You can pug your way to 520+ gear easily without any raiding

strong forum
#

I heavily recommend atleast doin heroic raid

#

Mythic is nice to get the last few ilvl, but heroic is the best bang for your buck

#

The trinkets are just overpowered compared to m+

south zealot
#

yeah from every raid theres like 2-3 good trinkets

Can you get incandescent essence in one run? I just remembered I don’t have it lol

yes

assuming you do have the quest already

I’m not sure don’t think so

But I can just pick it up at the entrance and go yeah?

strong forum
#

you get the quest from killing gnarlroot

#

he drops the quest item

ancient crystal

Ah shit

strong forum

and then the quest afterwards tells you to kill gnarlroot again

which is just pepega

Could I do lfr gnarl and then norm gnarl?

You can do it in 1 week just run lfr and normal, or lfr and join a heroic fyralath doesnt exist run

Gotcha alright

Thanks guys

#

Gonna get this before I go back to keys

ancient crystal
#

whats our "best" neck

#

im seeing its mostly bromach with some ukhel beads in there

#

i know its dependent on stat spread but idk if theres a way to sim that for tanks

#

only thingi know is to aim for more haste

radiant mortar
#

dathea I heard

violet ginkgo
#

I remembered Nim mentioned Dathea #1, bromach#2, but if those 2 only heroic just craft the torc neck 525 with crit/haste.

south zealot
#

correct

ancient crystal
#

damn so if theyre not myth tier just craft

#

might use my next spark on it then

#

thanks

Haste. Are we overvaluing it?
Once you get enough to cover shield block, is it worth continuing up to 7k or is it better to spread the love? I don’t know. 🤷

I ask because I see people like critcakes not running that much and not suffering too many ill effects. On top of that, when i sim, pretty much after 6400 ish, it’s wanting me to lean more towards mastery pieces.

lusty grotto
#

he goes what his sim tells him to go as arms

#

hes not optimizing for prot

carmine solstice
#

^

lusty grotto
#

thats not his priority at all

#

if you think youre comfy with SB uptime and ITF, by all means

#

go for other stats

carmine solstice
#

I think you just need enough to maintain 100% shield block up time

lusty grotto
#

at 6000 im certainly not comfy with my uptime and ITF

carmine solstice
#

But more haste never hurts

lusty grotto
#

also just to be clear critcake is a great player, im just saying his priorities lie elsewhere

#

so when he tanks, he equips what is available

#

im actually playing HR atm, an SB gap can mean death in high keys

#

maybe at 6700+ ill make the swap

carmine solstice
#

Are you playing the haste talent too?

lusty grotto
#

we are definitely NOT overvaluing haste

carmine solstice
#

I can’t remember the name

lusty grotto
#

ITF

#

i said im playing HR

#

which is its counterpart

carmine solstice
#

Ah ok. Acronyms 😄

lusty grotto
#

heavy repercussions, into the fray

carmine solstice
#

Ah yes yes. I don’t play prot enough to know it all. But I do know 100% SB is necessary

cunning inlet
lusty grotto
#

more ip is never a factor

#

its all about shield block

#

thats why i said this

#

if youre playing HR

#

you can certainly make the swap now i guess

#

you will not be optimal but it is what it is

#

if youre playing ITF, and are comfortable without any gaps

#

go with what the sim tells you

#

the higher the haste, the better ITF becomes

#

non-diminished percent buff to your haste

cunning inlet
#

Thanks 🙏

lusty grotto
#

and just to be clear, any MoP remix homies, this does not apply, just go all out on stats

carmine solstice
#

^ 100% haste/mastery/crit easy

south zealot
#

also if you drop shield block even for a second you can just die

south zealot

but if u wanna craft other shit u can

keks bro ill die

lol

south zealot

also if we just synced our pi of the key with our boomkins cds instead of just sending it with 1:45 left on timer we wouldve won

going in uldaman on sanguine is one of the defining traits of being a masochist

hard avoid

there are other weeks where i'll push that key

torn gulch
crystal iris
#

that must be a joke those are massive pulls

#

13 is spicy

#

Why is treemouths splinter S+ trinket and Granyths is C? 1.6mil shield with no offensive value on treemouth, and 1.4mil on granyths with baby offensive. you get an extra 5s on granyths too and it absorbs 75% instead of 50%

