like im gunna give mop remix ago but having DF class design is

pallid quiver
#

just wait, jakey, they're trying to speedrun cata classic so we can get to mop classic faster

jagged pier
#

🙏

median tulip
#

I think I'm going to try DK in MoP:R

jagged pier
#

like praying for mop classic

rapid jewel
#

mop remis is fun if you want to create an alt army or when you want an ridiculous op char for once

pallid quiver
#

mop classic comes out, I'd make a second account to play with you guys on EU

#

love pandaland

strong forum
#

I'd only play it to yoink the heirloom weapons

jagged pier
#

I have the heirloom weps

strong forum
#

Cuz I only have the 2h axe from back then (I never tmog it cuz it doesn't fit anything)

plush tendon
#

MoP remix is good to level new toons yea?

#

and theres no mop talent trees or anything

strong forum
#

They won't be able to transfer over until 11.0

#

But yes

plush tendon
#

... I might just play druid or brew then

strong forum
#

It's retail wow classes, but mop content

rapid jewel
#

yeah, the first one is quicker then actual live, but the second and third are so fast to level

strong forum
#

With dumb meme powers

plush tendon
#

I already have max level other tanks

median tulip
#

They should be in a decent place to start levelling in TWW tho

strong forum
#

Intended to be dumb

plush tendon
#

but I can still get plate TMOG if I play a none plate tank?

strong forum
#

In 11.0 you can

pallid quiver
#

I'm gonna make a third warrior for mop remix

#

then i might finally level a hunter up

median tulip
#

I'm mostly just going to do it to get Tusks, NGL

strong forum
#

Even retroactively, as long as you have the item on your character somewhere

plush tendon
#

man, I just want MoP talents

#

give me back talent rows

strong forum
#

All the stuff collected will be unlocked for tmog

plush tendon

Iunno

#

Both systems are kinda whack

#

DF trees gives you the same illusion of choice as cata style trees

#

98% will play the same shit

median tulip
#

I mean, you CAN play whatever you want in the current system. You SHOULDN'T, but you CAN

strong forum
#

Except DF trees give everyone infinitely more utility than you had access to prior

waxen frigate
strong forum
#

Sure but at the end of the day

#

Shame shit different tree

pallid quiver
#

I like these trees more than rows because it feels better to level

waxen frigate
#

But I think ultimately being truly choice based is gonna not be a thing ever in current gaming culture

plush tendon
#

its all the same to me... DF trees are just old talent trees but with extra steps

strong forum
#

I think the prot tree is particularly bad for leveling

median tulip
#

There are a number of issues with the trees as they stand, and the Warrior ones in particular

strong forum
#

Cuz all your buttons are locked behind lvl 60+

#

Before that prot is extremely bare bones

pallid quiver
#

yeah, i felt it while levelling the dorf war with ghash

median tulip
#

I will die on this hill: Avatar is in the wrong place in the class tree

strong forum
#

And doesn't have self healing

jagged pier
#

i love our trees being literally 1 build with no choice

pallid quiver
#

But I still enjoyed it more getting a talent point every level

jagged pier
pallid quiver
#

That's just a me feel thing, though

strong forum
#

Like, I had an easy time leveling, but only because I know exactly what I'm doing

pallid quiver
#

It's worse overall as a design for the class/spec, I feel, but it just felt better for me personally

strong forum
#

Someone who doesn't know will have a hard time understanding what's what

plush tendon
#

too many classes are 1 build with two or three 'choice' points

strong forum
#

Which is why my leveling guide section for the mop stuff is quite negative for pre-60

