grim pilot
#

for some reasons rank 1 is always the most expensive one

lusty grotto
#

its not always been that way

grim pilot
#

or very close to being the most expensive

lusty grotto
#

there was a period between bfa and sl where dps trinkets dropped for tank loots spec

#

they specifically made that change back then

median tulip
#

I have Sophic on mine because fuck buying a 10k Wafting for a weapon I'll replace as soon as I see a Mythic track one

lusty grotto
#

and then they doubled back for some reason

sick sentinel
#

the rank 2 was 1k

#

so i got that i nstead

median tulip
#

Huh. TIL. I had a break between BfA and SL.

sick sentinel
#

dht route never really changes right

#

just size of pulls depending on key, bigger for 20

raw parcel
#

Dunno if this one has been asked...

When the new 2 set eats our bleeds, does the eaten deep wounds damage count for Fueled by Violence?

sick sentinel
#

far as i was aware fbv was bugged all of df and for god only knows how long really

#

i think?

lusty grotto
#

no

sick sentinel
#

well, how long has fbv been bugged df 10.0?

lusty grotto
#

fbv hasnt been bugged

#

youre thinking of BV

raw parcel
#

I think it was BV that was bugged.

sick sentinel
#

cuz i remember we never ever at any point took it someone said it doesnt work or doesnt work right

raw parcel
#

BV was bugged, not sure if it still is, and we still are recommended to take it.

chilly brook
#

but not to the point of BV

sick sentinel
#

well, im running bv

raw parcel
#

Got it, thanks. So... the time of FBV has not yet come.

lusty grotto
#

yeah i havent swapped out of bv since s1 either

median tulip
warm plinth
#

Okay two things

#

First, it's BrV you fuckin savages

lusty grotto
#

sorry, yes BrV

sick sentinel
warm plinth
#

second, the difference between them is insignificant. You can run either of them

#

which is also said in the pins

sick sentinel
#

then they changed it so you cant do that any more

raw parcel
#

We are WARRIORS, not scholars.

sick sentinel
#

so, like, they do whatever they want and som skips u can do and some u can and eve then u have to know it exists and how to perform it

#

have to know if its invis or rebirth or wtf

blazing condor
#

been wiping a bit in raid so i say to the healer "when do you want me to rally so it suites you best?"

#

"whats rally?"

warm plinth
#

Eh, most skips they fix either weren't worth it enough to do anyway or players will do it another way. e.g. the hallway skip in HoI

raw parcel
#

Well after the nerf, that's a fair question xD. What even is rally, now? Granted, I just play in keys. Feels like it should be one of those 'more effective outside a raid' type abilities.

sick sentinel
#

RSA Spell Announcer

#

you can set it to send a message either when it starts or ends the buff

#

or both

sleek current
median tulip
lusty grotto
#

the nerf doesnt matter, its still a raid defensive

sick sentinel
#

i sohuld start taking intervene instead

lusty grotto
#

you still use it and guilds coordinate it so

sick sentinel
#

intervene better

warm plinth
#

I don't think you ever used it by itself anyway did you? It was in combination with other things

sleek current
#

In all seriousness, I use it all the time. When we have 7/8 stacks of bursting, it's the difference between life and death sometimes, sometimes it's just enough to save someone that's going to die other than that I press it when my RL tells me too.

I still hate it though

lusty grotto
#

not using rally, and/or not knowing what rally is as a healer, is just straight up trolling

sick sentinel
#

like, rally just doesn't have a good place any more after the nerf

lusty grotto
#

what

sick sentinel
#

not in keys at least barelyt does anyting any more

sleek current
#

It does. It's still 10% extra health that could save the entire raid during a one shot.

lusty grotto
#

horrible yogi take

vivid orchid
#

weird take

lusty grotto
#

absolutely terribly bad take

median tulip
#

Rallying Cry is still useful even though it's been nerfed.

cinder storm
#

Bad yogi

sick sentinel
#

before the nerf it was good, im not saying un-nerf it

#

im just saying i could miss it now that its not as huge

cerulean tusk
#

It is still good, what you brewing Yogi?

median tulip
#

If nothing else it makes Impending Victory better

sleek current
#

Swap it with Bitter Immunity. keks

sick sentinel
#

shame intervene doesnt reduce dmg any more

#

at least its literal first node connected to dstance our starter talent

sleek current
#

When did it reduce damage?

sick sentinel
#

shadow lands for positive

#

cuz ppl were using it in high keys to save mages from bullshit

sleek current
#

As a tier set thing?

sick sentinel
#

this im positive on

toxic pewter
#

It’s a pvp talent now

#

Safeguard

soft flower
#

it was a conduit thing giving the reduction

sleek current
#

Oooh

sick sentinel
#

oh right

#

hey, conduits wasn't the completely worstt thing ever

toxic pewter
#

Yah conduits were cool

sick sentinel
#

asmon way over bitched about the amount of conduit energy you have and its limited or some crap he got mad about it like 10 times and it was patently false information basically, i enver once ran into issues with it.

sleek current
#

All I remember is using it on CD in Shadowlands for reprisal

toxic pewter
#

I thought covenants were cool personally

sick sentinel
#

i like the boat missions, some times, if they are not mandatory, i like islands and torghast, if i was more a sweat i would like mage tower

#

i just don't want them to be mandatory or drop some currency or item that im " okay wtf was that thing i just looted?"

lusty grotto
#

safeguard used to be a talent too

#

before conduits

sick sentinel
#

bfa prot warrior was dark times

sleek current
#

What do you mean?

