it is relic right? relic > legendary > epic....etc

lusty grotto
#

artifact

mortal cypress
#

ah ok

lusty grotto
#

its semantics but light yellow is usually called an artifact

#

name makes no difference really

solid sun
#

Relics went into the artifact weapons right

#

I think those were called relics

mortal cypress
#

ah

lusty grotto
#

right, and in the ranged slots in vanilla

#

for certain healers / casters

mortal cypress
#

I do still find it funny that literally everything is epic now, like at a minimum you are in full purples

#

used to do a 40 man raid for months to get even half epics lmao

#

Tbf he’s laughing

#

Not yelling

#

He said it’s funny

lusty grotto
#

i mean, it has been the case since tbc

#

so

lunar flare
lusty grotto
#

not really a "now" thing

solid sun
#

Thank you

lunar flare
#

We like to collaborate here in the prot warrior channel

solid sun
#

Just not with you

Nobody likes ff8

#

nah bro

mortal cypress
#

fricking alzheimers!

lunar flare
#

That's fair, but I don't set my avatar based on what other people like

lusty grotto
#

tbc

#

if you raided

mortal cypress
#

i even played OG tbc and tbc classic

lusty grotto
#

if you only did dungeons, then wrath

mortal cypress
#

nah i raided the shit out of tbc, wrath, mop etc

#

but i dont remember being full purples

lusty grotto
#

i do

mortal cypress
#

guess i didnt even pay attention

#

fair enough

lusty grotto
#

still the only reason why you didnt wear full epics in vanilla is cause there were we some rare bis items

#

but it was still doable

#

with raids only of course

#

rare quality, i mean, so blues

solid sun
#

I do think there’s been a significant uptick

#

M+ farming really feels like it sped up the gearing process

lunar flare
#

True I can hear much better now

mortal cypress
#

lol

lusty grotto
#

its not a new thing

Blizz doing us a solid with health

No way that's a real person

it is, it's Dr Earman

#

Bet you didn’t know Star Trek was real

lunar flare
#

It is?

#

I love Ian Mckellen in that

lusty grotto
#

yes heres the enterprise

Funny looking spaceship buddy

#

There’s been 4, Nim. Identify that specific carrier

lusty grotto
#

we said star trek was real, not space battles

lunar flare
#

Space battles are real

lusty grotto
#

check mate star trek space battle believers

lunar flare
#

Do you think the workers who built the death star had health insurance

waxen frigate

#

Yes, it is so small difference, I forgot to point it out, as said, play whatever you want tbf

lunar flare
lusty grotto
#

the rest had Voldemort insurance, subsized by frodo

lunar flare
#

Star war is my favourite anime

lusty grotto
#

its a contender for sure

sharp gale
#

we already saw items with 3 secondaries before, but here we just have trashmaster cloak

#

(Azeroth neck)

winged brook
#

Is it worth keeping 4 set of previous season or just replace with higher ilvl asap?

lusty grotto
#

s2?

#

or s1?

#

s2 you dont replace until you get s3 4pc

#

4pc for 4pc

#

if its incredibly low ilvl, you can sim to check

#

if its season 1 tier, you replace it asap

undone beacon
#

Still rocking that DF S4 tier

chrome falcon
#

hmm

#

so i wonder with 4pc MT

#

do you even want to execute in aoe/cleave situations

#

or do you just keep SSing for more thunder blasts

#

with the execute cleave talen that is

lusty grotto
#

execute is more consistent

#

but you will still need rage for it

#

so it doesnt mean you wont ever SS

chrome falcon
#

yeah figured

undone beacon
#

Make execute proc thunder blast when blizz

solid sun
#

Thunder blast should proc more thunder blasts

charred moat
#

For tomorrow

solid sun
#

In a chain

undone beacon
#

I mean that’s kinda the thane tier set lol

maiden forge
charred moat
#

All starts from +2 key right?

solid sun
#

Hit thunder blast one time and then it just sends like 6 in a row because you high rolled

lusty grotto
#

except if you do a tazavesh hard mode

#

but yes

#

everyone starts at +2

sharp gale
#

Unless you jump into someone higher key as your first ?

