Quite literally confidence like I said/imposter syndrome

#

I always question myself on jumping to a more progressed guild because I haven’t done the fights etc. but at the end of the day every time I’ve done it it’s like no big deal, pick it up in 3-5 pulls

robust urchin
#

Imposter syndrome is used very liberally these days are you sure you had that?

chilly brook
#

Yes

#

I get paid to do my job, I still feel like sometimes I don’t belong

#

Even though I’m obviously good enough to make it a career

robust urchin
#

You can also mark areas yogi did you know that?

chilly brook
#

I’m just always in my own head

#

Biggest critic

solid sun
#

I just want a dedicated group that knocks out heroic in a timely manner

#

Preferably one that lets me tank, but that seems impossible

tribal wharf
#

yep, i am quite accustom to using the world markers

#

i dont want to have to use em, i wish more groups would use world markers or markers in general

urban basin
#

What´s the word on the street regarding crafts for prot warri?

chilly brook
#

Idk you check the pins or the FAQ?

tribal wharf
#

if i can do an entire key with only marking my self as square for tank and literal nothing else in the entire key, and nobody dies and we like 2 chest the key

#

i am over the fucking moon

solid sun
#

I don’t ever use markers in dungeons

urban basin
solid sun
#

I ping sometimes though

robust urchin

That’s what I do

But it doesn’t hit the same as having a full squad

And pugs left me 6/8 N. I am a baby

# tribal wharf

I feel like pins have completely made markers irrelevant in most contexts

tribal wharf
#

what are the best delves to run as a beginner to them

icy flax
#

Pings*

tribal wharf
#

i only need 1 zero so i will run something i know already

icy flax
#

I love being able to ping things

brittle owl
#

yogi uou don't want to talk with your old pal mael

toxic pewter
tribal wharf
#

literal world wide irl

icy flax
#

There's an on my way ping

toxic pewter
#

markers still play a huge role imo, most people ignore pings

icy flax
#

Also I've never had someone use the arrow to communicate walk thru here but I don't pug much

robust urchin
#

I don't even know how to use pings

#

🥺

tribal wharf
#

they exist for until you place it new place, and doesnt despawn, is the purpose

icy flax
#

If u ignore pings you might be brain damaged

toxic pewter
#

yeah in pugs markers are crucial for example in broodtwister heroic I did yesterday, raid lead marked the eggs

icy flax
#

Yes for raids it has great use but dungeons less so

tribal wharf
#

sometimes rarely i will put a skull x world marker for a general "kill location"

icy flax
#

Sorry I was talking in the context of dungeons

#

You have meanings assigned to these markers that I'd never know happy to learn now tho

robust urchin

At what point should I swap from Heavy Repercussions to Into the Fray? Sitting at 17k Haste rn

anyone know how to hide nameplates if they are too far above/below you? is that even a thing?

I want battle-scarred veteran. What are my options for trading talent points? thanks

strong forum
#

dropping shield charge + champions bulwark and picking up bolster + bsv

rotund moon
#

thanks!

mellow quartz
#

now that is a nice drop

strong forum
#

i mean

#

all youre doing is save like 10k gold

mellow quartz
#

vs that pvp crap?

#

dont deal with that

strong forum
#

no?

#

you can just slam 2 sockets

#

on every jewelery

#

the setting works on all pve rings and necks

#

so you get 6 sockets for free

#

so every ring and neck is viable

#

cuz you dont need vault socket first

mellow quartz
#

well I clearly havent paid much attention lol but also not even bothered looking at them yet considering the prices of gems yet

#

none of my gear is enchanted or has gems right now

#

to cheap for that shit in this early gear

#

will replace it all next week most likely anyway

orchid mural
#

you can extract it from his raid WA.

toxic pewter
#

nome im sorry if u addressed this before but do u think the meta .15% crit from various gem colors is worth it

mellow quartz
#

it was a minor dps gain

#

I'll personally do the speed one I think

#

to zoom zoom in keys

inland raft
#

13% haste feels so bad, cant wait to start optimizing stats

violet ginkgo
inland raft
#

o i know been a prot main since vanilla with only occassionally dabbling in other classes/specs just complaining to complain

violet ginkgo
#

oh yeah guys for raid purpose if there is multi adds involved like Ulgrax, Ovi'Nax and Ansurek. Is taking Crackling Thunder Talent to make TC AoE Bigger a valid move or nah no need to take the talent. the normal AoE is enough?

