been trying to farm cinder neck for long time on warrior and first run i get it on my ele shaman

lusty grotto
#

thats fine, the nerfs are in the weekly build, lower dps is expected

#

hoursss

is this week our 3rd cata charge or next?

this week is spark

south goblet
#

ahhh kk

bleak breach
#

We’re still g

#

Still top ST tank by a bit of variance and 2nd in aoe to BDK, which we kinda already were outside heavy burst

valid spade
#

i think we need the "really, right in front of my X" meme but the x is the pin 😄

bleak breach
#

Is that sim showing lower dps with swords up more then without for some reason?

lusty grotto
#

seems like it

#

but only nome can answer that

heavy sparrow
#

I am wondering if our Custom API got kicked too. These are pre nerf, post nerf, and APL

lusty grotto
#

hes referring to your sims

#

feels like sim variance

heavy sparrow
#

that's what I;m thinking too

small steeple
#

wdym by custom apl getting kicked out? Also, 100k is large enough that it shouldn't be variance just of the amount of sims ran. Can you get a full html report for these? That shows the variance in there

bleak breach
#

Yeah, it can’t be possible it’s lower because trinket didn’t get nerfed, nor did our auto attack speed.

bleak breach
lusty grotto
#

he cant

#

because report isnt available for a sim of this size

heavy sparrow
#

so 5.7M pre nerf and 5.130 post nerf is aabout 10% damage

#

which is fine I guess

small steeple
#

100k is only 2% of 5m too, well within normal bounds

lusty grotto
#

rerun them

#

see if you get a difference

heavy sparrow
#

I can run them all weekly again or weekly/nightly

lusty grotto
#

dont make item selections

#

so we can see the report

heavy sparrow
#

I feel that nightly tomorrow would have better returns from today's

#

sounds good guys

lusty grotto
#

latest

#

i usually sim latest

#

weekly is fine though

#

just keep in mind changes are pushed at different times

With the nerfs, is thane better?

#

i like bursting more anyway

south goblet
#

mean while im just trying to figure out whioch of the C/D tier trinkets are worth using

ruby musk
#

I dont care what them guides say, colossus has 5% size increase and that's BIS in my books anyday

restive oak
#

just check my vexie log, that one

#

or something similar

south goblet
#

we need a bot that just tells all these doomers its all gunna be okay

restive oak

we should still be ahead in tank dmg, no?

?Disrupting Shout? I mostly play with 2dps/1 healer and a pug dps, I still find the talent a must pick. I just hit 2500 and it just seems like people struggle with interrupts as a whole (could be a lot of overlap of CDs I suspect) Does anyone else pick that talent or am I wrong in picking it on that tier?

cerulean tusk
#

You clearly did not see BDKs

lusty grotto
#

kind of

#

BDKs can probably take #1 now

restive oak
#

i pick it most the time

lusty grotto
#

depending on rng

#

can probably leave us in the dust

i know my dh feels like it has babyhands

So, where are my meters showing us doing good dam?

i only take Dis shout on affix week

Affix week? There are no affixes

its nice on those packs of mobs that just start casting at same time to group

Ok so I got particularly bad vault options except one (Footbomb Championship Ring Myth 1/6 Haste/Mastery) I know mastery is the "worst stat" for prot, but from what I'v read it's on the guides its not that far behind the other stats, and my rings are 1/6 Hero (crit/haste) 2/6 hero (haste/vers/speed) respectively is that ring an upgrade? I can't find any kind of stat weighting for it in terms of survivability.

restive oak
#

its not badge butyoud way prefer crit haste ring

lusty grotto

i love when people surround their items with brackets and parenthesis, like we cant read

thats a sim angle lmao

its proly the cloak tho

south goblet

that vault looks almost as bad as mine did

uncut juniper

trinkets are prolly bigger short term gain tho, but you gonna be looking to replace them, really depends on how you wanna play it

sacred flare

I simed it cloak was up by 15k on single and 6 target didn't know about the trinket

cerulean tusk

Ngl, it stings extra when ppl decline you for a "13 cant deplete" key

Do people ever use Battering Ram in keys and then swap out bloodsurge for instigate --- I'm not really sure on the amt of rage gen
But seems like a good feedback loop of potentially proccing more SSs which is more SC.. etc

jagged pier

u should be playing BR the moment u get 4pc

and bloodsurge is worse rage gen and instigate in general

Yeah, I was kinda leaning towards that as well. The trinkets seemed decent as well, but I suppose the ring would be the most difficult to obtain. Thanks!

