None of the tanks are hard to play at a passable level
My other question: Do I make a Tauren or a Human? Which one is bigger dick
So yeah meme
fair enough
vdh is imo
Dwarf
^
Vulpera
Dwarf is short tho
You asked bigger D, I answered
maybe before this season it was a bit tougher, but its not anymore
I d have to try it this season, but last seasons/SL it was kinda hard to get aggro/establish a pull
thats all gone
they also buffed aggro
I went into hc not knowing anything about vdh in DF and never came close to death literally spammed generators and soenders
glaive throw holds aggro?
and/or EM
increased threat iirc
yes the rework increased damage substantially
agreed, i considered vdh hard because of what you had to do to pull
but in raid that doesnt exist
I mean I didn't have any problems in the 15s I did either, but I'm not pushing on the dh
It was a meme last season
Throw glaive was sad aggro
even if it was still, vdh would be fine
cause fiery sigil will just grab everything
and if not you still have elysian might into spirit bomb
The hunt!
and as far as defensives go... vdh is tankier than ever now
with illuminated sigils etc
Esp that ridic magic mit
All the tanks are great, pick your flavor
what you think of monk? I have never played it at a decent level (for me) but its abilities feel disconnected
this is so true
I've honestly not seen a Brewmaster so far this season. When I play on Alts it's all BDK and VDH
had a guy make brew and ask me if every tank has 40 buttons to press
I wouldn't know since I only played pwar at that time and so far only a bit of bdk and like 3 keys as ppal but holy hell
i mean we have close to the same
rotation just flows better on prot for me
you have like 5 small cds
but pwarr abilities feel 10 times better
and like 5 rotational buttons
like they actually do stuff
clunky with RSK which is why i dont like it
Monk has TP, rsk, SCK, fire breath and keg smash
and blackout kick
and all of them feel like silly little abilities (except keg)
I haven't touched brm since s1
Because at minimum there's 27 hotkeys and not many that make sense to macro
just should autocast rsk when you sck
Agreed I don’t play some classes that appeal to me because you’d have to keybind a piano to do it lol
but why have TP bok sck too?
right lets just have it be like a bm hunter where your 3 buttons cast 10 different interactions
brew d still have many buttons even if you remove 2 of the ones I mentioned (counting rsk)
Bring brm back to "The Fetid Log"

Buttons, what're those?
brm does huge damage at the cost of your personal mettle
like... ground targeted?
You could green circle location that sucker unlimited casts
It was fun
It was basically a tool for grabbing mobs
i wish for it everyday
It wasn’t a rotational button necessarily
Yeah that was peak monk
That's why my first monk was a Tauren named Donkakong
It’s been pretty dog since
Get some azerite gear and a heart of Azeroth for even more speed
now you just need banner
210% speed or it’s not enough
hack3r
we cant choose the helm enchant right?
Assuming it just morphs for your spec
Since DPS would probably take the defensive one and tanks want the dps one
lol yea
Because prot would give you sta
My first monk was a BrM named Sumtingwong
Mine was Biru
None of these sound like Donkey Kong
hey guys . what level of key does cheat death trinket is obliged to use ? cause i only did 20s with dps trinkets without any problem but i wanna push my io .
When you start dying through CDs
So, logically, never? With proper gameplay
just have to try on forti weeks . that's where tanking is rough .
yea cause basicly on every big pull where i know it's gonna hurt i wait to have all adds aggroed and ramp my shield block and IP and then shield wall . along with brutal vitality same. same with the 3rd boss on ttot when totem is down the amount of damage i recieve is a lot . idk if my openner is good but kept me alive . but i know there is better openner ones .
oh haha thay far ahead lmao .
