The vault shield might be a low prio for u but the answer would always go just sim
I just don’t wanna end up crafting it, just to get a better shield in vault next week 
I mean, sometimes god just wants to point his middle finger at you and you can't do much else
So true
Guys im in progress at Rashnan with my guild, luckily it is almost done and then i will lose my mind at Ovi… are you guys playing Colossus or Thane in raid, both seems valid but on the logs i see lesser colossus now
I'm in prog too
What u using mate
In using colossus
Luckily we have enough dmg to just aoe stun abd melt then down
I tought you were prot
I just swapped to prot for keys 2 weeks ago cause the 30 minute que timer was getting to me
best change I ever made
Once you get 2600 on prot people let you come to their +8s as arms for crest farm
but that'd mean playing arms and i would never wish that upon anyone
Is arms so bad?
it's cringe
Why? Haven’t played arms since like 5.4
Boomer spec
Isn’t it quite inflexible in like, be either full aoe or full st or be shit at both?
aoe phase? of which boss?
Yesterday was probably the most stressful day of m+. I wish Blizzard would double valorstones and crests for tanks for the nonsense they have to deal with. Maybe even make sure we always get a piece of loot.
was there an hotfix inc today or?
Why stressful? yesterday i did a few +10s withnot any issues?
I heard hunters can turtle the orb soaks
its very healing intense so your healer needs to click buttons
It's a hard boss to heal, remember you have rallying cry and intervene (if specced into magic absorb) to help out.
Otherwise, pick better healers for your keys, tank the boss nicely so that the room doesnt get filled with shit too quickly.
that is just as much on the DPS to not fill the room with shit, i always when tanking it, try to soak 2-3 orbs near the wall. but i am yet to find DPS willing to run out and soak em there.
that fight seems to be outside of our control, cant help people running around like chickens soaking orbs in the middle of the room
ofc you cannot control what the dps do, can only fill your own role as best you can
Or Pick better DPS that know mechanics and use defensives!
ofcourse, that too
yes but any mistakes during a fight can affect what defensives/cooldowns dps and healers have. the cleaner the fight as a whole is the easier it will be to heal that aoe phase
its a 10 mate, any healr can heal that, any dps can live it
ye and that has fuck all to do with the classes oyu are picking
i would say its the player not the class
only pick healers that have cleared the key level your going
i wont tell you because i dont want to create another meta slave
lol
We did a +11 CoT 2-chest with a holy priest lmao
priests are solid ngl
Not holy
disc is, holy not rly
they tend to die tho lmao
how so?
tbh i did a 10 GB yesterday with a Holy priest, was just fine.
Close to no group healing
The struggle begins with 12s
so far ive had the most problems with holy pala
i can imagine, ive not done any 12s yet, only 10s and 11s. i dont really see the point of pushing above that.
just struggles with burst aoe healing which is what a lot of these bosses have
they are insanely good spot healers but not good at burst aoe
Holy pala is fine-ish
For me, the most issues with healers, have been druids by far.
I tend to just go after either a Evo or sham
Monk or sham
Disc/sham for me
Monk is also fantastic
a good monk is great
Havent seen a lot of good monks yet
ye mate better get a meta comp for your +10 CoT
megawatt keeps complaining about mw tho
sham is really hit or miss, a lot of meta slaves who cant heal pick it
Had a grim where the kick breakdown was me 36, shaman 3, rogue 1, restro shaman 3, dk 0. Was called a horrible tank because people were eating bolts. Had another key a 10 mists no one could do over 700k. Had another were the healer stood in mechs and died every boss. Had a siege were the dps didn't under the bombs in first boss. Had a dawnbreaker where they smashed the orb into walls
true, but most shamans ive grouped with has been fine. but yeah, sham, monk, evo, disc, all solid healer choices.
Sounds like you need to pick better players for your keys 😄
They were all like 2600k above i thought that means they atleast know the simple stuff lmao
i would make sure that you're only inviting meta classes to your keys, that will solve your issue
Its not like you find a lot of people with a brain until 12s and even then you shouldnt ever invite ele/mage
2600k is a lot of points
Ah yeah, that happens from time to time, ive had several failed runs as well due to people not kicking, one of the main reason i try to stear clear of NW and SV.
I was like frost and ele and restro
crazy that you were having issues then
lmao
Yesterday it was just really bad for the pugs I got which is whyil I was stressed lol
Dawnbreaker is by far my favorite one though, that instance is fun and ez to time.
Till you get dps who ask "why are we dying" as they make sure the orbs hits the closest wall
You'd think lol
heheheeh never had that happen 😛 i have seen ppl accidently step into the orb though and gotten the debuff before it fires off... but that stuff happened first week or so, havent had it since.
Maybe I just got all the pugs that were carried to their current IO.
Maybe lol, i am fairly picky when it comes to groups
I didn't even respond cause idk what to even say to someone asking that. Maybe in a 2 or something fine
So imo double valorstones double crests for tanks! XD
I mean i wouldnt mind double crests, had so many runs fail due to low DPS etc. dps fucking up etc. and resolving in not timing runs and wasting time.
Or just generally increase amount og crests per completion
It seems fair doesn't it tho? More responsibility deal with more nonsense seems weird we get the same as dps players
yeah, and tbh. the amount of runs we have to do is massive to hit the cap, and i know its ez. for a lot of ppl, but for old guys like me with kids and other responsibilities, its.. tough.
