#showtooltip
/cast Charge
/cast Victory Rush
/cast Impending victory

is there a way to put these together?

I currently have the bottom one, but was advised of the top, and i dont want to make another bind

#

for impending victory

strong forum
#

You can't macro 2 gcd buttons onto the same macro

#

Ah nvm I'm dumb

#

Charge doesn't incur gcd

#

You can just add /cast impending victory below the macro at the top

tribal wharf
#

these spells dont

#

that bar is just a reminder of all the spells that i have that are off GCD, i would like to have it take up an entire bar on main action bars

I didn't get invited to a single key this week

So far

grim pilot

me neither

strong forum
#

I have only 1 completed key

grim pilot
#

I just found some people 2 days ago

strong forum
#

And it's a +20 weekly

grim pilot
#

a ret and rdudu

#

that wanna play

compact sleet
grim pilot
#

are good

#

and similar rio

#

literally found them while they were on their alts and I was upping my ad 26

#

(it ended up being rise 24)

#

so we have 3 keys

covert flower
#

if you intend to commit arson in the near future it does, sure

compact sleet
#

lol i love talking about binds. literally like snowflakes

lusty grotto
#

thats fine mine is shift 5

#

its not a big deal

strong forum
#

Keybinds are Everybodies on demons

#

It's still just fun to compare and talk about em

compact sleet
#

i use shift 4 for hoj on pally, so its the same place

#

i just started a competition for s4 in my guild where we rolled random characters,. and highest 3 io's get prizes.

#

its been interesting seeing people freak out over the class they got lol

lusty grotto
#

thats a nice idea

covert flower
#

are u guys allowed to gain score together or do you need to pug it all

#

god bless the warrior getters if it's all solo

#

gl men

compact sleet
#

yeah, keeps people engaged, and learning classes they otherwise wouldnt play (all mains and 3k+ io toons from s3 were banned for the individual)

#

so yes and no

#

we can run with other toons in the competition if theyre guildies

#

otherwise we have to pug

#

no mains allowed to assist, starting next season

covert flower
#

hopefully they drop the shit affixes incorp and afflicted so warriors can get in more keys

strong forum
#

Haven't gained score this week so far

compact sleet
#

lol yeah, kinda nuts we have no way to deal with that

strong forum
#

It's just impossible to get into everbloom and dhts for some reason

compact sleet
#

one of the first things i noticed going into a key this afternoon

strong forum
#

And if you do, EB depletes on 2nd boss

#

Dht before first

lusty grotto
#

dont think they should drop them, they should just make every class be able to do it without getting fucked in the ass talent chocies

covert flower
#

dude

lusty grotto
#

they are still better than anything we've had before

covert flower
#

hard ccing incorps should make them disappear

#

if we're using bolt on them that's enough

compact sleet
#

agreeeeeed

lusty grotto
#

yeah agreed

#

that would be a good change

covert flower
#

afflicted just needs to be changed like

compact sleet
#

stun or dispel would be great

#

instead of just dispel

covert flower
#

that's too much like incorp then though

lusty grotto
#

afflicted is a problem though, especially with dispel bosses/trash

covert flower
#

affixes should be 100% different just

#

IDK how they'd do it

lusty grotto
#

just rework it completely

compact sleet
#

fort/tyran, and 1 seasonal

lusty grotto
#

maybe i do agree that at least that one should be removed

compact sleet
#

they add arbitrary mechanics that no one likes, just to make it more difficult. jsut make the dungeon harder

covert flower
#

afflicted is clearly more problematic because every single class has hard cc

#

only like half can deal with afflicted

lusty grotto
#

yeah

compact sleet
#

yeah its definitely rough

#

lmao. watched all that in real time

#

it just sucks, because a single affix can make a whole week dead.

covert flower
#

How about if Afflicted put like a heal absorb on the group or something, for 20% of your max health

#

IDK

#

30% maybe

compact sleet
#

that doesnt sound that bad honestly

covert flower
#

something warriors could just IV off

#

every class has some kind of self heal pretty sure

compact sleet
#

mage is one i can think of that doesnt

#

unless you wanna count the talent for ice block

covert flower
#

yeah but mages can do everything in the game

compact sleet
#

yes

covert flower
#

they're allowed to miss out on 1

compact sleet
#

yes they can

#

lol

#

i mained a mage from s1 shadowlands up until this season

covert flower
#

dude people bring mages specifically for goliath like

#

they're the only class in game that is getting invited for 1 specific boss

#

pretty sure at least

#

must be nice

#

if you're a mage pugging high WM you are auto in

compact sleet
#

yeah, none of the mages I know have any issues getting into waycrest lmao

covert flower
#

also the debuff could still be healed

#

if 30% is too low it could be changed, I'm just thinking if it came at a really bad time

