with around 12% mitigation

warm plinth
#

Unmitigated that is

lusty grotto
#

how are you looking at individual ticks

#

yeah mine was just average so its not the same

warm plinth
#

Damage taken events

balmy narwhal
#

Do you guys know which WA it is that makes a squeaky sounds when an add is casting a spell on u

median tulip
#

I'm definitely on team "how about we just don't do that mechanic"

strong forum
#

if the key is low enough, sure

warm plinth
#

Yeah you definitely don't do it until the key level is high enough that you have to

strong forum
#

but usually 30 is the best point for your group

lusty grotto
#

yup im seeing the same

#

its ramping down

warm plinth
#

Yeah 30 stacks or whatever the closest is to not overlap with thorns

median tulip
strong forum
#

ive seen BDK go as high as 80 stacks

lusty grotto
#

soul thorns though, def do not scale with soul harvest

warm plinth
#

Yeah you wouldn't reset in a 20

#

Yeah thorns is thankfully environmental damage haha

#

That would suck

lusty grotto
#

ok so it boils down to the same as we did in bfa before we knew about all this fuckery

#

if you can tank it fully, dont reset

warm plinth
median tulip
#

Just as long as the Thorns don't scale with Fort

lusty grotto
#

else do an arbitrary amount of stacks that are healable (in tyr)

shut flare
#

General question. What is a more straight forward newb friendly tank. Prot warr or guardian druid?

warm plinth
median tulip
warm plinth
#

One mechanic scaling with Fort, one with tur

I actually liked that dungeon

That whole dungeon was fuckery on a grand scale

Mmm prot isn't really forgiving

no thanks ill stick to mists and tos

Ppal is less mobile though because you need to stand in your consecration

(i actually liked spires)

#

We have a lot of self healing first of all

median tulip
warm plinth
#

And second of all, improperly played you WILL fall over

lusty grotto
#

only because of the 1 boss

warm plinth
#

But we are very tanky

strong forum
#

we dont have alot of self healing, but we take little enough dmg that our existing self healing does keep us topped most situations

shut flare
warm plinth

Well a lot relative to none I suppose. Not relative to other tanks

#

if a mistake happens

#

you pay the price and cant just press deathstrike and say lol oops

shut flare
#

mind me asking what are the common mistakes as prot warrior? aside for pressing buttons. is it reactive?

median tulip
#

And like Nome says, we're all about the pre-planned Mitigation. We're like the Disc Priest of Tanks.

strong forum
#

common mistakes are just not using defensive CDs enough

#

not using spell reflect enough

#

playing rotationally poorly and generate little rage

worthy briar
#

yeah you get busted with your pants down prot go dead

median tulip
#

Here is how to Prot Warrior:

  1. Get Angry
  2. MORE ANGRY
  3. TOO ANGRY TO DIE
strong forum
#

also positioning for a pwar matters more than on almost any other tank

#

that being said

#

pwar is really simple to play, and very sturdy because of our talent tree

#

im making it currently sound alot harder than it is

median tulip
#

The key points are to generate a fuckload of Rage and spend it to trigger Anger Management, Indomitable and Violent Outburst

shut flare
median tulip
#

Oh and never ever allow an enemy to get behind you

strong forum
#

we get destroyed from hits in the back cuz we cant block those

shut flare
median tulip
strong forum
#

not as much on other tanks

warm plinth
#

Only us and paladin block but you can't dodge (bear/brew) or parry (bdk/vdh) from behind either.

shut flare
#

thanks fam. reason why i ask cause i wanna go for tanking for m+ but gotta dps on raids. roblem with DPS is there are too many. even with good io and gear they wont accept you. but easier with tanks

median tulip
#

That's a common first motivation for tanking. it's how I started out.

