garuntee it

#

i know what the problem is i played paladin 2004-2006

lusty grotto
#

wait no those are kicks

#

yeah thats on par with 90% of the rets

tribal wharf
#

every time he gets into trouble, he hits bubble

sharp gale
tribal wharf
#

ya, someone needs to show him the way of the light, thats probably his alt i bet

sharp gale
#

maybe i should take brutal vitality, still kinda weird to have to thunderclap before every IP

#

well i have to SS, Revenge and TC before every IP

lusty grotto
#

do you want a ret that kicks? thats 10% of the ret pop
do you want a ret that freedoms other people? thats 5% of the ret pop
do you want a ret that sacs and dispels? that's 5% of the ret pop
do you want a ret that LoHs and WoG offheals? thats 10% of the ret pop

do you want a ret that does all of those? youre looking at the 1%, or Nimchipadin 😎

#

sadly nimchipadin hasnt done keys this season because i couldn't give a shit about them on that alt that raid logs

sharp gale
#

you want a bop on duo adds in NW, 1 specimen

tribal wharf
#

nim, master of paladins i deem you for this questio

#

whats the deal with other sac (paladin)

#

does not compute

lusty grotto
#

what you mean

tribal wharf
#

pala trree

#

the secondary sac spell

#

u can choice it

lusty grotto
#

oh

#

you mean Recompense?

tribal wharf
#

i never ever understand that talent and then the dusk and dawns, there is 2 of them and both read near identical

#

at the bottom

#

other than that, paladin fun

lusty grotto
#

idk tbh

#

i dont play Sac choice node

#

i play vanilla sac

#

and Dawn

#

theres very little reason to play Dusk

tribal wharf
#

i think i tried to do all judgement build when i did like 5 seconds of ret play

lusty grotto
#

just send Dawn every time

#

ret is ridiculously easy to play

#

so their utility is just an added thing

#

thats why i like it

#

i can just chill a bit and dps on my alt raids

tribal wharf
#

oh, im a not cleanse user either

sharp gale
#

my friend did 90 percentiles parses in DF with hekili

#

as ret

tribal wharf
#

i dunno what i was trying to make here

lusty grotto
#

i mean recompense is fine

#

i just dont usually play it

#

but its wasted if you dont actively sac

#

depends on the fight really for me

#

might play it when i dust it off and finally start doing keys on it again

#

but not for vault keys

tepid reef
#

Okay, how are tanks surviving anima slash in 11s and 12s

#

wtf is this mob

#

(I got slapped down on the double guardian pack in an 8)

deft mortar
#

Tbf because we yell on disxord

#

Pretty chill

mellow quartz
deft mortar
#

When I got all my premades we always beat time

#

And if we don't we continue whatever key

tepid reef
mellow quartz
#

You don’t need something for all but helps

deft mortar
#

U can spell reflect 1 cast wall the next spell reflect the 3rd and wall the 4th again no?

mellow quartz
#

Also track the CD on nameplates and use SR when abt 3s left

#

Means you get more reflects

#

SR

tepid reef
#

yy i got one of every 4 slashes with reflect

mellow quartz
#

I reflect, wall, reflect, spell block, reflect, wall when SB is down

#

You can get 2 per 4

#

If you reflect early enough

deft mortar
#

I don't use SB kekw

mellow quartz
#

At the start

mellow quartz
tepid reef
#

spell block op op

deft mortar
#

Just manage CDs ez

mellow quartz
#

Dot still hurts with SB but initial hit does nothing

deft mortar
#

Yooo I gotta do Ulduar to get the Stam trinkets for shits and giggles

#

Bet they won't drop

wraith olive
#

Does Ignore Pain work like Ironfur? Can you get away with spamming it when rage is overflowing?

lusty grotto
#

you use it at 70 rage

deft mortar
#

Ye always spam IP to avoid rage cap

lusty grotto
#

is not the same as ironfur

#

also you dont spam ironfur

#

youre not playing bear correctly if you spam ironfur outside of incarn

#

and even in incarn

#

rage starving yourself on both classes for no reason

#

the equivalent of ironfur for warrior is shield block, which is the most important mitigation

#

IP is a lot more similar with maul/raze more than anything as Mountain Thane

pallid quiver
dusky canopy
#

Me macro iron fur to thrash, swipe, mangle

lusty grotto
#

you forgot raze

#

if youre playing boringlune

dusky canopy
wraith olive
lusty grotto
#

you can get 2-3 IF stacks

wraith olive
#

Things seem to happen very fast in dungeons

lusty grotto
#

and then stop and refresh

#

jesus christ steve

#

wait thats not steve

#

ok so

#

on prot you wanna keep SB up all the time

#

or as much as possible

#

so thats why its similar to iron fur (fel spikes, boneshield, SotR)

#

its our defacto Active Mit

#

and by far the most important one to keep up

#

the way you use IP, is as a rage dump

#

meaning when you hit 70 rage, you press it

#

do not spam it

#

but with proper play, you will press it constantly

vague abyss
#

ugh, when raidbots recommends the concotion kiss of death 😦

#

and i know why, i dont have a fu***ing egg yet

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

you dont have to censor fucking

#

its the internet

vague abyss
#

xD

urban portal
#

Kiss of death is great

vague abyss
#

i mean, probably because my only high trinkets are abyssal trap, ceaseless swarmgland, siphoning lightbrand and swarmlord authority xD

