i need to see what sorts of movements your hands are capable of

I don’t understand alt modifier gamers

That shit feels so bad to press

alt modify is one thing, but alt 6 for our most pressed spell

You decide

there is no way alt-9 is pressble by humans

waxen orbit
#

Yo which do I take?

#

Are myth track shoulders supposedly rare?

#

This goes to everyone not just Nome

dusky canopy
#

Shoulder or meat hook

#

Depends

waxen orbit
#

Is Larynx not cracked?

dusky canopy
#

No that’s hot garbage

dark cosmos
#

myth shoulders imo

lusty grotto
nocturne spindle
#

well

#

the new affix

waxen orbit
dusky canopy
#

If you don’t haven’t shoulders I’d go myth shoulders

nocturne spindle
#

is annoying as fuck if people dont dispel it on rashanan

dusky canopy
#

It’s shit for fury no doubt

waxen orbit
#

Ya Idrc about fury anymore

waxen orbit
#

They kind of fucked my favorite offspec on it

lusty grotto
#

shoulder is not that good for prot? but still a sim question

#

i use em though

#

myth

dusky canopy
#

Either way I’d pick shoulder if you do not already have myth shoulder

lusty grotto
#

cause both arms and fury like it

muted arch
#

if u mythic raid i would take trink

tribal wharf
#

hell, this weeks key affix must be fun for a BDK

lusty grotto
#

shoulders drop from rash anyway

deft mortar
#

timing everything at 11 now

dark cosmos
tribal wharf
#

cuz they can heal like crazy

lusty grotto
#

catalyzed

#

i meant

dark cosmos
#

hooks ok

lusty grotto
#

kraken shell arent bad as is

#

they have haste

dark cosmos
#

ya shoulders give haste at elast

#

^

tribal wharf
#

they are bad

lusty grotto
#

but yeah should sim i guess

tribal wharf
#

kraken = octopus = siege

lusty grotto
#

the problem is there is a better shoulder

tribal wharf
#

siege bad

lusty grotto
#

the ones from CoT

dusky canopy
#

Also better trinkets no?

dark cosmos
#

ya this vault is just kinda bad so what can you do

#

theres better everything

lusty grotto
#

sim, at best

dusky canopy
#

Does Prot use hook that much?

dark cosmos
lusty grotto
#

its fine

#

the problem is

muted arch
#

its replacable by mythic raid trinkets

lusty grotto
#

how likely is he to get myth CoT Shoulders

#

he doesnt raid

#

he doesnt dps

muted arch
#

yeah thats my point

dusky canopy
#

Exactly

lusty grotto
#

so i would pick shoulders tbh

dusky canopy
#

That’s why I recommend shoulders personally

lusty grotto
#

yeah non-catalyzed

#

use as is

dusky canopy
#

Gear ilvl > trinket ilvl

dark cosmos
#

i mean if youll truly never get a raid trinket maybe hook is good but even then id need to look at them all

#

still i say shoulders

dusky canopy
#

Specially for tank

waxen orbit
#

Says Larynx is a 10% dps increase

waxen orbit
tribal wharf
#

its, skill trinket

waxen orbit
#

That's where I'm in agreement

lusty grotto
#

its a toss up

waxen orbit
#

I'm leaning shoulders for what yall are saying

lusty grotto
#

i would send sim, but there's a big caveat

tribal wharf
#

cuz, no main stat all the time buff, and you have to get stacks, that dont reapply the buff, which grants you all the damage

dark cosmos
tribal wharf
#

and so, if you use it wrong time

#

your fucked

#

you have just equipped carrot on a stick

waxen orbit
#

Tru

muted arch
#

like imo hook stands up against all trinkets apart from mythic raid trinkets, and shard/khardros

dark cosmos
#

and again like

#

i mean its valid to sim the trinkets vs the shoulders but

lusty grotto
#

i guess the only way to answer it is, which one would you take advantage of more right now

dark cosmos
#

you can think about those trinkets vs other beter trinkets too

tribal wharf
#

if u dont like larynx get hammer and sac

fossil hedge
#

Hi chat what is this thing should i use it

dark cosmos
#

like ya you dont have a sac right now but you could

#

and then you put this trinket in the garbage

#

feelsweird

waxen orbit
#

Obviously

#

feels best

#

a new trinket to replace the RAM?

lusty grotto
#

then send it

waxen orbit
#

Heat

#

I'm hitting 12s so like

#

Shit would be nice

muted arch
waxen orbit
#

but also the shoulders

#

are myth

dark cosmos
waxen orbit
#

and have longevity

dark cosmos
#

i mean dont just have an unequipped trinket slot, if thats the question

lusty grotto
#

there will be other vaults i guess

dark cosmos
#

ya the shoulders arent bis either to be fair though, although definitely not bad

#

id take shoulders personally

fossil hedge
#

basically i have nothing i am just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on it

lusty grotto
#

you have 2 choices for off-set shoulders, CoT and those

#

so

#

pick shoulders, then hope for trinkets again

muted arch
dark cosmos
plucky sparrow
#

is colossus more competitive for raid now (or does it still lag behind for m prog)?

