34 is perfectly normal

sick sentinel
#

alright okay thanks

strong forum
#

just wanna get a bit more haste but other than that stats are pretty much perfect

#

also enchant leech instead of avoidance

sick sentinel
#

alright will do thanks

So. I'm really loving all three plate classes to a large degree. Right now I'm basically locked into trying Warrior for a full tier for S3, but wanted to ask here: Can someone sell me on why Warriors are mega chads over DKs?

I love how easy BDK is. I love sharing the 2H sword across frost and blood. I love grips and the control I have.

Conversely, I really, really love arms. Prot is a great sword/board class fantasy. It's tuff.

#

Class ADD sucks

strong forum
#

pwar is very fast paced, all about resource management/generation, very easy to pick up, does more dmg than bdk, you have less self healing but also take close to what feels like 0 dmg when played well
you share the same stat prio as arms with haste/crit

fair elm
#

Being able to charge is fucking great man. I am truly leading M+ runs by charging in first.

#

Contrast to DK I'm lagging behind in everything I do 🥲

strong forum
#

but you have to learn what is and isnt blockable, you care more about what dmg source youre up against

fair elm
#

For sure. Don't mistake it, I'm a scrub...

#

e.g. this macro

#
#showtooltip Shield Slam
/cast Shield Block
/cast Shield Slam
strong forum
#

yeah then it can be very punishing to make a mistake

#

pwar is the most likely to die to a mistake because you dont have recovery tools besides impending victory

#

but like i said, its quite an easy tank to get by on

fair elm
#

Yeah so far it seems pretty mindless

#

and if you're really concerned you can just ride dstance and not care about parsing

#

I'm having a ton of fun with all three classes. Just don't have time to maintain all three for raiding/m+ so trying to cut back. I think I'mma all in on Prot Warrior for S3 yolo

strong forum
#

s3 wont be for like... 4 more months

#

eh maybe 3

fair elm
#

Because everyone says basically what you said -- it's fun, it's tanky af, and I won't regret it'

#

For sure. Got a long time until then.

#

we're just done with S2 already

strong forum
#

i guess

fair elm
#

My group basically shows up, slaps around M+ until 2k-2.5k rating and clears Heroic

#

then we farm or just chill until next season

strong forum
#

ah yeah then

#

yeah pretty short comfy ride

fair elm
#

absolutely

#

I'm not looking to get CE or anything. Pushed that in BFA and it was kind of a drag

#

Heroic is 100000% where the fun is for me

strong forum
#

agreed

#

i prefer killing bosses, not progressing them

#

just get my loot and out

that's a great way to phrase that

Did you get your dice, J!?!?

#

65 prot warr doing dungeons in DF right now and it's weird. I either take no damage at all and I'm constantly dumping rage on revenge or I pull two packs and I literally can't out-IP my damage intake

#

I guess that's what happens against spellcaster packs(?)

mighty valley
#

if you're leveling I doubt anyone is kicking any of the casts

#

or CCing anything

austere agate
#

is amulet still best for M+ ? even over 447 crafted?

okay great

i hate it

😄

uneven mason
austere agate
#

yes

#

i just see a lot of warriors still wear it, maybe for raid idk

uneven mason
#

Because they don't read patch notes

mighty valley

yeah it's currently still great for st dmg until it's nerfed

uneven mason
#

99% of people can't be fucked to pay attention until something slaps them in the dick

mighty valley
#

the second you start panic mashing it, you're killing your rage gen and you're not gonna get out of that hole

ruby musk
#

So my 437 forgestorm is simming 300 dps over a 447 crafted weap on ST, but 600 dps lower on AoE. Hmm...

uneven mason
#

That's how it goes, stats are strong in ae over most procs

round thicket
#

I figured even if you still have some when the pack dies and it decays off, still better than hitting a revenge and have your HP take full damage. Idk

daring marlin
#

Any other back day enjoyoooors in the chat?

karmic plinth
#

in the grand scheme of things ignore pain is not that important to aim to keep up 100% uptime on

mighty valley
#

nah, you need to have enough rage to fill every GCD, watching IP uptime is basically irrelevant

#

if you miss revenges, you miss SS reset opportunities and kill your whole rage engine

bruh the fuck is this shit

#

does toxic retch become a 1-3 shot on 20s

#

not really above 20s, cuz ya, i'd stop counting past 20

mighty valley

it's a brutal healing check

it sets off my highest level of DBM noise anyways, nuke alarm sound

how good is the back from sarkareth??

mighty valley

decent, better to give it to a dps probably

and it's pretty ass in keys

manic canopy

and for the progess in MM it's good??