Same i can't play 8 hours a day. I normally play maybe 2 or 3 hours a day if that with Saturday I up it to 4
Plus increasing the rewards a tank gets maybe more will play tank
But thats also a high risk though, because you will get a lot of new players trying to tank which will be just as bad tbh.
tanking takes patience, and willingness to understand tactics and when to use cooldowns etc..
As tanks already not our issue they probably already killing runs as dps lol
I played my alt for a run yesterday had a prot warrior who acted like the best tank ever...never used shield wall his uptime on SB was 60% he did pulls he couldn't handle didn't kick and blamed others
Hey guys i need a shield crafted but i think im on a shit server group or something and cant find a crafter, Can anyone do everforged defender that can maybe ginv me or anything like that?
I think that tank need extra rewards, but if it isn’t loot even some bonuses like consumables.
If talked about cap, they need or increase gain or rebalance for all. Coz like dd your can search dng for eternity
dracthyr?
Its much easier to get invites as a tank or healer BECAUSE of their scarcity, that is reward alone
Nah if you're willing to take on more responsibilities and stress you should be rewarded more then roles that don't have to do much other then don't stand in pretty circles. More Valorstones and crests wouldn't be "broken" the game needs more tanks so make tanking more attractive
I'm curious why you think the game needs more tanks
A huge number of players pug not enough tanks to go around. For dps and healers waiting 30+ mins for a tank is crazy. But none of them will be willing to tank without added rewards since they are all reward driven.
Why would most want to do a harder job for the same rewards
they would play it because they enjoy the role, challenge doesnt have to be a bad thing. if you don't enjoy the role or the challenge (not talking about you specifically here, just generally), don't play the role.
and if the enjoyment of the role is the problem then make the role more fun. extra rewards is not the answer
True I just feel most of the wow player base only respond to more shiny
It's fucking disgusting how hard as dps it is to get into groups
I think you're hugely understating the difficulty of playing dps at a high level. Tanking 10s and 11s is just as easy as dpsing them.
Do you pug or you got a group?
I pug regularly and i group regularly
You must get some good pugs. I run my own keys i pick "meta" or high io players and they still can't do basics. (10s)
100% on this, i Love the challenge of playing tank. But i think its both a matter of enjoying the challenge, and being willing to understand the fights.
They can't be that high io if they can't do the basics. I pretty much wouldn't invite anyone to a group sub 2600 rated.
It's bad for the game imo having that many people struggling to even play. So blizzard should figure something out to get dpsers to play other roles
Yesterday I had a group of 2600 io players. They didn't know not to slam the orb in dawn into walls...
I'm start screenshoting XD
Not an experience I've had in a key since like week 1
Are you checking they've actually timed whatever you're running?
Yea they all had it timed on 10 one had a ++ 9
But everytime on that last mini boss no matter who it went on they aimed it at the wall
One said in party chat "why are we dying"
Yesterday was definitely an outlier tho since I started tanking worst day of pugs. But any day I play there are always 1-3 keys of really bad dps players good io good gear but refuse to kick or refuse to do mechs.
Try inviting off meta dps unless you need the specific utility for some reason
I'm not set in taking only meta. Only thing I always want is a shaman healer I gotten really comfy with them
Hey guys. Anything bis items or items to look out for in the brd raid compared to what we can farm in m+ or narub?
I also refuse to take any dragon bois I hate they can grab me and move me
what do you guys think of the molten furnace trinket?
poop
I switched from mage to tank because how fucked the system it. Applying an hour with 2450 to get invited even for a 10
If you had that power, youd' abuse it too.
Sometimes I log onto a my dracthyr and q up for LFR, spend the entire time moving people around.
I don't raid so M+ is my end game. I also want to switch to tank because of the queues, but I'm also scared
100% it's also why I can't play healer. Someone upsets me I'm let them die cause I can XD
Run all dungeons on 4-8 and learn the routes there and you'll be fine.
After that tanking is super easy.
I am not allowed to play heal because I am bad at wow 
Blame dps for failed interupts 
Do you want to know how many times tank has bricked my keys as a dps
It was your fault.
Source: The other half of tanking is ego mania, remember this.
If i can make the crap talkers in runs die then I'm happy in the end
We will always meat some idjets @hard cipher
Aye. Anyway it's good to tank for a while because they are changing mage every 2 weeks
lmfao
Doesn't mage always have atleast one spec that's meta?
graphic about wipes causes when playing as a tank
Blue slice is too big
Yeah but enjoy-wise shit. Frost is only ice lance spamming, fire is dead and new arcane is boring
Take 50% from blue slice and add it to red slice
Ah gotcha I started tanking because trying to get into keys as arms is just a big nope XD
Rename Blue Slice to „no path available “ and we r fine
perfectly natural reaction. as others have said, tank lower keys. keep your route simple where possible, no bullshit skips. You don't need fancy routes to (ultimately) time 10s. Just play the spec, you'll get more and more comfortable, ask questions in here as they crop up.
Thank you guys!
This. I asked alot of questions in here helped alot
Now i just complain about dps players XD
Also question in 10s what should my dmg be around? Currently I'm doing 700-750k overall
imo, don't swap for racials, if you like the race, just swap.
i race changed my warr to dracthyr allready.
Glide is great though
Thats the one reason i havent swapped
Cause i spamm jump so i would just glide through a boss and get slapped in the back

lmao
helps a lot getting packs together with glide, the thing i miss the most from VDH
it is fun to make small movement adjustments in combat. Last night after my GM had a issue with our sub tank i ended up becoming the off tank of our guild by default and helped tank brd. Glide helped to quickly make small movement adjustments when fighting first boss and to basically become inmune to the fire boss push mechanic
also glide makes you inmune to Ansurek thread yanking mechanic too.
