jagged pier
#

its a choice to not send it at the end of a pack in m+ and save it for the next

#

and maybe just kite out of weave in and out

hardy snow
#

I would like to have more interesting mastery

jagged pier
#

they dont want that model

#

but thats what i would do because i enjoyed managing my resources

#

a none rng mastery would also be cool

unkempt hazel
#

add another resource on top of rage, like dk runes back in the day

jagged pier
#

No.

lusty grotto
#

yeah i dont mind mastery staying as crit blocks

toxic pewter
#

wtf warr use rage

lusty grotto
#

just more in line of non-rng crit blocks

toxic pewter
#

anything else is blasphemy

unkempt hazel
#

the other resource would be "seething"

hardy snow
toxic pewter
#

mega pass

jagged pier
#

if mastery could be slightly more gained like u get to choose when to crit block that would be cool

unkempt hazel
#

remove block chance

#

make block a button

jagged pier
#

while keeping the rng part

unkempt hazel
#

were action game now

#

hi guys one question about trinkets we play Treemouth's Festering Splinter+Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart defensivli or should i go Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart+Enduring Dreadplate

jagged pier
#

treemouth and enduring

plush tendon
#

prob dont need both in like 99% of cases

jagged pier
#

yer but if he wants to play it those are the best 2

plush tendon
#

I would drop treemouth until you reach a point where you need it

jagged pier
#

rageheart is your 3rd best option

plush tendon
#

since its a sizeable damage loss

glacial skiff
#

I only have treemouths, but personally I’d run the other 2 if I feel i’m safe enough to. The other 2 are mix dps/defensive trinkets.

plush tendon
#

do Prot Wars not run Cheat for pushing?

jagged pier
#

maybe

plush tendon
#

and by pushing I mean like actually pushing

glacial skiff
#

I think so, I don’t have it tho

jagged pier
#

but if u run treemouth and enduring u basically have imortality every pack anyway

plush tendon
#

this is true

graceful cobalt
#

ok and on what i should spent than my barrel?

plush tendon
#

Gholaks, Durina Ring

jagged pier
plush tendon
#

guzzie is also a trinket you will want to get

jagged pier
plush tendon
#

even if its just for last boss bracken

plush tendon
jagged pier
#

u can

plush tendon
#

just bring triple rogue

jagged pier
#

not many are

unkempt hazel
#

be the change u want to see

#

become rank 1 as prot warr

#

dont let them stop u

plush tendon
#

Tank tier list is still VDH>>Bear=Prot War>Prot Pal=Blood>BM Hunter>Brew Master

#

imo

jagged pier
#

im touching grass this season after tonight cause then ive done all raids on hc for mount and title

hoary bough
#

we're better than bdk?

unkempt hazel
#

what happened to brm sadge

plush tendon
jagged pier
#

damage nerf

#

so they dead now

plush tendon
#

Brewmaster is in dire straights atm

unkempt hazel
waxen frigate
#

It’s really not as bad as people make it out to be

plush tendon
#

I think blood does more damage then Prot War, but Spell Reflect is straight fire in these dungeons

unkempt hazel
#

why even nerf it at all

#

was it out of line at any point of this exp?

jagged pier
#

reloe was going a bit mad on the dps side of it tbf

plush tendon
#

Equinox does some silly stuff on the spec

unkempt hazel
#

well that's equinox

plush tendon
#

but otherwise, its not popular enough

unkempt hazel
waxen frigate
#

Brew hasn’t been top Dps tank other than outliers for more than a few weeks

unkempt hazel
#

can't help but to miss playing it

waxen frigate
#

The nerfs are out of nowhere and completely bizarre

hoary bough
#

o yeah, did we ever solve the mystery of HoI spell reflect

waxen frigate
#

They’re not even substantial

plush tendon
#

all I know is VDH feels the best to play, Prot War feels pretty good, BDK is serviceable in dungeons but bonkers in raid, and Prot Paladin is actually miserable to play

waxen frigate
#

Pwarr damage feels abysmal

unkempt hazel
#

think they just hate brm

waxen frigate
#

Threat feels like a chore vs Ret or Deva

plush tendon
#

yea, the numbies are sadge

waxen frigate
plush tendon
#

but it feels good

unkempt hazel
#

they're one of the least popular tanks too no?

