#

then i can run the same 3 next week + one more for 70 points and be done

blazing condor
#

whats ur current level for them?

#

you could just do other dungeons higher as well

#

id rather do a 20 anything over an 18 uldaman

nimble skiff
#

every 19 i got into died at first boss so i'm pretty weary of going there

#

one sec

blazing condor
#

the difference between key level really isnt big

nimble skiff
#

do i need a tanking trinket for 18/19?

blazing condor
#

no

strong forum
#

absolutely not

blazing condor
#

at 435 ilvl you dont need anything really

strong forum
#

you dont need a tanking trinket for 28s

blazing condor
#

m+ at that level is moreso just knowing the dungeons

#

and what mobs/bosses do what

#

and being comfortable with that

#

its not about squeezing the most out of your class and toolkit to survive

strong forum
#

18s and keys like that

#

are just

#

get a clean run

#

dont do crazy shit

#

dont do dumb shit

#

and if your dps players arent monkeys

#

the key is timed comfortably

blazing condor
#

you can 100% just pull pack to pack and not try any wacky strats

strong forum
#

(this will work until 25s btw)

blazing condor
#

granted ur dps is actually doing normal dps

strong forum
#

what matters is a clean run

#

not a rushed "i have to play like high keys" run

blazing condor
#

even for neltharus you wont need any big chain pulls

#

you can just play it normally and youll time

#

even though its obv optimal to try and chain

#

but no need to pull the entire room for a chain pull

nimble skiff
#

any other dungeon ont hat list you think would be better than uld to run

blazing condor
#

i mean any other dungeon is easier

#

but depends on what youve already done

nimble skiff
#

dps all dungeons, tanked? none just gonna giver

#

was gonna take it slow next season and learn but i'm pretty rattled that i don't care. trial by fire

strong forum
#

every dungeon is probably easier than uldaman for a weekly key

#

maybe bar hoi

#

hoi and uldaman are probably the "hardest" weekly keys

nimble skiff
#

okay cool. maybe i'll do a 19 FH and a 17 uld to offset it

toxic pewter
#

ele shammy super fun on the ptr btw

#

if anyone want to try a new ranged spec

strong forum
#

elesham is the ranged spec that plays the least like a caster

#

thats why its fun

toxic pewter
#

yah the lava burst playstyle so fun to me

torn gulch
#

i wonder if you have 2k flightstones on a char will they be reset next week?

strong forum
#

id think so?

torn gulch
#

it is a currency i know crests will be gray

#

but on ptr i still have all my flighstones

toxic pewter
#

yah flightstones seem to span patches.. interesting

torn gulch
#

i mean with how easy is to farm flightstones i don't see the point of resseting them

#

you are bottlenecked by crests anyway

toxic pewter
#

yup

torn gulch
#

i want to raise my alts quikly next week to 437 with flighstones and if they allow whelpling week one like in 10.1 i will be able to craft 3 447 items

#

to boost my alts

strong forum
#

437s should just drop from doing the questline in 10.2

torn gulch
#

not directly

#

they drop on the explorer track

#

and you have to upgrade them to 437 with flighstones

strong forum
#

ic

torn gulch
#

from campaign world quests rares treasures

#

that's how i want to get some of my alts to par next week

#

and hopefully we can get whelpling week 1

#

so i can do some 447 gear

#

plus another 441 piece from the weekly quest and 441 from first superbloom of the week

#

gearing alts quick and dirty

strong forum
#

me just speedrun quest

#

no time to look at loot

#

just fast

torn gulch
#

you don't need it

#

that's why

#

don't care for it

strong forum
hardy snow
#

if you're staying up remember to ask for externals from healers right before they go down, monk's bubble+sac from paladin is great combo for that

sick sentinel
#

camera man to the hc tournament died lol

strong forum
#

lol?

sick sentinel
#

he got bombed

#

some random engi or quest bomb

strong forum

jagged gust
#

That's fucking hilarious

sharp ruin
#

my fear guys is for the everbloom key xD

torn gulch
#

eh no fear we go in we time we go next key

sharp ruin
#

we can't handle that number of kicks , in pugs we will never get taked for that key

strong forum
#

everyone will hate everbloom

#

past 2nd boss that dungeon is just cursed

blazing condor
#

isnt everbloom at least kinda short

#

i dont really remember

sharp ruin
#

people will always take ppala or vdh , we will be avoided for every everbloom i think xD

