#

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

wispy moth
#

Thx for explanation, clear and concise. Big up on you (and yeah pin it xD)

jagged pier
#

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

lusty grotto
#

yes you fucking do

frosty mango
#

Big bar mean big good right?

Right?

round pendant
#

I've never felt like tome does anything

#

but I know it's the best

#

so I use it

#

is tome shit in m+?

restive oak
#

is only good in raid

round pendant
#

eh it's still useful on bosses in dungeons surely

plush tendon
#

Tome is good in M+

#

lots of prio/ST damage

warm plinth
#

It's a single target trinket for the most part. That doesn't mean it's only good in raid.

plush tendon
#

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

lusty grotto
#

its better in raid

#

but its S-tier in keys

warm plinth
#

You're S-tier in keys

#

Gottem

round pendant
#

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

undone beacon
warm plinth
#

Though pacemaker does at least have main stat that is always active in addition to the crit.

lusty grotto
#

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

round pendant
#

at least my tome has secondaries

plush tendon
#

theres like a group of 5-6 trinkets that are all pretty good

warm plinth
#

Have you tried pressing buttons

lusty grotto
#

like the dudes that post brand damage

frosty mango
#

Imagine having brand

lusty grotto
#

and you can very obviously tell, they just dont press buttons

plush tendon
#

Arcanocore, Atenna, Pacemaker, Brand, Tome, Soleahs, Sacbrood. Just choose two, and be happy

frosty mango
#

You forgot cursed stone idol

plush tendon
#

Idol is cool

frosty mango
#

We like to live dangerously

plush tendon
#

but the channel is a bit sketch

frosty mango
#

Shockwave > channel

plush tendon
#

not something id use in a real key; rather play safe

frosty mango
#

Hope it’s not on Dr

plush tendon
#

but fun for ~~small ~~weekly keys

frosty mango
#

Healers adjust

plush tendon
#

yea, shockwaving to use a trinket is hella troll

#

if you need a CC rotation

solid cargo
#

Did 10s last night farming drops. Love that weird little cursed idol

warm plinth
#

Idk I'd just send it tbh lol

lusty grotto
#

channel for 1s less than beacon or grieftorch, "oh its a bit of a troll"

warm plinth
#

We've used more dangerous trinkets

plush tendon
#

there are safer and other good options

lusty grotto
#

reminder that beacon and grieftorch were 2s casts

round pendant
#

just shockwave first

lusty grotto
#

not a 1s cast

frosty mango
#

Ngl it did almost get me killed in dawnbreaker

solid cargo
#

Just shield wall first monkahmm

frosty mango
#

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

lusty grotto
#

thats the best kind of greed

frosty mango
#

Also low key is dawn breaker the most dangerous key?

solid sun
#

I loved that tornado trinket

jagged pier
#

for prot yes

solid sun
#

It was so sick

frosty mango
#

I’m cranking in every other key but dawnbreaker has some booty clinchers for us

solid cargo
#

Dots. Our nemesis

frosty mango
#

Got blasted by a tainted slash in a db15

Made me very scared

i eat shit on that pull every run

frosty mango
#

It’s like 4-5 packs

#

But there’s a commander and 3 tainted dudes and one of those shadow swirly guys

wispy moth
frosty mango
#

I don’t know mobs names I just call them by what they do

#

“Tainted slash guy” and “swirly shadow guy”

solid cargo
#

Hey same

undone beacon
#

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

solid cargo
#

I barely learn boss names lol

#

I hate the stupid courtyard so I get most of my trash at the church

frosty mango
#

Healers be damned

plush tendon
#

I do this for DB

undone beacon
#

Meta be damned I’m the tank is my 2/10 route

plush tendon
#

the scariest pull is pull 8

#

with the heal reduction

wispy moth

#

Fucking hate looking at Dawn in MDT/threechest it’s incomprehensible to me

wispy moth
frosty mango
plush tendon
#

the fuck is pull 6

wispy moth
#

Bahahah ok

frosty mango
#

pull 6 looks awful but its really not

undone beacon
#

I just can’t visualize it well in my minds eye

wispy moth
#

I almost do the same

plush tendon
wispy moth
#

The only prob in pull 6 is the big guy and his debuff

frosty mango
#

theres like 2 casters and you just grip them

blazing ridge
#

Got called bad for pulling like 6 without the front 2 and the group down left

warm plinth
#

Ah yes, with my grip

frosty mango
#

huge efficiency gains

undone beacon
# frosty mango

I drop the extra shadow in 6 and pull the pack to the right of 8 as well

warm plinth
#

How silly of me

solid cargo
undone beacon
#

Imagine not learning boss names, fucking PLEBS

blazing ridge
#

I pulled 6 frontals back away from the group healer instant dead next frontal rogue dead

