to not grab them when they're right there

naive hatch
#

Does last add on Dawnbreaker summon her adds on health thresholds or timer?

sonic brook
#

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

tulip oar
#

No, it should be most of the first area including the big pack between the gatekeepers.

muted arch
#

6 pulls in that area is a lot

#

Should be doing 4

tulip oar
#

I'm at work so can't pull it up.

lusty grotto
#

agreed

#

it should be 4

sonic brook
#

i never trust

#

i probably should trust more

#

🙂

Scroll up to where I responded to someone else on how to analyze block

sonic brook
#

this

#

i updated the post with your feedback Nish

#

But I don't know what % to aim for

deft mortar
#

You said 90% SB uptime is decent but could be improved

dusky canopy
#

Nim you taunt or heroic throw the furthest one from the necromancer and or otherwise pull with boss works too

naive hatch
#

this is how i've been pulling

sweet summit
#

two gatekeepers? holy hell

waxen frigate
deft mortar
#

so at 95% it should be ok

dusky summit
#

can you catalyst raid BOEs?

dusky canopy
#

Shield block “uptime” is irrelevant

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

What matters is blocked hits

Imo 0 gate keepers is ideal

I wouldnt** pull gate keepers myself

I hate those puzzles

Routes without them feel better

I just wanna pull a pack

4 pulls in first area in an 11+ pug feel ok? I dont have a team so just pug everything lol

#

Hmmm

waxen frigate
#

It was recent

naive hatch
#

we do first pull w/ lust and second pull with the shield that's right there

tulip oar
#

Will have to go re-calculate.

naive hatch
#

chain 2 into 3

#

then pull boss when safe to do so

tulip oar
#

If you can skip Narzhul, that's a big time saver.

random herald
naive hatch
#

as soon as gatekeeper in pull 1 dies we're pulling second

#

it's really fast and pretty safe

sonic brook
#

i might try that then

naive panther
#

broke 900k overall in 10 arak as collossus, lot less rage but no deaths in group, felt decent enough

random herald
#

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

naive hatch
#

narzudah kinda free tho

tulip oar
#

Just sucks if you don't have a purge.

naive hatch
#

random herald
#

Yeah depends on group

waxen frigate
sonic brook
lusty grotto
#

of course

#

why wouldnt you pick up a spear

naive hatch
tulip oar
#

Typical group I have is Boomy, DK or Ret, Mage/Hunter, and Prirst or Druid healer.

sonic brook
#

I was wondering if you can sneak to it

naive hatch
#

pull them in during boss

zealous goblet
#

here is my less-buttons-press build so you too can streamline your rotation into success!

sonic brook
#

not trying to avoid getting the spear obviously

lusty grotto
#

scatter your timing is yogi-level right now

zealous goblet
#

for legal reasons i need to state this is a meme

naive panther
#

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

zealous goblet
#

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"

jagged gust
naive panther
#

now I'm looking at total healing and damge over the run rather than per second, and 3 runs all about same

tulip oar
zealous goblet
#

atleast they have it talented

#

i hate colossus i feel awful not pressing tc

naive panther
#

back to thane and see the dif of the rage loss from yesterday

jagged pier
#

U wont feel any

sonic brook
#

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

tulip oar
#

I mean, if the dps is off in Narnia poking a mob Thunderclap should be the least of their concern.

naive panther
#

the big demolish hits is cool, but channeling is not

tulip oar
#

Does Channeling still allow mobs free hits?

lusty grotto
#

unless if youre colossus

sharp steppe
#

Is colossus ever an option over thane? Haven’t touched it yet

jagged gust
#

Well evaluating IP usage is irrelevant when you're already tracking rage

lusty grotto
#

for keys on farm, sure

zealous goblet
#

thane has so much survivability over it tho

tulip oar
#

It's more dps at the cost of tankiness.

long bronze
#

how meaningful are the rage gen nerfs?

sharp steppe
#

Oh okay

jagged gust
#

less DPS diff since the buffs

lusty grotto
#

not meaningful at all

okay I figured, thanks

Wait, which raid? Naxx, throne, or Ulda?

nocturne spindle

0 rage you over spent and can't fish for procs from revenge

Capped you should be spending it

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

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 ?

lusty grotto
#

hard to say

sweet summit
#

wrist cloak no?

