believe :3!!!

tribal wharf
#

nah im pised now

lean flower
#

if it makes you feel better the last 10 days I’ve failed 7 29 atals

tribal wharf
#

now i remember precisely why i hated this dungeon back in bfa

lean flower
#

70% of them on last boss bahahaha

tribal wharf
#

i wasn't wrong

#

it sitll happens precisely the way ir emember so im never doing it again after i time it on 20

lean flower
#

Well it’s even worse now since we can’t kick wracking pain hahahaha

#

BUT that can be a little fun to save the day for us prot warriors when every one dies and you solo the rest

#

seent!

#

HAHAHHAHA

#

perhaps try again a decent fort week?

covert flower
#

Atal is nice

opal forum
#

i love atal

#

i dont do 29 tho

covert flower
#

On Tyrannical weeks you just smash through the dungeon and bosses are fine and on fort weeks you play left side trash smart and laugh at the bosses

tribal wharf
#

im not gunna carry on bitching about it, but yup, i knew it. thats painful, OOF

lean flower
#

You’ll get it!!!

tribal wharf
#

fuck that dungeon

lean flower
#

and when you do you can be like “never again heck you” hahaha

tribal wharf
#

for context, today, i did ask about the cadence (timing) of moving yazma, and got nothing, i did see the picture of how to move her, hard for me to understand when exactly

lean flower
#

oh I see

opal forum
#

i personnaly just stay in a corner of the room and switch corner when it start to get too crowded in spiders

covert flower
#

Yazma is just about letting spiders clump up then hard moving away from them, your team should always drop soulrends close and not ahead of the kite path

#

So instead of doing a constant slow move around the arena

covert flower
#

Look to let spiders clump up at a corner/wall, then hard drag the boss away

tribal wharf
#

this one

lean flower
#

The the only one I don’t like for soulrend in that image is the south middle one

tribal wharf
#

it shows HOW to move her, but doesnt show much else

lean flower
#

But sometimes it happens

opal forum
#

just move when it gets sketchy

#

you cant decide where dps drop soulrend, so just make sure they are not too close to you

#

and move accordingly

lean flower
#

I direct the team via pings

#

where I want them LOL

opal forum
#

people dont care about ping in 20

lean flower
#

ah fair enough

opal forum
#

i adapt myself

#

if i see them int

#

i leap somwhere

#

and bring the boss there

covert flower
#

Dude ping is nice but I swear

#

Pre set floor markers ahead of time

lean flower
#

I do that too

covert flower
#

Use a floor marker dropping macro

#

The same floor marker and just move it dynamically

#

You can do this easy as tank because there's nothing going on on Yazma for you

#

So keep an eye on which areas look good to soulrend, make your group aware you're going to be dropping a marker for the soulrend point

#

And just keep moving it where you want the soulrend

#

The reason I prefer floor markers to pinging is you can hard set them up ahead of time and everybody has time to clearly see where they're going

#

Instead of reacting to a ping

opal forum
#

just tell them do go far and together

#

its a 20

#

do it super safe

#

and it should work

lean flower
#

Deathray. The corners are pretty good because it allows you to keep spiders clumping up. I don’t suggest the south middle spot like that image . I only start in the cubbie for first one and go back there if the spiders are kind of F’d for the group when they are about to do soul rend and their movement is soon too and they are already close, for top left and right spots in the image. So sometimes I’ll do a cubbie one again to get it reset a bit

covert flower
#

I use corners and cubby

#

Fuck up the stairs

#

That's psycho

lean flower
#

Plus another reason I don’t like stairs is people can LoS the healer at times up there sooo it can be a little blehhh if someone has wracking pain and they can’t get healed

covert flower
#

Lower key levels like

#

Maybe 22/23 and below that fight is so decided by your healer in pugs

#

Like I swear the amount of times I've had healers tunnel and chain die to spiders is just phenomenal

#

Sometimes you get the classic, splat, res, splat

#

That's always a good one

lean flower
#

Sent you a vod deathray hope that may help

opaque quest
tribal wharf
#

please elaborate if you will

#

im just dying to know

#

probably "he wont watch it, or listen to the advice" (i did watch the segment in its entirity twice, still don understand every working part)

#

actually, i was considering making a comparison video using his footage or similiar footage, and play what i did and what he did, post that or just the first part, to try to see where the difference was

#

but the thought escaped my brain, like an hour or 2 ago, else you'd all probably be looking at it, but i wanted to leave it alone and not start drama or poking

opaque quest
tribal wharf
#

ah probably too late for a hail mairy attempt of it, and not worth it if i fail the run again

opaque quest
#

You realize all of us deplete keys too right?

tribal wharf
#

oh of course, ya, its inevitable after all

opaque quest
#

Just saying. You make it sound like giving it a second chance isnt worth it. For some of my highest timed runs i had 10 depletes

tribal wharf
#

more like a culination of failures would be soul breaking lol

#

thats why aitn worth so ya, im not gunna stress my self out again this morning

#

hits different when you fail 4 times in a row lol

opaque quest
#

It does. Thats why you try again tomorrow or next week

covert flower
#

If it makes you feel any better I bricked a fall and Iridikron was 85.0%

covert flower
#

Yeah that was the nail in the coffin I need to get off for the night key

#

I bricked 5 keys deep into their runs early morning, went to eat, shower and stuff

opal forum
#

tbh 4 failed keys in a row is not even that bad tbh

covert flower
#

Came back and 4 streaked some IO

opaque quest
#

Ye sometimes i get tilted so bad i dont play wow for 3 days after certain runs. But at some point ill just try again. My ego wont let me

opal forum
#

like, shit happens

covert flower
#

Ran 1 more fall trying to go for 5

opal forum
#

not the end of the world

covert flower
#

And yeah was greeted with

opal forum
#

go play something else until your less tilted

#

and try again

tribal wharf
#

i know a really fun game, wipe out, basically any of them but especially ps2 and onwards

opaque quest
#

Yogi with the thematic switch again

tribal wharf
#

ps1 is 640x480 probably 30fps and about half a triangle on the screen

#

the newer ones are really, really good, mix of mario kart and f-zero, but really fast

