alright okay thanks
just wanna get a bit more haste but other than that stats are pretty much perfect
also enchant leech instead of avoidance
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
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
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 🥲
but you have to learn what is and isnt blockable, you care more about what dmg source youre up against
For sure. Don't mistake it, I'm a scrub...
e.g. this macro
#showtooltip Shield Slam
/cast Shield Block
/cast Shield Slam
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
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
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
i guess
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
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
that's a great way to phrase that
Common Nome W
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(?)
is amulet still best for M+ ? even over 447 crafted?
Spells aren't the problem, dots on the other hand
it's already not best in m+ and it's about to get nerfed
It's being nerfed, if you mean annulet
Because they don't read patch notes
yeah it's currently still great for st dmg until it's nerfed
99% of people can't be fucked to pay attention until something slaps them in the dick
also, start getting into the habit of thinking of IP as the thing you just press to prevent rage overcapping
the second you start panic mashing it, you're killing your rage gen and you're not gonna get out of that hole
So my 437 forgestorm is simming 300 dps over a 447 crafted weap on ST, but 600 dps lower on AoE. Hmm...
That's how it goes, stats are strong in ae over most procs
Do I not want to press it any time my IP resource tracker wa is below half full?
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
Any other back day enjoyoooors in the chat?
in the grand scheme of things ignore pain is not that important to aim to keep up 100% uptime on
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
ah got it thanks
i'm not walking through lbrs for this, no way
does toxic retch become a 1-3 shot on 20s
not really above 20s, cuz ya, i'd stop counting past 20
it's a brutal healing check
it sets off my highest level of DBM noise anyways, nuke alarm sound
i normally get hit for 1 tick of it
No way this makes it through reset
It's tough but fine as long as your healer isn't asleep at the wheel and people get out of pools
granted I haven't really done keys since like week 3 :^)
how good is the back from sarkareth??
For some bosses in aid it fine its aweful for m+
My initial thought too. It's good for stuff like this to be called out though. It tells blizzard that if people are willing to do a 17 year old dungeon for a 1 hour duration item to kill a single dungeon boss, it might need a little tuning
It sounds like an accident that no one noticed til now and will probably get fixed
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
Naraxas (and Rokmora) are disproportionately difficult compared to most dungeon bosses even at +20
Yeah there are outliers I wish they’d tweak
The way people talk online though, they act like m+ is in crisis
Why people find rokmora hard tho
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
Meaning what?
This is not true.
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).
ya, i just mean don't let it live long enough that it can see the boss cast shatter
Yes that is how to do the boss.
god if it was every 5% the start of the boss would be so cursed.
Yeah lol. Rokmora, the one boss you'd never want to lust
Hey priest, you're holy for this fight
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 ?
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.
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
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 :)
Sim.
I would never recraft a piece purely to change its stats though.
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..
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
Sometimes it's just one of those days
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?
needs more slams and manual rend applications
tf is a heatbound release
its ome of these, honestly not a bad trinket at all for a green
Yeah I wondered what the hell that was at first too lol
No one going to mention that he is using whirlwind ? Lol
Well both people who responded were memeing that he should have played more incorrectly
its #5 on his dps
Yes. He had sonic boom. And barbaric training which is ironic af considering he only pressed revenge 15 times
well of course, it's more expensive now, gotta be careful how you use it
kek

wat buff
Defensive stance buff
ill take it
i actually scrolled really fast initially and thought it was an aura buff instead of just dstance lmao
wat funny
just pretty much a useless buff
wat u mean
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
meh, i don't know many uses for it in mythic dungeons
Definitely has its uses higher you go
freeholds cursed tonight
i joined a cursed group, 2 dragons 2 rogues
they didnt lust on first boss, and then we lusted and blew up to parrot
HE....... mother fucker...... he stood on top of where the boss spawns in
and then he immediately gets meleed twice, and we haeve no brez

LMAO
I made this my paladin's details nickname
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
It's better for people to stay close though so he's not going all over the place
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
ohhh
I honestly would sub to yogi if he streamed
I think he has a funny/good personality for streaming too
So I bought a G600 because I thought it would be great for all the extra keybinds we need
turns out i fucking hate this mouse lol
Is it true Vdh outheals bdk these days. Some guy in twitch saying that’s the case
Lol can you return it
nah cant be true
bought it refurbished, no takesie backsies 😦
Shoot
Send it to me, I'll take it as a freebie
Maybe you can gift it to someone yah lol
you cant outheal being immortal
honestly probably will, maybe some kid would make better use of it than me, im too much of a boomer to get used to something new lmao
the g403 tho, this thing is my jam
wish it had some extra buttons on the left mouse click though, that would make it perfect
Really? I love it.
im a g102 enjoyer
If you don't take damge you don't have to heal.
