hi Chef Nimchip here with a pug report on a 20 FH. Ret pally rager called Ellyanar, quit group after raging for 2 mins, not accepting repeated rezzes or BRs. Still got a 20 timed by 4 people because its FH.
who rages on a 20 FH lmao
well, that guy
with a 4 piece set i should just use last stand on cd right ?
well, you see, he plays a retribution paladin
i play warrior and a bit of dk
what is that addon that types in chat what person took some mechanic damage and all that shit
you've seen me play warrior imagine if i had bubble
i see some healers using it
ElitistHelper
if i had bubble, every key would go to shit
lay on hands and bop on others more like it
i do a lot of support as ret sure
thats the reason i dont like paladin
id rather focus on myself only
elitism helper is OK if you have it in SILENT or silent till end, or you turn it off completely if the keys completly shot,45 minutes OVER time
its not a positive addon i guess the correct people could get maximum value out of it
i dont do 20s anyway
Honestly blizzard never should of allowed certain addons
people wont accept me in anything above 15
Damage meters ruined wow I realized
the point that you start telling people that they got hit by, toxic death puddle, and then they die
i have seen more mages and whaever go absolutely bonkers ape shit over it appears in chat, DH too, all clases
and they get so mad they even leave the key mid pull
LMAO
my thought is that, if its at the end
fuck em
its already over
only if its 1 hour over the original timer, are you then being a dick for letting it display at end
so the guy keeps whispering our healer
apparently he has a twitch channel lmao
hes giga reported
which one has a twitch channel, the healer?
LUHMAO
our healer went "we just timed with the rest of the group, no worries, please watch your behavior"
I think yogi's point stands tbh :p
like this is one of those people that you dont even say anything and keeps raging
well yeah they gotta keep saying shit til they get someone to acknowledge them and validate their insanely fragile ego.
he went off during the dungeon about pulls and the only thing we said was "pally? you there?" when he didnt take BRs or rezzes
yeah
I pulled his twitch up for kicks
I mean...I only have 1 viewer right now, so does that mean I'm shit too? 😢
we're like why give him viewers anyway lmao
it was me, i was that viewer
no youre the best, you have the bestest 1 viewer
it is what it is
this season has been... interesting so far lmao
like usually these things happen occasionally but this season has been like bottom of the barrel since week 2, back to back
makes sense though
lots of games to play, d4/ff16/zelda/jedi surv/etc, healer pop going down etc
what happened to it?
I wanted to see him rage in real time. It's not autosaving the vod...? I guess?
so he raged cause i said someone body pulled the caster pack next to captain when i had triple'd already
but i was like nbd
lol
no wonder he was silly about big pulls as a prot pally main on FH
good prot pallies like ghash have no problems 
like based on wcl I have 20/30k more overall in dungeons than him from well over a month ago
lmao
whereas his are recent
thats what he said after our healer told him this
for the best
Oh no, you probably had to press more than 1 button on a tyrannical week
Random ragers are great for that evening entertainment
@lusty grotto another 20 FH let's do it
Thought you were afk and it instafilled. 😐
lol no worries
true true

Raid leader telling me to bank rage for the second attack combo on rashok 🙃
"why didnt you have ignore pain up for the second hit"
lol?

I told him thats not how the spec works
I mean you could pump IP but like unless it's normal you're not going to survive the combo if you take a double
Why do people think IP is our primary mitigation
its because im doing like 80k dps so every time I die it must be cause i'm playing offensive or whatever
Yeah I get that from my rl as well
"tanks shouldn't be focusing on damage" so I have to explain that warriors and more or less all tanks are built around the concept that optimized damage = optimized defense
Anytime someone tells me to artificially lower my performance I just exit the situation at that time and place
Life too short to not press my buttons
Like when you've got a rl who trying to blame shit healers or fucked gameplay because your not stacking IP...
just fucking taunt
and stop dying to tank busters
and then you never have to talk to people who dont know what at ank is
raid lead always blames tanks
Remember that poor soul who's RL actually came in here because they basically got told to get fucked when they had no external healing
people miss soak, or bad placement then its a tank positioning issue
That was some 
Raid leads and even other tanks give me the most crap I can’t deny it
I died a lot on experiments and then went in logs and I was recieving 4 million less external healing than other tanks who were 4 healing and we were 5 healing
Actually it’s usually other tanks I rip aggro from that I hear most crap from
while doing like 10% more self healing
than other tanks
parsing like a 95 on healing and taking the same dtps
I had this for the first week in this team, but now my cotank is solidly on team "I fucking press buttons"
I just quit a guild I was new in trying them out because I kept ripping aggro from their vdh and he had a bad attitude toward me
It was awkward
Also had a guardian tell me they'll "try and go easy on me" during an alt run 
Vdh getting aggro ripped
Wat
Like press buttons
Ya to be fair I have beacon and he didn’t
But he kept wanting boss first
Like a pride thing
It was weird
This is the situation when I do my all druid run, it only took one pull for them to stop debating who should go first
Yah exactly
Some tanks have a huge ego though and can’t be wrong
Same with raid leaders
Just awkward
1.3m damage on pull, 
i do not believe you
What you mean
I get in arguments and leave the raid if people tell me to lower my dps
Because I refuse to artificially lower my performance
idk i just dont believe u u would probably sit the raid down and fight them til you get kicked
I mean sure sometimes kicks occur but that is also fine as I go out on top in that situation
I leave still walking the high road
With my head held high
Not neutered by other weak tank//raid leaders
I’m not actually trolling though, I refuse to lower my dps for anyone
same
I invite you all to join me in this position as well to be honest
Don’t let others break you down in any way
Guilford I saw that

