and grass toucher (this one might be a lie he's on d4 like 24/7
i aint do that aotc shit unless i get paid by u to run it and get carried and i dont have to speak to any
is this trinket really that bad that it doesnt outperform a 577
I afk on D4 a lot if that's what you mean!
or does sim not work well with trinkets?
"you"
any reason to save carved stones or send it on m0 gear?
VoH gonna own
what's the 577?
because someone in your party duhhhh
????
Enjoy your reduced XP toward 81 nerd
Sorry just checking
Did they do something to shield block?
Having issues up keeping it above 88% uptime compared to df easily hitting 95%
They did it to lock their char at 70, but blizz fixed so you can't. They leveled the old way and never cared to go to the NPC to offically reenable the xp
To powerlevel day 1
Are you using Heavy Repercussions or Into the Fray?
Whats the strat for the spiral weave? I managed to LOS the boss cast once but after that shit was hitting me through walls
Using both
Into the fray for raid and heavy on m+
Then idk, you should have no issues maintaining it with HR
In raid, it would be expected to have downtime
if using ItF
hard to say, we would need logs and someone above me would tell you why you arent gaining enough or spending enough rage to make it 100%
in short, if youi play right, you have 100% uptime on it
You should look up your toon on WCL
You might already have some.
People HAD to see this coming
No nothing yet
Will grab go do some and log it
Nothing on m+ at least
Now only priest and slow classes being forced to go drak

We were about to enter another generation of Legion Arcane Torrent
I kinda can see it, but I chose ignorance
If you're gonna do keys next week then it might be wise to save the valorstones. Even +2 will drop higher track
Unless you get a champ track from a delve ofc, then you can upgrade it for sure
did yall craft anything yet?
What's our BiS for this season?
Only 4? I have 7 keys and then all the radiant thingies to do.
bis what
you can only do 4 bountiful delves per day so having 7 doesnt change how many you can do tomorrow
son of rat
guilford u playing
Lmk once you get it figured out
mythic 0 terrorism tommorow
i got 3 tanks ready for some of it
little bit wild to me that heroic dungeons dropping 580 gear
U could get it to 580 pretty free anyway
nothing personnel, its just business
nexus princess is such a great fight
you can tell who cant raid ffxiv for shit on it lmao
Is this some raiding stuff im too m+ to understand ?
Drag the boss to one side of the room and leap and run across the room immediately when he starts casting, he does it after every 2nd frontal I believe? You have just enough time for the CD of leap to refresh, as long as you keep running you should at most take a single tick of damage before you outrange it
1st piece
🫡
Also stop running once you notice you're not taking damage, I despawned him because brann snapped to me from being too far and dropped aggro
Is it plater profiles or an additional addon/WA that shows enemy cooldowns
same
normal was just dumb easy anyway
looks like according to the sheet they changed it since beta
boss didn't actually feel like it did anything, use defensives for the AOE and just do dmg
So shield and boots are the only crafted items we should really pursue atm?
boots?
Sanctified Steps from the guide on Wowhead.
ddi you
read
what it says
because they are NOT what you should pursue
quite the contrary
and it says so right there
poor nome
Man the caster boss on council is the only boss so far that actually hurt me lol
!sim
normal council hard, web mechanic difficult
that's where the pug i was in got stomped at
1 target patchwerk 3 mins or 5 mins = ST / Raid
5 target patchwerk 1.5 mins or 1 min = AOE / M+
thx
you kill it yet
We got it down like 10 minutes ago after some positional optimizing
Did third section first because tbh learning the hard section first means that anything past it is a kill pull attempt
we did 3-1-2 for the sections
I think there's an argument for 3 tanking on mythic
could see 2 BDKs alternating boss, dropping a healer and running a 3rd phys tank for spiders
hey how's throngus's finger?
yes
anyhow it's probably not super great overall, since we're not dying much
yeah thats what I figured
I also got the warband version of mark of khardos 
i didnt even know that could happen LMFAO
you're right and im sorry.
is there somewhere I can find what to craft first?
Dumb question, I know
Probably pinned somewhere
Do we even craft something this early in week 1?
you dont say
I wonder what checking them would lead to
we'll never know I suppose
You can assume I checked the pinned here
mb
I delete my direct @
Most embellishments are currently untested, undertuned, or bugged to scale with character level instead of item level. This will presumably be corrected at some point before the start of Season 1, but makes it hard to accurately measure the value of crafted gear at this point.
