debating between buying a tome and a weapon on the bear

#

already went myth tome for warr

lusty grotto
#

i dont think that gif will ever not make me laugh

#

its so stupid

undone beacon
#

i need to get nitro just to make it my pfp lmfao

lusty grotto
#

lmao

coarse latch
#

i did my first time ever tanking in tw level 58 okayge

almost died weird

sick sentinel
#

should i use last stand if i go big too or rly just when my health drops and i realize i need the 30%

lusty grotto
#

there isnt really a specific case, but the latter might be a good pick

#

its also good to use victory rush / impending victory during it

#

since its HP based

#

and IP since its cap goes up with total HP

undone beacon
#

i didnt play prot in s2 of df, did ppl like the last stand based tier or nah?

mighty valley
#

it was fine? pretty strong

lusty grotto
#

yeah it was decent

mighty valley
#

not exactly rich gameplay, you just played bolster and pressed last stand on cd

urban portal
#

last stand is inherently not a good defensive

#

requires a bunch of external stuff to make it decent

lusty grotto
mighty valley
#

it's a relic of old world tanking

undone beacon
#

just wondering if baking that bonus into a talent on the tree would make LS more interesting overall or if it would just be a bandaid on a bullet hole

mighty valley
#

i don't think we need more medium cds we press every time they're up

undone beacon
#

fuck u i want three more of em

#

last stand, first sit, middle squat

mighty valley
#

press em in order like ffxiv

undone beacon
#

i actually want them to be empower spells like evokers have

lusty grotto
#

anyone know if there's a way to hide cell if youre on tank/dps ?

undone beacon
#

and each one buffs the next

lusty grotto
#

or where's the option to do it

undone beacon
#

I was told by guildies that use it that there isnt one but

#

I kinda doubt

lusty grotto
#

hmm

undone beacon
#

Apparently Quazii's cell profile has some code for it

lusty grotto
#

yeah but quazii's ui is running only on it

#

im using it on healers, but i have to manually disable it every time

#

for tanks and dps

undone beacon
#

ah gotcha

#

hmm, then yeah idk

#

i dont know if theres a native feature to disable for certain specs

coarse latch
#

how much harder does time walking tanking get at level 70?

lusty grotto
#

🤷‍♂️

#

it scales so 🤷‍♂️

#

you will just have more talents

spice iron
#

Just checking, is House of Cards and Tome our two go-to trinkets, with Bomb Suit as our defensive option in harder content?

lusty grotto
#

tome + pace

#

or HoC + pace

#

or pace + bomb suit

#

HoC is in the dinar list because its not farmable, except for once a week

spice iron
#

Any general guidline when to pick House of Cards over Tome vs other way around?

lusty grotto
#

Tome is better in ST

#

they are interchangeable though

#

HoC is better for on demand burst, so any bosses that have damage amps favor it like Vexie in raid, or Momma, Voidstone, Coin Operated Crowd Pummeler, etc

#

Platinum Pummeler, etc

#

and read the explanations

spice iron
#

I do have the explanation up, but it really doesn't give very nuanced information when the only words of value you have to go for is "extremely potent"; "very powerful"; "the best"; and "extremely powerful"

lusty grotto
#

it really doesnt matter

#

any combination of the 4 trinkets is good

spice iron
#

Sim does say that House of Cards and Pacemaker are my best options for AoE, and Tome + Pacemaker/House of Cards are essentially identical in single target

lusty grotto
#

how are you simming AOE

spice iron
#

5 bosses 1m30sec

lusty grotto
#

ok good

#

then you go with the sim

spice iron
#

And single target as 1 boss 5m

lusty grotto
#

right

earnest cove
#

Layouts can be chosen for roles, spec and content you are in

delicate coral
#

i can get myth track seaforium would that be better to get then Heroic House of Cards?

lusty grotto
#

its higher on our list in wowhead, so yes

#

means it sims higher

earnest cove
lusty grotto
#

i have everything set up on elvui

#

i dont want to migrate stuff

#

really dont need it

#

i just started healing again after a huge while so i figured i would move to cell since vuhdo is a nono

#

or outdated

Fair point

Hi everyone I usually play tank DK or DH sometimes paladin too. I'm starting to approach Warrior protection.Following the guides sometimes I run out of rage or any Skill to press. I apply Always be casting to every class I play. Is the warrior different or am I doing something wrong?

