Thats it. He convinced me. I'm macroing all my abilities together. Going to make my shield wall, last stand, spell reflect macro right now so i can tank some keys
you're missing out on potential SS resets from Revenge
Wait no more
Revenge is less rage and can refund half of the rage when playing colossus
/cast Charge
/cast Avatar
/cast Pummel
/cast Taunt
/cast Last Stand
/cast Shield Wall
/castsequence reset=alt Shield Slam, Revenge, Thunder Clap, Ignore Pain, Shield Block, Demoralizing Shout, Shockwave
Dude that a sick macro it should be pinned for all warriors to use
Ctrl c + ctrl v
(if you have a SS reset, you press alt)
if you need Shield block you have to SS, Revenge,TC,IP and then it will give you SB
Is that the great almighty RURSTOMP ONE TANK MACRO?
shockwave is to reduce demo shout CD (it is a thane 1 button build)
will still kick more than the puggers
i got some insanity macros
/cast [@focus,exists,nodead,harm] Pummel
/stopmacro [@focus,exists,nodead,harm]
/focus target
/cleartarget
/targetenemy
/cast Pummel
/target focus
/clearfocus
/startattack
the famous random kick macro
can you explain the joke? i didn't get it
They're implying you'd like this macro because you macro'd two abilities together
sorry if it was not funny , my social skills are very bad
yeah, asking people to explain the joke (or irl to repeat themselves) almost always works when the joke they made is bad 🙂
HA! plot twist: one of my two abilities macro was actually from gasp wowhead's prot warrior guide!
Another PLOT TWIST: Gasp is RURSTOMP
now that one's just bad
u just wanna promote your guidep
i just naturally assumed all 2-ability macros are god's gift to warriors, but have since learned the error of my ways and am working to correct my ways
If wowhead told you to jump off a bridge would you do it
-100 aura
if they said i'd get 2% dps out of it you betcha
Anyway
- x - = + ?????
IM FUCKING SHACKING IM NOT ALLOWED TO OPEN IT
I'm just a no-training-wheels kind of guy
I think crutches are bad
If you want to learn something, take the time and effort to learn it properly
no it's my gnome on yam picture
hope you'll apply that IRL too if you ever break your leg
just ignore pain and learn how to use your leg again properly, without crutches
Ignoring pain is what we do
I mean it does apply to breaking your leg in some ways
Wishing someone irl is not cool bruv
But it's a bit of a different scenario innit?

I think authorities have to do something
at least hospital is free in your country if you break your legs right ?
People don't want to do rehab because it hurts but it ends up setting them back and making their recovery longer or they even end up with long term issues
Now that's a good joke
it's a crutch in both situations, and it, you know, shows what the point and purpose of crutches is. in both situations. they help you get back on your feet faster. like BSV.
crutches can be necessary to even move for some people
and due to an actual physical injury/ailment?
I was gonna be toxic sorry
good on you for catching yourself
i'm trying to catch myself before i wreck myself by not casting SB manually when i should be
look at us, learning and growing (maybe)

Personal growth feelsgoodman
but for reals just have WA honk a horn at you when your SB is like <4s
I prefer human barks sound for my WAs
excuse me?
arf
It does stutter you so you perfectly know why it made that sound
you need jesus
just kinda sucks how you can't increase the volume of WA sounds higher than the channel they're on
I have my game on like 5% volume
can barely hear the suppressed gunshot sound I use for my tclap falling off
I have on master (I decreased the suboptions)
try the sawed off shotgun sound? i hear they're loud
when it fell off might be 2s too late tho
do you have any logs
you just throw the file in the WA sound fold
I wanted to look at your CPM
Most pwar issues come from just not pressing buttons enough
mostly SS
yeah because it feels off dropping SB with HR
yes, it's a side effect of being new to the class and the spec and tanking and positioning as tank.
Yeah but now you know the solution (press buttons more)
you don't need to defend yourself
if you have questions on positions / gathering
so many
there are general things i follow (like death ball point / end gathering is on a caster)
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1pfw8vqxXDY7h4rF?fight=3&type=summary
is the only 10 log i have, i think
you end on the pack with the MOST casters if you have more
it wasn't my log and the person who was logging is german
idk what Thane is like this season as I haven't played it
That damage is low
super chill
okay. is it low for someone who has not played warrior since he was doing stupid shit as a level 38 fury warrior in vanilla until exactly 1 week ago?
