Using both
Into the fray for raid and heavy on m+

warm plinth
#

Then idk, you should have no issues maintaining it with HR

#

In raid, it would be expected to have downtime

#

if using ItF

tribal wharf
#

in short, if youi play right, you have 100% uptime on it

queen hemlock
#

Mm yea should get some logs

#

Will do and return later

warm plinth
#

You should look up your toon on WCL

#

You might already have some.

#

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

you can tell who cant raid ffxiv for shit on it lmao

neon elk

Is this some raiding stuff im too m+ to understand ?

jagged gust
# slim current Lmk once you get it figured out

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

lusty grotto
#

1st piece

jagged gust
#

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

lusty grotto
#

that got me this

Is it plater profiles or an additional addon/WA that shows enemy cooldowns

How does the spell reflect work on Ovi

Does it affect the raid damage portion?

no idea

We got it down like 10 minutes ago after some positional optimizing

lusty grotto
#

nah

#

we got here too late tbh

#

we're about done

#

oh dont worry

lone eagle
#

We used a modified version of this

lusty grotto
#

yes we have something like that

#

this is ours ours was innacurate

lone eagle
#

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

bleak parcel
#

hey how's throngus's finger?

pallid quiver
#

DOES IT HAVE DODGE

#

DID YOU GET IT?

bleak parcel
#

yes

pallid quiver
#

I need to know

#

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

bleak parcel
#

well wdym have dodge

#

like static roll?

pallid quiver
#

the dodge stat

#

the one that doesn't exist

bleak parcel
#

it procs dodge but it doesnt have it statted lol

pallid quiver
#

anyhow it's probably not super great overall, since we're not dying much

bleak parcel
#

yeah thats what I figured

#

I also got the warband version of mark of khardos sadgers

#

i didnt even know that could happen LMFAO

lusty grotto
#

you can get warband anything

#

@proper roost give me a few

waxen orbit
#

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?

jagged gust
#

I wonder what checking them would lead to

#

we'll never know I suppose

waxen orbit

You can assume I checked the pinned here

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

lone eagle
#

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

meager abyss
#

GENTLEMEN

#

what embellishments are we running

lone eagle
#

WoWhead recommendations are double crit or vers lining but tbh I don't trust it

#

swapping off of those to try Ascendance soon

warm plinth
#

You don't trust it? 🤔

small comet
#

should i be waiting to use my catalyst armor upgrades till i get champ gear or should i send on myth tier?

warm plinth
#

How do you think they got those recommendations sir?

small comet
#

*veteran tier maxes at 606 ilvl

lone eagle
#

the 80% health qualifier is pretty meh

tired vessel
#

the sims normally have an uptime % built in for that

lusty grotto
#

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

stray gazelle
#

got this from delves is this considered bis in your guys opinion losing stam kinda sucks extra armor decent for more dam tho

warm plinth
#

what in the actual fuck is that 😂

pallid quiver
#

They really need to implement the leaver penalty faster

lone eagle
# lusty grotto its not

Fair, was mostly going off reading it and having some skepticism but if the grace period is super favorable I can see it

warm plinth
#

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.

neon elk
warm plinth
#

good point

There's catch-up on sparks right

how the fuck do i fix this

#

i didnt do anything and it just created the 2nd one today for some reason

#

warm plinth
#

idk just click the delete button? XD

lusty grotto
#

but it has logs on one

#

hmm

warm bloom
#

just a backup one

meager abyss
#

should we be running haste / vers while gearing up? to avoid dying, that is

undone beacon
#

Now that dracthyr dont have the tail swipe racial CC, people less likely to race swap?

neon elk
#

Run highest ilvl and pres your butons to not die

warm plinth
meager abyss
#

@neon elk is ilvl really that important?

warm plinth
#

Just follow the normal stat priority. ilevel>haste>crit=vers>mast

warm plinth
neon elk
#

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

slim current
#

second wind. heal when hes burrowed. save major cds during swarm. i took healer brann too.

warm plinth
#

You don't get double jump on dracthyr anyway

#

Just the glide part

undone beacon
#

You get half an a press jump

#

I was considering swapping to Dracthyr from Goblin but I might just stay gobbo. Or go Earthen

warm plinth
#

I just swapped from dwarf to goblin so I could queue heroics with a horde friend keks

neon elk
warm plinth
#

No, dracthyrs have never had double jump

neon elk
#

Realy ? Am i triping or what ? xd

undone beacon
#

You dont get any extra height as dracthyr

warm plinth
#

It's a pretty common misconception, so don't feel bad lol

#

Yeah, DH is space = jump, space again = jump higher, space again = glide

neon elk
#

Och , well one less reason to not swap

warm plinth
#

Dracthyr is space = jump, space again = glide

undone beacon
#

Jump -> Glide vs Jump -> Jump -> glide, yeah

neon elk
#

Good good

undone beacon
#

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

warm plinth
#

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

undone beacon
#

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

warm plinth
#

Good if you're a healer in keys though!

