Fracture Crystals happen on 75 50 and 25

#

high keys dps know when to push

#

you ideally want to push him AFTER or BEFORE he spawns orbs

#

so that either you have time to move the dragon

#

or you dont deal with them at all

crystal iris
#

dont you push when orbs come out to not die?

lusty grotto
#

fracture and orbs both put dragon strike back on the sspell queue

#

why

#

orbs on a crystal = bad

#

for melee at least

#

and for you as a tank

crystal iris
#

when im DPS I always use CDs on crystals to make sure we can get them down

lusty grotto
#

sure thats fine

#

im not talking about dpsing the crystals

#

im talking about pushing the boss

#

crystals spawn at 75 50 and 25

#

that's the bosses health

#

you will die only if you dont get hardened crystal down first

#

its the one that pulses the most damage

#

damage drops pretty sharply after that ones down

#

and, well, if they go off of course

crystal iris
#

ya

#

I mean pushing is using CDs no?

lusty grotto
#

not really?

#

i can be, but not really

#

you just dont want 2 things happening at the same time so you stagger it

#

it highly depends on your dps

#

cooldowns or not

crystal iris
#

i agree though

lusty grotto
#

the biggest thing is to not have unleashed destruction happen at the same time as crystals

crystal iris
#

that you dont want orbs

#

ya

lusty grotto
#

orbs arent as important but its a good metric to go by

south zealot
#

holding cds and holding dps is different

crystal iris
#

all totem is cool

#

fair point

#

totem healing is nothing tho

south zealot
#

the healing it does is irrelevant yeah

#

it gives you armor/mainstat and haste on procs

#

which are much better than the ice proc

crystal iris
#

the uptime seems low

south zealot
#

yeah it rotates between 4 stances

#

the 2 good buffs only last like 15s i think

crystal iris
south zealot
#

the fire one does a dot

crystal iris
#

i mean all the uptimes seem low

south zealot
#

yeah bc each one individually is like 15 seconds every 2 minutes

crystal iris
#

makes sense then

south zealot
#

fire doesnt give you a buff i dont think

crystal iris
#

ya cant see it

#

i miss shield charge

#

but BSV saved my ass

#

some mob hit me with a 10 or 15s sleep

#

during a double pull on the ring

#

and i fkn lived

lusty grotto
rigid hull
crystal iris
rigid hull
#

bro pls.....

lusty grotto
#

myth chest

#

is always a win unless you have it

rigid hull
#

what about 4 set

#

i can get legs again

crystal iris
#

you catalyse it...

rigid hull
#

ye ofc

#

fuck man im gonna lose haste

#

💀

rigid yew
#

Signet was my #1 damage on Heroic Raz today

lusty grotto
#

makes sense

#

its a 5+ min fight

lusty grotto
#

catalyst chest?

quaint wind
#

So i just did an azure vault 15... and spell reflect didn't work for dmg on boss's. at least details didn't catch its dmg

rigid hull
lusty grotto
#

its a deflect

#

you just dont take any

quaint wind
#

huh?

#

since when

lusty grotto
#

you do not

#

since early s1

rigid hull
ionic fern
#

Je, on that boss i don't think you ever REFLECTED. You Deflected it.

quaint wind
#

thats not true, last week even i was spell reflecting dragon strike and leymor for millions

lusty grotto
#

no

#

you werent

#

whatever is reporting that damage to you, is wrong

quaint wind
#

details was, what about leymor infused strike?

#

is that a deflect also?

lusty grotto
#

also a deflect

#

details shouldnt be reporting any damage

quaint wind
#

what bosses do get spell reflected?

lusty grotto
#

you still need to use SR

ionic fern
#

There's a pin in the..pins.

lusty grotto
#

we have a sheet

lusty grotto
#

a deflect is a reflect

#

its just not damaging the source

#

it makes you take 0 damage

#

so its still a huge pro

ionic fern
#

Note the "Deflect" under Notes for both Leymor and Umber.

crystal iris
#

bit DS value 🙂

lusty grotto
#

that means nothing

crystal iris
#

mhm

lusty grotto
#

it counts every invidual kick

#

how many casts was that?

