go for like 30 min walks every couple hours
just moving around in general, i.e. getting a set step number throughout the day is huge
I aim for 10-15k at least
yep
My guys got the apple pace maker too
I can get 3k steps in a single hour at the gym during my lifts
do you close your rings
i actually used to close all my rings
its sort of gimmicky but it helped me lol
He cheats
Actually untrue gilf is my goal
just ate more chinese food 
I just ate all this
yum
The box was like 2lbs
love when they fill it up
My guys diet is brown
You know it
I almost can’t eat enough food in a day
I'm anti food cause I don't work out with intensity
I’m like eating at 11:59pm to hit my 3000th calorie
the fuck
Eat more often you goofy bitch
eat bagels
But in the end I still need to shit my brains out
LISTEN TO STICKY RICKY
Best part of dieting is Bagels with eggs
TRUE
I DO LOVE BAGELS
but they are expensive and go stale quickly
EXPENSIVE????
Imagine letting Bagels go bad lmao
LIKE 6 FOR $3!
I don’t want that Einsteins crap
Jewish deli bagels or none
can freeze bagels but they never the same after that
Listen eating breakfast everyday was a massive change for me
bagel life is very intensive
i respect OG bagel shops
they wake up early as hell to get it going every day
hell yeah it is
i want to work a bagel place tbh
they a dying breed these days
i want to learn the art
🤔
bagel rolling
The lye dip
bagel are boiled
in water with... malt or barley or something
in canada they boil them in water with honey
the montreal bagel place thats really popular i cant remember the name they are a bit sweet vs american bagels
I just ate like 1200 cal of Chinese food
i am also against sweet bagels in general.. strawberry/cinnamon/blueberry etc
And now I want cream cheese bagel
same
Sweet bagels are better if you’re not eating a fresh high quality bagel
Hello my guild is doing mythic prog and our tanks are taking a lot of damage, our warrior especially is dying a lot sometimes randomly, if I dm'd some logs could someone help me find out why?
I am mega busy for the next 5hr
Just put it in here and we can all take a look
He is here somewhere and could flame me at any moment
we are all here to better ourselves
Don't you want to learn and improve, mr tank, wherever you are?
He gets mad at me when I bring stuff up, or tells us were wrong and I'm scared and don't know enough
but overall hes a real nice guy just not when it comes to criticism sadly
it'll be more convincing to see the entire discord agree on where he should work on rather than one person
I'll delete them after a little bit
remove my trace
obviously they aren't the reason were not killing, but when a tank dies its an issue and I want to remove any issues
He said he uses battle stance a lot because he needs it otherwise he'll lose aggro
there's absolutely no way a dps should ever rip aggro from a tank regardless of stance
absolutely use dstance at high stacks
Cast per minute overall seem fairly low overall. Assuming not generating or using enough rage
I see both of your tanks have on zskarn quite big gaps when not taking boss after their debuff falls off, that makes it harder for other tank
His healing numbers are very low for Zskarn and mythic especially.
Yeah we talked about that and I told them they need to swap at 9 at least
And yeah, I don't play tank but its not classic anymore I never see tanks lose aggro mid fight
no, they need to swap as soon as their debuff falls off
just swap as soon as the previous stack falls off, no reason to stay at high stacks any longer than absolutely necessary
and remember to use all available AA slows
yeah we have a lot of people not doing their shit, the warlock trial we had with us didn't want to keep curses up
on a trial???? be on your best behavior, my dude
yeet that idiot
In his words ''I'm finding it hard to play the fight and multi-task'' I said either curse the adds, curse the boss, or dps the adds
instead of none
Yeah they need to immediately taunt boss when debuff drops. His damage and healing seems low overall.
It's an instant cast that lasts two minutes
do you have any logs of farm fights? i wanna see if this warrior has better cpm on fights where he's not stressed out
I'd be fuming
I'll take a look now
