Does last add on Dawnbreaker summon her adds on health thresholds or timer?
Timer I believe
i time a 10 fine, and 11 timing is fine until pugs wipe me on spears, but i'm sure 12 you need to do different pulls
No, it should be most of the first area including the big pack between the gatekeepers.
I'm at work so can't pull it up.
Scroll up to where I responded to someone else on how to analyze block
this
i updated the post with your feedback Nish
But I don't know what % to aim for
You said 90% SB uptime is decent but could be improved
Nim you taunt or heroic throw the furthest one from the necromancer and or otherwise pull with boss works too
Wut
this is how i've been pulling
two gatekeepers? holy hell
so at 95% it should be ok
can you catalyst raid BOEs?
Shield block “uptime” is irrelevant
lol
What matters is blocked hits
it is for shield slam dmg
Imo 0 gate keepers is ideal
halls of lightning would be a NIGHTMARE key to pug
Theyre not very high value
They are now
you guys pugging these pulls at 11+?
They nerfed their hp and upped their %
they're fast to kill and like 5.5%
id rather any dungeon but city of threads and court of stars
I wouldnt** pull gate keepers myself
I hate those puzzles
Routes without them feel better
I just wanna pull a pack
When was that?
4 pulls in first area in an 11+ pug feel ok? I dont have a team so just pug everything lol
Based cos hater
Like week 1 perhaps? IDR exactly one sec let me find it if I acn
2 weeks ago
Hmmm
It was recent
we do first pull w/ lust and second pull with the shield that's right there
Will have to go re-calculate.
If you can skip Narzhul, that's a big time saver.
as soon as gatekeeper in pull 1 dies we're pulling second
it's really fast and pretty safe
i might try that then
broke 900k overall in 10 arak as collossus, lot less rage but no deaths in group, felt decent enough
If you can skip Narzudah or whatever that caster is before the bridge, then the gatekeepers are def more value
Just depends if you can do that skip in a pug or not
narzudah kinda free tho
Just sucks if you don't have a purge.
^
Yeah depends on group
Just invite a purge
do you get first spear in that room?
yeah after you pull the blightbags right there
Typical group I have is Boomy, DK or Ret, Mage/Hunter, and Prirst or Druid healer.
I was wondering if you can sneak to it
pull them in during boss
here is my less-buttons-press build so you too can streamline your rotation into success!
not trying to avoid getting the spear obviously
scatter your timing is yogi-level right now
for legal reasons i need to state this is a meme
dang, as col I get like 40 less shield slams over the same run, and 150 less ip, but my overall heal went up, on the same key
do not actually use this you will be executed and the dps players will hold your head up like isis does
"tank wheres ur thunderclap"
Well yeah, your leech is higher because your DPS is higher
now I'm looking at total healing and damge over the run rather than per second, and 3 runs all about same
Ref to Colossus Prot?
LMAO
atleast they have it talented
i hate colossus i feel awful not pressing tc
back to thane and see the dif of the rage loss from yesterday
U wont feel any
does anything else come to mind immediately for anyone for straightforward log review? i feel like this reflects the basics i've seen in chat today but not sure and just want to be kind of self-serve with evaluating myself if i can
I mean, if the dps is off in Narnia poking a mob Thunderclap should be the least of their concern.
the big demolish hits is cool, but channeling is not
Does Channeling still allow mobs free hits?
those look fine, revenge use might not be that important anyway
unless if youre colossus
Is colossus ever an option over thane? Haven’t touched it yet
Well evaluating IP usage is irrelevant when you're already tracking rage
for keys on farm, sure
if you wanna have fun, doing raid, or doing lesser keys
thane has so much survivability over it tho
It's more dps at the cost of tankiness.
how meaningful are the rage gen nerfs?
Oh okay
less DPS diff since the buffs
not meaningful at all
okay I figured, thanks
Well i guess thane it is then
Nil, really nil. We won't overcap AS much.
unga bunga dn
unless you spend rage on IP too much instead of having it for revenge to reset SS, but i'm not sure how to cleanly analyze that in a log
if i ever feel homosexual you're top 5
im prolly gonna get some hate for this, but now I have a choice to make
I've recently noticed the absolutely cracked sound effect for Demoralizing Shout
easy sacbrood
SACBROOD SACBROOD SACBROOD
idk if it's new or something, but I think it trumps spell reflect
skarm bro
f the sac
not because of optimization but so you drive friends and guildies to suicide
because they get envious
aw hell no wowow owoooo...
