If you think faction matters now when pugging you probably also consume crayons on the daily.

I read in forums that Dragonflight is the least popular wow expansion to date. Classic has more players even

even the allies pool were smaller but they were actually competent enough to do keys

nobody can compete with taiwan tho, theyre on average 100-200 points higher than eu and 300-400 points higher than NA

The thing is because of the East/west separation it’s hard to like fully understand because there’s often different metas there entirely

Feel so bad for them losing all their shit

i noticed some chinese people who like to play on eur servers since they feel european

Any good Chinese prot warr

waxen frigate
#

In NA illidan is known as the main Chinese server

toxic pewter
#

Their ping must suk ass

waxen frigate
#

Like if u wanna use trade chat on illidan it’s basically required to install “block Chinese” addon

waxen frigate
#

As to why they don’t play on OCE… couldn’t tell you. Lots do

#

But mostly other countries not China

#

Vietnamese, Thai, etc players I know mostly play on OCE

toxic pewter
#

Aren’t there Korean servers if I recall correctly could maybe play there too

nocturne spindle
#

naw

waxen frigate
#

True but I think Korean servers are more insular

steel mist
#

nope

waxen frigate
#

Idk tho

#

If they exist lol

nocturne spindle
#

korean games basically require you to register with the government

#

to get onto servers

toxic pewter
#

I see

waxen frigate
#

Ah that’s why they’re insular

steel mist
#

korean servers require a physical address and an ID card to create an account for proof

waxen frigate

Wack

thats why i could able to join games like ragnarok online and gunz when they were popular at that time

well if they were good, cant they make a team without sponsorship?

toxic pewter
#

Didn’t make the connection they literally may be Chinese players on na servers

The real play is for the CN players to set up a guild on NA

Skyline is TW rn though iirc

Does anyone here have a decent WA that yells when youre reflecting?

waxen frigate

#

Yah true

sick sentinel
#

i saw bits and pieces of that on twitch, its really something else lol

urban portal
#

most chinese player in china plays on TW

toxic pewter
#

That makes sense

#

I wonder if Taiwanese players and Chinese players get along

urban portal
#

i mean

#

if you dont tell them you are chinese

#

whats going to happen

toxic pewter
#

I guess Taiwanese language and Manndarin are really similar

urban portal
#

they speak a language thats 98% similar

#

its like northern US english vs southern

#

but even closer

toxic pewter
#

Ya I guess no one can tell where anyone is from

urban portal
#

if a brazilian player on illidan never types

#

how do you know hes brazilian

#

its like that

#

even if he types, as long as hes careful he'll never be found out

toxic pewter
#

Makes sense

sick sentinel
#

apparently you have never been in LFR EP

#

with 1 raganaros tank, that speaks english

#

and another from barthilas or somethin

#

that NOBODOY FUCKIN AT ALL

#

can speak his language

#

i personally tried messaging him in at least 3 different google translations of when to taunt

#

and we spent some absurd amount of time on that encounter like, 20 minutes minimum probably 40, before we downed the boss

#

this was for 3rd last boss in EP, the one where they are across room and you do a tank swap, council pretty sure

opaque oriole
#

Is there a website simulating survivability/self-sustain or healing of tanks like QE Live for my healer?

sick sentinel
#

nope, logs, make a log, even if its private view it, see how m any blocked attacks you have, under 90% blocked hits = bring it up, all the way to 100%

#

then its just, use cd's right and don't stand in fire

opaque oriole
#

Any way to compare fueled by violence vs brutal vitality?

sick sentinel
#

in a recent key, i only had 62% blocked hits overall, so i was opening my back side or not blocking nearly 40% of attacks, meaning i take more dmg and have to be healed more

opaque oriole
#

Backpedal more? 😂

waxen frigate
karmic plinth
opaque oriole
sick sentinel
#

and for reference, this channel would refer to my 62-63% blocked hits as "low" i dunno about very low, but its not good right

opaque oriole
#

How much do you aim for in keys?

karmic plinth
#

i found FbV would be somewhere like 8% of my HPS in m+ and when running BrV i barely noticed that i didnt have it

