aug, for sure, dwarf, oh ya, bop um, uh theres other healers do it

#

i cant think of it

cyan bronze
#

There is not other healers that can do it besides evokers

#

As it’s part of Evoker toolkit, not aug

tribal wharf
#

well, i think bleed is mostly healer aware check :S

#

been that way 2004

#

nobody can effectively remove it willy nilly

cyan bronze
#

Right which is why being able to do that is quite good

#

Aswell as a 10% dr is comfy

tribal wharf
#

it just goes on you and you bleed out and maybe you die maybe you dont, cant do nothing about it direct

cyan bronze
#

Besides you know, play dwarf

#

besides, then i have to be alliance

Iirc everbloom was really nice for stone form on DPS if you ever pulled more than 1 wasp at a time

it got removed at some point and i forgot to rebind it

Why did you unbind shield slamclueless

#

And then recently, in a raid I did, a Ret BOP'd me and then wondered why he was tanking boss

tribal wharf
#

thats half the reason you take a smart ret anywyas

#

bop

cyan bronze
#

My favorite is killing ret with sac

tribal wharf
#

sac too

#

loh, hoj, many reas on

cyan bronze
#

i dont think ive ever been bopped and had it go successfully

tribal wharf
#

well, they can also bop healer who have aggro, or mage rogue

ye its nice on non tank

What is a backshot

tribal wharf
#

good paladin in lower keys u never ever dying

cyan bronze
#

alot of rets will just bop me and pray i have a cancel aura

tribal wharf
#

party wont die as often, then again, good paladin

cyan bronze
#

Wrong gif

lofty warren
#

Other than bop and dwarf what is the other good dispel?

tribal wharf
#

i dont even care that paladin has lower dps, and are dumb players i like them for the hope that they dont suck at paladin

#

as someone who played one to lvl 60

#

because great paladin has chance to make group 2/3x as good where good mage is 1.5/2x

native ember
#

i made paladin alt this season just to fuck around on there so cheese you get a go every fkn 30 secs and bring a bunch of group utility but then when i tank on my warrior and invite them they dont top meters and never use any of their utility lol

Impeachments are kinda memes I think, it seems you need to do absolute crazy insanity shit

Yes that’s what I meant, like in France it’s a joke

boreal heath
sharp gale
#

Yes that’s some insane stuff you see lunatics do

#

But I don’t thin in France the Pres can be impeached if he use the atomic bomb of our constitution (art 16) for no reason, it would just be blocked by parliament

#

It’s full powers for the Pres article

boreal heath
#

Isn't the French pres just a figurehead anyways, it's the pm who has power

sharp gale
#

Nop, it’s like Russia

#

In papers he should not have powers like in Germany

#

But in practice he rule the party who wins the general election (it’s a mechanic due to calendar of elections)

It’s not that impeachments are a joke

other question to prot warri

dusky canopy

Go ahead shoot, we yap about everything in here

storm merlin
#

why you play in m+ champions spear not dragon roar?

Spear yes

Because roar is expensive to take

Spear enables pump

okay

Roar you cannot take 10% stam node also

storm merlin

muchas gracias

no one’s gonna shoot you for running roar but it’s usually slightly less damage, doesn’t give rage on cast

I would recommend still try it in vault filling keys, you never know if it would become meta one day

cyan bronze
#

it will inshallah

boreal heath
#

Eh it's an alt I have in my back pocket in case it's meta in s2

#

Hopefully the S2 tier will be more exciting

sharp gale
#

Just next tier set may change which hero talent for example ( blizzard might want to show other hero talents for classes)

boreal heath
#

I don't think they'll ever design a tier set that pushes you specifically towards one hero tree

sharp gale
#

Well if it got revenge in it, you will understand what they want to do

sharp gale
sharp gale
#

Might do an effect on both, now that I think about it, to balance hero talents

cyan bronze
#

but okay

mighty valley
#

I don’t think they’ll be as explicit as “demolish does x more damage” but tier sets can inevitably tip the balance to one or the other

sharp gale
#

No they will never do an effect directly on a hero talent

boreal heath
sharp gale
#

They don’t need to do that to say this season is colossus for prots

boreal heath
#

But designing a tier set heavily weighted or favoring revenge might as well be the same thing

