addon i take it?
just looking to not use 8 macros to place world markers at the cursor
I'm pretty sure Opie is the dog from Garfield
thats also true
oPie lets you bind "rings" where you press a keybind and a ring pops up and you move your mouse in the direction of the thing you want to use.
I'm not 100% sure if you can use it for world markers though?
you can
you can
There's gotta be plenty of add-ons for that
ah okay, I have heard of that before, just never actually knew of the name. I know exactly what you are talking about! You can bind WMs to your bars with macros, so im assuming it would work the same way
btw, there is a world marker ring baked into OPie
incase anyone was curious while lurking my question

ty Nimchip!

Opie is great for so many things 
Mounts, hearstones, foodstuffs, gearsets - just to spin a wheel for funs
10/10
if anyone can its Funky
Preseason? OK well there are 2 shield you can get 1 from The Rookery and 1 from City of Thread but... The Rookery is more spammable than City of Thread, since it's shorter.
Oh, I just got the one from Priory
So now I've got a second question; I got the preseason BiS trinket (Ara-brood), but need to know what to replace. I have 2 decent trinkets: Imperfect Ascendancy Serum and Quickwick Candlestick. Both give either big boost to haste / strength
whatever sims best
generally it doesnt matter, you will replace them
not a hard decision
just equip whichever
Yea, but should I replace a +5000 boost to haste or +4000 boost to strength
Which would you replace
Mmm i will consult the crayons
the crayons say quickwick
Time to wall
I feel like season 1 is going to be a giant flop for me
not feeling anything lmao

well in that case you can just use that like Nim said. Or if you have free time and want to farm valorstone + chase shield feel free to spam "The Rookery"
so, whats the best spec set up for Prot Delves?
that's the problem with this drip feed content
the hypetrain runs out of steam
you cant please everybody
god if m0 was this last week
im fine with it
there's basically zero reason to not have had normal raid + m0 this last week
but yakno whatevs
I'm more bothered with how I ain't feeling prot warrior
any decision they make can be good for some while bad for others
it gave me time to get my alts up and level professions so i cant complain
thats also normal
lol
i main prot war, but i also dont play it by itself, or have ever
but i'd imagine that if i did
i'd be burnt out at some point
I never play alone
Play every class like I do
I have 13 classes at 80
I play with friends who basically expect me to tank
do another tank ๐
Druid tank
Or DK
Both insanely fun
Or Paladin to be immortal
druid tank...
I've played them all and I don't feel like doing any of them lmao
refer to this
You dont pump as prot?
thats also fair yam lol
I usually top or 2nd overall dps
sure, but as a dps yakno
youre doing heroics my dude
lmaoooo
do you also check your dps in LFR?
who cares what youre position in overall is on a heroic dungeon lmao
I'm wondering if I'm just not vibing with anything because it's just heroics rn as I'm testing out different classes
yam its fine to want to check other classes
frost dk was kinda fun tho
what have you tried so far
I like bdk but is it intended that you can't fuckin grab aggro with anything that isn't death & decay?
it doesn't pick up like any threat ime
it does fine for me
uh I've tried pwar, fdk, bdk, disc priest, bear, ret
fun I'd say fdk > bear > disc > pwar > ret
pwar is only so low cause I played it throughout all of df ig
bear is fun? I thought someone said bear is boring, still super effective though.
Haven't really played ranged classes since wrath
believe it or not SP is pretty fun
try to hit 1 mil dps in a dungeon as pwar, youll have a blast
I like bear, it's comfy and it's fun being a bear
MM is blasting if you want a hunter option
as for melee, rogues can get complicated getting into in these iterations
yeah I logged on my level 70 rogue, checked out assa rotation
and logged off
I'm just hoping m0s reinvigorate me to play pwar
if not, I'll prob just switch to fdk
do it
Could try SP I guess and I've always been meaning to try hunter but always get bored during levelling lmao
SP insanity management is fun for me at least
is survival good?
its a lot like rage management
i havent tried it
at least this version
ive been meaning to
I'll probably get more motivated once m0/m+ starts as my friends also start being more interested in playing
i'm survival main its aite
I really should not have bought early access
im probably gonna level my hunter as surv, but want to wait a little bit between alts
guessing that round of alts will be mid/late s1 at best
best stats are mast/crit so not a lot of haste kinda clunky feeling if you go from pwar to survival
Feels go to be able to solo those rare elites without losing a single hp
And still achieve a 500k dps X)
BRUH, we really don't go bstance anymore?
Sure you do.
For the 3% crit?
The drawback of Defensive Stance is just minimal now.
I thought with the change to dstance it's just not worth it anymore
Jeah. If you don't need to sit in Defensive Stance, just go Battle.
It's always worth to deal more damage if you don't need the defensive value of Defensive Stance. 
Do AA crits generate double rage like arms
DF surv was the definition of clunky
This iteration is leagues better at least
but yeah low haste specs feel like garbage
SP on remix? Absolute blast. SP on live? Feel like I could make a tortilla wrap in between casts
idk how u could tell how anything plays on remix when everything dies in 2 seconds

