Timewalking counts now?

sick sentinel

silk kiln
#

Heroics too

sick sentinel
#

so, why do i bother runing a 15

lusty tiger
#

Weirdge

sick sentinel
#

you know lol

lusty tiger
silk kiln
#

It’s for the casuals

lusty tiger
sick sentinel
#

im more towards casual player

#

i enjoy mid range ksm lvl keys

#

and lfr

#

normal

#

causal pvp

grizzled nova
#

aggressively planning a defensive rotation and noy overlapping - even judiciously done you'll likely have to take one natty eventually

#

I dunno what we'll do next week

lusty tiger
#

When he shapeshifts into a bear and charges?

grizzled nova
#

dulhu

#

1.3m nature damage hit every 15 seconds in a 20 next week.

lusty tiger
#

Oof

#

External pls

grand veldt
#

Sounds fun

lusty tiger
#

Fort sanguine weeks you learn a lot

#

And first tyr week we will learn a lot too

#

Every key is going to become a healer key lol

#

Lower 2nd boss will be BRUTAL

grizzled nova
#

I mean we're just gonna die lmao

sick sentinel
#

throne tyrannical is going to btfo groups

lusty tiger
#

Throne is actually easy on the bosses with a premade lol

sick sentinel
#

its the pug destroyer lol

lusty tiger
#

The trash is so sketchy tho

lusty tiger
grizzled nova
#

if they made dulhu's charge reflectable or deflectable it would do alot to ameliorate that for us

#

but holy fuck pwar is bad for that boss

lusty tiger
#

I mean yeah it’s always nice to take 0 damage

sick sentinel
#

i just wanna get the mount

lusty tiger
#

On a hit that does like 1.5x your hp

sick sentinel
#

and then quit

#

im not gunna take it super serious at all

#

like, there are a bunch of steam games i want to beat in 2024 not so much wow

#

i have all the mega man x games on steam now 1 - 8, i beat the 8 bit ones on xbox years ago

flat sorrel
#

Coming back after not playing since S1 and have to reset all my addons. Anyone have any good weak auras or addons they can’t live without for mythic+?

sick sentinel
#

depends the content you are doing really

#

just the normal stuff from me very basic non intrusive "non union forming addons"

lusty tiger
sick sentinel
#

probably plater is the one i cant do with out

#

and mdt due to keys

lusty tiger
#

Oh yea mdt

sick sentinel
#

dbm/details are extremely nice to haves, but not required

#

blizzard mdt, hell yeah

#

it just totally depends on what angle you want to do raid pvp keys and then you get addons and wa's that help with those

grizzled nova
grand veldt
#

No

#

I tested his charge extensively

#

There's 2 or 3 spots you can make him cancel his charge at

#

And only 1 spot I've been able to do it reliably

#

It feels like you have to be out of his direct LOS and max melee range or his charge will still go off

#

If he charges and you leap it'll just increase the distance of his charge

#

He even will charge around LOS objects

grizzled nova
#

mmm

grand veldt
#

You can kind of avoid the ground damage

#

But never the charge

grizzled nova
#

if they let us disjoint or reflect it would definitely be more fair

sick sentinel
#

yeah, i gotta run a 17 if i want the 467 1/6 hero gear to drop directly eod

grizzled nova
#

but we barely have the kit to tank it in fort

grand veldt
#

We can reflect the poison claws dot on aboms

#

It does a lot of damage

grizzled nova
#

it's gonna absolutely fuck us tomorrow

grand veldt
#

That's the only new thing I found

tardy grove
#

In DHT if you heroic leap after tree boss throws you, does it still do damage to people next to you?

bleak breach
#

Found out what everyone meant about the bleeds in ToT lastnight haha

grand veldt
#

I'm planning to try and use the cragshapers trinket tomorrow

#

1 min cd 50% flat reduction

sick sentinel
#

groups gunna find out about tyranical yazma tomorrow

bleak breach
#

Hasn’t done it yet and did a 15 as my first, I was just getting wiped by them

grand veldt
#

Gives you an extra defensive

sick sentinel
#

and pain that comes with someone didnt do the blood so prestess is healing

#

so now the fight took 4 minutes to kill

#

im telling you guys now, the spider on tyranical when they explode, its a 1 shot for dps and most healers

#

its a 2 shot for us tanks

#

on like a 15-20

#

wracking pain is no joke either, whoever gets it is basically doomed

oblique garnet
#

Wracking pain needs to be interrupted

#

Tanks can always solo kick that

sick sentinel
#

yup, normally can

#

but if it does go off

#

that guy is so screwed

rare summit
grizzled nova
trim condor
#

already asked in VDH discord
isnt this little off?
I was tanking it and it barely moved my hp even with more stacks

dusky canopy
#

Yo your healer paid attention to you using defensive and covered your gap

#

🧠🧠

trim condor
#

didnt have single personal from healer

#

what scaling is in +17 dungeon? because this was hitting me more than that claws with 3 stacks
and this should be lower, shouldnt it?

lusty tiger
#

The bear charge can be dodged

strong forum
lusty tiger
#

Just need to be knocked back far enough away

trim condor
#

I know it can be dodged, I leaped into that by accident on my dh.

