yeah its weird

#

still of course hard to find healers

ionic fern
#

At least you're not in a guild group where all the guildies who want to join you are hunters.

blazing condor

#

Je, wild.

blazing condor
#

man i need to get good trinkets soon danderson

#

and hc gholak

ionic fern
#

Same

#

No real other options.:(

blazing condor
#

i got champion sandglass + hc branch

#

and cheat trinket in bag

ionic fern
#

Don't think i have any raid trinkets

#

Maybe todays vault will provide me one.

blazing condor
#

branch is at least decent damage

#

does like 6-7%

sick sentinel
#

ho ho hosetown to you all

#

im santa yogi come fo give you all bullshit gifts in your eu vaults

blazing condor
#

thanks yoge

sick sentinel
#

i already stole myth timeways trinket from vault so i won for chrisfmas

opaque quest
#

Santa Yogi provide me with a new Xbox SX controller

#

Mine broke today

sick sentinel
#

let me guess, stick drift?

#

if yss, always were

#

ever since 360 ms controllers the sticks will eventually drift and die

opaque quest
#

No drift

#

Never had drift

#

Left stick sometimes doesnt register

sick sentinel
#

and the AXYB buttons start to stick and not register properly

#

other than that, i think 360/series s controller is the best controller on the market

#

even despite its flaw, its the defualt controller for many

opaque quest
#

I loved my 360 controller. Then i bought 2 X1s and used them till today

sick sentinel
#

its actually durable and adult man hand sized

opaque quest
#

One had L1 stop working now the second has the stick issue. I might try third party controllers this time like PDP

sick sentinel
#

you can throw an xbqox controller at the wall as hard as you can and it will probably still function

#

just buy new xbox controller walmart, should be on sale rn, i prefer offical ones myself

#

offbrands tend to have same issues but die much faster

opaque quest
#

Im in germany. No walmart here

#
#
sick sentinel
#

pdp one will be fine just dont come crying to me whnenit breaks in 2 months

#

i find official ones best overall but yoj do what makes you happy

opaque quest
#

Ive always used OEMs too

#

But having 2 break in 6 months is meh

mild jolt
#

Im currently Simming what crafted item could improve my gear.

But since sims only cover DPS, i was curius about the def value of some stuff.
While the Darkmoon Trinkets all sim Around 1,5k-2k dps higher (Currently using Fyrak Def and Branch)
How good is the Deff Darkmoon trinket Defense wise?

Is the Sustaining Alchemist Stone worth it with its STR Proc ?
Ofc the Rings are also a Option with haste/Versa and the socket (ill using Lariat Curently with 7 Sockets)
In pocket ill got a Ring of Abomination on 470 ( Haste/Versa).

Im a bit torn apart currently what to do, maybe you guys can help me. Ill post my current sim, to look at Gear

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/mQuvmduRYFcoJmX9ZiJYoy

blazing condor
#

i feel like the darkmoon / alch trinkets are weird in sims

#

cus they always sim high

mild jolt
#

im more concernd about the Defensiv value, for dps its "easy" to make a decision. Thats why i dont know about the Stone or Darkmoon trinket.
Stone gives Versa and Stat proc, what seems nice

#

the stone has a PPM of 1

All the crazy DPS numbers posted here do you all have Gholok and Signet is that how you are doing it?

theyre a cool drop but also very limiting in how youd transmog them

#

for EB 20+ this week, when do we ask for lust? I dislike lashers so I'm usually thinking 2nd pull, but do people just usually do asap?

#

pulling those casters into the next mobs is annoying

lusty grotto
#

1st pull

#

council

#

and/or mage

#

timing fits for

#

1st pull, 1st boss, 3rd boss

#

but if youre having problems with council its doable there (if you wipe)

#

and/or wait it out

blazing condor
#

think we did 1 seed but he died just affter

left locust
#

1st pull first boss? I figured it was first pull 2nd boss but gotcha

plush tendon
#

depends on timing tbh

lusty grotto
#

i mean it depends on your route

#

and yes timing

plush tendon
#

we pull a lot in the first zone, but we can go nuts on how many flowers we can pull at once

lusty grotto
#

like i think its kind of a waste on 1st boss but shrug

plush tendon
#

since Im dk and we have a ret paladin

#

the play for me is to pull as much of the stuff in area to first boss, then on the way to the second boss stay to the left and skip all the aboms

lusty grotto
#

eh

#

aboms arent that bad

#

if you solo pull them

#

on fort i mean

plush tendon
#

gross

lusty grotto
#

serkies are the real problem

uneven mason
#

Single pulls?

lusty grotto

so my route avoids as much of them as possible

#

as in, not double aboms

uneven mason
#

What do you think this is

#

Brm chat?

lusty grotto

you can pull a lot of shit with 1 abom

# cosmic wyvern why does everyone hate bolster :( I like bolster

I hate it because it means relying on your average mouth breathing DPS players interrupting properly to deal with high bolster stacks, and they never do.