strong forum
#

my motivation to start tanking is other tanks just being shit

#

if you want a job done right you do it yourself

shut flare
lusty grotto
#

all tanks do great damage when played correctly

median tulip
#

Just... always keep your builders rolling, spend rage like crazy, remember that Shield Block and Ignore Pain (your two biggest spenders) are off the GCD, and that if you play right, Anger Management turns Avatar into a ~35s CD

lusty grotto
#

we are all closer to each other than you think

warm plinth
#

We are on the lower end this season technically but we aren't trash by any means

strong forum
#

yeah i dont think a single tank rn does "bad" damage

#

only bad players do bad damage

bleak breach

warm plinth
#

You can still do over 100k comfortably in any key if you play well.

bleak breach
#

Couldn’t have said it any better myself

shut flare
#

thanks fam appreciate it

vocal flame
median tulip
#

Yeah, variance between players is much much more significant than between classes

warm plinth
#

More in some than others ofc

bleak breach
#

I actually think T31 has simplified us because you just macro SS to IP

warm plinth
#

Probably close to 200k in everbloom pretty easily

bleak breach
#

The only active you’re really worried about then is SB which is basically on cd

vocal flame
#

What is the crit cap? i didn't see it in the FAQ

strong forum
#

with more gear you can probably break 300k in BRH and Everbloom as tank

warm plinth
#

Because there isn't one

strong forum
#

ngl

vocal flame
#

oo ok cause crit seems to be the only gear i get lol

grim pilot
bleak breach
#

Yeah 100%

grim pilot
#

the damage they're doing is insane

bleak breach
#

If they didn’t give us bursting I would’ve sent it in EB last week

#

BDK does good aoe

warm plinth
#

You can check dungeon logs and see that all tanks are quite close in damage in pretty much all dungeons

bleak breach
#

We do more ST as far as I’ve noticed

strong forum
#

BDK does very good damage, but i think pally can also keep up

grim pilot
#

Honestly I would understand monk but I haven't seen pallies do that good of a damage

warm plinth
#

Us and druid tend to be lower than the others but we're not substantially lower

strong forum
#

idk cant judge anything yet

grim pilot
#

lemme check logs to confirm

strong forum
#

crit did 230k dps in BRH as prot

so like

i did 140k in tott with 456ilvl

I'll do you in tott with 455ilvl

will have to see

grim pilot
#

u mean tot on logs

#

not details

strong forum
#

details without aug

bleak breach
#

Yeah, I generally sit between 120-160 in m+ and don’t have an Aug

grim pilot
#

tott is busted

#

I hit 170k there augless

strong forum
#

dunno i only did 1 so far

bleak breach
#

Tot is busted because you pad on last boss

strong forum
#

and that was with 3 wipes on last boss

warm plinth
#

Tott and everbloom are both gimmicky as hell. And brh to a slightly lesser extent

bleak breach
#

So it sort of skews your numbers

#

Same with EB as stats said

warm plinth
#

Everbloom is the worst because two bosses with damage amps

lusty grotto
#

EB you also get buffed on 2 different bosses

#

1st and last

grim pilot
#

yeah true but the damage amp in EB is nowhere as big as in tott though

#

it's still very substantial

lusty grotto
#

eb last boss is 300% more damage

bleak breach
#

Could do 2-300k this week easy in EB is dps could avoid the ghosts

grim pilot
#

yeah tot is 3000% more damage

bleak breach
#

But they just love getting eaten

lusty grotto
#

i mean its still a damage amp

grim pilot
#

it is true yeah

warm plinth
#

And first boss is 200% right?

grim pilot
#

it's still cheesed to some extent

warm plinth
#

Idr

grim pilot
#

first boss is 200% during phases

warm plinth
#

Right

lusty grotto
#

100%

grim pilot
#

yeah I mean you do 200% of your normal damage

#

getting 100% bonus damage

warm plinth
#

Yeah sorry that's what I meant

#

I said it poorly

bleak breach
#

Gholak damage on last bosses of both wings in mega dungeon is insane

strong forum
#

its insane period

lusty grotto
#

never getting it sadge

grim pilot
#

didn't notice that tbf

warm plinth
#

So obviously not really a prot question but some of yall nerds might know

grim pilot
#

lemme check how much I did

#

how much my weapon did*

warm plinth
#

On last boss eb, do cleave spells that do damage based on the main hit get impacted by the damage Amp? E.g. if my cleaves do 50% of my damage to additional targets, and I do 100k to boss, would it do 50k to the add or 16.5k