I have both on hero rn so it's kinda a toss up lol
thank you for feedback
What do.. currently have 619 of all these exact items. Surely Sacbrood right?
You'd see it in CPM, if you break your rage generation cycle your apm starts to suffer
do you mythic raid
ye just get sacblood
No 
that's a toughie then
If it happens rarely then it's hard to notice unless you're really diving deep in to pull by pull encounters
If you mythic raid, sure.
If not, it saves a catalyst
so should see if CPM is less than XX?
I didn't look, but what raid is the time walking one?
wrath
wot-lik
Lich king. Ooooh
CPM and then either 0 rage or capped rage
Wait, which raid? Naxx, throne, or Ulda?
0 rage you over spent and can't fish for procs from revenge
Capped you should be spending it
uld
Shit, couple items in there might be cool.
ulduar has 7 different shields, our cup runneth over
literal vendor trash
someone tell me what ulduar items might be chill weed vibe
Only one that will matter is the one from the quest cache.
Alright. Quick question on the 4pc. Should I drop 13 ilvls on gloves to wear the 4pc. Granted I don’t raid this is just m+. I’ve got hero track gloves that aren’t tier and then lfr gloves.
no
which is what
Yep. And it’ll give out the most obscenely bad item. Like black temples Stam and crits don’t gen threat trinket.
A random item from the raid at 610. Hero track.
I figured the 4pc wasn’t that great. Thanks.
yeah alright so what items are going to be chill weed vibe from ulduar 😂
that was the point
so are we just stacking haste to the moon
and.. get vers if we can?
Its been a long ass time since I was in Ulda.
so did they like remove mythic dungeon week or what
there's just a lot of nerds here so i figured someone would know
I need my chance at queen ring
not particularly
Let's be fair, it's the pot calling the kettle black. We're all on a Discord about a vidya gayme.
assuming you're in all bis 639 gear, what are the 2 best slots to have 636 crafted with embelshment ?
hard to say
wrist cloak no?
idk what that does
where do tanks stand on that priority tho ahah
wrist belt then i guess
Wrist, and maybe weapon. Cloak from raid is BiS.
639 weapon will always be better no?
i could be trippin, i just saw a 7% buff to aoe dmg, ST felt the same just now
already got wrist done, maybe was deciding between cloak/belt
5 dummies
that sounds right
Not sure I'm in the right place, but in terms of the new Devour affix (said to be dispellable by any kind of dispel), would either Bitter Immunity or Berserker Shout work? Would be pretty sick if you could deal with the affix on the entire group with BS
ive been victory rushing it
immunity might work but
heals for most of it
no clue why you would bend over for it
can see BI working
so yeah Dwarf + Bitter Immunity
Shame BI is on a 3 minute CD...
yeah
smh
real
your messages progressively get worse
poison cleanse toten 📣
Shamans out here staying the best choice smh
Just gotta keep that resto shaman superiority going.
ngl I feel like Champs Spear into Demolish does more than thunderous roar
champs spear demolish and shield charge while casting demolish with all cds*
I love shield charge amid demolish so much

it's in class tree so surely they can
need my skyfury or i'm not playing
skyfury go brrrrr
Shaman use Lightning, Warrior use Lightning
idk if I should still get the 2% crit talent which is I guess outright 2% dps upgrade or slightly more
🤝
Warrior Shaman combo is a tale as old as time
or 10% stamina to feel abit more relaxed
c:
For 12 keys the 10% stam feels good
any downsides to making the two embelished pieces wrist/hands?
can u embellish a cloak instead?
well people got me thinking about the rash cloak
best mats for cloak cost like 5k total including the crest
Because it doesnt have stupid RNG materials involved like tinderbox
So its a big $$ save
when u recraft as well
yeah but im worried about sinking the 90 gilded into it just to get rash cloak lmao
dont care about the cost to produce
Don't do hands it could be set piece
New affix a trivial affix?
Any shaman can bring it.. will they? 
Out of curiosity, are any of the embellishments good enough to keep a crafted piece at full build? I imagine the 3ilvls will just be better based on the embellishments this tier
also curious about that tbh
i think its worth the 3 ilvl but not 100% sure
can just sim it
Embellishs are worth the 3ilvl
🙂

It seems like we're more or less just at the mercy of our healers. However I will try to see if Berserker Shout works on it, when we go live in EU. The affix description says "any kind of dispel" and "remove fear effects" sounds like it could be interpreted as a dispel. I know a lot of people here are smarter than me, but imma see for myself!