Basically needs higher uptime on ignore pain, one pull he had 43 casts of revenge vs 13 ignore pain casts..
@tepid tendon
Similar fight time for mythic Kazz
Mine on the right, his on the left.
My fight did go 20 secs longer, but 34 more SS 45 more IP
Like I know next to nothing about tanking, but that doesn't make sense to me lol
I used last stand 5 times, him 2
He’s just not generating or using enough rage.
Also spell reflect is massive for these mythic fights, needs to be used more.
if we're correctly prioritizing rage gen, which is also prioritizing our biggest damage buttons, we also get more IP for free
^
Has to be just missing using shield slam, he’s got 25 more revenge casts then more and more TC
He’s using filler abilities over SS which is reducing rage gen and damage dealt
the kazzara log isn't as far off as the zskarn one but it's still a solid 14 lower cpm than sokraxx here
Yep, which is a lot.
so he's a bit suboptimal on a farm fight, and then clearly everything's just a bit worse on a prog fight
Yeah, just gotta figure a way to phrase all of this lol
I’m not saying I’m perfect or anything, but it’s a quick comparison.
Simply needs to use more SS and ignore pain. It’s nice to burn revenge this much but he’s burning it over using shield slam. Literally nearly has more revenge casts then shield slam.
it's biggest damage and biggest rage gen
Also his single target build is wrong
highest priority over all except CDs
Looks like he’s in a M+ or aoe build
more rage means more healing from indomitable, more CD reduction from anger management, more free IPs from outburst, more pure IP or revenge from dumping rage
And more shield walls!
it's not always super useful to hear "just play better" from your raid lead but i'd say using last stand on CD for tier set is a good start
and don't be weirdly afraid of using def stance for the highest damage parts of the fight, it's free dr%
and spell reflect too
yeah I might just need to face the music and ping him to here at some stage
easier than pretending I know what I'm talking about
but like I said hes not a big issue, just one of the many issues in our prog
Definitely needs to change his talent build
You got a link for one you'd use on Z'skarn?
That’s a start
His build is really off if you compare just to the base wowhead build
I think the biggest issue is that YOU are here asking about it, while it's HE who should be trying to improve
oh god barbaric training
Yeah maybe, guess its preference, I just always use disc for learning lol
oh he doesn't have bolster with tier set
Without trying to be offensive, things like builds, enchants, flask etc are too basic to be missing or wrong in mythic. Especially upto Zskarn.
Simply needs to be better or find a new tank or you just won’t get further.
Also on the bstance thing, he loses about 7% damage being in dstance. By default, he generates 650% more threat than dps. There are reasons to be in bstance but getting enough aggro isn't one of them.
I changed now haha, I did fine with it and never realised I shouldn’t run it…
well it certainly solves the mystery of how he's casting IP so little
Yep
while also overprioing revenge
I think just the build change itself will make a huge difference.
^ this is what you need to pay attention to @tepid tendon
if your tanks arent switching correctly they will suffer
Yeah I'll bring it up for sure
if hes not using dstance after an x amount of stacks, then swap back after fade
like sure he can bstance for the first stacks no problem as long as he stance dances correctly after 5 stacks probably
do you guys have AA slows?
no rogue
no DK
just one warlock
Sometimes, I specced it on UH DK and the raid before last our warlock did have uptime
Bigtime, been a big drama about it
well does he want to kill the boss?
your warlock must have 100% uptime on curse of weakness on boss
thats his job to use his class properly
yeah weakness, sorry
Basically group of 3 joined, I asked Wlock twice to do it
He didn't, told him to do it, told his friends and they said they didn't know and will flame it for him
he has next raid and hes benched
its mythic, highest difficulty, if he doesnt want to use his class properly - he can go play easier difficulties
Yeah, just the added worry of its a group of 3 or 4, 3 are good and then one dude doesn't do what he should
