it should
it always did
its just that there's only 2 fights in the entire game where its relevant due to being pure ST
and even one of them isn't strictly pure ST (mug'zee)
so we go with the stats because its a cleave game
Hmmm true i was suprised i thought twilight dev would be more ST than echoing
why would you think that
just seems like it would do more dmg lol also rogue discord was saying echoing was proccing way less than the sims said so they dont run it like they were initially supposed to
yeah its bugged
TD seems like it would be more ST?
it wasnt in BFA
infinite stars / gushing were better
but even stars was a huge sim trap back then too
TD was always for aoe padding
ya i came back at the end of BFA never got to play much with the corruptions
and this... so called iteration is just garbanzo beans
in comparison
it was never good in ST
well there was the like 2 weeks when Echoing was stupid in BFA, but yeah
These corruptions are more like a tmog
they look neat, they're all practically useless (just have one)
pretty much
Man so many angry game stoppers
120 people outside when I left and I got the 35th out of 42
Made me wait so long
close enough to a switchblade, that means he's challenging me to a duel
Prepare yourself, child of the fruit, for my wrath shall spare you no relief
nice!
Nice thumb!
Luerce I bet you can beat you in legally distinct melty blood

thanks it does tricks
which game we referring to with that
because i can think of a few
š“ back in my day... we did tricks with our lighters
but i meant i was going to bonk fruiter with one of my metal sticks, to be real
Bro you put lighters in yourā¦




Mall ninja vibes
Oh gosh
What was that game you were advertising?
I think it was called like
Unalive University Act Cadenza
That sounds anime enough
did you say blazblue
Nono not that one
Iām pretty sure they were saying Uni for short
It has like 9 people who play it and was at a fighting game event
lol im just messing idk anything other than what the mainstream knows about fighting games
Luerce challenged and now canāt answer because theyāre already back in the lab practicing their combos
id be scared if i was challenged by Luerce, ngl
Iāll have you know about 15 years ago I was at least above average at fighting games!
i dont doubt it
*spams Ken leg sweepā
And then the successor which was jumping forward with a heavy kick into a leg sweep and alternating between the two until someone wins
@frosty mango did your daughter obtain that grain?
he said he got one i think

There were over 200 in line total and well over 100 when I left
42
lmao
I think there were like 15-20 people by the time I checked out and left and there were 35 total units
Which is way more than I expected them to have given my backwater ass location
We got the kart bundle plus I picked up deltarune for her
That I totally wonāt play myself
definitely not
I got the bundle as well, didn't buy anything else cuz damn $540 after tax but also idk what else is releasing alongside it
donkey kong!
Iām fortunate that 500 dollars isnāt a lot of money to me but the kiddo paid lol
not for months
I also have very few interests so I never spend my money, my wife does that perfectly well for both us
very very real
She big into houseplants which for the uneducated are shockingly fucking expensive
They trade them like PokĆ©mon and some plants are āsuper rareā
A plant is a plant to me but Iām happy she has a hobby she enjoys and finds fulfillment with so buy the plants babe
happy wife, happy life
Get her into wow
Sheās tried, not a fan
She does console shit like Zelda
Weāve been together a loooong time, she watched me CE raid for years and years
I think that scared her off
Itās an endeavor now
Lol, makes sense haha
looks dope
Love that
Wish we had more inside plants
I put together a couple flowerbeds outside for my wife and we keep it up. Itās fun. But then I gotta go outside to admire it and sometimes itās hot as hell
Do you wish you had less money
Because thatās how you get less money
Ok stay away from the plants
Better ex-gfs than ex wives though no?
@frosty mango tell your wife that if she needs help spending your money, I will take some
I won't spend it though. Just take it
Fwiw, i just watched wubderbar do their priory and they just let the dps pull those packs and then run out
My wife's boyfriend promised to buy me a switch 2 if I stayed out of the way this weekend
lol
sure
Sheās a professional
On her resume, 20+ years experience
Subject matter expert
Those are some strong qualifications
I feel like kids in particular are heinous to money
You have kids too?!
Daycare is obscene, then itās before/after care
Then they get old enough to take care of themselves kinda and the extracurriculars hit you
my wife makes like, double what i do lmao
I make okay money but I'm also single so I'm sure I'd have a different idea of okay if I had kids/wife
can't you find a combo dance jiu jitsu class
Yeah you never heard of dance fighting?
