I agree. Its the one in HoI specifically I couldnt figure out tbh, and then I though, well maybe theres one for boss abilities
But it's hard to logic them
yeah just tank the knockback and then you do big dam
Reflecting frontal conal projectiles but only if it's targeting someone who isn't you
Or the one at the end boss of VP, I believe you can reflect the circle thing as well. Its not always as obvious.
Did they make spellreflext easier to Intuit?
yeah you can reflect the chain lightning - i agree
its just "you gotta learn it"
Because some of them were insanely weirdge
by looking at the spreadsheet
Oh we got spreadsheet still
There's some swirlies in the game that you can reflect/deflect as well, too, so the real key is to just get hit by everything with SR up and find out
To reflect the one in VP, do I just stand in someones circle and press SR, or does it only work when its targetted at me?
ok, cool thanks
well then I won t need the wa as I now know which ones to reflect and how
I just checked out the WA and its fucking huge.
:3
From the 6 tanks
Can we list them easiest to hardest? Surely some other tanks are less punishing and easier to pilot than others. Cough prot paladin
easiest? Prot Warrior is prolly one of the two easiest
i think it kinda depends on the content
druid is probably the lowest barrier to entry into reasonably difficult content, but they can struggle at the start of pulls in m+ if you aren't careful
warrior doesn't really struggle on pull because shield block is so easy to get up, but we have to learn which mobs will truck us with a bleed
dk can be kinda hard to learn IMO, but the nature of the damage you take matters less
ez to flop over as a DK
Warrior = Druid -> Ppala-> BDK -> VDH -> Monk
Hate monk
So gcd capped all the time
RJW is the worst designed spell in the game and ill fight anyone who says otherwise
Monk feels so good in raid and sooooooo bad in keys
Difficulty to play no tank is really hard to play. It’s just some are better then others, which makes things easier.
As you said Yuzu monk good in raid, but feels odd in dungeons.
Druid people say is easy because it excels in both.
Well and the fact that the rotation is extremely easy
Yes, but I mean most tank rotations are very trivial
BDK has so many layers of resources, that I'm inefficient with them, but keys still go well
Did they change Druid much? I don’t even look at them to be honest. Do they still use heaps of spells?
bone shield is the lamest shit
BDK fairly easy, even bad players can be nearly immortal.
Not saying you’re bad lol
No, I'm fucking abysmal and am playing it about as poorly as humanly possible
Can literally say the same about any class except maybe monk
Found it really weird seeing guardian use half the boomy rotation.
But content still going smooth up to like 17s
I honestly have never found any class all that difficult
Like people told me Ele shaman hard, but you literally just hit whatever flashes on most classes and maybe download a WA and you’re fine.
Like, if I don't log, bdk is easy and all this content is getting smashed
I look at the log
heck yeah!
Like, feelsy wise the keys are going well
But once I analyze the gameplay
Holy fuck I'm bad
Keys can be difficult, especially when learning. Like in a raid you get a lot of repetition so eventually you get a flow going, but pack to pack you can miss a lot
I think one of the big things in keys is not using enough cds, that’s what I notice when I look at my own stuff. Like in raid you hold them for situations, but I sometimes forget in a key I nearly have them for every pack anyway.
yeah underusage of defensive CDs is a big thing
Raid is easy as fuck orange parses all day
Keys not so much
I feel like I over use defensives
theres no such thing
if you waste a cd when u didnt need it then die cus u didnt have it maybe
i guess well panic pressing everything is overusing
Hey it's me lul
But I try to just send one CD at a time
Raid is easy to learn patterns, but I also find you can get away with more mistakes in keys.
Raiding has always been easy for me idk
I think the worst thing with keys is just other players
You can do everything right yourself and get let down by the group.
Anything purple or above is good

My nerzhul kill I was dead for like 15 at the end
Should've been 90+
But yeah, for me, raid tanking is just copying lorrgs
So you don’t raid anymore
I used the shit out of it in shadowlands
I just came back to woe
Ahh okay
After break from s2 sl
I skipped shadowlands
That was around the time I quit
Just came back 2 weeks ago
Got my ksm, am just coasting rm
Didn’t hate BFA but I quit then, just sort of fell out of love. Then somehow came back around 10.0.5
You fool!
