that is IO

#

for bosses like rashok

#

you can SW every single tank buster

#

and not break even half of a sweat

real thunder
#

When talented into Unstoppable Force and when you are in Avatar with Last Stand up as well, are we just alternating Thunderclap and revenge like normal or does the new tier want us to prioritize SS? This question is specifically for AoE pulls.

frozen rose
#

Anyone have advice on how to use elementium pocket anvil best? Just got. Little unclear on it

real thunder

looked at the wowhead guide and it didn't mention a re-prioritize so im guessing just alternate between thunderclap and revenge

Oh, well my war is only like 410 or 412 so

lusty grotto

and allies etc

frozen rose
#

@warm plinth ya

warm plinth
#

That being said, it sounds like you're simming AoE if it's a 3k difference, which sounds right to me since the grapnel is pretty meh in aoe

#

and having all the dragonflights is pretty big ofc; it's what made icon strong, having all the other roles with it

frozen rose

sim with the obsidian option? +130 secondary stats

No I mean, what does yours say in this right-hand box
