Not a prot question but you guys are super knowledgeable and responsive, where do I find a crafter for t3 dreadnaught set?
The only skip I did with my main was the double hopgoblin and it went good and we timed with decent but not super good DPS, if you have absolutely no way to skip double hopgoblin that's a time loss and I don't know how you can make up for it, apart from that was just press w
@lusty grotto i did ur 1st pull lust in ML and ppl complained 😔
i think is a good pull
will continue to do it
ive never had people complain about it after 1st and 2nd week
they learned fast
and it was just people that just body pulled for being impatient or some idiocy and blamed the skip
most folks are used to it now
its pretty standard
I wanna see Nimchip’s routes
Do I need to stance swap for higher keys like 13+? Or can I just stay defensive whole time?
The gain is tiny, save the brain power
if u really think about it, it's a dps loss
out of def stance = ignore pain dies quicker -> spend rage refreshing it instead of on execute
🧠
hi
1.) is tome of light devotion worth it if u never on-use it , is it still good or bomb suit better atp
2.) i watched some high keys (+15+) and noticed them not using demoralizing shout vs bosses? does it not stop tank busters (obv w ignore pain and block up)?
Not sure how tome is when u ignore on use, also idk why would u ignore the on use, its one of best trinkets we got .
As for comparing , totaly different use case vs bombsuit so cant realy compare . But dmg wise even badly used tome win against bomb suit ( doesnt mean one is better than another, different purpose )
2 , they are either misplaying , or holding it for specific ocasion , but it definitely works on bosses and tankbusters
i like bomb suit a lot but the guide makes tome seem really good but tracking like a tome swap then pressing on-use and having to track it back n forth seems really difficult . so the solution for me is either hit it off cd or not at all then compare to other trinkets
aaand that's good to know cause i been doing that and felt dumb when they werent
Get a WA to track tome , the on use is realy not that hard, or if u realy dont want it then maybe use something else , cuz bombsuit isnt realy needed unless u do some high keys
It's not that difficult,as there are weakauras for it which show the nr of stacks and when to swap over.
This was posted above recently.
Hi all . Still learning to tank keys and route but noticing we are only one starring most of them. How can I tell if it's my pacing/pulling or dps too slow etx?
ill t ry this ty
Are you pulling one pack at a time? Are people dying? Is the healer struggling? Are you over-pulling (do you have 100 percent trash before end of the dungeon?)
Sometimes one at a time. No one e usually dying and only over count a few here and there were dps but pull. I could probably do bigger pulls but pugging always and tend to ere on side of caution.
I try to use quazzis routes
up the pace! pull more at once when its easy to facilitate and blast more mobs with same round of cds. alternatively, chain faster when the annoying mobs have been dealt with so getting more isn't gonna cause problems
Ok will do. Any guides out there deal with pace instead of route?
No,as it's extremely dependant on the group.
Pay attention to how your healer and DPS manage first couple of pulls. If no one is dying or doing stupid stuff, you can continue pulling bigger.
think of it on a dungeon-to-dungeon thing and comp thing.
take the pack after 2nd boss door in priory. i dont wanna drag 2 paladins on 30% with 3 caster dps comp 40 yards up the stairs and get another set of paladins. what will happen? the 2 paladins on 30% will get another round of Divine Toll off, the dps need to move and prolly do less dmg and any spells like comet storm will be whiffed
but in meadery you can just drag hobgoblin or harvester (big ugly looking gnoll guy) into whatever is next up
Thx this is really helpful i just did a priory last night but we lost time cause dps kept dying to stuff on the ground. One more question, what's a good indicator of how high a key to push. Cause I.am learning i am over gearing for le el I am at. Am at 650 ilevel and doing 3s to learn
keep going up key lvl until you feel you hit a "wall", log your runs and figure out what the pressure points are
jumping appears to extend the range of any character centered radial AOE, works on every warrior skill that fits the profile - thunder clap, challenging shout, thunderous roar etc
standing CS
jumping CS
doesn't work on shockwave, not that it needs the range
it's also not radial but hey, might as well try while i'm doing the science
iirc it works the other way around, safer to run out of a circle last moment than panick jumping out of it even if it intuitively feels like jumping is better
oooohh now that's useful info
i have some memory hearing firedup saying this at some point so thats my only source i suppose xd
from classic i know mages jump to CoC and hit everything they pull. not sure if thats authentic to the 2004 client but classic 2019 reboot was based on legion client iirc
The next key lvl is 10% more hp and damage than the one before, so when I route i check if when I timed I have >10% of the time left, meaning my route works after (it is not absolute but it is general idea of what I do)
If it doesn’t work/ not 10% left in my run, it’s time to remove 1 pull on my mdt
Another general rule I use, if a mm hunter can’t even AoE/fury is not target cap loser on the pull = worst pull ever, wasted time
I feel like you edited it and I still can’t entirely decipher the message lol
If your pull doesn’t allow MM to aoe or fury isn’t the worst performer on the pull it’s wasted time?
Did I get it right?
think he meant you pull to the strengths of the comps cds
if your running target capped group then its technically less worth pulling beyond that in one go and rather chain
if you got arcane mage try have a chunker so they can cleave off
etc
but thats easier said than done. cba when rogue nags about "needing" to drop combat while boomie and uhdk don't care and prolly prefer to chain
Hey Guys! Is there a WA or Addon which shows me if the (most) mobs are in range for my taunt-shout or my thunderclap?
