#

especially a team that can get stops in on specific times without fucking over the boss

crystal iris
#

I basically ran this but i split up 13 because they didnt know to LOS

#

and they facepulled the pack before 12 after I said to hug the wall bc we were skipping

#

other than that went pretty well, you think this is ok for 13s?

#

pull 12 was hard to gather too a cast went off and killed the healer, 4s stun followed by explosion

lusty grotto
#

thats not needed for a 13

#

at all

#

too much high risk

#

totally unneeded

#

i did this on my 13 (and this was 2-3 weeks ago)

#

more than enough

#

you optimize only for higher keys

#

13 aint it

#

15+ maybe

#

people are geared enough that you dont need to do those routes

#

as in, shit just dies fast

#

and you shouldnt risk wiping the group with risky pulls

#

the reason risky pulls are done is to make sure stuff dies optimally to save time

#

but if youre overgearing the key level, its unneeded

#

and at 520+, people overgear a 13... they are just not doing basic stuff like stops, kicks, and/or using defensives correctly if they cant time it

strong forum
#

Just don't die 36 times and the key is GG

#

Honestly this spec is kind of fun if I forget for a second it doesn’t have 5 aoe stops.

#

Unless they know to LoS I guess

cunning inlet
#

The basilisks chomp in Uld. Can that be ranged or los?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

it can be stopped

#

shockwave/fear helps

#

DO NOT KITE IT

#

you will get your melee killed or dps killed

#

because it fervents

cunning inlet
#

Ty

#

So it’s shockwave, fear, racial, defensive and hope for the best.

#

Noob questions but why does archon have prot warr as #2 as opposed to say bear or pally? I understand why vdh is #1 but what is prot war excelling at

crystal iris
crystal iris
#

damage aint bad either

pine lotus
crystal iris
#

not sure, I dont play bear. but usually were the tankiest against physical damage

#

so bear probably better at magic damage than us outside or reflect and spell block

proud dock
#

is there a place for the latest uptodate MDT routes? returning player, trying to remember general patterns

pallid quiver
#

That's probably the actual reason

#

All the tanks are in a pretty decent state overall

Some are just more decent than others

vdh

strong forum
#

i wouldnt call this a ranking

#

if 4 tanks are within "6 score" of each other

#

or this for a broader specturm of keys

#

the only take away from these lists is

#

vdh #1

#

rest is just

#

and i call mine, identity crisis

lusty grotto
#

they have a cd

proud dock
#

how many bullions are we posed to have atm? (for a recently made toon)

lusty grotto
#

3 without quest

#

3 buys

so 6

8 if you did the quest, which im sure you didn't since its a recently made toon

Don’t think I’ve DPsed all week

im not entirely sure

but cant really not mention him

pallid quiver
#

I was trying to keep it to people who I know have been active recently, particularly on the strim end, but I do agree on that

lusty grotto
#

hes been playing

#

cause he has runs

#

skipped last week though, understandable

#

fuck sanguine

Havent seen any streams

lusty grotto

hes probably doing vdh

minor forge
#

What trinket should I go for?
Have the council amirdrassil one and the bombs one from algethar
Playing very very casual

lusty grotto
#

neither of those are good

#

dreadplates, anvil or signet, all totem, manic grieftorch are good picks

#

dreadplates + all totem might be the easier to use bet
anvil/signet require stack management/uptime
manic grieftorch can grief you if you use it incorrectly as you cannot block or parry while casting it

#

farm BH for a treemouth for the best defensive trinket in the game

radiant mortar
#

can someone explain the stun rotation on third boss in ulda?

lusty grotto
#

he has 2 orbs, those are protections, you can remove them with your own shockwave and/or stormbolt (or by running him to puddles)

#

the third stun effect (via your own stuns or by puddles) will actually stun her, but will give her a damage amp

#

the goal of that boss is

#

to stun her ONLY when shes about to get 100% energy OR when shes about to kill someone with an aoe

#

you want to fully stun her as little as possible

#

more damage amps means her bleeds and knockback+aoe will hit harder by 10% 5% each stack, so limiting when youre fully stunning her is crucial especially in tyrannical

earnest cove
#

Damage amp is capped at 5 afaik

lusty grotto
#

i stand corrected

#

it is indeed 5%

lusty grotto
#

as a rule of thumb i always stun her above 80 energy and when shes about to do an aoe

