actually this one is more recent i gotta recheck my settings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFpHIAe_MS4
I've often wondered why I have to change to 1080P in raid. I have a 4070 super and 7800x3d
Like it should be more than powerful enough to play wow
cause wow still runs on 1 cpu
and its cpu bottlenecked
its not multithreaded
also you shouldnt swap to 1080 ever
Ahhh
thats fucking wild
im on a 3070ti
and a 5900X
my brother runs 3070 natty and a 5600
0 issues
Hmmm I don't know. 2K raid is so laggy. I don't really track FPS tbh but it's probably like 20
I don't have any issues anywhere in the game other than raid
Thanks for the video though. I will definitely do what he recommends
we run in 2k since
3 expansions ago
im on 2k since my previous rig which is about 4-5 years ago
getting fucked by umbric is my favorite pass time
do i just have to let the polymorph go thru to be able to kick missiles
hug walls
Lol before this computer I had a GTX 750 TI, I wasn't playing back then
If I'm a heroic gamer only. should i get titan of industry first?
yes i can?
what should i just my first chip on then?
not a heroic piece lol
can you do all 12s?
not currently new to tanking
you should hold then
okee dokee
there's nothing you should buy
❤️ ty for your help!
your only options are
heroic HoC which you can get from raid anyway
and heroic bomb suit
thats about it
if you cant get any further progress
heroic jastor might be an option as well
https://litter.catbox.moe/r9bkwn.mp4 many men would call this pull unreasonable i think its efficient
i thought u got the guards when u double back

Being a tank is so fun!
ooh what about the "tome of lights devotion"?
you dont buy hero pieces w/ dinar end of story
Ty prot head!
if ur leaving out towards trade district are u not wasting tons of time doubling back to start rp
more time than is saved
you go to start RP then clear to the other entrance so no
yea but walking slow
so mount
yes
bruh
this 5 mask shit about to be so easy
this was the critical information
my ass has been walking. everywhere
litemount wasnt letting me mount in there 😭 so i thought u just couldnt
litemount been shitting the bed lately idk why
litemount works for me
i push it it says "you cant mount here"
must think im trying to g-99
should i set it up differently
no wait, g-99 would say you're in the wrong zone
so why wont litemount work 🤔
idk i havent touched that
wtf do u use litemount for then
but it works for me
i wanted a better way to have randomized favorites
i installed litemount like 5 years ago
or more
same
I'm still struggling to kill stuff fast enough to not use my 2nd orb before Shaw... 672, is that normal ?
pull big in trade district without forgetting u pulled a tentacle and getting stunned challenge
impossible
I pull the whole church district, then the whole dwarf area
I usually arrive at dwarf boss with 160 sanity
then if I don't get a potion, I need an orb midway after 1st dwarf quarter boss
damn good to know lol
😭
dont let that mf summon
shouldve just went in with coolies and killed him faster tho
Yeah! Which one of these should i pick first? I don't have any of those on mythic or heroic
damn getting to shaw without using 2nd orb IS hard
i wonder where im losing the most time
or if its just elite extermination diff
wonder if i need to find more potions somehow
anyone got any tips for the 2nd boss in ML?
2nd? u have next to 0 responsibility
i feel like i don't get lucky with parry/dodges im getting absolutely cooked by the bleeds
send demolish on every big add, the rest is up to DPS
Slam and Whirlwind arent used as Prot correct?
If you mean Shield Slam and Revenge then yes
No I mean whirlwind and slam 🙂
And I can’t read
no
Aren’t is correct
DFC has uses for it if people dont kick candle king and/or if people dont refill the candle in Darkness
visions also has uses for it
ok. ty
what's the strategy for Oblivion WAve on the last boss of Rookery?
huge melee range
stand back
its massive
you can melee him from africa
you can just sidestep it
at that distance
ok so even in a melee group i don't have to be right on top of him
you only have to move in when he places pools down or w/e
i was in a position where i had null upheaval puddles everywhere so nowhere to side-step
you can just spell block it there
pop a cd then
you can avoid most of them
does spell block block it entirely?
the ones where you can't you just use a defensive
ok, and how do i know how far i can be to not trigger entropy?
its block so no, but there's always a chance you take 0 damage if crit blocked
same way you do to test melee range on any mob
but the train tracks on the sides are a good indicator
thats where i usually stand
then i move in and to the left with puddles down
ok cool ty
yes spell block, its a huge cd for magic damage and we have a list for whats spell blockable
thats pinned
2nd to last pin by Sense
yeah the google docs thing, i have it. Didn't know if it could still be useful for other stuff
oh right
sometimes though the attacks have 2 parts (one magical and one physical), read the notes cause it may be listed as green as regular block for a physical part and yet still be spell blockable for the magical part
Do we always prio ignore pain in the rotation
never
we prio Shield Block
shield block is your most important thing to maintain
IP only if at 70+ rage to burn rage, thats it
Oh. Havnt play this season so much so been using both shield block and ignore pain
doesnt matter which season
that has always been the case
since forever
since the times of Shield Barrier
Oh. Thought ignore pain was like prio 2 to stay alive
@lusty grotto where do u los ur first pull if the buff room is closed
where the boxes are
ramp makes casters go up the ramp, just go down the ramp to the side of the boxes
wait for them to get up, then move to them with whatever is left
shouldnt u just go to trade dist first and clear guards/dwarven entrance when u teleport back then
sure you can do that
i just wanted to use whatever sanity i had
since you can just restore it by rushing the trade district mini boss
and there's usually lots of pots in cath square anyway
MT uses same trinkets as colossus?
