Any of you guys running a SB + SS macro? I know it's prob stupid but it really made my life easier removing that 1 keybind.
When I was playing heavy repercussion I had like 96% SB uptime but now with into the fray it's down to something like 78%.
I'm heading to 9s RN and think I'm gonna have to put the macro away

Haha true. I respect it. Will post some logs tomorrow then just went of to bed. Just annoying as fuck. Feel like im doing all i can using defensives kicking etc.

what is SL

#

i thought it was Shadowlands

balmy remnant
#

people gotta stop using acronyms

lusty grotto
#

why would someone want to macro the worst wow expansion ever to shield block

#

i mean banner gameplay and outburst/reprisal was dope, but not enough to save that dogshit of an exp

#

i liked korthia or whatever is was called

lusty grotto
#

nah SL was worse than WoD

#

WoD is close though

#

but seriously what does SL mean

#

i have a feeling we may never know

#

shield slam maybe

toxic pewter

# graceful kite whats wrong with its hitbox?

In pre season it was hitting people well outside the visual effect. So I’ve always flew a little extra distance in my keys but haven’t gone back and tested if you can sit right on the edge now and be fine.

ah you're talking intermission one

I had of couple of people explode outside its visual range last week

#

OH NO

#

its happening again

#

they are already trying to roll for it lmao

that warrants a new nickname

#

well shit, that destroys trinket farming for me

now you need hero track

tribal wharf

i had hero sac in my vault

but there was some better item

Colossus looks so Sus in Raid

#

Probably a basic ass question,
But.

Do you have to be a certain ilvl for 7-10’s?

Or is it more mechanics?

tribal wharf
#

its always mechanics with wow

#

if you do 100% of the mechanics right, and do your rotation, etc

#

you will have very high chance when low ilvl

Press buttons right ☑️
Don’t press buttons wrong ❌

@dusky canopy wowhead posted how to do titan disc fast

hoary fox
#

im new to wow in general as of this expac so I dont know what im looking for when trying to figure out of my rotation is correct, but should my shield slam be outdamaging Thunder Blast/Clap?

lusty grotto
#

yes

tribal wharf
#

shield block when you do not have shield block active (boosts dmg among many other wonderful things)

#

ip when at very high rages

hoary fox
#

ip?

tribal wharf
#

ignore pain

hoary fox
#

ah yea

tribal wharf
#

its not on the GCD meaning you can cast it any time between casts

hoary fox
#

yea im usually spamming it

lusty grotto
#

dont spam it

tribal wharf
#

ya

lusty grotto
#

use it only above 70 rage

tribal wharf
#

keep enough rage to do a shield block

lusty grotto
#

which can be spammy depending on your rage intake

#

but dont just ham it down without thinking

tribal wharf
#

if you dont shield block and point shield at enemy, enemy kills you with melees and spells

hoary fox
#

is it not good to always at least have it up?

lusty grotto
#

it will be up all the time regardless

tribal wharf
#

ip is important, but shield block is more importanter

lusty grotto
#

SB is more important

hoary fox
lusty grotto
#

yes

#

thats what i mean as well

hoary fox
#

okay

#

gotcha

tribal wharf
#

that should be your 2 core thoughts "do i have shield block up" "do i have threat established/ tuant ready"

lusty grotto
#

you should only track SB (shield block) uptime

#

IP's uptime will be high regardless, because as Thane youre swimming in rage

hoary fox
#

okay, sb way more important than ip

lusty grotto
#

so press IP at 70+ rage

#

and youll be okay

split stratus
#

I really feel like I'm in paper, just tanked a Mists +7 (~605ilvl) but I really get hit like a truck. I'm under mitig, trying to cast as much IP as possible but still from 60% to 0% in 1.5sec with only melees, not sure why I'm dying so fast.

tribal wharf
#

one of the reasons i love protection warior is because it is "hide behind rock for survival" and it has proven to be and EXTREMELY good tactic to live irl

