so you'll have to farm m+

toxic pewter
#

Prob dumb do to anything lower than champ I suppose

#

Or even hero if I start doing higher keys sooner

torn gulch
#

ideally you'll want 6+

toxic pewter
#

Ok

torn gulch
#

hero is fine

#

level 6 keys are not that difficult

toxic pewter
#

Yah

#

For sure

torn gulch
#

of course the most efficient are 10's

#

but 10's week one might not be achievable by a significant amount of the community

toxic pewter
#

Ya I’m sort of taking it easy this season anyway myself

torn gulch
#

no rush season is long

toxic pewter
#

I usually get aotc first week pugging etc. I usually rush

torn gulch
#

no reason to rush

#

i always get my wow friends annoyed when I say season is long guys there is no rush

lusty grotto
torn gulch
#

so yes cap was blocked on runed and gilded last reset like in the last 2 seasons

#

it's disgusting how strong brand of ceaseless ire is

#

even on normal

blissful fable
#

hey guys what build we using with old tier

torn gulch
#

colossus

blissful fable
#

ok

#

any build link u can point me to"?

torn gulch

ty

rose flame
#

2P2P or 4P of new tier?

lusty grotto
#

4pc

rose flame
#

sorry, 4P of old tier

lusty grotto
#

you only swap 4pc for 4pc

#

no 2/2

#

2pc 2pc is banned

rose flame
#

Even with large ilevel upgrades?

lusty grotto
#

yes, you can sim if you want the numbers

torn gulch
#

even going from s2 myth to s3 myth is not enough to break old 4p

#

so you have to go 4p to 4p

mortal cypress
torn gulch
#

it means hammer

#

in my language

mortal cypress
#

Oh

#

What lqnguage

torn gulch
#

it's a play of homo sapiens

azure crag
#

mmmmm....sim is telling me that my old tier's ilvl is so dogwater, it's better to just equip some higher ilvl stuff, even with no tier bonus.

torn gulch
#

combined with my avatar it makes more sense

torn gulch
lusty grotto
#

if the sim is telling you that, then follow the sim

#

keep in mind that with s3 tier you will need more haste rating to run ITF

azure crag
lusty grotto
#

19k at a bare minimum, if you dont have that you will play heavy rep

torn gulch
azure crag
#

Man. On the one hand, it's nice to have all this gear I'm getting be actual upgrades.
But on the other hand, it just makes me realize how cooked my gear was in general

#

oh well

warm plinth
#

@lusty grotto Remember how I had no fucking haste all of S2? Wellllll

#

I got me some

neon elk
#

Leave some haste for rest of us please , have mercy

warm plinth
#

Oh it's not that high lul. Alchemical Chaos must've been on haste

#

the more accurate number

timid nacelle
#

Checked the guide but doesn't say. Are we breaking 4p for 2p/2p?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

4pc for 4pc

#

we're not going 2/2

timid nacelle
#

Brilliant. Thank you

vocal root
#

Hero track shoulders or hero track mast/vers shield?

#

If we should be waiting for 4pc, I’m feeling shield?

undone beacon
#

The biggest question right now, do i just send a shield craft or do i wait for vault

azure crag
#

Oh, cool
I got a two handed weapon drop in my delve.

As prot.
I even checked my loot spec, why did I get a two handed mace as prot

fluid widget
#

cause you should be crafting a shield

mighty valley
#

yeah - tier is gonna be the biggest upgrade you can get, i'd grab every piece you can

#

then down the road, you can slowly upgrade with catalyzed myth pieces

#

hero shield is completely replaceable by crafted

sterile orbit
#

streets feel hard to time

potent anvil
#

It's probably the hardest, imo. Timer is tight and its better if people know what's going on.

sullen yarrow
#

which build is the play without any tier set?

potent anvil
#

No season 2 tier, either?

sullen yarrow
#

yeah, sadly no tier set at all

potent anvil
#

I would say mountain thane, since you'll eventually want to play that with 4pc. Although, either works right now.

alpine fjord
#

Hey quick question, my alt prot has full 650ish s2 tier, got a few champ track drops at 681, are the stats worth it to replace and break the 2 n 4 set?

solid sun
#

We were just hanging out in a +2 streets and three of my buddies had never done it before. No real mistakes or wipes or anything just a chill run and as we were running to the last boss we noticed all of a sudden we had less than 6 minutes left lol

agile elbow
#

Is the Spell Reflect WA updated w/ audio ques?