Do u always have to be in dragon form?
This should be illegal
no, altho dracthyr havent learned how to properly pick up weapons in visage yet
dual wielding its ok, but 1h still grabs them on that arms raised/boxing like posture
human form makes your group reg hp out of combat, currently works in combat though because of bug
mogs look nice too in visage, still wish i could separate the visage mogs from dragon form's
Atleast you can stay in Visage perma
What’s the deal with swarmlord. I see the tier list it’s junked and in here people say it’s bad. Then I see it’s the most used trinkets and the logs seem like a lot of healing. Are people just using it cause they see other people use it? Trying to decide between a 626 swarm and the 639 skarmorak shard I ended up with as I look to move into 12+.
Many people use it cuz others use it yes
And I keep fighting to explain that it's mostly just hps padding
In big pulls or dangerous pulls the trinket does nothing
You get like 3-4mil dmg absorb per pull
Which is nothing when you got ignore pain sitting there with 50-60mil
In a huge pull
Swarmlords Just racks up big numbers cuz you just fullsend it on cd so it looks "big" on overall
It's the same way how long haired cats look fat, they're not fat it's just a lot of fluff
@strong forum nah, i dont race swapped to a dragon race to play as an elf 😛
That makes sense. I’ll try some keys without it and fight against the placebo effect. My brain says “you’re tankier now” with it on. But those points seem pretty clear.
Tanking is a lot about being comfortable and placebo
So if it makes you play better even if it doesn't actually do anything, it still does something for your gameplay
its nice having people to help you too, i do keys with guildies and they been kind enough to teach me the routes when i tank
Mechagnome masterrace
its the other way around for me. I just pull, and they yell at me "noooo, don't pull that one too omgsfggergdf!"
Yeh nah
When it matters I want them to tell me
When it doesnt aka below 12, I just W
yeah, once you learn the route that works for you you can just go and https://youtu.be/L3ATsw83-zg?si=7hPlisnAQ3xCVFDe
or that overgeared confident healer that says the magic words https://youtu.be/BddRWK-nYFk?si=IjhkUPn-r-DVxvip
I already know what doesnt work for me so I'll then just not pull the stupid pull
Always mage
Boomkin is very good rn aswell
Even if they've been nerfed
But they're turbo blasting
Warlock also solid like always
Shaman is in a good state aside from being buggy
Yes it's always casters
Evoker in a good state
so I need to just learn to enjoy casters if I want my wow experience to be less schizo?
same
It's really hard to enjoy when my class gets nerfed into the ground
Idgaf about tuning
and my alt gets bugged
I'll make it work
Arms felt decent enough through all/most of DF
felt ok at the start here
and now it's ass
i'd rather play fury cuz higher dps
less buttons
arms definitely pulls ahead most on ST tho. still use fury when not tanking on anything that adds or mt that needs to die fast
I mean wcl position isn't everything but why are we catching strays
especially considering fury hasn't even needed any nerfs after the first one
i still prefer the way thane fury plays compared to slayer
also its fun seeing you start to move up Details ranking when execute phase starts
even though i play slayer because its more dps
I'm pretty sure Fury beats Arms in ST now
thane fury feels a bit smoother to play i think it was
Really blows my mind how rogues never get nerfed
and they're always at the top once balancing settles down
arms is more likely to avoid giving you carpal tunnel too
thats cuz rogues dont bring literal anything besides dps and have to play at melee
if you want life on hard mode wow, play as pug rogue, and turn on pvp mode
I reallylike having WW monnk in my groups atm, they do good dmg and utility.. def. also worth looking at.
i wish they would bring the tank specs from SoD to retail. Rogue tank dracthyr, instant main. Also the issue rogue tank seems to have rn is aoe, wich on retail would be easily fixed by blade flurry
i wouldnt mind if rogue could do something similiar to what warlocks do with healthstone, with the rogue pvp create tradeable potion
i would want that to be basically crappy soul well
what warlock spec should one aim for having in grousp, ive done a few iwth affli lock, and feels like they are below standard in terms of DPS.
2 charges at most maybe just 1 and you can only hold 1, but slightly shorter CD, not huge advantage over healthstones overall
all lock specs are below standard in terms of dps
You take them for SS and summoning stone
provides like you know, 90% effective healing as just hitting a healthstone on cd
you also take warlocks for pets
meta: invite warlock, take cookies, summon friends, kick warlock
pets can aggro shit through walls such as mists, and loads of various other things
don't do this, it's cruel
nononononono yam wrong
browse keys, find one with warlock in it, get in, wipe the group 3 times, leave without using cookie
THEN join new key with fresh lock stone but no lock
i would never personally kappa
besides stealth and party stealth, rogue too much hard mode for me to go back to it
Got chewed out as arms in a pug aotc for low damage
looked at wcl for heroic queen arms
I'm literally doing #1 damage for my ilvl and lower (went through all the ilvls below me)
wtf am I supposed to do, grind out another 10 ilvls before I can clear heroic???
rogue is fun af
Outlaw is a bit RSI inducing tho
aotc pugs are always toxic af. still traumatized that i had to join around 30 to get my evoker legendary back in DF
yeah this one is particularly bad tho
I'm on 60 wipes or so so far
avg'd like 30-40 for pug curve in all of df
killing spree is a great ability
Ansurek its only bad on the first phase tho. everyone i ask says that they took the most wipes there, then the rest of the fight is a breeze
If I have an enchanted crest to craft up to 619, should I craft the weapon or shield first
having played feral a lot and now playing assassination recently the difference its quite noticable lol. 300 energy and 3 charges for regen vs feral 100 energy cap and a single energy regen skill every 30s
they fucked thistle tea though right?
not, really i think?, they just made it instant cast if you go below x amount of energy, still can manually use it though.
passive cast*
i actually like it. freed me up one keybind.
and slice n dice now applies itself too. only need to use it on the start of a fight and can just forget it exist for the rest of it
How to negate damage from the mech boss in Stonevault? He has a big slam attack.
