#

It worth haveing 1 of each diff gem with a algari Dimond?

lusty grotto
#

not really

sweet summit
#

for damage prolly not but for fast you gain a bit of fast so that's cool

past laurel
#

kk ty

lusty grotto
#

the effect is super minimal

sharp gale
#

i'm missing 1, the kill all enemies you literally killed everything ?

lusty grotto
#

its do all areas

#

not kill all enemies

#

oh no, you right

sharp gale
#

yeah i have 4, it's just this one

#

here we go again i guess

lusty grotto
#

yeah the part i didnt know about that one is

#

if the toymaker, bike, guys guarding the other mask counted, rat, etc counted so i just killed everything

#

even the ground tumors

#

i did it with the bolstering mask

#

thank god this shit is warbound holy shit

ivory snow
#

I dont care what anyone says, the yellow undermine plate mog goes so fucking hard

lusty grotto
#

oh i can buy your favorite item, happy

#

loollll

#

what a piece of shit

#

kinda sad its only weapons for these vendors

#

im pretty sure we can do 5 masks this week easily

#

well not easily, but with the elite extermination tribute

#

getting it maxed is still a grindfest

#

i have level 2

#

so i guess not a grind fest after all

lilac widget
#

any twilight dev enjoyers in chat

sharp gale
#

i found the mask of kill everything

#

i'll try a 4 mask now, to see if it makes the grind shorter

lusty grotto
#

thats the part im not sure about

sharp gale
#

idk i literally killed EVERY SINGLE MOB just to not fail

lusty grotto
#

yea

#

same

sharp gale
#

i don't remember what was the crystals for

lusty grotto
#

i havent seen any

#

i just know black potions are 100 sanity this week

sharp gale
#

i member collecting all them i don't remember why

lusty grotto
#

purple bad

#

rest are buffs

sharp gale
#

it's random each run the good potion

lusty grotto
#

you can check which one is good and which is bad at the very start

#

like in bfa

sharp gale
#

yep i member this trick

lusty grotto
#

the corpse that had the 2

#

Hey folks, would you skip getting a myth upgrade for your gloves from heroic and replace your already myth wep with a leech wep? (In the hopes that I'll get the gloves from second boss sometime soon)

#

Basically this:

wispy moth
#

I'll take ilvl upgrade

#

ilvl > all

#

479 leech is less than 1% if I remembered the ratio, so not really worth than more armor, stamina, stats etc

tall tide
#

Fair enough, I was thinking myth 2nd boss is ez puggable and I won't see a leech wep again

#

But I think you're right

#

Cheers mate

woeful trellis
#

Do the raid and then pick ☺️

tall tide
#

Yeah that's the reasonable thing to do I guess 😄

jagged pier
#

i guess if u going for a 5 mask run if u want hero weps

#

shame really hoped they would be a little more challenging

wispy moth
crimson furnace
#

good morning, what is the head enchant taht we are choosing??

shell tide
#

Yeah im curious what enchant to purchse for m+ twighlight devastation big Beams?

jagged pier
#

nope still ritual

shell tide
#

ah i just looked in the updates

#

void ritual s cool

grizzled orbit
#

can i do all 12s at 650 ilvl prot? 😛

jagged pier
#

sure if your comfortable doing the content at that ilvl

chilly brook
#

It’s based on each run

#

Whatever color is next to the dead alchemist is the bad color, and it’s randomized

#

Just pick up the WA and type in the color of the potion and it tells you which is which based off of the bad one

chilly brook
sharp gale
#

You guys did 5 masks already ?

jagged pier
#

no cause its pointless but u could

strong forum
#

Oh

sharp gale
#

Tbf I’m gonna use echoing void on mug tonight

#

I failed 4 masks but I giga trolled it

marble shadow
#

Would I be better off upgrading the shield to G0-4W4Y Crowd Repeller? Or upgrading Heroic to Mythic track Wick's Golden Loop?