#

and you have the added benefit of not accidentally killing yourself

#

I guess I get that 75% DR isnt needed on top of IP, but S+ vs C is rough lol

south zealot
#

partial absorb vs full absorb

crystal iris
#

That are both partial

#

You’re thinking rageheart

lusty grotto
#

75% is still higher than 50%

#

bigger absorb = less duration

#

it will fade in nothing compared to less absorb amount

#

thats why rageheart is mid compared to treemouth

#

partial absorbs are also better because they work in cojnunction with any tank's mitigation, whereas 100% absorbs take the damage up front a lot of the times

#

its a C trinket, its not bad

#

its just not better than

crystal iris
lusty grotto
#

yes because it provides damage

crystal iris
#

I guess it has damage too

lusty grotto
#

treemouth doesnt have damage

crystal iris
#

Weird that all the top tanks run rageheart

lusty grotto
#

cause top tanks bought it first

#

its not weird

#

they arent theorycrafters

crystal iris
#

A few run granyths, not many tree mouths

lusty grotto
#

they bought it on the premise that it was strong last season

#

because treemouth doesnt exist

#

didnt exist, i mean

crystal iris
#

I just got it today

#

Was starting to think it didn’t exist

#

I tried a no rotsigner route in a 7

#

They but pulled every single one

#

We probably had 150% by the end

lusty grotto
#

also dreadplates didnt exist

#

top tanks have it because it was a day 1 buy

#

without thinking

#

so might as well use it

#

yet, you go and ask them and they will flat out say

#

dreadplates

#

or treemouth

#

as of right now

#

thats why copy pasting top tanks can be detrimental

#

up to a certain point

crystal iris
#

Idk I figured they would have swapped by now

#

Maybe they just like the damage

lusty grotto
#

maybe they dont need it

crystal iris
#

Is also nice when gathering the pull

#

But I guess the others are too

lusty grotto
#

you also cannot buy a myth version treemouth

#

with bullions

crystal iris
#

Y’a

lusty grotto
#

plus by now

crystal iris
#

But it’s STR at least

lusty grotto
#

every single healer and some dps have faceless ires

#

which is yet another absorb on top

#

on their teams at least

#

both lfr

leaden shard
#

What do you mean

#

It should give you vault slots based on your highest level of content (awakened myth heroic norm lfr > regular myth heroic norm lfr)

If you mix them to reach a vault slot it’d be regular ilvl not awakened i believe

ebon geyser
#

ok , ty. didnt know how this awaken stuff work

ebon geyser
#

any reason why i dint get the helm enchant quest?

Kill a boss in raid Amirdrassil

ebon geyser

yeah i might not get it this week, i already kill 2 and not the right ones

#

no sophic for us?

we havent been running sophic since s2

ebon geyser
#

dang ok

#

need to re enchant

ebon geyser
#

im assuming if i redo the bosses that i already kill before the quest they will not drop the echos

carmine solstice
#

Correct

#

You can on a different difficulty though

craggy mulch
#

anyone else feels that spell reflect sometimes doesnt work? specially on last boss of AV and last boss of Nokhud

#

its like 30% chance it simply doesnt reflect

carmine solstice
#

Definitely always works for me

teal swift
plush path
#

why is haste the main stat

blazing condor
#

Rotation go fast

#

More rage gen

#

More rage spent

#

More shield block uptime (main mitigation)

#

The more we can spend and gain rage the better, because of Anger Management talent

rigid hull
#

is there a trick for nokhuds 3rd boss?

#

i can force spell reflects?

