OF FLOWERS

warm plinth
#

I'm not saying his accomplishment wasn't hard

teal swift
#

The same low level flowers

strong forum
#

How is that better than leveling slow

teal swift
#

Idk, specless is easier

strong forum
#

But still being able to quest

warm plinth
#

Because at least you can turn your brain off picking flowers

strong forum
#

Bruh

#

That's beyond turn off

teal swift
#

You can level specless with professions too

strong forum
#

That's straight up rot

warm plinth
#

I don't think you understand just how bad a specless toon is.

teal swift
#

You can buy power leveling

warm plinth
#

You can't level shit with professions

teal swift
#

Why not

warm plinth
#

Do you know how much XP you can gain from professions now lol

strong forum
#

I dotn think you understand how bad spending thousands of hours just picking flowers is

warm plinth
#

I just calculated it

#

Like I said, I'm not saying his accomplishment isn't hard

#

I'm saying specless is also hard

teal swift
#

I leveled 60-66 picking flowers the other night

warm plinth
#

And requires more mental effort

#

Because you actually have to pay attention to the game

#

Since you spend 5 minutes killing 1 fucking mob

#

You get exactly 169,100 XP from professions now

#

Before it caps out

teal swift
#

You can keep picking flowers

strong forum
#

So 169100 flowers

teal swift
#

I did 60-66

warm plinth
#

Which is about ~42% of a level at 69

strong forum
#

100 flowers alone will make me wanna tear my eyes out

warm plinth
#

I'm talking about first crafts, not herb/mining

strong forum
#

Cuz it's so much brain rot

teal swift
#

Just flying around picking flowers

#

Oh

#

Level specless with peacebloom

warm plinth
#

Why would I do that? Specless started as a meme with some friends; that's the only reason I even leveled it

#

We were going to try to do keys with a full group of specless toons

teal swift
#

What happened to that

warm plinth
#

3 of the people were lazy fucks

strong forum
#

We were gonna do the same between TCs

#

In SL

warm plinth
#

Realistically, it would've been awful

strong forum
#

But it kinda fell flat

warm plinth
#

If you somehow got them giga-geared then you could maybe do like a +10 but that's probably pushing it.

#

You just do zero damage and zero healing

#

My priest does 1k dps

strong forum
#

So like

#

The same as your average pug healer on lvl 70

warm plinth
#

Yeah but imnagine your entire party doing that lol

#

imagine*

toxic pewter
#

wat ur guys favorite healer to play

warm plinth
#

Haven't really played many. I enjoyed resto shaman in Shadowlands

#

Rdruid is pretty cool

#

Mistweaver is too busy

lusty grotto
#

i like hpal

#

i used to like rdruid but i havent played it in so long

toxic pewter
#

resto shaman still my fav personally

lusty grotto
#

i have never

#

ever

#

played shaman

#

that is the one class i have never touched

#

ever

#

since vanilla

plush tendon
#

I like Shamans, Pres Voker, and HPAL

warm plinth
#

I miss vesper totem 😢

plush tendon
#

Priests eat way too much dirt, druids are always oom, and MW I dont see enough

toxic pewter
#

wow really? shaman most fun class beside warrior for me

lusty grotto
#

nimchip tidbits

#

i disliked totem management backthen

#

just the idea of it

toxic pewter
#

fair enough

lusty grotto
#

so i never leveled one

plush tendon
#

Shamans are cool

toxic pewter
#

totem are still a thing but the philosphy around them are sort of different, they more like cooldowns these days

#

instead of having to have them placed all the time

#

except a few like windfury i guess

plush tendon
#

underrepresented class.... but their skill animations are really cool

#

and they get sneaky good TMOG

lusty grotto
#

i dont hate them

#

my friend plays rsham

#

and i love windfury of course

#

im just not interested in playing them 🙂

toxic pewter
#

just wish ele shaman had something cool like windfury they can bring

plush tendon
#

fair

#

most people arent; I wouldnt play one myself.... but they still got a lot of cool stuff

