do engineering crafted items count as an embelishment for the 2 limit?

#

thinking about crafting some crit bracers

#

Guys, whats the gap between colosus and mt in st and aoe?

deft oxide
#

I simmed 5t on my guy and it was like 20%

#

St was very close

sour flicker
#

In favour of colosus?

deft oxide
#

Oh ya colossus up in aoe

#

Like in yesterdays raid I got owned by 2nd tank, a blood Dk where last week I owned him by far

#

Dunno why actually

#

Thanks for info nonetheless

Can someone link me the spell reflect WA for this season, if theres one up!
Thank you!

but need logs

#

i showed last night, u can have a 300k swing in dps completely outside your control

because fuck you, your tier set didnt proc

MMMMM gotta love a rng uncontrollable tierset

What happens if I don't kill shaynemail? Is dailcry harder?

jagged pier
#

nope

chilly brook
#

Why wouldn’t you kill shaynemail?

hardy snow
jagged pier
#

u can bait her the other side

#

so u just do 'easier' trash for mob count

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

u can just pull other mobs into mobs

chilly brook
#

If they sucked like the one before the last boss I’d agree

#

But shaynemail is ez

#

if youve hit a boss with logs turned on

#

u have a parse

#

maybe not a good one

#

blizz dont seem to want 1 tank in the raid to get parses anyway

#

your ither a bdk

#

or an off tank doing other jobs

#

because they cant make good interesting tank mechanics

dense remnant
#

i was more thinking of what you meant by not getting a parse if you do the balls

jagged pier
#

well in mythic

#

if your the ball tank

#

u dont touch the boss

#

outside of the first 20s

#

so u arent gunna do any damage

#

so u arent gunna get a parse

dense remnant
#

what are you doing the rest of the time when youre not rolling the ball?

jagged pier
#

u roll a ball

#

wait press like 3 gcds

#

then u have to taunt

#

to take the next ball

dense remnant
#

its only like max 50% of the fight that youre not hitting the boss

jagged pier
#

its more

dense remnant
#

sure its not even close compared to if youre tanking the boss

#

this is my melee dmg from stix

#

doesnt look like less then 50% to me

#

but ye, compared to someone who's hitting boss and adds all the time and not rolling the ball, youre gonna do less dmg

#

but most prot warriors who have killed that on public logs are ball rollers im pretty sure

#

so comparatively you can still parse decently

hardy snow
# jagged pier well in mythic

is there any specific reason for that on mythic, to make 1 tank ball roller (except the consistency), or its fine to tank like on first week on nm/hc?

dense remnant
#

mythic doesnt overlap the tank debuff at all

jagged pier
#

because u need a bdk to grip all the adds

dense remnant
#

and its just easier if you have a dk tank do the boss all the time

jagged pier
#

otherwise u would run 2 bdks

dense remnant
#

plus keeping the same guy who knows what to do with the ball is nice as well

jagged pier
#

well the bombshells once they are broken

hardy snow
#

its gonna be interesting for me and my VDH cotank deadge

dense remnant
#

nah

jagged pier
#

your vdh will be doing the grips

#

have fun on ball

dense remnant
#

ppl just have to have a bit of a brain, shouldnt be THAT different

jagged pier
#

its horrendous and really broing

tall cairn
#

Hey guys, what up.
Considering my current gear, what would you craft?
I have a spark and a gilded enchanted crest available for use.

hardy snow
jagged pier
#

as i now have to wait for ppl to learn it properly

#

and I already have more exposure than everyone else

#

and dont understand how its hard

#

at all

#

because it isnt

#

the fight is garbage

#

unfun

dense remnant
#

ball things are decent, and you can have more control over it and can help your team better on the ball 👍

jagged pier
#

and shit

hardy snow
dense remnant
#

the main shitty thing is if the bomb spawns right next to boss under all the clusterfuck of adds and weakauras

hardy snow
#

I want to play WoW, not Katamari nodders

dense remnant
#

but you can definitely carry quite a bit when doing all the tank rolling

#

much more than if you were just hitting the boss

jagged pier
#

yep same with me i actually want to press buttons

#

not afk

#

but nah stix afk

#

thankyfully we have a druid that afks rik

#

afk sprocket because overlaps with the debuff

dense remnant
#

do you enjoy just doing your basic dps rotation and sitting on the boss? 🤔

jagged pier
#

afk on onearm because u have to move out all the time

#

afk on mugzee so u can run around and drop stacks

#

afk on gally so u can run around and clikc bombs

#

yer fucking nice mechanics bliz

dense remnant
#

what do you classify as "afk"?

