cosmic canyon
#

it was just a dungeon where I wanted to show you sb uptime with itf being there all the time

jagged pier
#

not blocked hits

#

this shows nothing

cosmic canyon
#

if you want to play around it, making sure not to take small hits to the back, that's up to you

jagged pier
#

but its not there all the time

#

if it was u would be at 95% +

mellow quartz
#

to be fair his log shows a SB uptime of 95% and 95% active

#

unblocked hits can just be smallies you dont care about grouping up

jagged pier
#

but that not what he claimed yesterday aly

mellow quartz
#

mine with HR

cosmic canyon
#

I was just making a random dungeon to share the sb uptime

jagged pier
#

thats bad 👀

mellow quartz
#

thats from a 12 AK I just did most are from setting up shit

jagged pier
#

i asked u to provide data to prove yur said of the conversation

#

thats what i was asking for

#

i u havent provided anything

cosmic canyon
#

Just stop it

#

drop this topic

#

What is the point you're trying to make?

toxic pewter
#

Not really toxic to ask for proof and then discuss the proof though

warm plinth
#

Genuine question

edgy bone
#

How can you say no need when shockwave and fear are two different DRs? If you're in a group with multiple AoE stuns doesn't that make intim shout even more valuable?

strong forum
#

how can you be so adamant about a flex point

edgy bone
#

I'm just asking

#

Don't get defensive

#

You're a great player and I know you're better than me

#

Just wanted to pick your brain

#

I don't have the knowledge or experience you do and I'm genuinely interested in hearing your thought process

feral gulch
#

I take every cc as well as aoe interrupt because i dont trust anyone

strong forum
#

fear is target capped to 5 targets + main target

toxic pewter
#

No one’s even defensive lol wtf is going on in here.. you’re projecting hard

mellow quartz
#

I use intim shout all the time

strong forum
#

so it rarely does what you want in most keys

#

i dont use it at all cuz i dont have the point for it

edgy bone
#

Because you'd need both points in intim shout to make it worth it, to make it uncapped?

cosmic canyon
toxic pewter
#

No one uses that talent

violet ginkgo
mellow quartz
strong forum
#

my builds are on wowhead

edgy bone
#

Because I can give up the thunderclap talent and the improved shockwave

mellow quartz
#

crackling thunder is the best talent

violet ginkgo
#

you can't give up TC talent, the AOE is nice for mythic

jagged pier
# warm plinth What is the point you're trying to make?

his point was all the top ppl are using ITF on murlockio and droping other weird talents to take BSV so they must be right, then said it was more defensive than HR or implied it. said he got 98% blocked hits with ITF. All i asked for was a log showing it that wasnt dawnbreaker because dawnbreaker that is achieveable as everyhting casts. he then showed a details screenshot. so i again asked for logs. hes not just provided this to and when i noted the blocked hits hes goen yer will i wasnt really trying it was a 9?

edgy bone
mellow quartz
#

the TC improved slow/range

#

OP as hell in AK for example

#

SV

#

City

toxic pewter
#

Crackling thunder just solid quality of life talent

mellow quartz
#

slow for kiting

warm plinth
#

Well if all the top people are using it 😏

edgy bone
#

What if you're playing with a rogue and monk who have everything snared 80% anyway

#

I'm just curious thats all

mellow quartz
#

if you never need it then whatever

warm plinth
#

The radius is why I like crackling

mellow quartz
#

like all the spiders in AK that blow up you can hit them from outside the range and slowly kite

warm plinth
#

idc about the slow tbh

#

just a perk

violet ginkgo
#

I'll add Grim Batol too @mellow quartz 3rd boss where is add spawn and it spawn near you, almost get insta slowed so give teammate more time.

mellow quartz
#

40% slow is just super nice and useful in so many situations

#

is it needed, no

warm plinth
#

I want Jakey as a talent

#

+1,000 cuteness

strong forum
#

the increased range on TC

jagged pier
strong forum
#

is incredibly useful to gather packs in these dungeons

pallid quiver
#

10/10 agree, even though I don't rock crackling myself

warm plinth
#

D:

jagged pier
#

crackling goated

pallid quiver
#

I just really don't like heavier slows being a part of my base rotation on average

warm plinth
#

D:

jagged pier
#

goated on pack in SV that stacks the damage taken

pallid quiver
#

There's also the side note that one of my friends I play with often mains frost mage, so things are forever snared anyway