grim pilot
#

8% on iridk, 4% on deios - not enough iterations for me yet

#

they dont

#

when add is up

#

boss takes less damage too

#

*normal damage

warm plinth
#

Oh omwy

lusty grotto
#

the dash is correct

warm plinth
#

Okay

lusty grotto
#

the damage amp is done by the lady mage

grim pilot
#

that's one of the reasons you insta swap to add no matter what

lusty grotto
#

when add spawns, she tanks the add

warm plinth
#

You're a lady mage

lusty grotto
#

so she stops the channel

warm plinth
#

Gottem

lusty grotto
grim pilot
#

that and people taking fuckton of damage

lusty grotto
#

however..

#

im not entirely sure if you can just cleave from main boss to the flowers and get blade flurried/SP cleave for bonus damage

#

because at that point the big add isnt up, so the damage app is up on the big boss

grim pilot
#

Yeah me neither but I would assume not

warm plinth
#

Ideally you get no adds anyway right

grim pilot
#

Since logically the boss takes more damage itself

grim pilot
lusty grotto
#

right, i'd be a pad at most

grim pilot
#

and you don't deal more damage

#

so any spell that lands on the boss gets amp'd by 300%

lusty grotto
#

you should

#

with how blade flurry and sp cleave work

#

in theory

#

you should

warm plinth
#

It might work for like whirlwind cleave or blade flurry

#

But not us

lusty grotto
#

nah not us

grim pilot
#

I cannot speak for blade flurry because I haven't played outlaw

#

But honestly yeah that's a fair point

#

Since sp deals 15%(?) damage of main target to other targets

#

idk you'd have to test it out

#

but generally it's some giga pad shit

warm plinth
#

Yeah

grim pilot
#

that doesn't work with most of the specs

lusty grotto
#

yeah kinda pointless

They are kinda horrid. Prime candidates for hard stops.

even had spell block up just for them but apparently it only can block the intitial nature damage hit

oooo nice!

but between 2 catalyst charges and KSM/AotC, 4p requires a single drop this week

I still have a Catalyst Charge. Just hoping that I get a convertible Mythic track at some point. Had dross so far.

you'll get a lot more charges as the season goes on

Also, does anyone know if leech heals self damage effects?

You can shockwave the bats

crimson umbra

is anyone able to help me with my snap threat? I kept getting aggro ripped by a enh shammy and arcane mage in a 22 WM just now like I have avatar and demo up with shield charge and ravager already running

#

but it feels like even after roars ticking theyll rip threat on a mob and get 1 shot

grim pilot
#

Random guess here but maybe they're just focusing the wrong mobs?

crimson umbra
#

maybe? I cant tell honestly lol it is always mobs that I havent targeted yet and am just hitting with aoe by then

grim pilot
#

Idk how you’re pulling but I always try to tc asap and then when they’re focused just blast some cds and I haven’t really had aggro issues

#

Hard to tell without logs

toxic pewter
#

are you in defensive stance

grim pilot
#

I’m probably not proficient enough to tell anyway

grim pilot
toxic pewter
#

?

grim pilot
#

I’m legitimately asking so elaborate

toxic pewter
#

do a good amount of less damage so generate less threat

grim pilot
#

Outside of 5% less damage done which shouldn’t be an agro issue

toxic pewter
#

its more than 5%

grim pilot
#

Well 5% flat and 3% crit ok

toxic pewter
#

it is far from an insignifigant amount

grim pilot
#

Yeah but it really shouldn’t make up for aggro issues

toxic pewter
#

Definitely does not help to do less damage

#

that's for sure

raw parcel

Into the Fray at 5868, or need more haste?