Gotta pay for the instrument, gotta buy this shirt, gotta pay for this field trip
Yea thatās brewmaster clearly not doing well
Well, I'm just glad your kid(s) have all those opportunities. We were so poor I couldn't even afford my senior yearbook. My mom had to save for the entire year just to afford my cap and gown, which was like $100 or something
We were poor af too which is why I make my kid work for her shit
I will pay for college and I will give her the house when Iām old but she doesnāt know that and she wonāt
Anything else sheās got to earn
I'm getting my grandparents' house apparently but I'll just sell it since it's like 20 hours away from me 
like food
My real inheritance is my older brother
how do I decide whether to craft or upgrade; it's such a hard choice
someone pick for me
hm I guess it's only another 15 crests to upgrade anyway
Might as well
Crests are unlimited
No they're not. I have to do content
Upgrade it all
Hush casual
so they're limited by my motivation

I've probably gotten as many crests from visions as keys, which is horrible š
Holy shit was this so much easier than org
I feel like SW doesn't have as many fuck up and you're dead moments
Might have something to do with not having an entire zone desperately trying to stun you
Yeah bosses are w/e aside from rexxar, the mobs jeez louise
Old Town got spicy for me but that was because I accidentally pulled light-hunters + first pack + the 2 informant pack to the left of the entrance
Nearly died there
Light hunters need to not apply a slow if you pop them out of stealth imo
no idea how the informant pack got pulled though. I was literally in the hallway going into old town still and just saw the informants booking it toward me
I'm blaming Valeera
I've got Tome and Signet on myth. 5 cartel chips. What would u recommend for pushing? Generally i think survivability is the far superior than dmg at the moment.
Pace and Mud? Or Tome and Pace? Or
I have nothing else to spend cartel chnips on. I've got hero HoC, hero Bombsuit, Myth Rik Wep.
GG
Hey @mighty valley are you a writer
Yeah
Well sometimes
I do writing and narrative design, Iāve worked on tv and games
Thatās sick as hell
Anything I know?
8 masks was so fucking easy
i didnt even trigger cheat and had all 3 orbs up on alleria lmao
signet blows
no bueno for us
you didnt specify what you've cleared
you mentioned rik weapon so i assume that's as far as you've gone
but in your case https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/warrior/protection/bis-gear#puzzling-cartel-chips will give you the info you need
Maybe but Iām gonna stay incognito
this is the way
š®
I did work on league of legends like a decade ago lol
red name roid
why is my name red
welcome to the cult of Nimchip
Ive been boosting server for like
a year
I just reupped nitro tho today
wonder if it resets it
What does boosting the server do
I could have been red all the time?
Besides give you a special name color
Redberg
I dunno I just wanna use animated emojis bro
Fair enough! ā¤ļø
you need to worship Nimchip for it to take effect
definitely something jacked up with it then
Animated emojis are nitro, not boosting

they might have a little bit of cocaine though
it comes with boost
Somewhere with a more visible role color for boosters ;p
What do you boost?
boost mobile where you at?
of course he does
Which I personally find funny because you do like zero m+
hes like the king mod there
I could boost peak of serenity but they arent as cool as warriors
me neither
Nimchip Plus Friends
I'm the "owner" of MPF, but without being the owner because the partner program makes it stupid to transfer ownership.
We need a discord
this true but ghash is also nimchip plus friends
I didnāt know you were a wow celebrity
That's putting it strongly
Sorry thatās what you are now
im a very famous noname
I donāt make the rules
a celebrity who-are-you
How connected are you, Nimchip
I'm watching The Greatest Game Ever Played and I can't get enough of this kid caddying for him
Like could you put a hit out on someone
We can call it warbreaker
im like 2 hand shakes away from one of the most hated men on the planet right now
the best anti-flex
oh
Planking?
Shia Leboof?
i would say cringing but... idk
Slouching?
Well, he's in it, yes. But I'm referring to his caddy lol
never seen the movie before
I thought Shia was the caddy
It's been a while, I thought he was the caddy lol
He was a caddy at the start

Yeah I wrote most of the movies
All the movies in all the genres
I laughed
harrow have you worked on series?
yeah, but animated series
š®
(I havenāt actually written any movies)
Def a SpongeBob writer
the creator of spongebob is deadge now š¦
im gonna take a wild guess and say Harrow wrote a couple of episodes of Vox Machina
which makes him a god-tiered writer
and we are not worthy
ooooohhhh Who lives in a coffin under the sea?
He actually wrote Spirited Away
That movie was weird as fuck.
you mean good as fuck
I said what I said
even an anime hater like me worships it
nah it had a writing team, plus it was a pretty board-driven show so the artists were also involved in the storytelling
I'm not an anime hater; I'm just a weird
There was more to that sentence but my cat put his ass on the enter key
youre not but i am
just remember i play ffxiv
Do you play a cat boy
Idk what that is
oh
equivalent to gnome
iām not a gigantic anime head, i donāt do any of the billion episode shonen or anything, but I have some faves. and the good Miyazaki movies are goated
my wife just got a huge princess mononoke tattoo lol
miyazaki is just outside the scope of anime
I enjoyed howl's moving castle
so i can worship him
just remembered my discord avatar is from an anime
guess i was a huge weeb all along
Spirited away was fine until the mask dude turned into the giant weird ass monster
anywho I'm gonna go finish this movie. šāāļøāā”ļø

Represent
I was a male human in ffxiv because it seemed like most everyone would leave me the hell alone.
oh boy
Spirited away is animation, almost all of the ghibli movies are animation as art - most of them are very compelling narratives as well
The og ghibli movies are goated
Dont say that
ive heard good things about heron
Do you remember like Peanuts
And I think the muppets did it too
Whenever the adult would talk it was just sounds
wahwahwha?