chrome falcon

that looks fucking horrible

undone beacon
chrome falcon
#

i struggle there without the outside pack even

warm plinth
#

Ngl i don't know most boss names but I do know big momma

lusty grotto
#

i did pull 6 a lot in s1

blazing ridge

"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

frosty mango

#

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

undone beacon
lusty grotto
#

gigazap is what i call him cause thats what he does

frosty mango
#

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

lusty grotto
#

oh

#

thats his name

plush tendon
#

if its doable... could be cool

frosty mango
#

pull 6 looks bad but its not

#

pull 7 is the danger

lusty grotto
#

it was doable in s1

#

why wouldnt it be doable now

frosty mango
#

but pull 7 you can LOS it

#

you can LOS half of those mechanics

lusty grotto
#

you just have to dodge frontals, its fun

undone beacon
chrome falcon
#

a lot of the packs in/around the cathedral were changed

undone beacon

Respect the bosses nerd

chrome falcon
#

but i'm not sure which if any outside

plush tendon

#

the pack inside the cathedral is absolutely fucking rancid now

wispy moth
warm plinth
#

Actually someone asked me yesterday if you can los the slam on the tank in dawn (as not the tank)

solid cargo
plush tendon
#

and not do your cathedral pull?

Reminds me of John Bonestorm, first boss of ICC

and theres only 1 caster

oh wait, which pull 6 you talking about

I rp a warrior with brain damage ok. I'm just doing good RP by not knowing anything about what I'm fighting

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

thats what I run on higher keys

not as efficient but much more comfy

Yeah i know its S tier trinket

#

I got one in the vault🤓

I honestly prefer the other route

#

but I hate your church pulls

lusty grotto
undone beacon
#

Pull the whole church and each of the doors

#

In one pull

#

Like a man

humble swift
#

And never had it dropped before

lusty grotto
#

but you know its S tier

#

so why ask how good is it?

undone beacon
#

Short answer, it’s good

#

Long answer, it’s very good priority/ST damage when used properly

#

Summary: it’s good

chrome falcon
#

from my friend in a 12 eco dome

#

looks like tome is bugged

#

2.5% of his damage

lusty grotto
#

...

#

thats

#

normal

#

matta youre not memeing are you?

tight hinge
#

brand is just obscene af

chrome falcon
#

he's saying it seems really low for him

lusty grotto
#

2.5% in overall is normal tome damage

#

BUT IT GIVES YOU CRIT

#

its not just whatever fucking dumb shit shows up in details

turbid yoke
#

Feels like the haste vers neck? i have brand and antenna HC

chrome falcon
#

how much crit at max hero

chrome falcon
#

i can't check without actually having the trinket

nocturne spindle
#

6600 while procced

#

3300 base

lusty grotto
#

just check sense s1 logs

#

and its around 2-3% for its nuke

#

that's not the sole reason why its good

nocturne spindle
#

its also more single

lusty grotto
#

absolutely

chrome falcon
#

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

Hey guys, what should I take from vault in your opinion?

you can buy the items off the vendor after you finish the delve season

then just upgrade it

Yeah that’s what I did

I had a billion undercoins so

I like the current Pala mog

Yeah but then you’re playing a paladin

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.

lusty grotto
#

not useful

#

tertiaries arent worth a pick over other more impacting slots and/or track jumps

undone beacon
#

Socket (when applicable) > Leech > Speed > Avoidance

lusty grotto
#

also avoidance is our worst tertiary since we're tanks

#

yes

#

what pash said

undone beacon
#

Or if you’re based and fastpilled then Speed >>>>> All

lusty grotto
#

i saw that Nav

lunar flare
#

Avoid avoidance HEHE

night heron
#

Alright then I'm not gonna bother giving up better short-term upgrades

lusty grotto
#

did you read the linked post

harsh trellis
#

I mean how many options do you have

night heron
undone beacon
#

That’s all

#

Having a stat is better than no stat but it’s not worth seeking out

mighty valley
#

yeah, no tertiaries are, but ESPECIALLY not avoidance

lusty grotto
undone beacon
lusty grotto
#

very very very slightly

undone beacon
#

Normal move speed lookin ass

blazing ridge
#

Speed so good

night heron
lusty grotto
#

but only cause you get something bonus out of it

#

avoidance in general is no bueno for us, like we've said

night heron
#

Just out of curiosity though, does anyone know what's the average % of AoE damage we take throughout a dungeon?

