😔

#

it's real hard to adapt to using ST spells in aoe

#

coming from dps

cinder nova
#

I've literally been playing wrong the entire xpack keks

#

I do not deserve even half the M prog I bagged

#

Shadowlands did things to me

undone verge
#

Execute feels so bad this expansion. They need to reverse the nerfs they gave it in beta

lusty grotto
#

never too late to learn something new lol

#

it does feel bad

cinder nova
#

Honestly.

woven torrent
#

erm

cinder nova
#

I want Exec to blast again

woven torrent
#

are we not suppposed to use execute

#

😭

lusty grotto
#

we are, its just dead last in prio

cinder nova
#

You just exchange it for Revenge at 20%

woven torrent
#

oh yeah

#

i mean like at 20%

lusty grotto
#

ā˜ļø

woven torrent
#

if boss doesnt hit hard

#

i start executing instead of IB no?

lusty grotto
#

NO

cinder nova
#

I was living in S4 SL with bannergang where Execute was basically your only button outside of big CDs and SS

woven torrent
#

or do u still ib for almost guaranteed set

lusty grotto
#

if by IB you mean IP

#

no

woven torrent
#

oh ye mb

cinder nova
#

Execute phase doesn't shift any of our skills on priority

#

Just swaps Revenge for Exec

lusty grotto
#

IP is off gcd, you still do it when youre about to cap rage

woven torrent
#

oh ok

#

so ive been doing it wrong too LMAO

lusty grotto
#

rev/exe are just SS proc fishers

woven torrent
#

the logic in my brain just tells me

#

aoe spell for aoe
execute spell for execute prio

cinder nova
#

You'd think they'd make the big 20% EXECUTE button our best button at that point.

#

But I guess blizzard hates PWarr ramping

woven torrent
#

i dont wanna learn raid bosses tanking

#

but i hate using the new set on fury man..

cinder nova
#

This raid is easy.

chrome falcon
#

ok is this stupid ursine vengeance trinket good

#

i've heard so much about bugs/sims being wrong

jagged blade
cinder nova
#

Yes*

*but it's bugged

undone verge
lusty grotto
#

its good, its bugged, but you still get STR stacks

jagged blade
#

"Learn" just taunt swap when the robot lady tells you

lusty grotto
#

you just wont reliably hit 30 stacks because of the bug

cinder nova
#

There's more to it than that, frankly.

cinder nova
#

How you position in some fights can make it a world easier.

woven torrent
#

i never played tank ever in raid

#

bigwigs tells u to actually swap

#

lel

jagged blade
#

Exactly dudeee

cinder nova
#

I wouldn't solely rely on BigWigs/DBM

woven torrent
#

ye ofc i just thought i'd have to always track it and it'd be a pain

#

in heroics

cinder nova
#

I mean, you do. Some fights it's pretty fast swaps

#

Not many though

#

M Volc jaws kinda fast

jagged blade
#

Yeah I'm being silly you need at least a couple IQ points sometimes

cinder nova
#

Like a lot faster than H and way faster than N

#

It sneaks up on you. I haven't missed one yet, but when I taunt and he hits almost immediately after the GCD

#

I'm realizing that it's dummy fast

restive scroll
#

The only difficulty of tank raiding is surviving sometimes.
So basically, when you're understuff.
Maybe in some mythic fights

#

Maybe some positionning, but you have to do that with all classes, don't you?

cinder nova
#

When all your DPS overlap you with the bombs on gnarl

uneven mason
cinder nova
#

Oh, like SS making it a big single hit

uneven mason
#

Yeah

#

Like ss increases the damage of your next execute

restive scroll
#

Btw, did I dream it, or wasn't SS dispelling effects once upon a time

restive scroll
#

Thought so, thanks

#

I miss that

uneven mason
#

Used to dispell 2 magic effects

restive scroll
#

that was damn nice

hardy snow
uneven mason
#

They removed the dispell from SS because gladiator warriors could kill ret paladins through bubble with it

restive scroll
#

xD

uneven mason
#

Not even kidding

restive scroll
#

Sounds fun to me :p

uneven mason
#

Glad on WOD release is the largest nerf overreaction in wow history

#

They dropped the damage by like 40%, removed the dispell and had them take more damage