#

except a raid buff

lusty grotto
#

yeah i wish they would get some love ngl

plush tendon
#

just give them raid wide multistrike

#

you wont blizz

toxic pewter
#

its kinda messed up enh has had windfury totem for so long and ele has had nothing equivalent..

warm plinth
#

They had skyfury totem at one point I thought

lusty tiger
#

Ele should have a choice between wf and skyfury totem

toxic pewter
#

for years now they have had nothing

lusty tiger
#

And maybe some kind of shoehorned in raid buff like monks get with their healing taken/avoidance

lusty grotto
#

they should have skyfury for sure

#

both specs should have both as options

warm plinth
#

Man now what do I do

#

I know

#

Next week I do a key on every one of them

#

Just for the lulz

silver narwhal
#

How do you sim as tank? 😮

warm plinth
#

Same as DPS.

#

But it just sims damage of course

silver narwhal
#

Ah. Easy enough then.

warm plinth
#

You can't sim survivability

toxic pewter
#

why can survivability not be simmed anyway

#

like is it just so complicated

warm plinth
#

Because it's a lot more variable than damage

lusty grotto
# silver narwhal How do you sim as tank? 😮

for ST:

  • 1 patchwerk
  • 3 mins
  • remove buffs that you wont have (keep battle shout)
  • make sure lust is enabled

for keys:

  • 5 patchwerks
  • 1 min or 1.5 mins
  • remove buffs that you wont have (keep battle shout)
  • remove lust
toxic pewter
#

is there any method to sim survivability knowing it is extremely variable

lusty grotto
#

apb because in the EJ days, only EHP and shit like that was "simmed"

toxic pewter
#

what is ej

lusty grotto
#

elitist jerks

#

ion's guild

toxic pewter
#

oh right

warm plinth
#

I think AMR claims to be able to sim it but I don't think anyone has really dug into it because it wouldn't really be useful to sim that.

lusty grotto
#

also

#

Damage = Defensiveness

#

or at least most damage contributes to it

#

and/or proper play which is what our APL uses

warm plinth
#

Every stat contributes to survival, and you get armor and stamina from higher ilevel gear, so realistically the answer would probably be "just get ilevel" anyway.

toxic pewter
#

yeah dang, thats a good point I am thinking only incoming damage when outgoing damage from the player also plays a huge role..

#

hmmm

#

it definitely is a can of worms

#

yeah damn

warm plinth
#

But if you think about it like this. For damage, the only real variable is uptime

toxic pewter
#

right

proper roost
#

am i going to see you on november 30th @lusty grotto

lusty grotto
#

a lot of survivability sims were just EHP baloons

proper roost
lusty grotto
#

maybe you will

#

it sounds interesting

warm plinth
#

For survival, you have to take into account uptime from both sides (since offensive uptime also has an impact on survival), damage types, timing on that damage for CD usage, etc.

lusty grotto
#

im def not gonna say no to season of discovery

warm plinth
#

It would be a headache, to oversimplify it lol

lusty grotto
#

it does sound really interesting

#

sidegaming it basically

proper roost
#

coincidence that all of discord just went down right as i asked about classic

#

🤔

lusty tiger
#

Yeah it has piqued my interested a lot

limpid tide
#

I don't get it, is the zackrawr guy paying for a party so hey gets KSH?

torn gulch
#

no

#

he has dorki helping him today as well?

limpid tide
#

floorki, must be dorki 🤣

torn gulch
#

yesterday they did some keys together as well

#

he has a strong party helping him get KSM

proper roost
#

but ya def not as a main game, more like 2-3 hours fucking around a week or so @lusty grotto

lusty grotto
#

yeah

torn gulch
#

wait why is my writing red

proper roost
#

discord saw we were talking about cringe game and shut down

torn gulch
#

he actually tanked 2 24's yesterday i was suprised

#

and he's tanking a 22 now interesting

lone wren
#

for solo content we have some talen builds or i jsut use multi target dungeon dps on?

lusty grotto
#

hard to say

#

in this disc we dont focus on that

#

i suppose they work

#

idk what youre trying to solo though

#

leveling?

uneven mason
#

The max DPS build works great for soloing

lusty grotto
#

depends on what hes trying to solo

#

SL raids? uhhh....

