okay thx 😄
go get them champ
I don’t know, I crafted 1h / shield 636, I was able to free upgrade to 636 the 2 hand I took in this week’s vault
thats how it works yeah
In Ara-Kara what is the best way to handle this pack - specifically around avoiding the encasing webs the overseers cast?
On other Overseer packs, I can leap out of the webs when slowed...But on this pack it feels like RNG because I can leap out of the first cast, but don't have it if there is another right after. The Grasping Slash slow is sometimes stacked so high there is no shot I can run out of the webs. Is there a way I am supposed to handle this?
Im gnome so i can racial then leap, so I don’t have this issue
Maybe dwarf can too
You need 2 « ways » of getting out with 90% slow on you
Leap is 1
Leap, avatar, intervene...
So you need to find another one or yes use avatar to free you
AHh yeah I am a human...i sometimes can intervene but sometimes the groups positioning relative to me still leaves me in a web.
Did berserk work for it?
Forgot about Avatar, guess I should make sure I have for that pack
I don’t like to intervene since it rely on group / and purple puddles
Probably not, I don't spec into berserker shout, but dont think it is considered a fear/incap
found that out the hard way yesterday lol, had to tank the hit with shield wall up when I saw it coming, not ideal
m+ demolish or thane?
The first time I did the pull I leaped into a puddle, it was scary
Not fear 100%, but incap mb? I had died last week on that pack, but didn’t tried berserk. Haven’t avatar for second casts
How big were the nerfs this week?
Which one ?
You def feel the nerf, but its nothing too major
Didn’t notice any changes, but I only did maybe 4 keys total this week to fill the vault
Hi could anyone help with the spell reflect WA please? how can i turn on a sound when it calls spell reflect? 😄
Original WA: https://wago.io/IkerOKywU Tells you when to reflect in Dragonflight dungeons and raids. Triggers only when
and for me it already says "THis aura plays a sound via a condition". but it doesnt 😄
THATS what i was looking for! thanks 😄
Yes basically it has a sound by default but none is selected
At the double forgeloader in stonevault, its better to skip them and go right - right? Just had a pug insist we do double forgeloaders then the pack left with the single forgeloader
I don’t do neither the double or the pack left
Yea right? I've never done that route before, always gone right, got the vers buf, through the middle then walked back
I go take the vers buff
Double forge almost merked us too
And come back depends if you got a shroud/soothe or if you like to run
is there like an objectively better choice between fueled by violence and brutal vitality?
thats the wrong pussy build but popoff
no they are negligble
one scales with target count and other is wtv
dont they both? 10% of the damage I deal -> more damage in aoe, 110% of bleed = more bleed in aoe
How?
What level key is that even for
That seems awful
You’re right
That’s the penultimate one
I don't care how much people say taking bolster and ravager is better
Not having shield charge with the capstone
Feels too wrong
Even if it's right
It’s not, they say ravager gives more rage than shield charge but it doesn’t
xd
For me it's just the value of shield charging into a pack tbh
And bolster is a « idk why » for me
For the block
That's why I think
Covers gaps lost by not having SC
is there a way to check shield block uptime in combat only?
Logs
Hover over your hits on dmg taken
thanks
The problem with this for me, is that then you lose Last Stand as an "oh shit" button
Cause you need it for shield block
I think even without SC, you can maintain SB if you don’t play ITF, that’s why I’m wondering why taking bolster
Hmm maybe, I think I was at 95ish with the standard build (HR + SC)
And now with enough haste I'm at 95 with ITF + SC
But maybe, I've never done the maths
And haven't tried playing without SC yet
And with only HR and shit ton of haste since it’s a « pussy » build ?
hr is goat
I meant still taking HR when you have 35%+ haste, i know HR is goat
I haven't tried HR with high haste tbh
But I've only played the BSV build in 12s and tbh, with the nerf, probably won't play it again
any tips for the trash before last boss in SV? 😦 Bricked my 10 cause of it
do you pull the last 2 packs out of the room ?
play safe big io, just do the packs 1 by 1 and los pull out the room like 2005 stratholme
You just won't clear in time doing this tho
Not rn at least
Oh wait
Sorry I thought this was in reply to the build chat
When do we use ravager? On cd in packs?
Last 2 packs together is scary for sure, just do 1 at a time like Cruise said, or do 1 pack with the last entrance to boss group and then 1 on its own
I Will try Gio’s bsv build just for science but without bolster, where should I spend the last point given he really wants ravager ?
the assumption is ofc timer is good so no point pulling dubble. but im pretty sure your average 10 pug wont have the brain cells to handle quad stoneshapers spitting out totems
Shield charge?