if we bench him we could lose 4
maybe not, but it is an issue
if you can sub a DK in, and one that specs insidius chill... which is kind of a dps loss, then it will go a long way into stacks
classic issue with inviting groups, I know that as well :v
Yep yep, don't usually do it but we've ran through a lot of people on Z'skarn lol
combo invites yeah
so to summarize:
- pick a diff talent build, the one youre playing is quite detrimental offensively and defensively
- use less revenge, only use it as reset tool for shield slam, nothing else
- use more IP, basically when youre at 60-80 rage send IP
- send outburst on Shieldslam, NOT on thunderclap if you can avoid it
- if youre not that well versed (by that i dont mean the secondary stat), just sit in D-stance on zskarn
- have warlock/rogue/DK apply attackspeed slow, it is vital to reducing tank dmg intake MASSIVE amounts
Yeah, we are finally seeing the end I think, hopefully at least
honestly im with Nome on this one
but ideally we'd like this and magmorax down
Yeah, Nome has summed it up perfectly.
and he should perma Dstance until he finds out your groups magic number for stance dancing
If you can get Zskarn you get Magmorax easy
Yeah for sure, we're super chill as a guild but we're steadily getting chill players in the last couple tiers
Only missing some reasonable prog, finding it hard to get people in and staying in
Chill is fine, but things like completely wrong talent builds in mythic are just a no no
its late in the season so
He should also know that himself though
not surprising
Yeah should be better when the new tier starts
but I feel like I say that most tiers
then the influx is never as good as I hope for
Yeah, it’s always hard to fill groups late in a tier.
surely itll be better next time
i am anti-chill
The big guilds normally steal them first and people stay on bench there hoping to get a free CE
Looks like yous are getting close anyway, so if you can fix a couple of issues you should get 7/9 this tier.
Which is a great effort.
This new patch including a new season for M+?
upcoming 10.2? yep
Yeah 10.2. So the ilevel of all the gear will change again? Wondering if doing m+ now is worth it
It's worth it now to be geared enough for 10.2
So you can go right into it at higher keys and immediately start collecting ilvl cap
I gotcha. Thank you
It's also very quick to gear
You can very casually hit 420 or so in about two hours, 430 in a day or so, and that's all without M+
With M+, you can probably hit 44x in like one, two days
447s are gonna be LFR gear so i dont know about that S
that's max upgraded LFR gear, not right off the bat
LFR opening immediately??
so if you think you can get to ilvl cap with LFR gear well all the power to you
doesnt matter we get like 3 set pieces on raid week
catalyst opens in day 1 anyway
aotc is another
or KSM
holy moly
or 2400 i guess
😮
Yeah well I have a cat wheel
That is a huge item level jump next season lol.
Yeah they're trying to soft nerf T30 tiersets that way
Without actually nerfing them
Same with trinkets or weapons
Whats going to beat beacon though?
Everything
There's like 3 or 4 trinkets from raid that will beat bacon right out the gate
Beacon 2
electric bugaloo
As much as I currently dislike Beacon for being as strong as it is now,
But it looks like every single dungeon trinket is dogwater btw
Eh beacon isn't even that strong
I wouldn't even ve mad if they straight out made Beacon 2 Electric Bugaloo, named that way and everything
Like don't get me wrong, it is huge in raid
even butcher's block?
But in m+ it's mediocre
Yeah, over the course of a dungeon yeah
Butchers block and sandglass are like the 2 good trinkets from m-
But it feels bad seeing people get a beacon crit and bam, my parsing efforts in the trash
feelsbadman
Tbf it doesn't help
That the only trinkets we could test on ptr have been raid trinkets
Haven't checked last weekend cuz I was otherwise busy
Not with gholak existing
Shame they took Rezan's out back. That probably would have been good still, ye?
What
was that what to me or nim
I need one of these
at least wowhead has it like a boe so idk
Oh shit
My three cats would love that shit
giga feelsbadman
Nim making me log onto ptr at 3am
well i just saw WH's page on it

