what does past season's versions have to do with anything

toxic pewter
#

do you foresee yourself doing either mythic boss, especially next week first boss aberuss

unkempt hazel
#

cuz he said last season?

lusty grotto
#

do you have everything else in the pins?

unkempt hazel
lusty grotto
#

unkempt hazel
#

#

lusty grotto
#

violet ginkgo
#

lusty grotto
#

#

unkempt hazel
#

u did not reply giga low to that

#

nim plz

#

wake up

lusty grotto
#

🤷

#

i have no idea why he mentioned it then

#

ig it didnt make sense for me for someone to mention last season lmao

#

so i ignored it

unkempt hazel
#

bro was just wondering how much better it would be now

lusty grotto
#

at least in terms of numbers

unkempt hazel
#

but fair

#

haven't played s3 myself so no idea how numbers looked then

toxic pewter
#

u guys gonna play remix tomorrow

#

wat race/class u goin

unkempt hazel
#

doubt

lusty grotto
#

probably dwarf dk

#

or NE dk idk

toxic pewter
#

i was thinking dk also

unkempt hazel
#

might get a mage/priest alts just cuz I haven none but dunno

glacial grove
#

Crazy how much you guys can discuss about the fact that i wrote "last season" holy moly 😄

unkempt hazel
#

not rly even interested

toxic pewter
#

theres a lot of new transmog and mounts and stuff

#

gotta collect em all

unkempt hazel
#

but it wasnt u

lusty grotto
#

ekrio w/e

unkempt hazel
#

bro having identity crisis

solemn wolf
#

anyone running dreadplates with anvil, whats the dps difference with a solid anvil uptime?

jagged pier
#

u generally should just run both

blazing condor
#

difference to what

jagged pier
#

its similar dps

#

from both

blazing condor
#

or you mean EITHER dreadplates or anvil

solemn wolf
#

im just looking at what to get first

glacial grove
unkempt hazel
#

if u have no def trink dread would overall be the better pick maybe?

jagged pier
#

if your only doing mythic+

#

if u do any sort of raiding at all

#

u go for anvil

unkempt hazel
#

ah good point

jagged pier
#

also dreadplates is far easier to get from raid

#

frist boss

unkempt hazel
#

and also can just grab splinter for now

jagged pier
#

and exclusively tank trinket

lusty grotto
#

if u dont have a defensive trinket, farm brackenhide

blazing condor
#

so do we get a bullion a week

unkempt hazel
#

ye

lusty grotto
#

which is the strongest defensive trinket in the game right now

#

aka treemouth

blazing condor
#

wait is it one bullion a week or one item a week

unkempt hazel
#

one bul

blazing condor
#

dam

unkempt hazel
#

so item every 2 weeks

violet ginkgo
#

1 bullion per week, item is per 2 week

unkempt hazel
#

minus situation like last weekly

solemn wolf
#

i got treebark so go anvil it is

unkempt hazel
#

ur set then

toxic pewter
#

anvil just a solid trinket good all the time

solemn wolf
#

it will help me think more about combat uptime for others in the group as well

toxic pewter
#

yah you gotta keep a good pace with pulls and stuff

#

will make you a better player I think

unkempt hazel
#

simply pull everything up to boss in 1 go

violet ginkgo
solemn wolf
#

i just asked since bloodmallet sims dreadbplates a lot higher in dps but i know it cant simulate a long anvil uptime

kind urchin
# lusty grotto but you didnt

@lusty grotto The whole conversation was in reference to his original point that last season he was doing about 175k average with little experience playing protection warrior. Maybe check your reading comprehension before shitting on people.

lusty grotto
#

i didnt shit on anybody

#

where the fuck are you getting this from?