#

Almost killed prot as a spec

#

You can sometimes never get full stacks, can sometimes work, fine

#

So it's still pretty decent, but not as strong as it sims

jagged gust
#

BRH you just gotta keep your ass glued to the healer and hope they dispel quick enough

uneven mason
#

Also dwarf

raw parcel
jagged gust
#

Dwarf is a huge dps loss, and by dps I mean transmogs

raw parcel
#

My first 60 was a dwarf, back in early 2005. Before I had any taste. I didn't realize how fugly he was.

lusty grotto
#

traitor

raw parcel
#

I had to take him behind a barn and put him down like a balding, ginger Old Yeller.

pallid quiver
#

I think there's someone with an incorrect opinion around here

#

More than a few, even

jagged blade
#

U are so foolish for calling dwarves ugly

lusty grotto
#

100%

#

have fun with bleeds then

#

All about that human master race.

Learn some transmog sweaty šŸ’…

Let your beard flow.. it's that shrimple

uneven mason

#

highmountain tauren not being alliance was a huge miss

plush tendon
#

Dwarf is cool, but it does get boring a bit quick ngl

raw parcel
#

As opposed to the Horde's selection of giant, fugly, furry monstrosities? ...and blood elves, who are like 80% of the faction.

grim pilot
#

Their dance is goated

plush tendon
#

and limited great tmog options

grim pilot
#

Best dance in the game

plush tendon
#

though it looks steller in some

#

just dont be surprised when CE guilds are asking their raiders to 'seriously consider' going Dwarf for Fyrakk prog

jagged gust
#

It's not the belf's fault they're beautiful and the only horde race who isn't a literal monster

grim pilot
#

No way ce asks that xd

#

Regular ce guild

jagged blade
#

All u have to do as a dwarf is not put giant bulging pieces of metal on your chestpiece and then you look cool

plush tendon
#

already a third of more of my raid are dwarf for keys and such

uneven mason
raw parcel
#

Blood elves saved the horde. Anyone who thinks otherwise didn't play back in the day. Way more alliance than horde because no one wanted to play a fugly hunchback or a cow.

plush tendon
#

the race is actually broken in PVE content

#

I wouldnt be suprised if they get the arcane torrent treatment next expac

lusty grotto
#

i dont think it'll matter

jagged gust
#

Ally's can have their fun in the sun, horde had their glory days with orcs and trolls being OP for long enough

uneven mason
#

I mean nelf are more broken

lusty grotto
#

as long as people keep paying for race changs, dwarves and NE racials will remain in the game

uneven mason
#

But not for tanks

lusty grotto
#

and they will keep making bleeds

plush tendon
#

well its not just bleeds

#

its everything

lusty grotto
#

right

uneven mason
raw parcel
#

Oh yeah? Well... I can break out of stuns, so.. there.

plush tendon
#

plus the 2% crit damage

lusty grotto
#

garbage

plush tendon
#

and diplomacy is wicked

uneven mason
#

Course NGL, I have a warrior of every race

#

But the gnomes

jagged blade
#

Thinking of rerolling as dwarf just for the magnificent beard šŸ’Ŗ

jagged gust
#

female gnomes are probably the best thing that happened to this game, whenever I get transformed into one from that toy the battlecries she makes have me crying

uneven mason
#

They better give dwarven women beards in the next xpac

pallid quiver
#

The new dorf women do have beards

#

there was female dorf models they showed that did

I don't think I've ever commented on topic of discussions in PWarr, but holy shit please do not let us descend into goonery

It's not the same! No glowing eyes, skin ain't purple, no gigantic ears.

