craggy pilot

uneven mason

craggy pilot
#

Vial is alrdy 431 tho

#

#

#

#

crude notch
#

I didn't say shit my guy

#

Dadou did

#

lol

#

smdh

#

back to farming NL for you

craggy pilot
#

oh ye

#

🤣

#

or i just wear Festering Splinter and do poopy dmg but never die

crude notch
#

If it makes you feel any better I got Mark of Dragrul first try on my Warrior earlier

craggy pilot
#

i got Mark of Dargrul on my paladin

#

and Anvil

#

and Forgestorm

#

💔

crude notch
#

Oh and I have grapnel on my warrior too

craggy pilot
#

i was so happy when i saw 97 roll on Bacon

#

i was so sure it was in my bag

crude notch
#

are you 4p at least?

craggy pilot
#

im so mad at that noob evoker who stole it

craggy pilot
#

not the best setup, i still need the helmet

crude notch
#

Yeah my pwar literally started gearing this week and if I get tier in my vault I'll have 4p on Tuesday

craggy pilot
#

i think best to replace is Legs no?

craggy pilot
#

i took socket 2 weeks in a row now

#

got only capes

crude notch
#

How disappointing that's not in faq

#

You raid and M+ and you're only getting cloaks?

craggy pilot
craggy pilot
#

lemme try to find picture of my vault

crude notch
#

There's gonna be a defacto piece you'll drop for sure

craggy pilot
#

this week

crude notch
#

Is there a slot that's vers/mast? that's probably what you'll drop.

craggy pilot
#

last week

#

was actually tempted to take the 441 2h 🤣

crude notch
#

Is your current weapon 441?

#

Nope

#

Could've been a free upgrade

craggy pilot
#

437 Forgestorm

craggy pilot
#

its Arms wep bro

crude notch
#

yes

craggy pilot
#

i dont play Arms 😄

crude notch
#

2H unlocks 1h+oh

craggy pilot
#

my Forgestorm is 8/8 Champion

#

cant be upgraded

crude notch
#

I'm saying the next forgestorm you got could've been upgraded to 441 without the aspect

crude notch
#

AND you don't have annulet

#

wtf

#

bracers not enchanted smdh

craggy pilot
#

i just crafted them yesterday haha

crude notch
#

I have all my sparks rn on my warrior waiting until vault before I start crafting things.

#

Get a non-helm non-chest tier piece on Tuesday from vault and I can slam 447 Shadowflame chest piece.

craggy pilot
#

made my Frostfire belt 447 🙂

#

now all my focus is rings/trinkets, and vault

#

and just waiting for my guildie to come back to make STR gem for my neck

#

or should probably put Str gem in my Belt 🤔

crude notch
#

Slamming 4 crafted pieces on Tuesday will feel great

quiet minnow
#

Could also make haste trinket

#

If you have plenty of sockets

#

Which you do

crude notch
#

does he?

quiet minnow
#

Only one he’s missing is helm

#

Belt, both rings, wrist

#

Would be 36 ilvl increase in str and a pretty considerable haste boost

waxen vale
#

I got 2 dope weapons with avoidance/speed so i tried going fury and did 36k in nelth lair

#

Tbf fair tho i was dead half the time. Not usually my fsult

#

Terrible tank doing bad pulls and swinging frontals around and bad heals

crude notch
#

you're quite the piece of work debit

waxen vale
#

I'm not lying

#

Definitely was eye opening seeing boss 1 though from a melee dps perspective

#

He made sure to cover the entire platform with sht

#

Just cuz of that boss allone i assume u never want more than 1 mele dps

crude notch
#

Do you know how first boss works?

night scroll
#

Make sure to seize on the purple dance floor

waxen vale
#

Yea ofc i know, kill adds

#

Have you ever tried that as a melee dps

#

When i tank it i try to get as many as possible to die under boss then move him so theres always space

#

But even so its probably hard to for melee to swap

sick sentinel
#

no idea why, but monk said they get 5 fps on evry boss in vp

#

so he flopped and now that key did a big flop

waxen vale
#

that sucks

#

i have a shitty laptop and the only part of DF dungeons I drop frames heavily is the gauntlet in halls

#

ig altarius can be a big choppy

#

and 1st boss a bit

sick sentinel
#

mostly farming for champion gear and wyrm crests, but i want heart and X (talisman or ???) , also gloves, chest, better cloak

craggy pilot
night heron
#

Hello! I was wondering if for 23 and above tyrannical keys it'd be worth taking ST Onyx annulet instead of a 441 M+ ring, just for the additionnal damage on bosses?

