I can see if blizzard listen to feedback from people primarily using 1 button rotation (which will be most, since it's better than most players)

#

some really bad changes coming down the road

#

but I am DOOMING

dense mango
#

the thing is that like

round pendant
#

if anything it should have strictly been purely an accessibility thing doing like 30% of a sim's output

dense mango
#

sure removing the reliance on weak auras is good inc concept

warm plinth
#

He's dooming ladies and gents, stand clear

dense mango
#

but I dont believe blizzard can do it

bleak breach
#

I honestly doubt that many players will use the button, will be interesting what % of players do. Especially in raiding/m+

dense mango
#

like wasnt the cooldown manager ass

round pendant
#

yeah everything they release sucks for the first year or two

bleak breach
#

I wonder if anyone doing mythic would use it? Probably shouldn’t be there if you need it for that I guess

round pendant
#

top 1000? probably some

warm plinth
#

They can't do it in the way that they will replace it with something else; that would never work. But if they replace it with something toned down and adjust mechanics to compensate, it can be done. It's going to be a rocky as fuck transition though

dense mango
round pendant
#

like 70% of a sim + not having to think about it so you can focus 100% on mechanics

#

is so absurdly better than most players

#

it's unreal

bleak breach
#

Wonder how parses will work?
Do you think it will show who is using the button and who isn’t,

#

70% is assuming they still press that button enough lol

round pendant
#

only in the sense they'll have a gcd delay

#

regarding people not pressing damage cds too

#

will this frees up thought for that too

#

but if it's a big enough issue and enough people complain I'm sure they'll get added to itcritcake

warm plinth
#

Literally had to go look up a video; I completely forgot about that room 😂

round pendant
#

I'm not a gatekeeper tho guys

#

trust me sadge

warm plinth
#

In BFA you definitely didn't wanna fight more than one of those though (well, maybe some groups would have wanted to)

#

So it's just a relic of the original version

solid sun
#

Disable it in mythic raid and after a certain key level

warm plinth
round pendant
#

I wouldn't

#

imagine looking at the difference and seeing the bottom 20% of 1-button percentiles being equivalent to the top 30% of manual percentiles

#

I'd uninstall

#

that's exaggerated but you get my point lmao

warm plinth
#

Yeah idk, I can't possibly see it bothering me in the slightest

solid sun
#

I wouldn’t care

#

Pressing all my buttons is fun

frosty mango
#

im gonna go run a key as arms

#

and use one button

#

see how this does

solid sun
#

If I suck and people pressing one button beat me I’m sorry they’re doing it the boring way

warm plinth
#

Yeah, my fun doesn't come from a 70% parse; it comes from playing the game. If other people have fun that way, more power to them but it doesn't affect me.

old flame
#

Is there a breakpoint for the belt?

round pendant
#

I agree that's why I don't really care about hekili users

warm plinth
#

Wdym by breakpoint?

round pendant
#

I just think putting it all in one button is.. not good

#

for the community, for the game

old flame
#

Like if I already have a 684 belt

#

Is it an upgrade

warm plinth
#

Sim it I'd imagine

#

But probably since they buffed the shit out of it

old flame
#

Mmk

warm plinth
#

ngl kind of assumed we'd have a recommendation article or something for each spec

solid sun
#

It's WoW vacation time

old flame
#

There's one up

#

For which disks to use

#

For every spec

warm plinth
#

Yeah I checked the guide for the recommendation, but it didn't really answer his question. Guess the answer is just sim

chilly brook
#

belt is capped at 691 this week yea?

nocturne spindle
#

mastery verison for M+

#

single target zap for single target

chilly brook
#

that wasn't the quuuueeeeessstioooon

nocturne spindle
#

too bad

chilly brook
#

also isn't the haste one better for m+? or is wowhead cappin

nocturne spindle
#

idk mastery simmed better for me

#

the haste one was nerfed at some point

chilly brook
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

nocturne spindle
#

the screenshots add nothing

#

since it doesnt list the name

#

but it was spark burst single target electric current multi target

#

(and spark burst very bad in M+ so wowhead very wrong)

frosty mango
#

so I just tested one button as arms

#

it was not a small loss

round pendant
#

lmao

#

it was a large one, right?

frosty mango
#

i did top 10 and ended at 2.3m overall

#

usually closer to 4m

#

or 4m

round pendant
#

thank god

#

4m in a top 10?

frosty mango
#

yeah you get the affix buff

#

in 10

round pendant
#

4m in a top 10 is absurd

frosty mango
#

its really not, its a great arms dungeon lol

round pendant
#

even considering active time because details

#

4m is #1

frosty mango
#

4m details is like 3.2-3.3m logs

#

because theres huge runtimes in top

round pendant
#

yeah I understand that

#

but 4m is #1, #50 is 3.5m

frosty mango
#

I had a ret pal do like 4.5 in my key the other day

#

lemme see if I logged it

round pendant
#

but yeah, I'm not surprised it's bad in m+ especially for arms

#

does it even make you do sweeping strikes?

frosty mango
#

yeah it does

round pendant
#

and I figure it's just wasting warbreaker if it even uses it?

#

arms requires a bit of a conditional thing to optimise the dam

frosty mango
#

it does seem to waste warbreaker but the biggest struggle is it sent demolish on cd

#

regardless

#

so if I wasnt a standard one button enjoyer id have died 3 times

round pendant
#

can you compare your boss damage to your other runs?

frosty mango
#

because it demolished me in mehcanics

round pendant
#

curious about that

frosty mango
#

uh i dont really log keys much

#

i did 1.79m on last boss

cinder marsh
#

ok so i dont know what to choose. i got three items of intrest, 1. the strapped rescue keg necklace, MYTH TRACK, while i have a champion flickering glowtorc on currently, HERO TRACK shoulders while i currently have champ track and finally the improvised seaforium pacemaker trink hero track.

#

but the thing is i currently have both hero track tome trink and eye trink

jagged gust
#

Well normally I'd say it's a sim angle

cinder marsh
#

i never really sim tanks

jagged gust
#

you should

cinder marsh
#

cause sim is based off damage

#

and i just want survivalbility

jagged gust
#

damage = survivability

cinder marsh
#

i do enough damage

mighty valley
#

but also there’s a pretty strong correlation between damage done in sim and your defenses

#

obviously it doesn’t catch stuff like defensive trinket actives etc

#

but when it’s just stat comparing, it’s as close as we’re gonna get

cinder marsh
#

yea sim is saying neck

#

is wowhead just not updated yet or is the new lego belt not our BIS?

lunar jackal
#

is the APL uptaded for the belt?

warm plinth
#

how are you simming it

#

There's no APL update needed for the belt; it has no active effect.