theres no reason why it shouldnt
U can just watch my vid linked the other day, i do literally nothing special dont even go into rooms 
DO you have a link? I don't know where to begin finding it 😄
How do you get better with spell block? Im totally shit using the button at all 😦
U press it when u take blockable spell damage
Is moauntain thane viable in 12a
Its viable in all key lvls
Didnt we play it last season
Yes
I would take either pace or tome and try to loot bombsuit until you have the next (if you are NA I would not take something 2 days before reset tho)
I will never loot bombsuit because im never gonna raid 😄
So i have 4 chips right now and you need 3 per item right? So my plan is to get 1 on wednesday (im EU) and another in 10 days
I guess my concrete question: If my goal is to try to push my highest possible keys, which 2 trinkets out of these possible options:
- Myth tome
- Myth Pacemaker
- HC Bomb suit
- HC House of cards
1 caveat is i guess that i can technically get the m+ trinkets in the vault in the coming weeks, but since PoE is coming with a new league soon that is going to be a non-issue
Is that going to be a non-issue because you aren't gonna do keys anymore lol
Would you go tome/bombshell or pacemaker/bombshell if you want the extra absorb in M+?
Hey all, n00b question here.
Does the damage absorb from ignore pain come before or after blocking?
Ie if I used shield block and then ignore pain would I block incoming damage first or use a % of the ignore pain buff?
Mitigation always applies before damage is taken. Hit goes out, initial damage is calculated, mitigation applies, shield effects take damage, then damage is taken
Thanks legends, I’ll take a look.
Am i doing something wrong if i'm getting roughly the same overall dps out of Collo and Thane?
Granted i'm picking up revange talents in my Thane build.
Collo should be a fair bit ahead if played correctly right?
Yes, you're probably doing something wrong. There are not many talent differences between the two; our trees are not flexible.
is this tooooo much?
But Demo shout applies before damage goes out
do i spend my dinars or sit on them til i can be arsed to clear 12s or take alt in to raid once we reclear?
DK vibe
I'd wait until you can buy myth shit
Demo shout would be applied in the "initial damage is calculated" step as it is affecting the damage the enemy does to begin with.
Would this be a "better" weakaura than the spell reflect one (which isn't specific to your chat for alerts)
Adapted from https://wago.io/TargetedSpells. Shows any spell targeting you specifically and makes a noise
thanks for the video
In case you never fixed this, you've likely got your mount set to either priority 0, or not selected to ground/flying in Litemount. I had the exact same issue
What’s this suppose to do??
In general as wars do we just shoot for roughly 20k haste then sim for what secondaries give best dps since defensively they're all fairly applicable? Or is it just a straight up play your way thing for us.
Alert you specifically when you are being targeted by a spell
So tldr I should be aware of shield blocking first then refreshing uptime on ignore pain if it’s getting lower % … before a large tank buster hit // bigger trash pull? Is that right
For best min/max aspects.. or does it really matter THAT much
I’m pretty new to warrior, still learning a lot. I usually play prot pally or VDH
just keep up shield block always and forever
Oh wonderful thank you, seems handy
press IP just when you need to prevent overcapping rage and you’ll be pressing it enough
genuinely rarely need to think about it harder than that
We are not a hps tank
I've not tried it I've just got the normal spell reflect one but that isn't specific to you being targeted
Thanks for the tips fellow gamers
Ps mind sharing that WA when you get a spare moment @grand lodge
Sim is always best, but personally I can't play under 20% haste. Just feels really bad imo
20% is what hard number roughly..I'm dumb
I'd be able to check if I was at my pc. Currently around 14k haste I think, and it's like 25%?
We don’t do % here
Ratings meaning the flat number of stat
^
I've just trickled over 16k Haste (16.2k to be precise), is now the time I migrate to ITF?
When you put your cursor on the % in char panel
You can but you might have the bad rng window meaning tier set doesn’t proc
I did my first 13 and timed last night. Kinda aimed to mirror a war on Murloc bobas. Felt pretty good. Just feels bad having a jastors sit in bag when I'm only rolling 2 hero rings. Ill sim when I get home and see if its worth running. Appreciate the input. Yeah I've always gone by hard number/rating current 19k crit, 20k haste, 1800 mastery, 7k vers
I get rid of the written warning and just have it play the sound file "Reflect" instead
If you do not high enough keys, you can take ITF with that, you will notice what I’m talking about / I don’t think you’ll die
I swapped at 16k
Me too and I dealt with the bad rng, by pressing a def cd
But I still grabbed haste even tho sim was not happy
I throw open the spreadsheet and have it open on my second monitor
Not generally
It’s more useful as dps
I want to start pushing keys on war. Been just the guild 10s guy for awhile now starting to move up. Ill play around with Sim and see if i can drop some crit/haste for a bit of mastery
How an healer can tag in a +12 and never use pain supp ..? How it can be legal
When did you need a pain sup ?
