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

Peak goof
Amen
literally look up the definition of battle royale
boomers are in shambles now i guess
if you dont like battle royale, just dont play it, problem solved 
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
first time playing BRs?
Invisibility bank?
I ask myself that often
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?
are they the same trinket?
oh i cant read
they are
then no
we dont really care about tertiarys
how many more?
ah fair
im just happy mines over 
not happy there about the silver cutlass being a 2 hander, and they give a tone of 1 hand weps but no shield tmog

I havent looked into the appearances to much
ive just been checking out the ones I unlock as I get them
that one goes pretty good
Literally the shield I use already bc my warrior mog has been pirate themed forever (I am so happy for the event rewards I finally get my pirate mount for Dragon riding)
You're at 40 already? Tf
yer it take no time at all
like a day
so like 8-12 hours
I've played that long probably and I'm at 13

KEKW
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
honestly u dont need to be good and pvp to be good at this pvp
which is basically what u ahve to do to tank
My average is probably like 500some per game
After the buffs?
youll get there ghash as long as your enjoying it then its fine
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
Is battle stance still default? Or is def the Way to go?
Aways sit in battle stance. Def stance is like a cooldown you can use all the time when you need it. Flip into it when it's absolutely necessary otherwise just take the extra damage from battle stance
There deffo is, id look in the macro channel. Id send mine but am not at my PC rn
Tell a lie, just look at the pins here mate
Cheers😂
No
Fun banned
someone get me the sonic comic robot planting the sign that says no fun allowed
there is one in pins
is there any kind of rank list for season 4 yet, next is season 4 right
havent played retail in a while trying to look ahead as i think this seasons almost over?
floof dog best
Thanks for the assist, boss
If you mean like a tier list, no, but it'll probably still be similar to now since there's not really major changes
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
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
The real enemy is always community perception
@jagged pier I almost won 
My best so far is a third with 2400 points, pretty proud of that when I can't land an auto to save my life
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.
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....
Ayyye so close ghash! you'll get one!
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 
what is going on with the services channel being reenabled every single fucking time i log into wow
its aids in illidan jesus christ
log on an alt, they are enabled
disable them
log on main then they are magically enabled again
disabling them once again
welcome to a new patch
rinse and repeat, the fuck is going on
hey if im not that rich to buy the grand banquet of kalu ek then what is the next best feast in line?
none
just buy the fortune cards
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
Use eggs anyway. They're cheaper.
true and real
brew a real menace
Go for a win with no holy shield
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
Poke?
Searing axe is actually savage. Just can be hard to land
the fact that it interrupts makes it so good!
Yeah
Ah
is yogi back yet
Is he gone?

i wonder how long it'll be until hes back
im p sure he's like the girl in 50 first dates
there comes a day where his brain just resets to previous checkpoint
and it starts all over again
lol
maybe he found another class discord to post his obscure old games on
or his doom stuff
skyhold 2
lol
dont say his name 3 times or he'll be back


< 3
Yeah sometimes the spawn rng is rough
Storm Archon is legit garbage tbh
@dusky canopy nuuuu
is council tank trinket bugged somehow? i did 2 dungeons and it never procs, and on the tank dummy too.
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
this was last key
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/CXN46hKaP7YpTQW2 just a 19 fall with my alt
ye its bugged
i only have pip as other trinket, shouldi play with that instead?
compared to a trinket that does nothing? yea prolly
xD and i farmed for that too today
Can you clarify which trinket you're talking about? That log doesn't show your gear
ursine
ah
Next one for sure
So close homie! you got it soon
LOL
ezpz
And someone was arguing with me yesterday that plunderstorm was where the most toxic behaviour was

