fucking wild

lyric sorrel
#

so do you just hold troar if you get a second one in the same pull?

warm plinth
#

I did a press W route in Motherlode and mage accused me of doing a 300% route. I was actually short at the end and had to pull an extra war machine keks

lusty grotto
#

unless the mobs are about to die

lyric sorrel
#

i'm asking because if i send my cds again even if i get full value out of them, next pull i struggle a bit with aggro

#

people rip their cds right off the bat and there's just nothing i can do

lusty grotto
#

what ilvl is your weapon

#

and what key level

lyric sorrel
#

15s

lusty grotto
#

and your weapon?

lyric sorrel
#

crafted

#

681

lusty grotto
#

and do you run crackling?

#

because you should be

#

except for in Workshop

lyric sorrel
#

ye

#

i am

lusty grotto
#

well idk what to tell you, i dont have issues

#

are you sending avatar into the pull?

lyric sorrel
#

well if i have avatar of course

#

but im asking for when i dont

lusty grotto
#

or a wall for mini avatar at least?

#

its very unlikely that you will not have cds

lyric sorrel
#

well ye thats why im saying if i pop them the second time in the pull i dont have them for the next one

lusty grotto
#

pulls dont last 3 mins

lyric sorrel
#

exactly

#

so if i pop them the second time the pull is basically done as my cds are running out

#

or a couple seconds later

lusty grotto
#

i dont know i never think about it

#

i just send on cd

warm plinth
#

Same

lusty grotto
#

except when i mentioned

#

as in the mobs are about to die

lyric sorrel
#

ye i mean obviously you don't send cds if youre not getting full value out of them

lusty grotto
#

youre overthinking it

lyric sorrel
#

perhaps because i just got insanely bullied cause a ret paladin popped cds on pull and died

#

i didn't think too much about this up til now

lusty grotto
#

the only situation where you think of value are in damage amp situations

#

ret pallies are 50/50

#

if they send on a single pack they are the lower 50

#

as in, they are dumb as fuck

#

not only are they likely to die due to threat, they are losing dps

lyric sorrel
#

i mean when i play as a dps i usually hold everything for a couple seconds

lusty grotto
#

right

#

as you should

lyric sorrel
#

like build resources and shit dont send any higher dmg abilities

#

so it doesn';t make sense

#

that he's already dead 7 seconds into the pull

left escarp
#

can't stop zuggin

lyric sorrel
#

and the mobs are barely done coming in

lusty grotto
#

right, that's his fault

#

not yours

near salmon
lusty grotto
#

im obsessed with routes

#

as in

lyric sorrel
#

i dont have problems holding aggro, just the start of the pulls in these situations

lusty grotto
#

if youre doing this box shit in ML

#

youre wasting time expecting people to jump the shit instead of just killing the peacekeeper

warm plinth
#

Nim needs to pay for overtime therapy because of box skip in ML smh

#

Pugs ruin everything

lusty grotto
#

if youre expecting this warlock to portal into 1st boss on top of that, your route is absolute shit

#

should be deleted

near salmon
#

I had the worst time in season 1 dawnbreaker. There was always a anxious dps player each key tring to argue with me about being short 1% or over 1%

lusty grotto
#

ML has such a big timer

#

that you dont need all this skipping on vault keys

#

AT ALL

cerulean tusk
#

Nim, you are so wrong, have you seen the avg 10 group DPS?

#

1 million a pop

#

THEY NEED the skips

warm plinth
#

Yeah doing something risky makes perfect sense IF you need to do it to time the key. If you don't, you're adding risk and difficulty for no reason.

lusty grotto
#

i left this key btw

cerulean tusk
#

Toxic

#

Reported

#

Mods ban him

lusty grotto
#

cause we were 8 mins at the carts

#

do you know why

near salmon
#

ouch

cerulean tusk
#

Something tells me I will shortly

lusty grotto
#

CAUSE WE WAITED SO LONG FOR PEOPLE TO BOX SKIP AND FOR A LOCK TO PORTAL INTO 1ST BOSS

#

instead of just pressing W

cerulean tusk
#

Ye, but Nim, this is all on you

#

if you healed better

#

they would do better

lusty grotto
#

why the fuck is that shit standard in 10s

lyric sorrel
#

i've timed 10s on my 645 vdh with normal w routes and with others 650ish doing the same dps

#

so i have no clue why ppl would ever have a need to change routes

#

or do mdi type of stuff

left escarp
#

top down watering effect

lyric sorrel
#

when u have 1 trillion years to finish the key

lusty grotto
#

did they even do box skips in mdi? cause i swear i didnt see it, at all

cerulean tusk
#

Nim is wrong, we need the skips, or the 10s cant be completed

lyric sorrel
#

and mobs die instantly every pull

cerulean tusk
#

Dont let Nim shake your belief!

