Lol Kurog kill dropped 2 alltotems, both tanks got one nice start of the season

#

heroic Kurog just to say šŸ˜„

strong forum
#

Ez clap

spark cedar
#

Do we want to keep any trinket from prev season? like Fyrakks rageheart šŸ¤”

waxen frigate
#

Cheat if you need cheat ever

#

Everything else is replaceable

tawny briar
#

Can you still get the cheat from DOTI this tier? at champion/hero?

steel mist
#

yes you can

iron pumice
#

I just got s3 tier from my timewalking box, this game is so shit

tawny briar
#

I had read the timwalking was bugged and giving ppl much lower ilvl

waxen frigate
#

It’s supposedly fixed

#

Last I’d heard

iron pumice
#

it gave me 441 curio im going to turn it in to see if it gives me s4 gear but im assuming its not going too

#

one sec

waxen frigate
#

Well that’s a s2 tier

#

But no thats just a rip

#

Submit a ticket

#

Keep appealing until you get a real human being

hardy snow
iron pumice
#

so much pain

swift delta
#

Is this any good?

waxen frigate
#

No lmao

#

Maybe better than lower iLvl shield for now

hardy snow
#

its good for start, before you get something on higher ilvl

waxen frigate
#

But idk if the armor and block are scaled equivalent to modern items

hardy snow
#

yea, stats are correct

waxen frigate
#

Ok so you’re just losing secondaries

#

I’d use it for the block value

#

But replace asap

swift delta
#

okay, ty both!

waxen frigate
#

Don’t use the leech sword if you get that from TW though that shit sucks LMAO

hardy snow
#

I will use old gholak until I buy new gholak for bullions wicked

torn gulch
hardy snow
#

yup, and then two voti rings hmmNod

dusky canopy
#

Gm homies

#

Anybody pug heroic yet how easy is it?

jagged pier
#

just going it with guild rather than pug

#

ppl arent doing mythic very fast

urban portal
#

its not trivial

#

echo fell off

#

dusky canopy
#

Sadly my guild isn’t doing S4

#

So I’m SoL

#

For now

jagged pier
#

well they havent raided yet

shut summit
#

mythic actually has hp so you hafta do mechanics cuz undergeared

#

aka time to not play s4

jagged pier
waxen frigate
#

Free mythic box

jagged pier
#

did get that 10% nerf tho

shut summit
#

yep we did first 2 and quit for the week

blazing condor
#

one raid cycle a week or what?

#

some ppl talked about mixing bosses in raids but guess that wasn't a thing

jagged pier
#

its like SL fated

#

only 1 raid

blazing condor
#

yeah makes sense

mystic radish
#

How bad are the vers wrist? wanna craft them first for arms offspecc

median tulip
#

Which dungeons this season drop Shields?

cerulean tusk
#

No clue, ya can go into dung journal, filter for shields

#

🫔

median tulip
#

That would require me to be at home, though

cerulean tusk
#

Ya can go to wowhead, filter loot by shield

#

🫔

jesus christ rng is with me today

violet ginkgo
#

oh thank god I check the pinned first, thx mwahi for updating the bullion purchase priority

hardy snow
#

If dreadplate now explodes no matter what, would it be viable on dps spec? not as bulion expense, but if it just drops šŸ¤”

violet ginkgo
#

Also I want to ask... those 2 rings which got effect from vault always activate when we deal fire damage. How can we deal the fire damage? via augury? or the shadowflame patch is count as fire?

mystic radish
#

Imma add one more question:
Will the Belt be >> Shadow Flame if you get the flame rings ?

torn gulch
#

shadowflame damage triggers the rings i tested on ptr

#

so weapon, embelishments, rageheart

dusky canopy
#

The shadowflame embellish procs the rings

#

Does Lego do fire damage? I actually never even bothered to look lol

#

Yeah Lego should also proc it

dusky canopy
urban portal
#

isnt dreadplates true uncapped

#

Hey! Could people share their keybinds with me? My hand is hurting from Prot, hopefully some better keybinds will fix it.

warm plinth
#

Do you have a mouse with extra buttons?

violet ginkgo
#

No Will.

gaunt perch
#

2 extra buttons:P

warm plinth
#

I'd suggest making those two extra buttons modifiers (ctrl, alt, or shift) and using a smaller group of buttons on the keyboard with modifiers.