Does Prot damage feel low compared to BloodDK for those that have both?
I havent really looked at tank sims
Just a feelycraft thing
Seems like night and day
After like 200k threads I just solo'd raids instead of inviting
Lets you do a full rotation and really feel the power of your cloak
No way blood DK is gonna do more than prot
bdk is really good right now
i mean it literally does sim far more than prot on ST at least
Yeah but dps no way
and our aoe sims cant be trusted
yes way
no its feels like it does
dotc, templar, deathrbinger, colossus, aldrachi - 1 target 5 mins READ: SINGLE TARGET
Rappers Mark on bdk feels bogus as a tank
feeling means nothing
(Prot war isn't actually that low, but it's still at the same rank)
data and numbers show the actual result
those are sims without embelishments btw
Why is that sim on Colossus
and with those hero trees which yield the highest output
because it yields the highest output
in terms of DPS on a HC DJ, my Prot War is doing more DPS than my Prot Pal or BDK
on ST
because thats higher damage spec for us
in both aoe and ST
I think it's like 850-860k with embellish
Guardian druid lol?
yes
yep they are very strong
highest dps
they spend 30% of the time in cat
โ๏ธ
Guardian is boring
they can tank on cat for 6 seconds as well
Meta is meta, it is what it is
Yeah they did
and were wrong
and they were wrong
s2 druid tho
idk what people youve been listening to
odd that no one played it then
but we certainly didnt say it was
as they were all play prot
Guardian druid gonna be dogshit again
i mean i wish it was, but it wont
why are we talking about meta
i posted RAID SIMS
the fuck does M+ have to do with any of this shit
I like to derail things
do you know what a scapegoat means
im not sure youre applying the definition correctly here
Back to the raid sims tho, it's 853k for colon, 846k thane
Yeah it's what you're doing to me right now
Just because you're mad sime don't equate to reality
Sims
uhhh ok
hey champions what trinket we using?
wish there was a remindme bot here
are you 5
well then, that def answered my question
If you put BiS player on a prot warrior vs a guardian druid, warrior always comes out on top regardless of Sims
im aware
You really disagree?
holy
okie
Tank sims don't actually equate to damage bro
kk
Trust me
understood
Lol ok
๐ด
lol roger
Now who's 5 if you're just going to excuse yourself from the conversation
average warrior mains chat /s
what conversation, its just you talking
As in pre-season?
Ara-Kara + Tome of Lights..something.
okie
now kith


once again
Miss me with that shit
Even not following sims
Don't provoke him bro, he's just gonna tell you you're dumb and don't understand definitions or sims
also dotc, meaning Jakey is also correct because you cat weave as dotc
Its going to be the meta s1 tank
Guardian has to be the most boring tank out there.
holy cow im getting some alavisto deja vu with this ticon guy
Newest Sims btw
Choose your battles
Dont really pay attention to sims
yeah well hes a kid
Bro I'm 31
Wow
no way
theres no point interacting with a troll dude
youll notice i did
im entertained ๐
wow way 
Dude I've been in this discord for almost 6 years
I'm always pretty high io on prot warrior
๐
i've also been in places i'm not appreciated
Higher io than me ๐
co-creator of Valhalla Gaming Community lmao
What is this convo even about
yes
Sims
Nim is attacking me
Even though I'm always well above average in io for prot warrior
But he's acting like I'm a clueless child
Yeah but what is it about
something something he thinks prot is highest dps tank because it feels like it does more damage, something somthing wont take sims as an answer says sims means nothing somthing somthing hes high io so he knows what hes talking about
Ah yeah nah


waaaait a second
lmao
since when did this disc allow emotes from other servers
We're evolving

