pings are the best to remind people in the moment. allows dps to tunnel.

Pug DPS barely get a cd out I'm not babysitting them

i have fixed things i ping everytime on a lot of bosses, has really improved pugging

It's a +8-+11 know at least the FUCKING basics

If you wipe in pug on something a ping would have prevented it’s 100% on you

Nah

You cant

That's not how pings work

Also world first myth guilds don't make the tank ping before he pulls the boss 3m to the side

hoary pivot

on any level, providing clear visual and audio queues to your group will help them to focus and remember.

i mean sure. if you have found a mindset which makes you happy about that, more power to you

sharp gale
#

12 years old mindset

But do as you wish, you pay your sub

tender reef

Uh huh look at the adults "I'm responsible for everything if my DPS just dies it's my fault" so good mindset

I have that thing since week1 and didn't use even once

I don't have to give you that stuff because I'm the tank, and I don't have to hold your hand (of 4 RNG people) just because I wanna run a dungeon

thoughts on the trinket Throngus's Finger? if its not listed on wowhead i assume its swamp?

ornate thicket
#

Arguing that nobody should take lead of group? Lol wtf

sharp gale
#

I prefer to give me the best chance of having a good time in pugs

ornate thicket
#

I think a lot of people dont have the mental bandwidth to make calls and play their class.

tender reef
#

Yes I dont

ornate thicket

But it really helps for someone to be pinging or vocal

sharp gale
static gale
#

As someone that’s new to retail, I definitely don’t. This game is hard. Pushing 12+ dungeons, and I can’t manage it all, but I’m trying. Love it when someone else in the pug actually knows wtf to do

tender reef
#

It's like a 15% debuff to care for the whole group, I don't care about those people.

Why sacrifice my logs for those losers and hen imagine they EXPECT it LoL just to blame you and leave after they wipe

sharp gale
#

Wait

static gale
#

People get really angry when someone has a bad run. Maybe it’s just me, but I do find this game hard (that’s why I play) and sometimes you’re just not on your a game

sharp gale
#

Do you actually care about dungeon logs ?

tender reef
#

Yes

#

My logs

Guys i have crafted shield 636 and vault gave me a 623 upgradeable to 639, or i could take a chest 623 upgradeable to 639 (i have 610 chest). Which one do i take? my concern is if those 3 ilvl shield will be more powerfull

tender reef
#

It will be

lofty warren
#

can you craft a 636 and then catalsis it into a tier piece?

white hollow
#

stats of hield are haste versa crafted vs haste mastery vault

ornate thicket
#

Id take the myth chest

tender reef
#

Not about stats ilvl more important, you can get the shield now up it and know u got the best or you go for chest and you have a better solution for right now

#

How do we feel about one vers embellishment then the weapon embellishment?

#

That was 1 is still working when below 80%

Gem laser

dang

tender reef
soft aspen
#

when do we use the mandate trinket

spark wave
#

rash cloak or sac, what has more value for m+?

soft aspen
#

offensively, defensively.?

charred palm
gentle tinsel
#

Sac is bis trinket

spark wave
charred palm
#

yeah thats my logic too. i dont think yo ucan go wrogn with sac

soft aspen
#

so ballsac+mandate is bis?

charred palm
#

probably depends on the content but i think theyre definitely both amazing trinks

charred palm
#

if youre pretty good with mandate killing stuff in m+ i could see it being a good damage increase

sharp gale

so im better

is there any haste breakpoint to pick up into the fray?

You can haste flask (insert streamer name use haste flask)

I'd have to check at home the name if you for it in about 3 hours

Is that the name ? I don't know keks

Otherwise I have to check later okayge

#

I was in pug this priest joined I got the message "priest is on your ignore list" I post in group "oh priest is on my ignore that's not a good sign" you have been kicked from the party keks keks

daring light

so i need 40% haste base before into the fray

Aoe it looks like

hoary pivot

had a similar situation above

long bone
#

AoE, 5 targets, 1 min fight, all buffs except BL

hoary pivot
#

TL;DR was dont sim for aoe

#

even for m+

#

and ST should look very different

tender reef
#

Always ST

#

Aoe is worthless

#

There's only 1 boss

neon elk
#

Larynx can also highroll which makes it go brrr hard

deft mortar
#

But muhh SB uptime 😦 mfs are weak

#

It gives u uptime anyway

#

Also consider if that 8% haste results with 8% more SS casts

#

You get 8% more SS rage

#

Whereas 2 / 19 is about 10.5%

neon elk
#

Idk if thats right interpretation

deft mortar
#

But you get 8% more TC rage as well

you guys rockin with the sikran's endless arsenal trinket? how does it fare compare to the rashan trinket for m+?

Is mountain thane less dps than collossus? None of the top parsing prot warriors are mountain thane based on these logs with no thunder blast.

seems like it does no damage over the course of a run unless you spam that button on CD, even then its pitiful

Does anyone know if [Throngus's Finger] is good or crap xD cant find anything about it so i guess crap?