#

Keep your main rotational abilities without modifiers, but anything else can be added to the same keys as a mod

#

Alternatively, it can be a good idea to put IP on one of those, since that's probably causing a lot of the strain

gaunt perch
#

I already have that, the problem I'm having is Ignore Pain, Shield Block, Shield Slam and Thunder clap, I'm not sure where to put them

warm plinth
#

where are they now?

gaunt perch
#

Sec

warm plinth
#

ok so right now, your TC and SS are the mouse buttons, and then revenge is shift+mouse button, right?

gaunt perch
#

Yes

warm plinth
#

Is it your mouse hand that's hurting? Or your keyboard hand?

gaunt perch
#

Both ._.

#

I tried having them on 123

#

But that was bad for the other hand

#

So it's like.. which hand do I want to hurt

warm plinth
#

What I'd do is try to space the often used abilities out where your hand rests naturally

#

So like TC on Q, SS on R, then IP on like F or something easy to spam

#

That way you're not doing anything weird with your hand to hit them

gaunt perch
#

Think I found a good setup right now actually, Shield slam on 2, ignore pain on 3, shield block on 1 and thunder clap on 2

#

Would barely have to move fingers to touch important things and the most spamym are like.. okay there I think

warm plinth
#

Yeah try that then for a bit and see if it helps. I'd highly suggest getting a mouse with more buttons though so you can separate the keybinds more

#

We have a lot of them and we're fast too so you gotta adapt for that

gaunt perch
#

I had one a few years back but I play a lot of FPS games too so I don't wanna have to constantly swap between the two of them ._.'

warm plinth
#

There's a Razer? I think that has swappable side plates

gaunt perch
#

Yeah but the Naga or whatever it's name is just isn't very good for shooters

warm plinth
#

Ah okay

gaunt perch
#

The Sensor is super bad and it goes to like 500 hz max or smth:P

warm plinth
#

Gotcha

#

Well, guess that's not an option then lol

gaunt perch
#

I really appreciate the help with the keybinds though!!

#

Gonna try this for a bit

#

See how it feels^^

warm plinth
#

No worries, hope things improve

gaunt perch
#

Used to play BDK so it's.. very.. different

warm plinth
#

For sure, I've played BDK as well and it's definitely more chill lol

#

Pwar is like LETSGOOO

#

Although weirdly enough, pwar doesn't hurt my hand, but fury does lol

gaunt perch
jovial sorrel
#

I macro'd Shield Block before Shield Slam and put Ignore Pain on my Mouse wheel down.

#

It's probably not the most efficient, but the uptime is taken care of.

#

I also play BDK and Prot, so I needed less binds.

echo egret
#

Burgeoning Seed, what's that worth ? 502 vs my 486 trinkets

jagged pier
#

u dont ever macro SB and SS as 1 key bind

#

u can add SS after SB to snipe SS resets

#

but u still have a SS bind

strong forum
#

for dps to use it

#

but maybe?

#

it can do up to 3mil per use

jovial sorrel
#

I have the sniping set up for IP resetting SS, I'll have to set it up for SB -> SS.
I assumed I was only causing a small amount of rage inefficiency, am I losing something else as well?

urban bane
#

Did they make chargath's fiery focus unblockable?

strong forum
#

it just always happens

urban bane
#

oh i see, the new component of it

#

which wasnt there in s2

dusky canopy
#

Works like a charm

#

I play at 1300dpi personally but it cranks up to like 16k

gaunt perch
#

I only play on 1k dpi

#

But I prefer stuff abov 1k hz:P

#

250hz feels awful

dusky canopy
#

Sure let me find it and I’ll dm it to ya

gaunt perch
#

Thanks!

dusky canopy
#

Sent it to ya

#

Apparently price is hiked must be a new model

#

So it’s closer to 60usd

errant fern
shut summit
#

he facefucks hard now its kinda stupid

dark barn
#

Can someone explain why wowhead and icyveins guides are saying treemouth is better than rageheart? Rageheart synergizes with eranog and diurna's rings

dusky canopy
#

Are you playing a defensive trinket to try and be offensive with it or are you playing a defensive trinket to live

humble schooner
#

isn't treemouth a lower CD ?

