toxic pewter
#

does that trinket stack or what

sick sentinel
#

depends which one

lusty grotto
#

it stacks, in the trash can

sick sentinel
#

cuz like 437 bacon would still be good

u guys think champion max upgraded would be better with avoidance?

#

than the first one max

chilly brook
#

Ilvl is the only thing that matters

lusty grotto
#

avoidance wont give you extra block

#

ilvl will

#

so follow what griff said

woven torrent
#

okay thanks

sick sentinel
#

i acutally did the thing for once

winged flume
#

what is "For all of these FbV and BrV are interchangable." im hjaving a crisis here

winged flume
#

omfg i saw it and was like NAW

#

ok thank you

woven torrent
#

np

#

can anyone tell me how to do the ToTT gauntlet well at +20?

#

i watched a vid and they had the same issue of pulling the second big guy with a lot of debuffs

#

but his group didnt die cus of spirit link

#

like is there some special strat i can do?

jagged pier
#

u just taunt it at its max partol point

#

ez

pallid quiver
#

You're going to have to work with your group; you don't want any stacks to exist when Swells come out, so you need to pace your killing if there's any small ones around surrounding the cast. Basic idea is kill adds, get big guy as stacks fall off, swell goes out without stacks

#

If you have small adds and they die as swell is gonna be cast

#

You're not gonna have a group

woven torrent
#

yea problem is it's probably going to cast swell again

#

and the new small guys die

#

while we're killing him

#

lel

#

i'll try what jakey said tho

#

that way it shouldnt pull any more small ones right

jagged pier
#

i mean u taunt then and move back fomr the guantlet

pallid quiver
#

That's for the best if nothing goes wrong, yeah

jagged pier
#

hes not tethered to the smallies

lusty grotto
#

yea

pallid quiver
#

Smalls are in the hallway, yeah

woven torrent
#

also should I pull the small ones into the big pack of goblins together afterwards?

#

or wait to kill small, debuff falls off and then?

jagged pier
#

yer u just kill a bunch with the goblin pack

#

so u have room to taunt

lusty grotto
#

caster goblins dont do extra damage with the oozes

woven torrent
#

making sure cus i only did this dungeon twice on tank

pallid quiver
#

The debuff increases shadow dam you take, so

woven torrent
#

and boutta try a 19 now 😔

lusty grotto
#

its water/ice damage not shadow

lusty grotto
#

from the aquagoblins

woven torrent
#

i see

pallid quiver
#

I heard it also increases bursting damage as a result

lusty grotto
#

possible

#

but the mini oozes themselves dont give out bursting just the 6 pack

pallid quiver
#

That's what I thought when someone told me

#

Because they did explode, but they could have exploded from bad instead

woven torrent
#

also do u guys go in/out at the last boss to spell reflect?

#

or is it not worth it

lusty grotto
#

its worth it

#

just lost 2nd ursine trinket in a row this time to a balance druid lmao

#

super annoying

sick sentinel
#

secret bear

toxic pewter
#

yea

sick sentinel
#

i dunno if thats acutally good for druids

patent osprey
toxic pewter
#

Ok cool

patent osprey
#

its just fine, as a defensive option, way worse than fyraks

toxic pewter
#

that makes me feel a bit better just still using annoying veteren trinket

patent osprey
#

the healing is minimal and the dps of it is only ok

lusty grotto
#

its also still bugged

patent osprey
#

Prot Warrior not really needing defensive trinkets other than cheat right now atm

toxic pewter
#

cheat death is super nice when I am pushing these keys it has saved my ass a good amount of times

left basalt
#

If you already had the 441 cheat trinket, would you attempt to farm a hero, or stay fury for the heroic gorehowl chance?

lusty grotto
#

ehh gorehowl

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

why would you want goreholw?

