blazing condor
#

thats the whole thing

devout star
#

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

blazing condor
#

🤷‍♂️

#

then nothing u can do

harsh trellis
#

yeah, I mean, that portion of the fight is the exact same for everyone

devout star
#

Sorry for the stupid question y’all

blazing condor
#

you can check the bosses buffs to see how many orbs hes taken

#

and see if thats the problem

#

otherwise id say healer diff

harsh trellis
#

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 critcake

#

67% uptime on boss okayge

harsh trellis
#

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 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

lusty grotto
#

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

#

🤷

left basalt
#

was told to sit if i didn't like it, we're finding a new guild for the next xpac

dusky canopy
#

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

left basalt
#

100%

lusty grotto
#

yup

dusky canopy
#

Your raid lead sounds

left basalt
#

also had a mage blame my wife for "aiming" her tornados at him

dusky canopy
#

Sounds like some heroic gamers my dude

#

Is what it is

left basalt
#

enough bitching we killed the boss

#

yup

dusky canopy
#

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

left basalt
#

did melee have to help?

#

are you in my guild

dusky canopy
#

Solid minute standing at range with thumb in rear

#

Fffff

left basalt
#

feels so bad

dusky canopy
#

We got the kill though I’m happy with that

left basalt
#

we had the same discussion

uneven mason
#

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

left basalt
#

bUT My dPS

dusky canopy
#

Exactly that too

#

Not specifically warlocks

#

But the ranged in general

uneven mason
#

But yeah we're melee heavy

dusky canopy
#

Just being a turret

uneven mason
#

To the point I'm considering going warlock myself

dusky canopy
#

Like bro do your job so I can dps

left basalt
dusky canopy
#

We had two melee between add set 2 and 3 just full flower duty 0 uptime

#

Dafuq

uneven mason
#

I mean it is legitimate the most important thing

dusky canopy
#

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

lusty grotto
#

ok just remember not to do that on reclear

uneven mason
#

Chances are the warlocks contributions to not stopping DPS was more than my arms ass was doing anyway

dusky canopy
#

Gotta collect them fury logs

uneven mason
#

Yeah I got a heroic gore howl in a bricked 21 last night

#

So fury might get undeleted

lusty grotto
#

witness my collection of 2 handers

dusky canopy
#

Ngl bro annihilator feels a lot like arms I think that’s why I’m enjoying it

left basalt
#

WTB a single 483 2 hander, 50 +17 keys so far and not a single drop

lusty grotto
#

mastery is poo

dusky canopy
#

I put rampage on my ms bind, and bloodbath on my op bind, slam and whirlwind on the same binds

lusty grotto
#

ima slap you brew

dusky canopy
#

OF on CS bind

#

Literally plays the same

left basalt
#

I enjoy the new fury more so than S2

dusky canopy
#

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

left basalt
#

I haven't played arms since MOP

uneven mason

It's so zero brain

#

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

uneven mason
#

Wtb arms buffs

#

Just 5%

dusky canopy
#

I hope they buff arms

#

I want to do big execute gamer

#

I’m only doing fury for prog

uneven mason
#

Hell, 5% on execute would probably put us in the top half

#

Fury has that survival

dusky canopy
#

Yeah bro it’s not even close

uneven mason
#

Lot more passive healing

dusky canopy
#

10% dr while enraged

#

10% dr from vers

uneven mason
#

NGL though I saved a prog kill with dbts

dusky canopy
#

Theirs another one I’m not remembering

uneven mason
#

Dbts and taunt to eat a soak on smokderon

dusky canopy

I’m pretty sure I healed myself more than my healers on our nymue kill

Brew the Warrior healer

You will be raiding with AI soon anyway dont worry about it

blazing condor
#

i already raid with AI

#

absolute idiots

uneven mason
left basalt
#

make it make sense

grim furnace
#

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 ⚽

uneven mason
#

Then you have ranged that think they're melee

#

And drop extra poop in melee forcing you to move out

grim furnace
#

sounds like a hunter and mage thing

uneven mason
#

Shadow priests

onyx pike
#

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?

lusty grotto
#

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

uneven mason
#

Not that embellishment is high enough impact to matter

#

There I said it!

