Yeah, nothing like reduction in complexity to ward someone away

lusty grotto
#

err

#

are you memeing?

dusk cloak
#

He'd memeing

#

Prot warrior is pretty easy

uneven mason
#

None of the tanks are hard to play at a passable level

summer fulcrum
#

My other question: Do I make a Tauren or a Human? Which one is bigger dick

uneven mason
#

So yeah meme

lusty grotto
#

fair enough

Dwarf is short tho

lusty grotto
#

vdh isnt hard to play

#

not now

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

maybe before this season it was a bit tougher, but its not anymore

lusty tiger
#

has a fricken capital D in the name

#

Dwarf has the biggest D around

regal matrix
lusty grotto
#

thats all gone

lusty tiger
#

they also buffed aggro

uneven mason
# regal matrix vdh is imo

I went into hc not knowing anything about vdh in DF and never came close to death literally spammed generators and soenders

lusty grotto
#

you can get giga snap agro with fiery sigil

#

and or glaive throw

regal matrix
#

glaive throw holds aggro?

lusty grotto
#

and/or EM

lusty tiger
#

increased threat iirc

lusty grotto
#

yes the rework increased damage substantially

regal matrix
#

but in raid that doesnt exist

uneven mason
#

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

lusty grotto
#

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

uneven mason
#

The hunt!

lusty grotto
#

and as far as defensives go... vdh is tankier than ever now

#

with illuminated sigils etc

uneven mason
#

Esp that ridic magic mit

regal matrix
#

I have a geared bdk and ppal this season

#

but vdh and pwar look amazing too

uneven mason
#

All the tanks are great, pick your flavor

regal matrix
jagged pier
#

great

#

button bloat

#

doesnt need RSK

#

otherwise would be great

regal matrix
median tulip
#

I've honestly not seen a Brewmaster so far this season. When I play on Alts it's all BDK and VDH

grim pilot
#

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

jagged pier
#

i mean we have close to the same

grim pilot
#

yeah

#

pwar has plenty of stuff to press

jagged pier
#

rotation just flows better on prot for me

grim pilot
#

you have like 5 small cds

regal matrix
grim pilot
#

and like 5 rotational buttons

regal matrix
#

like they actually do stuff

jagged pier
#

clunky with RSK which is why i dont like it

regal matrix
#

Monk has TP, rsk, SCK, fire breath and keg smash

#

and blackout kick

#

and all of them feel like silly little abilities (except keg)

uneven mason
#

I haven't touched brm since s1

#

Because at minimum there's 27 hotkeys and not many that make sense to macro

lusty tiger
dusky canopy
#

Agreed I don’t play some classes that appeal to me because you’d have to keybind a piano to do it lol

regal matrix
dusky canopy
#

I want like 10-12 buttons max

#

After that it’s just annoying lol

lusty tiger
regal matrix
#

brew d still have many buttons even if you remove 2 of the ones I mentioned (counting rsk)

uneven mason
lusty tiger
uneven mason
#

Buttons, what're those?

lusty tiger
#

brm does huge damage at the cost of your personal mettle

dusky canopy
#

Bring back throwable keg smash

lusty tiger
#

like... ground targeted?

dusky canopy
#

Yes

#

When monk came out

lusty tiger
#

thats what ek is for i guess

#

i never played monk in mop

dusky canopy
#

You could green circle location that sucker unlimited casts

#

It was fun

#

It was basically a tool for grabbing mobs

regal matrix
dusky canopy
#

It wasn’t a rotational button necessarily

regal matrix
#

it was amazing

#

and then you burned the enemies for amazing damage

dusky canopy
#

Yeah that was peak monk

uneven mason
#

That's why my first monk was a Tauren named Donkakong

dusky canopy
#

It’s been pretty dog since

#

Get some azerite gear and a heart of Azeroth for even more speed

lusty tiger
#

now you just need banner

dusky canopy

210% speed or it’s not enough

lusty tiger

#

Think only druids get that though

#

Idr what max speed set is for non druids

uneven mason
#

Mastery stack a vdh

vocal nimbus
#

we cant choose the helm enchant right?

