In details you should see the position of rend and TC flip but thats it

hollow flower
#

Is there a good weak Aura for the new Set?

lusty grotto
blazing condor
#

had to remove my age old filter of Rend showing on my threatplates

#

so now it shows there again

charred ivy
#

whydo u need track trhe 4 set? i thought it kinda just happen auto 😮

hollow flower
#

Are you waiting to apply rend to consume it or is it not worth the global

hollow flower
lusty grotto
#

its an optimization

#

you consume bleeds so you need to reapply it

charred ivy
#

aha hmm. i guess ill try to be more pro also xD

lusty grotto
#

with 4pc, TC resets when you use an SS with fetid so you can instantly reapply it

#

with 2pc only it can be a bit different though

#

cause tc wont always be up

#

so prio wont change there

charred ivy
#

aha kk .

#

i also had a spell reflect tracker for S2. any1 know if theres an updated version? also was nice if dps so could see if u are targeted

lusty grotto
#

i personally dont use a reflect wa

#

but ive seen one linked around, so im sure it exists

vocal nimbus
#

I dont use it either tho

lusty grotto
#

that one isnt updated

#

marok hasnt been updating his WAs in a while

vocal nimbus
#

It aint too hard to see with the naked eye when you should sr to be honest

lusty grotto
#

right

vocal nimbus
#

If you have gone through the spreadsheet that is

lusty grotto
#

not a lot of people play like that though

#

so its good for them to have something

opaque quest
#

Pretty sure we got 1% of ppl doing research

charred ivy
#

i think its abit hard if u r dps with trash , and its random target tbh

opaque quest
#

70% importing a build from wowhead

#

And the other 30% just winging it depleting +2 keys

vocal nimbus
#

95% of the time if you sr randomly at packs you get value out of it haha

lusty grotto
#

xeervor if you search the channel, im sure youll find the link to the one that keeps being posted here

pallid quiver
#

I think they're more referring to it being useful when DPS, which is honestly probably the best use case for it I'd guess

lusty grotto
#

just type in:#protection sr wa or something like that in the search bar

charred ivy
lusty grotto
#

there you go

charred ivy
#

ppl talk alot in 4 days xDD

opaque quest
#

Make sure to couple SR with a macro /S or /Yell Spell reflecting!

blazing condor
#

the fact that people cant understand spell reflect

#

even on voice chat with my premades

#

"i will reflect first dont interrupt"

#

"oops:D"

sick sentinel
#

facsbook ad.....

opaque quest
#

Why do you have Facebook yogi

#

Its for 65+ i doubt youre that old

sick sentinel
#

i had face book before it was cool

#

because, i have it because, 1 facebook market place is like a garage sale i can browse without leaving bed and blanket

opaque quest
#

Thats fair., We have dedicated website for that

sick sentinel
#

and 2, to talk to boomers that arent within stone throw distance of me

sick sentinel
#

like parents, to tell me my grandma died other day

opaque quest
#

oh

#

My condolences

sick sentinel
#

im just not a huge fan of doing voip or phone if i dont have to

opaque quest
#

Me neither. Apart from discord with friends i hate talking to ppl

sick sentinel
#

makes everything clear, but makes thing person to person and introduces wrong personal instead of goal oriented emotion or code or somethin

opaque quest
#

Just thought some messenger only app would be easier than facebook

sick sentinel
#

i just, i would rather unless its randoms play without voice

#

for the most part.. its hard to put in the correct words

opaque quest
#

Difference between intro/extrovert right here i guess

#

na i get it

#

I have friends that would rather die than join me and my other buddies in discord

sick sentinel
#

i like to be extroverted too, its just very taxing

opaque quest
sick sentinel
#

like, i wouldnt need someone doing call outs for me on 20 wcm, but i might on dht

#

and thats when id want voip

opaque quest
#

Just grow a giant brain and memorize everything

sick sentinel
#

with frienda

opaque quest
#

I pretty much only play with @flat stratus but hes a sweat like me. If one of us messes up we just call each other ret ard

sick sentinel
#

ill leave that shit to asmon, memorizing which boss difficulty normal or heroic drops the blue belt and the red belt variants lmao

#

seems like a huge waste of brain space to remember those tiny little details

opaque quest
#

I tend to hit the dungeon journal and read the short versions for each role before dungeons when im not sure on bosses

