u can if u send on TC wrong

tepid nest
#

ye always worse for rage but in aoe even without bloodsurge it feels like we have a pretty silly amount of rage

#

will keep that in mind ty

merry pond
#

Fire your shots away, doubt you have a single thing to show off for that would make you seem better than me.
Not saying you'll die, just saying your delusional if you think you should start a pull in battle stance.

ancient crystal
#

Our tier set resets TC from SS eating a bleed, do we just ignore all the TC resets and keep SS prio in m+ aoe?

blazing condor
#

You want bleed on the mobs

strong forum
#

you only ignore TC resets in single target if SS is ready

blazing condor
#

Ss prio but then u want tc back on the mobs

tepid nest
strong forum
#

it is

#

but its rarer to run into sending SS back to back in aoe

merry pond
#

imagine TWW

#

getting like 4 SS procs in a row

tepid nest
#

ok thanks!

merry pond
#

holy cow

strong forum
#

the prio dam

#

but also, i prefer colossus

#

demolish go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

jagged pier
#

i mean we had it for a lot longer and a lot more SS back in argus

merry pond
#

I agree

#

actually no

#

I don't

#

but I haven't tried either so

jagged pier
#

so does revenge

tepid nest
#

you also get the extra control on shockwave which is nice, seems like mountain thane doesnt offer anything like that

strong forum
#

yeah the buff gained from demolish buffs revenge dmg by 50%

tepid nest
#

or does it?

strong forum
#

and your bleed dmg by 20%

merry pond
#

it's not 50% from total value tho? Most of these things feels so off, since we already have quite a bit of damage modifiers to most of our things.

strong forum
#

we dont play any talents that buff SoF

#

in tww

#

so its direct 50% buff

#

we may play best served cold

merry pond
#

yeah that's more

#

so you're right

strong forum
#

but it competes with the "defensive stance doesnt make you lose dmg anymore and now reduces magic dmg taken by 5%"

merry pond
#

I was mostly thinking about the shield slam damage increases, considering we already have Brace for impact and punish

strong forum
#

theyre all multiplicatve

#

:3

merry pond
#

how are they multiplicative?

tepid nest
strong forum
#

if you dont play punish

merry pond
#

I put my head into this once, and then forget for a year and try to think about it again. And every time I hate how Blizzard uses grammatics.

strong forum
#

SS dmg is reduces by 10% at any stage of the buffs be it with outburst or bfi stacks

#

outburst increases all SS dmg by 200%

#

doesnt add +200%

#

it considers all base multipliers

#

and THEN multiplies it ontop

#

by 200%

tepid nest
#

📈

strong forum
#

same applies to all other SS mulitpliers

merry pond
#

but are they actually all separate sources?

#

hmm

unkempt hazel
merry pond
#

IDK how to explain what I mean

tepid nest
unkempt hazel
#

🤔

strong forum
merry pond
#

Have you played PoE @strong forum

strong forum
#

ya

#

is stinky

merry pond
#

well I assume you know how the additive / Multiplicative works there?

strong forum
#

increase/more

unkempt hazel
#

I mean there's a pile of rotting corpses in every zone, ofc its stinky

strong forum
#

yeah

unkempt hazel
strong forum
#

increase is additive

#

and more is multiplicative

#

specifically like that in poe

merry pond
#

yeah

strong forum
#

and multiplier is always multiplier

#

but wow is diffy

merry pond
#

yeah and dumb

strong forum
#

but most %increases (besides vers)

#

are multipliers

merry pond
#

but why do they even use different grammars then

#

as in best served cold

#

10% more damage

#

but on other things

#

it's increased

#

which IMO is actually a difference in grammar

#

w/e

not like whatever I whine is gonna change anything

How much would you guys pay for the cheat death trinket hard mode version

#

Hypothetically

jagged pier
#

nothing

lusty grotto
#

0

ionic fern
#

0

ancient crystal
#

Thought that thing was bis for high keys but maybe I’m placing too much worth in it

lusty grotto
#

hard mode is easy at ilvl cap

ionic fern
#

It's fine for higher keys, but i wouldn't pay for it.

lusty grotto
#

undying run is a tad harder, but who gives a shit you want the thing for the effect

ionic fern
#

Just do hardmode each week and you'll get it.

lusty grotto
#

hell just get a m0 one

ionic fern
#

I'm just using my previous tier 489 one.

carmine solstice
#

??? Just don’t die

lusty grotto
#

or that yes

ancient crystal
jagged pier
#

what are u considering high keys?

ancient crystal
#

I mean likes 14s for the future around that level

lusty grotto
#

thats not high

ancient crystal
#

Right now I’m 501 ilvl tanking 10s

jagged pier
#

yer u dont need cheat death in that

ancient crystal
#

Ah ok

ionic fern
#

It might be high for him *

jagged pier
#

if your dying its likely u are playing incorrectly

ionic fern
#

Not everyone has the same skill level.