#

im debating if im making the comparison video or not, thats why think about random stuff

opaque quest
#

Yogi sometimes i think you got 2 personalities in your head. One likes wow and the other only play retro games. And they just suddenly switch without warning

tribal wharf
#

you have an internal monolog?

opaque quest
#

If you really wanna improve just watch the video up and down

#

And note what you did wrong

#

You know the basics

#

You dont need us to tell you to not turn your back for the 45th time

jagged pier
#

we vibe

tribal wharf
#

i think what i'm understanding, is before she starts to cast soul rend, like 3-5 seconds before, thats when i start to move her, and then i move here around room like in the picture

#

and the dps has to be stacked up ready to go into corner/what have you basically in those 3-5 seconds

#

and lust comes after first soul rend adds die,
and if possible everyone doesnt touch and spiders

covert flower
#

It's not even about moving her prior to soulrend, it's just having an established point somewhat close to the boss that is free of spiders, you don't always have to yank the boss away

#

Sometimes you may, sometimes you just path like normal

#

Like 90% of Yazma's difficulty is your 3 DPS and healer being on the same page

#

With movement and soulrends

opal forum
#

i feel ur overthinking it a lil too much. You seem to know what each thing in the fight does, so be logic and place the boss accordingly

covert flower
#

The rest is just down to heals being able to keep people up and you allowing them to play the game by not forcing them to stand in shit areas

tribal wharf
#

i believe a big part of what i did to make that key easy back in bfa days was put star on healer to tell group its the healer and have the ranged stack with them

opal forum
#

sometimes dps will int hard on the placement

#

well its okay, just move elsewhere

covert flower
#

At the end of the day, even if you have to do something scuffed like leap a large distance to get to a good spot

#

Your DPS/heals will find a way to get to you

#

It's not like they want to just run through spiders

opaque quest
#

I'd touch it

#

Just to see if it tastes purple

tribal wharf
#

that fight makes me paranoid cuz there is so many of the spiders

covert flower
#

Like the reason Yazma is easy for tank is

#

It has very little tank damage and you are almost always going to be in a spot where spiders aren't going to hit you

#

So you have complete clarity on that fight

#

You can see everything, you've got like nothing going on

#

It should feel like it's playing out in slow motion, you should be able to think about things 10 seconds in advance

#

Where you're going to move, where the group is going to drop souls

tribal wharf
#

its spiders thats why i spoilered it

#

but, ya

#

basically that vs yazma

covert flower
#

I mean Yazma is in that category of tank fights where it's "man I hope my group doesn't fuck this up"

#

Except you can easily solo yaz in decent time as pwarr if you have timer left after your group dies

#

Unlike something like Yalnu

#

Where you genuinely have 0 influence over the fight

#

Besides rally and add dmg

#

Iridikron, legit 0 influence over the fight

opal forum
#

if youre surrounded by spider

#

its because you dont move enough

#

go somwhere else

#

with less spider

opaque quest
jagged pier
#

based

opal forum
#

cant live in australia

#

stop trying to do some mathematical timing stuff for this fight

#

its as easy as "do you feel in danger? if yes, move somwhere where you feel less in danger

opaque quest
#

Guess who wants food

jagged pier
#

CAT

tribal wharf
#

cat say where food

opaque quest
#

There is always food for him. Hes one of those stupuid cats that doesnt like wet food

tribal wharf
#

maybe ill try it once more

#

i dunno 😒

blazing condor
#

where's all the tier lists meta slavers now

#

when this is r1 ToTT

#

mad quiet since this dropped

opaque quest
#

No lust

#

My god

opal forum
#

thats insane

opaque quest
#

Still need meta comp for 18 weekly

#

Is there a vod? Mustve been an insane run

opaque quest
#

Lets go

#

Thanks

#

Rogue isnt using "oldgunsounds"

#

Makes the pistol go from poof to bang

blazing condor
#

no lust and full melee

opaque quest
#

Metaslaves are just gonna say they got lucky or w/e

blazing condor
opaque quest
#

Yogi +30 with full melee when

tribal wharf
#

thats cuz slice and dice + attack power go brr

#

oh dps war lame

opaque quest
#

no

#

Thats because they are exceptional players

tribal wharf
#

bear is tonk isnt it? in the 30?

#

thought it was pwar some reason tank

pirate fruit to prevent the scurvy lad

opaque quest
#

I had some Kiwis for the first time in years cause i felt scurvy and immediately felt my stomach rebel lmao. Make sure to eat your fruits regularly kids

dusky canopy
#

Makes a lot of sense to me

blazing condor
#

obviously its a good comp

covert flower
#

Yeah that comp is actually pretty goated for throne the only 1 question I have is

blazing condor
#

considering they can do that hsit

covert flower
#

How bear is surviving 30 3rd boss

blazing condor
#

im just taking a stab at the ppl saying "you need a mage, aug, vdh blah blah to push"

covert flower
#

That comp isn't going to do rank 1 keys in other dungeons pretty sure though

jagged pier
#

because suprise suprise any tank can do a 30

dusky canopy
#

Bear is tankier than a tier list would suggest

waxen frigate
blazing condor
waxen frigate
#

The meta this season is entirely defined by mob control

covert flower
#

Just specifically Tyrannical 30 3rd boss though like

blazing condor
#

but it should be noted that Yodarr is Yoda's rogue alt and he's pushing R1 key as prot pala

covert flower
#

I could understand a blood DK, pwarr just brute force tanking it but

#

Feels like bear surely gets shit on IDK

waxen frigate
#

You act like bear is squishy

#

Also it looks like they have a MW so they can giga pump heals if needed

covert flower
#

Didn't say bear was squishy but the damage profile of 3rd boss is pretty bad for them no?