#

this nerf fucking sucks

bleak parcel
#

is prot paying world first tax on this 5% nerf

cerulean tusk
#

5%? Sure, lets call that RWF tax

#

Rest of it is "you are a warrior and doing too good for our likeing" tax

#

We had a strongpoint in m+, that is not allowed

last week I had a rookery 10 at 2.3m overall on WCL, this week avg of two 10 rookery is 1.9m overall

#

400k down the shitter

waxen frigate
#

Good sample size

bleak parcel
#

was warrior doing that good that it needed to be looked at before venge dh?

waxen frigate
#

But also pwarr definitely was doing more than vdh

#

And pwarr single target was an outlier

lusty grotto

aldrachi vdh dps is meh

Plus less rng reliant than bdk

ye ic though

cerulean tusk

What is your point Nish?

waxen frigate
bleak parcel
#

anyways tanks should be allowed to have fun (do damage) blizzard bad

waxen frigate
#

Bdk likely now will be the outlier

lusty grotto
#

yeah

waxen frigate

But I’m not John blizzard I don’t control how bad they are at balancing

lusty grotto

seems like it

cerulean tusk

So you take someone elses statement, then pull it over mine. Aight.

waxen frigate
#

?

cerulean tusk
#

Or you gonna tell me in m+, as is the context of the convo, BDK and Pwarr ST isnt on a similar powerlevel?

lusty grotto
#

alright you 2 need to sort it out in a 2h tanking vs bleed support challenge

calm lodge
#

Question: Do I take these gloves and turn them into tier (avoidance bonus)

#

or hero pants and turn them into tier

waxen frigate

The only thing I said to you is that Bdk is good on Stix bunkjunker

cerulean tusk

I would not disagree?

they called me bunkjunker in highschool

its probably gonna be pants

bigger item budget

#

depending on what youre upgrading from

lusty grotto
#

arrow on your head? you got covid

#

it auto passes to closest person

#

dps should not get it twice

#

it jumps 4 times

fallow wind
lusty grotto

so make sure you go next to whoever has the arrow, then pass it to someone, then take it back

cerulean crystal
lofty warren

they cant be closest to whoever has it

its a them issue

if you have it just move away from them as best you can, but you cant really babysit them there

trying to guess the next conspiracy 🙂

Feel like they need to make rallying cry better, give it the boosted treatment when in a group

lusty grotto
#

we can all agree on that

left beacon

like bump it to 30% or 25 at least

cerulean tusk

Not sure how that would help us in any way, but it would be neat

why should they, dmg proc still suck

Thank you for pointing out where the S and the F tier are, appreciate it mate

lofty warren
#

Ur welcome 🙂

#

Ok it sounds like the meta is to sim and not blindly look at tier list for correct choice. It's super important i be fully optimized to deplete +10 dfc

floral bronze
#

correct, but you can also just run a ton of floodgates and priories and get the 2 BiS trinkets

lofty warren
#

I dislike flood gate

lusty grotto
#

trinket tuning only affect direct damage trinkets tbh

so

i dont think they will move up or down

thats some sim variance Will

shell isle
#

was checking r.io for reference towards gearing and i see the top like 3 CN guys using slightly different stat prios between crit/vers/haste assumed it was due to some softcap

no reason to overthink stats

tome and pacemaker are such good trinkets its crazy

my dps in m+ skyrocketed after i got em both

it FEELS like a 20% dps increase compared to my old trinkets, idk how much it actually is. tomes onhit without the crit factored in does like 3.5% of my overall dps in a dungeon and its only 658 atm

is mechano-core sim bait then?

This week in M+ has brought some interesting class tuning and a potential shake up in the M+ meta game. There were also people who got the M+ title that probably shouldn't have, calling into question the integreity of the game.

so not high or nothing

and my shield is 597

dont think it maters

whatever you want

if youre serious about the alt, you can just farm delves or 7s

and you can craft a shield with the free story mode crest

At this point you have higher odds of running into casual players instead of people leveling their alts --- or just alts of casual players --- higher odds they haven't seen the content and... naturally... don't read the dungeon journal

yeah i mean

thats quite alright

except most just go "ARE WE SWAPPING TO THANE?"

and i swear i answered "theres been no change" like 57 times today

no change meaning, if you wanna play thane go for it, but its still less aoe damage

and prob button not worth using..

razdunk's isn't a high tier trinket but it depends on what your other options are

havent simmed but ranked as C on wowhead

the shoulders replace hero..

that's a safe option

anyone got a WA that tracks the tier set buff?

if I currently have ascension on my main hand.. is it better to craft my shield with armor band.. or go for duskweave still?