#

To earthen or drac?

undone beacon
warm plinth
#

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

neon elk
#

Darkiron ftw

undone beacon
#

Pffffft lmfao

warm plinth
#

Just RP that shit so you're still a goblin

#

Just one that was so lazy you turned to stone

undone beacon
#

Always a goblin at heart

#

Too good of a warband screen tho

warm plinth
#

My hunter is a female goblin

#

Because female goblins have the greatest (and it's not close) feign death animation in the game.

undone beacon
#

I'm hoping we get an industrial/mech/goblin themed warband screen

undone beacon
#

We'll see what the future holds, I also dont neccesarrily want to give more money to blizz than I have to lol

warm plinth
#

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

undone beacon
#

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

meager abyss
#

is Drac'thyr really that good?

jagged gust
#

+30% speed is enough to get me to swap

coarse lynx
#

think dwarf still the best.

#

but speed is nice

pastel sleet
#

will catalyst be once a week or once every other week this season?

neon elk
#

Every other iir

lusty grotto
#

catalyst should be weekly

#

spark 1 half every week so every 2 weeks

neon elk
#

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

lusty grotto
#

i stand corrected then

neon elk
#

Its a shame tho, still hope for change

round cliff
#

is stinging swarm just guaranteed death

#

how tf

neon elk
#

Nah its doable at 8

round cliff
#

how tho...

#

i press shield wall for one of em, last stand for another, then its gg

neon elk
#

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

ionic fern
#

Don't forget to defensive stance.

neon elk
#

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

round cliff
#

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

neon elk
#

Yea just spam that shit, so low cd

ionic fern
round cliff
#

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

neon elk
#

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

round cliff
#

is a knowledge check

proper roost
#

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

slim current
# round cliff is a knowledge check

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

round cliff
#

i didnt even press shield wall when i killed it lol

#

def stance + spell reflect + demo shout = it does no damage gg

And then go from there.

There's no content that requires high ilvl shield

round cliff
#

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

strong forum
#

Get a habit of pressing IP between globals

#

That's what I do

round cliff
#

i usually do

strong forum
#

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

round cliff
#

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

strong forum
#

Same goes for outburst, you see you're 1/2 IP away from outburst and SS is coming up

#

So you IP > outburst SS

round cliff
#

yea i try to do that too

strong forum
#

I don't have 2 IP binds

#

Only 1

round cliff
#

yea same

strong forum
#

K

round cliff
#

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

strong forum
#

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

round cliff
#

i havent even tried to rly learn execute rotation yet

#

in my head its just
execute if >60

chilly brook
#

Press execute and profit

round cliff
#

press revenge then execute if 40

#

gg probably good

chilly brook
#

Jk don’t listen to me I haven’t even gotten my warrior to 71

rich beacon

Just let the other tank have aggro in raid and press execute 😄

strong forum

But

strong forum
#

You get so many TBs and SS resets you barely get time to send execute

chilly brook
strong forum
#

That's the hard part

round cliff
#

why 70

strong forum
#

Das what sim said

chilly brook
#

So you can still SB

round cliff
#

we trust the robot around here

strong forum
#

Sim said 70 more dmg than 60

round cliff
#

PRAISE THE MACHINE

chilly brook
#

Automated maths is great

round cliff
#

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 :(

strong forum
#

Yeah but not SB

#

Or IP

round cliff
#

ah ig so

strong forum
#

IP is 35 so you get it rather quickly

#

That would be my thot process

round cliff
#

but if ur in execute phase and not spending rage on ip dumps to tank

#

shouldnt u be pressing more revenge

#

than ip

strong forum
#

Revenge??

#

No

#

Revenge is only there to reset SS

round cliff
#

oh ip reset ss inbetween gcd

#

so its better

#

ok robot makes sense now

strong forum
#

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

round cliff
#

still tho how are u getting up to 70 rage if ur spending IP on resets

strong forum
#

Who says you're doing that in execute

round cliff
#

well if u ss and clap and nothing resets and ur below 70

#

u gotta press something

strong forum
#

That's when you revenge

round cliff
#

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN

strong forum
#

You didn't specify your scenario lol

round cliff
#

i thought we've been talking abt execute 😭

strong forum
#

Yeah but you never specified that both tc and SS aren't ready

round cliff
#

well if ur builders r ready u press them

#

no exceptions

strong forum
#

Like execute rota is just hard

#

Cuz you get so much rage and can barely spend it on execute

round cliff
#

prob easier to just figure it out than talk abt it

Cuz execute resets SS

Ok thank you i will check that 🙂

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

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.

But bis profile for dmg has roughly 15k haste and 16k crit

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.

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%

honest hare

yikes xD

As close to 100 as possible

honest hare
#

ok... so how do i improve that? more blockchance through crit orbetter use of SB etc.?

sullen wadi
#

are all the delve trinkets just completely useless?

blazing condor

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

Thanks everyone 😁

Also sometimes holding off on sending SB when not actively tanking

honest hare
#

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?

Goal should be as close to 0 as possible

You missed out on 1 entire outburst cast and probably 1 entire avatar cast

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

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

tribal wharf
#

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+

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

no healers though

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)

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
