You think? In the raid I suppose there was no big weak spots compared to VOTI, but in M+ I felt worse off although I was less tryhard in s2

warm plinth
pallid quiver
#

what was the problem

jagged pier
#

and we were just as strong if not strong in m+

blazing condor
jagged pier
#

because we did more damage thanks to teir set

round pendant
#

That's weird cause I felt the opposite

#

Raid was super easy for me and only struggled on sark because of randoms

warm plinth
# pallid quiver what was the problem

Well, he questioned if I was overpulling at the beginning of an 18 freehold because a bonesaw ran away and pulled the patrol+double enforcer by the first boss

round pendant
#

tho I don't do mythic raiding so ig my view on raid doesn't count

#

m+ felt hard for me this season

warm plinth
#

Then every time I pulled more than 1 pack he whined that it was bursting and "we don't have a priest" (this was a mistweaver btw)

#

So from right before 2nd boss onward, I only pulled 1 pack a time

#

And then I pulled 2 mobs in between lightning and ludwig and they were like "we're good on %" (I just pulled it because I was bored)

round pendant
#

overpulling in freehold

#

is that even possible

warm plinth
#

And then he tells me to not overpull on last island, and I was still being petty and just pulled the first 2 mobs

round pendant
#

lmao

warm plinth
#

And someone else pulled the pack on the side

pallid quiver
#

"pulled it because I was bored"

understandable, have a nice day

warm plinth
#

Like I've never had someone get mad at me for pulling multiple packs at once in freehold before

#

But like I said, I'm washed up

jagged pier
warm plinth
#

I hope I get better next season

jagged pier
#

compared to S1

#

and the dungeons with bad magic damage

#

that was blockable

#

everytime

#

or avoidable

round pendant
#

Probably a me problem ye

#

still felt harder than s1 overall, but I didn't enjoy the dungeons or raid anywhere near as much so that's probably the main factor

#

less motivation to be good

it's not bad

#

I think it usually sims worse than either crit or haste runes, but it's usually cheaper and stacks higher due to being a whetstone

just looked on icy veins what they said

@ionic fern if u got all awnsers riiight, why does wowhead say haste vers and here we pew pew for haste critt 😛 ?

ionic fern
#

Because as you said - pew/pew.

#

I can't speak for the reasoning of the guide writer for WoWHead.
In my mind it's iLvl->Haste->Vers=Crit->mastery

#

You can't go wrong with either vers/crit.

sand drum
#

oki just wondering :> thx for your time 😄

pallid quiver
#

crit stat funnier

#

big number

blazing condor
#

i feel like in here its kinda more min/max whereas wowhead is more "how to be a good tank warrior for the average player"

jagged pier
#

guides are for starting players

#

we've never said any different

sand drum
#

makes sense I guess

blazing condor
#

Nah the guides are the same ur right

dull sleet
#

So people just Sim for dmg instead of stacking Vers for a little bit of overall dmg taken

#

That's the same reason as for why prot warriors often take dmg trinkets instead of defensive ones, unless you're really pushing high keys

median tulip
#

99% of the time, the question is completely moot anyway; wear your Tier, and your highest ilvl pieces. You probably don't have very much room for tweaking your stats until late in the season, at which point it's moot because most people aren't pushing stupid high keys and can overpower +20s on sheer damage anyway

#

The idea of this stat being better than the other stat is all very well, but more stats is always better

#

Quantity has a quality all of its very own, and all that

blazing condor
#

Ppl just overvalue vers in general

#

If you get 20% vers thats only a 10% dr which never tends to be the difference between life and death

median tulip
#

Vers is ok. Not bad, not great. I chug me a Vers flask on the regular.

blazing condor
#

Not many instances where you die and say ”if only that didnt do 10% extra dmg”

median tulip

#

Depends on the key lvl again i guess. In a 20 Dstance will save you in a 24 it wont and you pop a CD or die

plush tendon
#

I think people are forgetting that crit gives parry

#

all stats good defensivley.... I just sim for damage; better then trying to max 'defensiveness' since all stats give some sort of defense bonus

#

unless you really need to stat for EHP (which I dont think we are anywhere close to be needing to worry about)

a question since ive not played warr before SL, would we just want banner back or some other fun abilies from before?