Another hamsterwheel content main has hit the sims dont matter accusation
That's not actually what I said
bald yet?
Y'all are ganging up on me because you're all friends
Then help us understand what is this discussion about.
I ain't ganging up on anybody
Have u thought that is maybe because you are wrong
And they're always productive
lmao this sounds like an execution jury
Could be
Crazy concept but high IO doesnt make you be right
Anyway
This convo is cringe
yes very constructive
Sims are for better or worse accurate in the same environment, if you add external factors like burst aoe on certain fights and stuff like that tanks with different dmg profiles will outshine others
But as it stand right now, pwar is literally middle of the pack
its like those people that ignore scientific research
emphasis on right now
more like retailers ignoring market data
We will see after heroic week
Trying to say prot out dpses guardian right now is something else though
it fits
but it does
Atleast in raid
true and real
Most guardians on beta have played the wrong hero tree
choices made in favourable environment that permits mistakes does not mean data is irrelevant
So yeh
more so when you reach edge cases where mistakes are punished


didn't even pay my bougee disc sub


U forgor paladin
Just explain your part @edgy bone , if you feel like people misunderstood the discussion.
So did blizz
Mountain King pooping on all other tanks

Because we are the strongest and nothing can stop us
Aight.
prayge
but like, don't shove an opinion as fact
I'm happy you feel like it - enjoy the class.

the end is not the journey but the friendship or something
Wish I was engaged
Those walls are what people call high keys

engage DEEZ NUTS
gottem

its ok ull get em next time
wow made u slow nim
you have no idea
get reformed, quit to reach your max potential
quit wow, install league
ok calm down there

ill have you know i have 2k hours in dota2
I played league for 15 years
brainrotmaxxing
just be a normal perso and play 20 y old games
I'm actually mentally ill
you want us to be like Yogi
I play ow as well
yes he goes by deathray44 now
cause he "deleted his account because of idk what he said"
seems yogi enough
feel free to search his messages, hes still the same old yogi
so far so good, but we will see once the game really starts
meh
prot numbah wan?
kinda hoping the raid gunna do alot cause the dungeons are garbo
what's a drg and how do you taunt it
brd raid looks fun
drg = floor tank
deep rock galactic silly
LOL
what about unofficially
like officially?
sweet dreams king ๐
how's your spelling going along @jagged pier
I just got to work
good things never change
jsut hvae god spieling?
working on dn?

its all about demure now
i haven't caught that meme yet
is ur tanking demure
and aura
my tanking had aura yes
speaking of spelling
but i feel like having a convo about these things is literally killing my brain cells
I think you meant manure

like on god? like skibidi sigma ohio rizz?

now the question is
can i level my pwar b4 reset
(it took me from start of ea to yesterday to get 1 guy to 80)

I logged in the moment servers were up, and by the time the first person in my guild was 80, I was level 70.9
huge
We had people done with leveling before I logged
Arty had 6 priests done by the time I was level 72

You can level Earthen with exploration to 70 in 5 hours
Then dungeon spam as tank to 80
Oh yeah I ain't saying I had struggles leveling or I was slow
I just didn't start leveling until Saturday
Took me like 2hrs each to level the rest of my characters
Dungeon spam go brr
And I'm looking to clear normal and HC 4 times this week already 
2 split and 2 Alt runs

hope the raids good
and the brd raid too
as thats around for a patch
just hope there no uber broken gear from it
I have just kept my gear at 580, but I read somewhere that the lower tier crests are not going to be able to upgrade m0 /m+ gear is this correct?
yer weathered as useless on reset
Ah thanks mate may aswell use em
Damn.
I'm lucky to do it once.