lusty grotto
#

**TODAY

#

we're NA

#

🙂

charred moat
#

Ok ty so no need to do a key before reset right?

sharp gale
#

Is it still working like that ? You get a key if you : talk to npc, do a m0 or do a key

undone beacon
#

I rolled 5 thrashes off one cast in a delve yesterday

sharp gale
#

And you get a key lvl of the key you did

solid sun
#

So I’ll be sending some bear keys

undone beacon
#

Good good good

#

Although tbh when I play brew I never know what’s actually happening

Ur a drunken panda, what more is there to say

pls no bear puns

#

The lore for my goblin brewmaster is he’s a drunk driver from undermine. Nothing more needed

frosty mango
frosty mango
#

I’ve gotten up to like 2.1-2.3m overalls in m0 on brew which I think is enough for me considering I have 30000 haste

#

Playing brew with all the haste is an interesting experience

#

Feels like I’m just spamming purifying brew every other gcd

#

But this is the warrior discord so I’d rather be spamming that sweet thunder blast ever other gcd

fallow nova
#

Thunder blast and execute cleaves make happy brain chemicals go whoosh

true yoke
#

Which item should we craft as protection warrior?

sharp gale
#

If I was playing prot I would still wait after the first real vault before crafting tho (im fury in my guild)

#

The first week will be grabbing hero gear here and there, vault filling and heroic raid

lusty grotto
#

happy

sharp gale
#

Unless you are in mega guild reaching 4th mythic boss

sharp gale
lusty grotto
#

youre oversharing

#

also if you do 4th myth boss today, youre more than likely doing splits

#

also btw, im playing fury cause arms is dead 🙁

#

and yes, you craft shield first, you replace that only with a myth track shield

sharp gale
#

Yes I’m just explaining if I was more chill guy, I wouldn’t craft this reset

lusty grotto
#

i disagree

#

if youre more chlll you craft

#

shield is 2nd boss

#

its entirely doable within 2 weeks

sharp gale
#

Your craft is for things above 10s, you will not be pushing the first week

lusty grotto
#

says who

sharp gale
#

Just wait the first vault to see if a shield drop

lusty grotto
#

the first vault is today...

sharp gale
#

The first myth vault

lusty grotto
#

its capped to hero track

#

nah sorry i still disagree

#

should craft if you do not raid, period

sharp gale
#

We can have different opinion, mine is : you should craft when you will need it

lusty grotto
#

youre assuming people will have myth slots

#

im not

#

there's 0 reason to leave it to chance

chrome falcon
#

how much worse is spear compared to roar

#

i fucking hate spear

#

sorry

#

better*

lusty grotto
#

its better

#

cause more crit dam

#

as thane

#

but only as thane

sharp gale
#

Im pretty sure ppl will do those tazavesh weekly runs even if it takes them hours

minor lark
#

If I'm not a raider, would crafting sword and board be better than bracers? Easy to ilvl up and get to running higher keys

solid sun
#

I don’t think most people will succeed in Taz

lusty grotto
#

shield first

solid sun
#

Especially not this week

lusty grotto
#

then weapon

minor lark
#

Cheers

#

Tazavesh will be a nightnare

sharp gale
minor lark
#

if anyone dies, they are your enemy lol

solid sun
#

No they aren’t

sharp gale
#

Im talking about weekly vault filling taz

solid sun
#

They’re just a person just like you

sharp gale
#

Bc they can’t find a +10

lusty grotto
#

nobody did dawn because they couldnt find a +10

solid sun
#

Why wouldn’t they find a 10?

lusty grotto
#

so thats not gonna happen

#

this time around

sharp gale
#

And you have the option to do tazavesh m0 if you don’t find

lusty grotto
#

thats why they do what they do every season, they get their key up

sharp gale
#

It is a good thing imo

lusty grotto
#

there's nothing different about this season happy

#

we've been over it

#

with dawn in df

sharp gale
#

wdym there is nothing different, dawn in DF gave +10 vault ?

#

I missed it ?