I mostly raid, thinking of going Ce next tier, but I’ve got too many kids and it’s time consuming.
You didn't miss much
Except castle nathria which was top tier
From someone who's never gone for CE. It's not hard.
Don't get attached if you feel the guild won't get it
Jump ship
its a lot of time if youre not in a good guild
Yesh
many guilds raid 3x a week and are just now getting their CE
thats like 3-4 hours x 3 for 25 weeks or smth
My guild has 2 CE teams, aiming for 4 next tier
mega guild
They only raid 2x a week 2.5 hours
I think their top group does 3 days
But it’s more just the effort and behind the scenes stuff that I don’t have time for.
Like most CE guilds requiring x amount of keys a week and other random stuff. I just like to turn up to raid on Sunday lol
Yeah they’re massive, I’m just in a group that does Aotc and a day per week of mythic once we get Aotc, but as you can imagine there’s differing levels of players in the group so we eventually hit a wall or the roster boss because people get disheartened.
I wanna find a 5 day a week 3-4 hour a day mythic raiding guild
They do not require x amount of weeks a week thats just false
I don't really wanna slow prog 2 days a week
Do what?
Guilds that struggle to maintain a dedicated roster focused on gearing up, tend to require keys and shit so their raiders actually get geared, good guilds players do whatever
X amount of m+ a week
Great guilds unleash the splitraids
Ohhhhh you said weeks a week, I thought I had made a typo but hadn’t.
The dreaded split raid
Sounds like a burnout any% speedrun to me ngl
did they change how m+ dungeons scale per level now
for this season rn
like whats the diff between a 20 and a 21
Ones a 20 the other one is 21
🙂
The actual scaling % is w/e because people dont understand math
Wdym
I already casually play 8 hours a day on a light day
I don't mind that kind of schedule
It works for me
But I can't really find a guild with a. Loaded schedule
Aight, whatever floats your boat ig
And 2-3 day doesn't interest me
I think it’s bc you’re unique in wanting to wipe on mythic for that long repeatedly
Gotta take breaks Yekno
Ya perma prog is a nightmare to me now
Ain't no way you're pegging 3-4 months in with a 20 hour a week raid schddule
if you need 200 pulls on a boss, you gonna need 200 anyway, doesnt matter whether you do them in one week or in one month 
Heavy schedules get the kills, go down to lighter schedule
Rather do them in a week
Lol
Faster prog = chillin rest of tier
I’ve gotten CE last week two tier in a row before
. I can’t go back
Grats on CE, that's a lot of stressful raiding
It's be nice to y'know
Not be permanently progging
Imagine an extra day or two a week and you have 2+ months of relaxing reclear
yea I know, its personal preference, I was more talking about that "wanting to wipe for that long", like you gonna have these wipes anyway
It's really taxing to never get to stop progging
stretching them to more weeks doesnt change that you will wipe
So I'd rather cram it all in
WTB wood chopping skill secondary profession and other GIGACHAD type stuff
Go back to WoD
Go cut trees there
WoD classic when 
no, a real wood cutting, and fix arch
Gdkp already runs rampant
Wait for gold print xpac
Loool
nah im kidding, i dont give a f about classic, Ive played it for 15 min when it first came out and had enough, Ive played wotlk to get mount from promo
but couldnt do that in one run, had to spread over a week
I liked p1 and p2
The leveling, gearing uo
Getting into raid was fun
Then it's just bleh
I like the idea of a forced reset again and doing classic+
But idk how much I’ll actually like it
Worked for osrs
They could also just start classic+ at the end of the wrath cycle instead of doing cata. Maybe that’d be better
Game took a negative turn for me
With xserver shit
Like wotlk I touching group finder for dungeons
I kinda just want a forced reset honestly
Bc Introducing heroic dungeons
I want a forced reset to classic, and rebuild from thete
Same I think that’d be pretty good
Every expansion after classic added worse and worse systems
Like the cross server lfg for dungeons, fuck no
Make people find groups in tradechat
But then again gdkp ruined everything for most xpacs
That's why arpgs survive, seasonal resets
Diablo 2 LoD MVP for replayability and longevity
I know people who are still playing d2lod and didn't move to d2r lul
They could copy and paste the retail version of premade group finder. Just not lfr or dungeon finder.