#

just being out of melee a bit?

jagged pier
#

if im not pressing buttons

#

im not having fun

dense remnant
#

have you thought of playing dps?

jagged pier
#

actively taking away from the fight isnt fun

dense remnant
#

think you might enjoy that more

jagged pier
#

in my eyes

#

I dont

#

like dps

dense remnant
#

interesting

#

i dont mind not hitting the boss at all, if im doing something productive and helping the raid kill the boss

jagged pier
#

no thats fine one if my favourite tank mechanics of all time is socrather in hfc

#

but you were actually pressing buttons

#

like actively doing somthing else

dense remnant
#

just pressing W to run 100 yards somewhere and then back is boring for sure, but anything ive encountered so far up to p2 on sprocketmonger has been fun

jagged pier
#

rolling on a ball or standing out of range of ppl isnt interesting at all

#

just running around to click a bomb

dense remnant
#

rolling on the ball is VERY active

#

huh

jagged pier
#

isnt interstring

#

rolling was intersting once

#

its not anymore

#

if fucking dogshit

dense remnant
#

i hope you can find some fun in the raid

jagged pier
#

im not pressing buttons or thinking about what i have to do next on the ball

dense remnant
#

cos that sounds stressful and not fun what youre experiencing

jagged pier
#

wiggling my mouse around looking for trash on the ground

#

how is that interesting at all? i dont have to think at all

#

do i have time left ? pick up trash
is bomb in my zone? no pick up trash
u have have 3 second left? hit boss

#

yer really engaging

wicked pollen
#

hi jakey

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

socrathar u had to think about what ability in the robot u used on the portals u had to time the ccs correctly otherwise the mobs broke and got to the boss, all while also hitting the boss as much as u could. it was a great mechanic

jagged pier
#

ive had enough of bad tanks in content when im pugging on other things because they cant be arsed to learn

dusky canopy
#

I whole heartedly dispise the stix fight

#

Right there with you

jagged pier
#

i got told to stop taunting in lfr today, i was doing 1.4mil dps the other tank was doign 140k

#

like what?

#

buddeh

#

press buttons

dense remnant
#

afk in brain hitting boss is boring af

#

rolling the ball at least youre doing something a bit different

urban bane
dense remnant
#

i wouldnt mind if they added a bit more rotational complexity as an option in talents for tanks

urban bane
#

managing the adds and also just suckerpunching the boss

chilly brook
#

Where you hit boss, AND have an active tank mechanic

dense remnant
#

sure, that would be an option

#

but 🤷‍♂️

dense remnant
#

maybe its just cos its my first tier ever tanking that im not finding some of this very boring, but i never had issues doing some mechanics that others thought boring cos it took them away from hitting the boss

tall cairn
#

Any comments <3?

urban bane
#

I would sim myself and craft anything which stuck out :)

tall cairn
#

Oh, im an ass. Had no idea i could do that with the droptimizer

#

thanks!

fiery wren
#

besides trinkets, shields, and one handers, is prot loot spec any different from arms loot spec?

#

is it better to go for a stat weapon like the haste/crit one from rik reverb, or the extra effects weapon like the gold knuckles from mugzee?

If I'm crafting a wep to jumpstart my tank practice is symbiosis a trap

do we know if the void beams are spell blockable

small steeple
#

Sorry to bother you but how exactly do you do this water/oil skip in ML that you talked about?

thin marten
#

does the priory first boss do anything different depending on what general is alive? or is it just the general casting their spells

#

I feel like the tankbuster trucks like 5x harder when you go left for some reason

round cliff

it's dispellable

#

Its more than just that, it just does straight up more damage too

pack 3 there, we combine 1 and 2 then do the skip

#

can u pull that shark in the water for %

#

that'd be epic

#

shark strat

stiff gate
# round cliff where are u pulling extra to compensate?