Spell block or reflect dont work. So simply shield walling?
The first one ?
You get a dispellable debuff which when it gets dispelled gives you like 80% dmg reduced for 4 secs
Your healer has to wait till he casts the big slam, and then dispell u
There's videos about this

How many crafted can we have at this point now?
apparently it fucks over pvp and a few weird things with sub
No the double boss.
Its not like I cant survive it. It does like 30 40% with ignore pain and shield block. Its just a hasstle to think about.
3 or 4 I think 4
Well then yeah sw, LS, or SB and up IP.
Depends on gear and key level
It was 11. Overall I think its really shit I have only 623ilvl
But thats because instead of upgrading my gear I had to craft both weapon and shield because I didnt get any from the vault.
spell block does work
you have shield wall for some and it's like the only thing that does damage outside the special mechanics so you're not forced to mitigate ALL of it
623 is pretty fine for 11
623 is good for 11
Click demo shout
Boss ability that does 30% HP with ip and sb up shouldnt be a problem
General mechanic question - Thunder Blast is stromstrike damage (nature + physical), and lets assume that i recieve a buff that increases nature damage by 100%. Will this then buff thunder blast by 100%? Or is it only 50% damage increase since its a mix of nature and physical?
Does anyone know what is the smarter move?
what do you have atm?
I think 100% but things like that rarely exist that only buff specific dmg schools
No of course not, just wanted to understand the mechanics behind it
thank you though
Id say 100% too, because afaik when you do « mixed » damage it’s not 50 of 1 and 50 of the other, you do 100 then game will check what damage will make the most (taking lesser resistance iirc)
is it pretty commonplace to kite the Stonevault forgehands? that debuff fucks toward the end of the pull
ye you should kite them after like 10+ stacks
or are yall chads dwarfing it off, im an orc gaymer
Yes it’s kind of mandatory passed some stack count + key level
Thank you, i think i remember same explanation somewhere in the back of my head
kite to drop the debuff then go back in
rgr
I kite in 3 key/packs I think:
- SV stacking debuff
- GB when too much stun DR on ogre rage
- Tirna when mobs leech on you
can you explain the GB one? trackin on the other 2
if it sims bad it's probably bad
NW 1st pull depending on what packs you pull
ogre gets 1 stack of enrage per auto that increases attack speed and damage stacking up to 10
The ogre stack a rage, if he doesn’t hit you for few sec it drops the stacks
think it lasts for like 2 seconds
Which mob? Vanguard something?
ye, some take the pack with the 2 vanguards into the big pull
With a total of 3 vanguards you have no choice but kite haha
Oh yeah I think I take only 1 with gatekeeper
yup
so kite and it falls off
oh im seeing it now
Shouldnt wait until 10 stacks tho
Can also stun but lot of times you got high stun DR on them if you play with sham/aug/DH/etc
Both are garbage. 570
then it doesnt matter, you can go with weap to boost dmg, and get shield after
are there shield enchants?
no
anyone know whats going on with Outlaw in logs/r.io?
I see prot warriors using versatility embelishment and crafting omen items with versatility instead of crit. Is vers now our best 2nd stat after haste?
people take vers because they think it will help them survive
No the vers embellishment is just the most value over time since you’re likely to hit DR with crit
bug abusing, can make every finish like it's 5+ cp or some shit
they don't call it the maintenance within for no reason
damn, top m+ is 3 outlaw rogues in a mist 16 with no lust 😄
hopefully everyone exploiting is banned
Im sitting at 21% crit, 31% haste and 2% vers. Would you think its wise to trade some crit for vers? Im mostly pushing keys.
The thing is, your stat values will probably change every week. You will never hit Vers DR if you’re gearing correctly (which it sounds like you are). It’s probably just safer to take vers embellishment. But either way it won’t matter a great deal so do whatever you’d like
vers embellishment is turbo fake btw you only have it above 80% (you will not die from 80%) and crit is likely better offensively
If you’re asking more generally, crit is better than vers so don’t give up crit for no reason
yep outlaw bug abusers rn
do we like queen ring at all?
it's great offensively
Honestly good on that guy for at least including the warning
Prog bosses dying because the rogue is suddenly doing insane dps is acceptable ish but this is just blatant bug abuse 
guys..i have a problem where i really dno whats going on...trying to compare my logs with other prot to see how i can improve my dps...i realise my CPM is so low..any idea whats going on? am i really not casting every gcd..https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/4ncFpdt6vM37kRxG#fight=last&type=casts&source=119
oops sorry theres a log review channel..will use there instead
seems like my shield slam and ignore pain cpm is tooooo low
Do you guys know if the skip in Nerub-ar Palace will let you into Silken Court?