#

probs not right now 🙂

novel temple
#

Do we still get banner in SL raids?

lusty grotto
#

yeah

novel temple
#

Or any of the SL covenant abilities?

lusty grotto
#

yup

#

you just dont get leggos

novel temple
#

That’s cash money

lusty grotto
#

iirc

#

until TW happens at least

novel temple
#

Leggos wouldn’t be good anyway

#

Since the stat decrease

lusty grotto
#

well sure

#

but without unity you cant extend banner

#

iirc

#

soooo yea

novel temple
#

Oof, I can’t remember

#

I wish they would’ve brought banner into dragonflight

lusty grotto
#

yeah its unity that extended it

#

so kinda useless having banner without it i guess

You need maxed archeology skill to enter next xpac

plush tendon

AA was da bomb

sick sentinel
#

im quittin wow

#

if u have to do arch

#

as is

plush tendon
#

I would do Archeology if I could get a Indiana Jones TMOG

you know what the biggest problem of wall with arc is

#

its just 975 points

teal swift

who the fuck says, im gunna go lvl 950 points in arch today

teal swift
#

The stupid fucking bug mount was pain to get

sick sentinel
#

i got the bug mount

teal swift
#

I got mine suuuuper late

sick sentinel
#

thats only thing i truly wanted

plush tendon
#

Archeology would be cool if you could get cool TMOG or like alt starter level gear

sick sentinel
#

they should remove the archeology racial from dwarves and make it into the profession talents

plush tendon
#

Arch was a cata thing yea?

#

who cant wait for Archeology Classic XD

sick sentinel
#

the it goes faster part , thats deftness or whatever its called now and you can put points into it to get +5 +10 +25 deft

#

could be another minigame as well too, there was some quests in BFA you had to uncover dinosaur bones, quests in that vein could work

silver narwhal
#

Do you use any specific weakauras to remind you to use shield block? Or does it become second nature at one point?

lusty grotto
#

theres a few in wago

#

i use my own

#

most warrior wa's have one

silver narwhal

Audio cues?

teal swift

Can't you just spam SB

you can make one easily if thats what you want

It was a question

lusty grotto

its suboptimal if its played like that

Okay, what's the uptime on SB

If you send it nonstop

thats one i did for a friend

lusty grotto
#

have fun reading through Jakey's

teal swift
#

So RN it doesn't matter, but building bad habits now will fuck me when they nerf uptime

#

Got it

lusty grotto
#

you played in sl

#

you werent supposed to do that in sl

#

so why are you asking

dusky canopy
#

SL uptime

lusty grotto
#

im just so confused

dusky canopy
lusty grotto
#

yeah i mean

#

so weird

modern gazelle
#

Do you guys play alts for raid and swap based on boss or just main war?

lusty grotto
#

the one expansion where SB uptime was ass until later

dusky canopy
#

I play warrior

#

And play all 3 specs

modern gazelle
#

I prefer playing one toon but guild is asking me to gear an alt. I disagree that you need any specific tank for a fight since all tanks can easily do mythic raid even

warm plinth
#

You would definitely not play a completely separate toon

dusky canopy
#

Well as tank it makes sense for them to want an alt if one is very strong on a specific fight

warm plinth
#

Off-spec maybe but not a different toon??? that's so weird

dusky canopy
#

But that’s like top 500 mental (or 200 even honestly*)

modern gazelle
#

If we were pushing for rank sure

dusky canopy
#

If you’re in a casual CE guild you do not need to have an alt tank imo

modern gazelle
#

It’s a CE guild but not like hardcore push for rank

dusky canopy
#

But I’m not the guild owner of your guild

modern gazelle
#

That’s how i feel so not sure if ima stick with them new guild I was gonna raid with but just bummer if I have to look for another guild at start of season

