artifact
ah ok
its semantics but light yellow is usually called an artifact
name makes no difference really
ah
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
Sorry I'll DM you any memes before posting so u can approve them
not really a "now" thing
Thank you
We like to collaborate here in the prot warrior channel
really? I thought it was legion where everything became epic
nah bro
fricking alzheimers!
That's fair, but I don't set my avatar based on what other people like
i even played OG tbc and tbc classic
if you only did dungeons, then wrath
nah i raided the shit out of tbc, wrath, mop etc
but i dont remember being full purples
i do
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
I do think there’s been a significant uptick
M+ farming really feels like it sped up the gearing process
True I can hear much better now
lol
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
yes heres the enterprise
needs sound
Boat
Which one
Funny looking spaceship buddy
There’s been 4, Nim. Identify that specific carrier
we said star trek was real, not space battles
Space battles are real
check mate star trek space battle believers
Do you think the workers who built the death star had health insurance
True otherwise we wouldn’t have a space force
Many of them were Wookiee slaves so no
Yes, it is so small difference, I forgot to point it out, as said, play whatever you want tbf
Sad
the rest had Voldemort insurance, subsized by frodo
Star war is my favourite anime
its a contender for sure
we already saw items with 3 secondaries before, but here we just have trashmaster cloak
(Azeroth neck)
Is it worth keeping 4 set of previous season or just replace with higher ilvl asap?
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
Still rocking that DF S4 tier
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
execute is more consistent
but you will still need rage for it
so it doesnt mean you wont ever SS
yeah figured
Make execute proc thunder blast when blizz
Thunder blast should proc more thunder blasts
For tomorrow
In a chain
I mean that’s kinda the thane tier set lol
true
All starts from +2 key right?
Hit thunder blast one time and then it just sends like 6 in a row because you high rolled
Unless you jump into someone higher key as your first ?
Ok ty so no need to do a key before reset right?
Is it still working like that ? You get a key if you : talk to npc, do a m0 or do a key
Sounds like you need to play more bear, they literally have that as a talent for Thrash
I rolled 5 thrashes off one cast in a delve yesterday
And you get a key lvl of the key you did
Brew and bear are my preferred not-warrior tanks
So I’ll be sending some bear keys
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
drunken goblin*
Unbearable
The lore for my goblin brewmaster is he’s a drunk driver from undermine. Nothing more needed
You’ll have to bear with me
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
Thunder blast and execute cleaves make happy brain chemicals go whoosh
Which item should we craft as protection warrior?

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
happy
Unless you are in mega guild reaching 4th mythic boss
Yes ?
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
Yes I’m just explaining if I was more chill guy, I wouldn’t craft this reset
i disagree
if youre more chlll you craft
shield is 2nd boss
its entirely doable within 2 weeks
Your craft is for things above 10s, you will not be pushing the first week
says who
Just wait the first vault to see if a shield drop
the first vault is today...
The first myth vault
its capped to hero track
nah sorry i still disagree
should craft if you do not raid, period
We can have different opinion, mine is : you should craft when you will need it
youre assuming people will have myth slots
im not
there's 0 reason to leave it to chance
Im pretty sure ppl will do those tazavesh weekly runs even if it takes them hours
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
I don’t think most people will succeed in Taz
shield first
Especially not this week
then weapon
Im not talking about deathless taz
if anyone dies, they are your enemy lol
No they aren’t
Im talking about weekly vault filling taz
They’re just a person just like you
Bc they can’t find a +10
nobody did dawn because they couldnt find a +10
Why wouldn’t they find a 10?
Bc they are not stinker gamers like us to grind Rio to be accepted in 10s first week
And you have the option to do tazavesh m0 if you don’t find
thats why they do what they do every season, they get their key up
It is a good thing imo
there's nothing different about this season happy
we've been over it
with dawn in df
Well it was 18s but same
But it is standard m0 tazavesh giving +10 vault right ?
Yep
not HM only?
