Also that rogue did a lot of damage despite being like perma floor pov

#

Hooooly

waxen frigate
#

And heres the breakdown

opaque quest
#

Exploding is just stupid

#

Snacked the picture so i can compare to mine later

waxen frigate
#

A VP will look very different

opaque quest
#

Ye but we gonna do bracken later for some IO

#

I just want it to rougly look the same

waxen frigate
#

This is a 25 VP but notably from back in July

opaque quest
#

I can already see that im not using enough sck

#

Oh its with pta

waxen frigate
#

Yea that one I was testing pta

#

That was the week the talent came out

#

But I don’t really like pta and it’s worse in general imo so I don’t play it

strong forum
#

Wdym you don't like losing 13% St dps?

waxen frigate
#

Like the ability is fine

#

I think some people use it for fair reasons

#

But you have subcreation andies who ruin it

#

Big 3% gain

#

👏

opaque quest
#

3% > 0% basic math

strong forum
#

3% if played perfectly

sick sentinel
#

if i played BRM it would probably be illegal talents again

#

so,

cinder nova
#

How much gain is it realistically

strong forum
#

Pta?

opaque quest
#

I cant stand how sck completely kills my screen cause i cant see shit

#

Dont think ill ever run pta

strong forum
#

Pretty much a loss from what im understanding

opaque quest
#

You also lose def i think

#

Cause less resets on brew

waxen frigate
opaque quest
#

Whats the defensive gain from PTA?

waxen frigate
#

Pta and woo are comparable defensively

#

Brew CDR

#

WoO is 10% mastery

#

During the 30sec buff

opaque quest
#

Ahhh PTA gives CDR too

#

Shouldve read the full talent

waxen frigate
#

WoO doesn’t give CDR

#

At all

#

Unless you’re counting the one extra keg smash

opaque quest
#

Fair. Thanks

#

Was to lazy to read all talents yet

waxen frigate
#

Pta is pretty close to WoO if played well in AOE. Obviously you need to pull around WoO windows for effective use though

#

So if you don’t do that pta is better as it’s gonna be more consistent

#

You also don’t have to worry about incorporating RSK as frequently early on in aoe

opaque quest
#

Thankfully i wont do anything above 23s so everything is a woo pull lol

waxen frigate
#

Well

#

If anything pull sizes often go up as key levels increase

#

To a certain point

#

Because you have to pull more in order to kill it faster or you won’t time the key

#

Pta is a straight large loss in ST though

#

But like

#

7-8k tank Dps in single target shouldn’t be breaking a key

#

Especially since it’s often a smaller gap than that due to not playing full ST talents so you don’t have BOC/FP tiger palms

#

In the context of M+ imo there’s not a wrong choice

#

It comes down to preference and comfort

opaque quest
#

Ive read online that PTA isnt as bad as ppl make it out to be. I just wanna be optimal lol

waxen frigate
#

Optimal is messing with both and playing which feels better to you

#

I didn’t like pta at all so I don’t play it

opaque quest
waxen frigate
#

I think even equinox (at some point) when I talked with him about pta said he thinks WoO is objectively better in some keys

#

But he doesn’t think it’s worth the effort for himself to change talents

#

Idk what you mean by kills your screen

opaque quest
#

Everything turns green

waxen frigate
#

🤔

opaque quest
#

Cant see shit

#

Its the same with defile on dk

waxen frigate
#

Uhhh

#

SCK shouldn’t be doing that lol

#

It’s like a green ring not a closed circle of green

#

Much closer in appearance to dnd than defile

opaque quest
#

Ye ye but in combination with rjw it becomes a provblem for me

#

Its a me problem

waxen frigate
#

Hmmge

#

Idk

#

You really don’t change the amount of spinning by playing pta

opaque quest
#

Wont i spin instead of pressing tp?

waxen frigate
#

You could try SD instead of RJW

#

There’s an argument that spinning in ST is worse than just auto attacking with pta

opaque quest
#

God damn

waxen frigate
#

But I haven’t seen anything to support it being a significant difference

opaque quest
#

Ill give that a shot later. Sounds good

waxen frigate
#

It does eat your RSK stacks though

opaque quest
#

SD is special delivery?

waxen frigate
#

And spinning in aoe doesn’t change at all

waxen frigate
#

It’s usually a loss vs RJW

#

Especially because you lose resonant fists procs

opaque quest
#

Does RJW procc fists?

waxen frigate
#

Yes

opaque quest
#

Any chance you know how much dmg ill lose without RJW?

waxen frigate
#

There is an ICD but RJW basically ensures you’re always getting it as much as you can

#

I don’t have an exact number but it’s simmable

#

When I was testing it early on I want to say 3-6% loss

#

Over a key

#

But this was in May

#

So the spec is quite a bit different

opaque quest
#

What was the recap? SD instead of RJW and PTA instead of WoO?

