for me annulet fell off at 7 targets

hollow hill
#

oh sorry you're right

#

So always for raid but once you have 2 440+ you can get rid of it for M+

dusky canopy
#

its gear dependant so you have to sim to get a solid idea of where youre at

warm plinth
#

Kinda. You actually get a decent bit of value in aoe too

#

So could also depend on the dungeon

#

e.g. VP you tend to have pretty small pulls

hollow hill
#

Gotcha, thanks!

pallid quiver
#

What did i miss, what kind of story

round pendant
#

This seems scummy to me

#

Oops wrong channel

crude notch
#

Yeah get out of here

#

But agreed

#

But also as pointed out that's way too many assets for it to be "just" shop related.

round pendant
#

How long until they add like 3 1k items so you're forced to spend real money if you want the nice stuff each month

warm plinth
#

We already had two 900 items this month right?

#

Plus a mog set

round pendant
#

Yeah but we got a free 1k or whatever in April

#

Still sketch tho

warm plinth
#

you get 1k every month though

round pendant
#

Yea I know

cerulean tusk
#

I don't mind as long I get my warden mog noahwhite

crude notch
#

I ain't worried about it.

round pendant
#

But every month has some nice stuff for 1k so most people spend it

#

They're gonna add like 2-3 nice things for 1k each and if you want them you better pay up

crude notch
#

I'm already sitting on 2.4k

#

So it ain't no biggie to me

cerulean tusk
#

I spent around 400, I took some capes and not seen anything after that

#

It ain't fullplate, I sleep

crude notch
#

And as long as it's purely cosmetic idgaf

round pendant
#

Since there's no way to know what's coming up, you either sacrifice things that are on it NOW in the hopes that nicer things come up, or you spend money

#

It's fomo bullshit yet again

crude notch
#

Certainly not the first game or time monetizing cosmetics

cerulean tusk
#

Ya can freeze an item tho

warm plinth
#

Well, to be fair they've already said that shit will come back around

#

so there shouldn't be any need for fomo

round pendant
#

Well without an idea on the rotation that's just a kinda meaningless statement from them

cerulean tusk
#

Can't blame them for expanding the waters for 🐳 hunting

crude notch

#

Failing to see where I've lost my shit here lol

cerulean tusk
#

He wanna fight, just oblige

dusky canopy
#

Yam they are slowly but surely introducing systems that will be here when the game goes into maintenence mode 🙂

#

might as well just enjoy what you can while you can

crude notch
#

Brew they would never!

#

Kappa

#

Dragonflight last expansion. Brew confirmed it

dusky canopy
#

ive been preparing my mental for the inevitable for a few years now

#

hard to say when exactly

#

but its coming eventually

#

wont be until the game no longer profits them though ofc

round pendant
#

I understand it's just cosmetic, I understand the stuff might come back. However, it's still exploiting peoples feelings of fomo in order to get them to spend real money

cerulean tusk
#

Pretty sure wowsubs still take in millions, tokens even more, so why the dooming?

dusky canopy
#

Thats the thc talking lmao dont mind me

#

big chillin

round pendant
#

and I personally don't like it

cerulean tusk
#

Freeze the item you want?

proper roost
#

i mean

#

blizzard

#

scummy company

crude notch
#

Cool but no need to get the jimmies rustled over it until we find out more.

proper roost
#

why i never

#

but also, pure cosmetics

cinder storm
#

They will just add more in-game purchases, when loot becomes buyable with money, that's going to be the start of the end

proper roost
#

Mehyawn

cerulean tusk
#

Oh, buyable loot is in the game. Called BoEs

crude notch
#

Literally league does this, PoE does this, insert any game in the last 10 years does this. Nothing new.

cerulean tusk
dusky canopy
#

yep jordan gets it

#

cosmetic purchases have zero negative impact on the game

cinder storm
#

Yeah but wow is all about loot and top raiders will cry for a bit about it

crude notch
#

I'm not talking about loot

round pendant
# cerulean tusk Freeze the item you want?