Since m0 taz is already scale to a 10
M0 is HM
Oh you HAVE to talk to the npc ? If you enter without talking it is lvl 60 mobs ?
no
thats the only difference
between dawn and taz
taz is always hm
dawn was hm only if you started it hm
My thinking was : m0 is regular +10 taz vault and hm is just fun or myth end chest
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
imo, craft no matter what, plenty of sparks over the season, and every tid bit helps at start, first mythic vault and u get a shield in it surerly has something else as well that early on to grab
but it still doesnt mean regular people will be able to do it
nope
because some of us play different specs
i might agree with you if someone played ONLY prot
Im at work. Someone take a picture of their vault so I can remember im not getting anything
ya thats fair, idk how long u guys been chatting about this so xD im just reffering to a main protter
4 hours until servers come up... so you're gonna have to wait
unless if they come up early, which has happened
but yeah expect the same old delays
and please dont spam vault pics
its old
so DM the guy or something
Unless you somehow get 3 Throngi Fingers
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
I was told I’m getting six shields today
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
I miss when sockets were good
Felt good getting the equivalent of like 8-10ilvls when your vault was a bust
Bugged vault, 6 cloaks
Dunno id take a fat heroic delve trinket
So I can immediately replace it the first key I run 
Something about people being mad that high rolling sockets felt mandatory because they're 1% of your dps or something.
Now gems are like 0.01% of your total secondaries.
Rings have nearing 9k secondary stat on them, gem adds 150 lmao.
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!"
yeah that's kinda fucked
when you say socket, you mean any gear with a socket?
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
should be
680 is more tha enough for those imo
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
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
as long as you have a big shield, you'll be good
As always, metal beats God
replace with hero track --> crafted asap
Are you built ford tough
I got that f150 in me
We all do
100%
Hit 7s asap or whatever it is for gilded
6s if last season hasn't changed
Also Dawnbreaker is back
So it is a free loot pinata
What are people planning on crafting first this week? Shield before weapon?
Seems to be
No gilded was 7 even in season 2
Ty for the correction
😄
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
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
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
if my guilds decide to run it i might tag along but its not a priority
Agreed. Getting gear is nice, but frankly hero pieces are honestly more than enough for now
Just gonna do it to see how it goes more than anything
inb4 they forgot to remove cloaks from vault
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
gonna post this to wow forums see if i get suspended
How many of us are stuck working away from home
Yep...
Arms is super not fine
lol
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
yo do we want this trinket
its already considered an A on wowhead hmmm
...would it? you'd want it on heroic which means vault, so 8 delves a week as your only path to it for heroic?
How would delve trinket makengetting bis easier ? U have like 1-2 shots at hero delve item per week
even on champ the rng of getting it with the 4ish keys you get a week is annoying
You're all correct, I just saw the numbers and lost common sense for a sec
apparently that trinket may be one of our best m+ trinkets
hate that
perhaps
but I'd rather that than it being a raid one since I don't raid I guess
depends on sim numbers
Also have to contest raid trinkets, which is always a joy if you pug
happy to just redo tome/pacemaker like last season
Im pretty happy tome is still around, stance dancing it felt great to optimize
I bet nim is also glad for tome , right?
working to get my codex asap.. gonna run streets nonstop
tome is fine
isnt codex awful
not getting it is not
i will not rest until i have been codexed
but yes cursed idol is pretty damn strong
codex is dogshit apb
yeah I know I was jk
but I also do still want one
lmao
fair enough
for some reason...
bro is stam stacking, do u also gem stamina?
yeh bruh
im sure it'll be fun in pvp
stamlord
lmao
baseg
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?
I can already see people runing codex+ swarmlord claiming its meta cuz they saw one chinese fella use it
dark iron is fine, you dont want the racial to be tankier, you just want it to clear bleeds and/or debuffs
or to do more damage
you just want the bleed clear
Is it a cursed stone idol season now boys?
Healers adjust while I get blasted during the channel. Thanks.
Just pop sw before chanel
I dunno I feel like at lower gear levels in higher keys even with SW pressing that is gonna be a death sentence lol
why did i think it was a delve trinket
someone baited u earlier by saying it was
Gonna be a goated bear trinket
gotta resim delve trinkets ig
hmm...