toxic pewter
#

Truly wild lol

lusty grotto
#

thank god he double tagged me

#

could have missed that blatant assumption otherwise

lusty grotto
#

just do a 5mins

unkempt hazel
#

sheesh

lusty grotto
#

pretty sure bloodmallet's sims are 5 mins too

#

so yeah obviously dreadplates does big damage on 5 targets

#

and anvil tops damage on ST

#

so really it depends on content

jagged pier
#

well as most fights are short depending on team or group so greif will probably top

lusty grotto
#

yeah

jagged pier
#

cause shorter the fight more it gains

unkempt hazel
#

grief cast

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

i was using it on a 9 nelth before reset cause im farming boots

#

and people kept dying so i just kept sending it

#

(:

unkempt hazel
#

ok ngl that part is fun

lusty grotto
#

sadly they died way too much so we couldnt complete before the restart

unkempt hazel
#

using it then suddenly its off cd again

blazing condor
#

did they change training dummies?

#

doing like 100 dps total

lusty grotto
#

yeah they are bugged

unkempt hazel
#

the real question

#

is did they fix them

#

and no they did not

lusty grotto
#

i think nome said boralus and dazaralor dummies are still usable

#

but valdrakken's arent

unkempt hazel
#

sw/orgri ones should work too i think

lusty grotto
#

i wonder if NAs restart will fix the ground textures not working on dx12

#

in voti at least

It was so over

lusty grotto

thats what i did on council

#

LOL

#

yeah

toxic pewter
#

dude i was wondering where the fire on ground went

#

that explains it

lusty grotto
#

yeah its bugged in voti for dx12

#

if you swap to dx11, it shows up

#

or so i've heard

toxic pewter
#

interesting

lusty grotto
#

back to the boot farm i go

I didn't play prot in SL, was necrolord banner build peepoHappy or sadge

Spear is one of the coolest abilities and I sad we are not using it

undone beacon
#

What would they reasonably have to cull to bring it to prot trees now

#

I want that big banner fantasy

#

Would it be worth taking Ravagers place on the tree?

How do you survive Chronolord deios on hard mode

lusty grotto

leap the breaths

dont have last season gear

i suck at leaping breath

Throw that down and spam revenge

i miss uncapped TC

Any tips for maintaining threat for increasing pull size

lusty grotto
#

do you have gholak

#

a fully upgraded gholak?

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

it was our sac

#

yes

#

a buff when you intervened someone

mild jolt
#

maybe im wrong but... how can i get a T chest from the m+ Vault ? never happend to me the entire addon.

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

you can

#

if you mean a tier chest

#

its just heavy RNG on non-catalyzed pieces

mild jolt
#

yes, a mythic track Tier Chest.

#

never got this until now. nice

lusty grotto
#

yup you can

mild jolt
#

and im unsure... using my buillion for the Seal of Filial Duty, Smolderon DD Trinket or Fyrak Trinket...

im Happy with my trinkets so far with the anvil and dread plates.

lusty grotto
#

buy ring then

plush tendon
#

yea, I bought Seal of Filial Duty

#

my plan was always wep->Durina->Trinket->Seal, but I got lucky and Duirna came from vault

mild jolt
#

i bought gholak and eranog ring so far. my vault is mostly crap.

#

sadly

#

and a other warri ingame said to me, the smolderon trinket is only worth on boss fight around 4-5 mins.

How true is this?

vestal moat
#

4 minutes it will break even with something else and have max stacks. 5 minutes+ it will pull ahead significantly

#

unfortunately only a handful of fights are more than 5 minutes this tier

mild jolt
#

in this case ill opt for the augury

prisma dust
plush tendon
mild jolt
#

yes

#

currently anvil and dreadplate on hc

strong forum
#

Then don't buy augury

mild jolt
#

why ?

strong forum
#

You're set with those 2 trinkets

#

Why buy augury

#

It's not gonna do better than those other 2 in keys

#

And Raid parsing is all about grieftorch

#

Whoever can get the most grieftorch casts

rigid hull
#

should i jsut swap anvil in nokhod 💀

#

its not gonna stay up in there

mild jolt
#

from sims, the augury sims about 13k + and from s3 i know its mostly on ü2-3 overall

