Nope no ITF
that amout of haste makes me feel things
its still not too much
22,630
I think (hope) he meant macroing shield slam to ignore pain, not the other way around
again you probably have weapon oils / haste flask / haste food
What do you guys think about the meta thunder spec vs the not so meta collussus
The only reason you do this is so you cast shield slam any time you cast ignore pain
still need a naked shield slam bind
The macro is
/Cast shield slam
/Cast ignore pain
any shield crafter here >.> 636
both are viable
mountain thane is tankier
colossus can do illegal lvls of dps, but the rotation is awkward, and rage is more tight.
yeah he probably doesnt know how to use it
The point of this macro is to eat up any shield slam procs when you go to press ignore pain. If that’s your go to shield slam button, that will not work
I love hitting shield slams for over 3mil + colossus hitting for 5mil
Makes me feel strong
revenge spamming feels so cursed to me
but
the dopamine of funny big number is worth it
at least revenges hitting pretty hard
oh it fucking h i t s
now i wanna try that.
is barbaric training actually worth it
I agree with that. Revenge spamming does feel weird
Playing colossus on farm keys is so satisfying. U get close to some shit dps and they get very frustrated
I love it
i fele like i get close to shit dps no matter what tank or spec i play

you think more krit ore more vers? 😒 10 keys +-
i was in a fucking 10 gb with a windwalker doing like half my deathbringer all the way up to first boss
i wanted to die
I had a DH in a Siege 9 doing 700K overall. 617 ilv btw 🙂
I wonder why these high rated io started running into the fray already when they are only still at like 25-30% haste
how did you die??
he has to try really hard to die in there
Why people think playing DH is as easy as it was in legion. Most likely one of the hardest melees to play atm and very easy to die while playing it
kinda feels like the only way to do so is just jumping down without leaping to land or charging or using the slowfall things that the dungeon puts right in front of you
8%haste is 8%haste
i've watched two different havocs fel rush to their deaht
one right off the dawnbreaker on last boss
one right off the side in grim batol
Wouldnt u run into shield block uptime problems
If you dont have enough haste yet
Same. Spec is pretty hard but people want to play the funny demon guy
while i get that
i think the meta forms are fucking hideous
especially vdh lol
I was in 9 key with fdk, and he done 800k with aug in 619ilvl.
Fair
Just pugs🫠
DH does have very cool design
800k is more than enough for a 9
Yeah. That’s because the spec is very hard
Just play frost DK
Never die and do dmg with no effort
the fall with float takes too long
i want fall fast but float at ground
fucking called it
BUT YOU HAVE LEAP
i know, thats what i was attempting to do
i didnt align my self or remember the uh thing i landed on
Suddenly
no lol
Macroing shield slam and ignore pain together is war criminal behavior
Nah. It’s fun af
business as usual, vault day is about over
why
i just have it on e
Its the hardest by far
champ's bulwark already gives you an IP
why would you macro
IP to shield charge lmao
So what would be better?
/Cast ignore pain
/Cast shield slam?
Or /cast shield slam
And /cast ignore pain
Macro
I agree
the first one and it replaces your IP bind u still have a SS bind as well its just used to snipe SS reesets
i guess it makes no difference since youll gain rage with SC anyway
Spamming ignore pain was tiring my finger out
Have in a separate bind dude
yeah i guess its fine
So i macro it to some of my abilities
Put on scroll wheel
But macroing it to shield slam is crazy
i mean, technically, you are correct i hit the " " " ground " " " surfcace
Scroll wheel will never tire u
Is the talent for intervene giving the magic shield to allies any good? I know it’s going to be a lot of focus for probably little gain but I’ve been getting more worried about party survival than my survival with ilvls/exp?
Or is that whole talent noob bait?
Every button u spam on a spec, I use scroll wheel
Its alright
what are you trying to get out of this macro?
you still need shield slam bound separately.
the only macro that exists is putting shield slam on ignore pain specifically so you can instantly use your shield slam reset the exact moment it comes up while pressing ignore pain.
otherwise you press shield slam on its own, with or without the macro.
if your goal is to save button binds, it cannot be done
And intervene by itself has good use cases
And to be fair, i have played a lot of classes, prot warriors have a SHIT ton of buttons i need to bind
Compare to other specs that i used to play
i feel i actively press more on deathbringer than prot
When playing fury i have like less than 10 buttons