strong forum
#

pwar is one of the better tanks for everbloom though

#

VDH silence sigil doesnt work as silence on the casters

toxic pewter
#

everbloom scary

strong forum
#

only as interrupt

sharp ruin
#

i mean packs before 3rd boss

strong forum
#

yeah

#

silence sigil doesnt work

#

its only an interrupt there

sharp ruin
#

oh , so just ppala xD

strong forum
#

not a silence

blazing condor
#

cant we just line spell reflects on caster packs

sharp ruin
#

we will see , anyway prot warr looks pretty solid and i love it

#

the 2 dungeons that scary me are everbloom and throne of the tides

#

i didn't test the 2 new dungeons

shut summit
#

upper dawn basically every boss and everbloom council boss were the only ones that super felt bad to me on warr

blazing condor
#

cant wait to get my shit rocked by a chromie frontal

strong forum
#

its physical

#

i think

blazing condor
#

oh nvm then

sharp ruin
#

council boss is just for every tank i see xD

#

and upper dawn idk , i hope they will fix the damage of that dungeon

strong forum
#

ye sand blast is physical

#

cant block it, but armor works

#

so gucci

sharp ruin
#

looks so overtuned

blazing condor
#

its gonna get fixed for sure

strong forum
#

mega dungeons got nerfed alot

#

theyre just shit mechanically

blazing condor
#

mythic mega dungeons hurt

strong forum
#

no longer as overtuned

#

just shit mechanics

toxic pewter
#

any idea if spell block works better against last boss of dawn upper

strong forum
#

you block the frontal

#

so thats useful

toxic pewter
#

the dot still not blockable right

shut summit
#

it was hittin me for 700k in a 20 tyran

strong forum
#

dot isnt disgusting anymore, still annoying tho

shut summit
#

but its been nerfed i think since then, not sure aint been followin too close

#

chromie frontal that is

toxic pewter
#

ok thats good to know

blazing condor
#

chromie frontal would hurt on normal mythic on live so imagined it would hurt in m+

#

but last boss probably the worst

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, the Chromie frontal does a lot more damage than you think it would for being physical

toxic pewter
#

crap whcih dawn we talking about

trim pumice
#

Yeah i only tested all the dungeons on 20 but last 3 in upper mega just wrecked

strong forum
#

well yeah but better than magic lol

toxic pewter
#

i think i confused myself

pallid quiver
#

Last boss adds should still slap a bit, I wager, especially with breath existing

strong forum
#

yeah upper is just not a good key for us

blazing condor
#

i think spell block for ads + frontal on last boss is gonna be good

toxic pewter
#

is upper the last bosses or first bosses

strong forum
#

last

toxic pewter
#

Ok

strong forum
#

upper is always the 2nd part

toxic pewter
#

yes

strong forum
#

lower the 1st part

trim pumice
#

and the dog packs in throne were not fun at all

strong forum
#

thats established jargon

#

dogs have also been nerfed

sharp ruin
#

i hope and think dogs and upper doti will be nerfed

strong forum
#

and since you always play aug

#

you will have a bleed cleanse

#
  • dwarf/bop
shut summit
#

last boss breath hit me for 730k with 230k dot ticks every 1sec

strong forum
#

lovely

blazing condor
#

fun okayge

shut summit
#

it was insane, again think its been nerfed some but ya

pallid quiver
#

@shut summit By the way, did you see if you could still outrange the Deios frontal in PTR?

shut summit
#

didnt try

sharp ruin
#

i really really hope they nerf it more and more

#

this dungeon sucks

pallid quiver
#

It'd help a ton if you still can, since you can currently leap every other breath

#

awkward to not kill your dps with the breath if you're bad like me, tho

lusty grotto
#

random 3600 io alt

shut summit
#

the fuckin decapitate on the alliance/horde boss or w/e it is, is a double hit unblockable that does 370k each

strong forum
#

you do both

shut summit
#

and he can auto attack and do his aoe shout in the same global

blazing condor
#

what you actually do is make sure the frogs are in the circle

shut summit
#

the whole dungeon royally sucks ass for us

blazing condor
#

and u press reflect

lusty grotto
#

you KITE THE FROG BOSS as a tank on 21 HOI? LMAO

strong forum
#

not kite kite

#

but move him onto frogs

trim pumice
#

Yeah the commander boss fucking trucks i thought it wouldn’t be that bad

strong forum
#

and group also moves frogs onto boss

lusty grotto
#

bro

#

i have never

sharp ruin
#

is not possible that this bosses hit that hard , or just maybe VDH can tank iut

lusty grotto
#

the only fucking idiot that didnt kite their frogs was that dumbass boomy

sharp ruin
#

it*

pallid quiver
#

Mechanically, Battlefield ain't really a boss

#

It just hits hard

blazing condor
#

realistically the group should be positioned well enough so you dont have to kite boss to a ranged player

lusty grotto
#

ive done 25s

blazing condor
#

and ppl should just cc/make it easy for you to just stand there

lusty grotto
#

i have fucking never

blazing condor
#

but if that aint happening

lusty grotto
#

and also when he said that

#

the priest healer was dead

#

and he was typing

#

thats why he got blasted

#

by "why arent you brezzing"

