Or being like Enha's original version, since ours were announced at the same time as that cracked out tier set

strong forum
#

Colossus is a nice break from thane

#

And thane is a nice change of pace from colossus

#

And both do good numbers

#

So that's nice

#

Just doing a +7 and spamming the fuck out of revenge giving the dps a run for their money is good fun

pallid quiver
#

Having both hero talents be actually usable is more than other specs can say

strong forum
#

Compared to the sweaty gameplay that is thane

round pendant
#

Thane is sweaty?

#

In what way?

strong forum
#

^

#

It's literally 20% faster than colossus

pallid quiver
#

That was one of the most feel good exhibitions to ever watch

round pendant
#

Colossus is that big dam tho?

#

I might try it

jagged pier
#

about the same in curent gear tbh

strong forum
#

I did my first 1mil overall as colossus in ara kara

#

Thane I only did like 980k in mists 10 I think

#

Or 920k, can't remember

round pendant
#

only

strong forum
#

I could do way more if my weapon wasn't a fucking 606

pallid quiver
#

imagine getting your key to a +10 instead of being locked at +8s since your friends keep dying like 10 times in the +8

round pendant
#

You guys are doing +8s?

#

I've had a god awful time pugging

#

Haven't even managed a 6 yet

pallid quiver
#

felt real bad

strong forum
#

I got a nice siege 12 in my bags

#

From +2ing SV10

pallid quiver
#

Going into Stonevault makes me sad, because the DPS have no self-preservation

#

Like it's very easy to pull big if they, like, at least press a defensive to not get bolted to death

jagged granite
#

Guys I have a question regarding gearing for high m+, Is it still haste verse or has crit for parry made a comeback?

pallid quiver
#

Haste Crit has been prio for years

strong forum
#

Beyond haste it doesn't rly matter, but we have alot of crit interactions for dmg output and parry is pretty fucking huge in keys

jagged pier
#

i got flamed in a SV 6 yesterday, because i said i would do crystals then the tank and melee decided to kill all the crystals at once, gladge

jagged granite
#

What? All rank 100 and above I've seen on rio has gone haste verse or am I mandala effecting us

strong forum
#

It's the bandwagon effect

#

Just because alot of people use it doesn't mean it's the play

pallid quiver
jagged granite
#

No I hear you

#

What about raids then, more magical non parry stuff

#

Wouöd be versa slightly ontop?

strong forum
#

In raids stats matter even less

jagged granite
#

Alright lol

strong forum
#

Cuz you got 4/5 healers and beyond predictable mechanics with no rng

#

You just make a plan and are done

pallid quiver
#

There's a general sentiment that vers is a more defensive stat among high key pushers, because it's one of the better stats for DPS and Healers to avoid one-shots, but it's not really as much of a factor for tanks

round pendant
#

I quit a SV because this hunter died on every boss and we wiped a couple times on skarmorak and he didn't press any CDs

#

after I told him to use them

#

Maybe I'm spoiled cause the only dps I've played (this season) is DK but idk how people die to literally every mechanic every time

pallid quiver
#

In the end, it doesn't really matter, since the single largest portion of your mitigation kit comes from your buttons

strong forum
#

It's pretty simple when it comes to pugging keys rn

ionic fern
#

Dk and ret pally kinda tanky tho.

pallid quiver
strong forum
#

Below +9s you're not gonna see the really good players anymore because, well we're doing +9/10s

pallid quiver
#

They only have, like, 2 real defensives, right? Right?

jagged granite
pallid quiver
#

Depends per ability

#

Like, DF RLP, you were able to parry 2nd boss bleed (until fixed iirc) to get less stacks

jagged granite
#

Oh really, thats cool.

strong forum
#

There's barely any bleeds in keys

#

Or debuffs for tanks

#

Like tanks are really easy to tank rn ino

#

Keys*

#

Are really easy to tank

jagged granite
#

Siege trash from start to 2nd slaps on 10s

strong forum
#

There's basically no scary mobs at all

pallid quiver
#

I'm pretty sure there's more bleeds and the like on raid trash atm than all of M+

jagged granite
#

I even went BSV to survive that shit

toxic pewter
#

ya these dungeons are not that difficult mechanics wise

jagged granite
#

Did pull like 4 of em tho tbf

strong forum
pallid quiver
#

The only thing that's remotely scary to me is the last packs of SV, because it is fucking impossible to have people let me group both packs together before last boss

