If you feel coerced by piratey transmog but won't engage in piratey activities, then you're a poser and deserve to stew in your FOMO lol

if you dont like battle royale, just dont play it, problem solved clueless

#

If you don't like literally anything, just claim it as an injustice because you never consented to existing in the first place

#

Life hax

#

The invisibility bank confuses me, because most of the time I'm very much not invisible when I use it

#

This game is quickly becoming "drop next to two other people who get fire whirl and die before you can complete your quest"

#

Like, fourth game of that in a row lol

I do sometimes wonder how these people function, but based on some of the posts I've seen on that forum, a lot of them, uh.... don't. They just live off [whoever] and sit on the internet all day.

Hey, ist Leech worth using a 476ilvl trinket over the same trinket on 483?

jagged pier
#

I've played that long probably and I'm at 13

#

its easily 1k+ per game if you do the captains orders and focus on leveling instead of pvp

#

if youre good at the pvp part its even faster

#

over 2k per win at level 10

jagged pier
#

honestly u dont need to be good and pvp to be good at this pvp

dusky canopy
#

I agree

#

just learn to counter what people have

jagged pier
#

which is basically what u ahve to do to tank

warm plinth
#

My average is probably like 500some per game

dusky canopy
#

After the buffs?

warm plinth
#

I've had a couple of good ones that were 1500+

#

Yeah

jagged pier
#

youll get there ghash as long as your enjoying it then its fine

blazing condor
#

its all about having fun

quartz cape
#

I get around 500 per game or wipe immediately, Just do the quest and then either go hunting for chests or go find the pieces of hate.. loads of ppl will be there but there is good plunder and you can have a fun fight

coool just coming back to this toon so doing low keys so far, 443 ivl i dont feel like im handicaped so ill take it

pallid quiver
#

In terms of like, viability, tanks this entire xpac have all been very strong; choice of tank won't really limit your ability to do anything other than at the most absolute fringe (#1 in world M+ keys kinda level)

#

You can easily chill all the way to like 24s, 25s, then you gotta start trying harder

only thing is

pugging is gonna be harder

interesting how long it took for wow to get a BR considering how huge BRs were back in the day

#

but at the same time: it took so long to get one that they're riding a second wave now

#

Blizz has a long history of observing gaming trends, working on their own version, then sending it like 10 years later.

cerulean tusk
#

To me it seems it was more a: ok what could be fun to try fix within this game engine? BR? Sure, let's give it a go.
If that is the case, then WoW might actually have a bright future.
If it was: BR are popular, we need to draw in kids to earn money. Push one out.
Then well... yeah....

so how we feeling about prot warr in the DF dungeons for Season 4? Uldaman screws us I know but can't remember about the rest.

Oh yes maybe changing to dwarf is best

It is nice to have but not required

I personally don't worry at all for S4, because I've already got portals in S1/S2, so I can just stay at +18 +8 for vault and at this lvl keys are easy okayge

what is going on with the services channel being reenabled every single fucking time i log into wow

hey if im not that rich to buy the grand banquet of kalu ek then what is the next best feast in line?

lusty grotto
#

jagged pier
#

just buy the fortune cards

lusty grotto
#

buy deviled eggs for yourself

#

or fortune cards yea

#

fated fortune cookie or Deviously deviled eggs

#

which arent feasts

#

feasts arent that expensive anyway

#

126g each atm, i mean that's kinda cheap

#

well, at least in NA

dusky canopy
#

Considering we were paying 800 each for flasks at one point

#

126 is cheap

#

xD

blazing condor
#

can you still not do fortune cookies in m+?

#

cus it gives you an item

jagged pier
#

eat it at the start and the embleishent keeps it on all key

#

🤷

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

if you have an alt without the thingie

#

just use deviled eggs

warm plinth
#

Use eggs anyway. They're cheaper.

#

LOL

#

Dont worry I get totally schooled sometimes

warm plinth
#

Go for a win with no holy shield

dusky canopy
#

it all depends on what abilities you have vs your opponent sometimes you are just out matched

#

holy shield is the ultimite poke

#

i go for it every game

warm plinth
#

Poke?

dusky canopy
#

going to make it harder for myself I think and do full melee

#

smackeral/axe/iceslow

warm plinth
#

Searing axe is actually savage. Just can be hard to land

dusky canopy
#

the fact that it interrupts makes it so good!