not sure what the normal pug route is in motherlode, but we do 2 pulls at the start, skip over the wall, do one pull there, then do 2 pulls before first boss. we do one extractor pack with the 4 pack near it, then we skip the 2nd extractor, and then we do 3(?) pulls on the way to 3rd boss and get the rest of the count at the end. the war machines are super efficient, even factoring in you cant pull much with them

round cliff
stiff gate
#

i think we do 3 war machines solo and then the double war machine at the end

#

but u could also just do another pull in the mastermind area instead of one of those probably

round cliff
#

i could totally just construct the route myself

#

ill look into it later

#

can u edit existing routes on keystone.guru

stiff gate
#

personally, with triple melee dps, the extractors are by far the worst pulls, so we opted to skip after the first one because almost anything else (besides peacekeepers) was a better option for us

round cliff
#

yea extractors always suck

small steeple
#

One thing I don't get is why people say that the trash in that section is some of the best in the dungeon for count and ease to kill. Like, pugs always die to extractors

stiff gate
#

if you have a bunch of ranged its probably easy

#

but id still rather just make my healer suffer fighting a war machine than have to manage 2 casters while dodging a million circles with 4 people in melee range

round cliff
#

healers aren't people

#

it's ok to stress em out

#

they like it

dusky canopy
round cliff
#

im straight up about to route that shark in

#

he's in contaminated water. it's humanitarian

sharp gale
#

it dies 100%

stiff gate
#

can also go faster but i think the dps were waiting on me even though we had a good shark patrol

#

if you have a bad shark patrol just taunt it while you're on the plank and tank it for a sec then you can leap to the rock when your friends are across

naive panther
#

I like skipping a lot so lust on first boss. Do two double war machines at end.

stiff gate

lol

stiff gate
#

after the 3rd pull, we backtrack around the left side

#

like most groups do, where u run along the wall and behind the house

round cliff
#

how are u stealthing thru all that

stiff gate
#

not stealthing

#

sec

small steeple
#

So you wait for the mec, but how do you avoid groups 6/5 there and 8/7 exactly? I know 7 can be out ranged by going all the way to the right of the path there, but then the mech is there

stiff gate
#

everything important sees stealth

#

(we do the exact same route without a rogue)

small steeple
#

Oh interesting

#

so like the red line

#

Didn't know 6 could be avoided

stiff gate
#

yeah, u sometimes have to wati for that peacekeeper by group 6 to leave

#

he runs around

#

also a lot of groups dont even do that 3rd pull i have in my route (group 4 in your picture), they just go straight to the peacekeeper after the wall jump

round cliff
#

reminder for myself to go back to this

just depends where u wanna make up your count

yet another shaman rager

c:

they died and we ran it back, i pulled again and the patrol didnt agro, weird

i guess i should have played their characters better

#

asked are you sure after doing the pull

#

thats when he raged with the mdt shit

toxic pewter
#

So many dudes backseat tanking these days. It’s actually out of control

lusty grotto
#

im just gonna rename this route to "Blacklist Dreadtote-Dalaran"

toxic pewter

Happened to me today too, like one pull didn’t go ideally and he started harassing me

he rage quit after healer linked kick meter

Can interv also but that saves like 1 hit

dusty arch
#

you can shockwave, intim, or 40% slow from tc, but everyone should have tons of cc. dps just weren't using it

neon elk
#

It also can help if u drag boss to other side of that "balcony" so they have to run longer way

vestal cove
#

Ooof. That makes me feel better. Not a problem on my DK as I abom limb but my warrior love is making me go again

I did one yesterday where my monk buddy put a RoP perfectly in the middle of the platform

Where it affected no one

@jagged pier you are so right, third night on stix i never was so tilted on a boss since i restarted to play the game, 100 pulls i want it to end, i'm so much in a ball and people still don't understand how it works

It was beautiful

There is tons of stuff u can use there , i kinda like good hunters and their traps there

#

Hi guys, what do u think about thrinket Scrapfield 9001 ?

waxen frigate
#

it's decent but there are better options

#

last I checked (about 2 weeks ago) it doesn't work in sims though

#

it should basically jsut be considered a 30% uptime haste stat stick

#

the absorb is very negligible

gleaming panther
#

Ok i see

#

thanks

#

because i dont know which one equip between :