lusty tiger
#

O_O

trim condor
strong forum
#

they buffed that charge by like 250% before the patch went live

trim condor
strong forum
#

dunno, you got any log of agonizing claw

grizzled nova
trim condor
#

I dont think I have unfornatelly, was tanking council first time and I was afraid that I will get destroyed and was suprised it didnt do that much

grizzled nova
#

if you demo shout/have 2pc even less

strong forum
#

physical tankbusters in raid never do much

grizzled nova
#

pwar is giga tanked for the raid

strong forum
#

dont get scared because of a big number

#

this is what i took from claw on normal

#

this is what sense took on heroic

grizzled nova
#

most busters are mostly physical so do manageable damage and all the scary magic damage and dots can be spell blocked

sick sentinel
#

GTFO if you are bad at standing in the fire

grizzled nova
#

this raid is quite good for us

trim condor
sick sentinel
#

thats another good addon some times

strong forum
#

alot of tankbusters in raid are phys/magic split this time around

#

and not just pure magic

#

so it works alot in our favour

trim condor
#

then I dont know why that charge tanked me so much when it should be similiar, maybe lesss damage than agonizing with stacks

grizzled nova
#

and they're like 80/20 phys/magic

#

we're chilling

strong forum
sick sentinel
#

not having blood surge feels a bit cursed ngl

trim condor
sick sentinel
#

i rank like 3 or 4 keys without it

#

maybe more? i did 9 keys total

trim condor
#

thanks for the info guys. Maybe I just got out of cds too soon and charge hit me without anything

sick sentinel
#

cosntantly raged starved without charge/sc

#

but, it wasnt a huge deal breaker, it just meant i had less SB u ptime

trim condor
#

how protection warrior feels in keys right now? I always play protect as second tank, after I learn routes and I cant imagine my runs without mass aoe interupts

#

this season feels cursed with casters

bleak breach
#

Damn, can no longer interrupt wracking pain

sick sentinel
#

im tuaren and if i wasnt ii'd be highmount if not some defensive race like dwarve,

bleak breach
#

Could make things interesting

grizzled nova
#

fine, with a few notable bosses and pulls, but not safe enough to justify its lack of utility vs a vdh or ppala atm.

#

but it works if you want to play pwar

lusty tiger
sick sentinel
#

i get free aoe cow stomp stun or a i could race change to HM and get a shorter dragon charge

#

so, i don't have as many issues with stops in keys but i have some

trim condor
trim condor
grizzled nova
#

where spell relfect basically is the niche utility of pwar, there aren't enough specific enabling cases for it to justify pwar over having insanely more kicks with ppala or insanely more stops with vdh

bleak breach
#

All the adds got nerfed in there

#

Bosses got buffed though

sick sentinel
#

im not qualified in rocky and bullwinkle moose charge physics to swap to hmt

bleak breach
strong forum
#

that deios nerf aint enough

trim condor
#

Felspite Dominator’s Sic Bats! will now command up to 4 bats to attack their target (was unlimited).
this is welcome change

bleak breach
tiny trellis
#

so I got a +9 key for something's RIse but everytime I make a gruop it puts in Gorgon's Fall or something and i can't change it

red otter

sick sentinel
#

wtf is a cool up

median tulip
#

This is quite welcome though; these things trucked

sick sentinel
#

i see they are using gpt to write balance patchs pfft cool up

red otter
#

Where do you see "cool up"

#

I feel blind

sick sentinel
#

im only just shouting from peanut gallery

#

ozumat

red otter
#

Oh lol

grizzled nova
sick sentinel
#

im all for them us8ng gpt for that kind of thing or writing some trivial quest thing i will say

tiny trellis
#

is the mega dungeon still a thing?

median tulip
tiny trellis
#

i wanted to ask GPT if it can make me an action bar and set my keybindings

trim condor
sick sentinel
#

just, the have to run it by lore or numbers guys first for sure

grizzled nova
#

Blizzards obsession with scaling m+ difficulty by making every key a fucken mess of requiring perfect interrupt and cc cycling or you die can be tiring

median tulip
trim condor
#

maybe I had bad groups, but solo dmging there as a tank didnt feel great tbh

grizzled nova
#

it just isn't instanteous death if you miss a cc anymore

median tulip
#

It never was, if you could kill bats fast enough

grizzled nova
#

no one is killing bats fast enough to avoid the death at relevant key levels

#

cc is how survival was accomplished

median tulip
#

I think you underestimate my static's capacity for Murder

grizzled nova
#

sure

sick sentinel
#

murdering the enemy good strategy until they use it on you and are better at it and end uo killing you unkess you use moves that stop them from attacking temporarily

median tulip
#

Death is WoW's way of telling you that you suck

pallid quiver
#

Damn, I suck at Rezan's fight, then

#

Should have gone farther than leap smh

grizzled nova
#

oo at the yazma change in there

#

so wracking pain in a 20 tyr is gonna hit the target for ~450k and tick every 2 sec for ~200k three times

#

healers gonna have to be precasting the target for that yeesh

#

can definitely fail the boss now if people aren't pressing defensives and the healer isn't ready to pop off on people

young rivet
#

is there an ilvl amount worth break 4pc from t30?

#

didn't see anything on wowhead about it

lusty grotto
#

sim

young rivet
#

sim as a tank? o.0

errant leaf
#

guys bis slot for set is all but helm right ?

lusty grotto
#

yes sim

young rivet
#

dps > 5% dmg reduction is what you're sayin?

lusty grotto
#

youre looking to replace it

#

you will have your answer when you sim

#

tanks dont look at surv since before cataclysm

#

and even then

#

it was just an EHP pseudo sim in EJ's forums

#

which could have wildly varied results and/or not as relevant as it should be

#

we sim for damage

#

and have since pandaria

hardy snow
#

thats what I call good start of a fight wicked

lusty grotto
#

gholak?

modern gazelle
#

fuck doti rise...