#

like you expect people to stack for frogs

#

but i wasnt on his ass about it

shut summit
#

the everbloom council boss does a magic dmg charge every ~13secs and was doing almost 800k, and the puddle that spawns after can instant tick as well

blazing condor
#

cant wait for many hotfixes

shut summit
#

yup

sharp ruin
#

yeah this 2 dungeons will be hotfixed for sure

#

and we will shine

#

prot warr will be great again

#

❤️

daring marlin
#

...you get what you fuckin' deserve 🔫 @lusty grotto

strong forum
#

we are already shining

shut summit
#

everything else was super fine

#

just what i listed are pain points

sharp ruin
#

but still playable?

shut summit
#

in 20s ya absolutely, scaled to 440 and it was doable

strong forum
#

andy did 29s

shut summit
#

i just know pushing keys in those ones will be pain

strong forum
#

with 440 ilvl

#

y'all be fine

hazy bronze
#

Me and my homies love instatick

sharp ruin
#

so i think with 480 ilevel we will be fine in a 26-27-28 too

pallid quiver
#

If they keep beeing able to leap breath on Deios, at least that shouldn't be toooo bad if you lus adds, since you can have Shield Wall up for every breath you do take other than the 2nd one in the fight, iirc

sharp ruin
#

playing good

#

and using well our defensives

strong forum
#

scaling on PTR is to s2 values

#

hence also the 440ilvl

#

so like

#

its omega fine

#

just need to adjust numbers on everbloom and mega dungeon

#

cuz every tank hates those

sharp ruin
#

yeah

#

finally good notices for us

#

and our tear set finally is balanced and good

#

and is ST we do big dam

#

so in raid we will be a very good choice too

strong forum
#

if you include all degen stuff

#

we're 4th in ST

#

but thats assuming absolute mega max potential

#

which is unrealistic for 2 of the tanks above us

sharp ruin
#

i love it

pallid quiver
#

So you're telling me I just need to buy myself a pet Enha and I'm gamin'?

strong forum
#

oh yeah absolutely

#

enha is 7k dps for us

sharp ruin
#

i will force my friend in my guild to play enha

#

if he didn't i go beat him up xD

strong forum
#

like, pwar is one of the best classes for WFT

#

(assuming you also play that well)

pallid quiver
#

Guess I might look into running my own pug raids this season then

sharp ruin
#

i do a 200k shield slam in his ass xD

pallid quiver
#

Oh, I know. Just the pugs don't agree

strong forum
#

any guild who doesnt put pwar in the WFT group for raid is just trolling

#

or you have 4 arms warriors

pallid quiver
#

"lmao ur a tank"

gives wft to ret

sharp ruin

i do group in my raid so easy xD

but the officers and the gms wife has to get the buffs

which, depends where you live might be a posibility in our lifetime

Possibly a dumb question, between Shield wall and Last stand, which gets pushed more often?

strong forum

currently, last stand

cuz tierset

next patch, shield wall

I logged to do a 20 for weekly, hunter does 2k more dps than me, doesn't lusts, at least was kicking things, third top dmg was beacon

Healer got so mad she left last boss because he wasn't using any defensives nor dpsing the last boss VP add enough

Enough wow for the week for me

Any ideas what embels are looking like or prot? Versi Wrists and sporecloak?

bleak breach
#

Damn, I haven’t done that since legion

#

I think I did prot/fury and arms

jagged gust
#

fury/arms are super easy, prot took me like 12k in repair bills

bleak breach
#

Can’t remember how long it took me, but think it was only a few attempts. Although I did it at end of tier so was probably overgeared by then

pallid quiver
#

It's mostly just don't get knocked off or commit suicide on the max HP reduction of P1

zinc iris
# lusty grotto no

Ngl idk what they are now I just have been using my Arms gear for Prot

pallid quiver
#

Due to spell reflect making you immortal to everything but one shots in P2, you really just have to not get knocked off

zinc iris
#

Its good enough since I only tank up to 22's

pallid quiver
#

So if you know the mechs/can handle them, it's easy

#

If you don't, you have a terrible time

lusty grotto
#

arms and prot share the same stats

#

same embelishments

zinc iris
#

I am a Fury main but I got arms gear for raid prog and then just used it for Prot too

