Yeah, I agree w/ Harrow 100%. It's nothing until you go to CC something and you're like oh right, raging

mighty valley
#

i think it's most shocking for DKs who are used to being able to grip whatever they feel like

modern gazelle
#

dk grip is like my favorite ability man i wish we had something like that

#

make whirlwind an aoe suck in ability for prot when?

warm plinth
#

Didn't we have a Torghast power like that

stark gull
#

how the fuck do you survive piercing shards in a +23 fort

warm plinth
#

Rotate CDs and clench cheeks

#

Remember the DoT is the dangerous part, not the initial hit

stark gull
#

boith a rapey

#

initial hit is like 600k

#

unless i reflect

warm plinth
#

yeah, just saying don't pre-empt your CD too much

#

But it's really just the healer needing to heal you

stark gull
#

do othger people struggle with that? I was basicall ynot taking damage the whole dungeon then just getting WAPPED by those guys

warm plinth
#

Don't forget about impending victory. It's really nice for stabilizing after the first hit

stark gull
#

well i guess its nice to know other people also get hammered by that

warm plinth
#

It should be the only real damage the group is taking so like...they should heal you XD

#

The only other damage you have during those pulls is the shaper bolts

#

since you should definitely be avoiding avalanche on a 23

stark gull
#

yeah just bolts...and not even that really since they are all getting kicked

warm plinth
#

exactly

#

So just tell your healer to wake up and actually press a button on you for once

toxic pewter
#

At least for prot

warm plinth
#

Yeah I think it was whirlwind for fury maybe?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

plus you had that power that whirlwinded when you shield slam

warm plinth
#

Oh yeah

lusty grotto
#

so everything come in at all times

#

came*

warm plinth
#

Which i think is a talent now, except it's slam instead of shield slam

#

For fury anyway

toxic pewter
#

I’d be down for that ability

warm plinth
#

I never cared for that power much though tbh. It was pretty inconsistent

modern gazelle
#

speaking of avalanche

#

i had someone try to tell me that if no one is in front of the avalanche/frontal that it just targets a random person...

#

when i said you can side step it to avoid damage they said no, it will kill someone -_-

warm plinth
#

lul

toxic pewter
#

Pretty sure it’s a frontal and then some circles fall from ceiling

modern gazelle
#

what really happened is some dps walked in front of it and took the frontal

warm plinth
#

Honestly I don't know why anyone even moves out of it. I've never taken noticeable damage from it (the frontal, not the circle)

modern gazelle
#

yes, you can side step the frontal of avalanche

modern gazelle
warm plinth
#

But I'm lazy

modern gazelle
#

the one that helped me was learning to dodge 1st boss shards, i was face tanking those for a long time

warm plinth
#

Not as lazy as the keybind guy

#

But pretty lazy

#

Oh yeah, razor shards slaps on higher tyr keys

modern gazelle
#

cause of the visual glitch i thought the razor shards tracked

#

so i alwasy face tanked them

warm plinth
#

Yeah, a lot of people still think that, it's understandable

modern gazelle
#

they gotta fix that lol

warm plinth
#

They fixed Magmatusk's this week at least

#

That one was irritating

modern gazelle
#

HOI is another one with dragons, once you learn to just walk backwards away from them the packs get so much easier

warm plinth
#

Yeah, icecallers still slap though

lusty grotto
#

crawg too

warm plinth
#

Yeah, Cragmaw is another one I don't really bother with though; it's literally the only damage you take on the fight since Tantrum is physical

lusty grotto
#

i do it

warm plinth
#

It used to be spicy in BFA but it's kind of a joke now

modern gazelle
#

i just eat the cragmaw

lusty grotto
#

shrug, its not a big deal

#

but its easy enough to avoid

modern gazelle
#

i didnt know you could dodge that though tbh

lusty grotto
#

so i just do it anyway

modern gazelle
#

its never done more than like 10% of my health

lusty grotto
#

you have to leap at the exact time it goes off

#

and then charge in, you take 0 dmg

warm plinth
#

You don't have to leap at all to dodge it 🤷 You can but you don't have to

modern gazelle
#

thats...a lot of work

lusty grotto
#

shrug i do it but i did it in BFA so

warm plinth
#

You just start strafing away when he's about .5 sec from casting it and keep moving until it goes off

#

He roots himself around that time to prep for casting it.

#

Leap does make it a bit less brain power though, and why not since you have it

cinder storm
#

wokege is yogi 2.5k?

lusty grotto
#

yogi is gaming

cinder storm
#

bedge ok i sleep more then

toxic pewter
#

Yogi +2ing 18s and crap

#

He literally dungeon damage parses in the 90s for key level sometimes too

#

He owns hard

south zealot
warm plinth
#

Our boy has come a long way

stark gull
#

not even close usually

crude notch
#

Thankfully M+ is team content.

#

And you don't just have 2 shield walls

strong forum
#

People have done it on +31 fort with pwar

#

Surely you can do it on a 23

warm plinth
#

Only with 13.63% vers exactly though

sullen valve
#

Should probably get 200% vers

#

(ignore the fact DR from vers does cap out)

warm plinth
#

Hi Abe, lovely to see you friend

sullen valve
#

Hello friend

#

I'm sad

warm plinth
#

Why's that?

sullen valve
#

Because there is no wowA work to do rn

warm plinth
#

Sadge

#

You could do outlaw rogue

sullen valve
#

I don't hate myself

south zealot
#

do havoc

#

real

sullen valve
#

I don't hate myself

#

TBH
Not trying to burn out

south zealot
#

do beast mastery

sullen valve
#

I could never touch putput's specs

#

If I write ugly code
he'd kill me

warm plinth
#

But you love me right? peepoBlush

sullen valve
#

I love prot warrior

warm plinth
#

It's a good spec to love

modern gazelle
#

how many stacks did you guys take before taunt swapping on mythic zskarn?

ripe seal
#

But usually around 9-12

sand hound
#

which trinkets should i go with for m+ ?

warm plinth
#

The currently equipped ones if you want the lazy route. Dargrul+Anvil if you don't mind managing anvil

sand hound
#

tyty

modern gazelle
#

anvil+essence if you have a group using essence

#

anvil+dargrul if you dont

modern gazelle
warm plinth
#

You should release your spirit

modern gazelle
#

i didnt :p

#

i have the "dont release you fucking ape" WA lol

modern gazelle
ripe seal
#

Nah looks alright, i run double wall though cause i didn’t care about logs, just as long as i survived.

