But for 20year it makes sense

vocal flame
#

that a homer simpson line?

torn gulch
#

no it's just something i blurted out now

uneven mason
#

It's a skyhold line

blazing condor
#

is there any tech to the focused tempest on 1st boss TOTT?

#

or is it just aoe damg

toxic pewter
#

would you guys rather use a heroic rageheart or a heroic signet brand

#

i guess it depends on the dungeon?

blazing condor
#

signet is more damage if you keep it up

toxic pewter
#

or is signet just better

blazing condor
#

rageheart is also an absorb

toxic pewter
#

yeah hmm

#

i guess it really depends on how confient I am at keeping signet rolling

blazing condor
#

if i could choose my trinkets id probably run rageheart + augury

toxic pewter
#

ya that is what I have right now

uneven mason
#

Dreaming of the day I get a rageheart

#

They have me dpsing but I'm going to lootspec prot for fyrak tonight

torn gulch
#

i play with a lfr rageheart

#

because i did not even see a bigger one nevermind roll for it

#

and i do lfr normal heroic every week

uneven mason
#

I have them on basically all the alts

#

It's just my war that doesn't have a fyrak trinket

toxic pewter
#

just won a normal rageheart (hero track)

#

its pretty nice trinket

vocal flame
#

i love it, i have a LFR version too

toxic pewter
#

I love my signet but I cannot deny the rageheart just feels a bit more stable

vocal flame
#

I feel like good trinkets still do a lot of damage at lower ilevels

vocal flame
toxic pewter
#

yah it looks great and I have augury soo i have all these red bubble things going a lot lmao

vocal flame
#

haha thats great

toxic pewter
#

i still think blizz missed a cool oportunity to make a 2 set trinket bonus

#

like if u equip both, something cool happens

vocal flame
#

that would be great

toxic pewter
#

even if it was like some cosmetic effect or something lol to prevent it from being too op

vocal flame
#

wish the cosmetic race changing toys didnt have 12 hour cooldowns they are cool to use

toxic pewter
#

yeah recalibrator is a great toy

vocal flame
#

i feel like blizzard doesn't like you changing your toon

urban portal
#

they do

#

if you pay 50 dollars

vocal flame
#

haha true

uneven mason
#

35*

urban portal
#

toxic pewter
#

oops wrong face

How good is Prophetic Stonescales? I'm asking because I have a choice in my vault on my alt between a 489 scales and 2 tier pieces on the mythic track and was wondering if there is any desernable difference between a 483 and a 489 scale.

plush tendon
#

it is also not a trinket you should be using for a majority of content

fleet parcel
#

Yeah but I have none of the actually good trinkets hence why I'm considering it

blazing condor
#

i mean its only good if you plan on dying with it

plush tendon
#

Stonescales if it doesnt proc is essentially a stat stick

blazing condor
#

pretty much every other trinket at the same ilvl will be better

plush tendon
#

with just strength

#

you're better off pugging heroic or grabbing some other M+ trinkets like Rezans or a basic stat proc one

fleet parcel
#

im pugging hc every week

#

still no fyrakk trinkets

plush tendon
#

yea, keep doing that

fleet parcel
#

or pip

#

or legendary for that matter

plush tendon
#

literally all trinkets from raid are decent

#

Rageheart, Augury, Signet, Pips, Branch

blazing condor
#

my branch fucks

#

good damage

fleet parcel
#

Sidenote just got 489 branch on my rogue main

#

good week

blazing condor
#

niceu

plush tendon
#

poggies!

blazing condor
#

guessing the EB branch?

#

not gnarlroot branch

fleet parcel
#

yes

#

correct

blazing condor
#

big

fleet parcel
#

More like this

dusky canopy
#

What’s happening today boys

blazing condor
#

The on-use effect of rageheart is not tied to the absorb uptime right? even if the absorb is gone after 1 second you still do the damage to mobs?

dusky canopy
#

EU vaults right?

blazing condor
#

aye

uneven mason
plush tendon
uneven mason
#

Well yes

jagged pier
#

well scales is the best trinket in the game if u die every 8 mins

hazy bronze
#

Aren't good tanks supposed to die? warriorbrain

urban portal
#

yeah need to keep the trinket on cd

jagged pier
#

good tanks plan pulls around using it yes

urban portal
#

its rotational

brittle owl
#

what if i have a death allergy

hazy bronze
#

They have antihistamines for that

uneven mason
#

If only we could control bsv....

brittle owl
#

antihistawhat

blazing condor
#

is bsv still just broke?

#

1 year later

uneven mason
#

It's working as intended

#

It just sucks

#

Rather how it's intended to work sucks

#

If it was a on use ability though

#

Like the paladin "cheat"

hazy bronze
#

45sec cheat :pog:

toxic pewter
#

that the most imbalanced talent in the entire game

dusky canopy
#

Planning to proc cheat

#

Now that’s big brain

blazing condor
#

damn got fyrakk item from weekly cache

dusky canopy

Isn’t it all buyable?

jagged pier
#

hazy bronze
#

And crafters suck

waxen frigate
#

I’m at like 40/200 super bloom and 20/50 rare

toxic pewter

waxen frigate

blazing condor
#

toxic pewter

woven radish
#

Haha right

Prob just warrior #1,628,971,568 applying haha

blazing condor

nah warrior #4

but tank #100020203

#

another kill, another L

vocal flame
#

Vin Diesel?

