positional requirements = bad
can I be a bear in a dino costume?
ALL OF THEM
Zandalari moment
including the whole parry bullshit
I disagree, I think it adds to the gameplay
except for what you just said
I aint about that life
just play trickster sub rogue and you dont get parried :]
"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?
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
my fried take is that making a boss unable to parry should be a raid buff
DK raid buff? Hello
I like bear! Can I go play bear mr. "in charge of who gets to play what"?
the idea is that it has some sort of consistency from class to class
so all or nothing
Cause your argument falls flat at that point
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
"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
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.
I'm trying to figure out if this conversation has moved away from being constructive, or if it ever was
scared me on blood dk
bro it is an argument in the prot warrior discord what do you think hahahaha
Monk and Druid were fine
Bdk omega scary
Pwar/ppal moderately scary
Ya still stuck at the starting point, as it cant leave the ground, it is shackled down by reality

I just want us all to come together and make the omega shield wall 🙁
<3
Ppal and war could cooldown the shield slam but bdk basically has to clench their butt and hope they don’t get oneshot
Why was it so rough on bdk
Which is basically bdk high level play in general
We talent purgatory for a reason, it's a defensive
Interesting
Purg is for when melee swings decide to sync and not get parried >:(
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
That also sometimes
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
Or when my big toe is in the frontal and I swear to God I wasn't in it
pwargaroo wants war... but peace between prot warriors
I’m oversimplifying it but that’s bdk
I just want old BDK gameplay back
I want that global to global high stress dopamine gameplay
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
the slowed down CD orrientated BDK is kinda meh
Bring back seemingly infinite scaling blood shields with revenge (or whatever that shit was called in MoP) stacked to a billion
I think I generally liked blood dk before marrowrend yea
Monk and Druid are prob the safest classes to key on
I think they added marrowrend when they made death strike cost runic power
instead of runes
It’s fairly easy to stay alive
We talking low or high keys?
High
oh thats right death strike was rune cost
hm, VDH gotta be up there
was a 2 rune cost
Monk next season will be huge
and we spammed death coil or rune strike
Yes but not as easy
yea
Monk is just stagger and purify
rune strike was our heroic strike
Warrior is just keep SB up 
nostalgia
Yes and not get hit in the back
Noone wants to be hit in the back
Which is surprisingly hard to do at high levels of play
Something something ignore pain something
it is tricky, but that is half the fun
Subjective
You know I know on bear technically it’s bad but I went to 16:17 with bear this season and it didn’t seem to matter lol
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
Bear bearly cares
they like shuffle to the left and right
That started happening in tww s2
It is so annoying!
When they changed mobs to adjust so now they moonwalk all the time
Yeah I am also not a fan, like they view other mobs as solid entities and wont stack on top of each other
shield best craft for someone who doesn't really raid? Going to be playing prot w/ team for the first time this season.
stutterstep, to keep em stacked - it has been a mechanic always. But, there are a lot of scuffed hitboxes on mobs atm, so they surround more easily.
Shield is always the best brother
Yeah I mean I see it happen even with like a single boss or lt. with a big hitbox
rgr ty
they just shuffle around like a nervous child at a middle school dance
that shit has happened since DF
Probably want to stab you in the butt
remember the dragons in RLP?
DF was devilish a while at the start, the Ruby adds
DUDE YES
holey
or even further back
Pls never mention RLP again
They did it too!
Ruby was a banger
Trying to explain early RLP to my friends who started late dragonflight, I can't get ahead in the conversation
IMO somewhere near the start of tww s2 they made a few changes, one was to tab targeting and the other was to mob stacking in relation to players and models
The result is that now a lot of times mobs will settle behind you if there are a lot
You see it with charge a lot, you charge, mobs end up behind you
thats always been the case
First pull of cinder is also very bad
whether it was increased or not, i would agree
but mobs tend to surround you due to collision on big enough pulls
Just keep stuttering, and ya wont notice
you also line em up for demolish
It def got way worse in s2 when they charged targeting and collision
You used to be able to tab and have your tab prioritize mobs that were casting but that seems to be broken now too
Clearly.
For like two seasons
The wiggling just looks weird and is distracting is my complaint
The MAN (blizzard) wants to keep us down and not let me thunder clap in the very center of a pack
a single mob shouldnt wiggle as much as those dumb dragons did
Or the stupid rock mobs, who decided to run through you
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
idk if we can report that as a bug but its just not something that seems correct (on the single mob wiggling like crazy)
Mobs dont want to stand ontop of eachother, that is 100% a feature. The weird happenings around that logic tho... I presume is "intended"
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
While i spam thunder clap every other gcd
Would make more sense it was bolster that did that
also give LS some additional value