#

Imo they should just do a tier set for each hero tree

#

Or a 4pc bonus or each

sharp gale
#

I doubt they will look for balance, they don’t care that much now about colossus even if tier sets are generic usual s1 effects

25% unmitigated hits with 57% shield block uptime is no bueno, I get there's a lot of RP in siege but that needs addressing. Some wasted rage but I've seen a lot worse, the real problem is they're not pressing enough buttons to actually generate rage in the first place. Not only is their apm low, but they're missing a ton of casts in general, trinket was only used 10 times in a 31min dungeon, missing over a dozen demo shout casts, same with avatar (This is caused by low rage gen) several TR's

If there was a perfect stat weighting for each do we know what it would be?

jagged pier
heady junco
#

Yeah but archon provides logs live and the most popular atm is haste/vers . That’s why I am asking , anyone tested both ?

jagged pier
#

High ppl run vers and copy each other in reality that vers aint doing anything

#

They having like 7% dr literally stops nothing

#

Its prefered because it effects things like dots and bleeds however crit alsp does that by allowing your ip to effect them more

heady junco
#

Interesting , thanks for your answer

jagged pier
#

Its just preference at the end of the day

#

And if having vers makes u play bettter because u feel safer then that needs to be noted

heady junco

Yeah exactly , crit = vers . No one of them is bad as secondary . So depends raid, mythic and which I think .

#

Alright, because i have simmed and dropped some haste on rings etc because crit was better, but just got a myth ring in vault. but its vers crit. thats why im asking. I see lots of people stacking all the haste they can. does it not matter with diminishing return?

mighty valley
#

we get the most defensive value out of haste which you're not gonna see on sims, but defensive value is very feelycraft

#

so you kinda gotta make gut decisions

#

diminishing returns isn't a major concern at this stage of the expansion, generally more haste is still optimal at this stage

untold wave
#

alright, sometimes I lose uptime on shield block. I guess haste is the reason. I did not haste was the best def value. Ive just been trying to stack as much haste/crit + vers on all pieces I have

mighty valley
#

i'm guessing you're running into the fray?

untold wave
#

yes

mighty valley
#

you don't have to if sb uptime is a struggle

untold wave
#

That is true. but without it i go >30% haste

#

@mighty valley thanks for the information i will test swapping talents or stacking other stats to get some better feeling

mighty valley
#

ITF is less powerful at lower haste levels, strong recommend you just run heavy repercussions until your haste is higher and your sb maintenance feels comfy

shrugs Not like it's the first time I've done the leap at last sec. Just never seen that message before and i really do wonder what the 100 means xD

keen pelican
#

Maybe you can spell reflect that last second tug the singularity does before it explodes?

#

And that saved you from getting sucked in and blasted

wild chasm
#

Or you reflected the negative 75% damage debuff, but leapt out of the damage? I've heard that you can reflect the debuff, not 100% sure about it though

Hello gamers!

Statwise. What should i focus on?

no speed?

#

question regarding this

#

do i just gotta check the cave daily to see if i get the proc

strong forum
#

yea

cloud shuttle
#

damn

strong forum
#

its once per character

cloud shuttle
#

oo

strong forum
#

so you can create a bunch of trial warriors

cloud shuttle
#

but i only got 1 warrior

#

ah wait

#

thats smart

strong forum
#

just do highmountain taurens

cloud shuttle
#

but dont i gotta do the legion artifact quest

#

for the shield?