Can please anyone test of Second Wind can heal the M+ heal absorb debuff?
Pointless without capstone
Yes that’s why I’m wondering
Only bitter imunity
What to take instead
the aoe taunt interrupt one
Hmmmm
Ya this maybe
disrupting shout/bolster/sc
And Victory Rush.
I wish they would buff the ravager capstones tho, never see anyone take it
ravager has capstones? 
And our buffs say that our Second Wind Aura is always up
I’m taking into account I think I have 100% SB with this as it is on my current character
bolster if you want a cd, aoe silence if you want another stop or just show of force/best served cold if you want dmg
apparently not )) only weird buttons to delete 1 point
I'd test that first tbh, go dummy maybe and see
Nah i have tank privilege I’ll try in a stranger’s key
only sane thing ive seen you type
grief some guys key
like a real man
interrupt is cosmetic
What you think I should take with your pussy build but without bolster ?

show of force
question here. I got a Warbound champ track swort from 3rd raid boss in HC. Wort taking it for testing to tank?
Chump track weapon isnt a big commitment if you end up vendoring it
Okey when I come home I will try that in someone’s 11 or 12
Xd
i mean. is it a goot swort for warry tanking?
don;'t forget to let them know that you are doing them a favour by even queuing up to their group as a tnak
Based
a good weapon for tanking is a high ilvl one hander with strength
i can insta boost it on 619
and it is for testing if i want to tank.
you could also just buy a green off of the auction house
I wouldn't waste runed crests on champ track gear tbh
well i got a vet track from delves
eww, bis m+ neck and cloak drops from stonevault? T_T
Stone vault not bad
we dont say its more, its more burst
but my recommendation is just not dropping either
and just not playing BSV
cuz youre cooked either way
Yes we were talking specific bsv builds, I’m just ok to test try things to see if I like it or not
if youre going with this build, you might aswell drop SoF and pick up naked shield charge
but SoF is more dmg all things considered
I asked gio what he recommend since he is the one suggesting to pick ravager on a bsv build, I can try one with SoF or with naked SC, I’m open to try
I was more confused on him taking bolster because I think you maintain SB without it
with just HR, yes
your goal with BSV is survivability at the cost of dmg right?
and thats what bolster gives you aswell
thats the whole thought process
cuz whenever people try to cook builds, they VERY OFTEN give up dmg, to get dmg somewhere else which... you can just sim
or give up tankiness to gain tankiness somewhere else
which makes no fucking sense to me
you do 1 or the other
but you dont drop surv to get other surv
like 
Yes but not over exaggerate survivability, that’s why even you want to be safe it’s too much a waste to take bolster
I asked what are people’s bsv build and I’ll try some when I come home
ye thats fine
i played it in 1 key once in DF
and it was dogshit to play
when it was on CD i felt IMMEDIATELY uncomfortable
despite being in no danger whatsoever
I played one time I think in a grimbatol and the first time I did the last pull of ara Kara with the slow

It feels bad to give up dmg for something you feel it means you are bad if it proc
New to prot warrior and currently leveling one. What would you guys recommend crafting and what embellishments if I plan on doing just m+
both times BSV procced was intentional for me
to test if it worked
Good for people with 18% shield block uptime
Depends on your current gear/ you want a good shield and weapon you can craft it or vault one, bracer for long term embellish I think and another dog shit slot
Yeah I’m afraid I’ll draft a weapon and shield then get good one out of vault lol
Like me in mop never used shield block cuz I thought it was bad and just spammed shield barrier

You don’t need a 636/639 shield-weapon to do 10s, but you got plenty of sparks so go get that wow token and craft i think
Craft your own save a bit
I was amazed the price I paid to craft this week a 2 hand 636
Crit or vers?
Hi
someone here can explain me some basics on private?
The embellish for prot ?
Yeah, duskthread lining or dawnthread and stats for crafted pieces, I'm feeling like im lacking quite a bit of vers at 625 ilvl
You can always recraft later, I did crit because I had almost no crit when I did my shield, depends on your current vers/crit I guess
This would be a recraft, I have a shield, belt and bracers at 636 as haste/crit and im at 28% crit but only 4% vers
I would go vers personally yes, it’s just my opinion so don’t take 1 dude’s opinion alone
Started using Oppressive Orator's Larynx recently, should I just be sending it on CD, or waiting for stacks to amplify the damage? Or not sending it at all and just sitting on the strength buff?
It’s almost 0 mastery
Stamina on legs 
You have how much raw mastery ? Less then 2k maybe like it’s not a big deal
Do we not play shield charge? 😮 What have I done
1672
Oh, wait, I do play capstone talent as well, the one gives u shield block
Ravager over Shield Charge seems a weird pick there
So nvm

Hello.