uneven mason
#

Assuming it just morphs for your spec

#

Since DPS would probably take the defensive one and tanks want the dps one

lusty grotto
#

yeah you cant

#

you get 1 enchant, it transform depending on your spec

uneven mason
#

Remember when feasts did that

#

And you had to swap to arms to get str

lusty grotto
#

lol yea

uneven mason
#

Because prot would give you sta

#

My first monk was a BrM named Sumtingwong

#

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 .

uneven mason
flat stratus
#

that's the thing i never tried more than 21 keys

#

i timed all 20s on both weeks

uneven mason
#

So, logically, never? With proper gameplay

flat stratus
#

just have to try on forti weeks . that's where tanking is rough .

lusty grotto
#

based on what you've said

#

never

flat stratus
#

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 .

jagged pier
#

like 25 +

#

when u use cheat death

#

maybe higher depending on comfort

flat stratus
#

oh haha thay far ahead lmao .

jagged pier
#

u really dont need cheat death trinket

#

dont know why ppl think u need it for like a 15

flat stratus
#

yea cause i got it last night and wondering what level of key it's actually useful

lusty grotto
#

people liking spoon fed bite sized info without any context

#

not liking, but i guess its moron-proof

#

so "easier"

jagged pier
#

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

lusty grotto
jagged pier
#

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

#

🤷

flat stratus
#

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

left basalt
#

I have a 441 scales, glad I'm not farming another one at 483 okayge

jagged pier
#

nah it will get to a lvl where the mobs u pull will just proc it but thats where its supposed to be used

flat stratus
#

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

lusty grotto
#

just dwarf

waxen cradle
#

Is gonna be interesting to see horde and alliance have dwarves in well about a year

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter if they dont have stoneform or fireblood

toxic pewter
#

earthen 20-25% larger than dwarves

jagged pier
#

why there are literally no faction anymore

waxen cradle
#

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 ?

lusty grotto
#

we will see soon i guess

waxen cradle
#

yeah will be interesting how they shake things up

lusty grotto
#

if i was blizzard i wouldnt give them an iteration of it

#

and then just continue to cash in on race changes

waxen cradle
#

in affect I can't imagine it being much different than horde and alliance both being pandas

toxic pewter
#

NA servers up

jagged pier
waxen cradle
#

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

It's pretty shit.

#

One of our lowest simming trinkets

soft plume
#

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

plush tendon

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?

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

uhh

ideally stacks only drop on RP

just like anvil last season

harsh trellis
#

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.

blissful iris

happens a lot to me with my smaller one i have in doti .. all those long runs

lusty grotto
#

also dont sim 5 mins for ST

#

sim 3 mins with lust

blissful iris
#

roger let me hit it again

soft plume
#

do we not like spores of alacrity in m+ over rezan or nightmare egg shell?

strong forum
#

I dropped signet 4 times in brh and it still did 13k dps in that key

strong forum
#

It is just that fucking good

harsh trellis
lusty grotto
#

avoidance doesnt do a whole lot for us

harsh trellis
#

thats what I was thinking, we need to get smacked in the face

lusty grotto
#

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

harsh trellis
#

oh there you go teaching me shit.

#

thank you

soft plume
#

i guess i underestimated rezan

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.

But yeah I'll grab one from wago

information is in a good placement

violet ginkgo

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.

what is it with vaults this week

Did waycrest and the spells flying off to anyone but me seem to melt anything

uneven mason

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?

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?

as long as youre not expecting to sim healing or defensiveness, which arent really done on simcraft

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.

the shield isnt that big of a deal

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

Sim, always sim

#

As you get stats, their value jumps around

long stone
#

luerce i dont need to sim - when i have normal chest ^^

pallid quiver

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

When you go to sim top gear, you can choose to catalyze gear and it'll take it into consideration

# cosmic dagger Hmm interesting 😄 but i love my cheat death trinket 😄

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.

It does about 3% overall dmg + grants on average 2% mainstat

how much is 2% main stat vs just like 800 str on a trinket

oh ursine also has str on the trinket itself right

The 4% dmg it did there

lol

strong forum
#

Is in reality only 1%

Cuz you lose str

And get crit instead

Which is a 3% dmg loss from just stats

So you basically got 1% dmg from this trinket vs just a raw stat stick

The amount of people who just "forget" to use their on-use trinket is too high

hollow hill
#

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

strong forum
#

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

that's a fair point
