jagged pier
#

not as weird as that

#

alt easier than shift nah come on

dark barn
#

My rule is: if you spam use single acessible keys

toxic pewter
#

yeah thats wild to me lol, having an alt + 3 over a shift q or shit e

shell fox
#

alt 3 has been my defensive keybind since forever

#

cant change now, ill lose

jagged pier
#

so thats should be sheild wall then

dark barn
#

Maybe the guy play piano and everything is ez

jagged pier
#

as thats a defesive

#

SB is active mitigation

shell fox
#

shield wall is ALT V

toxic pewter
shell fox
#

another defensive keybind

jagged pier
#

LS is also a defensive

shell fox
#

hahaha

#

god bless gaming keyboards

#

ah, not at the SAME time

toxic pewter
#

truly interesting I will say lol

#

like say you have to strafe to the right (pressing D) you also cannot hit shield block well.. its not great situation

#

can open you up to bad situation

violet ginkgo
#

I mean... not related to your keybind but first time I heard SB is a defensive, it's like jakey said, your active mitigation which you want to press often. We usually use the term "defensive" for things that you use once in a while like Shield Wall/Spell Block/etc2.

shell fox
#

alt + E for charge

#

my warr is outdated since s1 so im gearing him up, i dont know why i have the trinket on alt + 5

toxic pewter
#

should use ~~T ~~G ~~F ~~V

jagged pier
#

he has f

dark barn
#

Alt + 5 is just impossible to me

#

Too far

toxic pewter
#

also not using 5

dark barn
#

Alt Q for thunderclap is just too much trouble for a spam

#

I use Q for SL and E for TC

#

Just the easiest keys

shell fox
#

this is the keyboard i have, its easier than it seems

jagged pier
#

4 binds should be easy SB SS TC and IP

#

thats shift looks pretty easy to hit to me

shell fox
#

yeah

dark barn
#

My ignore pain is on middle button of mouse

#

I spend 0.1 ms to click lol

shell fox
#

lol, my middle button of mouse is mount

dark barn
#

Thats a HUGE waste of a easy keybind

shell fox
#

i agree but ive been using it since wrath of the lich king

#

cant change now

In less than 1 week you can change your muscular memory. Dont understimate your brain

I once tried to remove my S as a backpedal

#

imagine a living being dying to simple packs because of that

jagged pier
#

no as tank backpedal is good

#

keep it

shell fox
#

i had to use my A or D to move back

toxic pewter
#

yah theres no shame in backpeddaling in pve imo

high lava
#

Came back to this just now but the advice of it being “unique to you” is solid I’ll keep playing with it till its second nature. As for the guy who sent his key binds I hadn’t ever considered binding anything to q or e somehow so I’ll absolutely be using that lmao

shell belfry
#

Does Blocking affect ranged attacks? I keep reading it does and in some places it says it doesn’t. The search in this discord doesn’t exactly answer it either so I’ll just ask in plain. Also does spell block affect both ranged and melee spell hits?

strong forum
#

it does affect ranged attacks, like an arrow being shot and stuff

#

physical attacks

#

and spell block well, blocks spells!

#

of all kind

#

except debuffs

strong forum
#

oh so thats why i keep getting threat in retail

#

cuz they cant do either

spring cedar
#

just a quick qustion: are we doing (live) less damage than in S4?

#

its feelycraft a bit

#

but feels that way

strong forum
#

no we do more

#

cuz in pre-patch you have alot more secondary stats

#

than we did in s4

#

they bumped up how much secondary stats there are on gear

#

so you should be doing more damage

spring cedar
#

legit thought we were, was just a feeling I had in some dungeons

#

no way to back this up with data

#

regardless, prot warriot tww stronk

strong forum
#

genuienly dont know

#

i cannot tell if our dmg is good or not on beta

spring cedar
#

idk either, never set foot there

toxic pewter
#

Damage is low on beta if I say so myself

spring cedar
#

from what I see people talking, seems that vorrior is middle of the pack

#

which, tbh, is quite ok to me

patent osprey
toxic pewter
#

sense already released his spell reflect/block spreadsheet its in the pins in the beta channel

spring cedar
#

wont that be a "reason" to nerf other abilities, because "prot warriors are doing so much damage", but in reality is good usage of SR?