lusty grotto
#

right

uneven mason
#

I'm going to upgrade my UFFB

lusty grotto
#

shadowflame bracers are my next craft

uneven mason
#

So I can be a burning snowflake

lusty grotto
#

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 🙂

uneven mason
#

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

dusky canopy
#

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)

uneven mason
#

Dwarf

dusky canopy
#

Dwarf is bis

#

Human also looks good

uneven mason
#

Like, dwarf is the only answer

lusty grotto
#

if its for looks alone, any is fine

dusky canopy
#

You can honestly pick your flavor

summer bay
#

DI Dwarf or Vanilla Dwarf

lusty grotto
#

but dwarf IS bis

#

any

#

most of us go reg

dusky canopy
#

Vanilla dwarf

lusty grotto
#

for just a tad more crit

#

but either is bis

uneven mason
real fossil
#

stoneform mega value

plush sorrel
#

go Worgen.. you can be a beast in combat or handsome for mog-off

royal marten
#

Flaming hot dwarf gets mole machines

lusty grotto
#

same i enjoy vanilla dwarf more, edgy looks are stupid

uneven mason
royal marten
#

Dark iron dwarves kinda only work with a few transmogs

#

plus they don't have the mohawk

uneven mason
#

But the fire beard

#

Like I appreciate the firebeard

royal marten
#

C'mon tho it's RIGHT THERE

summer bay
#

Yeah that fire beard is tempting... then again... how often do we see our character's face?

royal marten
#

face? none

uneven mason
royal marten
#

beard, always

#

Warhammer dwarf slayer is a peak aesthetic and it's a shame at no point have we gotten beard armor like Ironbreakers

summer bay
#

Oooooo you just sold me on the Slayer

royal marten
#

Get that furry little shield and an axe and presto, protslayer

uneven mason
royal marten
#

Big Dwarf energy

uneven mason
#

Gorehowl matches the Bronzebeart armor, change my mind

royal marten
#

It does match well

#

definitely wonder what the new big dwarves are gonna have racial wise

uneven mason
#

Probably this

#

So you can have stoneform on horde

plush tendon
#

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

uneven mason
#

AE Root

#

causes rock hands to pop up and grab baddies

plush tendon
#

personally, I think stoneform (PVE content) is a bit too strong at least recently

uneven mason
#

Only because they've got a hard on for DoTs and not giving tanks a way to deal with them

plush tendon
#

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

lusty grotto
#

bleed reflect

#

🙂

#

LOL

dusky canopy
#

That’s what we need

#

Only warrior

#

Bleed immune

plush tendon
#

that bitter immunity talent for wars should have worked like stoneform

dusky canopy
#

^

uneven mason
#

remove the heal

#

just make it remove all debuffs

plush tendon
#

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

uneven mason
#

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

plush tendon
#

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???'

uneven mason
#

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

echo egret
strong forum
#

I mean yeah on my war im still running gift+signet

silent vessel
#

good evening

uneven mason
#

My BDK has the Fryguy trinket

plush tendon
#

which one?

uneven mason
#

big shield

plush tendon
#

oh, same

lusty grotto
#

thats why coccoon is super great for that pull

plush tendon
#

I think its alright... I dont like the vers on it and the damage is alright I guess

solemn current
#

~6-7% damage between passive and shield while being a good defensive option is pretty good I feel like.

plush tendon
#

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

solemn current
#

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.

plush tendon
#

Gnarlroot's Branch slaps

#

plus, main stat

solemn current
#

Ye but no defensive value besides main stat

lusty grotto
#

yeah im kinda glad that blizz decided to spice tank trinkets this time around

#

both rageheart and ursine are interesting changes

plush tendon
#

im a little upsetty spaghetti that its all from raid though

toxic pewter
#

what first pull do you guys do in dawn

plush tendon
#

on not bolstering?

toxic pewter
#

no this week i mean

plush tendon
#

after tried rise yet...

toxic pewter
#

people want to lust first pull but still not sure how much to get

lusty grotto
#

you triple into giant

toxic pewter
#

Ok

plush tendon
#

but usually I pull first 5 into first homie, homie drops shield and then we pull maiden lady

#

and lust

lusty grotto
#

thats 2 kicks and a shitton of bleeds you gotta pay attention to but...

toxic pewter
#

def not chaining into maiden

uneven mason
#

loving Compstomp as arms lol

lusty grotto
#

you can use the shield to mitigate bleeds

plush tendon
#

Maiden ball, if aimed well, does damage to mobs and stuns

toxic pewter
#

wait that shield mitigates damage for us too?

