What’s the two best defensive trinkets? I’ve been using the one from stone vault and sacbtood and the stone vault one feels like it sucks
it does
sacbrood
is good
do you raid?
which one is pretty good?
im only doing m+
blessed weapon grip; sim to double check and what not
Sometimes I feel like that too but tbh I think it's just healer diff
but I think it be pretty good
if you dont have easy access to myth loot
you can also just slap on the recommended embellishment though on a armor piece
hey guys when do we skip ITF for HR ?
Only HC
can you rephrase your question
i just tried DAWN 12 and got a downtime on SB versus 3 targets (the 2nd mini boss)
got OS
because of za haste!
any collection of these is good
my stats without ITF
mandate is S huh... OK I'll try to get it next time.
why would you run itf with 26% haste
Kek lmao
It seems nomeratur said ITF was good at this state of season
You need like 35% or so
i play wprot since 1 week
you didnt understand what he said
good for raid not the M+
prob pretty good in some keys
big nuke on some of these bosses with damage amps
or Stichflesh
will give it a try yep
ITF is still not optimal
for this season
youre trading gaps for a dps boost, you will die if you dont know what youre doing
im at 32% and i still run HR
speaking of which there is no such thing as too much shield slam right? Sometimes with skyfury buff and thane I could almost get 6 back to back SS.
of course not
i'm struggling to imagine what the downside could be
i guess if you chained ss so much
that rend/dw both fell off
and you just kept getting procs
well was thinking about pressing Thunderblast in the AoE situation.
But my instict said just press SS till cooldown
yeah if ST I'll happily not think about TB 👍
you press TB, but TC has a cd
what are you using in between that cd?
if you have SS resets, it should be SS
SS grants TB stacks
do not ever forget that
Suffering from success
dw wont fall off
unless you mean aoe
sometimes i forget to thunderclap as colossus lol
Well the common situation I face is I press ThunderBlast then it proc the 2 SS no CD, then well with skyfury sometimes devastator proc a lot and after that the SS keep resetting while in the middle of spamming those 6 SS proc one of them proc Thunderblast. my instinct just said press SS till really no reset anymore then press Thunderblast.
however I wonder if I should maybe press Thunderblast first then return to SS in AoE situation.
Guys what is the BIS empalish ment for real ??
#protection-faq and read the guides
is this any good?
What weapon enchant would you guys recommend?
depth
whatever is in the guides
in the raid on princess, does the tank need to rotate where he drops the pool or can you do the same spot over and over?
you can do the same spot
but
it depends on where the other portals are
if the other portals are consistent, then the same spot will work
wow yeah, that crash from the bug at end of threads hurts lmao
ty!
So I main spec fury, having a hard time getting into higher keys so I’m gonna try and tank my way through it, if I just get the right spec and whatever will I get deleted or will I be good (612ilvl fury and I have a 1h and shield for prot that’s heroic track)
Last thing I want is to waste my time and others if I just keep falling over
talents arent as important as knowing how to play it
but you should definitely use the builds in our guides #protection-faq
Okay thanks, I mean it’s not entirely hard to play tbh I just wanna know if gear will be an issue
ok but whats giving you the impression that gear will be an issue?
you have a heroic weapon and shield
is your impression that people have myth weapons + shields already?
Inner conscious telling me dps gear isn’t tank gear
you geared fury so you have haste
and while mastery is last in prio, its still strong
your itemization shouldn't get you deleted
That’s all I wanna know
not even close
your gameplay (or lack of) is 99% more likely to get you killed instead
Hit your buttons and you’ll be fine, if it get hairy hit cds
Still new but I’m assuming io resets with spec or no
i am here to show something ive done. i'm improving at least.
no
Perfect
but people will see you have dps io
Just keep tanking few Highkeys and you Will have both icons
yup
Yeah I plan on doing 3s for a bit to get my feet wet while still progging my vault but I have 5s in dps across the board but can’t get into any 6 or 7s so I feel forced to switch specs
go for it
Any particular reason you think I can’t get into higher keys tho?
Like I’m insta rejected on 6 and even 7s even though I timed every single 5
For Keys i would recommend pushing ur own key and stop wasting your time trying to get into one
i agree
Fair enough
I’m surprised as a tank you’re instantly declined to 6s/7s
Probably due to the fact that 2500 tanks might be farming trinkets still or something
I’ve tried one 7, bricked my own Dawnbreaker.
Brain and route issue not gear. I’m 611, pretty sturdy.
No as a fury which is even more wild be were topping meters
How can I get higher io if I cleared all 5
im at 2.3k rio, got all my score as fury, and despite that I have a way easier time getting invited to 9s/10s as prot than as fury
not 5
hey friends, what's our third craft? or what do you recommend?
the same recommendation that the wowhead/icyveins guides give
I can’t raise io if I cleared all 8 5s yet can’t get into 6 or 7
ye
basically they say weapon and shield
tracks
thats how it goes for dps
you just gotta keep applying
but in general what Moneytalks said
Well for context when a pug leader sees a fury warrior at 2400 and another one at 1900 which one do you think they’ll pick?