#

like cinders in EB or yalnu stomp or some shit

compact sleet
#

still a better affix than what is now imo

covert flower
#

like if you run tides on afflicted week

#

your healer can not be wasting dispels on afflicted 3rd boss

compact sleet
#

lmfao, you're drowning, for sure

#

on fort weeks lol

lusty grotto
#

heal absorb on the group is a bad idea, might give ptsd due to overflowing

covert flower
#

yeah but overflowing never could have been that bad right? since it obviously couldn't keep stacking

#

like how would you ever clear it then

#

it was just 1 heal IIRC

lusty grotto
#

its just weird how blizzard removed all healer specific affixes and then doubled down on dungeon damage and put yet another healer affix in the game

covert flower
#

okay fine not heal absorb but

#

like

#

a heal total that needs to be healed

#

it doesn't absorb, it just needs to be cleared within a certain amount of time

cerulean tusk
#

What if they just make it become damage done reduced by 33% per stack or something. DPS will still do em, Healers in PuGs can chill and dont get yelled at for ppl dying. DPS will flame eachother for not CCing.

#

Will be great

lusty grotto
#

hmm nah we're talking about afflicted

covert flower
#

Incorp fix is easy we already discussed

#

make any hard cc (ST ofc) make them disappear

#

Every class will be able to do something about them then

#

Like there should be 1 healer affix in the game

#

and it should feel made for the healer

#

not the rest of the comp to do for the healer

#

I think that's how Blizzard designed it

#

man this will be cool, the healer can heal them and dispel them and others can help if they want

#

in reality, no

#

our mage and boomkin will get these and the healer will do fuck all and ignore them

Hello guys a quick question here should I stop getting haste when at 43% (-10%) penalty and if yes should i focus on crit or sth else (i play only dungeons and do not tank raids)

covert flower
#

I think 7100 is the magic number

cobalt juniper
#

than i am good i am at 5607 ๐Ÿ˜„

covert flower
#

I prefer crit to vers and most people here do I think

blazing condor
#

crit gang

covert flower
#

I think in reality they're close and there's some situations one is better than the other but the fact of the matter is

cobalt juniper
#

we have to see those big numbers

covert flower
#

the majority of damage you take is melee

blazing condor
covert flower
#

crit is just going to give far more DR

blazing condor
#

there's not much haste/vers gear to get rn

#

anyways

covert flower
#

Ooh

cobalt juniper
#

witch sim are you guys using patchwork ?

covert flower
#

I could remove a haste enchant and use haste buff food

#
  • 15 crit
#

worth

warm plinth
#

Can use 5 min if you're simming raid but you rarely have a 5 min boss fight in keys

pallid quiver
#

"rarely"

you underestimate the power of random pugs to die and leave the tank to solo smh

Though that hasn't happened since the last time I ran AD, which was months ago

covert flower
#

IDK why I didn't start running crit flask sooner

#

this shit is nice

grim pilot
#

lol

#

thats so true

warm plinth
covert flower
#

Does it though?

#

I feel like the uptime is so good

#

whenever it does end up going off you're like leech/indomitable healing it anyways

lusty grotto
#

its ok

#

theyre just way too expensive

covert flower
#

Yeah that's the only downside for me

#

Uptime is like 90%+ for me mostly, I could be having it higher too I'm just shit

strong forum
#

I always use crit flask

#

The self dmg is irrelevant

covert flower
#

Like before I started using it I was always mentally calculating that the uptime would be dogshit

#

But it's actually just good

grim pilot
#

@strong forum depleto

#

I actually played with a guildie of yours

warm plinth
#

There are two DoTs that deal damage to you. I think one is called like Withering Plague and the other is Rotting from Within

grim pilot
#

some scytherr guy

warm plinth
#

And Rotting from Within can break invis pot because it happens entirely at random

pliant trout
#

so in dungeons where you have invis skips it's risky to run

strong forum
#

Ye scyther is not bad

#

I coached him in SL for pwar he got like top 5 in 2 weeks xd

Coach nome

So according to the pin, if i have over 5400 haste, i switch to Into the Fray instead of Heavy Repercussions?

analog lantern

imagine actually seeing a prot warrior

#

imagine inviting a prot warrior to a key ๐Ÿ˜ข

grim pilot
#

I'm a prot warrior

#

in my keys

analog lantern
#

sweet how's it going

grim pilot
#

well

#

the prot war alone fine

#

the 25-27 range with pugs

#

not so fine

#

at least we're 3 premade

#

but every dungeon has that 1 boss that pugs can't do mechanics on

#

aka yazma

analog lantern
#

yeah I think I'm actually getting brain damage from the number of +28s I've depleted this week

#

I depleted a 28 AD to 25 earlier because of Yazma

#

pugs

grim pilot
#

my ad 28

#

turned into rise 24

#

:xdd;

analog lantern
#

oh jesus

grim pilot
#

rerolled it to fall

#

got it to 27 ad I think

#

back to 25

#

not even 2chested

#

into fall 26

#

not even 2chested into rise 27

#

and idk if I'll try to tank rise 27 or go dps war for that one

analog lantern
#

I feel better now for my disaster of a week

#

literally 0 score and a million keys for potential score

grim pilot
#

I got like 20 rio this week

#

and got good keys for tomorrow

analog lantern
#

well good for you

#

!