#

Cuz it's just true

#

The class is clunky until like level 67 or smth

#

Can't even pull big cuz you don't have rage economy let alone indom

#

Until the 60s

median tulip
#

Gotta be honest: the levelling experience is so easy you could probably make it to 70 without spending any talent points or choosing a spec

rapid jewel
#

yeah tanking in MoP early on without TC is really bad

strong forum
frosty mango
#

At what point do you start taking damage as prot

pallid quiver
#

when something puts a spoopy bleed on you

frosty mango
#

Some trash packs get spooky (bleeds) but largely my health stays at 100% up until like +12/13

strong forum
#

I didn't take dmg all the way until 29s last season

#

So uh

frosty mango
#

lol so 15/16

strong forum
#

It's all relative to your skill

rapid jewel
frosty mango
#

I play properly but this is the first season I’ve mained prot for keys so just kinda struck me

#

Health bar no move

strong forum
#

yeah thats our whole shtick

#

health only move if someone fucked up

#

be it you or someone else

plush tendon
#

Prot War is very good in the DF dungeons

#

Spell Reflect straight stonks on some of the hardest tank bosses

strong forum
#

its also that there is very very few bosses that actually do tank damage

#

or mobs that is

plush tendon
#

scariest is prob the first pulls in Ulda

#

other then that and maybe a pull or two in Nelth, its a good time to be a prot war

#

except, of course, VDH exists

#

and most meta comps aint getting value out of battle shout

median tulip
tepid nest
#

spell reflect is insane this season

plush tendon
#

and the last boss in NO

toxic pewter
#

spell reflect more unreliable than ever

plush tendon
#

I didnt realize that Leymor hurts cause I was war main in S1

#

but he hurts apparently

median tulip
#

Does he?

frosty mango
#

Also the second boss in nokhud

plush tendon
frosty mango
#

You can leap out every SR and take a wind burst

toxic pewter
#

yeah Leymour is a group killer tbh

#

if tank doesnt do well

#

its just over immediately

strong forum
#

spell reflect infused strikes

tepid nest
#

last boss AV too

strong forum
#

and heroic leap away from the frontal

#

voila 0 dmg taken

plush tendon
tepid nest
toxic pewter
#

i think his frontal follows you now

strong forum
#

yeah you can just outrange it

#

it does follow

#

but you can just outrange

frosty mango
#

Lot of tanks pull leymour out and then scuff the cone - if you just tank him in the center you can always hit 5/6 things

toxic pewter
#

oh interesting

median tulip
#

There's loads of frontals you can outrange

frosty mango
plush tendon
toxic pewter
#

i would prob leap onto the healer or some crrap

plush tendon
#

the room is always clear

median tulip
#

Those drakes in HoI; their breath only has a range of like 4cm

plush tendon
#

obviously you can get more

pallid quiver
strong forum
#

^

#

i also found out

#

you can destroy 6 trees

#

with that

frosty mango
#

It’s a circle, the best spot is always the middle relatively speaking

tepid nest
#

ye personally i take the time to move it to the best spot

toxic pewter
#

middle is better you say

#

gonna just do that also

plush tendon
frosty mango
#

Shortest distance to any tree is from the center

toxic pewter
#

i was an outher person

strong forum
#

if you do it tangent to the middle

plush tendon
#

or you just death skip the first and third

strong forum
#

you can clear 1 entire side of trees

pallid quiver
#

^^^

frosty mango
#

There’s times outside will get you a better set but just on the whole if you stay center you can arc him and get an entire side

median tulip
plush tendon
#

and the dragon hurts the group

#

cause of the frost dot

pallid quiver
#

tell them to desnare themselves smh

median tulip

NGL I don't even look at % in HoI

jagged pier

W

plush tendon

you can straight W HoI in most cases

pallid quiver
#

I know your pala doesn't have freedom bound, but tell them to click it if they have to

plush tendon

it really only applies when pushing higher keys

toxic pewter

in hoi is going left at start better since they added new rez spot

might as well right if i am an engineer can get that thing

Hey all looking to get into prot tanking and just wondering how warrior is for getting adds and such in dungeons.

rapid jewel
#

you can skip the last group before third boss in hoi, if you take some % elsewhere

pallid quiver
rigid hull
#

any youtube channel with prot war season 4 pov?

frosty mango
#

Disrupting shout is huge and definitely not something a lot of wars really use to their advantage