"Don't abuse bugs we were to lazy to notice" blizzard
It should yer
Thanks for the quick response!
Do you know if you have to go back and still kill brood and princess to get access to queen if you use the skip? I know it's blocked by a web until court is down, but I don't know if that opens up by just killing court.
queen opens up after court
10-4 ty!
So it skips 4 total then by the way it looks?
Hello, with the changes to the pala tank, is it better than the warrior right now?
hmmmm what if you trigger the skip but you still go to sikran and rash? will the door open?
we are two days into a bug/exploit ridden patch
but, generally speaking, tank balance is very good
and its more about player skill and group needs
Ppala
Is better from what i understand
lots of bugs with Paladin right now
It should
blizz annouced theyll be doing tuning before next reset
reality is.... they have a very full plate of shit they need to deal with
okey thanks for the response 😄
I seen a prot pally do some crazy dmg
1.2m overall idk if that's considered high for top end tank play. But he was 1st in dmg lol
then there is potential damage buff for protwar to not create a big gap?
Im doing 1 mil ish for weeks now and i dont have good trinkets

Prot War doesnt really need anything
Bro we need nothing
not true?
I'm worried prot warrior could get a nerf if anything cause blizzard hates warriors
Just bring back the SL bug
Absolutely fucking true
Even only for trasmog
Cant look at my tauren holdint this fucking toothpick
a... great shield if u will
True


Why they just don’t want to give prot a 2h and shield and delete fury. Or make it “shout spec” like augment so it buff every one, and prot just will be fun running around with 2h and shield!?
A warcry barb spec that shouts at people to do more dmg would indeed be funny as fuck
Would def main that 🤣
Protpally has so many bugs though right now
Dream spec
Yeah, this is 5head move from them. They nerfed it already, augment is better, and just “we are reworking warriors, to be new buff class”😅
Just yell at the targeted player to increase dps or healing
Is lizard better than dwarf as a race guys?
whatever you like the look of better
Dwarf too strong, dwarf too chad, don’t go scalie.
Dwarf cleanse is very powerful
I personally like Dwarf and Human
human stun break is quite handy as well
Orc is still the Chad race of warriors
orc is very warrior like
But … but… its ally….
but Orc racials are more suited to PVP
Cross faction everything
If i wasnt dwarf id be vulp since it eliminates the single time feel in danger which is on pull
less so PVE content
But you get to be a big beefy boi
Why so
Nose for trouble is super strong on pull
Also female orcs look amazing in full armor
Gonna give it a look never seen that
Troll Prot slept on big time
Feet
no vendor
43g?
and the cantrip is just extra
Just don’t be fashion inept and wear really platy armor lol
My mog owns on my troll protty
it has mastery so idk
This shit makes me want to swap from Dwarf literally every day.
Lmao
why the FUCK is the beard cliping both trhough the chest and head?
Ya got to adjust facial hair based in mog
There is no beard-less option so all mogs are destroyed by beards
Get a better beard
should i add a gem socket to this neck
is it bis i rly dont kno
havent been keeping up with prot
and I remember reading some reddit post "Dont worry dwarf bros, blizzard fixed it, you can rock your beard". Bro thats literally the LAST thing I want to do
Wtf is good about this? You can clearly see again both the chest and the helmet clipping through..
0 clipping. Give me option "Hide beard "
done
How close does my alt spec have to be to my main spec for raider.io to light them both up properly
It exists just go to barber
Dwarf can't hide beard
Idk doesn't bother me, if you want 0 clipping you're gonna have an impossible time in wow to make good tmog lol
But can get ones that fit mog 90% of time maybe not fully no clip but limited
Or just get a helmet that hides beard
But helmets that show beard are usually better
I usually just wear the crown from bod on dwarf myself
guys
If yo uare in game
what do if damage
and on your dwarf
search for something something avenger
And you will laugh how bad the clipping is
Momma warned me about people like you
I usually go mogless. But this seasons set is just clip fest so I have to mog.
Eww
Best set was first dragonflight season
real
What’s that
except it was actually s2
just want this stupid warrior t2 mog but man it’s so many coins
That was awesome
How do tou even get coins besides raid?
shitty weeklies like awakening the machine, troupe, etc
can get 49 total this week
yea i ain’t doin the pvp ones
i want all the tank mogs
Addon that randomizes all your transmoggable slots, you just click the dice icon while the transmog interface is up, spin the wheel and enjoy
is it just me who feels like with the current systems its better to have two chars of the same class than one if you want to play with different specs/roles for that class?
must be missing something since that cant clearly be the way
if both are pve its fine. if you wanna pvp aswell you need 2
I play both Fury and Prot, doesn't feel bad at all. Still 90% parser in raid on fury and doing 11s in m+ as prot
yeah i wanna pvp 🙂
Oof
I think if main fury and play prot it works but if opposite ut can feel bad having basically no mastery
The catalyst charges is the big issue there
But still works
yeah
This is what I do, so maybe that's why I haven't noticed an issue
Mastery isn't "that" bad on prot
It isnt but if main prot not stacking it
Yea, I've gotten two sets of ring/neck for secondaries
main fury but think ill craft something for prot since i really like it
I crafted my Main hand for both specs before I even got my buffed ascendance craft xD
It didn't affect much
spear is now "champion's spear" or I have some weird SL bug?
I'm gonna guess not
Craft it
No stam or secondary stats
Got this from zeck from an 8 delve
does it even count as "taking magic damage" when you have spell block?
