crude notch
#

that's my only claim

ionic fern
#

Yes, and then he provided logs.

crude notch
#

Of warriors

ionic fern
#

Doesn't seem like a warrior log to me.

crude notch
#

with completely different comps

#

Like if I compared myself to MDI players running a 19, obviously I'd look worse.

ionic fern
#

Get a broad overview.

#

You're welcome.

crude notch
#

Surely you're not advocating for 2 days of logs to represent the conclusive evidence that Bear is "far far more damage" than PWar.

#

Surely not

ionic fern
#

Surely you are not dumb enough to continue this discussion without providing any logical solutions/proofs from your side outside of just trying to push peoples buttons.

jagged pier
#

well u see the druid changes

#

happened

#

on tuesday

crude notch
#

yes exactly

#

I'm not sure what you think my stance is.

#

I'm not saying Bear doesn't do more damage, I'm saying using what he's using isn't a good example of comparison

jagged pier
#

your disagreeing with me when i said VDH and druid do far more damage than warrior

crude notch
#

No

#

That's your problem

jagged pier
#

even monk now does far more damage

crude notch
#

Both Choco and I have said we think they do more damage.

#

Choco is saying not as much as you say

#

I'm saying you're using bad examples

#

Which is fair

south zealot
#

monk definitely far more damage i dont think thatโ€™s refutable

crude notch
#

Ye

#

Like stop thinking I'm purely saying your statement is wrong

south zealot
#

i havent seen vdh pump but i think thats because most use cheat death instead of dam build

crude notch
#

Your statement can be right and your proof be horribly flawed.

crude notch
jagged pier
#

all depends what key lvl u look at

crude notch
#

Yes but if you're basing overall M+ tank damage on a +19 that's a bit disengenious imo

#

I guess if you're talking strictly for MDI it's not

jagged pier
#

i could do 23

#

but then u wopuld just say its the ilvl difference

#

because highest warrior damage on 23 is nome

#

u can always disgree with anything thats linked

#

because keys

#

arent run with the same comp

#

same pulls

crude notch
#

Hey looks like you're finally getting the point.

#

You can't accurately compare

#

Wow

#

Novel concept

jagged pier
#

right so we cant compare anything ever and make any statement about anything in the game

#

or talents

#

or how to use rage

#

because we all play differently

#

and run different comps

#

and times and stuff

#

cool

dawn basin

what key level

#

do we want

#

gimme a number mwahi I'll do it

ionic fern
#

Mate

#

I don't care.

#

Pick whatever you want.

#

I'm babysitting 2 (hopefully) adults having a conversation because you can't behave properly or have a meaningful/respectful discussion.

crude notch
#

I guess I need to repeat my point for the millionth time

#

I'm not saying PWar doesn't do less damage than Bear and VDH, I'm saying the examples that are being used are incredibly flawed.

jagged pier
#

we know your point

#

find the logs to prove it

crude notch
#

You clearly don't get my point

#

if you are begging for me to post logs

ionic fern
#

Yes, yes. Logs are flawed and pointless.

crude notch
#

No

#

jfc

#

why is it when we compare raid logs and compare kill times and compare trinkets used and compare add padding, that's fine

#

But we're supposed to take every M+ log at face value

#

nothing more nothing less

#

There's variables in M+ logs just as much as there is in raid logs.

ionic fern
#

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
We're using the information we have from logs against you just going "Nah. You dont get my point." Just provide w/e examples you find are not flawed.

#

Instead of talking shit about anything others provide.

#

What is this, "How to have a constructive discussion 101"??

crude notch
#

Nah it's reading comprehension 101

#

Because you guys are lacking it.

ionic fern
#

Aight mate.
Either stfu or gtfo. I cba with you anymore just getting personal.

crude notch
#

You saying "Is this How to have a constructive discussion 101"?? isn't personal

#

But me saying

#

nah it's reading comprehension 101 is?

#

Like what

ionic fern
#

No, it's the whole conversation from your part from the beginning.

crude notch
#

Oh?

#

Just me?

ionic fern
#

DM me if you wanna continue this discussion. I cba having it on a public channel.

jagged pier
#

we do know there are variance in m+ logs btw we just accept them because theres nothing u can do about it we know it isnt perfect its the closest we have, which btw ive said multiple multiple times through the years

#

raid logs are a bit more comparable where u can take everything into account as its short form stuff

crude notch
#

Then I hope you can understand that I'm not going to link logs that I know are incredibly flawed for numerous reasons. As I stated, I agree that PWar is behind VDH, Monk, and Bear in damage. Any subset of logs has that number to be 20%-50% behind and that for me is too much variance to justify standing behind those numbers as concrete evidence of supporting any stance.

#

Even if that's the only information we have for now.

echo egret
#

I often hear people say "I carefully choose which M+ pugs I apply to" and I'm wondering how you choose, given that we only have info on the leader.