#

It is meta for a reason!!

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

funky im not in the mood

frosty mango
#

What are they gonna do when you’re tanking

lusty grotto
#

be nice to mouse

solid sun
#

I def do w routes

cerulean tusk
#

So we all agree to blame Nim, as all would be solved if he tanked?

#

W is for Win

frosty mango
#

I was helping a 11 key in priory and the hunter kept pinging for me to pull all four paladin packs. Why?

“That’s mdi Strat”

lusty grotto
#

im never touching prot paladin, sorry

cerulean tusk
#

4 paladins

frosty mango
#

You are doing 2m overall and have 1 kick bro this is definitely not the mdi

cerulean tusk
#

PuG

lusty grotto
#

plus i need this

solid sun
#

I told my squad if they’re expecting seal team 6 bullshit in Motherlode find a new tank

lusty grotto
#

its the only reason im healing 10s

lyric sorrel
#

the crazy thing is, if you want to have control over routes just tank

cerulean tusk
#

My fav part is somehow failing to time 10s. It is always such a mess, and I am just sitting here infront of my computer. Smileing. Enjoying the whole dramalama.

lyric sorrel
#

otherwise it's not your job

cerulean tusk
#

See, Bane gets it.

lusty grotto
#

thanks captain obvious

lyric sorrel
#

whoops

#

my bad

cerulean tusk
#

Dont pull back into your shell

#

stand up to the rat!

lusty grotto
#

its not like i perma tank on other classes and my warrior or anything

solid sun
#

It’s big gamer energy if you holy shock something while they’re trying to mdi strat though isn’t it

lusty grotto
#

which is why ML shitty routes are huge peeves

solid sun
#

Loooooool

cerulean tusk
#

I just love dragging ppl around as a tank, having them kick and scream all the way to a +2/+3

lusty grotto
#

at least not this season lmao

cerulean tusk
#

They get so confused at the end

solid sun
#

I pull two peacekeepers in my ML route and don’t feel bad about it and so far it’s never been an issue

lusty grotto
#

ok thats just illegal

frosty mango
#

I link the route at the start of every key

#

If you dislike my route you are free to find either another key or another tank

solid sun
#

There’s one peacekeeper in the middle of the wall opening that I blast

cerulean tusk
#

I pull all of em, ya cant stop me

solid sun
#

And then there’s a peacekeeper blocking the entrance to the first boss that I blast

lusty grotto
#

i used to link the routes expansions ago, but people dont ever look at them anyway

#

so i pull a funky

left escarp
cerulean tusk
#

Hell yeah!

lusty grotto
#

but also i dont do illegal pulls lol

solid sun
#

I don’t pull two peacekeepers at the same time gosh

#

I’m not evil

lusty grotto
#

ok ok

#

good clarification

near salmon
#

i like pulling first and 3rd peacekeepers. Skipping only the 2nd one that is on patrol.

lusty grotto
#

yeah

#

thats kind of the standard

#

well

near salmon
#

in low key they die so fast anyway

lusty grotto
#

i THOUGHT it was the standard

frosty mango
#

List of things that are dumb in 10 keys in no particular order
Wall jumps
Meld skips
Pulling trash into bosses
Anything that requires dps to taunt mobs
Going out of your way to Los things

left escarp
#

pull all 3, moar reflects

lusty grotto
#

until i saw this shit lmao

solid sun
#

It should be the standard

lusty grotto
#

ok im up to my 4th ML now

#

lets hope for the best

near salmon
#

good luck

lusty grotto
#

aside from raid i guess

#

oh no

#

they picked a 1600 VDH

#

without any mains

#

frosty mango
#

Lul

Just get someone here to tank it

lusty grotto

They should give you guys the new holographic role color

lusty grotto

holographic red c:

warm plinth
lusty grotto
#

cant go fast if we're not red

warm plinth
#

you can do gradients too

#

so you could do like red gradient with the woyer color

lusty grotto
#

yaya gradient red would be nice

warm plinth
#

Or red with a different red idk

lusty grotto
#

yea that would be good

lusty grotto

TL enjoyer LOL

lusty grotto

its a 10 cinderbrew btw

I got a great one

That’s like. Our coolest thing

To take second wind??? Honed reflexes???