grizzled orbit
#

is this viable

safe kestrel
#

While still leveling prot does it make sense not to have high uptime on SB or am I missing something

patent scroll
#

Yeah, leveling is ultra scuffed for a lot of specs, most tanks included

safe kestrel
#

What specifically makes level 80 have 100% uptime possible?

ocean smelt
#

Haste

patent scroll
#

Haste, this talent helps until that point

#

Also the +2 seconds from Enduring Defenses

jagged pier
#

but cant tell without logs

safe kestrel
#

I'm just following the Archon prot build and that one has "Into the Fray" instead. I guess that's mostly for higher key levels?

how do you log e.g mythic+ dungeons etc...? so i can check my parse?

ruby elm

ty

sharp gale
#

Basically you enable something in network, then you type /combatlog to turn on (we mostly use an addon for that), when you finish your dungeon if you don’t live log (I don’t) you open wcl in your game and upload the latest log

#

Dont’ Forget to delete your logs on your computer after uploading them / or once a while, because they can take a lot of space

ruby elm
#

that true, thank you. I want to see when i start doing m+ and raids how well i play the spec 😛

Anyone having issues with resto druid hot aggro when gathering larger pulls? Had some issues when I can’t tag all mobs immediately that they instagib the druid due to hot aggro before I can catch them

solid sun
#

Not really, and I don’t think Resto HoTs are crazy aggro generators, so even if they started healing me earlier than necessary and a couple mobs aggroed onto them, seems like a tclap or a roar or even a revenge would solve the problem

sharp gale
solid sun
#

Are you noticing it all the time or only in really big pulls or what

mild river
#

I got FD 17 and i'm no NELF. It's imperative to start using skips at this level, right?

patent scroll
#

Maybe if the Resto has Natures Vigil up? 🤔 But yeah shouldn't be an issue any bigger than other healers usually

sharp gale
#

Imagine your route takes 10% more time bc next key lvl, if you had 10% remaining in 17, you will time the 18

toxic gyro
#

Fighting shit like bubbles on 17 would be troll af. Or mini bosses in top.

sharp gale
#

You scrap time by removing pulls / if you can’t find somewhere to delete a pull then bubble skip it is

#

You also have to account bubble will do 10% more damage, maybe your healer will cry if you do bubble then sleeping guy with the casters after him

frosty mango
#

Aka the “starfall dilemma”

#

But one tclap should be enough to prevent that

umbral falcon
umbral falcon
frosty mango
#

Charge first pack, clap, charge second pack, revenge, leap to third pack and clap, body pull fourth pack and revenge/clap as you converge to center

#

Roar as they all close in

#

I usually aoe taunt there too

umbral falcon
#

I resort to aoe taunt to ensure the healer doesnt die, but optimally I would like to keep it for bomb casts. I pull similarly to how you say, but there’s usually a couple of the further back mobs which are not hit with clap or roar

frosty mango
#

That pull in particular is pretty shit, I usually bring a mm hunter for work and flood

#

But you can get it all you just have to be aware of your tclap range

#

Doing it without getting hit in the back is the hard part

sharp gale
#

You can mass stun if you really want to secure aggro, keep the mass kick for the casts

frosty mango
#

I just did it last night without a hunter and it wasn’t bad but I can see how it might be tough if you don’t have a lot of gather experience playing colossus on war

#

It can also help if you tell all your ranged to stand on a marker

#

That’s how we handle floodgate - ranged stands in one place then packs all converge to a known point and it’s easy for you to get all the threat because you know where they’re going

umbral falcon
#

Yeah, guess the hots just highlight any flaws in my pulls better than direct heals

tribal wharf
#

if its up to me, most times i take a priest or paladin healer

#

depending how well they hit time hitting fade/bubble

#

doesnt druid have some drop aggro shit? could just be rogue brained lockpicker

#

but i think druid >cat > stealth> vanish?