lusty grotto
#

same trinkets at times minus OCE if you dont have a full group

zinc iris
#

I have been using Anvil, Dargrul

lusty grotto
#

yeah those are good

zinc iris
#

for prot that is

#

OCE and Anvil on both fury and arms

lusty grotto
#

anvil beacon preferably

zinc iris
#

I should have a mythic beacon but my raid stopped sark prog :/

lusty grotto
#

could just sim it

#

but heroic beacon could be great

#

especially for totem/add bosses

zinc iris
#

idk howI @'d that person but I meant to say we stopped @ 33%

lusty grotto
#

and especially for big pulls

zinc iris
#

I honestly never rolled on any beacons from heroic on warrior since I am a fury main and fury is gigachad and doesnt need damage trinks

#

only stat trinks here okayge

lusty grotto
#

thats fine

#

they work well anyway

zinc iris
#

We are just gonna ignore the fact that anvil is a damage trink but that doesnt matter

#

Cause Fury okayge

lusty grotto
#

ye

zinc iris
#

So we still run double shadowflame for pushing keys?

#

Cause prot seems > fury next tier for key pushing

lusty grotto
#

or belt and sf

#

either combo is fine

zinc iris
#

I love me some SkS prot Troar CDR shenanigans

#

Not using Last Stand for damage feels nice

#

I hate this tierset ngl

pallid quiver
#

I don't mind it since Last Stand's a fairly mid defensive CD, anyhow

zinc iris
#

Like the Sheild Slam reducing like all your CDs is nice but the 4set feels meh, having damage tied to last stand just feels odd

#

I suppose Last stand is pretty weak

#

Its mostly just an oh shit button ngl

pallid quiver

you can also use it to get a bit of a bigger health pool before a hit and to make Imp Victory heal for more when you press it

zinc iris
#

Honestly never thought of that

#

Thats kinda big, niche but big

#

I only M+ tank and so far only up to 22s so I havent really had to master the class that much

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, definitely not useless, but not like the strongest CD around

zinc iris
#

I just like Spell Reflect xan

lusty grotto
#

last stand isnt even an oh shit button

#

its fairly weak

#

so having play this season is good

#

and serving as a throwback to BFA

pallid quiver
#

and SL, like S3/4 SL

#

since we used it on CD for the rage gen to fuel banner

lusty grotto
#

well thats true

I only started playing fury war late SL

I started playing in SL as Veng DH -> Havoc DH ->Fury War

Hots is so dead no even at blizzcon

Seems alive whenever i log in.

When was the last time they put a new hero in there?

#

@ionic fern hi ily

ionic fern
#

Hi, ily.

warm plinth
#

Also didn't they announce a while back that HotS wasn't going to be worked on anymore

ionic fern
#

Lowkey, HOTS has gotten bugfixes and tiny upgrades over the last few months.

#

Which is way more than they gave HOTS over the last few years.

blazing condor
#

hots isnt even a bad game

#

like a lot of ppl i know play and like it

#

it just couldnt keep up with dota/league in terms of esport

opaque quest
#

Hots is so damn good

#

I will never forgive blizz for killing it

#

We couldve gotten lilith too as a hero now deadge

blazing condor
#

not to be pessimistic but kinda feels like blizz has killed all their titles

opaque quest
#

Destiny is dead too now

#

Diablo looks to be on a rise

teal swift
#

Bungee bought themselves out

#

Fact is SC business model didnt make money

#

HoTS wasnt popular

#

Overwatch needed to be milked

#

WoW is doing fine lul

#

Diablo 4 idk, D2R is doing well

opaque quest
#

Ye but Destiny was doing fine under Blizzard thats the sad part

teal swift
#

Bungee wanted out of the basement

#

:kekw:

opaque quest
#

Pretty sure overwatch was doing fine with the OW1 model. Me and all my friends bought boxes every event

teal swift
#

the money they were dumping in for esports lmao

opaque quest
#

In OW2 i havent spent a single cent. Not even on Battlepasses

teal swift
#

You havnt

#

but im sure the quarterly

will say

#

all the C oD bros

#

bought it keksquad

opaque quest
#

Oh yeah

#

I always forget OW2 is now CoD for dps players lmao

teal swift
#

That said 5 more to level nex week

opaque quest
#

Im out until the 7th/14th. I tried to play my monk but 5 weeks in a row i didnt get an upgrade from vault or raid even tho im only 430