#

Need to write it down

waxen frigate
#

SD instead of RJW for your visibility issues

#

Mess around with pta and woo to see which you like more in keys

#

Don’t play pta in raid

opaque quest
#

Will do. Thanks alot for your help

Wont be doing a key in the next 2-3 hours tho. Friend is gone and we gear together. Hes the pala without a keyboard

chilly brook
warm plinth
#

Oh man those onion rings look fiiiiire

#

I just love that TX BBQ is so much about the meat

#

KC's BBQ is mostly about the sauce

chilly brook
#

Yeah I’m much more of a KC bbq fan

#

But I’m not going to complain either way

warm plinth
#

I actually have never had the best BBQ here

#

And I've lived here since 2010

#

I was gonna go once but there was a line around the building

chilly brook
#

The problem with TX bbq is more to do with the fact that imo there’s too much focus on the meat. It needs something to compliment it

#

It’s like when you order a salad and there’s 90% lettuce and 10% other stuff, it’s just not balanced

tulip moth
#

thats like going to a steak house and saying you dont enjoy it because all they seasoned it with is salt and pepper

pale karma
#

Is it understood how the nerfs to embellishments in 10.2 will impact what's recommended? Are there new ones being introduced to consider or is shadowflame patch still expected to be strong?

chilly brook
warm plinth
#

Yeah idk, to each their own but I think the meat should stand on its own. I like sauce too but wish there was kinda a happy medium between TX and KC

tulip moth
#

also tx puts a large emphasis on good side dishes. BBQ is no good without a nice sauce, potato salad, baked beans or some cole slaw

chilly brook
#

What I’m saying is TX bbq is the equivalent of getting a 3 pound steak on the plate with a large potato

#

It’s just not balanced

In some cases that can be true. Or at least they'll be better. But only assuming the meta spec is easy

one could assume that playing many specs would increase your knowledge on how to better syngerise/understand how to play with groups

They're not gonna suddenly be a God tier gamer but it might get them an extra key level or two

either gear up all the tanks every season. i just wanna take the easy IO at the start so gearing up the rest is easier

my biggest issue is dont remember which buttons are which on my keyboard because theyre worn out in the shape of my face

we didnt have a choice but to play reprisal

grizzled nova

yes i am

chilly brook
grizzled nova
#

Reprisal's charge weaving was integral to maintaining sb uptime and dps, and charge and intervene were used much more frequently.

#

Gave the spec an extremely kinetic feel.

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

thats just a pretty way of saying our SB uptime fucking blew so you had to zoom all over

Reprisal, while I ended up enjoying it despite hating it early on, was not a good thing for the spec

Saved pwar in sl for me.

what saved Pwar was Banner with leggos

Tying your AM to your mobility is not good

It was above all else fun to play, even if you want to write it off as a bandaid for the spec.

chilly brook
#

It was a bandaid and it wasn’t good for the spec

warm plinth
#

Yeah no one wants to have to leap away just to charge back in to maintain a defensive

chilly brook

Also spoiler charge weaving was optimal before reprisal

Any tips to tank Deios as a 410 tank? I tanked the whole dungeon but I was getting absoutely wrecked by him

#

only boss I could not do, so I dropped so they coud get a dif tank

#

I tried rotating cds but it was too much

novel temple
#

But we’re you in def stance or battle stance?

copper lion
#

d stance, he was destroying me

#

400-550k breaths

novel temple
#

Cause I was basically sitting in defensive stance for morchie and shit

#

With spell reflect for each or what about demo/shield wall?

copper lion
#

I could only survive with a defensive but he breaths every 20-30 secs

#

The spell reflect only mitigates his cast, but the dot is what wrecks you

#

you can't avoid the dot

bleak breach
#

Def stance, a lot of IP and cds for each dot

copper lion
#

yea I mean that boss is nuts

#

compared to him, the other bosses were a joke

bleak breach
#

Spell block can be nice to take there too

copper lion
#

and I had a 430+ healer

#

that's ridic

bleak breach
#

Yeah, hopefully they fix the tuning a bit for m+

copper lion
#

i could not tank him, dps said I was too low as 410

#

but I did the entire dungeon fine

bleak breach
#

Yeah 410 would be too low

copper lion
#

yea that's dumb, that's the boss i need

#

just got back to game too

#

so it sucks

bleak breach
#

Loot is 441 thought, so required ilvl is around 430 without a really hard carry.