@remote tusk Isn't stam on legs more value than armor? as stam will be EHP for both magic and physical damage?
No
895 stamina
Armor gives Primary Stat.
hi with these logs https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/FhGZrtBcqWvaVpDw#fight=12&type=casts&source=358&view=timeline how does he have shield block up without recasting it (like around 3:56)
Shield charge with capstone?
Yes and armor give you strength so armor with the class talent even it’s also a minuscule amount compared to your armor
there is no shield charge in the timeline tho
HR then
Where is the text that says armor adds strength?
That amount of Shield Slam is also not enough to keep that up.
Isn't it 2s more per shield slam?
1
Hm
I see i see, Its passive so honestly I forgot all about it
Could have had more than one charge going in
Like as in before the start of the pic
He had SC + 2x Block or whatever
It all stacks
hes playing itf
nvm I looked at the wrong buff uptime, he def drops it there
The reason I had stam on my legs to be honest was because R1 warrior in M+ has it lol
im stupid haha
Lol
So upon switching that, it gave me legitimately like 3 strength
I doubt it.
Ill for science two screenshots to you right now hold on
very simple how much armor does the enchant give
He plays with bolster, but press it later, it depends on context, sometime you don’t shield block like on first boss of mist when he gets the dmg amp
Yes, but you also gained 1100+ Armor in addition to that Strength. So you are hitting for slightly more, absorbing slightly more with Ignore Pain etc.
So it depends on context or maybe he just dropped shield block
I suppose it technically gives me more parry as well
Why would you want to lose 30% of your damage of your hardest hitting ability during the damage amp?
Gunna cost like 50k to recraft these 3 pieces to be vers
I don’t know the context of the 3 min period on these logs but 3 min can be first boss of mist
Im too lazy and on my phone to check
My point is only time youd let block fall off is if kiting or moving between packs or doing mechanics in raid. Its a significant dps loss to drop block
I was responding to the idea that should let it drop during the damage amp for some reason
I don’t really know why would you do it too, I’m trying to find a reason
still got 93% blocked hits so not the end of the world!!
yeap
battle scarred in raid?
no
thats rough
apparently a frontal the defenders cast
maybe they dont cast it when you have block up

xd
blocks 100% uptime yeah?
there are mechanics in wow that only happen when active mitigation isnt up
but that should be a legacy mechanic
emphasis on should
He has 88.5 % uptime
yeah out of combat exists
No i was more so saying that block is 100% uptime in combat yes?
🙂
what mechanics are there in mists as a tank
i swear you just walk through everything
frog frontal and leap
I dare you to try xd
yeah bro let me play more tank as someone who finds it extremely boring
also getting hit by dodgeball
so hes just playing sub-optimally 🙂
Just mistakes
you have to kick 2nd boss (very difficult)
but only died one of those times and thus timed the key!!
🙂
wowee
is the reason we dont play +10 revenge cost is to just hit more revenges
cuz it fucks up your rage management
hey let me only cast 2 revenges with 60 rage instead of 3
to get an SS reset
and do less damage total

math
Whats the full talent build we're running for M+?
so why are all the top running into the fray instead of heavy reper
because they have giga haste
because they want haste
cuz they think 20% is just enough haste and they HATE not playing ITF
that and its good in raid apparently
even tho they sometimes die to lack of block
and hate playing the safe option but then play BSV
Shield Block CD is reduced by Haste.
okay but i hate having less haste as well
i've been messing around with some builds
and into the fray feels dangerous with block uptime
sure, but you need 45% haste before ITF to get 100%
😦
and theyre all nowhere near that haste
how much with shield charge
With or without Shield Charge incl.
that is with shield charge
Ok.
XD
Premonition
😂
you need 67% perma haste to get 100% uptime, you dont need 100% uptime but the levels theyre playing is not sufficient
so they play bolster + itf
instead of just playing HR
and have true 100% uptime with ease
and get 1 extra 2nd gate talent punto somewhere else
I personally don’t play ITF I have 35% haste without, I need 1 event with no shield block to die, and me dying = wipe, nah I will skip it
😭
holy haste
holy
is that with flask
i have like 24% haste before talents
you should see my mastery though
No with ItF
oh..
