Oh wait haven’t they played on some non updated tournament realm before or am I misremembering

crude notch
#

And that's a client issue

#

TR is on live realms

#

It's connected to live client

#

is the problem

toxic pewter
#

Ok

crude notch
#

It's not like other games that actually separate their clients

toxic pewter
#

I see

#

I guess they see it as everyone has to encounter and deal with the changes at the same times so at least it’s fair

#

Lol

crude notch
#

It's incredibly cursed because they start getting access here this week so no matter what they're starting practise on 10.1

@strong forum just had a +20 BH, i died once with Hyena hitting me for 60k, while it was being blocked, but was with no IP it looked like

#

probably wasnt the Hyena reason i died

#

but seems shit is hitting for 120-150k in +20

#

and block takes off 60k or so

strong forum
#

without logs this is all just feelycraft

#

Which set peices are the prot bis? Im assuming all the ones with haste on but might be wrong

#

Ohhh, I got logs to look at from last night

craggy pilot
#

yea all i had was i died, and checked Combat Log, and it said 60k (55k blocked)

strong forum

but generally ilvl as jawor said is just king

Those pants with all that crit tho.. purpleface

craggy pilot

shoulders have quite low Haste 🤔

craggy pilot

and its high mastery :<

olive bay
#

From my 20 last night - average hit was 42k and 88% was mitigated

#

Oh you probably meant Vicious Hyena - I think the boss ones are different. That was 50k average with 85% mitigation

craggy pilot
#

not boss ones

olive bay
#

yeah, looks like the first area and boss ones are both named Vicious Hyena

@strong forum finally i can try out D4 tho ❤️ do i just go straight to Barb or what? xD

Frostfire Belt could be an option here tbh

craggy pilot
#

did Assassin in my D2 remastered runthrough, and that was fun as fk

olive bay
#

That would be Rogue

#

Rogue is dope as fuck, got nerfed but it's still fun af

craggy pilot
#

arent they like Rogue/DH/Assassin mix? with Trap, Dagger and Ranged Weapons all in a big mix

olive bay
#

I think there might be CP later, but early there definitely isn't

#

Just run the same build everoyne does from Maxroll and you'll steamroll everything

craggy pilot
#

first runthrough im not gonna look at builds

maybe later when i get into higher lvls

There's like no difference between you and those other 10 pwars in title range

The real question is will this week end with more PWars or more BDKs in title range

#

How much uptime does vdh have on fiery brand

strong forum
#

in aoe close to 100%

#

in ST like 60%?

#

ish

#

maybe more idk

toxic pewter
#

pretty solid

waxen vale
#

Pre patch people were saying dh looks op if you can spec into dam but the y didn't think it would be possible in high keys

#

Due to 4 set i guess

#

Idk if that's actually the case

#

There was also talk of defensive rotational choices killing dam

sick sentinel
#

mark does not exist

strong forum
#

where you could do stupendous amounts of damage with it

limber prawn
strong forum
#

but now an easier to play defensive build has creeped its way up where you dont have to play around frailty stacks to get by a more consistent demon spikes build

#

so DH got easier and more stable in a sense for certain high keys

It was a bugged interaction of 4pc and fiery brand

#

Which got fixed 12hrs before 10.1 launched

cerulean tusk
#

Ah, the infinite stacking brands tech

#

I remember it

#

Was a bit too volatile and broken

sick sentinel
#

the thing that routinely makes wow worth re-subbing to is you never can expect what kind of bullshit you are going to see

#

random nobodies doing npc stuff, or huge loot drama over boots

waxen vale
#

I can't even tell what he's doing

#

I've only dabbled in fury

#

But i def think the term button masher safely applies to even the good ones lol

sick sentinel
#

something that involves 100% enrage uptime anyway, he never lost that buff in combat from what i saw

Hey guys, how much do I have to pay to get shadowflame aspect crafted and then to recraft 424 shield to 447? Don't want to get scammed 😄

strong forum
#

5-15k tops

#

Should be very little

sick sentinel
#

what mechanics about melee or whatever exit about the worm boss in lair

#

healer got hit by melee, we did beat that boss that attempt and timed key

hardy snow
#

if you move out of melee range too early (for pull mechanic), he will melee close target

sick sentinel
#

i guess soon as i move out of melee range it targets nearest, thats what the recording shows

hardy snow
#

you have to move away when he starts casting, and return before he starts meleeing ppl

#

but we have leap so its not a big problem

sick sentinel
#

ah, i just backpedaled a bit too much to avoid goop

hardy snow
#

you can leap and hide behind eggs on the side

sick sentinel
#

but i have to stand at that boss the whole time until he does tongu,e or she melees ppl

#

the green puddles infront of the boss kill alot of my group mates

azure temple
#

How do you deal with the bleeds from the basilisks on uldaman? When I kite I have had people complain but 2 stacks on a 22 pretty much kills me in seconds

toxic pewter
#

Just gotta do whatever you can to survive

#

Then tell the people to shut the fuck up

#

Kiting those mobs is a perfectly valid strategy imo

#

I usually do like a loose circular kite on that pack of 3

mental scarab
#

@azure temple just Do the old jump in and pop all you got then leap the fuk away okayge