u really dont need cheat death trinket
dont know why ppl think u need it for like a 15
yea cause i got it last night and wondering what level of key it's actually useful
people liking spoon fed bite sized info without any context
not liking, but i guess its moron-proof
so "easier"
ppl talk about it in hypotheicals which annoys me 'but if it procs'
cool it wont tho
or it might but that mistake was covered by better play

i could also just say what if u proc it on one pack then die the next
not doing much for u there
but fyrakk trinket might have been up for both cases
🤷
it will only proc i guess if you dont know what pack you pulling and what button you dont press
augury trinket ? or the tank trinket
I have a 441 scales, glad I'm not farming another one at 483 
nah it will get to a lvl where the mobs u pull will just proc it but thats where its supposed to be used
with 30+ 20s i did and 40+ 15+ i only died from dumbness hahah
example i rushes the spiders in brh
rushed *
and a healer doesnt dispel
or out of range
just dwarf
Is gonna be interesting to see horde and alliance have dwarves in well about a year
doesnt matter if they dont have stoneform or fireblood
earthen 20-25% larger than dwarves
why there are literally no faction anymore
this is true they won't have stoneform or fireblood, but it does beg the question will they get something like it or similiar
I mean they are like dwarves made of stone yeah ?
we will see soon i guess
yeah will be interesting how they shake things up
if i was blizzard i wouldnt give them an iteration of it
and then just continue to cash in on race changes
in affect I can't imagine it being much different than horde and alliance both being pandas
NA servers up

Or for that matter Horde and Alliance both essentially having a "version" of blood elves which are called "Void Elves"

What cooldowns do people do for mythic larodar? My guilds been to the last phase a few times and we had a 7% wipe but I feel like I could do the first phase better
i think pretty shit vault?
gdi
Looks like a socket
crab for fury maybe?
socket is quite useful 
For what
Should have one where peppo walks up all excited for loot and finds crap and storms off mad for vault
that would be me
yea

for my fury spec
well signet wont be replaced either if he doesnt do heroic
What's that
its fun 🙂
oh that butcher block though
its one of the worst trinkets
Wait do you mean block or ashes @jagged pier
u wanna loose haste?
youre kinda boned with that vault though, just sim
yeah it's a garbage vault
taking the high haste ring I guess
since I have shit rings
what do u think about BRH trinket?
As mediocre as it gets
i call that myth tier piece
Yeah pick chest
right
cool ty
how do we feel about spores of alacrity? if its trash ill prob just take the cheat death trinket
opening as prot, spicy
mistakes were made
debating on just going with a gem socket rn, myth cheat death trink is neat but i mean it seems like such a minimal upgrade from the hero track version, its gonna do its job regardless of that ilvl difference i think
Im sort of like, take the stonescales to have or a socket
but anyways you get a bonk
I have crafted cloak and wrists, what should I craft next?
ring with flavor pocket
or shield probably if you dont have a good one
thats my thought process with my 441, we only really want the effect, no use to farm (right now) it IMO
vault key stonescale players 🙂
i feel flamed rn 😢
is cataclysmic signet brand oversimming or is it really that good .. simming raid fight like 1 boss 5 min. I feel like its inflated in M+ cause stack drops but man is it really this good
So I am in the middle of simming my shiznizzle here. I have a question regarding leech vs avoidance. 489 tier piece ... avoidance or leech, the bot is tellin me avoidance.
happens a lot to me with my smaller one i have in doti .. all those long runs
roger let me hit it again
do we not like spores of alacrity in m+ over rezan or nightmare egg shell?
I dropped signet 4 times in brh and it still did 13k dps in that key
leech
It is just that fucking good
right on, thank you.
hell no
avoidance doesnt do a whole lot for us
thats what I was thinking, we need to get smacked in the face
no, thats not it
avoidance helps only for aoe damage
it should be on the tooltip
anyway if your sim is picking the avoidance piece, its def not because of avoidance
tertiaries are tertiaries
i guess i underestimated rezan
?
i had it sitting in my bag and was only using it in raid lul
im still chasing that thing down
i've gotten rezan like 3 times now but i have had absolutely zero luck on raid trinkets
Mythic Signet brand SMILE 🙂
gz pika
pog
i got helm enchant
Which weapon is better for us? The Servant Splitter or the Adulation Enforcer? Is it worth sacrificing the Haste/Vers for on equip effect?