#

or better take the back from vortex?

jagged pier
#

For some bosses in aid it fine its aweful for m+

warm plinth
mighty valley
#

It sounds like an accident that no one noticed til now and will probably get fixed

warm plinth
#

Oh it will no doubt get fixed

#

But it draws attention to the problem

mighty valley
#

I dunno on the m+ tuning stuff, past the KSH level I’m not sure how far it’s reasonable to expect blizzard to care

#

Oh no I can only get to 26 when I did 28 in a previous season

#

Etc

warm plinth
#

Naraxas (and Rokmora) are disproportionately difficult compared to most dungeon bosses even at +20

daring marlin
#

Rokmora is fucking ass if the tank is being a goon

#

or DPS don't focus adds

mighty valley
#

Yeah there are outliers I wish they’d tweak

#

The way people talk online though, they act like m+ is in crisis

vocal nimbus
#

Why people find rokmora hard tho

sick sentinel
#

cuiz it hits like a trukc if ppl don't kill adds

#

and the puddles suck too

vocal nimbus
#

circle and kill adds :V

#

heroic throw and it comes to you

sick sentinel
#

if u just "randomly wipe" to rokmora, its 100% cuz ppl didn't kill adds and he shattered

#

u want to get aggro on the adds and kill them near boss and back pedal or side step once they drop

#

cuz u don't want them on dps killing dps and then it drops shit random places

#

1 add spawns every 5% hp he loses (95, 90, 85, 80, etc), so thats 20 adds in total, kill them before the shatter finishes

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

explain how am wrong then

#

this is what i recall learning in this channel

warm plinth
#

I mean take a look at literally any log and you can see it's not true. It was thought that at one point. But it appears to just be that they spawn frequently but with about a 5 second ICD on the spawn. He also won't spawn them in the middle of a cast (razor shards or shatter).

sick sentinel
#

ya, i just mean don't let it live long enough that it can see the boss cast shatter

warm plinth
#

Yes that is how to do the boss.

crude notch
#

god if it was every 5% the start of the boss would be so cursed.

warm plinth
#

Yeah lol. Rokmora, the one boss you'd never want to lust

#

Hey priest, you're holy for this fight

unique cobalt
#

should I aim to get as high crit as possible after haste, are try to equalize it with vers through stat on crafted gear and changing fingers around ?

warm plinth
#

You should aim to not overthink stats. Ilevel>haste and chill on the rest. Whenever you have the option, you pick crit or vers over mastery. You can sim to figure out which to pick.

unique cobalt
#

ya but I mean on crafted gear for example ( I got main hand/ shield / and legs ) should I recraft them from haste/vers to haste/crit ? cause I have the choice that's what I mean

restive scroll
#

random trick in case someone's interested , after 3rd boss in Neltarus, when you have to jump down, you can charge critters to avoid fall damage.
So you can use leap to get out of the room of the boss and still avoid fall damage
I guess multiple people know that already, but I only recently thought about it :)

warm plinth
#

I would never recraft a piece purely to change its stats though.

toxic pewter
#

ngl do feel bad, just had a healer leave before a key because I joined. Literally cannot do anything for the affix

#

apparently the lead didnt get dps that can dispel either though so not my fault..

sick sentinel
#

the problems im running into lately is im not doing pull orders correctly, over pulling for whats nesssecary and pointing shit at the group

#

moved brutal backhand in front of the healer, over pulled before first parrot boss, didn't pull the patrol that comes to second boss down hill, it pulled, reset it, we still wiped again though

#

am better than to fail a freehold key

Idk how much experience you have with doing M+ yogi, but that shit happens to everyone

#

Been getting into keys all week and all been super smooth runs but today for some reason I've only managed to get invited to 1 key. It still went butter smooth but geez. Guess all the weekend players that think prot warrior is bad are playing right now.

