you always want to have shield block up 100% of every fight you take
Is there any way to pull the extra mists maze pack at the start of the maze as a warrior?
I got a weak aura bar for both of them and just spam my shield block, and use charge/shield charge/thunderclap to generate rage for ignore pain
Dps shammies can also do it, it’s a pretty fotm class so you can usually snag one
Don’t think so ( ask your dps friends only
I’m doing +7s ilvl 592, which is pretty low but as long as you have your defensives up and you play around that you are really tanky
dang
I haven’t had success pulling the extra pack before second boss either, since you need 40 range ability
Anyone got a good profile for omnicd?
The moment you move as tank after pulling "DPS:WORST TANK EVER CAN YOU STOP MOVING"
you don't kite the next pack and die "DPS:WORST TANK WHY DO YOU DIE NICE DEPLETE DELETE GAME YOU MORON"
Bah who cares about dps yapping
The "everybody can do mechanics" are the worst.
Because everybody wants somebody to do it so nobody ends up doing it
Just run Colossus to shut them up by doing more damage than most of em. 
That is indeed true.. Thane just feels so goddamn sturdy
I mean in pugs, in Teams I do think Colo is better.
But also dependent on dungeon and gear and everything else
Anyone else dealing with issues with shamans lightning ripping aggro? Like even mid pull
Hi protpals. Which healers do you like/dislike most excluding shammy. I wanna level one.
If they tempest 2 or 3x in a row due to rng it might happen
Okay so it’s a design fail. I was wasting a way every taunt ability I have and it was doing nothing while they ate him alive
Idk monks in pugs maybe? I think disc is considered the second best but I find my random disc priests often struggle to top the group up
Otherwise pallies
So far worst has been priest pallies and occasional Druid.
Yeeh I don’t get druids, they spent have the time in form so you can’t even see their mana lol
We avoiding crafting the shield at this point? Or worth?
If it's enhance there's a 20 percent chance for their maelstrom to not be spent so if they spam like 4 Max spenders in a row they might get aggressive. Can't think of anything else
Shield isn't recommended for first 2 but if you have spare sparks and no good shield, may as well
Recommended list is an ideal world
Yeah I'm lacking a good shield drop 😐
Yeah there's no problem crafting it if you have resources that wouldn't go better els3whete. But remember the first boss drops a shield so you could try mythic raid pug
And pray
I was thinking about disc and pally. Mist seems difficult
First and last boss drops shield
So pugging shouldn’t be too hard if you pray hard
Time walking drops a shield
And there’s a rep vendor that drops a veteran shield
Time walking doesn’t drop myth track shield tho
I am guessing he is talking about 636 shield no?
realllly feeling those rage regeneration nerfs from thane :/
Oh you want myth 😂 good luck
I settled on hero, if I get better I get better but I hold no breath
I’m still rocking adventurer sacbrood because a better won’t drop
Hello guys,
For +12+ which trinket is the best one ?
https://www.wowhead.com/item=219314/ara-kara-sacbrood
Or
https://www.wowhead.com/item=225638/spelunkers-waning-candle
This blue trinket of item level 437 goes in the "Trinket" slot. It is looted and a quest reward. In the Trinkets category. Added in World of Warcraft: The War Within.
Sac
Have you simed it? Is a random hero track 619 trinket not better?
I mean for tanking, as the candle give you parry.
I just would like to have a better resistance to trash mainly
What build are you running? Wowhead or yodas +12

Post it?
It’s echo branded, but probably just for marketing
Those are same as wowhead essentially
Maybe some differences I can’t tell
It looks good
I wouldn't run a Yoda build in a -2
Why? The 2 shield charges and last stand shield proc are pretty useful
what the
is it just me who has 5% vers? should i work on it to get it higher or i can sit on 28 crit with 35 haste ( unbuffed)
Stats dont matter
Is there a list of hard hitting spells / busters in M+ that are reflectable?
yeah but realistically you probably want to be running the spell reflect essentials weakaura
is that reliable?
very
nice
except for the right side trash right before third boss in necrotic wake
don't reflect him
this one? https://wago.io/pjl-p3su9
Original WA: https://wago.io/IkerOKywU Tells you when to reflect in Dragonflight dungeons and raids. Triggers only when
yup
Wait why not? I think it doesn’t spawn a puddle if you reflect him no?
You are talking about the rot aura guy right?
yes
unless it's changed, reflecting him makes it so instead of dropping the pool, he gets a damage aura on him
hi friends, is there any specific reason as to why colosus plays roar over spear?
anyone also has a minimalistic WA for tracking shield block and ignore pain uptime? I see only very bloated packs
there's some super basic ones on wago if you just look at prot warrior section
uhh doesnt he always have the aura and the spit makes the target area do the aura he has?