They should simply remove LS because i hate it
or add something of value to it, without the need to talent
Last Stand should've been our cheat death 
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.
Or make ls baseline and put something useful to augment it on the tree (not bolster)
yup
perfect name for it too
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
💯
Use it for offense, use it for defense
Agency
Well designed imo and I did it in 30 seconds
Hire me blizz
seems a bit strong tbh
That’s ok we can tune it
Id prefer activation on death
Probably not possible for coding and server tick reasons
If you wouldve died, instead return to 30% hp with 80%dr for 4 seconds. 8 min CD
That’s just bsv
BSV procs at 30% no?
Yeah but that’s just tuning bag
My point was we need dual purpose to give meaningful choice
You can choose to use it for damage, at the risk of not having it for healing/surviving
I feel like this crosses the line between duel purpose and degenerate
if you want offensive choice, take a different talent
and forgo the cheat entirely
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
thats not degen
thats just overloaded AF
not sure how that actually got into the game without someone going 'I think thats too much'
Exactly
regardless, cheat should be last stand cause it fits the name
So give us degen last stand thanks
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

Banner of chains
Banner of misery
Banner of blood
Banner of skulls
Give us all the banners
Two aoe fear that can CC for a short second or be used for some skipping.
Also make sure that all these CCs have no resources.
Oh and a small aoe stun. Cause why not?
I see 4 banners listed
I thinking about 4 extra keybinds
and I panic


Get foot pedals
kinda bummed i have to play fury slayer in raid next season
hope arms catches some buffs
play Frost DK
im never not making warrior my main
unless the class is completely toast
but i will certainly try fdk
as an alt
Converting my DK to Frost
idc about all the nerfs they be catching
no DnD for Obli cleave?
sign me the fuck up
I also really like it in PVP
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
it should be
much like the Circlet
i imagine once you get a hero track belt upgraded
yeah thats the expectation rhino
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
we will see
I think its just highest I level boots
Heck yeah I’m holding a shield
I don’t need extra shield
Unless the extra shield lets me block 360 degrees
Will those lame ass boots be bis and only acquirable in raid?
yes
not sure about the bis part, at least for dps classes they will be
but they are indeed only acquirable in raid
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
its safe to assume so
I mean free DR is free DR
and yes that's also a good point
👋
ive been around
busy with other games for the most part
but good for the most part
Nim got a whiff of the ptr notes and sensed his return was necessary
mentally preparing for another wave of week 1 rerollers
Man dune had so much promise
but i got CE so im good
My buddies got this huge yellow stripe down their spines
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
I'm still looking for a Warhammer online vibe for a PvP MMO
Was a little too young to play that one unfortunately, I remember kripp talking about it fondly
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
on that point i agree
It looked incredibly negligible from what I remember
But sometimes you make a mistake and live with 1% hp
they did buff the shield like 200% a ptr cycle ago
Yeah but is it a myth only it’s the best situation
right
i guess what rhino is getting at is
It was nerfed a bit after that, but it's still at least noticable
hero track Eth boots vs myth track any boot
Wait isn't that the cloak? I thought the boots were like +dr for the raid specific damage type
Yep. William is thinking of the ring probably.
I'm sure I have an item db saved somewhere to figure this out for myself lol
The boots increase the cloak effect's frequency by 50%, and there's a ring that gives a shield and reduces cosmic damage taken.
This epic plate armor of item level 662 goes in the "Feet" slot. It is looted from Adarus Duskblaze. Added in World of Warcraft: The War Within.
yeah looking at that now
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
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

