Your CPM at a glance is like 47, probably from the two deaths, which leads to
yeah that
Take a look at the following 2 screenshots.
You've also only got 3 shield wall casts over 6.5 minutes
One of them is you, the second one is our beloved @jagged pier.
Both on Fryakk NM.
Notice the cast differences.
YOu had 10 CPM on SS, Jakey had near 20.
cause I died twice 👀
It's about a 1-1.5 min CD when playing well
16 on TC, to your 7.6.
and you got brez'd once, so
You are literally not pressing your buttons enough.
A huge portion of everything is coming down to that
okay, that is a good point!
I'd advise you to make a WA for SS that does some specific sound whenever it's off CD.
Then after some time, you will hit your SS button by memory whenever you hear the sound.

should also use that IP+SS macro
does sidearm have any interaction with devastator and shield slam resets?
Shouldn't, no.
thanks guys! really appreciate it
so prio in keys is SS->TC fir generating rage, spend cd‘s on cd and dump rage with IP and Revenge if SS and TC are on cd?
@drifting river , can see the rage differences here.
Even though Jakeys fight was ~1m shorter, he generated 4393 Rage to your 2734.
Did you die mid way through? 
I died at 1 min
as I ripped aggro from my cotank during tank buster while having 10 stacks
and then got absolutely shafted by adds at around 4min
I literally died twice on Gnarlroot
what do you mean why?
Sorry, i thought i was checking at Fryakk NM, but it was Gnarl.
Your Fryakk looks better cast wise, but you are still at 15 CPM for SS and 9.7 for TC.
TC is way BELOW what it needs to be.
Same SS.
So all what i said still counts.

I actually asked about Gnarl in particular
but yeah
point still stands
press buttons more

i think I'm doing fine in heroic
I don't struggle there
gnarl specifically fucks me up
killed it twice
and had heart attacks both times
I know that. And when I actively tanked him I had Spellblock up for Barrage. As I said, for my first death I ripped aggro off of my co-tank mid tank buster and had all adds on me.
Tier over the higher ilvl is the right choice to obtain 2pc right?
2p is more important than ilvl; either 2p, mostly
So you generally only swap tier for tier
Okie ty
if you already have the 463 piece of the same slot then tier should only cost flightstones to upgrade to 463
A quick, maybe noobish, question. Are we still wanting to stay in Battle stance as much as possible or do we just camp in Defensive Stance nowadys after all its changes?
still battle unless def is needed
Thanks!
Smolderon is a good fight
I feel like getting the doti cheat death trinket is bait / not necessary. am I wrong in thinking this?
it's also counterproductive to learning a new class
Tbf I love it during progression in raid or in higher keys with pugs.
Cheat death trinkets are only really a good pick when u do content where you can play perfectly and still die
So very high end content
Otherwise youre just kind of compensating for improper play instead of learning to survive
However it can be a good crutch if you feel like you need it. Just know its probably not needed
Guys do you think is that bad if i craft the shield?I did like 50+ M+ runs and i got 0 drops,its starting to get frustrating
If you have crafted new embellishments etc and just have a spark sitting around, just craft it.
Until you get a new one. 🤷
yeah and I feel like it would just make me play even worse if I think I can rely on cheat deaths
Just use it as a planned CD.
I did that in our EB and DHT.
And will probably also do it on Rise.
But i'm mostly equipping it cause it's 470 and i got no 2nd proper trinket.
Outside of some 447 ones.
I don't agree. Mistakes do happen, and having a way to erase one every 8 minutes is very useful. People optimizing under the assumption that their play will be flawless are not actually going to play flawlessly.
Of course mistakes happen. The problem is when you start relying on a ”get out of jail free card” in your gameplay
But you also dont need to be playing perfectly to survive in 99% of gameplay
So even small mistakes are fine
Its obviously just a min/max though. Play what makes you comfortable
But you might end up wasting a trinket slot by playing a trinket you wouldnt need if you just played your class better.
Rise and EB I did on a 16 and just said thats good enuff lol
I should farm fall just to get the trinket for those two dungeons specifically lol
It’s a big cooldown, you can’t really rely on it but it still helps
Ofc you can rely on it.
You can game it and use it at some specific point.
But then it is not for your mistakes but on purpose
whats the difference between having it to cover up a mistake or intentionally using it to cheese a mechanic?
