You don't like 10% armor (back in SL) on a 5min CD?
the dream was running bladedancer together with pre-buff weave
If you mythic raid or do a + 20 that’s like massively above average
If you understood where the average actually is..
Right
Like the average wow player has never done a m0
Let alone a key
They've never cleared a normal raid
Heroics are challenging
That's your average
so looking at cut offs right now all dungeons at 10 your in the top 46.9% of chars that have done a mythic ther is over lap of alts extra, but also doesnt account for every player just out of chars that have done mythic
if playing Wrath for the past two weeks has taught me anything.... the average wow player is a terrifying thing
Profession be making me moni
yes
get the portals my dude!
That's a good metric, howmany l70 characters have ksm
^
Ye
If you clear 20s might as well clear 23s
The particle effects turbo suck
Did 3k once I’ll never suffer pugging that again
new tmog dropped today
Having unobtainable item > not having unobtainable item
Bruh
Das hawt
Not if you can’t tell it exists
Rip
We'll see in 3 years when I come around in my corolla and my shoulders sparkling
Let me squint to see it
what a dapper dwarf ❤️
cant wait to see the combos people come with the War TMOG
you have time!

:yuzu:

Anime emojis are cringe and belong in HoW
I like my Emoji
Yuzu with her Thunderfury
💢
Not liking the genre of anime = racist?
idk lul
i dont watch anime
i read manga, manhwa, and manhua, sometimes webtoons
I cant handle watching media
Your PFP tells me you're lying
Manga has the same genre as anime (being largely the source material)
Yeah, ones animated ones readable
:3
I dont watch much tv nowadays
but i like reading
Not saying one is less weeb
But Tokyo Babylon is still Tokyo Babylon
i just dont watch anime lul
knowing whatever the fuck that means
Weeb alert
My sister growing up was obsessed with CLAMP
Growing up i was obsessed with DBZ, DB, Naruto, TLAB, etc
you know the c heap kids cartoons that candaian TV got lul
DBZ 
Did you see the nfl players who showed up in Naruto cosplay the other night
no lol
i dont watch anime, what makes you think i watch sports
LUL
but did they do the dorky run?
cause its fire
Boys whats tank tier list looking like atm for 10.2? I been away for 2 months
Thats pretty sweet ngl
So dhttps://youtu.be/R4vjJrGeh1c?feature=shared
The original FUNimation release (before cartoon network even existed) had this intro
dbz song enjoy.......
🔫
War is top 6
at least
yeah, thats the american intro i think EU got that as well not sure tho
The first German Intro of the TV Serie Sailor Moon in German. The song is not just a translation of the Japanese version but has a whole new melody.
ngl german sailor moon slaps
Eu had its own dub (ocean)
Ya
Bro why the fuck
LOL
Ocean Productions, Inc., is a Canadian media production and voice acting company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, that is part of the Ocean Group of businesses. Ocean Group is involved in intellectual property acquisition and development, co-production and the creation of English versions of animation for worldwide distribution.
The Group a...
This group did some really good shit lmao
but why did EU get the good voice actors
I however had the collection of horrible fansubs from Capsule Corp
From like, 78-291
Was like a shady drug deal, meeting the fansubbers out back of ACen
Because you couldn't sell non licenced products in the vendor hall
“Not a weeb” btw
Im 100% a weeb, i just read lesbian romance mostly tho
and korean comics
lmao
Getting unedited DBZ in the USA was a challenge
you like manhwa? interdasting
Yeah and Manhua
Incall those "paladin pics"
I just prefer my storytelling in a visual, but written f ormat
so manga is my go to
rather than anime
webtoons, manhua, manhwa, thai manhwa, manga
its all gucci
Ratana Satis
writes a few
like Pulse (18+), Lily Love, Lily Love 2, and a couple more
I like thai
oh nvm that's all romance and alike
They don't make it spicy enough in Canada though
not a fan of that particular genre
Yep, love yuri
mcu/dc is not that bad aside from their biggest hits
invincible is really good and apparently it's pretty true to the comics
ah
This is from Batgirls, current run
I can’t read
is there a way we can deal with infinite duress on sark myth p2->p3 is we gotta be the tank to stay up? (no dwarf)
You can have a Hpal come up for the dispel in bubble
spellblock /reflect not helpin anything?
guess its more about the knockback
dont wanna forced playing dk just for this one mechanic
what about your cotank?
monk - no dwarf also
he has diffuse
can solo the mechanic
@jagged pier https://i.imgur.com/UDeDbg1.png
thats kinda where im at
not entirely satisfied
tell me this is a paladin
yer i made one with the CN mythic set as well
Shield doesn't quite mesh
but i prefered the red when i tattoed the dwarf head
there is no good shield for it
sadly our tradepost weapons are fucking WHITE BLUE
WHO CAME UP WITH THIS SHIT
WHITE BLUE GREY
straight up unusable colours
Fucked DK colors
doesnt even match with this
cuz the grey is in the way
fuckin impossible to use
Nice dworf nomer
ty
its a dragon
Looks mogu
That's a better angle
It’s a wolf
Gilnean shield design with the roses and the Gilneas national symbol in the center of the shield right above the wolf decal
@waxen frigate i leave monk server now
F
no more doom
its too much a stupid meme on repeat
i don't want to talk about doom again
Looks like a zanadalari troll to me
buckler
the weps look like greens tbh
its fairly large
the only ones worse are the evoker weps hahahahaha
oh thats bigger than i thought actually
Pic?
go on wowhead
looks like something from a wotlk dung
It has the problem that most swords in this game have imo
They don’t look like effective cutting instruments
yea was about to post
isnt this just their legendary wep? form legion
artifcat
STRAIGHT GAS
u soundin like my bowel rn
why is this mog straight fire
and why are female pandas lowkey awesome AF
too bad its just lazy full set
but tabard looks good with it if ur panda
i like it
Full set Andys
I like the stance
Smh
being a full set andy is fine!
Being a full set andy is just and right!
🚫
no its fine just dont be like look at my tmog its amazing
Why tho?
like ive seen in #tmog where ppl are like look at this and its 8/9 full set with a different shoulder tmog