They're just stuck in the past, good for them tho if they can enjoy that
I’d also be happy with re balancing classes for classic as well
Maybe optimizing talent trees etc
I really think they need to
- Remove tokens from classic
- Ban gdkp and enforce it. (It'll still happen behind closed doors)
- Stick with design philosophies that made mmos 1999-2005 so amazing.
Keep it simple 1-3 button rotations but make the classes do more damage
Meh, nothing wrong with GDKP
It heavily incentives RMT, botting, and other things that are economy crippling
And it’s a opt in anyways; people run MS>OS and GDKP
Notice the gold economy from classic p1-3 to wotlk.
Just make gdkp unallowed, make people run that shit in the fringes.
They will never remove bots completely, unfortunately
the issue is, whatst the logic behind banning GDKP; its essentially people raiding and then buying items with gold
would the rule be 'cannot buy items with gold in a raid group?"
that sounds silly
Idk, make it arbitrary idc lmao
Gdkp works for pugs truthfully
works extremely well for pugs
and, it incentivizes people to raid even when full geared as carrys
I might be more of a loaner with this take but I really dislike wasting my 2-3 hours of gameplay everyday farming gold. I’d rather be grinding dungeons/raids/ or bgs for fun
So I personally don’t mind the wow token or bots making everything dirt cheap because it makes the way I want to play the game easier
Oh yeah it’s not worth it at current price
Is that all it gets you?
the Economy in Wrath is actually fucked; but its not cause of GDKP, but the other listed reasons of RMT and gold farming/botting
Is the strat still go like saronitr around winter grasp, vendor bars, buy tokens?
Damn dude. I got 1mil retail for 4k gold in wotlk when I stopped
the strat is to get in a in with your friends GDKP guild and get a 40k payout after one night
thats the strat
but its also awesome for me; im still a little rat in Wrath, but i want to be able to run GDKPs and make gold.... to exchange for retail gold
Naxx was mid and toc was shiiiiit
The economy is absolutely trash in classic because of the bots
So gold there is bloated
What are you gonna do
Ill swear though, the wrath classic community is the most toxic and vile group of people I have ever had the misfortune of playing with
Wrath Classic
Hardcore community from my experience is good, and I dont know about Classic Era servers tbf
You cannot fix the botting and RMT issue with the workforce blizzard wants
It's skeleton crew for everything
The classic community is a lot of toxicity tbqh. The ones who played 2019 classic went thru tbc and wotlk
Need dedicated teams and people. Look what they did to the CS department
Hardcore is separate
that boat has already left the dock tbh
Yeah they'd need to rehire
I don't think you'll see hc tbc/wrath
that would be crazy
I don’t think so either
Same, raiding was made to wipe LOL
Cuz the whole point of hc classic is that leveling is the game
The pyramid of corpses it'd take to get through ulduar alone LOL
And leveling in tbc and wrath is a much much much smaller part of the game
(also why they're better)
Mobile games are better than classic wow if you ask me
Just a different game with similar engine
Good thing..
We didn't ask
1 button gaming WOOOOO
Classic levelling is not everyone's cup of tea, and that's okay
1 mob gaming WOOOOO
Yeah classic leveling is very boring
Excuse me? I had to hit recklessness every 30 minutes
Don’t disagree with that at all
Like, it's great that people enjoy classic
But it ain't stopping me from making fun of classic
You ever do a 6 hour molten core rai d? Kill boss use reck, log out to keep world buffs and reset 30minute reck xD for next boss
Parse run went brrr
Classic levelling is the best when you're drunk and/or on other substances (idk if this is allowed to mention)
But kicking back and relaxing on an easy game that doesn't need a lot of brainpower is enjoyable for me at times
there are certain things about classic leveling that were fun
some dungeons are just iconic
and soloing Cyclonian at level 35 is such a feat
Also hi nomer. I used your parry strat in 21 uld last night and parried some filthy casuals and got my KSH last night. Pretty hyped
Based
otherwise.... the auto attack->Rage spender every 10 seconds is : ^)
Warlock for classic
I was a warrior, I had a lot of fun
Or rogue for world pvp ganks
Now I'm done till next season so I can run some 17s/18s and work on my UI for serious tanking next season
both wrong
Because even if you die your dots will kill them
the correct answer is always warrior
Fomo is hell of a drug
I need a shield block WA, any suggestions? I didn't see one in a pin
Fomo ruins my experience in wow
Just get mine 
Warrior for gigachad raiding
Fomo is almost exclusively why I play
I need to find a way to track my shield block time
Love exclusive locked away stuff
Where can I find it?