grim pilot
#

my tyra eb 24 into 27

#

I helped my 2 new premades time a tot 28 and actually improved my prev timer

#

and timed a scuffed wm 29

analog lantern
#

jealous...both keys I had and played like all the way through and ran out of time at the end even though they were pretty clean, was pulling big

grim pilot
#

I am 100% sure me and ret have damage for big boy keys

analog lantern
#

that's been the frustrating thing for me this week, feel like I'm pushing performance but idk

grim pilot
#

we just need clean runs

#

we tried tot 29

#

well we tried it twice but first time it ended on first boss

analog lantern
#

not translating into timed keys

grim pilot
#

2nd time it ended right before 3rd boss (well mage just left because timer was gg) so we didnt get to experience it on 29

#

but if it wasnt for giga scuffed run

#

we definitely had the damage for it

analog lantern
#

I actually got more score last week somehow

#

I timed a 27 EB last week I mean wtf

grim pilot
#

I would time eb 28

#

but get this

#

we're all good

#

7 mins for last boss

#

and ret gets meleed by the boss

#
  • we dont have cr
analog lantern
#

fuck's sake

#

I've had that happen before

grim pilot
#

but like

#

I'm not concerned

analog lantern
#

before the boss becomes active im like spamming shield charge

grim pilot
#

28 eb on forti is a temporary key

#

my goal is to get it on 29

#

on forti

#

yeah I mean I always go way out of range

#

I'd rather lose 2 seconds of uptime than deplete the key

analog lantern
#

right? :p

#

I have a rise +28 which im gonna do tomorrow

#

idk though, im not confident, sending it with pugs

#

not much choice though

#

got a route sorted but yeah

grim pilot
#

I had a couple of deaths in my 28

#

and still had 2 mins left

#

2 weeks ago

#

its not that bad of a key tbh

#

it's trash and unfun to play but nothing boogeyman like eb

analog lantern
#

I don't know dude the comps I have been making...they just don't have the damage, (usually have a ret, maybe a rogue then either a mage/shaman then monk)

#

don't think I'll get a mage anymore

grim pilot
#

mages are so rng

#

I have my own ways of checking people

#

and (usually) if it's a serious key and not an upping key

#

we deplete due to mistakes and not to someone underperforming

analog lantern
#

I was doing an EB 28 and the mage didn't interrupt the heal which he was assigned to do and no purge, 2nd boss

#

it was so frustrating

grim pilot
#

if all goes well

#

I will grab a fair amount of good keys tomorrow

#

realistically

#

might be around 3660-3670

analog lantern
grim pilot
#

logs

#

simple as that

#

and then I look for specific stuff in logs

#

niche things and depends on class/dungeon but yeah

#

it doesnt help 100% of the time but most of the time I find decent pugs

analog lantern
grim pilot
#

deaths in the logged keys, prio damage, boss damage, relatively to the group if they were carried in most of their keys or have they pulled their own weight

#

and raid logs if they're really good

#

people find it weird

#

but I cba

#

really

#

it's a tool, so I'm using it

analog lantern
#

I feel like this takes a while though and by the time you've had a good look, that person has moved on

grim pilot
#

idk it takes me 1minute tops

#

and that's like

#

if the person has the rio for it

#

which as u know most of the people applying are much lower than they should be

#

I had a 3,6 aug apply today and even whisper me with attitude expecting a invite to +30

analog lantern
grim pilot
#

wdym

analog lantern
#

they're much higher than they should be

grim pilot
#

what I mean is

#

3300 pala applying to a +28 or +29

#

I'm not even gonna bother

analog lantern
#

sure

grim pilot
#

I mean I will glance over every person applying just to see if they for example just dont have 1 week done and are doing the keys in that range anyway

#

it might be fresh char or just started pushing or smth

analog lantern
#

yeah I usually do that

grim pilot
#

but if a guy has +26 max timed and wants an invite to +28 then I really wont bother

#

but yeah, like I said - so far I think it's somewhat worked for me

warm plinth
#

That happens so much this season. My apps will be filled w/ people at like 2-2.3k applying for 22-24 keys

#

like bro what

analog lantern
#

lol

grim pilot
#

isn't that an every season thing?

warm plinth
#

Idk didn't really see it last season or the season before

maiden ravine
#

keys are easier this season so people are trying to push

violet flume
#

ive devled a bit into 21s lately

#

i bailed FAST

thorn glacier
#

best m+ wep enchant? 2 guides suggest different things

cerulean tusk
#

I had people whisper me, laughing me off as I que to their +20 groups. Just cause my alts gear is bad and score low sadge

#

Easily did a +23 rise with my scuffed ~460 pwarr, so don't be too mean to the low ilvl ppl

#

We get the job done right wicked

warm plinth
violet flume
#

oh im sure 450 can get the job done, i just dont trust pugs

cerulean tusk
#

For 20-25 range, you only need 1 pumper, a tank with a pulse and a healer that presses buttons. The two last spots are a bonus.