#

for the mog?

left basalt
#

i play fury in raids sadgers

pallid quiver
#

that's the real power of those trinkets

lusty grotto
#

BRH 2h is better

#

BRH 2h + gnarlroot

#

perfect stats

#

for fury

left basalt
#

icyveins has the gorehowl as BIS for fury, maybe im reading it incorrectly

lusty grotto
#

also cheat doesnt drop from rise, where gorehowl drops

#

cheat drops from fall

#

where hourglass drops

left basalt
#

ohhh, you're right

#

perfect, thanks answered my question 🙂

lusty grotto
#

rise has mirror

#

and shield

#

and gorehowl / quel'zaram

hushed panther
#

think its always scale? even if i have a champion path one?

lusty grotto
#

dont think you have much of a choice there

#

all 3 are minimal stat upgrades

jagged pier
#

1k haste ring

lusty grotto
#

hmm true

hushed panther
#

its 1.2k crit*

#

not haste

jagged pier
#

band of burin thorns no?

copper lion
#

you guys go left or right on fort AD?

mild sorrel
#

Somehow I read band of burning moms

hushed panther
#

oh, the heroic one

#

yeh it is phat haste

lusty grotto
#

yeah but hero ring vs myth tracks idk

copper lion
#

i just pick up the first groups on left

#

then go right

lusty grotto
#

not in tyrannical week, but sure

copper lion
#

yea i go straigh to the boss, thats what you mean?

lusty grotto

winged flume
#

team, i saw the T31 WA, but i cant find it now

sick sentinel
#

i wish this exact helmet was hero instead

timber nest
lusty grotto
#

looks shopped

timber nest
#

Most likely

pallid quiver
#

It'd be hella funny if it just vault dropped for everyone else, and the whole questline and crafting was just for the one dude

karmic plinth
#

some sort of bad luck protection item it seems

maiden ravine
#

item?

cosmic wyvern
#

how much of a bad idea would it be to convert my hero helm with a socket to tier instead of hoping for tier gloves, and use my KSM token for tier chest

toxic pewter
#

sounds good

sick sentinel
#

when you guys are saying to craft bracers

#

you mean smithing or engineering

toxic pewter
#

generally blacksmithing with embelishment

#

shadowflame patch or I think some people do the versatility embelishment when you are near allies

winged flume
#

can anyone give me the link to T31 WA?

#

for the christ of me i cant find it

toxic pewter
#

under protection section called T31 Tierset Tracker

cosmic wyvern
#

I could also convert champion gloves/chest to tier and use the ksm token for the other slot

#

but I don't know if I want to waste a catalyst charge on champion gear

winged flume
maiden ravine
#

does 2p proc a lot?

sick sentinel
#

does the ilvl of crafted item make shadowflame patch dmg go up

maiden ravine
#

oh, that pin sounds so weird on how it works

strong forum
#

2pc procs as much as 20 times per minute

#

Depending in how well you play

maiden ravine
#

that's a lot of roar cdr, nice

strong forum
#

~40% CDR on average

blazing condor
#

crazy how BRH has such good rings

#

for ring combo

mild sorrel
#

For m+ sim it’s 5 patchwerk 1-1.5 mins only my buffs ?

pallid quiver
mild sorrel
#

Okay so pretty much its a ball park sim then

lusty grotto
#

in general your settings are correct

mild sorrel
#

Okay

sick sentinel
#

im just curious what we are going to do with future crafts

#

past intial cloak bracer

lusty grotto
#

whatever you need that you dont have access to

sick sentinel
#

if everything is just bad compared to 489

lusty grotto
#

if you cant hit mythic track items

#

you can craft anything

pallid quiver
#

Gear patchup, as well, since they'll be higher ilvl than non-upgraded myth track items

sick sentinel
#

i can hit them, but i will also hit 200 blood pressure

#

i just feel like for now i'll keep the shadow flames where they are/were (shield and waist)

#

is it for all tanks shadow flame is simply the best? probably for alot of dps and maybe even some aggresive healers?

bleak breach
#

Still no god damn 4pc

#

Got all duplicate tier in vault and a 480 haste vers ring with avoidance so took that

#

Blizz hates me

mossy bridge
#

has anyone got the spell reflect wa that tells you the dmg it done and shows in chat

sick sentinel
#

change them over to the serious ones if i start doing constant 18s

lusty tiger
#

Bracers and cloak are pretty good +% damage and dr

slow pawn
#

nothing you can cata should be 2 cata charges and ksm/aotc so thats at least three

#

with tier in vault should be there

sick sentinel
#

i had tier in the vault but it was LFR

#

so lame

#

i got hosed, oh well

#

minus 1 gem

maiden ravine
#

2 catalyst charges and your KSM/AotC token

sick sentinel
#

oh damn u get one for ksm

slow pawn
#

yep

#

just 13s both weeks

#

or some mix of higher

thin silo
#

is there any precedence/intel on whether we'll need to be in a dps lootspec to have a shot at the Axe, or will it have a chance to drop based on class instead?