Real and true except for Cyberpunk Edgerunners, that shit was dope
yeah i guess that one was fine
I didnāt like edgerunners
i was goaded into watching it
Never even heard of it
I couldn't tell you what a ghibli is either
Sounds like some kinda gravy
Ghibli gravy
But I also loved Cyberpunk 2077 so I was kinda the target audience
You just need to imagine a ghibli is a good olā Disney
For edgerunners, I liked cyberpunk, but animation was so trash + I hated the story after the 3rd or 4th episode
I never tried cyberpunk because everyone said it barely worked/was trash/sucked
Itās the episode after she says please donāt become a cyber mutant
But I would have tried it if it didn't have all that drama associated with it
Does she forgive him
our boy aint no bitch
Kinda, the vibe was so naive
Hm
Itās a great game
I will be picking it up to play (again) on my switch 2
This may be a slight deviation on the topic at hand
That is the whole point and theme of cyberpunk
But they did great sequences with music, despite the animation
Yeah actually seems like reasonably well
It looks and seems to run better than the steam deck for that game
I heard some drama about how pokemon games don't look any different and maybe still lag or something? But I haven't kept up with it too much because I'm old and really upset about games becoming cartridges that you have to download shit to
I'm unreasonably upset about that whole "feature"
It isn't one of those special clear cartridges that you take home and have to downloa the whole game to?
Nope
Am I horribly uninformed on how those cartridges are working?
CDPR for some reason is unreasonably goated with the Switch
Their Witcher 3 port was wild on the original switch
Nah some of them are essentially just physical game keys itās silly
They donāt have any game data on them
Itās such a weird choice
yeah thats the big outrage about the switch 2 basically
Yeah you buy the box, you open it, there is a disk or whatever compartiment, but a sticker key code
the mario kart 80 bucks thing died when people figured you only needed to buy 1 game for 4 people - so its basically a 20 buck game
the cartridge thing is bananas though in comparison
Wait you can share Mario Kart?
yes
Huhhhhh?
dont you have it? it should say something on the box
oh
Yeah show up and get your spot in line and then you can pay at 3pm but they canāt give it to you until 11pm
It's actually pretty cool
I feel like when I was a kid you were just stuck there for hours/days if you were gonna camp out
That's cool you can share the game.
actually, apparently its not lmaooo
Is that a feature specific to only certain games or kinda switch 2-wide
Oh, it isn't even a feature!
yeah so
apparently you can do the virtual game card thing on it
so lend it, but its like steam's where you cant play during
i mean shit the 80 bucks price might have been justified with gameshare but...
alas
Nintendo pulled a Nintendon't
I think I read some games might be even more than 80
But that might have just been people stirring up a ruckus
yeah im gonna go ahead and say
fuck that
if its true
that being said games are already over 80 bucks.... deluxe and ultimate editions for example lol
but thats nitpicking
Depends on value imo
I would gladly pay 80 bucks for a game like Zelda, Iām going to get my value from that
But for like, super Mario soccer?
No shot lol
Breath of the wild was awesome
Not for me really but I can recognize it was a well made game
Breath of the Wild I think is the first Zelda game I ever started and chose not to finish
I mean my idea of a good time is a homebrew emu handheld
all the koroks
Zelda 2 is my favorite one in the series
so should i still buy myth track book or mud?
What level content are you doing
no reason to buy mud
15s
0 reason
Then yes not mud
What if youāre like pushing 20s and you already have mythic pace and tome and a heroic bombsuit
Way less cool tho
you want the cdr in floodgate, not the added absorb due to myth track
Nim not a certified mud enjoyer
I remember a while back we had a whole debate about mud
it has its uses
And it was getting shit on heavy
its just not worth a dinar
And now Roid is a certified mudder
ok im finally done
ok next question myth one hander or book? i have a 681 crafted with ascendance
all 8 masks, all the new shit, visions are over
I still don't have the Griffin cuz I keep forgetting to bring meat
Oh I forgot about the griffin
alright roid
I still haven't gotten the mailbox mount, haven't done griffin, and haven't bought any mounts from the vendor either
i see you
He's a believer in the old mud
I got mail muncher in like
the second run going for it
and trash one the run after
ama
Insurance may have something to say about that
Unless youāre actually being serious about your house in which case I still think my comment was hilarious but I recognize the shitty situation and wish you the best in the new build
You wait, or you charge
do u just taunt to take the party pack, then cotank taunts back after? are u ever holding the boss?
ur cotank will get gunked up then
lmao yes my house did actually burn down in January but donāt worry, Iāve made way grimmer jokes about it
Taunt during pyro, wait for timer, leap away at 1, immediately charge back
Iāve never put much thought into the gunk
just a reskinned mindwyrm sadly
Yes but you land with enough time to turn around
why the fuck do i have this
the duos thing
so ur holding the boss after u charge back??