Is there a point where breaking the old 4pc is worth it or just break it as soon as I get 2pc

# polar crypt what gear is everyone crafting right now

The answer that is given in the guides/resources/faq thing is only partly true. If you have really high end gear, then it's right - but if you don't, and especially if you don't have a Shield, then crafting to fill weaker slots now may be more sensible. In the long run, with full Mythic track gear then2 shadowflame embellishments on wrists and cloak is the end objective, but don't mistake that for what will be more immediately useful for you.

polar crypt
#

yeah i went and did my shield today, was probably going to do bracers next

lusty grotto
#

i agree with zetakya

violet flume
#

yeah i crafted shield right away

then going for embel

lethal monolith

Just a question, I just finish leveling my prot warrior, lots of people mentioning to me wrong choice this tier. Too many magic damage going out. How are they handling it actually?

And Def Stance.

It was dead even before then, tbh, just required even more not being bad

You still need some dps to have functional lobes involving their kicks and stops

lusty grotto

we have the cooldowns, its very manageable

pallid quiver
#

And magic damage is specifically designed to be a weak spot for tanks just in general; I remember them mentioning this way back when BFA was coming out

lusty grotto
#

it kind of is

pallid quiver

And we don't care about infrequent bursts of magic damage due to our CDs

#

we care about magic rot and bleeds

but luckily with DF, ever single tank has a way to mitigate it

Kicks in pug groups is always some kind of lottery

median tulip
#

Also, and this is little-remarked upon - towards the end of SL Blizz changed the way caster mobs work. They no longer exclusively nuke the tank; they go after the rest of the party, so "this tank is weak to magic damage" means approx 20% of what it used to

ppal is easy too, its just a bit more difficult if you want to take advantage of its utility

and of course the new tier

no

its not

youve been told its not since you asked in the afternoon

because it is easy to pick up

and not that tedious to get good at

and i already mentioned the easiest tank

its bear

ionic fern

I wouldn't say that prot ain't "forgiving".

#

Our SB up-time is stupid easy with the correct talents.

lusty grotto

in comparison with other tanks, it is

Idk, it's one of the more easy/peasy tanks right now to play "well enough".

which he can pick up with ironfur as bear

From the 3 messages he posted he just asked about forgiving.

agreed

#

im just making a wild assumption, but most people new to a role are concerned about dying

#

its usually an end-all-be-all kind of thing

#

they dont take it as a lesson etc

#

also if a person has asked numerous times the same question and/or related questions about a role pick, that screams that they want to be as prepared as possible

#

to not say something negative

dipping into that, the answer is just to play the game and see what they like, but that would sound rude

Next you'll be saying people should play WoW for FUN, Nimchip

What's that quote? "Players will optimise the entertainment out of any game system" or something like that?

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

its kind of a shame though, cause it is a game

#

everyone is guilty of it, including myself

median tulip
#

TBH I think the publicity given to highly elitist things like RFWF pushes that attitude

lusty grotto
#

i think i realized that you shouldnt take it too seriously by watching arena streamers just fuck around back in the day

median tulip
#

You know what I'd like to see? A Stream of 5 complete newbies, never played the game before, got to 70 and let loose on M+

lusty grotto

like top top fucking players etc

pale karma
#

I think I'm going batty because I swear mobs keep strafing around me trying to attackf rom the side. Anyone else getting that?

lusty grotto

thats been a thing for a while

Did they regress something?

lusty grotto
#

especially when you have a big pull

median tulip
lusty grotto

but yeah it has been a thing for a big while

youre getting the big bird treatment

I think it 's worse than I can ever remember it

lusty grotto

yeah certain models do that

pale karma

Didn't notice it at all in 10.1

crawth did it

#

and there was something else

lethal monolith
#

You guys motivated me!. time to gear my warrior ❤️

lusty grotto
#

im trying to remember

median tulip
#

Crawth was a dick

pale karma
#

Glad it's not just me anyway heh

lusty grotto
#

fuck i cant remember

#

all i know big birds do it a lot

#

like a whole lot

#

kinda has something to do with their models imo

#

like if youre not positioned correctly they will try to readjust

#

but by all accounts you ARE positioned correctly

#

i think proto drakes also do it

#

though to be honest i dont think iridrikon does, but smaller ones do

median tulip
#

Sometimes you can force them to reposition and they seem to lose attacks as they move. If you tiptoe forwards into them they will do it

lusty grotto
#

yeah but that kind of applies to all of the bosses

#

used to do that in vanilla for positioning

#

the losing attack thing not so much but the readjusting yea

pale karma
#

I noticed it a lot in the Amridrasil trash just then

#

I remember it in vanilla lot as well but the techniques to "fix" it don't work anymore

