I gotta do ‘Murica shit this weekend with the family but if you don’t have it by next weekend we will no life that shit
I’ll bring some tank off spec homies
Jesus
one of my friends is saying Tome got nerfed to have no ICD so it's like 50% uptime now, is that true?
or it's just bugged or
Thx for explanation, clear and concise. Big up on you (and yeah pin it xD)
it got nerfed too give less crit that was it, unless there is an undocumented change
but as of yesterday it was fine

i got tome and i don't even want it
yes you fucking do
I've never felt like tome does anything
but I know it's the best
so I use it
is tome shit in m+?
is only good in raid
eh it's still useful on bosses in dungeons surely
It's a single target trinket for the most part. That doesn't mean it's only good in raid.
I personally been runing Pace and Brand now
and swapping Brand with Soleahs (its all I got, but the trinkets off the first two bosses would be ideal) in Streets
Though Pace+Tome is prob very good in streets
I just wish tome felt like it did something
I honestly prefer direct damage or damage proc trinkets
rather than glorified stat sticks
fwiw pacemaker is the same
What you don’t love randomly watching a glowing book pop up??
Though pacemaker does at least have main stat that is always active in addition to the crit.
i dont, cause then we have details breakdowns here showing people playing terribly and having their trinkets cover for 75% of their damage
as a result
theres like a group of 5-6 trinkets that are all pretty good
I personally love when folks come in and be like oh man this did 20% of my damage! And you're just like well that's not good lol
Have you tried pressing buttons
like the dudes that post brand damage
Imagine having brand
and you can very obviously tell, they just dont press buttons
Arcanocore, Atenna, Pacemaker, Brand, Tome, Soleahs, Sacbrood. Just choose two, and be happy
You forgot cursed stone idol
Idol is cool
We like to live dangerously
but the channel is a bit sketch
Shockwave > channel
not something id use in a real key; rather play safe
Hope it’s not on Dr
but fun for ~~small ~~weekly keys
Healers adjust
Did 10s last night farming drops. Love that weird little cursed idol
Idk I'd just send it tbh lol
channel for 1s less than beacon or grieftorch, "oh its a bit of a troll"
We've used more dangerous trinkets
there are safer and other good options
reminder that beacon and grieftorch were 2s casts
just shockwave first
not a 1s cast
Ngl it did almost get me killed in dawnbreaker
Just shield wall first 
I pulled like 5 packs in the church and got a little zealous and hit it thinking I’d be able to refresh sb but sb fell off just as I was hitting it
I got greedy, flew too close to the sun
thats the best kind of greed
Also low key is dawn breaker the most dangerous key?
I loved that tornado trinket
for prot yes
It was so sick
I’m cranking in every other key but dawnbreaker has some booty clinchers for us
Dots. Our nemesis
whats scary about Dawn?
yeah every tainted slash
feels more like a healer check key
is fucking panic stations
miniboss+upstairs pack in cathedral?
Unblockable bleeds and magic
Ran with a prot pally in a 10 dawn who had a vet brand, it was his top damage
i eat shit on that pull every run
Uh after first boss I pull the pack outside the back door and all the packs at the bottom of the stairs
It’s like 4-5 packs
But there’s a commander and 3 tainted dudes and one of those shadow swirly guys
Oh so when brand fell down in 5 or 6th place in my meter, this isnt because it didnt deal damage, it's just because I played better ? XD
I don’t know mobs names I just call them by what they do
“Tainted slash guy” and “swirly shadow guy”
Hey same
I pull all the packs at each church door. I go in through the side, do that and the big pack in middle, then chain the other two doors, then mini boss
I barely learn boss names lol
I hate the stupid courtyard so I get most of my trash at the church
My db route isn’t meta but I like it better
Healers be damned
I do this for DB
Meta be damned I’m the tank is my 2/10 route
I named it in position : "Yeah you know the priory's first boss"
Fucking hate looking at Dawn in MDT/threechest it’s incomprehensible to me
Can you share it ?
why?