#

Everything else is 100% manageable if you don't make mistakes.

round pendant
#

The siege trash bleeds can hurt

jagged granite
#

Maybe my groups didn't stun em or smtng, because my gear Is sufficient and I doubt I am doing to much wrong, except prioritising verse..

round pendant
#

what's it called

jagged granite
#

Singing steel or dancing steel or smtng

solid sun
#

Siege cutthroat curse can get real scary

pallid quiver
#

I am also scared of the first mobs leading into the maze in mists, because I got hit by their cleaves that they use on the NPCs in the little cinematic bit once and it fucking slew me

jagged granite
#

Shieeet!

pallid quiver
#

but that's not supposed to happen so i'm just scared of bugs

jagged granite
unreal abyss
#

what kind of shield block uptime should I aim for in dungeons? 100% isnt possible, right?

round pendant
#

100% in combat

solid sun
#

Spell reflecting tentacles on the last boss of GB is pretty sweet

pallid quiver
#

100% is actually possible while playing HR, but what's most important is 100% effective uptime

tropic tangle
#

feeling the same on early siege trash, but you should have plenty of tools between demo / sw to mitigate

pallid quiver
#

The only thing that'll make you not have 100% is not having something to hit

jagged granite
tropic tangle
#

to where it feels noticeable if I'm not proactive on those

pallid quiver
#

I literally haven't even entered Siege in M+ yet

#

haven't gotten a key for it until this most recent key I got

jagged granite
#

I think the reason I brought it up was more to discuss it and hear other peoples experiences

solid sun
#

Siege sucks

tropic tangle
#

it does

jagged granite
tender reef
#

I think dawnbreaker is my fav dungeon

tropic tangle
#

siege / CoT so far feel bad, haven't pulled a stonevault yet

solid sun
#

GB and the earthen lava dungeon are bangers

tropic tangle
#

grim batol feels ok until last boss

jagged granite
#

Cot is fine after tje nerf to splice tbh

pallid quiver
#

I wouldn't mind Dawnbreaker if people didn't do their absolute best to brick that key

tender reef
#

Necrotic is cancer in pugs

#

I wiped like 15;times

#

Just play the mechanix lol

jagged granite
#

I figured out on Queen heroic yday that you can reflect the beam on the platform transition, which does a fk ton of dmg!

solid sun
tender reef
#

How to do that rhino

tropic tangle
#

I...did not know that was a thing

jagged granite
#

The purple one thats stationary

solid sun
#

You just hit spell reflect and walk through them

solid sun
#

As long as your buff is active it clears them

tropic tangle
#

can clear multiple per SR cast?

#

damn, that's kinda nuts

pallid quiver
jagged granite
#

Wait more than one?!

solid sun
#

Yeah I usually get 3-5 depending on how they’re spread

jagged granite
#

Thats insane.

#

Yeha let me check the log

#

Honestly didnt check the log, it did show up on details tho.

#

But lemme check

molten gorge
#

has Spare Meat Hook dmg been adjusted on the Sim since the nerfs?

#

anyone know?

jagged pier
#

yes

molten gorge
#

thanks

jagged granite
toxic pewter
#

may be a deflect then not a reflect

pallid quiver
#

You have to look at damage taken on the mob

jagged granite
#

Yeah, but It showed up as damage on details thats why

pallid quiver
#

It's processed as damage done to itself

jagged granite
#

Ok thanks

pallid quiver
#

yup, it hit itself

#

@shut summit If you get a chance, it doesn't look like Expulsion Beam's on the reflect sheet. Above shows the Expeller hitting itself with it

jagged granite
#

It was super hard to look on the phone for me! Thanks Luerce.

pallid quiver
#

It's funny, since I just explained how to look at reflect damage to one of my friends after we finished on raid today, and he was wondering why the poison bolts from Court weren't showing

jagged granite
#

Yeah that makes sence!