#

Swapped over to my pally and instant invites every time. Of course on the pally I had more than double everyone else in dispells. They're all just lazy and don't want to do the affix.

This seems fine right?

gloomy vortex
sick sentinel
#

does the down arrow mean hes talented into more shockwave shit

warm plinth
#

Well both people who responded were memeing that he should have played more incorrectly

sick sentinel
#

its #5 on his dps

warm plinth
#

Yes. He had sonic boom. And barbaric training which is ironic af considering he only pressed revenge 15 times

so that makes me think he took more shockwave stuff

Wish they would just take the damage dealt penalty off, or give it a buff to threat.

To compensate for the penalty

#

I am not a fan of the stance situation but it seems blizzard is intent on us using both

#

and its basically a reversion of nerf we took in s1

My favorite part of fh is when everyone stacks near me and I get to play dodge the parrot with the rest of the group

I always say to myself, you know what this fight needs? More aoe and dodge mechanics

warm plinth

It's better for people to stay close though so he's not going all over the place

proper roost

yeah you want most people to be pretty close, esp to minimize cone

you need someone to bait the pools in p2 tho

I think he's talking about P1

nah I'm talking about pools

my teams are always fools for pools

It's the third mouse click that annoys the hell out of me, that and training my thumb to use the side has not gone well

#

it's a skill issue for sure

toxic pewter
#

So wait do you still use keyboard binds also or is the main ones on the mouse

kind urchin
#

I've seen bdk's hit over 200k hps but never seen a vdh do that so I don't think so.

crude notch
#

how long ago did you get it?

warm plinth
#

The third mouse click can be disabled. But I guess I have bigger hands so my ring finger is on the side of the mouse, not on the button.

jagged gust
#

got it tuesday

toxic pewter
#

Is the mouse treated as the main input for you guys or keyboard

crude notch
#

my ring finger rests nicely on it and i just use it as shift

warm plinth
#

Mouse is defensives/utility. Rotational shit is still kb

#

People who do rotation on the mouse weird me out.

toxic pewter
#

Yah that’s how I would do it also main rotation on keyboard makes more sense

#

Maybe I should try one 🤔

warm plinth
#

Like these are my paladin's mouse buttons (8 is bop but it's bound in clique)

crude notch
#

I have a swifty macro so my rotation is one button 4head

and that button is spacebar

toxic pewter

I use the mouse right below the wheel for set focus, and I use mouse wheel right for my mount opie

toxic pewter
#

So wait there’s two mouse wheels

#

Or am I misunderstanding

#

Nvm

jagged gust
#

This is how im rolling, I honestly just need like 1-2 more actionable buttons on my mouse, there needs to be something reasonable in between 2 and 16

#

I think war is simple enough that I get away with the g403, but if I had something like monk or pally or just generally more utility I'd probably need to familiarize myself with the 600 just to not be a scrub

this is 2nd time on 13 key it just go bad

Yeh he can mess groups up on tyrannical. Especially slow groups that don’t prioritize tick stomping

they try but very hard to get all of them

Some servers are just better known for some things, like if I see a mage from azralon I know they're going to be a pumper, or a dh from illidan they're going to be a toxic window licker and pull ahead, a paladin from stormrage is probably the best healer I'll have this week.

Wait, you mean there's more bad players when there's more players? holy shit, that's a wild take

next you're gonna say there's more good players when there's more players

Nah all the bad players somehow conglomarated onto specific servers according to these weirdos.

