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
dont you push when orbs come out to not die?
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
when im DPS I always use CDs on crystals to make sure we can get them down
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
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
i agree though
the biggest thing is to not have unleashed destruction happen at the same time as crystals
orbs arent as important but its a good metric to go by
holding cds and holding dps is different
the healing it does is irrelevant yeah
it gives you armor/mainstat and haste on procs
which are much better than the ice proc
the uptime seems low
the fire one does a dot
i mean all the uptimes seem low
yeah bc each one individually is like 15 seconds every 2 minutes
makes sense then
fire doesnt give you a buff i dont think
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
oh boy
do my eyes deceive me?
bro pls.....
you catalyse it...
Signet was my #1 damage on Heroic Raz today
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
im so stupid wtf
you dont reflect damage
its a deflect
you just dont take any
ofc this is what u meant im so stupid
Je, on that boss i don't think you ever REFLECTED. You Deflected it.
thats not true, last week even i was spell reflecting dragon strike and leymor for millions
what bosses do get spell reflected?
you still need to use SR
There's a pin in the..pins.
we have a sheet
a deflect is a reflect
its just not damaging the source
it makes you take 0 damage
so its still a huge pro
that means nothing
mhm
well im a touch confused but sounds good ill go off this
13... casts that it interrupted 🙂
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?
so 3 casts
bro if you get 3 mob casts
in 1 cast of disrupting
it counts 3
but you still casted disrupting ONCE
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.
the far add gets cc, but the next to far add kets kicked and aggrod healer and runs out
meanwhile noone is helping with the 2 adds I have
pugs too
2-3 packs ggwp.
idk i use DS for the corruptors to chain them
all you need to know
if anything
Yes, hense "grouping".
im not saying DS is bad mwahi i use it lol
im just saying 3 casts isnt DS value, its semantics
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.
shit i was far off
ok 8 casts IS DS value
I mean the entier first area you dont needd
or the 2nd
2nd and 3rd you can use it almost on CD and get something.
yup
its just 3rd and last boss
That elemental boy area as well.
Or are we thinking about 2 different dungeons now.

all nokuud
of course
theres a lot of casts in the storm area
Jeah, there it's just the value of it interrupting.
but shit is grouped up anyway in the storm area
Definitely not for grouping there, agreed.
and theres the 6s silence too
theres not a lot
theres 2
mini boss
and tempest
thats it
the rest dont really matter
which is nicer then seeing them instantly all recast after shout
also the roamer stormcast
mini boss, tempest, surges and the other add
I think i was accidentally reflecting right on pull
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
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
so nim explain the rageheart pic
am I doing high keys yet?
tank in AV i just did with my pally
how did that feel
id feel naked without SR in there lol
LOL
I haven't seen a pug warrior in a while. 😦
i dont think he reflected much
he got dragon stricken a few times and took full damage so idk
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
Am I doing high keys yet
Even in a 15 tyrannical it's spicy.
Y’a
so you want to get that phase done as fast as possible
Divine toll is nice for that phase
Interrupt the far left one;
Knock the 2 on the other side with druid/evoker;
Disrupting shout all 4 to the middle.
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
That's how my last one went.
14 on tyrannical?
Same just now
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
i mean if your healer can keep up, its fine
That's also a really strong lust point.
tyrannical
im not saying its optimal. just any time there's 0 cc we wipe
You kill the boss with reflect after that phase anyways.
its always a lust point for sure
My taunt shouldn’t have been on CD but was, so I ran to get the add and the other chain casted on DPS
HEROIC LEAP.
Came back to DS them and charged back to the far add but no kick
That’s what I means
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

So niche
It's a weird interaction, indeed.
i dont think you can call it a tech
Idk who came up with "YOuknow what..let the warrior leap and be able to taunt again".
i
what
yeah idk
wtf lol
what
nobody knows that
BRUH
i see how it is
Nobody thinks to use that
theres no way thats a common piece of information

OKAY you guys
When you’ve got 3 chain casting adds haha
Just read the tooltip. 
is that actually the tooltip
Yes.
just imagine the warrior class dev
lol
ive never once thought to read it lol
I'm going to say that they have probably forgotten about it themselves as well seeing how dumb of a interaction it is.
lmao
Taunt a mob, leap, taunt another mob. Tank both mobs
i wouldnt doubt it
i really want warrior to be like
unplayably bad
and then they remove that taunt reset
Nono this is nice
would be the funniest thing ever
Do you use the /Taunt macro?
I have actually deliberately used the heroic leap/taunt interaction. Like, once, but still...
You NEED to have a taunt infront of Taunt.
e.g:
/say OI CUNT;
/cast Taunt
For maximum RP points.
I think mods and SF can do it as well.
There is actually a weakaura that has like 100 taunts and picks one at random

