I already got RL screaming curses at me for trying to avoid the parry, the 30% diff would make all the phy DPS go ham

lusty grotto
#

positional requirements = bad

plush tendon
#

can I be a bear in a dino costume?

lusty grotto
#

ALL OF THEM

undone beacon
lusty grotto
#

including the whole parry bullshit

cerulean tusk
#

I disagree, I think it adds to the gameplay

plush tendon
#

^ I agree with funky

#

bad players let people get behind them

lusty grotto
#

except for what you just said

plush tendon
#

I aint about that life

urban bane
#

just play trickster sub rogue and you dont get parried :]

lusty grotto
#

"everyone stack in front of boss", historically making melee get parried on most if not all bosses

#

that's a positional requirement

#

and what about casters?

cerulean tusk
#

Yep, but you trying to make this one agreement = wanting SB to not be directional

#

so nah

#

Paladins and DK got their little area zones

urban bane
#

my fried take is that making a boss unable to parry should be a raid buff

cerulean tusk
#

warrior got facing

#

bears are simpler, and that is fine

#

go play bear

lusty grotto
#

well guarok had a better take

#

make all of them have a positional requirement

smoky pollen
#

I like bear! Can I go play bear mr. "in charge of who gets to play what"?

lusty grotto
#

the idea is that it has some sort of consistency from class to class

#

so all or nothing

cerulean tusk
#

Everyone wants to face their enemy tho

#

I dont even

lusty grotto
#

for fucks sake

#

back at this again

cerulean tusk
#

Cause your argument falls flat at that point

solid sun
#

Genuine question because I’ve been one tricking prot this expansion. Was every tank owned by suleyman’s shield slam? Or just pwar and Ppal

lusty grotto
#

no it hasnt

#

youre running in circles

cerulean tusk
#

"I want everyone having to do this"
"They do"
"I want everyone having to do this"

#

If you dont leave start, you cant move on

lusty grotto
#

youve mentioned all tanks having to face due to not sb/sotr/if/demon spikes like 12 times this past 30 mins

#

thats. not. the. point.

smoky pollen
#

I'm trying to figure out if this conversation has moved away from being constructive, or if it ever was

urban bane
frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

i was trying to move into the whole boss parry territory but

#

🤷‍♂️

cerulean tusk
#

Ya still stuck at the starting point, as it cant leave the ground, it is shackled down by reality

smoky pollen
urban bane
#

<3

frosty mango
#

Ppal and war could cooldown the shield slam but bdk basically has to clench their butt and hope they don’t get oneshot

solid sun
frosty mango
#

Which is basically bdk high level play in general

smoky pollen
solid sun
#

Interesting

cerulean tusk
#

Purg is for when melee swings decide to sync and not get parried >:(

frosty mango
# solid sun Why was it so rough on bdk

Because your mitigation is all self healing, so at a certain point of scaling a single hit can outright kill you, you have purgatory and after that if you don’t parry gl

frosty mango
#

It’s why bdk has been out of bleeding edge play for a few seasons because eventually mob damage outscales their ability to heal it

smoky pollen
#

Or when my big toe is in the frontal and I swear to God I wasn't in it

urban bane
frosty mango
#

I’m oversimplifying it but that’s bdk

cerulean tusk
#

I just want old BDK gameplay back

#

I want that global to global high stress dopamine gameplay

solid sun
#

It seems like the shield tanks have it worse than non-shield tanks except for bdk when it comes to not being able to block attacks which is why I’m not sure the cat’s argument is particularly fair

cerulean tusk
#

the slowed down CD orrientated BDK is kinda meh

smoky pollen
#

Bring back seemingly infinite scaling blood shields with revenge (or whatever that shit was called in MoP) stacked to a billion

urban bane
#

I think I generally liked blood dk before marrowrend yea

frosty mango
#

Monk and Druid are prob the safest classes to key on

plush tendon
#

instead of runes

frosty mango
#

It’s fairly easy to stay alive

cerulean tusk
#

We talking low or high keys?

frosty mango
#

High

urban bane
#

oh thats right death strike was rune cost

cerulean tusk
#

hm, VDH gotta be up there

plush tendon
#

was a 2 rune cost

frosty mango
#

Monk next season will be huge

urban bane
#

and we spammed death coil or rune strike

frosty mango
plush tendon
#

yea

frosty mango
#

Monk is just stagger and purify

plush tendon
#

rune strike was our heroic strike

frosty mango
#

Bear is infinity ironfur

#

Really no thought needed

plush tendon
#

or youd spend runic power on CDs

#

but that changed

cerulean tusk
#

Warrior is just keep SB up gladge

urban bane
#

gladge nostalgia

frosty mango
cerulean tusk
#

Noone wants to be hit in the back

frosty mango
#

Which is surprisingly hard to do at high levels of play

smoky pollen
#

Something something ignore pain something

cerulean tusk
#

it is tricky, but that is half the fun

solid sun
#

Subjective

cerulean tusk
#

ofc it is subjective

#

it is my opinion

frosty mango
urban bane
#

Oh that's something that bugs me. Unsure when this started happening, but mobs who just... you're standing still tanking them. And the mob just keeps wiggling around your hitbox despite you not moving

cerulean tusk
#

Bear bearly cares

urban bane
#

they like shuffle to the left and right

frosty mango
urban bane
#

It is so annoying!

