Ye ditto. I just play fury most the time. Its brainless but feels smooth at least

unkempt palm
#

I forgot to check on ptr after the key to see rage generation but is bloodsurge less value with the tier set consuming the bleeds now?

warm plinth
#

No, you basically reapply the bleeds right away, and you're only consuming them on one target.

unkempt palm
#

Ok so still pretty useful then because we can insta put them back out huh?

strong forum
#

its just 1 target

#

and yes

#

deep wounds gets insta applied by devastator

#

and you get the TC reset, so rend gets reapplied aswell

unkempt palm
#

Btw idk if they’ll tune the tier set some more but it was my top damage in a 20 WCM in perma D stance lol

#

@strong forum gotcha

strong forum
#

for me it was nowhere near top dmg in my solo run

#

TC actually was

#

surprisingly

#

which usually never is for me

unkempt palm
#

102k overall too

strong forum
#

yeah 102k is low

#

you can do some nasty pulls in WCM

chilly brook
#

tf is fervid bite

strong forum
#

tierset

#

judging by this

#

tierset did ~13k dps

#

which is expected value hmm

chilly brook
#

Nom I'm bad 😦

strong forum
#

i dont have any more points of comparison tho

#

so i cant honestly say how dmg breakdown should look like

#

or "how bad or good" 102k is

#

but it does seem low

unkempt palm
jagged gust
#

Is that a holy priest pulling 22k? Hot damn

chilly brook
#

does ptr have upgraded ilvl?

lusty grotto
#

they can do 30k easily in 20s in live

chilly brook
#

Then again that was a 20 VP

lusty grotto
#

ah

#

well that makes more sense

chilly brook
#

so I'll take 92k no WFT/aug at 439

lusty grotto
#

for some reason i thought that was from a ptr key

unkempt palm
#

Yeah I wasn’t trying to flex my overall damage in my key lol I play mostly paladin I was just pressing buttons on prot war and surprised to see how much tier set did overall

strong forum
#

yeah it does look very big on meter

chilly brook
#

I don't do ptr stuff

#

can't be bothered

strong forum
#

but we also lost ~20% shield slam damage

#

actually

#

i think spellblock is not even necessary in WCM anymore

#

because the magic frontals that used to fuck you up in BFA

#

are now sidesteppable

#

and nothing else does magic dmg in there provided you kick

lusty grotto
#

well

#

the mobs after lord and lady do magic dmg when they leap

#

iirc

strong forum
#

yeah but tanks were usually fine to eat it with tech

#

and they jump between the furthest targets

#

they also jump behind you iirc

#

so

#

i dunno if you can block it

lusty grotto
#

hmm

#

its been a while

sick sentinel
#

I found a new way to fail at lair

lusty grotto
#

kinda feels like it is blockable, so it may not be magic after all

#

idk

sick sentinel
strong forum
#

all we need is a log

#

their leap is magic dmg

#

but it only hits for 100k on a 20 rn

sick sentinel
#

we still timed that key but i never seen fail by that method so far

lusty grotto
#

im trying to remember

strong forum
#

no need to remember

lusty grotto
#

i know the mini bosses downstairs used to be a pain if not shrouded past

strong forum
#

it was generally fine?

#

just a time safe

lusty grotto
#

yea

strong forum
#

and they might have changed count

#

so that the matrons are worth more now

lusty grotto
#

well with all doors opened

#

you can just make up % elsewhere

#

a lot more options

strong forum
#

yeah but what if its more efficient

#

to do a bigger pull down there with a matron

lusty grotto
#

right

strong forum
#

ykno

#

cuz if you know how to do your kicks there

#

and reflect on matron

#

pwar can just reflect this decaying touch

#

ykno

lusty grotto
#

yea

sick sentinel
#

keep this in mind for pulling basemeent wcm

strong forum
#

yeah

#

left side is the bad one

#

you wanna go down in the kitchen

right side you can play

and since route is static now

the huge problem with that key is the extremely obvious invulnerable witches at her purple candles

Our new 2Set seems a tad overtuned, huh? 788k Non-crit from raid testing today.

Over 1/3 of all dmg on one pull

lusty grotto

lusty grotto
#

are you gemming all versa?

opaque quest
#

E X P O S E D

lusty grotto
#

because we saw this exact same case yesterday

#

with non-realistic gearing

grim pilot
lusty grotto
#

if you have an upscaled icon + OCE (chromatic essence, not oceanic), then you're yielding unrealistic numbers

main locust
#

Nope, just live gear, med new 2set and Best friend trinket. 19% vers

opaque quest
#

Imagine not geming full vers gems everywhere. THrowing

lusty grotto
#

because you wont be able to get an upscaled OCE OR icon in live

#

ok link a log

well at least hes using beacon so

@strong forum

Full versa gems

#

lmao

#

Even mainstat versa diamond lmfao

main locust
#

Are you trolling? 5 of my gems er haste gems, only 2 are versa/haste and so what?