@strong forum hi

Went w shoulders

dont catalyze em

#

ah

#

😄

waxen orbit
#

Hot fuckin garbage itemization on those shoulders

tribal wharf
#

bring back reforging

waxen orbit
#

They'll never listen to you

dark cosmos
#

i have actual prank shoulders rn

waxen orbit
#

Oof

dark cosmos
#

its ok next weeks vault will be different!!!

#

im due!

muted arch
lusty grotto
#

since day 1

#

of tww

waxen orbit
lusty grotto
#

better damagewise

#

so better

#

(:

#

probably best to not use in prog

muted arch
#

logs showed it on par for almost every fight

#

but has the changed?

waxen orbit
#

Most players are hot garbage

#

Look at the top ones

#

All colossus p much

muted arch
#

yeah top ones i mean

#

mythic not heroic

#

let me check again idk

lusty grotto
#

logs change

waxen orbit
#

That's because it's prog rn and we're severely undergeared

#

On raw paper

lusty grotto
#

like i told Scatter, week 1 logs dont mean shit

waxen orbit
#

Colossus does perform better

#

but beginning of a tier

#

you will always encounter unreliable data

#

in logs

lusty grotto
zealous goblet
#

so here's a question, how are you guys simming so low versus a 20 year old boss? you know i heroic throw patchwerk for 20mil right?

lusty grotto
#

ok

zealous goblet
#

haha get it patchwerk is a naxxramas boss

lusty grotto
#

that one made me laugh

zealous goblet
#

gotem

waxen orbit
#

That's clever

lusty grotto
#

here you go 🪙

zealous goblet
#

fling enough shit on the wall and eventually something sticks

tribal wharf
zealous goblet
#

that or you drop your standards enough to enjoy me

waxen orbit
#

You should apply to be the new warrior class dev with that mentality

tribal wharf
#

3 hunter key, i wonder why

dark cosmos
waxen orbit
#

You'd fit right in

zealous goblet
muted arch
#

yeah top 100 are like 65% colossus

#

so i wouldnt think its like infinitely better

waxen orbit
#

Colossus is also better in terms of damage profile because of the fact that not only is sustained damage higher, it has way higher burst

#

and specifically on add fights, that introduces a large amount of control

zealous goblet
#

dont cast it during a tankbuster or something though or you'll die

#

or a roott

mighty valley
#

it doesn't stop you from using cds, just from moving

zealous goblet
#

or uh, a frontal, rather, not a tank buster

muted arch
waxen orbit
#

Ya just don't cast it when you need to move

zealous goblet
#

yeah i meant to say a frontal

#

shoutout to the 2nd pack of siege pulling all my teammates in into a frontal with no reaction time

#

most based way to brick a key

waxen orbit
jagged gust
#

oh yeah, would never find myself in that situation after having 2 entire seasons of practice with a similar ability, nope

muted arch
#

so the bit of extra tank dmg with colosus would be outweighed by survivability

waxen orbit
#

Ya I mean as with everything it really just depends on how fast your DPS kill shit, and how well your healers play

zealous goblet
#

but literally all my dps died lmao

#

i had heroic leap i was fine

muted arch
#

like the 4 ez bosses are about 65% colosus, but broodtwister and beyond is 100% mountain thane atm

waxen orbit
#

80% of the bottlekneck you will experience as a tank player, historically speaking, comes from your healers

inner wren
#

@merry sluice need you to hit me with that mists pull ss

muted arch
#

scroll down?

sharp gale
#

To see your top 100 on broodtwister and kyv

jagged gust
#

Hah I read that wrong, thought you said 2nd boss, a fdk literally just yanked both adds into melee and blew the entire group up

waxen orbit
muted arch
waxen orbit
#

If you're not bottle-knecked, Colossus is better

sharp gale
muted arch
#

ah shit hahaha

#

damn now im curious what the actual stats are

sharp gale
#

I don’t need to explain what a statistic means when there is only 1 or 2 dudes

muted arch
#

i mean im curious what the stat would be if all the private logs were public

sharp gale
muted arch
#

you think so tho? cuz kyv is much easier

#

id expect more mountain thane at this point in prog

sharp gale
#

(I’m not counting tuning ofc since logs are outdated now)

waxen orbit
#

Btw

#

I saw people saying that

#

apparently

#

swarmlord's is good?

#

for keys?

muted arch
#

i mean harder fight = more raid damage = better to have tankier tank to allow healers to focus on raid more

shrewd ore
#

it is on high keys yes

waxen orbit
#

Is that worth running over Reactive Aggression Module?

shrewd ore
#

its the best tank trinket

waxen orbit
#

Got it

#

I'll try it on this 11 mists

#

Is it less dam tho?