frozen rose
#

Does Seeking Inferno, the smolderon mythic mechanic, show an icon debuff for users targeted? I know it’s not on tanks, but we had some players having trouble noticing they were targeted

jagged pier
#

i believe its a private aura

#

so no

#

u got to notice the line

frozen rose
#

It is a private aura. Ah, so private auras disable having a little debuff icon on ur screen?

uneven mason
#

Yup, they even adjusted the aura to fuck over the wa that guilds were using to track it

jagged pier
#

it might give a debuff

#

but i would expect mythic players to notice their own debuff bar change

frozen rose
#

lol me too. I was asking cause…I was just going to recommend foeks make a wa with a massive icon triggered by the debuff if they’re having issues. But that assumes it shows up as a debuff

#

Sounds like it doesn’t

toxic pewter
#

atal dazar final boss still a pug killer lol

uneven mason
#

Just bring 3 arms warriors and a mw

#

Wracking pain?

toxic pewter
#

people just like run into a spider and die i think

lusty tiger
#

Yeah

violet flume
#

yeah people die to spiders all the time

#

doing it as dps for the first time the other day i get why

#

people spread spiders everywhere and its hard to navigate and inactive oens are hard to see

lusty tiger
#

Once you mess up one set of spiders it makes it much harder to bait the following sets into good spots

violet flume
#

my tank also used the "cubicle strat"

chrome falcon
#

i'm sure i'm just missing it but does anyone know where on wowhead you find the stats on all of our catalyst pieces

#

might be something good to pin each season tbh

plush tendon
#

and im like, bro just follow the stack

uneven mason
chrome falcon
#

yep which shows me the offpieces

#

i want to know the stats on helmet

#

fortunately it was the only pick from vault anyway so i just grabbed it and flew to the catalyst

#

but i don't think we can see the stats on our actual tier pieces on wowhead?

#

oh wait it's probably in the item sets tab

#

yeah it is

chrome falcon
#

yeah thanks!!!!

plush tendon
chrome falcon
#

if you look at my actual question i was just wondering if there was a page that had all the pieces on it

#

so i don't have to look them all up individually

plush tendon
#

and you can hover over the tier items

uneven mason
#

Was literally linked in the page I showed you

#

Frigging zoomers, I feel dirty for enabling

chrome falcon
#

yeah back in your day you would search each piece individually on thotbot and it sucked, i was just wondering if there was a convenient page that showed the entire catalyst set with all the options on the same page which would have been convenient

uneven mason
#

Back in my day we couldn't even see stats on loot unless we were looting the boss!

warm plinth
chrome falcon
#

oh perfect

#

thank you

teal swift
uneven mason
teal swift
#

Wrong game

#

This is a wow discord

fiery gust
#

at what % haste should i swap haste gems out for crit?

uneven mason
#

Literally couldn't even link items for the first year

teal swift
#

🍣

teal swift
fiery gust
#

oh you still sim as prot ?

teal swift
#

Every tank, yep

fiery gust
#

ah

#

alright niuce one XD

teal swift
#

Yep, makes it super easy

fiery gust
#

also need a new craft

uneven mason
fiery gust
#

got 2 embellishments do u just craft lowest ilvl up?

uneven mason
#

Yeah

fiery gust
#

thats my lowest

teal swift
#

Nice

#

Rings are good crafts

#

Come with socket

fiery gust
#

i do have 1 crafted ring already

uneven mason
#

Ring is a good spot to craft on, since it's minimal stat loss over a maximum myth item

fiery gust
#

this chars only been up for 2 weeks

#

will link the rio now

#

ignore the neck

#

got that in vault

mental scarab
#

Crit for more dmg detective

#

Vers is for pussies

fiery gust
#

xD

thin glade
#

Vers for more dmg

#

Parry is for pussies

orchid mural
#

ponders what most top warriors verse is

uneven mason
#

Whatever comes on their gear

plush tendon
#

what sims higher

#

vers and crit both can be great

dusky canopy
#

Healer kept trying to bait us behind boss which is correct however they kept going into a massive stack of spiders like bro????

uneven mason
dusky canopy
#

Nim was doing the tettles vid. starting in the cubby, rotating clockwise, etc.
We killed it but man soul dropping was something else lmao

uneven mason
dusky canopy
#

Vers gives more defense against magic

uneven mason
#

Had a ret bubble and charger through spiders across the center

plush tendon
#

vers can still give more damage

#

crit doesnt scale with all proc damages

uneven mason
plush tendon
#

just gotta trust the robot

dusky canopy
#

Yes technically Vers can sim higher but you have to have a lot of Crit before it will

uneven mason
#

Ngl I'd probably gain a fuckton of damage from vers rn

#

3% vers

dusky canopy
#

If you have like 5% vers

#

Yeah exactly

#

lol

#

30% vers gang

uneven mason
#

Literally only have that because it's on 2 tier pieces

dusky canopy
#

Fury chad

thin glade
#

Still die in 14 seconds in TOTT to bleeds

#

sadge

dusky canopy
#

Vers will not fix that btw

mental scarab
plush tendon
#

Crit ends up being really good for most people who dont prio it, but I feel like what happens is that players treat stats like dps and are like 'what are my two best and let me stack those' instead of being super fluid and acknowledging the merits of each stat

dusky canopy
#

You have to utilize your living buttons better

#

That’s the blunt truth

thin glade
#

All living buttons used, ded

dusky canopy
#

Then you need to space them out better

#

And as a last resort you can dstance / and or kite

uneven mason
thin glade
#

My last resort is going back to fury

teal swift
thin glade
#

And leaving prot to the prots

teal swift
#

We can't really diagnose your "recalled" experience

thin glade
#

I'm not asking for help tbf

dusky canopy
#

You don’t need to be asking

#

We’re conversing about your topic

thin glade
#

Just adding a bit of verbal diarrhea

#

I know exactly why I got smashed last time I tanked the TOTT dragon pack

uneven mason
#

Just dwarf

thin glade
#

Actually good point

dusky canopy
#

Dwarf kinda owns

#

Hoping new dwarf owns

#

It’s faction neutral right? Like panda?