lusty grotto
#

you should 100% NOT pick myth gloves if you already have myth gloves

harsh trellis
#

avoidance is just low level aoe magic reduction right?

night heron
#

I guess that varies a lot depending on the dungeon

harsh trellis
#

shit dps worries about

lusty grotto
#

we dont die to aoe

#

you can be afk

#

and not die to aoe

#

as a tank

mighty valley
#

it varies a lot but yeah, unavoidable aoe is tuned to threaten a baby dps's health bar

lusty grotto
#

☝️

night heron
#

Yeah, I was just curious about if it's something like 0,5% or 5% of the damage we take

torpid dome
#

What mitigatipn do you guys use on the tank breath on nexus king?

night heron
#

But I did take note that Avoidance is never worth

lusty grotto
#

not really gonna bother getting those numbers

#

cause its a non issue

#

but feel free

jagged pier
#

but really u only have IP SW AND SR

#

better stack em

lusty grotto

i mean this is assuming youre not going face forward into avoidable aoe of course

Did you have the tankbuster debuff?

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

We’re doin H Dimmy tonight

lusty grotto

Big excite

lusty grotto
#

i just hate dimmy as a melee

#

well p1 specifically

undone beacon
#

I like Salhaadar a lot but people in my group were struggling P3

lusty grotto
#

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

undone beacon
#

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

lusty grotto
#

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

harsh trellis
#

not all the way on the outside

lusty grotto
#

but the hitboxes on loomy and dimmy for sure have been consistently atrocious

undone beacon
#

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

lusty grotto
#

p1 for dimmy, last phase for loomy

woven torrent
#

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

undone beacon
#

Like on our first heroic pull I didn’t even bother doing callouts and we killed it

lusty grotto
#

as in it doesnt trigger it

woven torrent
#

yeah but i mean how exactly do u minmax it?

lusty grotto
#

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

woven torrent
#

or start in sword then

lusty grotto
#

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

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

lusty grotto

no

but im not getting brand soon

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

lusty grotto

yeah thats true

jagged pier
#

as brand doesnt have time to ramp

im still a trial, and i dont raid as tank

You need a real supple wrist

To adequately angle your sword correctly

First boss on Dawn - is she bugged, 70% of the time she wont reposition at all after the circles go down?

lusty grotto

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

lusty grotto
#

just do wide moves

idle copper
#

she seems a lot worse this season

lusty grotto
#

plant feet

#

unfortunate but

#

its the only thing you can do aside from having smart ranged bait correctly

#

and hope someone kicks

idle copper
#

doesnt help people are dropping the circles on/by her (ranged)

lusty grotto
#

so MW and HPal are kinda fucked, but its not consistent

#

pres is kinda fucked as well

solid sun
#

Is two stacks of the ring debuff mostly just a you’re dead situation on H Dimmy

lusty grotto
#

i dont think so

#

but

#

it might be due to gear levels

solid sun
#

Because on N my squad is not good at avoiding two stacks

lusty grotto
#

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

@yam wowhead has the haste/vers neck, but I guess so yeah

mighty valley
#

bis lists are basically meaningless tbh

#

they're just like "if you had all the gear in the game, what should you wear"

round pendant
#

yeah that's bis within the context of having all the other gear I imagine

mighty valley
#

but it's pretty unlikely you'll get all the gear in the game lol

thorn remnant
#

its just that our tier has way more crit than vers i guess

mighty valley
#

yeah you'll be happy with basically any myth neck with high haste

#

unlike last season, there are a lot of those from m+

thorn remnant

Ima just take the neck, tnx for the input

Yeah you get a random piece of TV loot for deathless, could be a codex

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.

lusty grotto
#

ok thanks for the heads up

#

will test it out for sure

plush tendon
#

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)

solid sun
#

My dps died on every boss

plush tendon
#

but every week should get easier; dps do more dammies so bosses fall over faster

Is this a tad too much Haste? 😮

lusty grotto
#

whats the rating

#

percents mean nothing with ITF

red beacon
#

anyone know if there is a haste cap ? Cause my simc are rating haste really poorly on dmg

hoary spear
lusty grotto
#

sims stop going haste after 20k

#

and you should not

#

25-27k is when you want to stop

mighty valley
hoary spear
#

ok i'll change my gems

#

because their all Haste/ Crit

red beacon
#

I'm at 22k

hoary spear
#

maybe I go full crit on gems

red beacon
#

but Crit simc like 3 times the amount

lusty grotto
#

full stat gems are bad for us

hoary spear
#

so crit/ vers?

lusty grotto
#

sure

mighty valley
#

whichever sims best

lusty grotto
#

even mastery ones

hoary spear
#

ok thank you friend

lusty grotto
#

but yeah what harrow said

hoary spear
#

I thought mastery was ass for us?