lol im an idiot nome
Yes
dont worry
Same, but technically vers is better defensively, but you won't notice it
Wat
its a fyraak drop
vers is better defensively in raid than crit
because you basically never get meleed
but raid dmg intake is generally not high enough
to need to stack vers
O right raid
So?
Technically
eventually the one mob will hit me again
Gear for damage
I'm still confused what should I be stacking. Haste Verse? 40% haste? 20% mast/crit?
☝️
Most damage is easily handled with CDs/Externals
you should be stacking haste
generally you just gear for dmg
everything else parse it
Item level
well ikarikaze has a better idea
as defensively stats have very little relevance
so ye
rule of thumb is
ilvl > haste > crit>=vers > mastery
and beyond that, just sim
no specific amount of % you aim for
i thought that was in the faq wasnt it?
Ya

its in the pins
Fuck nim why you waking nom up at 3 am
Right
lmaooo idk i just saw some random mobs on it and thought it was a boe
Maybe you should
It's a shit schedule
happy 9 pm to you too

i dont have a passport
so i cant make a last minue decision to spend a couple thousand bucks to go to blizzcon
My wife left me over a 20$ pack of smokes, imagine I'd be dead if I dropped 2500$ on a trip to cali
How long it take to get passport in eu
We'll just smuggle you in, it'll be fine
2-4 weeks with express
8-10 weeks without
I needed one for cruise I took and I had to make a emergency reservation and got it within 4 days
Do they have that there
It was a pain in the ass tbf
A plane ticket
Anyway, I ain't going to Blizzcon; I've got fighting game tournaments to go to
Oh derp lmao
well the flight alone is 360 at the very cheapest
There's a fucking ocean in the way apb
then GL getting a hotel room this late
Yeah true will be expensive
and i also wanna see some shit
Just fuckin set sail now
so yeh
Fuck cruise ships
i dont think i'd benefit off of a cruise, theyre basically just floating restaurants
Lol yeah basically
and i sure as shit dont eat enough
I didn’t really enjoy it much either and I missed pirate day
B-b-but they have pools on board sometimes!
They're floating petri dishes
tbf i do prefer a pool over the ocean
mainly cuz i just dont like the ocean or beach
very boring places
It was only one I been on and it was actually kinda crazy all the workers work 7 days a week 12 hours a day at least
Then they get 3 months off
also there's a lotta barnacles
yeah i had a friend who worked on a ship
They work hard too
he'd be working for like 3-4months straight
Ya
then have half the year off
If you want to catch something taking a cruise is more surefire way to get a dead disease than licking the urinal at Disneyland
he toured around the entire world
kinda sick
but also scary af
cargo ship scary
Real piraten ain't no bullshit
i got thalassophobia, you aint getting me on the ocean
And the people sending you out could not give a single less of a fuck about your well being
My uncle made his fortune because of pirates
i hate cruises
Just learned another word
shit like this freaks me the fuck out
nowhere to go until you dock
I think stuff like that's really cool, which I have no idea why
I also have an irrational fear of void/deep empty spaces
I blame living nowhere near deep water, so I probably ronanticize
its not the empty itself, its when theres something gigantic
I literally skipped that water raid in bfa
and you cant leave easily
youre stuck there
whatever happens, happens
cant just hearth out
smh not setting your home point before going out
like imagine being that guy right there, and this fucking ship starts moving
youre fucked
pure unfiltered terror
i thought that was a sub
the only thing worse are gigantic boat propellers
imagine youre that guy, and the propeller starts turning all of a sudden
oh yeah fuck that
ive seen enough indiana jones to know not to get close to propellers or helicopter blades
yeah nah im good
lmao
i used to do snorkeling a lot
so im not really scared of water
but delta p scares the shit out of me
and also rogue wave / underwater currents
I've once been dragged out by a wave
Luckily only like 5-10m
But it was weird getting up and suddenly the beach is a bit further away
Instead of closer
i was big into the ocean a lot when i was younger, did bodyboarding, my brother was into surfing
Like beach levels are fine
you learn to respect the ocean real fast though
But open water, nuh-uh fuck that
Don't know wtf is lurking below
Just as a reminder
We know more about space than the underwater
yea
We know more shit about stuff that's lightyears away
Than stuff that's 10km below us
You guys think blizzcon virtual pass worth it. Like the items and crap seem kinda bad
Nah
to be fair that's because there's fuckall in most of space
Way too pricey this time around
It is literally defined by being mostly nothing
How much even is it
and to be fair its cause pressure is just a hell of a force to be reckoned with
And for the fact that we don't have technology that can reach the deep sea
Ykno
There's stuff down there
i dont think there will be ever
unless somehow we find a way to dodge the laws of physics
Isn’t most of the ocean unexplored
Like there's nothing we don't know about earth
There
Except the stuff that's below us
Yeah I believe deep down in the darkest dark is where we come from
And one day a creature decided to swim upward
And saw the light for the first time
And now we are here in discord
That light was God
Unless you're like William Lane Craig and believe in intelligent design
Yeah I believe in God but also understand the evidence of evolution
Contradiction
fedorachip....
Yah I can never prove God, no one can that is why it’s a belief
i mean the catholic church did a u-turn on evolution a while ago, they think it true
Yeah
Earth is flat
its fine to believe in it, i dont mind it
They....evolved?
Government has chips controlling us
pleb
what i do mind is those beliefs being forced unto others
It's all about HOLLOW EARTH NOW!
It’s not a conspiracy theory though
Fluoride is turning the frogs gay
It’s a belief system
Not the frogs
That's why I don't brush my teeth
I'll decide when I do gay stuff
Not some chemicals