uneven mason
#

Horde dwarf

#

The faction imbalance can finally be addressed

plush tendon
#

Faction imbalance is fixed!!!! just in time for factions to not matter

teal swift

@plush tendon your pfp makes me happy

I feel like there's a friend

EXPELL ALL YOUR RAGE TO BOOST YOUR COMRADES WARRIOR SPIRIT

Release an equivalent to drum for self dispell would be awesome too

#

Ngl that sounds smart

#

16 sec dispel

#

Issue would be how you balance that

#

Since everyone having a dispel would be too op

#

Also what can you dispel exactly too

ashen coral
grim pilot
#

Idk dwarf being this good

grim pilot
#

Even at cutoff level shit like racials is irrelevant

#

Helps, but irrelevant

tawdry dirge
#

ihey how good is pips from a defensive pov

ashen coral
#

I see like top 10 prot war almost all dwarf

Also tott and brh gives a good advantage to dwarf

jagged pier
#

meh

tawdry dirge
#

ursine is my other option

#

is that any better?

jagged pier
#

thats better

tawdry dirge
#

fair play cheers

waxen frigate
#

Ursine def better than pips

#

Assuming equal iLvl

grim pilot
jagged pier
#

dwarf just the best tank race

#

theres no if and or buts

#

so if your pushing WF keys of course u go dwarf

grim pilot
#

Wf ye

jagged pier
#

if u cap at lik 25s or what not

grim pilot
#

But u dont need if all u want is title

jagged pier
#

your race dont matter

grim pilot

Which is gonna be liken

i need to learn to play dps now

jagged pier
#

or u do this

torn gulch
#

i can't do this

#

my guild dps are rioting

#

at the moment

jagged pier
#

that y u do it

torn gulch
#

had lego and blazing drop in the same kill

#

they lost their mind

waxen frigate
#

My guild already in shambles because we have gotten 2 leggos and they’re both on non-raid characters

#

(First was a friends/family casual on his main, second was my warrior alt)

jagged pier
#

i got mine before christmas no dps so far have it

#

and i still havent done the quests

#

i mainly cba because i was like well now i have leggo i go dps and was told no

#

so whats the point

#

it wont get used

#

🤷

waxen frigate
#

My cotank is taking it well (he’s not)

pallid quiver
jagged pier
#

money not the issue i have a lot of that yep

#

i just

#

cba

#

also having to find ppl with profs

#

and they gunna upcharge me

#

no thnks

pallid quiver
#

yeah, but it's like a token's worth of money still, right?

waxen frigate
#

I bought token for it

#

Thankfully guild treasurer can craft it all

pallid quiver
#

I'd rather have the token than leggo tbh

plush tendon

#

if he needs some copium, just have him put this string in

#

/dump C_CurrencyInfo.GetCurrencyInfo(2784)

#

will tell him how many lessers hes gotten

strong forum
#

4 lesser and 2 greater

plush tendon
#

yea... .but you see, the ones without the lego stll require the cope

oblique garnet
#

Dont need lego if you only play prot

torn gulch
#

yea i am debating if i want to craft it and i am leaning on the side of no

#

my guild is not taking it well

#

i mean some of the dps

strong forum
#

For tmog is important

#

It'll suck getting it crafted in 11.0+

torn gulch
#

that is true i'll prob craft it and then see if ia ma gonna play dps

teal swift
#

Level 1 should be enough to craft the shit, can probably use alts or a friends altss

strong forum
#

You need profs at 100

#

For the craft

teal swift
#

I was told the exact opposite

strong forum
#

If it was 1,then you'd just learn and craft it for every single one yourself

#

Lol

#

No point to having the requirement then

#

Of needing the craft

#

Could just remove the quest step

waxen frigate
#

Because if they’re actually bitching about it fuck em

#

They need to grow up

torn gulch
waxen frigate
#

Lmao

#

Bitching at literal rng

torn gulch
#

not that big of a deal they're mostly joking

#

i did not realise it dropped until a guildie told me

teal swift
#

Yeah I dug Into it more
Apparently it is max profs oh well LOL
@strong forum

torn gulch
#

i was completely unaware

teal swift
#

I have most maxed profs anyways

#

XD

#

I was wrong ty for correcting me nomer

uneven mason
#

Cloak in my heroic box sadge pretty sure my DK is going to get the Lego out of his

#

Because that's how it been the last few weeks

#

Cant believe I subjected myself to 4x rlp with DPS doing sub 40k for a cloak

elder crag
#

Is there a point in keys we just tank the whole time in def stance?

uneven mason
#

No

#

But situationally sure

elder crag
#

Ok thank you

uneven mason
#

You could ask Plka

#

But he's probably getting ready for his next interview

#

Actually I'm not 100% sure

#

@patent osprey is there a point where you just ride defensive all the time?

patent osprey
#

Like the whole key?