#

that dungeon is cancer

hardy snow
lusty grotto
#

nice

#

i hope i can get it soon 😦

hardy snow
#

you will have one in vault

lusty grotto
#

gotta do set first for raid sadly

#

fingers crossed though

hardy snow
#

for raid we mostly need 2p, you can have it from catalyst+2k rio on next week or 1,6k on rated pvp

lusty grotto
#

if i get a signet or a gholak im just gonna say fuck 4p

lusty grotto
#

i should get curio tonight actually

#

from 2k

#

we will see

#

im not raiding as prot though so

pallid quiver
hardy snow
worthy briar
#

prot been great

hardy snow
#

Ive had it on normal

#

then Ive had it on hc

pallid quiver
#

Also if your group decides to not duck Urctos in council because it's a dps loss for the melee

lusty grotto
#

lmaoo

#

i mean thats weird logic by them anyway

#

cause they aint dpsing as ducks anyway

pallid quiver
#

Exactly

#

If they duck on bear, the melee gets ducked

lusty grotto
#

err

pallid quiver
#

Nevermind the fact the bear is in narnia because he's at 60% and the other two bosses at 90%

lusty grotto
#

why isnt melee moving to the other side

pallid quiver
#

god i hate dps

lusty grotto
#

also dps shouldnt be on bear

pallid quiver
#

Correct on all accounts

#

It's a fucking wild difference raiding in tuesday versus the weekend

lusty grotto
#

yup

#

thats always been the case

#

week 1 also

quartz badger
#

hey all, honest question, how the heck are yall surviving high DOTI Rise keys last boss? I feel like its just not possible to an extent

grizzled nova
#

leap is your best friend

lusty grotto
#

you leap away from the breath

#

and then you pop reflect for summoner adds

grizzled nova
#

you can range nearly every other breath with leap

lusty grotto
#

and cycle spell block in

grizzled nova
#

stack dr for non leaps

lusty grotto
#

uhh

#

SR should be enough

quartz badger
#

had no idea you could range

#

thank yall

lusty grotto
#

i didnt leap out of it for an 18

#

or did any fancy shit

quartz badger
#

19 was brutal

grizzled nova
#

you can cover two breaths with spell block

lusty grotto
#

leap is def the play tomorrow

#

you want spell block for add nukes

#

so you want to line it up on non-leaps

#

and when adds start to summon

#

or rather

#

you want non-leaps to happen when summoners start nuking you

#

for spell block

median tulip
#

He's going to be an absolute twat on Tyrannical, it is true

lusty grotto
#

basically since spell block doesnt do shit for the dot

#

but it will block the initial hit, and every single nuke that comes your way

quartz badger
#

really good point...

grizzled nova
#

deios hurts but is manageable

#

dulhu on the other hand

cosmic wyvern
#

what should I get rid of to run disrupting shout in a throne

lusty grotto
#

you got spell block?

#

if you do then you dropped bloodsurge, so the only possible choice is

#

SoF

#

and no Tlord

median tulip
#

That boss fight will be a run killer

#

The Heartsbane Triad might be nasty as well

lusty grotto
#

witches were nasty in tyrannical bfa

#

especially the third one

#

but... it should cauterizeable

#

its bopabble and dwafable iirc

#

and obviously i mean for your dps

median tulip
#

As far as I know they can't be Spell Blocked

lusty grotto
#

oh

median tulip
#

By "the third one" do you mean Briar? That one that does the Bramble Bolt cast?

lusty grotto
#

their nukes?

#

the one that puts the bleed

#

that shit deleted people in bfa in tyrannical weeks

median tulip
#

Yeah, Bramble Bolt is the DoT

lusty grotto
#

hell it did giga damage on our 20 this week

median tulip
#

She just fucking spams it

lusty grotto
#

its not bramble bolt

#

you can just kick those

#

and the witches that arent active dont do as much damage you focus kick on the targettable one

#

iris holder is the kick rotation target

#

always

#

i was talking about jagged nettles

#

witches arent an issue because of their casts on tyrannical, its cause of their special ability

#

specifically specifically jagged nettles

median tulip
#

I assume the initial hit is blockable but the DoT is always applied?

lusty grotto
#

and about Everbloom... Dulhu will be a pain for sure, but at least you can manage with spell block

#

what do you mean

#

nettles never go on tanks

#

just on dps

median tulip
#

I see

orchid mural
#

What do you guys think of the porcelain crab trinket from ToTT?

median tulip
#

If you have it and you don't have anything better, then by all means use it, but it'll lose out to a lot of other trinkets in the long run

warm plinth
#

Hard to say that with certainty because dance doesn't sim very well

#

Oversims by quite a bit

cinder nova
#

How many stacks can we comfortably take on H tindral

pallid quiver
#

On both tanks' end

pallid quiver
#

Oh for seeds zero clue off the top of my head

#

Just grab them until you die and then blame healers

lusty grotto
#

idk about tanks but as arms i only grab 2

#

on heroic

#

our brew took 1 stack

#

our bdk took 3 through 7 lol

latent cargo
#

So it seems to me that Dwarf is really good this season. So many bleeds and things

noble wind
#

Whats the current "better" of the two right now ranking wise?

Bear or Prot Warrior?

toxic pewter
#

if you have to ask the question, you are not ready for the answer

sand pebble
pallid quiver
toxic pewter
#

just play whichever you find more appealing/fun

#

ngl the 2000 rating ksm m+ mounts for dragonflight may be go down as the greatest dissapointment of the entire expansion lmao

maiden ravine
#

woot, got a normal fyrakk weapon

toxic pewter
#

grats, I also got one, tis a nice axe

maiden ravine
#

I feel a bit bad, I changed my loot spec to fury just in case, the warrior that tanked the run had his spec to arms

#

but I was top dps so it's not that bad

pallid quiver
#

That's acceptable to me

#

I'd be butt mad if a dead or butt headed DPS got it, but if you were top I guess

#

Hey there. With second spark nearly there i was wondering 2x Shadowflame Patch still best Embelishment combo right?

