Fury not S tier?

#

bad tierlist, someone doesnt play the game fr fr

merry sluice
#

dude due dont evne get me started lol
it was only a 15 + bolstering so i decided to play it save, pulled the Pat as soon as possible, as far from the pack on the weapon

#

evoker decides its not good enough, fucking walks awya from the pull, runs face first into the pack ont he weapon, pulls it, makes no effort to even knock the archers towards us

#

and infact, knocked them AWAY so we had one off in narnia, the other in a different fucking key practically, and everyone dead

Anyone else having problem getting bullions? It's supposed to be a buy week but I did 2 LFR Bosses this week and 2 normal bosses last week and ive got 0 bullions

waxen frigate
#

It’s rng

#

4 bosses isn’t enough to guarantee at all

crystal iris
#

I usually got them all on the first boss all season

merry sluice
crystal iris
#

the rest of the raid got theirs even 2x sometimes

waxen frigate
#

I’ve seen it take 12 bosses for some people to get 1

crystal iris
#

how is that not a bug thats crazy

#

every week i log in, do 1 LFR boss for my bullion and leave group

#

and everybody else got theirs too

#

there we go one normal boss and boss dropped

#

myth Gholak or Myth Shield?

waxen frigate
#

Gholak

crystal iris
#

ye probably

#

wish it was 535

#

I love going this many weeks without getting a tank trinket on heroic despite doing the raids every single week. Then my druid gets dreadplates and tainted rageheart back to back.

lusty grotto
#

why would you hope for a tank trinket

#

just buy them

#

outside of treemouth

merry sluice
#

Not me trying DOTI every week and never getting it on my prot paladin

Hopping in on my warrior once and getting hero track cheat e.e

#

That was a while ago now but I’m still annoyed

lusty grotto
#

lol

round pendant
#

Fury above Arms yikes

#

ok that tierlist was ages ago and discord just didn't say that

lusty grotto
#

its a tier list

#

since when do we take those seriously

#

they are always a meme

#

also... arms is super slow in tww

merry sluice
#

Well duh

#

They’re arms

#

Not legs

fluid bobcat
#

🤣

fluid bobcat
#

Having 'a' other tank trinket would just be nice

lusty grotto
#

shouldnt you have like 6 buys

#

at this point

fluid bobcat
#

I mean I'm literally wearing 7 pieces

#

Rings, weapon, shield, cape, 2 damage trinks

lusty grotto
#

are you a fury main

#

or arms?

#

cause cape is... oof

#

no bueno for keys

#

for any of our specs really

fluid bobcat
#

I don't need the stam

lusty grotto
#

its garbage though

#

it procs once per key

fluid bobcat
#

ok

lusty grotto
#

i figured you were dps raider, that's the only reason to maybe get it

#

cant really sac stam for key pushing, its really bad

#

for a once a key proc

fluid bobcat
#

I mean I do more than just tank keys so

lusty grotto
#

ah well

#

ive yet to buy the cloak on any of my 3 chars

#

and i do raid mythic

#

on 2 of them

#

probably my last buy on my ret paladin before hes retired until tww

fluid bobcat
#

I’ve done plenty of mythic raiding in the past

#

I’ve been out of practice for a while. Finally hitting the point where I’m competent again.

lusty grotto
#

lul

fluid bobcat
#

Yeah I don’t have a myth cape drop

lusty grotto
#

i still use crafted over it

#

on my warrior

fluid bobcat
#

Ahh

lusty grotto
#

def never buying the cloak though

#

on it

fluid bobcat
#

I’m still trying to build a community with people actually interested in prog. Takes a while. Ranking in raids isn’t as fun as keys tho

lusty grotto
#

only on ret paladin and for myth reclears, if they happen cause im kinda done with DF

merry sluice
#

ah, I love chickens

fluid bobcat
#

It’s kinda messed up there isn’t an ignore pain tracker with standard UI.

#

Considering how important it is.