#

i kind of have a meat hook, but is a veteran one so it fell behind

#

what i dont get is why the shadow-binding knife is so high, the stat debuff doesnt proc that often?

lunar scarab
#

I'm a fury main but learning to tank in my spare time. How important is it to get another set of gear with more optimized secondary stats?

strong forum
#

not at all important

lusty grotto
#

not as important

strong forum
#

just get some haste

lusty grotto
#

might need more haste but thats it

#

SMH

#

beaten by nome

lunar scarab
#

thats good to hear, thank you. ok perfect I'll just grab a couple haste pieces on the side

neon elk
grizzled orbit
#

Guys, were do i find a pug friendly mdt route for all s1 tww dungeons? around +10s

jagged gust
jagged gust
#

So sometimes great, sometimes bad but good on average

grizzled orbit
neon elk
#

Most of the time u can do 10s by just pressing W

tribal wharf
#

just dont pull like a moron

#

and kick

#

and you will probably win

jagged gust
#

honestly, as long as your group isn't inting you can time a 10 with small pulls

grizzled orbit
#

yeah i used some keystone shit routes, but thats to hard xD

lusty grotto
#

i dont think there's any shit routes for a 10

tribal wharf
#

kick spells, cd on cd, lust on boss and on cd is best advice you can give group

grizzled orbit
#

like in stonevault, pulling the whole corridor then 2 golems with side pack, it hurts

jagged gust
#

I was carrying a 560, 590 and 600 group through an 8 and we missed time by a single death doing nothing but solo pat pulls

#

Timers are very forgiving rn

tribal wharf
#

i still dont like mists

#

only doing it once

#

many reasons, short timer one of them

#

it is a good dungeon do not get me wrong, but its the type of thing i dont want to have to deal with often

jagged gust
#

arakara final boss

tribal wharf
#

thats not that bad really

#

its easy with lust

deft mortar
#

Mists is chillest easiest dung

tribal wharf
#

i dont like mists, never will fully like it

jagged gust
#

Usually get to the boss with a good several minutes on timer, then 50 deaths followed by me soloing the boss from 40%

deft mortar
#

U can literally leap out of Ara'kara final boss

#

Hell u can even just pop defensives and survice

tribal wharf
#

all u need is shockwave in the general direction of add

deft mortar
#

SoB 1st boss...

#

Goddamn thing isn't even tanked

vocal sapphire
#

maybe this has been asked too many times but for mythic plus Do i want to run colossus or Mountain

deft mortar
#

But it's colossus if u got balls

#

Frfrfr

frosty mango
jagged gust
#

Only issue I have with sob is on final boss, healers dispelling at the wrong time and nuking 3 dps simultaneously

#

what's the shaman strat?

deft mortar
frosty mango
#

If you have 3 dps stacked ever in sob they’re morons and deserve to die

frosty mango
tribal wharf
#

i'll be a little bit honest, i think wow is fun when there is some drama to it

#

someone gets a stupid god damn 2 hand mace

#

and everyone wants it

#

loses there minds

deft mortar
#

Personal loot god sent

jagged gust
#

we had 2 sacbroods drop in 8s back to back last night, we lost our fucking shit

cosmic heron
#

Guys weapon upgrade can make us more tanky? cause a friend change his 606 weapon per a 636 and he felt WAY more tanky. it's just the flat stats? or some spells scale with weapon dmg? ty!

deft mortar
#

He's delusional

tribal wharf
#

imagine the drama if after a keystone you had to roll for gear

deft mortar
#

But overall 2 ilvl upgrade is solid

dusky canopy
#

You essentially do roll for gear

dusky canopy
#

It’s just behind the scenes

frosty mango
tribal wharf
#

i mean vs the party

frosty mango
#

You just don’t see it

#

Yes that’s exactly how it works lol

tribal wharf
#

all 5 players can roll on it, if loot speced

deft mortar
#

I loot type gg and HS to dornogal

frosty mango
#

You get x pieces of loot and the game randomly decides who gets loot on your behalf

tribal wharf
#

did you ever play classic, and some blue weapon drops

#

hunterweapon ensues

jagged gust
#

or just general ninja shenanigans

#

good riddance

tribal wharf
#

well ninja no

#

but like, if you can equip the gear and you were in the party , you can roll on the gear

#

same as lfr

sharp gale
#

Like in raid in general no ?

tribal wharf
#

like for keys

jagged gust
#

a huntard and a loot ninja are like chaotic good and chaotic evil, same outcome, different perspective

dusky canopy
#

Yogi the game does exactly that

#

You just don’t have to click a button

tribal wharf
#

sac drops , everyone who can roll, is allowed 1 chance to roll or not

lusty grotto
#

no thanks

sharp gale
#

Just to sell it to others

lusty grotto
#

i had enough of that in vanilla and tbc

jagged gust
#

'member kicking people from the group for needing on a green? I 'member

lusty grotto
#

yea i remember

#

monkchip is 77

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

still no recipe

tribal wharf
#

ya well, thats the fun of it

#

cuz then some bullshit happens and drama happens

jagged gust
#

Gotta be juggling those sacs, bro

waxen frigate
tribal wharf
#

i know there for fact there is tons of guilds break up over some boots

#

asmon still mad about some classic gloves

lusty grotto
#

hoping you also fondle the sacs Nish

#

for luck

sharp gale
#

Rcloot dramas exist

dusky canopy
#

Fuck sac damnit!