#

Warrior was slapping

sick sentinel
#

no big taunt, manual devestate, thank god we hae itf bolster

lusty grotto
#

bad yogi take

#

bfa warrior was meta, except in s1

sick sentinel
#

you want to go back to manual devestate and 1 taunt?

lusty grotto
#

and even then we parsed so incredibly high on uldir's zul

sick sentinel
#

st taunt

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter

sleek current
#

Vigilance activate - Spam ST Taunt

lusty grotto
#

it was anything but dark times

sleek current
#

Those were the days

lusty grotto
#

literally the opposite of dark times

drifting river
#

is anyone else having a hard time with adds on Gnarlroot?

#

I'm getting shafted by them

sleek current
#

What difficulty?

drifting river
#

mythic

sleek current
#

Not tried it yet, I'll let you know Monday

sick sentinel
#

i for one do not miss single target only taunting and devestate weaving

drifting river
#

killed it twice now and it's been absolutely slaughter

sleek current
#

To be honest, I probably won't even experience it. My Co-Tank is a VDH so chance of me pulling the aggro is low. 😂

drifting river
#

either it's that I got all adds on me and the bleed just shreds me or I'm doing something fundamentally wrong

sick sentinel
#

i am probablyt the correct amount of stupid to play tank dh

#

i feel like that is a stupid is required class

#

u have to be dumb to be good at it

toxic pewter
#

Haven’t done mythic yet I don’t have a guild

lusty grotto
#

do you have logs?

#

cause its probably the bleed

#

thats kind of about it for adds

#

just dwarf/caut

#

bop/cancelaura

#

same as any bleed in the game

drifting river
#

I don't know how I died the first time. I checked the logs and didn't taunt there

#

second time was adds

lusty grotto
#

you didnt have spell block up

#

is how you died the first time

#

tainted barrage is fully blockable

drifting river
#

I wasn't supposed to have the boss though

lusty grotto
#

phys damage is blockable

#

magic portion is spell blockable

drifting river
#

I get that, but I wasn't supposed to be tanking the boss

#

I got it twice already

grim pilot
#

There is a taunt at 48 seconds, maybe that's that?

#

Or did u get it later on, just before the hit

drifting river
#

I died at 1:06 though

grim pilot
#

Then I assume you just over-aggroed other tank

drifting river
#

mid pull?

grim pilot
#

Yup

drifting river
#

like a minute into the fight

lusty grotto
#

the bleed didnt do shit

#

you just didnt get healed

drifting river
#

so it wasn't my fault?

#

I was turbo doubting my skills

grim pilot
#

You got almost 0 heals in 6 seconds

#

could've used def stance

#

But you should still get more than that healing

#

Since nothing else u had up

drifting river
#

what a relieve. thanks!

lusty grotto
#

your WA?

sleek current
#

Think of it as pressing a defensive rather than stance dancing

drifting river
lusty grotto
#

oh

limpid estuary
#

Is there any difference in our rotation with the new tier set?

I’m trying to prioritize doing IP > shieldslam > Thunderclap > IP > Shield Slam, ect. To get as many fervid procs as I can

#

Is this correct?

lusty grotto
#

ip should never be above ss

limpid estuary
#

I don’t mean that as a priority

lusty grotto
#

well you did say prioritize

limpid estuary
#

I more mean button pressing order. Ik IP is off the global cd

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt change much anyway

limpid estuary
#

Yeah I coulda worded that better

lusty grotto
#

aside from instantly reapplying rend with tc reset

#

and only with 4pc

#

not with 2pc

#

its a very minimal change

#

the playstyle remains the same

limpid estuary
#

Would you prio TC over shield slam to refresh bleeds?

#

Or very minimal difference between the 2

lusty grotto
#

on 4pc instant reset, with a fervid cooking, yes

#

otherwise no (with 2pc)

limpid estuary
#

👍

#

Appreciate the info

lusty grotto
#

outburst might be a little ackward

#

but i dont think you want to apply tc with it up even if youre going to outburst ss

#

thats the only case i can think of

limpid estuary
#

Yeah, figured outburst kinda takes a back seat

#

Or it would be pretty close so not worth worrying about

lusty grotto
#

thats the point, it doesnt take a back seat

#

you still prio ss outbursted

limpid estuary
#

Makes sense. Outburst is kinda hard to min max. I struggle with always using SS and will hit TC accidentally

lusty grotto
#

and you still prio tc outbursted which shouldnt be a problem with high target count

limpid estuary
#

I often hit IP right after I shield slam and it procs right before I TC

lusty grotto
#

careful

#

you dont want to rage starve yourself by doing something like that

#

you still want some rage for SB

limpid estuary
#

Yeah I always get SB up first unless I really need the IP

lusty grotto
#

theres no unless with SB

limpid estuary
#

Im just bad at outburst proc usage. Trying to get better

lusty grotto
#

you need to have it up

limpid estuary
#

Yeah unless I’m off of boss or something in raid

lusty grotto
#

no

#

theres no unless

#

30% damage on ss, you want it up ALL THE TIME

limpid estuary
#

Yeah your right

soft plume
#

fervid bite or w/e is from our tier set?

limpid estuary
#

Yes

soft plume
#

and i should spam IP for it?

