RIO has weekly routes 🙂
and then get Mythic Dungeon Tools
ili give it a look
then you can highlight the mobs through there (if i remember correctly)
AFAIK not strictly BIS after the nerf, but still very good.
do i use meat hook or candle is my 2nd question then 😄
Would say hook.
Tyvm 🙂 still a bit confused about the trinkets from delves and how good they are
On the other hand, I'd recommend simming it. It's the best way to know still.
Press w
U sim
Buy overhead projector foils and draw routes yourself
I don't thnk you can highlight mobs in any way through mdt anymore? would be great to be wrong tho 😄
Sure, but I am usually Def > Dmg, so simming would give me a clue to damage-wise.
Sneaky, probably not i guess then xD
Trinket recommendations are usually based damagewise though, as tankiness is hard to quantify.
Ofc 🙂 which is why im confused. Candlewick seems like a good Tanky + DPS trinket, but meathook is straight up dmg.
bind MDT to a button to open/close
Usually we don't need extra tankiness since we're already very sturdy by default.
For a lack of (atleast where Ive looked) intormation about crafting spark gear, Im hoping anyone here can help! What determines a crafts ilvl? And is recrafting used to Get higher ilvl on items later in the game? I have two sparks, should I use them to craft the bis wrist and belt now? If so what do I need to consider?
For the ilvl, it's the used enchanted crest.
Recrafting allows you to exchange the used crest, potentially increasing the ilvl of the item.
And generally it is recommended to craft wrist and belt, as crafted gear caps out a few ilvl below maximum, but you CAN use your sparks to craft weapons, if you are desperate enough.
Ok, awesome! What determines the difference betaen 606-619 ilvl with runed crest used?
quallity
The crafter skill
trying to learn how to use MDT (first time tanking), what good pull im missing?
If the crafter is shit or not
Ye quality-crafter skill/spec etc
Crafter's skill and the quality of materials used in the craft.
But u have all the stats and stuff you need to survive with your max damage 'simmed' gear. Living comes from play
you wont be able not to trigger this anubarak
Unless theres some magic skip
uh, but that was the whole point of going left
ishment
you probably want to clear more mobs around first boss, so no body pull happens during fight
yea, wanted to say that check out 1st boss mobs then 😄
you can bind MDT to a hotkey (like ctrl + M for easiness of use)
Just take a pack/little shits with third spider before first boss
thats a good idea, thanks
its under keybinding -> addons
wait you can actually show a "route" in-game?
or can just make macro "/mdt"
Just eyeball it honestly
yeah i though it was a planning thing
you can open MDT in game and even share it to people
You can even livestream the route ingame
lol I wonder if im missing any other important addon
Bejeweled
For route/%, mdt and a thing to tell you how much you are in combat with
I saw no mention of the Binding of Bindings Embellishment in the guide - ist it not worth it for us? Reads very well.
do you run WarpDeplete?
fucking hell, thats why i only had all curios at rank 1
never seen it, gonna search it up
Don't worry they still don't drop
I read the description of left, kinda true
ye thats why im surprised, so left is the way for pugs?
it'll show you how much percent the mobs you're in combat with will give so it's stonks 😄
When not interrupting bolts spells will be an issue go left yes
im dumb or something, why is not marking the adds on the south bend? you can skip those?
its actually showing better on the website tbh, but why? i think my MDT is updated
Just by guessing with the map yes you have enough space to just walk right but I think it’s a patrol
ye, it randomly breaks when you import it, you have to fix it manually
ah i see
it is some type of incompatibility between keystone guru and mdt that they refuse to fix for some reason
Oh you talked about import bug
got a little question about MTD the grouping is for a single pull or is that an area?
gonna guess an area
well the group is called a pull because i guess they are meant to be all pulled, right?
Fixed the Keyguru route a bit to fit into MDT because the import bugged a bit
Boys i have a question: What do we recommed here, the shield or the tier?
maybe shield? i read that our tier effect is a bit weak
Is there something going on with keys? I'm searching for 7-9 and I can legit only find Mists, NEcrotic and Siege, no other keys at all? Even uninstalled my filter addon cuz I thought it was bugged
but also, there are more shields to loot so i would pick tier and save havint to catalyst it
But isn't that shield super good and rare?
oh is a rare drop?
If its higher that your other shield its great, if its the same or lower its grabo
yo, do I craft 619 shield or wait till I get to +9 and craft 636?
is a good ilvl shield in the vault insta pick ? i'm still simming and the shield does not sim higher ? asking for tank reflexes, like in dps if it's the trinket that is highest ilvl or weapon i insta pick it
Naah something is wrong with keys, nothing to do with addon or filter, i reroled my key 6 times only geting those 3 dungs..
Anyone know what the Illidan trinket is like?
poop
is there any good prot tank to follow in wowarmory?¿ to see what they craft, enchants etc
Nomeratur and sense
I'm confused, why is alchemical chaos suggested flask when you could get a flask with one specific stat and not reducing other stats? You basically get the same amount of stat per flask when you consider the 2 stats you lose stat points for with chaos.