#

Hard to carry a tank though

copper lion
#

yea it's absolutely not necessary to make that last boss that difficult, even bosses at 16 keys I was doing were not hitting that hard

worthy briar
bleak breach
#

It is difficulty based though, it’s a dungeon set for players 425ilvl and above. If you can successfully tank it at 410 good job, but it hits hard

#

Just grab another 15-20ilvl and you should be fine

pallid quiver
#

it's tuned for 415 ilvl last i heard

pallid quiver
#

I highly recommend lusting adds since the last part of the fight doesn't actually have a time limit

#

The puddles disappear after a while

#

The first part of the fight punps fuck tons of damage, and if they opt to cast on you while breathed, you have a terrible time

#

Especially since healers don't like to pop healing CDs there

#

Spell Block can be helpful for the adds, but doesn't help much with the breath; most of its damage comes from the unblockable dot

#

though the upfront does still tick and is usually tied to an add spawn, so if you have it, might as well catch both

copper lion
#

oh I didn't know about this Defender's Aegis

gives me two Shield Wall charges

#

is that better?

#

for this specific fight

#

otherwise what is the typical cd reduction with Impenetrable Wall on Shield Wal?

pallid quiver
#

Thunderlord's a bad choice; Demo already ends up synced close enough to casts, and killing the adds faster saves you damage

#

No, it's terrible for that fight

#

You need frequent shield walls, not two of them

#

So the extra rage and more frequent shield walls are a drastic offensive and defensive benefit for that fight

#

Shield Wall should be around 1-1.5 min CD when playing properly

#

Each breath is roughly about 30 seconds apart - a bit less, iirc

pallid quiver
#

They need to die asap to reduce damage going out to the group

copper lion
#

I think that's what was killing me

#

not the breath itself, i was getting ticks of 140k from adds

#

on top of 500k breaths

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, they randomly target people with the casts, as well as put out dispells that need to instantly be dispelled, as the dot is fromt loaded

#

The breath hurts, but is the only damage deios does

bleak breach
#

I’m just honestly not sure if it’s possible at 410ilvl. Obviously with a lot of effort, but definitely more effort then it’s worth.

pallid quiver
#

I mean

#

I've done it every week since I was that ilvl

#

That's been my main gearing source

bleak breach
#

Just not sure it’s worth the drama, I’d be looking to be around 425 to start.

#

Drops aspect crests, meaning it’s aimed for players to go have or are close to myth track gear.

Appears it could be, we get the permanent augment rune which generally happens on last tier.

#

Small chance they may want to do things differently, but I’m guessing they’re finishing it up here.

wide pilot
#

are do we deal with the bleeds from the basilisks in uld?

uneven mason
#

Or leap

wide pilot
#

is it the chomp that gives the bleed?

uneven mason
#

Ya

wide pilot
#

is the range on it about the same as those dudes in halls of valor we could back step on the 1st pull?

uneven mason
#

Uld has some trash that you just don't really want to fuck with on fort (or higher keys in general)

#

It 8yrd

#

So a bit more, but ez to range

wide pilot
#

ok thx! will give it a shot again

uneven mason
#

You can do some fancy pathing in the center area in the 1st room

#

They'll run around the wall

#

But, yeah that chomp bleed, berserk brutes and the snakes are just shit

wide pilot
#

you talking about jumping back and forth on the platform thingy?

uneven mason
#

I guess "platform thingy"

lusty grotto

@chilly brook did u know

since April, pretty much since it opened

lusty grotto

why didnt you say anything 😢

evokechip is now happy

undone sun

I'm not one to announce something

lusty grotto

i guess i dont know why Griff didnt say anything

#

stop it :[

no need to be humble

😄

#

i just learned that im a dumbass for doing all 3 difficulties from a random

#

and then i went to check

#

lo and behold who was on the search

#

i also learned that my friend gorddi is an even bigger dumbass because he was doign that shit since the leggo was found lmaoooooo

grand veldt
#

does intimidating shout work on incorp or only with the menace talent?