#

or not nerf, but keep them "low"

Hey guys new to the tanking scene, is there a website like questionlyepic (for healers) but for tanks? I know raidbots just does Damage, but is there a way to find best tanking gear? Or is it just ilvl then go from there

Wowhead article about the spec

strong forum
#

you cant sim tankiness

#

you get tankiness from playing well

#

not from anything else

#

for tanking you simply follow the general rule of thumb stat prio

#

and then go from there

#

Ok. Cool

#

Just wanted to make sure

#

In theory, you could sim tankiness, by building a model of the fight. Then have it sim you taking damage peepostudy So you can, it just aint worth the effort

strong forum
#

correct

#

you could sim everything but youd need to model each individual encounter

#

i mean, you can, but its like doing taxes,

really complicated, and the irs KNOWS already how much you made, just they wont tell you

not a fun thing to scientifically calculate surivival and healing needed to "cheese" a tank through a fight

# strong forum and reflect never works in raid

Oh yeah speaking of this it's only deflect right.
Is there any instance sometime where they allow it to reflect damage back to boss then "Oh shoot this is bad idea." then change it to only deflect during raid?

There must be reason they don't allow reflect on raid boss.

strong forum
#

every single raid testing

#

ever

#

they change from reflect -> deflect/nothing

#

98% of reflects in raid get turned into not working besides the magic reduction during the raid test period

tribal wharf
#

when we had WCM i deflected something off witches ish room

#

probably on witches

#

and we went over it at length but i cant recall details now

cerulean tusk
#

peepostudy why didnt you just reflect the bolt?

tribal wharf
#

i wanna say it was the thorns i deflected

cerulean tusk

Damn... this is upsetting why we are not allowed to have fun with reflect on raid? (actually reflecting the damage back, not just deflect)

#

Worst timeline is this: It is reflectable, but only 1 instance is reflected. So all the warriors scream at eachother

#

"STOP STEALING MY DPS, REEEEE!" followed by guild disband and pipebombs in emails

violet ginkgo
#

that happened? Now I want to hear the full story

tribal wharf
#

i have serious depression from "DONT FUCKING KICK IT IM GOING TO REFLECT IT REEE" >>> kicked anyways

#

like a bazillion times

#

and basically gave up on sucesfully reflecting

#

WCM was a clear example of this

#

cuz its like, one in... about 2.5? casts you can reflect fairly regularly

#

and i've tried explaining that to pugs, and to watch for the reflect icon.... active witch gets kicked with it up anyways....

#

cuz like, im totally at the reflect timers and the dps kicking ability mercy

#

and i just have to PRAY that it does go off, on me and then back at enemy

vocal cave
#

just get yourself full caster team

#

they cant be bothered to interrupt

tribal wharf
#

nahhhh

#

the real reason for that is they all get +6 to +8 additional second CD on "kicks", to compensate for that the kick is basically a hitscan

#

and the mage is busy thinking about wether or not he can dispell it or spell steal it

#

you can make metas around this type of information, but it never really goes anywhere cuz its just, if u kick correctly u probably already won anyways

violet ginkgo
tribal wharf
#

was he a male troll per chance?

violet ginkgo
#

uh damn I don't exactly remember

tribal wharf
#

we met this dude in late bfa through YT

#

the context is, the tank is trying in vain to get a spell interupted and this is the paladin he asks

violet ginkgo
#

I don't really look for race per say all that register to me is "This guy is melee which notably got shorter interupt than ranged and a ret pally on top of that with good CC" and he didn't even bother to use it. gg.

lusty grotto

both are good picks

anvil/signet and grieftorch are ok picks but require more management and are only offensive options

just rememeber gholak > diurna > trinkets > filial duty

anyway that should be in the wowhead guide and the icy veins guide

can we still loot leggo axe in prepatch, and if we are in prot loot spec ?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

but youre probably not gonna get enough weeks to make it a 100% drop rate

#

its 14? kills in heroic for 100%

violet ginkgo
#

Yes you can, but like Nim said, if you just starting... you probably not gonna make it unless you are really lucky and get it on the first kill.