#

Not realy

#

But like for majority of a pull yeah. Alot of throne pulls are like that with the bleed dragons

uneven mason
#

Like, you're hitting 29+ so figured if anyone knew

waxen frigate
#

You certainly can

#

But it’s not optimal

patent osprey
#

All the keys this season are stance dancing

uneven mason
#

K that's what I thought, but wanted to be sure

#

More than last season?

#

I guess it helps they buffed defensive a bit too

#

Less punishing to use it on the damage end

patent osprey
#

We are very tanky this season compared to last

plush stump
#

it does feel nice to have the stance dance back in the tool kit, adding a bit more to what we are juggling

elder crag
#

Thank you all for your responses. I was doing a 20 tyrannical everbloom and getting pushed in by the second boss after the charge and me charging back to the casters. It was suggested I just stay in defensive stance the whole key because I was getting chunked

silent vessel
#

a bit of nasty pulls in that dungeon, for sure

#

keep avatar for flower stacks unless u have a pala

#

or monk

#

you dont need to necessarily stay in def stance all dungeon, especially not in tyrannical weeks imho

waxen frigate
#

The 5% Dps loss will not make or break anything for you

#

It’s a crutch you should look to get rid of but you’re not gonna brick any 20s by sitting n dstance

warm plinth
#

Sir it's 8% smh

elder crag
#

I guess if the 5% breaks the key maybe an issue with the DPS?

waxen frigate
#

I don’t actually remember

thorn zephyr
#

Hey all whats the best play for the Protectors in Everbloom on tyran this week? Range just stay on Talu and tank (myself) and melee swap to other to interrupt revital?

dusky canopy
#

I usually just keep the charge boss on the poison boss until it dies, run out for the charge of course

#

If you have Aug they can solo kick healer

#

Or range kick the healer

#

You as tank should be able to solo the toxic cast or any melee

#

WM tyrannical : After using heroism on witches, is it better to use it on Tree boss (it's usually ready again), or save it for Pig boss ?

uneven mason
#

How's it taking 10m to get from witches to tree?

echo egret
#

Because I don't pull like a maniac in pugs.

blazing condor
#

It takes 10 mins cus ppl clear inside

#

And pull out

echo egret
#

Like never more than 2 witches together in the courtyard

past torrent
#

I clear trash to pig then by that time use it on tree

uneven mason
#

Yeah I guess

past torrent
#

Then kill pig without

blazing condor
#

Thing is most teams want bl for 2nd boss

#

So they clear everything til bl is back

uneven mason
#

Tree probably less threatening after nerf

blazing condor
#

Do tree

#

Then pig

past torrent
#

But after thorns nerf, might switch

uneven mason
#

Big lust for basement pull

jagged pier
#

i just dont know why they nerfed thorns wasnt even an issue

uneven mason
#

Idk

jagged pier
#

yer but your not supposed to

uneven mason
#

Legit only time I've died dpsing that fight was when the brm cleared stacks and thorns hit at the end

#

Unfathomable

#

Clearing stacks on freeboss

echo egret
#

Don't the thorns hit harder and harder with stacks ?

uneven mason
#

No

#

They're their own entity

echo egret
#

Aaah

uneven mason
#

Stacks only affects bosses damage

jagged pier
#

ppl like to complain they do scale with boss damage

#

but its just eh affix

#

so it should be healable pretty much all the time

echo egret
#

... and that seem to be the only source of damage against the group ?

turbid shuttle
#

when you clear with fire it does aoe damage while he's running around

jagged pier
#

well if u break them

#

the aoe fire damage scales with boss damage

turbid shuttle
#

also little fire dudes spawn at that point and walk around, potentially hitting people

teal swift
#

Only WCM boss that I hate

#

Is witches

#

Fuck that boss lmao

#

I'm so fucking powerless

turbid shuttle
#

kick off mobs during group damage, and rally during the purple debuff mob

#

about all you can do

Ppl kill those blobs insta

So it just spawns wherever

#

AFAIK the damage from the floor crap doesn't scale, though

lusty grotto
#

hes not talking about the dmg

#

its negligible

#

the slow is kind of annoying though

median tulip
#

Yeah, it's a bit annoying but it ain't in any way dangerous

lusty grotto
#

yeah its nbd

#

except on specific affixes maybe like storming

median tulip
#

Storming is a bit of a pain on him, but that's mostly because you can't move him or leave melee

lusty grotto
#

quaking used to be ass on it

#

moreso cause bfa metas were melee loaded usually

warm plinth
# waxen frigate Is it

5% damage loss from running Dstance but you also lose the 3% crit from Battle Stance which is ~3% damage

median tulip
lusty grotto
#

ill take your word for it, but theres a lot of other examples

#

still dont regret quitting after S1

median tulip
#

Season 1 of SL was the best raid, but the worst M+

lusty grotto
#

garbage ass expansion

#

CN was the only good thing out of it for sure

warm plinth
#

and the condemn animation

lusty grotto
#

either way quaking has been a pain in the ass in any boss where stacking is required

