Works on the application

patent osprey
#

but doesn't actually do any damage, even though details says we do infinite

#

LOL

chilly brook
#

Which helps somewhat

#

But more so helpful on the pack after

patent osprey
#

the application isn't what really hurts though

#

but yeah its much better on the imp packs

chilly brook
#

The bats are just evil

strong forum
#

wdym 500k ticks in a 21 is totally balanced

chilly brook
#

Honestly would spell block even be broken if it just worked on all dots

patent osprey
#

yes

#

LOL

strong forum
#

just make it work on deios, thx

patent osprey
#

itd prob make us one of the best raid tanks

#

if it worked on dots

chilly brook
#

It’s a 2m cd

patent osprey
#

2m cd, that last 30 seconds

chilly brook
#

That’s still at best 25% uptime

strong forum
#

its a 1.5min cd

#

in a world where BDK exists, would it be that bad to be able to block dots in raid?

chilly brook
#

I’d honestly think it would be better to just have it block everything

#

And blacklist the few things that it would break

shut summit
#

can sblock almost every dot that matters in raid anyways

#

would rather just not have the talent and lean more into spell reflect actually working eeven if just as deflect

grand veldt
#

It's not pad with DH I thought bc doesn't mirror dance put 50% reduction in healing for them?

shut summit
grand veldt
#

So at the least they get only 50% hp back, or you could have the rogue run wound poison

#

Yeah then the rogue needs to run wound for that

#

I guess mirror no longer does healing debuff

chilly brook
#

Spell reflect while it’s great that it’s like a 20(?) second cd for prot I don’t think it’s up enough for some packs in m+

grand veldt
#

I mean yeah I would love a 15s cd instead

#

Would actually be nuts

chilly brook
#

I mean we’d all like a shorter CD

#

But that would legit be broken

grand veldt
#

Prot has 20s and for some reason my omni cd says fury and arms have 25s cd

chilly brook
strong forum
#

because they are 25s

grand veldt
#

Oh I always assumed it was a glitch

chilly brook
#

Prot was 25s as well

#

Changed last season iirc

grand veldt
#

Interesting

pallid quiver
#

I think it should be a 2 second CD, especially in PvP 🙂

grand veldt
#

5 more seconds and I think you could almost reflect all the casts on third boss EB

mossy elk
#

Is there a positive relation between Rezans Gleaming Eye and the tier set? I assume it gets consumed like any other bleed, but is that actually good?

pallid quiver
#

2P specifies class bleeds

chilly brook
mossy elk
#

Oh, missed that - damn

chilly brook
#

Trinkets and class stuff generally don’t interact

grand veldt
#

Yeah we even tried them

#

It doesn't touch the bleeds

strong forum
#

would be pretty bad if it did

mossy elk
#

Thats what I was thinking - 40% of the bleed from rezans would make it useless I think

chilly brook
strong forum
#

my whole 0.2 keylevels of DR

#

(technically even less)

pallid quiver
#

The main reason it's good for Deep Wounds/Rend is because we can reapply, allowing us to sort of pseudo-"stack" bleed applications when we consume them

chilly brook
#

Bro you don’t understand that’s huge

#

That means I get ticked for 499k on the bat dot instead of 500k!

torn gulch
#

those bats are so broken it's not even funny

#

uldaman basilisks part 2

#

i have to play them like s1 shadowlands kite meta

#

go in stun all 4 spell reflect and i'm gone

chilly brook
#

Get the mob CD thing that shows their CDs over their health bars

torn gulch
#

i mean i stick around a couple of seconds then i am gone

#

but yeah that is a good call

chilly brook
#

@ashen coral tanked a throne yesterday, the cast that the shell dudes do on the tank is not the reflectable cast

#

You were getting baited

#

They do a physical damage increase cast or something on the tank

grand veldt
#

I didn't know it just hesls them though

#

Definitely gonna have a rogue with wound poison on from now on in dht

pallid quiver
#

If it didn't heal them and did that much damage, those packs would explode

grand veldt
#

I mean 50% of that damage is still good in my books

ashen coral
#

Isn’t it crushing depth ?