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

and myth track loot

#

on hm runs

sharp gale
#

Well it was 18s but same

solid sun
#

I can’t remember - is 2k all 10s

#

Or less than

lusty grotto
#

less

#

all 10s is like 2.4k

sharp gale
solid sun
#

Yep

rough egret
#

not HM only?

sharp gale
#

Since m0 taz is already scale to a 10

solid sun
#

M0 is HM

sharp gale
#

Oh you HAVE to talk to the npc ? If you enter without talking it is lvl 60 mobs ?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

thats the only difference

#

between dawn and taz

#

taz is always hm

#

dawn was hm only if you started it hm

sharp gale
#

My thinking was : m0 is regular +10 taz vault and hm is just fun or myth end chest

lusty grotto
#

right

#

but its not

#

its always hardmode, has hardmode mechs, if you die you fail the myth track rewards, thats it

#

tbh its a much better approach than dawn

frigid valley
lusty grotto
#

but it still doesnt mean regular people will be able to do it

lusty grotto
#

because some of us play different specs

#

i might agree with you if someone played ONLY prot

maiden grove
#

Im at work. Someone take a picture of their vault so I can remember im not getting anything

frigid valley
#

ya thats fair, idk how long u guys been chatting about this so xD im just reffering to a main protter

lusty grotto
lusty grotto
#

unless if they come up early, which has happened

frosty mango
#

I’m calling late

#

lol

lusty grotto
#

but yeah expect the same old delays

#

and please dont spam vault pics

#

its old

#

so DM the guy or something

jagged gust
#

Unless you somehow get 3 Throngi Fingers

lusty grotto
#

no, it doesnt

#

unless its an incredibly bad vault

#

so we can have fun with it

#

also the choice is extremely clear for this vault

#

you pick tier or socket

#

thats it

#

nothing else

solid sun
#

I was told I’m getting six shields today

lusty grotto
#

there's literally no item that you need thats hero track from delves, and nothing you absolutely need champ track from dungeons

#

its just

#

tier

#

or socket

jagged gust
#

I miss when sockets were good

#

Felt good getting the equivalent of like 8-10ilvls when your vault was a bust

frosty mango

So I can immediately replace it the first key I run keks

grizzled nova
#

Now gems are like 0.01% of your total secondaries.

#

Rings have nearing 9k secondary stat on them, gem adds 150 lmao.

lusty grotto
#

hey at least you can also get a whopping, humongous, 1k gold

#

...that you can make running a world quest

#

but at least its something

#

compared to... nothing in legion and bfa

#

"oh i got 150 gold horray!"

grizzled nova
#

I'm still mad they made race wq 150g instead of 500g

#

why

lusty grotto
#

yeah that's kinda fucked

tepid sparrow
#

when you say socket, you mean any gear with a socket?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

we mean a socket

minor lark
#

Tryin to get into decent keys fast when I get home from work

680 ilvl feels good for 3s or so?

M0 made me want to run screaming from low keys

lusty grotto
#

should be

neon elk
#

680 is more tha enough for those imo

lusty grotto
#

ilvl shouldn't hold you back until, id say 10+

#

if 680+ is your starting point

#

provided you geared up correctly

#

anything that holds you back will be group related if at all

minor lark
#

682 Build from last season + I snagged Tome from my m0s, so pretty set for gear and stats

#

Unless we stopped using Haste for some reason it'll be fine

lusty grotto
#

as long as you have a big shield, you'll be good

minor lark
#

As always, metal beats God

lusty grotto
#

replace with hero track --> crafted asap

solid sun
#

Are you built ford tough

minor lark
#

I got that f150 in me

We all do

#

Hit 7s asap or whatever it is for gilded

#

Also Dawnbreaker is back

So it is a free loot pinata

What are people planning on crafting first this week? Shield before weapon?