#

Kill > logs

modern gazelle
#

did you swap d stance ever?

#

or not need it much

#

i used it a lot on rashok still early on pulls for this so testing limits still

ripe seal
#

Yeah i swapped, no need to sit in Dstance 24/7, you can play in battle stance when you’re not tanking and when your stacks are ramping up, then just swap back to Datance when dots start to hurt =)

modern gazelle
#

👍

ripe seal
#

You always wanna actively swap between battle and defensive stance

modern gazelle
#

yeah i have been on other fights just not familiar enough on this for when its worth

#

i have a WA that yells at me ever 3s im in d stance to remind me to swap back lol

sick sentinel
#

did the talents change

ripe seal
#

Well, you sit in battle stance 99% of the time

sick sentinel
#

we don't take shockwave? or this is for raid

modern gazelle
#

raid

sick sentinel
#

k

ripe seal
#

And if you know you’re gonna take a lot of dmg then you swap to Dstance

modern gazelle
ripe seal
#

Ye sounds good

lusty grotto
#

reminds me of Kanga and Guilford

broken kite
#

do uh, the pins need updating

lusty grotto
#

concerning what

#

or what specifically

#

cause they are mostly up to date

broken kite
lusty grotto
#

onyx yes

#

mythic diurna it depends on sims

broken kite
#

surely a 447 would be ahead with the nerf?

lusty grotto
#

for ST?

#

it depends on sims

#

for keys, yes the 447 will be

#

better

mighty valley
#

diurna's is still wildly good

crude notch
#

Diurna still slaps

dusky canopy
#

specially a socketed one

#

big stonks

toxic pewter
#

yeah I still use my eranog ring

lusty grotto
#

sim

#

because eranog isnt good for keys

#

hasnt been since season started

#

for ST, sim

#

for keys, no

uneven mason
#

Eggnog ring

toxic pewter
#

the sim still tells me to use eranog ring even in multi target situations

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

warm plinth
#

🤔 really

toxic pewter
#

unless I am doing it wrong.. set it to like patchwerk 5 targets

lusty grotto
#

i find that hard to believe

toxic pewter
#

oh wait..

#

youre right its evened out

#

they 0%

broken kite
#

idk seems like extra secondary stats would be a bit better but i guess it's ahead

lusty grotto
#

it s houldnt be

toxic pewter
#

yah nvm then its breakeven in m+

lusty grotto
#

no apb

toxic pewter
#

i misread the results

lusty grotto
#

it shouldnt be break even

toxic pewter
#

hmm

lusty grotto
#

check patchwerk numbers again cause that doesnt sound right at all

toxic pewter
#

how long i did 3 min or does it matter

lusty grotto
#

1.5

broken kite
#

5 usually?

lusty grotto
#

min

#

for multi

#

1 min or 1.5 min

#

you dont fight packs for 3 mins

mighty valley
#

1.5 no bloodlust is the go to

toxic pewter
#

ok

lusty grotto
#

1 min or 1.5 mins no BL yea for AOE/keys (5 patchwerks)

mighty valley
#

bear in mind that if it's only a tiny bit ahead, the defensive benefit of actual stats does matter

lusty grotto
#

3 mins, 5 mins and BL for ST/raids (1 patchwerk)

toxic pewter
#

im redoing it

broken kite
toxic pewter
#

still sort of breaks even damage wise with 2 447 rings and sockets

#

but yeah im gonna stop using it in m+ thats for sure

mighty valley
#

it's still wild that it's that close

#

whoopsie doopsie

toxic pewter
#

can u look

#

am i doing anything wrong

mighty valley
#

apb doxxed

toxic pewter
#

lol

#

i mean ive mentioned my name before

broken kite
#

change timing to 5m for ST

lusty grotto
#

thats not ST

#

thats aoe

#

2k dps less with it

#

are you simming with full buffs ?????

toxic pewter
#

i think so

lusty grotto
#

208k dps?????

toxic pewter
#

do i get rid of those

lusty grotto
#

yes

toxic pewter
#

ok

#

what about ominous essence and crap does that matter

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt matter if you dont have OCE equipped

toxic pewter
#

oh ok

mighty valley
#

don't think windfury is default, mystic touch is the only other one that matters, so be honest about how often you see monks

lusty grotto
#

ST

#

+254 dps without diurna

#

im not in game so re-using older sims

broken kite
#

i was about to ask, isnt forgestorm better than 447 basic wep?

#

or not

lusty grotto
mighty valley
broken kite
#

ah ye just simming now

mighty valley
#

at least last I saw

broken kite
#

about to kick myself for crafting a second belt for m+

#

rather than a 1h

toxic pewter
#

can you look at this one

mighty valley
#

it's a very mild diff

broken kite
#

187k dps

#

🤔

toxic pewter
#

yeah its 5 targets

toxic pewter
#

yah but we talking about in m+

broken kite
#

use dungeon slice right

mighty valley
#

no

broken kite
#

no?

mighty valley
#

dungeon slice hasn't been optimized for prot afaik

toxic pewter
#

actually says if i unequip my eranog i lose dps in 5 targets..