waxen vale
#

if you like looking at your ILVL and seeing it be trash

#

xd

#

i just use a 447 and its better in all cases than annulet

sick sentinel
#

Would you guys rock anchor or dargul with OCE on m+

#

Feel like the str on anchor and burst AOE is better than darguls procs

quiet minnow
#

I like anchor for certain ones like vp and bh a lot

#

Big prio damage

sick sentinel
#

i wonder whats worse trinket..... 437 signoll or 437 spore pods, i have both

waxen vale
#

prob pods

#

pods is kind of a defensive trinket though not bad in that regard

sick sentinel
#

both seem equally as bad, need heart of thunder or anvil

waxen vale
#

heart of thunder is trash too

dusky canopy
#

Yo guys for the diablo event in wow do i just run around any major city?

sick sentinel
#

i even saw one in the open world

#

showed up in plains

waxen vale
#

so in reality i think using anchor well gives u more dps

#

and priority as noted

#

and of course strength

sick sentinel
#

grapnel?

waxen vale
#

yea

sick sentinel
#

i don't know if i want the boat anchor or not

quiet minnow
#

call to chaos works for tc only?

#

or rather, which abilities does it all work with

fresh igloo
#

Grapnel and anvil are my usual trinkets of choice.

craggy pilot
#

honestly this season seems really bad for trinkets 🤔

#

very few good ones

waxen vale
#

thats pretty unpopular opinion

#

id say

left basalt
waxen vale
#

maybe its simming wrong then

left basalt
#

It is

#

Usually 6-7% of damage done in 16+

waxen vale
#

thts vs cragshaper

#

but ig its wrong

#

i dont have a dps trink yet on warr

#

so ig id take it

night heron
waxen vale
#

but do u have socketed 447

#

of good stats

#

i think that might beat annulet

#

like wyrm matron or nelth ring mythic

night heron
#

Yeah I'll have to check it out, but the 447 items i got from vault were not ring so far :/

frosty mist
#

damn, got an 1h axe 441 in the last vault and now I'm droping forgestorm in +16 (437 max), it's still a upgrade but why droping now 😢

tired girder
#

Rng Blizzard.
My theory is that this RNG is not a RNG at All.

sick sentinel
#

TL;DR rng aka peusdo RNG is not RNG at all like you say

timber nest
#

prot warrior builds still the same?

sick sentinel
#

but, for the vast vast majority of cases iits used in, never becomes an issue.

#

haha

tender carbon
#

Hey guys, I love prot, still in baby keys, but enjoy tank and dps - is allied wrist guards + shadowflame patch a decent combo for prot and/or fury?

nocturne spindle
#

double shadowflame is better

strong forum
#

boblins still spawn?

dusky mica
#

yeah they added a week to it I think

#

Greedy Emissary event will be active from May 25, 2023 at 10:00 AM to June 14, 2023 at 10:00 AM

sick sentinel
toxic pewter
#

Grats

sick sentinel
#

gunna be able to start looting in fury soon

dusky mica
#

shouldn't play with All the things active tbh, it murders your fps!

sick sentinel
#

but it makes the noise when i collect a thing.....

dusky mica
#

the hearthstone loot addon is better for that tbh

sick sentinel
#

i dunno, i only ever known this addon

#

700 some versa after i pump it to 437, only 597, not even 600, weak.

dusky mica
#

what's your other trinket going to be?

sick sentinel
#

i have these for current trinkets

#

top row all but treemouth is 437, treemouth is 424 veteran

torn gulch
#

upgrade treemouth asap

#

and play treemouth and heart

#

then try to get mark

#

the rest is noise more or less

sick sentinel
#

is heart of thunder good or baad lol

#

ive seen people say either

torn gulch
#

decent

#

it slightly worse because of vers instead of strenght

sick sentinel
#

it calms the pug brain

#

because versa reduces dmg which is a tank thing

#

its dumb, but some of them think that way

torn gulch
#

versa is way too overrated

#

some people still live in the bfa days

#

of 100% vers

sick sentinel
#

had a set of gear in bfa that was like 15% avoidance

torn gulch
#

20% leech 100% vers or 20% leech and tier 7 twilight dev

#

corruption post vendor was actually fun

hardy snow
#

vers is beter for raid, crit is better for M+

#

but difference isnt big

sick sentinel
#

twilight devestation needs to remain locked up forever now

#

it was way too much overpowered

torn gulch
#

full blood dk raid with full twilight dev

#

did all the wayto carapace

#

broken

#

on mythic

#

and the hp essence

restive scroll
#

Alchemical flavor pocket still does not adds an embelishment, right ?
(So I could have shadowflame + belt + Alchemical flavor pocket)

fresh igloo
#

yes

restive scroll
#

Neat, thanks !

loud cave
#

Is there a best loot spec to use?

mighty valley
#

usually depends on the trinkets you're looking for from a dungeon

#

and whether you're still looking for a shield if you haven't crafted one

sick sentinel
#

vial of blood vs fragment?