But u shouldnt really follow ppl crafts are beased on your lvl of play and content u plan to do
Looking for some feedback on what crafted pieces I should craft.. was thinking belt myself... Can make 2 619 items.
https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-gb/character/eu/tarren-mill/adachi
I'd suggest you craft a shield and upgrade in to myth
stonevault trash hits pretty hard
It's not an offensive trinket, but it still does something it's pretty decent defensively
Cuz it Sims better and grants slightly more stats overall than normal flask
Using the Alchemical Chaos also gives you more of a benefit when you use the Tempered Potions
Yeah, but for static use i'd think a crit or haste flask might be better for the constant better stat
also if we just use what sims highest why is colossus M+ not suggested? every way i've simmed colossus, 5 target 2 min, 10 target 2 min, and dslice has colossus simming between 3-5% ahead of thane.
Do we Thunder Blast(with two charges) over Shield Slam(with no Burst of Power)? The rotation guide doesn't seem to imply it, but reading further down in the "rotation explanations" it does --- on single target
Yeah that's how I've done as well, just reading the rotation guide(on wowhead) doesn't seem to imply that at all, it only talks about Thunder Blast having priority on two or more targets, and then no other mention about it
Whats the addon showing rank ilvls ??
but if I have both Burst of Power and 2x TB charges I send a SS first, right?
tier, but wait til after raid if you do raid... the shield is not great, better to craft one or get the one off the last boss
yes, in my experience there is a bug. if you specify a certain range it'll only show exactly those 3 for some reason
warp delplete is a little broken btw, it doesn't count 15 seconds instead of 5 per death on 7+. Also since mDT is not updated it doesn't show the proper %
WarpDeplete website states they'll fix it 23/9, so next reset I assume (maybe because he's in talks with MDT dev to fix their count)
god damn, i tried to do LFR wing 1 last night
and i was the most useless brain dead raider of all time
i couldnt even get literal the simplest task right, did fuck all for dps, dont think i died or wiped the raid though
a monkey on a computer would do a better job at fury than i did last night
How important is it to complete the 2/4pc vs ilvl?
if you mean "do i use the catalyst" no, not until high track gear
myth and whatevers right below that
hero
but, yes, you want to complete your 4pc, but rushing for LFR raid pieces for 4set bonus, probably not worth to sacrifice ilvl to obtain that
yeah i was more curious about lfr
what they really mean is, your set is the highest priority after weapon and shield. things like vault, so if a vault piece of already made tier appears
if it was worth doing to complete the 4pc
set is only high prio if the ilvl on the items is also decent, set bonus isn't all that great to sacrifice like 30ilvl/pc for imo
tier with or at same ilvl, in a slot dont have it in, (is a set slot with haste is bis, but cant count on [getting] it)
wasnt there a simple WA that tracked % needed for NW before going up? And isnt there another dungeon this season that has a similar "next level" that you need certain % before going to?
also.. does anyone have a simple MDT route they could share for siege? i dont remember anything bout that place and am kinda lost
There used to be one yeah, showed what % you needed before going to the zone you don't wanna get back from if you'd miss count
Will still exist, not sure if it's updated since a lot of counts got updated
You can make a simple text WA which loads in the dungeon and put it somewhere as a reminder. The math for the count should be solvable by anyone 😉
When/If MDT is correct, for sure yeah
In nw ive been pulling entire mid area from stairs after 1st boss. Also about half the room in first area minus the gatekeepers
why does it feel like delve rewards are dipropionately compared to other content given the difficulty?
cause blizz wants us to play with Bran
at least until you clear +7's across the board and get the same vault rewards
Is it 7 for heroic vault or is that just where hero gear starts dropping
that's when vault is the same as a T8 delve vault
brothers, need some suggestions . i am gonna do only m+ no raids what you think i should craft ? i see people on M+ ladder crafting Sword
shield
shouldnt we craft our two embellishments with our 1st two sparks?
or can we put one on a shield
shield is worth more than an embellishment, but, you can indeed put one on there 😉
Hero gear cant drop in delve right? Or did they change that for this week?
It can, from a map chest
normal bountiful chest is 603 champion
map chest is 610 hero
Oh yea okay, i only got 1 map in 20 bountiful delves lol :p
long term you want a to get a shield from your vault on myth track
it's the most impactful piece, and ilvl is the only way to scale it
ah, so i guess crafting a shield with embellishment using the free runed crest wouldnt be a bad idea?
until you get somethign from vault
up to you
I crafted a shield, and unless I get myth track on my first vault will send a gilded crest at it, so not wasting my runed on it
you just have to understand that in an ideal world, that means you're wasting a spark
It's a good idea if you don't mind dropping the gold on it.
I'll probably do it, as I'm last in line for any loot in raids till all raiders have their (I only join as a social mascot hahaha)
what crest did you use to craft if you didnt use a runed crest? i might be missing something, did crafted items change since DF?
no crest until I have a gilded
I'm gonna use the "free" runed crest from Queen kill 🤷♂️
so.. just a naked spark for a 593 item? why not use a the free runed crest?
i must be missing osmething, sorry
because free runed crest happened this week, I crafted at 606
but I can also get a gilded this week
If you do 9+ keys though, isn't it?
yeah
Is there a Pull Assist WA that will highlight what to pull in M+?
