LOL

#

that never happens

violet ginkgo
#

usually I am a hunter hurdurr, i am staying far away

lusty grotto
#

hunter in group means mammoth always charges to africa

#

same with just about any rdps though

#

except the ones that know

shy python
#

Question:
As whe wanna keep Shield Block on CD could we just macro it with IP together?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

cause then you will rage starve yourself

#

60 rage a press

#

shield block is not a spammable rage dump

#

IP is

shy python
#

Okay. But are there other reasons?

lusty grotto
#

thats a huge fucking reason

#

rage starving = bad

shy python
#

😛

lusty grotto
#

its so big

#

that NO

#

you shouldnt do it

#

why would you want to IP at the same time as SB

#

ip is used only at 60+ rage

shy python
#

Just to save buttons

lusty grotto
#

SB is used every time to maintain its uptime

#

dont

#

youll do badly

shy python
#

I'll give it a try on my remix warrior 😉

lusty grotto
#

oh

#

remix

#

just do whatever

#

just dont do it in live

#

remix doesnt matter

#

im probably hitting ilvl cap today

waxen cradle
#

Was doing a Siege H on Remix and had a pally who did not know about Lifestorm and how much of a damage boost it can give, he told me thanks after the fact so that was nice

lusty grotto
#

lol

plush tendon
lusty grotto
zealous goblet
#

so this is gonna sound awful

#

if i'm a massive ape and have awful shield wall uptime, is impenetrable wall worth it still?

lusty grotto
#

yes

zealous goblet
#

or is that extra 3 rage per shield slam still massive

lusty grotto
#

shield wall uptime? LOL

rigid yew
#

@shy python macro shield block to shield slam and thunderclap
Its my lazy macro
Is it top tier optimization, nope
But I have near 100% uptime on it

lusty grotto
#

just send when you need it

zealous goblet
#

uh my friends yell at me for not using a defensive every pull

#

they said i should be much less conservative about last stand, shield wall, and rallying cry

lusty grotto
#

stop listening to your friends

#

they very clearly dont know what the fuck theyre talking about

zealous goblet
#

i'm inclined to listen to them because they push decently high, but at the same time they don't play warrior and argue in bad faith often, but i don't want to seem egotistical, so i try to filter their thoughts, but it's hard when i know less than them

#

they say by using defensives much more often i let my healers heal me less and dps more

lusty grotto
#

youre not inclined to do so at all

zealous goblet
#

(paraphrasing super hard)

lusty grotto
#

what is decently high

zealous goblet
#

i have no clue they didn't exactly give me a point of reference

mellow bridge
lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter, they have no fucking clue what they're talking about

#

but realistically

#

youll have wall up every min

rigid yew
#

I use the 2 charge shield wall talent with the lower cd on hit cd or w/e
Its up ALOT like I can SW every other pull basically
Then you can rotate in the other numerous defenses as needed
If you're not dropping below 30% hp then I feel like my defensive is really only letting the healer relax a bit or dps more

mellow bridge
#

people still playing aegis in 2024

lusty grotto
#

please fucking dont

#

dosparkers

#

stop

rigid yew
#

Lol

mellow bridge
#

impen wall gives you SW every ~60s

lusty grotto
#

dont recommend garbage talents please

mellow bridge
#

if the pull is sufficently large enough or you have BL

#

it's even lower

lusty grotto
#

or your own experience

#

thats not optimal, we're here to teach the optimal setup not to dance around bad talents

mellow bridge
lusty grotto
#

your experiences are your own

mellow bridge
#

rotating defensives and using them actively isnt wrong per se

lusty grotto
#

its not indeed

mellow bridge
#

doesnt mean you have to go for maximum uptime which is kinda what your friends sound like to me?

lusty grotto
#

thats what i got from that

zealous goblet
#

it's what i got from it myself

mellow bridge
#

but you should be using them often when it actually makes sense to press them

zealous goblet
#

i could just be severely misunderstanding

rigid yew
#

I'll recommend my garbage experience as I see fit

lusty grotto
#

do it elsewhere then

#

theres no benefit to macroing SB + IP together, its an overall negative

#

theres no benefit from running defender's aegis, you will have wall's cd up way less than IW

#

the benefit youre seeing is highly personal

#

and not objective

mellow bridge
#

the only use case for aegis is when you need two shield walls in such a small timeframe that iw wouldnt give you another usage anyways

south zealot
#

not only is double shield wall less shield walls its also less rage

mellow bridge
#

which uh

#

just doesnt happen

south zealot
#

you would need 2 shield walls in less than a minute for it to actually be better, and i personally cannot think of any situation that happebs

rigid yew
#

I never said anything about sb + ip
And talent choices are personal and what make the game fun

lusty grotto
mellow bridge
#

that's macroing sb to ss/tc but it's dumb anyways so w/e

lusty grotto
#

you replied to a conversation asking about an IP + SB macro with that

#

itll be rough for you guys when we're rage starving next exp

#

tc doesnt generate 30 rage

#

have fun rage starving then

violet ginkgo
#

MUH Rage next expansion D:

south zealot
#

while it doesn’t really matter much now, there are times you don’t want to send sb on cd

violet ginkgo
#

I need more detail choco about these "times"

south zealot
#

if a pack is going to die before your sb ends

#

on st where you will have no rage to revenge for ss procs

south zealot
#

very minor situations

lusty grotto
#

30 rage + 30 rage = 60 rage, are you prepared to lose your entire ragebar to it?

