undone beacon
#

its the new meta

waxen cradle
#

honestly love being DiD dwarf even though I have considered going normal dwarf

lusty grotto
#

far from it but

#

you do you

undone beacon
#

get hip with it

undone beacon
#

But that wont happen

lusty grotto
#

so not a real gamer

#

👍

compact forum
#

Forgot about this. I'll have to take it as a backup

undone beacon
#

perhaps the realest gamer

lusty grotto
#

not really

#

way far from it

keen leaf
lusty grotto
#

a real gamer plays optimally

#

fireblood isnt better

#

its the same

#

fireblood is better for damage slightly

undone beacon
#

a real gamer plays what they enjoy 😄

keen leaf
#

its better,

waxen cradle
#

its really the same essentially

keen leaf
#

primary stat is better

undone beacon
#

For that is the goal of gaming

lusty grotto
#

stoneform is better for defensivenes

#

no

lusty grotto
#

its not better

undone beacon
#

Simply play goblin, enjoy rocket jump

#

blast off

lusty grotto
#

either dwarf is fine

#

but theres no "this ones better"

keen leaf
#

regardless, thats not my argument, you can dispell on dark iron too

#

thats all I was saying lol

lusty grotto
#

me too

keen leaf
#

I play regular dwarf because better hairstyles 😄

waxen frigate
#

I play human because dwarfes are ugly

lusty grotto
#

makes sense

humble schooner
#

I really want to go back human but being NE there are some solid uses for shadowmeld

knotty stump
#

are vault rewards getting pulled from all 3 raids?

strong forum
#

not yet

toxic pewter
strong forum
#

it shows you which bosses loot you unlocked

#

so this current week in raid its only vault

#

then starting with next week itll contain aberrus + vault

knotty stump
#

good to know, thanks

lusty grotto
#

nome

#

are you going leggo first?

#

and then gholak 2nd?

#

i have a strike twice already so im juggling around

strong forum
#

not even gholak 2nd

lusty grotto
#

leggo 1st, diurna 2nd?

toxic pewter
#

some trinket 2nd I guess?

random violet
#

I already have quite a decent weapon, is it worth it to get gholak? Or should I purchase other items with the bullion first?

toxic pewter
#

oh ring right

lusty grotto
#

im kinda worried about threat gen this week if i go leggo first

#

but

#

ill need to do leggo first for raid

strong forum
#

gholak is multiple thousand dps better than the 2nd best weapon

#

so yeah

random violet
#

Ah alright! Thanks Nome, appreciate it

strong forum
#

gholak already did 6+ dps in amirdrassil

#

now imagine that at 40ilvl higher

random violet
#

Yeah that must get huge

lusty grotto
#

also yet another reminder

#

if you up a 2h

#

your 1h and shield are free

strong forum
#

yeah on simc gholak is 8.8k dps alone

lusty grotto
#

for upgrades

#

both of them main hand and offhand

strong forum
#

yeah but i have to save flightstones

lusty grotto
#

yeah :\

#

i upped a hero 2h on my paladin so

#

got flightstones discounted on my war

#

and paladin will up leggo asap servers get up

strong forum
#

is that how it works

lusty grotto
#

yeah one char gives discounts to the rest

strong forum
lusty grotto
#

trust

#

2h maxed hero was 1850 flightstones

#

from 1/6

#

i upped a random 2h on my war and it was like 1k

#

after that

#

i mean

strong forum
#

intertesting

hardy snow
#

flighstones discount is shareable on alts, but crests discount isnt

lusty grotto
#

right

#

flightstones

#

thats what were talking about

#

anyway my plan today is to log on, buy leggo up on paladin and try to get it up as much as i can

#

and that'll save me a bit on warrior

#

and consequently on 1h + shield on warrior as well

random violet
#

Oh that's handy yeah

#

I'm just gonna get the 1h for the instant damage upgrade

#

Let's hope we get lucky on the vault and find a set piece! I was playing this week without one and it hurt in all kinds of ways

#

Already the 2set will make us so much tankier

hardy snow
#

I just play lots of content, so flightstones are never an issue 🤷‍♂️

lusty grotto
#

so do i

#

its just a way to get items up asap

hardy snow
#

Hey, @strong forum in trinkets list on wowhead guide there is old ID of Granyth used, 193689 is old one and it shows old taking dmg bonus instead of on use thats on ID 212757

Smart delete Apb.

toxic pewter
#

Each day I am getting better

ionic fern
#

😄

strong forum
#

says the correct item on my page

ionic fern
#

"Have you tried clearing your cache"?

echo egret
#

Why am I ending up behind my target after charging ? Like half the time. (And ofc my back to it)

hardy snow
tawny briar
#

It's more noticable on mobs that are immune to the brief snare that charge has (which it has to make this happen less)

echo egret
#

I define that as unwanted behavior, to be honest. Is that so hard to program ?