and i also play HR
and do like 200-400k dps more than those pushers do
weird how that works
im only 611 ilvl but i have 30% haste before buffs
Oh and I’m gnome so I get 1% free haste
i'm lowkey contemplating race changing to dwarf but it's so fucking expensive :/
sell some m+ carries
honestly surprised someone didnt start tweaking at my stats
ya i agree about expensive
i race changed to dwarf cause its huge
because we all know you are a dps player
i figure they would sell fuck loads more services if a race change was 10 bucks instead of 25
like 5 - 10 times amount they do now
10 bucks, whatever omegalul, 25 30 bucks, well, now i have to think about it for at least 30 seconds
I dislike how male dwarf shields get small when sheathed.
its not even that i cant afford that shit, its just, why
real
i dunno its feels bad all around i feel
Just level a new char
thats what i mean
yeah that is not happening LMFAO
25 bucks or i could go level a new character
And gear it on the side
or.......... fuck that, i dont want it play wow im gunna buy another entire GAME for 25 bucks
you see?
Items that are good sizes on my character are very limited
all that plate armor and a shining sword....
and then a a sun hat...
i was almost really happy with transmog
Well I only see my character from a particular angle I like the hat tbh
Didn’t find a good looking weapon tho (they are very limited on gnomes)
I mean, rolling gnome just tanks your transmog options by default.
No matter the class.
I Have to shave beard to wear helmets
Not like anyone notices when you're so close to the ground.
The scream for taunt/IP is a meme though, I think.
Look at those muscles
Look at the muscularity!
Peak gnome efficiency at its best! Winner of the stronggnome competition!
I dunno, I'd like to see my transmog outside the character screen so gnomes aren't for me. Not enough pauldron.
Maybe this will convince you
Do we get rage from a dodged attack?
So a quick question to fellow tanks A dk in my recent 9 grim made a comment about port warrior need not kite the ogre that trucks… is this true what am I missing ? With sb and ip up still they truck.. what am I missing ?
debating crafting 636 shoulders with my spark.. Idk if I want to haste vers or greed the crit haste
🤔
you should kite them at 10 or press hard cc
sim it
in M+ I am getting "interface action fail" and then I DC. happened twice in NW and in others too. How to fix?
try disabling addons
i want to find WHICH addon
wat how is it greeding? it doesnt even matter
if you disable more than one you will get bad data
as in just gaining tankiness via vers ig
crit also provides tankiness
i dont think getting 0.5% vers is the difference
prot thane is blasting atm it feels nice
If the ogre has a good amount of stacks you have to cc/kite or soothe
im over here parrying like 29% of every melee LOL
I kite in all levels of grim.
71 sieges and 35 necrotic wakes later still no ring, is it time to just craft it
Craft babe
Press storm bolt or shield charge to reset stacks
What if in the next necrotic wake the ring drops ? If you lose money at the casino you keep going to gain it back

That`s from a +6 i did as tank earlier, blasting my way
jump right and everyone runs to the forge, kill those packs, get warrior buff, pull 3 mobs and run to the next pack (might need to los behind a corner if noone interupts/grips)
what dungeon is this, i wanna know what the SR is on xD
Grim batol
your right, besides i should craft neck according to sims for my character, i dont mythic raid and crafted neck sims higher then any other neck for me currently, i can keep crying in dungeons i guess
I used spell reflect on this skill, i don`t know the exact name in english
but it`s the DoT
From the orc npcs with the big orange blade
the 2 big guys before dragon boss?
Nah, that's the shadowblade slash or so. The blade boys, I think, but my Spanish is mostly non existent and a bit rusty to boot.
Something about Llamas I think
The flamerenders
nice thanks
Every Spell reflect it`s like 8million damage
Yes you are almost top dps on the 3 dudes pack in second boss room
Yeah, you want to reflect one and block the other if there's two.
Just because of SR
Nah, that's just regular SR shenanigans.
i still can`t forgive blizzard for nerfing SR against the twins in SV
I remember in beta being able to SR the tank hit AND the big fire ball
I havent had issues with them on 10-11s . Maaaybe if i have 2 of them, but CCing them ( shield charge is enough) is good to reduce dmg
Probably coz you have good comp, coz if they die not fast enough you rly need run away. I’m using all on them if dds will not focus them
Curruntly running 9s of GB
You should have SB and IP up 99% of the time anyway - when they start hitting hard with stacks you just pop a cd
If you need to kite that's most likely your fault
Gawd
Trying to do this CoT 10, the shaman who has the key did less overall than me and we failed to finish
Bro was dead every boss fight
They truck, but they do physical damage. By the time warriors need to kite, most other tanks are already in the ground.
I mean, doesnt matter realy, pack should die quickly enough anyway, and they stack untill 10 stacks only iirc , so after like 15-20 sec they are full , u also have SW which u dont need anywhere near
Like that pull ( double ogre) is way more chill than double guardian in mists imho
The guardians in mists are okayish too
I dislike the first two packs of Siege the most
As well as the mini boss with the two adds in Dawn on the left side
Like they arent impossible or whatnot, but if i havento compare them, guardians are worse
The pulsing one ?