#

and ill dont push for high keys. but ok

strong forum
prisma dust
strong forum
#

Cuz dreadplates does poor single target, no surprise there

plush tendon
#

Im a known Augury non-enjoyer

#

so many awesome trinkets

strong forum
#

But dreadplates does ~16-20k dps in keys

#

Cuz it hits 5 targets very frequently

plush tendon
#

and Augury is so mid

strong forum
#

Augury is turbo mid

mild jolt
#

hmmmm well

#

maybe just my sight from s3 without many options overall. ok

plush tendon
#

also depends on content

#

but like, you could be a dreadplate-All totem gamer

#

or slap a Anvil or Guzzie

strong forum
#

Lotta people have clouded judgement on items based on previous seasons, correct

#

"it was bis in X season so clearly it's bis now aswell"

plush tendon
#

Rageheart still ok... but splinter sort of fills that niche

jovial zodiac
#

Does shadowflame dmg count as firedmg for Seal of diurnas chosen ring?

toxic pewter
#

yes

jovial zodiac

yes a visual bug

#

atleast i think so

#

you can check the damage on it when that happens

undone beacon
vocal flame
#

yeah thats a good idea ill check on a target dummy

#

or attack myself in the mirror lol

south zealot
#

NVM ITS NOT A VISUAL BUG

#

it just doesnt hit

#

when it goes a differrent way

vocal flame
#

WHAAAAT

#

omg that has happened to me so many times

dusky canopy
#

Oooff

vocal flame
#

it just randomly goes to another area

undone beacon
#

yeah the beam pathing is ass sometimes idk what the deal is

that really sucks

i think its random, sometimes it goes behind me

south zealot

@grim pilot

#

bracky no bloodbourne

#

500k is free in an aa

south zealot
#

but if they go anywhere sideways they still hit

#

26k overall anvil wtf

dusky canopy
#

That’s actually so pog

#

Gotta get one

undone beacon
#

Its really temping to forgo the Filial Duty ring and grab an anvil

#

I feel like I already have decent trinkets but the anvil propaganda is working

south zealot

filial is my buy in like

im getting anvil too over the ring, I have the blazing hoof has my other one lol

so doable

I've yet to do aa on forti

dusky canopy
cold zealot
#

yeah.... its wild

lusty grotto
#

sometimes it bugs when swapping specs

#

and/or equipping/re-equipping helms

#

not the first time someone links something like that

cold zealot
#

seems more normal but still

lusty grotto
#

its 1ppm

#

rng on damage taken

#

so

#

outside of the equip/spec bugs, it can happen

undone beacon
#

I've got a dreadplate, branch, splinter, and hoof all on hero track, and hopefully a totem drops tonight so it seems redundant to get yet another trinket but I know anvil pumps

vapid oyster
#

current trinket setup.... I play mostly m+ (just do my weekly HC blast for bullion) do I go for dreadplates for my 3rd bullion purchase or are there better options? got gholak and eggnog ring, ouroboreal neck was from vault

south zealot
#

dread yes

vapid oyster
#

cool tyvm

prisma dust
#

is it actually better than rageheart?

south zealot
#

it makes you very tanky

#

and does a lot of damage

#

better than rageheart yes

stoic crystal
#

My prots ❤️ I only really got Puzzlebox Hero and Rageheart Myth. I tank both raid and m+ but mainly do arms in m+. What trinket should I get that works for both content/specs ? I think it's between OCE and Anvil ye? Is Augury an option too for both specs? Or something completely different? I currently use the S3 Myth Aug just because it deals decent damage still