Why is it that when a boss knocks me back and I charge back in, it puts me like behind the boss and seems like it can hit me in the back?
just wow things
I'm pretty sure when you charge, you charge to where the enemy was
not where it's at
Ok so it's not something I'm doing wrong lol. So I just spin char around immediately after so I don't die?
so if the mob moves towards you then you'll end up behind it
Ahhh
I mean the enemy has probably already melee'd you when you get into range
so you'll have enough time to turn around
but yeah
I just posted on the wow forums for literally the first time ever because threat is so annoying in keys right now. Almost every key I did tonight there was at least one death from the unholy dk or ret pally getting slapped by enemies, and when that happens while I’m in avatar, after roar, demolish, and ravager it blows my mind
I even had the ret get the bfa back enchant for reduced threat and he isn’t stupid and always waits a sec and doesn’t just blow his load
And still sometimes he gets wrecked randomly
It’s not even like an on pull death it’s like we are fighting the pack for a minute then suddenly the ret or dk pull and die
Haven't had that happen
strange
sure he's not accidentally fatfingered taunt? lmao
I don’t think so. Barely failed a couple keys tonight that would have pushed me over 3300, so it just sucks depleting by like a couple seconds when those deaths just shouldn’t happen
It’s especially bad in the big pulls like cinderbrew where like even if I’m blasting when the dk and ret are doing 20 mil+
either mobs are glued to tank from walking past and we back to infinite kite meta or we get this situ. idk what solution is but i feel if your connecting with spells it should be enough
tank with 670 shouldnt struggle because power creep has some dps doing 30m+
i know my destro warlock can pull threat like crazy when i infernal +lust and chain like 6 chaos bolts that all hit for 4m +
The more geared we get the bigger and bigger that dps gap between dps and tanks keeps getting
yeah its dogshit
Also doesn’t help just going for less dam more tanky talents the higher key level too
are you running colossus build or mountain thane?
Did both tonight in 2 motherlode 16s. The mountain thane run was the first time I’ve tried it all season
it shouldnt matter in principle what hero class you play. why even bother with more than 1 hero class if one is by happenstance solving fundamental issues like threat
i’ve notice mount thane generates so much threat at the expense of dps because the lightning burst or whatever it’s called is such a high damage high frequency use
I think in the mountain thane run specifically I had the dk rip threat and die from his blood is life proc
And the timer in that run was depressing
sure but its weird that can make a diff. not how well your using spells
That one death not happening could have made it not failed, idk if the other deaths involved threat shit I don’t remember but one for sure was threat, like a minute into a pull which just shouldn’t happen
yeah its def stupid
Side note, not being able to demolish the adds on 2nd boss in motherlode because you are thane feels real bad lol
yeah game feels really good for ads and REALLY bad for boss fights
only run i’ve felt like thane was okay for both was an 11 psf
Priory is actually the main dungeon I wanted to try thane in but 15 priory I was still kinda chilling on the damage taken. Idk what level I would want to swap to feel slightly more tanky
does the classic enchant for 2% more threat on glove still exist
I did tell the ret that he has it lol
yeah but doesn't work on high ilvl stuff
the ilvl limits on enchants are so dumb imo
its kinda the same situ as with bfa cloak enchant then. cringe it randomly still works when its like 3 expansions ago
maybe time to rotate engineer target dummys
Well, without it we would be rocking enchants in all slots at weird power levels. Then you got things like weapon chain for PvP
It would be a mess
just disable enchants for pvp #eZpZ
my point was more, its just bad that some enchants randomly still have relevancy while others cant be used at all (and for good reason)
Saddest thing with old consumables was when they disabled the 150% speed potions from bfa. I loved using those for grouping big pulls
yeah they were great
150% speed pots were great
When I play with my udk friend I always keep the mass taunt/shockwave for his blood is life, feels bad not timing for 2s F, 20% less damage L ?
I did have to aoe taunt several times tonight, which also feels bad when you want it for the aoe kick on so many packs
I don’t hold my shockwave for his blood is life, it’s just when he gets the proc, he tells me if he gets the proc and I tell him if it’s fine or not depending what I have ready
- he is night elf
So when it is a problem I tell him to shadowmeld
It is 10 sec to react/ prepare, shockwave is 20 sec cd
is everyone playing thane again now or
depends on the dungeon/comp/style you play
like hpriest/hpal + unholy dk + mage + boomy i run thane just because i don’t gotta worry about personal dps and can just be better about cc/bigger pulls
Nop just people preferring thane I think, they take the damage loss in exchange of liking the gameplay
glyph of lightning strike go brr
I do prefer too the clap prot war gameplay, but not to the point of choosing it over the best
I had heard Yoda say he plays it for survivability in higher keys. But honestly doing 16s I do not feel any tankier in thane than Colossus it feels the same pretty much
yeah especially when demolish can hit for 20m total damage on a single cast
Yoda said PWARRIOR had low dam
yoda says a lot of things
Take what influencers say with a big pinch of salt 🧂
so do all wow influencers
Cool to see this is a constant for all classes hahaha
The difference is most wow influencers say things but don’t actually push high end content. He does
good players, but mostly they have a consistent group of good players and time to put into pushing keys
I don’t really see where thane is more surv than col, col has so much free DR in the hero tree
doesnt mean they know everything
Doesn't make his words more true, when they blatantly false
its more consistant survivibility against bleeds and magic because more IP
colossus is more bursty and technically rng defensive
because if u hold avatar for a SW use
u wasting it
as colossus
Meh, you could hold it if needed
Yeah it’s the only point I can see something, bleeds = IP spam
You do, but if it is needed, it is needed
u get more walls with UW but u might not have it when u need it in higher keys
I think it's viable to hold avatar on some things
like first boss priory
but holding it feels bad
really don't like CDs that combine both damage + defensive
Better be alive and able to feel, than dead but with better theoretical uptime
for sure but it's not usually a case of just dying if you don't hold it
at the end of the day you can't cover all bleeds on first boss priory
healer gotta heal
but is it worth making it a bit easier by holding it for a bit? on that boss I'd say yeah
As long you got it for the overlaps of judge/bleed 
You do the same keys he does on his warrior (16s), you can also have your own opinion
Fair
And don’t be baited by streamers filling their vaults on their alts near the end of wow week
Yoda repeatedly says wrong things about warrior anyway
They do 2-3 lvl below mains bc you have to be prepared to tuning
That’s basically what I do too. 13s/14s on alts then try to push on the warrior when I can do actual keys
I do remember looking last season at Yodas warrior video and thinking he was insane for not running the talent that gives 8% armor, stam, and 2% haste lol
Speaking of bleeds
I dabble tanking as offspec in some random 12s. Psf, how do you deal with the first boss. Getting my cheeks clapped very often there. Havent died but have procced cheat death many times. Same with the mini boss before last boss. They hurt even on 12s 🤐
If you don't die, it ain't an issue. Healer fight. Rotate CDs on overlaps in particular
That’s the only dungeon I 100% of the time use an on use defensive trinket in, use spell reflect as the judgment hits to reduce the initial hit.
