Make Intervene worth using as an external

Bring back Conqueror's Banner

Make Anger Management affect Last Stand and Ravager again

I actually don't hate the idea of getting (Safeguard?) back as a couple minute CD external

#

Could be neat

#

and/or a raidwide "Stand behind me" type of thing

Safeguard was fun.
Although it killed me a lot :D
I'd prefer safeguard rather than vigilance tbh

(although both are nice)

#

It's one of those keys where people doing bad DPS can literally wipe the group.

#

Which is fun.

Damn dogs

I have 4/8 27, but tott 24, and i'm still scared

#

Yeah, the first and second corridor pull can be depleted just because not enough DPS.
Hilarious.

#

The ravagers alone can wipe a bad pug, when they don’t spread or use defensives

#

And well, « I wanna do big aoe dmg for meters, let’s ignore cc and kicks » seems to be the trend even at 3100 and above

torn rover
#

hows prot doing in pve?

ionic fern
#

Je, but that's normal.
I'm more pointing to the fact, that even if they do CC/Kicks, that pack on higher keys is still a time-bomb of the tank/healer not running out of CD's before stuff dies. 😂

#

having the plants in everbloom trigger on death affixes is just not good

#

and some stuff in throne is not in line with what it should be

ionic fern
#

Je, EB is a nightmare with specific affixes due to the tight timer and need to do big pulls.

echo egret
#

Rise, Everbloom, and even Throne, could use a more generous timer

#

I found that if you accidentally pull a pack of worms after Battle in Rise, the key is over.

hearty stump
#

At what point in m+ do you generally stand entirely in Dstance?

#

+22s and up? +25s? Or is it mostly pack by pack once you know what hits?

ionic fern
hearty stump
#

And not bstance

ionic fern
wintry nymph
#

and im not even good at the spec, which means that if you properly know how to play it it would be even easier i guess

#

so i'd say yes

#

haha

#

if you are getting slapped in packs you are probably either not having shieldblock up, or getting hit in the back

#

cuz as long as you have SB up, you shouldn't get fucked up in most packs

What do tanks do if they get heartstopper on mythic igira?

jagged pier
#

i mean theres not much u can do

onyx musk
#

Do they stay in and soak or go out like the rest?

jagged pier
#

because u need to stay top of the other tank for the melees

#

so u cant move far

onyx musk
#

Ah

jagged pier
#

u shouldnt get it anyway

#

u only get it if ppl are dead

#

which

#

shouldnt happen

onyx musk
#

Peoeple are dying :c

jagged pier
#

then tell them to stop 🤷

#

u shouldnt be dying on igira

onyx musk
#

Well we shouldn't but we are lol.

jagged pier
#

right so fix that issue, not try and figure out how the tanks can deal with a mechanic they are supposed to get

#

Do you fellas just remember which spells can be reflected or is there any helping tool for it?

jagged pier
#

u rember really

blazing condor
#

oh yeah sorry i thought you were asking for a resource

#

yeah i just remember

jagged pier
#

WAs dont work

#

and / or are bad

blazing condor
#

just look through the spreadsheet first times doing the dgs

#

then just remember

#

usually you know most targeted "bolts" will be reflectable - and if there's any non-intuitive spells you kinda learn that too just because theyre non-intuitive

pallid quiver
#

also you can just press spell reflect when there's gonna be magic damage coming at you

#

if you reflect it, you reflect it

#

if you don't you take less damage

#

It's on a 20s cd, it's not a very big commitment.

#

so that leaves you with only having to remember extremely notable reflects or awkward situations, like not wanting to reflect specific spells so you can reflect the follow up cast

pulsar path
#

Just don't wanna waste it on soothing trivial and miss some large nuke later, like pyro in eb

#

I'll just keep the doc open xD

pallid quiver
#

a lot of those won't even aim at you

#

If you're holding it off to save it for some big whole super cast or whatever, you're losing value

blazing condor
#

for some bosses you can reflect two (or more) things

#

so thats where its good to know which one is prio

pallid quiver
#

Hell, there's more things that you can't reflect at all that are scary than things you can reflect

tribal wharf
#

etch destroyed my runs last night

#

groups got fucking nuked by that shit

#

wasnt traumatic as i've run that place a billion times, but it was kind of scary

Remember that EU realms play with russians and french

They are like US Ragnaros

#

Except 50 realms like that not 1 or 2

blazing condor

now we have 3 pwarrs who've downed fyrakk

russians, french and spanish players are either really good or really bad no inbetween

but the most annoying ppl to play with is brits

idk all the language-realms are just red flags

#

same with allt the germans

#

blackrock / blackrook all that stuff

#

just play normal servers

opaque quest
#

Ye defo. Ragnaros is a bad candidate too. I just take ppl from kazzak mostly. They are toxic but really good