Peba you have a point there lol ok thanks everyone
I have crafted bracers and cloak with crit and vers lining with crit/haste stats. When simming for fury with crit/haste versus haste/mastery or master/vers the difference is marginal. Ofc wearing another set of rings while playing fury.
spell block doesn't make you invulnerable to magic damage
What do your guys' stats look like?
but does it reduce proc rate from this shield or not? in other words: is blocked spell still count as "taking magic damage"
yes because your character still takes damage that's magic
it's not a great shield regardless but spell block doesn't affect it
I feel like my stats are OK, but I'm not sure.
looks fine, sims will probably tell you that vers and mastery are big gains
weird.. i guess my haste is too high cause it's telling me i sim better with hook and and organ over sacbrood
are you simming pure st
Would y'all ever socket 149haste and 49 VERS instead of 49 crit if you have extremely low vers?
such a miniscule difference that it doesn't matter
it was simming target dummy not patchwerk.. let me rerun
i mean it just depends on what youre trying to do
Any power that can be gained from time walking stuff for 621 pwar?
cuz you can also sim like 5 target 1 min, 5 target 1.5 min
yadda adda
depending on what you're actually looking for
Or all lower ilvl and cosmetic stuff
that's what simming is for pepega...
how long is the cooldown of avatar generally, when its reduced
Bro I just want to know if there are any broken tickets from time walking my lowest is 619 heroic hook trinket
around 45ish seconds
ty
can get lower than that even these days
ya thats what simming is for
Dungeon slices are showing hook and organ and st boss fights show sacbrook and organ
but like 5k dps aint shit
and i'd rather have 1 passive trinket and 1 use than 2 use
But dungeon slice doesnt work for prot
Back in the day when legion time walking because available ppl were going into brh for some trinket because it was omega op even at low ilvl. I'm asking if something like that exists. Wouldn't need to sim to know that
even 5 targets for 1.5m is saying the same thing for me
yeah thats what simming is for
Hello. I’m looking for a guide on this season’s tanking trinkets. Preferably covering all of them. Is there such a resource? Thanks in advance
for warrior? they’re all bad with swarmlords being the least bad
‘Swarmlord is better than the rest’ is one data point, for which I thank you.
The two guides in the faq channel have tier lists and descriptions of most of the notable trinkets... honestly, the power level on trinkets this season is low and none have a massive defensive impact for us, so it's kinda just gut feelings and dps sims
I’ve read those guides. In your opinion, if a trinket is not mentioned in the guide, should I assume it is worse than ‘D tier’? Because the guide only mentions a few
Probably - if you think they've missed a trinket that's powerful, bring it up
Okay. Thank you for your insight
damn we shoulda all rolled outlaw
Theres a bug related to outlaw atm, right?
Yup
you guys doing close to or over 1m overall in dungeons? cant quite hit it
I wish they did more testing, this makes seasonal ranking less meaningful.
depends on dungeon and how big you’re pulling
@sharp epoch In my usual +8 gang, the good dps do 1300k, the bad so 500k
i was hoping it was something to do with blade fury? flury? flurry??? and killing spree
cuz that combo does a ton of dmg
im talking as prot, im usually around 850~k cant ever quite get to the 900-1m
Ah. As prot, fully geared and talented towards survivability, I pull around 5-600k
I pull conservatively tho
yeah i'm always above 1mill if i'm not doing low keys
it turns out that shield I got from BRD LFR is not prefered armor type for pwar
No stam on it? Or Str? 😄
Idk what's wrong here
bug
any shield will say that
at least people are taking note of that feature of the game now
when you try to use bad weapon
its one of those bugs that will either be fixed by end of expansion, or never, until it is removed entirely
I mean, I see the issue. Yer using a shell. WHo uses a shell for a shield? Pssh.
or will be fixed and few patches later restored
hide behind solid object has been the definitive strategy for humans and animals
im legit taking 0 dmg in CoT 11
in real life, for very long time
im sending my rat dk to LFR
TROGADOR
no i am speciest
Lol
I'll let Kul'Tiran slide as well, but they're human anyway
trogdor was a man...... i mean he was a DRAGON man......
i gotta go burninate some peasents in keys or lfr
<scoff> Troll since rolling character in 07. Actually thinking on earthen tho! 😄
I'll tolerate Shieldmasta Trolls
😄
it will become feature eventually
So ... may be late to the news/game. Ya'all see Brutosaur mount for sale for $90? 😄
cheaper than buying it on the bmah

we got the 5th full spark this week right? is that the titan disc fragment quest that gives the last half?
yes 5th spark
Ayup
which defensive trinket is currently the best?
New warrior / new tank question: is there any value in creating a macro to cast demoralizing shout with another ability?
no
Easy enough, thanks!
🫡
Swarmlord.
Depends on content; none are particularly gameplay revolutionizing for Prot War; Silken Chain's the best if the main threat/damage coming is affected by attack speed slows
Chain's notable in that it scales with difficulty due to not being a flat absorb or something along those lines
Hey, my WQ are not showing up on the map, but they work just fine when I walk up to them. Anyone with this problem?