frosty mango
#

When they changed mobs to adjust so now they moonwalk all the time

smoky pollen
#

Yeah I am also not a fan, like they view other mobs as solid entities and wont stack on top of each other

flat tundra
#

shield best craft for someone who doesn't really raid? Going to be playing prot w/ team for the first time this season.

cerulean tusk
frosty mango
urban bane
#

Yeah I mean I see it happen even with like a single boss or lt. with a big hitbox

flat tundra
#

rgr ty

urban bane
#

they just shuffle around like a nervous child at a middle school dance

lusty grotto
#

that shit has happened since DF

smoky pollen
#

Probably want to stab you in the butt

lusty grotto
#

remember the dragons in RLP?

cerulean tusk
#

DF was devilish a while at the start, the Ruby adds

urban bane
#

DUDE YES

cerulean tusk
#

holey

lusty grotto
#

or even further back

urban bane
#

The dragons hahaha

#

They were awful

smoky pollen
#

Pls never mention RLP again

urban bane
#

They did it too!

lusty grotto
#

yeah its probably based on the models used

#

trust it drives me crazy too

solid sun
#

Ruby was a banger

smoky pollen
#

Trying to explain early RLP to my friends who started late dragonflight, I can't get ahead in the conversation

frosty mango
#

You see it with charge a lot, you charge, mobs end up behind you

lusty grotto
#

thats always been the case

frosty mango
#

First pull of cinder is also very bad

lusty grotto
#

whether it was increased or not, i would agree

#

but mobs tend to surround you due to collision on big enough pulls

cerulean tusk
#

Just keep stuttering, and ya wont notice gladge you also line em up for demolish

frosty mango
solid sun
#

It’s just another ploy to unfairly hurt pwars

#

Who don’t wanna get hit in the back

frosty mango
#

You used to be able to tab and have your tab prioritize mobs that were casting but that seems to be broken now too

cerulean tusk
#

Clearly.

frosty mango
#

For like two seasons

urban bane
#

The wiggling just looks weird and is distracting is my complaint

smoky pollen
#

The MAN (blizzard) wants to keep us down and not let me thunder clap in the very center of a pack

lusty grotto
#

a single mob shouldnt wiggle as much as those dumb dragons did

cerulean tusk
#

Or the stupid rock mobs, who decided to run through you

frosty mango
#

I wish they would implement some logic where your first tab targeted the mob closest to the center of your camera view because whatever they did to the tab logic is atrocious

lusty grotto
#

idk if we can report that as a bug but its just not something that seems correct (on the single mob wiggling like crazy)

cerulean tusk
#

Mobs dont want to stand ontop of eachother, that is 100% a feature. The weird happenings around that logic tho... I presume is "intended"

lusty grotto
#

right

#

thats totally fine

solid sun
#

If shield wall provided 360 block like the animation suggests we could just send our handy dandy defensive and let the mobs do a whole ass line dance around us gleefully

smoky pollen
#

While i spam thunder clap every other gcd

cerulean tusk
#

Would make more sense it was bolster that did that

#

also give LS some additional value

solid sun
#

Make LS 60 second cd and two charges and I’m down

#

I need a lot of line dancing mobs

smoky pollen
#

They should simply remove LS because i hate it

lusty grotto
#

or add something of value to it, without the need to talent

cerulean tusk
#

Last Stand should've been our cheat death gladge

smoky pollen
#

The cat is the antithesis of me, the cat and I are one in the same but on different sides of the coin

#

Which means the cat is likely good at the game, as I am not.

frosty mango
lusty grotto
#

yup

lusty grotto
frosty mango
#

Last Stand
On activation or when you drop below 10% health, gain last stand for 8 seconds. While last stand is active you cannot die, and your damage and healing are increased by 20%.

#

Stick it where bsv is, ez pz

lusty grotto
#

💯

frosty mango
#

Use it for offense, use it for defense

#

Agency

#

Well designed imo and I did it in 30 seconds

#

Hire me blizz

frosty mango
plush tendon
#

Id prefer activation on death

frosty mango
#

Probably not possible for coding and server tick reasons

plush tendon
#

If you wouldve died, instead return to 30% hp with 80%dr for 4 seconds. 8 min CD

frosty mango
#

That’s just bsv

plush tendon
#

BSV procs at 30% no?

frosty mango
#

Yeah but that’s just tuning bag

#

My point was we need dual purpose to give meaningful choice

plush tendon
#

I think the theme of BSV is fine

#

but it should proc if you wouldve died

frosty mango
#

You can choose to use it for damage, at the risk of not having it for healing/surviving

plush tendon
#

if you want offensive choice, take a different talent

#

and forgo the cheat entirely

frosty mango
#

Nah degen would be giving a tank two aoe silences and two aoe mass grips, two leaps, having them be functionally unkillable and still do decent dps

