Resto druid... say no more. For some reason outside of GOAT resto druids who have played it for a long time, I've yet to have a good one this season

slender bison
#

For some reasons healers in 12s forget to use CDs

toxic pewter
#

but like we recovered and had lust for final boss but one balance druid had saw me go down and basically gave up and did only 1 mil damage against final boss. we missed timing it by 18 seconds

#

i did more damage on final boss

#

than the balance druid

#

like we would of timed it

pallid quiver
#

otherwise your CDs other than tranq do jack diddle shit as resto druid

#

and most healers never think ahead or know how to deal with mechanics, just like most DPS and tanks

since most players don't know how to deal with things

slender bison
#

This is a healer season after all. Expectations are high

#

Tanks are just spank bots

#

DFC Blazikon is such a boring snooze for tanks but healers need to pump big

#

High discrepancies

toxic pewter
#

says I was dying over 30 seconds lol does that mean like my health was not topped for half a minute or how ddo I read this

#

feel like 30 seconds is a long death

topaz kernel
#

Any opnions on what should I choose on vault?

small steeple
topaz kernel
#

Rail Rider's Bisector (Heroic) as Weapon, Reverb Radio (Heroic) and Chromebustible Bomb Suit (Normal) for trinkets

#

Weapon is a safe choice, but I don't know much about this trinket

pallid quiver
#

Myth Tome is bis for any amount of single target work and can still be useful in M+ as a whole, as well. Wep is generally higher prio than ring, since a ring at lower ilvl doesn't impact you as much as long as it's still the right stats

#

Ilvl is very important for weapons since it gives wep damage, which fills into everything else

#

That being said,

#

For Tome, you have to be willing to play around it

#

It's not just send on CD like most trinkets; it requires at least some thought and tracking. If that sounds like too much effort, I'd grab wep

small steeple
#

Also, the odds of getting Myth Tome again is kinda low, and you can always get a different myth weapon/ring or craft em

pallid quiver
#

^^^

long bronze
#

tome takes zero thought what you mean

#

make a weakaura that checks if tome is off cd and you have shield buff, that puts text on screen - "USE TOME TRINKET"

#

done

pallid quiver
long bronze
#

ez

small steeple
pallid quiver
#

And sometimes, if you have enough stacks, it's better to just let it passively go into crit mode

topaz kernel
#

Which trinket I have to pair with tome?

long bronze
#

not taking the BiS ST trinket by like 45k dps because you can't do that, idk

pallid quiver
#

Rather than swap to crit mode, then have it swap before CD comes back

long bronze
#

delete your toon probably

topaz kernel
#

I only tank M+, not raids

pallid quiver
#

Having to track it at all in any way more than "off cd press now" is higher thought that most trinkets that have ever existed

No spell block there is giga troll

The higher keys you the better planning it requires. Gotta learn somehow. No reason to be upset or ashamed to dying there.

#

is mud trinket the play here? already have myth track in the tier slots on here and crafted 675 bracers so feels like a choice between mud and the ring (i'm using champ track relic band and circlet)

long bronze
#

yikes

#

that's a S.A.D. vault if I've ever seen one

#

the ring is really good but hero track

mighty valley
#

i guess ring would be an upgrade for now, could also just take sockets

#

you could take mud if you really want a defensive trinket option but it's no bombsuit

peak iron
#

yeah that's what i'm feeling sadga

Its saying it doesnt look like a weak aura code when trying to import?

pretty sure bloodmallet is trolling because A. it doesn't have Tome APL, and 2, that trinket should be doing 30% less damage for tanks

How great is Hekili for prot out of the box? I feel like it tells me spend a lot of GCDs on IP when things like SS are up.

probably just uninstall that addon

given that IP isn't on the GCD, i think you'd be better off learning without it

there's two items as prot you really don't want to see but chances at tome, myth shield, and myth 1h are worth it

Hear me out though. You stack mastery to the point where you no longer have to press shield block. That rage savings now gives you like, 300 rage per minute (made that up don't @ me). That's 10 extra revenges

You literally wait for the patrol to go left or right and just run through. No sooth or anything needed. You can have healer or one dps imprison, root, any out if combat cc the sharpshooter when it’s in a good spot so you don’t have to wait for them to patrol away.

also a good fact from Happy

that was trolling for sure

idk why i kept the convo tbh

we need to remove talents for warrior we shouldnt have to think about things like that just smash shield and revenge

I'll try some keys out just wanted to check here first cause Dummies were showing me lower dps

lusty grotto

yes choco

seems stupid as fuck to me but ik there were rage changes

it wasnt that good in s1 to begin with, its just worse with colossus

small steeple
lusty grotto
#

sure

#

indom can still be played with thane tbh

I think indom = bad is just due to rage nerfs + no more thane gaming

lusty grotto

yeah

#

also it heals for jack shit

small steeple

yeah, been nerfed patch/xpac after patch/xpac without any compensation. Gone are the days of BFA/SL indom

we didnt run indom in BFA

You need your healing not get eaten by IP and healer to see indom and leech fight over what is left

indom was only good in DF

thats it

i saw a guy running bolster last season

What was on its talent row it competed with? And was it DF, not SL? Man my memory is bad rn lol