Because Thane ain't doing 1M revenge crit spams

And I act sim and play more overall as Colossus

saomething weird with colossus sims? my char i simming +15k more dps patchwerk os MT

deft mortar

Altho I play Thane for serious keys, the additional survival is far above my rage starved BT colossus build

jagged pier
#

in m+ after the changes they are still about the same

#

in ST thane should now be more

tender reef
#

🤔 but collos was buffed too no?

colossal might should buff execute damage

tender reef

Was playing thane recently

or even shield slam

no way they can do a 9 mists

Push up your own key and be selective about who you invite

coral wolf

yeah your late to the covo its cos im a fury main and cant get groups so switchng to prot in m+

wouldnt want it any other way, had way too many encounters with (mostly) dps who just ignore everything on the floor, frontals, what not, and to be fair, dont have time to waste on them

The problem with solo queue m+ is queue times outside of the first 2 weeks of a tier are gonna be gargantuan

coral wolf

that too

#

they just need to remove some of the information

#

have a rio score

#

but i guess websites would just track it anyway

#

you cant win

real fossil
#

Be part of the problem!

coral wolf
#

yeah

#

i just need to try and get in more guild groups

old heron
#

idk maybe they should show general % of avoided damage, interrupts taken, stuff like that - maybe it enhances people to perform well on these subjects. rio doesnt say it all - you could have been carried, you got the score, now all of a sudden youre good? nah

#

score is somehow holy

#

because it infers info, but its not guaranteed

Have you listed your own key recently or do you mostly pug into groups

like theres no reason for that aoe splash to overlap with the tidal mechanic

It still say duskthread lining as the #1 option?

Surely that's better than a dawn/dusk thread

If you have a partner

Are you saying go elemental focusing lens for pure single target

what's my next upgrade here friends? the back, a ring or i craft shield?

cuz, its the shield slam they have is also shield block (im talking out ass slightly) and you cant let that buff drop like shield block

high wyvern
#

get a big boi shield

pallid quiver
# tender reef He mad he put wrong embellished on it

Also, I'm not sure how you read 1. Dawn or Duskthread x2 as wrong embel

I literally can't see it

Threads are better than lens since they do more damage the instant a second target is introduced, and there's few fights right now that are pure ST

i strongly dislike having to enchant the weapon once per hour

and having to select other tartgets for the smith one

It's not optimal, but being optimal also requires you to know who swings the fastest

Threads are bis as long as your play isn't ass

Don't listen to anyone else who says otherwise, as you can sim to see the difference;

this is how i taking my paladin atm

like it or no

Like mentioned above, lens does outperform in pure ST, but pure ST is like, 2 fights this season in raid

Secondary stats are kinda worthless and gem gives around 1.5% DPS so with 2 you got like 3% more.

Guys, I have 20k haste raw, just tried out the ItF+BSV-build.

I get that I’m losing two stamina-nodes compared to the HR-build I’m normally playing, but I just feel soooooo squishy.

Anyone else had that experience? My SB-uptime was good, about 90-95, so don’t think it’s that.

Could it be that the ItF-build goes Fueled by Violence instead of extra ignore pain?

Ngl im kinda sad for people that take your advices seriously

Literally same could be said on single target

and how much are you above 80% hp when you do a pull bug enough to do 2m dps

chilly brook
#

I’m not dying so who cares

tender reef

you need to be above 80 for the vers lmao

My health is always a yo-yo tho because brewmaster

then why you in a prot discord

SMH I’m not repeating myself again

neon elk

All of them xd

Let’s all reroll brewmaster

yeah lets go brewmaster so the 80% vers buff never applies but makes us feel better about our self

because big numbers in aoe

So vers is bad now?

nah its just not good

go have griff explain you how his vers only build is the best

hes really smart

checked soem random key i did and it had 77% uptime so

Lens is good, dawnthread is good, dusk thread is good, their differences are in the noise of your damage. Just stop with this trolling, pick what you want, stop flaming anyone for not picking what you think is best

tender reef
chilly brook
#

Typical furry

pallid quiver
# high wyvern So vers is bad now?

It's pretty close to on par with crit; crit just usually outdamages vers. iirc bis setup uses vers threads because it gains value when you gain enough crit, so the rating increase is a larger effective gain for less number

high wyvern
tender reef
#

but thats ILVL 635 and up

#

and not 605

pallid quiver
#

Also, for your question on uptime, this is in a random 13 SV I pulled from Sense's page

inner wren
#

Bros you could go full mastery and I don’t think anyone in here would seriously give a shit

pallid quiver
#

so yeah, it has a non-zero amount of uptime

How is it not good ?

never said its not good

i said gem laser

Hello! What should I get from my vault from these two? I play mainly M+

How important is damage reduction from vers? Is it kinda nice or useless

not as good as the laser gem

nocturne spindle

but also

#

hard choice

pallid quiver
tender reef
#

you can call it kinda nice, but it is useless in the big scheme

chilly brook
#

You have to stack a shit ton of vers for a meaningful difference in damage reduction

tender reef
#

yap

#

i agree with the smart person

mighty valley
#

isn't focusing lens like. literally purely single target

something must be wrong

in aoe only thunderclap

if shield slam didn't also give rage and extend sb... sure

neon elk

Or if it didnt do a fuckton of dmg ..