In Rookery 12, I triggered BSV on the big pull right after 2nd boss, when we fell. Arcane mage pulled the half room, out of SW and LS. So I think I wanted a pain supp this time for example x)
In pug I never relay on mates because it's a random metrics, but didnt expect that an arcane mage will ALWAYS pull another pack that I planned :/
Yes when you start arcane you need to watch out for that orb
When you're playing with a disc, you dont want she/him to use pain supp on you to help you tanking ?
Is it normal to see only 1 cast of pain supp in a whole run ?
(real question)
Yes but the healer is learning to play too
you shouldn't need any in a 12
Hmm y ok
Y that’s why I asked when
When i'm playing with premades I always ask if he's got his cd to help me make big pull or nah
Okok then, next time i'll only count on me ^^
Yeah how could he know
or did you randomly expect the pug to do something your premade on voice does
Ah yes no, maybe I should
I just expect that an healer can use defensive on purpose when he see my hp drop
it's a 12
When I play DPS with external defensive or healer, I always use something when I see ally's hp drop
if they're progressing that key they're probably confused what the spec does
You are supposed to use externals défensives before that point, but yeah, the dude is learning to play
and you also usually use externals based on tanks toolkit
Maybe, i'm not judging. I'm just asking if it's normal to expect this or not ^^
Entry push key lvl you have entry lvl players
Normally i expect nothing, just when something went wrong, yeah I expect that my mates can adapt (like when arcane pull all the room for example)
Seems a legit point of view
Ofc you don’t’ expect someone in a +2 to be a top player for example
And as healer it is harder to learn bc you need damage to learn
Don't worry guys, soon we won't be able to see other people's cooldowns and it'll make things better
Somehow
I think there is a world between expecting someone being the top player in a world and expecting pressing a button ^^'
yeah its not in a 12 i can guarantee that
Really dont understand why they made this choice
Doing 12s and over is top players of wow
you can clear 12's comfortably at 640-650
most players doing 12's right now are at 670-675
I'll clear you comfortably
you dont know my discord
But maybe you're right, I should clear them only counting on my own to survive. I should learn how to play depends on class that are with me
Is it not the disc in your bio
Pretty glad about the run tho, 87% SB uptime despite the full wipe on 2nd boss
Almost no rage waste
Even cast revenge and SS
you're not on eu...
and you dont speak polish which is like half of the population there
You do need to play around the classes and players with you bc you do the route
See watch, colour
brb learning resto
Nailed it
The only thin I dont do : skips. Even with a rogue or priest with sooth etc, because everything can happens and messed up.
But yes, I should learn to play with classes. I adapt with rogue to let them fufu before pulling for example, but never played with arcane mage before this run
If you have lot of casters in your comp+ no kick on healer you have to account for that too
You should learn healing profiles of trashs and bosses too
How do yall deal with first boss in priory’s bleed in 13+ keys? I’ve been able to handle the first three or four with my own stuff, but after that I just and getting giga chunked
Since you might do multiples packs, you wouldn’t take more than 2 prio heal mobs with meh healer
(Even just 2 prio heal can get you in trouble in some cases)
If you see your healer struggle on the first part of priory, you don’t do the full second boss room pull
(Talking about pugging mid keys / you shouldn’t be pugging at all in very high keys where you need those pulls)
Hey has anyone noticed that bubbles doesn't walk as far before his rotation start? Last week the skip worked fine as always for me melding it. Now it rotates it's spells before going far enough.
I haven't changed how I did it before at least I don't think I have
Do you all pull the next pack when everything is dead, or just when there's like 1 or 2 mins left? Kinda realizing the timing is on us, or does it not matter really?
Depends. If I'm doing a lazy 10 and watching nba playoffs while tanking I don't really worry about chain pulling.
But when I'm trying to speed things up I do be chain pulling
Are you talking about Bubble not moving before the spawn animation finished ?
I think it is, I don’t use that to log tho
Yes, it's /combatlog
ty ty, I have to log dungeons myself now :(
When I started I had a macro to type that
um no it spawns i taunt it normally walks to the back wall with me i leap+ meld we skip. this week it barley walks so it starts aoe bnefore theres enough to get through
Are you waiting for it to end the rp?
I think so it stops moving before taunt
You have three major cooldowns to rotate - avatar and two shield walls. Rotate those. You also have demo shout for one which can be paired with a big ignore pain and last stand.
The dwarf racial will remove one.
At higher key levels the ringing ritual mud trinket is very strong here because it can be used as a cooldown and the dot aspect increases the cdr, but bombsuit also works well
The fourth/fifth pierces will be the danger area, after that your cdr will be pulling most of your major cds back up.
Dont be afraid to send a bunch of ignore pains on this boss as it will typically see 100% use.
Remember pierce is a dot, so the idea is to send your cd immediately before it hits, so you cover most of the dot duration.