the fuck is pull 6
Bahahah ok
pull 6 looks awful but its really not
I just can’t visualize it well in my minds eye
I almost do the same

The only prob in pull 6 is the big guy and his debuff
theres like 2 casters and you just grip them
Got called bad for pulling like 6 without the front 2 and the group down left
Ah yes, with my grip
huge efficiency gains
I drop the extra shadow in 6 and pull the pack to the right of 8 as well
How silly of me
Said "uh, the mech boss" in a guild floodgate key the other day lol
Imagine not learning boss names, fucking PLEBS
I pulled 6 frontals back away from the group healer instant dead next frontal rogue dead
Big M.O.M.M.A. Deserves respect
i struggle there without the outside pack even
Ngl i don't know most boss names but I do know big momma
i did pull 6 a lot in s1
"Why pull this you stupid" in chat they said frontal is bugged they can't see

I know swampass's name because I made that joke once and it stuck in my brain
usually yes depending on timing but on higher keys I think we'll need to split it bc third boss is kinda doodoo
I pull things that I wanna pull if they wanna question it they shoulda picked a diff tank smh
Like first boss in flood is just duo, swampboi is third, idk wtf the last guy's name is
Could not tell you any of the boss names in Dawn except last guy begins with an R
Bront and Keeza Quickfuse, Big Momma, Swampface, Geezle Gigazap
gigazap is what i call him cause thats what he does
pull 9 in my route is heal intensive, pull 10 is small and designed to let healer cds come back before boss which is poop to heal
yea, that pull 6 lowers my pull count by 1
if its doable... could be cool
you just have to dodge frontals, its fun
Speaker Shadowcrown, Anub”Ikkaj, and Rashanan
a lot of the packs in/around the cathedral were changed
Respect the bosses nerd
but i'm not sure which if any outside
why not try this?
the pack inside the cathedral is absolutely fucking rancid now
Depends on how they change the dung like OvO
Actually someone asked me yesterday if you can los the slam on the tank in dawn (as not the tank)
I call him gigazap because I think he's a Pokémon and he says it all the time
Mfw that's his name
and not do your cathedral pull?
Reminds me of John Bonestorm, first boss of ICC
John Bonestorm lmao
ah yes John Bonestorm
You dare question me? Face annihilationnn
I'm about to kill them. They'll have to make do without it.
pull very 6 is irritating to play bc you cant los casters inside
Second favorite voice line this xpac.
prefer coming back side of church to abuse los/choke
I pull the mini boss outside
First being “BACK TO THE BUSINESS OF OUSTING THE OUTSIDERS”
I rp a warrior with brain damage ok. I'm just doing good RP by not knowing anything about what I'm fighting
the one with the mini boss or the two 4 packs
Trash trash trash trash traaaaaaash is mine
Though I guess technically that's a bfa voice line
That is BFA, but I’ll give it a pass
I also like “Bust out the big bombs, boys” because alliteration
How good is the tome? Even when its hero track?
Very good

I dont like that pull 11
I honestly prefer the other route
but I hate your church pulls
then why do you ask
Cause its the first time that i got one in there
And never had it dropped before
Short answer, it’s good
Long answer, it’s very good priority/ST damage when used properly
Summary: it’s good
brand is just obscene af
no man i just never got this fucking trinket last season after 40 runs so i gave up and i don't have it this season
he's saying it seems really low for him
2.5% in overall is normal tome damage
BUT IT GIVES YOU CRIT
its not just whatever fucking dumb shit shows up in details
Feels like the haste vers neck? i have brand and antenna HC
how much crit at max hero
i can't check without actually having the trinket
just check sense s1 logs
and its around 2-3% for its nuke
that's not the sole reason why its good
its also more single
absolutely
right understood ty ty
look man this dude was the top io prot pala last patch that just shows you the state of that class
When I pull 8 people will all day to frontals 100% sure, then they fly back right into the next frontal
Even after telling them the route beforehand and saying they need to watch frontals
Last run resto druid died to it doing cat weave shenanigans and called me out for this stupid pull 
I guess there's only 1 logical choice, which isas the shoulders
Not only crit, but a lot of crit
Yeah
Like a substantial amount of crit
You got new shoulders ggs 🙂
yeah exactly :-p unfortunately no trink,better luck next time
Did 4 halls no legs 🙁
i like void emissary week
yup execute pad is real
The real tech is wrecking throw pad
Eww
Pad is pad
Less executes 😄
zet is right though
you cant reverse funnel if you kill it fast
you want that executable target for exe cleave
Yeah but I wanna throw shit Nim
I’m optimizing dopamine by throwing bricks at void ghosts
fair
what champ and what ability does the pushing the mobs out and then instantly pull them in in a stack?
i mean what class
Druid
feral?