#

i must be missing something

lusty grotto
#

welp

#

i would trust the sim

#

wait

urban portal
#

dungeon slice is probably ok

broken kite
#

i wouldnt trust his sim

#

lol

toxic pewter
lusty grotto
#

why are you using the weekly simc

#

use latest

toxic pewter
#

ok i dunno i dont remember changing it

lusty grotto
#

though i dont think it'll matter too much

toxic pewter
#

didnt change

#

pretty sure nome also uses it in m+ too I even asked him about it one time

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats fine

broken kite
#

only thing id note is you have a 441 ring not 447

#

pretty marginal tho

toxic pewter
#

nah i have two 447 rings with sockets

broken kite
#

in the sim

lusty grotto
#

my sim will be lower cause i still havent gotten 2x 447 pieces of tier

#

seems accurate

#

the sim is good on apb's part

broken kite
#

oh yeah

#

sorry i had to scroll down

#

a lot

lusty grotto
#

and also i use some versa now

#

the 200k + one was the one that threw me off

#

but this one looks good

#

either way i wouldnt use eranog for HIGH keys, nor sark cloak

#

or mythic prog for that matter

broken kite
#

neither

#

wonder if it's beacon making crit super valued thats indicating it's still better for aoe

undone verge
#

crit has been valued over verse for like 2 expacs now

broken kite
#

i meant for his sim

undone verge
#

are we talking about forgestorm?

warm plinth
#

no, he's talking about eranog ring

broken kite
#

sorry, confusing line of messages lol

lusty grotto
#

apb at that point i wouldn't use eranog, thats within margin of error

#

rather have the stam

#

if you need any extra points

toxic pewter
#

i dunno though am I misreading it? says its 700 dps loss

#

.4% ish

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

it is

#

so even moreso why you shouldnt use eranog

toxic pewter
#

why tho

lusty grotto
#

o

#

fuck im misreading this all

#

fucking ffxiv

#

no youre right

#

use it

toxic pewter
#

yeah apparently its still good for me

#

for some reason

lusty grotto
#

yeah you're right

#

doesnt sim high at all for me so 🤷

warm plinth
#

I'm just glad I'm not the only one that did this

broken kite
#

lmao

toxic pewter
#

wat

#

the flavor pockets? lmao

warm plinth
#

Yeah

toxic pewter
#

yeah i was in an awkward stage where i didnt have 1

#

and I missed it lol

#

so i put it on my neck as i used forgestorm

warm plinth
#

Yeah I have it on cloak and ring for my paladin. Not for any reason though; I'm just dumb

toxic pewter
#

we just really like pockets.. of flavor...

undone verge
#

doing 90k without a monk buff on mag this insane

dusky canopy
#

Damn a nub like me getting all 100s HAH amateur's

lusty grotto
#

😎

toxic pewter
#

wat the deal with mages that mage portals and then leave group immediately lol

uncut thunder
#

Trolling.

#

The new Stonard.

sick sentinel
#

always has been mage portals leaves group

#

xhould be, mage portals and leaves group the portal stays open 2 mpre minutes still usable then it closes

toxic pewter
#

yeah lol

#

would be nice

warm plinth
#

No, no making sense

#

Bad yogi

sick sentinel
#

i suppose a mage wanting to brick a key could drop a portal to stonard near small use door and leave group

#

what about vote to surrender key after 15 minutes or toxic, thats from league, (up to) 40 minute games: key and match

hazy sinew
#

can i use this trinket on myself? or is it just for party/raid member?

toxic pewter
#

can use on self for sure

hazy sinew
#

ty. the on use description is confusing/misleading.

toxic pewter
#

ya

lusty grotto
#

yeah you can use it on yourself or others

#

if youre targetting mobs it'll go on yourself

#

self cast etc

#

if youre targetting group members then it'll go on them

hazy sinew
#

got it. thanks.

FUCK YEAH

#

I have four trinkets that I am not sure which to use - Treemouth Fest Splinter (447), Zaqali Grpanel (441), Iredius Fragment (441) and Enduring Dreadplate (441) - any advice?

lusty grotto
#

sim

#

iriduous is bad for us since the str buff goes away fast

#

since different ability use

#

enduring is good for only aoe situations

#

treemouth is a defensive trinket so shrug

velvet stirrup
#

I only really run M+

lusty grotto
#

what key level

velvet stirrup
#

18 minimum but more 20-22+

lusty grotto
#

so the lower the key, the less enduring will be valuable

#

if you can consistently break it, then its ok

velvet stirrup
#

So Grapnel and Splinter ?

lusty grotto
#

if you want pure dmg its dreadplates and grapnel

#

treemouth offers nothing offensivewise

modern gazelle
median tulip
#

I run Anvil/OCE, for the most part

modern gazelle
median tulip
#

Most of my guild have OCE now; we've been quite lucky on that.

modern gazelle
#

i run OCE for raid but not for m+ most of the time

median tulip
#

I only really do M+ with guild

modern gazelle
#

better that way, unfotunately i have to pug most of the time

median tulip
#

I had to pug to fill the last M+ slot in the vault this week and oh boy and there some real special people put there.

#

Last week, rather

modern gazelle
#

yeah...its a roller coaster

median tulip
#

The shit players are always the ones with the worst attitude.