#

Scrapfield 665, Radio reverb 658 and Mister Lock 665

#

i have ¨Pacemaker in addition

waxen frigate
#

Scrapfield is almost certainly not the play

#

I'd just sim the other 3

#

Reverb is kinda just a superior scrapfield, serves a very similar purpose

#

but afaik has better uptime

lusty grotto
#

scrap is better if you take no damage

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

at least according to Nome

waxen frigate
#

i have done a pretty considerable amount of testing with it

chilly brook
waxen frigate
#

the uptime is basically 30-35% in any given content regardless of damage intake

lusty grotto
chilly brook
#

I have one I suppose I can try it

#

And see what my uptime is

waxen frigate
#

but that was also a post made during PTR

lusty grotto
waxen frigate
vocal pewter
#

is Suspicious Energy Drink sim bait or solid?

chilly brook
waxen frigate
#

yes i agree

#

but it isn't 70%

waxen frigate
#

that just isn't possible given how the trinket works

#

the 20sec period doesnt start until after the 12sec haste buff

#

so maximum possible uptime is like 37%?

#

ish?

waxen frigate
chilly brook
#

That’s the point

waxen frigate
#

that isn't how the trinket works lol

waxen frigate
#

maybe it was on PTR but not on live

chilly brook
#

Idk group wants to do some keys today so worst case scenario I confirm your findings, best case I find out it’s not

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

waxen frigate
#

honestly i just wish it simmed properly

#

i don't know how to submit a PR or whatever to fix it

lusty grotto
#

just needs custom apl or w/e

waxen frigate
#

ignore my name xdd

waxen frigate
lusty grotto
#

interesting

waxen frigate
#

here is a pwarr log from a 13 meadery

#

32% uptime on haste

#

which is very in line with my observations on vdh

waxen frigate
#

flat mainstat nothing else

#

🤷‍♂️

#

APL wouldn't work because all an APL is is an action priority list

#

it just determines how items/abilities are used

#

but if simc doesn't know what the item does, using it is moot

lusty grotto
#

im aware

sonic terrace
#

how should i feel about this dps? good or bad

waxen frigate
#

if you're the mage or shaman you should feel very bad

sonic terrace
#

tank

waxen frigate
#

otherwise pretty decent

neon elk
#

Depends on dung and key lvl

sonic terrace
#

9 FG

neon elk
#

Well u did fine, so did dk for that key

waxen frigate
#

route impacts a lot in floodgate

#

but yea you did fine

#

any key where you're breaking 2mil is solid

#

like you're very much doing your job

#

but can't really say anything more without logs in terms of how well you're actually playing

neon elk
#

Sham and mage could defo be higher , and so should that healer , sub 200k is afking half the time or idk ..

sonic terrace
#

mage was 639 he was DK friend and shammy was rando 662

neon elk
#

Well then mage did rather fine

sonic terrace
#

it was a fun key i just saw 3k i.o dps and was like "lets just pull hard" lol

#

i can fuck around with pulls and stuff

vocal pewter
#

Confused by sims, out of these 3, would do we reccommend? Bomsuit, Energy Drink, Scrapfield

lusty grotto
#

bombsuit will not sim high

#

its primarily a defensive trinket

#

the best defensive trinket actually

#

so sims will not give you any data for that

#

or rather, it will be lower than others

#

since the offensive part is just a nice bonus at best

#

idk what the fuck is energy drink

#

and scroll up for scrapfield talk

#

which results in not simming correctly at all

neon elk
#

Its mastery proc or something iirc from delves

vocal pewter
#

yeah its some mastery proc shit

lusty grotto
#

well mastery procs are good

#

thats why house of cards is good

vocal pewter
#

Scrapfield just feels weird

frozen berry
#

Eye of Kezan seems like sim bait more than anything. It takes 4 minutes to get to full stacks

waxen frigate
vocal pewter
waxen frigate
#

scroll up a bit we just talked about it for a while

#

it's not really

smoky anvil
#

Eye of Kezan has value even if not at max stacks

grim pilot
#

if u want to sim for short encounters then use 2-3min sim

lusty grotto
#

like anvil and cataclysmic signet brand

#

c:

bleak breach
#

Just have to maintain combat or close enough to it, which isn’t difficult.