I don’t think it will outscale at mythic ilvls but
For nether gate 340m damage per dungeon assuming no damage scaling puts it as a pretty strong early trinket
brand is the best one
Brand is highest dps
brand + antenna gang
Pretty sure this has a tank modifier
yeah true
spidey mcspiderface
So it does poop tank dps
antena just gives a lot of crit i see
Crit is life
brand is just kezan/cataclysm/anvil 7.0
It’s better tho
but still 
how quickly does brand drop off out of combat
Because the decay is slow enough that no shenanigans are needed
oh great
good
1 stack/3 seconds on ptr
So you are rarely out of combat for more than 6-8s
stacks u p to 15 apparently
Yeah and the delta between keeping max stacks and just playing normal is very low
pretty good
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
takes almost 4 ~~seconds ~~ min to get 15 stacks apparently does that sound right
4 second turbo brand activate
lol
Just gonna drop all the crit from my gear and then run both pacemaker and antenna, easy game
I’m playing like 20k crit
On bear
Big dam
all other iterations took that long anyway
No stat is really bad for bear, the simplicity of haste/vers is very approachable but haste/crit big numbie
ya
I just love in raid when we pull with lust and I get like 6 ravage procs and I’m doing 6m dps
Then I get to troll the dps
I also mock my dps whenever I beat them on the bear cuz cmon guys I thought bear was bad
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
was eye of skovald used by warriors when it came back
does enough stuff proc these range trinkets
Im just getting back to tanking this season, Is Tome of Light's devotion really the best for prot warrior?
I havent tanked in two xpacs really is why I asked
tome/pacemaker are solid ones
I see it on icey veins and wowhead and such but a list is never as good as actual players
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
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.
not this season
and sims just werent working with tome last season
but they are now
as in they required the custom apl
That explains what I was seeing in forums then
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.
Cloak is 20% no?
Then it’s not 70% dr from ip + cloak alone
It’s 60
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.
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
forums be feely craft extravaganza
Hence why I came here. I don't trust forums all that much but it had me wondering is all
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
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
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?
We should get some of that monk dynamic scaling of stagger to apply to ignore pain, what could go wrong
Not counting a parry, shield block , etc.
you have to count them
cause they factor in
so you would mean 100 damage AFTER those
Yes
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
it'll chunk the IP first
then the cloak
etc
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.
so 100 reduced by 50% is 50, then by 20% will result in 40 damage
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.
yes
that explains why it was 60% not 70% like i was thinking
thats why SB is important (and damage reduction in general such as Wall, SR, Defensive Stance, Demo Shout, etc)
and far more useful
Do u think that crafting shield is better than another item? like wrist or feets?
I am honestly going to spend my first spark on a shield I just don't want to take a chance.
what good is anyt other gear if you can't survive
Shield > Weapon > low ilvl slots + embelishments if possible
and as always
myth tracks trump crafted shields/weapons
always ilvl > all on those
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.
🤝 im also a vanilla vet
ahh the days of a raid where Vent or team speak, I honestly don't remember anymore, and it coming out 2-3 minutes after you said it.
Shield wall 1 hour cooldowns... god... how did we actually do anything
I’m so glad hit rating isn’t real anymore
Four horseman flashbacks
Or expertise
or weapon skill
What about Ahn Qiraj, I think that was the one, with the guild breakers
Finding a rogue that wasn't PVP for the trap room
My guild broke at M'uru 🙁
I was forced to go resto Druid for sapph 🙁
cause one of the tanks decided to step out of the blocks at the last second on a kill
ouch ( cringes in pain and memories.)
either way we kept going for tbc, just the general roster didnt play together
i kinda took over leading then
Oh damn, I forgot that one. yeah.
I think I played vanilla like a single Saturday at a friends house
I do miss the utterly ridiculous addons from that era
i loved addons
i had one of those screens
but thats only because i came from EQ1 where addons werent really a thing
i have my screenshots in my other pc, ive been meaning to up all that shit to the cloud
I just remember wanting to be a Tauren because being a Minotaur thing sounded sick as heck
But it felt so slow with their animation in comparison to like gnomes and dwarves
couldnt be me, we were alliance
Yeah I ended up rolling a gnome
human for me
12 year old me being incredibly sad someone had already taken the name Drizzt I wanted for my nelf hunter 🙁
I remember seeing the mage spell effects and being like oooooooo wow
And then my friend discovered rogues could turn invisible
Felt like he was a giant cheater
I remember panning my camera up and seeing the giant teldrassil trees
my first nimchip was a rogue
trees freaking blew my little mind
got to lvl 10 and decided to roll warrior
(my first nimchip was a druid in eq1)
the ambience was chefs kiss
My first warrior was Gruagg, an orc warrior. I started as Fury, eventually found the berserker quest line.