sullen yarrow
#

i was using moutain thane for gearing my warrior (m0) i will keep it then, thanks

mighty turtle
#

is it best to craft a shield week 1 if your guild isnt planning on doing mythic week 1? or wait for vault? monkahmm

desert mural
#

is it worth it to choose a set piece from the vault to complete the 2p? i currently only have a 2p from last raid, but that would also replace it

potent anvil
cerulean tusk

ebon scaffold
#

Yeah my sims told me to break my 4pc from s2 with a hero track tier piece from s3. All my s2 stuff was 658ilvl

lament zealot
#

Sorry if this is asked or dumb, but is there anywhere to check what loot spec loot what delve trinkets?

desert mural
prime sphinx
#

If this is for vault opening u should go arms lootspec it lowers the loot pool increasing tier chance

#

Otherwise u can see on droptimizer

cerulean tusk
shut knoll
#

What are you guys doing for crafted gear?

sharp gale
#

Weapon.

prime sphinx
#

Likely only using the free hc crest from dimensus this week

#

But I will get mythic weapon + shield in raid surely

shut knoll
#

I was thinking shield and bracers

sharp gale
#

My bad I thought it was #fury

#

But yeah for prot it is shield then weapon

#

(If you don’t loot a weapon)

jagged verge
#

What if you get lucky and loot a main hand and get a shield from the vault?

shut knoll
#

Ahh gotcha, shield and weapon. I know as soon as I craft weapon ill prob get a weapon drop haha

sharp gale
sharp gale
#

You will have plenty of sparks to remake your gear when it will be more complete

shut knoll
#

Very true! I always get sus about crafting but forget how many we actually get

sharp gale
#

Every 2 weeks you will get 1 craft

#

So, you can have a shield now, next week, you open your vault, weapon = take = skip crafting the weapon ofc

lyric loom
#

so i got the tome trinket, are we using it for the armor and absorbn

shut knoll
#

Thank you for the advice Happy!

sharp gale
#

It was a big dps trinket, you can find a weakaura to tell you when you need to press it

novel temple
#

oh yeah, when do we want to drop season two 4p?

prime sphinx
#

when u get new 4p

#

unless ur running low ilvl old tier

sharp gale
#

Yes you want most likely 4p -> 4p, unless ilvl

#

And if your haste is too low you don’t want to break the set

#

Like above 18k is a minimum, because under you might need to switch the talent Into the Fray -> Heavy repercussion to be able to maintain shield block

#

(Which will be a heavier damage loss)

novel temple
#

well i;ve got like 645 ilvl old tier

#

just got a new chest from mythics

warm plinth
#

feelsgoodman

novel temple
#

plus if i win any gear in raid

sharp gale
warm plinth
#

oh cool it's only 60 to craft an item now

I wish we could name our crafts

#

How does the delver journey work if you do delves on multiple toons? Can you earn more if you do multiple?

lone current
#

you can only get credit from the weekly on one char, but you should be getting journey prog on every alt you're doing bountifuls with

#

although, i'm not 100% if they've put caps in to how much progress you can make each week

indigo lantern
#

Heyo, what to craft this week ? im not M raiding and have Hero track shield

lusty grotto
#

gilded shield

#

otherwise hold until you got 60 gilded crests for it

willow portal
#

should we switch to 2 piece once we get it or use 4 piece from s2?

lusty grotto
#

4pc for 4pc

#

unless if you have some doggy ass s2 tier

willow portal
#

nah all mythic

lusty grotto
#

yeah 4pc for 4pc

willow portal
#

ty

lusty grotto
#

fucking litemount doesnt work on dimensius btw

#

FYI

tepid sparrow
#

what about 655 s2 tier

lusty grotto
#

save yourself the trouble, bind your mount

#

dunno sim

tepid sparrow
#

as prot?