What don't you like about it?
What are these? Fancy gaming mouse with like 30 buttons or whatever?
but we're talking about outhealing
g600 has the 12 buttons on the side and a third mouse clicker
Ah
Highly recommend it
Yeah never used one and I feel like I’m too old to start now lmao
The third click was weird
I've used one for years
hey that's my mouse
I got the corsair version
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
So wait do you still use keyboard binds also or is the main ones on the mouse
I've seen bdk's hit over 200k hps but never seen a vdh do that so I don't think so.
how long ago did you get it?
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.
got it tuesday
Is the mouse treated as the main input for you guys or keyboard
my ring finger rests nicely on it and i just use it as shift
Mouse is defensives/utility. Rotational shit is still kb
People who do rotation on the mouse weird me out.
Yah that’s how I would do it also main rotation on keyboard makes more sense
Maybe I should try one 🤔
Like these are my paladin's mouse buttons (8 is bop but it's bound in clique)
I have a swifty macro so my rotation is one button 4head
and that button is spacebar
🙂
kek
Lol
I use the mouse right below the wheel for set focus, and I use mouse wheel right for my mount opie
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
you can reflect it
I’m a rotation on the mouse person 😂
Charge is e, ccs are on r, my kicks go on shift s
I’m pretty much an abomination
Oh dang I never even considered binding my backpedal button
When you see prot warr who’s almost 3k running 4 piece and heavy repercussions and bolster weird
It's not an exact science, using a gaming mouse =/= 100 parse, nor does not having one immediately mean you suck. Whatever works for you works for you.
I'd never unbind backpedal as a tank
fair enough, I don't know other classes well enough to even qualify to have an opinion on whats needed to play them anyways
I also know my tank anxiety would make me feel judged regardless 😅
um simple question does demo shout work against raid boss for damage reduction, like tank buster hit
yeah wow is nowhere near complex enough to even remotely require a gaming mouse to excel.
yes
Still have back pedal bound to s. Shift-s is the actual keybind.
Watching a prot warr on twitch he’s in defensive stance 100% of the time hmmm
Blizz prob sees most warriors in it all the time so buffing it back to what it used to be makes sense
🤔
OH MY god underott destroys me on cragmaw the infested
Were you in defensive stance
Yeah just group not stepping on ticks
it was too overwhelming
when he jumps and jumps again
its hard to kill him after that.. cos he just runs everywhere
from beginning i go to tank him at piles of bones.. then after he spits then run of 2nd time.. the eggs just goes everywhere
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
Gotta get them all or almost all of them
Otherwise the ticks overwhelm tank with bleeds
i guess if u can't clear blleeeds u not a good tnakk
in a +13 it doesnt matter what tank or spec you are, you guys just arent doing the boss properly
Yeah that’s a pretty poor take from what we just talked about to be honest
i cant win with freehold
Where are you having issues?
oh just yogi problems we beat the key, over time but im disgusted with that key
U got video
if you do the boss right there's no bleeds TO clear
"my group fails at this mechanic" != "This tank sucks because he can't cover for a shit group"
Crawmag can be toxic AF though if you have a group full of mouth breathing keyboard turners
Just have to remind people that if they want to time the key they just have to give up uptime for the ticks. If that doesn’t fix it it wasn’t meant to be.
Wish the block list was bigger for this reason.
Can get blacklist addon
BE MY FRIEND
“Friends” only hold u back. Pug life is only way to live
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6XpcG2EtJ_8 nobody at all: ...
tanks after dps and healer die on boss:
Remember that no matter the tribulations you are currently facing in life, you mustn't give up. Be like "Vergil's Chair", even amidst a storm, we must stand firm. For when the storm passes, the sun will shine on us again.
