what is reasonable average dps for prot for overall - i fluctuate depending on the key but I never see pug tanks output reasonable dps so I have no idea
mostly I just play fury but I end most keys as prot around 150-180
20-24 level
Varies pretty widely based on dungeon (everbloom vs rise will@be very different) and Aug/no Aug
Avg like 150 no Aug in something like atal
Everbloom is usually around 190 and something like tott with no Aug is like 160-170 if you don’t count the last boss
Gettin carried by my augury I think
Also depends on pulls, active time and so many things.
If you want you can check logs of a players to get an idea.
You can look for mine if you want, i log everything.
Teia-illidan-eu
I have a signet brand and I do a lot more if I chain with that but healers get grumpy lol
3rd diablo2 character in hell now
Do people use thunderbolt or shockwave at all?
As part of the rotation at least on CD?
does lower dmg and valuable aoe stun, so definitely not on st, shockwave probably doesnt hurt, but stun DR cc dr
first full value second half third 1/4 beyond no effect
New to prot tanking, other than cc value, not too detrimental of not using them then?
Shockwave is high value for both prot and fury
Less so this week with sanguine but it’s a lot of utility
Ok and thunderbolt is out of the rotation?
They are both not in the rotation
You use them to stop dangerous abilities. Mostly on shit that can’t be pummeled. But sometimes groups don’t use their own kicks so I use it while pummel on cd
U think next season we gonna run signet and anvil
that name sounds sketch
prob not anvil
anvil is pure ST
isnt the 10.0 parry trinket really good
Totem of the all master also good but I think signet and anvil better
May unironically see people run beacon and grieftorch I bet lol
i dont see anvil being good
but its like, if you are chain pulling with signet
may as well run anvil
running double channels seem sketch
Can I still get the legendary in prot loot spec?
Yes
So I've been tanking 15-20s, looking for highest damage output, is fyrakk crit trinket better than cataclysmic signet? pairing it with fyrakk rageheart.
Nice. loot spec doesn't change what raid bosses drop does it?
Legendary can drop from LFR even, just higher chances on higher difficulty.
Just drops from Fyrakk.
no, it only affects how you can roll for items in blizzard rolls
Ima run 2Hand prot with leggo and no one can stop me
The game will but u do u
Oh god i miss grieftorch. Was my week 1 vault loot
Used it well into season 2
Especially during "progress"
So does the upcoming patch in a bit over a week mean this season is half over?
A third over. Depending on how long individual patches will be. Cause this is the end of 10.2.0 and the start of 10.2.5, but there's 10.2.6 after that
but 10.2.0 was a bit longer than usual (10 weeks instead of 8 weeks), probably due to Christmas season, so might be a bit more than just a third
oh, actually 10.1.0 was also 10 weeks
well point is 10.1 to 10.2 was a span of 27 weeks
The road map puts season 4 launch some time in the spring. So we're looking at probably 2 1/2ish months of Season 3 left
Yeah I assume we'll see more nerfs to them prior to the season end
was abit curious about something. As prot warrior we can take many stacks on WCM boss right with ease. Then in BRH on smashspite, the charge is also physical . But it wrecked me when i try take 2 even with shield wall. While my monk friend can take many Hatefull charge, but he need clear stacks early in WCM. Then im wondering if u guys take DHT 1st Boss Primal ramppage to the face? to keep him in nice position, cause its also physical right.
U stand on the wall
It's physical, not block able
Our main mitigation relies on blocking, monks main mitigation relies on picking their ass
(it's always active and works vs everything)
As ikari said, smashspite charge isn't blockable. But it's dodgable so monk can basically solo every charge cuz they can guarantee a dodge
The timer on hateful charge is also lenient so there’s no need for it
except when you have a hunter that feign the cast so the boss insta-rushes you
smortest hunter player
i love that in premade groups 
u should be able to take two hits tho, just regular mitigation for the first, then shieldwall + w/e else u have, should be able to take 2 in row no probs
Is there any hint at all on what they plan to do for season 4 of m+?

