my highest key is like 16 in SL S1

grim pilot
#

I had every single 22 and most 23's timed

#

and would sat

#

3 hours in que

#

to get invited to my last 22

lusty grotto
#

i just didnt give a shit about the expansion after some point

grim pilot
#

which would get bricked on first pull (hov)

south zealot
#

i think i got 3k on my dk and just stopped playing it bc i kept getting omega farmed by the last pack in jade serpent

strong forum
#

my highest key in SL was 29

#

with 5 tanks

strong forum
#

lusty grotto

strong forum

south zealot

south zealot

strong forum
#

jagged gust
#

didn't someone here run a 20 basically naked back in SL?

grim pilot
#

naowh ran a 20 with green gear

#

like 340 ilv

#

iirc

#

in s1

strong forum
#

did the same in BFA

#

(almost as if the shield is the biggest thing)

grim pilot
#

was gonna say

#

u have shield and trinkets

#

but I mean

#

207 is still 207

strong forum
#

((in a key where tank dmg doesnt exist))

#

there are 0 tankbusters and hardly any mobs to tank besides a handful of auto attacks

#

it also took him like 3 or 4 tries

earnest hollow
#

pretty new to tanking, is this normal for +7s?

grim pilot
#

yes

lusty grotto
strong forum
#

yes

grim pilot
#

dont look at interrupts

earnest hollow
#

last 3 groups all the same

grim pilot
#

interrupts and ccs dont matter

#

if you truly want to track those

#

you track the ones that are ready RIGHT NOW via omnicd

strong forum
#

people in low keys dont care or are simply too bad to know

grim pilot
#

and also

#

as a tank

#

I like to "snipe" that stuff

#

I interrupt 1 cast and there's nothing else and 4 other people kicked it after me

strong forum
#

when youre doing keys in a pug, just play as if your group would never stun or CC anything

lusty grotto
#

its also a 7, they could have been zooming it

grim pilot
#

have people died from interruptable things is 1 thing

lusty grotto
#

and kicks wont hurt them cause of gear

grim pilot
#

2nd thing is have they used it with you

#

and 3rd thing is

earnest hollow
#

yeah but like 17 deaths last key

lusty grotto
#

no bolstering either

grim pilot
#

in 7s lots of people dont care

lusty grotto
#

did you still time?

earnest hollow
#

yeah

lusty grotto
#

if so, deaths dont matter

#

(:

earnest hollow
#

ok

strong forum
#

basically its like this

#

the only people who pug +7s are people who arent good enough to go higher

#

so you cant expect much

grim pilot
#

9s are for weeklies

#

maybe 8s

strong forum
#

yah

lusty grotto
#

could be gear farmers, maybe looking for a stormlash for the DH or trinkets

grim pilot
#

but 7s not many players there

lusty grotto
#

some people are just unlucky

grim pilot
#

statistically

lusty grotto
#

(my DH got stormlash last week) after spamming that shit

grim pilot
#

people would run 8s for that since its probably an alt

#

to get vault done

strong forum
#

yea

grim pilot
#

8s or 9s

strong forum
#

just run 8s for weeklies

lusty grotto
#

meh

#

i did 7s

grim pilot
#

since all the early season spam

#

is done

lusty grotto
#

cause i had done all my vault keys

grim pilot
#

u do that shit for week 1, maybe week 2

lusty grotto
#

again

#

some people are unlucky

#

LIKE MY DH

or literally any offensive CD

just because

grim pilot
#

its like

lusty grotto
#

yeah i mean i dont think we can ever stop that

grim pilot
#

top players are doing damage not just because the key requires it from a tank

strong forum
#

STG the best tank players are dps players

grim pilot
#

but also because proper play

south zealot
#

why do u think im the best player here nomer

grim pilot
#

involves just sending shit

#

mostly

#

sometimes u hold obviously

lusty grotto
#

i wish keys actually required tank damage to time

grim pilot
#

but when u hold

south zealot
#

HOLY i almost died for typing that

my

vfault

grim pilot
#

yeh bud they melee for 15k thats why u died

#

not because of sitting in a puddle

#

or somehow dying from a boss melee

strong forum
#

but its my highest dmg taken

south zealot
#

to be fair if they die right as youre exploding trees

#

it can be pretty grief

strong forum
strong forum
south zealot
#

but u also just expect them to die and move where u wanna be last second

#

wait can u spellblock that

#

holy

strong forum
#

yes

grim pilot
#

u can

#

outrange

#

that

rotund cliff

south zealot
#

and the swirlies spawn under your feet

you can even spellblock bursting!

grim pilot
#

well with that choco

south zealot

and dont eat any dmg

south zealot

south zealot

#

if his bad damage

#

is because of him kitinmg

#

like sure

#

u have to kite something

#

its bolstering

#

but the guy did no dam on bosses either

#

also daily reminder that av absolutely sucks donkey dick for melee players

#

I'm in constant fear of dying after pressing lego

strong forum
#

nowhere nearly as much as other dungeons

grim pilot
#

nah

#

its ass

#

frontals everywhere

#

"1 more"

#

"1 more"

strong forum
#

this is what the note said after they kicked me

#

ok ig ill go fuck myself

#

cuz its rly hard to just invite an aug

grim pilot
#

also I just cba tanking on bolstering its not fun

#

I dont like running around

#

because mobs can melee me for 3 million

strong forum
#

i mostly dont want to do tyr hoi

#

cuz

#

3rd boss is turbo RNG if healer can actually heal

#

or not

grim pilot
#

yes

#

took me 3 tries this week

#

to time 18 hoi

#

first augless we died at 50%

#

healer struggled so fucking hard

south zealot
#

healers can highroll good dps who use defensives

#

bc basically every boss doesnt need healing

strong forum
#

sir?

grim pilot
#

2nd uhh we had some diff issues but healer like just barely managed to heal after I pressed every defensive known to magekind on cooldown

south zealot
#

outside of getting topped up between being oneshot

strong forum
#

sir?

#

have you played hoi 3rd boss?

grim pilot
#

khajin

#

is full healer fight

south zealot
#

theres exceptions to rules

#

ofc

grim pilot
#

how fast can u go oom

#

ye thats what we're talking about

#

rn

#

specifically hoi tyra

south zealot
#

yeah i know i was saying thats why its rng

grim pilot
#

and the issue with it

#

and 3rd time I downed it in mage ret sp comp

strong forum
#

hoi is 100% healer dungeon

grim pilot
#

100% is an overstatement

#

most wipes on tyrannical

#

do come from 3rd boss

#

from my experience

south zealot
#

100% healer and your priest mding the dragons dungeon

grim pilot
#

u dont need to md

#

the dot

#

does fuck all

#

in s4

#

its just the first hit

south zealot
#

so only healer key

#

unbelievably easy to tank

#

dps are snooze too

grim pilot
#

it is surprisingly easy

#

to tank

#

indeed

#

only part that hurts

strong forum
#

that dungeon has only 1 section for tanks

#

and its dragos

grim pilot
#

are mobs with ice shard

#

and

#

and

#

miniboss

#

xD

strong forum
#

outside of that theres nothing

grim pilot
#

miniboss hurted me

south zealot
#

just iv noob

grim pilot
#

because I didnt wanna press defensives

south zealot
#

lol

grim pilot
#

ye I mean I didnt proc anywhere

#

maybe first pull when expulse went out so nobody was ccing the adds so I had like 3 stacks of demo shout + I sat in like 3 frontals I procced but yeah generally pretty chill key for tanks

strong forum
#

its over

#

ill get threat every pull

south zealot
#

i felt so bad for this ret pally in my key

#

i just couldnt hold threat on shit lol

#

well like 60% of the time i was fine

strong forum
#

aoe taunt

#

roar

south zealot
strong forum
#

hah

south zealot
strong forum
#

so far 2 deaths to threat

merry sluice
#

Ew vengeance it’s only okay if i play the broken Spec hmmph

I am legally obligated to say this is indeed a joke

strong forum
#

4min into the key

merry sluice
#

Well

#

That’s the last resort special

#

All that dmg and DR given up by dropping frailty stacks? ITS FREE REAL ESTATE you’re so much tankier bc you can die twice!!

south zealot
#

last resort is unbelievably bad

merry sluice
#

Agreed

south zealot
#

i never realized how bad it is until i started playing dh

merry sluice
#

It’s rooough man lol.