You may have filtered them off on your map options there
Where the option is depends on if you're using base UI or overhauls like ElvUI iirc, so I can't tell you exactly where to find the options, but they should be adjustable from the map
microsoft joined instant dollars I see
Not home to check, how expensive are tokens now with the $90 ah mount? Lol
Bought with cash
almost 300k up from around 250k on EU already 
Oof by time i get home itll prob be like 300k
NA
Might be a swipe angle incoming i have 1.5 mil only im poor
almost at the point of why bother
most profitable mount blizz ever implemented I'd expect
Just wait for the Gilded Spectral Tiger
they will make so much money
They'll make more money off this mount than they did tww sales
for like 2 hours of effort by some modeling guy
Wtf
The real money will come from the flying ah/tmog combo mount in 5 years when they struggling again
I love that it's just a re-skin of the old one even lmao
like not even bothered to make it unique
turbo based from Blizz
The next time they release a scuffed patch they’ll just throw up a flying ah/bank mount for $200, with a $50 mailbox attachment
Build-your-own mount $100 per module
Infinite cash flow as they randomly make new assets for it
Yeah the modular mount will be the next one, 100 dollars, flying, each vendor/NPC type costs $25 and you can swap them out.
Why spend $90 on a brutosaur when I can instead buy several succulent Chinese meals
Didn't play on BFA, everyone had the mount back then?
Should i craft 636 weapon or shield first? Not seeing me Getting myth track anytime soon
Jokes on me anyways i cant swipe because the wife would go ballistic when i just told her no on some random thing she wanted to buy
shield
Just lie to ur wife, don't need to thank me
No, 5m gold was a much less attainable feat, especially then
Shes latina, you trying to get me strung up upside down by my balls?
Buy her a purse or a shoe that's 200 dolars
So u can buy a mount on a game
that costs $90
Bruh good purses in her eyes are like $40k
Oh shit oh fuck. That much? My wife's purses cost at most $500
Birken or kellys arent cheap
$10 worth of leather, infinite markup
But try explaining that to her
Luckily ahe is realist and knows unless we somehow become more then just comfortable itll never happen but she would certainly try to guilt me about it when compared to a digital item lol
As she should to be fair lol
True
But it's a two way street definitely
I just need to find a boosting community to make some gold
I bought it
used only in game gold though
its worth buying if you want a mobile AH and mailbox
i think it is limited time
uhhhh how about add it to year long sub with the mounts pack
***Available through January 6, 2025.
I mean considering if you want the old brutosaur it costs 10 million gold
i used to joke the new AH mount would seat 5 ppl and fly and have AH and repair
this is a good deal
the old one is equivalent to over 1000 dollars if you buy wow tokens for it
this one is equivalent to like 1.2 mil in goold
def wont
ehhh locks in alot of players for 1 year
Pretty sure based on phoyo linked here ahowinf how many bought it there are pencil pushers already upset that they didnt price it higher
Def wont get put in a sub package
The problem with equating gold to real world money is you can't buy things in the real world with gold but you could farm that gold in-game for free.
Time equals money but only when you're on the clock at work. Not when you're at home with no way of earning money anyways. So like, $90 shop mount is not a better deal than getting it for free in-game. It's just player cope to justify buying it.
I mean its a little more complicated when you can use real money yo buy it and theres always the grey market of selling gold floating aroubd
i have a feeling there will be an asmongold rage video about the mounts in shop later today
with the cost and how many were released
But generally yes
He's banned atm so he won't lol
He's not doing any content atm outside of life updates on cleaning his house.
I think it would ruin the whole repenting for what he said image if he made content before his ban was up or his house was clean
What was he banned for? I dont keep track of streamer drama
Ah just read it. I mean he isnt wrong about sharia law but ya to say it the way he did on a public streaming platform is pretty bad yikes
anyway, i thought i shouldnt name him here because of that topic
Im sure there will be plenty of rage videos from others
but, i could see him getting mad about something like those store mounts
His wow takes are pretty out of touch these days.
some of his takes on wow are bad some are based
like the down sides to wasting time in raid
imagine you are completely ready to go, all the energy in the world is being sent your way, and you cant do the boss cuz you dont have a tank
so you have to sit there for 7 hours waiting
I mean.. the point of holy trinity is having a tank right.
For raid I more wonder about why there is no summoning stone inside? Technically they already done it with MOP remix, that feature should come to retail too.
uhh
dehumanizing stuff
like idk the full context but in the clip it sounded pretty mask off 🙈
What uptime on SB and IP would be considered good during m+?
Always played fury but since the countless nerfs, trying to tank.
sb all the time, when your in combat. ip try to always have it up and only really full when on a boss that does a tank buster, otherwise keep it close to full
Just did an Ara Kara 7. This is my buff uptime.
Did you have any trouble in 7? And what’s ur ilvl
Not at all, just wondering what to aim at? Is 100% possible?
Ilvl 622.
18k haste (32%), 6.7k vers (8%).
Using into the fray instead of Heavy Repercussions.
this is not how to think about IP at all
You'd be better logging
Details is not very accurate for shield block from what I understand
how so?
Ideally your sb uptime is in the 95% range, but realistically what you care about is % of hits blocked, that should be near or at 100%
Avatar should be north of 50%, nearing 55% with correct play
IP is a button pressed to dump rage.
^
#1 = ABB (Always Be Blocking)
You don't care about IP uptime, that isn't a real stat to track, it varies wildly and for no consistent reason.
Hey guys, do u reccomend other builds than wowhead/icyveins?
The fact it does anything is almost irrelevant tbh
It's an off gcd rage spender
Stonks
I thought it was ABSS?
I’m not saying track it on details and have it be a %. I’m saying to always have it during fights
IP isn't even a thing that you think about absorbing tank busters, you have other buttons that do that, that should be used for that - wall, spell block, spell reflect, demo shout, last stand.