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?
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 😄
its not a constant thing anyway
myth track any boot is constant mit always up
is my point
vs hero track interloper's
I'm probably only running like 16-18s max next season, no need to run BSV in my case
but yeah i see the BSV point
just kill the boss mby this raid as easy as liberation. easiest tier since en
running full tank groups is always a good idea
it's literally playing the game on easy mode
You guys think the new dh void spec could be a tank? Could be first class with two tank specs
Been gone for a bit and I checked the pins, how we looking next patch? See a lot of changes
also boots are bonus loot iirc, so you cant really buy them afaik, i could be wrong
we are doing thane
prot good, fury good, mountain thane good
as far as the rest, nome and mwahi will update the guides either this weekend or next week
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.
naw, no new DH spec
but we will get a void DH questline
It’s happening
awesome thanks Nim and WIlliam! I gotta read through the changes but they seem pretty neat overall.
like Greenfire for locks
There will be a third spec call entropy
hmm, the ranger alleria, the void ranger, in the void expansion, with a new void spec being added for DHs
just gotta get em on the loot table
i wonder what the new spec will be
I'd love a new tank spec added to the game, but I'd rather that be Earth Warden Shaman or something.
I wonder if Alleria is actually a red herring and Illidan randomly comes back from playing chess with big sword guy
actually.... a light armored 2h dps spec would be cool
her character is fine
I dont know if DH is the best class for it though
no reason for them to make her a red herring
survival hunter is the tank
Survival hunter was a mistake
That what I said a month ago #protection message
heavy disagree
I would abandon warrior in an instant
give me old surv any day
old surv was fun, but new surv is good
stack agility to do 60% of the damage another person does so you can apply a raid debuff?
nostalgia does nothing for us
Other than dk when it came out.. would be cool to have a class with two tank specs like priests have two healing specs
BM shouldve been the melee hunter spec
and it shouldve been duel wield
like Rexxar

Illidan is going to come back and be like “I been chillin in the void check out ma new skillz” and then he’ll bring in the new dh spec.
Then he’ll finally get over tyrande when he gets with his new elf mommy alleria.
Then malfurion will show up and be like “BROTHER”
I mean it kinda feels like it right?
im ok with the sentiment but tank balance would be way worse
we are gonna get all the avengers
Illidan, Arthas, Deathwing, Sylvannas, Garrosh
If we don’t get shaman tank
I’ll riot
I will drive my car into blizzard head quarters
Theyd be stepping on our mountain thane turf
It’s not happening
And give them a strongly worded letter
Why would a sham tank be lightning based instead of earth based
bro, what a squad that would be
Tank Sham should have been a things for year.
same with lock tanking
This also why they didn’t nerf vengeance dh at all. They want people to try the new dh spec
Wind = Enhancement
Earth = Tank - Warder
Fire = Elemental
Water = Restoration
Yeah but I never played when they had meta so I missed the fun
apb sucking off illidan's toes while we are 3 hero classes combined, smh Broxigar, Blademasters and Mountain kings are shaking in their graves
Lmao
I personally wanted vdh to get nerfed hard
We just said it
yes augusto
yeap
I even made the topic on the forums
Slayer is Blademaster
And Colossus is like the good ol' Broxigar kind of deal
thane
/THān/
nounhistorical
noun: thane; plural noun: thanes
(in Anglo-Saxon England) a man who held land granted by the king or by a military nobleman, ranking between an ordinary freeman and a hereditary noble.