#

taht works?

lusty grotto
#

no, as shadow

#

we're in the prot channel

#

what do you think i mean

#

and of course it works

#

all our recommendations are simmed

#

our secondaries give both offensive and defensive value, so sims give you a good idea for both

#

the same applies to any tank

tepid sparrow
#

I have no idea why I thought running sims as prot gave errors

lusty grotto
#

except for shields (which should be ilvl > all) and the only 2 worthwhile defensive trinkets in the season (mud and cheat)

tepid sparrow
#

but thanks

lusty grotto
#

rip NA

#

oh its back

#

quick riparooni

prime sphinx
#

yeah kyveza achieve got removed even though killed it properly after, was instantly re-awared it on login tho cos i killed on diff char

i aint no snitch

#

anyway lets not talk about it

restive oak
#

lusty grotto
#

#

4pc is massive

restive oak

lusty grotto

#

plus you wouldnt go for them even if they were

errant wagon
#

2/8 done with heroic, likely to only get 1 more done with my guild this week.
I rolled this weapon..... should I just go craft a shield at this point? 🤔

nocturne spindle
#

time for 4 set boissssss

mighty valley
#

So it's all working out for you

errant wagon
mighty valley
#

I'm pretty slow so if I haven't seen one by the time I've got the gilded crests, I'm recrafting

fluid widget
#

Didn’t see any tier drop from raid today 🙁 hopefully heroic has better luck

narrow prawn
#

well

sick sentinel
#

is MT still the best hero talent?

narrow prawn
#

time to tank dimensius

#

hopefullu he's not a bitch

errant wagon
#

For crafting, is there any reason to not spend all 90 gilded for the max ilvl craft?

#

or is there some min-max thing to only use 60 and hold onto the 30

lusty grotto
#

there is no 90 price or the 30 more piece

#

only 60

errant wagon
#

doh! didn't even look just assumed lol

#

thanks

lusty grotto
#

the 90 thing was just for last season because ilvls went up

#

well the 30 more item

cunning tide
#

This shield even any good?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

never was, never will be

dim token
#

can someone explain this to me, why do jewelries have priority for crafting because they lack strength and armor?

vale escarp
#

You dont lose as much stats as for other pieces

lusty grotto
#

go shield first

#

then weapon, if you dont get any myth versions, which will replace both

#

and then do those

solid sun
#

We only raid 2 hours. Ended up going 6/8 and not touching the last two bosses

#

Great visuals in the raid

lusty grotto
#

dimensius looks pretty awesome

#

and yeah overall i agree

wooden spruce
#

we did 5/8 in almost 2 hours, had lots of fun and prot tanking feels good on raid so far, did +4 and it was also good

lusty grotto
#

we did a full normal clear split

#

and 1st one from heroic

#

gotta do next split tomorrow

wooden spruce
#

sadly i got no loot on the raid lol

restive oak
#

send weapon craft or wait for vault?

#

i like instant gratification

lusty grotto
#

lofty glen

No notes about it, I guess its shit

serene galleon
#

Would you recommend crafting gilded wep or shield this week, for a tank raid focus

lusty grotto
#

scroll up

serene galleon
#

Yep just did hahaha

#

Block value = shield first

#

Thanks

frigid valley
#

why is this game so fucking bad icant

lusty grotto
#

yeah apparently cloaks werent removed from ulduar's chest

lusty grotto
#

well heres another one

#

solid sun
#

Did a 7 AK this evening before everyone went to bed. Some of the homies are still kinda under geared so the bosses each took a year lol

#

Was concerned we might not time it but the good guys won. Keys free as heck except Streets

solid sun
#

Nope

lusty grotto
#

#

Not in vault and warrior tokens didn’t drop at all in raid

lusty grotto
#

damn

#

well at least you kill dimensius soon anyway so

#

free tokens

solid sun
#

I got a couple pieces I can catalyze but don’t see a point yet until I can make 4pc

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats the right call

#

Managed 6 heroic bosses in our 3 hours

#

Some of these fights gonna be scary on mythic to heal

#

The demon hunter boss was wild

warm plinth
#

Not bad for the first day huh

lusty grotto
#

not bad at all

warm plinth
#

Need to see what some folks' Halls routes look like. That dungeon feels so wrong to me now

frosty mango
#

Mine went pretty well

#

With the one I linked yesterday

lusty grotto
#

i havent touched keys today

#

busy getting dh ready for split

frosty mango
#

Though the one big pull after the first boss I did split bc I got spooked lol

warm plinth
#

Timed Eco, Prio, and Gambit on +10 and completed Halls on +10

frosty mango
#

We’re pushing tomorrow and aiming for all 12s

#

Don’t think we’re gonna get there but we’re gonna try

warm plinth
#

Nice!