While prot i have like 20+ keybinds
On prot you have 3
And hella long CD buttons
I have a keybind of marking skull on caster mob too
Shield slam, t-clap, revenge, kick and ignore pain/shield block. You can kind of click the rest as needed no?
💀💀💀
Execute I guess
i still wouldn't click cast shit.
you just don't need to press them every 2 seconds
Starting fresh on Prot Warr
Got 2 sparks, what to craft first?
Shield+Wep or?
Only M+
there was a bear in some guild i was in in DF
or SL
clicking EVERY BUTTON
they exist
i promise
i know for fact, yet i cannot prove
We all know they exist
If it’s over a minute. Usually just click it ngl.
i had a bear co-tank in df
another one of my cursed cotanks
dude could not hold aggro to save his fucking life
and died constantly, i had to gtfo there
Try playing enhance. U rip so fucking often
Extra buttons that i need on prot compare to like fury: taunt, throw, intervene, shield wall, last stand, spell block, aoe taunt, marker skull macro
Had to find a key for all these spells when switching from fury
idk i've had zero problems with dps getting threat off me this season
I just gave up on pugging on my shaman. U hit back to back tempest and shit tanks will all let u die
what i have found that's really fun though
I’ve only had issues with DPS full sending CDs on random trash packs 1 sec in to the pull.
As prot warr if u literally hit thunderclap once u can probs afk for the next 5s and ur probs still have threat
was this warlock i had in a 10 SoB earlier
who full sent all cds before i was eve in melee rang eof trash lmfao
T-clap avatar t clap just owns aggro
Based
Why I like playing AFF. U have like 7 global of ramp, so u can’t pull aggro
i macro'd swarmlord to shield slam, why 1 min cds gotta be so awkward
i aint got enough buttons for this
We arent pulling out the healer click wheel yet. We are chilling.
Playing what spec?
there's always more keybinds
at least if the trinket was a 1.5 minute you could tie it to a cd
there's never a scenario where there isnt enough
destro
dude was full sending rof, and infernal while my bdk is waddling over
Skarmoraks on Ravager for me rn, i don’t care if it’s bad.
true but also i'm not trying to learn new keybinds or do some whacky alt or ctrl+ binds
Lmao
Ahh so I had it wrong this entire time
no
Is destro even good in m+? I guess they are all viable
Well that combo makes sense at least. I tie mine tk spear though. Generally use both together but spear buffs me so i stack the mastery buff too
arguably even worse
still waste rage
but you also waste shield block charges
Stop macroing everything together lol
I'll try out
/Ignore pain
/Shield slam
active mit caps at 3x the duration
It’s a 1.5 Cd lmaooooo
if you spam shield block for no reason you just waste the cd and rage
If u want macro like trinkets that line up with cds
im having a hard time finding pugs that can do gilded level keys. im now 2200+ and ive tanked a 10 successfully. i know im capable. but it is very hard to find dps and healers that can actually time. yall have any social cheat codes? or is it really just keep pugging all day
I'll just put my entire warrior protection rotation on 1 keybinds with my mouse keybinds hitting 10 clicks per button
Try and get a set group for it
Just put all buttons in one macro and spam it and hope for the best
yer have higher io and do 11-12s or be in a guild
all the good players are in 11s and higher now
for puggin at least
Start adding everyone that u think it’s decent
So what would you guys take between larynx and hook?
if you make your own party you can just invite all the meta 620+ ilvl high io players for 9s since they want gildeds
Both trinkets are very close in sims etc
someons got an ara ara key
Grim batol looking key
grim batol + pugging makes me want to go backt o palying league instead of walking into that hell hole
I feel like signing up as a DPS is basically being a male on dating apps
Can’t be SoB, that place has a special place in hell
At least it got nerfed
that dungeon has forced my dk's hand into going asphyxiate bc noone will cc enforcers in pugs lol
at least warrior has stun spam
Fair
i dont mind SoB if i can find a group that has a braincell.
worst thing about sob are tanking packs before the first boss
after that its so brain off for me
are enforcers the ogres that hit hard
yeah
are those dudes actually enraged can people dispel their enrage
so you just cc them for like 4 seconds
just spear them
overseer's are the ones that need dispelling
maybe when i enjoy spear.
But i also don't mind this key on prot warrior
i hate it more on bdk.
You can t-clip and wiggle back and forth over the pack, just don’t give them your back and they’ll lose atleast half their contact

i mean that works too but so does just stormbolting it
All them shaman cap totems racing the mobs to stun immunity 😦