Its vortex typhoon combo
Yes, DH aswell
Pack Leader hunters can also do this
Hey guys, what should I take from vault in your opinion?
Currently have hero tier legs, hero mud and hero so'leah's as trinkets
Binding Shot (with Horsehair Tether) + Bursting Shot
There’s not even a question to ask here you take the tome
And replace the hero mud
just link the post pash
damn didn't see that, thanks a lot!
@lusty grotto
Tome F tier cuz warriors illiterate
Everything I do I do for the love of the mog
I’m already saving vet and champ pieces for the end of season in case I don’t get the looks
the delve items are really good
I got so many S2 sets with delve gear it was great
Got all the sets for my Druid, warr, hunter, and monk
you can buy the items off the vendor after you finish the delve season
and thats LFR mog
then just upgrade it
I gotta make sure I do it on my paladin
I might need a second paladin

I like the current Pala mog
My Paladin got a mythic shield from vault
on a one key a week budget

I also refuse to play lightsmith on that thing
I dont care if numbies are better


Hello!
Does anyone know how useful is Avoidance for high-end M+? Like, what % of the damage we take is AoE?
I have a myth-track hands tier piece with avoidance in my vault. Other vault items have higher DPS increase right now tho, because my hands are already 704 ilevel.
But I'm thinking that taking hands with avoidance could still be worth it in the long run if it's actually a good stat for tanks.
not useful
for vault advice see here #protection message
tertiaries arent worth a pick over other more impacting slots and/or track jumps
Socket (when applicable) > Leech > Speed > Avoidance
Or if you’re based and fastpilled then Speed >>>>> All
i saw that Nav
Avoid avoidance HEHE
Alright then I'm not gonna bother giving up better short-term upgrades
did you read the linked post
Screenshot your vault
I mean how many options do you have
I did, I just meant that myth hands with avoidance is still better then myth hands without avoidance
Avoidance is never worth giving anything up for. If it’s a 1-1 upgrade but the new piece has avoidance then cool, but it’s not to be sought out
That’s all
Having a stat is better than no stat but it’s not worth seeking out
yeah, no tertiaries are, but ESPECIALLY not avoidance
i mean sure, they are slightly better, but not at the cost of other picks
This guy isn’t speed pilled
very very very slightly
Normal move speed lookin ass
Speed so good
Yeah that's what I wanted to check
but only cause you get something bonus out of it
avoidance in general is no bueno for us, like we've said
Just out of curiosity though, does anyone know what's the average % of AoE damage we take throughout a dungeon?
you should 100% NOT pick myth gloves if you already have myth gloves
avoidance is just low level aoe magic reduction right?
I guess that varies a lot depending on the dungeon
shit dps worries about
not worth considering
we dont die to aoe
you can be afk
and not die to aoe
as a tank
it varies a lot but yeah, unavoidable aoe is tuned to threaten a baby dps's health bar
☝️
Yeah, I was just curious about if it's something like 0,5% or 5% of the damage we take
What mitigatipn do you guys use on the tank breath on nexus king?
But I did take note that Avoidance is never worth
not really gonna bother getting those numbers
cause its a non issue
but feel free
spellward
but really u only have IP SW AND SR
better stack em
i mean this is assuming youre not going face forward into avoidable aoe of course
Just talent spell breaker and gamble on your 8% chance 50% DR
Pull lives or dies on spell breaker like god intended

I was fine with just wall and SR, barely felt it and the raid HP barely moved
Honestly, I hit that with a shield block and an ignore pain
raid health didnt move
alr
last sunday me tanking the breath killed the raid lmao
Do you have a log?