like thats 0 effort
Sets look great, they are sets after all
They are transmogs too
ALL TRANSMOGS MATTER!

for me, Im always just looking for good sets that look good with shields/weps
finding good shield tmog is rough

true and real
based
Jakey gatekeeping wow fashion
Im not sure what goes well with that silver trading post shield
I also dont know why blizz decided to mix up the color palate on the class tpost weps and armor
like the paladin one was super annoying
cause I really liked that paladin shield, but its the off color judgement set palate
giving us blue stuff because they want to make us all reroll dk cause all thier armour is blue
its not too DK tbh
Yeah but you don’t get to act proud of it or like you created something by using like one set
I’m super proud of this mog
I think maybe 2 pieces are from the same set
im more interested in the weps tbh
though a little tilted its not a axe
I dont like my Dwarf using swords
Axes and Hammers only

I gathered it, I am proud of it, I will say I am proud of it!
I WONT BE DENIED!
Gather DN
Transmog elitsm is kinda funny to me tho
I am just not invested in it at all, so it seems... fanatical, lines in the sand - like deals.
I come from an RP background
Argent Dawn?
I mean, I get it
So good, unique, lore friendly outfits are important to me
No, not even WoW RP. Swtor
Lmao
I think everyone can enjoy tmog or have opinions on mogs; but some people are just more creative/visualize tmog better and can make really creative sets
Swtor rp was like a theme park rpg compared to galaxies
ive been wearing so many full or almost full sets this season they look great 
I do like it when blizz releases good looking full sets
still my number 1 favorite set of all time... Scourgelord from ICC

i lost so many good mog items
idrk how
back in the day where you had to have them in the bank before collections were a thing
and now theyre gone from the bank but also not in my collection
SAME
Remember when you had to pull items out of void storage to xmog with them
yep
Q:Is it actually that bad to macro shieldblock & shield slam together for a more easier rotation. I thought this would be really bad at first that you would be wasting the SB value and run out, but seems that it keeps stacking and as long as you are actively tanking you keep the buff up 100%. I dont see that many significant negatives about this method, maybe only for swapping packs and some minor rage loss. Seems that some cases you have insane rage generation so doesnt seem to bad to lose a bit of rage and since the SB keep stacking dont lose any uptime/ value?
its not bad, just dont use it to shield slam
if youre using it to SB, then youre good
if your using it as a 1 macro no bad
no but the macro is whenever I shield slam it uses SB at the same time
yes thats bad
why?
that the question
I cant seems to find any logic that would make it super bad
Because your wasting rage and potentially uptime
because macroing spenders to generators and using that as a button will one make u spend rage when u dont need it
^
and 2 spend SB your best mitigation
There's a duration cap on sb
but like I said both keep 100% uptime
logs
everyone
this exapnsion
that has told me this
have less blocked hits than i do
because they waste their SB charges
just testing it on a dummy