(my group won't do them yet I'm afraid, we'll see)
I remember using something like it in the past
anyway, you can craft shield w/ free crest if you want, but you can also infinitely farm a hero track shield from M+ if you're doing 7's
i mean what else would i use the crest for
just dont use it and save spark for gilded?
uh, you should have a second spark
i do
so like, you can use a gilded on one item and runed on another
I'll probably send gilded on shield (if I don't pull myth track in first vault) and runed on wrists w/ embel
imo, worth it for the early power spike since 636 shield can only be beat by getting a myth track shield in vault.
but again, it's not an efficient use of sparks long term
Right now I think its fine to use a spark on a shield... nobody is pushing atm, first half of the season is straight up gearing, so you're not putting yourself behind by getting an early defensive boost
Agreed, but spark items are more powerful relative to farmable gear this tier
I'm basically daring my vault to give me a shield. Playing chicken with it.
nah, it's not specific items as outliers
hero track gear caps at 626
spark crafts with a gilded crest cap at 636
so any slots you aren't able to fill with myth track from vault / mythic raid you can upgrade via spark
okay i totally get what your saying
just misunderstanding lol
makes sense, shield big impact so use gilded on it
and again, long term, if you pull a mythic shield from vault you are down 1 spark item
which are relatively more impactful this season
Is there a list anywhere of abilities we can counter in the current raids with spell reflect or any rule of thumb for its usage?
whats your preffered WA pack for warrior ?
Im open to suggestions, I think I am using hekili atm though Im generally new to it.
Isn't hekili the thing that basically tells you your rotation?
Yea, I got it for Arms as friends said its what they all use. Im not sure if I like ityet.
i was thinking more, afenar / luxthos
You can press it any time you see magic damage coming at all, since it's also a magic dr
Okay, thats kind of what I've been doing now.
Hekili depends on a spec to spec basis in how good it is. Generally, it's not as useful for tank soecs
Right, thats what I was noticing which means I will disable it once I have the rotation down better for other specs and not use it for Prot really.
I will check those out, thanks!
Does the Timewalking quest reward Hero gear ?
the quest to kill illidan in BT will reward hero track BT gear
the 5 bosses/dungeons is champ track I think (597)
Where do we get that Illidan quest ?
Thanks
603 Sacbrood, 613 dancing steel og 613 tier helm from vault?
Hi came here to ask if i can wear double crit embelishment, a friend told me is buggy and it just give me the buff of one, is that true?
tb
is it still 12crests timed key/5 untimed?
levelling a tank 70-80 feels like playing wow premium
so whats your trinkets to go for m+ now?
I have ara kara and got scarab trinket from cachce, but not sure if its good to have ddouble haste trinkets
whatever sims highest
actionbars in the middle and wa to track shield block and ignore pain
weakaura packs suck elvui sucks future is now
god its really annoying to remember which one city of threads is vs ara kara
i remember the first boss of both but nothing after
city of threads is a dumb rp spy dungeon
CoT on a +9 was brutal
Sorry to bother, but when ya say this do ya mean for raid in particular? Or are people just doomer-posting about it being too squishy for dungeons?
Haven't played prot war (or war) since like Legion, so sorry if it's a dumb question.
its better but it forces you to waste rage and globals on ravenge and it cuts your rage gen and cdr
So in terms of playing content where you actually get hit and need to press stuff its worse
but purely damage wise its better
Ahh, alrighty. Tyty
colossus is identical to legion prot
I did love legion prot...
I liked legion prot with tier that made bers rage give you rage
Colossus = Legion prot
very glass cannonish
its also not "doomer posting" when we say
its weaker defensively
than thane
its just a fact
less AM resets means less walls
ya like I said I remember the first part just not after
I like grim batol but my groups are dying
Sorta unfortunate, thane's a lot more apm, right?
groups as in both groups I did it with
slightly more apm yes, but not a huge difference
what i've heard people say is CoT/NW are the hardest keys to heal so far atm
2nd boss of CoT is real fucky
on damage
i don't quite understand it
i have no idea if my group was just doing something wrong (prob) or what because duskbringer just deleted everyone into an ice sickle
was gnarly af
also, very specifically only 3rd boss of NW - no other bosses in that dungeon do anything
it's weird
always was like that
i don't think 3rd boss did anything in SL
rogues had 100% crit on javelins and hammers
in a 20 rogue pressed 2 buttons and deleted 60% boss hp
and you had more spears and hammers to finish
but they made javelin to to beans damage now and just give a debuff
if you're talking about abom aoe it existed too it was just lower tuned
How come shield without embellishment? Sorry fairly new to crafting/embellishment system
no shit
yapper..
you've been demoted to yapper status smh
Literally for all content, we sre undergeared for dungeons and stuff atm a little bit but if they are complaining about dungeons in general its is a case of get better 99% of the time
Well the armour embleishment u can put on a shield is good but u can put that on armour pieces anyway so u dont need to put it on shield. The shield emblishment is just bad.
And it depends on what lvl u play at to even craft a shield in the first place so we recommend not wasting your emblishment slot on something your going/might replace
With a myth track
Where u wont replace like back and bracers with an embelishment
I'm playing more casual this time around, normal raid, maybe a little heroic, not pushing keys @jagged pier, given that what would you recommend? If it helps I'm playing Colossus which just give you an indication of how chill I'm approaching this season
Sooo, ehm is this shield any good? loosing a ton of stam
Based on my initial reaction that shield is not good lol
It's not, but if it is the highest ilvl one that you have available, it is ... until you drop a new one in roughly the same ilvl range.
