good thing they dont listen to everybody like you claim

#

Apb just likes to argue I guess

daring marlin
#

What is he saying here

toxic pewter
#

?

daring marlin
#

I don't understand what you're saying

toxic pewter
#

they capitulated and brought flying back for some reason

#

when no real point when riding is clearly the better designed system

warm plinth
#

Flying never went anywhere sir

daring marlin
#

which is why I'm confused by his assertion

toxic pewter
#

talking about the future at this point

daring marlin
warm plinth
#

how many continents we got right now

waxen frigate
#

You guys ever wonder what the world will be like in 5 years

warm plinth
#

11 continents if you count all of Shadowlands as one.

#

How many have dragonriding?

#

I'll wait for you to count

chilly brook
chilly brook
warm plinth
#

sorry I should've said areas, not continents, but whatever

#

same difference

chilly brook
#

Also @daring marlin picking Kayn and not Sett makes me sadge

#

Sett is omegachad

warm plinth
#

Out of alllll of this, we have dragonriding right here in this one lil spot.

#

Assuming flying would not always be a part of the game is asinine.

daring marlin
sick sentinel
#

all 3 flying options is welcome

daring marlin
sick sentinel
#

taxi heli and dragon

warm plinth
#

you're a taxi

#

gottem

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

is there a way to check how many taxis i have done

warm plinth
#

maybe in stats?

sick sentinel
#

cuz, its like a million

daring marlin
#

Also I'm more interested in seeing what the world would be like in a thousand years.

daring marlin

What religion will dominate. šŸ¤”

That seems inaccurate

sick sentinel

6700 taxis

since swapping to horde

toxic pewter

what u like more horde or alliance

strong forum

imagine taking mage portals or getting summoned

#

youre not reliably above 70%

toxic pewter
#

fuk

#

i was actually sort of excited to use it for a change

cosmic wyvern
#

so just don't use it

toxic pewter
#

lol

strong forum
#

cuz its turbo bad for tanks rn

#

always was turbo bad

#

in 10.2 its less turbo bad

toxic pewter
#

Yeah makes sense we takin a lot of damage in these ptr dungeons if I say so

strong forum
#

but you need to be consistently above 70% for it to be worth

cosmic wyvern
#

yeah in content where the effect matters, you're never gonna be capped off for long

#

unless you're in raid and you don't have aggro at the moment but

#

at that point you don't really need the effect lmao

strong forum
#

well its not about needing the effect

#

its the fact that you get 2.5% vers when above 70% hp

#

so its more dmg

cosmic wyvern
#

but unfortunately its less dmg than the patch

strong forum
#

its purely just about dmg output

#

unreliable thus less dmg

cosmic wyvern
#

still I mean if you're not pushing cutting edge or super high keys just use whatever you want

strong forum
#

combined both SFs are still 4.4% dmg assuming perfect play and perfect gear

#

which hardly anyone will pull off

toxic pewter
#

oh interesting.. first raid boss drops a shield again this time...

strong forum
#

so SF is vastly better for most

daring marlin
#

any lariat enjoyers?

strong forum
#

because SF doesnt care about you playing well

#

it does its dmg

daring marlin
cosmic wyvern
#

like you can use one of the embellished shields if you really want

strong forum
#

no

#

not next patch

#

crafted items are 3ilvl lower than vault/mythic raid

cosmic wyvern
#

it'll be ass (sad unfortunately) but again, unless you're pushing high end content it won't really matter

strong forum
#

well yeah that caveat always exists

cosmic wyvern
strong forum
#

no

#

all

#

max vault and mythic raid items

#

are upgradable to 489

#

the only items who have higher ilvl are the super rare trinkets from fyrakk

#

everything else goes to 489

#

crafted items go to 486

cosmic wyvern
#

m+ vault from 20s is the same as mythic crafted gear

strong forum
#

no

#

m+ vaul items are on the myth track

#

myth track goes to 489

cosmic wyvern
strong forum
#

yes

#

it drops at 483 from vault

#

AND YOU CAN THEN UPGRADE IT

#

to 489

#

same goes for raid

toxic pewter
#

nice

strong forum
#

they start dropping at 480

#

and are upgradable to 489

#

via myth track

toxic pewter
#

ya a +18 will give 489 right

toxic pewter
#

ok 18 nice

#

but rather do a 20 dont want to waste the crests

#

at least early on

lusty grotto
#

you can turn lower crests into higher ones

#

in the patch

#

and higher into lower, as it is now

#

so both options exist

#

it will never be a waste to run lower content

cosmic wyvern
#

I was aiming for like 15s week 1, 20s sound like they'd be possible but also would require I go do all the keys on ptr first to learn them + somehow find a stable reliable group for pushing high keys that early in the season full of people who did the same