lusty grotto
#

well hes obviously dying

#

so hes doing something wrong

ionic fern
#

That was to you saying "THat's not high".

ancient crystal
#

Yeah I’m not saying I’m playing well

lusty grotto
#

his "high key" comment wasnt done in a vacuum mwahi

#

its in relation to other people

jagged pier
carmine solstice
#

@ancient crystal tbh just sit D stance and dump rage into IP and you’ll be pretty invincible. Should manage to maintain 100% SB up time all whilst still doing 150k ST.
Once you’re more comfortable and geared you can focus more into damage

ancient crystal
#

Yeah just thought it’d be good enough to cover my ass

#

Yeah I know it’s skill issue

carmine solstice
#

Relying on a save makes you sloppy as a player

lusty grotto
#

lets start with this: what was the last thing that killed you

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

knowing what to do in order to prevent those deaths will help you grow and if you DO push "high" keys eventually, youll need exactly what you need a cheat on

wide charm
#

Also, I haven't read all of this conversation but we are talking ab out someone tanking 10s in 501il. That's definitely doable but I mean... you are undergeared.

carmine solstice
#

I mean don’t overcap shield, can use a weak aura to monitor your max 🤷🏻‍♂️

lusty grotto
#

depends on his shield ilvl

pallid quiver
wide charm
pallid quiver
carmine solstice
jagged pier
carmine solstice
#

+15 ilvl is massive

wide charm
#

Yea, as did I but 10-20 il can be an absolutely massive difference

jagged pier
#

ilvl still wont cover incorrect play

#

and with correct play 10s at that ilvl should be fine

wide charm
#

Of course, but coordination and a group that is using stops =/= pugging 10s
IDK if they were pugging but that was just my assumption

pallid quiver
#

That'd the ilvl I'm at 🙂

#

And I pug 10s at that ilvl

wide charm
#

I'm gonna refer back to "definitely doable" that I originally said, I'm just saying if you are down 10-20 il... and something goes wrong --- lets say you get a couple stacks of piercing shards in AV

#

because you are out of CC or they are raging and dps aren't finishing them
You will have much more trouble with handling that

lusty grotto
#

then you didnt play your stops

wide charm
#

just because of your il

jagged pier
#

but its spell blockable

#

and u can use all your stops on them

lusty grotto
#

you have 4 of them for shards

#

fear, and 3 stuns

#

with SC

jagged pier
#

so thats a miss play

wide charm
#

yea, fear, stormbolt, shield charge, shockwave

#

But that doesn't apply sub 30% hp

#

they are immune

lusty grotto
#

oh you mean raging

wide charm
#

If the group sucks, you might end up holding 3 raging mobs for a while

#

and get 2-3 stacks

carmine solstice
#

Most deadly thing I’ve experienced were the spikes in uldaman

lusty grotto
#

shrug

jagged pier
wide charm
#

That's an example of when il would matter

jagged pier
#

or as its a ten dont pull 4 of those mobs together

wide charm
# jagged pier

I'm sorry maybe there is something I don't understand about AV here --- you can use Spell Block to immune the dot that is put on you?

jagged pier
#

if u have less gear

wide charm
#

when that stacks to 3+ it does actually hurt

jagged pier
#

the dots not the issue its the pfront hit that hurts with stacks u cycle ip and SW on the dot

wide charm
#

IDK that thing is noticible on 10-11 area as a 518il, I can't imagine with 501il I wouldn't notice a significant difference

#

I'm not saying I just die I'm saying that the dot at 3+ stacks is NOTICIBLE

waxen frigate
#

That being said

#

Yes that dot fucks

#

Dwarf pulls its weight hard in ulda

wide charm
#

And with 20 less IL your IPs are much weaker as well

ionic fern
#

Only 5 casts.

jagged pier
#

can we refer back to this tho

ionic fern
#

And still 2nd most damage taken.

#

Over the whole key.

jagged pier
#

if the guy struggling and its a 10 u dont need to mega pull a 10 to time

#

part of tanking is knowing what u can handle

#

u can go slower in that part

#

and pull big later

#

where the mobs do literally nothing

wide charm
#

That's fair but I think it's kinda easy to end up in a position where you pulled the ring packs that already have 2 and then someone snags the pat

#

happens in pugs

lusty grotto
#

idk i find AV one of the easiest keys

#

sure raging can make some shards go off, but spell block takes care of it

#

its not like raging increases damage anymore anyway

wide charm
#

It's my favorite since s1. Love that place. IDK it's just the dungeon I enjoy the most
Even before they (rightfully) nerfed the last 2 bosses xD

lusty grotto
#

i enjoyed it more when you could skip frogs cause it felt faster

#

not that they do much anyway

wide charm
#

Those pulls are fun though! The group just needs to actually treat them as cleave instead of focusing them