#

okay i see, any time i spend rage theres a chance to get a proc

#

is there a WA to track this

lusty grotto
#

never spam IP

#

spamming IP is bad, dont get rage starved

warm plinth
#

You can track the proc but your TC button should glow so

#

It's a % chance to proc, not a fixed x rage spent = proc

limpid estuary
#

I heard 1 IP will proc it 80-90% of the time. Idk how accurate that is

warm plinth
#

No one reads the pins sadge

lusty grotto
#

🤷

warm plinth
limpid estuary
#

Ah, that’s where I heard that lol

#

90%

lusty grotto
#

right

#

you STILL dont spam IP

#

ip spamming is absolutely fucking bad

warm plinth
#

You would just lose the damage you gained if you spammed IP

#

because you're just starving yourself and it's thanksgiving and no one should starve today

lusty grotto
soft plume
#

so should i play around the fervid bite at all?

#

i didnt even realize it was a abuff until just now lul

lusty grotto
#

no

#

there's a really minor change i just discussed like 10 lines above

#

scroll up

#

thats about it

soft plume
#

does anyone that uses afenar WA do u have something to insert fervid bite buff into it

lusty grotto
#

i dont use afenar

#

but that helps for the incredibly minor change

soft plume
#

ty

lusty grotto
#

and it only applies to 4pc

#

not 2pc

soft plume
#

i have 4pc

jagged gust
#

I treat fervid bite like IP

#

I ignore it completely

soft plume
#

i only press IP when i wwanna rage dump for seeing red stacks i think im doing it right

bleak breach
#

Playstyle is basically the same, I just use IP slightly more then I used to. I don’t use revenge a lot now, just when I’ve got nothing going on and need a proc. Just try to have a TC before you proc fervid

#

Once you have 4pc you’ll barely need to rev at all as you get a free tc after fervid

soft plume
#

doesnt revenge do more dmg than tc

bleak breach
#

No

#

Way less

lusty grotto
#

revenge also doesnt generate rage

bleak breach
#

^

lusty grotto
#

which is why its 3rd last in the prio

bleak breach
#

Was literally halfway through typing that

soft plume
#

but u spend rage with revenge which leads to huge shield slams

lusty grotto
#

no

strange lintel
#

revenge when ip bar is capped and like theres nothing else to do or its free

lusty grotto
#

revenge is not raze

#

its not a high prio ability

jagged gust
#

Well you revenge when there's nothing else to press, easy as that

lusty grotto
#

you will use it even less now wwith 4pc

#

because you will have tc resets out of the ass

#

and with the amount of SS resets we already had...

teal swift
lusty grotto
#

theres absolutely no space for revenge, its very minimal at best

#

yes

#

capstone talent

strange lintel
#

yeah i dont even know why he mentioned that lol

lusty grotto
#

they spammed it in s2 cause of tier

teal swift
#

How do you apply aoe bleeds as pwar

jagged gust
#

tc

teal swift
#

My pwar is gonna be dusted off next week

lusty grotto
teal swift
#

Does tc apply deep wounds

lusty grotto
#

and because bear rerollers that come into prot now, seem to think revenge = raze

chilly brook
#

No but revenge does

lusty grotto
#

which is absolutely fucking wrong

soft plume
#

can i see ur logs sir so i can study

teal swift
#

Nim what is the priority chart for prot war

#

And is there a meaningful race choice I can make this patch?

lusty grotto
#

same as forever

jagged gust
#

rage spenders, all of them all at once

chilly brook
jagged gust
#

then revenge when everything else is on cd

Is thunderclap > ss in aoe

I'm reading the icy veins guide

And it lists shield slam >>>> tc for single tsrget

And tc > ss for aoe

#

I, just wanna stop being bad. Lmao

lusty grotto
#

yes?

jagged gust
#

It's an incredibly small consideration

#

You're going to be pressing whichever one you didn't after whichever one you did

This is a straight up nome question

I wore cheat death for heroic fyrakk last week and I wore it on first 4 mythic this week

Last week gnarlroot I wore it and having when I had 10 stacks of the debuff the ads popping out was 1 shotting me lol

#

This week I had 2p at the start of mythic and it wasn’t nearly as rough. got 4p on igira and now everything just tickles. It’s great

Still wore 476 cheat death but it didn’t proc so it felt bad lol

the fact that dark iron is barely a sidegrade to normal dwarf makes me think a new dwarf is worse

cinder nova
#

You think it's worth to upgrade my 1080 to a 3060? I was looking at a 4060 too since b they're similar price range.

lusty grotto
#

nah

#

also 4060s are benchmarked badly iirc

#

a 1080 is a solid card

cinder nova
#

Yeah but mine is like 6 years old

lusty grotto
#

40 series are just bad overpriced cards

#

doesnt matter if its 6 years old

cinder nova
#

I mean doesn't it, though? I've had it clocked up by like 5%the entire time

#

And it's old for a GPU

lusty grotto
#

older does not mean worse

#

especially when it comes to nvidia

#

especially now

#

3060 or 4060 pale in comparison to a 1080

#

wait for the 50 series

#

heavy copium that nvidia does pull the same bs they did with the 40 series

cinder nova
#

Really? I can barely get 60 fps in valdrakken

lusty grotto
#

thats not the gpu's fault

#

i guarantee you

#

wow is a 19 year old game

cinder nova
#

It's not exactly batting 1000 on more graphically intense games either. I got an i5 126000K and 32 GB of DDR4

#

So I'm not sure what's bottlenecking

lusty grotto
#

in wow?