#

That would be degen

plush tendon
#

thats not degen

#

thats just overloaded AF

#

not sure how that actually got into the game without someone going 'I think thats too much'

frosty mango
#

Exactly

lusty grotto
#

regardless, cheat should be last stand cause it fits the name

frosty mango
#

So give us degen last stand thanks

lusty grotto
#

the name for BSV fits some random stat increasing talent instead

#

BSV? well yes thats what we all are

#

and LS in its current form is just bloat

#

change the BSV name to LS, and put Banner in the LS spot, problem solved

frosty mango
#

Banner of chains
Banner of misery
Banner of blood
Banner of skulls

#

Give us all the banners

blazing shuttle
plush tendon
#

please no more keybinds

lusty grotto
#

Augusto youre wooshing

#

read what they are replying to

#

coughvdhcough

plush tendon
#

I thinking about 4 extra keybinds

#

and I panic

lusty grotto
solid sun
#

Get foot pedals

lusty grotto
#

kinda bummed i have to play fury slayer in raid next season

#

hope arms catches some buffs

plush tendon
lusty grotto
#

im never not making warrior my main

#

unless the class is completely toast

#

but i will certainly try fdk

#

as an alt

plush tendon
#

Converting my DK to Frost

#

idc about all the nerfs they be catching

#

no DnD for Obli cleave?

#

sign me the fuck up

solid sun
#

Do not disturb

#

My obliques hurt

plush tendon
#

I also really like it in PVP

solid sun
#

Is the expectation with the belt that at some point this season it’ll be out-simmed

#

I didn’t read anything about it and just got it

plush tendon
#

it should be

#

much like the Circlet

#

i imagine once you get a hero track belt upgraded

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats the expectation rhino

solid sun
#

Okie dokes

#

And what about the boots that work with the cloak

#

I just discovered that was a thing

#

Obvi nome will tell us what we’re shooting for and I don’t myth raid so I assume I’ll just rock highest ilvl boots

lusty grotto
#

we will see

nocturne spindle
#

boots are purely more shield for tank

#

so

#

do with that info what you will

plush tendon
#

I think its just highest I level boots

solid sun
#

Heck yeah I’m holding a shield

#

I don’t need extra shield

#

Unless the extra shield lets me block 360 degrees

lofty warren
#

Will those lame ass boots be bis and only acquirable in raid?

nocturne spindle
#

yes

lusty grotto
#

not sure about the bis part, at least for dps classes they will be

#

but they are indeed only acquirable in raid

high latch
#

I think it's likely that we'll get dinars this season too and I would assume those special items could also be purchased that way, but that won't be any time soon

lusty grotto
#

its safe to assume so

jagged gust
#

I mean free DR is free DR

lusty grotto
#

and yes that's also a good point

small steeple
#

Hi Nim! Long time no see

#

how you doin

lusty grotto
#

👋

#

ive been around

#

busy with other games for the most part

#

but good for the most part

jagged gust
#

Nim got a whiff of the ptr notes and sensed his return was necessary

#

mentally preparing for another wave of week 1 rerollers

lusty grotto
#

ive at least dropped a comment every 2 days lol

#

dune had me busy

solid sun
#

Man dune had so much promise

lusty grotto
#

but i got CE so im good

solid sun
#

My buddies got this huge yellow stripe down their spines

lusty grotto
#

dune still has promise

#

the problem is devs dropped it during vacation time in the netherlands

#

a lot of changes i dont agree with cause i enjoy pvp

#

but they're mostly fine, hackers are the real problem

jagged gust
#

I'm still looking for a Warhammer online vibe for a PvP MMO

lusty grotto
#

yeah warhammer was fun

#

daoc would be better

jagged gust
#

Was a little too young to play that one unfortunately, I remember kripp talking about it fondly

nocturne spindle
#

i mean no way they arent bis

#

its just free shield side effect basically

#

whether that shield even matters is up in the air

#

but it will be the best

lusty grotto
#

on that point i agree

jagged gust
#

It looked incredibly negligible from what I remember

#

But sometimes you make a mistake and live with 1% hp

nocturne spindle
#

they did buff the shield like 200% a ptr cycle ago

jagged gust
#

Little diffs

#

Oh I hadn't seen that

solid sun
#

Yeah but is it a myth only it’s the best situation

lusty grotto
#

right

nocturne spindle
#

its somewhat beefy now

lusty grotto
#

i guess what rhino is getting at is

high latch
#

It was nerfed a bit after that, but it's still at least noticable

lusty grotto
#

hero track Eth boots vs myth track any boot

jagged gust
#

Wait isn't that the cloak? I thought the boots were like +dr for the raid specific damage type

nocturne spindle
#

no the boots make the cloak proc like

#

50% more

#

or something like that

high latch
#

Yep. William is thinking of the ring probably.

jagged gust
#

I'm sure I have an item db saved somewhere to figure this out for myself lol

nocturne spindle
#

thats weird

#

on wowhead database theyre just normal boots now

high latch
#

The boots increase the cloak effect's frequency by 50%, and there's a ring that gives a shield and reduces cosmic damage taken.

nocturne spindle
jagged gust
#

yeah looking at that now

nocturne spindle
#

its gone on wowhead though

#

but its still a thing

autumn roost
#

no one has specifically said that but there is a minor theory this might be true because bags from timewalking weekly stuff cant have tier. most people believe tier will be available though

plush tendon
#

It also doenst help that the stats on those boots are perfect

#

The real strat; sell keys, make gold, buy a carry and loot off the boss that drops the boots

lusty grotto
#

going back to that

#

hero track interloper's vs myth track any other boots

#

id be willing to say myth track any boots might only be better if the additional STR/armor/stats outperforms in terms of mit

#

does the 20% even change between tracks?

rough egret
#

I mean for the defensive part having both cloak and BSV on 3mins its kinda bad

#

So with lower version you can desync them atlest 😄

lusty grotto
#

its not a constant thing anyway

rough egret
#

Yeah hypotetically if you play around it

#

But thats danger

lusty grotto
#

myth track any boot is constant mit always up

#

is my point

#

vs hero track interloper's

jagged gust
#

I'm probably only running like 16-18s max next season, no need to run BSV in my case

lusty grotto
#

but yeah i see the BSV point

prime sphinx
#

just kill the boss mby this raid as easy as liberation. easiest tier since en

rough egret
#

Can we go straight to this optional boss?