toxic pewter
#

Hoping Dragonflight ends sooner than most expansions. Quicker this is wrapped up the better

lusty grotto
#

it works without the menace talent

grand veldt
#

nice, ty

lusty grotto
#

why woudlnt it

#

its a fear

grand veldt
#

i dunno at beginning of season

#

a fury warrior i played with said he had to spec into menace

lusty grotto
#

hes a moron

grand veldt
#

only time ive ever done that is for sanguine

lusty grotto
#

perhaps he didnt know its a point blank from your character

toxic pewter
#

I’ve never used menace to this day lol

grand veldt
#

yeah its not good

lusty grotto
#

and you have to actually target the incorp

toxic pewter
#

Yeah that guy prob didn’t target the incorp lmao

grand veldt

yeah he must have not known, thanks for the heads up

ionic fern
#

DF is bad cause it gave us Augmentation.

lusty grotto
#

how dare you

ionic fern
#

It's the truth.

lusty grotto
#

hard disagree

#

DF is not bad

#

and its not because of aug

#

the game needed a shakeup

ionic fern
#

Okay, lemme rephrase cause i cba going into sematisc this early in the morning.
DF is bad for ME because it gave us Augmentation.

lusty grotto
#

i would have thought you were not on the same page as the general reddit pop Mwhi

#

not gonna lie

ionic fern
#
  1. I don't read reddit
    2)The whole dragon race/class feels out of place for me.
lusty grotto
#

blaming aug for other classes scaling out proportion is kind of strange

ionic fern
#

Mate

#

I don't care about that.

#

The class/race feels out of place for me in the WoW universe

lusty grotto
#

oh

#

you mean evokers

ionic fern
#

Yes

#

That

#

Thingy

lusty grotto
#

oh lmaooooo

#

get ur coffee

#

i suppose i cant blame you for that one

#

i actually kind of feel the same way

#

the dragons look fucking weird

potent anvil
#

Man.. I'm getting declined to 23s sadgers
Just trying to get io injection on my warr

lusty grotto

Push your own key dweeb

potent anvil

#

griff why didnt you tell me Thyme was a mod in Evoker disc

ionic fern
#

Thyme is a mod everywhere.

chilly brook
#

Uhhh cuz I didn’t know

lusty grotto
#

👀

#

well i do remember him being a mod in dreamgrove

#

idk if thats still the case

chilly brook
#

And here

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

well yea

#

i dont hang out on other discords like i do here, so of course griff, i know him from here

ionic fern
#

Where them Prot changes at.

lusty grotto
#

i thought you knew me griff 😦

ionic fern
potent anvil
ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

oh shit how did i do

potent anvil
#

Cheeklord and his group

ionic fern
#

No idea who that is.

potent anvil
#

They were pushing 28s

ionic fern
#

So i just take it he won cause he's not pugging.

potent anvil
#

Yeah

#

Core group that he plays with and pushes live keys with.

#

So they just played off specs

ionic fern
#

Come to EU. We gotchu.

potent anvil
lusty grotto
#

i did ok

#

lmao

ionic fern
#

Solid.

#

3 keys and almost in the top 100.

lusty grotto
#

its too bad ret wasnt eligible

#

or i would have helped you deswind

ionic fern
#

Wait, really?

lusty grotto
#

ngl

ionic fern
#

That's a weird one.

#

Is ret popular in keys?

lusty grotto
#

yeah some specs not being eligible make no sense

#

like WW isnt

ionic fern
#

I haven't seen one in a while outside my guildie who plays Ret.

potent anvil
#

I did get into a 25 BH pug earlier today. Did the first big pull, that normally bears do.. and people were dying on tyran trash SweatPopcorn
Pull feels easy as prot warr. Got to first boss and healer couldn't keep up, and group disbanded.