So take a chance, maybe you get someone to add into your network for em 25+ keys later on

#

I still can't get over how many ppl only do 150k overalls in the 20-25 bracket. Sure, it is timed, but it so so much closer than it should be Rampage

grim pilot
#

I met 2 people recently

#

a healer and a ret

#

so for any key up to 27-28 (well not like rise eb or tot) I'm there to tank when we need to up and we are carrying the keys - even if ends up being depleted it's still day and night

compact sleet
#

is there any reason to not bind shield block with shield slam?

jagged gust
compact sleet
#

Ok fair

#

So while I can stack shield block theoretically infinitely, thereโ€™s a fine line between always pushing it, but also having enough rage for everything else

#

Makes sense

Oh that also makes sense

#

i think it also counts absorbs like IP or trinkets or externals

would have to double check with someone smarter than i

jagged pier
#

u can also block without shield block

#

shield block just makes it 100% chance

otherwise its like 30-40%

tribal wharf
#

Having that last sentence with proper grammar and not being edited was super important to me lol.

#

Never enjoyed using twitter, but some times i have to to talk to some ppl :S

lusty tiger
#

Idk twitter is optional

#

You WILL use twitter

lusty tiger
#

Same

tribal wharf
#

i use twitter soley out of spite

#

to contact people i cant contact other ways

#

because i think its such a dumb platform, like facebook minus

#

go on there and say "i dont like tomatoes on hamburgers" and then get a million retweets or somethin, wtf is that

lusty tiger
#

Garbage

#

Twitter is just a supply to the demand of being chronically online

#

There are some okay things about it like companies having a simple real time platform for updating customers (bands/developers/etc)

median tulip
#

I quit Twitter when the emerald mine fascist purchased it

lusty tiger
#

I mean thereโ€™s no point in singling him out when heโ€™s one of many evils

#

Twitter just sucks in general

median tulip
#

He is the evil in charge, tho

lusty tiger
#

In charge of twitter yeah

blazing condor
#

the less time you spend chronically online the better

#

saves your sanity

#

to not interact with ppl who have nothing better to do

jagged pier
#

^^

#

touch grass for at least an hour a day

blazing condor
#

no grass here rn sadge

#

just been snow and shit for months

tribal wharf
#

grass and snow

#

if i show more its probably doxx some how but ya

median tulip
waxen frigate
blazing condor
#

im not saying im any better

#

im full degen

#

but its still true

waxen frigate
#

Interacting in half a dozen chats all day so I donโ€™t have to formulate independent thoughts and just yap instead

blazing condor
#

real

median tulip
#

I just chat to y'all as a break from studying

waxen frigate
median tulip
#

heh

#

at the start of the pandemic there was a point where the UK government were paying me to play wow

waxen frigate
#

The US government effectively pays me to shitpost on discord and scan papers

median tulip
#

and you're all outta paper?

waxen frigate
#

Before I moved to current position (same job, just different actual task/sssignment)

#

I was prepping records for retirement aka printing them out and putting them in folders

#

Ran out of both paper and ink at different points

median tulip
#

well, as long as you get paid

waxen frigate
#

(My boss dramatically underestimated how much stuff there was)

#

Yeah. I donโ€™t make good money but itโ€™s money.

#

And not stressful

waxen frigate
#

(It was 6 months)

median tulip
#

Those are the best ones

#

I used to be an IT contractor

#

Getting a gig because "we need someone for 4-6 weeks" so you quote them the high rate for short term

tribal wharf
#

being in IT is good if you are smart and work for old dumb boomers

median tulip
#

and then they don't get their shit together and 6 months later you're still there on top money

tribal wharf
#

they will believe anything you tell them

waxen frigate
#

Ya unfortunately it was so mind numbingly boring for 6 months

tribal wharf
#

"my autocad doesnt work"
"must be a problem with the server again..."

waxen frigate
#

So I jumped at the opportunity to move over to a different role

#

Also means I save commute time since I now skip rush hour

tribal wharf
#

that'll take about 3 weeks (only takes like 3 hours if your not dicking around)_

#

i see they are running AI IT now, says it helps with website problems no idea, im not a html coder guy

waxen frigate
#

Yeah my current job I only use like half the amount of time allotted to me to get the work done. And even that is doing it slow

tribal wharf
#

my assumption is those bots are luaghable to certified IT

waxen frigate
#

I also am like able to assist other people when needed but usually itโ€™s not needed

#

Like todayโ€”I scanned in the morning group for today about 30 minutes ago. Donโ€™t have anything else until after lunch

tribal wharf
#

all i can think of is those anon works it greentext videos from 4chan read by AI

#

ive never had to do real IT thankfully

hazy bronze
#

Yogi my Autocad doesn't work. Can I hire you to be my daddy?

dusky canopy
#

Mastercam bis

tribal wharf
#

sorry the website database might be down

#

probably gunna take me about 2 more weeks

#

its complicated stuff

uneven mason
#

That worked so many times at my job

#

Eventually the business manager was like garms "You say that when you don't want to immediately address the problem and want us to go away, don't you?"