#

You can get like 60-80 interrupts in a dungeon like nokhud by using disrupting intelligently. Sometimes I get 5 at once and scream “Yahtzee!”. My wife thinks I’m strange

jagged pier
#

i mean u can do that with fear shout as well

frosty mango
jagged pier
#

from what i have seen ppl that are talented into disrupting

#

are not using one of the 2 shouts

#

meaning they are loosing value of talents which is bad

frosty mango
#

Intim/demo?

pallid quiver
#

Nome tried it out in Notgood earlier; I'd honestly be curious to see that break down

jagged pier
#

no intim and disrupting

pallid quiver
#

definitely would make adds on last boss nicer, even if it can be done without

strong forum
#

what breakdown?

#

i got logs and details screenshots

pallid quiver
#

Logs

#

Just to see where you used it, since you know what you're doing

pallid quiver
#

in comparison to most people rocking disrupting

frosty mango
#

I play both intim and disrupt for some dungeons - usually finish nokhud at like 55-70 interrupts

jagged pier
#

ive been told many times its amazing yet the logs i was linked was someone talented in one dungeon they didnt use intim shout once and claims disrupting was amazing (where intim would have covered all the casts they stopped) and then in the other they used intim but hardly used disrutping and when they did intuprt somethign with it their pummel / stormbolt/SR/ shockwave were on CD and could have been used instead

#

my point is its not huge

#

but i do agree ppl are using it incorrectly

frosty mango
#

I think both disrupt and intim get higher value in pugs if you play properly

jagged pier
#

nope

#

because the logs i was shown were pugs

pallid quiver
#

I know that feel on needing to storm bolt an incorp, Nome

jagged pier
#

and one shout was enough

#

also how many times have yu pressed SR and ppl still intuprt

#

or stun

frosty mango
#

If I were in a full group in discord, I would probably not run disrupt because a lot of the kicks you grab are gonna be overlaps if other people are playing properly

jagged pier
#

thats still gunna happen with disrupting shout

#

so your eating CC u dont need to

jagged pier
#

disrupting shout is great if it enables u to do a pull u couldnt without it

#

ie in a full stack group

#

pulling bigger than pugs

#

where it is actually required

#

for a pull

#

and if its just for 1 pull its still worth it if your using it to stop the odd cast here and there then its not worth it at all like in most pug

frosty mango
#

Ya were saying the same thing

#

I can’t trust half the players in some of these pugs to use health pots and not stand in front of the boss let alone interrupt

jagged pier
#

like even in nomes key he uses it better than most ppl but i still dont think it was needed

#

ppl just arent ever gunna convince me a worth to take. and the only evidence they give are 'its good in pugs'

pallid quiver
#

Honestly, Nome's log up there is the first time I've seen unique value (outside of like, Dathea platform) been made from Disrupting shout; he used both of them to cover multiple casts, let him gather adds for last boss easier, and covered non-hard CC stoppable casts with it

jagged pier
#

yer but there u go the unique pull value im not disagreeing about that

#

the groupo needed a way to group the adds on the final boss

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, I was saying that more to say that most people don't get value out of the point

jagged pier
#

but ppl just saying in general its better in pugs makes no sense its a niche talent for niche scenarios

pallid quiver
#

And that they're better served with bloodsurge

jagged pier
#

^^

pallid quiver
#

most people don't do any of what I just listed Nome did with disrupting

frosty mango
jagged pier
#

its not about dps

frosty mango
#

Agree if you take it for the feelies and just don’t use it yea you’re wasting talent space

jagged pier
#

and your not covering as much as u think

#

ive seen it from logs

frosty mango
jagged pier
#

🤷

frosty mango
#

I’ll log some dungeons tonight and get some opinions - maybe I’m upside down on this

tepid nest
#

i mean, i use both but intimidating shout is unreliable since it doesnt hit the entire pack right?

crystal iris
tepid nest
#

and yes, intim also will not stop perma casters from just standing and casting again after the fear

jagged pier
#

right but why arent u pulling mobs onto casters?