quaint wind
#

well im a touch confused but sounds good ill go off this

crystal iris
lusty grotto
#

3 casts probably

#

how close am i

#

load up the log

crystal iris
#

no way, almost every pack in storm boss area of nokkud, every pack in third boss area

#

an adds on last boss

#

will it tell you?

lusty grotto
#

so 3 casts

#

bro if you get 3 mob casts

#

in 1 cast of disrupting

#

it counts 3

#

but you still casted disrupting ONCE

crystal iris
#

yes

#

but thats 3 less casts going off

lusty grotto
#

🤷

#

3 casts of disrupting is not DS value

crystal iris
#

13 kicks is tho

#

we depleted anyway

ionic fern
#

Okay, let me break it down to you.
While the interrupting of DS is nice, the main value of DS is actualy helping you GROUP the mobs properly.
Nokhud / RLP are both extremely good examples of this.

crystal iris
#

last boss the adds went wild

#

I say to CC the far one an we fight on other side

lusty grotto
#

honestly i tell my buds to kick fars

#

move to mid

crystal iris
#

the far add gets cc, but the next to far add kets kicked and aggrod healer and runs out

lusty grotto
#

and i get the 2 closest with DS

#

and then just use stops

crystal iris
#

meanwhile noone is helping with the 2 adds I have

ionic fern
#

1)no buds;
2)No comms;

#

DS the pat in Nokhud, grab other pack.

lusty grotto
#

pugs too

ionic fern
#

2-3 packs ggwp.

lusty grotto
#

idk i use DS for the corruptors to chain them

crystal iris
#

all you need to know

lusty grotto
#

if anything

ionic fern
#

Yes, hense "grouping".

lusty grotto
#

im not saying DS is bad mwahi i use it lol

lusty grotto
#

im just saying 3 casts isnt DS value, its semantics

ionic fern
#

I'm /// cause people keep shitting on it for no reason.
It's not amazing, but it's by no means that BAD of a talent choice if you actually use it properly and deliberately.

lusty grotto
#

shit i was far off

lusty grotto
#

ok 8 casts IS DS value

crystal iris
#

I mean the entier first area you dont needd

lusty grotto
#

or the 2nd

ionic fern
#

2nd and 3rd you can use it almost on CD and get something.

crystal iris
#

yup

lusty grotto
#

its just 3rd and last boss

ionic fern
#

That elemental boy area as well.

#

Or are we thinking about 2 different dungeons now.

lusty grotto
#

everything there you can stop

#

with shockwave/fear

#

grouping isnt required

crystal iris
#

all nokuud

lusty grotto
#

of course

crystal iris
#

theres a lot of casts in the storm area

ionic fern
#

Jeah, there it's just the value of it interrupting.

lusty grotto
#

but shit is grouped up anyway in the storm area

ionic fern
#

Definitely not for grouping there, agreed.

crystal iris
#

and theres the 6s silence too

lusty grotto
#

theres not a lot

#

theres 2

#

mini boss

#

and tempest

#

thats it

#

the rest dont really matter

crystal iris
#

which is nicer then seeing them instantly all recast after shout

lusty grotto
#

also the roamer stormcast

crystal iris
#

mini boss, tempest, surges and the other add

ionic fern
#

Surges you aim to reflect.

#

It pretty much one shots the add.

lusty grotto
#

Stormcallers, Tempest

#

and Thunderstrike

#

thats it

crystal iris
#

I think i was accidentally reflecting right on pull

south zealot
#

reflecting surge is so sick for overall

#

the add twoshots it self when it casts

#

even if u dont reflecf

#

so its like turbo pad but fuck it

crystal iris
#

overall SR damage in there is nutty

#

casual 47 mil

#

and thats without last boss

rigid yew
#

on the last boss, I call for 2 adds on the other side to be CC'ed. sometimes 1 gets broke but cc is a must. never failed a nok key with using cc. have failed almost all that didn't cc at least 1 add

lusty grotto
#

you cant take that long on high tyrannical

#

you gotta send all 4

crystal iris
#

so nim explain the rageheart pic

lusty grotto
#

ccing works on vault keys

#

but not on high keys

crystal iris
#

am I doing high keys yet?