But idk if that’s because you pulled small the whole time, are thane, or weren’t pressing buttons as I gleaned from barely reading earlier
or ^
Yeah your CPM is low for thane
same gameplay as last season, but damage L yeah
I get ~70 CPM as colossus and I assume thane is higher than that
my first 10, first week was as thane, and i discovered it didn't tank more than colossus 
remove the part they wipe
where do you see overall CPM?
bump gone wrong i guess on the first part
still 60CPM
Casts tab
60 CPM to your 70 when i'm brand spanking new sounds.. fine? not good, but fine
i'm very happy with being mid right now, given my level of experience
Sure it's good enough as shown by the fact you timed the key
Your blocked hits is fine too
But you can get more dam and more survivability by just focusing on pressing SS more
yeah if you have no dead gcd as thane (around 55-60) it's just more IP dumping
hence the SB/SS macro instead of SB
Idk how to say this without possibly coming across as a bit of an ass, but if you’re just gonna keep mentioning things are fine because you’re new and you’re happy being mid idk why you’re linking logs
well he linked cause I asked
^
I may feel differently about this after I consume coffee
he wanted to see my SB CPM or CPM
Just say nah I’m good
you do waste rage a lot
two people literally just told you why i linked the log, wtf
because he asked it and he was curious about my CPM and i'm fine with him being curious about it and wanted to see what it was/what it means for me as a player
best go get that coffee
i mostly exist in two states, capped on rage or not enough for a SB and I (borderline) die
I'm going to tweak my rage bar more to try and prevent that from happening
Also since you were thane, you pressed revenge too much methinks
what else am i supposed to use rage on if i'm capped on IP?
You don't care about IP cap
IP
executes and?
no I mean when my IP shield is at 80-90% of max possible strength and duration is like 8s
IP dump is whatever the amount of IP you have
Never EVER refuse to press IP because it's capped/near cap
even as COlossus
okay, can do. why though?
because anger management
and you can't spender anywhere else
since your gcds are mostly builders as thane
revenge. but yeah, that makes sense.
Revenge is a wet noodle as thane, you wanna spend rage (which thane has a lot of) to get your CDR
i did feel like my AM procs were suspiciously low, that is probably why
nop bc revenge prevents you from pressing SS and TC (which is more important as thane)
but revenge becomes a dry bronze die cast noodle when it gets you a SS reset into TCs
And you just revenge as a last resort to hopefully get a SS reset
Yeah but you'll never press it over tclap as thane
yeah as thane you want to revenge only you are gcd locked but can revenge (it's the filler as thane, TC is the filler as colossus)
Also another minor thing, don't spend Violent Outburst on tclap
You wanna spend it on Shield Slam
TBlast is acceptable I think I don't really remember
on big aoe
i am not tracking that at all, but probably should
i think 8 targets is TC violent outburst, i don't remember
ye sounds right
i was just ignoring it/thinking of it as a bonus
yeah it is really minor
is that correct tho?
I don't agree that it's minor
don't think about it now especially as thane (but it will be important as colossus)
isn't the primary dumpspender revenge in colossus, unless you need IP?
Spending it on tclap is really bad imo
I got a lot more overall dps when I started using it "properly"
revenge is not a dumping button
dumping meaning you need to consume rage bc you will overcap
You IP to prevent overcapping and then it's just SS > Revenge > TClap
so above 80 rage with 90% IP absorb strength and 10s remaining duration as colossus i should still send IP over revenge?
and the most efficient way to dump rage (when you are above 70-80) is IP
oy vey. is the +30 rage talent a no-go?
This isn’t true actually
+30 rage cap doesn't add anything just you start higher dumping rage
yes i know at certain tagets number you just spazm revenge
When you press revenge you dump on them mobs big time
it makes it easier to keep range undercapped and above 30 for a SB
coem on guys, can i not have a SINGLE fucking crutch 😦
that was thane
yes it is usually the timing when rage is at 20-30, people don't think about revenge is still the button to press if no SS
Too many IP presses, not enough Revenge presses, not enough SS presses
And then you’re rage starved and sad
and dead and made 4 other people sad
Classic warrior maneuver
im just sad i don't have a log for that colossus cinderbrew
on that topic, do you have anything that always automatically logs?
Loggerhead
mrt, loggerhead theres probably more
Make sure advanced combat logging is enabled in your network settings in-game or the logs are useless
just enable it for all mythic dungeons under party?
yeah it is, i just didn't have any auto logging enabled
It can ask you when you enter an instance if you wanna log it
then it'll remember that
I ripped it out of nomeratur's pack
ty
yeah my brain just autocorrected it
two wrongs DO make a right
Anybody attempted pulling 2 void rock mobs in Rookery last platform? Let's say 10 key
my WA pack is so good
i don't see the problem if people focus one down and keep the other one above 50% until the first one is dead
Trying to hyper optimise, not sure yet if healer can manage if we de sync the aoe
Yeah, exactly
Same as Grim Batol duo flame casters
i don't think it would be easy to reliably desync it, just prio 1 and when it's at a few % switch
but that would only work in the last 2 packs basically, and then you have a caster too
The problem is that there is other trash that can snipe clothies
and then that's probably higher prio and cleave damage might bring both below 50% before you're ready
what the leapers? they do like very mid damage on a 10, 15% of my monk's health bar
Leap + Void lady ball
i would absolutely focus the caster first, because dodging orbs while the void zones are up is unfun
Yeah, kinda messy pull
but then depending on how much cleave you have you might not be able to get away with having 2 big guys up
why are you hyper optimizing this on a 10 tho?
