And sometime I’m Brewmaster bc lol brewmaster prot

chrome falcon
#

oh my god i just want to get a 15 halls done before reset for resilient please

#

i hate this fucking abandon system

#

it's so much worse than before

#

our hunter does top dps on first pull halls but dies to thrash+shot damage

lusty grotto
#

idk man

#

i like it

chrome falcon
#

says "no way with these players"

#

and afks at entrance

#

so wtf do we do

#

one griefer can still troll your key

lusty grotto
#

report his ass

#

Gameplay Sabotage

#

is the new reason for that

chrome falcon
#

am i missing the option for that?

lusty grotto
#

oh

sharp gale
#

With the ppl I play, we just continue until we can abandon, idk how pugs do

lusty grotto

Holy fuck highee keys hoa are aids

i'm glad you said it.

lusty grotto
#

use communication

hard cipher
#

Legit thrash dungeon

chrome falcon
#

just absolute dogshit dungeon

#

never understood why anyone liked this place

lusty grotto
#

there's a derank option under communication

chrome falcon
#

everyone's face in shadowlands

lusty grotto
#

we dont

chrome falcon
#

but sure

#

lets see what happens

lusty grotto
#

i dont think anyone legit has said HoA was good in here

chrome falcon
#

well

#

we're warriors

#

we wouldn't say it

#

everyone fucking else did

hard cipher
#

Packs have so many casters its unfun

#

Without proper coordination

sharp gale
#

HoA was a streamer induced nostalgia

lusty grotto
#

HoA isnt nostalgia at all

#

nobody likes it

chrome falcon
#

dps and healers liked it in shadowlands

lusty grotto
#

its not even controversial like SD

chrome falcon
#

because they didn't know how disgusting it was

mighty valley
#

it looked pretty good next to spires of ascension

#

even with all bolts going to tank + dog bleeds

sharp gale
#

Before this season it was not uncommon to see hoa as best SL dungeon on a lot of ppl

chrome falcon
#

shadowlands dungeons are all awful

#

please blizzard please let me play legion keys again

sterile orbit
#

never played shadowlands so idk if it was worst or better in the past but its def better then theater of pain i hated that one

chrome falcon
#

i am so tired

#

theatre of pain clears HoA no contest

#

and i don't like theatre of pain

#

i don't like any key in shadowlands

#

they are all bad

#

tazavesh excluded

lusty grotto
#

i prefer DoS

chrome falcon
#

both tazas are pretty good

lusty grotto
#

and i dont like 2 hour dungeons

chrome falcon
#

fuck DoS that place is too long

#

remove a wing from DoS

lusty grotto
#

but we've already had ToP and Mists

mighty valley
#

DoS was great... minus the two worst pulls in history

cedar egret
#

sanguine depths would be fun

chrome falcon
#

remove gnome wing from DoS and i'll play it again

lusty grotto
#

and NW

sharp gale
#

DoS but pls shorten it and FUCK the snake boss

mighty valley
#

doing all of ardenweald wing in like two pulls, good times

chrome falcon
#

no more shadowlands dungeons

At this point i’d rather have tol dagor lmfao

Plaguefall purpleface

i think they could easily make sanguine depths pretty fun, take out the worst parts, keep in the buff jars

lusty grotto
#

Plaguefall

#

DoS

mighty valley
#

im a plaguefall hater

lusty grotto
#

and SL is done

chrome falcon
#

what the fuck is plaguefall

#

oh

#

i forgot about that place

#

yeah nah that place is cursed as shit

sharp gale
#

I’ll a plaguefall enjoyer

#

If they remove barrels

chrome falcon
#

Bring back

lusty grotto
#

all of those are cursed as shit

chrome falcon
#

Eye of Azshara

mighty valley
#

i think with the dust settled, spires was the worst

chrome falcon
#

We're going to have a naga patch in Midnight

#

Naga are elves

#

Eye of Azshara will come back

lusty grotto
#

well DoS cause it'll be a cheat farm again and its too long

chrome falcon
#

prepare yourself

#

oh god

#

but there are trolls in midnight first patch too

#

nononoono please i can't go DoS again

lusty grotto
#

Lmaoooo

hard cipher
#

Spires was pretty fun tbh

sharp gale
#

DoS is too long but they can just shorten it like street

#

Hey all! did anyone else log in and see a message saying they got 15 Gilded crests but didnt get them? Also got an in game email too