you get shamans using their utility?
That’s more an issue for my personal comps than general pug stuff
i get shamans that spam healing surge and still do like 400k hps in a 10
I play w/ guildies. I wish they had more raw output to go with their good stops xd
i know restodruids are ass rn
but i prefer them bc that means they actually understand how to play their spec...
unlike last season
where every other restodruid was fotm who did like 50k dps if you're lucky
Ever since I saw augs get blindly invited to keys regardless of skill I’d rather take the high io/ilvl offmeta
time for my usual rant
about how augs are worse than devoker for any casual group key anyways
top player or not
thats why you dont invite augs
BUT BUT BUHJ BUHTH HJRBHUGNUVB BUT AUG SO OP I NEED IT
"+7 CHECKING LGOS, DON'T BE SHIT"
200 Io.
which is fine
i dont worry about if im inviting aug or dev, i just invite dragon
cuz healer dragon is still just healer
cuz i also figure that dps dragon will take the spec that suits whats needed
good yogi
Sometimes i have the perfect lineup for a juicy spell reflect then someone interrupt the mob 
Idk if i should be happy or sad
Did a grim batol with my fury friend and I’m getting my ass handed to me. And I “my spell reflect pad noo”
is there a list for useful intervenes in m+?
Dude I’m dying, I’m hitting stun
not needed, it works on all fixates
thats it
Do i have to be nearby intervene target for it to work
Or can intervene n fk off
i was only getting 3.90m reflects on shadow claw from rock men after boss 1 to boss 2, on +4 sv (farm for cloak and stones)then i remember its tyranical not fort.
Doesnt work on the expel leaps on mists trash :/
storm shield pog pog pog
i thought for a brief second they had nerfed my reflecting power on that spell
on fort same key lvl its a like 4.8 m reflect
but you want to be 10 yards from the guy on fixates, if they fucking run like an idiot chicken with its head cut off it wont do shit
Storm shield = 1.5milish?
It would be nice to have a list of good mechanics to intervene for M+ this season
sorry, still fairly new to warrior, what does intervene do with fixates?
Fixates melee a certain random not you player
so they can just stand there and dps while you take the hits
intervene redirects (melee) hits to you, fixate means they get hit (if they arent kiting)
So just fixate mechanics?
Intervene takes their melees from them
https://i.imgur.com/MDNrn1q.png
but this was not natural for me. you can intervene this everytime and its not a fixate
just saving them from not running
Ive saved so many ret pallies on stitch boss nw
?????
so it works on boss 1 siege for 1 melee correct
I thought it was going to like redirect the fixate I mean
Ya its not like some weird interaction
what
You let someone stay in contact and take the damage for them
Otherwise they’re running to narnia
yeah, that's awesome. didn't mean to diminish the importance of that
or just stand there and pump heals
but again
they have to be within 10 yards of you
have players gotten smart about take boss 1 siege to the bombs in 3 seconds instead of 15 seconds
if they keep running, they are dead
Does it work for fixate for first boss of SoB?
that depends on your key level :)
Cuz people cant kite
you need to tank adds as a tank
it makes no difference in that fight
you dont take the fixate from them
just meant I thought you were saying it was like redirecting the fixate or something. that's what I meant by 'special'
if someones gonna get melee swung then it works, no tricks here
they still need to steer it to bombs
Ya the way they worded it made me think i was missing some secret tech too i get it
I mean there’s tanking damage for someone else, and then there’s just tanking extra damage period. Probably not worth. Maybe buy someone half a second to realize they’re fixated then continue as normal
exactly, this
PSA the circles without swirlies spawn the bombs on SoB
alot of boss 1's in keys are noob filters, i wont lie
they just do really simple deadly things
and it kills anyone new
What does the block stat do on shields? I mean, I understand it blocks of course, but does it block a flat number? Just because there is also the stat in the stat sheet which says block chance is x% then it says block reduced damage of an attack by x% as well. Which is it? The block number on the shield? Or the block % on the stat?
i've had two keys ina row end up with an evoker and shaman dead to boss fixate
so no
block on shields isnt block chance
block chance is irrelevant
because Shield Block gives you 100% chance
some of them are genuinely not easy
I healed stonevault on my undergeared disc yesterday and first boss took like 5 pulls
@lusty grotto I mean this, not the block chance but the text underneath.
I mean while yes
in a +10 i prob shouldnt have to tell them that before pull lmfao
it hits real hard especially if people blow up too many spikes at once
where K is a constant we call the K Value
player getting fixate should use thier movement speed abilities then
which changes between content and seasons
ya theres some hard first bosses this season, no doubt
Ok so block is just a stat then that gives more % reduction the higher it is?
alright dude nvm i guess
sure, you can see it that way
not dispelling
nothings hard were just bad
cuz there are bosses that wont tricky ricky kill youi like boss 1 siege
as seen in the formula
but they will simply numbers you to death
but generally we recommend ilvl > all on shields first and foremost because of that block value (or stat) on shields
the higher the ilvl of the shield
the higher that block value will be
that's why when comparing shields, you should ALWAYS use the higher ilvl one
or higher track
everytime you wipe to something a bunch, put it as note in the MDT route
myth being the highest
once you figure out the root causes and solutions to those problems
if walking away from boss, or not stacking on players for dispels on orator
or filling the middle of dawnbreaker with massive ass aoe's
etc etc are hard then uh...
i just dunno what to say
Mountain Thane: Ilvl > Haste -> Crit
why is crit better for mountain thane?
it's useful on more than just fixates
we're talking about strictly fixates
not storm shield
keep up with the context please
people make mistakes, some bosses are numerically a lot harder or much more mistake prone or have a smaller margin for error than others
share some tricks pls. i remember in shadowlands that first boss in NW would oneshot people on the frontal even with a defensive. intervene negates that mechanic
I can describe a mechanic on any boss as "just do ___" and call it easy but thats not really an accurate view of how dungeons play out
the first boss reflect was already mentioned
Damage
Not storm shield either. The intervene itself is useful on more than just fixates.
guys there is no need for this type of language! yall are all over 45 years old. remember
You said "fixates. That's it." This is not correct. There are more use cases than that, independent of storm shield.
I saw. Irrelevant. Go rage somewhere else.
I'm also in all tank discords