lusty grotto

kind of

#

LOL yea

frosty mango
lusty grotto

tbf i think hes farming crests, but idk why he would go weapon over shield first, no wonder hes scattering with mud/BSV/TL

mighty valley
#

maybe just clicked at random down the tree

warm plinth
#

just for the lulz, I simmed spear against thunderous words and it's actually only like a .6-.7% loss in both ST and AoE

Yea until you realize you can whiff spear

Hello first time WoW player just hit lvl 70 almost lvl 71 game is fun. Im a warrior and im looking for advice or links or builds to follow for best solo builds to work towards. I have looked on YouTube Google and build forms but they all seem to not be retail updated or anything I understand. Im starting to get flustered with how complicated it is to find builds for retail that explain it from scratch as im new I dont understand the lingo of the game just yet.

frosty mango
warm plinth
#

So are you wanting something that explains what each button does basically?

frosty mango
#

The guide is geared towards max level but it’s relatively high level - nothing until max level will really be relevant as hero talents alter gameplay

#

But the general flow of the class is outlined pretty clearly in the wowhead guide

#

If you have specific questions we can answer them

#

The concept of a “leveling guide” doesn’t really exist in wow because leveling is extremely fast

warm plinth
#

I'm pretty sure both wowhead and icy-veins have spec-specific leveling guides

#

icy-veins you can even set it to the specific level you're at

lusty grotto
#

the wowhead guide has a delve build thats as close as solo build you can get

#

but aside from select content (delves, visions, dastardly duo, world events).. we dont optimize for those

#

since end game isnt really a solo game

livid hound
frosty mango
#

Once you do that it will be a little more intuitive which skills do what and when to press them

livid hound
#

Also thank.you

frosty mango
#

You’re looking for like an in depth mechanical play breakdown? Most guides will assume you’re familiar with the basics

livid hound
#

I was going to do a pali but my lord do they get talked down on haha so I chose the hard route

lusty grotto
#

eh

#

wdym

#

getting talked down shouldn't stop you from playing what you enjoy

#

its just talk

#

it means nothing

#

that being said fuck prot paladins

#

c:

livid hound
#

I was reading b4 I started playing that picking a paladin proc is a cheese to the game and I should choose warrior because I'll learn more 😅

lusty grotto
#

huh

#

a cheese?

#

there's no such thing

livid hound
#

Idk what I enjoy I have maybe 25-35 hours in the game so far

lusty grotto
#

the cheese thing is weirdge

#

if you need explanations

#

you can ask here

solid sun
#

What’s the hard route

#

Being a warrior?

lusty grotto
#

but the gist of it is, warrior revolves around spending rage, if youre spending rage while not starving and not capping rage, youre doing good (see: Anger Management and Violent Outburst talents)

#

yeah he kinda got his info wrong on that regard

frosty mango
#

Doubly so as a new player

lusty grotto
#

agreed

solid sun
#

Maybe even triply so

frosty mango
#

QuadruPALLY so

livid hound
#

Okay any advice on what would be the best class to play Solo best? Your opinion? I plan to keep going until my warrior is 80

lusty grotto
#

if you wanna know about talents, pick that build i linked and ask about specifics to the talents

frosty mango
#

Every class will solo at give or take the same level

lusty grotto
#

there's no best solo class

#

solo content is usually not hard so every class is viable

#

like what Roidberg is saying

#

if you want really good info for new players try the one discord

#

i forget the name

#

WoW made easy? or something like that

livid hound
#

Okay thank you =] I'll look at the two builds and see what i can learn from them

frosty mango
#

Every class has a class discord to help with questions and while they’re definitely not as cool as the prot war channel (because we’re the coolest)