Stay motivated brothers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
reminds me one of my hymdall kills
never noticed how little damage he did
soloed him on +20
Solo half the bosses in Nel
Watch the enh shaman get a forgestorm for eating gravel half the key
Sugma lmao
bro i gotta macro anvil to like mortal strike or something
i always forget to cast it as dps
lul
Apparently people are bringing three tanks to rashok because people don’t understand the tank swap mechanic
have you tried not being shit?
I would really like to see a raid group be meeting the dps check on mythic rashok with 3 tanks
that is honestly just impressive
idk the reason for bringing 3 tanks to rashok tbh
Oh I’m talking about heroic some random stream I’m watching lmao
heroic lmfao
Yah LOL
link the stream I wanna watch
oh the tanks left
while I do mythic rashok
wait is this the same group with the tank who wouldnt leave def stance?
Same stream different group he in now though
I watched him with a prot warr in 23 underrot warr was in defenseive stance entire time. Then another prot warr in 23 freehold also in defensive stance entire time
So leads me to believe prot warrs are just out there always in defensive stance
I can almost respect dstance in high keys, but in heroic raid 
I mean still weird though they stay in d stance on packs of mobs and their health bars just not moving.. I’m talking the entire time
I think most people don’t swap stances
Like a heavy majority
Sometimes I'll swap to dstance for a heavy fort pull, and then forget about switching for the next 3 minutes >.>
TRY DN
This is the way
I just stuck at it
yeah def
I mean they missed timing the underrot by 34 seconds maybe some extra dps could of made up for it.. but yeah who knows
people in 18s/19s are so weird to me holy shit
does shatering throw work on afflicted again?
or do wars have nothing still for them
it never worked on afflicted, youre thinking incorporeal
oh, ok the one that has the immunity is what i meant
i remember they gave it to us, then reverted it
we have zero ways to deal with afflicted
is it now back where it works again?
ok, and what is more valuable - extra socket on gear or 3 ilevels for helmet?
sim
this shit right here
why is this even a thing lmao
like holy shit its tyrannical week he'll obviously go by 3 of the chains so who cares
on a 18, so stupid lmao
thank god for shit like personal blacklist
the rogue said the hunter was apparently complaining before I joined
im like huh
This game’s player base man, so toxic
Yeah
smh my head
Just pathetic is what it is
yeah fr
yea i feel bad for the guy
Illidan people out in force these days though
I’ve had a lot of rough interactions with illidaners
Just lot of tryhard with bad attitude
ive had it in every server, but i know some moonguard dudes from a certain guild that are just absolute dicks
Yah I can see that
Dude probably watches MDI on repeat and has a waifu pillow of (insert top Hunter)
Lol
he does, but he missed the entire point
i dont doubt it
a nelth will not be done on a tank missing a chain on tyrannical week
especially not on an 18
Def not
I'll DStance in HC for Zskarn Bomb pickup, Neltharion wall breaks and Sarkareth bombs. Otherwise it's BStance all the way.
There's no reason not to DStance for those particular moves, because you aren't doing DPS while they happen anyway
It's fine as a CD, I mean neltharion wall break you're going to be out of melee for a little anyway so not much in the way it of lost dps
yeah well zskarn duty is for dps offtanks anyway
but the other 2 im not gonna be in danger anyway so shrug
well i dont bomb pickup as a tank anway either on sark
Not about if you're gonna be in danger though in those situations.
i get that
It's just saving the healers some effort
cool
i wouldn't advice against it, its a good swap
I quite like my healers, so I give them an easy time where I can
depends on if its actually gonna hurt, like mitigating tiny dmg for the sake of tiny dmg doesn't matter, but like if you're taking unnecessary dmg to the point where healers are gonna waste mana then go dstance
I mean they cited specific examples where you lose uptime anyway
i think it is kind of silly to say dstancing for the specific examples listed is a preference kind of thing or doesnt matter but eh whatever
we're not in each others' raids who cares
Just as long as no one says doing it in those scenarios is a loss, no one gets stabbed.
I'm not here to uplift anyone heck you.
/poke
Sorry bro need to do +27 strats to time this key that requires the dps to do 80k overall dps to time the key without abusing chains 🥺
lol
Gotta use chains to compensate for the ragnaros spriest that's pulling 35k and eating dirt every other pull
I'm not sure if you know this
But
People pull that DPS regardless of their server.
But somehow it's always that one when I notice it
So your desire to mention that server must be seeded in something else.
I wonder what.