#

equal ilvl probably 437 for me

rustic latch
#

hey are you guys still using the lariat?

fresh igloo
#

nope

rustic latch
#

what did you go with instead of the lariat?

fresh igloo
#

you probably want shadowflame x2 or shadowflame+ unstable frostfire belt

rustic latch
#

what you mean shadowflame x2?

#

you just talking about the patch?

fresh igloo
#

two embellishments

timid thicket
#

Got absolute shit in my vault but I gör beacon from weekly quests so I'm happy again

fresh igloo
#

of the shadowflame armor patch

timid thicket
#

Next week is spark week again right?

rustic latch
#

still trying to decide which neck to hunt down lol

sick sentinel
#

so, we are gunna be spending a long time in lair because there is 3 trinkets there, 2 of which are pretty good i undestand

#

Is there a guide for talent swaps? Trying to get better at swapping based on dungeons

mortal brook
#

wowhead should have separate builds for each dungeon

jagged pier
#

i mean theres 2 dungeons u want Spell block and thats nels and ulda

#

and the talents for the rest and which talents to swap out for spell block are in the pins

#

apart from that all that talents dont really change dungeon to dungeon

#

we have no space to allow variance really

modern gazelle
#

Anything for nelth lair?

jagged pier
#

well u can take spell block if u want there

#

it can help but literally only for sunders that u dont spell reflect

modern gazelle
#

Okay thanks

rustic latch
#

i know we can only have 2 embelishments but is there a cap on crafted gear?

vocal nimbus
#

No

#

The cap are the sparks

#

Is*

#

Or are

#

Hm

modern gazelle
#

Neck is 3rd crafted piece worth using right

vocal nimbus
#

Depends on your gear

rustic latch
#

i have a 437 crest from the quest and my old lariat is my lowest piece right now i might just upgrade the lariat for now my next aspect is gonna be going towards the belt

jagged pier
#

ull need a spark to do that

#

please dont waste a spark on lariat

rustic latch
#

yeah didnt think about that lol

vocal nimbus
#

My sparks are shadowflame patch shield, frostfire belt and non lariat neck if that helps you

rustic latch
#

which shield did you go with?

restive scroll
#

regualr stats

modern gazelle
#

Primal defender

sick sentinel
#

Does the crafted shield count as embellishment?

modern gazelle
#

Yes

sick sentinel
#

Is it better than double shadowflame patch

modern gazelle
#

Put shadow armor embellish

#

No you craft the shield with shadow flame patch

jagged pier
#

there are 3 shields 2 of them count as embleishments

#

u want to craft primal molten defender

#

u dont need to put anything on it if u dont want to u can put armour patch somewhere else

sick sentinel
#

I have two crafted armor pieces already

#

With shadowflame

modern gazelle
#

Then just do shield without embellish

sick sentinel
#

Okay cool

modern gazelle
#

Primal molten defender

sick sentinel
#

Cant decide of shield or ring

#

Titanic signet

modern gazelle
#

Shield 100%

sick sentinel
#

You guys just go crit haste on shield?

modern gazelle
#

It’s BiS outside 1 other shield I think

rain yew
#

Does avatar+ demo shout buff spell reflect damage?

jagged pier
#

no

modern gazelle
#

I did crit haste. Think haste vers is also good

lyric compass
#

are you meant to run beacon alongside another on-use trinket? got beacon and grapple rn

jagged pier
#

if anything demo will reduce its damage as u reduce the damage the mob is doing

#

so the spell will be less

sick sentinel
#

I have a 437 crit haste nelth shield rn

rain yew
#

Thanks Jakey

lyric compass
#

do people macro them into a castsequence thing? or just 2 different buttons

jagged pier
sick sentinel
#

Ah i see

modern gazelle
#

What’s everyone thoughts on ward of faceless ire? I got it as my first 437 item from doing 4 mythic dungeons quest and love it but wondering if anyone else uses it

jagged pier
#

u use it if u need it, its a defensive trinket

#

if playing correctly u wont need it outside of high keys

modern gazelle
#

I like it for saving party members a lot of the time

#

Rather than myself

jagged pier
#

if thats why your using it then thats bad

modern gazelle
#

I mean I like it on myself too but it’s clutch when someone messes up and or something

frosty mist
#

Question, brutal vitality or fueled by violence ? Is kinda the same ?

warm plinth
#

BrV is still recommended.

frosty mist
#

ok

oblique quarry
#

Ngl, i meta chased and went back to my paladin. Ran some keys last night and was averaging the same dps as my pally 30 item levels lower. These buffs feel very substantial

loud cave
#

I must be messing up my DPS rotation because I seem to have trouble cracking 30k DPS at ilvl 392.

just ripped aggro off bdk on first boss heroic

Thats usual

and you should never make this trade

novel cloak
#

are best m+ boots still the UR ones?