#

thats what u should be doing

#

thats general tank gameplay

grim pilot
#

sometimes you have casters in 2 packs

#

and u want to merge those packs

tepid nest
#

because it often isnt that simple

frosty mango
#

You can also los a lot of casters

#

Especially this season

jagged pier
#

like i dont get this i charge a caster inturpt it

#

it follows me to the second caster

crystal iris
#

I love it for the triple pull on the vexamus platform

pallid quiver
#

I think the only time there's been multiple casters I need to group in a pull, there's either a corner to los or I can just jab the throat of the first caster

jagged pier
#

i literally do that with no issue with the shout

crystal iris
#

You can get a good 10 kicks right there and those things have a tendency to keep casting after you stun them so the silence is nice

#

Ils also nice to have the CDR on the standard aoe taunt

#

It’s up almost every pull

jagged pier
#

but if your using it as a taunt

#

you are loosing value of the silence

rapid jewel
#

back in the day when heroic throw silenced at range, ah the good times

grim pilot
#

kinda depends

#

u can use it for both

crystal iris
#

I usually use it first to use as taunt and interrupt to help gather, then shockwave then int shout if needed

grim pilot
#

1 pack this

#

2nd pack that

crystal iris
#

Call me a DH

pallid quiver
#

to be fair, if you're getting value from the taunt from the CDR, you're getting value from it then

grim pilot
#

if you manage to group 2 packs u wouldn't be able to do otherwise

pallid quiver
#

but i've also gone dungeons without ever pressing aoe taunt, so there's that, too

tepid nest
#

idk man, it's crazy to argue that disrupting shout is not good because bad warriors are not using all of their tools correctly

grim pilot
#

it already gains more than enough value to cover for it

#

even if its just 1 pull

#

in whole key

jagged pier
frosty mango
#

I don’t really see value in using challenging as aoe taunt sans like 2 specific situations - there’s not much you aren’t getting snap aggro on with leap charge and tclap

crystal iris
jagged pier
#

im saying 99% of warriors

#

arent using it correctly

#

plka was in here the other day claimed he used it all th etime

crystal iris
#

It’s nice to have

jagged pier
#

nome found a log where he pressed it once

#

in the entire dungoen

#

and shockwave was on cd at the same time

tepid nest
#

well that is pretty wild

crystal iris
#

I press it more or less on CD, int shout is saved for emergencies though and I usually press it 5-6 times a run

#

If shockwave will do the job, I use that

#

In fact I have a macro that combines shockwave and int shout. If shockwave is ready it uses that, if not it uses int shout haha

pallid quiver
#

i default to int shout if it's available because it doesn't dr a common dr

jagged pier
#

^^

crystal iris
#

Oh interesting

grim pilot
#

either way if you plan on solo pushing keys disrupting shout is a must

#

in my opinion

crystal iris
#

It’s nice

grim pilot
#

esp since people are used to vdh

#

and they're lazier on stops

crystal iris
#

Agreed

#

They been babysat

grim pilot
#

if you stop 1 death

#

in whole key

#

you're getting the value

tepid nest
#

its important to remember that intimidating shout only stops 6 targets so if the pull has more than that, it's a gamble.

pallid quiver
#

I might play with it this season just to try it out; I'm not expecting to get value out of it, but I do want more perspective

grim pilot
#

like 10k dps from tank is literally nothing

crystal iris
#

In BH the amount of DPS that stand there and eat the hunters fixate is NUTS

grim pilot
#

or however much you lose on bloodsruge or the talent that just got buffed

crystal iris
#

Before first boss

pallid quiver
grim pilot
#

either way

crystal iris
#

While we’re talking about controversial niche talents. Might as well talk about titanic throw. I started using that and it’s so nice

pallid quiver
#

you're learnin' to love the wrong talent in the current landscape

grim pilot
#

its not controversial

pallid quiver
#

that's on board to get shot

frosty mango
#

What is titanic throw

pallid quiver
#

More than a few like it, but I've never been a fan. it's very funny tho

crystal iris
#

Disrupting shout gets this disc all fired up

grim pilot
#

I've never used titanic throw nor do I plan to use it but I you're not losing that much to get it if you're unsure of agro

frosty mango
#

That still exists?