jagged pier
waxen frigate
jagged pier
#

thats ST

#

and u need WF

waxen frigate
#

And bis gear

jagged pier
#

bis gear can be said for all of them tho

waxen frigate
#

In practice pwarr (at least pre nerf) was 5th

waxen frigate
unkempt hazel
#

its ok guys

#

we scale

waxen frigate
#

But pwarr in keys right now does negwtive damage compared to vdh or brew

unkempt hazel
plush tendon
waxen frigate
#

It definitely does

hoary bough
#

and pwarr isn't ugly like vdh

unkempt hazel
#

lmao

plush tendon
#

plus it has a good amount of stops and spell reflect gets some great value

#

VDH is just like... a tier about everything else

#

even with the nerfs

unkempt hazel
#

and isnt bad at anything

plush tendon
#

on pull maybe?

waxen frigate
#

The nerfs were significant but nowhere near enough to bring them down to a reasonable level

plush tendon
#

it takes some time to ramp VDH

waxen frigate
plush tendon
#

otherwise, no, not really

hoary bough
#

you have a choice, you can look cool as shit reflecting the last boss on HoI and doing insane dmg with the rest of the party dead

#

or u can take the ugly meta form

unkempt hazel
#

which is why I cannot enjoy bdk in any capacity deadge

plush tendon
#

and with the changes yesterday, Prot War health pool is a shy under VDH now

waxen frigate
hoary bough
#

i find bdk so unsatisfying as a dps

plush tendon
#

out of the four tanks I play, Prot War, Blood (to a extent) and VDH have felt great

#

and Prot Paladin... needs help

#

that shit is tragic

unkempt hazel
#

tbf I only truly played brm guardian and pwar

waxen frigate
#

Prot Paladin is strong

#

What

#

It just does zero damage

plush tendon
#

mine is undergreared tbf (like 483 I level) so I did get rekt in a 10 Halls XD

unkempt hazel
waxen frigate
#

Ppal undergeared on fort bolster sounds awful yeah

plush tendon
#

But I’m so done with consecrate

waxen frigate
#

Real

#

Fuck that spell

unkempt hazel
#

why so

#

the rune of power situation?

hoary bough
#

was worse in s3, they changed the tier right?

plush tendon
unkempt hazel
#

gotcha

#

ye that sucks

plush tendon
#

Which is cringe as shit

hoary bough
#

the s3 tier set made ppala feel unplayable

plush tendon
#

When I play prot paladin, all I want to do is throw shields

unkempt hazel
#

never truly tanked as pala so no clue how it really feels

plush tendon
#

Activate wings

#

And go to town

unkempt hazel
#

avengers shield feels nice tho

#

or w/e its called

plush tendon
#

Still annoyed there’s no holy power gen from it

unkempt hazel
#

that sounds wrong

plush tendon
#

I don’t want to press judgement and blessed hammer! Just let me throw my god damn shield

limpid ruin
#

I still dont get that change. They took the gen off of its because they didnt want 100% shield uptime but never tuned pali to not explode without shield

plush tendon
#

and SoTR does jack all

#

if you dont have Sent, Ardent, or Kings up with it, you just die anyways

limpid ruin
#

ya because its a maintence buff right now. Which is exactly what they said they didnt want it to be

plush tendon
#

its also a main damage button

#

idk, I just want to feel like Captain America... I dont want to stand in consecrate, I want to be throwing shields, and I dont want to blow up cause I ran out of CDs in a average pull

#

charging in my horse

patent sedge
#

is there a way to gain enduring alacrity without losing the silence shout?