yikes
share other useful intervenes pls instead of just shitting on someone
hi. as far as i know ppl dont tank swap at silken court heroic i wanna know is there any tips and tricks to deal with piercing strikes of anub arash? last time i did it with guild we killed the boss but i died two times to heavy damage of piercing strikes i checked one of them hit around 11m tho i kinda think its maybe some kinda gearcheck fight like boss goes to phase just in time so you can drop the debuff.
Two examples off the top of my head: 1st boss NW retch. Shoots from archers in siege.
I changed sudden death to more revenge dmg yesterday feels mega bad sadge pepego

so if you feel like its great to Ackchually like an idiot, i dont think its necessary
but you do you
Nobody wants to read this argument btw
so block it
I want to
I didn't shit on him at all, though he shit on me. I just added more useful examples.
It’s my favourite argument ever made
thanks
it also intervenes throw flesh casts in nw
and shooters in siege...
Idk there's no reason not to swap. It's kinda weird to try and not swap if your having trouble
Wich one to take guys...
dude
Our tanks swapped a couple times as needed, probably depends on your classes too. Just do what it takes to kill the boss yknow?
Finger von Throngus sounds sooo much better than the English version
Generally any ranged shoot type ability will work, and it's common for them to double up and 1 shot people
Finger Von Throngus is a crazy fucking name
oh 😄
wait until you learn how warlocks are called in german
please share
Tanks do like nothing on court heroic anyway
intervene works on any physical hit, they were asking about specific abilities, if you want to clarify for it, we can start naming stuff you could in the past so that they understand how it works, how FH captains needed to be interveneable in high tyrannical during BFA
hexenmeister
etc
lmaooo
of course. That's amazing
so of course, it works on throw flesh and arrow shots
yeah it make sense ty
I see the word “meister” a lot in German language, does it have a meaning?
Master
and it worked on hunter shots in BH, and it worked on fixates on Fenryr, and it worked on fixates throughout DH
I think it means Gay but not sure
and it worked on fixates in treemouth
💀
They asked for a list. You said it doesn't't matter. "All fixates. That's it". This is incorrect. I pointed this out and added some additional examples, which actually answers the question. Dunno why you're raging.
You can try to preplan and rotate your CDs better but theres only so many buttons you can press sometimes, depends on gear and externals and if you have aug scales/earth shield/etc etc too of course, lots of factors
bravo
dont reply to me
Lol whats going on
why are wow players so socially awkward
So i take Raid trinket? Oo
Ya this is actually wild
how is this argument a thing XDDDDDDDDD
you have no other options?
Raid trinket is better
dont reply to me he says lmaoooooooooooooo
😄
not really no
thanks for everybody who helped me tho
There is a block feature if you really dont like someone 
hes working with that barren chest have mercy on him
Just typical nimchip rage. He gets mad when shown to be wrong.