Dk and rogue
shameless self plug 
Ballsy move calling out the parry god himself
We're all parrygods, nom is just the only one that wears the obnoxious orange shirt with the logo
I have a warrior hud kicking around
We had a war in here last night that was running like 120 WA
I just need some weak auras set up to track shield block and maybe some other stuff
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
Try this, it's pretty basic shit
Rage bar + IP bar
Nothing fancy, boomer text size
Cause my eyes are shit
Rage bar is helpful IP bar is helpful, I'll add a shield block bar later
Yeah I have an IP tracker but I need a shield block one
You know, I can't read a fucking food label but have no issues with tiny text on my UI elements
Lul
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
This is my Aug hud
Tracks might, essense, essense burst, and looks cute lmao
I like cute colours xD
Does everyone and their roommate have an Aug? I skipped aberrus and don't have an evoker levelled at all
Yes
It's the #1 DPS for keys
#2-5 don't exist
Start at #6 for the second best dps
Man looking at my buds lul
You can tell I design with a very particular look
Literally don't have a dracthyr
Can't be warrior, can't be fucked to care
0
Rip your fomo
No that's why I like fomo
I don't have em
That's okay
They're cool, I didn't commit to getting them
I like the dk set a lot
Yeah dk pally and warrior are insane
I'm glad I have it
Paladin in ToS Mythic is fine
Warrior no replacement
Rogue looks good
And dk looks insane
holy vulpera
Kill the rats
Should I just eat the tornados in m+? Last night I ran a VP and tried to avoid them and I almost died cause I think I accidentally let shield block drop for a second. I know my IP dropped off a lot cause of the tornado dance
i mean depends on what you do
sometimes its good to soak tornados before certain abilities so people dont die
but on like the first boss in VP you probably dont wanna go out of your way to eat all tornados
in case you get hit by ground clutter
its about timing it
Let me rephrase; should I not bother to reposition the trash to avoid tornados and whatever hits me, hits me
What's your current bottle neck?
same there there's no real hard rule it depends on what mobs would do
but i never really move away
i soak if anything
but if theres a lot of tornados and there's a tough spell coming through maybe itd be better to get away
4070 needs to drop another 200$ to be worth the money
Since it's legitimately the 4050 with that 192-bit memory bus
Also yogi, don't buy stuff on black Friday without checking price trends
Most retailers just jacked their prices by 10-15% so they can discount them and make it look like a deal
10-15% sale isnt a sale imo
thats about how much sale tax costs
i have, 5600x, 3070, 64 gb ddr4 ram
so, gpu doesnt require new motherboard which requires new ram, to put in new cpu
(am5)
maybe at worst a new psu, or case, and those items are evergreen, they never go bad or old unless you smash them
You're not going to see big gains from using a 4070 over the 3070, basically the same card minus dlss3. Biggest long-term gain would be popping a 5800x3d in that am4 slot
more like 1440p content at 144hz (120 realistically)
and second monitor
1440p 120 hz is ALOT of data
and so i get fucked if i try to also tell it to load all 8gb vram
120fps + when it works, is bis
and, just, 60 fps solid garunteed never dips below 59 ever, is amazing also
50 fps = yogi rage
source
rdr2
still mad
4070 isn't newer tech, it's literally the 3080 but with 60% less bus
4000 series is a cash grab dumpster fire for gullible people
its still like, 20% faster than 3070 i have
You'll be sadly disappointed if you think that's true
i watched loads of videos on yt fps comparisons
It's at best a 5% generation jump
Were they using dlss 3
Because that's the only time the 4000 cards gain, is with franegen
Which, there Will be franegen soon enough for the 3000 cards

CYBE...