#

They are generally helpful

#

No one will shame you for asking questions

solid sun
#

We are also the most helpful

frosty mango
#

True and real

solid sun
#

And the funniest

frosty mango
#

We’re basically just the best

solid sun
#

And the best cooks

lusty grotto
#

try asking there for general WoW stuff and if you feel like asking warrior questions, we'll be here to help

solid sun
#

But you can also ask us questions that don’t seem related to warrior but still are

#

Like the best smoked meat for Father’s Day

#

Or is it nimchip’s fault

lusty grotto
#

its always my fault

solid sun
#

Or one of my personal favorites, if Griff is around, what’s Tettles right about this time?

frosty mango
#

Oh man the griff-tettles saga was so good

mighty valley
#

I wonder if the "warrior hard mode, paladin cheesy" stuff was people talking about vanilla

tribal wharf
#

name something paladins cant, warrior can do, hard mode cant say healing

tribal wharf
#

direct charge only thing comes to mind

frosty mango
#

They also can’t leap

#

Or maintain 100% block

#

Or reflect spells

#

Or block spells?

tribal wharf
#

well they get to passively block dot spells, giga reduce there

lusty grotto
#

imagine staying in consecration like an idiot

tribal wharf
#

and bubble, and like 90% of things warrior can

#

virgin reflector vs chad rng spellblocker

lusty grotto
#

gross

frosty mango
#

Yes but you are missing the fundamental difference

tribal wharf
#

capt america

#

healing

lusty grotto
#

virgin rng blocker vs chad 100% blocks

#

F tier tank

tribal wharf
#

im shocked how bad the new doom game is

#

and i really wanted to enjoy it

#

not enjoyable

#

its almost as bad as how dragon flight did dragons wrong

lusty grotto
#

ill take your word for it yogi

tribal wharf
#

dragon on the box, expansion all about dragon and the dragon part sucks dick

#

how

frosty mango
tribal wharf
#

im still mad about it

frosty mango
#

Paladins bad tier list says so

#

Discussion over

mighty valley
#

battle shout

frosty mango
#

(Tier list is sarcasm it’s not real don’t base your play decisions on that)

tribal wharf
#

dragons are supposed to be uhhhh giant flying lizards with razor sharp talons that tear enemy to literal shreds and breathe fire eat like hippogrypths whole probably

lusty grotto
#

alright i give up for today its dune time

tribal wharf
#

they should have brought deathwing back

frosty mango
#

For the third time?

solid sun
#

If they keep bringing deathwing back something might happen as often as Yogi having terrible takes

warm plinth
#

I bought everything. What do

jagged gust

heavy sparrow
pallid quiver
#

or i report

frosty mango
#

how does this happen

#

late night lower keys are scary

#

im reasonably sure you could just spam 1 aoe skill at 670 and do more than 1.9m dps

#

I even tried to help but was yelled at 😦

near salmon
#

no Roid. I think you are the problem here lol

#

you do too much dps

#

kek

frosty mango
#

negative

#

un nerf revenge plz

near salmon
#

but seriously. 3 million overall is very impressive. what key was this?

frosty mango
#

priory thats not too much

near salmon
#

I do 2.2 there. I suck

solid sun
#

Don’t listen to Roid on this one

#

Roid is actually a turbo gamer and has no real perspective of what the rest of us are doing

#

He says things like it’s common knowledge and then finds out loads of us didn’t know whatever the thing was

#

So you don’t suck. You’re just a mortal

near salmon
#

thanks Rhino.

coarse latch
frosty mango
#

that was the next one

#

better players I dont have to blur them out lol

coarse latch
#

That is awesome DPS - you specifically

frosty mango
#

im tryin to crack 4m but im not sure I can yet

coarse latch
#

That is kind of sad

frosty mango
#

not without some real ballers lol

coarse latch
#

Even the rsham damage is low and so sad they have so much cc

#

Wasted

frosty mango
#

hes my buddy hes like 635 lol

#

thats why were runnin

coarse latch
frosty mango
#

damage takes off at lower key levels when youre super geared because you can basically ignore defensive rage use and just full send revenge