#

had*

#

like workchop doggo

#

or extremely tiny hitboxes

#

but honestly id rather deal with quaking than afflicted

#

obviously casters dont feel the same way, that was aids for them

yeah we already tested smth fun

#

you can funnel the stacks onto ST

#

i hit a 2.5mil combo on 1 target with it today

#

with only 18 stacks

#

basically apply stacks to infinite targets

#

then get the kill target isolated

#

and send leggo

teal swift

#

i hit a 1.5mil combo onto dresaron with whelpling mark pad

toxic pewter
#

how often do the stacks get applied to mobs anyway

#

is it pretty often

urban portal
#

its pretty often yeah

#

but honestly im fairly sure its an overall dps loss to cast axe if you actually get 50 stacks

#

because you lose out on so much DOT

strong forum
#

every melee attack

#

that you do

#

thunderclap/whirlwind for arms to apply all marks in aoe

#

they literally instantly apply

strong forum
#

you buff the on use by 500% + an additional 75% buff from hitting 5 targets

#

when you have 50 marks

urban portal
#

i didnt know theres a 2nd BFA split going on

strong forum
#

yeah on use is bfa split

urban portal
#

i thought the 10% per target was it, didnt know it had the bfa split attribute at the end

#

i thought it was a regular split

strong forum
#

regular split IS bfa split

#

everything that is "split"

#

is BFA split

#

augury is bfa split

#

leggo is bfa split, branch is bfa split

#

uhm what other trinkets are there

#

but you get the point

#

whetstone was bfa split

warm plinth
#

Like the only thing that isn't bfa split is light's judgment (LFD racial) which I believe is still uncapped entirely

strong forum
#

and boon from vault

warm plinth
#

oh right

strong forum
#

entirely uncapped

warm plinth
#

Because it's technically individual hits to each target

strong forum
#

its just uncapped

warm plinth
#

You're uncapped

strong forum
#

it just is

#

i wish

#

nah i like arms' 2 target niche

#

its very enjoyable to have a situation where youre the best dps

#

i thought some abilities just true split

like meteor

im just

#

in front of amirdrassil looking at heroic pug groups

#

and i just dont know if i have it in me lol

#

to reclear again on a 3rd char

#

its a considerable time commitment for a group to find healers, and then refill, and its always a group with more than 20 people in it

#

idk

warm bison
#

When you guys are avataring in m+ are you guys shield slamming in between every clap or revenge spamming? I find I have infinite rage and didn't know if it's better to just keep shield slamming and spamming pointless ignore pains

#

Esp when dragon roar is up and i can tab shield slam?

toxic pewter
#

O_O

lusty grotto
#

yes you keep shield slamming

#

and IPs arent pointless they trigger your tier31

#

using rage is a huge part of our toolkit

#

it goes into AM and Violent Outburst

#

faster wall/avatar refreshes, big damage

toxic pewter
#

are people actually tab swapping and SSing

lusty grotto
#

no

toxic pewter
#

I guess if they are gonna die within 8 seconds or whatever it could be worth it I guess?

#

even then dunno

warm plinth
#

Why would you tab target SS

toxic pewter
#

they want to ss the TR

#

apparently

warm plinth
#

but it...does the same damage

toxic pewter
#

yeah i dont get it only way I can see it worth it if the mobs will die before all the ticks go off

lusty grotto
#

i mean i didnt pay attention to the last part, but its nothing they should be focusing on

warm plinth
#

in which case you probably shouldn't have used TR to begin with

toxic pewter
#

thats true

vocal flame
#

Helped a guildie do the weekly and he got the signat band in the cache 😭

lusty grotto
#

it be like that sometimes

jagged gust
#

So I just had a tank keep the double dragons on Galakrond split the entire fight, new tech? /s

lusty grotto
#

not really

#

more like inting

jagged gust
#

Yeah I knew something was happening that run when it took 4 pulls to get to first boss

toxic pewter
#

one dragon cant be moved during that encounter right

#

and one can i think

#

but yeah not keeping them together, thats wild

jagged gust
#

Yeah so he would leap to the further one that moves and keep it locked there, while I solo tanked the other one lmao

#

20 btw

toxic pewter
#

jeeze

jagged gust
#

I hate how misaligned fury and prot stats are, pugs sure do make me miss tanking

#

I do have a question about the 2nd EB boss

#

Is it traditional to keep the party focused on the right mage and not swap between furies?

lusty grotto
#

correct

#

you still need someone to kick the heal when the other guy becomes active, but yea that's the play

warm plinth
toxic pewter
#

ok good to know

opaque quest
#

Haste crit is basically the same. You want 45% mastery as fury

#

Which is achieved by 1-2 pieces

lusty grotto
#

fury is mastery versa now for the most part

jagged gust
#

yeah and haste is like, awful

#

after 25%

opaque quest
#

Its for pugging. Who cares

#

Just grab vers mastery neck and rings and youre good

warm bison
warm plinth
#

Shield slamming thunderous roar doesn't increase its damage

#

It just makes its damage happen instantly

lusty grotto
#

yup

warm plinth
#

So shield slamming other targets isn't going to do anything.

warm bison
#

Ah thanks I was doing all that work for nothing

warm plinth
#

You're not the first person to make the same mistake though so

warm bison
#

So we really aren't revenging much at all in high keys then I guess just shield slam spam and ignore pain

lusty grotto
#

we arent really revenging much period

#

not in high keys, not in low keys

warm plinth
#

Yeah you do it when you have time which is not much haha

lusty grotto
#

nothing has changed we're still SS > TC > Rev

#

since forever

warm plinth
#

Remember the good ole days of Legion where you'd pop Recklessness and just go SLAMSLAMSLAMSLAMSLAMSLAM