#

or we would "only" want banner back

jagged pier
#

bring back mop banners

strong forum
#

Banner is a step in the right direction, but it was fun because it was hard to keep up

#

If we just got it back it would be easy

#

And thus not fun

#

To keep up Banner it required you to use outbursts optimal and use reprisal very well

#
  • obv play your class well
lusty tiger
#

So you’re saying banner unity talent should give a buffed rage on charge since we don’t have intervene

lusty grotto
#

we have intervene though

because today the base ilvl shouldn't need enchanted aspects

Wait they’re making base crafts 447 now?

grizzled nova
#

so after the patch we don't need dracothysts to craft 447 gear?

lusty grotto
#

im not 100% but we shouldn't, base ilvl was 424 when 10.1 hit

grizzled nova

then I wasted like 10 dracothysts on alts in the last 2 weeks lmao

Makes sense they did that at season 2 start with the 418s or w/e

You seem to generally have the right idea, you wasted a bit of rage but can tighten that up with practice. You should be running bolster so long as you have this tier set though

sick sentinel
#

Someone explain the spec like I'm 5.

Shield Block at all time maintain IP
Stonks?

blazing condor
#

shield block at all time where you take blockable damage

#

IP is used to dump rage and will therefore be maintained

sick sentinel
#

What about Revenge?

blazing condor
#

also to dump rage

#

when you dont have shield slam or TC up

sick sentinel
#

So Block if blockable, IP then Revenge

lusty grotto
#

block always

#

because it buffs your SS

#

IP to dump rage

#

revenge to get SS proc if youve been unlucky

#

therefore revenge shouldn't be used that much in your breakdown

#

because SS procs happen often due to devastator and tc

sick sentinel
#

So you Revenge if you can't do fuckall

lusty grotto
#

correct

slow pawn
#

try to maintain block and ip to max then revenge if nothing else happening

lusty grotto

no

you dont "maintain" ip

youll need length of haft + weight of axe head = force required to actually lift it

and you also arent wrong either, it doesnt really have to make sense in a magical world

it started in shadowlands this placement

but just look

that axe head is almost as big as the character

I dont deny that yea

not affected by versa (might not work that way)

acoustic belfry
#

Since everyone's waiting for patch, i figured i'd ask a question i've been wondering about for a while.
How different should stats be between m+ and raiding? I see people gearing crit/haste, but not sure for what game mode it is.

lusty grotto
#

not different at all

torn gulch
#

for both

#

crit/haste

acoustic belfry
#

Ahhh okay, thanks!

silent vessel
#

personally i went full crit/haste once we went back to just farming 17s weekly

acoustic belfry
#

I usually play fury. Will likely be doing some prot w/ guild for first couple of weeks so i wanted to be sure

#

So defensive stats aren't a huge deal?

#

Like vers

lusty grotto
#

all stats are defensive

torn gulch
#

vers is effective only if you have a lot

sick sentinel
#

@warm plinth

torn gulch
#

like 50%+

Just get haste, 1k mastery which tier will cover, then sim crit and vers pieces whenever you get them

Ye mastery is pretty good. Im using a mastery crit ring for max dps lol

Simmed higher than haste

Now the real question tho. Whats a pin

And why do we exist

blazing condor
#

Whats the deal with pins

lusty grotto
#

its a construct

#

the pins insist on themselves

blazing condor
#

Like yeah let me just push this big red spike into something i like

#

The pins are johnny silverhand?

lusty tiger
#

why is there an elf pin bowling game w a story

sick sentinel
#

this was before they invented wow

#

lusty tiger
#

this is the game you play after youve smoked too much weed and you don;t know what to do

sick sentinel
#

its a party game for drunk guests

timber nest
#

Cloak/bracers still going to be the best bet for prog?

lusty tiger
#

they just giga nerfed cloak

timber nest
#

Noooo 😦

sick sentinel
#

yeah trust me tho if u need a banger game for drunken christmas party

#

this is it

timber nest
#

@lusty tiger where’s the patch notes for that?

lusty tiger
#

u know what a christmas party needs

#

Glühwein

toxic pewter
lusty grotto
#

even before the nerf they never were

#

well, if you meant sporecloak and allied bracers that is

#

because cloak and bracers with shadowflame ARE the best for everything, just not the other 2

going back to where to hold weapons, yeah,

Dam some REALLY spicy Indian food every once in a while really hits the spot

lusty tiger

#

food from Iran, they are in the middle east yeah, but the cuisine is different than Mediterranean food but there are some similarities i guess

lusty grotto
#

before you ask questions

#

check the pins

#

i could see it coming from a mile away lol

opaque quest
#

How far is the sun away

#

Not in the pins or faq

toxic pewter

takes like 8 minutes for light to reach earth iirc

opaque quest

let me check

#

there you go

sick sentinel
#

something something flat earth

#

i got you now

lusty grotto
lusty tiger
#

If it’s flat, it’s a little further right?