Also anyone else caught in the breath will echo damage too so if you point it wrong or have braindead people standing in it, you’re screwed
Yeah that doubles the breath damage you take, supposed to do a taunt swap there
yes its a magtic dr
Got 4p set, is it better to run MT ?
yeah I ate no maw
so I think I just forgot to mitigate / didnt expect I needed it
use wipefest
its so much nicer
That is a fun fight
we just started on heroic dimensius
We’re doin H Dimmy tonight
both bosses are fun
Big excite
I like Salhaadar a lot but people in my group were struggling P3
my only gripe with this raid is that the hitboxes are just..
so ridiculous
Loomi for example
last phase the melee max range is practically non existant
Yeah I don’t get the hitboxes for some of these bosses at all
They take away reach from most melee then fuck the hitboxes
Thanks blizz
last night i was getting issues on fracty too
placing walls, randomly going out of melee range
and then did it on my DH split and had no issues at all
was the most random shit
none of that happened last week
or the week before
idk
we found placing the orbs closer to center helped.
not all the way on the outside
but the hitboxes on loomy and dimmy for sure have been consistently atrocious
Frac is just such a weird boss imo because on paper it’s cool but the fact that it’s basically completely solved by WAs is a lil lame
p1 for dimmy, last phase for loomy
guys i assume if the cd on tome to advance pages is the trinket cd i should start boss fights on sword mode , wait for it to change to shield then manually change to sword?
or how does it work
yea pretty much
Like on our first heroic pull I didn’t even bother doing callouts and we killed it
it doesnt share trinket cd
as in it doesnt trigger it
yeah but i mean how exactly do u minmax it?
if you mean the double on use thing
just press it when you go to shield to go back to sword
its that simple
the goal is to be in sword more all the time
there's no min maxing
should i start in shield then use it on pull?
or start in sword then
just start in whatever state it is
when it swaps to shield you use it to swap to sword
i think i mentioned that
dont use it pre-pull
once again, there's no min maxing here
when i said it doesnt trigger trinket cd, i meant the on-use "shared" cd between trinkets
it will be on cd if you pre emptively swap to sword
honestly it really doesnt matter
How we doing today
Im doing alright, thanks for asking 
ok let me make this simple:
theres never any situation where you want to stay in shield mode
if youre shield mode before the pull then youre doing something wrong
i have to run keys on dh or else i would keep going
What you guys farming? The tome?
no, shields and shoulders
that was sarcasm
i heccin love taza hm
lost the 80% roll of getting a useful item

15 items, 12 wouldve been an upgrade atp
18 priories, more than half with multiple traders 0 trinkets

im going to break my monitor
bro i have nearly double
bro
which is where im headed for the 2nd season in a row!
Take a break
Dont melt your brain
I ran pace + mud + 2 set to 3k last week. Mud was really good in a post spell block life
yer like i didnt run keys for 5 days last week
Run gambit for funsies
just to think i have to do the farm on my DH
at least last season this fucking toon got it in like 4 runs
as soon as i get this trinket im on 8 keys a week mode till my group wants to push
but now, im not so sure
but I need this fucking trinket to drop first
i still dont have pace either lmao
thats why flood has been hardstuck at 7
last season at least i got that one early
is pacemaker better than raid trinket?
No
But it’s good
i mean for shorter fights so most fights on normal and hc it is better than brand
im 3rd in line for tank trinket so ill get a heroic one sooner than later
yeah thats true
as brand doesnt have time to ramp
im still a trial, and i dont raid as tank
so im on the backseat
cant open vault as prot either
until big 2h
Yeah I should start being more careful with my answers ig. I always come from the m+ perspective

guess im farming pacemaker after i get this god damn book
I’m such a mini game player
Be kind to yourself
If it stops being fun, do something fun
i want to start working on my DH and monk tanks but i need these trinkets first man
i keep trying to queue keys on my dh and i see a priory up and im like hmm maybe i should do that on the warr
hey lads who is a good streamer to watch that plays prot warr? i legit feel so lost playing prot like he doesn't feel nearly as fluid as brewmaster or vdh and i know it shouldn't be like this lol
watch sense on yt
Me what’s up
its called parry
Question: on mythic 4th boss, we need to knock small adds into the black hole to make them attackable. can I use the MENACE upgrade on my intimidating shout to help?
