Ika weaponized his authism to come up with that

winged slate
#

Like you'd hit people with knaifu, but not her book

opaque quest
#

What youre saying is that we need dual wielding shadow priest

winged slate
#

I'm questioning the efficacy of a book as a blunt weapon

opaque quest
#

Just gotta hit hard enough

winged slate
#

The range is like 0

opaque quest
#

This thing weighs like 2kg

#

Trust me you can kill somebody with a book

winged slate
#

Yeah but what if you just used like a mop handle

#

Isn't that more effective

opaque quest
#

Book doubles as throwing weapon, thus more effective

winged slate
#

With 1 ammunition

#

Better hope you have good aim

opaque quest
#

Gotta make the hit count

pallid quiver
#

I mean, you could always use it to apply rotation to the skull, giving a high likelihood for at least a concussion or some other form of brain damage

i had so many bad games on this thing

#

holy fuck

#

augury is such a turbocringe trinket

plush tendon
#

do note that augury doesnt have prim stat

#

still its super strong!

chrome falcon
#

yeah but

#

why did my co-tanks do literally double mine

#

over the course of the entire kill

#

i got a blue parse 😭

plush tendon
#

procs?

#

more crit?

#

idk

#

you have a log?

jagged pier
#

its luck

#

welcome to proc trinkets

plush tendon
#

yours

#

his

#

we chalk up the difference as a luck thing

urban portal
#

Skill issue yeah

#

Wait I sort of know why

#

His hits are smaller

#

It’s known that small hits work better with augury

#

@chrome falcon

#

There’s some weird interaction with small hits

#

He has 8x more hits but each hit is 1/3rd as big

winged slate
#

I mean, the total damage per proc is capped

plush tendon
#

so this is how the trinket reads; most likley he got procs during roots

winged slate
#

If you get procs at the right times you'll do more dam

#

Especially if you can't use up a proc

strong forum
#

as it says at the top

#

"approx procs per minute"

#

it can high and low roll

#

its the same shit as forgestorm

#

can do 1% or 10% of your dmg

toxic pewter
#

does having more haste make it more consistently good though or am i misunderstanding how it even works

strong forum
#

Yes

#

Same with signet

#

They both scale with haste

#

The more haste you have, the more procs you will get

toxic pewter
#

Ok cool

wind oak
#

i've had fight where signet was fully stacked in 2min30

#

and some where it took 4min or even 5

strong forum
#

Yeah signet is also rppm

#

But it's 3rppm+ haste

#

So, way less variance

#

Issue is just it doesn't do any dmg until 15 stacks

#

Only then it goes turbo

bleak breach
#

Do DKs get more overall damage from those 2 trinks anyway? I tank with one and mine never beat his. Always a few 100k damage behind. Neither have augury, but signer brand and rezans. Is it this just an unlucky coincidence?

strong forum
#

Bdk gets alot more % haste

#

From their cds and just passively

bleak breach
#

Ahh that’s the gap

#

Thanks

toxic pewter
#

they get more haste than us even with ITF?

#

wats the deal with that

strong forum
#

Yes, boneshield alone is 10% haste

#

Then erw is another 20% haste

toxic pewter
#

wtf..

strong forum
#

And dnd also grants them some %haste

#

I think

toxic pewter
#

why are they not considered a high apm spec though (unless they are?)

bleak breach
#

Different

toxic pewter
#

ok

strong forum
#

Cuz all their buttons have cds

bleak breach
#

strong forum
#

They don't have any off gcd buttons

toxic pewter
#

i guess runes dont help either

strong forum
#

We do

toxic pewter
#

runes are not like rage thats for sure

#

or even holy power

strong forum
#

Every single of their buttons is on gcd

bleak breach
#

We passively do 1000x more auto attacks even though the lower haste due to a couple of abilities too

strong forum
#

20-30% of our buttons are off gcd

bleak breach
#

I haven’t played one in a long time, that would make them very robotic to play wouldn’t it?

#

You could predict exactly what and when to press a button

They are yes

#

They don't have any procs

Dunno if they still have dnd procs

#

@strong forum in the case of Fervid Bite proc on you is active - but there's no Rend on the target, and both SS & TC are not on cooldown:
1- Do you send SS, then clap while fishing for a 2nd fervid proc
2- Do you clap first then SS

strong forum
#

Send SS

sharp mountain
#

figured. thank you sir

strong forum
warm plinth
#

God if we had to micromanage that

strong forum
#

That's why I track rend on target

#

Via glow on tc

warm plinth
#

Which tbh that would be so rare anyway because you reset tc at the same time

strong forum
#

Yeah

#

That's the thought process

tribal wharf
#

thunder claps cd is so tiny that you never have to use rend ever

#

basically no cd during avatar

sharp mountain
#

right but the reason I asked is because when you send that SS, then clap, sometimes SS doesnt reset quickly enough and I'm just watching my Fervid proc chilling waiting while those multiple seconds feel like an eternity in misery

strong forum
#

That's what you Bank rage for

#

And send revenge

#

To reset SS, instead of sending an IP

plush tendon
#

cause of the buffs we get for standing in it

#

dont know what the exact amount we actually get/consume a crimson scourge proc, but it might be once per minute

viral arch
#

big badge of shame

#

like, it is technically a proc but with death's echo, the rotational pressure to just have D&D uptime and the fact that CS cannot proc while D&D is on the floor, you're basically getting at most a CS proc every 40s

