Man I feel like Arms is kinda weak

#

sadge buff arms

cerulean burrow
#

late to the last stand discussion (although i agree it could be better) lets say you have 15 mill health (going off my own im at like 14.5 or something) and you are at half health, hitting it heals you for 4.5mill which.. isnt nothing but definitely not earth shattering by any means on what is it a 3 min cd

long bronze
#

the lower target cap feels bad sometimes in huge pulls but I've had fun when I get to play it

round pendant
#

Last Stand's best use is for last week's affix

long bronze
#

last stand not being on AM makes it pretty cheeks

jagged gust
#

arms shines in ST, low count aoe, and high count aoe, it's just that sweet zone of 4-5 targets that makes you wish you were fury (Your tank will always pull opposite of the spec you chose)

cerulean burrow
#

yeah i basically use it as a self stabilization button but not an oh shit button like someone pointed out cuz if youre out at that then you got bigger problems

round pendant
#

and in most of the dungeons I just come third

#

there's one or two where I'm #1 tho

lusty grotto
#

whats even wrong with it lmao

round pendant
#

and if you look at dungeon parses (I know) I'm performing around 90% for my spec in those keys but they're at around 60-80

#

yet they're still out dpsing me

lusty grotto
#

i doubt that

In online gaming, "inting" is short for "intentionally feeding," meaning a player deliberately throws the game by playing in a way that benefits the enemy team, such as recklessly charging into enemy territory or repeatedly dying

I feel like I asked that before but still don't remember what it means

@jagged gust will u explain why tome is better st than mt

Why is the heroic throw conversation back

lusty grotto

the most idiotic thing, as if heroic throw actually did anything of relevance

yet you still haven't given a valid reason to keep the throw range

lusty grotto

why havent you posted them

round cliff

almost as if the game wouldn't break if it was removed...

The reason is so that we don’t have to use it as a part of our rotation

why ask about IP uptime?

we were talking about GAG ORDER

who the fuck cares about a range restriction

Especially on arms

#

hello, question for everyone. why is Trashmaster's Mantle considered BiS over something else with crit/haste or other stat distribution for the cloak slot?

urban portal
#

It’s gonna be more on arms

lusty grotto
urban portal
#

I will not be heroic throwing for damage on arms

round cliff
lusty grotto
#

it doesnt hit as hard as glaive, it doesnt have any interaction with any talent

small steeple
#

If this is only about if heroic throw should or should not have a minimum range, I think the better question would be why it even has one in the first place?

lusty grotto
#

putting it in melee range is just an unneeded and unwanted change

round cliff
#

what can you do

round pendant
#

no log so can't help but 113 IPs in 28 minutes is a little low imo

round cliff
#

obviously not unwanted

lusty grotto
#

in the realm of asking things that we actually need, we want heroic throw to have its limitation removed

#

fucking insane

karmic stream
urban bane
#

nimchip doesnt think you count as a human to be clear

round cliff
#

because we have to choose only one thing we want

urban bane
#

because of this take

round cliff

can only ask blizz for one thing ..

Why the fuck is nimchip so angry over this?

We need two stacks on heroic leap

can you both shut the fuck up

Heroic throw hits harder than throw glaive (for vdh)

The rat takes the cheese every time

but nimchip being so pissy keeps me going

#

what can i say

#

Yeah we all want to forget about it

hey i forgot about it

soooo did you miss the part throw glaives bounces???

round cliff
# lusty grotto hes an idiot

"i need to insult someone over the internet because of removing the range restriction on an ability nobody presses"

lusty grotto

which is an integral part

round cliff

he's so smart ...

you missed the point where it bounces

#

on any given time it'll do more damage than heroic throw

round cliff
#

not in st

small steeple
#

Not in single target

lusty grotto
#

who gives a flying fuck about single target lmao

round pendant
#

I mean he's missed the point where you specifically stated it has interactions with talents and that's why it's stronger

round cliff
#

us obvi

lusty grotto
#

does heroic throw cleave??

round cliff
#

it could?

round cliff
#

they could introduce this when they remove the range restriction

lusty grotto
#

well it did, in DF

round pendant
#

that was fun

round cliff

ah but it still had the range restriction then

round pendant

kinda useless but fun

why?