slow pawn
#

raid it dont really matter I think but it is peronal loot so maybe be in arms?

sick sentinel
#

i can get ksm like nothin

slow pawn
#

should be able to just do some 16s or 18s

#

TOTT sucks on dog packs in fortified tho

#

and that first hallway

sick sentinel
#

throne is just a nasty key overall

#

just kick it, yaya, inb4

#

forked lightning

#

immediately comes to mind in that dungeon

slow pawn
#

last boss I struggled with cause dps werent clearing pools effectively

sick sentinel
#

that shit used to hurt ALOT bigly,

slow pawn
#

but its fort week so

#

totem boss we are actually good at dealing with

#

its always the cata dungeons that suck I got my timed 20 last week there on tyrannical so never again

You can do more

grand veldt
#

I'm almost 2.8k

#

My fort keys were low so I should get close to 3k this week I think

opaque quest
sick sentinel
#

no

opaque quest
#

Boring. Pushing ones self to the limits is fun

sick sentinel
#

taxing lol

opaque quest
#

Ye our limits get smaller as we grow older

blazing condor
#

worst part about having a lot of raid items as bis is that you gotta clear raid before picking vault

prisma crane
#

tbh

#

not this early in the season

#

get your gear now, use that upgrade to make getting better gear easier

#

plus, in your example, worse case scenario you got your best vault upgrade and replaced it with something even better

blazing condor
#

well if i get a fyrakk wep and a smolderon trinket - i'd wanna run both of those to see if i can get one of them and pick the other

onyx needle
#

Is it better to use Soph-Devotion or Shadowflame Wreathe on Gholak?

jagged pier
#

Wafing

prisma crane
#

i use the haste one

#

wafting, yea

pallid quiver
#

so you just tack mythic track tier every week

vocal flame
#

Is Gholak on the timewalking weekly rotation cache? That would be funny

pallid quiver
#

It should be

#

Like, if it's on the loot table and vaultable, it should be in the caches

#

it'd only be norm, but

vocal flame
#

true

median tulip
#

Guys, is there any reason not to choose the PvP version of the gear when turning in the Emerald Mark of Mastery for 2k rating/killing HC Fyrakk? It's not harder to upgrade PvP gear or anything?

opaque quest
#

Last season it was lower ilvl

#

But if you dont care about that just choose PVP gear for the elite transmogg

#

Thats what i did aswell

#

They are both Hero 1/6

Is TC > SS in prio now? What’s our optimal damage?

timber nest
#

Can I get the Lego axe personal looted me if I’m loot spec prot?

#

@modern gazelle no? Why would SS be worse than TC?

modern gazelle
#

Wasn’t sure with new tier set

vocal nimbus
#

keep slammin

waxen orbit

What do I take

#

?

#

Gloves are 4pc

#

But Mirror

Goated

timber nest
#

Mirror isn’t bis

vocal nimbus
#

try simming

timber nest
#

Take gloves

vocal nimbus
#

if you are raiding mythic you will get gloves rather soon

sick sentinel
#

revenge should simply be improved ww for prot

#

either its a talent or baseline

#

and then, who knows with slam, but we need ppl to stop casting slam as prot, im sure someone did it

chilly brook
#

isn't slam replaced by shield slam for prot?

sick sentinel
#

somehow, there is some dude, as a prot warrior with regular slam on his bars casting it some times

#

i garuntee it

#

same as WW it just hangs out in the warrior spells doing nothing

mild sorrel
#

Slam da da da let the boys be boys

sick sentinel
#

again, slam should talent or baseline directly into improved slam, shield slam

warm plinth
pallid quiver
#

Slams a no spec ability, so errybody's gotta keep it

#

even though i don't think any warrior spec presses the button more than once a season

warm plinth
#

Fury does depending on their build

median tulip
#

It's an artefact of the "unpruning" from a few years ago. They "unpruned" a couple of useless abilities so we could all spend time telling newbies to remove them from their bars.