But then we went back to Mario kart and James Bond and counter strike and perfect dark and whatever else
I didn’t return to wow until tbc
Golden Eye and Perfect Dark, glory days
That’s true
but we played those alongside WoW
same as CS
much to the detriment of my parents LOL
x2 cause my lil bro
I wanted to play wow growing up but our family pc was like a 2002 Mac
I was an enterprising young man, very careful about safety and made sure to heed advice from others. I deleted the dreaded Sys32 virus on my first desktop
oh def did that when i was young
i remember my mom had to bring the pc to her job's it to fix it lmao
which meant a reformat of course
I was able to play wow, but parents set time limits as I was in Highschool at the time. then in 2005 I went ot Boot camp and AIT for the army. Once I got active, I got a Laptop and internet in the barracks, and well, I started getting 4 hours of sleep a night for 6 months. I was actually fine, being so young and having tons of coffee.
yeah same, my parents set strict time limits
we were just fucking rascals and snuck out
Facts!
We were too poor for that kinda fancy stuff
i was in college (well, we called it university) by the time wow came out
That’s why I had to do that kinda stuff at a friends house
Morning
oh, the day my dad bought us Conkers Bad Fur day on N64. he nearly had a heart attack!
i'm pretty impressed that i didn't ruin my own life with wow
tbf rhino
i started pc gaming at a friend's house
i didnt start early
we were one of the poorest in the neighborhood
it took significant lobbying to get a proper pc (and summer work)
Humble beginnings. But look at us now
so i skipped doom/quake 1 and started at q2

I lucked out. My mom worked at Avon at the time and was very good at it.
I grew up in a 550 sqft house in the projects and didn’t have a computer of my own until high school, you’d refer to me as a hoodrat
Oh that's not what I thought it was gonna be
bro my mom was big into avon, i fucking hated it
Curse you phone
we weren't rich or anything like that. But my parents made sure me and my 2 brothers had plenty of things to do inside. We didn't exactly get along with the neighborhood kids we moved to when I was 11. Before that, well, my middle brother was a cancer survivor, with my father being a former marine, I was very protective.
My wife still gets mad when I don’t repress my hoodrat poor person accent and mannerisms
Tf is a poor person accent lol
Where do Colossus and Thane stand right now with old set?
you play colossus
Nice
Same place they did last season. Colossus is better.
until you get season 3 4pc
wait... REALLY?
Low income neighborhoods have very specific linguistic properties
Then Thane?
correct
I was sticking with Thane cause yeah.....
thane is only better because of tier
S3 tier is massive
which is why it got nerfed
thats a name i havent heard of in a long time
but is still massive
Mainly mashing words together, cursing frequently, and referring to everyone by their nickname or last name because those communities ironically enough tend to have more of a community presence lol
Guess I'll have to look at Collosus If I can't get my 2 set/4 set fast
you dont have to
thane is perfectly playable
it just does.... 15 to 20% less aoe damage
numbers probably less than that due to aoe execute
but still
ahhh.... I thought it was a survivability thing. Ok, I feel better then.
i went to school with all sorts of people and stayed with my grandma in the projects during the summer, so i get it
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”
The last name thing is also a private/gendered school thing
I was omega poor that’s why I left at 17 and taught myself how to function in normal society but if you get me really upset it’s still all in there
I mean... it's accurate and gets the point across that someone done messed up.