#

because I'm not really struggling to live stuff

shrewd ore
#

its used for the shield so ofc its less dam

waxen orbit
#

RAM is too is why I ask

#

I figure RAM is only better because it's a str trinket and not secondary

shrewd ore
#

swarmlord is just on demand 4mil shield

#

and some trickle heal

#

in between

sharp gale
waxen orbit
#

I take it that's flimsy

lusty grotto
#

its just a nice to have

#

not huge

#

similar to rageheart

muted arch
lusty grotto
#

that will change

muted arch
#

agree

lusty grotto
#

MT is good for progging

#

but on farm, some of those might swap to parse higher

muted arch
#

yeah i agree, im still seeing top parsers running mountain thane tho on the earlier bosses

#

so it doesnt seem like colossus is blowing thane out of the water

lusty grotto
#

its not a massive difference

sharp gale
lusty grotto
#

just min maxy to go colossus

#

yea lol dont worry there will be more logs soon

#

RWF has been over

muted arch
#

top guilds dont public log anyway

#

even after race

#

cuz they dont want poachers lol

lusty grotto
#

yeah

muted arch
#

gunna have to wait til lower end guilds get to that point in prog

sharp gale
odd delta
#

Hey guys, does prot warrior get buffed with the new mountain thain buffs as well?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

slightly but yes

odd delta
#

Aww, was hoping big buffs. Ty

lusty grotto
#

a buff is a buff

#

no reason to be sad about it

#

its around 5% to 7% in aoe, napkin math numbers though

#

im sure nome will chime in with the exact increase

odd delta
#

5 to 7? Damn I'll take that. Prot warriors seem pretty meta so that's great

sharp gale
lusty grotto
#

yeah our damage is pretty mid

#

it could get close to higher dps tanks though, slightly

edgy bone
#

Choose two:

  • 626 Mad Queen's Mandate
  • 639 Larynx
  • 626 Sacbrood
sharp gale
#

It’s the same reason dh tank was meta bc magic dmg comps

lusty grotto
#

one of the reasons

#

but yea

sharp gale
#

One yes sry but it’s just to illustrate with an example

sick sentinel
#

This is probably a super noob prot question but I'm learning cos it's a PITA to get into Fury keys rn lol:

#

For bosses with lots of adds (eg. 2nd boss of NW), how do you grab aggro for the 2nd group since mass-taunt is on CD?

#

Just charge/run to each one and pick em up?

lusty grotto
#

clap

#

if youre colossus revenge, if youre thane clap

sharp gale
#

My friend seems to go mad tagging 12s as fury but maybe it’s just the 12 hell in general

sharp gale
sick sentinel
#

Yee, learnt the corner taunt trick

edgy bone
#

Do we use mad queens mandate on cooldown?

sick sentinel
#

Does it matter if it's stairs corner or the other corner?

sharp gale
#

When they spawn you can already turn and start hitting them

shrewd ore
#

yes u use it on c

#

cd

edgy bone
shrewd ore
#

u can even do pre-pull

#

and charge while channeling

edgy bone
#

I doubt we use double on-use as prot right

#

so it's either laryx or mandate

sharp gale
sick sentinel
# lusty grotto clap

yeah, I tried this but I'm also super undergeared as tank so it was hard to get aggro with just clap

shrewd ore
#

double on use can sim better

#

but idk with larynx

sick sentinel
#

I think some of it was just exprience, it's intense when they're all up and you're a noob and panicing haha

lusty grotto
#

thats the most important one

#

for threat

sick sentinel
#

... 593 sadga

#

with a LFR shield lol

lusty grotto
#

oh

tribal wharf
sharp gale
#

Oof

tribal wharf
#

does loads of dmg

lusty grotto
#

yeah youre gonna have issues hehe

sick sentinel
#

BUT I did get a 1H from a NW Fury 10+ run where i set it to Prot Loot spec

#

and I pugged Normal Raid and got a better shield first boss lol

#

So I'm on my way

#

Funniest was I forgot to switch out the dagger stats trinket

lusty grotto
#

ok so why arent you using it

sick sentinel
#

I only just got it!

waxen orbit
#

Hold on so

#

Larynx is good?

lusty grotto
#

oh

marble compass
#

How's meat hook? Is it an alright trinket nowadays

lusty grotto
#

yeah larynx is good

sick sentinel
#

And at one point my vers got the -1500 treatment, and the boss was chunking me 😆

lusty grotto
#

meat hook is good as well

tribal wharf
#

both larynx and hook are great

#

with limitations

#

that make them meh

lusty grotto
#

vers isnt making you hurt

#

or lack of

#

its your gameplay

sick sentinel
#

hmm, maybe I missed a tank buster or something

sharp gale
lusty grotto
#

what boss is this?

#

and difficulty

worthy ingot
#

636 weap or shield a better first craft? same ilvl increase in both slots

sick sentinel
#

hmm, first boss of SV I think? was a 6+

shrewd ore
#

depends on if u wanna surviva or do dmg

marble compass
#

I'd imagine meat hook would be decent enough on big trash mobs or bosses in 10+

lusty grotto
#

and/or walling it when spell block is on cd and not on

sick sentinel
#

ahhh, yeah that'd do it

#

Is it just spell-block or can you reflect as well?