tawny briar
#

I mean, I think it is unwanted behavior, but we get used to it. It doesn't usually cause a lot of problems on bosses because the hitboxes are so big

lusty grotto
#

it happens occasionally

#

its not that they are immune, its server ticks that fuck you

#

or network related

tawny briar
#

I imagine its a thing that it's more noticeable when your ping is higher also

lusty grotto
#

yup

echo egret
#

"if you can't do it right, don't do it"

#

That's how I view things.

tawny briar
#

I mean, charge has been around since vanilla, and has always been too fun to care when it has stupid weird pathing bullshit, is my view

echo egret
#

(and I tend to have an extremely low ping)

tawny briar
#

Cause it 100% also has weird pathing issues

echo egret
#

it does

lusty grotto
#

wont matter if you claim you have low ping

#

server ticks, packet loss, everything adds up to it

tawny briar
#

It's an edge case, usually. I very rarely notice going THROUGH the mob I charge. sometimes you do need to backpedal immediatly to make sure they are recentered on you

lusty grotto
#

going into an OCE server or an OCE instance, etc

thin silo
#

Look I'm just glad Charge no longer has a 1% chance of clipping us through the terrain and falling outside the map

toxic pewter
#

I may be wrong but I do notice it happens on smaller races (obviously may be wrong but it feels like it happens for some reason)

tawny briar

Real gamers play on this ping anyway

waxen frigate

It’s full loot table it appears

lusty grotto

hmm

#

yeah

Everyone get ready with sim

☝️

random violet
#

Sim as tank?

#

Doesn't sound the play

lusty grotto
#

oh youre new

#

yes sim

hoary bough
#

How many ilevels is a socket worth on a ring?

lusty grotto
#

we sim dps

#

none

#

sockets are fucking cheap this time around

jagged pier
#

U have enough stats to live any content with your highwat simming gear

#

Thats why we sim

#

About 10ilvls on a ring

lusty grotto
#

you get 2 sockets per vault

#

its so easy to get, why would you consider it

#

vault #1 the only ring you should consider is diurnas

#

if you get it

#

no other ring are worth

jagged pier
lusty grotto
#

socket or no

jagged pier
#

Saves a bullion

maiden nimbus
#

I'm not sure what to take since my only Myth track piece is the trinket. I don't raid, so Im going to get the boullion trinkets after the weapon. So, is it worth it to take this trinket so that I can upgrade to Myth without spending crests when i do get the boullion trinkets? If not, id just get hero track chest and convert to tier...

lusty grotto
#

no

#

unless its a very fucking special item, and listed in the pins

#

go for armor

#

is the chest an upgrade?

#

chest is one of the 3 highest stat gains in your gear

maiden nimbus
#

yeah all 3 are, but chest would be best, only it is hero track, but only first week so might as well get the chest and have my 2 piece

lusty grotto
#

helm/chest/legs

jagged pier
#

And u get another cata this week

umbral lily
lusty grotto
#

so yea

#

confirmed you get loot from all 3 raids

#

ah fuck i need to LFR or some shit

nvm ill do fury

random violet
lusty grotto

fury can get 1h

#

1h + damage trinkets

tardy sequoia
#

hello, just asking if I can start taking zeroes at 460 or better off doing some heroics first

lusty grotto
#

plus i can get a myth shield easily this week anyway

random violet
#

Hmm ok, so if you're looking for tanking trinkets, we shouldn't open as fury?

lusty grotto
#

you can start 0 at 460 yea, you shouldn't be outgeared

#

what tanking trinket are you looking for

random violet
#

I have splinter and I'm looking for fyrakk

lusty grotto
#

umm

#

why would you want 2 on use shields

#

dont bother

tardy sequoia
random violet
#

Ahhh, so one offensive one defensive one? Sounds better yeah

lusty grotto
#

idk about 2s, but it should be fine for 0s

#

just try it

tardy sequoia
#

kk ty

lusty grotto
#

both offensive until youre pushing keys

#

(:

random violet
#

Yeah ok, but char is rough man

lusty grotto
#

trinkets wont help you there

random violet
#

I was trying it on a 9 today, didn't go well

lusty grotto
#

get upgrades

random violet
#

Ok, so I'll actually lootspec as fury! Handy tip

autumn lintel
#

That time of the year. Should I start swapping out gear at 2P or 4P tier?

random violet
#

P2 is what I read abs

lusty grotto
#

30 ilvl difference to swap to 2pc

#

otherwise stay with s3 4pc

#

as in, only swap to 2pc if the 2 items are 30 ilvls above your s3 4pc pieces

autumn lintel
#

Perfect, thanks!

random violet
#

I've been running this week without a set at all

#

Can't wait for the 2p

lusty grotto
#

im guessing you didnt play s3

random violet
#

I didn't as warrior haha

lusty grotto
#

well you actually can get s3 set easily with time rifts

#

and dream thingies i guess

#

those rewards catalyze into s3, without charge use

#

and usually go past 489 which was the ilvl cap

random violet
#

Oh that I didn't know! I do think I'll just get 2p tomorrow, got an LFR set piece, and almost 2k rating

#

So that's a 100% chance on 2 set and a pretty decent chance on 4 set during this week

lusty grotto
#

i got 4pc on my war last week

#

but i had s3 gear anywya

random violet
#

Huge

lusty grotto
#

ret pally got it today 🙂

#

uhh

#

i cant upgrade my leggo?