#

Blackmoore is the worst DE realm

jagged pier
#

rag, sangiuno, i dont take from

tribal wharf
#

you know, i never really pay attention to names or servers a whole lot

#

its just, oh, some guy joined

blazing condor
#

kazzak is also red flag

opaque quest
blazing condor
#

just play normal servers like tarren mill where everyone is swedish

tribal wharf
#

what about area 52

blazing condor
#

thats some NA burger stuff

opaque quest
#

Sanguino is like Pozzo. No go

tribal wharf
#

i hear theres some clown protection warrior guy from that server

#

blazing condor
#

did a key with that dude and he kept dying

#

never inviting a pwarr again

opaque quest
#

@tribal wharf doesnt matter to me. I only do higher key keks

blazing condor

#

Its only 1000 players. Its more anekdotal than reeeaaalll evidence

blazing condor
#

whats hall of shame

#

where no guild has CE?

#

but that doesnt make sense

opaque quest
#

Na. Bad players sorted by realm

#

Toxic or bad players

tribal wharf
#

im probably on that list

opaque quest
#

Yogi is the only player named keks

#

Worst realms are: and special mention goes to: Yogi

tribal wharf
#

i wont be surprised if im on there

#

Youre doing 17s and 18s iirc. You cant be that bad

My wife is the type of chick to deplete 11

As a BM

blazing condor

who even updates that list

#

🤓 dear graph: today i played with a subpar pwarr on the server area 52 - he only had 66 cpm instead of the suggested 70+ and also pulled G13 solo instead of chaining it with G12

opaque quest
#

Just took my sample for marrow donation. Im a good person arent i

i wonder what people are thinking when they create their talent trees

jagged pier

i see on meter

The answer is nothing

jagged pier
#

i keep

blazing condor
#

also m+ is hella dead

#

no one doing keys anymore

jagged pier
#

its no push week

#

and its 11 weeks into the season

#

of course

blazing condor
#

i mean yeah i know but still

jagged pier
#

only like 2-3 more months of nothing

blazing condor
#

thought ppl were addicted to this game

tribal wharf
#

sanguine is the worst thing ever

jagged pier
#

very much less so nowadays

#

u can blame SLs for making ppl turn away

tribal wharf
#

thats part of why i dont want to run anything besides what i already know

blazing condor
#

its a mix of game dying but also gaming in general being bigger

#

so ppl go to other games

#

its kinda like how everyone listened to the beatles back in the day cus you didnt really have that much else

tribal wharf
#

ya well game been dying since 2004

#

so lik, whatever

#

and even if it really do do the big RIP, like, it had 20 + years at this point

jagged pier
#

what?

#

the Beatles are great

tribal wharf
#

some mmos never even launch

blazing condor
#

yeah they are great

#

dont get me wrong

tribal wharf
#

some last a week or a month

jagged pier
#

dont fucking say cause there was nothing else there was loads at the time

tribal wharf
#

and then ah were out of money GG

blazing condor
#

chill i aint shitting on the beatles

#

but in terms of availability there really wasn't super much going on at the time on a macro level

#

especially for the type of pop music the beatles pioneered

#

if the beatles were to become a thing today they would never have the same fame

#

its one of those "groundbreaking right place right time" things

#

but im not taking anything away from their ability or talent

tribal wharf
#

i think wow is gunna be safe for quite some years still

blazing condor
#

theres always gonna be 40 year old parents who are subbed

#

problem with the game is that not that many new/young people start playing it

tribal wharf
#

probably 10 years before they shut it all down i'd wager if they were going to

jagged pier
#

i mean young ppl tend to not play it, unless their parents play it

#

18 years + mainly cause they got the money to play

#

plus young ppl tend to play whats 'fashionable' not good

#

not that wow is good

blazing condor
#

there's still about a million people playing fortnite at any given moment

tribal wharf
#

i like how asmongold was freaking the fuck out about some wod AOTC mount thats just a fairly basic wolf mount

#

that was funny

jagged pier
tribal wharf
#

woke up to see that video "no mounts ever" selected in the twitter lmfao lolololololLOLOLl who gives a fuck

jagged pier
#

because it marketed towards them

blazing condor
#

and me

tribal wharf
#

is a mount from what 10 years ago

#

and ppl fuckin mad

#

who gives a shit?