forest fern
# robust urchin 🥺

i mean in a raid you'll likely have 5-6 md's, i don't think gathering range will be an issue

kind urchin
#

Have any of you guys managed to kill Zekvir ?? solo since the changes?

shut summit
#

gotten him to 40%, problem is brann just gets 1shot in p2

#

p1 is pretty easy / reproducible but then brann just dies

violet ginkgo
#

do we have chance to revive brann midfight?

jagged pier
#

not on that one

#

i cant realiably get through p1 my bran just wont intuprt sometimes

#

they need to do some fixes to bran at least

#

but then again could also be gear warrior isnt my main so low ilvl

kind urchin
#

Brann is... Sketchy at best.

jagged pier
#

ive seen him disenage into fear

#

so many times

shut summit
#

ye if brann is on his bird he wont kick

kind urchin
#

He keeps getting hit by everything in P1 for me.

jagged pier
#

ive seen him kick on bird once

#

not while getting on bird tho

shut summit
#

avatar removes the dot so if they line up can just wait on avatar couple secs incase brann fucks up

strong forum
#

gotta wait for nerfs

inland raft
#

should make him auto swap to whatever player is targeting its not as good as direct control but easier to implement

strong forum
#

cuz its currently just bugged

strong forum
#

brann isnt supposed to be 1shot by spikes

jagged pier
#

but just fixing brann would be fine

kind urchin
#

He likes to not target the cocoon too.

strong forum
#

get the big shot idol

jagged pier
#

with a bit more gear cocoon wouldnt be the problem

shut summit
#

you can force the egg to spawn under the boss, dont really have an issue with him not targetting them

kind urchin
#

How do you force it?

inland raft
#

push him in a corner

shut summit
#

tank him up on the stage in a corner

jagged pier
#

i managed to get him to do it near the entrance door

#

for 3 eggs in a row

#

felt like it was pixle stacking tho

#

to do that there

inland raft
#

ya anywhere that boxes him in he will do on top of himself

violet ginkgo
#

oh yeah meanwhile Jakey/Nome is here, can you help me with something?

strong forum
#

if you pick the idol of final will he will 1shot egg with it

#

so thats not a problem

jagged pier
#

if it procs at the right time

strong forum
#

it procs at the right time 90% of the time

#

if not itll just 1shot the spider instead

inland raft
#

i was trying to use rage-filled but he consistently would die every egg spawn

jagged pier
#

nah that bad

#

for the fight

#

u cant have brann down for 30 secs

tribal wharf
#

we kept wiping to final boss of arakara some reason

trim condor
#

is there currently any spec in game who can do ,,let me solo him,, achiv? I just tried it on hunter, prot war and ddruid and tanks dont have dps for that and my hunter got 3,5M melee hit from boss, Bran is folding in 10 secs

strong forum
#

no

violet ginkgo
strong forum
#

its currently impossible

strong forum
#

because of the delve changes they hotfixed on friday

jagged pier
#

now no cause brann is the issue

tribal wharf
#

i think people werent doing the oil pools right

trim condor
jagged pier
jagged pier
#

might be gear

violet ginkgo
#

I see so normal size AoE is enough and make it bigger is just optional. Thx Jakey.

trim condor
jagged pier
#

u dont have 2 inturpts to do on ?

#

he doesnt have a heal on that difficulty

#

so u should be able to get it everytime

#

maybe he still melees like crazy on ? as well

true plaza
#

who said we prot warriors need dps buffs?

proud dock
#

for bloodhound, the tank above should be on the right adjacent platform right? to maximize turn time for team under?

trim condor
tribal wharf
#

what is a good strategy for final boss of ara kara, that boss hurts

trim condor
tribal wharf
#

i forgot that the webs hit for 3 million, but it turned to utter chaos

true plaza
#

thjis btw shows all my dps whole day

#

so the guys in my group wasnt even top 5

#

they are 7 9 and 10

#

11*

trim condor
#

I play multiple tanks, war is not bad dps, but other tanks do insane dps

true plaza
#

yea dunno about the others

#

I know blood dk might be even better

#

never bothered about the rest

#

dont like them hahaha

trim condor
#

youre posting detail numbers without context, can be anything tbh. Reflectable bosses/pulls are crazy good on meters forr example

tribal wharf
#

15% more often vampiric strikes

true plaza
#

yea just showing u numbers dont wanna sim to hell now what I did etc I didnt even really care I was amazed myself bro xD