#

Like... Dude, you can't moan about other people's play when you parsed sub-tank DPS and died to avoidable damage 8 times.

ionic fern
#

Ofc they can.

modern gazelle
#

i wish i could help all these people from being brain washed into thinking you cant do a 22 without god comp

#

if i wasnt feeling lazy i would just form my own group and run my own key but im too lazy right now lol

restive scroll
#

Someone that didn't seem to know much about war tank told me that Sporecloack could be good (in a 25)
Thinking about it, since we drop very little, I thought it could make sense.
Any thoughts on that ?
Running 23-25 atm

modern gazelle
#

gotta page the 🤓 for that, im zug zug and just listen to their wisdom

restive scroll
median tulip
#

I have a flavour pocket on my cloak TBH

modern gazelle
#

i legit dont even know where the cooking things are or when they spawn so i have yet to get a flavor pocket

median tulip
#

I have 8 level 70 characters and 6 of them exist purely for doing the soup every week

modern gazelle
#

lol, how many pockets you get?

median tulip
#

Average of one a week, at a guess

modern gazelle
#

dang thats good, 80k per week

median tulip
#

If you have all the characters logged off in Iskara you can do 5 or 6 of the quests in a single soup event

#

The timer is on the front page of wowhead

warm plinth
#

I can do 7-9 per feast with all the improvements they've made to it

#

Also you only have to be level 60 to do the feast, so any last expansion alts you have laying around can be useful too

median tulip
#

Huh. That is useful. I have a lot of level 60 Alts

warm plinth
#

Me too

south zealot
warm plinth
#

It's my one for every spec challenge spreadsheet

#

what does it look like

south zealot
#

what is one for every spec

warm plinth
#

It's where I level a toon for every spec

#

And get it to max level

opaque quest
#

So i just checked the sticky. Is crit really ahead of vers? Im only playing 23s and some 24s for 3k IO

#

Most Warrs on IO run vers on every crafted piece

south zealot
#

crit is more damage

opaque quest
#

No chance you guys know how much deff ill lose right

#

Got 7 crafted items on all got haste vers rn

#

I'd switch all to haste crit so i can offspecc arms

south zealot
#

crit is good defensively too

#

more parry

opaque quest
#

Aye true

toxic pewter
#

lol

proper roost
#

3 out of our 6 healer roster was MIA today so i had to fill on m echo prog on my hpal @south zealot 💀

#

literally raid healed like, once ever on my hpal

south zealot
#

shits free

proper roost
#

we still got p3 prog somehow though

south zealot
#

i almost wiped the raid on sark

proper roost
#

well

#

its really lucky that hpal just counts as melee on echo

#

cuz i definitely was not gonna do well if i had to learn how to count

modern gazelle
#

i need to start logging my m+

#

me and this rogue just carried a 22 nelth lair, people did not know how to dodge avalanche, and healer kept dying to random stuff then releasing when we had an evoker to rez

#

like 18 deaths and still timed it by 40s luckily

warm plinth
#

Meanwhile vers requires more rating per % even for damage, and twice that for DR

modern gazelle
#

crit life! ✊

#

who needs defensives if enemy cant hit me

warm plinth
#

All this being said, vers isn't bad either. It's just a very common misconception that you need to stack it at the expense of all else

opaque quest
#

Aight good to know. Think ill roll some pieces to crit haste for arms offspecc. Thanks ❤️

modern gazelle
#

crit haste for EVERYTHING

warm plinth
#

You're a crit haste

#

gottem

modern gazelle
#

i legit spent hours doing diff gearset sims and the difference is negligable you can legit do crist haste on everything and basically be max dps

remote venture
modern gazelle
#

i did do one of my rings as vers/mast cause it was like a .7% increase, otherwise just be lazy and go crit haste for all gear

opaque quest
#

Eh i dont need max dps for 23 and 24s. Sure dps quality is still shit in those "low" keys but wether i do 100k or 110k overall is wayne

modern gazelle
#

crit is giving you defense too

opaque quest
#

Ye

#

I know

#

Was just wondering how much less i'd get overall

median tulip
#

I run my OCE as Vers because a) it Sims higher damage and b) in my regular guild M+ group that gives us all 5 colours

modern gazelle
#

i do verse for my guild as well, no one uses oce as verse usually and it sims the same damage basically as all the others

opaque quest
#

Same. Mine is also on vers

#

Most ppl run haste

#

Or obs

warm plinth
opaque quest
#

I want multistrike back. Only thing i care about

#

For moar deepz

warm plinth
#

I mean think about this. It takes you 5400 crit rating to get 30% crit. It takes you 6150 vers rating to get 30% vers (which is then reduced to 15% DR)

remote venture
opaque quest
#

How much more parry is 5300 CHC

warm plinth
#

Put simply, high key players do it and they obviously are right

opaque quest
#

5400*

#

All the high key players i locked at in the EU run full vers

#

And some crit vers

#

looked*

modern gazelle
#

i happen to have exactly 30% crit so there you go lol

warm plinth
#

All the high key players were also running ItF last season and we had to fight against it for most of the season until Andy started playing Heavy Repercussions and then they all followed suit, even though it was the right choice all along.

median tulip
#

For the vast majority of people stats make essentially no difference. Correct play matters 100 times more than stats.

timber terrace
#

Vers isn't just dr it's a very good damage stat and it buffs your healing, overall stacking Crit of vers will just provide you less value than splitting because their benefits multiply

median tulip
#

Almost everybody should quit overthinking things, slap on the highest ilvl they can, and focus on learning the class, spec and dungeons

jagged pier
#

^

opaque quest
#

100% right. Optimizing is still fun

#

If i wasnt thinking about playing some dps as offspecc i wouldnt touch my stuff

median tulip
#

I'm willing to bet I could time 20s with a full Vers/Mastery set on

jagged pier
#

of course u can

median tulip
#

Might try it just for giggles

jagged pier
#

its garbage

timber terrace
#

well you could time 20s with a 420 ilvl team in the first week so doing it with suboptimal stats and 25 more ilvl isn't really a challenge

median tulip
# restive scroll Any thoughts on that ? =]

At any point where the healing might be desirable, you're probably taking too much constant damage to be recieving it reliably. And the absorb shield is a substitute for a cheat death, and I generally prefer to avoid dying by murdering my enemies and being too angry to die.

opaque quest
#

Also stone scale exists

#

If you feel like you need heal

#

Just run that

#
  • i dont even need ignore pain all the time. I just spam revenge with thunder clap lmao
median tulip
#

You don't use Ignore Pain because you need Ignore Pain. You use Ignore Pain in order to avoid capping on Rage.

u should be running the 441 in m+

Well, random buffs are still interesting, when you don't need the stam

Ignore Pain as a button is a means of proccing Anger Management and Indomitable; the actual Ignore Pain absorb shield is merely a pleasant side effect.