run your own key
You can have multiple crafts, just not embellishments, is that it? Sorry, am smooth brained.
It’s just the way the system works
just remember, it's you + at a min 15 other applicants, at most 50+
my ratio of timed keys to depletes as also been way higher playing prot than fury in pugs
most of these tanks are monkeys
see my statement
dps have so little agency in m+
now that isnt true
correct, you can embelish 2 crafts only, but you can have more than 2 crafts equipped (as long as they are not embelished beyond 2)
good stops make a large difference
but i do understand the sentiment
tank dies
not much u can do
dps have little agency in lower keys
You’re very kind. Thank you. Time to make a better weapon.
Tank is primarily the reason a key is successful or not up to a certain point
we have pop here of all levels
But once you get into high high keys all 5 people are equally liable
^
I more so meant that staright up dmg doesnt matter that much for timing 9s, getting good ccs/interrupts matters more for sure
I had a tank pull three packs to “clear room” before the second boss in gb last night he got fucking deleted from the face of earth
and just not wiping
3 packs in second boss room? xD
gl with that
Yep
6
its doable but u shouldnt do that realistically
Bring back molten giant reflect
I mean on a 6 its dioable for sure
so 🤷
2 golems 9 casters okay…
Do your key
yea those blade dudes will fuck your day up with that dot
had a DH try that shit and melted and died 3x in a row.. like homie use your brain you clearly can't this week
the casters are the least of your worries
That dot is reflectable/deflectable
takes notes
I had a bear druid, 2.2k rio in my dawnbreaker the other day, kept compalining healer wasnt healing and he was just dying to melees on pull with 3 adds and the miniboss that does the orb. my friends and I checked logs and he was standing in orb, stacking dot ticking for 5.5M. bro also cast frenzied regen only 13 times the entire key
like
how is that even possible
healer 1.2m hps on that pull btw
There's a spell reflect document pinned here somewhere.
#protection-faq its here
In the faq.
yeaaaa, i saw i and my eyes glazed over lol
I did and had a monkey tank that bricked it
so do it again
not that there's anything wrong with the spread sheet, but like trying to commit that all is yeesh, def good ref. for those things that fuck your day up though
practice makes perfect
Tank your own key
run your own key again
run it up
tank it down
run it up
tank it down
thats how you get better
you cant expect only to time
Then dropped to a 5 cleared to to a 6 and had a tank brick sv by insisting on doing the exploit thing and fucked it up and dps rage quit
r1, TGP, MDI, title players are good because they run MILLIONS upon millions of keys
Why aren't you tanking your own key
its not because they magically go into a key and time
oh look at this 20 (old 30s), instant time <-- this does not happen
Because I’m a fury main, the whole reason why I’m in here is bc it might be easier just to tank it
I transitioned from classic after tanking all of wotlk classic I didn’t wanna tank here too
7s are pretty fun for me
Fair enough
tbh retail tanking > classic tanking though, big damn, lots of fun, but it is what it is. Just expect pug tanks to rip your key from time to time
people seem to underestimate a good tank and what it does for the group and success of the run
I agree with you
I felt pretty bad for backpedalling into the double shaman pack and causing a wipe in the gb 7 I ran but we still timed by like 6 or 7 minutes
Good tanks are few and far between
i disagree
am I the only one getting shredded by the pack to the left of the 3rd boss area in siege? the add the applies the stacking poison fucking shreds if u dont have a poison dispell
I think part of the issue is people will see the MDT routes people use in MDI
There’s a lot of brain dead tanks out there ngl
and think they can 1:1 it and that's where people get trapped
Cope
the ratio is the same with all role types
Yes and no, tanks have a direct correlation whether you finish or not
Is swarmlord actually bad? It's hitting 12% of my overall healing in 9's
I’m sure the crybaby fury war main will be a better tank
Put the crack spoon or needle down
I think tank/healer can be more immediately noticeable vs dps int/not inting etc there's 100% layers
If I pull 5 packs constantly we ain’t finishing
thats not tanking, thats basic routing
I just got meat hook- and everything I read says swarmlord underperforms and is meter bait. But, is it?
and largely common sense
I did but no one from top players following that I guess for a reason and was seaking the reason here 😄
ask them then
we can't answer for them
we can only answer for what we recommend, which is what's in the guides
anyway case in point
bad tanks getting carried by dps
like Nextback
or Nerf on warrior
we've seen it in every expansion
tanks are not the main character of a key
drop that ego bullshit
youre doing yourself a diservice
You can be an unkillable wall, if dps do not press buttons you’ll be there for an eternity. Dps will be dead without heals.
It’s all layers.
if anyone deserves a title such as key protagonists its healers
I agree with that
because since DF, they have to deal with 200% more bullshit
its not just heal whoever fucks up, now you gotta deal with pulses and groupwide rot damage on every single pack
and that's gonna stay
Any SR WA this season?
Rip
unless i was doing somthing wrong but it stilll wouldnt get feared
but no damage

