ok strike twice is god aweful

#

NO +10

#

the ring I get, I dont deal fire damage

undone beacon
#

I mean it’s .6% free extra damage but yeah compared to Gholak it’s no contest

strong forum
#

It's literally free damage

#

Strike twice comes at no downside

#

It's not gholak, but forgestorm has to do 3.6% of your overall just to break even with Strike twice

#

Strike twice is literally the 2nd best weapon in the game

lusty grotto
#

forgestorm also sims lower

strong forum

Forgestorm stinky

echo egret
#

Chrono-Lord Deios : do the sand pools disappear eventually ?

lusty grotto
#

yea

#

and time sink dispels also makes them disappear, but those are random

echo egret
#

ok

lusty grotto
#

you shouldnt rely on those though

#

just sit on them on rewind to clear a path

echo egret
#

no, it's just to know wether the sand pools are your enrage timer or not

lusty grotto
#

i dont think so

#

but you can get overwhelmed

echo egret
#

yeah, so they can fill up the room before the first ones disappear then

lusty grotto
#

si

south zealot
#

how do you do a super bloom

lusty grotto
#

just afk at the end

#

of the tree's walk

#

err actually you gotta get 50 of the things right?

#

just kill the mobs that spawn

#

and then afk near the end thats it

south zealot
#

i mean how do you start it

#

where does it start

violet ginkgo
#

it starts with one thing

lusty grotto
#

just look for the horn in the map

south zealot
#

its every hour right

lusty grotto
#

i think so

waxen frigate
#

There’s always groups in lfg too

crystal iris
#

I end up playing prot only when I cant get into keys as DPS, then realize its super fun

toxic pewter
#

why chargath seem harder than i remember

south zealot
#

because it got changed

#

boss fucking owns now

toxic pewter
#

during chains im taking insane dam

south zealot
#

yeah he actually does tank damage now

toxic pewter
#

pretty awful

#

ngl

#

even with defensives

#

he hurt bad

lusty grotto

livid onyx
#

is this trinket any good for m+?

lusty grotto
#

its ok

#

far from trash

#

there are better but that one is pretty solid

livid onyx

manic mural
#

is the 75% mitigation stacked on top of our class mitigations and then subtracted from the absorb?

lusty grotto
#

its not stacked

#

actually

#

yes it is

manic mural
#

by stacked i meant multiplied.
Seems pretty decent

lusty grotto
#

yeah its pretty decent

violet ginkgo
#

Btw the both ring from vault raid, do they have proc per minute or pure random?

crisp junco
#

hello guys, which 2 embellishments do you guys suggest for only m+ as prot warr? 2x shadowflame?

lusty grotto
#

filial has the same flags and ppm

crystal iris
#

if you dont use it while a mob is mid pack, will it silence them? or needs to be an interrupt to work

lusty grotto
lusty grotto
#

its not a blanket silence (i thought it was)

crisp junco
lusty grotto
#

my opinions are what the wowhead guide suggests

#

because its written by our mods and admins

violet ginkgo
#

Thx nim I’ll check it later for the details.

rocky kraken
#

is there a big difference between treemouth trinket and enduring dreadplates?

lusty grotto
#

treemouth is the stronger of the two defensivewise

crystal iris
lusty grotto
#

dreadplates deal damage, treemouth doesnt

#

its also a lot of damage

#

wowhead also has a breakdown of those 2 under the bis gear section

crystal iris
#

it that from Kaz?