#

sometihng flora stompers?

toxic pewter
#

i just crafted some boots

mellow bridge
#

it's one of the best things you could do on tyrannical weeks

proper roost
strong forum
#

for push keys its good

#

but for your rnd weekly key

#

its quite whack

proper roost
#

just use the partywide 250k shield wq trinket that surely won't be nerfed

torn gulch
#

what?

torn gulch
proper roost
#

It will be nerfed insanely quickly and doesn't matter

#

Chill

#

that was my joke ty

(I also have a vested interest in abusing it this week ty)

waxen vale
#

what is like our ideal comp? I assume it has a monk dps for debuff, and a lot of physical dam

craggy pilot
#

on last boss Nelth, do you kill the add or no?

waxen vale
#

no

#

just stun

proper roost
#

You mostly just care about windfury's existence. MW and WW aren't very good in keys generally and also not very popular anyway

#

a universal ideal comp isn't a thing it's different per dungeon and the pwar or not is extremely irrelevant

#

And also giga pipe dream to even think you'd be recruiting a perfect 4 stack for the warrior

waxen vale
#

i thought that A enhancedoesnt use windfury in dungeons and B nextback for example neverh as one

proper roost
#

The best key groups in the world settle for suboptimal comps

#

Just play the game

waxen vale
#

that is part of the game tho

#

i enjoy making comps

#

its part of strategy

waxen vale
#

trash

#

ill even go so far as to say compared to cragshaper it' gigatrash

#

barely does any damage for twice the CD

#

and basically does the same thign

#

is what this random enhance told me true thoe that they dont drop windfury anymore

craggy pilot
#

on last boss Nelth is it beneficial to save lust for shield bonus?

mighty valley
#

you gotta be more specific than "nelth" this season

craggy pilot
#

neltharus

#

and did they fix the picking up 2 items?

mighty valley
#

she gets a % vulnerability right? i'd slam lust then, sure

craggy pilot
#

im playing 1 key on this boss in Arms, and cant get fucking past this boss

#

+16min on +18 now

mighty valley
#

what's killing you, is no one else throwing a weapon

#

if you have a curse cleanse, and people pre-grab weapons, the fight should be pretty controlled

craggy pilot
#

were just straight dying to shield every time

sick sentinel
#

first boss of lair, add has to die, but i have to taunt it? and go to it and attack it? or no? let dps kill it, but only after i taunt?

craggy pilot
#

does the curse do a lot of dmg?

#

like 10k pr sec?

mighty valley
#

people can pre-cast and move while casting

#

if people are dying during shield they're straight up not paying attention

#

the curse used to be real bad but i think it got nerfed

#

still good to check in with the healer how it's feeling

#

and stagger out weapon pickups

craggy pilot
mighty valley
#

the shield phase can last such a short time

sullen gust
hazy bronze
#

Some people don't know you can move while casting and get stuck in a swirlie I've noticed

craggy pilot
#

we have someone running away from mob at the same time 😄

mighty valley
#

the add? it moves like a snail

#

slow it, cc it, it dies to cleave

craggy pilot
#

we have only 1 ranged

#

boomie druid

#

2 arms warr

sullen gust
craggy pilot
#

the amount of swirleys

#

even if the shield just lasts 5 second

#

i hate when i get the item that is a "place this circle"

#

and i have no idea 🤣

#

and trying to precast the item

#

and having no idea if i did it too early or if i actually hit it 🤣

#

fuck man

#

and isnt the casttime of the spell based on haste as well?

#

so i cant even tell when to precast it

mental scarab
#

You pop it 2/3 of the cast when he does the shield

#

And be a Good tank and take 2

the wand is quick

the flower is around your char so you gotta be close

proper roost
#

the first s2 weakaura I got was a neltharus treasure one

ember tangle
#

the blueish thingy is a charge

proper roost
#

🤷

#

pretty easy to fix the "idk what treasure i got" problem

#

if u literally think that ONE TIME you should immediately get a weakaura for that thing right after the dungeon

ember tangle
#

imo they should have removed the charge instead of the boots

proper roost
#

and considering that boss is the last boss kinda no excuse not to remember to get it