#

I’ve had more than one person tell me to macro it to shield slam. I’m like… dude.

lusty grotto
#

not needed

#

we dont track it

#

its a rage dump

#

the only thing you track is shield block

fluid bobcat
#

Well I track it

lusty grotto
#

well

#

its not needed

#

cause you just send it over 60 rage

#

thats it

merry sluice
#

if you're playing properly there is genuinely no reason to track it

#

so there's not really been a push to get a proper way to track it

lusty grotto
#

even if they are not playing properly

#

the only thing that matters is shield block

merry sluice
#

well going out their way to track it would imply they're overprioritizing it, which is not playing properly, hence why i worded it that way

lusty grotto
#

i see

merry sluice
#

but yes, you're right

fluid bobcat

Lol

as you should be, ignore pain scales off mental ineptitude. think about it, if you do not have the ability to process pain, you're a better tank

Wtf lol

lusty grotto
fluid bobcat
#

Ok

Gottem

strong forum
#

What happened here

#

Okay just make it clear

#

Tracking IP is not bad, I also track IP, it's important to know if you have a full IP banked up for a mechanic or not

#

It's not SUPER IMPORTANT to track, as you spam the fuck out of it regularly yes

#

But there's still a decision making process in having it tracked.

It's not your top priority to have it up, but it is useful information to have available

#

Hence why in my UI, its a small tracker, but with changing colour, above my health (tracking duration imo is not important cuz you sure as shit don't go full 12 seconds without pressing IP)

#

siren
Lots of text with little meaning.

IP tracking = good, but not top prio

bleak breach
#

I definitely track it too

#

If I’m running low and getting smashed I blow shield wall or last stand

bleak breach
lusty grotto
#

the reason i always tell people not to track it is that they make it a priority

#

its easier to say "there's no need"

#

99% of these players think IP is our main AM

#

i haven't been wrong yet

#

also at the point these players are, they sure as shit dont need banked IPs

#

which will undoubtedly be full anyway with proper play and at their content level

#

and then you gotta explain that you still hit IP even when the IP absorb is capped

strong forum
#

It's the one in my WA pack, which will be updated again when 11.0 releases as Blizzard is changing some things in the lua code so my IP weakaura has to be updated

bleak breach
#

Interesting, I will have to find it

#

I run one just above my cast bar for ip, sudden death and violent outburst or whatever it’s called plus current tier

#

Action bars sorry

lusty grotto
#

case in point

#

but at the very least, i know Sokraxx its not like the typical warrior that asks about tracking IP

#

and understands the use of it

bleak breach
#

Yeah, can’t honestly say I actively track it anyway

lusty grotto
#

i personally disable Nome's tracker

bleak breach
#

Just if I know I’ve got a tank buster coming and got none up

lusty grotto
#

and just run Naowh's absorb number and never look at it until i know i will 100% need it

#

tracking punish might be more important

#

(:

bleak breach
#

It’s one for me I rarely need, but is very handy when I do.

#

Punish is the SS debuff yeah?

lusty grotto
#

though punish handles itself if you hit every reset

bleak breach
#

I just look at bosses head

lusty grotto
#

right

#

but for new prots

#

it might enforce better play

#

since you need to hit SS for it

#

enforce/promote, etc

bleak breach
#

Yeah that’s fair

#

I find the more WA the better aslong as you’re not clogging your screen, can never hurt to track an important buff/debuff

lusty grotto
#

i dont

#

i think overtracking is more harmful to players

#

than what people realize

bleak breach
#

Aslong as they’re important it’s ok

#

I think I have 4 I actively track, maybe 5?

#

SB, IP, Sudden death, violent outburst and their set, only other is really consider adding would be punish, but I’ve got that in a spot where I see it anyway

lusty grotto
#

WAs + Omnicd

#

there's a lot thats defaulted that's absolutely not needed

bleak breach
#

I tried using that Omni cd thing and couldn’t work it out so deleted it

#

Might give it another try someday, but it just flooded my screen with stuff

lusty grotto
#

and its not just that it clutters the screen, overtracking is really bad

#

like do you need to know people's personals?

#

you dont

#

just download a clean omnicd profile

#

that removes half of that crap

#

if not more

bleak breach
#

That’s fair, I will have to have a better look into it

#

I sort of just got told it was good, downloaded it and was like what is all this? Then deleted it because I had no idea

lusty grotto
#

the best thing you can do

#

is turn everything off

#

and then start turning on what you need

#

kicks? turn on

#

stops? turn on

#

dps cds? turn on

#

healer cds / group defensives? turn on

#

rest? turn off

#

or toggle those if you dont care

bleak breach
#

Might have a play around with it later. Had a few months off wow, but guild wants me back in prep for TWW so will have a look into it

lusty grotto
#

my raid profile has absolutely NOTHING lol

#

except group cds

#

i.e. rally/darkness/VE etc and healer cds

crystal iris
#

OCD is great if you put like 15 min I to it

#

In keys I have like 3 things I track per DPS / healer

#

Major CD, défensives, stops and health pot

#

And the health pot and défensives is just because I use it to heal too

#

And I like seeing if they used a defensive before dying 🙂

#

Prot feels amazing right now

#

Just give me Brez / lust and we’d be perfect

merry sluice
#

i have nome's tracker disabled bc even when updated, wa will spam me with errors unless I turn off the IP tracker
SO i dont really have a choice either way