doti is more fun than like 8/10 DF dungeons
itll be raid remix
not all 3 raids
itll be like a timeways kinda raid
do 3 bosses from there 3 from there 3 from there
prolly

thats my official prediction
the only df dungeons I don't like are doti, ulda, hof, and neltharus
rlp an av only getting like an 'I'm willing to live with it' grade
they should bring back shadowlands dungeons
but aa/brack/nok were the only ones I enjoyed

so we can use covenenat abilities again
i honestly wouldnt mind some of the SL dungeons
would be fun af
would it be
yah
Gambit, MoTS, Wake,
I'm just in actual disbelief every time I do rise.
hell even de other side more fun than df dungeons
even the obstacle course is annoying
sand area alone makes it dogshit
Idk I think it's chill
i havent had any big issues with it
spell block makes it comf
same with last boss
Could they actually be dumb enough to do that? DF dungeons are... not especially popular. Like thinking of the DF ones, the only one I actually like is Algethar.
Pretty sure it's already confirmed
If that's confirmed, that's really sad to hear.
they are not putting any further effort into DF, all their resources are going into midnight right now
midnight will basically be the next legion.. war within is effectively a few more content patches in preperation for midnight
gonna be on life support for couple more years
Ew, that does look a lot like we're back to doing the dogshit DF dungeons. Skippable season. I'm sure there's someone out there who likes Azure Vault and Brackenhide... but I haven't met them.
time to meet up irl
We have found the one person! 😮
I'm going to huff some hopium here and assume that they are going to take the most popular 'greatest hits' from this expansion's M+ pool and put those in, maybe along with some new ones.
If it is just Azure Vault and Uldaman time again, I can't imagine people are going to be thrilled with that.