You're a pleasant side effect

Sark cloak 24/7.

warm plinth
#

So I'm assuming Landslide actually hurts war?

jagged pier
#

well yer doesnt mean its not 'wrong'

warm plinth
#

I've only tanked NL with bear and ppal and both of them don't really give a fuck about Landslide

restive scroll
#

Well on average it was 600 or something, so i could mitigate that easily

#

That 840 came out of nowhere

#

Probably didn't have Ignore pain anymore, randomly

warm plinth
#

LANDSLIDE does that much damage?

restive scroll
#

Well, it did in tyra yesterday, at least once

#

Idk why

jagged pier
#

ppl say IP is a throw away thing its not throw away its just we have enough rage to have it up alot u dont need to think about it that much, its actually fair strong just not legion levels of 90% strong

opaque quest
#

God i want legion IP back

warm plinth
#

Oh, I guess it does hit kinda strong; idk why I never feel like landslide does anything haha

opaque quest
#

Why must you hurt me in this way

opaque quest
#

I was scared of final boss

#

Last week was my first tyra week

modern gazelle
#

Landslide? Is that supposed to hurt?

restive scroll
#

Especially because it was like the 5th one or something, i wasn't prepared

warm plinth
#

I am looking at a 20 I did on my druid the other day and it was hitting for 391k on average

modern gazelle
#

All I know is landslide > charge > keep killing

warm plinth
#

w/ crash hitting for 466k

opaque quest
warm plinth
#

But I guess when you have a mil HP, it doesn't really feel that bad to take a 391k hit keks

restive scroll
#

Not blocakable, afaik, so druid is better to mitigate it, righr?

modern gazelle
warm plinth
#

Landslide is nature damage

restive scroll
median tulip
restive scroll
warm plinth
#

No, it's the thing that knocks you back on the last boss

modern gazelle
warm plinth
#

Happens before molten crash (most of the time)

median tulip
#

Oh that

modern gazelle
#

Crash and sunder causing reflect to do like 7% of my overall damage during NL haha

restive scroll
#

Anyway, thanks for the feedback

warm plinth
median tulip
#

Stings a bit. That boss is one of the few I use DStance for on Tyr weeks

opaque quest
restive scroll
warm plinth
#

I just wish it was easier to do the reflect on the last boss of HoI as a fury war lol

modern gazelle
warm plinth
#

You have to take the squall buffet hit now in order to be able to reflect the deluge

modern gazelle
#

Also I need a way to disable all other players interrupts when I’m reflecting

opaque quest
modern gazelle
#

so is first on UR

median tulip
#

I did a 3 Warrior run into Vortex Pinnacle yesterday. Do much spell reflect damage on the first boss

opaque quest
#

Everytime i SR in vortex ppl just interrupt

restive scroll
opaque quest
#

Cause F me

warm plinth
#

They'd still kick

modern gazelle
#

Lmao

opaque quest
modern gazelle
#

I’m considering macroing /say reflecting to my reflect

ionic fern
#

No one will notice it.

modern gazelle
#

So that people at least see it

opaque quest
#

Theres a WA for that

warm plinth
#

Imagine reading chat in keys

ionic fern
#

^

modern gazelle
#

It pops up over head when it’s /say

ionic fern
#

Yes, no one will notice it

warm plinth
#

Pfft, who uses chat bubbles

ionic fern
#

80% of people are looking at their action bars.

warm plinth
#

They get in the way

ionic fern
#

20% of people are looking at things to avoid.

modern gazelle
#

Looking at action bars lmao

ionic fern
#

Jeah, you laugh.

opaque quest
#

Imagine having action bars active

ionic fern
#

But it is what it is.

modern gazelle
#

If you are doing 20+ and staring at bars you got problems

warm plinth
#

I have a WA that says LUST NOW on my screen (on lust toons) whenever someone says lust in chat; that's how much I don't look at chat

ionic fern
#

20

#

Is not

#

a high key.

#

20 players are bad.

median tulip
#

Make your action bars invisible in combat. It is the way.

warm plinth
#

I can't

#

Brain no work

modern gazelle
#

I just don’t use WA and instead put my action bars there to see cds

warm plinth
#

I know all of my keybinds intimately but take away my action bars and I'm a blubbering idiot

modern gazelle
#

WA for abilities bug me cause you can’t have keybind shown and I just like having the keybind shown

warm plinth
#

well, you CAN have it shown

modern gazelle
#

i just do this instead

opaque quest
#

ahaha

#

Nice

warm plinth
#

But yeah I'm actually currently just swapping over to mostly action bars with a few choice WAs for each toon

#

Instead of having the WA suites that I don't look at 90% of

modern gazelle
#

i try to limilt WA cause they are the biggest pain to update out of everything

#

less is better

median tulip
#

I don't even look at my weakauras; I have them play a sound when something comes off cooldown. I have a reaction like Pavlov's Dog to the "Avatar is off Cooldown" noise

warm plinth
opaque quest
#

I had to force myself to use WAs instead of bars

warm plinth
#

I have a WA on my rogue that calls me an idiot when my blade flurry is about to drop

opaque quest
#

I turned the bars off and struggled a week

warm plinth
#

And ofc the BM hunter barbed shot WA

#

which I have make a ding whenever it appears

median tulip
warm plinth
#

As it should

median tulip
#

Indeed so

warm plinth
#

I have the same thing when I am about to cap on Judgment charges on pally

#

It says stop capping judgment charges asshole

modern gazelle
#

i have a WA that yells at me if i sit in def stance

warm plinth
#

What have we learned here

modern gazelle
#

every 3s it goes "protected" really fucking loud

warm plinth
#

That we all like being yelled at

modern gazelle
#

warriors are idiots?