#

Are versa gems removed in Season 3 or what?

opaque quest
#

Yes. WE are trolling

lusty grotto
#

the log doesnt lie

main locust
#

You mind linking your armory?

lusty grotto
#

what for? you are free to look for it

opaque quest
#

Classic. Gets called out for shit. i BeT yOu HaVe No iO

sick sentinel
#

its fine, we all make mistakes

lusty grotto
#

pip is kind of overtuned

#

so lets say pip procs versa

#

and you are a full versa andy

#

it will contribute to the tier

#

realistically, we dont really go full versa

#

2 things will happen

#

pip will get balanced, whether now or later, wont matter

#

its way too fucking strong atm

#

and/or the other trinkets will get buffed

#

and its quite possible the versa scaling of the tier will be looked at

#

on a standard haste/crit build it should do around the same amount of damage of SS

#

the tier itself is not the problem

main locust
#

Calling me a "full versa andy" when versa accounts for less than 30% of my stat budget is insanity tho

daring marlin
main locust
#

3/9, I guess that says enough

daring marlin
#

that in and of itself shows that he isn't using double vers trinkets

strong forum
#

this is kinda wild

lusty grotto
#

have fun there nome

strong forum
#

that fervid bite is this hard with vers

#

i think it double dips

lusty grotto
main locust
#

Pip only gives Versa 1/3 of the time and it was heavily scaled down on raidtesting

#

Also why wouldn't you potentially just use Pip on live? If it's so broken

lusty grotto
#

well you would

#

if it goes out like that

strong forum
#

i legit think

#

tierset dobule dips with vers

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

thats kind of what im thinking

strong forum
#

the initial bleed amped by bloodborne and vers

#

then consumption of bleed into fervid bite

#

again amped by vers

lusty grotto
#

right thats why i mentioned the versa scaling of the tier

#

but again, blizzard is blizzard so it might not even get looked at

#

im pretty sure it will though

main locust
#

It's still wild you're trashing me for using a couple of vers gems, like you're assuming I'm exploiting some bug on ptr on purpsoe

lusty grotto
#

if brew tier needs a check, they will probably check the others

lusty grotto
#

can you calm the fuck down felicia?

#

now i am

strong forum
#

we're not trashing anybody

just thinking out loud?

main locust

Not you, but Nimchip and his buddy Roach definitely were

opaque quest
#

What

#

Youre gemming unrealistic shit then shout how big something is

#

No shit you are under unrealistic conditions no wonder its big

main locust

I still don't understand how gemming vers is unrealistic

holy shit this is dumb

unrealistic

nobody is trashing you, once again

cant say the same for you asking for armory links but it is what it is

daring marlin
#

nobody was trashing you

#

why are you playing stupid?

main locust
#

I was curious what you were gemming since having some vers apperantly is unacceptable

opaque quest
#

"some"

lusty grotto
#

we dont really gem versa in live

#

some versa is fine for sure

daring marlin
#

You certainly don't and there are plenty of people that do.

#

People that do keys at your level and higher.

? ? ?

The weird anti vers crusade is pretty boring

who pooped in your cereal today guilford

daring marlin

You were both being dickheads to the dude because he was like "woah" at the tier set.

#

like lmao

#

"well clearly you're just gearing wrong ergo doing more damage!!!!"

#

"well ackshually that's not realistic live!!!"

lusty grotto
#

the only reason i said that is because we had an extreme case yesterday

main locust

I don't do m+ anymore, only raidlog. Currentlyy #3 Prot Warr in the world on logs with 3 #1 Logs. I'm not gemming versa for fun, it's what sims highest for me atm.

Im probably biased because i played sham and zoom zoom in wolf

pallid quiver

Anything that involves someone being able to actively kill me sucks

Because people will do their damndest to do so

Especially if I'm playing a healer

opaque quest
#

Still your skill issue as a heal

#

Simply because youre heal

pallid quiver
#

i never want to heal

#

i get shouted at to heal

So I just stop playing the game instead

and then people ask me why i don't play

opaque quest
#

I hate healing too but i want dice

pallid quiver

There's a ton of games I want to play, so if people will only play with me when I'm doing something I don't want to do

for some reason, I don't play with them

WoW players are some wild people

opaque quest
#

Oh ye true. Responsibility is a problem

strong forum
#

okay i just did a scuffed test

#

with full vers gear vs my normal gear but being higher lvl ontop of that

#

and its like 7k less dps

lusty grotto
#

try with pip

strong forum
#

i am playing with pip

lusty grotto
#

hmm...

#

you think maybe an aug is kind of double buffing it maybe?