It me
I swear the average age of this discord is 40, sometimes.
I’m only 34
I'm early 30s thank you very much
Oops typo
Honestly wow has drained the youth from us. We may be technically in our 30s but really we more like a 60-70 range
ah yogi is 40? then hes older than me
I throw the average off
Do young people even play wow
Yes
got it! just wanted to say thanks to you gamerz. started a few months ago and this has been my go to community to ask questions and learn. apprecaite you ><
Not as many as did 16 years ago though
congrats!
Grats

grats brother
timer on neltharus said 1 in red (-1) and it counted for the 2500 point lmao
Minecraft is 13 years old
Dang
Ikr
Bruh I have MMO characters that are in their 20s
I sold my playstation for 3 cartons of cigarettes
thats a great deal
Actually that comment has aged fairly well, as a used PS5 goes for about the same as 3 cartons of cigarettes at current prices
But I meant the original playstation and when smokes were 25$ a carton
I never sold my main account, still have it
the first iteration of nimchip who was a wood elf druid
Along with the first warrior I rolled on April 1st 1999
i started wow as a rogue on a friends account, he told me to get mine but i had just recently quit eq1 and was like ugh, but eventually i did it and he told me to go warrior, i never went back
just a tad before aq server quests started
also that friend is the rsham that plays keys with me
I sold other accounts when I was living in a friend's basement and we had 9pcs setup to run pbae groups in fg to plvl characters in fresh accounts
lmaooo
$$$
i could have done that, i was a quad kite master in the dragons city on velious
OG sweaty neckbeard
my brother got really good at zone kiting on planes of power too it was hilarious how people would get mad about it
as a bard
Fucking bards
he had to do it on the wee hours
fg though
fuck i hated luclin
i cant explain it, i just didnt like it
I threw out a hip reading this conversation
It was an amazing expansion, if you could commit your life to fighting raidbosses that required bane weapons and were 90% immune to magic
lol
wait, so what do i actually do with Obsidian Aspectral Earthstone at transmog vendor. ive never transmog before lol
bro the names of the bosses were the most gibberish shit ever, that i do remember
did it unlock one of these?
Until you looked at gates of discord
i liked GoD, we killed mata muram a lot
someone call life alert for jordan
fucking masks
the first real personal responsability raid ever
CLICK YOUR MASK OR YOU WILL WIPE YOUR ENTIRE 80-120 player raid
"Tunat muram Cuu Vauaz"
Not as old as the dude sending voice chat messages
Hey omm wasn't bad compared to tunat, at least tanks could conceivably survive a single melee round
That's something only grandmas do i stg
❤️
true true
you remember this shit? new tank coming, gotta farm avatar of war for blades of carnage again, or planes of war/time for the other version of it
jesus christ lmao
tanking in that game was so bad
press taunt, rely on BoW or BoC procs
spam taunt rather
Flurry for 10,000....tanks have 16,000 hp raid buffed
bro did you malaise?
xD
i gotta be honest i think we just had like 15 tanks for tunat
I used rangers
they dropped dead, next one on agro
18seconds of melee immunity and flame lick produced scaling aggro based on NPC health pool
But yeah eq raiding was toxic af
Luclins end zone was a 10 hour trash slog
Hundreds of thousands of HP per trash mob and they all split into another trash mob
When your top DPS was pulling like 200
Sounds great they should bring that back
lol flame lick
that brought back memories
ssra was ok
vex thal i just didnt like
ss either
idk
i prefered PoP/WoD for raiding honestly
though i did dislike council of rathe a lot
that is one game that i would never play again, i had a buddy that went into a private server and i was like why
good nostalgic memories, absolute fucking insane to play it again
thats why i was so against classic wow servers, cause they did that shit on eq1 and i think the lady thats in charge of classic now was one of the eq revival people
the thing that just kept me in classic vanilla wow was just speedruns, i liked them a lot
and after we spedrun naxx i was like fuck this im done
no more
Holly longdale was indeed in charge of eq and was a big supporter of the TLP servers
its a good concept, i just dont think nostalgia is big on me i guess
Which, with 15 years of knowledge behind us and instanced raids they were not that bad
yea
I played on phinigel when it opened and even rather council fell over first try
oof
Legit nothing took more than one pull to down until Depths of darkhallow
DoD is when i quit on the main game
Mayong was a brutal fight
yea i remember we cleared mayong and also
we kinda gave devs info when doing the first fight with the gargoyles and the bells
when it first came out cause it was fucking unbeatable
at that time i was with Ascent on Maelin Starpyre
i cant remember if i played after that i dont think i did, i just remember MM was the last great fight i did
Huh, know a sk named Lardy?
rings a bell kind of
Was the co GM of my first guild, lost tracknofvhim but I know he was in Ascent for a bit
or lead was a druid also Kaidman i think was his name
you guys are such boomers talking about eq smh
next thing u guys are gonna post wife bad comics
bro i have screenshots still on an external hdd
i hate my wife haha so relatable am i right
I had moved on to bars hopping by the time dod came out back in 2007, GoD broke my neckbeard guild up on fennin
i know ascent eventually moved to wow though
and did great
for a bit then fell off the map
hmm i did e'ci, and then maelin, raided on both servers too
What’s prot warr utility in keys like?
Less than paladins more than....uh....we have rally and Battle shout
and reflect and intervene
Shhh