jagged pier
#

u drop bloodsurge

#

but shout is probably doing less than u think it is

#

but if u want to run it run it

plush tendon
jagged pier
#

but u then have to drop bloodsurge

chrome falcon
#

is there a quick way to sim what i should be buying with bullion after gholak

#

or is it just always diurna ring before a trinket

#

currently rocking 0 trinkets from this season

#

accepting first answer i would like to do 0 thinking

jagged pier
#

ring just because rarer

#

the trinkets will give u more value

#

but yes theres gear compare

#

u can use to sim stuff u want to buy

plush tendon
#

ring is big value

chrome falcon
#

mm

plush tendon
#

we'll be on third bullion next week though

chrome falcon
#

we get another bullion item next week right

#

yeah ok

#

just gonna grab a trinket now and ring next week

plush tendon
#

so its basically Ghoalk>Ring=Trinket

#

as first 3 buys

chrome falcon
#

smolderon signet gotta be shitty this season right

#

compared to last

#

everything dies so fast

plush tendon
#

its still perfectly good for Mythic Raid

#

and if you can keep it up in M+, but I feel like there are better options

lusty grotto
#

on the contrary

chrome falcon
#

idk everything in mythic raid for us is already dying faster than it ever died on reclear when we were gearcapped

lusty grotto
#

theres less RP this time around

#

so its the complete opposite

chrome falcon
#

oh yeah i'm not doing anything above mandatory vault keys

#

and even those for only a few weeks

jagged pier
#

almost like they nerfed all the raids by 10%

lusty grotto
#

so signet will gain value since you wont have to stop

patent sedge
jagged pier
#

go greif and have fun

lusty grotto
#

procs from procs also

plush tendon
#

grief is de way imo

keen leaf
#

question guys, do I just buy the bullion gholak now, or wait and see if I get it in heroic tonight

lusty grotto
#

you can wait

jagged pier
#

well the one u buy goes higher ilvl

lusty grotto
#

i waited basically

jagged pier
#

but thats up to u if u want it

#

so wait

keen leaf
#

yeah thats the only thing I was thinking, ilvl is nice

lusty grotto
#

no drop last night so im getting it today

patent sedge
#

is it worth to craft a schield or not?

lusty grotto
#

depends if you have access to mythic shields

chrome falcon
#

grief most damage but annoying to use right?

jagged pier
#

its fine to use honestly

#

u just have to remeber u can block and stuff during it

#

but u can move

#

and i believe the cast is hasted now

lusty grotto
#

its an s2 beacon but better

keen leaf
#

I have grief, its easy tbh

jagged pier
#

cant*

keen leaf
#

u can move, not block

chrome falcon
#

ok thought so haha

jagged pier
#

like u can charge use greif while charging and by the time u at the mobs u can do stuff again

graceful cobalt
#

Unstable Arcane Loop+Eternal Sentry's Ring i got from vault with socket so should i take Seal of Diurna's Chosen or even Fyrakk's Tainted Rageheart( last brings me a hugh dps push)

lusty grotto
#

jesus that vault must have sucked if you picked a ring

graceful cobalt
#

was no trinkets/shield in and all other i have on Hero/Myth

lusty grotto
#

no myth armor for catalyst???

rapid belfry
#

is there a damage breakdown, maybe like a graph even, for your last boss pull in mplus? Sometimes I die, not sure if its me, or healer or both

#

maybe addon or wa

lusty grotto
#

yeah its in game

#

death recap

#

or log

#

details also has death breakdowns

graceful cobalt
#

@lusty grotto i have 3 Set p on myth so more i can´t change this week

lusty grotto
#

you have 3 set on myth? holy

#

so no 4 pc?

#

monkaHmm

#

i find it hard to believe rageheart would give you a huge dps boost

#

do you have sims?

