proper roost
#

Any mobs not on the whitelist won't have chains proc on them, only aoe splash onto them

gloomy vortex
#

Someone said this was fixed so you can’t chain

proper roost
#

they're wrong

#

they just don't know how the mechanic works

#

anyway the whitelisted mobs are all in the first 2 hallways

#

so you need those to splash off of otherwise the chain won't work

misty sail
#

nice

gloomy vortex
#

So you can chain the two above pulled down and the bird group?

proper roost
#

That ain't what I said chief

misty sail
#

you need a group you can chain and pull them together...right?

odd nimbus
#

how good are the mega dungeon trinkets?

chilly brook
#

I need to finish up work so I can do some more aug keys

sick sentinel
#

thats my paragon boxes so far

#

almost to 10 from VA

steady spruce
#

So i just got back in the game after leaving in SL, right now i have 395 ilvl with a bracers & neck that are 376, i believe i should craft replacements for those before going to tank M+ ?

#

Also have 385 chest and legs, didn't do raids yet

proper roost
#

crafting is 424 base

#

up to 447 with aspect crests

#

so yes pretty good

steady spruce
#

So should i just craft a shield and hope to find replacements for my other pieces ?

modern gazelle
#

whats the effective CD of shield wall?

modern gazelle
steady spruce
#

alrighty

#

Is the molten primal shield still the best to craft or is the shadow one better ?

modern gazelle
steady spruce
#

thanks 🙂

modern gazelle
#

i put crit haste on mine

steady spruce
#

Sorry for the noob questions, but what about embellishement, should i put one on the shield ?

jagged pier
#

u can if u want

#

doesnt really matter where u put them tbh

modern gazelle
#

belt and shield are most common

#

@jagged pier do you know the effective CD of shield wall?

#

when running impenetrable wall

jagged pier
#

about 50s-1min

modern gazelle
#

really that short?

#

damn ive been using it too little prob

#

is there a time where defenders aegis is better?

#

mainly for mythic raid

strong forum
#

Nop

proper roost
#

I would recommend not shadowflaming shield currently

#

Unless you absolutely 100000% will not play dps

strong forum
#

Defenders Aegis throughout almost every scenario grants you less shieldwalls than imp wall, and you lose 20%rage gen from shield slam

jagged gust
#

i shadowflame my legs and belt so I can swap between arms and prot

proper roost
#

because u might as well just put it on legs/boots or belt/legs so you can flex dps

modern gazelle
proper roost
#

The main reason it was good on shield is cuz shield was most ppls first craft

modern gazelle
#

unless yall some imposters in here

I need to be less reliant on my addons, twice in two days now Ive been ohko'd in nelth without an aoe prompt, felt like I didn't even see it cast though

toxic pewter
#

@strong forum can defender aegis be good on last boss of dawn of infinite or not even there

modern gazelle
# jagged pier dw i do that as well

the 3min cd on it makes me feel like i need to save it more but if its really a 1min effective cd i should be spamming that shit i feel like

#

i usually only use on tank busters or really big pulls

#

or dots like experiments

jagged pier
#

u should be using as often as possible, with the caveat of still making sure u have it when u need it

strong forum
#

again, imp wall also means 20% more rage from SS

^^

toxic pewter
#

yes

#

understood

modern gazelle

pain and gain vs honed reflexes?

niether seem like amazing options ive had pain and gain on

honed for a tiny bit of ST damage

u dont run it

toxic pewter

ok barely more than aug

cool thanks

#

what crafted gear do you guys have?

#

i have back, neck, belt, shield

jagged pier

jagged gust
modern gazelle
#

i have both in raid build?

jagged pier
modern gazelle
#

crafted something and replaced it or something, not a huge deal i have good pieces with the stats i want anyways

#

Just gonna sim some crafted rings/weapons to see

lusty grotto
modern gazelle
#

so i simmed all 3 weapons you can craft and they all say 1.8% increase even though their damages are diff, is it just cause they average out over time?

lusty grotto
#

?

modern gazelle
#

like mace is more consistent but sword will have more highs and lows due to the wide range of damage possibilities?

