#

I have crafted shield / weap

#

probably if I get myth tome + myth weap and shield in vault I'll probably go for the tome still anyways

restive oak
#

well yeah

torpid dome
#

but it depens on your options

#

if you already have heroic tome

#

and you get myth shield + tome in vault

#

I'd go for the shield

restive oak
#

i have brand and every other good dungeon option besides tome on heroic at least

torpid dome
#

but first thing's first, see what' the actual options are lmao

viscid lantern
#

what to craft after shield and weapon? Also which embelishments? Acendance or Stats above 80%?

jagged pier
#

yes

torpid dome
#

depends, what are you looking to get from the vault

#

as dps sspec you cant get a 6/6 myth track shield

#

brand is bis yeah, and behind tank spec loot

rough egret
#

Hero to Myth track is 1% dps

#

on Brand

torpid dome
#

what other gear would you look for to roll dps spec vault btw @limber arrow

#

we be using tome/brand anyways as BIS combination

prisma nexus
#

i think nothing change for us?

wispy moth
#

Yup

torpid dome
#

another week without class tuning ?! blast blast

jagged pier
#

i dont think they have accounced it yet

#

usually is patch day

#

maybe we get 1 more week shruge

rough egret
torpid dome
#

But it will be difficult I think, if they nerf the damage, warrior might not be in a great spot anymore when compared to other tank specs

tropic star
#

when do i got mountain when collossous? what are the indicators for m+ ?

ionic nimbus
#

Warrior is not that extraordinary in overall dmg

#

Monk is on the same level and ppal not that far away

#

Dmg is just insane if you compare us with old set guys

jagged pier
#

yer blizz dont care about m+ we are ahead in raid

#

we get nerfed because of that

pallid quiver
#

evil blizzard strikes; we get buffed instead

jagged pier
tropic star
#

isnt col a lot more tanky?

jagged pier
#

no

pallid quiver
#

It has a different profile for tankiness

jagged pier
#

weakier this season for sure

pallid quiver
#

Due to having Immovable Object, it can leverage some extra burst uptime of Shield Wall from Avatar uses

this comes at the cost of less IP casts and less cooldown cycling, however

#

They're both fine tank-wise, though, since everything in regard to tankiness always falls heavily into "It depends" tier if you're not a DPS or Healer

#

since there's a shit ton going on that makes you strong defensively as a tank

tropic star
#

did some1 encounter that bug ? 1st boss gambit

#

no rune

#

3/4 runes where there last one was just no appearing

sharp merlin
#

first attempt at 14+ Eco, my god it was sweatin' towards the end ahahah

blazing ridge
#

Besides Sentinel Pulls I find Eco to be fairly easy

#

Just a lot of annoying mobs that jump around all the time

lunar flare
#

It’s just such a miserable mechanic imo

#

Hehe now I’m far away :)))))

#

Come and get me while I freecast on your party :))))

wispy moth
#

Yeah packs before 2nd boss are truly annoying

#

But overall the key is pretty easy

#

Did in 13 full pug, didn't took that much to do, compared with other 13

spring mist
#

Guys i want to pick up prot tanking as my alt, seeing that the warrior grunts nonstop which is the best race for sound and mog reason to play warrior
Im eyeing worgen for this

I didn't mind the intake

drifting grail
#

Dwarf tank only bleed dispell op

strong forum
#

Dwarf

sharp merlin
#

was more worried about time left, I still haven't got a feel for tanking

strong forum
#

Cuz dwarf are the manliest

#

Coolest

#

And overall awesome

sharp merlin
#

You can turn down the grunting and yelling btw

ionic nimbus
#

Nightelf to press racial to get your top dps a facial

I love my Earthen 🤷‍♂️ never nee dto bring food

Earthen are just vegan dwarves

Tauren is bis if you don't want to see what you're doing

Bleed, you can scream at your healer 😛

spring mist
#

I currently have it on worgen and pressing demo and roar just sounds so peak

blazing ridge
#

Worgen Huh

spring mist
#

I mean if i just do 10s it wont matter no? Only when trying to push hard stoneform would matter?

blazing ridge
#

honestly It wont matter at a 18

#

or maybe even later

ionic nimbus
#

10s can be done almost naked

blazing ridge
#

Just play what u want

spring mist
#

Gnome it is

lunar flare
#

Vulpera warrior also a solid choice

lofty glen
#

What is the best i could get in vault from m+? Have all on hero track and crafted shield and sword

fervent thorn

Or something like a myth helm with a socket or tertiary

# mortal cypress What do you mean by this?

In shadowland’s dungeon “de other side” there was a section that had water running through it and all the mini races would get swim animation when running through it

mortal cypress
#

got a dwarf just for the racial though now

sharp merlin
#

What % do I need on Halls before 2nd boss?

jagged pier
#

82.82%

sharp merlin
#

ty ❤️

#

not .81?