slayer is most def NOT blademaster
so we're not mountain kings yet
howw dare you
our mirror image was bastardized into wizard's hands
True
the only thing left is bladestorm
Where's our Windwalk?
Can't believe we are mountain regional managers.
This is bullshit.
Didn’t priest have some sort of windwalk in mop or something
also lets not forget tauren chieftains
who is our 3rd hero class
warriors = 3 hero classes, fuck DKs and DHs
Blizzard will not acknowledge tauren exist and you know this.
hero class this hero class that, yeah well we're 3 of them
3?
am i forgetting one?
the only hero class in WoW is mage
Warden I guess?
lets be real
yeah idk about warden
right
The old Outlaw rogue
combat
Combat rogue is like a big steaming pile of garbage. Because it is a big steaming pile of garbage.
ok but, nobody is arguing about that
Make survival hunter a tank. Thank you for your attention to this matter
in next patch, we will probably use MT or Colossus?
I wasn't arguing. Some things just gotta be said.
And don’t you ever forget 
#NeverForgetCombatRogueIsTrash
Sir this is warcraft. There are no buffs here
@lusty grotto I broke a game last night at pool and the tip of my break cue zoomed through the air like a tiny superhero 😢
lmao
Hey guys random question. Does the Helm enchant from Visions work next season?
Nah
S2 only
ty sir
f
u prob wanna be running both spear capstones rsther than 1 cruel strikes
i don't think wrecking throw is going to be an always pick so you could grab double time or something else handy
Well until next week when we get nerfed
Who knows what will happen then
Yeah yall copy liquid
Who knows what tank you’ll end up playing
Max knows. That dirty dog
that point in LS looking pretty useless
unless you need it specifically for a mechanic
yea, it was a free point
How many of the fights are pure single target this time
was thinking about the execute cleave as the flex
or maybe put it in alacrity for 2% haste
standard would be 2% haste probs
and then flex it into LS if needed or exe cleave if the fight is good for it
Demon hunters boss gonna get owned
wont even know what hit em
On wowhead ptr do they have ptr class guides
no
Prob wanna run sudden death over bloodborne
Pretty sure Nomer already simmed pure st
Clearly they saw my report
fastest mod this side of the Mississippi
what'd i miss
was it some random user posting pictures of a very clear scam?
clear and obvious
it was like, pics taken from a phone of their screen selling bitcoins or smthng
right
They’re always here watching
hi guys, what's the 11.2 raid build? colossus or mountain thane?
Nim, come on man, you can't interrupt the guy when he's at your mom's
Chillin waiting for patch day
MT, and wait until the guides update
Honestly TRUE
Smh!
back to fury right?
Oh yeah it’s fury tier
fucking christ
Better in keys and raid
Arms is competitive to fury in AoE but it does less ST at the same time
surely arms will get buffed 
Womp womp
Does fury have to use Odyn's though
did you see i got CE?
No the build right now doesn’t use it afaik

Things could have changed I’ve been a little absent
Shit boss anyway
Bro you’re blessed and you don’t even know it
Slots + trinket desyncing shit is annoying
Can’t wait to not have that issue next tier
yeah i guess
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

lmao


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

I'd like Arms a lot more if it wasn't for rend
The gameplay loop itself is fantastic for me personally
and/or trying to game up stacks on adds only for rng to fuck you like i said last night
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”

and then it procs with .2 second left the moment you finally sent a GCD
yup
This is the way
wholesome group finder
I LOVE LOSING A 15 STACK JUGG TO A PARRY WHEN YOU DONT HAVE A SECOND SUDDEN DEATH PROC
WOOOO PARRY IS AN AWESOME MECHANIC RIGHT GUYS?
Just don't get parried
right in the feels
<@&257983573498265600>
Everytime
whoa that was fast
Ty beautiful people
late wasnt late
Late is BiS
What the hell happened?
early late
Im just trying to enjoy my shitty fucking reels and after work rum and coke
Scammer trying to scam
AGAIN?
rum and coke sounds fucking great right now
oh
But then you realize what you’re hitting is steel and just beat it harder you’re not breaking it