#

unless... there's an emergency and someone is ridiculously low because a bleed is owning them

radiant mortar
#

Oh that explains a lot

#

I got told to stun him before every second stomp

lusty grotto
#

you do not want to run her over puddles continuously, that will wipe you relatively fast in tyrannical

#

yeah 2nd stomp is good, shes about 80 energy then

radiant mortar
#

so I was perma moving and throwing all I had at him

lusty grotto
#

watch her model

radiant mortar
#

so how do I do it then stormbolt, shockwave puddle?

lusty grotto
#

those 2 orbs are his 2 protections

radiant mortar
#

and then puddle puddle shield charge?

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt matter how you do it

#

you have options

#

i find it better to just leave stormbolt for the last hit

#

so i can stun her without walking him over shit

#

do not ever cast a stun right away before he gets the orbs back, you will double stun her

radiant mortar
#

Ok so it doesn't matter how I get rid of the protection

lusty grotto
#

and then you'll have 2 stacks back to back

radiant mortar
#

just stun him before second stomp

lusty grotto
#

sure, sometimes the group is healthy enough that i let her cast 2nd stomp

#

just watch his energy

#

and the health of the group

radiant mortar
#

👍 gotcha

lusty grotto
#

but usually 2nd stomps is good timing

#

since she will have high energy then

radiant mortar
#

and if I stun too often the dmg ramp gets too much correct?

#

does every stun count so even the ones that remove the protection?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

those do not count

#

only when she gets fully stunned

#

protection removal is safe

radiant mortar
#

alright thx

lusty grotto
#

on a high tyrannical you want to end the fight with about 3 to 4 full stuns

#

depending on dps

#

that's 20% damage since 5% each, so 4 stacks

#

or 15%

#

the less, the better obviously

#

should be 2-3 this week since fort

blazing condor
#

yeah ive shield charged on CD and sometimes stun him prematurely

violet ginkgo
#

Also Nim after you explain the same thing to me at least my life has been easier in the uldaman, just run him through 2 orb and then just casually DPS and wait then casting titanic > stormbolt ezpz.

i dont think tc being above SS would be very crazy for a BH tbh

i also think im wasting violent outburst on tc

using outbursts on tc can be better for overall dps but its probably always better to use outburst on ss

cuz food doesnt change, but our ilvl does

and the more primary stats you have, the bigger the % gains from secondary stats are compared to flat str

It now competes with high value damage nodes, especially their aoe nodes, and isn't as much of a gain AOE as it is ST. It would literally require every member of the party to be a high value target, including healer, for it to reliably be worth

Does the lack of any healing effect warrior while most other tanks can basically self sustain?

lusty grotto

no

mening he could do more damage if he wasnt

lusty grotto
#

you only drop from spells there, use more spell block

rigid hull

#

On top of that, some healers babysit because they don't know how to use their throughout tools well, so any damage becomes stress to push through. Kneejerk is it's not the case at that key level and you need to leverage defensives more, but

To lose my fear of big pulls, should I switch to the "I will never die" build?

ionic fern
#

What is a big pull?

#

Just go into dstance.

torn gulch
#

yea easing into big pulls you can dstance them at first

#

then get used to switch to bstance more and more

ionic fern
#

I'm usually in dstance when gathering like 5-6 packs.

#

After they are grouped you can swap back.

torn gulch
#

oh you're allowed to group them?

#

i'm not allowed

ionic fern
#

I'm always allowed to group them.

#

It's the DPS that die if they are mongs. 🙂

torn gulch
#

you have a dps dps the first pack while i am off to get the rest

#

die and write in chat "tank?"

ionic fern
#

If they die, they die.

#

Their fault.

unkempt hazel
#

is that the actual approach

ionic fern
#

That is my apporach at least.

unkempt hazel
#

kek

ionic fern
#

Join party, link the route.