mellow bridge
lusty grotto
#

and if you dont have 60 rage, the first one is the only one that goes off

mellow bridge
lusty grotto
#

thats 30 rage less

mellow bridge
#

now you just used your last charge of SB and go into the next pack without one

#

sounds good

shy python
lusty grotto
#

you use IP more than SB

#

sb has a duration which matters

#

IP doesnt

kind urchin
#

If you're running bolster and you wouldn't get the full duration of that shield block charge don't press it.

violet ginkgo
lusty grotto
#

they are doing remix

#

so its probably an ST build

#

speaking of which

south zealot
#

remix literally doesn’t matter at all

lusty grotto
#

ITS A REMIX DISCUSSION

#

SHIT DOESNT MATTER

#

just press whatever, shit dies

shy python
#

Well lets be clear.. We are talking about top tier gaming right?

lusty grotto
#

come back whenever remix characters get moved to real retail

shy python
#

For anything below that those macros are okay

lusty grotto
#

no

south zealot
#

in any retail gameplay, you dont want to use such macros

lusty grotto
#

they are never ok, but youre free to do whatever you want

south zealot
#

all tanks have an active mitigation button

#

put them on the same key

rigid yew
#

A true gamer would not require macros at all. This why you buy a mouse with 50 side buttons.

lusty grotto
#

i dont

shy python
south zealot
#

if we get like 5 more keybinds i have to start using control shift binds lmao

lusty grotto
#

lmao

#

i got no mmo mice

#

and i do fine

south zealot
#

dont have to use y or h if your hand cant easily reach them

rigid yew
#

However I am a noob and play with a 2 button mouse. Thus I cannot offer the advice of the gods.

lusty grotto
#

all im saying is

#

if i do fine without an mmo mouse

#

and if you do have an mmo mouse

#

you should do MORE than fine

#

and just be thankful we're not brews

#

or hpals

#

then you'd be flat out fucked on buttons

south zealot
#

brew is fucked

#

you have like 7 buttons youre using rotationally

radiant mortar
#

brew is almost as bad as druid...

#

Pala is close

south zealot
#

not including the 5 offensive cds, 5 defensive cds, the 5 cc buttons, and the other random ass buttons you have too

south zealot
#

guardian is super free

radiant mortar
#

resto

mellow bridge
#

i also have a 2 button mouse

#

🤷‍♂️

radiant mortar
#

I don't play baer

lusty grotto
#

oh resto lol yeah youre fucked

#

😦

rigid yew
#

Technically speaking if at anytime you have more than 0 rage you are playing sub optimal.

lusty grotto
#

no

#

thats completely

#

fucking

#

incorrect

#

your rage bar needs to be between 30 and 60

#

moving between those 2 values

radiant mortar
#

not having rage gets you killed

#
  • no dmg
#
  • maidenless
south zealot
#

by that logic you can be at 0 rage (optimal) and then shield slam and not have enough rage to cast anything

lusty grotto
#

if youre at 0 rage, youre rage starved, this is a big flat fucking no

mellow bridge
#

maidenless being the worst out of those 3 statements

radiant mortar
#

Man I don't know what to play in TWW, will you guys all stay prot? rdruid is down bad, shadow is okay ish and prot seems down

radiant mortar
rigid yew
#

It just hit beta
Things will change no?

mellow bridge
#

will? dunno

#

can? absolutely

toxic pewter
#

why would I play anything other than the true chad spec

mellow bridge
#

also as an all-tank enjoyer im looking at bdk or brew the most rn

#

both got some good changes

#

but bdk set is omega cringe

toxic pewter
#

literally running around 5% larger than all these other losers

#

and you thinking about switching?

lusty grotto
#

ive played prot since vanilla, what do you think lol

toxic pewter
#

LOL

radiant mortar
radiant mortar
toxic pewter
#

.. yikes..

lusty grotto
#

so do i, with alts

south zealot
#

if colossus arms isnt the bis dps spec

lusty grotto
#

but not my main

south zealot
#

im gonna be mildly annoyed

toxic pewter
#

nothing can beat Chadlossus

radiant mortar
south zealot
#

who the fuck wants to play mountain thane fury

toxic pewter
#

got these mountain lames spewing nonsense left and right lmao

#

gtfo i say

south zealot
#

thane prot is based

#

thane fury is such a disgusting sounding rotation

toxic pewter
#

fury is always gross

lusty grotto
#

Anyway being a one trick pony isn't really a good thing, or something I would recommend

#

It's just a thing for me, that's it

radiant mortar
#

how is being amazing at one specific class bad?

toxic pewter
#

mountain thane prot not very appealing to me why would someone actively choose not to demolish shit