frosty mango
#

pretty sure the priest was also PIing me, lol

frosty mango
#

the gap between the 99 percent and the 100 percent is crazy

solid sun
#

It's true

#

How long does MD last roid

#

I know you play hunter too

frosty mango
#

30 buff, 8s once you attack

#

you get 30s to actually start attacking and once you do the threat transfer window is 8 seconds

solid sun
#

Gotcha

frosty mango
#

that priory for me was r23 for all priory 10 keys and then you have this dude

#

who is doing literally 1.5m more

#

some true giga gamers out there

solid sun
#

I think you still classify as a giga gamer

frosty mango
#

no shot

#

im an upper middle class gamer

#

I could maybe ascend to the ranks of like, budget streamer gamer

#

if I tried

solid sun
#

Well you do more damage than me

#

And I'm probably upper middle class

frosty mango
#

thats ok you probably do mechanics

solid sun
#

Well I guess it depends

#

Like if we're talking gamers in general then yeah we probs kinda blow a little bit

#

But if we're talking about wow gamers?

#

You rich af dude

frosty mango
#

I was giga gamer in like mop

solid sun
#

Isn't it typically like only 1/3 or so of the community even snags aotc?

frosty mango
#

I dont think most people are getting to like yoda tier without a signifigant time investment and a lot of networking

#

I'm doing like 16/17 keys and half of a mythic raid tier (though im goin back to ce raiding next month) with moderately decent parses

#

definitely not giga gamer

solid sun
#

Disagreege

coarse latch
#

What percentage of people do 16+ keys?

solid sun
#

I think if you are doing 16/17 keys you're a giga gamer

#

Within the context of WoW

ionic fern
#

You definitely are a giga gamer if you are doing 16/17.

frosty mango
#

Mwahi got a fancy rainbow name so he definitely speaks the truth

round cliff
#

the social disparity grows larger

ionic fern
#

Wha

#

Where did this come from

#

Wtf

#

Top 1 percent is 3.4k.

#

And that's like most 16/17

frosty mango
#

see im not a giga gamer I dont have all my 16s

ionic fern
#

True,then you're in the top 2 percentage.

#

Useless.

frosty mango
#

hopefully by the end of next week, then I will be a giga gamer

#

see, goals

solid sun
#

Mwahi and I have come together to dub thee giga gamer

#

There's no takebacksies

#

I'm choosing to ignore the part where he referred to you as useless

frosty mango
#

thats ok I'm confident

#

im a junior giga gamer, on my 90 day probationary period

solid sun
#

See, I got KSM week 1. This means I was a giga gamer for about 10 hours

#

But then I let it slip

frosty mango
#

once a giga gamer always a giga gamer

mighty valley
#

that’s the top 1% of people who have any mythic+ score

#

which not all wow players have any of lol

ionic fern
#

Jep.

lusty grotto
#

😮

#

mwahi has nice colors

#

where gradient red

jagged gust
ionic fern
#

I prefer solid colors.

ionic fern
#

If you're not in the top 0.0001 percent, why even play,right.

#

Do some keys other posers have already run? Not for me tyvm

#

Also big fan of the rainbow name, makes me think of those rocket popsicles

Looks like I've become big arms man now

@woven scroll mate pm

lusty grotto
#

what

wooden dove
#

i have 681 crafted shield and heroic tier gloves, which one would you get? 684 ilvl shield or mythic track tier gloves with catalyst?

woven scroll
#

hands. cuz of ilvl increase.

lusty grotto
#

shield

#

cause shield ilvl > all

#

and myth shield is better than crafted

woven scroll
#

ye, but only 3 ilvl. and i guess suboptimal sec. stats in this.

lusty grotto
#

negative

woven scroll
#

at least, sim it?

lusty grotto
#

shield ilvl > all

#

you cant sim block

wooden dove
#

im leaning more on the gloves, since i still need 3 tier slots in mythic track, and i am unlucky so that might take a lot of weeks, might not even complete it in this season

ionic nimbus
#

If u dont have mythic shield, always shield

woven scroll
#

ye true. but, on which point in actually content, does this matter?

lusty grotto
#

always shield

#

yes it does

woven scroll
#

def or offensive wise?