lusty grotto
#

tank in AV i just did with my pally

crystal iris
#

how did that feel

lusty grotto
#

he has s3 talents

#

and rageheart 🙂

crystal iris
#

id feel naked without SR in there lol

lusty grotto
#

LOL

ionic fern
#

I haven't seen a pug warrior in a while. 😦

lusty grotto
#

i dont think he reflected much

#

he got dragon stricken a few times and took full damage so idk

rigid yew
#

yes but if you are doing high keys you have comms which means you can stop/kick properly. lower keys no much comms. im talking 12 key range

crystal iris
#

Am I doing high keys yet

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

yeah ccing is fine in 12s

#

but that pulse

#

is hard to keep up for healers

crystal iris
#

Y’a

lusty grotto
#

so you want to get that phase done as fast as possible

crystal iris
#

Divine toll is nice for that phase

ionic fern
#

Interrupt the far left one;
Knock the 2 on the other side with druid/evoker;
Disrupting shout all 4 to the middle.

rigid yew
#

highest ive done is 14
all I know is if there isn't cc you can kiss the key goodbye. just my experience. people always die from missed kicks cause they spam cast 24/7

ionic fern
#

That's how my last one went.

lusty grotto
#

14 on tyrannical?

crystal iris
#

Same just now

lusty grotto
#

or fort?

#

theres a difference

#

a 15% more damage difference on top of key level

crystal iris
#

We had 1 cc but I kicked the left one and was getting aggro on those 2 when the mid right add ran out to fkn narnia to try killing the healer

lusty grotto
#

i mean if your healer can keep up, its fine

ionic fern
#

That's also a really strong lust point.

rigid yew
#

tyrannical
im not saying its optimal. just any time there's 0 cc we wipe

ionic fern
#

You kill the boss with reflect after that phase anyways.

lusty grotto
#

its always a lust point for sure

crystal iris
#

My taunt shouldn’t have been on CD but was, so I ran to get the add and the other chain casted on DPS

crystal iris
#

Came back to DS them and charged back to the far add but no kick

crystal iris
#

I was going back and forth between the far add and the 2 grouped trying to kick and stun but the far one would not come in

lusty grotto
#

heroic leap resets taunt cd

#

is what mwahi means

crystal iris
#

Oh fk

#

I forgot about that tech damn

ionic fern
crystal iris
#

So niche

ionic fern
#

It's a weird interaction, indeed.

lusty grotto
#

i dont think you can call it a tech

ionic fern
#

Idk who came up with "YOuknow what..let the warrior leap and be able to taunt again".

lusty grotto
#

i

south zealot
lusty grotto
#

yeah idk

south zealot
#

wtf lol

lusty grotto
#

choco

#

say it aint so

south zealot
#

what

ionic fern
#

Did you

#

Not

#

Know?

lusty grotto
south zealot
#

nobody knows that

lusty grotto
#

alright alright

#

choco trolling

rigid hull
lusty grotto
#

i see how it is

crystal iris
#

Nobody thinks to use that

south zealot
#

theres no way thats a common piece of information

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

OKAY you guys

crystal iris
#

When you’ve got 3 chain casting adds haha

lusty grotto
#

its like mwahi says

ionic fern
lusty grotto
#

who the fuck came up with that

#

but it do be like that

south zealot
#

is that actually the tooltip

ionic fern
#

Yes.

south zealot
#

or ddid u edit it

#

thats insane

lusty grotto
#

just imagine the warrior class dev

crystal iris
south zealot
#

ive never once thought to read it lol

lusty grotto
#

"hey what do we uhhh.."

