jagged pier

sick sentinel
#

So theres still hope for me in mythic raid this late in season

jagged pier
#

i mean sure 🤷

#

less than 100 guilds have killed fyrakk

#

like than 200 tinrdall

#

and like 800 smoldy

dusky canopy
#

Yeah Tindral is really really really difficult

sick sentinel
#

Worldwide?

#

jheez

jagged pier
#

they like around 1500 guilds to clear the raid

dusky canopy
#

Last Thursday my guildies where saying only 60 guilds have killed tindral and fyrakk

#

We pulled tindral for 3hrs that night and we didn’t make it p2 once

#

Lmao

jagged pier

The 50 second roots into laser Beams go brrr

#

I've still not got curve, 2nd week back, every group i make for fyrakk wipes and half leaves cba with it atm, got guild run tonight so todays the day

#

My guilds on nymue atm i believe

silent vessel
#

its easier with pugs now since they nerfed the dispells for smaller groups

sick sentinel
#

Still tho not fun when half the group leaves after 1 attempt

#

Like at least give it 3 pulls damn

silent vessel
#

true

sick sentinel
#

New people new mistakes, just a headache

urban portal
#

you wouldve lived with 0 vers

warm plinth
#

82 guilds are 9/9 that's a fucking yikes

lusty grotto
#

its ok

#

patch is soon

#

so cross realm will open

#

i know cause my dad is John McBlizzard

#

and my mom is Mary McMicrosoft

hard bolt
#

Isn’t cross realm open after the first 100 kills

lusty grotto
#

whichever comes first

jagged pier
#

i mean in TWW its just open from the start

hard bolt
#

As it should be

Ngl one benefit of moving to Canada is not everything tastes like HFCS, legitimately thought I was drinking liquefied Doritos last time I was back in the states and had a coke, once you get away from that crap it's very noticeable when you encounter it

blazing condor
#

Is it Watcher's Loam that makes it so that your boots shoot out money whenever you jump

#

or is it my boots specifically

#

ooh

#

nvm

#

i got it transmogged to "coinage stompers"

uneven mason
#

Quality opulence drop, don't think I've ever seen them drop

strong forum
#

it was so annoying in BoD

#

and still is

#

everytime you jump fucking coins

uneven mason
#

That fight was troll

#

Not surprised it dropped a troll item

#

Ofc it was a troll raid

#

In the troll capital of the world

jagged pier
#

got rank 1 on oppluence

#

cause the dps died so i cleaved with crit buff

uneven mason
#

People always asking "why's the horde city setup like ass in bfa"

Cuz trolls bruh

jagged pier
#

horde city setup always arse

dusky canopy
#

Horde city’s are BiS

#

I want to be dwarf but do not like ally citys

#

Maybe I’m just used to horde is all

warm plinth
#

Most likely

#

You should at least know stormwind if you played bfa though

dusky canopy
#

I will say though

#

Iron forge

#

That place is so Bis

#

Best city in game hands down

#

But I’m a dwarf enjoyer haha

warm plinth
#

Boralus 100% better than Dazar'alor though

dusky canopy
#

I actually have never once been in boralus

#

Unless you count the dungeon lmao

uneven mason
warm plinth
#

Right?

#

The only thing horde had on alliance was easier mechagon access

uneven mason
#

Dazarlor - you want a mission table? Fuck you, mount up, oh forgot something in the bank? That'll be a flightpath back

#

hey thats my day to day life

warm plinth
#

A 13 year old kid beat NES tetris

jagged pier
#

yer thats big new actually

uneven mason
#

I woke up one morning in February after falling asleep in December and that's what my wallet looked like, then I saw the bartender at my local dive drive up in a new Mercedes

warm plinth
#

It's insaaaane. Some of those fucked colors levels are so hard to see

jagged pier
#

and the speed

#

for that long

warm plinth
#

Yep. It's a testament to consistency. Rolling literally changing the game.

#

To think we just saw someone get colors in competition last year and now someone gets 157 which was thought to be impossible

jagged pier
#

yer rolling was so massive most of the old pros started moving to it, because they could compete with hyper tappers but not fucking rolling

uneven mason
#

Waiting for level 255

#

The exponential increase in chances to crash above 155 is nutty

#

Getting to roll the levels will be the next big milestone

grim pilot
#

what was about stormwind in bfa

warm plinth
#

I don't think it's possible because the game technically breaks at 127

#

Visions

grim pilot
#

ah the quest line?

#

for the cloak

#

or

warm plinth
#

Well you did at least one a week and stormwind was every other week

uneven mason
warm plinth
#

Yeah but that was emulated no?

