hmm Im trying to build a route for ara kara, but seems that without doing multiple lanes, I do not end up with 100%

Just another thing for people to worry about and it's like bro it's 1% stat AT BEST

Remove keystone.guru and I agree with Nim

Is keystone.guru bad?!

lusty grotto
#

i like threechest more too for sure

warm plinth

It's not bad as in you shouldn't use it

undone beacon
warm plinth

It's bad as in It's awkward and gross

warm plinth

And threechest is better because it's not awkward and gross

#

Larger question on routes: How do people use these routes while you're in the dungeon? MDT is a huge window. Are you pulling it up while you're doing your rotation? What's happening?

torpid dome
#

hoped it was a hyperlink

slender bison
#

Keystoneguru should be banned after the "x2 knights" routes from last season

#

"PUG friendly 2-14"

warm plinth
plush tendon
warm plinth
#

But after a while you just know what to pull

native ember
#

anyone got a good eco dome route the place is a joke but my counts always fucked in the end

lean aurora
warm plinth
#

For me it's more that I have trouble seeing the packs on 2d and mentally translating that to 3d

native ember
#

^^^^ same shit im like wait is it that pack or this one

warm plinth
#

So I just have the confusing part where I can see it the first few times and then I'm good

undone beacon
#

had that issue a lot at first in ecodome

torpid dome
lean aurora
#

Ecodome for sure is a problem for me.

#

translating what I'm seeing on the map to the actual pulls.

warm plinth
native ember
#

its always the last section after 2nd boss im like tryna count the mobs based on the route just to be sure its that pack then i get to boss and im short im like wtf???

solid cargo
#

So if I just can't get rid of all my TB stacks do I just send Avatar anyway or should I hold off to get rid of existing stacks.

plush tendon
#

working fine so far

#

similar idea, just less in last area

lean aurora
#

Also - if you have tank anxiety like I do - Follower Dungeons aren't horrible for practicing routes. Everything melts, but the mobs are all there.

warm plinth
#

Are they? Last season when I did normal priory, the patrol by boss 1 was mysteriously not there

solid cargo
lean aurora

#

word ima try that out ive ran the place like 3 times got my teleport havent been back cause we have no loot in there couple more ill have the route down

#

creepers are really good

#

they do jack all

warm plinth
#

Well tbf, that's the only thing I've noticed like that. Usually you're right and everything is there

plush tendon
#

and are good %

warm plinth
#

But the priory patrol is mysteriously not

plush tendon
#

you could pull him first

warm plinth
#

Or again, wasn't last season. Ive had no reason to go to normal this season

#

So can't confirm

plush tendon
#

but it hasnt felt awk for me yet

plush tendon
#

so its hard to figure out what pulls are illegal

#

because people dont die

undone beacon
#

just pull 1 pack at a time every pull, ez

warm plinth
#

Speaking of ecodome, do you guys actually give much of a fuck about the thingamabobs

Sorry the word left me as I was typing

haha boob

warm plinth
#

The 10% haste things

undone beacon
#

oh you said bob

#

damn

warm plinth
#

They seem like a distraction more than an actual useful thing

plush tendon
#

I grab em

#

its free stat

#

and prob worth the handful of seconds to get

slender bison
undone beacon
#

10% haste for 30 secs aint bad, if everyone clicks the channel is like 2 seconds

warm plinth
#

Yeah but then you have the time to gather the pull and idk. I mean if we kill the trash anyway then sure I click it but yeah