#

(like walking backwards to bring anything into a smaller frontal radius)

Do you guys remember me complaining about my several PC problems? You'll never guess what it was

My handmade extension sleeve for my 24pin had a rusted cable

HOW

Never saw that

#

How old is it ?

Did you buy it secondhand?

Might have been used by a guy running a water loop that leaked

Na was first hand. Made after i ordered it. Was max 2 years old

bleak breach
#

Interesting, I did a sim and shadowflame wreath was outweighting wafting devotion for me

#

Was only by like 100dps

#

Wondering if that’s because of how close to haste cap I am? So I’m getting diminishing returns on some of the enchant?

jagged pier
#

no they are just that close

Ahh fair enough then

hi there, my guild mates are telling me i shouldn't have crafted Lariat, but it was my weakest gear slot and i don't understand, surely it's good even just for stats? or am i missing something? I realise i don't have a load of gems to get it full benefits yet

jagged pier
#

u could have just crafted a normal neck

#

u are wasting an eblishemtn slot

#

and will have to recraft another neck later now

#

and craft another embelishment

Just pop SW.

jagged pier
#

i dont know about u but SS will be off cd by the time u get there

ionic fern
#

I don't think i've ever had such situations tho..there's always something up.

jagged pier
#

so u get iot up pretty quickly

#

as sb is off the gcd

#

u can just SS SB insta

ionic fern
#

You can also just take a look at your rage and keep ~35 before the current pack dies.

#

So you can SB.

jagged pier
#

^^

restive scroll
#

No worry, your dpses will pop everything asap anyway, so damage will be spread ;)

jagged pier
#

the best practice

azure smelt
#

Yea theres ways around it forsure but its just a luxary in SL that i didnt know i would miss so much

#

Wasnt ready for it the first time it happend

whole flint
#

Hey, i have a question. I am a bit confused and maybe i am doing things pretty wrong. I was maining Blood DK in Season 2 where you where not giving a fuck about your secondary stats. Now on Prot Warri it says Versa Haste right? But when i am simming myself (maybe there is the mistake i am simming for dungeonslice) i always get something like crit as best stat. Am i doing somthing wrong? Is it just smoother/nicer gameplay with lots of haste?

jagged pier
#

we dont care about stats

#

crit is equal if not better than vers anyway

#

and dungeon slice doesnt work for prot

warm plinth
#

But you'll probably notice that it's not a big difference

whole flint
#

I mean it works out pretty well till now i was just wondering.

jagged pier
#

3-5 targets 1-1:30 mins remove all buffs

ionic fern
#

DungeonSlice has set parameters for when how many targets are coming etc.
Our APL is not considering these things.

#

E.g in real life oyu might save your CD's for the next pack if the one you're fighting is about to die.

#

But SIMC just sends it.

warm plinth
#

@ionic fern hi ily

median tulip
# whole flint Hey, i have a question. I am a bit confused and maybe i am doing things pretty w...

You'll get crit as your best offensive stat if you don't have much crit. Same goes for the other stats. Haste is our best defensive secondary, but ilvl is better than anything else. More Stats always beats any particular stat array.

Just do the following: Put on your highest ilvl gear. If you have a choice between 2 equal ilvl pieces, pick the one with more Haste. Then go and tank shit. It is not worth overthinking secondary stats.

#

To make cataclismic signet work in m+ we have to chain like with anvil right?

#

Wondering if it is strong with downtime on the stacks

jagged pier
#

u dont loose the stack u have 15 seconds thats plenty of time

vocal nimbus
#

Sometimes healers are stingy with the mana

jagged pier
#

yes

#

so they start drinking

#

and then u pull

#

they dont need ot be healing the whole time

#

they can tick up for a good 15seconds before needing to heal

ionic fern
#

This week kinda bad for it tho.