#

Until i memorized them

#

Everything else is just hold W

sick sentinel
#

i did lfr wing 1 and 2 on warrior, that went very well, then did wing 2 on paladin dk for the hearth, didnt get it 3 times, oh well

#

at least i got 3 rats i can send in

opaque quest
#

I havent seen the Hearth in action yet. Worth it? I got like 10 rats and a roommate that would pilot them

forest fern
#

Quick question, is spell block effective against larodar’s charge?

exotic summit
#

morning everyone, I have a coffee time dilema, is 2p S3 better than 4pS2 (447) , I mean does it worthe the ilvl increase ?

exotic summit
forest fern
#

It’s both according to the spell journal just didn’t know if it works against the spell portion

exotic summit
#

testing is in order then 😄

#

4 shadowfrost shards this week

#

aint no way

sick sentinel
#

i dunno how the hell it happned but i ran an 8 wcm and a 12, was 2 of the keys i ran this week, and i ran the 12 faster than i ran the 8 lol

#

12 was 14m59s and then the 8 was like 16 xx

blazing condor
#

probably better people in the 12

#

most "good" ppl arent gonna settle for an 8

bleak breach
#

Another week without Gholak dropping sad

#

Lost a tier piece on a 100roll too

blazing condor
#

thats rough

sick sentinel
#

reason im spamming 8's is cuz they fill the vault with hero drops

light dune
#

2 axes dropped today on nm

#

letsgoo

sick sentinel
#

they give hero 1/8

bleak breach
#

Sad

#

Why you do this

sick sentinel
#

why would i do a 17 for the same vault gear result

#

just im spending less crets

blazing condor
#

how bout you do 20s

#

and get the good gear

sick sentinel
#

if i do a 20, or 8 x 18's, ill start raging, burn out, and quit lol.

#

its not i cant do 1 or 2 or 4 18s or 20's, i just know the path it's going to send me down

opaque quest
#

I have done zero keys this season and im alreaddy burnt out

jagged pier
#

Same

uneven mason
#

I've done 8 keys this season

#

and I have literally nothing todo at work today

#

because I'm in Canada land, and all my clients are US

#

So I think I'll try and knockout the next 8

#

maybe get KSM today

#

and be done with the season

glass rune
#

How are you guys dealing with last boss DHT on higher keys?

#

I can't for the life of me seem to avoid it getting stacks.

#

😫

oblique radish

i reached 2650 in s1 and quit the game til this patch

glass rune

The stacks he gets from swirlies.

uneven mason
glass rune
#

That increases dmg done

oblique radish
#

I have more problems with Cone from last boss on Rise

uneven mason
#

It's basically leap as far out as you can

oblique radish
#

yeah but does the Leap reset before next cone?

blazing condor
#

nope

#

u can do every other

#

with bounding stride talen't

oblique radish
#

ahh samrt

#

What should i remove instead of Bounding Stride?

blazing condor
#

pain and gain / honed reflexes

#

one of those dont remember

#

at least thats what ive done 🤷‍♂️

oblique radish
#

cool

#

ill try without pain n gain

#

its not that big

restive scroll

It's very hard to leap during its cast

#

Hi all, a little question. It's viable to play prot 4 farm myth, and use the same gear for doing raid with guild? Without waste weeks to do the equip for both..

uneven mason
#

I'm going to need some clarification

#

Are you asking if you need different gear for raid or m+

#

The answer is no, gear is gear, just equip highest ilvl

#

Barring tier

#

TFW I'm only pulling 90-95 parses because the prot paladin insists on being first tank so I'm twiddling my thumbs until the tank swap so I don't rip

#

Oh well only normal

sick sentinel
#

How hard is prot to learn?

#

Getting sick of getting rejected in LFG for 20 mins as fury

#

not very, hit thunderclap and shield slam over and over and over, keep shield block up and point shield to enemy, taunt/kick/reflect when needed

Sure it is, just change your lootspec to target drops if you want it’ll be totally fine

restive scroll
#

Tldr, the more hast you have the less it does

blazing condor
#

crazy how hard nymue is for pugs

#

seems to be a big wall

#

for whatever reason

hollow flower
#

@restive scroll we still Stack haste until 7100 right?

opaque quest
restive scroll
#

No idea, I'm doing weird stuff apparently.
I do at least, because it's more fun IMO, but maybe it's not good

opaque quest
#

I have 6k haste and use a crit mastery ring now cause robot said 500 dps +

restive scroll
#

to be fair, technically hast is not (was not?) our best dps stat, it is (was?) crit.
Robot doesn't sim survivability AFAIK

unkempt bolt

When should I swap out my t30 set? Go 2-2 or wait for 4pc?