#

it's worth saying that FbV can be wasted while BrV is less likely to by design

sick sentinel
opaque oriole
#

I’m a healer main, so lots to learn

urban portal
#

but its also just banking on you playing well

sick sentinel
#

here, 80% of dmg i took in the key was melees, i could have further reduced that dmg i would have taken by another 37%

opaque oriole
#

Okay

#

What about getting more crit for parry?

karmic plinth
sick sentinel
#

that means healer is healing me less and can heal other or do dps themselves

#

crit rating for keys, yes

opaque oriole
#

I just sim for the most dps on raidbots anyway 😂

karmic plinth
#

crit is good because it's our best damage stat AND parry is really strong albeit unreliable

sick sentinel
#

thats about right TBH, because if you are doing your job well and blocking over 85% of hits, then there is no other job for you to do except contribute to killing the boss

opaque oriole
#

Why is crit better than haste?

urban portal
#

because it does more damage

opaque oriole
#

170haste/1% and 180crit/1%

sick sentinel
#

its not better than haste you would like haste first of all, and then you can collect crit, or versa, from there, not alot of mastery ppl

opaque oriole
#

Intuitively haste would be better

#

And 205vers/1%

urban portal
#

you should look at %hits

opaque oriole
#

Is mastery a defensive stat?

urban portal
#

so you blocked much less than 60%

karmic plinth
#

all of them are

opaque oriole
#

Is mastery the most defensive?

urban portal
#

no

#

haste

#

haste is your best stat until you get one shot

#

by melees

#

which can almost never happen

opaque oriole
#

I’m just trying to learn

#

Mastery on healers don’t contribute to damage

urban portal
#

youll never reach that point

#

so yeah

opaque oriole
#

And it’s usually haste>crit>vers

urban portal
#

if you are getting blown up by a melee with shield block up

#

then you need more strength

#

not anything else

#

so just do haste>crit=vers

karmic plinth
#

mastery is our weakest defensive stat because it doubles down on what we are already strongest on. it does get strong when you have OBSCENE amounts (not something we will have available right now)

urban portal
#

mastery is actually quite crazy in general

urban portal
#

because of the way the math works

sick sentinel
#

wait, where are you looking at % hit

urban portal
karmic plinth
#

in bfa we had a trait that made avatar grant a shit load of mastery

urban portal
#

its just that its unreliable, and if you want unreliability you may as well get damage for that

daring marlin
#

yes yes bastion of might

sick sentinel
#

same log, currently viewing this page

urban portal
#

ok then yeah thats better than i though

#

thought

opaque oriole
#

How do you use last stand and shield wall? On every pull on cd or timed with enemies abilities?

urban portal
#

so you didnt do too bad yogi

urban portal
#

shield wall when you need it but be liberal

#

its only a 1 minute

sick sentinel
#

im still scared to all hell of that halls of infusion

#

frog boss got me all fucked up

opaque oriole
#

Spamming shield slam?

waxen frigate
#

He learned from shawty

urban portal
#

yes

#

its like 1-1.5m depending on your haste

opaque oriole
#

Got 4500ish so far

sullen gust
sick sentinel
#

pretty good idea to send SW on a large pull right after you pull it

opaque oriole
#

What about shield block, do you use on cd too?

sullen gust
sick sentinel
#

you use shield block when you are being meleed or can do shield slams (so 99% of the time anyway)

sullen gust
#

If you already have shield block up, pressing it again doesn't do anything except restarting the duration

karmic plinth
#

up to 3x duration

opaque oriole
sick sentinel
#

if you cast 2 shield blocks they are worth 6 seconds each, yes, you get 12 seconds worth of SB

#

goes to at least 18 seconds, i think 24 is the max i duno

opaque oriole
#

Talented +2s

karmic plinth
#

our uptime is very good right now but we still need to be mindful of not wasiting charges

toxic pewter
#

39 seconds is max shield block you can get in theory

sick sentinel
#

the big reason you want shield block up in battle, is it makes your shield slam hit for even more damage

jagged gust
#

^ I was wondering, I've only ever managed to get it stacked to 32 seconds so far

karmic plinth
#

bolster ignores the 3x duration rule

toxic pewter
#

Yah in practice 39 pretty much really difficult/impossible

sick sentinel
#

besides to survive

karmic plinth
#

but using a charge above the 24s mark will waste it

opaque oriole

Wat u mean

vestal cove

Not at all, I know all are very close, but is this enough to bring them up closer to Bear/Pala/VDH