#

These guys play on actual NES consoles

uneven mason
#

Yeah probably near impossible for a human

toxic pewter
#

did they change where you show up in boralus if you take the portal from stormwind like they did with dazar alor (show up at DA docks now)

uneven mason
#

But we thought the killscreen was impossible as well

warm plinth
#

I think you show up on the boat where Matthias Shaw is

#

Well skillwise it's possible. I just think software wise it's not

#

On an actual console

dusky canopy
uneven mason
#

I think it's possible it's just dodging all the possible crashes while still clearing lines

warm plinth
#

Yeah basically RNG though sadly

uneven mason
#

You'd need the perfect sequence of pieces

edgy bone
#

@warm plinth @uneven mason rolling

#

Is this the Tetris thing

jagged pier
#

yer its a technique

warm plinth
#

Yeah you use your thumb on the dpad and roll your fingers/ thumb of your other hand to quickly input by pressing the button into your thumb instead of tapping with your thumb. It makes inputs MUCH faster

#

Because at level 29+ you only have about 15 frames at most to get the piece where it needs to be

edgy bone
#

@warm plinth I saw some ultra nerd do it on a YouTube short

warm plinth
#

Andy is my favorite player. He's like watching Lightee play wow. Super consistent and never looks like he's trying lol

uneven mason
#

Ngl makes me wanna drive home and dust off the old nes and crt tv in my parents garage

#

Shit probably still works

#

Pretty sure they have to use crt because LED input lag is too high

uneven mason
#

He's probably got fist of the north star vein muscle in his hands and fingers though

#

Pressing buttons

warm plinth
#

It has something to do with the refresh rate or something because tetris runs at a fixed fps

#

Lcd has high enough refresh now that you could use it but I think they use crt in competition for fairness

jagged pier
#

keeps the crt markket alive as well

warm plinth
#

Yeah the players even use CRTs at home. I play on LCD but I'm not good enough to even get to 19 much less 29 and beyond

uneven mason
warm plinth
#

Oh I've never noticed

uneven mason
#

Not that I've been playing my old nes for the last 5 years

warm plinth
#

But not like I'm playing at speeds that I'd probably notice anyway though. Would probably be more noticeable when it gets actually fast

uneven mason
#

Ended up in the "leave behind" box when I moved counties

lusty tiger
#

I’ve wanted to scoop my parents crt out of the house to play melee on

warm plinth
#

I bought mine recently from dkoldies

#

Like mid-late last year

#

Looked on Facebook marketplace but they were all sketchy or in bad shape

#

Or missing shit

urban portal
#

can you even buy CRTs

#

or do you have to find 2nd hands

warm plinth
#

Thrift stores and flea markets basically

#

You can't get them brand new anymore that I know of.

urban portal
#

and those 500-1k gaming monitors wouldnt do the same job?

#

thats interesting

brittle owl
#

i'd rather wipe my ass with broken glass than use a crt unironically tbh

i am calling subjectivity cope on that one

Did you just straight up ignore the pic I sent in response to your message @warm plinth

brittle owl
#

crt's don't smooth, they look "smudgy" and less sharp compared to modern TV's just by their working principle

lusty grotto
#

dazaralor, w/e

#

the epitome of "how do we waste more player time" in a city

#

like ghash said, boralus is the superior of the two

tribal wharf
#

i added to this meme, but, sure ya

uneven mason
lusty grotto
#

you know whats the worst part of dazaralor?

surreal kindle
#

At what haste rating do you opt-out from heavy repercussions to into the fray?

lusty grotto
#

if you wanna go to any other horde city, boralus and dazaralor have all city portals

#

5600 rating

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

and if you use the stupid fucking port to dazaralor

#

it places you in the goddamn docks

#

so, congrats, you once again have to relive the traveling 50 miles experience of dazaralor just to get to something or someone

surreal kindle
lusty tiger
#

It doesn’t really matter anymore though since none of those games have really aged well and nobody really wants to deal with the space requirement or the general ownership of a crt

echo egret
#

TOTT 2nd boss, is it normal my ravager doesn’t knock back the bubbles when they spawn and chase us ?

timber nest
#

Yes

warm plinth
#

There's a few specs that are really good for them. Mistweaver and outlaw are both amazing

echo egret
# timber nest Yes

So is it the same for any kind of ground AoE ? Like Blizzard also useless on them ?

sick sentinel
#

Atal'dazar pugs are just eh

#

I got told I shouldn't kite around the room

uneven mason
#

Can agree , had a ret be like "I'll handle the spiders"

sick sentinel
#

My ret didn't bubble pop spiders

#

"This is not how I've done this boss"