I turned my 5g to max 
Whole house is running off my 5g
Because my wife left with the router
Lol
oh no you'll turn into covid vampires
Drinking blood and pushing liberal agendas on everyone

Socialism socialism
People think it was covid, but the Canadians have been planning this for decades, lacing our maple syrup with liberal tears. Soon all who have eaten at pancake House at 3am after a bender will fall to our socialist ways

USA doesn't carry real Canadian Maple syrup
Having moved north of the border, I've realized the shit that ends up in the USA is a byproduct knockoff
The real shit is like crack
I put it on everything
Vermont makes maple syrup
But does it really
It's like, legitimately the only good thing that comes from Quebec
I mean I thought they did
They do, and that's really close to Canada, but the really good shit comes from farther north, it's gotta get real cold to reach the proper concentration, otherwise you get this thin watery shit that has to be boiled forever and changes the flavor
Interesting
I may have visited a museum
Ngl Quebec has a lockdown on maple syrup and dairy products, they don't even bother with drugs, syrup and milk
Can you guzzle syrup like they do on Super Troopers?
man i dont even believe in myself

You ask that like it's a challenge, drinking maple syrup is likes eating Pringles, once you start you don't stop
im having a ball raiding
wtf is this
Nice dude
You wanna come to dennys with me and find out?
actually, I do
@waxen frigate im in need of a shitpost
Ok do you want something sad or dank
dank ofc
yea i was there
im a swaggatarius
I’m a gaggatarius for you
Yeah!
Lol
My friends were competing with y’all for server 26th
I just transferred off stormrage. Was server 3rd for most of prog until guild died
congrats!
Thank you! 🥹
I think my server has 2 CEs lol
My server also has 2 CEs.
Would have been 3 with my guild if only real life didn't hit us like a truck
Our new set is awful. The community is laughing at us lmao
who ever displays helms?
me
thank you for answering my question in such a prompt manner
Me
That being said, I like the actual like armor design of the new tier a good amount,
it doesn't fit WoW's general style though I think so it's rough on that aspect
I don’t mog either
Wait - are you saying you’re one of those guys who rocks up to keys with all your gear in it’s base appearance?
Dear god
Especially when you get like
Drops from underrot
(The dungeon gear in the BfA horde dungeons is actual ass)

too relevant
I always get spammed with the random mog toys
We used to have a resident feral that made it his mission to have the absolute worst mog possible - we just never saw it cos he was always in cat form 
I mogged once to please them
He had that giant green three-pronged helmet from pandaria, fiery shoulders from firelands, wendigo woolies shoes, etc
Then a week later I put a different piece from each tier on with random coloured weapon and shield
It’s legit distracting for me if my character has a bad mog
Nahhhhhh - the real trick is that whenever I see someone rock up to a dungeon with no mog I know that they’re gonna be a pumper. They must have used all that extra time to git gud instead
I made a mog in BfA and have been using it ever since
As a Warrior, when I rock up to a dungeon I only look at myself and the enemy. The other 4 casuals in my group are irrelevant placeholders