#

rock good protection

lusty grotto
#

link the log

#

"trying to cast as much IP" is a red flag

#

thats not how you mitigate primarily

this is war crimes

holy shit

lusty grotto

you can reflect Anima Slash

and spell block it

split stratus
#

Oh good to know, ty

robust urchin
lusty grotto
tribal wharf
#

here, this should help you immensely

lusty grotto
#

on the full 6

#

SB is your main active mitigation

tribal wharf
#

since you are at the stage that you are taking responsibility for what happened

lusty grotto
#

its 10000000000000% important that you block as close to 100% as possible

robust urchin
#

Just keep SR on Cooldown you're bound to reflect something eventually

lusty grotto
#

48% is ridiculously low

zealous goblet
tribal wharf
#

ohhh here

hoary fox
tribal wharf
#

i got something else

robust urchin
zealous goblet

shield block stacks up to.. 30 seconds.. if i recall

so just always be consuming your charges

of it

tribal wharf

And you wann be BIG PUMPER DPS TANK don't ya?

tribal wharf
#

any time you reflect and deal dmg

#

it will put it in say

tribal wharf

and makes it feel really good to do it

#

and now, your party knows you can do it.

lusty grotto

ok i need everyone to calm down

this is a code red

what about this one

hoary fox

how is yalls thunderblast doing so much damage lol

#

my shield slam heavily out damages it

robust urchin
hoary fox
#

i do

#

lol

split pebble
#

its a m+ btw, not raid

hoary fox
#

ah okay makes sense

tribal wharf
#

i played bfa, so i am expert at thunder clap

#

thats about it really

hoary fox
#

I prioritize SL over TC when its single target and both are up

robust urchin
#

Wish thunderclap would replace we for fury slayer tbh

lusty grotto
tribal wharf
#

call me crazy but i like thane fury for keys

robust urchin
#

Ur crazy

tribal wharf
#

same old but also mash tc

#

count me in

#

we have to bleeds them anyway

robust urchin
#

How do you cope with thane single target

split pebble
#

285 ss casts vs 136 tblast, was a quick 2 chest ara

tribal wharf
#

i did it in a "key" heroic

#

when we only have heroics

#

and i liked how it played, was doing good group dmg

hoary fox
#

do yall even use revenge? not seeing it on any charts lol

tribal wharf
#

about 5 to 10 times per dungeon

hoary fox
#

damn

tribal wharf
#

depending

hoary fox
#

im using it way too much then

tribal wharf
#

well, that depends, im thane

hoary fox
#

same

tribal wharf
#

thane does not like revenge

split stratus
#

Sorry, me again. If I understand this filter well, it means I'm only blocking 50% of hits while SB is active ? 🤔

tribal wharf
#

if u are colossus best friends with revenge

lusty grotto
#

SS should be 100% more damage than what Krasiz posted

#

im raiding atm so ill take a look in a sec

split stratus
#

Like I'm getting hit in the back or what ?

lusty grotto
#

proibs

tribal wharf
#

hes pulling a yogi

#

and showing ass

lusty grotto
#

i cant deep dive the log atm

split stratus
#

Is there a way to know if I'm getting hit in the back with warcraftlogs ? weird

lusty grotto
#

just give me a few

glhf mate

tribal wharf
#

here is the rage waste

split pebble
#

im only 607, no 4pc, so keep that in mind. didnt really felt liek i was missing casts but with into the fray i have 1 trillion haste so could be fosho

lusty grotto
#

your ilvl doesnt matter

#

a lot of us did those keys at 600 to 605

#

or higher level of keys

tribal wharf
#

im only ilvl 603

#

602

lusty grotto
#

you have a 610 shield as well, thats what matters

#

which is not low by any means

hoary fox
#

someone mind helping me understand the numbers lol

#

is this good or bad

tribal wharf
#

90% blocked hits and above is what you want to reach

split stratus
tribal wharf
#

80% is bad 85% is bad ish, 90% is acceptable

bleak wyvern
#

is 4 set good enough if 3/4 pieces are raid finder?