The robot said it is better.
helpful
did wonder if it was something to do with the hero talent, but that's just rend dot right
so wasn't sure why roar would be better specifically for col, where it's not for MT
does the Discharged Anima weapon in NW still do a shit ton of dmg? or really just used for interrupt now
It does some damage, I think on 10 for double marauder pull + necro it did about 12mn
I think it doubles up on the aura or something. Not sure, I'll have to check the next time I'm in there
Lines up with demolish for buffing dmg, so you increase dmg from bleeds via roar + demolish buffing dmg again
Also lines up with demo shout to yet again, buff dmg
Can you get away with colossus in 9s? Wanna have some fun ( or need more gear?
Easily
oh okay, so the bleed dmg increase from roar + demolish dmg increase + booming voice + Arterial bleed = big dot dmg during that window?
but with the CDR of demolish, is there ever a time when they dont line up? do you sit on demo for the dmg window?
What's your ilvl and do you pug or not ?
Issue is your extra DMG doesn't make or brake the run if the DPS suck it won't work, if you pug the already low chances of a success go even lower.
So I'd tell you better do mountain, if you just want some fun and don't care about successfully timed keys then have at it
Might be a dumb question, but the single target rotation has Thunder Blast above Shield Charge on 2+ targets. On single target, does it just share priority with Thunderclap?
Yes, in single target you just clap as one of your lowest priorities. Whether it's blast or not doesn't matter in this case.
Just in AOE you'd want to thunder blast on a higher priority.
Ah I think I read wrong too, no Thunderblast Is also for single target, outburst proccs is higher prio though, depends on range from you to boss I guess
But stationary DPS mode, SS proc > Thunderblast > SS. Imho 
Eh, it'll usually work out as SS > Thunderclap/Blast. Don't think there's much difference there, to be honest, but I'm just a scrub on the 'net anyways. 
Well thunderclap is way below either of those 2 just use as filler for cooldowns
Thunderblast is the big boy attack
I currently have no access to data, so it's just feely-wheely, but SS seems to perform better in ST for the most part. Also generates more rage, which is kinda the whole point.
Don't feel like googling values and formulae for damage calculations, my apologies.
621, pug
if you get violent outburst proc and SS is on cd for like 2-3 more seconds, if it worth sitting on Thunder blast proc and not use it on it?
ST scenario
For 9 should be easy but really hard to find good groups 😅😅 for 10s could get harder I tried 3 times was horrible went back to mountain man after that.
But in 8s I had a great time
Fish for a proc with Revenj.
But with 610 so maybe u could have a netter time also was 2 weeks ago so people should be better
I'd say go have fun collos way better to play than mountain
In AOE you can just blast. It'll do more damage, but generate less rage than SS.
Else, using outburst with clap / blast would still be better than sitting there like a lemon for 3 seconds, I'd say.
Yeah but we are in a 1v1 situation, SS is up and Thunderblast just proccs, what do you press ?
I'd press the blast
SS, then TB.
Unless I've already got two stacks. Keep in mind, TC and TB reset SS as well, so it keeps the entire thing rolling.
Yeah not so easy 😅 hope you enjoyed it @vapid sage
have you guys started dropping Heavy reprocussions yet? I saw Quazzi do it
but I kinda like having 20+ seconds of SB 😄
Heavy repercussions is the safe choice, ITF is less reliable until you hit around 40% haste.
You can roll with ITF from the get-go if you want, you can definitely play around it.
hr is really good even with high haste. reliability is important
40%? sheesh, I have 22% atm
you can play itf & bolster
or you can play hr
That's when it allows you to have a reliable 100% effective uptime on SB in a way HR would allow.
It's just something to be aware of when playing ITF.
U can run itf in dawnbreaker whenever u want
If nothing melees there's nothing to block, I guess. Caster bonanza, that one.
May contain some slight exaggeration.
When crafting weapon what embellishment is the best for m+?
Whatever sims best.
still 2x dawn/duskthread
For weapons, usually ascendancy and the double stats macguffin.
Recommended is double lining, but it doesn't go on weapons.
Does go on shields though.
Can anyone explain the thought process of going Fueled by violence instead of brutal vitallity?
🤔
Take either. It's a forced node, both nodes are mediocre at best, but FbV provides some actual healing and scales with the number of targets.
Both are quite neglible.
fancy seeing u here searash 
likewise @unkempt hazel
I see, I took a look at my overall healing it did in a +11 mist, rougly around 7% which was 80m
how solid are talent builds from like icy and wowhead right now? im starting to get into thatl ike 9-10 key range and seriously doubting everything haha
perfect, i was being fancy and yoinking from like murloc n stuff

still just mountain thane for everything?