pallid quiver
#

Crushing Depths is cast on one of the DPS/Heals and is the healing absorb mechanic

fast gale
#

is prot warrior just not a thing for leveling in dungeons? i cant seem to maintain any rage or threat right now in SoD

pallid quiver
#

So not only is this retail focused, SoD is also extremely new and more based on classic with factors that could influence threat gen

#

i'd recommend going to an actual classic discord/chat SoD discussion about that one

hushed bluff
#

anyone know what should i get for more crit

hardy ridge
#

probably gear with crit

#

jewelry with haste/crit would help

hushed bluff
hardy ridge
#

i didnt mean to socket them

hushed bluff
#

enchant?

hardy ridge
#

jewelry with crit as a secondary

#

for example your neck is vers/mast it has no crit

hushed bluff
#

i think i should get tot neck

hardy ridge
#

but just wear your highest ilvl you dont need to overthink it that much

#

you can farm dungeons for specific stats as well

hushed bluff
#

should i change all of it to crit haste

grim pilot
#

that's so fucking stupid

hardy ridge
#

in general Versatility = Crit so its up to you

hushed bluff
#

700k per sec

grim pilot
#

yeah but it's just pad

#

as pika says

#

so it's irrelevant

grand veldt
#

They should be able to easily take the talent over mind numbing

#

It'll be 50% reduced healing but the damage will be the same

grim pilot
#

wound is not talent

#

afaik

grand veldt
#

Wound is base 30%

#

3 stacks at 10%

#

There's a talent that adds 2 more stacks I think? I can check rq

#

Improved wound poison

#

You have them take that over mind numbing poison

#

Idk what happened to mirror dances reducing on healing but wound poison is far more reliable anyways

chilly brook
grand veldt
#

If you hate yourself you could have another warrior mortal strike

#

And sweeping strikes 2 at a time

chilly brook
#

Crushing depths does not get cast on the tank

grand veldt
#

So you'd have to do the math if it's worth waiting 15s to reflect one and have the 2nd one not go off

chilly brook
#

cuz they usually sync

grand veldt
#

I doubt it's worth it but maybe the damage is unhealable

#

I tested already

#

The other guard will not cast the second one

#

It resets the cd

chilly brook
#

it's mega stonks to get a reflect on that

grand veldt
#

That said

#

You can reflect it and it gives the full 30s duration of damage

chilly brook
#

does a shit ton of damage

grand veldt
#

Which is like a lot

#

I don't know if it's viable yet but I imagine it eventually would work out that way if the key couldn't be healed on that debuff

chilly brook
#

well it's less about if the key is healable

#

and more the actual damage of the dot is worth doing to the mob

grand veldt
#

Yeah I think it's worth the dam but I need to see meters to be certain

chilly brook
#

pretty sure I only got to reflect one in that 22

grand veldt
#

Yeah in a 27

#

It's probably the play

#

To just let the warriors get targeted and keep everyone else out of combat

#

Just requires a group that's not dumb

chilly brook
#

I just gotta decide if I wanna attempt pugging this or not

grim pilot
#

doubt that would be the play since it would require half the group to stay out of comabt for like 30 seconds

chilly brook
grand veldt
#

15 seconds

chilly brook
#

it's pretty quick

grand veldt
#

It's a 15 second delay fs

#

I tested it

#

The cd nameplate thing is accurate

#

And idk in a 27 maybe it is the play because it could do 8 or 9 mil damage

#

Which is more than half it's hp

chilly brook
#

even in a 22

#

one reflect was more damage than any other ability I did

#

or the DH

#

or the lock

#

it's mega stocks

#

and the earlier you reflect on the packs with them the better

#

it only scales from there

grand veldt
#

If you have a war dps you just have tank and war go together

#

But if it's just warrior tank

#

The damage needs to be enough to merit not bringing others in the pull

#

Or it needs to be justified by being something that is unhealable, so you're doing it slower to get past something that's not possible

#

Kinda like reflect was needed for NL only when the damage became hard 1 shots for bears

grim pilot
#

That wasnt the issue

#

What was the issue was damage on boss

#

Reflect made the boss die faster therefore no extra add phase

#

and with every add his spellqueue gets more and more fucked

#

so you dont even get a wall at some point

chilly brook
#

I mean....