plush tendon
#

no

#

but Prot War is still viable and strong/fun to play

toxic pewter
#

We are just as good as any tank and excel in some areas they don’t

plush tendon
#

there is more to why Pal/Bear/VDH are just a better choice right now

#

Pal and Bear cause of their util and offheals

toxic pewter
#

A true prot warr lover isn’t fotm anyway

plush tendon
#

VDH just does lots of damage plus chaos brand; range/magic damage is very strong right now

toxic pewter
#

Yeah and dies when they jump into a new pack immediately LOL

plush tendon
#

VDH is finicky as a tank to play

sick sentinel
plush tendon
#

but a really good VDH is a boss

sick sentinel
#

so, it never gets pressed

plush tendon
#

its a lot like BDK

sick sentinel
#

and thus the change is meaningless

plush tendon
#

the 5% extra on dstance is still nice as a toggable defensive though

#

there are instances in 20s where you may use it

#

some Neltharus pulls and those big stone doods in Nathans liar

sick sentinel
#

wheres a good example of where i might want to turn it on

#

on a 20 say

plush tendon
#

not to mention Experiments Mythic; I would use D Stance if the dot gets high

plush tendon

and fire slash should your spell block run out or something

I actually did it on ptr and I can confirm it sucked ass

#

Like if two or three people make it to end a portal opens up for the rest of the party though

warm plinth
#

This looks really easy though?

daring marlin
#

Agreed. That looks sick.

toxic pewter
#

I suggest trying it on ptr

#

I did not find it fun

#

If it makes it to m+ gonna cause a lot of issues lmao

daring marlin
#

why's that? Have the one dude with a brain do it and the rest take portal

toxic pewter
#

Oh is it just 1 guys that has to do it

#

Ok that’s not as bad but then makes you wonder why even have it lmao

#

Like 80% of the group just standing around waiting for some schmuck to dodge a bunch of nonsense

proper roost
#

because it's fun

#

it looks fun

#

havent you done the mechagon gauntlet

daring marlin

It predicting your movement is the coolest part

proper roost

or like cos rp (actually still think this is fun tbqh)

toxic pewter

How is standing around while a single guy does it fun

Why would u stand around

daring marlin

You can ALSO try to do it

Nah I mean if you’re gonna implement a gauntlet either do it or don’t lmao got some half assed 20% have to complete it

people complaining about gauntlets are so funny

toxic pewter

Just gonna end up one guy that claims to know how to do it while other 4 stand around

daring marlin
#

Sounds like you're just complaining for the sake of it

silk kiln
#

How? Evey1 attempts to do the mechanic

daring marlin
#

gauntlet sucks, I did it on ptr

toxic pewter
#

It’s just bad implementation and lazy

silk kiln

Sure it’s not a direct mirror but it’s similar

daring marlin
#

well there's a tp when someone completes it

toxic pewter
#

Time will prove me right in the end. Mark this post

daring marlin
#

well that's dumb too

toxic pewter
#

That gauntlet actually captures what wow has become

#

Just lazy

proper roost
#

You complained about everyone having to do it just a second ago

toxic pewter
#

My point is either do it or not

proper roost
#

Now that there is protection from ur worst player youre complaining again

that theres a skip

Lmao

toxic pewter

It’s just a microcosm

proper roost

How about you critically debate yourself

#

Or are you too busy trucking the goalpost wildly left and right

daring marlin

yes kanga get him

Either implement it or don’t

That’s all I’m saying

Summer sausage is an American term for any sausage that can be kept without refrigeration until opened. Summer sausage is usually a mixture of pork, but may be made of or contain other meats such as beef or venison. Summer sausage is fermented, and can be dried or smoked, and while curing ingredients vary significantly, curing salt is almost a...