#

oh, yeah, that

#

hence battle shout

warm plinth
#

I have an urge to share my party buffs WA to every single fucking person who has one

#

Because I swear to god pugs will not use that shit unless you ask them 5 times

median tulip
#

I also have one that turns the screen into an enormous battle shout symbol if I'm dismounted and don't have battle shout up

modern gazelle
#

i wanta to force everyone to use quazii plater profile

#

so people know what and when to kick

#

instead of kicking the stupidest shit and then not having it for important abilities

jagged pier
#

u dont need an addon for that

sick sentinel
#

I agree warriors are idiots with anger issues

jagged pier
#

u just need a 🧠

opaque quest
modern gazelle
jagged pier
#

no which is why i save all my stops for the big stuff

sick sentinel

Don't inv casuals simple, stop blaming pugs ect

Tank mentality "this group of players suck"

modern gazelle
opaque quest
#

This

sick sentinel
#

I think I do know

ionic fern
#

It's human mentality.
Even the crap DPS in your group is thinking "This group of players sucks".

opaque quest
#

Its always the others

modern gazelle
opaque quest
#

Tho when you have 3ppl insta clear chains on 2nd boss in nelth, then yes, its the others xd

modern gazelle
#

the crap dps isnt thinking though

#

😛

median tulip
#

In my experience, the worse the DPS the more likely someone is to blame everyone else

sick sentinel
#

Tanking is easiest job

opaque quest
#

the problem with dps is that they think: its a tank/healer affix

median tulip
ionic fern
#

Tanking is easy indeed.
Tanking well is not that easy.

modern gazelle
sick sentinel
#

Bad tank leads to bad group so reflect

modern gazelle
#

cough cough afflicted cough cough

sick sentinel
opaque quest
#

Cause F us and incorp

#

Now its aff

warm plinth
#

Everyone out here complaining about not being able to do incorp or afflicted on war and I'm just over here chilling because it's someone else's problem

opaque quest
#

And it will be the same 😄

opaque quest
ionic fern
median tulip
#

90% of the actual skill of tanking isn't anything to do with buttons; it's everything to do with how you compensate for the rest of the party

ionic fern
#

Hex having a 30s CD

warm plinth
#

Yeah that can be a bit awkward

opaque quest
median tulip
warm plinth
#

I know

sick sentinel
#

Pugs aren't in comms and nobody checks who is targeting what no one, so just don't expect it, simples

warm plinth
#

WAit

#

Not afflicted

opaque quest
#

Afflicted?

#

no

warm plinth
#

Incorp you mean

opaque quest
#

Incorp

#

Stun and Fear isnt perma tho

warm plinth
#

Afflicted are the dispel bois

median tulip
#

Incorp yeah. The one from last week

warm plinth
#

Technically you can fear one enough that it's taken care of, if you run the talent

opaque quest
#

Or we just shatter it. EVERY THREE MINUTES

warm plinth
#

Yeah fuck that

#

That's a slap in the face

sick sentinel
#

Incorp just interrupt and stormbolt it if no one ccs it then the packs normally dead at that point if it casts when packs dead who cares

warm plinth
#

How you gonna give priest a SECOND way to CC them, and give DK a great way to CC them, and then give us...that

opaque quest
#

Because blizz devs play warlock

warm plinth
#

They should 100% have put that on wrecking throw

modern brook
#

Let other classes Simp mechanics

warm plinth
#

Because then we can do 1 per wave

sick sentinel
#

Bdk no cc incorp wasteful completely wasteful

median tulip
#

Warlock has FOUR applicable CCs for Incorp

opaque quest
#

what

#

Control undead is bis for it

sick sentinel
#

No

opaque quest
#

Belte is trolling

#

or stupid

#

or both

sick sentinel
#

Not if you have priest

#

No bro

opaque quest
#

Dude its 2 adds

sick sentinel
#

I play bdk

opaque quest
#

You can MC both you know

median tulip
#

Best is Priest Mind Control

sick sentinel
#

It doesn't stack YOU KNOW

opaque quest
#

Dude you dont have a priest every run

sick sentinel
#

its a cast YOU KNOW

#

one person will cc it YOU KNOW

warm plinth
#

How does warlock have 4? Generally the only CCs anyone cares about are the ones that shut them down the entire duration.

modern brook
#

Lmao chill

sick sentinel
#

CU only usable on boss

modern brook
#

It's not even a real affix

warm plinth
#

Which is just fear and banish

sick sentinel
#

And it doesn't stack so if you got priest just don't do it YOU KNOW

#

Moron

warm plinth
#

What is even happening right now

#

Why are we throwing insults

median tulip
warm plinth
#

Oh, enslave, can you even take that realistically

modern brook
#

Mortal coil

warm plinth
#

And mortal coil is only like 2 or 3 seconds

modern brook
#

Not that I play lock

opaque quest
#

Isnt mortal coil only like 3 seconds?

sick sentinel
#

Because I get called out on what I play keks

modern brook
#

Literally no one's talking to you

warm plinth
#

Who called you out on what you play

sick sentinel
#

Read up

opaque quest
#

Told him control undead is bis if you dont have a priest

#

But since belte thinks every player has a static with a priest he thinks CU is bad

warm plinth
#

Literally no one said shit about what spec you play

sick sentinel
#

It is cause it doesn't stack "stupid"

opaque quest
#

He still doesnt understand that not every grp has a priest

modern brook
warm plinth
#

Idk he's just being rude for no reason, I don't get it

sick sentinel
#

Oh what's meta?