Do they pulse? Never paid attention tbh
One is doing orb, the other is dping big circle tank buster , thrid one is pulsing
They all have one boss mechanic
Ye hes nasty but im usualy fine, is rest of group that strugle there
Usualy poping ralying there and spaminy interv
Not much else i can do tbf
Rallying and intervene then it’s not my job anymore
Yap pretty much, and its back up untill boss anyway
Rally is donkey. Wish it was still 20%
They should just buff it in group content
That would be neat
If Blizz is just scared of raid rallying
Its still at least 10% and it can save life , it also boost %healing a bit
Even tho its weaker than it used to be, still useful spell and far from useles
worse then every other raid cd
True , but hey, we got somehing at least
I dont feel like its ever saved anyone. Id rather take intim shout for a stop lol
it helps in raid tho
Oh yeah for raid no doubt
best thing about it as dps is that you can use it in bladestorm
I mean in m+
it is helpful its just bad compared to alternatives
but I'd prefer they don't touch us at all to whatever happens when blizzard decided to tweak your kit
i think i pulled the most clutch ever rallying cry here
we could have very easily wiped to that combo
Yea but thats the pug life i was talking about
Your pala is rather healtht and has sac ready
Monk has ready coocon ? Not sure by that icon
In pugs/with bad players , ralying has more value than in organized good groups
Hello. Im a bear looking to make a prot war alt. Whats the best place to start looking at prot war info?
Ideally yes, but still not pug group😅
wowhead
Okay good ill look at wowhead to start. Was just seeing if there was an up to date compendium or something here cuz i know in the bear disc they have other opinions to wowhead at this point.
Read the wowhead guide and then ask questions here
It’s more that everyone is not full hp before group wide dmg, if I saw that I would have rally even before the stomp
I pug only , it just works . Worst case u leap
Our wowhead is maintained by our theorycrafter
So read wowhead and then ask questions here after
Gl! Cheers
they're very easy and you can manage them by yourself
every time they do a melee swing they get a stacking buff
it lasts around 3 seconds
worst case scenario no cc no cds no nothing you just run away for 3 seconds
normal scenario you shockwave and step back for literally 1 second
until they're at max stacks they do 0 damage
but if you don't have wall or demo or something you just step back and its ok
if demolish just gave any rage at all the spec would feel like 8 thousand times better
even if it gave like literally 15 rage or some crap
cuz it also stops your auto attacks
Just make each strike of demolish an auto attack category thingy
yeah that would be fine also
give like 9 rage during demolish
even that 9 rage would make the spec much smoother
If every strike of demolish was categorize as an auto attack like a thing that is affected by that
Happy im not the only one having the problem
the rage economy of colossus vs thane has been an ongoing discussion since beta
Its so satisfying to land a demolish
Yup but i see it is played specially in raid
And maybe somone have a guide or something to recommend
wowhead
🙂
guess what the people who wrote wowhead and icyveins are in this discord
how about instigate, or instagator, is a new talent about the spell taunt
basically vigilance or whatever, when tuanted it deals less to you and you deal more to it
that would be cool
Yep gotta be the first to pull that boss then and every X second i’ll taunt
what if i could take punish and juggernaut at the same time
How do you guys gather big packs that has multiple caster? Do you ask for help with range interrupt
for science, i equipped taunt trinket from SV at ilvl 610 in a +4 threads took 26 minutes did 26M " " " " " " H e A l I n G " """" " "" " "
typically yeah if im in coms
im very not wanting to call what it did as healing
but technically by all accounts, it is
Los, kick first cast, caster pack being the regroup point
Im trying to gather the first 3 packs in City of Threads and theres always one or two caster just free casting and never group up
Annoying
yeah good point, if 2 casters you can just kick one and group on 2nd
if more than three looking for LOS or great
if not may ask for grip/ranged kick in comms or hope pug has situational awareness
Kick first caster leap into next, aoe silence roar drag back to first
We have AoE silence?
na
he means aoe kick
Yes if you talent it
not silence
Oh disrupting shout?
