i cant get up on the rocks on the right side for the life of me

#

also @strong forum do you have a good tyr week route for hoi?

#

for 25+ keys

strong forum
#

nah, only pre-soothe change i think

solemn current
#

You have to jump from near where the mushroom is as it's more elevated

modern gazelle
#

got it...jeez what a pain

modern gazelle
strong forum
#

havent really paid attention what people do now

solemn current
#

You can skip the last pack with a soothe still using the rocks. Only pack you can't skip with soothe is the middle one

modern gazelle
#

trying to find things to swap

south zealot
#

u can chain any pull after apparatus is dead

#

assuming u have stops availablre

modern gazelle
#

how are you skipping first dragon

#

soothe and hug wall?

south zealot
#

evoker rescues priest and priest grips someone through

#

i leap through

#

and i think druid can invis is(?)

modern gazelle
#

leap where?

solemn current
#

You can just soothe and jump along the little left rock of the dragon. It's tight but doable.

#

wait

#

don't even need a soothe if the pat isn't in melee range of the dragon duh

modern gazelle
#

how come no one ever does thet other side after 1st boss

past laurel
#

is Unstable Frostfire Belt good to craft? even tho i have 2x shadowflame on boots and pants.

modern gazelle
#

you will have to remove a shadowflame to wear it

past laurel
#

yea i know, just is it worth to lose 1?

modern gazelle
#

its the same dps

pallid quiver
#

Not particularly if you don't have like a Mythic Eggnog ring

#

Even then, I think it's slightly worse?

modern gazelle
#

if you already have 2 shadowflame just craft the primal molten belt

pallid quiver
#

can't fully remember, but if you already have 2x shadpwflame, yeah

past laurel
#

okay ty,

strong forum
past laurel
#

cuz i have 3 sparks, have 2 rings pants feet, crafted. just not sure what to craft for prot,

strong forum
#

legit arty, naowh, andy all do that first frog room

#

and not the cringe side route

south zealot
modern gazelle
#

why dont people? like most pugs dont

strong forum
#

cuz AAAAH FROG

modern gazelle
solemn current
#

Been telling people since the beginning of the xpac frog room was better. Pugs can't handle it though.

south zealot
#

bc theres a shit ton of frogs and ppl panic easily

blazing condor
#

peepoHappy froge

south zealot
#

they miss kicks and ppl die

modern gazelle
#

this is exactly 100%

solemn current
#

Reason you pull the one pack in the first big room of the dungeon is for access to the skip

#

The walk back otherwise is....yea

modern gazelle
#

oh yeah, if you wipe i feel like key is bricked on hoi though cause skip sucks so bad

solemn current
#

Way I see it one way MIGHT lead to a brick but the other way WILL lead to a brick

modern gazelle
#

or this for top floor

lusty grotto
#

đŸ„‘

past laurel
#

LOL i killed the boss on H and got Heroic, buts its showing normal..

#

Now thats a bug..

blazing condor
#

probably cus u got the 4/8 version

#

so its not "supposed" to be hc

modern gazelle
#

so what is dangerous about the pull 6 on that last pic? the shock troopers?

past laurel
#

is what droped, is what i got, now its showing, Normal.

#

ive not killed sark on normal this week.

lusty grotto
#

we're gonna need some proof

past laurel
lusty grotto
#

is this from vault?

past laurel
#

no

#

boss,

#

got socket from vault.

lusty grotto
#

ok well do you have a screenshot dropping it?

past laurel
#

i don't but why would a H boss drop noraml loot?

lusty grotto
#

put in a ticket

#

we aint Blizzard CS

#

so we're more likely to look for user mistakes than anything

#

they will have access to drops

#

as long as you know the time and date of course

strong forum
#

GMs can't give out items you didn't have, they're just gonna tell you unluck

lusty grotto
#

or at least that will help them out

#

its still worth putting a ticket in

#

cause if it is a bug... they will forward it

#

and i doubt hes looking for the item since he has the heroic version anyway

modern gazelle
south zealot
#

the shocktroopers NEED to be kicked or immediately purged

#

and frogs make people panic and miss kick/not purge immediately

#

its the combination of those two enemies

modern gazelle
#

ah okay, when you say purged what do you mean?

strong forum
#

Dispelled

#

Mass dispel, purge, consume magic etc

modern gazelle
#

okay thats what i assumed but wasnt sure, what class uses purge?