#

How the hell do i survive Crushing Grip tank Buster on Oakheart? Darkheart 2nd boss. 20+ keys

Gholak is insane!

winged slate
#

Wall, external, wall worked for me. I've also been told you can leap out of the throw but I didn't have any success doing that

jagged pier
#

u leap out of breath

#

not grip

#

your pretty much at the healers mercy in grip

#

yes u can hit the boss during it

#

but we arent a bdk u can DS your hp back

winged slate
#

They were claiming you could leap during the chuck portion

#

So that you don't land on a dps

jagged pier
#

yer u can do that

winged slate
#

I spammed leap and didn't manage it

jagged pier
#

but they need to be further away

winged slate
#

Skill issue

#

Oh that could be it

#

It was some 20yd hunter each time

errant leaf
#

Is there a dungeon where spell reflect isnt mandatory ?

little marsh
#

Spell reflect is amazing why you wouldnt want it

prisma phoenix
#

It's a super good ability and you should always have it

ionic fern
#

Also, Spell Reflect is a base ability..

prisma phoenix
#

It's also off the GCD so literally no reason not to take it

#

It's in the base warrior tree, yes. But you still have to invest a point

#

But it's literally the best point you can spend

ionic fern
#

There's nothing else to pick even.

prisma phoenix
#

You could... uhm... err... pick Intervene

#

Or Berserker Rage

#

Idk uWu

jagged pier
blazing condor
#

B rage hopium

errant leaf
#

Spell block*

#

Wanted to type spell block

prisma phoenix
#

Well, that changes nothing really

#

You still want to have spell block for dungeons

teal swift
#

Maybe Black rook hold?

#

That place isn't really filled with many super bad casts

#

But I'd still want it to try to block volley at the end susge

warm plinth
#

If you're gonna run it in BRH it would be for soul blasts if you're doing a big pull at the start

#

Otherwise it's kinda useless

primal orchid
#

Does dps matter for protection in M+/raid?
If so, what is a solid target to be hitting

warm plinth
#

Yes, but there are too many variables to give you an answer to that.

#

Your best bet is to run some keys/raid, log it, either go over it yourself or have us look at it for you, and use the information to improve.

primal orchid
#

Oof. Okay, would a more fair/realistic question be what should my sim say to make sure my gear is up to par?

warm plinth
#

You can sim various target counts to get a ballpark idea of what you should be doing on e.g. ST or a 5 target pack, but that won't really give you a number you're trying to hit on a damage meter if that makes sense

primal orchid
#

Also, I have no one to run keys with, not really sure how to get invited when I'm in pvp gear and have only run a +0 and +2

warm plinth
#

what ilevel are you for PvE?

primal orchid
#

And what is ST?
Sorry just getting back and trying to re-learn.

warm plinth
#

single target

Assuming you're playing correctly, you could probably do like 10s without even noticing anything. Going above that you could still survive but there'd be less room for mistakes, especially on some trash. Next week will feel way more comfortable to learn in over 10 keys since trash will hit like paper

blazing condor
#

you can skip the 2 bears before 1st boss in dht right?

warm plinth
#

idk why I said like paper but you know what I mean

is there a ledge run or something

found it on twitter

i go to youtube and wowhead first for answers about wow

then, on mobile i go on twitter and reddit simply to scroll view posts for like 5 minutes

#

never really post much of anything online, mostly my shitty keys yt videos

blazing condor

sick sentinel
#

df already felt like enough of a mlp episode..... guess it fits

#

i need to get the ksm mount and some fire heaethstone from raid, then i can quit

#

after that only thing to raally do is race farm and war supplies farm for 60k worth

oblique forge
#

what trinkets would you guys use? the butchers block is only on veteran, so 8/8. both others can be upgraded

sick sentinel
#

i dont think df was horrible, but i think it was overly safe is how inwould put it

#

did not attempt to take any shocking risks in terms of story telling or cinematics

maiden ravine
#

It didn't have any long cosmetic grind that usually keeps me interested

#

Makes me miss covenants

sick sentinel
#

covenants itself wasnt nessecarily bad

#

it was just tied to a larger overall cancerous bloated boring systems

#

torghast and the maw, torghast not so bad when not fprced to do it, hell when forced to

#

cuz to get to torghast you have to go into the well of souls into fhe maw, purgatory, and there is nothing going on there at all, feels loke real purgatory

#

and then you go to some weird tower basically indescribable and gotta do puzzles and have to run it fast and by end pf week, just came off as totally cold and uncaring zones to the player

#

and becuase of thst i actively avoided travelong to those area and limiting time there

#

its one thing to creat video game hell map,backdrop, another to make it really feel that way to play

bleak breach

blazing condor
#

my first council kill consisted of holding the bear and just melee swinging it for 2 minutes

#

cus the pug blasted him to like 40% lower than everyone else

#

so we had to catch up

blazing condor
#

me too

#

but preferably when you can cleave evenly

#

holding dps is boring

GOOD LUCK ON VAULTS

heres hoping you guys get sent to hosetown on your vaults

Really hoping @flat stratus get signet brand and i get shit so im even more demotivated and dont play wow deadge

lusty tiger
#

Just don’t log in then you can’t get any vault

sick sentinel
#

not true i think,

#

i think there is something about it saves your vault now if you dont take last weeks

lusty tiger
#

Yeah but you have to login to open it

opaque quest
#

I mean im still gonna login and see if i can progress some HC this week but man having another fated season really killed DF