dusky canopy
#

It’s common for the tank roll to fill buffs or utility required

#

But again that’s like not a casual CE thing imo

lusty grotto
#

sadly that's the casual ce mentality

#

just like lower keys

warm plinth
#

Well, requiring you to play x class is somewhat fine? But requiring you to have the tank and also play a completely separate alt based on the boss is...what

lusty grotto
#

its more common than you think

warm plinth
#

But on the plus side

dusky canopy
#

I would swap guild before class if it wasn’t something I wanted

warm plinth
#

I had chickie nuggies

dusky canopy
#

Just my 2cents

dusky canopy
modern gazelle
#

Yeah I just enjoy pwar a lot so when I go to gear my alts I just get so bored lol

#

DH is like the only one I kind of enjoy

teal swift
dusky canopy
#

For me wiping to a boss on a class I don’t want to be playing just makes the experience that much worse so why allow it?

#

Not only that but the accomplishment of killing the boss isn’t tracked on the toon you want it to be tracked on

#

All around just meh

warm plinth
modern gazelle
#

lol you can dps in my keys

warm plinth
#

Imagine trying to figure out which toon to play keks

warm plinth
#

play your mage. WHICH ONE?!

dusky canopy
#

All 7 of them

#

At the same time

lusty grotto
#

yeah its shit behavior on their part

#

i dont agree with it at all

#

but its very common

dusky canopy
#

@modern gazelle look at sense, iirc him and his wife do war/bear always

#

No need to have an alt

warm plinth
#

Sense's wife plays too? ExcitedBlushette

#

POWER COUPLE

strong forum
#

yeah

dusky canopy
#

Yeah I so happen to catch some chat about that like a month ago

modern gazelle
dusky canopy
#

Honestly jelous

modern gazelle
#

imo every bit of content in the game is able to be done with basically any combo of classes up until like the very top m+

uneven mason
#

Not always

modern gazelle
#

you need some variety in raid but the 2 tank spots arent gonna make or break any fight imo

warm plinth
#

first rule of skyhold is we don't talk about the time Sense betrayed us

dusky canopy
#

That was MDI anyway

warm plinth

I am cracking up seeing all the tweets and reddit posts about people putting the foam sword rack blocking doorways keks

lusty grotto
#

why

#

what does it matter

ebon geyser
#

I hate that guy and the simps that give him shit instead of earning it

lusty grotto
#

thats just spite

#

who cares

#

its good for dorki

#

he gets to lure viewers to his channel

lusty tiger
#

why do you hate asmon

#

there is nothing to hate, he only promotes the community which pays for new xpacs and regular balancing

lusty grotto
#

idk, every streamer has simps, its not just asmon so its weird to single him out on that point alone

lusty tiger
#

you would be an idiot to deny getting some of asmon's clout

lusty grotto
#

like i dont watch him

lusty tiger
#

esp as a streamer

lusty grotto
#

but i dont have a problem with him

lusty tiger
#

same

#

carl has cooked takes anywho

grand veldt
#

Asmon playing the game is indicative about a lot

#

Means casuals finding retail fun again, it's a good sign, and should be encouraged

blazing condor
#

so whats the deal with keystone levels between seasons

#

what level should you do next week

#

to get a "high" key for s3

lusty grotto
#

its always 9 levels lower than your highest key for the week

#

so a 29 yields a 20

grand veldt
#

Do we have affixed this coming week?

#

Affixes*

lusty grotto
#

hmm i think so

#

but im not 100% sure

grand veldt
#

If we do it's a lame one I think

#

Tyran afflicted something

lusty grotto
#

nah should be next in rotation

#

tyra afflicted bolstering

#

yeah you got it

grand veldt
#

Yeah lol

#

Told you I remember

#

I knew it was something terrible

lusty grotto
#

rankings stop at server reset though so

grand veldt
#

Yeah

lusty grotto
#

just a high complete is enough

grand veldt
#

Yeah probably only gonna do a couple keys

lusty grotto
#

people wont lose anything for getting 13s, we're still gonna need crests

#

and...