Tl;dr it’s not specific LMAO

toxic pewter

Nah 10.1.5 is dead in the water. Zaralek cavern actually going down as one of the worst zones they’ve ever made. Dragonflight definitely not doing well in my book

waxen frigate
#

it’s just vaguely German-American tube meat

waxen frigate
#

Dragonflight overall still great

toxic pewter
#

I dunno tbh

#

Feel like it’s missing something bigtime

waxen frigate

I’m missing her bro

toxic pewter

Lol well yeah

#

But she gone

#

Gotta move on

toxic pewter

She never coming back too

#

Be sure to stay no contact

daring marlin

unreliable narrator tbh

toxic pewter

It’s true

waxen frigate

Bro pulled up the receipts from April

toxic pewter
#

I will admit I enjoyed df at first

daring marlin

😂

#

You sound like what you want is an AP farm

toxic pewter
#

But I realize it’s lacking long term aspects I’ve enjoyed in other xpac

#

Yes

daring marlin
#

Miss me with that shit

toxic pewter
#

I do I realized

daring marlin
#

You're a certified weirdo

toxic pewter
#

Well

#

Yeah I guess df too casual for me

daring marlin
#

play alts

toxic pewter
#

I can’t I’ve tried

#

I’m more of a main player

daring marlin
#

Sounds like a you problem

toxic pewter
#

Any time I’m on an alt I think I could be getting cool stuff on my main

waxen frigate
#

Alts have been good to me this tier

toxic pewter
#

I have like a main fomo when I play an alt

#

It’s weird I will admit

waxen frigate
#

Just set a goal

#

Or like

#

Try something new

#

PvP, RP, mount collect

toxic pewter
#

I mean I have 5 lvl 70s

#

Yeah that’s all I do now is run old raids

waxen frigate
#

What about the first 2

tropic gorge

Sometimes the game just gets boring

toxic pewter

Oh shit

Am I meant to be a RPer

waxen frigate

Yes

toxic pewter
#

Never actually tried it maybe it will help me

tropic gorge

May I suggest xcom 2 with long war. You won't quit out of bordem, but anger and frustration lmao

toxic pewter
#

How do I start rping

tropic gorge
#

Step 1: moonwhatever realm

toxic pewter
#

Yah

tropic gorge
#

Step 2: goldshire in

waxen frigate
#

Ok don’t do that

tropic gorge
#

Step 3: get. Lude.

toxic pewter
#

Do they require addons and stuff though

waxen frigate
#

I mean

waxen frigate
toxic pewter
#

I need a whole backstory

#

And crap

waxen frigate
#

TotalRP 3

#

Nah I don’t

toxic pewter
#

Ok

tropic gorge
#

Real rp uses addons and such

waxen frigate
#

Best characters imo have very little backstory

tropic gorge
#

And true rp realms have rules

waxen frigate
#

And you build organically

toxic pewter
#

I see

waxen frigate
#

Just go walk around stormwind

toxic pewter
#

Is it newb friendly

waxen frigate
#

Try to meet ppl

#

Yes and no

#

RP is notoriously cliquey

tropic gorge
#

Rp players are some of the nicest I've ever met

toxic pewter
#

Right

tropic gorge
#

But I don't rp

toxic pewter
#

Gotta build trust

waxen frigate
#

But same shit from pve

tropic gorge
#

So I've never been around or in a clique. I've pugged m+ with moon players before that had their rp addons enabled

toxic pewter
#

I need to watch a beginner guide or something

tropic gorge
#

I'm just glad I've yet to be in a group where anyone mocks rp.
I find great irony in mocking people in an mmo chat

waxen frigate

I haven’t RPed in a while but I loved it

toxic pewter

Ok appreciate it

Bonus points to anyone who can tell the inspiration for the name

I was an arcane mage from the way back

I loved the opening of df. S1 was fun with arcane. Finally got it's time to shine.

daring marlin
#

feels like a tank thing

#

I love pumping on different classes

#

in raid or m+

proper roost
#

i'm of the staunch belief that all tank mains have to have a strong dps alt, that way you get some griefing tendencies out of raid

#

because you can definitely dps parsewhore a little too strong when literally ur only important raid job is to shut up, position right, don't die

daring marlin
#

100%

proper roost
#

have to play a dps you can pump on so that way you actually have a character that is legally allowed to dps whore on

sick sentinel
#

tried to run halls again

#

went fantastically until ice boss, healer got ringed, we died, someone leave

#

over in a blink of an eye basically

toxic pewter
#

That boss on tyran is actually pretty tough for healer

sick sentinel
#

one of those got him, looks like they got a bunch of move speed debuff and couldnt run in

toxic pewter
#

Ah didn’t move from the mechanic yeah not ideal

proper roost
#

the frost shock slow only goes on the tank

#

there isn't a slow for anyone else on that fight

#

did you get hit by that first glacial surge

#

🤨

sick sentinel
#

let me guess

#

if i get hit by th thing, it slows near by players and hits them for dmg

#

when we hide

proper roost
#

no it's just

#

a lot of damage

it isn't, at your key level

i'm actually kind of surprised that it did so little damage to you

modern brook

Nothing hit him he just jumped twice

Healers too busy casting flash of light or something to walk

ah the back jump of male tauren

legit looks like the same animation as when you get knock backed slightly from a hit

yogi, stream when?