strong forum
#

Priest, shaman, dh, warlock

#

Mage can spellsteal it probably

#

Dunno if hunter or rogue can purge these days

south zealot
#

should be able to tranq shot it as hunter

hushed granite
#

Not sure if this is a stupid question but thought I’d give prot a go for a bit to mix up being a dps. When the guides say “never let shieldblock fall off” can you actually have a 100% uptime on it? Max I could get was a 2sexond drop off before I could really

strong forum
#

But like, just kick it

hushed granite
#

Re apply*

south zealot
#

you have max uptime with shield charge and last stand

#

with bolster talent

strong forum
#

Yes, you can have 100% uptime

south zealot
#

and enough haste

strong forum
#

You need 3 of the 4 block talents

#

To get 100% uptime

#

Any combination of it

modern gazelle
#

if you correct talents its pretty easy to keep 100% i never even have to think of it really

#

you can basically just send SB on cd and itll be fine

hushed granite
#

Ahh that’s provably why. I try the shield block into shield charge etc to get a extra block out of it. thought you save Last stand for emergencies? I suppose it’s fine to weave in to keep block up?

pallid quiver
#

If you have tier, you use LS on CD

strong forum
#

You don't save any CD for emergencies

hushed granite
#

Ok I’m with ya. Will give that a go.

pallid quiver
#

Without tier, you should look into not running bolster

hushed granite
#

Have about 33% haste atm

pallid quiver
#

Any of our CDs tied to damage are just sent on CD

strong forum
#

Haste is irrevelevant for SB uptime

lusty grotto
strong forum
#

Aslong as you run 3 of the 4 talents and press your buttons

#

You'll have 100%

pallid quiver
#

It's also good to remember that you can stack up SB uptime

#

So if you use both charges, you'll have the duration of both (up to a cap of 3 uses, Bolster ignores that)

strong forum
#

Obv you want alot of haste, but there's no required amount of haste

hushed granite
#

Yeah that is pretty nice, so you don’t have to worry about overlapping charges

#

Ahh I thought it was similar to legion where you wanted as much haste to maximise SB uptime. Been a while since going prot

strong forum
#

Nah, SB Uptime is given these days, provided your press your buttons

pallid quiver
#

Haste is still one of our best stats, but SB uptime is determined mostly by talents and play, not haste

hushed granite
#

👌

modern gazelle
#

even shield wall btw

modern brook
#

Haste gain is fitting more ability presses into an allotted time

modern gazelle
#

send that shit regularly

modern brook
#

More abilities more rage Gen more rage spent more cds more rage Gen more rage soent

hushed granite
#

Oh yeah with the cd reduction in shield wall through rage spent is huge

modern gazelle
#

the only time i dont randomly waste shield wall is in raid cause sometimes you do want it for specific times, but on big packs its up every 50s roughly

modern gazelle
strong forum
#

Yeah but that's not for you

hushed granite
#

I’ll keep playing around with it before trying it in keys

#

Much appreciated people 👍

pallid quiver
#

I'd recommend swinging by the training dummies and just getting muscle memory down. It's always good practice to just swing by the dummies every now and then

modern gazelle
#

basically spam shield slam, then thunder clap, then IP/Revenge respectively and other than that click everything on cd

#

tbh pwar is very simple once you get used to it

lusty grotto
#

uhhh what

#

IP is ogcd, there's no set order

#

Shield Slam > Thunderclap > Revenge, period

#

IP in between as necessary

modern gazelle
#

you still have to think of rage, if you are capping rage sure, but if for some reason you are low rage dont spam ip with revenge or you might be in a bad spot

#

since those are our 2 main spenders i lumped them together

lusty grotto
#

that's just not a good way to put them

pallid quiver
#

i don't know why reading this made me choke on my water, but if i drown and die imma haunt you all

modern gazelle
lusty grotto
#

no thats a fact

#

đŸ„‘

modern gazelle
#

its not though

#

the way i group things in my head vs you doesnt make it fact, we said basically the exact same thing, you cant spend rage on revenge if you are spending it on ip and you cant ip if you are spending it on revenge unless you are capping and spending on both