If I write up like a consolidated and clear guide for this I wonder if the mods will pin it lol
Thank you for this, I’ve been doing most of that but not been treating my avatar like a defensive, I’ll start working that into my brain
The inverse works too - you can wall to bring up Avatar if you want to send demolish with avatar up - if you know you won’t need wall
Not for that particular fight - just saying that talent has a lot of value a lot of people aren’t using
Okok I thought you were talking about on spawn / bc he doesn’t move until he is done spawning but he starts his spell queue
If when you used to do him he moves 1 m and make the puddles, it’s bc he is tagged during his animation
gotcha okay ill try waiting longer
Would you guys use The Jastor Diamond as prot if u have it on hero track or not worth in m+ for proc because of bad stats?
The wowhead guide has a section on this
If you are confused on wtf happened in a key, vod and logs.
It makes the decision tree very clear
@frosty mango isnt that section only talking about if u should buy it for chips. i am wondering if i should use it if i already have it in the bag on hero track
but maybe i am blind
Oh
In that case just sim it
It either will or will not be better but that’s going to depend entirely on the gear you currently have available to you
is it nooby to just have ravager as a macro that casts at your feet? im thinking it would be good to use to generate rage before entering a pack like the wowhead guide says, but i find it kinda awkward to use the "drop it at location" default way it is
No - I use something like this
I have two, one for @player and one I can target
I use them both as needed, the important bit is making sure you can still target it when needed because being unable to do so will hurt your ability to gather
by "target" do you mean the default setting?
Yes, the reticle
ahh i didnt think about that, yeah good to have the default too ok ty
I have a macro where if I press it, it’s at me, shift press is the target reticle
ohhh do you ming sharing that?
or is it just keybindings
hello, why do people do not use mountain thane? I thought the dps was lower than collosuss but I just feel it stronger. I tried my first 15 jumping from a 13 at 669 and I felt so tanky and with more sustained dps. I stopped playing the game like a month ago and came back recently so I'm not sure what changes they did to mountain but it feels awesome
They've done nothing, and it still does less damage than Colo in AOE. If you get less as Colo, you're likely not pressing buttons on CD or prioritizing TC too heavily
#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Ravager
/cast [mod:shift, @ Player] Ravager
Most people aren't using Thane since its theoretical strength in survival isn't really applicable in high key designs, as Immovable Object covers the damage profiles coming in very well, and its baseline defensive strength was brought up towards Thane's level with S2.
Thane does remain easier to play, since it's generally not too bad to throw Outburst on Thunder Blast, even in ST, meaning you have a buffer on making mistakes on that end, and it's a lot easier to always have the same button prio no matter the situation
very cool, i had no idea you could include mod in macros
Additionally to what Luerce said the value in Colo isn’t necessarily that it does more damage, it’s the profile - Colo can load a ton of damage into demolish which has a lot of value on priority target which shouldn’t feel understated
got it
For example in priory on higher keys you don’t want four paladins up forever and it behooves you to kill them as quickly as possible before your healer gets overcome
optimally speaking is way better on the higher keys
and with better players XD
thank you for feedback
Thane can do more ST, technically, since the better rage econ means a lot more execute value
uhumm
I’m not sure I’d say way better but I think most people would agree it is better
I feel like I have to wait till I have full charges to press collosuss
and sometimes I feel it off with avatar
You will never not have full charges except for on pull
If you're waiting until you have full stacks, you are desperately lacking in crit or not pressing revenge other than on pull
And it will naturally desync from avatar eventually in most cases, as both have forms of CDR that have different layers to their application
You still just send on CD, as more casts is better than optimized casts
If you are coming from thane into Colo one of the biggest things to untrain yourself on is pressing clap. As Colo you rarely press clap
though if you have a spare shield wall charge, you can pop it for the 4s of avatar it gives when running immovable object
im trying to only press clap when i need to generate rage and dont have slam or revenge, or other cd, is that basically the only time?
also to get rend running
quick question...what embelishments should we be running for m+ (15s)
but otherwise yeah, you kinda feel out how much you need to press it to keep as resets coming
barely matters but double thread is generally preferred
double thread with crit? or versa?
Whichever sims better I guess
ahhh yeah tyty
I need some external input on this run. It's far from perfect (please don't laugh at the mount fuckup at the start), but it shows how I end up after the dwarf quarter boss sanity-wise. Given that I need an orb soon after that, I'm not killing stuff fast enough. Is that my gameplay ? My gear (672) ? The miniboss behind Shaw for example, feels like he's taking forever to die compared to the other vids I've seen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8R54lalzYU
Watching
So far, you wasted like 1/3 of a sanity bar for no reason by orbing mid-pull
@echo egret yeah from this video, that was easily the biggest blunder. Don't orb mid-pull at low sanity because you only regain half the sanity you do when out of combat. So you ended up only getting 2/3 of a bar of sanity from that orb instead of being full, which would've made the difference between dying on shaw and killing him pretty comfortably.
My question remain : if feels much slower than others, and where does that come from ?
What I would've done is stopped prior to that pull, orbed, let it tick a bit, then pulled them into it
Pulls and speed seemed fine to me 🤷
Well when things go "perfect", without a potion or two, I end up orbing far too soon before Shaw, thus at great risk during Shaw.