#

even thought that is wrong

frosty mango
#

If the healer is getting aggro to the point they die it’s a tank problem

tribal wharf
#

also name

lusty grotto
#

ok yogi

tribal wharf
#

im serious

#

shield charge in dark ages vs oof my head

#

which by is like 80% the way there anyways the 2nd one

patent scroll
#

The only case where healer aggro isn't your issue is on the first pull of Priory if some Boomkin/Hunter decides to camp at max range and manages to get the sharpshooter jumps there

frosty mango
#

Genuinely still not an issue tho

#

Just heroic throw them as you move in

#

The dps might die but then they’ll be back in you

#

Hunters do be max ranging though

#

I’m forever pinging hunters

lusty grotto
#

i have had more hunters come to melee than any mage or ele shaman

#

in the past i would agree with you but idk what changed lately

coarse latch
#

I wish I could say it's because more people were playing survival but it's not true sadga

round pendant
#

fotm mm hunter pickers have actually been pretty good

#

genuinely shocking

#

How big a loss is not playing spell block nor spell deflect? (I hate them)

fierce raptor
#

Massive

lusty grotto
#

huge

#

spell block is a huge defensive

#

its so big, that you shouldnt use wall with it

#

crit spell blocks can be 100% DR

fierce raptor
#

Spell block is worse ams but still crazy good

#

Well maybe not worse ams bc it has reflect

lusty grotto
#

if RNG favors it

#

huh

#

spell block doesnt have reflect

fierce raptor
#

Spell reflect my b

#

Not spell block

lusty grotto
#

oh

#

i mean its a 25s cd

#

vs 1 min

#

and can reflect, 20% MDR without reflecting

#

so i wouldnt exactly say its worse, its just different

fierce raptor
#

Yeah true

#

Do spell reflect/block interact with aoe spells?

lusty grotto
#

they can

#

depends

#

MDR on SR does

#

reflecting depends

#

if it has travel time it always works for reflecting or deflecting

#

Spell block, it depends if its spell blockable or not

wicked pollen
lusty grotto
#

but most dangerous shit this season, if not 90% of it, is spell blockable

#

can take a look at our sheet

#

which is pinned

#

which fun build lol

wicked pollen
lusty grotto
#

that being said "hating" SR or even spell block... is a new take

#

i dont think ive heard it before

wicked pollen
#

who hates spell block

#

wtf

lusty grotto
#

why would you play that

wicked pollen

#

egoing keys

lusty grotto

why

wicked pollen

lusty grotto
#

no battering ram with our tier

wicked pollen
#

#

lusty grotto
#

TL isnt doing anything for you

#

wdym

#

we play rav regardless

wicked pollen
#

what is tl

lusty grotto
#

thunderlord

wicked pollen
#

oh

#

aligning woth demolish

#

lusty grotto
#

it aligns still

wicked pollen
#

lusty grotto
#

no

#

not really

#

youre desync'ing it

wicked pollen
#

what i swear it never aligns without

lusty grotto
#

look at your cds

wicked pollen
#

i also havent spammed prot

lusty grotto
#

demolish comes up first and demo+avatar are literally less than 10s behind

#

without TL

wicked pollen
#

usually its other way

lusty grotto
#

that shouldnt be

wicked pollen
#

demo like 5s before demolish

lusty grotto
#

untalent TL, talent battering ram

wicked pollen
#

im prob doing bad

lusty grotto
#

youre scuffing yourself, our tier is built around SC

wicked pollen
#

i think its still more aoe

#

but ill try

#

if i play again and remember

solid sun
#

HR instead of in the fray is a dps loss too isn’t it?

lusty grotto
#

thats our build

lusty grotto
#

its only DPS loss if youre talenting it when you already have the required min haste

#

but its not if you dont have the min haste

wicked pollen
#

ik thats the build

#

i just dropped everything to do damage

lusty grotto
#

talenting TL is a dps loss

#

the only reason you want it, is for the DR on extremely high keys

#

Nome did the sims very early in the season

#

our standard build is the highest dps

#

for aoe at least

round pendant
#

eh not using spell block isn't a huge loss until higher keys

#

I don't use it enough and I do fine

lusty grotto
#

huh

#

oh you mean the other convo

#

they might as well get used to using it, its a defensive

round pendant
#

yeah it's worth learning a few spots in each dungeon to use it

#

cause it's op

lucid mica
#

Yo, at any point do we need to skip the pull before azerokk? I got super destroyed bc i never drop stacks (my bad obviously) but it was just a 15 like how tf do i live this in a 17

wicked pollen
#

i cant really pick much else for more damage

round pendant
#

but there's lots of keys where I just don't press it cause I'm bad and never bothered learning those spots