Last time I played warrior it only filled like half my bars
Just not many buttons?
This was season 1
Not many
its around the same as s1
Less than brm
being drunk?
idk it just isn’t cool for me
Paladin throwing shields like captain America is mid
and Druid is apparently pepega
If only it was that fun
Warrior always bis
I come from spriest
warrior def fun
Fast paced hyper mobile
until you get told to hold rage for IP for a tank buster 🙃
I just don’t want the brain dead ish
LOL
How’s the damage?
Better than it was
I mean it was sad for a bit
DH is like
Because they fixed a bug
Immo aura soul carve spirit bomb
Woah they pump
you can do like 90k on heroic
I’d only do M+ tanking
but mythic is more like 80k
Obviously your wipes are due to your obsession with DPS and not the grey parsing hdh
When you go into the pwar discord asking if you should play pwar, your decision has already been made
you just want the homies to kiss you on the forehead and tell you it'll be okay
and that's what we're here for
Real
They nerfed augmentation evoker’s rallying cry to 16% max health.. after I complained about it in here the other day… this must mean only one thing
A blizzard dev read what I wrote in here and made the change
I think they should delete guardian druids
i think they should not add a new tank spec in 6 years
despite evokers clearly being set up for one
🙃
por que
Why do i cant convert certain items to tier in the catalyst ? the items are all hero+
im a new player and this shit is confusing
has to be the highlighted items
its needs to be from m+ or raids
oooh
cant be the zaralek or fyrakk stuff
that might be why then
yeppers
thanks mate
nw
suffused items can be converted, but not the rest.
someone in a pug told me that pulling the hulking berserker will debuff the first boss in uldaman? anyone knows what this does?
Causes it to do and receive 20% increased damage
If it actually works, I've never tested myself
permanently? or only when the hulking berserker is alive?
ahhhhhh
With the shadoflame orbs on Mythic Rashok, how much control does the tanks position have over where they spawn?
It's an aura so only while it lives I assume https://www.wowhead.com/spell=369806/reckless-rage
Causes all allies within 20 yards to inflict 20% increased damage and take take 20% increased damage. In the NPC Abilities category. A spell.
ok sounds right. thank you!
It's a buff that is applied, the berserker doesn't need to stay alive after it is cast. It happens once when the berserker hits 50% hp.
I've used it before on bromach, it did work. However recent attempts the buff didn't apply to bro, so they may have quietly fixed that.
Tbf still pretty free trash to pull into the boss though
The tank combos? I use spell block for the first to. And spell reflect when i get a flaming slash hit. On the second combo when i need to soak i go into def stance too. The third combo is with def stance and shield wall. When i am about to take 2 hits i use victor rush in between thise two hits. I had bark for an external but we use that now for other players. Earthen crush with wall up sometimes does no damage at all.
the magic damage one is the issue
like if I don't spell reflect even with def stance and wall up it will one tap me sometimes
at the beginning i had a def trinket for that too. but this is a dps encounter and we struggle atm with the last %. so i switched back to beacon and anvil. but spell block helps. and since it lasts for 30 seconds you have it up for the first two combo sequences
maybe you can compare your damage intake:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/7rKpd4mQByFWxgwR#fight=32&source=10&type=damage-taken&sourcebuffs=392966
this is only with spell block up
Spell block right before the first combo, shield slam the third, ezpz never have to leave bstance
Although you should tbh, and I just pop in to dstance for the combo then back out
Other than that clear right away after slam, or at least before you hit 2 stacks and you should be golden. Spell reflect if you’re taking slash
Shield slam?
I alternate between shield wall and dstance+SR+external
If you play properly you get shield wall back
When I die on rashok my raid lead tries to explain how to play my spec for me, so this can’t be any worse
I literally had to just go full defensive stance cuz I had no time to adjust
going from mage to war tank was... unexpected
things like this is why i don't think i could ever try and raid mythic or equivalents again in my life
you get 0 externals while your co-tank claimed 3 ironbarks, ask for one if you think you need it, better save than sorry
I need to get used to asking for externsls
I probably wont have to tank this again...
Yeah, that's the biggest thing about raid is that externals exist
But I would rather be prepared if the need arises again
Press Thunder clap more often, try to avoid caping rage, and remember last stand is a good ability. You can have it up for 1 tank slam each phase. I try for the third one in each phase, spell block right before the first one, and shield wall the third
Swapping to dstance for all of them
It's something you'll have to push through as a tank, because the average non-tank doesn't understand that sometimes, a tank needs an external to smooth their damage intake to manageable levels for healers, either to reduce focus on the tank to let DPS get healed or to have them not die to frequent tank buster type mechs
I ended going full dstance cuz I felt so squishy
Im so not used to taanking mythic
Im also super spoiled by my keys healer
Also, I haven't kept up with raid this patch at all, but isn't Imp Wall still better than Defender's Aegis? You get more uses of Shield Wall overall, allowing you to have it more often for the big mechanics
rashok is really constant. so i would get use to a pattern and repeat it. so you know the damage intake you take on every pull. thats why i use spell block for the first two. even if i would not get any flaming slash hits. and then repeat.
Like I don't have to ask for externals cuz he just knows
Im sure if I manage to stance dance properly I should be able to do a lot better
Also, you did only get 5 spell reflects out; you can probably eke out some extra DR somewhere in the fight I wager, since SR's CD is actually pretty small. I don't know how often the flaming slash stuff comes out since I haven't looked at raid, but if there was more than 5, you likely could have gotten extra use
Yeah, just looking at the timeline, on a minimal level, you likely could have gotten an extra SR out for Flaming Slash at least. I'm not sure if there's something else it's better used for, but if you're using it for slash, you've missed at least one
I probably should look at some povs
About 30% of your damage intake total was also Overcharged; I'm assuming that's a dot you take from flaming slash or something?
I thought I was gonna be dpsing tonight so I was making it as it went
Lingering Sporepods is this season's
, right?
That's a debuff from a soak
I try to clear it asap but need to be careful with it some times