#

or does it not matter

strong forum
#

and then pick up the weapon

cloud shuttle
#

right

strong forum
#

and check cave

#

you can create 4 trials

#

once theyre setup you get 4 extra chance per day

#

sounds pretty worth if you ask me

cloud shuttle
#

damn thats true

violet ginkgo
cloud shuttle
#

what

#

😭

#

i genuinely dont understand what youre trying to say

violet ginkgo
#

There is 24 hours CD on that artifact skin from the last pick.

cloud shuttle
#

what last pick

violet ginkgo
#

Last pick = last person who loot it.

cloud shuttle
#

ah

#

wait thats kinda fucked

#

is it realm based pick?

violet ginkgo
#

I am not sure about that.

#

But let’s say I pick it at 3PM. Then the next spawn will be 3PM next day.

However next day it picked up by Nome at 3.30PM then the next appear is 3.30 PM.

cloud shuttle
#

yeah i get it

#

kinda weird its like that

#

But i just have to wait for the cave roar thing to appear in the chat right?

strong forum
#

yea

violet ginkgo
#

Yeah and just hope for luck.

cloud shuttle
#

right

#

Might check soon then

#

i started checking yesterday

violet ginkgo
#

I mean if you want that skin, it’s probably best to take it easy and check once per day. Unless you really want it so bad. Then yeah create bunch of trials.

cloud shuttle
#

yeah i dont want to do that

#

lmao

violet ginkgo
#

Or the strat is just leave 1 warrior alt at that cave.

cloud shuttle
#

or just use dalaran hearth and check once a day

violet ginkgo
#

So for example you feel like want to logout for the day just give it 1 login to the parked alt before logging off.

cloud shuttle
#

how do you guys go about starting to tank

#

i'd like to start tanking, but the stress

#

xd

#

seems so stressful being a tank

#

having all the extra responsibility of knowing routes etc

pallid quiver
#

thinking i know any routes, pffffft

cloud shuttle
#

Because i'd love to play a shield class because shields are cool

violet ginkgo
#

Well this season is more stressful for sure compared to previous, but that is just my opinion.

#

What do you think Luerce?

pallid quiver
#

I only think it's bad because people are a lot more mega aggro and prone to leave

violet ginkgo
#

This S1 TWW is more or less stressful compared to DF?

pallid quiver
#

I think there's more mobs that do things, but it's not like too much harder to me, personally

#

But people are actively choosing to have it be more stressful

cloud shuttle
#

i can see that

#

but idk, i just cba having people yell at me

dusky canopy
#

I feel like it’s just contagious atmosphere that spread throughout the community

cloud shuttle
#

which is whats keeping me off tanking

dusky canopy
#

Because nothings really changed

#

There’s always a meta

cloud shuttle
#

fuck the meta

dusky canopy
#

There’s always been R.io score

cloud shuttle
#

i think brewmaster and prot warr are the coolest tanks

#

x)

tardy abyss
#

The meta wouldnt be nearly as bad if sham didnt have so much utility

dusky canopy
#

There’s always been annoying depletes

#

Leavers

tardy abyss
#

While also doing such insane dps

dusky canopy
#

Etc

#

Like nothings changed except the community’s mental

violet ginkgo
#

I don’t think it’s about meta. More like challengers peril, wipe once ppl all leave when the run still way salvageable.

tardy abyss
#

Yeah that too

cloud shuttle
#

what exactly is challengers peril

pallid quiver
#

You still get people dipping angrilly before challengers ever kicks in

tardy abyss
#

-15 sec timer

cloud shuttle
#

thats it?

dusky canopy
#

That’s actually a fair point yeah, challengers peril makes people think 5 deaths is deplete no matter what

pallid quiver
#

There's been objectively more people leaving this season in the groups I've been than any other season in recent times

dusky canopy
#

When in reality we’re beating timers by 5-10 minutes

pallid quiver
#

It's been like a 40-45% increase when I counted

cloud shuttle
#

100% that

#

people hyper optimize everything and 1 fuckup ruins their ego or something

pallid quiver
#

Ego is definitely the reason a ton of people play this game

#

They actively hate the game and fucking despise playing it

#

But they just keep playing because it's like, part of their self-esteem or something to have the highest ilvl gear so they can flex on people