#

out of all the defensives trinkets, given that dreadplates exist

graceful cobalt
#

and thats sim with old 489 rageheart on

lusty grotto
#

link the sim

patent sedge
lusty grotto
#

look at the wowhead guide

hardy snow
lusty grotto
#

yeah dreadplates will out sim it

graceful cobalt
#

dreadplate is my sec trinket

lusty grotto
#

link the sim please

graceful cobalt
#

and if i sim with Treemouth's Festering Splinter ansted my old 489 rageheart the dps increase will even more

lusty grotto
#

you mean to say a pure defensive trinket

toxic pewter
#

dreadplate mvp trinket this season

lusty grotto
#

will sim lower than a trinket that does damage?

#

please link the sim

#

i need to see what youre running as a sim

patent sedge
#

u think u send a bullion on it?

#

-> started to gear warrior this week bascialy

lusty grotto
#

look at pins for prio list for bullions

patent sedge
#

sorry for all questions also :'

lusty grotto
#

no worries

#

thats what we're here for

graceful cobalt
#

and yeah anvil will eventually do more dps ( but my question was for def trinkets not for Offense)

plush tendon
#

I think rageheart lost value this tier with the new reworked trinkets

#

both Scale and Treemouth do the same thing, but better

#

plus have primary

waxen frigate
#

Imo treemouth bis

plush tendon
#

Treemouth for big push

#

does no damage unfort

#

so loses some points in my book

waxen frigate
plush tendon
#

tru

waxen frigate
#

It’s like sub/1%

plush tendon
#

Ward from Neltharion is also a cananidate

waxen frigate
#

And that was with me having shit gear

plush tendon
#

with the added bonus of being a 1 min and usable on friendlies

solemn current
#

Ragehearts biggest problem is the verse scaled on it so poorly. Lose out on so much survability giving up the main stat at this point.

waxen frigate
#

At any point that was the big knock on it

solemn current
#

The damage from rageheart likely mostly made up on main stat alone if you’re efficient with damage.

waxen frigate
#

Yes and no

#

You have to keep in mind it’s necessary to subtract several % from whatever comes up on details

#

To make up for inherent strength loss

solemn current
#

How much is a 535 rageheart doing damage wise?

lusty grotto
#

considering it was nerfed

#

its doing "okay" damage

waxen frigate
solemn current
#

Because if it isn’t at least probably 7% overall you might as well not even take it because you’ll be blowing the defensive value for on use CDs to try and compete with main stat.

#

Wasn’t even doing that for me last season at 489

#

But obviously the worse you play the better rageheart is so damage wise probably ideal for some

lusty grotto
#

if youre using it for defensive value the pulse does less damage

#

cause the shield is broken faster

echo egret
#

Is there a good offensive bullion trinket without on-use ?

lusty grotto
#

so im not following your logic

#

signet

echo egret
#

Good for M+ (I don't raid) ? Better take that or Diurna's ring ?

waxen frigate
echo egret
#

my offensive trinket is Hoof atm

waxen frigate
#

Augury

#

(Idk if augury is great this season?)

jagged pier
#

its okay

echo egret
#

replacing my 515 Hoof by one of these trkinets, or my 506 ring with Diurna's

#

Patchwerk x5, 1min30

lusty grotto
#

you have your answer

echo egret
#

it sucks, because i hate having 2x on-use trinkets, and I already use splinter

solemn current
# lusty grotto cause the shield is broken faster

I’m almost certain the absorb is separate from the damage considering the absorb lasts 20s and the damage last 10s. Either way the logic is it’s already a survivability loss to equip it so if it isn’t doing roughly that much damage for you then there’s no point because splinter will give you more survivability through main stat, not force you to use it offensively, and provide more damage through your abilities.

lusty grotto
#

splinter is purely defensive though

echo egret
#

Aye, that's the goal

waxen frigate
#

You take the damage either way

lusty grotto
#

this is my last season one

#

the big damage comes on use

solemn current
#

1200 main stat vs 800 vers roughly. Main stat IS damage.