Can't do it in PUG unless we're like 6 min in and boss needs at least 4-5 min
the timer for a 10 is very generous there imo
Farming crests
And maybe make this decision when I feel the group is right in higher keys
boss should go down in about 3 mins tho, in my experience. i can check my logs but 3 to 3 and a bit mins feels about right, he should definitely die during 3rd vuln phase at the latest
But it's way too dangerous. A wipe here bricks the key
What about triple pack at 1st boss?
i mean technically you could pull first void guy and 2nd into the pack between them. but then you also have a caster and need to backtrack for first caster pack
Seems too much overlap with the bird aoe
i think those have an icd, let me check
apparently not
triple pulls there are fine, like 2 or 4
only the slightly bigger icon birds have the aoe
Nice. But need confidence based on 1st quartermaster pull
what i really hate is pulling the 3 casters from 5 into anything else because it becomes too many interrupts and just those 3 are bad enough
i do first pack (with pack to the right) with lust and CDs into JUST pull 5 in the screenshot above to get that out of the way and get CDs back, then go to 2, then 3, then 4
2 can be segued into 3 easily, or you can grab 3 with the patrol that's part of 4 in the screenshot if they're heading that way
I actually do bottom half of 4 with 5 and disruption shout
They die fast unless bad luck sniping the same target
i've had way too many pugs without a balance druid that wiped on any pack + those 3 casters
because pugs don't reliably interrupt, or they overlap, or they use an aoe stop as someone or multiple someones are kicking
Oh wasn't considering lust since I prefer to have 1st pull to have ready at x2 big guys hall
and one person dying is almost a guaranteed wipe, because you lose 1 interrupt and it snowballs
Yeah
i lust the first pull of the dungeon, orb guy + 3 guys to the right
Yeah
The most time sink here since to be this platform and the void rock mobs down stairs
if your comp has very high prio damage and low-ish natural cleave you can try that last pull with 2 void and caster
or you could do the parasol skip since it's available in trading post right now
Thank you to @kovuferal for the parasol footage!

Just to be clear - today I do the 2 void caster dwarves together. Then the last 2 rock mobs remain, which I'm curious if I can stack
i meant the last 2 pulls in the dungeon, to the left of the boss
you can't pull that last void caster separately, can you?
I pull the little mobs to the void caster on the right and then pull the void caster in the center area with the void rock pack in the corner
Leaves one pack left with both a void rock and void caster
I tried doing the two void rock packs that are next to each other on a 12 I think it was and we had a few deaths but we pulled it off
The outlaw rogue told me not to do it again
Yeah, you're doing 2nd to last rock void with the mid void caster. I'm doing both void casters. Did you pull 1st void rock with the other right void dwarf?
Lmao too much void in these comments
Now I wanna try it since I see all these 675/678 geared guys
Heal will need therapy
but you have 2 void casters then
the one right in front of the boss and the one to the right before the boss
but i still think 2 void casters + big rock hurt less than 2 big rocks + void caster
because your melee can hide under the void caster that is doing bouncy balls
Rock pack - two void casters - rock pack - rock/void caster
Yes, this makes sense. One rock with two void casters. The initial ones
yeah so technically you can just pull both void casters from range into the first rock, but again, you would need to make sure that you don't get the rock down to 50% before void casters are dead
i don't know how 2 void casters' heal absorbs overlap, but 2 sets of orbs while dodging the purple void zones sounds like a wipe to me
Last two packs are two rocks + a caster which is insane. Forgot about it's heal absorb cast
depends on your healer and dps. if you have a pally with wings and house of cards, and you can burst one or both of them fast enough, you can probably do 2 rocks + void caster if 2 void zone casts overlapping don't one-shot anyone
The two casters plus all those small ones into a rock will raise the rock’s stacks pretty high yeah?
You’d probably have to delay it
Small ones not in last two packs. Only like 5 guys
Yeah but didn’t you say the two casters into the rock? They also have an additional small baby dwarf pack between them and all the other associated mobs
i know that the rock guys have increased damage on the void zone ability based on how many of their buddies are present/died, but idk what range it has
if it has a max range, maybe you could kill everything else and then pull those 2 back to where mid caster was?