oh damn

maybe next week i can bring you to some fun keys

#

or something

opaque quest
#

Im on EU

teal swift
#

Oh well

opaque quest
#

I got a friend that is trying to coerce me into the game and i need to shut him down everytime cause there isnt much to do if youre only after ilvl

teal swift
#

I came back last week, previously quit in SL S2

#

so i got some alright gear last week

#

gonna KSM in 2 keys :kekw:

opaque quest
#

Oh yeah just grinding some 17s for 441 is always fun

teal swift
#

Eh my ilvl is like 430

#

or something lmao

#

dont need ilvl for these low keys

#

dont even need optimization

#

or good piloting tbh

#

Im being mocked by the acheus discord

#

for wasting about 30% of my RP

#

lmao

blazing condor
#

its like pwarrs who are top 10 rio that also waste 30% rage

teal swift
#

xD

#

Im bad, im trying to improve

#

but theres at least enough pilot skill and experience to know how to pull and handle big packs i guess?

sharp ruin
#

my only fear for the 10.2 m+ dugenon pools is that there are sooooo much caster mobs , and we as warrior don't have pretty nothing to control that

#

this is something that scare me , we can't help team in that sense in any way

blazing condor
#

spell block / reflect will always be good

#

then we have quite a bit of cc

#

but yeah a lot of magic damage aint exactly good for us

sharp ruin
#

magic damage is not what scares me , cause we have good defensive cds for magic damage now

#

but the fact we can't control mobs like a VDH or a ppala

#

and this is why i think people will not take us in keys xD

#

but i tried ppala and feels a bit squishy in high keys

teal swift
#

Jut send it

#

even though upper is like 60% magic 40% physical

#

you should be fine

bleak breach
#

Spell block will nearly be up every pack, you’ll be fine. Just rotate cds if necessary

teal swift
#

Prot warrior is mostly fine without a healer

#

like actually

sharp ruin
#

yeah cds for magic damage is not a problem

bleak breach
#

Hmmmmm

#

What level content you running without a healer?

sharp ruin
#

the fact is , VDH and ppala will control packs waaaaaaay better than us , and dungeons like throne or everbloom where soooo much kicks are required

teal swift
#

I said mostly fine.

#

Healer doesnt really need to dump into tanks

#

any of the 6 tanks

#

rotational mastery > healer

blazing condor
#

i mean we have Pummel / Shockwave / Storm Bolt / Intim shout - all on pretty short CDs

teal swift
#

DPS get rekt

#

by all the aoes lmao

#

so you need a healer for them

blazing condor
#

then again im not gonna push any top keys - and if i dont get invited to a 20 because my class then i wouldnt wanna play with those dudes anyway

#

cus theyre braindead thinking class matters on a 20

sharp ruin
#

for a 20 all tanks are very good 😄

grand veldt
#

you can tank on any tank up to like 28 or 29 rn

sharp ruin
#

but for keys like 27-29 ( the range i'm doing now in live patch )

bleak breach
#

You don’t need to actually do higher then 20

#

Rest is for io

grand veldt
#

highest brewmaster rn is doing 29s and 30s

#

brewmaster is by far the worst tank

sharp ruin
#

is not that the problem man 😄 if u have a team and u do keys with your team u cando what u want

teal swift
#

like, ltikerall every class can do 25s

sharp ruin
#

but if u don't have it , u have to do the "meta" tank or people will not take you

teal swift
#

better more reliable and consistent pulls >>> oh look Keystone Hero

bleak breach
#

Class always matters to a point.

teal swift
#

Not for tanks

#

:kekw:

bleak breach
#

Yes

teal swift
#

No, it really doesnt

#

Properly pulling and piloting will get you as far as your class goes.

sharp ruin
#

it matters a lot dude

teal swift
#

It doesnt matter if youre warrior or druid

jagged pier
bleak breach
#

Guardian Druid will always beat us at same level

teal swift
bleak breach
#

Currently

teal swift
#

think class matters before end tier keys

#

:kekw:

bleak breach
#

It does

jagged pier
#

yer

#

as usual

teal swift
#

It literally doesnt

jagged pier
#

ppl always think its does

#

when it doesnt

bleak breach
#

I respect your point of view, but it does. To a point that is, you can clear with any group up until the top level but there are classes better at it.

teal swift
#

Do you know why

#

bear is #1

#

and doing keylevels like +2 levels above all other tanks?

bleak breach
#

Because their tier is good lol

sharp ruin
#

man i'm taling about utility and mob controls , this kind of things just make the key smoother and faster

jagged pier
#

omg not utility again

#

im still wait for the guy toi tell me how one tank has more than another

teal swift
#

Druid has unlimited rage.

it allowed for permanent armor capping
insane AoE DPS

jagged pier
#

without plumping like 5 against 1 in the arguement

teal swift
#

neither of these things actually help

#

clear lower keys

#

these let you push past normal tank limits

#

So if you're not already clearing 28s, having a druid isnt going to magically make you clear 29-30 keys

#

lmao

bleak breach
#

I mean they do, if a tank is better at the top level, it’s also better at the low level.