If this isn't fixed by the start of Season 1, the best course of action is likely to save your first week's crafting materials or fill any missing holes in your gear. For example, players who do not have a high likelihood of raiding or maximizing their vault rewards may wish to consider crafting a weapon.
got it
I just went ahead and crafted shield and bracers
but I'm aiming for AoTC this week and I'
I'm an armorsmith so I can just recraft my own gear at low cost
I double crit embellished although when I upgrade my shield again I'll probably try Ascendance
Can someone close to Blizz put in the suggestion of having Colossus make us 15% bigger
I want to be yuge
WoWhead recommendations are double crit or vers lining but tbh I don't trust it
swapping off of those to try Ascendance soon
You don't trust it? 🤔
should i be waiting to use my catalyst armor upgrades till i get champ gear or should i send on myth tier?
How do you think they got those recommendations sir?
*veteran tier maxes at 606 ilvl
Maybe not "don't trust it", but feel it's a sim trap for a real prog environment/realistic usecase
the 80% health qualifier is pretty meh
the sims normally have an uptime % built in for that
its not
cause BSL existed
and those follow the same rules
except instead of mastery its crit or vers
and they are active at 80%, instead of 90% which was BSL
sim traps or sim baits are never recommended by either Mwahi or Nome
they go by sims, but they are not stupid
got this from delves is this considered bis in your guys opinion losing stam kinda sucks extra armor decent for more dam tho
what in the actual fuck is that 😂
They really need to implement the leaver penalty faster
Fair, was mostly going off reading it and having some skepticism but if the grace period is super favorable I can see it
It's not really about a grace period. We just spend a lot more time in that health range (above 80%) than people seem to think we do.
Damn, at least u can upgrade m0 shield for free
good point
There's catch-up on sparks right
Yeah
Felt like Ovinax had me sub 80 most of the fight lol
Only fight so far thats felt like that
As a follow-up to this, in a random raid encounter I picked, I went under 80 twice
for about 3 seconds
Heroic Council of threads isn't too bad so far
how the fuck do i fix this
i didnt do anything and it just created the 2nd one today for some reason
WCL, that is
idk just click the delete button? XD
just a backup one
should we be running haste / vers while gearing up? to avoid dying, that is
Now that dracthyr dont have the tail swipe racial CC, people less likely to race swap?
Run highest ilvl and pres your butons to not die
Stats really have nothing to do with you dying or not.
@neon elk is ilvl really that important?
Just follow the normal stat priority. ilevel>haste>crit=vers>mast
Well, with both racials, it would've been basically every serious M+ player who played a class they could be would've been dracthyr.
Yes, higher ilvl is better overal, unless its ring/trinket , and later if its piece that completes set, but thats debatable
I was considering dracthyr because its pretty much human with double jump and glide . But cba , love my dwarf
second wind. heal when hes burrowed. save major cds during swarm. i took healer brann too.
You get half an a press jump
I was considering swapping to Dracthyr from Goblin but I might just stay gobbo. Or go Earthen
I just swapped from dwarf to goblin so I could queue heroics with a horde friend 
Did they chanfe that ?
No, dracthyrs have never had double jump
Realy ? Am i triping or what ? xd
It's a "double jump" only in the sense that hitting space again activates glide, versus a DH that gets a full second jump
You dont get any extra height as dracthyr
It's a pretty common misconception, so don't feel bad lol
Yeah, DH is space = jump, space again = jump higher, space again = glide
Och , well one less reason to not swap
Dracthyr is space = jump, space again = glide
Jump -> Glide vs Jump -> Jump -> glide, yeah
Good good
I've really enjoyed the rock dwarf vibe more than I thought, and having some extra throughput through the bonus armor seems nice
Plus I eat motherfuckin rocks
I like the new racial they just got where they can literally just eat whenever, though it doesn't matter much for this class
Or that they're getting I guess, w/e
idk if that was put in yet
My biggest issue is I've made myself a guild meme for only playing goblins so swapping my warrior off would ruin the image smh
What delv did you do
To either lol
Hear me out though
Swap earthen right
And then when someone questions it you can be like yeah I was really lazy for a long time, and I just got all fossilized and shit
Darkiron ftw
Pffffft lmfao
Just RP that shit so you're still a goblin
Just one that was so lazy you turned to stone
My hunter is a female goblin
Because female goblins have the greatest (and it's not close) feign death animation in the game.
I'm hoping we get an industrial/mech/goblin themed warband screen
truth
We'll see what the future holds, I also dont neccesarrily want to give more money to blizz than I have to lol
Yeah that's always a good reason not to do something
I can almost swap freely right now since I bought a bundle of faction swaps like a year ago
when they were on sale
Ah fair fair
They’ll probably have a sale during the anniversary event so, eh
I’m happy as a goblin regardless
Only annoying thing is rocket jump disabling heroic leap
is Drac'thyr really that good?
+30% speed is enough to get me to swap
will catalyst be once a week or once every other week this season?