@dusky canopy nuuuu

blazing cradle
#

is council tank trinket bugged somehow? i did 2 dungeons and it never procs, and on the tank dummy too.

warm plinth
#

Do you have logs? Dummies are not an effective test of trinkets

#

There's a lot of random shit that just doesn't work on dummies

blazing cradle
#

this was last key

shut summit
#

ye its bugged

blazing cradle
#

i only have pip as other trinket, shouldi play with that instead?

shut summit
#

compared to a trinket that does nothing? yea prolly

blazing cradle

xD and i farmed for that too today

Can you clarify which trinket you're talking about? That log doesn't show your gear

# lusty grotto wat

And someone was arguing with me yesterday that plunderstorm was where the most toxic behaviour was

did ok this morning at least, i guess VDHs woke up

lol jakey wth

Scroll up in tmog if u want popcorn

jesus fuck

its like that person the other day in here

they are seriously affected by FOMO

as if those cosmetics wont show up on the trading post recolored eventually

#

jesus

jagged pier
#

I mean number 1 they already have datamined recolours

lusty grotto
#

how are you gonna grind to max renown and complain about it

#

when you literally put in a number in blizzard's counting that you played it extensively

#

and then be like "oh i hope they dont do it again", well they will cause its popular

jagged pier
#

And number 2 as i said, its your choice to colect it

lusty grotto
#

yea fr

jagged pier
#

Yer i dunno was like talking to a wall

lusty grotto
#

so weird lmao

jagged pier
#

And all my point was plunderstorm wasnt bad.

#

As a gamemode but not have toxic players make it bad

#

Buddeh u play retail or classic they fucking everywhere

#

Didnt even explain what toxic behaviour he had seen. Cause ive seen like none

#

And if he means someone comes and snipes when u low thats just the BRs in general

#

🤷

lusty grotto
#

PvE doesn't reward playing like a dirtbag or shitting on other people. PvP does, so not it's not. There are toxic people in PvE, I never claimed it didn't, but PvP is infinitely worse

#

this is so weird to me

#

what a take

#

apparently this person has never ever set foot inside a key

jagged pier
#

Bad takes are bad keks

lusty grotto
#

or in pug raids

warm plinth
#

I haven't experienced any toxicity in plunderstorm and I've played for hours every day since it came out

jagged pier
#

^^

lusty grotto
#

how do you even have toxicity in it

#

every streamer ive watched has 0 chat

warm plinth
#

WEll, you can talk in there

#

But no one does

lusty grotto
#

oh right they block it

warm plinth
#

I talked once to a level 8 that me and my level 3 friend were hiding

lusty grotto
#

i forgot lmaoooo

warm plinth
#

with

lusty grotto
#

xD

#

idk i find BRs proximity chat fucking hilarious tbh

warm plinth
#

Our talking was literally

#

"shhh" while we hid at the top of a tower

lusty grotto
#

but i know plunderstorm doesnt have that

warm plinth
#

I guess the text-based is proximity-based

#

but yeah

#

You can only use say/yell which are both distance limited iirc

lusty grotto
#

yeah idk what does it matter if someone says words on the internet on a game mode you shouldn't be focusing on a chat window to begin with

#

smh

warm plinth
#

I forgot you even COULD chat until like

#

yesterday or the day before

lusty grotto
#

if they are hard focusing on the chat window, they are probably just pve farming ig

#

lol

#

yeah i couldnt imagine someone just paying attention to it

warm plinth
#

Pretty sure most people saying it's "toxic" just mean they're bad at PvP/don't want to PvP and are getting killed

lusty grotto
#

thats exactly what it is

jagged pier
#

well thats the thing they were complaining about

#

they wanted world quests etc

warm plinth
#

but yeah idk, even when I'm not actively avoiding PvP, I can go like 5 minutes without seeing someone else

jagged pier
#

like dude just dont be bad or just do the pve stuff

#

it doesnt matter

warm plinth
#

while I just level up

jagged pier
#

as i said like a few days ago u dont need to be good at pvp to actually be good at plunderstorm

#

u need to be good mechanically at the game

#

and like using your brain to see what ppl have and to know how to use your stuff to counter it

#

but also if your doing it only for the tmog then thats your choice

#

u dont have to like elite sets which are also a limited timed set

#

and collectors still do that

#

🤷

#

literally no difference

#

anyway i aint gunna vent anymore

lusty grotto
#

ya agreed

#

its just wow players are just so conditioned to grind the FOMO

#

case in point the augment rune

#

which actually isnt really fomo i guess

Any tips/talent changes for Tind Mythic?

did you go over the sheet

the blockable/reflectable sheet?