HELMENT omegalul
oh u have to raid to get it
you sure do
But the counterweight is right there
haste gud
well
:chatting:
im still working on recoring overkill
But also wtf is that vault 4 fucking trinkets xd
all of the vaults posted so far have had a shitton of trinkets
double Smoldy 🙂
i am on the final 2-3 bosses of LFR as it were if i were to compare this game to wow raiding
its not super hard, but its tough
kek
but nothing competes with brand ^.^
yeah the helm enchant def changes when you swap spec
so cannot purposely choose which one u want
for the record
I've been wondering if that actually works. I'm at the tertiary speed cap, does azerite gear provide a direct speed increase or is it more tertiary? Cuz if former then hell yeah, if latter I'm SoL, but with the right spec I can average a roughly 116% run speed boost
def needed to confirm
it was in the PTR
nope
thats what i took
hello i have this trinkets prophetic stonescales (hero) and gift of the ursine (champ) a side from that my chest is hero and the chest on the vault is mythic (i have 4/4 tier)
Can anyone give some advice pls
chest
i got half a terrabyte of recording of that game cuz all the play throughs i found on yt were in low resolution
my chest is hero and the chest is mythic on the vault
ok ty
The other 2 trinkets are whack
better the i have?
reminder we get a cata charge today
They're marginally better, not worth to be picked from vault
does the armor from Frosted Armor Kit not give extra STR via AttT?
would that make Frosted worth taking over Fierce?
Yes
Rog
The stamina enchants got even worse this patch
Cuz they make up an even smaller % than they already did
wowhead page still saying Fierce, thats y i had to ask
Are our sim profiles updated to account for the counterweight change?
so does any other 
welp myth chest from my vault, so it wasnt that bad
Over half of wowhead still has advice for S2
You're absolutely in the right for questioning anything on that page
tbf, my wowhead bookmark is a link to bfa arms with Azerite options
and I still have the arms compendium from legion bookmarked
Is it just that bad? It always seemed to be really high on my overall compared to Rezan's, but it sims like 2.1K lower at max ilvl against a 483 Rez
I'd figure between a proc that hits for 239K, another that hits for 129K + 15% extra dam would be cranking harder.
But that's armor for you.
I'm sure it's probably better for non-phys heavy classes.
you gotta be fucking kiding me
vdh gets rageheart, chipadin gets augury
NIMCHIP GETS MYTH CHEST
i fucking hate my life
To brown class is to suffer
Do i need to change my loot to arms to get rezan trinket? Cant see this trinket on adventure guide with protection filter.
Yeah it's DPS
Obviously those other classes need more help
this head chant getting nerfed or what?
i had, bad crit mastery cloak with tleech, boots haste versa, and ring i posted
all hero track
so i took ring
but I have a hero rageheart and hero ursine vengeance
I could take myth bracers but I have shadowflame patch in that slot crafted
sounds like someone needs a socket
bruh I can't have anything go right can I
I already feel like ending it all for unrelated reasons and the vault's just like "yeah do it pussy" lmao
TBH, im just trying to get all of my slots to be minimum haste and hero
not really is a nerf to the raid and dungeons and stuff with them not needing to change numbers
hero or wyrm+ crafted
I sometimes play fury in keys when my raid cotank needs a person. How bad are the spores for fury?
for fury? bad
someone once told me here that anything with spores in it has been historically bad for us
god I really don't want to miss out on another myth piece but there's nothing good
I hate my life lmao
Anyone have trouble with Violent Outburst weakauras? Just made a super simple weakaura to display when I have the buff but for whatever reason it just doesn't display. Only "buff aura" one I've ever had problems with
Could be a number of things
maybe you could pick one up and see what they do differently
Wrong spell Id, load condition, etc
I just use Afenar's WA
Yeah I guess I'll just grab one from there, was just confused because it's the most simple basic weakaura, have like 10-15 others like it across my other characters with no issues
But yeah I'll grab one from wago
information is in a good placement
I might need some suggestion
I am not sure if any of those 3 trinkets from mythic is good for me so I am leaning toward the shield or ring. The ring got prismatic socket and speed in addition, is it worth that much or just F it go get shield and boost 17 ilvl from my old shield.
shield
every one I've seen has been absolute poo
shield is your #1 upgrade as prot
3 trinkets? I am so sorry
highest ilvl shield >>>> all
alright claiming shield
I mean, the porclen clab is pretty good for fury
Shield, even though you could craft a 486 one
What is this Fury everyone keeps talking about @lusty grotto help me
idk man idk
I got a myth iridikron shield from vault last week so of course the vault decided to give me a slightly worse myth shield this week
If you don't have a myth chest, take chest
please sim
Isn't that the resource dh uses
chest
That's what I thought
I did sim, neck is showing best
Prob cause all that juicy haste
are you simming on max ilvl?