mighty valley
#

please no giga crab kiting in EoA

warm plinth
#

I only want DOS if we can have a movement speed buff everywhere XD

chrome falcon
#

wait ZG would actually be a fire M+ though?

warm plinth
chrome falcon
#

King's Rest but remove Zul

vocal flame
#

didnt do any keys last week

lusty grotto
#

they would have to give us safeguard back for 1st boss

vocal flame
#

maybe a bug

sharp gale
#

Gettiku… become my blade once more

chrome falcon
warm plinth
#

yeah it's just a bug. Besides, the email is more a notification that they gave it to you; you would've already had them before the email even got to you

hard cipher
#

Maw of souls would be fucking lit

#

7/5

warm plinth
#

But since you don't loot currency, it sends a mail instead

chrome falcon
#

yes

sharp gale
#

Fuck maw of souls

chrome falcon
#

back off of maw of souls

#

goated dungeon

#

forever

sharp gale
#

Only liked because it was easy

warm plinth
#

Maw sucked 🙂

#

And wasn't even easy at the end

chrome falcon
#

if maw of souls was easy you weren't playing it properly

hard cipher
chrome falcon
#

every time you thought "huh that was easy" you should have pulled an extra pack

warm plinth
#

People forget the stupid shit in that dungeon because it was short and made the dungeon weekly fast

chrome falcon
#

blizz needs to let some dungeons just be short

vocal flame
sharp gale
#

They should just put freehold as a permanent dungeon

ruby musk
#

When do we use wrecking throw during ST rotation thane? Is it just on cd or

ruby musk
#

idk it's on the talents on wowhead

chrome falcon
#

it is?

ruby musk
#

But idk why it's selected. It's not on the rotation.

chrome falcon
#

what

sharp gale
#

And the first raid boss exist

chrome falcon
#

okay what am i missing here

#

am i stupid

#

should i have been pressing wrecking throw

#

this can't be right

hard cipher
#

Havent even binded it

#

LMFAO

chrome falcon
#

oh it's the raid build

#

yeah whatever

#

press it on shields

sharp gale
#

I think it is a niche use where you gain 0.1%

chrome falcon
#

that's all

frosty vector
#

just did first key with 4p.....holy crap thunder blast spam

sharp gale
#

Like storm bolt when you spin as fury

warm plinth
#

Yeah you just use it when it's off CD and there's a shield. Otherwise you ignore it

mighty valley
#

yeah i mean, it's good for helping meet dps checks on shields

#

and barely any of the class tree utility talents are useful on raid fights, so

sharp gale
#

Street boss okayge

chrome falcon
#

i haven't even thought about it tbh where are there even shields in m+

undone beacon
#

Streets boss more like meats toss

chrome falcon
#

street guy.... eco dome?

#

the elementals give shields

ruby musk
#

Streets and eco I think

chrome falcon
#

is that it?

sharp gale
#

Ecodome sentinels yes

ruby musk
#

Are there any raid bosses with shields besides the first guy?