yer im probably shkipping next season
after rewards
if there even is one
if there isnt then its full shkip
Well there'll be the mount and title, I'm sure.
Depends on how cool the title is!
i literally dont pay attention to anyones titles
at all
not even my own
i even have a HoF title but u loose that when u leave the guild
so 👍
wait you lose it if you leave the guild? wow never knew that, that sucks lol
unless im blind, but almost certain i dont have it anymore
it just changed back to the normal title
cool
Hof titles are tied to the guild not the player
You only require having CE of that tier to use the Hof title of said guild
Even in retrospect
Blizz hasn't been making big mistakes lately, this season is great, gonna have faith the next one isn't a trashfire. huffs deeper of the hopium
If you join a guild that has Hof in uldir and you have CE even from world rank 1000
You can use the Hof title on yourself
i like both and you'll be surprised that a lot of other peeps like them after the nerfs
uldaman and hall of infusions on the other hand will be kinda yikes
Hall of Infusion, oh no, I forgot about that one...
And nerf? They patched the AV skip so it kills you now. It's frog time again if that one comes back.
Frogs were generally only a problem for pugs
all the frog area is just a quasi-gauntlet that needs to be done in one continuous pull
lmao the mount
shit doesnt even fly
and we have 3 of them now
df m+ mounts may go down in wow history as some of the worst of all time
literally the worst
Well, KSM is pretty easy to get so it's good to have just to add to the pile.
shadowlands s1 was the last time ksm was cool
now a pulse is effectively optional
and you'll still get ksm
they did the shadowlands mounts in a very weird order though
black one for the red raid
red one for the black raid
teal for the gold raid
purple for some reason
Purple cuz dreadlords
Why is protection not favored in keys compared to protpal/vdh? Is it purely damage or does stops matter that much? (We do have a couple though?)
arguably other classes can bring more to a group in terms of off-healing/other utility, but in the end its mostly just that the perception of pwarr is bad
unpopular tank
every tank has something (brez, being giga busted like vdh, offheals/utility like ppal/guardian and whatnot), pwar is either busted or meh because you dont really bring anything outside of some decent stops and dam
which is kinda like vdh except again, vdh is busted
With T31, do you still only IP to prevent overcap/tank up or does it mix up priority with revenge?
So the only thing vdh has over protwar is damage?
What about pwar this season?
👆
saw a video of yoda stunned for 3 seconds on +30 fortified bolstering with 10 mobs and his hp bar didnt even move
every tank is good this season
top groups dictate meta but pwar is still very good even at very high keys
👍
I really liked it in S2
Good damage too
And basically unkillable against melee attacks
Every tank is good yes but the higher key you go the more important it is for you to offer your team actual util
Rally is dogwater
in all my 32 years
Give pwar lust
i have never been so asahamed
nah its good
u tell people they stack
so all the warriors rally
I poo in ppallys mouths
Welcome
Thank you
POg
Wish you played on NA nomer
i need more friends to play with
its so hard to do anything without friends
Motivation wise
not difficulty
pugging is shit no matter what region
lmao
lol true
I gotta show you guys something
This was a +5 with my brother (monk) who’s 424, and I was 444 at the time.
Priest and BM were 453
wow is unplayable alone
straight up
Priest is kinda understandable but idk what the hunter was doing lol
well its an mmorpg
kinda built around the social aspect
too bad most of the systems now don't really push for socialising
hey y'all.. question.. this was a 14 waycrest at 438 .. i'm doing considerably less dps than on my other tanks
yeah modern wow is closer to a queue game like league or overwatch at this point than an mmo. each expansion the actual world loses more and more meaning and any semblance of importance
what am I doing wrong?
we need logs not details
I uh didnt do a key last week
my healer friend
had to go to texas for like 3 weeks for holidays
and im like 
MMO isnt a very fun game without friends
what mmo though.. the game has become just standing around in city and then go in a dungeon or raid
like if they removed the city and just had a queueing screen on your desktop nothing would change
APB the new doom guy?
😅😅
Wait, vengeance can take the boss without moving into fire?
a well played tank can tank goliath for VERY long
(depending on keylevel aswell)
like on 26 fort pwar can do the boss without resetting
vdh pally prolly aswell
Yeah, I did a 21 fort and didn’t take to fire. Was pretty easy
bdk and monk for very long aswell
i did it on 24 fort very comfily
👻
28 tyra, 96 stacks
thats what I've seen veng do
at 20 tyra my 472 bdk was taking 1m melees at 60 stacks
so imagine veng at 28 tyra 96 stacks
i think mwahi did like a 26 or 27 with reseting once or somthing before the nerfs
yeah its realistic for us to just reset once
makes the fight easy
you can just blow all Cds on that clear if needed
why is a spec other than us doing better at tanking physical damage
am i missing something here
I did Goliath this week on tyran 23 and did not reset
I didn’t even need d stance until the very end
it just seems inappropriate when we are supposedly the best tank for physical damage.. but apparently we are not any longer..
just feelsbadman
hmm
you make a compelling point
agreed
Fury very unfun this season 😦
TBH I don't like the current iteration of Arms either
There's just something lacking in it these days, and IDK what
It's meta cause you're in it
I bet the havoc DH beat you
Ofc
But I'm not anymore being beaten by 20%+
I'm slowly catching up
Getting better at arms
i think its time in war within for them to balance raid m+ and pvp separately
the time has come
it just makes the most sense for what wow has become
going to make a forums post now
anyone else farming the fucking cheat death trinket or is it just me?
ive done like 15 runs just today and still nothing
nope not even bothered
15 runs isnt that much
thats just this week
but my guild insists i get it for mythic smolderon because our healers are struggling
ive died a couple times after 3-4 dps die to tornados and then the tank debuff hits me for 1.3m
why are u being hit by tornadoes
This isn't a tank issue, it's a "tell the DPS to get their heads out of their asses"
yup
cheat death trinket isnt going to help anything
just use a defensive for tank buster
ya last week was the first week on it and so i didnt have defensives 100% down
but going forward i was gonna shield wall/SR/Dstance all of them
and every other one do last stand and rageheart
no reason i should ever die
im the 2nd one
also I did 1 key today
I think I beat u on rio
please crush all fury warr
I'm 3314 now
ah
Is it just me or are warriors getting shafted by monks on ST in raids ?
Well pwar is one of the lowest dps tanks in raid so uh ig?
ah well that explains alot
but this brew was sitting on 14 mil more dmg than me, yet I did everything i could ( mythic igra 9
Spear padding goes hard
With tod
That's 99th percentile igira
Still very tiny gaps
ty for info
I just reset every 3 thorns
and every 2 if healer is a pepega lmao regardless of keylevel
I'll end up inting
and then we wipe :kekw:
Pug strat is: just get through the key at all costs
wear 35 cheat death trinkets
etc
I only did brh 26
tank got dc on 1st boss
on 30 or 20%
xd
so we had wipe at like 10%
and that pretty much costed us 2chest
chad move wouldve been if you had a priest grip or aug rescue
and just move tank around then frontal
Resets are for cowards
Or tanks who don't have 🛡️
Truth be told, mostly I don't reset because I don't trust pug healers to survive through the fire phase.
fair
I just explain what im going to do
so its basically scripted
if i just hold it until it dies
chances re i'll fuck up
im actually giga shit at the game, its why i dont understand why people cant run 20s for free and get stuck
If i can do it, so can any of you, im brainless and have bad instincts
I also basically mash so my ability usage is spotty and even my AM falls off LOL
I just press buttons
I second this
Unless you're doing like a 26+ tyr then I guess one reset is okay
Eh. 26. I might actually D Stance in a 26.
Fundamentally, if the wickerman gets high enough stacks to kill you then the problem is your DPS are bad and aren't killing it fast enough.
At what stack is it actually considered worth resetting?
~30-33
Is what most groups do in high keys
Every 3 thorns
Aka once every minute
If you're giga gaming you maybe delay it 1 more spike
But 3 is the average
How do DH go to 100?
Meta go brrr
Meta is weak. They just parry a lot.
Yeah I have know idea what im talking about when it comes to DH
just threw something out there