#

the actual reason they removed the boots is because of the bug where it didn't go away lol

ember tangle
#

oh lol

proper roost
#

just were too lazy to fix it

ember tangle
#

it was quite a bit of visual clutter tbf

#

but the charge can be suicidal at times

#

especially if you precast it

ran nelth call to chaos in a 18bh ended up with 30% uptime for 2381 str-- comes to like 714str and 616 crit at 444 if you include the out of combat t ime into the calc

more like prob 730-750 or so str if you take out the key downtime

but it is technically a dps increase if all you care about is dps, which I often do but I just really dislike the cloak

icy atlas
#

Welp I do like big numbies

strong forum
#

its useless in m+

#

cuz it requires your party to take dmg

#

and it resets its procs once you leave combat

#

so you only get 2-5 procs per dungeon from it

#

in raid its ok cuz someone else frequently takes dmg and you dont drop combat obv

icy atlas
#

Makes sense

and its usually better for them to take agro off you anyway so you dont get swamped by poison pools

toxic pewter
tardy lily
#

he is referreing to stamina loss over a normal cloak

sick sentinel
#

Oh i never noticed that

#

Eh its highest ilvl for me

tardy lily
#

i actually never checled buff uptime. and procc rate but that is astonishing to hear

toxic pewter
#

Yeah dont get me wrong I am not a huge stam guy or anything but 40k feels kinda bad, lol, got like brewmaster healthpool over here

lusty grotto
#

its good for raids

tardy lily
#

also shows agains how sims can deceibe real scenarios

lusty grotto
#

like bis probably

#

just not for keys

tardy lily
#

or rather don't

sick sentinel
#

When i wear it the procs will still be on my while im in valdrakken waiting for the next key

lusty grotto
#

the real problem is there arent any high haste cloaks this season so, im probably gonna up a crafted

sick sentinel
#

Still cant decide on anchor vs dargul

lusty grotto
#

mark

thorny finch
#

is undulating sporecloak a bad embellishment for us?

lusty grotto
#

yes

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
#

when i say crafted, i mean the old vanilla one

sick sentinel
#

My other trinket is ominous

lusty grotto
#

vibrant wildercloth

#

yes mark

#

anchor grapnel is great but mark outdpses it iirc

#

err not anchor

#

grapnel

#

if thats what you mean

#

wait which one are you talking about lmao

novel cloak
#

is it possible for burning writ 3 to sim higher than shadowflame wreath? cos thats what my raidbots is showing unless i am doing something wrong.

sick sentinel
#

Im talking about grapnel

#

Its an anchor on the art

lusty grotto
#

yeah i went by that too lmao

#

mark is slightly ahead

#

not by a lot but min maxing calls for mark

lusty grotto
#

and for what specifically? ST or aoe?

modern gazelle
lusty grotto
#

you use it

#

basically in place of revenge

#

on less than 3 targets iirc

#

since it also resets SS

graceful kite
modern gazelle
#

also i feel like most of the time i have slam or thunderclap up in m+, we prio clap over revenge right?

nocturne spindle
#

yes

lusty grotto
#

yes

nocturne spindle
#

more rage = more DEEPS

modern gazelle
#

cause some pulls i get so many procs i basically cant cast revenge it feels like

lusty grotto
#

please dont be that guy from the other day

modern gazelle
#

wdym?

lusty grotto
#

ok you're not

modern gazelle
#

i just dump rage into ip and block but there are def pulls where i am casting revenge 1/3 the amount

lusty grotto
#

lol that was a roast

#

idk what kind of rng youre having but i def use revenge quite a lot

modern gazelle
#

i use it a lot usually, just sometimes you get that rng and wasnt sure if spamming clap+slam is better in those cases

#

in particular with avatar and high proc chance its like 99% clap+slam

lusty grotto
#

it is

#

well

#

no

#

its 30% to proc SS

#

see strategist

#

youre just getting lucky

modern gazelle
#

i meant like high rng

nocturne spindle
#

its less that your spamming clap

#

and more that your getting more slams

#

more slams is better than more revenges

lusty grotto
#

but yes revenge has less prio than both of those

modern gazelle
#

alright just wanted to be sure

lusty grotto
#

is what i meant when i said "it is"

modern gazelle
#

also what sim settings do you run on raidbots to check for m+

lusty grotto
#

5 patchwerks, no lust, 1 min or 1.5 mins

#

make sure you have any buffs that your team has selected

#

or disabled if you just pug

#

i.e. monk buff etc

modern gazelle
#

is it top gear?

lusty grotto
#

top gear is for gear

#

what do you want to check?