I was thinking victory rush might trivialize it, but not sure
I suppose it depends on how much healing is required
I play with a lot of pugs, so I would like to not be completely helpless with the new affix haha
do we have to rush to remove it tho? i think buff reaplies much like week 1 and 2 affixes, so you can prolongate buff duration by removing it later on tank
Seems dangerous to sit on it too long. It's only 15 sec yea?
I would definitely deem it too risky with pugs at least...
its 15 seconds long, plenty of time to remove it, and tank shouldnt really feel that he has it tbh)
i mean healer prioritizes dps for dispel, and then just heals tank until debuff is dropped
I'm just worried about an entire pack of fortified mobs healing lol
still not worth a talent point to go immunity
actually, order doesn't matter at all, ignore what i wrote
Last stand removes it in a pinch?
No immunity also has too long of a cd
Isn't it a max HP plus heal?
I think it counts as heal at least
LS doesnt count
i tried it and im pretty sure it cleared, unless it was my imagination
oh
Finally someone with real empirical data! You give me hope sir!
berserker rage* though to be specific
finally a week with a good affix, that we will feel lol) didn't really feel last week's affix doing anything
well my data was "hmm i think the buff went away and maybe it was just the healer dispelled me at the same time as coincidence"
lol
yea yea, we'll write it up as "more testing needed"
Last week's affix is easily the worst one
So how we feeling about Siege this week? Haha
siege is always unfun
not 2.8k why even waste our time with posting this trash
jk love u gj baby
would tanks get prio on rash cloak?
Just too many weird bugs in that one. First boss pulling from five zip codes away, any class with a charge-like ability ending up in the water on last boss etc.
i found siege to be pretty chill last week, looks like you don't need to rush there, just go on your own pace and you will be fine
IIRC they tuned the dungeon timer, as it was very punishing in the beginning
my charge sends me through water a lot, but there is always enough time to jump on the shore)
we need a 3K m+ score achi
I'm just thinking with the double dispell and affix 🙂
Maybe for a plate user. But a survival hunter with 0 versatility just melts haha
cuz i want the ilvl
to increase dps survivablity you mean?
1.3 all natty
As a M+ only player, am I kinda F from getting mythic track gear?
Man that sucks
it is what it is
And its pure RNG
i get why it is like that
can't ahve farmable myth track gear
that would be kinda silly
what key
I feel like Dragonflight wasnt this bad
you think bfa gearing rocked?
As did Shadowlands
I had 2.4k rating in both so I'd get mythic tier ilvl drops from pvp constantly
necrotic wake 10
Anyway lotsa my friends kinda go to heroic gear, hard stuck at 9/10s, then quit
The day mythic raid released or maybe before, I already had 226 weapon in shadowlands S1
Double chest from pvp and pve, both dropping mythic gear
Must not have rocked for ppl who can't kill a mage tho
Nice!
strength in line again
about time!
erga rocks I know that
eyir rocks
Though choices or im i overthinking it? I already have the weapon crafted 636, this trinket does not sim very well for dmg or thinking bout defenses.
absolutely crankin
this stopping me from doing good
That would require you to open vault in Prot loot spec. Which means you risk filling your slots with this season's useless tank trinkets
u can get useless 2Hs
Or just kill first boss mythic
i am
you open it in prot if u need shield or 1h
whats the weekly debuff keys
I open in arms or fury, just to not get shitty trinkets. But I do of course run the risk of getting 2Hs. But I do DPS once in a while, so they're not completely useless, compared to tank trinket
I joined a low key as dps
played prot anwyway
the actual tank couldn't get aggro
prob still more overall than me as fury
Refracting aggression module makes me outright angry it's that bad
that until u are outta CDs and gotta pop defensives
and the other tank cant taunt for his life
619 shield and wep for me and doing 9s no issue.
It doesn't scale properly with ilvl, so a trash mob auto attack from mythic raid or any reasonably high key will eat the entire thing
ye i am just missing 2 on 10s timed as well
shit doesnt matter for 10s
my overall is 617 ilvl
wrists are fkn 603 tho
I just refuse to farm lower crests
Regarding to that statement, do you believe that having the crafted 636 shieed and 1 hander it's enought to stop risking opening vault as a tank?