mighty valley
#

are you planning to replace that weapon

raw parcel
#

Well only one of the trinkets are even usable, Signet. The others are C or below.

fallow fern
#

eventually if i get a mythic.. but not anytime soon since i dont raid mythic

#

unless i get lucky in vault

mighty valley
#

it's not that expensive to recraft your embellishes i guess

fallow fern
#

cause really the ascension was just on there since it was first craft and why not.. but in keys.. i feel like the vers is alot easier to play around vs trying to stay in combat

mighty valley
#

yeah you just either want 2x weave or ascension + band

#

so it depends on your other crafts

#

not that it's a huge deal, embellishes aren't that powerful

fallow fern
#

true

#

and its possible the shield gets replaced by a mythic eventually too

If you’re running ascension may as well get band

See I assumed Eye was BiS as well, but that isn't what sims are showing. Droptimizer shows a 0% increase over Tome/Viscera even at higher ilvl, and sims put Tome/Viscera ahead as well for me.

Does Eye sim strangely or something like that?

sitting in queue all night getting declined for 13-14s when you have all timed 12s really sucks, is it really just a reroll season?

i dunno what to take from vault: i have not crafted anything yet: have so far hero shield...no good weapon..old with ascendence...and old bracer, would you take hero weapon from vault with crit mastery or hero t-helm maybe i should craft weapon+shield? ^^

but i guess "tank shortage" just means "vdh shortage"

and the "utility" aspect of prot pally is not that great in this season, seldom spell bops that are extremely important and WoGs barely heal other people now so outside of 1min sac and your occasional spell bops its just less tanky and does less damage lol

I wonder, when you guys say prot war is the tankiest --- are you comparing your overalls at the end of keys?
I wonder what other tanks see with the whole dmg taken - healing done = X
in the 12+ area, I think I'm usually around 350-400k?
Is it numerically just more tanky or is the damage smoothing of the class just making it feel more beefy than it actually is

#

Prot warrior is the tankiest because no other tank can handle phys damage as well as prot warrior and we’re in a season where white swings ate powerful. There are little scenarios that there is magic damage for us to be worried about but it can planned around and plus spell block is wicked OP

Spell reflect doesn’t negate as much as spell reflect doesn’t block the scythe

You still take damage from it. With spell block you can completely block it or at least 90% it

mighty valley

#

Spell block is extremely useful I love it

slender bison
mighty valley
#

What talent other than spell block are you even taking over there

last pebble
#

Yeah those talents are bad

#

I can see an argument for bolster if you don’t have 4p

#

But other than that there’s no point not to take it

mighty valley
#

Worst of the sb talents by far tbh

last pebble
#

Yeah but it can fill a gap when you have no 4p and low haste

worn coral
#

yeah im running bolster

last pebble
#

Oh yeah don’t do that

#

Spell block is great for tons of tank busters

#

Especially in floodgate when there’s nasty overlaps

#

3/4 of the bosses all have magic tank buster that spell block can block

mighty valley
#

can’t block thunder punch though… smh…

last pebble
#

You can’t? I swear I felt some DR from it but probably placebo

worn coral
#

yeah i guess you get like 2 per boss depending on when you use it, so could be worth

last pebble
#

Yeah you save on shield wall and spell reflect isn’t really a tank buster defensive in my opinion

Question to the community. After the nerf of demolish and shield stammt and the slight buff of mountain thane - will be mountain thane again be more viable agsin ?

ionic fern

Both specs are totally viable.

#

I'm doing keys as both,and am enjoying them.

#

Literally nothing is hindering you.

#

Colossus will still do more damage than MT,but the difference is smaller now,that's about it.

ionic nimbus
#

But both were viable last ID aswell. The state of Colossus did not change that much, the pump is still real

I like the shockwave knock up from Colossus. When in Pugs everyone is throwing their aoe stun within the first globals you still have a functioning mass cc

Lads shield is no brainer here right? Even if i have crafted one already.

Is the cinderbrew Stein ever good? Got it in myth track

vital vale
# pulsar jay i go with tome yes?

tome is pretty fantastic, it does almost 5% of my overall just from the damage proc, not to mention it boosts all other dmg sources due to the crit. and on top of that it even boosts your overall healing via the magic absorb

#

and its very low maintenance to manage.

Haste, crit or chaotic. Depends on your gear

For Crit you want 25% to reach 100% crit chance for shieldslam during tier procc

#

Haste depends on your talents and playstyle

#

There’s no point where say haste is fine. You simply have to ensure your shield block uptime

i play Thane and that are my stats

#

so i gonna concentrate on a bit more crit to obtain 25% right?

When you are able to hold shield block up yes