tribal wharf
#

87% blocked hits doesnt sound bad until you get back to back 7 million basic melee

tribal wharf
#

cuz you didnt block

lusty grotto
#

literally hover over hits

#

if you aura filter you will get filtered data, thats not what you want

split stratus
#

But I don't understand why the blocked/hit have almost the same avg value

tribal wharf
#

the only time its acceptable not to block is when its the very minor type of add, slightly larger than a critter

#

that has its like a weird pill hp bar, and isnt elite

lusty grotto
#

logs dont lie

robust urchin
lusty grotto
#

melee is not the only blockable attack there btw

split stratus
#

Yes I fully understand that I should keep SB up 100% of the time, but avg blocked hit should be like 50% of avg hit, right ?

lusty grotto
#

youre looking at the wrong thing

#

hover over hits

split stratus
#

Ok, I had the "Raw Damage" stuff enabled, I'm retared lol

#

time to sleep

#

tyvm for your help !

lusty grotto
#

ill ping you when take a closer look

#

so just check it tomorrow, when you wake up or w/e

split stratus
#

Really appreciate it mate 🫶

split pebble
# lusty grotto your ilvl doesnt matter

yeah, i just mentioned due to # of casts prob being more relevant than the raw dmg i think?

i went to compare to few other logs (well, not many publicly available) and the SS # of casts was p much around of what i had. yoda had 278 casts on the same dg, but a bit longer run, which is even a bit less than what i had

lusty grotto
#

yoda is not primarily a prot warrior

#

not the best example

#

he pushes high, but hes not used to warrior

mellow linden
#

so do we not use execute?

lusty grotto
#

we do

mellow linden
#

ty

split pebble
#

yeah ik, but it wasnt just him. but like ive said not many publicly available for dgs unfortch, so a bit hard to compare. ill just set up a recording to check stuff later eventually

lusty grotto
#

compare yourself to sense or nome

#

those are tried and true one trick ponies

#

plka if hes playing (im not sure)

split pebble
#

ill check them out, thanks

lusty grotto
#

granted, nome is playing colossus a lot so idk if he has thane logs

tribal wharf
#

dude thre is a billion ppl all trying to run mists rn

lusty grotto
#

easiest key

tribal wharf
#

i ask them why, and they say fish (haste) trinket

lusty grotto
#

with NW

#

yeah

#

this one?

#

🙂

split pebble
#

got 2 hero of those

#

🙂

tribal wharf
#

4k hastes

lusty grotto
#

oh yeah thats good for casters

tribal wharf
#

probably healers trying to get it

lusty grotto
#

hmm no

#

casters

tribal wharf
#

i could imagine healers crying about not getting it

#

do healers really

lusty grotto
#

casters prefer crit

robust urchin
tribal wharf
#

do the thing that is forbidden for tank

#

to 2 support trinket

lusty grotto
#

haste okay, but crit is king for healers

tribal wharf
#

i thought healer trinkets was similiar case to tanks

#

if they can afford to dmg they equip dmg ones

south zealot
tribal wharf
#

and if need heal, equip heal

south zealot
#

based on what food item you eat that day

mental granite
#

any tips on tanking with prot in the stonevault

tribal wharf
#

what part

#

which boss or associated trash?

robust urchin
tribal wharf
#

if its near final boss trash those totems hurt like hell

mental granite
#

mostly trash

tribal wharf
#

they cast earth shit

robust urchin
#

Pull
Mitigate damage
Do damage

#

It's rather easy when you think about it

tribal wharf
#

but ya, we need to know what part you had trouble on

amber knoll
#

new player, unsure of how ring enchants work. Can you use the same one for both rings? The guide has a normal and cursed enchant.

mental granite
#

just the final parts with void and earth aoes

amber knoll
#

ok cool, do I need to sim the "normal" vs "cursed"

tribal wharf
#

do not waste on rank 3 for a low tier ring

amber knoll
#

Yeah i'm poor, rank1-2 lol

tribal wharf
#

unless same gold

robust urchin
#

Just sell wow tokens

tribal wharf
#

that implies i bought them

robust urchin
#

Like you do have a job and disposable income right?