#

and it's still fine

wicked pollen
#

and soothe

round pendant
#

but not recommended even by me

wicked pollen
#

i forgot to pick rend

#

but still

lucid mica
#

Im nelf

wicked pollen
#

ik i have enough sb uptime with hr alone

lusty grotto
#

enrage soothe

#

also parry

#

stop wearing versa

wicked pollen
#

pretty sure dropping 2nd wall is a lose if i use with demolishes

lucid mica
lusty grotto
#

enrage soothe

#

and run on jumps

round pendant
#

This season has so much spell blockable stuff but most of it is targetted stuff that just tickles the tank anyway

lucid mica
#

Aight will do!

lusty grotto
#

spell block is massive enough that you should respect it

wicked pollen
#

surely more demo roar uptime is better in aoe vs battering ram

lusty grotto
#

that and the SR MDR is the reason we're not "weak to magic" anymore

wicked pollen
#

but am i right in hr for less uptime

#

or equal

can also spell reflect it tho

You can spellblock the second boss aoe

why would I do that though

i just stand still on kultharok too

some uptime but it griefs the shit out of the healer getting the dispel

No it doesn’t there’s no dispel during the aoe

#

Yam may be a little skewed on the perspective because they have been doing a ton of keys with a holy priest

#

No shade no shade

#

Offering context

frosty mango
#

Oh yeah

#

Well that’s your problem lol

round pendant
#

nah I only gained this perspective after healing at 630ilvl

frosty mango
#

Holy priest may be the only healer that struggles there

#

But holy is dog water for m+ anyway

#

It struggles everywhere

round pendant
#

nah it's fine

frosty mango
#

No it’s terrible, objectively

#

It’s the only healer who has a mastery that has zero functional impact in m+ and you’re basically playing your spec with one arm because of it

#

You have no kick, no dr mitigations, no group wide recover, you have to stand still constantly, your main “cooldown” is shit, I could write an essay about how garbage the spec is in m+ comparatively

#

Just because Jeff Gordon can win nascar gold in a go kart doesn’t mean a go kart is great for nascar

#

Similarly just because a few savants do well with Hpriest doesn’t mean the spec is fine in m+, the data tells us overwhelmingly it isn’t fine

round pendant
#

what do you define as "do well"

frosty mango
#

3400+

round pendant
#

lol

jagged pier
#

buddeh thinks top .9% is doing well

frosty mango
#

But playing it at any key level, while viable, doesn’t change the fact that relative to other healers it’s just poop

#

Completely lacking

round pendant
#

so holy is objectively dog water because it struggles in the top 1% of content?

frosty mango
#

No it’s objectively dog water for all the reasons I listed above

round pendant
#

I mean it's objectively not built for m+ and should be buffed/tweaked because it's weaknesses are awful

frosty mango
round pendant
#

Healer balancing is always scuffed but it's like saying pwar is unviable because we were like 3rd or 4th in a couple seasons

frosty mango
#

Yeah but Hpriest isn’t the same as pwar

round pendant
#

There's fuck all pwars at 3400 too compared to vdh

frosty mango
#

It’s mastery is breaking the class for m+

#

And blizz can’t buff it without Making the class completely broken in raid

#

That’s horrible design for a healer and it’s why holy has been poop in m+ for like ever

round pendant
#

I am a certified holy priest hater btw

#

I just don't think it's not viable

#

it just feels like shit

frosty mango
#

I didn’t say it wasn’t viable

#

I said it was relative to other healers poop

#

How do we measure “fine” if not relative to other healers.

round pendant
#

though I guess it feels bad if a spec isn't doing so hot because of numbers and not because something else is seen as the meta

#

like pwar vs vdh

#

pwar is more than capable at doing 3400 but all the people wanting to go that high just pick the fotm