I need that.
Nothing to admin anyway Nimrat scares all the new players away

You can totally edit your own taunts in
Hey you
new players just cant handle the truth
mwahi moving on up to yo momma jokes
You know it. If i can't do it on Discord, i need to vent somewhere else.
And nothing matters and don’t min max anything bis doesn’t exist 😂
what
you guys play with macros? arnt you type casting?
Ive got enough buttons to press lol
of course
Jeah, i do a /readycheck and a pull timer before every pack in m+.
only the true gamers do that
the worst one is typing /cast Thunderclap
well yea
thats how I play
/cast Melee
i cant imagine german players doing it
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.
they must be gods
It was also freaking hilarious and refreshing.
LOL
/zauber SChildschlag
Haha that’s great
/zauber Donnerknall
A lot of them are really cringe
/zauber Ansturm
But there are some normal RPers that are jokes
Sarkareth <Anführer der Splitterflammen>
what was the boss that Rosch put
that fucking cracked me up
i think that was his name Rosch
who did what

is Splitterflammen genuinely the translation of "sundered flame"?
idk thats what wow has him as
i only got 2 college classes of german and ive forgotten everything except the alcohol related stuff
yes
check this
I have enough issues remembering which are de woorden and which het woorden
fuck i cant find it lmao
thats the german titel you get when you kill Maloriak "Schlächter von dummen, inkompetenten und enttäuschenden Lakaien"

sorry I dont speak dutch
I know kanker
lets just agree that they are gods if they do type-the-spells gaming
Nothing can Beat BfA Dungeonnames Like „Das Riesenflöz“,“Kronsteiganwesen“ or „Tiefenpfuhl“
Riesenflöz banger name
is that Underrot?
svensk more like german

socket in vault baby
same baby
No.
Nice I can feeld the weapon alrdy
i like puzzles
I hate Puzzlebox.
Also i hate Dragonriding.
dont @me.
@me 
@me
luckily you dont have to do anything with either of those things
I want puzzle just for fury, apparently it's good.
yer its mastery
bonk


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.

pog
i watched our healer get bonked once with the tank in range, boss can be kinda silly
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
ok quick in and out for diurna ring
last boss hoi is just dumb, why knock the tank back if you just go to bonk melees after
sure but I still keep my point of it being badly designd. Its not fun
its just bliz trying a new mechanic
also just to make sure I always SR the beam never the cast before right?
deluge

Was Cata any good?
Wdym?
I'm not even leveled.
cata was when I satrted my pwar arc
Think my classic char is like..10.
thats even further behind
wait we hadnt dhs back then how did we survive that?
Je, my SoD character is also lvl 10.
yer
but u get xp increase in sod
True.
Since there's no prot updates in TWW i need to fill my time with something.
but in end game we're also solo c tier and the "worst"

touch grass?
can't win in any version of the game
ride motorcycle?
no grass in estonia
True.
I got no clue how i passed my technical inspection yesterday for my motorcycle.
The rear tire has almost no thread left.

I can't sleep before midnight.
Je, i was planning to lvl a priest in sod.
just member if u play prot in cata
Just cause i don't have that at max lvl.
That's a hard pass.

idk i find it pretty enjoyable
aoe wasnt a big thing in old wow
the only thing i dont really like is that you use Battle Shout in your rotation
cus it grants rage
Je, but journey went Vanilla->TBC->Start of WOTLK->Legion
And Cata always seemed kinda interesting with the story.
Im biased because cata was my first expansion but i like it
Story?
also many good QOL things added
but then again its "worse" QOL compared to retail
two talent spec pog
with seperate gold costs to resepc
respec cost capped
all good
i remember the whole reforge azerite shenanigans in BFA
with infinitely scaling costs
is bfa the worst one?
SL is in my opinion
i liked the world in BFA
some good additions
just some systems that were kinda shit
BFA was real chill.
SL was..ugh.
Like..you thought BFA was bad when it was current.
MoP > WoD > Cata > DF > Legion >> BfA >>>> SL
But then SL came and you were like "Damn..BFA was actually solid".
I would say thats my list
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
Legion> MOP> vanilla> BC > WRATH > WoD > BFA > DF> SL
actually i judged bfa too hardly
Legion> MOP> vanilla> BFA > BC > WRATH > WoD > DF> SL
I was to young to really play vanilla, bc and wrath
same but i still had fun playing them
What.
but cant rank them
29
Almost.
future is now old man
old ass Mwahi
yall old
Aight, time to go pay someone a ton of money to look at my car, do a oil change and give 2 signatures.