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
I mean number 1 they already have datamined recolours
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
And number 2 as i said, its your choice to colect it
yea fr
Yer i dunno was like talking to a wall
so weird lmao
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
🤷
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
Bad takes are bad 
or in pug raids
I haven't experienced any toxicity in plunderstorm and I've played for hours every day since it came out
^^
oh right they block it
I talked once to a level 8 that me and my level 3 friend were hiding
i forgot lmaoooo
with
but i know plunderstorm doesnt have that
I guess the text-based is proximity-based
but yeah
You can only use say/yell which are both distance limited iirc
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
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
Pretty sure most people saying it's "toxic" just mean they're bad at PvP/don't want to PvP and are getting killed
thats exactly what it is
but yeah idk, even when I'm not actively avoiding PvP, I can go like 5 minutes without seeing someone else
while I just level up
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
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
still renown 13 on that 
but they want that grind done asap
What color underpants do you think is most common in Azeroth?
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
Just let your BDK solotank tindral, and you handle your sets of shrooms with warrior CDs. Ez pz, gg wp.
If you got no BDK, make sure curse/poision and a DK aa slow is on Tindral - to minimize the stackbuildup
I do have a BDK co-tank
Will need to taunt swap stacks tho right?
green red green red and spell block, that it
Maybe once in p3
Amazing, ty
On mythic that is
Seems to be going well so far with that change

Well, for the first 30 seconds, first time guild prog on this boss, its not fun
once in p3, when he have like 9-10
Once you get to p3 is falls over
we been in p3 since pull 150

It be the life of going to p3 every 10 pulls. 4/10 being - boom, boom, boom-boom. Healers gonna boom, booming forever, forever gonna boom.
first part of progress inst getting to p3, its getting consistent in p1 and p2

Ghash putting the polls to work already
I felt that it was a worthy question
my question wasn't worthy of a response, tho smh
That's why I'm watching fight game tournaments now
what question
Not pinging people = no one answers you
Better PUG tank to have as second character: pally or DK?
pally
pala is historically the pug carry tank
if you're opting for pug
I would just straight up go vdh for this and next season
if that's a measurement for you
which is like 6months or more of gameplay
hate to see it, he eventually was forced to tank
I saw that at a glance, but I didn't really comprehend it
or well, the bear jsut got 1shot by chronoshear afterwards
I was busy loosing my mind at a fight game tournament
idk its ass if you've got lots of mobs on you as pwar, I dont wanna risk getting meleed in the back
whole boss fight?
yeah
I almost depleted
i was the only one soaking when mobs were up
xd
SW go brr
nah I didnt
we finished first area wit hlike
8 mins on the timer
bc we wiped on first boss
sick
not to mention
we missed 2 chest
cuz spriest did fuckall ST
ret and sham
are premade
with me
sham was on some shitty alt
hes a good player in general
how did the ret do 410k xdd
Man, makes me feel the urge to play my Enha
but then I'd have to play the game smh
ic
Get past max number of flame shock targets, just gotta salute the rest of the non-capped DPS as they soar to the heavens as you beat a single mother fucker to death
whatever
but dh dps needs weeklies
idc
2h protection DPS warrior, aint it, if ya madlads ever wondered
colour me almost surprised
So... thinking ahead to Season 4; Seal of Diurna's Chosen + Cataclysmic Signet Brand + Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart = BiS?
boo
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
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
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 (
), Grannyth's Enduring Scale, Idol of Trampling Hooves, Homeland Raid Horn, Inexorable Resonator (
)
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"
I don't like Blazebinder's Hoof. No Pri.
this is the full list of nerfs and buffs so far
like we have no idea how inexorable was reworked and shit
we do
item data is available
That Dreadplate change is interesting
i cant fucking remember what it did originally
basically nothing so not relevant
it's better than it was but still not very good
i know
granyth's looks definitely usable
probably like
rageheart>granyth>splinter
for that genre of trink
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
I actually ran that for a while in Season 1
Because Trinkets basically don't exiist for me
or do you mean granyth
No, I meant Season 2
hehe
i looted that trinket like
2nd or 3rd week
never used it
and of course trinkets also dont exist for me
I had it week 2; had nothing else for like 2 months after
eventually got anvil and OCE combo though
cant remember what i used, but def didnt use dreadplates
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
same for signet
except you dont activate it, its automatic within a certain timeframe
They should overcompensate and make it so strong, it's better than S1 War Within trinkets
it'd be funny
a trinket with a story tie-in
kind of like you know the SP artifact dagger cough cough
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?
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
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.
That could work for me actually, good tip!
I am just getting back into tanking again and haven't played since early S2.
In S2 I fondly remember a pack in Freehold where I got rinsed and couldn't figure out why 😂
This season its probably the packs with the dogs in TOTT that have the biggest rinse factor
at least when you first do it
Yea, I wanted a way to see what the hit was called so that I can look for it in MDT 🙂
because you dont expect the small dogs to chunk you so much
Yes that is my fear 😂
I guess it's an experience factor, but I only want to need one try for experience before I know what to look for 😁
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
Leap from the frontal and check pins for proper rotation and vod of it
And then you hope that the healer knows that he's supposed to pay a bit attention to you on it.
SR is Spell Reflect?
y
Cool 😁
I found the nifty Spell Reflect Weakaura, is there one for Spell Block or do you use that differently?
No idea, for me it's just experience.
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.
Is that the one before the gates open to the 2nd boss?
Yeah, where everyone los behind the pillar
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.
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).
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.
Does this show as 0 to 0 for anyone else lol? Maybe a mobile bug
6-2
oh no, my vote is shown
It even yelled at me about the results in my Discord inbox