lusty grotto
#

weapon dmg is normalized

#

only ilvl matters

#

pick whatever you want

#

as long as its high ilvl

sick sentinel
#

dmg ranges on weapon isn't important

#

dps is

modern gazelle
#

yeah thats what i mean, they end up averaging out to roughly the same right? just wanted to make sure i didnt sim poorly

lusty grotto
#

its not about averages

sick sentinel
#

if you make a sword, or an axe, or a mace, it doesnt matter

lusty grotto
#

its literally

#

that it doesnt matter

sick sentinel
#

you pick the weapon type you would like

yogi dropping knowledge

well in that case im just doing mace cause its what my transmog was forced to use due to forgestorm xD

Swords have the best graphic. Don't @ me. You know I'm right

lusty grotto

i dont really care cause they are insta mogged to Stewart the Fish

#

and/or mage tower appearance

sick sentinel

so wrong about swords

butter knife twig of metal get stuck in everything

mace is simple, you bonk things and they die

dang lookin like a boss yogi

my actual fire transmog is perfect

but im torn on those 3 shields or some other

oh, well, i thought maybe it was legit showing as he did bad

i thought its maybe like, some do normal dps with rotation

strong forum

no

#

the "normal" dps of an augvoker is 50k

crude notch

Yeah that

#

It's really not hard to hit 40-50k as auggie

sick sentinel

ah, so, if hes not full buff spec (i have no idea if thats a thing)

crude notch

No

sick sentinel

it seems low?

strong forum

no they are a full buff spec

#

there is no dps or buff

#

its full buff

#

this one is just bad AND prolly didnt buff well

sick sentinel

well, im guessing within the aug tree and builds there is a more self dps build and more group dps build

a good augvoker does 50k dps and buffs his group up, a bad augvoker does less and doesnt buff as well either

its not a talent tree or playstyle thing

i don't call people out on dps, or its like the last thing i resort to

its just bad vs good

Honestly it's horrid to look at the details yeah. Just 16.6k is obvious outlier

Arms needs to hold the weapons correctly and have better less generic animations on each race.

I don't like the dwarf 2h weapon stance when you right click

Do we still want to go for Forgestorm after the secondary stat change? Or is it a sim yourself kind of thing?

Forgestorm is about 3-6% overall isn't it?

Seems like a good shout

How do Prot Pallies rate Forgestorm?

jagged pier
#

not high

hallow phoenix

My forgestorm tends to be 3-4% of my overall but sometimes on bosses it just goes off and is like 7-8% which is nice. I'll be replacing it next week or two tho and might only bring it in for some tyrannical dungeons

thing is "getting into coffee" can stay pretty surface level - just buying recently roasted beans from a local coffee shop, grinding them at home, and doing a pourover

costs like <$40 and will give you the best cup of coffee you've had in ages

it makes a really big difference buying recently roasted beans, compared to buying them online and getting them delivered to you

Also buy your own grinder

One of those bullet grinder things.

And remember. The finer it's ground the more surface area it has and the stronger it'll be

Coffee has similar rules to cocaine in that respect

but yeah just to get into it

I would look up doing a pourover or french press

a french press glass will run you like literally <$10

Coffee pots are cheap. It's perfectly OK to start with some basic Mr coffee pot

but this is the entire process for making a cold brew via french press

tropic gorge

I'm gonna buy myself an espresso machine for Christmas. I should check Amazon since it's prime week

#

step 1) put coffee grounds in the beaker (i used to measure but that shit's for losers)
step 2) fill with cold water to like 70%
step 3) put in fridge
step 4) tomorrow morning you have cold brew
step 5) pour the coffee into a separate vessel (the french press has a strainer for the grounds) and rinse off the french press

Done

tropic gorge

Lol

#

Some days I skip morning coffee and drink water. Usually by the evening I have the headache