This is the question

warm plinth

@sick sentinel stream when

Also I named my paladin 'yogi123 skills' in details in your honor

sick sentinel

I think if i streamed i'd probably stream doom games

warm plinth

But wow

#

Come on man

hardy snow
#

Can someone explain me why Second Winds is working on Rashok despite receiving damage?

warm plinth
#

Because you're amazing

hardy snow

Is tooltip badly written and it works differently than it says or what?

warm plinth
#

jk, but I don't know. It should not work.

hardy snow
warm plinth
#

Nah it's not supposed to work if you've taken damage

daring marlin
#

Environment damage doesn't break SW.

#

It's weird.

warm plinth
#

Oh, that's good to know

#

I guess

#

Lol

#

I guess it's potentially a lot of free healing on that fight

daring marlin
#

Same reason bursting and grievous didn't break SW.

warm plinth
#

I'd like to break you, if you know what I mean

daring marlin
#

which is goofy shit tbh

warm plinth

gottem

daring marlin
warm plinth
#

I did so many keys this week guys

#

SO MANY

hardy snow
#

Are there any other situations (especially in raid) where it can be useful because its broken?

warm plinth
#

mmm, it's hard to say. Because a lot of damage that seems like it would be environmental is actually sourced from the boss itself.

#

Which would affect it I imagine

daring marlin
warm plinth
#

Slacker smh

daring marlin
#

one on pally and three on warrior

#

HOW MANY HAVE YOU DONE PAL

warm plinth
#

Uhhhhhh

#

let me go do math

sick sentinel
#

i did 5

#

then i tried to do halls and they just blow up on me

crude notch
#

i did 69

warm plinth
#

13 on paladin, 10 on rogue, 13 on druid, 5 on priest, 3 on hunter, 3 on warrior, so 47 total

@daring marlin

#

I healed a 16 Neltharus which I was quite proud of. But tanked most keys on my druid

#

I tanked a 16 Neltharus and the group lead was like "are you sure you're good to tank this at 415?" I was like well I just tanked a 16 Uldaman and timed it so...

We didn't time it but it was not my doing. Shadow priest that we had died soooo much.

Especially 3 target oblit.

unholy 🚩

toxic pewter

ngl just did a dungeon on my fdk and im actually havign fun

#

im back im not feeling burnt out anymore

#

granted I got vote kicked from 2nd dungeon so I gotta wait again to queue

#

the warlock kept trying to do the death summon thing

#

and I was like lets keep moving

daring marlin
#

toxic apb smh my head

toxic pewter
#

dude we were standing at rockmora

#

and this warlock kept doing that thing where everyone clicks it and a random dude dies

warm plinth
#

idk why that spell even exists anymore. I don't think it has ever been worth doing

toxic pewter
#

ritual of doom

warm plinth
#

At least not since way back in the day

toxic pewter
#

yeah and I was like can we just pull the boss please

#

then they vote kicked me

warm plinth
#

lul

toxic pewter
#

I may not of said so nicely

warm plinth
#

Well

toxic pewter
#

but my point remains the same

warm plinth
#

Kinda deserved it then

toxic pewter
#

sigh

#

why though

#

the warlock was at fault in my view

warm plinth
#

Because it takes 0 effort to be polite

toxic pewter
#

but isnt it impolite to hold up the group with ritual of doom

warm plinth
#

I mean no one has to click the ritual. They could have just pulled the boss lol

toxic pewter
#

dude 3 out of 5 stood there clicking it

#

so I was like no, pull boss

#

then I may of said GO

#

or something

#

then i was back in org

sick sentinel

DK got ksm off that lol

pretty sure he is using a WA

I think that's a WA but PGF does the same thing

dusky canopy

"Premade group filters"