#

oh fuck

#

dont tell me

#

that you only upgrade it with bullions

#

hmm

nvm the text is pretty clear on the first upgrade

must be a bug

golden knot
#

Hey everyone. New to the discord, but wanted to ask a question about transitioning over to the new tier. Is it worth going 2/2 for prot? or is it better to just do the full 4pc swap?

lusty grotto
#

and read the next few lines

golden knot
#

thanks!

#

gotta be real, upgrading that gholak all the way was pretty satisfying

Is the vault open for all 3 raid items or just the one we ran? Debating opening as prot vs arms.

lusty grotto

all 3 raids

#

Thank you

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

it should

toxic pewter

young meadow
#

For the recommended trinkets, is there somewhere I can see which content they perform better in?

ionic fern
#

Which recommended trinkets are you talking about?

young meadow
#

Pocket anvil, augury, greiftorch, and icon with group buffs

#

I could probably sim but I'm on mobile

ionic fern
#

Anvil / Signet are our best DPS trinkets.

#

Grieftorch can outperform them if people are dying, and/or the fight is too short.

#

Icon is just.."fine".

#

Augury is also a solid DPS option, but behind Anvil/Grief.

jovial sorrel
#

I see 30ilvl on both pieces is worth going 4pc -> 2pc. Is there an ilvl threshold for going 4pc -> 0pc?

I didn't really play this toon last season, so my tier set is pretty low ilvl.

next pasture
#

anyone want to bet i have the worst 6 slot vault in the world?

waxen frigate
#

???

Icon

b tier lol

waxen frigate

Brother any vault with icon is inherently good

#

It might not be amazing for prot by itself

But it’s a rare and very good trinket

  • it helps other people

i don't have fyraleth, so not gonna take it

Apologies if this has been asked recently and I didn't catch it. Bullion order is Gholak first no matter what, yeah?

If you dont plan on playing off spec and upgrading lego, yes

thick oak
#

When on Dathea HC Sunday evening I was spell reflecting her ranged attack when I got knocked back. It was showing up on details but not showing up in logs
Is there any reason for this?

limber warren
#

Whats the best trinket to get with my bullion today?

waxen frigate
#

Raid bosses usually don’t let your reflect deal damage though

thick oak
#

Hmmm it was weird. Definitely reflecting in game, I'll play close attention next time to the number hitting it

waxen frigate
#

Logs are more accurate than anything else with rare exceptions

helm and ring both have sockets preloaded, hoorah

you always want tier no matter what

brother i don't know i just cast thunder clap and ask for externals

wintry tide
#

Would gholak still trump ring even if ring is an upgrade?

grim pilot
#

Wasnt normal gholak bis

#

In s3

#

Thats how strong it was

torn gulch
#

a 528 gholak is 12k st and around 30k vs a 483 gholak

wintry tide
#

I figured just thought i would ask

near pewter
#

I already have a mythic weapon and shield. Whats a good item to buy with my bullion? I mainly do M+ and was thinking Fyrakk Trinket? I can potntiall get eranog ring in vault, so im not sure if i want that first?

lusty grotto
#

gholak

#

mythic weapon is just a discount

limber warren
torn gulch
#

doesn't matter

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter

#

BUY GHOLAK

#

NO BUTS

torn gulch
#

gholak is that good

lusty grotto
#

YOU BUY GHOLAK and thats it

#

it doesnt matter what you have

#

buy

#

gholak

#

the only way you DONT buy gholak is if you dual spec and are going for leggo upgrade first

#

(like me)

#

(or like Nome)

near pewter
#

so if i have a mythic weapon i can upgarde with flightstones to what i have right now ilvl wise correct? or is it different for that item?

lusty grotto
#

yes

torn gulch
#

what ilvl is your weapon now?

near pewter
#

522

#

just need crests to upgrade more

limber warren
#

519

torn gulch
#

a 528 gholak will cost you flightstones +30 aspects

near pewter
#

and its actually that good for the proc it has?

torn gulch
#

yes

vocal flame
#

didnt wowhead say like 5k flightstones for max level gholak?

near pewter
#

okay, thanks for the info!

torn gulch
#

not for 1h

vocal flame
#

ahh ok

torn gulch
#

1h is like 2.1k

#

flighstones from 1/12 to 12/12

#

there is a table

#

in that wowhead article

#

for different types of weapons

iron geode
#

do i have to change anything in the rotation with the tier set?