I couldn’t even consider nerfing my own frailty stacks either considering how awkward aggro feels on VDH SoF bug for the wiiiiin

#

But god the constant DR lost too, just so you can ‘die’ again is such a big trap

grim pilot
#

Not even 1 key

#

I was gonna tank AA

#

Figured ill try last resort

#

Went to random pack on m0

#

Spammed some spirit bombs

merry sluice
#

Im so sorry to hear you make that mistake

grim pilot
#

Said fuck this and went back to soulcrush

merry sluice
#

But imagine if you died there! You could’ve died like 3-4 times in a key in cool down with that talent!!

Never mind the fact you’ll die so much more often bc if the DR + effectively weaker leech loss

Or that there’s a bigger issue if you’re realistically triggering chest so much you need two in a key

#

honestly most don’t even need scales for their key level

jagged gust
#

I'm having a really hard time translating prot abilities to dh, feels like it's gonna take me a long time to learn my utility

merry sluice
#

Well the most common DH ability I see

#

Is running five miles ahead of the group, infernal striking into the enemy pack, and dying bc you didn’t pool a bomb, SoF before going in, and dropped spikes

#

I hope that helps

On a serious note, what is it specifically? Like managing their cc? Idk if it’s appropriate for me to go too DH brain in the discord, but it couldn’t hurt to ask around in there DH disc for specifics

strong forum
#

what is what specifically

#

or do you mean why do people play last resort?

#

cuz the answer is simple

#

its way way way easier to play

#

you cant really fuck it up and lets you thus play safer in big pulls where majority is melee dmg to fuck you over

#

cuz you dont need to play as well to just live

#

you do way less dmg

#

but its easier to live

merry sluice
#

no, I meant what is it william was struggling w/ on vdh

strong forum
#

ah

#

xd

merry sluice
#

but ty too, lol
I appreciate the response nonetheless

And I guess I have to agree its definitely 'easier', though I think I'd get bored if vdh devolved to pure spiritbomb feed the demon spikes spam

strong forum
#

in 19s and 20s you appreciate the braindeadness

#

atleast my friend does cuz hes calling stops n shit

#

and apparently melees start to hurt VDHs in those keys

#

cant relate cuz pwar privilege

#

VDHs hated WCM, meanwhile its pwars favourite key cuz nothing does damage

#

and you just vibe

merry sluice
#

I was heavy into my pally last season, and also quite loved wcm

Yeah I can see the attractiveness in the 'brainoff' of last resort. Its definitely better if you're playing 'bare minimum mechanical execution'

#

but

#

I also feel you do also desire a bit more of an...aware healer for external help, that makes it iffy for pugs imo

but also the elvels where you truly benefit from brain off last resort style arent pug lvl anymore

#

Avg pug player running last resort though is an awful idea

strong forum
#

a good healer has always an eye on his tank

#

but also

#

a good tank shouldnt need any attention whatsoever

#

like at all

#

a healer should know where a tank can take damage and thus you play around that fact yoruself

#

but also a tank never takes dmg when the group needs healing aswell

#

its always ONLY tank

#

or ONLY group

#

never both at the same time

ionic fern
#

Uldaman first giga pull is kinda both with bleeds + casts.

strong forum
#

so you dont rly shift any attention

#

those casts are supposed to be stopped

ionic fern
#

Sure.

strong forum
#

and the bleeds are on the tank

ionic fern
#

In an ideal world.

strong forum
#

so

#

if chain lightning goes off in a real key

#

1 or 2 people die

south zealot
#

vdh has like 50% parry just immune all bleeds gg

strong forum
#

80% avoidance

#

with spikes+sof

ionic fern
#

"BUT SR BROKEN".

strong forum
#

nah but parry unreliable bro

#

its bad bro

south zealot
#

you either take no damage or get fucking obliterated

ionic fern
merry sluice
#

well i feel if ur both doing that giga pull And chain lightning is going off
there's a bigger issue bc isnt that gig apull just spam stops and prayge?