#

the res tworks fine but not the IP

sonic terrace
#

Ok I keep dying on the bridge area from halls because of the dragon. How are yall surviving that breath +13. Fort week

lusty grotto
#

outrun it

#

very simple to do so

sonic terrace
#

Before last boss?

ionic fern
#

Yes.

lusty grotto
#

and either spell reflect or spell block the ice callers

ionic fern
#

Well, any dragon in that dungeon.

sonic terrace
#

I do it on the others but that bridge is just death

ionic fern
#

Just keep Spell Block / Shield Wall for it then if you don't want to / can't move out of the way of the breath.

#

Should be a breeze.

lusty grotto
#

you can spell block it

ionic fern
#

It's a boss fight before that, and you don't really need either of those abilities on that boss on a 13 fortified.

jagged gust
#

just make sure your group knows that you need to outdistance the dragon first

ionic fern
#

You can also just keep running left/right.

lusty grotto
#

just spell block it for the bridge/gauntlet

#

and/or wall and/or treemouth

#

ideally not all at the same time

sonic terrace
#

Mmm ok ok ill try to tell the range to stay supper range so I can just run that way during breath

#

Also spell block for that

#

This week just smacking me

lusty grotto
#

spell block lasts for a long long time

#

just make sure you have shield block up during it

#

(as you should anyway)

sonic terrace
#

At once it was just cluster fuck . Aoe stun from earth guy+entangle+wave+ breath

pallid quiver
#

shield block for cowards and wimps, gotta get that 50% DR from IP

lusty grotto
#

lmao

#

i mean a stun can kill you since you cant block during it

#

so

#

should be easy to move out of, that shouldn't be a problem

copper minnow
#

So maining prot war this season for m+. If i wanted to offspec arms or fury, what would be better statwise? Dont want to regem/reenchat things just want to play whats most compatible

lusty grotto
#

arms

#

high haste required for arms

#

and low crit

#

perfect stats for prot

copper minnow
#

i thought arms used to love crit

lusty grotto
#

yes but tier

#

read arms tier

copper minnow
#

Oh i see

lusty grotto
#

arms is usually crit>haste>everything but tier this season makes a small change

copper minnow
#

So my high haste and vers is pretty useful id say

lusty grotto
#

vers, not so much

#

its ok

#

read the pins

#

those are the same stats you will go as arms this season

#

here you go

#

anything that sims well for arms will be great for prot

#

and vice versa

#

due to arms tier

#

btw, that does not mean vers and crit are bad, all stats are pretty good for prot

#

crit is just a little bit better

#

and has been for the entire exp

copper minnow
#

ty

#

ill look into trying out arms, been a while for me

half hornet
#

is dungeon slice okay for arms to sim or naw?

ionic fern
half hornet
#

sorry for the missed text. But on a prot note I was just in a 15 aa on the first big pull and I was desperate for a defensive and killed myself with splinter....

vale bolt
jagged pier
#

prot wants crit now

#

and has for years

vale bolt
jagged pier
#

he said nothing wrong prot wants high haste and less crit pn pieces

#

which is the same as arms

vale bolt
#

I see, I misread that then, my apologies

#

I stack crit and haste to like 40% anyway coz I like crit and haste

foggy ravine
#

ne 1 know where i can find a WA that changes like a progress bar on ignore pain to a different color when im above like 80%

earnest cove
#

You can do that with any bar Type IP tracker in the conditions tab. But it is of no use at all. You will overcap anyway if you have to burn rage

vale bolt
#

Just FYI for anyone that wants to trim a keybind, I made and tested this macro and it works quite well