Yes it is one of our biggest issue (the first boss of priory), you need to have a good def cd rotation / you can be dwarf too
Going nelf has made that and cinderbrew so much harder
Yeah its just mega scary every time. Doing my best to have some CD but im always dry at some point
No dwarf 😵
Just shadowmeld, now it is a DPS problem 
You can take an evoker in your group if you really need to dispel bleeds
If i wanted to do higher than 12s i would struggle perhaps
Dude my first day as a nelf I shadowmelded the entire first pull in priory on to the dps because I went to dwarf racial a trap
I think if you do over 15s
Ace move
Yeah not a chance, atleast as a tank 😅
(I did cinderbrew 14 and the first pull/bleeds didn’t matter at all I thought I could take 20% more damage / so a 16)
I just sometimes tank cause its hard finding a (good) tank. Might aswell tank some resilient keys and get better. Can only blame myself if its shit 😅
You be surprised how much DPS and healer makes a difference
I can no longer do that pull without my group telling me to not shadowmeld
Meadery is rough
the single most based move to make
The whole run isn't just on the tank. We ain't god (anymore)
Dealing with pugs is a coin flip
Spend a little more time vetting, and ya reduce it to throw of a d10
The tank in pug does carry imo, since you choose the packs in pug
Managed to run my own keys to 13 ish as arms but starting to be very frustrating trying to push higher
I still feel like tank is like 70% of the effort 😅
If you have a good route and good with pacing you can find some dps who can press buttons in correct order and profit
prot warr tank is god below an 8 wdym
i’ve pulled the entire first room of meadary + mini boss on a 6 and never dropped below 50% hp
just SPAM ignore pain/revenge/SS until everything died
If you have a bad group, you slow down your route, change it midway to be safe
and if the dos/healer dies just simply live until they get back
Like if your healer struggle in priory until the first boss, don’t take the full 5 paladin pull
Yeah that makes sense
You're guaranteed to go dry eventually
that's when it's the healer's turn to lock in
Maybe its just was just healer issue there cause I was clenching all fight
And when you have a good grasp on the timer / how long things takes, you can slow down when you are way ahead to be safe
you could always save your 30% hp heal cd for the first boss/oh shit and be relatively fine
(Like what time is left when you enter the last room of priory
That just comes with experience yeah 🤔 dont pay too much attention to that as dps
Rookery on the other hand felt so comfy as 12
You pay attention as dps, for your cds, use it to know how long a pack takes
I couldnt tell a difference between 10 or 12
Same for 13 or 14
Is priory just kinda rough for us
Each key lvl is 10% increase of the previous so usually you don’t notice it
The two things you mentioned, first boss and mini boss at the end are just exceptionally hard on prot warrior compared to every other tank
So you slowly integrate the increases lvl in your brain
yeah without a dk it can be rough ngl, them having the grip is so nice for before the first boss but once you get into the pally area it’s not too hard, focus down the priests and the whole group dies pretty easy after the 10% hp nerfs
Yeah. Other than the bleed guys i feel its quite chill. Only annoying part is the lack of grouping abilities on the group. But felt no danger anywhere else
The timer is quite generous
For lower keys
yeah if you have some pace and a good enough healer chain pulling is pretty easy ngl
I think the only danger is healer struggle and the bleed jump of shaynemail for the first part
i did a 7 for my guildie and basically pulled the two sets of mobs into the last boss with ease and timed the hero for p2 of that fight
Sheesh
I bricked a 14 a couple of nights ago on the miniboss because I fucking noobed and followed a healer ping to add in one of the packs near the stairs and I died wiping us, the key was free at that point as well 😦
Note to self, never ever listen to the pings - i would've been flamed if we missed time, but as it was I fucked the whole run doing something I didn't need to, sadge 😦
That’s rough. In general if people tell you to pull stuff and you think it’s a bad idea just ignore them. People are stupid, especially greedy little dps players when their big cds come up
Yeah, I should've ignored, it was the healer pinging though so I guess my thoughts process was 'well I guess he has cocoon or something up' - didn't check if he did even though I have it tracked.