does your birthyear start with a 2?
it does start with a 1
old people stuff
followed by three 9s
lucky
Agreed.
gonna get to 101 and live in three centuries
You're gonna live through all the WoW Classic expansions followed by all the WoW Classic Remix expansions.
Followed by all the "Remastered WoW Classic expansions".
i wonder how long wow will actually live
It's been dying since TBC.
Runescape the OG "WoW Killer"
osrs on top though tbh
Doubt.
It's still a subscription based service .
Which is wild to me.
honestly
they very much could make it F2p and have a huge influx of new players
but thats just not enough money
Jep.
as long as people like us are playing and paying they wont stop
They are going to be living off of people like me, teaching their child to play WoW.
For generations to come.
^^
yeah
Jep.
and u will ENJOY IT
F2p would be scarry because p2w shit isnt far of
yeah thats the payoff
Hey, as long as they enjoy it.
Mine's currently on a "Minecraft" and "Pokemon" train.
So i'm kinda stuck there.
i mean i would've enjoyed it
hell
i did enjoy it as a kid
killing rats in Varrock sewers
well mining and herb is kinda like the gather part of minecraft
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
Duuuuude.
mine will be playing them
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.
You got from Lays.
Yer i had them
we got it somehow else idrk
thats cool
if u teach them young i guess
They will be playing on this
That's actually pog.
Then they get the ds with heart gold and soul silver
Jeah.,
u better catch them hiding it under their pillow
Does avoidance have any real value for prot?
there's always value in having more stats
but not exactly pivotal for our spec
you take a bit less damage
Yes, but don't drop ilvl for it.
I've lowkey gone through some of thoes "old-stuff" markets to see if i can find these.
But NOWHERE.
Ok so myth track belt over hero track with avoidance then?
Thanks
ppl have been buying then up. like the only good investment i made years ago was to go for them
and heart gold soul silver
even tho now they coming to switch
i still have my OG green emerald / leaf green GBA cartridges somewhere
yer they worth a lot now too
i have my firered
but i never got the other
wish i had now

me and my brother would always get different games
so i got SS he got HG
Ruby / sapphire etc
yer
kinda the same but we didnt really do gen 3
then i was on my own from then on

I think the last I played was with the fox starter
thats pokemon X and Y i think
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.
It is. But the character was made before RS3 & OSRS 😁
valid
thats a big account
The trout
I did was it good?
looked POG
🐠
Was banger

no this is the canned fish channel
ah
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
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
true
all that shows is score isnt everthing
and if u have a good tema around u, you still dont have to play correctly
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.
what is your shield? (ignore this)
shield is HC but I can also craft if needed
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
🤷
❤️
we get 5 bullions in the next 3 weeks
thanks!
if i am not mistaken
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
Get good
nah im touching grass
Also @errant widget Nice pfp
^ the noise my knees made when getting out of that pose had the photographer actually concerned for my health
that pose my knees could not do
Nice! "Bright suns" ❤️
can hard relate, too
I got no idea what i just came back to.
That’s me in that photo with light sabers
Photographer hit us with a “who’s feeling athletic” after 10 full hours walking (after 2 days at blizzcon also) and I drew the short straw
oof
I think after that I literally went and got a blue milk and just sat my ass down in the middle of Star Wars land
Actually it was prob like 9pm when that pic was taken so I’d say 12 hrs of walking minimum
I think we did 18km or so
Disney ruined Star war
Star Wars land is so fucking sick tho
Burn it all to ground
Salt the earth
Disney must be stopped
They are worse than the empire
Mfs cant catch a break