#

You aren't just leeching off of your government or parents right?

amber knoll
#

do the cursed/non cursed enchant even itself out? and just got with the cheaper?

tribal wharf
#

pass on wow token, i mean, probably 1 wow token for repairs and crafting and shit

#

but like,

#

i can survive on less gold if need to be

balmy remnant
#

you dont understand. you have a job. you must buy wow tokens

tribal wharf
#

oh no i have to do some wq to get flask/repair gold float

hoary fox
#

do yall usaully keep Avatar for Champ Spear and Ravager burst or do yall use on cd

balmy remnant
#

on cd

lusty grotto
tribal wharf
#

avatar is for everything but primarily shield charge

lusty grotto
#

go for non-curse

balmy remnant
#

i see avatar available i press avatar

hoary fox
#

okay cool

amber knoll
lusty grotto
#

but you can sim if you want to of course

tribal wharf
#

avatar + sc = BIG DMG

hoary fox
#

ive been missing out on a lot of dps then cause ive been holding for 1.5 min CD's

balmy remnant
#

yeah you are

#

avatar and demo on every pack

#

big dmg

hoary fox
#

is there something that shortens the cd? i see it up a lot of times before champ spear and ravager

balmy remnant
#

big fuck dam

#

yes

#

using rage reduces it

#

if you have the talent

hoary fox
#

ahh yea i def do

#

was like wtf i just used this

balmy remnant
#

yeah i recommend you read your talents and abilities

#

:)

amber knoll
#

What boosts cursed enchants?

hoary fox
#

im new so remembering all the shot that procs everything else is a steady process

tribal wharf
#

sometimes you cannot control this

balmy remnant
#

yeah like if the pack is dead im not avataring but if theres damage to be had im using it

hoary fox
robust urchin
tribal wharf
#

but, its not the end of the world if you send avatar after everything dies

#

im bigger now and useless rn... oh no anyway

#

i like to bring paladin to groups

#

freedom op

hoary fox
#

so much missed dps

balmy remnant
#

ye its big fuck dam

#

on big pulls when you got avatar + demo into ravager spear

flat cloak
#

can anyone help me with a Cata Classic Macro?

#showtooltip [mod:shift] Intervene; Charge
/castsequence [mod:shift] Intervene; Charge, Intercept

Will constantly try to cast Intercept first, even if I dont have rage.

Even if i swap to
#showtooltip [mod:shift] Intervene; Charge
/castsequence [mod:shift] Intervene; Intercept, Charge

Still tries doing Intercept first.

All i want is for that macro to cast Charge first and only cast Intercept if Charge is on CD

Any ideas?

balmy remnant
tribal wharf
#

i think

flat cloak
#

ill try there thanks

tribal wharf
#

oh

polar gust
flat cloak
#

yea, im trying to have shift held to do both

tribal wharf
#

you do all the avatar and demo shout and few other debuffs buffs

#

ur sc can EZ crit for 1 m +

quite often around 500k i want to say

simple drum
#

Thoughts on Bind of Bindings? It’s simming really high for me and it’s easily my next best crafted piece

hoary fox
#

do yall use WeakAuras? seems a little clunky but that might be just because ive never used before

warm plinth
#

You basically have to use weakauras in this game, or an addon that does the same thing. WeakAuras are just easier to customize a lot of the time since the code and everything is accessible in-game.

tribal wharf
#

DBM and GTFO can get you through 90% of problems when combined with logs

#

plater as well

lusty grotto
#

rare is the player in this disc that does not use one or another

hoary fox
#

alright, just gunna take some getting used to

balmy remnant
#

use premade stuff at first

#

dont worry about not understanding it, most people dont actually understand it

lusty grotto
#

for example (im arms atm)

#

this is mine

tribal wharf
#

pretty much the main WA i have is one that shows IP and plays a beep at slow interval when at high rage

#

rest of my wa dont matter

lusty grotto
#

my prot one is similar

hoary fox
#

yea i def need one that has less than what i currently have

#

has like 20 icons

tribal wharf
#

but, ya, plater is huge game changer

sinful light
#

do we want avoidance?