Like I said, my noobing, super raging at myself for it 🙂
I did a key and I guess the dude I was playing with was some streamer warrior guy, and he kept pinging other packs the entire time and I guess raging on his stream the entire time. It was like a week one or two 11 floodgate and that mad man wanted me to pull the 2nd to last pull in floodgate into the last pull. 3 of those big guys is an insane way to wipe the group. Lol
I just ignored him. If you want to do crazy risky for no reason pulls, you tank it
i am also hilariously overgeaded for a 7 and so is our healer
i’m 665 in prot and the healer 668/9
so it was kinda cheese for most of it, i did end up at top dps tho by like 300k dps
I don't ignore peoples pings
I can just never fucking SEE them
I hear the ping and go
WHO THE FUCK IS PINGING AND WHY
if ppl want to have an opinion on route they should ask before key starts. if they dont i assume they are fine with whatever. if you deplete who gives a shit go next your tank 
Is there a cheat sheet for when to use Spell Block? I feel like I'm not using it enough (aka randomly pressing the button when I remember it exists) and could benefit from it in M+/Raid
yes in the pins
Amazing thank you, sorry I didn't think of checking the pins first
it happens
Tbf I personnally use pings a lot
I love when the ping goes nowhere near your cursor
When I want a pug to pull a pack for me I mass ping the pack and they understand somehow
Or to say the direction I will move the pack from an AoE I do the mass ping line
spamming ignore pain huh
no bueno
100% uptime or you playing wrong /s
What key lvl I can do without pressing IP 🤔
all of them
Yeah I’m thinking I can do my current key lvl without pressing IP
yall not rocking with IP?
14s
not rocking with the 3s off avatar?
you mean outburst
Im rocking with IP to dump my rage
Not to get more IP or chase uptime
i really only spam ip when a pull goes wrong
Uptime is kinda automatic
yeah thats fine i guess
When pull goes wrong I press def cd + shockwave
but in low keys SB takes care of the majority of the damage and you can just Brut Vit any existing IP
and stay calm to not take backshots
Finally got all 12s done
Three 13s as well
- I’m hoping one more 13 gets me to 3k
The number of pugs I’ve seen decide we need to pull extra stuff and then die has risen towards the end of the week
pug quality goes down the closer to reset it is
it be like that
That’s when the afk thru a 10 weekly because I only “raid log” gamers pull up
hey thats me
I think I have zero interest in farming a full vault because the trinkets all suck
yeah thats a big one too
If they had a great 1:30 trinket I’d be way more inclined
most of the gear comes from raid, outside 1 trinket
which is pacemaker, and thats it
big part of it really
yeah i get it
at least this season is fun
so keys shouldnt be a hassle for you guys that dont like em
or dont need them etc
I've been playing a lot
mainly to help friends gear and just to play with friends in general
done way too many 10s and under
Maybe if even just one other video game existed I’d play something besides WoW
But alas
I'm a 1.30mim trinket guy myself
Yeah it's really crazy how nobody's made any other video game yet
I’m telling you. Seems like a wide open market
Yeah bro fr playing with un-syncd trinkets is dog!
we're all a 1:30 min trinket guys
it's actually unreal
Refuse to do it
PoE 1 no updates
PoE 2 is ass
Tekken 8 got literally destroyed
SF6 sucks (opinion)
life is hard
monster hunter is $$$
I will use two passive trinkets before I equip a 2 minute trinket
I don't like monster hunter sadly
unfortunate
eh they did some improvements after the last update
im doing fine with a 3070ti and a 5900x
dune awakening will be the one that will tell me whether i need an upgrade sooner rather than later tbh
you're nowhere near needing an upgrade lmao
are you playing 4k?
nah
then you're good
but monster hunter is a vram vacuum
cause the game sucks ass
zero optimisation
We need to stop allowing devs to just be like "oh well it works on latest gen"
games are literally uglier than ever too
crazy
its not that game, its every game lately
yeah
Devs are lazy as fuck
cause DLSS "solves" the issue with performance
and so every game is ugly as fuck or runs like shit (or both)
yeah
is the new one good? Haven't gotten it yet
its, easier than past monster hunters
but it fulfills the itch
i dont think being easier from the get-go is a bad thing
as long as g-ranks are challenging
Why would a business spend money optimizing when they can make more money by just….not.