#

"put a taunt reset on heroic leap"

#

sips coffee

crystal iris
#

I mean it makes sense

#

In like a classic tank sense

ionic fern
#

I'm going to say that they have probably forgotten about it themselves as well seeing how dumb of a interaction it is.

lusty grotto
#

lmao

crystal iris
#

Taunt a mob, leap, taunt another mob. Tank both mobs

lusty grotto
#

i wouldnt doubt it

crystal iris
#

Enjoy the peaceful grass outside silver moon

#

Or wtv ppl did in classic

south zealot
#

i really want warrior to be like

#

unplayably bad

#

and then they remove that taunt reset

crystal iris
#

Nono this is nice

south zealot
#

would be the funniest thing ever

ionic fern
#

Do you use the /Taunt macro?

median tulip
#

I have actually deliberately used the heroic leap/taunt interaction. Like, once, but still...

ionic fern
#

You NEED to have a taunt infront of Taunt.
e.g:
/say OI CUNT;
/cast Taunt

#

For maximum RP points.

crystal iris
#

Lol

#

Why can’t I react to messages in here

#

Won’t let me

ionic fern
#

I know.

crystal iris
#

Mhm

#

Duru new admin

Man, that's too corny.

Ive got enough buttons to press lol

lusty grotto
#

of course

ionic fern
#

Jeah, i do a /readycheck and a pull timer before every pack in m+.

lusty grotto
#

only the true gamers do that

lusty grotto
#

the worst one is typing /cast Thunderclap

radiant mortar
#

/cast Shield Slam

#

/cast Thunderclap

lusty grotto
#

well yea

radiant mortar
#

thats how I play

rigid yew
#

/cast Melee

lusty grotto
#

i cant imagine german players doing it

ionic fern
#

In SL i had a RP'er in my weekly 20 key.
It was the weirdest thing ever.
He had macros for for all the fancy spells and was typing SOOOO much between the packs/before the packs.
Dude had like a full backstory for most of the dungeon.

lusty grotto
#

they must be gods

ionic fern
#

It was also freaking hilarious and refreshing.

lusty grotto
#

Nice I can feeld the weapon alrdy

ionic fern
#

I'm gonna get Puzzlebox from my vault.

blazing condor
#

i like puzzles

boreal haven
#

I hate Puzzlebox.
Also i hate Dragonriding.
dont @me.

blazing condor
#

@me garms

jagged pier
#

@me

blazing condor
#

luckily you dont have to do anything with either of those things

ionic fern
#

I want puzzle just for fury, apparently it's good.

jagged pier
#

yer its mastery

ionic fern
#

On that note, i DPS'ed a 10 HOI yesterday and got meleed to death on last boss.

blazing condor
#

bonk

jagged pier
ionic fern
#

When i told the guardian tank to be in melee range he just went "??? I WAS??"

jagged pier
blazing condor
#

that boss is icky tbf

#

gotta move for the puddles that are everywhere

ionic fern
#

Sure, but when i get meleed 3 times + the tank mechanic on first phase and then once we get back get meleed again, i'm going to count that as a "tank issue".

#

I did get big reflect value from it tho.

blazing condor
#

pog

proud silo
#

i watched our healer get bonked once with the tank in range, boss can be kinda silly

blazing condor
#

i get why they design bosses like that

#

but i dont like that bosses are designed like that

#

or at least bosses that were like mueh'zala / pi g boss from WM where everyone just gets bonked cus no one was in melee

rigid hull
#

ok quick in and out for diurna ring

radiant mortar
#

last boss hoi is just dumb, why knock the tank back if you just go to bonk melees after

jagged pier
#

because u taunt the knockback

#

so he doesnt bonk

radiant mortar
#

sure but I still keep my point of it being badly designd. Its not fun

jagged pier
#

its just bliz trying a new mechanic

radiant mortar
#

also just to make sure I always SR the beam never the cast before right?

blazing condor
#

yea

#

you get knocked back then reflect

#

or whatever it is

#

but the beam yes

jagged pier
#

deluge

ionic fern
#

And then reflect buggs out.

#

And you die.

jagged pier
ionic fern
#

Was Cata any good?

jagged pier
#

its when the game got 'hard'

#

but

#

your are behind mwahi

#

so no point

ionic fern
#

Wdym?

jagged pier
#

classic andies

#

literally u not bis geared

#

u not getting in

ionic fern
#

I'm not even leveled.

radiant mortar
#

cata was when I satrted my pwar arc

ionic fern
#

Think my classic char is like..10.

radiant mortar
jagged pier
#

also by 'hard' i mean u actually need to inturpt

ionic fern
#

Damn.