It's easier to kill small ones, casters and avoid rock mob to 50% since it's Unleash spell does dmg based on dead small ones
Ok, I'll try this later
oh nvm it just continuously bfufs itself with this
you can't just kill all the other mobs first so it doesn't get the buff because it can cast it immediately on pull and get the (permanent) buff
how does the DR for stuns etc work, on my lock i just do it as i please
or it does damage based on infinite duration stacks of that buff which it can cast at any time, i think
Yes but it's the 50% hp spell that giga kills you. That needs to be 20 sec after everyone's dead
To deplete the stacks
the 2% damage buff doesn't have a duration though, how does "20 secs after" help you?
So uh what are you guys theorycrafting this mornin
rookery 10 apparently
what is up with rookery 10?
i don't think they ever deplete
also that is a useless skip, scrolling up there
Guys i need help on picking my weekly upgrade. I think i got fugged really bad again. So i am wearing a improvised seaforium peacemaker champ 8/8 and a scrapfield hero 6/6. And my weekly vault is this: https://gyazo.com/e7c31509f58821cb169dbf02c15f8bbb
I ran a sim and it told me the Viscera of Coalesced Hatred is best with the imrpovised seaforium. It is also a C -tier trinket compared to the remnant of darkness. What do i do?
those are myth btw
viscera
agree, i think doing the 2 extra packs (on your right) after you drop down from first boss and using parasol skip is faster and safer
it feels so poop outside execute phases though
My rookery pull hasnt changed 2-12
Its better than remnant of darkness? Wowhead tells me that it is C tier
I dont use any of those things
im just going over whatever the hell https://bloodmallet.com/chart/warrior/protection/trinkets/castingpatchwerk
says
well, clusterhead wants to change his pull to optimize it further for farming crests ig
isn't that a personal sim that doesn't really apply to others tho?
I dont know, I dont care, I just go by whatever line is larger. and personally I dont use any of those trinkets. I just stick with the tome and pacemaker
The question was asking between 2 trinkets
this is correct
yes but it's still consistent ass
so you want to go with whatever youre gonna get more dmg out of there since theres nothing else in your vault
^
i would honest to god grab remnant and hope for a tuning pass just because viscera sucks so much ass
boom
thats it
SO Back to rookery
doing a 10. theres nothing fancy that needs to be done
In pugs. especially I would avoid fancy skips
don't think he's doing a pug, and it's not about timing it, but making it more efficient
i don't think the skip he's considering does that
what will you do with me now that you have me?
wut
who needs the rookery route?
i know
i just.. don't want to. especially psf. floodgate i like
Damn took a break from the game and just saw the Prot warrior nerfs 😦
but i will have to
because it's bad
no nerfs
just go in and hit shit
what nerfs?
I took a 2 month break maybe to update* So the march nerfs
its fine
go colossus
and have fun
can't even get a fucking funhouse lens from delves
Will do
you can't chain run it for a (hero) funhouse lens
one shot a week or vault
i've shot my shot this week and got papa's prized putter
@slender bison https://keystone.guru/V8dqhgS
There is only 1 single pull in this route, its the #2 with 3 casters because in a pug, you don't know who will kick.Hero the first pack so its up for the dwarf boss and then will be up at last boss. The first pack after the Dwarf boss. Just focus the caster, once the caster is dead, just jump down as the 2 other mobs will snap to you on the grou...
I added notes.
all the ! have notes on chaining pulls. The point is to keep chaning pulls into each other to save time
idk if i would do 2x voidriders
on lower keys
depends if healers can maintain healing up
its not a complicated dungeon, you can do 4 pulls there without having a double voidrider pull
an absolutely 0 reason to do parasol skip
Rookery very lenient on the timer
very interesting notes, thank you for that
if youre worried about caster packs in 1st boss room, you can pull them by themselves
because they're rushing is the only reason, yeah
but it literally saves like 15 seconds?
i think you can also combine 18+19 so long as people focus and void ascendent ive never really had issue with it
seems like a best practice with the added benefit of letting you get CDs back up for either double patrol or patrol + 2 packs or double patrol + 2 packs
i think im missing context for this
is this for anyone?
because its not a good route for anyone
Updated
which route isn't a good route. nav's?
are we MDI'ing and aiming for the lowest timer in a 10?
you probably are. it is for someone, but they've dipped out of the convo, so at this second it's for nobody i guess
I just updated it so the void riders arent double pulled
but thats the route I use on 12s
odd, i see the update but the mdt import text didn't update

ive done this route in 12s easy
its my standard route
I tried chaining 15 into 17 once and it was bad the voidstone was unkillable
what does that have to do with discussing a faster route for 10s?