#showtooltip

/cast Shield Charge
/cast Charge

jagged pier
#

no

vale bolt
#

Lol

jagged pier
#

charge and shield charge are different case abilities

#

u dont use shield charge to charge

#

so thats a dumb macro

vale bolt
#

I do

#

All the time

jagged pier
#

then you're using it wrong

#

🤷

vale bolt
#

I use it on cd. Which is exactly why I use it on pull

jagged pier
#

it is ither a dps button so u use it after CDs are used

#

or

#

u use it as a stop

#

hence u save it for when u need to stop a cast etc

#

in both cases u dont use it until u are in combat

vale bolt
#

Funny because a few months ago I was told by someone on this discord to use it on CD

jagged pier
#

u still us it on cd

vale bolt
#

Ok please tell me when you are charging NOT in combat?

surreal birch
jagged pier
#

around those cses

#

but u still use it on cd as a dps button

#

as it line up with avatar and demo a lot

#

if u just send it to charge

#

thats pointless

vale bolt
#

Ok so use it on cd but also use it to stun. This is conflicting information

#

I don't get this tbh. you are saying that if I use it as a combat initiator it is bad, but then I must use it when in combat on cd?

jagged pier
#

if u use is as an initiator u loose the extra rage charge gives u

#

and it will do less damage

#

as u wont use it with avatar and or demo shout debuff up

vale bolt
#

I use avatar and demo while charging to my target anyway

#

Like just before I get to the enemy I press them

jagged pier
#

right so demo isnt hiiting half the mobs

surreal birch
#

I see on sims that Augur is once again good, should I change grief/signet for it mostly looking at raids and maybe pading in "lower" keys

jagged pier
#

so your wasting that too

median tulip
vale bolt
#

Yes....?

jagged pier
#

to some mobs not all if u using it mid charge

vale bolt
#

I don't use it at the start of the charge lol. I use it just before I get to the mob

jagged pier
#

your using both kinda wrong but honestly i dont pay your sub so u do u

#

u can use avatar mif charge tho

ionic fern
#

Je, Jakey is only paying my sub, so i gotta do what he tells me to.

jagged pier
#

i wish cause then id make u tank my m+'s

#

not even that, maybe we would actually play together sadge like the few keys in SLs

blazing condor
#

pwarrs playing together is so 3 years ago

#

i've been doing steam summer sales

#

and just, other games that arent wow

#

added dozen games so far

waxen frigate
#

I’m in my zoomer yogi era playing early 2010s games again

#

Max Payne 3, Assassins Creed 3, Mafia, Mass Effect

tribal wharf
#

probably gunna get more

waxen frigate
#

On the sale I bought;
Dragon Age Inquisition, Sleeping Dogs Remastered, Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor, Middle Earth Shadow of War, DOOM, Control, Assassin’s Creed 3

tribal wharf
#

i dunno how else to put it, i enjoy single player games with gun, not so many buttons in that or they alwys stay the same and do basically the same thing

#

wasd to move space to jump e to use, LMB to shoot, RMB to secondary function/aim

waxen frigate
#

Have you played some of the newer boomer shooters

#

As in like the revival of that sort of game

#

Trepang, Selaco, etc

tribal wharf
#

selaco is on that screen shot, but i suck at it

waxen frigate
#

Oh ye I see it now on the right

tribal wharf
#

civvie shillaco'd it on me so i had to

waxen frigate
#

Literally just type “boomer shooter” into steam and it should come up as a tag

tribal wharf
#

shillacoomed, sorry, character is a girl and there is an obvious coom room in first lvl lol

waxen frigate
#

I’m sure you can find stuff there

#

Tbh the max Payne games are definitely different from the stuff you play but maybe your speed still

#

Super fun, straightforward linear third person shooters

tribal wharf
#

i did indeed play the shit out of max payne, i had a whole phase here where i was quoting it every day year or 2 ago

waxen frigate
#

Lmao

#

I’ve only played the third but remember watching my stepdad play the first and second when I was really young

#

Can’t wait for the remakes

#

MP3 is the absolute peak of third person shooters imo

tribal wharf
#

civvie11's latest video is on MP1

waxen frigate
#

Also if you like the old fallouts it’s worth checking out wasteland 2/3

tribal wharf
#

bless that man, truly doing the lords work, as me a pc gamer

#

beat the game on hard

jagged gust
waxen frigate
#

Yeah I’ve played it before

#

Fun game, just need to get out of the hinterlands

#

Absolute worst starting zone ever

jagged gust
#

Also they pulled the same camera trick devs have been doing for ages, the sprint option didn't actually change your run speed, just changed the camera