#

addons

last jackal
#

Any build for tyranical?

lusty grotto
#

incorrect graphic settings

warm plinth
#

1080 is pretty good; I'd be surprised if a 3060 is significantly better (for WoW anyway)

lusty grotto
#

its not

#

a 4060 is a sidegrade at best

#

a 3060 is also a sidegrade

warm plinth
#

It'll be better for other games that are more GPU intensive, but WoW is more of a CPU draw than a GPU draw

cinder nova
#

What do you mean incorrect settings?

#

Is there a way I could be optimizing?

warm plinth
#

What is your monitor?

lusty grotto
#

yes you could be optimizing

cinder nova
#

22 in Asus, 60 hz

warm plinth
#

I would be willing to be you have vsync on

lusty grotto
#

there are plenty of videos around on what your settings should be by content type

warm plinth
#

bet*

lusty grotto
#

jesus 60hz

warm plinth
#

and that's why you only have 60fps in Valdrakken

lusty grotto
#

holy

#

i forget we play wow and people dont feel the need to jump from 60hz i guess

#

unless youre playing in 4k, which you shouldnt cause fuck that

warm plinth
#

I've never noticed a difference tbh but different eyes

cinder nova
#

Anything over 60hz feels wildly expensive

lusty grotto
#

its not that noticeable in wow

warm plinth
#

120Hz is very affordable now

lusty grotto
#

but in any other game, its huge

warm plinth
#

I imagine it's not even that easy to find a 60Hz monitor these days

lusty grotto
#

144hz is affordable, so is 160hz, so is 240hz

cinder nova
#

I have six of em

lusty grotto
#

144hz 1440p monitors are like 300 bucks at the most

lunar plover
#

Anyone else get absolutely trucked by Deios at the end of Rise? Feels like I’m doing something fundamentally wrong every time we pull him and I’m getting tired of bricking keys that have over 8 minutes left when we get there

cinder nova
#

Nah healers just being potatoes

#

Even cycling well and using pots, IV, and cookies I've had healers let me rot to death over 8.4s then act like they had no time to react

lunar plover
#

I could see if it was pugs but this is coordinated groups with comms and cycling externals/defensives

#

No other boss this season gives me this problem

cinder nova
#

What key level

lunar plover
#

20

cinder nova
#

I mean, that's a big healer check.

#

Honestly the breath isn't that bad

#

It's the keepers

#

They fucking spam and clap ass

#

The dot isn't doing you favors either

lunar plover
#

Just wiped 4 times then swapped myself to arms and a Druid to bear and he yolo’d it in one pull

cinder nova
#

But the keeper is the big pressure

#

That's because he has self healing

lusty grotto
#

that screams skill issue

cinder nova
#

Could be

#

We'd have to see the rotation

#

For your cds

lusty grotto
#

logs would help

cinder nova
#

But I've dumped huge kit on a 19 just to watch myself die slowly as the healer is sitting on their ass

teal swift
#

Any weak aura experts here

cinder nova
#

There's a discord for WAs

teal swift
#

Yes

#

I don't wanna ask there

cinder nova
#

Honestly Deios does a lot of damage in tiny windows to the tank

#

And if your healer isn't ready it'll feel like shit

lunar plover
#

It’s just really frustrating because every other boss in every other dungeon feels like they do nothing

cinder nova
#

But once you hurtle past P1 you're clean

lunar plover
#

I’ll see if i have logs tomorrow when i get up and kick them over to you S if that’s cool

All the haste

#

never too much haste

still crater
#

That's fair, but kinda confusing as to why it even exists keks

waxen sorrel
#

when is haste too much

#

its never too much

lusty grotto
#

its just a recurring question

cerulean tusk
#

How did you come to this notion 7100 is the cap? I demand graphs!

grim pilot
#

I can make that happen

#

non tier head, haste neck

#

maybe some passive haste trinkets

cerulean tusk
#

Engi wrists

grim pilot
#

I think we played a key recently

cerulean tusk
#

Was it a ToT?

grim pilot
#

with aug that did 60k

#

nah

#

undr

#

I remember it because the aug was that terrible

cerulean tusk
#

So not this patch recent eh

grim pilot
#

last week of s2

#

because it was a 20

#

and I made dk 2nd last week

#

lemme pull up a log

cerulean tusk
#

Ah, was it on my aug? keks Think I managed to ratge into a 20

grim pilot
#

my dmg sucked balls too

#

but I've gotten better 😎

cerulean tusk
#

That be me yep

grim pilot
#

after a couple of bdks told me how to play it

cerulean tusk
#

Is that Flumm?

grim pilot
#

yes some ret flumssie

#

or flummsie

cerulean tusk
#

Heh, rekt

grim pilot
#

50% EM uptime

#

how do you do that

cerulean tusk
#

10/10, would bring again

#

Prob was AFK most of the time

grim pilot
#

he did die a couple of times...

#

from a thing called swirlie

#

swear to god before I saw the logs I knew my fella was doing piss damage

cerulean tusk

Hey, it is the past

#

any1 know what the best crafted slots are? I'm an engineer so can't use bracers

#

Cloak & boots i assume?

lusty grotto
#

what does being an engineer have to do with bracer slot?

