yogi why do you upload your keys unlisted

I don't like having to scrounge through this channel for a link from you that isn't some random ass song or video

sick sentinel

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

i would

sick sentinel
#

nah

warm plinth
#

You don't even have spell block talented on that fight πŸ€”

daring marlin
#

Damn bro that's scummy yogi

mighty valley
warm plinth
#

seems to be blocking it fine to me

lusty grotto
#

you dont even need spell block in heroic if youre going into the void anyway

#

the point of spell block is to block the void slash dot hits

#

and then explode without going in

#

because void slash dot damage is being reduced

#

the resulting explotion is significantly less

warm plinth
#

Your mom is being reduced

#

gottem

lavish copper
#

oh so i still get the debuff, just no damage

lusty grotto
#

block is not "no damage"

hazy bronze
#

Less damage

lusty grotto
#

less

#

yes

lavish copper
#

ok, fair

lusty grotto
#

void slash blows up depending on how much damage you take from it

mighty valley
#

yeah, the first is the damage you take with spell block up, second is without

lavish copper
#

got it, ty

lusty grotto
#

if youre doing the standard pug strat, you get stacks to go into the void and explode there

#

its always good to have it there though because it minimizes damage i guess

#

but its not required

lavish copper
#

i understand it now, tyvm

lusty grotto
#

but yes like harrow and ghash mentioned it is indeed working

#

anyway i always use it on that fight regardless

proper roost
#

dude

#

for someone who straight up posted his full name in here before

#

yogi is very paranoid about his youtube uploads lmao

lusty grotto
#

its sad cause i wanna do the stay out thing but its probably not the best idea with pugs, and thus my parse stays at 93% on that dumb fight

cinder storm
dusky canopy
#

idk the stay out thing

#

i legit thought you had to go down in p3

lusty grotto
#

you do absolutely no damage on normal if you spell block the slash

#

it barely tickles

#

the entire raid i mean

warm plinth
#

On heroic you would go down in p3

#

just to be safe

lusty grotto
#

yeah you just cant do it with pugs

dusky canopy
#

yeah I thought you had to go down in heroic p3

lusty grotto
#

and honestly i just go into that fight everyweek for a quick kill to lose beacon and/or for vault so idc

#

so id rather not have some panicky healers be like BUT WHY DIDNT YOU GO DOWN

#

even though the damage isnt that big

dusky canopy
#

as health bars move 10%

#

LOL

proper roost
lusty grotto
#

yeah

proper roost
#

on heroic that is, on normal nothing happens in p3 so w/e

lusty grotto

so pugging is a nightmare for it

#

the oblivion stack is a big deal

sick sentinel

as if i would bail on them mid key

dusky canopy

mis leading the key level?

#

nah im out

#

wouldnt feel bad either

sick sentinel
#

well, im not gunna lose sleep about it, i can just run 2 more

#

its good practice i suppsoe

lusty grotto
#

it shouldn't be that bad now kanga, since obv was nerfed

#

but still

#

you cant trust pugs to handle their stacks correctly anyway

#

hell ive had tanks

#

that go down before void slash because they cant handle where they are standing

#

just the pug life

proper roost
#

i mean

#

it's more about the refreshes

lusty grotto
#

yeah i get that

proper roost
#

if you refresh my oblivion like a second before it expires cuz ur greeding void slash i stg

lusty grotto
#

dont worry im never gonna do it on pugs

proper roost
#

i don't pug raid anyway sounds like a goddamn nightmare bedge

lusty grotto
#

like i said, i rather get the kill fast and get that over with

Friends, I have a question

#

If Fire Mage is so bad why are they being brought to MDI and all the high keys?

sick sentinel
#

nah, i give up lol

#

its not gunna happen

warm plinth
#

Who said fire mage was bad? πŸ€”

crude notch
#

Guilford said that Billy said it was bad

warm plinth
#

I see

crude notch
#

And Guilford said the only reason they're good now is because they nerfed the totem on Wratheye and spark on Asaad

warm plinth
#

πŸ€”

warm plinth
#

Idk if that's allowed ini TGP though?

warm plinth
#

I assume so; I just asked him

crude notch
warm plinth
#

ah, so I assume they just bring other specs w/ the mage to cover the lesser damage on the add/totem