What are people catalysting as their first piece?
cool, cool thanks - I already have a shield on the same track 😄 It might have some niche uses tho 🙂
Most likely any set piece with favourable stats on hero track or higher.
Can get a free one from that kill the queen quest.
yeah i got that one, jc about keys
for some reason nothing comes up google
that one's not a gilded crest, it's only runed
havent had a chance to run a key yet
Of u arent gunna get a myth track shield u can craft it with which ever thread emblishment u want on it. If casual to u is lioe farming 9s where u get myth trqck in vault dont and jusy go with low buget armour items
yup
If its higher than your shield its really good cause more block if its the sane or less ilvl its garbage
what's the take on this?
I'll do 8s in delves but that's it no mythics so highest gear I'll get is hero
Same as the delve shield.
And you get the most basic bitch shield mog of all
damn
The effect isn't great, and you lose a lot of stats.
why you have to come for them like that
It's my job.
good thing i got queen's shield from time walking chest 🙂
Dragon scale is still the best shield MOG in the game.
you can slap dusk/dawn on shield
but the pre-embellished shield is shit
Elementium HD is second (one from Abberus).
meanwhile the one that dropped for me a ret pala got it
what you mean is that the bulwark transmoggers have skibidi rizz, ohio rizz even if you will
Thank you! And thanks for your effort on your guide! Helped me a ton. I'll probably end of crafting the shield with crit emb given i'm playing Colossus and value crit a bit
thats our tier chest piece.. prob will want to get it at some point yea
upgrade track worth ?
Ohhh I gotcha
Interesting loot priorities you have. I managed to convince my group to give me the 1st boss' shield on hero track without even rolling.
was in a pug.. apparently 2h weapon dps players dont want anything off of queen? no one wants her trinket apparently?
I know what all that means
Worth pulling the trigger with that upgrade track or should I wait ?
When in doubt, sim it, but crit / haste isn't bad.
Unless you're literally gonna be farming like 6 mythic bosses nonstop for the next few weeks i'd definitely full upgrade (good) hero track tier slots
okay sweet, is heroic tier hero track as well?
Are you planning to drop the hero chest soon, how are your chances of getting the token?
You can also sit on catalyst charges until you get a mythic track item to catalyse.
Heroic raid drops hero track, yes.
We've only cleared up to 4/8 Heroic
actually acquiring myth track items
requires you to do a +10 also
or kill at least 2 mythic bosses for vault, soo yeah
Is it true that spell reflect lets you run through the tentacles on the last boss of grim batol?
just keep that in mind!
Appreciate that advice, thank you.
Also, if it nets you 2set, it might not be a bad idea to catalyse it.
Whats everyone crafting with their omen? Im on the fence to do a shield or the jc neck. My neck right now is literally 554 lol shield tho is only 580
i wouldn't catalyze anything rn unless you for sure know you aren't getting myth track items for the next few weeks
They want the ring
yes
ah thanks
ring drops for dps and tank spec tho.. so my point is we got dps people looting as tank spec for queen for the 1h weapon/shield.. cuz no one wants her trinket apparently (which only drops for dps)
Bracer / Belt with embellishments for me.
Ngl I'm kinda concerned for your tongue
sims, but think it's fine
Bad
Are we capped on upgrade crests for Hero track gear?
L
🤨
idk i wanna lvl my hero gear but im all out
capped up
Yes there's an element of using your brain for strategic upgrade purposes
instead of just randomly sending them on anything
Idk i do the no brain strat
100%
4pc secured atleast
There will be more crests next week
not that it changes much
Bro I read 410 there for a second and was about to flip shit
Totes adorbs
I used my cata
wanted to pump my I level
cause getting to 10s is a bit of a challange
coward...
yeah idk i imagine +10 is a sudden jump in difficulty from a 9
it adds fort and tyran
yes
im sitting at 610 I level right now
Its hella rough getting into anything above like, a 7
i'm just going to stumble across the finish line with an untimed 10 at some point this week
imo
honestly, once Im like 615 I think 10s just fall over
yes
we did a untimed 10 NW last night
i'm 608 and can make a ton of mistakes no problem will be easy when i craft 636 weapon imo
yo how does trading items work if you only have a lower track item
e.g. if you have champion 610 shield, can you trade someone a 610 hero shield
ah nice gamer disc
it was actually a pretty solid comp
and the 3rd boss gets obliterated
even on the 10
he had no chance of going back up
didnt even see the second hook animation start
yeah I figured with good dps if you just triple spear him, you still one phase a +10
the problem is all the rat dps in queue atm
😡
imagine getting the boss hooked down instead of the hook just disappearing into the void or grabbing a ball
I refuse to que this early
also, I dont have to
tanks are a hot commodity
in general this week
in a mythic guild
really just this week
in like 2-3 weeks Ill pug a weekly 10 on alts or something
Add me I do like 4 million easy (on huge trash packs)
but first week keys are always the toughest
but also the most fun
we got a 10 stonevault that Im itching to slam

yea
just a lot of rats out there with 610 ilvl and they eat shit
my city of threads last night was
Im 610 I level
mage doing 350k st
no enchants either
Fire?