TFW the healer says "I go fast bro"
Begs me to stop so they can drink every other pack....

to get a relevant sim with annulet (so aoe setup), patchwerk 5 target 1min30 ? or something else

this resto shammy wants me to only prioritize haste/vers and is angry when I like crit.

who cares, it's a pug you'll never see again

#

if he won't trade it to you gg go next, it's only week 6 of the season and you have 14 more weeks to get a better ring

#

never expect pug to trade loot anyway

gloomy hazel
#

I mean I didn't expect it, which is why I asked, and he didn't need it, which is also why I asked.

most people don't know how to play their own class that well so it's not really news that they don't know how other classes work

It depends more on how you kite than whether you are kiting or not

3 paladin 14 lair was quite the experience

proper roost
#

how'd it go

sick sentinel
#

we beat the timer i suppose

#

lost a HUGE amount of time between boss 1 and 2 as you can see - 8minutes

#

and then we wiped to final once, got up and lusted

#

is it a good idea to not do this pull in 15 and above forts?

#

someone said i should get the breakers first alone i guess, and just alot of death on that pull in general

fresh igloo
#

is that the first scorpion rider right before the last boss arena?

sick sentinel
#

first of them

#

right after worm

fresh igloo
#

depends on your healer and group. something like a 20 fort scorpion rider can drop a lot of damage, and adding on top of that the avalanches from the breakers at a bad time

#

I could see it being a problem quickly if people aren't prepared for it.

sick sentinel
#

i think part of it is the enrage like thing the scorpion does, (it can be de-enrraged by druids and huners and dragons and rogues} , with the cave in + scorp cleave

#

is a high skill check for some people maybe

warm plinth
#

I pull it even on +20. People should be avoiding avalanche by then (and if not, they're just gonna die anyway), which makes the scorpion the only source of damage

craggy pilot
crude notch
#

People are charging that much for enchanted aspects?

craggy pilot
#

not what they charge, its what the mats cost

#

idk what people charge, i get them for free xD

#

mats alone are 16k on my server

crude notch
#

oh that's right dracothysts

craggy pilot
#

Dracothyst are very expensive on my server

#

yea 7.5k each

#

so if people charge 3k commission for Aspect Enchant, then its a total of 40k for a 447 with Shadowflame

warm plinth
#

I assume you're EU Nielsen?

currently 7,6k in eu for dracothyst

#

Hey guys one question, how much versa % is recomended?

#

Or the minimum

craggy pilot
#

there is no minimum

humble valve
#

So what would be the go to?

craggy pilot
#

like wdym?

#

you shouldnt go to anything

#

you should go tank

#

you need a shield

#

and then you vibing

humble valve
#

haha

#

Im getting tons of items without versa and if I keep replacing these items

#

I will drop bellow 10%

craggy pilot
#

so?

#

Versa is not all

humble valve
#

kk just asking

craggy pilot
#

Versa dont rly mean much currently

#

you can stack it if youre scared, but shouldnt have to

humble valve
#

And in order to know if an item is an upgrade, do u just go and sim it?

craggy pilot
#

usually yes

#

but sim is for DPS only, while defensive is not rly possible to sim

#

so just know that ilvl > everything

#

except for some specific cases like Forgestorm, Annulet, Diurna Ring etc etc

humble valve
#

Okey

#

I´m asking about the sims specifically when u loot a same ilvl item but with different stats

#

and u gotta choose for example between a haste/versa or haste/crit 441 item

craggy pilot
#

i would go with haste/crit

#

cus its more dps

#

but you can go haste/versa also

#

its personal preference

#

but vers is not a magical stat

humble valve
#

Okey, thanks for the tips

daring marlin
#

Oh no vers is most definitely a magical stat

#

It makes people assume it's the best shit ever

last pebble
#

placebo is v powerful

warm plinth
#

vers and crit are about the same dps. vers is fine. Idk how this mentality happens where it's like oh we need to stack vers, so we argue and fight to change that mentality and now it's like avoid vers like the plague

humble valve
#

In pvp u want to play with 30% versa, and at that point you lf other stats for example

#

Thought that in pve it could be similar that´s why I asked but as I can see this is not the case

warm plinth
#

Yeah vers is important in PvP because you want as much damage reduction as possible so you don't just fall over. Stats are much more important in PvP for that purpose. In PvE, gameplay matters far more than stats for survival.

craggy pilot
#

Vers is also 40% more powerful in PvP because of the set

#

but ye Vers MIGHT be good DPS, but thats why he should sim it

warm plinth
#

and ofc as a non-tank in PvP, you're getting hit a lot more than you would in a dungeon or raid scenario

humble valve
#

and do u sim with dungeon slide, patchwerk or custom mdt route?

kind urchin
#

I usually run more vers in magic heavy dungeons if we don't have a lot of kicks. Other than that I go for more crit.

