just my experiences in pug world

modern gazelle
#

Disagree. Final boss on a high tyr key might be the worst boss imo

chilly brook
#

Final boss isn’t bad

#

But only if people actually stack and you move the boss

#

Everyone should be stacked on the boss so spiders spawn behind boss

#

Then you move

#

id like to see a pov of that cause every kill i have and even vods of top keyers is chaotic

uneven nymph
#

with the 4 piece, would taking a point off of ravager and putting it into bloodborne be better for damage in single target and over the course of an encounter

pallid quiver
#

Absolutely not

uneven nymph
#

or do we use ravager more for the rage generation and extra damage on cooldown

#

ok

pallid quiver
#

By a long shot

modern gazelle
#

ravager is good damage dont remove it ever

And my raiding

#

Stack on boss and move or don’t and hate yourself

I spent my 20 minutes free time today on playing fighting games

modern gazelle
#

idk i have groups stack and it still gets to be a cluster

lusty grotto
#

no not really

modern gazelle
#

stack on boss, corner to corner, then move for soul rend and the spiders still jsut swarm the entire area in tyr keys

lusty grotto
#

that means youre not doing it right

#

Like I said there’s a reason they’re third most popular horde race

#

blood elves orcs and vulpera

Vulpera just honestly don't fit in the wow universe

Vulpera just don't fit

Vulpera exist because hte horde needed a 2nd short race

Can say that about any race. Orcs were made up in Warcraft 1 lol

Pandas made up in wc3

toxic pewter
#

So what Vulpera only 5 years old

#

I’m saying you guys say vulpera shouldn’t exist. Warcraft Orcs didn’t exist before they were made up

#

Lmao

uneven mason
#

Orcs

#

let me check

toxic pewter
#

It’s all fantasy is my point

#

Saying one race should or shouldn’t exist is nonsensical

#

All are welcome

#

And correct

uneven mason
#

So you're saying Orcs were created for Warcraft 1?

#

Regarless that WC1 was based on Warhammer

toxic pewter
#

No I’m saying Warcraft version of orcs don’t exist before wc1

#

Lol

uneven mason
#

So that's the grounding thing

toxic pewter
#

So saying vulpera not having a right to exist because they were made up in bfa is nonsensical

#

It’s all made up

#

Lmao

#

Griff was arguing that

uneven mason
#

Yes but one is a furry fetish and the other is an established mythological creature from the 1600s

They’re not furry fetish though. They’re an honorable race of survivors that perservere in the desert

No.

and even if it wasnt a dick move, its still not meta

Idk if you are really supposed to be able to 2-2-6 this but we eventually brought in a 3rd healer

This was his healing.

And then on last boss whoever got Wrecking Pain, just died since the healer couldn't heal.

I am brand new to warrior tanking after our co tank just up and left the raid team, ran HC last night for the first time ever as prot and a bit of feed back i got from healers was my health tended to drop very low regularly and they had to hit their "oh S%&t" buttons on me, Anyone got any tips or tricks i can keep in the back of my mind to better help with my hp?

Not without logs.

Use SB.
Learn the boss mechanics.
Learn when to use cooldowns.

That's about it.

Just tanked my first key of the season (and of the expansion) as prot. Feels unkillable in a 20 but my damage was rubbish. Wasting a lot of rage on Ignore Pain. I reckon excess rage spent on IP should convert to a buff on your next SS/TC

Hey guys, I had a question about Instigate vs Bloodsurge. Is the dmg buff from Instigate actually really noticable? I just did BRH 20+++ and this was my dps, and devastor is 12th and doing very little. I'm trying to do more dmg basically I don't push keys I just try and do my 8 20s a week and I'm virtually unkillable atm. I've already dropped indomitable and spell block for 2 points in Bloodborne. Just wondering if any of you had any tips. Picture of my talents too. I'm switching from Lariat/Floroushing to Double Shadowflame once I get the crests. (Don't have logs for the key forgot again Sighted )

# tawny bane Hey guys, I had a question about Instigate vs Bloodsurge. Is the dmg buff from I...

The point of everything is the Rage generation, not the raw damage. Those 2 points in Bloodsurge are worth about 3.5% of your overall damage output. Instigate would give you about 0.3% overall, but you should be able to calculate how much rage by looking at the hits of Devastator. Would the increased Avatar, Violent Outburst etc be worth it? That's a question only you can answer. Personally I think you're brave dropping Indomitable; your healer is probably wondering why he has to do so much more work to keep you alive. Log a run and look at Extrenal Healing Required Per Second

It varies. Assuming you run Champion's Bulwark, Enduring Defences and Heavy Repercussions, it's fairly early (~5500 Rating or so, depends on luck with Shield Slam resets). However, in many cases you want to push above that and swap HR for Into The Fray (especially on Fortified M+ runs), which is less luck dependent.