#

Haha, I've been thinking about that to actually!

#

I do have something that I've noticed about spellreflect this expansion, not sure if its a thing or I've just not paid attention but it seems alot of spells (splice in cot for example) does way less dmg to the boss than to players?

round pendant
#

Can you only spell reflect 1 tentacle on Erudax?

#

I just kept getting sent to Grim Batol

#

Have yet to get a single piece of loot from GB, either

#

and people kept:

  • Pulling the entire instance
  • Get knocked off by the dragon
  • Getting murdered by trash
  • Getting murdered by bosses, especially last boss
#

I think I've timed one GB

trim condor
#

I have kinda okish experience in GB, main blockers Are people getting one shot on Dragon boss

solid sun
round pendant
#

That's weird

tropic tangle
#

my exp overall has been very frustrating, pulled an 8 dawn and later an 8 arakara, so 2 chest potential

#

and just keep getting pug clownery

tender reef
#

Pugs are horrid, it's really nice when you have a good run though

tropic tangle
#

flying back in an chain dying to trash when we've slow wiped on dawnbreaker

#

taking it upon themselves to do extra trash pull in arakara constantly

tender reef
#

When they tell you pull more, you say no and then they pull and wipe and leave grp. Worst

pallid quiver
#

It's the friends I run with smh

tender reef
#

Second worse is doing boss wrong blaming everybody else and leave

jagged granite
tropic tangle
#

then constantly fucking up last boss of arakara until timer is expired, then we do it flawlessly

#

so tilting

#

of course they were rewarded with a sacbrood for their trouble

tender reef
#

Only been once arakara the slime boss is way harder than the last

solid sun
#

My experience in pugs has been either someone leaves after sometimes even just a single death or a group wipe or just toxic chatters

round pendant
#

I think Erudax is such a bad boss design

pallid quiver
#

I'm still mad about one time of City of Echoes last boss, when I leaped into a puddle,

tender reef

Same for me at 🦏

I finally hit KSM last night but it was a turbulent journey to say the least

I only have like 1100 IO since I keep bouncing between Mists, GB, and Echoes iirc

trim condor
solid sun
#

Started my Sunday morning off being told to kms because I wanted to go down the lower part of the siege entry instead of running across the upper portion

#

So yeah I feel that @trim condor

pallid quiver
#

Biggest danger zone is probably 5-7 or so, since that's where a lot of players get hard stuck, and 7s in particular are scare since they still drop Heroic gear, so you have more people trying those, even if it's past them

I didnt have this experience in TWW, but I did in DF S3 when pushing

If you don’t want wowhead or icy veins I’d assume you could try echo? But there was drama they just lifted off wowhead

I got a question most of the time I don't have rage left over for revenge after ignore pain and shield block and then CD on thunderclap, what do I do wrong ?

And when I do I got too much to spend it all in my gcd windows

Kinda shucks

I use shieldcharge and the scream or avatar for rage supply

But doesn't work all the time

I try to have both up all the timr

Is that wrong ?

strong forum
#

What's better, unable to press a button because you pressed ignore pain instead of 2x revenge to get a shield slam reset

#

Or getting 1 singular 600k half absorb

#

You gotta keep the rotation flowing

When you can't press shield slam, that's when you die

Cuz your rotation stagnates, which means no rage generation

and it's fine

lusty grotto
#

yup

solid sun
#

I was on my 4th Grim Batol before I realized that the second boss walks super slow while carrying the mace 🙃

tender reef
toxic pewter
#

is that the one that chases u

soft aspen
#

dont even know if there are any los spots down the hallway though

tender reef
#

How u not die ?

soft aspen
#

could be kinda spooky

#

if dragon doesnt die

lusty grotto
#

TOP

#

of the of stairs

#

#

literally

soft aspen
#

ye

#

ik

tender reef
#

He means th second one

lusty grotto
#

but as a tank you dont

#

2nd one?

soft aspen
#

2nd one keks

lusty grotto
#

what 2nd one

tender reef
#

Next to first bridge

soft aspen
#

u can sk ip that one

lusty grotto
#

lol what

solid sun
# tender reef How u not die ?

