i wouldnt want to give my ui to any one yet the other day my RL said it was very clear and easy to see things

I was like this til I got the nameplate ones that Darkmech uses

#

Small and looks neat tbh

#

So I was curious on for huge pulls for Fueled by Violence vs Brutal Vitality.

I was doing the pole pull in FH by 2nd boss and noticed that IP healed me for 5m total on that pull, with Brutal Vitality. But on the same pull my Deep Wounds dmged for 4.6m in it self. Do you think it would be a good idea to take Fueld by Violence for mass aoe dungeons in high keys? where your IP just insta gets eaten and you cant really add to it?

south zealot
#

they are interchangeable

strong forum
#

the difference between the 2 is negligble

#

1 makes HP bar go slightly faster up
1 make HP bar go slightly slower down

south zealot
#

i personally think brv is a bit better because mitigating damage is slightly better than healing damage after the fact

#

but it wont make or break a key

grand veldt
#

AM I DOING IT RIGHT?

strong forum
#

looks decent

cosmic wyvern
#

this actually makes me sad

jaunty canopy
# strong forum the difference between the 2 is negligble

I was just looking at how I had 50% IP uptime roughly, I trasnlated that into 5% of my dmg being leeched into shield, and on that pull it would be around 1,750,000. So I would loose that much but gain 5,060,000, or a net gain of 3,310,000, roughly 24% more sustain. Seems like its pretty significant in a few situations.

strong forum
#

youre not always gonna get 100% of the dmg deep wounds does as healing

#

when youre full HP it doesnt trigger the heal

#

and 50% IP uptime is really low

#

its not an amazing comparison as its 1 keylevel difference and different healers

#

mh yeah okay they also play different talent builds

#

so plka just has infinitely less IP casts

cosmic wyvern
#

so about the stances, if I'm doing a high-ish key, should I always be in defensive or still use defensive only for emergencies

strong forum
#

in proper high keys, youre better off primarily sitting in d-stance on trash and on bosses switch to b-stance

#

but ideally you stance dance

jaunty canopy
#

Yeah I thought of that after i posted, I wouldnt get full value when im full hp but I feel like I would get a lot on a pull that size, about 20 or so mobs in freehold by the pole

As far as the IP uptime, I was spamming it, I was just taking a lot of dmg. Looks like I wasted some blood surge rage when I got stunned ( cuz im bad lol) like 2 IP casts worth but I dont think 2 IP casts would make a huge change on the uptime for IP for that pull. I think it was just getting removed pretty fast from the dmg intake?

strong forum
#

like i said theyre interchangable

#

they both scale the same way with pull size

#

its just that BrV is way better on low target counts

#

also FbV can steal healing from Indomitable and Leech

#

essentially causing you to "overheal" and waste potential healing

#

youll gain an extra bar from FbV but in turn your Indomitable and Leech bar will be smaller in return

#

effectively potentially gaining you nothing in the end

#

as you can see in the first pull of this NL in the logs above

#

but 1 log isnt enough evidence for statistical analysis

#

its alot of IFs and BUTs between the 2 talents

#

@strong forum fair enough! Yeah there is a lot to think about. Thanks for dealing with me :p

arctic marten
#

When I have Violent Outbust available, but Thunder Clap is on cooldown, and Shield Slam is available, is there a target count at which I wait for Thunder Clap, or do I always just cast Shield Slam?

lusty grotto
#

i think around 7 or more

#

you use on TC

#

more if you have last stand recently up

warm plinth
#

I wouldn't wait for TC though tbh. Because that means you're holding Shield Slam.

lusty grotto
#

yea

inland raft
#

Pretty much just always prio ss for outburst, while there are cases tc would pull ahead its rare enough to just not think about it

Does final boss take extra damage on neltharus when stunned? I donโ€™t see a debuff but thought he did

ya she does take more dmg

Do we have a % extra damage taken?

i think those are them

No that's the stacking debuff applied to players during the shield

I wonder if we can spell reflect every lord waycrest now w/ it only being 20 sec now

#

It was pretty close already iirc

sudden sable
warm plinth
#

A lot of the shitty things in Waycrest are able to be backpedaled

#

the captain/guard abilities can both be backpedaled

sudden sable
#

Oh yeah. I was doing that as I was moving thru the hall.