#

plus it was my friend off-healing so he was prob missing the debuff

lusty grotto
#

also make sure SB is up as close to 100% of the time as you can humanly do

#

spell block without SB up is leaving it up to chance, just FYI

sick sentinel
#

gotcha

deft mortar
#

ngl spell block aint it

lusty grotto
#

nothing is reflectable there, but the magic DR helps

deft mortar
#

spell reflect and shield wall is enough

#

and aoe stuns

sick sentinel
#

that reminds me, need to go get a WW spell reflect weakaura announcer thingy

#

@lusty grotto why the hell does my iphone shoot lasers all over the screen and vibrate when I type “pew pew” in a text lmao

sick sentinel
#

that was super useful even as fury in DF and SL

lusty grotto
#

the smash no

#

the beam yes

sharp gale
#

Oh that

dusky canopy
#

I messaged “pew pew” to an android guy

#

And it did that

lusty grotto
#

lol

waxen orbit
#

Okay wait

dusky canopy
#

I’m like????

waxen orbit
#

so did I fuck myself

#

by taking the shoulders

#

over Larynx?

lusty grotto
#

nah

waxen orbit
#

Is it really taht snatched?

sharp gale
#

Pew pew

lusty grotto
#

you didnt cause you have a lot of trinket options

dusky canopy
#

Larynx is meh

#

It wouldn’t work in discord happy

lusty grotto
#

larynx is good but its not "i should uninstall the game cause i didnt pick it" good

dusky canopy
#

It has to be the default messaging app

shrewd ore
#

i'd never pick a non bis trinket in vault idk

#

feels useless

deft mortar

tried helping out people on their NW 5 key

#

heyo i wanted to know how the hero talent No Stranger to Pain work? im not really understanding if it add to 15% the mitigated damage from ignore pain or simply buff 15% the shield you get for it

How is the affix for us

cause its a healer or hybrid problem

thanks for the answers guys 😄

lusty grotto
#

but the kiss is for sure very nice 🙂

#

And I love kisses

How often does the affix go out

sharp gale
#

I guess same as others

waxen orbit

#

Can see a pug missing a few and 10% healing on a boss sounds roughhh

waxen orbit
#

Okay 11 mists done

#

Normal swarmlord def pretty decent

#

Makes you invincible after use

#

Don't ask what that druid was doing idk

#

Pretty decent, if it's outpacing Indom

sharp gale
waxen orbit
#

Idrc ab that man it's the healing that matters

#

Couldn't do a basic double pull because of it

lusty grotto
#

was probably dealing with the affix

#

17 deaths

waxen orbit
zealous goblet
#

if i wanted to track taunt refractor how would i go about that?

zealous goblet
#

because its not an onuse so my weakaura dont pick it up

#

unless he was healing it

waxen orbit
#

I have a WA

#

for it

zealous goblet
#

oh

#

pass it over?

#

:o

#

or is it homemade

waxen orbit

#

remember nome has a trinket tracker too

waxen orbit

waxen orbit
#

Surely 460k HPS is an issue right?

#

Not trying to flame

#

Just trying to pinpoint

lusty grotto
#

idk, i havent done keys today

zealous goblet
sharp gale
#

Had a healer 500k hps overall on mists 0 deaths, overall hps means nothing, big hps means something went wrong

zealous goblet
#

when i looked around

waxen orbit
#

Because we wiped on a pull that I do routinely

zealous goblet
#

must've missed it

waxen orbit
#

twice

lusty grotto
#

im not exactly sure how the affix is affecting overall healing and damage for heals

waxen orbit
#

because I was doing 1.1mil hps on myself

#

and getting none

lusty grotto
#

but obviously it will affect it

waxen orbit
#

Okay ya I mean maybe just affix

#

Eh it's whatever

#

It's just a rando 11 nbd

lusty grotto
#

probably bad healer heh

#

just mentioned it because it should be considered though

edgy bone
#

Could anyone explain why mad queens mandate is good

waxen orbit
#

Raw damage

#

It's a nuke

#

Beacon logic

karmic plinth
#

highest damage on use

edgy bone
#

Yeah but versus larynx

#

i'll sim it and show you

zealous goblet
#

is there a weakaura to tie taunt to charge

#

or uh

#

macro

waxen orbit
#

Don't do that

#

Press them separately

nocturne spindle
#

if your charging something it should be being thunderclapped and you should have agro

#

taunt should be saved for mobs that get away

zealous goblet
#

why not? taunt is free

#

i meant to say taunt everytime i charge

nocturne spindle
#

because if you taunt something your hitting you will not have taunt for the thing you are not hitting

zealous goblet
#

if im gonna use refractor im gonna want to get that shield up

nocturne spindle
#

which is way more likely to kill a dps

zealous goblet
#

naw if that happens thats on me for not thunderclapping or something or challenging shouting

tawny briar
#

Out of curiosity, what's the rational behind playing spear over roar this teir.

zealous goblet
#

also its literally recommended in the opener to taunt as you charge

sharp gale
upbeat niche
#

Sorry I hope there is enough nuance to this question to avoid the "just sim it" response:

I currently have 619 crafted shield with embellishment.