lusty grotto
#

brother

#

block has no offensive value

#

why are people asking for your pms

#

when you have no idea what youre talking about and you just joined on feb 2025

woven scroll
#

so, whats the point? how you will die in any content?

lusty grotto
#

the point is, he wont need a shield

#

after that

woven scroll
#

oh, nice offense.. ty

lusty grotto
#

???

woven scroll
#

my point is. if youre not gonna die in any content, dps is always the better option.

lusty grotto
#

no, its not, shield is our bread and butter

#

youre 100% wrong

#

this isnt about defensive trinkets

#

its about directly improving the core gameplay

#

which is blocking

#

besides how many gloves can you get in the pool

#

vs how many shields

#

you're never NOT gonna shield block

woven scroll
#

depends on content you play.. if youre raiding, you have good option from rik.

lusty grotto
#

no, it doesnt depend

#

not in this context

#

his vault has no myth raid slots

woven scroll
#

na, chance on loot

sweet summit
#

if you have to ask then shield is the better choice imo

unless its a myth HoC, pacemaker, tome, kezan, or jastor... unless its any of those at a myth level and only if myth level, you always go with a myth shield

#

other slots need not apply

wooden dove
#

gloves will be a 26 ilvl increase from 658, shield will be 3 ilvl increase from 681, i can technically upgrade current gloves to 671 of course, but im not a m+ spammer, so crests are not in abundance

woven scroll
#

sorry.. i dont get it.. if im not struggling on def in any case, imo more dps is better option to do content faster. m+/raid.

lusty grotto
#

gloves are the least stat slot in our tier

wooden dove
#

getting a mythic track shield on future vaults has a lower chance of happening than getting a mythic track gloves, and that is why youre saying shield i guess

lusty grotto
#

more block value is invaluable

#

no thats not why im saying shield

#

but its a point i did mention

lusty grotto
#

dont do that

wooden dove
#

i usually dont die in any content i do (hardest of them are mostly +10s, which are pretty tame)

lusty grotto
#

right

#

but a myth shield means you would be ready for anything higher than

#

cause there isnt really anything better than

#

having a myth shield and buying a myth tome means you dont even have to open vaults as prot anymore

#

you can go fury, since you can get 1 handers with it

#

i guess the assumption was right

#

🤷‍♂️

#

shield is still the better pick

wooden dove
#

yeah, i also dont see myself completing all +12s anytime soon, so mythic tome will not be buyable, only from vault if im lucky

#

still cant decide 😄 thank you for your inputs ❤️ will postpone the decision to a later day i think

lusty grotto
#

of course

woven scroll
#

😂 that was not my goal. sry for that.

#

its a nice general discussion.
yeah, seems the point on less chances hit you, if youre not myth raiding. so, a myth shield would be rather than some gloves > catalyst.
also i agree on: its better defensive value.
but as ive done myth clear and all m+ on 13, which is more than i wanted to, for my own i rly dont ned more defensive and its much more enjoyable to see higher dmg stats or have less cd's with more hast, than blocking some more dmg in medium content like farming 10/12 m+ keys.

thats my thoughts about the pick.

#

to go for BiS, ye, shield would be better choice, simply cuz of loot chance.

lusty grotto
#

its really not a discussion

#

we recommend myth shield over anything except what i mentioned earlier in here all the time

#

like i said: youre never in a situation where youre not blocking

#

and the only item that increases block value is a shield

#

well, i suppose there is one situation where youre not blocking: when youre not playing correctly by not keeping SB up

woven scroll
#

value. youre anyway to 100% chance i guess, on sb?

lusty grotto
#

value is not chance

woven scroll
#

ye, but you said chance.

lusty grotto
#

oh right

woven scroll
#

and you have 100% with sb

#

its late for me, im NA

#

ahhh..