#

and be 5% larger

radiant mortar
#

me rerolling every tier hold me back from learning

#

only specs I can play good is shadow and rdruid

toxic pewter
#

plus the shockwave hero talent alone is insanely good, this knock up actually is useful and on a 20 sec cd

lusty grotto
rigid yew
#

Just play the meta, be mediocre but still dominate because

lusty grotto
#

Especially if you main them

radiant mortar
#

If my spec is meta while I play it, nice

radiant mortar
#

but I will never fotm

lusty grotto
#

I do that by swapping alts, but it's not as good as maining something different

toxic pewter
#

i guess I will try mountain thane.. sigh

lusty grotto
#

Hero class

#

One of our 3

#

Blademaster rip

toxic pewter
#

blademaster would of been mega ultra s tier

mellow bridge
#

real

rigid yew
#

Honestly don't care that much about class design
I just want a good story, fun raid and nice pool of dungeons for the seasons

lusty grotto
#

Remember warrior has 3 hero classes in war3

#

Not just one like dk and dh simps

#

Thane, blademaster, warchief

#

Anytime some Mongo tries to pull the hero class bs, remind them with that fact

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

Yeah that's fair

#

I will probably cut down on it in TWW

mellow bridge
#

mustve missed that

toxic pewter
mellow bridge
#

ahh colossus tree

#

i see

rigid yew
#

Is the air part just cosmetic?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

its a knockup

#

like tail swipe

south zealot
#

does it stun and then knockup

#

or does it do both at the same tome

#

time

lusty grotto
#

thats the idea iirc, but you guys are playing beta so you would know

south zealot
#

no im not deadge

lusty grotto
#

well other guys lol

mellow bridge
#

it kinda reads like it would do it at the same time

#

which then makes it only relevant if the mobs would be stun dr'd?

#

kinda weird lol

#

anyway mountain thane tree sounds way cooler fite me

rigid yew
#

The cdr is probably the main part

#

Knockup followed by stun would be sweet tho

lusty grotto
#

jesus

#

its not followed by a stun

#

it says also

#

also the cdr is the most boring part its a flat 5 sec reduce

south zealot
#

its probably a knockup and a stun at the same time

#

which is mostly grief

lusty grotto
#

it doesnt scale with target count

mellow bridge
#

i dont even know what it being a knockup does besides working on mobs with DR already

#

idk

#

kinda weird

lusty grotto
#

the point is that if theres a stun DR

#

it still knocks em up

#

or in practice it should

mellow bridge
#

cant remember the last time stun dr was an issue KEKL

lusty grotto
#

it is when you have a shaman and monk in group

#

and/or an HDH

crystal iris
#

whats the trick to tanking the first pulls of HOI

#

there are frontal ground effects but those are different from the spear flurry right?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

those ARE the flurries

crystal iris
#

ah ok

#

so I just avoid them while trying not to spin the pack at the other melees?

south zealot
#

yeah

crystal iris
#

I usually go this way but have only had one group where everyone was able to do the jump skip

crystal iris
#

you can parcour over the rocks against the wall to pass those guys

south zealot
#

your groups fail to do that lol

#

just have them die and rez them

crystal iris
#

well if a rezzer cant do it then were screwed

#

i have not had a single group where everyone could do it

south zealot
#

tell them tk get better

crystal iris
#

and only 1 group where we could deathskip

south zealot
#

u jump from right to left left to righht

crystal iris
#

exactly

#

they all try to jump straight

#

you have to start against wall and jump 45 deg left

zealous goblet
grim pilot
#

the only semi challenging skip is the first drake

zealous goblet
#

no one even hosts low level halls

grim pilot
#

why are u afraid

#

join

#

die

#

go again

violet ginkgo
#

I don't even know the jump skip

zealous goblet
#

i don't wanna brick someone's key at what i consider hard level

grim pilot
#

who cares

radiant mortar
#

huh

south zealot
#

fuck em grief all the keys

grim pilot
#

why would u care about someone elses key

radiant mortar
#

If its not my key I look out to play as perfect as I can too

south zealot
#

bro myrtu i jumped into first boss in ruby as vdh and immediately died

grim pilot
#

that doesnt negate

south zealot
#

i became the gif

grim pilot
#

anything I said

south zealot
grim pilot
#

I never said to play bad

#

on purpose

radiant mortar
#

No what I mean is, in my own keys I try stuff

#

like pull bigger

crystal iris
#

Id rather brick someone elses key than my own

radiant mortar
#

be more in combat stance etc

zealous goblet
#

WHAT

crystal iris
zealous goblet
#

THAT SWEAR IS BLOCKED

grim pilot
crystal iris
#

ohh ya leap over the fake rock

zealous goblet
#

ok i need to retype my paragraph

south zealot
#

i think in s2 we had evoker rescue priest grip id leap

grim pilot
#

this is cool route

#

for halls

zealous goblet
#

i SAID I'M GONNA STRANGLE YOU IF YOU KEEP TYPING IN HALF SENTENCES YOU CHEEKY BITCH? IS BITCH FINE?

#

ok bitch is fine

south zealot
#

grim pilot
#

lusty grotto
#

grim pilot
#

south zealot
#

grim pilot
#

ye

lusty grotto
#

sprint works myrt

south zealot
#

i forgot about that we just rescued our priest back in the day

lusty grotto
#

oh

grim pilot
#

ye

lusty grotto
#

i thought you were talking about removing the drake debuff

#

lmao

grim pilot
#

about skipping

zealous goblet
#

the only question i have about halls is does the main route from like, normal/heroic fill the enemy forces % or do i need a lot of extra shit?

lusty grotto
#

yeah yeah

crystal iris
grim pilot
#

this is

#

regular route

south zealot
#

youll have too much count

#

if u do the normal heroic route

crystal iris
#

its not regular route lol

south zealot
#

youll be fine

crystal iris
#

if you run it like that

grim pilot
#

well for keys I'm doing

#

it is

crystal iris
#

Ill be fine, DPS will all die to the artifact channels

south zealot
#

myrtu linked the high key standard route

grim pilot
#

people doing higher than me

#

are doing

#

even "weirder" shit

#

much bigger first pull

zealous goblet
#

oh i missed it mb

lusty grotto
#

depends most of the time the pull isnt bigger, but chained

south zealot
#

dude idk how vdhs live more than 1 ravager

grim pilot
#

and bigger pulls

#

in general

south zealot
#

you just get FUCKED

#

didnt evenr ealize those mobs existed as warrior lol

crystal iris
#

something hurts a lot when im gathering the first pull

grim pilot
#

ravager?