#

like better specs I mean

#

Since fire would just nuke the shit out of the boss

crude notch
#

I wish demo was the go to lock spec. It's my second favorite DPS spec in the game. D:

#

Yeah depending on the boss I'm topping out like 90-95k rn

#

w/ lust ofc

#

And some bosses are considerably lower

crude notch
#

I like BM's consistency, but that can also be a problem when you need to burn

warm plinth
#

Yeah, same issue I have with outlaw

#

No burst

But I played sub for a key and it's just...weird to me

#

Anyone know what the swing timers on Dargrul and Ularogg are? Just got crit trying to taunt off Dargrul Molten Crash the tank and don’t want that to happen again

crude notch
#

I do love that BM's popularity will forever remain. Among all keys it's still the second most popular DPS right now

#

Swing timers in 2023. Uh...

warm plinth
#

I'm like...99.9% sure mobs can't even crit unless you're sitting

I was facing it head on and it crit me I’m quite sure. Might’ve strafed shortly before it hit me tho

#

How do I motivate my healer friend to start dpsing

dusky canopy
#

all 21s as arms bb >:)

mighty valley
warm plinth
round pendant
#

His argument is that the moment he tries to dps, someone steps in something and needs healing

#

heh

warm plinth
#

Like I'm looking through logs rn and the only crits I see done to players is from shadowflame patch

mighty valley
#

i think for most new healers it's just a practice thing, they're not experienced enough to predict damage so they think they have to be on their toes all the time

#

when fights are more scripted than that, just takes learning

round pendant
#

tbh he doesn't even bother trying to anticipate things and I can't really force him to learn those things

#

I'm basically playing for two when I play with him cause I have to call out mechanics lmao

#

can't really force people to play better tho ig

mighty valley
#

sounds like the not dpsing thing is a symptom not a cause then

#

really though, missing out on healer dps isn't really a problem until high keys which i doubt your friend is doing

Then burst as hard as you can

do bears have more rage generation than us

It's not apples to apples

I dont know the correct answer

but i doubt it

we generate ALOT

toxic pewter

ok

I guess during their incarn its crazy fast though

Bear loses some with patch though

toxic pewter

depends on mobs i guess too maybe

how they losing

crude notch

Well they're unlikely to run Galactic Guardian in keys because they changed it eating itself

#

This might sound like a dumb question to ask this late in the season, but can we heroic leap over the hula hoop of death in the Altairus fight in VP?

warm plinth
#

I don't know but heroic leap is historically always sketchy on things like that because we don't go super high. Generally have to make sure the peak of your jump is when you cross over it

mighty valley
#

for painsmith you had to jump then leap and aim so the peak of the jump was over the wall

#

not really worth for altairus tbh

proper roost
#

yeah the cast says it's instant so i'm literally just gonna macro it into lvb/lb/flame shock

#

and never think about it

#

but it's still dumb

proper roost

also the safest way to do it by far

HA

#

i was right

jagged gust
#

Here's fun fact about Northern Ontario, it's actually western Ontario

proper roost
#

i just find it funny what yogi chooses to get tilted over

#

in keys

#

like he used to complain about NL worm boss spiked tongue

#

and then he just got over it

round pendant
#

pugging sark is miserable

#

dunno how miserable compared to raz but

#

damn

proper roost
#

much easier

#

by a lot

#

H sark was pugged a lot on week 2, H raz was DEFINITELY not pugged a lot by week 2

mighty valley
#

i was amazed that raz kept the knockback even for LFR, that shit was so funny

#

you genuinely had to raid lead and teach lfr gamers not to get knocked off if you wanted to even reach the determination timer

sick sentinel
#

mage rage

#

i don't fully understand the strategy hes on about

#

that was more painful key than it needed to be, didnt go over timer though

mighty valley
#

you want to face that boss to the wall and have everyone stack on top of you

#

then when he starts frontal, everyone move around the room

#

to get away from shit on the ground

#

then turn him back to the wall again

#

rinse and repeat

sick sentinel
#

the group was really angry at me pretty much second boss on though

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

i did play shit though, had no reason to survive 3rd boss,

warm plinth
#

Whenever he does cone, you run through him far enough that he's not in the puddles, then you flip him back to face the old puddles