#

rageheart is probably better once you get the rings

torn gulch
#

on a 8 neltharus chargat fiery focus made me feel like tom the cat getting hit by the telephone pole again and again
holy smokes that damage

pallid quiver
#

so

#

er, now shadowflame embel

#

frostfire belt

dark barn
#

@dusky canopy just to live @humble schooner same cooldown

torn gulch
pallid quiver
#

It doesn't give any value beyond that; treemouth also is more defensive benefit when you press it compared to rageheart if you're using it for defensive

ionic nimbus
#

Mainstat vs Vers, Short CD, u should have enough fire Dmg to procc the Ring without RH

pallid quiver
dark barn
#

I see, thanks i will farm treemouth

#

One less bullian to spend

dusky canopy
pallid quiver
#

You should just farm raid DPS trinkets unless you're doing some real scary content

dusky canopy
#

That’s why it’s suggested

dark barn
#

Equinox monk said he prefers the nokhud trinket dont know why exactly let me saw again. I was trying to learn with equinox cause theres just zero prot war making content for s4

humble schooner
#

was just looking at Nokhud trinket, seems better but also worse than before

pallid quiver
#

I mean, Nome's streaming literally right now

humble schooner
pallid quiver
#

though nome's on a shimmy sham atm

dark barn
#

I guess people are more on treemotuh because the difference of cooldown

timber nest
#

how is fiery focus intended to be done in neltharus? i understand they changed it from season 1 so it only hits the tank now

#

but i get 2 shot @ level 10

ionic nimbus
#

30 sec less CD is a huge difference

dusky canopy
#

You need to defensive to live it now

strong forum
#

and that decoration of flame is a good trinket

#

when theyre both the worst trinkets of their respective patch

warm plinth
#

Wasn't he also singing the praises of Codex when Tazavesh was current

strong forum
#

dude praises anything that gives you a details bar

dusky canopy
warm plinth
#

ngl though, if egg sac was a str trinket it actually would've been quite good

strong forum
#

it would be as good as resonator is this patch

warm plinth
#

Yeah

strong forum
#

random shield proc

warm plinth
#

You're a random shield proc

#

gottem

waxen frigate
#

Or maybe that’s better I guess

strong forum
#

so does eggsac

waxen frigate
#

Depends on pov

strong forum
#

also no

waxen frigate
#

Ngl I don’t actually know how sac works

strong forum
#

resonator cant proc if you are already below 75%

waxen frigate
#

Oh

#

Didn’t know that

strong forum
#

yeah thats why i rated it D-tier instead of C or B

#

cuz otherwise it would be a solid trinket

raw plover
#

Is it worth it to not use the tier gear when we get new higher non tier lvl gear?

strong forum
#

If it's ~30ilvl higher on 2 items yeah

torn gulch
#

this is actually crazy i got 9 items in m+ today

#

including a double drop in one dungeon

#

two identical 506 chests

I got 1x 502 weapon

i've never seen a double drop in m+ before

The game is turbo bugged rn

echo egret

was I lucky or Chomp doesn't stack anymore in Uldaman ?

warm plinth
#

Lucky

echo egret
#

also, it seemed my Storm Bolt didn't stun the boss-that-must-be-stunned anymore ?

median tulip
#

so wait - even though S4 and S3 are the same bonuses, you can't combine the pieces to make 4 set?

tight sedge
median tulip
#

while half of my guild are rocking 2+2

#

GG blizz

tight sedge
#

Yeah I was a bit... meh about that too. Would have been nice to get something.

#

On the bright side, just got another half spark from end of dungeon chest so I can upgrade sth.

jagged pier
#

If they are different sets then its fine, some classes want 2+2

#

I bet they were seperated for when bliz was gunan do the tuning

#

But thyley ahvent done any

#

So

tight sedge
#

Wdym? Tuning is perfect!? All tanks are equal. Its nirvana out there.

night heron

Hello! Should I craft the engineering bracers or the blacksmithing bracers for shadowflame? Is there any difference?

Alright I just realized you can't embellish engi bracers, my question was dumb

How is prof doing compared to the other tanks?

#

Prot *

strong forum
#

Just as fine as in the other seasons

#

You're turbo tanky, but don't offer as much silencing capabilities as other tanks

#

We also deal a little less damage than bdk and vdhs

#

420

#

idk

#

turbo low

#

so?