#

Drop already

lusty grotto
#

just grab Nish's sac

#

or sacs

dusky canopy
#

I WILL

lusty grotto
#

MFer is hoarding sacs

tribal wharf
#

i have to assume spell block doesnt stop webs

#

im still on about threads ya, its an easy key to farm, might as well learn deep seated tech about it,

#

i assume it just does loads of spell blocked dmg to me and then i have to clear it anyways, you cant pre avatar it i learned

stark helm
#

is colossus fun to play in m+ or just rage starved?

jagged gust
#

not in aoe

sharp gale
tribal wharf
#

well, i gotta learn how to do these keys correctly

frosty mango
#

If you think running around frantically trying to gather adds is fun then yes it’s very fun

tribal wharf
#

there is a fuck load of strats and stupid things i have to know if i can or cant

timid pivot
#

I have sac, what's other trinket do I use with it: Spare Hook, Waning Candle, Foul Behemoth or Oppressive Larynx ?

jagged gust
#

bloodsurge is enough in trash pulls to keep you revenge spamming

frosty mango
jagged gust
#

sim for the right answer as always

frosty mango
#

You can sim it if dps is your goal

lusty grotto
#

these followers in follower dungeons are so fucking stupid

#

they really did a good job imitating pugs

sleek wagon
lusty grotto
#

youre pulling the entire first area in priory and the mfers are jumping around like idiots body pulling sides for no reason

#

they are so absolutely stupid its funny

sharp gale
tribal wharf
#

what about hammer vs shard

lusty grotto
#

this idiot in particular

sharp gale
lusty grotto
#

LOOK AT HIM

#

the resto druid is also fucking stupid

#

but that guy takes the cake

sharp gale
dusky canopy
#

@lusty grotto

lusty grotto
#

i was wondering what that was

#

thanks

dusky canopy
#

Pretty cool actually,
just watched the video he made

graceful kite
#

Tried out colossus in raid

#

love/hate talent

#

reminds me of sl unfoly with big cool burst and after that you're sad with no resource

barren vale
#

Hey team just a question about tanking Queen on heroic. I'm having an issue i cant seem to figure out. During the knock up phase...Im taking around 14m dmg from Queen melee while in the air. I do not have agro--I do have the Liquefy
-it happen 6 or so times last night- I know I'm missing something but i don't know what it is. i also could just be slow-

golden rover
#

You use bis tier list for trinkets or just sim in raid bots for max dps?

lusty grotto
#

both

nocturne spindle
#

are you guys like

#

tanking the blow up ads near the center???

barren vale
#

middle of the outer ring

nocturne spindle
#

thats the only way i could imagine some queen melee would get you

barren vale
#

for boss

#

with an inside ring and an outer

lusty grotto
#

do you have logs

barren vale
#

yes

nocturne spindle
#

&

lusty grotto
#

link

golden rover
#

i have ara kara trinket at the same itlvl than the others but the raid bots never say me to use it -.-

lusty grotto
#

how are you simming, link the sim

nocturne spindle
#

oh

#

are you talking about the green bubble pop?

#

i thought you meant the transition to phase 2

lusty grotto
#

i thought so as well

lusty grotto
#

are they not talking about that?

nocturne spindle
#

he said he has liquify

nocturne spindle
#

i dont think it last that long

lusty grotto
#

do you mean the nipple pops as "knock up"?

barren vale
#

yes

#

sorry

lusty grotto
#

uhh

nocturne spindle
#

i mean your just getting agro then

lusty grotto
#

yeah

barren vale
#

eeh

#

i have that issue alot seems like im always pulling agro

nocturne spindle
#

i mean

#

you get agro

barren vale
#

they told me to push less buttons

nocturne spindle
#

die

#

its like right there

#

nothing weird happening so

#

just gotta make your other tank do more threat

golden rover
grim bobcat
#

What did you guys craft with gilded crest ? I have 616 1h 623 shield both heros. I head about the 2h trick but then i need to get myth track in vault anyway

lusty grotto
lusty grotto
#

oh

#

theres one yea

#

but its weird because you guys didnt out damage each other

pastel remnant
#

for raid..should i go haste/vers or haste/crit is good to ? i mean for defense..dont really care about dps..just want to be more tanky for now

lusty grotto
#

this is not an agro pull

#

it was something else

lusty grotto
#

for 1 min or 1.5 min

golden rover
barren vale
#

also....maybe the other tank moving to the nipple it out of range so i get it by default?

lusty grotto
#

i mean

#

if he has agro queen should move with him

vague abyss
#

anyone have a weakauras for the trinket "Concotion of Kiss of Death"?

lusty grotto
#

im guessing that if his circle is popping up first

#

she swaps

#

for a second

barren vale
#

then bang

lusty grotto
#

cause you guys didnt outdamage each other

#

that shouldn't have been a threat pull

#

no taunts at :37

#

no bops

#

no melds

#

similar dps

#

it has to be something janky with the knock ups

#

are you leaping down from the knock or something?