Would you guys equip mark of dargul 447 or anvil 447? I mainly play m+

jagged pier
#

i would use both

#

depending what my other tinkets are

thorny stone
#

The other trinket is a 441 beacon

jagged pier
#

hmm i mean any combo is fine

#

if u dont want double on use run both

#

if u dont mind run beacon and anvil

thorny stone
#

Ok, thank you jakey

jagged pier
#

something i didnt know about anvil until someone told me and i tested it, if u have 5 stacks and your out of combat and its off cd if u use it youll maintain 5 stacks

#

but need to not use it at the end of combat then

#

but can be worth to keep stacks if u have some room to travel

or down time

@jagged pier @ionic fern in the log Jakey provided what am I supposed to look for ๐Ÿ˜„ ?
curious

ionic fern

Idk what you're looking for. ๐Ÿ‘€

#

I was checking how fast the hourglass gets to 8 stacks.

#

And what the damage turns out to be.

sand drum
#

^ and got some numbers yet so we mortals dont have too ๐Ÿ˜› ? โค๏ธ

ionic fern
#

Mortals can also read logs, i believe.!
20s to reach 8 stacks.
1.2k DPS in that log.

sand drum
#

thx ๐Ÿ˜„

jagged pier
#

dont forget trinket gives strength as well

sand drum
#

might drop some haste for that trinket then and go more critt ?

#

but over beacon and mark ? hmm not 100% sure

ionic fern
#

For a ,more passive approach anvil + this.

strong forum
#

This trinket Sims better in aoe than Mark

#

And very close to mark in St

vocal verge
#

Defensively the tanks look really close. In those logs the warrior took half the damage as the other tanks but did half the healing. I think there is an argument for bear being able to handle massive pulls better though because of ursocs fury and raze/thrash

#

And bigger pulls just means more dps

tame coyote
#

hey guys, yest I got the cheat death trinket from the new dungeon. Is it as gd as it looks? I mean a lot of main stats and cheat death + massive haste buff when it procs. It sims similar to other trinkets I have but with added cheat death I think it's big no?

ionic fern
#

Big no, indeed.

jagged pier
#

I dont know how your simming or what trinkets u have

#

but its a terrible trinket

#

your not ever gunna proc it pretty much unless u do WF keys

#

and once every 8 mins is a long time

#

cheat death are usually bad in general allow ppl to get lazy or blame there deaths on "well if i had the trinket then i wouldnt have died" when about 20 other things could have be done to prevent it

#

like it sims less than deco of flame from last tier on ST so u must have some terrible trinkets

scenic hollow
#

Kinda new warrior here. Any must have crafted items? I picked up a 441 calamity shield, and 441 forgestorm from last 2 vaults so can get away with not crtafting thjose for now

#

Or just fill gaps? The set piece legslot look kinda crappy

jagged pier
#

umm i mean 447 shield will be the biggest upgrade u can get

tame coyote
jagged pier

after than none tier slots and rings/neck

they are far better

kk thanks @jagged pier โค๏ธ

#

The VP trinket sims bad, but it isnโ€™t right? Had mostly bad luck and still running drogbar rock and stoneโ€ฆ worth crafting alchemist stone or sth similar?

jagged pier
#

VP trinket is good for dungeons

#

Depends how u sim havent checked ut myself on aoe sims

#

But it does appear to do decent damage for most ppl

#

But i wouldnt waste a spark on stone

#

Like running lfr for raid trinkets will give u better trinkets than alc stone

#

Hell join a normal pug and kill the first 4 u get grapnel and anvil chance

earnest cove

Sim for 5 targets 40sec, always told me it is a DPS loss. Play m+ only - thanks for the advice @jagged pier

Keep in mind that the Heart is a vers trinket instead of a mainstat trinket

Stupid question โ€ฆ but how do you get the last couple packs of mob before the final boss in VP to not charge random players when you charge In on them ?

sick sentinel
#

Last night when those guys in my guild were looking for a key the didn't specify what key they had so I had to !keys them

#

Turns out they only wanted to run an 8 fh, easy peasy for me

#

I figured they might be trying to do like 21 nelthsrus or something I have no rights to be in

the charge also somewhat inexplicably does no damage while those mobs have the potential to own you on high fort

scenic hollow
#

I mean, I got a 445 Paladin - but being behind the curve on vault drops I'd like to try to optimise.

plush tendon
#

or run a heroic pug/guild alt raid

#

and see what you can get to drop there

#

step 1 is get 4 piece

#

down the road, you can min max which tier pieces

scenic hollow
#

I used to tank #3 guild - world. HIgh chance if I ever pug I'll end up gouging eyes out and uninstalling lol

plush tendon
#

heroic pug aint bad

#

I run it like 2-3 times a week

#

some groups just slam it

scenic hollow
#

Might give it a go then

plush tendon
#

you might get walled at like Sark

#

but 8/9 aint bad

#

plus, our best trinkets are in raid

scenic hollow
#

Yeah

plush tendon
#

so its either raid for trinkets.... or start the Nathan's liar grind

ok..