lusty grotto
#

dreadplates? yes

rigid hull
#

is there an enchant for shield

lusty grotto
#

no

crystal iris
#

damn

#

the tank in my raid got dreadplates. He offered it to me because someone told him it was trash but I was like nah since I mostly play arms

lusty grotto
#

its S tier for us

toxic pewter
#

dreadplate the sleeper hit of the season

lusty grotto
#

for any tank really

crystal iris
#

but I tanked an 11 with S3 shield and only a cheat trinket. I'll have to get a new shield and I guess treemouth will do until that raid comes up again

lusty grotto
#

it used to be trash in s2

#

it got buffed in this season

crystal iris
#

hopefully gnarlroot shield today

lusty grotto
#

yeah i have to pug mythic too

#

since my guild is playing the lax mode season

urban portal
#

dont worry about the 75% mitigation

#

just pretend its a 1.2 mil shield

south zealot
#

even in season 2 iirc it was still an INSANE defensive trinket for prot warriors

#

i might be mis remembering though

lusty grotto
#

in freehold yea

south zealot
#

the issue was that it just never fucking broke

#

so it did no damage bc the expired plates didnt send off the missiles

lusty grotto
spark cedar
#

Got heroic track gholak should i still prio buying it for bullions :S

lusty grotto
#

you can probably hold out a little bit

#

grab other stuff these 2 weeks

spark cedar
#

got heroic track signet and heroic track alltotem

#

so i guess i go for diurna and not sure what else :D?

lusty grotto
#

yeah that sounds good

compact silo
#

So we spam SS and TC, which piles up rage(along eith ravager avatar etc.).What to dump rage on after IP and SB? Only revenge and exe?

lusty grotto
#

prio is IP/SB cause they are off gcd

compact silo
#

Looking to get into tanking after primarily playing arms

lusty grotto
#

and SB is our primary mitigation

compact silo
#

Even though i leveled the char on prot

lusty grotto
#

revenge is a distant 3rd

#

execute in ST

compact silo
lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter

#

you keep pressing IP

compact silo
#

Just keep spamming?

#

Ok

#

So TC->SS->IP(at all times)?

lusty grotto
#

SS >>>> TC

#

IP if SB is up

compact silo
#

Isnt tc prio on multi target?

lusty grotto
#

no

compact silo
#

Why not?

lusty grotto
#

less overall damage

#

less rage gen

#

less wall cdr

compact silo
#

Even when you have 4+ targets?

lusty grotto
#

yes

compact silo
#

Aha

lusty grotto
#

also make sure youre using outburst on SS

#

not on TC

compact silo
#

Thanks

#

So rotation should be:

-throw weapon+charge
-avatar+ravag+thunder toar
-demoralising shout
And then just keep spamming SS, TC and IP and SB

#

?

blazing condor
#

ravager before charge

lusty grotto
#

i guess

#

either work

#

theres nothing set in stone, its a priority system

compact silo
#

Aha

lusty grotto
#

and additionally you might wanna demo before SC

#

but demo after ravager/troar still dynamically updates

compact silo
#

What does demo do aside generate rage and reduce dmg taken

blazing condor
#

you should pre-throw ravager > charge + avatar on same GCD

#

with Booming Voice talent demo shout makes you deal more% damge

compact silo
#

I see

blazing condor
#

so you can demo shout into thunderous roar / shield charge

lusty grotto
#

yeah read the booming voice description

compact silo
#

I will once i get home hah I don't have access to pc til Friday

lusty grotto
#

you can read it there

compact silo
#

I'm just going off of memory on what abilities were

#

Ok

olive spoke
#

I press revenge way to much then

compact silo
#

Also how to make macro/keybind for changing stances?

lusty grotto
#

revenge is only used to reset SS when TC isnt up, so yeah that's a very common mistake

lusty grotto
#

it has the macro

compact silo
#

Ok

crystal iris
#

it doesnt do much dps either

#

was 9th DPS in a 30 man heroic raid on Igira with Idol and Anvil lol

south zealot
#

shield slam is number 1 prio in all situations\

humble schooner
#

make sure to use the SS / IP macro, helps a lot

compact silo
#

How high on the list of dps is shield charge?

lusty grotto
#

bro

#

can you open

#

the link

#

it literally has all those answers

compact silo
#

I did lol

south zealot
#

no way man

#

i had to do the spark quest

#

to get the catchup sparks

olive spoke
#

Do I used this as my SS button now?

