I mean I’m assuming everyone else does the same thing of just not being right on smolderon during intermission and staying a little back to get orbs and then going in
yeah, I mean, that portion of the fight is the exact same for everyone
Sorry for the stupid question y’all
you can check the bosses buffs to see how many orbs hes taken
and see if thats the problem
otherwise id say healer diff
Its not a stupid question
we did a heroic smoldy kill last night, was force to stack tornados at the outside of the room on the edge of the fire and just twiddle my thumbs each time because our rdruids can't dodge anything 
67% uptime on boss 
I think folks focus too much on the dodge and dont realize there are arrows that shoot out that you can see to not hit your friends with tornadoes.
and then the dodge is a pixel movement
congratz 😄
I mean boss should be on the edge for melee uptime and once the other tank gets the big tank soak you taunt? Right?
i play fury in raids, the ranged basically said fuck you and stood wherever so forced to run to an open spot regardless if i can hit the boss or not
was told to just deal with it dps doesn't matter
tornado people are supposed to be side by side on edge and/or on previous baits
dps doesnt matter in that fight is such an idiot take, he has an enrage
🤷

was told to sit if i didn't like it, we're finding a new guild for the next xpac
Baiting to the edge of the ring is fine but boss should ALSO be by the edge of the ring so melee can maintain uptime
100%
yup
So on our nymue kill last night
We had 9 melee right
So range was suffering soaking flowers
I had to sacrifice log to stand in range soaking flowers before 3rd add set

feels so bad
We got the kill though I’m happy with that
we had the same discussion
Literally staring at 2 warlocks being turrets 5 feet from soaks and melee are asked to go help
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
bUT My dPS
But yeah we're melee heavy
Just being a turret
To the point I'm considering going warlock myself
Like bro do your job so I can dps

I mean it is legitimate the most important thing
It was our prog kill though and we were totally demolishing the dps check so it made sense to do it
Good call by our RL to secure us the kill
Chances are the warlocks contributions to not stopping DPS was more than my arms ass was doing anyway
💯
Gotta collect them fury logs

Yeah I got a heroic gore howl in a bricked 21 last night
So fury might get undeleted
witness my collection of 2 handers
Ngl bro annihilator feels a lot like arms I think that’s why I’m enjoying it
WTB a single 483 2 hander, 50 +17 keys so far and not a single drop
mastery is poo
I put rampage on my ms bind, and bloodbath on my op bind, slam and whirlwind on the same binds
ima slap you brew
I enjoy the new fury more so than S2
Yes I hate to admit it but fury has grown on me the last few days
I’m totally a arms guy too
But..
Anni build fuk good
I haven't played arms since MOP
LOL tru
Hit CDs
zugzug
Ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp BB ramp

It feels so bad watching a SD proc time out and without using because
bloodbath>rampage>bloodthirst>exe

Going from arms where SD>>>>>MS>OP
To fury prio
Literal brain deplete
I hope they buff arms
I want to do big execute gamer
I’m only doing fury for prog
Yeah bro it’s not even close
Lot more passive healing
NGL though I saved a prog kill with dbts
Theirs another one I’m not remembering
Dbts and taunt to eat a soak on smokderon
I’m pretty sure I healed myself more than my healers on our nymue kill
Brew the Warrior healer

This reaction killed me
Fam “for next xpac” that’s like a year out l. Find one now
You will be raiding with AI soon anyway dont worry about it
I was doing that at first, and then I said fuckem and started just standing where I wanted, I can dodge shit
i can dodge shit, the ranged cannot, hence my responsibility to make the orbs tornados as easy as possible
make it make sense
learning to master being a melee class makes being a ranged/healer so much easier
learning to dodge shit up close prepares u for dodging it at range
If you can dodge a 🔧 you can dodge a ⚽
Then you have ranged that think they're melee
And drop extra poop in melee forcing you to move out
sounds like a hunter and mage thing
Shadow priests
maybe someone can help me out here.