How giving is prot for a fairly new player that’s new to tanking?
prot is easier than its ever been, but its still one of the harder tanks
Just send it. Tank skill is tank skill
Mechanically prot isn't bad
but htats also not saying much because all tanks are easy now
Prot is going to struggle in areas that other tanks don't. Some tanks will have more complex resource management but it's all just different flscours of ice cream
They all are still ice cream
Depending on your goals, any of the 6 tanks will take you near the top of gameplay
Guys, link a good safe build for sark, pls 
inspiring presence can also be useful, but it depends on your raid CDs
Ty. I try wcl most used talents and it was hard) When i should use spell block?
Notably for Sark, his dot he puts on the tanks is one of the very few magic dots in the game you can actually block
when you have to stand with dot from tank buster, it will depend on how you tank with you co-tank (who is taking boss first, who is staying in p3 etc.), so we cant tell you specific timers
I take boss first on p1 and p2, and second for p3(we trying to swap 2-2-1-1-1) My co-tank - DK
Morning
I'd like to block your magic dot, if you know what I mean
on p3 use it when you receive first stack to survive till you get 2nd stack, when you get 2nd go hide
Use before initial hit?
Ghash is playing the dangerous game, now. I know because I eventually stumbled upon... The Trap
well spell block lasts 30 seconds in the first place, and iirc the dot lasts 20
The dangerous game?
you can use it right on hit, it doesnt mitigates initial hit (its physical, you block it with standard shield block), but it mitigates whole dot
depends on phase, p1 ~27, p2 ~18, p3 ~21 if I remember correctly
One day, you'll stumble on the if you know what I mean that backfires if you're like me
in p1 you should get dot twice and you can spellblock only one, so its best to use on the debuff that epxires on harder for raid moment, so you hit them less
That'd explain why I loosely remember it as not actually 20, but felt like spell block covers it all
tyy, on p2 i guess i should use it ~3:30
I was using it on first hit, just because I was starting boss in p3 and needed it for first dot there so Im not sure what will be your timer in p3, but overall in p2 use it so you have it for first stack you get in p3
also in p2 remember to use def stance when you will go out of group to explode, you are not hiting boss anyway 
but the mad wild heroic throw damage tho
He’s on stormrage which (before cross fac guilds) was the biggest alliance server in NA