#

hence the "respectively" in my comment

#

and if you are low on rage you do have to make the choice whether spending it on revenge or ip, since in some cases IP will be more important than revenge

lusty grotto
#

the fact that you have to explain what you meant, means its NOT A GOOD WAY TO PUT IT

modern gazelle
#

you felt i had to explain what i meant

#

doesnt mean they did

#

i dont necessarily think your way is a great way to put it cause its implying that revenge is more important than IP

lusty grotto
#

which doesnt matter because youre putting it in a channel with thousands of lurkers

strong forum
lusty grotto
#

either you focus on rage gen

#

or you focus on a rotation

#

or a prio list

#

you cant do both and think its self explanatory

modern gazelle
#

i gave a prio list, revenge/ip are what contest eacother in the prio list

lusty grotto
#

they arent

#

because IP can be sent in between any of those

modern gazelle
#

both cost rage, you have to CHOOSE to spend on one of them

#

at any given point one is more valuable than the other

#

so yes, they do contest

lusty grotto
#

no they dont

modern gazelle
#

you cant send ip if you are rage starving yourself from revenge

lusty grotto
#

you gave a prio list for what

cinder nova
#

I don't think you can starve with revenge

modern gazelle
#

given your list some lurkers may think ip isnt important and to always go with revenge unless capping rage

lusty grotto
#

what is this prio list for?

cinder nova
#

You literally generate rage faster than you can spend it with just Rev

lusty grotto
#

answer that question

#

whats the focus of it

modern gazelle
#

guy is asking for rotation help on war bud, did you read chat?

lusty grotto
#

ok so its not for rage management

modern gazelle
#

how to keep sb up, so i gave a gist of the war rotation

lusty grotto
modern gazelle
#

what the fuck does that matter? the question is on warrior, and as you play warrior and do the rotation rage management is crucial

cinder nova
#

Press ShB, Press ShCh, Press LS gratz 100% uptime

modern gazelle
#

like dude, just cause you feel your way is perfect doesnt mean someone cant say something similar in a different manner

lusty grotto
#

it matters cause youre putting IP dead last when it can be used ANYWHERE in that prio list

modern gazelle
#

you are putting it dead last

#

you write it as if its an after thought

lusty grotto
modern gazelle
#

"and yeah click ip whenever, not that important" is how im reading yours

lusty grotto
#

is IP/Revenge not dead last in this prio list?

#

do you know what a priority list means?

modern gazelle
#

im giving a one sentence simplified version of pwar rotation

lusty grotto
#

either be clear or dont send shit that can be interpreted as misinformation

modern gazelle
#

first focus is always ss/tc followed by ip/rev since ip will come naturally if playing right and rev is filler

#

ah yes cause you have never said dumb shit in this channel

#

gtfo

lusty grotto
#

i have

#

and ive corrected it

modern gazelle
#

whatever you say bud

#

you are perfect, best warrior na 🙂

lusty grotto
#

its fine to make mistakes

#

that makes us humans

modern gazelle
#

all hail nimchip, king of warriors, only one that knows how to play the class

lusty grotto
#

lol ok

#

see the difference is i accept when im wrong

#

đŸ€·

modern gazelle
#

i accept when im wrong and have tons of times in here, but im not wrong in this instance you just cant handle i didnt say it the exact way you like

lusty grotto
#

you are wrong

modern gazelle
#

cause god forbid someone doesnt copy paste your answers to shit

lusty grotto
#

and its ok to be wrong

cerulean tusk
#

so who is right?

modern gazelle
#

if you listen to him? me

lusty grotto
#

whoever is not left

#

dawn did i hurt your pride?

modern gazelle
#

if you listen to me? neither cause i can actually see how two people can say the same thing in diff ways

#

no, clearly i hurt yours

lusty grotto
#

thats a 1 expansion worth of pride?

#

how about this

warm plinth
#

I'm confused. What did he say that was wrong?

lusty grotto
warm plinth
#

What's wrong with that?

modern gazelle
#

its not his perfect answer the exact way he wants it worded

lusty grotto
#

IP being dead last in a prio list

cerulean tusk
#

Seems alright to me, as a basically statement?

chilly brook
#

I read that as “hit IP as needed”

cerulean tusk
#

Same

chilly brook
#

Which applies to not capping and hitting it when you need extra tankiness

warm plinth
#

I mean, he could've gone into slightly more detail and said to dump rage with revenge and IP if that's not ennough. But I certainly don't think it's wrong, and definitely not deserving of the flak he's getting lol.

chilly brook

i think no other class discord does it best

lusty grotto

you havent been on other tank discords then

#

because this just isnt it

lusty tiger
chilly brook
#

There’s a reason I actually stay in this discord and basically only visit the others occasionally

#

The rest just aren’t fun

#

Maybe that says more about me actually being a warrior brain than anything

cinder nova
#

Yeah, heading over to the druid discord and guardian is literally just people badmouthing other tank discord theorycrafters for... really nothing, unironically.