Sure. This month they had two basically 1k items so that extra you got in April? Gone. Now, next month you freeze one of the two 1k items and get the other. The month after? wow now you have 3 items you might potentially want and can still only get 1 and have to decide which one of the other 2 you freeze, repeat forever

cerulean tusk
#

Well, lol had some power in skins and such. Animations being harder to see or faster

dusky canopy
#

"top raiders" care about player power more than appearance

#

if they had to choose one anyway

#

not saying theres some that dont enjoy both

#

just in general

crude notch
#

You only got 500 extra in April.

crude notch
cinder storm
#

Not talking about cosmetics, just regular loot "buy a token for x price for a chance of a mythic level loot"

restive crown
#

do u use beacon on cd in m+? or leave it on CD to pull next pack safely (tried using on trash in FH22 and went to 1/4hp)

round pendant
#

I am aware, but you're missing the point

#

also was it only 500

dusky canopy
#

oh god

round pendant
#

damn

dusky canopy
#

adding loot boxes is your theory

cinder storm
#

It's a theory, a game theory

dusky canopy
#

no shot they do that

#

i mean maybe

#

anything possible

#

yeah thats a stretch for sure imo

cerulean tusk
cinder storm
#

Yeah, it's doomer foil tin hat theory

crude notch
#

They're putting traders tokens on the shop =/= loot being slammed in the traders shop

lusty grotto
round pendant
#

I just think it's exploitative, yeah it's not a BIG deal in the grand scheme of things but all I said is that I don't like it.

lusty grotto
#

like i get you guys are trying to piss this guy off, but you shouldn't just stand by when blizzard does ridiculous shit

dusky canopy
#

I highly doubt blizzard would ever allow purchasing player power, yes boe items exist but thats not equivalent to having a loot box in the wow shop

cerulean tusk
#

Ya only miss out, because you can't. If you can, you won't. Either way it doesn't matter

crude notch
dusky canopy
#

nim i dont want to piss anyone off

#

were having a conversation

cinder storm
#

Real talk, fifa does this and the games are profitable iirc

round pendant
cinder storm
#

As long as whales are willing

lusty grotto
#

its still not ok even if other games do it

#

of course they will

#

it generates money

crude notch
#

Except hear me out

lusty grotto

but its still a fucking scummy tactic

crude notch
#

WE KNOW NOTHING

lusty grotto
#

yeah youre not wrong

#

grasping at straws

round pendant
lusty grotto
#

its just weird how people cope with it

cinder storm
#

Again, I agree one has to do mental gymnastics to think it possible but IF they do that, for me it's the beginning of the end

cerulean tusk
#

We just chatting knowing doesn't matter

crude notch
dusky canopy
#

Don't get me wrong I think its ridiculous also but like I'm not going to lose sleep over cosmetic stuff being purchaseable

Brutasaur comes out for a 100k tendies

100k tendies for AH

lusty grotto

cinder storm
#

I'd pay two tokens for it

crude notch
#

I do understand it sucks for collectors POTENTIALLY but also I'll rage more when I know more.

cerulean tusk
#

100 tendies would be 1 dollar. So go for it

lusty grotto

dusky canopy

to much bro

round pendant
#

Tendies are only valuable in the store if there's a reason to buy them. They're going to create a reason to buy them. No one's going to buy tendies for some dogshit weapon transmogs. They're going to add multiple items that are expensive (tendies wise) and sought after so you have to choose between losing that item for an indefinite amount of time (months? years? who knows!) or spend money so you don't feel FOMO.

dusky canopy

its great

idk how it's so hard to imagine that this is the way it'll go lmao

it's blizzard

They do it with every other game so might as well

crude notch
#

Remember when the guy said "all i said was I don't like it" then kept it going twenty minutes later

#

Good times

dusky canopy
#

similar to what i said earlier i fully expect the game to have a large cash shop once it goes into maintenance mode

#

theyre slowly introducing that stuff

I mean it's a little weird but assuming you're getting gear and still playing well your actual position isn't gonna move all that much

Like yeah you're doing 8-10% more damage.

But so is everyone.

