south zealot
#

dont die

radiant mortar
#

noted

orchid gulch
#

Kite the basilisks and rotate stuns on the big snake gits

#

Aside of that it's a fairly standard dungeon until the end boss and that's not directly in your control

radiant mortar
#

mhm I heard 2 and 3 boss are tough

#

ula and hoi are my worst keys

lusty grotto
#

i facetank basilisks

#

hoi is easy

jagged pier
#

i just dont run keys

#

hoi is easy

radiant mortar
#

man how i love good player saying shit like that

lusty grotto
#

hoi is only hard for healers cause of 3rd boss (and gauntlet mini boss on fort)

#

nothing there really hurts if you SR bolts, spell block them, and run away from dragon breaths

#

everything is dodgeable

radiant mortar
#

I die a lot to last boss, third boss is omega cancer with the frogs

#

people not stoping casts/ccing the orbs at the start...

lusty grotto
#

whats even killing you on last boss lol

#

dodge and reflect

orchid gulch
#

Probably standing in swirlies, I'd assume

#

I have a feeling they're slightly larger than they appear and can be hard to see at times

jagged pier
#

second boss has frogs no?

orchid gulch
#

Think so, yes

jagged pier
#

And that is easy ppl just need to run throught the frod

#

Not away

#

3rd boss u just sr frost shock ggs

radiant mortar
jagged pier
#

4th boss u sr deluge gg

radiant mortar
#

the frog boss sucks!

#

3 boss is chill as tank

#

the knockback still gets me, I dont know who thought that this is a fun mechanic

#

where he knocks back the tank to just melee a dps

south zealot
#

u gotta taunt right before he knocks you back

#

its kinda dumb

radiant mortar
#

I learnd that yesterday from a friend

#

didnt know beforhand

#

just didnt play hoi :D

orchid gulch
#

On the last boss, right?

#

Just blame the swirlies

jagged pier
#

well u can see where the swirlies are before the knockkback

#

just dont be knocked into one

radiant mortar
#

true dont forget Im also just not a good player :D

blazing condor
#

the fact that you at least sit in a class-discord and ask questions make you better than most okayge

jagged pier
#

well time will tell but u cant always use it as a crutch and if u refuse to take the advice we give here, u may find we get more frustrated over time

blazing condor
#

well who would do that

unkempt hazel
#

I love that boss on dk tbf

#

what knockback?

rigid yew
#

my route, basically just chain as much as you can live together. 1,2,3 areas trash basically has 1 or 0 mechanics. 4,5 quite a bit slower due to quite a few wipey / one shot mechanics. last area people tend to skip but its VERY effecient if you can survive it. I run 10-13s so have no clue if it's optimal for super high keys

lusty grotto
#

you do it in 5 pulls?

#

hoooly

blazing condor
#

gonna be hard to gather all of those

lusty grotto
#

yeah idk about that

blazing condor
#

Also on pull 4 what's gonna end up happening is that the ads running after you are probably gonna social aggro the mobs down the stairs near the boss, cus they can't jump off ledges

lusty grotto
rigid yew
#

I don't route with pulls because it's very dependent on how tanky a person is.
This dungeon is very chainy though. Area 1 I usually do in 3 pulls, area 2 is basically one long chain as some things die off, area 3 is one big pull depending on how the group is. area 4 is 4 pulls, area 5 is 2-3 pulls

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

thats not a shareable route then

#

you cant plan lusts with that

rigid yew
#

lusts are always the same, either first pull or first boss, then on cd. tyran save for bosses, fort use on trash or bosses as you feel the need

lusty grotto
#

theres no either

#

you lust first pull

#

you never lust 1st boss

#

if you do, youre gonna run into problems for chargath

rigid yew
#

you dont need lust for char on fort

lusty grotto
#

sorry, your route is whack, pulls are important

#

then youre not doing high enough keys

#

on fort youre not gonna lust 1st pull??