lets move on boys
How do i fix the duskthread lining bug? does it not stack?
reset the buff
I can socket crafted item right?
just go below 80% hp
ty
and it'll fix itself
with thingy from vault
Yes they'll stay
gotta decide
What’s your favourite strain of weed?
I don't smoke anymore.
blue crayons
Don't reply to me.
Mwahi effectively agreed with me. Nome just threw empty personal attacks with no rebuttal.
I mean. U said one example it was already said and then u said it also works on shoots in siege. Not sure if adding one example classifies as a list
I don't have a list. Rather than saying "your question is stupid go away" I added the examples I had off the top of my head.
I like Lyranx, especially cause belt is a craft slot
unless you looking at bracers/cloak craft

I have a socketed hc belt
THinking about picking a socket and crafting bracers
mwahi def didnt agree with you
to socket those bracers
Idk just feels weird u are saying someone is wrong because u said what it was already said. Feels like u dropped in the conversation just to try to say he was wrong. New on the discord, but that is what it seems like based on your message
I mean, Lyranx is pretty cool
but it is what it is
what you rocking trinket wise?
I didn't know its getting buffed
whatever makes him feel better, if hes gonna go into every single tank discord and bitch about "their states", that catches on
I've only ever posted in 2 discords...
Lyranx is up there in power
Before buffs which I didn't check yeat larynx 939 was the same dps as broodsac
639*
now take bloodmallet with a grain of salt, but it is nice for a reference point
Really? U know by how much?
Mwahi said I was correct about rage and shield block uptime, but (incorrectly imo) claimed you'd need to hold shield charge. You do not. So...
I think you have decnet options
I feel like socket this week would be a waste
even myth track belt would be a better long term investment then just sockie
but thats me
yeah i agree
If you think I'm factually incorrect about something feel free to say where and why. Personal attacks are not rebuttals.
socket is just a choice if you only have hero loot in vault and can push higher
ive been done for a while

Guys I'm still salty I picked myth track of the bugged 1h weapon with less strength
Make blizz fix it
I mean if you intend to mythic raid, just take the item with the biggest ilvl boost to save as many crests as possible
Gear will eventually fall into your lap for valourstone upgrades*
Blizzard cannot even finish maintenance in time for the past 3 weeks
yeah i think that's Augusto's point
at least actually read what was said if you're going to keep talking. They said "Using SC as a "let me keep SB" up CD means you are going to be sitting on it..a lot."
meaning you don't ever play SC for SB uptime
That's exactly my point. You don't need to sit on it. Just send it. SB stacks.
Zug zug brain if CD available click it
up to a cap, sure. which means you can't assume that you're always getting the full duration SB uptime out of the button press in your arguments in the past
whereas with bolster, you do
It stacks 3x duration. You'd need to SB twice insta, followed by multiple SS back to back, to make SC over cap you.
I do wonder when the first couple of bosses on mythic will be puggable
first is kind of a pain though
Just don't send multiple SB back to back and you cannot over cap SB ever.
we've had a couple of people pugging them
at least i remember a few people mentioning it
I feel like if you can get through 1st and 2nd
3rd and 4th arent that big of a step up
ive been bringing my warrior for Rasha reclear now
its night and day how much better it is compared to BDK
ah, right, thank you for explaining how shield block works. doesn't change anything about what Mwahi, myself, or others have said
How so? You cannot over cap SB with SC unless you first burn all your SBs for no reason. Just don't send 2x SB. Go SC SB and sit on the remaining SB charge. Why is this wrong?
yo, this convo is giving up sus vibes; no cap, straight ohio rizz
You don't need to hold SC to prevent overcapping. You can just send it.
Ultimately, SC + bulwark gives more rage, more shield block, and more prio damage than ravager + bolster.
okay I think maybe I missed some context to this argument
The context is what to drop for BSV if you want it. SC + bulwark or ravager + bolster. The current rec from this discord is to take ravager + bolster, and I am arguing this is worse for the above reasons.
How so?
all has same damage
No
yes very similar
the tank dot
taking two stacks on warrior
we chillin
take two stacks on BDK....
which dot
fighting for my life
I thought... BDK was supposed to be stonks against somekind of dots?
that tank buster fucking shatters bdk
It’s based on the initial damage taken
the dot strength is based on damage taken
so I can force myself to live
Aaaah....
I take 10% of the phys he does post ip
with lots of death strikes
just pop defensive
yeah well sure we only take super little damage
He can press his entire kit and that’s just ip plus d stance lol
^
kek
Less actually
also, the movement
ahhh the slowass tank yeah ask druid to roar so you can run or warlock gate
bear and warrior are god on that fight
dw, just throw them on mythic broodtwister beforehand
I can gate and leap on war
holy shit broodtwister is so ass of a fight
hear me out
I haven't try the heroic, we just kill ky'veza but continue next sunday on this boss.
but good thing I have both
im eating all the blue crayons with this one
cycle a sikrans to give you the F A T move speed boost before boss flies away
Prot is good i wonder why its not used even once in RWF
i guess no good utility
big brain
because they already have warriors
if fury or arms were garbage, you would see a lot more prot warriors in RWF
due to battle shout
they needed druid and monk buff
Mark of the wild is so OP huh
and double fury was stonks
Because bear was the only playable Druid in raid but warrior had good dps to bring
its not whether its op or not
its that they need to fill all buffs
Echo played boomkin
and thats why naowh played prot pally
honestly.... I wish it wasnt needed
broodtwister is a prison
of pain
with tanks balanced, you pick whichever tank brings the buff you're missing
thats it