#

30 tanks can kill it surely

jagged gust
#

running full tank groups is always a good idea

#

it's literally playing the game on easy mode

toxic pewter
#

You guys think the new dh void spec could be a tank? Could be first class with two tank specs

vocal flame
#

Been gone for a bit and I checked the pins, how we looking next patch? See a lot of changes

lusty grotto
jagged gust
lusty grotto
#

as far as the rest, nome and mwahi will update the guides either this weekend or next week

toxic pewter
#

Calling it now: new dh void spec will be a TANK. I am first one saying this anywhere on the internet or in the community. Take it to the bank, you heard it here first.

plush tendon
#

but we will get a void DH questline

toxic pewter
#

It’s happening

vocal flame
#

awesome thanks Nim and WIlliam! I gotta read through the changes but they seem pretty neat overall.

plush tendon
#

like Greenfire for locks

toxic pewter
#

There will be a third spec call entropy

jagged gust
#

hmm, the ranger alleria, the void ranger, in the void expansion, with a new void spec being added for DHs

plush tendon
jagged gust
#

i wonder what the new spec will be

plush tendon
#

first 2-4 mythic bosses should be puggable

#

at some point

high latch
#

I'd love a new tank spec added to the game, but I'd rather that be Earth Warden Shaman or something.

jagged gust
#

I wonder if Alleria is actually a red herring and Illidan randomly comes back from playing chess with big sword guy

plush tendon
#

actually.... a light armored 2h dps spec would be cool

lusty grotto
#

her character is fine

plush tendon
#

I dont know if DH is the best class for it though

lusty grotto
#

no reason for them to make her a red herring

prime sphinx
#

survival hunter is the tank

plush tendon
#

Survival hunter was a mistake

lusty grotto
#

heavy disagree

jagged gust
plush tendon
#

give me old surv any day

lusty grotto
#

old surv was fun, but new surv is good

jagged gust
#

stack agility to do 60% of the damage another person does so you can apply a raid debuff?

lusty grotto
#

nostalgia does nothing for us

toxic pewter
#

Other than dk when it came out.. would be cool to have a class with two tank specs like priests have two healing specs

plush tendon
#

BM shouldve been the melee hunter spec

#

and it shouldve been duel wield

#

like Rexxar

lusty grotto
#

and called beast master, ok i can agree with that

#

wait a minute...

frosty mango
jagged gust
#

I mean it kinda feels like it right?

toxic pewter
#

Yah

#

Illidan is coming back to defeat dimensius

#

And give us new dh spec

lusty grotto
#

im ok with the sentiment but tank balance would be way worse

plush tendon
toxic pewter
#

I said all this over a month ago

#

And was laughed at

plush tendon
#

Illidan, Arthas, Deathwing, Sylvannas, Garrosh

frosty mango
#

If we don’t get shaman tank

#

I’ll riot

#

I will drive my car into blizzard head quarters

jagged gust
#

Theyd be stepping on our mountain thane turf

toxic pewter
#

It’s not happening

frosty mango
#

And give them a strongly worded letter

#

Why would a sham tank be lightning based instead of earth based

plush tendon
#

bro, what a squad that would be

blazing shuttle
#

Tank Sham should have been a things for year.

jagged gust
#

same with lock tanking

toxic pewter
#

This also why they didn’t nerf vengeance dh at all. They want people to try the new dh spec

blazing shuttle
#

Wind = Enhancement
Earth = Tank - Warder
Fire = Elemental
Water = Restoration

blazing shuttle
#

it USED to be a thing

jagged gust
#

Yeah but I never played when they had meta so I missed the fun

lusty grotto
#

apb sucking off illidan's toes while we are 3 hero classes combined, smh Broxigar, Blademasters and Mountain kings are shaking in their graves

toxic pewter
#

Lmao

plush tendon
#

We kind of got mountain king no?