I crafted the shield w shadowflame and the bracers. I have the cloak from DHT with haste/crit and I'm not sure what to craft/if to craft a 2nd shadowflame? Because then I have to replace the bracers, right?
you crafted the wrong bracers
youre 2/2 embelishes anyway
if you wish to replace your shield you gotta re-do bracers and do cloak
for now, do cloak
right
I'm going to upgrade my UFFB
shadowflame bracers are my next craft
So I can be a burning snowflake
since i had to craft allied for arms
and after that BR bracers
that will be it for me
maybe up a belt or something to have BR bracers as an option etc
and then there's nothing 🙂
I did shadow flame bracers and uh...I think since I replaced my shield I don't have a second
Should just make cloak I guess
Actually yeah cloak is my last piece that isn't at least heroic
I’m going double rings next reset I think
Debating holding 30 aspects so I can do two 486 rings

I am debating which race to switch my prot warrior to.... .currently he's Kul Tiran. Torn between the awesome armor models of human (and the rep gain) and DI Dwarf because they just look cool. (not sure how much of a benefit that indoor move speed is)
Dwarf
Like, dwarf is the only answer
if its for looks alone, any is fine
You can honestly pick your flavor
DI Dwarf or Vanilla Dwarf
Vanilla dwarf
Either, I enjoy bronzebeard heritage more than the Minecraft armor DI gets
stoneform mega value
go Worgen.. you can be a beast in combat or handsome for mog-off
Flaming hot dwarf gets mole machines
same i enjoy vanilla dwarf more, edgy looks are stupid
I always forget about this, even when I'm playing Mactier
This
Dark iron dwarves kinda only work with a few transmogs
plus they don't have the mohawk
C'mon tho it's RIGHT THERE
Yeah that fire beard is tempting... then again... how often do we see our character's face?
face? none
Are you me?
beard, always
Warhammer dwarf slayer is a peak aesthetic and it's a shame at no point have we gotten beard armor like Ironbreakers
Oooooo you just sold me on the Slayer
Get that furry little shield and an axe and presto, protslayer
Big Dwarf energy
Gorehowl matches the Bronzebeart armor, change my mind
It does match well
definitely wonder what the new big dwarves are gonna have racial wise
I dont think it matters if Horde gets stoneform since cross faction is a thing
would rather them get something a bit more..... unique
like a tunnel dash 😄
that would be cool
personally, I think stoneform (PVE content) is a bit too strong at least recently
Only because they've got a hard on for DoTs and not giving tanks a way to deal with them
100%
but its also strong for DPS
like, witches in WM
whole group is dwarf, nettles is a non issue
likewise though, if the whole group is humans, the tree boss becomes a lot easier
that bitter immunity talent for wars should have worked like stoneform
^
but I do really like the concept of stoneform and fireblood; I like seeing my warrior grow when I press Avatar and Stoneform together!
I just think in current PVE meta, they way too strong at a 2min CD
on top of the 2% crit damage
Like, if they want stoneform to be less critical, stop making bleeds that stack up to 1million damage
like, dogs in ToT, literally fucking stop
that one pack before 1st boss is just not fun if you're not a Dwarf or have a Prevoker
I push on a BDK, so its no problem for me
but yea, when I did it on my war Im like 'the fuck is this shit???'
even as a dwarf on fort weeks I can remove the bleeds and if they don't die within the stun window, I'm still popping all my CDs to not get eaten when they instantly restack
Spiders in BRH is another one
"Hope my healer is payin atten...nope
Fun fact
If you have a full absorb on you, the dot doesn't apply
From the spiders
So fyrakk trinket is OP on that pull
If only these would exist…
I mean yeah on my war im still running gift+signet
do hwhat
good evening
which one?
big shield
oh, same
thats why coccoon is super great for that pull
I think its alright... I dont like the vers on it and the damage is alright I guess
~6-7% damage between passive and shield while being a good defensive option is pretty good I feel like.
I guess; it felt nice in keys Ill give ya that
but in raid for sure feels weaker then other options at least for damage
Yea I can't speak for raid but I can't think of many trinkets that far outperform it while giving no defensive value in dungeons. None that provide both.