#

great spec design, covered in the upcoming retro article because it's fucking dumb at this point. Imagine the world where you don't even put D&D down to damage shit, the D&D is for you

I leap max range and I never manage to get away from it

blazing condor

that just means youre too slow

you cant really jump reactively

you gotta know when he's about to cast it and be ready to jump

in p1 he casts it after summoning ads so for the first few you can start running when he spawns the portals, cus he'll be stationary

Am I supposed to be dodging it through z axis or just literally running that far

blazing condor

you can probably just watch a video of a pwarr doing it on youtube

all i do is check the timer to see when he's about to cast

turn my camera

It's not actually 100 yards directly away, by the way. It's roughly just a bit more than a max leap, so something a bit larger than 40 yds directly away

@lusty grotto how much did you pay for axe total?

like 200k

probably less than

im selling off my excess so cant accurately say

but it should be around that

i know some dumb leather was super expensive that i recall

blazing condor

yup

#

my axe cost me 170k last week so i assume its somewhere along those lines

but i didnt pay my crafters much

id say closer to 170k to be hoenst

Howwwww do I get a shield/1h that’s to my level ilvl and start tanking as a prot warr? Craft? Or find something lower level and switch my loot spec and just, wait (farm lower + keys)? Lol

pallid quiver
#

Are you already eatablished as a DPS War do you mean or is this like a new char kinda deal?

median tulip
#

Or pug mythic gnarlroot and hope

pallid quiver
#

If the new char kind, easiest would be to just quick farm out crests or buy cheap boes and just start slapping M+; it's possible to do 20s in 44x gear if you're skilled enough, though you only need to go up to 16s to farm crests to craft highest level crafting gear

#

If already established, just hit things that give 1H/Shield with prot loot spec on while being DPS and tell the nerds you're running with to get bent if you win

#

Is there any trick to tank the tree Boss in DHT, I am using defensive stance, rageheart and other defensives on each tank damage, I ran out of CDs and I got oneshot eventually ( i have 31%) versa

warm plinth
#

31% vers what the fuck

#

also, leap away for breath, use defensives on grip

iron elbow
#

I was tanking the breath

#

I guess that would have helped

#

31% vers is low or too high?

#

my stats are 40% haste, 28% crit, 25% mastery and 31% vers

warm plinth
#

40% with what

iron elbow
#

Flat, 48% with the talent buff

#

and rune

warm plinth
#

if you have 40% without ItF, then you'd have 54% with ItF

#

anyway, 31% vers is insanely high, regardless

tribal wharf
#

like, i think thats the way the game is designed for him to win, used all your resets but now entire playfield is littered

frozen lava
#

yall got any prefered wago/wa addons you prefer for keeping track of IP/SB

supple oasis
#

I’m not crazy but IP should have a significantly high up time in content that you’re not blowing through with little chance or death correct? Just ran a key with a warrior tank and uh, it was interesting.

jagged gust
#

IP I don't track, never saw a need for it

#

I think I just stole the SB tracker from Nomer's WA package, works well enough

pallid quiver
#

It'll generally pretty high, though, considering how much rage we need to dump

violet flume
#

idk but i had 89% uptime on ignore pain in waycrest +21 yesterday apparantly

#

never tracked it before

#

close to 100% shieldblock uptime is where its at tho

warm plinth
violet flume
#

dont think ive healed a single prot wrrior with shieldblock uptime above 70%

bleak breach
#

Vers will be slightly better defensively while crit will be slightly better offensively. There’s next to no difference, stats sound good.

#

Aslong as that haste is before itf

plush tendon
#

for prot war, take the CD reduction for leap; leap is your defensive for each breath (no damage taken big win!)

#

for grips be in DStance and use Spell Reflect for each one

#

on top of DStance and Spell Reflect, Rotate SW, Last Stand, and Demo

#

no amount of vers, crit, mastery or whatever is going to be the difference maker on doing this boss (or any for that matter)

pallid quiver
#

Just get like 300% vers, ezpz

plush tendon
#

and have some rage for IP for grips

pallid quiver
#

At any rate, the above

#

If you happen to have rageheart, that's also free help, as well

plush tendon
#

yea, can combine rageheart with last stand

#

or demo

#

whichever you feel is weaker between shieldwall casts

pallid quiver
#

The biggest piece is definitely to leap his breath every time; it really chills out the amount of defensives you need to rock

plush tendon
#

avoiding breath damage is massive

#

cant understate that

pallid quiver
#

On top of that, remember to not panic and keep pressing buttons while gripped

#

You can still funnel rage into your abilities, causing Indomitable to kick in and help heal, too

plush tendon
#

but basically, DStance+Spell Reflect is 40% DR on top of any other big cd you put on it

ionic fern
#

And go into it with full IP and Rage.