#

just dps numbers? quick sim

modern gazelle
#

when you get a new drop, simming to check what is better

lusty grotto
#

top gear sure

modern gazelle
#

what about these settings

crude notch
#

Raid buffs

#

remove them

lusty grotto
#

you have every buff enabled

novel cloak
#

i mean which sim

modern gazelle
#

yeah i just read that, meant the trinkets

#

no option to remove

crude notch
#

well do you have the trinkets?

lusty grotto
novel cloak
#

m+

crude notch
#

if you don't have the trinkets you don't gaf about the options for the trinkets

lusty grotto
modern gazelle
lusty grotto
crude notch
#

Then you don't have to worry about it

novel cloak
crude notch
#

As a wise anime character once said

modern gazelle
#

so top gear + these settings for m+

novel cloak
lusty grotto
#

burning writ is crit

#

so it'll sim higher

#

but it might inconsistent in keys because you have downtime and rngesus

#

most of us use sophic @novel cloak

modern gazelle
#

alright maybe im dumb but i cant find the gem for neck in the ah, its the Crafty Ysemerald correct?

lusty grotto
#

yea

modern gazelle
#

idk waht im doing wrong then, or there is literally no gems available

#

then i click search

we dont talk about it

sick sentinel

the VP trinket did 5 million dmg in an 11

was thinking if i should farm some +11 Lair/VP for trinkets just to get them 437, or if i should do them +17 for it to be 441 🤔

#

the speed and ease of getting into +11 vs the ilvl of a potentially failed +17 🤣

sick sentinel
#

11 VP's are hold W can't lose

lusty grotto
sick sentinel
#

i will not say VP is easier than FH , but its close

toxic pewter
#

I mean its literally like not a huge difference in the end and doesnt matter though lmao

toxic pewter
#

anyone know why the first boss of BH either goes smoothly or is a disaster? Is it a healing check boss or what

#

is it gashtooth going around putting bleed on everyone or what

crude notch
#

Does the healer know they have to heal the bleed above 90%?
Does the tank know they have to stand between the boss and the target for charge?
Does the DPS know they have to burst the totem?

If yes to all of these, then you're set usually.
If no to any of these, then disaster usually.

lusty grotto
#

dont forget to spell reflect disorient

#

and you can intervene the jump as well

toxic pewter
#

whoa you can spell reflect the totem disorient?

lusty grotto
#

yes

toxic pewter
toxic pewter
lusty grotto
#

1st boss is the dangerous boss there tbh

#

nothing else

sick sentinel
#

must be something in halls that dragons really want

toxic pewter
#

so intervene also works?

sick sentinel
#

3 of them in 1 group

toxic pewter
#

is it needed if you stand on the arrow though? I guess it still does damage to the guy?

#

prob trinket

lusty grotto
#

not for arrow

#

the jump

#

you have to intervene before the cast

#

btw

toxic pewter
#

ohhh the jump that applies the bleed?

sick sentinel
#

i need to get the haste cloak from vp

lusty grotto
#

no

#

theres 2 jumps

toxic pewter
#

ok

lusty grotto
#

one on the entire group 1 by 1

#

that applies the bleed

#

theres another where he pounces a person

#

you can intervene it, if you do it before the cast

toxic pewter
#

Ok, how do I know who he is puncing on

#

is it shown

lusty grotto
#

he casts

toxic pewter
#

Ok

#

thats pretty good

lusty grotto
#

its called marked for butchery

#

btw you should always be killing that dumb rogue first

#

caster 2nd

#

decayed senses you reflect, which is the disorient

#

make sure your group knows that Gashtooth needs to die first

toxic pewter
#

yeah wahts the deal with pistol shot

#

it kills people sometimes

lusty grotto
#

you cant fucking line it anymore

toxic pewter
#

is there anything i can do for that

lusty grotto
#

intervene if they dont have a personal

#

that's about it

toxic pewter
#

damn i really need to start running intervene lol

lusty grotto
#

intervene is so fucking good this season

#

in a lot of dungeons too

toxic pewter
#

yah seems I am messing up not taking it

lusty grotto
#

i run intervene in BH, UR and FH

#

fixates on trash and abilities on bosses that can be intervened

#

UR doesnt have any bosses that it can be used on but it helps on the dumb fixates

#

from bloodswarmers

#

BH and FH both have stuff on bosses that can be intervened and trash that fixates as well

what do you drop for intervene?

lusty grotto

its better than relying on 5 min bops

So i was reading up on the pins and i noticed the use spellblock for "Neltharus and Uldaman" what part of Uldaman we benefit me from spell block talent and also what talent should i change to get spell block?

toxic pewter
#

osnap just got prot warr hidden artifact appearance

#

walked into cave and it was there 😮

modern gazelle
#

if i want forgestorm should i change my loot spec at all?