#

this last person had an aug on their test

#

idk about yesterday's dude, i'd imagine so if they were testing raids

strong forum
#

now it was equal dps

#

but i played OMEGA around tierset

#

like if SS ready and you can pump IP to fish for TC reset

#

you send it

#

with this i got 50 procs in 4 minutes

lusty grotto
#

hmm

strong forum
#

with crit gear, dmg breakdown between fervid and SS is the same

#

but other sources are higher

#

and SS ofc aswell

#

with crit gear i got 41 procs in 3.5min

#

so i played a little bit worse

mortal dagger
#

how many refreshes u got?

hardy snow
#

can this tierset change stats prio in raid (ST) to haste/vers slightly above haste/crit?

pallid quiver
#

It's not currently looking like enough difference either way from what I've casually seen out of the corner of my eye

opaque quest
#

Even if. Aapparently fervid only becomes insane if you play around it and handicap yourself on rotation. Will probably still go haste crit

hardy snow
#

Well, if its strong enough, why not play around it then 🤷‍♂️

lusty grotto
#

nome is currently testing it out

#

cause it seemed like versa was double dipping but apparently its not? according to what he just said

lavish sphinx
#

Quick one on thundering. Healer marked me with a square which caused an Enh Shaman to think I had the positive thundering buff and try to clear it. I had the negative buff so we ended up wiping

opaque quest
lusty grotto
#

it also depends on total dps

#

which we havent seen

#

in playing around it vs playing as we play atm

opaque quest
#

Also we cant say for certain yet. 20% of our dmg is to much for a 4p and blizz will giga nerf the dmg of it

strong forum
#

no

#

even with that tierset

#

we're only competetive with other tanks

#

like

#

it doesnt make us OP

#

but also, crit rate of fervid bite is bugged

#

that shit basically doenst crit

#

thats why vers is so much better forit

opaque quest
#

Thats gonna be looked at tho. No way it stays like this. Stupid

#

God damn

strong forum
#

yeah obv

#

its the first iteration of the tierset

opaque quest
#

Im curious how BDK stacks up vs this bonus. 2p is basically the same 10% DR but 20% more dmg for everything on that target

strong forum

yes

low uptime on SB

you can use spell reflect + another cd

Upon taking damage that drops you below 50% health, you enter a "Rampaging State" for 8 seconds. During this time, your attacks gain 20% increased damage and have a 10% chance to reset the cooldown of your Heroic Leap, enabling you to leap into the heart of battle again. This effect has a 2-minute cooldown.

Hello
I was doing a key today and I'm pretty sure my spell reflect bugged out
On neltharion's lair 2nd boss, I precast spell reflect before the boss casts sunder, as usual. I was looking at my buff bar and my spell reflect still had 4 seconds left when I got hit
and it just didn't reflect, I took the full damage (which almost oneshot me btw, so yikes) and the SR icon did not change visual (like it usually does when you actually do reflect something). Is this bug something known?

strong forum
#

You got a log?

#

Cuz word of mouth isn't always the most accurate

shut summit
#

it is bugged

night heron
#

No I never log my keys :/

south zealot
#

i think that happened to nerf yesterday as well

strong forum
#

Oh interesting

south zealot
#

just went through reflect and he died

night heron
#

But I do push a lot of keys and I'm pretty sure it happened to me like 2 days ago for the first time

south zealot
#

though i dont know exactly when he hit reflect couldve been late

shut summit
night heron
#

This first time I thought I might have been late, but this time I'm almost 100% sure I wasn't

shut summit
#

reflect can just fizzle right now, ive seen it on 2nd boss and last boss in nelths lair personally

Yeah then it's exactly what happened to me

Thanks for the confirmation

thats strange

i dont really like the fact that you gotta proc rank 5 crafts most of the time

#

when i make a personal order and i want r5 but you gotta put it r4 then its just gambling

chilly brook
#

Agree

#

Crafting has been sick but the rank thing needs a rework

mighty valley
#

kinda had to be that way if they wanted crafting stats to matter

blazing condor
#

im all for more player v player interaction and dependency

#

but a lot of it comes down to the information given out by the crafter

chilly brook
#

“Yo bro I’ll guarantee r5 for 15k!”

blazing condor
#

and they can kinda say whatever

#

exactly

#

then "sry man gotta recraft just send me again no comission"

#

like ok now i gotta spend more money

chilly brook
#

Like tf you mean bro

#

I’m spending all the money on the mats

blazing condor

for sure i do wish there was more transparency

10k, sure, thats fine

cost me like 20k all in all for my shield

which was like 1/4 of the gold i have lol

sick sentinel
#

i think it was my legs or somethin

#

i had to do it 10 times

#

that was exspensive

chilly brook
#

But yeah the “free recraft if it doesn’t hit r5” is silly

#

“Oh so you’re gonna buy the mats?”