#

I don't have anyone to push with unfortunately. Just been pugging with a friend all day

#

Beats doing it solo though even if it's just one more person

frosty mango
warm plinth
#

Don't judge me

frosty mango
#

Early pugging isn’t bad I find

#

Usually easy to find good players

warm plinth
#

I have not done much in the way of Dawnbreaker or Ara because I was not really around for S1

#

So I have no idea what I'm doing in there

frosty mango
#

The only dungeon I struggled with healing was last boss of eco dome bc no one did the mech

#

4m hps kmn

warm plinth
#

oof

frosty mango
#

I was surprised everything seemed quite easy compared to last season

lofty glen
lusty grotto
#

last season wasnt hard

#

first few weeks

#

youre just used to late season roid

warm plinth
frosty mango
#

I think bc turbo boost

lofty glen
lusty grotto
#

really

#

i felt it was so easy

frosty mango
#

Felt harder to me anyway

lusty grotto
#

but again i didnt heal

frosty mango
#

Healing specifically

#

Tanking is always the same imo

lofty glen
#

i have the feeling that i take the same dmg like last season.... (running sam gear on smae key lvl)

frosty mango
#

I only went up to 10 on war today and at no point did I ever feel in danger whatsoever

lusty grotto
#

that moment when you get portals in 3 of your 4 delves

warm plinth
#

I feel like that room is way worse than it was in SL

lusty grotto
#

and the underpin behind himn

lofty glen
rough egret
#

the one before last boss i guess

#

i tend to los him to left in next room and let the adds come

lofty glen
#

Played him where he is and thunder clap/roar mobs

#

Lust und last boss is scam so we lust this shit mob

warm plinth
#

So you are not clearing adds as priority? You just pick up the aggro ones as they spawn?

#

and focus miniboss otherwise

#

I've been trying to do it like we did in Shadowlands but there seems to be way more of the aggro ones than before

frosty mango
#

Have your group stand in the podium

#

You tank at bottom

#

All the adds have to funnel past you

#

And the group can spread w their circles

#

That’s how we did it and it was simple

warm plinth
#

Good to know, thanks

frosty mango
#

Also fwiw his wicked bolt reflects back very hard so you can gib him if you catch the right one

#

14-20m

#

Depending on key level

lofty glen
#

Just funnel the boss thats right

frosty mango
#

If your single target is good just melt the miniboss

#

Took the kiddo out to look at the meteors

#

No meteors

#

She was nonplussed

#

Now it’s sleep time

warm plinth
#

So do you get count for the 3 mobs in front of 1st boss? I see MDT has count on them but doesn't the boss kill them?

frosty mango
#

You can kill tgem

#

If you’re in combat when the boss hits 100 tho I think they all respawn

#

That’s how the ptr worked

On a scale from 1 to 10, how lucky am I?

True, eh

#

Hey all 🙂 do you recommend going into raid today to use our previous 4 piece set from LOU or should I use my new 2 set from mana forge?

lusty grotto
#

you replace s2 with 4pc

#

only

paper grove
#

so only when i have all 4 pc for manaforge?

#

because i have 2/4 now

lusty grotto
#

s2 4pc with s3 4pc

paper grove
#

ah yes im with you thank you!

#

use both yes

lusty grotto
#

no...

#

you replace s2 tier

#

only when you have 4 pieces of s3 tier

paper grove
#

ok thank you i picked you up wrong there

lusty grotto
#

how are you gonna wear both?

#

you only have 5 slots lol

bleak breach
#

Are sims for PWar bugged(

paper grove
#

from 1st set bonus

lusty grotto
#

#

you replace your existing 4pc from season 2

#

with ONLY 4pc from season 3

#

you cannot combo them, you will lose a lot

paper grove
#

bro i get that 😂

#

I can combo them is all im saying, but ill just stick with s2 4 piece

lusty grotto
#

ok

oh god dont ask that

#

xD

inner flume
#

Yes do it

weak tulip
#

Guys anyone know if i can take a chest tier piece out of vault ?

lofty glen
#

you guys think its worth farming taza for the bis items (shield and sword too)

#

or would you insta build shield? las season 1st myth in vault was a shield

jagged pier
#

u never craft season 1

lofty glen
#

so wait week 2?

jagged pier
#

i usually wait for week 3 honestly

lusty grotto
#

you can wait until next week if you will have myth items available

lofty glen
#

so farming hero track shield is worth

lime urchin
#

frens, mud + tome + hero head tier piece in da vault!

lusty grotto
lusty grotto
lofty glen
#

yes but its the best item to get higher

jagged pier
#

why would u take trinkets that have a farmable ilvl?