#

It just doesn’t really matter as much in lower keys

teal swift
#

Survival isnt a concern

#

in 30 and below

#

every tank just presses buttons and wins

#

as you scale higher, tank damage intake and required dps output

#

become an issue

karmic plinth
#

arguably you could give druid its 10.0 or even 9.0 rage economy with this current talent tree it will still be top end just not so strong comparatively

bleak breach
#

I mean I can easily get wrecked in a 20 if I’m not careful lol

#

Survival is always an issue unless you’re doing 10s at 447

jagged pier
#

thats dependant on player

teal swift
jagged pier
#

literally nothing to do with tanks

#

if u can die in a 20

#

thats a player issue

#

not a tank issue

teal swift
#

nah @jagged pier just roll a druid, will fix all the problems

#

Your DPS wil lmagically use their stops properly

#

and all their utility

#

and you'[ll magically get your rotation down perfectly

sharp ruin
#

i mean guys , i mean that in a key live everbloom where u need so much kicks to do and so much mobs controls to do , doing that with a tank who can control them waaaaaaaay better than other just make the key smoother and faster

teal swift
#

yepyep

jagged pier
#

well they better because warrior has no utility apprently

sharp ruin
#

that was what i was saying , all here 😄

jagged pier
#

yep yep

pallid quiver
teal swift
#

unless youre doing content, where your absolute limit of your class is being pushed

jagged pier
#

apart from vdh i dont know what tank has more stops than us

teal swift
#

it doesnt fducking matter what you play

jagged pier
#

🤷

pallid quiver
#

pala has a lot more autopilot stops for interupt casts

karmic plinth
#

we dont have access to double silence sigil but we still have access to a lot of short cd stops

sharp ruin
#

pala do 100+ kicks in keys

pallid quiver
#

thanks to shield/divine toll

sharp ruin
#

and vdh got 2 silence sigils

bleak breach
#

Avengers shield

teal swift
#

@jagged pier idk how stat we ights are for Prot warr, is stacking vers still copium placebo like it is for bdk?

sharp ruin
#

and 2 chain sigils

pallid quiver
#

So that's what immediately comes to mind for most people I'd wager

jagged pier
#

1 less

#

if we take disrupting

karmic plinth
#

for what its worth we do have the option to take disrupting ye

teal swift
#

Like, people proselytize stat weights and stcking the right stats, and that you need the rig ht amounts

sharp ruin
#

man 2 silence sigils , 2 chain sigils , 2 fear sigils

jagged pier
#

cool 5 vs 6 not bad

sharp ruin
#

vdh can silence a pack for 14 seconds , AOE

karmic plinth
#

even then just having 2nd charges doesnt mean you get double hte amount

teal swift
jagged pier
#

u guys literally cry about aoe stops when 99% of spells doing nothing outside of WF keys

teal swift
#

@jagged pier Someone needs to make a graphic, of the importance of each factor of gameplay, as a pyramid, and have rotational mastery at the bottom and stats and class at the top LOL

jagged pier
#

like usually theres 1 or 2 big mobs u need to care about

#

and we have so many tools to deal with

#

i dunno

#

just stop crying and use the correct tool for the job like your supposed too

teal swift
#

People dont understand that the difference between a +20 and a +28 isnt gear or class, its literally just rotational mastery, pathing, and clean pristine pulls.

jagged pier
#

or reroll

#

like it sounds like u want to

teal swift
#

So the people struggling with 20-22 keys, just cope

jagged pier
#

because they aint changing warrior

teal swift
#

and say its my class, iots my stat weights, i just need that trinket

jagged pier
teal swift
#

isntead of beiung like, i fucking suck, lets just drill these pulls and practice

jagged pier
#

^^

#

or lets log

teal swift
#

Guess what, we all fucking s uck

jagged pier
#

or record myself

#

so i can see where i go wrong

#

'no it cant be me

teal swift
jagged pier
#

im play perfectly

teal swift
#

The people here

#

would be ripped apart in the bdk discord

jagged pier
#

like literally every single time

sharp ruin
#

i will always pèlay prot warr , cause i love it , i was just saying that people will not take us for that reason , cause people are stupid xD