#

i cant even

rigid yew
#

its all relative, anyways, it all works fine for me

lusty grotto
#

yeah except you cant share that route with your group cause they wont understand it

#

cant plan dps cds with it etc

radiant mortar
#

at what level of key does that start to be important? 15?

lusty grotto
#

also it if works for you, why share it here

#

what are you gonna lust around chargath

#

if not chargath

#

everything is chained

#

i mean you can blow it on a chain, but will it have full lust uptime?

echo egret
#

I always go Chargath first in pugs, because that's the key-killer boss for pugs.

lusty grotto
#

that'll kill your lust timings

rigid yew
#

well at the least I gave you a brain aneurysm

lusty grotto
#

glad to know we got a doctor in medicine here

rigid yew
#

I am a learned doctor

lusty grotto
#

on that note, i got a weird thing on my back, doesnt itch though, could it be the mesh chair?

rigid yew
#

weird thing is most probably a tumor

violet ginkgo
#

I see, I'll take this as reference then

blazing condor
#

live bullion reaction:

#

i aint paying 300k for something i will eventually get for free in a week or so

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats a hard pass

rigid yew
#

I didn't even play S3 for the last 3 months so I think I'm good for S4 xD

#

just hope TWW is good

unkempt hazel

you have to be insane to pay any gold on items this season with bullions being a thing

blazing condor
#

or insanely rich

violet ginkgo
torn gulch
#

he said it was mythic dreadplates

#

that's buyable with bullions

violet ginkgo
#

well he doesn't have patients to buy with bullion perhaps because he got other things to buy

jagged pier
#

it also frees a bullion if u get it from loot

eager phoenix
#

how much is there to buy? 2 rings, weapons and a trinket. even if you missed the happy meal quest the other week. there is time to buy mogs 🙂

thin glade
#

Multi spec gamers

violet ginkgo
radiant mortar
#

why nymue shield

#

isn't gnarltoot better?

#

or mog?

violet ginkgo
#

I think ppl recommend the nymue here? Also I am not worried about mog, I just got the good mog which I will use for a long time.

blazing condor
#

nymue shield is the better one

#

according to sims and shit

torn gulch
#

I only liked two shield transmogs in this game for my warrior: bulwark of azzinoth and the hidden appearance of our artifact shield

blazing condor
#

you got some good ones

#

crest of lorderon

violet ginkgo
#

I just got that hidden appearance 13 hours ago XD
I also got that royal crest

#

been using royal crest for a while but that hidden appearance is really smokin'

#

I was like "Let me just give it a check before I go sleep." then when I enter the emote and roar happen, oh thank god, the hunt is over.

torn gulch
#

I'm a full set andy

violet ginkgo
#

You know after I got that hidden appearance mog, the shield is really good but how can they design the weapon to be... that bad? at least IMO.

torn gulch
#

you don't use the weapon

#

kekw

violet ginkgo
#

Oh yeah of course but still... what were they thinking at that time?

#

giving one of the best shield appearance in the game but at the same time package it with bad looking weapon

torn gulch
#

in this game you have duds and awesome designs

#

it happens

#

this xpac and next xpac you have the case of tier sets looking like absolute shit and open world sets looking incredible

#

people will cream on those arathi sets next xpac

#

especially the plate and cloth ones

violet ginkgo
#

I think the onyx crucible dragon based armor warrior now is not bad at least for my taste it's nice.

#

I do love a cats personality though, how they only want you around when they choose it

radiant mortar
#

Agree, I think to few people know/get that cats have vastly dif personalities

waxen cradle
#

yep exactly

radiant mortar
#

the right one loves to be near you and involved

#

the white one is fine with grazing you with her presence

#

unless its cuddle time

#

than she loves getting her belly rubs and can get enough

#

till its time to be distant again xD

radiant mortar
waxen cradle
#

yeah our girl she loves to play, and wants to be around you until she gets bored and then she will find something else to do until play time again