my parents were poor growing up so they had the same thing which we learned
Yeah mainly a community thing I find - when you’re in “the hood” for lack of a better term, people tend to be very community focused
Everyone knows everyone
That’s definitely not a thing in suburban middle class America
Schools are similar I guess, very community driven
call it Mrshooty
Do you have a specific way of saying mf because I definitely do
I also still have friends who call me by my last name
Anyone with a WA for Dwarf Racial? So i get a notification when there's a "deadly" bleed i can remove? 😄
Yes I have wierd ways of saying a lot of things my wife makes fun of me for lol
I’m also still in a poor neighborhood and every now and then I just forget my social lessons and become very much what you’re describing
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
My wife grew up very privileged(owned a big farm/politics ) and I grew up eating crackers and tuna for dinner so we are very different people
But yes I have very specific ways of saying things, especially curses, that come out when I get pissed lol
I think getting married very young had a big impact on “civilizing” me so to speak
@lusty grotto The army was very... stern... in how you acted infront of officers
lol I work in construction so the way I talk often times doesn’t matter unless the homeowner is present
i had a teacher that just stared you down and you'd feel like your soul was leaving your body
Then all of a sudden most of my vocabulary I’ve known forever isn’t allowed
Though being a part of both rich and poor circles I don’t see a real difference in either other than the impact of money on attitudes
but yeah belt buckle beatings were the norm for us 🙂
I had the switch, lol
We had a broom!
it wasn't a good beeting unless the belt broke my dad used to say
what the hell did i walk into
well, broom handle
im exagerating, not the buckle, but the belt absolutely
Or the blinds plastic turner thing
We’re bonding over our childhood beating instruments
TRAUMA DUMP SESSION
LOL
What were you beaten with @pash?
When the paddle broke on my backside we leveled up to the belt
they gotta open the servers before shit gets even more real
Trauma! please.... taught us how to act.
My parents didnt beat me with shit, its why im such a bitch now
I just got told no video games and then was allowed on video games after pouting
teehee
look i dont condone beatings but... that shit where they never say "no" to their kids is fucking insane and ridiculous
none of this sit down and talk about feelings. You learned to do what mom and dad said, or whoever the adult was at the time, and we learned to be sneaky. it rarely worked but hey
how do you expect those kids to understand limits
My punishments never lasted long but my parents were also just really intimidating and i have a naturally very high sense of guilt so i rarely acted out of line as is
The threat of beatings was enough to keep me in line
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”
ahahah
lol
my dad was similar
My dad simply told me, if I was making that much, I could help around the house and obviously had free time that could be used better
Perks of skipping two grades, you graduate early
I graduated Highschool then went to the army
Part of being a rhino is that my brain is too tiny to do something like graduate too early
I just had a privelged suburban childhood so i can't really relate to this trauma dump session, sorry
Honestly, the Drill sergeants felt like dealing with angry mom or dad. It wasn't horrible. Though those from the ... 'nicer homes'... we will say, did not adjust well at first
But I was able to learn how to solve differences with violence and loud noises
You mean theirs another way? My wife is right?
happy wife, happy life
lol I reckon we’re both a lot more civilized now
Yeah.... Growing up sucked.
Then again, I am on VA disability now. I'm not the most broken, but well...
We zug about our feelings here
But it's Tuesday
not a trauma dump, just talking abotu childhoods
also btw i didnt go to the office today
cause i had uhhh "issues getting there, will make up"
I wish I was able to take the day off, im so burnt out lol
My parents were strict-ish but hardly ever beat me
I'm giving a webinar today though
well i didnt PTO it, im remotely but i already finished my work for the day
If anyone wants to see a webinar about Fortinet Federal's networking security stack, I got you COVERED
listen
happy spouse, happy house
kms
but only if you work for fortinet
oh no no no I dont work for Fortinet
is curse stone idol good now?
thank god
I wish I could do plumbing remotely
They're a partner company of ours but I don't work for them
550% damage buff is kind of insane
I need the tea now tho
i keep seeing that trinket tuning post and the phrase "downtime is now live" makes me mad every time lol
I wouldn't imagine so during a channel skill
your technically not able to do anything else I would imagine
its a short one but can get you fucked
shorter than beacon i think
i dont remember how long beacon was
it was hastened
I mean, channel at teh wrong time, or just not have a defensive up at teh right time, and poof
group wipe and everyone blames you
I am entirely down to channel for a second to get big damage thanks to grieftorch
yeah both grief and beacon were 2s
It does mean I have to go to halls of atonement though.
which makes me very sad.