Under mass taunt talent you can make it a mass kick
Well right its aoe kick with a 6sec silence attached to it
thats just a standard kick though
Its def longer than standard
Yes if it kick nothing the caster will not move
It says kick for 6s
My guilds tanks left and so im switching from fury to Prot does anyone know any good youtubers for heroic/ mythic palace or high keys. Luckily im already geared for the most part.
lol
So it is a little longer
it's not correct to say we have an aoe silence though, that is giving people the wrong impression of how the ability functions
yeah its 3 more seconds
AoE kick is a better word
however, with TWW stuff
the school shut down doesnt really do much
depending on the mob of course
reading is too hard
Ok yes its a 6sec aoe kick. You knew what i meant you twats. Lol
🙂
many mobs have more than one school of magic and it's mega annoying lmao
you just got "asctussally" 🥸
Hahaha yup
People may try to charge mass taunt/kick a pack of caster to gather them on another pack, they may just not move because you kicked nothing, like a silence would do
yeah
gotta love it though
its always good when all tanks are represented
or the vast majority
In the first pull of CoT my description of the pull works cuz they cast right away but yes you need to make sure things are casting before pressing
i love warriors but I do miss veng DH be able to aoe grip / aoe control 3 packs for a good 15s in DFs
well that was wildly imbalanced
here we go again
of course you enjoyed it
lmao

i think vdh was 40ish alone
brewmaster never meta 
Honestly with our stun frontal also knocking up and having like 25 sec CD
isnt brew in a very strong spot right now pretty much every tank is strong
skip the first 2. on the 4-pack, charge etc., they insta start casting, disrupting shout to kick both. leap to beetle and tag it. charge back to 4 pack. do dps things.
I don't see the need for aoe kick
Brew is a dps with taunt
cot i think lusting the 2nd pull is better apparently
Only real tank is warrior and paladin
pretty much every tank is strong yes
wait are paladins good now
Except Blood DKs
how is blood DK in high keys? is it still insanely spiky damage and spiky healing?
paladins have been good
Idk I am classist
Tank has to have a shield or it's a dps with tuant
they are slightly squishier but
Tank has to be plate armor
they pump dam
If you dodge, you're a rogue
i think overall balance is pretty good for tank. Healer balance is terrible though. And DPS is like always Mage / FDK
Facts
Is it me lol
yeah, but I was still sleeping in 10's at like 612 ilvl, 618 now gonna try some 11's at some point.
If so cry about it nerd
im ngl 11s were easy but every 12 i have done so far has not gone well
i wished they buff otherh healers as well. Right now rshaman feels way too strong and it feels bad bringing other healer, except maybe disc
How does your 2nd pull looks like then ?
you 2 need to kiss n make up
other healers are fine
most of my bricked keys had some fotm rsham reroller not knowing when to actually use totem
multiplicative +20%dmg/hp and no freebie 20% mastery hurts lol
if you dont understand why rsham is brought, thats fine, but its not because other healers are dumpster
they are capable
I have a question on spending crests. Should I try to spend crests on making my best items better or should I spend crests on making the items I will guarantee ably keep better? Like I have egg with speed and myth track gloves. The egg is better, but the gloves I will always keep
Disci goes incredibly hard
meta does not mean others are garbage
But spec composition doesn't matter at like below 12 keys and even then doesn't matter
Had a juiced disc do 480k dps overall in a db. Def felt it in pulls.
it means it fits a specific group profile
i wish people would understand that in today's WoW
Unless you're pushing for high ranks, it doesn't matter at all.
it would argue meta is even more important for lower keys cuz there is 0 coordination. you can get away with any comps if ur coordinated
you must be trolling
5 keys legit be harder than 11 keys
not to that extreme no
Keep having to solo bosses
but pugging a +9 is harder than a coordinated +11 i would say
I had to solo SoB first boss from 60% because healer went afk and dps died to explosion
At 4
if there was 0 coordination why would meta even cross someones mind
And I wasn't about to wipe to a damn M4 boss
Meta comps are often based on pulls you arent doing. You dont need a aug to live when the tank is single/double pulling packs
cuz ur pugging?
don't think we're understanding why something is meta
I mostly care about doing a physical/magic cleave at most tbh
Mostly physical since I got yell
please explain then
But retri and DH doing 70% magic dmg sucks
Most Effective Tactics Available. Why bring this class in a certain ORGANIZED COMP. With planned usage, strenghts and weaknesses
Enha and dk are also quite mixed
how much of frost dk damage is magic... seems like a lot especially with breath build
what is rshaman big weakness right now compared to other healer lmao
its a bit overtuned
It has utility, and if you misplay a bigger cd you have 0 externals
It fits every comp currently, and brings lust. Shift those elsewhere and it changes group dynamics.