#

Chain pull, drop combat to let healer drink.
Once healer starts drinking pull, easy enough.

stoic pilot
#

I've got a couple questions since I'm not super versed in Colossus, does execute with execute build completely eclipse revenge as a spender in ST bosses once you get the threshold, just resorting to SS -> TC for rage gen, using revenge only with procs, As well as in general I see the guide says revenge -> thunder clap for colossus, am I just only using TC as a last resort in ST with 0 rage + no SS available?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

do not use revenge with only procs

#

use it when you have rage

#

youre using TC to refresh rend

#

and/or if your SS is on CD and you need the rage to revenge

stoic pilot
#

Okay so it's debuff maintenance for Colossus and a filler of a filler, got it

lusty grotto
#

youre mostly going to be doing SS into Revenge into SS into Revenge

#

you can repeat revenges with procs, and/or if your rage is good

#

same rules apply: never starve, never cap

#

use IP when youre almost to the cap

stoic pilot
#

peepostudy got it, ty nimchip!

lusty grotto
#

revenge pretty much maintains IP

#

with BrV and No Stranger To Pain

#

but keep using it smart as a spender when you cant use a gcd to burn the rage (i.e. revenge)

lusty grotto

bleak breach

Ffs got no mastery or verse so now it’s outweighting even strength per point for extra dps

Might have to change a ring or neck.

harsh trellis
#

On heroic Gallywix. Is there a way to bait the bombs or is there a trick other than after the tank soak. everyone stacks together.

#

like if ranged went and stacked out would it target the furtherst away etc?

bleak breach
#

Think it’s just random

#

Ahh sorry, misread.
Thought you were talking about the duds.
The other bomb is just 2 random players, so tighter you soak the better the odds they are where you want them.

weary vault

anyone else feel like shit in keys now after the changes? Doing 13s and 14s and it just feels awful.

bleak breach

They didn’t nerf survivability, maybe slightly because of brutal vitality I guess.

weary vault

Oh I know that's why I'm confused.

My gear hasn't changed but it feels like my haste is way to low now

lusty grotto

its fort week

weary vault

I'm doing 13-14 keys lmao

This week is worse because the healers are wasting all their mana on the constant dispels too

13-14s will be tough no matter what.
You won’t just dog walk them at our ilvl

What’s your haste at and ilvl?

Also shield ilvl will make a big difference.

you swap battering for BSV, not ravager

limber galleon
#

In pugs and smaller keys, would you then recommend using thunderous roar and ravager at the same time or pace them out pull to pull? People don’t really wait for me to gather they just blast from even before my charge is over.

lusty grotto
#

use troar yea

#

its great for snap threat

#

but its probably better to wait until youve gathered everything for ravager

limber galleon
#

Troar is 360 but how many yards do you know ?

about embellishments im confused, here and on wowhead it says: 2x versa if above 80% hp..but most very good tanks use ascension +the other one which double it..or 2x crit above 80%...what is better now...have to sim it?

shit will hurt less, it will be noticeable

1.27 mil specifically

thats ok damage

use your gilded on shield first, like i mentioned

i opened the weekly dungeon event box on my alt guardian and got the eye of kezan heroic

#

gonna kms

#

it sims as a downgrade wtf

mighty valley
#

what are you simming

lusty grotto
#

eye of kezan needs 5m sims

#

same deal as anvil and cataclysmic signet, from aberrus and amirdrassil

#

@undone beacon

undone beacon
#

Yeah I simmed it at 5 mins and it still showed worse than the Turbo Drain delve trinket

#

I’d have to go back downstairs to my pc to fuck with it, I’m gonna just use it cuz like I got it and my guild will hate me otherwise

#

Wild thing to pull on a fuckin alt

lusty grotto
#

a lot of sim baits this season lmao

#

especially from delves holy

#

well i suppose that one isnt really sim bait, its 4ppm hastened

#

no im curious

formal elbow
#

i got that gally trinket on my mage too, its only good at very long fights kinda 7min or so..so kinda dead for hero raid ^^ and THAT good delve trinket =candle my mage never gets..sigh

undone beacon
#

hmmm

#

Worth noting it’s on a Guardian Druid, don’t know if the mastery on it skews things