Yeah healers are the real MVP. As squishy as dps, but gotta keep everyone alive. Track all CDs. And we also ask them to dish as most dps as they can 😂
yea healers are a diff breed
couldn't be me lol
my buddy loves it, but then wil rage tf out the second an ele sham doesn't use AG
can't say I blame them though lol
Is the healing meta set or is everyone kinda all good rn
getting a good player matters immensely more than what spec/class theyre playing
This might be the most condescending thing I’ve seen you say
whats the best warr spec, if any, to solo Zekvir? Im trying with prot, but i either interrupt the dot or his full hp heal. dot dooms me in a few seconds, and his heal obvs makes it imposible to survive
you need to hear it
Yeah thanks dickhead a simple no would do
I need to take a shit rn is what I need to do brb
meta barely matters for getting title(that is to say, getting 1 io past cutoff)

which is also very different from saying at your level, it doesnt matter
if you feel shamed for having a certain key level thats on you, or them
i would be a lot more clearer on it if i wanted to be condescending
Doing anythign below a 9 is cursed
I’m so close
You’re projecting if you think that’s condescending

No seriously.. Anything below a 9 is hella cursed..
why even bother playing keys when u can just play the AH
Why play the AH when you can play the stock market
“Play the stock market” (gambling and calling it finance)
im in uni
i have like
literally, not fucking around, 3 cents in my bank account rn
Brutal
Made 8k on Doge today
like not an exgaggeration im not sitting on a fatty stack of 20$ or something
Anything in life is a gamble if you view it that way. There’s hundreds and hundreds of years of historical pattens and data behind it
it is 00.03, that is why 
Bro 💀
Brother the stock market has not been around for hundreds of years LMAO
Going to uni is gambling that your degree you’re getting matters in 20 years
Holy fucking cope
Start playing options and that's when the real gambling begins
Tulip mania (Dutch: tulpenmanie) was a period during the Dutch Golden Age when contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels. The major acceleration started in 1634 and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637. It is generally considered to have been the first recorded spe...
i mean yeah i guess
Farting is gambling that I’m not shitting my pants
double major data sci&computer engi is in the same boat as basket weaving in that logic
🤷🏻♂️
you have poor logic and maybe should of paid more attention to lecture
Mom and dad told him there’s hundreds of years of data and history around touching the stove and he did it anyway so
Bro has that “made $10k off Bitcoin and thinks he’s a finance guru” vibe
Yeah I done fucked up the point I was trying to make is that there’s data that proves that some patterns mean it’s gonna go up others it’s gonna go down etc
u sound like the crypto bros in my lectures that i overhear gambling their stuloans on monkeyidiotcoin
that isnt a compliment
Bro it’s all manipulated by the people with actual money if you think you can outsmart or outmaneuver the people literally holding the plug you are stupid
i figured i had to clarify; he might take it as a compliment 
na but look at me
gang gang yo
we making it out with this gamble ‼️
Y’all over think it so much
Reminds me of the time I paid some Russian girl on TikTok to say “gang gang” over and over so I could post it in #fury
I play a Draenei in moonguard I never need to get money
you too?
i dated a russian girl my freshman year who i would get to say funny shit and i put it on my discord soundboard
Anyway the only stock market “playing” you should do is ETFs and indexes. I’m up 22% YTD 🙂
The whole point I was trying to make is why log onto wow to play the ah and never do anything else
Some people find that fun
What’re you gonna spend the gold on
And you won’t ruin your life forever by losing real money
Mfw I learn that fun is subjective