warm plinth
#

Elementals shield is purgeable though

#

But the pactmakers and the sentinels both have a shield

mighty valley
#

but yeah you can't really take it in m+ since you want stuff like crackling, shockwave

chrome falcon
#

our class tree is so inflexible

mighty valley
#

3 more points inc

#

get ready

chrome falcon
#

do pwarrs have the most buttons in the game

#

if you talent into them all

mighty valley
#

are we including the bad ones

lusty grotto
#

dw the next rework will give us MoP talent trees back at this rate

chrome falcon
#

absolutely yes

undone beacon
#

It hurts watching our guild alt tanks pull brands while I havent seen one drop at any difficulty sadge

mighty valley
#

just grabbing bitter immunity, int shout, spear and roar, etc

chrome falcon
#

i think we have like 6 spells on our class tree

undone beacon
chrome falcon
#

that we don't take

#

mm druids big true

mighty valley
#

purely for bind complaint equity

chrome falcon
#

we could take fear, bitter immunity, spear+roar, piercing howl/berserker rage aoe

sharp gale
chrome falcon
#

intervene

chrome falcon
hard cipher
#

Tbh

chrome falcon
#

surely blizz has a plan for these extra 3 talent points

lusty grotto
chrome falcon
#

surely they will tweak every single class tree to avoid insane bloat

lusty grotto
chrome falcon
#

surely we won't have 17 more fucking buttons to fucking press my fingers already hurt

sharp gale
#

piercing howl inc

lusty grotto
#

careful people get madge about having less buttons

#

"but mah combat complexity!!!"

chrome falcon
#

OH

#

we can spec out of devastator too

#

for another button

hard cipher
#

Do you run piercing for HM taz or yolo it

chrome falcon
#

for what

#

hooktail adds?

#

depends on your group

hard cipher
#

Ye

chrome falcon
#

i wouldn't bother

lusty grotto
chrome falcon
#

just group at boss, shockwave and nuke

#

do not try to 2x breath the adds

#

way too cringe and annoying

sharp gale
#

with spear

chrome falcon
#

spear good

sharp gale
#

somehow this tier i use piercing howl in 2 scenarios, i never used it before

chrome falcon
#

2? where else

#

mythic araz?

sharp gale
#

araz

#

yep

lusty grotto
#

i gotta be honest

#

i didnt even know piercing was buffed to 70%

sharp gale
#

i didn't know either

chrome falcon
#

piercing howl is insanely good

undone beacon
chrome falcon
#

at doing shit that doesn't matter

#

16 spells on warrrior class tree (18 if we count the stances which are technically buttons you can press)

sharp gale
#

i really find it useful on araz

chrome falcon
#

and i only counted choice nodes once

#

it's 21 if you double count choice nodes and include stances

#

but yeah druids got us beat

sharp gale
#

spec tree is literally mop talents but with fillers between the rows

lusty grotto
#

yup

chrome falcon
#

shhh

undone beacon
#

Had a guy in my guild say that his wish for midnight is for them to go back to mop talents

sharp gale
#

mop talents the filler were in your codex / when you lvled up

urban portal
#

is mop talents 3 choose 1

chrome falcon
#

yes

#

funny we call them mop talents when i think they were the version that existed longest?

sharp gale
urban portal
#

ya

chrome falcon
#

mop wod legion bfa sl, 5 expansions

old flame
#

MoP was where they started tho

urban portal
#

but at the end of the day we do have more power than we had before

#

from 3 pick 1

undone beacon
#

Easy life

urban portal
#

you can match 1 for 1 between current tree and shadowlands talents

#

and then add more

#

for example you couldnt have warbreaker and cleave in shadowlands

chrome falcon
#

i enjoy the game more with modern talents

#

but

#

maybe thats just because it's not bfa/shadowlands

#

really hard to tell

urban portal
#

i think theres more room for power and interaction on current talents

sharp gale
undone beacon
#

The biggest issue with modern talents is some classes seem to have devs that care and other don’t. Hunter class tree is notoriously awful, especially in the last gate