#

And so was last week i guess

#

Bursting/Spiteful both can interrupt drinking after combat.

jagged pier
#

but spiteful keeps you stacks as well

ionic fern
#

Je, i mean for the healers.

#

It's bad.

#

Since they can't drink instantly.

#

I usually spam Drink whenever a pull ends and i'm lowish on mana.

vocal nimbus
#

There are also dungeons with at least 15 secs of travel/downtime

ionic fern
#

Je, but the stacks don't drop off instantly

vocal nimbus
#

Like galakrond and the drake skip

ionic fern
#

They drop from like 15->14->13 etc iirC?

ionic fern
sick sentinel
#

is it normal for mages to take mass invis instead of mass barrier

#

to do such skips

#

i feel like both spells are equally as handy slight edge to the group bubble one

lilac bloom
#

i just tried heroic fyrrak.. that blaze is a big problem..

jagged pier
#

nope

#

very easy mechanic actually

#

ppl just stand still

lilac bloom
#

i was moving would that have caused me to get hit harder

jagged pier
#

and if they are in another blaze they move in their line

lilac bloom
#

i moved a few seconds and stood there. but also i had the frontal

jagged pier
#

u make the whole mechanic harder if u move with blaze

#

u can hit more ppl

#

hit adds

#

hits other ppl with blaze

lilac bloom
#

but it hits me realy hard at that point i had to use last stand or shield wall

#

can u reflect that or osmething

#

maybe spam ig pain

vocal nimbus
#

You have to reflect the frontal

#

Well

#

Deflect

jagged pier
#

thats not blaze

lilac bloom
#

the blaze got me low

jagged pier
#

blaze isnt whats hitting u ahrd

#

look how far down it is

#

on mine

#

i took less than my HP pool over the whole fight

vocal nimbus
#

Fyrakk shouldnt hit you hard tbh

#

Maybe its the stacking sot

#

Dot

jagged pier
#

the max hit it hit me for was 300k

blazing condor
#

yeah you can very comfortably take many infernal maw stacks

vocal nimbus
#

In p1 or p2

jagged pier
#

your equating blaze to something else

#

blaze is a nothing burger

blazing condor
#

having 2 Marks + a lot of stacks on the dot can hurt tho

lilac bloom
#

we tried 2/2/6 and it hurts

jagged pier
#

logs

lilac bloom
#

i wasn't able to survive long

#

forgot to log

#

:(

#

ill have to log if i make another attempt

vocal nimbus
#

Dunno my guild clears it with 30 ppl and it doesnt hurt

#

The only spike is when we drop the two elementals stacked

lilac bloom
#

it was my first time seeing the blaze

hardy snow
blazing condor
#

this was mine

lilac bloom
#

the tank i saw had more then 2 marks

#

i was trying to tuant of him so do each stack

jagged pier
#

thats not how it works

#

u can only 1 stack in p2

#

u need to take double in p1

#

and the dot hurts

lilac bloom
#

he took it all

hardy snow
lilac bloom
#

i wasn't able to taunt off a dk

blazing condor
#

yeah honestly idk

jagged pier
#

ppl are dumb with the stacks

#

having a tank take all the stacks is dumb

lilac bloom
#

so 2 at p1 ,, 1 of each at p2

jagged pier
#

long and short grey, blaze isnt the issue

#

its something else

#

most likely doing something wrong

#

but cant tell without logs

lilac bloom
#

yah i just dont know why my hp drop so low

#

so quickly

hardy snow
lilac bloom
#

yah sorry i 4got to log

#

ill have another attempt again if i ever kill tindral which i can .. just need practice on what i'm doing with fyrrak