lusty grotto
#

yup

#

and yup

plush tendon
#

honestly, to time rise is like 100% that first trash area

#

you do that area well, and key is free

lusty grotto
#

if the group is smart

#

they will stand inside the shield

#

in case a corrupting volley goes off

plush tendon
#

me and my group share one braincell

#

and we do fine

lusty grotto
#

which it shouldn't but shit happens

plush tendon
toxic pewter
#

those volleys are awful

plush tendon
#

one melee kick for each is basically required

#

and then you let the other things go through

uneven mason
#

oh holy crap, Comp stomp takes 5min tops and gives 35 flightstones

plush tendon
#

thats another thing.... way too many kicks in recent dungeons

uneven mason
#

because they can lock down an entire pack

#

just 1 sigil

plush tendon
#

I mean, its very good

#

in tankiness, damage, util

uneven mason
#

yeah, all the tanks are up there though tbh

#

tank balance still good, but the ability to interrupt/silence reliably is huge

plush tendon
#

I just think in general... way too many kicks

uneven mason
#

Paladin is doing great too because frisby

plush tendon
#

I would like to see blizz remove the amount of classes that can kick..... and reduce the amount of kicks in dungeons

waxen frigate
#

In addition to bringing the best dungeon utility currently other than maybe Paladin

sick sentinel
#

vdh is also an outlier in superior kiting and superior cc

plush tendon
#

VDH always had awesome dungeon util

waxen frigate
waxen frigate
uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

when warrior was overpowered, it was simply because we did alot of dmg

plush tendon
#

VDH no longer has to kite

waxen frigate
sick sentinel
#

and it dont feel nice or right

#

that we have lil bit dmg

waxen frigate
#

Nor was it in SL

sick sentinel
#

and then they get fuck loads of stuff

waxen frigate
#

Vdh s1 was dogshit

sick sentinel
#

when it comes time for balancing of tanks

waxen frigate
#

Vdh s2 was propped up by the most broken tank tier set I’ve seen

plush tendon
#

2nd most

#

dont forget SL BDK

waxen frigate
#

I’m not

waxen frigate
#

I mean the tier set itself, not the overall spec

sick sentinel
#

VDH has always been a popular tank except for like bfa

#

and even then i didnt see them cuz i played tank

waxen frigate
#

The tier set was powerful enough to make a dumpster tier base spec into a very strong tank

lusty grotto
#

damage is okay atm, they just need to look at utility/control

waxen frigate
#

Whereas in SL BDK was already decent, plus gavel, and then tier just capped it off

lusty grotto
#

i dont know if the answer is to nerf utility

plush tendon
#

I mean gavel made BDK do silly damage

lusty grotto
#

but instead nerf the amount of fucking ccable shit in dungeons

plush tendon
#

but DRW uptime is what do it IMO

waxen frigate
#

DRW uptime was def insane but aoe brand uptime is simply better

plush tendon
#

I dont agree

#

DRW 100% uptime, 40% strength is silly

sick sentinel
#

yogi hot take time

waxen frigate
#

It was what perma 40% parry + str that was fairly skill reliant vs perma 40% AOE DR + fire damage amp?

plush tendon
#

brand had to spread

sick sentinel
#

i'd play something other than pwar if it wasn't ball busting just to get invited to groups

lusty grotto
#

yeah i have to agree with Nish

tired forge
#

what do u guys think of our tierset this patch? seems a bit underwhelimg

waxen frigate
#

Like if vdh wasn’t at its core a horrible spec pre-rework, it would’ve been god emperor tier

lusty grotto
#

its not underwhelming at all

#

shit take

plush tendon
#

Prot Warrior tier is very cool

sick sentinel
#

but retail wow is just way too uptight for dps requirements

lusty grotto
#

here comes the asmongold take

sick sentinel
#

fights are too hard as dps

plush tendon
lusty grotto
#

lol

plush tendon
#

IDK, this is the tier of healers imo

lusty grotto
#

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

sick sentinel
#

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

lusty grotto
#

this hasnt changed since legion

#

you HAD to kick shit in legion keys

sick sentinel
#

im sorry, its really not

lusty grotto
#

if you didnt you wouldnt get to 20s

#

and a lot of people didnt

#

people are just finding out how to get better

waxen frigate
plush tendon
#

cause they cant zug zug rotation

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

its so much cancer and worst, you have FIVE players doing the exact same things

lusty grotto
#

its a dogshit asmongold take

#

its a team game

sick sentinel
#

4 of them have to do it nearly perfect

lusty grotto
#

no, not perfect

chilly brook
#

Bro you play tank

waxen frigate
#

They’re doing different things

chilly brook
#

Prot warrior specifically

waxen frigate
#

Tanks, healers, and Dps all are conscious of different shit

chilly brook
#

A tank that gets fucked hard if people don’t kick specific casts

solemn current
#

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.