#

Let me go downstairs and run it again I’m curious

lusty grotto
#

welp

#

bears be bears

undone beacon
#

sigh

#

of course I get eye on the one char I have that doesnt even fuckin want it lol

lusty grotto
#

are you using ST talents

undone beacon
#

Slightly modified but yeah

lusty grotto
#

well yeah idk

undone beacon
#

Mastery is largely a bunk stat for bear so I guess having a mastery stick that has to ramp mainstat just doesnt cut it over straight mainstat and dmg proc

#

Makes sense, just feels bad

lusty grotto
#

its even bigger on a 5 target 5 min sim

#

for me at least

undone beacon
#

Yeah I'm running a 5 target sim rn

lusty grotto
#

not that its that realistic but yea

undone beacon
#

Might be worth dragging into keys where I can play more aggro

#

Bear chain pulling is super fun, moonfire everywhere

lusty grotto
#

maybe there's some nature dmg modifiers? or versa factoring in?

#

talents shouldnt affect trinket damage but maybe a weird interaction

#

versa definitively does though

undone beacon
#

Maybe? Moon Bear cares more about arcane damage though but who knows

#

I'm sure it'll be better on my feral off spec or something

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

kind of arcane all the way even with dotc

undone beacon

Hey im pretty new to prot and tanking. Any tips for the initial rotation for gathering and getting aggro / threat when you have trigger happy dps? Like in the first room of cinderbrew for instance. I'm learning in colossus atm but happy to switch if thane is better

troar and tclap with big clap

languid sorrel
#

yo guys, how are you guys dealing with big momma on high keys? for me she's the hardest boss on this season, how do u guys feel about her?

lusty grotto
#

spell block

#

if spell block on cd, wall

#

the dot isnt spell blockable though so have care

#

for both momma and last boss

round cliff
#

what does spell block even do exactly
"you can block spells" ok whats a spell

#

fireballs obvi

lusty grotto
#

but for momma the biggest danger is the initial hit (the part thats spell blockable)

#

gigazap you just cant spell block anything lol

#

anyway always check the sheet in the pins to plan your cds

round cliff
#

oh so i should be pressing spell block a lottttt more

#

damn

lusty grotto
#

fruiter youre not new

#

i was telling Doritos, not you

#

i expect more from you

round cliff
#

im ngl ive literally never pressed spell block outside of the kobold mages in dfc

lusty grotto
#

ever?

#

not once in DF?

#

now im concerned

round cliff
#

i genuinely dont remember pressing spell block in df

#

but i also didnt play prot in df

#

i played fury

#

so looking @ this spreadsheet it just looks like any directed tank hit w/ a partial/full magic portion can be spell blocked... damn..

#

ive just been using the magic dr from spell reflect

lusty grotto
#

as you should

#

its a free extra DR

round cliff
#

well ive been using ONLY it i mean

#

im aware now u should stack em

lusty grotto
#

thats fine

#

yeah kind of

round cliff
#

or rather, alternate em

#

depends on the situation

lusty grotto
#

spell block can be stronger than wall at times

#

so sometimes SR isnt even needed

#

and just best paired with wall

#

or depending on how frequent the hits are, though i cant think of a lot of scenarios

languid sorrel
# lusty grotto spell block

yeah, but even using that its still hurts A TON, but yeah, spellblock def helps a lot. I guess sometimes its about the healing and not me maybe. It's a boss that I can barely press revenge, I need to use pretty much all my rage on IP

round cliff
#

you can spell block group wide magic damage too?

#

damn wtf.

#

i feel like my third eye was just opened

prisma pelican
#

just looked at the spreadsheet and damn i should be pressing spell block way more often too

languid sorrel
lusty grotto
#

its pretty massive, its why we arent hurting from magic since DF

#

sometimes you can crit spell block for 100% amounts

#

its not capped like normal block

#

very RNG but it happens

languid sorrel
#

do you guys have routes from high PSF to share? Want to see what prot warriors are doing

#

PSF for me is by far the hardest dungeon... 1st pull is hard, 1st boss is nightmare

round cliff
#

from what im seein

#

if it does magic damage, theres a high chance that i can just spell block it

prisma pelican
languid sorrel
#

btw, another question, do you guys prefer to run Instigate or Bloodsurge?
edit: when not running Baterring ram

lusty grotto
round cliff
#

i cant be peeping at it between every pull

lusty grotto
#

every season theyve been adding more and more to the spell block list, in s1 of DF there were some spells but theyve made it pretty widespread now