If you get to 7100 Haste Rating you're hitting the point of the second stage diminishing returns, which ius where you should be looking at more of other secondaries.

fleet anvil
#

thank you because even if its only a few seconds im really starting to feel it when block starts being down

median tulip
#

Yeah, lack of Block is... not generally a thing we do, outside of exceptionally specific circumstances

#

What ilvl and Haste Rating are you at?

fleet anvil
#

ilvl is 425 and haste is 20% or 2920

#

SB cd is 13 secs atm

uneven mason
#

Make sure you're running the right talents for block uptime, 100% has been possible since DF launched even at low haste

fleet anvil
#

so should i run into the fray until high haste?

blazing condor
#

other way around

Don't stress overmuch about specific stat weights and arrays at your level - just get highest ilvl you can (and if possible get Tier pieces from LFR)

Maybe see if you can get people to help you with a World Tour of the Dragonflight M0 dungeons

Whats a good way to group mobs when pulling packs? I was doing The Everbloom yesterday and the casters before the first boss were a bitch, because I had enough aggro so they’d attack me but I was struggling to properly group them up so I had to keep charging and leaping between each target

lusty grotto
#

if your groups kicks are bad, you can either silence them with the silence talent or just bring the melee to them

#

that includes your kicks

#

tl;dr kick them

vocal flame
#

that is how I farm all of mine lol

fleet anvil
#

oh wow just got the 2pc and it makes a world of difference

sick sentinel
#

4pc feels way better

cosmic wyvern
#

god I didn't expect the climb from 2900 to 3k to be this bad

fleet anvil
#

im assume the 4pc reseting TC makes it smoother

cosmic wyvern
#

at 22/23 level, it's like qeueing as a dps. so many groups just decline me almost immediately

#

even if I have a 22 timed and the key's a 23

sick sentinel
#

thunder lord instead of show of force for normal keys now?

cosmic wyvern
#

like cmon man what do you want from me

sick sentinel
#

hmm

cosmic wyvern
#

even when I have a 22 timed on fort and I'm applying for a 22 on tyrannical it's like

#

"nah this guy hasn't timed a 23, decline his ass"

cinder nova

Keep queuing, or form your own groups.

What spec is that good for them on or both prot and holy for both keys and raid

cosmic wyvern
#

not sure. it's just the only thing I could think of

#

maybe there's a trinket paladins like?

#

I know prot wants Gholak tho

sick sentinel
#

complaint

#

when i start wow, it starts on this page for dungeon, and i would prefer it starts on "current season"

cosmic wyvern
#

I assume it defaults to dragonflight because the majority of players don't do m+

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sick sentinel
#

seems to be enough of them

cosmic wyvern
#

I think it's only like 20%

sick sentinel
#

20% of anything is still a massive number

cinder pasture
#

80% is even more massive

sick sentinel
#

1 in 5 players, is running keys that means

#

i'd say the average should be 30/30/30 raid/pvp/keys

#

but its not i imagine

cosmic wyvern
#

found a 22 fall group and lead was all friendly and stuff then booted me like "uhh yeah just saw you only have a 20 on tyrannical so fuck you"

#

I hate this game man

sick sentinel
#

well thats real life

cosmic wyvern
#

what's sad is I'm like the sixth highest io prot warrior on my realm

#

(it's moon guard so that's not an accomplishment at all)

sick sentinel
#

if you were wating on the bus, and the bus came by and the bus driver was clearly a crack head smoking crack on the bus driving it and theres reports that he's crashed the vehicle multiple times, your not going to get in the bus right

this is a huge extrapolation overblown.

i don't agree with it, but i understand it

lusty grotto
# fleet anvil im not 100% sure how embellishments work tbh

#268491842637660160 has what you need, you can only wear 2 embelishments on your character.