#

can't seem to get invite unless i have a kill

#

and i can't do practice if i never get into doing it

#

my first time trying as well

#

this is my talent

#

this is my gear

#

i dont know if i'm too low

jagged pier
#

u arent low for it

#

but your in m+ talents

#

for raid

lilac bloom
#

oh no

jagged pier
#

i mean your in wrong talents for m+ as well now

lilac bloom
#

thats probably y

jagged pier
#

as u have new tier set

lilac bloom
#

should be this .. this is my normal raid talents

jagged pier
#

u also ahve the trinket that depletes your haste

#

i dont know why u would run that

blazing condor
#

holy ui

lilac bloom
#

they are the only high ilevel trinkets i'm using

jagged pier
#

just because its high lvl doesnt mean its good

lilac bloom
#

i do have these other 2 trinkets

#

i looked at wowhead and gift of Ursine Vengeance is bis warrior trink

jagged pier
#

*sigh8

#

its bis for m+

#

IF

#

it wasnt bugged

#

i mean its still your best trinket out of the 4

#

sorry 5 u have

lilac bloom
#

thats all i have

#

other then old tier trinkets

jagged pier
#

u ahve branch

#

why would u not run that

#

or beacon even

blazing condor
#

can recommend branch

lilac bloom
#

ok.. branch and

#

?

#

i use old tier?

jagged pier
#

not u use ursine and branch

#

u use the new tier

#

and u update your talents from the ones in the pins

lilac bloom
#

spellblock was the ones from the pin

#

ursine and branch is fine?

blazing condor
#

usine and branch is good

jagged pier
#

ursine and branch are fine

lilac bloom
#

ok

#

ill do that

jagged pier
teal swift
jagged pier
#

they from the pin

lilac bloom
#

ok i try this one

#

but the strats for heroic Fryak and any tips for warriors

#

are there any

jagged pier
#

play correctly

#

deflect seond tank buster u take

hazy sonnet
#

i been on this discord for 5 minutes, learned so much already!
i was charging in - rend - thunder clapping. with BLood and Thunder talented 🙂

jagged pier
#

u dont need to rend ever

hazy sonnet
#

i just read that yeah 😄

jagged pier
#

blood and thunder just apply it

lilac bloom
#

ok tx 4 tipe

hazy sonnet
#

newb warrior <-- hehe

lilac bloom
#

so 2nd tank buster as in the bite?

jagged pier
#

no the big frontal in the first phases

#

u cant reflect a physical attack like the bite

lilac bloom
#

ok.

#

will do tx

#

and dont move for the blaze if i get targted

#

unless i have to move out of char ground

jagged pier
#

no okay if u have blaze

#

and u have to move

#

u move within the line

#

not the line itself

lilac bloom
#

thats probably y

sick sentinel
#

youtube has decided to show me dr robotnik

lilac bloom
#

i think tahts y

hardy snow
#

You can deflect frontal on tankbuster in p1/p2, it aint much, but still something

lilac bloom
#

i was in the line cos where ever i go i couldn't get out of hte line cos i got targted

sick sentinel
#

thats robotnik on his days off

lilac bloom
#

maybe thats why i die

#

i was like why is this line moving when i'm moving

blazing condor
#

you can always move along the line

#

and it wont change the line

jagged pier

ms paint wizard

jagged pier
#

thats how easy blze is

lilac bloom
#

yah i was targeted i thouhg no matter where i go it follows me

#

so i just stood in the line wihouth hhitting others

sick sentinel
#

using the actual paint brush in mspaint

#

disgust.jpg

lilac bloom
#

so i have to move backwards or front.. if its comming at me?

sick sentinel
#

actually, if those are done on like an ipad or something, thats pretty good

sick sentinel
#

i just prefer to use pre-determined shapes

warm plinth
#

I have a good emoji for you Jakey

#

Maybe you can get it added here

hardy snow
lilac bloom
#

yah i saw that imaage

hardy snow
#

✅ and ❎ are on this image for a reason

lilac bloom
#

i was trying to figure how am i suppoe to dodge it.. since its targetting me.