#

in aoe or single target

torn gulch
#

i feel like disrupting shout gets better and better this season

iron geode
strong forum
#

Not rly

#

Rotation on wowhead is up to date

#

You just have to be aware that with 4pc, consuming the tierset proc resets thunderclap

#

So to not miss potential globals it's recommended to track the tierset bonus

iron geode
#

ok, i will take a look at wowhead again

#

do we have any weakaura to track tier?

strong forum
#

Ya is in the pins and faq iirc

#

Also on wowhead addon/weakaura section I believe

iron geode
#

ty vm!

#

another question, how much haste is a good amount? or how much do i need to mantain 100% shield block uptime

#

im 500 io and just got my 4piece tier set

#

but i feel my stats are all over the place

lusty grotto
#

thats the case always early in patch

#

stats dont matter, ilvl does

#

then you can optimize

fair beacon
#

is there like a list or smth that what I should prio getting with the bullion?

lusty grotto
fair beacon
#

another question: say by some insane stroke of luck that I never had before, I have the gholak and the seal of diurna's chosen, what is the best to get afterwards?

blazing condor
#

probably a juicy trinket

fair beacon
#

there are a lot of em, WHICH ONE!

#

I am basically downgrading to throwing the dice, I cant choose

blazing condor
#

do you do mostly m+ or raid

#

pins cover those as well

#

pocket anvil or cataclysmic brand are good if you can keep them up

fair beacon
#

since I do both, it seems a good option to me to get the rageheart and grieftorch, ideas?

blazing condor
#

i wouldnt mind having a rageheart

#

saves a lot of headache from getting it

fair beacon
#

the constant pulsing rageheart helps with proccing diurna and eranog rings

blazing condor
#

its not gonna be max dps but i liked running with it just for the sake of it

#

having a good defense trinket is pretty nice

compact hinge
#

if i dont have a rageheart at all, do you think its worth getting that over the weapon this week with my bullions?

humble schooner
#

I'd do Gholak first and then get rings / trinkets

radiant pewter
#

played my prot war in season 1, coming back for s4, are we just as good?

pallid quiver
#

We're actually stronger than Season 1

#

We're just outclassed by, notably, VDH

tired magnet
#

Hello, quick Q I got Blazebinder’s hoof in my vault. Is it decent for us?

pallid quiver
tired magnet
#

Deciding this or socket ring but it’s a lower haste and high Mastery one

#

Ah ok awesome - maybe as a holdover

#

Thanks!

bleak breach
#

damn hard call on vault

#

myth seal of fillial duty or her helm with avoidance and socket that i could catalyse?

humble schooner
#

myth seal saves you from needing to buy it, but helm with avoid / socket is rare, tough choice

bleak breach
#

mmmmm that's what im thinking

humble schooner
#

we will get approx 12 dinar, so can buy 6 items, so depends on how many things you might need / want to buy

bleak breach
#

can't really lose either way

humble schooner
#

I'd probably go helm

dusky canopy
#

@lusty grotto yo my dude

#

Get any loots

lusty grotto
#

i got mythic legs on pally for 4pc, fillial ring (diurna ring) on war, and myth treemouth on vdh

#

so it was a good vault

#

all around

#

nimchipadin looking good early on as always, nothing fucking changes

dawn rune
#

is gholak better than forestorm

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

gholak > strike twice > forgestorm

sharp dew
#

prot pal loves haste, prot warr loves haste, prot pal crafts ff legs every season for m+, why don't ppl use it on warr?

lusty grotto
#

anyway gotta remove the leggo and equip 522s

#

cause legs fucking blow

#

and the uptime isnt good

#

prot pals be prot pals

humble schooner
lusty grotto
#

also prot pallies dont use legs

#

we got into haste caps last season

#

so why would they use it

#

dropping 3 ilvls on one of the 3 highest stat count items

#

for crafted

#

for a very unreliable and bad uptime haste rating proc

#

seems like a very bad decision

#

so i had to check wowhead and sure enough

#

they dont take it

pallid quiver
#

i bought a gholak since i heard lego upgrading was borken

#

back to the tank mines i go

lusty grotto
#

sadge i bought 2 upgrades

#

i fucking didnt check wh before

#

and i sure as hell didnt check on pally if i could upgrade it

pallid quiver
#

I can just get the upgrade token 2 weeks from now

#

is my thought

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

im using a hero strike twice for now

pallid quiver
#

I wager it'll be fixed by end of day tomorrow unless something's mega jank

lusty grotto
#

would be good if we could swap gholak in for a pull and swap back

#

but blizzard hates fun

bleak breach
#

The gear from vendor is heroic quality yeah? Or myth

lusty grotto
#

for bullions?