#

Oh top gear, I see. Yeah idk, which disc are you simming in it?

lunar jackal
#

charged bolts

warm plinth
#

What kind of sim is that? ST?

lunar jackal
#

Yeah patchwerk 1 target 5 mins

warm plinth
#

yeah not sure idk. It sims better for me but I also only had a 658 belt

lunar jackal
#

yeah mine is 684 crit haste XD

#

that's why i was wondering

#

cause the difference is not even close

#

yeah im gonna go hide under a rock

#

no idea how the f i read that but i had the belt equipped lol the "not an upgrade" is the 684 belt not being an upgrade lol

warm plinth
#

You're doing great buddy

frosty mango
#

ok @round pendant

#

i did another 10 and I finished at 3.7m details dps

warm plinth
#

as not prot I assume lol

frosty mango
#

no arms lol

#

thats without one button

#

last boss I did 2.9m vs 1.79m as one buttom

warm plinth
#

did you do the OB one already?

frosty mango
#

so yes its a massive diff

#

lol

warm plinth
#

wow

#

and you're not even good at the game

#

KIDDING

#

🏃‍♂️

frosty mango
#

tbh i tweaked hekili

#

for arms

#

i just do what it says and use my brain when I think i need to call audible

warm plinth
#

Brain use is cringe -someone, probably

frosty mango
#

warrior has a phenomenal apl

lunar jackal
round pendant
#

yeah I never expected the one button thing to do well in keys for some classes

lunar jackal
#

any class tbh

round pendant
#

but they'll change it

#

no, not any class

#

some classes are fine with it

lunar jackal
#

i tested my enhance shaman on it and they are using tempest as soon as you have it lul

round pendant
#

anything that doesn't have giga conditional pumps

frosty mango
#

the single target damage is actually where the difference is imo

#

its severe

#

at least for arms

round pendant
#

did you press your cds manually?

#

or strictly one button

frosty mango
#

for one button I sent cds as soon as they were up

#

for my actual run I used my brain

#

I think it has a better use case on tanks tbh

#

The amount of tanks I see with abysmal dps is way higher than actual dps classes

viral jackal
#

Anyone have a good survival build for mythic Sprocket?

Don't have chromebustable and looking for a build that'll help me deal with big party pack damage

frosty mango
#

It’s blockable

viral jackal
#

the party pack is?!?!

frosty mango
#

Yes

viral jackal
#

omfg I feel like a moron lol

frosty mango
#

There’s a spreadsheet in the pins that shows all the blockable/reflectable/deflectable abilities

viral jackal
#

I feel like I've tried it in the past but perhaps I wasn't facing boss?

#

apparently spell block also works no kiddin

cinder marsh
#

ffs

#

i hate delves

#

why did they have to make this belt about delves

jagged gust
#

only need to do 3, 2 to get the belt and a third for the aoe enchant

cinder marsh
#

wdym 3 2

viral jackal
#

what aoe enchant?

cinder marsh
#

no he said only need to do 3 2

cerulean tusk
#

No, he used a comma. That is the , in between 3 and 2. So, you need only to do 3 runs, (comma) of 2 is to get the item, then the 3rd run to get the final configuration (or belt enchant/effect).

cinder marsh
#

ok so i just turned in the quest to get the belt so i need to do 1 more?

cerulean tusk
#

Dont even have to. But you can do more to unlock more optional effects. Most want the ST and AoE effect options.

cinder marsh
#

ok im looking at these abilities when right clicking the belt, are these the enchants?

cerulean tusk
#

I presume that is what ppl mean when they say enchant, yep

cinder marsh
#

ok then why do i only have 2 unlocked?

#

and how do i find whats the best ones

#

cause wowhead aint telling me nothing

#

nvm on the last part

#

lol

cerulean tusk
viral jackal
#

wonder if it got patched?

cinder marsh
#

does it matter what diff i do the delves to get the enchants?

sinful copper
cinder marsh
#

same

#

i was like i finna speed run this

lament sedge
#

lol what a weird vault, triple trinket. House of cards, Bomb suit, scrapfield 9001

cinder marsh
#

that is weird

round cliff
#

is there a deterministic way to get this set

#

ive done tons of delves and only have 1 piece

#

i want the tmog

warm plinth
#

Looks like it drops from map/bountiful coffers

#

You can also get alternate pieces from the PvP vendor in Dornagol for bloody tokens

round cliff
#

those are red arent they

warm plinth
#

idk wowhead says it's part of the same set and I can't tell what color it is

undone beacon
hollow hill
#

Anyone have experience on Mythic One Arm? I seem to be dying somewhat randomly to The Big Hit, even with defensives up. Seems like sometimes it does my entire health bar, other times i don't even notice the hit

frosty mango
#

Should be easily solvable with a Quick Look

hollow hill
#

Will post in a sec

#

I have a feeling it's on me, probably dropped shield block by accident while focusing on so much other stuff

#

First night of prog on this fight for my guild

#

I switched to using chromebustible bomb suit and that's helped the last few pulls when there was a lot of other damage going out

frosty mango
#

Is there a specific pull number

#

Where you noticed it

hollow hill
#

Sorry for late response been doing rapid fire pulls lol

#

Maybe pull 6? Looks like it hit me for my entire health bar that time

#

Pull 11 I also got 1 hit. That was probably me getting up after a brez and not having anything up but taunting right away and jsut getting smacked

shut summit
#

your deaths are just to block downtime, get rid of spell block and take bolster and just pay attention to making sure its up for big hit

hollow hill
#

That is what I figured. I'm getting better as the pulls go on

shut summit
#

should also swap to enduring defenses instead of massacre if you are dying that much, your damage wont matter for killing the boss as much as living will

hollow hill
#

I did swap to enduring defenses actually, i imported the talent build for one arm from wowhead and that has it

#

Thanks for the advice!

shut summit
#

only looked at pull 6 and 11 you mentioned, should be better now then

cinder marsh
#

do we get any good gear from hitting 2k?

round pendant
#

you get a catalyst charge

frosty mango
#

@cinder marsh eyyy prob wanna delete that

cinder marsh
#

kid was on srry

#

do they take offense to jibberish lols

frosty mango
#

naw looked like a password

cinder marsh
#

oh lols

frosty mango
#

there doesnt seem to be any correlation to inbound damage events to when you cast it

hollow hill
#

Yea I was definitely hitting it by accident or when I thought I would be taking some damage preemptively

frosty mango
#

tell the higher ground folks chimi says hello, not sure if any of them are prog raiding still but I've known some of them for many years

