I'm not saying his accomplishment wasn't hard
The same low level flowers
How is that better than leveling slow
Idk, specless is easier
But still being able to quest
Because at least you can turn your brain off picking flowers
You can level specless with professions too
That's straight up rot
I don't think you understand just how bad a specless toon is.
You can buy power leveling
You can't level shit with professions
Why not
Do you know how much XP you can gain from professions now lol
I dotn think you understand how bad spending thousands of hours just picking flowers is
I just calculated it
Like I said, I'm not saying his accomplishment isn't hard
I'm saying specless is also hard
I leveled 60-66 picking flowers the other night
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
You can keep picking flowers
So 169100 flowers
I did 60-66
Which is about ~42% of a level at 69
100 flowers alone will make me wanna tear my eyes out
I'm talking about first crafts, not herb/mining
Cuz it's so much brain rot
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
What happened to that
3 of the people were lazy fucks
Realistically, it would've been awful
But it kinda fell flat
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
wat ur guys favorite healer to play
Haven't really played many. I enjoyed resto shaman in Shadowlands
Rdruid is pretty cool
Mistweaver is too busy
resto shaman still my fav personally
i have never
ever
played shaman
that is the one class i have never touched
ever
since vanilla
I like Shamans, Pres Voker, and HPAL
I miss vesper totem 😢
Priests eat way too much dirt, druids are always oom, and MW I dont see enough
wow really? shaman most fun class beside warrior for me
fair enough
so i never leveled one
Shamans are cool
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
underrepresented class.... but their skill animations are really cool
and they get sneaky good TMOG
i dont hate them
my friend plays rsham
and i love windfury of course
im just not interested in playing them 🙂
just wish ele shaman had something cool like windfury they can bring
fair
most people arent; I wouldnt play one myself.... but they still got a lot of cool stuff
except a raid buff

yeah i wish they would get some love ngl
its kinda messed up enh has had windfury totem for so long and ele has had nothing equivalent..
They had skyfury totem at one point I thought
Ele should have a choice between wf and skyfury totem
for years now they have had nothing
And maybe some kind of shoehorned in raid buff like monks get with their healing taken/avoidance
Man now what do I do
I know
Next week I do a key on every one of them

Just for the lulz
How do you sim as tank? 😮
Ah. Easy enough then.
You can't sim survivability
Because it's a lot more variable than damage
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
is there any method to sim survivability knowing it is extremely variable
apb because in the EJ days, only EHP and shit like that was "simmed"
what is ej
oh right
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.
also
Damage = Defensiveness
or at least most damage contributes to it
and/or proper play which is what our APL uses
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.
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
But if you think about it like this. For damage, the only real variable is uptime
right
am i going to see you on november 30th @lusty grotto
a lot of survivability sims were just EHP baloons

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.
im def not gonna say no to season of discovery
It would be a headache, to oversimplify it lol
Yeah it has piqued my interested a lot
I don't get it, is the zackrawr guy paying for a party so hey gets KSH?
floorki, must be dorki 🤣
yesterday they did some keys together as well
he has a strong party helping him get KSM
but ya def not as a main game, more like 2-3 hours fucking around a week or so @lusty grotto
yeah
wait why is my writing red
discord saw we were talking about cringe game and shut down
he actually tanked 2 24's yesterday i was suprised
and he's tanking a 22 now interesting
for solo content we have some talen builds or i jsut use multi target dungeon dps on?
hard to say
in this disc we dont focus on that
i suppose they work
idk what youre trying to solo though
leveling?
The max DPS build works great for soloing
Do we still get banner in SL raids?
yeah
Or any of the SL covenant abilities?
That’s cash money

Is banner back yet
yea and make ravager proc on every 4th outburst (:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hMqvb8QiUk&list=TLPQMDYxMTIwMjOVUrxSpOdpjg&index=2 bring back this execute



Discord went completely down
dang
I agree, bring back AA

wse already have auto attack, always did

Guys have they said anything about archaeology next xpac
Since we going underground yknow
rework it to modern talents