Yes and the heāll taunt at some point
I only concern myself with me not him lol
You will be at 6-7
Oh Iām scuffing it then because I regularly have like 9 or 10 stacks I tho k
I just use leap and charge and intervene to get about
Iāve never actually really thought about that as a mechanic because I guess Iām not hoofing it too often
I'M FAST AS FUCK BOI
Mazda in here boys zoom zoom
Maybe bc you have to swap when you do the move up/ down of map at the start when one of the two have 6 stacks, then it is aligned to 6 for the rest
Is this true in heroic?
how does the boss not move when u charge out tho
shouldnt he book it to ur location
Idk I thought we were talking about mythic
I am
we are
Yes he moves a tiny bit but youāre already charging back
In heroic I just end up holding the boss for like first infinity pyro party packs because the other tank inevitably is going to lose threat
Heroic I take every party packs and I stay in melee
And at one point I canāt move anymore but intermission saves me
Iām pretty sure the fight is designed in a way that you can just swap on pyro
amd for dmg mitigation i spell block + spell reflect if its up, shield wall + spell reflect otherwise
on party packs
Like if you read the flow of the fight the intent is clearly one tank gets pyro > other tank taunts > first tank runs out
Personally I think taunting on pyro and taking the pyro is better because you have movement freedom immediately after the pyro to position and not get clipped by whatever bullshit mechanic happens to be coming towards you - but yes the boss does move a little
Iām not sure how a dk would be able to do the fight with gunk stacks and having to run out
what am i doing wrong
I'm not doing the 1 ilevel thing; idk how to do that
that was just my first time in there
and they gave me this fucking 1 ilvl buff
does spell block actually work with pyro party pack? none of them are running spell block
logs
cool thanks
the bag
gave me champ gear, i just did it with the 1 ilvl bullshit
yeah this is just bugged
??
if i remove an item, it goes to 619
then back to 1
I feel like it's supposed to be 619 
the fuck
https://raidplan.io/plan/z9j7hg2u3qtceyg8
if you want
am i blue or red here
or is it random
it's random
and a bug post in the forums, two bug posts
man I hope they didn't hurt themselves designing these shoulder cosmetics
the only change depending on colors is on 6
dont i take boss first to get 1st party pack?
or does cotank tank it first
so i taunt on 1st pp
the one who takes PP takes the boss first
it's your co tank
This is a fun conversation out of context
he taunt after* pp
so theres no last second leap away and charge back before boss moves
Why would you let him put his pp on you
cuz he has it
ghash
so apparently
unequipping tabard and shirt fixes it
lmao
its fixed for me
you can last second leap
since it's not you who tank the boss
this all basically boils down to taunt when stacks drop off innit?
lmao this is a sad sim
yes
and there is slide 6, the boss movement can be cringe if the pp tank is blue
can u rephrase slide 6
guess there's not much else to do after you beat it huh
was kind of underwhelming tbh lol
let's try with the challenge food I suppose
ah ic
others can help if they do 1 tank takes all party packs differently, that's how i do it
so if im blue
i take the pp, move to where we will be going for it to pop
walk back, taunt it over
then red tank taunt it back
instead of double switch cant i just hold onto it while i leap out and have it follow me while pp pops
then cotank taunts when its in position
idk, i was not the one who took party packs, boss needs to go in front, you could do that maybe yes
ill try it
just don't explode on blue ppl (except mages, they can blow up)
and if tank is red, we just have to make sure that blue moves ahead first
so tank doesnt waddle into dumbass blues
who didnt move
yes basically
oh wait nvm
i wouldn't need to say it is "tricky" if dumbass ppl didn't exist
if im red, cotank will be blue
so he'd taunt and everyone moves while i stay behind with pp
?
if the one who takes party packs is red, it is perfect / fine nothing to worry the other can pull back the boss to position
well theres beam there isnt there
i don't remember much, i tried to find vod but it got deleted
i'm red on this replay
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/n4fDYF3GHJPRLMmK?fight=55&view=replay&position=215084
yooo pignonneur crosseplatine
ppal could go in front to explode + move boss, i think we were not sure about damage on the group
what embellishment do i put into my sword? shield already has duskthread
dope
Now that I think about it, just watch out blue people doesnāt follow too early the boss since you will blow up
If you go for keeping the boss, leap and explode
Do you all use at curser macros for things like leap and ravager?
i do not
Ok cool, I've seen people use it but I don't really trust it to drop where I expect
It's nice to see what the actual radius will be imo
yeah i only consider it when it's an ability you're firing off super frequently
when you ham it regardless
and saving the click adds up
That happens so much
Just went back to GameStop these people still in line
Harrow I need a name for a new tabletop character. Wanna help?