lusty grotto
#

the other one is a passive pulse

#

but is less

solemn current
#

Obviously

lusty grotto
#

right so damage wise

#

if the shield breaks before 10s

#

am i smoking crack?

solemn current
#

The shield and damage of the on use are separate

lusty grotto
#

hmm

solemn current
#

Hence the different durations

lusty grotto
#

either way dreadplates just shits all over it

solemn current
#

I’m almost positive that is

lusty grotto
#

i suppose we can test but i trust Nish

waxen frigate
#

Not on pull

lusty grotto
#

right its a pulse for 10s

solemn current
#

Sure, but one is farmable. One requires rng or dinar. I’m just saying rageheart vers scales like ass and you’re probably not gaining much damage if any using it over a splinter all at the cost of a consistent survivability loss.

lusty grotto
#

yeah

patent osprey
#

If only they had sims for this

#

oh wait -_-

#

Fyi I have a normal rageheart on atm

#

ST 5 min sim

#

Adding Dreadplates to the convo ^.^

solemn current
#

I mean ST makes sense yea. I wouldn’t be using either in a raid regardless. I don’t see it being that much of a difference on AoE but you also have to factor in the survivability loss from losing so much main stat.

lusty grotto
#

dreadplates

#

sims

#

are

patent osprey
#

Main stat is great, don't get me wrong, but an on use 1.5 Min CD that basically can't get eaten up by any ability is pretty OP

#

its so versatile

waxen frigate
#

Of course

patent osprey
#

Lol

solemn current
#

Currently stuck with one so yea basically same, but I’d just prefer my main stat to do my damage and have the absorb at my own free will. My 489 Rageheart is doing terrible damage for me in keys and looking at the damage difference of a 528 or 535 I just can’t imagine making a big difference.

patent osprey
#

dreadplates is pretty disgusting if you can keep it up in Large pulls, but in high keys I assume its pretty hard to maintain . Id have to look at a log

#

7 target 1.5min sim

strong forum
#

Nah its almost impossible to lose dread plates due to funny interactions

flint cliff
#

So how is prot after the buffs? Noticeably "better" or still "If you arent VDH that can control whole packs for ages dont even try to tank"?

waxen frigate
#

Well it didn’t impact control basically at all

#

But it does slightly more but still not great damage in keys

strong forum
#

It runs a 1 time hit scan ever 2 seconds, and the plate can only break if on that hit you take more dmg post mit than a plate tooltip requires

#

Parry puts the icd on cd

#

Or any dmg instance

solemn current
#

So yea little over 1-2% loss if used exclusively on CD in exchange for a ton of main stat

strong forum
#

Multiple hits don't accumulate to break a plate

#

It has to be 1 hit large enough to do more than 200k in 1 single instance post-mit, post absorb, post damage reduction from dreadplate

#

At the exact correct second that dreadplate icd comes back up

patent osprey
#

eh :/ sense only had it up 11% of a 16 AV

strong forum
#

Well yeah?

#

It lasts 15 seconds

#

Per use

#

Its akin to a 15sec immunity when it's up

waxen frigate
#

So it’s effectively aegis on prot?

strong forum
#

There's a pin that additionally explains how the trinket works

#

Yes it is nish

waxen frigate
strong forum
#

It's aegis, but it also does big damage

waxen frigate
#

Might have to investigate this further

strong forum
#

Easily one of the best trinkets this season

#

easily

waxen frigate
#

I knew it would be good on prot but not that good

strong forum
#

The reason why so few people played it in s2 was because a) they didn't know how it works and b) didn't do it's damage without breaking a plate

#

Now it always does it's damage, which is capped to 5 targets btw

#

Each on use is ~3mil dmg

potent anvil
#

Dreadplates owns

waxen frigate
#

Well it got reworked lol yea

#

In s2 it wasn’t as good

strong forum
#

And @whole crest integrated on wowa how much dmg dread plates mitigated

waxen frigate

I did see that

Is that for all specs

just said a chance so not sure how big it was

any dungeon it might be worth picking up regardless, if you have a pug you have no clue about?