#

when it was initially put in game

#

we could solo tank Sarkareth with it cause his bomb's ticks were spell blockable

#

the only thing that remains inconsistents is just that

languid sorrel
# round cliff i cant be peeping at it between every pull

what I did to start remembering the spells was before the dungeons, I checked which pulls hurted hard and which spells, then I checked the sheet to see if it was, so I was like "ok, I now I need to press on this pull" and started memorizing

lusty grotto
#

some dots are, some dots arent spell blockable

languid sorrel
#

I don't know all the spells that are blockable, but I know which pulls I need to press

round cliff
lusty grotto
#

yeah idk you learn it pretty fast

round cliff
#

so my pressure to learn was small

lusty grotto
#

repeated exposure

#

etc

#

makes it easy to memorize which is what

#

and how to outplay it

prisma pelican
#

is it safe to say that every cinderbrew packs have blockable spells anyways. and the spell block duration is so long you can prob just send it on cd

languid sorrel
round cliff
#

in my case the thing that shredded me in cinderbrew isnt blockable anyways

#

the bee venom

lusty grotto
#

uhh

languid sorrel
lusty grotto
#

dispel? dwarf?

languid sorrel
round cliff
lusty grotto
#

who the fuck are you doing keys with that dont dispel on a 11

#

i mean 11 isnt exactly high, but at that point they should know

round cliff
#

no they do dispel

languid sorrel
lusty grotto
#

well theres 2

round cliff
#

they just play with my emotions and make me think they arent going to dispel

#

and then i panic and los them because im bad

lusty grotto
#

big guy aoe isnt dispellable

#

and its purple

#

so yeah

languid sorrel
lusty grotto
#

i know you were

#

but maybe he didnt

#

thats my point

languid sorrel
#

yeah, he said that it wasnt showing to him as dispellable on his UI, so I told him to test dispelling and it worked, so he was like "oh I didnt knew" but it all worked out in the end

ebon talon
#

Does indomitable use rage for the health regen?

#

like does it spend rage?

lusty grotto
#

not by itself

#

but regardless its incredibly nerfed from DF so we are opting to not use it, the healing it does is very minimal and not required

#

anyway its every rage YOU spend

slender bison
#

What's the general feel on Intervene? Does it need a buff? So far I've been using it in DFC at first boss when the adds fixate or as 3rd charge to run away from swirlies

round cliff
#

worthless

#

i dont take

slender bison
#

And in niche places like priory shooters or ToP crossbow skellies, but it seems limited

lusty grotto
#

its useful for those cases yes

prisma pelican
#

If only it could intercept magic dmg as well but yeah its pretty rare someone else in party takes phys dmg

lusty grotto
#

any physical damage thats targetted on group members is a use case

#

otherwise use the talent point elsewhere

slender bison
#

The magic shield is like 500k, which is kinda worthless

prisma pelican
#

just good to charge on an ally to get out of bad stuff on the ground xD

lusty grotto
#

magic shield is free though

#

and scales with armor

so its not 500k, that was s1 numbers

Is Capo's Molten Fist any good for prot?

lusty grotto
#

youre optimizing the wrong thing

#

no

#

better on dps classes

#

the increase in dps for us is so little that secondaries have way more value

#

compared with a similar ilvl weapon (see: Rik's 1h)

#

or any of the 11 billion 1h from M+

#

Gotcha, was only wondering cuz it dropped and I wasn't sure to roll or not

if nobody wants it, sure

else pass

slender bison
#

Should you execute or revenge under 20% single targets on Collosus builds?

lusty grotto
#

execute

#

execute the prio target

#

if way too many targets alive, consider just revenge

jagged gust
#

well, it's a little fuzzy

lusty grotto
#

3-4 is the number

#

more than 3 targets you just revenge

#

less than you just execute

#

but also its very good priority target damage so entirely up to you

slender bison
#

Got it. Asking more like boss situations to max ST dmg

lusty grotto
#

sometimes i just send it cause i want priority targets to die to stop damage etc

#

on ST, def

jagged gust
#

I find you have to weave in revenges over execute when you're in that 20-40 rage range, otherwise I burn out when SS resets are unlucky

lusty grotto
#

youll often get a free proc

#

its useful to fish SS resets

#

if TC is on cd that is