and hitting it will never drop
"I have 100% uptime"
.....50% blocked hits
youre gonna face gaps in content that actually matter
also let me ask a question
what if they remove or retune our block talents
what then?
yes but thats why I am asking right now
u now have an incredibly bad habit
and youre gonna clip the 3x duration really often
you can go over 3x duration aswell now
only with LS up
no you cant
not without
seems so
only with bolster
That ip/ss macro nome made is better that sb/ss
the TLDR is
literally can't say w hore
Why we got automodvsonstingy
u dont do it
its a discord global thing ikari
Reeeee
is bolster the tier set?
no, the talent
no its a talent we run because of the tier set
^
It's a talent that works with the tiervset
There will be times when you keep a charge because you're needing to prio rage into something else first, be that an aoe damage ability or IP. Sometimes it's fine to let shield block drop to build rage for a next pack, and/or to execute.
Also a waste of rage if you're ever raiding and not the current tank.
well that last statement isnt really true
you still need SB for damage
but everything else is true
Fair correction!
it just seems if you are actively tanking you can keep 100 uptime so you dont see the defensive value loss like I thought
real game scenrio btw for next tier, if u have enough haste u run less SB talents, so if attach it to SS in m+ lets say u hit SS at the end of a pack oh now SB has gone on CD, oh now i have to tank with seconds less of SB up, two in raid where u run ITF regarless so u have to manage SB to some extent, u dont need to tank the boss now u just send SB when u arent tanking and dont have charges for when u start because your pressing SS,
yes u do spend your block charges when not tank for damage but u do save them again for when u start tank so u have a max length of block available
u macro that to SS u can do that
and just dont have it
On top of this, you can also blow all your SB charges before downtime, say, before a brief amount of RP in an M+ dungeon, leaving you with, when you actually hit combat again, at best 1 charge of SB, at worst, literally no SB duration so you either die, blast mega CDs, or tell your group, "Sorry, I don't want to learn how to play, so we have to sit here for like 16 seconds real quick"
yeah I see the harm in swapping packs a bit and raid. But in these scenaries you are still doing your rotation most of the time should be always. So if you can keep the buff up 100% if you are just doing your rotation it should still be active when taunt swapping ect
youre not gonna keep it up
Do it if you want; just know it is not at all optimal
or rp here would make sence but this would make the rp less than 15 sec timer of SB
I think its a interresting concept that seemed bad at start but the more I thinked about it and tried with rotation doesnt seem as bad as I initially thought
asking legit question feeling being flamed 
whos getting flamed?
i also have had this discussion 100s of times with expansion probably and everytime they actually loose uptime by doing it as proven by logs
lol
based
back in the day flaming meant you were gonna be dragged into the dirt verbally
not providing counter argument and explaining the situation
In other news, the Warrior helm in the trading post is 10/10 powerful on Tauren
smh my head
well, youre spot on
so dont be sorry 🙂
thats why u dont use a tabard
no i mean at the horns
didnt open the image just presumed it was tabard XD
tauren look uncomfortably scuffed without a tabard because textures get stretched and crunched around the tum tum area
so it's something i've just gotten used to over the years
Tauren mogs is an acquired taste
Man, if the helm was a bit less saturated, I'd actually use it, because omega super horn clipping is funny as fuck
new trading post warrior helm horns clip through shoulder O_O yikes
idk i just use deviate supreme
dude I just was typing that lmao
wow
I'm currently using the current tier helm on Heroic because it's super funny how, depending on lighting, it either looks perfectly fine or god awful abomination tier
and it's really funny
Im just glad they seem to be starting to hide ears on tier helms at least in 10.1 and 10.2 lmao
for certain races at least
NOOOOO! Let my ears be free!
keep em in the helm
so tired of clipping ears
should unironically be an option at least I guess
yeah fair about hair I agree 100% on that
i think i hit something that made everything out of proportion on this screen
wtf lol
yeah, reloaded, very weird
hpal can dispel you on bubble as someone mentioned, pala should go out at 4:08
What is your cotank
Monk solos
Monk can solo with diffuse
It is diffuse right?
They just need a bop before everyone goes in like every tank
Monk gets BoP as raid goes down
monk places transcend in the middle of the room
do the little run back and forth with the wind
duress goes on monk
monk instantly uses diffuse magic into transcend
monk runs/rolls to edge to bait pillar
Yer that
I can get you a video of it as well if that helps @fading bear
nah its ok - dont wanna force him to do it i get the gist. tyvm!
coming from someone whos never done mythic sark
whats the reason everyone stays down until the ascend
To avoid spawning more than 1 meteor (or whatever they are called)
anyone can solo if they're dwarf afaik
Correct. Non-dwarfs that can solo are monk, DK, pala
Dwarf warriors can solo
Bears and vdh cannot solo
you playing warrior next tier?