I completely forgot Discord had an inbox
@ionic fern congrats on your victory
also ghash, get me into a heroic raid i can afk to the end in, kthx
ghash has forsaken me... hate to see it
Huh?
Also,hello,hope you are doing well.
huh
I forgot how hard Laro swats you after the charge when your co-tank takes about 3 minutes to find their taunt button
I made a poll asking if you were the cutest val'kyr and it was a resounding yes. I am doing pretty well; hope you are too!
rigged
Why is Vers better on fury than prot
vers is the same amount of "absolute good" on every spec
Tanks take damage in a diffeeent way than Dps
you have to ask why crit is worse on fury than prot
Haste is prots best stat while Haste is furys worst
fury doesnt need haste anymore
you have 100% enrage uptime for free
tier doesnt really interact with haste
Oh come on, not #protection fury discussion again. It is always a headache
vers mastery gets you the 3 hardest hititng BBs possible
Playing fury when all your gear is min maxed for arms 
I ended up crafting 2 more embellishments and 2 rings to help swing my stats properly but it’s still pretty bad
I sim like 235 as fury and 251 as arms
The current implementation of Arms feels terrible to play
i like it 🙂
I also like it
Fury imo, is very boring
Also I tend to spam more when I play fury so hands hurt lol
Wrong
Really not.
Arms feels like there's 3 different playstyles trapped in a sack and fighting each other
hate build diversity
the build diversity is what - execute vs bladestorm?
Probably referring to Bladestorm vs juggernaut vs fervor but how dare a spec have different small differences that you can choose from.
What's the recommended spell reflect weakaura? I see a few options
Is ursine vengeance bugged? Just did a dungeon where it wasn't on the details meter at all
all three war specs are bad because i don't get to press execute as much as i want
Yes
It has not worked all week
yeah ursine vengeance doesnt work at all currently
Oh, damn. Now i'm blushing.
it got to him
He could no longer blind himself to how beloved he is
we love you, mwahi
heres my answer


Mod abuse
Cant believe youve done this
I've barely played retail this last week, didn't even notice until I checked today lol
Ya I’m not like trying to shit on you
Just letting you know it’s happened since reset and we don’t know why
Has it been acknowledged anywhere, or should I go hunting for an alternative?
Surely they’ll fix it 
🍝
They'll fix it right after they make hpal fun to play again
It will probably get fixed soonTM
And then broken again like usual
That trinket is a mess
but blizzard loves buggy stuffs
Ursine even when working properly wasnt great trinket 🤷♂️
I'm sorry Late. Maybe the two no votes were on your side
Woah didnt even inclyde options just yes no
Lol, listen man I just came up with it in 2 seconds when discord said i could use polls
"Spell reflect essentials (dragonflight)" is what I have, it works really well
sooner the better
nah
Im ready to do some DF dungeons again
I didnt get lego until after we killed Mythic Fyrakk.... I got enough copium to hope for a April release