lime urchin
#

yes yes tier > all!

lofty glen
lusty grotto
#

thats just a waste of runed

terse flame
#

What ilvl are people clearing their +10s at?

jagged pier
#

now

so 684

lofty glen
lusty grotto
#

we have plenty of people here that did all their 10s already

#

no need to look at streamers

terse flame
#

Never played start of season before, always pop-in for a season in the middle of it or towards the end of it - hence the question. I suppose I will play my key and hope for good PUGs.

lusty grotto
#

yeah dont be afraid to push as far as you can

lofty glen
#

just go 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 10

#

if something dont work jump down a key and practice

Can I "not activate it" and do a regular M0 ?

lofty glen
#

yes

echo egret
#

I don't see how. It seems I'm forced to talk to Aldalil and activate it to even strat the dungeon

jagged pier
#

not gunna lie the hyperdrive mount is fucking pog

sharp merlin
#

would you take it or wait to try and snipe it on Hero?

jagged pier

i wouldnt take trinkets that are farmable at all

Is it normal for my shield to be breaking in dungeons WAY faster than anyother gear? I repaired before a 10 dawn, and died 1x in the dawn and my shield went red. I know for a fact i had repaired before going in but im wondering what is causing the duribility difference between shield/armor

Hey, just to be sure, do we change tier set when we get 2p + 2p, or do we wait for the new 4p ?

blazing shuttle
#

Fuck me as in: "Damn luck."

blazing shuttle
#

Crit/Haste chest? Yes please!

blazing shuttle
#

Do we catalyst only on myth pieces, or should we cata hero pieces in the meanwhile?

I know, it is stupid.

I realise this is a bit off topic, but I reckon you mob would have a fair bit of understanding on both sides:

Whats soloing as a dps like trying to do m+ pugs, compared with tanking them? I enjoy the easy access to groups but I'm a bit over tanking all the time and wanna pump big numbers

(note, probably as a pretty meta dps, not warrior sadly)

oh shit is that all!?

#

extra question, do we have a trinket that can rival tome this season? its gonna suck hard if im stuck using same ones as last season

prime sphinx
#

The tuning is definitely pretty easy

rough wyvern
#

Do you guys think there is anything at all to gather (in terms of meta) from the current tank leaderboards on raider.io? Lots of pallys and brews on the front page. Obviously it's incredibly early and is probably also influenced by what people are playing for raid.

prime sphinx
#

no

woeful bramble

hmm which build is the go to with MT, the one in here differs some from what i thought was the best with the massive execute slams

neon elk

Ngl streets feels like kinda overtuned compared the rest ( havent done eco yet)

quiet sentinel
#

what are people crafting rn, got my gilded and thinking a shield

neon elk

Probably shield is strongest craft but im personaly gona wait till next vault with crafts

im not raiding so wont be getting the shield from there

Also one hander and shield on first two bosses

Oh word

theres no real crit/haste shield in m+

#

So, WoWhead says go Colossus for raid until you get new tier, but top parses seem to be majority MT

trim delta
#

Yeah I feel like I'm missing something. Just simmed with season 2 tier, and it says it's a 0.7% dps loss to go MT. People in here were making it out to be a HUGE damage difference. Are the sims wrong or something?

#

And just saw warcraft logs. Like 60% of all top parses on Normal and Heroic are MT. What am I not understanding here, gamers?

prime sphinx
#

they were always almost the same in st

#

thane gets gapped hard in aoe

trim delta
#

Until new 4 set, right?

prime sphinx
#

ppl are probs just playing thane for practice

#

ye with old tier

grizzled nova
#

Brothers it's normal/hc, play whatever you want.

ocean iron

for m+ is everyone using whirling blades or sudden death

u use both

but if u have to choose its whirling blades no question

ive looted a 697 void pactstone, is that better then a 684 mud from last season?

I have a personal vendetta against any void pactstone so I would use mud

But sim it

any rough idea on how much ilvl increase is better then embelishment? i will sim but just direcitonally curious

red tree
#

They do completely different things

trim delta
#

You don't use a new spark every recraft right? I know it' s adumb question, just can't remember

red tree
#

You need a new spark to go from s2 to s3

odd dagger
#

yo guys should i play colosus when i have s2 set or should i switch to thane?

frosty wave
#

I've dropped a hero weapon, should I upgrade it 710 and do a 720 shield or 720 bracers ?

solid sun
#

Did you pick the weapon up after you dropped it

#

Good grief

frosty wave
#

I've looted sorry

solid sun
#

If you don’t raid mythic, getting a shield crafted with gilded is going to be a big uppie for you

frosty wave
#

Is weap/shield the first thing to aim ?