U can play ither at those levels perfectly fine
i dunno im definitely feeling squishy in 10s at the moment
"those levels" T_T some of us are struggling to do all 10s
it doesnt change much
Which one u mean
Then its likely you might be doing something wrong, would need logd to find out tho
cant i just blame gear and move on? haha
blame healer
In 11s I still mitigate like 80% of the damage myself meaning I really dont take much damage
Curious how much it changes in 12s tho
its 30% more damage
Wasnt it 20?
you still mitigate most of it
Not really no
well keys scale by themselves too
Ah true
im not sure about scaling rules now if theyre flat or not
damn
but usually every key increase is harder than previous one
you still should be fine
Will prob get to 12s this weekend with my group
Lowkey excited
I also wonder for how long our holy priest will be able to keep up lmao
true but its not hard in keys
Also nice to see how far you can go with offmeta stuff
and having a 500k dps healer is very nice
Statistically speaking not much longer lol
mhm
when do i get crests from raid bosses that i didn't loot, i forgot to loot 1 boss from yesterday's raid, received Nerub-ar finery when i logged in today, but still no crests
Best holy priest is 2877 rio, thats not even bad
They should be in mailbox, or u were already caped so u didnt get anything
what if im rocking full explorer 1/8 gear hmm
i 100% was not capped and im not capped even now, i didn't get them in mail

I thought you have to loot them in raid or they disappear?
You dont have to
Hey Guys. Did my first Keys these Days as Prot. How is Col compared to MT DMG wise ? I did 900K overall as MT and dont really know where im standing with these Numbers and if Col is better dmg wise.
well, it would have been pretty stupid if that was the case
i have a question. i crafted 2nd item today with dawnthread lining Crit. but im not getting crit from the 2nd. You cant have 2 of same or is it something else buggy?
If you get into a loading screen or something it should show the proper value, it definitely works
i have relogged since
Try entering an instance
Get sime dmg below 80% then heal back up and it will show correct value
kk will test ty 🙂
This; chuck yourself off cliffs for a bit
what's your second favourite tank if you played any other specs?
this worked ty xD
Np
Prot paladin , divine toll visual+ audio is so awesome
one nice thing im seeing about the SV tank trinket is that its affected by versa, and providing 2.4+m shielding, and the shield lasts for up to 30 seconds on a 1 minute cd
doesnt just go away in 8 seconds the shield
Depends on the key
I do on average 1-1.1mil dps in keys as either hero tree
Little less in siege cuz pulls are kinda tiny



so warrior tank vs nar zhuda fort week, how the hell is this playable haha
play tank with a aug in 10-12s pull 2-4 packs with a good group not pugs



make friends
i mean i cycled everything i had
its just not enough
i assume blame pugs for bad stops and move on with my day
is that with aug?
or on your own, Cause I struggle to do more then 600k without aug (
I went from a mac champ shield 619 to an imen crafted 636 shield and it feels night and day survival wise
It should never deal enough damage to be even dangerous at all
how can use spell reflect on last boss GB?
Even with missed kicks
well i was getting absolutely trucked by bolts
even cycling through every defensive i had access to
hm
and it was only an 8
You can reflect the tentacles
can we also spell block them ?
alright
Do you guys run Bitter Immunity to help with dispel this week?
i use dwarf
Yes, i also am dwarf
I invite shaman and pretend the affix doesn't exist 🙂
Bi kinda useles , too long cd and is wasted talent pretty much , afix aint that hard to require it
Ngl i was dwarf and i hate looking at my character so much that i switch to void elf 
Every mog looks terrible on dwarf
It actually doesn't stun and it doesn't consume the reflect either. It is stupid stong
with spell block?
?
Oh spell block
Spell reflect hard counters the tentacle. I thought yall were talking about that.
Wait it doesnt consume the reflect? lol
no if you are fast you can remove 5/6 tentacles maybe 10 even
With SR u can eat multiple yes, it doesnt consume SR , just watch your SR so y dont run into tentacle without it
is there any chance as a a warrior to pull the additional pack in the right room at the beginning of the maze?
in mists?
Its also good on tankbuster there , pop it, dont care about your position as u wont get knocked into tentacle
Cant you soak a lot by using heroic leap or do you just jump over them then
i think HL makes you dodge them not sure
Not like it would help in a lot of cases though
hi
Howdy tea
anyone can share any good MDT pug routes that u have been running with success?
for which dungeon?
I just do keystoneguru routes
what key level
nvm, read it as "I don't do keystone"
There is alot of ways to run duengons. Just look and find what you feel comfy with
im doing 7s atm, going for 9-10s soon
has anyone been doing gatekeeper route in NW? haven't been able to find one
just to use BL on first pull
7s you can pretty much just hold w
pull group in front of you, group after that, and gatekeeper together
That isnt entirely fair. Some people can do that, but M+ is way harder this season. Not everyone is busting out 7s out the gate
Is there a more efficient way to get crests than mist 9? I did 6 mist 9 yesterday and finally got my shield. I am catching up on my crests, but mist 9 is alot XD
dawn and ara kara are really fast dungeons as well
great I get 3x 623 Myth track pieces
One is waist (Not an upgrade) other is cloak (not an upgrade)
So I settled for the fkn 623 Refracting trinket
atleast if I get one more trinket I can upgrade all my heroes for free..