#

back to the vanilla era

hollow hill
#

I think this guild was formed back in BFA so might be a different higher ground actually. I know there's two of them out on the armory

frosty mango
#

Naw it’s the right one I recognized some names lol

hollow hill
#

Interesting! I will ping the old GM and see if he remembers the name lol

frosty wave
#

Hello everyone I'm kinda new to prot and tanking
How do you pull and gather a pack all together without giving your back ?
I feel like I miss something
I'm doing 12 with 670 ilvl but the few 12 I've done I felt like I was carried by my mates
So idk do you have any advice on how to pull or enter a pack ?
I've been told not to pull with charge or leap because Autos can synchronise and one shot me

#

I've been using throw like a gdruid could use lunar to pull but idk

narrow ether
#

gotta strafe

frosty wave
#

Yeah but still mobs can reach your back no ?

narrow ether
#

lesser chance as compared to completely facing your back to them

mighty valley
#

just think about the angles between each pack and make sure you don't have to run through one to get to another

narrow ether
#

during gather it is very difficult to face every single mob so you gotta be quick, i'll normally charge into first pack + shield block + shield wall immediately, then move off with another charge or leap, etc

past cobalt
#

the one shield that doesn't have haste in vault >_> still worth it over 681 crafted shield?

narrow ether
#

shield wall should be enough to keep you healthy during gather

narrow ether
#

almost reaching -20% penalty lol

past cobalt
#

this is just my M+ alt that I'm gearing now. I guess I'd love 600 haste but I'm at 34% right now which even if I unequip my shield it stays at 34 lmao

frosty wave
# narrow ether shield wall should be enough to keep you healthy during gather

I'll try
I have a macro with block and clap and the slam/pain macro it helps me a lot to keep buffs up

I had anothr question on stats, is it worth to put on some versatility in ? I have around 36% haste 30% crit I did some gems in Vers/haste and have a haste/vers ring but idk if I should go full haste/crit mode

past cobalt
#

I guess I'd lose 1% but big shield is probably worth? then I can start trying to snipe a 2H for Fury ;-;

frosty wave
#

What's that weak aura ?

#

And what is it for ?

narrow ether
frosty wave
#

Yeah but is there a cap ?

#

On haste ?

narrow ether
#

theres no cap, just diminishing returns

frosty wave
#

And also why is mastery not good ? Defensively it feels insane

mighty valley
#

we're already insanely strong against phys damage with just regular shield block

frosty wave
#

I like being able to do big dam but I don't see any prot going haste mastery for example

frosty wave
narrow ether
#

crit gives us parry, and helps with 4piece tier bonus

frosty wave
#

Mastery gives mitig that's why I'm asking though

mighty valley
earnest cove
#

Mastery gives AP too

frosty wave
earnest cove
#

And all stats are good

frosty wave
narrow ether
#

like strafing rookery last boss tank buster

past cobalt
#

does prot not use a second embellished piece? the bis list on wowhead only uses the wrists

frosty wave
narrow ether
#

yea it does

#

i get 10% movespeed out of the gem

frosty wave
frosty wave
past cobalt
#

I have duskthread on wrist, but just got a 684 shield from vault

narrow ether
#

during gather try to get your teammates to give you speed as well, helps alot

earnest cove
#

Boots/cloak the other

narrow ether
#

shaman wind rush, druid roar, pally freedom, monk thingy, etc

#

just remember that shield charge is a charge as well

#

i use it during gather + gives free shield block

#

so i can use rage for IP or revenge instead during gather

frosty wave
narrow ether
#

also when you leap, dont leap into the middle of a pack.
leap to the side of it

#

prevents sync'd melee swings and still in range of thunder clap

frosty wave
#

I usually charge clap in a pack throw in another and/or taunt on a last then revenge/clap to get aggro but I still miss some mobs

narrow ether
#

its alot easier to gather as a druid haha i understand that cos my main is bear this season as well, warrior is my alt

#

just spam moonfire and everything comes to u

frosty wave
#

Yeah exactly

#

I'm learning tank with prot warrior
I really liked playing it during BFA because it felt really strong and I have the same smooth feeling on tww
But I never really learnt tanking

#

I'm committed to it

narrow ether
#

im playing mountain thane because i like it, it makes gathering alot easier as well

frosty wave
#

I don't like colossus I'm playing it on arms and demolish feels so clunky

narrow ether
#

honestly just take your time to gather, dont need to rush and gather quickly like vdh

#

make sure you have aggro on stuff you pull before going off to the next pack

#

most dps wants to ramp during gather and it sucks when they rip threat and it makes gathering 1000x harder

frosty wave
#

Yeah I felt that especially when I'm target capped and not the dps

narrow ether
#

yup victim of blizz's vision lol

#

tank target capped vs uncapped dps

frosty wave
#

Sadge

#

Do you have any macro that I could use to help reducing APM/buttons ? Lol

narrow ether
#

hmm not really i just bind IP to mousewheelup

#

my left hand is busy enough

#

also theres the shield block shield slam macro

#

but thats about it

frosty wave
#

Ok so I have both

narrow ether
#

heroic throw on mouseover makes it easier as well

frosty wave
#

I have IP/slam macro
Clap/block

narrow ether
#

during gather

frosty wave
#

Yeah I have that as well

narrow ether
#

i wouldnt macro IP to slam

frosty wave
#

It's even advised here on the discord

narrow ether
#

use IP manually helps alot

#

lol really

#

i mean for bear i just macro ironfur to stuff

nocturne spindle
#

No

#

You macro slam to ip

#

Not ip to slam

frosty wave
frosty wave
narrow ether
#

if you macro ip to slam, will be spamming IP when you are using slam

nocturne spindle
#

You still have a standalone shield slam button you always use when you want to shield slam

#

But you also put shield slam on the button you press when you want to use IP

frosty wave
#

Don't you so both with the macro ?

nocturne spindle
#

No

narrow ether
#

no

#

shield slam on its own

frosty wave
#

So I don't understand what the macro does

narrow ether
#

you macro shield slam with IP and shield block because you can snipe shield slam as IP and shield block are off GCD

nocturne spindle
#

It does very little tbh

narrow ether
#

helps with apm

nocturne spindle
#

It's a minor optimization but it's free

frosty wave
#

Better to have 2 buttons then

narrow ether
#

so basically TLDR,
your SHIELD SLAM button should not be a macro

nocturne spindle
#

All it does is hit shield slam a little bit faster if it resets when your gonna hit IP

narrow ether
#

but your IP and SHIELD BLOCK buttons can have shield slam in them

#

shield slam button no macro, just stand alone

frosty wave
#

Ok understand

narrow ether
#

then manually top up IP

#

i bind it to mousewheelup lol because left hand is busy enough

frosty wave
#

Yeah I'll try that

narrow ether
#

some people like to bind IP and shield block to mousewheelup and down

#

so the mousewheel is incharge of active mitigation

frosty wave
#

And zoom ?