#

IDK

#

It's like shit loads of non stop high damage melees with magic damage on top

#

I guess bear self heals go crazy but still

waxen frigate
#

Ayo wait that’s nox and chungess

#

My boys

dusky canopy
#

If I’m not mistaken bear is probably next best “melees” tank behind us because of iron fur spamming

#

BDK does parry too so they would contend

covert flower
#

BDK does because blood shield

#

Too

opaque quest
#

Also DRW has pretty good uptime. Its all parries with that

waxen frigate
#

A quick peek at top log other than that one shows like 6k EHRPS difference between bear and VDH on that fight

sonic pagoda
#

neither wowhead or icyveins talk about pressing rend in the rotation, should I be hitting rend as a brand new prot war with no tier?

dusky canopy
#

No rend unless leveling maybe

jagged pier
#

no TC applies rend

blazing condor
jagged pier
#

that talent

blazing condor
#

thats not intervene

dusky canopy
jagged pier
#

if u are lvling and dont have it yet

plush tendon
#

the most important thing with comp is synergy; that bear, fury, double rogue, MW has great synergy with each other; for sure off meta but 100% viable

jagged pier
#

dont press rend anyway

#

it dont matter

dusky canopy
#

How bad is it to press shadow dance with outlaw

#

I loved outlaw in sl s4

plush tendon
#

plus 3rd boss prob feels great since no squishies getting blasted

sonic pagoda
#

tyty

opaque quest
dusky canopy
#

Right does it feel clunky?

opaque quest
#

no

blazing condor
#

could u imagine if S1 tier won for us

dusky canopy
#

Hmmm debating between WW and Outlaw alt

jagged pier
covert flower
#

Dude it feels clunky for me IDK like

dusky canopy
#

Big fan of both

plush tendon
#

but WW has some swagger to it ya know

blazing condor
#

i like WW

#

ring is nice

dusky canopy
#

Yeah WW is always sick

blazing condor
#

detox is nice

#

tigers lust is nice

dusky canopy
#

I like playing the “underdog” specs

#

Weird thing of mine

plush tendon
#

with rogue though, you can also play sub and ass

opaque quest
covert flower
#

Sub is actually so fun

dusky canopy
#

Sub is cool but to much shit to track for my taste personally

covert flower
#

Yeah it can be a lot but that's kinda all rogue specs in a way

#

None of them are brain-dead

plush tendon
#

I get excited

opaque quest
#

Most important is to use oldgunsounds addon

plush tendon
opaque quest
#

So your pistol sounds like a flintlocke

dusky canopy
#

Outlaw never used to be so bloated

#

You maintained bladefurry & snd
Pistol shot procs
Builder and spender spam

plush tendon
#

though I do recommend people play VDH; its a very fun spec now

opaque quest
#

Outlaw should just have SnD removed

dusky canopy
#

Now it’s got like thistle tea and shadow dance

#

Annoying

opaque quest
#

I like shadow dance alot. All you do is press it and use ambush instead of sinister

#

Big numbas

dusky canopy
#

I’ll have to at least give a chance

#

WW feels really good though

#

Played last night in full blues casually

opaque quest
#

Outlaw is simple. Because of the basic ass rotation you can think about CDs alot

blazing condor
#

when i played it last it was just a buncha sigils and not much more

#

spikes

dusky canopy
#

Break the meta is so cool to me

#

Wish they’d hype that up more

#

Meta slaving is boring

opaque quest
#

I wouldnt mind UH being meta at least once in 15 years tho

blazing condor
#

it was meta in SL MDI

opaque quest
#

Ye because of quadratic scaling that was removed instantly and PI

jagged pier
#

was also meta in wrath

#

they had to nerf it on the recent servers

tribal wharf
#

i pretty sure unholy was good all of bfa

opaque quest
#

Unholy was only good with PI and shit. Never on its own

#

Oh i lied

#

It was meta in S1 legion with casti and legy

dusky canopy
#

I’ve been playing with Rsham WW and Spriest for weeks

#

Off meta slammers

blazing condor
#

well spriest is meta

dusky canopy
#

Since mdi sure

#

Nobody considered it before that

blazing condor
#

around the time they buffed ret (and spriest i guess) ppl been discussing it

#

dps rankings for m+ rn

opaque quest
#

Pretty sure Spriest is/was meta since the rework

dusky canopy
#

Makes sense yeah

#

I almost never see them in que

waxen frigate
plush tendon
waxen frigate
#

After the MD/MS nerfs

blazing condor
opaque quest
dusky canopy
#

Ight gotta go work

#

Have a cool day homies

blazing condor
#

likewise dawg

dusky canopy
opaque quest
#

Enjoy mate

plush tendon
#

the core is the same though with get souls/fury spend them

#

but having higher spikes and meta uptime you dont feel like after 40 seconds into a pull that you gotta vengeful retreat and run like Forrest Gump

opaque quest
#

Bring back vengeance. That way tanks that take more damage do more damage

tribal wharf
#

speaking of retro imma go try that space ship game again

#

is a mythic raid, or +30 key on hard

serene gorge
#

every tank has a niche, but historically speaking prot, vengeance and brewmaster are the 🐐

weary saddle
#

Been thinking which tank to play in s4, coz i wanna start that tank alt early in s3. which tank in s4 has best tier set bonus u think?

tribal wharf
#

good lord that spaceship game is hard

opaque quest
blazing condor
tribal wharf
#

.....

#

ya

#

just take a look lmao

blazing condor
#

thats not among us

tribal wharf
#

thats my attempts at mythic raid level difficulty game, problem there was didnt aim my gun correctly, as you see

hazy bronze
blazing condor
#

made a mf named "Sigil" to really hammer in the gameplay okayge

blazing condor
#

not like imma actually play it tbh

#

in my 13 years of playing ive played pwarr and rogue

#

and rogue lived for 2 patches

plush tendon
#

make sure its a cute Fem Nelf

blazing condor
#

way ahead of ya

opaque quest
#

With sick burn marks so she can say bla bla i snackrificed bla bla

blazing condor
#

i love how us taking down illidan in tbc is mostly just "uh yeah we kinda fucked up"

#

good lore

#

some OSRS type lore where you the player becomes sole responsible for mass genocide just because you were stupid enough to belive what some dude said

opaque quest
#

Alex Arschsabi and Danuser messed up good ye

#

Blizz in general doesnt make good stories anymore. D3 and 4 are dogwater. SC2 turned to shit after WoL. wow has been a meme since wod. Overwatch kekw. Hots kekw

#

Iam new to prot warrior. Feels like huge Button bloat. Am i Right?