#

So getting out feels like it takes forever

hearty stump
#

Is this week a bit of a skip week in m+?

lusty grotto
#

yea

tribal wharf
#

oblivion was and is way too over hyped i think whole series

#

when it was coming out, nobody would shut the fuck up about how great this game was

#

and then i got it and played it, and i thought it wasn't as good as people were describing it

jagged gust
#

The final week of fortified and it's a skip

lusty grotto
#

season isnt ending though

#

but

#

all of the fort weeks are skips

jagged gust
#

You mean elder scrolls yogi?

jagged pier
#

how do we know its the last fort week?

lusty grotto
#

next week is okay for tyr, next few are skips

jagged pier
#

when we dont know when S4 is ending

tribal wharf
#

elderscrolls isnt a bad game no

#

but compared to how people were describing it, i though it was ass

#

sort of the same problem 3d fallout games (even though i just bought pretty much all of them)

lusty grotto
#

all of the fort weeks until mid august, which is well after prepatch are pretty much skips

#

just fort bolstering, fort raging, fort sanguine

jagged gust
#

I successfully called the exact date that S3 was ending, I'm trying 2 for 2

lusty grotto
#

fort raging being the most manageable

#

but still no bueno for some dungeons

jagged pier
#

im just saying if S4 was ending the reset after next

jagged gust
#

Oh yeah, in that regard oblivion is very muched talked about through rose tinted nostalgia goggles

jagged pier
#

we would know about it by now

tribal wharf
#

im just still mad that mists and necrotic wake coming back

jagged pier
#

they gave us 4 weeks notice last time

#

or 3

tribal wharf
#

and some other dungeon i hate is also coming back i think

lusty grotto
#

there did a wowhead post about it

#

20h ago

tribal wharf
#

oh ya, siege of boralus

#

siege isnt as bad as throne of the tides

#

but its close

#

further you go into siege the more it rachets up the difficulty

lusty grotto
#

a bit strange considering that fated didnt close out the season until after prepatch, but i may be misremembering

#

either way not a big deal

jagged gust
#

What's y'all's thoughts on doing weekly vaults next xpac? In thinking it might be easier to just hop in to 12s and say screw affixes

lusty grotto
#

i havent really thought about it

#

i like M+ so i always try to push regardless

#

but if i wasn't, im not sure which route i would take

crystal iris
#

I liked Mists and NW

#

NW was actually one of my favorite keys in SL

#

The weapons made it super fun

#

but the last boss was super long

dusky canopy
#

Seems like some of the affixes will speed up the dungeon if anything

hearty stump
dusky canopy
#

No 10 adds both

#

And 12 adds an extra 20% health/dam boost on top of the regular increase iirc

#

So it will still be significantly easier to do a 10 I would guess

hearty stump
#

rewards are the same though in vault?

dusky canopy
#

Rewards stop at 10 unless something changes

waxen frigate
#

Prepatch will fundamentally shake up so much

lusty grotto
#

yeah but season wasnt over

#

still counts kind of if people want to push

violet ginkgo
#

if the season end means... you only can't get rating? or we can't farm M+ for weekly vault either?

plush tendon
#

you can still do M+ for vaults

#

but wont be able to get title

#

theyll annouce when title is closed

crystal iris
#

i hate dead weeks

#

should just have season end same day the new expac launches

merry sluice
#

if its ending in like a week or two that's gonna be gross

#

bc that's so fucking long with a dead (er) season

plush tendon
#

glad we have no more M+ rotation in War Within

merry sluice
#

game already feels bleh to play in its current state, pre-patch does nothingto make me wanna paly more lol

plush tendon
#

honestly such a boon to not have to worry about affixes to figure out when to commit to the push

strong forum
#

title gets locked in

#

but you can still earn portals and score etc

good stats (oce is on haste)

waxen frigate
#

Where’s your speed

lusty grotto
#

we dont use oce

#

and we cant tell cause those are percents

sonic terrace
#

should i get rage heart? i already have stonescales?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

get a treemouth if you need a defensive one

#

though at this point, it doesnt matter

#

get whatever

violet ginkgo
#

Ahhh I see thx for the answer Nome.

dusky canopy
lusty grotto
#

anyway as long as you follow this

#

you should be fine on stats

#

and are prioritizing ilvl > all

sonic terrace
#

how can i show numbers instead of %

lusty grotto
#

you dont have to

#

we dont need to knoww

#

just hover over them and check

sonic terrace
#

kk

#

going to get rage heart for now

dusky canopy
#

You need atleast 7101 haste to be optimal

#

And 20% avoidance

lusty grotto
#

just make the adjustment if youre below 5400 haste

#

by swapping those talents

#

and follow this

trim condor
#

I didnt play prot warrior since S2 so maybe I was wrong, but hee has 30% uptime. This season, you can still have up to 90%, right?