#

Is it now or in an hour when vaults pop up

lusty tiger
#

Meanwhile I have to explain to my boss why I canโ€™t make an excel + one drive replacement that works better because I am one guy and not a multi billion dollar company

jagged pier
#

why would they want their own

#

not point making something that works

lusty tiger
#

Because they have a IT team of 14 it that has found the worst way to implement every part of our stack

uneven mason
#

They just want to be cheap?

#

Like

lusty tiger
#

And our stack is basic bitch af. We are accounting corporate for a not for profit school

uneven mason
lusty tiger
#

LOL

#

They get milked so bad by consultants

#

5 guys on a call. 10x forced email exchanges

uneven mason
#

It's fucking bad

#

Kidding though, I'm an engagement manager

#

And half my job is reining in those fucks

#

"did we need 2 technical assets on this call?" No, we needed zero because it was discovery phase

lusty tiger
#

Iโ€™m the only one who writes software and I still need to put in work orders to update any of my IDEs/programs/etc

uneven mason
#

Trying to triple bill customers so it looks like we're doing something

lusty tiger
#

Yep

uneven mason
#

Makes me mad

lusty tiger
#

Itโ€™s just a high end scam

uneven mason
#

Like, if the customer feels like there's no roi for the process consult, they're not going to bring us back for the build phase

tribal wharf
#

watch the game treies to give me leech egg shell again

#

im taking it if so

#

only if with leech or only good pick

uneven mason
lusty tiger
#

Iโ€™m learning Golang and docker so I can get a real job

#

Jr dev positions are dried up after 60 years conveniently right as I enter the workforce

jagged pier
#

honestly do AWS certs

#

congratz

#

u have a job

lusty tiger
#

No I want to learn real software

tribal wharf
#

if i see heart frokm dht with tert i will insta take thhat one too or cheat

uneven mason
#

So the parent company this year decided no raises, we lost 2 team leads and 3 sr system architects yesterday

tribal wharf
#

cheat whast im actually ant

lusty tiger
#

Certs, boot camps, and degrees are so inflated now

lusty tiger
uneven mason
#

Ngl I flipped my linkdn to actively looking

lusty tiger
uneven mason
#

But the 5 that left were literally sitting on offers

#

Just in their back pockrt

tribal wharf
#

if i see myth cheat dfeath trinket im giga insta picking that no other consideration unless shield to see if it hase

lusty tiger
#

LinkedIn pisses me off it is 95% irrelevant advertising and data mining people applying for low level positions (by forcing them to sign up to random websites to apply)

#

Such a steaming pile of dogshit

hazy bronze
lusty tiger
fallow fern
#

what you guys think... is a 483 chest with leech better than a 489 without leech?

jagged pier
#

no

fallow fern
#

489 is still better?

jagged pier
#

yes

fallow fern
#

kk, thx

#

love me some ilvl upgrades anyways ๐Ÿ™‚

warm plinth
#

do we get rageheart from vault today

tribal wharf
#

time for yogi 389 cheat death

#

lets go,

100%

#

uneven mason
tribal wharf
#

uneven mason
tribal wharf
#

you are playing a monk now?

uneven mason
#

It's shang chi and the ten rings

#

Ten rings

fallow fern
waxen quarry
#

no

fallow fern
#

oh

waxen quarry
#

maybe back in the old days

uneven mason
#

Never

#

Well

waxen quarry
#

but rn its just defensive/speed

tribal wharf
#

what it its ring slot tert

uneven mason
#

Mayyybe legion

#

Because itemization in legion was fucked

tribal wharf
#

cuz not main stat

waxen quarry
#

still losing a fuck ton of secondaries

#

tert is never worth over ilvl

#

or socket

#

socket is 1k dps tert is 0

uneven mason
#

No amount of leech beats 2ndaries loss

tribal wharf
uneven mason
#

Speed however

tribal wharf
#

this socket is worth 0 dps in my heart

uneven mason
#

Speed set worth 20ilvl at least

warm plinth
#

You could maybe make an argument for a small ilevel loss for avoidance if you're a DPS/healer and doing giga high keys