#

Yes I would like a DR on my out of combat temporary stealth, thanks

urban portal

“But pash you can feign and then hit it” shut the fuck up nerd

ye, some packs melted but others were takin longer

#

the main reason we keep shield block up is coz it has 30% momre dam on shield slam? hehe

plain spear
#

is mythic shield just an insta grab from vault over all hero gear? kinda torn between TOME hero track or starlit safeguard (crit/mastery) myth track. Sim is not something i like to do as i prefer tankyness over dmg. Any idea what yall would recommend? currently shield is hero track ringing ritual mud & soulbreakers sigil. Shield is the ward of weaving beast hero track

lusty grotto
#

yes

compact tulip
#

if you've not crafted one, sure

lusty grotto
#

even if you have crafted

#

its insta pick

chrome falcon
#

tankiness is damage for warriors

#

and yeah

#

it's shield

lusty grotto
#

on the sim note

chrome falcon
#

you're asking if you should take myth track shield (only available from mythic raid or vault)

#

or a 100% farmable trinket

lusty grotto
#

shields are the only 3 slots that you do not sim

#

so youre correct in part there

#

but

#

completely incorrect in dismissing sims as a whole

chrome falcon
#

in 90% of cases (excusing trinkets and basically nothing else), wearing gear that sims higher will also make you tankier

lusty grotto
#

☝️

chrome falcon
#

protection warrior cannot play for tankiness vs damage like some other tanks can

lusty grotto
#

the damage gain is just a great bonus

chrome falcon
#

it's because if you tank 4 unblocked melee swings in a 12 you hit the floor instantly

lusty grotto
#

floor pov

chrome falcon
#

(exaggerated for effect but not really)

#

just finished eco dome 16 without proccing BSV

lyric loom
#

finally got my 2pc lol. should i swap to MT?

chrome falcon
#

blizz is gonna bait me into dropping this talent

lyric loom
#

just for keys

chrome falcon
#

and i'm going to fucking die because of it

lusty grotto
chrome falcon
quiet sentinel
#

i dont raid every week but vault option i have Brand on hero track but also tome of lights devotion on myth track, what would you suggest?

chrome falcon
#

but objectively correct without 4pc is colossus

chrome falcon
lusty grotto
#

that legit is a call

#

but myth tome is the pick

chrome falcon
#

i actually think hc brand is probably stronger if you absolutely truly truly cba farming heroic for it

lusty grotto
#

you cannot farm it, at least you have a chance at hero brand weekly

lyric loom
#

i dont push super high keys. just gona play it i guess to get used to it

chrome falcon
#

brand is fucking crazy stupid

#

i'd be happier with hero brand + hero pacemaker than myth tome + hero pacemaker

quiet sentinel
#

i was thinking brand as well only cause i dont raid, only got into a random h clear

lusty grotto
#

nah

#

thats not the call Matt

torn gulch
#

it's actually crazy to me that brand will stay like this for the entire season kekw

chrome falcon
#

well you got into one, you can get into another

quiet sentinel
#

it was a guild carry ahaha

chrome falcon
#

i'm agreeing that they should take tome

lusty grotto
#

if i had a ban hammer

chrome falcon
#

but if this was a world where hero brand could only be picked now

#

i would say brand

jaunty jacinth
#

Any tips on execute talents for m+? is there any scenario that we could talent into them? like low target count dungeons etc..

lusty grotto
#

oh

chrome falcon
lusty grotto
#

wdym

#

we already have 3 execute talents

chrome falcon
#

then drop massacre for BSV

quiet sentinel
#

i mean either trinks are worth for me cause im still using last tier trinks

jaunty jacinth
chrome falcon
#

depending on the key, i drop massacre for BSV

lusty grotto
#

also stop supporting carries

#

unless it was your own guild, thats fine

jaunty jacinth
#

how about Heavy hands

quiet sentinel
#

yeah own guild

chrome falcon
#

unless i'm absolutely insanely turbo scared i take all the execute talents except massacre and run BSV

jaunty jacinth
#

handed*

quiet sentinel
#

ahaha no gold used

lusty grotto
#

ok, youre good

chrome falcon
#

yeah i go heavy handed

#

in absolute bleeding edge keys where anything can kill you

quiet sentinel
#

they just needed bodies for extra loot

chrome falcon
#

i drop all execute and go last stand + thunderlord

#

and enduring alacrity over execute cleave

lusty grotto
chrome falcon
#

well i'm not doing bleeding edge keys but

#

16s yknow

#

yeah also

lusty grotto
#

cause...