lusty grotto
#

since caps exist

cosmic wyvern
#

and that's really not feasible

strong forum
#

eh

#

assuming the tuning stays the same, shouldnt be that challenging

toxic pewter
#

wtf is this neck

cosmic wyvern
strong forum
#

it exclusively absorbs that magic type aswell

toxic pewter
#

yeah weird item.. i guess trinkets can proc half of it or somethin

strong forum
#

its just irrelevant

toxic pewter
#

yeah that neck sucks ass dang

cosmic wyvern
#

actually shadowflame wreath does shadow+fire damage

#

so you could activate that one

#

but how many enemies in current content actually deal nature damage

strong forum
#

any dungeon that does poison or disease dmg

lusty grotto
#

cause we used UFFB specifically to proc eranog ring

toxic pewter

is eranog ring any good in 10.2

cosmic wyvern
toxic pewter
#

im bring it back boiys

strong forum
#

is that a real question?

toxic pewter
#

hmmm

#

it can still prob do some st dam

strong forum
#

it already loses to 447 socketed rings in some cases even lower

#

it sure as shit cant beat 489s

toxic pewter

yeah it was bad question sadge

daring marlin

wewlad

toxic pewter
#

why

daring marlin
#

radiant damage is fire and holy

strong forum

we love 2.5khps absorb shield to specific dmg schools!!

toxic pewter
#

dont paladins do some sort of holy fire damage these days

#

ok right

#

do brewmasters do any nature damage

#

cuz i know they do fire

lusty grotto

shamans/rogues

cosmic wyvern
#

beer is kinda nature right

toxic pewter
#

exploding keg is fire iirc

#

i think their resonant fists is nature

#

now that I think about it

teal swift

Fire earth?

waxen frigate
#

RJW is nature and that’s basically constant

toxic pewter

Oh ya that’s right

waxen frigate
#

Chi surge is nature

If ur cringe and play pta I think that’s nature

toxic pewter

What’s pta

waxen frigate

Press the advantage

toxic pewter

Oh new thing

waxen frigate
#

The bottom right

toxic pewter
#

Right

waxen frigate
#

Passive

toxic pewter
#

Wait do people not play that

waxen frigate
#

People do

#

It’s not good though

#

It’s super buggy, turbo gimps your single target, and makes the spec play very cringe imo

#

But the last part is just personal opinion

#

People play it bc they like the passive option

toxic pewter
#

Do people play the new defensive passives they added

#

For the magic damage and the dodge

waxen frigate
#

the dodge one is very good in most keys atm

#

the magic one... ehh

#

its not great

toxic pewter

Is there a WA for tracking bombs on Zskarn?

bleak breach
#

I’d love to watch you in live Q&A for blizzcon apb

bleak breach
#

In the liquid WA pack it shows how many bomb debuffs you have

jagged gust
#

Does it also show the current bombs on the floor?

bleak breach
#

Not sure to be honest, I’ve never taken that much notice. The Liquid WA pack and anchor pack is definitely the best packs to run for mythic though.

jagged gust
#

I'm fairly certain that's what I'm using, at least I think I got all my WA's from their site

#

I just want an easy way to call them out and not have to scout constantly

toxic pewter
bleak breach
#

Probably a hard fight to RL as tank

#

Ideally you want a rdps because they can see where the bombs go

jagged gust

Yeah but we're uh... Limited in our options

Some real wild west bullshit going on in our ranks

Usually about some intricate lore detail or issue lmao

bro what the fuck

#

matt perry died??

toxic pewter
#

Oh wow..

#

Rip chandler

#

Sad news

teal swift
#

Wait really?

#

No friends reboot in 2027?