Ye but no defensive value besides main stat
yeah im kinda glad that blizz decided to spice tank trinkets this time around
both rageheart and ursine are interesting changes
im a little upsetty spaghetti that its all from raid though
what first pull do you guys do in dawn
on not bolstering?
no this week i mean
after tried rise yet...
people want to lust first pull but still not sure how much to get
you triple into giant
Ok
but usually I pull first 5 into first homie, homie drops shield and then we pull maiden lady
and lust
thats 2 kicks and a shitton of bleeds you gotta pay attention to but...
def not chaining into maiden
loving Compstomp as arms lol
you can use the shield to mitigate bleeds
Maiden ball, if aimed well, does damage to mobs and stuns
wait that shield mitigates damage for us too?
honestly, to time rise is like 100% that first trash area
you do that area well, and key is free
if the group is smart
they will stand inside the shield
in case a corrupting volley goes off
which it shouldn't but shit happens

those volleys are awful
one melee kick for each is basically required
and then you let the other things go through
thats another thing.... way too many kicks in recent dungeons
This is why VDH is meta
because they can lock down an entire pack
just 1 sigil
yeah, all the tanks are up there though tbh
tank balance still good, but the ability to interrupt/silence reliably is huge
I just think in general... way too many kicks
Paladin is doing great too because frisby
I would like to see blizz remove the amount of classes that can kick..... and reduce the amount of kicks in dungeons
Vdh is an outlier in damage atm
In addition to bringing the best dungeon utility currently other than maybe Paladin
vdh is also an outlier in superior kiting and superior cc
VDH always had awesome dungeon util
First part fuck no, second part yes
Kiting is rare
VDH has almost always been top damage tank
when warrior was overpowered, it was simply because we did alot of dmg
VDH no longer has to kite
It hasn’t been all xpac
Nor was it in SL
and then they get fuck loads of stuff
Vdh s1 was dogshit
when it comes time for balancing of tanks
Vdh s2 was propped up by the most broken tank tier set I’ve seen
I’m not
Lunchbox
I mean the tier set itself, not the overall spec
VDH has always been a popular tank except for like bfa
and even then i didnt see them cuz i played tank
The tier set was powerful enough to make a dumpster tier base spec into a very strong tank
damage is okay atm, they just need to look at utility/control
Whereas in SL BDK was already decent, plus gavel, and then tier just capped it off
i dont know if the answer is to nerf utility
I mean gavel made BDK do silly damage
but instead nerf the amount of fucking ccable shit in dungeons
but DRW uptime is what do it IMO
Exactly that’s my point. SL BDK wasn’t due to just the tier set, which is why imo vdh 10.1 tier is the biggest
DRW uptime was def insane but aoe brand uptime is simply better
yogi hot take time
It was what perma 40% parry + str that was fairly skill reliant vs perma 40% AOE DR + fire damage amp?
brand had to spread
i'd play something other than pwar if it wasn't ball busting just to get invited to groups
yeah i have to agree with Nish
what do u guys think of our tierset this patch? seems a bit underwhelimg
Like if vdh wasn’t at its core a horrible spec pre-rework, it would’ve been god emperor tier
Prot Warrior tier is very cool
but retail wow is just way too uptight for dps requirements
here comes the asmongold take
fights are too hard as dps

lol
IDK, this is the tier of healers imo
i know cause i have a buddy that fucking watches him religiously
so when yogi drops a take
and its the same fucking thing as him
i know
they are just parroting asmongold talking points
its just not fun going into a 22 and getting my booty smashed in everytime by some frostbolt bro cuz he didnt get kicked one time out of his 20 frostbolts so the frost bolt that did go off hits the healer and 1 shots them leading to deplete
im sorry, its really not
if you didnt you wouldnt get to 20s
and a lot of people didnt
people are just finding out how to get better
What does that have to do with dpsing being hard
cause they cant zug zug rotation

its so much cancer and worst, you have FIVE players doing the exact same things
4 of them have to do it nearly perfect
no, not perfect
But you don’t
Bro you play tank
They’re doing different things
Prot warrior specifically
Tanks, healers, and Dps all are conscious of different shit
A tank that gets fucked hard if people don’t kick specific casts
No different than a prot warrior being pelted by an absurd amount of bolts because your dps don't deem them worthy of kicks/stops.
You can’t be serious with this dps take
its not just me 1 guy and i fuck up a mission and i lose a ton of hp and take the heals on the map and i realized within 10 minutes of a 45 minute mission i can just restart the mission
and it doesn fuck over 5 people
this aint a solo game
thats my point
What are you even saying
Ok so go play classic boomer
with the amount of garbage that has been removed from keys i would say its actually easier than previous expansions
no seasonals
Agreed
nah, im not into classic either
What annoys me personally is the fact it feels like keys do literally nothing until you suddenly hit a wall where it’s insanely hard
Ok so stop playing wow lol
im into classic gaming really ps1 ish era
+2-19 is literally worthless
Like quake?
so, i'll go and get my ksm
You haven’t gotten KSM yet…..
honestly too true
Wtf
imagine doing 20s with ghunnies and thinking this fucking season is "hard"
jesus christ
How can you even think this season is hard?????
