That makes me sad.

#

Criticism is essential for growth. People need to get out of their feelings about that sorta stuff.

sharp gale
#

but tbh after doing few keys with swarmlord it is really weak compared to every other def trinket i know, it's just the only one that is not complet shit this season that's it

jagged pier
#

Its a slightly less than a full ip on a 1:30 min cd isnt it?

blazing condor
#

u telling me i can have almost TWO IPs at the same time??

sharp gale
#

idk what is the amount 639, but i press IP i have 1 m

#

i can't believe it is 2.5 m at 639

jagged pier
#

Big defensives right there

sharp gale
#

i redid a key right now with swarmlord bc it was a long time

#

it just ate the hps of my IPs

tardy abyss
sharp gale
#

it gave me worth of 120* (i overvalued ip because priest) IPs basically, that i'm sure i press anyway even with the trinket on me

#

in 20 min

plush radish
#

It's just hard to see Swarmlord as bad. Especially with it scaling off haste and prot seemingly just stacking haste infinitely.

violet ginkgo
#

They just can't create things that similar to dreadplate anymore

plush radish
#

Game balance is a very hard science.

unborn island
#

What add-ons/WA's do you use to track group CD's?

#

I haven't bothered since a long time ago and so I'm out of date 🙂

hazy bronze
#

OmniCD or MethodRaidTools are good addons

unborn island
#

Cheers

#

Think Omni cd is the one I used so will go with that

tardy abyss
#

But with that in mind Im not sure how its hard to see it as bad

#

When other offensive trinkets such as Skarmorak or Mark also help with our defense

pallid quiver
unborn island
#

Are there any good guides on grouping double/triple pulls as warr? Feels like every pack has at least 1 caster.

I'm talking about pugs, when they actively interrupt it's a piece of cake, but often there'll just be a caster sat halfway across the map

pallid quiver
#

Any combination of LOS, pull one caster on to the other caster, or just don't even pull that many spam casters that refuse to walk

unborn island
#

Yeah, that's generally what I try to do, but there just always feels like pulls where they're just a pain in the dick, even some easy ones like the furthers mini boss in arakara

#

That caster just never nicely comes to the boss to allow a clean pull

#

Maybe just mad cos bad 🙂

quiet monolith
#

That's on others to help

sweet summit
#

wild concept but there are four other people that should contribute towards completing the key in the most efficient way possible

jagged pier
#

no erga must all be done by tank

sweet summit
#

if you tell this to a dps player their head will explode so be careful

plush radish
#

Heaven forbid a shaman should use the best kick in the game to interrupt a caster in. It stops them going pew for a global.

Just gimme back gag order.

jagged pier
#

yer that doesnt work with a spamable ability, when we had that it had a cd

plush radish
#

I only need it every now and again.

#

And honestly, with how hit or miss dps and heal kicks are, I have leaned heavily into the "I'll do it myself" mindset.

raw oracle
#

I can’t count the amount of times on GB that the first pull that I’ve kicked the caster once and went for LOS with dragon only to have the rest of the group sitting in the open letting it free cast

quiet monolith

If only we had a magic immune for a party member, and brez, and cleanse , and sac, and a phys immune, and top DPS

It’s the worst trinket ever if it did 20 m

sweet egret
#

are there any defensive trinkets of note coming in season 2?

keen leaf
jagged pier
#

but not because of the defence aspect

#

the tooltip only tells u about half the trinket

#

from a hc run i did on friday and thats the damage at 593 ilvl

#

thats ignoring the 2-4k prema crit it gives u at that ilvl too

#

(4k only for a little bit)

sharp gale
jagged pier
#

it was like 829k or somthing i got bad gear and it wasnt a pasring run

#

still 99 overall tho

#

but im washed

cyan bronze
jagged pier
#

but doing as nearly as much damage as a mandate is memes

cyan bronze
sharp gale
#

and from raid

cyan bronze
#

ya

#

theres this: from mechagon

#

but its rly ass

#

like 4k armor at 636 max stacks keks

jagged pier
sharp gale
#

i never saw an trinket working with armor or per attack reduction being good

cyan bronze
#

people will run it because its a """tank""" trinket

jagged pier
#

season 4 DF there was that one from the first boss of second raid

#

that one was good

#

but also pumped

cyan bronze
#

dreadplate?

jagged pier
#

ye

cyan bronze
#

ye that thing shreds

#

kurog trinket was nice on some tank

#

df had alot of nice tank trinkets

so why are u talking about the trinkets in it

#

or i guess

#

the trinkets not in it keks

sharp gale
#

i already know which one is bis

it was strong on my hunt

cyan bronze

when i tested it on beta

wicked pollen

hi diva

evil time

isnt there that

#

cinderbrew meadery trinket or smth thats good?