#

ok i'll sim

mighty valley
#

stats aren't far apart for us

#

if all else is equal, mastery does the least for us

lusty grotto
#

its lowest prio but its not ass, its good

hoary spear
#

ok thank you!

mighty valley
#

since people avoid it so much, it often sims as the best dps stat by far

#

until you get a little of it lol

lusty grotto
red beacon
#

Haste simc so low for me

lusty grotto
#

did you read?

#

what i said?

#

all 3 lines

red beacon
#

Is tankiness hurt a lot by not going haste tho ?

lusty grotto
#

yes

lament osprey
#

For salad bar during starkiller swing, it’s just face the strike and dr?

lusty grotto
#

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

hoary spear
#

I really miss Demolish as prot, shame hardly anyone runs it

red beacon
#

at 21800 haste my uptime on SB is 99% on MM +15

#

I feel like i can drop a bit

lusty grotto
#

please dont say mm

#

thats marksmanship

mighty valley
#

are you playing heavy repercussions?

red beacon
#

Nope

#

Into the frey

hoary spear
#

I took the other one when my haste was low

mighty valley
#

heavy repercussions is the one that lets you have high sb uptime at low haste

hoary spear
#

ok

#

Im sure I read it as the other way around but ok

red beacon
#

Yeah Repercusion is good when you cant maintain the SB

mighty valley
#

it's a little counterintuitive since people are like "i'll take the haste talent since I have low haste"

plush flint
#

So if haste really drops off at 20k ish, ehy is ITF good then? It gives more haste?

mighty valley
#

but heavy rep does so much more for sb uptime than raw haste

red beacon
#

I wonder what is the haste cap for maintening 100% SB uptime

#

Need to do some maths

mighty valley

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

dont

use hero

the effect is free so they're the best boots at their ilvl but

check your apl

delete anything in custom apl

sharp merlin

Soulbinder Embrace better than Mud Myth from last season?

lusty grotto
#

yes

native ember
#

ah yes ty sir do we still need the apl for tome cause i couldnt find it in the pins

lusty grotto
#

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

sharp merlin
#

fair enough

#

Mud just never fails me

#

LOL

lusty grotto
#

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

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.

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

That also sucked. That entire area needs to just be redone where you don’t have to pick anything up anymore to be honest

What’s the mail room bug @warm plinth

lavish rivet
# red beacon I wonder what is the haste cap for maintening 100% SB uptime

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..

% haste anything actually

#

Nvm I misread your message

#

🏃‍♂️‍➡️

lavish rivet
warm plinth
#

Yeah realistically you need 100% haste I think right

#

To actually have 100% uptime

#

Because of how cooldown reduction from haste is valculated

#

Calculated

torpid dome
jagged pier
#

100% haste is without anytalents just gcd

jagged gust
warm plinth
#

Well I'm saying after everything, your actual haste % would have to be 100%. Not that you'd need 100% haste from rating

lavish rivet
#

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.

toxic pewter
#

Lol

#

Wat

warm plinth
#

Ah true you have shield charge. Didn't think of that.

So ((16/9.729)-1)x100 would be 64.44% haste

lavish rivet
#

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.

warm plinth
#

After everything

lavish rivet
#

yeah

jagged pier
#

thats imply u always have full stacks of ITF which isnt the case

warm plinth
#

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

lavish rivet
#

Exactly

warm plinth
#

Math is fun

lavish rivet
#

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.

warm plinth
#

Yeah I have around 25k and only notice if I've been chain pulling for a good bit

lavish rivet

Nothing you can't play around.

bleak breach

What do you guys think is easiest key?
Has to be Eco Dome right?

warm plinth

Gambit or eco, yeah

#

Though tbh streets is pretty free now after the nerfs too

bleak breach
#

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?

blazing shuttle
#

I will say.

#

Past the first room of Gambit?

#

It's a free fucking key.

bleak breach
#

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.

warm plinth
#

I feel like 2nd boss is the only part that can be sketchy. The rest is pretty chill

torpid dome
bleak breach
#

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.

Is it me, or is Prio one of the easiest dungeon this season?

I don't think any of the dungeons are especially hard

blazing shuttle