#

I mostly play M+

#

in raid I play dps

solid sun
#

Shield first. Then weapon

frosty wave
#

Ok

solid sun
#

Specifically for prot

frosty wave
#

so i'll wait for the 90 crests

#

will up weap and craft shield

magic moth
#

Is 2+2 set worth? Or have to wait 4?

trim delta
#

Pretty sure it's wait until you have new 4pc

magic moth
#

Damn

ocean smelt
#

The best option is S2 4P Colossus then S3 4P Thane

But if you wanna play Thane right now then you are fine going for 2+2

trim delta
#

REALLY? Oh boyyy

magic moth
#

How much dps is 2 piece thane?

ocean smelt
#

Not much tbh but the S2 4P for Thane isn't that big of a loss, much more impactful for Colossus

#

The fact that you can go 2+2 is more because of that than because of the S3 2P being great

#

Guess it would also depend on how much ilvl you are gaining on those 2 pieces

trim delta
#

Yeah I'll worry about min max when it's mythic prog. Right now, I'll take a 7% dps loss on aoe to play MT now. I just prefer it over colossus

rough egret
#

Everything is playable 🙂

trim delta
#

Playable, but not everything is balanced like that. For instance, if you wanted to play Elune's Chosen for Guardian Druid in raid, you're catching a 20-25% damage loss. If it was like that for warrior, I couldn't justify that to myself

#

People were making it seem like it was that big of a damage loss for warrior too, between colossus and MT

sharp gale
#

I will not talk about balance when our 4p is 40% dps

trim delta
lusty grotto
#

its just that that gap is shorter due to the introduction of aoe execute

#

people in here might not know what they are talking about

#

thane is playable

#

and also you dont go 2p 2p

#

its either 4pc or 4pc

trim delta
#

Ok so In aoe, we're talking a 20-25% gap, but in single target they're close?

lusty grotto
#

no, colossus is still ahead on both without 4pc

#

it was around a 19% loss before the talent rework

#

we just couldnt be bothered to sim for the talent changes, given that we'll swap to thane at 4pc anyway

trim delta
#

Yes, but by how much is the point we're discussing. I simmed myself, and it's like 0.7% loss on single target, and up to a 7% loss in pure aoe

grizzled nova
lusty grotto
#

right

trim delta
lusty grotto
#

the window in we'll be at s2 4pc is so short

#

its just what a couple of weeks at worst?

rough egret
#

3 weeks, 4 with bad luck

#

I simmed col/thane yesterday on my char it was 5% loss in AoE, so I’m doing my keys as thane

#

Still worth syincing Avatar and Demo Shout every time as MT right? Not just a colossus thing?

lusty grotto

no

#

you send demo shout when its up

grizzled nova
#

Both on CD, unless you need demo shout to not die to something.

lusty grotto

OH true

How do i prioritize execute phase in thane during avatar? I literally never have GCD to use execute

grizzled nova

pathing last stand to tl makes my brain itch

#

just swap the positions blizzard please there's like 5 other talents I'd rather have than ls

lusty grotto
#

you just replace TC prio

#

TB > SS > Execute

#

if your next SS is gonna cap you, send an execute

#

you play it like colossus

which is why

its actually helpful to play colossus

for once instead of the playstyle that we've played for 4 straight expansions

In the early season its best to get as much power out of your crests as you can

small quail

It’ll start with colossus and go for them.

But I don’t think I have issues fundamentally. When in tanking I dint think. I just put up SB, IP, and zug zug until either falls off

#

There

lusty grotto
#

ip at 70 rage

#

prio outburst on slam (unless if thane where you do it on TB)

#

outburst management is the most common dps loss that we see here

small quail
#

Only at 70 rage? Do you stack it to 100?

Also, I’m seeing a lot of talk about whirling blades over ravager in that the play now?

lusty grotto

IP's status doesnt matter, its a rage dump

you just send it at 70+ rage

just burrito yourself

grizzled nova
#

Whirling is 20s of uptime per minute.

#

Whirling is 120 more rage per minute.

#

The damage of ravager was always negligible, losing control of when it is cast is functionally unimportant, it's just more rage, even if it is not always rng'd into optimal times.