#

he folded on every pull

lusty grotto
#

right

#

you're right

#

but i wouldnt tell people what to do in groups

trim condor
#

I dont like to giving advices to tanks as bm hunter, but was trying to help him in pulls

fickle tundra
#

And this warrior you found couldnt be more wrong about prot

plush tendon
#

I mean, Shield Block does have a CD

trim condor
#

I mean we couldnt do single pull, so I was trying to help 😄

plush tendon
#

its like 6 seconds, but it exists

trim condor
#

yeah, but I think he thought about shield wall

plush tendon
#

true, maybe he thought you were talking bout SW

#

ah well, kids a idiot

#

he'll figure out how to read at some point

trim condor
#

funny thing is, he had timed +13 runs. I am playing brewmaster and +13 would been no go with wrong playstyle. You can survive some pulls without block?

fickle tundra
#

he probably did those as dps

trim condor
#

oh wow true, youre right

#

didnt see that

fickle tundra
trim condor
#

it showed me +13 as tank

#

I guess outdated addon on my side

plush tendon
#

homie gots a lot of work to do to get better if he wants

fickle tundra
#

yeah the only way to kinda keep it updated is with the app companion running on the background

pallid quiver
#

I've seen some healers absolutely sweat a tank into living

lusty grotto
#

you can hard carry tanks to just about any level

limpid tide
#

Wait we actually use shield block? I thought ignore pain didn’t let me take damage.

lusty grotto
#

there are some 18 key prot warriors with abysmal SB uptime

#

i must have missed something, since when are we meme'ing with IPs

#

this isnt the first time today

limpid tide
jagged gust
#

Yesterday

lusty grotto
#

lol really

#

well, to be fair, that IP convo is recurring

#

im just glad the versa andy convo isnt recurring anymore since VDH rerollers are going straight haste crit

jagged gust
#

I'm 100% on your side of that debate

lusty grotto
#

so its likely more acceptable now

jagged pier

#

finally lets go

lusty grotto
blazing condor
#

time to get the mount and shit

tribal wharf
crystal iris
#

I mean its pretty hard to tank anything over an 8 without shield block

#

aint no way im doing 13s with no shield block, also sure CD but like, even if you just hit it twice on pull and shield charge youre doing better than someoneone trying to badly manage it

tribal wharf
#

ohhh this is the yogi special over 9000 mastery no casting SB build?

lusty grotto
#

some healers are just gods

tribal wharf
#

mastery and crit.... DUH

grim pilot
#

Even wirhout sb

tribal wharf
#

need to parry the hits you dont block

grim pilot

In these key lvls

idk I usually have enough rage to have full SB uptime and IP maxed out

tribal wharf
#

show parry mr yellow name

i mean shit though, if it was my way, storm bolt would hit like a truck, deathknights could get on horse in battle

lusty grotto
#

well yogi

does the wow armory page show Haste before or after howling rune

(when its right)

round pendant
#

vers sucks

#

arms owns

cerulean tusk
#

Versa is great, wdum? Stack it up and legendary go ham

lusty grotto
#

no meme, the only expansion/season where versa was good was last BFA season due to versatile corruption

#

and that's not saying much

#

its always been haste/crit

#

since forever, probably since this discord came to be

#

im glad VDHs became a thing though

#

because they showed tank fotm rerollers that versa is, in fact, not king

#

so at least there's an upside to the 2 season meta

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

well this discord wasnt around during mop

#

its skyhold after all 😉

#

legion

#

but marok/genshii could correct me if hes around (or vel and archim since they were here since then as well)

#

idk if it existed and got renamed, i joined in legion as well

#

pre-legion, it was all tankspot/wowhead/icyveins, and before that Ion's guild site Elitist Jerks