#

I was like yo wth my damage goes brrr

trim condor
#

in S4, ddetails like this was showed on stream andd youtoube video at academy pull(brewmaster). They get dmg nerfed and when you checked details of dps, it was 50% trinket 😄

true plaza
#

im so mad at this tho

#

I dont get a pair of boots bois

#

wthj

#

they need to go asap

true plaza
#

its a great trinket

tribal atlas
icy violet
#

Hi, today I got Throngus's Finger with 1144 versatility and 515 speed. Is it a good trinket?

strong forum
#

it can provide some defensive fun

#

its like 15% dodge

#

but id not actively use it

icy violet
#

Ok, well I'll keep it until I get something better. Thanks

pallid quiver
#

I love that they just let it have the dodge rating

#

I still find it funny as hell

tender cove
#

Best i could do for the week. Have to go business trip and wont be back until after reset 😦

tropic tangle
#

eh, the play this week is probably a socket anyway

tender cove
#

Its 1 more delve but plane leaves in literally 7 hours and need some sleep 😮

Brann messaged me, he said you're a little bitch

I’ve been hanging with the homie Brann so much he’s starting to leave his mark on me. What’s that smell?? 👃 lol

cerulean tusk
#

If I had to guess - DPS blew CDs on trash

#

cause you pull slow

true plaza
#

bois maybe im lucky but I did all 4 for today

true plaza
#

sometimes people just dont do min maxing I suppose

#

just casual

#

which is totally fine btw

cerulean tusk
#

Hydrate Dont attack the Fury, if you cant handle the Fury

true plaza
#

I will attack u bro

#

come hereee dude

cerulean tusk
#

I will use my Mod🛡️

true plaza
#

we dont need mods on skyhold

#

we are all warriors

cerulean tusk
#

Ya know we do, you seen our chats

true plaza
#

hahaha

#

bois what ilvl should I be to get into heroic raids

#

wanna do heroic tomorrow as tank

#

I got 605 am I good to go?

pallid quiver
#

620 ilvl with CE

cerulean tusk
#

As high as you can get, but there is no 'limit'

true plaza
#

bro what

#

620?!

pallid quiver
#

that's a 630 ilvl now

cerulean tusk
#

635 in another 2min

true plaza
#

I mean I will pug anyway

#

dont have a guild

lucid nimbus
#

we still use authority of depths on weapon?

pallid quiver
#

You can 100% clear it in 59x gear decently comfortably if mechs are being done

true plaza
#

yea man it slaps

pallid quiver
#

But getting into a pug that can do that is going ti be hard

true plaza
#

or are there some additions

pallid quiver
#

And as always, pug joining reqs are somethin'

true plaza
#

will look up a guide then to prepare

pallid quiver
#

For example, 2nd boss adds in a spinny laser of doom you have to deal with

inland raft
true plaza
pallid quiver
#

1st boss is 100% the same, though

true plaza
#

what item will u go for in ur first vault bois

#

if u get what u really want ofc

pallid quiver
#

I think all the others have at least something extra for heroic

true plaza
#

like what would be first priority and will u turn that piece to a set piece?

rigid yew
#

Weapon, shield, or tier piece/slot
Unless a miracle happens with trinket
For vault that is

true plaza
#

what would u value higher

#

weapons or tier set

#

I mean I got 0 tier set out of normal raid

#

so I might go for a weapon if possible

rigid yew
#

Doubt you will have to min max tier converts
Personally I just go for weapon then shield then tier slot unless bis trinket from RNG gods

true plaza
#

like sacbrood and so on?

rigid yew
#

You can get anything from dungeons out of dungeon slots

true plaza
#

rejoined retail in tww didnt like the other expansions lol

rigid yew
#

Sacbrood vault would be epic

true plaza
#

yea man its a insane trinket

#

I got the trinket from the court aswell but if meathook isnt nerfed it will stay in my bank lol

tribal wharf
#

okay, well, i have 8/8 dungeon rewards for vault

true plaza
#

but it even gets buufed

rigid yew
#

Crafting weapon and shield is never a bad thing either
Gets you near max ilvl

true plaza
#

its expensive tho 100%

#

im not a rich mf

#

I got like 200k gold

rigid yew
#

I'm near 2 mil
Just hoard and only buy important stuff to you
Getting a boe drop from raid is like guaranteed 400k from ah
If you got one first 2 weeks from heroic could be 600k+