#

I'm kinda concerned about the etch cast not being kickable anymode

#

I expect Blizz is implementing that in an attempt to limit pull sizes in the mdi setting

warm plinth
#

That shit huuuurts

sudden sable
#

Yuh

sick sentinel
#

wait that could be season one

I guess you don't fight a ton of witches anayway though

They appear in some halls too I think. Maybe my pathing was poor though. Was just free balling it straight to witches and going shortest path

Ez report though selling keys for gold in trade chat is allowed

yeah

i did

Using the dungeon tool is not

lusty grotto

i insta report anything that says wts

#

those guys have less io than my paladin lmao

damn that's 125k, too

#

people would really pay 125k gold for that?

that's wild

125k is like

#

wait, its not going well

#

dirt cheap

lusty grotto
#

cause they just reposted lol

pallid quiver
#

That's my entire wallet, Ghash ;-;

inland raft
#

Idk what a decent price is this season

lusty grotto
#

its funny cause these arent lvl 1 posters

#

its literally a 2700 io player posting that

#

LMAO

#

how stupid can you fucking be

#

his 4 man group is in it too

waxen frigate
#

ask if they guarantee timed

pallid quiver
#

hold on let me log on and help report, too

lusty grotto
#

nah i reported so i cant see them anymore

inland raft
#

I mean its 15-17 range

warm plinth
#

tbf they are probably just gonna get silenced

lusty grotto
#

well they gon learn today

inland raft
#

2700 ip players should easily carry it, the issue is why they think its smart to try abusing the tool

lusty grotto
#

their io isnt the issue

#

is the fact that i can see that its their players in it

#

just make a lvl 1 saying that

#

dont be an idiot

#

(youre still gonna get reported by me)

sick sentinel
#

So I'm 441.25 ilvl. 30 Crit, 36 Haste (42 with Fray), 12 Mastery, and 19 Vers. I'm assuming I dump Haste, then Vers? Dumping Mastery is no longer much of an option due to which slots have 447 ilvl pieces, so it's those two and Crit.

inland raft
#

My guess is a group who just decided out of the blue to sell and dont know the rules, theyll learn fast

inland raft
#

Id get on to report too but already shut down pc

lusty grotto
#

read my nickname

sick sentinel
#

So never

#

Makes sense

#

So dump Vers

lusty grotto
#

sure

inland raft
#

If you want

lusty grotto
#

well hes trying to replace a piece so

pallid quiver

I'd just sim your gear to see what gives you the most DPS

#

yeah i agree with luerce

sick sentinel
#

Makes sense, thanks y'all

cosmic wyvern
#

I've been trying to follow you guys' advice and work on my rage generation/defensive management and I installed a weakaura that shows all the important stuff but I feel like I'm now paying too much attention to my rage and shit

#

like it's kinda hard to pay attention to that and also the enemies/hazards/attacks/etc

lusty grotto
#

dont install any weakaura

#

get one that is easy to use your peripherals on

#

err peripheral vision

cosmic wyvern
#

yeah thats what I did, I just have to keep fine tuning its positioning on my screen lol

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

just sit on a dummy or do keys until you get used to not looking at it

#

and you train your brain to just rely on its peripheral vision

#

rage bar should be ideally below your character

Which isn't bad - it will get better once you get more used to it.

cosmic wyvern

I'm not even new, I've been playing prot for a good while ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

but I just learned that apparently I need to work on my rage management

cerulean tusk
#

Called out by a Valkyrie critcake

ionic fern
#

What's the harm in paying attention to it then? ๐Ÿ‘€
If that's your goal..that's how you learn.

#

Maybe you will pay more attention to it for a while.

lusty grotto
#

well loss of situational awareness

ionic fern
#

But it'll become second nature.

lusty grotto
#

im guessing they are scared of losing it

cosmic wyvern
#

this is what I'm working with rn

lusty grotto
#

holy shit is that khakan's

cerulean tusk
#

Oh my, that is messy

cosmic wyvern
#

idk it might be

lusty grotto
#

khakan's wa used to look like that

#

i used it for a good while

cosmic wyvern
#

i think it is let me check

#

yea

lusty grotto
#

until i swapped to nome when i resubbed in SL S4

cosmic wyvern
#

I never used to use a weakaura, this is the first time

#

I've kinda been playing by glancing down at my bars and using muscle memory

#

unfortunately I guess I learned the wrong muscle memory so I have to unlearn it idk

lusty grotto
#

first time for everything

cerulean tusk
#

Ya will improve with time for sure

lusty grotto
#

dont worry, it doesnt take long to retrain muscle memory

cerulean tusk
lusty grotto
#

or at least not as long as people think it does (myself included)

cosmic wyvern
#

I think the biggest thing is that I kinda trained myself to instinctively press ignore pain between like every other gcd

lusty grotto
#

ah

#

well that'll be easy to retrain

cerulean tusk
#

Replace that with rampage, and you can't go wrong wicked

lusty grotto
#

easy as in, you need to play the game otherwise it wont happen lol

cosmic wyvern
#

like after every second shield slam I kinda instinctively go to shift+3 without realizing it