But i guess there's time while everyone's running for it to happen

south zealot
#

i dont remember who i was watching but saw a dh just die in a second bc they took 12 melees from the 13 mobs they were fighting

strong forum
#

if you have enough instances

south zealot
#

unlucky go next

strong forum
#

parry does become reliable

#

and what do big pulls include

#

lotta dmg instances

#

and nobody arguing in good faith

#

would try to RNG their way through a tankbuster

you cover those with CDs

#

if you dont have enough CDs, find more

south zealot
#

if you parry its just a bonus

#

like 2nd boss of rlp

strong forum
#

that one is a bit special

south zealot
#

much more likely to parry 1/4 than 1/1

strong forum
#

cuz its a 4 part combo

#

yeah

#

you dont pre-use CDs there

#

you see how many stacks you get

#

and "react" accordingly

#

not like you got a choice either

#

cuz its a bleed

#

so the only thing we have is dwarf/evoker cleanse/bop/shieldwall

#

and then obv demoshout/IP/LS

south zealot
#

now this is a pull i can get behind

the trees got bolstered so big they were literally taller than the doorways keks

meanwhile our fear?

south zealot
#

incap is impressively weak

strong forum
#

nah sorry its target capped to 5

south zealot
#

even if it wasnt capped it would still be weak

strong forum
#

and if you want an uncapped version its also a knockback

south zealot
#

can get incorp with menace talent

strong forum
#

you can get incorp even without it

#

so

south zealot

i should say, u can solo it with just shout with menace talent

strong forum

?

south zealot

just incase you were running 5 warriors and 3 of them were afk

strong forum
#

stormbolt->kick->fear

#

is how i usually deal with it

#

if i have to

south zealot
#

yeah but then u cant use the sidearm choice node for more damage to the enemy you kick

#

wont have as much uptime

leaden shard

holy tech

south zealot

yes try it on next incorp week you will be very disappointed

leaden shard

LMAO

merry sluice

honestly

vengeance makes me sad

that's all

south zealot
#

why

merry sluice
#

i think that summarizes it well

south zealot
#

1st one isnt really a big deal

#

but yeah silence is really strong with how many kicks u need on every mob

ionic fern
#

The SIlence issue could be easily fixed.
Just give the mob a lock-out after being interrupted once.
Not this "oh, you interrupted me, let me re-cast instantly" crap.

violet ginkgo
#

oh yeah regarding that... isn't interrupt usually "Prevent cast from the same class spell for x secs." but why sometimes some mob can recast before that x secs expired?

south zealot
#

bc blizzard seems to think spamming kicks makes for fun difficulty

strong forum
south zealot
#

im pretty sure in all of the shadowlands dungeons, every single enemy in every single dungeon did something

#

some of them were just little baby tank busters that were irrelevant

#

but everything had some mechanic, and the majority of them had to be stopped

#

its just not a fun source of difficulty imo

merry sluice
south zealot
#

this is another pull i can get behind

merry sluice
#

tsk cuts too soon

#

i wanted to see how giant the frogs got xD

south zealot
#

not that big bc the dps ended up dying and needed to get brez after a couple thing died

#

so a handful of bolstering wore off by the time the pack died

merry sluice
#

aww, rip

#

no super emga frogs of death

first ever +400k

in AA 14

but doenst count with aug?