As long as people keep buying poorly optimized new games, companies will keep releasing poorly optimized new games
There’s no profit in pride
I've played some of the older ones on the switc after I played world/iceborne, and they are pretty tough at times
because they are already optimizing for consoles
I feel you. Never listen to anyone 😂 we got a rogue for our meadery, cause tank wanted someone for skips and he insisted on this rogue. Guy (near 3k rated) ended up doing 2.3mil overall and dying to stupid shit. All for skipping 1 pack
Didn't time
most of the games coming out are remakes, reissues, those are the bulk of basically the majority of the sales
also switch 2
I’m fully convinced meadery doesn’t need skips and people spend too much brainpower trying to justify/perform skips
Just w key and pump
I heard the new Oblivion remake is like significantly larger than the original
oblivion remake AND skyblivion coming soon
Oh god Oblivion remake has got me hyped. Oblivion was like my childhood from 7-8 years old
Meadery boss kill times are what destroy you, ipa in particular
IPA feels like it takes 11 years
I cheesed my 14
I can feel my beard turning gray on that boss
I brought two boomies and a mistweaver
Ez
Mw goes out and controls/dps adds while boomies starfall them to death, melee stays on boss
Agree 100%. It was only a 13 aswell. Surely you can just power through
Has anyone grouped with a good arcane mage yet? They’re like a cheat code
yeah they have bananas funnel damage
Gotta be careful with the good ones especially if they get pi
My guildie is one, dude is super nice to party with
If you need a mob deleted inside a pull, arcane just explodes it’s insane
I did 5.5m dps on big momma on my marks hunter, proc life
Idk i feel mages are generally quite bad. Like 1/10 is good
Now boomie seems like the same
just like ret, they are the 2nd most played class
1/10 is good
doesnt mean good ones dont exist
Most mages are fire and most mages are bad at managing combust
Tops
If you see a 3k arcane mage chances are they are not bad
Vdh has the same issue. Very popular and common so you see a lot of bad ones who jump into the middle of packs and get deleted
Its just how do you sort one If their rating is 3k and they are shit anyway
Coin flip
you dont
Friend of mine is swapping to fire from his feral druid, and he loves it. He's got combust every pull, assuming he doesn't die lol
This is just standard for all tanks
Vdh is the meme but most tanks that aren’t Druids or brewmasters will just run into a pack, get hit in the back and die
Yeah they got moonfire to pull tho so I find generally they don’t do it as much
lol
a druid will instantly get deleted if they dont have some kind of opener defensive going
they need to ramp iron furs
The amount of warriors I heal that heroic leap into 4 packs with no shield block up while simultaneously getting blasted in the back is too high
they are the original "VDH gets remotely uninstalled"
Like I literally life grip them back now
But anyways yeah, fotm classes always have a higher than average number of bad eggs who do a lot of oopsies
💯
I’ve also been shocked by the number of people I’ve been meeting this season who don’t join any class discords
thats pretty normal
the vast majority of players don't care to learn to be gooder
this goes for any game
I can’t imagine not being in the class discord for at least the class(es) im playing
So much free info
Can we put a block icon on this gif
Cant wait to try 17 floodgate today! Hope big momma doesnt delete me!
Healer problem tbh
although some players report it some performance actually got worse after the update but well I expect they roll more update for that.
Well said brother
got better for me
not a huge improvement but still noticeable
anyway nim is what weapon main?
oh you are hammer bros too
I played on launch with my doggo pc on medium,I just had 1 graphic bug happening very rarely
Charged blade / The machine gun for me
Focus mode goated btw
yea
youre gonna need an uppie soon
i'm waiting gta 6 / a game i can't play on this pc to buy a full new one
as you should
but being able to play MH on medium gave me more cope on it is alright config
FSR does wonders for MH
i am clueless about computers, i just ask my dad who knows more to tell me WHICH ONE
and i say a price i can afford
its generally cheaper to build
you just pay extra for pre-built for the peace of mind
i take second-hand personally / used ones
i always build though
bc it is REALLY cheap
Dragonwilds is sick btw
There’s plenty of content
Building is fairly fleshed out you can get pretty creative
so it's a typical survival game ? i didn't read much about it
It’s still early stages you can tell but it’s a great nostalgia trip if you were a RuneScape gamer as a kid
Yes it’s just like your standard survival game
Maintain hunger and thirst
be waiting a couple of year
i think i'll wait, i am in the looking for another game / almost raid logging in wow, i'm in the trying spree rn
2 enemies
Skyblivion announcement today hopefully releasess this year!!
the actual oblivion remake annoucmenet today
It would make sense for them to use the more modern system like Skyrim
so many tiktoks about the remake, like it will come out this week, it is so weird
Not just graphical upgrades that mods already do
i hope they steal everything / gameplay from avowed
No way it’s released right away
I’d be shocked
And very pleased
But thats pure hopium
right uh I've been seeking some youtube video but they don't say too much about class, what weapon/class is available?
they are mid games yes

Melee has perks, ranged and magic exist but do not have perks yet that is the next step on the road map
i have never played them either
Nah hard disagree
Fallout 3 and oblivion were my first ever video games
So much nostalgia for me
so you have the "first video game" biais
hmmm what weapon are available brew? like 2h, then 1h+shield or dual wield maybe?
Hmm wait technically n64 games with my dad
anyone know what helm enchant we go yet
but when skyrim guilds quest : in 2 jobs you are GUILD GOD WEREWOLF SECRET KEEPER
i just dont klike american RPGs
wait until may
not just may
may 20th
fun
I love waiting a month after a patch to get its main content
So far 1h/shield but I’m still very early in the game so surely more to come
Barely explored the map
Just made it to the swamp area
Witch is “second” I guess
idk about the enchant it is whatever, i don't count cyrce ring as content
i mean the horrific vision
YouTube!?
from what I've heard from people doing the horrific visions on ptr, its actually, you know, fun, and not obvious filler content that you will only ever do once
twitch or yt
Tune in on April 22, 2025, at 11am ET/8am PT.
the pope died for oblivion remake thank you pope

Colossus Mythic+ Build
See below
Import code: CkEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIGAAAAmZmxMzMYWmZZmZmtFGjZaMLjZYsMmZGWmZGzADDAAAAAAMzAAsstBAsZGDLkBmhFawC
This should be used as the basis of a Mythic+ build as Colossus.
you do know you can link to messages right?
he did
that's not a link to message ? ( i meant he did a link AND copy pasted)
Uriel Septim? More like Uriel Pope
anyway thats not gonna get updated unless Nome and Mwahi decide to
Nome hasnt even updated wowhead for battering ram
who is gooning rn on the bethesda stream ?
but i think it will be just a remaster with no real quest changes (it will still be 10 vs 10 char max battles like every bethesda game)
and towns of 20 NPCs
we will see i guess
i'm pre-dooming
if its just a graphic over haul they might as well release it now
I could potentially lend a hand if needed
thats not how it works
wait, leap can actually be interrupted by rocket on sprocketmonger?