Yis 
we go next month
if u guys know something about it , what embellishments u think we will have to craft in 10.2?
Sf
sometimes you need a poop T Post
gotta save dem tendies
Sporecloak + Allied Wrists
Both have really good tuning
If you're doing raid, no clue
Double shadowflame. 
☝️
yeah normally recommendation is max damage, so double shadowflame
sporecloak if youre scared of dying i guess
Can't even reliably stay above the threshold in heavier content, anyhow, for sporecloak
i think he meant sporecloak for the low hp absorb effect
Doesn't save us from anything that might kill us any way
Which is already bad, and gets worse next patch
its nerfed next patch?
It’s something like a 100k absorb
sporecloak will not be seen because of the absorb
its because they heavily buff the vers effect on it

oof i see they cut the absorb by 50%
Yeah, it was the reason it was even potentially be considered was because it got big buff
the absorb was already useless fro tanks
I like the like 500 vers lmao
i mean its a 250k hp absorb right now or so, it has to be able to save your life once in a while
It's gonna do well in AoE i feel
Very rarely

For most Dps specs yes
For tanks not much bc of the HP threshold
it's great for vengeance 😏
250k absorb on a 2min CD
Bdk has insanely high uptime on kt
thatll cover like 2 melees for most tanks
The defensive portion is shit
Yeah but vers on DK isn’t very good
It's the other part
Sporecloak is bis in AoE for damage throughput
depends on how the damage is applied from DS
assuming you have high uptime
if it heals -> damage or damage -> heals
So ip on a 2m CD?
And you can’t press it, it just goes every 2min basically
and not a partial absorb
What embellishment pieces are we eyeing for 10.2? I’m guessing sporecloak + ???
2x SF
Taking the cloak for defense is questionable
i guess i can start on updating the FAQ
Scroll up
Offensively I think it’s also semi questionable
Please
It’s just not reliable either way
I'll still likely to sporecloak + allied
Depends on your key level let's be fair
Yeah
Ur a tool
If you're like 95% or the playerbase
If you’re running low keys it’s def bis
Doing 25 and lower
Because you don’t take dmg
Youre gonna be healthy as fuck
so you guys think if i stop at +20s i should sporecloak?
But even then it depends on individual spec scaling
cause im not passing that
No
I’d still say no
I think it’s worth having one maybe to mess around with but I wouldn’t prio it
im a portalhoe
I'ma go sporecloak because realistically it doesn't matter
Do you raid
Then it’s less of an impact imo. Embellishments early on are more relevant for raid
Than for early keys
Your embellishments shouldn't have any impact on getting KSH and all your portals.
^
yeah i agree but if not dying means i time a dungeon instead ot not its more time fficient
But I’d still do shadowflame first
+2.5% damage is good too though
Sporecloak will not determine that
Ever
Next tier
Or this tier really but especially next tier
yeah it true that its nerfed
This season.
I had a FH that we would have failed to time if I wasn't spec for full Damage.
It’s gonna be maybe 10% of your hp
Use a cheat death trinket if you really wanna cope through mid keys
i lowkey wante dto use battle-scarred veteran but i heard it was bugged
Sporecloak defense is just free throughput 12 times per key lul
Generally speaking, especially especially in keys like 20s, any defensive issues you have are due to your own skill issues or mistakes
is it fixed in 10.2?
BSV is ass
At what point does strong rotational mastery stop being enough to be inmortal
Bdk doesn't hit a point where perfect play rotationally isn't enough defensively
But idk about the other tanklets
thats bdk, this is warrior
if youre having issues in freehold amongst all places, its def due to playing incorrectly
counterpoint: 50% of healers seem to never want to dispel oiled blade
we are the strongest tank for the dungeon
My warrior hasn't ran keys this season yet
reflect it
it comes out more often than the cd tho no?
yeah you can get every other one
i did only realize it was reflectable after i did it on +20 tho
other than that you cant do much
i just spammed CDs
when i run that shit on my healer i am on the ball with dispel fuck them healers who dont
well thats on them
unless youre giga pulling with officers, you shouldnt need the dispel though
at that key level anyway
idk i feel like it kicked my ass without knowing about spell reflect
100% uptime on shieldblock
and all extra rage on ignore pain but i guess it gets 75% reduces
those are the only pulls that hurt if oiled blade doesnt get dispelled thoguh yeah
Should be lower than 75% in practice
That’s their skill issue then
unless youre not kicking the caster for some reason
Got my fangs ready to go 
ok we're memeing
Because revenge isn't 360
true and real