#

and i droped my anvil like 10 times xdd

jagged pier
#

u would need to log it to find out

#

how much u actually did

rigid hull
#

oh ok

#

let me do that

unkempt hazel
#

bro did more overall than I do on dps

rigid hull
#

damn bruh

jagged pier
#

yep

rigid hull
#

w8 wrong log

#

nahhhh holup

unkempt hazel
#

tbf

#

my details are always off compared to logs

jagged pier
#

because it will be details has SR damage logs doesnt

#

etc

#

but logs is always more accurate

rigid hull
unkempt hazel
#

I mean like

#

had a log with no priests or augs, yet in logs everyone did ~50k less overall

jagged pier
#

yer it will do

#

theres lots of damage u do that isnt damage or removed for reasons on logs etc

#

but logs is literally just the game data

unkempt hazel
#

the update interval on details does not affect it in any way right

jagged pier
#

nah

unkempt hazel
#

aight, just makin sure

jagged pier
#

u will find details like your person details will swing in your favour

#

not sure how or why

🤷

unkempt hazel

was just weird to see ngl

Guys what do you think about the all totem master trinket? Since i cant sim the def value of it, does someone use it?

blazing condor
#

Its a pretty good trinket in m+ specifically

#

Does good damage

rigid hull
blazing condor
#

If you were to go for a dps trinket for m+ most ppl will go anvil/grieftorch/alltotem

sand pebble
#

wee arent using trinkets for defensive purposes

jagged pier
# rigid hull 💀

well technically its just the second to last but we arent dhs cant do the chains so u have to open all the doors

blazing condor
#

Well depends on the content you do

jagged pier
#

so u have to kill them all

blazing condor
#

I remember when you couldnt solo reliquary of souls

rigid hull
#

need that bulwark mog

blazing condor
#

That shit was ass having to pug for BT

jagged pier
#

just buy the modern one of AH

#

or get it from garrison

#

tho BT is easy anyways

#

🤷

rigid hull
blazing condor

Or run BT cus you get more stuff

it was not fun'

nocturne vine
#

Prolly heart is the way to go but i hate to lose dmg ahahah

#

Just dont know if it is good defensively

sand pebble
nocturne vine
#

Ye you prolly right

jagged pier
#

with enduring

nocturne vine
#

Im tired of chasing staks on anvil

#

😝

#

And it seems that totem is the best combo with enduring

sand pebble
#

it didnt perform as i hoped it would in ulda with a 5 stack the entire way

nocturne vine
#

Dmg wise

nocturne vine
#

But ye i feel you

sand pebble
#

its good damage yes but the down side is losing a 5 stack almost means any other trinket would have been better

nocturne vine
#

Prolly the shield from the heart on top of the pulsing dmg is better

#

Specially to push

nocturne vine
sand pebble
#

you dont use the shield defensively tho - you use it for damage - i prsonally like to pop it going into a pull to help with gathering and not being 1 shot from behind

#

if you actually want DR you use enduring

nocturne vine
#

So your best call to match the enduringv

#

(Im doing Kurog mythic tonight so i might be lucky without having to use a bullion)

nocturne vine
#

I feel treemouth is a little overkill

jagged pier
#

but if u want a defensive option that is the best one

nocturne vine
#

Thanks for the tips, ill give it a shot a couple of runs to check before spending the bullions

Hi un new in warrior protection

Someone have a video of the correct rotation in M+?

No we don't have it

there isnt really such a thing as correct rotation as what button u press next depends on the situation u are in the rage u have etc etc

Does Gholak's shadowflame dmg increase vault ring proc rate significantly?

jagged pier

i mean it will proc the ring so if u dont have gholaks your ring will on average do less as u wont porc the ring as much

#

significantly 🤷 cant say

#

but u should have gholaks anyway its by far our best wep

astral thorn

I understand... but I'm not prot main, that's why

its that good that if you ever tank, you want it

hearty stump
#

Quick question about Melissandra in RLP. Is it just prot warriors that have a bit of trouble with her? Or is it every tank? Or is it just me?