#

as far as talenting goes... id say it will at least give you an idea

If you got no BDK, make sure curse/poision and a DK aa slow is on Tindral - to minimize the stackbuildup

#

So... thinking ahead to Season 4; Seal of Diurna's Chosen + Cataclysmic Signet Brand + Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart = BiS?

lusty grotto
#

rageheart no

#

its nerfed

#

the damage at least

median tulip
#

boo

lusty grotto
#

it'll be good defensively, but that's it

#

anvil might be better than signet, we will have to see what the throughput is like

#

beacon, manic grief, storm-eater, spiteful storm, good contenders

#

well

#

if dps is the question

#

cause storm-eater's and beacon are... you know

#

can be rough to cast mid fight

median tulip
#

Mmmm

#

None of the Dungeon trinkets were worth writing home about, if memory serves

lusty grotto
#

decoration of flame too, sorry

#

dungeon trinkets hmm

#

only one i remember was whelpling

#

most of the decent trinkets were from other expansions so they aren't coming back

#

like whetstone and mark of dargrul

#

ruby whelp shell and blazebinder's

#

are pretty much it i think?

#

dragon games equipment is also decent if you can kick the balls

#

treemouth is coming back too as a defensive option

#

also they buffed magmammoth scale

#

ah yes idol of trampling hooves

median tulip
#

Puzzle Box, Dragon Games Equipment, Franzying Signol Flare, Treemouth's Festering Splinter, Irideus Fragment, Mutated Magmammoth Scale, Blazebinder's Hoof, Ruby Whelp Shell, Burgeoning Seed ( literallytrash ), Grannyth's Enduring Scale, Idol of Trampling Hooves, Homeland Raid Horn, Inexorable Resonator ( literallytrash )

lusty grotto
#

so basically both RLP trinkets, Nok's hooves, DGE and treemouth as a defensive option

#

everything else we will have to see

#

depending on balancing

#

inexorable also got "buffed"

median tulip
#

I don't like Blazebinder's Hoof. No Pri.

lusty grotto
#

this is the full list of nerfs and buffs so far

#

like we have no idea how inexorable was reworked and shit

waxen frigate
#

item data is available

median tulip
#

That Dreadplate change is interesting

lusty grotto
#

i cant fucking remember what it did originally

waxen frigate
#

it's better than it was but still not very good

lusty grotto
#

well thats a 250 ilvl

waxen frigate
#

granyth's looks definitely usable

#

probably like

#

rageheart>granyth>splinter

#

for that genre of trink

lusty grotto
#

kinda weird the dungeon journal has those at 250 but the rest are 437 explorer track

#

but i guess it makes sense since they were reworked

#

faceless ire is kind of a contender in that area also

#

or at least as ghetto sac

#

enduring dreadplate does seem interesting

median tulip
#

I actually ran that for a while in Season 1

lusty grotto
#

at least for damage

#

season2*

median tulip
#

Because Trinkets basically don't exiist for me

lusty grotto
#

or do you mean granyth

median tulip
#

No, I meant Season 2

lusty grotto
#

hehe

#

i looted that trinket like

#

2nd or 3rd week

#

never used it

#

and of course trinkets also dont exist for me

median tulip
#

I had it week 2; had nothing else for like 2 months after

#

eventually got anvil and OCE combo though

lusty grotto
#

cant remember what i used, but def didnt use dreadplates

median tulip
#

Anvil was fun just for playing the game of "can I keep one stack of 5 for the whole dungeon?"

#

Bit like when we had the banner minigame to keep us entertained

lusty grotto
#

same for signet

#

except you dont activate it, its automatic within a certain timeframe

cerulean tusk
#

Oh, they are not reverting the nerf on Beacon?

lusty grotto
#

its still pretty good

#

or it will be

pallid quiver
#

They should overcompensate and make it so strong, it's better than S1 War Within trinkets

lusty grotto
#

xD

#

i mean they should

#

its void related

it'd be funny

Is there a quick/easy way to see what hurt you during a key?

Let's say you are doing a pack and something just chunks you, not necessarily killing you but clearly that should be mitigated in some way. Is there a quick way to see what it was called so you can prepare for it next time?

blazing condor
#

looking at the log is the best way

#

but not the fastest

#

look at Details for the current fight and see your damage taken

and if you see one ability that hit once and did 80% hp then you know

ionic fern
#

Generally speaking - any casters, any bleeds.