3 is confirmed, dunno if I'll join the 4th
yer wild time

If my Delve 8s are poo maybe
Me on 2 chars

Will got 14 keys after rese,t maybe 15
have to kill heretics and xenos instead, also delves give higher gear so

Is there a easy/fast delve?
Can i just farm that one?
Until out of keys?
no clue
I think bountiful delve disappears for you after one completion
There are 4 bountiful delves per day
I did it on an alt and it became a common delve
So you can only use a key on those
So i can use 4 keys per day?
Si
Yep
ye
Yeah kinda
Yeh
Is loot guaranteed from bountiful chest btw?
Yeah
I'm gonna do 0s every day so not a problem
So..the play is to spam a non-bountiful easy/fast delve to 8
ANd then go bountiful with keys?
Did around 130 delves already and it didn't really suck so that would bo fine too

brother ew
I did..10?
WTF
I farmed them
u need to not play the game so hard youll burn out
Needed gold cuz I lost it rolling...
I fished 5300+ frostfin tuna dragonflight launch
I did another thing last 2 days
Got like 1.4m gold
I'm not doing stuff ingame if it isn't fun
nomer big boi raider lets go
I made 47k ๐
wow economy is rigged
You have an efficient farm or you getting in to AH shenanigans?
Did ah last 2 days, did delves b4
ah yeah, I don't have the heart of a grinder, delves got too monotonous too fast
I just disenchant my dungeon gear and sell.
You can grind mobs, craft and sell your profession crafts, flip stuff, mine herb herb skin, do heroic dungeon with bonus satchel
I should drop herb for enchant
Yiu could have bought runes a week ago for 1k and sell them today for 2300
Hey guys can I ask something will there be any platter profile with the shield/spell blockable spells for S1?
You should never drop shield block in combat unless you're exclusively facing casters
A spell block WA never occurred to me
I dont know... That sounds like a lot of work.
well knowing which spells can be deflected its not as easy as using brains but ok
I've seen a spreadsheet
With what is and isn't reflectable/spell blockable
Seems unlikely
yes for this one I am referring to since this info can be imported to platter and you could easily see when to reflect. Thanks guys
If it's a bolt you reflect it, and there are like 5 other spells for the whole dungeon pool
you might not want to reflect that spell tho

u might want to reflect a bigger more important spell
so your still just gunna have to use brain
and eyes

hard to be a gangster
i do all the time
as is written

Do them with your friends
People who you manipulate to give you stuff and boost your alts
Unrelated, I have a stupid question, so I feel like I saw at some point stuff saying "don't upgrade past 580 yet" but, now notice that the valorstones and weathered crests are just not going to be used next week (maybe this is wrong)? so why am I holding at 580?
Why arent valorstones being used?
ah so it's just the weathered ones that aren't?
just dont be me and waste stones on explorer/adventurer stuff for slots I was grinding reps for
If it's the same system as df stones will be used all the way up to myth 6
:/
i mean we gunna need stones for the whole expansion
just go ham with the weathered crests, it makes more sense to upgrade veteran gear than Adventurer
I would hold some for M0 gear
I think people are farming Valorstones and then upgrading with crests and then farming Valorstones agains.
I'm too lazy, so i'm just farming to 2k for m0 release.
And another 2k for m+ release.
So i can upgrade instantly new gear.
I got no clue how people are farming them tho. ๐
Spamming dungeons
disgusting
I farmed 2k on 4 tanks
See, i doubt that.
Was fun
There are people in our guild who got a TON of valorstones, but don't really do dungeons.
Dungeons are weird I got dropped inside arakara tonight with only last boss and 1 trash mob before it
I'm also farming only Ara-Kara for 50 Valorstones in like..10 minutes.
300 / hour
that sounds like a ton to me
not a fan of priery
get a couple thousand in 5 hours
I never made it past the first Boss in ara kara
wax
hardcap on farming?
or just brain protect
Isn't that less?
gotchu
wax?
You can get wax above cap
u get 1-2 person loot but then u can turn in the wax u pick up as well
so ppl have like 6k stored already
to turn in so they dont need farm it later
Jeah, but like..farming Wax is slower, no?
honestly
But above cap
I farmed wax for storm dust satchels wasnt bad
What was it, 10 Valor for 5 wax?
You get some nice wax encounters with 3-7wax dropping
Do we have all tww or the m+ dungeons as m0 next week
M+ ones.
Thats sick
Mists/NW are chill.
What you dont want to do some terrible shadowlands dungeons again?
mists was the only dungon i ran in SLs and ive run it so much i dont like it anymore