IP is a button you press to make sure your rage stays uncapped.
That's it.
Made my pp hard when I just checked my avatar and it's 54.83%
😩
Thank all for your input!
Dawnbreaker, when the first boss does Obsidian Beam, you don’t max IP??
no, I press reflect + wall/spellblock
What keys are you doing?
Don't wall my pp pls
😭😂
Again, don't think about IP as a defensive, it's a tool used spend rage to keep your rotation moving.
The vast majority of your rage spent will be IP, but you're not pressing it because you want it to line up with mechanics, you're pressing it to prevent yourself capping rage.
Overcapped rage = wasted rage = less anger management = less avatar = less damage.
what keys are you doing?
I think thukker is on 10-12 range?
Idk why he won’t say, but I can’t understand either why you wouldn’t see IP as a defensive?
It just doesn't matter
Why does it matter to you?
The fact it's a defensive is a bonus
What possible bearing does that have on the use of IP?
But you can ignore its existence as anything but a rage dump
I’m just curious on what keys you’re doing.
I'm doing 11s and have wet my toes in a few 12s and agree with Thukker 🤷♂️
I’m doing 10s as prot and if I don’t have ignore pain up I’m getting deleted by trash packs. (With shield block up)
Overusing IP at the wrong times is going to cause you to either A) drop shield block, which is defensively worse, or B) not have rage to fish for shield slam resets, which is less rage in the long run and less IP in the long run, which is defensively worse.
Use it to prevent capping rage when you're above 60ish rage, to keep your rotation moving.
My first few runs i did that alot over used IP doomed me
What rotation are you talking about?
rage cycling
isnt that called spinning?
So less IP means more rotation to generate rage for more IP?
And get avatar and shield wall back faster, yes.
Surely you aren't playing around IP?
👀
Like you just press ignore pain when close to rage capping
What's the avg CD of SW with good play?
That's it
50ish seconds
so you can fight mobs without ignore pain? I feel like I’d get deleted
You're probably hurting your survivability by trying to play around it and over using it
I mean, it's just up most of the time anyway?
You have ignore pain, I'm not sure what you're getting at.
I'm not saying don't press ignore pain, I'm saying make sure you're pressing it for the right reasons.
Again, the overwhelming majority of your rage will be spent on IP.
kinda ye
getting stuck in your rotation is what kills
I guess I’m playing wrong because I’m not trying to always max IP, but there will be times when I dont have enough rage (rarely) to generate more ss
thats why you dont press IP at 35 rage
and instead revenge, if TC and SS arent ready
dont empty your tank
dont cap your tank
its that simple
anything in between and youre gucci
you dont wanna be caught with your pants down and afk until SS gets ready again
THATS what kills you
interesting
Idk how I got to 2500 playing like how I was lol
I should be able to do way more then what I’m doing now
Playing better
very likely
2500 is 12s all?
hey at least I didn't die on the hill saying my way of playing is better lol
yea
2505 is poop
all 12s is like 3k
I'm at this annoying point where, I feel like all 12s isn't that hard at all, but it also apparently is because they keep bricking
just play it clean
I don't feel like I'm the problem, and that is probably dangerous territory
and youre gucci
ya, feels like there's always some shit 
yesterday
i wiped 3 ara karas at the first platform
because people hit things before i got to the platform
some days be like that
then blamed it on me
1 Thunderclap bro
wasnt my key so idc
smh

i did
I respect it
dps unable to hold their nut, unfort

how is it my fualt
absolute clown pull
if i get a tank that stops at stairs, i aggressively afk on my mount
infront of him
cuz i aint popping CDs for 3 mobs
when theres a literal turbo pull right infront
"everything"
but im never going to improve
bro thats still only 3 mobs
if i dotn go for riskier
the smallies die in 0.3seconds

I always pull everything to the first bridge in Ara Kara, or right past the first bridge but dps still start popping cds and going nuts before I have done more than TC'ed once
Which I find hilarious since I will say I am pulling to first bridge or right past it
Which software do people use to record their own gameplay for review?
Anytime before a key I tell them I'm pull multi packs they don't listen and just blow their load on the first pack
obs streamlabs are 2 good ones
this trinket any good
its a defensive trinket
sim damafge
lol
why r people saying swarmlord is bad and why is it the most used trinket in big keys?
How do I sim stat weights with raidbots?
because the healing it does is not noticable on prot warrior
you dont sim stat weights
they are outdated
so what should i use instead? i'm using mythic sacbrood and swarmlords
i have hero transmitter
transmitter will do a lot more damage than swarmlords
ok tyty
you can also sim it
So droptimizer with crafted items and all stat combinations to see what’s best or how am I supposed to find what to target?
maybe you would prefer HoJ?
Btw that extra auto from HoJ can trigger the strategist for resetting SS right?
for the pack in the 3rd boss room in ara kara, what helps get rid of that slow debuff taht's applied?
dunno but I just simmed hand of justice and it did not sim that well unfortunately
I think healer's dispell should remove the debuff or it's not?
tigerslust freedom leaping out
praying to god your team is human
the grasping slash
ok so freedom helps with that? i swear i had a paladin tell me one time it didn't
avatar will remove stacks on use as well
that pally lied to you I think
you let yourself be gaslit by a dps player
so any movement buffs
but yeah, paladin makes it pretty trivial
wind rush/freedom/tigers ?
he just want less responsibility