proper roost
#

holy fuck you actually whipped up an mspaint for him

warm plinth
#

I did

proper roost
#

i was gonna try and look up a random UR log and post a clip of the replay

sick sentinel
#

that might even be an adobe photoshop

warm plinth
#

Nah it's good ole mspaint

proper roost
#

no it's mspaint, you can tell because of the shapes

#

good ol mspaint star

south zealot
#

idk if thats what we are talking about just the first thing i saw

proper roost
#

yeh i was responding to the message literally right above that

mighty valley
#

you should've made yogi the star

proper roost
#

CHOCO

mighty valley
#

since he's a star to all of us

warm plinth
#

My prot pal's details name is yogi123 skillz

#

That's how much I love yogi

proper roost
#

it's kinda funny how long it takes for strats like these to filter down

#

because sometimes things don't filter down

#

like

warm plinth
#

Especially when you consider that this is the second time we've seen this dungeon

proper roost
#

i did 3 NLs today and none of the tanks did the bellowing idol positions correctly

#

at 20/20/21

sick sentinel
#

we had underrot for literal ENTIRITY OF BFA

proper roost
#

very curious

warm plinth
#

Yeah I haven't seen a single tank besides me do the idol stacking

sick sentinel
#

as an LFD normal and heroic and keystone in all the seasons im pretty sure

proper roost
#

but like first 5 weeks

#

all my tanks did it correctly

sick sentinel
#

so, people remember that place, they will never forget

proper roost
#

well not week 1 but like week 2+

#

even in low keys like 17 spams

#

so it's kinda funny how latecomers just don't learn at all

#

certain things

mighty valley
#

latecomers are often people who've just climbed mostly due to gear

#

and were never really doing keys where like... bad strats killed you

proper roost
#

yeh well my point is

#

it's funny that things like the UR last boss thing trickled down

#

but not NL bellowing idol (or dargrul, but i'd give dargrul kind of a pass because it's dependent on the entire group doing it right)

warm plinth
#

tbf bellowing idol isn't nearly the requirement it used to be. That damage is a shadow of its former self

proper roost
#

it's not big, but i mean, idk

mighty valley
#

yeah, if the UR final boss isn't tanked well, the whole ground is fucked and it feels miserable for everyone

warm plinth
#

It used to hit the entire group, now it's just one person

proper roost
#

die everytime when tanks don't do that as a melee dps

mighty valley
#

stacking idols is nice but it's not gonna stick in most random dps's minds as "ahhhhhhh this whole fight is fucked"

proper roost
#

that's because people don't pay attention to what fucks you up on that fight

#

a lot of people still think it's just rng when hands spawn on you

mighty valley
#

yeah

#

just a factor of parseability of mechanics

proper roost
#

it's like literally a 50/50 every time if a tank will tank it wrong or some idiot rdps will stand on the edge

#

Idk why that's so unknown

warm plinth
#

idk this is the damage from a 20 tyrannical

#

Seems fine to me idk

#

No other damage happening besides that

proper roost
#

not talking about that

mighty valley
#

it's literally just something you have to be told somewhere, the game doesn't really do anything to explain it

proper roost
#

as mdps what actually fucks you up with bad bellow positions is

warm plinth
#

What are you talking about then

proper roost
#

you have to stand on someone else (tank or w/e) to get a cleave on all 3

#

so you risk really bad hand rng

#

or the tank places them too close to the edge and you have to risk hand spawn on you

warm plinth
#

Ah okay. I thought you were saying you were dying to the debris

proper roost
#

it's insanely bad for melee

#

when tanks don't do it right

warm plinth
#

I have extended range on my melee so it's fine for me but I get what you're saying now

proper roost
#

people just aren't aware that presetup for hand positions are like 99% of the fight

#

even tho it's a big wipe source

warm plinth
#

Apparently there's a bug where if you keep him in the middle, the hands can just insta-kill people

proper roost
#

yeah it's due to the terrain on the edge of the center circle

#

it's sloped slightly so the hands just spawn short

warm plinth
#

I have always pulled him away from mid anyway because I don't want the idols to spawn where the cup game starts

proper roost
#

i'm not really sure it's a fixable bug either

#

idk if they have the capacity or capability to adjust terrain like that

warm plinth
#

Realistically there's no real reason to have that there

sick sentinel
#

had over 1k ms ping for a short period in that key

#

no idea why

daring marlin
sick sentinel
#

fun times

#

i had some good back and forth with the mage

jagged gust
warm plinth
#

He always spawns them with the first in front of his left hand, and the second in front of his right hand