2P is super strong, I'd break it asap

blazing condor
dull sleet
restive scroll
unkempt bolt
restive scroll
#

but I don't look too much at discord anyway, nor guides

#

I do my own bad build

blazing condor
#

its also the fact that playing well = high damage = high surv

hollow flower
#

Dont Take 4p If you gain less than 26 iLvl

restive scroll
#

(mostly)

restive scroll
#

I did two warriors, one with low hast (3k) with whatever I looted, one with 7k1 hast

#

It was waaaaaaay more painful on the low hast warrior

dull sleet
#

Top warriors still sim for dmg if you follow their streams for example, they just wear cheat death

restive scroll
hollow flower
#

I usually get as much haste as possible and Then damage

hollow flower
#

Even tho this Season will be different with me being able to reach 7k1 haste

restive scroll
#

Simming gives data, you just take them into account, that's it

dull sleet
# restive scroll to be fair, technically hast is not (was not?) our best dps stat, it is (was?) c...

But still it Sims haste as the highest dps stat until you reach a certain area, so that's all I wanted to point out. After that it's often crit bc it gives you more dmg than Vers. And your argument of wanting to do 26+ was the reason why I stated that the highest ranked prot warriors usually still follow the Sim for dmg and don't take Vers just because they think it's better even though they have different data from the robot

restive scroll
#

alright !

#

I played with as low vers as I could previous season

#

like maybe 5%

dull sleet
#

As blood I feel like you actually need it because 8% less dmg intake can mean you can take a hit that would just one shot you otherwise lol

# glass rune The stacks he gets from swirlies.

Yeah I was having this problem too. It used to be you could pull him against the edge of the room and there wouldn't really be any stacks spawning there but it doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

uneven mason

That's exactly what I said

arctic pawn
#

Spell reflect + Interviene works?

median tulip
#

I'm finding that the Shield Slam reset sniper macro can be a hinderance with regards to the set bonus; anyone else feeling the same way?

glass rune
median tulip
#

It's in the pins; it's just a macro that casts Shield Slam directly after IP to snipe resets

queen hemlock
#

abit of a noob on tanks

#

but things like last stand and shield wall in raids

#

do i cast them on tank busters or is it generally used as a panic button

#

i understand in m+ is used when you do extremly big pulls

winged slate
#

Press DR before big dam or else you're wasting it

#

Exactly when that is depends on the fight

queen hemlock
#

what about last stand, when do i wish to use it

#

not exactly mitigation, not exactly sure when to use it

grizzled nova
queen hemlock
cerulean tusk
#

When you need HP and quick. I often use LS in rotation with other defencives to keep safe. As making it a smooth experience for my healer, have them complaining less

median tulip
queen hemlock
grizzled nova
#

Yeh, it's an experience and practice thing.

#

In raid you should have a definite plan for when and where you're sending defensives.

median tulip
#

I always try to use Last Stand ahead of Impending Victory (and Bitter Immunity, if talented) because LS increases your max HP, which make the healing from those 2 abilities higher

queen hemlock
#

but is there a time where i use it? as it seems like a thing where if i dont mitigate the damage im just gonna vanish

#

or on cd to help healers conserve mana

cerulean tusk
#

I am more a "this pack hurts, if 60% hp, press LS" kind of guy

grizzled nova
winged slate
#

I generally think last stand is kinda bad in raid but if you're getting low it's gonna give you more HP so that's fine

cerulean tusk
#

Once you done a dung/raid a few times, you will just know what is needed when

grizzled nova
#

Generally speaking this raid is very friendly to prot war - most of the tank damage is physical and the pain points dots that aren't can be spell blocked.

median tulip
#

In M+ I send it on dangerous pulls, sure. But in Raid I have a plan for when to use it on a given boss. Some M+ bosses I do as well - like Last Standing the trees grab in DHT

queen hemlock
#

ah

#

alright on that thanks for the help

#

have been rather confused on when and how to use it that i never bothered casting it