I need to drink my coffee yep yep

Actual smart

cosmic wyvern

so I just end up rage starved in too many situations

#

what was that wa you said you use? this one is nice but its a bit cluttered

#

and worst of all, asymmetrical

lusty grotto
#

Nome's, one of the mods here

#

uhh

#

there are a lot more though

#

like afenar's and luxthos, i imagine quazii also has one

#

similar to nome's actually

ionic fern
#

Sense's.

lusty grotto
#

err thats a link for the entire ui

#

i was referring to the weakaura

#

Hijacks good imo

candid niche
#

You can Frankenstein something together. Like take the bits you like and bin the rest

sick sentinel
#

Khakans is what I use now, best to make own tho

cosmic wyvern
#

hijack has some warnings on wago that dont look too good

sick sentinel
#

Hijacks is fine

lusty grotto
#

these weakauras are mostly preference

#

so whatever you think does best for you

sick sentinel
#

The lua errors shown as warnings are just cause the code has "Hijack" in it

lusty grotto
#

but yeah go with what khendron said if you dont feel like any of them are good

#

like start with a decent rage bar

#

and a shield block tracker

#

instead of a complete suite

cosmic wyvern
#

nah honestly khakans is fine

#

I just need to get used to it

lusty grotto
#

well thre you go

#

just a heads up though, sometimes khakhan's doesnt update his

#

thats why i moved away from it after i quit in SL

candid niche
#

Does luxthos still do his WA's ?

lusty grotto
#

he does

#

i use his paladin one for ret

candid niche
#

They were alright last time I checked

lusty grotto
#

yeah they are great

#

afenar's too

candid niche
#

Atleast as a starting point, when you get more comfortable with the spec you'll prolly find there's a lot of stuff you don't need

lusty grotto

#

Or maybe im just lazy with my play ๐Ÿ˜›

pallid quiver
# cosmic wyvern like it's kinda hard to pay attention to that and also the enemies/hazards/attac...

I'm a bit late, but like Mwahi said, you'll want to focus on your rage at first. When learning something, or improving an aspect of your play, it's expected that other parts of your gameplay will suffer. Overall, your immediate performance should even feel and actually be worse off since you're focusing on that one aspect. As you improve, you reintegrate it back into the rest of your skill set, and ease back in, making you play a skill level higher than you did before. It's like a zig-zag on the skill chart.

Khakhans fury + prot nice I like much

#

Any1 know what this means when trying to move realms?
Nothing really happens?

lusty grotto
#

think its pretty self explanatory

tender cove
#

Well, i just did faction change before. So not sure if thats preventing it or if its actually moving but not just giving an icon for it?

It can take a while before the transfer is complete.

#

well

#

idk about a region change

tender cove
lusty grotto
#

i meant for server xfer and faction xfer

#

idk about region changes

ionic fern
#

You don't need a whole new battle.net account afaik.
You just can't transfer your EU characters etc.

tender cove
#

Example, diablo 4 I can just switch whatever region I want by selecting it in battle.net client login page but nothing like that for wow?

ionic fern
#

You can swap your region in the bnet launcher for WoW, but it will come with new servers and gotta create a new character etc.

tender cove
ionic fern
#

It's still the same b.net account.

#

Idk about Achies.

#

You gotta try it. ๐Ÿ™‚

tender cove
#

"Game progress is not shared across accounts and regions"

ionic fern
#

Guess that answers your question then.

tender cove
#

yeh, cba with that.

#

Any fun changes to prot while I was gone?

lusty grotto
#

why do you want to region change if you dont mind me asking

#

moving abroad?

tender cove
# lusty grotto moving abroad?

After my mom passed away, I had a rough period and long story short. I decided to leave europe and start over. So moved to mexico.

I honestly subbed wow when the great push was streaming. Always get so excited and boy what a show it was this season.