#

“No”

sick sentinel
#

if that conversation takes place the person saying no i will not buy the shit for you to work on my shit

#

is an idiot

blazing condor
#

heres money so you can press the one button to recraft it

#

you know so i can get the agreed upon item

#

im sure there's tons of people who are new/bad at the game and just dont understand it all

#

then agian those people probably make public orders

mighty valley
#

i don't really envy them trying to make a good crafting system, too many conflicting goals

#

there's a lot about this new system that would've fit well into a game more like classic tbh

blazing condor
#

yeah i dont think people longed for NOT having a more autmated, non-player interactive, system

but then again they needed a reason to make professions relevant again

Is instigate better than bloodsurge if you have windfury in your group?

In AOE, no, since there's a lot more overall procs from Bloodsurge in AOE. We already use it in ST if there's not conflicted talent choices, so that'd be handled in raid, too

# sick sentinel if current bm rotation is anything like bfa rotation

It's different but not super different. You basically only press Multi-Shot to enable Beast Cleave (every 6 seconds), and in between you use barbed shot to maintain frenzy, kill command as your primary damage, and cobra shot if you have nothing else to press to prevent overcapping.

#

In BFA you pressed a shitload of Multi-Shot because it reset your aspect of the wild

sick sentinel
#

yup, i also macro'd fucking everything

#

to be
/cast attackname
/cast petattack

#

and then won at dps with minimal effort

warm plinth
#

Yeah you still have to do that because blizzard default delays the pet abilities by like half a second for some reason

sick sentinel
#

i want to say it was sometihng like, the pets would just simply sit on an auto-cast ability for like 2-3 globals (typically the thing you want them to spam) and then spamming the tell them to attack could cause them to use attack instantly on reset

warm plinth
#

yep

that is still a thing, 2 expansions later yep

hunter is my best friend in all scenarios though

they are simply the best class to play along side

grand veldt

Idk if anyone ever has trouble hitting a target with impending victory espcially when theyre out of range or you're moving etc

I made a macro that will clear your current target, cast impending victory on the closest target to you and then return your target back to your previous target. Thought I'd share it

lusty grotto

its particularly useful for sanguine

but honestly, its more useful for out of keys content, since you really want to be hitting something always in keys

outside of sanguine and/or running out of aoes

good to have for those situations

sick sentinel
#

i asked gpt to replace 4 set bonus and this is what it says to do

warm plinth
#

Imagine if we had a 15 ppm 3 sec stun on all enemies keks

sick sentinel
#

Certainly! Based on the information you provided, here's a new 4-piece set bonus for Protection Warriors:

(4) Set Bonus: Warrior's Resurgence - When you use your Shield Slam to consume bleeds on a target, your defenses surge, reducing all damage taken by 5% for 10 seconds. During this time, every successful Shield Slam or Thunder Clap will grant you a stack of "Warrior's Resilience." Each stack of "Warrior's Resilience" further reduces the damage taken by 2%. This effect can stack up to 5 times, and its duration is refreshed with each successful Shield Slam or Thunder Clap. Additionally, after reaching 5 stacks of "Warrior's Resilience," your next Avatar or Shield Wall ability will have its cooldown reduced by 20%.

#

when i add the current talents to the conversation

warm plinth
#

👀

#

That'd be a sick bonus lol

sick sentinel
#

it came out with some hot takes, but its willing to take your text dumps if you dump in parts about talents or rotation

waxen frigate
#

is there a tl;dr on thunderlord because i know it isn't highly recommended but im just curious as to why since it seems like it would be good for the dps increase

south zealot
#

its actually a dps decrease over show of force

good for more defensive value if thats what you want

Both rav and roar is 90, shield charge 45

waxen frigate
#

what's the average uptime on thunderlord-talented shout tho

#

and/or how long are you potentially holding CDs

pallid quiver
#

It's generally not much of an increase due to the cap, iirc, over just standard use

I assume it'll be better with next tier giving more TCs

#

I don't know specific numbers, but generally it's not enough of an increase is what I remember

like you dont hit it during avatar, and half the time your auto will refresh shield slam in the middle of a gcd

blazing condor

you hit it a lot its like our only offensive rage spender

in dungeons its usually around 10 cpm

grand veldt

i find myself hitting it just to help get aggro on a new pack of mobs or only when my other 2 abilities are on CD

#

i just spam my rage into ignore pain at this point

it would def be nice if we had a stronger offensive rage spender

blazing condor
#

since IP is off the gcd you can do both

and you kinda have to if you wanna avoid capping rage sometimes

grand veldt

i mean i dont think hitting cap on rage matters if shield slam just does more damage

i could be wrong

never wanna cap rage always wanna spend it