#

u mean the big mob in aa?

#

it does anything?

lusty grotto
#

ravager?

south zealot
#

in halls the guys that

grim pilot
#

I didnt tank it on high key as vdh

#

only like 14

south zealot
#

do the auto attack soeed buff

#

speed

#

in the first area

lusty grotto
#

what

south zealot
#

i think they are called ravagers

lusty grotto
#

they dont hurt

#

hooly

#

they dont hurt on my vdh

grim pilot
#

ah

#

I never knew

#

those existed lmao

#

idk I didnt feel it

south zealot
#

i was getting fucked on a 14 yesterday

grim pilot
#

I think I did 15-16 on my vdh and pwar

lusty grotto
#

i mean thats just gear

grim pilot
#

and didnt notice

#

lmao

south zealot
#

granted im like 500 ilvl and stupid

#

but holy those own

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats gear

#

i dont get fucked at 520

south zealot
crystal iris
#

I usually pop SW while gathering the first pull

grim pilot
#

500 ilv

#

+14

#

what

#

obv its gonna hurt choco

south zealot
crystal iris
#

i ravager the first pack and onmy way to the second pack I get chunked if I dont have a def up

grim pilot
#

I dont do higher than 9

#

till im 520

#

I just cba

#

on any character

south zealot
#

same with the rlp hulk earth fuckers

#

if u dont parry that it owns

grim pilot
#

ulda first pull

#

my hp doesnt move

#

on my vdh

#

love

south zealot
#

its so unbelievably easy in vdh

#

i mean like

#

UNBELIEVABLE

#

i ran cheat when i tried it and was completely fine

#

didn’t even need it deadge

zealous goblet
#

imagine running the beaches of d day and not popping shield wall and heroic leap

#

imagine how useful shield wall would be in irl war, meta changing

crystal iris
#

40% of dead is still dead

zealous goblet
#

wrong

#

40% of dead is de, rounded down

#

rounded up*

#

sorry i might have brain parasite

glacial shadow
#

man I feel so much more vulnerable as a prot warrior than a guardian druid

lusty grotto
#

uhh

#

thats weird considering you can have shield block up

#

asap

glacial shadow
#

what am I doing wrong?

lusty grotto
#

as opposed to LOL IRONFUR

toxic pewter
#

u prob taking backhits

lusty grotto
#

yeah for sure

#

and/or not keeping SB up

glacial shadow
#

negative

#

I have SB up as often as possible

toxic pewter
#

no one can say without logs

lusty grotto
#

not as often

#

near 100% uptime

glacial shadow
#

the cooldown doesn't allow 100%

lusty grotto
#

"as often as possible" is not the right choice of words

toxic pewter
#

O_O

lusty grotto
#

...

#

ok we found why hes failing

toxic pewter
#

yah no wonder u taking so much dam

#

show your talent build

grim pilot
#

if youre playing with

#

heavy repercussions

lusty grotto
#

SB has a hastened cooldown, you probably have low haste

grim pilot
#

u shouldn't ever be able to drop sb

violet ginkgo
glacial shadow
#

4600

lusty grotto
#

thats low haste

south zealot
#

if you have low haste heavy repercussions instead of jnto the fray will give you the uptime you need

lusty grotto
#

you should be playing heavy repercussions, not into the fray

glacial shadow
#

i see

lusty grotto
#

not having SB up = less damage = less tankiness

#

GIGA less tankiness

blazing condor
#

you definitely notice when SB isnt up

#

cus suddenly youre getting chunked 40% per hit

glacial shadow
#

Im actually already using HR and I still have periods of 2-3 seconds of downtime

#

I even let SB fall off to get max time out of it

lusty grotto
#

press more SB

#

err SS

glacial shadow
#

I press it off cooldown

lusty grotto
#

shield slam

glacial shadow
#

within human limitations 😛

lusty grotto
#

do you have logs?

tribal wharf
#

does the trinket nerf nerf dmg of tank related trinket dmg effects

glacial shadow
#

maybe someone logged this raid

tribal wharf
#

trinkets that deal damage and drop for tanks

lusty grotto
#

raid??

glacial shadow
#

??

lusty grotto
#

you will lose uptime in raid

#

just dont do it while youre actively tanking

south zealot
lusty grotto
#

especially with that low amount of haste

glacial shadow
#

i've been pugging so its a crap shoot if the offtank does their bit

south zealot
#

like pocket anvil for this expac

tribal wharf
#

cuz im saying if there is a trinket flagged to drop for tanks and devs want us to wear it, like on where you get hit and deal fire damage back to attackers