#

Fun times

#

Or well, it was battle shout I guess right

warm bison
#

Haha thanks bois , haven't protted since shadowlands, just recently came back

warm plinth
#

w/e the fuck it was called then

chilly brook
#

yeah yeah I know statweights are dead but it does give an idea

#

I'm also sitting at 33% unbuffed in fury

warm plinth
#

Yeah those are what I'd call pretty fuckin even stat weights

#

with a slight skew away from haste

jagged gust
# chilly brook

Yeah it doesn't look too far off, but those differences sure do feel like thry stack up when comparing gear

lusty grotto
#

you do you, we dont recommend it but you do you

median tulip
#

Revenge is ok. Keeps the Deep Wounds rolling, can reset Shield Slam. Got plenty of other buttons to press though.

chilly brook
#

and be more tanky

#

and it costs you nothing

lusty grotto
#

its just a 1guy

vocal flame
#

I revenge cause I get scared I won’t keep aggro on a pack that might get butt pulled lol. I try not to press it unless it’s free tho.

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter if its free or not

#

its still dead last in prio

vocal flame
#

Wow even if it’s free? Interesting ok.

lusty grotto
#

yes

vocal flame
#

Think I just gotta remove it from my keybinds lol

lusty grotto
#

not really

#

its fine to use it

#

just not better than the other 2

#

and you still need to use it if both SS and TC are on cd

vocal flame
#

True I feel like I use it too much but I’ll just keep an eye on it and do better.

#

Was doing a 20 DHT and a dps left cause we wiped one time on tree and were like 13 mins ahead 😦

crystal mauve
#

Revenge is still around 5-6k dps for me in keys so it would still consider it a relevant button to press

lusty grotto
#

anything is damage

#

in comparison to others

#

its not

#

especially when the others generate rage

#

nobody is saying dont use it period

#

its just in the bottom of the barrel

crystal mauve
#

On average clap does indeed more damage than my revenge *

modern gazelle
#

revenge does help with violent outburst though

lusty grotto
#

it does

#

in that you dont use it on TC

#

or at least in that very specific scenario

raw parcel
#

Woop! Got all the portals! Just got last one.

lusty grotto
#

congrats

raw parcel
#

Thanks. Heart is racing. Almost wiped on the last boss of Rise.

#

First season getting even one of these. This is fun. 😄

modern gazelle
lusty grotto
#

nah

#

if revenge was off-gcd, that would be a good point

#

but its not

#

therefore that specific point is not really worth thinking on

pale oracle

Anyone have any advice on surviving the tree boss in dht?

soft dragon

out range with leap

the breath

#

dont forget to take the talent to havea reduce couldown

then cd def on each grab

pale oracle
#

Wow I totally forgot you can leap away from it

#

Can't you do the same with last boss in rise?

soft dragon
#

y u can

ionic fern
#

Jep, Leap out of Breath.
Rotate defensives + defensive stance + IV.

#

Ideally you would also go into the grab with full IP and full bar of Rage to spend on IP.

pale oracle
#

That makes sense, I'm a bit undergeared since this is my alt but I figured there must be something I can do to mitigate some DMG, the grab right after the breath nuked me. Thanks lads

its the only myth track item

simming more than rezans at least for arms

#

anyone having a lot of issues w/Raal in WM this week?

#

he's broken like all my groups

#

tree was always fine, Raal just fucked us

blazing condor
#

So what killed you?

ionic fern
#

He does nothing.

#

If your group is bad, they are bad. 🤷

brave jetty
#

Group just falls behind on adds

ionic fern
#

That sounds like a big DPS issue tho.

brave jetty
#

Runs around like they're on fire with a single slime on them

#

so I'm burning all my globals heroic throwing some slime that's 20 feet away

#

(after having taunted the other that spawns at range and isn't brought in)

ionic fern
#

The slimes don't even melee hard.

#

👀

#

Don't worry about them too much.

blazing condor
#

Like mwahi said you can only really wipe to bad players on him.

Either you got a bad tank who doesnt stand in melee with the boss. Or you got bad dps who stand in both frontals or cant kill ads

jagged pier
#

The worst is when range stand at the back of the room with the adds and complain about having aggro

#

Cool bro bring them to melee please

blazing condor
#

What most ppl dont know about the fight is that the expulsion that spawns ads actually is a frontal you should dodge

#

Ppl always die or get 90% damaged for no reason

echo egret
blazing condor
#

I cant say im absolutely sure. But i’m pretty sure my pugs take damage as soon as the cast is over/before the ads actually spawn

lyric cape
#

Yea when the adds spawn it first is a frontal cone

#

If your infront of it you take damage regardless if you stand in the add spawn circles or not

echo egret
#

Okay, so we can blame Blizzard for another obscure mechanism written nowhere.

ionic fern
#

You can dodge it tho.

#

Okay, going over logs..maybe? 👀
I never really pay attention to it.