#

you just chain that entire 2 rooms/staircase as breakers die

lusty grotto
#

its not whether its fun or not

wide charm
#

What was the reason for them fixing that skip anyways? I don't see how it was an exploit if you can still hop off to azureblade's room without ever going to the lower ring

Does this class have healing taken % increases?

yeah yikers

???

lusty grotto
#

oh nothing, you seem to have made up your mind

#

carry on

jagged pier
#

i mean the class is designed not to need healing increases

#

but each to there own

#

may i point u to the pins

#

where there is a literally impossible to die build

lusty grotto
#

maybe hes going for a leech build in mop LMAO

jagged pier
#

which takes that talent

urban portal
#

mitigation IS the healing increase

#

the more you mitigate the more value each point of healing gets

#

it just doesnt show up in the meters

lusty grotto
#

no sense in swimming against the current, people like this have their mind set on something and they wont budge

jagged pier
#

which is why we have a build for bsv

blazing condor

but what about my 20+ minute skyhold argument that leads nowhere

jagged pier
#

in the pins

lusty grotto

lol

Bro it is for meme shit in remix, obviously i am not asking for meta builds, i asked about a heal taken increase...

u are literally

never going to proc it in remix

and called it

non "pitiful mobs"

i dont know what that means

you are fist fighting 5 year olds

hes throwing hands with garrosh

Idk, my health doesnt move either except during tank busters

urban portal

then BSV isnt gonna proc

tight sedge
#

Any of you clever types know how the Enduring Dreadplate rays are directed? 9/10 times they head off into the pack in front of me but every now and then the rays take a wander off in what I consider a random direction (specifically yesterday on the last boss of nelth, when the whole 5 stacks fell off at once just as the damage ramp hit but instead of gloriously annihilating the boss, the wandered off harmlessly to illuminate my dps ...)

lusty grotto
#

they go where youre facing

#

at break

#

its fucky though

jagged pier
#

if they dont break the plates

#

and the buff runs out

#

it just spazz s out

#

if u arent in combat

spare mantle
jagged pier
#

also sometimes in combat it does that

tight sedge
#

Was in combat, was facing the boss but they buggered off behind me. Wondered if maybe it was camera facing rather than character facing? Or was I just unlucky?

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

try your best not to be inside mobs

tight sedge
#

That's unfortunate. I was feeling so smug that I'd timed it just chefs kiss and then 5 rays went wheeling off into the sunset.

lusty grotto
#

sometimes thats easier being said than done but it is what it is

tight sedge
lusty grotto

just practice your pulling out

Hello! I'be progging Mythic Diurna tonight, I'll be assigned to adds. I was wondering how I should handle my talents. Should I go full AoE or stick to a more ST-oriented build? For example, I don't know what to pick between Thunderlord and Sudden Death...

waxen frigate

Most of the fight is just movement and timing

#

And Dps doing the right things like purging

tribal wharf

is dread plates universally good for tanks now

i imagine it would fuck with how you play dh

tribal wharf

or bear,i don't think bear would like it, but bdk and monk for sure, probably paladin but 50/50 if it'd be good for them

waxen frigate
#

It’s good for all of them

waxen frigate
#

It’s just varying degrees of defensively useful

south zealot
#

it just does a ton of damage

#

regardless of tank

jagged pier
#

Oh diruna

#

Not dathea

south zealot

how useful it is defensively depends on how hard youre getting hit

# jagged pier U take disrupting shout

About Dathea btw, if I wanna take disrupting shout, should I drop sudden death and keep 2 points in Bloodborne, or should I keep sudden death and give up Bloodborne?

hardy snow

#

Yeah I guess tough as nails+sudden death can't compete with 2xBloodborne

urban portal

but i would probably sim for that

#

sudden death not great though

waxen frigate

#

its not bad

#

slightly edges out 1 bloodborne except in mass aoe i blieve

waxen frigate
night heron

I just simmed myself with Sudden Death+Tough as nails VS 2xBloodborne in ST

#

2xBloodborne sims 201 800k dps
SD+TaN sims 201 300k dps

#

So it's pretty much the same it would seem

strong forum
#

youll get alot less TaN value

than on sims

because on sims you get meleed once every 1.6seconds

unkempt hazel
#

in general, how do u approach a pack with no rage, like if deeps go at it after a single tc, it feels like I lose aggro a bit too often

grim pilot
#

u shouldnt lose agro unless dps starts blasting

#

tc, heroic throw

#

shield slam

#

its all more than enough to get some initial agro

#

I just say "sec agro" or something along the lines

#

9 out of 10 they wait

#

if they dont and die, its on them 100%

urban bane
#

ya what myrtu said; good advice.