#

Like which point on the sphere is the flatness tangent to?

opaque quest
#

Depends on where you are ig

#

If one of the pizza sides is closest to the sun then youre closer than a globe

#

If youre on that pizza crust keks

dusky canopy
#

The earth is flat

uneven mason
toxic pewter
#

even if u launched a flat earther into space, they will just say the sphere they see is an optical illusion or come up with a further conspiracy theory

#

I unironically know a flat earther on another discord I co created

uneven mason
#

(there's 4)

toxic pewter
#

yeah, I watched Interstellar, I know

grizzled nova
#

in my experience, anyway

toxic pewter
#

yah sounds about right

dusky canopy
#

Ok so I’m supposed to grind renown 10 on an alt before doing the content on my main so that way I can hit renown 20 week 1?

#

Kinda ass design tbh

toxic pewter
#

Yeah I decided I just dont care enough to do that. I was considering it but now I am just like screw that

uneven mason
dusky canopy
#

Renown 10 in a few hours supposedly

#

I haven’t done any ptr

toxic pewter
#

hmmm

dusky canopy
#

All quests/world quests/events must get you close but I dunno

#

I’ll have to watch content on it in a bit to learn the way

uneven mason
#

Wait so, you grind on alt, then main gets big boost?

dusky canopy
#

Might not be worth the trouble

#

Yeah 100% rep gain for alts up until renown 10

uneven mason
#

Oh right

toxic pewter
#

I guess it could be worth it

dusky canopy
#

So if you do it backwards and do the alt first

#

You can get your main higher week 1

#

Pretty cringe honestly

#

But like what else do you do this week

opaque quest
#

Just like Destiny2 lmao. Play your main char last cause higher weapons

#

fkn sucks

lusty grotto
#

eh fuck that

#

for 40 stats

opaque quest
#

ye idc

dusky canopy
#

86 stats iirc

opaque quest
#

Ill go DK this season and nothing else. If i wasnt gonna be left in the dirt by randos i wouldnt play this season at all

uneven mason
torn gulch
#

for a mythic progression guild everyone having the rune either temporary or permanent is 10-12% total extra damage

#

approx

#

it is worth for them or for big m+ pushers

toxic pewter
#

100k tho

#

I guess will use in season 4 also I suppose

#

will last a bit

torn gulch
#

a week of WQ kekw

#

100k

toxic pewter
#

ya it not awful I guess

uneven mason
#

100k is legit worth

opaque quest
#

100k is around 5 bucks

#

On G2G less

toxic pewter
#

how much is a rune anyway

#

right now

torn gulch
#

over 1k right?

#

each

toxic pewter
#

ok

#

guess I will die 100 times and make it worth it

#

lol jk

uneven mason
#

Like, until it was announced I was getting 1900

opaque quest
#

I havent used a rune since Legion

uneven mason
#

Dropped fast after they called the perma one

opaque quest
#

When my logs drop below 95 ill think about it

#

I dont even use pots

#

To expensive

But I'm casual andy

toxic pewter

do they stack lol

uneven mason
opaque quest
#

^ this

#

lmao

toxic pewter
#

ahh lol

opaque quest
#

Also not using a pot and beating your friend on the same class using one gives confidence boost

uneven mason
#

"missing rune buff: Ikarikaz" get fucked

opaque quest
#

In pugs its fine. Cause 50 names will light up anyways keks

uneven mason
#

Literally didn't have a food embellishment until like a month ago

#

Waited for one to drop

#

But yeah for mythic proggers the 100k will be worthwhile

opaque quest
#

I got lucky and my roommate dropped one early in season 1. Since hes an AH flip type of guy i got it for free

#

My DK has none and ill main her again this season tho so prolly have to pay 80k for piece of mind

grizzled nova
#

I do 6 characters a week on the feast, got two on the same day like 3 weeks into the expansion, haven't gotten one since.