#

Maybe in a 11 bud but this is a 20+

uneven mason
#

Popping spiders is cringe

sick sentinel
#

true i like training

uneven mason
#

Because those puddles

blazing condor
#

popping spiders is cringe

#

too big circles

sick sentinel
#

If they are in middle all good

median tulip
#

Just let the rest of the party die and solo it for half its HP

sick sentinel
#

^^^

uneven mason
#

Literally covered the arena with purple shit

warm plinth
#

You shouldn't need to pop spiders if you're doing the boss properly. You're just filling the room with shit.

uneven mason
#

Right I had a slow motion

warm plinth
#

The unfortunate part is that doing the boss properly relies like 80% on the rest of the group and 20% on you

sick sentinel
#

I mean you can if in the middle of the room but not in kite path but at the point where there is too many spiders well... you already done fucked up

#

And i meant the "not done this boss" as in kiting aroudn the room i didnt tell him to pop them just to clarify

timber nest
uneven mason
#

Pretty sure it requires a melee hit

echo egret
#

A hunter's volley works

uneven mason
#

I mean, neat...

sick sentinel

Just shield slam them šŸ¤“

uneven mason

Missing last tier

warm plinth
#

Invite outlaw rogue, put outlaw rogue between boss and adds, ???, profit

echo egret
#

Another question : I'm progressing on Smolderon hc tonight. Is it best to save my cooldowns for the initial physical+fire dmg hit with soakers, or for the following bomb explosion when I'm far from healers ?

sick sentinel
#

Stats is spitting facts today

uneven mason
sick sentinel
#

Spell block leap charge impending profit

echo egret
#

šŸ‘

uneven mason
#

Should have wall for each one as well

echo egret
#

Yeah, only Two brands each phase, right ?

sick sentinel
#

And if you do not just stack a bit of ignore pain or stack a little just incase, never hurts

uneven mason
echo egret
#

Yup that's what I implied, 1 for each tank

sick sentinel
#

If you get the ring around you other tank should taunt off vice versa and only take the BIG circle

echo egret
#

Can it happen that a tank gets ring twice in a row ?

sick sentinel
#

Never seen it, I dunno what the ability is called

#

But should not happen

echo egret
#

It's called Overheated

sick sentinel
#

Yes i just looked at it in guide xD

sick sentinel
#

Yeah no you never get it twice in a row, its a to me to you to me to you to me to you

#

And also players with overheated should not stack with tank in soak just to add

uneven mason
#

But yes you can spell block every other soak and sw each one on top of sr and demo

sick sentinel
#

As long as you do that and people stack behind boss and you take orbs after the knockback in intermission its a gg

uneven mason
#

Than a circle in the soak

echo egret
#

I vividly remember our first pull on him where no one soaked and I went splat.

uneven mason
#

Smolder is 60% people dodging tornado, 35% not dropping a pool in the fucking center and 5% catching balls

sick sentinel
#

Patchwerk with a twist

uneven mason
#

Nip twist when he gets some spicy meatballs

sick sentinel
uneven mason
#

First pull we had a pile of shit in the center and 5 people die to the first ring trying to catch balls

sick sentinel
#

I kinda killed myself in normal cause i soaked tank mech with overheated then other tank got overheated i taunted soaked the tank mech and went splat

sick sentinel
#

I blame the other tank not doing mechanics

uneven mason
#

So I didn't splat, I just deathstriked the healing debuff off

#

Guessing that probably kills you on heroic though

sick sentinel
#

Indeed it does

#

What killed my pug in attempts was people not baiting properly and people not sucking up the balls

echo egret
#

With Overheated on heroic, I read facing the middle and your back to the lava is recommended to minimize the number of flame sprouting forward ?

sick sentinel
#

Eh, I think its more for mythic, I just spread a little and healers were fine with it

#

Just spread behind and to the side of the boss then stack behind boss after gg

echo egret
#

Let's say that with our current healer team, minimizing the amount of damage going out is needed šŸ™‚

uneven mason
#

#1 advice on tornado, don't move unless you have to

sick sentinel
#

If it's an actual tactic then i see no harm doing that but I have no idea

#

I literally do not read mechs and just go in blind wipe and learn

#

Well i mean i watch a vid

#

But yeah

uneven mason
#

I read the tooltips

#

Mostly

sick sentinel
#

See whats what in normal, read heroic changes and blast pew pew

uneven mason
#

When I'm tanking I just need to know how many stacks will kill me

sick sentinel
#

I didn't know there was stacks of anything

#

Or maybe i do and cant remember

uneven mason
#

Most fights no

sick sentinel
#

DBM is a bit of a cheat code, I got a weakaura that shows stacks, like forgotten experiments for example, DBM did not say to taunt at first so I would focus target the other tank and see the stacks