lusty grotto
#

cause it would be bracers cloak but

#

rash cloak exists

sweet summit
#

idk what that does

muted arch
#

where do tanks stand on that priority tho ahah

sweet summit
#

wrist belt then i guess

tulip oar
#

Wrist, and maybe weapon. Cloak from raid is BiS.

lusty grotto
#

so with current itemization it would be

#

bracers belt

muted arch
#

639 weapon will always be better no?

lusty grotto
#

or bracers boots

#

yes myth weapon will always be better

nova pond
#

i could be trippin, i just saw a 7% buff to aoe dmg, ST felt the same just now

muted arch

already got wrist done, maybe was deciding between cloak/belt

5 dummies

lusty grotto
#

that sounds right

woeful ore
#

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

marble night
#

ive been victory rushing it

lusty grotto
#

immunity might work but

marble night
#

heals for most of it

sweet summit
#

zerk shout isn't a dispell

#

npo way that works

lusty grotto
#

no clue why you would bend over for it

sweet summit
#

can see BI working

lusty grotto
#

so yeah Dwarf + Bitter Immunity

woeful ore
#

Shame BI is on a 3 minute CD...

lusty grotto

but no need to talent it

just let the healer handle it

there is a reason the thane builds all go spear

any downsides to making the two embelished pieces wrist/hands?

deft mortar

#

well people got me thinking about the rash cloak

deft mortar
#

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

muted arch
#

yeah but im worried about sinking the 90 gilded into it just to get rash cloak lmao

#

dont care about the cost to produce

New affix a trivial affix?

what about ring?

random herald
tropic marsh
#

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

muted arch
#

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

# sand smelt New affix a trivial affix?

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!

sand smelt
#

I was thinking victory rush might trivialize it, but not sure

woeful ore
#

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

green bronze
#

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

woeful ore
#

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...

green bronze
#

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

woeful ore
#

I'm just worried about an entire pack of fortified mobs healing lol

lusty grotto
#

still not worth a talent point to go immunity

green bronze
#

actually, order doesn't matter at all, ignore what i wrote

tropic marsh
#

Last stand removes it in a pinch?

woeful ore
#

No immunity also has too long of a cd

tropic marsh
#

Isn't it a max HP plus heal?

woeful ore
#

I think it counts as heal at least

lusty grotto

LS doesnt count

would tanks get prio on rash cloak?

woeful ore
#

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.

green bronze
#

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

tropic tangle

rash cloak is infinitely more useful for DPS

not sure why you'd prio to a tank

inner wren

you open it in prot if u need shield or 1h

tribal wharf
#

whats the weekly debuff keys

woeful ore
#

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

deft mortar
#

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

woeful ore
#

Refracting aggression module makes me outright angry it's that bad

deft mortar
#

that until u are outta CDs and gotta pop defensives

#

and the other tank cant taunt for his life

quasi pivot
woeful ore
#

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

deft mortar

ye we arent hitting crit or vers soft cap while maxxing haste

Altho I am getting close to haste

muted arch
#

any good routes ARAK?

deft mortar
long bronze
#

hit w

muted arch
#

way over on %

deft mortar
#

except the first spiders I guess

#

Oh

lusty grotto
#

crit DRs are
10% = 28k
20% = 35k
30% = 42k
40% = 49k
50% = 140k
but you shouldn't be concerned about these, just sim

deft mortar
#

I take right if that helps

#

And I don't touch the last boss platform mobs at all

muted arch
#

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

deft mortar
muted arch
#

then clear second platform

deft mortar
#

unless everyone is like 2.5k+

#

they wont interrupt and they will die xd

muted arch
#

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

mellow quartz
#

Why would you want to invis in Arak? You have to pull extra to not be over count.

muted arch
#

are u sure? im 6% over with what i just said

#

literally only clearing everything that i absolutely have to

barren crane
#

do you have a screenshot of your route in mdt to share here?