Do 672->682 make a massive difference ?
Well, 10 ilevels is ofc a significant difference. It would be easier. But that doesn't mean it's impossible at 672
Okay.
For what it's worth, unless you're just trying to have the bragging rights of doing it this week, a 5 mask clear will be much easier next week due to different masks, more talents, and org just being overall easier
you guys are all gigachads
It’s really a matter of bragging rights !
I understand completely haha
Vers
It legit doesn’t matter between vers and crit
Doing 17s with like 1k vers total without an issue
Just use the one that sims better
Oh I see
@chilly brook what's your strat for first boss priory? That's the one I have most difficulty on
Rotate CDs /shrug
Also, crit simmed better for u with 1k vers?
Ooo
Vers might sim better for me now but I also play arms in raid which more or less motivated the crit choice to begin with
But try to have a CD rolling for every pierce armor, ask for an external if you can’t cover it yourself
Because there's two tank busters, the divine judgement and the pierce armor. But not enough defensives to rotate for all. Can I just do demo shout for one of them? I think I do spell reflect for every divine judgement
Use mud trinket
SR every judgement
The judgement itself isn’t the scary part of the fight
The judgement can still hit for like 7.5m
So avatar or shield wall on every pierce armor and demo shout with it if it's up, and spell reflect every judgement, no need for spell block cuz it doesn't work, and don't overcommit to IP even if I get scared?
On the 16, I didn't use mud and died twice, but 2nd death was 1% so they finished him
Yeah judgement is smol
Avg 5.88m which like yeah kinda seems big but most of that is going to get eaten by IP
So like maybe a 3m hit
I see
The best talent ever seeing me doing Floodgate and Motherlode again (this time we have a DH)
Looks like plka took it in a 20 ML
I mean it’s not a terrible talent but you’re def giving something up for it
Best Served Cold with high Crit parries is good, so yeah
Idk dude, we're not all streamers
Plka also didn’t take the talent in his 19 just his 20
You don’t have to be a streamer to play well 🙂
Cringe
How is that cringe?
At a certain point without a team you plateau
That is widely considered one of the worst talents in World of Warcraft’s two decade, twenty year history.
If content is being done several key levels higher without those talents then the talent isn’t the issue
I’ve done most of my keys pugging
And don’t talent it
I pugged those on 16 and didn't take that talent, so prob not necessary
I have never taken that talent in a 16
I do not believe that has anything to do with me not having done a 16
Thx you!
is there any way of changing DBM or big wigs or any addon really to give some sort of warning when Rixa and Mogdul are using their tank busters in motherlode? I never know when they're coming out and have just bricked a 15 motherlode by letting her truck me for 10 million during a transition
damn it’s been a while since I’ve been shot in the gut by an apb take, I’ve missed this feeling
It’s her auto attacks
They’re magic
You could look up something that shows enemy swing timers? It’s her auto attacks that destroy you
It’s when she’s not casting (including on pull) that you need to be worried
when she’s doing the spray cast she’s doing absolutely no damage so healer can catch up and your CDs can tick down
If she’s locked in place, you’re safe
If she moves with you, you’re gonna get owned
yeah she came with me and it as early on in the pull so the mech was still up and it aoe'd
didn't wall in time then she trucked me for 10 mil
i hate that dungeon
Spell block works
i fixed it by redoing my rules, idk what i did different tho
every priority is 1
idk what u mean by the second point
I can't get the first pull right in Prio as a tank https://keystone.guru/route/priory-of-the-sacred-flame/leePgIF/pug-friendly-raiderio-weekly-route-2-to-12/1
What order do I use my mobility and threat generation to gather all these mobs quickly?
the left patrol pack with the knight in that pull just isn't going to be near you at the start so you can't if you do that pull
wouldn't advise pulling both knights anyway
think the majority of people pull the first four footmen into the right side knight patrol, then grab 1 or 2 of the centre packs and the first miniboss
but you can do without grabbing the miniboss especially at lower keys coz its a lot and you've got time
in lower keys as prot warrior, it's often more about your dps knowing not to go nuts until you've actually gathered
Just tellin it like it is. Always have- always will.
what the FUCK is this threat meter from
its pissin me off i didnt have it last night
well I finally did this m0 priory what an ordeal
lol
so much time watching videos and prep time only to get it done in like an hour lol
that's the wow default inbuilt dps meter, added in like, cata? or late wrath 🙂
any idea what the setting is?
They come every time they arent doing anything else
It’s very predictable, if they aren’t casting something they’re shooting you
Iunno, most go on the right side with 1 knight and mini. Charge, clap, leap, shield charge, heroic throw the 3 next to fountain (especially the sharpshooter or they'll do a big shoot to random players), then charge into mini
Then I avatar once I charge mini and drop ravager where the others are running, demo shout when more group, troar, etc, then shield wall the next shield slam
Tbh this is a shit pull and you shouldn’t do it.