#

DPS sim goes for the ring but not sure if shield iLvl is that big of a difference

ionic nimbus
#

Shield Ilvl > all

marble shadow
#

Expected as much, I'll go against the sim today then and put that vers on another crafted item! Thanks!

sharp gale
marble shadow
#

Thanks for the heads up ^^

sharp gale
#

Okok it was to be sure okayge

marble shadow
#

It's appreciated :D

gleaming knoll
#

ill assume nothing changed from yday to today and we go void ritual still?

jagged pier
gleaming knoll
#

okay ass beams do sound better than stats

#

which one would i have to pick for ass beams

#

twilight dev?

jagged pier
#

yes

gleaming knoll
#

Aight ass beam it is, ass beam convined me im an ass beam believer

jagged pier
#

also

gleaming knoll

unfathomably based

sharp gale

#

What is the difference in performance for void ritual and twilight dev? Cus void ritual is literally the most boring corruption

#

Mainly m+ wise

jagged pier
craggy mural
#

At work, just curious and looking forward to come home lol

jagged pier
#

smol is the answer

#

they arent big

#

any of them

#

like .7% from worse to best

craggy mural
#

Okay thats pretty balanced for a change

#

So basically do what u want unless u wanna minmax and push 20s

granite pivot
#

House of Cards vs Pacemaker for keys if my second trinket is Tome? All Myth track

woeful trellis
#

i had 2 mythic kills but my vault was hc ? how can that happen o.O

remote anchor
#

did you actually kill both or just enter on cauldron and get id for first one?

woeful trellis
#

killed both

remote anchor
#

then you shouldve gotten a myth vault

sharp gale
wispy moth
# sharp gale

It spelled demolish, revenge and shield slam weirdly your details

atleast tdev looks cool

Hey its said that echoing Is better than ritual only on Pure st But it sims more on aoe as well for me bait or real?

mild river
#

Is there any reason why people ask to pull the 3 packs to outside the church AFTER first boss in PSF?

slender bison
#

Then you can chain into one of the packs or even both with BL if DPS had CDs rdy

frosty mango
#

Which is high value considering the effort to pull them outside is zero

slender bison
#

So Visions is literally BFA with timegate inside timegate

#

Prob all Devs moved to next expac

#

And interns working on Shrine of the Storm for S3keks

frosty mango
#

Shrine of the storm, Tol dagor, spires of ascension, and seat of the triumvirate

#

S3 gonna be a banger

If I photoshopped a wowhead article saying those were the dungeons do you think I’d create mass panic

#

ALl i know is i got the enchant and stopped doing. No reason to do anymore this week. But i can see another kind of player enjoying it.

jagged pier
#

thers mounts

solid sun
#

Can’t you get the cosmetics/mounts

#

Yeah that

jagged pier
#

purple felcycle, a horse, a gpyhronm

#

a shitty other mount

solid sun
#

I got the first mask but I didn’t do anything after that

#

I’ll probably hop back in tonight

lusty grotto
#

echoing better in pure st but theres barely any fights or enocounters that are pure st

#

see my handy nickname sadge

jagged pier
#

im a simple man

#

Sense picked ritual

#

i pick ritual

lusty grotto
solid sun
#

Do we get the greater enchant next week or at the end of the tech tree thing

lusty grotto
#

no idea

#

i dont think anyone knows

solid sun
#

Oooo how mysterious

lusty grotto
#

i think everyone, myself included, is hoping that it will just be available next week

sharp gale
#

it's time to try

lusty grotto
#

ye im trying soon too

sharp gale
#

TD is with me

#

I cannot fall

solid sun
#

When you got your first mask, which was doing the full run in one go

#

How many orbs did you have to use

lusty grotto
#

bolstering is easiest

#

aka vengeance

sharp gale
#

i took any one other than 50% sanity

sharp gale
#

i died once because of bolster mask

lusty grotto
#

yeah its just damage not HP like the not-missed affix

sharp gale
#

i grabbed all other masks / did full run 1 mask with the illusion add proc

solid sun
#

Yall must be zooming

#

When I did the full run with no masks I think I ended up using all my orbs

lusty grotto
#

yeah 50% sanity is kinda aids this week

sharp gale
#

i zoom

lusty grotto
#

youve been busy happy

#

i just woke up like an hour ago but stuck on meetings sadge

sharp gale
#

tbf no, i just did 3 or 4, 4 masks full clear

solid sun
#

Have you been doing them as tank or dps

jagged pier
#

tank

sharp gale
#

both fury and prot

#

(it's way faster as prot ofc)