Every other iir
Players will gain one charge of Harmonized Silk Harmonized Silk with the start of Season 1, and then receive another charge every other week after Week 1.
Thats from wowhead post from like 12h ago
i stand corrected then
Its a shame tho, still hope for change
Nah its doable at 8
pop wall, sr and demo shout on first , impending vixtory right after , on second , demo , sr, , last stand , healing pot midway, impending as soon as u can to get back , on 3rd your wall should be back up and just do the 1st again, then it should die , or at least died for me
Ive heard people set bran as heal for this , ive had him on dmg and it worked fine, was hardest from my 4 delves tho , didnt do waxface yet
Don't forget to defensive stance.
Also not realy sure if spell block works on that . But spam your IPs
Yea i was in dstance whole dvelve , rarely swap to bstance tbh
Some people claim that runing 50-60yd away helps, ive had bad experience with that and was easier to face tank it and heal via leech at least something
got his ass
didnt even need last stand
demo shout was the key i missed
never rly thought to use it as a defensive before lmao
Yea just spam that shit, so low cd
Relatable, ngl.
well i did spam it before
thats what got me killed
this time i saved the 1st one for swarm so they lined up for every swarm after
def stance/spell reflect/demo shout u dont even need to shieldwall or last stand
shit does 0 dmg
Yea ive died first time on him for some dumb mistakes so second attempt i added more stuff ( wall a stand) and it worked like charm
Still feels way harder than rest of what i did yesterday
is a knowledge check
i had to press like 3 panic cds when i was healing that one
and as it happened I was like "ohh, this is the thing people were talking about"
good times
it wasn't that panicked I guess since I literally typed "oh, it's this one" while it was happening
anyhow, what ilvl is your warrior now @lusty grotto
This. I was lucky enough to watch sloot dick it down at 578 ilvl and then I got it done at 591 first try. Knowing when to press what helped a lot and yeah 3rd swarm wall should be back up. I took heal brann tho for that fight
i didnt even press shield wall when i killed it lol
def stance + spell reflect + demo shout = it does no damage gg
spiral weave delve soloable?
601
602 now
got 3 hero pieces today
and hero helm last night
so there is no gear ilvl increase past 8 delves?
correct
I know that MT is better in Mythic/Delves but I’m curious if anyone is running Colossus because they enjoy it more or is the gap big enough it’s not worth it?
how are we doing in m+ guys, havnt started yet
What's everyone crafting with the 2 sparks?

:siren: Don't craft using your spark yet, tuning is still ongoing. :siren:
Thank you
Tuning of what?
Tuning never ends.
Typically they do a bigger tuning pass after HC and/or Mythic week.
And then go from there.
but you better believe those prepatch tunes will come a rollin'
Wait and craft using your spark until season is over, just to be safe
Hi guys. do you have any suggestions for a tinker socket in the wrist slot?
Coffer keys
True, the boss starts on 60% so you have tons of execute uptime
yep yep
gg 100% parse
Also 607, how much gear did you get fed
none just did pvp and crafted 610s
can you get pvp gears without versa?
You can craft gear that uses the pvp "crests"
so are we using sparks yet or we still wait for reset?
There's no content that requires high ilvl shield
So you can wait and see if you get one from vault or mythic first boss
Otherwise you can just send your craft if you're desperate
you craft it using the algari plate recipes with a missive
via a blacksmith
thanks ❤️
or jeweller etc for rings
Are you using any WA for Ignore Pain, like when it should be used as rage dump or whatever above a certain rage
Or just using your eyes on rage bar?
Eyes
Yes tooltips on most websites are fuck
Ignore those, what matters is what the sim works with, and its using the correct data the tooltip is just outdated
70 rage you press ip
no weakaura needed
is that map for delves only from bountiful?