You need a real supple wrist
To adequately angle your sword correctly
But then you also need some strength to deflect the attacks
Hi Folks, can someone advise how to many duration displayed on a wa icon ? im using luxthos pack and it shows cooldown by default on shield block, i would like to change it to duration
First boss on Dawn - is she bugged, 70% of the time she wont reposition at all after the circles go down?
between platforms
theres one platform you will have NO DATA on
all the time
unless the logs are merged
and you have loggers on both of them
thats been the case since s1
I hate her for this reason
just do wide moves
she seems a lot worse this season
plant feet
unfortunate but
its the only thing you can do aside from having smart ranged bait correctly
and hope someone kicks
doesnt help people are dropping the circles on/by her (ranged)
try here #ui-addons-manager
sometimes baits go on healers
so MW and HPal are kinda fucked, but its not consistent
pres is kinda fucked as well
Is two stacks of the ring debuff mostly just a you’re dead situation on H Dimmy
Because on N my squad is not good at avoiding two stacks
just get close to the one thats exploding
and rotate around the boss
to the direction of the next one
you want to take the first ring ASAP
so be right in front of it
Okie dokes
It's definitely a "pop a defensive or you're dead" for prog at least.
nah, at least it wasn't on my DH
just ate that shizz like a champ
I was trying to pay attention but couldn't pick up the pattern before he died, is there a set sequence of ring detonations?
Like first to pop up is first to pop
yeah it just goes in order of appearance
any suggestions?
sim
bruh rsham PUMPS
neck is basically bis no?
@yam wowhead has the haste/vers neck, but I guess so yeah
bis lists are basically meaningless tbh
they're just like "if you had all the gear in the game, what should you wear"
yeah that's bis within the context of having all the other gear I imagine
but it's pretty unlikely you'll get all the gear in the game lol
yup
its just that our tier has way more crit than vers i guess
yeah you'll be happy with basically any myth neck with high haste
unlike last season, there are a lot of those from m+
Ima just take the neck, tnx for the input
fwiw idk what the stats on the ring are
haste/vers
I'd go neck for sure

its my 4th tank playtime wise, no idea if that guy is gonna see hm
what ilvl does hard mode drop
hero track, but deathless is a free mythic piece
from Taz
Myth 1/6 for deathless
Hero 1/6 off bosses
it's a random box though right
Yeah you get a random piece of TV loot for deathless, could be a codex
its not that hard now; you basically only die from silly things
but if you can, get a group to run it every week
What do you consider a silly thing
Our hunter throwing a bomb on postmaster to the middle of nowhere and letting it pop
we died last week cause we didnt know that the gluttony debuff (the thing you get to absorb orbs on menagerie) did friendly fire
That pissed me OFF, he’s not invited to our clear this week
literally timed a 15 streets.... wipe to fucking menagerie cause that mechanic doenst exist in M+ but I guess it does on HM?
It’s tuned wrong for M+, the lethal force has the same issue IIRC
it is, but it doesnt tick for 5 mill a second
Couple things in streets don’t scale with the key
so we never noticed it
Gluttony and Lethal Force being the main offenders
until HM
Was messing around in HoA last week with Intervene and SR on boss 2, and managed to get a "reflect" on Stone Shattering Leap. Not sure if it was a deflect or true reflect, don't have a log, but I wanted to mention it in case someone wanted to test.