#

just curious

barren vale
#

nah i tried that and went to far and ate a ring so i stopped

lusty grotto
#

yeah well i dont think there's any other way to explain it

#

let me check the replay

simple drum
#

Question: What key seems appropriate to pug + tank as Prot Warr at ilvl 614?

jagged gust
#

that depends on your own skill level for that particular dungeon

lusty grotto
#

oh weird i cant see player positions in the replay

barren vale
#

yea the replay is janky

lusty grotto
#

ok well let me ask you this

#

is his circle getting popped first for any reason?

#

maybe his is closer or something idk

jagged gust
#

Like can you knock out a 10 at 614? Yes. Can you knock out a 10, though?

simple drum
barren vale
#

could be yes...should be but we are haivng issue with people doing it....and mine would be close as the inside ring...they have the outerring slightly behding the boss

lusty grotto
#

ok

#

just a tip

#

put both circles next to her

#

one in, one out of the arena

#

and pop at the same time

#

that makes sure your melee has uptime on the boss, not that dps matters in that phase anyway but still

barren vale
lusty grotto
#

either way, im inclined to believe there's something weird going with the knock itself

barren vale
#

word tyvm ill keep working on positioning at least i got a direction to work on

grim bobcat
night oracle
#

does the affixes in S1 have fixed /trackable timer?

#

or they just happens randomly

urban bane
#

It is semi-fixed, like how afflicted and such were. a minimum time of about 1min30sec which has to go by. There are WAs to track

#

I can’t remember the exact minimum but something like that. Time only proceeds while in combat

pallid quiver
#

u only proceed while in combat

#

gottem

graceful kite
#

not great not terrible I guess for first time colossus

urban bane
placid raft
#

Anyway i started blasting

rocky crest
#

Anyone finding colossus better than than in +m ?

lusty grotto
#

thats not proper play

rocky crest
#

I've been seeing a trend going that way atm

lusty grotto
#

you're thane, revenge should be your last priority

placid raft
#

I don`t see the problem using revenge there

#

it wasn`t a high key

lusty grotto
#

doesnt matter

placid raft
#

In a high key i don`t have rage for revenge xD

lusty grotto
#

thats not proper play

#

SS=TB > TC > Rev/Exe

#

you only revenge when you dont have TC or SS up

#

you burn rage with IP

#

youre doing less damage overall

#

by revenging

#

youre not burning rage fast enough

#

so avatars will reset slower

placid raft
#

I spamm a lot of IP

#

But yeah i should try using revenge less

#

I`m gonna tank an 8 right now so i will update soon

lusty grotto
#

you dont spam IP

#

you use it at 70 rage to not overcap

#

does that make sense?

sweet summit
#

holy moly i'm owning

marble night
lusty grotto
#

over 8 targets its something like

#

TC takes a bit more prio

marble night
#

Oh wow it takes 8 targets

lusty grotto
#

natty TC, because TB takes prio every time at 2+ targets

marble night
#

Yeah I’m talking bout natty TC

#

Damn such a bait to press it before SS in aoe. Is it just because SS=SB uptime?

drifting dagger
#

What about 1st boss of MOT, when the chains break and u gotta blast I’ve been spamming revenge when SS/TC on cooldown should I burn my rage with IP like normal? I was just trying to max damage on him

grim bobcat
#

Am i crazy or when playing tauren the mobs go through you when you move with them?

lusty grotto
#

because using IP means your next GCD will be SS or TC

#

do you get what im saying

drifting dagger
#

Ok I’ll go back to my standard IP rotation

void wadi
#

why is flask of alchemical chaos better than normal haste flask?

drifting dagger
#

Yep

lusty grotto
#

youre burning a gcd on revenge which doesnt do much

#

as thane

#

while you can use that same gcd on an SS or TC/TB

#

and burn rage at the same time

#

due to IP being off-gcd

#

revenge does no damage

#

as thane

drifting dagger
#

I’m still ok to revenge to fish for a SS/TC proc if both are on cd and I have nothing to press below 70 rage tho right?

lusty grotto
#

of course

drifting dagger
#

Ok just making sure

shell fox
#

what this means

#

on wowhead.

sweet summit
#

equal or less than

lusty grotto
#

greater than or equal

sweet summit
#

wait

wet bone
#

greater than or equal to everywhere

shell fox
#

god damn. i got jebaited.

sweet summit
#

6>5

#

yeah

wet bone
#

lol

sweet summit
#

i have the stupid

shell fox

☠️

wet bone
#

H Queen pugs are the damn worst

tight storm
#

did swarmlords get better? i noticed a few of the top pwarr's are running it in m+

shell fox
#

is getting 4% more versa worth losing 5% haste?

#

i have stupid

wet bone
#

I love the shit outta haste and crit

void wadi
#

hey guyss

#

what flasks do u all use?

lusty grotto
#

alchemical

void wadi
#

why not haste flask?