slender bison
#

How do high level healers even do these? The NPC helper is a trap

lusty grotto
#

i do them as tank like in bfa

lusty grotto
#

i did them as hpal in bfa

#

as in my paladin was hpal

#

obv wasnt my main

patent scroll
#

Yeah, it's just slower because you usually don't have access to AoE tools, but you just play the game

lusty grotto
#

you didnt have an npc helper in bfa anyway

patent scroll
#

Also wanted to dodge as many mass caster pulls as possible because those chunked your sanity so fast

jagged pier
#

theres an npc helper?

patent scroll
#

Yeah in the usual blizzard fashion

lusty grotto
#

yeah but ive never used it

#

i just noticed the quest, handed it in, turned it off

patent scroll
#

It's some shit that works basically as another player as far as scaling goes, but it's like a worse brann for damage/contribution to the run

slender bison
#

The handynotes BFA add-on still works lmao

#

For visions

lusty grotto
#

well no, it didnt work, it just got updated yesterday to support them

#

different zone id after all

solid sun
sharp gale
#

i failed

jagged pier
sharp gale
#

/mdt

hollow hill
sharp gale
#

the helper just give free double hp on enemies, don't take him

lusty grotto
lusty grotto
#

this happened in BFA too

#

you kill portals too fast, cant go into boss

sharp gale
#

you go there first ? i go dwarf first

lusty grotto
#

nah i do mage quarter last

#

dwarf first as well

sharp gale
#

okok i planned in my head what i'm gonna do, but each time i get hit by 1 thing and insta die

jagged pier
#

mage last for sure

sharp gale
#

(from sanity)

jagged pier
#

just go dwarf and round

lusty grotto
#

but its aids if it bugs

sharp gale
#

hogger counts as an elite btw

#

so you can make him pop to get sanity back

#

and i checked what you need to do for the bots, you need the train toy

lusty grotto
#

yeah just like bfa

sharp gale
#

i didn't remember the bots

lusty grotto
#

thats cause most classes had a cc

#

and could split them

#

but we cant as warriors

#

best you can do is fear

#

and get a few hits in while shield bot gets back

sharp gale
#

i was brew so maybe i used to just rop them

lusty grotto
#

and para probs

solid sun
#

What does the train toy do

jagged pier
#

just ignore him honestly

#

youll save more time

sharp gale
#

they give 100 sanity

jagged pier
#

go faster shruge

sharp gale
#

ok how the speed pot is called this expac

solid sun
#

Mount up

lusty grotto
#

And what you gain is a badly coded 200k DPS

actual joke that ritual is twice as much dps increase than Tdev in aoe

17%, people can't survive intermission

#

“Oh hey what’s this crawler mine doing” yeeeettt

lusty grotto
#

lmao jakey

sharp gale
#

we survive those crawlers mine but so many deaths on his charges but the 4 gaol jails with 13 ppl are cringe

dusky canopy
#

Last set of jails isn’t to bad honestly

#

Poor warlock going to be mad at me tonight

sharp gale
#

yes just have to be enoughj ppl alive

dusky canopy
#

I’m going to “forget” and kill the boss with my 15 jug stacks

sharp gale
#

and 5 can die on the soak

patent scroll
#

... Mug intermission does something if people don't literally stand in the clear blue circles and die to stun?

dusky canopy
#

With the 3% buff and 1% from helm enchant

#

I bet boss dies about the same time as 4 jail set

#

We might 3 heal now also

#

Skip the 3 set in p1

patent scroll
#

We skip that with 4 healing keks

sharp gale
dusky canopy
patent scroll
#

Have to actually stop DPS for a while because if we don't actually get the gaol debuffs the WA breaks and cba

#

Yeah, because it doesn't matter at this point. Last week otherwise we were 1-2% off and it wasn't worth minmaxing

dusky canopy
#

We were stopping dps for the finger gun and pushing during the finger gun cast once the adds were hit

#

And that’s not lusting pull

sharp gale
#

that's what we do

patent scroll
#

Yeah that's what we thought we were going to do, then we pushed the boss before finger gun accidentally

lean yoke
#

684 ilvl back with CRIT/MAST or 681 crafted with CRIT/HASTE?