#

at least for me

pallid quiver
#

It came about in Legion iirc, for the discord

#

That's when Discord started being a thing at all, and when like all the class discords came into being iirc

lusty grotto
#

yeah pretty much why they're called like class halls

#

except one or two exceptions

#

acherus, fel hammer, dreamgrove, trueshot lounge, maelstorm, netherlight

#

the exceptions are the off-discords (like shaman's) and council of the black harvest, hammer of wrath, ravenholdt (this predates legion's class hall as a location), altered time, peak of serenity, wyrmrest temple, etc

#

but they were still created during legion, except for wyrmrest of course

round pendant
#

Discord being such an important resource is honestly shit

lusty grotto
#

yeah its kind of a shame they dont have shareable info, but i get why they dont open up the API for search sites

#

its a huge hit financially

#

especially with chatGPT and AI running rampant now

round pendant
#

Internet is getting more and more unusable so everyone's left for walled-off things as a result

#

which is fine but it's just not a good experience for finding up-to-date information on ANYTHING unless you happen to find a discord server for whatever it is

#

then you have to hope it's well managed and organised

lusty grotto
#

i dont think the internet is unusable, its people

#

people's tendencies and shift towards fast, quick information, straight from google or chatgpt

round pendant
#

I wanted to find bhop servers for counter-strike for some nostalgia and the server browser just wasn't showing any

#

had to find some community on youtube, go to their website, find the discord link, then find the random pin in a random channel

#

to join a good one

lusty grotto
#

thats not an internet problem

round pendant
#

like bruh

lusty grotto
#

thats a CS problem

round pendant
#

Yeah but the fact they don't put that shit on their website at LEAST

lusty grotto
#

i get what youre saying

#

if you could search in google discord's chat, for example, it would be easier

#

but that aint happening

#

the massive hit discord's backend servers and DBs would take for so many lines of chat, costs an insane amount of money

#

billions of dollars

round pendant
#

I fuckin hate this game sometimes

#

guess I can socket my ring

#

oh shit they're half price this season?

#

NICE

lusty grotto
#

yeah its 2 sockets

if you have 3 slots

#

in the vault

that's huge

Waiting for the day I can target acquire M+ loot with my vault

Two weeks of shit loot!?
Here buy these tokens with those two weeks of shit vaults and buy the trinket you want

lusty grotto

yeah that'd be sweet

blazing condor
#

only a few more weeks of shit loot anyway

#

I much prefer deterministic upgrades and lootings

#

I never liked vault for how rng it is

blazing condor

better than chest at least

lusty grotto

yeah lol

#

fuck the 1 chest

round pendant
#

yeah that was miserable

#

felt so unrewarding

blazing condor
#

at least you could eventually buy the azerite gear

#

but shit was mad expensive

lusty grotto

i was miserable in legion and bfa

#

i cant remember the season but i never got a shield in one of them

#

or several seasons

so sad this is Hero and not Myth

I do that but I've had people bitch at me for it

they're prob just bad ig

as long as youre not blocking the add youre fine

I hate this boss so much

lusty grotto

i love it

love the impossible to see lines that just kill you

lusty grotto

one of the best fights, especially in mythic

what do you like about it

lusty grotto
#

dodging lines

not a lot of accidental one shots

#

punishable, but recoverable

except if the myth add group people die for some reason

south zealot
#

that boss is so annoying

lusty grotto
#

i love it

south zealot

i wouldnt say its trash but its just not fun to do imo

lusty grotto

i hated it on prog

but on reclears, i enjoy it

lol we're melee

south zealot

ive done it like twice since prog so maybe that would change my opinion

lusty grotto

casters are the ones that are royally fucked

Does less people on tindral mean less soaks required?

wondering if it's best to just pug 2/3/9

no

just less damage taken by the stacks iirc

gotta form my own group now sadga

lusty grotto

its a shit boss

It's pretty chill as a tank

on heroic at least

lusty grotto

chill doesnt mean its not a shit boss

zealous goblet
round pendant
#

I kinda like it, get to pump damage on roots

lusty grotto
#

nah one of the worst bosses in there

round pendant
#

Why do you think so

lusty grotto
#

on heroic? because its boring

#

and its easy to fuck up

#

stay inside the big swirly that spawns the nadoes

#

and watch people panic

#

and then realize they dont take any damage

#

that, at least, is kinda funny

merry sluice
#

I just hate tingle bells bc I swear every time I tank him, my co tank, no matter who it is, misses one of the shrooms in at least one set, and they attempt to gaslight me into thinking I soaked one of their shrooms e.e

lusty grotto
#

also if youre "pumping damage on roots"