#

Just feels like a weird awkward thing to me

slender bison
#

It's worthless to get buff during the last two packs as most dps will kick or strafe or move around. Best to use last pillar with boss

warm plinth
#

I guess I should just be glad they're not stronger or you'd have to inevitably do dumb shit to optimize them

so pumped for my vault this week

i need hero boots and a ring gonna try to farm that shit out today

solid cargo
#

"How do I group this all up" sort of practice

plush tendon
#

I need some threat

solid cargo
#

Oh yea. That's what I meant by "low key" lol

torpid dome
#

`this is basically what we do at eco'dome, at 2nd boss we do a near full clear, since lots of count and easy to combine packs

slender bison
plush tendon
#

yea, pull 16 is straight illegal

torpid dome
#

ofc when it gets higher, adjust pulls accordingly

#

yeah 15 and 16 ive marked wrong just now on the map

native ember
#

damn u pull everything by 2nd boss pull 16 def gonna wipe my group LMAO

slender bison
#

Then why share this map lmao

torpid dome
slender bison
#

It's like I'm sharing a X2 knight pack pull priory and say "adjust accordingly" lmao

torpid dome

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

plush tendon
#

I did see Yoda do a cool pull at the start of Eco

#

he did this with lust

#

then straight into boss

#

not sure if its better

solid cargo
#

Requires coordination to get the gorge fuckers into the pack yea?

plush tendon
#

there are LoS stuff

#

but I think doing something like this aint for your weekly route; more for a coordinated group trying to get some IO drip

#

like this pull is pretty standard in a Priory weekly... but in any IO key, this is fucking illegal

solid cargo
#

Yea i take what I see people like Yoda do with a grain of salt. Probably won't work great with just random pugs

plush tendon
#

dem knights are feedback

solid cargo
#

Even good random pics

spare mantle
#

Knights arent that bad anymore, this is definitely playable in a high key

ocean smelt
native ember
#

bro i was doing that pull every single priory i ran farming trinket

native ember
#

10+

plush tendon
#

knights were murdering in the 15 we tried

torpid dome
#

yeah ive done it a lot as well last week and overall it went decent

spare mantle
lusty grotto
#

that pull is done in literally any key

#

even 17s

slender bison
plush tendon
#

people skip that shit

lusty grotto
#

maybe not in sub 10s but yea

slender bison
#

This is called the patrolless route

lusty grotto
#

thats just one knight augusto

slender bison
#

I did it once in pug, but failed it many times. Because its easy to die to 3 packs of casters without VDH. Disrupt Shout is limited

plush tendon
#

One knight still trucks

lusty grotto
#

idk the top 10 has the pull

#

just check

#

they aint skipping him

solid cargo
#

Could be a gear or comp issue? Idk. I haven't gotten that high yet

spare mantle
#

Knights got heavily nerfed this season

plush tendon
#

I have, and Ive done it

slender bison
lusty grotto
#

just freedom the clap chatting

spare mantle
#

Why would that brick the key? Just heal between them, they never sync

slender bison
#

Or bad luck pot shots on a clothie

spare mantle
#

Also press ur defensive abilities

frosty mango
frail stirrup
#

Anyone have good reccomend for targeting addon? action targeting annoying when going for caster intterupt or pulling 10+ mobs and can't click target a caster

frosty mango
#

You mean like nameplates?

#

Plater

solid cargo
#

Mouse over macro for interrupting?

frosty mango
#

Both jundies and qazzi have good baseline plater profiles that are decent for tanks

frosty mango
solid cargo
#

I use jundies. It's great

frosty mango
#

Knight didn’t die fast enough

native ember
#

yea jundies is nice honestly if u know nothing about the key shit tells you whats important

#

but im a tank so i have to do my homework okayge

#

or get cussed out and told im a bad tank had the worst db of my life yesterday pally and arcane mage pulling shit on 2nd lieutenant telling me i need to back up im like how about u aim ur fucking divine storm and shit into the building instead of into the pat

lusty grotto
#

no prio targetting this season is pretty normal because its week 2

#

it'll get better

native ember
#

got the ring drop gave a heart and peaced tf out

lusty grotto
#

and in vault 10s, i mean

#

obviously it gets better the higher the key but yes

#

goes without saying people should know about it by now since its the 2nd season in a row for that particular dungeon but what can you do

solid cargo
#

Dps are all just zug zug fury warriors in disguise

lusty grotto

its funny on gambit first pull when the giant lives forever

you know exactly how the key will go

is there a point going mountain thane if you only have 2 set? or just wait for 4

sure

#

wait for 4pc

but you can go for it if you wanna get used to it

near ermine

ok cool thanks, getting loot shafted

its just lower throughput in keys than colossus

Yea prot eternally feels the same in keys.