patent scroll
#

Then we just kinda said to send, skipped gaols no lust

#

But when we tried again it wasn't consistent

#

So lust it is

dusky canopy
#

I’m not sure how you skipped jails without lusting

#

Giga dps apparently

sharp gale
#

with everyone alive

dusky canopy
#

I mean we Zug pretty well and there’s no way we skip 3 jail set without lust last week 680avg ilvl

#

This week going down to 3 heal and the buffs I bet we skip easily

#

Hold lust for p2 still

#

Maybe even skip last jail set or the 4 people who get it commit*

patent scroll
#

Don't know what to say, people procced for a pull

#

But as I said, it wasn't consistent enough

#

@lusty grotto what do I need to make sure I do in the stormwind version this week?

#

Isn’t there a mask that requires something from both?

lusty grotto
#

get masks

#

sw specific masks

#

use a single mask, clear old town
use a single mask, clear mage quarter
use a single mask, kill hogger and LOOT THE SHARD
use a single mask, grab mask the cultists are worshipping

#

i think the others are not stormwind specific

dusky canopy
#

That seems rather simple

lusty grotto
#

it is

dusky canopy
#

Cool beans thanks

lusty grotto
#

there's 2.5 ones that are org specific so next week

#

so you can only get 5.5 masks this week

#

edited cause i forgot the cultist one

dusky canopy
#

If it’s not annoying to get I’ll do it ye

#

Like I’m not wasting my time doing 40 hours of trash piles in undermine for example

#

Lmao

sharp gale
jagged pier
#

how the fuck does he have that u need org to do that

sharp gale
#

in 1 vision i grabbed all the things from sw

#

it's wowhead pic

jagged pier
#

oh

#

fair

sharp gale
#

you buy things from AH, you have to do 1 engineer command

jagged pier
#

i just am an engineer

sharp gale
#

(it is way faster than what it looks)

jagged pier
#

ye

#

first time i found the bike i got all pieces

polar patio
#

so you will have to grind out the mask for it first right?

jagged pier
#

i mean its not a grind at all

rough nest
#

Damn, almost had the 5 mask run

#

Is there a mechanic I'm not aware of that heals the guy in mage quarter ?

#

not the wing boss but one of the elites

#

He was low then got back to full so had to use my last sanity regen ball

Hello all

#

Which guide should I follow for prot?

lusty grotto
#

wowhead or icyveins both work

jolly finch
#

Excellent

#

I'm wanting to get into dungeons and then mythics eventually

sharp gale
#

ALMOST

lusty grotto
#

ive had mage quarter bug twice already

#

now im stuck on meetings

mage quarter bug?

#

anyone have links to mdt routes that are good for each dungeon

#

the npc / like bran that can "help" you in visions

jolly finch
#

Trying to find a decent guild that's willing to teach me tanking and the dungeons. Nervous as hell lol

#

Though the only thing I'm really nervous about is not knowing the dungeons

lusty grotto
#

i havent even killed the portals

#

this is more broken than BFA

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

my 5 mask runs are ruined

frosty mango
#

The wow made easy discord will be a good source of stress free runs as you continue to learn

jolly finch
#

That's true

#

I just miss how things use to be in the game. I Officially quit like 10 years ago. Have just come back here and there.

#

Trying to get the feeling back

frosty mango
#

Just be prepared that as you learn and you’re doing like 5s-7s you’ll have a lot of bricks and a lot of toxic people and that’s a reflection on them not you, they’re gonna survive their incomplete 7, promise. Just don’t engage with them

jolly finch
#

That's why I definitely need a solid group of people lol

sharp gale
#

yes don't interact / answer ppl talking shit

jolly finch
#

Ohhh. Question. Should I focus on delves??

frosty mango
#

Focus on your mechanical play first, shield block uptime, blocked hits - you can just walk through dungeons with no real route in mind up to like 15/16. Raider.io and wowhead offer basic routes for all dungeons.

Then focus on the meta of the dungeons. What can you kick, what can you stop, where can you Los. What’s important to kick vs what’s ok to let go.

jolly finch
#

They seem pretty cool

sharp gale
#

if you have fun why not

lusty grotto
#

sure delves are fine for starting out

frosty mango
#

Delves and visions will both help you gear up quickly

jolly finch
#

Wooo what's visions??