toxic pewter
#

rageheart is meh this season kinda awkward how many people still think it is bis

vocal flame
south zealot
lusty grotto
#

what is it with people buying rageheart

prisma dust
lusty grotto
#

holy christ

prisma dust
#

i dont know what they changed to make it better

lusty grotto
#

they nerfed the damage, and treemouth exists

#

which didnt exist in s3

south zealot
#

dreadpltaes plates break then wht etrinket expires

lusty grotto
#

only in s2

stoic crystal
#

I didnt' buy it. I got Rageheart in raid

stoic crystal
lusty grotto

and yes dreadplates got buffed

young wasp
#

Bought 2 ragehearts to go along with my BSV build

lusty grotto
#

good

#

make sure you adopt nish's bleed support build

toxic pewter
#

is bsv even fixed on live or wat

south zealot

dreadplates was interesting before the buff

#

now its just outright good

restive oak
#

is there an approximate break point on haste?

im a big fan of dreadplates very good trinket

#

sometimes it does massive dmg

#

augury pumps on prot too

vapid oyster
onyx vessel
#

yeah its 10% for me at 515

#

just free dmg

vapid oyster
#

I'm already having huge fun just cause I feel 10x more tanky on my 503 prot war compared to my 520 DH

vapid oyster
#

hahahaha

toxic pewter
#

s tier keks

vapid oyster
#

I mean it's S tier purely on ''illuminated sigils''

#

but with fear shout, mass taunt with silence talent and shockwave I can control the triple pack before vexamus equally easy

waxen frigate
#

You inherently lose damage using a crit trinket vs a strength trinket

#

But it is passive

onyx vessel
#

yeah its a alot of str loss but thats ok does good dmg

is there a VotI tank cheat sheet?

#

Is a bad idea to equip augur with rageheart and lose strenght in both trinkets? (In a defensive perspective). I'm thinking in signet or anvil to save a bit of strenght

mystic radish
#

Is Filial Duty worth taking?

plush tendon
#

but its low prio

#

granted, you got some juiced gear already

mystic radish
#

Might wanna take it then. Wsnt sure if the effect is as useless as the volc neck

toxic pewter
#

ngl I am not looking forward to my haste dropping a lot if/when i get that ring

mystic radish
#

Yeah :/ already low on haste imo

toxic pewter
#

yeah i will be in the 5k range with both vault rings

#

not sure

solemn current
#

I'm out here already planning on brez helm with haste on it on a future craft. hero track haste pants currently with both rings lol

#

Dread plates are really good though, just get augury for your passive dps

toxic pewter
#

just make a new keybind imo

#

will help u in the long run

#

and get trinket tracking weak aura

#

Sold my last season augury for 2 mins ^^ maybe its not that bad then

Augury really good for prot from what I remember

well not prepot anymore 😄 but Pot for raids

Heya. Looking for a trinket to buy. I just do casual m+ to +10 and want something decent for it. Guides seem torn. 😐

storm moat
#

Hey all, has anyone tried the Inexorable resonator? Just got it on myth track in Vault. As long as you dont take damage I guess its ok, but how does it stack with Ignore Pain, does the damage to break the shield come before Ignore Pain or after? - would be sick if it was after - proc trinket .. pop cds and have infinite damage for ignore pain to keep you healthy?
Talking about M+ Fortified weekes obv.

torn gulch

Thats what I thought, thanaks 😄

torn gulch

there are so many trinkets this season you can choose from

blazing condor
torn gulch
#

especially with the bullion system

spice orbit
#

I kinda wanna try out the anvil or rageheart,,,

blazing condor
#

anvil is fun

#

rageheart feels real good but id say theres better defensive trinkets

torn gulch
#

you don't need rageheart at the key levels you play

#

you play double offensive at that level

blazing condor
#

id aim to get dreadplates and anvil

storm moat
#

I have anvil, tie it in a macro with your Avator, you use it every time you engage a pack anyway and can spam the Avator even if it isnt up to activate trinket

blazing condor
#

but you can squeeze damage and take brand as well

#

if you can keep it up

plush tendon
#

keep anvil a seperate macro; the goal with anvil is to get to 5 stacks and maintain 5 stacks