#

So I'm mostly missing the extra range, which I do miss

jagged pier
#

eurgh

#

frost

pallid quiver
#

He used to play Arcane waaaay back in Wrath-ish time frame,

#

but then they made it harder than press one button

#

So it became too difficult of a spec to play for him

I'd say shots fired, but that's an extra button.

pallid quiver
#

bruh, zekvir, that was rude, i'm just trying to gear up an alt

#

then he jumps me while i'm in a corner, surrounded by slow webs, with a scarab lord on my face

jagged pier
#

yer he does that

pallid quiver
#

I've had him jump me before, but not that bad

#

at least i got a weapon for resto druid for me efforts

toxic pewter
#

Is he killable when he appears

jagged pier
warm plinth
#

Because he's a lil bitch

toxic pewter
#

Ok just was curious if you can go crazy and if it’s possible to somehow kill him

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, and if you drop him to 50, he drops items and equips

#

hence the resto wep I got

#

unrelated to your loot spec, since i'm in feral loot spec atm

holy shit yap central today what the fuck

always is

pallid quiver
#

zealous goblet
#

and like, two arguments?

#

time to start anudda one

#

"hey i want to take bsv do i drop ravager"

jagged pier
zealous goblet
#

oh, actually i had one question

pallid quiver
#

no, questions banned

zealous goblet
#

it's extremely suboptimal, but i tried

#

oh

#

mb

pallid quiver
#

But we're rule breakers here, so do it

zealous goblet
#

wait nvm im shitposter golden child

#

so

#

my healer friend begged me to run bsv

#

and told me to drop ravager

#

so as a compromise i did what i was supposed to do, and took bolster and bsv

pallid quiver
#

Ask him why he wants to heal parse so bad

zealous goblet
#

and dropped shield charge

tribal wharf
#

i heard 40% versa or im shit

zealous goblet
#

new problem: i'm addicted to bolster giving me shield block for 40 seconds and i'd like to ride the high for awhile

#

but i don't care much for bsv

#

where should i reallocate that point to?

pallid quiver
jagged pier
#

whereever u want

#

disrupting shout, integate, unerving focus

#

probably unerving focus

zealous goblet
#

i saw the 36 second duration and my monkey neurons fired off

jagged pier
#

or instegate

zealous goblet
#

like fucking crazy

#

i was thinking 2nd ravager use but wasn't too sure

jagged pier
#

i mena just play HR and be capped at 24 seconds all the time

jagged pier
zealous goblet
tribal wharf
#

"how much vers and haste do i need to not shield block?????????????????????????????"

#

im trying to find the illegal question

zealous goblet
tribal wharf
#

sure

jagged pier
#

i would suggest red one but the other 3 is fine

pallid quiver
jagged pier
#

just use SC as a stop i guess

tribal wharf
#

u need 1 more% haste to get 40 from 31 with itf

#

but thats whats important, is that itf brings u to 40

warm plinth
#

Eh?

tribal wharf
#

so, i need 2% more my self

zealous goblet
#

true!

warm plinth
#

You need 35-40% haste BEFORE ItF to run ItF

zealous goblet
#

ye hes shitposting with me

#

i think

pallid quiver
#

Yogi's on the mega shit-post juice out of nowhere

#

Oh god, that's not good

nono u need itf to bring u TO itf.... i cracked the code...

#

who me? nah im legit given scatter options if he wants to play those talents

cosmic canyon
#

maybe you can help me jakey how to 'reach' the block amount you linked in a snip earlier

jagged pier
#

he already knows its suboptimal but so thats fine

works for spell blockable spells as well

Anyone got advice for 3rd pull of sob, g12 & g13 - just feels like im getting fucking deleted here & not sure if its a healer issue or my issue. Unfortunately no logs :/ - frrom details its singing steel that's mostly chunking me & healers just can't seem to keep up.

if your over 20% haste is there any reason to run HR other than just being lazy?

we had a dragon and a mage in that run i just did

they didnt lust on first boss till like 70% after i remind them

i figured, okay, we got 2 lusters, no problem

#

wouldnt our best filler ability be devastate if we just didnt take devastator

#

god im so smart

tribal wharf
#

so, machinists in SV, you guys do that second? because?

