#

Yep!

waxen vale
#

how did i almost beat the highest 20 parse in the world not knowing that

#

i guess that says a lot about this spec RN

#

or no one uplaods

urban bane
#

Because reflect dam I think is excluded from your damage on WCL

urban portal
#

is this m+

waxen vale
#

oh ok

urban portal
#

m+ log isnt real

#

no one uploads m+ logs

waxen vale
#

didnt know that

urban bane
#

yeah, if you go to WCL it'll show the boss doing damage to itself from reflect but not attribute it to you iirc

waxen vale
#

ah ok so im not that good

#

why is spell reflect considered. DOT

#

in details?

urban bane
#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

waxen vale
#

forgestorm is like 3 to 5% of my dam in keys thats def more than it was simming for

urban bane
#

i mean also the point about not many people upload logs is pretty true. Nothing wrong with doin it though. Just take m+ parse stuff with a grain of salt.

waxen vale
#

it was saying like 1600 dps i'd gain from forgestorm

#

turns out its more like double that

#

i think theres a sim issue with that maybe

urban portal
#

because lets say the forge storm effect is like 4K dps (for example)

#

but the main stat on the weapon was like 2.5K dps

#

so you only gained 1.5K dps

#

but on details itll show 4K dps

waxen vale
#

ah ok

#

so it's really not a huge gain

#

i'm kind of surprised anyone uses it tbh

#

in high key

#

but i see a lot of ppl

pure goblet
#

Does it help to block spells in rashok?

cinder nova
#

Yeah.

#

Works on the combo

#

If you time it right you can get it for both combos

#

I'd send Wall first instead, though, depending on when your group is sending Hope.

Hey guys out trying to figure out the difference between Ring-Bound Hourglass and Signet of Titanic Insight. I know the signet you can add embellishment on but icy-veins says Ring-bound is suggested. Any idea why? am I missing something. To me they both the exact same if I dont need emblisment slot

proper roost
#

they're the same item

#

for that purpose yeah

wet osprey
#

do prot warriors just stack haste?

lunar path
#

and verse secondarily

warm plinth
#

Not true. We do not stack vers.

#

We go for ilevel>haste>crit=vers>mastery

lunar path
warm plinth
#

Yeah well, they're wrong XD

lunar path
#

isn't a flat reduction in damage better than a small amount of parry?

modern brook
warm plinth
#

No because vers costs 14% more stats for 1% than crit, and in M+ especially, crit equates to a ton of damage negated, given that most of the damage you take is melees. And damage-wise they're approximately equal.

modern brook
#

Crits also slightly ahead in danage

#

Due to better scaling and the abundance of crit damage/ on crit procs

warm plinth
#

And in raid you don't give a shit about DR anyway

toxic pewter
#

Gotta love that 900 shadow bolt that now only hits me for 775 LOL

warm plinth
#

huge

modern brook
#

Also yeah tbh if the Dr from vwrwe just doesn't scale high enough to be really impactful the way it was in bfa corruption era

#

Double downed by melee being the major source of damage in dungeons

#

And in raid, as mentioned, the Dr isn't needed you have cooldowns for anything threatening

warm plinth
#

yeah, you have xooldowns for anything rhrestening6

modern brook
#

Typing hard.

warm plinth
#

Press buttons harder

modern brook
#

Vwrwe just edged out as a stat imo

toxic pewter
#

Is there any way to figure out damage prevented from parries from a log.. and of that how much was prevented from crit

urban portal
urban portal
#

i can PROBABLY program something to do it

warm plinth
#

well, yeah from a DR perspective, that's true.

urban portal
#

but its gonna take a while

warm plinth
#

since it's 410 vs 180

toxic pewter
#

I mean in theory can the defensiveness of crit vs verse be math’d out or do I not understand how it works

urban portal
#

its very tough to math out

toxic pewter
#

Ok

urban portal
#

you can rough estimate

modern brook
#

I mean

#

Yeah that

urban portal
#

very rough

modern brook
#

Rough estimate is easy as hell

#

30%parry is 30%Dr

toxic pewter
#

Is magic damage the main issue or something

urban portal
#

lets say a hit is 50K

modern brook
#

I mean as you start comparing "things you can't parry" the value of parry drops to 0 so thats also easy

urban portal
#

you block for 30K

#

so that parry is only 20k HP healed

toxic pewter
#

Interesting

modern brook
#

Ehps is dumb tho

urban portal
#

or rather 20K DR

modern brook
#

Ah that's fair

#

I mean

toxic pewter
#

So is vers stronger for specs that cannot mitigate melee hits as easy as we can

urban portal
#

no

toxic pewter
#

Ok

urban portal
#

paladin has essentially the same thing for parry

modern brook
#

I feel it's worth clarifying and stressing that verse is not a bad stat

urban portal
#

like exactly the same formula

warm plinth
#

Yes, vers is not a bad stat. But it's not a stack stat either.

urban portal
#

and demon hunter has that retextured version in dodge

modern brook
#

And ultimately the choice between it and crit will come down to personal preference.