1 thing that however is closer to true is, that people from localised servers like french/russian/german/Italian are less likely to be able to communicate

In my experience the big servers tend to atrtract a proportionally higher number of terrible players, because you get a lot of the "I'll join the big server and get into a top Mythic guild" types

contrary to popular belief, not everything is racist

I grouped with a streamer I watch and apparently he won’t invite people from a certain guild on my server.. have you guys seen people hold grudges against certain guilds even

proper roost

hell yeah

#

petty grudges are the best kind

#

Holding a grudge against a guild is quite different to excluding or talking shit on people from a specific realm whose sole difference is the language they speak.

toxic pewter

Yah the situations are different

lusty grotto

yeah i dont think its racist

#

latin american players can be any race, any color

crude notch
#

Yes but as highlighted by many every server has bad players

proper roost

well they can't be blue. blue is not a human color

crude notch
#

So there's a distinct reasoning one would feel the need to mention ragnaros

#

over other servers with bad players

warm plinth
#

The problem isn't saying "god I hate fucking rag players". It's that that's the ONLY realm (besides Azralon/QT which are also LA) that people single out.

It's fun to have like, 1 bad player in a pug, especially if they're self aware

If there isn't a bad player in your pug, you're the bad player.

toxic pewter

Not me

cerulean tusk
#

If a player keeps having bad experiences with players from set server, is it not only natural to shun that server? We are only human after all. Some servers do have different attitudes and norms, or so it do often seem peepostudy

lusty grotto
#

generalizations should be shunned yes

#

on any platform

crude notch
#

"We are only human" while true does not excuse generalisations

toxic pewter
#

Yah it bad to generalize

jagged gust
#

The best players are alliance from Area 52

cerulean tusk
#

Why tho? If it is a real pattern

jagged gust
#

It's like bless your heart

lusty grotto
#

1 person or 100 people does not mean that millions upon millions of others are the same just because they have similar traits

toxic pewter
#

It’s a slippery slope and unwise

#

Should try to treat everyone as a individual, as we are

cerulean tusk
#

So there are no norms to guide us?

lusty grotto
#

looking for patterns is human and scientific like sure, looking for patterns to attribute negative behavior trascends race/language/etc

crude notch
#

Bad players are on every server, are you going to avoid every server?

jagged gust
#

i only play wow irl

crude notch
#

When you're avoiding ragnaros but not another server with a bunch of bad players, there's a reason other than bad players that you're avoiding it.

#

You can even say, "I avoid ragnaros because I don't know how to properly communicate with them." That both tackles a situation and makes you not look like a racist cuck.

cerulean tusk
#

If player only see bad players from source A, avoiding that seems reasonable to do. So let's say 7/10 times from A, 5/10 from B and 4/10 from C. Prio C to B to A, seems logical to minimize risks

lusty grotto
#

if you only see bad players from source A, youre completely disregarding other sources

#

and that is a fact

#

because if youre doing keys regularly, you see this shit from EVERYWHERE

#

unless you have been writing down where each bad player is from, youre only noticing source A because of a common trait

#

which glares like a neon sign

crude notch
#

If you're taking a hard stance on 7/10, 5/10, and 4/10 people then idk what to tell you.

#

That's not that many people

toxic pewter
#

It’s a dangerous game to play, because when you only factor in a single thing such as server, it’s discounting effectively an infinite amount of other data points

cerulean tusk
#

Sure, but we are limited beings, so would it not be just to base it on personal experience so far?

toxic pewter
#

Well that’s why it’s bad to make decisions based on just one data point

#

Try to get as many as possible

crude notch
jagged gust
#

there's also the concept of negative reinforcement

cerulean tusk
#

There is, indeed

jagged gust
#

"I always stub my toe on that table"

cerulean tusk
#

Table must be the reason. Yep

jagged gust
#

Well no, you don't, but every time you do you notice it, not the hundreds of times you dont

toxic pewter
#

It’s just dangerous to stereotype.. it leads to bad time..

#

That’s the end result

cerulean tusk
#

So, let us say you do 100 keys, in 99 of those, a DH is always raging and making it a bad time. Would it be alright to avoid DHs to reduce that risk?

lusty grotto
#

no it wouldnt be alright

cerulean tusk
#

How come?

lusty grotto
#

i feel that, we've said this like 5 times already

crude notch
#

I'd question why you're running 100 keys and 99 of them are with a DH tbh.