#

im trying to figure that out, and then, im just supposed to like, tank them middle? or by the vent always

#

you do it second because skarmorak you need the lust after? cuz he kills group? i dont get it

zealous goblet
#

wait im so confused now

#

are you shitposting still

tribal wharf
#

after you kill first boss

#

why do you do the machinists second

zealous goblet
#

i don't

#

i go right to skarm

tribal wharf
#

oh hmmmm i thought the pro way was to do machinists first

mellow quartz
#

doesn't really matter which one you do 2nd tbh

zealous goblet
#

force skarm 2nd always so you can figure out if you're depleting asap

mellow quartz
zealous goblet
#

even with lust out of the equation

#

some groups are

#

ooh mma

#

mama

mellow quartz
#

skarm is easy

#

wipe more to trash lol

zealous goblet
#

you'd thiink so

#

but then you're in a group that leaves like 3 crystals alive

#

and doesnt wanna hit emissary

mellow quartz
#

things dont hurt much in sub 12's anyway

zealous goblet
#

wouldn't know havent made it there yet

#

i push with friends

#

we at 10/11s rn

#

we had to pug some interesting healers though

#

you guys ever fight 4th boss of SV functionally without a healer?

#

this guy didn't know how the portals worked and ate all our brezzes despite having like, an 8 done

tribal wharf
#

sometimes bosses die before they can actually do anything

#

just gets destroyed by dps beam

zealous goblet

plausible, but hard to imagine in a pure pug setting

I have 600 in a 12 AK

sweet summit
#

i'm no expert but 55SB casts is not 24 mintues

#

so i don't think that's accurate

#

i think it's casts without the buff already aka not including refreshes

dark cosmos
#

Correct I believe

#

(details not counting reapps that is)

it has a separate column i think?

right now it's just a guessing game

nah it wasnt logged

dark cosmos

But are you taking that damage while you have SB up?

neat parrot
#

i take it trough SB Demo ip

dark cosmos

Then you gotta pop CDs or there a debuff or something you should be kiting/clearing

#

No much else to it yknow

might be interrupts that dps are not doing it might be tons of thinngs but i was wondering if its just me or anyone else experiencing it

vale karma
#

Does anyone one know how the cooldown reduction from Xalatesh buff work?

lofty warren
#

it increased the rate your cds go down

#

so if something is 10 sec CD and you get 50% then it goes to.. 5 sec? something like that

vale karma
#

So it halfs the cd for 20 second and then reverts to full amount while keeping the new remaining %?

mellow quartz
lofty warren
#

yea when the CDR buff is gone then it goes back to normal CDR.. like if there is 5 sec left on your CD and buff goes away then you have to wait 5 sec

dark cosmos

it just doesnt affect a huge number of prot skklls though, just incase youre understandably gigaconfused

warm barn
vast tangle
lusty grotto
#

people are playing us because we buff the FDK

#

thats how the meta goes

#

when all tanks are viable

#

you pick the one tank that buffs the 2 strongest dps

drowsy scarab
#

isnt 90% of the dmg fdk do magical so dh tank would buff it more?

lusty grotto
#

see VDH buffing SPs

#

no

#

youre wrong

#

and AP buff is way stronger than chaos brand

#

specifically for FDK

#

if you can factor chaos brand in, while keeping battle shout, its even better, but you cant

#

so mage fdk aug

#

especially after the nerf to chaos brand

#

mage buffs himself and heals with AI

#

does great damage

#

warrior buffs himself and FDK

#

the meta was never about "being busted" for tanks specifically, that hasn't happened since DF released

#

probably not even during SL fated

I read here recently that authority of Radiant P is better for M+, but I seem to be doing less with it. Can anyone clairfy this for me please.