#

Lol

narrow ether
#

zoom not really impt, mine is CTRL + mousewheelup and down

#

dont really use it in combat

frosty wave
#

Ok

#

I'm at work today but will correct my bars tonight

#

Is the gallywix shield better than a crafter one ?

narrow ether
#

tbh when i first started out with prot warrior it wasnt a very "enjoyable" spec because of APM overload on left hand, but after i did my bindings better its one of the most fun tanks to me

narrow ether
frosty wave
#

Ok

narrow ether
#

if not ilvl is more impt

frosty wave
#

Ok

narrow ether
#

shield has our key stats

#

block

frosty wave
#

Makes sens

frosty wave
narrow ether
#

yea i missed out of the BFA thunderclap era, so now im mountain thane and CLAPPIN

frosty wave
#

Exactly my feeling

#

Is there a way to SIM tankiness ?

#

I feel way better now that I configured my BW to make tank buster more visible
But is there a vocal announcer for that ?

nocturne spindle
#

If you do more damage you become tanker

#

Warrior loves going brrrr

frosty wave
#

Fair point

narrow jay
#

what belt item we using?

#

for the delve belt

rough egret
#

Haste proc

narrow jay
#

same for raid as well?

ionic fern
#

Charged Bolts.

#

For m+ you can run either.

nocturne spindle
#

Sim the stat procs

#

Charge bolts single target

#

Mastery on belt sims way higher for me

bleak breach
#

Yo guys, the like ‘talents’ for the belt. I.e movement speed, strength, stam and mastery bonus.
Are they only delve specific or does that work everywhere?

blazing ridge
#

Always take shield from the vault If I only got a crafted one?

#

Just took its, its a Nobrainer I guess..

#

couldve been a worse Shield I guess

bleak breach
#

Yeah definitely a good shield

blazing ridge
#

Time to push some 12 this week so I can finally get some good trinkets in

hearty kettle
#

Mythic trinket or shoulders? its my alt

bleak breach
#

Trink is bis

#

But I mean you could buy with curios if you complete all 12s vs can’t buy tier

rough egret
#

delves now gives 9 more glided crests /week

hearty kettle
# bleak breach Trink is bis

That is what im thinking about. We have 6 puzzles right? So i could buy pacemaker/tome/chromebust - im only playing m+ with this alt. Is tome also usefull in m+?

#

So regarding this it would be a valid option to take the shoulders. Or are there any other items which makes more sense then those two trinkets?

bleak breach
#

From a pure M+ pool I’d say nothing would really beat trinkets.
Maybe weapon or shield, but worst case can craft those.

#

I use pacemaker and Tome

#

Only thing really better is eye of Kezan

jagged pier
#

after 6 mins and non stop combat

bleak breach
#

^

#

Jakey have you guys get CE?

jagged pier
#

yes

bleak breach
#

Yeah nice

#

We got Mug’zee to 2% last week.
Should’ve killed but had one of those days

jagged pier
#

happenss will die this week if u all get belt

bleak breach
#

Yeah, should go down pretty easy.
Then Gally hopefully next week. Doubt we get both in same week.

#

We only raid 2 days 2.5hours so don’t spend a lot of time in there

hearty kettle
sharp merlin
#

It to be a shield riiight?

jagged pier
#

yes

bleak breach

#

signed bad right? I have delve champion track ones only so far..
so it might be boots..

severe wadi
#

what belt power do we use?

jagged pier
severe wadi
#

i wouldnt even know how to sim it

#

so as you havnt posted any pins about im asking?>

remote dawn
#

@updates

#

but why i not see the dmg in details? when it is uptodate

ionic fern
#

@severe wadi

#

This is with the default simc profile. Stat buff effects depend fully on your current stats.

#

Charged Bolts for ST and Spark Burst for AoE should be more or less safe bets for majority of people. The mastery buff might pull ahead in damage for aoe.

rough egret
#

can we change powers inside m+?

delicate brook
#

what's the info on the belt, is there any point in getting the defensive ones for m+ or do we just send crit chain? 😄

severe wadi
#

this will be s stupid question but i want to craft a neck - how do i sim for it to tell me what stats i should use on missive?

#

without doing like 8 different sims?

delicate brook
# ionic fern Literally 2 messages above.

yes numbers are very useful but as I was asking maybe there's a defensive option I could equip that will let me get slapped less next time I walk into an 18/19 that can't be expressed with a sim

hardy snow
severe wadi
#

with these stats and this neck current - what missive would you put on a crafted neck

#

should i go haste verse not to lose the 6 percent verse and have it go to 2 percent or crit haste?

Is the Belt an upgrade from the get go or only at max ilvl?

ionic fern

Probably at 691 already.

Sim yourself to be sure.

It's like a 1% upgrade over a 684 crit/haste for me, at 691

I’m like full bis and belt was still an upgrade for me. .8%

Same for me it was 1.2% over my 681 crit haste

Why do prot warriors run dracthyr? I’ve seen it but don’t understand

urban portal

they like it

jagged pier
#

Because its goated for tmog

ive heard someone say the double jump on dracthyr translates to like 130% movespeed when you spam it?

not sure if thats true.

can you minmax it like dh can?