Didnāt they run out?
Are they just kinda⦠hoping a new surprise shipment shows up?
sometimes shops get overnights
āIf someone doesnāt come back we can get oneā
funnily enough naming is the thing that stresses me out the most
but describe your lil person and we can spitball
Daggerheart is the game. 7 foot tall fungril dude that came into existence through tech and experimentation. The environment is all tech and instead of magic it's all just super technology stuff
āSolomon Grundyā imo
one angle could be like... a pet name that the scientist leading the project that produced your dude came up with
First thing I thought of lul
as they got attached to whatever he looked like as he was growing in an experiment
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
The DM asked if the fungril colony could see the "gardener AI" that kind of teaches them/supplies them with information as like a deity type of situation
or like... maybe your dude had a codename/series of letters or numbers that they misunderstood and mangled into a name
And wants them to use some combination of numbers and letters lol I'm so screwed
Yeah see you already fully understand the concept
What a writer
your dm is having good thoughts, this is promising
yeah i would just try and use the exercise of naming the character to add some emotional drama to their upbringing, yknow
Iāve been banned from dnd for a few sessions sadly. That seems like such a cool premise
which kind of depends on what you want the personality/outlook/emotions of your character to be
Huge fungus guy with no understanding of social situations taught about life from an AI
Inquisitive, but socially clumsy as hell.
Yeah I'm super excited
yeah, like a clumsy version is his name is Bethefor because the AI called him "B34" and he didn't get that it was a serial number
lol
I use for ravager, but big no for leap (for me)
Cursor = things I donāt care to be precise
I want to good aim leap, especially in raid
I always feel awesome leaping past the mobs to get to sprocket
Anybody find the sweet tech for not having M gally chase after the other tank when you taunt on bigger badder bomb?
I donāt think there is tech
Iām not on mythic but he does this on all difficulties
You can see here @ 1:45 meeres waits for the boss to change focus, then he jumps

i dont think theres any way to have him not do it unless you wait for him to shift focus, and then move out
taunt right after the cast finishes he wont move
Now the door is slightly opened i need to insert myself quick, idk if monk or druid
Monk is a ramp healer in raid ?
theres two builds one is and one isnt
depends on the fight
one is ramp one is burst
@patent scroll is fellow monkbro hes got the tech too
Might go for monk tbf, the rdruid dps raid rotation huuuh
monk is kinda big brain but it is very fun
the ramp build is kinda frantic if you dont like high apm prob dont play monk
Now thatās been a week I play mw, I prefer over rdruid even tho rdruid is way easier
We play prot
But I need to understand cell more, how tf I set it up so I can cast instant without having to put my cursor out of the frame
It is kinda annoying with dispels

So yeah, Yulon is kinda rampy, but the ramp basically goes on all the time because you want to upkeep REMs for when you need to heal which is basically all the time
You can also just play Chiji and kick some stuff, don't have to "ramp" at all
But is real good fun
When you manage to get the fight timings down and Zen Pulse like 70% of your raid with a Shaohao buff and their health bars move 
Zen pulse is weird, I do m+, sometimes it tops everyone, sometime I donāt see hp move that much
Yeah, probably due to healing amps being there or not, which is the good/bad side of monk in m+
100% it has something to do with the hero talent in my big guess
but i'm still worrying about main rotation before giving coalescence etc big think
It's all good fun until you get to like 15s and have to preramp big damage with like 5 globals of amp preparation
for now i just tea, palpatin to heal everyone
basically
the rest is : i trust my own dps to passive heal
Just remember to hit your target/s before that so you get the 20% damage amp, but yep that's usually enough until you get to the 14-15 mark
Just need to trust Jadefire teachings
yeah i fill the hero talent and then i use the tea, it's that correct ?
Yep
You can use it for the heal as well, but usually you can just dump it into damage
Only that not every damaging ability (like CJL) apply the dot
i'm still not fully understanding harmony, i get you talk about those 20%
but only that do damage right through the hero ?
so it's more, i tea, do some spells to hit things, then palpatin ?
guys somehow MT clicks a bit better than colossus, as an aspiring prot warr should I just stick with colossus right now? How much of a dps loss is MT?