#

I need to look this up

lusty grotto
#

BFA content

lusty grotto
#

that got put back in just this week

jolly finch
#

Sooo many changes in this game

frosty mango
#

The most important thing to know about pwar is you must spec fueled by violence over brutal vitality always. Not doing so could spark another debate that might collapse the game and the fabric of the universe itself

(This part is sarcasm - use the wowhead recommended spec)

round pendant
jolly finch
#

Makes me wish I never quiet the game. Then id have a clue what's going on in it lol

frosty mango
jolly finch
#

Like the mess that has become professiona

lusty grotto
#

i like professions

#

and ive been playing since vanilla

frosty mango
#

New professions are a big improvement over old ones

#

They are not as complicated as they seem

round pendant
#

The crafting system stinks tho imo

jolly finch
#

They were so straight forward back in the day

lusty grotto
#

miles ahead of that outdated garbage

frosty mango
#

They still are

jolly finch
#

They don't seem it lol

lusty grotto
#

maybe cause its a lot for you to take in

#

but they are

#

both straightforward and better

jolly finch
#

True. It's overwhelming

frosty mango
#

The only difference between this system and the old system is this system enables everyone to craft their own gear, if they wanna. It seems complex but it isn’t

lusty grotto
#

i would suggest what roid mentioned aka the WoW made easy discord for non prot questions btw

#

as in general game advice

#

they are probably more prepared to answer it

frosty mango
#

The discord is pretty non-toxic and you’ll get a lot of good help

#

It’s like the FFXIV of wow

lusty grotto
#

lmao

dusky canopy
#

Oaml

lusty grotto
#

the good side of xiv you mean

jolly finch
#

Ya, I'm too old for toxicity. Though I was a huge part of old barrens chat

frosty mango
#

Ffxiv has really chilled on their toxicity crackdown

round pendant
lusty grotto
#

not really Roid

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

its still hardcore in savage/ult PF

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

yam got it correctly

#

"toxic positivity"

#

but its more like its just 2nd hand comments and garbage

frosty mango
#

I meant the Gms banning/suspending you

lusty grotto
#

oh i mean, sure

frosty mango
#

I got a 3 day ban in arr for asking someone if they were having a stroke because they started like spinning uncontrollably all bugged out

lusty grotto
#

lmao

frosty mango
#

The context of the chat showed it wasn’t toxic but I got the ol boot anyway lol

lusty grotto
#

those are some angry reports then

round pendant
#

FFXIV community is way worse than anything I've experienced on wow, ffxiv community just feels very disingenuous

#

maybe it's better nowadays but jesus

frosty mango
lusty grotto
frosty mango
#

But the game itself just general play I find people are far less toxic than wow

lusty grotto
#

same shit different day

#

right, this is only for end-game content

frosty mango
#

Tbf tho I think wow gets a bad rap

lusty grotto
#

roid is correct in that generally you dont see these people if you dont engage on this content

#

i think so as well

#

its all overblown

#

for both games

frosty mango
#

There are far more people who aren’t toxic in wow than those that are

jolly finch
#

Haha some of these world quests are fun

round pendant
#

yeah reddit hypes up wow toxicity

#

every day there's another karma farming post about how op always gets flamed and kick from heroic dungeons

frosty mango
#

Also the wow class “community” in general is almost fully not toxic

#

I’ve never been in a wow class discord and seen someone be flamed for asking questions

lusty grotto
#

its always a timewalking dungeon

#

also

frosty mango
#

Go on over to the balance and ask something simple and you’ll catch on fire for how hard you get flamed for not reading pins

lusty grotto
#

it always pulls upvotes so any bots getting prepared to astroturf on other subreddits can easily farm upvotes there