#

If they go ham before the pull is gathered and die, that's on them.

unkempt hazel
#

just that I keep trying out tanking and almost always ppl die on big pulls

ionic fern
#

I'm like 95% sure most people don't even check the route.

unkempt hazel
#

and I cant tell if im the one at fault deadge

#

uh

#

not even big pulls tbf

#

like the 2-3 packs in hoi

ionic fern
#

Spend a few globals on each pack.
Charge->TC->Revenge -> Next pack.

unkempt hazel
#

the first 3, the 2nd and 3rd being like 2 mobs

ionic fern
#

I also take the AoE Heroic Throw in some places where i do giga pulls for easier snap aggro.

#

E.g Neltharus.

#

Or Brackenhide.

unkempt hazel
#

its not even aggro issue

#

just that ppl die to shit and casts

#

and if I shouldn't pull smth together

ionic fern
#

That's pull specific.

#

So i can't comment unless i know which pulls you mean.

#

But it's a fairly well known fact that the majority of people don't use their interrupt / defensives effectively.

unkempt hazel
#

for example the NO first pull, the big patrol + main thing

#

w/e its called

#

the objective guys

ionic fern
#

That should be a fairly straight forward pull.

#

Can be some bad RNG

#

But other than that it's healable/avoidable.

#

So, people bad.

How TF does crit do so much damage

#

And run without shockwave in pugs

ionic fern
#

Press buttons.

#

Do big pulls.

#

Profit.

crystal iris
#

I think there’s even a point where he drops SS and just TC and revenges on the lashers

crystal iris
lament musk
#

very rare i skip sslam

ionic fern
crystal iris
#

Sometimes I slow the videos down to like .75 to watch the spell queue and it looks like I’m pressing the same buttons

#

I barely get to press revenge bc SS and TC is always ready

#

lol crit you just answered me in the video - « because I’m a DPS player, idiot » 😂

#

First thought was that I’m using IP too much but I’m never too rage starved for revenge on big pulls

lament musk
crystal iris
#

Hey at least that wasn’t as prot lol

#

But I meant like even if I’m making small changes to the rotation, I’m not wildly off from what you’re doing in keys and I’m not hitting 3 mil on lashers or 5mil as arms and it feels like I’m doing the same thing

#

I’m like why is he doing an extra 2 mil lol

ionic fern
#

Could just be that he's hitting more enemies with bleeds etc.

#

I don't Arms tho, so no clue.

crystal iris
#

I guess 2x bloodborne helps and the 30s CDR on roar. But if I take that I’m for sure losing DPS to the pulls before and after vex

#

I mean even as prot

ionic fern
#

BB is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge on big pulls.

crystal iris
#

No shockwave and no disrupting shout seems insane to me

lament musk
#

you should play those 2 talents

crystal iris
#

Spell block i guess is fine to drop in AA if you can survive the storm mini boss Ig

lament musk
#

im just a dumb dps player in disguise when ive been playing pwar

crystal iris
#

Y’a i usually do unless it’s a farm key

ionic fern
#

Remember that you're a tank - DPS is not everything it's about.
You can do w/e talents in keys you are comfortable with, but if you're trying to improve/push, especially in pugs, you should still play stops.

crystal iris
#

I usually take everything I can to help the pug group

#

Speaking of helping the group, hunters in Nelth this week

#

What can I do

ionic fern
#

Pull as few of them as possible.

crystal iris
#

There’s no trick?

ionic fern
#

Not that i know of.

crystal iris
#

I have to pull at least 4

ionic fern
#

Don't pull 4 together then. 👀

crystal iris
#

Most likely 6 in the whole dungeon

ionic fern
#

Woah.

#

That's a lot of hunters.

crystal iris
#

I mean 2 manadstory before chains boss

ionic fern
#

I'm skipping most of them.

crystal iris
#

I pull the 2 near spawn otherwise no one can run back

ionic fern
crystal iris
#

There’s 2 in the two pulls after chains boss and

lament musk
#

yeah skip as many of them as poss

crystal iris

they're toxic af

crystal iris
#

I was like alright fk these guys

#

I’m ready for Tyr week now tho these keys are rough

#

Although both weeks I have a lot of keys where I just stand there and watch DPS dying

#

No wonder this arms warrior did no damage in your key

ionic fern
#

What are you pointing out there?

lament musk
#

im also trying to figure it out

jagged pier
#

bladestorm before the adds?

ionic fern
#

That's good...

crystal iris
#

I mean is it

ionic fern
#

You want priority DPS...