#

But not for a tank

uneven mason
warm plinth
#

and pretty sure healers sacrifice a bit of ilevel for leech

tribal wharf
#

i could do spark and tehn craft 2 hand weapon

warm plinth
fallow fern
#

well i like the ilvl upgrade anyways cause it puts me over 487 .. rather than being stuck at 486.9 ๐Ÿ˜…

tribal wharf
#

i cant even remember if that 2 pc set is good or not

#

i like mini sets like that, 2-3 items,

warm plinth
#

It's better than nothing but the trinket isn't particularly good so you wouldn't use it (plus I'm pretty sure it's an int trinket, so irrelevant for us anyway)

tribal wharf
#

i seeem to recall it was lcasters that wanted it in bfa

#

i cant recall if it was healer or dps

#

i think it was mostly a healer thing, no idea

warm plinth
#

Idk, I don't remember that far back, especially with healer shit

tribal wharf
waxen quarry
#

leech on dps is fake

#

on heal its crazy

warm plinth
tribal wharf
#

dmg when dealing dmg and healing while doing healing and if 2 pc chance for 1 thing to do the other thing

warm plinth
#

A lot of DPS already have some form of passive self healing/self absorbs anyway

tribal wharf
#

also, its dps job to not stand in the bad and not die

#

dps dies = GG

#

well, rip 299 leech

warm plinth
#

I mean that's a good ring

#

regardless of the leech

uneven mason
#

I think Raidbots is fucked atm

#

It's literally telling me that upgrading my tier chest from 483 to 489 is a DPS loss

tribal wharf
#

i lost faith in wow bots sites about performance and sims after it told me i didnt sharpening stoen my shield in de other side

warm plinth
#

you didn't select the enchant for the 489

uneven mason
#

shouldn't it always selected the default enchant

warm plinth
#

Not if you don't have one selected on the list

tribal wharf
#

pepegamusic.mp3

uneven mason
#

I'd figured 6 ilvls would be worth more than an enchant

#

turns out that the DPS increase is the non tier chest, convert my helm

warm plinth
#

It's 150 strength so pretty significant

tribal wharf
#

dont we normally craft rings for like frood or i guess thats just 1 ring

#

i know you cant food the tp ring

warm plinth
tribal wharf
#

ya, well aware,

#

just its kind of a off the beaten path approach to itemization

median tulip
#

I have both the ring and trinket on my Priest. It's ok.

tribal wharf
#

i know every caster was (and still is) after that damn tree branch from wcm

opaque quest
#

Puzzle box and ring was decent in BFA. Ring at least has/had bis stats for rsham

warm plinth
#

There was one in Legion as well, the trinket and ring combo (trinket was from Arcway iirc)

#

actually 2 in Legion; the opera ones

waxen quarry
#

cant get much better than that

tribal wharf
#

this is slightly cursed to protection warrior chat, but i dont think i was about to see a helmet for a while anyways

#

only if theres no brez in the group i suppose :S

opaque quest
#

Why would it be cursed. Doesnt matter. There is no haste crit helmet iirc

#

There is a haste mas from raid

tribal wharf
#

there is, its from doti

#

oh well haste mastery ya

lusty grotto
#

yeah i mean its fine, its not an embelish either

tribal wharf
#

i suppose i could have just crafted a normal BS helmet too? oh well

#

maybe ill do that next

lusty grotto
#

i would say it was a good decision

#

๐Ÿคท

tribal wharf
#

ya, best not to over think it

#

helmet good

opaque quest
#

Funny number hehe

#

I would agree too. Unless youre on 7500 haste engi helmet is fine

split pendant
#

just here to say that i am having a lot of fun playing prot. i run into the enemies and they try to make me fall down, but cannot. i leap at them with a fiercesome gnomish shout. i get lost and the group notices and it's not a big deal. thank you.

lusty tiger
opaque quest
#

He was so close to greatness

tribal wharf
#

this is a quest i will not forget any time soon

crystal mauve
tribal wharf
#

ill try it for like 10 keys

#

and if i find i cant cast it enough ill seek another myth haste helm

tribal wharf
#

wish every farm key i ran was as smooth as that group i just ran with

#

only did 1 lust at i think final boss, still 3 chest

violet ginkgo
#

having rageheart is really2 nice, extra uh oh button. A shield absorb combined with our mitigation at least will stabilize a lot before healer can re-heal us.

opaque quest
#

Blizz needs to keep making tank trinkets do dmg

#

Eranog was the same. Pretty good

violet ginkgo
#

oh yeah the damage is nice too to keep the adds aggro to you

#

pop shield, building aggro, damn... so nice

warm plinth
#

next season we can get rageheart+all-totem LETSGOOO

opaque quest
#

Rasz trinket tho

#

Augury

#

Brood

#

So many good trinkets next season

lusty grotto
#

beaconnnnn

warm plinth
#

I am looking forward to beacon again

#

Look how good I am

#

my 473 ass died so much I didn't even beat the tank

opaque quest
warm plinth
#

22 DHT keks

lusty grotto
opaque quest
#

Puzzle box will be bis for me again on UDK sadge

ionic roost
opaque quest
#

Just let me use rezan augury every season so i can turn my brain off

warm plinth
opaque quest
#

Definitely yea

#

I bet my #1 will be augury

#

Then ill farm puzzle box

#

And call it good

lusty grotto
#

we still gotta see the sim numbers

#

cause for example

#

anvil vs signet

#

basically the same trinket except one is manually activated

opaque quest
#

Oh Anvil exists too

#

There will also be tuning i bet

lusty grotto
#

OCE too

#

so like OCE vs Icon vs Pip

#

for stat gains

violet ginkgo
#

what is anvil's cd again? 1 min?