#

or a link

mellow quartz
#

Clear left platform, clear boss, clear right, go right side between 1st and 2nd boss and in the end go straight down the middle.

muted arch
mellow quartz
#

You need a little extra for 100% with that

barren crane
#

me too, i can't pull up mdt either atm that's why i was curious ha

muted arch
mellow quartz
#

Yes

muted arch
#

can u send a screen shot

mellow quartz
tribal wharf
#

i have to look up what the new affix does

#

totally fucked up my group

lusty grotto
#

its afflicted 2.0 + grievous

pallid quiver
#

Need to dispell or heal it away

lusty grotto
#

so healer affix

sharp steppe
#

The magic shield from intervene is complete trash or?

muted arch
# mellow quartz

ah strange, never seen someone go down the center before 3rd boss

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
#

not complete trash it adds up

mellow quartz
#

have a shaman in your group and poison cleansing totem will take care of the affix

tribal wharf
#

what type of dispell is it

muted arch
pallid quiver
#

Any

tribal wharf
#

magic i presume? so more work for healer?

mellow quartz
molten gorge
# mellow quartz

Ideally you wanna go left instead of right to avoid 2x the dmg reduction mobs no?

sharp steppe
#

And how exactly does intervene work in pve? Only for physical damage, right? And I need to be in melee

pallid quiver
#

You can bitter immunity it if you really wanted

mellow quartz
#

the DR mobs are to the other mobs around them not the mobs themselves

tribal wharf
#

yeah i mean like what type is the debuff, since it can be removed

mellow quartz
#

so you are just cleaving the other mobs anyway

molten gorge
#

ya but at DR

molten gorge
#

so it's slower

pallid quiver
tribal wharf
#

i see what it does now but

mellow quartz
sharp steppe
pallid quiver
#

Has to be directed at someone usually

#

So if it's an AOE phys damage, generally won't swap the damage over

molten gorge
#

I guess, left path definitely faster tho cause no DR

#

but either works

sharp steppe
#

Oh okay sadgers

molten gorge
#

only going to matter as keys get higher

tribal wharf
#

i dont understand the dispell it part, ya, there is weird stuff where non healers can dispel like 3/4 things

muted arch
molten gorge
#

same with doing the middle at end, the mob scaling on that last mob is going to get rough

tribal wharf
#

but magic is generally from what i understand, healer only

#

or healer mostly

mellow quartz
pallid quiver
mighty valley
pallid quiver
#

Warlocks and Dwarves can also dispell magic, but it's generally mega niche

tired forge
#

Silken chain weaver seems really strong for high keys, or is it bait?

molten gorge
tribal wharf
#

oh, weird, okay

molten gorge
#

as keys get higher

lusty grotto
tribal wharf
#

i'll have to pay attention to it or log it

mighty valley
#

if your group is stretched for dispels we can take bitter immunity

tired forge
mighty valley
#

but it lasts 15 seconds so tons of time

pallid quiver
#

You can also try healing it off with LS + IV

muted arch
#

also are most people going right before second boss of ARAK, i thought left was better?

tribal wharf
#

what i did in th key i was running to test the affix, i found using victory rush was okay for the healing absorb

molten gorge
#

either works

tribal wharf
#

thats the only part of it i knew for sure

molten gorge
#

think left will see more play in the long run

#

but we won't know until we get there

pallid quiver
lusty grotto
pallid quiver
#

You can either heal it off or dispell it

mellow quartz
tribal wharf
#

well, what if you heal yourself and then you arent 100% hp still

molten gorge

#

who ping

mellow quartz
#

we were talking about a guy asking how to pull the dungeon

#

so doubt it was 'high' keys

molten gorge
#

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

mellow quartz
#

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

muted arch
#

im doing 11s, 12s

muted arch
#

just striking up convo to see what others are doing

#

always room for improvement lol

molten gorge
mellow quartz
molten gorge
#

but haven't tried it on 12 there yet, only tried Mists on 12 so far

muted arch
#

hahah

molten gorge
mellow quartz
#

thought it was Agmius

tribal wharf
molten gorge
muted arch
molten gorge
#

and depending on if my healer cries, take it slower to miniboss

#

first one

mellow quartz
#

anyway I timed the route I linked on a +12 holding W with a group from LFG without voice and was easy

molten gorge
#

💪

#

it's definitely one of the more forgiving keys

#

timer in there is lovely

muted arch
#

super forgiving timer

#

NW tight af

mellow quartz
#

cant block or spell block

#

if you do them that small might be fine

#

but they do a lot of dam on +12

molten gorge
#

ya need some CDs, maybe too much on a 12

mellow quartz
#

probably pull more at the start

#

and skip it all together

molten gorge
#

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

mellow quartz
#

just skip most of it

molten gorge
mellow quartz
#

invis pots in pugs at this stage though.....