Tbh, you can stay MT if itās fit better for you. I would definitely miss the knockup from shockwave
I had a zen pulse/restoral combo for 100m+ the other night on gally
burst to like 8m
Overall itās good to know how to handle both speccs, who knows whatās coming in a couple of weeks
I screamed "yahztee bitches"
was struggling in 10 keys yesterday, especially big momma, but thats definietly a me issue after looking at my logs.
for what its worth I ran thane all week this week in 15-17 keys
and my dps while lower than colossus wasn't even remotely troll level, still well over 2m and into 3m in some keys
Maybe thought MT would be a bit easier to get into tanking keys as prot war tried it out in delves and felt a bit more coherent if that makes sense idk, maybe its just the missing haste on my gear? idk
low haste is going to hurt in both specs
thane will be easier for gather and positioning (thunderclap is 360 degrees vs revenge being a frontal cone)
yea I am having issues on gather mostly
big momma is purely you rotating your defensives properly
maybe its due to being new to it and still struggling with muscle memory in gathering
tldr - once you have max harmony. Do I need to use TFT to heal people? No? Press TFT and continue to dps, make sure you get ALL of your vitality out (use a weakaura)
its just shitloads of free damage for the most part
colossus is definitely harder on the gather, it takes some time to understand positioning
its less of a class/talent thing and more of a knowing the pulls thing
a big part of it is understanding what your idiot dps might do and pre-empting that
thanks for your input, much appreciated
yeah I hate it, I charge, clap and jump to next pack or w/e and turn my back and the 3 mobs are running towards my dps
then everything goes downhill from there xdd
if you have gung ho dps you can clap + shield charge
it's not ideal but it will stick the mobs to you
ok
Yeah, it doesn't need to be much, but BoK in cleave or BoK or TP in single to get the 20% amp in then CJL. You do have the time to empty the vitality pool afterwards as well but do want the amp to exist
Or well, can be RSK as well, just that you usually want to boost that as well
I usually stack up AT to 4, tft, bok, envm, rsk, cjl
that gets the dot out, amped rsk and cjl with crit infusion
Yep, that's the more correct way of doing it
The TFT can be any of it's abilities depending on the situation as it's really versatile like that, but using it before CJL and the following damage/healing you'll be doing is obviously good
would I play crafted rings or hero wick's golden loop/bloodoath signet?
ok ok
that seems to work
btw i finally managed to find out why my pc was not compatible with windows 11
after all these years, i looked wtf is the TPM

i'll do the switch this night, i'm gonna be 100% shocked by the interface
Honestly saving yourself there
yeah but i get so many message about end of support
You could obtain a LTSC license and use that, but yeah
I did some test yesterday and if I taunt at the exact same moment he use his ability, sometime Galywix donāt move. But itās not 100% of the Time so idk⦠pretty fucked way to code a boss for tank swap
Last boss of Flood, I guess for each Gigazap, we just have a defensive up
For the AOE, do you guys use spell reflect?
For the Gigazap, I try to have Wall and then IV the Dot
Sorry, Thunderpunch
Hey guys does the shield block has a maximum duration?
3x tooltip duration
So 18 seconds? Sorry I'm noob af
idk
but cap is removed/raised if you play bolster and have last stand active too
Do we ever use slam in our rotation? Or can I just take it off my barr
we dont use slam nor whirlwind
Thanks! Makes room for other abilitys haha
About 24 with current recommended talents
Yes, you can use it to reduce the dot damage
If I have a Champ Bombsuit, is it worthwhile spending a coin on a Heroic version, or go with something else? (already have jastor, and heroic ritual mud)
The wowhead guide in the pins has a good write up on dinar choices and how to choose
Quiet day today
Itās Thursday
Which is the day when we all wish it was Friday
But we realize we have a whole notherā day of this before the weekend, and as such are quiet because that realization stinks
and then you blink and it's suddenly sunday evening
Fwiw pretty sure mine caps out at just over 23 seconds
Itās 24 seconds with enduring defenses talented and 18 without
My question is should i send SB on CD on big pulls or should I hold a bit before sending a second charge? I mean I'm wasting it reaching a cap?
Sorry if it's a dumb question I'm new to prot warrior
You shouldn't overcap, but it also doesn't really matter 
If you start a pack you send SB, you use SC, you still have space for the 3rd application and not overcap at all
Just remember, shield block increases the damage of shield slam!
Unless playing with high haste and heavy repercussions, you do need to kind of try to overcap SB
Yo fellas, is void ritual still bugged ?
Hey guys! Do we have any cheatsheet or guide for correct usage of cooldowns and specially defensives?
For example: for small amount of incomming damage i use spell XY. If big damage is incomming i use XY.
If you drop under 30% you use always XY because this is your last Chance ability.
VR was bugged? I thought it was echoing void that was bugged.