#

So when he spawns the first one, you flip him and he'll spawn them on top of each other

#

I might have htem backward but the same thing applies regardless

proper roost
#

yeah just turn 90 degrees to your right

#

his left

#

counterclockwise

mighty valley
#

starboard

jagged gust
#

counterclockwise, gotcha

proper roost
#

same thing for last boss

#

he always spawns the add on his left hand

#

so you want group to stack to his front left on the pull

sick sentinel
#

which is the bad ones this week

#

like right now

#

nelt and uida?

proper roost
#

not really any

#

pretty easy week

sick sentinel
#

well, i killed 2 or 3 15 UR's today

warm plinth
#

Uldaman is bad every week tbf

sick sentinel
#

so, easy for yogi as well

warm plinth
#

But at your level everything should be easy

sick sentinel
#

cuz im bound to fuck up those keyse

empty inlet
#

Uldaman on tyranical deadge

#

Timer is so fucked in that key on tyran

sick sentinel

hero pog storm 437 4/5

sick sentinel

more important to continue collecting for 4 for 447

proper roost
#

hell yeah

#

first aspects

sick sentinel
#

or pogstrom 441 RN

#

no, isn't me bragging, this time

#

is advicees about should i spend it?

jagged gust
#

I'm impatient, I take the instant gratification of multiple hero upgrades every time

proper roost
#

up to you

#

a 447 shield is really good though

#

i would craft that unless you have a 441+ vault shield already

#

your shield will probably be the largest individual upgrade

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

this no repair bill thing is really nice i tell you what

warm plinth
#

Definitely use them for crafted shit first

#

And worry about upgrading your last hero spots later

sick sentinel
#

all my gear is 437 champ or hero

#

hero helm, shoulder, wrist, weapon hands, a few trinkets

#

rest 437 champ

#

is there any special ules about tuesday vault

warm plinth
sick sentinel
#

i have to do a 17 to get a myth right

undone verge
#

"/RW use ur neck" *15 people get mc'd

warm plinth
#

No, 16 will give you myth track

sick sentinel
#

really okay

warm plinth
#

The best LFR boss ever was Desolate Host

#

Because Desolate Host was not there

sick sentinel
#

well, if i do a 17, i get a CHANCE at a hero drop

#

thats my vault so far, i was having major doubts about under rot today, barely made through at end

#

but i kinda also wanna do 4 more, in gneral, just so i can have socket option incase shit vault

proper roost
#

that 16 gives you a 441 that can upgrade to a 447

#

next week

#

it's p valuable

#

or can be, anyway

warm plinth
#

Well, yeah if you do a 17 then you can get a hero drop from the dungeon potentially

#

Next week yogi, I wanna see all 16s or higher on that list

#

or riot

sick sentinel
#

ya, and i like 30 io if its a key i haven't timed that high yet

warm plinth
#

Skyhold will riot

proper roost
#

yeah you literally only have to do one more 16 this week

#

and you'd get two 16 slots

#

that's huge

warm plinth
empty inlet
#

we need to get yogi a 20

warm plinth
#

I was actually about to ask him if he would do a key with me and my healer next week

proper roost
#

yogi would despise getting carried

toxic pewter
#

Tankian carries all on his shoulders

sick sentinel
#

the skullfalme is a plnaeswalker ...... symbol, i can't words right now

warm plinth
#

I didn't say I was gonna carry him

#

I was hoping he'd carry us

#

@sick sentinel we doing a 20 next week

sick sentinel
#

i sort of want to try hoi but i feel id blow up the group at ice lady

warm plinth
#

yogi not even acknowledging me pepehands

hazy bronze
#

He only acknowledges two people: hot chicks and big dicks

lusty grotto
#

hmmm

#

i panicked on an overlap but we still timed

#

(also sp hit release instead of waiting on rez popup and we pulled last boss without him lmao)

#

kinda easy tbh

modern gazelle
#

is there an easier way to know when something is doing physical vs magic damage?