Regardless, yeah both are honestly terrible buttons

Throw Glaive has had modifiers to it affecting its damage for years

lusty grotto

whether its picked or not, is not relevant

#

the question was if there were talents modifying it, is that not a talent modifier?

damn imagine 20 rage on throw

My take away from this is that we can leap away, throw an axe while simultaenously charging to race it back into the mob pack and carry on like it never happened.

when heroic throw gets any modifiers

ill consider the range restriction removal option as something good

i gotta try it today

i love tome i understand why it's better in st

because the more you get hit, the faster you auto swap

yes

in aoe = more hits = swap faster

# lusty grotto have you tried it?

not since the nerf but I did right side before I started doing 10s and I enjoyed it way more. But no one would let me go right in 10+ 🤣

lusty grotto
#

you want sword uptime

round cliff
#

yes i know

#

i was told

lusty grotto
#

you want it to last

round cliff
#

i read

lusty grotto
#

not to auto swap in a short amount of time

#

ok hopefully you connected the dots with the uptime thing

round cliff
#

no i didn't i was told by knifeman

#

:3

lusty grotto
#

ok but i just said it

#

"you want sword uptime"

cerulean burrow
#

im ready for the reading test

round cliff
#

i pull slow because pugs are braindead so i usually am not stuck in armor mode for long

lusty grotto

oh

round cliff

thats y

#

i was confused

half jewel
#

I really want a pacemaker but I got a champ mechano core last week so I am holding on to that until I get a myth one I guess.

round cliff
#

i can see why uptime would be bad if ur pulling harder

jagged gust
long bronze
#

mechano is rediculous

jagged gust
#

for how much we glaze pacemaker

lusty grotto
#

anyway the tome convo was kind of weird because just because tome is "better in ST" does not mean its fucking bad in aoe

#

it just means its better than itself in a different setting, not compared to other trinkets

half jewel
#

I had to swap off of it later in the night cuz healers said taking off scrap trinket made me squishier

I run tome so I can beat dps on boss fights

maybe

what are you wiping on

#

bombs?

#

i doubt its the overlap at this point

#

the soak overlap is stupid tbh

round cliff
half jewel
#

vexie is easier than I thought

lusty grotto
#

dont even know why its a thing

round cliff
#

me and cotank figured out soaks and duds

half jewel
#

We got it to 3% on our 3rd pull

round cliff
#

that's all i care abt

#

for rn

lusty grotto
#

yeah idk vexie feels easier than ulgrox

#

idk why people said otherwise

round cliff
#

we're consistently bursting gally down to 70% and somebody keeps eating glue during the transition to phase 2 after bomb is deposited

#

that's the wipe point rn

lusty grotto
#

i suppose its due to people not doing filling bikes or brain afk

#

oh

#

yeah that's super common

half jewel
#

Yea we had some people trying to soak oil more than once after getting it and then not filling bikes because they wanted to tunnel boss at the end. We wiped to the exhaust.

lusty grotto
#

my biggest peeve is people with oil just panic drop it wherever

#

just. drop. it. behind. her.

round cliff
#

u drop it behind?

#

we're dropping it in mid so bikers go thru it

lusty grotto
#

sure

round cliff
#

we haven't looked up strats tho

lusty grotto
#

both work

so idk if that's right

a

idk tome kinda feels meh to me

#

We did what Liquid showed in their kill and it was super easy. Keep boss in the middle with marks on the sides

round cliff
#

ok

round pendant
#

there I said it

lusty grotto
#

its just people panic drop it wherever except the one place we agreed we would drop it

#

absolutely makes my blood boil

half jewel
#

Another issue we had was people filling up random bikes and a bunch of them being at 1/2 instead of filling up ones already with oil in them to throw at boss

solid sun
#

My raid group wiped for 1.5 hours on heroic sprocket last night and we haven’t started stix prog yet. We are down horrendous

lusty grotto
#

yeah that too

half jewel
#

Looking forward to getting M vexie and hopefully Cauldron down tonight for that sexy vault slot

surreal lodge
#

probably the info is not out. but is it safe to assume we will only get 1 dinars?

lusty grotto
#

ive heard 2

#

but nothing is certain

#

that just comes from the PTR version where it was awarded with renown

surreal lodge
#

just doing workplace downtime theory crafting. i think dinars for pushing high keys

#

bomb suit and maybe eye or house of cards?