#

isnt that Thane?

toxic pewter
#

I personally wanted vdh to get nerfed hard

blazing shuttle
#

We just said it

lusty grotto
#

yes augusto

blazing shuttle
#

yeap

toxic pewter
#

I even made the topic on the forums

blazing shuttle
#

Slayer is Blademaster

plush tendon
#

oh

#

me confused

blazing shuttle
#

And Colossus is like the good ol' Broxigar kind of deal

jagged gust

Didn’t priest have some sort of windwalk in mop or something

the only hero class in WoW is mage

#

Warden I guess?

plush tendon
#

lets be real

lusty grotto

yeah idk about warden

blazing shuttle

I guess

Warden is a bit like a rogue

Combat rogue is like a big steaming pile of garbage. Because it is a big steaming pile of garbage.

lusty grotto

ok but, nobody is arguing about that

Make survival hunter a tank. Thank you for your attention to this matter

that point in LS looking pretty useless

unless you need it specifically for a mechanic

plush tendon
#

yea, it was a free point

solid sun
#

How many of the fights are pure single target this time

plush tendon
#

was thinking about the execute cleave as the flex

#

or maybe put it in alacrity for 2% haste

mellow bridge

standard would be 2% haste probs

#

and then flex it into LS if needed or exe cleave if the fight is good for it

hi guys, what's the 11.2 raid build? colossus or mountain thane?

warm plinth
#

Nim, come on man, you can't interrupt the guy when he's at your mom's

dusky canopy
#

Chillin waiting for patch day

lusty grotto
#

MT, and wait until the guides update

lusty grotto
dusky canopy
#

Oh yeah it’s fury tier

lusty grotto
#

fucking christ

dusky canopy
#

Better in keys and raid

#

Arms is competitive to fury in AoE but it does less ST at the same time

lusty grotto
#

surely arms will get buffed clueless

dusky canopy
#

Womp womp

warm plinth
#

Does fury have to use Odyn's though

lusty grotto
dusky canopy
#

No the build right now doesn’t use it afaik

warm plinth
dusky canopy
#

Things could have changed I’ve been a little absent

dusky canopy
#

Let’s gooo

lusty grotto
#

yeah but

#

no oab kill 🙁

dusky canopy
#

Shit boss anyway

lusty grotto
#

feelsbadman

#

yeah but my best-in-slots

dusky canopy
#

Bro you’re blessed and you don’t even know it

lusty grotto
#

and trinky

#

i had to buy a fucking kezan and ring last night

dusky canopy
#

Slots + trinket desyncing shit is annoying

#

Can’t wait to not have that issue next tier

lusty grotto
#

yeah i guess

dusky canopy
#

Blizz doesn’t like one button burst macros

#

So they make weapon on use share cd with trinket on use

#

Thanks guys

#

Now I gotta macro them anyway and just deal with desyncing bs

lusty grotto
#

lmao

dusky canopy
#

Fucking pound sand I tell ya!

#

Making my game inconvenient!

lusty grotto
dusky canopy
lusty grotto
#

im gonna miss arms

#

jugg management not so much but still

dusky canopy
#

Me too I really prefer arms I’m better at it than fury too

#

But it’ll be nice not to rip a log because you dropped 15 jug stacks at 35.1% hp

jagged gust
#

I'd like Arms a lot more if it wasn't for rend

lusty grotto
#

🙁

#

i mean admittedly that part did feel fucking awful

dusky canopy
#

The gameplay loop itself is fantastic for me personally

lusty grotto
#

and/or trying to game up stacks on adds only for rng to fuck you like i said last night

dusky canopy
#

Yep the game be like “ahh I see you sweeping execute that little rocket boy to get more jug stacks so now I won’t proc an sd for you for atleast 16 seconds”

lusty grotto
#

it happens

#

EVERY TIME

jagged gust
#

and then it procs with .2 second left the moment you finally sent a GCD

lusty grotto

yup

Work was chill here except in the last 10 minutes I set the wrong Z depth on my tool path and smacked the side of a vice and blew up the endmill

Lmao

Ope, just have to chalk that one up to being a Friday

I’m already thinking about my rum and dpep

i just dont know why but i prefer it over reg coke or zero

How's our magic damage taken in keys next season? I'm curious since we'll lose the ability to block magic damage

It is a way to make ppl go "I know what would fill your mothfeel" hohohoho

Cant say magic dam was super scary

On this maximum stream “99% of time prot warr is the best tank”

I swear this community wants us dead every patch

Prot in crazy style

#

We gonna get shot in head

toxic pewter
#

Big anti warr propaganda continues on

#

Meanwhile vdh zero nerfs LOL

#

Just disgraceful to witness in real time

jagged gust
#

you mean vdh buffs

toxic pewter
#

Yeah just wild

#

I don’t buy bdk is d tier that’s a lot of fake news too

#

Everyone dooming on bdk I don’t buy that at all sure they got some weird changes but they will be fine

jagged gust
#

I mean I hate bdks in the wild

#

So anything that disincentivizes them from playing in my pugs is a good thing

cerulean tusk
#

BDK for raid? A or S tier, BDK for M+? Probably like C tier, it functions, but isnt anything special.

azure crag
#

especially this patch. Blood dk doesn't feel so good right now

frosty mango
#

What trinkets is everyone settling on for keys on ptr?

#

Araz's Ritual Forge and Brand are the two that feel like the right pick for me so far but there's so many

warm plinth

#

question, im having rage generating issues in mythic plus, i feel like i spend my rage so fast that i can never regen it unless ravager is up

#

ravager is up i have to much rage but like if its not i just barely have rage to keep shield block active

warm plinth
#

Logs would help

#

Very likely, you're casting Ignore Pain too much and/or not pressing everything else enough.

Then you're not playing properly

I don't track IP at all

cerulean tusk
#

it is a noobtrap, it feels smart, but it aint

manic idol
#

how do i get a log?