plush tendon
#

but spell block is goated

south zealot
#

its a hard tank boss in general

hearty stump
#

Yeah, whenever spell block is active it's fairly cheese but

leaden shard
#

think the only tank that gets away with it is bdk

hearty stump
#

other than that, just a bit of misshap with defensives and it's like.. you plummet.

south zealot
#

just need to reflect on cd

#

use dstance if you need it

hearty stump
plush tendon
#

wheres that meme of the VDH running into RLP saying 'first RLP of the season' and gets one tapped by that boss

hearty stump
south zealot
plush tendon
#

that first hit from her is a train

south zealot
#

melee and cast in 0.1 seconds insta dead

plush tendon
#

I personally think shes the hardest fight in FLP

#

second boss is pretty rinse and repeat

#

and third boss.... if you know how to position in p1 its pretty simple

#

and p2.... well you are dead anyways if you dont pop all your big buttons when you get fire

south zealot
#

2nd boss is hard if your healer refuses to heal you

plush tendon
south zealot
#

idk why but sometimes i just do not get healed at all on that fight

hearty stump
south zealot
#

but yeah with a good cd rotation youre chilling

plush tendon
plush tendon
#

if you face your character to it

hearty stump
#

that's why they're wondering if it's a prot war thing

plush tendon
#

the damage on 2nd boss varies based on your parrys

#

1-2 stacks of the bleed is chill

#

3-4 not as chill

south zealot
#

vdh will basically never need healing on that boss

plush tendon
#

pop a CD when you have 3-4 or dwarf

south zealot
#

even if they get 4 stacks which is highly unlikely, they have spikes and meta up for every single one

#

so u are just fine

plush tendon
#

spikes doesnt work for it

hearty stump
#

Are we still talking about melissandra?

plush tendon
#

idk anymore

south zealot
#

oh based on what you replied to i thought you meant 2nd

#

mb

plush tendon
#

Prot War doesnt need direct heals on any of the fights

hearty stump
#

I guess I'm just not managing my defensives correctly there

#

Since if I'm having issues on a 14, what do you do on a 18

plush tendon
#

a couple of hots, proper CD usage, jumping into D-Stance goes a long way

hearty stump
#

I mean I'm always in Dstance and you do get passive healing

#

So I presume it's defensive management

south zealot
#

shield wall is a minute cd

#

so you can use it often

hearty stump
#

yeah, I tend to drop shield wall and demo shout relatively often

#

since cdrs

leaden shard
#

i think what helped me was knowing that during chillstorm she casts 3-4 shards in a row, so a wall/spell block during that is pretty ideal since it's also removing most of the aoe damage thats coming in at the same time

onyx vale
#

is grieftorch a right pick ?

plush tendon
#

it aint a bad pick

#

theres no real right pick

onyx vale
#

just wondering if I should pick it over fyrak

jagged pier
#

Well the fryakk teinkets arent even our best options for anything

south zealot
#

grieftorch does good damage

#

more if ppl die

#

downside is that you cant block or parry whileusing

#

so need to know when to use it safely

astral thorn
#

Im enjoying augury

south zealot
jagged pier
#

everything else doing like 5-8% less damage

astral thorn
#

i don't think it's that bad... crit amounts to something.

lusty grotto
#

not more than primary stat

#

its ok, there are better

jagged pier
#

thats why i said 5-8%

#

u loose like 8% strength with quick maths

#

or i would if i used augrary

#

cba calulating the crit

astral thorn
#

augury adds about 5% crit

south zealot
#

augury is good damage its just not the absolute best, there are better options

lusty grotto
#

yup

#

and its way too rng

plush tendon
#

benefit of Augury... its passive

south zealot
#

yeah if u want a completely passive setup for whatever reason, all totem and augury will do pretty large da,