My point was that the cd is too big up to cover all your mistakes if they need to rez you
opportunity cost is a trinket slot, yes. but how many trinket combination are there where another combination would offer more
I meant that I don't think it can really makes you rely on it and then not improve yourself because the cd is not enough permissive for that
I feel like if you're dying more than once every 8 minutes there are larger issues, the only time it makes actual sense is for one specific boss fight/trash pac like in EB DHT or Rise or to intentionally proc it for the buff
Think of it this way; if you're using it to cover up a mistake alone, it's just a strength stat trinket that gives less strength than other trinkets
so you're more likely to just die and you take more damage anyway
If you're just looking for a defensive bump up, Rageheart is better because it gives you more damage and a 400k absorb-ish
on only a 1.5 min cd
sure, there might be more issues but if me not dying one time in a dungeon run means we time the key then its worth more than rezan proccing on some shitter mob that dies anyways
I mean I wouldnt run rezzan in m+, its more comparable to the haste trinket from dawn which is still infinitely better since haste
The issue is you shouldn't be dying in the first place outside of specific situations, like Tree's grab can be kinda scary. You can plan to specifically die, though, which is when it becomes useful
you can use it to do a mondo huge pull, for a theoretical example, where it's like double the size of a huge pull, die intentionally, and have a 2nd HP bar to use
if you wanna run a cheat trinket just in case thats your prerogative, but its covering up for larger issues which is some sort of poor play or mismanagement either by you or the group
Or you can use it to fill a gap in defensive CD rotation, like to intentionally die to tree grab
If you're just using it "well what if i die tho"
just use a trinket that stops you from dying in the first place by giving you more stats/damage/defensives
we have options that are good for all three of those this season
unluckey u
remembering the time I ran a cheat death trinket on my dk in SL and found out they proc'd at the same time as purgatory
yo it'd be funny if you could stack cheat death trinks and talents tho
they changed it so you can iirc
that's funny
I had a dk friend tell me that purg procs first now or something
In addition to all the example you gave
There are some mechanics which "softly" depends on others
Like affix of this weeks where dps should not kill everything at the same time (although you can do smaller pack), or if healer should have dispelled you but couldn't or just didn't
You could play safer or do not and use the trinket
Discord I'm going to fucking kill you why did you change my notification settings back to default
At any rate, yeah, if you have a specific plan for using cheat death,
It is the single best trinket in the game because no other trinket has that functionality
If you don't it's
really ehhhh
Particularly with our damage profile
hey would you mind just pinging me real quick as a test
So i guess I had become what they wanted me to be, a killer.
@pallid quiver
Okay, cool. thanks for the help legends
This is the best take on it.
get fucked
hi there new prot here. do you ever execute as prot?
a lot
It's your go to spender in ST/prio once an enemy gets to execute threshold if you won't rage starve yourself
thought revenge spam would be better
On top of that, we rock sudden death in raid, so you get more before execute range there, too
Revenge does less damage in ST, and is probably? equal in 2T
at least close enough to equal that I wouldn't fuss
It also helps you spend the tons of rage you get when you have all of your CDs rolling at o-
that's a bad time macro unless you're putting them on modifiers to each other
since you use them for different purposes
Shield Charge is effectively a damage CD used in melee range, charge is a gap closer/free rage generator
Nope, you can use it in melee range
damn that makes it 3 stuns as prot
It's just on the GCD in melee range
Cheat trinkets are generally bad if you're playing at a level wherre you aught necessarily not be dying, but if you're pushing any kind of key level cheat trinkets become very valuable very quickly
Well yeah, but it’s the same argument as the ole codex trinket from shadowlands where people show up claiming it’s the best trinket to run because they see some top prot warrior running it in a 29 key when realistically no one coming in to a discord asking about how good a defensive trinket is not going to be doing content where said trinket is good
also iirc codex was even just bad at that purpose, too, even
but that's neither here nor there
Yo friends! ANyone know how to get raidbots to stop telling me to enchant my gloves lol
Gotta get that legion gathering boost or you won’t get invited to keys
But in all seriousness if raidbots is telling you to enchant your gloves then it’s an issue with raidbots or there’s a new glove enchant I haven’t heart about. Check crafting orders, it might be soulbound
I mean u might just have replace ticked and an enchant selected for gloves in the list of stuff
Codex in chat?! What year is it?!

what is fervid bite
Your tier set
it's insane
well
It's taking the damage for your bleeds into it
so if you look in pure ST, rend and T Roar look like they do no damage now
even if it's just because they're all getting packaged into one neat "number go here" setup
@lusty grotto GM, when you get a chance will you link me your SR announcement WA for some reason the one I have doesnt work
Mans been grinding
He also could have done that years ago when it was bugged and u could get 100s an hour
Yes
It dumb
Even tho i did the pvp world quest everyday in legion on multiple chars i think im like 180 or something
Like its dumb how high it is
Lmao
No 10 horses get me into pvp
Tbf its the casual bg players that have the highest cause all the day do is pvp
sure but still the amount of time needed
Most big pvpers have less as they spend their time in queues
Or epic bg enjoyers
to get to even lvl 500 mount
Because epics give insane honor
I just want 10 RBG wins this season for my rogues blue mage tower tints
Have fun with the toxicity and racism
Ye cant wait
They need to go all riot on the RBG community
Well afaik most of it doesn’t happen in game chats so blizz can’t really police it
Discord
r rated rbg
i have leatrix plus but cnt see this? is it seting?