You need maxed archeology skill to enter next xpac
AA was da bomb
I would do Archeology if I could get a Indiana Jones TMOG
Have 950 arch on like 5 chars
who the fuck says, im gunna go lvl 950 points in arch today
The stupid fucking bug mount was pain to get
i got the bug mount
I got mine suuuuper late
thats only thing i truly wanted
Archeology would be cool if you could get cool TMOG or like alt starter level gear
they should remove the archeology racial from dwarves and make it into the profession talents
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
Do you use any specific weakauras to remind you to use shield block? Or does it become second nature at one point?
Audio cues?
Can't you just spam SB
you can make one easily if thats what you want
And it magically stays up
no
Rip
stop giving bad advice yuzu
Thanks anyway.........
its suboptimal if its played like that
Okay, what's the uptime on SB
If you send it nonstop
While I'm combat 😳
What's the optimal way to use shieldblock, and why

replace with a sound you have
thats one i did for a friend
it goes up when SB has 5s left or is missing
if you dont know how to replace the sound let me know i can run you through it
have fun reading through Jakey's
So RN it doesn't matter, but building bad habits now will fuck me when they nerf uptime
Got it
SL uptime
im just so confused

Do you guys play alts for raid and swap based on boss or just main war?
the one expansion where SB uptime was ass until later
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
You would definitely not play a completely separate toon
Well as tank it makes sense for them to want an alt if one is very strong on a specific fight
Off-spec maybe but not a different toon??? that's so weird
But that’s like top 500 mental (or 200 even honestly*)
If we were pushing for rank sure
If you’re in a casual CE guild you do not need to have an alt tank imo
It’s a CE guild but not like hardcore push for rank
But I’m not the guild owner of your guild
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
It’s common for the tank roll to fill buffs or utility required
But again that’s like not a casual CE thing imo
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
its more common than you think
Yeah that’s Ree
But on the plus side
I would swap guild before class if it wasn’t something I wanted
I had chickie nuggies
Just my 2cents

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
2 years is a long time, I don't remember fuck all
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
You can help me gear all my alts if you want

lol you can dps in my keys
Imagine trying to figure out which toon to play 
this is my biggest thing
play your mage. WHICH ONE?!
yeah its shit behavior on their part
i dont agree with it at all
but its very common
@modern gazelle look at sense, iirc him and his wife do war/bear always
No need to have an alt
Thanks a bunch!
yeah
Yeah I so happen to catch some chat about that like a month ago
yeah thats one of the things i mentioned actually haha
Honestly jelous
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+
Not always
you need some variety in raid but the 2 tank spots arent gonna make or break any fight imo
we don't talk about that
first rule of skyhold is we don't talk about the time Sense betrayed us
That was MDI anyway
I am cracking up seeing all the tweets and reddit posts about people putting the foam sword rack blocking doorways 

Time to drop dorki from my follow for that
I hate that guy and the simps that give him shit instead of earning it
thats just spite
who cares
its good for dorki
he gets to lure viewers to his channel
why do you hate asmon
there is nothing to hate, he only promotes the community which pays for new xpacs and regular balancing
idk, every streamer has simps, its not just asmon so its weird to single him out on that point alone
you would be an idiot to deny getting some of asmon's clout
like i dont watch him
esp as a streamer
but i dont have a problem with him
Asmon playing the game is indicative about a lot
Means casuals finding retail fun again, it's a good sign, and should be encouraged
so whats the deal with keystone levels between seasons
what level should you do next week
to get a "high" key for s3
rankings stop at server reset though so
Yeah
just a high complete is enough
Yeah probably only gonna do a couple keys
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
what are you REALLY mad about buddy ?
:think: why it missing gear slots ?
From the pin what's the 14% DR up 80% from? I haven't been following changes granted I'm probably stuck in monk jail
new tier set
this is a bloodmallet sim, you should ask them
if i had to guess, id say its probably due to the ilvl jump
but 🤷
you got their # ?
(281) 330-8004
I'm gonna call this right now
better not be a hooker service b/c I'm already in trouble for that
aight say hi to Mike Jones for me
I'd guess it just doesnt have icons for the new 10.2 items
could be b/c the fury one has pants on
oh
you meant the icons
what the fuck does the stat picture have to do with anything lmao
I really dont' know, new to planning ahead of a patch and the shenanigans like sims still being refined
ehh
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)
anyway here's a handy mini guide to simming in raidbots: #protection message
also for gear "prep" i invite you to look at this #268491842637660160 message
dang ok, now things make more sense
thanks a bunch nimchip