#

😔

#

Holy is just playing on hard mode

frosty mango
#

Tbf there’s 10 times more pwars at 3400 than Hpriest

round pendant
#

I think that's just because hpriests can just change spec

#

rather than making a whole new class

frosty mango
#

I don’t think so, maybe a little

#

But it’s been the least represented spec as a whole in m+ forever

round pendant
#

yeah I mean holy sucks

frosty mango
#

Pres may actually be lower currently

round pendant
#

but for like kujo leap before dispel

#

I struggled at 630 in a +7 to top people up

#

and the tank los'd me

frosty mango
#

As holy or disc

round pendant
#

as disc lmao

#

holy would have been easier in fact

#

but I'm undergeared

frosty mango
#

You shouldn’t struggle there even at 630, unless it goes over 4 leaps in which case I guess maybe

#

But that’s in a 7 and I’m talking like 16+

round pendant
#

ye I mean I'm objectively bad at healing

#

just saying I felt like I was getting a bit griefed by the tank by him sitting in the aoe

frosty mango
#

Just need more gear to carry your dps brethren

#

If the tank is eating the aoe and needs healed then yea he’s griefing you lol

round pendant
#

My friend got bottle service on holy btw

#

0 issues ever since

#

They simply need to make that ability a holy priest ability

frosty mango
#

Trinket is goated for m+

#

For every spec imo

#

It’s super nice on mist when you gotta get out of melee

round pendant
#

It fixes the major weakness that holy has

#

you can move and aoe heal up rot damage

#

it's so nice

frosty mango
#

It does an obscene amount of healing with high haste

round pendant
#

holy feels like it's just missing one cd (espescially if you don't play oracle)

frosty mango
#

My monk has 30k haste and with the focus tea haste buff I’m getting like 30-34m healing

round pendant
#

giga

frosty mango
#

The fact that a trinket is just divine hymn with a lower cooldown and 4x the healing is kind of nuts

#

But I digress this is the prot channel not the holy channel

round pendant
#

yeah I agree

#

my friend refuses to play disc yet complains every season about how holy always sucks

#

lmao

#

but it's not like it matters, none of us care to go further than the rewards

patent scroll
#

Hey there was at least a season in SL where holy was good

vale escarp
#

doesnt holy deal big damage atm? atleast at +13 the look fine

round pendant
#

big dam, terrible burst aoe heals (poh being decent again helps a bit), runs out of gas super fast and has terrible mana issues

frosty mango
#

Which can be hugely problematic

round pendant
#

would be nice if holy fire had like a penance-like thing

#

where it'd spread heals to friendlies

#

maybe cast holy fire on friendlies for a nice hot that spreads damage to enemies too

#

could be fun!

frosty mango
#

I think the primary issue is holy nova is your main dps filler and requires you to be in melee

round pendant
#

honestly, delete holy nova

frosty mango
#

Give holy purge the wicked and have holy fire spread it

#

Then no holy nova needed

round pendant
#

my friend would hate that

I support

#

has anyone here run 17+ ML with a MW monk? i've done 17 ML to help friends a couple of times now and never died to third boss, but i had a MW and i could not stay alive, i even had to overlap wall, last stand, and bombsuit for one phase of autos...

frosty mango
#

Rixxa is shit no matter what but he didn’t struggle to keep me up there

patent scroll
#

I assume this isn't that MWs first time in high keys?

#

because if it is, the playstyle changes quite a bit for MW when you go high enough

#

because you have to actually use your amps

lusty grotto
#

obligatory: did you use spell block

#

cause it def isnt mentioned there

next pasture
lusty grotto
#

okay just making sure

next pasture
#

we also had no brezzes because he died twice during trash

#

but my health straight up was not going up, hence the triple overlapping defensives

frosty mango
#

If you weren’t using cooldowns properly that would make it very hard for a mw in particular to keep you alive but at that key level he would almost certainly need to hardcast you during her damage phase

#

If he’s just slamming melee it’s not gonna be enough

next pasture
#

yeah, i know for a fact he didn't cast anything

patent scroll
#

Well, depends on the health of the rest of the group

next pasture
#

that's what i was wondering, like if he had to actually cast something

patent scroll
#

AT works kinda funny when you have less than 5 damaged targets it can heal

lusty grotto
#

i thought target count dependency was fixed for MW

next pasture
#

i pulled the machine with the boss so maybe that's why?? everyone else needed healing so i got none?