#

Plus, warrior isn't a class it's a lifestyle. There's an unspoken level of brown class solidarity I've never seen in any other class since I started in '06.

Last piece of 447 gear finally (minus trinkets...)

chilly brook
#

Like I said had a conversation with a dude playing a blood dk who refused to believe that other prot warriors were bad and that it was just impossible to do damage with them

#

Because he hasn’t played with any prot warrior that could hold aggro against him on bosses

modern gazelle
#

other tank discords are boring af

vocal nimbus
#

well, players that seek sources like this discord or wowhead/icyveins are a small fraction

#

most of them just press shiny

cinder nova
#

Don't remind me. I'm still coping when Nom told me anyone that's doing +15s is already in the top 10% of players

#

And that people 3K+ and doing at least half a mythic tier are probably single digit top %.

lusty grotto
#

yup

#

and anyone doing keys is still a portion of the player base anyway

#

so even those numbers are even lower

modern gazelle
#

according to the stat websites 2500 is like top 14% or something

cinder nova
#

Of people doing M+.

modern gazelle
#

and over 60% of players are at least 1500

cinder nova
#

Not all players.

#

There's a shocking number of players that just... don't know how to play the game even at cap.

modern gazelle
#

ah guess thats true

#

yeah a lot of people just do quests and farm mounts and shit

maybe, but hopefully not intentional

cinder nova

Even if it wasn't intentional, do you think they'll fix it at the drop of a hat or wait 2-3 weeks before rolling off their asses?

chilly brook
#

People are still going to press the button in normal rotation because arms is swimming in rage

lusty tiger

why nerf arms

lusty grotto
#

yeah but i dont blame them

warm plinth
#

nah ofc not

lusty grotto
#

tyrannical week

warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

dps doesnt look horrible, both runs should have been able to do it

#

but it is what it is

warm plinth
#

Yeah, I did a 16 Underrot w/ 2 augvokers, one of which was my 392 one keks

lusty grotto
#

its VP so numbers will look like ass compared to other dungeons

warm plinth
#

You can do up to 20s with pretty "low" dps tbh

#

as long as it's clean of course

#

tyr Uldaman would probably be the hardest one to time

lusty grotto
#

uldaman feels like its on AV's position this tier

#

where the timer can feel exceedingly tight and its very noticeable with 5 tyrannical bosses

warm plinth
#

Yeah, ToP is another comparable one

lusty grotto
#

oh yea

warm plinth
#

I guess w/ Uldaman you at least feel like you're doing something in between though

#

ToP felt so slow because of all those stupid single target minibosses

modern gazelle
#

we were on experiments and we had zero slows on bosses it was rough lol got way easier after i mentioned it

lavish sphinx
#

Second run was a breeze

lusty grotto
#

i see

lavish sphinx
#

Low dps overall prolonging trash packs too

#

It was a cocktail of issues

lusty grotto
#

if that was overall, it doesnt look like it was bad

opaque quest
#

Vault time. Pray for me

lavish sphinx
#

That was the last boss but I’m just saying it was low overall

lusty grotto
#

opaque quest
#

Well fuck me i guess

No raid testing done yet

ah

Dratnos did a video reading through the mechanics in the new raid - sounds like quite a bit of magic

drifting juniper
#

Guys is it worth it to play massacare and juggernautt this week for boosting 20s

#

to help with St on bosses

#

or is punish too important

lusty grotto
#

no

#

punish is important

#

its never worth to play those talents in keys

drifting juniper
#

i do 60k st right now

#

need dps trinkets i guess

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt matter

long hamlet
#

@opaque quest what weapon mog are those?

lusty grotto
#

this is a tyrannical 26

#

the first one is a fortified one

#

absolutely zero massacre and juggernaught

drifting juniper
#

so you mean our damage is like this in general

#

i get what u mean but my train of thought was like in +20 not higher, only 20 i take very low damage maybne i can swap my defensive talents for execute to help my team kill bosses faster

lusty grotto
#

no

#

youre not gonna time the key due to your dmg

drifting juniper
#

and take heavy repurcausin for shiled uptime

warm plinth
#

you swapping to those talents is not going to make any significant difference in the timer tbh

drifting juniper
#

its boost, 1 person not playing, they expect me to do better on the boss in tyra

lusty grotto
#

we dont even play massacre and juggernaught on the pinned ST specs

#

in fact

#

none of our pinned builds have massacre and/or juggernaught

warm plinth
#

Maybe you should tell your dps to stop running their giga pad builds for boosts then; that would do a lot more to help than you playing a couple of different talents that we don't even take in raid.