#

That's too much for me.

jagged pier
#

just lvl in SoD

radiant mortar
ionic fern
#

Je, my SoD character is also lvl 10.

jagged pier
#

yer

blazing condor
#

but im only 54

jagged pier
#

but u get xp increase in sod

ionic fern
#

True.

blazing condor
#

but leveling in the new compared to vanilla

#

prot warr pumps

ionic fern
#

Since there's no prot updates in TWW i need to fill my time with something.

blazing condor
#

but in end game we're also solo c tier and the "worst"

ionic fern
jagged pier
#

touch grass?

blazing condor
#

can't win in any version of the game

jagged pier
#

ride motorcycle?

blazing condor
#

no grass in estonia

ionic fern
#

Been doing that a ton.

#

But i mean, during evenings.

#

A few hours.

#

Need filling.

jagged pier
#

just

ionic fern
#

True.

#

I got no clue how i passed my technical inspection yesterday for my motorcycle.

#

The rear tire has almost no thread left.

ionic fern
jagged pier
#

well try out both

#

see how u feel

#

🤷

ionic fern
#

Je, i was planning to lvl a priest in sod.

jagged pier
#

just member if u play prot in cata

ionic fern
#

Just cause i don't have that at max lvl.

jagged pier
#

u have to rend before u TC

ionic fern
#

That's a hard pass.

jagged pier
blazing condor
#

:T

#

you also play with Cleave

#

Revenge got a CD

#

and only hits one mob

ionic fern
#

That sounds really offputting, ngl.

blazing condor
#

idk i find it pretty enjoyable

radiant mortar
#

aoe wasnt a big thing in old wow

blazing condor
#

the only thing i dont really like is that you use Battle Shout in your rotation

#

cus it grants rage

ionic fern
#

And Cata always seemed kinda interesting with the story.

blazing condor
#

Im biased because cata was my first expansion but i like it

radiant mortar
#

Story?

blazing condor
#

got some fun dungeons

#

raids are pretty good

rigid hull
#

NO Ring drop sadge

#

still using a champion ring

radiant mortar
blazing condor
#

Im always top dps as prot in dungeons

#

we slap

radiant mortar
#

Raids are amazing in Cata

#

no sleeper there

blazing condor
#

also many good QOL things added

#

but then again its "worse" QOL compared to retail

radiant mortar
#

two talent spec pog

#

with seperate gold costs to resepc

#

respec cost capped

#

all good

blazing condor
#

i remember the whole reforge azerite shenanigans in BFA

#

with infinitely scaling costs

radiant mortar
#

We dont talk about BFA

#

almost as bad as SL

rigid hull
#

is bfa the worst one?

blazing condor
#

nah

#

SL is the worst

#

bfa was fine imo

radiant mortar
#

SL is in my opinion

blazing condor
#

i liked the world in BFA

#

some good additions

#

just some systems that were kinda shit

ionic fern
#

BFA was real chill.

#

SL was..ugh.

#

Like..you thought BFA was bad when it was current.

radiant mortar
#

MoP > WoD > Cata > DF > Legion >> BfA >>>> SL

ionic fern
#

But then SL came and you were like "Damn..BFA was actually solid".

radiant mortar
#

I would say thats my list

blazing condor
#

its hard because i liked SL because i had the most fun with my guild / pushed the best with keys / had the best logs

#

etc

#

but objectively it was just ass

jagged pier
#

Legion> MOP> vanilla> BC > WRATH > WoD > BFA > DF> SL

#

actually i judged bfa too hardly

#

Legion> MOP> vanilla> BFA > BC > WRATH > WoD > DF> SL

blazing condor
#

i cant even make a tier list

#

idk what i think

#

thanks for coming to my ted talk

radiant mortar
#

I was to young to really play vanilla, bc and wrath

jagged pier
#

same but i still had fun playing them

radiant mortar
#

but WoD that low is a tragedy

#

ok true I had fun with them

ionic fern
radiant mortar
#

but cant rank them

ionic fern
#

I thought you're the same age as me.