chilly brook
#

You can’t be serious with this dps take

sick sentinel
#

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

lusty grotto
#

this aint a solo game

sick sentinel
#

thats my point

lusty grotto
#

your team either delivers, or it doesnt

#

kicking aint hard

sick sentinel
#

im saying that the difficulty in wow, is too much

#

and i dont enjoy it

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

with the amount of garbage that has been removed from keys i would say its actually easier than previous expansions

#

no seasonals

waxen frigate
#

20s are easier than they’ve ever been

#

They’re a fucking joke

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

nah, im not into classic either

waxen frigate
#

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

chilly brook
#

Ok so stop playing wow lol

sick sentinel
#

im into classic gaming really ps1 ish era

waxen frigate
#

+2-19 is literally worthless

waxen frigate
sick sentinel
#

so, i'll go and get my ksm

chilly brook
#

You haven’t gotten KSM yet…..

plush tendon
chilly brook
#

Wtf

lusty grotto
#

imagine doing 20s with ghunnies and thinking this fucking season is "hard"

#

jesus christ

chilly brook
#

How can you even think this season is hard?????

waxen frigate
#

KSM is a completely meaningless achievement. Even KSH is much easier than say AOTC

timber nest
waxen frigate
#

Key difficulty and scaling needs a complete overhaul

waxen frigate
#

If you aren’t completely brainrotten

lusty grotto
#

even thundering wasnt on the same plane of difficulty as ghuunies

#

not even fucking close

timber nest
#

Agreed. It took me a week but I got my 5 alts doing weekly 20s

sick sentinel
#

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

timber nest
#

Low lug keys are horrendous

waxen frigate
#

For sure

#

And that’s kinda the issue

#

Is that that 2-19 range is full of absolute droolers

sick sentinel
#

and so like, its useless for me to post here besides confirme i got hit by whatever mechanic

lusty grotto
#

yogi youre repeating a guy that does not play wow retail at all, try again

waxen frigate
#

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

lusty grotto
#

because asmongold does absolutely not play retail at all, except maybe to get carried by dorki

waxen frigate
#

Like I had a bm hunter in a 21 DHT do 140k overall

torpid rose
waxen frigate
#

And he was like 480

#

Like what the actual fuck

#

How

dusky canopy
waxen frigate
#

Almost depleted a 20 wcm this week because our priest was doing 60k HPS overall.

#

People were just rotting out through defensives

sick sentinel
#

there is just too high of a knowledge ummmm

lusty grotto
#

no

#

there isnt

#

its the same or slightly easier

sick sentinel
#

maximum memory allocation, and then actually remembering the shit

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

lol

sick sentinel
#

there is a billion things you need to remember

lusty grotto
#

i guess that's true

chilly brook
waxen frigate
#

So you get up into mid-20s keys not even knowing what mechanics do. Because 2-20 is worthless

sick sentinel
#

its too much, so ill do my KSM of shame

lusty grotto
#

literally mind controlled by an asmongold take

sick sentinel
#

thats about it, and stay quiet until im excited again

waxen frigate
#

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

chilly brook
#

My friend who has never played wow before is pugging 16s

#

Like keys are not too difficult

timber nest
#

Let’s below 16s don’t get depleted because people are dieing, they get depleted because someone leaves

waxen frigate
#

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

sick sentinel
#

i just, i prefer something that i dont have the capability

waxen frigate
sick sentinel
#

to fuck up OTHER peoples time

sick sentinel
#

and take them for a ride and screw them over as well

lusty grotto
#

you are

#

you are fucking other people's time

timber nest
lusty grotto
#

if you dont know what you need to do

waxen frigate
#

You do not need to know mechanics to time 20s and that’s a problem

timber nest
chilly brook
waxen frigate
#

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

waxen frigate
#

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

dusky canopy
#

Surely you guys recognize the bubble we all hang out in right?

timber nest
#

I had to explain the tank leech mechanic on p3 mythic larodar last night, after 50 pulls

chilly brook
dusky canopy
#

KSM is a massive achievement for most people in this game

#

AOTC is a massive achievement for most people in this game

sick sentinel
#

actually you put it that way

waxen frigate
#

I help friends get ksm every season

dusky canopy
#

So do I

sick sentinel
#

people straight up pay real money for ksm/aotc

waxen frigate
#

RPers, mount collectors, that sort of thing

#

But the thing is they know the content is easy

chilly brook
dusky canopy
#

Yes that is fair

waxen frigate
#

Even they are capable of doing it without much effort

dusky canopy
#

It is easier

sick sentinel
#

so, ksm and aotc CLEARLY has a strong value

waxen frigate
#

They just don’t bother

waxen frigate
#

Does that mean those are valuable

#

No. People are just lazy/stupid

junior olive
#

can someone explain how to reflect all 4 bats in darkheart?