Fire time I died and figured I just flubbed mechanically. Second time I lived. Third time I died but my internet hiccuped so I assumed I missed a spell or smth and then I was informed. Fourth time I kited

soft aspen
#

go behind the banner

tender reef
#

But you can also do it and skip later

#

Lel rhino did it take 4 different keys for that keks

molten gorge
#

I don't even think the dragon is worth skipping before last boss tbh

soft aspen
#

so would u guys say that baotl is the hardest dungeon for prot

#

due to the amount of magic damage

solid sun
lusty grotto
#

you only pull 2 dragons (well 3 but it dies with your own dragons) in GT

molten gorge
#

you don't even need to pull 2

lusty grotto
#

if youre pulling additionals idk what to tell you, that route is weird

molten gorge
#

there's some you can manually spawn

#

if you run over them

#

in the first bit with the flying dragons

lusty grotto
#

2

#

thats it

tender reef
#

Haha not this one

jagged pier
#

big pull that

molten gorge
tender reef
#

Theres 2 more

molten gorge
#

3 and 4 are here

soft aspen
#

with the dragon dont you kill the adds in front of the boss ?

molten gorge
#

the unmarked

soft aspen
#

and then the huge pack that overlaps

lusty grotto
#

i know they are

tender reef
#

There should be even another one I think

lusty grotto
#

but why pull them

#

at all

molten gorge
#

for the count

tender reef
#

Easy % skip the ogres

molten gorge
#

ig?

jagged pier
#

u dont need the count

molten gorge
#

you would

#

if you skip elsewhere

lusty grotto
#

not needed

molten gorge
#

it's not hard to understand lads

#

i'm not saying I do it

#

but I get what they're saying

jagged pier
#

sure but why like all the skippable packs are in the middle

tender reef
jagged pier
#

and they are all easy

molten gorge
tender reef
#

The ogres not

lusty grotto
#

the ogres are easy

molten gorge
#

i'd say you could in theory do one of those spawn ones

#

with one of the packs you've nuked

#

instead of doing the dragon at the end

tender reef
#

For you mqybe

molten gorge
#

and maybe that'd be more efficient

tender reef
#

Big guy

lusty grotto
#

we're prot warriors

#

not BDKs

#

we're fine

#

just stun it

tender reef
#

Tell that to the team lol

unreal gazelle
#

what addons do you think are req for M+

lusty grotto
#

why you have 3 stuns

unreal gazelle
#

are you running anything for counts

lusty grotto
#

the fuck does the team have to do with stunning

echo grail
#

Why is spear taken over roar? Kiting?

lusty grotto
#

unreal gazelle
lusty grotto

whats the addon that shows u the count updating as ur fighting the pack

molten gorge
echo grail
#

Ah

molten gorge
#

and imo don't pull the locks with the big frontal casters

soft aspen
#

ty

solid sun
#

I haven’t really been skipping anything

unreal gazelle
#

is anyone running colossus top 50 are all thane

molten gorge
#

man like Rhino with the 150% count deplete

#

love to see it

lapis burrow
#

does someone know what Meeres/Naowh is using to display the co-tank frame? Is it a weakaura?

lusty grotto
echo grail
#

There's a site that lists pick rate for all hero talents and some are under 10%

solid sun
#

Psh I wish I could deplete a key

molten gorge
#

hahaha

solid sun
#

Then I’d know how you mortals live

molten gorge
lapis burrow
lusty grotto
#

no, its premium, dont ask for freebees

lapis burrow
#

ah alright

unreal gazelle
lusty grotto
#

i do have it

#

i dont know

solid sun
#

What’s your favorite dungeon so far

echo grail
lusty grotto
#

just send it as colossus

molten gorge
#

Thane boring is crazy

#

Thunderblast go brrrr

unreal gazelle
#

dps is 1/3

lusty grotto
#

people are allowed to like other things

molten gorge
#

incorrect

unreal gazelle
#

thunderblast enthusiasts also like sparkle vampires

#

NE confirmed

lusty grotto
#

just send it Gloom, if you feel like you can survive with current gear, youll be fine

molten gorge
#

Collosus is a channel no? sounds garbage

jagged pier
#

its hasted

unreal gazelle
#

it is deff less surv but im not sure where its lacking. is it just in rage generation?