uneven mason
#

Since without the wisdom of WA to hold their hands I expect this rwf to last past the first reset

opaque quest
#

Only 9 bosses. No chance we go more than 7 days

uneven mason
grizzled nova

And it's his first last boss, and it's the last boss of the expansion, he prob swings for the fence.

mild sorrel
#

Apparently we’re just “B’ tier according YouTube tier lists.

mild sorrel
#

Ahh yes

#

Kinda glad. Maybe well be a sleeper spec

uneven mason
#

Not sleeper

#

We're in that sweet spot of being really good, but not blatantly op enough that we've got a nerf target on our ass

mild sorrel
#

That’s true

uneven mason
#

Well endup as top tank after the others get beat down

shut summit
grizzled nova
#

probably only vdh on the block, soul dr talent going a little hard with their tier

uneven mason
#

They're coming fresh out of the rework

uneven mason
grizzled nova
#

illuminated is probably going a little hard aswell but I dunno what a nerf for that looks like

uneven mason
#

We need a "sandbag" emoji

#

Because that's obviously what we're doing when we say prot is good

grizzled nova
#

but all in all tanks seem ish okay

uneven mason
#

Because we're all close, meta is going to be defined by what buff benefits the DPS meta

grizzled nova
#

I've been main ppala/alt pwar all expansion, but I'm probably swapping that this season because I'm giga not looking forward to playing ppala tier in m+

uneven mason
#

Chances that they'll fix the bear FR Nerf/bug

grizzled nova
uneven mason
#

Guessing it went live with fr ticking for peanuts

uneven mason
teal swift
grizzled nova
#

is it still on gcd as well?

uneven mason
#

At least they didn't go directly after atwf

#

Yeah fr will always be on gcd

grizzled nova
#

I'm a gcd complainer for all the stupid stuff on the gcd that shouldn't be.

uneven mason
#

They have an off gcd heal

#

It's just a ridiculous long CD

grizzled nova
#

I haven't really been keeping up with bear on ptr, are they okay after the blood frenzy buff or still looking rough?

lusty grotto
#

they dont have tier

#

so they are nerfed

#

nothing changed except that

grizzled nova
#

I guess as a comparative exercise, nerfed from s2 I'm fine with they needed to be knocked back to reality

lusty grotto
#

20% less raze damage, no more increasing health with ironfur or raze

#

the tier was a big deal

strong forum
#

Bear has 100% uptime on 25% DR in 10.2, but they no longer scale infinitely into aoe and they lose a decent chunk of dmg

#

So with this, bear is clearly utterly swamp ass

#

Cuz clearly they're unplayable with only normal levels of rage gen

#

If anybody didn't catch on, this is all sarcasm

lusty grotto
#

we caught it

blazing condor
#

i didnt

strong forum
#

Yeah some people might

vivid orchid
#

how dare you

strong forum
#

Cuz clearly

grizzled nova
#

blood frenzy lived 2 years longer than it should've, every time we ended up with infinirage bear metas it was fucken pain

strong forum
#

Streamers think bear is dogshit

#

When it absolutely isnt

blazing condor
#

its unbearable

warm plinth
#

Streamers with shitty takes. What a surprise.

jagged gust
#

100% uptime on 25% DR and then like 4 other DR abilities, and then incarn just kind of infinity heals you for 30 seconds

strong forum
#

Nahnah, swampass

#

That's the takeaway

jagged gust
#

Sounds like S2 prot war

strong forum
#

No facts only feels

toxic pewter
#

so i keep seeing 20% less damage to raze.. how much of their damage is raze

grizzled nova
#

I mean I get that they're mad it's gone - it enabled this style of constant chain pulling for more targets so your tank inexplicably lives harder and if your job is playing m+ 7 days a week that's cool.

strong forum
#

20%

warm plinth
#

A lot

grizzled nova
#

But for everyone else it's fucken pain.

toxic pewter
#

20% of 20% of their damage isnt really huge..

strong forum
#

It adds up if you consider that during big pulls

#

It's 50%

toxic pewter
#

raze is 50% of their damage in big pulls u mean

#

ok

warm plinth
#

Bears in big pulls is basically raze spam

#

Even outside of incarn

toxic pewter
#

I mean it needed a nerf imo.. raze was OP and maybe still is

strong forum
#

That'll change slightly

#

Due to rage gen nerfs

#

So the combined dmg loss is larger

warm plinth
#

Yeah blood frenzy nerf was probably the most significant nerf they got

#

In aoe anyway

toxic pewter
#

still dont understand why blizzard not making more bold changes to the augmentation situation? clearly not a balanced spec whatsoever

opaque quest
jagged gust
grizzled nova
jagged gust
#

you gotta reward the people for playing the game the way they wanted it to be played

grizzled nova
#

And he's making fyrakk so that's encouraging.