Just need to say, I finally bothered to try a 12 with the normal build and I can officially say I know why they're running BSV in 13s and 14s, I didn't die but fuck me the scaling is scary rn

opal forum
#

for VO procs, i wanted to confirm if the correct way to do it is TC for 4+target, TB for 2+ target (when up) and SS the rest of the time (thane)

lusty grotto
#

more primary is better for M+

#

you will not see that contribution in details

#

unless if youre comparing overall dps as a whole

winter shard
lusty grotto
#

i doubt that's due to the enchant pick

winter shard
#

I'm just looking at the actual enchant in details

lusty grotto
#

yeah that barely matters

winter shard
#

Awesome, thank you! Couldn't find any info on this.

lusty grotto
#

if you're not accounting for the strength gain, that is

winter shard
#

I wasn't, just the actual enchant dmg in details. I was confused why it is showing to begin with cause it's stat.

lusty grotto
#

because it smites

#

for radiant damage

#

so its a 2 part damage gain

#

one via strength for all of our abilities and parry

#

and one with radiant damage

winter shard
#

I see. I read the tooltip really quick when I swapped must have missed a line lol

lusty grotto

there you go

If you're using outburst procs incorrectly, how much will it impact your overall in a key?

#

Does anyone know why the prio list says to cast champions spear paired with shield charge and ravager?

warm plinth
#

Because it lines up with them

mellow quartz
#

cause you wanna send CDs in damage windows

opal forum
#

yes cuz spear increase your damage for a few seconds, and it lines up

edgy bone
#

Is it because spear increases your crit chance

edgy bone
#

So you use spear to amp your shield charge

mellow quartz
#

if it crits

opal forum
#

yes

warm plinth
#

It's because it lines up. That's it. If they had different CDs, you'd still send them on cooldown.

edgy bone
#

Ok

warm plinth
#

But since spear affects the other two, you want that effect out first.

edgy bone
#

And for violent outburst procs, it's;

  • shield slam
  • thunder blast on 4+ targets
  • thunderclap on 8+ targets
opal forum
#

you probably want to cast ravager before spear sont you dont waste a GCD tho right?

#

i just asked the question, and for thane its 2 on TB and 4 on TC, according to far better players then me

warm plinth
#

Uh I think it's thunder clap on 4

#

and tb on 2

#

for thane

edgy bone
#

I thunder blast on 2+ targets

opal forum
#

if you have the proc yes

edgy bone
#

And clap on 4+

#

That means if I don't have TB proc, then I still SS on 3 targets

opal forum
#

yes

edgy bone
#

Ok

opal forum
#

if you do happen to have avatar on at that exact moment

edgy bone
#

Do you use a weak aura to track outburst?

opal forum
#

you can force a TB proc like this

#

yes

I want a BIG signal

opal forum

for luxthos, what i like to do

is deactivate each group

i have a question for gems, when i use https://www.wowhead.com/item=213743/culminating-blasphemite i do want to use at least 1 haste/crit gem and a 1 vers/mastery gem right? if i read the item correctly, i get the crit bonus for every unique color no?

opal forum
#

i have my TB procs, VO procs and shield block next to each other

#

they are the 3 main thing i like to track

edgy bone
vague abyss
#

like i get it, we want haste/crit or crit/haste gems, depending on which one sims better, but i want to use those vers/mastery gems just for that critical effect?

edgy bone
#

Can it be covered using only two gems?

#

Or do you need 4 gems because you need the primary stat on the dual stat gem to trigger it?

vague abyss
#

if i understand correctly, because each color is associated with a stat, you want at least 3 slots, 2 for the duals and one for the meta itself

edgy bone
#

Can I get ONE vers/mastery gem. Then the rest are haste/crit?

vague abyss
edgy bone
#

Can someone help

vague abyss
#

probably the good people is raiding at the moment xD

sharp gale
#

Emerald, Onyx, Ruby and Sapphire are colors, don’t know if blasphemite is a color itself

edgy bone
#

Each color corresponds to a secondary stat

next plaza
#

Do tertiaries get DRs?