Oh nice, so im no to far away i guess. Staying MT then. Thx !
i do enjoy siege as well
what the fuck
my least favorite in the pool
It just... sucks, since BFA
it was nightmare in BFA because tank tentacle respawned, now evertything there is kinda chill, aside from a part with bananas
The whole dungeon is just annoying
What's the move re crafts if all your gear is already tied for ilevel?
Already crafted weapon & shield
wdym move? You can do a recraft order for higher ilevel, just need the mats (90 gilded crests etc)
if you don't have good rings, craft and recraft 1 ring, you will be able to upgrade other one without using crests
My only gripe with acara is that last boss is such a bitch
I meant next pieces
Yeah I was thinking the ring re craft thing
That's not been patched yet?
Where do you pull the last boss to keep from getting blasted?
i just max upgrade myth track vault things since you save 15 crests
not sure if its patched tbh, blizzard usually take long to patch such things
Cool ring it is then, thanks!
i don't think you can choose where to pull the last boss
It is mostly about staying calm and playing mechanics, it is a pure mechanics boss. Make melees stand so that they do not hit others with the poison (which will make them also not hit others with the waves), dispel ranges or people with defensives first. Otherwise stay calm during webs and tag enough adds to have enough puddles. Pinging the puddle you want to take early can help.
How do you feel about prot warr in M+ generally? Started this season as a guardian druid, currently around 2.6-2.7. Thinking about prot now for some change
also move the boss away from puddles, cause puddles that are too close to the boss may not be safe to stand in
Its pretty good. Very tanky, damage is totally fine and utility is nice. Rally feels especially good this season for all the AoE healing checks.
fun and easy up to 11s, haven't tried 12s yet
a lot of things to reflect, very satisfying to play
Anyone else has played guardian around the same levels and has comparison, which feels nicer etc?
my guardian is around 613 ilvl, i think i have done a max +9 on him, feels much much squishier then my prot warr
especially on fortified, i was struggling to survive on my guardian druid)
would you say prot warrior arround 615 ilvl would be able to run keys 10 easily?
my guardian is 624, even in 11s I feel immortal tbh especially during incarn. Magic sometimes hurts though xD
yes, surely
during incarn ofc, but outside of it, i felt really squishy, especially on double-triple pulls
<eah without incarn you cant really go huge
but im also very rusty on guardian as well, i used to do 22s on guardian when it was meta in DF, but haven't played much since then
im just arround 613 ilvl right now, was wondering if 10 would be possible so never queued in them, but ill give it a try, thank you!
if you can survive fortified 9 then 10 shouldn't really be a problem for you, just gotta know which packs hurt)
At 615, your group is important to run 10s, but it is doable
I had a friend last night do aracara Key stone hero last night and he is 615. He is just a phenomenal lalyer
yeah, that's what i assume so I never queued past +8, was thinking about farming up the 7s and 8s until i can be full 619 gear
first try might not go too well, cause you don't know what to expect, you might feel that damage is very big, but it becomes easy when you get used to it
You will find the problem is getting a 10 more than being able to do one. People are protective of their keys
I lucked out and had some guildies run dawn +10. After we timed that, people were much more willing to run 9s with me
i stopped feeling any sense of danger in 10s when i was around 615 as well, started doing them when i was 610 i think
I also need to look for a group to push with, having the same group running keys feels so much better and way easier
i personally had much more success with PUGs cause my guildies suck in m+ lol)
Yeah, unless you have a very dedicated and permanent group for pushing, pugs are often much more competent than the average guildie
my experience
do you mind sharing your warcraft logs so i can look at how you run them, just curious to see how much different we play or if we do globaly the same things, i should be able to do same key level
at least that is when keys become a bit higher, for low-middle keys, pugs are just horrible
often
@covert canopy DM'ed you
just gotta know how to distinguish good pugs from bad ones, i always take disc priests and retri palas with me, those are usually gods
and any shamans as well
just dont invite holy priests LOL, maybe it was coincidence, but all I had sucked
idk I have similar experience with discs, they always struggle to top up the group
and god forbid you fall behind as a tank, there is no way they are topping you
when i play with discs, i feel like my party never goes below 70% hp) lol, guess im just lucky
I mean they objectivly do insane healing, but if something happens where you need to emergency heal but have no cds it's gg
and most pugs are probably not so good at planning all of their cooldowns?
someone was saying its fixed now but lmk if it still works
i think problem with shadow priest is they need a dh or bear tank to provide a magic buff
and some kind of voltron
what magic buff?