I thought it was twilight dev
Kinda busy in work, and preparing all my stuff for next weekends (hellfest in prep for example). But I'm lacking from working, just want to play and press some demolish x)
i would recommend to always use your demo shout. cuz its less dam inc. and more dam out.
shield wall is your main cd against everything. the charges will reset pretty quick and you should have it multiple times during any combat.
the "save my ass" button could be your last stand. depends on playstyle amd talents if you need more SB uptime for example.
If you fall to below 30% and it wasn't planned, send IP (if SB is up), potion and IV 
Aint shit you can do otherwise
If you are playing properly and still find yourself dropping low, you can run BSV
Idk im not geting any stacks whatsoever
Iām concerned about no mention of Spell Block. Itās goated right now
and dont forget to use SR and spellblock frequently to counter any casts/spell dmg.
Are you checking for 1227316 ?
Idk. If there's a bug, it seems to only be affecting you because I can't find anything on it.
youre welcome. prot warrie is actually pretty sustain, like, you can yolo gallywix on myth and take all the melee stacks alone. but the main probs for the most ppl is lacking on shield block uptime and second one is "save" your wall for no reason.
Weird , gotta check again today , maybe im just not looking hard enough, ty anyway
for gally, on ego check and big bomb blast, how good is spell block?
im just not sure if its more of a bolster angle or spell block angle
Having to switch to a defensive trinket at higher keys, sim says tome > pacemaker for the other slot. thoughts? Both same ilvl
What kind of sim did you run
Dungeon slice
We donāt use dungeon slice unfortunately
You can give 5 target patchwerk for 1 or 1.5 minutes a try
I would anticipate pacemaker to outperform tome at same ilvls in a dungeon setting, but you could still equip tome if you want to help knock dungeon bosses down a little faster since they can bog runs down
Thank you Rhinoceros
Cheers, mate
Only on the Crit side, right?
Are you asking me about sword vs shield mode on tome?
yup
Yes we like sword mode
Sword mode would help down a boss quicker than the pacemaker?
Yeah, tome is an exceptional single target damage dealing trinket
I'm doing 14's but still just doing 1.99m, I wonder if switching tome for pacemaker might make a slight difference
FYI if you're using tome, regardless of the tank, you're supposed to keep it in sword/crit mode as much as possible
The defensive side of that trinket is basically not worth it
good to know š
emphasis on slight, it's not gonna be a 30% dps swing or whatever, that's likely just pulls/play
Pacemaker is still a crazy good trinket
And in aoe I do believe it can win out because when youāre fighting loads of mobs at once tome gets swapped over to shield mode faster
But thatās admittedly a little higher than my pay grade. Somebody else would know that type of nuance probably better than me
still, awesome to know these little nuggets š
I run both pacemaker and tome together because you donāt really need a defensive trinket until maybe 15s or 16s
swapping those 2 trinkets is gaining inchs where better play will gain you feet if that makes sense lol
This was the last Priory I did, I think I need to hit Revenge a bit more
yeah, would need a log to properly diagnose, but revenge and demolish are typically close in total damage done
which one wins depends on dungeon
for mythic gally, whats the trade off for bolster vs spell block? i was looking at logs with spell block and it doesnt seem that good but maybe im bad at reading lol
sigh, got a 14 priory, ain't timing that - gg
spell block lets you face tank some zapy zapys
Does demo shout apply the damage reduction to a bleed after it is on you or does it need to be used before the bleed is cast?
Why not?
As a tank a 14 is functionally no different than a 12
Whether or not you time it is up to the rest of the group
I believe itās retroactive as that is how most dots scale that being said Iām not sure which bleeds (if any) snapshot this tier
Looking at optimizing survival on the first boss of priory on 18 or so
Read that
thanks!
You can wiggle it to your liking but it should give you the general flow and strategy
i have three slots that are 671: neck, hands and legs. Generally speaking what would be the best one to craft 681 gear?
legs
Legs
assuming you maintaine 4 set
Unless you have a super shitty neck in which case neck may actually be better
These days, basically nothing "snapshots" damage at time of cast or anything like that. If a dot ticks on you, that tick is reduced by your current %DR effects. which also means if you cast too early and the %DR runs out, later ticks will not be affected
Head shoulders knees and toes
P sure thereās only one neck
In the entire freaking game
Thereās two good non crafted necks
I am memeing a little bit
Yep basically only tiger's fury on feral druids snapshots now I think. Maybe bloodtalons if that's still a thing
Meadery keg only neck Iāve seen I think this whole season
There are some boss abilities that snapshot though they explicitly say so
āDeals x% of the unmitigated damage as a bleedā
2 raid necks 2 dungeon ones
and a boe
so slim pickings
I am 98% sure Dailcry does not snapshot tho
Because it would remove a major mechanic from the fight which is the dispel
If it snapshotted the dispel would be a pointless mechanic
unless your healer was slow and the two frequently overlapped
Pretty sure there are no snapshotting dots this season, heck don't think there have been any this expansion?