it applies
sure, in the sense that any route for rookery "applies"
what exactly are you looking for
i'm not
but i am thankful for nav's annotated route all the same
i didn't ask you anything, and i'm not sure anyone else did either, so i can see why you're confused
our main goal is to avoid any downtime in pulls
this seems like a question
low keys you can pull stop
am i wrong?
ask if everyone is ok
lmao
get to the point, what is your problem with my suggestions?
its a public channel right? im coming into the convo just like anyone can
you need to take a breather. i don't have a problem with your suggested route. it's your route, enjoy it and may you time all your keys with it.
you're right, i won't, and just let you wonder out loud for nobody else to reply to you
in the future. good? good.
that is very clear, yes
uh huh
mostly i was replying because you asked questions. "is this for anyone?" -> yes "are we aiming for the lowest timer in a 10?" -> someone is, or for a lowER timer
ok
that's how public discussion forums generally work. people ask questions, and people reply.
anyways nav, thanks for the route. do you mean you skip the one after floating down?
I dont have any skips.
Im just sayin after the dwarf boss you go into that room with 3 mobs. you waste time trying to kill all 3. Just focus the caster and jump down.. the other 2 mobs will chain to you at the bottom.
don't do that one then. some people skip the first pack to the right of void orb guy and pull a diffuser into the patrolling oracle pack once they get down
yeah that works
sorry, i confused you. the first part of my reply to you was in reply to nimchip
theres no reason really to get heated over rookery
this season is the best its been I feel like. Im just having fun in all these keys
i'm cool as a chilled cucumber
the racehorse?
The whole Rookery thing started when I asked if anybody had a good time pulling 2 void rocks together at last boss 
I had to search the name because Im not in the know
but it was a discord thing
I think
in that case
No
never do that
lol
i'm sure it's very funny
void rock + ascendant is already hard without oracle priests
i havent done 2x voidstones so im unsure if they sync or not
but if they do, youre pretty much dead
You keep one above 50% like Grim Batol duo Ascendents
yeah its possible
But enough theory, I'll try today
but is there any reason to
and it's difficult to prio the ascendant while not cleaving the rocks sufficiently to bring them to/under 50, and then once you prio the first rock the 2nd is almost guaranteed to dip under 50
would pulling 16 with either 15+17 and lust or 18+19 and lust be too much?
technically it should only be an additional 12% damage on the void extraction thingy, so shouldn't bring it into one-shot territory
don't think you get lust back fast enough for even 3rd vuln phase on boss, even if you lust 15+16+17 tho
that being said, g18+g19 is already a difficult pull, if people arent actively LoSing or know what they're doing it could be a no go, probably not even doable in higher keys
probably simpler to lust, and chain pull after casters are dead to reduce damage
or lust halfway when doing the chain
after casters are dead
It’s based on combat time I think so mostly yea if you pull together they do sync.
IMO risk v reward isn’t there and I agree. Even with oracle priest the risk of death isnt worth the 45s you gain
the latter sems like the way to go about it
sorry, meaning for g18+g19
but yeah i agree with you Roid
If you need to double those packs to time the key there are a billion other less risky things to optimize
yup
You can double the packs before second boss and lust which is high value lust
Almost every group splits those because circle suck guys = scary but basically any healer can brute force the first double with lust and there shouldn’t be a second overlap
You can also gain a ton of time in the first boss room by doing a quad pull on the right side first pull with lust assuming you have effective kicks
Solar beam + disrupting shout can basically lock down that entire side long enough to melt it
Then you have them up again coming around to double the triple caster pack with the one before it
is there a point at which we just wanna stop going for haste and focus more on crit / vers (mainly for gems/ enchants and stuff as such)
other than when you approach the gcd cap?
I have absolutely no idea when that is
There’s a point where crit will sim higher dps for you but haste is still highly valuable for slam cdr
Im not sure when that is
Happened for me around 26-27000 haste I think?