#

For me at least

#

But i like to complain in general sooo

lusty tiger
#

Why I liked fated

Fated beacon will go hard

#

Fated boon

opaque quest
#

I dont wanna do Rasz again critcake

lusty tiger
#

Then don’t

opaque quest
#

But Loot

#

2h Axe

lusty tiger
#

Nah

#

Raz was a good but also horrible boss

opaque quest
#

Probably will have to finish all fated HC raids for a mount or smth

#

Rasz was great. People are terrible tho

#

A dps interrupting during a boosfight? Shame i havent talented it. Rip sparks. Deal with it

lusty tiger
#

I think they need to make the 2 big ad intermission easier

#

At least on heroic

#

Just lower the hp of the mobs a bit lol

#

Also, if they do what I expect them to do, VotI rings and Forgestorm in the same season

lusty tiger
#

No more frickstorm pls

median tulip
#

(my expectation is that the Fated Season M+ Dungeon Rotation will be all 8 of the original DF Dungeons)

lusty tiger
#

That would make sense though

median tulip
#

Yeah

#

It making sense is the one weakness of my argument

lusty tiger
#

LOL

median tulip
#

But it would be pretty odd to have an expansion that only has its own dungeons in rotation for one season

oblique radish
flat stratus
blazing condor
#

any m+ build for 2p2p or do we just run old

jagged pier
#

u know better than this

flint cliff
#

Guess no bolster without old 4set

blazing condor
grizzled nova
blazing condor
#

idk you obv go thunderlord

#

but bolster kinda nice

#

actually nvm

grizzled nova
#

well ye thunderlord as well

blazing condor
#

is thunderlord even necessary before 4p

#

its gonna be the same amount of casts anyway p much

grizzled nova
#

thunderlord and bolster and spell block for the most part

grizzled nova
blazing condor
#

then what changed cus we ran show of force before

#

and its the same amount of tc before 4p

#

unless im stupid

strong forum
#

With T31 you press less revenge and more thunderclap

blazing condor
#

even with 2p? shouldnt it be the same casts

#

idk i just wanna understand it but i feel like im missin something

#

cus the TC cdr is on 4p

strong forum
#

Nah with 2pc nothing changes

blazing condor
#

ye thats what i mean

#

so we still go SoF with 2p then

#

?

strong forum
#

Sure

#

The diff isn't large

blazing condor
#

but put point into TR keystone

strong forum
#

You literally just run the same talent build as with t30

#

Nothing changes

#

Only with 4pc is when you switch away from bolster

uneven mason
#

TFW you try as hard as you can to get ksm on week 2 and every wcm has some fucked thing happen

#

Like the healer DC on 3 runs in a row

#

Guess I'll just have to go big this week to get it

blazing condor
#

thank

jagged ferry
#

Do we open vault in prot spec or fury?

median tulip
jagged pier
#

im opening is arms

jagged ferry
#

Sorry what’s a mythic track shield/rewards

stuck crane
#

489 shield or a shield that is upgradable to that from m18+ vault

jagged ferry
#

That’s my shield

median tulip
#

Did you do an 18 key last week?

jagged ferry
#

I did a 16

median tulip
#

In your case I'd probably open as DPS then

uneven mason
#

Is it 18 that gives mythic track? Was 16

jagged ferry
#

What’s the thought process veins that?

#

Behind*

uneven mason
#

Oh right they added the 1 tier at the top of heroic

median tulip
#

18s are the minimum for Mythic track gear, but the first boss of the Raid drops a Shield

#

And generally trinkets are harder to come by than shields

uneven mason
jagged ferry
#

Thankyou

uneven mason
#

Or arms to just aim for trinkets

jagged ferry
#

In what circumstance would you open in prot then?

#

I have 476 Resans eye so I’m fine with trinkets

uneven mason
#

If you need a shield and did an 18

jagged ferry
#

And what’s the reasoning for an 18?

uneven mason
#

Since you'll get a mythic shield that'll go to 489

median tulip
#

If I had Mythic raid kills I would open as Protection for the two good tank trinkets

uneven mason
#

Mythic track rewards start at 18

jagged ferry
#

Shield is guaranteed at 18 key level?

uneven mason
#

No

jagged ferry
#

What’s mythic track rewards?

#

Sorry esl

uneven mason
#

But you'll never need to replace the shield if you do get it

jagged ferry
#

Oh okay

uneven mason
#

With an 18

#

Or the first 2 mythic bosses

jagged ferry
#

Thankyou guys

median tulip
jagged ferry
#

Would you open for tank trinkets and shield?

#

Or go for DPS trinks?

median tulip
#

Ideally you want to do a +20 for 483 to save crests ofc

waxen frigate
#

Yea it’s a very slim difference though

#

And only relevant for the first few weeks honestly

lusty grotto
#

yo nish

waxen frigate
#

Sup

lusty grotto
#

how much do you know about ww?