#

or does it reduce rage regen

tribal wharf
#

for example, you can find every monster that casts a nasty spell, and give him a purple name plate, or a green one on one that heals

scenic mural
#

Avoidance is pointless

simple drum
#

So ‘Just sim yourself’ is not always objectively correct then

tribal wharf
#

its not wrong

lusty grotto
#

i mean have you read what it does?

tribal wharf
#

cuz the sim is your optimal dps

#

which is your optimal survival

#

which i know sounds dumb

lusty grotto
#

and have you read how it works?

tribal wharf
#

but it is

lusty grotto
#

youre generalizing our "sim" answer

#

when we do it mostly to people linking vaults

tribal wharf
#

a bit

lusty grotto
#

or when comparing linings

#

context is important

#

so

tribal wharf
#

i dont know where he gets the idea that avoidance reduces his rage regen? ??

#

do we get rage when we get meleed?

lusty grotto
#

kinda wild he drops this garbage

#

and then says nothing

#

what a guy

#

ill change my answer to

#

go for it

#

sims high? do it

#

🤡

simple drum
#

I’m sorry Nim, to be honest I raged because I just crafted the ring since it simmed so high so when you said that I felt like I just wasted crests/mats

tribal wharf
#

it makes me so happy i had a competent group for seige, and that i timed the SV i blue screened in

#

Explain it to me like I'm a level 50...
Why the shield block talent change because of how much haste we have?

hoary fox
#

whats some mandatory WAs yall have? i've got spell reflection assist, Prot warr mitigation, and a fairly basic warrior skill setup

#

I like the spell reflect one because there's a lot of spells that target random people and it's too hard to tell if it's on you or not.

#

#

makes correctly IDing mobs that randomly cast instant kills the healer bolt

#

ez

rigid yew
#

I'm using threat plates and I can't figure out the right settings to stop the health bars from shooting too far up off screen

tribal wharf
#

plater can do that

#

i have mine set to stop sign colors for if i have aggro or not

hoary fox
#

this shit is confusing as hell lol

tribal wharf
#

you want to find a profile for plater

#

someone will have one for the content you are doing

rigid yew
#

Link your plater profile and I'll sub to your onlyfans

lusty grotto
#

youre good

#

the ring will not be a dead craft

#

just make sure you link up

#

and then craft with another sparks and/or in 2 weeks to replace the embelish

#

that slot is far from dead

tribal wharf
#

i need more runed crest

#

then im good

#

i can use about 60

#

once im past able to use carveds to upgrade ill do 4 or somethin spam

hoary fox
#

anyone know how to swap an icon out in WA?

#

this stuff is hella confusing

small bone
#

Which is more beneficial to craft; a weapon or shield?

Shield

#

Well, shield is a more important slot

Hi, does anyone’s finger gets cramped while spamming ignore pain on big pulls? It’s a lot to press so I was thinking of macro-ing to one of my skills to ease up the spamming of IP. Currently thinking of macro-ing it to shield slam. Or would macro-ing to thunder clap be better?

i have my IP on scroll wheel up

Not bad, can we see the cast numbers?

split pebble
#

they fixed orbs on last boss already in case anyone wondering, was p chill dg, only 3 deaths

split pebble
#

yes there is

earnest nymph
#

are you not running ravager?

split pebble
#

no, using battle scarred

#

just in case

lusty grotto
#

why are you dropping ravager for BSV

#

drop champion's bulwark

#

and shield charge

south zealot
#

drop shield charge and champions bulwark and get bolster and bsv

#

if thats what you want to do

lusty grotto
#

grab Bolster, drop Shield Charge + Champs Bulwark, keep Ravager

wooden widget
#

just got sikrans 1hander, radiant or depths??

split pebble
#

using into the fray tho, not sure if its a good idea to drop shield charge with that. but honestly i just copied dorki going full defensive cause im not worried about dmg for now

#

ill test other stuff too

earnest nymph
#

idk how anyone has enough haste to use itf at the moment

#

maybe I'm crazy though

lusty grotto
#

i have a question

#

youre using

#

BSV

#

but are ITF?