Wait until this guy learns about Eve online
some people actually make that their job
Which is basically a fake stock market except there’s pictures of space ships
Fair enough but 1.2 mil is 40$ which you can make by working 2 hours at a very average job
do u think
thats what my statement was intending
are you dense or stupid
and intentionally or unintentionally
oh yeah, forgot that the world is only american, there is no way some places with reduced incomes would that be worth, like in Latin America or Philippines
Osrs gold is consistently more valuable to farm than actual Venezuelan 9-5’s for years
40$ is basically a week of work easily in Venezuela, for example
ive always wondered
does that factor in electricty cost and sunk cost for pc
cus like
Fair if you’re there go for it but you’re more than likely in NA so it’s invalid
pc expensive, electricity expensive, no?
dont have to go to venezuela, in france 20 euros an hour is a crazy job, not an average one
lol bro, you think people who work in that wouldnt play in the servers where that makes sense? just say you didnt know about it and go
gotta remember in most of europe salaries are way lower than in the us but life is overall much less exopensive as well
It doesn’t apply to me so it’s invalid
Ok
also, in Venezuela, we have a better connection in NA than in actual SA servers. Sources: im venezuelan
Other people aren’t real
i mean
Damn cooked by an actual Venezuelan
Pronouns are a joke
WOOOOO
Sorry
LETS GOOOOO I LOVE BEING HOMOPHOBIC
pronouns are an important part of speech that have existed for thousands of years and have only recently been politicized in the last two years by the fringe right wing, but okay
Take it out of context why don’t ya

so i can't use any pronouns to refer to R_Gruber21? that's gonna be confusing
What do you mean by it then
and even then, is not like you need 100ms to basically gather or do simple farming, is... just a thing of us. Thankfully i have a remote work so i could be spared of that
dammit i used i
Tell me what you don’t like
DAMMIT HARROW DID IT AGAIN
About calling you he
used to work at OSRS, and i hated that game
you used a pronoun in that sentence
by the way
Do you really wanna go down that rabbit hole
another pronoun used
bruh so fucking cringe. im getting gold seller ads from obvious bots in my mail

i would fix that given your ideology
Shit cracks me up man
for consistencys sake, if nothing else
Like “I hate nouns!!!!”
Can’t say anything without hurting someone feelings it’s crazy
nouns are the hardest to attack
How do people not get how stupid that makes you sound
bro. i fucking cannot STAND adjectives.
is sad, but those accounts basically paid 50$+ dollars to exist, so some americans must actually buy them to make it worth
do u think anyone is upset
Bro I’m laughing my ass off
im just making fun of you because your skull is thicker than my concrete uni walls mate
i think the person who's most upset is the person who took the time to put "fuck/you" in their profile
calm yourself

No but like pronouns are just a joke 5 years ago no one gave a flying fuck so what changed
what is going on here
bro hates parts of speech
Idek anymore
Do you know what a pronoun is
Yes
Tell me
its very clearly a Professional Noun
no
He/him, she/her, they/them etc
thats a prof noun
no
Oh it’s one of those talking again
those are examples of pronouns

the noun that has won tournaments, and works at nouning

He asked what a pronoun is not a noun
Bro oh my god
here is a nice chart
Yeah I’m cooked
Stop watching Andrew Tate
Not a fan of him
Don’t believe you
Talks out of his as tbh
i'm glad "you" is one of your pronouns. saying "fuck" all the time sounds difficult
You’d get along great then I feel
The only two words you need to know regarding pronouns are “fuck” and “off”
wait LOL he literally has a pronoun in his bio
*fuck has a pronoun in fuck's bio
out of all the reasons to not like andrew tate him "talking out of his ass" is probably lower on the list haha