#

depends on pull size

I'm also using challeing shout a lot, cause I'm undergeared compared to the dps I bring in

but on standard pulls its not THAT bad

yes its standand pulls, no biggy as I'm advancing

daaamn, looks like i should get this fkn dreadplates, i guess dreadplates+treemouth and you'll be immortal

Why would you

no

and there are 20 mob pulls

strong forum
#

depends on your skill level

#

in BH and AA id for sure not use cheatdeath

#

0 tank damage aside from 2 bleeds which are turbo predictable

does dreadplate work if you're not in tank spec? Not sure if it functions like the council trinket from amirdrassil or not

it does

just farm treemouth

partial absorbs are generally stronger

a pin would be nice, its the first thing I read 😄

but thanks for answering a 100th time anyway

lusty grotto
#

youre very welcome

torn gulch
#

there is no pin on this because logic dictates that all shadowflame sources will trigger the ring

as shadowflame is considered fire damage

i just made this up btw i don't know why there is no pin

I just manage to change into the new 4 piece today my HP got about 500k boost, feels so tanky.

#

I think we agree gholak is the best weapon

fallow fern
#

Yea.. but forge I think a close second..?

vestal moat
#

You can sim it but I don't think it's close. Forgestorm loses stats i think

#

another good qustion is whether its worth buying mythic gholak over a heroic one, which is my current situation.

lusty grotto
#

forgestorm is 3rd in line

#

gholak >>>>> strike twice >> forgestorm

Oki have this fun questions some people have answered thousands of times:) Hope y7ou wanna answer again 😛
I read somewhere that Treemouth + enduring dreadplate would be great combo
Also got told by a friend that I should go Fyrakks trinket + stonescale
I have Treemouth in my bag as hero also have blazebinderhoof and a old 483 stonescale
Manic Grieftorch wouldnt really a be for m+ would it? people shouldnt die
The whispering incarnate icon actually needs more people to wear it to
actually do even better due to buffing eachother with it,
Then I also seen the All- totem of the master is a go for trinket for M+
then we have the elementiuam pocket anvil is it good to have to the treemouth or should I use stonescales?
Im trying to find out What to take that would benefit the most

I did craft a shield last week that has shadowflame embalishment on it.

I do alot of m+ so keep that in mind too:)

lusty grotto
#

manic grief is indeed for M+

#

its big damage

#

but it has caveats

#

as in you cannot block/parry while casting, its a big damage trinket for vault keys

vestal moat
#

If you treemouth and dreadplate thts double on use which some may find annoying

lusty grotto
#

as in "easy keys"

#

just follow the pinned list

#

and get diurna (if you got gholak already)

#

treemouth is more than enough defensivewise

lyric glen
#

so I go treemouth and what trinket? the blazehoof?

lusty grotto
#

yeah

lyric glen
#

oki thats what I wear

lusty grotto
#

you can farm a stonescales if you want a cheat

#

well not farm since lockout

lyric glen
#

tho I feel the blazehoof doesnt do as much damage as the branch I had last season

lusty grotto
#

thats cause it a str trinket

#

it'll increase your damage

#

substantially, but not provide a nuke on its own until it explodes

violet ginkgo
#

but cheat is a bit... meh right? If your run is smooth then other trinket is better?

lusty grotto
#

of course

#

cheat is only needed to push rank 1 keys if anything

lyric glen
#

Well what do you count as easy keys? Im aiming todo above 10s:)

lusty grotto
#

and its also a pain in the ass to farm

#

cause people fucking just get deleted on 2nd boss

fallow fern
#

Is anyone taking rageheart still? I just got so used to hitting it for the sheild I kinde want it back lol

lusty grotto
violet ginkgo
lusty grotto
#

i mean some people are

#

but treemouth and/or dreadplates are better defensively since partial shields last longer

undone beacon
#

Managed to get a splinter with leech, plus I have the blazehoof so im livin my best life

lyric glen
#

But what would be the best combo trinkets ?