KSM is a completely meaningless achievement. Even KSH is much easier than say AOTC
Yup! Even some 20s are jokes. Went in and +3d a 20 AD the other night
Key difficulty and scaling needs a complete overhaul
All 20s are jokes
If you aren’t completely brainrotten
even thundering wasnt on the same plane of difficulty as ghuunies
not even fucking close
Agreed. It took me a week but I got my 5 alts doing weekly 20s
and its, there's guides and videos and shit that tell me what i gotta do, mostly if i post here its
"why did i die" > "you didnt shield block, reflect, ip , and you aimed it at the group and blah bla bla" OR its , i died cuz i was trying to show off
Low lug keys are horrendous
For sure
And that’s kinda the issue
Is that that 2-19 range is full of absolute droolers
and so like, its useless for me to post here besides confirme i got hit by whatever mechanic
yogi youre repeating a guy that does not play wow retail at all, try again
Even 20s now, which I just do bc I Cba with m+ this season, there tends to be at least 1 person way below the tank’s dmg
because asmongold does absolutely not play retail at all, except maybe to get carried by dorki
Like I had a bm hunter in a 21 DHT do 140k overall
Bring back ghunnie rage quits, probably one of the most toxic affixes
No wa I’m just learning this 
Almost depleted a 20 wcm this week because our priest was doing 60k HPS overall.
People were just rotting out through defensives
there is just too high of a knowledge ummmm
maximum memory allocation, and then actually remembering the shit
No, there is. The issue is that you don’t have any reason to learn until it starts to one shot you
lol
there is a billion things you need to remember
i guess that's true
No it’s “useless” because you’ve never bothered to dedicate effort to getting better at the game for the last 3+ years
So you get up into mid-20s keys not even knowing what mechanics do. Because 2-20 is worthless
its too much, so ill do my KSM of shame
literally mind controlled by an asmongold take
thats about it, and stay quiet until im excited again
Like I don’t even understand how you possibly fail or struggle in a key below a 16
Let alone single digits
Seeing depleted 8s and shit
Mind boggles me
My friend who has never played wow before is pugging 16s
Like keys are not too difficult
Let’s below 16s don’t get depleted because people are dieing, they get depleted because someone leaves
I started playing in s1 shadowlands and I remember 17s beating my ass even though at that point I was purple parsing heroic and blue parsing mythic
i just, i prefer something that i dont have the capability
People leave because everyone doing those keys has the collective intelligence of a bullfrog
to fuck up OTHER peoples time
Yup
and take them for a ride and screw them over as well
Pull your own weight and know the mechanics and you won’t
if you dont know what you need to do
Or just don’t suck
You do not need to know mechanics to time 20s and that’s a problem
That’s just the default theme this season 😁
Also read as “I don’t want to put in the effort to get good at the game and be at fault because of it”
I’m part of that problem admittedly. I literally get explained shit by guildies during our keys bc I haven’t bothered learning because I don’t need to
To get the highest rewards from the content
I don’t think even a good player should be able to just yolo a 20 blindly
M+ has zero progression other than title push
Surely you guys recognize the bubble we all hang out in right?
I had to explain the tank leech mechanic on p3 mythic larodar last night, after 50 pulls
I mean some people also don’t need nearly as much heads up knowledge about what’s going on, when I’m really practiced at wow I basically just go in and react to the new mechanics without watching a video tbh
KSM is a massive achievement for most people in this game
AOTC is a massive achievement for most people in this game
actually you put it that way
Every time someone says this I feel the need to point out I’m well aware of my skill level relative to the average player
I help friends get ksm every season
So do I
people straight up pay real money for ksm/aotc
RPers, mount collectors, that sort of thing
But the thing is they know the content is easy
KSM is markedly easier this expac compared to others tbh
Yes that is fair
Even they are capable of doing it without much effort
It is easier
so, ksm and aotc CLEARLY has a strong value
They just don’t bother
People give foreign scammers thousands of dollars
Does that mean those are valuable
No. People are just lazy/stupid
can someone explain how to reflect all 4 bats in darkheart?