Conservatives actually crack me up
Eh I think he’s over the top with most of his beliefs
fuck sorry mods
I love Andrew Tate he is so based and masculine "what color is your Bugatti" epic xD
gn chat
personally, my nouns are out here winnin' majors
gonna go take 10 grams of shrooms and meditate on this statement i think
LOL
Cherry stays winning
W RIZZ bro just remember no gooning
Never goon.
this is worse than telling me i have bugs under my skin.
lets just take a second and marvel at the majesty of this recurring Skyhold gif
I wish andrew tate and jordan peterson could have a sigma baby together, world's first crypto-toddler
There is copper wire under your skin, take it out and sell it
Paranoid and Shizzopilled so based
I CANNOT
I think he suffers from paranoia, always thinking someone out to kill him
m,y guildies were in that clip
my favorite gif of all time
lmfao
That’s hilarious
I don't like taking Ravager bc I already have too many binds. Is that wrong?
not wrong, just sub optimal
it's not wrong to not like it, but you will be less strong without it
by the fuck
we're not gonna place you under arrest 🙂
BRO IS THAT A MR BEAST AKA MR RIZZ REFERENCE? I LOVE MR BEAST AND KRIS TYSON BRO THIS SO MICH W SKIBIDY GYATT FEASTABLE BRO LETS GO TOMATO TOWN
why did melidrussa double shard on pull
that shit was so tilting to get double sharded+melee'd
on god
No cap u know what I'm saying
No cap rizzed up
Don’t mind me nim I just thought we were talking as if we had 20 IQ
I am dead ass not vibing with the BDK in my guild you know what I'm saying, he larps for real man no cap he has Ohio rizz
well i did say "on god"
The average age in here shot up by 35 years
I see ppl taking Ravager but skipping Disrupting Shout. I like the shout more in pugs.
35? Damn bro that's ancient how was world war 2 bro
@lusty grotto whats the summation of u32^2 off the top of ur head
dont mind me
quick
taking my stroll on my wheelchair
me everytime i log in on my dk x.x
how dare you
Are any of you guys having issues with nightfall shadowalker in dawnbreaker? I keep getting 1 shot thru everything
yeah its just ass in pugs
W ride bro that's sick put some spinners on that thang and some whistles THE WHISTLES GO WHOOOOO WHOOOOOO
is it 7
can you pull those mobs solo alone
yes
they dont have a large pull range
more rage and damage on pull is just more always relevant than one more kick, but i get it if your group is truly terrible with kicks and you feel like you need to handle them all. ravager just does a lot for one talent point
theres a caster in the smash one
ye
caster spawns first. kick him and pull him back and you're chilling
the smash one totally screwed us, but i screwed the key very early on
pull him, kick him, then walk him away like a silly little doggy
until some dumbass caster pulls it
and it got out of control
well what about if they both spawn in
like you wipe to it
cry.
uhh they're gonna overlap and fuck you
you can't pull both without syncing their casts
err,,, i guess technically desyncing
is there a way to import a keystone guru route and it shows up on your map and shows you where to go witout opening the mdt?
Nope
dammit
2nd monitor 🙂
Are any of you guys having issues with nightfall shadowalker in dawnbreaker? I keep getting 1 shot thru everything
or a phone 🙂
wait so what about start of threads
so
what im doing there is if we have the buff, we combine first 2 big pulls
no
and if we dont i try to skip to stairs group
and we saw the question the 1st time
well now you know, and knowing is half the battle
and so tldr what happened was i saw we didnt have the buff, so i tried to skip and we butt pulled, and i didnt realize the casters were alive doing shit
very true
and then it just unraveled from there
i tried my best to keep the key going and we even killed 3rd boss
psst
i knew it was over early on though
what does light blue Yes mean? take a look in #protection-faq in Sense's sheet!
Eyyyy, dope, thanks ❤️
THANKS YOGI
for the right column
NOW THEY DONT HAVE TO CHECK THE SHEET
stop all the downloadin
im so done with this season already lmfao
i will not allow it
get right back to it this instant
pugging
pro tip: it aint that deep
lol

i say lust first pull
if it doesnt happen
im pressing these amazing drums
thats how i solve that
"And the groups? Oh-ho-ho! The PUGS. You ever do a Mythic+ with a random group? That's a recipe for pain. One dude's pulling everything in sight like he’s Leeroy Jenkins’ cousin, another is standing in fire wondering why they’re dead, and the healer? AFK. Always AFK, right when you need them most! I’ve seen better coordination in a monkey fight at the zoo!"