It is when I put it in my sick mlg montage
MY HOPE WILL NEVER DIE
lmaooo
360 revenge no scope
Non whirlwind users with there revenge^
K FAQ should be updated
cmere den

whats another frequent question
so final thoughts on prot warrior in 10.2: is it joever or are we barack
better than 10.1
that's a fairly low bar
is it?
trying to think of one
it joever if u care about meta
Obamna

in 10.2 we're a solid 98 maybe 99
us being a 95 doesn't really matter if the other tanks are 97s or 98s tho. It's really all relative
🤦♂️
just delete your prot
I can't believe all tanks are terrible, we're gonna need 7 tanks per M+ now in order to survive smh, classes so bad
I'm ashamed of ever even playing WoW if we're this bad smh
"hey this thing is 1% better, than means the other thing is worthless"
same kinda people
who drive 10km
to get a 2ct cheaper gas station
wasting more gas than they have saved by going to said gas station
based
I feel like you don't understand what I've been saying. It doesn't matter how good prot is, if the other tanks are better, what incentive do groups have to take a prot warrior over the other tanks
Holy shit this drives me fucking nuts
playing to the best of their ability
YES BUT YOU TRY APPLYING TO KEYS WHEN THE MAJORITY OF PLAYERS BLINDLY FOLLOW THE META AND REFUSE TO TAKE ANY SPEC THAT DOESNT FIT
Prot pal and VDH are both a 100 but yea prot warr is 99
It's not even a huge discrepancy
Some dungeons they're better, some we're better
if they're mega blind meta chasers, anyhow, they're normally pretty shite players, so you can consider it a bullet dodged
Tbh pretty balanced from PTR so far
idk why people assume the defeatist attitude
and victimise themselves
"uh i dont get invites"
Shadowlands trauma
because optimism is hard
My wife has some app that tells her gas prices, and is like "Costco on so-and-so is 3c cheaper" and I'm like no it's not, because I value my time
this is why you get friends ❤️
I play wow to escape my harsh reality
No those are gross
Dont bring friends into this
My most played comp in S2
I PLAY PROT WARRIOR I DONT HAVE FRIENDS
I HIT THEM ALL RAAAGH
SHIELD SLAM
RAAAAAA
People just gotta push away anything that's related to self-reflection or like any kind of deeper thought, since that involves interacting and all. Same thing in fight game land, no matter whether they play the best or worst chars
I just consider myself bad at everything, and try to find joy and happiness despite it
WHY SELF REFLECT WHEN YOU CAN SPELL REFLECT RAAAGH
BARS
Idk if I'm defeatist, but I'm sure as shit not helpless, I'll go and do shit on my own lul
theres people straight up full pugging keys to 3.8k
The only time I really felt defeated was trying to pug a 10 man in Wrath as a undergeared FDK
as any spec ever
I only complain about invites when people go out of their way to whisper me some bullshit as to why they declined me
but in retail, naw fam, shit is boomin
its only in the shitter range
where people exclusively play meta
the lower you get
I get a bit annoyed when I have a higher score for the key than the group lead and I get instantly declined
yes
Hoi +7, Need Aug and pi
yes
like youll get the most toxic and elitist kind of players
in a low ranked mythic guild
True
than in a top end mythic guild
idk, some of the method players seem pretty insufferable
im not saying theyre not elitist or toxic
gromnak is based
PARRY WARBREAKER PARRY WARBREAKER
its push week
You get a lot of players who can't take criticism at the entry into mythic
He is simply elemental chaos
Gromnak super based
atleast from what i can tell
push week is when I eat like shit for 7 days and spend the majority of my time on the toilet pushin' out a fat log gamer style
i also have gunnars
Hardest boss is that holy Paladin that starts crying when you ask what issue they're having avoiding shit
I know one person who said he was pretty chill but another who said he got giga omega toxic but like
That’s just WoW players in general
hes a warrior main
hardest boss is getting people to interrupt
I mean in raid
yeah i use flux
prob some pissy wizard complaining about a war chad
All I know is I fucking adore the clip of him intervening a tank on accident and screaming as he hurtles toward his death
That’s a banger
I don't understand why people still don't interrupt. I did a 20 yesterday and after it went to shit I checked the logs and the highest number of interrupts among the other 4 players was 2
Ya I don’t get it
bro theres this mage on this casual group i run with on my ret, the guy is insuferable saying how people should use health pots, and here i am playing a class that has WoG
Because your trying to do a 20
I have recently found out.... that interrupting is not something people think about
nor using their CC
at least in my classic/wrath adventures
It’s the exact same on retail
its the same player
literally started playing this expansion and assumes classes dont have self heal abilities
but I dont see players like that since im in a bubble when I play on retail
like one of them was a boomkin so I guess I can't blame em but the other two were an aug and a ret pally
Isn't interups on gcd in wrath?
there's a reason Cata Heroics dumped on most people for being too hard, and not being able to do something about this funny mob casting a healing spell might be part of it
People forget that shit like turn evil/hibernate/stormbolt/etc can be used as a stand in for kicks
ret paladins literally have a talent that makes their interrupt a dps gain
dont know, Im a DK; its on a 10 second CD
and he interrupted once
It’s not like you have only one ability to stop a target from casting
and I press it all the time
nobody plays that talent