Hmm
It's not my fault they have a lot of bad players on ragnaros
Ah yes the ragnaros affix
There's a lot of bad players on every server you bigots

I'm this close to deciding that Underrot is the worst key to pug after the truly terrible ones I've been in this week.
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.
There was one where I soloed the last energy bar of last boss because I couldn't be bothered to deal with them just dying again
And we wouldn't time it either way
the healer brain check is just real in 20s
huge coinflip if you get some dumper who does 1 key a week
Loving when they run the cleansing circle out of the group
That boss gets easier the less people are alive
Nextr week is incorp/sang
GHASH
i don't know what made this week tyr so intimidating for me to want to heal
bnet answer pls
but maybe i'm just burned out
I would if I wasn't already in a group 😢

Is NA-Ragnaros like EU-Kazzak?
Server tribalism is the weirdest shit ever
You can swap servers

Never understood the "X server people suck"
Kazzak is a dice roll; Sometimes you roll a natural 20 and get a god. The other 19 times you get a mouth-breathing idiot who can't tie his own shoelaces together without strangling himself.
Such a broad generalisation to make
Experience
Literally no EU server does more 20+ keys a week than Kazzak, so if you're being biased against Kazzak, you're just kneecapping yourself.
It's almost as if kazzak is one of the biggest horde servers in all of wow
Same can be said for literally any big server
And the laws of percentages literally imply that you're obviously going to run into more bad people on a more popular server.
yea
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
i just don't invite anyone into my m+ groups, that's how I dodge having anyone worse than me in there
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
Well, but they also house the good players
Cuz ain't no good player hiding on low pop server
Imagine that the servers with the good guilds, have good players, more breaking news at 7.
Atleast logically speaking
Best PUG healer I ever saw was from an RP realm
No reason to be on a small server, but theres also no big downsides anymore
Servers in general don't say much these days
Besides who's guild you can join
Especially with this cross realm trading shit coming in
We making toons on any server baby
I'm making toons on servers for names now
But yeah it's basically all just one giant server at this point, the more and more they tie it all together.
I think after 10.1.5 the only thing that'll be notably realm restrictive is pre-hof mythic raiding.
I am from the best server
true
^
Me and yogi r on the same server so u no it is the best
I swear I saw him in val one time.. or maybe it was a dream..
You know where to find us.. 52nd length x width
exactly why you have giant servers like rag with reputations. Adding to that a lot of the best players tend to avoid pugging due to the language barrier
A very significant number of good players anywhere will have statics or prioritze guild runs
If you're gonna ignore high pop servers when pugging you're gonna be chilling in queue a lot
I almost never pug; just ping my guild discord and go
Another groundshattering observation
Sheesh
keep em up Zeta
Pug life is only way to master this game
Only when you delve into the depths of pug life do you really find your true self
I feel like Rag;s reputation is probably more due to a lot of high io players who really underpreform. Like ive had 3kio players do half tank dmg
Dude I actually made friends with some rag players I was learning Spanish from them they’re funny as hell
Don't play stupid, you know very damn well why Rag receives it's reputation.
One added me to their friends list LOL he still whispers me to do transmog runs
It's because they're not white.
contrary to popular belief, not everything is racist
while we all work to create a world while race is not ever considered, people bringing up color every 5 seconds are not helping. Im not going say anything else cause this isnt some political discussion channel
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
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.
Yah the situations are different
Yes but as highlighted by many every server has bad players
well they can't be blue. blue is not a human color
So there's a distinct reasoning one would feel the need to mention ragnaros
over other servers with bad players
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.
Like you can just say I fucking hate bad players, full stop
bad players kinda own tbh
it's both relatable and also you're like man, i could be worse!
It's fun to have like, 1 bad player in a pug, especially if they're self aware
then you guys just riff the entire dungeon
Not me
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 
"We are only human" while true does not excuse generalisations
Yah it bad to generalize
The best players are alliance from Area 52
Why tho? If it is a real pattern
It's like bless your heart
1 person or 100 people does not mean that millions upon millions of others are the same just because they have similar traits
It’s a slippery slope and unwise
Should try to treat everyone as a individual, as we are
So there are no norms to guide us?
looking for patterns is human and scientific like sure, looking for patterns to attribute negative behavior trascends race/language/etc
Bad players are on every server, are you going to avoid every server?
i only play wow irl
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.