#

in case you don't know, heroic throw does kind of a crazy amount of threat

#

chucking one out as you go in can help a lot.

lusty grotto
#

no rage shouldnt matter since TC generates it

#

charge generates it

#

shield slam generates it

urban bane
#

If you're still feelin' iffy and don't mind losing some damage for more peace of mind, you can drop Sidearm for Titanic Throw and just use that as you charge in. It is far from necessary to secure threat early, but it makes it a lil easier. All the threat you'd need right there. Strictly speaking it isn't optimal, though, and will be going away in TWW.

lusty grotto
#

rage isnt a factor at all

#

in fact everything you have to press as a prio generates it

strong forum
#

charge + avatar generate enough rage to get SB up before engaging the pack

#

so you dont get globalled

#

aside from that, depends how many packs you pull

#

but assuming you have everything ready you just ravager->charge+avatar->TC->demo->roar->sc

#

IP as you need to to dump rage

carmine solstice
#

Charge critters for free rage during dungeons 👑

Hopefully all the exploiters are permanently banned

lusty grotto

they wont

cause its not an exploit

#

its just a typical blizz oversight

toxic pewter
#

It is

lusty grotto
#

absolutely not

toxic pewter
#

It is though

lusty grotto
#

its not dude

#

frog farming was around back then

toxic pewter
#

What u mean

lusty grotto
#

its the same fucking thing

toxic pewter
#

It is an exploit when something obviously not intended and people still do it

lusty grotto
#

but it IS intended

toxic pewter
#

That’s the definition of an exploit

#

Wat u mean they reverted the threads

#

That was never intended

lusty grotto
#

no, they nerfed bronze drops

toxic pewter
#

Hence the exploit occurring

lusty grotto
#

youre smoking some huge crack apb

toxic pewter
#

And the threads too

#

No longer drop from them

#

I win you resorted to ad hominem

#

It is done.

lusty grotto
#

its a farm

#

that existed

#

whether blizz wanted it to be the mostoptimal bronze farm or not

toxic pewter
#

The farm is never the problem lol

#

It’s what was dropping

lusty grotto
#

thats on blizzard

toxic pewter
#

People exploited an obviously broken situation

lusty grotto
#

for not going after the #1 mop farm frist

toxic pewter
#

What do you think an exploit is though lol

south zealot
#

people done the frogs for years

#

to farm timeless isle coins

toxic pewter
#

The frogs themselves are not an issue

south zealot
#

its not even a new farm

lusty grotto
#

an exploit is using torghast power to 1 shot mythic bosses

#

mop is intentionally giving huge power creeps to players because thats the whole point

toxic pewter
#

So people doing obviously imbalanced and incorrect stuff that eventually a sane individual will consider be corrected and then doing it anyway

lusty grotto
#

frog farming was and always has been an extremely efficient farm

south zealot
#

hyperspawns exist in the game

lusty grotto
#

they are not doing anything imbalanced

#

you are incorrect

south zealot
#

its just a function of the game

toxic pewter
#

You’re missing the point. The frog farm itself are not the issue. It is what was dropping

#

The threads and bronze

lusty grotto
#

which was blizzard's fault for not correcting in PTR

toxic pewter
#

Both can be true at the same time

lusty grotto
#

when they KNEW

#

frog farming was gonna happen

#

no

toxic pewter
#

They’re not mutually exclusive

we are not a healing tank

south zealot
#

prot warrior mitigates damage instead of relying on healing the damage you take

#

you still heal a decent amount

inner forge
#

oh okey, With the shield block ability that gives 100% block chance right?

lusty grotto
#

yup your job is to prevent damage

#

and we are VERY good at it

south zealot
#

in this azure vault, i healed for like just under 90 million

#

the healer only healed me for 35m

lusty grotto
#

yes shield block is your most important mitigation tool

grim pilot
#

L

lusty grotto
#

use spell block for magic damage with spell reflect etc

south zealot
#

bro the stops on frontal guys

#

got fucked up

#

so i got owned by them lol

grim pilot
#

I love it

#

when nobody uses their stops

#

And I'm at 8-9 stacks

south zealot
#

better hwne everyone uses them immediatelyt

grim pilot
#

just be mage

#

have 2 of them

#

on 30 sec cd

inner forge
#

Hm

#

Okey thanks for the tips, I’ll try to get better at prot warrior, seems pretty fun and different from my other tanks

grim pilot
#

also how cursed is this I'm not gonna be able to pad in bh at all

#

ret and arms

south zealot
#

ret paladins

#

are crazy to me

lusty grotto
#

hey

#

dont pile chipadin with the likes of that one

grim pilot
#

bro i'm trying to communicate to a guardian druid that he shouldn't have 2 hunters in bh as an actual pull