Warrior dmg profile was also great in raid
Even prot pally?
i don't mind diff specs being strong for diff fights
biased though ig
but bdk is only good on brood bc of how utterly dogshit broodtwister is

And u can play arms for the ST fights
BDKs being useful due to grips, but on Queen you actually do not want a BDK gripping
prot pally can help yes
slappyhands is off the bars in p3
spellwarding, etc
Fury was crazy good on brood and spider lady
freedoms
And that was after nerfs
Prot Paladin is also cool cause you can freedom webs in p1
Give warrior more utility 
and interrupts p3 maybe?
not watching a frost dk grip the stunny freezy fox bastard in on the party in a mists...
tbf
but I dont think people wanna play Prot Paladin yet
i can also just wraith walk myself out of webs
That is my favorite, honestly
I think once the .5 patch comes around people's opinions on it will change
Let the fury warriors pad their meters dude
I used to be a paladin enjoyer
but df said no
then tww said no
then hero talents said no
so i will not touch that god forsaken class
even with the patch
Ret is pretty good no?
yes
but it doesnt have spellwarding
and you dont want a ret dropping WoGs
thats a damage loss
templar makes me want to vomit
and lightsmith is still lame
The problem with ret paladin is then people expect you to freedom,sac,bop people
Couldn’t be me I’m Zuggin
the problem with ret paladin is i hate dpsing

Surprise Veng is still really good after such heavy nerfs since DF
Their sigils got gutted
THE ANNEURYSM ITS COMING, AAA
cc was only part of the picture for vdh meta
even if reduced to 3%
if u took out vdh dps, chaos brand, mobility, and self healing
but slapped its cc onto a tank spec
that tank spec owuld not have magically been meta
VDH could solo perma cc a pack for a good 15s i swear in DF haha
Literally happened last night to me on a 7, right as boss was close to dead. Was the green ghost hands thing.
thats not why they were meta
SLAAPPY HAAANDS
feels real bad as a bdk on that fight
but then again, i also get to laugh when i do guild runs with my healer
i love amsing patty cake so i can terrify anyone im in vc with
ITS TECHNICALLY A DPS INCREASE TO NOT INTERRUPT IT
Chaos brand was a nice bonus for the mage Aug in the group but the main reason VDH was meta is because they could completely solo CC a pull and remove the brain load on other party members
no one thing made vdh meta
Shit was OP af
no
if vdh had only one aspect of its kit it wouldn't have been meta
strong player for sure, but meta is overselling it
vdh was meta for a lot of things, not just 1 thing
uncapped damage
chaos brand for the SP
no
So whats the main reason
stops dont matter as much when packs last long
there's no main reason
its a combination of them
They matter more
Cuz literally everyone said unless blizzard changes how mob casting work, VDH will be forever meta, which blizzard literally did
And then also nerf their sigils
No because it can’t live anymore
its defensiveness didnt change
It’s CC did
people are def playing VDH, there are some in top 30 keys even
brew, its cc was for the party living, not the vdh itself
True yes
they are playing it
i was making a hyperbole
but we'll see in a month of two
and I am fun at parties 😄
I still think we are up for another class tuning
I think the meta tank will most likely be bears
Been seeing all top tier group runnning: Bear - Res Shaman - DK - Mage - Aug
I've seen some warrior + boomking as well @high wyvern
yes augusto thats what exaggerating means when i ask "are people playing VDH?" smh my head
Just won’t be meta
Burnout on VDH has to be a factor as well. Being allowed to ONLY play that sucks. Tanks can have fun on other specs now
tanks were all fine in DF
people just hard focused on the meta
its not a now thing
vegan kept pushing as bear
sense and others kept pushing as prot
VDH was giga busted come on
andy kept pushing as prot pally
this season none of the tanks are busted, agree?
Warr, bear are good, but not insane or anything
I mean if ur an insane players anything can works, but theres a reason no one play anything but VDH for 1 year straight in MDI / TGP
no tanks were busted in DF, VDH just fit better
yes because SP was broken and you need chaos brand
to buff them
Prot Pali needs love. VDH kinda mid. The rest have niche places where they do well.
picking VDH meant, you buff your godlike dps class, and you have all of the tools available to perform
when its not SP, it was mage, and vice versa
dk wasnt meta in DF
hi guys, is there anywhere here i could check better embellishments for m+?
well yeh, I meant mage and aug I guess 😄
When hasnt Mage been meta 
Cant remember a season where Mage wasnt meta or at least A tier
BFA
Believe it or not mage has a high skill cap
until S4 i guess
That’s why you rarely see one that performs like the ones on the rwf streams
Isnt arcane kinda tricky to play compare to other dps specs
Me as fury press buttons that lights up 
arcane is easier now though
i've yet to see a mage perform at a 'mid' level
do you see a lot of arcanes? I've been mostly seeing frost
easier than previous iterations at least
Frost is pretty easy tho
fotm specs ftw whooOOOO
Yeah I’m a glowy button spec enjoyer myself
What’s “mid” level?