#

brother you need to decide

#

thats so weird

#

dont play BSV, play regular Heavy Reper build

#

you dont go ITF with a hyper safe build

split pebble
lusty grotto
#

not with our haste levels

#

thats half assing

#

dont half ass

#

full ass

split pebble
#

think at a 11+ id have to drop it

earnest nymph
#

I didn't think we played ITF until like almost 40% haste or something

lusty grotto
#

we shouldnt

#

buf if the mentality is being so cautious as to pick BSV

#

why would you stop being cautious and pick ITF with sub 40% haste?

#

ITF isnt benefitting you at all, youre dropping all damage talents

#

you have no ravager

#

ok i just got myth shoulders

#

time to cata

#

I know nobody plays it. But. Has anybody else that runs colossus had the problem where hitting 3+ targets with revenge does not give a stack of colossal might?

I mostly notice it in raids and in delves where it just... doesn't work. Does anyone has any insight into that at all? Is it just a bug that isn't being fixed because nobody plays the spec?

uhhh i thought it was working when i was playing it, i'll check later

#

you're not the first person today to use SL @unique wyvern

#

so that's why I was confused

unique wyvern
earnest nymph
#

ohhhh lol

unique wyvern
#

But FR is just me mixing up the acronyms not Tryna be funny

lusty grotto
#

it has been that way since beta

#

you want a might stack, you need to untalent seismic

#

or dont cause its kind of a dps loss

obsidian harness
#

That can't be it, I don't run seismic reverb in my raid build. I DO run it in keys, and it works fine in keys

civic holly
#

how does authority of the depths work?

lusty grotto
#

OH

#

yeah yeah

#

thats why

#

so it only awards it WITH seismic

mighty valley
#

??

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

i had it backwards

#

its been a while

#

but we discussed it ages ago during beta

#

so yeah hes right

#

seismic IS needed for the might stack

#

otherwise you dont get it

mighty valley
#

how odd, i guess i've only been fury in raid

#

so hadn't noticed

sharp epoch
#

does the dmg reduction this provides show in details? or do i have to log to check

lusty grotto

its minimal so it doesnt matter

Oppressive Oratur's Larynx vs. Silken Chain Weaver. Both are A Tier, hm...

Is there a WA yet for Spell reflect or are we just referring to spreadsheet

You can't really sim a defensive cooldown vs an offensive cooldown.

#

Shield wall, spell reflect, demo and dwarf, prayge

#

Prolly can spell reflect first ones. Then cycle your other stuff. Then spell reflect will be back.

#

Idk the actual rng on getting multiple double guardians in the maze. Hasn’t happened to me yet tho

#

Def not back to back

earnest nymph
#

not possible to get them back to back if I'm looking at this correctly

wooden widget
#

Yeah that sounds right. So normal cycle of cooldowns and you’re safe. Packs shouldn’t be living insanely long anyways. Soon enough dps will have enough ilvl to blast down 10s

Hello Tankerinos. As i dont get any invites as Fury i'll try it as Prot. Can i tank 9s with 605 ? This Week ?

#

Shield and Weapon are ass.

mighty valley
#

a good shield would help but it's mostly about knowing how to play the dungeons

frank badge
#

yeah i got destroyed at +12 mist with 2 guardians

azure pulsar
#

Hi, can anyone share which part have you crafted lvl 636 gear? I think having lvl 639 weapon will take months for me. In that case, should not I go to craft the weapon?

frank badge
#

i crafted the 636 weap and shield on the first week

narrow fern
#

how big is tier for prot war?

azure pulsar
#

Tier is essential no matter how big it is..

narrow fern
#

not so much for dps, hence why im asking for prot since im mostly dps

azure pulsar
#

For dps comparison you may input conditions to simulationcraft?

lusty grotto
neon elk
lusty grotto
#

🤔

#

i mean are they both same ilvl?