#

And anything that gets in the way of that is a threat to their value as a person

cloud shuttle
#

ive never pushed high anything until this xpac lmao

#

cleared heroic for the first time this xpac

#

done a few +10 keys for the first time

#

i feel pretty good

tardy abyss
cloud shuttle
#

doesnt sound like the end of the world

#

people be despairing too easily

#

also prot warrior feels pretty easy

#

am i wrong for thinking that

#

played a few heroics just trying it out

#

my warr isnt that high ilvl

tardy abyss
#

pwar is chill yeah

cloud shuttle
#

Keep shield block up and dont lose ignore pain

dusky canopy
#

Pwar is definitely one of the easier tanks to grasp

cloud shuttle
#

the gist of it yeah

dusky canopy
#

Of course skill expression exists

#

You’ll be hard pressed to do nomer numbers

#

🐐

cloud shuttle
#

no idea who the goat nomer is

dusky canopy
#

You don’t know who the protection warrior theorycrafter is

#

@strong forum 🥾

cloud shuttle
#

i barely play warrior as is

#

and ive done like 2 dungons as prot warr this decade

dusky canopy
cloud shuttle
#

:)

#

i dont even main warrior anymore

#

mained arms in SL

#

was fun

#

also

#

i managed to tank the dungeoneers target dummy until it hit like 520% more dmg

#

just by testing out some buttons

fringe chasm
#

Is there value in hitting the dummies to learn prot war rotation?

dusky canopy
#

Yes

fringe chasm
#

Like the regular dps dummies even though they dont hit back

dusky canopy
#

Absolutely, the more damage you can contribute to a key or raid boss the better

#

It definitely is worth practicing your damage rotation

cloud shuttle
#

is there any value in pressing execute

#

feels like a rage dump into nothing

strong forum
#

it crits real fucking hard

cloud shuttle
#

well except dmg

strong forum
#

what more do you expect a button to do?

cloud shuttle
strong forum
#

i mean yeah

#

we need a dmg buff

#

and a rework

#

tbh

cloud shuttle
#

nah im joking

#

whats wrong with the spec

strong forum
#

its boring

cloud shuttle
#

mind you i barely started playing it today

#

hmm

strong forum
#

ye for me its boring

pallid quiver
#

I think Execute should just have a 20% chance to instantly kill the target anytime you press it as Prot

cloud shuttle
#

damn

#

culling strike when

strong forum
#

execute should refund rage again for starters

pallid quiver
#

If you've played enough Prot War, there's not much skill expression; there's not too much of a gap between the skill floor and ceiling

strong forum
#

it does dmg again which is good

cloud shuttle
#

a tank i cant play for the life of me is dh, tried it once and fell over instantly

#

:)

#

but as a dps main, what more can i expect

#

x)

pallid quiver
#

Unfortunately, for most things that you would need to rework with Prot War, I don't think Blizz will change, since a lot of it would mess with the streamlining of how Prot War is played, which is a loose goal for how tanks are played

cloud shuttle
#

is ravager needed

pallid quiver
#

They're generally meant to not be, like, too hard to play on a baseline level since they have to also manage defensives and the like from there

#

Honestly, half the talents on the tree aren't needed

cloud shuttle
#

bad use of wording on my part

pallid quiver
#

You could probably clear encounters even with like half not picked

cloud shuttle
#

is ravager super duper insanely needed

pallid quiver
#

However, it's one of the single best points on the tree

cloud shuttle
#

alright

pallid quiver
#

It's why getting BSV is really hard

cloud shuttle
#

can you unabbreviate that

pallid quiver
#

Since all of our points on the bottom section of the tree are very high value

#

Battle-Scarred Veteran

cloud shuttle
#

thanks

#

thats the anti death one

pallid quiver
#

The pseudo-cheat ability

cloud shuttle
#

well close to it

pallid quiver
#

It not proc'ing on death is notable for how it works

#

Since it can proc when it doesn't actually help at all, making it not available when you do need it

cloud shuttle
#

damn yeah i just skimmed over the bottom part of the tree. super good talents

#

is there a reason for going spear over roar

#

?