lusty grotto
#

there is no best combo

#

its all situational

lyric glen
#

thats meh;(

green trench
#

So treemouth + deadplates is not a good combo?

lusty grotto
#

i dont agree its meh

#

its good having options

fallow fern
#

But treemouth does less dmg than rageheart.. so it's a trade-off no?

lusty grotto
#

youre asking for a defensive option

#

if you want damage, you go damage

fallow fern
#

I like the balance

lusty grotto
#

as there are better damaging trinkets

undone beacon
#

im using hoof + splinter, dreadplates + splinter seems like overkill

lyric glen
#

well we would want one offensive and one defensive ofc

lusty grotto
#

not quite

lyric glen
#

no? What would you go with?

lusty grotto
#

but both dreadplates and rageheart have damage components

lyric glen
#

like you personal opinion

lusty grotto
#

whatever sims highest

lyric glen
#

What do you have now then?

lusty grotto
#

i only swap to defensive trinkets when i know for a fact i will need them

#

i havent bought trinkets so

#

just what ive gotten

fallow fern
#

Tree mouth won't sim high tho will it? It's purely defense

lyric glen
#

you took diurna?

lusty grotto
#

i took leggo upgrade 1st, then gholak

#

and will get diurna next week

lyric glen
#

ahh ok I took gholak last week. and debating with myself and you guys what to take 😛

fallow fern
#

But on the other hand, Rageheart still Sims decent.. plus a good defense.. so is it a good balance option?

undone beacon
#

If an alltotem doesnt drop for me next week i might just buy one because i love that thing

lusty grotto
#

wowhead has a list under bis gear of trinkets and their ranking in strength

#

just go there and follow it

#

and make your own decision

lusty grotto
undone beacon
#

Im getting rageheart on my surv hunter instead

lusty grotto
#

why not get faceless ire instead?

#

its a much better option for non tanking classes

lyric glen
#

but if I have treemouth , rageheart seems kinda the same just more damage output

lusty grotto
#

if you want a defensive shield

hoary bough
#

decide to try and get splinter since it sounded great, got it first go +8 BRH LETSGOOO

lusty grotto
#

plus you can use it on people

undone beacon
#

I like the passive damage on the rageheart, but ire is another good choice yeah

lusty grotto
#

nice Ave

#

ire is also

#

a minute cd

#

which is hella fucking stronger

#

than 1.5

undone beacon
#

oh wait really? I thought it was 1.5 min as well for whatever reason

lusty grotto
#

it got buffed

undone beacon
#

oh shit I missed that

#

Sounds like ire in my future then

lusty grotto
#

my heals are all getting it

fallow fern
#

I had a Heroic tree mouth in vault but didn't take it cause I don't really need that pure of a defensive I didn't think.. but now maybe kicking myself.. I'll maybe try farming one..

lusty grotto
#

cause its very good as both a personal and added support

hoary bough
#

running splinter + dreadplate would be 2 extra buttons 💀

left trout
#

what key lvl is ports this tier if we didnt really play other seasons for them

lyric glen
#

Isnt the faceless trinket a bit risky? I mean it says it gives the damage to the last enemey who strike it, but if that enemy dies you loose out of that damage?

lusty grotto
#

thats not the point

#

faceless ire is also not as good as the other mentioned

plush tendon
#

the damage from Ire is more like a tickle

lusty grotto
#

its just the best option for NON Tanking classes

lyric glen
#

and the beacon is a no go anymore everything else seems better

lusty grotto
#

yeah augusto is right

plush tendon
#

Grieftorch exists

#

makes beacon useless

lusty grotto
#

grieftorch is better so no beacon

this list of best buy of bullion is just a couple of weeks of farm just to get all the fire extra buffs you can get, especially when I only have gholak of all these , but then again the bis list compared to this aint the same so can make anyone confused as....