#

Roughly.

jagged pier
#

Runescape the OG "WoW Killer"

blazing condor
#

osrs on top though tbh

ionic fern
#

It's still a subscription based service .

#

Which is wild to me.

blazing condor
#

honestly

#

they very much could make it F2p and have a huge influx of new players

#

but thats just not enough money

ionic fern
#

Jep.

radiant mortar
#

as long as people like us are playing and paying they wont stop

ionic fern
#

They are going to be living off of people like me, teaching their child to play WoW.

#

For generations to come.

Hey, as long as they enjoy it.

#

Mine's currently on a "Minecraft" and "Pokemon" train.

So i'm kinda stuck there.

blazing condor

#

i did enjoy it as a kid

#

killing rats in Varrock sewers

jagged pier
#

well mining and herb is kinda like the gather part of minecraft

blazing condor
#

remember to teach your kids that emulating nintendo games is morally correct

#

not that i think the kids of today would like to play GBA pokemon games

ionic fern
#

Duuuuude.

I recently found those old, Lays Pokemon Tazos.

#

I had a huge collection of thoes.

#

And gave it to her.
Most excited ever.

#

Idk if you guys had them.

blazing condor
#

nope

#

oh yea

ionic fern

Some stuff like this.

blazing condor
#

we did have the things

#

just not the chips

ionic fern
#

You got from Lays.

jagged pier
#

Yer i had them

blazing condor

Etc

blazing condor

Does avoidance have any real value for prot?

blazing condor
#

there's always value in having more stats

#

but not exactly pivotal for our spec

#

you take a bit less damage

I've lowkey gone through some of thoes "old-stuff" markets to see if i can find these.

#

But NOWHERE.

tacit haven
#

Ok so myth track belt over hero track with avoidance then?

blazing condor
#

yes

#

strength is way better than avoidance

tacit haven
#

Thanks

jagged pier
#

and heart gold soul silver

#

even tho now they coming to switch

blazing condor
#

i still have my OG green emerald / leaf green GBA cartridges somewhere

jagged pier
#

but have the ds cartridges and 2 working pokewalkers

#

so thats cool

blazing condor
#

i think i tossed my pokewalker out

#

back in the day

jagged pier
#

i have my firered

#

but i never got the other

wish i had now

blazing condor
#

me and my brother would always get different games

#

so i got SS he got HG

#

Ruby / sapphire etc

jagged pier
#

kinda the same but we didnt really do gen 3

#

then i was on my own from then on

blazing condor
#

i stopped playing after gen 5

#

didnt even finish my White i think

radiant mortar
#

I think the last I played was with the fox starter

blazing condor
#

thats pokemon X and Y i think

jagged pier
#

the only scary thing is for those GBC games i have to change the batteries

#

Little late to the party here but I smelled OSRS in the chat and remembered. I logged back in recently to see where it was at.

#

I'm really grateful that RS doesn't have a /played feature.

blazing condor
#

pretty big acc tbh

#

even though thats actually RS3 not OSRS 🤓 ☝️

It is. But the character was made before RS3 & OSRS 😁

holy shit I'm looking at some prot logs and I stumbled upon a prot log for a 16 HOI where tank has around 39% SB uptime

#

and it was timed

sounds about right

key was timed that's the most important thing

after all

ultra defensive build as well
100% DS double defensive trinkets battle scarred veteran

fully embracing his role as a tank

jagged pier
#

well hes not

#

because hes not mitigating the damage he should be

jagged pier
#

all that shows is score isnt everthing

#

and if u have a good tema around u, you still dont have to play correctly

torn gulch

and the irony is that it doesn't look like healer had to heal him that much either

#

very strange log

Quick Q on bullion prio as M+ player only. If I have trash trinkets (Grapnel and SBD) and trash rings (both S3 items), but 4 bullions burning a hole in my pocket, what's the prio? Do I go for BIS rings, or Anvil and Dread? Sim is suggesting a mix with Anvil and Diurna ring for max DPS, but still sub-500 ilvl so looking for the most impact choices. FYI I already have Gholak with first bullions.