#

alchemical minus stats

lusty grotto
#

because chaos sims better

lusty grotto
#

and also alchemical chaos is generally cheaper

wet bone
shell fox
#

w neck

lusty grotto
#

🤷 i have 4% versa

wet bone
#

I have 4 as well lol

lusty grotto
#

doesnt make a difference

shell fox
#

no neck

wet bone
#

no, I have 6

shell fox
#

i guess i'll put more crit then

shell fox
wet bone
#

29 percent crit/36 percent haste in game right now

terse hollow
#

So im about to hit my first 90 gilded, i have crafted shield and wrists with embelish and a 619 weapon. which should get bumped up first?

dusky canopy
wet bone
#

shield or weapon

terse hollow
#

i feel like i just want to be tankier though so shield is probably right

dusky canopy
#

Shield

shell fox
#

one last question

#

actually nevermind

valid bridge
#

If I've got a 619 weapon and shield already, which makes more sense to craft 636 first, the weapon or shield?

#

(I only have enough crests for one or the other currently)

smoky anvil
#

Shield

#

Shield is love, shield is life. Girthy shield to protect you, broad shield to defend it.

proud dock
#

does the SB from Bolster stack on an already active SB duration?

#

as in, use SB before Bolster or after? asking if its similar to Shield Charge

lusty grotto
proud dock
molten gorge
shrewd shadow
#

hey guys, new to prot warrior, is there some pieces that i should craft ?

foggy ingot
#

We got there gamers

high wyvern
#

How much haste do yall have

molten gorge
#

Grats, time to get all the portals next 😎

high wyvern
#

I have 25% and feels like a turtle

wary sierra
molten gorge
#

35% unbuffed rn, feels nice, especially with ITF

wary sierra
#

But could trade versa for haste as pot

high wyvern
#

How yall reaching 35% haste holy

molten gorge
#

Idk, I'm 626 tbf, probably why

wary sierra
#

Yeah 624 here

#

If you need a comparison. But still alot of tweaking to do:

tribal wharf
#

im half way tempted to craft gloves

#

seems to be the worst tier set slot we have

wary sierra
#

Not crazy useful stats aye, although im not sure shoulders are that much better are they ? (completely havent looked)

hoary pivot
graceful kite
#

how do you handle double pull in mists maze

#

one with triple guardian

wary sierra
#

Lots of kiting

#

and spell absorb

graceful kite
#

I managed to not kite in 2 10s in a row I did it but it was close in the first

#

Tho I think I fumbled with cds and just overlapped wall with spell block

placid raft
#

Better now?

lusty grotto
#

much better

#

big improvement

graceful kite
#

Qusestion is is there a way to make people not interrupt atlest the first cast of mists 1st boss

#

I now just type in chat please dont interrupt let me reflect but it works maybe once in 5 runs

lusty grotto
#

unfortunately it has always been that way with pugs

jagged gust
#

and groups

sweet summit
#

even on voice they kick mine!!!

what about rage gen

lusty grotto
#

colossus is still slightly weaker defensively

jagged gust
night oracle
#

what ?

#

that was done in 1s wdy even mean

lusty grotto
#

you could have just Windows key + Shift + S

#

i think is what he means

night oracle
#

yeah same function wise isnt it

lusty grotto
#

or just link it from wowhead

night oracle
#

why bother

#

it's literally

#

pressing the same key

#

and ctrl v ing it

#

stop

lusty grotto
#

ok man

Better now? @lusty grotto

lusty grotto
#

yup

#

very good breakdown

patent musk
#

is rashanan bugged? he seems to be taking more damage from physical?

lusty grotto
#

he wasnt on tuesday and wednesday

#

how are you determining this?

#

any mystic touch shenanigans maybe?

lyric pebble
#

Is Sureki Zealot's Insignia a good neck or just mid? Something with crit is just better?

lusty grotto
#

its a good neck

#

all cantrip accessories are the best in their slots pretty much

lyric pebble
#

Came in my Vault but I could also use the Heroic helm and weapon that came

round pendant
#

my health pingpongs like fuck on dawnbreaker trash packs (before the town) is this normal

lusty grotto
#

grab the neck

#

its rare and everyone wants it

round pendant
#

I use shield wall and then spell block, pack's not dead and I start getting pounded

lusty grotto
#

you get bled there

#

that's probably why

round pendant
#

Is there some heal absorb too

#

feel like I'm constantly on the verge of dying

lusty grotto
#

no

#

well if it is it shouldn't be noticeable

lyric pebble
#

Ok. Thanks for the help

lusty grotto
#

the danger mobs there are the webmage and the commander

#

pretty much

#

commander bleeds, web mage just nukes the shit out of you which is manageable with spell block and reflect

round pendant
#

bro the fuckin web bolts

lusty grotto
#

there's not a lot of umbral rushes on the ships though

#

or maybe im forgetting something

strong forum
#

the bleeds on the commanders do fuck

turbid shuttle
#

on the webmage+commander pack, you need only 1 ranged kick for the commander. everyone else should rotate on the webmage. for the webmage+shadowmage pack, you need a couple kicks for the shadowmage, then the rest can do web bolts.

round pendant
#

yeah at the end of my DB (which we didn't time because someone wiped us on 2nd boss and then my friends mouse died on final boss) I had 30 kicks while everyone else had <8