Man hearthstone sucks lately
i think idol will just replace sack of terror in our rankings in wowhead (as in swapped, but sack might drop lower, gotta see numbers)
Half the games this week fail to connect, the other half you DC every 5 turns
This is the only comment on Idol's wowhead page and it confounds me
lately?
i wonder where i can find some decent MDT routes for Pugs, so my smoothbrain doesnt have to figure out how to clear in the first days lol
or 32 tanks? 🤔
maybe he ran heroic? LOL
quazii has some good starting ones
oooh of course he has good ones, but are behind his patreon?
i don't know if running a heroic 32 times or running a locked out m0 32 times is more depressing
quazii, tactyks, and yoda all have videos on YT with routes
Imagine farming heroics for an adventurer track trinket 
i saw the tactyks routes and some are... uh, questionable imho
I like Tactyks personally, everyone else yaps way too much about irrelevant shit
I have some routes I’ll link them when I get home
yeah I use them as baseline and as I climb from 2-6 ill refine what i feel works from me, taking pieces from all of them
No promises they’re good lol
Dropped for me on ptr
Seemed solid but the channel very scary
What’s wrong with his routes?
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?*
yeah?
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
s3 or late s2
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
every pug seems to go right, but tachy recommends left
there's some skips you can make
Left is what I’ve seen and middle for lower keys?
left is just standard in s1 for high keys
Oh pre 2nd boss I’ve always gone left
most vault keys went right
Damn
left was just a thing later on
I always preferred left
Ah interesting. I just struggled coordinating kicks
Then Again I had shockwave, and the tripple hammer throw for extra stun
shield charge is also a stun
i mean you shouldnt worry about coordinating kicks
then I had an interupt
blame the dps, tale as old as time :v
you do your kicks, you disrupt, thats all you can do

Here you go @vague abyss
Nice, thank you
thanks slim!
Yeah I’m slowly learning to not take ownership of shit out of my hands
Hall of atonement left or right for the stairs?
You're welcome, everybody is getting a 125% route until I hit level 5 keys lmao
MINIMUM
im actually watching the Quazii video atm, so i learn the routes, specially for the new dungeon.
I barely remember Halls of Atonement though xD, thats going to be another problem key for me 🙁
I really like the new dung. Think I will try that one first
Halls is a lot nicer though, they just got rid of stigma of pride from final boss last night
Tacktyks tricks video is actually high quality
the pepega vault route for HoA was just go left then go back right
so warrior boutta go c-c-c-crazy there
I do like seeing how routes evolve
Floodgate first pull evolution was always interesting
dont know, in the warlock discord they are crying for last minute nerfs, my warrior destro got his tierbonus nerfed, killing a nice build that basically dropped Rain of Fire for just spamming Chaos Bolts for maximum priority damage
but, you know, fun detected so blizzard killed before it got live
warlocks can smd, much love from an Arms Warrior
warlocks are in the running for history's biggest downplayers
speaking of ara kara this is what I ran in PTR, lusting pull 1 and 8. Is my route cursed?

ty @frosty mango
I personally like breaking apart 9
Cause the kick thing
isnt that like, the standard weekly vault run?
I thought so but people on ptr on 16s said it was rough
i think one of the routing vids said that pull 1 was too much on ptr 12/14
But only pull 14 looks truly scary
I didnt have any trouble with 1 ever unless dps were dumb and didnt run to end
pull 14 gets split by the nature of the roaming packs tho dunnit?
14 i wasnt sure on yet, and pull 9 felt bad unless we had a dk
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
If it’s staggered it can be fine but multiple of the bats can be lethal
14 is most likely a combo
I also toyed with getting more % in the first area but every time I did that it just felt terrible
not being able to pull trash into bosses efficiently in ara for funnel is rough
Did they change engorged crawlers? I'm not seeing the self destruct
oh wow, that changes the first couple of pulls then
melee rejoice
I have done that and got to last boss with not enough or too much haha i never get it right
i kind of hate the % but i get it
TL;DR chain 8 after shrill dies, don't grab like 3 webcasters, break 14 apart (but that's p obvious)
have fun, roidberg. the route ain't bad
I did this route on PTR many times and 8 was never an issue bc we lust it but 9 was always sketchy
think I may try to split that somehow
Who's gonna risk opening their vaults first?