violet ginkgo
#

Whoaaaa... that week 13 to 14, from 30% to 100% keks

covert aurora
# lusty grotto yes

thanks, I've gotten a couple kills in, was more wondering if I could be rolling for the fryak 1h in prot loot and still have a shot at the leggo. not sure yet to level in prot or arms, i'm mostly prot on the warrior

lusty grotto
#

you can stay in prot

#

it doesnt really matter

#

any loot spec gets it

#

even holy as paladin

tribal wharf
chilly brook
#

The only difference is CD length and or how far you can use the spell

#

There is no travel time on interrupt

tribal wharf
#

yogi is fucking dead

#

i took him out to behind the shed in the woods

#

and i chopped his head off

#

i know thats what you all know me as here, but, uh, ya, that was a time in my life that no longer exists and i don't resonate with that user name at all any more, maybe alittle bit the morshu avatar

#

but, yes, there is a strong difference in CD between rogue/shaman kick and rogue/warriors

#

instant as in, thats the primary use of the spell and its designed to instantlly interupt, like i dunno how it worked exactly but there used to be boom kin does a solar spot and mobs get interupted, or warlock pet

merry sluice
#

TECHNICALLY

#

avenger's shield does have a travel time

tribal wharf
#

and its primary purpose in life IS NOT to interupt

#

thats a great side effect

#

mages Counter Spell: for when, a kick positively, absolutely, has to be there on time.

#

the grenade still does the same job, but you have to aim it in a weird way and or get closer + doesnt travel same speed

chilly brook
merry sluice
#

technically
it still does interrupt

tribal wharf

how about that as a smart affix

Probably until next maintenance Nim, which is soon (less than 24 hours)? Well hopefully they fix it.

tribal wharf
#

anybody here play wow before 1.3 in OG wow and 20 man deadmines

#

im just curious was a youtuber video talking about it, but i sure remember doing that my self lol

lusty grotto
#

warpdeplete just udpated btw

merry sluice
#

Well I’m gearing my BDK on the side, so maybe I should give that timer a try instead rn

lusty grotto
#

well ive used warpdeplete since it was a WA

#

before that i used the WA Nome linked

#

either way its not a big deal

#

no reason to do keys rn

#

at least for me

#

also why the fuck is nimchippy so fucking huge

#

hoooly

#

cant properly display all mage tower appearances without non-felbear

tribal wharf
#

if its a troll, trolls are one of the tallest base unit

#

player anyways

lusty grotto
#

i rearranged them

#

and it looks better now

#

its not that the troll is tall

#

its that it was bigger

#

not heightwise, the entire model was bigger

tribal wharf
#

lore accurate :S

#

what can i say?

#

not fan art either

lusty grotto
#

either way troll nimchippy is on her way out

tribal wharf
#

and not a personal sketch

lusty grotto
#

same as BE zuania

#

im giga NElfing them

tribal wharf
#

the actual art of the game

#

by the dude making the game

#

if blizzard makes that warcraft again, and the green orcs that drink the blood, kill mannoroth, ya

#

im excited about warcraft again

toxic pewter
#

If you don’t count taurens hunch (their tallest point on their body) darkspear trolls are actually taller than tauren (if they stood upright). Like comparing top of head to top of head

lusty grotto
#

so uhh

#

these things are warband wide right

#

i can just blast them

#

reason i wanted to log in, and why ive been asking about the warbank is cause i wanted to organize my inventories

toxic pewter
#

Tell me about it

#

My banks and inventories a damn mess

lusty grotto
#

these seem to be warband wide

tribal wharf
#

still wild for me to think xbox 360 actually shut down shop for good :S

lusty grotto
#

oh it says warband reputation when you hover over them

tribal wharf
#

i still remember when xbox 360 was nothing but a rumor

#

fuck im old

fallow nova
#

I remember when just plain 'ol Xbox was nothing but a twinkle in Microsoft's eye.

craggy harness
#

I read that as “Xbox was a twink in Microsoft’s eye”

fallow nova
#

I mean...