Illidan simped for 10,000 years. And I get it.

cinder nova

Illidan is a jabroni

plush tendon
#

Actual factual

cinder nova
#

Didn't just simp, he full-on orbitted

raw parcel
#

Well his gaggle of wannabe cosplayers are currently beating us. Which does make me legit angy.

cinder nova

Imagine orbitting for 10,000 years

but still.... I get it

#

Look at the numbers, friendo. It's just facts, VDH needs a battering from the nerf bat.

plush tendon
#

eh, I would say a bat

#

more like.... I little squirt in the face with a water filled windex bottle

uneven mason
cinder nova
#

I think he means damage-wise.

#

They are ahead of us in ST

uneven mason
#

Their kit revolves around surviving through damage, that's ok

raw parcel
#

Yeah, but the top pwar is pretty lonely up there, surrounded by Illidan cosplayers. Or was last I looked.

cinder nova
#

It's by about 20-50K depending on the fight.

#

I think the lowest gap is around 10K

plush tendon
#

tank balance is very fine overall

#

tank meta is gonna be 90% decided on dps and healer meta

mild sorrel
#

Let’s all just boycott pwar and maybe blizzard will see the next meters with zero of us on it.

jagged gust
#

Havoc is the true outlier

chilly brook
#

Honestly who cares just play what you want to play

median niche
#

should you upgrade your item before you make it into tier or does it not matter?

cinder nova
#

Because it feels poopoo putting in extra work to do 3/4ths the return.

chilly brook
cinder nova
#

We can all be here to play PWarr, sweat as hard as we can, and still have valid criticisms of how much damage two notable outliers are doing simultaneously.

#

These are mutually exclusive concepts.

chilly brook
#

If you feel inferior for playing something that requires more effort for less results then play the thing that doesn’t

cinder nova
#

It's not a matter of feel, it's a matter of data lol.

chilly brook
#

You misunderstand

median niche
#

so you can upgrade the item after you made it into tier?

chilly brook
#

If said data bothers you

#

There’s a simple solution

cinder nova
#

Matt just out here only taking nuclear options.

chilly brook
#

Yes I woke up and chose violence today

cinder nova
#

No, just chose to make clownshoes retorts.

raw parcel
#

One can think that there is a balance issue, and comment on it, while continuing to play the spec they enjoy rather than the flavor of the month.

cinder nova
#

"reroll" is also kinda a goofy take

jagged gust
#

S channeling their inner Jordan today

chilly brook
#

Brother I’m just tired of seeing it

#

We literally see this shit every patch

plush tendon
#

when you reroll, you get the VDH leap into pack and get insta one shot memes

cinder nova
#

I dunno, it wasn't this big of a difference S1.

#

Then again

chilly brook
#

Because S1 people erroneously said we were meta

cinder nova
#

Yeah, I was gonna say.

#

Even though PPal was sleeper

jagged gust
#

erroneously lmfao

cinder nova
#

It was blasting

chilly brook
#

Prot pally was better

jagged gust
#

nah, meta is meta because the people say it is

chilly brook
#

Well there’s perception and what actually develops

cinder nova
#

To be clear, Matt, I'm not saying we gotta be top - or even top 3 - lord knows I could give a fuck as long as we haven't hit Survival hunter levels unplayable, I'm gonna be a warrior.

chilly brook
#

We fell off throughout the season and pally rose to the top

cinder nova
#

But seeing gulfs of damage disparity is annoying

#

For all the same reasons people are stink-eyeing assassin in ST and Havoc in M+

plush tendon
#

I know Ass ST is strong, but isnt there a problem in Warcraftlogs and Ass+Aug?

cinder nova
#

Is there?