Cmon share some hot pics 😄
I didn’t log out in dorn I feel like that was a good play
Gonna give it a hot 30 minutes to see if any reddit posts come through about cloaks in vault
stuck on loading bar of doom tho
nah I'm sending it
i dont know... is not the first time a vault gets bugged and blizzard just shrugs
i KNOW my vault will have 3 belts and 3 capes
Is there a place to see what loot spec the delve trinkets are on?
What addon do you use for the routs?
last season items were doubling up sometimes.... waiting is the smart play, especially since we shouldnt grab items until after seeing what drops this week
the servers are fine, the game just thinks you need more time to internalize this tip
MDT
Mythic dungeon tools is the name of the addon
Oh yeah that
I'm on my 78th reread so far
thank u
I hope the delvers journey goes fast
PSA: Do not use your shrieking quartz until you're at stage 2 of the journey
or you just wasted it 
^
im following the quazii tips: open vault -> get new cape -> go delves -> spam m+
do we just do three delves to max out cape again
146th reread
actually i missed the "kill world boss" between the delves, but is probably going to be crap gear
is it making sense yet?
Fuck world boss indeed
Especially this one since it takes like 10 fuckin minutes lol
Fastest way is with a lvl 1 delve
Or do your 8-11s for gilded
i want to do delve 8s for vault anyway so it's fine
Prot is absolute king for delves
tbf it takes that long because people dont phase in in the interim lol
I think my brain is starting to jumble things up
yeah, delves as tank reminds me of all the torghast griping
"this is hard for you?"
Eh, yeah but all that for a shit chance at a piece of gear that you probably won't even be able to wear because it's cloth or some bullshit
Blizz literally came into this expansion going "how can we make world bosses worse than not being able to trade loot?"
i don't mind doing the world boss, it's chill as tank, counts as a world quest for the weekly, and gets something for (probably) one of my low effort alts
And were like "I know! Let's make it all warbound so you get shit for your alt you'll never play instead; it'll be hilarious!"
Everyone rocking Col until the tier set or is thane just as good? I saw nomes guide and it said col is slightly better.
this letter d has a disease, what the fuck
is just me or the game is stuck at the loading screen lol
col will do more aoe damage until tier
Col til 4pc, yes
nah, i am too
Think everyone is stuck there
but yknow. play what you want, it's not a big difference in lower content
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
laoding bar
sp. inc
i went and made some coffee and it still wasnt up
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

ok thanks!
“Fixed an issue where players could not load beyond 99.9999999%”
ok so. you need to keep your health above zero, i think. but i forget the other part
I CAN'T REMEMBER
I know when my CPU fans spin down after loading completes that it's not gonna let me lmao.
Maybe it was my health is zero and the other thing's health is above zero?
That sounds right
Maybe you need to get them above 100%
you pull trash into the bossfight???
lol my game just doesnt wanna load
Holy loading screen boss
As often as possible if I have funnel classes
Dh/feral/arcane
funnel classes?
THE FUNNEL
Classes that can turn damage on multiple targets into more damage in a priority target
hu okay
AKA the people who inevitably pad instead of doing the funnel!
i just wanna run through the dungeon
how important will that be till 10?
or is 10 baseline these days?
It is zero important
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
It’s not important until you’re struggling to meet timer due to dps requirements which is probably like 14
I'm the same way. 1st pull workshop is a prime example
gotta go fast
or do you get extra rewards for being ultra zoomie?
And I wouldn’t recommend doing it unless you’re in a group where everyone knows it’s happening
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
Yes it is really advanced stuff, to know dmg profiles shenanigans
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
Healing profile is more important but you get it quick to not take 3 target heal mobs unless you are confident in your healer
If the sound effects on my load screen are any indication, everyone in my guild is getting online except for me
or just die due to mental overload
below 10, just hold w, pull 1-2 packs at a time, and everything will be fine
If you pug or do "casual" M+ with friends and stuff, then safe routes are always the play imo
Agree
Tbh I will run the basic w key routes I ran on ptr until we start to struggle
This doesn't seem nearly as helpful
And then I will optimize
W Key for the win
hey at least I'm d/cing faster now