Two knights is rough for heals and invites a lot of risk
Positioning dictates that sharpshooters will be everywhere
That’s my opinion but I dunno why anyone would recommend a pull with two knights and bad positioning
90% of pug keys double knight is just gonna get you wiped
I haven't done double knight since first week of expansion when that was kinda normal (not with mini)
Topicx has some good fideos on YouTube of prio and first pull. I tend to jump in a M0 solo as a warm up and do that pull before signing up for a prio key😁
Is it acceptable to delay Shield Charge / Spear / Demolish when Avatar or Demo Shout is about to come off colldown ? if yes, how long ?
Not shield charge but sure the other ones. I don't run spear though. Maybe 5 seconds to delay?
Why not shield charge specifically ?
tierset CDR
Gotcha
Do you try to go for more ss resets during luck of the draw?
i.e should i hold off on casting a demolish during it
the only time you should change priority is if it's about to run out and your last cast in the window will be a shield slam that reduces cooldown
otherwise proceed as normal
(i made this up but it's what i do and im goated)
Idk if im trolling holding demo shout/demolish slightly on dailcry
to align with his spear throws
because fuckers hurt
Yeah the rest of the instance is like
i hold avatar to use it as a shield wall, too
wait when do we get the delve belt thing
hopefully never
true
You aren’t trolling
Damage is great but you don’t do any if you’re dead
Doing what you gotta do to make a rough encounter easier or less risky is good play
yeah first time i made the giant mistake of thinking i can facetank a spear
with just shieldblock
xdddd
it's just one boss, small part of your overall damage in the key
remember that god intended demo shout to be a defensive
it's only an offensive cd because we are sinners
well
I mean you can facetank the spear it’s the dot that kills you lol
blizz made a talent that causes it to be a dps gain
DOnT SaY ThAT
wait can you dwarf it
God intended for us to be dps but the world wasn’t ready, that’s why they deleted gladiator stance
the light burn my skin now
We’ve been living on cope since wod
You know what
for some stupid fucking reason
i thought taht was called shield bash
my bad average warrior moment, what the fuck is a booooook
huh
yes
It’s a PvP talent no ?
but it wasnt taken from us lmao
OH MY GOOOOOOOD
it just turned into pummel
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
and yes shield bash was dstance exclusive
Who remembers throw down
you know what, thank u skyhold, i used to wonder if i was stupid, i no longer have to, its been confimred
Welcome to #protection
rip throwdown
Where we focus exclusively on dps
i somehow think vdhs are worse
in that regard
considering their biggest dps cd
is also a defensive
Well, one of
How does someone get 3M overall as a prot? i've done all my 15's and up until now im only get 2,3-2,4 M, makes me frustate
do low enough priories
I got 3m earlier because
Mana full, more!
im in tome farm jail
mfw i forgot signet can drop in tank spec
why not just buy it
IT CAN?
yes
it can but its garbage
all i know is i watched the boomy and mage
die twice in the same pull
no kicks landed
not my problem
also genuine question is thre a way to keep the archers more grouped
i mean the problem was the group leader inviting 2 caster kicks
besides los behind something
yeah
so the sharpshooters jump to the group
2 casters
thats it
Large pulls, efficient pathing, good outburst usage
good cooldown usage
Having dps that lag or do poor damage will drag your overall down
i do see someone posted that 3M overall, 15/16s already hard enough for healer to heal the group, i just dont understand
But imo biggest differentiator is usually
a) pull size
B) good cooldown and pot usage (getting demolish etc inside of cd windows)
C) good outburst usage
D) having good shield slam utilization and a good healer so you can send revenge
they dont pull extra shit unless its already in combat
thats points not damage
and yeah idk i always see nearby packs get pulled
with boomies in group
The other big thing for getting higher dps is just committing. If you’re gonna pull 5 packs, pull them. Dont pull 3 then wait 30s and pull two more, that completely ruins cd efficiency
Well, for what it's worth, if it was actually them pulling shit, they'd be pulling it from a lot farther away than "nearby"
Do you have arcane mages in your group perchance when the boomies « extra pull » ?
has to be in combat for starfall to pull, period
yep
no but might have been the ret
orbs will def pull without combat
Every time I’ve ever had a boomy extra pull when I watch the vod or look at logs every time it’s a mage pulling and starfall immediately ripping, or a body pull/stray
Or do you tank packs 5 yard from another one perchance ?