#

i have a specific one in mind

warm plinth
manic idol
#

its just weird to me cause sometimes i will do a dungeon ahve zero issues and other times get shit on even in same difficulty

#

like i did a 9 cinderbrew had no issues did a 8 cinderbrew died 2 times first room

#

one thing i noticed and idk if there is a way to prevent this but warrior gets absolutely melted by any sort of dot dmg from mobs

#

like the mugs from the big bois in cinderbrew first room that dot i just get melted

solid sun
#

@warm plinth @cerulean tusk

cerulean tusk
#

What if they moved the bleed to its autos?

solid sun
#

This was in the notes long after the original change to move it to the autos

#

And some monk came in here and said they tested it and the bleed was gone and dogs didn’t do anything

#

@frosty mango was here too

frosty mango
#

they are indeed gone

#

they also seemingly lowered some of the damage on some of the abilities, we did it last night on a 16 and it was not nearly as bad

#

the rogue in my group was also doing like 11m overall so it could have just been him murdering everything quickly

warm plinth
cerulean tusk
#

Ya better not be bamboozling me, if I die from DoTs day 1, I will come in here and rage at ya all

#

🤔 What do you mean Curse of Stone no longer applies to the whole group

#

What does the boss do then?

#

Leaps?

warm plinth
#

right?

#

Weird ass change

solid sun
#

y'all seem upset

#

I thought we were having a glorious time

patent scroll
#

Yeah no everything else on that list sounds amazing

#

I just don't know what that change is meant to be

lofty warren
#

Rfw guy confirmed pwar best

toxic pewter
#

for raid its just cuz arms and fury are down bad

bleak breach
#

Best tank for raid currently according to the guys in the stream

toxic pewter
#

for m+ tho big anti warr propaganda going on again

bleak breach
#

I was listening to the tank stuff

toxic pewter
#

they said like 3 words for vdh m+

bleak breach
#

Na APB

toxic pewter
#

i was losing it

#

XD

bleak breach
#

The only reason they didn’t put PWar in crazy tier was max doesn’t rate attack power buff for m+

toxic pewter
#

ya

#

i saw him move it down

bleak breach
#

So in theory best tank atm but see how it goes

toxic pewter
#

deranged takes going on

lofty warren
#

Pwar still at the top m+ too

#

In that tier

solid sun
#

It's so interesting how you both watched it and have such differing takes on it

toxic pewter
#

vdh is top tank and will be again

bleak breach
lofty warren
#

Vdh got GIGA nerfed read the last notes omg

toxic pewter
#

lol

bleak breach
toxic pewter
#

good ol pepega

#

dont fall for it

#

he pepega

lofty warren
#

Parry went down 8%

toxic pewter
#

LOL

#

omg

solid sun
#

I think y'all should cook us some pies and whoever prepared the best pie's take is the winning one

toxic pewter
#

hes being serious

lofty warren
#

This is worse than the nerfs that aug got in 11.1

bleak breach
#

Ffs Pepega

solid sun
#

No, I'm just hungry and idk who to believe since you both seem to have watched it.

lofty warren
#

Vdh bad if they take lots of damage believe me

bleak breach
#

There’s about 30 people there and they collectively said PWar in crazy tier for raid because damage is ridiculous and can’t die in short

#

M+ they all had crazy tier except max because of attack power buff

toxic pewter
#

its just the community anti prot warr bias.. literally been going strong since df beta (and obviously before then but df beta was a strong point withj the new talent trees)

bleak breach
#

But he kinda isn’t counting phys buff

lofty warren
#

Attclack power buff is wasted on most specs

#

Mage get nothing

bleak breach
#

That’s why you play phys team pepega

#

What I actually came here for, what are the m+ nerfs people have been talking about?

#

I saw news of heavy tank damage nerfs like all the tank busters/bleeds etc but can’t actually find notes for it?

warm plinth
lofty warren
#

No5 gonna lie I would be fine with abandoning my s2 vdh main for pwar again. Just please anything except for moon bear or bdk those suck ass

bleak breach
cerulean tusk
#

Dont worry, Pwarr will be nerfed after the rwf

warm plinth
#

No idea. He gave no link so idk where those even came from

cerulean tusk
#

it is just for the raid

warm plinth
#

I didn't see them

bleak breach
#

Ahh yep, no worries.
I’ve been looking but can’t find the info

lofty warren
#

Pwar got their self heal nerfed. They are warriors and shouldn't be healing

bleak breach
#

No they didn’t

#

It got buffed

lofty warren
#

Yes they did they were way higher in ptr and then got nerfed

bleak breach
#

Key word

#

Ptr

lofty warren
#

I said nerf not when they got it

bleak breach
#

There is absolutely no buff or nerf until anything makes it to live

#

So it’s a buff

#

110-150%

lofty warren
#

115% buff of 10 is gets you to like 21

solid sun
#

I think everyone knows what Pepega means when he says that pwar self-sustain got hit

#

I say that as someone who generally ignores the things they say

narrow prawn
#

I'm going to play this season as Prot for the first time in my life

solid sun

Especially when the playstyle shifted to Thane

narrow prawn
#

And my gear is so behind, it will be hard to do mythics for me

bleak breach
#

Catch up is pretty easy these days

#

Shouldn’t take long

solid sun
#

@mellow bridge Sorry to bother you, but weren't you the one who came to us with the news that the doggo bleed in HoA had been removed?

lusty grotto
#

hmm max putting prot up is kinda bad news

#

the nerf hammer will hit hard

#

but thankfully, arms is probably gonna get buffed

solid sun
#

Yeah, you wanna fly under the radar a bit

lusty grotto
#

who did he talk to

#

warrior side

#

let me watch this i guess

#

im guessing critcake maybe?