#

is it because of the % armor strenght node

mighty valley
#

you want to get that regardless

#

but yeah pathing's a little easier, usually sims better if you have decent crit, rage on cast

tardy abyss
#

Spear is more damage than roar if you have enough crit

cloud shuttle
#

define enough

tardy abyss
#

25%-ish

pallid quiver
#

depends on your stats, really

cloud shuttle
#

because my unoptimized ilvl 600 aa gear got 21% rn

mighty valley
#

it's not an enormous difference either way... but also sometimes a mob tries to leap and gets yoinked and it's funny

pallid quiver
#

It really just is sim for it

cloud shuttle
#

if you go roar, would you go the lower CD or dmg

#

or is it a sim thing

pallid quiver
#

Lower CD is all you can afford iirc?

cloud shuttle
#

i mean either or

#

since i assumed you only get one

#

because of the % armor into strenght node

pallid quiver
#

That was partially for myself

#

Since if you're playing Colossus, you can get both capstones, and you should

cloud shuttle
pallid quiver
#

But as Thane, since Unstoppable Force is a lock in, you can't get one of its capstones

cloud shuttle
#

right

pallid quiver
#

And the bleed increase isn't really as notable for Thane, and having Roar's CD halved is just twice as many casts

cloud shuttle
#

true

#

btw i dont know the talents by heart yet

#

excuse my lack of knowledge

#

🙏

pallid quiver
#

No worries, there's a lot of bodies coming through here who know less, and some that know more that are quite abrasive

#

Sights like you are always refreshing

cloud shuttle
#

😳

#

well i try not to be a dick so

#

since im coming into your space as well

#

and im the one seeking knowledge

#

🙏

#

But the Champions bulwark talent, the one below shield charge. Why would you go that one over the BSV one

tardy abyss
#

As long as you dont come in here with no knowledge and claim to know better youre good

cloud shuttle
#

x)

pallid quiver
#

You require 3 out of 4 of the Shield Block talents on the tree to guarantee 100% uptime

#

Most builds are hard locked into Bulwark, since Bolster is skipped over

cloud shuttle
#

ah

dusky canopy
#

I have zero knowledge

cloud shuttle
#

let me find bolster

dusky canopy
#

Where’s Nim when you need him

#

Damnit NIM!!!

cloud shuttle
#

Right

#

That makes sense, so its kinda hard to get BSV then

#

unless you drop ravager

pallid quiver
#

The four talents, by the way, are Bolster, Champion's Bulwark, Heavy Repercussions (its choice node, Into the Fray, can act as one if you have tons of haste, but it's not worth fussing over if new to the spec), and Enduring Defenses

pallid quiver
#

Neither feels good.

cloud shuttle
#

yeah i can see that

#

damn

#

But i feel like it makes it balanced more in a way to have it built like this no? Its a give and take, which i feel like every spec tree should have

#

i main a ret paladin, and our bottom half class tree is kinda mediocre for capstones

pallid quiver
#

If you're getting BSV, it's probably better to drop Ravager, since the only real use case for BSV other than "I hate pressing buttons, I hate interacting with the game" is high level keys, where dropping any kind of stop is

less than preferable

tardy abyss
#

Not sure if BSV really is that useful in high keys either

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, War's tree is pretty well designed; was one of the absolute best designed on new talent tree's release, but it suffers from there not being real choice

pallid quiver
cloud shuttle
#

i watched one guy on youtube, some random +14 necrotic, and he used bsv without ravager. But i guess the first pull is pretty scary so its needed

pallid quiver
#

But it can help secure yourself and acts as another defensive you can rotate around

pallid quiver
#

Which helps in high keys if you're a high-key tank main and not a Prot War main

tardy abyss
#

When you werent in danger as well

pallid quiver
#

Yep, I brought that up earlier

tardy abyss
#

30% is such a high threshhold

cloud shuttle
#

true

tardy abyss
#

For a rather fake cheat death

pallid quiver
#

I always think of it more as a Necropolis type talent

mighty valley
#

we need to fund a scientific study into how often bsv actually makes a high key possible