#

sharp merlin
#

Finally, Myth Mud 😄

lusty grotto
#

i would have socketed instead

#

if you're not memeing that is

#

which i hope you are

jagged pier
#

muds good if your pushing keys

#

its good for priory and flood

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

for a whole 2 dungeons

sharp merlin
#

R-r-rik Reverb here 😄 is it me or the auto attacks got Magic?

lusty grotto
#

physical

#

but not blockable

sharp merlin
#

oh shit

#

No wonder I was sweating

lusty grotto
#

weird i didnt actually feel it

#

except for when the swap was late

sharp merlin
#

Did you wall?

lusty grotto
#

no

sharp merlin
#

You just use IP?

lusty grotto
#

probably, but not any differently than other times

sharp merlin
#

makes sense

#

yeah it was prob cause the swap was late

#

but holy damn 😄 he stings

lusty grotto
#

yeah it starts to hurt there

sharp merlin
#

but yeah I got the Mud for when I do Flood/PSF on 15s

lusty grotto
#

swaps with liquid WAs are on point though

sharp merlin
#

I'm 4 from Resi 14's and then I'll move to 15s

#

and then hang it up for the season

lusty grotto
#

dont think you need mud for prio 15

#

probably 17+

#

and a hero track one is good enough

sharp merlin
#

you say that, but healer's struggle

lusty grotto
#

you want the cdr, the absorb amount difference is not that big

#

uhh you have bad healers i guess

sharp merlin
#

I'm just noticing in my 14 runs

#

dps just die too much lol

#

and I'm not sure if it's a healer issue

lusty grotto
#

ok well that makes sense

sharp merlin
#

or just dps are not hitting their defensives

#

or standing in shit

#

Even if the healer dies, I'm finding it quite rare to die, I think the number 1 cause of me dying is someone ripping aggro when gathering and I panic and try get aggro back and get slapped in the back

lusty grotto
#

yeah that kinda throws you for a loop

solid sun
#

That sounds like you just described not needing mud lol

woven scroll
#

another question to block value: i'm missing the value on actual shields. is there any indicator to compare 2 shields?
and the formula (20str=1 bv) also up to date?

lusty grotto
#

thats not accurate

sharp merlin
#

just incase I blow my walls too quickly

lusty grotto
#

you're gonna need K values

#

i think we calculated them a bit ago, they change every season

solid sun
#

I just thought it was funny that on the heels of revealing you picked myth mud, you then kinda argued against taking mud. Just a silly thing; I'm a big proponent of if you feel safer taking the defensive trinket and it helps you play better it had value

lusty grotto
#

20 strength is NOT equal to 1 BV

solid sun
#

But that's more feelycraft than anything else

lusty grotto
#

hasnt been for expansions

#

there's no relationship between strength and block value

#

probably since cataclysm

sharp merlin
solid sun
#

Why am I compiling shaders everytime I fire up dune

#

Will this ever end

lusty grotto
#

not really

#

every update they make you will have to

sharp merlin
#

I actually love having an extra defensive on the 'incase' shit happens, it's lovely 😄 but I guess if I wanted to squeeze out more dmg, I should just take Tome / Seaforium

lusty grotto
#

same as monster hunter etc

#

also the argument isnt against mud

#

its against picking OR buying a myth one

#

which is a waste

#

cause ultimately you just want the cdr

#

like i mentioned

#

its a dinar that could have gone to something more impactful

#

and/or a vault pick

#

its fine if you dont need anything else though, including sockets, i guess

sharp merlin
#

But not sure what hero track item from Dinars would help tbh

lusty grotto
#

bomb

#

suit

sharp merlin
#

I did get Myth ring in my vault, which I was super happy about

#

ah, I already have it 😄

lusty grotto
#

well then i guess youre fine

#

you only have so many options if you dont raid

#

myth pace, myth tome if you dont have them and hero HoC/bomb suit

solid sun
#

Yeh, I feel like for most of us non-mythic raiders that do keys we mostly have everything we need at this point in the season

lusty grotto
#

yeah in that case its a good pick

sharp merlin
#

yup 😦 sadly, I was in a 14 Theatre yesterday where the healer was 3.4k or something and he posted in the chat how much avoidable dmg the dps took, I was like OHHHH SHIIIIIT he calling you out 😂

lusty grotto
#

are you sure that wasnt just... elitist helper

#

that dogshit addon

sharp merlin
#

no clue

lusty grotto
#

im gonna go ahead and bet that it was

solid sun
#

My favorite version of the elitist helper user is the one where they hide their own damage taken

sharp merlin
#

oh never heard of it before, interesting

lusty grotto
#

for a second i thought you were about to say the one where they dont turn off the chat spam

sharp merlin
#

but yeah, we would have easily timed it, if not for the 15 deaths, 9 were all a mage

lusty grotto
#

kinda surprised you havent seen it before, are you new to keys or something?