lusty grotto
#

lmao choco

#

NO

#

thats your IP button

south zealot
#

use that as your ignore pain keybind

lusty grotto
#

and IP only

#

you need a separate SS bind

olive spoke
#

No wonder my dps isn't great

lusty grotto
#

that macro has nothing to do with dps

strong forum
#

Well if it's used as your SS button

#

It'll ruin your dps

#

If IP didn't work for AM on prot the class would be licking the floor

lusty grotto
#

thats why you have to literally use it as a rage dump

compact silo
strong forum
#

And we'd do about 50% less damage

lusty grotto
#

it is what it is, we know, we play arms here

south zealot
#

youd be better off tanking as a moonkin chilling in bear form i feel like

olive spoke
#

So literally mainly use rev to proc more ss. I think I just need to move around my key binds a bit muscle memory has me pressing rev all the time

lusty grotto
#

its ok if you use it at the start of a pull for some quick agro

#

just dont use it recurringly

compact silo
#

Doesn't tc generate more aggro?

lusty grotto
#

sure?

#

but tc goes on cd

compact silo
#

I guess

lusty grotto
#

its not a guess, it goes on cd

don't overcomplicate it, you'll press SS and TC plenty

you want to have it off cd in case you need to leave combat for more than 15 seconds

so you can extend by reusing it

So i have 2 515 rings right now (No seal), but crap trinkets, since i got Gholak with my first 2 bullion, would it be better to get a better trinket for now over seal? I know seal is listed second, but i feel like a trinket would be a better choice right now.

#

or is seal just that good?

olive spoke
#

Everyone is raving about anvil

#

That snip was from a +7 just to testing out a new play style (the right play style)

yeah, and all the damage im seeing is that anvil is a good chunk of it for those that have it.

toxic pewter
#

when fighting chargath where do you guys positiong yourselves when the chains come out and he leaps to you assumming you are in a pug

jagged gust
#

Near the door

#

If the pugs have a braincell you can get them to position n/s while you drag the boss from e -> w, but usually it's just absolute mayhem

toxic pewter
#

when he leaps to you can he actually break a chain while leaping or no

jagged gust
#

There's a weird interaction with leaps and chains, I can't answer for certain because the hitbox do be funky

just really not having a good time with that boss this patch

yo guys, someone got the link the all the change for classe in this patch ? cant find it on wow head

jagged gust
#

or do you mean for the entirety of the season, that's just the most recent notes

sterile rapids
# olive spoke and seal isnt even in the top

The thing with seal is that it's "free damage". Every trinket is giving you damage, so the value of a bullion trinket is weighed relative to the trinket you had before. IE a trinket will often be closer to a 1-2% upgrade after removing the value of your previous one, assuming it wasn't just crazy ilvls behind.

The ring is the only ring giving damage, so it's not competing on anything but the secondaries. So even if it's worth 1%, that's a straight 1% that isn't really being diminished elsewhere.

#

It's still all relative for each character and none of them are making or breaking your potential or damage for the 2 week wait til your next item, so once you have your weapon it's whatever - but it's a harder item to compare by just eyeballing.

not dps,

#

Well, base, just on tooltip alone, it's auto damage + 11k

tribal wharf
#

thats that one you have to hit manuall bfa right

does it carry over 30% more dmg to the talent, basically,

Any recommended weak aura profiles for prot tanking?

You ultimately just need to track:

You can either just make some quick ones, hijack stuff from Nome's profile from wago (it might be in pins, maybe?)

Genshii's ignore pain tracker is my reccomend. Very well made withadditional customization in the config

it times out if you dont refresh it

so tracking that i guess?

Do you have any logs?

That would clear things up in an instant.

Nothing from piror

Honestly I feel the same way sometimes, in keys and arena. Shit is weird.