#

But so many people just blindly hammer verse without really understanding the trade offs

urban portal
#

there is an arbitrary key level where DKs need vers to live a hit to blood strike

toxic pewter
#

I actually didnt realize apparently crit and verse are close in damage

#

Always thought crit was a good bit better damage wise

urban portal
#

well thats why you sim it

toxic pewter
#

Right

urban portal
#

its mainly because not everything is hasted

warm plinth
#

I'll sim your face

#

gottem

urban portal
#

for example, shield charge

modern brook
#

Crit should be consistently ahead

#

In a pure damage comparison

urban portal
#

your shield charge itself will do 40k, whether you have 1 haste or 1 million haste

urban portal
toxic pewter
#

I see

urban portal
#

but crit is generally ahead

toxic pewter
#

What was different about verse in bfa

ionic fern
#

Corruption.

modern brook
#

^

torn gulch
#

the sheer quantity of it

#

you could reach 100%

#

at 100% vers actually matters

modern brook
#

Turns out when you can comfortably hit 30-40% passive dr, verse was very good

toxic pewter
#

Oh right

#

🤣

ionic fern
#

Know what was betteR?

#

Leech corruption.

modern brook
#

Yes

#

Oh

ionic fern
modern brook
#

I was gunna day twilight dev to like 90 corruption

#

i've seen a mythic raid with only bdk go to carapace

#

only with td

ionic fern
#

"Oh, you're playing your class well? Sucks to be you, the guy who doesn't press buttons and dies 50 times in a fight got a lucky TD proc so he's r1 now".

#

Solid

#

Design.

modern brook
ionic fern
#

Good point.

urban portal
#

they should just make PPM more strict

modern brook
#

If you're on the floor for x% of a fight you should be moved to a lower roll priority

#

That's my hot take

#

I'm so sick of watching gear to go floor huggers

urban portal
#

the lower the dps the higher the chance for loot

ionic fern
#

I agree.

I have a question about macros for intervene. Is it possible to make a macro such that I can 'use' intervene on the enemy target I am targeting, and have that cast intervene on the player that mob is targeting?
For an example, I could be in 1st boss BH, keep the rogue boss as my primary target (or focus target if that would work) and when he goes to fixate, cast intervene on him and mitigate the fixate. Sorry for long wordy post

good morning warriors! I wanted an info if possible, the best enchantment for the chest is waking stats or persistent strength that gives me 375 strength and 111 stamina? I don't understand how 150 strength can be better than 375 strength and 111 stamina but I see that everyone uses waking stats, if you please could you explain

to summarize and paraphrase how dreadplates works btw:

  • it mitigates dmg after absorbs not before
  • a plate only breaks by actual dmg received after the dreadplates and absorbs
  • if you 100% absorb dmg, none of the dmg will count towards the dmg needed to break a plate which is why BDK can barely break any of the plates
  • its mitigation/ "healing" does not show up anywhere, you need to reverse engineer logs to figure out its value
  • each individual plate stacks in how much dmg it absorbs, so with 5 plates you absorb like fucking 30k dmg per damage instance (pseudo aegis)

it can be a ridicilous defensive trinket when you dont take enough dmg to break plates, and it can do uncapped aoe dmg if you take so much dmg that you do break all the plates

which means its a good defensive trinket for us until X key level, and then it turns into a DPS trinket when plates start breaking consistently

i know what you mean and its tricky one to tell why it happens

i think its to do with someone or a pet is too close to the LOS side of that bridge (so the left as you go across) and then things below see and come at you

sick sentinel

if you can avoid pulling that pack, absolutely do it, in bfa it pulled in like 1 in 10 keys for me i want to say, hard to tell

i only never printed that off cuz when visit it it displays in dark mode

It's not in dark mode for me, maybe it's your browser setting?

sick sentinel

probably, then again its a meme too sort of

cinder storm

Honestly, I wouldn't put it past you to print it and tape it next to your screen

Despite the game being predictable

Most of the players still fail at it

That's why classic can never be classic again

runescape is truly truly truly the wild west

#

TBF in wow, part of why i don't press buttons is cuz i played runescape, and then ret pally in 2004 wow

so, i've been trained to click on the target, sometimes hit a button and my character attacks on his own

At a point once you learn a rotation it should be like a dance, obviously with specs that are reliant on procs this is a little different, but once you get a rotation down it really shouldn't be that tough.