Its solo qeue tho
I played like 40 matches in Legion. zero toxicity
Probably a "new" thing
Oh that’s gotta be new
whats the website for routes?
Guru something
Wowbead, icy veins, Keystone guru
i wouldnt put it that way
cause u reapply ur bleeds
no but like the majority of all the damage that normall shows for rend and t roar go into fervid now
just straight out in details
so rend and t roar show they do massively less damage if you don't think of it that way
Ye this season
Does shield ilvl matter for dps in terms of do abilities scale on it?
aside from str and the stats, no the shield itself does not affect dps output
but it does affect how much % of dmg you block
guys ive been tanking for a week now and im ilvl 471 but i keep dying to the charge on the 2nd boss in everbloom. shit hits me for like 900k and after that i have no rage to stabilize, am i doing something wrong or whats going on?
charge hit hard 
not much you can do
besides rotate CDs
and pray
and obv have DPS not shit up any spaces around the bosses
Use IV to stabilize. The 1 GCD might be enough for most healers to spot heal
Also, it is spell blockable, so that can help cover two iirc if you time it properly
D stance
rotate CDs
charge/leap out of the pool
so u only get 1 tick
save IV and pot
as well
pay jakey like $10,000 to do the fight for you
ill take it
also tell everyone to move away from the prio target on charges
cause then u can go back easy
That’s useful, was debating if my 424 helm was ok to replace with 463 non-tier
Sim city
how come transmog sometimes is called xmog
where does the x come from
same with xmas
hmm
uuuuhmm
Trans is across
Hence why transatlantic flights and the like are
across the atlantic
and x is
a cross

well there we go
makes sense
xmas i can see being called that because you dont wanna have "christ" with it
thanks for reminding me that chrismas is soontm
funny enough
idk what i want
it's also christmas
and what to give others
be like me, reject holidays
especially holidays made just to compete in proselytizing wars that have now sense become sensaltionalist consumerist garbage, spitting on hundreds of years of cultural traditions and lifestyles
hell yeah i love consumerism and capitalism
speaking of which
gonna go out and buy something
I mostly just hate it because everyone's a ponce because it's Christmas season, as they yell about how it's the time to be nice and loving
nah fuck that
so they buy buy buy and shove and spit on people
and i don't think people should be treated like that any time of year
yeah same for me and my family
That's mega fine to me, tbh
and good food
none of that happy spirited decoration consumer cringe
especially the music
go fuck yourself christmas music
I mind modern Christmas music than older Christmas music, because musical progression and melody still exist and all
and then modern is just blatant cash grab rehashes in modern styles that i'm
less fond of
Well, rather, modern pop styles I'm less fond of
i'm a bitter spoilsport and this is why no one keeps me around
so why is it called invincible if we can see it
because xXMegaHaxx0rXx commited a great sacrifice to apply Cheat Engine's power to all of us
so we could truly enjoy life and the grind for mounts
oh yeah thats my buddy eric
blessed be his name
X is an abbreviation for christ
X being the first letter of thr word if you translate it to Greek iirc
That'd also do it
hell ye
If we were to get buffed or reworked, what would you guys hope to see done?
Is this good for prot?
its fine
it'd be cool to have a grip/pull/something like that - more mob control thats not just stuns/fears
Ditch spear give me banner
The lack of secondaries is not great, but the effect is pretty ok... overall it's a wash, use it if it's your highest ilvl 1 hander but use something else if you have better
yeah id also really like to go back to the necrolord gameplay
Yeah just got it, higher track then what I had currently
Anyone else hate the tier set in M+? Not being able to take shockwave blows ass haha
Would go a long way toward warrs utility
Going to experiemtn with taking out the CD reduction on TR
Is the builds in the pins for 4p?
Avatar moved way down the class tree so all warriors can actually make choices rather than be locked into one concept. Same for Shockwave because having a necessaqry stop in the tier 3 talents is just dickery.
In the spec tree, swap the positions of Bloodbourne and Bolster, and make Bloodbourne a 1 point talent for the same effect as currently 2. Likewise swap Thunderlord and the SoF/Sudden Death choice node's positions. Then remove the pathways leading from Challenging Shout and FbV/BV to Shield Wall (which nobody uses) and instead put in pathways from Bloodsurge to the new position of Bloodbourne and from Instigate to the new position of SoF/Sudden Death.