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

theres some builds that you cant really do slams as either arms or fury

median tulip
#

Arms and Fury technically have Slam, but I think you have to really spec for it to be even halfway useful. Arms in particular is GCD capped.

sick sentinel
#

the problem is the long cast bar

#

its like marksman aimed shot build

karmic plinth
#

move slam off gcd so it can be heroic strike from wish xan

median tulip
chilly brook
#

Even for arms

sick sentinel
#

it does a huge amount of dmg, but if ur not los for hunter, or out of range for warrior, the cast doesn't go through and you deal no dmg

#

so, its like,

chilly brook
#

Less if you spec SoS but it’s used quite a bit in single target with FoB m+ build

median tulip
timber nest
#

big fyrakk weapon

sick sentinel
#

oh ya nvm no cast on slam

#

when did it get removed which patch

pallid quiver
#

hm

#

world's revolving around me

29% up time in a key with crab

blissful iris
#

i kinda miss our old tier set.. i feel like my damage all around has gone down with new set even with the huge ilvl upgrades

dim token
#

how do u allocate defensives for oakheart?

blissful iris
#

thunderlord and and have a demoralizing shout for every one plus any extra buttons if its real bad and im low

pallid quiver
# dim token how do u allocate defensives for oakheart?

You should start by leaping every breath so you don't use actual DR on it. From there, you need to cycle your proper DRs in order to get through. On notable key levels, you should also Defensive Stance for all grips.
An example could be that you use Shield Wall + Reflect for the first one, LS + IV and Reflect for the second, shield wall could be back up again for the third, and so on

dim token
#

omg the breath can be dodged

#

i think that's why

pallid quiver
#

For the record, you can also leap out of Deios' breath, as well

dim token
#

yea i know about the drake but didnt know about oakheart

#

then i think im fine

#

u cant jus walk out of it?

pallid quiver
#

I don't really recall how long Oak's is, but I wager it's a bit too much of a run

#

Since I'm pretty sure it needs to be a max range leap

dim token
#

it's 30 sec a breath + grip

#

oh so u leap backward instead of leaping aside

pallid quiver
#

it'd be funny if you lept to the side tho

#

I don't think the DPS and Healer would like that

median tulip
pallid quiver
#

but it'd be funny

#

If there's ever a frontal that doesn't track the tank, you really shouldn't be getting hit by that, so anytime a new frontal comes out, you should baseline see if it tracks you. If it does, you can try experimenting with outranging it

dim token
#

just checked the logs, apparently the top warrior ran leap CDR just to leap this thing

pallid quiver
#

i mean i run it at all times but

vocal flame
#

second week in a row baby!! I am soooooo lucky 😦

dim token
#

not a lot to choose from

warm plinth
#

Pain and gain

pallid quiver
#

^^^

median tulip
#

I don't run fear or pzin and gain TBH

pallid quiver
#

i don't think i've used pain and gain the entire xpac

warm plinth
#

You don't run fear? Wat

#

Why wouldn't you

median tulip
#

Because I have a static and we are not short of hard stops

warm plinth
#

But like...what is even worth running instead

pallid quiver
#

berserker rage so that you can pretend that nothing's wrong and return to the good ol days of it being baseline

dim token
#

pain and gain gives a good 3k hps isnt it decent for one point

pallid quiver
#

also if i ran with enough like enhancement level stop classes, I'd drop it for Pain and Gain, probably

median tulip
#

I've got Sidearm and the Leap CDR currently

warm plinth
#

Not really. I mean it's fine but no shot I'd run it over fear

pallid quiver
#

It's not the worst point in the tree, but it's not gonna save your life

warm plinth
#

I have those too

pallid quiver
#

Particularly in M+, you save more overall damage by interrupting something with fear than pain and gain would heal back through the entire key, most likely

median tulip
karmic timber
#

I'm 6.6k haste atm.. would you recommend changing some gems/enchants to vers or is it good to keep like this?

#

id recommend

median tulip

In general, there's maybe 2 or 3 points where the damage gets actually serious in any given dungeon

high aspen

going from 6.6k haste

Not really. Bring enough Interrupts and you're good. WCM is the easiest key this season IMO. Just know the mechanics of the bosses and you're good

Shit to do in BRH: have someone capable of removing the Spiders thing that stacks up. Have stuns or other stops for the Scouts and Archers AoE abilities. Have enough Cleave for thinning down the bats.

albeit ive never done a brh higher than 19 (which was easy +2)

but i have yet to fail a single brh

Any tips of how to handle 2nd boss in Everbloom properly, been struggling a lot of this week in 17-20. I just feel soo uneasy if I don't have all my cds before the fight. Might just be because I am still low geared 463 without 4set.

lusty grotto
#

it was nerfed in NA

#

by 25%

#

also spell block

#

should be more than doable

#

spell block and if spell block isnt up, wall+SR

#

should be nerfed in EU by reset

#

also its fortified week which means it wont really hurt

blazing condor
#

did they remove the bugged spot?

lusty grotto
#

there's also a los tech

#

but...

median tulip

I ran IO for it last week. It certainly stings, but rotating CDs is the way.