#

or both

#

i think shield is maybe overrated

lusty grotto
#

and/or shield depending on what you need

surreal lodge
#

for m+

lusty grotto
#

you could just be unlucky

#

house of cards, bombsuit, kezan and shield are the big ones

surreal lodge
#

assuming u get lucky and get trinket and weps/shields in vault

#

ring isnt too bad too

lusty grotto
#

ah yes jasper

#

so 5 items in total

surreal lodge
#

for m+ specifically. i think bomb and either house or ring

#

if we have 2

lusty grotto
#

im talking about m+ too

#

kezan is fine in it

surreal lodge
#

shit should i farm renown now?

lusty grotto
#

idk why people disregard kezan

surreal lodge
#

i thought it takes too long to stack

#

fuck maybe i shouldnt have grabbed myth tome

lusty grotto
#

its literally the same thing as anvil and cataclysmic signet

#

stop fucking saying that

half jewel
#

Doesn't the stacks decay super hard in M+

lusty grotto
#

theres 0 reason why you wouldnt grab a myth tome

#

holy shit

lusty grotto
#

its like people didnt play DF

surreal lodge
#

i think myth bombsuit is a must later when pushing high keys with the current design where prot may need survivability

Myth tome is very good. Definitely not a waste whatsoever.
That thing does a huge chunk of my damage ---- and the meters don't account for the crit it is granting you

I was a healer for all of DF i did fuck all on my warrior cuz I wanted to try being a dragon. It did not stick, healing is not fun most of the time lmao

#

It's just a different type of problem solving -- dpsing has been fun this season for me. I haven't DPSd since early legion... realistically since Siege of Orgimmar lol

#

prot war remains the most fun for me easily

#

Yea thats why I am back on it, been playing prot warr since end of TBC and was my main from then until DF

wide charm
#

Did dragon and priest healing in DF, shammy last season --- I think I had the most fun healing on a priest. But shammy was fun too, having an interrupt and lust is very nice

#

Ahh I played vengeance all of legion and BFA --- you know, when it was mediocre in raid and good in keys

#

It was kind of fun being like one of only 20-30 VDHs that would get CE in tiers though I'll admit

Pres was fun when the group was good but infuriating otherwise. I mostly pugged/ solo played in DF cuz I was leading a classic guild

Hey guys, long time brewmaster main. Just about to hit 80 on my warrior. I don't have any questions. I just want you all to know that I'm a badass orc, now.

I lied, I do have one question. The guides seem to be pretty loose on gear recommendations, aside from tier and stat priority. Is that right?

rancid tiger
#

Orc u lator im a dragon

lusty grotto

sims are your gearing guide

#

anything else is just something to look at, nothing set in stone

#

except for trinket ranking

#

which you can see under the bis gear section in the wowhead guide

quasi jewel
small steeple
#

The biggest reason to bring pres was its damage in DFS1 but that got nerfed to the ground didn't it?

heady nimbus
#

The biggest reason to bring pres is that you need a healer and any and all of the healers are good for pushing except hpriest and even then.

Tbh the combos to heal gameplay is really fun, but spread healing and 2 t healing is awful

This season tho I am back to liking pres again like I did last season. But that toon will just be an alt I play to get off of the warrior for a little bit each week.

Yeah like me on my rdruid, just to heal chilling in keys

Raid healing as pres was fun with engulf but once it got nerfed spread healing with chrono warden was just me fighting MW Monks for top of the meter

#

someone put a sim-bait warning next to trinkets on bloodmallet plz

also does anyone know how to sim defensive stance vs battle stance? or does anyone know how big % dmg it is?