#

it's all just vibes based rn

cloud shuttle
#

could be made into a DK one with warrior flavour text. "when taking a fatal hit you go into a barbaric rage enduring all dmg for 3 seconds" or soemthing

pallid quiver
#

Oh, for the reason I bring up the Necropolis bit is because BSV works retroactively on damage like Will of the Necropolis does for DK

#

So BSV makes it so you're unlikely to die, just due to how severe the DR is

tardy abyss
#

Fatal hit would make BSV so much better

#

But I still wouldnt wanna drop Rav for it

dusky canopy
#

Bsv really should just function like BDK and VDH cheats

#

Idk why ours is ass like it is

pallid quiver
#

Since it's not actually a cheat from a design perspective

#

They didn't want to give Prot War a cheat death, but they wanted something to help them in struggle situations, which BSV fits

#

We just don't end up in that situation if playing well

#

where the problem and disconnect in its usefulness comes from

cloud shuttle
#

i wonder why not all tanks got an "Oh shit" passive

#

ive played brew a tiny bit, but they dont have one either

#

not sure if bear has one or not

#

but from what ive seen they dont

#

Something pretty neat is how the artifact sheathes on prot warr

#

wish that was a toggle or something

tardy sequoia
#

Are you supposed to freeze some adds on nw 2nd boss?

warm plinth
#

You can

#

CCed adds don't get blown up by the aoe

cloud shuttle
#

just did my first m+ as prot on my warr

#

told the group i was new to tanking

pallid quiver
#

I only ever get one of two things

#

Either compliments like that

#

Y'know, that one's fair to block, auto-mod

cloud shuttle
#

yeah understandable

pallid quiver
#

At any rate, two different scales.

wooden widget
#

Has anyone been the third wheel slider tank on brood before?

pallid quiver
#

I know Sense was

#

They had to bring in a BDK for their kill

wooden widget
#

I’m feeling useless until the mutated spiders in second egg area. Then I’m like insta getting 5-8 stacks and dying or coming close

cloud shuttle
#

I think prot warr got a very good kit for most scenarios

#

aoe taunt is really nice

#

aoe dmg reduction as well

#

and some hefty defensives

wooden widget
#

I’m almost wondering if it would be better for me to tank boss. And shift one of our bdks to the spiders?

#

This is reclear btw. So the two bdks wanted to stay on boss cuz that’s what they know. But I feel like I’m competing with mass grip constantly

cloud shuttle
#

so what race are ya'lls warriors

#

did you pick based off of racials or aesthetic

pallid quiver
#

I've been a Tauren Warrior since I started

#

because big cow man, and then I grew to enjoy being a cow specifically

cloud shuttle
#

ive always wanted to know

#

how big is the stam buff

pallid quiver
#

no

cloud shuttle
#

no?

pallid quiver
#

i don't think it exists

cloud shuttle
#

oh..

pallid quiver
#

It's been absolutely miniscule since it was changed to base stam in WotLK

cloud shuttle
#

wait

#

what

#

its not total stam?

pallid quiver
#

However, the crit damage bonus is stonks

#

Nope, Tauren racial for stamina has been off base, super base like level stam, for a long hot minute

#

It adds pretty much 0 HP effectively

cloud shuttle
#

damn, never knew

#

i always assumed it was a % increase off of your hp

#

like any old stam buff

#

like a 5% or something buff

pallid quiver
#

Most racials, for the record, go off of base stats, which is why they're so minimal in effect usually.

cloud shuttle
#

ah

#

well ive mostly been a human guy anyways

pallid quiver
#

So the only racials worth considering from a performance perspective if you're fussing over that are Dorf and NE