#

maybe i read it wront

lusty grotto
#

ok well find the log if you can

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

pretty much but alacrity gives us a bit of leeway

#

either way he mentioned raid, which... is wild

#

cause raid tanking is easy af

frosty mango
#

tell that to the tanks that get pulled off on sennarth every pull

lusty grotto
#

this def doesnt sound like mythic awakened either

#

cuase if the other tank isnt "doing their bit" in mythic... uhhh

#

except for bdk i dont know if theres a tank that could survive not having certain tank swaps

radiant mortar
#

ok the enhancer 4 tier sounds sick

#

100% longer feral spirit

tribal wharf
#

that or, if they are going to nerf the hell out of dmg trinkets for tank

#

make the effects not suck (7 second buff for 500k, but from 18 sources...., the blue crystal lair), drop to 70% hp heal for a million

#

no

#

stop

#

what im saying is if they nerf the dmg, sure, buff the defensive portion, i would kill for buffs that last 20 seconds 30 + instead of 12 seconds

lusty grotto
#

bad take

urban portal
#

yogi doesnt have good takes

lusty grotto
#

he did when he said he picked a lalafel blm

urban portal
#

oh my bad

lusty grotto
#

which i am

tribal wharf
#

i was never taking ff14 that serious

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter, its a good take

urban portal
#

if every tank trinket is on the level of rageheart then we are cooking

#

also why would the buff time matter

lusty grotto
#

dreadplates*

tribal wharf
#

well thats exactly what im saying

urban portal
#

the longer the buff the weaker the trinket effect is

radiant mortar
tribal wharf
#

too many of the tank trinkets and dps trinkets and especially healer trinkets are just so limp noodel underpowered bs, or its like insanely broken

lusty grotto
#

no thanks

tribal wharf
#

its like my shower water temp settings, boiling hot or freezing cold, no inbetween choice

urban portal
#

they arent actually underpowered

#

its just underpowered with respect to each other

lusty grotto
#

healer trinkets arent underpowered, they are just fucking boring and dogshit

radiant mortar
#

healing is boring and dogshit

tribal wharf
#

i dunno, lots of the healers constantly making argument in raids about "i need that mage trinket" seems

urban portal
#

they also dont realize that tank trinkets needs to be more than just a big shield

radiant mortar
#

make healing fun again

i dont raid alot but that seems to be recurring sentiment

lusty grotto
#

its not

radiant mortar
urban portal
#

some mana trinkets go fucking crazy though

lusty grotto
radiant mortar
#

and rdruid burn it like

urban portal
#

yeah was about to say hpal

radiant mortar
#

I know no hpala players

#

sooo

urban portal
#

the thing about mana trinkets is that even though you dont NEED it

#

you are allowed to press the less efficient button more often

tribal wharf
#

whatever that BFA trinket was that restored mana was, i had that on my arcane mage

#

maybe it was the stafff? i recall the staff on use sucking

#

caught hell from mage discord

lusty grotto
#

why use a trinket for mana when you have pots

radiant mortar
#

Do you mean spine?

tribal wharf
#

it was like a mechanical potion type thingy

#

i think

radiant mortar
#

man druids run spark from tw to have a bit of mana

#

if they got it somehow xD

zealous goblet
#

they should make trinkets like in classic wow where you get minor buffs with 30 min cooldowns

#

like
"text your demented grandmother (30 min cooldown)"

#

can u feel it

#

can u feel the classic experience

lusty grotto
#

nobody cares about classic

tribal wharf
#

i would have to resub to log into my mage

#

NICE TRY

zealous goblet
#

sorry i'm still pent up from sod

#

it actually made me so annoyed to see how bad it turned out

lusty grotto
zealous goblet
#

young man

#

i said sod not cata

#

you silly billy

radiant mortar
#

SoD = Season of Dads

lusty grotto
#

same thing

zealous goblet
#

i reject your reality

lusty grotto
#

"young man" telling the guy that started in vanilla late BWL

zealous goblet
#

i can get delusional enough to make anything seem real to me

radiant mortar
#

Nim what do I play in TWW, prot, rdruid, shadow or something new

zealous goblet
#

in fact i already imagined winning this argument so don't bother

lusty grotto
#

are you 5?

zealous goblet
#

4 and a half

lusty grotto
#

im trying to look for a word thats not cringe

#

but i cant find it

zealous goblet
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

radiant mortar
lusty grotto
#

any of these will work

lusty grotto
zealous goblet
#

excuse me

#

you said WORD

#

those last few results are WORDS PLURAL1!!?!

#

another w for the best prot warrior in the scene holy damn i'm so smart

lusty grotto
#

jesus christ youre giga cringe

zealous goblet
#

very much so yes

lusty grotto
#

gotta be honest toady made me laugh

south zealot
#

can i be cringe

lusty grotto
#

no

#

i wont allow it

zealous goblet
#

who is toady

south zealot
#

stamina is the best tank stat

tribal wharf
#

this one

south zealot
#

more hp is more alive

tribal wharf
#

i had it on arcane mage

glacial shadow
#

fixed the 100% uptime 😐

#

Champions Bulwark is kinda important

south zealot
#

oh you didnt have that

south zealot
#

yeah lol you need that talent

glacial shadow
#

seeing that

#

averaging 20 seconds of SB

lusty grotto
#

thats...

#

not how we measure uptime

glacial shadow
#

I was just testing on a dummy to see what it did

lusty grotto
#

youre just spamming SB for some reason

glacial shadow
#

yeah, I was seeing if I could maintain it

lusty grotto
#

by... spamming it?