as ghash said

is sweet

fallow fern

Cool, gotta check that out

sick sentinel

i want that, plus, it shows number of battle rezes available and number of lusters (even if its just chance to rez, or drums, you can tick off if applies to you)

count self rez as brez maybe? dunno (shamans mostly)

both my healers got rashok 2 weeks ago on the same week

I need to do 4 more heroic bosses on my shaman before reset so I can get 3 raid vault slots

sick sentinel

i bricked like 2 or 3 keys learning how to run halls this week

lusty grotto

fuck i hope its not sanguine

warm plinth

And then last tyr week will be Entangling Bursting (only possibility)

proper roost

But it'll have to be at like 2 am

lusty grotto
#

damn

#

rip Kanga

sick sentinel
#

first time i bricked it on the first and second boss, second time oon 2nd and 3rd boss and 3d time we beat it

warm plinth
#

How does the tank brick either of those bosses?

#

3rd boss even doesn't really make sense?

lusty grotto
#

god i just cant take another sanguine week, fucking hate it, i need to get uldaman up too

warm plinth
#

Unless you just stand in something and die

sick sentinel
#

not knowing what i need to do

#

and then failing to execute it prorperly

lusty grotto
#

2nd boss? you mean mr frog?

warm plinth
#

Right but like...1st boss you can stand there. 2nd boss you can stand there. 3rd boss you can theoretically stand there aside from hiding/moving out of glacial surge

sick sentinel
#

yes, it totally fucked up the gulp

lusty grotto
#

just press spell reflect and sit on the green circle

warm plinth
#

How do you fuck up the gulp

#

You just...stay there

sick sentinel
#

i kept running out of if the first time and then on the first boss i wasn't taunting the adds to the boss

lusty grotto
#

if your dps isnt kiting froggies under, that's their fault though

sick sentinel
#

so the adds just killed everyone

lusty grotto
#

oh wow

dusky canopy
#

BRO YOGI

warm plinth
#

Oh dear

dusky canopy
#

I timed a 20 HOI not standing in the frog circle week 1

lusty grotto
#

well at least you learned, just on the 7th week?

dusky canopy
#

i didnt know you were suppose to do that either

#

lmfao

sick sentinel
#

i know i know, it just didn't click for me that its that important

warm plinth
#

I don't even know what happens if you don't stand in it

lusty grotto
#

8th? i dont even know how many weeks its been

#

he goes giga enrage

warm plinth
#

Oh

lusty grotto
#

and then fucks you up with the aoe

sick sentinel
#

or, in the cse of frog its just simple as, circle bad, move out

#

i fucked up, not muich else i can say

lusty grotto
#

its ok

#

you learned

#

and knowing is half the battle, G I JOE

#

ok bedge

warm plinth
#

Okay can I ask you something yogi? What process do you go through to learn dungeons? Because we're literally about to start week 7 of the season and you are still clueless on mechanics?

sick sentinel
#

first boss screws with my head starting at 25% or 30% or whatever, every group i been in for that insta lusts on pulling him, i dunno about other classes but i can only execute at 20%

#

seems like it'd make more sense to lust a couple second after you pull, maybe it over laps with p2 then

warm plinth
#

On your level it makes no difference. On high keys you lust the intermission

sick sentinel
#

im clueless on how deadly some mechanics can be, sure,

warm plinth
#

You didn't answer the question though. How do you go about learning dungeons? Like, do you just go in and wing it and not learn? Because like I said, we're at almost week 7 of the season and you're still learning basic stuff

proper roost
#

i mean tbf i think yogi does like 2 keys a week

warm plinth
#

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to grasp what your process is because you might need to tweak it

sick sentinel
#

i look at the MDT and view the things i need to pull, and then i attempt to remember all the important stuff

proper roost
#

that's definitely way too overwhelming i think

#

i think just at a base level you just try to remember boss mechanics first

sick sentinel
#

sometimes i read the paragarph they put on the weekly route site

warm plinth
#

I'm not talking about the route though. I'm talking about mechanics.

#

The route is secondary to knowing how to play the dungeon

sick sentinel
#

learn by trail of fire to some extent yeah

warm plinth
#

Ok let me ask this then. Have you just been running out of the frog's circle the entire season?

sick sentinel
#

i don't think so, but also i only ran it at a very low level until now