#

ive healed +16s with 420ilvl last season xd

#

and you could tank +20s with 420 ilvl aswell

warm plinth
#

I thought they said on PTR that you couldn't mix/match tier sets

Yes, you can remove the stacks but it still takes 3 stuns to stun her

lusty grotto
#

hoi still fucking blows

#

but honestly its week 1 so we're outgeared

#

could have timed a 10 and wiped on last boss cause people broke the casters in different times so stops didnt align

dusky canopy
#

Nubs

#

Come on Nim we did a 24 back then

#

Surely can do a 10

lusty grotto
#

yeah easy 3rd boss is still an hps check

#

plus harder now since its outgearing our heals

#

luckily for us

#

sr still goes brrrr on last boss

prisma crane
#

wtb new SR choice node, either reflect all casts in the SR window or give 2 charges like the Legion lego

#

i still prefer true legion where both were true, but could be fun

lusty grotto
#

you mean reflective plating

prisma crane
#

yea

lusty grotto
#

yeah for sure would be awesome to have it back

prisma crane
#

if others can just fucking perma silence

#

i should be able to mega reflect

blazing condor

reflect this šŸ‘Š

😱 am

prisma crane
#

do you guys know, are the bullion gear upgrades just 1/12 with crests still?

#

i know the old dinars depended on difficulty where they're looted, but i dont see how that would work this time around

lusty grotto
#

pretty much

prisma crane
#

ok cool

lusty grotto
#

bullions have no difficulty distinction honestly

prisma crane
#

yea that's what i figured

#

which tbh for a bonus season is 10x better

lusty grotto
prisma crane
#

it should be a fun season, not some weird gated thing

grim pilot
#

feels actually

#

so hard to heal

#

like harder than in s2

lusty grotto
#

yyea

grim pilot
#

just tanked a 10

blazing condor
#

so hows this seasons tier set guys?

lusty grotto
#

lol

frail oar
#

heya, i know that shield ilvl is >> all, but i just got a bulwark of azzinoth 493 from the timewalking raid and i was wondering if it's worth keeping/upgrading when i have a 489 Desiccated Husk Shield. Just asking because of the no secondary stats

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

well

#

i wouldnt upgrade anything this week

#

but you should use it over the husk

#

since ilvl means it has more block value

#

what track is it? hero?

frail oar
#

champion

lusty grotto
#

would still use it, what are the timewalking stats

#

the ilvl thing is due to block value and armor increase

#

not due to stats etc

#

more ilvl means more block and armor, block being the important one

frail oar
lusty grotto
#

yeah thats fine

frail oar
#

no secondaries and a chance to get 2329 for 10s when i get damaged

lusty grotto
#

dont up honestly

frail oar
#

ok thanks

lusty grotto
#

since you can farm other shields in M+

frail oar
#

ok thanks šŸ™‚

lusty grotto
#

do use it over your current though

frail oar

šŸ‘

violet ginkgo
#

Nim, is it OK if I go absorb ring first rather than damage ring? Both ring from vault

lusty grotto
#

absorb ring is

#

meh

violet ginkgo
#

Or nah the absorb is not that significant, better go for dmg

lusty grotto
#

eranog's first

#

honestly

#

well

#

honestly i dont know cause

#

eranog is easily done in raid, broodkeeper depends on difficulty i guess

#

im not really stressed over it

#

i guess you could go for either one depending on if youre clearing on week 4 and then 6 after idk

#

i dont think brood ring has too much defensive value though

#

its okay

#

just higher ilvl than any other with bullions i guess

violet ginkgo
#

Alright then damage ring it is, thx Nim.

lusty grotto
#

how much absorb is the maxed one

violet ginkgo
#

Gholak first though for sure

lusty grotto
#

like 290k?

#

or less idk

tall sky
#

which one do I use

lusty grotto
#

sim

violet ginkgo
#

I mean… if it was me just don’t sim and use whatever, next week buy gholak with bullion, then you are done. @tall sky

cinder nova
#

I forget do we reflect Conductive or Thunder

#

I assume the former since it hits like a truck

grim pilot
#

conductive

#

it did like 3m per reflect ish

#

maybe more

in 9

vocal flame
#

I am in trinket hell

#

oh wait i just checked noms list and thats good

#

i thought it was bad haha

urban portal
#

Trinket heaven

vocal flame
#

have rageheart and rezans so i dont think thats much of an upgrade

pallid quiver
#

It's better defensively than rageheart

vocal flame
#

yeah but no damage right

plush tendon
#

good for pushing high keys when you need more def cd

#

for farming keys, its meh AF

vocal flame
#

yeah that kinda makes sense, situational

Trinket purgatory

pallid quiver
#

well, it ain't heroic, but

#

i am replacing a 463 tho

vocal flame
#

that from normal? ^

pallid quiver
#

Yeah

vocal flame
#

ooo nice

#

since the cata is every week are we waiting on making stuff tier even if its 15ilevel increase? I know never replace tier with non unless its like 30 i levels

pallid quiver
#

I'd just sim it

vocal flame
#

yeah thats always a good idea haha

hazy bronze
#

The tiers don't stack

pallid quiver
#

If that was the question, I 100% didn't read that from that

but the same thing applies for if you're dropping 4p for new gear at all

#

just sim and check out; most content, you aren't swinging for 4p to save your life or anything; it's either play well or get more gear first since it's a new tier