teal swift
#

Warrior discord is like super carebear

#

and sweet and kind

jagged pier
#

some comes in here, 'I'm playing perfectly but im dying this class sucks'

teal swift
#

DK discord is like, opens log, shows eveyr mistake you make and calls out everything

jagged pier
#

we look at logs

#

literally are playing incorrectly

bleak breach
#

I dunno, whenever anyone comments in here they seem to just get mouthed off at

teal swift
#

because even the #1 players at the top

#

make a fair amount of mistakes

#

THe goal is minimizing most of them, and elimitating egregious ones

pallid quiver
#

And that's if we get logs

jagged pier
pallid quiver
#

Especially for M+, because some people think logging M+ is a meme for whatever reason

jagged pier
#

case in point the other day someone was like warrior has no utility

#

so i ask what we lacked, they then listed off 3 other tank utilities

#

so i asked the to make it a 1 and 1 coparison not a 3 on 1 comparison

#

they didnt reply

karmic plinth
bleak breach

Most people don’t try to help, they just rather abuse people instead.

Disrupting is always good

Stop 👏 making 👏 general 👏 statements 👏 if 👏 you 👏 have 👏 no 👏 idea 👏

Any key you need the interrupts

inland raft

I play perfectly i don’t press shield block because thats for the weak

pallid quiver
teal swift
pallid quiver
#

And if the cast timings in DotI are gonna be the same as current, that's not often in two dungeons in the pool next season

bleak breach
#

You probably won’t need it, but it’s a solid choice if you want to be safe.

pallid quiver
#

There's also a potential issue of where you pull the point from just kneejerk since so many of the points in the spec tree are so good and Thunderlord's gonna gain more value to pick up for that split due to a higher count of TC casts due to tier

karmic plinth
#

yeah i reckon u drop bloodsurge for it

bleak breach
#

That’s fair, didn’t think of the thunderlords with tier

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, iirc from Nome's push key build, Bloodsurge is the only talent that can be moved at all, really, and it's a good point

blazing condor
#

i dont like off-setting SC and demo

pallid quiver
#

don't worry

#

Demo will be up a ridiculous amount of the time

#

so they should almost always align still from what I remember hearing

sharp ruin
#

yeah we will be soooooo fine with survivability

bleak breach
#

Demo barely runs out with thunderlords and a large pack

pallid quiver
#

Because IP has a 90% chance to proc Fervid, which resets TC cooldown, which ticks Demo's CD

sharp ruin
#

i mean prot warr looks very solid in 10.2 , the only issue will be the kicks required in some dungeons , for all the rest we looks so insane and i love it

pallid quiver
#

You can solo stop like every pack I can think of off the top of my head, no party help required. It only becomes an issue when you start pulling larger. And if you're pulling larger, you should have party mates that can handle pressing at least a single button on their keyboard, so

karmic plinth
#

if disrupting shout is overkill for us i imagine kicks wont be a make or break for us

sharp ruin
#

in everbloom disrupting will be so good

#

i was forgetting about that , in some pack this talent will be huge ,

teal swift
#

@jagged pier next season questions should be banned

#

Tell them to send it and run, bring log if they have problems

sharp ruin
#

man class discord is for that kind of things too , to discuss about what we all think about our class in situations 😄

teal swift
#

Not really, asking questions about unreleased content that is still getting tuning passes leads to misinformation

sharp ruin
#

is not misinformation , cause in ptr we test what we are right now looking in 10.2 and we was talking about that

#

that's all , u can just ignore questions if u think are not usefull for you no?

bleak breach
#

Just leave people alone rather then trying to cause drama for no reason. We’re free to discuss from ptr or previous experiences in the dungeons.

teal swift
#

Wait, so you want me to not share my opinion if it doesn't agree with yours.

sharp ruin
#

yeah i want to

#

i love if u share your opinion with me , but not trying to let me pass like a idiot xD

bleak breach
#

It’s not even a disagreement

teal swift
#

The beautiful thing is, I can call your takes absolutely shit

sharp ruin
#

just say what u think and we can discuss together 😄

bleak breach
#

You don’t want us to speak about 10.2

teal swift
#

And continue hanging out in my shower

#

Soaking under the hot steamy water

bleak breach
#

Why do you need to get aggressive about it?

teal swift
#

While listening to weak takes

tepid obsidian
#

for the people who are going to be raiding as fury and m+ as prot, what gear set will you priotize fury or prot?