lilac bloom
#

because i think i was standing on it.. as i have no where else to move

#

i eat it then

jagged pier
#

again

#

if u get blaze

#

i cant dodge

#

it

#

it follows u

#

your job

lilac bloom
#

yah

jagged pier
#

is to not move the beam

lilac bloom
#

it follows me

jagged pier
#

so u move without your beam

lilac bloom
#

and that beam hurts

jagged pier
#

IF u need to doge anyway

jagged pier
#

we have been through this

#

with log proof

#

as i said

#

its something else hurting u

#

not blaze

lilac bloom
#

k

sick sentinel
jagged pier
#

i have 1.2mil hp

#

i took 800k from blaze

#

over the whole fight

#

thats less than my hp pool

sick sentinel
#

some times these are funny, but they get old fast for me

jagged pier
#

over 7mins

#

its not dangerous at all

#

it literally cannot kill u

lilac bloom
#

hmm i have to practice more then

jagged pier
#

as it doesnt one shot dps

#

it literally isnt desgined to kill any spec in the game

sick sentinel
lilac bloom
#

wel i guess i have to practice more and log then cos i'm not sure whats killing me.. hopefuly this talents and trinkets will save me

sick sentinel
#

i have just over 1 m hp

lilac bloom
#

i'm 1148 hp

#

got destroyed by this issue

#

1148k

#

hp

jagged pier
#

no u didnt

#

its not blaze

warm plinth
#

where log

jagged pier
#

literally hits for max 300k

#

he doesnt have one

lilac bloom
#

yah i need to know y

#

next time

warm plinth
#

No one logged the fight?

lilac bloom
#

i ll try again

warm plinth
#

not one person?

lilac bloom
#

no

Anyone macro ignore pain to tclap? I'm watching plka's clips and it kinda looks like he is

if only i can find a group that will take me for runs

glacial skiff
#

and looking at his cast sequences from keys

glacial skiff
#

Is there a downside to it?

jagged pier
#

that would be dumb

#

yes

#

the same downside as if u macro SB to something

#

rage starving, not enough rage for SB

#

etc etc

blazing condor
#

well if its only on TC you wouldnt waste rage

#

like if its on IP i mean

jagged pier
#

u press TC nearly as much as SS now

#

as u would waste rage yes

#

cause youll cast IP everytime u clap

blazing condor
#

well yes

#

but if its the other way around

#

like the IP / SS macro

jagged pier
#

thats not what he asked

tender tulip
#

is there a soft haste cap? around 7k or something?

#

or is it more of a % thing? cos into the fray only adds % right on the char screen

vocal nimbus
#

Itf is better the more haste you have

#

Because its a flat increase without dr

#

Just sim gear and dont think too much anout the numbers

tender tulip
#

i have 6.1k without any buffs etc. gets to about 7k cycling with the sandglass, thinking to go more into mastery/crit now than haste

#

just wondering if there's a set %/number for 100% SB uptime, or if you just gotta wing it a bit 😄

#

tbf it's not like i die often unless i make a mistake myself, but i'm also not pushing high keys atm so probably doesn't matter too much 🙂

warm plinth
#

You don't stop stacking haste until you get to 7.1k unbuffed.

tender tulip
#

hmm

#

i might have just wasted some gems then 😄

opaque quest
#

For 500 st dmg

#

But i have 6600 not 6100^^

tender tulip
#

hmm, i can just change a neck and get to 7.2k

#

but i did just put gems in it 😄

opaque quest
#

Dw about it. If you only play M+ and dont chain pull everything youre fine

#

Since you can just recharge a second or 2 between packs

sleek current
#

I'm still getting above 90% SB uptime with only 5.2k and I said fuck it and took ITF anyway. 😂 Not sure the relevance though.

opaque quest
#

7.1 is only really needed for raiding where you take dmg all the time

#

But even then you got an offtank that can let you recharge

jagged pier
#

what u dont take damage all the time in raiding

#

u do in m+

opaque quest
#

In M+ you can recharge between packs

sleek current
#

I can't. Time spent not in a pull is time wasted. Haha.

opaque quest
#

Ye i chain pull everything too

jagged pier
#

u dont need to wait in m+ u should be managing your resources

u shouldnt have down time on SB anyway

Only difference for me I suppose with T31 is I can't stack 24 seconds of SB. I will see you again, one day bolster.