#

just throw up all other mitigations in line with tank busters as i kinda always thing that shield wall is a panic button

winged slate
#

If you have old tier then you can basically spam last stand

median tulip
#

In Season 3 it's back to being purely defensive

cerulean tusk
#

I prefer it just being a defensive, ngl. I like dtools in my box

winged slate
#

Some tools are better than others

queen hemlock
#

just came back from season 4 of shadowlands here to practice again

cerulean tusk

You will be back to speed in no time

that gnarlroot

Yeah Gnarlroot is like the “Mohammed” for giant tree creature ancient things

grizzled nova
#

different timeline

blazing condor

#

dont see why hed be on draenor even if its another timeline

#

i believe in the mohammed theory

mental cargo
#

anyone have a good resource for spell reflect targets?

toxic pewter
median tulip
blazing condor
#

havent done everbloom since wod

#

any specific way to do 2nd boss

#

just nuke caster and go out with charge? alternate or stay on same dude?

#

whats the meta

echo egret
#

Assign 1 ranged to interrupt the heal
All focus the other caster 1st
Move out with charge

#

Stack melee boss on the caster boss you’re nuking and cleave

median tulip
#

I don't believe the ground effect puddles stack, and there's no initial damage hit from them, so the DPS can (I think) overlap them

pale karma
#

Does stacking haste have diminishing returns at some point?

median tulip
#

Actually it's less than that, but that's the point at which iit actually matters

pale karma
#

I'm at 6279 atm (+36.24%)

pallid quiver
#

I'm settling on just being dead if he gets pulled tbh

blazing condor
#

he does roots on you

#

and some other shit

pale karma
#

He roots everyone and then silences them.

pallid quiver
#

damn that's worse than just getting murdered

pale karma
#

Roots need to be killed to free yourself but they have so much HP that they don't die before the silence kicks in

median tulip
#

And it's a proper supress silence too, not just a "you can't use shouts, lol" silence

pale karma
#

Pretty much a wipe

median tulip
#

He's basically a MDT trap, because his "efficiency" in terms of count per hit point is really high, but the fact that you pretty much have to pull him solo and he has nasty abilities makes hiim way worse that a crude metric would indicate

pallid quiver
#

I'm always mega sketched by anything that's very count efficient that is easily avoidable and alone

gusty shore
#

Hey, I am about to craft a shield. Not sure if i wanna go for Shield of the Hearth. Anyone got numbers on that one? Is it worth it or better go with the molten defender

with Crit/Haste on it

Isnt Haste Vers prio?

uneven mason

It requires a bit more gameplay than HR

How accurate is pawn

pallid quiver
#

I'm going to assume zero accurates since I don't even remember what it does

solemn current
#

So obviously these ooze's on Ozumat in TotT can be knocked back by certain spammable abilities (priest holy nova and hunter multi shot for example). Anyone know a good list of abilities that would work so I can better communicate with pugs on how to deal with them?

glass rune
#

Blade Flurry.

#

It's actually silly

#

IF you're taking Outlaw rogues, that is, ofc.

solemn current
#

So rogue, hunter, priest is covered. Anyone got anything else lol?

#

Also yea wierd how that works. I imagine whirlwind would work too if I was dpsing no? Possible to maybe just plant the boss and angle myself for revenge spam with some pooled rage or does revenge not work?

uneven mason
finite bolt
#

do dimnsisnign returns get effected if your have a talent tht gives the stat?

#

cnt find any info about it

uneven mason
# summer pelican How accurate is pawn

Bigger answer - because pawn triggers me

  1. We don't worry about stat weights and have not in like, over a decade

  2. It was never accurate because it relied on resimming after every adjustment

uneven mason
#

Not the final value

uneven mason
#

Diminishing returns are not affected by talents

#

DR only affects "haste rating" not flat values

median tulip
#

So Into the Fray, Enduring Alacrity, Focused Vigor etc do NOT impact DR

pastel sleet
#

since ignore pain has a 90% chance to proc the 2pc, is ignorepain now more damage per rage spent than revenge? how do i effectively use the new tier set? is it an equip and forget or does it change gameplay?

blazing condor
#

its kind of an equip and forget - but you gotta make sure you reapply your Rends through TC cus they get eaten so often

#

and since TC gets reset with 4p so often you gotta make sure you press that when you can

#

but it doesnt change the way you play in any drastic way

#

just gotta be more mindful

silent vessel
#

i find myself tabbing more

young wasp
#

Boys, how useful is Voice of the Fallen Star compared to just ilvl upgrade cloak? What's even the cool down on the cape's effect.