lusty grotto
#

oh wait youre talking about friendly targets

patent scroll
#

Last I checked it was still in for AT, as in it will always heal 5 targets worth, even if there are less than 5 damaged targets

frosty mango
#

But yeah if the monk was not using brain it could be a very tough fight for you

In my experience pug healers are fine

it's always the dps players throwing

and then yeah, flaming the healer lmao

Ah, you haven't seen me heal

The best one this week is the guy/girl couple in cinder who said “this isn’t how they do it in the mdi” when tanking ipa and I said “dps are also doing more than the tank in mdi”

Poor girl she was very mad and said some mean things to me

I admit my response my toxic

The moment when people think there pug 12 should be pulled like the mdi teams

I mean I'm up for some time trial/MDI pulls

I kinda just w-key'd my way to 3000 this season so didn't bother learning any skips or better routes

I think it's a reasonable response, someone throws shade, throw back

They always without a question end up with a dead team though

so I don't think I can get to all 15s

Tbh at this point you can probably w to 15s

I mean I didn’t say shit the entire key, your boy is doing great dps I’m down to carry you

#

But don’t shade me

#

When you’re doing 2m overall at 675

The only thing stopping you from timing all 15s is not knowing what will kill you without a defensive

my last key had a dude doing 900k overall

yeah that was on my disc yesterday

frosty mango

12s are the sweet spot right now

Everyone farming crests

Once you hit like 650 or so

12 might be tough at 630 because the tank is gonna yolo pull it

idk 650s have problems in 10

I pulled four packs with the last mini boss of priory last week the healer was very upset

Then double radiance also can do some aoe work

And your weal stacked penance too

You’ll get used to the tools the more you play

round pendant
#

it's kinda annoying how smite consumes weal and woe

frosty mango
#

The hardest thing for me as disc this season was understanding recover, knowing what to press to react

#

Like knowing I gotta send double radiance or people will die and then trying to unfuck the rest of my rotation as a result

#

This is why I enjoy pwar

#

Far less thinking involved

round pendant
#

I hate bad tanks as disc

#

They take up so many of my shields that I could use on myself or a squishy dps

#

and make everything harder

patent scroll
#

See there's a very easy solution for that as disc

#

Just don't spend the shield on the tank outside of busters

#

If they die they die

You go next in 5 seconds

that's what happened when I did that

theres 0 reason to do that pull on a 12

Idk, good disc practice

It's a pretty easy pull though

the miniboss before the last boss hurts more and you've got to do that anyway

slender bison

Did you do it or just theory about DPS and tank playing perfectly?

I've done it as tank

#

idk healer pov

slender bison
#

I'm talking as disc

#

Since you said you wanna learn

round pendant
#

was just speaking about the necessity of the pull

slender bison
#

All pug tanks will do it after 12. So heal smart

solid sun
#

Wouldn’t you do that pull in a 12 to start practicing that pull

patent scroll
#

I did that pull the very first priory (think it was 8?) I ran on my warr

slender bison
#

We're talking about disc pov not tanking practice

patent scroll
#

As a healer I've had to deal with that pulls ultrachad version already

#

Crazy 3 AM russian tanks

#

But it worked

slender bison
#

What I'm trying to say to @yam is that disc is cool until you reach some specific pulls like priory here or big guys hall in rookery. And them you learn the hard way that you need more practice to heal

#

If you consume X2 premonitions too early your pug will most likely die

Sure others have figured it out by now but I can do Sidestreet Sluice in just over 4 minutes on t11. Which means 45 runed crests every 12 minutes which convert into 15 gilded every 12 minutes. Is kinda boring and grindy but works. Nice for when you dont have the boys on for +10s or higher

yeah you'll probably have to run your key up, i imagine pug gamers are pretty picky at this point in the season

especially since massively geared people are crest farming 10s to TURBO BOOST

they wont be

Technically it is more optimal to be in bstance if you're not at risk of dying

dense mango
#

"Camping in either stance permanently is typically not the right way to play. Instead, you want to swap back and forth as the situation dictates."

lusty grotto
#

its more raid oriented

nocturne spindle

naw its very much implying you should dance

pallid quiver

which is not really true

but it's so minor and in higher keys there's basically no scenario where you wanna give up 16% dr

We can't tell them that because we don't know their situation.

I don't disagree, but playing devils advocate... people (esp those new to tanking) don't always understand what is or isnt dangerous, and dps brain compels them to OPTIMIZE BIG NUMBIE so they ignore the nuances