#

shame peepoHappy

vast epoch
#

He is not even joking with the .82 haha

sharp merlin
#

I know

vast epoch
#

You can calculate else easily by choosing only the mobs after second boss to finish

remote tusk
#

Can they fix this "gate" after 2nd Ara-Kara boss being too small for certain mounts. peepo

torpid dome
#

They probably can

#

they probably won't

#

nose for trouble is good my man

strong forum
#

Nose for trouble goated

#

And the on-use is also amazing

#

40yd range pull

#

Or a quick heal for someone

#

And not a small heal either

#

Dunno if it's still that big, but with a crit I could heal someone for like 30% hp

#

Often life saving in m+ or raid

toxic pewter
#

Haranir racials at first glance seem kinda so-so I guess? Apparently has better crit damage like dwarf and Tauren which is solid.. not sure the roots thing they getting gonna be good or not

sick sentinel
#

human is better for damage than dwarf i think

#

but they are probably very close

#

pls sim your character and tell us if any diff between dwarf and maybe human dps

torpid dome
#

Dps differences between races are very minimal anyways 😐 not worth breaking my head over imo

lunar flare
# tame locust Why

Racials are decent as said, but also something entertaining about being a tiny fox and having groups of enemies 3-4 times your size smacking you in the face

hardy snow
#

pick race only based on which look you like, if you wanna be classic fantasy dwarf - go for it, if you think humans look cool - play human etc.

It's just funny like, 5% buff doesn't make you jump 18 positions and if it does then the season is clearly well balanced in the first place

Bro rets need to relax I ran into one that did 10m overall in a 12 arak week 1

neon elk
#

I feel like they are hit or miss , like ive had one with like 8m and then another equaly geared in same dung with barely going over 5

dusky canopy
#

Tbf the one I had was the literal rank 1 guy on warcraftlogs in LOU but still

#

If he can do 10m overall the average can surely do 7-8 like most specs

round pendant
#

just do a couple dungeons with omnicd and realise how rarely people press their CDs

#

caught my friend doing it

#

he's doing like 3m dps on the first pull of dawnbreaker in an 11

#

says he needs his cd for the lust pack next

sick sentinel
#

hey theres a race called mechagnome that gets a stacking 150 main stat for 10 times fat every 5 seconds

#

so total is going to be 1500 main stat after roughly a minute in combat

#

until you go out of combaat

#

so i thiink mechagnome will be contender for top dps

normal current

Gnomes >>>> everyone

#

Has anybody looted tome lately?

jagged pier
#

no me but lots of ppl have

rough egret
#

ill get it in this vault

dusky canopy
#

Somebody with tome take a screenshot of it equipped or in bags whichever and post it here!

rough egret
#

you dont believe its on drop table right? 😄

jagged pier
#

its not

rough egret
#

can confirm its not

dusky canopy
#

It specifically can only drop when other people in the party are able to loot it, if you’re the only person able to loot it the drop chance is disabled

#

2x drop rate for the other people that can loot it if they can’t trade it

#

This is the way

rough egret
#

huh?

#

but it can still drop for you

marble cipher
#

that was a joke 😉

cerulean tusk

have not looted a single trinket since

And just got my Pacemaker while pushing

Life's good.

lofty warren
#

If you have crafted weapons and missing 4pc what loot spec should tou be in vault?

hasty flare
#

quick question im lazy to check, we running ara and soul hunter trinket for m+?

#

or is floodgate in contention

dusky canopy
#

Idk I feel like I would go fury and gamble

#

Except not having 723 shield is bad

blazing shuttle
#

Pacemaker is love.
Pacemaker is life.

dusky canopy
#

Tbh

#

Procing a tome would be giga

cerulean tusk
#

I would always try to get a m track shield, those last % of mitigation are the absolutely most valuable per point

dusky canopy
#

Probably open Prot until tome is acquired

#

Hope you get shield proc before tome

hasty flare
#

tome meh in high keys no?

torpid dome
dusky canopy
#

Oh dude idk I would play Prot to do max damage if I was playing it again

lofty warren
#

Does tome drop for prot loot spec?