#

for higher chance

toxic pewter
#

prob just remain prot spec is best

#

cancels out 2h weapon and dps trinket from dropping instead of forgestorm perhaps

#

then again enables shield to drop also

hardy snow
#

craft 447 shield so you dont have to open in prot spec okayge

toxic pewter
#

Oh i thought he meant in literally neltharus

proper roost
#

447 forgestorm tho

toxic pewter
#

yah obv one from vault is best

sick sentinel
#

i gotta do at least one 14 or so this week

#

amybe some greaterer diversity besides just VP, but it does have my cloak

lusty grotto
#

neltharus from molten slashes etc

#

and i use it on HoI on fort because the icecallers can be spicy

#

but since it is such a small part of the dungeon its likely not needed

#

with a decent team you can just SR their shit and stun in between cds

#

regarding talents you can drop bloodsurge but if you feel like rage income isnt really good, you can drop battering ram instead

#

i just wouldnt touch punish, its too good for tyrannical week on those dungeons

crude notch
modern gazelle
#

feelsgood

#

was with someone that didnt know mechanic on last boss, so we failed key, but still got the dps storm so its lit

sick sentinel
#

Got a 441 as dps felt bad for the tank

#

But i kept itpurpleface

violet flume
#

the chain boss in neltharus, how do you guys handle chains? pop them all at once? one at a time and wait for debuff to drop?

modern gazelle
modern gazelle
warm plinth
violet flume
#

but generally delayed pops is better

#

i take it

warm plinth
#

Well, it just depends. Like I'm sure some high keyers still break 2 but some lower keys you might have to stagger them all because the healer can't keep up

violet flume
#

i started doing +16s and this shaman couldnt heal and warrior dps told me "yes lmao" after i asked if i shouldve delayed chains

#

you know what ill just delay it, i somehow thought he was pumping constant aoe damage during that phase but its only 6yards around him lmao

modern gazelle
#

i feel like i hold shield wall too much, how often are you guys casting it?

violet flume
#

im a pug normie so i dont want to take chances

#

i pop shieldwall the second i feel my hp goes down a bit too fast

#

its back up so fast with proper talents anyway

#

or i use it when i know something heavy hitting is coming and might kill me

modern gazelle
#

yeah thats my issue, i feel like its up so fast but i just dont use it often enough

#

i use it on tank busters for sure or if i want to do a big pull, but i dont use it when doing stuff where i feel im not in danger even though it will prob be back up by time i need it again

oblique quarry
#

Are paladins supposed to be lower damage or am I goofing up? I am at 439 ilvl and tend to avg 60k dps. My prot warrior is doing about 70k dps on avg at 427 ilvl. Both have 4 pc and non bis trinkets. Haven't been logging this season as im taking it easy.

violet flume
#

imo dont feel too bad about not minmaxing shieldwall uptime, its a short storng cooldown its not meant to be as high as possible in uptime

modern gazelle
#

i know i dont use last stand enough either but i also dont have bolster yet so i cant spam it quite yet

violet flume
#

yeah and when you get the tier bonus where you want to use laststand for damage you really want to have shieldwall as a fallback for those "ohfuck" moments

modern gazelle
#

last stand for damage?

long chasm
violet flume
#

tier bonus makes last stand shoot shockwaves when you shieldslam

modern gazelle

whats the avg dps for peoples sims?

Probably a faq but roughly how much % damage was the buffs this week overall

modern gazelle
#

think they said in the patch note. It was 8%

proper roost
#

can only speak for rsham and prevoker but both of those want 2-1

#

if you're in a 20 or lower pug you should definitely just stagger all individually unless you know for sure the healer can handle it

violet flume
#

thats my case hah

proper roost
#

Just feel out your groups hp on magmatusk

violet flume
#

ill prob stagger all yeah

proper roost
#

if it seems like healer is reacting and slow, then don't ask and just 1-1-1

violet flume
#

well see maybe ill get used to the dungeon more as i progress

lusty grotto
#

my rsham can heal 3 just fine

#

in fact he yells at me if i wait

proper roost
#

if your group never drops below 80% then the healer is properly prepared and you should ask the healer if you should do 2-1 as you go in

violet flume
#

this rsham couldnt 3 on +16 so yeah 😛

#

doesnt help i had issues breaking 3rd chain and prob refreshed the 2stack near the end

#

that jump the boss does is what messed me

proper roost

ya its always a jump on you right after, very predictable

welcome to the club

toxic pewter
#

Not sure what is going on

violet flume
#

as an exclusive pugger i find getting in +20s last season super hard

lusty grotto
#

cant compete with too much utility

violet flume
#

was really easy once i got all +20s done but lol my goal was accomplished

#

obviosuly blizzard should give us more utility to compensate

#

..right?

lusty grotto
#

the obvious answer is probably another damage buff

#

idk about utility, we've had a lot of good ideas here, but i doubt blizzard wants to shake up the utility game

#

people just dont know intervene is a better version of bop

#

🙂

violet flume
#

im still mad intervene is a talent it should be baseline grr

lusty grotto
#

berserker rage

violet flume
#

shits baseline since BC then bam its a talent

#

berserker rage too yeah

lusty grotto

thats the one i get most mad about, thankfully there's not a lot of fears in keys this past 2 seasons

if you tank him by the next, then the charge only happens from one spot and you can basically ignore the mechanic

smh why are you not micromanaging every little aspect to make it easier for your braindead teammates

look at the first screen

You tank him here, not where the poop is

and i was omw

If you tank him there (or near there), the bird will basically always charge here to where the arrow is pointing

anyone have a smart trick to Reflect all Sunder on 2nd boss Lair? The castbar is so fuckin short i miss like half of them