#

Fights like boobtwister and queen I enjoyed cuz I followed the same pattern as a sort of "dance" each pull and it made the healing nice.

lusty grotto

its something but not massive

we bstance'd in DF cause dstance had the dmg penalty

#

now its so close that its not even worth considering

broken cove
#

oh so i can just go into stat weights and calculate it out actually

pallid quiver
#

Notably, the extra DR is more likely to let you pull bigger, leading to more damage than the crit would

broken cove
#

approx

lusty grotto
#

yeah Luerce has a good point

pallid quiver
#

but if there's no way to actually pull bigger and you don't need the DR, you can slip into battle stance. This mostly means bosses and raid.

lusty grotto
#

but to be fair, we've never let it stop us form pulling bigger

pallid quiver
#

Funny enough, it doesn't mean like most mini-bosses in M+

broken cove
lusty grotto
#

if youre not tanking, by all means

#

something is better than nothing

#

its just not something we're considering anymore on actively tanking scenarios

#

its very minimal

pallid quiver
#

I don't think I spent any time in def stance at all last tier, and I've only been in normal raid this tier once, so I also didn't touch D stance, though I did see some fights where you'd probably just stay in def stance

#

For raid specifically

pallid quiver
#

I'm technically lying because I did go into def stance for ansurek busters, but I just treated it like a CD

round cliff
#

it's not a breakpoint per se

#

but you "need"/want at least 17000ish

lusty grotto
#

i dont think ive swapped out of dstance in TWW

#

at all

pallid quiver
#

I start every single login session swapping out of Def Stance just to make a point

#

i do what i want blizz

round cliff
#

ngl

pallid quiver
#

But I default to battle and swap to defense stance if damage will be coming in notably since it just keeps me thinking about damage intake and where it's coming from.

also is nice for parsing purposes in raid which is the main reason I'd enter raid other than gamba for trinkies

round cliff
#

stay in dstance -> pull bigger -> more dps

pallid quiver
#

DPS adjust; they're the ones who actually get mechanics anyway

half jewel
#

I wanna figure out how I can parse on Cauldron, it feels like unless I am camping in the middle during the clash I prob won't get any real value just hitting one boss.

lusty grotto
#

just like any dps

#

well melee dps

#

hold cds for cleave

#

3rd demo should be up just shortly before the clash

half jewel
#

I try to be a good boy and stand at the back of the one I am swapping to so I can be ready to be in position sooner.

Next week tho bad boy only 😈

parsing is just hoping u get 25% uptime on tier set

yeah true

theres no bad boying involved lol

you dont have to preposition for a minute

I'm not serious lol

I just wanna get in the 90s for every boss, maybe a couple orange

his youtube is Sense Nurfed, I tried looking up just "sense" and I found some weird stuff

theres no skill involved in parses

#

its all about luck

half jewel
#

Then I got real lucky with my 99 on Rik 🤣 . I just tried to line up the boss with the adds and smack them with demolish.

jagged pier
#

ive had a 300k swing from pull to pull

#

because 1 i had like 30% uptime the other i had 9%

chilly brook
jagged pier
#

no idea about dps

#

but at least our parses are mostly luck

pallid quiver
jagged pier
#

i literally cba

#

also one tank on mythic is always doing the job where u cant parse

#

fun

shut summit
#

yep killing boss more important, fuck da parses this tier

half jewel
#

Yea I don't know if I will ever get a good one on Sprocket cuz I always get cucked by void beams and tank bomb

pallid quiver
#

That's part of why I'm not super fond of Mythic parsing, since the mechanics generally means that you're sacrificing someone's experience to try and parse best

#

I am, however, also biased, since I've been five ever guildless and don't raid Mythic

violet ginkgo

wat they are talking about above

sudden death is also a huge factor on parses

Hello guys I’m a classic andy haven’t touched retail in a decade. Do you need /startattack macros on your keybinds to auto target the next mob and start autoing ?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

retail has an option that you should turn on however, i believe it is enabled by default

sick sentinel
#

Oh seriously? Maybe it was disabled for me

lusty grotto
#

hmm

#

i think they removed it? but it should start auto attacking after you press something

#

the only hidden var is to stop attacking

#

make sure this is 0

#
/run SetCVar("stopAutoAttackOnTargetChange", 0)
#

thats it

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
#

if its enabled it stops attacking on target change

#

if its disabled (0) it doesnt stop attacking on target change

sick sentinel
#

Oh ok ty

lusty grotto
#

thats about it

#

it should start meleeing by default

#

without tweaking that cvar

#

i dont know why it shouldn't

sick sentinel
#

So when you have an ability straight form spell book without a macro on it and you press it it should target and start autoing?