molten gorge
#

still cringe

lusty grotto
#

yeah rage gen which is less wall resets

#

as per cycling

unreal gazelle
#

i see

#

thats prob what im feeling

solid sun
#

Colossus is for people who needs jacked up trucks but don’t go off-roading

lusty grotto
#

im looking forward to using it in vault keys

lusty grotto
#

but dont plan to as of yet, need more gear still

neon elk
#

Also in most keys rn dmg isnt issue

lusty grotto
#

i still have like 6 champion items

neon elk
#

I mean, dmg done .

lusty grotto
#

:\

unreal gazelle
#

im sitting at 606 ilvl atm would you run pheremone secreter without raid trinks? its not showing on bloodmallet

#

Has anyone tried killing the portal dudes in wake after their nerf and boosted mob count

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

they arent too bad

jagged pier
#

there fine

lusty grotto
#

they just do a big group aoe

#

which got nerfed

solid sun
#

Prior to the nerf their aoe killed everyone who wasn’t me

lusty grotto
#

yes

solid sun
#

Just curious how much of an effect it had

jagged pier
#

i think that will still be the case on fort

solid sun
#

Gotcha

lusty grotto
#

comfy pulls now but i dont know if i wanna pull them outright anyway

#

only if we're somehow missing %

solid sun
#

How have y’all been handling the big beetle dorks in arakara

#

Have you found a route that avoids most?

#

The ones that have the aura that makes their friends take less damage

unreal gazelle
#

is there any addon for % or pathing that is helpful or you all feel is needed?

sweet summit
#

mdt is all you need really

jagged pier
#

w key is all u need

solid sun
#

I’ve def been giving my w key a workout

neon elk
#

If ur runing a W route just chceck before in mdt that its actualy enough . I did my forst nw this season and was kinda surprised that i missed like 12%

anyway you can sub in one pack with one gatecrasher

#

like pull 5 maybe

solid sun
#

lol that link

#

Never heard of that site before. That’s pretty cool

lusty grotto
#

its better than keystone

its 1:1 with MDT

gritty eagle
#

spell reflect works on tentacles in gb? whaat

green bronze

more than one; it doesn't consume

#

As long as you still have the buff up

gritty eagle

so for 5 sec you can clear?

#

game changer

green bronze
echo grail
#

Just more reason to bring a (fury) warrior

inland raft
#

2 furys and prot, clear the whole room, ez

tender reef
#

2 prots and 2 fury and 1 arms you mean

solid sun
#

I prefer two arms personally

#

One for my keyboard and one for my mouse

tender reef
#

If you need 2 arms you're so blessed you don't deserve 1 arm

#

Just saying

steady lantern
stuck basin
#

what do you think about the binding of bindings embellish ring?

tender reef
#

All trinkets bad find one you like

#

I have it it's the dmg one right

#

I want 2

#

Waist or shield depends on what drops first then the othet

tender reef
#

O yeah just clicked it, don't use that one xd

#

But if you like it, do it

steady lantern
#

ok thanks

solid sun
#

Do you think heroic broodtwister is easier for a pug raid or heroic assassin princess

toxic pewter
#

imo personally brood is easier

lusty grotto
#

yeah hard to say

#

for some groups nexus princess is easier

#

for other groups broodtwister is easier

#

both are different in terms of what is needed to be done so it really depends on who youre pugging with