Been back for a minute, but I’m playing again now

That sounds like a weeb game

It sounds like a Quality Game

#

i know we are doing 2pc for 2pc then 2pc - 4pc etc but I am able to replace my old 2pc for new 2pc and my sim dps goes up 20k does that seem right? its about a 40-50ilevel increase from the old pieces

blazing condor
#

Doesnt seem unreasonable

drowsy mango
#

guys i've looked, where do i find priority crafts?

pallid quiver
#

faqs

drowsy mango
#

oh faq me

pallid quiver
#

That being said,

#

Bracers/Cloak if you can get other pieces at Mythic track eventually

#

Since those won't be replaced with mythic track gear eventually

drowsy mango
#

my cloak sucks, so maybe that first

pallid quiver
#

Other options are weapon/shield to patch those in coming days or to just patch lower ilvl gear; Bracers/Cloaks are the 100% value options, though

drowsy mango
#

ok great thank you, i'll have a think

cinder nova
#

What are our ideal tier slots

#

Obv helm/shoulders

lusty grotto
#

not helm

cinder nova
#

Really?

pallid quiver
#

helm'

cinder nova
#

Intradasting

pallid quiver
#

s like vers mastery

#

with a focus on the mastery

marble cipher
#

crit/mast on helm, but yeah

cinder nova
#

I'm just looking at ilvl

#

And budget

lusty grotto
#

everything else has haste so yea

pallid quiver
#

Me, personally,

#

I have helm because it's myth track

#

Thoughts on Ember of Nullification? Maybe I'm biased towards raw stats, but I like the thing.

pallid quiver
#

so uh, that's not likely to leave anytime soon

warm plinth
raw parcel
#

Better than the shitty crab I was using, if nothing else okayge

strong forum
#

Outclassed by every raid trinket

raw parcel
#

I don't raid, so I gotta make do with what I can find in keys.

warm plinth
#

Ember basically had one niche and it's not present in this season.

#

Which was the shade encounter in upper kara

strong forum
#

It's mega free to pug and normal raid trinkets shit on every m+ trinket except rezans

raw parcel
#

Bah, humbug. I don't wanna. Really wish they'd stop putting the best trinkets in raid so I feel like I have to.

dire sparrow
#

pretty sure i take Atal ring, but technically catalysing the belt is a bigger upgrade on sims, I'm conflicted.

cinder nova

Is there a point where we stop enchanting/gemming haste?

what gives

cinder nova
#

Yeah.

Can you link

#

Team, I tank keys, and play arms in raid - which should I take?

hardy snow
#

is Instigate more dmg on st than Impenetrable Wall due to its rage gen?

grand veldt
#

Signet is dog shit for keys

#

Trellsky said they tried to stay in combat the entire dungeon and could barely squeak dps out of it

lofty nexus
#

oh

warm plinth
strong forum
#

Pick Signet

#

It's omega bis

lofty nexus
#

kk

pallid quiver
#

there's nome with the direct opposite of the fellow from earlier :L

warm plinth
#

I assume he means for arms in raid maybe?

#

Idk. Heard very conflicting information about signet tbh

#

Some say it's great, some say it's trash

pallid quiver
#

It does poo poo water damage until it's fully stacked from what I understand

warm plinth
#

Like class discords I mean. They disagree on it

pallid quiver
#

after that, it pumps a little good

strong forum
#

Signet takes skill to maintain but ultra dmg if you can do so, letting it drop 1 or 2 times is fine

strong forum
#

It's by far the strongest trinket in the game

pallid quiver
#

I've only heard from TC type people that it's bungo good if you stack it

#

and then i hear from random other people that say it's terrible

strong forum
#

It's terrible if you pull slow

#

It's insane if you pull quick

pallid quiver
#

so i'm knee jerk inclined to think most aren't keeping stacks

strong forum
#

Correct

#

I will go over corpses to get signet

strong forum
#

Poor paraphrasing

hardy snow
#

As Ive seen logs from raid - its not that great as it is in sims, perhaps something is wrong like with ursine trinket

strong forum
#

It Sims over 5 minutes, if your boss fight is not that long, it's not that good

#

And the longer the fight is, the better signet becomes

bleak breach
#

@strong forum is there a point where I should start gemming/enchanting anything other then haste?

strong forum
#

When sim tells you to

bleak breach
#

Okie dokie

#

I’m at 6.3k haste atm was all and around 2.5k vers and crit

hardy snow
#

I know, Ive meant properly long fights

strong forum
#

Then it should perform as advertised?