I wasn't simming the chest at max ilvl
far as we know, is lfr giving same amount of echoed ephemera as normal/heroic mode this week?
i mean i would take the 489 tier piece
no it'll give more to make sure everyone completes the quest
I still have a 437 neck 
buddy did one wing of LFR and finished
from 40
craft neck, take myth tier chest
got it, guess ill just do lfr for it then
you'll never replace it lol
That's what I thought
Because they like watching
DPS get 1 shot
I got the boots finally the other day, after years of farming that stupid place, just thought I'd share.
Boots drop in a legion dungeon
there was no red boots in WoTLK
oh well
They're a rare drop offa boss that has a "CHANCE" to be up in assault on Dalaran
How does everyone get it? Do you get like a buttload per boss or something
i still have em
nimchip lying 
so is there any point in picking the neck? cause from what i can tell there is no way to use the nature side unless im missing something
pretty much
The effect doesn't matter even slightly
shh let me 1guy
that's a 
It loses nothing for the effect. Treat it like any other necklace
i did, i was more so asking if theres something that im missing with the proc. we have no way of doing nature correct?
Yes do not forget to water your plants 
also i aint lying
Yeah I was just saying, it took me several years running it on 4 characters, just shit luck

I got trolled hard too
Because I had dungeon on normal once and the normal version dropped
And I was like fuck yeah
Then I went to xmog and they went there
it'd be like that sometimes
Potions of Shocking Disclosure

helm enchant is pretty okay for fort
in a 22 eb
I'll take 13m extra health
does less damage than I expected it to
3% overall
not nothing, but I thought it was simming higher
So is that enchant from the raid quest?
yeh
you can finish it this week if you were behind
20 ephemera cap this week instead of 10
I was 2 behind as well
And when they are casters you just pray your team kicks?
Too used to bdk ppal vdh I guess
3% is the exact expected value
First time playing a fort + bolstering week
Doing 18-20 keys
Em
So it just means that pulling more than say 5 medium sized mobs is a a bad idea right?
Did waycrest and the spells flying off to anyone but me seem to melt anything
Just kill them at the same time
But yes, that is the danger, DPS and healers will get obliterated
But if thats not an option
Pulling small packs still usually allow me to time it i suppose?
And big thanks aye
Wcm brh and dht are going to be spicy this week
Ah fuck dht's flower fuck
And you can't do open to bears
Because the roars are unavoidable
Cats pounce will fuckup a DPS day
And we'll see how saucy the bats can be
Since that shit ticks hard on normal weeks
In dht
Ah
I wonder how its gonna be when people hard target one of the bear before the first boss
Im gonna die
476 gholak vs 483 reg 1h?
sim
I know everyone here hates tank trinkets but I've really loved the rageheart. It's so nice having an extra defensive for things like oakheart's grip
is protection sim accurate?
Yeah
wdym sim accurate
except for aug there's not a class that isnt sim accurate
as long as youre not expecting to sim healing or defensiveness, which arent really done on simcraft
and consequently on raidbots
its an ok trinket sure
there are just better ones
its great for aoe, but 3 min cd fucks it a bit
is it that big?
?
Actually??
Or meme?
It’s like 1-2% dps increase per person
na its actually 20% or even 30% in heroic

50% in mythic

does anyone know if there is catch up to the helmet thingy?
there is
True
15% increase boys let’s gooo

See we’re hyped now
15% helmet LETSGOOOOO
EB is EZ
my dungeon distribution makes no sense
lol?