chrome falcon
#

this is just in the wowhead guide

lusty grotto
#

what youre describing

chrome falcon
#

i'm just reading out the m+ push guide

lusty grotto
#

doesnt seem like you have

#

our standard build has 3 execute talents

#

the only one thats missing is SD

#

and the push/defensive build has 2 execute talents

#

so idk what youre talenting into

polar sparrow
#

So, I have a choice between Myth track helm (that would need to be catalysed) or Myth Track Tome. I have hero in both slots currently. I'm leaning toward taking Tome, am I crazy?

chrome falcon
#

NIM THERE'S ANOTHER ONE

lusty grotto
#

ok bro

chrome falcon
#

NIM IT NEVER STOPS

lusty grotto
#

im out fuck it

chrome falcon
#

yeah

#

i'm sorry zej you might literally be the 50th person to come in today to ask "hey guys should i take my giga bis trinket at myth track which i will never replace"

#

and for the 50th time the answer is yes

#

it's not your fault

#

we're just tired

#

we're so tired

polar sparrow
#

oh I get it

#

and Im sorry that Im pestering

chrome falcon
#

you asked a reasonable question a single time

#

we are just tilted because we do not have it

polar sparrow
#

I would be too

chrome falcon
#

i don't know if nim got his hero track yet but i am 20 priory runs in and i don't have it on hero yet

jaunty jacinth
polar sparrow
#

but I was just wondering if I was being crazy for taking the bis trinket over a myth helm, and it looks like that tome is the right answer, thanks!

#

I appreciate the honesty and assistance

chrome falcon
#

you'll probably never see tome again

polar sparrow
#

that's also a valid reason

chrome falcon
#

-last stand -thunderlord +red right hand+sudden death

#

again this is in the wowhead guide written by people in here

#

you can go more execute talents or more defensive talents depending on how you feel in each key

jaunty jacinth
#

This might be troll to even ask, but is there any scenario where it's worth dropping Ravager?

chrome falcon
#

are you p laying ravager

#

like the one that you have to press

#

are you pressing ravager

jaunty jacinth
#

passive one

#

ofc

chrome falcon
#

okay good

#

uh to answer the question

#

i dunno probably not

#

it's pretty good

jaunty jacinth
#

Do you also know why wowhead guide doesn't pick Bloodborne?

uncut burrow
#

Ravager generates rage which is also nice

chrome falcon
#

go add up all the bleed damage you did

#

in your last key

#

deep wounds + rend + thunderous roar bleed

#

and you will have your answer

real fossil
chrome falcon
jaunty jacinth
#

Also whats the diff between devastate and Devastator? i know one is melees

rare light
#

Does the 4p Colossus tier only work on the target I hit or is at all targets?

chrome falcon
#

devastator makes our auto attacks do the devastate effect

#

devastate is an actual button you have to press

rare light
#

oh hell yea. thanks

#

thought i'd have to suffer with tab targetting lol

chrome falcon
#

i'm looking at a 16 priory log right now

#

rend + deep wounds damage was 10% of his total damage

#

so bloodborne is a 2% dps increase

jaunty jacinth
#

ah I just found devastator, waas looking for it in the tree

#

right

chrome falcon
#

compared to sudden death, which does about 5.5 million damage per press

#

so it's not even close

#

bloodborne is a talent for colossus

#

because their bleeds do damage

#

MT does not

jaunty jacinth
#

hmm, so Instigate or sudden death? kind of a hard choice

chrome falcon
#

if you want to play sudden death and red right hand, you drop last stand and thunderlord