tribal wharf
#

ps 2 m

lusty grotto
#

but to be fair, OCE and Icon are adjustable to a specific stat so they are kind of superior

#

to pip

opaque quest
#

OCE will probably be bis. Everybody has it + you can change stat. icon is vers only for dps

tribal wharf
#

OCE is really good

violet ginkgo
#

rashok molten heart for healer XD

tribal wharf
#

thats why, MS + pick your secondary get 1000 of that

#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

like, ya???

#

no shit is good lol

opaque quest
violet ginkgo
#

yeah but who knows they rebuff it again?

tribal wharf
#

tri- MS at that

violet ginkgo
#

it's just that good to solve some mana problem I heard

opaque quest
tribal wharf
#

OCE is the giga stat stick

lusty grotto
#

all of this depends on final numbers for the fated season anyway

tribal wharf
#

oce + pips i imagine

lusty grotto
#

no

#

Icon

opaque quest
#

No you dont use 2 passive stat sticks

#

Maybe on BM

violet ginkgo
#

btw anvil vs brand which one is taking more time to build up to max stack?

tribal wharf
#

i mean, its not a terrible idea

#

if it gives you some meme stacks like 8000 haste

opaque quest
#

2 passive stat sticks is a horrible idea

lusty grotto
#

its a bad idea for us

#

when rageheart exists

#

and other trinkets

opaque quest
#

Its a bad idea for everybody that doesnt have CDs up every 15 seconds like BM

tribal wharf
#

well, i got 489 spooder egg and hourglass

#

im more or less happy

lusty grotto
#

okay

tribal wharf
#

spooder egg was the MVP pick

lusty grotto
#

anyway manic grieftorch is also coming back

#

boon as well

tribal wharf
#

no theart of thunder

#

rip

lusty grotto
#

and i believe razy trinket was already mentioned, spiteful storm

tribal wharf
#

ruby, i would want ruby, cuz morshu (old PFP)

#

never had ruby but always wanted it

lusty grotto
#

faceless ire as a ghetto sac also

tribal wharf
#

i mean, hear me out right

#

but, what if

#

dread plats

lusty grotto
#

no

opaque quest
tribal wharf
#

yes dread plates winky face

lusty grotto
#

no yogi

#

there's no freeport this time around

#

so it'll not be good

tribal wharf
#

do esnt it provide a bazillion armor and asborb or somethin

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter, no pure physical damage dungeons this time around

#

so useless

tribal wharf
#

so, keys wont change for final season 4 i guess or there is no s4

#

im not sure how this is meant to work

lusty grotto
#

s4 is supposedly all DF dungeons

#

no past-expansion ones

tribal wharf
#

ruby life pools

#

oh no

lusty grotto
#

wrong bad dungeon

#

you misstyped HoI and Uldaman

tribal wharf
#

uldaman is i will never play that dungeo ever again without 3k placyers in voice

#

im not runnin it lol

warm plinth
#

I like Uldaman outside of the last two bosses being overturned

#

Overtuned

lusty grotto
#

its fine

#

just 5 boss dungeons shouldn't fucking happen

#

HoI is the absolute worst one though

tribal wharf
#

i dont understand why you say 5 boss dungeon is bad but okay

lusty grotto
#

and with the changes to AV, its a strong contender to being ass

lusty grotto
median tulip
#

The problem with Uldaman is that 75% of all affixes are "sucks to do this in a narrow corridor, huh?", and Ulda is nothing but

lusty grotto
#

how many dungeons in M+ have you done with FIVE bosses?

tribal wharf
#

where is the issue more precisely you feel

lusty grotto
#

it is the dungeon with MOST bosses in any season

tribal wharf
#

that they deal too much dmg or take in too much dmg

lusty grotto
#

ANY season

#

..

median tulip
#

There's always a 5 boss dungeon, as there's always a 3 boss dungeon

lusty grotto
#

uh huh, which one

#

which is the other 5 boss dungeon

median tulip
#

ToP and Street were 5

lusty grotto
#

ill wait

#

steets had 4

#

ToP did have 5, but it wasnt as long as uldaman honestly

#

either way most people hated ToP on tyrannical for the same reason

tribal wharf
#

theatre was its own pain in the ass to run

lusty grotto
#

ah yeah streets had 5

tribal wharf
#

but at least it was fucking entertaining

#

half the reaseon i kept going back to theatre

#

that and that damn axe!!!