bleak breach
#

Just debating wether I wait a week on Gholak to see if it drops

lusty grotto
#

it goes up to max ilvl

bleak breach
#

Yeah bullions

lusty grotto
#

aka myth

bleak breach
#

Oooh better grab Gholak then I guess

prisma crane
#

and super myth if it was a rare end boss drop

#

those ones are X/14 upgrades

lusty grotto
#

yup

bleak breach
#

So probably looking at Gholak-augury-grieftorch and rings?

prisma crane
#

its in pins

#

but trinkets kinda depend on content you're doing

lusty grotto
#

yeah pins has buy lists

#

but trinkets arent as important

#

as diurna

#

or gholak

#

well, gholak first

bleak breach
#

Gholak would proc diurna yeah? Plus shadowflame embellishment

lusty grotto
#

everything basically

bleak breach
#

Yeah nice

lusty grotto
#

shadowflame patches, gholak, rageheart

#

anvil/signet

vocal flame
#

Shield > trinket? usually sim but its hard for shields

bleak breach
#

I think I’ll go grieftorch and augury, not planning on any mythic this tier so won’t have any uptime for anvil/signet. Most of my fights will be 2-3 mins

lusty grotto
#

likely, but lots of options for myth shields

bleak breach
#

^

lusty grotto
#

i mean do you have diurna

#

diurna > trinkets

bleak breach
#

Not yet, just meaning for future reference

lusty grotto
#

oh yea

vocal flame
#

no just a random mythic dung shield. I looked on wowhead and nom says shield first. I dont raid either

bleak breach
#

Nice that all raids are in the loot pool. I thought it would only be the active raid

prisma crane
#

can always craft a shield if you wanted as well

sturdy halo
#

What should I do if I just sent SS then proced VO, should I hold VO until SS is back or Tclap?

vocal flame
#

im guessing shield then prob that trinket is good on noms tier list tho

lusty grotto
#

trinket is a better pick

#

you can farm shields anywhere

#

AV being kind of the best one

prisma crane
#

yea, end of the day, any shield is good enough until you get ideal stats on one

#

so getting a specific solid trinket is "harder"

#

also fwiw

#

if you pug raids

#

almost zero competition for shields

vocal flame
#

ahh ok cool

#

ty!

grim pilot
lusty grotto
#

wdym

grim pilot
#

Its been bugged since day 1

#

Gives 3 pieces of loot

lusty grotto
#

hmm

#

let me check cause we ran an AV earlier

#

i thought there was a chance for extra loot

#

in any dungeon

#

after x

#

pretty sure we only got 2 drops

grim pilot
#

Yes there is

#

20% per key level above 10

#

And obv every 5 extra guaranteed

lusty grotto
#

yup

grim pilot
#

So timing a 30 got u 4 pieces of loot

#

Think I got 5 items in 31

But av was bugged

#

And was giving 3 pieces

#

Regardless of key level

Thats why day 1 u wanted to do av as much as possible

If u wanted to gear up asap

Why are you gonna hit them

PRESS BUTON?

because then i don't get to press button

Got a 1/4 Mythic Track Bromach's Disentombed Locket neck piece in the vault with 1435 Haste and 615 Mastery, which I am pretty sure was BiS from S1, However Nomeratur has listed Tuskarr Bone Necklace with Crit/Vers as BiS.

How is it better? Surly the Haste would still trump the Crit?

how much haste u guys think that i should swap to heavy repercussions these days

hi new to prot in keys, do you pretty much stay dstance unless you outgear the key?

torn gulch
#

no

#

you re in bstance all the time

#

except situations where you need dstance dr

#

treat dstance as a cooldown

#

that gives you 20% dr for as long as you need

#

of course it depends as well how confortable you are

hardy snow
slate palm
#

That is only true if your off-hand is also at 515. That said it's 100% worth getting it.

anyone got a suggestion? got hero wep and shield already at 1/6 and 2/6 respectively

okay then yeah I would recommend shield for sure

y'all buying Totem of the all master of Gholak first?

hard gholak

totem is not even in top 3 buys for prot warrior

Totem is quite strong in M+

But Gholak is overall greatest, weapon is big upgrade, and gholak is strong.

#

Is wafting devotion really better than shadowflame wreathe on weapon if i'm already at 47% haste without itf?