#

You guys think it's worth upgrading the crafted 1h sword? I'm not gonna upgrade the lariat until it gets back to a bis item, or at least that's my plan

#

My current 1h is the forge hammer

#

Good ol pogstorm

strong forum

ive sold my forgestorm

tropic gorge
#

What do you use?

plush tendon
#

unless your sim tells you otherwise; at least mine would not be

tropic gorge
#

For this season absolutely

plush tendon
#

also, a crafted 1h with stats is great

tropic gorge
#

I'm more trying to think ahead for s3 and any changes that come.
During s1 I expected the lariat to bis item for more than just 1 season

plush tendon
#

lariat is still good

#

just not better then shadowflame

tropic gorge
#

Ya i ha e the crafted 1h. I didn't upgrade it and did my shield first but now I'm good for the next item upgrade

plush tendon
#

and theres no point in trying to think ahead

#

you gonna reach a point this season where you are swimming in sparks and wont have any idea what to do with them

#

I might actually finish the crafted primal set tmog XD

#

but first.... I need some god damn upgradable capes and boots to catalyze for tmog

#

and then the heroic shield

#

then I gotta do stupid pvp for those sets

sick sentinel
#

i thought about it as a meme

#

i wont, but i looked into it a tiny bit

tropic gorge
#

I've also looked into a Sim pit

plush tendon
#

a foot pedal doesnt actually seem like a terrible idea

tropic gorge
#

There are companies that make tubular seat frames with mounts for display, wheels, flight sticks etc

#

I have a Logitech rudder pedal set under my desk. I've never bound them to a key in wow

#

Hmm. Rally on the throttle pedal would be kinda neet

Put SS on the foot pedal, it'll be like playing drums in rock band on expert. Gonna be leg day every day.

Even though we know that is wrong

crude notch

It's wrong if you care about min/max'ing

toxic pewter

no you guys are arguing about keys where 'good play doesn't matter' so in that world, my argument is that the default position is actually bstance and not dstance

Wed/thur is the play

Did thurs/mon one tier but the issue with that is to far spaced you basically lose all prog from the first day

My guild currently is in the summer lul. I personally like it. I'm in a friendly heroic guild. So we have some players that... Without coming off as rude or anything like that, are bad.
And us having a much smaller raid the last week has yielded good prog for us

frostfire tends to do a bit more ST then shadowflame for me

you only need to do a +8 for a 441 piece

plush tendon

but honestly, they are interchangable

#

and for dps war specs, I think they are double shadowflame

proper roost

that's what they mean by less flexible

if you're playing a bit of dps, it's more flexible to just have like boots/legs (or whatever) shadowflamed and you can just reuse it exactly for dps

oof echo is hard took my group a while

think we only got it because corruption went on the right people a few pulls in a row

uh

maybe not pwar lmao

but its extremely controllable

#

no honestly I don't think so

crude notch
#

They got him down to 12% Wednesday, so they should be getting that kill soon.

proper roost
#

I mean you get fucked

#

and you cant soak easily

#

but

#

95% of the prog of the fight now, is tanks learning positioning

#

so if you can do that part I think its legit a <30 pull boss

#

with good tanks

#

the dps check is also really low so no reason not to 3 tank

#

and if you have a brm who can be the 3rd you're really happy

#

or ppal

#

i think it's fine as tank tbh even if you do get sliced up. The positioning thing is (imo) fun if a little chaotic to learn and everything is fully controllable and preempted on that fight

#

Anyway, I think it's shit because I'm melee dps and my tanks suck at learning the positioning

#

๐Ÿ‘ it's different every pull and I want to fucking kill myself

#

kinda

#

but mostly just going around in a counterclockwise circle

#

or like, more of an S I guess

#

first trap, knockback, second trap, TD + drag over to the other side,

#

super predictable could do the first 2 and a half minutes with my eyes closed

aint no way i'm playing arms for a fight where my tanks pay 0 attention to where the melee have to be

there's a line from the boss to each of the circle players

How do we deal with 2 blacksmith in nelth? pulled those 2 in the third boss pit in a +20 and they wiped my ass. Maybe I didn't cycle my defensives good enough or the DPS was too low, but after sometime I couldn't tank anymore

proper roost
#

you can always just pull them separately on fort week, it's a bit of a spicy pull with an inexperienced group

#

make sure to kick the forge embers too, generally in low keys I find that people are very bad about kicking them. The melts do a substantial amount of added damage

#

You uh really shouldn't be getting owned by the blacksmiths though

#

it does far more group damage than tank damage, i've actually literally never had a tank have issues with that

Timed the key though

1+ minute of that pull is extremely long

my work computer is dogshit so i can't look into this too much but it kinda looks like you went from the previous big pull immediately into double blacksmith, which