#

dam

#

have the benefit of not even worrying about combat with something like signet brand

plush tendon
#

My setup is All-Totem+Dreadplate

south zealot
#

all totem owns the more i use it

#

the haste it gives is sick

plush tendon
#

Im also just doing chill keys like 11-12 range

#

dont really wanna think about Anvil

jagged pier
#

i dont

#

i loose it i looseit

i torch everything else

even if you lose it multiple times it still owns

so thats based

id say the problem is with you since you dont trust an 11 year old site called warcraftlogs over discord

but i could be wrong

grim pilot
#

did I miss something

#

is bsv good

pallid quiver
#

You'll certainly proc it a lot without any block uptime

#

So you'll get value out of it

#

But you're also more at risk of dying from no block, so

#

That fellow has one block uptime talent out of 4

#

BSV now works retroactively on damage if you haven't heard, DK Necropolis style,

south zealot
#

it functions properly

pallid quiver
#

So it's lik

#

yeah that

south zealot
#

that guy is griefing bc he wont have enough sb uptime

#

and the wrong shield wall talent

#

wait dude ninurta is using that

pallid quiver
#

You do need to compensate for the loss of Shield Charge block talent, though, usually by grabbing Bolster

south zealot
#

LMAO

pallid quiver
#

i don't know who that is, but i assume they push higher keys

south zealot
#

just know his name bc hes always been higher io than me this season

merry sluice
#

my new trend i hate

#

in my bh keys

#

Ranged dps standing max range baiting slime spawns a light year away and maing zeor effort to bring them in or cc, or interrupt the casts

#

a real fun one

dusky canopy
merry sluice
#

so i wont play the game on reckless weeks understood

dusky canopy
#

My guess is Attuned is actually going to be the worst for warrior

#

Bleed is great

merry sluice
#

spiteful...
that's the +7 affix they get rid of?

not bolstering?
or double fortified i mean sanguine?

soemtimes i wonder if we're actually playing the same game as the devs

dusky canopy
#

But magic damage increase sucks a lot

#

If the key is high enough

merry sluice
#

ngl i already hated like a third of the affixes we have now

Now i hate most of them in tww, and the dungeon pool

deadge

south zealot
#

dude i havent heard a single positive take on these affixes

#

what if we're all wrong

#

what if this is the best

dusky canopy
#

What I don’t like about it is the positive side boosts demon hunter like every week basically

#

Most forms of damage benefit from DH buff

south zealot
#

chaos damage and radiant or whatever the fuck its called

#

is like all types of damage

#

whatever the enemyis weakest to?

#

right

#

or am i making shit up for free

pallid quiver
#

I'll ball with them; they're completely wacko and not at all what I thought the game needed

plush path

@lusty grotto

pallid quiver
#

but "Hey kids, just stock up on Arcane Mages and Boomies this week, specs are balanced 🙂 "

pallid quiver
#

10/10

south zealot
#

im open to trying something

#

but like

#

please just remove sanguine

#

PLEASE man

dusky canopy
#

Tbf I’m happy to take these new ones instead of the ones they “retired”

south zealot
#

sanguine isnt fun

#

nobody likes tanking it

dusky canopy
#

Sanguine and bolstering both suck yeah

south zealot
#

nobody likes when mobs are stuyck in sanguine bc they have an 8 second channcel you cant stop in any way

#

noboy likes how much time a couple sanguine ticks waste

pallid quiver
#

I think the reason they picked the +7 affixes they did was to try and keep the affixes that aren't entirely trivialized/unable to be interacted with by some specs/talents, while also removing affixes that, ultimately, didn't affect too much, like storming

south zealot
#

ppl have been asking for less oppressive affixes/straight up positive affixes for a long time

#

and they just said fuck you and removed the easy affixes

pallid quiver
#

They want you to have to play around +7 affixes, but not like have "Shaman drop poison totem, warrior pee on a bed"

#

I think the intent behind what they wanted is clear,

but things like Sanguine just suck ass as a whole

south zealot
#

people dont play sanguine/bolstering

#

they are basically dead weeks

dusky canopy
#

Entangling volcanic instead of bolstering sanguine

south zealot
#

they are forcing ppl to play affixes that are historically skipped

#

bc they arent fun to interact with