I guess pre-buff logs kinda drag down the curve

But

idk

crude notch

I'm doing infinite more damage because I hadn't touched raid

Top like 300 parses aren't gonna move much

surreal thunder
#

is the homeland raid horn a sim bait, its saying its a 3500 dps increase over my 441 heart of thunder?

lusty grotto
#

ahem

#

yes

dusky canopy
#

true

#

like delete that shit

surreal thunder
#

was that gif to my question

dusky canopy
#

was the intended meme

lusty grotto
#

because carefully looks at name, THIS TIME, that fucking trinket assumes you land all hits

#

which will never happen

surreal thunder
#

so it IS sim bait?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

you have to be lucky to land all hits

surreal thunder
#

heart of thunder does sim correctly either right

#

doesnt*

lusty grotto
#

heart sims correctly

#

its pretty good

no anvil

cause the sim said to replace my heart of thunder with the homeland raid horn lol

i said yes 3 times

dusky canopy
#

raid horn is one of the worst items you could use

#

delete it

round pendant
#

To determine if something is sim bait, just think about how the effect works

#

if it can miss targets, it's sim bait in aoe sims

lusty grotto
#

☝️

cerulean tusk
#

Well, if sims did include a chance to miss...

dusky canopy
#

pls

#

no

surreal thunder
#

Yea i understand that, i was simply just asking cause it showed +3500dps

urban portal
#

homeland raid horn requires insane amounts of skill to use

surreal thunder
#

Yea i wasnt a fan of that trinket anyway

warm plinth
#

@surreal thunder The problem with raid horn is that a.) you can miss, and b.) the split includes yourself, which as the tank, is pretty likely to happen. So at best, you would reduce the AoE effect by 20%, and at worst, you'd reduce it by 50% in ST and take a substantial amount of damage (at 431, an unsplit full volley hits my rogue for half my health).

#

The sim assumes you never miss and never hit yourself

dusky canopy
#

^

warm plinth
#

So it's only giving you the absolute best picture

dusky canopy
#

all true and accurate

surreal thunder
#

Yes thats how simming works

nomes told us the same thing

it plays it as a perfect scnenario

crude notch
#

Wow

#

get an honest answer and you're a condescending cuck about it.

warm plinth
#

Oh I'm sorry. Did you not come here asking if the sim was correct? It read that way, and I was answering that question.

#

This seemed like you were asking if it was sim bait. My mistake.

surreal thunder
#

one person said yes then 1 person said no, then the person that said yes was very rude about it, all good though

Okay and what does that have to do with Ghash's response?

@surreal thunder hello raid horn is garbage

@surreal thunder don't use raid horn it's sim bait.

That way it does max DPS(no it doesn't)

🤔

obtuse viper
#

I read pins I guess my question to be more clear is when would you choose a defensive trinkets. Guides just focus on offensive so I assume most of the time as long as I'm not worried about dying I never need to run defensive trinkets

lusty grotto
#

never

obtuse viper
#

Wondering what fights/keys people consider a defensive trinket instead

lusty grotto
#

25s

#

if youre planning on doing 25s or higher, highly dependant on the dungeon and fights and if tyrannical or fort

and/or mythic Zskarn

feel like im lacking vers, should i start replacing some crit with vers if its similar item level?

no

you being in a class discord literally disqualifies you from being a common player

Non-MDI or WF players hmmNod

modern gazelle
#

not that i feel like im dying just i got some crit haste boots and went to put them on and only had 6% vers, boots are the same ilvl so wasnt sure if its worth taking the vers ones over the crit ones

#

wasn't sure if there is a point where i should focus on making sure i have SOME vers

lusty grotto
#

whatever sims higher

pallid quiver
#

^^^

modern gazelle
#

lol, so we only care about damage?

lusty grotto
#

vers is only good after 24s maybe? idk ive yet to get to the point where i say i need it

pallid quiver
#

By and large same as any other tank, since you can live with any combination of stats

lusty grotto
#

like last season at 23 i started feeling like i needed it

pallid quiver
#

by the time you'd need to stack vers to not be oneshot by a mechanic, the DPS and Healer have been dead for like 6 key levels

modern gazelle
#

well sim it is then lol

but thats cause we had some absolute dogshit fights like crawg's dumb fuck bleeds

I hope they nerf the healing stones also

Yeah I spam general chat until some dps show up

then it turns out they're dps that also need the stones so they do like half my damage anyways

real minnow
#

hi! first bursting week for my prot... bursting is magic-damage? Is it Spell-blockable?

warm plinth
#

I have no idea, but you wouldn't use spell block on it anyway. Bursting does fixed damage, not % damage, so it's gonna kill dps long before it kills you

#

It is magic though

real minnow
#

how to handle? dps has to focus targets? and again.... the healer has to heal/dispel?

warm plinth
#

No, you want to kill mobs at the same time preferably

#

Easier to heal 5 stacks that happen all at once than having them staggered and refreshed.