#

can you do a log review for example?

waxen frigate
#

Uhhh I can play it decently

haughty ibex
#

It's still when you max out 489 in an item slot it doesn't incur a crest cost for other items in the same slot, yes?

waxen frigate
#

But no probably not a log review

lusty grotto
#

my brother has been lackluster as of late

#

and he has been playing it for a while

#

i know the class is kinda dogshit atm

#

but still

#

you dont need to max ilvl an item, discounts happen on everything as long as you have a higher ilvl slot piece

winged slate
lusty grotto
#

i.e. if you have a mythic piece 1/4 that has worse stats than a mythic 2/4 you get 1 level discoutned

toxic pewter
#

who ready for vault tuesday

winged slate
#

I'm ready to run a tyrannical AD and have the rezan bleed just kill me

uneven mason
lusty tiger
winged slate
#

The real question is what loot spec to open vault in

lusty grotto
#

depends if you will kill tree in mythic fast

#

i personally wont do prot spec on vault for now

toxic pewter
#

Yah I think im gonna do fury

lusty grotto
#

yea basically

#

honestly if youre looking to push

#

and you wont touch mythic tree in a while

#

you should probably do prot

toxic pewter
#

Any word on how difficult mythic tree is by chance

lusty grotto
#

but not for vault keys, that isnt pushing

#

honestly a lot of people might not be able to do it since cross realm mythic aint open yet

#

its only week 2 after all

torn gulch
toxic pewter
#

I see

torn gulch
#

not extremy hard but a step up from heroic

toxic pewter
#

Right

lusty grotto
#

its puggable

#

not close to kazzara levels

torn gulch
#

yea i know he has bis shield and a very good two hander as well for fury and arms

toxic pewter
#

Gonna do it without any other shield users 🤣

torn gulch
#

and i think pants for catalyst?

winged slate
#

Well I do have 60 aspect frags so I'm considering just crafting a 486 shield or amulet and calling that done for the season

lusty grotto
#

should be fine if not pushing

#

we're killing tree this week in the guild so im not gonna sweat it

torn gulch
#

dungeon event comes next reset with a heroic box

winged slate
#

I'm not likely to kill any mythic boses so best I could hope for is a vault shield later

torn gulch
#

one extra chance at some raid loot

toxic pewter
#

Now I’m not sure if I should open in prot or fury lol. I have heroic shield but champion weapon

torn gulch
#

in like 2 months

toxic pewter
#

Maybe prot makes more sense 🤔

winged slate
#

Maybe I just open in arms

#

Like a true gamer

toxic pewter
#

Lol

lusty grotto
#

kinda strange how

opaque quest
sick sentinel
#

am i the only one afraid of Oakheart on tyrannical.. ./hide

lusty grotto
#

for fury you want to open as arms

#

but for prot+arms you want to open as fury lmao

winged slate
#

I have the shadowflame suffused weapon from normal Fyrakk so no 1h is gonna tickle me

torn gulch
pallid quiver
pallid quiver
#

Likely still gonna need healer help on higher keys, but

torn gulch
#

deios nerfs are a joke

opaque quest
lusty grotto
#

you should be more afraid of EB council and rezan's bleed

torn gulch
#

getting every rise key bricked at last boss will be fun

waxen frigate
#

And getting one tapped by the last boss of AD now

toxic pewter
#

I take a lot of damage during council fight

#

That charge he does hurts

winged slate
#

Yeah rezan bleed was kicking my ass this week cause healers didn't respect it at all

#

Or last week, rather

torn gulch
lusty grotto
#

rezan's bleed FUCKED you up in tyrannical bfa

toxic pewter
#

Ngl the Atal’Dazar buffs kinda confuse me somewhat

#

At least 1 or 2 of them

torn gulch
#

in rezan fight healers only need to heal the tank there is no excuse to disrespect the bleed

winged slate
#

I'm pretty much gonna have to wall it or pray the healer is paying attention, preferably both

sick sentinel
#

i remember the rezan dot.. it go right for the no no spots

median tulip
#

Wracking Pain being uninterruptible is going to chunk some DPS

lusty grotto
#

just be dwarf 🙂

winged slate
#

I have cheat death trinket so that's close enough

lusty grotto
#

wall 1st, dwarf 2nd

torn gulch
#

i guess we'll have to try to play double wall in some stuff

sick sentinel

I'll just fuckin die lmao

some time i feel like i almost never need healing so when there is a machanic that will clap me healer is like.. what jst ahppened lol

pallid quiver

#

Wall cooldown is back up in like 90s or something

#

Just rotate it

pallid quiver
#

Closer to a minute if playing well

lusty grotto
#

we're fear mongering here but just remember

#

we get 10% dr from 2pc as well

#

so dont be too scared

jagged pier

imainge having new tier

"10% dr from 2pc"

"2pc"

lusty grotto
pallid quiver
#

i'm sorry to say i only have non-tier main body gear

winged slate
#

Yeah I was about to say, you guys are getting tier?

lusty grotto
#

😢

winged slate
#

Maybe if I drop a single tier piece in raid I'll use my 2k tier piece for 2pc

lusty grotto
#

maybe i shouldn't have said anything

waxen frigate
winged slate
#

That way I can finally un-macro my last stand lul

lusty grotto

waxen frigate
#

I’m not an edgy child who needs to play the “bad guy”

pallid quiver
#

it pains me to know people have 4p and gholak

#

and i'm over here

sick sentinel
#

we all gettting tier in the vault, clearly

pallid quiver
#

with like a ring and a cloak

torn gulch
#

it's still early

pallid quiver
#

and the cloak isn't an upgrade

sick sentinel
#

i mean the vault never lets us down

winged slate
#

But what if I want rezan trinket in my vault?

lusty grotto
#

well i mean vault tier + catalyst should be ez 2pc

#

2k/aotc for 3rd

fossil cloud
#

What piece is already made? or they think it's the best

lusty grotto
#

just get lucky on LFR>normal>heroic

#

> just get lucky, says Nimchip

toxic pewter
#

u think i should do lfr then normal then heroic in that order

#

that makes the most sense right

opaque quest
#

Why

toxic pewter
#

or does it matter even

opaque quest
#

No

lusty grotto
#

sure

toxic pewter
#

ok

opaque quest
#

Do HC first

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt matter really

toxic pewter
#

ok

opaque quest
#

Why waste your time in LFR if you get everything you need in HC

lusty grotto
#

ill do LFR asap cause im in a guild

toxic pewter
#

hmm

#

i dunno i thought about it before if it matters or not

winged slate
#

To steal tier from the LFR heroes, obviously

fossil cloud
#

You made your First Craft?