Ret paladins can opt out of their interrup
so does DH, it seems like blizz is making this a design choice
Which is the dumbest shit ever
As it should be
it was worse in bfa and SL, when only the tank paid the price for interrupts
if someone that isn't a prot paladin decides not to talent into their fucking interrupt I'm never doing anything with them
but most people just lack awareness
that's one thing I feel like I can be 'elitist' about
i sure as hell fucking dont play that talent, im interrupting cause its needed
Warriors used to get a 15% damage bonus when interruoting
There’s WA packs to scream at you to kick
Idk like there’s a lot you can do if you lack awareness
I don't think the players that refuse to interrupt tend to use weakauras
just a hunch
It taught me to inspect rets I invite
some people hate weakauras or they are really put off by them
More than a few will instantly assume "tank problem" even if the spell is directed literally straight at them. It's of major note because if a spell contains the word "Volley"
its simple, they cant kick, they cant time, not my problem 😎
I mean that's understandable, they are a bit risky and can be confusing to newer players
plus they do contribute heavily to clutter that a lot of people don't like
suddenly everyone and their mother mashes the shit out of their interrupts
I used to hate weakauras until i found out I could just import ones that i liked.,
and that's not even mentioning the non-negligible performance issues with some weakauras for people on lower-end pcs
like once you figure out how to make your own simple weakauras it's invaluable
I’m autistic with ADHD and I rely on auditory cues and I tanked 27/28 in SL as prot warr and I’ll blatantly admit I have several WAs I designed explicitly to blare at me whenever a spell began to cast that could snipe/wipe someone
thats smart
I think everyone here is ADHD
Shit’s obnoxious but if you have to do it just do it idk
it's prot warrior discord
Overstimulation speed run
Man just the weakaura to show you what classes are already in the key before you sign up for it, 10/10 wouldnt play without
huh
I still don’t have it
mine neither
But I also never pug or push anymore
well mine does
is this new tech?
but yeah after I installed a weakaura pack becase I was shit at prot warrior, first thing I did was make a weakaura that shows the duration of shield block and plays a sound when it's at <=3 seconds
it's been absolutely invaluable
Same here
I actually have a 2 part WA set I designed with another prot warr which I give to every warr player in my guild who wants to try prot
like I get why WAs are a controversial topic, and tbh it does feel like it makes the game a hell of a lot easier to have all these peripherals that were obviously not intended to be in the game
do yourself a favor
We’ve hit the point
Where there is an entire mythic boss
That you straight up cannot kill
I just like to know if i'm getting myself into a full melee group before I join
Without 3 weakauras minimum
Nelth is dumb
Anyone who is still elitist about WAs is just facetious
because of that weakaura
otherwise, I find it a pretty fun fight... after p1 and p2
yeah I do kinda wish they'd stop designing around weakauras and maybe just make every non-player ability a protected ability that can't be used or detected by WAs
Nelth is a fun fight but a failure on the design team because why the fuck should a raid ever wipe because of a WA bug
Thats the point of the secret auras though, they're trying to
How is that rewarding gameplay
maybe if they stopped designing shit fights like exp and echo
it's like an arms race between blizz and the weakaura makers
but I also worry that when they eventually do something about weakauras, the helpful ones like the ones we use will be caught in the crossfire
“Sorry guys wiped us there because my map was 15 degrees off and it directed me to the wrong spot”
I dread there being another Nelth fight this next tier
we spent like a hour a week during nelth prog
just getting peoples weakauras working
was super frustrating
dont get me wrong echo is a great fight but holy fuck who made that mech
My WA legit would not stop fucking bugging
On reclear
Until last night
It’s fucked up
I’m trialing too
Last phase tho
I know my spots
just be melee 🙂
those are my spots
Fair
My WA randomly killed itself and I had to do a clean reinstall of BigWigs for it to work
Took actual days to figure out it was BigWigs (should have been one of my first guesses I admit)
Get me in a room with who designed Echo I just want to talk
it really isn't except for the one mech
Even hearts is really driven by a balancing issue more than design. Wall break damage is too high
Based but still
Part of me wishes I got to experience echo on mythic. Unfortunately my guild isn’t cutting edge, and we only got as far as Rashok on mythic (and since experiments took us so long, everyone was burnt out after that point)
and then you have backwards timer fights like exp
From a pure design perspective
And it being reliant on player triaging through weakauras
I cannot help but be irked by the design
exp is just my biggest peeve
TOO MUCH DPS? youre fucked
TOO LITTLE DPS? youre fucked
NO PRIEST? guess what
Experiments made me want to quit video games and become a hermit
Holy lagspike
Didn’t help that our unholy dk spent a large portion of prog on that fight complaining about how shit the fight was
Really not great for morale
well hes 100% right
EXPERIMENTS
cause its a horrible fucking fight
GOD
absolutely ridiculously dumb
It’s such a fucking dogshit fight
At least Smolderon next tier is (allegedly) a combo of FL Ragnaros and Aggramar
Two of the best raid fights in the game’s history