sick sentinel
#

anybody willing to pay 50 bucks to have his friends or others carry them through a raid for aotc

waxen frigate
#

And it’s ok to be bad at the game

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

right, like, thats a serious player and they want to display it

lusty grotto
#

i mean you dont even need to pay, you get max rewards at 17s

waxen frigate
#

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

lusty grotto
#

18s yea

sick sentinel
#

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

dusky canopy
#

That is not a problem

#

It encourages the players at that skill level to complete the dungeon

sick sentinel
#

they are such a steam roll up to 15 its not even funy

chilly brook
lusty grotto
chilly brook
#

The timers are fuckin lenient lol

dusky canopy
lusty grotto
#

WHO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE RIGHT NOW?

waxen frigate
sick sentinel
#

its true though

waxen frigate
#

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

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

its not true, youre parroting them KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THIS SEASON ISNT EVEN CLOSE TO HARD

chilly brook
#

He’s a washed player

dusky canopy
lusty grotto
#

because yogi, you were around in legion and you were around in BFA

sick sentinel
#

it is for me due to knowledge

waxen frigate
dusky canopy
#

We do not need +30 keys

chilly brook
#

He can’t come to terms with the fact that he’s the problem

dusky canopy
#

Make 20s the hardest again like legion

lusty grotto
#

nah nish not all of his takes are bad

sick sentinel
#

i skipped all of the dungeons in this season the 2 legion ones and the everbloom one

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

but that retail one is, cause he doesnt even play retail anymore, and also because its 100% bullshit

chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

i know fall and 2 bfa dungeons

waxen frigate
#

All of his WoW takes are awful

silent vessel
#

i am in lfr and this second tank is STACKED with gear

#

but sits in d-stance

#

he has 481 ilvl

#

wtf

waxen frigate
#

I don’t think 20s should be a week 1 staple

silent vessel
vocal flame
lusty grotto
#

some people forget

silent vessel
lusty grotto
#

its fine

silent vessel
#

pepehands

lusty grotto
#

oh a scale user

silent vessel
#

he should have noticed after he did only 50k dps

lusty grotto
#

🤷

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

well rageheart is fine

dusky canopy
toxic pewter
#

that man defensives

chilly brook
#

You have rageheart you don’t need scale

lusty grotto
#

true

sick sentinel
#

i have hero version of haste one

waxen frigate
chilly brook
#

The whole idea behind it was for an infinite scaling difficulty and the rewards are stopped after a certain point anyways

sick sentinel
#

got it through TW, got 4 more hero vault keys to run, might as well do those

waxen frigate
#

There’s always going to be an upper limit

#

Accept that

lusty grotto
#

agreed nish

chilly brook
#

And even in legion there wasn’t a cap

dusky canopy
#

It’s not a hill I would stand on firmly, I’m just saying that I agree with the idea

vocal flame
#

@sick sentinel think the higher you go in M+ the more communication is needed and its a lot harder for pugs

sick sentinel
#

i think normal keys should start from 1-10 and past that is bonus points, maybe 15's

vocal flame
#

@sick sentinel I think even Pika said there was a pug limit at like 22ish and that is generous haha

sick sentinel
#

and then 25 and 30 key if you time it

#

its you win the game at that point

lusty grotto
#

nah thats not the pug limit

#

pugs can do 25s

chilly brook
#

It’s not hard

sick sentinel
#

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

lusty grotto
#

26+ is the pug limit

vocal flame
chilly brook
waxen frigate
#

As opposed to inviting the first 4 people who apply?

vocal flame
#

no not that lol

dusky canopy
#

Yeah 25/26 is when it gets very hard to pug

chilly brook
#

You put key up, people apply and you see their rating?

lusty grotto
#

at 25s and 26s you need to be coordinated, maybe voice if necessary

chilly brook
#

Not sure what you mean

lusty grotto
#

maybe even a little before that

waxen frigate
#

One of my friends is like 3.3K rn and hasn’t done any voice comms

lusty grotto
#

right that's coordination

chilly brook
#

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

dusky canopy
#

Same

#

I do have some guild keys as well tbf

waxen frigate
#

Last season I did like 3.1k or something without ever using discord other than just hanging with friends/guild

dusky canopy
#

But 23 is very puggable

lusty grotto
#

i didnt do voice at all last season either

#

except when with friends

dusky canopy
#

We did that 24 without coms

lusty grotto
#

brew was on a run with me and we werent in voice lol

#

last season

waxen frigate
#

I was in voice for the couple of 25s I ran but that was more just hanging out bc friends invited me to tank

tired forge
#

how often do u use Revenge?