Finally, Bring Back Banner (with additional talents for the old Covenant Legenday Effect), eliminate BSV and replace the nodes after Ravager with a choice node that adds either Last Stand or Ravager to the effect of Anger Management (a la how it was in BfA).
There, fixed.
I want the banners from pandaland back tbh
I still feel cheated they thought about skull
I understand why they didn't
but i want it
I'd like Slam to remove enrage affects and a bloodlust.
i miss skull banner
i miss banners in general
intervene on them was super nice taunt banner was hella broken demo baner was meh
demo banner and taunt banner were both cool
I agree wirh the Necrolord minigame. It was fun.
I didn't play MoP, so no idea about how any of those worked. Conqueror's Banner was Cool AF though
3 more banners would be eeh
they were like conq banner 1.0 where you "placed" a banner and shit happened around it
The most notable was Skull Banner, which increased the entire raid's crit damage
You could also intervene to them as if they were a friendly target
speaking of reworking tallents anyone take improved heroic throw?
I generally dislike totem mechanics, TBQH
like that and titanic throw seemed dead as fuck
Conqueror's Banner S3 though... Chef's Kiss
They had skull banner in our DF trees at one point
What embleshments will prots craft in this season?
and iirc it was gonna be on the back instead of placed
They opted to not give it, I believe to not give Warriors something mega overcentralizing, because, again, it was crit damage it increased, not just like crit rate or something
so it was whacky
TBH I like the CB uptime minigame; it was something you could actually be good at. But ofc the people who weren't whined about it, which is why we can't have nice things.
Are you on mobile?
no, pc
you press the pin at the top right
any ideas people? :d
ty
Shadowflame Wrists and Cloak with Haste/Crit on them
Sorry to ask again, but are the pins optimized for current 4-piece?
You don't have to, but it's better once you hit the breakpoint since it is more damage
yeah im sitting on 6k haste so might as well
The more recent pins should be if you have 4p
You have to go back to get the T30 builds,
And the 2p2p ST build is specifically marked as such in pins
They're the ones under the T31 talent builds post
i dont use a WA, only a macro
ahhh alright np
yo
that was you the other day in dht right? i checked bnet and you werent online
and also you were troll
i kind of was like hold up
wew almost gaslit myself
btw i got the sword on my last run before raid
on wednesday 😢
took me so many runs lol
With enough haste, it's pretty good yes
i have like 6200 right now
Dunno how good or bad it is in ultra keys when it comes to block uptime on bosses
But should generally be fine
just get a pally and have them bubble taunt to cover your uptime if it drops :L
why ad shield
Cuz it’s convenient to run
get everbloom or rise shields
Fuck rise
though everbloom is fucking aids this week with bursting, whoever in blizz decided flowers should burst is smoking some crack
See now you’ve answered your own question
we ran one last night and we went
when our 1st pull gave us like 30 stacks of bursting
That being said I did an eb earlier and it wasn’t that bad
just kill everything at once and die, ezpz
🙂
the door's right there
No deaths to bursting
Just me causing a wipe because I was like “nothing hits hard” and pulled too much

i dunno wtf i did but healer insta leaved when key was done just some baby key
why
Somethin to do
what have you guys crafted so far for your prot spec?
so its pretty much cloak and bracers?
ye
gotcha thx
Silly question but are we loot speccing prot for all dungs for gear minus dazar for trinket?
I think it will depend on what you need
Like if you have a shield already at a level you want, you can fish for dps trinkets
so how long is the adventure guide gonna be broken until ppl fix it you think
Prot until you get a shield
how do u deal with bursting
i was saved to smolderon normal and now the entire raid is super angry
cus "someone" was saved
and they got -1 loot piece
its like among us in the chat rn

when the raid boss only drops 1 piece of loot for the entire raid....
you dont, your dps and heals have to manage it
You can stagger some pulls to try and help
Interesting
I got through second boss fine then group fell apart to third bos
On a 20
The mage? She was a healer burst check, but not unmanageable
u done dht on high key
first boss's charge somehow oneshotted me
should we be shifting away from haste at 30 or 40?
i did a 20 this week, wasnt bad
Boys, on Atal last boss. Should tanks be eating some of the spiders once it gets rediculous how many there are?
no
read my nickname
heard chef
ideally you want the whole group on top of the boss so they bait to a specific spot
and you keep moving boss around
they only run away from boss for adds
Fyrakk is the CEO of DGAF
didnt have block up
thank you!
good life advice in general really, never ate a good spider
The real answer is to just check each dungeon and swap based on what you need/don’t need though
Well on average you eat 2 per year in your sleep
Done it on +18. I found it pretty easy TBH
yer it was fine on 20 as well
Just get Rezans and scale from doti and youre set
Thats a lie. Spiders are scared of your body heat
I’m cold blooded
Fair
Big false

Thank you. I was a bit worried.