Charged bolts is like 3rd on my dmg list am I bad and not using enough spells or what lmao

Charged bolts is 3rd? sounds low key op to myself

its hard to tell without lorgs

blazing ridge

#

Somehow it didnt log the run correctly

gonna do another one

I mean I know I am using IP too often where I could maybe get a few Revenges more in

but like

its on 3rd? wtf

cerulean tusk

1.73% sounds like what I would expect

blazing ridge

or am i dumb

cerulean tusk

It seems to be overwriting the Hero Talent visual in details

blazing ridge

Oh

Ic

#

so im dumb

#

xd

cerulean tusk

Guess details is working by name and not spell ID

#

so they get combined

blazing ridge

#

yeah you can click it and then it shows the dmg from the procc

cerulean tusk

We should spread the word that it is that powerful

blazing ridge

just under half of hero talent aint half bad honestly

the new belt is pretty good...

and its take like 10 mins to get

sims are sims shruge

@frosty mango apparently tettles was hitting top dps in a +15 on ptr with one button

#

idk what spec he was playing tho

jagged pier
#

he was playing boomkin

round pendant
#

also guess it depends on if the other people were using it too to test

jagged pier
#

and he could be playing with bad ppl

round pendant
#

and what specs they were

jagged pier
#

mage and dk

#

i believe

torn gulch
#

i think all of those peeps were using the one button as well

#

if i remember right

round pendant
#

oh I found the video

frosty mango
#

He was playin boomy and I saw that and looked at the log I dunno if it’s really a viable test

jagged pier
#

its not

#

hes just mad that its good enough his money from guide vids is out the window

round pendant
#

lol

#

I strongly disagree with that take

frosty mango
#

I mean yes it did perform well but also his two partner dps are doing like gray parse level key relative dps so yeah starfall is gonna starfall

round pendant
#

I already crashed out over this tho

torn gulch
#

i find it very hard to believe that the one button rotation will be better than actually playing the class well

jagged pier
#

i mean again guys theres already ppl playing at the top level with a mcaro

#

it changes nothing

#

literally nothing

round pendant
#

It does tho, as this is officially endorsed by blizzard and affects their decision making for future content and design

#

Now it's doomerism but that's the way I see it going

#

imo it should be nerfed and only for accessibility

frosty mango
#

You’ll generally find that I am super unsupporting of content creators who use clickbait thumbnails and bombastic titles to generate clicks and offer very little data or real information in their videos

jagged pier
#

its alwasy been endorsed becuase they dont ban ppl for the macro the start with because accessibility

frosty mango
#

I think it’s abuse of their platform and actively harms the community

jagged pier
#

expect like demo which if and only if u use your cds perfectly is it then a 8% loss

round pendant
#

You could argue that not banning it is endorsing it, but that's still different to actually incorporating it into the design of the game

frosty mango
#

If you watch the video and look at the log for the run it’s (imo) apparent it only did as well as it did because things lived long enough for starfall to do the legwork

#

But it’s also apparent that it does perform relatively well for boomy

torn gulch
#

i really want to see a series where someone takes title with the one button

#

in m+

round pendant
#

it's greyparsing in a +17

#

that's still insanely better than 99% of players

#

It's whatever

#

I hope I'm wrong about the direction the game will take after this

#

this combined with the atrocious story writing

torn gulch
#

people are afraid that the game will go the direction of ff14 with spec and role omogenisation

round pendant
#

It really is funny how ff14 is notorious for having a tiny skill gap and no skill expression

#

and yet wow gets THIS first lmao

#

imo this should be strictly awful and for accessibility (so people can at least play the game if they have disabilities) but it should be out performed by 30 minutes of learning your class

jagged pier
#

so ppl with accessibility issues cant push content or do mythci raid?

#

thats seems a bit ableist of u

round pendant
#

Is that a joke?

jagged pier
#

no are u scared of getting out performed by someone like i dont give a shit about the one button macro i dont think anyone else should ither

#

if your trash i understand why your so angry

round pendant
#

I shouldn't have to say it, but I have nothing against people with disabilities lol

jagged pier
#

well u obivously do

#

because u dont want them to enjoy the game how they see fit

round pendant
#

lol

jagged pier
#

if u cant outperform the button use it or unsub shruge

frosty mango
#

I was kinda chuffed up at first but honestly idc now. They nerfed it so the theoretical max performance is below max performance for a person playing without it

#

If I’m getting outperformed that’s just an indicator I need to up my play

round pendant
#

I already explained my reasoning and none of it has to do with my performance relative to someone using it

solid sun
#

If they outperform me I’ll challenge them to a 1v1 on Final Destination and show them what for!

frosty mango
#

My only remaining complaint is that it’s clearly gonna be a lot better for some specs than others which might create some interesting scenarios

jagged pier
#

but im saying u should be mad now tho already since u started playing because its in the game

#

but u dont seem to care until now

round pendant
#

And you're comparing performance vs a sim vs max performance of a player

jagged pier
#

im literally comparing to just playing not talking about sims at all

round pendant
jagged pier
#

they are adding it because they already part of the game through the addons

solid sun
#

How is adding Hekili bad for the game lol

jagged pier
#

they are moving addons to be ingame

#

its literally the reason its coming because ppl use them so much

#

and are at the top level already

frosty mango
round pendant
#

It's not comparable at all

#

If you're trying to compare where people will be with it compared to where they are NOW

solid sun
#

Well when you’re as good as Roid it is

#

He basically is a robot

frosty mango
#

I dunno have you seen my dps parses lul

round pendant
#

saying "oh it's not big deal cause it's 10% nerfed" isn't a good point when it's 10% off of a sim lol

frosty mango
round pendant
#

how skilled

frosty mango
#

Depends on the class

round pendant
#

So it's fine if you can outperform it by being a top 2% player?

cerulean tusk
#

Sure why not

frosty mango
#

You’re changing the argument

round pendant
#

because 90% off sim will put you in the top few percentile

#

on certain bosses/etc

jagged pier
#

u do know our one button doesnt even use like spear or roar

#

or other things

frosty mango
#

The tuning of the thing is separate from the existence of the thing

jagged pier
#

so it is literally far behind

cerulean tusk
#

Jakey, dont move the goalpost. We talking training dummies scenarios here

jagged pier
#

still that same thing

cerulean tusk
#

No mechanics, no amps, no dead phases

#

Just standing still, pressing button

frosty mango
#

So if a class is tuned so that it performs very close to theoretical max yeah that’s probably an issue - but also easily solved

#

But if it’s like arms warrior

round pendant
#

yeah tbf it's bad enough for tanks that idc about it

frosty mango
#

It’s gonna be poopy land

round pendant
#

but it's way too good for some dps specs

cerulean tusk
#

Way too good, as in?

round pendant
#

MM hunter is 10% off optimal in aoe as far as I've heard

torn gulch
#

is way too good for example for mm and bm hunter

round pendant
#

warlock is gross

#

but I think even 30% off optimal is too strong

cerulean tusk
#

Why? It doesnt use CDs smartly or anything

frosty mango
#

If it’s tuned in a way that it performs for a class very close to optimal then high end players will feel obligated to use it in prog because it reduces cognitive load

round pendant
#

Just because of the combination of it freeing up cognitive load

#

plus doing decent/good damage

frosty mango
#

But again that is a tuning issue that is easily balanced

torn gulch
#

you realistically can have 90% of mm and bm hunters change to it and perform better than before kekw

round pendant
#

yeah but I'm only commenting on the current state

frosty mango
#

So your issue isn’t with the existence but with the tuning/balance?