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
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
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
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
Sure, but we are limited beings, so would it not be just to base it on personal experience so far?
Well that’s why it’s bad to make decisions based on just one data point
Try to get as many as possible
Yes but have you ever thought something but know it's not wise to say it?
there's also the concept of negative reinforcement
There is, indeed
"I always stub my toe on that table"
Table must be the reason. Yep
Well no, you don't, but every time you do you notice it, not the hundreds of times you dont
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?
no it wouldnt be alright
How come?
i feel that, we've said this like 5 times already

maybe he has double casters
TRUE
its a good pick
I guess the answer goes back to if you believe in objective moral truth or not
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.
Think of all the headache you will save yourself from, tho
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
just gotta make the effort to start thinking without generalizations
im not a saint
i generalize from time to time
but you're cute as heck
but then i try to step back from that
NO U ARE 
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'
those percents arent really proven
Lol you say morality as if it’s not the most important thing there is
your numbers will never hold up on a probabilistic study
If you're running into grumpy DHs in 99 out of 100 keys, there's only one common denominator actually
And that's you
youre trying to put numbers on something that is absolutely not a statistical study, feelcrafty
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
They're also kinda grumps because we kinda killed their big baddie like 3 expansions ago and they're getting restless
JESUS MY EYES
It is not an example, it is a point to see where you draw the line
what was the one i was looking for
Sure it does, if you got burned 99 times, would you still put your hand into the fire for the good results?
How many times do you give away all your belongings?
your scenario is not something you can replicate in real life
Yeah but fire is objectively going to burn you.. human dh player is not a confirmed negative experience
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
Let us say 1/5 Vs 1/4
If 20% of my interactions with a server are bad
No I'm not going to avoid that server
Also
I don't write down every server I game with anyways
Who actually keeps track of that number though
WHO
WHOOOOOOOOO
apb's bait persona would, but that's a fake person.
So you got no line, no gut feelings or personal experience?
Lol.. yes… bait…

Remember the golden rule
I am just glad you guys are purist and unyielding, fanatical devout to your stances
Ah
Yes battle stance in my case
I mean I just try to treat everyone as an individual.. based on their merits and actions. Try to give people benefit of the doubt if I can
Well ya we are only human
Golden rule is absolute
Not generalising is hard, but that doesn't make generalizing okay.
Generalisation could save you from a lot of negative experiences, no? Better stay safe with option B to X
Time to move on because you're now resorting to melodrama.
Only a sith deals in absolutes
Never going outside could save me from a lot of negative experiences.
Does that mean I should never go outside?
Sure, if that is the option you want to take for yourself
youre reflecting
i dont think our takes are purist at all
your absolute IS purist
Like generalize all you want, we don't give a shit, but don't be all pikachu faced when we comment on it.
Is it though? You are the one stating to ignore your guts, experiences and data
Honestly seems you’re relying more on feelings and emotions than logic and data tbh
Tell you what, you record every single interaction you have with everyone from every server you play with. Don't discriminate on your invites. Come back to me in a year with that data, and maybe then you'll have a leg to stand on.
yep all hypotheticals
Interesting, so you would then accept the data as proof and change your stances
I follow a streamer that actually keeps log of every one of his negative pug groups and illidan appears in there the most if I recall correctly
Can we give him two legs if he's right?
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
idk if rag has as many players but its def up there with pop
and it STILL isnt something that should be taken as statistical as it is
its a mega mega server
So Latin American share the same norm set as Americans online?
...what?
I am from the EU. There are differences between Scandinavian, Baltic and French norms. So I am curious if your norms are the same?
Humans got different cultures and values
Rag is 10th in The US/OCE/LA/BR/ETC category as far as population via Raider.io tracked characters (I'm trying to find the definition but I have to poop)
Indeed, cultures - your groundwork is based on upbringing. It is not only genetic
im not talking about genetic anything
You said all humans are the sme
☝️
I am talking culture
I mean even in America there’s a lot of cultures. Our country is the size of Europe
we're talking about gaming, not if people shit on sitting toilets or floor toilets
what a dumb argument, culture
I poop standing up, it's my culture
Are you talking about server culture lol like the culture of a server?
You brush it away so easily. But that is what I am asking
What are you asking
Is there perhaps cultural crashes, in what is acceptable. Be it language, behaviour or actions
If all is the same, then it is what it is
Yeah, if you gather that data then I will change my stance.