pallid quiver
crystal iris
pallid quiver
#

but has a cd, too

frosty mango
#

I know what it is lol

crystal iris
#

Ya

#

Well why you ask then lol

frosty mango
#

Forgot my /s

pallid quiver
#

quit lying to us, smh

frosty mango
#

Just don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use it

crystal iris
#

It’s fantastic

pallid quiver
#

It's actually pretty popular

crystal iris
#

Because sidearm sucks

pallid quiver
#

I'd say like 40% of prots in the wild rock in, usually saccing sidearm

frosty mango
#

Sidearm can’t suck it’s literally free dps for existing

pallid quiver
#

which is interesting, since that's just straight free damage

crystal iris
#

It’s like 1-2%

pallid quiver
#

Like 4-5k DPS

grim pilot
#

thats a bit of a stretch

crystal iris
#

And if you save a DPS from agroung a pack while you gather it’s worth it

grim pilot
#

with 40%

#

and its the best key to use it for

frosty mango
#

Would you skip a gear upgrade and say “it’s only 5k dps”

crystal iris
#

If you save a DPS from pulling aggro on mobs that spawn far it’s worth it

pallid quiver
crystal iris
pallid quiver
#

I know it's less popular picked than that, but

crystal iris
#

Bromach first boss ulduman. When the far adds spawn you can aggro them quickly. BH lasher spawns easy to aggro. BH treemouth some ranged spawns slimes across the room easy to aggro

#

BH first pull you don’t have to run down the the cage pack to pull them just chuck 5 hammers down there

#

Lots of QoL uses

tepid nest
#

but sacrificing sidearm is not huge i guess

jagged pier
#

just to say my point 2 dungeons that are 15 from one of the top 10 io warriors under using intim shout and using disrupting when they could have pummeled or storm bolted, if u want to run disrupting please run it but u have to actually get value out of it first 2 logs i looked at

solemn current
#

Titanic throw would feel better if it didn’t have the cooldown honestly. I tried it and went to heroic throw 2 packs only couldn’t.

crystal iris
crystal iris
#

Also how is bromach a crutch?

stiff gate
#

people who think tank dps matters in any key below title range are delusional. if you save ONE single dps from dying to aggro at any point in a key you've basically already made up the damage sidearm would've done

grim pilot
crystal iris
#

Those stupid adds spawn so far away on opposite sides it’s annoying

solemn current
#

Dps should just know better not to dps packs until in melee and they usually do. Otherwise nothing a thunderclap/revenge can’t do for AoE threat while grouping.

jagged pier
crystal iris
jagged pier
#

cause the mobs dont start casting icebolt straight away

pallid quiver
jagged pier
#

u can also just los them around a corner

crystal iris
#

If you pull with a single taunt or heroic throw, the pack will aggro healer if they are anywhere near it.

#

Titanic allows you to pull an extra pack once you’ve exhausted charge and leap

solemn current
crystal iris
stiff gate
crystal iris
stiff gate
#

also my hot take is that dps's dps is also really not that important, the chances of you depleting a key to the timer in which nobody dies are very small, again, until you're doing title range keys

pallid quiver
#

That's still not addressing the argument at all; the argument is to focus on pressing your actual buttons. Having an extra button that you happened to slip on didn't fix anything

crystal iris
#

Pallies have shield, DH has flame or fel dev, us having titanic throw is nice

grim pilot
crystal iris
#

Plus DPS should be able to start doing damage while you gather. It’s unrealistic to think they won’t touch mobs at all

#

Priests should be woke to start putting our dots

grim pilot
#

You'd have to have negative damage in the group to not time a key purely to dps in actually clean run

stiff gate
#

^^^

pallid quiver
#

boss i am not popping until you sit down as a DPS; a titanic throw ain't gonna do shit for a pwave cleaved lightning bolt