my cotank just agreed to duel for the first heroic gholak that drops. Any tips on beating a prot paladin
EB is easy, except for this week lmao
RIP
cause we're gonna get giga fucked with flowers bolstering
Shattering throw
nah hes gonna lose
Yeah
That duel is not in good faith if he was the one who offered
And if u offered u deserve death (in game)
Tell him if he uses LoH or WoG procs he forfeits
Then it’s fair
Also can’t bubble
tell him he can only autoattack
pvp as prot is great
new tier set hits hard too
PvP is so dang deadge
apb youve beaten shitters
battlegrounds basically an unstoppable god
that doesnt count
so i put him in his place
would I have a better shot against her if I go fury
Riperature
Nomshom
Nomlinktotem
if you have 0 exp as pvp, you wont do shit yogg
I hit combatant a few times :(
they have to be absolutely fucking terrible to lose
Nomeriptide Nomeratotem is what i like so far
Nomeratotem is good
Menderatur

i like
nomerpills
nomeratidepods
too long
nomeratide
I dont wanna fuck with sims
wat
normal Gholak is gg, but how decent is LFR gholak
only trust robot
it was an upgrade, but like, idk, how many ilvl is that cantrip even worth i dont wanna sim every weapon i see drop in M+ lmao
i think the 463 lfr gholak beats 483 weapons but not 489 ones
kk, ty
i'll assume its like +20ilvl min
yeah i dont need certainty atm
SShoot
Its replacing a 463 with a 463
then it's a huge upgrade
i was too slow for Shameratur
Yeah, im chronically lazy, and do no content where my gear matters, I probably wont sim against it until i get a myth track anyways, but was more curious
Never wait for those… they take longer if you actively wait
Source: trust me bro
uhh simming takes like 3 minutes or some crap
I have to log into the char
change spec
then put input in, then gear compare
with imaginary gear i dont even have
lol
I figured someone, somewhere wouldve already simmed the cantrip
do you guys also sometimes have the issue that first boss in galakronds doesnt do his circle
havent experienced that yet
we just had this in a 25
I did
retried in 24 and had it two times as well
Nobody saw it in our case
yeah we wiped because our dps didnt see it
havent seen it either
careful you dont have particles off and dont see it
since im guessing you mean the soak circle
its done, seems to be like 17 to 20 ilvl worth of secondary stats
For me, we didn't see the initial jump, the "future" jump was seeable though
is the absorb shield on the volcoross neck worthwhile? I have it 489 in my vault and its simming as 0.1% compared to throne neck at 476 if I change around a bunch of gems and enchants. But its either that or myth track belt but we have larodar on farm and I am one of only 4 plate users in the raid =X
just not sure how good the absorb shield actually is since we can only proc half of it
yes
No, you don't consider the proc when making that choice
treat it as any other neck
the shield isnt that big of a deal
in fact it shouldn't be a factor at all
so when i asked is when i realized its only for nature damage haha
so it only even works on tindral mushrooms lol
yeah okay its bad
well dont need anythign special to suvive nymue
its negligible
she just kinda does nothing to me
Basically
thinking goldsteel sabatons unless the ember is a sleeper hit
its not
yeah, I've read that it's basically "one of the better defensive trinkets out of M+, and also still kinda bad"
Doesn’t the volo oroborus neck just negate corrupted potions essentially?
whats the ranking of tertiary stats?
Not considered
and how do the stat numbers convert to %?
GOTTA GO FAST
no percent
they're just random bullshit that make you smile in the morning
Speed indeed bis
A single point of any secondary is worth more than any amount of tertiary
well obviously
but if i have 2 tertiary stat pieces im wondering which one might be worth it
not sure how tertiary numbers convert to % like how much leech gives 10% leech
if they're the exact same piece, both with tertiaries
leech is bis
i dunno whatever makes you feel better
the rest who cares
how does leech transfer into %?
Leech is the only one that will actually benefit us, but you'd need to get a looooot of good gear that has leech on it already for it to be anything noticeable
is there a cap?
Speeed
the real bis tertiary is whatever one the powers that be deign to give you
brah i had 20% leech in season one
didnt have an issue getting anywhere
but literally just healing myself is very useful
do you know how much leech is equal to 1%?