#

wowhead guide is suggesting it

urban portal
#

Shadow flame better for low target counts

lusty grotto
#

wafting is generally better yes

#

but sim

#

1 patchwerk, 3 mins and 5 mins = ST (raid)

#

5 patchwerks, 1.5 mins and 1 min = AOE (M+)

strong forum
#

Wafting will still win in those scenarios

#

Shadowflame wreathe only simmed better on pure ST for half a patch in s2

kind glen
#

all-totem or dreadplate for M+?

serene tusk
#

If I get a chain going where shield block is up and it's ignore pain -> fervid -> shield slam -> ignore pain -> fervid -> shield slam, should I stop to reapply rend with thunderclap every time?

obsidian harness
#

I'd say yes, because otherwise your Fervid bite is only a fraction of the damage it could be doing. On top of that, that's an extra 2sec reduction to your dragon's roar cd. It might in the very short term be more burst damage to just send shield slams, but if you could have gotten another dragon's roar by eating rends then I'd imagine it isn't worth it to ignore hitting thunderclap.

strong forum
sullen gust
#

Would anyone be able to give me some advice on my vault? I've narrowed it down to either myth track shoulders and convert to tier, or possibly a heroic track all-totem of the master. I feel like the shoulders would be optimal but I didn't play much raid in season 1 so am unsure if the trinket is particularly good

strong forum
#

All-totem is only good in m+, but there are tons of good trinkets from raids to be had, I wouldn't pick a heroic track trinket over a one-and-done deal like myth shoulders

#

legs? vs the trinket i all r hhave same trinket hc i think legs so i catalsize it next week

radiant mortar
#

Hello everyone can you help me decide what to pick?

waxen cradle
#

hey guys if I already have my 4 set and 2 of them are champion would you use your mark of mastery to upgrade to heroic the chest or the shoulders, I ask because I have the leggs from Kagni in Aberrus heroic and seems a waste to buy the heroic tier leggs when I already have 4 set and can upgrade shoulders or chest to heroic

#

just a opinion is why I ask

lusty grotto
#

legs is our empty slot

#

oh

#

nvm im confusing with pally

#

anyway what else are you gonna use your mark of mastery on

radiant mortar
#

wait we dont take chest tier?

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt have haste

#

so no

#

fuck hold on im being gaslit

#

ITS LEGS

#

chest is pally

#

we are legs

waxen cradle
#

ok cool

#

was confused myself

lusty grotto
#

legs bad for tier

#

no haste

#

warrior no want tier legs

#

pally no want tier chest

waxen cradle
#

yeah chest, shoulders, hands, helm all haste

radiant mortar
#

is what the guide says

lusty grotto
#

it depends on your haste levels

#

at this point stats might move around too much

#

so its almost always a good thing to hero tier haste pieces first

waxen cradle
#

46%

lusty grotto
#

optimally, it depends on the stat breakdown and softcaps

#

% dont give me any info

#

percents dont DR

waxen cradle
#

7733

lusty grotto
#

click off ITF

#

anyway i wasnt asking you, i was talking to svensk

#

regarding which tier is picked or not

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

sim

radiant mortar
#

ok so no 100% pick item in their gotcha

lusty grotto
#

icon is the rarest one, but OCE beats it if you want a stat stick

#

but we really dont go for stat sticks

radiant mortar
#

yeah that I knew, but I think it will sim best beside the weapon

waxen cradle
#

must be bugged because I untalented it and still says 7733

radiant mortar
#

the other two trinkes are shit as well if I read the list correct

lusty grotto
#

Drkreven

#

i meant click off the buff, not untalent it

#

move away to an empty area so it doesnt stack

#

also you may have a howling rune equipped

lusty grotto
#

if none of those are upgrades and/or catalyze-able upgrades, then sim will tell you which trinket, DGE is actually very good for ST

#

while branch and icon are better for aoe

#

if gloves/legs arent an upgrade, i would go for branch though

waxen cradle
#

says same thing on WoW profile page 7733

lusty grotto
#

bro

#

IN GAME

#

you cant click off buff on armory

#

hoooly

#

just upgrade chest

#

thats the answer to your original question

waxen cradle
#

ok like you said standing in water in the middle of nowhere 7423

lusty grotto
#

or upgrade whichever is the LFR version of the 2

#

screenshot

#

why the fuck do you have so much haste rating

#

fuck i feel ive been over this with someone else

#

or maybe it was you

radiant mortar
#

I have half of that oO

lusty grotto
#

screenshot please

#

Drkreven

#

cause in order for you to have 7423 rating, you would have to be well 900 rating over the cap

#

because of DR

waxen cradle

#

windows + shift + s and you dont need to make a imgur album

fickle coyote
#

Gods sake, getting myth track strike twice in vault, with 3 cloaks, another weapons

radiant mortar
#

like this

fickle coyote
#

Do I take strike twice and skip gholak for now with bullion?

#

or do I still take gholak?

lusty grotto
#

welp

#

youre way overcapped Drkreven

#

like WAY

#

overcapped

lusty grotto
#

install this addon to see how much wasted rating you have

radiant mortar
#

good to know that we have caps as prots

lusty grotto
#

also eww

#

haste versa gems

jagged pier
#

I mean we have a 1 cap thats sort os achieveable

radiant mortar
#

that is?