im not sure what u mean exactly by this lol
Just get Brand and Augury 4hed
My body is a bit different from most people I have a condition called amphibomyosis that means I can’t produce my own body heat, similar to other cold blooded animals like reptiles. So I have a heat lamp in my room and special bedsheets/pillows to regulate temperature. I also live in a warm area for most of the year to help with regulating body heat
so ur a lizard
for darkheart thicket...I need to get punted into the air yeah? like using most of the room. for boss 1? Cause whenever I aim myself into a wall, it seems quite risky as it's difficult to tell where boss is and if I have enough time to get out of the way. Wondering what the right play here is? Lot of dps are being stupid tho and getting killed by the frontal when I'm using a lot of space for it
Is that real? Pretty sure humans just drop dead from a lack of regulatory processes
Sorta
Pretty real yeah
LOL
yeah i mean....thats whats happening
id rather just aim against a wall, and hope for the best
pop defenses
hope i choose the right side to run to for the charge
Does it go by any other term?
i dunno what DRs like block probably most likley, assuming its a physical so block, dunno,
Maybe but idk
i give it a bit of spacs i can be knocked back at least so many yards and when he or another monster does a larg knockback i do charge back, the forge master boss in neltharus
lair final as well
Doesn't show up in Google under that term so it's either super rare or the diagnosis term is uncommon.
I also don't know why they'd call it as Amphi, because it seems kinda unrelated other regulatory types.
Figured as much, I was like ??? humans can't even survive without endothermic processes, that'd be wild if someone's metabolic behavior mutated independent of it.
Yeah sometimes I just like spouting nonsense
But we've also seen some seriously insane shit in humans
is there an addon thatll auto accept role checks for group finger?
finder*
so i can alt tab when doing guild mythic+
Why are you doing role checks in guild keys
You heard of these folks? Talk about hitting the genetic lottery. You can just exercise and run almost indefinitely.
Ah
There are some but I’m not able to remember the names.
Might be a weakaura tbh
ALSO, once I have 2P do i drop old 2P for ilevel or only 4P?
nvm thats what pins say
i feel like the lactic acid is there for a reason though - like because your muscles dont have enough oxygen or smth
so having it would be good because it makes it so you dont strain?
but maybe its just op
wowhead shows best embells for season 2, did it not change in s3 then?
still shadow
i think i will have to do that
Yes, the technical function of the mutation is that it flushes lactic acid out of the system faster. The lactic acid building up sends signals to the brain, but if you don't reach a build-up threshold, it's kinda limitless* big asterisk.
We do need it, though. It's just the buildup in the muscles is a massive limiting factor.
Hell, it's almost impossible to avoid, it's a byproduct of how we process glucose.
Anybody else nearly dying of heart attack every time you tank DHT on 2nd boss. Even post nerf the grips the boss done to the tank are fucking me royally on anything 20+.. I survived +20 today just, then went +21 and as predicted couldn't survive to the end. I've just created a build specifically for this boss which is just nuts. Is it just me? Any tips?
Literally not even spending rage on revenge just ignore pain
It's overtuned, yes.
Your healer needs to pocket you hard.
If your healer is dead-set on you, you can live as long as you're careful with CDs and make sure you're spending them on only Crush.
But it's wildly overtuned, absolutely. You're not even racing the mechanics after a point, you're racing against your healer's mana bar.
Because if they're playing right there's definitely a possibility of them having to sacrifice a DPS to keep you up later in the fight, and they're dumping gobs of mana inefficiently just to keep your ass alive.
That said, I think it'll smooth out with gear. When people are almost entirely 483+ as a gold standard for those keys, it'll be easier.
its not over tuned im sorry
its really simple
u need to rotate cds and your healer needs to heal u
It's ticking for like 50-60% of our HP super fast through CDs.
How is that not overtuned?
i mean i havent had an issue with it
Jake, don't you run with a dedicated team at like mid-20s?
no
u can check my logs
i pugged it today
was fine
all i do is ask them to heal me during grip
u dodge all other damage on that fight anyway
Are you leaping breath?
ye
no like loads of time
When do you leap? Does he not follow you?
He starts the cast, you leap, charge back in when it ends
Wait, he plants during the cast?
crying in lfg rn
I figured he'd chase you down as he casts it.