today I was gearing my monk in a heroic NW, group wasn't coming close to pointing the meat hook at the boss for like 10+ adds

ye wasnt sure who u were talkin to LMAO
so you just let them figure it out at that point and scuff their own run if they want to lol
W
hi guys i have 1h and shield 619 crafted, what should i upgrade to 636 first? just doing m+ content
please stop pasting this stuff it is unbearably unfunny
CHIKANERY

lower body paralysis is a TERRIBLE disease
I watched 3 dps/healer stare at the second fear cast from the double marauder pack in NW
none of them even tried to kick it, they all had their kicks up
was hilarious
presses berserker rage as a fury problem officer?
i still like gpt
I had 3 dps force healer to do cannon in belarus and run off with the dot to next part…
in belarus eh?
belarus my favorite m+ dungeon this season
lots of times when i ask questions in coming weeks most of those questions are sincere
and trying to learn what to do
cuz mount
I took Dwayne to Belarus
Expect the worst I essentially got called bad
then ill go back to not caring at all
well you got called stupid, not bad, and it had nothing to do with anything gameplay related
and everything to do with your words
Had a couple non factual takes it happens
surely thats all that happened 
Surely
among other things
goat movie
checks zipper
i dunno how in that SV 4 i did i had so much fucking clarity that i got hit with a blue screen and still come back and timed the key
need to channel whatever energy that was more
finds a miniture me mining for weiner cheese

"if it ain't smoked it ain't gouda!" brann delightfully exclaims
You seem a decent fellow
I hate to kill you
so thats really how it is with the final room of threads
have to get it on the first go or GG
as long as they don't remake monte python and holy grail dont give a fuck
GET ON WITH IT!!!
bro
i saw monty python a million years ago for the first time during college being high af
bring out your dead!!
that was an experience
ya, basically same
i swear i was gonna die of asphyxiation
You're the king?
I didn't vote for you
my go to was usually just good ole dave chappelle
but this one time we were like "oh we should watch this, its a cult classic"
i liked space balls
STRAWBERRY
NO lord helmet I did not see you play with your dolls again
Good!
Me in every pug m+
I’ve actually never watched Monty python start to finish
is the new aliens movie out yet?
yea
You're not missing anything
good reviews from what I saw
hell yea
From Monty python I mean
Meh
jesus it was out last month
Which Talents should I swap when i wanna Play Dragons roar instead of spear as Mountain thane in m+?
ive been out of it
85% audience rating
91% on google
so
seems good
yeah seen
I’m still kinda annoyed they didn’t make another continuation of the Prometheus films
yeah...
Would like to see another
its probably for the best apb
They got shit on too much by gen xers
LOL
I actually enjoyed them
i mean they were bad movies
is this trinket good?
its decent yes
2min cd is awful to play with
thats the drawback yes
what would you guys use: ovinax egg, meat hook, ritual knife or that trinket
whatever sims best
They were just really dumb
good call, forgot that i could sim
I disagree I enjoyed the mythos they created and David was a cool character but I guess I’m in the minority
I also enjoyed shadowlands
you wanna read a better alien origin/universe? read the dark horse comics
I dunno man I hated the supposed space jockeys in them
AVP is definitely guilty pleasure schlock
the last predator movie was great