In this 11 av

from a 200k overall

No

How long are your boss fights?

ionic fern

This week is tyrannical tho. Last week was Fortified.

waxen orbit
#

Leymore was like

#

2:59

steady moth
#

2nd and 3rd boss would be causing a higher DPS loss because of more immune phases.

#

2nd boss was usually getting 1 phased last week, now it could be 2, same thing with 3rd, 2 could turn into 3.

waxen orbit
#

I have not even hit

#

2nd boss yet

#

:T

#

Overall is 151k

wtf is this bullshit

south zealot

you have no logs from last week?

Shiet this last boss from HOI doesn't hit himself hard enough Rampage

What the actual fuck

#

Logging now

wut you doing?

waxen orbit

The same shit I was doing last week when I did 199k overall

#

I swear to fucking Christ they put a - in front of that + patch note

#

Like what the fuck is this fucking bullshit I'm actually pissed

manic mural
#

i mean, stuff living shorter and more ST.

waxen orbit
#

It's spiteful

#

I'm doing >100k ST

#

When last week I was doing

#

140-150k ST

#

at 494 ilvl

#

I am literally doing S2 numbers tonight

manic mural
#

did you drop battering ram for alacrity?

waxen orbit
#

No

manic mural
#

thats supposed to be a thing for ST and MT apparently. though probably not as much of differeance as youre seeing

waxen orbit
#

That's a 10% damage nerf to Battering Ram

#

That wouldn't change 199k

#

to 119k

#

though

#

btw to clarify I'm not arguing with you or mad at anyone here I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it

manic mural
#

missing 10% atk speed too

waxen orbit
#

because something is clearly haywire

#

Yeah but that wouldn't change THAT much

manic mural
#

no

#

did your sim change?

waxen orbit
#

Let me check with identical gear

strong forum
#

Bosses live longer

#

So ofc your ST dps goes down lol

#

I'm still doing 160-170k ST dps

#

So idk man

waxen orbit
#

Yeah exactly

strong forum
#

Skill issue Dab

waxen orbit
#

It's not that.

#

I am performing identical to what I was doing when I was doing 150k ST at 494 literally on Monday night.,

#

It is not a "skill issue"

#

Yeah like the fucking sim is the same

#

This shit is infuriating

#

I don't get it

#

That's with M+ talents on too

#

Are we supposed to change our rotations?

manic mural
#

i thinhk what he is saying.. is if bosses live longer, you have less lust time %, so less ST dmg as a result

waxen orbit
#

That's

#

But most of my damage came from AOE

#

I distinctly remember that

strong forum
#

Right

waxen orbit
#

and if shit is living shorter now, and there's also spiteful

#

I'd be doing more

strong forum
#

And on tyr you do less overall.

waxen orbit
#

because the burst would profile

#

Right but

#

199k

#

to 119k

#

Is inherently

#

way too much

strong forum
#

Idk my damage is exactly the same to last week

waxen orbit
#

and on patch release

300k in AA

waxen orbit

it was also Tyran

Maybe I'm just like

Nome.... will DBM and bigwig conflict with each other? I need some addon for boss dungeon's CD. I heard for dungeon is bigwig-littlewig right?

Did you wear wigs?

I've not used dbm in 4 expansions so idk if you had to download dungeon packs for it

violet ginkgo
#

oh there is another thing that need to be installed? kk will check on it

south zealot
#

if i didnt have to 1v2 first boss in brackenhide overall would be mucho higher

#

so much time in that boss fight sadge

lusty grotto
#

and for reworked mythic+ old dungeons you need their expansion packs

#

bigwigs you just install littlewigs and thats it

violet ginkgo
#

what about dbm vs bigwig Nim? is there one better than the other?