#

tried to do a +2 and it was full of people expecting old +2 difficulty

We had fun in Nokhud 11 yesterday.

lusty grotto

is super fun lol

Diddn't get around to Neltharus yet.

#

Only managed to do a Nokhu 11 and a Academy 10.

😦

lusty grotto
#

lol just wait

#

BRH, AA are at least pretty chill

#

AV last boss group wide is pretty rough but can play around it with group defensives

#

HOI 3rd boss is...

#

rough

#

VERY rough

pallid quiver
ionic fern
#

Ya.

#

Tried very hard.

#

We were actually really chill on time until the 2 last bosses.

#

Where we wiped like 10 times.

#

šŸ˜‚

ionic fern
#

But we had a rogue who did almost no DPS, so we couldn't kill last bosses shards.

lusty grotto
#

also AA last boss changes are pretty fucking weird

ionic fern
#

What did they change?

lusty grotto
#

insta spawning 2 orb thingies

ionic fern
#

Diddn't feel anything..weird.

lusty grotto
#

like the boss isnt hard

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

its just caught it by surprise

#

err us

#

i havent done RLP or Nok yet

#

we keep getting AV/Nelth/AA

#

ulda wasnt that bad ig

#

same as always, i detest that dungeon

#

but nothing outstanding

#

you can still reflect nadoes on transition to put the dot on a statue on add phase

#

(:

#

other than chargath, nelth is pretty chill too

#

even with the chain changes

velvet knot
#

Do we run double shadowflame armor patch, and if so, is there a specific slot i should put it on? I usually just slap it on a crafted shield.

lusty grotto
#

have you read the wowhead/icyveins guides

velvet knot
#

it doesn't say which slot to put the patch on

#

i heard that specific armor peices give higher bonuses to embelishments

#

Idk if that applies to armor patch though

lusty grotto
#

are you sure

velvet knot
#

What i meant is, on the druid discord they're saying put embelishment on ring because it makes the embelishment stronger.

#

Is that true for us?

lusty grotto
#

no

velvet knot
#

ok ty

lusty grotto
#

thats not true at all

velvet knot
#

ima just slap it on shield then

lusty grotto
#

ehh

#

why

velvet knot
#

why not?

lusty grotto
#

you could just get a myth shield

velvet knot
#

isn't crafted gear myth level this patch?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

its 3 ilvls lower

velvet knot
#

oh i thought they got rid of the -6

lusty grotto
#

same as last season

#

yes

#

its not 6

#

its 3

velvet knot
#

oh okay

#

Thats better atleast.

lusty grotto
#

same as last season

#

put it on a low stat slot

velvet knot
#

kk

#

ty

lusty grotto
#

which are the "weakest"

velvet knot
#

Oh i thought that meant

#

ilvl

lusty grotto
#

mmm

#

depends

velvet knot
#

so bracers belt/cloak?

#

ect ect

lusty grotto
#

belt no

velvet knot

Why not belt?

lusty grotto

belt is higher stats

Anyone had their spells/keybinds suddenly not working? Felt pretty bad pulling the first area in ruby and suddenly couldnt press any defensives or offensive skills 🤦 Probably addon related but it went on and off last night in that key only. Seems odd

#

Like they added a mob with silence or something

ionic fern
#

Nope. šŸ‘€
Usually when stuff like that happens to me it's because i fatfingered and swapped my default keyboard for windows.

Yeah Ive done that keks But this was different. It was like being silenced. Just with literally all spells. Just stood there like a slapstick

@strong forum im looking at your guide on wowhead, purely for m+, would you pick Enduring Dreadplate as one of the two trinkets? Is it similar to aegis (shadowlands) now?

In that sense, yes, big reflects.

How bad would it be to macro Shield Slam inside thunderclap and revenge, so that it always gets used before them?

ionic fern

You still need to TC / Revenge for AoE threat.

It should be enough to use the SS/IP macro.