no they were arcane they just sucked ass

3rd boss took like 4 minutes and I was like ??? is this normal on only a +6? then checked dps meters and died inside
I died in a +5 Stonevault because I accidentally the stun because I stinky poo poo
To expensive bro just carry my ass to 2.5 pls
I've tried being really selective with my invites in pugs but there seems to be a magical barrier between +5 and +6 that just rots brain cells
And you're a criminal
And then later that run, Area 52 got shot, so it looked like I was a hella rage quit rat
Ive never seen anything below a 7
first key of the season 8 Stonevault
cause fuck it
I let the dad gamers push the keys up for me

"LFM only pumpers 605ilvl + main 3.2k"
589 mage leader
+2 grim batol
I am, I do loads of crime
I'm even doing crime right now
Maybe I should just yolo throw my ass into a few +9 but I was trying to get the key up for my group and I never got it over a 7 and when I thought we'd just run that with my guildies they also got brain rot and forgot that kicks exist
honestly, I wouldnt invite a mage to a low key
"Sorry bro I was bladestorming"
Slayer fury
way too much variance on skill level with players of that class
I honestly don't care if keys get timed or even complete, since I'm just there to press buttons, but it gets me when people unsist they're doing things that I actively can see they're not doing in logs
ya with mages you either get imfiredup imposters or imfiredup imposters
if you get what I mean

if you have a mage friend who you know can play the class
It's one thing to say you're interrupting but you're just overlapping or something, but another to just straight lie and not even press the button at all
I have a mage friend who is okay at the class, but can press his utility buttons whenever I tell him to
I'm not sure where on the spectrum that lies
I've had way less issues with mages than with DKs
Y'know, I kinda don't after all these years.
But it is funny
Never trust a mage portal
I haven't seen a single dk except one blood DK who struggled on a +4
I've had a blood dk who didn't use heartstrike
No, you have leap. Never look. Assert dominance by not dying. Just expect to be in the crater.
I'll take the crater tbh, but not Stonard
That's like getting sent to Tampa, Florida or something smh
I prefer portal roulette though
I see portal, I click
There should be a second crater portal to the crashed dalaran tbh
If people take too long to go through to the hub they get a 50:50 chance you end up in the exodar
Didn't have time to be mad. Had to tank the pack as fury.
I gotta see if my War can rat himself into like a 9 or 10 NW this week
NW is such a good prot war dungeon
Hi everyone. Are there one here that can help me whit rotation on prot war. Do you only youse rage on def or do you youse it on spender?
Too bad everyone else hates it
Rage spending is vital to the class working at all
Revenge always
the worst thing is that nimchip and i need to spam farm CoT today
i will learn this key
it's gonna suck
the goal of prot is to spend as much rage as possible; you want to prio generators like SS and Thunderclap while making sure you dont overcap on rage by using IP (off the GCD)
The third boss change is very unfun and cringe
Overall, you keep enough rage to always have a global to send, using Revenge if nothing else is available, and if you risk overcapping, you spend on IP
Court of Stars isn't in the season dummy
forcing triple spear and lust for one boss is cringe
So pretty much, IP if around 60-70 rage, otherwise hold to send on revenge if SS/TC are on cooldown
3rd boss is fun actually (for me, not for the other 4 people in the group)
Oh but now they made it so if the adds are alive for an extended portion of time u basically wipe
right now, the goal is to one phase
Thx mate
Guys should I prio Tier or Weapon from vault? I got a 616 tier chest and also 616 dancing steel
What did they change? I don't remember what it was like in SL because I skipped almost all of SL
if you cant... tchnically you can kill every abom
so there are never more then two out
its worse, u need to kill them quickly very fun
why are you following nish on twitter
we killed 3rd boss in NW 10 in 30 seconds
just do more damage

also just triple spear the boss goober
ya i play with a surv + ret
It is my fault because I don't know where 3 spears are
hi any1 has mdt route
you can also TP out of dungeon
I just hold W and people pick up what they grab
and change talents to ST
at that point
take the time loss and just be giga strong for last two bosses
honestly might be worth ye
easier for me since I have the NW portal from SL
tp out is less of a time loss i imagine LOL
like u pmuch only get 1 try right so kinda unfun
will help the ret too
since they still have to decide between ST or aoe
but full on ret ST
would be a huge boon
Wdym new? It always pulsed more damage per add no?
not even remotely relevant amounts of dmg
if we have to do that then i guess we dont pick up spears until we re-enter right
spare hook doing dogshit damage for anybody else?
Adds just have way more hp vs our damage now so you can’t really kill them off
you have to
Sure the damage is higher now but it was always there
third boss in necrotic does hit pretty hard, dropped to low hp multiple times there
Died on a +10 with 3 adds up the other day with boss on 10%. Rogue did most of his damage to the adds not the boss…
you need to kill off the add after 2nd hook
aka hard focus add
no more rushing boss and ignoring add dmg
The first add dies kinda on it’s own as it gets the spear debuff
After that if you try and kill adds you are trolling
The adds hp is simply to high for our current dps to focus them imo
just keeping adds up that have 15 stacks requires 1.5mil+ hps per add
depends on key level and your comp, didn't need to focus adds on +9, but i was kinda close to death couple times
GL
I dont agree you cant kill the boss in one phase on a 10
How much dps were ur group doing that fight
but I guess it depends on who you are grouped with
3rd boss is essentially if you don’t kill boss inside 2nd hook time you die on a high key
just like in SL
pretty low i guess, but that druid actualyl was very good
just kill in 1 hook
Like I tried it on 7 and my group didn't have enough for the check + pugged devoker was like 430k dps
take your group on a field trip to the training dummies
Iirc third boss was a wall at the start of SL but was easy late and last boss was the wall.