Im warming up to this xan emote

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?
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
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
Humm. Tricky situation
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
Enhance shaman
Never played with a bad Enhance shaman tbh
they are so niche that all I know are top gamers
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.
HUH
how is it just a passive for you
its an extra button for me
what do you give up for it?
Sidearm
It's from the talent calculator.
Im learning a lot in the last few day, I can see my io rising, now i only need to play
thx
💀
Finally someone else sees the value in titanic throw
Let’s enjoy this moment before Nim appears and tells us it’s « fine but you don’t get value from it » or something 😅
Last time we talked about titanic throw people got banned
It’s almost as polarizing as disrupting shout
i dont think anyone has said titanic throw doesnt give value
@lusty grotto can you confirm or deny this?
but value is literally a subjective thing
good to know
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
I only play it in NOK for last boss
It feels good and helpful there
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
yeah the amount of people not getting value out of disrupting shout is staggering
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
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
just hit them with my profile msg
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
🤷
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
I think if I had to I would also say RLP is a good dungeon for it
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
a lof of casters in there
I just find the ability to be so awkward to use that i prefer not to run it
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
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
Gorefiend is such a good group up spell
DK would be fun if they had more mobility
Ya that’s because that’s kind of the whole point of it
but I just like the class fantasy of pwar so much
That’s like saying “man cars are so good for driving” 😑
I prefer trains
dont need to do it myself and can sleep
feels like fast traveling
jokes asaide, why cant our group up spell be as good?
like give us the same option even if it isnt the same spell
Because we’re not demon hunters
honestly sounds like a copout but they really should just turn it into an aoe silence isntead of interrupt
dhs have gorefiend???
Sigil of something I’m sure
next xpac bdk will all have gorefiends and it will have a 1.5 min cd and it will silence all targets it grips
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
makes dk a good dps pick in my books
bear and brew still dont have any sort of aoe silence situation to be fair as far as i know
its a blood talent
not aoe but greeat
Brewmasters are pretty solid at gathering with rop n stop
oh sry didnt read your msg correctly, only read all dks will have it
my bad
yeah brew is great
bear is suffering
Just give warrior lust and I can die happy
no give me real utility
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
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.
Yes.
Yes
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
now that I think bout it, that'd make pwarr the only lust tank

Fits the class lore
grab the caster's wrists
"WHY DO YOU ACTL IKE THIS YOU NEED TO BEHAVE WE'RE IN A WALMART"
also can grab cleanse

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
You’ve clearly never been next to a screaming tween child
Shouting can be very disruptive
nonsense its just gonna add determination to my cast
i cast slam
they stop shouting
easy
It’s ineffective
only slammin we do is of the shield variety
hello generally speaking which one is more important?
the neck gives a good amount of haste and i have very low rn
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
okey thank you ill get the trinket
7ilvl on shield vs 20ilvl on wrist? I think wrist upgrade win, but not sure how important shield is for protwarr.
always take shield
and as prot u should craft bracers anyway
wrists are prime crafted slot anyways
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
Best vault ever!!!
5400 Haste. I usually use 1 charge, then shield charge
then a few seconds later the second charge
For me it was around 6000 haste and now with 7400 or so sb is comfortably 100% uptime every key with itf (ie I don’t need to think about it)
splinter deez cowboy
gotem
sorry my parents might be related
dude get this
just drive into a wall at high speeds
and enjoy the brain damage
it even improved my ability to tank because my pain receptors no work no more
i put hand on stofetop no burn1!!
Careful what you wish for
I would love a do over
Id definitely do way more drugs and invest more intelligently
I've been running BSV and its so annoying have to actually monitor your SB uptime so closely to notice when it falls and hit last stand
it's like anime if you get fast enough the enemy will be hitting your after image!!
i have a metric boatload already
I have 93% SB 90% IP with 3800 haste, but I've also been misplaying and pressing block outside of combat and wasting charges sometimes... is the last few % really that much haste?
thats not a metric boatload
true idk why I thought it was more
ya this character is super undergeared atm
do i have to put this on my nickname
i guess im used to looking at it with ITF stacks and sharpinging stone
Bro ever since I talked to @lusty tiger my investments are cooking and I’m also larger if you know what I mean
ya you could change the rageheart name ppl got the message lol
not really they havent
havent seen someone asking in here n a few days no?
but eventually it wont matter cause we'll have more than enough bullions
currently, for me atleast, my shield block is a 10sec cd
never enough
with 55% haste, 6100 haste
6180*
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
SB uptime is everything and all
its a no-brainer for me using the standard build though
its almost a no brainer with BSV build
mister nim also whispered in my ear to bring a duffel bag into grand central park at 8:11pm august 9th 2024