plush tendon
#

something to do with not correctly allocating damage

#

idk, I dont play rogue

#

and aug evoker is a tragedy of a spec that should be sent to the shadowrealm for all I care

cinder nova
#

the real question is why didn't this MW cleanse or tiger's me with 12 stacks of dreadpollen on a 21

plush tendon
#

or is unaware of what the dot does

chilly brook
#

Assassination kinda fucks in m+ too tbh

cinder nova
#

Don't they need resets

plush tendon
#

yea, our Ass one trick is loving this patch

cinder nova
#

I hate rogues that need resets

chilly brook
cinder nova
#

Feels dookie breaking flow just to let them reset

lusty grotto
#

wasnt resets just sub

cinder nova
#

I know it's more damage

#

but fuck I hate it

#

I just had one ask me for resets

lusty grotto
#

and nobody is playing sub

chilly brook
#

Not true entirely

cinder nova
#

And I told him I can reset on boss but this week we can just press W

lusty grotto
#

what spec is he

#

sin?

cinder nova
#

Yes.

lusty grotto
#

i havent reset for sin since the season started lol

#

i thought it was just sub tbh

cinder nova
#

You get the rare one that asks

#

most just cope

#

I almost permapug so

terse spoke
#

ehhh random prot war with this embelish should i tell him?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

dont tell people if they dont ask

#

youre not here to dictate how they play

#

moreso if theyre not asking for it

#

keep it to yourself

dusky canopy
#

Jokes on you bud that Prot war is 100% hp 99% of the time in his level of keys

chilly brook
#

I mean honestly it’s in your best interest to let them get a reset

dusky canopy
lusty grotto
#

i see, thx griff

#

so its just sin and sub ?

#

no outlaw?

chilly brook
#

Idk about outlaw

#

Was gonna relevel a rogue because talent changes

lusty grotto
#

its not a good week for rogue resets anyway

#

you might take way too long for it depending on if youre killing spites or not

chilly brook
#

Yeah this week it’s a tough luck angle

grand veldt
#

sin is the only one with that ability i thought

#

with garrote silence

terse spoke
#

@lusty grotto i wasnt gona tell him i just thought it was pretty funny to see that^^

lusty grotto
#

right

terse spoke
#

it was meant as a joke

lusty grotto
#

its just the consideration for rogue resets that im listing

grand veldt
#

i like playing with rogues because keeping threat on DH without tricks is actually so awful

#

every pull im burning heroic leap to reset taunt

#

actually the most annoying shit on earth

chilly brook
#

You know

chrome falcon
#

holy

#

just got fyrakk 1h and trinket

#

same kill

#

it's gaming time

chilly brook
#

You’d have less problem holding threat if you didn’t play defensive trinkets and didn’t play defensively

chrome falcon
#

what's our enchant for dps btw

#

wafting?

lusty grotto
#

wafting for both yea

it happens a lot, i've had to kind of change when i cast ignore pain so i dont munch procs

grand veldt
#

ill refresh rend with TC even if slam is up

nova vector
#

Thanks!

grand veldt
#

if i hear it proc right after a previous one

#

seems like a pointless proc if my target doesnt have bleeds on them

#

that and with 4 pc i'll fucking spam hit other targets

lusty grotto
#

uhh

grand veldt
#

munch up as many TC procs i can

real fossil
#

lol

grand veldt
#

just extra 2s on cdr

lusty grotto
#

your targets will have bleed on them

#

cause devastator applies deep wounds

grand veldt
#

yeah but you have to clap

#

for rend

#

which does a lot more than mortal wounds

Sorry to go back to your old comment but I just want to make sure, we go full haste all the way then? even with 7800+, correct?

fuck you guys are gonna have me load up the goddamn game

I’m probably going to do that too at some point haha didn’t even think of putting Brez on helm

crystal mauve

Since helm tier set is bad and I needed it ... It worked ok, maybe I should change the stats on it for something else than haste tho?