im just curious mostly
i have 641 leech and it giving me 4.33%
Is leech worth 6 ilvl ? :p
na
Thought so, ty
148 leech per %
okay, but what if it's a piece that gives 500% leech tho
It's not worth using a non haste piece at equal ilvl IMHO
then it would be removed from the game
nah, it'd just be made DK only, i bet
Got pants tier mythic/heroic leech
man's gotta support his crew or somethin
that's why I was wondering
Would literally have no impact then 
One season, the vault will give me a full set of max ilvl leech gear 
Make sure you stack vers gear on it as well
I had 30% last season and it was great
They should put in things for Vault Currency that would add a Tertiary stat to gear
Only works on bracer and cloak, replaces enchats
almost done with that playstation then i can get back to probably wow
Also TFW you see another god of war being released and realize that the original gow was on the ps2
have been going hard on said game and trying to get a full recording of my playthrough of it
first playthrough took me 60 hours, this one has taken 48 hours so far, only handful of missions to go

wtf is this
buffed trinket, gonna have to test it
an okay vault
which trinket was buffed
when i simmed it seemed like a socket was better
one of the videos i saved is 4 hours long
sims arent updated
using rezans/rageheart
Spiked
counterweight was buffed
but we have no idea if sims are updated to take that buff into account
ah, i get to trim 75% of that video anyway
geez that took long for faction change
Might not terrible, also myth gloves
already got em otherwise would have xD
deadge
Did they buff it?
tier is nice for tc
Right I see
lets gooo
nice
Nice buff to counterweight, will be interesting how good it is now.
thats a good name
Any tips on how to tank m+ this week? I’m new so the affixes I’m not really familiar with
Don't gigga pull, try and get DPS to focus down Lt mobs first
What’s Lt mean?
Slow and steady wins the race
well not tooooo slow lol
grats!!!!!!!!
is it normal that on HC Tindral spawns over 50 seeds to soak in a 15 player raid?
gpu drivers again for nvidia
yes
but they hit for less
so you can soak more
I take 5-6 as DPS, no biggie
Can also immune them iirc
do we change fyrrak chest to tier chest ?
We have enough hast atm, so I'd say yes
so mast. is better than crit?
luerce i dont need to sim - when i have normal chest ^^
On top of that, the defensive value of stats are outweighed by just having stats as compared to any specific benefit for stacking specific stats, so offense is the only consideration
You can sim between tier and Fyrakk chest
hmmm
Ask a general question, get a general answer
Only sim will answer in the precise case
When you go to sim top gear, you can choose to catalyze gear and it'll take it into consideration
It's the little plus sign next to whatever piece you would catalyze
since i assume you mean you got a fyrakk chest and are wondering if you catalyze it into tier chest
Guys, what are good stats for us?
any, all are good, ilvl
Haste, Crit, and Vers are the high value on average, but mastery isn't bad, either
i got them like this
If you're looking for any breakdowns, like I mentioned above, just sim
for dps gain, but for defense?
you cant sim for defense
I recommend you scroll up to about 7-ish lines above where you posted
This conversation was had literally right before you asked
That one, specifically
sorry then
No worries, it got slightly buried by the talk about sim usage in general
Rezan doesnt doesn’t do enough party damage to warrant a healer
Hmm interesting 😄 but i love my cheat death trinket 😄
Yes, but it has "no dps value" in itself
probably even if you play around its proc
apparently raidbots is already updated for counterweight
the feeling pulling megapuls, its just amazing with knowing u have one more life 😄
ofc, but raidbot doesn't do feelings
It does math
beautiful, unbiased maths
(well, sortof)
U right
Cheat death is notable because it's the single best trinket at what it does in enabling specific pulls/strategies/timings, but is the single worst trinket in pretty much every other situation. If you go without using it or treat it "like an extra life", it gives you very minimal value in comparison to other trinkets out there. The stat provided by other trinkets would prevent you from needing an extra life, or there's trinkets like rageheart which have decent damage while having more overall defensive value (since rageheart gives you like a 400k shield every 1.5mins). However, you can use it to specifically enable degenerate mega pulls or to bridge gaps in mitigation on specific boss rotations as an example of how to use it intentionally. So it's a trinket whose value can't really be simmed; you'd have to figure out what trinket to sacrifice for it in that case.
The best example, why asking a more experienced Tank on Discord . TY i will try your advice
wat the deal with all these wild prot warrs i encounter running bolster with t31 4pc
Haven't updated their talents ?
Do I take Idol or ring?
Sims say Idol but
Idk if it's worth
Because if I get Eye
It's dead
I'd take ring
You can get better trinkets more easily than a good myth haste ring
Or helmet and catalyse it
agree ^
Or better yet
Get socket
And make your current rings better
That's even better imo
Choice is up to you
Had the same ring and took it, but mine was with socket :p
(had almost exactly the same scenario*)
Well yeah socketed myth haste ring in vault is very juice
I however pray to get augury in vault
I really want to get rid of my 2nd trinket
no idea what augury is
not interested currently
would be nice, but im in no rush
I don't think I'm gonna get augury before wow becomes ded game to me
Since the first test comes in about 6 days when an update comes to a fighting game I like
and second test in January when my favorite fighting game gets a whole ass new version that makes it playable online
What have they done to Spiked Counterweight?