Well, it's Shadowflame damage, so you can also reduce that with SR, as well, if need be.
Considering it's the largest amount of damage you took throughout the fight, if it's unavoidable for whatever reason, worth looking into. Though it looked like it was close to flaming slash timings, so SR can probably pull a bit of double duty
yeah he does the soak then the combo
The biggest thing I'd probably recommend just off the damage taken I'm seeing is that swapping to Imp Wall will likely give you a big survival buff
Since you're taking relatively frequent damage with spikes, so more shield walls overall is more benefit that a single instance having two back to back shield walls
Defender's Aegis is only better in situations where you're just not pressing your buttons (you're pressing them enough) or where you need literal back to back shield walls to survive
oh yea definitely go Imp wall
It ends up on like a 1.5 min to 2 min CD for Shield Wall with Imp Wall
I need help. I've run Nelth and vortex a combined over 100 times.
I do the raid every week.
I have 405 trinkets. The rest of my gear is 441-447. How do I get trinkets?
any weakaura that helps tracking disease / curse / bleed in M+ to help me use dwarf racail more effectivly ?
dark iron or just dwarf
dark iron get a bonus depending on how many they clense, right?
yee
Yes it's actually the original 
yeah, the main issue with the DID racial is that it doesn't actually do much if you can't cleanse
whereas 10% phys dr guaranteed is pretty good
Dwarf > DID because of the crit and the racial not tied to offensive gain.
I see, was thinking about the two of then, thought the offensive side had more value if timed well, while the normal dwarf racail act as an extra def layer if
I'll switch later probably.
cant find any weakaura, do u have any?
Your party frames should be tracking debuffs
I like glowy icone, am dumb man, need every thing in center of the screen XD
Then move your debuffs to the center of your screen?
I'm guessing what you're wanting is something to tell to you to press Dwarf when you have something on you that you can dwarf, sort of like the spell reflect WA that tells you when there's something you can spell reflect, but the problem is the list of dispellables you can't dwarf is quite small, where you can dispel just about every debuff, but don't necessarily WANT to use your CD on it.
i mean you use the dispel a lot in keys
yup exactly that.
but you don't use it like off cd in terms of usefulness and some keys you'll go the entire key without dispelling anything
in those cases using it as a 10% dr cd is kinda massive
or if you do any raids for ex
yaaa I see ur point. well let me give it a try, cant change my race for 72 hours I think, since I just did that.
Yeah there's one from 2018 but the list hasn't been updated so it's useless.
I mean if you already went did it's pretty pointless i think
if you're already any dwarf/ne it's very silly to change
there are people clearing 25s now without spriest without dwarf groups without NE, racial won't change this for you
the crit bonus in dwarf, does it count dirclty into ur sec stat or its like hidden value ?
dark iron does
perfect now don't overthink it
What do you do against the healing absorb+dot on Underrot 1st boss ?
be better at interrupting the boss/dps focus add
use defensive cds if the next cast isn't kicked
So that he doesn't do dmg during it ?
There's not counter "per se", just live with it and reduce damage taken
the only way the debuff applies is if you get hit by any spells in tthe fight
so don't stand in shit
don't let it cast
It's literally a kick fight. If people miss too many kicks, you die. If they do their job, you don't.
Aaaah - well there's something to learn every day
405? yikes. You can easily grab Drogbar rocks+stones from niffen quests, they're only 411 but it's a start. They're pretty OP for their ilvl
rocks are nutty stones not so much, but I remember with the set bonus I had stones simming on par with most veteran trinkets
Are we not using Lariat anymore? Looking at the pins I see the shadowflame ones being the best
Even if we were using Lariat, it would have at least taken a back seat for a while once people started replacing their S1 items with unsocketed S2s
So it's actually better this way. Don't have to worry about simming Lariat every time you get a new socket XD
HoI tunnel dragons kinda rape wtf
You can out range the breath
Sorry, once more. Just died to creeping rot whilst stood on the other side of the boss
So it does happen, I thought I was crazy.
Didn't log the runs where that happened to me
ya, it travels forwards like a wave from both boss and adds, have to aide step on tyranical
Yeah but still, like that must be 7-10 yards removed from the creeping rot itself
Could it be like a Dark shaman situation, where the hitbox is slightly backwards too, and you have to move out of range of the boss ?
you just die if you take one to the facron tyranical
I think you're missing the point, If you look where the boss is facing and where i'm standing you can see that the creeping rot goes directly opposite from where i am.
just side step it and collapse the adds into a pile on her so yhey get cleaved and dont nuke the group
Probably, from now on i'll just stand 10yds away in the opposite direction at the very least
i dunno, why it would hsce went behind her, if theres a 1 add it gets cast twice
Yes but the add wasn't casting it. Hence my point as mentioned above
yeah, that doesnt look right to me viewing the image
Btw, is the breath of last uldaman's boss still LOS able? I couldn't do it last time I went
In this image you can see him halfway during the creeping rot cast and the add is casting a blood bolt
Did the ret die too? S.he was slightly further away on the first screenshot
He survived, so i guess its a boss AoE thing like you mentioned
Welcome to dragonflight where ground effects are 5x the size they appear
Well guys, I was informed before the weekend thst the pinned raid build is a dps tank build
I thought I'd let you all know that some rando knows better
In Underrot, first boss; https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/qFQtfJ6CRVk2rP73#fight=6&view=replay Can see at 3:52 Elder is casting creeping rot, and I move nearly directly behind her. Can see where she is facing while casting–wish I had a stream of this one. And when it went off, at the last millisecond she turned and faced me because I had t...
it appears you are right to be upset and that this is indeed a "fucking blizzard, stupid game" moment
he says baically same things you did also with a log
Weird, well at least i now know to just keep a big ass distance
i dont know how much storage space you have pn your computer device, but if you have a large muli terrabyte drive get outplyed and it records everythijg and then ypu can just chop the clips into 20 second segments
has tendency to bloat windows to death if you dont lots of fre space
i deleted alot, not all, of the dead air recordings i had, wq and shot, still over 1tb of recordings
they always do