But wasn't until tonight that I actually started fixing ui, moving chars etc ๐Ÿ˜„

#

How do i even toggle latency in wow? Is there such a thing or i've always had some addon for it?

lusty grotto
#

an addon probably

#

im not sure how it looks on default ui now, but it used to be a bar thingie

#

elvui shows it as is

#

on the data bars

tender cove
lusty grotto
#

do you use elvui?

tender cove
#

yes

lusty grotto
warm plinth
tender cove
#

but for some reason, have none of the bottom menu icons

make sure its enabled

#

uhh i have no bottom menu icons with elvui

warm plinth
#

Bottom menu icons?

lusty grotto
#

i think those can get enabled somehow but they are off by default

tender cove
#

Found it

Hey folks, how do you manage CDs in raid?
I was thinking about using a similar approach to viserios healing cd sheet but for tank stuff and put my cd rotation there + externals I need to ask for. And use the mrt WA for it.

Anyone else does that or have a better suggestion? My guild wants to climb ranks and Iโ€™m new to tanking so want to make sure my prep is good and weโ€™re not wiping because of a paper tank ๐Ÿคฃ

jagged pier

i mean its easy tank buster use a cd

pallid quiver

^^^

If damage gonna come in, press CD

If damage not come in, play as usual

#

if u die

#

check hp

not max hp ask to be healed before it

if u were

ask for external

u can assign them, but using externals if sort of a fluid thing

imo

if your mwahis guild

just dont heal tanks

@ionic fern hi ily

ionic fern
#

Hi, ily.

waxen frigate
#

(Idk if you can do that)

sick sentinel
#

i still think human "will to survive" remove stun is in contention with being as good as dwarf "stone-form" remove everything but curse or no debuff type

#

if you get stunned inside of a fire, probably playing wrong anyways, but then you don't have to suffer through 7seconds of have to sit there and watch and prayge not to die

#

example of it even being dps increase, in tol dagor vs howliss, when the phase changes, you can hit will to survive and start attacking him early

sick sentinel
#

i still think its easily as handy, but like, that's just my opinion or whatever man

#

stun for 8 seconds as dps >> targeted with wcm tree boss lightning/fire

#

have to eat 8 second stun

#

die

#

KEY DEPLETES

ionic fern
#

There's a very significant flaw in your logic.
Encounters/mechanics are not designed to stun the tank, while bleeds/dots are designed on tanks.
Majority of stuns are EASILY avoidable - if you get hit by them you are simply just playing very-very-very poorly.

sick sentinel
#

i think i'd mostly want it as dps, but i can see your point

#

not to mention that less than a handful of stuns exist in pve

mage for sure i know can remove magic

pallid quiver
#

Mages decurse

sick sentinel
#

for bleeds, okay, thats fair about tanks

#

?if you want it?

waxen frigate
sick sentinel
#

i dont see issue of it being "required"

#

they used to be able to

#

mages dispel magic

#

cuz they are one of few that can remove curse

waxen frigate
#

Curses and magic are very different

sick sentinel
#

i think its also druid can remove curse

waxen frigate
#

Yes

#

And I think maybe shamans?

sick sentinel
#

right, well i was pretty sure that mages can just dispell magic

waxen frigate
#

Butโ€”only warlocks can dispel magic as Dps

pallid quiver
waxen frigate
#

And thatโ€™s only with a specific pet that is a big Dps loss

pallid quiver
#

you can sac it and imp isn't that major of a dps loss last I had checked

#

especially if there's a lot of target swapping that the downtime would cause inc/suc to lose uptime on

waxen frigate
#

Idk every warlock acted like it was the end of the world when they had to spec magic dispel in the pandaria dungeon last tier

sick sentinel
#

oh, i dunno, i feel like dwarf is cheesy racial for tank

waxen frigate
#

Dwarf is bis for M+ plain and simple

#

Unless there are night elf skips

#

Which hasnโ€™t been very relevant since s3 shadowlands

#

And even then you need a full nelf group or people who can invis

sick sentinel
#

i mean invis pots are what

#

maytbe 20 g each

#

maybe 50

#

and then even then you use it 1 time per dungeon unless something went horribly wrong with skip

pallid quiver
#

I'd wager those warlocks were complaining because they had minimal idea as to what actually goes into their DPS like most players, but the difference could have widened I guess since I last checked

#

and if they're using sac then there's just no excuse

#

Though only Aff uses Sac atm last I checked

#

and even then, you don't always need to sac

waxen frigate
#

Also coordinating invis in pugs sucks

#

Plus if someone dies and canโ€™t be rezzed for whatever reason then you have to kill the mob anyway