#

you are CLEARLY forgetting to add, crushing blows, parries, stuns, fears, blocking, as well as resistances and many others im not thinking of currently

jagged gust
#

Ah yes, farming motes for a week straight for shadow resist gear to fight a single boss, definitely miss that shit.

#

Oh and needing pvp trinkets for fighting bosses because of fear mechanics

sick sentinel
#

resistances didn't have to be like that

#

the developers intentinally made resistances suck ass and hard to farm

#

paladin resistances auras could have easily been 30% resist, instead of what it is now, which i imagine, isn't high

remote venture

Well, Vanlila Raiding was more the preperad the group and get all the buff before the raid, then raid itself. Molten Core was about to get Fire resistances

oh also inherit spell resist chance that cant be reduced to zero, that was always a fun mechanic

#

im all for removing all and any kind of cheat death mechanics and immunities in the game

#

theyre inherently unhealthy for the balancing of content and eligibility of classes with the lack of those

toxic pewter
#

Sounds good to me

pallid quiver
#

that's part of why FF14 gives every one of its tank classes an invincible type skill, from what I remember

#

and encounter design specifically has points where it's just "use invincible skill here" in it, which is boring to me

strong forum
#

yup

pallid quiver
#

That being said, I do kinda like being able to have additional responses to mechanics, like intentionally throwing invincible people at things, but it's boring at the exact same time

#

it's honestly really difficult to get to the point that I'd actually like to see mechanics wise where it doesn't just screw with design way too hard

#

I straight out don't have any ideas for a reasonable implementation, so I'd agree with straight removing them

strong forum
#

its not just boring, to a certain degree its vastly easier to just go "yeah okay this mechanic that should be dealt with in this way can just be immuned cuz we send 1 person to immune it or proc cheat to it"

this way blizz can say "yeah it does aggressivly high dmg, cuz most people will just immune it anway 4head"

I’m talking about a 16, that should not be a problem at all

thats people stacking ontop of each other

#

instead of ... not

#

also eating orbs

#

on that boss its very easy to eat orb->bomb

tardy sequoia
#

I mean every time an orb spawns I make the boss go into it to stun him

#

Is that the correct way isn’t it?

oh

i for some reason thought fire

healer issue

Sigh …

strong forum
#

its not an easy boss

#

that dungeon in general is super healer intensive

graceful kite
crystal mauve
ripe seal
orchid mural
#

I dunno, my best success on that boss has been to stun him as much as possible. obv titanic empower should never get off, but the other thing it does is ruff

ripe seal
#

The stomp is rough, but i'd rather wait as long as possible with giving the boss a 5% dmg increase

strong forum
#

its capped at 5 stacks anyway

sick sentinel
#

how does slows like dreadplates and avatar freedom bop, other externals work on worm boss 3 lair

#

like is activating something that slows you (dreadplates) a net positive or net negative and same for bop/whatever spells

waxen frigate
#

Tigers lust for sure is just a positive

sick sentinel
#

say i do the mechanic correctly and i go to the spot extra early, and i get sucked towards it, through sticky green, >>>>> paladin freedoms me...... do i lose the slow debuff and go rocketing at the boss have to leap forwards?

waxen frigate
#

It’s not like more speed = get pulled faster

strong forum
#

being slowed kills you quicker there as you run away from the the tongue

#

youre working against a pull, if youre running slower

#

well you get pulled quicker

#

the sticky green prevents you from being pulled as much

sick sentinel
#

well, if i get freedom'd or bop'd

strong forum
#

doesnt do anything

sick sentinel
#

cuz one removes slows, the other removes like, everything.

strong forum
#

bop only makes you maybe immune against the damage while getting eaten

#

but it wont help you with running

sick sentinel
#

still no idea how it happened but " the boss is too far from the wall" 3 hunters in group lol

strong forum
#

wat

sick sentinel
#

i must have moved boss really far away i guess, they didnt get behind in time for the main ability

strong forum
#

oh last boss

sick sentinel
#

i just find the idea of 3 hunters being out of range for anything humorous

strong forum
#

if the boss is too far away from the wall, they cant attack from behind it

#

if the boss is close enough they can shoot through the wall

#

theyre not LoS

That one owns too

For hota

jagged gust

Are there any upheaval builds?