There is a 623 myth track shield in my GV. Sim shows the 623 shield as a 0.5% decrease, but do you guys think the added defensive value of the armor (+600) and stam (+520) make it the right call? Also helps the ilvl a bit for whatever we want to deem that is worth.

sharp gale
#

If you don’t have aggro on 1 add and it kills someone, yes you are right it’s on you but because you had taunt on cd

karmic plinth

if u are likely to kill mythic ulgrax u can maybe leave it but its probably worth grabbing

lusty grotto

☝️

#

It’s cheaper in crests to upgrade a myth track than to craft

lusty grotto
#

That's the only nuance

upbeat niche

Appreciate the input everyone. Unfortunately it's crit verse, but I'm finally just about at the point I should be able to start banging out +9s and get these gilded crests

Whether you can reliably kill m ulgrox or not

Okay warriors! Do I take Bitter Immunity for the affix? Or, do I just let others handle it? XD

but if you feel it will, then do it

up to you really

#

your loss

#

but putting a talent point into something that you can only use every 3 mins is not the best idea, id say

#

warlocks can dispel themselves if they run imp, but good luck telling them that

lusty grotto
#

oh lol true

remote frost
#

how do i regain threat when my enh/frostdk still rips me 3 mobs after mt?

lusty grotto
#

aoe taunt

#

taunt -> leap + taunt

#

since leap resets it

#

also

#

pump harder

#

get a better weapon

remote frost
#

k ill vault it in 5 hours

#

ty

lusty grotto
#

haha

#

thats the spirit

#

but i mean you can just craft one

remote frost
#

ur right ill craft one and vault sackbrood instead

whole umbra
#

Question crit/haste main hand or haste/vers/leech mainhand?

karmic plinth
#

whichever is higher ilvl

#

if theyre the same sim it

shrewd ore
#

would take leech one if same ilvl

#

but haste/crit probs sims 100 dps higher

pastel sleet
#

i was never dispelled once

whole umbra
#

I know it will sim higher, but I guess I am wondering if the leech is worth it

pastel sleet
#

literally just went off every time

whole umbra
#

also they are same ilvl

warm plinth
#

Tertiaries are never the deciding factor on gear unless you're comparing identical items.

karmic plinth
#

if u would rather take the one with leech its not he end of the world going for haste vers over haste crit

#

is that trinket good enough? Im using spelunker and wax plating atm.

i havent been in BDF since cataclysm holy fuck

i wonder what is causing it

No player named 'Nimchip-BlackDragonflight' is currently playing.

Altoholic or some datastore addon?

if i don't raid and only get gear through m+, do i pick up a +16 ilvl shield or +39 ilvl boots

mellow quartz
#

Both myth track?

woeful jetty
#

both hero tracks

mellow quartz
#

Just take boots and craft a shield

woeful jetty
#

gotcha thanks. I'm assuming crafting shield prio over sword if both are same ilvl?

mellow quartz
#

Shield over all

#

Craft it at 636 if you can or recraft it to that level later

🫡 sounds good

I'm sure this has been asked a bunch of times, but is swamlord's authority actually that bad for us?

hey, does anyone have the macro for targeting target with intervene?

warm plinth
#

You don't need a macro to target your target with Intervene o_o

chrome mirage
#

Yeah idk what you mean by that question tbh

#

Is intervene at focus?

bronze wraith
#

how do I do that without swapping target?

chrome mirage
#

#showtooltip
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] Charge; [@mouseover,help,nodead] [help] Intervene; Charge

#

This is what I use

warm plinth
#

Are you wanting to target your focus or what?

bronze wraith
#

yes

chrome mirage
#

just mouseover a target and it will intervene

#

works on frames

#

and shares keybind with charge

warm plinth
#

#showtooltip
/cast [@focus]Intervene

hi folks, do we have any guides on the talent after the nerf updates?

pastel remnant
#

what the % uptime of ignore pain should i focus to have? in raid

fluid widget
#

probably depends on the fight

pastel remnant
#

in general ? if i have something like 50% if not enough?

chilly brook
#

caring

#

about

#

IP

#

This isn't Legion anymore

#

IP is just a rage dump

pastel remnant
#

im asking cause im dying on queen in heroic and the other tank told me my up time on IP is too low and that why..i should focus to have 90%..i found taht too high

chilly brook
#

He doesn't know what he's talking about

#

We'd need logs to see why you're dying but it's not because of IP

dense goblet
#

love them taking adds off logs on Rash'anan, filling in for our tank this week and our raid leaves them around for a minute straight and theyre biting me for 5mil a second

pastel remnant
#

@chilly brook of a wype on queen or a kill of tonight?

chilly brook
pastel remnant
chilly brook
#

You're also not blocking everything

#

no blocked hits on this pull

#

Or the one after it

#

Consistently throughout all the pulls you're at 70% or below blocked hits

#

That's bad

pastel remnant
#

how can i be better with that?