Neato, I like that
But you have to show no prejudice in inviting people.
What French norms are there when someone from Hyjal joins your key?
Do you instantly surrender or?
I haven't played enough with them to know
Oh cool so you're making shit up again
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?
Sure, some seem to leave more often in my experience. So if I do a weekly key, I avoid Blackmore if I expect bumps.
A server on EU
Thanks for the vague posting
so what cultural trait do they have that you have to avoid them?
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
Based on what
A few years of WoW personal bias
I thought that would be quite clear, it bears no weight.
But how many peoples
100s if not thousands, maybe tens of thousands.
What about Lordaeron and Tichondrius?
No experience with those servers. Probably not in the same group
how long have you been playing WoW?
Interesting, but I can't say I have. Most to all are from other servers
Are they perhaps horde?
Is what horde?
The server population
60/40
Hm, can't say I played with them though
Anyways, back to Nim's question how long have you been playing?
Since alpha
What languages do you speak?
English, Spanish, some German, and ofc Scandinavian is all understandable
Danish vocals tho, is potato language
so you guys have issues to launch the game this morning ? I'm disconnect all the time without even choose my character
No problems EU side
Yeah, there's known issues affecting D4 that seem to be affecting WoW a bit as well.
https://twitter.com/BlizzardCS/status/1672845436338466816 People in the replies saying that they're having trouble with WoW too.
[#D4] We are investigating the login issues affecting Diablo IV and working to resolve these as soon as possible. Players may experience queues while we work on the issue.
🤷
Try swap sever before char screen
I had my name flagged and was force to rename, chose my same name and couldn't log in for like 15 minutes because "That name already exists" 😦
well, I'm already disconnected before that
Ya doomed, Alcor 
:/
happens, when i faction changed it screwed me up a bit
Name doesn't go with?
Yeah, I'm getting the same issue. Seems to fail when retrieving the Realm List. EU here.
😦
Aight, memo to self, don't log out
Oh man, I gotta talk to yogi about this Brackenhide tomorrow
any idea how to join the chat where crafters spam in chat ? it just disappeared
/join trade should get you back in
Try chat settings
what the fuck happened in chat
also tichondrius and illidan are the worst on NA don't @ me
Wouldn't have bricked it if you had less vers tbh
hero forgestorm 
yes good
1/2 way tempted to go run that damn freehold again
4% throthak wipe temporarily broke me
Truth. What other stat reduces damage taken?
i should not be fucking wiping to freehold....... of all places.....
Uldaman Tyr is legit ridiculous. Poor healers.
nah, fort uldaman pugged on a low key is a true experience
part of the issue you had is bolster, which is quazi fort
when you got a dude on a +12 on the second pack that enrages, and then since you didnt hit shield block or turn shield at him, hes melee-ing you for, what was it? 350k? 400k? normal white hit melees... what da hell... lol
Why not?
TROTHAAAAAK THE SHARK PUNCHAAAAAARRRRR
he punched my group with his sharks
and then his shark chased me and i died at 4% with the other remaining dps
cuz, with 2 targets, you are ALWAYS one of the targets, or both
literal evillaugh.wav in that footage
healer just to aware how that boss works i guess, its a bit tough
ideal strategy is to take him to 2 , or preferably 3 or more blood pools, and healer is somewhere near that, where they have at least 1 blood to block and another nearby, takes 2 pools for sharks to go away what i've seen
i kekked
nah
Who?
naur
tbf i cant walk anywere in wow right now
Hello, I have a question
Is the onyx annelet nerf already effective ? Do we take the defensive build or do we swap the item for other thing ?
wut
10.1.5
and youll just not play annulet anymore
the "defensive" build is garbage
Okay I have time for now then, thank you !
very tempted to
run a few dungs a week again
In between classic HC plays
But 2 lazy 2 deal with learning new dung pathing + forming pugs
^ which unless I know the ideal pathing, puggers will hate me lol
absorb annulet bullshit
how do i log in to wow now o.o
GG
is there any diff between doing one shield block charge at a time, or just ripping them both?
there is a maximum duration but it’s like 2.5x one sb or something
if you don’t need the rage to revenge it’s not a big deal, but yknow. be thoughtful I guess
Longest ive seen the buff stack to was 32 seconds
but generally no, other than rage conservation or saving a charge for the next pack
an over time run wasn't going to sit with me
gotta do enough of these that i can get invited into better io groups at 16s
NL 16 is free 
is going left an option for brickenhide this week
i struggled with bolstering totems and constant poisions on my paladin cant imagine how it will be on warr
?
going left after the trio
i think there are a lot of stalkers there which might be worse bolstered ig
do u guys use bitter immmunity for brickenhide?