it was never easy
last boss is fucking marathon of a fight
Don’t recall if they made any changes
it was only "easy" cuz of the flesh crafter axes
and last boss was only doable because of axe throws
this is not true, the spear applies the debuff to everything in its path, so if you triple spear the boss it can also triple spear the abom
it's very easy to cleave down the first abom simultaneously and reset the damage for a ~30s breathing room for your healer if you can't one phase it
You send all 3 spears on pull with CDs and lust though
Debuff stacks
?? Yes you can just kill the abom when the boss drops
What are you talking about are you cooked as hell or what
The debuff stacks on the abom too since you're triple spearing the boss
Did it on a 10 and the abom wasn’t dying before 2nd hook 🤷♂️
maybe they should walk out, talent swap, come back
lol
You want him to die right after
or you just kill it and take 20 extra seconds to kill the boss, and not have the abom kill you, if you ahve to do it in 2 downs
not really that complicated!
No idea what you are talking about
You want to kill the first add before he hooks down the boss the 2nd time?
yes because he will spawn a second add (well, infinite even, really)
and killing the add resets the stacking dmg
and the abom damage is the actual threatening part
If you don’t let the first add hook down the boss right when he jumps up you have to wait a whole other time to get him down
On what key?
oh i didn't know the key level changed how the mechanics of the bossfight worked
Low keys you can just kill the adds as they have lower hp
Simple
it's almost like
if you triple spear the add
you can kill it anyway
because of the damage debuff!
You do you. If you want to do the boss sub optimal that fine.
If you don’t know you don’t know. That’s fine.
ironic (alanis morisette)
the boss gets significantly easier when you just kill the add
youre no longer on a timer
yes the strat USED to be that you min-max 3 hooks per abom
but thats simply not the case anymore unless you are overgeared
The first add always dies. Try killing 2nd and third add and have fun with that.
I much prefer the one where she's naked in a Laundromat
Anybody found that 3rd boss in city is kinda hard ( one with healing absorb soaking orbs) or i just had a bad group?
Felt like last was smoother
City of threads or city of echoes?
Nvm soak mechanic
Everyone needs to soak orbs not just you
how often should we be tank swapping for nexus princess?
And soak them early for the heal to have time to get the absorb off before the big mechanic
or how many stacks rather
is there any boss in the raid i should swap out of prot loot spec for?
You let the void shredder full channel on current tank, then swap.
that's all, really.
thats quite often yeah?
drag boss to corner on pull and try to use each quadrant a bit before moving over, soak puddle areas are a soft enrage
not like, all the way into a corner
is everyone waiting to use sparks for crafts to fill in spots at some point?
just enough that people aren't goofy with the puddles
I guess I'm confused about the question. You just swap after the channel. The DOT lasts longer than the next shredder timer, so you can't 1 tank.
I am new to tanking, whats the most important piece of gear to craft ,would it be shield or weapon?
^ same
Looking at it the adds have 110m hp on a +10 and third add come 37s after 2nd add so you would need abt 3m ST damage to kill the adds off before next one spawns if you want to focus adds. Does not seem viable.
I personally would say shield myself
Thank you!
i feel ike i wasted a shard since i got 3 champion shields to drop in delves
you can use an enchanted crest to upgrade your crafted higher than a champ shield will go
is that the best use of runes?
up to you man, if you've already committed to crafting the shield you can get it up to 636 with an enchanted gilded
fair
many people that do not foresee themselves killing mythic raid boss or doing higher than +9/+10 m+ may want to craft a shield and work toward getting gilded crests to upgrade it which are kinda difficult to obtain now that I think about it lmao
yeah, +9 for gilded
sorry, i was seeing 4 debuffs so early in the fight
i was like, did she do it 4 times already?
sorry bout that
1 channel = 4 hits
yeah lol
if we plan on pushing high keys (and not raiding at all) do you think double dawnthread lining and spark crafting bracer/belt is best?
I personally went bracers belt myself with dawnthread ya
think you can go either dusk or dawn
ok so I had option between 616 weap / pants and i think i failed hard. I didn't realize until after i took the weapon- it didnt have haste on it x.x. Pants were haste vers (non tier)
weapon is more impactful than pants
thats what i thought, then I realized after taking it, no haste, but maybe not big enough dif?
not having haste is not a deal breaker. in either case, it's not like you were pulling a BIS item overall
you could still upgrade either slot with myth track vault later on
What is a good amount of haste before crit/vers would be more valuable?
true, was just thinking pants could also be a catalyst option too, but I suppose once I get up to higher keys i'll have those to catalyze and more accurately fill the gap
All of it
Really one'd still continue stacking haste over 40%?