#

our girl she also loves to run

#

radiant mortar
#

waxen cradle

placid magnet
#

is Elementium Pocket Anvil easier to keep up than Cataclysmic Signet Brand in M+ ?

lusty grotto
#

it could be, if you dont use it as mobs are dying

#

and then hit it out of combat

placid magnet
#

like if i macro'd it on a spell?

lusty grotto
#

huh

#

if you macro it, you will use it when you least need it

#

when using the combo'd ability

placid magnet
#

sorry, i didn't understand what you said then 😄

lusty grotto
#

its on use, so you can use it and extend the timer

#

but if you macro it to something, you probably wont have the use available

#

because it'll just spam it

#

anvil also drops all 5 stacks instead of dropping slowly like signet

#

so...

#

theres pros and cons

placid magnet
#

i probably didn't understand how the trinket works lol

The on-use effect increase by 33% the dmg done by the passive, 5 times max right ?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

its very similar to signet

#

max 5 stacks

placid magnet
#

ok

lusty grotto
#

signet drops 1 stack by 1 stack out of combat

#

anvil drops everything

#

but its on-use so you can extend it for some leeway

placid magnet
#

Okk go it

lusty grotto
#

anvil is also slightly better dps

placid magnet
#

Also i wish i never bought Rageheart with bullions 😄

lusty grotto
#

should have gone with gholak as per our recomendations

#

but it is what it is

placid magnet
#

I did

lusty grotto
#

youll get more bullions

#

we're like 3 months away from the season ending anyway

placid magnet
#

Gholak > Rageheart (had no trinkets by that time) > Eranog ring

yeah well :\

it is what it is

You can play around with Gear compare to figure out exactly what you would need to do just takes some time

Is there an internal CD on the shield proc?

you can see those details on wowhead

I was trying to find that.. didn't see it tho.. I'll keep looking

Sweet, thx

south zealot

thats not gholak

#

myth track helm is nice though

Ooof

Helm it is

with socky

Oh yeah that’s big

Double hole last week surely cool item this week and not holes again

#

which would you choose for someone who does only M+ dreadplate or seal of filial duty

#

im really tempted by dreadplate

lusty grotto
#

dreadplate first

#

filial after that

near walrus
#

sold 😛

ancient crystal
#

If I do only m+ and I have anvil and dreadplate + gholak/diurna ring is the play shield ring or maybe rage heart?

#

I want another defensive option for higher keys and I don’t have cheat death trink

left basalt
#

i think the play is farm treemouth trinket from BH

#

if you want another defensive on use

lusty grotto
#

i see my nickname doesnt work

south zealot
ancient crystal
#

Gotcha alright

#

Sang is gone so it’s time to grind harder

south zealot
#

the highest ive seen rageheart do on logs is like 16k dps

#

ive seen anvil do 20k multiple times and it has mainstat

#

the shield rageheart gives you is basically nothing

ancient crystal
#

Ah okay

#

Is granyth scale an alright option too if I happen upon it

south zealot
#

its fine

#

not rlly good

cinder nova
#

How much do we care about seal of filial duty

south zealot
#

as compared to what

cinder nova
#

A better itemized ring

#

I'd be dropping about 1000 haste

south zealot
#

filial will be one of your bis

cinder nova
#

But isn't that because it's just a free minor absorb and the rest of our BIS can easily cover the loss and then some

south zealot
#

yes and its highest ilvl

strong forum
#

its a free 400k shield

#

every so often

#

vs a ring with just slightly different stats and lower ilvl

#

hmmm

#

which is better

south zealot
#

yeah if u get haste on your other pieces of gear

#

youll be fine

cinder nova
#

Yeah, this isn't me trying to reinvent the wheel, I'm trying to figure out how much value a mastery-heavy ring is going to be over taking a different upgrade in my vault at the expense of over 1K Haste.

#

I can guarantee I wont be trying to prog Mythic this season, so it's not like I'll be killing Diurna

#

Also, it's 400K?