#

do not drop instigate

cerulean badge
#

No more farming trinket UWU

chrome falcon
#

not even gonna ping nim

#

but i hope he's feeling the psychic damage

oak ivy
#

Yo where's the guy that had like 80% mast i have questions

chrome falcon
#

that can't be real

oak ivy
#

it's real and my small brain feels like he may be cooking

zenith aurora
#

Any good trinkets from delves for prot?

chrome falcon
#

i promise you he is n ot

#

that sounds like absolute dogshit

oak ivy
#

but hear me out bro takes negative damage from white hits

chrome falcon
#

so do i

#

so do you

#

the only time this patch i have felt damage from melee swings

#

was when i tanked 8 enraged pirates in gambit 15

#

at that point i was mildly scared of white hits

oak ivy
#

valid

chrome falcon
#

that much mastery means you surely have no haste for SB uptime and rage generation

#

or your crit is pisslow and you do no damage

#

mastery isn't like illegal or awful but

#

stacking mastery sounds painful

oak ivy
#

FOUND IT

#

LMAO

#

wonder how much dmg while enraged that translates to for fury

serene galleon
#

got a myth logic ring alpha (crit heavy, low mastery) or myth helm in vault, hard to sim rings because stat changes etc, prot warr guides say the logic ring omega (high mastery low haste) and dimensius ring (high haste low crit with the reshi proc) - thoughts on taking the ring? i generally only want to take bis things out of the vault so the safe bet is helm, but the ring could be really good - raid focused only.

frank bobcat
#

I had the helm drop from my vault too, stoked!

lusty grotto
#

why are you going the push key build

#

when you can make this simple swap

#

are you pushing 18s or something?

#

Gather round everyone, the mouse will tell you what to pick from vault!

In order of priority, eliminate as you acquire them and/or have any option to get them guaranteed:

  1. Myth track Tome
  2. Myth track Brand (only second because if you are killing hunters, its likely you will reclear - but this trinket is #1 of all of them)
  3. Myth track Antenna == Myth track Pacemaker (keep in mind you cant farm myth track pacemaker, but you can farm antenna if youre killing loomi weekly)
  4. Myth track Shield == Myth track Weapon (EVEN IF YOU CRAFTED, congrats you saved 60 crests and only need 15 more to max it. ) Secondaries do not matter, their ILVL is what matters, unless youre sidegrading because that's your only pick, in which case you SIM.
  5. Myth track tier or gear you can catalyze for tier set
  6. Hero Brand > Myth trinkets in the A-tier section in the wowhead guide or top most in the icyveins guide. Simming is useful here. Hero Brand also falls here, depending on sim, but remember you can farm it weekly vs myth slot M+ trinkets.
  7. Myth track defensive trinkets (Nucleous > Mud > Embrace, these 3 and Brand are the only good defensive trinkets as of right now)
  8. For any other Myth slot, SIM,

"but mr Mousechip, i dont believe in sims because defensiveness/tankiness/sturdiness isn't simmable!"
Well you're incorrect and should believe in sims. Do me a favor and put your mouse over your secondaries and understand that higher sim that favors higher secondaries will mean that you will be more defensive, not to mention completely solving agro issues because more DPS means more threat. The only two things you do not sim for a decision are Shield (easy pick since you always want highest ilvl, so it goes like this: Myth > Crafted > Hero > everything else) and defensive trinkets listed above.

"What if i only have hero tracks?"
You can follow the prio above but for hero tracks, but remember you can farm any of these items in M+, and weekly in raid.

"What do i craft?"
Refer to this handy prio: #protection message

"But wowhead suggested embelished slots"
No it didn't. It lists the embelishments we are likely to stay with for the entire season, which is 100% correct. There's huge value in getting a gilded crafted shield and weapon this early in the season, but you will likely replace those with Myth tracks.