waxen frigate
#

Not like us trying to push io

chilly brook
#

Anyone who is saying the game is too hard rn just doesn’t play the game or refuses to put any effort in

lusty grotto
#

LOl

waxen frigate
sick sentinel
#

honestly. i was going to run a 20 wcm that one night i did a 19

teal swift
#

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

waxen frigate
#

Like if you put in the bare minimum of effort

teal swift
#

But mechanically they don't seem hard

tired forge
sick sentinel
#

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

teal swift
#

But pugging can be iffy

sick sentinel
#

it just never happened

waxen frigate
#

You can easily do 100k+ on a Dps character that has gear from at least last tier

silent vessel
#

20s this season are basically 18s of last season it feels like

chilly brook
waxen frigate
#

As what spec

teal swift
chilly brook
#

Outlaw

waxen frigate
#

Outlaw is fairly hard, especially if they’re coming from wotlk

#

But still

dusky canopy
#

Outlaw punishes mis play hard iirc

sick sentinel
#

thats fair i dont blame you

waxen frigate
#

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

dusky canopy
#

Who is this guy

#

Don’t disrespect my yogster bro

chilly brook
teal swift
#

It's not disrespect.

waxen frigate
#

Oh if he’s clicking as outlaw

#

That explains it lmao

teal swift
#

I've known Yogi for years though

dusky canopy
#

Yogster is the king of doom

teal swift

Arcane mage typing all skill inputs

#

Do it

#

chilly brook

#

i am no master of doom sadly

teal swift
#

Yogi is happy

dusky canopy
teal swift
#

I despair failing easy content.

sick sentinel
#

there are tons of tricks you can do in doom very famous one being bfg shots

teal swift
#

I'm jealous of Yogi lmal

sick sentinel
#

im very bad at doom so i just face bfg everything

teal swift
#

I wish I could be that dad gamer and chill

hollow sun
teal swift
#

Being shit, and not wanting to be shit, leads me to depression

sick sentinel
#

the best way i know to use bfg is to line it up so it collides with the enemy and does damage twice

teal swift
#

Yogi just vibing critcake

dusky canopy
#

Yogi have you timed a 20 yet?

chilly brook
#

Like legit couldn’t

hollow sun
#

Also, keeps talking about stuff no one knows about

dusky canopy
#

Maybe I can get ghash to run one with us

#

Iirc we said we’d do one with you

chilly brook
#

If I don’t have something to grow at in WoW; then it’s really not that engaging

teal swift
#

My hunter hit 70 late last week

chilly brook
#

There’s better games out there if you wanna just chill

teal swift
#

Am currently gearing

sick sentinel
#

here, look this is is how to get max dmg out of bfg

silent vessel
#

dirty hunter abusers

sick sentinel
#

im so bad at doom, i cant even do that properly

dusky canopy
#

Look at slide 3

teal swift
dusky canopy
#

Yogi is already prepped to leap out of dios frontal

chilly brook
#

Bm is fun

silent vessel
#

i did a 20 with my 447 ilvl hunter but i died alot

teal swift
#

BM hunter is actually an interesting spec, while rotationally the equivalent of a fisher Price set, it's been engaging and fun

silent vessel
#

we still timed it

#

:kekl:

sick sentinel
#

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

teal swift
#

Don't wipe on bosses

#

Pull reasonably

#

And you can time most keys pretty well

dusky canopy
#

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

teal swift
#

Yeah, some keys are tighter than others

dusky canopy
#

Just try

chilly brook
#

This was an 18

#

We still timed it comfortably

dusky canopy
#

Holy!