#

youre not supposed to, much less in raid

glacial shadow
#

I went from have periods of no SB to having 20s of it constantly

#

it was a test

lusty grotto
#

SB has a cap of 3 times its duration

#

alright

tribal wharf
#

just stack 25k mastery

#

100% block

lusty grotto
#

no

radiant mortar
tribal wharf
#

probably 100% critical block at that much mastery

#

super critical block

zealous goblet
#

isn't 100% uptime near impossible or something? i'm getting about 95%~ now, but i do notice very brief periods where it runs out, and i have nothing up for 1-2 secs

tribal wharf
#

no lol, 100% uptime pretty easy

lusty grotto
#

95+ is fine

tribal wharf
#

but uptime alone isnt ur metric, blocked hit

glacial shadow
#

@zealous goblet probably not using shield charge

#

was my issue

lusty grotto
#

nah hes fine

glacial shadow
#

didn't realize it could be talented for more SB

zealous goblet
#

i am using it, i said i have nothing up like no charge of block or charge

lusty grotto
#

95 is very good

zealous goblet
#

it's super duper rare, maybe it's because i griefed my charge timing or something

compact silo
#

whats the best crafted shield?

lusty grotto
#

primal molten

compact silo
#

ok ty

violet ginkgo
#

not just Kinda

compact silo
glacial shadow
#

should be baseline if its that important

lusty grotto
south zealot
#

well its only important if you dont take bolster or hr or both

#

not that important if you have tons of other shield block talents already

radiant mortar
#

@lusty grotto I think I will go for unholy their class fantasy sounds great

#

also bdk if it goes bad

vocal cave
#

what would be all-rounder trinket? dreadplate and ragehearth?

lusty grotto
#

dreadplate and alltotem

zealous goblet
#

hey so

#

i know upgrading trinkets is mainly for the trinket effect, but am i crazy to think rageheart feels bad to upgrade?

lusty grotto
#

🤷

urban portal
#

their effect and the main stat both contributes to the power

lusty grotto
#

you know what i did

#

i maxed out my hero treemouth first

#

because i didnt waste bullions on the subpar defensive trinket 🙂

zealous goblet
#

eh? i've been enjoying it so far.

lusty grotto
#

good for you

zealous goblet
#

i've not run across many trinkets yet to make me regret it

#

i've only gotten a grieftorch and the weird scale thing

#

i don't even remember the sclae's name

elder cosmos
#

Gryanoths or whatever?

#

I think there's 2 different scale ones lol

#

Maybe I'm cooked

zealous goblet
#

it gave a bit absorb shield like the heart did

#

big*

lusty grotto
#

idk i like my 1.4 million shield that lasts the entire duration because its not a full absorb (and also provides Strength instead of garbo versa)

zealous goblet
#

haven't come across that yet

lusty grotto
#

should have farmed brackenhide

zealous goblet
#

i do keys with my friends we've not done many brackens yet

lusty grotto
#

not like we hadnt recommended it

#

but it is what it is

zealous goblet
#

what, the trinket or playing with friends?

lusty grotto
#

the trinket

zealous goblet
#

oh, i mean

lusty grotto
#

it was the top defensive trinket in s2 as well

#

since BH was around

zealous goblet
#

what's bh?

#

and i only started in s4

lusty grotto
#

bracken

#

hide

zealous goblet
#

idk bro

#

seems like a minor detail at the end of the day regardless

lusty grotto
#

its not

#

cause you wasted a bullion

zealous goblet
#

naw

#

only waste if you regret the choice

#

positive mindset my friend

lusty grotto
#

we dont run on feelings here

#

we run on math

median tulip
#

I have enough maths in my work, I tank purely by the seats of my pants on vibes and intuition

zealous goblet
#

atta boy

#

and not like it matters in 2 months or so, right?

lusty grotto
#

thats fine since youre not doing math by playing

median tulip
#

None of it matters

zealous goblet
#

new expansion baby

median tulip
#

It's a game

#

If you want math, well:

lusty grotto
#

way to take what i said out of context

zealous goblet
lusty grotto
#

literally 12

zealous goblet
#

but i was 5 before

#

that's some mighty fine progression

#

i'm a beast growing up 7 years in two hours

#

SHEEEESH

zealous goblet
#

what's the reward from silver/gold again? aside from +2 or +3ing a key

#

another loot roll?

#

2-5?

strong forum
#

You get a higher key at the end

#

That's the reward

zealous goblet
#

yes but i thought the speed had an effect on how many loot rolls you got at the chest, no?

#

or is that completely random?

strong forum
#

You get 2 items per dungeon

#

For every key level above +10, you get a +20% chance on 1 additional item

#

So, in a +15, you get 3 items guaranteed

#

In a +20 you get 4 items guaranteed

#

(not like items matter at that point anyway)

#

Only in early legion speed affected how many items you got at the end of a key

grim pilot
#

Having 5 items drop last season

#

Felt good

strong forum
#

That's where the term 2/3 chesting comes from

#

Cuz you got up to 3 chests

zealous goblet
#

oh.