#

can't seem to find a duration either

grim pilot
#

30 sec

chilly brook
grand veldt
#

I don't believe it does that much damage when it's cast on them

#

I think it's like set amounts

#

But I can test it in my next pug

chilly brook
#

might as well

grim pilot
#

1% health

#

your health

#

I assume

grand veldt
#

If it's 10% your health we could do interesting tricks with Stam trinkets, talents and last stand plus shout

grim pilot
#

1 debuff did

#

5.5m

#

in 25

#

just now

grand veldt
#

How much HP does the warrior have

#

I can do the math

#

But if it's scaling up with key level it's more than just % based

#

So the play would be on single packs of this mob have the tank go on in and reflect it and dragging the 2 casters into the next pack

#

After it dies

grim pilot
#

i got 780k

#

as arms

grand veldt
#

If it was just percent based it should not do 5 mil

#

So whatever the scaling is

grim pilot
#

I assume it's

grand veldt
#

It's more aggressive or has coefficients

grim pilot
#

% + key level scale

grand veldt
#

Yeah

chilly brook
grim pilot
#

idk

#

I'm just trying to think of a solution

chilly brook
#

in a 25 you're at like 5x dam

#

so it would shake out to like over 10m

grand veldt
#

Yeah I'm not sure

#

I'm waiting on a connecting flight or I could look at some numbers somewhere

patent osprey
#

its def not worth waiting to have crushing depths on the tank vs. just attacking the pack as a 5 man

#

U never have crushers alone, and even in the double crusher you would pull that whole hallway into those crushers

grand veldt
#

What if it's just an unhealable number though

#

Like yeah it'd slow the run down

#

But if it's a hard blockade

patent osprey
#

Its almost never unhealable :/

#

and at that point

#

bring a prot pally

#

LOL

grand veldt
#

Oh true

#

Forgot

#

The immunity

#

Yeah true

patent osprey
#

like if ur in a 30 Fortified, just spellward + Lay on hands

#

2 debuffs gone

grand veldt
#

Yeah

#

That's a really good point

#

Now make trell play rogue and use wound poison

#

In dht

grim pilot
#

does loh cover that

grand veldt
#

Probably would?

tired basin
#

I'm dying to the Larodar charge way too frequently. Also, I see other specs run out into the burning patches to conserve space but I take too much damage when I do that. Am I missing something?

sly hamlet
#

u guys playing versitility or eye in the storm flask in M+?

tired basin
#

Depends on pull size and dungeon.

#

Usually eye in the storm though.

sly hamlet
#

how long does buff of eye in the strom last?

#

till mob that hit u dies?

#

and do casts trigger it as well?

#

is it capped?

tired basin
#

5 stacks

#

Is the cap

#

Not sure how long it last. Never paid attention.

#

But yes, casts count. The first damaging ability from a new enemy adds a stack.

patent osprey
#

Its really good on sanguine for havoc to run it

grand veldt
#

I don't know if the DH still has it

#

Sense posted logs

patent osprey
#

They do

grand veldt
#

Okay

#

Then yeah

patent osprey
#

He plays it on sang and waycrest

grand veldt
#

Just remember to call for it

#

And then boom

#

Spell reflect only half pad

patent osprey
#

If u have mortal wound the 4th boss in waycrest doesnt go back to full each time

soft plume
#

who is in charge of making one handed axes at blizzard

grand veldt
#

Omg

grand veldt
#

BTW did you like that captain trick pull?

soft plume
#

who made gholak and thought making it as tiny as possible would be acceptable

patent osprey
grand veldt
#

I temember you guys had count issues

#

Yeah lmfao

#

At least we don't have to leap 4 times

patent osprey
grand veldt
#

Oh man I'm insufferable when I find something I think can be useful I'll just shoe horn that shit in lmfao

#

I do that pull always

toxic pewter
#

why no nerfs to vengence dh damage

#

am i missing something

grand veldt
#

Why no nerf to vengeance runes

#

Or magic damage reduction

#

There's a lot of questions

#

But I think they want vdh to be the Fotm rn

jagged gust
#

are they tho

toxic pewter
#

i was browsing warcraftlogs and their damage seemingly is insane

grand veldt
#

I don't think the fotm choices are on accident

patent osprey
#

Right now meta is shaping up to be prot pal>dh>bdk/prot war

soft plume
#

im glad we're not the bottom

grand veldt
#

Is it confirmed dk can parry during legendary channel?