opaque quest
#

Ah nice. Sark was a letdown

#

And Rasz was to long. Lets hope Fyrakk is somewhere in between

toxic pewter
#

Rasz was a great final boss fight

grizzled nova
#

Halondrus took like 350 something pulls and wasn't even the end boss.

ebon geyser
#

I mean ppl still mess the mechanics of emo lizard

#

And it has been how long

opaque quest
toxic pewter
#

oof

#

yeah I did LFR rasz cuz I was bored and even there people were messing it up lmao

ebon geyser
#

Sometimes I feel blizzard forgets pugs and casuals exist. Because raz was pug hell

opaque quest
#

I got helmet and axe on first kill if i didnt i wouldve unsubbed cause shes a wall with pugs and im not in the mood to slam my head against one for weeks

#

If Fyrakk is the same ill just play D4 critcake

#

Sludge was cool tho

ebon geyser
#

And now we gonna have faited raz... Cringe

opaque quest
#

Did blizz say anything about fated?

warm plinth
#

That we are 100% getting it

ebon geyser
#

Season 4

opaque quest
#

I skipped blizzcon apart from opening ceremony and D4 campfire

warm plinth
#

So we will probably have a 10.2.7 because they also said we are not getting a 10.3

ebon geyser
#

Fated in season 4 and wrap up before xpac

opaque quest
#

Guess im saving money on subs then

toxic pewter
#

we getting dragon riding in all zones in 10.2.5

strong forum
#

The correct wording is "raid remix"

#

The word "fated" was never uttered during the interview

#

Icy veins only made up that part

opaque quest
#

They probably mean the same then tho right?

warm plinth
#

It'll be something weird. And dinar were confirmed as well

opaque quest
#

Dinar now thanks

#

My DK still has no OCE. Cant wait for another season with sub optimal trinkets

jagged gust
opaque quest
#

Its the same in heroic

toxic pewter
#

lol yeah the LFR raiders are on a different planet

opaque quest
#

2.5k IO players playing like theyve never seen a raid boss

#

Boosting being 15k for a boss doesnt help

jagged gust
#

I boosted a guildie to 2.5k io and they have a pretty strong record of dying 2+ times per boss

grizzled nova
#

I still do sark lfr for the mount and kills still end with 2/3rds of the raid dead

jagged gust
#

I now know why KSH matters so little this season lmao

opaque quest
strong forum
#

This season?

#

KSH matters very little every season

#

It's just a checkbox

grizzled nova
#

last time ksm was cool was sl s1

#

been literally free ever since

opaque quest
#

RLP critcake

#

KSM was mega easy this season. I only did 13s and got to 2.2k or so

warm plinth
#

tbh the annoying thing about ksm/ksh is that they made zero effort to adjust it when it went from doing x level dungeon to being x level score

opaque quest
#

2k should be 15s everywhere just like before

warm plinth
#

Like idk why they didn't just keep it as doing 15s/20s and just add the caveat that you have to do them on both sides or something

#

instead of the very clearly inaccurate score requirement

opaque quest
#

I remember linking KSM for an invite in Legion/BFA gladge

grizzled nova
#

They need something between ksh, which takes barely even an active pulse to accomplish, and 0.1% title.

Why everyone is doing a tier list is ranking us like B tier Max 😂

I think we are A tier , tier set is huge for raid and we look pretty good for m+

uneven river

can we still get m+ rating this week or that season done

lusty tiger

because did you see what happened last time everyone put pwar as S tier

69 nerfs to execute in, we got more nerfs!

and werent even S tier

cosmic wyvern
#

so do you guys think the frostfire belt is gonna be an option this season or are we still gonna have to use 2 shadowflame patches

lusty grotto
#

its not an option due to how crafted gear is 3 ilvls lower than ilvl cap

#

but

if you cant get ilvl capped gear, then it can be

Embellishes should add 3 ilvls to the gear it's attached to

enough for 2 cleansing pains to take it off at least

so something is off

2 ppl flamed me cus "you just blast him now"

you have more stacks than 2 tho

you start with like 5

in mythic you should have 6