dont use execute guys

no more execute

why are we acting like you're going to see a meaningful difference in your ST DPS with Lens or AOE dps with threads lmao

execute is banned

you dont

thats the point

we don't use execute with a bunch of targets already, that's the analogy lmao

they tell me thats wrong

and trolling

#

i think its the clearest and most obvious thing there is

chilly brook
#

Continues to misrepresent anything that was said, yep clearly trolling

pallid quiver
tender reef
#

and a pul big enough to pump numbers your health will be below 80% and destroy your vers buff

#

which makes their point so bad

#

i cant even comprehend

#

but they love it

#

so

#

let them

#

ima get food

chilly brook
#

Bro thinks you need to do a big pull to be well into 1m-2m dps

neon elk
#

If u are a lot below 80% as pwar then u do something wrong ngl

#

So play what you want, stop spewing your incorrect rheteric though buddy

does it make sense to craft a ring with the 4th spark instead of a main stat piece so I can get cheaper crest ring upgrades?

tender reef
#

wow im back

#

what did i say wrong

#

rhetorically

pallid quiver

#

that your hp is going to be below 80% regardless of the pull size for any significant amount of time

if you're playing like ass maybe

tender reef

you can literally simulate the uptime

tender reef
#

you can literally just check your logs

neon elk
#

What? 13% is a lot of downtime for you? Xd

pallid quiver
# chilly brook It should

This combined with the "bug" comment makes a lot of sense, since you can still roll on low ilvl items if you have a crafted piece, which is what I was basing it on

tender reef
#

but maybe youre just ass

Im getting a lot of mixed messages about AoE DPS vs ST DPS critcake

yall so fast with the insults, just the facts are lacking

so im wondering if using a spark on ring makes more sense than a main stat piece like boots/cape/belt

tender reef
#

also funny how both people who crafted the vers embellish get so butthurt about getting called out

tender reef
#

yeah its no big difference

#

and if youre below 630 i lvl it doesnt matter anyway

you wont notice any of those

also i meant lommik the vers nerd and griff the i cant math nerd

just as fyi

long bronze
#

It's really a shame how long this troll is going unmoderated

high wyvern

I sim and it say in aoe, dusk pulls quite far ahead. I assumed that in M+ single target isnt very important and the dps difference was quite small

tell me something i said wrong

there's more aoe than st in keys, and thread sims better there. however at the bleeding edge keys, it's possible that bosses become the real blockers and st damage matters more. idk i don't do them. either way it's really a tiny part of your power so don't stress too much about either one. the end

oh wait

but you still do ST dmg in aoe packs

#

oh wow crazy concept

#

so crazy im crazy

neon elk
#

Yea and thread is better there

deft mortar
#

Why is 25% of your overall TC or if you are colossus, Revenge buddy

#

If ST is it

tender reef
#

overall on a bossfight?

deft mortar
#

Overall the whole goddamn dungeon

#

Who cares about boss fight overalls lmfao

neon elk
#

Just because u do ST in aoe doesnt mean it always wins , u can do execute in packs, u dont do that all the time..

tender reef
#

doesnt make any sense of course you make more dmg in aoe

#

thats why you need to buff your ST

deft mortar
#

Yes

high wyvern
tender reef
deft mortar
#

So if you take 5% dmg to what consists majority of your overall you will go ahead

#

It's basic arithmetic

tender reef
#

so 800 vers is 5% mroe dmg ?

deft mortar
#

Where tf did 800 vers come in lmfao

tender reef
#

from the embellish we talk about

#

you also need to be over 80 percent hp

smoky anvil

if youre below its 0

so how many AOE BIG PUILLS you got where your hp stays above 80

the 77% one ?

thats 12% of the dungeon with 0

and at the times where yo need it the most

that was fun i get some food

Hi all. Weekly chest mythic track. Should I take chest or weapon? I pretty much only do m+ and want to optimise for end of season rather than right now (clearing 10's ok). Thought weapon but the one I have in the chest is engorged worm smasher (haste verse) so maybe I should hold out for crit/haste. And there are a lot more weapons than chests in the current dungeon pool, so maybe I am more likely to roll weapon again in the future?

Embellishments are too ineffectual to give this much of a shit about. Prio DPS is worth more than aoe pad because it actually makes you progress the dungeon faster (killing smallies faster just to take same time on big mob is irrelevant). Thread gives defensive benefit not just damage. In the end it really doesn't matter. Flip a coin and it will never make or break any key you run.

Just an example, in dawnbreaker. Pre-first boss there's a magic damage channel. 1st boss has a magic dot when you dispel. After 1st boss trash has multiple magic damage channels. 2nd boss has a magic damage channel. Miniboss before last boss has a magic damage channel. Last boss has a magic damage dot.

Literally every phase of the dungeon has something you can use it on to prevent deaths.