protection warrior is so misunderstood by outsiders looking in
well the ret is slight further back
and creeping rot is a circle
that goes forward
it does actually hits behind the boss at the start of the cast
tanks are*
Yeah exactly, so just having to stand back a bit further then. Mystery solved. Still feels stupid tbh
Felt stupid on every boss that had this issue.
I mentionned Dark shaman, I also had issues on Thok later in the raid.
I'm sure they are many more that bothered melee
Warriors have an extra layer of misunderstanding in defensive stance, people think it's like a druid not using bear
I managed to use the concept of self sustaining to get someone to drop the stance argument "I lose 15% leech by using defensive stance, so it really balanced out" 
The worst part is the dude saying the shit about "his spec is a dps spec". Is the dude tanks on a dk, warrior and I think paladin
So he should have some understanding. But meh, idc. Talk all they want
I'm scared to see the spec he uses on his warrior
Happens with every tank everyone thinks if you don't go X, Y, Z talent you're not built for defense.
Probably runs double wall
It's legit retarded. He takes all defensive talents together
Has 2 heals, all Stam talents. Dunno what his rage Gen looks like
Anytime someone mentions double wall I have them look up the words "sequentially" and "simultaneously"
It'd be pretty sweet if we could find a way to fit enduring alacrity into our build ngl
Yeah it would be
(:
that sounds like an excuse for "i know i'm an idiot for running this build i run it anyways though and blame the healer"
K
I prefer "good luck everyone else!"