the dungeons were fine, what was wrong with them?
i hate it after I was forced to pull shit with pet on my warlock
i mean thats fine and stuff but i just dont get it, just look at all the content they are releasing for the aniversary event, why not just make new dungeons every patch we pay a sub for a reason
not to redo the same dungeons ive run 1000s of times
already
You can check the amount of raids and dungeons they were doing before cash shop early access and wow token
that doesnt really track tho
It's a trend and it won't turn
as m+ wasnt a thing then
Releasing old dungeons as m+ isn't as hard as doing new dungeons
i know
but its boring to do them again
as they only started evergreen recently
so ive already done them a tone
and its not interesting to me
its why i prefer the CM system to m+ because it was once and done
never have to touch dungeons again
like if they made m+ loot only usable in m+ or reduced strength outside etc
id be very happy
because i wouldnt have to do m+
i could just do the content i enjoy
Always gonna be a difference of opinion on this, cause for some people it's cool to go back and do the old dungeons
rehashing old dungeons is a good strategy for newcomers
Less people would do it
exactly
Doing things for power is the main mmo gameplay
True of any RPG content really, you do the things that make your char more powerful ennit
ive already run the new expansion dungeons too many times
Ya fair, I get you
sucks for most "older" players
But then, once you get your m+ items you can stop
yer im aware im a miniority with a lot of things
yer and i dont
I'm an older (kind of) player and I actually dislike raiding a lot now
I'm unsure what the beef is then? You mean cause next season you have to do them again?
like youll see in here if u stick around ppl with higher io than me will tell me im wrong because i dont push m+
and they are wrong all the time but refuse to listen
because i dont push
all because i dont enjoy doing it

metagamers will always metagame
๐
People are always gonna be wrong about stuff
Who cares
these discords are made by people who care
That's crazy cause I've actually never been wrong
about their hobby
I've never died in world of warcraft
because its annoying when im here to help and teach ppl and they disagree with me for hours, then nome come in and says the same thing and they instantly switch
their hobby is dissecting a random thing in a video game
i really enjoying helping ppl improve, its annoying when ppl dont listen
Mfw I can't add reactions on this cursed discord ๐ญ
and here comes johnny twitter poster with opinions traded as facts
But how does existence of people who are ignorant affect it
Part of the reason why I did push and join a high ranked guild aside from just the fun aspect
I would lie if I said it wasn't one of the reasons
yer but i dont want to push just because
Yeah absolutely
Extremely based reason to play the game
It helped that the season was just my fav dungeons

That's the way
Onliparse
I'm so excited to raid again you don't even know
First time in like a month that I can parse again
Dopamine ๐
i already know i wont be parsing as im not playing somthing im ultra good at anymore