winged slate
#

Not really

#

90% of my button presses are like 4 skills

blazing condor
#

i got like 35 button bound total

#

but for the core gameplay you dont need that many obviously

opaque quest
#

Aye. If you wanna go over the top any class can have 40 buttons. You dont need half of them tho

violet ginkgo
blazing condor
#

no hard figure for it cus you can always argue what you need/dont need

#

but i mean everything that doesnt directly impact your survivability / damage would be "extra"

#

but even then imo youre inting if you dont got CC and stuff bound

winged slate
#

If you're not used to having offensive cooldowns and defensive cooldowns I guess you could see it as a lot

#

But it's not like I'm hitting last stand frequently

tawny briar
#

I play most of the tank specs and Honestly I think Pwar is middling for buttons. Pally and Brew are WAY worse

opaque quest
#

Brew is the worst offender because of all the buttons you need at the absolute minimum

#

Apart from CDs you can play warr with SS TC revenge IP and SB

opaque quest
#

Brew has more buttons for its dps rota alone lmao

lusty grotto
#

stupid huge ass thumbnails

#

that shit made me laugh

opaque quest
#

To be fair most ppl dont do FUCKING SHIT

lusty grotto
#

yeah lol

#

tim robinson is such a goat

#

thats every single pug mage we've had

opaque quest
#

Havent watched anything with him i think

lusty grotto
#

need lust? better get a mage or an aug at worst, but they will guaranteed be afk half the run or some shit

opaque quest
#

I started taking more hunters just because they can be more braindead while still doing dps

#

SPs are the worst offenders for me since the rework

lusty grotto
#

yeah usually hunters at least pull damage

#

but their defensive usage is rough

tawny briar
#

Hunters are so hit and miss man. So many accidently pull with auto shot or pets going flying into packs you are trying to skip

winged slate
#

Doesn't brew run a bunch of stuff that deletes buttons now?

opaque quest
#

No dps ever uses defensives lol

opaque quest
winged slate
#

There's like 3

#

You can delete tiger palm, diffuse, and dampen

lusty grotto
#

its just hard to beat all the defensives a mage has (that end up not using)

#

like even outside of their wall, they have invis and mass barrier

opaque quest
warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

yeah i heard that was a bug

#

has happened in our raids too

tribal wharf
#

i cant begin to what imagine life as a hunter main is like

blazing condor
#

Pretty calm considering you got no thoughts going on whatsoever

warm plinth
#

It's very chill

opaque quest
#

I played BM as main in MoP until Garrosh. BM is life

warm plinth
#

As a hunter main this season

tribal wharf
#

i figure you'd get lots of ppl get mad at you cuz you die so easy as a hunter

tawny briar
#

Bug or not, it makes me rethink bringing hunters to certain keys (DHT for one)
not unlike how I didn't run WCM with ret when they were pulling everything through the walls

tribal wharf
#

and random pullings

warm plinth
#

Easy rotation (though you wouldn't think it with how many suck), infinite mobility

winged slate
#

Hunters just press 1, 2, 3, and top meters while being ranged and mobile

tribal wharf
#

pets and attacks pulling

lusty grotto
#

auto pulling has no issues in keys

winged slate
#

If you're pulling shit it's a personal issue, not a hunter issue

opaque quest
#

Pet AI is still broken. Love it when my pet runs back to me and does nothing. Been like that since WoD

lusty grotto
#

idk, i personally havent had an issue

warm plinth
#

Waycrest still has pulling through floor issues

tawny briar
#

much rarer now

warm plinth
#

I've had it happen two or three times this season

lusty grotto
#

🤷

tribal wharf
#

like i said, i literally never ever see that in my wcm and tol dagor keys

tawny briar
#

Beginning of the season every time i went in with a ret, we pulled things through the walls lol. Cause the old tierset would auto throw hammers that would ignore combat flags

winged slate
#

The reason people rage at hunters is because they have it so easy, and then they do stupid shit anyway

tribal wharf
#

and you guys told me it always happens, well, not that i notice

lusty grotto
#

aware

tawny briar
#

Main offenders in my experience were ret. Pretty sure it's been fixed

lusty grotto
#

pretty sure that wasnt the case with chipadin either

winged slate
#

You'll watch a hunter die to the purple circles in ToTT and wonder what he is smoking

lusty grotto
#

its not s2 tier

opaque quest
#

Its the divine storm thingy

lusty grotto
#

it was consecration like always

opaque quest
#

But its gotten better

lusty grotto
#

or yeah storm

#

and i know

#

CAUSE I PLAY ONE

opaque quest
#

I just play everything

winged slate
#

Oh that's like the arcane orb thing

opaque quest
#

Ye

#

Projection

winged slate
#

Where you send it through 3 packs and are just like "uhhhhhh guys"

lusty grotto
#

early season you just didnt give a shit if it happened, but it never happened to chipadin

warm plinth
#

It hasn't pulled like a ton of mobs for me so far, so it's generally fine. Had it pull the disciple and another mob by raal and the patrol above witches

tribal wharf
#

arcane orb isnt that bad if you plan for it not to pull more stuff

lusty grotto
#

like cool we get extra count

tribal wharf
#

can fire it into walls and it stops early

#

but, nobody plays arcane anyway

lusty grotto
#

yeah its not TD bad

warm plinth
#

Ugh. I wish I could have liked td

#

But when you're havoc dh with a vdh tank

tawny briar
#

consecrate has forever had a Z-axis issue, pulling things above or below

warm plinth
#

It just angers you

winged slate
#

Solution: Delete consecration because it's a bad ability

lusty grotto
#

nobody liked TD ghash

#

lol

tribal wharf
#

i like tol dagor very much outside of low hp second last and last bosses

lusty grotto
#

except for the first pull on last season with versatile

#

and/or dev

tribal wharf
#

jes howlis is if you wipe on that fight omegalul

tawny briar
tribal wharf
#

like, its a hard fight, but not really

winged slate
#

Consecration only continues to exist because it's remembered from old school wow days

#

and everyone is like OH REMEMBER WHEN YOU HIT LEVEL 40 AND CONSECRATION WAS YOUR FIRST AOE ABILITY

tribal wharf
#

wasnt even in warcraft 1-3

#

gtfo

#

no more consecrate

winged slate
#

What's even the % DR on consecration with current gear?