honestly

how often do you guys have thunderous roar in keys with 4 set

lusty grotto

sac an SF at most than go under 3 ilvl on one of the three pieces that have the highest number of stats

and then there is a version where it is steel metal color silver

like 40s with

the second one the clean one i call it

lusty grotto
#

slightly more than a minute

sick sentinel
#

is way harder to get im finding

#

apparently, you have to either spawn 1 guy and farm him over and over and over, or , you farm another till it gives a starts a quest thing

#

thats what my preliminary scans for farming them showed

grand veldt
#

I've been trying to farm it the past couple weeks with like 6 characters

raw parcel
#

Is Uproar worth running with 4 pc?

crystal mauve
#

So the sims is trying to keep me under the -20% penalty threshold then max out crit/vers. It seems that the sweet spot is around 6630 of haste score. Not sure if it's better to stay alive but in terms of DPS it is what it's showing

lusty grotto
#

sims dont take into account defensiveness

#

it should take into account SB uptime though

#

so it is kind of accurate

#

it depends if you will have SB available or not due to being a hastened cd

grand veldt
#

Wajr

#

Wait

#

The talent no

lusty grotto
#

it also takes into account full ITF uptime

#

so talents are a big deal whether youre playing HR or not

grand veldt
#

Running 4px is worth it on fort weeks but if you're doing tyran I think 2pc 2pc is better

lusty grotto
#

the numbers there arent exact to what you will have due to ITF

grand veldt
#

And yeah I just don't like how weak thunder clap is at start of pulls without that avatar talent

lusty grotto
#

i disagree

#

what do you need 2pc t30 for

#

in tyr weeks

grand veldt
#

You do 15% increase shield slam damage

lusty grotto
#

the DR?

grand veldt
#

You lose like 6k per shield slam with new 4pc

lusty grotto
#

idk about that youre losing a lot of STR due to ilvl caps on t30

grand veldt
#

Just try it yourself before you rush to any judgement, but it's been something a bunch have been simming here

lusty grotto
#

and alot of damage added with TR

#

would have to see those sims, i bet they dont have t31 capped

#

youre dropping so much ilvl on 2 pieces

#

thats a str loss

grand veldt
#

It's like 400 str depending on the piece you're using

grand veldt
#

It Jack's up your shield slam a lot

jagged pier
#

because its a dps loss

#

even in ST

#

u should sim

urban portal
#

When the yellows are out

grand veldt
#

Nome and someone else were simming it last night

jagged pier
#

depends on ilvl but my hc pieces are better than old 2pc

urban portal
#

Link sim

#

Or link chat

#

It’s that easy to prove

u just spell block the dot

I mean that's just the intended way to tank it

You get a bunch of stacks of "Cataclysm jaws will kill you", then it comes in and the other tank grabs it

Or he intentionally taunts late cause it's funny

restive scroll
# bleak breach Not sure how everyone else does it though

Completely agree there.
First week volc at 447 still was slapping hard.
If there was no good enough healer, that was difficult to survive, or I was low all the time from the dot.
(healers were low too, and the fight kinda hurt when you're underlevel)

Okay I see, so it is normal if I have to aoe taunt sometimes I guess

But then I don’t understand why I don’t get high dps

For example I simmed myself when I had 4p of season 2 and I think I got as much or even better damage than with current 4p while it shouldn’t be the case as I have better ilvl

I simmed without any flask or buff except battle shout in patchwerk 3 boss 1min30 and I got only 130k dps, I don’t know what we should have usually

# strong forum the subsequent ticks are not empowered

That doesn't seem right either. Looking at logs it looks like the damage ramps down after the initial hit, but it doesn't just fall off after the first hit. On a 26 tyr with a 33 stack reset, the unmitigated ticks went from 504724, to 451030 to 386597, to 332903, to 268470, to two ticks of 214776.

No, the sim was changed to reflect how the trinket is actually performing. But the trinket is bugged.

cuz of block downtime

its 150k avg tick per 34 stacks in a 20

Right but the first tick (at least in that 26) was 235% of the last two ticks so I'm not sure exactly how it's being calculated.