We spoke of thane vs. Col earlier, don't u miss the knockup from shockwave in thane? I guess in an organized group it's w/e?

native ember
#

them not giving a catalyst charge every week is legit criminal

quick spruce
#

Should I stop all haste on gear at 21k?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

you stop when your SB doesnt have gaps w/ ITF

#

at under 20k-ish you just play heavy repercussions

solid cargo
#

I wish that shit wasn't a choice node

#

Losing itf feels like shit

lusty grotto
#

i dont agree

#

SB uptime is important

#

so you should be able to manage it without the required haste

native ember
#

those extra points next expac should make things a bit spicy

solid cargo
#

Well yes.

But not having the haste after getting used to it makes things feel slow even if you need it for sb uptime

lusty grotto
#

there's a gearing process

plush tendon
#

I highly doubt people will use those points for anything but the apex talents

we prio ilvl over stats

if HR wasnt a thing, we would be fucked

forced to play bolster or some shit

#

what have prot war lost over the years

sharp gale
#

Spell block as apex point, just to joke on us keks

I feel like we have kept most of the cool stuff from the last 3-4 expansions

#

bro that would be hilarious

solid cargo
#

Shattering throw?

#

Og version

plush tendon
#

I also dont know if we need another dps cd

#

with Rav procs, shield charge, DRoar/Spear

#

that feels good

solid cargo
#

They said apex talents would modify existing abilities to alter the style of play.

plush tendon
#

yea, I need a baseline as to what they are thinking

solid cargo
#

So probably just make Ss cleave or some shit like it's SOTR

plush tendon
#

the one for the new DH spec looked strong, but a bit meh

#

in terms of coolness

solid cargo
#

Reduce cd on heroic leap. Give it charges. Heroic leap generates an earthquake.

#

Boom. Coolness

#

that rav we use now has fucked me a couple times when i heroic throw to pull shit ravager staying there has pulled a couple pats ngl

plush tendon
#

"For the Devourer Demon Hunter, the first point of this node is Collapsing Star always crits, the 2nd and 3rd increases your Void and Cosmic damage and the 4th node gives you scaling on your crit damage."

#

like, its a bit bland

solid cargo
#

In fairness it's a brand new spec so all the neat shit may have just been baked into it already

#

They've probably been working on it before apex talents

plush tendon
#

or theyve been working on it with apex talents in mind?

#

idk, hard to say

#

will be interested to see what they are thinking

#

we also get 3 more points in class tree yea?

#

that could go hard

solid cargo
#

Yea. Could be big for warriors considering the capstone situations

plush tendon
#

if it lets me take intervene again

#

ill be happy

#

I miss that button

shit should be baseline imo

can someone confirm if you get more loot from doing higher keys?

undone beacon
#

all loot should just be tradable

plush tendon
#

I remember that used to be a thing

plush tendon
native ember
#

damn

solid cargo
#

So people couldn't do m+ splits i think

plush tendon
solid cargo
#

Which is silly because that impacts like no one but I think it's a hold over from when all loot was personal loot

plush tendon
#

well, M+ is still personal

#

I just think its dumb

I thought it was to combat an issue they said existed where people felt pressured to trade gear to others

plush tendon
#

Also, can we talk about how awesome the abandon system is

solid sun
#

Yeah it doesn’t matter to me what other people want but not everyone is built like that ig

plush tendon
#

its actually great

#

if we brick a key, we just get a free TP out

#

dont need to reset the dungeon or walk out or anything

#

big fan

#

I also saw my first person in LFG with the leaver debuff

solid sun
#

Oh I thought it was just used to send abandon votes as often as possible after a single wipe in a timeable key or for votes to be declined so healer could then stand there and refuse to play effectively holding you hostage

rough egret
#

How long does the leaver buff stays?