#

always based takes

toxic pewter
#

critcake but via notes he sent him cuz he had to sleep

lusty grotto
#

understandable

#

and prot? was it protcake too?

jagged gust
#

Crit is clearly sandbagging his opinions of DPS war

bleak breach
lusty grotto
#

feelsbadman

jagged gust
#

Guy is playing 3d chess

toxic pewter
#

he put arms in lowest tier

bleak breach
#

Can’t think of all the names off the top of my head

toxic pewter
#

says needs a complete rework

lusty grotto
#

thats cause arms is in the lowest tier

toxic pewter
#

ya

lusty grotto
#

hes 500% right

jagged gust
#

Arms actually down bad, but fury feels so good

lusty grotto
#

oh dorki

#

well dorki also has based takes

toxic pewter
#

dorki and dratnos did all the tanks

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats fine

bleak breach
#

That’s the other one

lusty grotto
#

they arent oblivious

bleak breach
#

Couldn’t think of the name off the top of my head

lusty grotto
#

theyve played prot extensively at times

#

and i cant really disagree with their takes

bleak breach
#

It’s a shame arms is doing so bad

#

Especially when fury isn’t doing like great

toxic pewter
#

dorki was pretty adament thinking prot warr was top tier

lusty grotto
#

dorki is the only streamer to actually do banner gameplay correctly

#

naowh does well but dorki just blew him away on his uptime, so thats enough credibiity for me

toxic pewter
#

do we even like our new spec tree

#

like is it considered better

#

by u guys

bleak breach
#

Yes

lusty grotto
#

its better

#

but still mid

bleak breach
#

It’s much better imo

toxic pewter
#

hmmm

#

yeah i dunno somethin feels off about it

lusty grotto
#

i dont know how to explain it more than that

bleak breach
#

Still a lot of dead talents though

#

What Nim said

toxic pewter
#

yah mid

bleak breach
#

Easiest way I’d put it apb

toxic pewter
#

that is how i feel about it too

lusty grotto
#

but also keep in mind, we've been put high in the last recent seasons

bleak breach
#

There’s a lot of really great talents that are hard to get because they’re blocked by nothing talents

lusty grotto
#

it means nothing, its just a tier list

toxic pewter
lusty grotto
#

start of seasons, i mean

bleak breach
#

Easiest example is that stupid 4% def stance buff being on the same talent level as shield wall

#

But then you need it to get to AM

lusty grotto
#

last stand

bleak breach
#

Then fight through flames nerf made 0 sense with removal of spell block

lusty grotto
#

agreed

#

but its also not a huge nerf

bleak breach
#

Na, like no one will take it but it was just odd

#

Also the almighty ‘buff’ too tough as nails and they hide it in a corner

#

That should be where the def stance talent is

toxic pewter
#

these small little defensive nodes just feel bad to waste a talent point on

bleak breach
#

Yep

#

Sadly you have to

toxic pewter
#

feelsbadman

buoyant sparrow
#

Do we know what stats we going for? Haste > Crit >>>>>> mastery, vers

plush tendon
#

Well it changes

#

Mastery sims highest for me right now and haste the lowest

#

By quite a bit

#

But in general, it’s haste>crit>vers>mastery

solid sun
#

I'm so bored rn

lusty grotto
#

thats probably not gonna change ever

#

and btw that's not it

#

the one you posted

#

augusto has the correct one

#

but yes, it depends on your stat allocation as always

anyone in here got a degen ptr talent build for max dam? nothing in pinned so i figured id ask

#

wait until patch hits or the weekend

#

not apply the absorb

#

or reduce it

lusty grotto

reduce it

its just whatever there tbh

Prot warrior is so weird. I've just been doing delves so far, and I'm completely invincible...
Until like, I accidentally pull two casters. And they just end me.

lusty grotto
#

thats not a prot warrior issue

azure crag
#

I'm certain I'm doing something wrong, but just....suddenly going from literally nothing can hurt me to my health is just rapidly dropping and I don't know what to do

lusty grotto
#

i dont know the situation

#

and you are very likely not logging delves

#

but there's no caster(s) that should kill you without being outplayed

#

in delves

#

without outplay-ability, i guess is what i mean

#

idk its late

#

words hard

azure crag
#

I eventually beat them by just pulling them one at a time, but I genuinely had no idea what to do when both of them were just spamming bolts into me.

waxen frigate
polar pelican
#

you should kick or stun them probably

#

and spam ignore pain

waxen frigate
#

living my best life for the next 8hrs

polar pelican
#

and use spell reflect on cd

azure crag
#

I did kicks and stuns and spell reflects on CD and spell block
They ate me alive through all of it. I could have maybe used my fear too, but the easiest thing was just not pulling them both at the same time

lusty grotto
#

if you can remember the specific name of the mob

#

it would help

#

cause there are some casters that you simply have to move out of what they cast

#

otherwise you take big damage

polar pelican
#

also if you're like ilvl 610 and doing a t11 delve its gonna be tough

lusty grotto
#

was it the little mushrooms? was it the anub guys?