blazing condor
#

almost like drama farming is his whole thing nowdays

jagged pier
#

the AOTC mount isnt a basic wolf its a long shot from it

blazing condor
#

no one who goes outside gives a shit

tribal wharf
#

i didnt give it much attention, watched like, 3 minutes of that video, the mount does look fairly good ill say

#

but its not like, special

jagged pier
#

am i bothered yes and no. do i like unobtainable things 'yes'

#

is that fair? no

tribal wharf
#

i dont understand why he would be actual big mad about it

#

or like majority of ppl really

jagged pier
#

because

#

its something that took a fair bit of effort back in the day

blazing condor
#

he needs to put out reaciton videos

jagged pier
#

and now its just a log in reward

#

which dimminishes the effort he put in to get it.

#

as i said i understand both view points

tribal wharf
#

i dunnno seems like hes stoking flames of very small very dim embers

jagged pier
#

but also a lot of the players with that mount dont play anymore

#

and ppl like having rare stuff

#

so

#

🤷

blazing condor
#

i haven't been keeping up they datamined an aotc mount?

#

meaning they gonna bring it back for the time traveling stuff or what?

tribal wharf
#

trying to start a wild fire but only blowing a little smoke cuz is like ember to me

jagged pier
blazing condor
#

aren't they gonna do the whole MoP timewalking stuff?

#

maybe we revisit SoO

jagged pier
#

that is coming too i believe

#

there was a buff datamined

blazing condor
#

but yeah probably trading post

jagged pier
#

so it might be for that

#

but looks like trading post

#

so who knows

blazing condor
#

im not a fan of unobtainable things becoming available again tbh

jagged pier
#

🤷

#

like i said i like unobtainable things

#

but also i want to be able to get my CM armour, and WoD elite pvp set

#

somehow

tribal wharf
#

i dunno that just sounds like "i have it and you don't" to me

jagged pier
#

but i dont want ppl to be able to get the CM weps

tribal wharf
#

well, okay, thats nice, good

jagged pier
#

im literally a hypocrite but do i care about a mount u wont use because it doesnt fly

#

no

#

no i dont

blazing condor
#

you snooze you lose

#

shouldve played all day every day since you were 8

tribal wharf
#

not even give a crap i dont have it, would be nice, im not upset

jagged pier
tribal wharf
#

to my knowledge there is no person that has full 100%'d the game from 2004 till now

blazing condor
tribal wharf
#

has all the mounts all the achievements all the transmogs for every armor type, all the titles

#

i dont think there is a single person in the world

jagged pier
#

was i pissed at the time? no. am i now im good enough, and things like FF can scale u down to that time and stuff so u can still get the rewards

#

yes im pissed

dusky canopy
#

I want the CM weapons

#

I was big noob back then

#

Didn’t do any

tribal wharf
#

wtf cm weapon

#

dunno what is

dusky canopy
#

Challenge mode

blazing condor
#

big pointy thing that deals damage

jagged pier
#

at one point

tribal wharf
#

oh ya, i sort of know what that is challenge mode

blazing condor
#

challenge mode is just prototype m+

#

you had a timer to do a dungeon

tribal wharf
#

ya

blazing condor
#

you could get bronze/silver/gold

#

etc etc

jagged pier
#

i mean it was easier than cms u could do them in like 2 mins

tribal wharf
#

was around when it was out but at that time it was literal for 0.001% player base

blazing condor
#

no

#

i was 12 and did 3 golds

#

first try

#

and i had no idea what i was doing

tribal wharf
#

ya well also your 12 then lol, can beat any game with your 12

blazing condor
#

wat

#

fuck it lets just make esports all 12-year olds

#

cus theyre genetically superior

jagged pier
#

i mean

#

its trending that way

blazing condor
#

there's obviously things that help when youre younger

#

reaction time and stuff like that

#

but i dont think that really translates to wow

#

fortnite? sure

#

but wow isnt a mechanical game

tribal wharf
#

i mean, reaction time improvement helps pretty much all games

dusky canopy
#

12 year old me was damn good at call of duty

blazing condor
#

same honestly

dusky canopy
#

Surely not just nostalgia

blazing condor
#

well good to know i was 0.001% of the population in MoP then

jagged pier

i mean look at tobu hes like 12 and plays for echo, hes not actually 12 but he does some insane plays due to reaction time