lusty grotto
#

with a macro as well

#

unless the macro specifically says to stop attacking

#

have you tested this? i just did and it just auto attacks

sick sentinel
#

Could swear it wasn’t doing it for me so I had to make /startattacks

lusty grotto
#

well it did back in the day

#

just hasnt for the longest time

#

i mean the need for a /startattack thing

sick sentinel
lusty grotto
#

yes

#

it could be restricted to abilities that deal damage

sick sentinel

if we craft weapon, should we use ascension?

lusty grotto

anything amount is fine really, it just dictates whether you play HR or ITF

lusty grotto

you should have enough sparks next week to have dawn/dusk

at least on shield, and/or bracers/belt/boots

glad jacinth

wasted 2 sparks on 2 hand weapon for arms, before my tank friends decided to reroll xD

Damn just crafted with ascension

#

I got a shield in vault so crafted weapon, then got the good shield from a weekly undermine box!

half jewel
#

crafting with asension is still fine

lusty grotto
#

for 1h + shield

lusty grotto
#

cause ascension isnt competitive without writhing

#

theres 0 reason to use ascension at this point

#

it was used early in the season because there was only 1 or 2 sparks

half jewel
#

Yea but thats a future problem that you can fix later in the season its not a dire issue during week 5

glad jacinth

i got shield 665 and weapon 655, my doubt if the 10 ilvls of shield will make more difference than 20 ils on weapon

he really only mentions that my best utility for our group, which is a regular group, is that he doesnt need to heal me, so more healing for others. he has a strong preference for more interrupt and stuns since that prevents significantly more damage that rally cry does. but thats partially due to one of our dps who is allergic to interrupting.

Guys why some tanks pick Thunderlord on colosus?

#

What are pros of this talent?

#

i feel it force to click thunderclap more which i think we dont want to

pallid quiver
#

In most cases, it's because their actively harming themselves. Most logs I've seen that pick it up sacrifice very strong talents for it, ranging from Violent Outburst to Ravager

lusty grotto
#

we have no idea, you should ask one of them

pallid quiver
#

Thunderlord's pretty much non-negotiable for Thane, as would be expected, but it's much less valuable for Colo considering how little you cast TC

and its some outliers

youre not missing anything, but only they can provide an answer

i dont follow

Charge doesn’t start attack

#

Without the macro

lusty grotto

no

#

i meant

#

"charging without having to target"

minor forum
#

in 12+ how much time are we spending in Dstance vs Battle stance

lusty grotto
#

why are you charging then

lusty grotto
sick sentinel
#

I have to click on mobs and then press charge instead of just looking at them and pressing charge and instantly charging

lusty grotto
#

i still dont follow

#

are you action camera'ing or something?

mighty valley
#

are you talking mouseover...?

lusty grotto
#

immediately after a charge youre gonna press an attack

#

so it really doesn't matter if charge (or taunt) doesnt start auto attacks

sick sentinel
#

I don’t care about the auto attack I’m talking about the targeting

#

When you press charge it does nothing if I’m not targeting anything

#

With /startattack it targets as if it was tab

#

And if you’re in range it’ll charge

lusty grotto
#

oh

#

that seems very dangerous to do

#

at least in the content i run

#

but yeah if it works for you, its fine

In dungeons yea but for leveling it’s qol more than anything

yeah i'd guess that's the rationale, more frequent defensives

#

but i'd have to see the numbers on how many more you actually get with colossus

lusty grotto
#

nome did the math a few weeks ago if not a week ago

#

essentially it isnt worth the drop

#

way too big of a hit

sacred patrol
#

Drop indom and your dps won’t suffer it will actually be better because of the damage gain from more frequent use and booming voice

lusty grotto
#

no it wont

#

its a big drop in overall dps

#

like i said Nome did the math a few days ago

mighty valley
#

we're already dropping indom to get all the dps increases at the bottom of the tree

lusty grotto

youre sacrificing ravager and/or battering ram if youre dropping indom for it