#

lower crests are a different cap

#

and they can be upped

#

so its not a waste of time to get lower crests at all

its tier thats missing

#

also

#

perhaps wait until the simc profiles are loaded up on their site

#

this is the simc profile

#

notice how it doesnt have this garbage

#

anyway bloodmallet 🤷

#

im guessing they put chains just to go with trinkets 1 by 1

#

as a controlled variable

#

also like i mentioned a while ago

#

bloodmallet can be misleading

#

sim baits, not toggling the right sim, not knowing their sim durations (not the same as iterations)

#

(it defaults to ST)

grand veldt

Okay I thought so

#

you lose alot of consistent dps by not playing unstoppable force

grand veldt
#

Bloodborne hasn't felt better than show of force aswell

#

Or battering ram

strong forum
#

ofc not

grand veldt
#

Just double checking

strong forum
#

bloodborne doesnt affect anything you do besides just add a tiny bit of dmg

grand veldt
#

Anything new then for us or same build minus bolstering

strong forum
#

battering ram directly affects rage generation and fluidity of rotation

grand veldt
#

For m+

#

but show of force will no longer be played at all

cause if not then those are the ones right

#

i added a bit more context to the pin

#

but besides to TL in all m+ builds

grand veldt
#

Can we get even higher up time on avatar so that show of force is irrelevant?

strong forum
#

nothing happened

strong forum
#

and less revenges

#

therefor thunderlord does gain more value and SoF loses value

#

with 10.2 tierset

grand veldt
#

How low can we get TC cd down with average haste

strong forum
#

wdym

grand veldt
#

Is it closer to one second

strong forum
#

youre gated to casting TC AT THE ABSOLUTELY VERY BEST every other global during avatar

grand veldt
#

Bc I feel like my TC is still on cd for too long but maybe it's because I'm testing in old gear

strong forum
#

you will never

lusty grotto
#

yeah it couldnt go into BFA every gcd territory

strong forum
#

never be able to cast 2 thunderclaps back to back

#

those haste levels are not obtainable

grand veldt
#

Copy

#

We just replacing revenge rage into ignore pain now then

strong forum
#

no

#

nothing changes with revenge

#

or anything

lusty grotto
#

its just that you get a tc reset with tier

strong forum
#

nothing changes next season in any way how you play prot warrior

#

you jsut have more access to thunderclap

#

but that doesnt change how you play or use your rage

grand veldt
#

Well

#

I have some secret tips I'm going to share with you guys

deep steppe
#

Minor question for 10.2 guys, would running the Allied Wristguard of Companionship be good for us? Or is is irrelevant enough that we shouldn't worry about it?

lusty grotto
#

not as good as 2x sf

grand veldt
#

I've been doing a bunch of tests on the ptr for keys this past week and found a lot of useful shit

lusty grotto
#

did you check against the reflect sheet?

#

cause it might be up there

#

and if not then sense can put it in

deep steppe
#

Thank you guys!

strong forum
#

hit me with the secret tips

grand veldt
#

The reflect sheet is missing a couple things

lusty grotto
#

cool

ripe mason
lusty grotto
#

more updates to the sheet are always better

strong forum
grand veldt
ripe mason
grand veldt
#

If you keep the mobs too close to their original pack they'll aggro

ripe mason
#

Appreciate it, though.

strong forum
#

as both of those packs will be skipped

grand veldt
#

Only if you have a priest

lusty grotto
#

i mean thats just basic AD snapping

strong forum
#

nah dont need a priest

grand veldt
#

If you don't have soothes for the guy before nox

strong forum
#

you can walk past em

#

when you CC the leftmost mob

grand veldt
#

Oh that's nifyy

#

More then I guess

lusty grotto
#

bfa tech

grand veldt
#

All the snap spots you use to use

strong forum
#

snapping is dead

lusty grotto
#

yeah you cant use most of those anymore

grand veldt
#

Can be used to protect people from jug charge

#

And the saurids

strong forum
#

yes

lusty grotto
#

yes

slim zinc
lusty grotto
#

that we know about

grand veldt
#

grand veldt
#

Everbloom

strong forum
#

due to shadowflame doing its dmg

grand veldt
#

The triple caster pack

#

If the person being targeted LOS the spell

#

The casters will not recast

#

Have the healer pull

ripe mason
#

I'm wondering, how come it's such a small damage increase? For BDK it pulls ahead fairly significantly in AoE situations.