but i think, then, why wouldnt you just take a warlock at that point? there must be some power infusion reason or something
in the past i know demon hunter made you do like, 3% more magic damage
shadow priests just need high enough key to do good dps, they take a big time to ramp up their damage
i think they are weak when pair with pwar, hunter, rogue, paladin
is basically what i mean
from what I heard the issue is that they only have 1 spell on 45 sec cooldown to spread their dots in aoe
and if you mess it up it's gg for that pull 😄
they also dont hit silence
20 some minute threads
healer raging at preist for only hitting silence 1 time despite it having 45s cd
I went and checked the newest comment on tettles video about the ring, it's fixed it seems. Not gonna do it to find out - time to craft bracers :/
sadge( was thinking about crafting ring today
everyone got their third spark this week
afaik
there is a catchup mechanic, you can't miss any sparks
as long as you play enough to get it to drop)
Ah ok good to know and well fuck I should have done more chaches
any reason sacbrood is simming this low
there is kinda both crest and vault catchup, you need less crests to upgrade on alts and also you would be able to craft many 636 items on alts, deep enough into the season
What is opinion on Larynx trinket in M+ ? Got it on mythic track, but it sims low compared to other trinkets.
Nome says it’s good
Than its good
5 target 3 min
Was lucky with vault and got mythic Khardros + mythic Larynx
i understand that but its still a drag for alts
Better reference for a average M+ pull
true, thanks
any new trinket tech's i should know? i see that noone was using larynx and now im seeing it everywhere
Nice to hear that 😎
how many of you are talenting bitter immunity for the affix?
Either resto or enhance, both are goated atm
dw figured, a guildy was memeing at me saying I should take it lel
all 3 shammy specs are insane rn
ele is also insane rn
Yea true ele is having a good moment too
so
i wouldnt say insane
but i would say shaman is the bar that i hope blizzard is using for most classes when it comes to buffs
they dont exist
im happy to have an ele in my 10s or 11s
LOL
its also relatively simple to fix fury, just up their ST and give more sustained aoe
but arms...
might suffer from "its too strong in pvp" for a bit
my wow dream is that they kill aug evoker
shrug
aug isnt relevant until 14s anyway
ive said it since df s2, all they need to do with aug
is remove most of its defensive toolkit and increase their damage amps slightly
agreed
make it strictly a damage adding support and not a supporting class
whatever is lowest ilvl
Does the ring recraft bug still work?
you can also top gear with crafts
make ring -> recraft again -> relog -> upgrade 2nd ring for free?
Yea
no idea, can u test that out pls lol
Lol I don’t have the gilded to do a ring this week. Spent em already
what does this mean?
If it does, then ring could be huge. If not, lowest ilvl
I think thane for fury is quite suitable for the sustained aoe but yeah the ST could really use something.
yeah im seeing the same
its a good step in the right direction
but still needs a bit more, ret and fdks just shit on it
i got one craft left, should i get a 636 necklace?
sure
havnt crafted any items yet, shud i go for shield first? got a vetern one
i got embellishments on bracers and shield and was thinking wether i should hold the craft or just send it on neck
shield was fkn huge for me once i crafted it
haste/vers?
was doing +9 with trash weapon, but shield helped a lot. haste/crit
i can use Embellishments on shield?
Beledar's Bulwark this shield
about to take a bash at a 10, is it enough in here to just w through the dungeon no double pulls and still make time? its mists for context
why neck and not ring?
yes
Definitely, especialy mists
read that
if u make ring, u can free upgrade the other ring without crest
im quite undergeared so im worried about this haha
Your gear is even more reasons to not doublepull tho?
so after reading it, which shield are you gonna craft?
I believe both ring has to be upgraded before free of crest upgrade.
my guild is running it as a no timer for weekly but the dps is stacked so i think its doable
no there is a bug
613
u make one 636 ring, recraft it then relog, then ur other ring can upgrade without crest
Damn u are fine af
Hmmmmm will that be good idea though risking some ban XD
U should have no issues to live in 10s , mists especialy, there is only 1 pack that will hurt you
since DF s2 basically
oh cool. How many crest i need for it to be full? 😄
yea so craft ring > craft neck
current stats n stuff
Stats doesnt matter realy
Was just curious if u are like 580 or so xd
in the interest of speeding up this convo
i just feel wrong with my vers being so low
no not quite that bad, i just rerolled a few days ago
so feeling a bit all over
I dont have much more vers either
Do u know guardians and their slash in maze ?
oh yeah, it is [Pack of Runed Harbinger Crests] thats the highest?
what
are you asking about the highest crests? those are gilded
did you read everything i said?
idk anything about shamans, does their poison cleansing totem cleanse everyone instantly when it is put down?
It ticks
it pulses, but it should take care of it
i feel like my resto sham in my last key was not using it, details was glitching so i couldnt see
ah so its not instant upon activation? a few sec after?