#

thanks for telling me

strong forum
#

The game doesn't tell you alot of things

#

That's where Word of mouth comes into play dracthyr_nod

zealous goblet
#

like how i can lead a fulfilling life

strong forum
zealous goblet
#

completely new topic, y'all recommend enabling action targetting or nah? i've tried playing with and without and barely feel a difference

strong forum
#

Never bothered

#

In content where stuff matters, action combat can be detrimental to your performance

mellow bridge
#

What is that even

lusty grotto
#

its targetting with your mouse kind of like ESO

crystal iris
#

I kind of like Storm Eaters Boon better than Anvil for keys

#

i can afford to stand in the occasional Swirly and survive it

lusty grotto
crystal iris
#

Nahh it slaps

lusty grotto
#

yeah good job not blocking

crystal iris
#

vs always having to monitor the anvil timer and be annoyed when someone dies, rushing from pack to pack

lusty grotto
#

or parrying

crystal iris
#

oh shit really?

lusty grotto
#

while standing still like an idiot

crystal iris
#

damn I cant block? 😦

lusty grotto
#

how is this suprising?

crystal iris
#

usually channels where you cant block lock you in somehow

#

but this you can still use all your abilities

#

P’us I ran it on AA and didn’t feel like I was taking more damage while using it

lusty grotto
#

maybe cause its tyr week?

#

and you probably blasted it before bolstering came around and deleted your characater

south zealot
#

i feel like u can block during it

#

until they decide to 360 strafe you bc why not

strong forum
#

It's not a channel

#

It just roots you in place

#

But it's just useless padding, you have to make a huge pull around it every 3 minutes for it to be semi good

#

Otherwise it's just a loss

crystal iris
#

Idk anvil feels like a lot of effort for like 5% of my overall

#

Last week at least

#

I knew you could block

strong forum
#

Useful dmg > overall

lusty grotto
#

the problem is what youre saying

#

mobs will go around you

#

you will have your butt to mobs at any given time in ele form

#

its a giga grief trinket

jade widget
#

Seen this yesterday and came back to it - prob not a bad idea. Cept ppl still taking rageheart

lusty grotto
#

what do you mean

jade widget
#

IP Uptime doesn't matter keks

lusty grotto
#

i mean its not a bad idea, it just doesnt matter

#

cause youll be using it as a rage dump so it'll always be up

#

or, i should say, its not that its a bad or good idea, its not an idea at all

crystal iris
#

It'l be my flex on DPS trinket for when I run AA homework keys with 2x bloodborne

#

I'm kind of underwhelmed by all totem

strong forum
#

in what way

#

it does like 16-20k dps by itself + all the sick buffs you get

#

how is that underwhelming haha

toxic pewter
#

free mini lust every 2 min SCREW THAT LOL

zealous goblet
#

speaking of bloodborne

#

the answer is probably yes, but i feel the need to ask

#

does leech affect DoTs like bleeding?

#

or uh, wow that's poorly worded, DO YOU GET HEALED FROM BLEED DAMAGE?*

lusty grotto
#

yes but bloodborne isnt recommended, its part of a meme parse build

#

there are talents with more weight and that are far more important than it

zealous goblet
#

oh yeah for sure i was just wondering because i hate playing with advanced combat text and shit, so the only info i have about incoming heals and damage is on my character portrait lighting up

#

which only displays 1 line at a time and everything is overriding everything it's a thunderdome

lusty grotto
#

cue tracking unneeded things

zealous goblet
#

how much has trash been hitting me this entire time? who knows. says absorbed.

#

naw i hate most peoples uis you'll i like minimalist and clean and shit

#

only like 5 or 10% of my screen is ui

lusty grotto
#

you mean like this?

#

also the bottom bars hide in combat

zealous goblet
#

aye, pretty much. not elvui, but yeah

#

it might not sound impressive or considerable but i've seen some of my friends and those fuckers are like, playing starcraft 2 or something while doing dungeons

#

actual sensory overload

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats a bad thing

#

100% sensory overload

south zealot
#

oh i forgot mine is hero nvm

neon cliff
#

question, does shadowflame x2 do more damage than elemental lariat + allied wristguard for M+?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

but you could sim to see it in action

neon cliff
#

oh snap, thank you so much!

lusty grotto
#

just make sure you sim patchwerk

#

5 targets

#

1.5 mins or 1 min

#

and extrapolate results from both

neon cliff
#

thank you!!!

lusty grotto
#

lariat with full sockets + 1 shadowflame patch is good

#

can be top

#

in M+ only

#

otherwise double shadowflame

#

its not a huge difference though

#

close to within margin of error

neon cliff
#

ooo ok really appreciate it!

lusty grotto
#

full sockets being 3 from neck, helm, bracers, belt and rings so 8

#

allied + lariat sims way lower

#

2k to 3k dps off

neon cliff
#

oof haha

#

well, definitely will try double shadowflame then! thank you for your help 🙂

cinder marsh
#

on a scale 1-10 how good is prot warr in PVP?

lusty grotto
#

tanks shouldnt pvp

#

gtfo

#

but you do have 2 amazing pvp offspecs

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

bear and vdh are usually better flag carriers

#

and base BGs arent good for prot flag defending

#

tanks should def be banned from arenas though

#

honestly though, we have an S to A rank spec that excels at pvp

#

thats Arms

#

and Fury has been very good this expansion

#

with a lot of play, maybe not at the highest level but still

#

normal BGs though, people can do whatever, they'll be a diservice to their team as prot, but its casual play so who cares

pallid quiver
#

lots of people based on the rage posts

south zealot
#

i like tanks in pvp as long as they can function as a supportive role for their teammate