slim zinc
#

Yeah, think VDH and Monk are the only tanks that gain ST benefit from it at like 80% uptime

strong forum
#

so the CD get incurred on cast start

grand veldt
#

Yes

strong forum
grand veldt
#

It will not recast at all

strong forum
#

xdd

lusty grotto
#

triple caster next to mage boss you mean?

grand veldt
#

Yes

#

The spells in general

strong forum
#

im talking 1% aoe gain over sof

lusty grotto
#

yeah that worked on the OG dungeon too

grand veldt
#

All work like this

#

Wcm Etch works the same way

lusty grotto
#

yup hmmNod

strong forum
#

and shield of hearth is a 2.1k dps loss for pwar

#

over shadowflame

grand veldt
#

All yhe spells if LOS, will not be recast

strong forum
#

probably due it stat allocation

#

if you have a different stat spread

slim zinc
strong forum
#

aka way less vers

#

then its probably larger

#

but because our profile has 4.3k crit 6.8k haste and 3.7k vers

slim zinc
#

Our profile is way below 3.7k yah

strong forum
#

getting crafted items that proc vers is not beneficial

#

so those items

#

are a case by case study

grizzled nova
#

Do any economy people know if they're gonna replace dracothyst or should I buy it before the price goes giga in a week?

grand veldt
#

The wasps in everbloom do not aggro by proximity

strong forum
#

people are gambling on dracothysts

#

buy low sell high

#

im not gonna bother

#

ill do it live

grand veldt
#

They work like the molten core dudes in nelth

lusty grotto
#

dracothysts are still gonna suck to get, as of right now there isnt any other way to craft them

grand veldt
#

No bloom petals, no casts

grizzled nova
#

at least in na its still 4500, where its been about a month now

strong forum
#

id argue

#

you wanna avoid the cultivator

#

and instead pull flowers

#

5 > 1

grand veldt
#

You can use this to pull them into the boss

strong forum
#

but yeah the flowers are sleeping

mortal brook
#

pull the whole area in 1 pull, silly goose

strong forum
#

so proximity aggro does not work for them

lusty grotto
#

ye

grand veldt
#

I mean you could easily pull all the flowers

#

But then with cultists up a bunch get buffed

#

All my routes are with funnel for my arcane mage in mind

#

Cultivators live for a while

#

Darkheart thicket, any flower your allies can stand on

#

Will protect them from the adds the bear spawn

#

His roar can be LOSd but it's a pain in the ass

#

The cats don't care, they will lunge to no path available spots

#

I have some tech for the first boss but I'll share it after the first week or two, I don't want it to get patched immediately

#

The bats in thicket can be synced and chain reflected

#

Their bites a melee range cast

lusty grotto
#

figures considering fenrir, AV, Nok, and BH branch/totem/fences

#

for bear adds i mean

grand veldt
#

Yeah its nice

#

Honestly the worst place sadly had been tides

strong forum
grand veldt
#

I couldn't find a single spot to protect people from fixate

lusty grotto
#

thats a super old one though Nome

#

very unlikely that gets patched lol

#

but who knows, they did patch a lot of CoS shit

grand veldt
#

Theres a couple spots you can find to protect people from the adds on this boss

#

And the charge

#

I can't give more but just be creative

#

You'll find spots you didn't think would be allowed can be reached

#

The dryads in thicket and the bloodtainted mobs should be your skips

lusty grotto
grand veldt
#

They take way too much time

lusty grotto
#

eh

#

dryads are easy to LoS and gather

#

and their disengage is controllable

#

you dont know about the big ass house pull?