#

which probably helped make it feel brutal

#

boomie used aoe kick a single time in the entire dungeon (and did 600k overall)

lusty grotto
#

oof

round pendant
#

DB not GB

lusty grotto
#

oh

toxic pewter
#

if i saw a dude doin 600k i would of just called it after 2nd boss wipe

lusty grotto
#

yeah i mean you can just facetank webmages with spell block just fine (and those should cover umbral rushes) but

round pendant
#

tbh I wasn't looking at the meters and we could have still timed it if not for my friends mouse kicking the bucket

lusty grotto
#

you will need some kicks haha

graceful kite
#

Before town there are dudes with bleed

sweet summit
#

casts on tank isn't really that bad, it's bad if your group gets fucked

graceful kite
#

Others should be fine

lusty grotto

yes i mentioned those

#

the commanders

Id like to but it costs 55 euro

lusty grotto

good lord

just go and get a glamour off the ah

#

can be a dwarf

lusty grotto
#

lol

#

i mean it would be great if they gave you the racials too but

toxic pewter
#

I know right I was just thinking that

#

would be actually interesting gameplay

lusty grotto
#

i doubt blizzard would want to miss out on the sweet cash from race changes

toxic pewter
#

is it fully automated you think

#

race changes, even server changes

#

it must be surely theres not a team doing manual changes and crap right

lusty grotto
#

yeah its fully automated

#

no reason why it wouldnt be

toxic pewter
#

my god

#

what a true money machine

lusty grotto

but it has probably been that way since they became a thing

not hard to do

austere oracle

hello, new to prot warr here, how much haste should I have to start picking into the fray in m+?

lusty grotto

ideally you want 35 to 40% unbuffed

I see, thanks!

It did in the dragonflight beta then blizz removed that functionality. it removed magic also

Well i just tanked my first 9 (i mean, first 9 i tanked)

#

These adds in stonevault are insane

wicked pollen
#

which side

graceful kite
#

Which ones

placid raft
#

Skarmorak side, the big void golems

#

the ones with unavoidable damage

#

and big tank hit

graceful kite
#

Umm

wicked pollen
#

theres a tank hit

#

wtf

graceful kite
#

I cant remember them doing anything

wicked pollen
#

yeah me either

graceful kite
#

Like literally anything

placid raft
#

There`s one when you open the door

wicked pollen
#

im just afk

turbid shuttle
#

shadow claw

#

reflectable

graceful kite
#

Theres a silencing cast that makes casters sad but thats all

turbid shuttle
#

will almost 1-shot you in higher key

wicked pollen
#

0 fucking clue

placid raft
#

Ah, it`s reflectable

#

didn`t knew it

#

Thanks for the tip

turbid shuttle
#

cooldown is slightly too fast to reflect all of them

#

unless you run out for ~3-5 seconds to delay the hit

#

the key points on those packs are:

  1. reflect every other shadow claw; shield wall or spell block or (whatever) the ones you can't
  2. kick or otherwise stop every piercing wail (especially if it's during the despoiler's channel damage, violent outburst or something - this is a wipe condition)
  3. if you can, try to watch for censoring gears on your healer and stop it
jagged gust
umbral sierra
#

are there any reflectable spells where honed reflexes lets you reflect every cast but without it you can't?

wicked pollen
#

i think cot last boss

#

lava giants gb

#

cant think of any other dangerous ones

wicked pollen
jagged gust
#

It's really unfortunate how much access we have to CDR on kick but we don't take any of it

turbid shuttle
#

cot last boss 22s minimum in my logs, so should be fine without honed reflexes (it's 20s right?)

#

I can't do every lava fist (with honed) unless I pre-cast by a few seconds. log has it at 16s.

jagged gust
wicked pollen

#

shadowflame slash in grim batol you probably get an extra reflect here or there because there's 2 (or 4 depending on how you pull)

found some video of a boomer complaining about keys lol

graceful kite
#

One azeroth tv?

tribal wharf
#

totally doomering about pug keys

#

he is mad about "git gud"

jagged gust
#

git gud is such an all encompassing term, it's truly wonderful

tribal wharf
#

i sort of wish they had a like, talking head only brann, for dungeons, if you chose to opt into it like it is in delves

#

dont stand in that, kill this, loot that

jagged gust
#

imagine the overlap when you pull multiple casters in a pack

tribal wharf
#

if you want to learn, you can learn with brann, also brann for waze, or anduin for alliance players

jagged gust
#

you'd be hearing brann in your dreams after a few hours

tribal wharf
#

well, it should only trigger every so many seconds, and for whatever does the most damage per second, like fire pool

graceful kite
#

Bad video

tribal wharf
#

i agree bad video, but its a hot take

graceful kite
#

Just nagging about random stuff

tribal wharf
#

parts of he is right

#

not all of it, lots of it is complain, yes

#

i still think it comes back to the visual problems i mention in stone vault

#

2 visual problems, perfect examples that can be fixed by making the sprite size larger where it spawns, for the anvil for the buff, and for the smoke on the vent right after

#

cuz i ran that place like, 10+ times as key, before i learned either even existed

#

i think there has to be a glossary, is the biggest thing, like for fear, often fear is a large purple swirly on the ground,
all it has to do is list the types of possible fear types you can be hit with, and an example fear circle.