waxen frigate
lusty grotto

bruh

#

they were talking about doing that

#

i was like yikes

Good old dragonsoul times

toxic pewter

that happened to me during transmog runs

I still thinking the best óption for my First craft

"Ozumat: Foul Bolt now has an 8 second initial cool up"

wtf they talking about cool up

waxen frigate
winged slate
#

Imagine thinking that factions even exist in modern wow

toxic pewter
#

who uses term cool up unironically

#

gtfo

winged slate
#

Just pick for aesthetics

waxen frigate
winged slate
#

I have characters on both sides mate

#

I just pick what looks neat

waxen frigate
#

No I’m saying

#

People who are diehard horde tend to care more

opaque quest
#

Same. My warr is human my main is forsaken

waxen frigate
#

Or night elf mains

#

They’re weird

opaque quest
#

Played alliance main last season

waxen frigate
#

I just play human for mog reasons

opaque quest
#

Still. In the EU at least ravencrest/Silvermoon alliance players are the worst toxic kids

opaque quest
silent vessel
#

i play dwarf with deviate delight all day on my main

winged slate

I like female troll, night elves, nightborne, and that's mostly it lul

silent vessel

silvermoon has always been like this since inner sanctum days lol

opaque quest

So good

winged slate

Basic bitch tabard

silent vessel

its a classic

ur a classic

#

EVERYONE wears that thing if they wear one at all

silent vessel
#

yeah im old

winged slate
#

I sold mine

opaque quest

I mean its the only good looking tabard

#

When you need blue

winged slate
#

I just don't use tabards cause they're lame

opaque quest
#

Youre lame

#

Hah gottem

winged slate

:\

uneven mason
winged slate
#

I'm just not a tabard gamer

opaque quest
#

I want the rare/epic/whatever argentum one

#

From icecrown

#

But the grind is to much

waxen frigate
pallid quiver
#

Male Tauren tabards help hide the massive stretching that goes on in the chest area for most chest piece textures

waxen frigate
#

Im a low-medium fantasy enjoyer

pallid quiver
#

so i pretty much always rock some kind of tabard

lusty grotto
#

🙂

#

either way my guild was joking about it, but its not doable cause you cant queue LFR cross-faction

opaque quest
#

You being dwarf is influencing them

#

Turning them to the baby side

#

Outside they are horde

#

Inside they are toddlers

lusty grotto
#

to be fair

pallid quiver
torn gulch
lusty grotto
#

alliance was the top faction in vanilla so

torn gulch
#

i am a wrathfull enjoyer

pallid quiver
#

though sometimes i really miss dorf dispell when a healer sentences me to the dispell shadow realm

waxen frigate
#

Had like 7 alliance rest horde

lusty grotto
waxen frigate
#

But all of our healers were ally

lusty grotto
#

dirty lol

winged slate
#

What time is reset even? Maybe I'll go open vault for disappointment during a break

torn gulch
#

in an hour?

lusty grotto
#

yea

torn gulch
#

na right?

lusty grotto
#

NA in an hour

winged slate
#

Noice just in time to finish a meeting

lusty grotto
#

if there's no extended maintenance at least

#

thanksgiving week meetings are lul

winged slate
#

The real question is if Tindral gets nerfed again before someone kills it

lusty grotto
waxen frigate
#

Echo is talking about going back and doing more splits

torn gulch
#

they should leave it as it is reset is coming with extra gear

pallid quiver
torn gulch
#

having 2 hard bosses for a raid is ok

winged slate
#

Depends how long it ends up making the raid take

pallid quiver
#

they should buff it mid pull

#

it'd be funny

winged slate
#

I'm personally a fan of ~10 day races

torn gulch
#

tswift falls early after reset with the extra gear

#

then you have 3-4 days on fyrakk

waxen frigate
#

And how much gear will improve it

#

I don’t really think it’s a gear diff

winged slate
#

Tindral doesn't seem like a numbers game yeah

lusty grotto
#

i mean liquid was mostly wiping to seeds

#

objectively

#

more dps = less seeds = less mistakes

toxic pewter
#

is cross realm mythic raid still locked behind first 100 guilds or whatever

#

is that still how it works

lusty tiger
#

Gear helps but they still need a perfect pull lol

winged slate
#

I kept seeing a lot of instances where the roots lasted 6 years so stuff overlapped really poorly

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

i suppose RNG is a big factor

waxen frigate
#

But I know they said they’re getting rid of it

lusty tiger
torn gulch
#

they are like 60 pulls away from avatar jesus

lusty grotto
#

yea

toxic pewter
#

Ok thx

lusty grotto
#

so does positioning

lusty tiger
winged slate
#

This is with a massive nerf, keep in mind

#

Tindral already ate a 20% health nerf

toxic pewter
#

the seed mechanic is just way too chaotic for such a short timing window

torn gulch
#

imagine saying before the raid that tswift might be as hard as avatar of sargeras

uneven mason
#

They're struggling with the fight because they can't just pay for a wa to be developed to do it for them keks

waxen frigate
#

Yeah I don’t think anyone expected this at all

winged slate
#

It looked chaotic as fuck in every preview I saw, it doesn't shock me that it's hard