#

i feel like when i was moving away from him

#

he casted right away

blazing condor
#

If you mean the elemental boss then yes

#

Every time youre not in melee range of boss he will cast

#

And you can spell reflect it

#

So stay in melee and when SR is back up just run out with reflect

rigid hull
#

damn okay

#

this talent is kinda ass?

#

sometimes i wanna proc some slams with revenge

#

but im too low on rage

echo egret
blazing condor
#

Ye

#

He may queue another cast

#

But he will eventually cast it because youre not in melee

grim pilot
#

thats why youre taking the other one

pallid quiver
#

It's good for the purpose of draining more rage if you are so drowning in rage that you have trouble not wasting it even when pressing IP on its cd, but the only time that was the case was DF pre patch since we still had banner rage, SL conduit unnerving, etc

ebon geyser
#

we would never craft shield correct

pallid quiver
#

You would as a theoretical stop gap; ilvl is the most important stat, so you theoretically would replace it with a myth track shield eventually

ebon geyser
#

what key level is mythic track? 5?

plush path

pallid quiver
#

Specifically, vault for 8s

ebon geyser

hmm

idk if i will reach 8s anytime soon, im 475 and gearing

south zealot
ebon geyser
#

i have 3 awaken stones and i was gonna make bracers and back

grim pilot

craft shield

#

u have 3 sparks either way

ebon geyser
#

yeah i gonna do that lol look at this lol

south zealot
ebon geyser
#

no embellishment on shield correct

pallid quiver
#

Correct

plush path
south zealot
#

hate reduces the cooldown of shield block

#

just naturally

ebon geyser

and this are our new crests correct

carmine solstice
#

Crests are used to upgrade gear

plush path
#

u upgrade gear w it

ebon geyser
#

arent i supposed to make them better with enchanting or something

plush path
#

next to ah

#

theres a yellowish brown dragon

carmine solstice
#

Nascent crests are used to craft enchanted crests used in craftinf 502-525 gear with sparks of awakening

tribal wharf
#

once whelpling crests become totally useless and not usable to upgrade because you used them or out geared them in some other method

carmine solstice
#

Upgrading normally obtained gear doesn’t require anything special

tribal wharf
#

then you can/should be able to buy the next tier up to what you are using,

#

with the old crests you were collecting or using

ebon geyser
#

im trying to make the highest possible shield,cloak and bracers

carmine solstice
#

You need wyrm crests for that

tribal wharf
#

if you are crafting, the crest you can put in, you should still able able to put another higher level crest on it later

carmine solstice
#

Your whelping crests could be used for 489 gear, but just go do a time rift and emerald warden thing and you can buy 480 1h and shield you can upgrade to 502

ebon geyser
#

dang

carmine solstice
#

??

#

Wyrm crests drop in Normal raids, M0 and keystones 2-5

ebon geyser
carmine solstice
#

Oh wait drake is normal wyrm is heroic

#

Forgot that

ebon geyser
#

yeah and i dont seem to be able to make anything with drake

carmine solstice
#

Correct, no crafts with drake crests

#

Buy veteran sword and shield > whelping upgrade as high as you can > run mythic 0s and get champion gear

tribal wharf
#

run normal raids or mythic 0 low keys

ebon geyser
#

i got this erlier

tribal wharf
#

heroic can be pretty challenging past first like, 4 bosses of any raid

ebon geyser
#

i sign for a normal in a community im part on tue

tribal wharf
#

should be able to do heroic too, but its a big jump in difficulty

carmine solstice
#

You should run normal this week too as it resets Tuesday @ebon geyser

ebon geyser
#

im in eu

carmine solstice
#

Oh

ebon geyser
#

hopefully we kill some bosses

carmine solstice
#

Yea, honestly normal is as easy as LFR but you can’t ignore every mechanic and expect to live.