I want halo to make a come back some how

i still think there should be a movie like experience single player game, and then the multiplayer

#

Best part of my child hood was halo 3/MW2 era

tribal wharf
#

in cod

jagged pier
#

it did when infinite was released for free multiplayer

#

then it died

tribal wharf
#

cuz the single player lets you learn the controls, learn how shit works, for once you are finished it and ready to go to multiplayer

#

thats how i do cod

blazing condor
#

RL is the underrated game though

they just don't bother i guess

they could if they really wanted

Ah yes, if you have any criticisms of a game you should stop playing it

#

The mind of a scholar

pliant trout
#

no you can ofc, i do myself.

#

but the game will never be "what you want"

uneven mason
#

Also could be a my innate anger over anytime someone involves cod and the fact the original creators of the IP basically got robbed and cut out of the share they were owed on a franchise that has earned 10s of billions

like 95% of complainers in a nutshell

uneven mason
#

Being concerned about the possibility of lost content due to more being moved to the shop != Not enjoying the game

pliant trout
#

the only "unfair" thing would be if you could purchase items above current ilvl cap like 490+ or something similar what gives advantage which you can't compensate. all cosmetic stuff is not relevant. and they are far from that afaik.

crystal iris
#

Is this right? You don't SS until after all this?

uneven mason
#

I like my cosmetics, transmog is why we play

urban portal
#

this is just to grab aggro of all the mobs

pliant trout
#

we == you, you mean >u>

plush tendon
restive scroll
#

Also this is just a guideline, find your own rythm too!:

uneven mason
#

Since charge avatar and SB are all off GCD

crystal iris
#

I think i have a tendance to hit SS either as my first GCD or straight away after roar

uneven mason
#

Yeah

crystal iris
#

just to get it or TC on Cooldown

uneven mason
#

Me too

#

It's fine

crystal iris
#

but also I've been tossing ravager, charging in avatar all that good stuff, but TC revenge and Shield charge until everything is roughly grouped before hitting Roar

winged slate
#

Revenge more like I rarely press that button

crystal iris
#

ya but I like to think I hit it for deep wounds? worth it?

uneven mason
#

Yeah tbh revenge is just to apply dw in ae

crystal iris
#

like just at the start

pliant trout
#

about the spell casts totally depends on what kind of pulls you make. in eb it's for sure not the case, cause you chrage/leap first gather them and then blast

crystal iris
#

its taking me a while to get used to since theres so much to do at the start of a pull

#

regular rotation is chill, but at the start im playing piano hitting everything at once

#

especially if im reflecting / spell blocking

pliant trout
#

yea dogshit game design i agree UuU

#

too many buttons

winged slate
#

TC applies deep wounds, no

pliant trout
#

rend no?

winged slate
#

Revenge is filler button when TC and SS are on CD

crystal iris
#

ya only rend

pliant trout
#

deep wounds are from attacks/revenge?

urban portal
#

yes

#

so hypothetically you need to press both constantly

#

due to fervid bite

crystal iris
#

are DW even worth the damage?

urban portal
#

yes

pliant trout
#

revenge is also a tool to setup the violent outburst

#

cause it costs only 20 rage

#

and after you SS

#

o/

crystal iris
#

ya im not that far advanced haha

#

i fill up the stacks then hit SS im not min maxing how I get to the last stack

pliant trout
#

the reason - revenge can reset SS so you have it asap to use violent outburst

thorny stone
crystal iris
#

Oh I see

pliant trout
#

so it's anyway rng based

crystal iris
#

IP resets too though right?

pliant trout
#

no i guess

crystal iris
#

And im pressing that like twice per second anyway

uneven mason
pliant trout
#

TC revenge and execute

#

and just attacks

#

but you don't influence them

#

only with haste

#

execute is niche idk just a dead button honesly

#

2005 design kekwq

pallid quiver
#

mods, crush his skull, he's talking heresy

uneven mason
#

If only we had modern arms gameplay

winged slate
#

Damn, I gotta play arms

uneven mason
pliant trout
#

prot warr gameplay is good, ideally there should be like SS/Clap/Revenge (w/e to deal damage with rage) thats it

#

and yea roar as "ultimate"