yeah i watched something like this i think, probably this video
but like, 1070, 22 fps, 4070, 101 fps
like, thats 4 times over
Imagine having massive gains over 5 generations
1600 was a thing
Yup
1660 super was originally tagged the 1670
Just like the 4070 is actually the 4060
yeah, 63celcious for 80fps compared to 71c for 25 fps in cp2077
like, i mean, it speaks for itself
Because universally the 70s have used a 256bit bus(since the gt 600s)
Nvidia shifted the names to the right, so they can charge higher prices for the weaker parts
They tried to be even worse but the backlash
Was too great for even them
When they tried to release the 4070 ti as a 4080
well, i would like 4070ti, but it needs psu probably
i could probaly do it on one i have, but i'd feel better if i had 850 psu instead of 750
is cloak still necessary for nyalthoa
Probably
Good thing I'm playing a game from 2004
Engine was revamped in WOD and SL added raytracing
Yes
Well raytrsced shadows
You will get Auto MC'd by nzoth if you don't have cloak on
I still get like 120fps
With my shitty 1080
wonder if they intend on keeping it like that
i played the first like 2 weeks of 8.3
1080 is Nvidia's biggest regret
so my cloak is dog
How come lol
Because it was too good
I got it like 6 years ago or some shit
It's honestly just super solid
Dursble
Runs cool
Yeah it's still showing up on benches vs 4000 cards
definitely overcharging for it and they're definitely abusing past naming schemes to double down on that, but the cards independent of that aren't a dumpster fire
Plus my card seems healthy should be able to stretch it's life out to like 2030
Before needing to upgrade.
When performance per dollar is half of the previous Generation that's a dumpster fire
The 4000 series is obscenely power efficient - yes you can ram them up to inefficient speeds for questionable gains, but the raw perf per watt especially at tamer levels was a massively leap over the 3000 series.
Also underhandedly trying to force upgrades by artificially locking franegen to the 4000series when even back to the 1000series could use it
do people still overclock their gpu
Guys idk if you crafted anything on the PTR but about a month ago I did some heroic testing and as a joke crafted the weird shield helmet
And it did as much as my IP during the fights
You can, not really needed with all the various scaling tech, and GPU are capable of bottlenecking on the cpu
This is variable, but also uncontrollable defensive items tend to be "meh"
The question is, was it being consumed before IP? Thus, screwing the parse?
It's a shit helmet
If your IP only did 5k hps idk what you've been pressing
But also
The helmet has been nerfed by 80%
That’s quite the assumption
oof
Ok
So you're probably looking at pre-nerf helmet
Thats why I was asking
Blizzard being big brain -
"People might actually use this item we created, we better nerf it so hard it's unborn grandchildren can't walk"
I made it as a joke to just put as many crafted items on my char as our healer was late
80% feels like a serious "I can't be fucked to math this for balance"
And after three pulls of the weapon smith girl one of my healers went “wtf is that buff”
Yah idk what it is with blizzard and shit embellishs
They're no longer a 1% power target like in s1
So remove it from equation
But also not much more than 2%
It's because tanks damage profiles are allover the place, bad concept for an item that just gets worse when try to apply actual use scenarios
Also it just doesn't give dmg
And if you have the choice between random absorb and actual dmg
You pick dmg
That too
damn im too late to flex my gpu...