There are galaxy brain players who can answer much better
~~50%~~100% haste (in combat with procs)
yeah that was what i was talking about when i said g17 + g18
when you can reliably maintain SB you can go for other stats, there isn't a specific number, we dont care about caps since we cant reach them
SB with ITF specifically
under 14k with 4pc you go HR, those are the only conditions for haste really
Gcd cap is 100% haste
TIL I am gcd capped with lust
oh shit, the cap is 0.75, not 1
How do you have 60-70% haste without lust
im at 54% with full ITF stacks + flask and oil i'm assuming with a haste trinket and a proc of enchant can prolly reach that 60
neither is lust
once again, you go other stats when youre comfortable with your SB uptime and most importantly your effective uptime
dont look at specific numbers for haste and shoot for those
I don't . Personally I was merely curious.
until we can reliably hit 2nd or 3rd softcaps unbuffed, we won't really care about X haste
as a goal post
gotcha
Hoping and wishing
Tfw mastery is your highest swimming stat
i dont like swimming
get a better keyboard app 👍
dont swim with ur phone
stack ears
LOL

Tfw crit haste and strength are your lowest simming stats 
That’s not true
happens
I don't wanna use mastery enchants 
Hoc big vibes
Imagine needing trinkets
Feels great when you press it


Funhouse lens also feels great when you press it and get crit
Highly recommend even tho I know you are a funhouse hater
im not, there's just better
and if its not the top trinket from delves, im not gonna do delves for it
This guy didn't appreciate me pvping him in the duel in ToP
Lots of better ones you don’t have 😑
I got my rik neck yesterday so basically all I need is some random myth shoulders to catalyze and a couple crafts and I'm yuge
Bro that’s the game
When I play 3m ele build on sham in low keys I pop all my cds on duel
Just because
the duel is CCing two people
as you should
It’s my 15 dollars and I’ll do what I want
one person using their cds to blow the other up fast is based
fuck em, i want the buff
I feel like sin rogue is super good there because Sudden Demise is huge
he got to half hp and just popped
it was only a +7 btw
absolute comedy
i cant stop laughing at "DID U JHUST SRSLY"
i just call out "kill me" and stand there, because most people seem to be on the spectrum or children, and have to win
i just want to get the dungeon over with asap
top is 100% certified suck ass dungeon
That's me, i gotta
you can realistically do that on 3 of the bosses I guess
waiting for someone to pull trash onto last boss
Yea and you can pull bow guys into second mini boss
I do this every key
That trash has zero mechanics
usually the trash on last boss is dead or close to dead by the time the boss is up
I dunno gorechop and first boss is really the only "Bring trash" move boss
and first boss is one mob
and gorechop is 2
how exciting
How many is irrelevant, number of pulls is the time gain
in low keys I'll pvp because it's funny to see peoples reactions
IMO top is frustrating because it’s a grind, bunch of little pulls
yeah top sucks
Condensing into bosses makes it feel a zillion times better
oh yeah that is different
just have a bit of fun
Boomie be like but I have CD when they're down there with a dps warrior that can kill them in 2 seconds
yeah yeah spell reflect idiot, oomkins deserve it

He commented on my dps
I'm a sin rogue, single target fight who got sent down TWICE
how am I supposed to have any damage lmao
lol
also 15 ilvls below him
we both did get sent down together each time
but I didn't stun him the second time
for some reason it didn't come out
still beat him tho
people in keys under 10 sure are something
under 10 is super serious
How did you resist saying "didn't stun you that time" lol

Sin feels absolutely awful in st
it's SO bad and it makes people think I'm shit at the game

damn I should have
yes it is
lol

my gear is pretty bad on my rogue
I haven't had a drop in like 8 dungeons too
oh
:(

Doing it with ten people definitely feels weird
Yeah
Yes
that fight kinda seems like it would be harder with lower numbers or maybe im wrong idk
just 1 person sniping others with icicle
LOL
im sorry
lol yeah
I will say though, everyone’s first attempt at hitting mines with the icicles was pretty hilarious
well, a 6.5% wipe basically means a kill tbh
we did a rat raid with like 13 alts and it wasn't that bad
getting every mechanic at 639 is kinda rough though I'll tell you that
Sometimes some of you say stuff that really nails it home for me that we don’t all play the same game
Did your rat raid blow us out of the water?
uh yes
oof
our avg ilvl was 657 and we had 6.3m more dps than yall
my 639 lock did more dps than your bottom 8
lol
Idk
Your group has some learning to do
yeah I did 1.2 at 639 as Demo, but I also suck and the boss picked me for every fucking mechanic
it was actually comedy
I do well enough to try my best and worry about me lol
Back then I also turbo sucked DW
Signet vs Crit/Mastery cloak for prot?
But I somehow managed to snag a top 30 log on my warlock on HC
huge
Cloak
being that low ilvl on these fights is a little spooky once you've used your defensives
signet is not good for us
it's also not good for arms, I dunno about fury
Kinda wish I had time for a little rat
I'd also say cape if you don't have a myth one
Ye just have a hero one, gonna take cloak then. Thx!