modern brook
#

I'm glad eu skyhold is basically the same thing as na skyhold

sick sentinel
#

Ok

#

Resd

opaque quest
#

Are there 2 skyholds?^^

warm plinth

I think he just means these hours

modern brook

Just by the clock

opaque quest

Makes sense

modern brook
#

I had to peepee real bad and now I cant sleep so here I am

#

Setting myself up for a shitty wednesday

median tulip
#

I'm always amazed by how DPS players don't fucking know what their spells do. Like Warlocks not knowing that they can banish Aberrations

opaque quest
#

Im a baker. Im always awake at 4 am wether i work or not

warm plinth
#

What's an aberration

opaque quest
#

Its a zerg unit

modern brook

That spawns 2 banelings when it dies

I picked up hots again.

modern brook

Freaking amazing.

I love hots so much

So sad its dead

ionic fern
#

Idk.

modern brook
#

Hots 2.0 was dope

ionic fern
#

I get insta ques.

#

WOuldn't say it's dead.

opaque quest
#

I was rank 1 for months then Hots 2.0 placed me in bronze

#

That hurt

#

I mean dead compared to lol. When i queue in low masters high dia i wait 30 minutes

ionic fern
#

Eeh.

#

I'm just using Hots as a "fun game".

#

Nothing serious.

modern brook
#

Just pick butcher and random q

opaque quest
#

Oh yeah quick play queues are instant

modern brook
#

Its basically the same thing as betting on black every spin

ionic fern
#

I'm just using Mephisto

#

Cause it's fun.

opaque quest
#

Problem is im a healer main and quick play as heal is pure pain

ionic fern
#

Just play LiLi and /brain afk.

opaque quest
#

I can feel my braincells dying just by reading the name

modern brook
#

Bro that's not fair

opaque quest
#

YOU SPAM Q

#

AND E

#

😄

modern brook
#

All the healers in hots are braindead except whitemane

ionic fern
#

Ngl, LiLi is fun for me.

#

I always go full ddps.

#

Reghar is fun.

opaque quest
#

I was a WM main until they reworked her

ionic fern
#

As well.

modern brook
#

Lucio u legit just walk in a circle

opaque quest
#

Now i only play rehg

#

Cause zug zug

ionic fern
#

I don't heal tho.

opaque quest
#

Haha

ionic fern
#

I run around in wolf and bite people.

opaque quest
#

Wolf go grrr

#

Need bloodlust for maximum woof

ionic fern
#

Or just play Tyrael and charge the back line healer cause it's QM and no one is peeling for them.

modern brook
ionic fern
#

Agreed.

opaque quest
#

Chain heal is minus dps

#

Its like an interrupt

ionic fern
#

"Ah, sorry, i forgot i'm playing Reghar..i thought i'm doing the Graymanes wolf build".

opaque quest
#

F me. Now i need to play a round of WM

#

Cause hohohohohoh

modern brook
#

Wm owns

#

I hate playing her so much

#

But I love the character

ionic fern
#

Who'se WM?

modern brook
#

Whitemane

opaque quest
#

Whitemane

ionic fern
#

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

opaque quest
#

With rainbow skin and rainbow unicorn 😄

ionic fern
#

The ninja monk dude healer is chill.

modern brook
#

Whuh

ionic fern
#

I like healers who are not healers but DPS'ers.

opaque quest
#

Man those hips dont lie

modern brook
#

The monk from d3?

ionic fern
#

Yes.

opaque quest
#

Kharazim

ionic fern
#

Maybe, i can't remember the name.

opaque quest
#

Team we need heal

#

Me: Iron fists it is

ionic fern
#

I honestly don't know what his other ult is.

#

Or whatit does.

#

I always go for the damage one.

opaque quest
#

SSS

ionic fern
#

😂

opaque quest
#

Or palm

#

Its cheat death

ionic fern
#

Okay

#

Sounds boring.

modern brook
#

Cheat dn

opaque quest
#

Put it on someone, if they die with buff up they get back to 50%

#

All the metas play 2 tank or tank bruiser so SSS is the meta anyways

ionic fern
#

Went HoJ build on Uther yesterday. Did almost no healing, the team lost..but i did get mentioned in the end-game screen for a lot of stun time.

#

So..worth it.

modern brook
#

The weeb angel from d3 is my favorite healer to play

opaque quest
#

Auriel

ionic fern
#

Don't have her. 😦

opaque quest
#

Give Blizz money

#

Bobby needs another yacht

modern brook
#

She has big clap and line slap and owns and her health does damage and the best part is its reliant on your team go be able to do something for the heal to actually heal

ionic fern
#

Oh

#

So..like Ana?

opaque quest
#

Worse

#

Much worse

#

Auriel gets energy to use on her heal when someone else with a buff from her does dmg

modern brook
#

So thay way when ur getting absolutely dumpsters in healing done by the opposing malf you can just blame them for being useless it's literally perfect

opaque quest
#

Just put your crown on a valla

ionic fern
#

But vallas all dive in and die.

modern brook
#

Also she adds to hat comp

ionic fern
#

VAULT>MISS STUN ULT>DIE

modern brook
opaque quest
#

Thats fair

modern brook
#

Combos true

ionic fern
#

Best combo.

#

Also..i just found yesterday that i can't heal Deathwing.

opaque quest
#

Nobody can

modern brook
#

Death wing is ass bro

ionic fern
#

Jeah, i was unaware of that mechanic.