#

Not just random padding dps...

crystal iris
#

Adds need to die and bladestorm is hitting boss anyway

ionic fern
#

Adds die super fast in most cases.

lament musk
#

it's not thaaaat bad to pre bladestorm to stack hurricane if the adds die too fast

ionic fern
#

Or just get cleaved down.

lament musk
#

but i dont think thats what he was doing

crystal iris
#

Dude says « woah huge fan » and proceeds to get gapped by the tank

#

I’d be so embarrassed if I was DPsing as war and crit joined and blasted me by 40k

lament musk

I think 1min roar makes all the difference looks like it was up for every add phase

Famous words from him when i asked how to Fury: "Use CD's on CD as Fury".

You have ravager down as soon as you need to WW you’re almost garnered to overcap on big pulls with reck going

potent anvil

crystal iris
#

Ulduman first ya, AA first pull should be easy though

#

Your health bar should barely move

ionic fern
crystal iris
#

Usually we look at logs then say 1. More SS on Cd and 2. Wasted rage means press more IP

#

And the occasional “use défensives way more”

#

Press demo on cd sort of thing

#

Actually I have a question about rotation, when do I press execute on ST? Like do SS and TC need to be on CD or can I replace TC with it if I have enough rage

plush path
crystal iris
#

But you should also have near 100% uptime on block if you look at auras in details

#

Mine usually around 93-95 which is probably just due to gathering pulls and end of pulls if I let it drop

#

Look at wowhead rotation. Slam is top prio ahead of thunder clap

plush path
#

ill keep that in mind

#

also does this increase the heal done by fueled by violence?

Just experience and comfortability. Sometimes you can pop SW while grouping to help mitigate any damage since your rage gen isn't that good due to running around,but on that pull you might need SW for the bleeds.

vernal storm
oblique garnet
#

Easily doable

crystal iris
#

Do you guys usually use treemouths while gathering or SW and then treemouth later?

jagged pier
#

i use nither

crystal iris

I find I still get smacked sometimes while gathering with treemouth up

#

Especially first pull of nelth

crystal iris
jagged pier
#

i mean u literally ravager a pack

#

throw another leap to a 3rd if needs be

#

first pull of nethls your out of range of the first 2 mobs for ages

#

and the second pack doesnt hit that hard u can also just leap to the pack behind them etc

#

i dont run max dps at all btw

solemn wolf

Do we count running Plates/Rageheart as running defensive trinkets :D?

blazing condor

#

plates could be argued its a more well-rounded trink

#

you wouldnt run rageheart for dps though

pallid quiver

Whether they follow that signal is a different question

It's like when a Pala or DK sets up Cons/DND and then stands in it

Shield charge is nice though, you can still get 100% block uptime without it though right? even if you don’t take bolster

Well on keys where I’m afraid of dying in an embarassing way, I’ll run my s3 cheat death. So I gimp my damage with big loss of main stat. Wondering if BSV with an offensive trinket is more damage than shield charge build with my cheat death. I’ll sim it ig

corrected me on what now? i think i was still like half asleep; i only remember him saying IV had a 30s CD when I brought that up and Indom

as if something having a cd makes it suddenly not a tool to sustain yourself

#

the same logic just adjusted with variables makes it so death strike isn't a self-sustain tool because it's limited by runic power and isn't always available

at any rate It's really hard to get people to understand how much Indom does

violet ginkgo
# crystal iris What’s the verdict

I think.. Since we are the type of tank who is tanking smooth damage, not like Blood DK or DH who yoyo the HP and heal back, if we dropped below 30% really2 fast without healer can back it up then there must be something wrong with our defensive CD management. I guess rather than BSV or cheat death we can fix our management first.

Plus I think cheat death or BSV is for really2 high key in M+? That is if we can get picked over VDH.

Yeah, my point is that it will be of use to them, but it won't actually be the best option and hurts them otherwise, so it can be a trap talent point if you're trying to learn

That's my biggest concern with it in that they will be able to look at it technically saving their life, making them not look into if there was something else to be done