#

It's not entirely inaccurate

#

I'm old enough to remember begging my mom for a Gameboy when Pokémon hit the USA.

lusty grotto
#

i already had a gameboy

#

so im older

#

🙂

cerulean plank
#

OG cinderblock grey gameboy represent

lusty grotto
#

sit down lil bros

fallow nova
#

I had a Gamegear, which was better but didn't play Pokémon lol

cerulean plank
#

Gamegear ate through batteries like crazy though

fallow nova
#

It really did lol

lusty grotto
#

i never had a gamegear

#

but we did buy the genesis nomad

fallow nova
#

I had rechargeables and usually just had to sit with it plugged into a wall

lusty grotto
#

which is the only sega portable we ever had

tribal wharf
#

im going to expose my power level on doom on a level i have never done before

lusty grotto
#

i still have it btw

tribal wharf
#

not even wolf3d, but this

lusty grotto
#

it sells for quite a bit

tribal wharf
#

i've been playing FPS since THIS

#

which came right before wolf3d

#

even a couple gams older and more primitive than this

#

that one at least looks good, other is robot revenge maze some crap, baiscally that, game but devolved one step further

fallow nova
#

I think wolf3d was my first fps

lusty grotto
#

oh?

#

so apparently

#

you dont need to level races to 60 for heritage anymore?

tribal wharf
#

im here chatting to u guys and not playing quake 1 new missions cuz im pissed off

lusty grotto
#

i logged on my mage, which i boosted (in BFA)

#

and i was just granted the heritage quest lmao

#

nice

tribal wharf
#

cuz i have a quicksave which is my only file, saved 0.5 seconds from a explosive beach ball coming to hit me

#

so i have to restart the lvl and i dont wanna

merry sluice
#

I play only goats and for some reason my DK in the right is always way bigger than the others

#

(Same slot too, so maybe just a weird camera angle thing?)

lusty grotto
#

yeah seems to be

#

at least that was my impression too

cerulean plank
# lusty grotto

I got the void elf heritage quest when I logged in, despite having done it on that character ages ago. Might just be buggy?

remote tusk
#

Hmm... daggers have Strength now?

lusty grotto
#

could be, but its great so now i dont even have to level again

remote tusk
#

Would it be any good for Prot?

lusty grotto
#

this is the live channel

remote tusk
#

This is on live yep

lusty grotto
#

its also Khaz Algar BS

#

which is TWW

#

anyway its better to be posted there so people report it, though it could be intended

#

a call back to vanilla itemization lol

remote tusk
#

i mean we can hide a dagger behind our shield i guess

#

it'd make sense

lusty grotto
#

we dagger tanked a lot in OG Vanilla

#

and OG TBC

#

so

#

its not out of the question, kinda weird for 2024 WoW

#

but not out of the question

#

even then if its anything like the crafted cantrips in DF, it'll probably be garbage

tribal wharf
#

deal 220k a random enemy

#

whoa wait a minute hold up

lucid nimbus
#

is it me or are we doing less damage then before prepatch

lusty grotto
#

its you

lucid nimbus
#

crap

dark barn
#

You lose life and do dmg

merry sluice
#

you should def be doing more dmg if just bc of the random stat boost, no?

lusty grotto
#

unless he provides some examples

#

its feelcrafty

#

so its them

#

nothing changed to dunk our dps

merry sluice
#

awesome

#

tried to log in

#

took one step

#

and game closed itself

lusty grotto
#

i havent had any issues

outer brook
#

Hello all. Question... As a prot warrior, what abilities apply deep wounds? The tooltips dont tell me.

#

Fueled by violence over brutal vitality is what im trying to decide.

lusty grotto
#

there's no real winner between those 2

outer brook
lusty grotto
#

you asked about deep wounds

#

not rend

#

rend is not deep wounds

#

and deep wounds is not rend

#

im not sure what you mean by healing

#

do you mean via leech??

solid sun
#

Maybe they thought rend was part of deep wounds or thought fueled by violence worked on all bleeds and not just deep wounds

#

Since they were asking about that talent

lusty grotto
#

well it def doesnt

#

the tooltip is very clear

solid sun
#

Yeah, but the deep wounds tooltip also says which abilities apply deep wounds

lusty grotto
#

indeed

outer brook
#

Thanks for the help yall. Appreciated.

merry sluice
#

oh
oh no i deeply regret doing keys on my bdk

#

watched 3 peopel die to a fortified azureblade lmfao

lusty grotto
#

youve been served the pre-patch special

merry sluice
#

I was served the pre-patch i knew it was gonna be a good one
when I walked up to leymoor as top dps

#

at 504 ilvl

#

also somethjing really fucking scuffed apparently happens if you pull the shrieking welp lol.

it interrupted its screech, so it took until the flowers were dead for the furies to actually spawn.
Do not, recommend