10% more initial damage 40% to the damage buff cap
Insane trink, gotta kill Fyrakk to get
hi guys , what items you craft ?
Wrist, cape and ring if you do a 3rd generally
they buffed it
It now gives you $1 every time it deals damage
We should open vault as prot until we get a mythic level shield right
what cape you mean ?
Basic cape with shadowflame patch embellishment
Depends. Do you have a reasonable chance of killing Mythic Gnarlroot?
so you play 2x shadowflame ?
Yes
I feel like i do yea
Go fury then?
He drops a Shield.
did i lost somethink when i allready craft Unstable Frostfire Belt ?
Not really
thenx
spiked counterweight still bad after the buff today?
It's rppm
So it's super rng if it performs well or not
It can be insane
But it can also just suck
It's like the only decent thing in my vault this week lol
Pick socket
I already have heroic rageheart and heroic gift of ursine vengeance
ursine seems very mid
Then you're chillin
in my experience
It does about 3% overall dmg + grants on average 2% mainstat
So it does beat most other trinkets in m+
how much is 2% main stat vs just like 800 str on a trinket
oh ursine also has str on the trinket itself right
interesting
Correct
So you can treat ursine as a trinket that has 8% mainstat instead of 6%
And then does the dmg effect ontop
seems pretty good
one of the best visuals back drops in all of wow
Half the time I forget exactly what Trinkets I'm running in M+
If I lose my roll on augury again this week I’m quitting the game lol
My active trinket (if I have one) is always in slot 13 and I have that macrod (along with my racial) in with Avatar
It doesn't really matter what active trinket it is, or what it does, or how. It does stuff, and having it up in Avatar is almost certainly the best idea.
I'm sure this will annoy some people who have some micro-optimisation they care about, but I just send it
Anyone able to help
I had demo shout macrod into shield charge and tried to put my trinket in the middle but wouldn’t work
Macros terminate when they encounter a global cooldown, IIRC
yeah it does and so does shield charge if you use it within melee range
Any thoughts on heroic ursine versus heroic sandglass in keys? Other slot is locked to mythic rezan 😄
I took the mythic spiked counterweight from my vault for memes... this thing actually seems pretty good
missing out on possible strength from other trinkets tho
5 procs on it, so that's 75 seconds of 15% additional damage to the boss
That's not how it works
oh yea you're right
It does +15% dmg until you did 300k extra dmg
it's capped
The 4% dmg it did there
lol
Is in reality only 1%
Cuz you lose str
And get crit instead
Haste*
Which is a 3% dmg loss from just stats
So you basically got 1% dmg from this trinket vs just a raw stat stick
How often did you use rage heart?
not on CD
Yeah looks like it
I forget about it
Get this
that would help lmao
The amount of people who just "forget" to use their on-use trinket is too high
yea i mean the bubble is so good i try to save it for a defensive cd but should really just use it on cd
That's the conundrum with the trinket
It does good dmg when used on cd
But it's also a good defensive trinket
So holding it for defensive value diminishes its offensive value immensely
And vice versa
But also, you don't need defensive trinkets in raid, just send that shit on cd
Raid is all about max dmg
hey dudes, i'm new to tanking, the maggots in waycrest as i pull them out to courtyard really rip me up - i'm not sure how to sustain during that brief time. only time i feel vulnerable
you can spell block them too
ah ok, thank you
if you guys don't mind answering another question - i have the wa to track dmg ignored through ignore pain. when is it good to start focusing on damage?
the what
i have no idea what IP has to do with it but you can start focusing in damage from the start
@winter shard you do damage by using ignore pain with 4pc
i dont think hes talking about that
ok what about it
i didn't know if i'm supposed to get to some magic number and then focus more on dmg
I see, so not crutial at all to mitigation?
not really
it'll be up at all times if youre playing correctly
so its not really worth looking to see if its up or tracking its uptime
so after SB i can dump rage with revenge?