#

bad use of shield block ?

chilly brook
#

By making sure you have this up anytime you're actively tanking the boss

#

And also not turning your back to the boss

pastel remnant
#

more shield block?

fluid widget
chilly brook
fluid widget
#

i had 90% block uptime but only 75% melee hits blocked for a fight

#

ty for helping me figure that out

chilly brook
#

you have really low shield block uptime

pastel remnant
#

@chilly brook it is possible to keep it up all time even iuf its 13sec CD and uits 6 sec duration?

chilly brook
#

Most of the time yes

#

Not 100% of the time

#

but a majority of the time

#

You and the DK should be swapping who gets what tank buster tbh

fluid widget
#

do you not have enduring defense?

chilly brook
#

He should probably take liquefy and you should probably take feast

chilly brook
#

I would probably swap that back to Enduring Defense

pastel remnant
#

yeah i will

chilly brook
#

You're struggling with the basics, I wouldn't be going max pumper build

pastel remnant
#

i will make a weak aura to track my shield to be sure to see when he goes off

chilly brook
#

You're also making it harder for yourself

#

You're sending Shield Wall randomly

#

If you're going to take Liquefy you should be using it on every Liquefy

#

shield slam casts look really low

#

On the 3rd wipe they just let you rot out

#

Anyways, TLDR you need to be blocking every hit you possibly can. You need to work on pressing shield slam more. You need to try sending your defensive CDs in spots where it makes sense, i.e. right before the big tank buster. You really need to work on your ABC's (always be casting)/sending your offensive CDs as often as possible. You're not wasting rage which sounds good on paper but that also means you're just not generating anywhere near the rage you should be.

pastel remnant
#

well ok..i will check that! thx alot!

#

@chilly brook should i stay in mountain to start in raid to leanr correctly everthing?

fresh kernel
#

fellas what's the deal with silken chain weaver

#

the trinket from delves, seems powerful

pastel remnant
#

@chilly brook is it possible to practice on a dummy for like 5min and show you the log to see if its better?

chilly brook
#

Probably not me, there's some better guys out here for this like @lusty grotto or @jagged pier, I'm not currently playing Prot but I know basic things to look for

quasi pivot
fresh kernel
#

why did you @inner wren :D

plush tendon
#

gentlemen, my first vault question for yall

chilly brook
#

attack speed slow

plush tendon
#

trinket or 2h sword

chilly brook
#

on melee heavy packs

#

on the best class to deal with melee

#

🤔

plush tendon
chilly brook
#

Please explain

fresh kernel
plush tendon
#

trinket would be cool, but I want Sac and Mark me thinks

#

but 2h would let me fury.... but who knows how many times Ill get to fury

chilly brook
#

@quasi pivot I need more explanation on your choice

plush tendon
fresh kernel
#

on 1 min cd

fresh kernel
quasi pivot
quasi pivot
fresh kernel
#

out of curiosity, does it show up on details? the absorb

quasi pivot
#

Yes

fresh kernel
#

how much % is it usually at of your overall healing after a full m+ dungeon

#

ballpark

quasi pivot
#

It reads like it's an absorb per target, but it's an absorb on you that is removed in chunks by each webbed mob as they attack you

#

At least that's how the debuffs look

fresh kernel
#

yea seems a little confusing

quasi pivot
#

I think Blizz are too scared to give substantial shields or mit to tank trinkets because they could be used by off specs in annoying ways

fresh kernel
#

is the "up to 952004" cap on each hit individually, or is it total from all sources?

quasi pivot
#

Not sure, I'll need to test i think it's the total absorb pool, it's essentially a mini IP

#

Takes 30% of hits from webbed mobs until depleted

fresh kernel
#

that makes it substantially worse than what i thought

sacred flare
fresh kernel
quasi pivot
fresh kernel
#

@quasi pivot ok lastly, how did u farm it?

quasi pivot
#

T8 vault reward

#

Was a particularly bad vault a few weeks ago so I ended up taking it since it was a huge level jump over my 606 trinket and had an on-use that I liked the sound of

orchid mural
#

Sup all - any thoughts on this trinket? I know how to read blood mallet etc., so not looking to be told SacBrood is better.

Does the shield do significant mitigation over a dungeon? anyone test this thing? many thanks

fresh kernel
#

sounds like a nightmare to play with

#

seems like it encourages chain pulling

jagged gust
#

nothing wrong with that

violet ginkgo
#

not significant but I mean nice QOL to have? doesn't need to be chain pulling because after leaving combat you still have shield and put a slight less burden toward healer.