dusky canopy
#

If max damage build capped me at 16s with my skill level then so be it

#

Max damage is most fun

torpid dome
torpid dome
hasty flare
#

so they went kezen and floodgate

#

figured simular situation, i watched a few top tanks trinket vids none of them rate it very high

torpid dome
#

but tht's DH tho, I'm not familiar enough at what they want in trinkets

lofty warren
#

Qhen is your loot spec "decided"? Like if the key starts with prot loot spec and changes to arms before chest opened which loot spec is used

torpid dome
#

but trinket preference might vary between classes

hasty flare
#

pretty sure all of them take soulhunter as giga

dusky canopy
rough egret
#

if soulhunter means Brand then yeah its giga

hasty flare
#

and then the haste for ara but inconsistant damage, and floodgate for crit is pretty decent

torpid dome
#

as soon as you get shield, you craft your permanent slot (braces or belt, depending on the highest ilvl in those slots)

livid oak
#

what emb do we run for prot

rough egret
#

any

dusky canopy
#

Crit because crit is the best stat in the game

rough egret
rough egret
torpid dome
#

yeah I'm going for 2x crit as well on my embellishments

rough egret
#

if you craftin weapon, you can play ascension

#

but Crit is the way, you need to crit

livid oak
#

currently where i am at - pending vault in the morning

sick sentinel
#

for trinkekts are main stat or 2ndary stat better

bro go fill ur vault with delves more chance at tier and t8s are cheese as prot

harsh trellis

#

u got time before reset

livid oak
#

Yeah was just trying to sort some other stuff out

rough egret
#

31 glided/week

native ember
#

id send 3 11s fill it out with 8s and run a key even a low one to get hero track before reset

rough egret
#

so you can craft 720 next week

livid oak
#

If i dont get shield in vault do i send a gilded craft?

round pendant
#

yes

rough egret
#

you will send anyway

#

cus 720>710

livid oak
#

Oh right cause hero

#

sorry brain fart

rough egret
#

if you can manage get to 10s for the reset yeah then you have chance 😄

livid oak
#

Yeah nah thats not happening haha

cerulean tusk
#

Why no?

torpid dome
#

I mean, if you have a 'good' dps team

#

they can pretty much carry you through it

#

but the problem is that you'd alrady need to be part of a good guild I guess

livid oak

Sir the only people around atm are one of my guilds progging on dragon boss in +10 GMB

How bad is their dps

They run like headless chickens

sharp merlin

I take boss where it stands, then take boss to pile of gold and then move along the wall back

It’s not hard

livid oak
#

running with them makes it hard as a BRM (my main)

cerulean tusk
#

As adds ain't dying, they do less than 2m cleave DPS, so pretty bad

sharp merlin

If you’re struggling to do 10s, maybe they shouldn’t do them

hey guys. i am kinda new here and looked over the sections and pinned messages but cant find what i am searching for. what kind of simulation i run in raidbots for looking the best dmg outcome? like dungeon slice or a patchwerk fight and if patchwerk how long? i apologize if i missed this information if it was already posted somewhere here but couldnt find it. thanks for help 🙂

this ITF thing is confusing, so I need 21k haste to gain value from the ITF talent ? forgive my lack of intelligence kek

blazing shuttle

Actually true.

The bnig problem is:

"Can I trust pugs?"

cerulean tusk
blazing shuttle
#

On a big pack, one second of shield block dropped is death.

even 21k haste does not make it 100%

fair enough so, what is the alternate pick just curious

I also did that, but it was the first streets in 4y. not since 😄

#

Well then they wanted to continue so they could get hero track gear, so I got the distinct pleasure of wiping on every single boss in there and sometimes multiple times

#

Just to get to the last boss and fail like 7 times and they tap out. Didn’t want it anymore

Hey, would you recommend a Brew alt after the rework (?) recently? I wonder what to expect if to pick it up

fluid beacon
#

I'm hearing that the Gally ring is sim bait. Is it true that the gally ring is not simminy correctly?

strong forum
#

The gally ring?

#

Why is that one relevant

#

That's last season

#

Gets outclassed by simple ilvl

jagged pier
#

its simming giga high, like competing with hero pieces

fluid beacon
strong forum
#

That can't be right

#

It wasn't simming well in s2

#

Why should it be good now

fluid beacon
#

It's literally my top ring next to a crafted ring. Our shadow priest told me last night that the gally ring is also bugged. Apparently sometimes it doesn't proc at all and sometimes it has a 10-20% uptime

jagged pier
#

it was i noticved recently my 701 rings where now simming higher than it

fluid beacon
#

They are talking about it in the shadow discord

fluid beacon
fluid beacon
#

None of my 701 rings are better during sims

strong forum
#

Maybe you have 0 mastery on gear

#

That would then explain why

#

The proc itself is almost cosmetic iirc

fluid beacon
#

Yea but mastery skimming higher than crit or vers rings?