#

theres a 15 second buff timer on the Anvil stacks, but a neat trick you can do is press anvil if its off CD and it will refresh the 15 seconds outside of combat

spice orbit
#

this text still bothers me 😄

blazing condor
#

yeah best way is to get a WA to track the anvil

plush tendon
#

charging critters is also a strategy

blazing condor
#

use it if youre about to have it run out

#

after 5 stacks that is

I'm trying to decide between using bullions on a torch, seal of filial duty, or a enduring dreadplate --- but I'm hestitant to buy an item that drops from the first boss of a raid--- even though I'd have to wait 2 more weeks to even try.
Right now both my trinkets are pretty meh (inexorable resonator / granyth's enduring scale)

dreadplate is a trinket

#

buying both rings will make you starve for haste heavily

#

that will come at a price

#

if you havent been lucky with haste drops

wide charm
#

I'm at 36% atm

lusty grotto
#

and will significantly impact your play

wide charm
#

and My current ring has the same amount of haste roughly

lusty grotto
#

how much rating

wide charm
#

5153

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

youre borderline low

#

at that point you shouldnt even be playing ITF (into the fray)

#

you should be playing heavy repercussions

#

because your SB cd will suffer

#

dont buy the ring

#

buy a trinket

#

buy the ring when you have more haste

south zealot
#

i agree

#

try to get a mainstat haste rring

wide charm
#

Hmmm Torch or Dreadplate then? I'm hesitant to buy a trinket that drops from the first boss of a raid

#

even though it feels like a better choice atm

lusty grotto
#

farm AV ring in the mean time

#

high haste, short crit

south zealot
#

keys?

wide charm
#

only keys

south zealot
#

dreadplate

lusty grotto
#

do you have a guaranteed drop on mythic? are you guaranteed to win it?

wide charm
#

course not but 30% drop rate with only 1 person competing

#

feels bad to just buy it IDK

#

maybe I'm being dumb

south zealot
#

i think anvil is better than grieftorch for keys nayway

lusty grotto
#

right you think its just one person competing

#

but

#

it'll be ALL DHs going for it

#

because they are ALL going for it to tank keys

@south zealot thoughts on fyraks rageheart?

lusty grotto
#

overrated

#

treemouth shits on it defensively

#

dreadplates shits on it offensively

south axle
#

hey

south zealot
#

if you get it as a drop its a good option

#

but not something u should buy

i m new with prot tank

thats it

south axle

even with my monk is around 1.2% damage overall

#

so...

lusty grotto
#

im changing my name

#

so?

lean flower
#

idk usually it’s 2% or more for me personally

lusty grotto
#

its a ring with a free proc and doesnt sacrifice stats for it

static sonnet
lusty grotto
#

and its buyable with bullions

storm moat
#

Free damage ez ring

south axle
#

a trinket probably could be more interessing no?

lusty grotto
#

and every single spec and class in the game wants it

lean flower
#

well think of it this way as well, that ring is used by arms and fury as well so if you ever wanted to dabble it works for them too

lusty grotto
storm moat
#

if you have no trinkets, sure, if you lack defensives, sure, if you have nothing to proc it also dont go for it first

lusty grotto
#

you can farm trinkets

#

you cant farm diurna

#

you can farm a treemouth, hoof, hooves, etc

Don't think he will run a dungeon 30x to see a trinket drop 🙂

if he wants to optimize he will

Uldaman is like a never ending tunnel, get me out of there. Just slapping pack after slapping with neverending casts which we can't silence

i have no problems with trash there

people have problems with bosses, but that's another issue

I dislike fire boss

HUH

its not a secret

You can reflect something into the golems??