Most definitely
Getting myth tier wep or shield would pretty much be my only incentive to open vault in prot spec
is weapon rly even that good
shield fucks but weapon idk
what scales off weapon dmg
Shield is better, but weapon damage is great
Nothing as far as I know, but since you rely heavily on auto attacks with Devastator, cranking that damage is nice
a lot
you wanna do more dam
weppy does that
Once u are on cap u automaticly get lower ones even if u do 9s..
go sim your stats weapon DPS is gonna be biggest stat
Maybe i should grab the 1 hander on my chest, even already having the 636 crafter
Someone's probably already asked this but just curious - does IP counting as self-healing work for this week's affix?
no
its not a pure heal
I use IP IRL
Just let the wounds bleed and ignore them?
I said ignore pain not ignore the wound
Thanks
not the place to ask, but idk where else to go because im in no wow discords except this one and dont have a reddit account, how much would y'all charge for acuity? i've done all i needed with it and am considering offering it now
for recrafts and stuff
You set the price, keep in mind two things: there’s a sucker born every minute and a fool and his gold are easily parted
i play wow to live out the fantasy of being able to have money because irl im poor
fuck slaying dragons and shit i just wanna be able to afford food
ultimate dream

You can definitely charge outrageous amounts for conc use
Time to send out some job apps!
Make sure you’re also using one of those sniper addons for crafting
naw i dont NEED conc, im completely maxxed in blacksmithing
im strictly refering to acuity offering
Oooh gotcha
fuck u i alread yam dont u judge me ill dps u down irl
I've literally no idea but as like a rough benchmark - how much dps should dps be doing on a 10/11 key?
do you have the logs to this?
1.2M +
Trying nw10s and runs are clean but timer feels tight :/
No judgment friend, just love to see an dream fulfilled
def more than 1M
thanks
he said dps
Dps
Imperfect Ascendancy Serum. We talking mediocre trinket or pretty good?
not tank
dps dps 😄
like, total damage done
wtf i only do like 200k
i almost shat myself
bigger pulls, more dps. thane is godly
are we using colossus or mountain in heroic raid talent? gonna tank in raid tonight (was blood before) and not sure if i should play colossus or mountain)
what ranking is more accurate
if you feel like you need damage reduction, go thane. if not, colossus.
warcraft logs or raider io
if youre just starting out just do MT until youre familiar with the encounter and the class
i parsed 95-99s (ON WEEK 1 MIGHT CHANGE) as mountain thane on normal and heroic
so like
¯_(ツ)_/¯
just know a good rotation will always prevail
it does to the puggers my sweet prince
if you had pumper raids you would proba have 99%
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
because you will get dunked on when people log on
not all of them know that
just doing my job 😎
just so we're clear i'm not arguing performance i'm just saying do good rotation, get into future pugs easier
dont think so lemme check
what do u guys think shield block uptime was in the 1400s
noice ty
serious answers only please
dps u irl
not /j
very much /srs

i pad on ur family
heroic strike ur sister to ragedump
wait
thats classic
we need heroic strike to come back so we can return to rage starving properly
wholesome -15 (with no auto attack rage generation so it's like -25)
@south zealot ima go in with pumpers and beat u
can I get an augment
or is that cheating xd
on logs it dont matter
Anyone having issues getting a balanced secondary stat profile? I seem to have a lot of mastery and just am not having luck getting items with vers. Is everyone just letting that go and leaving thier secondary's to the drop gods? Or worth spending time farming ideal secondary's? if so what percents we talking for each?
I got
I shit u not
900 crit
s1
we in shambles
worry about ilvl
just get haste
vers doesnt feel bad tho
other stats dont matter even a little bit
i have 1600 vers lol
Wonder if after a point of parry%, Barbaric Training would actually be good
Like can get it proc that every few GCDs
for percents i have 17 crit, 22 haste, 21 mastery (wow), and 8 vers (shameful). I just cant seem to get better stated drops to bring vers up
is there a crit breakpoint at all? i was planning to just gear mostly vers and have w/e crit i have
assuming your haste is primary, right?