my friend gotten from regular while doing lower tiers so prob no
They can drop from any delve, but only apply to the next bountiful delve you do
im trying to figure this out myself to avoid starving myself as much as i do
assuming im already IP and shield blocked up then im trying to only press IP macro when over like 80 or when im about to press tblast or when i have an outburst proc
but i feel like i miss out on ss resetting from autos when i do that too hard
i usually do
Not always, obv
But idk how else to explain it, often times I also send 2 IPs to get avatar back a bit earlier even tho I'll "starve" myself empty, but avatar grants TB and resets it
So you can continue from there
im either pressing IP between globals or pressing IP macro before builders just incase ss happens to reset right when i wanna press clap or smth
Same goes for outburst, you see you're 1/2 IP away from outburst and SS is coming up
So you IP > outburst SS
yea i try to do that too
I only have the macro
I don't have 2 IP binds
Only 1
yea same
K
i have ip macro and ss on its own
like god intended
ig theres way too much nuance to ask specifics tho, just kinda gotta feel it out until i stop wasting outburst procs on regular clap/stop starving myself
if i can do that then im probably good enough
Prot got both harder and easier with MT
Easier cuz outburst on TB isn't the end of the world in ST
Harder cuz it got faster with the resetting
And execute rotation is also harder
i havent even tried to rly learn execute rotation yet
in my head its just
execute if >60
Just let the other tank have aggro in raid and press execute 😄
5 more days and I’m home
You get so many TBs and SS resets you barely get time to send execute

That's the hard part
why 70
Das what sim said
So you can still SB
we trust the robot around here
PRAISE THE MACHINE
Automated maths is great
but like... execute dmg caps at 40
and if u spend at 60, that brings u to 20, u can still execute/revenge again
i dont get it :(
ah ig so
but if ur in execute phase and not spending rage on ip dumps to tank
shouldnt u be pressing more revenge
than ip
IP spends rage off-gcd
Revenge spends it on-gcd
Meaning you don't generate
But with IP you can spend and generate
So you spend more time generating
still tho how are u getting up to 70 rage if ur spending IP on resets
That's when you revenge
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN
You didn't specify your scenario lol
i thought we've been talking abt execute 😭
Yeah but you never specified that both tc and SS aren't ready
Like execute rota is just hard
Cuz you get so much rage and can barely spend it on execute
prob easier to just figure it out than talk abt it
Cuz execute resets SS
execute dummies when
WHO
The training raid dummy
oh
he has a name??? cute
can a shout macro combined with mod like alt/shift?
Thank you!
i wanna make a spell reflect macro thats tell anyone i have spell reflect up
Weakaura better for that
Cuz macro will send the shout even if you don't actually send SR
i feel like this channel is one of the best for asking questions etc
using other class/spec channels
was not a good exprience
💀

alright, time to tinker then
See see nome is on arms again - no tanking this Season ?
I would raid tank but that slot is locked in
But m+ idk
Will have to see how fun it is, but dps prolly more fun still
But I ain't gonna get to dps m+ for a while
hey, i'm new to tanking this season so... as a tank what do i look for in logs to improve? first survive the fight but then? Same as DPS looking out to max dmg or looking at Healing done or something else?
Blocked hits of melee attacks, rage generated/wasted, casts per minute
And compare to good prot warrior logs to see what it should look like
under which sektion do i find that?
That's interesting, I've been trying to find when I should execute and the guide doesn't mention it
When you say execute if rage > 70, you mean execute takes prio over revenge only, or over both TC and SS?
Over SS and TC, but not TB and not if you have Burst of Power procs
blocked hits is "damage taken --> melee --> hover mouse over "hits"
Ok thank you i will check that 🙂
Alright, thanks!
And is it the same with Colossus? We're a lot more rage starved as Col so should we still prio SS to build up before spending rage on execute?
Also, is there any way we can access the detailed sims like the one you mentioned about the rage threshold for execute? Sometimes I wonder about minmaxy stuff like that which usually doesn't show up in guides, being able to check out precisely the ideal simmed rotation would be great
Thoughts on this shield guys? Appears pretty decent TBH
ok how do i interpret this (it's Damage Taken from First Boss Nhc, killtime 4:38) should Mitigated (Second to last number - 76.73%) be way higher or is that ok?
Hello. What is the goal for haste this season? I feel like 15k-16k would be fine.
Hover mouse over hits column it tells you how many hits you blocked or didn't
As much as you can get
But bis profile for dmg has roughly 15k haste and 16k crit
Thats even easier 😄
There's no haste cap. So on a theoretical basis, the more the merrier, until Mr simbot tells you it's time to get something else.
ah 6 out of 10 hits blocked^^
Yeah so that's, not good
ok second boss is 46 our of 51 hits xD
so it schould be more like that right so kind of 90% of hits blocked right?
In raid technically 100%
yikes xD
As close to 100 as possible
ok... so how do i improve that? more blockchance through crit orbetter use of SB etc.?
are all the delve trinkets just completely useless?
doing your rotation correctly mostly. Not having your back towards enemies (you cant block when hit from behind)
so make sure you got the right talents and then work on getting that high CPM/rage generation
by pressing ur buttons and doing rotation correctly
Also sometimes holding off on sending SB when not actively tanking
ok one last question in terms of Rage (this is again fist boss raw gain / wasted / gain) i think wasted should tend to 0 or be 0 in best cases right?
anyone know if you can block/parry during this cast?