#

bugged in a similar way to dreadplate

sharp gale
#

cinderbrew tank trink has no main stat i think

cyan bronze
#

during like week 1

sharp gale
#

it was the other trink no ?

sweet egret
#

emergency sip yes please

sharp gale
jagged pier
# sharp gale

even at higher ilvl its probably less absorb than current trinkets

cyan bronze
#

idk 1 of them is buged

#

and works too good

#

and i think it was stein

sharp gale
#

the honey buzzer was Pre-raid bis

#

for my hunt

#

and the sigil from rookery

cyan bronze
#

if this works as tooltip suggests

#

then its giga ass

#

but

wicked pollen
cyan bronze
#

i guess maybe its ok for group dmg

#

hi gio57

wicked pollen
#

do aug key with me

cyan bronze
#

i really hope its not another season of either running really boring damage trinkets or really shit tank trinkets

sharp gale
cyan bronze
#

its a sip with urgency

sweet egret
#

u scared so u drink beer

cyan bronze
#

i imagine

cyan bronze
#

i do hope this one is rly strong

#

would be so fun to do a key with my 5 friends who all embrace the power of friendship

sharp gale
#

he is boring tho

sweet egret
#

I wish I had friends

cyan bronze
#

what does it do

#

i miss party stacking trinkets

no, I just sit in lfg 🙂

cyan bronze

i rmbr i made so many friends with my oce set to all stat

sharp gale

oh friend on wow

cyan bronze

"wow this vdh so cool and ethical he has all stat oce im going to friend him"

sharp gale
#

idk i just sit in dornogal ppl whisp me

#

it's not something i need to actively do

cyan bronze
#

also

#

its prob a double priory trinket angle

#

gg

sharp gale
#

the signet ?

cyan bronze
#

ye it seems ok ish

sweet egret
#

I wanted to push for title this season

cyan bronze
#

ik it got nerfed

#

but

#

still seems ok

sharp gale
#

2min

cyan bronze
sweet egret
#

but solo it's hard

cyan bronze
#

meh

#

per hit of it, assuming everyone has it equiped its 6503 your secondary and then 4x171 group secondary

sweet egret
#

and I didn't reroll pala <:

cyan bronze
#

assuming everyone equips it and syncs it, its 171x4x4

#

7187 stat per person collectively

#

unless i misunderstand how the trinket works

sharp gale
#

no i think you understand it

cyan bronze
#

maybe 1 hit of trinket only gives 1 person stat

#

or maybe u can only benefit from extra stat x1

#

not x4

sharp gale
#

it gives 171 when press at everyone who got the trinket

#

for 20 sec

cyan bronze
#

does it stack?

#

that seems kinda silly if u can stack that shit in raid

#

wait

#

LOL

sharp gale
#

idk do you have it and are EU ?

cyan bronze
#

no, na

#

sadly

#

if it can stack

#

assuming everyone in raid hits it synced

#

thats

#

3420 stat

sharp gale
cyan bronze
#

am going off of 636

cyan bronze
#

they usually leave scaling on most trinkets alone, outside of buffing underperformers