#

And very rarely you could consider BE if it'd enable a comp to have an AOE purge if it was useful, but it's not really, so

cloud shuttle
#

is dorf supposed to be dark iron?

pallid quiver
#

Dorf and Dark Iron both, because they can dispell themselves

#

Including bleeds

cloud shuttle
#

idk what dorf is

#

xd

pallid quiver
#

Dwarves

cloud shuttle
#

oh

#

aah i get it

pallid quiver
#

just a way of saying it dorfy

cloud shuttle
#

xddd

#

Nah im not too bothered by performance racials tbh

#

and dwarfs got weird animations

#

like i cant play it

#

because of that one single thing

#

the spinny 2h attack

pallid quiver
#

for the record on tauren stam racial

cloud shuttle
#

3k stam is nothing

lofty warren
#

I was told dwarf is bis. Is it Tauren now?

cloud shuttle
#

well isnt dwarf always bis, because of the racials

pallid quiver
#

you should try reading the last few messages

cloud shuttle
#

:)

pallid quiver
#

But yeah, Dorf or NE

#

NE Shadowmeld lets you do some jank sometimes

cloud shuttle
#

my DK is a nelf, but only because they look cool

lofty warren
#

Highmountin getting buffed and I did the math and it was like bad before and it's basically still insignificante

cloud shuttle
#

im considering race changing my main paladin into a LF goat

#

if i were to race change i'd go highmountain tauren

#

but then i'd probably need to faction swap every character i have

#

because i cant be going around double dipping!

lofty warren
#

Go to dragon race I haven't seen any dragon wars

cloud shuttle
#

also whats the highmountain buff?

#

ive seen a dragon warrior lmao

lofty warren
#

Look for 11.7 race buffs

cloud shuttle
#

aight

#

draenei buff holy

#

bro the racial is (stamina x 0.003 x 20)

#

as dmg reduction

#

let me do the math on my current warr

#

22.5k dmg reduction?

lofty warren
#

Yea it's basically like highmointains gonna have 6% passive dr on all damage

cloud shuttle
#

idk if my math was right

#

LF draenei getting a 1% healing boost woah

#

what trinkets do ya'll go for

#

im looking at wowhead and im surprised the ratings are as such

pallid quiver
#

Whatever sims highest DPS of what I have

cloud shuttle
#

so you dont go defensive trinkets?

pallid quiver
#

Tank trinkets this season are

a little scuffed

cloud shuttle
#

hm

pallid quiver
#

They don't really do anything

cloud shuttle
#

damn

jagged gust
#

50k hps poggers

pallid quiver
#

Add that to the fact you don't need them for anything

#

And it's hard to sell defensive trinkets

#

Defensive trinkets are just rough design-wise, anyhow

#

If they become necessary to prog/etc, the game can get kind of degenerate real fast

#

And it removes the ability to tune around tanks and makes tank effectiveness no longer deterministic based upon class and play, instead based upon the RNG of having a trinket

cloud shuttle
#

unrelated

#

but

pallid quiver
#

That's also why I think Rageheart was a little scuffed for being usable by DPS in S3/S4 of DF, since it effectively gave them an extra CD. Luckily, nothing was designed with that in mind, so it was only causing things for high M+

#

which infinitely scales, so you just actually cannot design healthy options for literally every key level

cloud shuttle
#

hm

pallid quiver
merry sluice
#

hey
you all cute, remember that

back into the void i go

pallid quiver
#

gottem

cloud shuttle
#

so how much haste is too much haste

#

not that it matters for me now anyways

pallid quiver
#

Can't really hit a particular cap of note this season

#

Unless you're like max geared, everything haste, using haste flasks, and don't have any of the very rare items