#

😛

cerulean tusk
lusty grotto
#

maybe he has double casters

crude notch
#

TRUE

lusty grotto
#

its a good pick

toxic pewter
#

I guess the answer goes back to if you believe in objective moral truth or not

crude notch
#

You're just closing off yourself from potentially really awesome human interactions if you start exluding servers, classes, etc because someone else was a cuck or was GOD FORBID, bad.

cerulean tusk
#

Think of all the headache you will save yourself from, tho

toxic pewter
#

The best answer I can give is if you continue to think with a stereotypical mindset, you’ll never experience that 100th dh.. that run may actually be the greatest run of your life, but you’ll never experience that as you effectively have closed yourself off from that possibility.

#

Alas the negative bias is strong in humans that is true

lusty grotto
#

just gotta make the effort to start thinking without generalizations

#

im not a saint

#

i generalize from time to time

crude notch
#

but you're cute as heck

lusty grotto
#

but then i try to step back from that

lusty grotto
cerulean tusk
#

Hm, in the case if 99% chance of bad and 1% good. I rather just cut out the bad and not risk it. As there is no need to take a perceived risk for no reasoning other than 'morality'

crude notch
#

Providing a made up number of 99 out of 100 is such a shit argument.

#

Like

lusty grotto
#

those percents arent really proven

toxic pewter
#

Lol you say morality as if it’s not the most important thing there is

lusty grotto
#

your numbers will never hold up on a probabilistic study

crude notch
#

If you're running into grumpy DHs in 99 out of 100 keys, there's only one common denominator actually

#

And that's you

lusty grotto
#

youre trying to put numbers on something that is absolutely not a statistical study, feelcrafty

cerulean tusk
#

The number exists as is, as ai made it up for the point. If that is the case - I think it is really weird you still argue that taking that 1 in a 100 chance is correct

jagged gust
#

They're also kinda grumps because we kinda killed their big baddie like 3 expansions ago and they're getting restless

wait

lusty grotto

it still doesnt apply to real life

and/or the game

Sure it does, if you got burned 99 times, would you still put your hand into the fire for the good results?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

youre making a make believe scenario

do you understand?

cerulean tusk

How many times do you give away all your belongings?

toxic pewter

Yeah but fire is objectively going to burn you.. human dh player is not a confirmed negative experience

crude notch
#

If I come up with a scenario where my generalisations are okay, is it okay to generalise is the crux of your argument rn.

#

99 out of 100 is not a realistic scenario

#

Except for making your generalisations okay

cerulean tusk

Let us say 1/5 Vs 1/4

3/5?

5/5?

and hypotheticals

toxic pewter

Honestly seems you’re relying more on feelings and emotions than logic and data tbh

Can we give him two legs if he's right?

lusty grotto

i could give you non-hypothetical data if you want, the contents of my PBL, and its still not statistically accepted because ive only encounter just a small sector of the pop

#

and just out of looking at it i have way more people from illidan and area52 than any of the latin american servers combined

and feelcrafty as it is, it makes sense because those 2 realms have a huge pop

I do know that Blackmore got a lower tolerance of timewasting though. If you bring Raven rest, they got more. And so on.

what cultural norm is there for raging, quitting, inting a key?

what is the cultural norm associated with getting carried and bringing themselves to a higher key just because of io obtained through those means?

#

Thanks for the vague posting

so what cultural trait do they have that you have to avoid them?

cerulean tusk

They seem to prio their own time and leave at the first set of problems. A lower tolerance in general of being inefficient with their time

no one is talking about a boss yogi

sick sentinel
#

well its a summoned thing, non elite

#

those don't normally get hit by bolstering either

proper roost
#

Also you shouldn't kill totems

#

you need to kill the rotsinger, which instantly despawns the totem

toxic pewter
#

going left also messes up the skips you should probably be doing

I just take it to the face this expansion. It's the only thing you take damage from as the tank since tantrum is physical.