cuz most of the items used dont exist on normal wowhead yet
theyre still on PTR wowhead
would be my guess
they dont physically exist on the current live wowhead database
(i feel so fucking smart for coming up with that xd)
What's the sim looking like for the new set
159.3
Does thunderlord come out on top
I've had a lot of mixed results for talents
in raid,no
Like I can't tell if the 30s cdr is better or the bonus to thunderclap in avatar
oh
I'm getting very close dps on dummies
yeah you dont wanna play uproar in m+
Okay I thought so
you lose alot of consistent dps by not playing unstoppable force
ofc not
Just double checking
bloodborne doesnt affect anything you do besides just add a tiny bit of dmg
Anything new then for us or same build minus bolstering
battering ram directly affects rage generation and fluidity of rotation
For m+
but show of force will no longer be played at all
hmm has anything changed from the preliminary builds?
nop
cause if not then those are the ones right
Can we get even higher up time on avatar so that show of force is irrelevant?
nothing happened
no you get more thunderclaps
and less revenges
therefor thunderlord does gain more value and SoF loses value
with 10.2 tierset
How low can we get TC cd down with average haste
wdym
Is it closer to one second
youre gated to casting TC AT THE ABSOLUTELY VERY BEST every other global during avatar
Bc I feel like my TC is still on cd for too long but maybe it's because I'm testing in old gear
you will never
yeah it couldnt go into BFA every gcd territory
never be able to cast 2 thunderclaps back to back
those haste levels are not obtainable
its just that you get a tc reset with tier
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
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?
not as good as 2x sf
I've been doing a bunch of tests on the ptr for keys this past week and found a lot of useful shit
did you check against the reflect sheet?
cause it might be up there
and if not then sense can put it in
full send 2x SF
Thank you guys!
hit me with the secret tips
The reflect sheet is missing a couple things
cool
Does that reflect for AoE as well, or is it similar to BDK with Sporecloak and Allied Wrist?
more updates to the sheet are always better
sporecloak is roughly a 1% gain in aoe assuming 90% uptime and assuming perfect play, so for almost everybody it is not going to be worth it
So first off here's a trick you guys can do to pull some easy mobs down for Rezan
https://clips.twitch.tv/RoughChillyClamBlargNaut-YO8OvB1gJ4V1HrIa
It only works with invis, the true sight mobs will not link or social aggro as long as you bring them away or snap them down
Really? That's surprising to me.
If you keep the mobs too close to their original pack they'll aggro
Appreciate it, though.
while that is interesting, its not really useful
as both of those packs will be skipped
Only if you have a priest
i mean thats just basic AD snapping
nah dont need a priest
If you don't have soothes for the guy before nox
bfa tech
All the snap spots you use to use
snapping is dead
yeah you cant use most of those anymore
yes
yes
Actually with how it works uptime will be higher than people expect
that we know about
Copy
well sure, but even with 100% uptime, its not going to be all that worth it for majority of players
Everbloom
due to shadowflame doing its dmg
The triple caster pack
If the person being targeted LOS the spell
The casters will not recast
Have the healer pull
I'm wondering, how come it's such a small damage increase? For BDK it pulls ahead fairly significantly in AoE situations.
Yeah, think VDH and Monk are the only tanks that gain ST benefit from it at like 80% uptime
so the CD get incurred on cast start
Yes
ST its a 1k dps loss for us at 90% uptime
It will not recast at all
xdd
triple caster next to mage boss you mean?
im talking 1% aoe gain over sof
yeah that worked on the OG dungeon too
yup 
All yhe spells if LOS, will not be recast
it's like 3-4% AoE gain for us in larger AoE 😄
aka way less vers
then its probably larger
but because our profile has 4.3k crit 6.8k haste and 3.7k vers
Our profile is way below 3.7k yah
getting crafted items that proc vers is not beneficial
so those items
are a case by case study
Do any economy people know if they're gonna replace dracothyst or should I buy it before the price goes giga in a week?
The wasps in everbloom do not aggro by proximity
people are gambling on dracothysts
buy low sell high
im not gonna bother
ill do it live
And you can sleep walk all the cultivators for free percent https://clips.twitch.tv/ComfortableSilkyOcelotRitzMitz-_0b0HP2mymsT1Qr4
They work like the molten core dudes in nelth
dracothysts are still gonna suck to get, as of right now there isnt any other way to craft them
No bloom petals, no casts
at least in na its still 4500, where its been about a month now
You can use this to pull them into the boss
but yeah the flowers are sleeping
pull the whole area in 1 pull, silly goose
so proximity aggro does not work for them
ye
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
figures considering fenrir, AV, Nok, and BH branch/totem/fences
for bear adds i mean
bait the primal charge to stones and it stops the charge, or hug the arena wall of it
I couldn't find a single spot to protect people from fixate
thats a super old one though Nome
very unlikely that gets patched lol
but who knows, they did patch a lot of CoS shit
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
steve i almost didnt recognize your name
They take way too much time
eh
dryads are easy to LoS and gather
and their disengage is controllable
you dont know about the big ass house pull?
I'm talking about the centur guys
hiii nimchip o/