You sure? That sounds not right
that is correct
My first mythic kill was 18 weeks ago according to r.io
Plus arguably the week before that
That's what I went with lol
14/15th may will be new season
hm
this ptr does not take more than 4 weeks
for a fated season
what makes you think s4 releases before plunderstorm ends
just because ptr is going up?
plunderstorm ends on april 27 right?
30th
okay yeah sorry 19 weeks
that will be absolutely garbage then
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
And dungeon changes already
so april 30 for season 4 then somewhere in may for 10.2.7 (panda timerunning and quests that set up the new xpac)
Something like that
fair enough kinda late but fair enough

Start farming meta achivement
When you get 2-4k per duo it actually is feasible
But idk man isnt that like 200 hours of gameplay lol
still not gunna do it
I got plunder 40 on day 3, I had a good time while doing it but I haven't and prob won't play any more
I'm trying my best to get at least 1 match in a day, hopefully I won't have to grind too hard before it comes to a close
maybe second plunder buff to ease the pain
Excuses
3 days wtf
How to burn oneself out on a gaming experience lol
Any video game is a gaming experience, even if you think it's bad
That's like me calling asparagus "not a food"
It's interesting to me how, when someone else uses the earthquake aoe, it has a seven MILE radius outside of the visible marker
nah your probably in the air
and wow doesnt update your position until your on the ground
so if your trying to get out with jumping, dont
I did it in roughly 12-14 hours it’s really not bad for people who make it to the end frequently
It totally sucks for people who average 500 plunder or less a game
Just gotta figure out how to land next to all of the elites and afkers so I'm lvl 9 like a minute into it lol
Yeah my strat is to land in an elite dense area and fight for control of it
Usually level 5 or 6 in the first 2 minutes of the match
That will snowball you the rest of the match if you can stay consistent
see funny thing is wowhead says dont drop in the village to the right
And duos is much faster if you can find a friend
I finished around lunch on day 3 so 2.5 days maybe? 7 wins. After the buffs I was getting 4000+ for a win. I had great fun the whole time, but it's not complex enough to make me want more. It was fun bite size and I got out while was still fun
I’m going to keep playing duos with my friends that haven’t hit 40 yet but I don’t think I’ll spend much more time in solo
im not going in again
It’s a lot of fun for sure but the reward track was motivating me to keep playing
If there was a ladder or visible MMR I could be convinced
Personally I’d rather their be no mmr
But everything outside the gameplay is non existent. Barebones
I’m fine getting totally schooled some matches but also doing the schooling in others
It’s more fun that way
There is MMR
Everything needing to be fare is boring
But hidden
I know
yer theres MMR
I’m just saying
its 'fixed'
Idk how accurate the mmr is when you go on 3 or 4 win streaks with your duo partner
I know we’re not that good lmao
especially if they're factoring in connection as part of their results, because then all bets are off
10 ping vs 200 is rough for sure
People teleporting is fun to watch
Tbf teleporting is probably way more than 200 ping
Let couple games I played people started doing this shit where they DC or run into storm when about to lose, to deny you the loot
Smh
Yeah I was running into that too
I just chase them down
If I know I can live the storm for a bit
Talk about cringe behavior lmao
brother this was my life in fight game lands earlier
worst part was the character already has teleports as part of his toolset
You can tell when you get a lot of anti-pvpers running into storms in a match when it's only halfway through the timer, but every mob is dead and somehow everyone's still running around with shitty lvl1 or 2 powers
I went in to a solo match day before yesterday and it only had 30 people in it
Wtf lol
I've only played solos so far. Some of the matches are day and night in terms of how well they play out
Getting better at the pvp part though
Killed someone 2 lvls above me with just the fish, stealth blink and faeform
Yeah I'm getting better as well. Definitely depends on what shit you get though
One match I got stuck with star bomb and earthbreaker
Could not get another spell to save my life
I keep seeing people wreck with earthbreaker and I can never get it to work well for me
My best run was with holy shield, slicing winds, faeform and the tornado stun
I like holy shield. Slicing Winds is really cool too because you can charge it and fly through without opening yourself to counterattack
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
theoretically, according to myth
I'd personally really go for any kind of proper trinkets as a result myself
It has been [ZERO] days since I have been kicked from a Raid Group because the other tank fucked the mechanic up
"U died first"
Yes, that's because the other tank didn't taunt volcoross for jaws
"But u died fiirst"
sigh
hate installing dbm to taunt for you
I left before I could get kicked when the Laro thing happened to me earlier
also because holy fuck, i ain't about whatever was going on in that group
so what's the go to enchant for prot in M+ now? i remember reading some people say wafting was better somehow, but i've been running sophic.
sim
how do we sim M+ nowadays?
5 target patchwerk, lust, 1.5 or 1 min
when are we dropping
Lol we can do some tomorrow if you want. I'm settling down for bed atm
Can someone please have a look through this log for me and tell me what I am doing wrong? I felt like I was playing ok but we depleted because I felt like I just wasn't getting healed enough? Idk am I crazy?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/zcfw971APhRjCZ6t#fight=last
Still dont know why ppl are suprised by this it was datamined in s1
Gladiator stance would be either OP or complete garbage in retail
I think will be... I dunno... if in raid then when you are not the one tanking it's nice 10% boost is definitely big but in M+.... I am not sure reducing armor 30% and lowering threat generation is a good idea.
it just wouldn't work
cause its essentially a half dps half tank
i mean id like to see it
to tank low keys and still do dam
but i can see how unhealthy it is
although they could just leave it garbage forever
and only be there for fun like smf
Make it so you can stance swap in raid 
Have your bdk solo tank (which they do anyway already)
And you are glad stance for 90% of the fight