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the game and I'm trying to improve my dps, doing around 73k consistently. I don't know what to do to improve other than spamming revenge and shield slam on reset and using my cooldowns don't know how to improve. I've check the wow head guide and practiced on dummies but have never cracked more than 80~ even with consumables and enchants, any suggestions? My item lvl was 485 before new season

ionic fern
#

This should snipe most Shield slams.

ionic fern
#

You use SS->TC

#

And prioritise those.

#

Do you have the tier set?

#

Do you have any logs?

Might have some logs give me a sex

#

Oh. I thought m+

raw plover
ionic fern
#

That's your damage done per ability & Casts on Nymue.

#

Those are mine.

#

Notice the cast differences.

#

You are prioritising SS->Revenge

#

But it should be SS->Thunder Clap.

#

And then you feed all that rage into Ignore Pain, since Ignore pain has by far the highest probability to trigger your tier set "Fervid Bite".

#

You can see that clearly in your damage breakdown.

#

You procced fervid 18 times.

#

I did it 38 times.

raw plover
#

Okay okay, i though that the revenge proce was better

ionic fern
#

Nope.

#

Revenge is garbage in this situation.

#

You always prioritise your rage generators:
1)SS
2)Thunder Clap.

raw plover
#

Okay okay

#

Also dump more into ignore pain

ionic fern
#

Yes.

raw plover
#

Instead of fishing for revenge procs

ionic fern
#

Since that has like a 90% chance to proc our tier set.

#

While everything else has like a 15-20%.

#

Just forget about Revenge on ST, use it if everything else is on CD

raw plover
#

St?

ionic fern
#

Single target.

raw plover
#

Ah ok

#

Also was thinking about a macro to burst avatar, with racial, and a couple of crs

#

Is that a good idea?

ionic fern
#

CRs?

raw plover
#

Cooldowns

#

Sorry mixing LoL language here

ionic fern
#

Not sure which racials you're talking about.

#

You can, if you want to, i wouldn't bother with it tho. Your racials might come off CD when your avatar is on CD etc since they don't have similar cooldowns.

I thought it was dumping to much on it before

onyx hearth
#

Shouldn't you dump rage with revenge when there's nothing to spend and IP is already up?

jagged pier
#

No

hardy snow
#

You can dump too much if you ragestarve and dont have for shield block for example when you need it or for revenge if your SS and TC are on cd. If that doesnt happen, then you're good.

hardy snow

Ip gives fervid

It won't be max lvl possible, and there are many sources for proper myth track shield both in raids and vault from dung/raids, so I personally wouldn't bother with crafting it.

jagged pier
#

We killed 15 bosses yesterday

torn gulch
#

you have access to 3 myth track shields on first, third and first boss of the three raids on mythic which should be doable
if you do not raid a shield craft will probably be a good bet as the only source of a myth track shield will be the vault

hardy snow
raw plover

Thanks will not invest in that then

But hc will die monday then the teams goal is 2 bosses for vault

#

btw. how raid vault works this season? First vault will be only from bosses killed in VotI?

strong forum
#

The plates only break post-mit post-absorb dmg

#

So any dmg that is less than 150k won't count towards breaking a plate

#

I've done a turbo large RLP pull at the beginning with 5 casters + 10 melee mobs + the big juggernaut on +10 fortified om PTR

#

And only 2 plates broke over the 15sec duration

dark barn
#

My guild destroyed heroic like was LFR. I guess blizz want us to do nythic raiding3

plush tendon
#

the raids are in their most nerfed stage

#

with a extra -10% health and damage on top

#

though, not sure how far we get into Mythic Vault this week; Ill be happy with like 4/5 of out 8

#

but I expect we could full clear Aberrus and Amidrissil the following weeks

#

and full clear Vault on the second rotation

#

save some dinars

#

nothing wrong in running a defensive trinket

#

especially early season when youre undergeared

dark barn
#

Can you technically use two defensive trinkets (ex: rageheart and treemouth) to face a very scary boss? The idea is the player can use rageheart in one tankbuster, and treemouth in the next, and after that make a cycle. If the answer is yes, people dont do that because its just unecessary (you have defensives) and dont help in damage at all?