If it interacts like the frontal from boss 1 of Necrotic Wake, could be pretty gud.
but HM aint hard, but the extra stress of no one dying really gets people on edge
its only +120% from base mythic with no affix (so no tyran or fort)
My dps died on every boss
but every week should get easier; dps do more dammies so bosses fall over faster
Is this a tad too much Haste? 😮
anyone know if there is a haste cap ? Cause my simc are rating haste really poorly on dmg
sims stop going haste after 20k
and you should not
25-27k is when you want to stop
ok yeah you can prio other stats now lol
I'm at 22k
maybe I go full crit on gems
but Crit simc like 3 times the amount
so crit/ vers?
sure
whichever sims best
even mastery ones
ok thank you friend
but yeah what harrow said
its not
its lowest prio but its not ass, its good
ok thank you!
since people avoid it so much, it often sims as the best dps stat by far
until you get a little of it lol
that doesnt surprise me
Haste simc so low for me
did you read?
what i said?
all 3 lines
Is tankiness hurt a lot by not going haste tho ?
yes
For salad bar during starkiller swing, it’s just face the strike and dr?
because it will make you have gaps in SB uptime
SB is a hastened cd, it NEEDS haste
its the #1 reason we go haste and we swap talents from ITF to HR and vice versa
I really miss Demolish as prot, shame hardly anyone runs it
are you playing heavy repercussions?
Oh that's a point! maybe I can switch to that now I have so much haste
I took the other one when my haste was low
other way around, if your haste is high enough to allow it, you take ITF
heavy repercussions is the one that lets you have high sb uptime at low haste
Really!? 😮
ok
Im sure I read it as the other way around but ok
Yeah Repercusion is good when you cant maintain the SB
it's a little counterintuitive since people are like "i'll take the haste talent since I have low haste"
So if haste really drops off at 20k ish, ehy is ITF good then? It gives more haste?
but heavy rep does so much more for sb uptime than raw haste
because HR's damage gain is negligible by comparison, a big haste bump from ITF is still better than that even if haste is falling compared to other damage stats
Hi. Does anybody know how powerful the Manaforge Reshiwrap boots are? I have them on champion but I am nto sure if I should use them or my regular hero track boots
They are insane imo
the effect isn't worth dropping ilvl for
^
the effect is free so they're the best boots at their ilvl but
a track up is still gonna be better
Maybe once we get to use dps cloaks
Thank yo uvery much guys, I can give it to somebody else then
Is this planned?
I kinda miss when we could just say, "5100 haste for ~100% uptime" and that was that :/
id ont
No no, im not aware of it 🙂 just yapin
Well we can again now, with the exception of if you're still running the old belt
Even so belt just says you need a couple thousand less haste than otherwise
Omg you called it, it's suggesting Mastery/ Vers gems...
With crit enchants on rings
wtf everytime i run a sim for prot it fails
Soulbinder Embrace better than Mud Myth from last season?
yes
ah yes ty sir do we still need the apl for tome cause i couldnt find it in the pins
depending on dungeon but
mud can pull ahead in big dot dungeons like flood
so its situational
1 min cd all the time is hard to beat though
yeah i mentioned dot dungeons because of the CDR
if it doesnt go below 1 min cd, then embrace is a million times better
both are beat by nucleus though
those are the only 3 defensive trinkets worth considering
ethergause is good too but... its limited to hero track and its not really big on the defensive part
unfortunately nobrand of ire 🙁 DId get the boots tho
gz
it's 1 min? the Embrace?
ah man, it has strength too
I can't.. not say hello to that 😄
its also a partial shield
and were back at nexus king 😄 progging time
so its like a mini bomb suit
Possible to cheese last boss ara kara with leap? 🙂
yep
Yes
So leap out at like, 0.5 sec or something? 🙂
I've been doing it at 0.8 w/o any issues
ty ty
Not sure on timing, but if you're standing under the boss at the last second there's kind of a "bump" that causes your character to jump in the air. I leap when that bump happens.

i got a mythic head via m+, can i change it into a mythic t-set piece?
sure
streets bugging is dumb
this
nobody can pick it up
whats worse is this is so late in the dungeon
/abandon
and gg
My rule of thumb is just don’t run streets 👍
Damn that’s awful
Would hate for a solid run to just end like that
Actually reminds me of when couldn’t pick up instruments in shadowlands
That also sucked. That entire area needs to just be redone where you don’t have to pick anything up anymore to be honest
Aint enough till you reach 0.75 gcd 
Oh man. Like dawn breaker not spawning adds or bosses
shearchip not having a good time doing vault keys
11 ara cooked into abandon cause dumbies start dps on the run down, and cant kick
Yeah streets is fucked between the trade and the mail room bugs
When i had the perma mail room button, I couldnt use the instrument button either
So had to do the whole oasis fight with no damage budf
Buff
What do I want here?