sharp gale
#

Sim yourself in my opinion just to see, critical effect is dmg anyway

edgy bone
#

Does that mean I can get one single vers/mast gem then make the rest haste/crit

#

Or do I need 4 gems, each with the first stat in being something different

vague abyss
#

yeah i think thats the ideal, i would sim it to see if a haste/crit or a crit/haste is better

vague abyss

You're a haste/crit

#

I agree on that one but, that's an across the board problem. If you have a swirly the outline should be very clearly marked. I've taken damage from too many swirlies that I wasn't stood in.

tribal wharf
#

there is vents you can hardly see on the boss once they are covered with the fire, and an anvil there or rokmora (spelling wrong) that buffs you versa

#

back to doom

#

every single doom monster is makes a different sound, has a different color (very important) stands out in a crowd

#

its a pinky so its making grunting pig noises, its a skeleton revenant so its making bone noises

#

and its so easy to see and assess whats going on

#

Visual Clarity is something they're slowly getting better at. Though I'm hesitatant to say they'll ever get it "right". They keep doing it so clearly someone in the art / mechanics department thinks otherwise.

Any white swirly, circle of visual. The webs on Ulgrax are a mess. 😂

Oh yeah. For sure, really positive changes

The swirlies on the Overlords in Ara'Kara as well

That was a good change

Well ulgrax still has the issue of the tentacles being kind of hard to see

Because the boss just covers up any near you

#

double the particle effects size or similiar on the anvil and make the vent smoke appear 2 or 3 times as large (and maybe it self cleans the vent of any fire over time)

I've eaten so many of them on the last boss in GB just because they were being covered by the big ass boss

The charge on Ulgrax as well... Why is it not just a purple line across the floor like the silken court.

what tank are you used to play?

#

not that it matter im just curious

wary karma
#

Ahh, blood death knight has been my go-to since Cataclysm, I started messing around with pally sometime in Legion and kinda kept up with both for a little while.

#

Honestly, the death strike changes for dk pushed me away from it, and I'm a bit sad about it, but I'm loving prot so far.

tribal wharf
#

if its dh, we are DH except we trade in our offensive and self reliance for "don't die with a healer"

opal forum
#

yeah your gonna be chilling, we are extremely tanky so even if you dont have the best ILV you'll be alright

lusty grotto
#

?

opal forum
#

shield block and facing the enemy, your hp bar wont move, especially compared to pally/dk

tribal wharf
#

move around alot, parries etc, potential for big damage

wary karma
#

I was never the biggest fan of DH, either spec. It's a bit strange going from something that's extremely reactive to proactive, but I don't remember the last time my hp didn't spike like all hell.

sleek current
lusty grotto
#

thats a weird take

#

thats not true at all

opal forum

im a huge brew/dk fan

tribal wharf
#

we dont have offensive utilitiy like dh, sigil

opal forum
#

my favorite is still prot war tho

lusty grotto
#

that's not "offensive"

tribal wharf
#

put sigil down, monster does nothing

lusty grotto
#

thats just a stop

wary karma
#

I've never really messed around with any of the monk specs at all. I think the only one I'd want to play would be brew, but I'm not sure if it's worth the time to find out

lusty grotto
#

which we are the 2nd tank with most stops

#

and have been

#

for a WHILE

tribal wharf
#

we have more defensive cooldowns, for ourselfs only, is whati mean

#

rather than offensive ones

lusty grotto
#

still incorrect

opal forum
#

monks feels amazing right now to me

#

the base rotation is slightly bigger then other tank

#

but the mitigation part is a joke

sleek current
#

DH didn't even have an offensive cooldown really until this recent patch. We've always had Avatar.

opal forum
#

i feel like im playing a melee dps

lusty grotto
#

right

#

vdh offensive was just the hunt

#

and its not even picked anymore as FS

#

because meta is your offensive cd

wary karma
#

Maybe it would be worth tinkering with, then. I'll have to dig into it a bit.

tribal wharf
#

part of why i said offensive, is cuz dh often does way more dps than us

#

or it did for a while

#

it does more dps than pretty much any tank i think

#

or did

grim pilot
#

it definitely does not do it anymore

#

prot warrior probably has highest offensive dam rn

I'm prob blind but I don't see any mentions of prot war thane dmg buff. Do we know approx what the gain is?