#

Bro holy

u can also reflect the puddles, and frontal dots

but i assume you already knew that

dusky canopy
#

Yes

lusty grotto
#

ok let me explain very slowly lol

dusky canopy
#

Didn’t know you could reflect swirl on the ground

lusty grotto
#

when intermission pops

south zealot
#

no i understand

#

but like

#

i had ZERO idea you could do taht

lusty grotto
#

you wait until golem shields are gone

#

reflect, run to a nado

#

big dot on them

#

dps can basically ignore it

dusky canopy

is that on the stone golem boss?

theyre just gonna deplete the key lol

why did they kick me and not the druid

#

or not both of us

Every boss in that dungeon has too much stuff to know.. except for those dumb 3 practice targets in the beginning

lusty grotto
#

dusky canopy

Specially as arms enjoyer

lusty grotto

but once you know the deal, uldaman is okay, its just fucking insane in high tyrannical

2nd boss takes forever with the adds and totem to kill every 20s

blazing condor
#

just dislike how you sweat through it for like 40 mins then u still gotta do deios

dusky canopy
#

Totem dies so damn slow

storm moat
#

deios is fine if the grp positions well but again.. too much to knw and be aware of.. a lot more than last boss on AA where first pools even despawn mid way through fight

south zealot

last boss in aa

is unbelievably easy

its just so boring u go afk

i cracked multiple uldamans at deios last week because:

  1. puddle positioning was bad;
  2. wing buffet/dot combo was deleting dps that did not press their buttons
blazing condor
#

Do you just start at the entrance and work towards the edge of room for deios or whats the strat

#

Done that dg like 4 tiems

south zealot
#

i start along the left wall

lusty grotto
#

depends on your group

south zealot
#

in the middld#e

#

middle

lusty grotto
#

some people bunch up at mid and go around, some start at edge and fill edges

torn gulch
#

yes i start at the door then go along the wall and tell the rest to keep the pools compact

lusty grotto
#

i start like choco too

#

left wall

south zealot
#

it doesnt matter as long as ppl dont bait in disgusting spots

torn gulch
#

i as a tank have 0 problems into that fight

if people are even kind of aware of their position you can kill it starting anywhere

the rest on the other hand

how do you guys do the first pull in nok? do you do the giant double and hope someone can move/cc the outside casters, or do 2 pulls

lusty grotto
#

wait until both packs are close

#

or do 2 pulls

crystal sierra
#

i do, but there's still the horncaster and one other guy way off to the side

lusty grotto
#

they come pretty close from each other

#

in range of stops

#

just gotta wait a couple of seconds

young wasp
#

But generally no

#

If your dps suck maybe

crystal sierra
#

could someone explain to me how into the fray works, im at 6.7k haste + fray, in a stacked group i still dont have enough cd on shield block to maintain full uptime, there could be an interaction im missing, only picked up prot again this season so i am still quite the nub

pallid quiver
#

ITF just gives you flat haste percentage for each stack, up to 5 stacks

#

You just need to actually care about spending shield block charges wisely if you use itf

#

So make sure you're not sending at the end of oacks, for example

crystal sierra
#

right, but if a pack lives long enough, you run into down time on sb eventually

pallid quiver
#

If there's every upcoming nondighting time, like going down the stairs after 1st boss AV, you shouldn:t have any shield block easting time

crystal sierra
#

it was especially true at 5.4k+fray

cinder dirge
crystal sierra
#

yeah its actually fine in this run

#

i think 5.4k is a bit rough bu manageable in lower keys

#

but at 6.7k im chillin

lusty grotto
#

ITF only gains stacks if you have 5 mobs/pets/players around you

#

thats very important

#

if youre on a caster group and have no warlock and arent doing big pulls, youre not gonna have full stacks

#

no demo warlock, i should say

#

i.e. imps

#

and just to clarify, you dont need all 5 stacks at all times, but it certainly does help

#

a lot

#

having low haste is just a side effect of gearing

#

especially if you went both rings

#

without farming haste items

#

youre never gonna have 100% uptime, thats in an ideal world

#

the closer you are to it, the better

#

ideally you want 90% +

crystal sierra
#

ah i see

#

yeah i know the basics of itf, i just wasnt sure of what you gain from it, i just know shield uptime was a concern swapping from HR

what is our worst tier piece? Shoulders?

lusty grotto

its only worse cause it has no haste

if youre good on haste, its a good piece

it plays like banner

does anyone know how the tank buster on last boss HoI works? seems sometimes if I SR the initial knockback I dont get the beam but other times I do, is it to do with how close I am to the boss?