To expand on what Nome said, it also depends on how long is left in the fight/how many stacks you can handle. If you can't stay alive through the entire boss, you reset around 30-33 (after third thorn) so the healer can actually heal through the fire. Then after that, you can again gauge whether you can live enough stacks to finish or if you need a second reset (again around 30-33 stacks after a thorns)
I've looked at a couple of the higher tyr logs and they tend to reset around that mark, but there's not a lot of prot war logs that high; I assume prot probably only has to reset once though and just coast the rest of the fight
Just saw prot is F tier for both m+ and raid, we are fantastic guys yay
can't even tank +2s
Do we handle the tree boss easily cuz he's all physical damage?
Because he's all blockable damage, specifically
Ok
And we're the only spec that can guarantee blocks
Paladin blocks too but only some of the time and they can't plan on it
100% block is BiS
Tierlists are shit
Aggregated data that biases popularity.
Or feelcraft shit.
Has any M+ season ever had more than 8 dungeons in it?
U mean we r shit
Tierlists are S tier, just check my tierlist
yes
shadowlands s3 had 10
i believe bfa s3/4 had 10
but im not sure as i didnt play then
Kitty why you still here, pls quit game and touch grass ❤️
I quit before the kill, couldn't be asked, also had some personal shit
Ban evade my ass
Fair enuff, IRL before game, any day of the week
Archi, putting you on perma timeouts
Clearly
Only way to remove the ban, is to touch grass and come back with a new account
And so it begins, the timer for the next ban
No no, Back to prot, Why we F tier guys, Did you all reroll prot paladin?
We all know subcreation is a popularity list
Good