#

who cares if youre an engineer

hollow scroll
#

coz i cant use embelishment on engineer bracers

lusty grotto
#

the what

#

do you mean BR bracers?

hollow scroll
#

ye,

lusty grotto
#

bro

#

those are available to everyone

#

not just engineers

#

and yes, you dont want BRez bracers

hollow scroll
#

my damn push group doesn't have many brez's so i use em as a backup

#

just so !@#$ it and craft bracers instead then?

lusty grotto
#

i mean

#

youre gonna have to sacrifice that slot one way or another

cerulean tusk
#

If ya team need em, bring em, guess you can go SF cloak + belt. 3 ilvl is lost on wrist and belt tho

#

Kinda sadge tho

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats rough

#

but

#

i suppose its not a big deal in the long run

cerulean tusk
#

As long it ain't the shield

lusty grotto
#

all i know is my Brez bracers are staying 447 until i get a spark i dont need

hollow scroll
#

I'm happy to say stuff the dps and they can take engineer bracers

lusty grotto
#

which is well after i recraft a ring with alchemical or some shit

cerulean tusk
#

Ring worth it tho?

#

3 ilvl lost

lusty grotto
#

its a ring

#

least of all item budgets

hollow scroll
#

no main stat so rings seem good right

cerulean tusk
#

That is what, 5 haste?

lusty grotto
#

its nothing

cerulean tusk
#

Ya need 5 haste

lusty grotto
#

and alchemical patch is worth

cerulean tusk
#

To reach cap

lusty grotto
#

fuck the cap

cerulean tusk
#

I am just sad I can't craft weapon or shield

lusty grotto
#

worth it

@lusty grotto The true haste cap

lusty grotto
#

well i cant say otherwise

#

that indeed is a haste cap

vocal flame
#

Damn Dorki just called us boring and simple lol

lusty grotto
#

hes trolling

#

and even if he isnt hes not wrong

#

its just ironic cause he likes bear

pallid quiver
#

wym bear has the single most intensive and engaging rotation of all classes

lusty grotto
#

dont look too much into it honestly

#

both he and naowh prefer other classes over warrior

#

and thats fine

vocal flame
#

Now bear is boring. I think prot has a lot of different things to use. It’s fun

lusty grotto
#

bear has been boring since its inception

#

its not a now thing

warm plinth
#

Bear is more fun than it used to be tbh. I'm not really sure how pwar is boring but that's opinions for ya

lusty grotto
#

well i suppose youre right

#

it used to be way more boring

warm plinth
#

Legion bear was moonfire spam and moonglaives keks

lusty grotto
#

it is a itty bitty more fun after the rework

cerulean tusk
#

This tier, warrior is close to BDK funfactor tho

#

I enjoy the tier

I will too once I get it lol

silk kiln

If party wipes several times in a dungeon because bursting is that my fault as a tank

lusty grotto
#

no

quartz mist
#

just me or can healers just not heal the tree boss in DHT high keys ? or are they just bad healers

lusty grotto
#

you need to play defensives, and/or ask for one if wall isnt up

quartz mist
#

of course but im not the first one dying

silk kiln
#

Kk literally was the last one alive twice in a 15 EB

lusty grotto
#

ok richie, what can the healer not heal in tree boss then?

#

since this is the prot channel i assumed you meant they couldnt heal you

quartz mist
#

seems like the knock back or people are getting rooted at the same time

lusty grotto
#

i mean people shouldnt get rooted

quartz mist
#

feels like my grip tho , just heal intensive ?

#

with D's

lusty grotto
#

thats their fault if they do get rooted, they are giga bad if they are

#

grip damage is magic

quartz mist
#

so spell block ?

lusty grotto
#

nope

#

sr every one, wall when its up as well

#

if wall not up ask for an external

quartz mist
#

will it work for night breathe at all ? spell block

lusty grotto
#

make sure youre in dstance

#

for grip specifically

quartz mist
#

yeah for sure

lusty grotto
#

yes the breath is spell blockable, its dot isnt though

#

but breath doesnt really hurt anyway

warm plinth
#

you can leap the breath too

lusty grotto
#

feel free to look at sense's reflect/blockable sheet for more tips there

warm plinth
#

idk if someone said that already

lusty grotto
#

yes, but you shouldn't

#

since you can leap the grip throw

warm plinth
#

I've not managed to do that yet

#

Tried a bunch of times

cerulean tusk
#

Ya need to leap as you get lifted, same as with the necro pull in the SL dung

warm plinth
#

ahhh

#

I was trying to leap after I was in the air after he threw me

cerulean tusk
#

Oh, anyone know if we can bug open the door in BRH?

#

I remember it being a thing

#

No clue what I did tho keks

(door after 1st boss)

Nim is that spell reflect sheet in the FAQs? That you mentioned.

lusty grotto

Pugging feels not great.
I feel like healers are acustomed to tanks that can put out way more HPS on themselves and then shit dont go so well.

At a glance am I cocking something up?