#

Some mobs also have true sight

lusty tiger
#

warlock pet

#

consume magic

pallid quiver
#

consume magic's the Felhunter purge iirc; imp's dispel is singe magic

lusty tiger
#

o ye

#

that1

sick sentinel
#

maybe its mage can do offensive magic dispell on enemy

#

or could at some point

#

cuz, i know they have/had amp/damp magic

Specifically weโ€™re talking about defensive magic cleanse

#

Which is priest mass dispel and warlock imp

lusty tiger
waxen frigate
#

The conversation was originally about defensive dispels

#

Yogi was just confused

#

Bc he thought mages could do that

sick sentinel
#

i really am the pepega gamer

lusty tiger

shy ledge
#

Are engineering bracers worth making just to have all haste as the only stat?

sick sentinel
#

probably, its what i did,

dusky canopy
#

Donโ€™t use the Brez very often but it has saved a few keys where the only brez class is who dies

karmic plinth
#

generally theyre worth it but sim yourself if you want to check

proper roost
#

no matter how many times you tell him, yogi will never internalize that mages have never had the ability to remove magic debuffs

lusty tiger
#

curses!

#

nome playing cyberpunk??

sick sentinel
#

i say bs, whatever

lusty grotto
#

they dont count as an embelishment

proper roost
#

literally no matter how many times

#

think it's been explained like 4 or 5 times just since i was here

idle quartz
#

Plus, I get myself killed tryna be the hero sometimes, lol

proper roost
#

having single stat is almost always worse because of stat DRs and stats scaling multiplicatively with each other

lusty grotto
#

haste has a big defensive value

#

which isnt simmable

idle quartz
#

Way past 30%

theres a hint already presented here

lusty grotto

and ricky of course

# dusky canopy

fh is exodia's heaven tbh, the pulls u do there you cannot do with melee

#

there is 1 pull that gives you literally 20% and everyone just stands in a safe spot

south zealot
#

u have to be 100% focused on exactly where youre moving the entire pull which is rlly cringe

grim pilot
#

yeah also pulling 15 crushers and some other shit is cringe

#

that's why I don't like fh

it's so much better as a ranged

Dream surges are great, esp for getting tier

you can only do lfr weekly anyway

Hello! I was wondering, how useful is getting spellblock for Mythic Zskarn? Does it help survive damage from the stacking tank DoT? It doesn't say so on the spreadsheet but I see some people are still using the talent for the boss

jagged pier
#

it does nothing

#

it wont help u

night heron
#

Alright haha that's crystal clear

#

thanks

lusty grotto

they probably forgot to swap it out

or are too lazy to do so, i know i could fit into this one

gloomy vortex
#

First day on mythic Zskarn yesterday and my word itโ€™s worse that Rashok

jagged pier
#

well yes

#

because rashok is a joke

#

and literally cant kill u

gloomy vortex
#

Any tricks to Zskarn as a warrior?

jagged pier
#

hope your healer doesnt die

gloomy vortex
#

Iโ€™m trying to rotate CDโ€™s as much as poss and spam SR

#

I had 5 seconds where I had no heals and I asked why I was getting heals

#

They did not like that

#

With like 15 stacks

lusty grotto
#

why were you at 15 stacks

#

that screams your other tank isnt swapping when he should

gloomy vortex
#

What we aiming for 10 stacks?

lusty grotto
#

asap their stacks fades

#

but 15 seems excessive

mighty valley
#

have you got an auto attack slow on the boss

#

rogue poison, warlock curse

lusty grotto
#

we dont really "aim" for stacks

#

theres no magical number

#

your stack drops, you taunt

gloomy vortex
#

We have warlock curse

#

BDK too but without chill

lusty grotto
#

i think on average you shouldn't go past 11/12

#

if you are, then something is going wrong with swaps

jagged pier
#

like max 12

#

u should reach

plush tendon
#

for Zskern, BDK can go to any stack number they want

daring marlin
plush tendon
#

basically take whatever stack number hurts on a warrior and multiply it by 5 and that is probably when the DK should think about tank swap

dusky canopy
#

Wow DK OP

#

Nerfs when??

plush tendon
#

In fact, a DK wants to stay on top of the boss as much as possible; having to run out and get bombs is a death sentence; dont really have great mitigation tools for it and cant easily get their health back since nothing to hit

#

as long as you can death strike, life is good

plush tendon
jagged pier
#

monk also OP

plush tendon
#

but if you are on Zskern as a War with BDK co-tank, lean on the DK to tank the boss for the majority of the time while you focus on getting bombs

#

after bombs, take the boss for a bit so the DK can reset stacks, and rinse and repeat

#

itll make the DKs life easier cause moving to get far off bombs is a pain for them (and quite dangerous) and it makes your life easier since you arent trying to go one for one on stack # with a DK

jagged pier
#

zksarn is easy for movement now tho

#

the knock back is timed with when u have to move