Its a good day to open vault boys, having a hard time deciding.
correct
youre min maxing things you shouldn't
just get ilvl
and haste
thats it
okay, sounds good
i bet right after first soft cap whichever of the two isn't soft capped is better
seems that close
whats soft cap?
nothing you should be concerned about
hey what haste for itf 
(disregard thiss new people please use HR for shield uptime unless raiding)
but if you want the DRs for crit
ye we arent hitting crit or vers soft cap while maxxing haste
Altho I am getting close to haste
any good routes ARAK?
bro dungeon is basically linear
hit w
way over on %
crit DRs are
10% = 28k
20% = 35k
30% = 42k
40% = 49k
50% = 140k
but you shouldn't be concerned about these, just sim
usaully try and take right up to the first hanging spider dude first pull
but its hit and miss with pugs how clean the pull is lol
this wont work in a pug
then clear second platform
yeah usually everyone is
then clear that second platform in like 2 pulls, leaving a couple things up to take with boss
and 3rd big spider dude
after that just linear but its like 6% over
since you need to clear that second platform
and you cant really avoid anything without invis
wondering if someones got a better idea to avoid invis
Why would you want to invis in Arak? You have to pull extra to not be over count.
are u sure? im 6% over with what i just said
literally only clearing everything that i absolutely have to
Clear left platform, clear boss, clear right, go right side between 1st and 2nd boss and in the end go straight down the middle.
yeah fuck im on my laptop right now haha
You need a little extra for 100% with that
me too, i can't pull up mdt either atm that's why i was curious ha
are you fully clearing the middle platform?
Yes
can u send a screen shot
its afflicted 2.0 + grievous
Need to dispell or heal it away
so healer affix
The magic shield from intervene is complete trash or?
ah strange, never seen someone go down the center before 3rd boss
It's like 500k every 30 seconds
not complete trash it adds up
have a shaman in your group and poison cleansing totem will take care of the affix
what type of dispell is it
any
Any
magic i presume? so more work for healer?
you are a warrior, avoiding the stun puddles in a pain with 90% slows
Ideally you wanna go left instead of right to avoid 2x the dmg reduction mobs no?
And how exactly does intervene work in pve? Only for physical damage, right? And I need to be in melee
I dont
You can bitter immunity it if you really wanted
the DR mobs are to the other mobs around them not the mobs themselves
yeah i mean like what type is the debuff, since it can be removed
so you are just cleaving the other mobs anyway
ya but at DR
so it's slower
Need to be close enough to the target generally, and it works on a case-by-case basis, though generally any kind of physical attack, including ranged shots and the like
i see what it does now but
not if the big guy dies together with the others anyway
Okay so something like the slam on Last Boss CoT should be intetveneable, right?
Has to be directed at someone usually
So if it's an AOE phys damage, generally won't swap the damage over
Oh okay 
only going to matter as keys get higher
i dont understand the dispell it part, ya, there is weird stuff where non healers can dispel like 3/4 things
whatd u mean by this btw
same with doing the middle at end, the mob scaling on that last mob is going to get rough
timed a +12 with the above route
Magic is intended to be a healer only mechanic dispell
if you have a spell that can dispel ANYTHING (like remove curse, or cleanse disease) then it can remove this debuff
Warlocks and Dwarves can also dispell magic, but it's generally mega niche
Silken chain weaver seems really strong for high keys, or is it bait?
the season doesn't end at 12 ^^ but ya as I said
oh, weird, okay
as keys get higher
strongest defensive option, yes
i'll have to pay attention to it or log it
if your group is stretched for dispels we can take bitter immunity
only from delves right? got a champ one so i assume i cant get a higher one? maybe in vault?
but it lasts 15 seconds so tons of time
You can also try healing it off with LS + IV
also are most people going right before second boss of ARAK, i thought left was better?
what i did in th key i was running to test the affix, i found using victory rush was okay for the healing absorb
either works
thats the only part of it i knew for sure
The healing part and dispells and interchangeable
yeah but champs is good enough cause the slow speed doesnt change
You can either heal it off or dispell it
awesome thanks
if anything you skip most of that area later on in the season
well, what if you heal yourself and then you arent 100% hp still
Ya true if there's some skip tech that'd be the spot
who ping
we were talking about a guy asking how to pull the dungeon
so doubt it was 'high' keys
Ah, I didn't read back, ya middle at end imo with pugs too
think someone asked same the other day
the fucking slow mobs at the end sometimes are yikes
with pugs especially
if you pull slow mobs without a freedom ability you have to time leap and intervenes which you can but who wants to do that in pugs
im doing 11s, 12s

I'm going left rn at least and left at dungeon end
yeah but the other guy who asked probably isn't lol
but haven't tried it on 12 there yet, only tried Mists on 12 so far
im literally the one who asked
hahah

thought it was Agmius
this what i've been doing rn
yeah same here
anyway I timed the route I linked on a +12 holding W with a group from LFG without voice and was easy
I wouldnt wanna do pull 9 there, 3 assistants are rough
cant block or spell block
if you do them that small might be fine
but they do a lot of dam on +12
ya need some CDs, maybe too much on a 12
I was kinda surprised (probably stupidly) at the jump from 11 to 12
like even Mists, we bricked cause the dps just was not pumping like we needed
was like 2mins over timer
and I took a lot more dmg than I thought
ya that's a nice route ngl
invis pots in pugs at this stage though.....