#

Tooltip at 535 says 262K - does it scale with something?

left basalt
#

thats at base 1/14

#

14/14 upgraded at 535 is what Nom was saying

lusty grotto
#

yes it scales with ilvl

cinder nova
#

Can you buy X/14 with your bullions, or just X/12

lusty grotto
#

14

left basalt
#

all the "rare" items are 14/14

lusty grotto
#

no

#

only last bosses

#

diurna is 12

south zealot
#

correct nimmy

left basalt
#

yeah you're right

cinder nova
#

What's the PPM on it anyway

lusty grotto
fallow fern
#

So if I have a Heroic gholak.. do I go for awakened gholak or shield ring first?

lusty grotto
cinder nova
#

IT SCALES WITH HASTE?

strong forum
#

my shield on my shammy/evoker are close to 400k

cinder nova
#

Huh... how come the M+ BIS doesn't care about the VOTI rings?

strong forum
#

read specifically

#

the m+ bis list

#

is gear from m+

#

not bis for m+

cinder nova
#

I see. Do you have any key logs wearing RoFD? I'm kinda curious how much it eats over the course of a single run.

austere oar
#

How does eranog's ring work exactly ?
Is it based on the amount of fire damage dealt ? Or how many fire ticks can trigger it ?
Cuz my question is would a class with more fire damage baseline benefit more from it than another one that has less fire dmg ?

lusty grotto
#

how is that question prot warrior related?

cinder nova
#

No.

#

We deal enough fire damage to get its mileage plenty.

frozen rose
#

does catalyst destroy sockets you add from the great vault reward? realizing it's a slight dps increase for me to use catalyst on something, but i just added a socket to the item

cinder nova
#

Shadowflame from embels, gholak, lots of our desired trinkets, and the helm enchant.

frozen rose
#

ah ok thx, that's an easy replace

austere oar
lusty grotto
#

yes?

#

its in our list

austere oar
#

I'm just curious as of how it works

lusty grotto
#

what does other classes have to do with anything

austere oar
#

Cuz every tanks equip it, but some do more fire DMG than others, but does that make a difference how much fire DMG you do compared to how many sources of fire DMG you have

#

For the ring

cinder nova
#

So, I just told you.

lusty grotto
#

sources dont fucking matter

#

if its hard capped at 2 ppm

south zealot
#

We have enough sources of fire damage that we get the same samage from the ring

#

damage

austere oar
#

Why are you so aggressive ?

#

I asked how it works because I don't know how it works

lusty grotto
#

because its literally

cinder nova
#

It's more that understanding how it works isn't going to make it better or worse. The answer is we do enough fire damage to cap.

radiant mortar
#

just wiped a ulda that was going well because dps wanted me to pull bigger and bigger and where perma spamming pings

#

pulled bigger melees got cleaved and left...

south zealot

My dps in pugs always pulling and dying and leaving 🙂

cinder nova
radiant mortar
#

sure I could go bigger from the start but I m still getting used to big pulls and living

austere oar
cinder nova
#

Yes, and we do lots and lots of it.

#

Like at least 10%+ of our damage if fire or a fire hybrid.

#

And that's kind of a lowball estimate.

radiant mortar
#

fire golem boss in ulda, the frontal does SR work on that or not I always got big dmg hits even with SR

cinder nova
#

Yes.

lusty grotto
#

yes it works on the dot

#

not the hit

cinder nova
#

It stops the- yeah the debuff dot.

radiant mortar
#

ah ok

cinder nova
#

You can and should use it on every frontal.

radiant mortar
#

yeah I did

cinder nova
#

There are also overlaps where the circles and the frontal overlap too, so it's basically free DR.

radiant mortar
#

was just wondering if I miss anything

cinder nova
#

Nah, when you go up in key level (especially Tyr) you gotta be more deliberate about what defensives you hit for each frontal.