You can make a big pull and not pull those guys then invis past the double pack
yeah that we know about
So can the tiny pieces of coral on the sides
was used in cata as well
Even though you can jump on that thing
heroic dungeons were fucking stupid so it helped
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
that one i hadnt considered
cause those shitters just melted
but considering key scaling
might be a good one
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
swell ignoring LoS was like that in cata too
In WCM, you can snap mobs to the little fountain in the court yard
a lot of these are more for players that didnt play back in the day
yup same as in legion
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
yup
you snapped shadows that way
but i think shadows hit like trucks in this iteration
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
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
and thank fucking god for that lol
So do a massive first pull always and probably lust on it
Tempo slice is the dangerous ability
this one is good to know
Template puts increased damage debuff on you and it stacks fast
Can be stone formed off or dispelled
Etc
yeah that one i noticed running dawn
That shit hurts so bad
but the stagger thing is very useful
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
ye olde mini boss treatment
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
do you have a log
Its a chain effect
No but the last boss you can reflect it normally, but he doesn't cast it on tank
but it didnt target tanks
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
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
ye
yup that one we knew about too
Rip me where was all this info
Ah kk
maybe if there's a key stuff in
Oh the runeweavers
or a key sheet
ya
But it only targets you if you're the only target in LOS right after etch
I didn't see runeweaver on reflect sheet
I'm griefed

the cyclops?
Yeah
Nightmare Dwellers

Just use disrupting shout
And they won't cast for 6 seconds
It'll line up the ones that are off
id rather send a spell block and/or reflect there honestly
than use disrupting fuck disrupting
it should
That would be nice
The reflect just negates their cast
you mean the channel right?
Yeah
can just play stops on that
true
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
❤️
🐐

Much appreciated sir!