Surely they won’t private aura all of it and ruin the experience through relying on weakauras
that part isnt the problem augusto
Surely
thats the least of its issues
as a fight mechanically
its just fucking backwards as hell
Prot warr the debuff is kinda rough tho
Like I don’t think we can really refute that one
But yeah the mechs are dogshit
Whats rough is having lots of stacks and the guy goes to do his drive by, but your co-tank cant clear with you so you sitting there just taking big damage
This ^
the whole "transition at x:xx or you're fucked" part is whats backwards
oh, and OCE never flipping drops
Experiments is the fight that made me realize I needed to get a lot better at prot Warrior. Then I did and realized that, no, the fight just fucking sucks for prot Warrior
And then shortly after I realized that, no, the fight just fucking sucks period
Eye of the Jailer was the same for me
And then I realized nah healers in SL all just needed lobotomies
Another poop fight and raid
Tarragrue was fun (a meme, but fun) and I liked Guardian
Painsmith was a banger tho
i like guardian/rashok style tank swaps
it'd be really nice if they gave us a way to effectively mitigate heavy-hitting magic DoTs, or alternatively stopped making fights with heavy-hitting magic DoTs as a tank mechanic
Tbf that’s a skill issue
You should take a stack and clear before that always
100% a skill issue
You know when your cotank isn't paying attention
But yeah it happens and it does suck
I love short but hard hittign fights
Feel like I could for sure be doing more damage
anything that just minces your character for 3-5 minutes
Can’t say from those pics
guardian/rashok style swaps are always really stressful when I'm the one in danger of being double-smacked because I never know if my cotank is paying attention until the last second
Revenge isn’t a hard hitter anymore relatively speaking
189 casts of revenge vs 272 casts of thunder clap
Do you have a log
Uhhhhhhhh
preach
Let me check
google seismic reverberations
?
as long as you dont have empty gcds, you should be doing great
Hard to say when we don't see your resources
why is it stressful for you guys when another person fucks up
thats not your problem
thats a THEM problem
I didn’t rage cap once I know that much
literally the least stressful thing ever
I’ll see if I can get a log when I get home