most likey not, but i may or may not be consumed by the great canadian wildfires
we have forest fire around my location, still way out of town, but smoke is all through town anyway
Jesus, smoke must be awful, I remember living in Sask and the BC wildfires were absolutely killing my lungs
ground zero's gotta be some kinda nasty
It's a hazy mess in Ottawa this am
I guess the climate potato saying the world was gonna end last wed was more right than I'd imagined
Good luck Canada!
yeah, im looking at the ottawa live camera for streets
and its about that much smoke bit more here
That was sask in general, with a little bit of Deliverance mixed in for good measure
New prot warrior. Been tanking for a week or so. Going to tank the normal raid tonight.
Excited but nervous.
Don't panic, just pump!
Going to try to get the wa for spell reflect installed. That ability is out of my reach right now
without doxxing my self too much, thats the view across the street i have at the moment
I haven't kept up on it.. Are the fires under control now?
I should really stop being a degenerate
They were and then they weren't
That's not ideal
i live in canada and we had a LOT of smog yesterday
where's that google maps guy
good luck with that
not from road level and might be diferent backdrop on google anyways
that + tos lol
nah there's a guy I keep seeing around
who sees like a spec of dust on the pavement
and knows exactly where it is in the world
there is obviously quite a bit of luck involved and the clips where he misses are usually not shown
but he'd know where you are 
I have to say getting into pugs is nuts atm. And when I run my key, they deplete it.
Be more selective of who you invite and which groups you sign up for. I've gotten more picky about those and had nearly 100% success rate since.
What ilvl of tank correlates to pugging what level of key? Guild groups I do great but pugging is almost a -5 or so of key level.
Well signing up for groups with my kind of rio = fail groups, higher rio = rejected
There are people with 2700 that still ignore how to handle several key fights, where to use defensives, what to kick, etc.
There's not really any major correlation between ilvl and what key you're supposed to be doing, since you can both clear keys a lot higher than what most people expect if the group plays and/or coordinates well and clear much lower keys than you really should if bad play and bad coordination are both in play
The real best thing is to just kinda try and get better at vetting pugs
IO's effectiveky a useless metric (hence scenarios in the message directly above), so you're best bet would be to actually try and pull logs of people who apply/who you're applying to
You can just glance at things like how many interrupts they use/do they even press defensives/etc to get a quick idea
In your case, Star, it's a little difficult to vet people like this due to most capable players who would be running mid-tier keys being alts without much history to base off of
but you can at least try and find people who are absolute avoids/dodges
Or if you have time to spare, just eat the bad group and run again; there's not that many bad players out there
20-21 is mid-tier ? (honest question)
well no
Not really, but in terms of what people discuss here, sometimes
its top 6%
Yep
It's better than what almost the entirety of the playerbase ever runs
its easy just run 8 20 freeholds a week
But there's also players who push higher, and there's also players who don't even care to push M+ at all
impossible to screw up that key
jakey don't make me start this patch just to find some degen groups who will try their damndest to brick that key
LOL guess what just happened while you were typing 🙂
i'm certain i can find someone who chat commands all their spells
in a 20 probably yer
warlock can't avoid the bird dash
no one using defensive for bosltered +6 shattered bellow
There you go
well
I have found this season as Prot Warrior to be one of the worse… I have never had issues getting into groups I wanted wether it be 20s for portals or just 17s for gear farm. They see brown tank and they just run for the hills! Sucks and I understand why ppl chase meta specs
u shouldnt be getting a +6 bolstered shattering below
When you pull the 3 packs downstairs at start
i dunno i dont have an issue
yer
u mark the enforcer
as skull
it dies nearly first
I haven't been invited to a single group this patch smh
With the kind of players I described, do you really think they follow that mark ?
prot war life too suffering
well i literally only pugged
so im in the same wheel house
so yes
because they did for me
Well none of the group I was in did that
@jagged pier if your IO is like 2400 you will not be getting pug keys @ 20
Skull's one of the few things your average player will actually follow
I've ran Freehold 3 times this week
If you do you paying your way
because 2500 is all 15s in time
your far to low to try and pug a 20?
in terms of IO
and pugging
Regardless I have 2620 io religiously run into issues
I am 2700 and life is hell trying to get into 20-21s
What I am saying star ⭐️
cool im 2.7k too
🤷
what do u deem an issue getting into a key being declined once or somthing?
I spent 1.5 hours today : all declined, two accept and fail at 1st boss
from my experience, skull means dps don't want to kill it as it looks dangerous and it alwasy stays alive the longest 👍
i dunno i did all 8 of my keys on friday within like 4-5 hours or somthing
🤷
there we 2 groups that fell apart as well
You probably have a better Tmog, it's the only logical explanation
It was probably the tmog
Fuck My Tmog is never on point
Jakey's style is unmatched
it is pretty fire tbh
Are you 9/9 Jakey? I'd def take a tank that cleared mythic raid over someone who hasnt
my 20 key was quickly ruined - and the 19 BH was ruined at 1st boss as well