Ngl my fave healer is resto druid cuz 3% vers, cat form dps, and CR
2nd is disco priest because somehow nobody ever dies with a good disco to anything
Felt so good with a disco boralus last boss slams into dispells and bro handled it like a boss
Thats just a good healer nothing to do with class
MW touch of deaths and cc goes hard too
Good rings are amazing
Knocking ranged into melee
Esp if no frost dk
NW 2nd boss MW is peaceful asf
dont forget skyfury for both fdk and prot
what is it that fdk even brings
thats a pretty big one
i dont know dk well, but GENERALLY, i prefer bdk + fdk over uhdk
Occasional death strike if low
im starting to understand uh more but i suck the big one at uhdk
the reason your loved vdh was meta was not due only the cc, it was uncapped damage, chaos brand, and tankiness equivalent to all other tanks
it aint good at all
Pretty tanky too and ams
yeah love sham buff, why I'll bring my ele bud most of the time w/ disc
i get to 30% of boss , die and then get rezzed 3 times in lfr
Chaos Brand on tank goes extremely hard
We need more pure physical dmg dealers
Prot War Rogue Hunt WW only goes so far
Makes Hunt a must for ranged
enhance shaman should be a tank, i dont know how you give class ability to wear shield and then they cant be a tank
also not to mention VDH's darkness became incredibly strong after the rework
maybe enhance does dw 1h i dunno
I may level a VDH after my Protadin alt
Tried blood feels horrible to play
After warrior esp
blood is disgusting with gear and raid or party buffs
U don't die unless u get one shot I guess
But prot warr just doesn't take the dmg in the first place kekw
Protadin seems to be an excellent aoe tank
Everything is cleave and dmg becomes absorb shield
100 -> 1% on bdk I sleep. 100 - 60% on prot I shit pants.
bdk vs mythic keystone boss especially cap vault key
is literall
"when do i wipe?" - bdk
Fr esp if u have runic pow lol
Healers hate tracking whether if BDK will self heal or die tho
hey guys do you follow any site in specific for BiS list. Every site seems to be slightly different with trinks etc but archon has swarm / ara trink
yeah I mald if my healer spots me past first 5 secs of a fresh pull
we follow wowhead and icyveins #protection-faq
and sims
how do you even heal a bdk in a +13, just for example, do you just absorb them and regen
?
this meta diversity as you goes higher key is so funny in DF lmao
I follow wowhead and figure myself on the way (like if I craft a weapon/shield first even if not bis, which trinket I use for what)
and then they heal them selves alot?
yogi
you watch runic power
if runic power = dont heal
no runic power = heal
thats it
simple as
Bruh when prot warr that bad I just quit frfrfr
And just in case external him on pull
But also seasons like this is when u can rank rly high in your own spec rankings
non-meta does not mean incapable
Cuz every sucker rerolls
most regulars here played DF completely as prot
My resto druid friend is like top 50 on some dungs now because everyone is a shammy
as did i
the problem with df dh was that they had so many stops most pugs could just chill and let the dh do everything
the only season where prot has been actual dumpster fire was SL S1
i wont even lie, im watching sum dude stream doom 3 content on youtube lol
🫠
I played S1, maxed out the game then quit
RN even
god sl s1 pre-reprisal was great
I miss BFA corruption thunderclaps
thats what we have now with thane
Nahh it's not at that level where your dps is below in overalls
In DF S1 I often beat my DPS in Nokhud offensive with spell reflect abuse
2nd boss and last boss
Insane dmg
It was broken because of conflict and strife
Not corruption
Peaceful times
what was
did we forget about the 20 man tank TD raid?
Bfa war prot
kill bosses in 40 seconds
Every thunder clap you just dodge every attack ?
DC + BoMx3 did work
prot's damage was by far and wide the best
no
CnS was the mini root on mobs
it wasnt the reason
Yes and you walk out of range you would just not be melee
it was prot's damage
And dmg yes
no
it was just
damage
conflict and strife wasnt in the picture
we padded Zul before shit became blockable in s2
we knew what we had
the damage was insane with DC and BoMx3
and AM resetting demo
and LS
I miss TD , it was stupid and all but damn laser goes brrrr
the s2 changes just solidified prot as meta
everybody want to see the deathstar explode in starwars
because everything that killed us in s1, like throw rocks and shit became blockable
so Damage + Defensiveness = meta
plus reaping
uncapped TC spam
Damage + Defensiveness + Battle Shout on rogues = meta
I miss nyalotha hc clears with 29 tanks
Yea was fun ngl
Stupid but fun
Wasnt there also like 1tank full mages runs or something ?