#

Then you might start touching it

#

Ultimately, you'd sim for DPS, since all stats defensively are close enough that the biggest boost is just having stats

strong forum
#

cuz im not streaming wow its prolly filtering

cloud shuttle
#

damn

#

bro is streaming and on discord

#

crazy

pallid quiver
#

what are you gonna do in the seven hours before you actually get into the game

cloud shuttle
#

vampire survivors

#

something i just noticed on the talent tree

#

and i find super weird

#

why is this a choice node

#

this choice node seems so weird

#

block dmg or spell block

pallid quiver
#

it used to be less of a joke

#

In DF S1 at the very start specifically, it was a way to get to punish if you didn't need Spell Block, while also adding a non-zero amount of damage

#

now it's

#

just really bad

#

You'd pick spell block anyways if you just wanted to get to punish for 1 point because you could at least get some value out of it.

heck, maybe even bolster

cloud shuttle
#

i think the dmg could be doubled and it'd probably still not be taken

pallid quiver
#

There's just some instances where spell block isn't really meaningful, even in current season

cloud shuttle
#

mists maybe?

pallid quiver
#

I think it's Siege or something?

#

mists can be one if the slasher mobs don't live too long

#

Anima slash can be reflected, so you can coast by decently well enough between that and Shield Wall

cloud shuttle
#

i see

pallid quiver
#

I can't even remember which dungeons fully have spell blockable stuff smh

#

I'm washed this season

cloud shuttle
#

i only managed to reflect 1 thing

#

sadge

#

lower average then when im on dps spec

pallid quiver
#

Really, you should just see something casting at you, then just press it

#

It's a 20s CD on a 25% DR for magic damage

#

Even if you don't reflect, it's less damage

cloud shuttle
#

i do but it seems that everyone wants to stun and kick everything targetting me x)

#

yeah i use it for the dmg reduction

#

but i only reflected one thing

#

what even is the vanguard script on details

#

ive tried using it before and didnt do anything, but seemed to activate now since im on tank spec

#

xdd

normal crag
#

Yo, good morning people.
I'm not good with writing macros so I wanted to ask if anyone can give me a macro that does ravager on cursor and if I press left control it does it on player. Much appreciated ❤️

wild chasm
#

Should I go for a crafted shield? Don't have anything to spend crests on this week although it still feels like a waste, since I have 639 weps, so if I dropped a shield it would be 639 without crests :/

#

And prot is my offspec

wicked pollen
#

you just wait to get it from mythic

#

there will be a week when it drops from first boss

wild chasm
#

My guild has seen it once -,-

cloud shuttle
wild chasm
#

And we recently got new people, so I'm freeing the slot to test them

cloud shuttle
#

this one works with alt

#

Idk how to get it to work with control, but it works with alt click

#

i broke my brewmaster aoe taunt macro to test this xd

#

idk why i didnt just copy pasted it

chilly brook
timber nest
#

what flasks are people using?

wild chasm
#

Tempered Swiftness / Alchemical Chaos

timber nest
#

situational?

wicked pollen
#

but yeah

cloud shuttle
#

@normal crag this one works for left control

#showtooltip Ravager
/cast [nomod,@cursor,harm,nodead] Ravager
/cast [nomod] ravager
/cast [mod:ctrlalt] [@player] Ravager

wild chasm
#

ctrlalt? Remove the alt xD

cloud shuttle
#

then ctrl doesnt work

#

altctrl makes it so control works, but it now also functions on alt

#

i have no idea how to make macros btw

#

this is like some duct tape solution i made myself

#

for yasser

#

:)

#

yasser doesnt like my effort it seems

#

hasnt responded at all

#

😔

wild chasm
#

#showtooltip
/cast [mod:ctrl,@player] [@cursor] Ravager
Works and ctrl modifier can't be used for 1-0 unless you remove your normal keybindings for those keys, because those are for pet abilities normally

cloud shuttle
#

this guy knows

#

i lowkey just yoinked my monk aoe taunt and scuffed something together :)

fringe chasm
#

How often is Revenge free via parry/block dodges?

shrewd grove
fringe chasm
#

i get that, but when im hitting the dummies try to familiarise myself with the rotation, it kinda impacts how often i will burn 20 rage on it or not

#

just trying to get an idea is all

quiet monolith
#