#

it's inefficient

#

and shit

south zealot
#

to be fair

#

those guys do literally nothing until like

grim pilot
#

man wants to pull 2 mobs

south zealot
#

15s

#

oh

grim pilot
#

I am doing

#

+15

#

LMAO

south zealot
#

o

grim pilot
#

ye my magus is coming along

south zealot
#

son of rat wtf

grim pilot
#

actual rat

south zealot
#

my fort io is kind of pretty

#

3 free keys on top

#

3 middle keys

#

2 hard keys on bottom

lusty grotto
#

#

south zealot
#

im trying but theres like 0 groups even in group finder

#

and i really dont wanna do my nokhud key lol

potent anvil
#

I haven't done higher than a 15 on my warr

lusty grotto
#

pandaria is fun though

potent anvil
#

Oh wait, 16 academy. That's free though.

lament musk
#

pwar so fun

#

i dont know routing or what exactly does dmg yet so i just wing it

#

big part of the fun

south zealot
#

prot warrior is great bc if youre good at dps

#

youre gonna be good at prot

grim pilot
#

@south zealot

#

guess how my key went

south zealot
#

timed surely

grim pilot
#

yaya

#

idk

#

people are not kicking regular casts in elo hell

#

so when shit goes through

#

it still does 80% of your health

leaden shard
#

i cant wait to play with people who dont snooze pressing their interrupt key

south zealot
#

dude this game

#

is testing me

#

i parried 0 out of 12 basilisk bites

lusty tiger
#

u used up your parries on the other mobs gg

jagged gust
#

hit the parry cap, such a casual

urban bane
#

i never have to parry a basilisk chompy if i never tank uldaman

lusty grotto
#

well

#

that got fixed fast

lusty grotto
#

or at least reported 17 mins ago by wowhead

south zealot
#

wait what the fuck

#

u can deflec tthe damage treemouths does to you

plush tendon
#

peak S4 gameplay

south zealot
#

u did a neltharus

#

-1

plush tendon
south zealot
#

too hard

#

chains area u just get bone tossed and hunted and immediately die

grim pilot
#

the frontal

#

or the soak

#

because sometimes u soak but u dont soak

#

not sure why

south zealot
#

i meant the trinket

#

splinter

grim pilot
#

ah

#

lo

south zealot
#

it does damage to you but you can deflect it

grim pilot
#

thats so weird

#

is it reliable

#

or is that more of a 50/50

south zealot
#

i feel like its more likely to grief

#

if you accidentally consume your reflect

grim pilot
#

ye

#

100%

south zealot
#

it worked once and i just tried again and it didnt work

grim pilot
#

yeah

#

idk

icy flax
south zealot
#

yeah but you wont be able to reflect something potentially important

icy flax
#

That's fair but I'd assume there's nothing else to reflect in that scenario

hollow marsh
lusty grotto
#

cause he doesnt care

#

its a meme season and there's a lot to do

#

outside of it, that is

south zealot
#

why did an aug tell me to 'not tank with my ass' bc i died to basilisks

#

while he has caut up

mild latch
#

guys, I need help

#

the chomper crocodiles in uldaman are absolutely wrecking me this week

#

idk what I'm doing wrong but those little fuckers destroy me through sb + ip + dstance and even shield wall

#

ilvl 523, key level 12-13 range

#

no other pack in any other dungeon comes close to these things

#

please help critcake

quiet pagoda
#

Taunt and run ! 😬

lusty grotto
#

play stops

#

i assume youre not a dwarf

#

bring and evoker and have them cauterize you

#

bring a paladin and make them bop you and immediately cancelaura bop

#

most of us pull a lot of them so they go down with lust

#

if everything else fails, wall, then demo, dstance dont stack them

wild sentinel
#

when tanks gonna stop pull AVs last boss near the wall

ionic fern
#

Never.

lusty grotto
#

yeah never

#

the chinese team did it, so its gonna happen forever now

ionic fern
#

Eh?

#

Feels like i missed an important part of information.

lusty grotto
#

the guys that timed the first 20

ionic fern
#

Ah,okay.

#

I just do it to annoy my pugs.

lusty grotto
#

are still dragging the boss to walls to bait crystal placement

south zealot
#

wait but pulling it near the wall is conpletely fine

lusty grotto
#

yeah idk what the problem is

wild sentinel
#

wall doesnt even do anything for crystal anymore

lusty grotto
#

well they did it, so its gonna happen

wild sentinel
#

i assume some do it to reduce the knockback

lusty grotto
#

nope

#

its not the knock

#

look at the breakdowns

#

quazii has a translated one

south zealot
#

this is probably cope but it feels like the crystals are more condensed against the wall

wild sentinel
#

the orbs make it really hard to get to crystals as melee when you tank near the wall