Usually lightning strikes are like 8-10% of my overall so 25%gain is great on it

it wont be as big as it seems

3-5% max increase

#

Also have to take account of rage nerfs

rage nerfs are whatever

Prob not too big in terms of damage yeah

#

Love having all our damage be generators

lusty grotto
#

its not big at all

you wont feel the difference

sleek current
#

I don't know. Hits overall on a +10 NW for me was 1665. I don't think it's possible to track how many actual procs you got.

#

If it's per hit, that's about 3000 rage lost. Which would be 10% less generation on average for me. That I think, would be insane and I doubt that's the case.

especially such a valuable keybind like Q

I'd boil that down to familiarity to be honest.

maybe between some specs but its the same as like "keep mobility abilities on same key" between classes

It's 2 dispels per side no? I don't really concern myself with it

Yes it’s 2 dispels per side

hello, im considering trying out prot war for the 1st time, can someone give me a basic tldr of how it works and how it keeps itself alive ?

polar arrow
#

keep shield block up always

#

get weak auras to track ignore pain

lusty grotto
#

we have guides in Wowhead and Icyveins

#

do not track ignore pain

#

just press it at 70+ rage

#

you do not need to track it

#

you just press it

#

regardless of its status

prime mantle
#

no point spending an hour reading if i dont enjoy the playstyle/rotation

polar arrow
#

uh thats not a deep dive bro

#

takes like 20 mins

lusty grotto
#

well we cant answer anything concerning your tastes, so

polar arrow
#

hard to get a good idea of if you like the spec without playing it properly and if you cant be convinced to spend 20 mins reading then idk

lusty grotto
#

anything we say here will be on the guides

urban portal
#

isnt there a tldr for guides too

prime mantle
#

wasnt exactly a hard question

lusty grotto
#

you did

void skiff
#

get the spoon out for him

lusty grotto
#

but apologies if i misunderstood

void skiff
#

thats what he wants

prime mantle
lusty grotto
#

so whats the question

#

a quick tl;dr?

#

is that it?

prime mantle
#

a basic 1 sentence tdlr, ie. use this spell to generate, use this spell to spend, use this spell to heal

lusty grotto
#

you're welcome

#

thats the answer

#

have fun

void skiff
prime mantle
#

i dont think you understand what tldr means but sure

void skiff
#

dont play it then?

lusty grotto
#

trust me i understand what it means, im just not gonna do it

#

tldr, hit ignore pain

thats it

#

you want us to just

#

tell you how to play in 1 sentence and expect that to give you any idea of if you enjoy it

#

not to mention its a tank spec

#

theres literarlly no such thing as a 1 sentence tldr

void skiff
#

imagine being angry at people not feeding in to laziness. #2024

polar arrow
#

"rotations" havnt been a thing for like 5 expansions

#

its always a prio list

#

and its based on your situation

#

kinda hard to tldr that bro

prime mantle
#

was that hard?

void skiff
#

you have 4 buttons on vdh

lusty grotto
#

you forgot frailty stacks

void skiff
#

so no its not hard to do that

lusty grotto
#

but ok

void skiff
#

if reading a guide is too much maybe stick to vdh since its got less tool tips to read

polar arrow
#

how do i hit soul cleave/bomb its greyed out for me?

#

@prime mantle

lusty grotto
#

and "keep spikes up" aint it, youre not even mentioning covering gaps with meta

#

I maxed a brewmaster which is HILARIOUS and fast, but prot's meat-ness is just too good

void skiff
#

so Dawnthread is still siming the best? is it actually getting the uptime in reality on logs that makes it so its in practice the best?

#

because that was one of the things i was noticing with scabrood. its not stacking to a point where its actually getting the desired effect to be worth it over other trinkets for some classes when yopu look in the logs. was wondering if lining was same same

way above my pay grade man.

void skiff

it was a general question for the chat

idk, I had just under 80% uptime in a 10 GB just now

you shouldn't be able to

anyone have any tricks to manage uptime on shield block and ignore pain?