bleak breach
#

I’d have gear for both @tepid obsidian

karmic plinth
#

playing prot in fury gear is less troll than playing fury in prot gear

blazing condor
#

yeah our secondaries dont matter

#

and you still stack haste(?) for fury

tepid obsidian
#

i will ultimately gear for both but i'm talkin early season

teal swift
#

Tank stats don't matter

tepid obsidian
#

so i guess answer is fury 🙂

#

thanks

bleak breach
#

Fury, you still stack haste

teal swift
#

Prioritize fury, craft new sword and board

#

Gge

karmic plinth
#

having high mastery for prot isnt the worst thing

tardy delta
#

does prot have a aoe taunt?

jagged pier
#

yes

teal swift
#

Your stats do not matter

sharp ruin
#

yeah and with a talent it becomes a aoe taunt/kick with 1.5 minutes cd

teal swift
#

It's all placebo

karmic plinth
#

yea i mean they dont matter at the end of the day but obvs its not our 'preferred' secondary but its not like u cant do a key bc u have too much mastery

bleak breach
#

I mean we definitely operate better with particular stats so I would say they do matter…

tardy delta
teal swift
#

Like it literally just doesn't matter

bleak breach
#

Why?

karmic plinth
teal swift
#

Can someone like @jagged pier answer this

#

The yellow name might give the answer more clout

#

Just sim your shit, it doesn't matter for defense.

bleak breach
teal swift
#

We do more dps with certain stats,l. Defensively it doesn't make any noticable difference. It's placebo

karmic plinth
#

we are, but we don't NEED those particular stats

bleak breach
#

I agree we don’t need any stats. But it does matter to a degree.

jagged pier
#

sorry whats going on

#

i have a busy day can we sum this up?

bleak breach
teal swift
bleak breach
#

Also it’s 10pm

jagged pier
#

oh right @warm plinth

#

there u go

#

highest ilvl u welcome

#

expect rings and neck then high haste until its 10-15ilvls higher

#

than its flat out better because more stats> less better stats

teal swift

Talking about defense not offense Jakey xD

jagged pier
#

yer same thing

teal swift

Just sim DPS, defense stats don't matter

jagged pier
#

literally my statement above

teal swift

❤️

jagged pier
#

what ever your top dps stats are u have enough stats to survive

#

👍

teal swift
#

Every tank discord is experiencing same thing btw

People wanting to vers cope or copy some top person of the class.

Your stats aren't what's getting you killed

dull sleet
#

No, it's obv the healers fault

ionic fern
#

If my STM is 1, and i die.

#

Then it's my stats fault?

jagged pier
#

i have 8% vers and do the outsie of sarc and am fine

#

for instance

#

mwahi has 3% vers or somthing

ionic fern
jagged pier
#

u can get to any lvl of vers where its helpful like in S4 bfa

#

because u odnt have corruptions

sharp ruin
#

i am doing 28-29 keys with 8% versa

jagged pier
#

and its the highest stat investment for 1% of the stats

ionic fern
jagged pier
#

its a waste of your time to go vers

sudden grotto
#

why are you guys talking about x% of vers as if vers is a god stat to begin with

sharp ruin
#

nope i'm saying if your versa is enough to survive just go more damage 😄

jagged pier
#

and its is if u can get to like 50% vers

sudden grotto
#

or mastery or haste

jagged pier
#

strength is better tho

stuck crane
#

is it still possible to get the legion hidden artifact appearance?

sudden grotto
teal swift
karmic plinth
ionic fern
# sudden grotto and so is crit

Sure. But when people read
"Reduces your damage taken by x% and increases your damage done by y%", it sounds way more appealing than
lets say haste with "Increases your haste by 2%".

sudden grotto
#

x% vers is x% vers / 2 DR , which losez a shit ton of value if u go up one key level

ionic fern
#

And in a vacuum, as a tank, you'd want consistent DR over RNG.

sudden grotto
#

let alone more

ionic fern
#

But..we don't play in a vacum.

sudden grotto
#

'rng'

#

because maths arent an objective science

ionic fern
#

🤦‍♂️

sudden grotto
#

indeed 🤦‍♂️

#

the only 'rng' u mention is chances that go closer and closer to lottery winning chances as u go up in parry/dodge/miss

#

meaning u won't ever feel it and if u do u wont know u did

teal swift
#

Sorites paradox... How much crit do you need to feel a difference in your dps

rich wyvern
# sudden grotto because maths arent an objective science

I think he means that eg. haste has “rng” damage reduction bc you’re getting more procs of rage Gen etc, whereas vers is “you always take % reduced”. Not that that means vers is better, but it might be why people assume it is

ionic fern