#

Augury fuks good

chilly brook
#

Augury owns

teal swift
#

I have not ran all that many

#

But probably KSH angle next week?

dusky canopy
#

I haven’t had time to push io sadly.. I’m still sitting on a lot of 22s from like 3 weeks ago lol

teal swift
#

I'm uh just not very good

#

And pugging is despair

#

I'd like to push with a mediocre 5 man

chilly brook
#

Got a 99 on nymue last night

teal swift
#

Oh pog

dusky canopy
#

Soft goal this season is all 24s going to shoot for 25/26 if I can convince guildies to bring a warrior

chilly brook
#

Committed to a 3 tank bit

#

For the memes

dusky canopy
#

Wait 3 tank!?

chilly brook
#

Was on the monk up until nymue and swapped cuz I needed heroic crests

#

Homie was like “you can just go dps”

dusky canopy
#

LOL

#

Bing chillin

chilly brook
#

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

chilly brook
#

Little did they know

dusky canopy
#

Hell yeah homie blastin

uneven mason
#

"I am a DPS"

sick sentinel
#

i see now

#

well, the one guy was 450, i thought that said 480

plush tendon
#

I mean.... I was timing 20s with everyone in last seasons gear

teal swift
sick sentinel
#

the druid and evoker are actual gamers

#

480 ilvl and 4 set

#

nearly 3 k

chilly brook
#

I should be ok with this but the 80s bother me

teal swift
#

80 on prog screams you're playing correct though

chilly brook
#

📈

teal swift
#

100%

#

But at least it wasn't grey or worse green

True

#

Volcoross is a lot of fun tbh

Grats on key tho

toxic pewter

LOL wtf is that spinning thing you do at the start

sick sentinel
#

ohh there is boots toy and whatever i clicked

toxic pewter
#

i need that

sick sentinel
#

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

toxic pewter
#

lol i have both toys im gonna start doing that

#

thats great lmao

sick sentinel
#

boots, apprentice slimemancer's boots 5 minute cd trail for 3 minute buff

toxic pewter
#

im just gonna spin around every 15 seconds

sick sentinel

perfect transmog for UHDK or rogue(any but assassination mostly

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?

young wasp
#

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?

restive scroll
strong forum
#

Ye only for ferals

toxic pewter
# tired forge what about trolls?:)

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

young wasp
#

So demo shout only applies bonus dmg to the bleeds and the fervid bite when it's actually on

restive scroll
#

I play troll warrior since cata, not the most optimized, but the coolest looking

#

Racials are pretty ok, even if not god tier

toxic pewter
#

My first warr was Troll

#

my first character even

strong forum
cinder robin
#

@coarse merlin

lusty grotto
#

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

young wasp
lusty grotto
#

no not really

#

you pop it when its up

young wasp
#

I mean for Thunderous at least

#

other bleeds I could care less about

lusty grotto
#

sure i guess if TR aligns with your demo and avatar windows

azure smelt
#

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

lusty grotto
#

its around 50s on average with 4pc

azure smelt
#

and from what i see ip cant crit

lusty grotto
#

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

azure smelt
#

and is 80% dr

lusty grotto
#

no

#

its not

#

its capped

azure smelt
#

what am i missing

lusty grotto
#

here you go

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

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

azure smelt
#

google says k values in s1 12824.94

#

i assume its the same now

lusty grotto
#

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

azure smelt
#

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.

uneven mason
vocal flame
azure smelt
#

and double block is within the 85% cap

sick sentinel
#

where at in the video

dusky canopy
#

I just press button and big number happen

uneven mason
vocal flame
sick sentinel
#

im a jumper in quake 3 and unreal as well yes

#

old habits die hard

timber nest
#

does rezan trinkets bleed count as bleed for 2P/4P?

sick sentinel
#

no

lusty grotto
sick sentinel
#

itd be insane if it consumed all bleeds

lusty grotto
#

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

formal tartan
#

so its best to do haste/vers on every peice of gear?

silent vessel
#

^no

lusty grotto
#

and tier already has a mastery piece

lusty grotto
#

read pins

sick sentinel
#

mastery basically just more attack power

formal tartan
#

well i meant every peice possible cept 4 peice obv i was mostly asking if there is apoint where haste caps out

lusty grotto
#

we wouldnt know

#

if only someone had it on their nickname

#

oh well

#

maybe one day

formal tartan
#

well lots of people have dumb nicknames don't take it for the truth

lusty grotto
#

mmhmm

#

@uneven mason i guess youre a troll with your nickname too

#

who would have thought

keen iris
#

Think they're going to buff prot in 10.2.5?

vocal nimbus
#

no reason to buff/nerf any tank at the moment

keen iris
#

Sadly, most likely. But it would be nice to at least buff the damage

lusty grotto
#

damage is fine

keen iris
#

Eh, or nerf DH. The damage plus the chain silence is a little much, IMHO

lusty grotto
#

more likely they remove double sigils for misery/silence

vocal nimbus
#

nah dont nerf

stable flower
#

If they made challenging shout part of anger management that would be a lot of utility

vocal nimbus
#

i'd rather buff the rest than nerf something

#

so everyone has their fun

lusty grotto
#

yeah i agree

#

but hard to place additional utility on a class out of the blue

vocal nimbus
#

let thunderous roar silence mobs

lusty grotto
#

they havent done that outside of reworks

#

and i dont think they will start doing it now

stable flower
#

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

keen iris
#

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

stable flower
#

Prot*

lusty grotto
#

just put gag order back and/or safeguard, there prot has comparable utility

#

problem solved

stable flower
#

Gag order would be so good

lusty grotto
#

but then what do they do about bears

#

and brews

stable flower
#

They need help too

vocal nimbus
#

what did gag order do?