true plaza
#

I like to watch some youtube and just mine some nodes bro

#

thats so nice

#

made some bag out of it

#

nothing crazy but its relaxing

#

hahaha

rigid yew
#

That's what I do sometimes, easy 5k here and there
If you tank, hit up those random bonus queues
I did one 20min heroic got 3 items (bonus stats one time use, raiders use to min max) sold for almost 5k total

jaunty arch
#

is there an agreement already on what piece of gear to craft? I se the maxroll guide say wrist and waist

tribal wharf
#

kikital is going to be pug deleter on tyranical

#

destroyer of hopes

#

should be okay for classes like warlock with aoe stun

mellow quartz
#

Most classes have a way to get free if you are worried about the puddles. It’s the small blobs that channel on you so any freedom, displacement, stun etc effects will work. Shouldn’t be an issue.

#

You can even grip them as a dk to get free.

#

We can stormbolt, shockwave and intimidating shout

safe quartz
#

depends on skill

#

no way to tell

jagged pier
#

Whatever your comfortable with its a +10

proper roost
#

yeah any stops work on the blobs, which was very nice to realize

#

also finally realized how the last boss of stonevault works the other day so that was fun

tribal wharf
#

i still only 589 ilvl

#

zeros arent too rough but its skill required lol

sick sentinel
#

what spec is everyone running, i see half the logs using champ spear and half using thun roar on every fight

mighty valley
#

it’s in the guides — spear for thane, roar for colossus

graceful kite
#

But if they only drop in bountiful only those 30 count

graceful kite
# true plaza we can get dungeon trinkets out of the vault?

Raid row gives raid items from the boss your character has killed, dungeon gives random dungeon item for your loot spec, delve row gives open world/delve loot pool, but all those slots have a fixed chance to become a random tier piece

steel mist
#

guys, im getting hit by ansurek for 4.1 mill. which ability is that?

#

that is in last phase

tropic tangle
#

combat log should tell you the ability

steel mist
#

all i can see is melee with dreadful presence

#

did she gets buffed in this phase?

jagged pier
#

Taking melees without shield block up

tropic tangle
#

that was my first thought, not sure why that last melee was so heavy though

sick sentinel
mighty valley
tropic tangle
#

were you still tanking after getting hit with Gorge?

warm plinth
#

If they were then they would've taken more from the first one

#

Because they had wall for the big hit

tropic tangle
#

yeah, true

warm plinth
#

and it still did 1.6 mil

rare gust
#

what is the move for first crafted piece?

#

M+ oriendted

sick sentinel
# mighty valley thane

if i could ask you another question what trinkets would you be running after the hook nerf ?

true plaza
#

she also has a tank buster mechanic in her last phase

#

the tank with aggro gets the adds debuff so he needs to run away and she applies a debuff on the OT who taunted her off

#

after adds spawned just let the other tank get back

#

and taunt back again

#

while dps nukes the adds

#

@steel mist

#

lemme check rq

#

there u go

tropic tangle
#

yeah, that should show as the ability though, not a melee

true plaza
#

dunno if that is still shown under the ability

tropic tangle
#

if you look at his log, he took a 600k melee moments before that, then had wall up for the 4 mil hit

true plaza
#

wait he had shield wall and still got hit with 4 mill?

tropic tangle
#

yeah, it's right there in the log

steel mist
#

then the other tank let me died huh

true plaza
#

how

steel mist
#

without taunting off

true plaza
#

if u had gorge on u

#

and he stayed on the adds

#

without any reason

#

yes then he did

#

but if denic is right and the whole damage application started before u even had gorge then u had either not ur shield block up or u got unlucky overkilled

#

but it was the same for us

#

as soon as the other tank gets infested

steel mist
true plaza
#

the other tank who taunts off gets gorge

#

yea there it is

#

gorge

tropic tangle
#

yeah, tanking with gorge

#

is why you're getting clapped on

steel mist
#

So i got screwed bec the other tank didnt taunted off of me

true plaza
#

yup

#

its not ur faulkt

steel mist
#

I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG AND IT WASNT ME

true plaza
#

yea it wasnt ur fault buddy

steel mist
#

goddamn dk tank

true plaza
#

its simple

#

read the abilities

#

dunno why some people struggle on that part

tropic tangle
#

also can't tell if it's just weird output, but keep your shield block up homie

true plaza
#

yea ofc thats also the case

steel mist
#

the thing is the other tank is not aware im not a dk and he thinks that i can heal it off