lusty grotto
#

i thought we were talking about ret

#

the fuck i know i hate prot pally

winged slate
#

We were talking about paladin

tribal wharf
#

too damn much, unless its less than whatever the other tanks counterparts to that spell are

lusty grotto
#

no im pretty sure we were talking about ret

tribal wharf
#

nerf all paladin

tawny briar
#

Turns out both ret and prot have consecrate 😉

lusty grotto
#

except ret doesnt have DR on it so

tribal wharf
#

does holy really not

lusty grotto
#

🤷

tawny briar
#

No they do too lol

lusty grotto
#

holy does

tribal wharf
#

you figure it would be like a healing thing for holy

opaque quest
#

Its their highest dmg in aoe

tawny briar
#

Do they still get it for free though? like they don't have to cast it?

tribal wharf
#

consecration = highest dps

crystal mauve
#

Ret doesn't have to manually put it down tho that's the thing. It would be much better if Consec was off GCD, I would stop complaining

tribal wharf
#

💀

opaque quest
#

You also increase wog heal in consec as holy

lusty grotto
#

ret does manually have to put it down, else youre talking the wrong talent

#

because blade of justice can consecrate if you take the talent

#

but you dont

#

maybe in ST

#

not in keys

crystal mauve
lusty grotto
#

well i know

#

cause i play one

#

so im just telling you how it is

crystal mauve
#

Do you know which talent makes it drop automatically? I'm wondering if my friend is using it

winged slate
#

Idk, I saw a lot of the top ret pallies using it in keys

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lusty grotto
#

well you shouldnt

tawny briar
#

servers are up

lusty grotto
winged slate
#

In fact, it looks like basically all of the top 20 use it

lusty grotto
#

great

#

do we also go the same talents as top 20?

tribal wharf
#

expurgiate was bad

#

that talent was horrible

winged slate
#

Yes I often do take similar talents to good players

#

Why do you ask

lusty grotto
#

well youre being dumb today

opaque quest
#

Top 20 focuses on other stuff than pure dps btw

lusty grotto
#

idk what happened but okay

#

hope you can calm down

winged slate
#

God forbid you come up with an argument other than "Don't take it"

lusty grotto
#

in a prot warrior channel?

#

holy fuck what ant bit your ass today

winged slate
#

Lmao don't bring up pally then

lusty grotto
#

?

#

i didnt

#

portorhouse did

#

im just so confused at all this

#

what argument could you possibly want

#

because i guess thats what youre looking for

#

super random

#

but okay

#

ill bite

winged slate
#

I thought talent was good, you say it isn't, I checked to see if a lot of people take it, good players take it, you rage, you refuse to elaborate, you throw insults, then you say no this is warrior channel

tribal wharf
#

gogo vaults

lusty grotto
#

do you realize a lot of ret players just shot up on IO because of MDI 4 dps?

winged slate
#

Like it's fine but why talk about it at all if you weren't going to elaborate

lusty grotto
#

and they could just copy whatever

tribal wharf
#

lets go ppl time for vault loot pics

#

i show you mine you show me yours

winged slate
#

I genuinely wanted an explanation for why 3800+ rets are using it

#

But it's supposed to be bad

lusty grotto
#

20% extra damage for 1 holy power point?

#

holy strike damage?

winged slate
lusty grotto
#

divine wrath?

grim pilot
#

yes

tribal wharf
winged slate
#

It's just a different tree I legitimately don't know

tribal wharf
#

pretty sure thats what i want, i'll have to add food to ring/neck now but those boots seem okay

lusty grotto
#

in fact thats a tyrannical build

winged slate
#

Well it was tyrannical week so

tribal wharf
#

that or i can do glove

lusty grotto
#

its a kind of hybrid

#

youre saccing big aoe damage

tribal wharf
#

i got hero glove and thats 2/4 myth glove

lusty grotto
#

and also you dont have full ST damage with it

#

ive played it

tribal wharf
#

too bad they dont have leech

lusty grotto
#

anyway its half and half, its not really optimal

#

its just the best that you can do for a tyrannical key

#

cause rets are hyperfocused

warm plinth
#

@lusty grotto friend of mine played a key this morning with a paladin who didn't have rebuke talented keks

opaque quest
#

Rebuke doesnt do dps

#

So just dont use it

winged slate
#

I guess the high tyrannical bosses take ages so you kinda need it right

lusty grotto
#

depends

opaque quest
#

Honestly i rather have someone that does more dmg than someone that talents interrupt and doesnt use it kekw

lusty grotto
#

pure ST bosses yea

#

anything with an add... ehh

#

most key bosses have adds

#

and having 1/2 blessed champ is rough for cleave too

#

kinda really depends on the key

#

but it shouldn't be that overwhelmingly used honestly

winged slate
#

I'm trying to think of what notable bosses even have adds that scare me... Deios mostly?

tribal wharf
#

in a sense, pig boss wcm

lusty grotto
#

dps brain doesnt care about if adds hurt or not

tribal wharf
#

those adds semi scare me

#

if they reach him

#

he get very fat

winged slate
#

Ozumat the adds die in like 0.1s so they're not much of a thing

lusty grotto
#

those are cc-able though

tribal wharf
#

thats the part that scares me

#

will they get slowed and stunned/other or not

lusty grotto
#

spikes

#

not going on mage

#

and with bop/bubble down

winged slate
#

WCM boss is only freaky because you play warrior since you can't really do much

#

You can storm bolt and then cheer your team on

lusty grotto
#

totem on tott

winged slate
#

If you walk out of melee you'll just kill people

tribal wharf
#

i can leap out during the green cleave for charges

#

and do rally when adds

winged slate
#

Yeah but the totem is just a full ST target swap, idk if that's really cleave territory

lusty grotto
#

only pure ST fight in ToTT is ulthokk pretty much

#

i mean if you can keep doing damage to boss, why wouldn't you

winged slate
#

Sure, but most classes aren't aoe on 2 target

lusty grotto
#

council in EB is 2 target cleave

winged slate
#

2 target is that awkward range for a lot

tribal wharf
#

havent run much throne this season, would like to get at it

winged slate
#

Throne is agony

lusty grotto
#

as a ret you should also be freedoming and running over roots on DHT tree

#

and you can cleave them down after that easily without it spawning adds

winged slate
#

Man I wish people used freedom on me during everbloom adds

#

:\

lusty grotto
#

i generally do

#

but

#

obviously that induces tilt when i never get it on war

#

tank awareness :\

winged slate
#

Or tiger's lust or whatever

#

I think people genuinely don't know

#

Unless you've tanked before or a tank has told you, how would you

lusty grotto
#

i guess it can be a double-edged sword

#

yea

#

basically

winged slate
#

Obviously if you do giga high keys and watch big streamers you'd know but I don't think most people do