anybody willing to pay 50 bucks to have his friends or others carry them through a raid for aotc
And it’s ok to be bad at the game
People pay real money as well as gold to skip leveling in DF zones, I fail to see your point
right, like, thats a serious player and they want to display it
i mean you dont even need to pay, you get max rewards at 17s
The issue is the game does not provide a good progression to help you gradually go from bad to good in mythic+
18s I thought
But yea
18s yea
the problem is up to 14's keys are a literal built for 10 year olds (dumb kind)
allowing for like 3 wipes
and you can STILL time
That is not a problem
It encourages the players at that skill level to complete the dungeon
they are such a steam roll up to 15 its not even funy
Bro I’ve had 3 wipes in 20s and still timed

https://youtu.be/GxKaIl4L8-U?si=XmB5RywiU0Y444Tu&t=1265 here, my buddy linked the point
The timers are fuckin lenient lol
You cannot cry about wow being to hard and then say 15s are steam roll
WHO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE RIGHT NOW?
It is. Why do so many key levels exist when there isn’t a meaningful progression gap until a high level
its true though
Like 2-10s have no need to exist
Just make them one key level
Make a 10 hard
We need a key level squish imo
I like Asmon, but his retail takes are cooked
its not true, youre parroting them KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THIS SEASON ISNT EVEN CLOSE TO HARD
He’s a washed player
I do agree with this
because yogi, you were around in legion and you were around in BFA
it is for me due to knowledge
All of his takes are cooked. He’s just a contrarian who thinks being a contrarian makes him more intelligent than the masses
We do not need +30 keys
He can’t come to terms with the fact that he’s the problem
Make 20s the hardest again like legion
nah nish not all of his takes are bad
i skipped all of the dungeons in this season the 2 legion ones and the everbloom one
The majority I’ve seen are
but that retail one is, cause he doesnt even play retail anymore, and also because its 100% bullshit
I don’t really agree with this
i know fall and 2 bfa dungeons
All of his WoW takes are awful
i am in lfr and this second tank is STACKED with gear
but sits in d-stance
he has 481 ilvl
wtf
I don’t think we need them in week 5. Which is where we’re at rn
I don’t think 20s should be a week 1 staple
Ebay account purchase
some people forget
its fine
pepehands
oh a scale user
he should have noticed after he did only 50k dps
🤷
Scale and rage heart
well rageheart is fine
I agree with asmons take about infinite scaling, I would personally like an end goal in M+ just like we have in Mythic raid
that man defensives
true
Doesn’t make sense with m+
i have hero version of haste one
I think infinite scaling is fine. What I think is dumb is when m+ streamers complain about like +32 keys being too hard/impossible
The whole idea behind it was for an infinite scaling difficulty and the rewards are stopped after a certain point anyways
got it through TW, got 4 more hero vault keys to run, might as well do those
agreed nish
And even in legion there wasn’t a cap
It’s not a hill I would stand on firmly, I’m just saying that I agree with the idea
@sick sentinel think the higher you go in M+ the more communication is needed and its a lot harder for pugs
i think normal keys should start from 1-10 and past that is bonus points, maybe 15's
@sick sentinel I think even Pika said there was a pug limit at like 22ish and that is generous haha
I’ve pugged 24s
It’s not hard
if you can do a 25 or 30, you just fuckin win and you like get a token for mythic raid gear any item except final boss
26+ is the pug limit
This tier? Fuck no lmao
Actual pug or did you filter with io score or whatever it is
The game filters wdym….
As opposed to inviting the first 4 people who apply?
no not that lol
Yeah 25/26 is when it gets very hard to pug
You put key up, people apply and you see their rating?
at 25s and 26s you need to be coordinated, maybe voice if necessary
Not sure what you mean
maybe even a little before that
Mmm not really if the players are good
One of my friends is like 3.3K rn and hasn’t done any voice comms
right that's coordination
Most of the keys I’ve timed for IO have been pugs
Including my 23s and up
I’m almost at 3k io as a dps from pugging
Last season I did like 3.1k or something without ever using discord other than just hanging with friends/guild
But 23 is very puggable
We did that 24 without coms
I was in voice for the couple of 25s I ran but that was more just hanging out bc friends invited me to tank
how often do u use Revenge?