azure crag
#

I don't remember their specific names, but they were the elf like spider mobs. They had a LOT of health

lusty grotto
#

never spam IP, its used when you have high rage only

#

yeah so

#

those guys

#

are the ones im talking about

#

they do a channel where they put a circle on the ground and it follows you

#

and if you stay put

#

you just die

#

at lower ilvl

azure crag
#

Yup, I was running for my life, too. But I was also panicking because jesus christ my health is just depleting

lusty grotto
#

the silktenders or whatever they are called

#

silk something

azure crag
#

so I probably could have played a lot better. But once they got me down to one life, I just waited for them to split up and fought them one at a time

lusty grotto
#

the circle isnt that fast

#

it was faster in s1

#

but it can get lost if you pull a lot of mobs on top

#

visually

#

it wasnt silk lol

#

so yeah the slow can screw you there

azure crag
#

Yeah, those guys. I could handle one of them, but two together just ripped me to pieces. I was probably getting hit by the orb and didn't notice amid the chaos

lusty grotto
#

you were 500% getting hit by it

#

its the only thing that kills you from them

#

and probably the biggest damage dealer in delves (if not dodged)

#

but again, just dodge it hehe

frosty mango
#

People: ask for advice
Nim: “have you considered playing better?”

maiden ravine
#

I love doing delves as prot myself. I consider my season highlight doing a deathless 11 at 580 ilvl. Throw on DPS Brann and vibe.

#

Might use warrior again to clear up to 11s on Tuesday

frosty mango
#

I personally hate delves but I do recognize that they bring content to the game a lot of people like so I can get behind them

maiden ravine
#

Oh I know it's not for everyone, I just like doing stuff solo.

lusty grotto
#

cmon now, i didnt mean it that way, im very obvious when i mean it

#

but sometimes i do it accidentally

#

roid making me gaslight myself

maiden ravine
#

I honestly hope Midnight does let you earn a currency that lets you upgrade a hero track item to myth track.

#

Even if it's just 1 or 2 a season

solid sun
#

Well tbf

#

Nim’s advice was a lot better than “spam IP”

#

Like the other guy said

#

Mouse did good

maiden ravine
#

those orbs do suck, generally want to stun the cast or focus them down

lusty grotto
#

also those orbs are one of the things that blizzard should have made more visually clear

#

they kinda tried this last season but its not enough

#

its still like white transparent kind of bs

jagged gust
#

So uh, after this past season of playing colo so much

#

I'm finding it really hard to remember to press TC lol

#

I normally prefer doing dungeons, but my guild's been on break for a couple of months and I figured delves would be good for practicing my rotation and abilities without bricking someone's key

fast oracle
#

Is thane good enough this season? I know it's not like ~optimal~ or anything but is it usable?

lusty grotto
#

this season? the season is almost over

#

but yes its usable

warm plinth
#

Yes it's usable

fast oracle
#

i mean like right now

warm plinth
#

It's a significant loss in aoe but it's perfectly viable

#

Depending on what talents you're playing as colossus, it may not be as big of a loss, but that's only because you're already taking a loss as Colossus

#

(e.g. if you drop battering ram for bsv)

frosty mango
#

its season start

#

cant learn if you dont play

let the haters hate

#

@runic moth are you active here and are you the same torkal who has been updating the spell reflect WA?

split kiln
#

If we enter Diminishing Returns for Haste, do we prioritize Vers after? Or keep going Haste? Is there a way to sim it properly?

livid lava
#

Sims take DR into account no reason to ever think about DR

split kiln
#

How do we sim Prot just DPS Sim on Simcraft?

#

I am not really sure on how simming as "tank" works

plush tendon
#

we just sim for dps

#

or, if you lazy, just prio haste>crit>vers>mastery

#

personally, I just throw on rings with haste

split kiln
#

I was running Haste/Vers ring

#

But says Crit/Vers

plush tendon
#

not unexpected

#

mastery sims highest for me right now

#

but I have like 22k haste

split kiln
#

Ok thank you wasn't sure if it was like VDH

#

Where we keep going Haste/Crit past DR

plush tendon
#

naw, its really just follow sim

#

haste is still our best defensive stat though

#

the diference is pretty miniscule all things considered

frosty mango
#

@shut summit arcing zap on Wastewander Farstalkers in eco dome is reflectable

spark veldt
#

boys any m+ ptr build?

lusty grotto
#

for us

#

since we lose s2 tier, so we gotta make up for SB cdr lost from the RNG procs of SC + Champs Bulwark

#

that means that more haste will be required to be effective

#

which applies also to the breakpoint to swap HR with ITF

#

so current haste rating is not compatible with next season

#

@plush tendon

#

it will only last until you break s2 tier

hazy ocean
#

Anyone know when the wowhead guide for S3 will come out?

frosty mango
nocturne spindle
#

nome wont publish anything until no more ptr changes confirmed

#

which basically means day 1

lusty grotto
#

it has happened on the weekend before

#

so dont be surprised

#

afaik there's a code lock, so changes are likely final at this point

#

outside of things they can easily tune

frosty mango
#

we're 100% getting nerfed