Lost count of how many 5 stack Soul Bolts went off last week while the DH stood there with his kick unused.

lusty grotto
#

good luck surviving flower bolster stacked aboms in EB

kickable casters arent a problem

the problem is everything else

sick sentinel

the crafted isn't as powerful as max rank myth gear

no

I'm not talking about bolstering

so if you are able to get myth gear in slots we dont normally craft in this season anyway,

cosmic wyvern

I fucking hate bolstering

#

bolster = last stand is less shit

#

I like bolster :)

median tulip
#

Oh that. It's ok, it just has much less synergy with anything else this season, so the points are best spent elsewhere

lusty grotto
#

bolster is shit without cdr

no cdr on last stand = bolster is garbage

it's an extra defensive for things like oakheart/deios

# cosmic wyvern it's an extra defensive for things like oakheart/deios

lets discuss this a bit, the only 2 things that bolster does is a 1 min reduction on a 5 3 min cd and it gives you SB. Guess what? If you're doing a boss thats taking more than 4 mins from your last first LS use, you're already doing something completely wrong in a key. Your use count will be absolutely the same with or without Bolster in both bosses because realistically bosses shouldn't last 4 mins + whatever seconds since your last first LS use in their first buster. Furthermore the other part of that is that SB does absolutely jack shit against Deios breath and Oakheart's grip. So what are you really gaining from taking it?

TL;DR: you have 2 max uses on both Deios and Oakheart with or without Bolster, and the SB does nothing against them.

#

because the answer is absolutely nothing

#

might as well have an untalented node

plush tendon
#

LS is 3 mins though

lusty grotto
#

fundamentally bolster in itself needs a change, to either give something else than SB, and/or to add back LS into AM

#

well, the point still stands

#

2 uses max

plush tendon
#

I member when AM gave LS CDR

lusty grotto
#

yeah that was BFA

#

and bolster was hard slotted back then

#

Colossus tree might add something for LS, im thinking

#

and if that's the case then Bolster might come into play again (other than whatever sets come around in TWW)

#

can 2h leggo drop in prot spec?

The 20ilvl increase was more worth to me than bracers that would’ve been a non upgrade

lusty grotto
#

thats fine

modern gazelle
#

Plan is to craft bracers still though just haven’t got myth track helm

lusty grotto
#

well you should have 4 sparks anywya

vocal flame
#

4?

lusty grotto
#

so you can just recraft patch out and into bracers

toxic pewter
#

why do I keep seeing people saying tott is free am i missing something

modern gazelle
#

No point crafting bracers atm though cause I have myth track and 2 embellish already

lusty grotto
#

because its free in tyr week

toxic pewter
#

ozumat tho?

modern gazelle
#

It’s really not hard besides last hall on fort week

lusty grotto
#

what about ozumat

toxic pewter
#

boss owning my group right now

lusty grotto
#

we melt it with SR

modern gazelle
#

Which boss is that?

blazing condor
#

ozumat is as hard as your group makes it

toxic pewter
#

i dont understand the reflect situation i exit melee range and he literally casts a groupwide damage ability is that what i am reflecting

#

am i missing something with that

#

I guess thats just the normal aoe damage he does

vocal flame
#

Did I miss something with the sparks? I am getting my 3rd this week. Or is it because I don't raid

toxic pewter
#

should have 4 sparks now

vocal flame
#

the crafting ones right?

modern gazelle
#

Oh, ozumat is fine if people just stack and clear. People just don’t know how to place pools. Also they need to group for adds so we can get agro easier but some just run from you making it a pain

lusty grotto
#

you have to SR after the group casts, he wont do it when you pull

modern gazelle
#

Is there Tech for Ozumat reflect I’m unaware of?

toxic pewter
#

Ok that makes sense thanks

#

i will do that next time

modern gazelle
#

I am trying to think what I reflect on that boss usually but drawing a blank

blazing condor
#

if you as the tank arent in melee

#

he sends out a foul bolt

vocal flame
blazing condor
#

so you can purposefully run out of melee with reflect up

#

and reflect the bolt

#

same way youd do it in Nokhud Offensive in S1 for the tempest boss

modern gazelle
modern gazelle
#

Then back into melee range I’m assuming so it doesn’t keep casting

vocal flame
#

That would be sweet cause I still have not been able to upgrade my 463 neck yet critcake

lusty grotto
#

this is the kind of shit i have to deal with on chipadin vault keys

#

nobody fucking died

modern gazelle
#

Hate that shit. Especially when you have PLENTY of time to time keys and people still leave

blazing condor
#

three manned a dungeon like that

lusty grotto
#

i pulled the titan into the baby fucking 2 pack he pulled

#

and we smashed it

modern gazelle
lusty grotto
#

also that hpal

#

notice how he says

blazing condor
#

honestly though people who pull "for me" can fuck off

lusty grotto
#

TRY TO PULL EVERYTHING

#

and then he says

#

IF YOU PULL FOR TANK AGAIN I LEAVE

#

wtf?????