torn gulch
#

what is your shield? (ignore this)

jagged pier
#

no u dont buy a shield

#

u can get that from vault far easier

errant widget
#

shield is HC but I can also craft if needed

jagged pier
#

if u arent willing to pug hc raids then just get trinkets imo

#

or fire ring and plates

#

and then hope u get treemouth

#

at some point

#

but looks like we will keep getting bulloons anyway

#

so just buy what u want

#

🤷

errant widget

❤️

torn gulch
#

we get 5 bullions in the next 3 weeks

errant widget
#

thanks!

torn gulch
#

if i am not mistaken

jagged pier

yer but i mean it looks like we will just keep getting them until end of season

so it really doesnt matter what u get now

zealous goblet
#

Fellas if I thunderclap and revenge then heroic leap into the next mob and my friend rips on the pack i leaped away from, is that my bad? Is that not enough threat to begin a decent sized pull?

jagged pier
#

i mean idealy as a dps they would wait for everything to be stacked

#

🤷

#

but hard to tell if hes just dotting

#

thats on u

#

if hes full on bursting thats on him

zealous goblet
#

That sounds a little loaded i just mean how much time should i spend per pack before charging to next

#

And idk he's enh shaman i don't know what he does i barely know what my class does

jagged pier
#

well if your gathering a lot of packs not much time

#

🤷

zealous goblet
#

Humm. Tricky situation

radiant mortar
#

also depends on class, rogues and hunter can help keep aggro

#

shadows can start dotting and fade

#

paladins like to insta burst and fall over, just ignore those

zealous goblet
#

Enhance shaman

radiant mortar
#

Never played with a bad Enhance shaman tbh

#

they are so niche that all I know are top gamers

ionic fern
#

I honestly don't spend as much time on a pack if i'm grouping.

Take first pull of NL on left side.
From the first 2 mobs, I Charge the left one, SS it, taunt + heroic throw right mob
Leap->Thunder Clap the 3 guys + AoE Heroic throw next pack
Charge the pat.

radiant mortar
#

wait how do I aoe heroic throw?

#

you mean every one of them once right?

ionic fern
#

It's a talent.

#

I usually take it in NL / Brackenhide.

Let’s enjoy this moment before Nim appears and tells us it’s « fine but you don’t get value from it » or something 😅

frosty mango
#

Last time we talked about titanic throw people got banned

#

It’s almost as polarizing as disrupting shout

jagged pier
#

i dont think anyone has said titanic throw doesnt give value

radiant mortar
jagged pier
#

but value is literally a subjective thing

radiant mortar
jagged pier
#

i see no value in disrutping shout outside of actual group keys where its used correctly 99% of u will disagree, but yet no one manged to provide me evidence of it being the god thing that ppl say it is

#

and they just show proof that they are under utilising their other cc because they have disrupting shout

#

thats all thats ever been shown to me

radiant mortar
#

It feels good and helpful there

jagged pier
#

exactly a reason too run it

#

because it enables the boss

#

well depending on group if u have a dk or shaman or druid u might as well not take it as they can stack adds

toxic pewter
#

yeah the amount of people not getting value out of disrupting shout is staggering

radiant mortar
#

I got better at using my stops on dif tagrets so I dont "need" it as much anymore for other keys. But it is also okayish for RLP

jagged pier
#

but all ppl say it, 'its great in pugs' then link logs that show they could have used everything else instead of disrupting shout and have lost no value

radiant mortar
#

just hit them with my profile msg

jagged pier
#

no someone did it from their perspective

#

linked a log to show how good disrupting was

#

in that log they didnt intim shout once

#

which would have covered all of the intuprts pretty much

#

then linked another where they did intim shout

#

but then they didnt disrutping at all to intuprt

#

ever tho that had it talented

#

so literally wasted talent

#

🤷

radiant mortar
#

love to hear that

frosty mango
#

Disrupting is great in nokhud if you use it frequently because you can get max disrupts and still get use from intim, imo you don’t need it anywhere else

radiant mortar
#

I think if I had to I would also say RLP is a good dungeon for it

frosty mango
#

There are times in nokhud where you can get 5 interrupts with 1 disrupt and still catch 3+ with intim and there’s minimal overlap with others, mainly storm boss area and those fucking ape shitting birds

radiant mortar
#

a lof of casters in there

toxic pewter
#

I just find the ability to be so awkward to use that i prefer not to run it

radiant mortar
#

the radius is just so low

#

should be way bigger

frosty mango
#

Everywhere else imo you’re not getting max value out of it without some big brain plays