Like its either instant dispel or in like 1-2 sec max
how much stat does duskthread lining give on a 636 shield ?
tooltip just says "gain vers"

It's not instant and it's not 2 sec max
It's one thing every 1.5 seconds for like 6 seconds
ty
thats the problem
embellishments scale with rank
But it should hit everyone
no they dont
the rank is only to craft t5s easier
TIL
it will just make it easier to t5 craft or recraft for your crafters
504 per thread
Ty
I think if the crafter high enough skill you can slightly cheap out using rank 2 lining. The price between rank 2 and rank 3 lining kind of crazy.
i wouldnt do it cause they'll be forced to use a lot of concentration
r2 should be fine if the other mats are r3
but certainly dont do r1 lolll
oh yeah the alloy and so on should be r3 for sure.
r1 meta 
With tinder boxes down
yeah since the vendor was put in
oh there is vendor for tinderbox now?
Yea something with delv loot mats?
All the casuals dumped tinder boxes
They're like 400g now
what would u craft after shield? 😄
If your getting gilded crests without myth gear
Shield >wep>big stat armor piece that keeps 4 set
If your getting myth track gear
Bracers and belt
i only do m+ 😄
Havnt crated one yet
oh yeah it's crashing already, the r3 sanctified last week I know it's 5k now about 1,8k. Holy...
Everforged Defender sield
I fail Wheeshy, I fail.. I should've sell all my tinderbox gained from delve last week
ok good
so yea two options then
you can do whatever is lowest ilvl starting from weapon and then non-tier slots
after shield
assume you wont get many myth track items and craft weapon and big ilevel upgrades
so i make everforged Defender shield + Everforged Vambraces since i got a wep
or pray to RNG gods and make bracers and belt because low stat budget
its a champ one 😛
you craft a weapon
then you have your answer
and then whatever is lowest ilvl after that
before you ask
dont embelish the weapon
embelish the next slot
so only shield with emb
I wouldn't even do shield
just easier to have two armor emblish in case he ever goes dps
crafted shield yes
where did you see this number
Duskthread Lining on shield then
im pretty sure it scales
linings this expansion dont
im confused
what emb is that
so your shield is 507
im not online so i looked it up
mine is 756
it doesnt scale
no
its 756
dont be confused, i misstyped
again im not in game so i looked it up
see proof above
i aint confused i was simply asking why your shield was 506 and mines 756
makes sense now
I MISSTYPED
and i said ok
I WAS MISTAKEN
why are you still talking about it
im confused. do i put Duskthread Lining on shield? 😛
yes put it on shield
hes not gonna do anythign youre assuming hes gonna do
i would put it on not a shield because youll end up dpsing for something
shield is fine and hes not gonna get a myth shield
gotta love running with a warrior tank who's on his alt and takes the time to chat after the key
zug zug's zug together :D
In Ara-Kara, any tips for surviving the Reinforced Drones + Blood Overseer combo??
Seems everytime eventually I end up slowed really bad to the point i can't escape the circles.
intercept your healer when circles come, heroic leap the next
zug zug harder too lol, ya my ret friend is slacking
ya just hold ava if you need
knew you had a ret friend
bruh if you have a ret friend
dont we all
thats the ret's fault
xd
cause he 100% should be running unbound
or charge into the next pack
should be a gnome warrior
tf is unbound

moo or goo
oh
that's lit
i run with a hunter and a frost dk most of the tim
so no rets for me
also..why no sacbrood drop
i ran ara kara 10 time sin the last couple of days, and i got a trinket..the tank one....because i was on tank spec loot
🤷
fake warrior cosplayers..
I did my first City of Threads last night to 😄
even with a full wipe on first boss, we timed a 11

does sac drop on tank loot spec too?
understood
im gonna have to time a few tens this week
I've gotten extremely close
but clearly my dps suck :p
the nerf to if dps trinket worn by tank/healer is soo unnecessary.
i dont think healers got the nerf
they did
impossible
they did in DF
i just dont understand why they just dont copy paste the dreadplates/rageheart
yeah
All-Totem like trinkets are also cool
maybe it was part of tank nerf?
yeah agreed
what did those do :o
yeah that's the thing indeed 
Blizz: Let's nerf all the dps trinket for tanks and healer so they wear the intended trinket.
The intended trinkets all trash, still better to use the nerfed dps version 
Ummm Rageheart pulsing some damage while giving you shield.
Dreadplate reduce a lot of damage and after expire create a beam and damaging enemy, the damage is good although sometimes the beam pathing quite questionable.
ooh
just get lucky
yea its ez
Swarmlord though?