plush tendon
#

for any hard dungeon fight this tier, have this same approach; just map out the periods you need big CDs and plan ahead

#

You can also impending victory during every grip

tight sedge
#

I don't know if anyone else has the same issue with Oakheart or if it's just something wrong with my UI but when I get gripped my own party frame dissappears and I am replaced with Oakheart, I've taken to setting myself as focus during that fight so that I can see my rage & health bar. Aside from that I deal with it as everyone else here has mentioned. Leap the breath, def stance and spell reflect each time the grip comes in and one big cd. Worth communicating with your healer so you don't overlap the big buttons.

ionic fern
#

I know my WA's dissapear whenever he grabs me.

#

Haven't paid attention to frames.

tight sedge
#

I like to be able to see when best to hit impending victory!

ionic fern
#

Oh, my HP bar doesn't dissapear.

#

Any tips on how to survive Larodar's tankbuster charge? Going to tank mythic for our guild today and on yesterdays practice HC i got clapped hard and my CD trinket even procced.

chilly brook
#

Can also SR

#

Damage is based on distance traveled or rather lack of distance traveled

#

So leap out every tank buster

tardy lily
#

Just DS+SR is enough? :O I mean i always get GFTO but it still hits like a truck, plus walking into the fire is oof

chilly brook
#

Yeah it’s enough

#

At least it is on heroic, the boss didn’t slap me that hard tbh

tardy lily
#

leap out, charge back in then i guess?

chilly brook
#

Yeah

#

If you have rage to spend on IP it’s really not that bad being in the fire

tardy lily
#

since I got clapped pretty hard it must be the distance because i usually walked out and leaped back, since charge distance was too far. I am ilvl 486, but we had pretty low geared healers and only 2 of them on that run with 15 peepos... could be the scaling that was fucking me there, plus standing too long in the fire and missing IP

#

(first time "properly" raid tanking this season - i usually tanked in previous seasons, but since i was put to DPS since mythic prog of aberrus, I have not had the change to brush up on tanking skills, so I am a bit afraid)

#

I also guess P2 tankbuster is the time when we want to use SW since it hits also very hard and is pure magic dmg?

I know people like this who play this game; they once tried to get everyone they knew, including me, to start whispering and harassing the guy, calling him less than polite things and that he's too stupid to know he doesn't need that piece of gear in an attempt to get the piece.

though worst of all was the fact he wanted it for free because he deserved it

Even worse to me was the harassment starter was being carried through that run.

No utility is such an insane excuse to me

Like, vdh has too much utility is the issue. Nothing to do with the amount we have or don't have.

uneven mason
#

Other tanks have too much but they won't give warriors anything

warm plinth
#

Tank utility has never been the deciding factor in what tank is run unless that utility has been brokenly strong. E.g. sigils right now or consumption on bdk in legion.

toxic gyro

Dh shouldn’t have 2 charges of sigils

plush tendon
uneven mason

Isn't one also CDR by that evokers buff?

lusty tiger

Or… they just let all the tanks have tools like 2 silence sigils/divine toll

plush tendon

nerfs bad, buffs good

toxic gyro

I mean we spec 2 points to have half of a sigil

lusty tiger

I don't want them to neuter vdh because frankly vdh has been shit its entire existence

warm plinth

But obviously they went too far

jagged pier
#

I will agree

tall marsh
#

I agree. VDH this tier is really fun. they really need to make other tanks as fun.

toxic gyro
#

Considering they have aoe stun too, they should not have 2 charges of sigils, especially that they have cdr on them

plush tendon
#

id rather they not nerf the double sigil from VDH and instead look at other tanks and think 'hmmm, what would be totally bonkers for these guys thats cool and unique?'

lusty tiger
#

I think if they are going to nerf tank damage as much as it is now, they should all have vdh levels of utility

jagged pier
#

Yes and no, bliz did always want vdh to be more a m+ tank than raiding ever since it was in the game, but it strong in both atm which means it doesnt have a niche

toxic gyro

Making other specs just as broken is not a solution. The stronger you make specs baseline, the more ridiculous mechanics have to be to make things challenging.

There's plenty of different types of tanks in those games, and not all of them even have CC

You can't be as tanky as everyone else with double their cc and think that's reasonable

Nerfing things is a shortcut

I always forget about sac and bop because most palas dont have them on bars kekW

Doesnt matter if ret or prot

plush tendon

which is very different from VDH util which is mob control

#

VDH cant heal a group, dispell a group, or give a external like a Prot Pal can

consequently Prot Pal, although has control, no where near as much as VDH (though silence sigil doesnt work on non stunable mobs)

opaque quest

Look at the fat walrus tho

so that three caster pack in EB before 3rd boss... Prot Pal is gucci and VDH is just another tank

opaque quest

Sustained lockdown from pala is pretty good

Prot Pal and VDH should be considered the standard imo of how modern tanks should be

silence sigils functions like interrupt