lusty grotto
#

and incorrect

#

and by "its boost" do you mean you're boosting?

drifting juniper
#

yes

lusty grotto
#

ok well fuck you

#

im going to sleep

#

have fun with this one ghash

warm plinth
#

wat

lusty grotto
#

you know i dont support boosting

warm plinth
#

I was not aware of that. I used to boost all the time when communities were a thing.

drifting juniper
#

they are still a thing

warm plinth
#

When communities were legally a thing

drifting juniper
#

they are legally still a thing, blizzard changed their mind 1 week after that decision

warm plinth
#

No, they clarified that GUILDS could still boost. Communities are absolutely not allowed lol.

drifting juniper
#

they made it even better for them by removing gold restrictions between realms

next pumice
#

I dont get boosting. Pay money to play game, then dont play game but instead pay other people to play for you...

#

Because big numbers go brrrr? What for?

warm plinth
#

There are a lot of reasons people buy boosts, and none of them are to pay other people to play for you.

next pumice
#

Its not the reason, but its the outcome, at least partially.

warm plinth
#

Time constraints are probably the #1 reason people buy boosts, followed closely by frustration with how annoying it is to pug.

#

A lot of people who buy boosts will participate in the run

#

So they're still playing, just with people they know will actually be worth a shit

jagged pier
#

ppl play the game differently some ppl can make 30 mil gold ez

#

but arent the best at ppling m+ or raids

#

i think its perfectly fair they can buy boosts etc

#

i aint making 30 mil

#

but ill take the money

drifting juniper
#

also i dont know you know about it or not but around 18 19 20 the pug premade is so horrible

#

that when people make an alt and want weekly

#

they just cba and buy it since its pretty cheap

jagged pier
#

well its horrible now

#

it was fine like a month ago

warm plinth
#

Yeah people want to play the game when they're on the game; they don't want to play lfg simulator

blazing condor
#

i got 70k okayge

drifting juniper
#

most of my boosts are for people's alts rather than people who cant play the agme

warm plinth
#

And with raids, a lot of people cba joining a guild or a pug and trying to prog heroic or some shit, so they just buy it from a group that will do it in an hour and a half

jagged pier
#

well espiecally as curve this tier is so cheap

warm plinth
#

I bought quite a few raid boosts back when I was boosting keys because I don't care much for raiding but I wanted the raid loot

charred gyro
jagged pier
#

well yer ppl that boost tend to buy them for alts because they have the gold

chilly brook
#

tbh I'll take it for it being my first 20 tanked (this season) and it being VP

jagged pier
warm plinth
#

Honestly that's pretty solid for VP w/o an aug

chilly brook
#

shield slam go brrrrr

drifting juniper
#

when people make an alt they mostly just buy full heroic for like 150k and get an instant tier set, 400k full mega dungeon for aspects and loot with their armor stack and +20 vault to avoid spending aspect on upgrading

i might dwarf racial probably gunna be useful next season

#

they should just let u choose racial now

#

i wanna be human fmale so much by far my favourite animations in the game

#

but nope

#

stoneform

chilly brook
#

they'll leave stoneform as is until next xpac hits beta

#

then they'll nerf it just like every other racial that was top tier in M+

jagged pier
#

i came up with the idea that if u are exalted with a faction on 1 char they can teach u the racial, even if u were opposite faction

#

but as long as somewhere u were exalted with stormwind for instance

#

u can learn the human one to replace the one u have

#

but the ppl i told didnt like that idea

blazing condor

i wanna be able to cannibalize

I like racials don't get me wrong but it do feel bad when you are just worse in this xpac by not being a dorf

blazing condor

what he said

its a bit imbalanced

exaclty my idea literally mean u can play what u want

please don't do 20's in defensive stance and using sporecloak

actually tbh please don't use sporecloak at all

blazing condor

maybe he only has 20% vers when you need at least 25

jagged pier

or use def stance at all

chilly brook

in a 20?

not a bad place to get into the habit of it

then again I didn't swap at all in that VP lol

I still want to know why you need 4 of these damn things to get an enchanted crest but like 3 of the others

because youll grind your crests

is max crafted gear still expensive

or is it too late into the patch now

#

what yall paying for a max shield

chilly brook
#

not very expensive

#

but I suppose that's relative

chilly brook
#

so like 9k in mats for the crest

#

so give or take 12k

blazing condor
#

that aint too bad

#

i only got 70k on me so i cant be splurging

#

used to make money mining but now serverite ore is like 50s ea

shield would be like 15kish total cost including crest @blazing condor

Good morning -why is Mark of Dargrul so popular with Prot Warriors?