i mean easy compared to its own iterations, not versus other mage specs
idk what is mid
You cant watch Firedup POV and expect all mage to be like that
frost has been the easiest one to play for a while
idek who the fuck firedup is
out of the 3
i just except my dps to not tie me in dps, and/or fail to use cc/personals

which mages, as many flavour of the month classes, consistently fail to do
GOAT mage
imfiredup is liquid's mage
if you ever watch Max's stream during the race, youll watch his gameplay
he's so god damn clean
I just watch the pretty colours fly around until boss dies in race and go on with my day
This man has every mechanics and assignments in the world and still top dps somehow
maybe grab some crayons to munch on on the side
imfiredup is a joy to watch play
and he has played arcane on some tiers where arcane was garbage
and I dont even play mage
Theres a clip of some insane plays in sepulche
But he doesnt really do M+
Only raid i think
he could M+ if he wanted to

This movement was still crazy
I could bang Erga’s mom if I wanted to
bet you could; you got that Skibiddi Rizz
for real, no cap
Feel like a boomer but wtf is skibidi riz
Can you sim tank? Or is DPS sim good enough?
guys sidewinder kinda sucks does it atleast give me more rage?
if not im thinking of just not ujsing it for keys
you can just sim for dps
what the hell is sidwinder
Is this trinket any good? got pretty crapy choises from vaut
this might be a translation thing, what is sidewinder?
Is skibidi dance like the fortnite dance
it's just free damage
Imfiredup castle nathria plays were nutty too
i guess ya
yeah it's barely anything but you gotta put something there
the dmg is so low
it has something to do with a toilet
I dont understand the context though

we cannot possibly explain skidibi toilet here, search it on youtube if you want to learn this generation's brainrot
My generation was TrollFace
What would you pick ?
Any clips i didnt follow the race then
Google artificer xymox imfiredup
those are some good options... Id prob take Shard?
but maybe sim
the other two pieces are just mythic tier
but Shard is pretty good
He does like 2 or 3 seeds in one play lol
Like his alter time play is fucking nuts lol
Hahaha
Hes the GOAT of shit post
it not shit posting if hes right 😉