sharp gale
#

i assume every next season trinkets are not tuned at all

cyan bronze
#

ye prob

#

but just a rough look for now

#

if its not stack capped at 5

#

then

sweet egret
cyan bronze
#

it will be dogshit in m+ because it will be way too strong in raid

#

i wonder if we get a cheat death trinket

#

next tier

#

i rly hope that we do, and that they do something interesting with it

boreal heath
tardy abyss
#

Please no cheat death trinket

#

Thats so lame

cyan bronze
#

i mean

#

with the trinkets they have currently

#

i dont think they should add a cheat trinket

tardy abyss
#

We dont need swarmlords to repeat

cyan bronze
#

but i think generally a cheat trinket is good for m+ in general

violet ginkgo
#

we need dreadplate to repeat

tardy abyss
#

yes

boreal heath
cyan bronze
#

what about a trinket that splits damage you take with group

#

reverse mass sac

#

that would be so poggers

tardy abyss
#

Would it

cyan bronze
#

yea

#

let me show u an example

tardy abyss
#

You know it would be capped right

boreal heath
sharp gale
#

i just saw the crit-haste ring is theater of pain, among 4 other rings

boreal heath
#

Are there any good trinks in top/mechagon/the other one

cyan bronze
#

uhh

sharp gale
#

no

cyan bronze
#

currently tuned like ass

#

but its neat in theory

sharp gale
#

mechagon

cyan bronze
#

its kinda hard to say idk all the trinkets from old dungeons are VERY undertuned

boreal heath
#

Is there anything super broken

cyan bronze
#

nah

tardy abyss
cyan bronze
#

broken in the sense that

#

its terrible

cyan bronze
#

its 4k armor

sharp gale
cyan bronze
#

at 636 maxstacks

#

so ye

tardy abyss
#

4k per stack and it would be ok-ish

cyan bronze
#

theres literally no good tank trinkets

boreal heath
#

Like we're any of them broken originally

cyan bronze
#

dunno tbh

violet ginkgo
#

so basically the "hope" is from new dungeon and new raid right? But even then we can't trust blizz to give proper tank trinks.

cyan bronze
#

theres some really cool damagetrinkets

#

to be fair

#

that arent tuned to shit

boreal heath
#

Oh actually wasn't the cinderbrew trink kind of broken at heroic

tardy abyss
#

We will pick up dps trinkets anyway

boreal heath
#

Ilvl

sharp gale
#

give me back the fat shield trinkets

tardy abyss
#

Just like we do now

cyan bronze
#

or something

#

idk

#

i remember seeing a post about it

sharp gale
#

give me back trinkets replacing healers

cyan bronze
#

i do wonder what trinkets will floodgate bring

sweet summit
cyan bronze
#

new dungeons have historically brought trinkets that are popular with tanks ig

boreal heath
#

Damm

cyan bronze
#

(stonescales and codex)

boreal heath
#

That's like a better splinter

#

Tbf most tanks using stonescales never needed it

cyan bronze
#

1 time i remember i used stonescales proc to time a galakronds fall

#

👍

#

there was an incorp on far edge of map on galakrond burn phase...

boreal heath
#

And you ran to it and "died"

cyan bronze
#

ye leaped out of bubble, prisoned, cheated

#

didnt die tho

boreal heath
#

Only dungeon where I consistently procced cheat was rise

#

Shit was on cd basically on cd

cyan bronze
#

I remember I died one time and didn’t proc cheat death

#

Overkilled too hard

boreal heath
#

Where

cyan bronze
#

Brh

#

2nd to last boss

boreal heath
#

Oh the charger guy

cyan bronze
#

thought I could tank one last charge(with 3 stacks and enrage and tyr)

boreal heath
#

Should've popped everything

#

Stack all your CDs

cyan bronze

it was thru dev

I miss twilight devastation so much…

#

I'm glad we don't have a cata dungeon this rotation

#

Historically all cata dungs have been ass

#

VP throne and GB

sharp gale
#

Pre-m+ dungeons*

#

MoP too was ass

#

The train too

#

Iron docks is the best pre-m+ in my opinion they did

boreal heath

#

Nothing compares to it

at least GB is not old 1 mechs trashs/bosses just on steroid because it's retail

shadowmoon burial ground long boy boss is the best example of dogshit no mechs classic just on steroid bc retail

boreal heath
#

GB is awful for tanking

tardy abyss
#

GB is a nightmare for tanks how is that not bad

boreal heath
#

It's like have all ur defensives for every pull or die

sharp gale
#

it is design choice of the whole season tbh

#

tankbusters that os every 15 sec

boreal heath
#

In SV there are packs that have no tank hits and are chill

cyan bronze
sharp gale
#

and i'm glad im prot because of spell reflect

boreal heath
cyan bronze
#

It’s blizzard buddy

#

I genuinely do think

#

That there isn’t a solution that blizzard and more than both 33% of tank players and 50% of non tank players would be happy with

cyan bronze
#

Tanks don’t die ever

boreal heath
#

I don't wanna die because I had to use all my defensives last pull

cyan bronze
#

You always now bring either highest damage tank or prot paladin

#

(which, I guess you already did, but now you don’t have to worry about them dying)

boreal heath

:yippee:

Though S3 DF vdh wasn't highest dam

But you brought it cuz chaos brand+sigils

violet ginkgo
keen leaf
#

like damage intake? warrior damage intake is smooth as fuck lol

boreal heath
pallid quiver
#

honestly, that's pretty smooth damage intake

#

Just because it's high don't mean it's not smooth

boreal heath
#

Or well damage intake doesn't feel significantly different from df

#

Minus the self sustain

keen leaf
#

I think you might just be playing wrong lol

boreal heath
#

Okay maybe not on pwar since it's damage intake profile hasn't changed much. Just feels kind of bad when healer dies and you struggle to keep the pack going solo

rancid tiger
#

I mean at least in low key 10- content it feels alright tbh

#

Rarely does tank die first

tardy abyss
#

Depends on the pack

#

There are plenty of packs where you can live solo for a long time

#

Even in keys over 12

#

earthquaker is better than boneshaker no? cdr + no dr on knockup?

Even with the knockup

i love that knockup so much, it's so funny

#

It does like nothing

How to handle the tank bustero n the 1st boss of Dawnbreaker right as the rotating line thingie goes out? I was just 100-0'd twice by it with DS and SR up. 620 ilevel, +11

Did you not have IP up at all?

smoky anvil
#

I’ll tank and I’ll dps, won’t ever catch me healing. Especially this season.

boreal heath
#

I can't play DPS sometimes tanks either pull too little, overpull and die or pull weirdly

Or when they split the first pull of mists in 2

quiet monolith
#

Dps is so chill. I love arms, but can't even get invited to 10s so I just have to tank all the time

vital pollen
#

I honestly just can't find competent DPS to push into 11s. Every single key, DPS die to telegraphed AOE. Every. single. one.

#

Maybe DPS needs to be less chill.

ahhh didnt know that about spell block, not me pressing it 0 times because i just figured it wasnt a spell

bold depot
#

is there some kind of bug with spell reflect or something that causes him to get 2 stacks instantly

vague imp
#

Folks, I'm 629 and occasionally will struggle to hold threat against the DPS in my group.

If I have Challenging Shout, I'm fine. If I have Avatar/Spear, I'm usually fine.

When should I use Avatar specifically? If I leap/charge in I'll use Avatar as I'm travelling. but I sometimes feel like it needs to be the first thing I do because my DPS will pop their CDs and go nuts before I've had a chance to stabilise, which can sometimes mean Shield Block is delayed by 1 or 2 GCDs.

I've 2 paladins and 1 mage in my static, at least once per dungeon one of them will die because they take aggro from me on the pull.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

pallid quiver
#

Your base rotation is almost certainly wrong considering you're having trouble getting shield block up on pull

#

which is done by pressing charge+avatar

vague imp
#

That's always my first action. If I have rage already, I'll sometimes use leap to engage.

wicked pollen
#

do you have a log?

pallid quiver
#

You should always engage with charge as much as possible at the end; if you already have rage and you have a charge available, spend the rage on IP before you charge

vague imp
#

I don't, no. I'll get one and come back 🙂

pallid quiver
#

It's not at all a consideration

#

You'll definitely want to come back with a log, since your rotation is borked in a way we can't tell off your description without seeing an actual timeline of abilities you're using

vague imp
#

Roger that, will do.

wicked pollen
#

in my experience i only struggle/d with threat when extremely undergeared (10s at 590), still learning prot and not doing rotation, or dps sending full cds as i send 1 global

vague imp
wicked pollen
#

how long does it take for you to get aggro if they send everything

pallid quiver
#

A lot of tanks will ask for time, but a lot of those same tanks are also playing very unoptimally

wicked pollen
#

it just seems like you arent pressing anything

pallid quiver
#

If you start out behind, it'll be harder to recover without taunting, though it shouldn't be dramatically hard with how high aggro modifiers are on tanks

wicked pollen
#

hi luerce

pallid quiver
#

Howdy there, Gio

strong forum
#

That's just how the fight works

vague imp
#

I'll hopefully get a log tonight, which will also hopefully not expose me as a bad tank 😂

Generally it is just that though: rer paladins popping everything in the first global.

strong forum
#

Can't say I've had that experience ever of dps popping early and dying to threat

#

But I also don't pug frequently enough

#

Only when a new pack came in, and then didn't have a global to proper hit said new pack while the dps are hitting the old pack

You send your shit early cuz you know they send early

Or you tell em to wait properly for shit to be grouped

hearty cradle
#

Maybe did you consider that the mage player playing a melee class perhaps didn't wait

Because that seems very likely that it was probably my fault

I had a pug yesterday where the dps'er just kept pulling random stuff that we didn't need. I went with it for half a dungeon and then just stopped moving after he pulled yet another pack and watched him die and go "tank??"