Why complain about a stance in a different game?
I keep thinking about maybe messing with season of discovery
But then I realize I don't really have anyone to play it with, and I'm not sure if it'd keep my interest solo/pugging
it is done, now just wait till Blizz fixes bugged mount 
All this time and THIS is where they give us Glad back?
Well kind of, in SOD
im pretty stoked about it
and the sword and board talent
makes the prot tree worth considering
I haven't really messed with SoD, feels too far behind considering I'd be pugging/soloing all of it.
Wouldn't know, but wow always have let people catch up given minimum effort. So don't let that hold you back

SoD is very easy to catchup
gold and exp wise (50%-100% gains till max level!)
its just finding players you want to play with; pointless to be soloing in SoD IMO
especially when you could be plundering
only thing im plundering is my future by not getting my life together 
plunder dn

Does anyone have any tips for surviving the spider hallway in brh on high keys?
My strat has been, healer dispels the first time my health spikes from teh dot, then i dwarf the next time i see it, then healer dispels again, then pray enough is dead
but yesterday I just got full 100->0 from 1 set of stacks lol
Do you press shield wall and demo shout in there somewhere?
yep
Hit in the back?
if i need to be playing around dots hitting me in the back, ive been doing something wrong 🙃
but yeah, had dstance, shield wall, demo, spell reflect, spell block, last stand (tbh i have no idea if spellblock or reflect dr it at all but ya know its not like i need either in the hallway or next room anyways)
Using any kind of big absorb helps reduce stack gain i.e. fyrakk trinket / cocoon
spell reflect gives you dr for all magic dmg
anybody else having issues with their target reticles disappearing?
Frankly that dot was tuned silly this time around
It was insignificant in Legion and now it's straight up fatal
ya was fortified 28 so i guess that was the point where it was a problem lol
I talked to a friend who recommended the absorb shield thing too so just going to have leaf going into it in the future (and maybe this week will be the first rageheart i see all tier =X)
upside i guess is that when it drops i just get it which is pog
yep second the absorb. THey dont apply stacks until you actually lose health from their attack
You can reduce the amount of stacks by using ravager to parry some of them, then ya do what ya already done
Rav does what
funkykitty is on the wrong expansion
there hasnt been parry added with ravager for a while
That's what I thought
can I loot fyralath in prot loot spec
yes
🫡
can confirm
damn some good stuff for halls of infusion
checkpoint on frog boss and only one cast away phase on primal tsunami
thank fucking god
yummy
they did other nerfs and QoL as well
but still needs a bit more changes
in infusions
like dog said
yeah idk why they nerfed BH
donde patch notes
ty pookie
brackenhide after nerfs was ok
that diurna ring on heroic fated is myth track holy smokes
so good
theoretically you could get more than 1 water phase on last boss
if you do some sanguine shenanigans
and it was already almost last
I sure look forward to first boss cutitng my framerate in half each time
anything that is mythic difficulty, is also in mythic+