daring marlin
#

I did wean myself off too much caffeine at one point tho

#

As I was having two reigns a day

#

lmao

tropic gorge
#

I didn't know what it was until I drank a mtn dew and it went away

toxic pewter
#

for some reason caffeine makes me sleepy

south zealot
#

i dont think thats scientifically possible

toxic pewter
#

like I drank 6 shots of espresso and fall asleep like half an hour later

south zealot
#

i googled it and i was wrong

#

its very possible if you have adhd or metabolize caffeiene very fast

toxic pewter
#

yeah I unironically will drink some coffee at night to sleep bettr

proper roost
#

yeah i think it's actually kind of normal idk

toxic pewter
#

yah I think I have adhd

proper roost
#

if i'm really relaxing on a saturday I like

#

brew a nice cup of coffee and take a nap around noon

#

it's gr8

#

Big cup of hot coff then nap

tropic gorge
#

I can fall asleep after some coffee. But a lot of thc is usually involved

south zealot

ive never consumed caffeiene on purpose

caffeine is a helluva drug

It'll be easy for you yogi

i drank my first one to d3 in like early 2014

#

and it was NOTICABLY more fun to play

proper roost
#

you know the route

#

or well

#

ok so

strong forum
#

ever since then its become a habit

proper roost
#

I'm pretty sure you should know the route

#

but you kind of just randomly pull things sometimes

south zealot
#

i actually just depleted an underrot

proper roost
#

that's ok though the timer for underrot is incredibly lenient

tropic gorge
#

So many dps in ur don't point the 2nd boss at a wall

#

So frustrating

sick sentinel
#

how does the ticks on cragmaw scaling work

south zealot
#

the least i can expect from the group is to actually get the ticks

sick sentinel
#

do they get boss scaling tyranical

south zealot
#

i was tanking 5 ticks and mage refused to blizzard/frost nova/literally anything they have

proper roost
#

i think they're absent any scaling actually, they're always really easy to kill

#

even in high keys

#

not 100% sure legitimately but as a dps they melt if you cleave even remotely

sick sentinel
#

should be fun, i just, i want to run only 16s, but only ones we wont fail

Is there actually a difference between the same beans from different countries

tropic gorge

I'm gonna get up, have coffee and do keys

proper roost
#

Yes

waxen frigate
proper roost
#

well it's actually even more complex than that

waxen frigate
#

Less than 5min from my house

#

Do I just go get a cup of coffee

tropic gorge
#

Like all plants there are tons of factors

chilly brook
proper roost
#

the beans themselves get roasted at different temps and for EXACT perfect amounts, it's absolutely a science too

#

to get the roasting time down right

waxen frigate
#

Yea but it says medium roast on both

#

So like

tropic gorge
#

So many that even if everyone here listed all they know there would be an equal amount of differences not listed

waxen frigate
#

🤷‍♂️

chilly brook
#

there are high end pizza restaruants that will literally fly in water from certain regions for use in their dough

proper roost
#

like specialist coffee roasters will literally record exactly their roast temps and times to keep things perfect

chilly brook
#

for an example

proper roost
#

it's super super specific

tropic gorge
waxen frigate
#

Ok would u guys recommend I get a dark, medium, or light roast to start

tropic gorge
#

They had water from NYC shipped in

proper roost
#

anyway, yeah, just ask them what kind of beans they have available, buy what flavor profiles sound cool to you

#

And then go home and brew that

#

it's def all preference

balmy pawn
#

Light roast is only roast if you want to actually taste your coffee

proper roost
#

but IMO light roasts make the flavors really pop

chilly brook
balmy pawn
#

If you want to taste burnt, by all means, dark roast is cool

daring marlin

My DK is up to 432 ilvl as well at least

I tanked normal rashok at 408 on my dk

I'm a bad person to weigh in on this though I don't drink coffee

i prefer black coffee but ton of cream and sugar in shit is a fun treat

You can tank normal at 406

so acquire some

w/e though

tropic gorge
#

Lmao

daring marlin
south zealot
#

there is no such thing as an acquired taste

#

it either tastes good or it doesnt

tropic gorge
#

Acquired taste means "I got used to it" lol

daring marlin
#

this is why skyhold is the best

waxen frigate

Acquired taste is gaslighting yourself into liking it

daring marlin

well, prot anyway

Peruvian coffee should have decent caffeine a d good taste

proper roost
#

i mean yeah you should but damn

waxen frigate
#

THIS IS THE REALITY OF WHERE I LIVE

balmy pawn
#

Yeah literally get coffee anywhere that isn’t there

proper roost
#

anyway whats more important is like how soon theyve roasted their beasts

#

beans

#

even

#

like, if its locally done, it should be within 2 weeks

daring marlin
#

yes roast the beasts

proper roost
#

which is good

waxen frigate
#

Ok it looks like there’s another local shop in town

proper roost
#

having been roasted within 1-2 weeks is great

daring marlin
#

tasty, smokey beasts

proper roost
#

Also if you don't have a coffee or spice grinder at home you can just ask them to do it at the store so