hello gamers
You can catalyze any mythic shoulder or leg into tier in future vaults. You can only get that trinket in 1/x rolls.
you guys also experiencing a bug where if you shield charge in the middle of a normal charge, the shield charge only goes partly off?
that happens if you have obstacles
i get shield block from champions bulwark, but no rage from shield charge and no dmage
or z-axis changes
seems to happen every time for me unless i hold my shield charge till the end of the animation of charge
most of us use it a melee range already so its not something we notice, but it has been talked about here since DF
we dont use shield charge to charge
or as a gap closer
i see
but yes, it happens
it just seems like the best way to engage when you have 0 rage, cause charge itself is not enough to get shield block up
like i mentioned, its been talked about in the past
any good demolish makro out ther
ideally you want to avatar + charge, and thats enough for SB, if chain pulling you will have left over rage anyway
we just prio SC after damage buffs and debuffs are out
like avatar + demo
Really want to grab disrupting shout but i cant let go of bloodsurge 
not using dark mode is the real problem here
its not a huge loss
so play whichever you need
i'll send a bug report and hope for a fix, but in the meantime i guess i gotta git gut🤷🏿♂️
What are you guys using as talents for this weeks affix? Wrecking?
no
no changes to talents
but if you feel that you need it, you can drop sidearm for it i guess
in wanted to makro demolish with TR but it dosnt really work
ah okay thanks for that info
so no good thing to macro it into or maybe into shout?
no
😢
Especially because of the CDR you don't really want to macro it in to anything regardless of if its on a gcd or not
i'm not sure why you'd want to macro demolish into something else even if it was possible, don't want to be rooted in place by surprise
anyone else having troubles in stonevault on skarmorak? affix give him reduced damage while shield phase, very hard to break
im on +9 now, frekin impossible
wiped before first boss on tyranical only somehow, and left at least 1 mole hill alive each spawn on the boss
it could have been i didnt let healer have mana, but i high doubt that
since we had shaman, so i assume tremor totem (not a shaman main dunno if its in thier main tree), and we got feared, is how wiped
it's so fucked lol
isn't generally stonevault... not a pleasant dungeon?
nah it's chill
what would be ideally to pick here? i already got the scarab trinket on LFR - and i crafted a shield ilvl 619.
is it worth to potentially waste that spark and pick the myth shield becuase its higher ilvl in the long end?
yeah prob what im gonna do
can u make crafted gear into tier?
assistance here would be greatly appreciated 🙂 got sac and shard on hero track already for trinkets. should i switch to either one of those?
I don't think so prom, but I could be wrong
I don't think you should switch but sim both ring first and the queen mandate.
did u get that from a prot open?
in anycase both ring are bad and you don't really like queen mandate then take socketing.
That trink is DPS only..
saw it on wowhead, simmed it but queen only came out on top in single target obv but not by a large margin, rings were never picked, neither on single nor on multi target
no i opened on arms so i would have a chance on queen 😄
well there you go if you aim queen then take it
I mean you basically got what you want. Can always make it Sac+queen for single target and Sac+shard for multi

Is 636 Mark of Khardros really... Only a 4k increase... or is the SIM using it incorrectly?
Just quickly simming it in the correct slot as I suspect that may be it.
for the most part is just gets cleaved..
yeah uhuh
go and "just cleave" a 32mil HP mob which applies a dmg reduction to everything around you
🙂
EZ
Also the buff it gives is garbage
that mob alone ate 813mil of our dmg by just existing in the key
I could use the tier shoulders to get my 4p bonus, replacing champion track shoulders.
But I get the feeling a hero track trinket is a better choice... now which one ?
O.o zhe affix is crazy shit ? :d
20% cdr on 20 seconds is 4 seconds of cdr
6.5k in the correct slot. That looks more reasonable. 😂
its turbo shit
After 20 seconds
what about macro for auto target healer with my intervene
also its 50% CDR now
its the play to nuke down?
Ob is it?
you have to nuke it down
9&
i dont get hardly near enouh value from storm shield
re-clear heroic again
jesus
or is intervene meant to be used on different people each time
and see if you get shoulders
it provides more than 0 value
its a 450k absorb
right, no im not doubting that
yo nome
yo nim
- uihhh i cant recall the name but the first boss does it they go right aggro on the player instead immune to taunt shit
ED / HR / SoF colossus a good call for keys?
yes
or just full on exe
and then the block
cause i played full on exe and i forgot that i had it and oof
last week i actually swapped back to HR instead of ITF
cuz i had SO MUCH BLOCK DOWNTIME
cuz of missing haste affix
punish also since not executing
correct
im not downplaying stormshield / intervene im saying is it good idea to just do that on healer so i can just send in on cd
or is this like warcrime
whoever is getting blasted
aight im gonna send another key and see
It feels a little clunky compared to Thane.
i enjoy colossus
BUT
do not play it in siege or grimbatol
basically keys where theres alot of unblockable damage
you dont wanna play colossus
colossus is good in ara kara or mists
but in siege it was painful
i did almost 1mil overall but i didnt feel comfortable ngl
ah
ok i wasnt far off at all
Pretty new tank noobie here, got the delve shield it looks very shitty or is it good compared to a equal ilvl shield?
if its your highest ilvl its usable