#

anyway its fucking terrible

sharp merlin
#

I thought it was through details or something

lusty grotto
#

was it posted after the key was done

sharp merlin
#

Nope, during

lusty grotto
#

ok then it was details

#

and you're right lol

#

elitist helper auto posts after the key is completed

#

or i think when someone leaves

sharp merlin
#

ahh

solid sun
#

Doesn't it do both

#

Or can do both

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats what i mean

#

anyway that addon is garbage and people using it should be muted

#

details is fine though c:

sharp merlin
#

anyway I laughed, the dps were just being a bit lazy, but I almost +2'd the 14ML before, didn't realise one of the dps was playing for Method, completely obliterated packs

lusty grotto
#

#

you can play with them if so

#

which world is it

#

we're on auriga

solid sun
#

warm plinth

You want your shield/weapon to be maxed as soon as possible. ilevel is all that matters for each of them

But if you're intent on deciding between the two slots you already listed, I personally would go for the necklace as it's the largest ilevel bump.

Threat is kinda necessary, to avoid degen gameplay, but - this wont fix the main issue of threat

That is: You cant hit things for enough

cerulean tusk
#

Yes and no, problem is how the DPS is distributed, if it was 1:1 then sure

jagged gust
#

Yeah target caps are the true villain

magic sail
#

Bumping it to 10 wouldn’t hurt, right?

cerulean tusk
#

problem is always if a tank can do 1m DPS and that equals 100m DPS, then the tank can spend all CDs, build up threat. Then kite. That becomes the degen way to play.

Will it happen? Well, only if tanks cant survive content and tank DPS got low value.

hello guys

Target cap isnt why threat is a problem. Burst damage is what causes threat issues

# warm plinth I thought it was still like 550%

650 so said nome, that was 2 threat buffs ago, not sure if these buffs are additive or multiplicative, but we found a 815 threat modifier last time I was asking so it may be a multiplier

warm plinth
#

They're neither. They just change the modifier to x%

#

But they must've stealth buffed it if it was 815? I feel like id remember seeing that but idk

as long it makes ppls lives better, I am all for it.

Tank threat being buffed 16.5% seems weirdly specific

chilly brook
#

I don’t think it’s that specific

#

They just upped the number, it happens to be a 16.5% increase if you look at it from a perspective of the amount of threat gained from what we had already

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Maybe DH won’t feel so stressful on threat anymore lol

frosty mango
#

They changed the modifier from 815% to 950%

chilly brook
#

Right which maths out to 16.5%

#

But like I said I doubt the thought process behind it was “we’re going to do exactly 16.5%”

idle copper
#

Fair one

frosty mango
#

So they increased the modifier by 135%, which can be confusing to think about

chilly brook
#

It was likely more “eh this seems like a big enough jump”

frosty mango
#

Functionally all abilities will do 16.5% more threat today than they did yesterday so writing it that way makes a lot more sense

#

If they said “increased tank threat modifier by 135%” that’s very ambiguous and would undoubtedly lead to problems with communicating the change lol

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

yeah 🤷‍♂️

#

sometimes these numbers are put in that way cause they have an arbitrary number in place they wanna round up, the exact amounts are kind of unknown, we only know because of rough math

hi, i'm a disc priest and i've been having some trouble with prot warriors in particular in my keys the last few days. im farming 13-14s and am pretty comfortable on both my class and the dungeons.

what's shield block's uptime supposed to be in keys? i had a warrior yesterday with 24% uptime and a warrior today with 43% and i felt like i had to babysit both of them. these are like 3.1k and 3.2k players btw

#

(sorry if this is not the correct place to ask)

is there any explainable reason why uptime would be so low? like is ignore pain more important or smth?

Like if we dont have shield block uptime 85-90%, healers will notice our HP starting to yo-yo

Shield block not up=deader than a bdk that doesn’t know what deathstrike does

Rampage BsV to the rescue

When I was doing my enterprising healer the prot warr for the floodgate had a crisp 26% SB uptime

#

Was the only dungeon I struggled to heal for that reason alone