😂
Don't worry, if there is one thing Bethesda is known for its the extreme polish of their games
POLAND MENTIONED
140gig brother i hate UE5

whelp my sub expires today anyways

YEAAAAAH

fuck the website i use to buy games crashed
its free on gamepass
idc about game pass, i want my mods
6 billion dolalr
we are in bobby kotick's maze after all
Yeah getting off of this for raid today is going to be so hard
and its gross reclear day
shkip
I'm glad that they made changes where it made sense (like the leveling system)
Sleeping is fine
Meant more like the obtuse having to min max the leveling up of skills before actually doing the level up otherwise you lose out
yea im curious how much leveling jank there will be
i hope you can still max attributes somehow
without minor skill min maxing
Just don’t
You seem kinda sick tbh
Can’t raid when you’re sick
Going to be giga challenge to watch people fuck up on sprocket and keep my mouth shut when we should have killed the boss already (4% wipe)
When I could be playing oblivion having fun!!!
Is the remaster on gamepass?
yea
that's the prog tonight is sprocket
if i REALLY want disrupting shout as thane what do i most likely ditch? thunderlord?
instigate/indomitable if you're running either of those
coolio ty
Gotcha
surerly SB will be good again 
I’m gonna play Druid
havent been a fan sadly, rarerly a pure phys build is good
ya, spiritborn d4
What are you gonna play ?
Sybau
My prot warrior only does m+, is it generally better to select arms or fury when opening the GV or should I stick to prot? I don’t have either the tome of lights devotion or pacemaker
If I get the tome would I then switch to a dps spec?
not until you get a myth shield
I mean I’ll actually probably do some kind of stealth character because I love RP as an assassin with the Dark Brotherhood
I have a 675 one hand and 675 sheild
Just not an archer
doesnt matter

I’d love to do an unarmed build but idk if they did any rebalancing (it was pretty piss poor damage in the original oblivion)
Oblivion dark brotherhood is so good, I can’t wait to see how they did the butchering of … , but I’m impatient so I never do stealth in games
@lusty grotto thxs!
you didn't really need to be patient if you minmaxed stealth, you just tapped crouch whenever you feel like it and murk people
but yeah, minmaxing in og oblivion was a nightmare
you chose skills you want to use as major/minor? you fucking dolt
I’m just so glad that they kept the original spell casting system where it doesn’t require a specific hand @sharp gale
Seems like the majority hero talent is colossus is mountain thane grief to play ? New to prot war
Just being able to cast with a 2h or sword/shield is BiS
if youre new thane is simpler
Griefing to your overall damage but that’s about it
once you get good at using rage
you can swap to colossus
you need some experience
when you stop getting rage starved and/or capped, thats when you swap
rage management is essential important for both but essential for colossus
but its easier to handle as thane
you'll do around ~20% less aoe damage as thane though
stick to thane if you're new, make sure your SB management is good, make sure your rage management is good, make sure your defensive cycling is good and then swap to Colossus
youre also free to just go colossus and get better using it, but that's entirely up to you
seems pretty popular now
silence dog
idk i never played magic in oblivion, i was 2 handed if i member, if you meet a zombie, tell me if they are still as CREEPY scary with traumatizing sound effect
?
@bronze lantern was wrong
6 years ago
thats
when i discovered RF worked with Devastator
well some time after i guess
holy cow
thyme was still active
c:
sure
I think that’s fair too
i was a bear main and can say bear is significantly easier. i literally had ironfur macro’d into my thrash/mangle. there is min maxing, just like with anything, but in general bear doesnt really have to focus on half the stuff warrior does.
can bear even take backshots
bear is more forgiving for backshots but you still shouldnt
you shouldnt macro IF either
doesnt matter
so i had no rage dump other than IF
you shouldnt macro off-gcd spenders regardless of reasoning or talents, it builds bad tendencies
that being said, you should never get back hits on any tank
you cant dodge (as bear or brew), you cant parry (as prot, DK, pally, VDH)
or block as pally or prot
its just a lot more forgiving on tanks which active mit is armor
like IF
i think you should be able to back dodge
aura dodge
maybe just as monk since they got them senses
haki BM
i think positioning requirements should get fucking deleted, dont get me wrong
why the fuck does bear have decent dodge, they're fucking huge bears
its an outdated system
one of my biggest gripes in XIV
and still existing in WoW to some extent
at least in the opposite side
but block would be insanely strong as it stands without a positioning requirement, so i suppose that's cope justification
It’s so weird to me that guardian uses agi instead of str
possibly just history based on the fact that feral used to be one tree
i guess there are no classes with a str spec and an agi spec, right?
It’s time
It’s gone in xiv
At least the irritating idiotic version of it
Now it’s just skill expression
Positionals?