#

He drowned in a hottub

#

Wtf did he take

toxic pewter
#

Whoa buddy he just died no need to immediately say he was on drugs

teal swift
#

He drowned in a hot tub

#

Either he had a stroke or he was on something, or some other option I'm not seeing

toxic pewter
#

? People drown all the time. It’s just tragic death

teal swift
#

Not in hot tubs

#

Pretty sure the number of people drowning in hot tubs ... Are astronomically low

#

It's not like he went swimming in a pool or the ocean

toxic pewter
#

People have drowned in bath tubs

#

Either way the hot tub he had is quite large looking based on his last Instagram post

teal swift
#

Yes

#

Idk 35 deaths per yearr, roughly from hot tub drownings

toxic pewter
#

Plus they mentioned cardiac arrest so it’s possible he even have a heart attack

teal swift
#

That's half the rate of reported shark attacks

toxic pewter
#

Not sure if it was heart first or drown first

teal swift
#

All I saw was "guy drowned in hot tub" if it was a cardiac arrest, a fall

toxic pewter
#

Prob heart

teal swift
#

A stroke, an OD

#

Then ye, just randomly drowning in hot tub is about as half as likely as being attacked by a shark :/

toxic pewter
#

Could have even been from heat related. If you are in hot water too long it can kill you

teal swift
#

Yeah, they just used language like apparent drowning.

So when the entire set of details is released

#

It will make more sense

#

Still rip Mathew Perry 😦

#

Veronica must be devestated

brave citrus
#

He just got back from pickleball. Could be just a heart attack

waxen frigate
#

Which i believe he was known to have

#

Hot tubs/saunas/baths, anything where you can’t effectively release heat via sweating

#

So probably a heart attack that led to drowning

brave citrus
#

Plus he had the rough patch, so his health may not have been super already

I’m not even a league fan and walked into it with low expectations

I started watching it because mortdog was like "This show is the shiznit"

daring marlin

I tell all my friends to watch it too "but I don't even like League". WELL DO IT ANYWAY

and it indeed, was the shiznit

But the first like 2 episodes were a real slog for me

im a dota2 guy and i watched and liked it

Blood of Zeus was also good

I had to make Alliance characters specifically to play with Alliance people

that's why i now have two wars

Respect for you and your affinity for orcs

I like vulpera xD

those are the only orcs

my warrior was human in vanilla, then orc in WoD up until this season where i swapped to dwarf

I just play the race that makes me happy

And for me that's vulpera on everything that can be vulpera xD

lusty grotto

well i wanted to go back to alliance anyway, but my guild swapped in WoD so we were stuck like that until they put in cross faction guilds this season

i almost did it in SL S4 but

Uuuh, probably more a script than a setting

I just use a weakaura

#

Targeted spells

ivory elbow
#

yeah in dungeons usually shows who is casting on you

#

if its on u or allies

grand veldt
#

So it's like less dps and you use a stop very poorly on cd

waxen orbit
#

Is there an aura to track for the new tier/a WA for it?

#

I like to have clear WeakAuras of all of my data centralized on my screen just because of how I intake information

strong forum
#

pins

chilly brook
#

Do you actually need a WA for the set?

blissful iris
#

ima just set it and forget it yep

chilly brook
#

Seems fairly simple no?

blissful iris
#

literally just shield slam things

strong forum
#

being aware that your next shield slam resets TC and that rend isnt present on your current target is very helpful

#

it also helps you with not oversending IP

#

because if you have a proc ready you kinda dont wanna send IP

waxen orbit
#

I checked pins I can't find it

#

Lemme read again

copper lion
#

does anybody know how to get the PTR MDT?

strong forum
#

scroll all they way down

toxic pewter
#

IP has a 90% proc rate of the tier set

strong forum
toxic pewter

so the wa is def helpful

waxen orbit

Got it it's the updated post

Mb thought it would be a recent

copper lion

yeah

hes writing it

its his addon

you can maybe get a beta version of it

copper lion

how

strong forum
#

but i dont think theres a released version of it

copper lion
#

I saw curseforge and it doesn't have a beta there

toxic pewter
#

I mean it will be released when the patch comes dont really need it for ptr anyway

strong forum
#

the dungeons are hold W anyway

#

the only dungeon where you can do any route is WCM and Everbloom to a small degree

#

everything else is literally just hold W

#

and Atal is just the same as BFA

#

and BFA MDT already exists

#

like doing routes for s3 keys are a massive meme unless youll want to push WF keys

waxen orbit
#

I miss SL routing

chilly brook
strong forum
#

i have it blacklisted on my plater and stuff

#

same with deepwounds

#

cuz wasnt relevant until 10.2 on prot

#

but i can guarantee you, having the actual feedback of having your next SS proc reset TC and consume bleed