Send a pic 😉 My Tmog looks like absolute pally so I do identify as a meta tank, works like a charm
Ah yes that could be an explanation as well, as I don't set foot in mythic raid and heroic 8/9 in my small F&F guild
bold of you to assume your average pug even looks at that and considers it, considering how quickly they tend to make decisions
tbh, if the RIO addon shows it, people will use it as a decision parameter
smh jakey's too humble to admit his tmog is objectively stronger than 95% of wow players could even attempt to make
True, I've heard people not wanting to invite mages because "they can't dispel affix"
🤩
Honestly, I have 0% idea what the Rio addon even shows; whenever I vet people, I glance at logs for things like interrupts/defensives pressed like I mentioned above
It's served me pretty well, overall
Even if the key fails, people are generally pretty chill, too, then
Damn you go so far to check, I barly look at the IO/Ilvl and it's usually ok enough
If the name is witty, insta invite
If the note makes me laugh I'll invite too
I wouldn't know the range of "good numbers" for interrupts and defensives per run
We basically carried a hunter who had a note "Yo moma is pogga" because it made the healer laugh lol
It's pretty god damn noticeable if you actually start checking
When large swaths of the population press their interrupts around twice a Mythic+ run
you'll notice the people who catch over 50+ casts
Most of the time I just kinda get whatever would make the people I'm running with not bitch at me, because they have zero idea about how to vet people and like to whine about "blaaaaaaaaaaaaah we don't have lust for our +12 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"
and i traditionally have enough time to spare on just mashing my face into keys, so I don't do it often
i cant wait if i get forgestorm in vault it means i dont need to run m+ again
this season
🙏
thoughts and prayers, jakey
What will keep you subbed then ?!?!
Aaah
i would raid log if i can
Yeah, Jakey's a raid main
I'm a 1 night a week heroic raider in a F&F guild, so M+ is important
I should mention that I'm usually running with 2/3 people I know who've reached 3k+ io in previous seasons so whatver comes just kinda fills the gap
Out of all of our regulars, he's the one I think of the most when it comes to Prot War raid tank stuff
look they need to do 2 things to make the game perfect more me, bring back challenge modes with tmog behind it, and seperate raid loot and m+ loot (which is impossible)
I don't even know where the raid entrance is this season
and i would be happy
I'll sign your petition any day
Yeah, I agree on the separate items like pvp, that would be great
i love m+, hate raiding (as a tank)
ill rather play m+ and thats it
BUT
im going bald from playing with my guildies
But that would require tripling the number of drops per boss
Ive been saying that since TBC, keep our raids pure of the dungeon filth 😤
like if i only got protals out of m+ i could have stopped doing them months ago
19 deaths is not even that bad tbh, did someone went on a break or something?
the only thing that'd make me find the game funner to play in a noticeable way would be for community culture to change
i just find a lot of people waltzing around assholes these days. It's probably me, tho, tbh, or the people I know who play WoW that taint my perception
19 deaths? Need to make it an even 20 to match the key level
change the community KEKW
we didnt kill any boss at the moment of that screenshot
ikr, jakey
1 charge from mammoth > 1 dps killed
shrek close book, like that'll ever happen
I know, but how come you are only 32% trash after 26mins? lol
they also take FOREVER to release and walk back
healer ended up leaving to play ARAM on league kekw
cant blame him 
Not gonna lie, I did spend 3hours+ in VP 20 trying to kill lastboss. It was week 1 and we did not kill him lol
anyone mind helping me out reading logs on damage, what the breakdown actually means? first number is how much damage I actually take, then I see A: U: M:, and a percent at the end. can assume some of those thigns stand for mitigated, unmitigated, maybe armor? Rashok Flaming Slash Sidereeyal 59333 (A: 59333) (B: 714256) (U: 1150570, M: 1031904, 89.69%)
thx
Thought id do some M+ catchup this morning on my day off since i barely got any done this week.. not the hottest hotdogs DPS players are online it seems
outdpsed 4 dps in 2 runs
50k dps enjoyers in +17s
2500 is not all timed 15's, its all 17s with some 18s
Yeah 2500 isnt all 25s, that's waht i have right now:
all 15s is 2160
yeah thats misinfo
all 20s is 2700
On both fort and tyr yes ^
i hit 2500 on thursday and im mostly all 18's
no
Yes
yes
my screenshot is 16 on both tyr and fort, except for underrot and freehold
That part kinda goes without saying 6 weeks into the season though
I’m 2680ish something right now and I have a few keys that are not time at 20 on both let me check
untimed keys can give good score
i hit 2700 before having all protals
and before having every key on a 20 timed or untimed
i think i still had a 16 bracken or somthing
Right I’m literally just lazy
Jakey
yer but thats far less effort than all 20s on tyr and fort like u guys were saying
this mans telling other people to get a better X
That’s fair yes, I agree now jakey
Farming our strongest key for weekly
Makes sense
I do the same mostly
so your saying nome cant tell ppl
because he hasnt logged in in 6 weeks?
and no im farming the easiest key to fill vault
then i dont need to do m+ again
almost like i literally said thats what i was doing earlier
So ball parking all 20s on both is probably closer to what 2750-2760?
Hmmmm
All 20s on both is 2720
I don’t remember it being that easy but maybe scoring changed
Or maybe I’m just ree
you don't have to ballpark