“Tank dps doesn’t matter” LOL

solemn current
grim pilot
#

its a bit of a stretch that it doesnt matter

#

but

dusky canopy
#

Overtime’s a key by 3 seconds

grim pilot
#

you can definitely afford to lose stuff

dusky canopy
#

“Tank dps doesn’t matter though”

grim pilot
#

yes but how low would it have to be

dusky canopy
grim pilot
#

for tank to be blamed

#

you'd have to have fundamentally wrong rotation

dusky canopy
#

Key level is irrelevant

frosty mango
#

Not about blame

grim pilot
#

no I mean tank dps

dusky canopy
#

All party members dps matters

crystal iris
dusky canopy
#

And all should push themselves to there limits

frosty mango
#

Dps is dps

dusky canopy
#

That’s the same as saying “healer dps doesn’t matter”

grim pilot
#

30k more from tank min maxing isnt gonna change shit if the key wasnt clean

grim pilot
#

doesnt

dusky canopy
#

But every single team runs the healer that brings the most

#

Weird init

#

Don’t give lazy tanks excuses

tepid nest
#

no they don't, unless you mean at the very hioghest level

pallid quiver
tepid nest
#

where everyones dps DOES matter

stiff gate
#

making keys easier on everyone is much more important to gaining io than doing slightly more damage, the number of keys you deplete to aggro/dps rando pulling a pack/missing a stop on something is literally infinitely higher than the number of keys you will deplete to doing 3% less dps as the tank

dusky canopy
#

Everyone should play for optimal dps

grim pilot
#

healer dps starts to matter in wf keys

solemn current
#

You mean you don’t like resto Druids watching Netflix in your key doing 15k dps?

crystal iris
#

Tank damage matters for sure. 3% lost tank damage does not matter.

tepid nest
#

ok but you dont need to is the point 😄

frosty mango
grim pilot
#

in title level keys

#

healer dps

#

is absolutely irrelevant

#

unless they afk on easy pulls

#

thats different

dusky canopy
#

Title level players are not in here debating this

#

It’s some rando who probably does 12s as hard content

stiff gate
#

im literally in here debating this

grim pilot
#

I mean I got title last season so idk

dusky canopy
#

Clambing tank dps doesn’t matter

tepid nest
#

ok but thats kinda exactly the point, it doesnt matter at that level

#

that person would be correct

grim pilot
#

like I said, as long as healer is doing something and not actually visibly negative damage I will never look at healer dps

tepid nest
#

talenting into sidearm is not oging to be the difference between timing a 12 or not

grim pilot
#

I'll applaud if he has really big

#

but if he managed to heal the key

#

and did some dps

dusky canopy
#

Regardless of key level everyone should play for optimal dps you only sacrifice dps when it’s required to survive

grim pilot
#

I will never look at it

dusky canopy
#

Taking DS as a Prot Warrior is never required

#

It’s been proven already

tepid nest
#

proven?

dusky canopy
#

Yes

tepid nest
#

what on earth are you talking about

#

how could it be proven

stiff gate
#

yeah this guy said it so its proven dont u know

dusky canopy
#

The example log photos above ?

#

What more do you need

tepid nest
#

what do they prove?

#

so much more

#

for you to claim its never required 😄

#

outrageous

urban bane
#

that it isn't being utilized effectively

vocal flame
#

what ever happened as a tank making sure your sunders were up and had threat? just getting beaten on and trying to stay alive

frosty mango
#

Pretty sure in this sense he means optimal

stiff gate
#

again, if you stop one single cast in a dungeon that would've killed someone, that you otherwise would've missed because you didn't have DS, you've probably made up the damage sidearm wouldve done

limber temple

grim pilot
#

thats the point

urban bane

Sidearm vs DS isn't a choice?