#

haste 40%?

jagged pier
#

7100 haste rating

lusty grotto
#

7100 rating

jagged pier
#

There is a difference

#

In %and rating

radiant mortar
#

I know I know

lusty grotto
#

i just said ratings cap, percents dont earlier

radiant mortar
#

but I played rdruid all the time

#

and we dont have a cap on haste

#

so % is totally fine to share

lusty grotto
#

no

#

everyone has a cap

#

you just ignore it

#

the haste hard cap is the same for every class

radiant mortar
#

oh yeah we go over the reduction

#

what I mean is, its ingrained to share % for me because higher was better will try to remember that it is dif here

lusty grotto
#

its not different here

#

percents just dont mean shit

radiant mortar
#

...

lusty grotto
#

if dreamgrove is doing that then they are dumb

waxen cradle
#

the addon says lost rating is 311.64

lusty grotto
#

right

radiant mortar
#

Not at all, rdruid just doesnt care for the reduction after the cap so keeps taking haste

lusty grotto
#

thats 311 of another stat that you could have

waxen cradle
#

True Rating says 7111.36

lusty grotto
#

cause its diminished past it so yes

waxen cradle
#

ok cool well will definitely rearrange some stats then

old galleon
#

so, perhaps a stupid question - but if i already have 7100 haste rating from gear, should i still be taking wafting devotion for enchant?

lusty grotto
#

sims have caps in them

#

thats why we say sim

#

cause it'll tell you to swap it

#

same with runes

#

so yeah i guess it makes sense nome put legs in, if 7100 is reachable so easily

#

well

#

people have max s3 ilvl so its not a surprise

#

but stats WILL shift around a bit with ilvl upgrades

waxen cradle
#

Well I will work on swapping some stats around

lusty grotto
#

that was your original question

#

use it on chest

waxen cradle
#

cool thanks for tips

lusty grotto
#

no reason to save it

#

though

#

yeah fuck it use it on chest

#

and then just swap rings around

#

to offload haste rating

#

consider getting crit

old galleon
#

thanks for the tips and the explanations!

radiant mortar
#

dungeon slice is optimized for us ?

lusty grotto
#

no

radiant mortar
#

Thanks

lusty grotto
#

probably more specific

waxen cradle
#

yeah will be going for Diurnas ring for next anyway that will dump a large chunk of haste for me anyway

#

with Bullion

lusty grotto
#

yeah that works

#

uhh well thats 2 weeks away

#

3 counting this one

waxen cradle
#

yeah could reforge bracers might do that

radiant mortar
waxen cradle
#

already got my second

lusty grotto
#

we got 2 today

waxen cradle
#

bought weapon

lusty grotto
#

you need 2 more to buy an item

#

so 3 weeks

waxen cradle
#

yep

lusty grotto
#

cause technically the week just started

#

i cant math

#

its 2 weeks

radiant mortar
#

interesting counting mechanic but fine I just need next reset to get ring

lusty grotto
#

im going to sleep

#

next tuesday bullion 3

#

so 2 weeks

radiant mortar
#

No its 4

#

one last week, two this week

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

2 weeks from today

waxen cradle
#

until then I might recraft bracers to crit/vers only 288 at current level but upgraded and recrafted its at least a nice little crit/vers bump

lusty grotto
#

so 2 weeks

radiant mortar
#

"Players will earn one Antique Bronze Buillon a week per character with the cap rising by one each week." so this means one bullion per week and not that the cap how they drops increase?

waxen cradle
#

if I wanted to recraft back later or needed to would just do so later after Diurna ring

lusty grotto
#

its not capped

hollow flower
#

Is Spiteful Storm Simbait it performs almost as good as signet for my sims

lusty grotto
#

it could be simbait cause

#

getting rooted and not being able to block/parry is

#

rough

#

but its not simbait in the sense that it does blast

hollow flower
#

Spiteful storm is raszageth

lusty grotto
#

fuck

waxen cradle
#

lol simbait I l ike that

lusty grotto
#

yeah im too sleepy for this

waxen cradle
#

like*^

radiant mortar
#

way to sleep

lusty grotto
#

are you simming 5 mins with signet?

#

cause signet will always underperform in anything but 5 min sim

hollow flower
#

5 min signet is slightly better
4 min Rasza is better
3 min its better but torch takes nr 1

lusty grotto
#

either way, signet is lower ilvl

#

yeah that makes sense

hollow flower
#

so for ST it is actually good?

lusty grotto
#

sure

#

i dont think its simbait at all

hollow flower
#

was just very confused since no source really places it high

lusty grotto
#

depends on what youre comparing it to

#

and you are comparing it to... a 489? or 483? signet?