Wish Splock worked on crush
Just because you can do it doesn’t mean it’s wildly out of wack from the rest of the dungeons
Crushing grip is wild
Like the boss is definitely overtuned
Just feels like crush is, the breath doesn't feel awful tbh
but knowing you can just jump away is even easier
It's like the awkward phasing outside of last seasons lava dungeon
Where standing behind the stone phases you correctly
But standing in front can make you disappear
Can't remember the name for some reason
AD too, thought someone was war mode but just quest phased
theres weird shit going on if u beat a wcm, don't reset it
and then zone in
u start at 3rd boss and the teleporter takes u to 3rd bos and then both doors are also locked
forcing u to portal out
no, that just means you didnt reset
it should send u to the lobby always and u should be able to zone out
is what i mean
read pins
some dungeons, the bubble isn't big enough or placed properly preventing you from leave similiar reasons
started vanquish today, thats fun
best way to farm flightstones?
Oh boy. The last boss in TotT is a mess on Tyr
Having DPS stack the circles helps
Just getting the add grouped up was a royal PITA
Aka going into bad to drop bad
I was doing it as arms didn’t seem like I was in danger of dying
It doesn't help that the water can go on the healer, it must be said
Not much damage on the fight during that though
I am gonna sim but crap right? lkol
The blotyting Darkness is ticking for 100k, it's not something DPS can live in for long
It sims about the same as a 447 Anvil from last season
Fyrakk add phase is dogshit. You can't even silence or interrupt them to group them. You have to use a push or grip. Designing a fight that a tank can solo BDK, is a little... Fuck sake Blizzard.
yikes lol
Yeah so I am going fury loot spec from now on its just trinket city as prot in chests
I feel like it's not that bad as long as you're proactively positioning.
You can also use hard CC to keep them from casting as you move to kill them
Trap, shackle, etc.
anything with the word spores has historically been bad for us
sporecloak, sporepods
Move boss and cleave lol
It’s really not that bad
haha ty for the info. I think I am done with prot spec with chests
And you’re also not solo tanking that fight
the big ads pulse and hurt the souls right
a lot of ppl are solo tanking it apparently now
I'm not saying it's "difficult" I'm saying it's dogshit that I have nothing in my toolkit to group them but, a BDK can group everything and tank the boss solo.
Sporepods 
Not happening in mythic, only difficulty that matters
well

Bdk hasnt solod a single fight btw they still taunting off so stacks can reset, nothing new there
At this pace should be downed tomorrow
Basically the fetid strat
One tank takes the consistent damage, the other takes da big pp hit or just resets things
No
I really hope limit wins so we don't get two months of max in every stream giving a 2 hours speech
he does that in either case
Phase 3 is gunna be wild they nerfed the adds because even tho the guilds could get to p3 it would be too inconsistent and p3 is gunna be hard to they just made it easier to get to the hard bit of the fight
max is a poor winner or poor loser
Preach
Dont stream then ez clap
i dunno wtf but my master hammer macro hits everything but hands
Was about to say that
no honor
i have all my points in armor smithin
correct
Both guilds still get a huge revenue from ads and subs, they are winners either way 
Idk all I’ve seen from Max is “we just fucked up here and should have been better at x y z”
When they lose
And EU also whines
So I mean like neither side is perfect
But at least NA has some entertaining raid comms

Do we have a preferred One-hander from M+/Raid (Heroic max for me)?
gholak beats everything
That's the main reason why I watch limit, it's more entertaining, less structured in a sense
Fyrakk weapon
Gholak
even normal gholak is bis
jesus, I took 0 loot from raid unfortch. Second best?
is this correct for retail
for macro im trying to macro my hammer hit gloves for free repairs
nvm i had 2 macros same icon
is there a 2nd best that is known, or all of em are irrelevant
all irrelevant in the face of gholak
I just checked it out. Good in M+ too?
Yes…
ty
is heart of darkness buff on me
or debuff on enemy
apparently i had a 92% uptime on it
Uptime doesn't really matter that's not why the trinket sucks
the trinket works premit
I wonder how that works if it goes on multiple targets, seems like would be really nice if i can have it 92% up time all the time
so, before armor, before IP before block, before vers
so you reduce 200k to 190k, and then reduce it by like 70% or w/e
so its not a total of 10k actual reduction
more like 1 or 2k
way way way less
If you mitigate 70% of all damage, 7500 is also mitigated by 70%
this is dmg in
12? 10? 9? dht
im spamming for haste egg cuz yogi haste trinket
Alternatively you could use a good trinket
im gunna go get smacked by one of those raid tank dummies to see
see what
Maybe he'll see himself cleaving the melee with archdruid's charge again

You can jump out of the throw
wat
You can't avoid getting grabbed
It hurts the DPS
doesnt do relevant amounts in weekly keys
i forgot what i was doing mid way throug
you wanna leap the breath
so you have all CDs for the grip
and the throw always gets thrown on the furthest target
so the DPS can bait it
All cd and ignore pain pre stacked
That's actually the main issue of tanking the breath imo, you get into grip without ignore pain stacked
Two tank buster that strong in a row is pretty damn bad!
