dense remnant

so before i build my own around that base, does someone have a weakaura that tracks the extra buff duration nicely for example

strange lintel
#

hey for trinkets. do we need any of the actual tanking trinkets or just go full blast with w.e aoe dps trinkets i can slap on?

i got a 1h for offspec

its time to own

#

hey guys does raidbots only sim for dps and not survivability etc? i have the defensive trinket from stix but a lower ilvl noggenfogger is simming much higher

jagged pier
#

Well u can surivie with top dps stats and gear, so u might as well sim as surivibility comes from play not gear and stats

#

But if having a defnesive trinket makes u feel bettee run it. Even tho bombsuit is the only good one

karmic stream
#

which one? my other trinket is tank one from gallyx

#

I’m noticing that avatar and demo shout often are coming off cd around 4-7 seconds from each other, is it worth holding avatar for that or just pumping it, same for demolish

wicked pollen
#

ava no

gentle acorn
#

This is assuming that you loose no casts over a fight

wicked pollen
#

demo maybe for demolish

#

but otherwise send

urban portal
#

But you don’t know whether you’ll lose no casts because you can’t see the future

#

And every couple seconds is a partial casts and it adds up

wicked pollen
#

i can

#

i know i burst infinitely more if i hold cooldowns for 5-7s

solid sun
#

infinitely

#

Everything dies instantly

#

I just send avatar asap everytime because that’s what the guide says to do and never even ever second guessed it

urban portal
#

Avatar asap yeah

#

It’s a long duration

#

And is affected by am

I send demolish asap too

Just all of it everytime

is operation floodgate the hardest dungeon to pug?

frozen sentinel
#

ehh depends, I personally don’t like brewery

#

Floodgate isn’t too bad once you know mechanics

smoky anvil
#

I like Floodgate. I hate Brewery.

winged pawn
#

yeah that makes sense. its such a mixed bag for flood gate. sometimes i can't even beat the first boss and other times we finish with like 10 min left

#

in low keys

smoky anvil
#

I linked damage from a 6 floodgate the other day. I didn’t mention we wiped in it lmao. It’s an easy dungeon to have things go wrong if certain if/then statements aren’t done in a proper manner.

But ye. I was having a hard time on the fight cuz of that. I asked my boys wtf, “I was in my CDs man I’m not doing that mechanic”

Thank yall so much

I really felt alone in zap idiot jail

It’s good to know I have some friends experiencing the same silliness

yesterday it bugged twice in a row and the ball wouldn't dissapear with the water 🙂

that was fun

I think I’d prefer it bugging out

Gotta feel better than the squad sabotaging you

lining up my ball and BAM homie steals the puddle.

Now I just heroic leap to the other side and fuck dps players

#

FACTS. that's a "fuck you

moment

#

or you get paired with the one ranged standing out on mud boss

vital vale
#

btw for those who needed to know this, the water doesn't rly hurt you until it's electrified

so you can walk into and past a water circle when kiting

#

just get out before the spark goes in

im gonna hide surrounded by 5 puddles i don’t even know how a melee can come here hihihi

@lusty grotto bro the 13 priory I missed by 24 seconds last week got changed to timed with the M+ timer tuning

small steeple
#

wait timer changes are retroactive? Does that mean if you timed a rookery last week, it could now be untimed with the shorter timer?

sharp gale
#

Yep like first season when they changed timers of insert dungeon

#

I don’t’ remember

small steeple
#

oh damn

#

I wonder if you timed a 10 rookery, go tthe portal, and now its no longer timed.... do yuo stil have the portal?

sharp gale
#

They removed 1 min from darkflame and added 1 30 in priory

ionic nimbus
#

And Even with reduced timer DFC is nerfed… this worm change is a big w

small steeple
#

I love the worm change

#

If that was live last week I might have actually tried to run my 13 dfc instead of pugging into groups for the last few days

tacit falcon
#

fr those worms were VILE.

I made the mistake of taking extra bone mages. I ltierally got insta 1 shot by the bone spears before I could stun em

Bone mages ez with purge or mass dispel

One part is full casters with 0 melee swings except few

I really don’t think ML is too bad

no thats hps, in damage taken you can toggle into ehrps

but what was your damage

thats what really matters

It doesn’t matter in a 10, dk damage is random proc and explode after 10 seconds (things needs to live)

My dk is just a guild raid thing, he will get deleted when I don’t need him anymore

(When guild realizes you don’t need a bdk in this raid)

I love bdk

#

Probably my most played tank

But I don’t like deathbringer at all so I didn’t really touch it this expansion

I love it too, but I don’t want to push ever on it and random damage = in my trash can

Happy to hear vampire is on top

I always enjoy getting up to 10 and doing 10s on it

Sanlayn is actually banging?