#

yeah i was full panicking mode since everyone was shouting

#

it was a kill

true plaza
#

not even a dk

#

can heal it off

#

its a tank buster mechanic

tropic tangle
#

DK would have more trouble with that

true plaza
#

yea he would

tropic tangle
#

you can shave 40% of the melee damage by making sure to use SB

#

he's just gonna get gibbed

true plaza
#

u always tank swap on 3rd phase

#

never let a tank get more stacks than 1 or 2

#

and when someone is infested he runs as far as he can

#

dps nukes

#

he comes back to taunt off again

#

at 2 stacks u taunt off again because u want to lose the debuff

#

its the same mechanic as liquefy

steel mist
#

i need to get another set of weakauras to shout at me on ansurek. The discord was hectic and i couldnt concentrate on tanking with all the anxiety all over the place

true plaza
#

while liquefy in 1st phase is even deadlier ngl

#

if u dont taunt immediately the tank gets RIPPED

#

ansurek is eaaaasy bro

#

its not about weakauras

#

u just didnt know

#

ansurek is a stacked boss if we are talking mechanics so yea not everyone will watch a 20 min guide just for her

#

while I gotta say the court is harder than her

#

even tho she has more mechanics

steel mist
#

i mean court was amanageable after 9 tries

true plaza
#

do court on heroic bro

steel mist
#

is it that bad?

true plaza
#

its just annoying

#

u need 2 groups of these linen guys

#

who stop him from charging

#

if 1 dies

#

rip

#

just rate my mog lil bros

steel mist
#

the magic shroom farmer

#

7/10

#

as embarassing as ubisoft

lolwtf that looks like a monk

true plaza
#

thats a warrior tank man

#

find someone who looks tankier as me

green trench
#

Why would Crit be rated higher then Vers? I see a lot of spells going on in dungeons.. am I missing something?

mighty valley
#

Crit gives parry

#

You also see a lot of melee going on in dungeons

#

They’re very close though, don’t stress about one over the other

green trench
#

Sure, but that's a given on all expansions but vers has been regarded higher than crit on all but now 😮

mighty valley
#

Not really

#

We’ve been enjoying crit here for a long time

green trench
#

When ive looked at top players, its been vers > crit until vers"capped"

#

but ok, ur saying Crit is kinda equal to but a bit higher than vers. roger that 😮

chilly brook
#

Vers is overvalued on the top end

#

Always has been

#

Also idk what the vers “cap” is

modest trellis
#

Hi, where can i see the ''popular'' routes for this season? Ty 🙂

mighty valley
#

Everyone got high on 50% vers in bfa and it’s been hard to shake the “tank = vers” meme ever since

chilly brook
#

The season hasn’t even started

#

I mean I guess it has but m+ isn’t out yet

modest trellis
#

Yeye i know, but first exp like tank and dunno if there's some OP page for look the routes

grizzled kite
#

Might be outdated info but cap refers to the penalization of stacking too much of a secondary, right?

chilly brook
#

Don’t overthink this

mighty valley
#

There’s diminishing returns yeah but we don’t usually hit them til later in the expansion

grizzled kite
#

@modest trellisBuild own routes you are comfortable with

tribal wharf

And the first breakpoint is pretty minimal

What’s up chat.
New tank just started this season. Running through mythics pretty well at the moment.

I want to do raid tanking as well, is it a lot harder than mythics? Or is it just knowing the fights? Seems so stressful

What's the situations in which you would run the Execute over the Punish build in raid and visa versa?

That should be fine but idk how picky pugs are about heroic right now

grave jacinth
marsh stone
#

Thane = more IP, Colossus = more damage

ionic fern
#

Both of them are fine in Raid.
Colossus is a more agressive choice with less rage going around.
MT is the better "over-all" performer due to being a solid middle ground of offensive and defensive capabilities.

tribal wharf
#

you will probably find an easier time playing thane

#

but there is absolutely nothing wrong with colossus

marsh stone
#

Yeah, just have to nail demolish, sucks if you miss with it

How big a gain is stance dancing? It's not something I've done in a while

your addon is probably giving you inaccurate information

tribal wharf
#

you just want bigger amount of secondary stats total

pallid quiver

On a literal, non-meme level

have you guys been upgrading your veteran + gear or saving the crests for now?

proud dock
#

if im pulling aggro off other tank in raid, just doing my rotation, is that a me problem? do i go afk until it smy turn to tank?