#

Otherwise, I’d say they’re about the same in terms of a challenge

ebon geyser
#

yeah i got a wa for aberrus since i havent been there in a hot minute

#

anything else i should get

#

i got shield

#

i have a dream seed and idk if i should craft something or wait

carmine solstice
#

You can craft 502 gear with just a spark, and recraft to upgrade when you have more available crests

ebon geyser
#

this is how i look

carmine solstice
#

Would upgrade those 454 gear and try to get to 485 ilvl

#

Also enchants :d

ebon geyser
#

i actually cant craft, crest i need are from season 3

#

ohh well

unkempt sundial
#

how can i find out what my crit block chance actually is?

ashen harness
#

hold up, if you used shield block twice, in season 1, did it extend the duration without any loss?

jagged pier
#

yes

ashen harness
#

i remember trying to hold my second charge until the first one wore out, was i just trolling the whole season? :kekw:

jagged pier
#

not trolling thats 'best' practice

#

but blizz have given us enouhg block to not care

#

so just send it

ashen harness
#

does it make any difference now tho? beside not letting it roll in between pulls in keys, or when boss runs away

jagged pier
#

makes no difference

#

sned it on cd

#

just slap that button

ashen harness
#

having to micro manage shield block was the thing i disliked most about warrior.. and i did it for nothing lul

#

havent played it since S1 but i may pick it up again in TWW depending on guild needs. But im certainly going to key with it more to maintain gear on it

blazing condor
#

Well you were reinforcing the best habit to have

#

Too bad you didnt get much reward from it though

#

But much better than just not doing it

carmine solstice
ebon geyser
#

and i have sparks of dreams but not the crest

#

since i dont think they drop anymore

carmine solstice
#

Useless

ebon geyser
#

i need crest to craft so i guess ill make stuff during the week

#

is macro demo shout and avatar a thing?

@strong forum is this normal IP should be there no

yes this is normal on my weakaura pack

its just text

ebon geyser
#

ok , wanted to make sure i didnt mess something up

strong forum
#

this is how it looks on my end

#

the green bar btw is the tierset defensive buff

carmine solstice
#

@ebon geyser you can move the ignore pain value likely.

ebon geyser
#

i have no tier

strong forum
#

ya, so you can just move the value, or add the icon

ebon geyser
#

is all good , wanted to make sure

#

also question, does the cache from the 2.5k rep in the dream still give you good loot or no

strong forum
#

well its scaled to s4 loot now i think

#

so like 480-509ilvl stuff i think

ebon geyser
#

reason i ask is once i start to run some 0s that gear will be obsolete?

#

ohh 509 nice

#

so it goes up with my ilvl

no Temple of Jade?

Hoi and Uldaman because each dungeon feels like its 2hrs long

lusty grotto

the argument to Jade, is that it was a dungeon that properly tested tanks

strong forum

Jade is quick and only suffered from a shit tank busters

well "properly" cause you could get RNGd with wave

i might replace Uldaman with Jade

yeah

but you could bug it out

south zealot

that guy took so fucking long lol

and then the boss would destroy tanks

with his jailer level auto attacks

3rd boss, the trio, was praying for good axes RNG (bleed)

that your havoc would blade dance dodge them all

#

same for the charge boss

south zealot
#

kings rest was also just like 3 key levels harder than everything else right

strong forum
#

yes

#

because of the bosses

#

the dungeon was literally 90% bosses on tyr

#

and on fort it was 100% "can you get past zul"?

#

with awakened affix the dungeon routing became ALOT better

#

since you could skip most of the bridge

#

and the playerpower was high enough that zul was only 30% overpowered

#

and not 100%

#

never nerfed btw

#

1 entire expansion shadow of zul got nerfed twice in total

#

a) for teeming, so you wouldnt get 2 Zuls

#

b) received a 10% nerf to its aoe dmg thingy in s4 iirc

#

thats it

VDH was so ungodly tanky in BFA if you played gluttony

I got a group earlier this week when people asking MM hunter "Why don't you lust? put the pet out." his answer "I am MM." everybody shake their head, including me.

ionic flare
#

The MM I play with who swapped to BM pretty quickly in season 1 explained it like the team asking you to eat gravel for their benefit