It is why bdk is top damage, we play sanlayn and get a proc before the pack is half dead

Anyone else find priory first boss to be a MENACE on fort? Did a +5 and it was fine, but the +8 was unplayable for me

#

The tankbuster bleed absolutely shredded through SB IP SW

#

Might have been a healer thing but I feel like I shouldn't need to be giga pumped with heals just to live

#

Im 650ilvl healer was 638 so was fine on that front as well

#

UNFORTUNATELY I didnt think to save the logs or I would have posted them for review

neon elk
#

Bleed dmg shouldnt depend on fort, its boss so its tyra . Make sure healer dispel u, then its all just CDs, dump rage into IP and pray your heal isnt afk, this is probably worst boss for pwar and u are in healers hands whole fight

#

Also we have tyra week unless its 10+

half sapphire
#

Yeah, tanked that guy on a 10 yesterday. Get that defensive stance up and pray your healer knows how heavy it is when it’s your time of the month

thin marten
#

any cool weakaura for tracking luck of the draw

pure sinew
#

Any advice on rage management as you start to push higher keys? I feel like I am constantly rage starved and nothing to do about it? I think I am definitely pressing revenge too much so that might be one change but otherwise not sure whatelse to do.

hushed cobalt
#

speaking of priory first boss, i've noticed that i'll be fine for the first 75% of the fight, get chunked and slapped for a bit, then be fine for the rest of the fight. healer is dispelling and i dstance swap here and there, just not sure if there's something i'm missing 🤷‍♂️

smoky anvil
#

If you go left, healer has to put their big person undies on.

mighty valley

And you need to rotate CDs and pray they have hands and can dispel.

mage priest lock they just did a copy pasta

#

recolour

slow moon
#

these are all recolors

tribal wharf
#

but the use of color ranges they are doing is good

#

my thoughts is that its the SCARLET crusade

slow moon
#

warrior and paladin are just the t6 warrior set

tribal wharf
#

so, alot of it should have red?

#

or like the same like, cultic red white black grey gold silver themes you find all over SM

#

here look,

#

one of these things is not like the others....

smoky anvil
#

I need that warrior tier

tribal wharf
#

it is i would just have major feels bads if i was warlock

smoky anvil
#

Marvelous coloring

tribal wharf
#

and my buddy is a friggin mage or prest

smoky anvil
#

Warlock is cringe

#

Mage is solid

#

Priest is also okay

#

Not great

#

Ok

tribal wharf
#

im saying i think they could recolor everything to have red

#

and should ppl love color red

#

scarlet monestary

smoky anvil
#

Ya red or minimum red accents

#

Paladin is kinda scuffed

tribal wharf
#

its sort of like, you know how you have to hit the randomize name/face in wow like 20 times

#

to get whta you want

#

they should do that for these sets of armor

slow moon
#

does prot receive shield block CD reduction somehow? 13 sec cd but 8 sec uptime

#

other than shield charge and the last stand talent

tribal wharf
#

haste im pretty sure

#

more haste bigger reduction

slow moon
#

so i'll have gaps until i get a haste threshold?

tribal wharf
#

you don't have gaps unless you play really badly or have really low haste

#

most important thing is hit SS to gen rage to cast sb, facing towards them

cyan bronze
#

haste and shield charge resets

#

and hr if u want

#

idk if anyone’s playing bolster

sudden lynx
slow moon
#

ohhhh

sudden lynx
#

Until you have t4

slow moon
#

thats what i was missing

sudden lynx
#

Then you wont really need any uptime talents (or so ive heard)

tribal wharf
#

hr vs itf is hotly contested, like usual, probably

#

there used to be fights about it here

cyan bronze
#

i don’t think it matters

#

objectively with tier high haste and ok play itf performs better

#

but if hr lets u brain off and perform better because of it then theres an argument

slow moon
#

the math just wasnt mathing for me, but shield charge does narrowly seem to allow full uptime

#

without any extras

#

just starting out so no tiers

cyan bronze
#

it is narrow

#

but that’s all u need

slow moon
#

ye

cyan bronze
#

either way

#

itf or hr

#

prot war is goated

prot warrior would be even more goated if we just started at 25% block chance

with shield block we have 100% block chance

the M+ talent builds that have into the fray instead of heavy repercussions, how much haste do I need to make it work? and I guess they assume that I have 4set for more frequent shield charge to fill the gaps right?