#

1 spell or spear doesnt matter

#

4 buttons for damage

#

max

crystal iris
#

Need to figure out rage generation

#

And spending

pliant trout
#

it's situational

uneven mason
#

Replace revenge with execute, have TC cleave our st abilities

pliant trout
#

in big pulls it generates like crazy

crystal iris
#

Spending rage should actually be impactful, not just dumping it into an already full IP

pliant trout
#

in small pulls you wait

crystal iris
uneven mason
#

But if you mean that ole "offensive vs defensive spend" we beat that horse to death and glue back in BFA

crystal iris
#

At least if we were spending it on an impactful damage dealing ability the feedback loop would make more sense

pliant trout
#

routine

#

i mean "wow players like that"

crystal iris
#

It feels so stupid in big pulls with everything up I can barely hit IP fast enough

#

You're thinking about IP too much

Think about it this way, if they didn’t cap us, we would never die

uneven mason

Just focus on the fervid and big SS slap

uneven mason

#

Starting to think I just don’t enjoy the class lol

uneven mason
#

That's possible, if you're fixating on IP at all prot would feel miserable

pliant trout
#

yes play vdh

#

everyone will invite you and stuff

#

and you are mobile

crystal iris
#

It feels way better than SL but idk

uneven mason
#

It's legit a button which buffs our other buttons

crystal iris
uneven mason
#

My name was "IP is an offensive spend" for like a month

crystal iris
#

I don’t chase meta just play what I enjoy

uneven mason
#

After being war vdh going to feel spongy

pliant trout
#

you just IP to not cap on rage thats it, or you need extra surviveability

uneven mason
#

Skull caved in every swing

crystal iris
#

Plus seems to be a tank shortage in pugs. Half the reason I play prot is because I get insta invited even with shit gear

#

After getting declined for 20 minutes as fury

uneven mason
#

I always feel like there's a healer shortage

crystal iris
#

Also ya

pliant trout
#

yea heal is the hardest role

crystal iris
#

Like if your sitting in LFG with 3 dps good luck

pliant trout
#

unless you run full warr comp >u>

#

but without a joke full retr comp blasts

#

prot/retrs

#

just imba

#

everyone is a healer and tanky

#

and decent damage

uneven mason
#

5 prot paladins, silences, silences everywhere

crystal iris
#

I much rather play fury that ret, but I also rather play prot pal than prot warr so it’s annoying to need 2 toons

crystal iris
pliant trout
#

you just maximize damage

#

and you can do like 25s

uneven mason
#

Tbh warriors were doing so poorly in raid I almost swapped since I wasn't tanking this tier

pliant trout
#

easy

#

or even more i guess will be just timer gated

uneven mason
#

To hunter, not ret

#

Fuck paladins

crystal iris
#

Ya fk ret

pliant trout
#

retrs are the best

crystal iris
#

No one ever played ret until now

pliant trout
#

o.O

#

what do you mean now?

#

this buff?

#

a lot people played

#

and it was always good

crystal iris
#

No like this expac

pliant trout
#

i mean 10.2

uneven mason
crystal iris
#

Barely saw them in pugs

pliant trout
#

yes awful game design/balance i agree

uneven mason
#

Was still played by a shit load of people, just not in high end content

pliant trout
#

all classes should be relevant

crystal iris
#

But people play fury even if we have lacking utility and if we aren’t meta

uneven mason
#

Yeah because it feels fun as long as you avoid logs

pliant trout
#

yes warr damage is dogshit thats the most funny part

#

maybe in raid it's ok

#

or at top 0.01%

uneven mason
#

It's a rough sell for sure

#

I'm basically maintaining a raid spot by having battle shout and not being shit at mechanics

#

Arms is baller in m+

#

Like m+ you can crush some pulls

#

But raid it's dead last

pliant trout
#

i mean whats the clowniest class/spec to maintain good damage? feral?

uneven mason
#

Probably

#

Arcane?

pliant trout
#

i mean you press like 6 buttons pay attention to 5 shit buffs etc

uneven mason
#

Afflock

pliant trout
#

0 idea thats the worst classes

#

the best are where you press a button and the damage flows

#

ease of execution > all

uneven mason
#

Havoc

pliant trout
#

exactly

#

thats just fundamental stuff

#

all clown classes should deal like 20-30% more damage

#

i mean hard to execute but you get the reward

uneven mason
#

"fuck mechanics, I'm going to cut half the raid in half because I've got the soak and got a felrush proc"

pliant trout
#

and most wont be able to do so well

#

dhs are the best <3

uneven mason
#

Can you do trigonometry in your head, great, you're 39% of the raids DPS, what you can't micromanage 4 debuffs and maintain snapshots for 5 minutes, dead last