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

no WW, no Ret

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

BUT

#

THERES 3 DKS

potent anvil
lusty grotto
#

just no WW or Ret

potent anvil
#

This pull

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

that pull is easy

#

and you just have to play stops on fixates

#

i.e. shockwave

potent anvil
#

Dunno people just dying, or not pushing buttons

#

Yeah I stop fixates, but I only have shockwave and fear unfortunately

#

I ran intervene for melee

lusty grotto
#

i bet they ran away

#

like they always do

potent anvil
ionic fern
#

Mate.
I'm a melee brain.
Another warrior joined our raid team and we both charged on Sark after coming out of first intermission and fell through a RNG hole.

#

Syncronized melee brain.

potent anvil
#

Happens to the best of us

potent anvil
#

I just find it interesting that pugs don't push defensives often enough. Giga pull and I would see a dps not push defensives then hits it when they're practically dying already.

#

I have storm bolt

lusty grotto
#

yeah well

#

those are the kind of pugs that shouldn't be in that key level

#

so thats their hard stop

ionic fern
#

Maybe they'll learn.

potent anvil
#

6 mobs that fixate, I can only stop them so many times SweatPopcorn

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

did you have an aug?

#

they might be used to an aug taking care of them

potent anvil
#

Aug, enh shaman and fury warr keks

lusty grotto
#

but again thats on them

potent anvil
#

No wonder I was able to get in

lusty grotto
#

and the aug didnt play stops?

potent anvil
#

Dunno, I'm just tanking and doing what I can to help

ionic fern
#

I do hate Aug's in keys tho.
I'm always so excited when i do so much damage, only to realise that we have a Aug in the group and i'm actually still trash.

potent anvil
#

Hpala couldn't heal first boss after the first set of bleeds came out. Everyone slowly started dying. People not kicking bolts

lusty grotto
#

i mean the worst part of augs is they get insta invited so their rating is hyper inflated

potent anvil
#

Hpala kicked once for the entirety of that run, too. sadgers

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

so you get 3.4k garbazo bean players

ionic fern
#

That sounds like something that happens in a 20-22 area.

lusty grotto
#

that should be 2700 at the most

potent anvil
#

And the fact that maybe it was handled better at a lower key level made them complacent

ionic fern
#

Maybe they had a prot pally who just carried them.

#

BoP'ed and Interrupted everything.

potent anvil
#

Yeah dunno

lusty grotto
#

hmm

#

no

#

prot pally cant stop the fixates

ionic fern
#

BoP.

lusty grotto
#

1 bop and 1 blinding light isnt enough

ionic fern
#

Well, chances of them all being in the same group is scarce. 😂

#

There's always the possibility that the Enhance shaman accidentally pressed their stun totem when he was fixated.

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats actually likely

#

NA pugs dont understand what Diminishing returns are

potent anvil
#

My last run was 23 UR, and this priest pulled crag room mobs for me. Lock and hunter started dying because no stops on lasher and we constantly have 2 bloodswarmers around. And it's just tyran trash huh

ionic fern
#

Your pug luck seems even worse than mine.

potent anvil
#

I mean I'm fine if people pull for me. But if they don't have stops then what can I do keks

#

I just stay in battle stance and pump

ionic fern
#

I hate when people pull for me.

#

I have this nice plan in my head of what i'm gonna do and then they just ruin it.

lusty grotto
#

lol

potent anvil
#

I'm typically okay with it. I just assume they know what they're doing and I roll with it

#

But if it goes south, it wasn't my fault

lusty grotto
#

yeah im usually ok if my route pulls align with it

#

like maybe i didnt notice cds or eons being up

#

or about to be off cd

#

it doesnt happen often though

ionic fern
#

Not relevant to this topic, but i'm DPS'ing next tier and i wanna stick to warri so i can still play m+ as prot, but both the DPS specs feel so awkward to play with the new talents.

potent anvil
#

Fury is your best bet

#

Arms is a mess

ionic fern
#

I tried Fury on PTR..but it's just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO weird.

lusty grotto
#

i like arms

ionic fern
#

I love how it plays right now.

#

But the PTR version of it feels clunky as hell.

lusty grotto
#

well i certainly havent Arms in ptr

ionic fern
#

BB Rampage BB rampage BB rampage

potent anvil
#

I just dislike how arms plays. It's just kinda broken, in the sense that its gameplay loop is bad imo. It's straightforward, just antithetical to its supposed design.