#

Because your group is going to be getting absolutely melted during certain mechanics and your job is to basically survive long enough for your healer to eventually get to you.

radiant mortar
#

what other big thing would I need to def on that boss?

cinder nova
#

There really isn't much aside from accidentally face-checking one of the floor mechs.

radiant mortar
#

just frontal and dodge the tornado right

cinder nova
#

Basically.

lusty grotto
#

on intermission you can pop SR and step into a tornado after the golem shields are down

#

and it'll reflect the dot to one of them

cinder nova
#

Oh, really? That's kinda cash.

lusty grotto
#

yes since foreverf

vestal moat
#

the tornado is the red lines that chase us around the room?

#

clockwise

cinder nova
#

No, nope. Don't touch that.

#

The roaming AOE that the golems hurl around during P1.

#

Reflecting it during P1 is kinda useless since they can't be hurt.

lusty grotto
#

the tornadoes are the tornadoes

#

im not sure how you would confuse a huge line with them but

#

like S said, its not the line

vestal moat
#

oh yeah cool tech tks

urban bane
#

I think, depending on graphics settings, they may show as just moving fire circles on the ground.

lusty grotto
#

they were just tornadoes in s3

#

and if youre not seeing them you have the wrong graphic settings

urban bane
#

yeah they added the circle ground effect. i honestly never noticed the tornado

lusty grotto

in s3?

urban bane

in s4

lusty grotto

you never noticed the tornadoes in s3?

oh

did you not play s3?

I don't really remember s3. Also wasn't that s2

looking at raider.io and i cant help but notice that the top prot warr rn (Bobas) isnt using Gholak? can anyone tell me why is that?

should i even be using raiderio for insight on what gear i should be getting or just stick to icy and wowhead

pallid quiver

that's not the listing format i wanted, discord

but it's close enough, i guess

south zealot

gholak just does the most damage

u can sim it if you want

theres no reason to not use jt

it

i wanna be carried by a team sadge

bobas got lucky with a myth strike twice, so he might just be leaving the buy for later

yer but its not vdh

south zealot
#

tank is the thing ppl care about the most it seems

#

for meta

chilly brook
#

It’s a bit late to do anything now

#

But idk how blizz let double sigil last an entire season and then said “eh hey you know what let’s let them keep it for the next season”

south zealot
#

utility is so insanely cooe

#

cope

#

it really is

chilly brook
#

It is until it isn’t

south zealot
#

double sigil is nice but who cares

#

evokers have 3 stops alone

chilly brook
south zealot
#

a good dh yeah

#

but good dhs dont exist

#

because reroll tanks are ethe worst retolls

#

rerolls

plush tendon
#

the double sigil with the nerfs is for sure less oppressive then it was, but its still a potent tool along with chains and misery

#

plus, we are living in a caster world so the chaos brand is a nice bump to group dps

chilly brook
#

DH isn’t exactly the most tanky either

south zealot
#

its really cope

chilly brook
#

It’s not though

south zealot
#

it is

chilly brook
#

Usually I’d be in the “utility is cope” camp

south zealot
#

chains is the best thing about dh and its not really close

#

silence is nice but like

#

most casts in the game dont matter

#

and/or can be stopped by literally anything

plush tendon
#

DH is tanky enough

#

I think Prot War shines defensively in a lot of these dungeons

#

but VDH is very capable of living through those same bosses and pulls

chilly brook
#

That’s great that they can be stopped by literally anything, but you can’t sit here and say a class that brings all the stops by virtue of existing on top of whatever every other class that you bring isn’t insanely valuable