pallid quiver
#

It's technically other tank problem, as doing dps is directly related to your survival

proud dock
#

ok thanks, just making sure when i said it was the other tank issue, i wasnt being a nutsack

pallid quiver
#

I used to recommend hurting yourself by going into def stance, but

proud dock
#

hm i was in def stance the whole time

pallid quiver
#

At any rate, if you still want to clear, you have to find something about it

proud dock
#

to help the problem

pallid quiver
#

Def stance will not help it anymore

proud dock
#

oh right i frogot about that

#

lmao

pallid quiver
#

The 3% crit is not gonna make up people not oressing buttons

#

It barely helped when it reduced damage by like 10%

#

Since you need to have like double the other tank's damage to pull off or something

rough hazel
#

Best tier set bonusses ever 🙄

proud dock
#

yeah ther was a bear tank doing 100k dps, and then repalce him with a pally who did better but ocsaioanly was pulling off him too

lusty grotto
#

if youre pulling agro, thats a problem with the other tank

#

and/or gear disparity

#

its very common, since not everyone plays correctly

graceful kite
lusty grotto
#

the only thing you can do on that scenario is to stop pressing buttons

mighty valley
#

if the higher damage tank is pulling first and the other is taunting off, the damage disparity has to be insane for the first tank to pull back

#

but

#

maybe it is

jagged gust
#

Some tanks do damage from the previous expansion

#

pug life

graceful kite
#

Only case is if a tank has their gear broken

#

I saw a prepatch mistweaver doing shadowlands damage

#

That was crazy

#

4.6k in m+

#

That wouldn’t even have put him in top 100 in castle nathria

marsh stone
#

Maybe suggest they add "taunt" into their early rotation

vocal cave
#

whats the point of diminishing return for stats now?

lusty grotto
#

wdym

#

the point is to not stack a single stat

#

as it always has been

#

or to deter that

small bone
#

I have seen a few prot warriors running Colossus over Thane. Any reason?

#

The warriors running Colossus are also running with Spear

crimson furnace
#

im getting tired of the lock animation from demolish

#

even tho i love colossus

#

its making me loose it

quasi pivot
#

Big thunderclap and applied rend is the prot warrior stereotype for me. I loved it in wrath

#

I wish they would remove rend and put in a more thunderclap thematic dot though

#

Like a lightning damage dot

marsh stone
small bone
#

I tend to play more with Thane cause I like the thunder stomping.

lusty grotto
#

colossus is slightly better ST

#

but maybe you should ask them personally

quasi pivot
#

Or redo thunderclap as a stomp shockwave and make the bleed make sense

lusty grotto
#

wowhead guide has a hero comparison

small bone
#

So Colossus is mainly for them to do bigger ST dps?

tribal wharf
#

so i have to do delves ya

lusty grotto
#

feel free to look at it

hardy snow

#

i think i read it was pretty bad for pretty much all warrior specs

#

but nobody seemed to want it, got it now

lean sorrel
#

Been looking for an answer related to the value of Into the Fray and what the breakpoint for running it may be. Sims for dps are one thing, but i assume the haste i gain has a defensive benefit as well yes?

quaint sinew
#

hey im new to prot warrior, was just wondering if we stack haste till forever or we stop at some point du.e because of diminishing returns

lusty grotto
#

You stack ilvl

#

As a priority

lusty grotto
#

But for raids you should be using it regardless

quaint sinew
#

there is not much more for me to get for now im 604 and wanted to optimize a bit

lusty grotto
#

For dungeons you run heavy rep

#

Then yes stack haste

#

Hard to think you won't get more ilvl

#

At 604

quaint sinew
#

im not spending stones rn

#

or anything

lusty grotto
#

You will get more ilvl next week anyway

#

So 🤷

pallid quiver
#

ur more ilvl next week anyway

#

How’d everyone enjoy the raid so far?

lusty grotto
#

It's a good raid

lean sorrel
#

@lusty grotto Ive heard the value 20k floating around for ITF value for M+, wasnt sure if that was the number to shoot for.

lusty grotto
#

No it's more than that

lean sorrel
#

Was trying to math out if it was even possible

bleak breach
#

We got 8/8n and 4/8h lastnight hopefully finish it off today on night 2

lusty grotto
#

It's not possible

#

Again worry about it in s2

lean sorrel

soft plume
#

wait, does shield slam do more dps than execute?