I am reformed
F is crazy. Maybe B, at the lowest. We aren't as good as paladins/VDH right now and I'd like some better utility (or some other compensation for lacking it), but prot warrior is viable.
Nah, we F, we cant even tank a +2
It's literally just that other classes timed higher keys than us
doubt
My main is prot, though I have been dabbling in a paladin alt a little.
For the casuals tho, tanking on my warrior is such a breeze, 18s was like tanking a +2. So it gotta be one of the better tanks.
You simply cant die
But the fact i came back new years and currently 474 we can deffo time higher than 2s, I just died in 24 rise and 23 rise so I am chilling on alt till reset
Spell reflect value city tho
I only found out we have the aoe taunt talent that stops spellcasting....
My pala chilling
Interrupts are so nice
Paladin is all fun and games, till you flop
True
Warrior, says, nah to dam
Deios says otherwise
Go WCM, be god
Just need 486 ilvl and a healer to heal me
WCM?
I was thinking of going with our almost cheat death
Don't. Battle Scarred Veteran is shit.
Ion spitting facts
Shutup monk with perma lay on hands
Only 20 and 23 get good
sounds like you did
I try to forget so i dunno
Yall think I’m f’d out of getting CE this tier? Given the tragic state of…something like only 70 guilds have downed fyrakk….season could end as soon as end of march (beginning of spring). We’re likely downing M Smolderon Tuesday night. We got CE last tier, roughly US 500. I’ve heard a lots ppl referencing this feels like sanctum…I don’t think guilds much past like US 400 got CE that tier
We a 2 day guild
Honestly annoyed fated is coming so soon, does anyone even want fated ..
I don't understand why Bliz is ending the season so "early" too (early = before enough peopole have cleared the tier). Is "Mythic" actually meant to be "Professional" teams only, now?
Who said it's ending early?
We don't even know when fated is coming specifically. We have at least 2 1/2ish months left of the season
if you assume S4 comes right at the start of spring
2 months is like another 8 weeks of prog
yeah its fine
rather this than have year long tiers like shadowlands
Defensives + impending + pot + healer healing +
You can't use impending while inside there
Plus I can't even see my own healthbar like wtf?
and I dont have all my defensives up for all of them
U can on party frames
all the grips
objectively false information
I can use abvilities in there?
liek shield slam
?
You can press all of your normal buttons while gripped.
I don't want it to drag on but I would love to clear mythic. Unlikely the way it's scaled atm.
yeah its way too early for it to close anytime soon
has hall of fame even closed yet
I pull first couple packs if they lust i pull bear, i dunno
That's what I've been doing
Did they fix the issue
Where the boss can pick you up weirdge and if you have smol arms on your race choice you can't hit boss
What really? is that a thing? lol
I play a dwarf and never had that issue so idk
Correct.
no. this is not fixed. happens to me at least once every few dungeons.
not being able to impending victory is often the difference between life and death and it's a toss up whether or not he picks you up wrong.
What race are you? o.o
Bobby kotick is gone and the rampant racism towards smol peepeel is still rampant
I've never ever had it happen as a Dwarf.
Prolly a vulp/gnome thing
didn't they normalize hitboxes in wrath or something
night elves and kultiran
it happens like 50/50 for me on crushing grips. idk wtf the deal is.
that or cata
so it's prob a completely unrelated bug
well might be something to do with height not like radius 🤷
its the circle around that was standardized
but taurens for instance can still get stuck in doors
Pretty sure they fixed the hitboxes in cata when they changed your position to also read while jumping
i "should" push some rio this week but whats the point 
already hitting the burnout wall
sorry wasn't quick enough on the edit
The amount of times I've been told that this doesn't actually exist and I'm just making excuses for being bad
Don't even need that; with Banner in SL season 4, the door going to the stealth section in workshop was too small for me to fit through
i remember swimming in De Other Side in the ardenweald section
thats why transformation items OP
ew
pffft, i just realized i didn't even mention in what dungeon
this is what i get for waking up recently
Dwarf or bust.
honestly yes the play is to be a dwarf
I like dorf a lot, so I like next xpac
but who wants to be a dwarf
i mean i'm going to keep being a cow on my main because it's just what I started as and I'm personally invested, but
It'll be nice to be able to be Horde and have dorf
ive been panda since 5.0 
but im starting to get a bit bored of it
double food buff kinda nice tho ngl
so close
I barely notice WoW animations, to be completely honest. They're so minor compared to the flashy bits I get from fighting games that I get absolutely no rush from them
I do prefer them to FF14's animations, though, which are bland and obtrusively flashy, tho
To what?
But yeah, I get invested into my characters as characters and as extensions of myself, so major overhauls like race changes feel whack to me
idk i have severe psychosis and just play on auto pilot not really noticing anything
idk this version of mage tower is easy 4 me but i have severe psychosis and whenever i play wow i just sort of zone out like im not in my body and im just playing my character on auto pilot or something dodging mechanics and doing big dam its pretty crazy but thats just who i am
dont we ascend at 7100 haste
Oh, i don't really pay attention to my stats. 😂
I can't do a 20 because I'm too busy playing fighting games
I can't do 20s because i dont want too
may i interest you in distracting yourself with fighting games, jakey
I know you're across an ocean from me, but it'll be fine, rollback netcode's been making those connections playable
its interesting how inflated keys are rn in general. In SL i did a 22 ToP that was like top 6,000 in the world (at a pretty late point)
now my 25 atal is 21k in the world
i hate fighting games
honestly im just giga burnt on like everything right now

I do too, so understandable :L
my friend got so tilted he threw up playing Tekken 7

Never underestimate the fight game salt.
Meanwhile, my hate's from a different point
You can carry my mage in a 20 today.
damn look the difference in Doti
🙏
mwahi mage? 
there's not enough good fighting games out there like hnk or some of the real shitty ones
Je, i'm a washed up warrior.