we ran itf last season as well

past cobalt
#

really? I only did a few +5s or something as a tank last season and I always used repercussions. seems like the safter bet if you are bad at tanking

sharp gale
#

Take HR if you learn/start imo

#

Even next patch

chilly brook
#

idk

#

if you never put yourself in positions where you can fail you won't learn

#

it's not like itf is hard to learn

#

it's really just as simple as press shield block

mighty valley
#

if you're learning a dozen other things about the spec/dungeons it's fine to make one autopilot for a bit

#

or if your haste is v low, you can't really win at itf

chilly brook
#

well yeah if your haste sucks obv don't run it

sharp gale
#

I fully agree, but when you start there is more important things you need to learn (as new to tanking etc) on top of Shield block, yes it is easy to manage but not to someone who fail basic rotations etc

chilly brook
#

you still have to press shield block when running HR

mighty valley
#

i dunno how long it's been since you've played HR but it's insanely forgiving lol

#

you can brainlessly mash SB, you can forget for long stretches, and it'll prob still be up 100%

sharp gale
#

And some still manage to not maintain shield block with it

fleet swift
#

if im new to tanking as warrior, do i run the colossus build or thame one? i saw the info and it seems like colossus is better to new players but i played feral and lots of tanks earlier so im not that new to it

#

have not played prot warrior ever

lusty grotto

colossus is not better for new players

#

thane is

but if you played bear you'll enjoy this comparison

oh, i read the faq and mixed them up, sorry

which would you suggest to start out as if you just learn?

colossus demolishes thane in aoe though

as far as output goes

ill see myself out

its to do keys

i just wanna blast dps

thane is easier

more forgiving

start with whatever, you have the facts

play thane if learning

do you have any logs of a good run so i can just see amount of casts per each run?

#

or do i just grab the top mythic gamer for that

wicked pollen
#

maybe check nomeratur

i doubt i have any logs past 10

#

maybe even 6

lmao i autolog

and wonder why i have no space on my HDD to find 60gb of logs

or nah

#

Are there any numbers available for boss execute DPS (ideally compared to other tanks)? Thinking of execute viability for a boss like OAB

wicked pollen
#

if you play full execute you are another dps in raid

#

but you have to be played around by raid

low shadow
#

Is heroic gally shield worth it over a random mythic shield?

sour grove
#

Well ideally to compare in a "normal raid" setting vacuum so I can make a 1-by-1 comparison. But I guess simming would do the trick

lusty grotto
sour grove
#

Was just wondering if the numbers were already available ^^

lusty grotto

its not good for progression

#

youll nerf your prog

#

numbers are always available

2.5 mil aint bad

i also dont think im pulling big

#

was mindlessly doing priory with a friend

lusty grotto
#

well

#

one thing you can fix

lilac widget
lusty grotto
#

is that demolish should in theory be higher or at least closer to SS

lilac widget
#

guys anyone know why im seeing this? i have a spark made

lusty grotto
#

i dont know what that is

#

i dont use that addon

#

but you should have 2 sparks and 1 half

#

so 5 halves in total

#

5 fractures

lilac widget
#

its just the script to see how many you have out of the possible

fleet swift
lilac widget
#

so now im confused, ive cleared normal and done 3 delves

lusty grotto
#

speak with the catalyst guy

lilac widget
#

yeah ima go check him

#

nah nothing at him

lusty grotto
#

you get a fractured spark on weekly completion too

#

i think its delves this week

#

not as a drop

lusty grotto
#

what log is this

lilac widget
#

wait you have to do weekly to get it? i thought it was random drop from any content

lusty grotto
#

oh it does have demolish

#

it is, if youre behind

#

current week = weekly

I've been running BSV because what else do I take since indom is cheeks now

wicked pollen
lusty grotto

this is his breakdown, not what you posted

lilac widget
#

so ive got to do 5 delves, when i need 0 gear from them

#

man thats fuckin rough

lusty grotto
#

or just wait until next week and then get it as a drop

wicked pollen
lusty grotto
#

oh

wicked pollen
#

wat he posted before

lusty grotto
#

yeah it is

#

CPM is there

#

my mistake, i didnt see it

fleet swift
#

im looking at it for bindign reasons

lusty grotto
#

but yeah thats accurate as colossus

lusty grotto
wicked pollen
#

was my demolish damage not high enough compared to ss?

lusty grotto
#

thane does not revenge as much

#

in fact not even close to as much

fleet swift
#

ill just go with colossus

lusty grotto
#

ok, we warned you

#

🙂

wicked pollen
#

you will fall fast

#

press walls and do damage

lusty grotto
#

dont even think about pressing IP as often

#

maintain SB at all times

wicked pollen
#

me when i press ip 3 times in 2 minutes

mighty valley
lilac widget
#

but if i do the 5 delves, then will the other two spark halfs randomly drop? or am i still locked to the 1 this week

lusty grotto
#

youre just starting

#

and you want to be on a high performing level?