That was the one spec that got absolutely zero love in D3

#

Tho barb was basically just a zDPS choo choo train in any high tier content, hopefully they dont have to do that again

dusky canopy
#

Pretty much any shout build owns right now

#

More than likely nerfed shouts before or at the start of season 1

#

There’s also a bleed/rupture build that trucks too but it’s considered ā€œharderā€ because you sorta have to skillshot with it

I haven’t tried it myself but it looks pretty cool in the clips I’ve watched

the link above has new weapon models

this blue axe reminds me of the warriors 2nd weapon from hexen, timons axe

cinder storm
#

Melee and universal trinket look very cool, but cheat death trinket is just so boring, idk why blizz likes them

sick sentinel
#

i think the melee one will be the best one

#

I don't imagine many will be using tank trinket

cinder storm
#

at least it's not obtainable through raid, props to them

except every dps will now ask you "cheat death where?"

I've never had anyone ask me that on any tank o_O

Guys, how to survive 6+ stacks of the experiments debuf on mythic?

pallid quiver

we're also going to ignore the fact said talent isn't even a cheat death

Warrior is notoriously bad at bleeds

solid sun
rustic tinsel

Self sustaining tanks like DK just coast

#

I progged experiments as prot, you just need to think about where you’re going to use your CDs, attack speed slows are also really good on that boss

warm plinth
#

(both of them)

rustic tinsel
#

DK attack slow too if they’re not already, but imagine they are

#

Having numbing over the 3% DR is massively worth it okayge

strong forum

atk speed slows are good on pretty much every boss

rustic tinsel

Does attack speed slow impact Zskarn stacks too

strong forum
#

ofc

rustic tinsel
#

I haven’t really paid attention to it since I’m not playing prot anymore for prog

Too busy trying to maintain my will to live on that boss

strong forum

gl, its the hardest boss of the raid

if you can kill zskarn you can kill everything

It’s really a great boss when you can do the same thing twice and have wildly different results

sick sentinel
cinder storm

I would like to see the zskarn cheese, I know its like 4 tanks and 6 healers in a corner or something but would like to see the execution, is there any video about it?

#

I know its been fixed

sick sentinel

was very often told as rogue to apply "slow casting speed" or "can't heal" poisions

can mark something you ain't got kohl

mark you can miss

mark is worse than anvil if you can maintain the stacks of anvil by a landslide (pun intended)

isn't everything worse than anvil

my luck with trinkets this tier has been poop

All-totem badass trinket lol

plush tendon

at least its a mythic all-totem

toxic pewter

Actually miss that one

plush tendon

yea, but its like so last season

crude notch

Mark falls into the same category as any other frontal trinket in history, except it's even worse because it's not main stat.

#

cannonball runner also simmed tremendously but was beans for agi users.

only time trinkets like that are good is when you control when it goes off.

my guild has weekly heroic alt runs

i might jump in one of those

yea! my guild does a full clear on the rat alts in like hour, hour and a half

totally worth to give it a shot to see if you cant snag a anvil, beacon, nelth, or OCE

I was so fucking confused

we go assault second in our main raid

I just wanted chance at anvil and essence

cause after you kill rashok, you can skip right to amalg room

without doing another side of trash

until you get to the room

Makes sense

No pug did that before then!

pugs go left first cause.... everyone knows why they are there

the boss knocks you just enough out of melee range

he attacks the next closest one instead cuz fuck threat tabels

Can reflect the knock back if I recall correctly I never get knocked back

The knock back does the big damage if I’m not mistaken? Haven’t been back since I got portal

no

its better to reflect the channeled

(right after the knockback)

#

well

at least reflect something

toxic pewter

I prefer reflect at last moment when he’s doing his cast. Reflects the knockback and a bit dr of the channel. Also have shield wall for channel

just get knocked back

and reflect the channel instead

and do millions of damage.

chaos brand/magic touch just makes the mob take 5% more dmg from X dmg source

int buff and battle shout are bigger buffs because it applies to the entire class

not just specific dmg schools

toxic pewter

i see

strong forum

mystic touch is the weakest of the buffs

#

because only very few classes purely do physical damage

toxic pewter

is that because physical damage is just the lowest represented

ok

strong forum

its pretty much only warrior that does only physical damage

#

and i guess hunter for a large part except surv

ret is alot of holy dmg
monk is alot of everything, but also a decent chunk physical
rogue is alot of shadow and poison
dk is alot of disease shadow and frost

feral is also large part physical now that i think about it

dont mobs have armor? does that actually make bleeds stronger against most mobs too or doesnt work like that