Raid today
maybe bwfore i guess
Oh, also, my condolences on them playing Tekken, I hope their illness gets cured. (I'm mostly 2D fighters)
No sad. Pug life is just bad.
fax
So i'm doing something more relaxing.
Not getting invited to keys anyways as warrior.

5 tank when?
At least when I was signing up for keys, I wasn't given really shit reasons this xpac so far
just push ur own key 
Honestly, i tried a bit. But people are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad.
And the keys i require for score actually require brain cells.
Rise and Throne namely.
Y'know, I'm not even surprised that got caught by automod since I quoted a player. Anyhow:
i won't forget in SL S4 when i was actually told that warriors can't tank +2s and i was an idiot for applying as prot
not false
ive had pretty good luck with my own key pushings
at least compared to the premades i usually play with
but ive only pugged 25s at max
I generally have better luck, or at least a more enjoyable time, with pugs than the people I know, yeah

thats bm hunter
frost is pretty brain off, too, since one friend i have can play it
I had a "when did warrior get good?" comment earlier
people see numbers as a finish line for some reason
Yup. But apparently this is news to some people. It wasn't even that impressive a key TBH.
i dont even know how much haste i have
I have enough that Shield Block never goes down.
hell i havent tracked stats for a while
i just have the thing cause people kept asking lol
here we go
Fight me.

Mine is relatively low base but higher in practice because I'm wearing a Lariat
I'm considering making some boots next week, unless some turn up in the vault
just not be able to get upgrades anymore
Or Volcoross provides tonight
can literally 
Nice flex.
i lied
if i sim a Torc it sims lower than my nymue neck
i think my stats are borked tho
I did a whole load of sims earlier this week and the only thing I really learned was that the differences were basically nonexistent
Which reminds me..i should craft gear for my warri.
nah its a bait, don't
just do crimes instead
everybody always want to make as much money as possible and hustle until it comes to scamming the elderly
Hey guys, so in TWW my guild will take a more serious approach to raiding and start progressing Heroic, so I need to prepare. Could you guys basically write down the entire rotation, for every single situation, now before the expansion comes out? I am a very serious player, and most definitely a min/maxer, so I need to know! Do we use Execute when the guy gets below 35% or what? Is it worth it? I am also a hardcore transmogger, so please tell me which racial is the best for prot? Oh and by the way, vers or haste in tww? xD or is it too soon to say
do it 
Don't take my words for granted, but:
- A full guide for every situation would be undoable.
- Wowhead is a good source for guides, also rotation
- Try to find gameplay vids of your class/spec
- By the time TWW drops, things may be completely different in your spec
Oh and 5) I don't see the relation between transmog and racials 😄
6 dont get baited by copy pastas

proggin tindral atm, been fine. idk bout fyrak tho, cause ppl are usually usin dk's and dh to get adds together
Do you have a BDK cotank
no, i have prot pally
Good luck LMAO
as co tank
Ya but those 2 are cracked out of their minds
That’s his wife or something right
Ye
ye
Absolute gigachad performance
its cool asf

“Yeah we just play Druid/warrior”
“Get Fucked”
You're welcome all the same 🤣🤣🤣🤣

true 
where shield tho?
wdym with that. Its proven that a good transmogg is way more dps than anything else
Look good, feel good, do good dps
I stand corrected!
Fashion is the true endgame
this true in any mmo
Any game honestly
what's a guardian druids favorite music genre? thrash metal 
^do that

Someone learned how to misuse AI
Does that mean warriors favorite music is speed metal?