I think it was bc shield block issues or huge key pp Mich

Deathstrike, to never cap on RP, or when low hp

But if you have no rp to death strike = dead, so I changed my WA where my rune power bar change color when I’m over 70-80 (it means I have enough to double deathstrike)

I try not to acknowledge SL, you can't make me acknowledge SL, it has gotten to the point I selectively remove the dungeons from memory once I am done with them.
I just don't like the (gameplay) concept of covenants because I don't like having to get 4 chars or get fucked out of my cool ability (I think they changed that in patch .3 but idk (I was also busy during SL))

they brought condemn

you just need to talent massacre

condemn could be used 100-80 too

and it was RED

any forced downtime you needed to save banner for

I miss shadowlands.. was such a solid expansion that got way more hate than it deserved

south zealot

i started the expansion in 9.1.5 and it was fun

but before then it was shit

so i got a lucky experience

toxic pewter
#

nah entire expansion was good imo

its just fashionable to hate it.. I find it awkward actually at this point

lusty grotto

the exact amount of hate that it deserved

toxic pewter

nah

its just fashion

sorry bro

not fashion

i actually unsubbed before any major name

you missed some good times then

lusty grotto

i mean streamers

etc

i aint following a fashion

it was fucking dogshit

toxic pewter
#

Not really though

lusty grotto
#

ok but im the most anti bandwagon person ever

#

to the point where im arguing with redditors onthat stupid thread i linked earlier

#

and I considered it dogshit

#

so yeah maybe there's a few people bandwagoning, there always are, but that doesnt take away the fact it was a fucking terrible expansion that extendd a lot of garbage that WoW had built over the years which was bad

mighty valley

god that reddit thread is infuriating because like....... yeah this player looks like they suck

lusty grotto
#

yea

mighty valley
#

and everyone's using that to jump in with their very wrong opinions lol

lusty grotto
#

exactly how i felt

mighty valley
#

anyway i do understand people who didn't like shadowlands, there were some legit problems

#

patch cadence really slow, probably mostly due to covid

everything about conduits: bad

but i have fond memories of it because covid brought tons of my friends back to the game lol

and nathria was a banger, saving the part of the expansion with the worst meta problems

what loot spec are yall opening your vaults as this tier?

2 secs I'll find the whole thing

lusty grotto

each time you take damage

so in aoe

there's more than one instance of damage happening in parallel (well not really but kind of)

small steeple

So The probablistic weight is aimed at having 1 proc in a minute. regardless of hit rate

#

But

#

as its only 3.5 seconds, and in huge aoe you can get hit 10-20 times a second, it can and often will proc

lusty grotto

lets say you have 1 mob doing 1 white hits on you, vs 5 mobs doing 5 white hits on you, at the same timeframe

#

which one is likely to proc more?

that should answer your question

Because it only checks the last 3.5 seconds for it

an indepth video if you care to watch

World of Warcraft's proc system is not very intuitive in how it works and the exact mechanics are not widely available. That being said, they sometimes create situations where certain types of procs are systematically at a disadvantage relative to others, which can be important to know about for player decision-making. As such, here is a full ex...

I do love that thumbnail.

lusty grotto
idle copper
#

The principle yep but to me that would me it's more than 1ppm

lusty grotto
#

its 1 ppm triggered by damage taken

small steeple
lusty grotto
#

you dont trigger it unless youre taking damage

toxic pewter
#

I got a bomb suit kind of a cool trinket

small steeple
#

but in actuality when you take into account attempted procs, the actual proc rate can be higher

lusty grotto
#

so the amount of times youre taking damage from different sources is directly related to how often it will proc

toxic pewter
#

they should uncap our rage from damage taken get rid of the 1 second icd

#

i want to have giga rage

small steeple
lusty grotto

any trinket, for example, usually has PPM associated to YOU dealing damage, or time in combat

not associated with taking damage, first line in the set bonus

17k for ITF, unless you have 4pc

okay cool will see if i can get logs for a run later, definitely fucked up a lot of stuff in terms of proper gameplay

lusty grotto

which can be lower

4p or no less than 17k haste feels like buttcheeks

peak iron

is IP just not as important for colo? feels like i dont have rage to keep it up all the time with the need to revenge spam

long bronze
#

you don't NEED to revenge spam

#

but if you didn't die you pressed IP enough ig

lusty grotto
#

having it up is fine, just maintain it with revenge

#

see No Stranger to Pain

#

and Brutal Vitality

#

so youre not using it constantly

#

just do damage

long bronze
#

proper use of SW, SR, SB, SB, etc further reduce the importance of having IP up

lusty grotto

just use it the same way you did with Thane, when about to cap rage

toxic pewter
#

What key level u guys think this bomb suit worth it

peak iron
#

okay gotcha just checking as i feel it will become less cozy when i do a higher key this was just a 6 to dick around with the build