Doubt you can reach the level needed in S1
for high keys
That's the literal only consideration when it comes to stats
i been playing with ~16k haste and its alright in weekly keys
affix does help
cuz grants loads of haste
but in high keys i wouldnt wanna be caught with my pants down
ykno keys where you actually lose hp
when +12 nome
I'm using ITF at 15.2k haste, when you say 35%, do you mean the stat shown under enhancements or do you mean when I hover over haste and it says thats only +23.05%
before ITF
so the 23.05% is what I would like to see at 35%
your haste brings a tear to my eye
I don't ever feel like shield block uptime is a problem --- why is the recommendation +35% haste for ITF?
haste related cd reductions
cuz rn you have affix buffing your haste loads aswell as packs dying rather quickly
in push keys you WILL have downtime
cuz no haste from affix and shit will live longer
and you dont wanna be caught in a pull without SB in high keys
Can't find it anywhere and am not at a computer or in game but what Dungeons in the M+ pool can drop Shield?
I get ya, ok
NW, Mists, Stonevault, City of Threads and Grim Batol
Thank you Sir
city of threads specifically also drops a 1h
but the easiest out of those 4 (by far not even close) is mists probably
I already grabbed the 1h from queen, that thing is beautiful
awful stats, but great mog
fun
Last boss is probably overtuned
question about the free enchanted runed crest we get from killing last boss in raid, what piece is recommended to craft for prot warr 619?
It has some ability lineups that will murder the group
wouldn't say overtuned at all dps just need to learn to use defensives for the tremor/splice overlap
that's the learning curve period
arakara bosses are all, you have to look at the screen
prolly like wrist with embellish or smth
and if you look at what the hell is going on, its easy
always was the case that overlaps like that required DPS to use defensives properly, on undergeared early season +20s
can i dm you
F you on your shield 
if you can craft a 636, then either weapon or shield
wep and shield are one of the highest ilvl pieces i have rn
i see
you can craft 1 636 weapon or shield and then i guess just fill out your weakest non-tierslot item
what abt the free 619 crest i got
same deal
from the quest after killing last boss
you can only craft 2 items
bigger shield = bigger block, happier everyone
si
i see
well yeah if you pushing really hard. I am quite casual so I use that free 619
today
its just expensive thats it right
technically yesterday already
if you farm +9 above hard enough you can craft the 636 this week
crafting
yep got it
yes
now i understand
180 is the current cap for runed/gilded crests
Is bulwark from timewalkin ok or is a shield with secondary stats better even if 10 itlvl lower?
so if you get KSM from running 7's, what is 3k hero these days? 12's or 15?
i quit through df s4 so this is legitimate questions
well
the io system is still different from DF s4 since they still had split fort/tyr
yes, but for a long time ksm = 2k hero = 3k
Don’t u get a crest from the story raid?
Or is that the lower one
that is for the 619 not the 636
Ah alright
i dont even know what you mean fos
feat of strength
feat of strength
the achiev
ah
in DF it gave you the special mog version of your tier or w/e
What is bis embellishments for defensives?
and 2.5k should just be like, 9s even this season
And on what slot
once im done with blasphemous 2, i mean castlevania, the same game really.
ill come back to wow
then you're gonna play space marine 2 with me
a bit
👍
havent decided if i will do 100% playthrough of this game or not yet
once Space Marine 2 is on sale
100% buying it
if I get it now.... I wont have time between WoW, Work and Weddings
why that shit have to come out now man

real fucked up
IDK though, early season for me might just be doing eight +10s and logging off
i dunno how else the fuck to say it man
the way the keys are setup now it's kinda irrelevant to push early...
i just want to fight some skeleton bastard
language
with swords and magic
but also, literally space marine
whats ilevel required for protection warrior on heroic brood.. i'm ilvel 604 but still getting squishy with the colosal spiders
i like warcraft better with the skeletons, and the masucilinity, setting the skeletons on fire
im very simple to please
I wanna get caught up on the 40k lore
theres just so much
i already did bolt gun, thats enough for me
you can literally never get caught up on 40k lore
yooo I recommended this game to you. I take credit
this is intended
use cds 👍
i had already seen civvies day 1 video about the game
and a strreamer struggle on it
no i recommended it to you
ok ty
i literally don't believe you watch streamers yogi, you're way too old for that
nevermind I forgot you watch asmongold
i cycled cds on shield wall, spell block.. its useless when i tank boss and add at the same time when i have only a few seconds left for the debuff to expire
but ya, you did probably reccomend it to me, took 3 times hearing about it
Warcraft lore in a nutshell: My plans have failed. (Tzeench somewhere in the background: Yeeeees, my plan failing was part of my plan all along)
and ppl expecting me to grab adds when i have the debuff
then when i die.. ppl blaming me the problem
i'm happy for you yogi
dark magician lookin ass
yeah you show those babies who's boss
they were shooting lightnin shit at me tho!!!
im 90% sure you're swinging a giant ball n chain at 2 seraphim holding up a floating head
(the deleted account is you obviously)
Honestly it’s a cool game
Gotta figure out why there is exactly 1 trash pack in siege that does a lot of tank damage
i recommended it to you first. i win
AND you said you didn't even think you'd like it. idiot. fool.