craggy pilot
craggy pilot
warm plinth
#

patchwerk ST/multi-target

#

We don't use dungeon slice

craggy pilot
#

for AOE you can sim Patchwerk x3 1.5min (without BL) and Patchwek x5 1.5min (without BL) and make a qualified assumption of a mix between those 2 + the ST sim

humble valve
#

Okey thanks

craggy pilot
#

sick, thats a lot of gear xD

#

assuming its same ilvl

#

I have one ring and a neck that's one upgrade lower.

could be bolstering

lots of choices

i got all the money in my wallet on bolstering 100% tho

you can push with new bolstering no prob

especially on tyran

warm plinth

These are my predictions for the remainder of the season

We can't have Afflicted Bursting because Blizzard said they wouldn't punish healers like that

oh wait

yea

it's afflicted bolstering 100p

entangling bursting tyrannical is the juice

can i dispel afflicted as a hunter with a pet?

So I'm pretending Blizz doesn't hate us that much

No, the pet can only dispel itself

oh wait

But then my raid leader gets mad at me

They can’t expressly call me bad cause

But they’re like “why aren’t you in dstance” and I’m like I was in dstance when I died. You can’t just look at how long I was in bstance vs dstance and be like, “must have died cause no dstance”

#

And I looked at logs and I was taking avg dtps, 90+ hps, doing like 10% more healing to myself, but taking like 4 million less healing overall even though we were 5 healing experiments

ionic fern
#

Of course they can.

They can and they will.

Cause you died.

And tanks are not expected to die.

undone verge
#

Well they call me stupid, but not really bad

ionic fern
#

Lets be honest, majority of people don't know how other classes function.

#

I've also been called out for "focusing on dps" too much.

#

But they don't realise that "focusing on dps" means you press your buttons correctly which in turn leads to more rage which in turn leads to more indom/ip/AM reductions which in turn leads to less damage taken.

But nah

Jeh. No one is a better log analyser than a person being blamed for something.

Demo Shout is assumed, I won't have shield wall for every flaming Slash. I want to avoid spell block if I can. I definitely think there is some pressure on the healers though as they need to be ready to top me.

#

We did some test pulls last night, I think once I'm happy with movement it will all fall in.

I've seen people dropping Unnerving Focus for it and I'm not sure what that equates to in terms of rage generation what the exact numbers are on that.

spell queuing is when the boss could cast 1 or 4 abilities randomly because it has 4 spell ready

yer its a cast variance same as any boss

spell queuing is different

warcraft logs show 30% of spell block usage on mythic

when theres nothing blockable there

jagged pier

because ppl are dumb

#

and spell block isnt in the normal build ither

vocal nimbus
#

the doc says that searing claws arent blockable by anything

#

i guess that means only the stacking dot part right?

#

the melee hit itself can be blocked?

jagged pier
#

the melee is blockable by SB

#

but spell block does nothing on that fight

#

i guess it can reduce the knockback damage every now and then

vocal nimbus

not gonna lie im scared

Just remind your co-tank to taunt when appropriate so you don't get unnecessary stacks, and avoid bombs at all cost.

well done u did more damage on adds than the other tanks

he said all warriors go turtle build pretty much @ionic fern was the generalized statement

I don’t have eranog ring

@sick sentinel do you have a log from the run or? because youre only hovering over the Monks death, not the Paladin...

the monk did stand in the circle that you lept out of, and he got hit by a cast (not 2), and he got hit by Storming.... makes sense he died honestly

oh he also got the DOT on him from the Gust Soldier, which should be dispelled 😄

Hulks are crushing me in NL high keys. Anyone know if it’s the fracture or piercing shards doing the bulk of the damage? And any way to make it easier like spell reflecting piercing shards?

cinder storm
#

Yes

twin bramble
#

Thanks! Yes piercing shards is the culprit?

cinder storm
#

Yeah, it chunks

twin bramble
#

Do I use spell reflect for the initial hit or the bleed?

cinder storm
#

From Sense's spreadsheet - Spell block only works on initial hit - will not work on the following DoT, which is the dangerous part

proper roost
#

it's mostly the dot

#

there's only two "required" hulks in the route (you can technically skip both but no one does, and you should generally skip the very first one in pugs)

#

so just make sure you have a cd going into it

#

it can be dicey to pull the hulks back to back for cd timings but you can hug right and pull that pelter and/or geode to slow down the pace slightly for cds

#

Kinda depends though

#

after the first hulk if you have 2 cds then you just send it on second hulk

uneven mason
#

It only does 120,000DPS on +20 after an initial hit of 500k 🙄

#

brutal

jagged gust
#

That's like a whole 3 seconds before you die, no worries

uneven mason
#

right

#

I mean, you should have SR and DS up for the initial hit

#

and then slap IV right after

#

might be a good opportunity for defensive stance to shine

#

(I Know, ugh so dirty)

proper roost
#

the main key on the hulk pulls is to not be max range when tanking it, so your melee dps can kick the add

#

otherwise the add scooches too close to the front of the mob and mdps can't kick it without eating the frontal too

#

Always just want to move back into the center of its hitbox after a fracture

jagged gust