#

ran the dungeon 30 times....... 70 times?????? i cant remember, some ungodly amount of times to get 2h axe

#

never got it

waxen quarry
#

overkilling the tank by 2x tanks hp

#

el mortal strike

lusty grotto
#

so SL was the expansion to blame on 5 boss dungeons

#

another thing to hate fucking SL for

waxen quarry
#

tbf u could have 3 and still be cancer as fuck

#

vp

#

last boss

lusty grotto
#

but at least both streets and top where like 5 pull dungeons

lusty grotto
#

but there's way more chances of fucking up on a 5 boss dungeon during tyrannical

waxen quarry
#

definitely

#

in the case of top

#

bosses were consistently cringe

#

in terms of checks and just raw damage

lusty grotto
#

at least it had 2 banger bosses

waxen quarry
#

best part was holding cds on xav

lusty grotto
#

cause duel was okayge

waxen quarry
#

and then just obliterate the duel

lusty grotto
#

and last boss was kinda fun tbh

waxen quarry
#

ye that was my first time reflecting as a dps warr

lusty grotto
#

gorechop was okay

#

ig

#

the other 2 were fucking stupid

waxen frigate
#

Imo remove Music boss

#

Remove RP from auction boss

#

And itโ€™s good

lusty grotto
#

yeah i mean streets isnt the worst one out of those 3

opaque quest
#

Im mad i came back for Season 4 in SL

#

I hated Streets and Gambit

#

And all the SL dungeons in general

lusty grotto
#

i liked them

#

and i only played S1 and S4

opaque quest
#

Same. S1 and S4

#

But nah

#

Different tastes

lusty grotto
#

the only bad part about SL dungeons was the different buffs with covenants

#

also you and i didnt play the later versions so

#

im sure they must have nerfed a few of them

#

at least from the OG lineup

median tulip
lusty grotto
#

right but, 5 boss dungeons isnt "always the case"

#

SL was the starting point of it

median tulip
#

Waycrest was BfA and had 5

#

Eye of Azshara was LEgion and had 5

#

So was Halls of Valour

lusty grotto
#

well i guess im smoking crack

#

HoV is a boring ass dungeon anyway

median tulip
#

and Arcway

#

And VotW

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

its still a shit design decision

#

they are too long

#

made longer by more than 4 bosses

#

long distances to walk

median tulip
#

Technically Everbloom was 5 bosses

#

and UBRS

lusty grotto
#

everbloom had never been a m+ dungeon

median tulip
#

So yeah 5 boss dungeons go back a long long way

lusty grotto
#

we're not talking about dungeons outside of M+

#

im not new man

#

if you wanna list everything

median tulip
#

But yeah, every expansion since M+ has been a thing has had a mix of 3, 4 and 5 boss dungeons

lusty grotto
#

most of which are slogs

#

and avoided

#

except for a few exceptions

median tulip
#

If anything there are fewer in later expansions

#

Waycrest is arguably the easiest key this season, and that's 5

lusty grotto
median tulip
#

I mean part of that is that the second boss is a joke to us, but w/e

lusty grotto
#

nobody likes EoA, nobody likes HoV, nobody likes Arcway, nobody likes HoI, nobody likes Uldaman, nobody liked VotW

#

streets, top, wcm are the exceptions

median tulip
#

ToP was the best

#

and entire dungeon of "I don't have to give a fuck about any of this"

lusty grotto
#

also let me tell you

#

nobody liked WCM in BFA

median tulip
#

That wasn't because of the bosses

lusty grotto
#

at least in tyrannical

#

yes it was

median tulip
#

That was because of the doors

lusty grotto
#

that was part of it but the root of the problem was witches

#

which is a boss

jagged gust
#

doors really was a nice qol improvement tho

lusty grotto
#

because witches this season are cake

median tulip
lusty grotto
#

but in bfa if you didnt have doors to first boss witches, you were fucked in tyrannical

median tulip
lusty grotto
#

because then you had to third boss it and potentially brick the key

median tulip
#

The thing is, in a 3 boss dungeon the bosses tend to be tuned higher, which causes its own issues. Exhibit A being Tyrannical Ingra Maloch.

lusty grotto
#

i dont think thats the case

#

thats just feelcraft

#

timers are tuned lower sure

#

bosses arent tuned higher or lower

median tulip
#

I remember there was some analysis back in BfA that the Mists bosses took almost a minute longer on average than the overall boss average

tribal wharf
#

3-5 bosses is a good amount for any key, anything more or less is unacceptable

median tulip
#

Both Ingra Maloch and Mistcaller were a pain because they phased, and if you didn't have the DPS to do them in N phases then you had an entire extra phase time to add on

#

AFAIK they've never gone outside 3-5

lusty grotto
#

youre attributing way too much to Blizzard

#

remember their dungeon team is not the same as their M+ balancing team