i can just be a mechanics bitch which i enjoy more
I need those golds
i know im never getting golds as dps
i just havent spent enough time in the specs
pinks maybe
but gold nah no way
Bm hunter?
nah
im warrior or ele sham
but i dont mind just going to do mechanics anyway
or saving cds for adds etc
ppl care to much about parsing which i understand
but id rather just kill boss
It's a weird choice of class to do mechanics
and i may have spent a lot of time on warrior but literally 99.9% of time ive been prot
i didnt have a wide range of classes to choose from
we already had like 3 hunters
CMs didn't give gear
and because it was very "one and done" people jsut did what they needed to finish it and go back to their usual activities
Sure, but blizzard would be more interested in a recyclable activity which players will do over and over to get more player engagement
one and done doesn't keep people paying
Ye, true. I do miss the sort of gearlessness of it, though, as well as the nice cosmetics.
Guys crit vs vers ratio for m+ pls
being an elitist about gear is what made me fall in love with this game
I mean there was still the gear aspect it just wasn't as, uh, direct I guess at least for non-tanks.
Whatever the highest ilvl gear you get has
Vers = crit, is so close you don't think about it. Just be opportunist. One got avoidance? Take that.
If you play demo, there is some more value in crit to reset Demo. So guess you can prio crit more then
Sim actually fixed
?
Hey, time to go 
Will be fun to see how crit Vs versa does as demo. Gonna try to remember to check when I get home
?
They always worked
The clown who said they weren't was just simming like an idiot
dont talk about the aoe on tho
I trust you as far as I can throw ya 
๐คซ
didnt u say it was 70% accurate the other day 
Speaking of AOE I forgot I have to ask this.
I encounter situation like this a lot apparently because we got a lot of reset on SS.
So the situation is I shield slam, then the shield slam make TC into thunderblast and the auto attack reset the shield slam, so with SS and TB ready now do I
- Shield Slam and then Thunderblast which potentially reset the SS
- Just sent the TB first.
Depends on target count and cds
And outburst
Avatar ready in a gcd or not
Most AOE situations are fake and are ST situations with padding.
^^^
This
I'd prolly send SS there
SS > TB > SS
Cuz you might get a 2nd TB proc
Or you might get a double SS proc off of that TB
Alright then ๐
I assume if avatar ready then TB first then avatar to give 2x more TB?
Nah
Also depends on outburst
But holding avatar is never the play just to get an TB out to "not waste it"
I'd SS > ip + avatar > TB
well then unless it's on outburst situation just send the SS first when both SS and TB ready?
It would be more raw dmg to send TB and the rage isn't much less, but TB can reset SS
So probably send SS yes
Always get that button rolling
Pwar is all about SS
Unless you're colossus
Then you pray your cds can cover rage gen while you keep spamming revenge
It's pretty hard to consider all the if's and but's when it comes to TB vs SS

Just send TB, it more pretty
Hmmm speaking of colossus I haven't try run with it at dungeon, I probably tried some later then just for fun.
It a ton of fun
Cuz revenge go brrrrrr
i dont
Ooh that's what you mean with demo
Demolish...
I was like what does demonology or demo shout have to do with it
i feel demolish is fine as it is, channeled spells on melee are doggy
preferrably would be better if it was insta cast
Turbo ez when ya da tank? Huh
Feels weird that it's conal honestly
Like isn't the animation you smashing the ground
not to mention the few mechcnics that knock u back and cancel it
yeah i guess thats a whole nother thing though nome
Because mobs spread out around you.
even tho some otheres dont
But you know this mpb behavior before hand 
if i ever quit wow again, just put illidan back in the game
Yeah just don't pull 8 packs at once
Just have em train after you, and they chuuchuu into it
this game has that dudes voice actor, and this is 2017 bfa come out 2018, between that game and bfa launch i saw the illidan deletes naaru with eye beam and that voice, was all i needed to come back to wow
(illidan is coming back)
You're saying that like I'm not trying to play around the fact

And yes illidan is coming back
Probably in 12.0
You speak like you dont 
i hope hes angrier than ever and ready to kill demons
he is a demon hunter after all
metzen literally said he was coming back
I'm merely explaining how the mechanic works

The cinematic gonna be hype
Oh
Well Sarg is 100% gonna break out so
nah he gunna be good now im guessing because we going aginst the void
sarg will be our new bff
You are now
just u watch
i would rather see it that illidan absorbs the power of the sword as it gets broken open, like while sarg is trying to retrieve the sword (presumably part of his power), and illidan gets buffed and sacrifices him self to kill sarg
It's what's beneath the sword
That would be azeroth
illidan is a DEMON HUNTER and sarg is like pretty much his #1 target to kill,
Cuz bfa SL and DF were just placeholders
So metzen could cook
clearly whats beneath the sword is 8 dungeons and 4 zones
way i figure it, he is going to study the blade, and figure out the magics it uses
Exactly

That's why he could cook
cuz its not like the sword is being protected, at least, not by sentient forces
actually the sword was behind everything all along, it was controlling sarg
its just got a gate around it
member in BFA when they said it wasnt a big bad and we werent gunna join together at the end