Yes and they killed ilgynoth when he disappear from the room just from fire mage mastery
Personally I liked ilgy mm no dispel strat
funnest alt was my hpal though
Hum
thats how chipadin came to be
Alts in bfa what a topic
15k shit to farm to buy corruptions on a monthly rotation
it was bad yeah but
doable
chipadin and magechip farmed full corruptions
those were my 2 active alts there
God before essences account wide you had to farm conflict and strife in PvP on all alts
oh
shearchip too
cause i did raden weekly for slappers
bro
you have something for conflict and strife
holy shit
i swear to god i never used it anywhere
on any of those 4 characters
Oh the rank 4 ?
It was that essence that doubled vers when stunned ?
And some tanks just hit their corruption adds just to be invincible
Or I don’t really remember
There was a thing that if you are stunned you gained like 50% or double vers
TBF, corruption was the source of the 40% versa meme
And yet you would still get os by random player shot in freehold
shrug i did Voice major and lucid + sphere minors
a lot of us did
conflict and strife was kind of a meme
an "acceptable" meme
I played brew back then I didn’t follow the prot hype yet (was SL I started to be interested in war)
Sad to have no hp so TD didn’t do dmg as other tanks
lucid and ineff + hasteful on hpal was cracked
thats why i loved it
and full masterful with junkyard bracers fire mage was also cracked
i dont remember what i ran on shearchip
i just remember doing heroic raden weekly
and whenever i had tokens for bonus roll
I know half dudes where hoping to drop his agility weapon
yes thats what i mentioned earlier
i think warlocks want the neck from threads for some reason
slappers
its not a haste neck so i dont care about it, didnt drop for me or nothin
im typically not mean like that if i get loot someone else can use and they werent being a jack ass i might trade them loot
Nzoth trinket : you will not die if you press that (1 min cd)
i hated junkyard for the most part
I hate « gimmick » dungeons i don’t know what to call it
i just dont like games that are overly opressive any thing in any game
fastest way to get me to turn it off and do something else
soon as i feel like i cant beat the boss
what do you consider as "overly oppresive"?
when the challenge goes from fun to bullshit to total bullshit
dunno how else to put it
like you THINK you know how some boss works that your scared of on a 13 ill use that as example cuz thats lvl most ppl scared of, and you THINK you know exactly how he works and how to beat him
When we say you should have 40% haste unbuffed for Into the Fray, does that mean be at 40% WITH Into the Fray, or 40% before you talent into it
then you go and try it and it doesnt work anything like how you thought it does,
Before talented into it
Sheeit
42.069% haste
best example of this i can think of is you try to do a raid
I'm at 15k haste so I need another like 4k haste, damn
Should i just use heavy repercussions i only have 18% haste smh 8k. I cant keep my shield block up
yes
Yes
use heavy repercussions
!spellreflect
HR is kinda Nice to have tbh, always SB
i can use my other 5 braincells for other stuffs
!bsv
You have FIVE!?!?
see pins and/or 3rd link in #protection-faq
I thought my 3 was good

Hi, I tried searching to see if there was info on this but didnt find it, I have a macro that casts ss and thundeclap everytime they are up, its spammed pretty much, is this completly wrong? I feel like my dmg is way down and it slows my play not having the macro though.
Yes it is wrong
Very wrong
ill go stand in the corner...
Like it’s a cast sequence ?
Like how do u even come up with such macro?
yes
you can't really cast both as they are on gcd
I used it on my lock when I had the cast staff from last expansion
so it doesnt use both, it just is almost a if this is up use this.
I guess ? But what it has to do with war
staff from nymue
Yeah, it was the staff from....I dont remember but it was an execute staff, so when I spammed shadowbolt it would use the staff
And I think a on use staff effect is off gcd so yeah macro worked
nothing, the ask was what was the use of the original macro
for an SS + TC macro to work it would have to be a cast sequence
and that's a big nono for us
anyways, its a cast sequence, and uses which ever is up
I never understood what cast sequence do
But you can put conditions ?
#showtooltip
/targetenemy [noexists]
/castsequence reset=10 Shield Slam, Thunder Clap
/cqs
dont do that please
put all your skills into a cast sequence and just pray
which is ever up it utilized
ss being first
Technically he could
Cast shield slam
Cast thunder clap
And it would always prio SS if its up
But that’s incredibly bad practice
and youre just missing SS casts
Do not recommend at all
10 like it cast every 10 seconds SS ?
lol no, it just is up ever time one is up
We need runs where literally everyone in the party has one button that is a cast sequence macro
You’re limited to two gcd abilities without cast sequence
And the goal is to clear somehow while only utilizing that one button
And it prioritizes the one you have on top or “first”
Again do not recommend
But for Uber casual gameplay you could
I’ll try to understand how to do cast sequence macro and will try to not deplete a key (it’s my weekend thing)
Thanks! this is what im looking for. I appreciate it.
its not just sub optimal