#

😂

lyric cape
#

It shows on logs. but if you don't actually know it has initial frontal damage you could refer it to standing in a green add explosion

ionic fern
#

There's 2 damage events in logs, same name, different ID.

lyric cape
#

owh really

ionic fern
#

So i'd imagine one of them is the tick and the other one the "impact".

blazing condor
#

I agree that its a very unintuitive frontal

#

Especially when you also got another frontal ability on the same fight

#

Thats much better telegraphed

echo egret
#

Yeah I browsed logs but hard to have a solid rock evidence.

grim pilot
#

I’m 99.99% sure u can dodge it for 2 reasons

#

1 being I think my wm is fairly low and I remember taking fuckton of damage from that

#

And 2nd being i could swear people r not taking dam at all when the cast goes off

#

When I saw high tyra wm

blazing condor
#

Ye u can definitely dodge it

#

Just try and stand in front on ur next key and see for urself

ionic fern
#

This was on a 27, damage taken from that ability.

#

So either..it's the swirlies and we sucked and got hit by them.
Or it's the "frontal", that can be dodged and we got hit by it.

#

Since only 3 players got hit out of 5.

#

I honestly don't know if there is a "frontal" part to it.

strong forum
#

Well you can dodge the adds landing

#

And you should better do so

ionic fern
#

Jeah, the question is, does that ability also have a "frontal" damage part to it.

#

Since sometimes it seems like you don't get hit by the swirlies, but still take damage when the ability goes off.

strong forum
#

No it's just the landing spot of the adds that does dmg

grim pilot
#

I think that only the targeted person can get hit by it

#

Unless someone moves straight onto him

strong forum
#

I never take dmg when he aims at me

#

Cuz I step away

ionic fern
#

Think we got a WM ..i'll try and actually pay attention to it this time.

strong forum
#

Or rather, I've never taken dmg from that add spawn

#

Only from standing in poop

pallid quiver
#

We'll ignore how my pugs and people I know say the damage from that ability is just straight out unavoidable because that helps 0% in this convo

ionic fern
#

But i'd also expect the same outcome as Nome said.

strong forum
#

That is from being thrown at

#

First one I ate apparently

#

This is from standing in poop

echo egret
#

We can't even test it without a key, since it's too low level and we take no spell damage at all.

strong forum
#

I mean it's pretty clear in my first screenshot

#

Only once throughout the entire fight

#

People ate dmg from the throw

#

There are no other dmg events on that boss that you "don't know" where they're from

#

Bile explosion is adds dying

#

Rage is potion, tenderize is the triple frontal, rageheart is rageheart, shadowflame is shadowflame

#

The green expulsion is the poop on floor

#

The purple expulsion is the throw

toxic pewter
#

I hope in TWW they fix the thunderclap radius issues

#

all this thunderclap focus coming they really need to

lusty grotto
#

well i wouldnt say its top prio

#

its like 1 yard

#

i would say having a SL cap is a bigger issue

#

but thats not gonna change anytime soon unless they just uncap aoes in general

#

good morning also

toxic pewter
#

i swear its like 3 yards (the radius is 5 yards when its supposed to be 8 yards)

lusty grotto
#

i tested it with jordan remember

toxic pewter
#

yeah wasnt it like 5 or 6 yards

lusty grotto
#

kind of

toxic pewter
#

yeah i need my full 8 yards

#

especially when BDK gets 10 yards with their bloodboil

#

and remove the cap or increase the cap

#

also doesnt rend not get applied in a smart way I swear I read that

sturdy cloud
#

Ok good it’s not just me thinking that TC felt a bit small

lusty grotto
#

disenchanting tool is 8 yards

toxic pewter
#

What was the verdict anyway

lusty grotto
#

its -1 yard

#

so its hitting at 7 yards radius

#

and not 8

toxic pewter
#

Oh

#

Damn I guess not the worst but still should be fixed but yeah not as high priority agreed

lusty grotto
#

but terrain elevations also factor in slightly, that area is mostly flat but idk

toxic pewter
#

Pretty wild bloodboil is uncapped and larger radius and has two charges

#

I get we clap more and gives us rage

#

But still kinda weird

lusty grotto
#

well uncapped tc would be a bfa repeat at the moment lol

#

people would bitch and moan about the huge aoe damage once again

toxic pewter
#

Would upping it to 8 targets be ok

#

Like a middle ground compromise

lusty grotto
#

yeah a tad more would be a good change

toxic pewter
#

Agreed

blazing condor
#

man i dont even have anything to craft rn

#

i can gain like 0.3% dps if i craft a belt thats about it

toxic pewter
#

yep i crafted belt lol

#

i mean 3 ilvl is what it is for me

lusty grotto
#

brez bracer + shadowflame belt and/or unstable frostfire belt

#

in case you need to run bracer

#

but otherwise yea were at the stage where we start to accumulate sparks until fated season

blazing condor
#

i didnt play fated in SL but its just "all raids but higher ilvl items" right

#

and "maybe" some affix type raid

lusty grotto
#

and dinars

#

but theres an ilvl bump so theres gonna be a new spark most likely

blazing condor
#

would imagine so

lusty grotto
#

raid affixes, not just 1, it depends what your group wants to do

blazing condor
#

wonder what the bis is gonna look like

lusty grotto
#

cause they were all kiss curses, so you get buffed

blazing condor
#

too bad i didnt play VOTI

#

time to learn seramore

#

just did eggnog

toxic pewter
#

voti tier set the best looking warr tier set in df

blazing condor
#

yeah its cool

toxic pewter
#

what item u guys gonna use dinar on first

#

prob fyrakk trinket perhaps... or BACON?