If it's a big pull I have big rage gen so I can IP more

Pretty normal thing rly

Cuz leech and rage gen goes up with target count

Up to a point to where you can stabilise more through those than you take dmg

It's not about total numbers but about being stable

Parry also gets more traction in bigger pulls

wouldnt the deep wounds heal you talent gain value or the ip talent then

if we cast ip less

strong forum

On paper yes

But in practice you Die quicker

#

Cuz it means your IP is always gone insta

#

Whereas BrV when you do 3mil dps

#

Means you send 300k into IP

#

Which helps keep up IP alot more

#

Which in turn means your hp stays high a lot more

#

Like just sending 1 revenge in aoe after IP

#

Is immediately 250k IP extra gained

#

From 1 global

#

Colossus also has that talent that boosts ip by 20%

#

So by default you have higher likelihood of fewer IP casts being up for longer

#

Which means more potential BrV value

violet ginkgo
#

but what about for thane? I mean does BrV value good too considering Thane press IP a lot.

pallid quiver
#

That also fuels into why Colo can be notably squishier in higher keys, as well, since it's more likely for an IP to be blown through before you can fluff it a bit with BrV, and you're not gonna re-apply it as much

strong forum

Yes valk

BrV is just better

The ring is not on the current raidbots cuz it aint on retail yet

There's no point in simming it before it even exists on the servers

Well how did you figure out then that its barely a dps gain for dps

sharp gale
#

i'm too lazy to learn how to do those type of useless previsions sims

untold bane
#

Then it does not take little to figure out

sharp gale
#

I weight effort/reward, it doesn’t apply to learn advanced test private sims for something you will have anyway on release

#

You can’t predict tuning too, so don’t plan heavily if you don’t spend huge time on the game

#

You will have the ring anyway in your bag, if it becomes good, you will equip it that’s it

strong forum
#

One can manually build simc on your own PC and run Sims locally. Raidbots is "just" a pretty website that runs those same sims with an easy user interface

#

But after recent stealth buffs of the ring, it will be a substantial single target dps gain

#

Still takes 6 weeks to max out the ring tho

How do you guys pull the double pack at the start of COT? Do you just grab the casters then add the big guys, or do you go round, get the big guy and charge back to the casters?

I can't find a way that I like.

mortal pecan
#

Ideally you have DPS kick casters so you can pull into the big dude. But that never happens

unborn island
#

Just seems that if I go get the big guy he always uses the frontal back over the casters, which doesn't usually end too well

strong forum

Don't pull the 2 in the front

You can walk around that pack on teh side

I do the 4 pack and the big guy

unborn island

I don't do the 2 immediately in front

strong forum

Yeah so, should be fine no?

#

You pull big guy first

#

And then yadayeet into the 4pack

unborn island

So run all the way around then bring him back in- I just tried that and it seems to make him just reliable use the frontal onto the 4 pack?

ok so...i run a +7 CoT....first pull with the 2 packs at the begining went in used shiled block and shield wall along with my ofensives....tried to keep shield block up as much as possible and used ignore pain as a filler when rage was around 90...and yet i was at 20% health no matter what i did....my question is is it normal???

pallid quiver
#

Without any logs, we can't tell you anything

#

absolutely not

you're higher ilvl than my prot war and sounds like you're getting slapped by not interrupting casts

since the largest majority of damage from the very first groups in CoT come from casts

sweet egret
#

no, it is not normal

tiny plank
#

ok tyvm 🙂

sweet egret
#

it's a long time since I was at that ilvl but I don't remember ever being threatened in a 7

#

the big guy does a ground frontal which hurts if you stand in it

#

and quite the heavy aoe dot on everyone

#

I don't think the casts should worry you too much off the top of my head

#

but turning your back to some of the mobs or failing to keep shield block up would quickly do a lot of damage

(shield block only works from the front)