Some pieces have perma embelishments: the ones you listed, lariat, unstable frostfire belt, amongst others. You cannot remove these embelishments at all, and most of them are pretty crappy for us atm. Unstable frostfire belt used to be good but since it trails behind ilvl on ilvl capped pieces, we dont go for it anymore.

There are crafted pieces you can "put an embelishment" in. Plate armor that can be slotted with an embelishment is called Primal Molten. Cloth and cloaks are called Vibrant Wildercloth. There are a few customizable embelishments around but the best for us is Shadowflame Armor Patch.

#

This is how you add an embelishment in a crafting order:

#

I apologize for using a ring as an example and not a plate piece or cloak, im camping fucking lariat on my JC atm while i work

#

either way the same logic applies

#

once a piece is "embelished", it will say this:

#

that one should be self explanatory, also keep in mind that for crafted items that you added an embelishment in, you can also remove it on a recraft, you cannot do this with permanently embelished items (like the ones you listed)

#

hopefully that clears some embelishment questions up

#

if not lmk

fleet anvil
#

It does but why is only the shadowflame damage option the only option

lusty grotto
#

its the biggest damage gain for us

#

more damage = more agro

#

the defensive options arent worth it

#

but again we dont pay your sub, so you can honestly go what you feel is better

#

we just recommend the ones that we benefit the most of

azure smelt
waxen frigate
#

You shouldn’t be

#

You might be hitting the wrong buttons

#

If anything I’d expect you to lose threat within the first 1-3 gcds

azure smelt
#

i think it has something to do with me not being used to the regular sized claps or whatever

#

but threat feels like shit

#

rend/dw is not a replacement for immo aura/rushing jade wind

lusty grotto
#

i have no issues with agro

#

we can look at your logs to see what youre doing wrong

#

as i have no idea what your current ilvl is or weapon, i cannot say

grim pilot
#

yeah agro really shouldn't be an issue

#

I played with hdh that pulled 500k with aug in brh

#

and I didnt have aggro issues

lusty grotto
#

but if youre getting out-ilvl'd on weapons or out-ilvl'd in everything else, then it may be an issue

#

and of course skill usage

grim pilot
#

start of the pack might be annoying if people start dpsing but once you collect and start blasting buttons then only a taunt can steal the threat

lusty grotto
#

also i dont even have gholak

#

but i still dont have issues with threat

azure smelt
#

no im not undergeared or anything i just think sometimes i dont move enough to put enough dmg in mobs in the back

#

or when im gathering i lose sometimes too

grim pilot
#

I have had gholak since day 1 xeos

#

and then replaced it with hc gholak in like week 2

#

we had sooo many gholaks while doing weekly enchant farm

#

think our unh dk got x2, bdk x2, me & prot pala

#

and our ret

lusty grotto
#

eating in front of a starving kid

#

i see how it is

grim pilot
#

that's what's happening to me in arms channel...

#

no signet, no leggo

#

gotta compensate

lusty grotto
#

its fine to lose agro while youre gathering, thats not your fault

chilly brook
#

Shoulda been a signet augery gamer tbh

grim pilot
#

well, it can be your fault

lusty grotto
#

if dps are fucking idiotic enough to pop cds while youre running to pull, its on them

chilly brook
#

Just loot them 4head

lusty grotto
#

for example in EB's first pull

#

if dps pop cds and ham on the first 3 casters (which are usually skipped) and pull agro, thats not your fault

#

also is a dps loss for them

#

even if they dont die

grim pilot
#

I just want signet

lusty grotto

and they dont bait then either

lusty grotto

well thats on them, they dont time if thats the case

grim pilot

if not

#

I can still do good damage without

#

I think I'm running council trinket + sandglass now

lusty grotto
#

people need to learn how to do that fucking boss, eating spiders just feeds into bad habits

chilly brook
#

Augury is like 14-16k DPS

#

For like every class

waxen frigate
#

Augury is also mega rng reliant

#

It’s not consistent

chilly brook
grim pilot
#

Idk I want to get it just because so I try to roll when it drops but whatever I see in vault I just sim and take

queen hemlock
#

the fight for dps is just to stack behind/on tank to baid spiders to stack right?

grim pilot
#

remember

#

augury is not main stat

queen hemlock
#

well i dont see pubs bothering

chilly brook
#

Doesn’t need to be mainstat

waxen frigate
chilly brook

The only caveat with it is it needs to do enough damage to offset not having mainstat