It in a world where defense mattered
Never
i splurged on 4090 and 7950x3d with custom waterloop
4090 is the only real generation upgrade in the 4000 series
7959x3d though, idk if it's enough of a boost over the 7800x3d
my 3080 and 5800x3d were choppy at times when streaming and recording separately on the same pc at 4k
stream 1080p and local recoeding 4k
it depends if youre using it for productivity stuff or not
for gaming the 7800 and 7950 are bascically the same
Yeah true, raw gaming probably not but encoding for sure you want that extra oomph
I use my Intel integrated graphics to encode my stream
ya im aware, i do make use of the extra cores from time to time, and tbf a lot of the cost to upgrade was mobo and ram too, so another couple hundred to take 7950x3d over 7800x3d isnt too bad
X3d chips are turning into the best purchase in a long time
And I don't have twitch dashboard open on other monitor
That FUCKS with smooth frames
That website is literally illegal
thats a decent option too
nvenc encoder squeezes out a bit more quality with the very limited bitrate you get on twitch though
based
Integrated graphics does the job really well
And using chatterino over twitch dashboard, + embed edit page + alert box into obs
what is the edit page thing that youre talking about
Those am5 boards were insanely priced, like cheapest one when I was upgrading was 650$
So I just bought a better am4 and grabbed the 5800x3d for 300$ total black Friday last year
thats my 2nd monitor setup basically
my obs chat box literally crashed my twitch consistently after a certain update that added ad break alerts to the chat box
havent used the obs chat dock for a while after that, but maybe it's fixed now
something to make nome mad cuz i know hes from germany (loosely) YT premium going up there
i can recommend chatterino
works perfectly and you can make clips yourself quicker
but i guess you record so dont need clips
i'll give it a try, looks nice
are normal dragonflight dungeons soloable with protection warior 440 with sarka trinket
Yes
oh thats neat
@strong forum hi, which tank does the most st dmg in 10.2 for progression raid
vdh
thank you 
@lament shell 👀
If bdk is too hard, and warrior is too hard, and I don't like bear
What'd the next best tank
For keys
yah warrior considered easy by most people
we did a full 180 from SL to DF
from hardest tank by a mile
to borderline easiest tank
weird question but will the catalyst charges for THIS season carry over as a separate currency into next patch? cus i wanna get the tier mog for my legs but the secondaries are worse
on the tier
do not carry over into s3 catalyst
dam
What's the easiest tank
bear
I heard I am supposed to swap between
you will keep your s2 charges however i think
Bstwmce and dstsnce
should be able to throw s2 and s1 gear into catalyst for those sets
yeah
yeah thats what im wondering abuot
Now i don't think I'm good enough
bstance most of the time in most content, treat d-stance as extra defensive CD as last measure
Can I just send it in dstance in keys
and in push content, you can more freely sit in d-stance on trash pulls
you can sit in d-stance as much as you want
its just a ~6% dps loss to do so
macro ignore pain and shield block. dont do that
I miss my orit warr
makes warrior much easier to play if you have troubles
Kinda scared of everbloom tho
i got 40% crit its nice
Idk how long and hard the legendary quest line js
But I uh
Want it for my pvp chars
Like ret paladin, arms warrior, FDK, bdk
amen
i just know i want it cuz of the mog
the true endgame
Im working on Shadowmourne
so I can fury warrior
with Shadowmourne and the new Axe

I want it for bdk
Imagine not already having it smh.....
jeez augusto I thought you were based turtleman
This
what kind of bdk has no shadowmourne???
I have to convine my friends to help me with the vampire bite part of the quest
well... tbf.... 2h axes on humans look awful; once I get the lego axe, I gotta race change to Orc or something
Are you Eu or Na?
NA
I'll let you bite me
😮
I know theres a way to do it solo
I just have to get 4 toons in a raid together
and alt f4 a bunch
just gotta do it ya know
Today's fucked though, my meeting schedule is 15min gaps all day, no space for wow fuckery
I did ICC yesterday.... but in Classic
I still have no clue what is going on in that raid
except for blood queen
blood queen actually makes sense to me XD
By today's standards they're all pretty easy
I mean even back in the day, the wings were time gated to keep guilds from destroying aryhas day 1
yea; they arent hard; but mechanics feel much less telegraphed in Classic then retail
I also dont like tanking in classic; I feel like im at the mercy of my healer too much
Some dude made an addon that displayed the range of AES on the screen
Trivialized most of the fights
Yeah even bdk and paladin
and Death Strike healing is capped at 10% heal
and not % heal
like, da fudge is this shit
That didn't change until uh, Legion
I think Cata
Cata we just didn't take damage (I didn't play bdk until Legion)
I only played warriors and druids
Cata introduced the mastery but also introduced % heal based on damage taken over 5 seconds
I loved playing DK in cata
Ah, here I was hard capping crit block
It was like alt 3 and all I used it for was farming trash in Firelands
Wrath D Strike is a heal for 5% per disease on target

Yeah hadvq frost DK that destroyed the ah market on hellscream by selling fl boe
And then undercut the gem bots

Cata was a strange time for me, I started as a pwar, had that guild implode doing heroic 25 BWD
Then played a mm hunter in fl
Then enhance Shaman in dragonsoul, until finally going arms warrior for heroic prog
Because arms was so fucking meaty
I thought I beat the game cause I qued for LFR, killed Deathwing, got the sword and quit
I didnt understand that there was non queable content
I thought LFR was the raid difficulty

A lot of people think that
Normal? I aint no Normie. Heroic? Never heard of her
Something like half the player base never goes above queueable content
Wow didn’t think they’d have a final round of ptr m+ testing
I bet its more then half
queable content takes away that first level of social anxiety
with having to find/make a group
This is why I try and teach lfr tanks the basics when I endup in one that mr fresh out of diapers paladin goes "I don't have the taunt ability"
Says it's warrior only
any time I go to LFR and the other tank tries to taunt of me I get so tilted
like look dude, you are losing aggro to my dps, just let me do it
Haha yeah I got asked if I could somehow do less damage than them so they could get aggro
"idk I can't really go under"auto attack"
its a idk moment tbh
like, this is his content I imagine and im sort of just coming in there and doing everything
but like, what else am I gonna do? afk?