silent vessel
#

isnt that the "rare" cloak?

young wasp
#

1900 Haste is good but only for 8 seconds

silent vessel
#

its not useful, take your itemlvl cloak

blazing condor
#

sark cloak isnt worth

young wasp
#

Heard chef, saying 700 dps increase

#

to get rid of it, so dont doubt it

olive radish
#

what prioty stats m+
cause i feel haste vers not strong as mastery,

silent vessel
stark wraith
young wasp
#

Technically if you have spell block on does that apply?

sick sentinel
#

this will solve your confusions about stats, that and "convert ratings" / "true stat values" i thought tsv was this one but

olive radish
#

then i must replace spec Deep wound than ignore pain

cinder storm
#

Haste crit

olive radish
#

mastery match best with ignore pain i guess or am i wrong

what

Wat

uneven mason
olive radish

and how much i need haste , and yeah its rly great

uneven mason

Ilvl Beats stats

olive radish
#

omg

#

ok Oldgamer

tell me what to choose

cinder storm

Then go haste crit

#

it not issue for me go high key. but i want to offensive xD

mental cargo
olive radish
#

so i can regular

#

i do kekw dmg

silent vessel
#

huh

sick sentinel
#

str / stam >>> haste > crit=/=vers > mastery >> leech/avoidance indestructible

cinder storm
#

Vers is the "safe" stat people will tell you to go with and mastery is not bad

silent vessel
#

vers is not the best stat to go

#

it depends

uneven mason
#

Vers has a high budget cost

sick sentinel
#

pugs like if you take versa cuz all they read is "you take less dmg"

#

and your the tank! so its your job to take less dmg! accordin to them

uneven mason
#

But seriously just wear your highest ilvl

#

And don't think

hollow sun

olive radish
#

honestly

uneven mason
#

Yeah

damn

Signet dropped in LFR, as well as a 2H wep.

i rolled a 100 on the wep and lost the signet. feels bad

Like, you're considering individual abilities and stats in a vacuum

olive radish
silent vessel
#

i see

olive radish

i went to 6/9 hc raid

uneven mason

They all interact with eachother, vers looking good in the tooltips is a newb trap

feel no pain

olive radish
#

example volo

#

no pain

it's just not magically massively better than others

it's just good

i go full crit haste

pallid quiver
#

like all stats

olive radish
#

if i die once in dungeon

#

i come back to ur house and terminate -.-

uneven mason
pallid quiver
#

If you go full crit haste, you'll actually be going worse

cinder storm
#

Nah, just blame dps and log off

uneven mason
olive radish
#

i knew he troll xd

silent vessel
#

your versa rating wont make the difference between wiping and living

pallid quiver
#

It's not trolling; as you get more of a stat, it's less beneficial to get more of it

#

Going from 50 to 60 rating is a 20% increase, while going from 1 to 2 rating is a 100% increase

uneven mason
#

They all boost eachother, stats have a bit of a feedback loop

toxic pewter
#

Stats don’t matter just play the game and try to get loot

olive radish
olive radish
#

thats best i have crit haste

pallid quiver
#

We prefer crit haste as our main two on average, but you need vers and mastery

olive radish
#

even carrying ring from season 2

pallid quiver
#

It's why we tell people to sim

olive radish
#

kekw

toxic pewter
#

Just go press your buttons

pallid quiver
#

because it's a lotta math

olive radish
#

i know how to sim but not as tank or ?

#

i heard not possible lol

pallid quiver
#

Same as DPS

toxic pewter
#

Doesn’t matter

pallid quiver
#

You can't sim for defensiveness is what it means

olive radish
#

more dmg better surviv or ?

#

how this shit works -.-

Defensively, all secondaries are pretty much the same

More DMG less time tanking dander

so just having stats fits the defensive part of the bucket

Why you keep posting that image

pallid quiver
#

How tanky and defensive you are depends a lot on fight damage breakdowns and profiles; Warrior is one of the best tanks around if the damage profile is all blockable damage with a magic nuke every about 30 seconds due to spell reflect, for example

stats

but we become a lot worse if it's just constant rot magic damage

Stats and stat discussions are for weak individuals. A true leader does not even discuss such low level topics

Dude doesn’t have a clue what’s going on

sick sentinel
#

oh, i got that stream deck

#

im not sure how well it works or if

#

but i cant see why not

olive radish
#

btw i 1 more stupid question

for example. if i have rings. 1 ring with 441 ilvl has 850 crit 400 haste.
And other 467 ilvl with stats different stats but not crit haste just haste mastery maybe. what would u go for ?.