#

Like do <role> players ever watch <other role> streamers?

lusty grotto
#

well its also the issue where both VDH and Prot Pallies can just deal with it on their own... we can too but we need avatar for it

winged slate
#

Does vengeance have slow clear?

lusty grotto
#

retreat

#

vengeful retreat

winged slate
#

That clears? Also I for sure don't even take that lol

#

I'll have to tech that in

lusty grotto
#

i do on EB and on entangling weeks at least

winged slate
#

Oh shit cleanses all snares, that's big tech

#

I find it so awkward while tanking so I generally avoid it but that's good to know

#

I haven't done serious tanking on anything other than warrior this season

lusty grotto
#

ive dabbled, but not enough time for alts anymore

#

ive been doing 2-4 keys on them only

#

at least since last week

#

before that i was doing full vaults

tribal wharf
#

no vault pics

#

im sad

lusty grotto
#

palworld really cut into my gaming time lol

#

what can you expect yogi

#

most people either have their good loot already

#

or they get fucked like me

winged slate
#

I only played a bunch last week because heroic cache

#

So I ran 5 tanks through + my priest

lusty grotto
#

yeah i just did the 4

#

anyway shit vault, simming for fury gear i guess

winged slate
#

I wish I liked fury this tier

lusty grotto
#

i prefer arms

#

but i cant deny fury is just tankier for prog so ive been considering it

tribal wharf
#

i found some racists in wow just now

winged slate
#

I like arms because execute is satisfying to hit, though currently it seems like mortal strike just hits harder than execute for me

#

I'm sure it's a skill issue, I haven't played enough arms this tier

#

Since I'm tanking for guild, and I'm one of a few tanks for keys

lusty grotto
#

2x execute and you MS

#

since Exe precision

#

but yeah i shoot up in execute range

winged slate
#

I just mean that execute itself doesn't hit as hard as a mortal strike

lusty grotto
#

it buffs MS so yea

winged slate
#

Especially when you have 2x overpower and 2x execute stacks on it

lusty grotto
#

SD procs are still top prio with tier

winged slate
#

They buffed the clap recently right?

lusty grotto
#

cause you dont want to waste a proc

#

i have no idea

winged slate
#

So SD is actually mega aoe

lusty grotto
#

i run arms in my guild in raid so

#

not really focused on m+ build since i dont dps on those

#

but yeah execute is satisfying as arms

#

you also dont really wait until 2x 2x to MS, its used on cd

winged slate
#

I also just don't like the current iteration of fury with no (raging blow?)

lusty grotto
#

right

#

its just ramp > bb

winged slate
#

I thought during execute you ignored MS until it was 4x buffed

lusty grotto
#

nah

#

i mean i guess you could but maybe im wrong

#

i just do 2x EP, 1x OP most of the time

winged slate
#

Cause I thought it was basically

SD
MS with 4x buff
Execute above 40 rage
Fill with overpower

#

But idk

lusty grotto
#

when i said used on cd i meant outside of exe range

winged slate
#

Oh okay yeah

tribal wharf
#

bolstering fort, great lol

winged slate
#

Just kill everything evenly 4head

tribal wharf
#

its not 8.0 bolster

#

so its fine

#

fuck 8.0 bolster

winged slate
#

I honestly hate entangling more

tribal wharf
#

personally whoever said it, i think panda was more when wow became meme

winged slate
#

The game knows when I'm doing Iridikron tank soak, and will entangling me while it's happening

tribal wharf
#

kungfu panda wow sold to chian its all over bros

winged slate
#

So I get to choose do I run out and kill the group, or do I stand still and get stunned and then kill the group

opaque quest
#

Lore wise everything after panda was sheet

#

But Panda itself was pretty good. People didnt give it the chance it deserved because of muh panda chinese

I just had my second round of 4 bots in 2 days of overwatch. Its ridiculous what happend to this game wtf

pliant thorn
#

If I’m prot spec can I still get Lego

violet ginkgo
#

Yes

#

even if you set the loot on prot you still get leggo, at least that's what happened to me last week when I got mine keks

opaque quest
#

You can get lego. But you wont. Its an illusion

blazing condor
#

I got lego as tank in tank spec

opaque quest
#

100% just be the class

tribal wharf
#

doesnt exist, probably

blazing condor
#

Thats like base 20s

#

U can do it

opaque quest
#

Last season 3k was everything 23 or 22. Pretty sure when i hit it i had every dungeon in 23 and 22 on either side

tribal wharf
#

i mean i do have a portal to wcm and video to prove i ran it not robots or somethin

#

yogi 20 wehn was always the meme, meme dead

#

might kill it further some push week, run a 24 25 wcm sayt i did it

opaque quest
#

"push week"