Myth chest piece? I can upgrade mine to 710 and catalyst it to tier piece though
Neck is haste/mastery
May I just say.
The Tier Set can literally be a "suffering from success" at times?
I've had like 5/6 Thunder Blast resets in a row. If not more.
I wondered when it would stop.
@lusty grotto should I take myth tome from my vault?
TOOOOOOOOOOOME
Idk why some streamers say that Tome ain't worth it on prot warrior though, like Kira for example
These people are on another level we are not on.
What’s the mail room bug @warm plinth
With Haste Food (+470), R3 Oil (+232), R3 Flask (+2825), Enduring Alacrity, 2/2 Wild Strikes, and 4 stacks of ITF, it's 28,846 base haste rating on gear for 100% SB uptime with NO external haste multipliers/trinkets/belt, etc.. I could have made an error somewhere, because my multipliers for the talents might be off. Caveat: That's with perfect play, no tolerance for lag, misplay, human error, etc...
Realistically though, chasing infinite uptime is bad imo. You get some real tolerance out of movment, charging, leaping, downtime, pull-to-pull, etc..
do i craft a shield or sword first? oO
Twice now I've had it keep the button on my screen which prevented me from picking up further ones, doing the trades, or using the Oasis thing
Shield
thanks ape
No problem twig
% haste talents have no effect on your haste rating
% haste anything actually
Nvm I misread your message
🏃♂️➡️
Was just following up on some ol Dragonflight nostalgia when we had a concrete number to chase, haha. Hasn't been realistic all xpac, even with the gear inflation :/
Yeah realistically you need 100% haste I think right
To actually have 100% uptime
Because of how cooldown reduction from haste is valculated
Calculated
RIP
100% haste is without anytalents just gcd
ah the ol' one step forward two steps back
Well I'm saying after everything, your actual haste % would have to be 100%. Not that you'd need 100% haste from rating
With a Shield Charge every 45 seconds, you need 37 seconds of Shield Block every 45 second interval, so 37s / 8s per shield block... 4.625 Shield Block applications (without charge) per 45 sec period ~ 9.729729... sec Shield Block recharge rate.
If you added bolster the number you need goes down slightly as well obviously.
Ah true you have shield charge. Didn't think of that.
So ((16/9.729)-1)x100 would be 64.44% haste
But essentially, you just throw haste into the DR calc, add the 2% multipliers, and ITF and you can get a number. But that number is at a big loss to the rest of your stat profile.
After everything
yeah
thats imply u always have full stacks of ITF which isnt the case
Yeah
But realistically if you got close, you'd probably not notice the brief downtime you did have since there's almost always a bit of traveling or rp you have to deal with
Exactly
Math is fun
Even with 25-27k you're barely going to notice gaps from pull to pull.
You'll feel it on long boss fights, but that's it really.
Yeah I have around 25k and only notice if I've been chain pulling for a good bit
Nothing you can't play around.
What do you guys think is easiest key?
Has to be Eco Dome right?
We had a 14 Eco but hadn’t timed a 12, so dropped it down. Should’ve just done the 14, it felt like a M0
In comparison to stuff like Ara Kara which feels really tight this season?
I kinda feel Ara Kara and Dawn are the tough ones?
Priory simply because first boss eats you out and loves you to drip on the floor.
I feel like 2nd boss is the only part that can be sketchy. The rest is pretty chill
xd
Also easy to accidentally chain pull a pack in priory and brick the key
Dawn is VERY easy. IT is just that the last boss takes around 5 mins.
And it takes a lot of time, which I despise.
Agree, I think because of disrupting shout the first part is pretty free for warrior. Assuming you have a decent group comp anyway.
Yeah that’s fair, Dawn you either stuff on first or last boss generally
Wait. For Gambit?