jagged pier
#

because its the best trinket u can get from m+

steep condor
#

What makes it so good?

jagged pier
#

gives a good stat and does very good damage

steep condor
#

I thought we are str haste vers and it's a crit trinket hence my confusion.

jagged pier

nope

str> haste > crit >= vers

oh i didn't realise! Thanks 🙂

i mean its in the pins

The pins are an underutilized and beautiful place to look for most people in class servers

Mark is popular because you can get it from dungeons, but raid trinkets are better

Myth track doesn’t actually drop from dungeons just from vault ye?

I should know this but

No

Crests are the item to upgrade the X track gear

Here’s a more raid focused reference @blazing condor

strong forum

Champion track is normal raid
Hero track is hc raid
Myth track is mythic raid

blazing condor

sry ill read up on it

chilly brook
#

It’s a bit confusing at first

blazing condor
#

i dont get what a "track" actually means

chilly brook
#

Nah you’re good it’s legit confusing

chilly brook
#

Hero track for example is like 42x-441

#

Which is heroic raid

blazing condor
#

hm okay

chilly brook
#

Myth is 441-447

#

And you use the crests to upgrade within the tracks

blazing condor
#

hm i see

chilly brook
#

Good system, a little difficult to understand at first but generally good and some of the changes are looking good for next season

blazing condor
#

thanks for clarifying

warm plinth

I made this fella too

chilly brook

I was just going to look for a graph

blazing condor

i dont remember the numbers on our s1 tier set 4p but yall think its worth dropping 4p for a 20 ilvl upgrade

warm plinth
#

yes

blazing condor
#

probably right

#

cus its just IP

chilly brook

One more key and I’ll have a nice upgrade but I think I’ll put that off for tomorrow

On charges

jagged pier

the best use of SB it basically keep one charge till the other falls off

just make sure u keep it rolling on cd

Good question, I want to gear up some alts so they can run m+ right away. Or maybe it does not matter that much?

gear that comes from BoA tokens is upgradeable to 424

the dreamsurge gear is 1/8 upgraded at 415

hardy snow

there are two types of gear - one from tokens that you can send to alt (each costs 100) and 415 gear is bought from vendor for special currency and gear is soulbound

but I dont know limitations for currency for this 2nd type of gear

only better shield comes from Echo of Neltharion on mythic, due to its increased ilvl, until then molten defender is great okayge

also curious what is considered good dps now

#

for m+

hardy snow
#

100k+, but it heavily depends on dungeon

south zealot
#

as you pull bigger and get better at the game u will do more and more

blazing condor
#

ok

#

and for dps classes

#

not talkign about pwarr

strong forum
#

170k-300k depending on dungeon?

#

ish

lusty grotto
#

it depends on key level

#

dungeon

#

and if aug is present or not

#

you can time a 23 with people doing 135k dps

#

if you want a specific number

#

its complicated

#

especially in dungeons like VP or w/e

blazing condor
#

yeah not looking for hardcore stats

#

just ballpark figures

#

cus im curious

#

but thanks : )

lusty grotto
#

without augs you want more than 110k dps

#

id say around that ballpark makes 20s timeable

#

that's 20

#

not anything over it

#

and that's for your dps players

#

self dps, around 90 should be fine

#

both of those as a bare min to time

#

i dont have details numbers so its hard to say what that translates to in details with an aug

#

which is why i said its complicated

south zealot
#

for pug/lower keys its like 100-200k

lusty grotto
#

healer dps is amore complicated issue, because pugging and/or if your team is getting railed by eating fixates and random shit, or not interrupting it can go down

#

in general if a healer is doing less than 15k they are doing dogshit dps

#

anyone doing 5k or less is absolutely trash

#

so take it with a grain of salt, because a lot of things can factor in

#

id say those are really really really really bare minimums

#

without an aug

#

on average 22s or higher you want around 30k dps

blazing condor
#

Nah 90% of ppl under 15 keys do less than 100k

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

thats ok

blazing condor
#

Its fine

lusty grotto
#

i just listed those at the 20 mark

blazing condor
#

I gotta grind my rio back now so im going thru lower keys

lusty grotto
#

it goes up or down as required ot time

#

depending on the kye level

Helped a 4 man from tyrelion do their first FH