waxen frigate
#

Bigwigs is usually preferred

lusty grotto
#

either is fine

waxen frigate
#

Dbm is simpler and easier out of the box though

lusty grotto
#

but thats the 2ndary addon you need for DF dungeons

waxen frigate
#

And in 99.9% of cases it won’t matter what yo u have

#

Unless we get another echo of neltharion

south zealot
#

just have whatever your guild uses

#

i was using dbm for years, join another guild they use bigwigs

#

now i use bigwigs

lusty grotto
#

you might need these as well

#

since were getting SoB back next exp you need BFA and so forth

#

actually those are raid mods

#

so you dont need them

#

just the one i linked

#

i guess they bunched it up on a single package like littlewigs

violet ginkgo
#

Alright thx Nome and Nim 👍

waxen orbit

Okay

#

Did an 8

#

and we're back to 193k overall

despite low ilvl

I guess it's legit just relog xd

#

got this one on my prot today would you till buy the other wep from bullion? or what would you guys go for?

ionic fern
#

Fryakk weapon is by far our best weapon, so i would still go for the weapon, yes.

#

If you got some poor trinkets right now, you can also pick a trinket up now ,and take Fryakk weapon next week for example.

weak imp
#

fyi i hav around 440 ilvl and this is my first alt for s4

#

XD

#

i have not spend any bullion so i will get 2 bullions this week ^^

#

bullion items

ionic fern
#

You still want to aim for the Fryakk weapon down the line.
If you just want to up your ilvl you can also go for a trinket this week, and get the Weapon later.

#

I'd probably do it like this:
1)Diurna's Ring
2)Trinket
3)Fryakk weapon.

weak imp
#

what trinkets would you go for. will prob only do m+ and what do we have that proc the ring?

ionic fern
#

Shadowflame embellishment.

weak imp
#

sorry for so many questions im new here ^^

ionic fern
#

Which you want to go for.

ionic fern
weak imp
#

any prefed slot that we want embelishments on?

ionic fern

Yes, Back + Wrists due to lower stat budgets.

new weapon and 1 upgrade on sholders

Hey all, question around the haste cap. Should we be aiming towards 7100 including Wafting Devotion or excluding?

ionic fern
#

Excluding.

lament musk
#

yoooo i have that much haste

ionic fern
#

Also, don't take that "haste-cap" so seriously, it's not like you MUST have 7100 haste.

lament musk
#

i'm the only person who wants gholak for prot adventures in today's mythic clear

#

hope i get it

ionic fern

I'm sitting at around 6.3k i think and feeling really comfortable with my SB up-time.

Yeah, you MUST have 7099 haste or unplayable

what should i get next

#

with bullion

ionic fern
#

No idea since i can't see the ilevels.

pallid quiver
#

a trinket that actually does damage or rings, probs, but

cosmetics is the real answer

also above

ionic fern
#

Is that the Diurna's ring?

pallid quiver
#

Don't think so, they're both red iirc

ionic fern
#

1)Diurna's ring;
2)A offensive trinket;

rigid hull
#

ye casual rings

#

alright

#

so that ring is broken ive heard?

pallid quiver
#

is the one actually from diurna,

#

eggnog

ionic fern
#

Diurna's CHOSEN ring.

rigid hull
#

@ionic fern also how does it work

#

war doenst have fire damage

#

gholak?

#

or my emblishment

pallid quiver
#

it works off all the shadowflame stuff, so gholak, helm, etc

rigid hull
#

i see

pallid quiver
#

Also, the bottom ring is the one of note for prot war

ionic fern
pallid quiver
#

since it does damage instead of an absorb shield

rigid hull
#

IM fresh

ionic fern
#

Think you had to do something in raids to get it.

pallid quiver
#

It was the Amirdrassil little mini questline

#

Gives a head enchant that does different things depending on role

ionic fern
ionic fern
rigid hull
rigid hull
ionic fern
#

No.

#

But again, it's higher ilvl + a free proc..

#

Not something you should actively aim for tho.

pallid quiver
#

Definitely not worth soup cubes

rigid hull
#

which trinket should i get tho

#

i only have these 2

ionic fern
#

Anvil is a solid mid-ground between raid and m+´.