No gilded was 7 even in season 2

7s is gilded

minor lark
#

Right! I had tried to help guildies gear for our AOTC run and just fell into 6s track. Cheers there

#

The dream is obviously Tazavesh no deaths, but that is a pipe dream for 95% of people week 1

solid sun
#

We are doing our run Sunday evening and I already set the expectation that we are going to share in the blame if anyone dies

#

Sometimes I feel like the guild dad

lusty grotto
#

i personally dont give a shit about it

#

LOL

minor lark
#

I roll with an RP guild since it was fun to discover on MG
Im not hyper stressed to get there til I can tbh

#

Just getting out of low keys hell is the mission

lusty grotto
#

if my guilds decide to run it i might tag along but its not a priority

minor lark
#

Agreed. Getting gear is nice, but frankly hero pieces are honestly more than enough for now

solid sun
#

Just gonna do it to see how it goes more than anything

Someone in my guild telling me Arms is fine as is, and that FDK just needed a rework to S tier far more

Homie, darling. No, in my humble opinion

toxic pewter

gonna post this to wow forums see if i get suspended

solid sun
#

How many of us are stuck working away from home

minor lark
#

Yep...

minor lark
#

Yep, but since I'm only 2 seasons into playing way more serious, my opinion didnt hold weight when they dont even touch arms or warrior

toxic pewter
#

yo do we want this trinket

minor lark
#

Hot damn

#

If a delve trinket is meta, that would make getting BiS much easier

toxic pewter
#

its already considered an A on wowhead hmmm

fringe burrow
neon elk
#

How would delve trinket makengetting bis easier ? U have like 1-2 shots at hero delve item per week

fringe burrow
#

even on champ the rng of getting it with the 4ish keys you get a week is annoying

minor lark
#

You're all correct, I just saw the numbers and lost common sense for a sec

toxic pewter
#

apparently that trinket may be one of our best m+ trinkets

fringe burrow
#

hate that

toxic pewter
#

perhaps

fringe burrow
#

but I'd rather that than it being a raid one since I don't raid I guess

lusty grotto
#

depends on sim numbers

minor lark
#

Also have to contest raid trinkets, which is always a joy if you pug

fringe burrow
#

happy to just redo tome/pacemaker like last season

minor lark
#

Im pretty happy tome is still around, stance dancing it felt great to optimize

neon elk
#

I bet nim is also glad for tome , right?

toxic pewter
#

working to get my codex asap.. gonna run streets nonstop

lusty grotto
#

tome is fine

prime sphinx
#

isnt codex awful

lusty grotto
#

not getting it is not

toxic pewter
#

i will not rest until i have been codexed

lusty grotto

but yes cursed idol is pretty damn strong

toxic pewter
#

1 sec channel not even big deal these days

lusty grotto

Usually for tanks i think dawrf are Better Just for the "tanky" Active racial. But for war its fine to go dark iron dawrf too? Cause warnjust dont give a fuck about physic damage rigth?

neon elk
#

I can already see people runing codex+ swarmlord claiming its meta cuz they saw one chinese fella use it

lusty grotto
#

or to do more damage

#

you just want the bleed clear

frosty mango
#

Is it a cursed stone idol season now boys?

#

Healers adjust while I get blasted during the channel. Thanks.

#

Just pop sw before chanel

lusty grotto
#

idol is the new core amp

#

or this season's

#

wait

frosty mango
#

I dunno I feel like at lower gear levels in higher keys even with SW pressing that is gonna be a death sentence lol

lusty grotto
#

why did i think it was a delve trinket

frosty mango
#

It’s farmable

#

Halls

lusty grotto
#

yeah my fucking paladin has it

#

LOL

prime sphinx
#

someone baited u earlier by saying it was

frosty mango
#

Gonna be a goated bear trinket

lusty grotto
#

gotta resim delve trinkets ig

frosty mango
#

Nethergate man I’m telling you

#

Gonna be a dark horse early contender

lusty grotto
#

hmm...