I mean no
Yeah, here you wasted over 12% of your rage
Goal should be as close to 0 as possible
You missed out on 1 entire outburst cast and probably 1 entire avatar cast
35sec of raw cooldown reduction in avatar is what you missed out on
On just 1 boss
Dunno, and it's a pretty bad trinket for us
uf... ok time for training i guess... thx for the patient i'm now back to lurking mode 😅
Cuz it comes with less stats on the item itself and our cds don't line up with it
just as well i got it at 610 then 
Crest saver
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask you what the priority is for me to put my two embellishment items? Ty for all !
Ideally low stat budget slots
Like bracers/belt/boots/cloak
If you plan on crafting shield you can also slam it on there unless you will have easy access to 639 shields
(first boss drops literally everything, 1h + 2h and shield)
3rd boss drops 1 hand crit haste weapon
if you can make it that far and loot that item
T11 delves are hard lol, getting one shot
Might actually need to be recommended ilvl for it
I have that one and that’s the only trinket I got so far on your entire list too haha. I did a T8 delve yesterday and got some garbage candle wick trinket which wasn’t even on the list 😭
I have that one too :(
No shield drop either
Yeah here too. Everyone was posting shields and I got so happy lol. Bad luck
I need just shield and belt
lfr was good to me
hell, i wont complain
this trinket is the one i spoke of GARBAGE
yeah raid boss drops our weapons and shield, sadly im not the guild tank so im not seeing those for the near term 😦
chance to deal 70k dmg ST and if your lucky it crits for double
total dog shit delete trinket, only reason i didnt deleted it yet is cuz veteran tier
literal first thing i will vendor delete once veteran + geared
I’m tired of deleting trinkets. They should just give extra talents or something else for tanks
it has a purpose for now, i can boosted its ilvl and then boosted a second one, eventually upgrade trinkets to 606 i think it is without carved only valors
yep 606 is the roof for now until we get m+
i was 586 ever since like saturday on pwar, most of my gear is tertiary
Worth crafting anything this week?
so, gunna be slow for gear for me
idk... i think crafted gear will get you to 581? i guess we will need to wait for harbringers runes to make something worth to craft
Yeah I’ve got it aswell, it’s not great. Doing around 3% of my damage from its proc on pure single target
Unless your mythic raiding or going for some crazy push keys it’s a jog not a sprint
What level keys to we have to hit to get keystone master?
7’s
Candle wick is better
Alot better
looted a 603 one today
every time I try to use an external emote (and can't) in this discord a little piece of me dies
It’s not terrible in ST
i ran it in a heroic im pretty sure, could have been lfr
but it only did what it said it does on the box and not a hell of alot more, and not a too often to boot
it seems like it needs to charge up before it goes off like you have to attack only the same target til it builds some form of stacks, shown or hiddn
i wasnt impressed with its contribution to dmg, at least its veteran and str stick
assas rogue shitting pants
sounds alot like deadly poison TBH
give that shit to your rogue, or your hunter, and watch them go wild on the dps charts
mmmhmm it is
wasnt the one listed on your wowhead guide it was the other one with crit only
simmed 25k less dps than my 577 trinkets lol
sorry messed up the names
Candle is the on use that grants ton of haste
That one is good
Wildfire wick is absolute trash garbage
Straight up F tier
yeah haha
another candle
that looks way better
what slots are you guys sending carveds on
i figured would do weapon and shield if i ever get a new shield
ya, last night got this on my bdk
realllly would have liked that on warrior
So got a 603 shield from delves, got super excited..... but then saw it has no stam? Wtg
I got the 610 version on my DK
dont know if its good
but at least I have a 610 and 613 trinket now XD
Yeah, though at least now you can upgrade an m0 shield for free
^ the real gains
Fair enough
yall also know about the PVP crafted gear yea?
relatively easy to get 610 crafted pieces
Feel like the world/delve tank specific stuff is terrible. Also got a 610 trinket that only slightly reduces make attacks by like 22k... some really unexciting loot
tank trinkets are pretty piss this tier
shield and weapon ilvl gives you + to stats that no other item can directly boost
you can only make meaningful gains in block power through block value, which is only on shield
who knows, we might get some tuning
would be pretty bad design if Ara Kara trinket is BiS for literally everyone
The one in hallowfall
should buff other passive trinkets
they pretty much all completely fucking suck
also the bee trinket is insanely op
mastery one is good, but im not a fan of it
its that damn puzzle box from DF AA i think it is all over again
on use, mastery, bleh
no ty
oh did they
Have a solid 3 hours today for first time since early access.
Is delves what i should be doing or?
ohh raid open this week, thought it was next 😮
solo or group delves?
you can prob solo
but I found 2 person delves at level 8 to be the sweet spot
no healers though
tank+dps player+dps brann
Yeah, solo is fine, but it's easier/faster/more fun to bring a dps friend.