muted arch
#

fuck idk for pugging

#

yeah exactly haha

molten gorge
#

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

mellow quartz
#

sorry said that route was +12 meant no1 route at +14 on rio

molten gorge
#

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

mellow quartz
#

the 11 to 12 gab is insane

molten gorge
#

for sure

mellow quartz
#

dont have to press a single defensive to time 11s

molten gorge
#

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

mellow quartz
molten gorge
#

fr can see why people play BSV

mellow quartz

actually took damage in a +12

guys i need help 😦 how do i tank nexus princess on heroic difficulty

thinking about it, Ara and DB maybe the play for 12s

very tight though

#

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

keen nymph
#

spell reflect reduces the shadow damage?

sleek current
#

It reduces all magic damage by 25% for 5 seconds

pallid quiver
#

SR reduces all magic damage by 20%

sleek current
#

20%*

pallid quiver
#

Even if you don't reflect anything, it's still a strong defensive option

molten gorge
keen nymph
#

ah didn't know shadow counted as magic damage

pallid quiver
#

Heck, the DR used to go away after you reflected something, and that was actually a negative aspect in some situations

pallid quiver
#

Pretty much, anything that isn't physical damage is magic damage

sleek current
#

Anything that doesn't explictately state "Physical". It's probably magical

keen nymph
#

but ill keep that in mind next time i tank it

thin pollen
pallid quiver
#

Yeah, you can still use SR for the DR, even if it isn't reflectable

mellow quartz
#

You can look all abilities up on wowhead to see the specific data and flags

pallid quiver
#

You just can't reflect/deflect it

thin pollen
#

only issues im coming into

keen nymph
#

thank you all for your input 🙂

proper veldt
#

is tanking heroic court basically the same as normal

sleek current
#

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.

plus they're harder to carry with the cast stop change

im actually surprised they didnt drop max vault rewards to 9s this week

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?

winged oar
#

hows the 25% mountain thane feeling

#

was today right?

karmic plinth
muted arch
karmic plinth
#

youre better off memorising what you can reflect from the sheet but otherwise its safe to send it its a 20s cd

chilly brook
#

but so you snipe SS resets while also sending IP if that was your intent

#

since you can get back to back resets

muted arch
#

yeah but idk that seems really bad to me

chilly brook
#

it's not

jagged gust
#

I used to think so too

muted arch
#

cuz you might want to do something other than shield slam

lusty grotto
#

devastator procs SS

jagged gust
#

you really dont notice it

muted arch
#

with that gcd lol

lusty grotto
#

you dont use it to shield slam

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

you use it to IP

muted arch
#

wym no u wouldnt lol

lusty grotto
#

and there's not a lot of GCDs that are as important as shield slam

pallid quiver
#

if you press it off the GCD, it won't even use it, anyway

chilly brook
#

Exactly what I said

muted arch
#

yeah but like, you're wrong

chilly brook
#

Shield Slam is highest prio

#

put it on CD

pallid quiver
#

So like, the only time that issue comes up is if you want to cast SS

lusty grotto
#

whos wrong?

jagged gust
#

worst case ontario you'll accidentally hit a SS when you wanted to stun something

muted arch
#

exactly

#

stunning something could literally save a life

lusty grotto
#

so like what

proper veldt
#

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?

lusty grotto
#

lol ok

chilly brook
#

Ah yes

pallid quiver
chilly brook
#

theoretical problems that don't happen

pallid quiver
#

and press the stun instead

jagged gust
#

Trust us when we as a community all use the macro and that situation really doesn't happen

pallid quiver
#

Again, if you press the keybind while the GCD is ticking, it won't ever cast SS, since SS is on the GCD

lusty grotto
#

☝️

pallid quiver
#

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

pallid quiver
#

It'll automatically parse the keybind for you

lusty grotto
#

its especially useful in high haste scenarios like lust

chilly brook
#

long answer massive haste neck so definitely yes, and also the proc is nice

#

neck is basically BiS for everyone

edgy bone
#

How good is mad queen's mandate

pallid quiver
#

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

jagged gust
#

staggering your GCD and oGCD really works wonders

edgy bone
#

Choose two:

  • 626 Mad Queen's Mandate
  • 639 Larynx
  • 626 Sacbrood
muted arch
#

idk, this just seems really bad to me

#

well

#

i use it

you can just press SS and IP at the same time

in fact

jagged gust

pallid quiver
#

I don't use the macro myself because I just press both binds at once on my MMO mouse

swift veldt
#

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

lusty grotto
#

from what youre saying