#

In 20s

tribal wharf
#

i mean ya

#

p-much = not fort bolster week

#

yogi have 20 wcm in bag even

torn gulch
#

3k io is all 22's with 4-5 23s

tribal wharf
#

thats before you count in 2 and 3 chests a bit too though

torn gulch
#

thta's not that big of a change

tribal wharf
#

you get some bonus points for that, which you can only do a 21 or 20 of another then if 23 3 chest is good

torn gulch
#

the difference is not that big

#

between a 23 1 chest to a 23 3 chests

#

like 2 points

tribal wharf
#

like, if i have a 3 chest 18, i have to minimum 2 chest a 19 to see increase in io typically

torn gulch
#

wrong

untold mural
#

Yeah that’s not true lol

torn gulch
#

the difference between levels is 10 points

tribal wharf
#

maybe im thinking of what io shows as the best run

torn gulch
#

unless it's the secondary key for a dungeon

untold mural
#

Pretty sure if you had a best of 18 would be something like +3 io for 2 chest, +6 io for 3 chest, +9-10 for timed 19 one chest

torn gulch
#

it's not even that high

untold mural
#

And then those gains are divided by 3 for the off-best side of the meter

torn gulch
#

the difference is like 1-2 points for a +2 and 2-3 for a +3

#

maybe 4 for a +3

tribal wharf
#

i think also in part i might be confusing it with this

#

the score part

torn gulch
#

your 18 is the main key here and the 13 is your secondary

#

if you do a 19 tyr

#

you get like 10 points

#

in this case

tribal wharf
#

the first pull of dht has given me problems on fort, but i've got more gear now so that might help it if i go back

torn gulch
#

if you do a 19 fort in this case

#

you'll get like 25-27 points

winged slate
#

Yo nice cropping discord

#

Pretend these aren't cropped like shit

torn gulch
#

so like i said except 2 and 3 stars are even less difference

winged slate
#

I just wanted to show similar keys with similar +

tribal wharf
#

ya, doesnt do it as bad on phone, am aware of that issue if u want to call it one

torn gulch
#

it's like 1-2 for +2 and 2-3 for +3

tribal wharf
#

ya, i guess your right, its not really that many points

winged slate
#

The huge bulk of your points comes from getting a baseline

tribal wharf
#

nice when you do a key thinking you will get 10 io and you get 22

winged slate
#

What I would honestly recommend is just look at your little spreadsheet of dungeons and work on the ones that are low

tribal wharf
#

i want to run fall probably

winged slate
#

I can't login now but I think the r.io addon has a compact version of this which I use a lot

#

It's nice to see which dungeons are my best/worst, and spend time looking for those keys

#

So for my DH I should've run dawn last week

opaque quest
#

Thats what im doing too. Always running my lowest key

tribal wharf
#

what key i runs depends on the context

winged slate
#

That's not true, you always run waycrest

tribal wharf
#

so far, yes, only hero butcher block remains from there, and io

winged slate
#

This little doodad

#

This is cash money

tribal wharf
#

thats not true

#

i also run lair

winged slate
#

Mate I count 85 WCM on your profile

opaque quest
tribal wharf
#

it was 100 lairs

opaque quest
#

Dude has done more WCM in a shorter time than i did keys at all last season lmfao

tribal wharf
#

so ya

opaque quest
#

Yogi you should raid the shower sometimes

tribal wharf
#

i was farmin the gold mi ne

#

what can i say

#

theres gold in there, its valuabl

lusty grotto
#

nope cause that trinket is ass

#

if you were selling it i would take it

#

but you arent cause you put pics of your trinket hoarding all the time

covert flower
#

Any mid-high level keys actually runnable this week?

#

Waycrest probably right, I guess AD/BRH maybe

lusty grotto
#

on that range everything is runnable

covert flower
#

Yeah but like

#

this week definitely knocks your max by 1-2 levels so

tribal wharf
#

atal dazar is mostly final boss, but i dont want to talk about that again right now

lusty grotto
#

bolstering only really affect minibosses

covert flower
#

to run 26s I'd probably be needing to be a 27/28 player I reckon

lusty grotto
#

so rise is kind of rough

#

if you dont tunnel maiden, etc

covert flower
#

Rise last pull 😄

lusty grotto
#

runeweavers

covert flower
#

Kill the adds you buff the dragon, kill evenly then all 3 will be up the entire time

lusty grotto
#

but everyone should be tunneling runeweavers anyway

#

you kill the dragon

#

dodging the 2 dudes is easy

tribal wharf
#

way crest was an easy reliable source of many things i wanted

lusty grotto
#

dodge and kick, thats it

tribal wharf
#

something i was familiar with, lair i never did until s2

covert flower
#

You don't dodge their aoe xd

tribal wharf
#

but i am now big fan of lair

lusty grotto
#

you dont dodge their extremely choreographed pattern?

#

oh

#

my bad

tribal wharf
#

halls of valor as well, i became familiar with that dungeon

covert flower
#

Dude

#

you can't avoid the aoe damage that hits you no matter what

#

they pulse aoe like the big dragon does

#

just less damage

#

It's for your group not you obviously

lusty grotto
#

its not as big as the dragon

#

thats negligible

#

and schism you kick

covert flower
#

No but on a 26 fortified with 2 of them going

#

see how much damage is going out

#

Normally you ass blast them asap

#

to get the group dmg low

lusty grotto
#

why are you asking then if you dont want feedback

covert flower
#

I didn't ask how to do that pull

tribal wharf
#

something about healers cant zone into keys

covert flower
#

I know it's fucked xd

tribal wharf
#

no idea

winged slate
#

World servers shitting themselves for anyone else? Struggling to collect vaults atm

tribal wharf
lusty grotto
#

i mean the big damage comes from the dragon, you can cleave little guys its not fucking rocket science

#

by the time the dragon dies, they'll be low enough

tribal wharf
#

2nd healer it happened to in a row fo rus

lusty grotto
#

literal common sense on bolstering week

covert flower
#

Yeah except on 26

lusty grotto
#

stop saying 26 like we dont fucking run them

covert flower
#

you definitely need them dead, because you can't tank all 3 xd

lusty grotto
#

you cant tank them?

covert flower
#

dude the rank 1 rise key last time around was a 28 on bolstering it's not far off

lusty grotto
#

?>??

covert flower
#

the group dude

#

don't be dense

#

like actually

#

don't be dense

lusty grotto
#

are you done?

covert flower
#

xd

lusty grotto
#

xd

#

ecks dee

covert flower
#

are you done being dense?

#

I am if you are

lusty grotto
#

are you? ecks dee?

#

xd xd

#

XD

covert flower
#

Only the tank takes damage there xd?

lusty grotto
#

xD

covert flower
#

definitely aren't running with a group xd?

lusty grotto
#

okay xd

winged slate
#

TIL that "tank them" actually means "The group damage is quite high"

covert flower
#

just dodge the small adds damage bro

lusty grotto
#

sure xd

covert flower
#

the big dragon does 11k base pulse the small ones do like 7k ea

#

damn man

lusty grotto
#

easy xd

covert flower
#

the big dragon is the only thing that matters

#

yet the 2 small ones do more damage

#

wow!