Oh they've nerfed Crawth's peck attack. AA is going to be a good key, that was the pain point
Oh and the charge trinket is removed on the final boss of Neltharus... that'll help with pugging
yeah i realised but cba to go back and change again
mixed up cus different loot-tables in dungeon guide from mythic and m+
then its still pogging
The bleed in Uldaman is still there. Still my worst dungeon.
thats not uldaman's problem
Eh
Yeah I don't mind basilisk bleed; it's what, 2 pulls in the dungeon? 3 pulls?
if you pull 2 by 2 by 2 youre gonna get fucked
no it's not if you're not a dwarf and have no evoker.
yeah kiting is the most satisfying experience as a tank, totally fills the fantasy !
In my old static the play we used was to Earth Elemental the first pack of Basilisks
Same as how we dealt with the adds on the tree in AA
That tactic works on the spiders in BRH as well
literally the best way
to do basilisks
is to pull every single one
and play stops
first pull, first 3 pulls, it doesnt matter
its literally NOT why uldaman is shit
uldaman is shit because its too long, timer is too tight, and it's extremely limited in terms of routing
you do the entire dungeon correctly and then fuck up on emberon? guess what you just wasted half an hour to 40 minutes
So im reading these keystone changes, 20 is still best for vault?
imagine if you had to do 20s next season for the best vault reward
+30 or bust, idiots, get good
these are ptr notes sully
yeah just a little lost by some of it lol, personaly i hate the reward system for vault, i also think less levels of key with harsher scaling is better so im hoping i dont have pug 18s - 20s next season for it
id rather do a 15 thats as hard as a 20 because it took me less seperate pug shit shows to get there
but im reading that theres no time until 10? but then you get mythic gear at 8 lol...so it sounds like i need to wait for an offical blue post cause this sounds too easy
A +2 is gonna be the same as a +12 now
as in difficulty is equvalnt gear
An M0 is a +10, but no timer
not this seasons 2 is last seasons 12 shit felt super easy this season was doing 18s week 1 hence my confusion lol
Heroics are now as hard as M0
Yeah, Heroics are harder, M0s are harder, M+ levels are the equivalent of now +10 levels, so new +2 is a now +12
im with it
its be rough for a week or two till people get stuck in there places hopefully
tired of running 18s and people dont know mechanics. the time dungeons are the worst with that
S4 M+8 gives you Mythic Track 1/4, but S4 M+10 is best for 2/4 if you can do it and save yourself crests early season.
same as in previous seasons
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)
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
awesome thanks for the reply!
time to run some weapon sims for next season 528 gholak vs 528 strike twice vs 528 pogstorm
gholak will prob win both single and multi
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
i like numbers
with dinar items going all the way up to 4/4 myth straight gholak and rageheart
rageheart dmg is nerfed so
i played with lfr rageheart all season
gholak yes, trinkets are still debatable
gholak...
its not even close
common sense > sim
strike twice is the best weapon from keys