#

even ilvls, its gonna be another story

hollow flower
#

no i sim droptimizer so all same itemlevel

lusty grotto
#

yeah signet and anvil are 5 mins, they need ramp up

#

so it makes sense

hollow flower
#

even at 5 min

lusty grotto
#

all bloodmallet sims are 5 mins

hollow flower
#

give me a sec I will post a link

lusty grotto
#

no need

hollow flower
#

Spiteful storm is 0,4% worse than signet and 0,5% better than anvil

lusty grotto
#

at what ilvl

hollow flower
#

515 for everything

lusty grotto
#

yes thats exactly what bloodmallet has

#

wait no

#

what the fuck

#

dont run nightly

#

swap to latest

hollow flower
#

what do you mean with that?

lusty grotto
#

how are you even running droptimizer with 2 different raids

native iron
#

im thinking of taking the filial duty ring, is it worth it?

lusty grotto
#

yeah take it

#

its rare and saves you a bullion

hollow flower
lusty grotto
#

link

#

how are you running

#

droptimizer

lusty grotto
#

with 2 diferent raids

hollow flower
#

i run the droptimizer for the vendor at 515 5 min 1 Target

lusty grotto
#

for the vendor

#

the bullion vendor?

hollow flower
#

yes

lusty grotto
#

i see it

#

why would you sim at 515

#

if those ilvl cap

#

wouldnt you want the maximized gain?

hollow flower
#

thats around what i have if its capped its basiacally the same

lusty grotto
#

at that point it feels like simbait indeed

#

im running my own sim

#

regardless why are you even simming trinkets when gholak and diurna are just rarer

#

harder to get

hollow flower
#

i have diurna and stormforge

#

both are smaller upgrades

lusty grotto
#

stormforge?

#

forgestorm oh

hollow flower
#

ehhhh neltharus weapon

lusty grotto
#

uhh no gholak is much better

hollow flower
#

forgestorm other way around

#

the trinket would be a better damage upgrade than weapon

lusty grotto
#

nope

#

cause all your skills damage increas with weapon damage which is directly related to weapon ilvl

#

aaaand gholak is a cantrip weapon

hollow flower
#

hmmmm true gotta think about it
thx for the help

lusty grotto
#

storm is sim bait

#

unless...

#

blizzard decided to buff it but i dont think thats the case

#

simtrap, simbait

#

lol

#

yeah i got similar results

#

simbait for sure

#

Tricky choice... the trinket is myth track, but knowing that I don't raid at all this season, tier might come slowly.

Gief that Treemouth!!

Looks like more than me got Forgestorm as myth track;( I was gonna buy Gholak but now I dont know 😛

U skip forgestorm

# jagged pier U skip forgestorm

Okej:) Well the other things wasnt great either tbh i dont know what to take there. The trinkets is D trinket and whelp shell is not even on the list 😛 and Zaqali is a B trinket but nothing much with it. So hard decision there

he just needs to eat someone

so just let your group kite /kill adds

looking at 2nd boss in brackenhide treemouth
during grasping vines, when i as a tank have been consumed sometimes im not getting the partially consumed debuff when thrown out, and he has not been getting his absorb shield either,
any idea on what could be causing this? think i had spellblock up, but have not found any consitency with it, anyone else seen this happening?

hello quick question. I already have a weapon 528, you suggest to take diurna or a bis trinket ( anvil or cataclysmic) with bullions?

Thought grief torch was better

spiteful storm sim soo good

what weapon enchant are you using guys?

#

sophic or wafting?

wafting enjoyer

#

all the haste

mystic radish
#

Is the weapon upgrade stuff bugged?

#

I have 519 equipped but cannot upgrade the axe without crests

celest grove

maybe because you have sword?

#

I had axe and it let me upgrade for free

hm ... didnt matter the season before

So its "bugged"?

If i already got a weapon at decent ilvl, should i still go for Golak or shall i go for All-Totem Master (M+ orientated)?

jagged pier

Gholaks is 1000s of dps ahead of any other wep

harsh trellis
#

Out of these 2 when I simmed it the seal was the pick, but I need the pants for 4 piece. Is it advisable to just spam M+ for pants and catalyst them?

#

I mean I can also wait for 2 more bullion and buy the seal that will be a higher ilvl

jagged pier
#

U take seal

#

Unless u really want the extra 7 ilvl son it

#

Then u take legs

hardy snow
jagged pier
#

Or the bulooon lets u buy somthing else because u took the rare item and its easier to get legs

Thats also good take okayge

Why wouldnt we want Shadowflame enchant on weapon in keys , wowhead just says this single target only not mentioning any keys and damage

jagged pier
#

Because haste is better

#

For keys and damage

#

Cause rage

#

Because main stat is always good on tanks

Doesnt mean its best

yeah I know that aswell but , yeah just asking:)

will they eventually give us more bullion or is it just going to be 1 a week till tww

1 a week

there is a possibility that the dungeon quest on dungeon week which is once every 6 weeks or so will give 2 bullions because that is how it was on ptr
we'll have to see dungeon week is next week

#

That would be sweet

#

Get two items in the same week

since its just reused content to keep us occupied until TWW there's no reason for them to be annoying with gearing