#

im a new prot warrior, from guardian druid

#

Should I be just spamming IP ?

mighty valley
#

with the right talents keeping shield block up should be straightforward, just always keep at least one charge on cooldown

#

for IP, basically just press it as much as needed to prevent overcapping rage while doing normal rotation

#

(which will be a lot)

last scarab
#

Maybe rotation gets better at 80, atm im 75 and i have to revenge a lot cuz i have no buttons to press

#

also sometimes i have no shield block

lusty grotto
#

you need haste

#

rotation is fine at 70

#

should be pretty normal without haste to lack uptime, hopefully you're playing Heavy Repercussions and not Into The Fray

#

as our guides suggest

#

while leveling its pretty normal to lack haste

#

@last scarab

polar arrow
#

okay so, wowhead says crafted 636 shield is solid great if nothing else needs upgrades worse

#

but my droptimzer is showing any of the 1h mainhands as alot better, but all my gear is roughly the same, stats and everything 619

lusty grotto
#

shield provides little offensive upgrade, so its unsimmable

polar arrow
#

i have 619 duelist dancing steel

lusty grotto
#

but its our highest and most recommended slot to fill out first

#

we depend on its block value

#

higher ilvl shield makes a huge difference in tankiness

polar arrow
#

ok bet, im going to craft an non embellished one just because i already have 2 619 embellishments

lusty grotto
#

yeah that's good

polar arrow
#

i dont suppose that would bite me later much?

lusty grotto
#

not at all

#

you should upgrade it with a myth shield if you can get one, but that's about it

polar arrow
#

ok i always figured i can recraft it with embellishment if needed, say i get an upgrade in one of those slots, i did a helm and boots just because i was lacking in those spots when i had a chance to craft gear

uhh

why did you do helm though

its a tier slot

boots are fine

bracers are fine

only because i had very nice bracers and cloak

to my knowledge the certain point is "you have an unholy amount of haste already"

jagged pier

35-40% unbuffed with anything

oak ivy
#

Is shield block our only hasted cooldown

jagged pier
#

U can run it now if u want but you will have block downtime where u csnt block anything an ithrt need to soend cooldowns u need for later to covrr the gap, use externals (hard in pug) or just take the unmitigsted damage that could lead to issues

#

U need to understand that is the down side of running itf without that amount of haste

#

If u want to run it fine but if u dont play correctly it will just lead to you dying most likely

Saw yoda suggesting it from 20% haste and sounded too early

The thing is about the streamers is they running it because they say the spec is 'unplayable without it' but becauae they arent taking it they are actively making themselves squisher and havnt ro compensate wiyh talents such as BSV

Depends on the dungeon

#

In ara kara or mists I doubt you'd notice it as tank

Mists we did, the trash does clap inthe maze ig

Lemme guess

#

The 1 pull that has 2 guardians

#

Aka the only pull in the entire dungeon

#

That does tank dmg

molten gorge
#

had a few scary pulls tbh

#

maybe like 3

If you don't reflect the anima slash you're in for a bad time

healer unironically said that he thought focusing me made a couple dps die

#

what more shocked me is how big the jump is

#

like a 14, I can see why they have BSV now keks

Only every other

Warr definitely nice in there cause of reflect

But only having to deal with one instead of two stacks is a gamechanger already

#

The double pack i just found sr -SW - spellblock repeat works fairly well

molten gorge
#

Ya it works

#

like it's fine

#

but it's just noticeably scarier

#

our dps was kinda low which didn't help, so we over timed by like 3mins smh, and things living longer doesn't help with survival

#

looking at the log now, even first pack I dipped to 65% at one point

jagged pier
#

Thats fine shruge

#

Can dip to 10%

#

The dip is the scary bit after that the danager is past

molten gorge
#

a single pack, going to 65%, I don't think has happened before now unless I messed up

#

hence, the jump was noticeable

#

in an 11, I've pulled both big guys and had it feel less scary haha