nish lets just wait until jakey goes 
I’ll go post it in fury, surely archi won’t mind
Archi only cares when you post bad math
All math is bad
There is no debate. Its CM or T3
And if ppl say its subjective then their opinion is objectively wrong
t3 is a solid meh
and the blue naxx armor is hella ugly
ppl just use it cus its expensive/rare
T3 has jaggies
I cannot stand low-res textures on armor
They could legitimately have an ai upscale the entire database in a week but don't, I mean I get why, it would bloat the install size
But at least hit the tiersets
just got royal crest of lordaeron
T4 is one of my favorites but it's like 1/3 the resolution of current gear
Given what Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast gets trashed when people notice AI art, I’m not sure that’s a great suggestion
Even if it’s just upscaling
Talking about upscaling, not new assets
Also yeah fuck Hasbro
Wotc has been their only good performer and they keep pulling stupid shit, like trying to lockdown the OGL
Well, I'm in agreement about the AI art thing, as working for wotc was a good gateway to having your art career take off
Like the tattoo in baseKetball
probably is now if used correctly
AI upscaling concern I guess is related to it being just one step away from just letting the AI create alternative images based on a human persons art, making follow up work unnecessary
Wierd world
Like it probably takes a few tries
I'd actually say it's the reverse
You can make a base image, ai fleshes it out, and then you need a human to "fix" the issues
That could be the new industry … but you know companies will try to short cut it
And just let the AI do all
Hello I have a question about sim, if I do patchwerk 5 targets 1min30, am i supposed to do the same dps as the sim on fluffy pillows ? I get 235k while sim tells me 250k
But some abilities/trinkets don’t do the same damage as me, they have their revenge way higher than me (I used it 15 times and sim used it 22 times)
Also for outburst, should I use it thunder clap when there are 5 targets or still shield slam ? I did it with shield slam every time but i don’t know
you will never do the same dps as a sim
Sim is best used as a guide for gearing
what are fluffy pillows though
I believe it's 8? Targets for TC to pull ahead
The short of it is, always send on SS
The patchwerk targets in simc
oh
I don’t know the actual word in english but the place where you train
the training dummies
Yes thank you
So if I want to know if I do my rotation correctly, I should be close to like 95% of the shown dps ? 90% ?
i dont think a sim breakdown is the place to compare to
Even when there is avatar ?
it never is sim literally just gives u info on whats best its never anything to compare to
and im assuming the sim is only using it depending on SS procs
And if i do a sim of 9 minuts and do a 9 minute test for me, would it remove variance ?
no
Keep in mind the sim probably has all raidbuffs, a lust phase and execute phase
SS procs
if you want to know if youre doing your priority correctly the best resource is to post a log and ask us to review it
I removed all flask and raid except battle shout
About execute i didn’t see the move so i don’t think it changes
i dont think the sim gets to execute range
It does a bunch of sims at once and gives you the average iirc
at 1.5 mins
keep in mind
the APl is made by people here
so instead of looking at the sim, ask us with a log
I will do a few dungeons then
more specifically, Nome is the one maintaining it iirc
It's like what, 3pm there, he's fine to ping
so the sim is not the end-all-be-all of your priority since its rules are played out by the APL designed by mods and admins from this discord
Don't be like certain people and ping Nom at 3am
Textures bloat install size. Jaggies are easily solved by implementing a better AA technique


I mean, that produces a washed out/fuzzy appearance trying to fix it with AA
You can only smear so much petroleum jelly on the lens
Raiding and Valkdrakken in WoW are engine limited. Throw 10 4090s at it and you will have the same fps as a 970 
How did they manage to f that up so bad
Its the Warcraft 3 engine
…
At this point they should just make wow 2 kek
Im shocked they managed to make it DX12 ready
everybody lags but only me has the 10 second loading screen between 3rd and 4th boss EB