plush tendon
#

naw, thats just for reddit

undone beacon
#

Abandon has been great so far in my experience

rough egret
#

Or you cann somehow redo your reputation by finishing keys?

sterile orbit
#

the best part is when your doing a 13 priory wipe on the first pull and have to wait 5 minutes until you can abandon the key and no one is talking in party chat

plush tendon
#

but you have to do X number of keys without leaving

frosty mango
#

you can just reset

#

and it will auto abandon

solid sun
#

and everyone gets a leaver penalty

plush tendon
#

I think what hes getting at is that you wipe, 4 people still want to keep going but 1 person is being a dick

frosty mango
plush tendon
#

so that 1 person sabatgoes

#

like in league

solid sun
#

I’m just memeing

plush tendon
#

I think people have also said that sometimes people will post a key for a certain level, get there and then slot their own key in at a lower level

#

so you got jebaited

native ember
#

had someone do that they would just die and afk

plush tendon

but, quite frankly, if that happened to me

#

I'd just pull like a monkey

its felt fine on Prot War

my BDK does not like it

This raid has better items than last tier

imo

Yeah but they don’t drop

well some items

And if they do they won’t be for me

the trinkets are fucking busted and those boots have to be op as shit

I got ire heroic and its 8-10% my overall dps constantly

ayo friends need some advice -- I already have a hero track shield. Should I save my 720 gilded for weapon + bracers writhing, or should I always send a 720 shield in all circumstances?

plush tendon
dense cradle
#

we chain get belts

#

on hc

x3 on one kill

plush tendon
#

getting those two guys near garg is a bit of a pain in pull 9, but my DK friend knows to grip when he can

karmic stream
#

Aye thats the one

solid sun
#

That is a lot of anklebiters

plush tendon
#

IDK, once we get to a higher key if Im allowed to pull triple reaver though....

#

we did get 3 screams on a normal kill

#

that was nice

plush tendon
karmic stream
#

Healing debuff will.be hard but we will have better gear too

plush tendon
#

it doesnt seem to do much to Prot War

#

like loyal beasts; I told my group to not kick that

and just focus on bolts

karmic stream

plush tendon

having a unlucky bolt+hunter shot on a dps is just death

im praying i get a tome in vault and im sending vaults with arms spec call it a season

and on 3rd boss I name my route "dont interrupt 3rd boss"

plush tendon
karmic stream
#

True, cant pull too many hunters at once, im sad how squishy dps are, weakness

solid cargo
#

Oh. So yea. We're chilling

plush tendon
#

and, based on number of casters you have I feel like interrupts are better spent on keeping dps alive

karmic stream
plush tendon
#

then reducing tank melee damage

solid sun
#

The third boss of hoa is my favorite

plush tendon
#

loyal beasts used to be super deadly on tanks

#

theyve been nerfed

One of my dps friends starts interrupting if I get too close to them on the meters

In shadowlands they one tap u

I have an ignore pain question

I've been doing keys on prot warrior, but I don't think I understand this ability. It reduces 50% of the damage you take, and then you just take the other 50%?

So a 100k hit, 50k is ignored, and 50k is taken?

plush tendon
#

someone in my guild thought Challenging Shout CD was reduced by AM

#

and I was like 'I wish'

native ember
#

fucking know that ^^

karmic stream
#

They need to lower cd to one minute

plush tendon
#

naw, 1:30 is fine and fair in the current state of the game

lusty grotto
#

anything remaining after wall/dstance/SR (if magic)/demo shout/block/parry/dodge and after full absorbs is reduced by 50% up to the shield amount