Or healer friend I guess.
And you'll help someone run a t8 a lot smoother that way too. Can only imagine how annoying they are for solo healers for instance
What debuffs do y'all track on your plater (or blacklist)
I think I'm finally tired of how crowded my plater gets in dungeons
I think I should just hide bleeds and punished since that stuff just happens naturally
can't think of why I would need to see em
make sure you guys are running curse forge every morning
typically i wake up run that, and it tells me at least 3 addons, some times up to lik 8 -10 have an update ready, crucial for dungeons if its dbm or mdt or something gets updates
Thanks yogi!!
i blacklisted pretty much all the "happens anyway" debuffs
so rend/deep wounds, TC debuff / demo shout
Yeah I guess we're not really a class that needs to track debuffs
other than stuns I suppose
i only really kept the CC stuff to be able to see how long they got left
if someone didnt get ccd
healers are poop in delves
a visual reminder to get deep wounds up isnt the worst thing on visual clutter
they make things hit harder
Deep Wounds just happens though
but punish is pretty useless information
idk sometimes in all of the spam and procs ill forget to revenge once
you def do not want to bring a healer if you're duoing delves
thinking about it, you definitely don't need them for high-damage boss delves either since you'd just kill the boss within one rotation of w/e
it's slightly annoying for the dps to have to selfheal between packs tho
(fwiw when nimchip and i were trio'ing delves earlier, i healed and we still killed the stinging swarm boss in 1 stinging swarm, so i don't think me being dps would really have mattered)
could just be REALLY bad at ele tho
is it one of these things i have to pay attention or i lose the key and or loot for the delve
I think the stinging swarm thing is overtuned
didn't kill me in a +8 though
deleted my friend (healer) tho
how many players can you take to it? i wonder if aug or enhance shamans are good for em
5
well, with 5 i assume monster boss will be very stronger
He was healing and he couldn't heal himself through it?

yea it was hitting like 1.5m a tick
Ok
I literally healed through it
and 2 other nerds last night
and I was typing the whole time
it was weird cause
He did that ability a few times and some of the times it did no damage to me at all
Your friend is weak. He will not survive the coming winter (keys)
and other times it took me down to 20%
through defensives
I genuinely think it's bugged
Are we playing the same game?
nimchip was literally on his like 540 ilvl ret pally and I was outdpsing him as resto
@lusty grotto
he can vouch for this i was literally typing mid stinging swarm
while healing us through it
think i even cast a lava burst in it
we only got one
i remember this because i was specifically thinking "oh i'll probably have to ascendance the next one" and then the boss was dead
It's all meaningless without logs
It was ticking a ridiculous amount of damage
for us
I feel like group comp affects it a lot
maybe tank + healer is like gigabad
🤨
Ours didn't die very fast at all either
granted my friend died so I was soloing lmao
I did 8 delves as tank+healer
Healers offsets bad dage by picking rage curio for brann
Brann does nice dmg with it
Yeah I did a bunch of delves with my friend too, that was the only time he died
Swarm was doing big damage but i pressed s defensive and it was fine
bad damage
think every healer can do 2-400k st rn
You dont have to heal a tank (pwar atleast) in delves
more on the lower end if not rdruid
Y'all acting like we struggled through delves
I don't know how to do 400k st on healer priest
it was just that singular ability that for some reason chunked him for 90% of his health every tick
granted he was 550 ilvl
that might be relevant
I struggled in a fungal delve on a dh
it hurt me too though, but inconsistently so I'm just saying it feels like a weird ability
Died twice to fel rush and hunt into shit on final boss and ragequit
Very hard class
That delve with the light dash thing pissed me off
boss is like on a tiny platform and if you press the action ability while moving backwards you just yeet off the platform
lmao
luckily you can quickly just zip back on but man
Disc priest if very fun btw
hello
Yeah I levelled one
ppl are playing punish or execute on hc?
feels kinda same as DF disc but I guess the voidblast thing is cool af
and shields seem a little stronger this time
Both visuals and sound
But radiance still having trouble with stairs any los thing and pets
Smite
Halo (does damage)
🤷 (think only rdruids and maybe farseer rshams can do 400k st)
Raid healing on disc is great
It might not be optimal (idk) but triple halo for holy is pretty poggers
I wrote a weakaura text with ramp timers and just laid back until i had to ramp
1m damage a second is not "90% of your hp every tick," nontanks in ~550-590 have roughly 3-4M hp
Maybe he had ilvl from shitty slots
those have hp 🤷
Whats wrong with it?
the boss gives you zero melee uptime and the mechanic they apparently planned for the aoe ticks is bugged
Was fine for me
the boss does a periodic ticking aoe that ticks for several mils per tick that should be avoidable via thepuddles but isnt
Bring rdps friend if you're struggling
and the tuning for solo vs duo seems to be switched
It didn't tick that hard for me
bc on duo it seems to just hit for less according to wowhead
It feels easier overall as duo compared to solo tank. I think I heard Sloot mention something about that too on stream.