plush tendon
#

I personally want to see a resurgence of melee dps in keys

#

im so sick of the caster meta

chilly brook
#

TWW BrM meta

plush tendon
#

naw, its BDK

chilly brook
#

I mean you could play budget vengeance by being blood rn

#

Just don’t randomly die and you’re good

south zealot
#

obviously, theyre the best tank right now for a reason

chilly brook
south zealot
#

but

#

they arent much better

chilly brook
#

That depends quite heavily on the metric

south zealot
#

close to even tankiness

#

basically even damage

#

they bring chaos brand so they do a little more damage in that sense

chilly brook
#

But prot is basically 2-3 key levels behind

south zealot
#

but also vdhs do less dmaage bc they dont know what theyre doing

south zealot
chilly brook
#

It is

south zealot
#

definitely not

chilly brook
south zealot
#

LMAO

grim pilot
#

@strong forum

#

are u alive

south zealot
#

just because prot warrior is 2-3 key levels behind when ppl are ONLY playing vdh

#

means literally nothing

chilly brook
#

It’s a tangible metric

south zealot
#

its a bad metric

chilly brook
#

As opposed to what better metric?

south zealot
#

ppl not playing something and it looking worse because people arent playing it

grim pilot
#

good players

#

are playing better specs

#

warrior is behind

chilly brook
#

Sense is bad now?

grim pilot
#

but 3 key levels

south zealot
#

the rank 1 key pushers are playing the best specs always

grim pilot
#

do u know how much is that

south zealot
#

regardless of how the difference is

grim pilot
#

you're nitpicking

chilly brook
#

Not like it matters most people aren’t doing 20s and 21s

south zealot
#

if 21s are cap

#

warriors are not capped at 18

#

thats just certainly not tru

chilly brook
#

It only matters for the small number of people who are pushing

#

The only key above 18 by a warrior is AV at 19

#

And it’s not a matter of being capped, as the season goes on I’m sure the numbers will continue to go higher

south zealot
#

do i have to do 19s to prove this wrong

chilly brook
#

Go ahead

crystal mauve
#

It’s also annoying to not be able to pug because people only take VdH. It discouraged me from playing warrior tbh. Last season with 3500+ io i wasn’t invited in +24/25 while I was on my shit VDH >.<

south zealot
#

ig season 4 is a spite season

#

i agree man pugging is super rough if youre not a dh

chilly brook
#

Season 4 isn’t worth the effort of trying to push imo

south zealot
#

i agree but i already got told my opinion wasnt valuable unless i was top 10 ip

#

io

#

so i got top 10

chilly brook
#

I didn’t say your opinion wasn’t valuable

#

The only thing I’ve been saying is that normally I would be in your camp of utility is a meme until it isn’t

#

Vengeance is busted

lusty grotto
#

lol choco every single one of us has been told that

#

multiple times

#

i cant count the times with two hands

chilly brook
#

It’s not some crazy take, they are an obvious outlier in terms of mob control

south zealot
#

i agree vdh is too strong

#

but everyone overexaggerates it

chilly brook
#

Do I genuinely think that prot isn’t capable of doing the same level of keys? No

south zealot
lusty grotto
#

true i only count with my hands

what ya guys think buy Fillial Duty ring, Signet Brand, or Enduring Dreadplate trinket, my other trinkets are Treemouth H upgraded, H Anvil upgraded, Awakened Grieftorch upgraded. I have a Dreadplate but its champion ?

echo egret
#

can you remind me what to answer to "in battle stance, you're sucking healing away from the rest of the group"

south zealot
#

who told you that

#

prot warrior takes like 0 damage even in battle stance for the vast, vast majority of situations

plush tendon
south zealot
#

youre not stealing any healing because youre not taking damage, and if you are you are healing it with leech and indomitable

echo egret
south zealot
#

well to be fair you should throw it in defensive stance for the frontal

#

but also

#

u can heal yourself up after every tank buster so no reason they shouldve been healing you

#

vexamus just hits really really hard, even if your tank was immune to damage

chilly brook
#

Vexamus just sucks to heal, lots of group damage, but like healer shouldn't be dumping heals into you regardless of stance

echo egret
#

that's what I think as well

plush tendon
#

theres only one overlap that is rough

#

around 2:15

#

on Vex

echo egret
#

yep

#

and that can be arranged

plush tendon
#

you can potentially desync it, but also just popping a big CDs there works to

#

idk, healers are weird. I feel like half of them dont want to play the game or dont like being challanged

ebon geyser
#

is the gear in the awaken raid on wed same ilvl as the one from aberrus in all difficulties?