we don't get an advantage by running a key right now for reset tomorrow do we?
s3 doesnt start after reset
s3 starts 14th/15th
all of next week is still s2 only with 10.2 patch
aka 1hr of story and then log off for the week until the actual season starts
ok so not anything to worry about right now
friend asked me to help with heroic sark kill for his uber low alt and got the 99 parse finally feelsgood
Yeah if you don’t do a +30 tonight your entire next season is over
Might as well quit now
even next week
no point worrying
youll need to do lower keys anyway
and unless you can squeeze in a +29/30 next week
no real point worrying anyway
Undulating Sporecloak shield and healing reduced by 79% (was 50%), Versatility reduced by 75% while above 70% health, and healing over time effect reduced by 80%
LOOOO
rip sporecloak
So we use sporecloak now? :L
It's only ehat, a minor nerf?
No no they kneecapped sporecloak
ultra useless
It’s trash now
its literally garbage tier now
wym 75 is a small number
Listen I'm tryng to play the role of average wow player
I have to not understand numbers
instead of 490 vers it now grants like... 120
This is my coping mechanism after seeing shit in pug raids
and especially work
They took personal offense to me asking about it earlier.
nevermind apparently linguine still stacks but walking into a new pool doesn't cause an insta tick - they all tick together at same time
ye but 60k is bigger than 100k, because like 6 is bigger than 1 tho
you should shoot me for my own benefit tbh
i mean im happy its nuked
was gonna say rip everyone who crafted in the last few weeks lmao
Tbh I knew it was going to get a nerf before the season was over
Never expected them to nuke it from orbit before it even went live
I crafted it but I had loads of resources to waist so no big loss for me
On a serios note, the only reason I'm glad it's nerfed to the ground is now no one will ask if they should use it here
People don't read. Of course they will.
well better this than later, the real tragedy would've been using a s3 spark on it then it getting btfo'd
at least youre only out some gold
god damn haha, is there a blue post on this? I am at work and all the wow related sites are blocked :C
appreciate you ty
See, people do read.
They just lack reading comprehension and numerical literacy to understand what they read
I'll rip you straight from a blue post @strong forum
that'd where my shit oosting comes from of where a guy pulling like 50k said he did more than me pulling 100k
Because you're supposed to add the numbers to get to get the damage
That's what the k means
So basically in order to get a 15 on s3 from vault, I'd have to time a +26 right?
i'm just gonna start from scratch tbh
GG to me, I started playing recently no way I am getting a +26 from pugging
I cannot be arsed to try and power keys in a week
Do the small birds in Neltharus cause bursting stacks?
I doubt it'll be hard to push a key to 15 in the first week, just inconvenient.
If you're pugging, it'll either be easy or hard as fuck
no in between
Luckily, most times it'll be the easy end
I have been doing +20s with fort/tyr affixes in PTR, they seemed hard, I had 563+ gear on
Thought we wanted 19?
If you had 563s on and were struggling, I think that's a you issue
But I mean
Not really struggling to survive, as in the whole group
to time them
I was pugging so I guess not sure how good it would be with a group
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
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
PTR keys are at s2 values
and youre scaled to 440ilvl
and keys are really fucking easy on ptr rn
because of s2 values
i literally solod a +20 DHT
he didn't solo doti tho unless he tried again
some keys you just couldnt solo
Ye
and by some i mean most
Mechs powerful
Simply mind control the tank
keys are gonna so funny
cuz PTR doesnt have s3 values or k-value
so all the people who pushed 29s on PTR
are gonna have an interesting awakening
I can't eait for third boss doti lower
That's going to be interesting with people used to steamrolling
cant even get my team killed to solo it because mech powerful, demands two people
Blight, the MC boss
that one is so easy tho?
Where you need to oass the corruption around
Base instinct on people is pass to tank the run away
I'd be so dead as DK half the time
thank everything i play
Ooh, did they?
you had some nasty overlaps
now you dont
they also made it tick less
lower should be pretty chill now
boring but chill
aside from maybe the infinite fury mobs
I thought it was only rough on P3 at all, tbh
I assume Deios has been adjusted to not just instantly flatten tanks
Ye, that
still too much
can you clarify what this means? are they changing the rate at which hp/dmg scale with key level?
tickrate is too quickly
Hr also, notably, won't have his adds kurder DPS with that dot as hard
Anyone know if the new legendary item will be bind on account so I can send to my main
currently all PTR keys, are the exact same numbers as s2 key
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
Deios and Morchie have me concerned atm for how they'll look
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
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?
so they wont be that easy until we get the new equivalent of 440 next patch
on live
is what you mean
yes
gotcha
Doesn’t it make more sense to actually put the correct k values on ptr and then test on ptr with updated k values
yes
its the first time
they've ever done this
every prior m+ testing ever on PTR was with correct values
Yikes
this is the first time they didnt
😳
and m+ tuning is usually so good on day 1 xD
im 50% expecting them to forget
At least blizzard has a strong record of dungeon balance especially at start of season
Lol
Yeah true. Season 2 actually was decent as far as I know
s3 start is looking like a massive dice roll
im halfway betting on them to not actually apply the s3 values
and people are gonna steamroll keys for like a day
They're done with DF, didn't you hear, got 3 expansions on the plate
You think they did this change on purpose or maybe they didn’t have time to do the values ahead of time or something
No more balance
Yeah true lol
Df is old news and I’m ok with it to be honest
They get Jimmy the intern to enter them in a panic while everyone is on vacation for Thanksgiving already and he misses a decimal so we're getting 1shot in +2s
not implementing k values will be so funny
but i don't believe they will mess up that hard
and was like "thats not good"
What, k values or 3 expansions
kvalues
I can imagine his thoughts (wtf are k values)
nah
went silent like the WoW room when they quietly dropped that this is the last new raid of the expac and the next expac isnt until fall 2024...
where did you got this info? who told him?
Or (oh those are a thing)
eh, most of us knew 10.2 was gonna be the last raid this xpac since august
it was basically confirmed when they dropped the 10.2 teaser
Or (bwahaha, they're in for a surprise)
and vyranoth went all friendly
lotta m+ players actually dont think so
it was suspected but confirmed at the opening ceremony, more concerning is the year long gap
At least we'll have a greatest hits
wanna bet the next 3 xpacs is x.0-x.1-x.2 then next xpac for an xpact approx every 18 months?
Also .2.5 and.2.7 are real
the cycle goes like this
Xpac releases
1 year later next xpac gets announced for the year after
Have a feeling we getting the war within in July 2024
its always a 2 year cycle of xpacs
already announced fall 2024
As long as we don't have a pandemic in the middle
yes
yes
10.2.5 january-10.2.7 march-fated may-prepatch mid september xpac beginning of november
fated for about 4 months
yeah thats about what my tweet says aswell
10.2.5 in winter 2023
10.2.7 spring 2024
Its a real problem, idk what will have to be interrupted vs can be let go off yet bc of this
it doesnt matter, your gear was 440
if it was s3 values