Yes now they are just flank and rear
theyre still bad
And the position requirement is basically anything that isn’t rear is flank
Not like it bricks your combos or craters your damage anymore, you and zug and miss half your positionals and you can still parse 90+ easily
im just capping real quick brew
one of the best things ffxiv has is you can cap weekly shit in like 2-3 hours depending on hunt trains
that being said
any positional requirement in 2025 is outdated
and im 100% aware
yup
How am I suppose to live out the fantasy of being a badass warrior who charges his opponent head on and demolishes everything in his path
When I gotta sneak behind the target like a rogue and stab them in the back

You think you do, but you don’t
Yes
All warriors must stand in front of the enemy, this is why prot is best
Haha psych parry
It is what I say for so long, it is an rp thing not fun, archaic
100%
Anti new player mech
You can already be s tier with your eyes closed
Logging into the game is anti new player
Plus anyone who played 1.0 with any real dedication knows that this iteration of ff positionals is at least doable
The devs will never let it go, lol
dont be a gatekeeper
You talk about xiv ? Bc it’s true each time I try to take a sub I want to end
its not the fact that xiv has positionals or not, its the fact that it stille xists on both games
I just don’t
its magnitude doesnt matter
Not your fault tbh
I’m to WoW pilled
Unless you are a story enjoyer really the game doesn’t offer much
Yeah I’m totally a combat guy
just story skip
I skip quest dialog and text
Endgame content is still not challenging tho, at least not in any real sense
It does provide goated group prog feelings
Not really
Classes are
Not the content, in your m+ everything happens the same / that’s why you can compare it to myth prog when you prog giga high keys
In ff every mechanic is resolved in the same exact way every time - almost always “stand in this place” and there is minimal skill expression
There’s multiple ways to resolve mechanics in wow - though still somewhat limited, and the interaction of your class with mechanics is a lot more dynamic
So I guess I’d kind of agree with you
also im a 2.0 guy
so you didnt even clear savage?
I stopped on last boss after wiping for months because our reaper kept backflipping off the platform
I haven’t logged on since
Sounds like a chill guy
Now that you mention it, kinda funny!
We have demon hunters front flipping off platforms
You guys have reapers back flipping

I don’t see the big difference in wow, I don’t LOVE ff gameplay bc of classes gameplay / server ticks, in wow raid I do the exact same every pull, my char move the exact same positions, just sometime I’m picked like in ff you have to read the boss picked pattern I don’t remember how the concept is called
And in wow if I’m picked, I move the same way I did for the 30 times I got picked during the 100 pulls
I don’t dislike either I just find wow raiding to be more complex. As a whole wow is a more complex game. Tho ff story is great - and their crafting system is great but underutilized
Ff prog is built in a way that you can easily play both games
cant really make the comparison at all
Yes they are 2 different raid philosophy
I dunno I think it’s fair to compare fight and mechanic design directly
highly disagree
But in the limited scope that ff has a 3s hard tick rate and that has to severely limit what they can do
there's a reason why FF fights are designed in any way that's different than WoW
I compare usually as dance fight in wow but it’s way more pushed than what we have in wow
What's a super nice melee comp for prot warrior?
Enh, ret, MM, MW? Any others that are really good together?
gcd, server ticks are extremely important for timings on fight design
Yeah their server tick rate, it drives everything they do lol.
And old
Bc classic is tick rate / they did the switch in Cata or mop I don’t remember
WoW doesnt have that problem, but if it did, GCD/Haste would be a huge problem for console players, at least normal non godlike reflex ones
controller players will always be a step behind
on WoW
so just due to that reason
you cant really compare the 2
there are aspects you can, like "this raid has no trash and its just 4 bosses or phases" vs "look at all this shit i have to clear /afk"
Anything that isn’t a star falling boomkin
Lol!
Oh ok ty!
You need some ranges no ? Are there annoying things focusing prio them this season ?
All melee sounds terrible why would you do that
other than that, straight melee
Monk/shaman/hunter/druid
Would give you the most dps
If you don’t want Hunter for burst damage on boss then rogue fits nicely in that list
I would put a rdruid in the comp
Hi I’m new to warrior tank this season (have played in old expanisons) is there any good tank videos I can watch for mythic dungeons? To learn positioning and such?
Bc I feel it will be annoying absolutely 0 range
Tactyks in general has fantastic M+ content/guides
Like second boss of ML
Not warrior specific but they’re very informational
For warrior specific watch sense gameplay
If you wanna do all phys I’d say pwar/mm/rogue/windwalker/rdruid
Thanks warrior specific would be best as I know the dungeons well as melle dps
Thank you! ☺️
Do I want to demolish early in rotation? It adds a debuff to enemies to make them take more damage right?
And lastly, any tips for best utilizing the AOE silence?
I can't put rdruid in my team because my healer friend said it's too much work lol
The damage taken debuff scales with stacks of Colossus Might
Mistweaver will do phys damage as a healer but two monks would be troll
They play 2 Druid on MDI for DFC
you'd probably r sham for windfury, though I haven't looked to see if we're talking melee or phys damage in general
To fully elaborate, ultimately, you kinda just want to send Demo in CD, since it lets you leverage CDR more often. Generally when gathering a pull, you'll get a few initial stacks just from gathering needs (Revenge, SS crits, etc)
Also, Disrupting Shout isn't a silence; it's an AOE interrupt, so you use it to catch multiple interrupts at once or just as a spare singular interrupt that has a longer lockout than usual
You need a skip way, disenrage, BL, brez, your stop rotation, your uncap/big aoe dudes and prio dude (have the damage comp to time keys)
Mm has tranq and huge aoe burst
It’s capped but 4set procs aren’t
It’s not melee but is a good fit into a phys comp
So rogue is, and he got shroud
I was doing Tactyks route for ML and had people complaining to me about the route
Pugs can’t always handle tactyk route
Well it claims to be pug friendly
But it pulls quite a bit at the beginning of ML
Healer was pretty upset
🤷♂️
Ahhh I see
What’s the route
Tell them to get good 
I’m mobile but uhhhh
If you go to threechest.io and hit the pull down you can see Tacyk pug friendly
"pug friendly" means so many different things
the types of players you get in +12 pugs vs, like, +6 pugs are just completely different
The only time I was upset with any kind of pull while healing ML, it was when I was upset that it took like 5-6 mins for the DH to use their first Fiery Brand or whatever that spell is called
I will look at it
and their expectations are different
+6 pugs don't even know the mechanics still lol ... No one does +6. It's either +7 for hero/gilded or +10 for weeklies
I had 1 healer complained I took the mécha on the first pull ( he died but not bc of the mécha)
Under sample routes not the pull down sorry
So I left and timed 13 ML and 14 ML back to back
lol
And in none of the two they were « wtf mécha »
Oh u do peacekeeper on first pull?