#

YPYT BRM and completely undecided hpal

#

im half tempted to tank on chipadin just because of vault keys

#

but i fucking hate it

but boss dps is rough

My guys. I've been cruising on BDK and after getting 480 ILVL i think its time to add in a alt. Thinking about prot war or pally. What's the main thing which makes you guys like prot this much? i dont really care what's better right now since i'm not doing 30's

Prot feels smooth to me, also spell reflect is satisfying af

Prot paladin sounds/animations are very meh in comparison, other than avengers shield

So that's what drawing me

balmy canyon

SR is great... until dps decide that's the one cast they're going to kick the entire pull

pallid quiver

also you're a simp if you're a pally, always begging the light for help

Well that's basically just AS x a billion kek

Okay i shall join you brothers i will roll a prot warrior. And leave my pally to rot this season

Also, the overall class fantasy. No light and magic bs, Just you and your shield

And it serves as free advertising when people share recaps

Like please I can live even without them kicking. Kick the casts on the SQUISHIES let me reflect

It's gonna show chickie nuggies for me 100%

I get off on pwar log reviews if you ever need one

cinder nova

How heavily does Vers diminish when considering how % DR effects stack?

#

I assume a lot, since even 10% DR from Vers will just get eclipsed on any mechanic that matters and has you pushing SW and Def

sick sentinel
cinder nova
#

I feel like my math is wrong, but assuming you use SR, SW, and Def the actual DR is about 63% and goes up to 65% if you have Vers providing an additional 10%

#

I'm sure it's even less when you think about IP too

#

And Fervid

#

Sidenote, what is the rate of scaling for Vers? How much rating makes 1% DR.

6050 is the first breakpoint on diminishing returns? Or 6050 is 30% damage/15% DR?

First breakpoint for diminishing return

cinder nova

Is there a website that scales key mechanics forwards and backwards so you can see the damage profile of specific key levels on specific mechanics?

Used to be a thing

Doubt anyone is currently maintaining it

Back in bfa it existed

Yeah they want to let devs work on games they enjoy and I’m down for that

Last few years they have been pretty spot on with what they have done. I don’t even use it but game pass especially is pretty solid

sick sentinel

chest or shoulders harder to get from keys and keys vault

#

chest is more stats

modern gazelle
#

You will cata both so it’s the same

sick sentinel

this is for mark of mastery

modern gazelle

Just depends what dungeon you want to run

sick sentinel

i can chose either shoulder or chest

strong forum
#

What are you current shoulders/chest pieces

sick sentinel
#

but i dunno if one puts be on a long farm for the other

#

old set

strong forum

You get a hero piece from the mark

So it's the same catalysing a 17+ item

sick sentinel
#

right, i have 3/5 new equipped

#

and i have the mark

modern gazelle
#

Chest

sick sentinel
#

and im at the vendor

modern gazelle
#

Then cata shoulders

#

Get a better head

#

Head tier isn’t really good. 4Pc should be shoulders, chest, hands, legs

sick sentinel
#

i forgor to equiped chest

modern gazelle
#

Take the chest. Cata new shoulders, replace your helmet and get a myth track one eventually.

If you can I’d go for the shield from mythic gnarlroot

#

Do you have embellish on shield and waist?

sick sentinel

i do at the moment

i remember discussing here a while ago but how did you check on a log on what did you used your violent outburst procs?

@strong forum How much of our armor stays for M+ bosses?

That's the bitch

The most %

In m+ K-value is the lowest

You have more armor in m+ than in the open world

Well if open world is 100%, in m+ you have like 103%

In mythic raid you have like idk 80-85%

wow analyzer tracks it

sick sentinel

the jist of it is, if your a tank in a key, and you somehow die to an auto attack or phsyical dmg, you probably royaly screwed up

do you guys normally use the dmg talents or push talents for keys

push, even in lower keys, i hate the dmg build no shockwave is terrible

i'd use push with pugs

push

#

i barely run 18s on warrior, everything is above 20s

maybe someday i remember to put them for friend alt vault keys

Pug 20s are easier than 18s. You get a lot of shitlers in 18s.

lusty grotto
#

you get portal chasers in 20s

median tulip
#

Some yeah. Rarer though.

dusky canopy
#

Yeah pugging 20s after week 3/4 ish starts to become very annoying

You either keep up with the high end pug crowd or you pretty much get stuck at like 2900-3100

My static is non-functional for Christmas, sadly

warm plinth
cinder nova
#

It's fine, I found other ways.