#

Like rage economy doesn't matter for arms sadgers

ionic fern
#

You sticking to Warri for next tier?

potent anvil
#

I'm not raiding anymore. So I'll be playing a bunch of alts. Especially with catalyst week 1. But I think I'll attempt to push on warr as prot

ionic fern
potent anvil
#

Monk also 70 on a different realm. Priest still leveling, but I'll play these casually. Push as prot mostly. Unless bdk with leggo is op or something.

bleak breach
#

@potent anvil just don’t enjoy raiding anymore? Or don’t have time?

potent anvil
#

Maybe I'll reconsider it in the next expansion

warm plinth
# ionic fern

Yeah this nonsense is why I'm going prot on war next tier keks

pallid quiver
#

I just don't like aesthetically 2-handing weapons

#

when's SMF as transmog option blizz

ionic fern
warm plinth
#

I mean considering SMF is basically never going to be a viable talent, they might as well just make it a mog option

pallid quiver
#

if it does become viable, I wager people gonna riot

jagged pier
ionic fern
#

Why is SMF bad tho? It it just a number thingy?

pallid quiver
#

Mostly just numbers, iirc, throughout the time it's ever existed

#

hard to match raw stat from two 2 hands

ionic fern
#

I have fond memories of playing 1h fury way back. 😦

#

Just make it buff 1h more, smh. Why so hard.

jagged pier
#

numbers and u have 2 less talent points to take it as its a talent

bleak breach
#

SMF will only be good once they make it it’s own spec again, same or similar talents but don’t need to talent into SMF, it’s pointless.

arctic marten
#

During execute, is it more damage to always press Execute over Revenge, or are there scenarios where casting Revenge to fish for Shield Slam resets is worth it?

jagged pier
#

it literally needs to be base line SMF and its fixed

pallid quiver
#

Execute can also reset SS, so it's a question of whether you can cast enough executes

arctic marten
#

Execute costs up to twice as much rage as Revenge, is why i'm asking

pallid quiver
#

If you can afford Execute, it does more damage in ST by a non-zero amount

jagged pier
#

titans grip is baseline why isnt smf?

ionic fern
#

^

jagged pier
#

thats literally the issue

ionic fern
#

Let it be a visual thing.
Damage be the same.

#

Plz.

arctic marten
#

Thank you

jagged pier
#

but yes it should just be cosmetic

bleak breach
#

100% jakey

It will never beat titans until it’s baseline

#

Or even compete

warm plinth
waxen frigate
#

you really just cant compete unless you obscenely buff it

#

the stats and wDPS alone make that pretty set in stone

warm plinth
#

Yep. I guess you could theoretically do something weird where you made fury get increased stats/slower attack speed from 1h weapons

#

and made those numbers equal 2h of the same ilevel

waxen frigate
#

like

#

theres just

#

a really fucking simple solution

#

of just make it transmog

warm plinth
#

There is, yes

waxen frigate
#

i dont understand why they keep digging their heels in

#

it's so fuckign stupid

warm plinth
#

and while they're at it, they can make daggers moggable to other things

pallid quiver
#

just simply quintuple their attack speed with 1Hs

#

GCDs and all

do we level or do we key 🤔

those people

waxen frigate
#

xfac is legitimately just a technological hurdle

pallid quiver
#

There's that, too, though I wager the queue system can be worked through easy enough at this point

waxen frigate
#

im sure they'll figure it out

pallid quiver
#

Guilds, unless they've fixed that, are a bit harder iirc

waxen frigate
#

but it's just undoing years and years of hardcoding

blazing condor
#

honestly worst part of blizz storytelling is the constant switch up between "grr we hate eachother and go to WAR" and "omg we must band together to defeat this common enemy"

warm plinth
#

Let me see if my mistweaver is set up

blazing condor
#

like just make a decision

waxen frigate

xfac guilds are a thing now

#

and they work fine

blazing condor
#

the horde and alliance arent at war anymore

waxen frigate
pallid quiver
#

Yeah, from all the private server talk I've heard over the years, xfac guilds are the hardest part

pallid quiver
#

something something faction tied to character race or something, i dunno

xfac guilds are really impressive

theyre still jank in some ways

Is lingering sporepods trinket really bad for prot warrior? Reason I ask is i got a mythic one from vault and my current trinkets are hero mark of dragul and hero enduring dreadplate. No other decent choices in vault so would end up taking a socket.

Yes, enduring dreadplates actually isn't that terrible of a trinket

steep condor

ok i'll get a socket then i guess 😦

it's terrible because it takes up loot spots I could use for loot