Btw kanga i dont accept your demotion
ok, go play blasphemous 2
no you dont' even know what games I like yogi
But I might have bamboozled myself
nice inv
There's multiple but it's entirely dependent on the enforcers or w/e
Think they put a debuff on you
im on the final boss area
I think so too
Just got it, me gonna solo campaign
The packs with only 1 enforcer are not an issue mostly but there's several packs with like 3
2 or 3 or something idk exactly
Its a pack on right side atthe bottom of stairs to spotter and 3 boss area
With sauroks or whatever theyre called
Literally might as well be yapping I have no idea what you're talking about
Just read the name enforcer and count them and press cds
🤔
So to eat the xalatath orbs we could like Shockwave em all? U have to cc em to eat them rifht
shockwave or fear
Any CC as well as kicks yes. And it applies to the entire group
wait the affix drops orbs?
You don't have to be the one to do it
usually takes 2 ccs they dont spawn at the same time
if you have a shaman it's usually best to have the shaman take care of all of them, because thunderstorm is a way larger radius
Yeah, monk rings fuck on the orbs
From what I’ve seen thunderstorm > ring > shockwave
Can sometimes get them all with 1 shockwave but they have a delayed spawn so may need to wait.
Also depends on the spread.
ya thunderstorm is the best for it by far, it's larger than all of the other ccs
You also don't need to stagger the ccs
the casts are slow enough that the first ones don't finish by the time the last 2 spawn
Thunderstorm is bis
Can confirm
But every group im in ppl have cleared them before i can just go in
And wasted their cc
ye it's extremely annoying that people send their ccs on like half the pack
haste crit for sure
not vers for m+?
did he stutter?
And they can also spawn on roofs
Like in boralus
Which is bullshit
Man speaking of boralus, holy shit that final boss has the jankiest platforms, heroic leap aiming at the sky, charge shooting me under the platform in to the water
it's bad
third boss is also wildly poorly designed
super binary oneshot + does literally nothing outside of that
I really dont know what to do when the timing for the frontal and waves coincides
accidentally deleted my entire team yesterday not paying attention to timers
its literally the only timer you need to pay attention to
and the dps need to mildly pay attention to not put ice in the center
that's the entire fight
It's bad
Third boss got me killed because the tank didn't stay anywhere near the pillar and I was in bladestorm as arms
And blizz can't white list heroic leap in bs for some reason
you are going to get literally 0 sympathy from me for that one because being in bladestorm ain't an excuse to not use your eyeballs or move
I was moving
theres like a 6 second telegraph for the waves
The distance was literally too far
I moved immediately
I was just barely a pixel off of it
Knowing the pathing for that dungeon, you wouldn't be able to leap regardless because there was a daisy in your way
Okay bro
just play correctly everyone else is carrying u
Kangor spicy today
I mean I'm just salty about sob cuz the skip was patched
In the dumbest way possible
what skip
all DPS players deserve to suffer
I literally slow walked to the fountain yesterday in two different siege runs
Average first week of S1 tank mentality tbh
while casting
oh so you could just juump down to horde start
i'm not tanking
Hey all! Im playing prot in M+ and Fury in raid. Is anyone else in the same boat? For crafting, was thinking of making a 636 shield and then next week making a 636 2H. And then I’ll use my 610 pvp crafts for embellishments. Not sure how much I’m gimping myself trying to use sparks for both specs. Anyone find a better solution or have some advice? In terms of mythic, I’m competing against 2 others for both the 2H and shield off first boss, and we most likely won’t get to first boss until week 4. Thank you!
then suffer
Yeah
Now it zones u out
Lmao
i'm not i'm having way more fun than everyone else
focus on your fury set
especially stinky bad dps who can't dodge the 1 mechanic on that fight
and use the left overs for Prot
I thought the joke was gonna be you're on vacation 
Awesome. Can you say more on your thinking?
Tank specs in general can make due with less gear then dps specs as its more about gameplay>gear
gimping your raid spec to beef up your prot spec just aint worth
cause you can make due with very little
unless you trying to push rank 1 prot war keys
but for 10s; a heroic shield is plenty
👏👍 thank you my man that makes sense
no but my fun is being severely hampered by my tank being in raid jail for 9 days a week
the absolute evil thoughts that went through my head when he said he raids friday saturday but for his alt stg!!
Is this any good or is it propper dogwater?
Poooper
as i thought
Should I take normal version of the rare cloak or socket 🤔 I'm only raiding normal/hc and focus on m+
prob socket
normal pieces will be replaced very fast
and this first vault is actually the worst vault youll see all expansion
so socket is very high value in comparison
the normal mode version of that cloak is lame, the heroic mode version is not bad/pretty good (depends on if you ever see mythic)
Okaay thanks for info
yeah that cloak is much more useful for DPS IMO
this vault's value was basically very rare heroic raid items / hero track tier > contested trinkets maybe
sikran neck though, that's solid for everyone
obviously it's also big haste, which we like a lot
Socket is the way for a long term decision. But honestly, if u can complete the 4p with your vault this week espc with heroic I’ll pieces. It is very worth than
for sure
everyone has to look at their situation
like I cataed a heroic piece this week
to get my 4 set
I prob couldve waited till next week and maybe gotten two Myth pieces to cata
but I valued power now
can't imagine unless you're in world 5-50 or something that you would want to save for myth catalyzing
otherwise you can wait to cap tier power a month in and still be mid prog
we are looking at killing 2-3 mythic bosses this week
so good chance I couldve gotten a myth tier piece
It's great if you only have an adventure track weapon