Not like us trying to push io
Anyone who is saying the game is too hard rn just doesn’t play the game or refuses to put any effort in
Honestly not much
Combined group DPS of 137k
0 kicks or stops
Yeah I don’t understand how you do that lmao
I use whirlwind since it 360s and revenge doesn’t
Like you’re just half afk at that point
LOl
Galaxy brain
honestly. i was going to run a 20 wcm that one night i did a 19
Idk, my hunter at like 418 was doing 60-70k and I'm objectively shit at videogames
I can't say 20s are hard we failed a 21 EB this week
Like if you put in the bare minimum of effort
But mechanically they don't seem hard
its such a cool skill yet we dont use it much
but i was getting declined after completing the 19 and i tried like 4 or 5 groups and it was late and night monday
and then ya
But pugging can be iffy
it just never happened
You can easily do 100k+ on a Dps character that has gear from at least last tier
20s this season are basically 18s of last season it feels like
Idk, I’m trying to help a friend who hasn’t played since WotLK who’s struggling to do like 40k overall at like 450
As what spec
I mean, to be fair, I'd rather just not run keys than have someone like you tank
Outlaw
Outlaw punishes mis play hard iirc
thats fair i dont blame you
Blade flurry, ambush/ss, and dispatch id imagine are more than enough to just get you higher numbers than that
If you press them a reasonable amount
WHOLE UP
Who is this guy
Don’t disrespect my yogster bro
I mean I think the biggest problem is he’s either going to need to start key binding or be stuck where he is
It's not disrespect.
I've known Yogi for years though
Yogster is the king of doom
Outlaw without keybindings?
Bro yogi has been struggling to do KSM since beginning of SL, he hasn’t bothered to get better and never will
i am no master of doom sadly
Yogi is happy
I know I’ve been here to answer all the questions too 
I despair failing easy content.
there are tons of tricks you can do in doom very famous one being bfg shots
I'm jealous of Yogi lmal
im very bad at doom so i just face bfg everything
I wish I could be that dad gamer and chill
He is superior
Being shit, and not wanting to be shit, leads me to depression
the best way i know to use bfg is to line it up so it collides with the enemy and does damage twice
Yogi just vibing 
Yogi have you timed a 20 yet?
I couldn’t
Like legit couldn’t
Also, keeps talking about stuff no one knows about
If I don’t have something to grow at in WoW; then it’s really not that engaging
There’s better games out there if you wanna just chill
Am currently gearing
dirty hunter abusers
im so bad at doom, i cant even do that properly
Look at slide 3
I'm having fun
Yogi is already prepped to leap out of dios frontal
Bm is fun
i did a 20 with my 447 ilvl hunter but i died alot
BM hunter is actually an interesting spec, while rotationally the equivalent of a fisher Price set, it's been engaging and fun
i prefer rockets and chain gun
and as i got older, i now prefer the doom 1 single fire shot gun over ssg
i prefer the straight cosistant line pattern
The actual DPS requirements for 18-20 keys is really low lmao
Don't wipe on bosses
Pull reasonably
And you can time most keys pretty well
I’ve done a 20 BRH in time by like 6-7 minutes with the rest of the party besides myself below 100k
Also a very easy timer though
Point being they’re doable
Yeah, some keys are tighter than others
Just try
Augury owns
I haven’t had time to push io sadly.. I’m still sitting on a lot of 22s from like 3 weeks ago lol
I'm uh just not very good
And pugging is despair
I'd like to push with a mediocre 5 man
Got a 99 on nymue last night
Oh pog
Soft goal this season is all 24s going to shoot for 25/26 if I can convince guildies to bring a warrior
Wait 3 tank!?
Was on the monk up until nymue and swapped cuz I needed heroic crests
Homie was like “you can just go dps”
And I said “nah I wanna hit things with shield” so it turned into a “I’ll just do everything I can to take aggro” battle
Was funny
Good meme
One of the healers was just like “can you just go dps?!?”