#

And it does

grim pilot
#

never said it's bad

#

might be bis

#

idk

#

just saying, remember it's not main stat

lusty grotto

so what

#

beacon wasnt main stat

chilly brook
#

I’m well aware it’s not main stat

#

It still fucks

lusty grotto
#

and a lot of other trinkets before it

chilly brook
#

I don’t run main stat trinkets in m+ even as fury

lusty grotto

oh we're talking about fury

#

🤷

chilly brook
#

Literally run double crit trinkets with augury and might

waxen frigate
#

I hate that I’m gonna have to use it again

grim pilot
#

we're talking about augury in general

chilly brook
grim pilot
#

not just for prot

chilly brook
#

Mainstat is good

#

But trinkets aren’t equipped for their main stat budget

lusty grotto
#

right

grim pilot
#

ember would like to talk to you

chilly brook
#

Ember is an on use effect is it not?

#

That gives massive main stat

grim pilot
#

ember is a stat stick

#

main stat and versa

#

and some shit silence effect that's rng

chilly brook
#

Oh that thing

#

That no one uses

grim pilot
#

and it's one of the highest simming trinkets for arms

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

lol

vocal flame
waxen frigate
chilly brook
#

I see a lot of other passive trinkets ahead of it

waxen frigate
#

Idk what spec that is

chilly brook
#

Arms

grim pilot
#

close to sandglass

waxen frigate
#

I didn’t name a specific one though

chilly brook
#

He did

grim pilot
#

and look at the difference

#

between augury branch sandglass and ember

#

barely a difference

#

therefore for some people it might sim higher

#

since u know, it's based on bis eq

chilly brook
#

I doubt it will ever sim higher than rezan

lusty grotto
#

in ST? no

grim pilot
#

probably not

#

but

#

signet brand is pretty difficult to obtain

#

so your 2 highest simming trinkets might be rezan + ember

lusty grotto
#

and the point of this discussion is stat sticks

#

just to recap

chilly brook
#

I don’t think signet brand is very difficult to obtain

sick sentinel

im surprised might of the ocean so low

though

lusty grotto
#

you have a guild

#

not all of us are you

grim pilot
#

I mean I do but I've seen it drop once in 6 heroic runs

#

and it went to bdk

lusty grotto
#

its a non-argument

chilly brook
grim pilot
#

idk man you can see 10 people here rolling for it, there's also dh's and other specs that consider this trinket bis

lusty grotto
#

idk why hes on about how easy it is to get vs spammable rng dungeons

#

"just get a guild" "just do guild runs" "just hope it drops once a week" "just win the roll on the drop for the once a week kill"

grim pilot
#

definitely any dungeon trinket has advantage that you can spam the shit out of it

#

and get it either way

chilly brook

I know a guy that got rezan after 50 runs

seems like good recipe for pug destruction, even on 18 tyranical

ah

well, i should say, you pull it in fort but its hard for pugs

sick sentinel

this is the route i have

lusty grotto

sure that works for vault keys i guess

sick sentinel

this is what i actually end up pulling

strange lintel

best weapon enchant for some extra damage as prot? or should i just go sophic ?

Pulling bear w/ pull 2 is more dangerous than with pull 1

Because you have ruiners putting healing debuffs on people

But yeah both those routes are fairly typical for pugs

how do u ensure the 2 casters behind the bear don't pull with the bear 1st pull?

Pull the bear back. Pull him in a little later if they're patrolled there

yeah i can run a 18 dht no problem

chilly brook
#

shouldn't have to deal with the patrol

chilly brook
#

gets lust on CD and available for the 2nd boss

#

skip pull 3

#

add the 2 mobs next to pull 5 with it

#

alternatively you add 4 and 5 together and then do those two mobs with the bears

#

or you skip bears entirely

red otter
chilly brook
sick sentinel
#

yeah, i just have to learn the keys

if the mob reset thing still exists you can skip all the dryads and the lashers

sick sentinel
#

i dont learn games just by watching them 1 time i hae to play it for a couple hours to fully understand whats going on before i can do real runs on the key

#

takes while to ifnd out a strategy that works consistantly some bosses

chilly brook
#

assuming this still works

#

you can skip everything after 1st boss

#

that being said you'd still end up clearing the mobs next to 2nd boss and idk if it would even be worth it

my take is that it aint worth doing if the top keys dont do it

So if you pull a pack, a stinger won't come automatically with it