toxic pewter
#

does Rasha'nan auto aggro/go into combat when she lands in dawnbreaker

lusty grotto
#

uhh

toxic pewter
#

group just tried telling me she does

lusty grotto
#

why do you ask? you need to kick her

#

so even if she doesnt you cant just sit around

toxic pewter
#

cuz I think a dude pulled the boss but they claimed the boss auto aggros

lusty grotto
#

cast goes off = she goes inmune = wipe

toxic pewter
#

yah I know I have to be at the boss or its a wipe

#

but like I swear someone else pulled her

#

.. I think

urban bane
#

she does not when she first lands in dawnbreaker

solid sun
#

When she lands on the ship or when she lands on the ground

toxic pewter
#

on the ship

lusty grotto
#

oh

toxic pewter
#

like the start of the fight

solid sun
#

She will just chill on the boat if you don’t pull her pretty sure

pallid quiver
#

rash does not aggro, ye

lusty grotto
#

yeah she doesnt auto agro on the ship

toxic pewter
#

yeah exactly ok

#

bastards lied to me

Has anyone played around with the Silken Chain Weaver trinket? It seems like a nice little defensive bonus, kind of like a second mini ignore pain. I'm curious if the attack speed reduction works on raid/M+ bosses though https://www.wowhead.com/item=215172/silken-chain-weaver?bonus=657:11143:5865:10334

echo grail
#

Why don't we have those arathi bombs in raid?

toxic pewter
lusty grotto
#

its a decent trinket

#

but since you can only get so lucky to get a hero version, it will eventually fall behind

#

thats one of the best you can get through delves as a defensive option

#

if not the best

tribal wharf
#

i dont think i ever got that one

#

or it was green when i had 593 600

hollow hill
#

Yea, for sure. I got a champion version just now, obviously simmed way lower for dps but could be useful for a tough fight I thought if you're getting wrecked

earnest nymph
toxic pewter
#

yeah I got lucky from a map and got hero track version of it

hollow hill
#

I got a hero track shadow binding ritual knife from a map, it seems decent?

toxic pewter
#

that trinket sims well afaik I just do not like how it lowers stats personally will never use it that's just me though

lusty grotto
#

thats

#

what i just said

#

not "seems", is

hollow hill
#

I've been using the ritual knive for a while and it feels like the stat reduction doesn't happen that often, maybe once every 90s on average?

jagged pier
#

.5 rppm

warm plinth
#

Jakey procs 10ppm in my ❤️

jagged pier
hollow hill
#

So once per 2 minutes?

warm plinth
#

Approximately, yes

lusty grotto
#

bad ppm

hollow hill
#

Neat, so even better than I thought. Thanks for the info

lusty grotto
#

no

#

thats a bad ppm

#

but 🤷

jagged pier
#

u want it to be bad

#

the proc takes your stats

hollow hill
#

Eh, the debuff only lasts for 10s

warm plinth
#

Yeah it should be bad for that trinket

hollow hill
#

just have it proc when you aren't tanking, duh

lusty grotto
#

ah that makes sense

warm plinth
#

Ezpz

jagged pier
#

that literally makes 0 difference

#

the class will feel slow to play for 10 secs

#

thats it u wont notice anything else

lusty grotto
#

unless if youre in siege 🙂

warm plinth
#

My brain thought like in between m+ packs

lusty grotto
#

then your gcd will last for 2 days

jagged pier
#

someone said the otherday loosing the vers could cause u to instantly drop. u loose around 2% DR on the proc

#

it doees nothing

warm plinth
#

Do the guys who do the bleed show up in the same pulls as the cursed blade guys in siege

lusty grotto
#

no

#

haste debuffers also shouldnt

warm plinth
#

Ok I didn't think so but I have barely done alliance side

lusty grotto
#

all 3 are different packs

jagged pier
#

just pull them all at the same time

toxic pewter
#

what mob does bleed

lusty grotto
#

gutters = haste debuff

warm plinth
#

Riptide shredder

toxic pewter
#

ok thx

lusty grotto
#

shredders = bleed (non-dwarfable)

warm plinth
#

Is it hard hutting or

solid sun
#

That dumb curse in siege can surprise you

warm plinth
#

Hitting

#

The bleed

lusty grotto
#

oh wait

#

there is one pack with both shredders and shadowblades

#

g21

warm plinth
#

Hokay

lusty grotto
#

curseblades, sorry

warm plinth
#

But you can still sr the slash right

lusty grotto
#

or spell block

warm plinth
#

Hokay

lusty grotto
#

the only ones i detest are the gutters

#

shredders are close but holy fuck i hate haste debuffs

tribal wharf
#

beam damage dawn breaker starts as soon as she starts the cast?