lusty grotto

its just way harder to constantly cap as Colossus

#

so those 2 talents go hand in hand with it

#

anyway IP isnt that important

I can't think of many things that justify it personally

sim it

lusty grotto

very likely

toxic pewter

My original warrior was a Troll

peak iron

it was simming weirdly high for me thats why ive been using signet even tho i understood it to be bad

ill check again

lusty grotto

depends on how youre simming

#

timing means everything

#

its a 2min trinket that doesnt fit our cds

#

short sims might favor it if they dont go through full cds rotations

#

etc

long bronze

also if your crit > haste it'll prob have more value

lusty grotto

like a 1 min sim will be better for signet than a 1.5 min sim

not comparing items with 10 boss 20 second sim smh

i only tank for m+ so ive been doing dungeon slice

lusty grotto

dungeon slice not optimized for our APL

When you search info Cornmeal, you always want more context, so if you check bloodmallet, you need to check WHY, WHAT, HOW on those trinkets

both are kinda likely to get candidates, you have a champ weapon though

normal thorn

I’m bouta buy a 3 pack race change. Should I make my Prot War Dwarf or DID?

peak iron
lusty grotto

dwarf is more defensive DID is more offensive, both serve the same purpose, pick whatever you think looks better if youre not pushing, otherwise dwarf

long bronze

i'd get gloves and craft weapon if I didn't get the rik one

normal thorn

Plus champ = hero anyway unless you break into mythic but dont really do that

normal thorn
lusty grotto

yeah idk

long bronze

crafted -> myth isn't that big, and this early in season I always go for crests I know i'm not going to be replacing

if he can clear myth rik, hes also clearing carnage, so he can get gloves there

yeah but

kinda seems like a toss up

he's probably pretty high on list to get rik weapon

is the 1h guaranteed? no DKs?

where gloves is RNG on RNG

wowanalyzer doesn't appear to say anything obviously stupid or misleading but some things are busted, like it's telling me i cast zero shield charges and only half the ravagers which is def untrue

thats true

dk 1h

and you'd probably use rik weapon anyways over that

cuz it's crit/haste unless your stats are otherwise wonky

Hey @strong forum i see on your WA suite you have the IP amount as a number that shows up, but I'm not seeing anywhere that shows the time left on the buff. Is that not particularly important to keep tabs on? 'Cause we can press IP enough through proper rotation to just re-up the timer?

long bronze

it's cool my raid has 1 rogue, 1 monk, 1 war and 1 evoker and yet I've gotten tier in my vault every week basically

Everything plate until stix is in transmog roll next will unless I bring my warrior FingerGuns

sharp gale

Like shield block bar/line which is the uptime of shield block

solid sun

Nah, he has the number appear and iirc it's a different color based on stacks of IP

mighty valley

i never ever thought about ip remaining duration until this patch when it's.......... sometimes a lil relevant

lusty grotto

i dont need it either

lime mantle
lusty grotto

he probably feels the same way

about IP's duration

Yeah I was saying that bc I know the most popular /luxthos the bar is the timer

lusty grotto

yeah

solid sun

Oh yeah nimchip well not everybody is a computer

Some of us are mere mortals

lusty grotto

you still get rage cap moments

so youre still pressing it

thats my point

you shouldnt track 20 million things

#

its not important

because youre not a computer

#

and neither am i

solid sun

I've definitely had a few moments where IP timed out probs because I was hitting way too much revenge. Kinda seemed like a good thing to have around

Like people using raid WA package and not deleting /turning off double, triple or quadruple same info but as bar/icons/circles/tts

ive never felt ive needed it

tbh

I do personnally for later bosses / like sprocket rn

lusty grotto

i mean

maybe for rik

but i can just look at the number

is it up?

then IP is up

sharp gale

Oh I was taking about the raid mech WAs

lusty grotto
#

oh

sharp gale
#

People having christmas tree screen bc they don’t know they are supposed to choose which form they want their info

mighty valley
#

there's a kind of niche scenario where i'm high but not capped on rage, IP has ended up pretty high but is about to expire

#

where i'll press it to extend it and take the risk that i'll miss a SS reset from merely two revenges instead of three or whatever

#

but 99% of the time duration is irrelevant

solid sun

I have that timeline weakaura that makes like a vertical timeline of abilities. It's so nice

It was a side example of 20 trackings but you personnally need just that one in that form

you dont really lose anything on dog if doing it correctly

or abusing the buff, rather

#

Generous tank loot

lusty grotto
#

yeah im not stressing over rings

slender bison
#

And 2 crit/haste shields

I don't think they even know what to do with Vers since 3 expacs

lusty grotto
#

minimal crit vs vers discussions are ☮️

#

should just make it resilience and thats that

#

remove it from pve

#

#

thats the problem

#

not a tank problem, but group problem