Do you guys ever really use battle stance? I find my self parking in defensive and needing it to take the abuse of these keys. I have not tanked since WoD, but have found myself loving it compared to trying to force my way into groups as fury. Over 2400 io now, and pushing for 2500+ and it is starting to get semi serious. Any input is appreciated ya'll
That thing is OP, 100% shield on a 1 min CD
its not a good trinket
its the best of a long list of meh tank trinkets

like, take a look at Sanctum of Domination tank trinkets
we had Reactive Defense Matrix, Aegis, and (for those who really wanted it) a cheat death
they are capable of making good tank trinkets... they just dont
its not "part of the tanking redesign"
its just blizzard doing blizzard things
they make good tank trinkets but every expansion its like 20% of them only
Idk, most stuff they do is definitely intended
while 80% of tank trinkets gargle massive balls
no
its not intended
this isnt something new
any chance we go gathering clouds over thorims might?
calling it intentional is giving them way too much credit
no
Intentional doesn’t mean it’s any good
Uhh, some long time ago, then didn’t touch, then cata
You know... if only pocket anvil can be upgraded to today's ilvl that will be super nice with how much more SS we cast with Thane.
and its always been this way
80% of the tank trinkets suck
20% which may be too much in certain expansions, are okay
while 5% are actually good
every expansion
Yeah but why do you think this is not intended?
without fail
are people just intentionally creating things that suck?
is that something that happens
I've not had a single Aug in keys yet
did my first m0, and first as tank earlier - it was a shock to the system 😄
the trinket is fine lol adds some additional survivability in 11s+
imo a tank trinket isn’t needed before then, at least in my experience
Sure, just like you don’t have myth track in every slot week 2. they want you to take some time to get good ones I guess
i do think it’s better on bear tho
To me it seems reasonable. It’s also not that every dps trinket is good
so its reasonable to think
that class balance also follows that?
"some class need to suck"
"intended"
"just the way of the game"
If every trinket drop is extremely good, what’s the fun of that
idk it feels like youre copying with blizzard's mistakes
That’s a whole different topic imo
its called balancing
the fun is having different trinkets that do different things, which should be whats intended for them
that sounds like some cope
guys
I don’t even have swarm, but looking forward to it
is there abug in mistcaller to make her move and she is not doing the dodgeball mechanic??
swarm on war feels poopy
I saw a dh making her move when is casting it and the balls are not flying out
if the majority of tank trinkets suck dick, and every tank in the game is farming 1 dungeon, or 1 boss for just ONE trinket that is good, then your entire role pop will be there and not anywhere else, your logic is flawed
it creates a bigger problem
its bad for the game
One out of many is too few, on that I agree
she’s bugged rn
that's the issue!if all trinkets are equally dogshit, then you don't need to farm for specific one
but they arent
yeh, they should nerf sac
let me equip additional weapons in my trinket slot
no, second shield in trinket slot
is swarlord's authortiy turbo griefing?I keep wearing it because my haste is low as is 😦 @lusty grotto
I know all stats are equal and all, but it feels bad playing without haste
shrug its fine
i wouldnt use it for the haste
but thats just me
rather have primary stat
well, it gives a decent shield too, Ithink it ends up around 10% total healing
but damage is non existent y
swarmlord damage is dumpy but it’s better than a lot of trinket options, i was happy to replace it this week
The mastery on use trinkets pretty good. I got the grim batol one and enjoying using it
stat trinkets are hard to fuck up
Yah just love how it lines up with ravager and spear
Dang I bet demolish would hit hard as hell
I mean the batol trinket is one of our top isn't it?
should we not be using seething red procs on thunder blast/clap in aoe?
got it
Would you recommend the same priority/target without the proc ?
wasnt it 4 and 8
no
Should I drop a talent for bitter immunity this week?
oh wait i'm dumb it's for tc not tb
Guess I was trolling a little with my outbursts
Why is BSV never recommended for m+ but every good tank runs it
define good tank
Every tank pushing 11+
are they automatically good?
pussies
if i do an 11 with a 2hander equipped right now as prot, am i good tank?
I’m asking for the thought process
they copy top io war top io war uses suboptimal build that also includes bsv
1 point to potentially save a key from depleting is pretty impactful when youre trying to max io
thats it
What is the opportunity cost and how it compares to the benefit
yea it has a 3 min cd
you can still die with purgatory doesn’t mean DKs don’t take it
its worse than purg
because its not a cheat death
and kd damage intake is like umm 10? 20x? compared to war
BSV still helps defensively. Helps with the outrageous damage in these 12s
No ls and iv deal with it
dk and dh have true cheat death, bsv procs when you're at 30% health
and in terms of warrior damage intake when you get crazy low you probably bambozleed yourself and didnt press a def cd for a big magic hit and you're fine after actually because damage already happened
got people running bsv in like +4's and crap cuz all the "best prot warrs in the world" are using it
XD
while dh and dk main issue is actually melee swings that truck them compared to us so every second if they're in melee theyre gonna bleed health
that why other tanks have shit like desyncing melee swings and running/jumping to a side of a pack instead of charging
White swings in a 12 are still 1m each. It’s an 80% DR on a 3 min CD. I don’t follow the logic of not taking it
I wouldn’t ask for the thought process here. You’ll just get berated for not blindly following the wowhead guide. I swapped to the “high key” tank build and my life improved dramatically. If you’re trying to run 12s, I’d recommend it. If you’re struggling in <10s, then I’d recommend reviewing logs/vids to identify where you can improve skill wise, otherwise your build is not going to be the largest determining factor in your success
yeah i agree
it also allows a potion or last stand to full heal you after proc
this guy spittin
anyone saying you can die through BSV doesn't know what they're talking about. You'd need to take 220% of your hp in damage, which is basically impossible outside of 50m 1-shots etc.