ya for pugging no shot
have to carry invis pots for people, trade them, and they'd still brick it
problem rn is I don't even think it's hard to have all 11s
sorry said that route was +12 meant no1 route at +14 on rio
I'm legit fresh to tank and the only 11s I haven't done is cause I've not had the keys (bar GB where we got griefed by boss despawn)
so can't really pick out who the gamer gamers are
cause i clearly am not
the 11 to 12 gab is insane
for sure
dont have to press a single defensive to time 11s
Ya, I'm really glad I focused on it without needing to early on
cause 12 mists without my defensive usage being up, would have been dog shit
fr can see why people play BSV
actually took damage in a +12

guys i need help 😦 how do i tank nexus princess on heroic difficulty
I feel like i need shield wall up everytime she does her thingy
never went below 50%
what problem are you havig
having*
I probably just assumed incorrectly that Mists would be easy tbh
VERY tight timer
ARAK and GB are by far the easiest 12s
if you have good dps then mist is fine
very tight though
I'm just getting one-shot by her void shredders if I don't have shield wall
Ya, we were a little off the mark, think our CD usage was bad
in a guild yeah
whats your cotank
Bear tank
oh lol
would you guys take a myth track mark of khadros or a hero track mad queens mandate
i dont remember that being a problem one min
Use Spell Block and Spell Reflect in between the shield walls mate
Beyond that, give us a log and we can take a look at where you're struggling on the main rotation
spell reflect reduces the shadow damage?
It reduces all magic damage by 25% for 5 seconds
SR reduces all magic damage by 20%
20%*
Even if you don't reflect anything, it's still a strong defensive option
Mark of Khadros is very good, why would you not take it ?
ah didn't know shadow counted as magic damage
Heck, the DR used to go away after you reflected something, and that was actually a negative aspect in some situations
Shadow/Nature/Arcane/Fire/Frost/etc and any combination thereof are all magic damage
Pretty much, anything that isn't physical damage is magic damage
Anything that doesn't explictately state "Physical". It's probably magical
gotcha, ty. I just saw on the spread sheet that it wasn't blockable or reflectable
but ill keep that in mind next time i tank it
mad queen mandate is simming higher but lower track
Yeah, you can still use SR for the DR, even if it isn't reflectable
You can look all abilities up on wowhead to see the specific data and flags
You just can't reflect/deflect it
only issues im coming into
thank you all for your input 🙂
is tanking heroic court basically the same as normal
If you're juicing, yes.
We don't tank swap and the only time we don't stack is to help the unga bungas clear their debuff on phase 2.
We being me and my co-tank but, if you... Want to swap, you still can. It's just wasted time and effort when you can eat that physical hit like it's breakfast.
mmk thanks
Not solo tanking the caster P1 to get maximum reflects off smh
is prot not using an embellishment this tier?
we are, why would we not
Duskweave or Dawnthread.
idk, there aren't any on the thing on Wowhead
lightning/thunder procs the additional charge, yeah?
It's under BiS Gear
btw does anyone know if exhaust vents are still overlapping with crescendo in stonevault?
I haven't even gotten a +10 key yet
There should've been a hotfix for that a few weeks back iirc
theyre not, youre just running with scrubs
Like it's not even me struggling to stay alive, it's people not doing damage or not doing things properly
10s are chill
I was living life through a +10 SoB earlier when the entire party died +2 to the spotters because they bugged.
quick question, how high should my overall uptime of ignore pain be ?