Love Alex jones
Alex Jones could’ve been such a good entertainer
Nomer unblock my message
Automod is oppressing me
maybe don't send mesaages that would get blocked by auto mod? 🤨
Poopbag
It's a preset list from discord, we'd have to specifically whitelist individual words like that
Nah idc it’s just funny
are we only meant to press revenge when it procs? in m+ and otherwise
its been a longgg time since i played prot
nah revenge is ur offensive spender, press it regardless of procs or not
mk thanks
Treat it as your shield slam reset Tool
i just feel rage starved a lot
Are you playing barbaric training
brutal vitality?
i might be, let me look
it feels like i get 0 value out of brutal vitality, by the time i get any ignore pain up its gone
feeling what's going on and what's actually going on are 2 different things
Revenge is pretty far down the list of things to spend a global on, TBQH
where is barbaric training on the tree roughly?
started playing prot again like 12 hours ago
I think barbaric training is the ww talent, no?
Class tree, mid section, on the right
Might be smth else you're looking for
Okay then it's just rotational mistakes
It does Revenge for Protection
Ah didn't know
Rotation is super super simple
Shield slam > tc > revenge
In 95% of situations
Outburst on SS - TC on a ratio of 4-1
Rotation is the wrong way to think about it; we have a priority list, and we get a LOT of resets.
Ignore pain at 60-80 rage or when you need it for a mechanic
If you follow those steps
And actually press stuff on CD
are we relying on outburst as our main way of getting ignore pain up
No
You press ignore pain roughly 15 times per minute
And during your opener like 9 times in 12 seconds
Nope. Ignore Pain is a button that triggers Anger Management, Indomitable and Violent Outburst stacks - and just so happens to also give a damage mitigation absorb
you slap ignore pain a lot, in other words
Sounds like a cracked ability
yeah im not pushing it quite enough on the opener i think
what is the deal with last stand? just on cooldown?
Yeah, if you throw all CDs out, you need to be slamming it on its own CD, pretty much, because Ravager gives you a lot of rage to work with
Last Stand on CD atm; Offensive CD that gives shield block
Your ideal situation is to never cap Rage, but instead to spend it on Ignore Pain in order to generate the proc effects from AM, Indom and VO
This is how your casts breakdown should look like
Its CD is also reduced by pressing Shield Slam, so you get more out of it by sending it on CD
let me see if i have any logs from some dungeons from tonight
Pwar is extremely simple
The only thing to "learn" is how to use ignore pain
Everything else you literally just send on CD
Avatar on CD
TR on CD
SC on CD
Demo shout on CD
Ravager on CD
Last stand on CD
also learn how to not rage starve yourself in execute, but
The only things you don't send on CD are stuff like defensives, but that should be pretty self explanatory
You should be using IP more
It looks like the general idea is there, just need to press the buttons faster/react faster to procs
As far as Rage goes, I made my Rage tracker weakaura make a noise at 80 Rage, and call me an Idiot if I cap
Shield block is also too low
You don't have 100% uptime with only using SB 2.9times a minute
SB should be closer to 5cpm
yeah, i am focusing on maintaining shieldblock uptime and trying to see how ignore pain flows with pulls
Making a macro to include a secondary cast of Shield Slam in your Ignore Pain and Shield Block casts allows for easy SS reset sniping
Ye, that macro's in pins, as a heads up, Draw. It doesn't save any keybindings or anything
This is semi related but what’s the cap on shield block again
Like 28?
3x duration
3x original duration
i have seen it go over 30
During bolster it's +15 ontop
oic
Ok so define original
3 times the base duration, plus extra if you use Bolster
18sec without enduring Defenses
24 with Enduring Defenses
So 24 seconds if using Enduring Defenses
And you'll pop up to 39, ye
Yes
If you play HR + Bolster maybe then
But playing HR + Bolster is serious braindamage
To be quite honest, there is a point where you have enough Shield Block and can spend on something else. Usually that point is "What If I just Execute it?"
It's at least still another oGCD race dump, too, if you're blasting CDs
Yeah like I legit don't think about SB usage
I just send it
I don't do content high enough for 30 rage to matter between using on IP or SB in that very moment
I haven't thought about shield block a single time this x-
That's a lie
I've thought about it when I have a pug co-tank pulling 15k DPS
are there any stat breakpoints i should be looking for? or just haste/vers
No
so i have to ration my rage because I literally have to just stop pressing buttons
Just ilvl > haste > crit >= vers > mastery
Haste/CRIT
okay i need way more crit
I throw myself to the robits behind the veil of Raidbots for all my stat decisions
This is my stat breakdown:
i just recrafted all my shit from crit/haste to haste/vers bc i was playing arms, i should have seen how much crit was worth beforehand i guess