lusty grotto
#

thats not the walls problem

south zealot
lusty grotto
#

thats the tank not moving the boss

#

when orbs pop

south zealot
#

and not push right after balls drop

wild sentinel
#

in pugs the crystals can drop when orbs drop

lusty grotto
#

the wall has nothing to do with that lmao

wild sentinel
#

the wall doesnt do anything though

lusty grotto
#

youre focusing on the wrong thing

#

bro

#

ok

#

im done

#

back to mop i go

wild sentinel
#

its easier to be in the center

south zealot
#

the fight being pushed at a bad time is not a consequence of the wall

#

also im pretty sure the crystals are affected by the wall

#

since you know

#

they cant go beyond the wall

#

so theres 3 directions they can go instead of 4

wild sentinel
#

they go up the hill of the wall, literally can spawn anywhere you can stand

south zealot
#

yeah thats still better than not being stacked at all

#

every melee spec except like ww can either hit the ones up high

#

or charge to them in sone capacity

#

easily

wild sentinel
#

nah i still think pug tanks are trolling if they stand by the wall

south zealot
#

i still think youre wrong

lusty grotto
#

i think YOU'RE trolling honestly

south zealot
#

and thats also not the issue you were talking about

wild sentinel
#

maybe if your having all ranged dps

south zealot
#

the push timing can be super troll

wild sentinel
#

its a pug, cant control what pugs do

lusty grotto
#

well youre just gonna have to deal with it

#

its a team effort

south zealot
#

can still avoid the balls even if its grief

wild sentinel
#

ill just ask tanks every key to not go by the wall then

lusty grotto
#

and hopefully they ignore you

south zealot
#

but like why

wild sentinel
#

its just better

south zealot
#

the wall is literally a good strategy

#

and works at what its trying to do

wild sentinel
#

does almost nothing

south zealot
#

if it helps even a little bit

#

why is there a complaint

lusty grotto
#

hes just picking a thing to blame

wild sentinel
#

because the potential problems that can be caused are bigger than any small benefit for a pug

south zealot
#

youre nore likely ro just not have enough time bc rhey are spread

#

over something being so egregiously out of range and have a comp that just cant kill one

#

idk man

lusty grotto
#

im just bewildered by not having people know how to do the fight correctly being "better"

wild sentinel
#

they are spread just the same amount, cant even tell a difference in their groupings

south zealot
#

i dont believe you

lusty grotto
#

youve said this like 10 times

wild sentinel
#

because thats what ive seen

lusty grotto
#

okie

south zealot
#

even if u wipe on that boss

#

just go again

#

surely youre not over time right

#

btw i think its crazy av has its timer and neltharus still has 33 mins

#

and uldaman 35

wild sentinel
#

i guess it doesnt really matter anyways

lusty grotto
#

i dont think this is a high key

#

cause if it was

wild sentinel
#

a new expansion is coming

lusty grotto
#

people are EXPECTED to know when to push

south zealot
#

idk man there are some super boosted gamers in 15s 16s

lusty grotto
#

and it its a low vault key

#

idk what the fuck the complaint is about

#

cause its free

south zealot
#

im kind of boosted too

wild sentinel
#

wouldnt need to know when to if not against the wall, but it was a 14

lusty grotto
#

ESPECIALLY on fort week

south zealot
#

i just randomly die sometimes and have no idea why keks

wild sentinel
#

so its not high enough to have the consistency of players

lusty grotto
#

sounds to me like timmy didnt move from an orb and blaming the wall

#

except

#

ill always tank the damn thing in the wall

wild sentinel
#

nah a line of crystals blocked me from the last one and it went off

lusty grotto
#

pfft lol

wild sentinel
#

i was holding burst for only crystals to try and not phase it

lusty grotto
#

case in point

#

dps that doesnt know when to push boss

#

blames wall for orb death

#

instead of

#

you know

wild sentinel
#

either way, dont think theres any noticable difference in the grouping of crystals by the wall. but this expansion is almost over. sucks they led the last season with df dungeons

lusty grotto
#

watching the boss' energy

south zealot
#

idk i never think the current seasons keys are good

#

i hated lower karazhan

#

but that was kind of a banger key

#

after week 3 of nerda

#

nerfs

wild sentinel
#

i think kara is the worst megedungeon

#

although upper kara looked cool

south zealot
#

i thought dawn was pretty mediocre

wild sentinel
#

it was a whatever dungeon

south zealot
#

mechagon and tazavesh are basically the same

wild sentinel
#

but it falls in line with df dungeons

south zealot
#

junkyard and gambit are equals

#

streets and workshop are equals

oblique garnet
#

Df dungeons were all ass

#

Cant change my mind

south zealot
#

brackenhide was close to being really good

wild sentinel
#

i think aa isnt too bad if i ignore season one before the nerfs

#

although maybe that was just thundering with pugs that made me have bad memeories of season one

south zealot
#

thundering was really really bad

wild sentinel
#

i still remember the first week was quaking. i went into a ruby with thundering quaking and all the aoe swirlies in that dungeon. i felt like my brain got overloaded with things happening lol

ionic fern
#

Quaking with AA last boss pull-in.

south zealot
#

they should atleast TRY a season with positive affixes

#

why do i have to be upset every week

#

yippee its sanguine tomorrow

#

entire week is unplayable

ionic fern
#

What?