I know I'll be bringing a friend every day to delves. Win win 
You can also just drag people in via group finder. Any old random could be useful.
I thought you could leap away and out range it
woo
They're going to bail after first boss
I once again wish for a oenalty for leavers to be implemented faster
I personally recommend banning them for 4 years. Helps the gen pop and the leaver; they don't want to play the game anyway
i'd be down for a first boss only m0 ara-kara
I'm fine with first boss only,
it's definitely easier, as long as your dps friend isn't dog
don't bring a healer they're just going to heal themselves
I'm not fine with full run groups having people ditch because "FUCK U CHET ME DPS BY NO DROP TRINKY REEEEEEE" as they pull 20k dps
I don't think I am, considering how people act.
But I also am very biased against WoW players in general, since I have very few good experiences with people. Like I always say, I play this game in spite of the community.
Like, yesterday I had a rogue bitch me out the entire run for not optimizing to "muh damage" and not going fast enough, then he said fuck you to everyone in chat when he didn't get sac brood and he dipped
You play the game in spite of the community but then join a discord for the game where you become even more entrenched within the community
Which is, funny enough, almost what I posted above
i did a bunch of heroics last week where people left midrun
it was fine? waited like <30s to get a new fill
and we finished?
🤨
Heroics have a queue system behind them
We still finished the M0 with the 4 of us, as well,
But like,
he's spitting tho fr...
You don't go up to someone, agree to a meet, and then tell them all to fuck off halfway through the event because you're butthurt
I joined to become better at playing Prot War
I only started talking once I saw people I wanted to talk to
So like
Your armchair philosophy didn't work out, sorry
It isn’t armchair philosophy. It’s noting that you aren’t practicing quality self care
Please take care of yourself
he ain't wrong
as always, if the pug community doesn't make you enjoy the game, the solution is to find a community of people to play the game with that would
i think there's still that one discord that's like low stress m+ or whatever idr what the actual name of that shit is
true
i did a few m0s as ele last night/day before and holy hell
the pug healers out there are struggling
we had a good one last night
just got this havent looked into it at all is this any good
but we also had 4 guildies
had a holy priest doing 0 damage and whole group was sitting at 50% hp for like 40 seconds like
and pulling M0s like it was heroic
i was just sitting there thinking like "damn what are u doing literally"
begging to drink water every pull somehow
despite doing negative healing
pug healers refuse to press CDs
I swear when I was doing normal spam for leveling I would get so triggered just watching HPals sitting on wings and aura mastery
like bro, Im going boss to boss; press your damn CDs

i recommend finding people you wanna play with
like the mythic plus friends discord and stuff!
and its not a matter of me dying... just taking longer cause people be dying
yeah idr where i said this but all the newbie healers in healing discs rn are complaining about tanks being squishy

and I was like "it's the same for you, most common new tank/healer mistake is to just not use cds"
kek
I’ve only leveled my prot warrior thus far so I’m not sure how other specs and roles are experiencing the expansion but I have noticed healers are extremely varied right now in skill
the circles on the first boss of ara kara clapped me man
😮
also gonna be honest, m0 is m10 and everyone coming in at 570 is undergeared and gonna be squishy
and that's okay
it'll just make runs when people are geared easier
spider boss over powered
edged stormbringer cast for a whole 6 seconds because they were overthinkin when to use it
insanely based
i wanna watch the video see what happened

Keys will actually be easier because the buffs are absurdly generous
weirdly enough
first time we did it, it ate ALL the adds and i got hit for 6.5 LOL
swirl apparently
lol I saw the spiders and thought I needed to tank them
So I leapt over to them and the boss ate them and we were like oh no oh no oh no
Got absolutely clapped. Was hilarious
btw wowhead or icy guide?
just getting back into prot (i know late) and want to pick it up quicky
neither updated nvm
I jusdt crafted a shield, would a weapon or wrist be better for the next craft? mainly a M+ player and don't do any mythic raids
?
linked in faq are pre patch but i found the season 1 builds in there so all g
Both of them are updated?