#

sure, it benefits the team, but it still tastes and feels like gravel as it goes down your esophagus, and it's not pleasant

#

whereas BM just... does it and moves on with their life

manic mural
#

Is Treemouth's more usefull than Granyth's?

south zealot

yeah its better defensively

bro i see why some vengs do 0 damage

if u go full defensively this spec

does fucking nothing

winged grail
#

what gems are prot warriors using in mop remix?

lusty grotto
#

any and all

#

buff all stats + armor

#

wonder why i keep seeing

#

prot raid builds with show of force instead of sudden death

#

in both retail modes lmao

#

shit is wild

blazing condor
#

We dislike execute in this household

lusty grotto
#

theres absolutely nothing in here, or wowhead, or icy veins that picks show of force

#

and yet

winged grail
#

i meant tinker gems

lusty grotto
#

this week alone ive seen more warriors with it in raid than anything

lusty grotto
#

unless youre ward tank

winged grail
#

why memory of vengeance? once you have good cloak + gear you never take dmg

lusty grotto
#

swap that out then at your own discretion

#

we're not min maxing a meme game mode

#

those are just the ones that were good before big ilvl gains

#

and thread count

winged grail
#

exactly my point this guide is halfbaked

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

exactly my point, this guide is for a meme game mode

winged grail
#

a meme game mode wiht higher player count than s4 lol

lusty grotto
#

and i was pretty explanatory on my reasoning

#

so?

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

millions ate tide pods, is it a good idea?

radiant mortar
ionic fern
#

I'd argue that the "meme" here is due to the "You can do whatever you want because it's supposed to be fun".

winged grail
#

why was wildfire chosen as a dps gem ? its n aoe but does it outscale single targer options like quick strike even in ST encounters? i have lots of questions but none of the information is out there

lusty grotto
#

thats exactly my point mwahi

winged grail
#

also, i looked at other class guides where the wrtier at least gave explanations for their gem picks

#

who wrote the prot warrior one it is so barebones its sad

lusty grotto
#

k

radiant mortar
#

Someone took his time to write something up for a mode that will be gone in 80 days

ionic fern
#

I don't think anyone actually did any relevant theorycrafting for Remix since it's a "temporary" game-mode, that not all of the theorycrafters are going to be playing.

radiant mortar
#

and its still not enough for you?

ionic fern
#

I haven't even touched Remix outside of the VERY-VERY short testing phase.

radiant mortar
#

lvl 20 for the mount into quit

lusty grotto

im doing ok

Comapre blood DK to prot warrior guide

radiant mortar

playing dk because our guide is so barebone?

winged grail

no because i already have a prot warrior

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

and i dont want to level another one

ionic fern
#

If you read deeper into the BDK you can see that majority of the text is "What does this gem do".

#

E.g "It gives 5% haste".

#

You can just hover over it and read it.

winged grail
lusty grotto
#

guy is really invested in min maxing remix

ionic fern
#

^

lusty grotto
#

shrug

#

you can see the icons there

ionic fern
#

I'm happy that people are enjoying WoW Remix. okayge

#

But it's not something i even care about.

#

Or plan on playing.

winged grail
#

Is there any reaosn to go over 100% crit btw or is that the cap

#

like idk if enemies have negative modifiers agasint your crit

lusty grotto
#

theres no caps

#

you get way too much rating to worry about caps

#

or DRs

winged grail
#

wouldn't 100% crit mean you crit all the time though? so going over that would be a waste

lusty grotto
#

crit increases crit damage

winged grail
#

why doesnt the in game tooltip say that?

lusty grotto
#

because blizzard

jagged gust
#

hehehe

winged grail
#

and why is speed hardcapped at 49% not 50%? why is it hardcapped at all

#

I noticed that playing with my gems earlier. looking forward to capping it naturally throuhg threads and removing the gems 🙂

jagged gust
#

I just can't wait until I have enough gems maxed that I don't have to use speed+stam gems

winged grail
#

speed is probably my favorite stat in remix, its going to be rough going back to retail and being so slow