It just seems like the boomy is pulling bc starfall will immediately start hitting it when it goes into combat
You deserve the extra pulls
20yd is like the normal aggro range XD
lightning killed my internet
Send lightning photo or fake

Dunno we can basically solo control all the dangerous pulls
You gotta let go of worrying about things out of your control
If they wanna stand not in melee and get murdered by sharpshooters that’s on them lol
Isn’t that just sacbrood
its a haste stick
Nah I don't know that guy
im gonna do this +12 with degenerate pull see how it goes
still cant reach that 3M, even pulling the 3 pack after 3 pack, seems not even close
i would assume that 2,5-3M overall is on the different dungeon, either my rotation is wrong, or thats on the lower key
hope this answers that question
mystic touch and skyfury make a difference
also, cinderbrew
think the damage profile is similar, maybe you right, i have to find a good comp to play with
i guarantee you its not the comp
but it helps
that wasnt the lowest key either, being a 14
cant do much with details screenshots
i mean Cinderbew that number makes sense to me, you can pad the number, with lots of bees, and all that, what im dont understand, is that i read here that you can comfortably doin 2,5M-3M as a prot, which makes sense before the nerf, i've seen the vod in 17 says, the number is on 2,2 -2,3 M at most
so i start questioning myselft
cant really pad much we're softcapped at 5
logs would let us know what youre doing wrong
i.e. are you syncing cds etc
sec
Cool, all my tributes are done
so i saw an option in my phone to connect to cell data via usb
plug phone in, pc get data
and this is totally workable damn
i can game on this
Man I think I need to send you my internet connection, you will think I’m a peasant
my usual is like 800 down and 30 up when hardwired
Very adequate name
doing keys atm ill take a look later
at least ur up speed is fine 😭
SHUSH
You have the worst download I've seen in 15 years but you still have better ping than me 🙂
rural france ping 😎
oh... ur fr*nch...
that explains it
a lot
nvm i cant even say that cuz france has been way cooler than the US lately
what are your ping in wow ?
ima check that rn
57
yeah i'm logging in to check
I am not on a home server though
so its a bit high
I live in the midwest and I play primarily on a west coast server
GL!
it's maybe like i was on moscow servers while being french
ima actually drop down to just mask of multitudes and figure out my route thru mage quarter
cuz i lose so much time there
Yeah Los Angeles is 2600km from me
There are west coast servers? I though all of them are in chicago ?
Chicago, Los Angeles, and Sydney
crazy i was about right with distance 
are there any keys where disrupting shout is useful? i feel like another aoe stop is good but ik you all said the warrior talent tree is kinda maxed out rn
its useful in basically all of them, i would say
Dfc it’s really good there too
what would you get rid of though to pick it? im using the m+ col build that doesnt have it - just the default one
ooo i see, kinda sad to see less revenge damage but ill work around it
its not a whole lot of damage
Real pro move is to not summon Hogger until you are ready to do 5 mask attempts so you can get a free 150 sanity before going into Mage 
i didnt do hogger
ahh ok, thats good to know thanks!
Also.. those thunder glyphs were bugged yesterday. I logged on and they were in my inv as if i never applied them so i applied them again did a /reload and it works nicely
cool thunder effects
was scared of having to destroy my shard lol
nim route, 2nd orb right before umbric
Assuming it would work anyway
bad pace maybe
did you watch the quazii video for graphic settings, i think it was you, right?
no thats on pace
yeah it was me, im gonna do that now actually - havent had much time today
Eh, orb before Umbric is a good spot though because you get 150 from Umbric then a quick 150 from Dwarven mini boss
And Umbric can have a bit of unavoidable sanity damage if his queueing sucks

So whats the helm enchant we run 🤔
Twilight Dev ofc
nickname fails yet again
hahaha how are you Nim
i am good, how are you
He asked and then in voice he was like "I had to do it because of Nim"
Im good, just had to come in and see waht Pinky was talking about
So the nickname worked but backfired 

you should be finre
its just alleria with a full bar
but
alleria can fuck you and will fuck you as melee
The key to Alleria is that you are PATIENT
And LoS any time she does a mechanic
So she runs to you
Should i pick up Pwar just so you and Pinky get some meme as heck logs to look at 
YEAAA
did he do it?!
i choked so fucking hard on alleria
i took so many sanity hits lmao
i legit found like 7 sanity potions, carried by rng

just died in a delve helping pinky

every time dracula let us know. filthy frank plummcorp records dracula flow 1 dracula flows 2 3 4 papa franku this shit ain't nothing to me man

might still be rough
Do we know what we will need to do to get greater enchant?
wym the item
isnt it an account wide unlock
Pretty sure its acc wide unlock
im only getting plate tho
i need leather
or a weapon
Ah damn, isnt acc wide
the nightfall event gives warbound gear too but its also just whatever type ur wearing
let me get leather on my plate wearer blizz
or let me set my loot spec to mistweaver as warrior
Tbf the item is kinda useless now that I got my paladin 80, i managed to do a full clear run right away, and it gives champ tracks whatever i have a mask or not
maybe i just got unlucky w/ plate drops so far
then
anyways im thinking abt org already
surely u go valley of spirits first
gonna need 1 run to remember
its the only one that loops around back to valley of strength
but ig looping doesnt matter w/ portals
spirits -> wisdom -> port -> drag -> honor -> port
perchance
or honestly just walk from wisdom to the drag, depending on what trash is in the way and what objectives u need to do
Yeah but it's still faster overall; you just run back through
perchance
The only hard part of Org is Rexxar
And that's only because we can't CC adds
But disrupting should make it a lot easier than last time around
You know something I didn't think of @lusty grotto? I wonder if k'babs work lol
Nah, Nibbles said they dont
Oh, sadge
I was wrong; looking at my old vision videos, you port back after Honor and go through the edge of spirits to get to Wisdom, then run back to Spirits
well, not port, but you know what I mean. Totem back
at that point why not just do spirits tho
and port back after wisdom
Because it's more running that way. Wisdom is really small so the run is basically nothing. If you go spirits first, you're running all the way down through spirits which is a long area, then going all the way back to get to wisdom.