The one with the autistic kid?
No
lol, out of all this, trinket that i didn't even mention sims best(detachable fang)
i was talking about Prey
Ironically not a movie about Hollywood execs
The Dr disrespect movie
💀💀💀💀💀
Lol
remember
rename the .doc to .pdf
guys are we playing with the magic interv?
seems very shit in high keys
its like 500k ?
its better than nothing
I use it yeah it adds up and stuff
Better than constantly putting stuns on dr
i just discovered last boss of Dawn dont want to leave melee xd
CDR on shockwave was cool tbh..
What’s wrong with melee in dawn
no, it wasnt
u can't leave melee like boralus bosses
Ohhh I misunderstood
Why do most prot builds pick up a point in Cruel Strikes instead of, say, Endurance Training?
Yeah def don’t want to leave melee on that boss
either works
In raid version too
cruel strikes more damage, you dont really die as warrior anyways
but if u want endurance go for it
cause endurance training doesnt do a whole lot
Ah? Is it only base Stamina or something like that?
tbh this sentence is not true above 12 xd
i want to craft feet with emb i already have duskthread lining what should i put on it
no, we just dont need 5% stam at the cost of talent points
we are pretty undergeared for 12s and up
Do another duskthread I guess
does it stack?!
Yes
all embelishments stack
everytime I do a 12 from LFG I go in with the mindset of 'this is going to be a depleto' lol
Question for heroic silken court. The webs in p3, can you manipulate the tethers in a way to basically choose your web partner by standing near your partner before the suck?
yes
thats exactly how
wait no
im not particularly sure
for p1, its doable, but i'd imagine you already know that
Feel like it’s just random for the phase three tethers at least it feels that way
Yea for sure
not that i know of
I’ll be running in a couple hours, guess we’ll test it out and I’ll just let you all know lol
its random
Upgrade shield I guess
Should I craft a 636 weapon too?
What addon is this character panel
[WeakAuras: Gayseaotter-BleedingHollow - Chonky Character Sheet] https://wago.io/bRl2gJIgz/93
Tyty
yeah I was between belt back and boots
Don’t want back cuz u want the very rare cloak from raid
If I keep pumping 9s, I'll be able to get the 270 gilded crests to make 3 636 items
Yeah but may as well use some runed crests for a 619 or I guess upgrade armor
My main issue is I'm capped at 90 runed crests :/
yeah 619 boots and maybe 619 sacbrood and then 636 shield
Yah that is what i would do myself
Then work to get more gilded
Make weapon I guess ya
Is the talent that makes revenge cost 10 more rage but do 25% increased damage for colossus still a bait?
Oh didn’t realize you made a ring
I regret making the binding of binding because my healer friend in my guild baited me
said it was bis for them, and we were gonna make them together, then they changed their mind
so rip me 😄
luckily our embellishments are amazing
arent**
I mean the main issue with colossus is its rage economy is very tight as it is so making revenge cost more seems kinda tough in my in my opinion at least. Perhaps others may even use it not sure
its not really that toght
tight
you could simply to see the dam
if youre playing colossus ur not trying to push super high keys anyways
Can’t engineers use that
stg it was priest rogue and professions can use it
engi? really? okay, well its not a key, but we have a flamethrower in meadry
whatever patch that become key
that will be vital for keys no doubt
Yeah engineers activate that group has to stand nearby and get a damage buff
I just did my first dungeon as Prot.
It was Dawnbreaker
I hadn't yet setup my Skyriding bars...
Actually died after the first trash ship because I wasn't able to get back onto the Dawnbreaker
I got the shield off first boss in mythic --- is there any reason I wouldn't 6/6 upgrade this instead of crafting a shield?
It's 3 more il vers/mast (vers heavy)
no reason
Nice
Great, I thought so too so I really wanted to make sure I wasn't dumb
before spending all these gilded
You should be flexible in your crafts. The only reason the recommendation is to craft a shield if you don't get one early is because it's your biggest survival tool
full send it
But if you get a shield early, you should craft something else instead
course, I just wanted to be absolutely sure before I burned 60 gilded into it
u guys think its safe to keep gold in the warband bank
no idea tbh
im buying a 4th warbank tab soon though
really hoping they fucking fix using warbank mats on crafting orders bs
well, guess i gotta learn the funs of fort
crank 90s
so, i want to run threads again, that big bad beetle borg end of the dungeon clapped our group
someone said if i pull them at the same time, they overlap spells and i die
i dont understand why it dealt so much dmg
other nuances, if i taunt/ attack the obviously spy dude before it becomes attack monster
does it deal dmg to the red monster, gets threat on it, i dunno if it just goes back to 100% when it transform or takes 99% less
I think its on .5 notes
thank fucking god
hey sorry could i ask a annoying noob question which pretty much boils down to which of my trinkets are better? not played prot in ages
whatever sims best
dont embellish ring right
there doesnt seem to be the one i wanted for ring, so maybe when i did bracer
i mean im talking for m+ and i cant really sim defensive trinkets no?
pretty much between these 2 with my 2nd being arakara sack
silken weaver does like 5% of my healing in a key and then i cant really judge the other since it doesnt show as healing on details
i think you were here earlier and someone told you weaver
oh, well someone came in with that and something very similiar
weaver feels a little underwhelming which is why i wanted to ask but w/e
i also have behemoth but it sounds kinda ass for keys
theres no way to measure defensiveness
but weaver is better in every way
guys please read the guides
you can find a link here #protection-faq
in case you dont know how to access them via wowhead or icy-veins
yeah but the guide says swarmlord is C tier when majority of high key warriors are using it so it doesnt hurt to ask
we cant answer for "high key warriors"
also
high key 2nd week when RWF is running means absolutely jack shit
what did i end up recommending?
and what rank is it in the guide?
see the connection?
philosophical question
in old wow, the only question was "pls give bis list"
in modern wow, the two questions are "what stats good" and "what trinkets good"
does there exist a gear system that produces more interesting questions
Yes
no, people datamine the questions out of the game.