But I didn’t win either in raid anyway

FML..mythic codex in my vault 2 weeks in a row.. do I take shield or shoulders.. got 720 crafted shield and heroic shoulders...

hopefully youll understand what the pick is there

with that gigantic wall of text

#

is that pinned somewhere that i missed?

no i just made it earlier

I'll make you earlier

fallow fern
#

just curious how much more defensive value (roughly) is a shield going from 720 to 723?

serene galleon
#

you are better off looking at it as, end game do you want a 720 shield or a 723, the answer is always 723

fallow fern
#

And the rationale then is shields are harder to get than mythic tier, right?

lusty grotto
#

its your only source of block

#

so you want the extra 3 ilvls

#

because it equates to more block

Can anyone explain in single target what the prio ability is between SS, Empowered Tclap, or Execute with 4pc? I see all these warriors having ionizing strike as their top damage, are they just high rolling the 20% proc chance?

lusty grotto
#

if you get a reset its TB

#

otherwise SS

#

execute is last simply because its not a generator

#

but execute should be your focus

no brand again fuck

Is there any argument for colossus in mythic or is MT just a clear cut above?

mighty valley
#

in mythic raid the damage gap is pretty large

#

in mythic+ they're closer together but colossus doesn't bring anything particularly unique

youre picking tome

youll get another myth helm

you can run Manaforge again

its very unlikely that you will get another myth tome

It's either a tome or weapon angle, since Loom shield is bound to drop at one point, while Salhaadar is a long way down the road

Already have crafted shield & weap anyway

Just wanted to rant on Tome being too strong for raiding

pacemaker for AoE

torpid dome
# warm plinth That's not what I asked. I know one does one and one does the other. I'm askin...

I think the comparison is very difficult without running multiple test runs with both, thats why I point at top key pushers, since they spend a lot of time running and testing these things for now.
Tho teamcomp also plays a big factor in that as well. but looking at possibilities that trinkets can be nerfed and buffed, another S-tier trinket would be insta-pick for me, even if it remains in my bag for now

Or is it that we can buy myth tier trinkets later? No right?

warm plinth
#

We can, assuming turbo boost is the same this time as it was last time. They already said we were getting it again this season.

yes we will be able to buy trinkets later

i have the ring and the gloves in hero tracks

im going to do tazavesh hardmode later today, in the case the ring doesn't drop in mythic trap from tazavesh hm

#

should i take gloves or ring

#

i would say ring but the msg above say gloves ?

rough egret
#

I would say wait

#

do the HM, and pick after

warm plinth
#

I would take the ring then. Gloves will be catalyzed eventually no matter what gloves they are, which means the stats of them dont' matter. If the ring drops on myth track, then take the gloves

# torpid dome

oh this... i have normal brand. do i even swapp it with pacemaker if i get it? mein overall dmg is like 15% only brand

okey thx boys

so in your case myth track brand would do 16% overall dmg instead of 15

lofty glen
torpid dome
#

tome vs pacemaker is difficult to say, both amazing trinkets, tome is better in prio damage, pace in AOE dmg

#

so pick what you feel is more lacking in your situation if you have the choice

He's saying that you would run either tome trinket or pacemaker trinket depending on whether your group needed more priority damage or aoe damage

If you had both to choose from

with the other trinket being brand

correct a myth lvl shield is bis

nah I meant the Rin

obiously shield is better

if oyu have heroic tier tome, I would pick the shield ove rmyth track pacemaker

then upgrade weap to gilded as well as soon as you gather another 60 gilded crests

those are your 2 biggest upgrade slots for now for dmg and survivability

more dmg from you == less threat dropped == faster packs dead

and bigger shield == bigger tank

Okey yeah, somehow feels intuitive to get the upgrade for that weakest link in my arsenal, but this sounds correct indeed also. Ill then get the weap + shield, big thanks mate! You've made one learning prot warrior a bit wiser

I got mythic shield cracted, in vault I got Ward of the Weaving-Beast on 710 but now we farm that boss, rest I got useless mythic ring and 2x gloves I can catalyst to mythic item and fully upg instead of heroic track I got.