waxen frigate
#

This is one of the longest prog bosses of all time that isn’t a final boss

torn gulch
#

yea when i did it on ptr it was so chaotic on heroic i was like mythic is gonna be a clustefuck

uneven mason
#

It's not staraug level but still

waxen frigate
#

And even then

winged slate
#

It just seems like turbo hard fight + overtuned, but we'll see what happens

uneven mason
#

I don't think it's overtuned at this point, with the health reduction it's possible just hard, because there's personal responsibility and that's ok

waxen frigate
#

keks they just pointed out the ENTIRETY of Aberrus took fewer pulls than Tswift so far

winged slate
#

I don't think it's impossible

uneven mason
#

Not having a rwf be done in 1 reset for once actually makes it interesting

winged slate
#

But I think it can be possible, really hard, and overtuned all at the same time

#

If anything I'm disappointed how quickly Nymue died

uneven mason
#

Yeah

lusty grotto
#

dont think its overtuned

#

well not in the sense the word gets thrown out

uneven mason
#

Nymue needed the 20% health they too from tindral

lusty grotto
#

can we talk about

#

nymue is a nice fight

#

but fuck green on green on green

#

speaking of which FUCKING SMOLDERON

pallid quiver
uneven mason
#

Can we talk about the indirect sr nerf

winged slate
#

That fight taught me that I am, in fact, colorblind

uneven mason
#

Light purple and pink on bright white?

lusty grotto
#

what indirect sr nerf

winged slate
#

It was all purples and I actually couldn't see the purple orbs

#

At all

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

oh lol

#

at least we got ozumat 🙂

uneven mason
#

Yeah

winged slate
#

The third boss of WCM is mega reflectable still

pallid quiver
#

I like the indicators for fights fitting the theme of the fight and having different appearances and all instead of like, FF14's blatant targetting mechanic type indicators, but I don't like when you can't see them for shit

lusty grotto
#

and lord waycrest of course

waxen frigate
winged slate
#

The wasting strike or whatever

lusty grotto
#

wym i like my giga damage srs

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

just wait

winged slate
#

Ozumat you just step out of melee and reflect the ranged hit?

lusty grotto
#

2pc with reflecting is gonna be nuts for us

#

yes

pallid quiver
#

as long as he's not casting anything else

winged slate
#

What's the "cool up" change they made?

pallid quiver
#

Since those will take prio

winged slate
#

It made no sense when I read it

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

lmao the BM

waxen frigate
#

Floorge

toxic pewter
pastel sleet
#

Is that a buffed touch of death?

uneven mason
winged slate
#

They said something about an 8 second "cool up" on the ozumat cast

uneven mason
#

They need to have the dude writing the patch notes retake sophomore English

winged slate
#

I saw that and was like "I have no clue what that means"

toxic pewter
#

i guess that means 8 sec until it starts casting foul bolt

#

or wat does it even mean

#

lol

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

its the opposite of hotdown sillygooses sillygeese

uneven mason
#

Yeah maybe it waits 8s so someone doesn't just get fucked on pull

lusty grotto
#

yeah that sounds like it

winged slate
#

I'm assuming it means you need to be out of melee for 8 seconds before he starts getting angy?

uneven mason
#

Or so we can't run in with sr up and slap him

lusty grotto
#

i mean on my first run

#

charge in get insta nuked happened and then i remembered to check sense's sheet lol

uneven mason
#

I got fucked for 600k by something on my first tot

lusty grotto
#

yea

winged slate
#

Oh maybe that's why whenever I pull ozumat I'm 0 hp

lusty grotto
#

that was on day 1 though

uneven mason
#

Yeah

lusty grotto
#

he instantly sent it

toxic pewter
#

lmao

lusty grotto
#

you had to charge with SR up, or just leap in

winged slate
#

Does the 8 second thing mean that we won't be able to step out to get a cheeky SR?

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

nah

lusty grotto
#

i doubt it

#

it says initial after all

uneven mason
#

I mean they sa what we did in s1

lusty grotto
#

they are addressing the pull

toxic pewter
#

this is like a 'fetch' moment from mean girls

winged slate
#

Ah you think it's just on the pull

uneven mason
#

With the lightning boss

lusty grotto
#

right, the stepping out wont change

uneven mason
#

Was big satisfying

winged slate
#

That would be sikh

lusty grotto
#

and if it doesnt it really doesnt mean much, you just dont instanly SR and patiently wait 🙂

winged slate
#

Well it means more downtime

#

But not a huge deal

uneven mason
#

Because on tyrannical this week he'd be just flat murdering people as they walk in

lusty grotto
#

downtime is worth for a million damage reflect

#

on tyrannical

winged slate
#

But what if you could have a million damage reflect and not stand around with your dick in your hands

#

Have your cake and eat it, too

lusty grotto
#

well we cant have NL again

#

sadly 🙂

uneven mason
#

Haa

winged slate
#

Maybe seeing rezan eat more players will make up for it

#

He's so slow, but I swear he eats someone in 80% of my runs

toxic pewter
#

on ozumat wat r u guys saying to reflect exactly

#

is it the thing he casts if u run out of melee range

jagged pier
#

he casts at the tank

#

if your out of melee

General Purpose M+ Build:
To get Spellblock there is no easy choice to make but you drop Bloodsurge, its the least impactful talent to drop for it.
If you want to use Thunderlord, you switch off of Show of Force. Its by far the best point to drop for it.

Raid Build
To get Spellblock drop probably Unnerving Focus or Impenetrable Wall.
You can also opt to talent out of Enduring Defenses if the fight allows it. You still get very high block uptime without it, just not 100%.