crystal iris
crystal iris
pliant trout
#

arms is decent now but survivability isn't that good afaik maybe i am wrong ask in the arms section idk

uneven mason
#

You're not wrong, survival is it's biggest gripe

#

People run fury during prog because it has good self sustain vs none

blazing condor
#

i switched over to arms

#

usually top every dps meter in dungeons

tribal wharf
#

oh no

final mist
uneven mason
#

Yeah it sucks

crystal iris
#

how do I make this into mouseover as well

#

like if theres a focus, kick focus, if theres a mouseover, kick mouseover, if not kick target

devout basalt
#

#showtooltip
/Cast [@mouseover, harm, exists][@focus] Pummel

#

maybe

crystal iris
#

i dont think that will do it if you dont have a focus or mouseover

#

i think ill have to drop the focus part and just do mouseover and target. I pug a lot so its not like I have an assigned kick

tacit haven
#

any tips on how to deal with all the casters in Everbloom and DHT? they're eating basically a full IP bar per cast going through
Just pull less?

median tulip
#

Note that in this case if there's both a valid focus and a valid mouseover target, it'll Pummel the focus.

#

You don't need the @target part; an empty clause always evaluates on current target

grizzled nova
#

Mouseover kick is almost always a bad idea

dusky canopy
#

I also prefer to manually target my kick

#

Last thing you want to do is burn kick on wrong mob

grizzled nova
#

For every situation it might be useful, you're gonna burn a dozen kicks on unintended targets

grand veldt
#

If there was a way to not accidentally highlight wrong mobs from their actual models being highlighted, then maybe plates and mousever would be better

#

But it's unbelievably east to burn kicks

tribal wharf
#

i dunno why but im not blocking large amount of hits like i should be now

#

maybe its just sanguine, maybe its the key, but im not blocking nearly enough melees

crystal iris
#

focus is annoying when someone kicks my focus and another target starts casting

#

it works amazing in single caster packs

blazing condor
#

Answer is probably getting hit in the back

Naturalists are the real dangerous ones for you with their Dancing Thorns casts. Especially when you get high stacks of the flowers debuff (+dmg taken).
You can ask for a blessing of freedom, or use Avatar, to get rid of that debuff since it’s a slow as well.
You should tell your group Naturalists are immediate priority : they kill / kick one and you control another. Avoid pulling more than two together.
Spell reflect and Spell block are your friends there.

ionic fern
#

Be sure to tank the flowers ontop of them and if possible, mark one of them with Skull.
Kick and rotate SR/SW/Spell Block as needed on them. That's about all you can do.

echo egret
#

For the very first big pull, charge the 1st naturalist, TC, spell reflect, leap to the other pack, kick the naturalist, then charge back the previous mobs. It's the most efficient way to group everything without having a lone caster blasting you from the entrance.

ionic fern
#

Or..ideally CC/skip the first naturalist if possible.

#

Grouping that is annoying if your group forgets about the caster.

violet ginkgo
#

Also I'll add just pop the spell block too, I mean it's not like you gonna use it for bossfight?

Hey, I'm new for prot in 10.2.5

If I want to craft something with dream gear... Which stats do I make on the gear? Especially the stat stacks?

#

Haste and Crit? Or Haste and Versa?

warm plinth

Haste crit in general. Sim for damage

#

Other than shield/1H would I be missing any potential tank items by opening the vault as arms?

#

And Scales, which I already have Myth of

blazing condor
#

nah

#

unless you want rageheart

#

which is honestly a pretty good trinket

jagged pier
#

better than scales

blazing condor
#

so if youre going for a tank trinket go for rageheart - but arguably its easier to get that one from hc fyrakk than augury

#

so you can open for augury and kill for rageheart

Thanks!

for fort you usually take the first two packs on the left towards priestess with lust

#

then you either go to rezan after, or go kill priestess > rezan > volkal > yazma

warm plinth
#

I go left at the start or to rezan first depending on fort/tyr (rezan isn't hard but still better value to lust a boss on tyr week imo). I do the 6 mobs on the left side at the start, then go across and kill first pack with patrolling shield dudes, then skip to last pack along the ledge. Then pretty normal volkaal across to priestess including middle pack

#

Probably not the best route for lust timing but idc because priestess first route makes me want to kill myself

blazing condor
#

i personally dont like going right side on fort

#

to volkal

#

the left side packs are easier if you got good group coordination

with ccs

and someone who knows how to bait

otherwise its gonna be annoying