I mean, our advice is to wait and see how tuning of embellishments play out
but you can craft what you want
yeah the ones linked in faq are for pre patch but i used my smooth chicken cutlet brain and navigated to the season 1 ones lol
is mastery still lightyears behind the other secondaries
lightyears is a strong term
like, at equal levels other stats will be worth more usually (sim to confirm)
Hollyy ele blaster
yea it owns one of the best cast timelines i've ever seen
yeah im in queue now...im play fury and prot about equally so trying to decide what stat combo and im pretty sure haste/mastery is the best of both worlds
for a crafted piece
focus on your fury set
and follow that stat prio
luckily thats haste mastery or vers mastery so why not grab the haste
seems fine to me
just literally doesn't matter, people do top world keys with unoptimized secondaries
especially this early in the season like...
yea, but for crafted
you wanna choose the right stats now
so you dont have to buy another missive
thats a gold loss

im going to craft this once and then recraft with an enchanted crest and never think about it again
Which garbage trinket do I decide to use? Shadow-Binding Ritual Knife or Wildfire Wick 😦
i believe in the heart of the cards, so i will get lucky on a wep drop
doesnt Ritual Knife unironically sim really well
well
the first one you have to cast the onuse for 1.5s
if that changes your mind on anything
i don't think you can move while drinking either but idr exactly didn't bother using it because, well, yeah
the Silken Chain Weaver seems decent for M+/trash
it also has full Str on it
the other one is half prim stat
If you guys happen enchant your ring, prefer radiant haste or cursed haste?
I preferred gold so not cursed~
Im a believer in more stats>best stats
Yeah it does actually, thanks lol
so a normal haste enchant seems better to me
Radiant level 3 : +315 Haste
Cursed level 3: +390 Haste -115 Vers
So not about more stat, more like the other got more stat but there is penalty. Or you mean normal as in the Radiant one without penalty?
its +75 haste for -115 vers. Net total stat is -40
ima keep the 115 vers
Hey im on TarrenMill EU and need a shield crafting, any recommendations?
ah shoot the drop is from boss priory oh well.
Fungal Folly 8 solo with brann Healing. Any tip for last boss ?
Spinshroom
I feel like I just ran from the spin
He may have taken damage from the spore explosions? I can’t 100% confirm that part though
so for catalyst, we want to only do it when we can achieve the highest ilvl piece to xfer possible?
more like to complete your tier set, so don't catalyst too soon
just farm normally and see what you miss.
Is 25k nothing? There's a resto shaman totem that does the same, but for 20k, and the standard resto build recommends it.
yeah because it's raidwide and not for you
it's used for the dps/healers who don't have a fuckton of armor and spam 1m absorbs on themselves every other gcd
perhaps there are extenuating circumstances that would make this worse for a tank!
Ain’t no way you’re comparing it to EWT lmfao
EWT on sire went crazy
I don't think that, just saying 25k is not a trivial amount.
If you’re taking a shitload of 30k hits then yeah it would be bis
But that’s not the case
That sounds toxic in the most literal way possible
Also 1344 secondary is fuck all
I guess it depends on how hard we're getting hit. >_> Though honestly all these delve trinkets I'm getting seem to kinda suck.
its like same value as skarmorak but spread out evenly on all secondaries, and risk of dying and shitty CD timer
lol that trinket sucks ass
I guess it lasts for 30secs though
compared to 15
you have like, idk, what, like almost 10m hp in like 610
you think you're getting hit for like 100ks?
Also, does it take damage before or after other factors? There's a big difference between 25k off the final damage calculation and the initial incoming damage.
no one knows because it would be dogshit either way
and it's a delve only trinket so it was hard to get to test (if anyone even wanted to)
_> Dammit, waste of a fucking key.
Well not really
That key lead to this lovely conversation
There’s value in learning things, friend
if they up the secondary number and make it a 3 min CD
would line up with human racial
On a related topic, my Brann is no longer getting xp.
He got to 38 and just kinda... stopped. This intended?
I believe I read a wowhead headline that claimed Brann only gets xp in bountiful delves at some point?
Yeah, I'm doing those. :x
I guess your brann is too strong
No longer getting xp or Delver's Journey. Wondering if they hotfixed it to stop people at a certain point so we can't just use alts to max him the first week.
so, if i do more mythic zeros, all the bosses spells are gunna basically 1 shot if i didnt do it right ya?
?
cuz i guess they are supposed to be equal to a 10 now
i didnt play in season 4, so that part of its new, i went to run ara kara and i got clapped in 2.5 gcds
That might be a gear issue, friend, m0s hit hard, but not that hard.
i haven't done ara-kara yet but trash should definitely not kill you in 2.5 gcds
unless you did the same pull you did for heroic and used 0 cds
yogi I feel like you know better than to not charge fresh pulls and not shield wall right away just in case
when it's like really newish content
didnt move out of the web spirals, 2 of them landed on me, took a bunch of dmg , then it says 2.3m and im dead