grand veldt
#

I'm talking about the centur guys

mortal brook
grand veldt
#

That keep the blood petals healed

#

They're actually so obnoxious

lusty grotto
grand veldt
#

You can make a big pull and not pull those guys then invis past the double pack

lusty grotto
#

yea

#

the double keeper pack was often skipped in legion

#

so you're not wrong

grand veldt
#

Tides that center piece in the middle of ulthoks room

#

Can be used to LOS spells

lusty grotto
#

yeah that we know about

grand veldt
#

So can the tiny pieces of coral on the sides

lusty grotto
#

was used in cata as well

grand veldt
#

Even though you can jump on that thing

lusty grotto
#

heroic dungeons were fucking stupid so it helped

grand veldt
#

The dogs have infinite Z axis

#

So you can't escape them

#

You can root a dog

#

And make the size 1 or 2 less

#

Save the remaining 4 for the ulthok fight to use lust on

#

Mass root will keep them secure away

lusty grotto
#

that one i hadnt considered

#

cause those shitters just melted

#

but considering key scaling

grand veldt
#

The 6 pack aqua mage can be skipped

#

The giant swell guys cannot

lusty grotto
#

might be a good one

grand veldt
#

And be careful for the swell on spell steal

#

It ignores line of sight

#

You have to kill all the swell dudes to open ozumats gate

#

But the 6 pack can be skipped and probably should even though you can do a 6 cast reflect aqua if you leap in

#

You can also leave one of the 3man packs up

#

And use it to kill your after ulthok

#

Much faster than dealing with the electric hallway and elevator

#

You can manually jump down the elevator and leap when you land to speed it up

#

But probably not worth

lusty grotto
#

swell ignoring LoS was like that in cata too

grand veldt
#

In WCM, you can snap mobs to the little fountain in the court yard

lusty grotto
#

a lot of these are more for players that didnt play back in the day

grand veldt
#

Useful for the guy who does the aoe silence

#

Maggots

#

And the wretch

lusty grotto
#

yup same as in legion

grand veldt
#

Oh nice I didn't know people did that then

#

You can also snap some mobs by jumping on the little railing up stairs

#

But idk how useful it is

lusty grotto
#

yup

#

you snapped shadows that way

#

but i think shadows hit like trucks in this iteration

grand veldt
#

Yeah and literally everything is trying to not target tanks

#

So fucking annoying

#

We have to be vocal about people LOS at start of each pull

lusty grotto
#

by shadows i mean soul essences

#

heres a ye olde route

grand veldt
#

Yeah Ik what you meant

#

The first mobs in galakrond doti

#

They are all staggered like hideous cackle on the warscourges in BH

#

There will never be more than 1 time slice, 1 time rip, or 1 channel cast going off at once

#

It'll be 3 spells always, nothing more

lusty grotto
#

and thank fucking god for that lol

grand veldt
#

So do a massive first pull always and probably lust on it

#

Tempo slice is the dangerous ability

lusty grotto
#

this one is good to know

grand veldt
#

Template puts increased damage debuff on you and it stacks fast

#

Can be stone formed off or dispelled

#

Etc

lusty grotto
#

yeah that one i noticed running dawn

grand veldt
#

That shit hurts so bad

lusty grotto
#

but the stagger thing is very useful

grand veldt
#

Yeah I found it out on accident

#

Setting up my nameplate weak aura

#

I don't know the best things to stop in doti,but the giant dragon is a must and then skip most of the last packs I think

#

For galakrond

#

The elemental cast stone bolt but it also applies a nasty bleed

#

And it stacks

lusty grotto
#

ye olde mini boss treatment

grand veldt
#

Last boss make sure the adds are stacked and you can sync the reflect or you'll hate your life