frosty mango
#

I don’t think it will outscale at mythic ilvls but

toxic pewter
#

u guys want the cheat death trinket off dimensius

lusty grotto
#

its whatever

#

tbh

frosty mango
#

For nether gate 340m damage per dungeon assuming no damage scaling puts it as a pretty strong early trinket

toxic pewter
#

I think id rather take this one off dimensius

#

seems more fun

lusty grotto
#

brand is the best one

frosty mango
#

Brand is highest dps

lusty grotto
#

brand + antenna gang

toxic pewter
#

yah for sure

#

wtf is an antenna

frosty mango
toxic pewter
lusty grotto
#

spidey mcspiderface

frosty mango
#

So it does poop tank dps

toxic pewter
#

antena just gives a lot of crit i see

frosty mango
#

Crit is life

lusty grotto
#

brand is just kezan/cataclysm/anvil 7.0

frosty mango
#

It’s better tho

lusty grotto
#

but still okayge

toxic pewter
#

how quickly does brand drop off out of combat

frosty mango
#

Because the decay is slow enough that no shenanigans are needed

toxic pewter
#

oh great

lusty grotto
#

good

frosty mango
#

So you are rarely out of combat for more than 6-8s

toxic pewter
#

stacks u p to 15 apparently

frosty mango
#

Yeah and the delta between keeping max stacks and just playing normal is very low

toxic pewter
#

pretty good

frosty mango
#

When I tested it on ptr (I did floodgate) the difference was low, like 6%

#

That’s a very small data set but to me it seemed easier to just play normally

toxic pewter
#

takes almost 4 ~~seconds ~~ min to get 15 stacks apparently does that sound right

frosty mango
#

4 ish minutes?

#

I think

toxic pewter
#

oops i meant min yea

#

typo

undone beacon
#

4 second turbo brand activate

toxic pewter
#

lol

#

Just gonna drop all the crit from my gear and then run both pacemaker and antenna, easy game

frosty mango
#

On bear

#

Big dam

undone beacon
#

Hell yeah

#

Plus big dodge

frosty mango
#

Vers is for losers

#

Haste/crit big dam players

lusty grotto
undone beacon
#

No stat is really bad for bear, the simplicity of haste/vers is very approachable but haste/crit big numbie

toxic pewter
#

ya

frosty mango
#

Then I get to troll the dps

undone beacon
#

I also mock my dps whenever I beat them on the bear cuz cmon guys I thought bear was bad

frosty mango
#

Cauldron was the best when it lines up and you get the double rips

#

And double rakes

And all the ravage crits

Warrior still feels cooler though

prime sphinx

#

it was used

but there were better trinkets

#

whetstone, big toe, icon, etc

heady latch
#

Im just getting back to tanking this season, Is Tome of Light's devotion really the best for prot warrior?

lusty grotto
#

sure

#

just like last season

#

its great

heady latch
#

I havent tanked in two xpacs really is why I asked

lusty grotto
#

tome/pacemaker are solid ones

heady latch
#

I see it on icey veins and wowhead and such but a list is never as good as actual players

lusty grotto
#

ire/sacbrood/antenna/soleah are good picks too

#

wdym

#

that list is made with sims, so we just repeat it

#

what sims say, we do

#

except for situationally or otherwise defensive options

#

like shield and dimensius trinket, or mud

#

and when i say made with sims i dont mean bloodmallet style

heady latch
#

Oh the sims are great, i'm not questioning that. But like you said, there are sometimes gems that the sims cast to the side for one reason or another.

lusty grotto
#

not this season

#

and sims just werent working with tome last season

#

but they are now

#

as in they required the custom apl

heady latch
#

That explains what I was seeing in forums then

lusty grotto
#

uhh

#

do not take advice from the forums or reddit

heady latch
#

I am truly loving prot warrior again. I'm not the greatest damage but if I did my math right, IP with the cloak is basically 70% dam red. And I normally don't. It's why I came here. Conflicting info and such.

lusty grotto
#

what kind of info

#

IP isnt your main mit tool

#

SB is

#

just fyi

grim pilot
#

Then it’s not 70% dr from ip + cloak alone

#

It’s 60

heady latch
#

so Forums, and I know, not the greatest info, was saying that Tome of Lights Devotion was at best, a low tier trinkey that didn't do well, despite potential. Other pages said it was the must have for tanks. Icy viens was saying that Tome was BIS or one of BIS. As for the IP, I realize it is not the Main mit. But as long as it is up, isn't IP 50 % dam red in essence because it takes 50% of damage from the IP absorb? Or am I forgetting a number. It has been a couple years since I really played Prot warrior.