#

I appreciate it, though.

#

I had to show someone the actual math behind why Vers was bad, and it was even more informative to see it for myself.

#

Even on enormous hits it's pretty dogshit.

#

All the diminishing returns on our DR and how slowly the mitigation actually scales just completely dumpsters it.

#

Predictably, however, they are staying Vers andys, I suspect.

pallid quiver
#

That's because people can barely count, let alone pit context to numbers, let alone basic arithmetic, algebra...

cinder nova
#

A gem from the conversation

The math doesn't matter

warm plinth
#

kek

pallid quiver
#

Maybe if this eas a fight game I'd accept that

cinder nova
#

I mean, you can do pretty wild content without having any grasp on the backend at all, as long as you have good play.

#

Which is - you know - fine.

#

I'm trying to push into GM with Doomfist as an OTP and I can confidently say I've never, ever taken a look at TTK breakpoints or any of that nonsense.

#

Doesn't make any of the math I don't have knowledge of any less true, though.

pallid quiver
#

But what I mean is that i fight games, there's math and all, ut

It requires situations to be presented, which won't always happen

sick sentinel
cinder nova
#

Oh, yeah, definitely. There are very few players that actually can apply all the wild variables and understand those windows on such a granular level AND apply them practically.

pallid quiver
#

You getting hit by something in wow will happen and is deterministic

cinder nova
#

Only one I can even name off-hand is MewTwoKing

pallid quiver
#

no you've gone way too far into setup territory

#

I mean like I press heavy punch, me now -2, shouldn't press

#

or cancel into special

#

oops the math is funny and context based now

cinder nova
#

Yeah. I see what you mean, it's definitely more reactive. You can definitely still have a good idea of what could be coming, but you never know what until it happens.

lusty grotto
#

S, you know you've hit a brick wall when they go "but top streamer uses it so its good"

cinder nova
#

Yeah, I feel like I wasted that effort.

lusty grotto
#

in the face of math

cinder nova
#

The worst part is duder is doing 26s on his Warrior - which, hey, great. Stacking Vers is probably not the reason he's able to do those keys, though.

#

Good play is.

#

So why be suboptimal?

lusty grotto
#

at that point vers probably gains a bit of value just to minimize some accidents

uneven mason
#

It smooths bursts in the moment

cinder nova
#

I was checking the math, it's still poo

uneven mason
#

It's poo

lusty grotto
#

it probably is

cinder nova
#

Like, less than 70K on a 4M hit poo

#

It's bad-bad.

#

Fervid just kinda makes it worse, honestly.

uneven mason
#

There are some moments where you can't rely on the rule of averages

cinder nova
#

Because it does so much heavy lifting.

uneven mason
#

Fervid is a good boy

#

You take that bad S

#

YOU TAKE IT BACK

cinder nova
#

I mean Fervid makes Vers worse

uneven mason
#

Oh

cinder nova
#

Because it does all the legwork Vers would otherwise try to do

uneven mason
#

I mean

cinder nova
#

So it just diminishes even harder

uneven mason
#

no

#

since it's a linear reduction in damage?

warm plinth
#

Wait why would fervid make vers weaker

cinder nova
#

%-based Mit all stacks with diminishing returns

uneven mason
cinder nova
#

Am I high

uneven mason
#

it's multiplicative reduction

warm plinth
#

All stacks of what

cinder nova
#

That's the diminishing returns.

uneven mason
#

That's not diminishing returns

cinder nova
#

That... is.

#

There are two kinds of diminishing returns- multiplicative DR

#

And rating

#

But we never hit rating

#

So nobody cares

#

Two 20% DRs aren't 40%

uneven mason
#

The best

dusky canopy

I just hit season 9

Dang that good hey??

sick sentinel
#

i just gotta get another helmet when i get the shoulders hero

cinder nova
#

But that's what I mean. Wall + Def + SR + 14% Fervid is like... 65-66% total DR.

#

Throwing in 11% Vers only bumps that to about 67.5%

#

Which is like...

#

Nothing.

#

For about 1/3rd your entire secondary budget

#

Fuck that noise.

#

When you factor armor and block on physical hits too?

#

Yikes.

brave jetty
#

It's pretty normal to skip the blood surger patrol just before Dresaron (3rd boss) in DHT, yeah?

uneven mason
brave jetty
#

just had 2 people in a fucking 23 blame that skip

uneven mason
#

That is one of the worst places to have an "oops" pull

brave jetty
#

because they went out of their way to pop eggs the second we crossed into boss room

uneven mason
#

because you're going to get knocked allover unless you duck into the cubby

Yes, it's a very normal skip, even in lower keys

brave jetty

I thought I was insane, every route I've ever seen skips them and people on every key level seem to be able to handle it