#

is very helping

toxic pewter
#

your IP/SS macro is doing great work also with this new tier set lol, it seems to work well with this tier

strong forum
#

yessir

toxic pewter
#

highly recommend everyone to use it

#

with the WA

#

might be a dumb question, but how do you view a full fervid proc SS fitting into the rotation.. should I send it before a shield charge or ravager for example if they both are available at the same time (I realize its like 1 global difference in some cases and prob does not matter in big picture)

#

like just how important is it to get the tier proc off in s3, it seems really strong to prio is pretty highly

strong forum
#

i can play around in APL i guess

#

lemme check if theres dps to be gained if we prio fervid proc SS over CDs

toxic pewter
#

I feel like i still will want to hit CDs over it but the timing for the fervid is so fast paced sometimes its like I want to keep it rolling for my next fervid O_O

strong forum
#

seems like putting SS after TR is a 250dps gain

#

actions+=/ravager actions+=/demoralizing_shout,if=talent.booming_voice.enabled actions+=/spear_of_bastion actions+=/thunderous_roar actions+=/shield_slam,if=buff.fervid.up actions+=/shockwave,if=talent.sonic_boom.enabled&buff.avatar.up&talent.unstoppable_force.enabled&!talent.rumbling_earth.enabled|talent.sonic_boom.enabled&talent.rumbling_earth.enabled&spell_targets.shockwave>=3 actions+=/shield_charge

that makes sense cuz fervid procs the TR bleed

So Idk if Details is busted but like

Cataclysmic Signet is doing about as much damage as Sidearm on my overall

before it goes absolutely insanity dmg

if you dont keep it at 15 stacks its shit

waxen orbit
#

Is there a method to keeping it at 15 stacks?

strong forum
#

if you can maintain 15 stacks of it, it does like 12k dps

#

yeah by staying in combat

waxen orbit

Weird I figured that was what it was

#

May have just been because our group wiped like 5 times testing shit

strong forum
#

well yeha

waxen orbit

that doesnt help whatsoever

takes like 3min to stack to full

and then it goes brr

waxen orbit

Got it so def a raid trinket, more like a meme key trinket in M+

strong forum

other way around

its better in m+ than in raid

waxen orbit

Tho I usually chainpull for infinity

#

Oh then perfect for me

strong forum

in raid you need long fights

#

if the fights are short, other trinkets win

if the fights are long, its just gonna go insanity

waxen orbit

Right right and on reclear they'll shorten with time naturally

Makes sense

wish it was 30 seconds and not 15 seconds.. one of the more punishing trinkets if it falls off even once sadge

chilly brook

Anvil is 15 seconds as well

toxic pewter
#

well with anvil could at least extend it with the on use

chilly brook

But 15 seconds is a long time to go without pulling something

I mean certain dungeons can suck.. black rook hold for instance with the winding staircases

dodging those boulders and shit.. may drop off there

youre guaranteed to lose it after 1st boss in BRH unless you grab yellow mobs i guess and spam taunt

like rogue is turbo broken dont let the dps propaganda tell you otherwise

like rogue is absolutely turbo nut

altho i dont think that blind DR works on bosses

so useless there

toxic pewter

seems really strong in m+ thats for sure every 1 minute can use it also

from what i gather

why the give rogues even more group utility like wat the fuk is going on here O_O

cuz rogue wasnt meta for 1 season

they gain a talent they can pick instead of tricks, where blind applies a 30% DR for 6sec

oh it's baseline tree

and since they gain aoe blind

šŸ™‚

sudden grotto
#

yea

#

when i saw it it was like

#

stun aoe

#

blind aoe for another spec or wtv

#

it was weird

#

then they capped i think outlaw again

hardy snow
#

it sounds like PvP talent

sick sentinel
#

6 seconds is a tiny window but the amount is good

#

the amount of the effect % this is

strong forum
#

6sec on demand 30% DR on every mob in the pull

#

kinda large

toxic pewter
#

its just wild they have a 6 sec 30% dr on a 1 minute cd... meanwhile rally 10% max hp for 10 seconds on a 3 minute cd. Like what world is that appropriately balanced?