instantly blasted for 5.5 million on 3

not enjoying this

Shoulda spell reflected

i literally wasnt even in it

it decided i was dead before i had a chance to do anything and wasnt even in the beam at all

i wasnt even in it

i dont even know wtf to say

pallid quiver
#

GB is too hard and overtuned, that's why a 605 bear can't live throngus on a... check notes +3

tribal wharf
#

thats bullshit

#

now im mad

upper crow
pallid quiver
#

Yeah, it's the tank buster of the fight, so you want a defensive running every beam

merry sluice
#

It’s a fucking giga tank buster

#

Agonizing

tribal wharf
#

i love video games except for the part whre you die in 2 to 3 hits

#

seems to be a recurring theme in every game

lusty grotto
#

have you tried using spell block

#

listen

tribal wharf
#

i guess thats what i must have been doing before that but i figured it said defensive due to the beams itself

lusty grotto
#

every. single. tank. buster. this. season. is. spell. blockable.

#

no spell block? wall

#

just use spell block

tribal wharf
#

like i say, im going to fail all these mechanics the hard way probably

thats not GB

can someone share a MDT route for Boralus? damn i hate this dungeon but i have to do it sooner than later

tribal wharf
#

there ARE infact too many keybinds for majority of specs

tribal wharf
#

fury maybe no

rough crater
#

at the end of cast

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

she does

#

that bug has been around since BFA

#

sidestep early

#

not late

#

or do like me and just run behind her

#

do it EARLY

#

not late

rough crater
#

0.5 sec into the cast i move, guess i premove a bit instead

tribal wharf
lusty grotto
#

dont premove

#

also

tribal wharf
#

sorry, seems like something changed

lusty grotto
#

make sure youre not stepping out of melee range

#

cause it'll whirlwind around

rough crater
#

i also tried that the next run. Stood increadebly close and she still trickshot 180 ppl behind

tribal wharf
#

but now that i know

snow furnace
#

hey all, I read wowhead / icy veins / maxroll guides for our bis / talents and it seems that maxroll has slightly different suggestions. For example in maxroll it has haste vers in our crafted gear but wowhead an icy veins suggests haste / crit. Which do you believe it's better?

tribal wharf
#

about that stupid bullshit

#

1 shots me without a defensive

tribal wharf
#

maybe ill stand a chance next time

edgy bone
#

@lusty grotto are you encountering the situation where she uses gutshot even when you're only out of melee range for a split second

lusty grotto
#

no

edgy bone
#

Even when jumping down?

lusty grotto
#

just preposition

#

you shouldnt be using the cannon as a tank

#

you need to be square mid

rough crater
edgy bone
#

Interesting

lusty grotto
#

that range cast cannot go off

tribal wharf
#

ya, siege is a nighmare key with pugs

lusty tiger
#

What’s with yogis name

lusty grotto
#

idk man

lusty tiger
#

Yogi u do front end development?

tribal wharf
#

because for a while ppl come in with wax asking about it

#

and the shield react shield

#

kills the conversation because its not really relevant to anything else, bit of redudant question to answer saves ppl time

lusty tiger
#

What is yogi wax… do I want to know?

tribal wharf
#

character limit

lusty grotto
#

jeree are you back yet

#

or still speed dating

edgy bone
#

Does that Sense guy stream?

lusty grotto
#

of course he does

edgy bone
#

YouTube videos as well?

lusty grotto
#

yes

edgy bone
#

I watch Yoda sometimes but

#

Hard to learn from him because he's always running with God tier dps

#

Can't tell if the route is good or if I'd need equivalent dps to do what he's doing

tribal wharf
#

i dunno, i don't imagine i will be playing wow as much as i did in the past

#

thats all, been there done that

lusty grotto
#

yogi

#

swap back to your old nickname

that works

Hey guys, been away from the game for a while, came back and i am now 605 IL, what m+ would i be good to run to get some gear?

lusty grotto
#

any

serene wave
#

like 5-7s? or too low IL?

lusty grotto
#

you should be fine for any that you get invited to

serene wave
#

right

smoky anvil
#

Just press your buttons. You’ll be fine.

lusty grotto
#

the only limit is groups not inviting you in the queue

#

youll find out soon enough if your ilvl is too low for their perception

#

we cant really tell you what it is, cause it differs

smoky anvil
#

I’m 607 and got denied from a +3 last night. People are weird.