#

(pull as in abom grabbed it, not aggro)

covert aurora
#

I got mostly def trinkets, would grieftorch be a good dps trinket for leveling? or whats a good dps trink?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

grief will be great for leveling

covert aurora
shell fox
#

i forgot how happy i was playing warrior in m+

fallow nova
#

Shield go crunchy-crunch.

merry sluice
#

buh

#

my bdk got flamed in a 10 by a destrolock who had 0 kicks, and tied me in dps for 'not interrupting'
lmfao

god i did not know pugs could get dumber

violet ginkgo
#

you'll get used to it.

pallid quiver
#

that can also be not pugs

radiant mortar
#

good morning my plated friends

merry sluice
#

my guild's chill
i just dont go in keys with them much bc of my illness, i hop on at sporadic random times

#

pugging is the best chocice for me bc of that

patent phoenix
foggy wigeon
#

hi, just kinda getting back in to the game, what is the general opinion on the Thunderous roar vs Champions spear ?

toxic pewter
#

Well right now our tier set bonus really benefits playing thunderous roar over spear.. next expansion we may end up seeing spear played in single target, perhaps

#

Throughout Dragonflight we have been playing roar pretty much the entire time

foggy wigeon
#

ye, did that 😄 just took a 2 months break and i keep hearing that Since the Roar nerfs it might be getting outphased since we wont be taking the bleed talent anymore

toxic pewter
#

right now in m+ we actually can take roar and both talents for it (uproar and thunderous words) because with our tier set its so strong

#

can drop Unstoppable Force for it if u want

lusty grotto
#

Troar is still the better pick in AOE in TWW

#

spear is only good in ST

foggy wigeon
#

ye thats why i came here to fact check my info 😄

#

yk to know if what i kept hearing was right or not

lusty grotto
#

check back when the exp hits

#

cause who knows maybe blizz will tune more

#

beta is still ongoing after all

toxic pewter
#

servers r up

#

just took portal to silithuis from item and i fell through the world.. sigh...

hexed basin
#

servers are up, cool recap video when you log in for the first time

jagged pier
#

Thanks for testinf

lusty grotto
#

not me, im watching XIV RWF

#

;D

#

and preparing to do the first tier

#

but.. thanks for testing the rest of you keks

toxic pewter
lusty grotto
#

yeah wowhead posted it would be fixed with today's reset yesterday

jagged pier
lusty grotto
#

this tier seems very simple in comparison with the last two

#

but... the fights look fun

#

so i dont think that's a bad thing

#

in fact, i like it cause then ill have time to clear before TWW comes out

jagged pier
#

I dont play was just interested in what its like

#

I would maybe raid for the axolotol tho

#

But need a static

lusty grotto
#

but we will see lmao, statics and PF are usually full of meme wipes

jagged pier
#

But i would also need to get through prey

lusty grotto
#

axototl lmao

jagged pier
#

Mount looks good

lusty grotto
#

i fucking hate it

jagged pier
#

BIS

#

So cute

lusty grotto
#

LOL

#

i basically passed the first 5 reclears ngl

#

my fave is phoenix

jagged pier
lusty grotto
#

err phoinix

#

p8s is meh

#

its only cool cause of the transition animation really

#

cerberus is the goat of all of them though

chilly brook
#

@lusty grotto I almost lost my shit last night when I saw all the potency reductions on SAM

lusty grotto
#

yeah people have been dooming

#

but its a buff

chilly brook
#

but then I saw that we get to just repeat every cast lmao

lusty grotto
chilly brook
#

also gets rid of that cringe filler stamp bs thing

lusty grotto
#

yeah

chilly brook
#

viper changes don't seem too bad?

lusty grotto
#

wouldnt know i havent even unlocked it lol

chilly brook
#

kinda glad noxious is gone

lusty grotto
#

i havent checked BLM

#

im just no-lifing crafts for crafting gears

#

and melds

#

but from what i read, they are reasonable changes and needed potency increases

#

the thunder change was kinda weird, but it makes sense for raid

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

p12s

#

anabaseious, aka last fight of last Endwalker tier

pallid quiver
#

hm

I don't recall FF14 scaling notably between xpacs, either

lusty grotto
#

depends

#

but nobody will really do that fight synced if they want the mount

pallid quiver
#

not enough to go and solo it i wager

lusty grotto
#

no

#

not soloable by any means

pallid quiver
#

damn, imagine having to socialize in your MMO

#

you hate to see it

lusty grotto
#

you'll probably have to wait 2 expansions for it to be soloable

#

but EW have a lot of body checks

#

savage raids i mean

pallid quiver
#

i don't have to wait if i raid squeenix HQ with an army and overthrow their control over the backend servers