#

Maybe it's just back to DPS x)

cinder nova
#

Are you using def stance?

waxen sorrel
#

Mostly yeah I wanna stance dance more and min max but its not going great so mostly sitting in Defendo

cinder nova
#

Are you pressing your defensives before or after you take damage.

waxen sorrel
#

If I am expecting dmg I ofc press shield wall

#

Should use spell block more probably I dont use that enough

strong forum
#

First step would be avoiding disc priests

#

Cuz 90% of them are fotm rerollers who have no clue how to heal in dungeons

lusty grotto
#

yes you should since triple strike is spell blockable

#

nome

#

has someone asked about ursine lately?

strong forum
#

Still bugged

lusty grotto
#

i feel like its sim baiting

#

yeah so

waxen sorrel
#

its not terrible

cinder nova
#

Also looks like you're not pressing LS, but if you don't have 2p/4p from T30 then it's probably not as bad.

lusty grotto
#

it did okay

cinder nova
#

But having 7.5% uptime is kinda low.

lusty grotto
#

a lot of fall off still

#

but its doing shit damage overall

waxen sorrel
#

I do have T30 but I just put it back on was just using some ilvl pieces

lusty grotto
waxen sorrel
strong forum
waxen sorrel
#

be my gear

lusty grotto
#

hmm true

strong forum
#

And if it wasn't bugged, it would do alot more

lusty grotto
#

i wonder if i should use pip instead

mortal dagger
lusty grotto
#

until it gets fixed

waxen sorrel
#

Is it bugged as in. We are working on it or bugged as in its bugged unlucky wont be fixed

pallid quiver
#

My assumption is the latter

lusty grotto
#

its been reported

strong forum
#

It worked on PTR, soooo....

lusty grotto
#

i got a heroic pip in the vault, so i might try that instead

#

mirror also bagged but fuck mirror

waxen sorrel
#

I just want 4 set and see like

#

if I wont suck as much

cinder nova
#

First step is log your keys

#

because if you're unsure if you're playing wrong, we can't tell you without it

lusty grotto
#

yeah your details screenshots dont say much

waxen sorrel
#

True

bleak breach
#

4 set will make a difference, but probably more ilvl based thrn survivability

#

Damage on especially single target will be good.

#

I guess you get the flat DR too

lusty grotto
#

yeah that's true, 4set wont help you if you arent spell blocking spell-blockable hits

#

that's kind of a skill issue

#

go to sense's blockable/SR list in the pins and see what you missed there

waxen sorrel
#

What exactly is spell blockable? Beyond just targeted casts

lusty grotto
waxen sorrel
#

Ah there is a list

bleak breach
#

Just put spell block into our mastery instead and we’re fixed ez

cinder nova
#

Not all targetted casts are Splockable.

#

What is and isn't Splockable, Blockable, Reflectable is all based on spell ID flags

bleak breach
#

Then place ITF where spell block was

lusty grotto
#

yup S has the right of it

#

lol

#

that'd be kind of OP

#

but in that case i would place safeguard there instead (or even group SR)

cinder nova
#

Blizzard has yet to provide an informative in-game means of informing us what does and does not interface with our abilities.

silk kiln
#

Is blocked % supposed to be as high as last tier

cinder nova
#

Yeah.

waxen sorrel
#

Wut

lusty grotto
#

100%

waxen sorrel
#

Thats not like

#

intuitive

silk kiln
#

I’m ass critcake

cinder nova
#

Like I said.

lusty grotto
#

whats not intuitive about it

cinder nova
#

It's based off spell ID flags.

waxen sorrel
#

Its a physical ability

#

and AOE

lusty grotto
#

did you read the intro?

#

so?

#

you can block it

cinder nova
#

Isn't Splock labeled in blue?

#

Lots of frontals are blockable, by the way, they just happen to focus the cone on the active target. They aren't any less an AOE than Bladestorm.

waxen sorrel
#

Oh so

#

Green phyiscal blockable

lusty grotto
#

if its blockable in green it means you can basically just stay on his ass

cinder nova
#

Great advice is to stop overthinking what you think should be intuitively block/splock/reflect.

#

And just read the spreadsheet.

lusty grotto
#

well to be fair

#

physical blocks at the very least make sense

#

and can be intuitively understood

cinder nova
#

EYE OF THE JAILER WAS PHYSICAL AND IT WASN'T BLOCKABLE

#

I'm still mad.

lusty grotto
#

of course thats not the case with spell block

#

LOL

cinder nova
#

They took it away from PTR

#

I malded so hard

lusty grotto
#

cmon we're not in SL or BFA s1 (rocks/shots)

silk kiln
#

DROGBAR ROCKS

cinder nova
#

To give them credit, they've been getting better about what you'd expect to be inherently blockable/splockable.

#

Plus they're letting Splock work on lots of DOTS in the raid.

#

Which is just 👌

lusty grotto
#

blockable yes, splockable... ehhh they still got a long way to go

cinder nova
#

The fact it was dead useless in anything but M Sark was actually a troll

lusty grotto
#

it worked on magmorax

#

so thats 2 bosses at least

cinder nova
#

Yeah but you didn't need it on mag

#

And the stuff it did work on was really whatever damage

lusty grotto
#

im talking about mag ticks

#

not the hit itself

#

if we're talking about hits, it worked on a amalg too

#

or i guess pseudo tank busters idk

waxen cradle
#

We're still pretty damn sturdy and, by pretty damn sturdy I mean we laugh off physical damage. There is no way Blizz would let us have our cake and, eat it too with magic damage. I imagine they figure something has to slap us around... so we have magic damage/unblockable damage. Yes of course spell block is there to help where it can and it does, but they are not going to let us shrug off both forms of damage.