Nothing gamebreaking but just nice qol.

#

wtf

gritty pecan
#

any opinion on this? got hero chest, champion swarmlord trinket and hero trakc foul bemouth's

#

is refracting good enough for me to take it?

violet ginkgo
#

trinket is not good though.

fluid widget
#

No

violet ginkgo
#

I mean it only work for taunt and has 1 min CD? you usually swap taunt quite often below 1 min for raid.

gritty pecan
#

this would be for m+

zealous goblet
#

since you need 2 at a the level to upgrade others for free

#

and used the trinket a bit

gritty pecan
zealous goblet
violet ginkgo
#

I'd take chest, chest myth upgrade is quite big.

zealous goblet
#

i'd take chest too

#

i regretted my decision because of how quickly i got hero trinkets and that was week 1 of vault

#

should be even easier with alll this gear

#

btw fellas, for the 1st pull of ara kara, city of echoes, do you guys pull to the 1st spider miniboss.... thing? or no?

#

and lmk your key level

we pick that trinket right ?

It's too risky

you're better off not doing it all the way

yeah that's how i felt but i wanted to make sure

I think a very specific comp of balance Aug unholy could do it crazy style even as pug

i'm doing 10/11s too

I need help understanding what’s happening on ansureks platforms and what the correct counterplay is. I’ve been flying by leap and charge and praying.

burnt bane
#

thoughts on which empowered gem to use? I see every guide says crit effect but i feel like move speed getting slept on? or is movespeed just unessecary

wooden widget
#

Do move speed. Swap speed enchants for leech. Take the boot in class tree.

primal narwhal
#

Why do u need the extra movespeed when you can charge/intervene/heroic leap

wooden widget
#

Cuz small movements sometimes are necessary. It allows your eyes and brain to hover on dps buttons a millisecond longer

jagged gust
#

speed is uptime

primal narwhal

I mean if you believe that you need it then it's up to you.

Skarmorak Shard vs. Mark of Khardros. Opinions? If you have both, hypothetically.

i won't immediately dismiss you i just want to contextualize the pull a bit in my mind

11

zealous goblet
# wicked pollen 11

gotcha. im doing 10s an 11s with friends and our group eats shit every time

wicked pollen
#

and we are playing bear aug enhance/ele frost resto sham

zealous goblet
#

so i'm trying to piece together stuff

wicked pollen
#

we are planning on pushing for title so 11 was just 1st time playing

sick sentinel
#

We did that in 8/9s and when I was dps it felt horrible. No spear to keep them in place, no Druid for vortex. Idk. If you’re 3x ranged it’s probably fine. esp as bear you can just keep them out of melee as they die.

wicked pollen
#

?

#

our group is fine

sick sentinel
#

Ok

#

Just having a conversation

#

Lmfao

wicked pollen
#

only problem in our group is that i showed up 20 ilevels below

sick sentinel
#

Nice.

zealous goblet
#

our problem is they all fall over, and i tried breaking it up into 2 pulls (i dismount, get threat, then leap to spider and 2 casters)

#

and we still fall over

wicked pollen
#

are you getting kicks

simple drum
wicked pollen
#

the only thing we had to figure out in ara kara is how to do the 1st boss iwth 2 melee

#

and the aug skip

zealous goblet
#

because as a tank i shrug it off

#

and i don't play dps

#

so like, im not sure what actually hurts for the lil guys

#

i just know i'm using MY kicks and stuff

off sims now MT beating colossus in all damage?

ngl i fall over just running to that giga pull so i split it >_<

on my sims MT is slaughtering colossus in all aspects. over 50k ahead for 3min ST fight

but thats just pressing personal and healer being aware

hi new to prot what stats should i get on my crafted shield?

wicked pollen
#

haste crit prob

#

but sim it

simple void
#

Sorry if this is have been asked before, but is Void Pactstone better then Ara-Kara egg? For me at least it sims higher for AoE and single target.

#

That is even with a 610 Void Pactstone and a 616 Egg.

wicked pollen
#

then it sims better

anyone got a colossus build I could try in m+?

isnt that trinket nerfed for prot

not to mention having to play the bozo games

and ara kara

every dps trink is nerfed. the corrosive organ is

#

i think transmitter is on prot table tho so u get full buff. i have it and it doesnt change value

#

am i dreaming or my crafted 1 hand prot weapon is giving me free upgrade on 2 hands

acoustic dew
#

What the fuck do I take

#

the trinket right

tawdry dirge
#

nieche trinket imo not often that you need the shield straight after taunt if u have other options i would go for that

helm has socket

aren't people running the tank trinket?