#

ngl, most bored I have ever been playing wow right now

#

truly awful experience and 10.1.5 definitely not looking like it will bring any challenging/meaningful content either

#

May end up unsubbing soon

sick sentinel
#

blew up to first and second boss of halls about an hour ago

#

the frog im pretty sure its just, theres a green ring and only i get in that, but for some reason i tried to ru n out, group said frogs werent dying fast enough

zeralak cavern has been one of the most glaring failures I think I have ever witnessed

LOL

#

well yeah

#

ive been burned out for 2 months

#

and nothing to do

daring marlin
#

That was S1

#

You need to take a break brother

toxic pewter
#

yeah you are right

daring marlin
#

I'm barely playing--it's gr8

#

D4!

toxic pewter
#

i beat d4 campaign and stopped

daring marlin
#

Just come back in 10.1.5 and try pushing keys

toxic pewter
#

ok

#

agreed

daring marlin
#

I might play more then

#

Sorta just cruisin' til more catalyst charges

#

Maybe gear my dk then lol

toxic pewter
#

ive level 4 of my other tanks

#

but just dont seem to have the drive to actually do any raiding or m+ on them

warm plinth
#

@sick sentinel I watched your brackenhide last night. Why did you ignore the other dude (not the priest)? He was trying to he helpful and was nice the whole run

tawdry tiger
#

Hey folks! Why is it so hard to apply for M+ 22 keys if you are a protection warrior?

toxic pewter
#

?

sick sentinel
#

i most likely lumped him on side of being on priests side, im sure they were both right i wasn't actively attempting to blow up the key

#

Oh, yeah, so no one here can tell you why you are not invited

#

gotta go straight to the source if you really want to know

#

and even then you may never get the answers you seek

warm plinth
#

M+ parses don't mean anything; no one is checking those to decide whether to invite you

#

To venture a guess, a prot paladin or VDH signed up at the same time as you and they picked them instead.

tawdry tiger
#

I know some people which doing that before invite someone 😄

sick sentinel
#

i will say that im still ignorant of alot of things going on in keys

#

50/50 aware/not

warm plinth
#

Ask questions, get answers, put answers into practice. You don't have to just fail the mechanic and then check the dungeon journal mid-run to see where you messed up.

#

If youd on't know, ask

sick sentinel
#

using the videos these days after a bad keyt

#

go to where somone dies, play it back a dozne times, try to figure out if its something i was responsible for or not, if yes, try to learn

warm plinth
#

That's the best part of vods. Being able to dissect your gameplay and see where you went wrong

#

Oh I was going to ask you

#

What is the giant ass IP icon that shows up on your screen sometimes?

sick sentinel
#

usually it takes a dozen or so replays to get the correct person or event in eyesight, or a key event that occured right before, like shark toss

tawdry tiger
#

ok, thanks anyway. I thought someone faced this issue as well and already had answers, so probably make sense to ask party leader on what their choosing depends

sick sentinel
#

Ip icon is supposed to be "cast IP soon" over ... uhh... 60 rage i think? and then at like 80 or 85 it transforms into the button ish sound

warm plinth
#

oh okay

toxic pewter
warm plinth
#

Eh, just be polite. If they respond poorly, just ignore them and move on

tawdry tiger
toxic pewter
#

Fair enough, most will not respond, some will be honest with you

warm plinth
#

It's certainly possible, but like, this is the top 20 for prot warrior in the world

#

You're already in the top 150 just being 2883

#

Community perception has always been our enemy, and any time we're not "broken", we're trash.

tawdry tiger
#

it is possible for sure, I mean not in private party but with pugs

toxic pewter
#

Just keep going and don’t get discouraged

#

You will get invited

Something I run into quite frequently is a lot of healers somehow forget how to heal a prot warrior. Like we don't need a ton of babysitting, but the occasional renew or some other HoT would be fabulous so I don't rot off after 14 seconds with the healer saying "Wtf man, learn to play".

cinder nova
#

Lazy healers lazy.

proper roost
#

healing a tank in general is usually a mistake, so that is a major downside of pwar. outside of tank busters they still should not really need to heal you esp on tyr week

cinder nova
#

Yeah that's a load of tripe.

proper roost
#

bedge spot the guy who's never healed

cinder nova
#

Tell me straight-faced how you expect PWarr to manage self-healing north of 80-100K HPS to avoid being killed in doubles, triples, or spam cast anything.

proper roost
#

you think healers can do 80-100k hps on a single target?

sick sentinel
#

that is so much leech

cinder nova
#

No, that's why we do about half that ourselves.