bleak breach
#

Kinda

#

Provides a lot more

soft plume
#

so am i lowering my dps by using execute every time i got 40 rage? lmao

bleak breach
#

Most of the top parses in raid atm are playing execute build, but you sacrifice so much defensively

soft plume
#

but their shield slam is beating their execute still

bleak breach
#

No you’re not, but you should always hit SS if it’s up, then use execute to proc SS

soft plume
#

but my execute is doing more than my shield slam?

marsh stone
#

You keeping SB up?

bleak breach
#

Execute to proc SS sorry

delicate remnant
#

Anyone got a best usage for bloody coins on gear? I don't pvp but the 594 stuff is hard to pass up

bleak breach
#

Execute will do more damage or atleast on par damage, but SS is always a priority as you need rage to use execute

soft plume
#

okay so im thinking imma drop indomitable for bolster

bleak breach
#

Why?

#

What talents are you running?

soft plume
#

more shield block uptime

#

colussus build ig

lusty grotto
#

think about that

#

and execute is only available on procs with SD, and/or in a portion of the fight

#

so of course SS is gonna beat it

bleak breach
#

If you’re worried about shield block uptime just run heavy repercussion assuming you’re talking about raid

soft plume
#

yeah im screwing up my shield uptime pretty sure also i think my kills might be slow, comparing my execute and ss casts with other people

bleak breach
#

M+ you should be running heavy repercussions anyway

#

Most people with massive execute damage are running the execute build or having really long fights.

lusty grotto
#

yeah or rasha'nan

bleak breach
#

That’s the dog

#

I’m gonna try execute build on him next week

lusty grotto
#

huge execute fight

bleak breach
#

@soft plume If you’re going to try execute builds play mountain thane, you won’t get the rage generation in colossus to do it

#

You’ll sacrifice too much mitigation

soft plume
#

mitigation not an issue on heroic difficulty its all g

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

it will for queen

tribal wharf
#

GB boss 2 area trash

marsh stone
#

next week even that'll be a joke

what do yall like for solo delves? fury vs prot?

frank obsidian
#

well fuck me if i try zekvir lair in prot again lol

soft plume
tribal wharf
#

okay, i ran grim batol now

soft plume
#

is it possible to even have over 90% shield block uptime if you're not running any shield block talents? 2 charges and shield charge dont seem to cut it but i could be doing something wrong

tribal wharf
#

boss was done wrong though

soft plume
#

i think imma run enduring defenses instead of massacre since execute procs all the time anyway

opal forum
#

last stand is kind of a healing potion now isnt it

soft plume
#

okay the top parse for 2nd boss only has like 60% uptime on shield block so i think thats literally just how it is with that massacre build

Hey guys, just arrived on Ansurek HC, pulled it twice and my raid disbanded (we pulled for hours to kill court). Any major tip for the fight? From the pulls i did it seems to hurt A LOT.

Goodluck on a few if all you want to do is damage parse.

shield slam and ignore pain a lot lul

jade panther

x)

soft plume
#

i didnt run spell block idk if it works for the dot

jade panther
#

think it works for the cast ?

soft plume
#

i never NEEDED shield wall and usually just held it for oh shit moments

#

if ur puniish stacks and shield block are up u can last demo shout and spell reflect and be fine

#

demo shout is up every liquefy

#

spell reflect is more magic resist

boreal hamlet
#

just slam your face on the keyboard and dont die

#

has worked for me

jade panther
#

aight, only pulled twice, will see how it goes tommorow, i'm only got 27% base haste so far, will try to mash keyboard hard 😉

bleak breach

Anything where you’re struggling for survivability play mountain thane over colossus

Also are you running defensive stance?

in heroic brood, the pools from one section creeps into other section eventually, right?

Ok well, sorry for the delay, we actually ended up getting a p3 pull, and i cannot tell if i blocked or not here

lusty grotto
#

youre looking at this completely wrong in a raid setting

#

check logs and check effective uptime

#

thats the only thing that matters in raid

#

once you get gear worry about overall uptime

sorry i have like 3 seconds to look at logs between pulls and didnt see the b, yeah gorge is blockable

what are 619 crests

How would that even sim

I just did some target dummy and it was like 1% of damge

The effect is going to be super dependent on how many mobs you're hitting

1 target patchwerk 3 mins (or 5 mins) for ST/Raid
5 target patchwerk 1 min (or 1.5 mins) for AOE/M+