stable flower
#

But I find port war way more fun than port pally

lusty grotto
#

cause bears have only 2 stops, if you combine vortex and knock

keen iris
#

3s silence

lusty grotto
#

silence on heroic throw

stable flower
#

Added silence to heroic throw

vocal nimbus
#

ah true

#

i dont have the game in englihs

keen iris
#

Group spell reflection would be pretty nice too. Especially if it gave the 25% magic damage reduction

stable flower
#

That would be too op

lusty grotto
#

all of these suggestions are highly unlikely, if not completely impossible given blizzard's track record

stable flower
#

Would have to be 25% reduction on party but in the warrior reflects

keen iris
#

Eh, so few spells are reflectable

stable flower
#

Only

keen iris
#

Yeah, that would be fine too

#

Nice utility for high keys

stable flower
#

Or give us the party shield wall since, with my preferred tanky build my shield wall is on like a 90 second CD really

blazing condor
lusty grotto
#

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

stable flower
#

I know everyone shits in Cara but I loved warrior in Cara

blazing condor
#

thats where tanking started for me

#

felt fun back then at least

#

although its not fun to play with devastate

stable flower
#

Didn’t they remove the rage cost for devestate then and make it generate rage

#

Mop Arms is the GOAT though

blazing condor
#

we'll get another spark next week right?

dusky canopy
#

Yes

#

Craft 3 next reset

blazing condor
#

ive crafted 3 aspects things this week

dusky canopy
#

I’m either crafting both rings to 486 or using crests to get a 489 weapon if it drops

blazing condor
#

as of this week*

dusky canopy
#

Fingers crossed

blazing condor
#

so its gotta be 4th craft no?

dusky canopy
#

You could not have crafted 3 items unless you used last seasons spark

#

We only have two available it is week 5

blazing condor
#

idk i got 3x 486 crafts

#

both embellish and a ring

dusky canopy
#

Oh right I’m losing my mind

#

Next week is 4th

#

Jesus

#

Literally have 3 crafts equipped myself lol

unreal abyss
#

Hey, would shieldslam macro work on defensives to cast then asap? Like ignore pain for example

dusky canopy
#

Do not do that you will overspend rage

#

You only want to cast ip to prevent wasting rage by overcapping

pale karma
#

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?

blazing condor
#

at least we can spell reflect it

#

i did two +20 DHT today and they felt fineish

unreal abyss
pale karma
#

Once 😂

unreal abyss
#

when I cast IP and I have a SS reset it'd go immedietly

blazing condor
#

there is a macro for that that people use already

dusky canopy
#

Yes using the above is great

novel temple
#

Ooo, I like that

#

So basically Thunder Clap ignore pain, and hop that ss reset

jagged pier
#

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

novel temple
#

Seemingly it saves time though

#

I’m getting those boomer hands and mind now

grizzled nova
#

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.

jagged pier
#

u still press SS this doesnt save binds

grizzled nova
#

Wasn't my point

jagged pier
#

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

pale karma
#

saves a key press since SS is glowing and what you'd push next anyway

grizzled nova
jagged pier
#

Theres nothing higher on prio

#

Than ss

#

On the gcd

grizzled nova
#

if I want to demo or iv to live something or ravager or troar for aggro they are

jagged pier
#

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

grizzled nova
#

They get pressed in the middle of pulls and rage cycles all the time?

jagged pier
#

U didnt read what i wrote

#

But okay

grizzled nova
#

Yes I did.

#

But okay.

jagged pier
#

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

sick sentinel
#

why does this 2 hand have to be such ass

jagged pier
#

Ask one of the dps channels

#

Not the prot channel

sick sentinel
#

i wish there was a 2 dmg version of this instead

#

i dont play arms fury anyways

jagged pier
#

No u play bdk so u should be in archeus not here 🤷

sick sentinel
#

nah, i gave up bdk

#

hes a rat

jagged pier
#

Ah fair

grizzled nova

#

i play retail protection warrior and i play diablo 2 and then i play old games

thats about it really.