#

Why?

lusty grotto
#

well uldaman is at least

#

rest is pretty free

ionic nimbus
wild sentinel
#

ya positive affixes sound way more fun

south zealot
#

best case scenario yoi get a group and the key is mildly annoying

#

but noone plays

plush imp
#

Do you guys do damage in dungeon ?

#

Y, me neither

ionic fern
#

Cool.

tight sedge
#

It's hard to complete it if you don't?

plush imp
tight sedge
#

Pacifist tanking has never been my favorite strategy...

lusty grotto
#

or anyone's

#

really

#

except really bad classic andies

south zealot
#

ive been doing less damage

#

bc ive been taking bsv

#

:(

lusty grotto
#

even for vanilla veterans like me its fucking ass

south zealot
#

and running treemouths

plush imp
lusty grotto
#

not doing damage feels terrible

south zealot
#

bro i was doing 150k st with an aug

lusty grotto
#

cant do damage, i hope youre keeping threat then

#

lul

south zealot
#

it was so sad

lusty grotto
#

no i meant the classic andy

#

hell im not even sure thats the right word

#

cause classic andies went fury tanking

#

and damage was a big deal

south zealot
#

they also care about parses WAY too much

lusty grotto
#

yea

#

idk maybe im built different, i just prefer big dam

south zealot
#

i do too bht

#

i kept dying and i felt bad for griefing peoples keys

lusty grotto
#

well i mean in relation to getting one guy'ed

ionic nimbus
#

Anyone else missing twilight devastation after using dreadplates?

lusty grotto
#

dont worry, we'll get it back in BFA remix

#

(:

ionic nimbus
#

Pls no more remixes, can not handle farming 30 time limited mounts every year…

jagged pier
#

tbf

ionic nimbus
#

Besides of that mop is kinda fun

jagged pier
#

u have like a 3rd of a year to farm them

lusty grotto
#

im liking mop

jagged pier
#

and u can get like a lot in 1 day

lusty grotto
#

i havent done any farms

#

its just chill

jagged pier
#

as most are under 10k

#

plus soon enough in a week or so u will be able to solo all content if u didnt frog farm

#

so then u can farm it in your own time

#

just like normal mount farming

#

and tmog farming

lusty grotto
#

yeah im hoping thats the case

jagged pier
#

well there ppl that frogged farmed that are now solo hc raids

ionic nimbus
#

Me2

jagged pier
#

so it will get there eventually

#

like im just upgrading my gear atm havent bought any tmog/mounts yet

lusty grotto
#

same

pallid quiver
#

I haven't even hit cap because of work smh

#

I'm only level 23 i think

jagged pier
#

nearly 25

#

speeds up fast after that

lusty grotto
#

ive been 70 since friday

ancient crystal
#

AA we take vers right?

jagged pier
#

as u can lfr for xp gain and raid for xp gain

ionic nimbus
#

I mean I already have 1/3 of the mounts with a char under 70, but it’s feeling not that good when you feel dragged into the content for the mounts not the fun. Was the same with plunderstorm… it’s a personal thing, nothing to complain in general

jagged pier
pallid quiver
#

Should still be haste

jagged pier
#

always haste

lusty grotto
#

ye

pallid quiver
#

It's flat percent innit?

jagged pier
#

ye

ancient crystal
#

oh ok

#

tyty

lusty grotto
#

right it doesnt diminish

#

no caps or anything that you need to worry about

slender gull
#

I must be doing Something wrong I keep getting wrecked in nelth chain boss until I’m finished dragging him through chains any tips ?

waxen frigate
jagged pier
#

are the chains being broken correctly?

slender gull
#

I am using dstance and I’m using defensive . What’s the correct way staying still and having dps drag chains through him ?

#

Mostly just pugging keys

waxen frigate
#

You want to be proactive

#

And break them as soon as the previous debuff expires

#

Most of the Dps won’t move for you they just plant and pump

#

Well, they’re pugs, so they probably just plant. And don’t really pump

slender gull
#

lol 😂. Yeah I always try and drag him

waxen frigate
#

You want to pre-move to have him jump straight onto a first chain

#

So you don’t waste any initial time

blazing condor
#

how does the new chargath tank buster work? is it a stacking debuff depending on how many chains you break or what?