What is a single +20 1 chest worth?
Like let’s say someone has + 20 one chest on fort and tyr for X dungeon
What is the score value?
2720/8
Like 350pts?
340
no jakey, i'm saying it's funny that you're telling brew to get a better VP when all you do is run FH.
it's called a joke
remove the stick from your ass
i'm surprised you found the egg
almost like
Jakey’s* a little higher because he has 2 chests and also a 22 in there
i just
2 chest is worth more points
multiple times
i was higher than 2720 without im like 99% sure
whip it out
you do know what the word average means right?
NUH UH IT CAN"T BE THAT BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ALL 20S BUT I"M ABOVE THAT
Has 22, 21, 4 two chests on +20.
yer cant go back in time in io
Haters gunna hate
i literally have been 2700 for weeks

winners gonna whirl
you literally are trying to argue with the people that came up with the system
Revenge doesn’t even 360
like what

no im saying i cant go back on io and show what i had done when i hit 2700
i can only show what i have now
peak entertainment when making laps between sets
skyhold, the gift that keeps on giving!
Do I really want to do a 20 on something that requires more thought than press block button
Probably not
Tbh
no
yes
I’m bing chillin in the free keys


i am bad at the game, but going for all portals by season end
here is an example of 2700
we're all bad at the game
You got it!
the problem is having friends log in, i can only pug so much
4head duh
If you ain’t first you last
just never play the game in the first place 4head
we just watched that on Saturday
If I could do it anyone could pshhhht
that's on god
dude is your banner snoop yoda?
Fuck yeah it iz
fr fr no 🧢 j
ong
Fo shizzle dizzle
whoa
Joke's aside tanking 20svat the start of S2 at like 425 ilvl was fucking fun
big spooky shit
he wasnt kidding about gin n juice, that shit slaps
🙂
i love you guilford
i need you to be my workout buddy
holy shit this young dolph needs to put the mic down and think about his life
You spot legs by laying between them right?
that shit was whack
just straight up ignored me D:
Yes
always toxic that guilford
oh i fucking hate that, when they'd run under my worktruck on the highway and the thump thump rattles the floor, id have a moment of silence for the poor bastard
that's the best part of working out
We’re just helping Mother Nature sort through the weak
the best part is not being a fucking invalid
The strong don’t play in the road 4head
I m very power full
actually that first set when the pre workout kicks in is also pretty good
Yeah best part is the pump hands down
You feel like hulk leaving the building but your arm measure 15 inches around

if you're gay maybe
need a better job, giving a shit costs extra
You never took a shot of preworkout from your gym buddies belly in the changeroom?
that sounds gay
now
giving your homies a lil tug on the sly, that shit the healthiest and most heterosexual godly thing you can do

gotta let em know you love em
hey bro it's aight, appreciate u
More like 18 but yes
My arms ain’t the only thing 18 inches around
Forearms are 15.5 
well see there's your problem right
hands like that no wonder nobody wants to be your friend
might rip their pecker straight off
god i havent measured myself since my 20s, i wonder if i still have my logbook laying around
mael lmao
yikes, I should go back to the gym one of these days, 16/12 bi's/forearm
what kind of a warrior do i think i am, ive got the arms of a mage
My trainer used to have me do the rock cardio training program, I hated my life on leg days but I could run a 6 minute mile by the end of the year
Bruh nome slayin em
Per usual

can someone remind me how to tank the last boss of uldaman, is it my fault that ppl are placing the time sink on the grounds randomly.
i had a fistweaver who cant heal bec im trying to minimise the space used for the time sink swirlys
thats what im doing but the shadowpriest and balance druids are dropping it in places which is choking us
i thought that was a face at first
i kind of thought so but i wasn't about to open my mouth and say so
their issue if they get social anxiety from being in melee stacked up
This face is messed up 
for some reason the quality of players dropped from shadowlands
TBF, ranged dps location has always been a problem in every single MMO where you have a big group of ppl attacking something
biblically accurate angel

i don't play ranged dps cuz im too stupid to deal with ranged dps mechanics checks
the pool of players is larger than in SL cuz of crossfaction alone
therefor more likely to run into bad players
like, boss randomly electrocutes furthest player (me as mage/hunter)
conveniently also more likely to run into good players
technically yes
We have magically got back into this
but the good players also usually stick around
I remember when they first added it
id assume on average you gained more casuals and bad players than %of good players gained
And alliance players were worth like 200+ io vs equivalent horde
just a raw assumption however