I do have Of The Black Harvest on my lock so you know I'm OG
I will say
Wat is this even
It hurts me to look at this
Idk mate. I purposely don’t look at logs until after raid is over
Imagine my surprise when that’s what I saw
What fight is that lol
We drug them kicking and screaming
Just play healer in a bad raid, ez path to parse. I got multiple r1 healing parses on prog just because everyone was constantly on fire every fight
It isn’t always bad I guess. We killed Sprocket before the second intermission which I think is pretty reasonable given the skill level of the group
Wait nope, we didn’t. We killed after second intermission
It’s def been made clear that I should find some new gamers to wow with though
is a myth track ringing ritual mud good or is a heroic tome still better?
tome
but they kinda accomplish different things
tome is a dps trinket
mud is a "I fucked up big time and I need to sacrifice a trinket slot to save my dumb ass" trinket
For >+12 i would say Mud for Big Pulls
also no
if you need mud to live anything at a 12 13 14 you messed up
I'd probably say 15 too but I've not done a 15 yet
Mud serves its purpose as an additional defensive. It's not great, the cd is ass. But it serves its purpose. But not at all needed
and if you feel like you need one of those wear a bomb suit
Just get a bomb suit
sense is using one in his 17's and he's just pressing it on CD
bomb suit
so it's not like it's being used to tactically save his life
I guess you could argue doing that lets you hold your other defensives when suit is up but I don't know if he's doing that
tl;dr defensive trinkets are not useful for content 99.9% of pwars are doing
especially because the other trinkets we can get are actually good for once
in 17s i can see it being useful
yea
the tomb gives you crit rating
I'm actually not sure about your question though
like if dwarves get more parry idk
Battle stance specifically says critical strike chance of your abilities. Tome does give parry.

On H Mug do you start on the dirt side or metal side
Or does it actually matter
We were starting on the dirt side and our prot pal has some strong opinions about how pugs apparently start on the metal side so we should, too
I'll never be able to see Gold Knuckles the same....
HUUUUUGE
Where you start depends on your dps
You don’t wanna have to hold dps and ideally you don’t want multiple gaol phases (because it bricks your dps) so it’s kind of raid dependent
That being said start on gaol side bc ez
it's really our fault for being so hydrated
is there any specific / suggested routes for +13s for prot warriors
because i did notice most pulls are for "DHs" since they can pull everything together which could be difficult for warriors withour LoS
you also don't need to go crazy to time 13s
Anyone able to tell me what WA or part of Plater controls this nameplate element or w.e its called? I am been looking for what does this and I can't seem to figure it out.
which part?
there's a few things going on there
I got myth tier legs with leech vs bis shield and can’t decide what to pick 
you got a mythic gally shield?
Bis from m+*. Its crit haste shield
use my bonus system like I advised earlier
The what?
if you're killing mythic rik and have a crafted shield I'd take the pants if you don't already have myth pants
Roll a dice
1 for legs
spin your mouse 180 degrees so up is down, left is right etc, then close your eyes and just keep clicking tl you get an item for a spicy bonus (dont do this)
2 for shield
lol
if you're not killing mythic rik probably shield but I'd still take the pants over 3 ilvl on shield if I had hero pants still
What, if you can't decide shit like that, just /roll 2 or w/e
I’m killing rik that’s why I’m kinda into taking legs. And I do have crafted shield
That's how I decide a lot of choices in wow
also "bis" as far as stats on a shield is very nearly irrelevant
And I mostly m+ so that leech is nice
Who tanks, which dungeon to go to etc etc
chance are haste/crit isn't actually your bis unless the rest of your gear is perfect or sucks
That’s a pretty good way of solving it when both choices are equally good.
and shields don't have many secondaries anyways
Yeah when nobody wants to make a decision
And nobody cares
Just /roll however many choices there are
1 for top 2 for ws 3 for prior
/ roll 3
Type shit
yeah nom but the wow rng is biased against me
Exactly why I don’t care too much for it. I cba to min max stats like that. Mostly chill with friends in m+ gamer these days.
Yeh
And if you don't know, the coin will decide
I have to start implementing the roll system when we pick a key lol. No one ever picks.
you'll kick yourself all the way down the street when rik drops the shield
Lol
Yes with leech and socket
go with that
There's only like 1 or 2 drops of that shield ever found
and if they actually do dinars you're gonna dinar the gally shield and replace your "bis" vault shield insta
not gonna dinar myth t pants with leech
I don’t think that shield is that good?
depends on the rest of your gear
Ilvl is ilvl
And the shield has free proc
I’m going House of cards, jaster, and then maybe shield
Thats why I crafted a 675 wep and shield right from the start cause my guilds progression is lind of slow in mythic.
Isn't next expac in late autumn? S3 will be in summer with no dinars?