#

larynx is farmable, silken chain weaver drops are hidden behind RNG maps

#

and vault

#

so

#

if they are both hero, weaver should be the pick based on that

Heyo, what would a 615 ilvl prot with a 593 shield comfortably tank?

I'm 613

I think you will be okay

How high should a 600 ilvl try to push?

You can realistically do up to like

# fathom robin okay, im just starting on 4s, so ill just keep going

600ilvl +8's all day long, if your struggling to survive in higher than that take better dps players who will kill things faster - dont be afraid to push into higher keys because you think your undergeared - the only thing that kills us is making stupid errors in play or bad teammates - your gear can carry them only so much

Yea but whats the point of your advice him doing 8s ?

sand pebble
#

confidence between 'i can only do a 7 with this gear' to 'i might try a 9 because that 8 felt fine'

#

question was 'can i do this' not 'how do i min max drops from m+'

round pendant
#

you can do +10s in 580 gear

#

you'll be sweatin

#

and need decent players

#

but it's possible!

neon elk
#

My point still stands, its pointless to do 8s all day long ..

polar bridge
#

At least 9s is good because of gilded crest

round pendant

I agree

#

Blizzard really scuffed the m+ levels and their rewards imo

Are there any exceptions to spell block or are all spells reduced by block% ((~45%) when active?

Hello i just got my 4 part and switch to spear talents, how do you play it ? What the point i mean, it's 100k dps under roar talent.

ohh nvm it was roar

It off cd u press it and hit as many mobs as possible

#

Nope

strong forum
#

If it's doing 100k dps less for you, that means you're playing worse

#

Or the wrong talents to begin with

strong forum
#

Ravager is untouched

if you happened to have some TB and SS proc during your ravager/spear, you make insane dps

When i sim roar against spear, i lost 100k dps so it's hard to understand.

opal forum
#

do you pair ur spear with ravager and other CD when avalaible?

#

you have a small window right after spear

#

where you want to deal as much damage

halcyon crystal
#

since i crafted weapon and shield with spark, what would be the next best choice for the 3rd spark ?

opal forum
#

so things like demo shout should be cast just before (when its up)

strong forum
#

Cuz

#

That sounds wrong

#

Unless you're playing colossus

#

If you're colossus you stick with roar

#

Any situation that I simmed as mountain thane, spear just won over roar, so I'm curious what you have

#

Cuz 100k is a lot

opal forum
#

the only thing i can think of is he's wasting GCD during the 25% dmg buff on things that dosent do damage (like sending demo shout and ravager during it rather then just before), i was doing this mistake last week

graceful kite
#

100k should be impossible

strong forum
#

It's a sim

#

So it has to be just fucked up talents

#

And not taking both spear nodes

opal forum
#

oh

strong forum
#

Or forgetting unstoppable force

#

Or forgetting 1h spec

#

Cuz you give up cruel strikes to get all spear talents + UF

opal forum
#

maybe he dosent sim the right thing

#

idk

strong forum
#

My bet is on still taking 2/2 cruel strikes

#

Instead of going 3/3 spear talents

Mhhh fair, only issue I have with new mystic this week is that the mobs are insane so i tried hard to AOE a lil more than go for dmg

strong forum
#

I got literally 50% more demolishs off

Because you only get stacks from shield slam, execute, and from revenge on 3+ targets

You wanna maximise getting your colossal might stacks and demolish cdr that way

oh you dont even have ravager

You don't have Ravager or piercing challenge

So you miss out on a ton of dmg or synergy

You also don't have rallying cry or intervene?

Kinda weird for an m+ build to not have supportive talents

strong forum

Trickle down* but ye

strong forum
#

And then for some reason do not pick piercing challenge with spear, which makes no sense

#

So they're doing some kind of fucked up half measure build

#

Which as you found out, is a dmg loss

#

And half-measure builds are just.. Whack

#

Meanwhile Ravager grants a good burst of rage gen and dmg every 1.5min to let you stabilise and setup a pull

#

To help you survive and get the rotation going

hasty palm
#

When i come back from work work i'm gonna check et try with that change.
For the best output of damage do you recommand thane or colosses with 4 part ?