i mean devs intention for 2-3 expansions has been "ilvl > all" which is mostly what we default to, and theyve made that by making primary stat more valuable
so the result is
when an item has an effect, people need to ask about them
i totally need to learn the ins and outs of threads
cuz its got the everything that i want
yeah i guess my weird feelings about the current state is
so much of the discussion is around the "trinket" slot which is kind of a weird one for most games
and i dunno, is there a world where they could have more understandable effects where people don't just need mathematician robots to compare them
wow players give way too much importance to those 2 questions
but its mostly because wow players give too much importance to secondary stats and effects
sometimes the effects ARE strong
but most of the time, they arent
yeah... i think some of it is like
players assume "well, i must be playing perfectly, so how do i get stronger"
when obviously they could just be playing better
but also idk. should be fun to engage with a gear system I guess
btw there's an explanation to the right side of the rankings in the wowhead's guide that you can read if you havent seen it
but players also don't want to feel anxious about making the "wrong" choice
do you guys suggest crafting rings or neck if I have hero Belt&wrist?
no high keys are being done rn
craft whatever gives more dps or a shield
Shield is crafter
what wep enchant we running for keys?
How would I narrow down the amount of bloodsurge procs in a dungeon?
the only way I can even find bloodsurge in logs is to go to Resources tab and set it to rage
no idea, i dont see how that's important
all you care about is the rage intake anyway
I found it
🤷
Ok it's pretty easy
I'm curious because I want to know its value vs AoE Kick
if I'm running with only 2 melee kicks, shit gets hard real quick
as thane it doesnt really make a difference
we dropped it for it in DF without MT
anyway we could have answered that
but its good youre looking at it yourself
is there a reason you specifically need a count of procs instead of just total rage generated, which is immediately available? that seems like the more relevant number to me.
right, same thought i had
it was because I didn't know there was a dislay for flat rage gained from bloodsurge
personally i run disrupting shout. there are some pulls it enables to execute very conveniently
ohhh
so I thought I'd have to track it down by procs and x5 it
ok that makes sense
yeah otherwise I would never bother
but it's kinda whatever. play with it and without and make your own decision
if I know the raw rage gain, I need nothing else
iirc it's about 5% of my overall rage
maybe closer to 10%. I haven't looked specifically in a while
its gonna be slightly lower than DF sadly
because pulls are smaller
wait no its normalized
disregard that
mostly because of MT
personally don't think people should take disrupting unless they have some pretty specific ideas of where to get value from the multi-kick
think it's easy to overvalue a 90 second kick that also sorta takes away your ability to aoe taunt in an emergency
yeah well, i dont think we should have this discussion again
if they want it, they can pick it
i use it, except on certain dungeons
so i kinda see both sides of it, while i do lean to the "its overvalued" part
that being said i see less value using it in TWW keys
except for some very specific situations like web weavers etc