#

oh nevermind I guess I should be reflecting the channel not the knockback, according to sense

#

but there does seem to be some weird interaction where sometimes he wont channel if you SR the knockback..

guys i feel like i struggle to work revenge into my rotation, with SS and TC resets happening so frequently, feels like 99% of the time i dump excess rage into IP and feel like i dont cast revenge often enough because SS/TC is off cooldown on most globals. should i be prioing revenge over TC at times where i'm capping rage? or just casting revenge when tc/ss are both on cd and theres nothing else to press. feels particularly bad with the 4 set because you want as many bleeds up when shield slamming as possible.

this is from a m+ perspective. i dunno, just feels like i'd ike to be pressing it a lot more to dump rage rather than smashing it all into IP but if i follow the rotational priority it feels like i press it maybe once every 10 globals or something

grim pilot
#

You shouldnt have issues with rage overcap

#

Unless liken

#

In massive pack

#

With bloodsurge

#

Spamming Ip is more than enough to prevent that

and even there u shouldnt care about that

#

anyone who knows what specifi sim options that are best for protection warrior this season? Am using Raidbots tool for messurement

jagged pier
#

For what scenario

heavy shoal
#

overall best realy

#

seems like the tool hates that am using "dungeons slice", cause in that case i get "Unreliable Fight Styles" warrning after siming

median tulip
#

Dungeon Slice is pretty bad

heavy shoal
#

normaly (for the last couple of weeks) i have been using normal patch work sims, but got recommended to try out dungeone slince instead xD

median tulip
#

I generally sim 1/3/5 targets for 1/3/5 minutes and then apply my brain to the results

unkempt hazel
#

by who

heavy shoal
#

a guildi, but u know limited knowledge could also be the case here xD

unkempt hazel

for recommending that

#

so what are u using the most then @unkempt hazel ?

unkempt hazel
#

pretty much same as zeta

#

minus the brain part

so like cleave add?

unkempt hazel
#

no patchwerk but increase number of targets

Thoughts on disrupt instead of bloodsurge? ZOOMEReyes

#

discount silence sigil is cool but losing out on that rage gen

jagged pier
#

Yep thats the swap

#

Well its worse than discount silence sigil

#

But if u want to take it you can

#

U just need to make aure your actually getting the value out of it

#

Which a lot of ppl dont

mild latch
#

Is it a "per dungeon" kind of thing, or would you recommend it as a standard build?

jagged pier
#

I dont recommend it as a standard build

#

But its a per person basis really

humble schooner
#

I just use it as part of my build, most dungeons have a lot of casters

jagged pier
#

If u like it u like it

mild latch
#

Part of the reason I am considering it, and it may sound stupid ngl, is the 40% extra radius on taunt

#

10 yard is way too short

toxic pewter
#

O_O

blazing condor
#

do you really end up in situations where you need to
a) use challenging shout a lot
b) use it enough in situations where the extra radius would make a difference
to justify picking the talent?

humble schooner
#

if you pug its better to have more interrupts or stops either way

blazing condor
#

personally i only really use challenging shout when ive fucked up and died and got ressed and need to get aggro back

#

if you only got one or two stray monster you need aggro on you can always taunt + heroic leap to reset taunt

#

Whats the details script to make all-totem count under one bar instead of 4?

in terms of taunt range intim wont do much