@plush tendon Only reason I leaned towards the ring is one of my rings is champion so even though its low priority it seems the go to

plush tendon
#

thats are meh for us

#

only reason why we take it is its 435

waxen cradle
#

@plush tendon I can get a ring without too much trouble from M+

plush tendon
#

yea, there are good haste/crit rings in M+

#

one from AV which is super ez to do

waxen cradle
#

Do we also take the Ouroboreal neck due to item level ?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

any myth neck > ouroboreal

#

also you dont take it cause youre gonna be haste starved

plush tendon
#

Ouroboreal caps are 528 like all other mythpieces

#

and with Durina and Duty rings, you need a haste neck to offeset that

lusty grotto
#

volcoross isnt an end boss

#

so it caps at 12, like any other myth neck

ebon geyser
plush tendon
#

literally can buy 5 pieces with bullion, have all the catalyst charges, a free tier pieces from 2k IO or 1 heroic full clear

#

getting a toon up in running literally just requires you to play the game

ebon geyser
#

what does 1 full heroic do?

plush tendon
#

gives a free tier piece

#

either 2k IO or AoTC in any of the raids

#

plus the Wyrm crests are nice

ebon geyser
#

some are needing me to get 495 to join group

waxen cradle
#

yeah is why I cant decide between, Rageheart trinket, Dread, or Signet Brand mainly

lusty grotto
#

..

waxen cradle
#

thinking heavily Dread trink

plush tendon
#

Dread is nice

#

but also, will be farmable soon

#

Rageheart is aight

waxen cradle
#

true

plush tendon
#

Signet is meh imo

lusty grotto
#

rageheart is not alright as a bullion buy

plush tendon
#

but you'll have plenty of bullions; take the thing you want

lusty grotto
#

its alright as a drop

#

ahem ahem

plush tendon
#

Rageheart isnt terrible... personally rather have Dplate or just use a splinter if I want a shield

south zealot
#

it does less damage than actual damage trinkets

plush tendon
#

but its not a bad trinket

south zealot
#

and doesnt have mainstat

#

and its shield just breaks immediately compared to a partial absorb

plush tendon
#

for my warrior Im using Dplate and All-totem

#

but hes just doing like 10s 11s

#

fun alt keys and what not

#

if I was gonna push IO, it would be on my VDH who is geared out of her mind

waxen cradle
#

yeah is why I am leaning towards Dread trink because of having a upgraded H Splinter trinket

south zealot
#

dreadplate is so good

waxen cradle
#

if I need a absorb that one more than does the trick

south zealot
#

comparable damage to anvil, though its worse

#

and the onuse is so nice

waxen cradle
#

yeah dread is awesome mine is just champion for this week anyway 🙂

plush tendon
#

Splinter is kind of useless unless you are pushing big IO

#

like, I wouldnt use it

waxen cradle
#

I dont normally

lusty grotto
#

by that logic

#

why even consider rageheart

plush tendon
#

rageheart still does some damage

#

its like a middle ground sort of

lusty grotto
#

there are better damage trinkets

plush tendon
#

for sure, there are better damage trinkets and there are better defense trinkets

lusty grotto
#

and dreadplates exists

plush tendon
#

but it does both

#

yea, Dplates is sick

south zealot
lusty grotto
#

so does dreadplates

south zealot
#

if your splintwr breaks

#

you are getting hit so hard

plush tendon
#

Im a fan of dplates, but people can also play what they like

#

S4 meme season

lusty grotto
#

whew

south zealot
lusty grotto
#

my vdh got astro fucked on vault

plush tendon
#

I only need a myth track belt

south zealot
#

its definitely not a bad trinket theres just like 5 that outclass it

plush tendon
#

and then mine is bis

#

granted I still only have a 489 cheat... but part of me just wants to drop cheat and use all-totem