round pendant
#

if they tune it to be bottom 50% of players performance NOW I won't care anymore

#

It just shouldn't be competitive with someone actually TRYING

frosty mango
#

so by your logic it’s really no different than class balancing

round pendant
#

because that completely destroys the incentive to learn and play well and actually play the game

cerulean tusk
#

If you aint 95+% parsing, are you even trying tho? And those ppl are doing 99% of potential

jagged pier
#

i mean i am, but cant ebcause im doing all the tank mechanics

round pendant
cerulean tusk
#

Only difference will be that 95% becomes a 90% parse. As the avg increases from 0 to 90.

frosty mango
round pendant
#

95% of potential puts you at a 99% parse

#

probably less tbh

frosty mango
#

I been coasting on the weakaura tts sound lockup thing to blame my greeding all expansion

torn gulch
#

I'm looking at tettles now and doing what he's doing in a 17 with one button should not be a thing

#

actually yikes

frosty mango
#

Boomy isn’t exactly a big brain spec

solid sun
#

I don’t really like that entire experiment

#

Tettles isn’t exactly the target member of the community for the tool

round pendant
#

I mean, they're all using it right?

#

and still timing a 17?

jagged pier
#

no only tettles

#

from what we know

round pendant
#

oh they mistimed it actually

torn gulch
#

not timing but doing enough dps to time it

cerulean tusk
#

To be fair, the DPS check in a 17 aint exactly high

frosty mango
#

Well like it or not blizzard is going to continue down this road because
A - addons are bad for the game
B - blizz wants to capture the console market

jagged pier
#

i mean control support is already an addon

#

nothing to do with obm

round pendant
#

The only addons that are bad for the game are raid mechanic solvers

#

that's my hot take

frosty mango
#

So addons are bad for both continuing game health and console play therefore this train is already on the tracks and rolling

#

Blizz isn’t going to reverse course

round pendant
#

like those actively influence the design of boss fights in a negative way

#

The problem is solveable by pretending they don't exist btw

#

if you design content that doesn't need them then people won't use them

#

It's not solved by gutting addons

cerulean tusk
#

Nah, I would use em if they make it even easier

frosty mango
#

That’s very much not true lol

solid sun
#

That’s not true

jagged pier
#

right have u read what they are doing next tier?

round pendant
#

wdym, plenty of boss mechanics this tier had no solvers required other than a couple that were designed poorly and people hated those fights

frosty mango
#

You don’t need addons to do ff14 bosses at all AND it’s not “easy” to install them and they are still prolific

#

People will always find a way

round pendant
#

Well, you'll never stop people from cheating

#

But you don't design your game around it

frosty mango
#

But they did

#

Can’t put the cat back in the bag

round pendant
#

Blizz did yeah because they chose to acknowledge their existence in their design of content

#

which is the mistake

#

the mistake isn't allowing it to exist (since you can't prevent it, it's an uphill battle anyway)

frosty mango
#

They put themselves into a corner and with revenue falling they are going to try to milk this cow for all they can

#

That means console ports and addons are bad for consoles

#

By the end of next expansion imo we won’t have much addon functionality at all

round pendant
#

wow on console won't be successful at all

#

that's my prediction

frosty mango
#

Doesn’t need to be successful

#

Just needs people to buy it and sub

torn gulch
frosty mango
#

You’re thinking successful means popular but what it really means is short term profitable

round pendant
#

The simplest answer isn't some grand plan to modernise wow and get it on the console

#

just that they're clueless

frosty mango
#

I have a much more capitalistic world view lol. Like any business they will make decisions based on short term profit growth

round pendant
#

I was initially all for the reduction of addons impacts but the way it's going just feels like a mistake to me

frosty mango
#

They absolutely know what they are doing

round pendant
#

do they?

cerulean tusk
#

Guaranteed

solid sun
#

Yes

round pendant
#

Blizz with their games is in an infinite loop of throwing away any goodwill and then farming it back a little every other season/expansion

cerulean tusk
#

This be how corps do it

round pendant
#

And people still keep putting trust in their competency lol

solid sun
#

I think you’re on Reddit too often

frosty mango
#

100%. Do you think the (relatively) recent bug prevalence and maintenance issues are not well understood?

They commit their good dev resources to expansion design and then immediately after they shed as much labor as possible and interns/offshore keep the lights on

#

This is literally how all software houses work and I doubt blizz is any different

solid sun
#

Loads of people have loads of fun in wow everyday. They seem to be doing a fine job

round pendant
#

lol

cerulean tusk
#

That moment when you understand that we are a 1% of a 1% in here

#

And 99% just log on and waddle about, having fun, not playing for long enough to feel the flaws

round pendant
#

I get that, but it doesn't mean I can't be sad or disappointed about the direction the game goes sometimes

frosty mango
#

Blizzard 100% knows how to extract profit from a game and manage community engagement

round pendant
#

just going "yeah that's capitalism" doesn't make me feel better

frosty mango
#

I’d argue they are probably one of the best in the industry at doing it

round pendant
#

idk roid

cerulean tusk
#

Sadly the world isnt about what you feel

frosty mango
round pendant
#

Their early games blew up and were extremely successful BECAUSE they were good at making games

#

and then they simply became too big to catastrophically fail

frosty mango
#

I mean objectively speaking wow is a good game

#

It is still a good game

round pendant
#

I agree

cerulean tusk
#

Some would argue it is evil

frosty mango
#

If it were an objectively bad game there would be better games

#

But there aren’t

round pendant
#

diablo 4 isn't good, diablo 3 initially was ass, they killed starcraft and hearthstone and overwatch (is overwatch recovering?)