#

i'll also miss my double heroic leap 😔

jagged gust
#

glory days, really

winged grail
#

Does mastery or vers scale better in terms of dps? vers says it increaers the damage you deal, and mastery increases your attack power

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt matter, get both

#

get all of the stats

jagged gust
#

first one, then the other

ionic fern
#

Isn't remix just..."YOu get super-duper freaking strong and get a ton of every stat" ?

radiant mortar
#

Yes

lusty grotto
#

yeah pretty much

winged grail
#

yes which is why im asking, which stat is actually better dps wise since the defensive component of each is nullified by the fact that wiht high ilvl youre unkillable in remix

lusty grotto
#

whats your ilvl

ionic fern
#

Idk..vers?

winged grail
#

is % dmg from vers or % dmg from mastery stronger

ionic fern
#

Maybe vers scales with the weird bonuses you get from gems.

lusty grotto
#

cause i just got fucking rocked in endless spring heroic

#

and im at 430s

urban portal
#

You get a lot of mastery in remix

#

But vers affects borrowed power

lusty grotto
#

of course me and the other tank were the only ones alive

urban portal
#

So hard to say

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

not in raids

winged grail
#

i'm i lvl 440 and just did that raid an hour ago, took no dmg. like seeing my hp bar move just doesnt happen in remix unless the rest of the group wipes which is farily common since most people arent upgrading their gear lol

lusty grotto
#

depends

#

if you have carry dps

#

and/or are warding

#

youre 440? so youre maxed?

#

530 weapon?

winged grail
#

440 isnt max, nope

#

weapon is 514

#

rest 500

lusty grotto
winged grail
lusty grotto
#

youre really taking this game mode that seriously lmao

winged grail
#

your ilvl is like lower than your armor/weapon

#

becasue jewlery doesnt scale up

lusty grotto
#

im aware

winged grail
#

makes it kind of annoying to judge people's power

#

since the numbers are off from what youd expect them to be

lusty grotto
#

no not really

#

its relative

radiant mortar
#

dont tell me you are super picky who you pick for dungeons and raid

lusty grotto
#

everyone has 342 accessories

radiant mortar
#

its a fricking fun mode

winged grail
#

you definitely dont want to bring people with unupgraded gear to heroics, theyre jsut dead weight at that point and getting carried

#

1 mech will one shot them

#

thye dont need to be super juiced though

lusty grotto
#

shrug

winged grail
#

how good is avoidance? i noticed its the only stat that doenst have a gem

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter

winged grail
#

but it can roll as the main stat on gear

#

no threads either

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter

winged grail
#

I think it does matter. at the peak of mop remix you will have so much of every single stat that avoidance will probably be BIS

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt matter

winged grail
#

since its the only one you cant get thru threads or gems

lusty grotto
#

equip whatever you want

#

youre at a point that it literally

#

does

#

not

#

matter

winged grail
#

it does matter becasue most raids have like half the group dying so I need to figure out how to squeeze more dmg. every .01% counts. i've considered trying some of the more healing oritent and party play gems but the problem wiht those is they feel underwhelming becasue most deaths in remix are due to bad tuning and one shots

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt matter

winged grail
#

and undergeared ppl jsut feeding

lusty grotto
#

which doesnt matter

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

gone in 2.5 months = doesnt matter

winged grail
#

beasue you cant get it via threads or gems, which means avoidance is the only stat with a theoretical hardcap if you roll it on every single piece of gear

#

if you want to truly max your toon you need avoidance in every slot

lusty grotto
#

all we can say is

#

avoidance does nothing for us in normal retail

#

as tanks

#

it does absolutely jack shit

radiant mortar
#

bro you arnt taking dmg why do you want a stat that would reduce the dmg you are not taking ?

lusty grotto
#

because avoidance only reduces aoe damage

#

are you dying to aoe?