lusty grotto
#

race is over heh

#

echo got 2nd

#

lucrezia, which is JP won seconds before they got the kill

#

oh nvm

#

echo got third

#

lmao

#

echo got FOURTH

#

i guess its because JP isnt reporting kills

violet ginkgo
#

I suddenly lost voice dialogue is that bugged? pretty sure I don't have keybind/shortcut for that

lusty grotto
#

that has been happening to me for ages

#

maybe expansions

#

id say since SL S4

#

some voice lines just dont work

violet ginkgo
#

Rather the voice line which usually work suddenly not working.

#

I just did the weekly last hurrah you know with the soridormi. Usually she has a voice while calling you for task or something, this time no voice at all just text.

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

thats what i mean

#

anyway NA won the XIV RWF (Serenity)

#

2 JP teams, and then Echo

#

and 5th is a JP team

#

really short race

#

in comparison to others

merry sluice
#

i read short racer

#

and thought we were meming on earthen until i scrolled up

sour junco
#

Hello, quick question so I get it right. Are we supposed to have Shield block AND Ignore pain up together? Or is it a one or the other

#

Because currently my butt is getting kicked hard

lusty grotto
#

shield block

sour junco
#

It might entirely be my ilvl as I just dinged 70

lusty grotto
#

manage shield block

sour junco
#

Thats up permanently almost

lusty grotto
#

ignore pain is just a rage dump

sour junco
#

But that's where I still get yoinked

lusty grotto
#

yeah well

#

higher ilvl shield + shield block will make you extremely tanky, you cant expect that to happen if youre a fresh 70, god knows what ilvl your shield is

#

as far as IP goes

#

just send it when over 70+ rage

#

thats it

#

dont overthink it

blazing condor
#

shield block is the one to actively think about

#

IP you will have up by just doing the rotation

nimble grail
#

anyone to help me doing mage tower ?

#

as prot war

#

30/40 tries here not even passed P1

lusty grotto
#

its been a while

#

most regs here did it in legion

#

so youre gonna have to be specific

#

what is killing you

nimble grail
#

will depend on the try

#

Rarely bumped by the eyes

lusty grotto
#

ok what is killing you that you dont know how to solve

nimble grail
#

But happens

lusty grotto
#

just heroic throw them

#

and/or face them

nimble grail
#

I dont know how to keep damaging well the boss while not taking more than 6 stacks

lusty grotto
#

k

nimble grail
#

i never made him less then 80% hp

lusty grotto
#

first of all

#

you clear everything around him, while spell reflecting

#

go in, preferably with Avatar

#

slam him down until 3-4 stacks

#

run out, clear adds

#

rinse repeat

blazing condor
#

remember to stun and cc him

#

when he does his cast thing

lusty grotto
#

you can reflect mind rend

#

and you can probably (but not entirely sure) spell block it

#

DRAIN LIFE is what you need to stop

#

kick, stormbolt, whatever

#

just 1 of those

#

if youre ever in danger, jump to the light orbs

#

in danger or overwhelmed

#

if it helps

#

it was way fucking harder back then though

#

but it might give you ideas

#

just make sure you use spell block because its ridiculously strong especially in P1

#

and we didnt it have it back then

nimble grail
#

What would be the best timing for SB ?

lusty grotto
#

for spell block?

nimble grail
#

yes

lusty grotto
#

dont say SB, that could be shield block

nimble grail
#

yes your right

lusty grotto
#

just use it on cd

nimble grail
#

Okay

lusty grotto
#

and remember it doesnt work by itself

#

you need shield block up with it

nimble grail
#

really ?

lusty grotto
#

but you should already have Shield block up since it ups your dps

nimble grail
#

Did not know that, i guess i never noticed bc i have shield block up all the time in m+

lusty grotto
#

shield block is our most important maintenance buff

nimble grail
lusty grotto
#

battle

#

you need to dps

nimble grail
#

Food flask drum that makes a big deal or not ?