Is the ring from queen Ansurek a bait if I'm running low on haste? The ring gives a bunch of crit and a bit of mastery and that DMG proc, it Sims Higher but idk if it's worth loosing 3k haste from the other ring
people still think you can die 31% -> 0% with BSV, which is not true
its not bait
turns out
cantrips are better than secondaries
who knew
i think i did get 1 shot through bsv before
losing 3k haste is nothing
Srry if I sound stupid but whats a cantrip
shadow claw doesn't hit hard enough to 1-shot you through bsv in that circumstance
maybe in a 15 or something
it applies the 80% mitigation to any damage that would take you sub-30%. you'd need to get hit for 160% of your hp to get 1-shot from 40%
it didn't used to work like this, so people think you can get 1-shot through it, but you can't outside of like... raid 1-shot type things that hit for 1B
i mean most ways you die from a fuck up is a million melees combined with big damage
BSV def saves yous 95% of the time
and even though its not optimal itll save your pull from a wipe if you fuckup
hard cope
if you play perfectly its not worth it
if you dont itll save your key every once in a while
what do you drop to get bsv? ravager?
for the vast majority of players, it will save their key regularly
yes
🤮
SC + Champs Bulwark
feels bad
How come all these low players play perfectly but these high pushers know better 😝
discord recommends dropping SC + bulwark and keeping ravager + taking bolster. if you actually look at the rage/shield block from that trade, it's obvious SC+Bulwark gives more rage and more shield block. they're just wrong 🤷
Nim has been a warrior main forever, so clearly he plays perfectly all the time
Then stop berating people
I’m tired of opening this chat to see you passive aggressively trying to make people feel like crap
didn't die tho
Okay? And i thought this whole arguement is about being tanky? So why is he 1 not track sb better to get more blocked hits as u can get close to 90 with itf or just running hr when u can get to 94-96%?
Reducing a tone of damage
i get it because prot warirors bvlock i get it nim i get it
because he didn't die
glad someone did
this is the 5th time in 10 hours you started spewing something about "this argument is about being tanky"
idk where that comes from
It is your literally talking about bsv saving you and it making invisible
When there steos u can take to just reduces all that before hand
negative
I would love to see a log where u guys are procing bsv correctly
When your supposed to
look, this is simple, do you want to play BSV? then play it. Why attempt to validate your choice at all?
U were about to provide a log of shadow claw no?
Or did u forget to press spell block and that could have saved you?
Nome wrote the guide for the majority of the player base. Some individuals take that to mean it should be the gospel truth at all key levels, and berate those who do not blindly follow. The high key pushers rely more on feely craft to make their decisions, which some people violently decry, but from my own perspective, the high key build will serve you much better in that content. Nome’s recommendations are still great for 99% of players. The key is to correctly identify which group you fall in
Do you want to drop ravager to pick BSV? do so. Why attempt to validate your choice at all?
because maybe... deep down they know it's a bit fishy?
you're right with your pick, have fun
stop having second thoughts about it
getting a bit emotional man just play what u want
U seemed pretty confident, why not provide logs to show your choices are the correct thing?
Why is this so hard we provide ours a tone of my keys are logged
And public
ya i sound SO CONFIDENT
He wasn’t providing logs to back up the BSV choice. He was talking to papashlapa saying oh I think I did get one shot through it
He was spouting stuff about it this morning and kira to me which the log he provided showed nothing of what he was trying to say
These kinds of interactions are why class discords have become such a meme
So now his argument is childish and did he die tho
spreadsheet gamer
Any log that got posted you would just say "shoulda played better I found a mistake"
these arguments are boring lol
Obviously they're making mistakes
The point is with bsv you can make mistakes, not die, time the key, and continue to work on playing better. Without it you just die and gg.
you know they hit rock-bottom when they fling out the insults
People used to make mistakes and come to these discords to try and get better. Now they just get attacked and they’re tired of the same offenders telling them to git gud
nobody is attacking someone asking for help
that situation is not the same as "pick BSV trust me bro"
This u?
yes?
does it just feel like im struggling because a +3 is supposed to be a +13 from DF s2 or 3 (before the swap to system it is now)
what was wrong with that answer?
so i just treat a 5 like a 15 and im good?
Uh yeah sort of like that Yogi
i had a stroke reading this