#

That's about it.

#

If you have some specific pack in mind, we can probably tell you what it is.

#

You can also check MDT and see which mobs cast etc.

#

This season its probably the packs with the dogs in TOTT that have the biggest rinse factor

#

at least when you first do it

fringe lava
blazing condor
#

because you dont expect the small dogs to chunk you so much

fringe lava
#

I guess it's an experience factor, but I only want to need one try for experience before I know what to look for 😁

blazing condor
#

a lot of it is just experience yeah

#

but good to know what to expect okayge

fringe lava
#

I imagine the Oakheart boss in DHT has a learning curve for the grip? Because I've seen so many tanks get absolutely smashed on that in keys 15-20

ionic fern
#

You just have to rotate defensives properly.

#

Once you get the hang of that, it's np.

grim pilot
#

Leap from the frontal and check pins for proper rotation and vod of it

ionic fern
#

And then you hope that the healer knows that he's supposed to pay a bit attention to you on it.

fringe lava
#

SR is Spell Reflect?

deft hinge
#

fringe lava
#

Cool 😁

#

I found the nifty Spell Reflect Weakaura, is there one for Spell Block or do you use that differently?

ionic fern
#

No idea, for me it's just experience.

fringe lava

I assumed that was the case 🙂
Thanks for all the feedback!

Hello. Is there any special trick we can use in BRH to help avoid anyone dying in the pull when Commander Shemdahson(sp?) and his pack appears? I seem to be missing something here.

ionic fern
#

Is that the one before the gates open to the 2nd boss?

solemn kelp
#

Yeah, where everyone los behind the pillar

ionic fern
#

That's about it.

#

Everyone LoS'es.

#

What exactly is the issue you're facing?

#

-Everyone LoS
-Mobs run to you, you TC

#

You can also be outside and Heroic Throw/Taunt/TC beforehand and then LOS.

#

To grab initial agro.

solemn kelp
#

Can't say specifically, almost every BRH run I go on someone dies when the pack arrives. I've tried putting down a ravager, CS. But TC alone doesnt seem to cut it.

#

Was wondering if I was missing something but I guess I'm just being unlucky with my group(s).

ionic fern
#

There's a chance that some of the mobs are running from the otherside of the pillar, so they might slap someone.

#

More than likely your DPS just starts attacking before you get your initial TC off

#

This holds especially true with ranged DPS'ers.

solemn kelp
#

Alright. I'm not failing then.

then when do they fit 10.2.7 in june around ff14 launch?

we should expect a may release

that will be absolutely garbage then

will it?

why

because that means that 10.2.6 is considered a full fledged patch which is is not

what did this patch bring apart from pluderstorm

and i say that as a player that plays plunderstorm

because it is Plunderstorm patch

i'll state a deeply unpopular opinion but that is full yikes then

actually nevermind 10.2.7 can come in may as well as they will not base the launch on the start of season 4 but the start of the previous patch most likely

Correct

They're minigame patch releases

Not full fledged patches

10.2.6 came with the s4 item files

I have a 483 gholak, a 489 weapon from dawn and 483 shield. Trinkets are 489 crab and 483 fire serpent thing. I have full HC raid and m+ slots in vault. Would you open as prot to try and get 489 shield/ rageheart or as arms for augary/signet brand?

You should be able to just pug Gnarl for a max ilvl shield with best stats

id rather do a 15 thats as hard as a 20 because it took me less seperate pug shit shows to get there

hard vault choice upgrades, a 23 ilvl pants upgrade for same tier piece (from 447 to 470), or replacing one of my trinkets with a different one thats 19 ilvl higher

current trinkets are 454 Nightmare Egg Shell (Veteran 5/8) and 454 Gore-Crusted Butcher's Block (Champion 1/8), which I could replace one with 473 Ember of Nullification (Hero 3/6)

strong forum
#

pants

#

but also doesnt matter really what you pick as all these items are farmable from m+ by trying to do higher keys if you can

#

so ultimately you will replace all the items you currently wear, including these vault options, by getting into higher keys!

#

(17+)

#

as long as you keep at it, but generally its recommended to upgrade armor items first, trinkets (unless literal bis (which doesnt come from m+)) usually not

nope

#

gholak wins since cantrip

torn gulch
#

gholak will prob win both single and multi

lusty grotto
#

the other 2 lose stats

#

since they arent cantrip

#

unless they nerf the effect, it will win every time

gholak has 2k dps over pogstorm in ST