#

the , increasing the size of the smoke/sparkles, on the anvil/vent doesnt have to be a high quality the texture thats being used for that
if its a performance deal

jagged gust
#

that vent do be catching me off guard from time to time

tribal wharf
#

that more smoke + it cleans it self, or, it has a chance to do 2 vents instead of just 1

#

i think is the fix on that fight

frozen canopy
#

does duskthread linen stack?

#

cuz i have 2 rn and they dont seem to stack

sweet summit

you need to drop below 80%

does blizzard balance prot warrior around spell reflect damage?

warm plinth

No

I still laugh when people insist on bear over war. Playing both it just doesn’t even feel equal. Sucks that bear is basically the only way to get verse buff.

Which mobs do the shadowflame slash again

warm plinth

Nah there is one spell reflect that stands above the rest, and I can't wait for it to come back.

Hi friends. I'm looking at my logs and Details, but I can't find a way to see who and how many times someone was dispelling the affix

#

Anyone know a way to see that info?

turbid shuttle
#

oh... that's not counting it

#

maybe logs only then

valid sleet
#

Yeha I'm looking at the dispells section of the log, it's the only ability not there

lusty grotto
#

yeah it doesnt show up on logs

#

could be a hidden aura

#

and intended

#

so that people dont harass others for not dispelling

hybrid canyon
#

ive got a question how often are yall going in and out of battle/def stance in m+.

lusty grotto
#

mostly in dstance nowadays, but you can swap to battle if you dont forsee huge damage

#

entirely up to you

valid sleet
lusty grotto
#

you can perma dstance if you want

lusty grotto

but from the logs ive seen its not anywhere

the debuff doesnt show up either

Is losing Secondaries and Stam worth it on that Nerubian Anti Magic Shield you can get?

Too long of a CD to be useful I take it.

Not necessary at all

onyx vessel

3% crit

urban portal
#

I usually just tell people it’s 3% damage

#

Because if you say 3% crit then people ask “how much damage is that”

onyx vessel
#

Probably like less then 1%

urban portal
#

Nah

onyx vessel
#

Dont need damage just pull bigger while in dstance

urban portal
#

Much more than 1%

#

2-3% depending on how much crit you already have

I gotta get better at using spell block. Are there any dungeons where people don't use it, or is it the play for most every one?

Am I crazy or is Second Wind useless?

It’s an open world talent

cinder nova
#

I rarely see it appear in fight logs and my keys it's barely there at all.

#

Not your job to heal you in keys

urban portal
#

They added something to make it not useless in combat

#

But it’s still bad

cinder nova
#

Yeah, VV

onyx vessel
cinder nova
#

Which is basically making IP worse

#

I wish they'd make it interact with IV

At least then it'd be kinda cool

urban portal

Nah

It does the job of being good for questing

onyx vessel

Nah it's very likely you have something ticking on you going into next pack you gonna maybe get 1 heal from it every few packs

urban portal

There are plenty of nice things to take in the class tree

hey sorry, what priority of execute phase for colossus?

Your regular rotation

what would you guys drop for BSV? bloodsurge seems pretty good for rage gen so that has a ton of DR value.

deft mortar
#

absolutely chill run, only 4 deaths

#

2 because we got hit by 2nd boss bombs xD

zealous goblet
#

if you want disrupting you drop bloodsurge

tawdry herald
#

fair

deft mortar
lusty grotto
#

drop bloodsurge

#

its not as big of a rage increase as you think

deft mortar
#

and champs bulwark

zealous goblet
#

it is nice for smoother rage though

#

ive got so many times where it ticks and gives me a revenge

lusty grotto
#

i havent played bloodsurge since s1 of DF

zealous goblet
#

thats me being shit though

deft mortar
#

champs bulwark gives you free 17.78% Shield Block uptime

lusty grotto
#

i dont notice it, nor need it

deft mortar
#

On top of free 0.5 rage per second

tawdry herald
#

i have zero issues with shield block uptime so im not sure why id take it just for that

zealous goblet
#

shield charge is worse than ravager when you're thinking of picking up bsv

deft mortar
#

Because it's insanely good lol

lusty grotto
deft mortar
#

Also its good for instant aggro

tawdry herald
#

you say that but i distinctly remember multiple conversations where its recommended to drop shield charge first to pick up utility before anything else

lusty grotto
#

just drop bloodsurge for bsv, and/or disrupting

tawdry herald
#

so idk

#

i havent missed it in the slightest

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

you made the right choice

zealous goblet
#

aye, shield charge isn't shit, it's jsut that ravager is so much better

#

so you keep rav

tawdry herald
#

bloodsurge it is then, ty

zealous goblet
#

its so much fucking damage

lusty grotto
zealous goblet
#

say, someone was handing out this spreadsheet earlier, i forgot where or why

#

it shows double mastery trinkets as like, insanely good for dps

#

was that meant for prot warriors?