kindred fiber
#

what exactly is spell block

#

is it just passive spell reduction by blocking?

lusty grotto
#

it does the same thing it does to physical but to magical damage

#

but up to 100% on a crit block

#

not 60% like regular SB

kindred fiber
#

so sheilds even matter for spell dmg as a warr

lusty grotto
#

i mean sure

#

but shields were already our biggest defensive piece

#

thats why ilvl > all on shields

bleak breach
#

I definitely think spellblock into mastery would be a great way to help with our magic mitigation. We have the highest mortality rate of any tank atm by a reasonable margin and magic/small health pool is the main reason

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

though honestly its ilvl > all for everything

bleak breach
#

But kinda would be OP having it all the time too maybe?

chilly brook
#

gonna be honest

#

2nd boss of DHT is bullshit

bleak breach
#

The tree?

#

Yeah he hurts

chilly brook
#

so incredibly hard to live in even a 19

lusty grotto
#

i honestly think the implementation of Spell Block is fine, the problem is what S mentioned... the inconsistency

#

whether one thing is or isnt

#

whether dot ticks are or arent

#

that's the bullshit part

chilly brook
bleak breach
#

Yeah, it should just mitigate all magic damage

chilly brook
#

but it's useless on crush

waxen cradle
#

Though I confess I never enjoyed being the man at the top of the totem pole because when your at the top I always felt like you have a giant bullseye on your back, and its only a matter of time until you get knocked off the top.

bleak breach
#

Sometimes it’s great, but sometimes you don’t need it at all because it does nothing

cinder nova
#

crush beats cheeks

lusty grotto
#

with a 1.5 min cd, there's just no excuse to not make everything splockable

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

you wont have it all the time

lusty grotto
#

if anything they could make it so it respects crit blocking a bit better

#

yes sorry

#

as in cap at 60% instead of those weird 100%s

#

so that its not completely fucking busted when its up

cinder nova
lusty grotto
#

tree boy?

lusty grotto
#

yea

chilly brook
#

so yeah

#

probably the only tank it doesn't blast is BDK

#

lol

#

I like DHT a lot as a dungeon but the first two bosses on tyr are ass

#

1st one just lives too long and the 2nd is like you gotta have a giga healer

ionic fern
#

It's just a big "Help healer" check if you play it properly.

chilly brook
#

I tried 😦

#

sat D stance and pooled rage before the mechanic

#

used wall

#

popped potion

ionic fern
chilly brook
#

still ended up dying on about the 3rd? maybe 4th? cast

ionic fern
#

This was mine on a +22. We do not look at the end, i fucked up there myself.😂

chilly brook
#

what healer?

ionic fern

pallid quiver
#

^^^

cinder nova
#

I bet an hpal beaconing you could wrangle it

#

Throw sac and just crank

pallid quiver
#

It's real bad with heals considering how punishing healing can just randomly be

opaque quest
#

You want it on 2 dps exclusively. Always. No exceptions

#

90% of the time a tank heals themselves anyways. No point in wasting beacon healing

cinder nova
#

Uh

#

not on a tyrannical crush my guy

opaque quest
#

So you wanna beacon a tank then heal a dps that doesnt take dmg? Smart

waxen cradle
#

On a Tyr crush if your trying to heal that back yourself the safe bet would be too turn around and stick your ass up in the air it would hurt less

ionic fern
#

Well, like a nice mechanic, it requires both yours, and the healers attention.

#

I don't mind it too much.

waxen cradle
#

OH I pay attention to it myself alright... in my head I am thinking "Here it comes, ok I am ready" I react and do what I can to reduce it, and again in my head I am thinking " OMG that shit hurt"

ionic fern
#

Jeah. 😄

#

Always warn the healer beforehand.

#

And hope they pay attention.

pallid quiver
#

Of course, if you warn the healer beforehand, it's a 50/50 shot to just get kicked,

#

so have a macro that says it mid dungeon so they can't kick you :L

ionic fern
#

Oh, i warn them before the boss.

chilly brook
#

shit mechanic tbh

#

it was never that bad in Legion

waxen cradle
#

My exact warning prior to the boss is something along these lines " healer name" So btw you know this boss has a attack that is going to hurt me yeah ? And I do include my pride in that statement.... Do you know how to heal/ handle the damage ?

chilly brook
#

but then again it was a simple "do you have active mitigation pressed if so then you take less damage period" mechanic

waxen cradle
#

Now that being said I am old school so I try to make others aware of things I am not entirely certain they are aware of beforehand

chilly brook
#

Actually on second thought

#

BrM is probably hella comfy on that mechanic

#

massive shield right before it

#

tons of CDs

Late surprise acting, i already went through it.

#

There you go.

#

Don't start packs with Shield Charge, start them with Charge.
Prioritise Shield SLam->Thunder clap, not Shield Slam->Revenge
Don't needlessly spam taunt.
Use Demoralizing Shout, Avatar, Shield Charge, Ravager on CD.
Look at the "Blockable/Reflectable sheet" in the pins to optimize Reflect usage, especially in WM.
Don't needlesly be in Defensive Stance. You are taking no damage in that WM.
Use Rallying Cry to help your group out in spicy situations.
In ST, use Execute instead of Revenge when enemy is below 20% hp.
Don't turn your back on the enemies, you died to it .