#

so i know when to use spell reflect to help reduce the magic damage

#

i have a WA for reflectable spells, but i also want to know for when something isnt reflectable but is still magic damage

urban portal
#

almost everything is magic

modern gazelle
#

to take advantage of the 20% reduced damage of spell reflect

modern gazelle
urban portal
#

no

#

everything thats a mechanic is basically magic

#

everything a tank is SUPPOSED to tank is usually physical

cinder storm
#

I personally try to memorize the spreedsheet as much as I can, I dont think theres a wa for deflectable spells

modern gazelle
#

someone made a WA for reflectable spells based on this spreadsheet if you want me to link it

#

i guess i can memorize the magic/physical off the spreadsheet but was hoping there was an easier way in game to tell quickly

warm plinth
#

You get the mitigation whether you reflect or not

modern gazelle
#

yeah i know, thats why im asking if there is a way to know quickly in game whether something is magic damage or not

#

so i know if its worth using even if the spell is not reflectable that way im still using the 20% reduction

warm plinth
#

I can't really think of anything that isn't pretty obvious whether it's one or the other

#

Just based on the name or visual

modern gazelle
#

i play pretty zoomed out so seeing the visual of each mobs cast isn't easy usually for me, spel name is fine but does that really give away whether its magic or physical?

urban portal
#

yeah you essentially have to guess based on name

crude notch
#

be smrt

modern gazelle
#

like slash seems physcial

cinder storm
#

if it's aoe you probably deflect, if its targeted you probably reflect

modern gazelle
#

but cause of flaming its magic?

crude notch
#

If I hit you with fire it's certainly not physical

warm plinth
#

Yes. If something says fire or flame in the name, you can be pretty sure it's fire :p

modern gazelle
#

physical and magic xD

warm plinth
#

mmhm, but it doesn't matter if it's a combo since all you're trying to answer is whether spell reflect does anything against it

#

And it would still mitigate the magic portion of the attack

#

Or in that case, reflect it

modern gazelle
#

reflect means shoot back at

#

im focusing on the reduction

#

cause i already know whats reflectable based on my WA

#

also...

warm plinth
#

Just use the spell if you're not sure. It's off the GCD

modern gazelle
#

phyiscal, fire

warm plinth
#

you lose nothing to use it

modern gazelle
#

im just trying to get a good sense of it to use it as best as possible is all

crude notch
#

well you're doing good by reading the sheet

warm plinth
#

Honestly think you're overthinking it

#

Like even if you had an exhaustive list of everything that was magic, it's not like you're gonna memorize every single spell in every single dungeon

modern gazelle
#

just have trouble memorizing every spell off the sheet for magic/physical, i know whether something is gonna hurt or not usually and what the spel does, but i struggle knowing if its magic or physical

crude notch
#

you remember by doing it

#

usually

modern gazelle
crude notch
#

definitely don't learn by being pedantic about "fire" damage

modern gazelle
#

so trying to see if there is an easier way to recognize while playing

warm plinth
#

Also there is a magic portion of fiery focus. The physical is the focus part which is the attacks he does on the tank. The lava splashes are fire

#

hence fiery focus

#

And in that case you'd probably use SR anyway because it would mitigate the dot from the chains breaking

modern gazelle
#

what bosses are you guys swapping spell block in on raid btw?

crude notch
#

in heroic?

modern gazelle
#

yeah

#

i havent really felt the need to swap fully but if it helps i figure i should

#

take some stress off healers possibly and maybe save some cds more

warm plinth
#

Could swap on Sark probably

#

I think it works on the Magmorax tankbuster and Kazzara's tankbuster as well but neither of those bosses are particularly dangerous, especially on heroic.

urban portal
#

if the boss is casting something, the chances are its magic

urban portal
#

they want you to take more damage

#

so they can actually parse

crude notch
#

healing parses kekw

cinder nova

My body is ready for the 6% buff.

Big numbie is the zugzug heroin

cinder nova
# modern gazelle yeah

Unless you're super low-geared, Splock wont save you on most mechanics. You might be able to excuse it for... I dunno, maybe Rashok if you're barely 700K HP.