maybe its placebo but feels like you get shadowfrost shards more often if ur wearing shadowmounre
My dogs mad at me because I'm trying to quit smoking and do she's not getting walks every 2 hours, @blazing condor can you convince her that it's for the best
tell her "sniff sniff, raise ears, tilt head, bark"
Got it
just downloaded warcraft rumble

Is BDK the only reactive tank?
naw, been slacking
Not even that reactive, but vdh and monk have similar recovery models
This. Prot pally too to a degree.
Everyone is similar in being somewhat proactive
Have active mit up or die bitch
I guess we should shift this terminology away from "reactive" to "recovery"
Dying as a bdk and trying to recover without DRW 
Since there is still preemptive gameplay needed for bdk
Bdk going into a pull dry 
Like a balsawood strap-on

But, on seatbelts question, bdk is the highest in the recovery end of the spectrum, but iirc not the Lowest in the mitigation (vdh?)
Trying to figure out what alt I want to roll that can tank as well
Conquer m+ on two fronts
All of the tanks are fine, going from warrior to bdk is jarring
Maybe a change in playstyle is a good thing tho
Like you legitimately go from not taking noticable damage to full yoyo
It's just understanding that rp is more important than hp
If you're out of runic power and get slapped you're fucked
But you can get dropped to 5% and press DS once and be gold
My only gripe is I would miss charge x 2 plus heroic leap plus intervene for movement, every other tank feels so sluggish
Pally as well
what is that in real currency
are you kidding me, wait, hmm, im not sure
51€
is that a reduced price? isnt it?
yeah looks like
Yes, since normally it was 95$ CAD
I've never considered looking at vdh for a tank tbh maybe I should look there. When I log on my druid/pally/ dk alts and try to tank a dungeon I feel like molasses
i wonder if anyone else got that
I think monk is too many binds
70% more value!111
800% more value even
WW is too many so I don't have a dps spec to fall back on
27 hotkeys for monk, scuffed design
Too many
Yeah
So I guess I'll look at my dh again and see how that plays as a tank
Need a class that can fall back on dps
Is that the ability rotation? 112 repeat
vdh pretty fun
just personally not a fan of the spirit bomb/soul cleave dynamic that apparently everyone likes for some reason
There's a bit more than that, but yeah you generate souls and consume them
I really want to like a bear tank but idk. Something seems off. Maybe it's cause it's 60
Bear is closest to warriors
a way wayyyyyyyyyyyyy easier warrior
That's my usual primary-alt
Only because we can block with our butt
hey guuuys, i died in this kill and would like to know if i could have done anything different to survive
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/QvNhdK7p8nRFk3ZB#fight=last&type=damage-done
you took 11 stacks
youre gonna die if you dont have defensives/externals at that point
is this a pug or a guild?