#

im confused

fleet swift
#

no

#

i just want to bind it properly lol

lusty grotto
#

i wouldnt recommend skipping first steps

#

but hey who knows, maybe it'll work

wicked pollen
#

i told all the binds no?

this was a thane log

lusty grotto
#

you use all abilities

wicked pollen

lusty grotto
#

oh

#

i guess that works

fleet swift
#

like my iron fur is always on E

#

but i got some long cooldowns on f2 or whatever

wicked pollen
#

you dhould have revenge ss tc sb on easy binds

lusty grotto
#

sb = ironfur (but careful spamming it)

mighty valley
#

IP is pressed a lot and is not on gcd, so you want it somewhere easily reachable while also pressing your core rotationals

neon elk
#

Mousewheel goes brrr

lusty grotto
#

ip = frenzied regen kind of, since it doesnt heal you

fleet swift
#

yeah

#

hmm

lusty grotto
#

you can just bind like your bear if you have equivalents

#

mangle = shield slam

fleet swift
#

yeah

mighty valley
#

i don't think bear has as many offensive cooldowns on-gcd, right

lusty grotto
#

maul/ravage = revenge

#

but you dont use it as much as thane

#

you use it a lot as colossus though

fleet swift
#

bear basically only uses the red claw thing and iron fur for dmg

lusty grotto
#

red claw thing

fleet swift
#

lmao

#

fuck do i know what its called

#

i reached like 2900 on guardian last time

#

i think its rake no?

lusty grotto
#

uhh

mighty valley
#

uhhhh thrash?

lusty grotto
#

2900 what season? DF? lol

#

thrash = tc

#

afaik people dont talent raze anymore

#

that was a DF thing

fleet swift
#

ya

lusty grotto

s2 DF

thrash is the spin thing

lusty grotto

to be specific i guess

#

how long ago were you playing bear?

s2 df

lusty grotto

ive been doing hero talent comparisons

i got it just now

so this season?

im so confused i need my afternoon coffee

next pasture

am i replacing cyrce's circlet actually? or is this a sim trap

fleet swift

lmao

#

im so tired i need to stop talking to different people at the same time

#

i played bear in S1 and start of S2 in TWW, even if i rerolled feral in TWW and only tanked casually

#

i was thinking of mangle and thrash being used as guardian, the one i was thinking that i should not use was maul

lusty grotto

or dev build raidbots

nvm cloak can craft dawn/dusk

so eraly on kinda smart to just make wep and shild with darkmoon on it with 2x as well?

Any new tech... Why are the top pwar's in M+ running both spear and roar?

strong forum

cuz they cant sim

lusty grotto

we cant speak for them

but what Nome is saying is true, if its for dps reasons, they are nerfing themselves

#

we can only assume, they do it for utility reasons or w/e cause honestly i wouldn't know

strong forum
#

i cant come to any logical conclusion cuz:

  • if they want to go for most frequent DPS gains/threat, they should play short roar + tw
  • if they want to go for max dmg, its spear + both upgrades

Chinese players have a whole different environment they live in. Based on other times I've interacted with Chinese gamers, it's rarely even just them specifically doing what westerners aren't doing just to be different. But they probably have a reason; if it's a good reason is a different question

theres no mathematical advantage to playing both, it may only be a simple "but i like it" angle

Hey guys, ive been going through breakdowns of my m+ runs and it seems Ravager is not great on the overall. Are we taking this mostly for the rage regen? I see most warriors using it, but it feels lackluster for me.

strong forum
#

its 4-5% overall dmg and a good amount of burst rage

#

how is that lackluster

smoky anvil
#

It fucks on rage gen and I like leaving it behind me for mobs to run into as I round an LoS spot to keep them interested. It’s a nice button.

Well, Shield charge is doing a lot more, and i could move that talent point into Battering Ram, which would increase it do even more.

Having a fatter hp number is certainly aesethically pleasing, but the rage and dam of ravager is more liable to keep you alive.

How much discrepancy is there with running a 7 and a 10? As in, do you really have to micromanage your shield blocks and kicks anymore than you already do, or is it mostly a dps and kick prio check?

In both u wanna have 100%sb , or at least as close as possible

I'm probably really under explaining it

Main difference is u have both afixes so if u hace only tyra in 7s u "dont need' to worry about kicks that much , but in 10fort they realy hurt usualy . But dw, u dont need perfect mdi plays to time it , ive timed 10s with 20 deaths..