#

the issue is when they are unkillable and do the same damage as a dps and make their teammate unkillable and top healing

lusty grotto
#

you have dps that can do that

#

yes

#

thats a BIG issue

south zealot
#

but in theory, it should be fine

lusty grotto
#

and they do NO dps

#

if played correctly they make the game extremely fucking slow

#

if played incorrectly they are doing basically nothing

south zealot
#

i mean healers in 2v2 are so unbelievably op i think tanks arent even kind of an issue

#

you have to play infinitely better as double dps compared to heal dos

#

dps

lusty grotto
#

only if the healer is good

#

if you can yolo zerg any of the 2, the game is over

south zealot
#

yeah but if u get yolo zerged youre bad/got hard hard outplayed

valid brook
#

yo guys can anyone help me with something?

south zealot
#

every class has like 3 defensives

south zealot
valid brook
# south zealot yeah whats up

my first class is hunter and im currently lv 41 do you know why i feel like i do no damage compared to other people in my team such as tanks?

south zealot
#

when youre leveling the scaling can be super weird

#

youre typically the strongest at like level 10-25 before it getting much weaker at 40+

lusty grotto
#

are you leveling in remix or in non-remix ?

valid brook
lusty grotto
#

did you create a timerunner when you created your hunter?

valid brook
lusty grotto
#

does your character have a sandglass when you chat

#

and/or in the character selection screen

valid brook
#

its warmane i havent purchased the game yet...

lusty grotto
#

i mean you can play remix as a trial too

valid brook
lusty grotto
#

in both versions? sure

#

see the difference?

#

does your character have one of those?

valid brook
#

lemme check

lusty grotto
#

also btw

#

this is the warrior discord

valid brook
lusty grotto
#

not the hunter discord

valid brook
#

wait what....

#

i swear i join the hunter discord

lusty grotto
#

ok you arent playing remix

#

like choco siad

#

while leveling sometimes scaling is off, also depends on if you enabled chromie time etc

#

dont worry about it while leveling

valid brook
#

im just confused lol i dont wanna feel useless in dungeons

lusty grotto
#

leveling doesnt matter

valid brook
#

thats how i level up

lusty grotto
#

nobody really cares

#

dont sweat it

valid brook
#

well yeah i guess

#

what do you think is better quests or dungeons?

lusty grotto
#

no idea

valid brook
#

it takes me like 30 min to 1 hour to find me a dungeon lol

lusty grotto
#

were focused on end game

#

mostly because people are leveling in remix

valid brook
#

what is the diff?

lusty grotto
#

way faster

valid brook
#

i wanna level there 😭

south zealot
valid brook
#

how do i select remix?

lusty grotto
#

the game provides you with info on whats available

#

oh bro

south zealot
#

oooo it is

lusty grotto
#

youre playing classic lmao

valid brook
#

yes lmao

south zealot
#

wait i hope this is a bit

lusty grotto
#

yeah... this is a retail discord

south zealot
#

this would be super funny

valid brook
#

as i said i havent purchased the game so im playying warm,ane

lusty grotto
#

we cant help you

#

valid brook

Voti

brittle sandal
#

Might be a stupid ass question, but whats the easiest way to get a shield for prot if ive played fury/arms until now?

lusty grotto
#

crafting

#

or farm AV

#

with prot loot spec 🙂

brittle sandal
#

Ah ty! Was thinking lfr but Rolling for offspec is risky

lusty grotto
#

the highest ilvl the shield, the better

#

since the higher the ilvl, the more block it will have

#

and the tankier youll be with shield block up

#

so ilvl is important

#

an LFR shield will only get you so far

#

since its vet track

brittle sandal
#

Yeah but will get me started since i have no shield at all atm

lusty grotto
#

of course

brittle sandal
#

Im also trying my luck with time walking to get shield from loot boxes

lusty grotto
#

im just saying, if you already do that content with your fury/arms spec

#

it'll be easy to just swap loot spec and get a shield

brittle sandal
#

A 483 shield will help me get into 0s atleast

#

Thank you! Not from raid tho with offspec roll meaning less than main roll

lusty grotto
#

but AV

#

you havent touched M+?

#

you can just run an 8 for a hero shield

#

endlessly

#

vs raid

sick sentinel
brittle sandal
lusty grotto
#

correct, just change loot spec before the fight starts

brittle sandal
#

Aa okay

lusty grotto
#

im on my shaman atm

#

but its similar for you

#

well raid lockouts are 1 week, if you want a farmable way, you'd need to spam AV higher than m0

#

because thats the better stat-wise shield

brittle sandal
#

Yeah okay 😀

lusty grotto
#

just run an AV2 or something

#

back to back

brittle sandal
#

Yeah I know how to change loot spec, i aint new, just new to tanking

lusty grotto
#

you dont have to tank

#

you can dps

#

thats the point of us telling you about changing your loot spec

brittle sandal
#

Ofc thats what i ment

#

Got ksh in s1 on my other warr

#

I know how loot spec works hence why I have unholy loot spec whilst playing frost dk for 2h weps for example

lusty grotto
#

alright my mistake

sick sentinel
brittle sandal
brittle sandal
#

Just didnt know the "change before boss start" strat

sick sentinel
#

Aaah oki cool, i gues you used your bullions on fury/ arms stuff

brittle sandal
#

Oh naah, havent touched raid since it came out

#

So ill get 6 bullions or smthg

lusty grotto
#

7

brittle sandal
#

Daamn

#

I can buy alot of shit

lusty grotto
#

3 items?

brittle sandal

Better than i have now