sick sentinel
#

okay, so, sap required stealth right and you have to be out of combat

#

and its after the blind or sap fades from the target

#

so you only get 1 from sap max, and then blind is single target as well

#

and blind is some sort of cd more than 30 seconds at the very least

toxic pewter
#

yeah the blind duration is 30 seconds, true, but it will apply if the blind is broken which will occur instantly

sick sentinel
#

so, its a tiny window, hardly any uptime %, its more about you have to use it at the correct timing for it to be "good"

strong forum
#

yeah doesnt work on CC immune targets

sick sentinel
#

yeah, thats what im getting at

strong forum
#

still broken af for large pulls

sick sentinel
#

most mobs you can sap and blind anyways, wont have meaningful healing on them

#

it will be good for certain boss adds

#

it will be good for casters CC general on trash

#

but it wont be amazing

#

i've tempered my expectation personally

pallid quiver
#

Have sims or any other efforts shown how big of a difference there is between Augury and Rageheart, Nome? I'm trying to think of which I should aim to get, because I wager in pugs it'd be easier to roll for Rageheart since I'm guessing you can only roll it in tank spec

sick sentinel
#

it would be good for MDI

#

it would be good for 25 keys

#

i have zero hopes of doing either

#

negative even

strong forum
#

diff is 1.2k aka 0.7% dps in favour of augury sim wise

#

i think season

#

actually...

#

i think we did have sparks in pre-season didnt we?

#

in 10.0

#

cuz i remember people grinding renown

#

for that early upgrade

#

yea

#

sounds plausible atleast

toxic pewter
#

full spark week 1 of patch

#

this is guide for help with upgrading and crap if anyone want

strong forum
#

The current conversion rates are 90 lower Crests -> 15 upper Crests, (Updated Oct 23) however, Blizzard has decided to make this count against the upper cap making this trade up completely useless for us.

#

thats so pointless

#

šŸ‘

#

or well

#

i guess not entirely pointless

#

cuz if you do heroic raid you can still convert those crests into mythic ones

#

so you dont have to spam 17+ for crests itself

toxic pewter
#

as far as I can tell dont need enchanters to make profession gear.. nice lol

#

tired of having to track down enchanters and crap for that

trim pumice
#

yeah no clue why the upgrade counts against cap, literally one per week isn’t going to break the game

toxic pewter
#

its probably to prevent degenerate behavior

toxic pewter
#

yah as far as I can tell will cost 60 crests and buy from some vendor

#

still will need prof to craft the item, obviously

uneven mason
#

Because the fact I had to track down some enchanter to use my blacksmithing

#

Was fucking obnoxious

toxic pewter
#

yep, just was annoying buying the mats and crap too

#

plus everyone expects a tip lmao

warm plinth
#

Oh no, they want gold for the work they do? Weird!

toxic pewter
#

Lol

#

I will stop before I start on tipping culture

#

for the sake of the discord

warm plinth
#

Except it's not actually a tip. It's you deciding to pay for the item that is otherwise free.

toxic pewter
#

?

#

if it is a fee they will say it costs X amount

#

that is different than a tip

warm plinth
#

When's the last time someone charged an actual fee for a crest

toxic pewter
#

thats my point

warm plinth
#

They say tip whatever right?

toxic pewter
#

right

#

so there is no expectation whatsoever

#

tipping 0 is just as moral as tipping a million

#

in that situation

warm plinth
#

Sure, if you're a cheap ass who wasn't raised to be grateful

toxic pewter
#

lol, right, that judgment portion is the crux of the debate

#

not the act of tipping itself

warm plinth
#

No because we aren't talking about adding on to an already existing charge.

toxic pewter
#

the existing charge is a fee... there is a moral obligation to pay that

warm plinth
#

I am aware of what a fee is.

#

And like I said, when was the last time someone actually charged a fee for a crest

toxic pewter
#

people do charge fees sometimes

#

but mostly it is free

#

with any tip appreciated

#

prob 95% free

warm plinth
#

Regardless, in the sense that it is free, you're bitching about "expecting a tip"

#

But you just said there was no expectation. So which is it?

toxic pewter
#

i am not sure I follow

warm plinth
#

So is there an expectation, or isn't there

toxic pewter
#

There is an expectation, sure, but there is requirement

warm plinth
#

Right, there is no requirement. If you don't want to tip, you don't have to. Which makes it super weird to complain about people expecting a tip doesn't it?

toxic pewter
#

It is more weird that the sellers act like it is a requirement when they are actually really expecting it.. they should just charge a fee