Yes bc I’m not in high keys yet
Unfortunately if I go to threechest.io and hit the route and then try to copy the url it just stays threechest.io and trying to get a screenshot on mobile is too small
So it’s just free
At one point I will not take the peacekeeper anymore and take another pack with the first
I had 2 peacekeeper in 1 pull in one of the 12 ml I did bc someone pulled through the wall (I was doing the press W route)
On my first couple 10s the first week I was taking 2 extractors after first boss 
That’s a streamer pull
Dorki does that for sure and so does Yoda
I asked my normal squad if they wanted to try it and they said yes and quickly changed their minds
Like going right in priory
lol we tried going right in priory after the nerfs to the fire wizard
We decided it wasn’t worth
I went right the first week and I saw my group melt every time lol
that boss sucks anyway
One of my friend convinced me to try, when I saw the mini boss = NO SHOT I do trashs on top of him when I will push
Yeah now everyone skips it with the wall jump cuz it just murders everyone with the first pull
I feel like only prot pally gets good value out of it cuz they won't die on the boss, right?
Maybe in 15 I will start to not do the peacekeeper
im guessing you are referring to the slow dot
Iunno I just heard prot pallies prefer right route cuz the first boss deletes them if not
The first boss deletes us and we don’t go right
Well it tries
But after careful usage of defensives and screaming at the healer we live
seems as good a time to ask as any...
should I be pulling dailcry out of the arcane explosion channel?
i usually just hold demo shout but realized in my last run I could probably just range that cast
Has anyone seen the “pug friendly route” on keystone guru for priory this week
Double knights, double light spawns
These dudes planning routes like it’s April first
Lmao
I noticed raider io weekly routes last season were scuffed
Have you checked those out this season? I wonder if they’re any better
In a 10 tbf that’s pug friendly
Double light spawns ehhh
There’s no world where 2 knights or 2 light spawns is pug friendly
Can have some bad rng unless they fixed the ability to double target
If everyone is properly geared and not awful at the game it’s fine
But with pugs yes that’s a gamble
U can get double targeted by light spawn.
Pug friendly
It’s a gamble for sure but also like idk
If you’re worried just…
Break up the pulls?
Yes but the point is most people who look at keystone guru aren’t gonna be worried
They’re gonna full send that route and then wonder why the group is dead
@waxen frigate
hooooly
Is anyone using spell block a ton? I found that I get better use putting the talent point elsewhere.
yes
Check the spreadsheet on pins
Then you are not using it properly
virtually everything is spell blockable
Spell block is great but situational
use the pinned sheet
You just need to know the right situations
theres 0 dungeons where spell block isn't useful this season
Is it ok to overlap spell block and spell reflect? Or usually don't do that?
I see the pinned sheet, and maybe it’s just because I’m only pushing M10s, but I just typically use reflect or another defensive. Maybe I’ll see the diff if I really send it for every thing on the sheet…
In 10s yeah it probably has low value because nothing hurts
Can u live the tank busters that are 50/50 melee and magic with just spell block/reflect? Like uhhh +15 swamp face smash
Ok that makes me feel less dumb. I have no aspirations of pushing beyond KSH
i mean you should be using it regardless
I can imagine that at higher keys things hurt a LOT
its a tool, its free, and the alternative to it is virtually nothing
I’m going to try it on my next priory and see how it feels
I usually pull the 4 defenders and the right knight pack, chaining into the second knight pack as it pats back to the center. it works at 12/13... definitely not the most lust-efficient route but it works with pugs
Follow up question :
I have the WA for spell reflect, but could not find a reliable one for Spell Block. Does one exist that you guys have had success with? Or should I just know when it’s needed?
Affirm. Will do homework.
The WA for spell reflect isn't even that good. It pops up even when things are targeting others
no you
Nimchip, how high r u in io now?
Infinity
1990\
Oh what? I thought u were one of the top prot warriors
if youre just pushing for 10s, "this mob looks like it does magic damage" will probably get you 70-80% of the way
nim is simply the discord demon
Ooo
This is definitely me. I’ve been farming priory 10s and it’s time to push the rest
this is true
Do we think prot warrior will eventually be equal in top 100 with vdh when everyone is max ilvl?
Being 1990 doesn’t mean you aren’t a top warrior. It just means you didn’t push keys
yes, i lied, im 1476
That's the year I was born
That's twice as much as me
Nim you don’t even have all 10s done!?!?
im 5k rated in yapping
Ping the monk main canned fish enjoyer