Rum and Dr pepper!
No
Twisted Tea for me

it be like that sometimes
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
lol
Ope, just have to chalk that one up to being a Friday
I’m already thinking about my rum and dpep
😉
ngl i do rum and cokes with diet coke
i just dont know why but i prefer it over reg coke or zero
specifically for drinks
I'm stylin
well i do know why, it just tastes better to me for some reason
nice nice !
diet coke is better than coke and coke zero it is true
I feel so bad for you
Soda Stockholm Syndrome
This sounds like misinformation

@frosty mango can you confirm/deny the status of this information
The lurkers could be in peril
Slash s. Lurkers I’m employing sarcasm

I do be yapping today
Coke Zero has this emptiness to it, doesn't have the right mouthfeel
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
Old as time
It is fine -ish, but I only did 12-14s
Cant say magic dam was super scary
Dogos was worse
Bleed gone gone
Is it?
Sus
Imagine how sad I would be, if I got to know the bleed was still there
On this maximum stream “99% of time prot warr is the best tank”
I swear this community wants us dead every patch
Big anti warr propaganda continues on
Meanwhile vdh zero nerfs LOL
Just disgraceful to witness in real time
you mean vdh buffs
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
I mean I hate bdks in the wild
So anything that disincentivizes them from playing in my pugs is a good thing
BDK for raid? A or S tier, BDK for M+? Probably like C tier, it functions, but isnt anything special.
especially this patch. Blood dk doesn't feel so good right now
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
Roidberg's Mighty Pecs is the one I'm after
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
Logs would help
Very likely, you're casting Ignore Pain too much and/or not pressing everything else enough.
i basically keep shield slam on cd and i ahve shield block WA that basically helps me keep it up 24/7 and i still die so fast and never have rage
The list:
- Are you gearmaxed? No? Get more gear.
- Are you using ignore pain other than to dump rage? Yes? Don't do that
- Shield Slam when it is able
nah its my alt so im only 660
When I say everything, I mean everything
Aight, get gear - haste will solve most of your issues
the issue is if i dont ip i just die
You die because you press IP
Then you're not playing properly
it starves you
I don't track IP at all
it is a noobtrap, it feels smart, but it aint
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
@warm plinth @cerulean tusk
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
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
Bro what, he doesn't curse the whole group anymore? That's wild.
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?
Yeah no everything else on that list sounds amazing
I just don't know what that change is meant to be
Rfw guy confirmed pwar best
for raid its just cuz arms and fury are down bad
No
Best tank for raid currently according to the guys in the stream
for m+ tho big anti warr propaganda going on again
I was listening to the tank stuff
they said like 3 words for vdh m+
Na APB
The only reason they didn’t put PWar in crazy tier was max doesn’t rate attack power buff for m+
So in theory best tank atm but see how it goes
deranged takes going on
It's so interesting how you both watched it and have such differing takes on it
vdh is top tank and will be again
Apb has his take, I’m just repeating what was said in stream
Vdh got GIGA nerfed read the last notes omg
lol
No they didn’t
Parry went down 8%
I think y'all should cook us some pies and whoever prepared the best pie's take is the winning one
hes being serious
Toxic
This is worse than the nerfs that aug got in 11.1
Ffs Pepega
No, I'm just hungry and idk who to believe since you both seem to have watched it.
I’m just repeating info
Vdh bad if they take lots of damage believe me
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
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)
But he kinda isn’t counting phys buff
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?
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
Thanks mate, was it just halls of atonement or is there more?
Dont worry, Pwarr will be nerfed after the rwf
No idea. He gave no link so idk where those even came from
it is just for the raid
I didn't see them
Ahh yep, no worries.
I’ve been looking but can’t find the info
Pwar got their self heal nerfed. They are warriors and shouldn't be healing
Yes they did they were way higher in ptr and then got nerfed
I said nerf not when they got it
There is absolutely no buff or nerf until anything makes it to live
So it’s a buff
110-150%
115% buff of 10 is gets you to like 21
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
I'm going to play this season as Prot for the first time in my life
Especially when the playstyle shifted to Thane
And my gear is so behind, it will be hard to do mythics for me
@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?
hmm max putting prot up is kinda bad news
the nerf hammer will hit hard
but thankfully, arms is probably gonna get buffed
Yeah, you wanna fly under the radar a bit
who did he talk to
warrior side
let me watch this i guess
im guessing critcake maybe?
always based takes