#

😂

opaque quest
#

Death wing is mega broken in QP cause nobody reads Telegraphs

modern brook
#

Alright I should probably pretend to sleep. Mwahi I love you. Enjoy baking rooach.

ionic fern
#

BReaths in > side step and kill him.

modern brook
#

Have a good day yall

ionic fern
#

Wjhile he channels.

#

Roach doesnt bake today. Or tomorrow. Cause roach has chill for the rest of the week

ionic fern
#

Know what else i like..Zeratul.

#

I domn't know what i'm doing on him at all.

#

But i still kill people and look cool teleporting around.

opaque quest
#

I always feed on zeratul

#

Same as nova

#

And ilidan

opaque quest
#

Do i want to stop at 30% CHC then go into vers? Or just keep going chc for deepz

warm plinth
#

Nothing wrong with having a bit of everything, but you don't need to hard stop at 30% or anything

opaque quest
#

Sweet thx

bright acorn
#

hi guys just checking logs and i see lots of warriors are going crit haste

#

why is crit being prioritize? thx

opaque quest
#

DAMAAAAGE

jagged pier
#

nope not because of just damage

opaque quest
#

I swapped from haste vers to haste crit 2 hours ago did a 22 and it feels the same but my dmg increased alot

#

Well its parry too

#

But mostly dmg

jagged pier
#

the TLDR is

#

stats dont really matter

#

vers is only good if u can get to high levels

#

which u cant atm

#

crit actually even tho it is rng

#

will do more damage mitigation than vers over a key

#

so your IP can stop more magic damage

#

its also more damage

#

but

#

if u want to run vers

#

your more than welcome

#

will hardly change anything to a point where u wont notice it really

#

but u will probs do less damage

opaque quest
#

Going crit haste also lets you easily play fury as offspecc. I just checked droptimizer and my biggest upgrade would be 161 dps

#

Or Arms. Also needs crit haste

#

Dunno how much it matters to most ppl but being able to chill a key as dps is dope

latent jungle

8 weeks for tmog tho

sly shadow
#

hello

#

does anyone have any suggestions for certain trackers for people who don't like to use class specific weakaura packages (i mean the ones that show every single cooldown) I'd like to freshen up my ui a bit. I have a shieldblock tracker and a last stand tracker for my tier set but i cant think of any others

#

I mainly use hotbars to track all of my ability cooldowns and seperate weakauras to track important buff cooldowns etc

ionic fern
#

If you don't need anything else, don't get anything else.

sly shadow
#

yep i just cant think if i m missing any important buffs

ionic fern
#

I personally also have a WA for SW

#

Since i cba looking up at top right.

sly shadow
#

oh shieldwall

#

good idea

#

really good idea

opaque quest
#

Whats the procedure on bleed debuffs? Reroll dwarf or die?

ionic fern
#

SW.

#

Feed rage into IP.

#

Pray that your healer is tracking bleeds.

jagged pier
#

get healed

opaque quest
#

Get healed sounds fun. Especially when i got 120k hps in NL while the healer has 55

ionic fern
#

Healer HPS only matters if someone is dying.

opaque quest
#

Well i am dying

ionic fern
#

I'm almost always doing less HPS than the tanks on my rshaman.

ionic fern
opaque quest
#

Ye but not 50k while the tank dies after exhausting 3 deff CDs

sly shadow
#

how are you doing 120k hps?

opaque quest
#

Last stand impending victory and IP spam

#

Its not overall or smth. Its on the first huge pull with the shard hulk thingy before first boss

sly shadow
#

i wondered if i was doing something wrong, I am not I've just never seen it that high

opaque quest
#

What key lvls are you playing?

sly shadow
opaque quest
#

Wait until you do 21s 22s. Shit starts to hurt bad after 20

sly shadow
#

yeah my warrior is very new, I feel like some stuff even now smacks but im sure it will get better the more loot i get

opaque quest
#

Dont worry. Im not judging. My warr is 3 weeks old now

#

Still learning too

#

I feel like switching at least 1 dps trinket to a def trinket for now

brazen yarrow
#

i dont think

sly shadow
#

might not be a bad idea

#

chromatic essence is my only useful trinket atm, I have a darkmoon deck craft for my other one

opaque quest
#

Oh ye thats terribad

#

Thats what i got rn

sly shadow
#

my only other trinket is gnoll flare

opaque quest
#

Have you done the mega dungeon?

sly shadow
#

on my other characters

opaque quest
#

Sandglas and stone scale feel good

sly shadow
#

not on my warrior yet

opaque quest
#

Just go for it. Apart from final boss youre gonna breeze through on prot

sly shadow
#

honestly the quality of people trying to pug dawn of the infinite is the biggest turn away

#

you always have some high ilvl high io "gigachad" try to ego the mechanics with there ilvl and die

#

i do it with my friends when they are available

opaque quest
#

I NEVER join a doti group without everybody having the achievement. I rather not do it or wait

#

Just open a grp and have ppl link achi before invite

sly shadow
#

not a bad plan

#

lol i need a battle shout tracker that insults me

#

for my paladin in wotlk i had one that said TURN ON RIGHTEOUS FURY NOOB

i mean forgestorm is only useful for raid

so if u dont raid theres no point in it

chilly brook

Do you care about raid? Etc.

Ask yourself if you need the dps for your raid

Most guilds are 446 now

chilly brook

hmmm, I mean both are about same dps difference is about 50 🤷‍♂️

Sure. But how much do you need it

chilly brook

Doesn’t matter if you’re full of blasters

undone verge
sand drum
#

agree w griff

opaque quest
#

Depends. Are we talking about progress or farm. In progress it matters way more. If everythings on farm just loot for w/e you want more

sand drum
chilly brook
#

If you’re in a group of blasters and you can do 96k instead of 80k you’re pushing the boss faster which is almost always better