plush tendon
#

but every tank should have a tool close to or similar to it

lusty grotto
#

dont think too much about it Lassitude

plush tendon
#

right now its like Prot Pal, VDH, Prot War that have it and can take it easily

karmic stream
#

I dont like it, we have least utility of all tanks

lusty grotto
#

just press it at 70+ rage

orchid narwhal
#

Idk I just cannot survive in my keys, prot paladin feels tankier somehow

plush tendon
#

I think Prot Paladin is made of paper

orchid narwhal
#

I've finished my 14s on prot paladin

lusty grotto
#

IP is not WoG

orchid narwhal
#

and I cannnot finish my 10 priory on prot warrior somehow

lusty grotto
#

keep SB up

orchid narwhal
#

Yeah I have 100% uptime on sb, but it just doesn't matter, I cannot do the same pulls as my other tanks '

sharp gale
#

Idk when I tank 10s my hp don’t move at all whatever I do

orchid narwhal
#

Like 90% of the time I feel invincible, then 10% of the time, am I just at the mercy of my healer, but surely not

karmic stream
plush tendon
#

to figure out why you are dying, we prob will need to see a log or something

orchid narwhal
#

I'll do a key and log it for you right now

lusty grotto
#

someone might have logged a run for you

#

search up your character

orchid narwhal

I already checked sadly

I usually run logs myself, but turned off raiderio for whatever reason yesterday

plush tendon

right trash feels easier

but the fire lady on boss is cancer

plush tendon

though the judgement person does hurt

karmic stream
#

Fireball just one taps

karmic stream
#

I didnt go high on priory yet, only 12 or 13, dont like it there too much

plush tendon
#

yea, feels like a easier problem to solve then trying to deal with firestorm and interrupts

karmic stream
#

I need a rsham main to baby me

plush tendon
#

this is how I want to pull Priory; though we prob wont get to try a 16 of this key till the following reset

with labor day

its been good so far

but Ret is eyeing swapping to Havoc for later down the road

plush tendon
sterile orbit
#

oh okay

plush tendon
#

I aint pulling all three packs at once, but once the second left side comes down, the other pack should be close to dead

lusty grotto
#

left side is for pansies

plush tendon
#

or at least greatly reduced

plush tendon
#

ST boss damage is a bit lacking

#

but it can do dps

#

and ret util is still very nice in dungeons

lusty grotto
#

and freedom is always good for clap

deft mortar
#

5 more ilvls and 30M hp

lusty grotto

additional to the regular sacs, etc

deft mortar

I dont think I will achieve 35M, though

plush tendon
#

but I didnt play season 2

lusty grotto

its not

#

right side is standard

plush tendon

and raiderio routes are all over the place

lusty grotto

thats an s2 route

doable but still

The fire dude on boss feels so bad

Im not a believer in the right side

Yall have a resource showing the meta routes?

Honestly the only part of M+ I dont like is staying updated on routes

the first few weeks are fun to figure stuff out

I only inv spri to pi me so i outdps the pugs

anyone saying

#

right is not standard

has not run priory on more than like a 10-11

because I promise you if you go left on like a 14-15

you are dying

lusty grotto
deft mortar

I go left on priory

Stomped 12

lusty grotto

right is not standard?

fucking clown

deft mortar

I always go left

frosty mango

ok thats a 12

go left on a high key

see how quickly you die on the first boss

karmic stream
#

Ah u r doing 17's sorry my bad pro tank lmao

deft mortar
#

(I have 28M unbuffed hp)

frosty mango
#

the route is irrelevant on lower level keys because the mechanics largely dont matter

#

they dont do enough damage to matter

deft mortar
#

Aint nothing killing me in this game

#

But my dps..

#

They die

karmic stream

Rat thinks what 0.01% of top playes r doing is standard šŸ’€

free real estate on this guy's mind

no I think what 80% of the playerbase is doing is standard

karmic stream

šŸ•ā€šŸ¦ŗ

frosty mango

and I think what is easier is better

Its easier for me as a tank but harder for pugs

Do yall not pull all lightspawns etc. straiggt into the priest

we went left on a 14

I was doing 4m hps sustained on first boss

Prioiry right side is way better than left side. No issues at all

frosty mango

and the leap would almost kill someone every time on the overlap

solid cargo
#

Just spamming IP lol

plush tendon
#

I think right is easier to pull, but having fire lady on boss is just so much worse