#

If you can keep it up.

weak imp
#

@ionic fern well now i got the gholak from same raid so no point to buy that now then i guess XD

rigid hull
#

raids are boring

#

damn singet looks sick

#

signet*

ionic fern
#

Jeah, signet is also great, if you can keep it up.

pallid quiver
#

Of note is that enduring dreadplates does do a non-zero amount of aoe damage, as well, so if you want to swap the rageheart with another more defensively inclined trink

ionic fern
#

Jeah, Dreadplates is great.

rose pier
#

Hello. Which race would you recommand for war prot ? Dwarf ? Iron Dwarf ? Orc ? Something else ?

ionic fern
#

My ideal setup would probably be Anvil + Dreadplates (or Treemouth).

pallid quiver
#

If you're aiming for optimale, it's a dorf of some kind

#

Since it lets you solve bleeds by yourself

pallid quiver
ionic fern
#

I'm gonna get Diurna's ring this week.

#

And then a trinket the next one.

pallid quiver
#

simply have one drop

U like worgen animations play worgen

Good things dorfs are pretty great, tho

#

Though I'm a cow for life

ionic fern
#

I wanna go cow tbh.

#

But i don't trust my healers to dispell me.

pallid quiver
#

I recommend being a cow because big.

I don't recommend being a cow because big.

ionic fern
#

The amount of times i've had to dispell myself on the first boss of AA is astonishing.

pallid quiver
#

Never forget that with banner size increase, I couldn't get through a doorway in Workshop as cow

#

so i had to manually click off banner and it felt real bad

rose pier
#

So between dwarf and irondwarf, i guess dwarf is better due to the 10% dmg reduction ?

jagged pier
#

Dwarf is better

ionic fern
#

Dwaf is better due to 2% crit damage.

I enjoy DI dworf for the size increase

Obviously incorrect.

The correct answer is BRF.

blazing condor

how come mods get to use emotes from other servers and we dont

#

we're being opressed rn sadge

rigid hull
#

what does the enchant do for prot?

#

head enchant

ionic fern
violet ginkgo
weak imp
#

so for m+ focus you would go for anvil over signet?

ionic fern
#

Anvil is easier to keep up in Mythic+ due to the active.

#

That said, Signet still pumps, but it's a bit spicier to keep up.

weak imp
#

the all master of totem trinket, is it any good at all?

pallid quiver
#

It's a very solid trinket in M+ for damage, but it's not so great in raid since you're not being whacked as much

ionic fern
#

^

weak imp
#

well im not raiding at all ^^ so i just looking for m+ options ^^

blazing condor
#

then its a good trinket peepoHappy

weak imp
#

it it better then anvil or signet tho that the big question ^^

pallid quiver
#

Both require you to maintain their stacks the entire time, with Signet being a lot more strict on that

#

You'd also want to consider Dreadplates, as well, since it does do a non-zero amount of damage in aoe

ionic fern
#

Signet/Anvil,purely offensive with a heavy drop off if you can't keep them up properly.
Dreadplates/All-master a mix of defensive and offensive.

#

Only you know if you can keep signet/anvil up or not.

weak imp
#

i saw som people talk about fyrak trinket, the dps one

pallid quiver
#

he's goin' to vegas

#

Augury can be a bit RNG from time to time, since it can low or high roll

#

It's likely not as worthwhile this time around since we have access to some of the other bonkos trinkets that were in raid, and other trinkets, like dreadplates, got adjusted

pallid quiver
blazing condor
#

too much teleportin

pallid quiver
#

walk down the stairs, whelp just looks at me

#

"what, you gonna alert all these mobs for your stacks?"