I mean surely I can raid at 2k 144fps right???
Mechanical hd????
Everytime my buddy uses his PC and i hear his HDDs spool up i feel like i need to throw up
Bro not even close
This games fps is horrendous
When i raid i love when my fps AND utilization drop at the same time lmao
Literally
Cant expect much from a small indie dev
I sit around 120~
That’s good
I optimized all my WoW graphics to the best of my knowledge
I’d be happy w that
In a 25 man raid with everything maxed? Na dude
This game just runs like shit
Did you turn off raiderio
Yes
But 5800x3d and 7900 XT
Even plater
Irrelevant when the Engine doesnt use all that power
I upgraded to a 6800xt and i get the same fps in a raid with my old 5700xt
Raiders without fps drops would be too powerful
Actually wow caps the gpu out no problem to push frames, but I do turn raytracing off in raid
Is mhw the one w iceborne?
BIS
What cpu?
I just re bought mhw + dlc for the pc I haven’t played it since it launched years ago on ps4 lol
7800x
You said x
Hit me up if you wanna play
I’m heavily debating going 14900k since single core is so much better and I play wow 90% of the time
Just checked. No normal X
But at this point rooach I feel like you're a little full of it
But the 3d cache is so nice for literally everything else
Wow is fully capable of taking advantage of higher end hardware
It's just optimized like shit
For sure roach I’ll hit you up next time I play, I’ll put the friend code in my personal discord for later
Bro youre the only one here saying you got good frames while all our PCs are plenty powerful. If one person swims against the current its usualy that person capping. Hit me up with a recording of you raiding in a 25 man on tindral then send it
I’m not online right now at work instead
❤️ Gotcha
Believe it or not the highest fps in our guild is a guy with a 5800x3d +7900xtx running Linux OS
He gets about 50fps when roots spawn
On mythic tindral
He’s shown us screenshots
Im browsing reddit rn to find some more evidence but all i can find is ppl complaining about raid fps
It’s literally nameplates
Nameplates cause like 50% of fps problems
Because the game is trying to load auras on friendly and enemy nameplates all at once and it can’t handle it
Apparently also lots of problems with FSR and 10.2 in general
Yes do not use scaling right now if you have been
I was actually testing it last night
No reason to use scaling
ofc not. Just looking but there is still nobody that gets 144fps in any raid
Zero
Except Ikari
Standing on valdraken stairs I would set scaling to say 83% and my fps would actually go down from 45 to like 30
Probably has a Qbit capable PC
Ive only used FSR in CP2077 so far
On launch to make it playable
How is he using Linux? Does he have a gpu passthrough setup?
Tbf I get 100+ fps also just never during heavy add fights
ToTT boss 2, is it normal that my ravager doesn’t knock back the bubbles ?
Adds just half my FPS per add 
amd drivers for linux are good, nvidia drivers are dogshit
as how he runs the game, well that's another story
Lutris probably?
plenty of options
wine being the common one i guess
All i want is every game to use vulcan so my AMD card can stomp the next 5 generations of Nvidia too
@lusty grotto New cap
uhuh
He uses “Nobara” he said it basically plug and play for AMD users
That's not how math works
thats not how without buffs work
What buffs?
No buffs
Anything that gives you haste outside of your gear
ok lets play the what buffs game
Guess and you win a prize
nope
What addon tells you the amount after reductions
lets see how much hast ei can get
U r wrong sir
are you 12
who cares if im wrong
U lose
Ofc 
Instead of discussing worthless stats lets talk about me doing the FFXIV crossover in MHW now and turning my cat into a cupo
What addon is it that show how much u are over diminish etc :)?
Its gonna float
Ew but then I have to use fedora
true stat values
And have a stupid ball
❤️
its also an addon called my nickname

So cap is really 7600?
Cap is 7100
did my nickname stutter
True rating 7600
You can equip over 7100 but it is stupid to do so because it’s a dps loss
did my nickname stutter????
I'm reading your addon
We have already figured this out
If you want to equip 8k haste go for it
But it’s a dps loss
7100 is the haste cap for dps gain
I was just trolling about 8k, but I'm just reading his addon saying true value 7600 unless meaning 30% over 7100 then yh
Makes sense
True value means he has 7600 stat value from haste yes
All the same going over 7100 is total waste
Yeah I get it now
I have not partaken in the stat talk in a while but iirc 5400 is a good haste point to be at because you get the rest of the stat from itf+consumes
we dont stop going haste
I just sim, as i said, i was trolling
I mean yeah I meme all the time about 400% haste
Just saying 5400 haste is good for something I just don’t remember exactly
5400 rating is when you swap to ITF
I got 5100 rn but my boots are vers mastery which i want gone
There it is then
i have 1091