deft mortar
#

Nah he aint doing 4M HPS as a prot warr

plush tendon
#

really the only reason we prefer left

deft mortar
#

Or sustaining for long

high latch

Looking at r.io heatmap for this reset it seems ~63% of runs do left side, but that's all key levels

lusty grotto

it really isnt

Yes it’s the leap + AoE pulse that is killing left

frosty mango

well I was healing so

augusto you got a team

Why just dance

its literally not harder at all

yeah hold on

I really can't wait for everyone to catch up and then they start going left and getting blasted

plush tendon

but from us playing for 5 days, we liked left

deft mortar
#

I will try right and see how it goes

#

Never did right act

#

Priory ez dung tho

frosty mango
#

its largely the same and like I said on lower level keys it really doesnt matter, go whichever side you want

ocean smelt
#

Like literally this afternoon on Twitter I saw casuals complaining about "Tanks doing MDI routes" because they were going to the bomb boss before Big Mom in Floodgate and you think normies knows what the right side of priory looks like? šŸ˜‚

karmic stream
#

I like the left too but its just higher dmg output then right, no point in going left if u have coordinated interupts

deft mortar
#

I wanna do some 13s soon but dps becomes an issue

sharp gale
frosty mango
#

but if you try to go left on a push key you will 99%% get blasted and brick

Bros in my team be doing 3M ST in Flood 13 and then dont pop CDs for 3rd boss trash pack aoe

dense remnant
deft mortar
#

😭

high latch

The stats are interesting. Across all keys, 63% go left, but for 16 and higher 93% go right.

deft mortar
#

And then blame my route (its standard 2nd boss first route)

lusty grotto
#

opinions are like assholes

just trying to come up with some easy solution that lets me do what i want on forgeweaver on pull while keeping the tank assignments the same ^^

deft mortar
#

I did the math, I can tank dimensios mythic tank swapper without CDs

dense remnant
#

tank swapper isnt the one that hurts on dimensius, even on mythic, right?

#

its the autos?

#

or did they giga buff the tank buster on mythic comparatively?

deft mortar
#

Dont it hit 30m phy + 17m cosmic

#

30m physical is I sleep for warrs

dense remnant
#

heroic dimensius autos for 32mil

#

guess im not playing a war atm tho

deft mortar
#

Rly? Oh well I still sleep

#

Thats like 5-7M post mitigation

dense remnant
#

32 mil physical + like 1-2mil shadow per auto on heroic dimensius p1 ^^

deft mortar
#

I sleep

#

(28M unbuffed hp btw)

dense remnant
#

it was funny to realize on doing it the first time, that the autos every ~2s hit for pretty much the same as the "tank buster"

#

(to a brew)

deft mortar
#

Ohh a brew, yeah, thats a dps spec

#

(I am a shield supremacist)

#

BDKs are healers not tanks fr

#

Question: can a hunter pet taunt a boss before a tank buster?

dense remnant
#

played prot war in S2 the first tier i was prog tanking, wanted to try something new for this tier and im liking it so far even tho im far from as comfy as on prot war

lusty grotto

melees for 9 mil

21k for comfort, youll still have gaps up to 25kish

no it doesnt like

just moves the health bar actually

frosty mango

theres not much difference between 28m health and 50m health

I will keep hp maxxing nevertheless

because the majority of damage will kill you regardless without mit

and seeing how long you live

bigger weapon, better trinkets, etc

very broad question

Anyone else having issues with Loom’ithar tanking? Lining up the beams seems super awkward since you can’t see behind you from an up top view, and the hit box seems oddly small for a boss that size.

lusty grotto

the hitbox IS small

#

that's a common complaint from every single melee

#

but the aiming is just normal like the gambit dragon

I feel like beam wouldn’t be as weird with a normal size hit box. I hate rotating all over with the camera to see the spinner things coming in I need to hit.

you can go for it

its just lower damage in keys until you get 4pc

play fury thane and tell me how strong is execute

execute is strong enough that it overtakes in priority at execute range