#

And yeah, I mean guardian always had dead last

#

Kind of surprised how weak brm has been overall

patent osprey
#

Guardian is either First or last

#

depends on how broken they are that tier/season

grand veldt
#

I think prot war is the best for EB, WCM, and probably tides

#

A solid second for DHT

#

Being able to leap that frontal is significant

soft plume
#

what frontal

jagged gust
#

breath from the tree

soft plume
#

what do u mean by leap it

#

like away from it?

jagged gust
#

you outrange it so you dont take the dot

#

same as deios

grand veldt
#

Wtf

#

You mean

#

The same as delos

#

I've been getting my ass donkey fucked for no reason on Delos fffs

#

And yeah the breath being avoidable is really significant more because crushing grip is right after

#

And it's actually pretty hard to live if you're not topped off

jagged gust
#

Yep, so you dont have your IP get depleted by the dot and helps mitigate more of the grab

grand veldt
#

Yeah that's huge

grand veldt
jagged gust
#

For both bosses you need to jump in a direct line away from the boss, direction doesn't matter so long as you're not dropping the breath on your group. If you jump at an angle you will still be in range of the breath attacks and depending on the key will most likely die quite quickly

bleak breach
#

So camera up and just leap backwards?

#

I’ve never tried it

jagged gust
#

More or less, just watch the timer like a hawk, if you jumped at the wrong angle you still have a bit of time to run a bit to continue to try to outrange it

glad brook
#

egg shell or gift of ursine?

lament shell
#

smol question

#

why cant i death strike in rezans mouth nor in

#

tree grip on dht

#

is this intendet?

grand veldt
#

I was told you can death steike

#

But we can't impending victory

#

Which was very annoying to me

lament shell
#

nah you cant its so bad

bleak breach
#

What’s the strat they run on super high keys for the grip?

#

We timed the 20 lastnight, I was playing fury my mate played blood and he was getting destroyed by the grip

jagged gust
#

tell the healer "this hurts"

#

There's nothing you can really do other than pop defensives and pray your healer can keep you up

lament shell
#

you cant use death strike on the grip

cerulean tusk
#

Rotate defensives and pray, yepyep. You can leap as he grabs you up, to avoid the whole mechanic, works 4/10 times.

jagged gust
#

I wonder if on a 30 or something you can have a DPS taunt and immune for those situations

sick sentinel
#

oh thank god, im saved farming a ton of rep, can just do it on my rogue lol

cerulean tusk
#

when you immune, you drop threat if you aint a hunter, no?

#

Aka, bubble/BoP and so on

#

You can drop darkness under the crush, I guess

jagged gust
#

30% of the time it works everytime

#

Hmm, what if you immune the tank mid grab and then cancelaura taunt macro

cerulean tusk
#

just remember to tell melee, so they dont get slapped by accident

sick sentinel
#

Do we ever use the talents Tough as Nails over Spell Block in M+ or the raid?

hardy snow
#

of course, spell block is mega

jagged gust
#

Honestly if you're just running your weekly 18 for vault or 16/17 for hero/crests idk if you even need to use splock to survive, the amount of times I forget it's on my bars is almost embarrassing

chilly brook
#

It’s helpful on specific pulls

#

Last pull in tunnel of DHT before last boss for example

sick sentinel
jagged gust
#

Yeah like if you're in raid or learning to push it's amazing obvs, and you absolutely should get used to when it's necessary to use

worn obsidian
#

Hello, kinda new on war. Anyone know if i should update my default Mythic+ talent build after getting 4P T31 ?

jagged gust
#

But if your goal is just fill the vault, people are starting to push ilvl 480 and these packs are just melting before much damage leaks through your stuns and stops

worn obsidian
mellow bridge
#

but during grip you can 100% deathstrike

warm plinth
#

Yeah you have full control over your toon during grip other than movement. Rezan is different because you aren't supposed to get eaten.