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

io also factors in

#

week 1 io LOL

#

🙂

gritty eagle
#

it is what it is, ppl will always take highest io/ilvl even if way above whats required

lusty grotto
#

but honestly if you dont get invited to those, consider it a bullet dodged

#

whoever is declining week 1 based on IO is an idiot

unreal gazelle
#

606 clearing 5s and 6s but you got to play all CDs and DPS has to interupt. If everyone is peak they are smooth if anyone is dropping the ball they feel like you belong in M0s

smoky anvil
#

I did consider it a bullet dodged. They stayed in queue with “+3 THREADS TANK” and were there till I found a group. Realized the real bullet dodge was that the lead was Ragnaros.

umbral kernel
#

I swear some ppl create a group just to be carried

lusty grotto
#

start with this please

#

rag players can be good

#

and can be bad

#

just like any other server

unreal gazelle
#

was it 2k IO to get the free tier?

gritty eagle
umbral kernel
#

yea it is

gritty eagle
#

its not that weird to me

tribal wharf
#

okay i have more stupid questions about that mechanic i died to

gritty eagle
#

a for a 3 i agree, in that case you should take pretty much whatever

lusty grotto
tribal wharf
#

because now that i've died to it in key and understand it bit more, it does additional damage ??

#

so it deals dmg to everyone around me? so i cant be near other players?

smoky anvil
#

It’s a tank chunk and an aoe

umbral kernel
smoky anvil
#

It’s not avoidable aoe dmg iirc.

umbral kernel
#

healer 590 in grim batol +6 maybe not tho

tribal wharf
#

right and the aoe is on me and it will kill any dps beside me essentially

smoky anvil
gritty eagle
#

@umbral kernel fair enough, i did my first keys at +4 and it was generally fine to start at that level

tribal wharf
#

for the pre beam cast

#

i died to pre beam didnt dr it

smoky anvil
#

I don’t think it’s targeted off you? I think it’s just aoe aoe.

upper crow
lusty grotto
#

its not an aoe yogi

#

just press spell block and move to dodge lines

#

he thinks its a pbaoe

tribal wharf
#

right, well it says it deal 5 millon and tha another 450k, so the 450k is just a healing thing

lusty grotto
#

you can be beside other poeple, its not a cleave

#

yogi

tribal wharf
#

theres alot of naunces like this, that get me killed

lusty grotto
#

read this

tribal wharf
#

and frustrated and not want to play

lusty grotto
#

"PRESS SPELL BLOCK, AND MOVE TO DODGE LINES"

#

thats it

#

end of story

#

no more analyzing

tribal wharf
#

i hear you, just there is like a millon naunces like this in keys

lusty grotto
#

theres not

tribal wharf
#

is frustrating

lusty grotto
#

press spell block, and move to dodge lines

#

thats it

#

2 things

tribal wharf
#

okay you've said it

#

im just stating that i dont have the energy for it any more, may stop again

lusty grotto
#

ok

tribal wharf
#

im burned out, cooked, sorry man

lusty grotto
#

you dont have to apologize to me

#

you do you

gritty eagle
#

keep in mind, its the first week of m+, take it easy 😄

lusty grotto
#

oh boy

#

apparently new person

#

youre fine yogi, just do whats best for you

tribal wharf
#

legitamitely

#

you might think im stupid and i dont get it

#

and i do some dumb thing over and over and ya, and its not like i dont know im doing it

#

and then ill go get some sleep and try it again next day with information or trying to recall what went wrong the last time, and then ill do it right next time

#

example

#

wailed on him for 6.5 hours, went to sleep, come back beat him in 1.5 hours

#

legitimately one of hardest bosses faced in very long time.

split stratus
#

Is there any website/article that gathers all the starts/tips for M+ tanking ? Like what we used to have: tanknotes/mythictrap ? (I find that wowhead is basically a copy/paste of the IG dungeon guide)

latent hull
#

Method has decent dungeon walkthrough write ups on their site

lusty grotto
#

there was a person working on one a few seasons ago

#