Same in every single key I've done
there was but then it came back
I can only do so much when pugging unfortunately
bricked my key a couple days ago
Not a worthwhile metric, because it varies entirely on damage profile of encounters
pugs are always a scam
10s are a big jump from 9s and people want to do them for the vault slot
if you fell behind in IO early on you have to slowly struggle your way up the ranks
CPM is more of note, since you mostly utilize IP as an oGCD rage dump
You have to
til you get invited to groups that arent dog
I wasn't behind until recently but people couldn't time 10s no matter how much I spammed
that's what i mean, in seasons past the rewards stopped scaling before the key difficulty jumped
So now I'm def behind
i think anyone below 2.5k is a massive gamble
plus they're harder to carry with the cast stop change
im actually surprised they didnt drop max vault rewards to 9s this week
with all the backlash
This is legit the least enjoyable season I've played since the start of M+
The only issue I've had is that people as a whole have been notably more toxic than other expacs I've played
cuz the key level squish has confused people
and so u have people who have no business doing certain levels trying them
doesn't do me any good when I only get the same 2 keys

ok
I get sent to GB or Siege pretty much always
There's a dungeon I've yet to even enter since I only ever run my own key
I think it's Echoes, off the top of my head
coming to the end of day 4 since i switched to the warrior, was hoping to push more keys than this before reset but chose to do a no leaver 10 instead that ate some time, actually felt it was doable but ya know 40 dps deaths is a thing haha hopefully get caught up a bit on this reset. Got queen heroic to kill now so probably as fa as ill get 😦 i can actually see now why we have all the 10s hate those things are a bit yikes
Hello, i've recently decided to try prot warri and i have some questions as the only tank i've played was guardian on higher stuff xD First of all, its my 1st week on war, done some t8 delves and killed lfr Ansurek so i can craft 1 619 item without issue, should i go for 1h or shield i can craft both so i guess shield is more important to go higher ? And 2nd question as im used to play classes with less buttons tbh, is it safe to always use ignore pain + shield slam macro? Or its too risky and i should use them separetly? And third question, is spell reflect that big of the deal so i could memorize what i can reflect as a tank or can i find some weakauras for when to click reflect?
you should only macro shield slam onto your ignore pain bind but never macro ignore pain onto your shield slam bind - this is not to save keybinds but to allow you to gcd snipe shield slam when it resets
Original WA: https://wago.io/IkerOKywU Tells you when to reflect in Dragonflight dungeons and raids. Triggers only when
youre better off memorising what you can reflect from the sheet but otherwise its safe to send it its a 20s cd
what benefit is there to that?
he explained it
but so you snipe SS resets while also sending IP if that was your intent
since you can get back to back resets
yeah but idk that seems really bad to me
it's not
I used to think so too
cuz you might want to do something other than shield slam
devastator procs SS
you really dont notice it
with that gcd lol
you dont use it to shield slam
no you wouldn't
you use it to IP
wym no u wouldnt lol
and there's not a lot of GCDs that are as important as shield slam
if you press it off the GCD, it won't even use it, anyway
Exactly what I said
yeah but like, you're wrong
So like, the only time that issue comes up is if you want to cast SS
whos wrong?
worst case ontario you'll accidentally hit a SS when you wanted to stun something
so like what
Hmm I got the Sureki neck in vault at 626 or a mythic track skarmorak shard 🤔 I only do m+. Is the neck good for us?
lol ok
Ah yes
Literally just don't press the button when the GCD is coming, then
theoretical problems that don't happen
and press the stun instead
Trust us when we as a community all use the macro and that situation really doesn't happen
Again, if you press the keybind while the GCD is ticking, it won't ever cast SS, since SS is on the GCD
☝️
So you just continue to press it oGCD as before, but if you need to spam out IP and catch SS while doing so, that's what the macro is for
Short answer yes
It'll automatically parse the keybind for you
its especially useful in high haste scenarios like lust
long answer massive haste neck so definitely yes, and also the proc is nice
neck is basically BiS for everyone
How good is mad queen's mandate
You shouldn't be pressing IP if there's a GCD to press in the first place, so the macro just makes it so you can without clipping your GCD
staggering your GCD and oGCD really works wonders
thanks
Choose two:
- 626 Mad Queen's Mandate
- 639 Larynx
- 626 Sacbrood
idk, this just seems really bad to me
you can just press SS and IP at the same time
in fact
dude you sound like a neckbeard
i use it on both IP and SS
know it all neckbeard vibes
because i like eating procs
link your raider io
hard to turn down layrnx if it's gaining you crests
That's what the bind does, so yes, you can in fact just press both binds at once
or you could just use the macro on your IP and lose literally nothing and potentially gain a couple extra shield slams
I don't use the macro myself because I just press both binds at once on my MMO mouse
I was using that macro since day 1 but asked it cause there's a lot to click on prot warri and i was afraid i'd dump rage into ignore pain which will lead to not casting shield block and dying xD Need to practice this cause warri seems kind of overwhelming for me. Also i've used showtooltip for slam on this macro and even as IP is first it glows with the proc of SS from devastator
youre using it incorrectly
from what youre saying
having an opinion makes you a know it all neckbeard lol? im not saying others shouldnt use it, do what you want, just feels off to me
again its not used to shield slam
Link your r.io
If you're gonna tell people theyre wrong
^ that's you
bro, your discord banner is a shirtless banner, you're screaming dbag rn
I am a dbag
relax a bit
Most people don't use two fingers to press their binds at the same time, so it's used to help automate that, since normal use case for IP is off the GCD, so you don't run into any issues
and Nimchip is one of the most knowledgeable and best prot warriors in here
I guess Nom is wrong
Time for haladin theorycrafter I guess
Would this be the macro we should use?
