Rituel knife is what i see people take

f that ritual knife

#

Sword is BiS and thinking with Catalyst open and M+ taking champion tier is a mistake

toxic pewter
#

I took that weapon myself, I had similar vault sword or knife trinket

proper roost
#

a hero track sword is very not bis

toxic pewter
#

i do not want to lose stats personally and already have 2 hero trinkets so i took the weapon

waxen cradle
#

obviously M Raid Sword is better but M Raid and M+ just opened today

tribal wharf
waxen cradle
#

so hard and obviously impossible to have M gear in a vault when it just opened

toxic pewter
#

the trinket numbers wise apparently is strong I just dont enjoy the idea of losing stats personally especially haste i dont want to be feeling slower than i already am

waxen cradle
#

me either

toxic pewter
#

but mathematically it may be correct choice

proper roost
#

it's not about being compared to mythic gear

#

you do not get it

#

but i ain't gonna be the one to coach correct vault choices/logic for the 50th time today

Thoughts on Silken Chain Weaver trinket? got one in vault 616

toxic pewter
#

I actually use that

#

its a solid defensive trinket

#

1 min cd

#

actually can feel when i press it on a raid boss for example

#

30% dr

#

and it slows their attack speed

#

but alas theres no dam component

#

may be the best defensive trinket this season if i say so myself

#

even in m+ it webs all mobs in front of u

waxen cradle
#

its all good I can sim anyway I forget asking some people for advice or a opinion is a mistake

YASVQ (Yet Another Stupid Vault Question) Generic Heroic Raider/+10 KSM. 2 616 items in the vault, Wrists that are a 36 ilvl upgrade, or Shoulders that are a 13 ilvl upgrade but COULD be catalysted into tier. Difficulty: I'm 0/5 tier now so even that won't help now but could later. Extra context: Both sparks are ready to be used today on crafting.

proper roost
#

so just sim yourself directly, bloodmallet can be inaccurate by a decent amt sometimes anyway since its using a completely diff gear setup to what you're actually wearing

tyvm, just did raidbots, yeah that trinket is beans lol

So we're taking socket?

autumn roost
# edgy bone So we're taking socket?

Vault selection order for 9/17 vault:

  1. BIS hero track trinket that lots of other people will want.
  2. If you have not received a tier
    piece from raid, take the tier piece.
  3. Any other highly competitive item that will be your bis for awhile or a socket

You do not need to take a second tier piece from your vault. You will have 2 catalysts, 1 drop, and 1 AOTC token on reset next Tuesday. You will be able to farm keys for 613 pieces of loot to catalyze before next Tuesday.

#

Advice specifically for mythic CE raiders

#

Ymmv

strong forum
#

Also sockets are heavily devalued since you only need 3 total

edgy bone
autumn roost
#

Sockets are still worth about 5.5ilvls

strong forum
#

And generally low budgeted compared to previous expansions

maybe its bcause i ran the dungeon 68% d stance?

Yeah I don't have a list of every popular trinket but that doesn't mean that there aren't popular trinkets

That ring only gets replaced by the same ring on higher ilvl

hey uhh

#

this is gonna sound mildly silly, but just outta curiosity

#

wouldn't thunderous roar be good for m+ for initial threat with the reduced cooldown?

#

obviously spear does more damage and stuff

#

*to have another button to press every pull

soft tusk
#

Which wrist enchant? Avoidance or Leech?

cinder nova
#

Probably isn't gonna matter, whatever speaks to your heart more.

#

But Leech is more active than avoidance.

#

That is to say, it is actively useful in all content almost all the time. Avoidance is only AOE dam.

#

I think the minimal DR you get from Avoidance is probably going to be more impactful on a non-tank since you don't have like 4 or 5 passive auras causing diminishing returns on the smaller sum of mitigation you get.

Are we still using Meathook even with the nerf of it being reduced damage for tank spec?

I was thinking about getting one cause i right i just got a regular one

I would recommend it

One nice thing about it and one recommendation as well is to split high volume buttons between keyboard and mouse

Basically by having SS/Tclap/Revenge on keyboard

and ignore pain on mouse

my keybindings are like this but IDK if they'd work for other people lol

# ember sierra Hey! Could I see some of you guys keybinds? mines a big mess and i want to start...

Tbh keybinds u need to make efficient and neutral so they can eventually work across other specs or classes rather than copying someone else's setup. Put builders on binds that make sense for you and are comfortable for you whilst spenders are for other fingers, then spread out a bit further for each key press that is cooldown based or alter to shift mods as well. Like I'm left handed for example so my important base rotational things like SS and TC are on "U" and "I" with different fingers for each. Shield wall is literally just Shift + U as its a big cooldown I want easy access to. Things like that make sense for me as someone who's had to basically adjust to the other side of the keyboard lol

#

These things also hard shift for each tank spec, so if I play any other tank my builder is always on "U" and I'm never deferring from that. My standard maintenance defensive on every tank is "[" as well because it just translates well

Is there a m+ build that can do a lot more prio/boss damage than the ones listed in #protection-faq ?

not really at all

#

both the hero talent builds are like giga aoe centric

#

i mean if anything i'd assume mountain thane is more prio damage than colossus since you get to shield slam way more

even if it's slightly lower overall dps, idk for sure tho, that's a nome question

thane is ST pump inside spear and roar is decent aoe pad

outsode where? the flame waves come out at every angle it seems

no they come out the side of the box

not the corners

that gives u 4 places where to stand

or stand right on the edge of the room

and just move out the way of the ball

hey, im p new overall to wow and trying to figure out which items I shoudl get crafted from bs, google gives conflicting reports, is there anywhere here where thats listed?

jagged pier
#

yes wowhead or icyveins guidees

hollow osprey
#

yeah thats where teh conflicting info is at

#

both say the wrists

#

one says shield one says legs

#

unless I read it wrong

pallid quiver
#

Icy Veins recommends putting embels on waist, back, or shoes in addition to wrists, as those are lower budget items

#

since if you're at max ilvl of everything, your crafted items will be at a lower ilvl

jagged pier
#

your miss reading

#

nither say legs

#

wowhead says weakest armour pieces

#

which is the same list as icy veins

pallid quiver
#

The reason Wowhead also recommends a shield is because it's one of the fastest ways to get an almost highest ilvl shield very early on, as well

#

Since crafted gear is still only 3 ilvls below max if you chuck the highest tier enchanted crest at it

#

or maybe 6

#

something not like drastically far behind

#

ye I can make t5 stuff for myself just not wanting to mess up on what to craft xd

I know shield is very important, but, vault gave me the Rasha'nan cloak.
Although I'm currently already wearing a hero track crit/haste cloak, so, I'm doubting if it's worth getting it over the 616 hero track crit/haste shield (currently using a 606 veteran track shield)
I won't be raiding mythic, but my first spark craft would most likely be a shield...
Would you go for the cloak, or the shield?