#

Foul Behemoth?

autumn cosmos
#

Any thoughts? I feel cucked.

heavy wigeon
#

im not an expert. the corrosive organ is direct damage and is nerfed for me in prot. it also isnt on prots loot table have to roll as dps

#

transmitter is on prots table so makes sense it wouldnt be nerfed

mellow robin

oof

#

eugh any thoughts - simming but trink is gonna sim low anyway

absolute trash

For now I never opened my vault as prot spec

sharp steppe
#

if i can get myth track weapon from vault i basically always do that right?

sharp gale
sharp steppe
#

so i gues sits weapon

#

nvm i crafted mainhang with heroic crest lol

#

so i guess its legs cause i upgrade weapon to myth

reef hazel
rich storm
#

is the trinket from Stonevault good?

sharp gale
#

Weapon yes unless you have the crafted one, you can catalyst any other legs that could drop in the future

#

I have the crafted weapon+shield so I don’t need anything in vault as prot spec

#

For now

zealous goblet
#

anyone know how many gilded crests one can expect per week?

#

is it 90?

bleak breach
#

90 each week, but total cap goes up. So if you haven’t reached weekly cap I think it’s at 450 total atm

reef hazel
#

nahh - anyone know how borked ceaseless swarmgland is in sim?

winged aurora
#

with the changes to collossus today, hows it comparing to thane for warrior tank in m+?

unkempt hazel
#

detachable fang

#

meant to put that in search deadge

ionic fern
bleak breach
#

The issue now is the buff to Thane damage put it above Colossus in everything

#

So colossus really isn’t optimal for anything anymore.

#

Less survivability and less damage

keen plank
#

Bitter Immunity worth for the affix this week? Feels like 3 minutes is far too long to be worthwhile.

zealous goblet
primal narwhal
zealous goblet
#

you are absolutely right on it being too long for it to be worth it

#

i'm just curious what you would drop

keen plank
#

I'd probably drop Rumbling Earth. It's nice to have, but doesn't make or break keys. But probably not worth it to only get 1 of every 3 affix casts.

inner hound
#

How much does it absorb on a 10?

gritty eagle
bleak breach
#

I always try to bring a shaman in my group to some extent because of how powerful their buff is to us. So shouldn’t be too much stress for us

keen plank
#

Way too much for us to meaningfully interact with it. 😂

gritty eagle
#

have rings on 619, belt on 619, legs arealdy on 623

#

any thoughts?

bleak breach
#

Otherwise socket

#

I assume your 623 legs are myth rank?

gritty eagle
#

no

jagged pier
#

u take myth piece tier

gritty eagle
#

so i thought legs might be the best pick anyway

reef hazel
#

It's really neck if it Sims best, even with no primary stat? - ilevel is equal.

gritty eagle
#

@jagged pier so legs -> catalyze even if i dont save any crests on that?

jagged pier
#

i mean u shouldnt have boosted hero track legs to 623 in the first place

gritty eagle
#

aha y, went for quick upgrades (since it was +4 ilvls) last week

bleak breach
#

Yeah legs in that case, I’d assumed 623 meant you were running myth tier

gritty eagle
#

alright thanks, y i wasnt clear on that

reef hazel
cold mountain
#

I would like to make the classic question...

compact nymph
#

For our gems, should we just go 1 Diamond and then full Haste/Crit gems? And not care about the "Unique Algari gem color" effect?

bleak breach
cloud ermine
#

Why is mastery so low rated when it helps dps and damage reduction so much?

bleak breach
#

It’s not low rated

#

Other stuff is just better, it’s not bad.

jagged pier
cloud ermine
#

Ah okay thanks

#

Also does spell block do anything for dots?

jagged pier
#

depends on the dot

#

its in the sheet in the pins

gritty eagle
#

what do you guys generally think about the sparks we receive at this point? seems you might aswell just dump all the crest you have into myth tier pieces rather than crafting 636, at least if you already have 2 embellishments?

sweet summit
#

yeah that sounds like a good plan

gritty eagle
#

myth pieces* is what i meant btw

sweet summit
gritty eagle
#

that means we might end up sitting on sparks quite a while i guess, feels a little boring

icy flax
#

Did colossus get any DMG buffs besides the bleeds choice node

proud sable
#

Is mad queens mandate any good? or should i just take the helm

jagged pier
#

u should only really craft your emblishments

#

and thats it

gritty eagle
#

y thats what i mean :/

compact nymph
floral summit
#

swarmgland or chest? really cant decide 😄

jagged pier
#

well as swarmlords it pretty bad

#

and the chest is myth track

graceful kite
#

Got another larynx in vault

floral summit
#

yea but any myth track chest will be good later on

#

while the other tank trinkets other than swarmlord are pretty ass no?

jagged pier
#

they are all bad

graceful kite
#

Btw exact thing I was arguing about happened

#

Got socketed haste mastery bracers with leech in vault

#

what 1H enchant do we generally want?

Are we still playing thorims might after hotfixes or are we playing the 30% more lightning strikes now

lost canyon
#

any thoughts on this? i have crafted weapons and i was thinking to get oppresive orator's larynx

green bronze
#

you just get authority of the depths if you want damage, and radiant authority if you want combination of damage and survivability

Can we spell reflect the pulling-singularity ability on the last boss of ara Kara?