No idea how many dinar items we’ll end up with.
I have a max heroic gally shield and the damage feels non existant
Next xpac should launch end of this year yeh
it basically is non existant but
Its like "cool it proc'd and did barely anything"
I wonder what the next expansion fetish will be
It's more than 0
Therefor bis
Yea but mythic house and jaster are bigger gain?
It comes with 1k free dps
at least last time I checked
you sure about that
Yes
I'm ahead of the curve and farming Seat of Triumvirate in prep for S3 
yea i think it barely does a mil or so dmg over the course of a whole raid boss fight
Pls don’t even say that. That dungeon was so trash especially for melee
It was trash cuz the dungeon was already on SL level of complexity
my bad almost 7 mil on heroic gally reclear
It was 8 years ago, it will make it cool like Neltharion and Underrot and Motherload
Shrine of the Storm was top design, but BFA subs didn't like swirlies. Now modern dungeons are more complex than that
Taking absurd dmg while moving debuff was sooo bad. Trying to dodge mechanics and getting destroyed 
i didnt sim it at all
i just remember it doing like 400 dps in a key
well that's a key

That boss with tentacles pretty much required range
mythic vexie with heroic gally shield
that's 11k free dps right there
stupid question, but where is the VO tracker here? i can't find it
free dmg is free dmg
there is
yea its free it just feels lame lmao
the first cantrip shield
in almost 2 decades
and it basically doesnt exist
isnt that fun
I mean I'm not mad about it
i am mad about it
at least they didnt take off the secondary stats to give us that proc
oh it's seeing red, that's why i couldn't find that buff anywhere. thanks
I wouldn't want to have to choose between a dps gain on a hero shield vs a myth shield without it
yeah but those aren't defensive items
Basically any item in dragonsoul
dps only care about one number
yeah and so do i
we have to care about two 
cuz we dont take enough dmg to give a shit
shut up no you don't
I'm gonna go see if you ever talented into BSV in your keys and call you out
IT WAS JUST THAT BROKEN
check my highest ones
ofc
i have nothing to hide

i was also the only pwar doing 27+ in DF s3 without cheat death
👻
cheats are for babies
That shit was more broken than majority of legendaries
or valk
which calling a cheat is kekw
which is 45s cd
they also get it for free
cuz all ppal players suck
and dont have to give up 5%+ damage
and their tree having 8 spare points
when we have 0.5 free points
eyo
dont flame shieldman
shieldman is a lovely man
scared of witches and trees
@silent osprey
he's probably too busy praying to the light or counting his scars to notice your ping
fakin paags
our cheat should just be that old pvp talent where you couldn't kill warrior for like 3 seconds once they hit 1 hp
aka purg without the negative damage
that would be based
tfw the only realistic upgrades I can get from the rest of mythic prog is shoulders belt and bracers https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/un7uPFXRf5qyaBhkgzVwTA 
Our cheat isn’t even a cheat
Honestly you prob get more defensive value out of taking ravager and spamming ignore pain while it’s up
Half cheat
That’s kinda cope but also kinda true imo
I do take it on floodgate 14 bc pugs are sleeping on big momma
That fourth electrocrush if dps is slackin is big ooof
i think fury always used it in offhand over a 2nd myth wep?
not sure
i know i did
this probably sounds stupid, but how exactly do you apply the feedback you get when tracking violent outburst to maximize, say, single target damage (by not spending it on TC/TB)?
I can make a WA say "red" via TTS when i reach 250 rage spent, but if i've already queued tclap/tblast or SS is on cd.. i'm gonna send a buffed TC/TB
and if i see the bar almost getting full and my SS has a 4-5s CD remaining, what, do i just avoid using both SS and TC/TB until i proc it and then use SS?
that might be good
but yeah i simply turn TC red
I take it on all keys because I'm trash
But....I didn't proc it on 14 big momma last night...somehow
maybe you got better
Unlikely, probably luck
What am i supposed to do when both my ava and demolish are ready yet i still have like 6-8sec on demo shout ? Do i hold or send it without ?
ez
I'm old, I don't really improve at thing anymore
just send
send it
in those 8 seconds you are already 20% to your next avatar and demolish again
dont line up
just send
The only time I don't just send avatar is priory first boss when I'm out of other CDs
Probably not right tbh, but it works for meh
Kk thanks, wasnt sure about that one
well duh
in tankbuster scenarios you wanna make use of IO ofc
catching up on prot this season. after all the nerfs to colossus, what's the % dps diff sitting at for thane vs colossus in m+
my brain is not in "bis list" mode so i wouldn't know, if you already have a myth shield but no myth legs i would take the legs
oh ok so basically go colossus