lusty grotto
#

sure but i dont think you need to go to those extremes for this version

#

im told its fucking easy compared to back then

#

just make sure youre doing the correct DPS rotation etc

nimble grail
#

i fucking need to pass this

lusty grotto
#

its not going away

#

you dont need to

nimble grail
#

Nothing specific dps wise i guess ?

lusty grotto
#

SS>TC>Rev

nimble grail
#

even for adds ?

lusty grotto
#

hold burst for when you clear stacks so you onload on him

#

sure dude

#

adds didnt have a lot of hp back then

#

so they probably dont now

#

but also idk how youre geared in comparison

#

plus also, you can just clear adds with Velen's orbs

#

like i mentioned

nimble grail
#

Alright, gonna try to apply all of this

pallid quiver
#

It's important to know the whole thing is pretty much a DPS/mechanics check

#

If you're doing your damage rotation right, it shouldn't be too challenging. Just make sure to not stand in the poop for too long when doing so

#

And when you get to P2, you reflect the Twisted Reflection thing, which makes you immortal outside one shots

lusty grotto
#

well twisted reflections still applies the debuff, but the reflected damage is pretty huge

pallid quiver
#

no you heal off it

#

that's why you become immortal

lusty grotto
#

yea but you still get the vuln

#

is what i mean

pallid quiver
#

twisted reflections is the interruptible one, not the stacking damage one

lusty grotto
#

oh you right

pallid quiver
#

It's the one you have to interrupt or else he heals to full

lusty grotto
#

annihilation is the one i was thinking of

pallid quiver
#

Ye, that one the puts a cap on the fight

#

because you'll eventually get one shot

lusty grotto
#

yea

pallid quiver
#

But if you reflect every twisted, it's literally the only thing that can kill you

lusty grotto
#

yup

#

its been 7 years

#

lol

#

i should do it again just to see how it compares but... huh eh

#

Luerce, when should i buy TWW

#

monday before standard launch?

#

ill stick to my guns and refuse to give preorder dollars to blizzard forever

#

@toxic pewter

#

you son of a bitch

toxic pewter
#

LOL

#

Unstuck will fix

#

Rekt

lusty grotto
#

wait how do i unstuck

#

dont i have to be logged on?

toxic pewter
#

Log out

#

Then follow directions there

#

On that link

lusty grotto
#

thanks

lusty sundial
#

Same thing happened to me. Had to go to the website ><

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

sounds good

nimble grail
lusty grotto
#

TWW related

#

not live

nimble grail
#

ok

keen leaf
#

thats a big buff tho

#

jesus

ebon wren
#

bro I was doing 80k to a boss where my same bear ilvl can easily do 120k+. Need these buffs

#

(500 ilvl alts)

lusty grotto
#

these are TWW buffs

#

not live

#

again

#

if you were doing 80k to a boss in live, youre not playing correctly

#

try 250k

#

100s are 300k+

ebon wren
#

100s?

strong forum
#

r1 logs

lusty grotto
#

if youre doing 80k, youre basically afk

strong forum
ebon wren
#

I’m just comparing alts lol. Not even geared calm down

#

Literally have cache gear not even set

lusty grotto
#

thats a problem these buffs which, are not live because they are for Beta and wont land in the live client until the exp hits, won't solve

#

ok

#

well then before comparing yourself to a bear

#

maybe look at gear?

hardy snow
lusty grotto
#

oh he did?

#

well yea

prisma crane
#

im a big fan of how every time i log in im in D stance....

#

NOT

timber viper
#

Did the damage trinket nerfs for tanks go in or is it for the tww

timber viper
#

Are you guys using something in place of augury for damage in m+ like ashes, or totem or a stat stick

lusty grotto
#

we're not playing

timber viper
#

Lmao

lusty grotto
#

at best doing the event

#

augury was never that good anyway

#

anvil/totem/dreadplates are better

timber viper
#

I hate dreadplate

lusty grotto
#

manic grief

timber viper
#

Oh true

left escarp
#

what is prot haste breakpoint

#

currently

lusty grotto
#

there is none

#

not this season

left escarp
#

for 100% SB uptime?

#

oh

lusty grotto
#

i trust youre talking about DF and not remix

left escarp
#

nod

lusty grotto
#

if you want the best gear, you wont ever be close to the cap

#

and its not the a cap for SB uptime

#

its a gcd cap