#

Healer can only dispel one person

dry spear
#

got the ring at ilvl 441 already. a socket with haste crit gem would give me 0.4 % dps. but atm onyx and eranog ring are still best. dont know what the outcome will be after the onyx nerf.

Is this change intended for 10.1.5 based on the wording?

ionic fern
#

Yes.

sleek echo
#

Ok. I have time to grab a new ring in that case haha. Are they really going to alter and buff tanks by 10-20% to compensate? Seems like it would be a pretty drastic buff to compensate

ionic fern
#

6%.

#

For Prot.

jagged pier
#

We got 6%

#

Or will get

sleek echo
#

That feels a bit underwhelming no? Even assuming very good play wasn’t annulet higher then 6%?

#

Altho I guess you will get the secondary stat benefit from a different ring as well as 6%. So maybe it’ll be more total

orchid gulch
#

Well, moving off the annulet will at least provide an increase in tankiness, if nothing else

jagged pier
#

6% overall can be miss leading because of things scaling off abilities extra like in wod i think it was they buffed a hunter spec by a flat aura of 10% it gained far more than 10%

#

I mean u ran double 440+ rings if u wanted tankiness anyway

orchid gulch
#

Yeah, but with the nerf this should be the norm then. I'd assume the stats would offer a greater increase over the 40% nerfed stones

its kinda like "pick this item, to reduce how many crests you need to spend"

the first couple of weeks before pushing above 18 should just be picking socket every week almost

Yeh, hence my hesitation, but in multiple sims with different items, it still says it's the number 1 choice

craggy pilot

what do you have currently? 🤔

warm plinth

Keep in mind that any sim you do that is relatively short (e.g. 3 mins or less) is going to use it with all of your CDs lined up at once, which is obviously when it's the most valuable.

#

But realistically it's only going to be up for every 6th demo/sc and every 3rd rav/tr and isn't likely to line up with avatar again for a while after the initial one

I can confirm this is how it works, tho the diff between 2 vs 3 is expensive for not so much. It saved me quite a few keys as an engineer. The robot explode and deals damage to everyone when he disappear (few sec after casting the res) people should either accept right away and more or wait for the robot to explode before accepting the res

Hello Pwarr enjoyers, just wanted to know what I should craft this week. I play mainly 22 and above keys, and a bit of Heroic/early mythic raiding.
I was thinking of crafting a 447 ring (sims +0,8%), but maybe there's another option? Crafted neck is only a 0,2% increase apparently.
(my bracers and belt have shadowflame embellishment btw)

jagged pier
#

well immuning is still a way to go

#

i think thats how we will do it tbh

#

how about a

#

cloak

uneven mason
#

Was gonna say

night heron
#

Yeah a cloak would be the best ilevel increase, but I was thinking I could drop a good one in m+ and upgrade it to 441 anyway?

uneven mason
#

It's a str slot

#

And can pick the stats

#

Since you legit don't seem to need the upgrade elsewhere

crystal mauve

#

But Ty for reminding me going to get a ring crafted if annulet is gonna be netfed

night heron
#

True, I probably don't have a lot of options anyway!

#

Haha yeah I'm looking forward to 10.1.5 to finally replace annulet in ST

#

I even tried to sim 447 shoulders (considering the tier set shoulders gives a lot of mastery) but it's a 0,1% increase apparently

#

So I'll definetely go for the cloak, thanks for the advice guys

Ideal comp for me right now for dps is like fury, shadow, and then like a fill class

Lore/logic wise

But new mage in 10.1.5 looking spicey

They specialize in locking down mobs singularly but have a lot of options