uneven mason
#

Yeah I turn off dbm "taunt" calls because they tend to be annoying

thin silo
#

My co-tank only listens for DBM to tell him to taunt and it's frustrating watching my stacks continue to tick up if he misses it
Tracking co-tank debuffs should be considered vital

blazing condor
#

some bosses the taunt call is kinda stupid

#

on tindral it will tell you to taunt at like 12 stacks but the debuff actually drops at like 10

sick sentinel
#

I only suggest dbm in pugs, in guild run talk to your tank

#

If you got no mic /w

lusty tiger
#

In like 90% of mythic bosses, tanks could have their own channel

#

In fact on some bosses you’re doing the opposite of what the RL is saying positionally

sick sentinel
#

My old classic guild did that okayge

sick sentinel
#

Retail is too but you know

uneven mason
#

Also 4 tanks in a raid

#

Reminds me of my everquest days, if everything goes well you need 2-3 warriors. If all shit breaks loose the raid better be 50/50 clerics/warriors

sick sentinel
#

Remember when warriors were the pinnacle of melee classes

uneven mason
#

If you mean in eq, fucking monks

sick sentinel
#

Rogues are just edgy warriors who never left the papa roach era

#

Give prot warriors evasion

LS pretty underwhelming tbh

uneven mason

Like bfa it was solid

Because 45s CD and was like 1/3 of our block uptime

uneven mason

Would it though

#

Bloating hp pool

After our Smolderon discussion earlier, I'd like to mention that I got both Overheated and Brand after a few seconds of this pull.

I play Vulpera due to moral obligation

toxic pewter
# teal swift

I remember the pure vitriol and hate Vulpera received when they came out and still receives (due in no part to people like you perpetuating lies about this 'furry' nonsense). Ever since I have made it my duty to stand in solidarity with Vulpera players that just play the race because they are a solid race.

teal swift
#

They are a cute race

#

They are not solid

#

They are hands down, one of the worst races in the game

#

Performance wise

toxic pewter

What's your fursona apb?

teal swift

teal swift
#

Numerically speaking vulpera is giga shit, and needs buffs to be remotely competitive.

opaque quest
toxic pewter
#

Vulpera actually one of the best races for tanking m+ and also some of the best quality of life.

teal swift
#

You do not need nose for trouble

#

It's extra defensive at the cost of a real racial

toxic pewter
#

no

teal swift
#

Because bag of shit, hits like wet noodle

opaque quest
#

Best race for everything is human because transmogg looks the best on them

? bag of tricks is a solid racial, 40 yard instant pull and 60k heal that can crit for 120k

#

Vulpera have solid racials.. saying otherwise is either lying or ignorance

Vulpera is shit.

#

Bag of tricks is the worst racial keks

teal swift
blazing condor
#

bag of tricks you can pull from afar okayge

teal swift
#

I actually like vulpera, but it's pretty fucking dumb to think they have good tuning as a race

uneven mason
#

Why pull from far when you can leap close

#

Ngl their racial on my bdk is poggers

teal swift
#

Night elf exists
Dwarf exists
Tauren exists
Human exists

Vulpera? Tuned incredibly badly. Wasn't this bad in shadowlands because bag of tricks had relatively better damage to global usage.

uneven mason
#

Avoiding that instant death on pull

Everytime I’ve tanked it in heroic I get brand and the small circle

#

In SL keys actually hurt the tank and tanks needed to chain kite

chilly brook
#

It happens

teal swift
#

In DF, idk man, we don't even need a healer

Basically the fight is - if you have overheating, don't eat brand as that's just a unnecessary risk

Tbh just eat it

It’s not that scary

Yeah eat it, fuck the dps clueless

If they can’t dodge…

There’s literal indicators that come out from you

And the circle is so small before that

#

Howdy all. I re-installed WoW and joined some discords but I haven't resubbed yet. My friends were about to resub but they both bailed. The problem is I'm very much on the fence. I've played every tank spec in at least heroic raids and level 15 M+ keys. I tanked mythic raids in legion on prot pally, BFA on prot warrior, and Shadowlands on guardian druid and a little vdh.

My questions are more so about tanking in general in Dragonflight (especially in M+) rather than specifically prot warrior. If I were to start playing again, I'm not sure what tank I'd want to play, but prot is in the running.