#

It’s 14 yards that’s pretty big

toxic pewter
#

All i know is in tww it will fail in comparison to gorefiends

#

15 sec longer cd but it will pull all mobs to you and silence them and easily accessible

radiant mortar
#

Gorefiend is such a good group up spell

#

DK would be fun if they had more mobility

frosty mango
radiant mortar
#

but I just like the class fantasy of pwar so much

frosty mango
#

That’s like saying “man cars are so good for driving” 😑

radiant mortar
#

I prefer trains

#

dont need to do it myself and can sleep

#

feels like fast traveling

radiant mortar
#

like give us the same option even if it isnt the same spell

frosty mango
toxic pewter
#

honestly sounds like a copout but they really should just turn it into an aoe silence isntead of interrupt

radiant mortar
#

dhs have gorefiend???

frosty mango
toxic pewter
#

next xpac bdk will all have gorefiends and it will have a 1.5 min cd and it will silence all targets it grips

radiant mortar
#

chains

#

but dhs wasnt the point

#

we were comparing dks and pwars

frosty mango
#

Only demon hunters get cool utility from other classes

#

We’re warriors therefore we don’t get cool utility

#

Or any utility

We are meant to suffer

#

It makes us better

yeah brew is great

bear is suffering

frosty mango
#

Just give warrior lust and I can die happy

radiant mortar
#

no give me real utility

toxic pewter
#

yah but with the bdk new gorefiend next xpac and the state of vengeance, it seems blizz is sort of shifting toward all tanks having some sort of aoe silence/similar situation

waxen cradle
#

I would assume if I dont have a Mythic shield and I have one in my vault even one with shitty stats the play would be take the shield yeah ?

They never should have given vengeance 2 charges of all of their sigils.

zealous goblet
#

friendly reminder disrupting shout only works against what i can only imagine are autistic enemies because legit who would fumble casting a frostbolt over being yelled at besides the neurodivergent and abuse victims

#

just saying

#

so you're actually a piece of shit if you use dissrupting shout

speaking of neurodivergent

why does my drake randomly screech like 6 times in a row sometimes

like a mount special?

do i need to get earmuffs for it?

mount special as in when you press space in tbc or some shit and your tiger would roar*

but my space bar is to take flight

so i don't know why it's roaring several times in a row

wat

frosty mango
#

Shouting can be very disruptive

zealous goblet

i cast slam

#

they stop shouting

easy

frosty mango

It’s ineffective

sorry this is retail

#

you dont cast slam

#

toxic pewter

only slammin we do is of the shield variety

plush path
#

hello generally speaking which one is more important?

#

the neck gives a good amount of haste and i have very low rn

strong forum
#

Splinter gets more value from +6ilvl
~10% bigger absorb
The neck gains hardly anything

#

So if you are willing to just grind the neck, the trinket goes a longer way

#

Recommend getting that

plush path
#

okey thank you ill get the trinket

rapid belfry
#

7ilvl on shield vs 20ilvl on wrist? I think wrist upgrade win, but not sure how important shield is for protwarr.

jagged pier
#

no

#

shield wins

#

thats more DR

plush tendon
#

always take shield

jagged pier
#

and as prot u should craft bracers anyway

plush tendon
#

wrists are prime crafted slot anyways

rapid belfry
#

ah ok, thanks for info

With into the fray, how much haste do we need to maintain 100% shield block uptime? Also is it bad to use both charges, and shield charge right away for 24 sec worth

#

48% base

lusty grotto

thats not a metric boatload

#

true idk why I thought it was more

and IP uptime doesnt matter

with 55% haste, 6100 haste

also mister nim said not to use ignore pain uptime metric

yeah that SB cd also is something you dont track cause it varies with ITF and lust

#

and wafting

didnt get a dps weapon in vault so I took sockets