radiant mortar
#

stop using that much brain power on a fun mode

winged grail
#

im not dying at all

lusty grotto
#

because you seem like you arent

#

so then dont fucking worry about avoidance

#

like i said

#

it DOES NOT matter

maybe

radiant mortar

what about vs retail? lots of bosses dont evne have reflectable stuff

the alternative is no damage so

dungeon bosses have a lot of reflect stuff

something is better than nothing

sand pebble
winged grail
#

Also, back to the wowhead guide. there is a lot of unneeded utility in the dungeon spec. things die so qucik that shockwave / intim shouit seem to have no purpose

#

cc in general does nothing in this mode

sand pebble
#

you run shockwave to proc the crit gem

radiant mortar
#

write your own guide if you are unhappy

lusty grotto
#

id say he should make his own decisions, the guide isnt for him

winged grail
#

why does champions spear exist when its so simialr to ravager and everyone seems to just pick that? does it have any actual use case?

radiant mortar
#

sadly no

#

we can't have fun things as warrior

sand pebble
radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

yeah for a whole 2.5 months

sand pebble
#

spear aoe is small and everything needs to ber hit by it to gain the increased damage taken, ravager follows mobs

winged grail
#

bro you realsie a wow seaosn is liek 4 months and then the meta shifts invalidating some of the class guides

#

retail wow is literally on a seasonal model

#

with the constent ilvl inflation

lusty grotto
#

our class guide hasnt changed for ...

winged grail
#

so why do ppl write guide for it?

lusty grotto
#

the whole expansion

#

i guess 1 or 2 talent choices changed

#

thats about it

sand pebble
#

yeah lol last stand talents for the tier bonus was about it

#

pwar was that good this xpac it didnt need updating

winged grail
#

i said some , not prot in general thats just more indicative of the state of our spec....

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

OUR spec

#

and yet

#

you started playing it

#

in remix

#

because you very obviously

winged grail
#

i played in s2 and s3

lusty grotto
#

dont know shit about it at all

sand pebble
#

i mean its still my fave tank, preferred solo conteent playsstyle, best tank in keys upto 10, capable of tanking heroic raids possibly better than some other tanks and only really ever fell short in the highest content

#

shield block uptime has been a game changer

winged grail
#

hey i heard they are removing the damage done penalty form defensive stance, how does that differntiate it from battle stance going forward in tww

sand pebble
#

already live in game

young wasp
#

Same as it is now?

#

B stance for burst windows where you want to crit

#

D stance when you're taking damage that could 1 shot you?

sand pebble
#

live in bstance permantly until you need some DR

winged grail
#

i dont think its live yet

young wasp
#

Itt used to be 10%

lusty grotto
winged grail
#

hey

#

why arent there remix speicif channels for classes? if there are tww and cata / vanilla versions

#

jsut saw that

radiant mortar
#

because no one cares

winged grail
#

people might actually care to theorcraft and engage with discussion about the modes more if there was actually a place to do it lol

lusty grotto
#

classic warrior discord is fight club

#

try there

winged grail
#

who says thye dont care? was there a vote and that was the consensus?

young wasp
#

Yeah, the council of prot warriors voted

sand pebble
#

why cant wew do it here tho, its build on current wow

young wasp
#

We HATE fun

#

and we LOVE battle-scarred veteren

sand pebble
#

then we just ignore it

winged grail
#

speaking of rage is there an ddon that shows your ignore pain as like a % over your hp bar similar to how XIV handles absorbs? (they call it barriers there)

#

i noticed wow completely lacks this option in default ui and its very cringe

winged grail
#

you cant even tell how big an absorb is

#

why would i want to be weak? i'd be playing mage if that were the case

#

i picked prot war to be strong

radiant mortar

you are memeing right

this is bait

young wasp

😎 Prot warrior is bis for Igira can confirm

sand pebble

hes def baiting if he said mage is weaak

honesstly same with warlocks and dark pact