#

"got kicked on timewalking" copypastes a screenshot

#

instant karma

jolly finch
#

I'm still rocking this set lol

round pendant
#

I feel like the hyper moderated ffxiv communities are significantly more toxic than the random person on wow calling me a slur

lusty grotto
#

i woudnt say more

round pendant
#

Not saying people should be free to insult people on ffxiv

frosty mango
#

I have multiple (hundreds) of high quality posts on Reddit - both blogs in my professional space and supporting the azure and aws communities with qa. My highest karma item by far is a comment on the wow subreddit on someone’s mog that said “blursed hulk hogan vibes”

lusty grotto
#

just different

round pendant
#

but it just feels so fuckin odd how everyone's so happy and cheerful on ffxiv but the moment you slip up you get jumped instantly

#

lmao

jolly finch
#

I have yet to play that

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats just how it is, and its fine, just dont say anything

trust me ive gotten in trouble often since 2.0

yall know i dont beat around the bush in here

#

0 sugarcoating

#

i just dont type shit in xiv

frosty mango
#

speaking of bans

#

How does one get chat banned in wow

#

I didn’t even know that was a thing

round pendant
#

It's hard

lusty grotto
#

racial slurs will do it

#

but

#

now people just mass report

#

especially the trade mafia

#

and/or bots in a zone

frosty mango
#

We invited a guildie to alt raid and then couldn’t post the group because he was chat banned and I’ve never come across that

round pendant
#

or yeah, just offer free crafts on a popular realm

frosty mango
#

Uh I don’t think this dude is doing much crafting lol

lusty grotto
#

any LFR mass reporting will do it

#

or 30m raid runs

round pendant
#

last game I ever got banned from was runescape back in 2005

jolly finch
#

How did you manage that? Lol

round pendant
#

I got scammed and in my saltiness I stole someone else's item after asking to borrow it

frosty mango
#

I got banned from wow a few months ago for three weeks for “rmt” - my account has never had more than like 100k gold. Took me like a week to get it overturned

So they banned me for a week and permamuted me

crazy for a first offense ngl

let me guess

was it in the brackenhide area

No, the one with storm/water elementals for them regeants close to the city

oh nvm you said elementals

yeah i know what youre talking about

colossus is our best, but requires knowing rage management (which you should know if you play bear and do not macro IF to everything)

squishvegan macros ironfur lol

can I build full rage gen and just macro shield block >revenge > ignore pain ?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

we do not macro rage spenders

#

which is why i mentioned the parenthesis

meager nexus

would shield block >ignore pain be a safe way to play baby warrior at first before i get more comfortable?

you can parry it but that requires some crit

you cannot, you cant port to Umbric

the portal literally doesnt work

Every run I've just closed them all

youre not understanding

you HAVE to close them

or else the umbric port doesnt work

but if youre bugged, like me

they are closed before touching the packs

Right but it shows a portal still open

thats... kind of what im trying to show

portals up, 5/5 closed

Is there something like breakpoints for attack speed with haste and stuff? Does it stop increasing my attack point at some point?

lusty grotto
#

why are you asking

#

any specific reason?

#

the cap should be the gcd cap

#

but we cant get there

frank estuary
#

If more haste doesn't do anything for my aps or my gcd, then the stat doesn't matter and i'd rather gem socket crit/vers

lusty grotto
#

its not a dps thing

#

its an SB uptime thing

#

you can use other stats after around 20k rating

#

with 4pc

frank estuary
#

Yeah, more haste, more rage, more procs, more uptime on SB

lusty grotto
#

no,

#

its cause SB's cd is hastened

#

as in affected by haste

frank estuary
#

Okay, so is there a spreadsheet that has that information

lusty grotto
#

no

frank estuary
#

SB uptime doesn't seem to be a problem anyways, rage gen does

#

Whatever, thanks m8

lusty grotto

thats a gameplay issue not a stat issue

meager nexus

is earthen a good defensive/offensive race for protection or should I race change soon

lusty grotto
#

its whatever

pallid quiver
#

I have zero idea the context

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats what i meant

pallid quiver
#

If you're feeling pressed for rage, the two most common are not actually sending SS on reset and oversending on IP

#

A third factor is not sending outbursts on SS, which is something neglected when trying to push even further with the spec

mighty valley
#

a faster swing timer will give you more devastate ss resets, that's a lil something

lusty grotto
#

wouldnt make a difference if they arent managing rage correctly

mighty valley
#

sure, just saying "more haste = better rage gen" isn't a totally harebrained idea