anyways, im out, thanks fellas, GL w/ vault
Haste vers aint too bad
I just sim for DPS and roll with it
Everytime i sim for dps it spits out haste/Vers tho
I could probably use some more Vers, but ofc I'm always using Vers flasks so that helps out
FINALLY, someone posting stats with the actual values rather than just percentages
At least at 5 target patchwork 8 minutes
Then that's what you equip
Heh. In most real situations my Haste is 10% higher than that due to ITF
If your sim tells you to equip vers, then that's what you do
I do love some good ol 37% haste
What Nome said, but do make sure you are simming with a flask included
I assume the default APL flask is vers?
Smh
That was always dumb imo
I remember talking to Kate about it early on
It was always simbait
Profile is theoretical max dps within reasonable human ability
Wouldn’t the vers potentially have (very slight) impact on stat weights in top gear
Static is str right
And you can absolutely play with static empowerment, it's just literally never ever has even bought a single one cuz it's a bit harder
I sim with the consumables I personally use
So uh
Doesn't impact mine
i just use chaos or versa personally
Chaos bad
chaose more for fort versa more for tyranical
If you use a flask
but like, whatever lol
Vers and crit are the only good flasks in ST
in keys you can maybe use eye of the storm
Still prob worse than crit/vers
But better than chaos
I find there's too much movement in any real fight for static empowerment to reach its full potential. Plus they are like 4 times the price of Tepid Vers.
I run vers on everything but FDK and arms warrior
Static empowerment stacks up real fast
Because it’s cheap and universally fairly effective
i don't find it that horrible but i don't run the numbers on it either
You just gotta play around it
Eye of the Storm?
in the storm
In the storm
i hate to correct but i got absolutely filtered shredded one day tryin to find them in AH by searching "eye of the storm"
so, now, i forever know its IN the storm
true story
It's more PRI than Static Empowerment though, isn't it?
still expensive compared to TV mind
Yeah it’s expensive
i still prefer chaos
It’s funny that chaos was popular in 10.0 and now you just see nobody use it
It’s vers or crit
Or nothing
reign of chaos, some chaos demon in diablo im sure
more specifically d2, im most accustomed to D2;LOD
Chaos is just bad
You get low uptime on low stats
When vers is 100% guaranteed uptime on 3.5% vers
Chaos is like 30% uptime on 3% stats
Doesn't make sense
one of the effects is -5% dmg and another is +versa which is like the same thing
Yeah but fuckall uptime
so its like a 50/50 do more dmg or take less, and i am enjoyer of this for tank
Yogi be yoging
if im in a raid tho i do versa cuz i know its like a 80%st/20%aoe split for my dps
not worth to prayge for 1 in 4 chance for 5% less dmg so i dont die to some fire
for a quarter of the gold cost I'll just stick to Vers. That let's me buy more Potions.
@sick sentinel if you had to like rank your top 3 favorite weapons from doom (all games) what would they be and why
EZ
BFG #1 cuz mothefuck if i even have to begin to explain the bfg and what it is or why its good......... rocket #2 similiar reasons, chain gun #3 cuz stun locks
Ya BFG number one obvious choice
Stun locks interesting didn’t know that was a mechanic
its literal the big fuckin gun
thats in cannon what the letters stand for
try chain gun stun lock on not like an archy basically
caco and pain elementals and "non elites" up to skeleton boy have pretty good chance to get stun locked

Why sometimes Doom enemies appear to be completely petrified and unwilling to fight back.

A friend of mine's kid is the world record speedrun holder at some ancient platformer that's older than the kid is.
Zoomers be zoomin
How much vers % should I aim for in m+?
You shouldn't aim for any %, just sim for DPS and run whatever the sim says
0%
We stack crit in these parts (just use highest ilvl)
Say it with me: stat weights matter less than good gameplay fundamentals
I mean, stats matter only in the sense of more > not more
Edited for clarity
While true, given how much space we have in DF for picking stats, there is going to be a better and a worse option
of course
Those are vdh buffs, havoc nerfs

It’s not a phase
It's been around for like a decade
DN ain't going anywhere
its extremely cringe
Like vers

Ok boomer
DN gonna put a mushroom stamp on your ass
I do not have a problem with stances per se, just current iteration is awful
Can we pin this, total 180
not really
stances used to actually mean something that changed up actual gameplay
now they are effectively a homogenized gameplay design thats getting closer and closer everytime they nerf the penalties lmao
like why even have them if they do not even effect decision making anymore
meanwhile bringing back the damage penalty alone has always just been a bad design choice and feels bad

what is the funniest meme from back in your day?
and did it smell like updog?
u remember hamsterdance