There's stuff like Gally Ego Checks where you obviously want to get the prior hit instead but
Rashanan
Only one I can think of
Roidburg is on the cusp of 684 and I donāt think Iāll be able to squeak it out
I donāt think you can get 684 and be optimal
Even 1 crafted piece gonna drag you down
I think 0 embellishs is not a big deal
When fighting blazikon, i stand right on top of him but occasionally i get knocked back and then whole party wipes bc I'm not in melee range. What am I supposed to do differently?
Embellishes should also add 3 ilvl to the crafted piece
Are you sure youāre wiping because you arenāt in melee? Iirc thatās the dousing whatever ability that does massive group wide damage
oh ok, might be that
When knockback, move closer to him, so you are knockback in melee range
Or you can demolish to prevent knockbacks
good idea
The good idea is to move closer to the center of his circle.
Other tanks/thane donāt have demolish
Assuming this is true they arenāt actually leaving melee and whatās killing the group is something else imo
@woven scroll i will come back to you to ask some questions. If you dont mind! On what level you playing m+ for now?
i've done all dungeons on 13, but my grp quitted after for this season, cuz it dont feels rewarding to us to only get higher rio, and nothing else.
but i think we could do like 15 if we optimize routes. all after will need at least some grp coordinations and kick rotations/stops and stuff like this.. dont worth it, for me š
Two fact of his message are mutually exclusive yes, I chose to follow second thing
But rhino is right
I see⦠yeah im only pugging for now, but running quite smooth. Thinking of switching from heal to tank⦠or maybe just play him from time to time. For now i just need to gear this guy, fresh 80ā¦
Itās pretty clear if leaving melee wipes the group because everyone explodes immediately
Iāve never had an issue I just walk back forward after the knockback
His melee range is pretty large given his size
Your random pug healer will not 5+ stacks
Hey have some faith lol
Nop
Idk how other people feel but 8-mask stormwind was MUCH easier than 8-mask org
ya.. the main prio for prot is to get high haste asap. feels pain when you lack of haste.
i've just done the tripple threat achieve 2 weeks ago, and after that, i know why i love my prot so much.. since vanilla š
If no one uses defensives that ability where he blows out all the candles will kill folks
Bc you have a cheat death, 100 more total sanity, and double sanity time but didnāt matter in orgrimmar already
Also Iāve seen people die if they group up the tornadoes and get hit by them all lol
Yeah but the no melee range wipe is like very apparent when it happens
Even with that, I just find the stormwind mechanics much easier. Rexxar is a bitch
aggree š
Itās not during dousing or anything he literally just explodes and everyone dies lol
He is blind, he is excused
Pashionable
here is a query, is it better to run the typical 4-6 different gems with using the Culminating Blasphemite for the 0.15% crit effect on unique gems or would stack all say Deadly Sapphire or Versatile Ruby for the pure stats?
I am immune to this effect
What about speed gem?
Yeah so that's literally me if I enable HDR 
Fucking hilarious how much light you can get from an ultawide
It actually hurt my eyes
It is funny bc I discovered hdr 2 months ago, I was like : thx now my streams are weird, my cursor is white in wow
I turned it off again in 5 min
It's actually pretty good when implemented well, rarely is
it is weird, i didn't see the difference except my game was pale so i had to turn contrast way up (yes my pc/screen etc is hdr compatible and i turned it on when i tried)
Hi, is it common and okay to take the disrupting shout instead of SoF talent for m+ pugs to have extra interupt?
yeah it's good in some dungeons for sure
helps if your group is organized and not just randomly kicking
so you can plan for getting good multi kicks
Alright ty, i feel that the pull before 2nd boss in DFC can delete unorganized pugs very easy š
Was rly shocked that with 2 druids, WL and ret we didnt stop the casts..
Technically that's your job to lead that pull as keys go higher. Ping them to LoS at the candle, gather them and bring them there. Then cleave
And as a pwarr with balance in team you always do Disrupt first to stack for balance beam. Same with Mekagon 1st floor
Poor man's sigil of chains
Ty for advice, had no problem with bear there š
You had different group too maybe? Communicate
Iike im not trying to say that because i was on warrior the group flops
Thatās the issue ahahaha
yeah thats cuz bear is epic
I know that it can be done properly with every class
Atm im fighting with the fact that i have to be closer to the targets for interrupt
Bear having a pseduo-ranged kick is so nice
Keyowners watching everything melt in 16s when they bring a prot warr to a rogue/hunter/retri/ww group after 2 months of vdh hegemony
4 out of 6 tanks having a ranged interrupt smh