#

I have seen it time and time again

warm plinth
#

If you come across the rare enchanter who charges a fee for their crests

#

What would you do

#

Because I know what pretty much every person I know would do

toxic pewter
#

well supply and demand dictates my actions of course

#

cannot get around effective laws of economics, lol

warm plinth
#

That's not an answer

#

what would you do

toxic pewter
#

wat u mean

warm plinth
#

If you asked for a crest, and an enchanter whispered you e.g. 1k for crest

hazy bronze
#

Do you like Milton Friedman?

warm plinth
#

Are you getting a crest from them?

toxic pewter
#

I have tipped 1k for crests even

warm plinth
#

So then again, is it not super weird for one of your complaints to be the expectation of a tip?

toxic pewter
#

I accept the situation revolving around the 'expectation of the tip'

#

the real conversation is about the morality of the judgment portion of tipping and tipping culture

warm plinth
#

Except, it's a tip in name only in this context

#

Because in the real world, a tip is an extra amount of money on top of an already existing fee.

toxic pewter
#

There is an existing fee in the wow situation also

warm plinth
#

In WoW, the tip we're talking about is you volunteering to give something for a product instead of nothing.

toxic pewter
#

that fee is $0

warm plinth
#

You realize that zero is literally the absence of something

toxic pewter
#

No

#

it is a fee equalling a non existing amount

warm plinth
#

So if I have zero dollars, I have money?

toxic pewter
#

you have zero dollars, yes you have zero amount of money

warm plinth
#

what

toxic pewter
#

the concept of money encompasses all numbers/numerals

hazy bronze
#

Absolutely not

#

When would you ever have an irrational amount of money?

toxic pewter
#

what you mean

#

money is a concept

#

can you not conceptualize a zero amount of money

strong forum
#

strong forum
#

its straight up the new beacon except it also gives DPS and Healers basically an immunity for 20sec on a 1.5min CD

hardy snow
#

how it makes them immune?

strong forum
#

its an 800k shield

#

(which does remove itself by 80% through self dmg)

#

but for dps this is still massive

#

cuz its not a big dps loss to run

pallid quiver
#

You can also just tank a massive mechanic, and then heal off the self damage

#

since the removal is over like 10 seconds

strong forum
#

its basically stagger

pallid quiver
#

^^^

hardy snow
#

so its only 160k shield peepostudy

strong forum
#

but only if you actually break the shield

#

well it starts at as an 800k shield

pallid quiver
#

It's also only a 1.5 min CD, so it'd be mega useful

strong forum
#

and it loses 100k every 2 seconds for 10 seconds

unless they've changed that part on me

I want the heart trinket myself, I just enjoy that feeling of having almost like an immolation aura where I just do continual damage, that is actually fun to me

fickle ingot

Why do we not stay in defensive stance if tank dam doesn’t matter?

#

Kinda weird if you ask me

toxic pewter
#

who says tank dam doesn't matter?

fickle ingot
#

People

toxic pewter
#

those people are incorrect

fickle ingot
#

@oblique garnet does tank dam matter

pallid quiver
#

The only reason people shit on tank dam is because they're insecure about the fact they're getting out DPS'd by tanks
there's more reasons, but they're all incorrect ways of looking at the game

fickle ingot
#

LOL

jagged gust
#

Imagine seeing a tank pulling 35k DPS, realize they're capable of more than double that damage ST

#

Now imagine seeing a DPS pull 80k DPS when they could be doing 120

#

It's the same thing

fickle ingot
#

perhaps

jagged gust
#

Doing 5% less damage would be like coming to raid with zero enchants, it's just silly

hardy snow
#

tank is just dps with different mechanics wicked

fickle ingot
#

What if I said tank dam in raid doesn’t matter

#

Only in keys

pallid quiver
#

dam is still dam

hardy snow
#

ive seen to many ~0.1-0.2% wipes with tank doing 20-30k less dps than he could, thus causing lack of kill

pallid quiver
#

And it matters more in raid because aggro is tied to damage, so if you have tank A pulling 20k, and tank B pulling 60k,

fickle ingot
#

I know this one

#

The difference is 40k

pallid quiver

jagged gust
#

Mythic Kaz really was some bs this tier

hardy snow
#

also currently for most tanks good offense also means good deffense

bleak breach
#

Tank damage 100% matters

#

I’d say in 99% of cases too, the best tanks are doing the most damage. You don’t really have to give up defensive ability to do damage, it’s just the better players do more. Normally the more damage I’m doing, the more ip I’m using and rage I’m generating.

uneven mason

Tanks are more or less designed in DF that optimized offensive play = optimized defensive play

7.1.5 was when devastator became good i think