#

that's crazy

lusty grotto
#

do you have a fucking choice? who knew

#

xd

covert flower
#

that's so crazy actually

lusty grotto
#

ecks dee

karmic plinth
#

dont tell bro that healers exist

covert flower
#

man 11k or 7k x2

#

I wonder which is moreeeeeeeee

lusty grotto
#

xd

#

did you guys know

#

hard cc exists

#

hmm

covert flower
#

!!!

lusty grotto
#

xd

covert flower
#

We'll taunt them guys, dw

#

problem solved

lusty grotto
#

ez xd

winged slate
karmic plinth
#

i wonder if he realises that 11 + 7 > 7 + 7

covert flower
#

it is, but where are you getting 11 + 7 from

winged slate
#

11,530 * 5 = 57,650
6,918 * 3 * 2 = 41,508

covert flower
#

No no I understand the duration difference, that's fine, because that dragon has way more health and the small ones damage can be dropped faster except

#

you then bolster the big dragon xd

lusty grotto
#

xd

warm plinth
#

Well, tbf, 40% inc on dragon is still less damage than having both adds up

covert flower
#

No of course, no1 is arguing that, my point is that the pull is just fucked no matter what you do

lusty grotto
covert flower
#

yeah but your solution earlier was to just kill the big dragon and dodge the small one circles

lusty grotto
#

xd

covert flower
#

like the circles are what anybody cares about

#

xd

lusty grotto
#

whatever works for your heals

covert flower
#

freak answer

lusty grotto
#

thats a lust pull anyway

#

and you should be lusting it on fort

warm plinth
#

In the sense of it being a pain either way, yes. But killing the adds is still safer is what I'm saying even if you're bolstering the dragon.

lusty grotto
#

xd

#

same reason double dragon is a lust pull

#

same reason maiden is the first lust pull

#

and not the sentinel like they do in low 20s

#

keeper or w/e

covert flower
#

Double dragon is fine because it's the same pull bolstering or not

warm plinth
#

Double dragon is a TV show/video game 🤔

#

Noob nimchip

covert flower
#

like last pull you always barely even get the small adds down on higher fort keys, then you need to do that into eating a bolstered aoe from the dragon it's just rough

lusty grotto
#

i member that game ghash

covert flower
#

anyways it's not like it's not gonna be like this the whole week it's just afk go other game week

warm plinth
#

It was fun

waxen cradle
#

Hey guys I need a second opinion I do not have Rageheart, or the cheat death trinket from Fall, nor do I have Augury, but seeing as I do have a mythic shield do you recommend opening as Prot loot spec or dps loot spec

lusty grotto
#

i have mythic shield and i open as prot

#

cause rageheart is strong for pushing, if you dont push go dps

#

cheat isnt a consideration

#

hero track cheat does the same thing as myth track

#

so you shouldnt even consider it

#

just farm a hero track and thats it

waxen cradle
#

cool was leaning that direction, but its also tough as hell to get Augury I too am a member of the no rageheart/augury club

lusty grotto
#

yeah it sucks

#

but eventually youll get one or the other

tribal wharf
#

well, the TW gave me the neck

lusty grotto
#

and then you just perma one

tribal wharf
#

and i have craft neck so rip bozo

lusty grotto
#

realistically you want rageheart first

tribal wharf
#

didnt even get a transmog

lusty grotto
#

so you can just nap on dps loot specs

#

and never change it until next season

#

at least thats my logic

waxen cradle
#

cool thanks for the second opinion was leaning that way but a second opinion helps

tribal wharf
#

should neck transmogs be a thing now that we have gpus with more than 256 mb of vram

#

like, 20 pixels total

waxen cradle
#

honestly it would be cool if they made necks and rings and shit show up on us

#

but as necks are under our armor anyway unrealistic

tribal wharf
#

rings too, rings would be piss easy, silver or gold band and a sparkly bit maybe

#

necks there would be enough to do advanced models, rings you'd only ever need very basic tech

winged slate
#

Yo these wow servers are pretty good for a small indie company

#

Did this game just come out

tribal wharf
#

multi dollar company

winged slate
#

I'm gonna go play roblox

lusty grotto
#

i dont think they have a model for accesories, and making a revamp of it would cost a lot more that could go on more important things

#

newer mmos obviously have them

#

it would be a "nice to have" at best, i guess, but not a lot of people would be interested in them i feel

#

accessories have unique graphics/art on xiv and i dont think ive ever given a shit about them lol

winged slate
#

If you told me that there were or weren't models for necklaces in game currently I would believe you

lusty grotto
#

they're just.. there

winged slate
#

I don't look at my character that close

I play M+ and raid, I see my character's ass

#

yeah

#

pretty much

winged slate
#

and from whatever the max zoom is

#

I couldn't even tell you what race my characters are

#

The only reason I know my warrior is a void elf is because that racial does nothing

My characters all look cool and low/medium-fantasy inspired

Depends on the dungeon

Raid ain't bad though

#

what went wrong here? just a big pull and bolster? i show at the end of clip that i was blocking the attacks

#

i think its when i go to the maggot i get hit in back by the thorns gaurd

#

Yeah you gotta stop charging mid pack. You're charging through other mobs which opens up your back to them.

#

And then you got finished off by the tankbuster from the steward

#

Think you move through the mobs way too much

#

just be a wall

#

also those stewards hurt they attack twice or something don't underestimate their dmg

warm plinth
#

Stand still unless you're forced to move. We shouldn't be bouncing around in trash packs.

#

Leaping out just to charge in again is pointless

#

what i see from that clip is i block all but like some 86k melee , and then theres some huge hit i took even as a block 223k

#

You took melees in the back from every mob in the pack except the one you charged to

#

you got astro fucked in the butt like ghash is saying

warm plinth
#

That's why your health plummeted toward the end

#

maggots dont bolster, so its not even that much of bolstering on them

#

well they had 7 stacks but still