#

yeh

daring marlin
#

It's 5pm and I want coffee now

#

you guys are the worst

chilly brook
#

Bluebonnet actually a based name for a Texas coffee

proper roost
#

as i mentioned, i think the easiest thing to do if you're making stuff for the first time is to buy a french press, but I'm a big drip coffee hater

balmy pawn
tropic gorge
#

I highly suggest giving black rifle a shot at least once

balmy pawn
#

And not a single one of their roasts is called “omg hunter bidens laptop” or whatever

waxen frigate
proper roost
#

i've had black rifle a few times and it's just really mediocre tbh

#

and overpriced

proper roost
#

even if i didn't care about their other shit (i do) it's literally more expensive than just buying local beans

daring marlin
#

cmon kanga ya frickin' dinosaur

proper roost
#

because of their name brand bullshit lol

daring marlin
#

GET WITH THE LINGO

chilly brook
#

me no like BRCC

balmy pawn
#

If its not single origin are you really drinking coffee 🧐

chilly brook
#

but that's more to do with their owner or w/e not being able to keep his mouth shut

proper roost
#

yeah I mean... I think I could normally overlook it but it's literally their entire brand

#

anyway

waxen frigate
#

Ok but like

#

What if someone gave you the best cup of coffee you’d ever tasted

#

And then you were like “let me buy some beans”

chilly brook
waxen frigate
#

And they hand you a bag called let’s go Brandon

#

What do u do

chilly brook
#

who cares

proper roost
#

wasting food is weak

tropic gorge
#

I don't care what shits called

chilly brook
#

you want good coffee and they give you good coffee

tropic gorge
#

If it's good. I'll buy it

#

If it's shit. I won't. Ezpz

daring marlin
#

If it's good gimme the product

waxen frigate
#

Ok but also they’re going to murder a family of 8 (unrelated)

balmy pawn
#

If it’s good… i can probably find the same quality somewhere that the owner isn’t a tool if I expend the barest amount of effort

daring marlin
#

He specified the best cup of coffee you've ever had

chilly brook
#

usually I'm not a fan of introducing politics into branding or products but I'm also on the side of the fence that isn't a fan of the current president (that being said I kinda think the let's go brandon thing overstayed it's welcome and got old about a week after it happened)

daring marlin
#

you're overthinking it hakks

chilly brook
#

so take my opinion as you will

proper roost
#

but yeah what do you actually have at your home to brew the coffee

#

once you get it

chilly brook
#

with that in mind

proper roost
#

is it just a drip coffee thing

waxen frigate
#

8 innocent souls rest in your hands

#

(And the name is cringe)

proper roost
#

do i know about the incident ahead of time

waxen frigate
#

Yes

proper roost
#

ok then I use my powers of prescience to go win the lottery

waxen frigate
#

They specifically hand it to you and say “if you buy this I will murder a family of 8”

chilly brook
#

is this just some made up thing?

#

lol

proper roost
#

aw fuck

tropic gorge
#

So uh

#

Who's the family?

#

😉

daring marlin
waxen frigate
#

You don’t get to know that

#

Just random 8 person household

#

Within driving distance naturally

chilly brook
#

that's a big household tbh

waxen frigate
#

It is

#

But it’s specifically 8

chilly brook
#

do I get their stuff?

tropic gorge
#

Well. In that case.

#

Oh, Matt asking the good questions

#

If we get their stuff I'm down

#

If I can pick the family I'm buying 2

chilly brook
waxen frigate
daring marlin
#

Generational households are a thing of the past. The whole premise is preposterous!

chilly brook

hypotheticals aside, if you can live with the cringe marketing/branding and it's good coffee I'd buy it

should I make this my new pfp

I’m 100% shitposting at this point in case that wasn’t obvious

But

#

I’m taking notes

chilly brook
#

it seems like "boutique" coffee joints are everywhere at this point

balmy pawn
#

He doesn’t know whether the coffee is good or not right

waxen frigate

Presumably not but idk how that’s relevant

tropic gorge
#

And they keep popping up

#

Some are ok. Some aren't

chilly brook

#

i just think black rifle is like babby's first decent coffee and it literally only gets cheaper AND better tasting