deft mortar
#

the stun the free revenge the free SB the instant aggro y'all mad

lusty grotto
#

why would a spreadsheet matter

zealous goblet
#

iunno

lusty grotto
#

if sims say otherwise

deft mortar
#

SC generated as much rage as Bloodusrge for me in my Boralus 11

#

1.2k bloodsurge vs 1.1k SC

zealous goblet
tawdry herald
#

i get so many slam resets im almost never pressing revenge, shield block is up 100% of the time anyways, ive played 5 expacs with no shield charge so i just honestly am not worried about not having it

zealous goblet
#

unless you have logs saying otherwise

zealous goblet
#

ideally you have both and no bsv

#

you arguing with yourself

round cliff

ppl still take bsv in 2024

pallid quiver
# round cliff ppl still take bsv in 2024

sense took BSV once in one of his recent M+ runs, though it's because he was making sure he wouldn't die at all so they could just casually time the key from what I could tell from comms

tawdry herald

the cheat seems useful

pallid quiver

he also hasn't had it for other recent runs either, though

It's not a cheat

ye its not a cheat

if thats not a cheat what is

warm plinth
#

Uh

#

Actual cheats?

pallid quiver

Cheat makes is so you cheat dying

lusty grotto

but youre fine speccing into it that way

As in instead of dying,

#

You don't

tawdry herald
#

ok well other classes dont have wall but we still tell them to wall

warm plinth
tawdry herald
#

🤷‍♂️

#

not splitting hairs

#

its a cheat

pallid quiver
#

Wall is a DR

lusty grotto
#

nah its not

warm plinth
#

what

pallid quiver
#

Survival Instincts is a DR

warm plinth
#

A high DR and a high DR being called the same thing makes sense

tawdry herald
#

but you call it wall in comms

#

you dont say "press survival instincts"

lusty grotto
#

we call interrupt kicks

warm plinth
#

A high DR and a cheat death being called the same thing does not

tawdry herald
#

you say "brother fucking wall"

lusty grotto
#

are they functionally different?

#

cause they arent

#

BSV is functionally different

tawdry herald
#

liek i said im not splitting hairs

warm plinth
#

Cloak of Shadows is not a cheat death either

pallid quiver
# tawdry herald but you call it wall in comms

sir you are either maliciously intentionally missing the point, are missing the point, or very dumb

To repeat,

Survival Instincts is a DR, as it makes you take less damage.

Shield Wall is a DR, as it makes you take less damage.

Purgatory is a cheat, since if you would die, you don't

BSV does not make not die if you would have died. You will die.
Rather, it works like Will of the Necropolis. This matters for what you can use BSV for, since you can't cheat mechanics with it unless it just won't kill you through the DR

#

That is why things like Survival Instincts is a Wall, because it serves the same literal function as pressing shield wall

#

You can't literally die with BSV to cheat a mechanic with it. Does it make it hard to die? Yes, just like will of the necropolis

zealous goblet
#

which necropolis though dumbass

#

naxxramas?

tawdry herald
#

this is the most autistic conversation i think ive ever taken part of

zealous goblet
#

pfft

tawdry herald

literally shut the fuck up

#

im going to continue calling them wall and cheat

you're an idiot

Oomkins aren't legally given rights, so I can understand

just play it 🙂

like i wanna play guardian and feral, but being in such close proximity to boomkin is upsetting

hate wizards

Just remember to double down on your "Us and Them" mentality, and you can get by

Just wake up, every day,

Reminding yourself they're not "b"oomkins

They're oomkins

Don't fall for their propaganda

Bears are good culture, Cats are good culture, Heals are good culture,

Oomkins are bad culture.

round cliff
#

idk how i feel abt resto druid

#

dangerously wizardy, but heals are heals

pallid quiver
#

They are what happens when you don't bathe for seven days and seven nights, only to then proceed to slather yourself in the wretched remains of the first creature you see that has left this mortal coil

lusty grotto
#

that sounds like a thursday for me

pallid quiver
#

how do you fit seven days and seven nights into one thursday

#

i could use that power

warm plinth
#

I have nothing against moonkins as a creature

#

But there is not a single more boring spec in this game

#

And I'll never not be salty about it, because I would love to be a moonkin

round cliff
#

i hate wizards

#

moonkins are wizards by nature

pallid quiver
#

I was told to be biased against oomkins at one point early in my wow career, so I've just rolled with it since

round cliff
pallid quiver
#

I don't even know why; the only thing I remember hearing was they run out of mana, hence oomkin

#

It's not like any of my other biases where I have reasons

#

It's just kinda funny to hate on oomkins at this point

lusty grotto
#

boomies just need to be a little bit more tankier than what the hero trees gave them and they'll be fine

pallid quiver
#

no they should be squishier

In fact, they should have a passive that makes them take 50% more damage from Execute

round cliff
#

part of the reason im hesitant to play druid is cuz feral tends to just be bad for 3 expacs in a row

#

dont wanna b stuck w that

pallid quiver
#

Feral is also weird to play, especially since there's also a ranged DPS spec right there

#

And generally, ranged is better than melee since they have more freedom on positioning

lusty grotto
#

ive seen some ferals pumping

round cliff
#

i play melee by choice

#

fuc ranged

pallid quiver
#

But currently, Feral's in a decent spot iirc

#

Last I had actually checked, it was definitely better than oomkin, at least, but that was also before their buffs

round cliff
#

im afraid of dot classes tho, never played feral and dont like affliction

pallid quiver
#

Feral is a real dot class

#

Not like modern Aff

#

It even snapshots like a real dot class, Feral does