warm plinth
#

Could also run spellwarding for it I suppose and you don't lose threat from spellwarding

cerulean tusk
#

... The bubbletaunt that kills me 9/10 times as dps

#

:(

warm plinth
#

I've never lost aggro using it so idk

cerulean tusk
#

Paladins pop bubble, I die, they say they got the bubbletaunt

#

Turns me into dirt every time sadge

warm plinth
#

Well idk what to tell you. Either they aren't running the talent or they're using it a billion miles away from the mobs

#

BoP will still drop threat regardless. It only works on bubble

cerulean tusk
#

Nah, we both standing inside the pack slapping and bappin'

#

Then I die suddenly

#

I ask the question

strong forum
#

cuz it can still bug

#

🙂

cerulean tusk
#

"did you bubble?"

strong forum
#

bubbletaunt was always bugged, and is still bugged

warm plinth
#

I've never once had it bug

strong forum
#

where it randomly can just not work

#

same with consecration

#

can just randomly not work

sick sentinel
#

if it were up to me, bubble would last for 30 seconds

#

but thats clearly busted

toxic pewter
#

lol

urban portal
#

in pvp too

sick sentinel
#

diffrent game type, yes, but he's one of the best champions

toxic pewter
#

if it is 30 seconds they can get 3 hearths off perhaps

sick sentinel
#

make it last 45 seconds and then you get 10 seconds immune followed by 10 seconds 50% less dmg followed by 25 seconds ticks down % wise

sleek current
#

Stinky

sick sentinel
#

sounds fair to me

#

okay, well, give DOOM to, uh... warlocks? or warriors..... the guy who casts it is a large warrior with warrior abilities

#

this one is even more fair

sleek current
#

Yeah. It'll go perfectly with their Battle Ress and nearly infinite interrupts. 😄

sick sentinel
#

put a dot on an enemy that it can never be dispelled and it deals dmg to them and when it ends a big demon appears

urban portal
#

you realize that you can talent corruption to be permanent

sick sentinel
#

sure, but it doesnt spawn a big dude once it kills them

urban portal
#

yeah

#

like that does anything to a raid boss

sick sentinel
#

there was a version where it was like a minute buff and it only went off 1-4 times a mnute for exchange big dmg and the demon

#

and then, it took so long to go off, it was never worth it

urban portal
#

so you would put it on a small add in m+

#

and the dot wouldnt do much damage

sick sentinel
#

i like the big red cloud warlocks had in shadowlands

uneven mason
#

IT was absolutely worth it because it worked off of snap shotting

#

get it with your buffs stacked up it could be the #1 damage source in a raid fight (per ability)

#

Anyone up for a 5 TANK DHT +16?

#

In DHT, can you outrange the dreadburst cast upon death by the Hatespawn slimes?

warm plinth

Technically yes? It's a 60 yard range though

Can we do seeds on fyrakk while tanking?

pretty sure the tank mechanic is shadowflame

A tank would hold a seed

That's what we've been doing, works like a charm

But we dont ”live” it better

Besides reflecting

oh ye let me check

damn dude, you pressing too many revenges and not enough thunderclaps and shield slams

final radish
#

im trying to use them in CD

#

and reveng more for aggro

#

when i played in season 1

green bronze
#

you seem to prioritize revenge, but revenge is low prio

#

you only press it when you don't have anything else to press

final radish
#

1 clap get all aggroes

you got priority all wrong

thats how my damage breakdown looks

idk rly

mabe its becouse i have rly low hast

so mabe im using wronge with 4set ?

green bronze
warm plinth
#

Your fundamental rotation is wrong friend. It has nothing to do with the tier set.

final radish
#

coz im not geting to much clap im using every clap i have

warm plinth
#

Get us a log and we can tell you exactly what you're doing wrong

green bronze
#

you have to prio shield slam at all times, clap when shield slam not available and spam IP

final radish
#

ok let me doing a dungeon and get a log

#

on ST prio like always is slam-clap if dont have revange-under 20% execute-slam-clap right ?

warm plinth
#

Slam>Clap>Revenge. Under 20%, Execute replaces Revenge.

#

So Slam>Clap>Execute

final radish
#

oh ok

tired crystal
warm plinth
#

That's how you're supposed to do it. It's a priority list, not a rotation.

Ah okay

They don't make enough money to fix this stuff guys

They only made $5.3 billion in profit last year

They just cut and pasted the effect onto the next weapon and forgot to edit the name. It's not actually broken.