its omega free if you have hpal or rdruid
you just rotate SW -> external -> SW
and have a CD for every single grip
without breaking a sweat
Boss gonna catch a nerf
I'm more concerned by murozond tbh
when the hell does this dude cast flame shock or mind rot
only seen the cast of the swirlies and the totem
flameshock is rng targeting
and mind rot?
flame shock is like every 10 seconds and prefers dps and healer
and mindrot is aoe dmg once you phase him
idr the frequency tho
starting with 5.4k haste unbuffed ITF starts becoming really good this means ITF over HR above 5.4k haste or until 5.4k haste?
iirc the haste value from ITF isnt affected by DRs so it becomes really good once you start hitting the haste DR
since its a flat %
ye sry

i tend to over double check too much
the egg sack or whatever haste is trash for us too right
im curious to hear how thats bullshit
it only procs 0.7 times per minute
so you have barely 10% uptime on it
and its a ramping trinket
the way i assumed it was going to be bullshit was
so its not even good for like half of its proc time
it procs enough and then it exists for 20 seconds and then you have to do things to get more stacks but the proc rate would be dog shit
i thought thats how heart of darkness was going to ask
and then falls off
too much varianc how much dmg the raid dummy boss strikes me for
and variance of attack type, one even does shadow dmg
would have to log it to see the different
so far i like butcher block, satic str and sometimes big crit, and might of the ocean static crit and big str on use, able to line it up with avatar well
One trinket I have not gotten yet ^
damnit, so we cant even get a crit haste weapon from keys
Gholak is gonna be dope on Iridikron
too bad damage doesn't matter there until you're on 90-85%
Well 90% is when the fight is generally over...
I have a normal Gholak, but 1 handers don't seem to drop on higher content for me
Normal gholak gets replaced by heroic gholak
Which only gets replaced by mythic gholak
476 gholak straight up better than any m+ weapon
Maybe a 489 vault weapon is better
if u got appropriate dps
i failed the dps check once 
Got Avoidance on it too
I ended up taking heroic ghloak in my vault but still feel like maybe mythic tier chest would of been better it’s hard to gauge what more valuable lol
Ohh avoidance is nice
TBH I would prefer Leech, but hey, more stats is still better stats, regardless
There's a Spreadsheet in the pinned messages with everything that can be spell reflected or spell blocked in every dungeon
When you step outside of melee range, he attacks you with a ranged attack, you can reflect that
I had real trouble with Ozumat earlier
The damage is not the issue, it's the gathering of the adds and the cleansing that makes or breaks the fight
Any good prot warriors to watch vods of?
Nextback
what should i drop to get bounding stride in the m+ build?
how good is prophetic stonescales for prot warr?
Well it's a cheat death trinket, assuming you play properly and not push high keys it's pretty bad
anyone knows if ursine vengeance is still bugged?
Usually drop pain and gain
According to hotfix on like the 17th or something, it should work not
now*
I don't have it to test though
Does anyone know exactly how much extra damage you take as tank when hit from behind?
Can't find any explanation anywhere
You don't take extra damage when hit from behind.
Being hit from behind just negates the ability to be able to block/dodge/parry.
I see
So obviously for prot war, that's very very bad, since 90% of our mitigation is blocking.
Yes, everything but blocking/spell blocking and parry/dodge would work.
DRs work no matter what
Nope, as far as I can remember, that's never been a thing. Just the lack of avoidance mechanics.
Sitting is the only thing you can do that will actively affect how much damage something does, because it forces a crit
ursine vengeance did 2% of my dmg in a BRH 20
2.3% to be precise
dunno if that info is valuable for anything
How much is 2.3%
Percentage damage is kinda variable since it's based on player skill and ilevel
130k overall 460 equipped
no I mean, what was the actual total damage the trinket did
3.7M
seems pretty good, considering the amount of strength it gives too
tru
it's bad, and bugged which is why it's doing bad dps
i didnt want to say it
but it felt pretty underwhelming
although its just a stat stick
afaik the stacks are still dropping randomly
Signet brand and augur
Jesus what is that damage
What ilvl was that hunter
how about from m+
I didnt check but like it was bad @warm plinth
That was lady he was a live till like 10% or so
Like the difference between a 17 group where people do dmg and somewhat know the mechanics and then these kinda groups. Its like two different dungeons
Yeah people got too boosted during fort week
So many bosses this week that are completely different skill requirement than last week
I have done idk 15 TTT 17s and completed 3 or something. (It drops 3 pieces that could become tier)
One of them was so smooth
I was like is this the same dungeon
I'm surprised that's the case (since you said it is)
People have much higher ilv on average
And just by pressing W can do more than last week
Yeah but you could face roll a lot of the bosses that actually require strategy this week.
and the boss will blast ur ass if u fuck up
E.g. yazma, 2nd and last boss of ToT
Like last boss in TTT and people dont know to stack the ink
and rotate sides with it and kill adds next to ink
Surprised you didnt mention gursha
or w/e his name is
haven't tanked tot yet
I just see tanks take fuckload of damage there
and instead mentioned yazma
I don't take any dmg as a bdk uwu
Done very few ADs tbh
Like only one
What is hard about last boss?