Little did they know

"I am a DPS"
I mean.... I was timing 20s with everyone in last seasons gear
DPS leave 50% performance on the table and then spend 17 hours simming gems and whining about class balance
So true king
I should be ok with this but the 80s bother me
80 on prog screams you're playing correct though
But it could be better
📈
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJRm7REkWGQ surprise yogi video +19 wcm
its not fully HD so you might not be able to make everything out
but its finishing
Yogi Portals this season :pog:
Gz
recorded this 11 days ago
I'm not a fan of your UI xD
whoa yogi did a 19? that bad ass
Grats on key tho
LOL wtf is that spinning thing you do at the start
ohh there is boots toy and whatever i clicked
i need that
the boots does the poison trail and the other item does a forwards spin and fling ooze
matches transmog
jar of excess slime
a bit like the potion of gusts this expansion, 15 second cd, not in combat
boots, apprentice slimemancer's boots 5 minute cd trail for 3 minute buff
im just gonna spin around every 15 seconds
perfect transmog for UHDK or rogue(any but assassination mostly
just realized i need that ooze backpack thing
that video is now in HD
which horde race got that protection feel beside orcs
prots insane
Dwarf
Tauren are the obvious next up horde side
But yeah, dwarf or lady orc
Vulpera best horde prot warr race
what about trolls?:)
Hey Guys I am struggling with Aggro in m+ Dungeons.... Midnight I loose randomly Aggro in some Mobs and then I get panic.... Have you Guys some Tipps for me?
Possibly noob question - is snapshotting still in the game? I asked a friend and he said it was for certain classes - I imagine it's very important for Prot warrior given the tier set this rotation.
IE, If you have Demo shout up on a target, do the bleeds that get applied gain that damage buff for their entire duration, and if demo shout falls off, does that damage remain boosted when you Fervid Bite them all off?
Afaik, it's only left on feral druids
Ye only for ferals
Actually consider troll extremely underrated, berserking is such a solid racial and lines up well with our cooldowns. Also the healing they get in combat used to be a joke a long time ago but it’s actually something decent now
So demo shout only applies bonus dmg to the bleeds and the fervid bite when it's actually on
I play troll warrior since cata, not the most optimized, but the coolest looking
Racials are pretty ok, even if not god tier
Threat is generally just a "press more buttons" kinda deal, it's directly handled via dealing more dmg. So without logs I could only throw blanket statements
@coarse merlin
its dynamic
so yes
but you can cast bleeds before and then apply avatar/demo
and it will dynamically update
so no you cant extend buffed bleeds
because it will also dynamically update to their unbuffed versions
when both avatar and demo fade
Right, so we want to pop Fervid ideally with Avatar and Demo up when applicable
sure i guess if TR aligns with your demo and avatar windows
i don't get how crit is valued more than mastery. double block chance scaled twice as hard as parry chance on my toon without DR on stats
its around 50s on average with 4pc
and from what i see ip cant crit
but avatar averages at around 45s with AM
cause you dont need block chance
block chance is 100% when SB is up
if you mean crit blocks,~~ it scales slowly~~
and parry is full mit
crit blocks are capped
nobody really gives a shit if IP can crit or not
its a rage dump
in my testing crit block scales better than parry
and is 80% dr
what am i missing
Stats are based on damage and even defensive we have 100% block so mastery loses value
pretty sure someone has k-values handy for this season somewhere
just apply the k value to those formulas
even if they are dated for SL, the only thing that's changed are K-values
no
they go up every season (or tier in previous expansions)
and they depend on content type as well
heroic raid wont have the same k-values as mythic raid, keys might be uniform though
oh i see this spreadsheet
still tho on avg 1000 crit is about 5% parry and 500 mast is about 5% double block % for me.
Keys are uniform since the scaling is already built into the+ system
are you jumping the shock wave?
and double block is within the 85% cap
where at in the video
Reasoning is that we're already gaining 60% of the value of mastery just by properly playing and crit is total avoidance
from the captains haha not sure if that works or you were just jumping
does rezan trinkets bleed count as bleed for 2P/4P?
no
itd be insane if it consumed all bleeds
crit is valued more than mastery because with little mastery you already have a net benefit, and stacking it means you lose on uncapped DR
you're not supposed to stack a stat other than haste
so its best to do haste/vers on every peice of gear?