#

Should do roughly around 11-13k dps

hardy snow
#

Well, ursine also "should" perform as advertised 🤷‍♂️

strong forum
#

No, ursine is bugged

#

Signet is not

#

Also reminder that 50% of the strength of ursine is in its stat gain

#

Not just the dmg proc

hardy snow
#

I know, but droping stacks is bugged af

strong forum
#

So you'll never truly "see" it's value

hardy snow
#

especially in raid

strong forum
#

Correct

hardy snow
#

and I guess its good in sims because sims doesnt drop stacks keks

strong forum
#

Well yeah

#

It's simming based on how it should perform

hardy snow
#

Im keeping my in bag until Blizz fix it

strong forum
#

I use it in m+

hardy snow
#

after first try to fix its good in M+

strong forum
#

Cuz it's still better bugged than anvil in most keys

hardy snow
#

but still dogshit in raid

strong forum
#

Still get like 3.5k dps from ursine + the stat gain from it

#

So it's better than anvil

hardy snow
#

yea, in keys its fine

median tulip
strong forum
#

Raid is still anvil + shalamayne for me

#

Cuz I refuse to use mirror

hardy snow
#

I have anvil and augury, untill fyrakk 1st kill I was still running beacon cause no luck in atal XD

bleak breach
#

I’ve got a vet quality eye of rezan and a heroic branch

#

Replaced beacon and anvil week 1

lusty grotto
hardy snow
#

I was fine waiting for something good, when good means augury wicked

bleak breach
#

I took heroic branch, we had 3 drop off him week 1 and it was a reasonable upgrade

median tulip
#

The problem with the Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows is that - because it adds Rating, but based on your highest secondary - it has a very distinct tendency to lose a bunch of value to Diminishing Returns

im not doing a lot of ST

Much rather have it be a 1.5min cd for half the stats, way more useful for a tank

yeah honestly 2nd boss in DHT seems the only scary boss for tanks

tanks overall

also ppal has bug where you still take damage through bubble so it absolutely fucks palas

Do you count as being in consecration while you're getting your balls grabbed?

nope

With 4p we're back to pressing LS as a defensive yeah?

it depleted my 24 today

because ppal got obliterated

it's gonna be fixed on reset

What you guys picking, Wafting Devtion or Sophic Devotion for your weapon enchants? Wafting sounds sexy but seeing top tier players maining sophic.

You can just sim it

craggy condor

I guess i could do that

Well the choice for me isn't sim-able. Because it's a question of a cheat death or a more constant effect, and that cheat death can be nice to have.

need some help simming, i have embelish on my waist currently at 447, i havent crafted anything yet and have a myth track waist in my vault with speed, but its not simming as good i think because i have embelish on my current waist

#

should i remove embelish to properly sim since i will be putting embelish on my gear?

#

i also have myth gloves that i set as catalyst ( currently have 4pc but could upgrade gloves to myth tier if i cata the vault ones)

lusty grotto
#

if you havent crafted, you need to run gear compare

#

and add the item

#

and add the items that you have on vault or w/e

#

and remember to set the sim options to what we use

odd flint
#

is there an addon to track when fervid bite procs

you dont really need to be notified of it if youre playing correctly

all you gotta remember is to reapply rend with TC

too much tracking for something that doesnt need it

use the WA from the faq, thats it

The Signet Brand, in a +16 Fall, did 4.5% of my damage, 5.45m. So not bad

is gift of ursine still bugged?

would have to check my logs from today

pallid quiver

Just looking at details, it doesn't look like I ever hit full stacks in raid so far

#

Since I never got the heal to kick in

toxic pewter
#

is it ursine bugged for all classes or just us or wat

lusty grotto
#

still bugged yea

#

for all classes yes

#

so listen its still str stacks so its good

#

its just not as good it should be

modern gazelle
#

should be one our bis once its fixed though right?