#

Well, "skimped" through it.

ionic fern
#

Live stream -> VoD -> Logs ->->->->->"Help me, i take damage in a dungeon".

Use Rallying Cry to help your group out in spicy situations.

It's still gonna shake out to you giving yourself about 3/4ths of your overall healing intake.

If you use Def stance as a crutch, you're never gonna learn how to not be in it.

ionic fern

I am stance dancing.

#

A lot.

cinder nova
#

You can dance for a lot of mechanics, yeah. I tend to reserve it for big pulls as I wrangle, tank busters, high bursting stacks (or anticipation thereof), or when I'm handling a big pack and I'm totally out of coolies.

pallid quiver
#

stance dancing is the real skill expression

waxen sorrel
#

I realize 5% dmg and 3% crit is not nothing but yeah defo a higher min max thing to do and a skill expression like you say

the oppertunity cost just feels high with my expriences today

#

😦

pallid quiver
#

wow is only allowed one reference to something ever

#

otherwise trade chat will go rabid and start rioting

cinder nova
#

I think the biggest issue you're gonna face is that you're just not pressing your big CDs offensively or defensively.

#

Holding like it's mooning Gamestop stock.

#

Also press IV

#

There's a lot of times I see you not capped for a while and you can just tap it to top off.

waxen sorrel
#

@ionic fern
Don't turn your back on the enemies, you died to it .
If you had sound on you can hear that I did indeed realize that

#

I was not amused with myself

#

What is it IV stands for?

cinder nova
#

Impending Victory

#

You're holding it for an eternity during this Goliath encounter while you're sub 80%

warm plinth
#

yis?

#

I was holding S. Get it?

lusty grotto
#

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

cinder nova
#

IV is defenitely one of those "smoke if you got em" abilities. It's a huge chunk of free HP every 30s or so. It's just not as sexy as druid regen because it's front-loaded and on a moderate CD.

#

Just don't get in the habit of sending it when you have barely any HP missing, because then that's actually useless.

waxen sorrel
#

Righto

lusty grotto
waxen sorrel
#

Anything I do well?

cinder nova
#

This is negative criticism household, son.

waxen sorrel
#

Ah I see just like my mother

cinder nova
#

But in reality, read between the lines. Anything we're not pointing out means you're doing at least acceptable.

chilly brook
cinder nova
#

I will say like... ambiently, it's passible, but you are also having rotational abilities being mixed up. I see you have SS lots of times and not sending in favor of pressing TC in like... 1-3 targets.

waxen sorrel
#

I thought TC was better as soon as there was two targets if both are up

cinder nova
#

Who told you that?

#

No, generally, you're almost always sending SS even in cleave unless it's a pretty big stack.

bleak breach
#

SS hits for way more

waxen sorrel
#

During Avatar, Thunder Clap deals more damage than Shield Slam against 2 or more targets, so it is your highest-priority skill from a damage perspective.

cinder nova
#

SS reduces CD on SW and LS with T30 2p, gives more rage, etc.

chilly brook
#

SS=more rage

waxen sorrel
#

I did not remember the avater part

which equals more damage

So it was that

#

from wowhead I

bleak breach
#

TC would only be priority on like 4-5 maybe?

chilly brook
#

wowhead guide kinda bad

bleak breach
#

But even still SS generates more rage

cinder nova
#

Does UnForce actually eclipse SS in 2-target???

#

I don't think it does.

chilly brook
#

Llarold nice guy, but not a warrior main

cinder nova
#

Plus with T31 2p defo doesn't.

waxen sorrel
#

Still on t30 but yea

cinder nova
#

A shedload of value is frontloaded into SS, so it's a big button to press almost every day of the week.

Good then you didnt hear me breathing

ionic fern
#

Diddn't seem to waste too much rage either.

cinder nova
#

You'd be shocked how many people strugglebus maintaining ShB

waxen sorrel
#

Thanks!
Could be better log says like 81% uptime and I think you can pretty much perma have shield block right?

cinder nova
#

Uptime is irrelevant.

#

Blocked hits is what you wanna eyeball.

pallid quiver
#

Also, it'd be 100% uptime in combat

cinder nova
#

Or close to it.

#

Since there's that noodly little .1% or so when you charge.

waxen sorrel
#

So if I have 87% migigated melee hits

cinder nova
#

More than some people who ask for help, to be sure.

#

But it can be higher.

pallid quiver
#

less back showing, probably

waxen sorrel
#

How do I see specificly blocked

#

hits

#

oh

#

can just hover over

#

75% blocked hits

#

meh could defo be better still then

#

Looks like i had oen blocked critical in the run

#

pog

#

I will take the feedback and work on it and post some more log and vod in a few days and see whats what.
Thanks guys

#

its now 9 AM

#

almost

#

ionic fern
#

Good night.

I sometimes find myself being rage starved and on the edge of dying. I could see that partially being due to me being BDK last tier and our healers not being used to heal me but I fear that I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. I asked here about 9 hours ago cause I was desperate and I got pointers.
These were my logs from yesterday:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/HqfgnhrC4dk8Bx2D#fight=49&type=damage-done
I understand my gameplay has flaws and I'm raidleading at the same time but I could use a few more tips.
Thank you 🙂

As an extremely fast thing without looking at logs, if you're raid leading as prot, you'll probably want to spend more time than usual at the dummy to absolutely ensure your rotation is muscle memory'd up

#

So you can use as little thought on it as possible