Especially since wisdoms last boss is right by the entrance to wisdom
ic
It's probably not as much of a time difference as it feels but you also have to consider the flying time back after Wisdom if you use the totem since it's not instant like Stormwind is. (asterisks are using the totem)
ooooooo
Left is my route. Right is if you went spirits first
Man I had completely forgotten about k'babs lol
Why does Armored to the Teeth seem to boost base armor and not bonus, yet still adds to parry as if it was bonus and for all intense and purposes is basically bonus when it comes to parry?
Also, it would seem the value of P is 544360 from what I can tell?
And... does this interact with anything else in the tree?
he means K value
I don't remember the specifics of it but they had to change armored to the teeth because it was doing some OP shit when they first introduced it
By double dipping
P as in parry rating from Strength
oh 🤷♂️
Was throwing me off for a bit until I noticed Base was increasing for that talent where as FV is applying to bonus.
As for the parry math it's basically bonus but it's being shown as base.
Haven't ran into that until warrior. Just found it odd.
why are these calculations important
Yeah iirc it was changed to make it not do weird shit with reinforced plates and focused vigor, but idk. Never really concerned myself with that level of math since it really doesn't mean anything
Because one talent would feed the other, then it would go backward and feed the first
it was made apparent because of aug
Oh yeah, I forgot about that part
TC stuff. I build sheets and what not. Generally start with stats and these numbers find the dodge formulas and numbers just to have them hashed out.
Oh did you change names 😄
Eh, I do it for my own crafting sheets mostly, and just to understand interactions of talents.
It's important to shove simple information into people's faces or they don't get it 
Hence my nickname as well
Don't get it as in don't receive it, not don't understand; wasn't trying to shit on people there
It helps with scripting stuff too. I have some plans for something and this stuff will be needed. Anywho, thanks for the info 🙂
so when aug went live, Blistering Scales was used on arms/fury to increase strength
mmm
I swear if you're trying to script a rotation bot....
lol nah I just do TC stuff
or he could be TC WA dev for the big two
It will replicate combat mostly and use that to more or less make mitigation modeling easier for me
more like simc but yeah 😄
AMR likes to claim they can sim survival
not really any real reason to sim mitigation
They are suprisingly decent for having their own math but now I'm not associated with them.
anything else is whatever
But what if I really like knowing how a target dummy will damage me in a vacuum
mit was interesting in the vanilla days, its not anymore
AMR working hard to give me the real important information
You can model some things but the reason I want to script it over say using a sheet is because I can use iterations and various modules to do tons of testing more simplistically.
Side note, am I crazy? I could've sworn you could rez people in old visions without an orb
You just gave up half your sanity to do it
I was trying it earlier and started wondering if I was mandela effecting myself
but why? mitigation is basically all baked into the class
it gives you a text message when you die of sanity about it, too
Yeah I don't trust any of the text though because it also implies crystals still exist, and they definitely do not.
However, I have a possible explanation for that
It seems potions do not show up until you have the first row of talents learned (not sure if it's a specific talent or just having the whole row unlocked that does it). I'm curious if that means we will start seeing crystals after we get the 2nd row unlocked.
Testing talent values/stats other things just getting ideas where things are or using it as a tool to check simc and stuff for sanity.
going back to base armor
the change was made due to the fact most outside sources of power cannot factor in base armor
like sacles
Was base strength in this case but honestly I didn't check how it was applying to armor.
which is why earthen racial is also base armor
hmmm
fel spikes, ironfur, those affect bonus armor (gained from gear)
scales affect bonus armor as well
but we already have people doing that?
neither of those interact with base armor
having AttT being non-base armor would mean we could spiral out of control, case in point scales
Eh, I'm a curious person I like to do my own research and toying around with things. Just something I enjoy doing in this game.
Hey if he wants to have his own personal math nerd stuff, more power to him
I can lose myself in a good spreadsheet project so I get it
I played a lot of nerdy book games like Shadowrunner and stuff 😄
Sometimes this stuff is almost as fun as actually playing the game.
That's a low bar :p
😛
The part I found odd was it was applying to base str. If I said armor above it was just a lizard brain auto type.
it would make sense, its a scaling guardrail
Yeah, that does make sense the way you explained it.
Didn't see it on the other tanks I've done but this tank actually has a fair bit going on with crit/haste/armor
Nah, it is TD. Aight, ya can go back to talk about armor o7
I'm gonna be 37 in a couple months 
@lusty grotto just changing the contrast up makes the game look sooo much better. I did all the changes quazii recommended so I'll see this week in raid how it feels
trust, they are worth it
Contrast is interesting. I used to play with hdr but never again.
Who is the ST boss this tier?
and view distance in raid/dungeons makes a huge difference in itself
sprocket and mug'zee ghash
tyty
but sprocket most of all
I wrote a wa to auto change those settings based on content it's on wago.io
pretty sure I can't link in class discords
i believe i have that installed