#

i feell ike ill prob run rage+brand though

pallid quiver

nah, augury and signet hard to compete with

It's just a strong trinket

Rage does really nice damage with 0 effort

Feels like it does more then sims, but then again I’m only thinking of trink damage, not the main stat

you can jump away from it

Ok sorry all good

toxic pewter
#

They nerfed deios today

#

Should be a lot easier

sick sentinel
toxic pewter
#

I am anti leaping away on that boss personally

modern gazelle
#

leaping assumes people will position properly and not die to you leapiong too

cinder nova
#

Is it still ideal to execute as hard as we can with 4p

#

Feels kinda clunky when we hit 20%

#

since I'm not flushed with rage the set proc isn't as prolific

toxic pewter
#

Honestly I prioritize 4pc fervid procs over execute

#

Execute suks ass

#

I just keep ferviding

grim pilot
toxic pewter
#

Deios was nerfed today and its fort so dont have to go leaping around at all. Just rotate defensives

grim pilot
#

you didn't have to leap on tyra either unless it's some rather high tyra key, but it made your life easier

#

same goes for now

toxic pewter
#

In a pug it’s more risky tbh better to just use defensives well

#

It’s a bad call to encourage the leaping

cinder nova
toxic pewter
#

Ya ip ss tc ip ss tc

#

Execute is basically revenge under 20%

novel temple
#

So the bracers aren’t any good for embellishments?

cinder nova
#

Is that the best DPS tho?

#

I kinda hope it is because execute feels clownshoes atm

toxic pewter
#

Execute dps sucks ass

#

I prio everything over execute these days lmao

#

Just keep the tier set flowing in my opinion

novel temple
#

Wait, does execute dps really suck that bad?

pallid quiver
#

It'

#

It's a lot worse than it used to be

#

It got hit a little bit coming from SL

toxic pewter
#

Just use execute to get a ss proc

#

So you can tier set more

#

Just like revenge

lusty grotto
#

i mean it makes no difference

toxic pewter
#

Always be ferviding

novel temple
#

Then why’s the guides say go SD

lusty grotto
#

you execute over revenge

#

thats it

cinder nova
#

Yeah but the thing is that IP procs it 90% of the time

#

Anything else is 15%

lusty grotto
#

so?

#

you still revenge

#

so you still execute

#

very little, but you still do

pallid quiver
toxic pewter
#

Just to get ss reset

cinder nova
#

Why though? I feel like saving IP for fervid is more dam per whack, no?

pallid quiver
#

so it's more damage still, but it's not STONKS damage

lusty grotto
#

saving IP?

toxic pewter
#

Revenge and execute are to get ss resets

lusty grotto
#

why

#

you have rage

novel temple
#

I do remember going juggernaut in SL with banner before

#

That was fun af

#

Reprisal not fun but it was good

#

hey @lusty grotto what was the haste again to take ITV , im at 5942 37%

cinder nova
#

And then everything slows down.

lusty grotto
#

5400

quartz mist
#

oh im well over sheesh

cinder nova
#

Like, not only am I SSing less after I go dry, I'm proccing fervid less

lusty grotto
#

but keep in mind its totally acceptable to still run HR if youre not used to managing uptime

#

S bro

toxic pewter
#

Only execute to get a ss reset lol. Otherwise spam ip and ss with fervid

lusty grotto
#

wtf?

quartz mist
#

yeah I do like the uptime , thanks mate

lusty grotto
#

youre not using execute to trigger anything

#

nothing has changed

#

youre using it for SS resets

#

NOTHING has changed with execute

#

execute takes revenge's place in prio

#

thats basic s1 prio

#

IP has nothing to do with it

#

IP is ogcd

cinder nova
#

I think you're not... understanding the discussion.

#

Nim's going to the geriatric old people home

lusty grotto
#

youre going dry cause youre mashing IP for no reason

cinder nova
#

I'm not.