#

I'm gonna cut and paste my effect on to your weapon, if you know what I mean

median tulip
sick sentinel
#

seems like i get hit by banquet steward mobs in the back the most

warm plinth
#

Maybe you shouldn't get hit in the back by them

sick sentinel
#

and thorns guard apparently

#

cuz, the issue with old yogi has always been, YOU DIDNT BLOCK THE ATTACKS madge emoji

#

😠

#

and its true, it really is true

median tulip
#

IIRC those are immune to the root from Charge, so you tend to charge through them and end up facing away from them

sick sentinel
#

but i just dont understand how im putting my self to get back hit by mobs like that

#

where you guys wouldnt

#

cuz thats really just it, if i learned to stay in melee range and block the dmaned attacks

#

i'd be winner

Boys! I've been away for a lil while. What do we craft and with what embelishments?

Gotta spin turn quick. Mouse on 6k DPI and mega high response time helps

The cast breakdown does look better, but yeah 48 cpm is really low

all your CDs are underused

The biggest difference in comparison cast wise is that I just pressed more buttons in general

I had about 30 more casts of Thunder Clap without 4p, which resets the CD on TC

#

I also had 8 more casts of shield wall, and I even sat on it a few times during that key iirc

warm plinth
#

demo, TR, shield charge, ava, rav all underused

jagged pier

Same story different person pres buttons on CD sadge

pallid quiver
#

You didn't press Storm Bolt a single time, so that was a wasted talent point

warm plinth
#

PRESS BUTTONS. LETSGOOO

You also wasted almost half the rage you generated with Shield Slam

5796 rage from shield slam, 2033 of it was wasted

Is a mob casting on you? Yes? Press it.

Even if it worked correctly it would tell u to sr any spell u can so u could waste on the big ones u have too

pallid quiver
sick sentinel
#

basically this

warm plinth
#

But yeah, there are times where you won't want to use it on spell x because spell y in the same fight is more important to reflect (usually due to it doing a lot of damage)

#

but WAs like that are basically just screaming at you to use it whenever possible.

in DHT tree boss, how do u manage to avoid breath, be in melee range for grip, all while getting aggro on adds? or do we just ignore adds ?

#

im always worried im gonna cleave people with stuff if i try running around the giant tree trying to get aggro on adds

patent osprey
#

I typically leap each breath so i can do so at the last few seconds so i can get as much aggro

soft plume
#

okay ill be more reserved with my aoe CDs

patent osprey
#

I also tend to walk into roots before each avatar to reduce the amount of adds that spawn

#

Avatar will release u from the root and make it hittable

soft plume
#

ill start doing that as well i didnt think of that

#

do u plan on replacing ur branch trinket or do u think its bis for higher keys

If i had fryakks heart i would use that

I'm pretty sure your group proper doesn't have a paladin if I remember right, Pika

So if you're pushing bungi keys, you might be in it a lot. 20s, only for specific mechanics

yeh if you're new/unsure, I would recommend going into pulls with dstance up and going back to battle once you've got ahold of everything and your rage eco is in full swing

That's just flavor text

sly hamlet

ur hitting back every hit for 8s right? white hit = rage no?

#

why do prot warriors go heavily into crit? Is it because of parry chance? Is parry that good?

grizzled nova
sullen gust
grizzled nova
#

You want to be haste heavy with as much crit as you can get, vers is okay too, mastery is the least ideal.

fading leaf
#

haste I get, I'm just wondering about crit. I want more damage than survivability?

grizzled nova
#

As long as you're haste heavy, the spread between other secondary stats is very low, like 3% best to worst case.

grizzled nova
#

Ilvl is generally the thing letting you live harder.