lusty grotto
#

icy veins and wowhead are made by our admins, mods and TCs

#

so trust those for the time being, if the writers change and they arent in here then you can ask us regardless

prime sphinx
#

forums be feely craft extravaganza

heady latch
#

Hence why I came here. I don't trust forums all that much but it had me wondering is all

lusty grotto
#

IP isnt damage reduction, not in the sense wall is

#

its a partial absorb

heady latch
#

agreed. I meant DR in the sense that I don't take some of the damage, in this case, I thought IP was 50 % but I could be wrong on the numbers, to my health bar

lusty grotto
#

you do take damage with IP, cause its partial

#

the cloak is also a partial shield

#

after armor/block/parry and full DRs they take whatever percent of damage which chunks at the shield

#

meaning if youre left with 1 million damage inc after armor/block/parry/DR, it'll be reduced by 20% up to the full value of the absorb (in the case of the cloak)

#

and ofc under 40% hp it'll be more than that

heady latch
#

ok so heres the question, if i might. Firstly, I was using DR as anytype of damage that does not hit my health bar. I apologize if I was confusing or misinterpreting what I meant. Lets say though that I recieve 100 damage. The IP should, if i remember it's numbers right, take 50%(unless it has changed since I last looked at it, and it could have being a couple years ago or so.) the cloak should take another 20% (assuming the effect is up) so, by that math, I should take 30 Damage right?

fluid widget
#

We should get some of that monk dynamic scaling of stagger to apply to ignore pain, what could go wrong

heady latch
#

Not counting a parry, shield block , etc.

lusty grotto
#

you have to count them

#

cause they factor in

#

so you would mean 100 damage AFTER those

heady latch
#

Yes

lusty grotto
#

yes you would take 50 damage, provided the IP has enough left

#

otherwise i'd be less

#

that scenario isnt realistic though cause the damage left is usually far more than IP's value

#

but its a good example to see how it works

#

partials function in order of application btw

#

so if IP was up first

Oh fact. SOmething me and my wife found out running a couple 11 delves last night. I am 678 Il I think. I kept IP up, but yeah.

lusty grotto

so 100 reduced by 50% is 50, then by 20% will result in 40 damage

heady latch
#

SO the % absorbs are based off of the current damage that is hitting it after everythign else, not the overall initial damage. So the two absorbs are not stacked in % absorbed as I was thinking.

lusty grotto
#

yes

heady latch
#

that explains why it was 60% not 70% like i was thinking

lusty grotto
#

thats why SB is important (and damage reduction in general such as Wall, SR, Defensive Stance, Demo Shout, etc)

and far more useful

Seriously thank you. I have been out of the tanking game for so long. I learned tanking back in Vanilla wow when it was just wow. Different account now, but yeah. It is obviously very different, but I kept seeing so many tanks towards the end of last season I was DPSing, having just come back to WoW, and they made me cringe. It wasn't one thing, but I kept saying I could do better.

Here’s a good example

If my daughter is doing something out of sorts, like creating a massive mess you might expect me to say something like “you need to come in here and clean up this mess now” - it’s very specific

But if you get me all frothed up I’ll revert to my hoodrat upbringing and I might say something like “if yall mfers don’t get in here and clean this shit up im fixin to beat some asses”

Esp when it comes to cursing

I remember getting in trouble as a kid, and living only a couple blocks from teh school, obviously I walked home. The VP, Mr King, was cool, but well, somehow, if I got in trouble at school, everyone knew it on the way home. Mrs. Liverbee or however her name was spelled, old lady about 80 something, she had a these slippers. And she wasn't afraid to pop your butt if you messed up at school. No one's parents argued, hell, I think they encouraged her. She never went beyond stern though. You had to really mess up to get the slipper. Normally it was a stern talking to that made you feel lower then dirt.