^no
and tier already has a mastery piece
mastery basically just more attack power
well i meant every peice possible cept 4 peice obv i was mostly asking if there is apoint where haste caps out
well lots of people have dumb nicknames don't take it for the truth
mmhmm
@uneven mason i guess youre a troll with your nickname too
who would have thought
Think they're going to buff prot in 10.2.5?
no reason to buff/nerf any tank at the moment
Sadly, most likely. But it would be nice to at least buff the damage
damage is fine
Eh, or nerf DH. The damage plus the chain silence is a little much, IMHO
more likely they remove double sigils for misery/silence
nah dont nerf
If they made challenging shout part of anger management that would be a lot of utility
let thunderous roar silence mobs
they havent done that outside of reworks
and i dont think they will start doing it now
Cause warrior is tanking as fuck
Tyrannical is a joke week on my warrior where my port pally can definitely get chucked if I screw something up
Even if you nerf the sigils, there's still a pretty big damage gap in m+, or at least that's my experience
Vs dh
Prot*
just put gag order back and/or safeguard, there prot has comparable utility
problem solved
Gag order would be so good
They need help too
what did gag order do?
But I find port war way more fun than port pally
cause bears have only 2 stops, if you combine vortex and knock
3s silence
silence on heroic throw
Added silence to heroic throw
Group spell reflection would be pretty nice too. Especially if it gave the 25% magic damage reduction
That would be too op
all of these suggestions are highly unlikely, if not completely impossible given blizzard's track record
Would have to be 25% reduction on party but in the warrior reflects
Eh, so few spells are reflectable
Only
Or give us the party shield wall since, with my preferred tanky build my shield wall is on like a 90 second CD really
cata classic coming soon you can get that there 😄
group anything would be too much, safeguard would be our answer to sac and to give intervene some play again, and gag order our answers to avenger's shield and sigil
that's all thats needed
I know everyone shits in Cara but I loved warrior in Cara
thats where tanking started for me
felt fun back then at least
although its not fun to play with devastate
Didn’t they remove the rage cost for devestate then and make it generate rage
Mop Arms is the GOAT though
we'll get another spark next week right?
ive crafted 3 aspects things this week
I’m either crafting both rings to 486 or using crests to get a 489 weapon if it drops
as of this week*
Fingers crossed
so its gotta be 4th craft no?
You could not have crafted 3 items unless you used last seasons spark
We only have two available it is week 5
Oh right I’m losing my mind
Next week is 4th
Jesus

Literally have 3 crafts equipped myself lol
Hey, would shieldslam macro work on defensives to cast then asap? Like ignore pain for example
Do not do that you will overspend rage
You only want to cast ip to prevent wasting rage by overcapping
Addressed an issue where Tormented Bloodseeker's Darksoul Bite is draining more health than intended in Mythic+ difficulties.
Might've already been posted but hoping this is a significant nerf. Such an annoying pack, even with kiting. It was 200k dps x4 before at +20. Anyone know what it is now? Can we engage the pack directly?
I though of it the other way
Once 😂
when I cast IP and I have a SS reset it'd go immedietly
Yes using the above is great
No
U dont hope for anything, if it gets a ss reset great. If not u press your ss bind pretty much next gcd anyway
Not a fan of macroing any abilities together. Off gcd stuff is on my mouse, on gcd stuff on the keyboard.
If I want to be pressing shield slam I will be, if I want to be pressing demo, or iv, or troar, or ravager, and I can't because pressing IP put me in a gcd I'll be mad.
An extremely uncommon tenth of a second gain on a shield slam isn't worth the loss of control.
u still press SS this doesnt save binds
Wasn't my point
This doesnt replace your SS bind and u dont use it too SS it is your IP bind and u only use when when u want to use ip
It doesnt chsnge anything
saves a key press since SS is glowing and what you'd push next anyway
It may spend a gcd on ss when I want to use IP and something else at the same time.
if I want to demo or iv to live something or ravager or troar for aggro they are
U press all of those ither before u have rage or you managing your rage so they wouldnt overcap u like u should be
So again no
Because u would press them then ip
Not ip then press them
They get pressed in the middle of pulls and rage cycles all the time?
U should be managing your rage so pressing any of those buttons
WILL NOT OVERCAPP YOUR RAGE
So pressing Ip before them is wrong
U press them after the dump
No u play bdk so u should be in archeus not here 🤷
Ah fair
If I'm on an 8 target pull and troar is coming off cooldown and I want to press troar, I don t want to wait an extra gcd because I was pressing ignore pain and devastator procced.