plush tendon
#

like, you also have SW, Last Stand, Demo, Spell Reflect

#

having both feels like overkill and also a huge opportunity cost considering this season we have all the best trinkets available

dark barn
#

Yeah i guess is just unecessary, unless you are in a very problematic situation, like experiments boss in mythic raiding and you are undergeared

plush tendon
#

well Mythic Experiments is gonna have some other issues

#

like the nerf to Mass Dispell from S2->S3

warm plinth
#

In most seasons we don't run a defensive trinket at all

limpid ruin
#

Most of the bosses this rotation are pretty chill because spell block works on most of the tank hits

warm plinth
#

We just happen to have actually had a decent one here and there

plush tendon
#

the only scary bosses are Crawth and the second boss RLP imo

#

everything else, kind of chill for warrior

limpid ruin
#

Even 2nd is pretty manageable. You should be able to shield wall almost every one. Just the bird (I hate the bird)

plush tendon
#

That 3rd boss in NO can also be a little freaky

#

but the 2nd and 4th reflect stonks are through the roof

#

same with Azure Vault; 1st boss and 4th boss stonks way up for warrior

waxen frigate
plush tendon
limpid ruin
#

I like that idea

If you wanted a 3rd crafted piece so you can use a Flavor Pocket, is there a recommended/best item for this assuming you already crafted bracers and cloak? Also assume going off of the Wowhead BIS list.

#

How is everyone feeling about Prot going into season 4? Im torn between my warrior, pally and dk

#

My buddy and I started recently and he id a disc priest. We intent to do mostly mythic+ and some raiding

ionic fern
#

But then again, i always love it.

#

But honestly, play what you want.

#

Paladin and BDK will probably have a easier time getting into pugs due to being looked upon more "favourably".

#

But that's just due to community being steered by tier lists.

waxen frigate
#

But Paladin yea

iron pumice
#

So I decided to not tank besides just if I get stuck doing it for my weekly vaults with the guild, how is prot damage looking? Since in vault keys it’s gonna be just run through the key as fast as possible I don’t care about survival every tank can survive them easily

#

I’ll play any tank but VDH but don’t know if brew or dk beats it by a decent amount as well

blazing condor
#

if youre running full pad you can pump some good numbers

#

but we're not the top dps tank

torn gulch
#

dps is decent

iron pumice
#

Gotcha. As long as it’s decent I’ll probably do it so I don’t have to gear a separate tank just for helping guildies spam vaults

torn gulch
#

but keys can be done at a pretty high level without tank dps being a factor

iron pumice
#

I’m looking for speed

torn gulch
#

then dh or monk

#

is your best bet

#

if you want to zoom

narrow hull
#

vdh is uncontested and nothing comes close

dark barn
#

You can do all +10 very easily with any tank, the content is super ez right now

iron pumice
#

I’m not min maxing THAT hard I just wanted to make sure prot wasn’t gonna be slow af if I couldn’t pull as big as possible consistently

waxen frigate
#

10s are definitely not super ez, but they are doable with all tanks

dark barn
#

wait until everyone have 510+ and will be super trivial

iron pumice
#

Im not worried about the skill part of getting through 8-10’s just if the class can handle pulling like a crack head as tank

dark barn
#

People are doing 10 right now without gear

waxen frigate
iron pumice
#

I’m asking about when I have gear šŸ˜›

waxen frigate
#

But yes 10s will absolutely be trivial within a week or two

plush tendon
#

by next week honestly

#

already slotted to have full new tier, plus bullion, plus vault

#

and second raid reset

#

the power jump from this week to next week gonna be huge

dark barn
#

Dont make sense to advice a class decision based on the undergear situation of first week

waxen frigate
#

I’m simply commenting on what you said

#

I didn’t advise any class decision

dark barn
#

So i will rewrite my comment

#

You WILL do all +10 very easily with any tank, the content WILL BE super ez in one week or two

iron pumice
#

Does prot historically handle large pulls well consistently while I speed run my 18’s for mine and guildies vault during mid and late season is the original question even if I didn’t word it that way, words are hard lmao

you can literally play whatever you want at those key levels

#

Trivial weekly content

gearing up just for it to be replaced next expac is eh, m+ is fun but might not play much this season idk yet

plush tendon
#

gearing in retail wow is like a sideshow now you do for the first 2-3 weeks

#

after that, its a after thought

#

the main draw of retail is the content itself and replayability of M+

#

or raid prog

iron pumice

If m+ wasn’t a thing I’d unsub after 1 month

fickle coyote

#

people be getting title not playing meta; for the vast majority of players its more important to pick a class they like and get good at it

#

rather then chasing a silver bullet they think will solve all their problems

#

the point you have to get to where not playing meta is literally trolling is when you are doing the top keys

iron pumice
#

I’m pretty sure almost every spec for 28/29’s timed last season. So maybe 30 and up it matters but you gotta be honest are you pushing for 4k io lol