#

You have tools to overcome Heroic without deviating from the current setup, including weaving in and out of Def. Stance as necessary. It's an on-demand 20% DR cooldown with infinite duration.

warm plinth
#

You're an on-demand 20% DR cooldown with infinite duration

#

gottem

cinder nova
#

you're a gotem deez nuts on ur 4hed

#

goteem

modern gazelle
#

should i care about swapping some pieces for more verse?

lusty grotto
#

no, youre not even close to the content that you need versa for

pallid quiver
modern gazelle
#

at what point do you care?

lusty grotto
#

i dont care and im timing 23s

#

so even further than

pallid quiver
#

If you struggle to survive while playing well

That'll be at some of the highest keys done at all

modern gazelle
#

aight cool, i plan to time high keys but havent had the time, plan to consistent +20s this week ideally

pallid quiver
#

You might be able to pass some haste for vers in terms of damage, but again, I'd just do what our sim robit overlords tell us

#

it'd know better

lusty grotto
#

nah

#

thats haste with ITF stacks

#

nobody can get 7100 rating for it

#

so its a no go

pallid quiver
#

meanwhile

#

the guy who has posted their rating enough

#

I forgot who, but someone here has it

lusty grotto
#

even if i swap my 3 least haste pieces which is neck, ring and FF belt

#

and i socket haste

#

with full sockets

#

i dont get to 7100

#

so i'd like to see that

#

AND i have BR bracers which are 2x haste

#

is he not wearing tier or something?

#

haste trinkets or w/e

#

i dont even know which trinket has passive haste lmao

crude notch
#

pvp

#

oh true

warm plinth
#

Yeah it's obtainable, technically but realistically, it's not

lusty grotto
#

yeah sounds like some fuckery

lusty grotto
#

i cant find any fast 20s

#

we're positive next tuesday's 19 rewards can be upped right? its not gonna be a week later or some shit?

warm plinth
#

16 rewards can. That's what Blizzard said. As long as they're 441 or higher

#

(and weren't upgraded to that point I assume)

lusty grotto
#

well i guess ill do 1 more just in case

#

figure we push with 4 keys tomorrow and we'll be done

#

though we have 2x 23 VP keys which might be yikes

modern gazelle
#

is there any diff tank mechs for heroic sark?

lusty grotto
#

kinda feel bad for my friend

modern gazelle

looked at guide and didnt seem like it

@ionic fern hi ily

Look

I'm all for glad spec for warrior

But evoker is actually giga fun and a legit class

fury press 4 buttons and do dam

lusty grotto

i wouldnt consider having more than 4 buttons deep design either

The difference is that fury's buttons feel good to press and it's fast paced

chilly brook
ionic fern
#

Oh, i ain't deep-diving into this conversation so you guys can keep it going. πŸ˜‚

warm plinth
#

Empowered spells are clunky as fuck and it's suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper slow

ionic fern
#

I'm mid meeting.

chilly brook
#

if you get 2 casts of DR in a fight it's much better to delay both casts unless somehow you're going to miss it

#

like the closer your first cast is to 50% hp the better

#

since mastery scales so linearly

chilly brook
#

I'll give you it's fairly low CPM, but when you're inside your CDs it doesn't feel slow at all

warm plinth
#

If by fairly low you mean the lowest APM in the game, then yes

chilly brook
#

well ye but I wasn't saying fairly low in the context of ranking it in relation to other classes

#

just that it's on the low end for what people are used to in wow

#

that being said it's not the lowest if you want to be techincal

#

that title goes to healers

more specifically like resto sham

Unless you sit down, you can't get crit.

You can get smacked from behind,which would make block/parry irrelevant.

weirdly enough, shadowflame's recoil damage can crit you keks

I just tested on the tank dummy and it crit me from the front. So maybe dps specs can still randomly get crit?

crude notch
#

you're aware of what channel you're in right?

strange wedge

Yes I asked in this channel because Prot warriors tend to have more knowledge of general tanking mechanics

and I did specify that I was just a dps taunting it off

Do you have a log showing that?

Stupid question, I get how ignore pain works but whats the best way to use it? Do I press it once and wait for it to run out or do I keep pressing it to increase damage reduction?

warm plinth

It's a rage dump when revenge isn't enough

#

You'll end up pressing it a lot

#

Don't think too much about it. Just press it to keep from overcapping

blazing perch

But what if I want to dump my rage on revenge to get some dps instead of ignore pain?

warm plinth

it also isnt always a dps increase to revenge