#

I very rarely hear positive opinions about blizz anymore

#

Yet they're still raking it in

cerulean tusk
#

Cause 99% dont talk about it, of them they will only be loud if things really are in the shitter

round pendant
cerulean tusk
#

we, the 1% of the 1%, are always loud

round pendant
#

I mean blizz pivoted fuckin hard after bfa and shadowlands right?

cerulean tusk
#

99% are quiet = things are fine

round pendant
#

now they're like WE'RE LISTENING GUYS

frosty mango
#

And every major usurper had failed, because they misunderstood why wow is successful. They made a game for the vocal minority (hi wildstar) and blizz makes the game for the people who pay

solid sun
#

Not everyone would agree with you that d4 is bad

round pendant
#

but I have no faith

solid sun
#

D3 became great

#

Lots of people still play hearthstone

cerulean tusk
#

I play Battlegrounds time to time gladge

round pendant
#

I'm just saying blizzard are notorious for squandering things

#

Everyone's seen and felt it

frosty mango
#

Hearthstone is a great example of blizzards profit extracting machine

round pendant
#

It's just they're too huge to really get impacted by even losing 80% of their playerbase

#

not that I think anything as severe as that has happened

cerulean tusk
#

80% would gut them

#

80% is sell everything, stat!

round pendant
#

There's a reason they stopped disclosing sub counts

frosty mango
#

Reused ip ✅
Extremely cheap to build and maintain ✅
Huge revenue relevant to expenditure ✅

cerulean tusk
#

Cause if you disclose subs, you cant control a negative narrative

frosty mango
#

Hearthstone is a master class in how to extract profit from essentially nothing lol

cerulean tusk
#

that would ball on

#

as they always do

frosty mango
round pendant
#

yeah I get that

#

just saying that there's a point where companies become large enough to tank their most dedicated users' dissatisfaction

urban portal
#

im suprised theyll do that

#

since wow isnt exactly getting new players

#

this game is kinda hostile for them

round pendant
#

as in the people who care about the design of the game in this case

cerulean tusk
#

We keep saying WoW doesnt get any new players, but guild seems to find new 15-16 year olds who want to get into raiding.

Who knows.

frosty mango
#

Yall seem to think blizzard cares at all about what anyone thinks

#

They don’t

#

If the game is generating continuing profit they care exactly zero about what anyone says

round pendant
cerulean tusk
#

Bingo

round pendant
#

in this public forum

#

I mean I'm just yapping cause I'm bored but it's kinda wack to just hear "they don't care lol"

frosty mango
#

No it’s healthy to voice our opinions as long as we know blizzard doesn’t care about them keks

round pendant
#

it may be true but that doesn't inspire hope in my future enjoyment of the game

frosty mango
#

Pissing into the wind, is the term, I believe

round pendant
#

which sucks because yeah there really is no game that scratches the m+ itch

cerulean tusk

Pissing into a hurricane, is more like it

frosty mango
torn gulch
#

i mean tanks and healers are not as affected by this anyway

#

so we're fine

cerulean tusk
#

To be fair, I know as a fact there are devs on the WoW team that honestly care and want to make the best game possible. So no need to doom all the way to the retirement home.

Just remember that blizz, the company, is there to earn money. A good game earns money.

If ya got complaints, take em to the forums. Make a fuzz. Gives the 'good guy' dev more ammunition.

round pendant
#

This is really an impossible argument to have with a broader forum like reddit or the forums though

#

Because a majority of the playerbase is going to get big damage buffs by these features

#

they'll defend it til their dying breaths

cerulean tusk
#

Cause that is what they want

lime urchin
#

whoa I am getting damage buffs?!

#

\o/

mighty valley
#

doesn't really sound like the game was currently encouraging them to improve, huh

round pendant
#

There's rewards at higher rios than ever

#

The one thing I think they could do is add 10 man mythic

urban sequoia
#

also yeah, evokers make decent prot warriors IMO. The double jump, the extra knockback, and 1.5% mastery (1% attack power)

round pendant
#

Adding the one button rotation might let some people do harder content because they didn't want to improve but now they can do it because they were effectively buffed

#

but at the cost of removing depth from the game for everybody else

mighty valley
#

i think generally people are either naturally pretty driven or else need a social environment that makes them want to do better to accomplish things with their friends

#

but most people on class discords want the entire game puggable, so

solid sun
#

On the pve side, I can’t think of any reward that requires me to be good at the game

frosty mango
#

We are all cogs in the big game dev money machine

round pendant
#

yeah I'm just saying that I'd go rant on the forums if I wanted to get bullied and called a gatekeeper

urban sequoia
# round pendant What exactly encourages people to improve?

i think people not having to focus so much on their rotation should free up some mental bandwidth for them to not die horribly to mechanics, and when they start getting good enough, maybe they'll want to add that 20% damage from manually using the rotation assist rather than just pressing the one button?

round pendant
#

instead I'll yap here

solid sun
#

I want to join Harrow’s raid group

frosty mango
#

Such is community

solid sun
#

Imagine the zingers when a professional writer sees you mess up a pull

round pendant
#

so now instead of the nice progression you make as a player

#

growth

#

from parsing grey to becoming a pink parser

#

you have to climb that mountain the moment you decide to go mountain

#

and lose all the damage you had before

urban sequoia
#

One Button is far under 70% of a sim for everything except like destro lock innit?

round pendant
#

That's going to absolutely brick peoples motivation to improve imo

round pendant
#

compared to sim, remember

#

remove 5-10% to make it comparable to current players playing manually

solid sun
#

Bro is it sleepy time in your part of the world yet

round pendant
#

no it's 5pm

solid sun
#

How many times are we gonna rehash the same topic

mighty valley
#

for me to care about these numbers, i need to see an actual low-skill player do similar content twice, once with this feature on and once without it

round pendant
mighty valley
#

there are still many things they will be bad at that the game will not automate

urban sequoia
#

IDK, 70% to 100% is a 42% increase in DPS

#

Using the rotation assist should generally beat the one button unless the person is taking 20% longer to click the button?

round pendant
#

You said players will use it to get comfy then switch to manual

round pendant
#

I'm just saying that suddenly they have a huge mountain to climb rather than the smooth progression of learning that's in the game now

#

Like if you just start a class, you expect to be bad and perform bad

#

now your minimum expectation is 70%

urban sequoia
#

So it seems to me like a reasonable stream of progression from people using the single button, then using the rotation assist as a DDR thing, because... More DPS. And then from there if they want more DPS, they might start optimizing it?

solid sun
#

I have no expectation for anyone to use the one button tool and would not ask, recommend, or require anyone to use it.