  1. How is the M+ pugging scene for tanks? I remember being able to at least get my +15s done in Shadowlands just by pugging, but I've heard that keys can deplete again now? Is that true? Either way, what's it like finding a group and successfully pushing keys on tank?

  2. I heard they got rid of necrotic and made affixes more fun. I haven't looked into this too much, but can y'all share your personal opinions on the M+ affixes? I remember bolstering and the one that made you generate less aggro were really annoying to me as well, are those still a thing?

  3. If I wanted to purely do M+ and maybe pug heroic raids, how much dps/surviability would I lose from the lack of max ilvl mythic raid set pieces? Would it make my ilvl "too trash" to get a solid M+ group or to stop me from pushing ~+20 keys?

Thanks, everyone!

grim pilot
#
  1. If you're a weekly 20 gamer then pugging keys is not that hard as a tank, regardless of class
  2. Bolstering exists, it just doesnt give health anymore as of df s2
  3. If you are good enough, you can do 20's at 440 ilv - so you're more than fine without mythic raid
vestal moat
#

tanks are very powerful this season and you can do 20s without much gear. however you wont get invited to them at low ilvl

warm plinth
#

Deplete is just a word used to mean you didn't time the key. They don't actually deplete Legion-style.
Skittish and Necrotic don't exist. Bolstering does but it no longer increases health, only damage.
You can gear to mythic ilevel without raiding mythic via the great vault, and you can get pretty close with crafted gear (486 where Mythic is 489).

#

To clarify, keys go down 1 level if you fail to time them. But they don't turn gray and force you to run them for no reward to turn it back into a real key like you had to in Legion.

uneven mason
#

Can legitimately be 483ilvl in 1 week running m+

grim pilot
#

jesus was that a thing

warm plinth
#

Yep

grim pilot
#

holy fuck pugging must've been so awful

#

like giga awful

warm plinth
#

Well, the M+ scene was insanely high population in Legion so it wasn't that bad

uneven mason
grim pilot
#

like imagine progging wf keys and then just having to do +2 all over again

and waste 3 fucking hours on upping that key

Thanks for the info, everyone, much appreciated!

uneven mason
#

What we have now is astroglide extreme

warm plinth
#

Yeah Legion M+ was a strange place

#

You also got a chest for each + on the key (which is why people still call it 2 chest/3 chest sometimes)

warm plinth
#

with extra loot

#

No you wouldn't

#

No one wants to run a depleted key lol

#

in that sense

uneven mason
#

Legion m+ was basically dryhumping a cactus

boreal heath
#

Did you have to do it twice?

warm plinth
#

To get any sort of credit for it, yes

boreal heath
#

Like once to reactivate it

#

Then run the key again

warm plinth
#

You have to time it once to reactivate it, then run it again for credit

uneven mason
#

Then again to get loot

grim pilot
#

so wait

#

say I had rlp 25 and I didnt time it

#

then I had grey rlp 25 with no loot

#

so when I timed that

#

what would I get

warm plinth
#

You'd get a not gray 25 RLP

grim pilot
#

so how would I change keys

#

to say, av

warm plinth
#

By timing that one

boreal heath
#

By timing it I'd assume

uneven mason
#

Complete

grim pilot
#

thats

#

weird

#

and so detrimental

#

essentially having to run the same key 3 times

uneven mason
#

Or if you time a higher key you can swap it at the end

warm plinth
#

Eh, it was the maiden voyage of M+

#

We've come a long way since then

blazing condor
# vagrant cape Howdy all. I re-installed WoW and joined some discords but I haven't resubbed ye...
  1. M+ is very fine for tanks right now. Tank balance is in a good spot and you have a lot of control over the key and your own survivability in pugs up until very high keys

  2. Theyve removed most of the affixes that were bad, even seasonal affixes, and focused on fewer affixes that feel punishing. Imo affixes are in an okay spot and generally feel pretty low-impact now. My only disliked affix is sanguine. Bolstering is still a thing but heavily nerfed (no hp gain and doesnt last permanently in combat)

  3. Because of the great vault you can get mythic ilvl tier pieces through only doing m+. You also have the catalyst that makes it so you can convert non-tier items to tier pieces. So its very easy to get full tier set through only m+. With that said the current raid has weapons and trinkets youd want to get. But in general you will have the same ilvl as a mythic raider by doing m+

tldr its pretty fun. Try it out

warm plinth
#

We're talking about in Legion Ikari

#

Not current

uneven mason

I thought when you reactivate it, it would just reroll to a different key

on high keys u had plenty of big pulls

oh it was ass to tank I agree

it was my lowest prot key

The best part of Legion M+ (and BFA to an extent) was how much loot you got from keys though