#

i know stamina 441 not high

toxic pewter
#

None of that matters

olive radish
#

but ilvl doesnt scale anything

#

yeah

#

only gears with strg matter

#

ilvl

toxic pewter
#

Just go press buttons

sick sentinel
#

neck rings and trinket you get MORE value out of having the right stats, but mostly ilvl

#

str on trinkets is ideal

olive radish
sick sentinel
#

nome is the human calculator here, he knows everything about pwar

chilly brook
#

Ilvl scales the amount of stats on an item in general

#

All prots stats are so close together just run the highest ilvl

#

More stats generally is better

#

And 441 to 467 is definitely enough of a jump to just run ilvl even in rings

#

Y’all focus too much on “I gotta have the right stats”

#

Guys i'm seeing a lot of people crafting lariat, It is better than double shadowflame?

#

Sorry for interfiering on your conversation haha

marble cipher
#

afaik Lariat only scales well when you have all sockets, which often isn't the case this early in a new season when still replacing gear and not taking sockets out of vault
But, I can be mistaken obviously, haven't simmed anything at all

trim bay
#

You can bang 3 sockets on any neck

#

Ah item

marble cipher
#

There's more sockets in the game than those on the neck though, or, does Lariat not scale with those anymore?

vivid jay
#

I know, but top1 RIO is using It RN

trim bay
#

Ohhhh yea nah I'm dumb

pallid quiver
#

we're back to the top io player use it therefore it's good developments

Yea top rio player probably fucks his mum

Potentially

vivid jay
#

Don't missunderstood me, idc of his items, just got my attention haha

#

I just wanted to know if is or is going to be a good crafted item again

pallid quiver
# vivid jay I know, but top1 RIO is using It RN

It's objectively worse without sockets, but a lot of people still hype it up. He could be using it to patch bad luck, he could be using it because he heard some friend say it was good trust me bro. He could be using it because he likes the icon for all I know. Ultimately, it's not as good as Shadowflame overall, especially without sockets

#

but all embells are of quite minor value now as long as you have one

#

And they already weren't massive

vivid jay
#

Seems Fair, i Will stick to double shadowflame probably then

Orbs was only like 50% of our wipes, 1 was mine taking a 900k unmitigated dragon breath, a couple because the healer ate it twice in P2 during the dodge sequence

And of course we used all our brezzes on the DH who kept eating frontals with momentum

chilly brook

Can outrange it

jagged gust
#

Yeah the leap is what I was practicing, but I'm still learning where to go and how to get back to not split oour party too hard

chilly brook
#

Shield wall/block the ones you can’t

#

Just straight back

#

And then charge back in when the breath is over

jagged gust
#

Was ending up having orbs drop in bad locations, then the boss would be in one spot, the orb in another and the healer pulling hairs trying to be in range of everyone

#

So on me overall

but we all inted

the real hard part of outranging breath is having the DPS stand not in front of the boss

Subcreation is basically a popularity contest

My favorite is when the tank decides to tell you 20 minutes into the run to use a pot for a skip

Like hey wouldn’t that have been valuable to let me know before the key started so I could actually have an invis pot?

Or like 3 minutes ago when I used a combat pot?

go def stance

waxen orbit
# woven torrent also what key level do u start using defensive stance usually?

The right answer? With a good healer, most of the time, probably won’t need it above 470. But, you should honestly be rotating in and out based on damage profile of packs/bosses to let your healer do a lot of damage, as long as you’re not going into d-stance during a heavy burst where you could crit and you’re sacrificing more than just 5% damage.

Cuz I. Also catalyzed some pants

cus for sure pug healers are deadge

I'm well aware but saying at 22's you need to sit in d stance is a pretty reductional way

Lashers in EB if you’re pulling with other things

With pug healers I’d honestly say sit d stance all of the second room of Rise for example

grim pilot

yeah but that's not strictly key level related

lusty grotto
#

nobody is saying you should sit in dstance

if you spell block first breath + add, will it last through the 2nd?

#

you can shield charge it for sure, but kind of a waste

#

just SR every grip, wall every other one, make sure you're walling when the healer isnt using a personal on you

#

and of course dstance

#

To be fair I've only done it on +19, not mega high yet