#

Or more if we're mashing the fuck out of IP.

#

But without barely keeping us alive, we're not gonna be able to just stand on our own in plenty of pulls on high keys, Tyr or Fort.

proper roost
#

you think healers can easily do 50k hps on st keks

cinder nova
#

Yes? Dude, I literally run with healers that do it all the time, don't be daft.

proper roost
#

max healer hps is like 300k with cds in aoe with massive rot

cinder nova
#

Maybe you can't, that's a you problem.

proper roost

#

i feel so sorry for your healers

hazy bronze
#

I barely trust healers to do mechanics :Pepelaugh:

cinder nova
#

Bro, it's literally math. Acting like you should barely be healed beyond busters is utterly clownshoes

#

Unless you're doing dick-all for keys and solo pulling the entire dungeon

#

How

proper roost
#

keks spam healing wave on me i'm a prot warrior

cinder nova
#

You're literally the healer that doesn't heal his tank and then complains they die, sit down go literally anywhere else.

proper roost
#

i don't play with (bad) pwars

#

thank god i have never gotten a guy in a 22 who demands spam heals as a tank

toxic pewter
#

This game has become clownshoes tbh

proper roost
#

nvm literally just realized why i have almost never healed pwar

sick sentinel
#

14 freehold

they self select out after 22 lol 💀

sick sentinel

healer spiked at all time of 108k

That guy's owning

power to him

sick sentinel

he did say "he has amazing heals"

Does anyone know from a percentage...how much spell block reduces damage on searing slash rashok? Obvz it doesnt literally BLOCK the fire damage, since I still get hit. Spell refect in tooltip says 20% DR, just wonder what it is more or less with spell block

sick sentinel
#

this is a log from said 14 freehold i ran today

frozen rose
#

i'm trying to layout my DR toolkit best as possible on rashok. (healer externals are pretty much being used to keep slam foek alive) and we have a less than normal to work with. My plan for Tbuster 1: last stand, spell block. #2, (spell block actually is still active), ward of faceless ire trink, spell reflection. #3: spell reflection, Demo Shout, Shield wall. Any suggestions of having any of that lay out differently?

sick sentinel
proper roost
#

You really gotta get those shield slam numbers up yogi

#

Those are rookie shield slam numbers

#

also do you mean to doxx yourself in those logs or is that someone else's upload.........

#

you gotta change ur wcl username man 💀

warm plinth
#

😬

strong forum
#

ima delete that just in case

sick sentinel
#

ehh well, true, just i dont know if you can do that without using another email

proper roost
#

You can very easily

#

-> Settings (it's near the top)

#

Update username

sick sentinel
#

that one doesn't have the info

proper roost
#

👍

#

for that first pull of freehold you really want to just run into them and group them as you press thunderclap

sick sentinel
#

my FB has been stripped down anyways and all my important shit is 2FA

proper roost
#

you don't really want the charge travel time especially since it'll fuck up the positioning of the mobs, they'll trickle weirdly

toxic pewter
#

U did more dam than the balance druid nice

proper roost
#

Yeah first/last name isn't really a super big deal imo but i wasn't sure if you were aware of it

sick sentinel
#

depends on the color of the hat of the person viewing it , if they even do

#

not all wizards wear a black hat

proper roost
#

your demo shout usage could use some work as well

#

it's good offensively since it puts a damage taken buff on the enemies (for yourself)

#

and also the 45s cd syncs it to your other major damage cds which you could take more advantag eof

#

I am really liking the Neltharian's Call to Chaos trinket while running keys. Anyone else run keys with it?

proper roost
#

you really ought to not press heroic throw so much either

sick sentinel

i changed my username on the other log, just incase someone still had that window some reason