#

are hares particularly dumb

#

why is that the word

lusty grotto
#

well i didnt say it wasnt

pallid quiver
#

Yeah, hence why I didn't say all; haste has the most affect on our rage gen as a whole as Prot War iirc

lusty grotto
#

yeah Luerce did say 95%

#

not a full 100%

round cliff
#

how much wasted rage is too much wasted rage

i'm taking luerce to court over that number

what if it's 93% and you're spreading DISINFORMATION

(It's technically possible to reach zero rage waste, but it's not the easiest thing to do while also playing well and doing content reqs)

mighty valley
#

like you charged at max rage at some point

lusty grotto

you lost 3 revenges, but thats pretty decent management

#

if not what people should be at more or less

i be charging to barrels

sometimes my shield slam is what kills a barrel then i charge at max rage

wtf even is rage actually

#

and why did it generate 60 rage

pallid quiver

Rage you gain as part of base mechanics

mighty valley

like, being hit

pallid quiver

You get rage for being hit still iirc

lusty grotto
#

thats exactly right

round cliff
#

damn i thought that shit was gone

pallid quiver
#

I believe it is also auto attacks if arms

mighty valley

it's extremely minimal and normalized

Hence why crit gives arms more rage

back in my day, you just stayed at max rage from damage taken (until your gear got too good)

Np goodluck!

Not a stupid question BTW, no need to apologize hehe

drowsy shoal
#

i just feel so lost discovering prot, didn't tanked since bfa bahaha

timber prairie
#

Hello Gamers, new to gearing my prot, mainly playing m+. Is still as listed Jastor Diamond the best option for dinar or is pacemaker mythic better? Seen a lot of prots using it

#

(Since simming damage isn't the best option here imo) 😄

lusty grotto
#

only if myth track

#

as mentioned in the list

#

and that last part is incorrect

#

because it is 100% the best option

timber prairie
lusty grotto
#

simming is only NOT the best option when it comes to shields (which should be ilvl > all) and purely defensive trinkets (like bomb suit)

#

thats about it

#

we're always simming otherwise

timber prairie
#

But isn't it that if i prioritize different secondaries (exclude def trinkets like bomb suit etc.) that it has more impact on damage or defense?

lusty grotto
#

it has impact on both at the same time

#

thats why simming is essential

#

a stat shift that sims higher for damage results in being better for defense

#

its not "or"

#

its an "and"

timber prairie
#

So higher Damage usually = Higher defensive?

lusty grotto
#

usually, except for the cases i mentioned

timber prairie
#

Doesn't make that much sense to me at first but i believe you that you know more about it than i do 😄

lusty grotto
#

just hover over every secondary

#

it has both an offensive and defensive counterpart

#

crit provides, well, crit, but also parry

#

versa provides, damage increase and damage reduction

#

mastery provides attack power and crit block chance

#

haste provides lower SB cooldowns, and hastened hits and GCD

#

the latter being the most important secondary, mainly for the SB cd being hastened, but obviously for the offensive reason as well

frosty mango
#

Also rage

#

More haste makes you more angry which gets you more rage (more autos/devaststors)

timber prairie
#

I really never thought of it that way but makes perfectly sense

#

appreciate the answer!

lusty grotto
#

sure thing

pallid quiver
# timber prairie Doesn't make that much sense to me at first but i believe you that you know more...

Basically, all secondaries are close enough defensively that differences are negligible. In addition, defensive strength is dictated almost entirely by damage profiles, as well. Things like parry become useless if literally 100% of incoming damage can't be parried, for example. As such, you can't really super optimize for tankiness too generally, since it heavily depends on how and when damage is coming in, which is determined not only by the encounter/dungeon, but by your comp, play, etc

#

They all have good defensive effects for us, so you might as well sim for any non-unique gear slots (Mostly trinkets in the defensive end, like Nim mentioned). You can't even really go wrong by just throwing in highest ilvl

mighty valley
#

also, simming for survival is basically impossible due to the infinite contexts, so like

#

gotta make a decision somehow

timber prairie
#

Alright, i see

#

Gives me a bit of a different perspective

#

Maybe i am just damaged because i played prot pala before (What are defensives?) and now going to a fairly tanky spec