i dont think i can live without cursing

To give you a really short indication of the difference between poor life and normal life, I started working full time at 14 and saved all my money, at 16 I asked my father if I could save up enough for half of a car if they could help with another half and his exact response was “if you only saved half with one job sounds like you need another job”

I’ve watched a couple of the guides for routes and it’s been interesting the differences

honestly i cant explain it, i just feel i dont like them. For example, in Priory you are going right, and in Arakara you are going left?*

jagged gust

yeah?

lusty grotto

left in ara kara was standard in high keys

#

right in priory is a departure for this season

wait, since when going right in priory is a thing? o.o, went off at the .7 patch

Justification for right has been multiple content creators

but its correct since the right side is technically more manageable

you can go either side anyway

I didn't even know there was a right route in ak

lusty grotto

since the mini boss changes etc

Basically they buffed the judgement so it hurts more and earthshatter is an aoe

So going left makes the boss harder unless your team sucks at kicks

what about arakara, do you go left with more summoning crab things, or right with more interrupts needed?

not quite

break 8 and 9 apart, shrills are very far apart + hulking dmg reduction. When the shrills go off, you lose % from percentage if they go off

Think everyone is stuck there

mighty valley
#

You can also just sandbag as Thane, it won't be the make or break on your runs

#

I just heard a guild member come online

mighty valley
#

laoding bar

#

But I'm still loading

#

i went and made some coffee and it still wasnt up

warm plinth
#

Eyyy they posted the article

#

I'm gonna go ahead and take credit for it even though he said something was probably already in the pipeline

warm plinth
#

@mighty valley Blizzard why

#

I was not done self-actualizing

“Fixed an issue where players could not load beyond 99.9999999%”

I CAN'T REMEMBER

grizzled nova
#

I know when my CPU fans spin down after loading completes that it's not gonna let me lmao.

warm plinth
#

Maybe it was my health is zero and the other thing's health is above zero?

#

That sounds right

mighty valley
#

Maybe you need to get them above 100%

lol my game just doesnt wanna load

crisp dawn
#

ewwws

#

i gotta rethink my thought of running m+

Holy loading screen boss

funnel classes?

warm plinth
#

THE FUNNEL

frosty mango
#

Classes that can turn damage on multiple targets into more damage in a priority target

crisp dawn
#

hu okay

warm plinth
#

AKA the people who inevitably pad instead of doing the funnel!

crisp dawn
#

i just wanna run through the dungeon

#

how important will that be till 10?

#

or is 10 baseline these days?

frosty mango
#

It is zero important

warm plinth
#

It's not even after 10

#

At some point, maybe. But not for the average or even above average player

#

It's more just to make weekly keys go faster XD

frosty mango
#

It’s not important until you’re struggling to meet timer due to dps requirements which is probably like 14

crisp dawn
#

ugh no

#

i rather go a bit slower as long completion time isnt endangered

warm plinth
#

I'm the same way. 1st pull workshop is a prime example

restive oak
#

gotta go fast

crisp dawn
#

or do you get extra rewards for being ultra zoomie?

frosty mango
#

And I wouldn’t recommend doing it unless you’re in a group where everyone knows it’s happening

warm plinth
#

I tried pulling it all at once one time

#

And after that was like yeah nope

#

Wall skip in ML? Nah fuck that, we're doing a peacekeeper

#

If you pull it in a random 6 all the pugs are immediately going to cleave it down which will defeat the point entirely

#

It’s only useful if you leave it up for the funnel class to…..actually funnel

sharp gale
#

Healing profile is more important but you get it quick to not take 3 target heal mobs unless you are confident in your healer

warm plinth
#

If the sound effects on my load screen are any indication, everyone in my guild is getting online except for me

mighty valley
#

below 10, just hold w, pull 1-2 packs at a time, and everything will be fine

old flame
#

If you pug or do "casual" M+ with friends and stuff, then safe routes are always the play imo

frosty mango
#

Agree

#

Tbh I will run the basic w key routes I ran on ptr until we start to struggle

warm plinth
#

This doesn't seem nearly as helpful

frosty mango
#

And then I will optimize

solid sun
#

W Key for the win

#

hey at least I'm d/cing faster now