Mechanics wise
Trying to remember
Just reflect dot blast thing
It's annoying boss for dps due to constant spider dodging and it's interruptible now
You dont get it as tank
Only somewhat of an issue there is that last week you could use 1 defensive like every 45 seconds or so for soulrend and now you can get actively sniped
Is it more ideal to send on smold's damage phase
or just throw everything as it comes and only hold if it's close
Yazma is about spider management. People just stood in the middle or wherever they wanted last week and got away with it
I gotta get them parses up
Also mind bender is overturned and really just a dps check. There's not really strategy to it
Which is why I didn't mention It
not only 17s, I timed lolt of 19s on my dh tank which shouldnt be timed with people dps. We had 70k dps unholy dk in +19 rise dungeon. I had 90 there
the fuck...
week 2 churn matches you up with jabronis that'll be hardstuck in the teens for the entire season
Another week or two and the stratification will be more evident
just finished 18 hold +3, farming ring there. This is one of the better dps lock in my runs (465 lock btw)
I feel like people rerolled and didnt try their classes before patch launched
you say it's a dps check but whenever I did that key I was racing with other people
ig I was just lucky to have good teammates in tot
wdym racing with other people
Even tho I was saving all my shit for totem dh was still blasting that stuff
Diff built
yeah but that doesn't mean it's not a dps check. There's nothing to that fight besides killing the totem
LoS is a hard mechanic sir
100%
The amount of people getting hit by the AOE burst on the totem boss that requires LOS

When I did a run earlier, Mindbender was easy; as long as your DPS notice each totem and the healer dispels the Flame Shock he can barely do any damage. Co-ordination check, not DPS.
Ink of Ozumat though, is both a co-ordination check and a DPS check. And with 2 ranged adds every time it's quite susceptible to party composition. I ran it with 2 melee and a Priest healer, and it was painful to get the adds stacked up. Other comps may have a much easier time of it.
I suspect that your best pick for there would be a Shaman, FWIW
Can you trade aspects into wyrms? I am being giga blocked by wyrm and have yet to use as an aspect
If you max out your Aspects for the week they automatically get converted downwards
Same at every stage.
I will post logs and vods later but I already feel like i have gotten better from the convo yesterday
In battle stance a lot more at least that's a start
despite my assumption that this trinket is meh I'm still curious if it actually procs a lot
Those trinkets with that wording usually procs on CD when you are tanking thrash at least
Not tried it though
LOL. Guy trying to buy an LFR Cataclysmic Signet Brand from me
I'd still have turned him down for 300k
I paid a token for a heroic class trinket for evoker last season to a mage that got giga carried through the raid
felt bad
Should of offered 3 million
Gross
Hey I just swapped to prot and my Hekili addon doesn't work for some reason, does anyone have a fix for this?
its telling me to use abilities that are already on cooldown
is there any fix to this ?
no idea. We don't recommend Hekili so I would be surprised if anyone had a fix for it in here.
obviously its a starter addon and I use it for low keys, im not trying to say its better or anything thats not my argument. Im looking for a fix
I like to enable hekili when i jump to a new spec or class for a few days
Vile
thank you for responses, ill have to search elsewhere. sorry
As for the actual question no idea. Worked for me yesterday but disabled it today so idk if there was an update
honestly
this trinket cant be that bad
just because it gives persistent 2% vers
or something like that
its essentially like 10.0 hunger of the pack
It is intended.
If it was unintended blizzard would've disabled it
Like they have many other add-ons.
Don't shame people for the tools they use.
That said, go ask on the hekili community.
I shame them and look down on them
As I do defenders of the vile addon as well
Have an opportunity to better their gameplay by asking some solid players some good questions and instead insult the community and themselves by automating their gameplay
I shame it and look down on it
you shouldnt
I will until I die
it doesnt play the game for you
only reason I noticed it was the fact that it's a legit stat stick
current setup
I'm sure it would be nice on a BrM tho just for the raw vers
but I'm also certain the giga trinkets from raid would still be better for them

my trinkets do be garbage
but everything is garbage next to signet and the other one
I got one of those Embers of Nullification. I simmed it. 447 Anvil was better.
well ye, a lot of trinkets are better