#

youre not in a good group lmao

round pendant
#

group was decent tbh

#

for a pug

merry sluice
#

The roots should be dead almost instantly in heroic if u have time to pump in them

lusty grotto
#

doesnt seem like it

They lived to long

lusty grotto

yea cherry

and 2 ret paladins

i didnt even go aoe talents on dps specs on it

absolutely not worth

when it was current

less so this season

round pendant
#

a few of them popped quickly but definitely not instantly lol

lusty grotto
#

well, thats a bad group

#

maybe they did mechanics correctly i guess

#

other mechanics

round pendant
#

0.4% wipe log

lusty grotto
#

but that kinda seems like bad dps

merry sluice
#

Oh yeah that too, no actual downside to using abilities to break out in heroic or lower (I should remember that since I used to paladin tank…)

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats meh dps

merry sluice
#

Early tindral on paladin was funny last season bc DONG but that’s the only upside

round pendant
lusty grotto
#

nah

round pendant
#

I don't get good damage puggers ever

merry sluice
#

Isn’t eu slightly higher i.o too? So I’d argue Americans worse

lusty grotto
#

cause its 2 weeks before the season ends

#

more or less

round pendant
#

I'm not just talking about now though

#

Throughout my entire history of pugging heroic raids

merry sluice
#

I mean

round pendant
#

There's usually 1 or 2 good dpsers and the rest are parsing green

lusty grotto

i mean

#

have you tried not insta inviting people

#

and checking their logs

round pendant
#

I don't!!

lusty grotto
#

well thats on you

merry sluice
#

Heroic pugs are always lowest common denominator. Bc those who care are either doing farming raids with their guild, progging mythic, or just done with heroic after the first couple weeks

round pendant
#

I usually check ilvl and curve, too lazy to check logs because that's a fucking chore unless you know an addon to let me copy wcl links easily

lusty grotto

curve???

#

you can buy curve

round pendant
#

ilvl, rio, curve

lusty grotto

#

I figure if they're 3k rating they can't be that bad at dps

#

usually wrong

merry sluice
#

Counter point

lusty grotto
#

yikes

i mean i pugged on my alts

round pendant
#

give me an addon that lets me right click WCL urls and I'll install that shit instantly

lusty grotto

i've had bad actors, but its NOT ALL THE TIME

r.io is the slowest website in existence and takes 30 seconds to load

30s per person

are you doing a 30 man or something

where is the wcl button anyway

oh

nvm

lusty grotto

when its not 30s, that's an exaggeration

It depends, during peak hours it randomly takes forever to load

lusty grotto

keep it open

#

copy paste on top of it

I'm certainly more interested now that I know there's a wcl button tho

lusty grotto

not on your address bar

use the eyeglass thing button on the bottom

HoI is not that bad though? but maybe the last area is a bit annoying because there is wave crashing in everytime.

okay giga quick question

#

prot warr , which race

#

raider io aint loading for me due some reasons

ionic fern
#

👀

#

Regardless, pick the one with the nicest mog.

#

Dwarf / Vulpera have solid racials for m+.

#

But it's nothing gamechanging honestly.

lusty plaza
#

and dwarves aint that teribble looking for me

#

i luv her ngl xd

lusty plaza
pallid quiver
#

The most notable one is Nose for Trouble or whatever; it adds up to actually a decent amount of damage prevented throughout a run

#

but it's not something that's going to really necessarily save your or anything, either, in most cases

#

The only racials with any remote capability for that is dorf racial for like bleeds or something, but that is extremely dependent on conditional dungeon design

#

And depending on how those bleeds/debuffs/etc might work, you could potentially even stop it from being put on in the first place with like a Tauren Stomp/Bullrush if they made it stoppable

lusty plaza
#

hard to pick :/

#

was thinkin if stoneskin can be a saviour in different situations , or tauran stop for some stops or vulpera for better surviving n tricks

Lore wise, horde reflects the true nature of a warrior, such as Orcs, Mag'har Orcs and Tauren. Alliance is just some weeb shit, like wtf "taste my pyroblast! "type of shit. Like who the fuck plays alliance and picks warrior.