critcake but via notes he sent him cuz he had to sleep
Crit is clearly sandbagging his opinions of DPS war
There’s a few of them in there
feelsbadman
Guy is playing 3d chess
he put arms in lowest tier
Can’t think of all the names off the top of my head
says needs a complete rework
thats cause arms is in the lowest tier
ya
hes 500% right
Arms actually down bad, but fury feels so good
dorki and dratnos did all the tanks
yeah thats fine
That’s the other one
they arent oblivious
Couldn’t think of the name off the top of my head
theyve played prot extensively at times
and i cant really disagree with their takes
dorki was pretty adament thinking prot warr was top tier
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
Yes
It’s much better imo
i dont know how to explain it more than that
yah mid
Easiest way I’d put it apb
that is how i feel about it too
but also keep in mind, we've been put high in the last recent seasons
There’s a lot of really great talents that are hard to get because they’re blocked by nothing talents
it means nothing, its just a tier list
yah that is how I feel filling it out
start of seasons, i mean
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
last stand
Then fight through flames nerf made 0 sense with removal of spell block
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
these small little defensive nodes just feel bad to waste a talent point on
feelsbadman
Do we know what stats we going for? Haste > Crit >>>>>> mastery, vers
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
I'm so bored rn
the same prio we've always played
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
man, i'm shocked
lol
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
what does spell blocked the gunk in ws do
not apply the absorb
or reduce it
reduce it
its just whatever there tbh
since you play stops for those during aoe anyway
Hop on OSRS and hit the gemstone crab with me for the next 8hrs
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.
can i be lvl 1
thats not a prot warrior issue
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
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
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.
you dont need to be high lvl thats for sure im not high level
living my best life for the next 8hrs
and use spell reflect on cd
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
no
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
also if you're like ilvl 610 and doing a t11 delve its gonna be tough
was it the little mushrooms? was it the anub guys?
I don't remember their specific names, but they were the elf like spider mobs. They had a LOT of health
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
Yup, I was running for my life, too. But I was also panicking because jesus christ my health is just depleting
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
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
and this is their cast https://www.wowhead.com/spell=452041/grimweave-orb
it wasnt silk lol
so yeah the slow can screw you there
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
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
People: ask for advice
Nim: “have you considered playing better?”
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
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
Oh I know it's not for everyone, I just like doing stuff solo.
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
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
Well tbf
Nim’s advice was a lot better than “spam IP”
Like the other guy said
Mouse did good
those orbs do suck, generally want to stun the cast or focus them down
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
So uh, after this past season of playing colo so much
I'm finding it really hard to remember to press TC lol
the damage reflection when blocking talent is so cool but we have to take 2 completely dead talents first which is just ☠️
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
Is thane good enough this season? I know it's not like ~optimal~ or anything but is it usable?
Yes it's usable
i mean like right now
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)
feel free to brick as many keys as you want
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?
If we enter Diminishing Returns for Haste, do we prioritize Vers after? Or keep going Haste? Is there a way to sim it properly?
Sims take DR into account no reason to ever think about DR
How do we sim Prot just DPS Sim on Simcraft?
I am not really sure on how simming as "tank" works
we just sim for dps
or, if you lazy, just prio haste>crit>vers>mastery
personally, I just throw on rings with haste
naw, its really just follow sim
haste is still our best defensive stat though
the diference is pretty miniscule all things considered
@shut summit arcing zap on Wastewander Farstalkers in eco dome is reflectable
boys any m+ ptr build?
thats likely the case
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
Anyone know when the wowhead guide for S3 will come out?
If I had to guess I would say the first day of season 3
nome wont publish anything until no more ptr changes confirmed
which basically means day 1
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
we're 100% getting nerfed