Man I love watching this channel get whipped into a frenzy over DS lmao

#

sry

frosty mango
#

Nothing is really required if the bar is “the key is cleared”. Insanely skilled people out there doing all kinds of craziness

stiff gate
#

any talent thats like 3% damage or whatever for a tank

pallid quiver
undone beacon
#

Thought this was a Sidearms vs Titanic Throw debate today

grim pilot
#

and I can 100% assure you playing properly and losing damage on talents that can help your group

#

is more than enough dps

#

as a tank

pallid quiver
#

There's a lot of effective strawmanning going on, so I've dipped from the discussion

you said it's been proven that it isn't required, which is a wild claim to make

You have three other stops to do that with though

noone else has said anything other than it's a good talent

we should hang out in the vengeance dh discord and tell them not take silence sigil, there's probably a talent that lets them do more damage they could take instead of that pesky aoe stop that isn't required

just drop bloodsurge

Silence sigil and disrupting shout are vastly different.

Honestly my only issue with this conversation is that people keep using DS as the abbreviation when we literally have three things abbreviated that way and the two others came way before.

All mobs don't cast.

frosty mango

Intim isn’t a silence it’s a stop

Int just stops casts the caster will start up again

tepid nest
frosty mango

It has far use more cases

crystal iris
pallid quiver
strong forum
warm plinth
#

And again, disrupting does nothing if the mob isn't actively casting. And in modern wow, tons of casts are forced to not cast simultaneously.

crystal iris
#

But for the purpose of stopping casts and silencing packs and groupings mobs, DS is better than int shout

grim pilot
#

I played 28-30 keys

#

with shockwave

#

as arms

#

because I knew what my group lacks

warm plinth
#

No, it's just not. See my previous comment.

#

In the very rare occasion where you can kick multiple mobs simultaneously, you could make that case situationally.

grim pilot
#

and getting shockwave as arms is bigger loss for overall damage than getting DS as prot

warm plinth
#

But in general? Intim is better.

warm plinth
#

Such as?

grim pilot
#

@strong forum

tepid nest
#

i think its a bit weird to compare intim and disrupting shout, kinda different use cases. they are both good, intim is more flexible sure but loses value on bigger pulls

grim pilot
#

and many more

warm plinth
#

I can agree with that krayt

crystal iris
# warm plinth Such as?

Triple pack before Vex, any of the packs with speakers before first boss of BH, first pull of AV

woven perch
#

servers up peepoHappy

stiff gate
#

first 2 packs of ruby, anything by 2nd boss or 3rd boss in NO

warm plinth
#

It would be very good for first pull of AV, ill give you that one.

crystal iris
#

The adds that spawn from tree mouth

warm plinth
#

Since they do cast simultaneously

crystal iris
#

I will start using int shout more though now that I know it doesn’t contribute to DR

warm plinth
#

Basically sigil of silence there

strong forum
#

unless turbo necessary

pallid quiver
crystal iris
#

But only hitting 5 mobs is kind of troll

grim pilot
#

it stopped people from dying

#

keys are not binary

crystal iris

Especially if it doesn’t hit the ones you actually want to stop lol

grim pilot
#

you cant expect everyone do play perfecetly

#

thats already wrong mentality for pushing keys

#

you expect people are gonna fuck up

#

and you try to cover for them

#

I played 5000 vers as arms even though I didnt need to just to require less heal in heal checks because I played with squishy bm

What can I drop to take intervene?

so ive just taken to titanic throwing, taunting, then titanic throwing again if needed

pallid quiver

BUT I CAN JUST SOUP CUBE IT

warm plinth

Titanic throw scares me since TJS too lol

#

It spreads like avengers shield/chain lightning so it can do very strange targeting

crystal iris
#

ya you have to be a bit careful, its not as bad as avengers shield tho

warm plinth

I used titanic throw on the last pull of TJS and I cast it on the rightmost mob and it hit all of them (we had CCed the left mob) lol.

feels whack turning down an anvil, but it is what it is; i just need to slap and lfr and bam

For us, yes

For DPS/Heals, usually not

Leech is pretty great for healers too but depends on if you're doing really high keys where avoidance would probably help more.

Since it procs from heals too