#

prob some trinket i bet

lusty grotto
#

depends on sims

blazing condor
#

might as well get the super rares out of the way

#

that everyone will roll on

toxic pewter
#

ngl i dont really want to use beacon again lol

#

i just dont enjoy the cast

lusty grotto
#

pretty sure eranog ring will make a comeback

toxic pewter
#

oh snap forgot about the ring

lusty grotto
#

with all the shadowflame shit we have now

#

might not even have to run uffb

toxic pewter
#

signet + anvil?

#

XD

lusty grotto
#

that might be an interesting one

toxic pewter
#

could end up being bis i bet

lusty grotto
#

i wonder how gholak racks up against forgestorm and strike twice

#

probably beats them outright cause stats

toxic pewter
#

what trinkets did we like in season 1

#

i forget

blazing condor
#

hell nah i aint tryna keep both anvil and brand up at the same time

lusty grotto
#

whetstone

#

but that wont show up

#

cause its from CoS

#

oh ya

#

yeah totem

blazing condor
#

blazing hoof from rlp

lusty grotto
#

all totem vs OCE again

toxic pewter
#

osnap all totem is great

#

but i think it will def be anvil and signet if u want to be a timerunner. if not, will prob see beacon again it just does too much damage

rich wyvern
toxic pewter
#

omg, double on use, beacon and grieftorch incoming

#

that may be wat people do unironically

lusty grotto
#

that wont apply to fated season kit

rich wyvern
toxic pewter
#

all unknown so far afaik

rich wyvern
#

Mm

toxic pewter
#

i just have fun speculating

rich wyvern
#

Don’t we all

lusty grotto
#

the idea is beacon was nerfed to people used new trinkets

#

thats not gonna happen for a fated

rich wyvern
#

Tbf it only needed nerfing bc it was far-and-away better than competitors right

lusty grotto
#

than new trinkets

rich wyvern
#

Which seems like a valid reason to keep it nerfed for fated, for the sake of build diversity

lusty grotto
#

nah

rich wyvern
#

I play healer on my main and I just don’t want to think about another season of rashok oppression 🫠

toxic pewter
#

oh roshak trinekt def will be used i bet

blazing condor
#

have they confirmed s4 dungeons?

#

more than "we will revist DF"

toxic pewter
#

that all we know so far

#

but gonna be 10 dungeons imo

#

all df dungeons

blazing condor
#

🤢

toxic pewter
#

they just have too much going into the new expansions

blazing condor
#

they need to do more with the live game before they pump everything into next xpac

#

look at Emerald Dream

#

worst "major conent update" zone theyve put out

hazy bronze
#

They realized they could get away with fated in SL

toxic pewter
#

some say war within is basically just a filler expansion

#

and that the real resources are going into midnight

#

the people want midnight

#

cuz of going back to quel thelas and elves and crap and true void expansion

blazing condor
#

i love paying monthly for a game just so i can enjoy it "for real" in 3 and a half years

toxic pewter
#

lol

#

df and war within are basically wod

#

and midnight is legion

#

think of it that way

blazing condor
#

surely

lusty grotto
#

people speculating over something that isnt even released lol

blazing condor
#

yeah also that

toxic pewter
#

what else is there to speculate about

lusty grotto
#

touching grass

blazing condor
#

why the focus gotta be on future expansions to begin with

toxic pewter
#

grass has not been released afaik..

blazing condor
#

fix the game thats live rn

lusty grotto
#

like why would you even bother thinking about if x upcoming expansion is gonna be like y past expansion

#

its pointless

toxic pewter
#

somethin to do

lusty grotto
#

uhuh

#

touching grass is a better thing to do

blazing condor
#

its -40 outside and a meter of snow

#

i aint touching no grass

#

even if i tried

toxic pewter
#

omg

#

who want me to develop grass simulator

#

does that exist yet

#

damn it already exists on steam

ashen coral
#

Hello I have a question, if I parry an auto attack from dogs in tott or from rezan, does it cancel the following dot ?

lusty grotto
#

it should

ashen coral
#

Oh it’s cool, also, why when I swap to offensive stance, my parry stat doesn’t increase ? I thought it was directly linked to crit ?

strong forum
#

Don't think you can parry rezan bleed

lusty grotto
#

oh i didnt see rezan

#

i stopped at dogs

strong forum
#

Only crit rating does

#

And str ofc

ashen coral
#

Oh ok I see

Yeah for rezan i guess it is a special mechanic (I thought it was melee who put dot) but i have my answer

blazing condor
#

yeah rezan bleed he applies "manually"

#

not an auto-attack thing

my sb uptime on recount is diff

#

been afk for a week

#

im shit or did they change something

lusty grotto
#

nothing has changed

warm plinth
#

I didn't know recount even still existed

dusky canopy
#

Yes, in one week they completely changed the spec to lessen your shield block uptime on details

lusty grotto
#

i had a guy running skada last week on fyraak

warm plinth
#

Wow

dusky canopy
#

I was a recount user forever

#

I think I switched to details in legion

frosty mango
#

They have their place

dusky canopy
#

Oh GM btwratJAMMIN

warm plinth
frosty mango
#

Details is pretty resource intensive, if you have a potato from 1995 may as well run 1995 addons

dusky canopy
#

Iirc recount inflates your dps so if you want bigger number

warm plinth
#

It never even comes close to what WAs use, or even elvui so idk