The poisons are nothing, wat?
yeah you might want to check what you're actually struggling with via logs
maybe if the poisoners get bolstered its really bad
idk what was going on
i was cleansing on cd
they said a totem got bolstered
For Underrot - Crawg fight, when do you leap out of indigestion? right after cast? before?
oh nevermind, range leap not cast leap
not sure totems can even be bolstered tbh
boss adds can't be or cause bolstering
no one is talking about a boss yogi
well its a summoned thing, non elite
those don't normally get hit by bolstering either
Also you shouldn't kill totems
you need to kill the rotsinger, which instantly despawns the totem
Usually if you start walking .5s before the cast, and you are not running towards an inclination, you can outrange it as when the boss starts casting it gets rooted, if you start walking right when the boss cast starts there's a high chance you'll get hit
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
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
first boss im pretty sure its i didnt drag the balls to boss
I feel like I have ptsd
zeralak cavern has been one of the most glaring failures I think I have ever witnessed
yeah you are right
i beat d4 campaign and stopped
Just come back in 10.1.5 and try pushing keys
I might play more then
Sorta just cruisin' til more catalyst charges
Maybe gear my dk then lol
ive level 4 of my other tanks
but just dont seem to have the drive to actually do any raiding or m+ on them
@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
Hey folks! Why is it so hard to apply for M+ 22 keys if you are a protection warrior?
?
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
Have you asked the group leaders why they are not inviting you?
I didn't think you were. He was just being polite about it while the priest was being a dick, so I get ignoring the priest
Nope, but I don't see any reasons https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/73863324?zone=34
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
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.
I know some people which doing that before invite someone 😄
i will say that im still ignorant of alot of things going on in keys
50/50 aware/not
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
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
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?
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
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
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
oh okay
For the record most people apparently think I’m a sociopath or something for doing this, so be warned apparently it’s in bad taste to whisper party leaders
Eh, just be polite. If they respond poorly, just ignore them and move on
Thanks for sharing, but tbh I don't care how people think about me, I just want to figure out it is possible to push m+ keys 22 and higher being a prot war
Fair enough, most will not respond, some will be honest with you
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.
it is possible for sure, I mean not in private party but with pugs
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".
All the other tanks have some kind of very noticeable self-healing that isn't passive leech or CDs like IV.
Lazy healers lazy.
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
Yeah that's a load of tripe.
spot the guy who's never healed
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.
that is so much leech
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.
you think healers can easily do 50k hps on st 
Yes? Dude, I literally run with healers that do it all the time, don't be daft.
max healer hps is like 300k with cds in aoe with massive rot
Maybe you can't, that's a you problem.

i feel so sorry for your healers
I barely trust healers to do mechanics :Pepelaugh:
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
spam healing wave on me i'm a prot warrior
You're literally the healer that doesn't heal his tank and then complains they die, sit down go literally anywhere else.
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
This game has become clownshoes tbh
nvm literally just realized why i have almost never healed pwar
they self select out after 22 lol 💀
healer spiked at all time of 108k
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
this is a log from said 14 freehold i ran today
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?
spell block is capable of blocking 100% of a spell, so whatever's on your shield the block number plus some other modifiers
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 💀
😬
ima delete that just in case
ehh well, true, just i dont know if you can do that without using another email
You can very easily
front page (warcraftlogs.com)
-> Settings (it's near the top)
Update username
👍
for that first pull of freehold you really want to just run into them and group them as you press thunderclap
my FB has been stripped down anyways and all my important shit is 2FA
you don't really want the charge travel time especially since it'll fuck up the positioning of the mobs, they'll trickle weirdly
U did more dam than the balance druid nice
Yeah first/last name isn't really a super big deal imo but i wasn't sure if you were aware of it
depends on the color of the hat of the person viewing it , if they even do
not all wizards wear a black hat
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?
you really ought to not press heroic throw so much either
i changed my username on the other log, just incase someone still had that window some reason