#

and every time i try to preuse Spell Reflect, he doesnt cast sunder because of spell queue :<

craggy pilot
#

is there some pattern to when he skips, and when he doesnt?

cinder nova
#

yeah it's spellque, so be ready based on timers

#

it's not on GCD and almost nothing else in that fight requires your accute attention

craggy pilot
#

even when i tend to be fast based on timers, and he does Sunder, i miss it like half the time

#

the cast is like 0.5sec or some shit

cinder nova
#

idk then, this is probably the most unironic skill issue I can toss

#

Just practice on M0

craggy pilot
#

oh lol 0.3 😄

#

tried to precast it when the timer was coming up, and then he just did Strike of the Mountain in my face

and fucking went into pillar phase

good morning warriors! I kindly wanted some info, if I put shadowflame tempered armor patch x2 as embellishment, does the damage add up? does % damage increase? I currently use shadowflame tempered armor patch x1 and fang adornments x1 which on the details at the end of the keys give me the same damage or 3.5%

crude notch
#

Yes double Shadowflame will give you double the damage from Shadowflame throughout an encounter.

misty sail
#

what can "intervene" be used for in Brackenhide=? First Boss the Bleed?

ember tangle
#

first boss fixate

#

trash mobs fixate

#

althought that one is easier to just stun

craggy pilot
misty sail
#

indeed

craggy pilot
#

so should almost never go through

ember tangle
#

i guess you can also intervene the hyena fixate

misty sail
#

yep

ember tangle
#

although on the boss the hyenas hit hella hard

#

when they enrage

#

so it's really better to just trap them

#

but on the big patrol guy with 4 hyenas it makes it really easy

misty sail
#

we skip them

i have killed them before just because the patrolling was badly timed

on tyrannical keys or something

You take the damage

But it gets reduced by your defenses

so is this VP trinket really stonks

#

man there are so many good trinkets this patch

jagged gust
#

What do you trade to grab intervene? Cry seems like the obvious choice to me

sullen gust
#

Or I tend to drop honed reflexes (the one that reduces SS and pummel by 1s)

#

Just as general flex points

jagged gust
#

Oh I already have that unslotted, I read about sidearm earlier but... idk ive never found a situation where im saving someone with my cry or it saved me

#

maybe im just no that good yet tho

#

though yeah sidearm is basically just a free revenge every 8-10 seconds, not exactly making or breaking an encounter

sick sentinel
#

ooooh dragonst is getting salvation

sullen gust
#

I find it's good value for in Neltharus for example, the volatile cast of the mammoth on 5 stacks, or when then Chains come out on 2nd boss, or the big AOE cast on Gorek (like the 2nd/3rd when healer might have less CDs) and once casting the treasure on final boss. Chances are you won't necessarily see when it saves people, but extra % health might give the healer one more GDC in a situation to save a wipe or dps survive a swirly. Worst cast, you'll be gaining a fuck ton of health as a defensive for yourself

jagged gust
#

Yeah I find myself agreeing with you, I shouldn't be turning down extra utility in any case, especially when the argument is vs a <1% dps increase

sullen gust
#

I dont find many mobs have fixates dangerous enough where I would want to take intervene over using the CC of storm bolt, shockwave and maybe int shout if it's an interrupt heave affix week

#

Maybe brackenhide? The first boss has a kinda spooky fixate I could see it being worth taking against

sick sentinel
#

heart of thunder can crit

#

1 shot some poor birdy boy that aggro'd me while doing random quests

#

There's nothing more satisfying

#

I love throwing an axe then watching the mob randomly take 150k in procs

sick sentinel
#

seems like its getting some kind of other buff too, cuz it hit for ... 2555 more than what it should have i wonder if thats due to versa...

jagged gust
#

Maybe? Does vers apply before the crit is calculated?

sick sentinel

the non crit number checks out

We can craft or buy anywhere?

What is that macro someone was talking about to bind ignore pain to shield block or something?

/cast ignore pain
/cast shield slam

#

#

only with SS

Should i just replace that with shield slam on my bar?

hardy snow
#

no, you replace it with ignore pain

Oh ok cool thanks

#

It works without a target?

hardy snow
#

IP part does

#

It at range

#

And also if it's on gcd

#

Basically if it can't cast one it all cast the other ig

#

IP is off GCD

#

Ig

#

hardy snow
#

it just makes that it queues SS if you have proc etc.