#showtooltip Ignore Pain
/cast Shield Slam
/cast Ignore Pain
other way around
other way around
IP first
ok thanks
otherwise you just cast shield slam lol
I'm guessing if Haladin links his raider.io, I'll go back and find out he's played prot warrior max 3 seasons and started in dragonflight
Whereas most of the people in here have played prot for thousands of hours over the better part of a decade
At any rate, as long as you're doing this, the macro won't really do anything for you
It's not about score
what i was thinking
cus obviously score = skill
I want to know how many years he's played prot
erga come carry me
why is that relevant?
I need less brainlets in my keys
quality > quantity
Because experience is king
yeah but you're NA
if you were a top tier pwarr in legion it's not gonna be anything like playing pwarr today

You can kinda ignore a lot of the shit slinging coming at you at the immediate point, since you should be generally fine
rather someone who was a degen pwarr for 10,000 hours in DF
yeah so we're just having a bad-faith argument
Legion P War faster iiirc
the play just feels clunky to me, i can think of plenty of situations where i dont wan't ignore pain to cast SS
good start to my prot warrior journey?
The main issue is that those realistically don't come up, since you press IP while the GCD is rolling, so it physically can't cast Shield Slam
then don't use it, and dont talk about it. Like you've been told it's a good idea, you disagree, you're not gonna change anyone's mind and you're not gonna change yours.
topic done

It that issue ever comes up, you're prioritizing the wrong things
personally i don't use that macro
not trying to change anyones mind, its just a conversation mate
whats got you bugging lol
people really need to learn that they are allowed to play the game however the fuck they want
and that goes for both ppl arguing
no need to tell others how to play
dog vs rat, whos the goodest boy
idk i feel like this chat has been very hostile lately, idk if that's just me coming back from a long break or what
its been going that way for a while
no, only my way is optimal
The only way to play the game is to attempt to catch as much degenerate RP in the act as possible in the Deeprun Tram, thank you
happens at the start of an expac
Well with Jordan gone, there was a toxicity vacuum that had to be filled
we're inside the bubble rn
@waxen frigate can you say something about erga's mom
Rodman?
Honestly, kinda agree; it's just been getting toxic over time. It's actually chilled a bit recently, if that makes you feel anything.
ppl just angy
world is shit and everything costs too much
ppl come home and are frustrated
nah its gotten worse, but the whole wow ocmmunity has gotten worse
so

like, no one is forcing you to post here and if you can't treat people with respect then maybe don't send messages ?
If I don't vent on the internet I'm gonna cap my rage irl
time to start a song
Jakey said my overall thoughts
we didnt start the fire...
be the change you want to see
give me the change you have in your pockets
i am actively trying
jakey's generally pretty civil, and nicer than he's been prior
no one carries change anymore old man...
So he is, in fact, trying
erga i hope youre not talking about me, you should know im nice until i get fucking challenged
google debit card 

dog4prez he's still living in simpler times
lad fr half the people who talk in here all the time are cringe af, don't take any notice
jakey's life is made hard by people who come in, provide a log, and then just lie about what the log says
gotta learn to also be nice when you are challenged
There's literally a downvote bot on wow reddit forums made with the express intent to cause friction between posters
And when they get fact checked, they get aggressively defensive about it
post the gif
i haven't taken notes so idk who specifically, i just remember poping in sometimes and reading some stuff i'm not a big fan of seeing here
nah 99% of the time they dont even post the log still waiting for ones from DF

True, but I'm referencing specific recent events where they did attempt to provide a log
member meme fridays?
but then the above happened