#

I played sv hunter and brewmaster to 25’s last season before I even noticed I wasn’t fotm

waxen frigate
#

Every tank did 31s at least I believe

iron pumice
#

And it was still doable I just had to like remember to use defensives

waxen frigate
#

And keep in mind the vast majority of players pushing keys wouldn’t bother with playing an off meta tank because if you aren’t doing it strictly for fun, why not play vdh

iron pumice
#

^ it sucks the meta decides what pugs are gonna take more willingly. I agree That is shit

#

But as tank I never had that problem really. Mostly just as sv getting groups and even then, I’m dps

plush tendon
#

thats really on true for those maybe pushing for title or world rankings though

#

if ya just chillin, maybe doing some 26-27 or get a 28 something ya want to slam

#

anything is fine

waxen frigate
#

^

#

If you’re good at the spec and play well, you’re fine past title range

plush tendon
#

you even start making a name for yourself

#

when I was pushing title, there was a guy playing arcane

#

and people were inviting him cause they were like 'I know that guy, super good at arcane'

waxen frigate
#

Yep. At the higher level it’s a smaller community and names come up more often

plush tendon
#

the community doing high keys is VERY small

waxen frigate
#

Your reputation will matter

It’s so easy to just roll up an alt

plush tendon
#

well, thats not really the thought process; the thought process is more if theres a correct answer and you can play the objective correct answer, why not?

#

if you cant answer the why not, then play the right answer

vocal flame
#

correct answer is subjective but the data suggests VDH lol

plush tendon
#

in S3 it was VDH

#

unless you were playing the Squishvegan comp

#

the top players are telling us the answers; they solved the problem

vocal flame
#

Yeah not sure what this season will bring but I think a lot of people are skipping this season. Can't wait to see the numbers

plush tendon
#

its VDH

vocal flame
#

damnit

plush tendon
#

but for many reasons

#

not just individual tank strength, but also stacking raid buffs

#

ideal comps are looking to be caster focused, so stacking Arcane Int, Choas Brand, Mark of the Wild etc. just pumps up your group damage

#

like, if we were in a melee dominant meta, Prot War could be a option (but more likley bear because Warrior DPS>Feral)

vocal flame
#

yeah its all about damage, I get that but I feel like it be different

plush tendon
#

its about making comps that make sense and syngergize

vocal flame
#

or I wish it was lol

#

well yeah because there is a timer

#

no timer =/ not as much focus on damage just finishign it

plush tendon
#

if its about just finishing then nothing matters; the timer is what puts the restraint on how far players would go

#

but there is one

#

so when you have specs grouped together that compliment each other they get stronger when together

#

like Imagine running a VDH-Shadow-Fire-Resto Druid comp and just slotting in some random warrior

iron pumice
#

I wish there was MDI m+, as key levels go up it stays the same difficulty wise but the timer just gets shorter and shorter. Seems like it’d get pretty fun and hectic lmao

plush tendon
#

its prob fine at a certain point, but theres a better option out there like a destro lock who benefits from Arcane Int and Chaos brand

plush tendon
vocal flame
#

then just get classes that have good AOE damage why even have the others lol

plush tendon
#

it gets super sweaty when the damage numbers get really high for no reason

plush tendon
#

boss damage matters

vocal flame
#

on certain weeks yes others no

plush tendon
#

theres a lot more to pushing high keys then just stack the best aoe classes

plush tendon
iron pumice
#

Even on fort prio/ST is important for mini bosses and big mobs. But I agree tuning for that and regular m+ would be borderline impossible

plush tendon
#

it was more pronouced last season

#

we had some egregious dungeons like ToT where Ravagers and those breaker dudes just had way more health then anything else around them

#

and they had to die first

#

or close to when the rest of the pack died

#

well see this season how it turns out, but I think its less of a issue

vocal flame
#

idk about the boss argument but I do like it. you have AOE dps at 1.2million some classes and boss damage at 500k

#

they still doing 31+

#

if its a ration the higher the better obviously but its the same classes hence my point

#

ratio*

#

I am by no means crapping on Prot. I love playing it and have for many years and I will never play a FOTM, there just needs to be some balance with I know is also hard so I digress haha

plush tendon
#

right now, for the vast majority of players, balance is pretty damn solid

#

its literally only when your at the top top end wheres theres like 2000 total players there where it matters