#

and i think about it

#

but then the books

#

it's all bait, all of it

#

an anvil i can work with, signet no

blazing condor
#

arent there critters around the stair area

pallid quiver
#

i don't recall seeing any, but it wouldn't surprise me

blazing condor
#

i dont know i havent played since s1

pallid quiver
#

I'm pretty positive there's some in the drop after azureblade/2nd boss

violet ginkgo
pallid quiver
#

i think i can make it between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd boss area in less than 15 seconds; that's actually a neat thing to try next time I'm there

violet ginkgo
#

@ionic fern for dreadplate do we actually want it to rupture one by one? I mean isn’t all the stacks rupture in the end?

pallid quiver
#

That actually got changed this season and is why the trinket is good now; you actually get the damage guaranteed now

violet ginkgo
#

Oh I see, because I saw in the pinned post it was mentioned about blood DK sometimes having difficulty breaking it so I am confused if we want to break it 1 by 1 or not. Thx for the confirm luerce.

#

Also I don’t think you can keep signet at ruby? Between 1st and 2nd boss the RP dragon riding definitely too long but can always keep it up from 2nd and 3rd.

So I’m used to playing bdk and haven’t ever had much difficulty with the first boss of AV, but tried it on a 6 on Tuesday as a prot warrior at 495ish ilvl and was getting absolutely stomped. Seemed like I was running out of defensives eventually for the tank buster and if the healer didn’t have something it was gg

#

Is this a sign I’m messing up or does that sound normal

solid sun
#

Is the smash Infused Strike?

ionic fern
#

You deflect it with Spell Reflect.

azure nimbus
#

You can deflect the main tank buster ( with the dot ) so it will change drastically the fight

ionic fern
#

The only thing that does damage there is the frontal,and that's not too bad.

azure nimbus
#

Don’t stay melee when he bump you, keep SR for deflect and if you want to play it safe you one defensive when he uses frontals

Alrighty

The frontal is magic damage.

Do we have anything for this week affix ? im using stun / interrupt....

fear

but u cant solo it with fear iirc

we are warrior, we do not have anything

Is there a way to lock in a slot in a sim run? raidbots really has it out for my cheat death trinket

crimson bolt
#

dreadplate or fyrak's tainted regeheart for m+?

toxic pewter
crimson bolt
#

I'm kinda confused thou

#

it says the dreadplate only works AFTER absorbs

#

doesn't our IP counts as absorb?

toxic pewter
#

yah dreadplate is really good for us because the plates do not break as often as other tanks perhaps so they stay up and do more defense and after 15 seconds a big burst of damage from all 5 plates goes off

#

def read pin nome wrote about the trinket

crimson bolt
#

I did read the pin

#

do we want the plates to break, or we want them to stay intact?

#

cause I was under the impression they did dmg when they borke

ionic fern
#

Real simple.
If you don't take enough damage to break the trinkets "plate" thanks to our IP, the trinket continues to absorb damage.

crimson bolt
#

oohhhh

ionic fern
#

Even if all the plates stay up, they last 15 seconds.

#

After that, the damage part occurs.

crimson bolt
#

got it! I think

#

thanks a lot for the clarification

ionic fern
#

More IP absorbs = plates stay up longer from trinket = more DR value from trinket.

crimson bolt
#

how much versa you guys running atm btw?

#

ish?

unkempt cargo
#

How strong is the trinket dps wise, all totem of the master?

ionic fern

Last time i checked last patch it was like 3%.

and I thought I was running low with 26%

#

ouch

ionic fern
#

This is RLP +12 by some random prot warrior

But not by purpose.

It's just that it's my highest item level gear.

oh wago has this

Either that or go for a more dps heavy trinket

Jeah, ideal setup is an offensive trinket + defensive one.
For high ones, you might even wanna use on-use defensive+cheat death.
For lower ones you can use double offensive.

#

"High", "Low" obviously depends on your own familiarity of the class and keys etc.

violet ginkgo
#

so the middle ground is the 1 offensive and 1 defensive.

waxen frigate
#

^ I run granyth if I’m at all anxious or uncertain since it just gives me an extra button. I’m returning to the spec after not playing it for a while, so if I fumble my other CDs it’s another backup

But as I get more comfortable I’m swapping back to double offensive