#

Oh and the spell reflect sheet says we can't reflect the last boss in wcm

#

We actually can

#

Even if we aren't the target

lusty grotto
#

do you have a log

grand veldt
#

Its a chain effect

lusty grotto
#

if you do then pass it along

#

uh

#

that was always the case

grand veldt
#

No but the last boss you can reflect it normally, but he doesn't cast it on tank

lusty grotto
#

but it didnt target tanks

grand veldt
#

Yes

#

But you can bounce the reflect off others

#

If you get them to isolate

#

And treat it like VP BOSS

#

If they don't isolate it'll hit the whole group and it's not worth

lusty grotto
#

it says its reflectable

#

would be weird if it didnt say so

grand veldt
#

Yeah but it doesn't say you can reflect the bounce

#

Off others

lusty grotto
#

this one happened that way in BFA

#

right

grand veldt
#

Wasting strike on boss before last

#

You want to use reflect 2seconds before the cast to be able to cast reflect again the 2nd time

lusty grotto
#

ye

grand veldt
#

And it's a melee cast

#

So on the third cast

#

Leap far away to reflect it again

lusty grotto
#

yup that one we knew about too

grand veldt
#

Rip me where was all this info

lusty grotto
#

hard to compile it on just a reflect sheet

#

its just going off from memory

grand veldt
#

Ah kk

lusty grotto
#

maybe if there's a key stuff in

grand veldt
#

Oh the runeweavers

lusty grotto
#

or a key sheet

grand veldt
#

In wcm

#

You can reflect their curse

lusty grotto
#

ya

grand veldt
#

But it only targets you if you're the only target in LOS right after etch

#

I didn't see runeweaver on reflect sheet

lusty grotto
grand veldt
#

I'm griefed

lusty grotto
grand veldt
#

The mobs that fear in thicket on the sheet?

#

Idr the name

lusty grotto
#

the cyclops?

grand veldt
#

Yeah

lusty grotto
#

Nightmare Dwellers

grand veldt
#

Yeah, you can sync them with range or LOS

#

And reflect every other

lusty grotto
grand veldt
#

Just use disrupting shout

#

And they won't cast for 6 seconds

#

It'll line up the ones that are off

lusty grotto
#

id rather send a spell block and/or reflect there honestly

#

than use disrupting fuck disrupting

grand veldt
#

Does spell block work on it?

#

I didn't test that

lusty grotto
#

it should

grand veldt
#

That would be nice

lusty grotto
#

actually

#

it doesnt apparently

grand veldt
#

The reflect just negates their cast

lusty grotto
#

you mean the channel right?

grand veldt
#

Yeah

lusty grotto
#

can just play stops on that

grand veldt
#

Yeah I'm saying if your groups dog shit

#

Its a good trick to know

lusty grotto
#

true

shut summit

reflect sheet always a work in progress btw, have had tons of people message me with shit from ptr that i've added so feel free anytime

I was pugging so I guess not sure how good it would be with a group

pallid quiver
#

he didn't realize the typo he made

#

But yeah, with 20s, you do in fact need DPS to press buttons and, if not fully geared, maybe still pulling large for more DPS. I didn't try and myself, but that's how it's been most xpac

torn gulch
#

if i am not mistaken m+ on ptr does not have the K value implemented for 10.2

so what you did on ptr will not be representative for week one of the season

20's will be decently hard

and youre scaled to 440ilvl

and keys are really fucking easy on ptr rn

because of s2 values

Anyone know if the new legendary item will be bind on account so I can send to my main

strong forum
#

a PTR tyr boss on +27 has the same HP as a retail s2 boss on tyr 27 and does the same damage

#

and the k-value (which reduces effectiveness of armor and block/stagger) is also at s2 values

#

so PTR keys are literally s2 keys currently

#

except for having 10% key scaling above 20 instead of 8%

#

everything else is the same

pallid quiver
#

Deios and Morchie have me concerned atm for how they'll look

strong forum
#

which will not be the case for s3 dungeons

#

they will be 40-50% harder across the board

than they are on PTR currently

That makes sense considering they gave you 440ish gear to test them

strong forum
#

yup

#

people wouldnt do fucking 29s on PTR

with 440 ilvl

if it was full s3 keys

like a 29 on PTR will be like a ... 23?

basically the keys on PTR