lusty grotto
#

most bis list items you cant get with bullions

#

such as myth track tier etc

lyric glen
#

yeah I know but thinking trinkets and those couple of rings there

hybrid cloak
#

I personally would not get an icon with a bullion until veryyyyy late. if at all.

lusty grotto
#

the rings are very rare and they are BIS for EVERYONE

#

so yes they are in there

south zealot
#

beacon has no main stat as well

lyric glen
#

also makes my braincells dance around when wowhead describe so manyt rinkets as the "best warrior tank trinkets" and so many of them. just makes me wonder , so I choose the right combo and just go smash everyhting to pieces:)

south zealot
#

theres a lot of good trinkets for different situations

south zealot
#

the best 2 tank trinkets are treemouth and dreadplates

violet ginkgo
#

@lusty grotto Let's say this scenario as I saw you already buy the leggy upgrade for 1st buy right

1st buy: leggy
2nd buy: Gholak?
3rd buy: Ring of diurna

then come the time for 4th buy but this point you haven't been lucky with the raid trinket and so far only using from M+, now it's the time to buy the trinket for the deeps, what will you buy on that?

south zealot
#

best damage for m+ is dreadplates and alltotem or dreadplates and anvil

#

best raid is anvil and grieftorch probably

lusty grotto
south zealot
#

theres so many good trinkets in raid

green trench
#

if i have treemouth

#

should go for alltotem or deraD?

lyric glen
south zealot
hybrid cloak
#

@lyric glen imo grieftorch, augury are very safe bets for raid.
i'd run ragehearts + augury/grieftorch for m+. you can run treemouths instead of ragehearts if you have that.

anvil / brand are good but fights dont last long enough with nerfs.

lyric glen
south zealot
#

alltotem and anvil are both really good in m+

what u craft second guys?

hybrid cloak

all totem is lackluster imo. the rng nature of it makes it pretty meh imo.

waxen frigate
#

All totem is very very good, especially for a fully passive option

south zealot
#

the good thing about dreads and treemouth is that they are both really fucking strong defensive options

waxen frigate

It’s a predictable pattern and you can expect it to proc off cooldown

you never need to use both of them

And you’re aware none of those trinkets serve the same role all totem does

both top warriors are running cheat death so /shrug

south zealot

why cheat when you can pop a treemouth and avoid dying

hybrid cloak

cause you run both

south zealot

maybe because theyre pushing rank 1 keys

All totem is a very strong passive option for all content both offensively and defensively

But doesn’t excel over specialized trinkets in either area

south zealot

yeah all-totem is best passive trinket

other than i guess signet

maybe

so all totem better than Blazehoof?

i mean anvil is basically passive

for m+ at l;east

so if I go Treemouth + all totem I would go kinda ok right?:)

Honestly, buy whatever you want at this point, this is a for fun season and trinket choice is going to matter a lot less than just pressing buttons at the right time

#

Anvil is good, but a lot of people hate Anvil gaming

id buy dreadplates

Sure but that's not always an option in every dungeon when you actually need it

next yacht
#

Isnt easy to keep anvil up with spiteful?

final mist
#

Spiteful isn't active every week

#

Point being that the forethought Anvil asks of you isn't fun for some people so other trinket options might be better for sheer simplicity of use (ex. Grieftorch)

hushed cobalt
#

Never had grieftorch before, it's a channel and you can't block/parry during it right? So you need stuns/rop/etc..?

lusty grotto

its like beacon

except you can move

Embarrassingly also never had beacon 😓

lusty grotto

you can do it prepull or just rip it after a shockwave

or mid early pull

ideally when mobs are close together

I just used Grieftorch as an example, not saying it's the only alternative, we have so many options for good raid trinkets to play with

you will still bullion gholak regardless

unless you can clear mythic awakened fyrakk

i mean, if oyu get a champ oir a hero track, you can delay it