#

did it at 490 on a 10 yesterday and it didnt really hurt

#

but we only broke a chain at a time

waxen frigate
#

Frankly I don’t know

#

It just kinda trucks you

blazing condor
#

looked like i had a 3 sec debuff of some sort

#

but maybe thats old

waxen frigate
#

I think he just empowers his attacks or smth

waxen frigate
#

Which goes on everyone when you break a chain and stacks

blazing condor
#

o rite

waxen frigate
#

Hence why you generally don’t break 3

#

(3 stacks = rip unless you’re coordinated)

blazing condor
#

cant find any changelogs

waxen frigate
#

Idk but they definitely changed it

#

He also no longer does his little death circle around him

#

So melee don’t have to afk during chains anymore

#

Can just freely hit him

#

You can also still break chains of dead people rather than just having to wait it out and heal through the enrage dot

blazing condor
#

thats good

#

guess i'll have to see on tyrannical

waxen frigate
#

It hits harder on tyran

#

But it caught a heavy nerf week 1

#

Because it was insane for tanks

blazing condor
#

yeah the whole dungeon was a bit spooky for me with low gear

#

chargath will probably truck

waxen frigate
#

I queued into a 14 or 13 and forgot I didn’t have spellblock talented

#

🙂

blazing condor
tepid nest
#

perhaps not an easy question to answer and i appreciate their applications differ a little but which is a more defensive leaning hybrid trinket option, dreadplates or rageheart?

#

in m+

jagged pier
#

plates

trail ocean
#

Does Plates having Strength whereas rage heart has Vers play a part in that as well?

jagged pier
#

a small part but yes

blazing condor
#

we can buy a new item in 2 weeks right?

#

like this week + next week

unkempt hazel
#

think so?

#

more like next week

blazing condor
#

yeah thats what my bad english is trying to convey

unkempt hazel
#

for a dog its pretty damn good

blazing condor
potent anvil
jagged pier
#

bronze is all i care about now

blazing condor
#

i wanna play MoP, cata and retail but i also cba to play any of them

unkempt hazel
#

not even sure what imma get with bronze

blazing condor
#

just buy all the rare mounts tbh

unkempt hazel
#

wasnt it just 1

#

oh

blazing condor
#

can you only buy one?

#

cus all of them are in the shop

jagged pier
#

u can buy all of them

unkempt hazel
#

im silly

jagged pier
#

u just need the bronze

unkempt hazel
#

I was thinking bronze bullion

#

not even sure imme get to 70 in remix

#

ngl

blazing condor
#

its fast at least

#

you got 3 months

unkempt hazel
#

yeah but im 25 and alrdy kinda bored

lusty tiger
#

It speeds up a lot

#

Do a raid

blazing condor
#

just get friends clueless

unkempt hazel
blazing condor
#

im 28 i think

#

also not really feelin it

jagged pier
#

u just do lfr and normal to get the xp buffs

unkempt hazel
#

no no its not like im bored cuz its slow

#

just bored keks

lusty tiger
#

I got 38, pwar has been pretty fun

blazing condor
#

im playing as a druid deadge

lusty tiger
#

I already bought a cool tmog

unkempt hazel
#

highmountain priest here

lusty tiger
#

War feels pretty immortal. And when I group with higher levels they have this gem that gives the party a haste buff but it doesn’t scale down so on some bosses I will be permanently over 100% haste

undone beacon
#

I watched a frog farmer pwar solo in my HoF group with Mark of Arrogance alone

#

It was intimidating

lusty tiger
#

Is mark of arrogance the one that puts a dot on your attackers?

orchid gulch
#

Yup

lusty tiger
#

I have that one, I should try it out

jagged pier
#

its really good if your the higher scaling tank

#

if yu have a bdk u have nearly zero chance of having aggro

lusty tiger
#

I’m still doing dungeons so far (have hit all my raids though)

#

Is bdk op in the dps department?

jagged pier
#

its the same as anything else

#

its some wack aggro scaling

#

like 1 blood boil

#

and u can never get it back

lusty tiger
#

Jeez

jagged pier
#

like they dont do more or less damage than us some as any other tank

#

for some reason their aggro scaling is off, from my experience

#

like ive been doing trash where ive bursted a 1million damage or on council bosses

lusty tiger
#

They need to turn off frost presence deadge

jagged pier
#

and they run in late

#

and insta have aggro

#

🤷

lusty tiger
#

LOL

tepid nest
#

if you were to go for BSV, do you actually NEED bolster to maintain 100% effective SB uptime?

jagged pier
#

yes

#

because u drop champions bulwark for it

tepid nest
#

ye i get that, i mean, with neither

#

can you not achieve 100% uptime?

jagged pier
#

no

tepid nest
#

ok cheers

strong forum
#

Need 100% haste permanently for that

#

With champions bulwark you need permanent 67% haste

tepid nest
#

i guess i dont notice quite how much shield charge helps me with SB uptime, i thought it seemed totally doable without it but

#

obviously not

strong forum
#

Getting 8 seconds of block every 45seconds for free

#

Does alot

#

You could also opt to play HR instead of ITF and then have 1 wiggle point of freedom

#

But in this day and age you'd lose alot of dmg

tepid nest
#

its hard to imagine a talent point that would be worth droppign ITF for