Can we please return to being a good discord channel again

pallid quiver
#

Anything that involves me pressing right click and turning

#

is like, impossible

#

Full Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww or bust

mighty valley
#

damn. they should make a one-button addon for walking

pallid quiver
#

ye

#

I need that

warm plinth
#

Something fucking dreadful has happened though

#

My outlook at work cleared every last fucking one of my rules

pallid quiver
#

also, i'm not super big on the tazavesh aesthetics personally, which really makes or breaks content for me

mighty valley
#

that's why it's genius, the back half is just old expansion aesthetics

pallid quiver
#

also i haven't heard about that eco-dome yet; it looks pretty neat. I'm curious about it

warm plinth
#

Im honestly about to cry. I cleared them yesterday because my whole outlook was fucked. Spent an hour this morning redoing all of them. Then I get an email that I could swear I made a rule for in my inbox

#

And I go to double check and they're all gone again

round pendant
pallid quiver
#

oh we have a funny new cloak that's mandatory for the raid again

#

don't you try to bait me, blizz, i know you just want me to play bfa

#

bfa timewalking, bfa cloak mechs...

solid sun
#

Did they say anything similar to the island ring about the belt

#

Like its intended to be taken off in heroic or something along those lines

round pendant
#

yeah is the belt supposed to be good next season?

#

cause I cba getting it

urban sequoia
#

no

frosty mango

Blizzard: “artifacts were borrowed power and felt bad, we are removing borrowed power”

Also blizzard: “here’s an entire set of content related to borrowed power. Also here’s a new tier with a new artifact cape”

frosty mango
#

Run the delve on t1 it doesn’t matter

solid sun
#

Counterpoint: I’m playing dune rn and don’t wanna

warm plinth
#

It's going to get outpaced by gear fairly quickly. I'd imagine

round pendant
#

if it's not good next season I'll rather save 10 mins of my life

mighty valley
#

gamers will run the same dungeon 600 times hoping for a trinket but groan at the prospect of 10 mins to get a guaranteed upgrade

warm plinth
#

It's only like 1% better than a 684 right now. So figure maybe 2.5% at 701

mighty valley
#

not criticizing, just. yknow. interesting

urban sequoia
#

i mean itll be worse than any champion track gear next season

round pendant
#

BUT

#

dungeons are fun and engaging

#

delves ain't even if they're quick

#

(imo)

solid sun
#

Tbf Harrow, I wouldn’t mind getting it if I were still playing everyday but now I’ve moved on

mighty valley
#

somewhere around the 357th dungeon run it stops being engaging to me personally

warm plinth
#

Thats very specific

round pendant
#

I got the ring on like 5 characters

#

I'm not opposed to doing slop content for an upgrade

mighty valley
#

hey, I said somewhere around, there's a margin of error

#

oh god the ring was so much more annoying to get haha

frosty mango
#

The ring was an outlier I think because of the mastery scaling thing

round pendant
#

357th? that's more than enough! I've only done each dungeon about 20-30 times this season which is way more than usual tbf

frosty mango
round pendant
#

the only dungeon I'm sick of is top

#

lmao

#

I actually really like floodgate and priory

#

I could play those a dozen more times each

solid sun
#

Hey is this a legit artifact cloak

frosty mango
#

I run my obligatory 1 per week now and do like 3 push keys on war

solid sun
#

Are we getting AP again

frosty mango
solid sun
#

I can’t open the links yet

frosty mango
warm plinth
#

Ring seemed fine to me. Took me like an hour tops and I'd never stepped foot on the isle before

round pendant
#

what cloak are you guys talking about

#

did I miss a link?

#

found it ty

#

Yeah this season + this has convinced me they REALLY want people to stay subbed

#

dripfeed content and now some AP

#

oh god I'm dooming again

#

can someone teach me how to be an optimist

warm plinth
#

Just dont play when you're not having fun. Thats what I do

round pendant
#

I guess that's a point

#

I still enjoy the game when I do play it so I shouldn't let all their poor decisions get to me before they're even implemented

#

I'm learnding

pallid quiver
#

see, my tin foil hat theory is that we're gonna need this cloak for the rest of the felcycle secret

#

so i need to get it

frosty mango
#

I’d say we have cake but we can’t afford it

solid sun
#

I don’t necessarily mind AP

round pendant
#

so sometimes I get a lil venty

frosty mango
#

Welcome

solid sun
#

Everyone vents sometimes

round pendant
#

I do be getting old critcake

solid sun
#

My advice that you aren’t asking for is that we don’t need to vent about the same thing like 6 times

coarse meadow
#

guys Shouldnt I use different gem colors for the Diamond passive? or is just better to stack the deadly emerald?

round pendant
#

though it might be a bit of a pain to sim all gem combinations since you prob don't have raidbots premium

solid sun
#

I enjoy the Taz aesthetic

#

And purple is a rad color

#

Could be a good season

#

I’m not really excited for a repeat of Arakara and priory

mighty valley
#

there were always gonna be reruns, i don't think any of the tww dungeons are the true worst

#

and i'm stoked to go back to HoA with spell block and disrupting shout this time

#

i started out the season hating priory but warmed up to it over time

solid sun
#

HoA and Taz and hopefully the new dungeon will be doing some heavy lifting this season imo

#

I’d rather do dawnbreaker over priory or spider land

mighty valley
#

arakara's... fine, my only gripe is that the last boss is harder than the other 95% of dungeon

solid sun
#

Ya the last boss has farmed my groups more than any other boss in a dungeon that I can remember

#

And no matter how fast I maneuver us through the rest of the dungeon she could single handedly brick the key for us

dusky canopy
#

My only gripe is the buggy ass dawnbreaker returning

#

Falling through the boat is fantastic

solid sun
#

Hey @undone beacon how does bear like the season 3 reveal

urban sequoia
#

i feel like i do so much more damage if i run show of force, but it feels like disrupting shout is a must in pugs because people barely interrupt u.u

coarse meadow
#

because I am

round pendant
#

lmao

urban sequoia
#

I just run the speed blasphemite B)

#

and quick/whatever to have all the combos.

frosty wave
#

Is the belt a nerf to prot warrior ? Without nitro boost

frosty mango
#

No

lofty glen
urban sequoia
# lofty glen Oo

... it has a prot warrior there, whys it talking aboaut mortal strikes? 😟

#

I am hoping thats just for arms and they're not giving prot mortal strike

lofty glen
#

yes but that is what is leaked till now. just to have a view

frosty mango
#

maybe prot is gettin mortal strike

#

big fist energy

karmic plinth
#

itll most likely be on shield slam for prot

urban sequoia
#

low key wonder if that set effect would be enough to make bloodborn actually worth taking as a talent

karmic plinth
#

could be depending on points we can spend

slender bison
karmic plinth
#

thane might have something crazy too tbh

#

they can use these tier sets to help balance the hero talents

slender bison
#

We have 2p/4p per talent spec now?