Or Priory?
Gambit
Gambit
Wish they hadnt reverted the CD change on disrupting from the end of DF. 75 sec CD was so nice.
The dragon
Ah, my bad, sorry.
We would be too op
Yeah. The dragon cna be...
Honestly, I am more afraid of thge PUGS than the boss.
Double to triple disrupting per pack would be busted
Legit.
Literally just can people stand on his ass or not
Pug affix on the dragon be real man...
And surprisingly often the answer is they cannot
people like to move away from fires for some reason
instead of baiting RIGHT NEXT TO THEM
The main part is just trying to get all 4 adds when you’re around mid room and don’t have as good of an angle
Im legit just gonna wait to push later in the season so people learn the shit hopefully by the time turbo boost comes around.
which is conveniently where i put the dragon
Yeah, they go into panic mode. You see it on first boss Ara Kara too when one wave of webs is covering the whome fuckin room
Whole*
eh
Well I haven't done it super high but two chested an 11 pretty easily
@lusty grotto I got flood trinket on my 2nd or 3rd flood for the season with avoidance yesterday. Just had better trinkets already 😅
Btw I managed til this week to somehow dodge the void emissary affix and I'd like if it could respectfully go fuck itself.
How are the rest so chill and this one is like the anti-pug
Yeah, it seems much better now we’ve done it a couple of times. Think it just shocked us week 1/2 when we did the same stuff we normally do and needed like 15% at the end.
Didn't standing behind the boss used to be bad because you'd get caught on its hook? I'm assuming that's been removed
Ah nice
I haven't non-tanked that boss since Shadowlands so I've never noticed
The best part is when you tell people to stack and they all spread so the adds disperse just as the frontal locks in
I enjoy that a lot
(i don't)
Yep
Or the iconic "I'm being fixated, better run this add as far away from the group as I can"
I did like one or two keys all of s1 so didn't have previous experience to muddy my perspective fortunately haha
Is it me, or is Prio one of the easiest dungeon this season?
I don't think any of the dungeons are especially hard
Beside the first boss that can be like... a bit difficult.
Second boss is braindead.
Third boss is literally just a spank.
It's a pretty good season overall
HoA says hello.
HoA has an egregious amount of dispels
Just pull bigger and zug harder
You can always zug harder, brother
I'll try to zug harder brother
Only when you wipe have you reached your zug limit
I also had a DPS walk into the aoe.
On the first boss.
Or die to the aoe of the first pack.
The trick to HoA is pulling shit into the bosses
Seriously
Yeah.
Dude the amount of people who place their shit on first boss right behind me and then get mad when I don't throw the boss to the other side of the planet before his lasers
I'm pulling the gargoyles into the boss now.
but like you know that 4 pack of casters? before 3rd boss?
pull all those into the boss
Imagine you did though and then they just yeet your ass out of the circle 
they do nothing
Oh yeah I did like
The two packs in the hallway together
After the second boss
Like
Maximum mayhem
Wait what
You pull the mini boss to the last boss?
N no.
No
LOL
Between the second and third boss.
You can't do that even if you wanted to haha
Oh
the door is shut
The 4 casters
Yeah I do that too
I legit maccroed "SPELL REFLECT UP" oin /y
end of last season, wasn't it guaranteed that you got a delver's bounty from your first bountiful delve of the week?
And they still interrupt
we could have told not to do that

You used to be able to snap gargoyles through the door after 3rd boss though so you could use them for miniboss
cause they will interrupt harder
with a macro
(When venthyr could control them)
I feel like whenever I spell reflect
Bring a priest also
Nope
But the timer is way too tight
Thye become living GODS at interrupts
I'm like "please this can be like 2% of the boss HP for free if not more..."
I’m trying to do it on a 13 and it’s wayyyyy too tight
Also is there a reason why sims sim Nethergate better over Sacbrood?
Could be because sims sim offensive trinkets somehow better and doesn't count it as for tank?
I've been stuck on it.
did you read what i linked
it goes over that
is this real chat?
also nethergate is just mid
yes am grok
My royal advisors, is it real?
