It's a little hard to work out since you can't actually expect a healer to dps during tank busters, regardless of what defensives you're using. You could argue if everyone was playing absolutely perfectly like robots then it would be worth using dstance so they could get some extra damage off. I guess at high levels it's worth considering but that's on the level of extreme micro-optimisations lol

Yea you can't really have it boths ways. It's either not worth considering because it's a micro optimization or it's better to give the healer the global

When you get into things like this is becomes way too complex to really estimate tbh. There's a lot of ways giving a healer a global by taking 20% less damage (which is already gonna be less impactful the more defensives you have up) might actually benefit the whole raid. Seems impossible to truly know whether or not that's gonna do better than the extra damage the tank gets by not doing that. Not to mention it's literally only relevant in those 3 second instances in the encounter 🤷‍♂️ micro-micro-optimisations so I'm gonna choose to do more damage because number bigger

so

that's the biggest difference

Surviving is always our primary objective, it's just most of the time it's not a difficult floor to meet.

we're rapidly approaching "i'm not mad, in fact i'm laughing"

I got an xray in my shoulder and they found a calcium deposit like 1.5cm wide embedded in my shoulder

I remember the video of that poor girl reviewing the details of Cataclysm and just kept pronouncing it Kuh-tackle-ism. She got clowned on so hard and all she wanted was to make a little WoW news YT channel.

#

Poor thing.

lusty grotto

😢

#

ngl kuh-tackle-ism sounds funny as fuck

cinder nova

Not as bad as my old RL pronouncing C'thun as See-thoon.

And Archimond as archie-mond

cthun memes are just classic

yeah i mean vdh alone is driven by top players. There's very little utility that makes sense there

#

So I'm wondering when I can finally replace my annulet. I have 441 rings with sole decent stats, but looking at my details, the ring does a massive amount of my damage and about 5% of my total heals.

Any advice other than "GeT hIgHeR iLvL"

cinder nova
#

Annulet is about to be outmoded.

#

You could put on both 441 rings and forget it even exists today and the impact it would have would be minimal to none.

#

So, best advice, not worth the effort. Take the stats and the stam and just coast, focus on your play, not the item one foot in the grave.

#

If for some reason you're unreasonably sweaty, lose whichever ring has the worse itemization in favor of the annulet assuming you're using the Freezing ST setup in raid or the Storm AOE setup for M+.

pale hill
#

Second question, should be looking to get mastery once haste and crit levels are high?
I understand vers does straight dmg and DR but are the attack power amd chance to double block worth it?

cinder nova
#

If you're really trying to balance stats because you're near ilvl cap with 441-447 gear, somewhere in the ballpark of 20%-ish, @strong forum can explain more.

Otherwise, you should probably just focus on ilvl more than anything. The TL;DR is you get a lot of value out of low mastery such that you don't need a lot to get a measurably impactful return. It's by no means a target stat to maintain over ilvl in any capacity.

lusty grotto
#

you will never get it this season

#

so no we're not looking to get any other stat

#

haste above all

cinder nova
#

I think he means somewhere in the park of like the idyllic 30% balance between crit/haste

#

Not capping or DRing it

lusty grotto
#

haste still has higher value than other stats

cinder nova
#

Yeah, but you give up something like .4% crit chance for a ton of extra chance to crit block.

#

Haste is still our best DPS stat, yes, but the choice is driven by an opportunity cost between damage and survival.

lusty grotto
#

haste is our best defensive stance too

#

since our cds are hastened

daring marlin
lusty grotto
#

or rather, SB, among other things

cinder nova
#

To a point, but the return on investment you get out of even a few hundred Mastery is pretty big passive gains whereas the CDR of similar haste levels would be less than half a second at best, if I had to guess.

lusty grotto
#

i wouldnt be saying this if he had not mentioned haste

#

but he did

40/40/10/10 is the split based on the t30 profile.

this is an entire different convo if haste wasnt there

#

Honestly I'm never really impressed by Vers just because it's such a boring stat. Kinda hate that Tepid Vers is our best phial.

#

Tepid is such an apt way to describe it.

#

I wouldn't shit my pants if it just went away, but it's the PVP stat lowkey so

lusty grotto
#

rename it pvp power

then remove it from pve

dreadplates isn't that bad

sick sentinel

i can choose those, so....

old flame
#

I still don't like it, didn't feel good

torn gulch
#

you can do mark and heart offensively
and mark and either talisman/splinter defensively

#

from what you have

#

a anvil would be good

#

if you can get it

sick sentinel
#

id get no str bonus from mark + heart

lusty grotto
sick sentinel
#

but automagical trinkets dual can be nice, especially dmg ones

torn gulch
#

that's the downside unfortunately

#

anvil would solve a lot of those problems

sick sentinel
#

i like 2 auto trinkets often due to one less button i gotta worry about managing

old flame
#

Sim said shoulders are like... ~500 dps over the trinket. not converted to tier I think the mastery/crit is pulling it ahead as non tier

not like a trinket 900 str bonus makes me lose a key in a 20 say or 16 17 whatever im doin

hello all, I am new to the discored, and i would like to ask a question. my question is why dont we use battle-scarred veteran in our talents?

ionic fern
#

The "30% threshold is taken not from your HP, but from the damage you take PRE-mitigation.
SO if there's a hit that smacks for 500k, but you mitigate it to lets say 90k, it would still proc even though you are at 80% HP.

odd trail
#

I did not realize that it was bugged I use it only for raid content and potentially dungeon content sometimes depending on if I know about tank busters.

Is there a amount of mastery, that would be good to have? Or should I just ignore the stat

To be sure i'm in that range.

Nooooooooo...

Are you sure?
I also heard i can't do keys above 19 without at least 10% Vers.

remote venture
#

Mastery % = Key levels right?

jagged pier

#

No, everyone knows that the max key level formula is Mastery+Vers / (Crit* Haste) * KValue-10

Scinetifically proven.

I have a possibly stupid question but why are we told to sim with no lust for ST (heroic) raid sims? "1T patchwerk 3 min no lust, remove all outer buffs for raid"

i dont know where u got that from

Hold on..

I mean I have no better understanding about sims, was just curious why no lust

Anyways idk why he said that, you'll always last in raid.

jagged pier

because u have them in raids

@lusty grotto sussy

vital berry
#

yeah that's what I was thinking too. will just carry on using 1T, lust and 4-5mins for my raid sims I guess (we are a bit slow to kill bosses)

jagged pier
#

the 3 min ST with not buffs if for m+ bosses cause u dont always lust in m+ and all the buffs

That would make sense, thanks

is this gonna be a problem in high keys

i have stacked haste crit all the way pretty much

pallid quiver
#

According to the formula above, you can only do keys in like the 7-8 range. smh, how unfortunate

dull zodiac
#

NICE

pallid quiver
#

You don't need any specific stats whatsoever to time high keys; it's likely you don't even need to optimize to that best degree to clear the world highest keys, it just helps.

#

As long as you have ilvl, you're fine if you play correctly

dull zodiac

i mean

#

i could have alot more vers

#

but i like crit better

#

for dmg

lusty grotto

You won't notice the extra defense from having more vers, but you get more benefit from getting more of a stat you have less of.