strong forum
#

If you have 0 mastery on your character

#

Getting 9k or w/e it is

#

Is a more efficient gain

#

Than getting more crit or vers when you already have 15k+

#

That's just how a total stat budget works out

fluid beacon
#

This is from a few days ago

strong forum
#

Is this with alchemical chaos

fluid beacon
#

IDK my stats currently but it wouldn't be much different other than me now crafting a vers crit ring

native ember
#

i just copy the bis list

#

i dont be mathing

fluid beacon
strong forum
#

Cuz whatever alch chaos was on at the moment of the pull, gets "absorbed" into your total stat budget

#

So chance there is that alch was on mastery

#

Also. Apparently the Hunter discord is talking about the Gally ring being sim bait and bugged

Thanks guys, I'l keep at it! So far only Ara kara has proven a huge problem

but total 2k secondary is quite good I guess

#

thing is before this whole convo, i was checking it in dungeons where i would have like 85% uptime and it never went over 600 extra stat

#

so i just swapped it out

I guess it may be simbait

Can anyone give me some pointers for The drones at end of Ara? I’m getting stun locked to death. Am I supposed to kite and drop stacks? How many of these guys max should I be fighting?

Heroic leap out, charge to a mob out of range of circles, Avatar removes snares

I am a Highmountain Tauren so I use racial to get out too

#

Can also have a Monk Tiger you, or a Pally Freedom you

#

If you have intervene you can intervene a friend

pallid yarrow
#

Ok thanks. I think I’ve underestimated the danger so will manage stacks better

shrewd grove
#

Worth noting in case it's unclear. The stacks of the debuff do not stun you. They only lower your movement speed. The thing that stuns is the web circles. As long as you don't get hit by those you're fine

also your healer has to dispell you regularly

What are people's thoughts on Araz's Ritual Forge? It's high on dps on Bloodmallet but quite low on Wowhead's list

#

And not on discord's list at all

It's not high on bloodmallet?

Are you looking at prot or one of the dps specs?

#

Unless you consider "top 20" to be high

olive kettle
#

At 5 targets it's high. I'm looking at m+

#

holy moly I was looking at antenna....

#

nvm

spring mist
#

Why doe sit feel like prot has so many buttons

fleet owl
#

is execute low priority even with all the talents that buff the ability? I'm asking mainly for raid fights since in that build more execute-focused talents are picked. Playing MT as hero talent

little lark
solid cargo
#

It should be a rage spender instead of revenge basically. If you need to get rid of rage but don't need to refresh SB or IP really you can dump it with execute.

It also does a lot of damage so you should be looking to press it when you can if it's not going to rage starve/kill you

little lark
#

still important to generate rage and not sit on CDs of Shield Slam or Drop your active mitigation for it (except you are not currently tanking in raid)

Depends on if you need it to live.

It "heals" and also gives you more IP cap for its duration. But it's our weakest defensive.

Trade it for execute talents?

The only time BSV proc for me is when I made a big pull and didn't use SB instantly

So it gives advice on why you can run without it x)

and why do some builds they dont pick disrupting shout?

anyone wanna guess which boss in m+

and that's without massacre specced which would make it even higher

nice! im new to this, wanna learn 😄

chrome falcon

Yep yep

#

But ya your revenge damage should be low

#

Very very very bad button for this spec

steep pivot
#

nice tip hehe i press it a bunch

chrome falcon
#

You only ever press revenge to proc shield slam

#

And technically you press once per pack for deep wounds

#

Colossus presses revenge, MT presses thunderclap

#

Post your talents?

steep pivot
#

i started as colossus but i liked mt better for prot

chrome falcon
#

MT is better when you get 4set

glad hollow
#

Did not realize Revenge was so bad for MT

what's a 4 set

is it related to that 2 set thing i hear about?

steep pivot
#

this is what im playing rn hehe got 4pc ^^

chrome falcon
glad hollow
#

Do we stay Col until we get 4 set?

chrome falcon
#

this explains why your execute damage is so low

pallid quiver
#

But if you prefer Thane, might as well play it

#

You'll be getting mondo gapped pretty hard until you get 4 set

glad hollow
#

I was gonna say I prefer MT play style. And so far I haven't run into any issues with tankiness

chrome falcon
glad hollow
#

Yeah the MT to my guild has me beat in dmg by almost a mil

chrome falcon
#

there are like 5 talents that buff execute

#

you're playing the bleed talent Bloodborne over Sudden Death

steep pivot

no last stand?

chrome falcon
#

Last stand is a healthstone on a 2 minute CD

#

Dogshit ability

#

I don't even play last stand in 15s/16s

#

(i probably should at that level but fuck it)

#

if you're doing content that kills you, you should swap Massacre for Battle-Scarred Veteran

pallid quiver

i just talking about it, i barely press it

Last Stand is probably the worst tank cooldown in the whole game