if its a guild, have one of your DKs go insidious chill
your warlock is doing okay since they are putting curse of weakness as they should
Was coming back to say this
Even with CDs rolling 11 stacks is death unless you're getting tunneled by heals and not tanking
okok, i guess i didnt realize i took 11 stacks
Like if the other tank dies your healers need to stack externals on you
Being open in communication with healers on externals is pro gameplay
yes
that was... a movement malfunction
I use my "squealing girl " voice to call for ps
yee i know
do you have the WA
was not planned
But yeah need to slow that bosses attacks
https://wago.io/hQTgSaOKk very useful for both tanks to have so you know where each other are
☝️
i dont no, i track the debuff thoug
it'll just spam /say so make sure you have chat bubbles
thats not tracking the debuff
its so you know where your cotank is
so you dont double or yikes triple clear by accident
oooh
Gotta let your healers parse
ah well i dont need it anymore now xD
of course it has some added whatever
but thanks
well they necro'd it

either way i couldnt see anyone addressing the original claim
Yeah, if you have logs we can explain what you're doing wrong
Like how often are you hitting IP
shall we play the prot warrior bingo ikari?
"overspending on revenge"
Not enough WW
Low ilvl shield
well its 437 so i dont think that's it
Hmm
His shield might be 447 or 395
so yeah the low ilvl shield is still in play
Link character?
this is one of those
that we will never hear about again, i reckon
or we will get "i forgot to log"
But my bingo card
Ip spam
I can do logs because my pc is trash, but sometimes a friend makes
well we can scratch that from the bingo card
lol
I'm a main healer btw, trying just to have fun as a tank sometimes
so which is the run?
BH
no logs, only leaderboard
fk
ok neltharus has a log i guess
bad
BAD (in neltharus)
bad
and of course 0 blazing slashes blocked because no spell block
of course this is only a 13
ilvl 424 shield
bad
trying to get another, probably crafting up to 447 today
Yes
should i replace battle scared to spell block?
Shield is like half our defensive budget
shield is the #1 thing you have to craft as a prot warrior
You're letting SB drop while being meleed
the first upgrade
Which is just going to get you slapped
Just got another aura to watch this specially
noticed that some days ago
some pulls rn I got a 2-3sec window sometimes without sb
Switch itf to hr
read what your tier does
what

good to know, thats clearly a mistake that i can change
Only 4 sw
and your tier is not being used at all
Ls and sw should be up in that 20ish range
Prot warriors #2 rule is just send it
#1 is don't turn your back
He has DA
Swap da to impenetrable wall, it'll dramatically improve your rage budget and give you sw every minute or so
Ok, thanks for the help, It will be pretty useful. Knowing the class aswell
Really yhanks for your healp
appreciated that
2xshadowflame embellishments going to be for ST and AOE ?
Both
2x shadowlame OR 1x shadowflame and unstable frostfire belt
yeah thats for this patch not next
both options are good and have been good since s2
doesnt matter
thats for next patch as well
there's no changes in that regard
Is shadow flame still the projected go to for s3 with the nerfs?
Ah
our s2 embelishments wont change into s3
therefore
#protection message this is accurate
Ok. I was kinda disappointed by the nerfs but didn’t consider that it’s just scaling adjustment.
i dont think crafting belt is that hot anymore
cuz its more of a stat loss
than bracers/cloak for shadowflame
same goes for shield even in the event of shield of hearth simming well now
so thats why its not like that in the faq
but i mean that also assumes you can get vault/mythic raid slots filled
well yeah its "BiS"
thanks a lot for that.. I have been swapping to warrior cause we needed battle shout and iv been holding out on crafting cause i was unsure
and 90% of the people here wont see those
i guess
logged onto my rogue for the first time in like 10 years
turns out i have almost completed fangs of the father + have 1 glaive + eye of sulfuras
and this was my tmog bank (before collection was a thing)
shits wild
yeah some of my characters banks/void storage are filled with old stuff
i have an abandoned mage, priest and druid
idk if this got brought up yet @strong forum but what do you think about this things for tanks
yeah nah
theres just better options
nothing that lets you also save the dps noobs from 1 shots
signet, infinite more dmg
fyrakk, infinite more dmg, comparable absorb
(even tho i hate em) cheat death
this trinket at best is a healer trinket
for say disc priest
cuz the disc doesnt have any defensives
so the disc gotta use absorb trinkets for himself to survive keys
you can put it on other people too though
like losing 7-15% dmg
both of them are
right, its even worse than ward cause you cant even put it on yourself
you can put it on yourself
so its not mega useless
well i stand corrected
there's no treemouth equivalent though right?