#

Have more stats > having "correct" stats.

strong forum
#

talking strictly dtps crit is by far the best stat as it removes the most dmg overall

#

its just not that hot vs bosses

grizzled nova
#

In a purely mathematical sense yes, but vs things that are actually gonna kill you, eh.

strong forum
#

but for big pulls its by far the best

#

as even in the most dangerous pulls, you get absolutely shredded by melee attacks

#

completely REMOVING large chunks of melee dmg allows IP and your general healthpool to work more against other sources

patent osprey
#

HOLD UP

strong forum
#

so it shouldnt be underestimated even if "melee dmg is generally not that dangerous"

strong forum
#

is it?

fading leaf
#

I see, thanks for the info. I have dps gear, I'll just mix it up with tank gear and check out what more crit feels like on 20s

patent osprey
#

VERSE also has its positives, ASSISTING with some of the most threatening damage sources like Bleed/Magic damage that parry has no assistance with. Yes parry can help ur overall damage intake be lowered in large pulls, but in general, if it is just melees, we are so bulky to that, that even your own impending victory will make you live. But it is definitely a preference on what you like Verse vs. Crit

grizzled nova
#

the difference between vers and crit in surviving large pulls is pretty whatever, both are doing work in different ways that hit near-equivalence

#

bosses that put absolutely clap your cheeks with bleeds and magic? vers is doing way more than crit

#

both for dr and ip efficiency

Affixes as they are already Linda male keys feel jankier

thats why i play tank instead of mage now, and i prefered to play mage hunter for a bit i can see why ppl play healers and range

dont need as fast a computer cuz ur not right at the boss

grizzled nova

this weeks is definitely the most free combination of affixes in the rotation

volcanic spiteful is as ideal a fort week as we get

sick sentinel

mobs have to walk at you to melee, and then you have a counter when they do

#

Yeah, spiteful isn't bad

But it's not something you can just forget about

sick sentinel

there is some huge perks to being healer or ranged dps

but they get really shit mechanics iin raids and on m+ boss

grizzled nova

next week isn't bad for a tyran week either

nope, season 2 and so far 3 have been pretty much painless so far

sanguine still makes me want to off myself

Sanguine is unfuh

It's not particularly hard

But it's just unfun

sick sentinel
#

sanguine isnt AS bad when u have a monk or dk that can force move mobs out

but its stil very insert horrible thing here

grizzled nova
#

it's lieutenants with 5 second long uninterruptible casts

teal swift
grizzled nova

even if you're being a good boy and kiting early, someone invariably kills something on top of them while they're moving

And it's not a skillmwe get to practice much

and it stops and decides to start its omega channel

and make the pull 30 seconds longer

the mob who casts this

teal swift

Dispellable, and kickable

thats him the emoji, while hes casting it

#

shit goes off on fort its basically rip key

teal swift
#

No it's not

#

Literally blood elf racial, mass dispel, single dispel,

Cc, wait it out

#

Like key timers are not tight at all

sick sentinel
#

is it he cast it on himself? or he cast it on everyone?

grizzled nova
#

ALSO

#

sanguine is bad because you're not kicking for ideal stops on priority things, you're burning kicks to get things to move so they don't get sanguined

#

which also tilts the fuck out me

chilly brook
#

What is a rip key is when infected thorn goes off instead of people kicking and you see your healer get one shot

sick sentinel

is it true you can still drag mobs in courtyard fires

and it kills them

# surreal thunder what should i put the default fight length at for just in general any sim? is 1m...

1 min is usually pretty bad, because a lot of things either explode and are trivial or last longer than that. Optimally, you adjust fight length for how long you expect something to be. If you expect to fight a boss for 3 mins, 3 mins. 8 minutes? 8 minutes. Attempting to sorta sim chain pulling with mobs not dying stagger style or anything? Adjust for that. You need to do multiple sims for different scenarios

which is why it's the default

#

but as Luerce said, learning to sim for different situations is a good skill

#

5min, 1 target is kinda the standard though

what time would u do for dungeons

#

im not a big raider

#

for dungeons it varies a lot as you'd expect

#

dungeon slice is an option, although it has a lot of caveats and doesn't work as well on all specs as it does on others, so i'm hesitant to recommend it

#

I'd do a few sims, like 3min 1 target to simulate a tyr boss, 1min30sec 5 target, 1min30sec 8 target, and kinda see what the trends are

#

yeah someone the other day told me to stop using it cause it doesnt track certain apl for the spec and recommended that i do patchwerk, 5 bosses

but honestly

#

the difference in most cases between just doing 1t 5min and simming a bunch of stuff for aoe is minimal

#

dungeons have so much variance that you can't just gear for one scenario and be perfect

surreal thunder
#

so should i just leave it as 1min for dungeons then since can't really pinpoint a time for it

no