#

I literally prio Execute in 20%

lusty grotto
#

ok then explain

cinder nova
#

And dry

#

And then I get so many less fervids

#

Way less

lusty grotto
#

why

#

are

#

you

#

prio'ing

#

execute

#

when its SS>TC>Rev/Exe

#

you should have so many resets that an execute will barely happen

cinder nova
#

So 4p does change it

lusty grotto
#

the prio has been like that since s1

cinder nova
#

Really? I thought it stayed SS > Ex > TC @ 20%

lusty grotto
#

you just have more TC resets

#

and more SS resets due to it

cinder nova
#

And outside of 20% you're SS > TC > Exe proc > Rev

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

thats not at all what it was

cinder nova
#

I'm still living in SL

#

Where Exe mattered

lusty grotto
#

F

pallid quiver
#

It not only mattered, we had a lot of off GCD rage gen

lusty grotto
#

well at least execute matters now kind of for arms

pallid quiver
#

both those together made a lot more execute casts

cinder nova
#

Good to know, then.

#

It's a wonder I get 99s or CE

lusty grotto
#

well as long as you ss on cd

#

also remember the number of prots at that level is small

cinder nova
#

Yeah.

#

the number of prots* ftfy

#

The only time I see people playing PWarr en masse is when they're unequivocally bananas.

lusty grotto
#

it do be like that

cinder nova
#

Any other time it's like we got one of the smallest tank pops

#

I remember seeing BrM take that mantle once or twice though

lusty grotto
#

well its also the fact that most people use brews and bdks for mythic progs

cinder nova
#

They've caught some dog-ass Ls in the past.

lusty grotto
#

and stay with them for reclears

#

and no doubt this season there will be a lot of prot pallies due to liquid and stuff

cinder nova
#

That's another thing

bleak breach
#

99s are life

#

Where the hundos

cinder nova
#

I NEVER see RTWF actually boost PWarr pop unless - again - obviously busted as hell and doing WORK.

#

S1 SL nobody rerolled PWarr

#

Although I guess for them PWarr was shout bot

#

Just to elevate WW memes

pallid quiver
#

S1 DF there was a lot of Prot War rerollers at the start

#

Then they instantly died for pink class time

lusty grotto
#

the reason you might be seeing prot pallies, when you consider it, is because MW is doing great so they already have mystic touch there

cinder nova
#

That fits the "busted as fuck" metric.

#

We were pretty far ahead for a bit there.

bleak breach
#

Yeah S1 we were good

cinder nova
#

ShCh crit dam talent bug go brrrr

#

Actually imba'd

lusty grotto
#

RWFs use a lot of buff matrixes, so thats a big deal

#

if they have a fury/arms to cover battle shout and rally, they dont need a prot warrior

#

that is, unless we're absolutely disgustingly broken

#

and other buffs are covered

grizzled nova
#

rally was giga in sl tho

grizzled nova
#

that conduit made it like a 25% maxhp

lusty grotto
#

a buff matrix is kind of a kiss and a curse

#

a kiss in that you want at least one person playing x class

#

a curse in that, you want no more than one unless flat out broken in damage

#

like for example

#

and i think max actually mentioned this? or idk if it was scripe

#

they used a feral druid in both comps

#

not a boomy

#

or rdruid

#

only to cover for motw

#

boomys are actually doing good ST now

#

but there's no place for them

grizzled nova
#

well yeh that's just basic maths tho

#

druid #1 is worth giga damage

lusty grotto
#

cause they need spots for rogues/DH/hunter

grizzled nova
#

druid #2 is just whatever druids do sans motw

#

same for every other buff

lusty grotto
#

yeah so the point is, echo/liquid coincided in that a feral was good

#

because it fits the melee role, making space for hunters

#

does decent damage

#

benefits slightly from the 2 WFs

#

or the one in their group

#

other guilds use boomies, depending on their roster

#

or an rdruid etc

grizzled nova
#

I think the biggest consideration for feral is just that their dps was as good as boomkin and they're in a better position for roar

lusty grotto
#

yeah would make sense

#

and also because BM hunters are big

#

they double up on any class whose dps is big right now

#

so

#

2x rogues

quartz mist
#

should we tab target once we use the bleeds into fervid bite , or not worth cycling through and just reapply

lusty grotto
#

2x hunters

#

2x DH

grizzled nova
#

bleeds are only consumed off the target you shield slam

pallid quiver
#

so i learned today that you can fall off the edge in Nymue's fight

lusty grotto
#

you only gotta remember to TC to reapply rend, devastator will deep wounds

pallid quiver
#

You can see it's a platform

#

and yet i still just didn't realize

novel temple

But, for embellishments, is shadowflame that much better than any others?
